| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's episode number 328 of the way I heard it. Hello. This one is called Johnny Joey |
| 0:09.4 | Jones is unbroken because he is Chuck. He is unbroken. Yes, he is, which as you pointed out |
| 0:18.8 | earlier is a heck of a thing to say about a guy who's missing both his legs, but he is |
| 0:24.4 | fully intact otherwise and a really smart guy, really smart guy knows a lot and shares a lot of |
| 0:33.2 | what he went through in the Marine Corps, which is different than the military as he points out. |
| 0:42.0 | That was almost our title, by the way. He said, I wasn't in the military. I was in the Marine Corps. |
| 0:48.7 | Yeah. And he's not the first Marine to say that. I almost said former Marine, also of which |
| 0:54.7 | there is no such thing. There's no such thing as that. Yeah. If his face rings about, it's probably |
| 0:59.4 | because he's seen him on Fox News. He's been a contributor there and now he's he's on the five. |
| 1:05.8 | He just filled in a couple of weeks ago in the eight o'clock slot. I was a guest on his show. I've |
| 1:11.5 | I've met him three or four times, probably more than that. And recently, I've had a chance to |
| 1:17.4 | talk to him on the air, but it's never really satisfying to tell you the truth. I mean, no, you |
| 1:22.5 | don't get enough time. It's like five minutes. It takes me 10 minutes to say hello. And he's a |
| 1:28.2 | storyteller too. I mean, this conversation you're about to hear is among my favorites because it's |
| 1:36.4 | it's very honest. You know, look, this guy got blown up in Afghanistan back 2010, early August, |
| 1:43.8 | lost his legs. His hand was dangling almost almost lost his hand. Yeah. I got that reattached. I |
| 1:50.6 | don't know. I don't know. The only guy I know who's been blown up worse than triple J is Travis |
| 1:56.0 | Mills, who's also been on this podcast. And both of these men are so similar. I don't care how many |
| 2:02.6 | layers you peel back. There's there's just not an ounce of self pity. They're filled with empathy. |
| 2:09.4 | They're filled with gratitude. They're filled with life and passion and purpose. And God, I mean, |
| 2:16.4 | it just sounds so earnest talking about them. I hate that about myself, but I love these guys. |
| 2:23.6 | Joey's a funny guy though too. He can make some jokes about it as well, which is great. |
