    I'm in my 40s, same age as Andy. Because of this video, I'm done drinking. I put it down hard nowadays. 12pack a night. Throw in bourbon on the weekend. No one has ever said I'm killing myself and to stop.

    First time listener and glad I found your podcast! I'm a senior man of my shift as a career firefighter 27 years. Can't agree more with the tough standards we once knew that defined us, now being downgraded to allow for weaker individuals to become firefighters. We see the same kinder, gentler standards for this generation. Weakens the future! I'm a follower Andy, and thank you for your service!

    I've been waiting for Bito to get on a podcast. I've been following him for a while. Dudes a legit badass operator.

Him and I talked about it and he filled me in on some info that alot of people dont know

    • @mudd024
      @mudd024 3 года назад +3

      @@jamessantellan2356 goggins wasnt about the brotherhood or wasnt about combat. He was in it for training and exercise. When he was in iraq he didnt go on a mission because he wanted to work out and because of that he got barred from going on ops while in Iraq..they didnt let him leave the base. If you notice in his book and interviews he never talks about being in combat. He chased training not combat. The other seals that yeah hes strong and they like that he encourages people to be healthy and motivates people to do good In life but that's it. There are people that want the title of being a navy seal but they arent team guy's. Its hard to understand, andy Stumpf talks about that also about how there are people that are navy seals then there are "Team Guys". Goggins was a navy seal but he wasnt a team guy like his andy Stumpf talks about. Goggins was just about training and proving to himself he can do it. He becomes a Seal, then basically becomes a Navy Seal recruiter and spokes person and the guy they put in navy seal commercials. Goes to ranger school and graduates at the top of his class but never does anything with it (operational wise, he just graduates and does nothing with it) try's out for Delta because he heard they have a hard selection course. He never pulled his trigger downrange and chose going to the gym and getting a workout in over going on missions with his team. He was a beast and went hard in training but that's it....I cant articulate it like how bito did when he told me about this but Goggins was black balled in the Seal Teams, that's the main reason why they didnt let him try out for DEVGRU (Team six) because they knew he wasnt about the brotherhood and the team and thst he just wanted to join for the title and for hard training and not because he wanted to kill bad guys and fight for America and to defend his brother's. If you read his book think about it, he never talks about combat, he does talk about being deployed overseas but never talks about combat or being in fire fights thats because he never was in any because they didnt allow him on ops

    Kudos Andy, Andy, and Dan. It's funny, so many profound things spoken of, but of all, the strangest thing is how we STILL cannot engineer SEALs. Roids, genetics u name it. But it is simple. There are actually many more people who could complete training, they just wouldn't want to. Subsequent live field tests have proven this, again and again. The desire cannot be manufactured.

    Goddamn. I came here (watched it on TV) to type a comment to Dan Cerillo, thanking him for that amazing work. How I felt down and his talk around 1h and 30-40 mins in really had a good mental impact and even cheered me up a bit. Something being a stubborn son of a bitch makes near impossible at times. And find out he's gone. Sometimes feel things are stacked against the greatest of people, such as all three of you. But the work he did won't be undone, and I really hope it carries on by others similar-minded. Rest in well-earned peace.
    And Andy, don't have a fucking heart attack, please. Take it easy. Countless people would be sad, we have expectations of ex-DEVGRU guys, one being if you see a heart attack, you put that fucker down. I know they're sneaky, but so are you. Take in what the FBI negotiator himself told you about his opinion of you recently, and consider nobody AFAIK has had the balls-weight to ask some of what you asked him. Jocko's talk with him was lighthearted; yours was honest; and both were spectacular, won't compare the two. That earned you a few tons of respect, regardless of how few and how tiny shits you give about that. In the words of Tarantino, “you're Andy fucking Stumpf, and don't you forget it.”
    And Andy Arrabito, seems like just the fucking perfect dude to simply hang with, love the character and personality. In retrospect, that makes it obvious why you were named after Stumpf. One of those guys you see and think, “man, that dude's a great friend and person, right there.” Hard to explain in a sentence or two.

    At 43:50 that guy is such a RAT! Also I love Andy's take on hazing. Its where it comes from. If you are just doing it to beat people down thats a problem. Its should be some suck that everyone goes through to build camaraderie with that they all did that same thing. Its up to those in charge though to have a firm grasp on what is going too far.
