I like Andy the most out of all the other SEALs since he’s so humble about his job. He doesn’t glorify his job and just acknowledges it as simply as a job like any other. There’s no sense of entitlement and betterment because he was a SEAL. He’s incredibly humble despite being so highly achieved, he did BUDS straight out of high school and screened for Green Team and joined DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6) at age 23 . Green Team screening and BUDS is difficult, but Andy just lays down the truth.
@@justrandom4304 Marcus Luttrell. He stays humble cause he came within inches of having his head cut off after losing his three best friends. Kinda hard to glorify what you did after that.
I wasn’t a seal but I can say the same thing Andy did about my time in the Navy. I’ve met some of the best guys I’ve ever met in the Navy. I have also met some of the biggest dirt bags I’ve ever met in the Navy.
I was in the Navy and when my fleet got called to the Persian Gulf, deck dept. used to have wait till 12am-2am to bring seals aborad the ship. It was pretty cool, but couldn't see their faces.
Why do you guys disrespect each other? Maybe it’s just certain guys, but I constantly see different branches shitting on each other and it’s always bothered me . There should be a sense of brotherhood with all the branches .
@@devdecker7812 It's *BECAUSE* we have a sense of brotherhood that we shit on eachother. We don't call Airman Chairman, or Marines Crayon eating r*tards, because we don't like them or hate them. Rather, it's because everyone who has been in KNOWS what it's like. Knows the pains. Knows the victories. Knows that feeling when you get your EGA or your Cap, and you finally leave behind the recruit, and become the Marine or Sailor that you set out to. You give eachother shit because you earned the right to. But you bet your ass that if anyone who hasn't gives a fellow serviceman or Vet shit, all the others will come to their defense immediately. I'm not sure if this following example will be PC or not, but I also don't Care: it's similar to how Black people can call eachother the N-word, or even just say that word. They can say it because they earned the right to say it. Because the suffering of their ancestors, and because they took a word that was meant to demoralize them, tear them down, and break them, and they turned it into a term of endearment. It truly is their word. They own it, in a sense. Same principle in a sense, for Vets/Serviceman. I can call my Marine buddies Crayon eaters, and they can call me a Semen slurper, because we all went through the shit and we use those insults as terms of endearment. Make sense?
@@devdecker7812 it’s a friendly rivalry though, like having 4 different college basketball teams representing the same university (example: University of North Carolina has multiple basketball teams for each UNC campus location. UNC Asheville, UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington, UNC chapel hill. They all represent the same state/school but are also competitive rivals with each other in the state basketball championships and National college basketball championships.
@@jerodfisher3119 You're right, i consider getting into policing but for that very reason i'm sorta on the fence about it. I don't feel like being around the toxicity of such people again.
@MichelleObama isAman The only SEALS that are humble are the ones that retired and been out the game. of course why wouldn't anybody have an ego after going through one of the hardest pipelines out of all the branches. I know i sure wouldn't.
@@brettwiederkehr386 I feel like the "me or we" thing was a tool used to train them against having an ego. But just as you can develop a habit, it is just as easy to loose the habit.
@MichelleObama isAman if you say that Seals deserve to be egotistical because they passed buds then do Rangers and Green Berets deserve egos? Every SOF has extremely hard training but some are just more publicised.
Had a mate attend Australian SAS selection course. 3 weeks of hell. He got through to the last day and said he survived that long by breaking it down into 12 hour blocks. He would tell himself, if I make it to the end of these 12 hours, I’ll be fine, and then would reset and go again.
Same principles for staying sober. I just have to not drink today. Early on, it was “I just have to make it to my break, then lunch, then break, then dinner.” Then a meeting and then bed. So in reality about 16 hours. The days and the years just start to pile up. 4.8.2003
I think he’s just referring to the tasks that they preform like using a compass to navigate a map, BUDs training is one of the most physically demanding training program on top of all the mind games they play on you to weed out quitters.
I really appreciate this guy and his perspective. I totally agree with him about how we ought to treat vets. Thank them for serving, but don't stand for any bullshit and give anyone special treatment
Odin OfficialEmcee exactly. My dad just retired from SF ODA-081 and he’s told me the same thing. Most are good but there are terrible people who make it through. The good ones don’t want to be treated different. The ones that do from what he’s said are the ones to be concerned about.
I'm British and my brother just retired after 26 years in the British Rifles and he had a lot of good friends in SF's in the UK, but of course there are pricks in all walks of life. The Army is gonna attract psychos also. 1 in 100 people in the world are sociopaths, so of course the army has that also. I've met guys in the British army through my brother who were cunts frankly, but that's in a lot of walks of life. It's just in soldiering they get access to kiling and dominating people. The people in the army or special forces UK or USA are no different to us all. Good and Bad in all, but as someone who studied psychology back in the day Sociopaths work in certain occupations, such as the law, the goverment, surgeons is a big one btw. Any power job.
Greg W I definitely agree. Psychos get through. There’s good people trying to do the right thing but they get screwed by the bad apples. I served myself and did joint ops with the British and I have nothing but respect for all of your people. But you are very right in the fact that sociopaths are drawn to the profession. All we can do is press for a better vetting process. Please thank your brother for me.
This guy nails it I was in buds class 86 in 1975, dropped, and class 93 in 77 was injured and said enough, hell week really exposes the ability to get along. Some of my best life experiences.
@@sevendoubleodex no shame,was offered another class, was losing motivation, 2 years left in enlistment, the idea of getting out was more interesting...
@Daniel Callahan yeah there's a few bad apples that slip by bro but you can't base an entire military off the actions of few. If they were caught or known to be doing those things they would be sent to military prison and punished for the rest of their lives. Thats not the big picture of the us military there are a lot of people that join for different purposes but the militarys goal is usually to protect good people and kill bad people and stand up for those who can't defend themselves. You know nothing, its easy too look up articles and to hate something you already don't like. Wake up
What I love about guys like Andy Stumpf and Mike Glover and Jocko and David Goggins, Jonny Kim is that they didn't let their military careers define them. They used the tactics and mindset and retired and moved on to another purpose in helping their communities.
I am retired Army. No, nothing fancy. I was a mechanic. I have met fellow retirees and veterans who were former Green Beret. Very down to earth and cool. Took a long time to discover they were SF. They never bragged or boasted about it.
@@BrockSampsonNA That's awesome. Am learning and appreciate more about SPECOPS since I discovered being a diver 9 months ago. I've moved on to wanting to be a USN Pilot, as the air show inspired me, but SPECOPS I think is what makes the military really cool. It's what you think of (in my opinion) when you envision soldiers/military.
@@BrockSampsonNA Since you served in the Navy, I have to ask. I'm torn between whether I stay civvy and finish my degree and then comission as an officer w/ a pilot slot, or do I enlist in the navy now and hope they end up wanting me to finish school and pay for it? The only problem I have with the idea of enlisting is getting stuck doing a job for the needs of the Navy and not being given the opportunity to fly. Any two cents would be greatly appreciated.
@Anthony 223 a thinking man gets himself next level especially physically, the brute falls and carries many weak links, really only able to beat a weaker brute in reality they tend to Target easy sure ppl
2:57 - 3:15 how to treat attractive people and your crush. Before thinking of them as being incredible, see what type of person they are before idolising them
In basic and advanced training there were two phrases I kept running through my mind to make my life easier.. No matter what you do act as though someone is always watching, and nothing lasts forever. His comments about how to look at training are very true. No matter what, it will end eventually.
I remember at 30th AG Reception Battalion, Fort Benning, GA we arrived and were kept awake for 2 1/2 days straight while processing into the Army. I literally told myself, if I just can just make it to my meals then we’ll be fine. We did not see the chow hall until the morning after those 2 1/2 days, and we slept that night for maybe 3 hours max. Breaking the day into segments definitely helps you get through it.
I have a cousin who is a captain in the Airforce and it's always fascinating just to hear him speak. These guys can't just be meat heads, they have to engage in complicated maneuvers to save another human being. That requires more brain over brawn.
The more specialized job in the military tends to have a higher intelligence and fitness average than the more basic jobs. The military is just like every other job. The better your qualifications, the higher level job you are qualified for.
This guy sounds like a programmer. Breaking down seemingly impossible problems into smaller, understandable steps. This mindset works in all facets of life.
Shannon god I wish I could high five you. I work in EMS and have met so many health care professionals who treat their patients like complete garbage. I’ve seen drs try to discharge people who shouldn’t be discharged because they were annoying the staff.
I was a hospital volunteer, and some people are so pretentious, then you have the others who are hard workers and carry their weight. Most of the people I met throughout the building were usually gung-ho or tried their best to be decent, but that one type of person who uses their status as something to brag grates on my nerves.
Political Reactor their goal isn’t to kill them. Why is it always the uninformed clowns who haven’t served a day in their life with the loudest voices. It’s about weeding out the weak... it literally makes no sense to try and kill them.... and they are there voluntarily and can quit whenever they want. There’s also medical attention available at all times. Now back to your Cheetos and video games.
I've never heard of this guy, Andy before but after being in the Corps and training with Force recon and the seals I have a ton of respect for him. He's very well spoken, intelligent, and a good guy.
Three decades of working with veterans, and a marine friend of mine set me straight some years ago. He said not everyone in the military deserves my respect. Take them one at a time like I would any human.
Julio Zam I really want to know what grown man who works and takes care of everything on a day to day basis caring if they type something wrong. Like talk about having gay molecular structure 💀💀💀
chubbyurma imagine how about I did talk about not having common sense or not paying attention to 6th grade English when they teach how to read between the lines or maybe 1st where they teach you to read in general 🎪
Exactly. I don't know how many times I've felt like people were putting me on a pedestal just because I'm a veteran. To me, just because I wore a uniform in the Army is nothing that is deserving of being glorified and treated any differently than anyone else. It is very weird to be looked at as a better person than others just because I served. Especially knowing some of the shit bags that I've experienced in my service, are being praised just for the fact that they wore/wear the uniform as well. Trust me, veterans don't want to be treated differently just because we wore/wear the uniform.
I always feel weird about how the military is glorified in the US compared to other western countries, not sure how to think about it. My father served in the Irish Army as part of UN peacekeeping forces, and he doesn't like the way veterans get treated over there. I think if a complete stranger called him or anyone he served with a hero, he'd politely tell them to sod off
@@NeverMakingVideos that's odd. Because when I was flying home from Iraq, we went through Dublin. And a civilian ran to the front of the long line of military people waiting to order food, laid down a credit card and told them to run every military person's order on their card. And my dad said he had the same thing happen when he came home from Kuwait. He was in Kuwait during 9-11
My whole family including my two grandma's are veterans. I was hit by a car when I was a kid and medically disqualified which kinda messed me up in the head a little bit. Maybe my point of view is different than other's but I'm not looking at y'all like y'all are better than anyone. I look at y'all with respect because y'all signed that blank check and went for all of us which is honorable to me. I thoroughly agree with and believe in y'all getting a few little extra perks and a few free meals or discounts and above all the respect all y'all deserve for enlisting I don't care what your job was... Idk how some other's view that nor do I care but I will always show my appreciation and respect to y'all in hopes it demonstrates how great full I am at least. I know there's millions more who think like me so on behalf of all of us like minded citizens we say Thank You Very Much for Your Service! P.S. Get all the little benefits and perks offered to y'all because y'all damn sure deserve em in my opinion... We don't do near enough for y'all anyways and that's downright shameful on our part!
@@FJ24. Yes. You can choose to be an offended b*tch about every statement someone makes, or you can take it with humour. Do you understand that concept?
The "we over me" discussion is really interesting to me in this. I suffer from pretty severe depression/suicidality that's rooted in me hating myself, being my own worst critic, being too much of a perfectionist sometimes, etc. I was recently sent home from work on paid time off due to a ton of mental stress I was applying to myself preparing for an intense workweek coming up for me. They were looking out for my safety because of my history of suicidal ideation. When my work told me I had to take paid time off from work, my response was "What about the rest of my team? They're going to need my help next week..." etc. I'm very quick to want to help everyone around me, but never want to help myself when I'm in a serious mental war with myself. It's just fascinating to me that the concept of "we over me" is something drilled into Navy SEALs in training pretty much as a pass/fail filter, while in my case I've lived that mentality for most of my life naturally, and it has actually led to me nearly committing suicide multiple times because I really don't care for myself at all, and only for those around me.
@@RedsBigRig Boats on heads, log pt, surf passage, 2 mile ocean swims, 4 mile timed runs, o course, lots of peeing in my pants. After all, not like you can just take a bathroom break. I prepped my uniform for 6 hours and passed the inspection.
@@RedsBigRig once I had to try and pull a guy who was bigger than me with him laying on his back and holding onto the back of my neck while I tried to crawl and pull him with me. We were racing other groups of 2 like that. I couldn't even move the guy at all. I also slammed into the top beam of the dirty name about 50 times in a row. Took about 70 tries until I could get the rope swing right. I'm not a soldier, just a really fit normal guy.
"Keep your world small". I feel stupid for not thinking like this before. It's honestly an amazing lens to view things through, because it allows you to not get overwhelmed. Damn.
@Judas Iscariot I wouldn't say it only works for handling high stress situations; it could work for things like working out as well, where instead of focusing on the end goal and be discouraged because you don't see massive leaps in progress, you keep your world small and focus on small goals on the way. And that's just one example.
@Judas Iscariot I don't think this philosophy hinders agency at all. I took it to mean that you keep your world small by only focusing on the the immediate things you can control -- i.e., execute in the present moment. There is still a time to plan for the future, and a time to evaluate the past, but you should remain present when it's time to execute. The problem is that many of us spend way too much time focusing on the past/future (past failures, future dreams, etc.), and not enough time on the present moment. Most of our lives are made up of small tasks, daily challenges, and minor obstacles, that when added up over the course of a lifetime determine who we will become. How much better would our lives be if we always gave 100% with the task at hand? I think that when one is able to focus fully on the immediate small step, we feel less stress, which makes the next step more possible, and allows us to turn a bunch of small steps into great achievement.
Tempesta Solarum I know you are on a mission to feel smart right now. But psychopaths usually have absolutely zero conscience where sociopaths have a rather small one and can form a small circle of relationships relevant to them whereas psychopaths don’t without something to gain. 25% of ceos are psychopaths. Show me that data please. And you are right about sociopaths being more prone to impulsive harm but sociopaths are still lower on that spectrum when it comes to degree of violent acts for a reason.
As a veteran, that part about "making them earn it" in regard to thanking them for their service is so true. Please don't assume someone as having honor and integrity purely based on the fact that they've served.
They’re people. Not different from rest of society. All different types of walks of life in military..you can meet thousands of veterans and not notice otherwise.
You see when the Norway shooter outlines "bonus missions" like killing the prime minister, these psychopaths had to raise the bar for themselves as well. WHY DO I GET THE FEELING THESE PEOPLE KILLED SETH RICH?
Old boss of mine was a retired Seal. Told me about being dropped into the ocean off san diego with a bunch of guys for 24 hours having to use his pants as a floatation device. while he was chill and bobbing on the waves some other guys were freaking out about sharks and shit. All in all he wasnt the least bit arrogant and was a matter of fact guy with a good sense of humor.

@@specialone6731 I respectfully disagree, I am humble enough to comfortably admit I’m nowhere near the mental/physical fortitude of this guy or any military service member. Not all of us are built to provide the same things.
@@specialone6731 “Should” is a tough word. It certainly would be nice to have people like this gentleman, but IF everyone were the same, I would imagine there would be just as many challenging situations in life. But I share your premise, mire good and less bad would be beneficial for all.
That's how I injured myself from over-exercise lol. Every time I jogged I had to do a little better. Eventually hurt my leg and had to stop for a month or so. I think paying close attention to the type of pain your legs are in is crucial but that sometimes takes 10, 20, 30 years of experience to understand the different pains and which one means you should walk.
@@JayzsMr Just because you are one, does not mean you can't possess the other. They are defined clearly and indifferent, though one may be confused with another because of some similar attributes. Those who know and understand the differences between them, will be able to know and understand who has what; to the definition.
Reminds me of advice my dad gave me as a kid when running. He would pick an object ahead and that would be his goal, when he got to that landmark he picked a landmark further ahead. Just keep breaking down the run j to small increments. It’s worked for me.
This guy summarizes how I’ve tried to treat current or former military crazy accurately. Thank you for everything you have done, are doing, or will do in the future. But you’re still a human on this earth and you’ll be treated by your merit not where or when you served
I was a career firefighter for eight years. Some of the best people I know were from the fire department. Some of the worst people I know were from the fire department. There are people I would not trust walk my dog in the fire department. I know people who stole prescription drugs from patients. I know one person who was involved with child pornography in the fire department. I know another person who was involved with scamming elderly people with fake insurance from the fire department. A profession does not dictate the quality of person. And every profession has bad people.
This is exactly what I tell people when they mention guys in the military who have supposedly seen UFOs or aliens so they 'must be real'. Just because they're in the military doesn't make them infallible. There's just as many nutjobs in the military as any other profession and should not be held in some high regard as such.
I'm not hating man, but no one cares about you being a firefighter or your scary stories. A soldier in war and a firefighter are extremely two different things. You remind of the guy that always walks around with a "I'm a firefighter" T-shirt on, lol. I'm sorry man, but just being honest. This guy is a true war hero. A Navy Seal is nothing comparable to a volunteer fire fighter my man. Go sign up if you wanna serve and do good and have some respectable stories.
Like 99% of people in the military aren't trying to get praise from others. "Thank you for your service" is one of the most awkward things you can say to another person, and no one I know in the military doesn't hate hearing it
The majority of us or more are stereotypical government employees to be quite frank. Actual work flow and output gets better in communities that are either up or to the side in my experience ie NSW/NSO communities (even for support guys), seabees, Rivron, frigate navy, aircrew..
I love Joe Rogan's podcasts because it has a great mix of people from every profession. Hands down, one of the most exciting podcast channels I have come across!
I can agree with what Andy said on how you treat vets. I had the same talk a while back with my parents and they gave me a deer in the headlights look. I was in the army as an 11b, and let me tell you. The best men I know I met in the army and the shittiest people I ever met was in the army. Literally took the words out of my mouth, essentially.
I needed to hear this video before going through a ROTC program at a senior military college. I got overwhelmed and quit. I still have some regret 13 years later that I didn't stick it out.
Joe Rogan's dream guest 🤯 would be a former Navy seal, that is an MMA fighter who smokes pot, has tripped on DMT, and probably knows a couple conspiracy theories. Thinking about it, that would be interesting lol
Tim kennedy is probably the closest thing to that - ex special forces, ex UFC fighter, did a TV show about the conspiracy of Hitler escaping to South America. Don't know if he is pro weed or DMT, but he definitely did seem like Joe's ideal guest when he was on
I’m reminded of the book “No Easy Day” where the author mentioned how he always thought of a riddle while going thru BUDs. How does one eat a large elephant? One bite at a time.
Bob Johnson no it wasn’t hard at all. The tough part was falling orders and doing a lot of stupid things . Doing stupid stuff for months is hard for me .
Buds 42. I was already a Corpsman when I attended. I had access to jars of Dexedrine (amphetamine) for allergies. All of us that went through hell week used them. Same for night patrols in Vietnam. It’s really hard to stay awake during night ambushes. Never used them again after I got out. We called them, “stay awakes”. Early 60’s. Everybody knew.
4:13 Rogan seems blinded by the same warrior reverence and to some degree obedience that Andy is vehemently against by saying “we can train monkey’s to do what SEALS do” and yet Rogan has it in his mind that it takes some kind of magic to get through intense rigorous training like BUDS. Listen to Andy when he says the best people in the world he’s been around are the SEALS community but they are also the *worst* …meaning there is no separation between the civilian’s world and that of the SEALS. Good and bad people exist everywhere. You weed them out by treating them all objectively and holding them to the same standard. Rogan seems to have a hard time grasping this concept because of his bias…and to a large degree many other people have this same warrior “reverence” of soldiers and law enforcement by giving them opportunities without making them earn it. That’s how we run into societal problems where these guys abuse their power. This is a good basis for the argument against qualified immunity.
What is really scary is that someone could endure and actually pass with flying colors such a physical and mental challenge like SEAL raining over 180 days and still disguise the fact that they're a murdering psychopath.
I love how he talks about hell week as just a goal where you focus on the small instead of the big. He really emphasizes the SEAL team motto - “The only easy day was yesterday.”
Yeah it's their job to say but that doesn't mean we shouldn't , treat differently doesn't mean treating them like a king , it meant respecting them and if they are injured in serving country physically or mentally ,it's oure duty to help them , do you realize how bad it would sound if veteran says we should treat differently than others ,yes exactly ,it sounds bad and they don't bcuz of their humbleness but it doesn't mean we shouldn't help or respect them more than a privelged people or a normal people who has done nothing for anyone other than himself , yes veteran deserves respect far more than those people
@@sugc3209 Bro you literally misinterpreted what he said. He never said not to be thankful and not to show respect, he said in the “work place”, if you work with a Vet or employ a Vet to not lower the standards just for them because they are a Vet. There are plenty of bad apples who are Vets and literally make a living out of manipulating people by using the Vet card. He also said that by lowering the standards for a Vet, you are hurting that Vet and you aren’t allowing yourself to see his true character. He was 100% correct in what he said and you misinterpreted it.
Gotta be quite the culture shock for the modern kid going through this kind of training. I'd bet that more people wash out now-a-days than maybe 10 years ago, even.
@Black Monty Burns Absolutely. There's a consequence of shrinking your frame too. Shrinking your frame of reference is good only when you're in crisis. If you use it as a lifestyle you become narrow-minded and have no ability to see beyond yourself and pursue God.
This is one of the most honest and integral segments I have seen. The man is very humble and articulate about who he is and what he has done, and would be a fantastic role model for any one, no matter their age.
I get what he’s saying. I’m 57 and remember kids in high school that made it to West Point, Annapolis, and how everyone looked up to these kids. They didn’t turn out to be psychopaths or anything but also didn’t turn out significantly different than someone that just enlisted in the service and went to a community college. Same houses, same concerns… why did everyone look up to them like they were going to somehow save the planet? As a result, I raised my kids with tremendous affection, humor, and attention knowing that they need to live in the present and focus on things that matter for that moment-and that’s not easy. We plan, impress, scheme and very little actually matters in the long run.
Breaking a large goal into smaller chunks is such a truism. I got through Ironman Triathlons that way. I could always ride the 5 miles to the next bike aid station and similarly I could always run a mile to the next running aid station.
James McComb no one mentioned stripping anyone of their free thought or individualism. I think part of the problem is someone says “we” and everyone loses their mind and all they see is red.
Andrew this is smart and i think it can really make a difference even living w depression. focus on one thing at a time. get your ass up go shower then do the next task, then focus on the next, and so on.
I knew a guy who tried hard to go to buds training after already being in a couple years on his first enlistment. He got picked up and made it all the way to the end. Not sure how true this is but I heard he rang the bell after completing buds before becoming a Seal because he thought long and hard about a course he went through were there was a cardboard cutout of a kid. Most humble and motivated guy I knew and still is. These guys go through a lot during training. I would have loved to go through it myself but I know I wouldn’t make it.
@@justme-kr7lx i heard in Iraq and in Afghanistan kids would sometimes be strapped with IEDs and sent at soldiers, women would be too. I guess its there so the soldier realizes they may have to do shoot them in that situation because their unit may be killed or the mission may fail leading to a critical failure for other units costing more lives. adult men aren't the only ones dying in combat as a combatant. defiantly disturbing but it could be the reality for a soldier finding themselves on the battlefield.
That sounds like some bullshit. Sounds like he’s embarrassed he didn’t make it so he quit out of principal. Did he see this cardboard cut out the very last day of seal training? I guarantee there’s plenty of other things to see along the way that are more objectionable
Hes talking about Benjamin Sifrit and his wife Erica. They killed the couple in Ocean City MD. They met the other couple at Seacrets Bar. The condo they killed them at is across the street from where I live.
As far as sleep deprivation goes, in 2007 I was getting very sick from mercury toxicity. I was awake for 98 hours. I can tell you all rational thinking goes out the window. I was borderline psychotic. Drove to the hospital and told the staff if they didnt admit me I was going to kill myself. And I was okay with it. You can only function so well without sleep. Worst thing I ever went through.
@@RambofromWarzone you not wrong at all my guy Unity is what we have always needed it's a sense of community.

I think my dad raised us with a little bit of this mentality. Never as extreme all in one week but consistent for years. Always working together, working hard and working long hours out in the elements. A lot of people today have no idea that this is actually what they are missing. They don’t need things to be easier. They need to be stretched as a person.

I like Andy the most out of all the other SEALs since he’s so humble about his job. He doesn’t glorify his job and just acknowledges it as simply as a job like any other. There’s no sense of entitlement and betterment because he was a SEAL. He’s incredibly humble despite being so highly achieved, he did BUDS straight out of high school and screened for Green Team and joined DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6) at age 23 . Green Team screening and BUDS is difficult, but Andy just lays down the truth.
Same. Those other famous SEALs want to project a rough and cold hearted persona. I also get genuine vibes from that Lone survivor guy he's awesome
Lets not forget Jocko Willink also incredible down to earth.
@@justrandom4304 Marcus Luttrell. He stays humble cause he came within inches of having his head cut off after losing his three best friends. Kinda hard to glorify what you did after that.

I wasn’t a seal but I can say the same thing Andy did about my time in the Navy. I’ve met some of the best guys I’ve ever met in the Navy. I have also met some of the biggest dirt bags I’ve ever met in the Navy.

That’s what he said though
Why do you guys disrespect each other? Maybe it’s just certain guys, but I constantly see different branches shitting on each other and it’s always bothered me . There should be a sense of brotherhood with all the branches .
@@devdecker7812 It's *BECAUSE* we have a sense of brotherhood that we shit on eachother. We don't call Airman Chairman, or Marines Crayon eating r*tards, because we don't like them or hate them. Rather, it's because everyone who has been in KNOWS what it's like. Knows the pains. Knows the victories. Knows that feeling when you get your EGA or your Cap, and you finally leave behind the recruit, and become the Marine or Sailor that you set out to. You give eachother shit because you earned the right to. But you bet your ass that if anyone who hasn't gives a fellow serviceman or Vet shit, all the others will come to their defense immediately.
I'm not sure if this following example will be PC or not, but I also don't Care: it's similar to how Black people can call eachother the N-word, or even just say that word. They can say it because they earned the right to say it. Because the suffering of their ancestors, and because they took a word that was meant to demoralize them, tear them down, and break them, and they turned it into a term of endearment. It truly is their word. They own it, in a sense.
Same principle in a sense, for Vets/Serviceman. I can call my Marine buddies Crayon eaters, and they can call me a Semen slurper, because we all went through the shit and we use those insults as terms of endearment. Make sense?
@@devdecker7812 it’s a friendly rivalry though, like having 4 different college basketball teams representing the same university (example: University of North Carolina has multiple basketball teams for each UNC campus location. UNC Asheville, UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington, UNC chapel hill. They all represent the same state/school but are also competitive rivals with each other in the state basketball championships and National college basketball championships.
The most striking part of my military experience was realizing how many people are narcissists and sociopaths.
Exactly,specially narcissists.
Just like the people who decide to become cops. Not all, but farrrr too many.
@@jerodfisher3119 You're right, i consider getting into policing but for that very reason i'm sorta on the fence about it. I don't feel like being around the toxicity of such people again.
There are loads of narcissists, especially in intel. Always needing to one-up people, and the first to throw people under the bus.
You Wish you sound like a narcissist right there.
Finally, a guy with no ego lays down the truth about being a SEAL
@MichelleObama isAman The only SEALS that are humble are the ones that retired and been out the game. of course why wouldn't anybody have an ego after going through one of the hardest pipelines out of all the branches. I know i sure wouldn't.
@@brettwiederkehr386 I feel like the "me or we" thing was a tool used to train them against having an ego. But just as you can develop a habit, it is just as easy to loose the habit.
@MichelleObama isAman if you say that Seals deserve to be egotistical because they passed buds then do Rangers and Green Berets deserve egos? Every SOF has extremely hard training but some are just more publicised.
@@DigitalStore33 what? Mental help for trauma? They're talking about ego not ptsd
I think they are we over me in their own community.
Had a mate attend Australian SAS selection course. 3 weeks of hell. He got through to the last day and said he survived that long by breaking it down into 12 hour blocks. He would tell himself, if I make it to the end of these 12 hours, I’ll be fine, and then would reset and go again.
I've heard a lot of seals say the same thing. Just focus on getting through to the next meal is a common one, this day, this exercise, this hour.
Who doesn't deal with life like that?! You have to ....one step at a Time.
Breakfast lunch dinner. Mind over matter. You don’t mind. It don’t matter. Swift silent deadly.
Same principles for staying sober. I just have to not drink today. Early on, it was “I just have to make it to my break, then lunch, then break, then dinner.” Then a meeting and then bed. So in reality about 16 hours. The days and the years just start to pile up. 4.8.2003

Odin OfficialEmcee exactly. My dad just retired from SF ODA-081 and he’s told me the same thing. Most are good but there are terrible people who make it through. The good ones don’t want to be treated different. The ones that do from what he’s said are the ones to be concerned about.
I'm British and my brother just retired after 26 years in the British Rifles and he had a lot of good friends in SF's in the UK, but of course there are pricks in all walks of life. The Army is gonna attract psychos also. 1 in 100 people in the world are sociopaths, so of course the army has that also. I've met guys in the British army through my brother who were cunts frankly, but that's in a lot of walks of life. It's just in soldiering they get access to kiling and dominating people. The people in the army or special forces UK or USA are no different to us all. Good and Bad in all, but as someone who studied psychology back in the day Sociopaths work in certain occupations, such as the law, the goverment, surgeons is a big one btw. Any power job.
Greg W I definitely agree. Psychos get through. There’s good people trying to do the right thing but they get screwed by the bad apples. I served myself and did joint ops with the British and I have nothing but respect for all of your people. But you are very right in the fact that sociopaths are drawn to the profession. All we can do is press for a better vetting process. Please thank your brother for me.

@Daniel Callahan yeah there's a few bad apples that slip by bro but you can't base an entire military off the actions of few. If they were caught or known to be doing those things they would be sent to military prison and punished for the rest of their lives. Thats not the big picture of the us military there are a lot of people that join for different purposes but the militarys goal is usually to protect good people and kill bad people and stand up for those who can't defend themselves. You know nothing, its easy too look up articles and to hate something you already don't like. Wake up

What I love about guys like Andy Stumpf and Mike Glover and Jocko and David Goggins, Jonny Kim is that they didn't let their military careers define them. They used the tactics and mindset and retired and moved on to another purpose in helping their communities.
I am retired Army. No, nothing fancy. I was a mechanic. I have met fellow retirees and veterans who were former Green Beret. Very down to earth and cool. Took a long time to discover they were SF. They never bragged or boasted about it.

It's what you think of (in my opinion) when you envision soldiers/military.
@@BrockSampsonNA Since you served in the Navy, I have to ask. I'm torn between whether I stay civvy and finish my degree and then comission as an officer w/ a pilot slot, or do I enlist in the navy now and hope they end up wanting me to finish school and pay for it? The only problem I have with the idea of enlisting is getting stuck doing a job for the needs of the Navy and not being given the opportunity to fly. Any two cents would be greatly appreciated.

This guy has a wonderful calmness that is easy to listen to. Little drama. Amazing words with a relaxed persona.
In basic and advanced training there were two phrases I kept running through my mind to make my life easier.. No matter what you do act as though someone is always watching, and nothing lasts forever. His comments about how to look at training are very true. No matter what, it will end eventually.
I remember at 30th AG Reception Battalion, Fort Benning, GA we arrived and were kept awake for 2 1/2 days straight while processing into the Army. I literally told myself, if I just can just make it to my meals then we’ll be fine. We did not see the chow hall until the morning after those 2 1/2 days, and we slept that night for maybe 3 hours max.
Breaking the day into segments definitely helps you get through it.
This guy is amazingly articulate, which makes him even more impressive.

Exactly. I don't know how many times I've felt like people were putting me on a pedestal just because I'm a veteran. To me, just because I wore a uniform in the Army is nothing that is deserving of being glorified and treated any differently than anyone else. It is very weird to be looked at as a better person than others just because I served. Especially knowing some of the shit bags that I've experienced in my service, are being praised just for the fact that they wore/wear the uniform as well. Trust me, veterans don't want to be treated differently just because we wore/wear the uniform.
I always feel weird about how the military is glorified in the US compared to other western countries, not sure how to think about it. My father served in the Irish Army as part of UN peacekeeping forces, and he doesn't like the way veterans get treated over there. I think if a complete stranger called him or anyone he served with a hero, he'd politely tell them to sod off
I know some that do

And my dad said he had the same thing happen when he came home from Kuwait. He was in Kuwait during 9-11
My whole family including my two grandma's are veterans. I was hit by a car when I was a kid and medically disqualified which kinda messed me up in the head a little bit.
Maybe my point of view is different than other's but I'm not looking at y'all like y'all are better than anyone. I look at y'all with respect because y'all signed that blank check and went for all of us which is honorable to me.
I thoroughly agree with and believe in y'all getting a few little extra perks and a few free meals or discounts and above all the respect all y'all deserve for enlisting I don't care what your job was...
Idk how some other's view that nor do I care but I will always show my appreciation and respect to y'all in hopes it demonstrates how great full I am at least. I know there's millions more who think like me so on behalf of all of us like minded citizens we say Thank You Very Much for Your Service!

Hearing a SEAL say "They are out in the water, i aint going out there" is funny as hell.
The "we over me" discussion is really interesting to me in this. I suffer from pretty severe depression/suicidality that's rooted in me hating myself, being my own worst critic, being too much of a perfectionist sometimes, etc. I was recently sent home from work on paid time off due to a ton of mental stress I was applying to myself preparing for an intense workweek coming up for me. They were looking out for my safety because of my history of suicidal ideation. When my work told me I had to take paid time off from work, my response was "What about the rest of my team? They're going to need my help next week..." etc. I'm very quick to want to help everyone around me, but never want to help myself when I'm in a serious mental war with myself.
It's just fascinating to me that the concept of "we over me" is something drilled into Navy SEALs in training pretty much as a pass/fail filter, while in my case I've lived that mentality for most of my life naturally, and it has actually led to me nearly committing suicide multiple times because I really don't care for myself at all, and only for those around me.
I took my shot at this training 10 years ago. Made it to phase 1, day 3 😆

@Judas Iscariot I wouldn't say it only works for handling high stress situations; it could work for things like working out as well, where instead of focusing on the end goal and be discouraged because you don't see massive leaps in progress, you keep your world small and focus on small goals on the way. And that's just one example.
@Judas Iscariot That's not at all what you implied, and you know it. Working out is not an emergency.
@Judas Iscariot I don't think this philosophy hinders agency at all. I took it to mean that you keep your world small by only focusing on the the immediate things you can control -- i.e., execute in the present moment. There is still a time to plan for the future, and a time to evaluate the past, but you should remain present when it's time to execute. The problem is that many of us spend way too much time focusing on the past/future (past failures, future dreams, etc.), and not enough time on the present moment. Most of our lives are made up of small tasks, daily challenges, and minor obstacles, that when added up over the course of a lifetime determine who we will become. How much better would our lives be if we always gave 100% with the task at hand? I think that when one is able to focus fully on the immediate small step, we feel less stress, which makes the next step more possible, and allows us to turn a bunch of small steps into great achievement.

That's how I injured myself from over-exercise lol. Every time I jogged I had to do a little better. Eventually hurt my leg and had to stop for a month or so.

I was a career firefighter for eight years. Some of the best people I know were from the fire department. Some of the worst people I know were from the fire department. There are people I would not trust walk my dog in the fire department. I know people who stole prescription drugs from patients. I know one person who was involved with child pornography in the fire department. I know another person who was involved with scamming elderly people with fake insurance from the fire department. A profession does not dictate the quality of person. And every profession has bad people.
This is exactly what I tell people when they mention guys in the military who have supposedly seen UFOs or aliens so they 'must be real'. Just because they're in the military doesn't make them infallible. There's just as many nutjobs in the military as any other profession and should not be held in some high regard as such.
This why in the military we have a UCMJ , it keeps the dark shit out of the public eye.

I'm not hating man, but no one cares about you being a firefighter or your scary stories. A soldier in war and a firefighter are extremely two different things. You remind of the guy that always walks around with a "I'm a firefighter" T-shirt on, lol. I'm sorry man, but just being honest. This guy is a true war hero. A Navy Seal is nothing comparable to a volunteer fire fighter my man. Go sign up if you wanna serve and do good and have some respectable stories.

"Thank you for your service" is one of the most awkward things you can say to another person, and no one I know in the military doesn't hate hearing it
@@blocktopic Thank you, from a Vietnam veteran.
I never once treated a veteran as special. Didnt see anything special about them. Most people could do their job
smelly_meat boss lol something tells me you still live with your parents
The majority of us or more are stereotypical government employees to be quite frank. Actual work flow and output gets better in communities that are either up or to the side in my experience ie NSW/NSO communities (even for support guys), seabees, Rivron, frigate navy, aircrew..
I love Joe Rogan's podcasts because it has a great mix of people from every profession. Hands down, one of the most exciting podcast channels I have come across!
I can agree with what Andy said on how you treat vets. I had the same talk a while back with my parents and they gave me a deer in the headlights look. I was in the army as an 11b, and let me tell you. The best men I know I met in the army and the shittiest people I ever met was in the army. Literally took the words out of my mouth, essentially.
I'm hardcore bingeing the hell out of JRE military interviews. His science guest are great but damn these military guys keep it real asf.
You need to listen to Jocko willink. That’s basically his entire channel.
Im very glad to hear navy seal interviews get don shipley on too
Check out their books too. I just listened to David Goggins' audiobook and it's fantastic!
What? Who? Agreed !
I AGREE
OBAMA has deported more Mexicans than any other president ever
The most genuine grounded Seal I've ever heard.
Look up Rich Graham as well
Jocko?
David Goggins
Jocko gets deep, at times.
faaake lol u got trolled
Joe's thinking, "about that pie...if it's a pizza pie, I got this no need to pace myself."
I needed to hear this video before going through a ROTC program at a senior military college. I got overwhelmed and quit. I still have some regret 13 years later that I didn't stick it out.
Joe Rogan's dream guest 🤯 would be a former Navy seal, that is an MMA fighter who smokes pot, has tripped on DMT, and probably knows a couple conspiracy theories.
Thinking about it, that would be interesting lol
Yeah I'm smiling already.
Tim kennedy is probably the closest thing to that - ex special forces, ex UFC fighter, did a TV show about the conspiracy of Hitler escaping to South America. Don't know if he is pro weed or DMT, but he definitely did seem like Joe's ideal guest when he was on
🤯😂😂
Conspiracy theories seem to me to be Common sense. Good guest. Very likeable.
Probably needs to eat elk meet as well😂
"get to the next meal" Thats exactly how I got through Marine Corp Bootcamp. Its all mental
every day at work man.
I’m reminded of the book “No Easy Day” where the author mentioned how he always thought of a riddle while going thru BUDs.
How does one eat a large elephant? One bite at a time.
@HanchoPOW very true indeed.
Marine boot camp is not hard...
Bob Johnson no it wasn’t hard at all. The tough part was falling orders and doing a lot of stupid things . Doing stupid stuff for months is hard for me .
Buds 42. I was already a Corpsman when I attended. I had access to jars of Dexedrine (amphetamine) for allergies. All of us that went through hell week used them.
Same for night patrols in Vietnam. It’s really hard to stay awake during night ambushes.
Never used them again after I got out.
We called them, “stay awakes”.
Early 60’s. Everybody knew.
I understand this was quite a while ago but why were amphetamines given for allergies?
“Clean your knife you dirty bitch”
Proper got me that 😂
“Stand the fuck by...”. One of my favorite phrases from the navy
Haha no shit right?
Marine Corps says the exact same thing definitely the best line out there.
“Whose gonna carry the boat!” “You don’t know me son!”
YOU DONT KNOW ME SON
Jay Carrera thats you Buddy!
Stay Hard
4:13 Rogan seems blinded by the same warrior reverence and to some degree obedience that Andy is vehemently against by saying “we can train monkey’s to do what SEALS do” and yet Rogan has it in his mind that it takes some kind of magic to get through intense rigorous training like BUDS. Listen to Andy when he says the best people in the world he’s been around are the SEALS community but they are also the *worst* …meaning there is no separation between the civilian’s world and that of the SEALS. Good and bad people exist everywhere. You weed them out by treating them all objectively and holding them to the same standard. Rogan seems to have a hard time grasping this concept because of his bias…and to a large degree many other people have this same warrior “reverence” of soldiers and law enforcement by giving them opportunities without making them earn it. That’s how we run into societal problems where these guys abuse their power. This is a good basis for the argument against qualified immunity.
That is crazy.
What is really scary is that someone could endure and actually pass with flying colors such a physical and mental challenge like SEAL raining over 180 days and still disguise the fact that they're a murdering psychopath.
I love how he talks about hell week as just a goal where you focus on the small instead of the big. He really emphasizes the SEAL team motto - “The only easy day was yesterday.”
I love his philosophy on not treating veterans any differently, regardless of their job title.
Me 2, I liked what he said
Yeah it's their job to say but that doesn't mean we shouldn't , treat differently doesn't mean treating them like a king , it meant respecting them and if they are injured in serving country physically or mentally ,it's oure duty to help them , do you realize how bad it would sound if veteran says we should treat differently than others ,yes exactly ,it sounds bad and they don't bcuz of their humbleness but it doesn't mean we shouldn't help or respect them more than a privelged people or a normal people who has done nothing for anyone other than himself , yes veteran deserves respect far more than those people
@@sugc3209 'our duty' lol, get a grip. No one told them to take that job.
@@sugc3209 Bro you literally misinterpreted what he said. He never said not to be thankful and not to show respect, he said in the “work place”, if you work with a Vet or employ a Vet to not lower the standards just for them because they are a Vet. There are plenty of bad apples who are Vets and literally make a living out of manipulating people by using the Vet card. He also said that by lowering the standards for a Vet, you are hurting that Vet and you aren’t allowing yourself to see his true character. He was 100% correct in what he said and you misinterpreted it.
He is definitely the coolest seal interview I've seen.
Andy is a very articulate guy who lets it out honestly. Makes it sound easier than I’m sure it is.
Ricky Bobby has the SEAL mentality, “if you’re not first you’re last”
Hahaaaa
“I was high when i said that”.-reese bobby
Gotta be quite the culture shock for the modern kid going through this kind of training. I'd bet that more people wash out now-a-days than maybe 10 years ago, even.
He also has Baby Jesus on his side.
His story about a his friend from BUD training is in forensic files!
Where can I find it?
I recognized the case right away
Harald Hårfager season 2 episode 8
I thought so. It sounded like I had heard that story. Thanks for saying that.
that’s funny, i actually just saw that episode and actually wondered if he was in around the time of stumpf. no bullshit.
These are my favorite guests...Discipline is criminally underrated not only in this country but in this world, and it cannot be overstated.
This makes seal training seems almost impossible in my eye. Unreal respect for those who complete it
Nothing takes the luster off of an elite outfit, like joining it.
Grass is always green sorta thing I guess
Nothing takes the luster off of a fabulous outfit, like wearing it. That's what they say in the Gayvy SEALs
@@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261 Please do something with your life
@Black Monty Burns Absolutely. There's a consequence of shrinking your frame too. Shrinking your frame of reference is good only when you're in crisis. If you use it as a lifestyle you become narrow-minded and have no ability to see beyond yourself and pursue God.
yup. I used to think marines were badass lmao
This is one of the most honest and integral segments I have seen. The man is very humble and articulate about who he is and what he has done, and would be a fantastic role model for any one, no matter their age.
I get what he’s saying. I’m 57 and remember kids in high school that made it to West Point, Annapolis, and how everyone looked up to these kids. They didn’t turn out to be psychopaths or anything but also didn’t turn out significantly different than someone that just enlisted in the service and went to a community college. Same houses, same concerns… why did everyone look up to them like they were going to somehow save the planet? As a result, I raised my kids with tremendous affection, humor, and attention knowing that they need to live in the present and focus on things that matter for that moment-and that’s not easy. We plan, impress, scheme and very little actually matters in the long run.
You sound like a great Dad
Breaking a large goal into smaller chunks is such a truism. I got through Ironman Triathlons that way. I could always ride the 5 miles to the next bike aid station and similarly I could always run a mile to the next running aid station.
“We is greater than me” is a lesson I think a good chunk of Americans need to learn.
Not just americans.
And strip away people's free thought and individualism? Nah, fuck that. Let people be selfish.
As a team with a mission yes, as a society that starts to get very dangerous. You will give up freedom, liberty, and individuality
BUT IT MY TOILER PAPUR.
James McComb no one mentioned stripping anyone of their free thought or individualism. I think part of the problem is someone says “we” and everyone loses their mind and all they see is red.
I’m taking the “keep your world small” philosophy with me to my grave. Always learning from the people on this channel.
It really did flip a switch for me, as well. Especially where he mentioned hell week and just taking it 6 hours at a time, meal by meal.
Andrew this is smart and i think it can really make a difference even living w depression. focus on one thing at a time. get your ass up go shower then do the next task, then focus on the next, and so on.
@@sarikatimmi in recovery they say just take it one day at a time but there has been many days where I had to take it minute by minute
Same here.It's a great philosophy that can be applied to so many different areas of life.
I knew a guy who tried hard to go to buds training after already being in a couple years on his first enlistment. He got picked up and made it all the way to the end. Not sure how true this is but I heard he rang the bell after completing buds before becoming a Seal because he thought long and hard about a course he went through were there was a cardboard cutout of a kid. Most humble and motivated guy I knew and still is. These guys go through a lot during training. I would have loved to go through it myself but I know I wouldn’t make it.
Your humility says otherwise. Never undervalue that.
What was the point of it in the shape of kid?
I don’t understand. Why did he quit?
@@justme-kr7lx i heard in Iraq and in Afghanistan kids would sometimes be strapped with IEDs and sent at soldiers, women would be too. I guess its there so the soldier realizes they may have to do shoot them in that situation because their unit may be killed or the mission may fail leading to a critical failure for other units costing more lives. adult men aren't the only ones dying in combat as a combatant. defiantly disturbing but it could be the reality for a soldier finding themselves on the battlefield.
That sounds like some bullshit. Sounds like he’s embarrassed he didn’t make it so he quit out of principal. Did he see this cardboard cut out the very last day of seal training? I guarantee there’s plenty of other things to see along the way that are more objectionable
Mr. Stumpf, thank you. That was one of the best explanations of B.U.D.S training I have ever heard.
He looks like he could be Covingtons brother
Muggsy Walker I was thinking the same thing
Yeah colby is the evil twin 🤣
@Garret Snyder I know it's a gimmick I was joking about it. I think hes entertaining to watch.
Been looking through the comments to find someone else who thought this 😂😂 its the eyes 👀
If Colby wasn't an idiot... not to be critical.
Hes talking about Benjamin Sifrit and his wife Erica. They killed the couple in Ocean City MD. They met the other couple at Seacrets Bar. The condo they killed them at is across the street from where I live.
Damn.
SEE YOU SOON BUDDY 😈
@Andy G haha, why is Jesse Ventura a psycho?
That was an episode of Forensic Files. Pretty interesting.
Apparently he's eligible for parole next year. Chilling.
I like this Stumpf character, I could tilt back a few dozen with this legend
As far as sleep deprivation goes, in 2007 I was getting very sick from mercury toxicity. I was awake for 98 hours. I can tell you all rational thinking goes out the window. I was borderline psychotic. Drove to the hospital and told the staff if they didnt admit me I was going to kill myself. And I was okay with it. You can only function so well without sleep. Worst thing I ever went through.
The "We is greater than me." Mindset is amazing sounds like the Spartans the brother next to you held a higher value
Go to Sparta today, just an empty field.
If only all the homies held that mindset
@@RambofromWarzone you not wrong at all my guy Unity is what we have always needed it's a sense of community. Just because we're from the ghetto doesn't mean we despise our neighbors on the contrary they are all we have. Our families help their families and so on and so on. I'm not trying to build an empire just create a path. Peace and love and Joe I'll be worried when I stop getting these podcast homie
CALL OF DUTY WARZONE
Sounds like socialism actually
Joe “Hmmm That Makes Sense” Rogan
Hank Moody I read this comment literally as he said it. 10/10 comment
Joe "Really?" Rogan
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
Lol he just said it
No sleep really sucks, I’ve fallen asleep whilst walking, then ran head first into a wall, which kind of woke me up a bit.
I think my dad raised us with a little bit of this mentality. Never as extreme all in one week but consistent for years. Always working together, working hard and working long hours out in the elements. A lot of people today have no idea that this is actually what they are missing. They don’t need things to be easier. They need to be stretched as a person.
This guy is the exact opposite of Tim Kennedy.
Can you explain that further?
thsu8 I agree. Could you elaborate
I agree, got suckered into taking his “ sheepdog response “ class, I was less than impressed.
@@stevespencer3987 really? 😂😂😂 it didn’t live up to the hype? I am actually curious if it is truly as great as advertised.
@KtotheD85 Kennedy was Special Forces
“Plus it’s in the water, and I’m not going out there” lmfao 😂 😂
I was in the Marine Corps and I don’t tell people I served because if they find out I did they just talk about how hardcore SEALs are lol
"We're not out there doing nuclear physics... ". As a former Navy Nuke Electronics Technician, I resent that comment. Haha.
But were you a seal?
Possibly the most educating, honest and captivating segment Ive watched in quite some time. Thank you.
He doesn't look like Rogan's son... He looks like Colby Covington's dad.
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
Nah his older brother
Just getting to the next day was how i got through my entire military service
It's a rare person who can speak this long without Joe interrupting.
