I’m Not Sober, I’ve Just Learned to Deal with It | Mat Best | Ep 67 | The Glenn Beck Podcast 

at least Mat didnt snap his fingers and put Glenn in a bikini

Seems like a smart , tough guy with a lot of humility.. Very rare trait these days.. and a United States 🇺🇸 Veteran .. I wish him a long... healthy.. prosperous life ☮️🙏🏼

I’m glad I come from a country that produces Men like Mat, makes you feel like their is hope.

"I definitely became more and more conservative." ABSOLUTELY correct.

I’m 30, a conservative in Ca, 5 years sober, ex navy, buried lots of friends and family members, went to jail. I would not go back and do anything differently because I have perspective and I thank God every day. Life humbled me because of overcoming adversity and that has given me gratitude for where my life is now. 3 children and a beautiful wife. Liberals simply have had it too easy and they are the most ignorant people in the world.

"We're born terminal" Mat Best. EPIC!

Mat is an American hero. 4 months later, he was prophetic when he discussed the division leads to rioting leading to something else .

His audiobook "Thank you for my Service" is one of the most entertaining and emotionally vibrant things I've ever heard.

Glenn doesn't really interview people...he has conversations with them. There is a big difference between the two.

Mat Best is a remarkable guy. I love how he mentions emotional fitness and the macabre humor of the military. Lots of other things he mentions is great but, those two resonate the most with a lot of veterans. I still have lots of (at least I think I do) emotional growth to go through even after serving 10 years in the USAF. Like him I had an alcohol problem and struggled. Now I'm trying to reinvent myself in the civilian world

Loved to see this 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 2nd bat best bat RLTW

who else is about fkn tired of seeing mike bloomberg ads ?

I adore Mat and the rest of the crew at Black Rifle Coffee. Great interview. And same, I’m not sober, I’ve just learned to deal with it.

- MATT BEST, 🇺🇸 YOU ARE A TRUE AMERICAN HERO! No words will ever be enough to thank u an your friends that help our Vets an do what u do everyday with out thinking an without doing it for a pat on the back but because u want to because it's what is right an what ur heart tells u u have to do people like u r a dying breed and it's a awful thing to think about. That the popular thing now a days is to be anti gov., an to hate to people like u , Patriots , an to hate this country. Because with out hero's like u an the others that fight everyday to keep us safe an able to sleep at night with out fear an able to get up in the morning an do what we love no matter what it is. An that allows these people to sit around thinking of ways to hate this country. We need more like u in this world. 🇺🇸 GOD BLESS & THANK YOU FOR EVERY THING U HAVE DONE! 🇺🇸

I love Becks radio show, but major respect to Mat for tolerating Glenn’s constant interruptions of completing a thought or story. Extra kudos to Mat having rapid responses to Becks tangents and constant topic changing.

Ok I'm just starting this video, but I can't contain how excited I am for you to have this man on your channel. He's the guy that pulled me away from just using RU-vid to fix my trucks/cars.

Mat is a true American and makes me proud to be one. Thank you for your dedication and service. We need more people like you.

Great interview Glenn! Thank you for your selfless service Mat. GOD bless you both!!

Mat Best for US President in 2024!!! Grabbing this country by the horns, and making it even better again. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What a humble man he is, I've seen most of his videos and bought some of the BRCC and never thought he was this way. Thank you for your service Mat and people from the BRCC.

Matt you are the Best. I just turned 34. I went to the Finnish Army at 19 and got a years training in long distance recon as E4. Got managment tools, dealing with stress and time. Thinking on your feet when shit hits the fan. Now as a professional chef and bouncer for years that crash course has helped a lot.

Correction he was a contractor with the REDACTED.

Don’t get me wrong, I love BRCC. But it is what they stand for that got me to buy the coffee in the first place.

I’m a Latter Day Saint and love the Black Rifle Co. Their merchandise is awesome. Mr Best is also a great writer his books are very informative.

We're all born terminal... One of the best quotes ever...

Good stuff. BRCC coffee subscription is great. ❤️🇺🇸 Wonderful to have companies who are pro America, pro Patriotism and support the 2nd. Thanks BRCC!

Jesus Beck, let him finish a thought

I really enjoyed how he kept interrupting Mat, just before he was about ready to answer a serious question that we all looked forward to.

Good to see that Stiffler landed on his feet.

Thank you for your service Mat and to the other veterans out there! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Had the pleasure of hanging out with Matt at a bar

I buy my Black Rifle Coffee at the Nine Line store in Savannah GA. 60 gunner here and I love my soldiers that I was more than proud to support. Guns up.....30 seconds. GOD bless you both for the great conversation

Glen Beck, you may not be a war vet, or a hero from Blackhawk Down, but your role here is of equal importance!!! You are a HERO (you're definitely one of mine), a good MAN, and a true AMERICAN!!! Thank you for all the hard work, you are a PATRIOT.

Voting to make me defenseless has a way of making me angry, must be me. '

Best interview yet. Nothing was scripted. Make this more real and Honest. Thank you Glen and Mat

Awesome interview!!! Thank you both for being a good light to follow!!! 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

Introversion is sweet, you don’t necessarily want to avoid interaction, but you can recognize why you don’t want to waste a lot of false energy.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="368">06:08</a> “The guys with a sense of humor, that worked through the hardest situations… “

Dude. You articulate what many of us understand. Thank you.

Cigars and whiskey. The path to enlightenment.

Ive wanted to buy the Black Rifle Coffee but the shipping really adds to the cost. I think this coffee would go over well in Canada if you could do a branch up here. Or connect with a Canadian vet. Mat is a very sensible, likeable guy.

And remember your Military training. A life saving skill.

As a veteran, it’s so nice seeing people like Mat, Dakota, Evan and so on represent our community. Social media gives a great platform to get the content out there and these guys are the ones treading the bullshit to tell our story. Thank you!

Matt, you crushed this and remained true to your beliefs and didn't take the bait (one side or the other). Always a fan and patron.

Great show Mr Glenn Beck! I wish that I could have had half of the drive and awareness of this young man when I got out..... Congrats on your success!

Even though I have no tattoo after 10 years of operation in war zones, I respect Mat Best

Thanks Glenn and Mat. Believe me, your humor has grounded and inspired many. God bless.

Mat thank you for everything you have done! I use you as an example to follow to my veteran friends in Ukraine. Anything is possible!

Awesome! Love both these cats!

I have followed Mat and his antics for several years, he is a great guy. Oh, DEFINITELY try Black Rifle Coffee if you enjoy a great cup of Joe!

Veteran Patriots that make great coffee and take care of their own with a HUGE amount of humility (may be hard to see if your blind), awesome sense of humor and understand and truly believe in the constitution for everyone; that 's why I drink Black Rifle Coffee.

2 people whom I Respect to no end, ( thank you Mat for your service to this great country ) This re-affirms my belief in Humanity and I thank you for this amazing interview. I have so much respect for our military and half or more of my family went into service, I have made it my mission as a father to instill basic good values in my children and my little 9 year old and I constantly thank Vets for their service and I feel so fortunate to share this country with them. Bless you Both.

Sweet! I love Mat Best and the guys at Black Rifle coffee and all of the great military comedy videos they do. If you are reading this and have no idea who Mat is, look up his "how to be Tacticool" vid😂 or my personal fav. Christmas songs shooting steel targets like playing the xylophone. What I wouldn't give to party with these guys😂😂👍 can't wait!!! No...no...wait I just remembered his movie Range 15!😃 they have everybody in that movie from Marcus Luttrell to Randy Couture! Too many great names to mention. If you like zombies , and you like tactical Ranger stuff and goofy but super funny military comedy check out range 15.😌👍

Every time Matt reaches for his dip cup the camera changes, too funny.

"They work." Great answer! I am a Veteran, and I have had NO trouble succeeding in anything I have taken on in life. The reason: I work harder than everyone else, without even realizing I am doing it. It's in the mindset, and it never goes away. You see the task(s) before you, and there is no bullshit clouding your mind between you and the task. When it's time to work...you just do the f__king work. You are actually surprised when people compliment you about this (and they do...alot), because to you...you aren't doing anything special. You are just treating your work...normally. A great benefit of that, if you are so inclined, is that you start to realize that no Non-Veterans can keep up with you, so you are not afraid to tell the boss to stuck it and break out on your own. I got my business degrees right after getting out, worked for others for a few years after college...and then spent most of my career running my own businesses. I NEVER found any difficulty making a living, and although I went to college...it was the military that caused my lifelong success.

Big fan of this patriot and warrior. Love him. We need more guys like him.

I’m happy I watched Donut Operators video so I got a behind the scenes look at Mat before this interview.

Family of Marines, and he joined the army🤯 There’s hope for our political divide in this country yet! Semper Fi

Nice interveiw. Been watching Mat and his epic youtube stuff for a while and just love it. Vet turned entrepreneur. What an inspiring guy. A shining example of the best this country produces!!!🇺🇸

Great interview. I loved the comment about the “golden era for veterans.” It’s the best it’s ever been for sure, and it’s getting better. I also loved the book Thank You For My Service by Mat Best. Great guy

I love the section around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2280">38:00</a> where Mat lays it out and explains how the entire world doesnt need to be his customer. The most successful company's sell to a targeted audience. You lose a lot (including who you are and what you stand for) when you focus too much on appealing to the masses.

So cool. Pumped for this

I hope there are more young men like Mat out there. America desperately needs them.🇺🇸

Really enjoyed listening to Mat and who he is on a more personal level. God broke the mold with you.

Mat is an incredible example of THE "American Dream". Mat HAS had some just "Dumb Luck" (having someone call him out of the blue, that not only said, "We've got to get you back to work, back to what you LOVE"; but also having the resources/connections to make it happen). But Mat would have been Mat regardless. He's just that Charismatic Leader that you would do anything for. If I were in a position to Mentor a young person today? I would certainly point to Mat as someone to emulate and look up to. One of the things that makes Mat MAT is his desire and ability to do everything he does to his absolute BEST (no pun intended, but appreciated none the less).

Wow. Dude sounds just like me...maybe there’s something to this whole military service thing!🇺🇸

This guy is my Hero in life! Love ya Mat! You sir are a beast and have my highest respect.

Thank you for your service God Bless.

In 2015 I supported Sanders, in part because: 1) I knew I didn't want HRC, 2) what I saw concerning Trump made him appear no better, 3) the Libertarian appeared ignorant of basic facts about the world, and 4) Sanders was wrong on 90% but would at least address a couple of my issues indirectly, and I felt he was the only one listening sufficiently to perhaps try and avoid a civil war. I ended up voting for Jill Stein because I couldn't find a reset button for everyone to choose a different candidate and try again. Since then, the President and the Democratic Party have convinced me that President Trump is not merely the best possible outcome, but the best G-d intended outcome possible. After being 'unfriended' by most of those whom I knew in college, in the military, in high school, and had as friends since then due to my unwillingness to be a Leftist, to denounce G-d, to pretend the sacred is make-believe, to renounce 'a priori' values/negative rights, to agree to the destruction of the Constitution, to define myself as evil because of the genetics with which I was born, and decry myself as the epitome of tyranny because of the sex organs between my legs I no longer give a crap: I no longer care if we avoid a civil war. I am not capable of surviving one, but I don't care about that either. My tolerance for the Left, for the urban idiots, is done. They are traitors to everything it means to be an American and everything it must always mean to be an American.

Another Great Show!! Welcome Mat.. And Thank you so much for your Service. 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸

After seeing his videos way back in 2014. I never would've thought he was a very reserved and well spoken guy. Loved the interview. He really speaks a lot of truth in how veterans thought while serving and while getting out.

This is an awesome look at a soldier, a true patriot and an executive of a large company. Mat is truly an honest American in the true sense of the word and with what’s happening now in the US I know for a fact he’ll come out winning.

In the early 80's there were places outside of base that had signs that read "sailors and dogs keep off the grass" I made it a point to take those shortcuts :)

Glenn “You can tell with 90% accuracy what you buy at the grocery store who you voted for” Me: That’s crazy (out loud) Mat: That’s crazy Glenn: That’s crazy

Dear Mr. Beck you and Mr. Best know the true meaning of VALOR ,I think that is what is lacking with this generation today . Thank You for standing tall !

Brilliant...love Mat Best. Thank you for your service!

Glenn, my first time watching: PLEASE let your guest finish their comments or stories and STOP INTERRUPTING, hold your tongue until they're done, then share your thought. It's rude and frustrating to listen to the interview. You stray off and go all over the place.

Mat is a trip!

"The rain makes you enjoy the sunshine..." or however he put it...makes the point perfectly! I am a Veteran. But I am older now. I served at the end of the Cold War. I was in during Desert Storm, but my ship was headed for the shipyards, so I did not personally go over. I am just a regular Vet, not a combat Vet, who left the service in 1992. Then, 9 years after I got out, 3 years after I graduated college, 9-11 happened. Wars started happening one after the next, and so the need for Sailors, Marines and Soldiers to go fight all of these wars increased exponentially. Mat espouses the things that ALL of we Veterans are exposed to, and most of us learn and take on as our "world view." But in MY generation, there just weren't so MANY of us, as there are today, out there trying to teach these lessons to those who never served. War sucks. It is a means of last resort. I will never advocate for sending someone else to fight, now that I have aged out. But I understand why it is necessary. That said, the sunshine that comes from it is that THIS generation has so MANY Veterans, that we are finally starting to make an impact upon those we can teach! You are doing good work, Mat. Your coffee is still too expensive (haha), but I buy it anyway, because I like what you guys do with a share of the profits...and I REALLY like helping to create reasons for Veterans to get a microphone to try and explain why we always win to those who do not understand it. Keep up the great work, man! Even us older guys appreciate you!

I considered myself a Democrat until I joined the army and learned about freedom then I became a libertarian. I love Matt’s work and his military based comedy skits take me back to a younger me. He continues his service to this country by sharing his message and continuing his work. Thank you for your service brother god bless you and yours and god bless our country.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "the sign of the four" Sherlock Holmes tells Watson , My mind "rebels at stagnation" great book thanks for reminding me of it. And God bless this Warrior.

Beck ask him questions then Mat tries to answer but Beck interrupts and starts talking about himself .

Mat, if you ever need a trucker to haul your product, let me know. I'm a veteran and listening to you speak for the sense of purpose is like looking in the mirror in the morning. Is amazing, how alike we all our after the military or life's experiences have shaped us. I love having that sense of purpose day to day. Since, I have gotten out, finding that sense of purpose is very hard to do, I would love to find it again.

Just WOW! I wish more people would view this and actually listen to it. Amazing!!

Would love to see him interview evan haffer

Whiskey, guns and jokes! ❤️

Wow this was one of the best podcasts I have ever heard. Thank you for doing this I have been a struggling public service provider for over 22 years and have often struggled with finding a purpose. I have a list of the top ten people I want to meet in my life and both of these men are on this short list.

Glen you do such amazing work, thank you.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="771">12:51</a> for the “I’m Not Sober Line”

When we endure these issues sooner or later we find out how strong we truly are and winning back control of our cravings. Each day is a step forward.

Thank you. Free speech, truth,and honestly!

Glad I am old enough to see talent, not be intimidated, and instantly want to know this person and help them grow. Mat, you are an amazing talent. Thank you for serving (25+ years here), we were lucky to have you for the time we did. My 2 cents: hold on for dear life to the amazing woman that is helping you become the man you are destined to be. You are not done in this life. You have proven your ability to be a hero, be an entrepreneur, be wealthy... what do you want to be next? I would love to see you solve an American or World problem of your choice. I have faith that you will succeed at something you find passion in. “Keep up the fire.”

This was absolutely spectacular. Tell me your two companies can find some project to work together on? Youth related would be my suggestion.

Matt Best? Way cool! I got to meet his crew this summer. Great crowd

Thank you for your service, Matt.

Sitting at an airport in Germany and couldn't agree more with Mat. I felt you when you mentioned the college experience, was working 10 years all across the globe for 10 years before heading to college, felt lost a lot, drank a lot. I managed to handle, but with what I have been told in the army. Discipline! Scheduled every day, lots of exercises, routine, surviving. Cheers brother keep going

Why do vets serve, in my case I served and have two honorable discharges because I know how great freedom is and how horrible it is not to have freedom, the oath that we take we first swear our allegiance to the Constitution, secondly to our commanders and the commander and chief, why because men can violate the constitution and that's why we swear our allegiance first to the Constitution to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, it is important that you know and understand the Constitution of the United States and how would says our system is supposed to work, the Federalist papers is where our founding fathers talked about the Constitution that they wrote and what it meant so there is a clear understanding possible if you're going to serve you must understand what it is you're serving, and that is protecting the rights of the American people their freedom !!!

Just thought about making a fart sound in formation, and how we would have been killed 😂😂😂😂

You speak volumes mat. Thanks. And read the comments. People love you.

I truly enjoy & openly laugh when watching Mat Best's videos & have truly enjoyed discovering more about this American hero. Thank you for showing this side of a hilarious guy.
