Thanks for the good times in 2020. Here's to (hopefully) better times in 2021. Have a great week folks and Happy New Year!
I'm a fairly reserved Brit but it is hard not to find an intelligent, courageous, articulate and compassionate woman like Nikki very beguiling. Wish the world had many more Nikki's.
As a long time listener, and one of the minority women, it was great to hear her story again I first heard her on Mike Drop. Keep up the amazing content! Much support!!
That's funny. I follow & love Mike Ritland. MR is hilarious! Being a strong Asian woman, say it as is. No BS & No garbage! Nikki is amazing! She is so humble which made her even more beautiful!
The care I received during my MEDEVAC made me go into EMS when I retired. The amount of care and respect I received as a patient on a bird (rotary/fixed wing) was phenomenal and I love everyone of them
This interview with Retired Lieutenant Commander Selby was super interesting! What an incredible career she has had! I can't wait to see what she does next! Thank you for the video!
Thank you for bringing her on as a guest; a truly impressive woman who has lived an incredible life. As always, fantastic content and excellent discussion.
I am physically disabled and a veteran (not service connected) and I have a disease that slowly degrades your muscles. I know what's ahead for me and it aint pretty, but I choose to remain positive rather than negative. Sure I have my frustrating days when I just want to scream but it's more enjoyable to look for the fun in life. Family has a HUGE impact on your mental well being and in that regard I am truly blessed.
I did 4 months in the Balboa Oncology Ward in 1996 getting 38 shots of radiation for Hodgkins Lymphoma when I was a 20 year old Airmen. They took excellent care of me and made it possible for me to finish my 20 in the Air Force. Thanks to Nikki and every medical professional for what you do.
God bless you. That must of been harsh back then. I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma last year and after the 1st two treatments my pet scan showed no signs of cancer. Still had to finish the ABVD treatment for the next 5 months & minor radiation on a small part of my chest. I got the new "B" chemo medicine because they found out the old one was giving ppl lung cancers. Big shout out the ppl who got experimental trial chemo treatments in then past, I feel like I got cancer at the right time when all the ways to exterminate the one I have, have already been figured out. Super grateful.
@@KiwiAntz56 Bravo and good luck to you! The medical treatments for cancer have improved so much since I went through it and everyone I know who had Hodgkins has beaten it, so the odds are strongly in your favor. I volunteered for an experimental college protocol program to compare results of radiation only vice chemo and radiation. I won the coin toss and only had to do the radiation. Other than my hair falling out in the back like Wild Thing from Major League, some short term pulmonary effects later, and the radiation burning the hair and skin off my arm pits (which scored me a uniform waiver, so no complaints), I consider myself the luckiest of the lucky. The bone marrow biopsy was 1000x worse than the treatment! Stay strong, kick cancers ass, and be sure to thank your med pros for the work they do for us.
@@djdavies7556 Glad that you’re doing better. Thank you for taking part in that program. When I was diagnosed they told me not to worry because it is the most curable cancer now. My stage 4 wasn’t that bad considering I’m in my late 20s & in good shape. My anesthesiologist made sure they did the bone marrow biopsy while I was already alseep/under the knife for my lymph node biopsy luckily! Radiation has advanced a lot. The only side effect I had was a sunburn on my chest & back. My doc is confident my next pet scan will still show no signs of cancer. Thanks for sharing your story.
@@KiwiAntz56 Aw, you lucky bastard! I have a high tolerance for pain killers, so despite getting 4x the normal amount of lidocaine shots, I still felt everything. Nothing like feeling a giant ass needle punching through the back of your pelvis and striking the inside of the bone on the other side. I saw red, buried my fist elbow deep in the wall, and my doc jumped back. I look back in radical pain, covered in sweat, see and feel the blood running down my ass cheek, a big ass needle sticking out of my lower back, and my doc, a Navy Captain, is standing about six feet back, also covered in sweat and breathing heavily, eyes huge and he asks, "you good bro?" I couldn't help but laugh at the craziness as I laid there with my fist in the adjacent room, impaled face down on a medical bed, and a Navy O-6 scared shitless that I might leap off the bed and stab him with the needle sticking out of my ass. He was a great doctor and officer and we had a lot of fun laughs about it afterwards.
Who listens to the 2.5 hours of this podcast and then gives it a thumbs down?? No way they listened to the entire pod right? For the record @ Cleared Hot Podcast, it ROCKED per usually. Who would not enjoy listening to Nikki Selby, commies that is who :)
She’s a legit badass and a hero. And like Andy extremely humble. As a female hunter I enjoy hearing other women getting into hunting, I’d invite her hunting on our property but it’s in Florida and no sane person wants to come here. But we fill our freezer every year and yes we absolutely save so much money at the grocery store like Andy said, it’s nice to cruise right by the meat section.
Another great show . Playing catch up on your podcasts.. Andy first guy that gets GI bill to pay for knife building with a tennis instructor side line. Awesome Lady much Respect
In today's episode of cleared hot we watch Mr Andy Stumpf give himself the worst case of blue balls he's ever had. His reaction when he learned she skydives...hilarious. Awesome pod. Love this episode. What an awesome amazing person. Great story. Going to follow her now.
If you enlist 09S you go straight into being an officer after basic. There are options, giving advice on doing the research is super important. Also realizing the military changes daily is very important for prior service. Fact check the recruiter and your prior service friends helping you.
DAmn she was in the shit trying to save young men blown apart during the battle of sangin. Logan stark of brcc made a documentary about that, called, For the 25. We could all learn something from her and the shit she had to overcome. Solid human being, when pushed to the limit your true colors come out and she was the most expensive paint you can imagine.
So after listening to this convo - awesome as usual, Andy! - I went and typed "Nikki Selby" into Google and in the Google's recommended search results, the third one from the top was "Nikki Selby husband"... hmmm, I'm sure there is the queue, people, relax!
I appreciate you having another female on here! I am always trying to find podcasts that have go getter females, especially females that are/were in the military, and it is kind of hard so this was much appreciated😄
Was not a fan of ospreys. Fast roping out of them was something else too lol. Fast roping out of 46s or 53s you’re going straight down. Going out of ospreys, the rope flies out almost above a 45 degree angle out the back. First man out doesn’t even have his feet on the rope.
Excellent interview! Thank you for having the guts to speak openly about the low life liberal governors and mayors who destroyed countless businesses and lives as a result of their horrible lockdowns, while they are getting pay raises, and keep enjoying their lives as if nothing is happening! Also, loved your stories about deployments in some rat hole places. Would be great if more Americans had a chance to do the same to to appreciate all the great things America is offering!!
There is an undeniable chemistry between these two. I see a future of them together. To Nikki, you are not a nobody. You are a fantastic woman who had an awesome career of accomplishments during your time in the Navy. Thank you for your service.
Sheesh Andy i had the same Nerve Conduction study done on both elbows and my neck. They use either ceramic or porcelain needles with wires attached to them and poke and poke and poke away while listening to the awful sound the machine makes. That its the most painful and annoying test I've done to this day. Id rather get a root canal any day of the week over another one of those.
Black horse forge in VA does classes for VETS and LEO'S for blacksmithing. I know that's a hike for you coming from Montana but looks like an awesome place, I know there's other places that are accredited and accept the Chapter 33 GI Bill just haven't looked that much onto it. Learned that on Forged in fire actually lol Ben Abbot talked about it when they did the Judges challenge series
@ClearedHot, great job! Cool podcast and awesome to hear about that side of things from your guest! I didn’t realize you have drop foot. I have that as well and have had many a nerve conduction test. Do you wear a brace or anything for it? Has definitely changed the way I do things and I look quite hilarious running.
Had a similar situation with CC and Detailer coming off submarines wanting to go recruiting. I wanted recruiting and was told no and was headed to Groton to work on subs my whole shore duty. Long and short, I went recruiting 😉
If you're interested in learning more about bladesmithing, I highly recommend checking out the American Bladesmithing Society school in Arkansas. No idea if GI Bill will cover it but if you want to go from novice to proficient in the shortest amount of time, that's where I'd go.
Holy shit!! I'm 10 minutes into the actual interview & this "interview" has went 17 different directions & not one storyline has been finished entirely! I'm not sure if I should continue or just stop watching now..... Nikki has an amazing story & does very few interviews, yet I'm afraid I end this with a ton of unanswered questions / stories because not one single story is completed! 🤔 🤷♂️
*Here in China - the origin of this whole mess - the COVID-19 scare has ironically ended.* Social distancing ended ages ago, kids returned to school & people returned to work months back, and masks are only worn in big public areas (e.g. airports & train stations), if the store requires (Apple, yes; Starbucks, no), or if the person wants to (roughly 1/4 of elderly & people on the street do, the rest don't).
I’m gonna be 30 next year and have a bachelors degree... is it a no brainer to go the officer route or join enlisted? I always figured I would join enlisted and work my way up but since they mentioned it now I’m thinking I should go officer 100%
Not that my opinion matters since I don’t know you, but after 20 years enlisted, go officer. There is no money on our side of the house. While active or when leaving.
This chick has talked more about applying for different programs, application processes, and interviews than everyone who’s ever been on this podcast combined... feel like I’m actually listening to an interview for some loophole she’s found for the military’s retired podcast program lol
ANDY, that would have been great to get her on and Tiffany from Drinkin Broettes on... I believe they have some similar backgrounds and different in other areas.... just a thought...

I'm a fairly reserved Brit but it is hard not to find an intelligent, courageous, articulate and compassionate woman like Nikki very beguiling. Wish the world had many more Nikki's.
She’s a different breed. Ton of respect and a great podcast Andy
Super impressed with Nikki and her story...again Andy you step up to the plate and hit it out of the park with your guest choice.
There’s times in life when you realise how much people have given, Andy. She’s one of them. Respect to you both
As a long time listener, and one of the minority women, it was great to hear her story again I first heard her on Mike Drop. Keep up the amazing content! Much support!!

I wish i had a dollar for every time Andy pulls the "if our lives depended on me using a radar scope were both dead" i would be set for life
Literally read this as he said this word for word
I’ll do my best to not say it again
@@ClearedHotPodcast holy shit, andy responding too comments. Revolutionary
Please say it I laugh every time. So many friends say the exact thing from the military. If I had to use what I trained for we would all die.
@@ClearedHotPodcast Nooooo please dont stop😂 I laugh every time
This interview with Retired Lieutenant Commander Selby was super interesting! What an incredible career she has had! I can't wait to see what she does next! Thank you for the video!
Thank you for bringing her on as a guest; a truly impressive woman who has lived an incredible life. As always, fantastic content and excellent discussion.
One of my favorites so far. Great job by Andy and Nikki.
Saw her on Mike Drop. But you’re god damn right ima watch this woman again
Same and could not agree more, she is an AMAZING women! Very impressive and so humble
@@mikemarfell6943 Yessir. Preach!
Lt. Commander Selby- thank you for sharing your story/impressive military career.
I'm not sure how it is that I missed this, but I'm happy to stumble upon it. Nikki seems like a cool person. Thanks for this Andy!
Awesome show! It was really cool hearing about the medical side of the military as well as the retrospective on covid from the initial surge.
Just watched this. Great interview (as usual:) and very intelligent, brave and well spoken person to interview. Gutsy as hell, too!! Thank you!
I hope Ms. Selby writes a book. She has lived a very interesting life full of challenges and more people should hear her story. Very inspiring.
I am physically disabled and a veteran (not service connected) and I have a disease that slowly degrades your muscles.

I cannot believe anyone would hit the dislike button on this podcast. Trolls
Yet, another great interview! What a remarkable career Nikki. Thank you!
I like the way you guys have me remembering back to my Navy days. I thought electronics was boring back then and you remind me of that now.
Thank you for your service

Enjoyed her with Mike Ritland a few months ago. Thanks Andy and have a great 2021 ! Danny Hayes
Andy should have C.W. Lemoine on. Would be some great conversation!
Fighter pilot podcast (Vincent Aiello) is some great content too 👍 I like the way the pilots' brains work
I’ve thought that for a while now. Mover or Gonky would definitely be a great podcast.

Another great show . Playing catch up on your podcasts.. Andy first guy that gets GI bill to pay for knife building with a tennis instructor side line. Awesome Lady much Respect
Great podcast! Especially towards the end. I think we can use a step back and a deep breath. ✌
Great podcast like most other Cleared Hot episodes. How is the Cleared Hot podcast not drawing a lot more subscribers, views, likes, etc.? Well done.
this is awesome, been waiting for a medic one. You should try get a PJ sometime/Navy/Coastguard Rescue Swimmers
Awesome! What a terrific story.
In today's episode of cleared hot we watch Mr Andy Stumpf give himself the worst case of blue balls he's ever had.
His reaction when he learned she skydives...hilarious.
Awesome pod. Love this episode. What an awesome amazing person. Great story. Going to follow her now.
There is a benefit if you join the Guard your time starts the day you enlist! Go that route if you want to knock out time before training.
If you enlist 09S you go straight into being an officer after basic. There are options, giving advice on doing the research is super important. Also realizing the military changes daily is very important for prior service. Fact check the recruiter and your prior service friends helping you.

I deployed with her with 1st Med Bn. I was stationed at the STP at FOB Jackson in Sangin. We definitely saw a lot off casualties.
great session, she is a great guest...
"Here's a prescription for f write-off!" ROFL
I appreciate you having another female on here! I am always trying to find podcasts that have go getter females, especially females that are/were in the military, and it is kind of hard so this was much appreciated😄
Have you watched drinkin broettes? You may have to check the playlists for the podcast channel of Drinkin Bros to find it on youtube.
Mike Ritlands Podcast - Mike Drop he has some females on there too.

There is an undeniable chemistry between these two. I see a future of them together. To Nikki, you are not a nobody. You are a fantastic woman who had an awesome career of accomplishments during your time in the Navy. Thank you for your service.
Sheesh Andy i had the same Nerve Conduction study done on both elbows and my neck. They use either ceramic or porcelain needles with wires attached to them and poke and poke and poke away while listening to the awful sound the machine makes. That its the most painful and annoying test I've done to this day. Id rather get a root canal any day of the week over another one of those.
Man you have GOT to get her back on for an after action re covid. Fascinating.
As much as I enjoy hearing frogmen wax rhapsodic about multiple deployments, this is a nice change of pace. Good call.
Imagine almost being killed by a fan, saved by a surgeon, then almost killed by an emt all in an hour.
Andy please try to get Taya Kyle on the podcast. She would be a great guest.
Happy upcoming New Year!
At the end of this podcast Koolaid and Nikki absconded into the wilds, leaving a terrified, Andy sized mess behind.
Black horse forge in VA does classes for VETS and LEO'S for blacksmithing. I know that's a hike for you coming from Montana but looks like an awesome place, I know there's other places that are accredited and accept the Chapter 33 GI Bill just haven't looked that much onto it. Learned that on Forged in fire actually lol Ben Abbot talked about it when they did the Judges challenge series
@ClearedHot, great job! Cool podcast and awesome to hear about that side of things from your guest! I didn’t realize you have drop foot. I have that as well and have had many a nerve conduction test. Do you wear a brace or anything for it? Has definitely changed the way I do things and I look quite hilarious running.
❤I love your smile and your expression so much and I really love you with a very beautiful voice 🤙🤙🤙
Had a similar situation with CC and Detailer coming off submarines wanting to go recruiting. I wanted recruiting and was told no and was headed to Groton to work on subs my whole shore duty. Long and short, I went recruiting 😉
What an amazing woman!
Seems like a match made in heaven, huh Andy?
Maybe she can see if the Navy will relocate her to Whitefish
@@BostonsF1nest
She’s retired, guy.
@@internet_internet it’s a joke, guy
Love the podcast brother
My dads been fighting the VA for a few years (been out of the army for 25) about the burn pits & uranium exposure from tank explosions
2 things Andy..............1 post the video of the charging 3 yard elk 2. SHIRTLESS PIC
What an awesome kickass lady!!!
You need to have Green Beret Justin Lascek next please 🤘 🇺🇸
Osprey 4x the rotorwash, no autorotation, and reliant on active controls due to shared gearbox.
I'm interested in a Damascus Stumpf knife.
There were only 6!?!? I swear I got a series every time MEDPROS turned yellow
So, she’s a badass
If you're interested in learning more about bladesmithing, I highly recommend checking out the American Bladesmithing Society school in Arkansas. No idea if GI Bill will cover it but if you want to go from novice to proficient in the shortest amount of time, that's where I'd go.
IV dose of epinephrine for anafylaxis is 0.05mg so it was 50x dose.
Shit I was able to check my rifle out from the armory at Pendleton and go wack coyotes
Holy shit!! I'm 10 minutes into the actual interview & this "interview" has went 17 different directions & not one storyline has been finished entirely!
I'm not sure if I should continue or just stop watching now.....
Nikki has an amazing story & does very few interviews, yet I'm afraid I end this with a ton of unanswered questions / stories because not one single story is completed! 🤔 🤷♂️
The Raider 7. Helicopter crash that killed a whole team from MARSOC. Actually happened two years in a row with that same team if I’m not mistaken.
Good morning! Can we get an interview with the hog driver and tacp from the intro 🙏
wow! how come no one's asked this before!?! +1
@@TheGrayWarbler I've asked it a few times. Will ask a few more
*Here in China - the origin of this whole mess - the COVID-19 scare has ironically ended.* Social distancing ended ages ago, kids returned to school & people returned to work months back, and masks are only worn in big public areas (e.g. airports & train stations), if the store requires (Apple, yes; Starbucks, no), or if the person wants to (roughly 1/4 of elderly & people on the street do, the rest don't).
I’m gonna be 30 next year and have a bachelors degree... is it a no brainer to go the officer route or join enlisted? I always figured I would join enlisted and work my way up but since they mentioned it now I’m thinking I should go officer 100%
Not that my opinion matters since I don’t know you, but after 20 years enlisted, go officer. There is no money on our side of the house. While active or when leaving.
Andy you forgot your Field promotions to O4 you guys are equal
I love the attraction between you two! The chemistry is amazing, Andy???? Omg.
ANDY, do you premier these and participate in the live chat?
This chick has talked more about applying for different programs, application processes, and interviews than everyone who’s ever been on this podcast combined... feel like I’m actually listening to an interview for some loophole she’s found for the military’s retired podcast program lol
There are some helicopter flight schools relatively close to you. Missoula and Belgrade aren't super far away.
Glad you mentioned anthrax vaccine, & didn't take it. The book "Vaccine A" by Gary Matsumoto, opened my eyes.
Marines don’t just fix bayonets, they use them! Unfortunately most of the time on the amphib ventilation system.
Andy should have nick koumalatsos on
I totally agree!
ANDY, that would have been great to get her on and Tiffany from Drinkin Broettes on... I believe they have some similar backgrounds and different in other areas.... just a thought...
Nikki has more fake profiles on IG than Jen Anniston... Lol
If it wasn't for the main stream media. This would have been a bad flu season.
Omg Nikki is friggin HAWTTT ..
Good morning Humans!
Did you just assume my species? Oh I see what this is, your one of those "Are you a robot" systems. Not today AI, not today.

Lol....SAR school on a whim without prep. Not something one usually hears about (successfully anyways)
Donny O’Malley!!!!
I don't get it. Needing to set up field hospitals is kinda-sorta the sky falling down.
A better Rogan, thank god!
