1:28All new Line of Fire. The thrilling new crime drama. The world sees us as heroes, but they don't know what the job really costs. One family of federal agents. It's one thing to put yourself in danger. It's different when it's your family balances duty to their country. An assassin is still out there and each other. How do you protect the world and the people you love at the same time? Every case hits home on line of fire Monday on NBC. Nobody even knows this firearm exists yet, except for me and the company that made it. This will be the first video ever in the world that features that firearm.

2:04And I can't wait to tell you about it. Take a guess what's with me. The phone. First Rolex was a black Submariner. Had a crazy night in Miami, hanging out with s**ks. This was a long time ago. I was a different person. It's also a tour knife. Love this thing. Been carrying it for quite a while. It's opened a lot of Amazon boxes. Tons of them. This is probably what everybody's been waiting for. Saved it for the very end. This right here is my new Everyday Carry.

2:36All right, guys, it's Everyday Carry time. So this might be the last Everyday Carry video I ever do. I think the last one I did was right around sometime in 2024. And surprisingly, not a whole lot has changed. When I find something that I like that works, I stick with it. And I don't generally change it unless something better comes out. Some of these things are advertisers of mine. Some of them aren't. Some of them are products that friends have given me that I really like. It doesn't really matter. I'm not gonna tell you which ones are which because I genuinely use every single product that I'm about to show you.

3:18And I also actually added some sentimental ones that have been with me through my SEAL career, maybe through my CA career that I still use today. But there has been one major change. I have switched my firearm. And the cool thing is, nobody even knows this firearm exists yet, except for me and the company that made it. So when I get to that portion, this will be the first video ever in the world that features that firearm. And I can't wait to tell you about it. But first, let's get into some stuff that I use every single day the most. And some of that has changed because of the way my business has evolved.

4:05So the thing that I use the most, just like you and everybody you know, unfortunately, is this damn phone. Goes with me everywhere. Literally everywhere. I take a shit. Guess what's with me? The phone. That's right. Let me start this off with a story. So I was trying to spice things up in the bedroom. So I started researching all these different erotic toys on the internet, like trying to find a way to spice it up in the bedroom on these storefronts. And, you know, there's some interesting shit in there, some real interesting stuff. So I started looking at these things. Some of them you strap on.

4:54Some of them are little massagers. Some of them taste good. Some of them don't taste good. Some of them you think, how the hell am I going to get that thing on? Some of them you're like, I don't see how that's going to feel good, but okay. So anyways, I'm looking at all this stuff. and I settle on this thing. It's called the dolphin. You put it somewhere. I'm not going to tell you where you put it. You figure it out. Go online and figure it out for yourself. So anyways, I spend like all this time researching, looking at all the different models. What's the perfect one? What's the one my wife's going to like?

5:40And I get it. We test it out. So we like it. It works for both of us. It's great. I'm telling you, you should get online. They got another one. It's called the Beaver. And very similar. I haven't tried that one yet. Maybe you guys can try it. Leave it in the comments section if you like it. So anyways, a couple weeks after I get this new magical erotic toy, we rarely come out of the bedroom now, my in-laws decide they want to come over. and I'm having a tea and my mother-in-law comes in. She's making a coffee. It's early in the morning. Nobody wants to hang out with their mother-in-law first thing in the morning.

6:21And she starts randomly talking about this thing called the dolphin. I about spit my tea out and I'm like, the dolphin? Like, what dolphin? And I started getting like super paranoid in my head. I'm like, oh shit, did I leave this thing? Like, did we leave it on the couch? I thought we cleaned everything out of the guest room the last time we were in there. What else was in there? So she just keeps going on about this thing called the dolphin, but she's not getting like very descriptive. And then about, I don't know, 20, 30 minutes later, my wife comes out and my mother-in-law is still like talking about dolphins and the dolphin very vaguely almost like she's dropping a hint like i know what you're doing my daughter and i'm like and my wife's looking at me like did you you know like giving me the death look and then my father-in-law comes out and he looks pissed off normally he's pretty happy in the morning but he starts going on about the dolphin and then he brings up this thing called the beaver and i'm like oh shit like what what what's the deal and i i broke down out of my own paranoia and basically fessed up and said that i purchased this thing called the dolphin and they look at me and they're just saying, we have been getting these advertisements on our phones nonstop about this thing called the dolphin.

8:04And so anyways, this leads me, so this is humiliating. Now I'm caught red-handed with the dolphin and what we've been doing all over the house. And so, yeah, thank you data brokers and things getting sucked out of my applications and spying on me. So anyways, I made this app called Glacier. The Glacier app keeps all that data from being sucked out of your phone and advertised to everybody that's on your network everywhere they go. Now you can privately research erotic toys without your in-laws waking up in the morning and accusing you of using them. You're welcome. And it's available on Android now for anybody that wants to download the Glacier app.

8:54Moving on. Do you want to see the dolphin? I'll bet you do. All right. Let's move on to some other stuff that I think, you know, I told you I got some kind of sentimental type stuff that I want to kind of work in here. So here's one. I think some of you guys have seen this on the show. This is a with your shield or on it patch. This is a saying that the Spartans used to say before they went to battle. Or the wives used to tell their husbands, come home with your shield or on it. Basically saying, don't be a pussy. Give it your best. Fight it out. This is my wife's one-year sobriety coin. She gave this to me when I hit my first year without booze.

9:46Now it's been about four and a half years. And so I keep this on my bedside table or actually my nightstand thing and look at it every single day. Gives me motivation. This, a lot of you guys have seen me wear these. I haven't worn one in a while. You see a lot of veterans wearing these, these black bracelets. What these are is a tribute to the fallen. Military veterans, military, active military that were killed in action. This one right here is from Ty Woods and Glenn Doherty who were killed in Benghazi. It's a memorial bracelet. So if you ever see a veteran wearing one of these, that's what it is.

10:32Very sentimental. I don't know. This beautiful piece of jewelry, which is not for sale, was made by my son in preschool. Also keep that on my nightstand. I look at it every day. I think it's just cool as shit, man. Those of you that have kids, you get it. this microphone jack. It's in the studio all the time in a card. So another little story for you. So this microphone jack is from an audio engineer that works for me. First audio engineer ever at the Sean Ryan show. And you know, I started off in the attic. It was me and my wife. Episode five, I decided I needed an audio engineer because my audio sucked.

11:22And if you don't believe me, you can go back and listen to those episodes and you'll see how bad it used to be. Used to pay him like 200 bucks an episode, whopping$200 an episode to fix all my audio issues. And since then, we've gone to another studio and then we built a studio that you see today. And so right before we moved in there, that audio engineer who went from making$200 an episode, now runs my entire company. He is my chief operating officer, and he kills it. And he sent me this, put it in a note and a card, and said that this, how it was talking about how far we've come, and he cut the cord, put it in there, and said this is what I was listening through to episode five when I very first started for you.

12:18So I don't know. I'm sentimental. I think it's cool to have these things. Moving on. Let's go from the feet to the head and everything in the pockets. All right. So I wear Cole Hawn shoes. Are they the coolest? No, but I'm getting old. My back hurts. I need more support. They're kind of cool. They're like cool old man shoes. I wear La Bamba socks. I wear Tom Ford jeans. I still wear the same Bianchi belt that I've been wearing since I was in the SEAL teams. We'll throw a little picture up just to prove it. Been wearing this thing for like 20-something years. Hasn't changed. I've been through a lot of them, but not that many.

12:59So these things are super sturdy. They're great for a gun belt. And maybe they don't look the coolest, but I think they look pretty damn cool. I wear a Robert Barrakeet white or black shirt every single day. It's white or black. That's the only decision that I make. I have like 20 pairs of the same jeans. 20 white shirts, 20 black shirts. And that's the only decision I'm pretty much making every morning is if I'm going to go white or black. Cover shirt. I don't even know how to say this brand. Isaiah, SIA, I don't know. But pretty much every cover shirt that I'm wearing in the episode is from this brand.

13:39This one right here. It's got a red tag like that. I think it looks cool. Love this stuff. And then, SRS hat. Company only for, what, two years now? Two years now? We get a lot of requests. Hey, can I get one of those SRS caps? No, it's company only. But now we have company only jackets. So, I don't know, maybe head on over to the website. You might find these for sale. I don't know. Doesn't mean you're getting a job, but you might be able to purchase one. Maybe. I don't know. You can go check it out. Watch. You guys already know this. So, that is the Rolex Black GMT. They don't make them anymore.

14:33And believe it or not, they actually do go up in value. This was my second Rolex. Another funny story for you. First Rolex was a black Submariner. Had a crazy night in Miami, hanging out with strippers. It happens. This was a long time ago. I was a different person. We had a lot of fun. And then I passed out in the bushes out front and woke up with no keys, no wallet, no watch. I'm sure that person is just borrowing it. So if you do, this was like, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago. If you do still happen to have that watch and you want to return it, you can find the P.O. box on the website. And since, so this watch is really cool, man.

15:19I have some other watches, but this watch has been to Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Taiwan, Dubai. Everywhere I've gone, I wear this watch. And so I originally got the Rolex because everybody in the world knows what a Rolex is. And you guys know what I used to do at CIA when I contracted for CIA. And so there was a lot of situations where I may need to get out of there fast, where I'm not necessarily going to use my piece, my firearm. I want to get out of there quietly. And so take this, flip it to somebody that has a piece of shit, Toyota Corolla, or a moped or whatever.

16:09And it's a peaceful way to be like, hey, here's$10 ,000. Give me that damn car because I need it and I need it now. And so I started wearing that. You know, it's always on your wrist, easy to get rid of. And obviously I never had to do it because I still have the same time piece. And so huge sentimental value to me now. Maybe one day, not maybe, one day it'll be passed down to my son or my daughter. I don't know which one. Since then, I started getting into watches, but I always go back to this one. This is the white gold Submariner. Basically, I got it because I wanted to make two kind of heirloom pieces that have a story behind it because I think about these things.

17:02Am I going to give that to my son or my daughter? I don't know. So I need to. So I need to make memories of that one. So I've worn this one a lot on the show when I interview one of a kind amazing people. So they both have stories. You can see me wearing both these on the show. This is one that I always wanted. And when I started my contracting career, I started working at Blackwater. Many of you guys have heard of it. So Blackwater, they made everybody in the executive team one of these Breitling emergencies. So basically what this is, it's a really cool timepiece, is you unscrew this, you pull the pin, there's an antenna, yank the antenna out, it sends out a distress signal, and somebody, no matter where you are in the world, is coming to get you.

17:46Then they stopped making them because the military bought the frequency back or something. and then they started making them again and actually I went to go and possibly get a new one recently and they told me that they quit making them because so many people were pulling the pins by accident and I asked well does that make this does that make this thing not even functional anymore and they couldn't actually answer the question so I know a lot of people think that's cool a lot of people are going to want one unfortunately I don't know of any other time piece that's of this type of caliber, this Rolex Breitling caliber that does it anymore.

18:28So I am going to give you an alternative. And I think the name of this company is ACR. But anyways, something cool to have in your bull bag, especially, you know, if you're somebody like I used to be or whatever, snow skiing, hiking, get attacked by a bear, car wreck, basically take this thing off, pull this antenna out, whips around, sends out a distress signal. So there you go. I like giving options. There's an option. Not as cool as the Breitling, but guess what? I don't think the Breitling works anymore. So although it still will send out a distress signal, but I don't know if anybody's coming to get you.

19:04So anyways, timepieces. Okay. All right. What else is in the pockets here? All right. We got, are you ready for this? A rosary. So a lot of you have probably heard, You know, I'm in somewhat of a spiritual battle now. But anyways, this one was given to me. I've had a rosary in my pocket, man, every day for years now. This is the second one that I've been wearing. If you remember, I had Father Rehill on my show maybe two, maybe three years ago now. I don't know. But he gave me this rosary. This is from he got this in a town called Mujigori, I think is in Bosnia, where the Virgin Mary shows up, I think, every day and kind of conducts miracles.

20:03And we're actually thinking about maybe doing an episode out there and capturing some stuff. But anyways, so he's blessed this. I carry it every day in my left pocket, have been for ever since he came on the show. Now, before he came on the show, I used to carry one of these ones. And I think I started giving them out on the show is spiritual protection. So this one, this is called the Warrior's Rosary. And this is, you can get these from my friend Dom Razo. I think his website is crusheverything.com. But this is what I used to carry in my pocket. I gave one to Christian Craighead. I gave one to Jim Caviezel.

20:49I've given one to a ton of people. And I gave one to my dad. I give them to a lot of people that I really care about. And a lot of those people are on the Sean Ryan Show, too. And so, anyways, Dom gave me one of these a long time ago, and I've been giving them out on the show for years. Like I said, it's called the Warrior's Rosary. come in this nice leather case that actually smells amazing. The entire team thinks that. But yeah, I don't know. If you're into spiritual protection, get a rosary and carry it in your pocket everywhere you go. Sleep with it, wear it around your neck. I don't know, but I feel protected when I have it on me.

21:32And sometimes when I get nervous, I just put my hand in my pocket and hold on to it tightly. But cool. So spiritual protection, rosaries. Next. What do we got back here? My wallet. Leather wallet. This one is, I don't even see a name. Anyways, I like a small wallet. Holds just a couple credit cards. One thing that I always advise people, Keep cash on you. I don't know. Keep a couple hundred bucks on me at all times. Never know what kind of situation you're going to get out of or into with a couple hundred bucks in your wallet. Goes a long ways. Maybe you don't like standing in lines. Could help you not have to stand in line.

22:23Anyways, especially, you know, I started doing that overseas. I always look for things that can get me in or out of a situation in a moment's notice. The Rolex, cash. One thing I didn't talk about on my phone is a Bitcoin wallet. Just things of value that everybody knows are of value that you can immediately pass off and trade to get yourself out of a situation, to get yourself a car, to get whatever it is, to get people to shut up, get people to hide you. whatever it is you need if you don't have anything to trade then uh you're pretty much screwed so there's that what else oh here's a new addition

23:14eyeglasses started wearing eyeglasses it's fun getting old isn't it Why do you know what I'm talking about? So eyeglasses, these ones are Rokas. Super comfortable, super light. Half the time, you forget you're even wearing the damn things. So love this brand. Here's another sentimental thing. My favorite pair of sunglasses I've ever bought. These are Cutler and Gras. These are about, I don't know, 15, 20 years old. There's a painting of me buying cot in Yemen, and I'm wearing these shades. Wore these all over the world. I don't know. I just think they look cool. They're kind of one of a kind. They don't make them anymore.

24:00They're designer glasses. I don't know. Still the same pair I was wearing back then. I'll probably never get rid of them, but a lot of you guys probably know the painting I'm talking about. Then, when I don't feel like wearing those, once again, the Rokas. They make sunglasses, too. Once again, super comfortable, pretty stylish.

24:29I get asked about my shades all the time. There they are. Cool. All right. let's get into some weapons

24:50all right I travel a lot a lot of you guys probably know what this was these like hell if you get jacked with one of these brass knuckles These are from my friend Eddie Gallagher. It has FAFO engraved on the knuckles. I'm sure you can figure out what that means. But anyways, I don't even know if he still sells these things, but I wouldn't put it past Eddie if he is. He's a badass. Anyways, yeah, we go a lot of places where you can't really check a knife. You can't really check, you know, some states we go. You can't check a gun. And so these make a great belt buckle, not a weapon, a belt buckle.

25:39So anyways, brass knuckles. Cool. Blades. It's one of my favorites. Whoa, bet you haven't seen one of these since 1985, right? Yeah, the OG switchblades. So, you know, you press this, it goes in. Everybody's seen movies where they get jacked with a switchblade. This is like the OG. Now they have all these cool ones, right, that all these other companies are coming out. But this is the OG one. I got to be honest, I don't even know the name of the company. This was given to me by a good friend that used to work here. And now he's moved on to bigger and better things. But anyways, you have to Google around.

26:25Find it yourself. So what else do we got? Fixed blades, right? So here's a couple of fixed blades. This one is cool. I don't really carry this, but it's kind of sentimental. It's like the first cool gift that my father-in-law ever gave me. I'll probably never get another one after he found out about the dolphin. Or maybe he'll use it on me. I don't know. But this is Randall Made. Cool blade. A little more practical. This one is one that you would actually carry on you. This is a tour knife. And Travis Haley actually gave this to me when he came on the show. And I don't know how many know who Travis Haley is.

27:10Probably all of you if you're watching an everyday carry video. But Travis does not settle for anything less than the best. If he vouches for this and gave it to me, I know it's a damn good piece of equipment. So, this, like I said, Tour knives. It's one fixed blade. I like to give options. So, I gave you two fixed blades here. Randall, Tour, my friend Dom Razo makes some awesome blades. In fact, this is a G10 blade. So, not metal. Dom also doesn't settle for anything less than the best. Crusheverything.com, his company is Dynamis. Dom made these. I don't know when he started making them, but he just sent me one not long ago.

27:56There's a couple companies that do this, but there are very few people in the business that I trust more than Dom or Travis Haley. And so fixed blades. But usually the blade that I carry is some type of a folder. So believe it or not, it's also a tour knife. Love this thing. Been carrying it for quite a while. It's opened a lot of Amazon boxes. Shit tons of them. I'm sure you guys have been in fights with Amazon boxes too. Tour Knives. And Travis Haley gave me this one too. Bad ass blade. It's sharp as shit. I love this damn thing. Tour Knives. Dynamis Alliance. The 1985 movies Switchblade.

29:18Randall made.

29:27cool so all right what do we got here well let's start with bibles everywhere i go we do a lot of traveling um i bring a bible with me these two are kind of sentimental i don't bring these two with me because i'm scared to death that i'm going to lose them uh but christian craighead my friend christian craighead uh many of you know who he is by now obi-wan nairobi we just had him on the podcast and uh got his first hand account of what that entire event was like and uh anyways he gave me this his very first time on the show and i've had it ever since this one uh is really cool. This is from my friend Josh Howerton, pastor in Texas, and this was given out to troops in World War II.

30:21They put it in their breast pocket like this and stops a bullet. So very cool. These are super rare, given to me by a good, really good friend of mine. And while I don't take these two because I don't want to lose them, probably the heirloom items, I do take a Bible every single place I go. This, the Jesus Calling book.
