Figured out my comments were being deleted because YT doesn't like links in the comments, so no more links to the advertisement sponsors. Totally wasn't Andy's fault. Hope everyone has a great week!
PS: Who wins a fight between Jocko armed with dildo nunchucks vs Mike Glover armed with a fleshlight on the end of a PVC pipe? GO!
Morning big mike
Lil Hero
Well, I guess Andy doesn't hate you anymore. Ty Michael
@@jordanjansco2611 Twas good ol' RUclips's fault. No fault on Andy.
@@migolio youre back in action!!
What I learned in the military "Never stand, when you can sit. Never sit, when you can lay down and never stay awake, when you can sleep, because you never know when you you will get another chance!"
FACTS🔥🔥
Not a combat vet just a peacetime vet but during my first itx I was a comm contact guy. We would go find the last known of a platoon or whatever if we don’t get radio checks and fix their shit. I ended up staying up for 3 days straight and was forced to go to sleep by a Cpl from another platoon. So yes you sleep when you can!
Don't forget to eat whenever you can, every time food is available.
One of the first things I would tell new guys as Section Leader.
Hurry up so we can wait, smoke em if you got em
When it starts with a pull off a whiskey bottle like that, you know its gonna be a good one 🇺🇸
Murica!
Now thats a Monday mornin!
I had to replay it! Was like "Is that iced tea??? No it IS whiskey!" holy shit...
Amen to that
Looks like a bottle of High West. Good shit
Sean is a shining example of a good person. The fact that, despite his background, he became such a well-rounded and level-headed person is an incredible testament to his character.
Fantastic episode. Far and away my favorite podcast right now.
He's a legend.
Outstanding conversation. Sean talking about his childhood was like reliving mine. It's incredibly important to hear other men reveal their vulnerabilities/experiences because we, as men, are typically just told to "man up.' This podcast provides an incredible service.
🙏
@@georgiamade892 yeyydyyrdddydo
I 💯% agree.
Probably the best Cleared Hot episode to date, and I've been listening since the beginning
agreed.
Agreed
Chadd Wright was a good one as well
One thing you gotta love is when a dude come one who was a former green beret and cop and first thing Andy want to know everything about is his time as a cook in the army
Thank you, Andy! And Sean! What a way to start a Monday!
"You can't be a victim when no one gives a sh**." Sean "Buck" Rogers, January 2021.
Crazy subbed to Buck like 3 months age when he had 1-2k subs he’s killing it now congrats
same here, i knew he'd blow up tho he's well spoken and interesting
Sean: Describes his bad leader experience on Andy's podcast.
Jocko: *Breathes heavily*
You forgot the extended silence. Hahahaha
@@mister.karate sorry i dont really get the joke, is jocko a bad leader or some incident he did that sparked this? If so what incident?
@@michaelt1931 Oh, no man Aman Singh's joke was just playing on the fact that Jocko tends to take deep breaths when discussing a heavy topic on his podcasts.
And my response is also because Jocko's podcasts have a lot of short pauses. Like several seconds of silence... and breathing 🤣
You'll get it if you watch his podcasts. Haha
And Jocko loves to talk about leadership of course
Ownership has entered the chat.
I left my department for similar reasons Buck mentioned. 1,000 word resignation letter. I drove away after the exit interview in tears. Didn't want to leave them, they left me.
Damn, 3 hours and I didn't want the conversation to end. Powerful and entertaining.
“He was all eggs in the basket with that maneuver” is my new favorite saying.
I'm not a super emotional guy, but watching this made me feel things I haven't in a long time. Thank you to both of you. A very powerful podcast!
De Oppresso Liber - “To free the oppressed.” Sean Rogers has lived the life of “the oppressed” & has freed himself. Now, he’s continuing to move forward by helping others. Well done!! I’ve just ordered your book. Thank you, Andy, for another terrific podcast. I pray each of you stay healthy, happy, & safe. :-)
From a Aussie fella, Just want to say buck Rogers beers n breakdown brought me here. And this really hit home for me and few different topics. I have been enjoying beers and breakdown and started watching more of your academy stuff which I think is super awesome keep up the good work mate. I been sprucing your content to my friends and yea. Nice work. Really enjoying these podcasts. You both talk alot logic and common sense. Thankyou
He seems so comfortable with Andy, I’m glad knowing by him talking about these past issues are helping him!
is there anything better than a Monday drop when Monday is Mondaying you harder than usual Monday's?
Wow I thought I was the only person that had to deal with this kind of stuff and seeing podcast like this really puts my life in perspective. I just wish I had heard these stories earlier in life because hearing them helps. Thanks Andy for providing the platform and thanks Sean for being willing to talk about the bad shit in your childhood.
I’m so sorry you had to endure that. You are your own hero to have survived such things. You have my compassion.
As I am not a native english speaker (yes, you have a French audience in case you din't know), I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to listen to you both discussing all these topics. "Buck" seems to be an awesome dude, and what he went through is really tough. Big respect to both of you, big respect for sharing these thoughts and stories, for your honesty and your sense of humor.
Regards
Man, hearing how he grew up reminds me of my own past. Growing up in an abusive household with a psychotic older brother who used to beat the shit out of me every day while my family watched and did nothing. Arguing, yelling, screaming, fighting, drug use, cops and crime every single day. I know pretty much know exactly what he's been through. I'm glad it got better for you, man. You're a really strong guy. This was an extremely good podcast.
So refreshing to see someone smash "the cycle" and get out a shit upbringing. Keep em coming Andy and keep it going Sean.
Andy:PLEASE tell me you went in as a cook
Sean:I did
Andy:YESSSSSSSS!!!😂😂😂
That got me 😂
Book purchased before I was even done watching this. Thank you both for the amazing discussion.
Thank you for the acronym translation for us civilians. Much appreciated.
2:48:25 Andy's reaction at this point plus the following "Fuck, man." is pretty much how I felt the entire podcast.
One of the best I've listened to so far. Dudes had me laughing several times.
Sean; I hope you will go see a good therapist; I did and it changed by life. Smartest thing I ever did. I found out that while my parents were wrong, they had their problems too, AND KNOWING ALL THAT didn’t change the fact that only I could fix ME. You’ve done well - keep going!
Hands down one of the best conversations I've heard in my life.
This is one of the most powerful and insightful podcast interviews that I have ever watched. Andy has a an innate ability to connect with those that he interviews and draw out the essence of what makes them who they are thru their experiences. I Love Sean's brutal honesty and ability to take a critical look at his own mistakes as well as his personal growth. IMO that says a LOT about his humility and character.
Sorry you had to go through that as a kid Sean. I keep commenting because different parts make me have a different reaction. I had a fucked up childhood as well and don’t wish that on anyone. Glad that you turned out the way you did brother. Much love, semper fi
Blessed be this day,
when great men came together.
Wow, that’s a lot of stuff in this pod cast. Very brave of Sean to expose hisself and his past. It takes a lot to unload this stuff to the world. Great job guys. Keep it up.
One of the best if not the best podcasts I have ever heard. I thought I had it tough as a kid but Sean’s story puts shit into perspective.
Andy and Sean, thank you so much for taking the time and sharing this powerful story. So many of Seans life rings so close to home for my own childhood. I am looking forward to picking up the book and reading it. Thank you again
Love listening to Sean. I could not turn it off. Andy was spot on with his interview skills. Get the whisky ready this episode delivers!
Doooooooood. I just saw this. Now my day just got better. Can’t wait to hear this one! I love BOTH these guys. Role models, bad asses, solid solid guys, and heroes both.
Andy this was great. Sean is a Badass dude. You can tell he’s a savage who tames his beast and is a great person. Thank you for this one.
After all that he has gone through, I now realize that my excuses are just stupid.
Self analysis...... Respect Bro! I totally agree with you!!!
INCREDIBLE pod cast!!!! LOVED this one!!! So honest, so vulnerable, fantastic!! You guys being able to have these difficult conversations and making it "ok" to do SO.....soooo many people you're touching!!!!
Man I'm stoked for this one! Been watching Buck on his channel FNG for a while and look forward to his story!
This has to be one of the best podcast I've ever heard thank you you guys are two of the coolest things that ever lived.
I thought people were outraged that the soldiers were sleeping in a garage. Not that they were lazy but thats the enviroment they were forced to sleep in.
Agreed.
Probably tied for 1st as the most powerful podcast you’ve done Andy. ( The bullying lady is the other one) Sean, you are an awesome human being sir. Thank you for your military and police service and Keep Hammering!!
This podcast gave me so many laughs throughout. Andy, we’re all fortunate that you have taken the bull by the horns to do podcasting. You two are great humans, as are all your guests! 💪
This is by far the best podcast I've watched in a long time.......
Highly recommended
Rewatched this podcast you guys are being role models for so many people just by sharing your experience and your resilience its inspiring man thank you
“Why don’t you tell me about it” is 100% my favorite thing to say to Commissioned bois
Out of all the guests you've had. I identify with Sean the most as fas as our childhoods go. Awesome dude and mad props for turning that frown upside down.
Wonderful episode. It's really something to hear about how someone navigates the ups and downs of the human experience. Definitely appreciate hearing this conversation.
Epic show! Kudos to Sean for being so open and honest about his life experiences. Keep up the great content Andy.
This is my favorite guest so far. I can relate with a lot of it. A lot of the same demons if you will. Much respect.
By far the most accurate, sensitive, honest description of psychological challenges law enforcement officers face on a daily basis that I have watched thus far. Mental health counseling is an issue you guys poignantly stated is largely ignored by almost everyone concerning law enforcement. Thanks to both of you, and Sean, goddammit, thanks for pouring your heart out bro! Andy, absolutely on point, riveting interview.
Amazing story!!! As a mom My heart hurts for his childhood. So thankful he rose above and came out the other side. Thanks for sharing and setting an example to others. And a great example of how people should come together to make positive change God bless.
Incredible story of resilience! Thanks for sharing your success at life and overcoming!
One of the best episodes to date.
28:17
Oh my god 🤣 how happy was Andy when Steven Seagal got brought up 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like Sean watches the podcast
Best episode so far. Thank you both.
As a non service member but someone who looks up to guys like yall and anyone who has ever served I really enjoyed this podcast and I have watched this a few times now and I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you guys for what you did and what your brothers continues to do.
Mad respect! Everyone I know was mad they slept on concrete not that they were sleeping.
Yeah I think they aren’t looking at it like that because that’s actually a nice sleeping arrangement compared to what they got overseas lol. People don’t think about that part
8:09 guest introduction
Come in clutch when nguyen ain't around
Andy, keep this going. Great pod cast, love your sense of humor, and your thoughtfulness in the way you interview folks.
I LOVE THESE PODS! Sean "Buck" Rogers was a great guest!
Powerful story. Ill be getting his book.
What an episode!!! Andy has become the all around military podcast.... love jocko n min immensely but Andy is just a great fun dude 🇺🇸
Really enjoy listening to both of you. Appreciate Sean telling his story and Andy for having him on.
Very powerful, kudos for having the courage to share 😊
OUTSTANDING INTERVIEW and a great person Sean Rogers.
Dude. My feelings or lack there of, for my mother, mirrors yours exactly. There is a black void where she should be.
I gained an insane amount of respect for Sean after watching this. Watching his youtube channel I never thought I would relate to him on so many levels but I do. IDK if I'm subbed to him but will be now for whatever that's worth
My grandfather was a cook in the Army during WW2 and it gave him a great career after. He went on to be a chef for an Italian restaurant for 30 years. Granted, it was owned by the local mob, but they all loved him even though he was Chinese and they paid him extremely well.
Man this dude has such a similar story of abuse. I was going to join the military at 18 years old. Cut my toe off with a lawnmower and had to go through a year of physical therapy to learn to walk again. Thankfully my life has really turned around since then. Thanks for sharing, even if it wrenched my gut to listen to those parts
At 41:00 oh man. I teared up. Keeping it real.
Love this podcast! Awesome job Andy and Sean..thanks for sharing and bringing about awareness for us LEOs...You are spot on..rotating off the street and having resources available..safe resources would make our profession exponentially better. It will get worse before it gets better I am afraid. Andy...I think you would have made an awesome Green Beret!
Raw and real. That is why I love this channel!
"9mm Vest, Pistol and a grenade launcher with no ammo..." I have so many questions for that guy...
he forgot the infinite ammo cheat so he had to borrow the 40mm
Ground Branch is my bet. Can't fire his AK because SF might accidentally smoke him...
1:19:40 - this hit so close to home man. When I got to work with ODAs down range (I was infantry), I was on the Mk-47 one fire fight and I was SO not paying attention (it was my first fire fight and my head was everywhere) and I was returning fire with my weapon system, fired some 40mm at this house we were getting shot at from, didnt notice the little stick trees in my line of fire and ALSO didnt notice our Echo took a few ALP with him to move across the field and flank the house. My rounds were hitting the stick trees and all of them just exploding right over the echos head. thankfully, him and the ALP guys were totally fine - to this day thinks it was an RPG that was fired at him (if youre reading this bro - sorry you found out this way hahahaha) and man, for weeks it ran through my head over and over and over that I seriously made a big fucking mistake. I did eventually own up to my own mistake and just learned from it and it made me a better soldier but I totally see where that mindset comes from. it sucks
Hell yeah been looking forward to seeing Sean sense he mentioned he would be on. Two of my favorite guys together at last
I love this guy…. One of my favorite podcasts, ever.
This guy had it tough. Best question of the whole interview, "Are you doing that on your own or do you have outside help?" Then see the reaction to that answer... Yeah that is exactly how I felt. I hope it all works out the best. IMHO First step is putting your hat on straight. ;) Just saying. Thanks for having him on.
I was having the same question when he asked it
Was following both andy and buck for a long time. i knew this was coming as soon as sean mentioned he was in montana awesome
Thank you Andy. Wow, Sean is an amazing person, thank you for bringing his story to everyone. You Sir have stood up a platform that your pal Joe Rogan should be thrilled to know you're crushing it. Keep well Mr. Stumph.
I love watching these types of podcasts. Listening to them unload heavy shit n how much it takes to do that... it blows me away. I think more people should watch these, hear the message, learn from other people’s experience and grow as a person. This is truly powerful stuff. Thank y’all 🤙🏽🇺🇸
I tune in to the cleared hot podcast for my daily dose of sarcasm
LOL “you’re talking about a non garage setting?”
One of the best Cleared Hot podcasts, ever.
It's channels like these and people like Andy and Sean and Jocko that are literally saving men's lives. It's nice to hear men talk about stuff that is REAL.
Sean's book drops February 23rd and I will be ordering my copy.
Sean's story and life is inspiring. Everyone should hear it. What an incredible human being.
Hey Andy, hope you’re well. I know Jocko has done it five or six times, but I think you interviewing John Stryker Meyer (AKA Tilt) would be amazing if you haven’t thought about it.
Oh fuck yeah. 2 of my favorite Americans in 1 podcast: Andy Stumpf and Bob Ross
Just slap the fuck outa it!!! Best bob ross impersonation EVER!
Phenomenal podcast! I thought it was well rounded. I love the military stories, but the profound personal conversations matter a lot as well. Kudos to you Andy, you're an underrated interviewer. I love forward to your content!
Alot of us found that sense of belonging, brotherhood, discipline, guidance, etc... in the military. it was the best thing I could have done to support my family as best as I could. Whatever you do in the military, thank you for your service. Persevere and Prosper!!
On women in SF - Jocko spoke with Dean Stott about this. He put a woman through the SAS training knowing that if they didn't, the higher ups would've lowered the standards because they wanted women in SF.
Wheelbarrow? I always thought the E.O.D. people rode their gigantic balls to the battle space like Randy Marsh.
What an amazing podcast. I can relate to some of these topics. So inspirational. Thank you so much guys.
That was a fantastic and uplifting thing to listen to. I appreciate the candid nature and I can relate in a LOT of ways. Good on both of ya.
Fuckkkk yessss been waiting on this since I’ve heard the rumor, finna go into work as well so that’s even more of a bet
My dad had flashbacks. It's fucking gnarly too. It was so prevalent for him that he taught us from an early age to stay away if he was having one. If we heard him get up and move around more than normal in the middle of the night, we were to hide in the closet. I remember one vividly. I watched him from my bedroom window, army crawling through the front yard. He was yelling & making sound effects. It was so wild. Like he legitimately thought he was back in the jungle fighting for his life.
Woe. That's crazy. And very sad for him. No one wants to be that way, they need help and don't get it. Sorry I went through that. I hope it did not effect your view of him. He was obviously a Fkn trooper!
God bless.
@@adamwhitfield5571 yeah, his life & mine would have been much different had he gotten the care he needed & deserved from VA. What he got was a back pack full of pills. He is and always will be my hero. We had it tough. Single dad raising a daughter all on his own then add the mental & physical issues that come from being a war fighter? So hard. I miss him terribly.
@@samneedsanap7802 I understand. Believe me. I do. He was human. Were all humans just trying to figure out life. I find that people demonize or speak in jest about a soldier and flashbacks, but that's easy to do when you take out that he's human, a soldier, and an American man. As well as a father who loves his children.
Yeah thanks for sharing that, made me think.
Reminds me of a comedian Theo Von quote:
Life... Just jumped up and surprised all of us.
@@adamwhitfield5571 fkin Theo Von man, that dude says some amazing shit! "Life... it just jumps up and suprises us all"! Epic!!
@@AMG-316 100%
Plus I live in Denham springs, like 25 min from his childhood interstate exit. Lol
3 am thought I was going to be able to sleep, then you discover a real conversation. Thank you for your service.
Great podcast! Good on you, Sean, for taking those excuses and turning them into tools to become a better person. Not only become a better person but, to help others become better.
