Ep. 23 • LIVE at McP’s Part 1 | Legends & Wild Stories from the West Coast SEAL Reunion

This week the Liberty Risk crew takes the show on the road! With the West Coast SEAL Reunion in town, we set up shop next to the iconic Teamguy bar McP’s Irish Pub on Coronado and pulled some legends into our make shift studio (thank you, URT!) for a rotating lineup of unfiltered, shotgun-style conversations and old school stories.

We had an incredibly fun and laughter filled evening and we're excited to share it with you: you'll hear from retired Navy SEAL Master Chiefs and Commanders, Army veterans, and local legends, all swapping raw stories about combat, command, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from pushing the edge and barely making it out alive. From Vietnam and Korea to San Diego’s wild bar scene in the ’80s, you’ll hear firsthand accounts of missions gone sideways, lessons on leadership, and the balance between hard discipline and harder living.

We dive into the origins of SEAL Team 5’s unique culture, the evolution of Coronado nightlife, and some legendary bouncer and bar fight stories that can only be told here. Along the way, we highlight the mission of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and its impact on the families of fallen heroes.

If you’re here for Navy SEAL podcast stories, veteran insights, or just want to hear real talk from old school legends, this one delivers. Subscribe now and join the Liberty Risk crew for a live session that blends history, humor, and the heart of the special operations community.
