Governor Perry states: “Brisket and sausage – nothing else even gets close. Our Bar-B-Que is the best in the world.” But one thing is certain—Texans take their Bar-B-Que as seriously as their state pride. ✅ How Marcus & Governor Perry Met – A story of friendship, leadership, and shared purpose. ✅ Morgan Luttrell's Helicopter Crash – The harrowing experience of Marcus' twin brother, Navy SEAL Morgan Luttrell. ✅ Ibogaine Treatment – A step-by-step breakdown of this groundbreaking therapy for PTSD and TBI. ✅ Stanford Study on Ibogaine – The latest research and findings on this alternative treatment. ✅ Texas Ibogaine Initiative – Governor Perry's goals to bring this life-changing treatment to Texas. ✅ Marcus & Amber Capone's Mission – How they're saving lives by providing funding to help over 1,000 veterans seeking Ibogaine therapy. ✅ Unbelievable Survival Story – A former vet from the third Ranger Battalion had a jump accident where his parachute didn't open, leading to a TBI for 17 years — until he found hope with Ambio and Ibogaine treatment.

In This Episode You Will Hear: • I made that fateful statement: “Hey if you're ever through Austin, come by and see us.” Fat chance you're gonna get into the Governor's mansion, right? (10:48) • As we make progress on getting Ibogaine off of schedule 1 and through clinical trials, that facilities will have Ibogaine available to treat traumatic brain injuries. (21:14) • There is a way to regenerate the brain. (23:22) • If you don't want to quit, generally speaking, you're not gonna. (31:42) • Ibogaine. 1 treatment. Within 48 hours the desire is gone. The withdrawals – gone. (33:32) • Ibogaine is on schedule 1. Schedule 1 is addictive, and that is has no medical purpose. (35:56) • The best part about this is that you can't lie t it. (36:25) • I tell people, “Be curious, lean into this.” (40:42) • I think there are a lot of people who are starting clinics. Go somewhere reputable. Do your homework. Make sure there's coaching before. (59:26) • We spend billions of dollars in this state to treat people who have mental health issues. (61:39) • There's no reason why the state legislature wouldn't go, you know what? We need to make this available. (64:57) • I think that use of Ibogaine is another one that could have a massively powerful, positive effect on this country – I think even in the world. (69:51) • For the naysayers and those who still are not believers, we're gonna prove it to you.

(5:53) • [Rob O'Neil] I have a podcast as well, called “The Operator.” We're called The Operator because if you're doing anything, you're an operator. (6:18) • Having a big man to kick your ass and teach you wind a bobbin; you realize there is skill here. (9:59) • When people quit BUDS, it's not because “this is hard”. [It's because] I'm tired of the broken foot; I'm tire of the shin splints; I'm tire of my dislocated shoulder; I'm tired. 21:20) • In BUDS, one of the biggest problems is eating too much. Like I want 5 cheeseburgers, but we have a 4-mile run afterwards. (26:35) • [Rob] and for everyone that doesn't know, can you explain what a SDV is? [Marcus] Imagine a mini submarine and shrink it down. The difference is that a submarine is dry inside, and the SDV is completely full of water. (37:40) • Listen to Marcus discuss the details of being in an SDV for 8 hours. (38:52) • [Marcus] Talk about ultimate torture - If you have a deep freeze in your garage, fill that sucker full of water, crawl in there and sit down for 8 hours. (38:53) • The first time I got in there, I was terrified. (43:49) • [Marcus] There's stuff that happens to us out there. Sometimes safety gets in the way of it. (58:40) • [After falling down the mountain during Operation Red Wings] I could hear that stream running. I've got to get me water, but I kept thinking I can't drink out of it, because my buddies are in it. (79:27) • If you want to make God laugh, tell Him what your plan is. (90:24) • [Marcus] Bro, when you saw that son of a bitch's face [Osama Bin Laden], what was the first thing you saw? [Rob O'Neal] I saw his nose. He was skinny, wearing white – tall. (93:41) • My nickname was “Nisro” (Navy SEAL Rob O'Neal). When they asked “Who got him?” They go “Nisro,” and they said “Fuck! Were never gonna hear the end of it.” (95:38) Socials: - IG: mchooyah - Host of The Operator Podcast - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13 - https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors: - Navyfederal.org - GoodRX.com/TNQ - kalshi.com/TNQ - PXG.com/TNQ - joinbilt.com/TNQ - Tonal.com [TNQ] - greenlight.com/TNQ - PDSDebt.com/TNQ - drinkAG1.com/TNQ - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ] - Shadyrays.com [TNQ] - qualialife.com/TNQ [TNQ] - Hims.com/TNQ - Shopify.com/TNQ - Aura.com/TNQ - Moink.com/TNQ - Policygenius.com - TAKELEAN.com [TNQ] - usejoymode.com [TNQ] - Shhtape.com [TNQ] - mackweldon.com/utm_source=streaming&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=podcastlaunch&utm_content=TNQutm_term=TNQ

I never thought I would quit, but I didn't know if I would make it. I asked the Lord, “If you want me to do this, show me a sign.” And He did. I saw a Trident up in the sky. (18:12) • I wanted to go to SEAL team 4 because of watching all the Vietnam documentaries. (27:06) • They were passing out a paper and everybody had to write down why you joined, and I wrote “Patriotism.” (31:20) • I'll tell you somebody else that doesn't get recognition – divers. (38:49) • I was wanting to go to Afghanistan more so than Iraq just because I was never really interested in the urban-style of combat. (38:49) • Team 10 was really cool. (41:06) • [Danny Dietz] was a good guy from the start. When I first showed up, he always went around without a shirt. He was ripped like Bruce Lee. (43:09) • [Danny Dietz] was always trying to mentor, no matter who they were. • [Melanie] Q: How many people in a bee hut? A: 6 maximum. They were like mini chicken coops. (46:06) • I hated wearing body armor. (48:59) • Excerpt from Ben's “Green Book:” I'm tired of all this so-called professionalism crap. I can't wait to get out – be my own man instead of a peasant in the military. (59:31) • How were we that close to one another when we were only there a couple of months? Just sitting around the fire talking.

From Navy SEAL to Humanitarian: Ephraim Mattos on Courage, Sacrifice, and Saving Lives in War Zones. In this powerful episode, Marcus and Melanie meet with Ephraim Mattos, a former US Navy SEAL and founder of Stronghold Rescue & Relief. After leaving the SEAL teams in 2017 at the age of 24, Ephraim made a bold decision: instead of returning home, he volunteered on the front lines of the war against ISIS in Mosul, Iraq. His experiences there would change him forever. Ephraim shares harrowing details from his time with the Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian group that provides aid to civilians in war zones. He recounts the unimaginable horrors he witnessed, from civilians fleeing the brutality of ISIS to the daring rescue missions he and his team conducted under constant enemy fire. One of these missions, during which Ephraim was shot while rescuing a young Iraqi girl, exemplifies the courage and sacrifice required to save lives in the most dangerous places on Earth. We dive deep into Ephraim's personal journey, chronicled in his book City of Death: Humanitarian Warriors in the Battle of Mosul, coauthored with American Sniper writer Scott McEwen. The conversation explores what it's like to face death on a daily basis and how Ephraim and his fellow volunteers embodied the credo: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." In this episode, Ephraim reflects on the emotional and physical scars of war, his recovery from his gunshot wound, and his unwavering commitment to helping those in need, even in the most perilous conditions. His stories of bravery, resilience, and humanity will leave you speechless. In This Episode You Will Hear: • Probably the biggest thing I learned in training that applies to everyday life is when things go really, really bad, one of the best ways of dealing with it, and actually pushing through is to laugh at it. (1:29) • I had my finger on the trigger. I had pressure on the trigger, just waiting for them to come out so I could get a body shot, and 2 heads pop out. It turns out it's two little girls. One was maybe ten; the other may five or six. They were weeping, crying, and they were running straight at me. And they were both wearing backpacks just like the backpacks that are just like the backpacks we just blew up an hour earlier. And they're running straight at me. (25:22) • I was in a firefight in Iraq, technically before my last day in the Navy. (29:19) • [The Iraqi army] They weren't super organized , or marksmanship, but as far as their courage and willingness to go toe to toe with ISIS, and I watched multiple time – an Iraqi tank would drive up, get blown up by an ISIS car bomb. And they would keep going. (31:25) • We assist every way we can, and we build relationships, by showing them we care, we're here to help, we're not crazy, we're not her to get in a gunfight. We just want to help you. (33:43) • We provide frontline mentorship for active security threats. If a tribe is facing genocide, we'll advise them on how to best use the resources they already have. (34:09) • There's a certain level of evil that people just don't see or understand. They don't understand a military unit would go into a village and just slaughter everybody. (36:06) • For people who actually care, what do you do? How do you help? (42:48) • If you care about what's going on in these conflicts, find multiple organizations that you like and give a little bit so several of them. You can make an impact, without having to take all the risk. (43:50) • 99.9 percent of our job is logistics, medical care, training medical care, suffering in the jungle. Yes, you're armed, but you're not there to get your rocks off. (48:11) • We bring in primarily guys with medic training. We don't bring in full-fledged doctors because the kind of stuff we're dealing with is emergency care – people stepping on land mines or getting shot. (50:38) • A couple of American missionaries were killed in Haiti. Stuff like that happens all the time. Nobody hears about it. It gets instantly buried under celebrity gossip and such.

(6:35) • I just called [my biological mother] and she says “I've been waiting for your call.” (9:30) • I always wanted that connection of “Hey, she does that, and I do that.” (10:31) • The question comes up: “Who's my biological father?” And she just got up and walked out. (11:34) • If abortion was available in 1972, I probably wouldn't be sitting here today. (12:30) • I had to come to grips with the fact that I was whisked into this world by violence, and then thrown away like trash. (14:03) • I had to go back to my faith because I had stumbled away from it.(14:10) • The more I started reading scripture, the more it started pointing to my life. (14:24) • Controversy is horrible around the baby boxes. (19:23) • We launched the very first baby box in April; 30 days later our son was in a deadly accident. (20:26) • [Melanie] The thought of putting a baby in a box is crazy; but the box of putting a baby in a dumpster is crazier.
