- This episode I welcome a former SEAL training classmate who I’ve not seen in over a decade, Clark Impastato. He has run the full gambit from Navy SEAL, overseas security contractor, and undercover cop/ patrol cop with Phoenix PD fighting human trafficking, drug trafficking, cartels and much more. We delve into the journey that many of us veterans face when getting out of the military and trying find our way with our unique set of skills. There’s no shortage of jokes and ridiculousness with us catching up after all this time.

"We had to jimi hendrix some shit" has got to be one of the greatest lines. :}
Just spent my Friday night watching this podcast. I've been watching one of these every day since they appeared in my suggestions about a week ago. I'm sharing them with a couple thousand friends as I go.
This has to be my favorite, so far. Lots of hysterical moments, and a couple I'm still blushing from.
Great interview. And thank you both for your service!
Really enjoyed this episode! Keep up the great work and of course, thank you for your service. Cheers from across the pond.
my favourite episode so far, Clark is an awesome story teller and bonus is seeing Mike laughing this hard 😂
Im my mind this is what a podcast should be!! TWO DUDE'S TALKING SHIT ABOUT THE DAYS!! BEST CONVERSATION I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME,GREAT JOB BROTHERS!! I CAN FEEL THE LOVE AND BROTHERHOOD!!
Clark is absolutely hilarious. I watched this video when it first came out and watched it again today because he is so funny.
Time to watch it again! Just rewatched for the 2nd time. Just as great lol
I remember this episode when it first came out, and it’s the only episode i re listen too every now and again. We need Clark on here more
appreciated the gun discussion and recommendations. Clark is very impressive and humble at the same time.
This is my "go to" while I wait for the next podcast to drop. Never gets old. Kinda love the Impastato❤
WOW! You were so right. This one was epic.
@Nikki A
So far, this has been my favorite episode! Clark is one cool dude all the way. As a military/law enforcement guy, I completely appreciate all the things he said, especially about his police work. The things we go through and having to make that quick adjustment from cop to husband/dad in just a few minutes, then right back again a few hours later is something most people don't take into consideration, and that most cops see as just part of life. Thank you a thousand times over for everything, Clark, and to you Mike. On a side note, because of your episodes, I have bought Jay Dobyns book and also Nick Irving's first book!
Clark is the way everybody in the military should be!!!
3 podcasts in, every SEAL has full sleeves lol.
Good Video...two good/bad dudes! Appreciate all you do! Keep it up..Semper Fi!
You guys are amazing. Thanks for your service and content. Much appreciated.
One of the funniest episodes yet. Clark, you’re the MAN!
These two dudes right here are some of the chillest out there I could listen to this interview over and over. Thank you two for your service and keeping us safe.
Awesome Mike. Definitely one of my favorite of your great podcasts, especially when two old friends come back together. Team room bullshiting is the best!
No quality control needed here. This conversation between 2 men gets down and dirty in the trenches, and comes up with a wealth of knowledge without taking a breath. Can’t miss this one or any other pod casts with Mike. Awesomeness as abnormal.
Clark is so funny enjoyed his stories, great interview!
Great conversation! Even better than I expected. Clark has been around and seen some things!
When I can't sleep and think I'm having a bad time I listen to your podcast and the stories you elite men go through and it makes my problems seem very small. Thank you gentlemen! Much support Mike! Thank you! God bless
Great podcast and guest,Clark is a straight up funny,bad ass DUDE!!!!
Again, great podcast, like Clark's honesty and humbleness.
An amazing podcast. I enjoy very much listening to Clark. Mike ur podcasts have become a staple in my long drive to the range👍
I'm in fucking tears lol,definetly the most fun I've had listening to a podcast. Thanks for sharing
Gayest straight guys ever!
Great interviews Mike, keep em coming.
Great show man just started tuning in...love all the vets and their stories....freedom isnt free, these men are the ones who pay....thank you for your service.
Thanks for the name drop, Bro! Love the show. It is the most interesting show on RUclips.
One of my favorites. Such a cool and humble dude.
Awesome interview.
You would be hammered if you took a drink every time he said dude lol.
Great stories!
Best interview I’ve seen. Hilarious, direct to the point and personable. Thanks guys. You the real MVP’s
This interview was awesome. I laughed so hard and it felt like I was back in the navy just talking shit and having fun. Good times. Keep up the amazing work
It’s crazy how after only 5 episodes mike has become a top tier interviewer/host! Thanks for another great podcast.
Birds of a feather....
He is a high quality interviewer.
M
Another Great podcast! Thank you Mike and Clark.
This is my first Mike Ritland podcast and certainly not my last. Thank you both for such outstanding service to our country! I can attest to Clark's characterization of what it is to be a police officer. I retired after 24 years of service. It certainly is nothing like the teams but it is every bit as complex and difficult as Clark has stated. Most Americans have no clue and are so quick to judge the men and women in blue. Thanks to you both for an outstanding interview!
Rick & Linda Lewis - well said. Thank You both
Mike is great. He has no interest in puffing himself up with any ego bullshit. He just puts the guest in the spotlight, asks really good questions, then sits back and lets the guest talk. He’s a really good interviewer.
That guy is friggin hilarious
Outstanding keep them coming Mike.
I loved this episode. Clark’s experience as an operator, contractor, and a cop is very unique. Great to hear how he thinks being on patrol & narco compares and differs from his experiences over seas. Would love to hear more guests with LEO backgrounds.
You need to have Don Shipley on here!
2 legends.... awesome podcast
When it comes to you guys there's no such thing as stroking your ego. You deserve every bit of it and if that's what you're going to call it then keep on stroking because you guys deserve it. Thank you so much for everything you've done
This is my favorite of all Mike Drop podcasts... gotta appreciate the guests’ pure responses 🇺🇸
Agreed
Im an NYPD Police officer, and big fan of the podcast. It was cool hearing about his experience on the job and I could relate to so much of what he was saying. It was also awesome to hear your appreciation for law enforcement, right on brother.
I find myself turning off my TV and listening to this podcast. Thank you for doing these interviews. Your story’s deserve to heard, I just hope we deserve to hear them. Keep up the great work.
Such a great interview, great story, well structured questions and pacing, flawless! Clark shreds on geetar too.
This is the best podcast you’ve done. I wish I didn’t listen to it already so I could watch it all over again fresh. Great stories. This guy has lived a hell of a life.
Lol, I feel that way way about certain movies. I wanna go back and watch them for the first time. And hell yeah, his podcast was really good.
Such a great episode!
I was "owning" places and didn't know it. Great podcast.
haha!
@@MikeRitland after this podcast during my whole meps and rsp I've owned everything its been hilarious 😅🤷♂️
David Meyer same. My high school bathroom was owned sooooo many times.
GREAT F****** iNTERVIEW!! watched it all. American Heroes! G-d Bless You!
What a likable, positive guy. Thanks for having Clark on the show, Mike.
Thank you both I was glued to this
Great one. Really cool watching two mates catch up.
What a great interview. “A Crayon and a napkin!” LOL!
Great Podcasts Mr. Ritland, keep it up.
Mike keep up the great work, this podcast was awesome. Great stories!!!
Clark is hilarious! Get him on again, love the interview
I was an AO2 on the Vinson when you were our plane guard. I was BUD/S 218 Feb 98 and remember you 215 guys in your red helmets was the first class I saw. Small world. Great interview!
I’m buds with a guy that was 215 and is now retired from navy but still kicks doors lol that class was stacked when you look at who graduated with these two
@@d.w.richard7811God Bless you for your service. Best to your family as well. Did you spend anytime at DamNeck?
@@xprettylightsx I was never a seal friends with a few I was naval Aircrewman
@@d.w.richard7811 awesome ! Thank you for the reply .
@@xprettylightsx no problem I never want to take any Valor they have they being Seal teams so had to respond before I ended up on Mr.Don Shipley’s desk if not familiar with that name look him up amazing vids on RUclips and online
these guys are so down to earth, and so hilarious...absolutely hilarious.
My 2nd time watching all the way through in Dec 2023, Great episode and so many of your comments are even more spot on today.
Keep em coming Mike. Good stuff
Mike! Great interview as always. Smart discussions. (And yes, your head is still down. Lol!)
So lovely to hear a badass who respects and fears his mum ... still. Man, coming from a proud military and LE family (but a civilian myself who gets to work with those warriors), I really appreciate the love that gets thrown to those 2 branches of service on this channel! I especially am grateful for how these gentlemen suss out the differences between the two. LEOs are up close and personal the only thing that stands between "them" and "us" and Clark said it perfectly: they don't get to have a buffer (of time and distance) between work and home, so it's a different animal from the military that way. Also, cortisol levels for military warriors are concentrated during deployments; LEOs are *always* needing to be hypervigilant every single working hour, and have to (in a split second) make judgment calls that require a laser (but not linear) focus as our military warriors do. Mike I hope that you realize the service that you're providing with this platform to help educate about the unique struggles of these two populations. I've mad respect for you for that, and I hope that your folks are super proud of the son they raised. Thank you so much!
So much respect for the both of you guys! great interview and love the podcast
Late finding this episode but loved it...thanks to both of you
You should Clark on about 3 times a year.
I vote monthly!!!
Fuck once-a-week, I'd like to have this dude as my fucking neighbor bro😅😅😅

Going through your older casts… enjoy your interviews and your attitude.
Hope you stay in touch with Clark. Friends like this are worth the effort.
Pat McNamara would be a awesome guest
PatMac's an extraordinaire pipe hitter, and would be one of the greats to watch for sure!!!
Would love to see that!
We need Pat on this podcast.
Yes!👍
Impasato is awesome
Truly enjoyed his humor. I do believe that what you see is what you get with Mr. Impastato.
So Clark and Chris Osman were in the same BUDs class? That shit must have been hilarious. You gotta have those guys on again at the same time.
It was really encouraging to hear him talk about his mom and how she influenced him. I chose to focus on education, career, financial stability and giving my son a good childhood rather than dating. I hope he can look back when he’s older and see that the same way.
another great podcast, great job mike!
I have watched most of your podcast but this was definitely my favorite!
Another OUTSTANDING Interview! Great job Mike!!!
Kick ass interview guys ...This is what movies are made of ...I'd definitely pay ! But very cool i could listen to stories all day and night 😉🇺🇸
Great podcast with two badasses
This is a great podcast. You can tell these dudes are buds. Mike's energy was just a notch higher for this. I think a part two would be great
Great interview! This was awesome!
Great Episode Clark reminds of a badass version of "The Dude" from big lebowski
Fucking spot on!
The Dude is already a badass...in his own way
Nailed it!! The dude abides!! 🤘🤘
Watched this three times. Love it
Mike you're a inspiration to me and many others coming from a military family thank you for your service 🇺🇲 very informative.
WOW ! What a great story.... humble guy. Had to watch the whole thing. Really enjoyed it = )
Clark, thanks for picking up the sword and sharing with us man.
I’m gonna need Clark back Mike. Whenever I’m feeling like a bag of shit which may be often. I go back and listen to this episode 😂
I can’t help but smile while listening!!
Awsome interview one of my favourites
I am hooked, Great interview! Genuinely laughed out loud soooo many times during this. Mike is spot on about those knowing the least about anything being the loudest. Feb. 2021 and this is even more relevant now.
Mike thank you so much for telling these stories I’m great full that they are being told I think it’s so important for history’s sake and for somebody who’s dream it was to join into the community but whose body started trying to kill itself before he had the chance it at least gives me a way to at least taste how awesome those who protect us are
This dude is so freaking hilarious, I’ve watched this podcast easily 3-5 times. Interesting Ass background and such a dope attitude towards life. Well done, Clark!
Great background, and awesome stories. Another killer podcast.
Dude... laughed a lot at serious topics. Dark humor intact. Dude.
I'm gonna have to say this interview is definitely in my top like 5 episodes and 8m kinda a new comer to this pod cast
Love this channel. Clark was inspiring!
This guy way one of your best pod casts. Great sense of humor, interesting! He should have a pod cast or something
Great interview! Clark is hilarious and has been through a lot of interesting shit. Love it.
Playing catch up on your videos, working back in time. Great interview with Clark! Jam up cool dude! Left handed shooters from Black Hawk County, always a good thing
this is my favorite episode so far
My new favorite podcast. Thanks!
This guy is fucking awesome! I've never seen Mike smile and laugh so much lmao!!
I go back and watch previous podcasts, I enjoy all of them, but this one particularly.
