Glad you liked the bow and arrows Jack! Can't wait to see what's coming next!
That's a really cool piece of work you did there , sir. Very thoughtful and so cool you did the research. Props to you for that.
@@spookytoaster2770 thank you greatly appreciated 🙏
That arrow is awesome! Well done!
@@timtate35 thank you!
Beautiful work!
What did you use for the fletching?
Chris Pratt is definitely the most authentic, humble, and genuinely likable movie star/celebrities of all time. Such a down to earth guy. I love it.
Whoa, chico! Total Gym Walker, Chuck Norris, Ranger will always be numero uno.
He Had Me At Meat Tornado!
You just described Gabby Hayes.
@@garrettsasser4565 Ya right! Clint Eastwood is ALWAYS number 1

Thing is there are now Alternative platforms for entertainment/news/etc. This is both a Positive & Negative (like so many things) On the positive side we can watch What we Want. When We Want It. It was not that long ago when this was not true. On the negative side, it is getting harder and harder to find things in The Culture that unites us, as one society/culture.
Its All that little Silicon Chip. Its changing Everything. Its The Printing Press..On Steroids.
I met Chris briefly whilst working on Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom playing a mercenary. He was such a fun guy to work with and put me at ease. Awesome genuine guy and so great to see him as James Reece.
So great that you got to meet him. He’s an icon.
If Chris Pratt is half the guy that he seems, then he's twice the man than many of us. What a great interview.
Pratt unknowingly discloses that he's the real deal with what he said about the Special Olympics and specifically the part about being "in service to others".
Both of these guys are absolutely amazing.
I've been waiting for this podcast. Chris Pratt really brought James Reece to life. "Terminal List" is the best TV entertainment I had in many, many years.
The show was amazing. I can't stress enough how good Chris Pratt was either. He portrayed the body movement, composure and personality of a Special Forces operator so well.
That level of realism and authenticity in the show absolutely floored me while still having the acting and dramatic character traits. It is as close to a perfect show as I can think of. The level of appreciation I have for Chris, Jack, and Jared from this show is unbelievable…
Realism and authenticity? So you actually think a Seal can do all that stuff? Dude. 8 Taliban jabronis annihilated Marcus Luttrell's Seal Team. Hollywood lied and said it was 200 lol.
As a veteran he did a good job. I think he set the standard for roles like this in the future. He's the bar now. If someone isn't at least close to as good as him it won't work. Taylor Klitsch was also fantastic.
I can't say how much I enjoyed The Terminal List show and I just ordered the book over the wknd. The show was unbelievably great. It was awesome to get something different than the normal dog and pony show. Only something like this could be written by a legit badass.
Great job writing and great job acting! 👏
Edit: Suzuki Samurai's are the shit!!!
Probably Chris' best interview, I really loved the detailed story of how he got into Hollywood. 👍
Two of the best men you will ever see right here in this interview. Can hardly wait to see more from the both of you.
Chris - if you see this!! Coming from a little old lady close to your mother's age, and a fellow Seattleite, I just want to say that your opening dance scene in GOT1 was my favorite scene in the whole movie. You did NOT "blow it", you nailed it! I have two nieces that live in Lake Stevens and have actually seen you there a couple of times. I'm way down by Lake Tapps but it makes me wanna hang out in Lake Stevens just for the chance to run into you, shake your hand and thank you for your work and for being what just appears to be a genuinely nice guy. Lol don't worry, I won't. God bless you, dude.
I didn't think it was possible for me to have more respect for Chris Pratt, but damn this podcast did it....
I have listened to the books repeatedly over the last month while working. I love the complexity of the plot, the realism of the authors experience being transferred through James Reese. This series has opened my eyes to real world history I wouldn't have know about other wise. Case in point, the Selous Scouts. Operation Eland, Operation Dingo, etc.... amazing time in the special operations history, indeed. Thank you for these works, Jack Carr. Please continue the amazing work you do through TV and novels.
I love the show and have always been a fan of Chris Pratt and I’m so happy for him to be involved in this series and can’t wait for more. As a Alaskan myself I love Chris I always forget he use to live here
Wow i knew Chris was a great actor but what a cool super normal dude. Would love to sit around a campfire with a cigar and a bourbon with both of these gentlemen. Great interview Jack!
So glad you got him on the show. Pratt knocked it out of the park and I can’t wait to see Season 2 and onward
Chris is awesome. What a genuine dude.
Carr my man all the way from the UK first watched you doing an edc pocket dump. Nobody ever comes across as being an absolute good guy. Your a damn good guy and a very talented man. People have an idea that army dudes are one thing you break the mold. I have the upmost respect for you doing something you are absolutely brilliant at. Keep it up you show everyone that soldiers are not just a number
Jack. Ok. The Terminal List show was so amazing! Today my son and I finished "Savage Son" on audio and are on to "The Devil's Hand" now on our morning drives. My guys group on Discord ( 5 high school buddies ) are all watching, reading, or listening to you as well now thanks to my pestering! In my videos, if I'm wearing headphones, I'm listening to Jack Carr! Thanks for your service dude, your love of Toyota trucks, and most of all your awesome and manly books! Cheers dude.
The books really do keep getting better and better. I've listened to the first 3, listening to The Devil's Hand and can't wait to start In The Blood....great series and if season 2 holds true to the book it will be incredible!
My grandfather passed away last week on September 22. He was 17 when he was in WWII. He would have been 95 this November.
🇺🇲
at my own get-away place and just binge watched Terminal List (2 episodes a night). Chris has made a lot of entertaining movies, but in this series he just seems to have stepped into an entirely different league. But so many great actors and actresses right there with him (and loved that cameo). Every evening just left me feeling stunned - the story, the action, the performances, the emotions it evokes, the realism - just wow!
The rest of the industry needs to pay attention, get its sh*t together, and get back to making high caliber material - the stuff they're making is just all spiraling down the swirly very rapidly
You two both really inspire me to kind of go for it and chase my dreams. Especially Jack as someone who left the military and pursued a new career. I left law enforcement and have written my first novel and am working on my second and after listening to these two talk, I really feel the strong desire to pursue literary agents to help publish my writing.
45 years in law enforcement. What’s the name of your book and yourself?
Do it! And congrats on finding a passion post-law enforcement career!
Good luck!
Read the book and have watched the series 3 times! Nobody but Chris could do this role! Awesome! Thanks! Season II PLEASE?
Chris pratt has transformed into a seal before our eyes. He really took his acting to another level on this one. He was in sync with his role.
Thank you Jack Carr for all these stories. You have a fan from Ghana. Respect to you for giving chris pratt the opportunity to unearth another aspect of himself. You unearthed an movie action hero. Your series is the most legit navy seals series i have seen.
Just wanted to say thank you for mentioning the greatest generation!! My Granddaddy was on the USS Wasp when it sunk in the Pacific during WWII. He floated for several hours before being picked up. There’s a picture of sailors floating with the Wasp burning in the background and he said he was one of them in the left corner of the photo. He was also shot in the neck by a German plane after jumping on an anti aircraft gun that wasn’t even his job. He shattered his ankle during that fight as well. He also survived the Coconut Grove fire in Boston by jumping out of a second story window and completely destroying his ankle again. He lost friends and an officer in the fire. He was a bad ass and my hero. He died in 2010 at 90 from an infection he got in the hospital. I’m gonna be 31 in October and my biggest fear is that these younger generations won’t know the sacrifices these amazing guys gave. With history trying to be erased thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping their legacy alive. We have his diary from when he was on the ship and logged everywhere they went. I wish I could find out more but unfortunately I was the only one he ever really talked to and I was to young to remember much. Also never understood why he didn’t get a Purple Heart either. He had a scar on both sides of his cheeks from where shrapnel went through and through when the torpedo hit. As well as a big scar (obviously lol) from being shot in the neck. Love the show. We’ve watched it 3 times through now and can’t wait for more. God bless you and your family 🇺🇸
Jack, my husband and I love your books. He has listened to them all at least three times through on audible and gets the newest one as soon as it is available. I can't wait to see what the prime series has in store. Chris Pratt was the only choice for James Reece. I couldn't imagine anyone else in that roll.
Watching The Terminal List gave me a whole new respect for Chris Pratt as an actor who obviously has an incredible range. Also, subsequently read all of the books, and can hardly wait for the next book, and season 2.
Sort of unrelated but i had the pleasure to meet Chris Pratt when i was working security. When i approached this red raptor(kind of funny when my coworker mentioned it after considering one of the Jurassic Park movies he is in was just released) he was driving to ask for their pass to enter the dock i walked up and said something stupid like "you look really familiar" because i wasnt expecting him to show up to this particular event as they only said it was a unnamed "VIP"... he looked me in the eye and shook my hand and introduced himself.
Ive been around a lot of "stars" and most wouldnt give you the time of day or look your way. I sort of expected him to be annoyed that i was acting coy or something, but hes a real humble, respectful and nice guy.
"7 Great Uncles In WW2 And A M1 Garand". Chris would make a good Johnny.
What a transition from Andy in Parks and Rec to James Reece in Terminal List. Chris Pratt is awesome. Great range!!
The entire book series is awesome but specifically the next two books are absolute gold, so visceral and gritty. I honestly don’t even remember when one starts and the other ends because I read them so quickly back to back. I can’t wait to see an on screen adaptation. If I had one concern it’s how Katie and James’ on screen chemistry is going to play out over the rest of the series because it seems to have been played differently in the Terminal List. Their story adds so much humanity to the series I hope y’all make it work!
This was honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen. And probably some of the best acting i've ever seen in my life
Chris does an awesome job with James Reece - keep 'em coming guys!
Terminal list was the best thing I've seen ever... on a t.v. series! Kudos on the great job playing James Reece!
First off, Jack I love the books and I've been a Chris Pratt fan since Parks & Rec. Dig these videos because not only do I get some great insight, I'm also reminded of "The Chris Farley Show" skit on SNL. Jack: "Chris Pratt, remember when you played Andy? That was awesome." Keep up the great work guys!
I have watched the The Terminal List series on Amazon TWICE already! Needless to say I really enjoy it. Having read the first book months ago as well as completing Jack's 5th book , I do pray this series continues with Chris Pratt on Amazon. Love the progressive story telling, character development as well as the professionally done series. Happy with my tee shirt and coffee mug too! All the best JACK
Would love to see an episode with Taylor Kitsch with his experience on Lone Survivor. Another amazing Hollywood dude.
No matter what you think personally of these guys I recommend reading the books. Especially, if you’re into this genre. They are excellent and I can’t wait for the next James Reece adventure.
A cracking actor and he seems like a lovely fella.
The Terminal List was my favorite show I've seen in a long, long time. Can't wait to see True Believer adapted.
Just when I think I couldn’t be a bigger fan of Chris I watch this. Absolute legend, great watch & thanks for sharing.
The terminal list was really good. Really looking forward to Season 2. Appreciate it 🔥
Yeah excited for this one! Just finished Savage Son, on to the next one. Been hoping you'd have Chris on. Excellent books and excellent show, so glad he could help bring it to life
Chris Pratt as Andy Dwyer is hilarious, just watched the best of Andy Dwyer after hearing about it here.
“That’ll make me look like a douche” 😂 this guy is too humble
Good stuff. Chris seems like a pretty good guy with common sense, unlike most of the actors these days. I'll be honest that pretty much anything hollywood turns me off these days, but this was a very well done series.
Great and insightful conversation! Chris Pratt is such a genuine kind person! So happy everything worked out for him and for you in creating this show! Looking forward to season 2!!
Best Danger Close episode to date!!! What a treat! Thank you Jack!
I cannot wait for the next series the first was the best series on tv I’ve ever watched Chris absolutely crushed it but without your incredible writing Jack it never would of happened, well done man
Watched this series when it first released. It quickly became one of my favorite TV series of all time. I don’t watch too much TV shows these days either. I hope you guys get a season 2.
Chris made a good point when talking about all the people involved behind the scenes. This is like the military in that it takes a lot of support troops and units working in various capacities to keep the combat arms guys working. There is a LOT going on to make movies or military operations work well. Hey, Chris! Having been stationed at Fort Wainwright, AK I have to remind you of the joke we made in the interior. The nice thing about Anchorage is that it's only 15 minutes out of Alaska. 😉
Fantastic interview, thanks for him coming to the show!
Incredible show and awesome acting! Great attention to detail bringing a SEAL's fight to life! Hats off to bringing on such a show in these times.
Just love what both of you stand for. A true example of what MEN need to be in today's world. I just finished "In the Blood" and look forward to the next one. I couldn't wait for the show when you talked about it on Rogan and it did not disappoint. Thank you for all you do.
Oh that ending!!! Looking forward to it! Love the reading that Chris did. Cool that he knew what a mustang is!
Jack thanks for doing this interview. Terminal List was heavy, and intense, enjoyed every second of it. Chris was perfect for the “Reece” role. Extraordinary acting. I will watch Terminal List again to make sure I did not miss anything. Chris did Delta or SEAL operators train you? I watched your movements very carefully and could not detect any errors in weapons management.
Pratt just radiates good dude energy.
In a world where shit movies seem to be the norm, Guardians came out and became an instant classic. Absolutely one of my all time favorite movies; Chris Pratt is brilliant.
You nailed it: “inherently likable”!
Terrific interview!
Can't wait to see another season or show about James Reece!! I think ivr watched it 3 times already.
Been a reader since day one, could not be happier with the show you’ve made. Thank you! 10/10
Since terminal list, I am hooked to listen to navy seal stories! It’s so mind boggling that some men are going threw hell and don’t lose their shit, although the path of becoming a seal looks impossible! Just love the show and book!
Loved the series, so much so I have watched it 6 times through and probably gonna get through it a couple more times. Fingers crossed for continued sequels to take in all the books. Also, could we possibly see Chris Pratt as Sam Fisher? Please! Splinter Cell would make an outstanding series! Just saying! I am sure Chris is super busy, but think about it :) Thank you Jack for the excellent book series and thank you Chris for bringing James Reece. You guys rock!
Great listen Jack!!! After seeing Terminal List i got the audio book of True Believer, after hearing it I was so excited to talk to my neighbor who is South African Army retired! He had just gotten back from a safari/camping trip and was super exited to tell him about the book and all the passages on Tracking in the wild and the respect of the country, that weekend he took me hiking throughout the woods and showed me some tracking tips. It was so cool to transition from the book to experiencing .001% of the events just from hiking and picking up tips on animal tracking! Can’t wait to listen to the third book!!
Chris Pratt is perfect in the part. Big, strong, professional. Loved The Terminal List. Is there a season 2?
Love Pratt, you, the podcast and your guests! Cool podcast intro! 👌 Last but not least all your books and the Terminal list series. So good! All the best!
Haha forgot! YES it will continue🎉🍾
Thank you for taking the time to write such a great book that inspired this show , really awesome
Fantastic story, I have literally watched the Terminal List three times (the entire series). Keep them coming!
Wow. Pumped for season 2. Chris is so realistic and technical as a specs ops guy.
The Terminal List is a spectacular show. Just finished watching it. Looking forward to another season.
Great interview! Thanks for the blessing.
You can see now why Chris's passion as the character James Reece was so superbly performed: his love for his country and the realization of the reality of loss intimately felt even though he was thousands of miles away at the time 9/11 happened.
Had he not been commited to his desire to be an actor he might have by impulse, as many did, joined the military.
He really did produce Terminal List?! He did a really good job. Scenes in that series are award winning. Really!
So much to learn, so little time!
Great show Jack 😌
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for The Books, The TV Show, and for inspiring us to be better human beings. I salute you Sir! Semper Fidelis! (USMC 2005-2013)🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love the books! Great story! Like more info on your Henry Winkler tomahawk!
Unbelievably great interview. Thanks for this one!
@ Jack Carr I don’t know how you do it. So many truly incredible guests in a world of so few truly incredible guests....
Just so love this interview.
Awesome show, one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. It’s something you can rewatch over and over.
Great interview and great show.
Cannot wait!!! Love both these guys!!!
Love this! Such a great watch! Two amazing guys!
I just heard there’s a season 2. Just finished season 1. I had to watch in one day. Couldn’t wait for the next episode. But that efp scene was absolutely epic! I loved that entire episode. WE NEED MORE!
Thank you for sharing. Was looking for long and deep conversation.
Glad to see NFCU supporting you !! Just finished watching TTL series x2. Always picking up something new.
I've watched the series at least 10 X and love it! It's so well done all the way around. Acting, storyline, music, cinematography -EVERYTHING! Chris Pratt is AMAZING! I've always been a massive fan of similar stories and movies, and now I want them all redone with Chris Pratt as the protagonist. Jack Ryan, Tripple Frontier, Lone Survivor, and the like,
I love watching your podcasts Jack, Thank you for everything you do brother. I can't wait to see you.
This was awesome 👍🏻 thank you
Very interesting and fun 🙏
Just finished True Believer! Just ordered the 3rd book…can’t wait! A huge thank you to you and ALL involved! Please keep it up. Blessings 🤘🇺🇸🥃
That was ace. Thank you Jack & Chris.
Yes! Hyped for a season 2!
So much respect for you both! 🙏
I enjoyed the series. Looking forward to the next installment!
Started watching it this week and got hooked. Great job all around. Too bad Jack's acting career ended short. 😲🙄
Great show, love the books, can’t wait for season two
Can't wait for a season 2 and the next book. I am hooked for sure.
Hell yeah! Good pod Jack. Can’t wait for the next book and the 2nd season! Let’s go!
Great Show, great Actor, great Host . I`m looking forward for season 2.
Getting ready to start watching this series for the 3rd time!! Thank you Mr. Carr
Can't wait to get the book !
Outstanding Podcast, I thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Chris Pratt along with your first 4 books and The Terminal List Series! I just started “In the Blood”!! Keep up the great work, God Bless!
Enjoying the books. Wife is from nw Montana so know several of the locations in second book.
Great interview guys!
