The Michael Berry Show

Every morning when I wake up I have a text wedding for me from Marcus Lottrell who is known as the lone survivor which was the name of the book he wrote about his experience in Afghanistan when by all rights he never

should have survived. Everyone else involved in that campaign died. He lived to tell the story

and share the story of the heroism of his mates.

Anytime Marcus is on the show, it's a treat, but it's always kind of an odd thing because I feel like I should show him the

respect he's due and be formal with him because that's how most of you expect me to be

but we're buds we we laugh and joke and and talk in what President Trump once called locker room talk and we goof around together.

And so I think there has to be a balance of that.

I have not gone back to listen to this interview since it first

aired quite some number of years ago so I'm going to be listening as you do. Normally I'll listen to the of I like to discuss you think you'd rather hear two people talk wouldn't you

then someone ask a question and then formally answer a question but anyway here's

he's been on several times but here's our conversation with our dear friend the lone survivor

Marcus Lottrell. The movie opens today is called Lone Survivor. It's the story of

four Navy SEALs. The only one to survive was Marcus Lottrell. He's our guest. Our guest is Marcus Lottrell.

Marcus, I gotta ask you, did you ever expect when you were, I have to say a hello to you from

your former frat brother at Sam Houston State University, Scott Kutaj.

Did you ever expect back in 99 or at Sam Houston State University that you were going to end up

being the subject of national talk shows

and now a big movie about the life you've lived? No sir, absolutely not. I mean you know me

you know my fraternity brothers so like that you know I'm kind of I'm a quiet guy country

boy so I never in a million years thought my career as a Navy SEAL would lead down this road.

Absolutely not, yeah.
