Interview With The Man Who Killed Bin Laden - Humans Ep. 1: Rob O'Neill 

Good ol boy from Montana and a brother from Jersey sitting down and having a conversation the country needs more of this it’s crazy how much we have in common

This guy is 100 percent one of the most bad ass humans to ever take a breath. Respect this man to no end. Hero is a understatement

I don’t think I’ve ever heard or seen an interview, where the person being interviewed carried the entire interview himself from start to finish. Wow, just wow. This was an absolutely amazing story to hear & experience.

Joe trying to talk to a trained killer about feelings and emotions is the funniest shit ever 😂

I DID NOT want this conversation to end....PURE GOLD!

This was the best interview Joe has ever done. Joe allowed the man to talk without speaking over him.

Man. I did 5 years in the USMC infantry, 2009-2014 (2 deployments). And I really need to tip my hat to these frogmen. They’re a different breed. The amount of training required to be elite is unimaginable by most.

went to school with this dude from 5th grade thru high school. what u see here is the real dude. he's a good guy from a great family. (and a better 3pt shooter than he lets on :) )

This is without a doubt one of the best interviews Joe has ever done. Shout out to Joe and huge shout out to Rob O'Neill. This was amazing

As a veteran who served in Afghanistan, this interview gave me chills! Thanks, Joe, for interviewing Mr. Rob O’Neil. Rob is one hell of a storyteller; it felt like I was there with him. 😮

Ive watched countless interviews with Robert O’Neill, and this is easily one of the best I’ve seen

Absolutely loved this interview! Joe you 100% should do More interviews like this ! God bless this man ! Our soldiers are beyond amazing! What they go through is unthinkable! I hope they get more help though I see so many people suffering from PTSD from being in and how it affects them and their families

That quit tomorrow speech was inspiring as hell 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I hope this is the start of something new. There's a bunch of us from the hood who are interested in interesting people from different walks of life! Please do another one. This convo was dope AF! 💯💯

Perspective and experience is everything. One person came from an animal hunting city and the other came from a human hunting city. I love this! It shows why conversation is so important

My first time actually listening to a 2hr + podcast ever in my LIFE! What a great man and a awesome interview! Just WOW!! It’s 2:30 am and I have work in a couple of hours! I was too glued to pause this episode! Just wow!!

The dialogue between these two people from vastly different walks of life and views have is incredible. Two humans having a human conversation. One of the best podcasts I've had the pleasure of listening to in awhile.

"If your worry can't help it, why waste your energy. " It's hard in the moment to accept, but truly this is one of those truths of life. Much like how, holding a grudge only burdens the person holding it. Once you can apply these to your life, it does become more calm.

This guy is amazing at telling story’s a couple beers with him hanging out has to be an adventure all in itself even joe was all in to the story

Best interview I’ve ever seen, literally didn’t want it to end.

Joe Budden, this interview is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Humans series is gonna dominate the space...congrats sir!

When Rob mentioned “it’s a big planet but a small world we have a lot in common with people from different places” it made me think of when I was sitting on watch on my ship I was in the navy, we were somewhere I can’t remember where exactly but we had a Russian AGI, one of there intel collecting ships, I watched on the infrared camera zoomed in on their ship, there was a couple of their sailors carrying trash bags to the bag of the ship in the middle of the night and throwing them overboard. And that really grounded me. Like those people are just like us they just speak a different language and live in a different country. Same world though. Like yes earth is huge but it’s one of the smaller planets in this solar system and we just can’t get away from alienating different groups of humans. Just made me have a deep moment of thought at 1 am that night. P.S. it was way out in the middle of the ocean so throwing trash over the side is “legal” under maritime law

Mr O’Neill - we thank you for your service! We appreciate you for the sacrifices you have made to protect us.

“I didn’t wanna be the only guy in the room with a kill.” What an absolute legend.

This dude was full of wisdom. Thank you for giving him the space to talk freely

What a fantastic, amazing, mind blowing interview! I’m intensely proud of Rob and I’d love to buy him a beer and listen to whatever he wanted to talk about.

I will never forget this interview. Watched it months ago and I still bring it up in conversations

This where joe excels at. Being a true professional and delivering a good interview. Love and hip hop even rap music was easy to him. We never know where we will end up or what we'll be excellent at.

As we proceed. Appreciate y’all support.

Don't let Rob's humility and folksy "Aww shucks..." country boy demeanor fool you. This man was one of the finest SEALs the US Navy ever built. He entered BUD/s at 19 yrs old standing 6'2", and in tremendous shape because he was previously a college basketball player. No colleges anywhere- no matter how small they are -hand out scholarships to people who aren't above average athletes. The student-athletes at even the tiniest Div. 3 schools are composed of people who are physically superior to the average working man. Rob had all the advantages upon entering into SEAL training because he was both a lifelong athlete, and an avid outdoorsman. He's very competitive by nature, and he absolutely hates losing at absolutely anything. He had plenty of experience with guns, hunting/tracking, and surviving nature's elements from growing up in the frozen forests of Montana hunting big game. Without question, Rob was cut out for the Navy SEALs. He's inherently curious and attentive by nature, and he has a steel trap mind. He has fast reaction times; was already a compotent marksman prior to enlisting; and his reflexes have always told him to think first before panicking. Rob had all the qualities SEAL instructors look for in new recruits. If you've ever listened to the content of other former SEALs and Tier 1 operators, you'll have heard the term "one percenter" get thrown around before. The 1% were the guys in special forces training everyone else in the class hated because they were not only the physically superior athletes, but they also always seemed to "get it" instantly. They never fell behind during PT, and they mostly passed their hardgate tests the first time, every time. That was Rob. He was one of those detestable "one percenters" the rest of the class simply couldn't hang with. Again, don't let his humility and blue collar values fool you. Rob O'Neill was always destined to become an elite warrior someday. He just has the class to never be the one who says it.

Probably the best interview I have ever watched, didn't want it to end!

The fact that Joe let his guest talk is a skill that other hosts need to learn. Joe excellent work. This is what a hero looks like. Volunteering to go on a mission that you are expecting to die, is a trait that not many people have. Thank you Seal team 6 and thank you to every branch and service member of the United States military. We are living in strange times now, but this is the greatest country in the world. God bless America ❤

Joe Budden, this is single-handedly one of the best interviews I have seen. Mr. O'Neill stories are captivating. Unbelievable...

This is the best interview ive ever seen. Hands down. I’m just in absolute awe at this man’s storytelling

Binge watched a lot of Robert O’Neil podcasts today and this is the best one. I love how you asked about family and the regular guy type of stuff.

Robs ability to recognise his past mind sets and corrects himself on that way of thinking now hes older is admirable . Brilliant interview

This is crazy epic, it’s always a treat to see joe step out the Music culture lane and titling this “Humans” is straight to the punch 👍🏽 Fully along with this Series! can’t wait for Ep. 2! Shout out The JBN for never failing to Deliver🔥

Loved this convo..well done gents & thank you for your service Mr. O’Neill

Great interview… 👏🏼👏🏼 Just 2 minutes 19 seconds into this interview I love this guy already, what a likable person he is, thank you so much for your service!!!

The mindset these guys have is amazing. he kept saying " oh we knew we were going to die" and to still push through when you know that it's a high possibility...sheesh.. dude is a real one. Glad he can still find humor in life.

As a civilian that goes to work and listen to RU-vid content and think "what if I enlisted"? I am here to say by far this is the best story I've ever heard (which is the truth) and also here to say from the bottom of my heart "Thank you for your service" and condolences to the soldiers that we all lost and to their families. I am forever grateful for Great Men and Women that serve this country...

I’ve watched this video twice, that’s how good of an interview this is/how interesting Rob’s stories are to listen to

This is such a great & inspirational interview. I’m glad RU-vid put this in my video rotation.

“If you can master the basics, success will take care of itself” - Rob O’Neill

Rob O'Neil is going to make an amazinggggggg grandpa. Imagine all the stories!! Joe and Rob, 2 very different walks of life and the interview was so amazing.

I had to pause 12 minutes in. This is an outstanding conversation and without the short leading me to this video I’d be missing out. Definitely subscribed after this. Keep doing great things!

Absolutely awesome on every level. What a great interview! Joe asked the right questions in the right way and they were answered so well. I couldn't stop listening

What buddy got into at 20:05 was nothing short on incredible. Shout out to Joe for taking such an interview and bro being down to do it. Crossing the worlds.

If you told me in 2009 listening to padded room that this is where Joe would be at in life I’d be pleasantly surprised. Witnessing the growth has really been something.

A podcast has not grabbed my attention like this in a long time. Thanks to both of you

Ok, respect where respect is due. This was an outstanding interview. From start to finish it was very interesting and easy to listen to. The conversation flowed naturally, Joe gave Rob all the time needed to speak and didn’t cut him off yet knew when to dial the conversation in on something for the audience.

This is the best story telling I've ever listened to in an interview. What a life this guy has lived

It's funny when a city guy and a country guy sit down and talk. As a country boy it's funny to see Joe's reactions to the life

Great job joe and solid guest. Keep up the great work 💪🤙🏾

Thanks for this! Great interview! Really cool to hear Rob's perspectives on things

This is the pinnacle of a pivot and exceptional journalism. Joe is different and this "Humans" segment looks and feels like it's gonna set the bar. Keep up the dope fckn work!

Joe, I was never a fan of yours, but you definitely found your calling with these. Keep doing what you're doing my man. Your interviews are great and you have a wide net of people you interview for every person and every race.

Only 15 min in….Joe we’ve said this before but you have a gift when it comes to talking with people. I know life has had its ups and downs with you, but I’m glad you’re stepping into something new! This is the content we want to see!

I absolutely love this Podcast! The sheer intrigue to the conversation while letting Rob talk was a perfect relationship between host and guest. Keep up all the great work!

I just came across your channel, I usually watch nature stuff on here and stumbled across your interview with Colin O'Brady and loved it. His message is so inspiring. I came back to watch this one from the series, I am invested right from the jump. You are such a thoughtful interviewer, aren't afraid to ask questions, and pull out such meaningful messages from your interviewees about human strength, resilience, and allow them space to tell their stories.

This is an unexpected direction but I like it. I like non celebrity content. Loving this 🙌🏾

As a Hood dude and navy seal historian this was so dope. I’ve read both his books and heard his story many times but seeing him with somebody who represents my culture was lit..Buddens I Salute you and Rob Respect to you and all the frogmen, the world’s greatest shooters..Long Live the UDT 💪🏿💪🏿 The Fact I thought my Charges would keep me from trying out in Bud/s is my worst regret to this day, Met Remy A. At JFK and meeting a Black Seal from the hood made me realized what I could have been but it was super dope! Joe u need to have him on too he’s from the Bx

I’ve never seen any of your videos before, but I sure am glad that this was the first one I watched. Absolutely fantastic 🙌🏻

This was amazing episode joe has came a long way and thank you to rob and all soldiers for your service

This was a major awakening for Joe hearing the life of a military man let alone Tier1 Operator. Crazy life to say the least!

What a cool guy! I also love Joe’s interview style he just lets the person speak their mind & then he interjects with certain questions to move the conversation forward. This is a boss move right here

I love to have more human episodes! I’ve watched all three on here and they are great, inspiring and informative.

Put a great conversationalist like Joe in the room, with genuine curiosity he's had his whole life - with an audience that might have never been exposed to these stories - and bring on epic guests - You have the recipe for greatness. I'm here for this - ARE YOU IN THE MOOOD YETTTT

This is one of the most interesting interviews I've ever seen! How do you have a sniper who's a great storyteller 👏👏👏

Great interview, I watched the whole thing in one sitting start to finish. Joe is really really good at this. Don't stop man keep making more you got something here

I've recently become rather fascinated with the SEAL stories and have watched several interviews that Rob O'Neill has done. This one is, by far, the best! Thank you, Rob, for your amazing service, and thank you, Joe, for an amazing job!

HAHAHAH when Rob made the joke about "put a spoon in the water, and if it tastes like salt, there are sharks", Joe's face could not have looked anymore confused.

So proud of Joe's evolution. He's had an amazing journey from hiphop to journalist.I also believe Joe is extremely intelligent an has the ability to command attention.I thoroughly enjoy listening to his podcast & watching his interviews.I wish him continued success in all his endeavors.May he achieve his hearts desire.

33 minutes in and I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this! What a fantastic raconteur! 👏 Thank you for your service, sir 💐 (and Joe! I'm LOVING these documentaries 💜)

This is a awesome interview. He gave a lot of good life gems! Great interview JOE! GREAT JOB ROB! 💯

He's a good interviewer and I hope Joe goes more out of his wheelhouse like this one

So many goose bump moments listening to this... A truly amazing conversation. From heart breaking to heart warming, from the mundane to the extreme. Thank you for allowing this story to be heard and allowing him to just tell his story.

This guy is sooooo interesting … the stories he got.. he should have his own movie about his life… best interview I’ve ever watched

Yo Joe , this is easily one of the dopest interviews I’ve ever seen by far. Great work.

“Every master has been horrible” great quote.

Hands down the best interview Joe has ever conducted. Rob steals the show (as expected). Best 2hrs I’ve had in a long time

The thing I like about this guy ia he's so down to earth and humble, so sooo quick-witted and intelligent. Someone with "book sense" and common sense in one. A rare find.

Best conversation with Robert I’ve seen. Felt like it was just getting started. Well done!!

You have to appreciate a guy like this. The sacrifices and mental pains he’s been through is unbelievable to the normal human

Joe...my dude. As a friend of the show and proud Marine I want to thank you...great interview!

I absolutely loved this interview !!!!

LOVED this podcast. So good. Thanks Joe & Rob!

the title "humans" alone is genius it's already thought provoking before you see any content. congratulations to the network and to joe.

the podfather back with fire content

Impressive interview. It moved so fluid question to question. Good Job Joe and thank you Mr. O'Neil!

absolutely loved this convo. just subscribed!

Great interview!! Although the SEAL speaks really fast sometimes lol but I thought there was no way I’d sit through 2+ hours of an interview but it flew by! Really looking forward to this series!

This is so dope, Joe. Loved this whole interaction.

Loved this! Just finished watching…now I’m about to watch it again!! After I check out his podcast…

Fantastic conversation brother, I really enjoyed this.

And I almost became a Patreon member to watch this episode.. thanks Joe

Awesome interview! Great to see two men from different walks of life sit down and have a respectful conversation.

This man needs a movie or documentary seriously

Absolutely amazing story. It left me wanting more more more. Every last detail.

The way he describes the story of the killing Bin Ladin with All that energy had my heart racing like I’m watching a movie 🤯
