I really appreciate how open and vulnerable both of you are. It’s inspiring to see two strong men of character be so open about life and challenges they have faced. Much love!
The two quotes that really hit home for me (30yr male) came from my buddies dad. "Real work doesn't start until you get home from work" and "your body is a machine, and theres two ways to break it. Either you stop using it, or you work it until it breaks"
Thanks for plugging the 75 hard. It’s easy making excuses when in pain and tired to slam energy drinks and not getting up and moving. Sounds like an awesome program.
Greg, Such an incredible approach to living life & creating the path & routines that you decide is best for you. If I could do one thing differently it would be to read. Read anything & everything I could get my hands on. It is the best & most beneficial thing a person can do.
"There's something going on here" that I've never seen mentioned in these conversations. My parents generation considered it a part of THEIR self-esteem that they could say "our kids have an easier life than we did." That is baked into many parents, and they act on it but we never talk openly about that in our society. It's a big unconscious factor that really runs a lot of parents.
Just finished forming up my hat I’m all in now just subbed to Greg’s podcast to be serious I think the dude is spot on can’t wait to check out the podcast
Cleared Hot, Endless Endeavor and the Shawn Ryan show are the 3 best podcasts out there right now.🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🤙 Greg you might have to start growing your hair 😁
I’ve applied to become a police officer 3 times in my once-small, now large suburban central Texas hometown. Even though I’m close friends some very-involved LEO’s, agency guys, and former SF/SO, my local PD’s won’t even consider me because I don’t have enough college credits, and my DD214 isn’t good enough. Me having grown up on the local streets & having been exposed to a whole lot of street-level situations is irrelevant to them. Meanwhile, they hired a goofy/quirky baseball-player civilian guy who I grew up going to school with, and he went on to forcibly pull a black female veteran out of her car at a traffic stop, and then continued assaulting her on the ground when the situation simply didn’t call for it. He then resigned ASAP as per the advice of his legal counsel. I’m not sure if a law suit or a settlement then followed, although it probably did. I wish guys like me without on-paper qualifications would at least get considered for our other attributes & experiences.
Andy's 100% on point regarding that BUDs/NY Times piece. Entire tone of that article is the big push for lowering the rigorous SEAL training standards ...AKA.... letting a variety of weaker turds become operators. Many in leadership positions of US Gov want that to happen badly.
What caught me was your adherence to the constitution. I am retired leo and was smfh at cops who were enforcing those restrictions, violating peoples rights.
I get that, & I even agree with it/you, but are you also shaking your fur hat (I hope I got that right) when cops violate people's rights in other ways...ways that don't happen to be hyper partisan at the moment? The answer is no, of course it's no, & it's because too many of us are becoming way too animated by whatever it is that the political/media conglomerate deems is on the list currently. We, Americans, used to have a middle...a center where most of its citizens lived, but now the center is all but gone, replaced over night by far left vs. far right, with everyone on both sides agreeing on only one thing...that they must be correct, & that if the other side gets even an inch, the freaking world will come to an end. I've gone from rolling my eyes to being actually concerned, in the span of just a few years. Have a great weekend sir.
@scott sherman actually the answer is yes. The constitution is not partisan. You may even find some of my remarks on pods where like the northeastern cop shot the guy in the back of the head. Or various incidents where guys not only forget tactics but perception. In the first case he may have been justified but he could have broke contact and IF the suspect continued his assault he would have been easily cleared. This is the age we live in where you HAVE to be aware of perception and make sure you act not only according to policy but in a way there is no mistake. Even then, like some others we've said, you can do everything right and a partisan DA will come after you.
Not only has the quality of candidates degraded, there’s also a shit-ton more people signing up. So even if the actual number of guys that made it stayed the same, that percentage of success shrinks. Then winter classes vs summer classes. So on and so on. MOPs & MOEs took a good deep dive into it on their podcast.
PSTD. My grandfather spent 4 years at the Russian front. And until the day he died he would have severe flashbacks and suffer from insomnia. Horrible for anyone to suffer for 60 years.
Interesting that he got fired, and Breanna Straus from the Capital Way, WA PD got a 1 day suspension for doing her video in uniform in her duty vehicle.
1:18:50 Right on! Except here in Canada AR-15s are illegal, but the "covid mandate enforcers" wouldn't dare step through the door of the bjj gym to face a bunch of thick necked cauliflower eared sweaty dudes. And our police for the most part, except for some jurisdictions, said we arent playing these games. This is when you find for real whos got balls.
Love the show as always. The first kinda segment about the people in the comments who go at you for mis speaking or whatever. That’s one thing. But the dietary stuff, that’s open game. You can’t have it both ways. The government and science go together. You can’t buy all the way what one tells you, and exclude the other. So as a nutrition professional. I would say that everyone is demonizing carbs. Even people in the profession. What the science is Actually saying, is that it doesn’t matter where you get the calories from, just don’t over eat, and make sure you get your nutrients. Carbs aren’t bad. The science actually says that the more you come away from certain kind of meats and fats, the better you will do. We don’t have to guess or experiment in labs, we just have to look outside of America. And it’s not finding one population, it’s considering the bulk of what healthy people all over the world are doing, and that is, a diet with healthy fats, whole grains, lean meat, servings of vegetables and fruits, and portion control. How you dice the pie up after that, is completely up to you. But that’s what it is. So note to my anti gov warriors. if you don’t trust what they say on one front, it literally should open up all the other fronts as well. Meaning that we need to be fit, yes. Go through challenges, yes. But MORE than that, and I know Andy does a great job at it, but we have to critically think, and think for OURSELVES. We’ll get on people for letting the government think for them in regards to pandemic, but you let the government think for you when it comes to diet, religion, science, people, purpose. So I find that, even under the guise of government dissatisfaction and agitation, is a perfectly tailored government 🧢 for just those thoughts. They’ve been at this for centuries, so we need to learn to see all the illusions, not just the glaring ones.
'Cause Greg asked...Hey Andy, I served in the Army and was run over by a humvee. Full right hip displacement. Years later, bursitis and staring at a hip replacement, like Greg, I said no and went down the "weirdness" options. I went from using a cane and regular hip pain--more severe in certain weather--to "self-healing" and ZERO PAIN. Fully functional. If it f@ckin' works... MUCH BETTER than becoming an opiate junkie. With two young kids--I wasn't going to let THAT happen. And the Universe delivered.
You need to interview Jason Mark Everman. Played guitar for Nirvana and Sound Garden. Became a Ranger and Green Beret tours of Iraq and Afganistan. Got to be a cool dude to interview.
No they aren’t dude😂😂😂 there is legitimately so many delta interviews out there. Ever heard of bob keller? Brian gilligan? Tyler grey? Shrek McPhee? Jamie Caldwell? Those are just a few and all of them have long form interviews….this is a common thing people say all the time and it’s not true at all.
@@andy47456 all of what I just said are guys who do long form conversations of in depth delta talk. Bob Keller and Brian gilligan did an amazing podcast with a third guy from delta and they told tons of war stories and all the other good stuff people actually wanna hear. The narrative that delta are quiet professionals should have been dead a long time ago. There is a percentage of these tier one guys who are going to talk…and then there is the other guys who never will. Both development group and the unit have guys from both sides.
On the note of a weaker generation, I'm 29 and I got a guy at work (welder at a nuclear power plant) who is about 5 years younger then me who told me that he can't cook. he can cook pasta and when the weekend rolls around and he can't eat at the cantina at work he said he mostly eat at his sisters house if he dosen't order food. He shows resilience when work get tough and can't do simple tasks because a lack of strenght. It's scary how weak alot of this generation is.
I am a 2nd degree black-belt in taekwondo and taught it for several years. Most of the black belt adults could not get their legs high enough to kick above the waist. Pathetic. I view my taekwondo experience as exercise only. Sparring was fun but no one ever really push it like a real fight. I concur BJJ is the best to learn. Striking is easier to learn than learning how to control someone on the ground.
Who knew just how prophetic The Terminator actually was. The machines will kill us, Andy's right we might have to nukes ourselves. Cleared Hot and FAF 🤘, Endless Endeavor is awesome too. 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Car show closest to sealant coat vendor. Good guy .. spoke Greek to me … what could I do .. sign up and be on his team. Figured this get attention of then alive Duke of Edinburgh .. at least it was above 20 F out .
Couple things, that is a good cop that got fired for telling the truth. Dim Mak is real, My Kung Fu is from the 80s and its real? Great podcast!! Five Fucking Stars!!
For people who dont know Greg stood up against corrupt cops who were enforcing illegal mandates on citizens during the lockdowns and the Kool aid drinking cops cast him out for it. He's the real deal and I do not use that term lightly. Also I was in the Army SOF community and Greg represents us well.
Great interview gentlemen. Thank you! Sane guy in WA is priceless! Joe Kent for the win. @wolf21 life saver! Once I took it as I should (daily). Sleep better than I ever have. 6 months success!
yea, there's no tapping in the street. if i get a leg, neck, arm, ect, i'm breaking it or you're going to sleep. anyone who trains or who has trained fantasizes about basically tooling up a child, which is about 95 percent of the population who doesn't train.
Andy might say this as I'm still listening. But, 11 have died in training since its inception. Say the training was made easier and 6 had died - how many more would die in combat from training being made easier............
Guys, F-Bombs should not be in every sentence. Try a 75 Hard to clean up your language. You can direct a “fuck you” at me but you know I’m right. There are young men and women watching your show. Use Jocko’s guidance on the use of profanity.
@ 1:42:30 ish 33 degrees is part of the Masonic rank structure. So, the number triggers ppl. Not that they bother to LEARN much about the significance of said symbols, numbers, etc. But the Masons are rumored to be naughty. Depends who you ask.
