I hope that everyone has a good week, but specifically, the time stamp guy
:))
Time Stumpf guy! Fix yourself!
@@bobweatababyitzaboi my bad dude, I have had some personal family things going on recently. Hopefully should be back and able to do the stamps on monday. :)
@@daveoliver3515 safe return! Thanks for the stamps!
YESSSSSSSS
Ladies, find yourself a man that looks at you and give you attention the way that Mike Glover gives John Meyer.
Great podcast
I wouldn't mind Mike Glover giving me the kind of attention he gave to John Stryker Meyer!
It's easy for a woman. It's extremely hard for a man to find a woman to look at him like that. Facts.
Ha ha agreed
@@Last_Chance. Truth.
Look at Mikes face every time John Speaks. Hes in such awe and respect for this man...and now so am i!
Yeah exactly, he litteraly looks like an 8 year old watching Rambo for the first time. Amazing. My jaw is dropping as well watching Stryker talk lol
Get yourself a woman who looks at you the same way Mike looks at Tilt
@@pimesikk6724 😂😂😂 nuff said
@@notundermywatch3163 Speaking of Rambo,John Stryker Meyer is the REAL Rambo! Ha! Ha! It's interesting,I'd actually be interested to hear what he thinks about the Rambo movies since John Rambo is supposed to be a Vietnam vet.
I agree with Oliver Stone(who like John,is a Vietnam War veteran),I think First Blood was the best out of all of the Rambo movies.
I love how Mike has such respect and admiration for Stryker!
I respect and admire him,too! I'm surprised no one has tried to turn his story into a movie yet like how Ron Kovic(Born On The Fourth Of July) and Chris Kyle(American Sniper)'s stories were turned into movies!
Winner, best comment 🍻
Mike is right in saying that we need to get these MACV/SOG warriors stories while they are still around. It pains me to think of all the great tales from WWII that many vets took to their graves, and will never be heard. Having Mike Glover on, really added to the podcast. He asked a lot of really good questions that spurred conversation with information I had not heard from Tilt before. Awesome show guys, would love to see more like this!
Tilt and Jocko were supposed to be working on a podcast but it sounds like Covid has delayed it, hopefully still going though. Also heard of a pc game, I am hoping by the guys making the Fallujah one, although maybe it was the new ARMA one.
Many veterans don't want to talk about their experience and I don't blame them.
@@requited2568 it already has 4 episodes is called SOGcast its on spotify. Awesome stories
@@felippecordilha4842 Nice, THANK YOU!
Jocko has done a magnificent job of gathering these guys and gettin there store
This may be the best podcast ever! John Stryker Meyer is such an unassuming BEAST.
The way he follows up a story about absolute savagery with a little giggle is hilarious like he didnt just say he went on a rambo mission and got choppered by his boot laces lol
Agreed!
I have listened several times. Listening again.
When I saw that Andy was having Glover and Tilt….. at the same time….. holy shit man, best podcast ever!!!!! Tilt is a LEGEND!!!!
I loved this episode of Cleared Hot! I love the Vietnam vets and it's so important for us to hear these stories while many of these vets are still here, just like Mike Glover was saying! I don't know how he would feel about it but someone should make a movie out of John Stryker Meyer's life and his experiences in Vietnam. I heard someone saying that when he was younger, Matt Damon would have been perfect for playing John Stryker Meyer in a movie.
Mike Glover AND John Stryker Meyer, holy shit my body is ready
Full moisture achieved
Hes the happiest guy alive looking at Tilt haha so good to see man
@@zachgeary5088 ahh man, cant imagine! Love that guy
Andy’s sense of humor is outstanding. Keeps the conversation flowing. Stryker & Glover are great too.
Oh dang, I just saw the title alone and thought Andy just won the internet today!
I can’t get enough SOG content. I could hear the same stories a hundred times and still get goosebumps. To me what separates special operations is the idea of high risk, high reward and these guys exemplify that perfectly. I feel almost unworthy to be in on this conversation because I haven’t earned it.
I have listened to Tilt on podcasts and read all of his books. Same with Mike. I feel like I know these guys. I can’t get enough of SOG.
A moment of silence....for those that haven’t heard this podcast . 🙏
Andy taking the piss out of all the books written by SEAL's is absolute gold.
I’m illegitimate anyway
That means I can’t read
@@Tinker.Studio yeah I know, pretty sure it was a general piss take.
@@Tinker.Studio it would be hard for an operator at any level to detach themselves from their former occupation
@@Tinker.Studio stfu
@@BostonsF1nest not to mention they have earned the right to make money for the sacrifices they made. People are ungrateful for what these guys had to go through and what they still go through every time the sleep
We need more MACV SOG guys like Meyer and Plaster talking about that era, as long as they are around they are a huge assets to new generations.
@Don Baumann Given that they needed a draft to fill the ranks during Vietnam, in comparison to the last 20 years when had only a volunteer force that fought and died wearing the exact same flag the SOG men represented, often inspired as Mike Glover was by SOG, I am not at all worried. There will always be those sort of Americans.
A fabulous episode as always. Great Men and careers. I have a good friend who was in MACV-SOG . He volunteered and served in 1971 surviving his full tour....barely! He will discuss his HALO and small arms training, but not much else. He’s 70 now and has my utmost respect. I appreciate Mr. Meyer sharing his experiences as it gives me a glimpse into what my friend Mark endured in his young life.
@@mikecollard3783 Most of the men who fought in Vietnam were volunteers. The military as a whole still had a larger volunteer component during Vietnam than they do now.
@@mikecollard3783 but the Americans you speak of have gotten soft. They're not the same type of men that fought in nam in the sog or seal
@Don Baumann Not exactly. Even though when you watch the news it would seem so. Remember even back in "Tilt's" day the country was in turmoil. Hippies, woodstock, drugs, anti-American sentiment. Even within the military. But we still had hero's. Same for Afghanistan and Iraq. Don't believe the media BS.
I love the fact that john seems more interested in andy and mikes military experiences rather than talking about his own.
" we know you 6 digit code......here is my 8 digit code MFer, come get me!" Freaking awesome!

@@squatchy0000 so that’s what it means. Brilliant!
SOG has some of the best war quotes for sure,
Responding to his air support, "No no. I've got 'em right where I want 'em, surrounded... from the inside!" -Jerry "Mad Dog" Shriver MIA †
Mikes face and body language says it all. He is totally enjoying this interview!
John's comment at the end about young people needing these stories hits hard. It's a shame how little history we were taught in school about these heros. Can't thank you all enough for this podcast!
I hit like as soon as I saw who the guests were.
John Stry…LIKE 💯👍
Me too! Knew it would be an awesome interview.
“So luckily they lowered the standards I got in”. What a stud!
This should be like 8hours. "We Few" is one of the best books Ive read the last few year. Andy would appreciate the verbal sparring between the SOG new recruits and the established brass. Might be the most creative uses of foul language back and forth I have ever heard. The simple fact it took place between an Officer and an enlisted guy makes it even funnier.
A podcast of biblical proportions. Mr Stumpf you have out done yourself again. 🇺🇲🇨🇦
Their heroic achievements notwithstanding, it’s equally impressive to watch three real men treat each other with such love and respect. Fantastic podcast, thank you.
Andy Tilt left out that he got into a bar fight that he needed to "avoid" that led to him going to the Pentagon to get orders back. Love it.
This is the most fascinating SOF interview I've ever watched. Andy and Mike are as blown away as we are hearing John talk, and then they provide modern context that is really helpful. Great job and thank you.
God. Damn. It's incredible to live in a time where stories and perspectives like these can be heard from the horse's mouth. What an honor to be American
Bravo, J Sryke Meyer is a national treasure, the essence of the American Spirit, carried by those few Brave American Souls who established and served this great Nation in harms way. My brother in law was a UH1-C gunship pilot with the 68th AHC in Vietnam in 1967-1968, let us always support them, remember them, and preserve their stories of selfless and unthinkable sacrifice for their unique and magnificent brotherhood! We love you and thank the Lord you made it bsck home. ♥️🇺🇸✝️
Dammit! I’m already at work. This day will drag knowing that this gem of a podcast is waiting and I can’t watch until tonight. Happy Monday, mother Stumpfers.
Finally someone brought together old school and new school ODA's! Epic!
watching 2 badasses geek out over a bigger badass just makes my heart warm. what a great 3 hrs
Another Tilt podcast, instant click.
Always. I don't care if it's the same stories, I'll gladly listen to them again.
I love the eps with Andy's dad, but by a country mile, this is his best episode ever. I could listen to these three gents talk forever.
which podcast has his dad
Can someone please tell rogan to have some of these SOG legends on his podcast. It would bring to light the things these guys did only because of the following rogan has. This is actual history that needs the younger generation to understand that went down.
Agreed and like Mike said,NOW is the time to do it.Nobody's getting any younger here but once you start to get up in age,I think most people can agree that what happens is the future becomes NOW(and having that fierce urgency of now,as Dr.King used to call it,is still even applicable if you're younger-time has got to be budgeted and used wisely).
Rogan needs to start talking to all of these guys as soon as he's able to do it.
Knowing the spotify workers, they would find something to say to shame these vets. 😒🤢🤮
The Spotify people, the super left wing types and the conspiracy nuts in his comment section would absolutely lose their fucking minds.
Some things are expressed better via Jocko-Stumpf-and of course field craft survival....and lets not forget the SOGCAST! As much as i love Rogan, J.S.M. has found his rightful place in other areas 🤘 thanks for the SOGCAST added Monday🤘 keep em comin Tilt🤘 It would be fun to see where Shawn Ryan takes the convo 😈
awesome bro!!! Glad i could help... hope you find your way to it man!
Awesome… Warriors of two dimensions, two worlds, two actual podcast interviewers, three heroes, and us millions benefit of all things done, sacrificed, accomplished, secured by you three! From one veteran to you three heroes, thank you…!
I'm only half way through this and my mind is blown. To see a Devgru guy and a Delta guy talk to someone and really pay their respect for someone who helped lay the foundation for them in their careers is awesome. Great podcast and an honour to hear this man's truly incredible life story.
I don’t think Andy was Devgru, nor was Glover in The Unit. Am I missing something?
Andy was in gold squadron until he got shot. Mike said on the Shawn Ryan show he got to delta and had issues with some of the guys so he wasn’t there long if I remember correctly.
@@joshua.h.beaumontAndy stumpf was In seal team 6 devgru and mike glover was never in delta force he was a ranger and green Beret and pretty sure he was also doing cia contracting
@@VQKYLE410close enough
Tilt and the rest of the SOG and the LRRP guys need way more recognition no more than ever. Their stories need to be told.
I love watching the respect that they all have for each other.
3 hours felt like 20 minutes. Great stories. Thanks to all 3 of you.
At 20:24 I like how Mike is off to the side admiring the SOG coin given to him by a SOG warrior after a childhood of reading SOG books which lead him to the entire life he's lived. This must've been such a cool experience for him
As he should
I know he continues to check it out and admire it throughout the podcast. It’s really cool to see someone that accomplished so much and I view in high regard absolutely fan boy over someone he views in the same way.
I've listened to this episode 9 times now. The experience in one room is immense.
I love hearing these stories and I pray we keep hearing things like these. My great grandfather served in ww2 as a navigator in a b25 with the flying tigers in Burma and I found his distinguished flying cross and my grandmother had no idea what that medal meant. I’ve been trying to find his army records for her while she’s still around because I want his story to live on.
This man is just built different. He can recall Vietnam better than I can world last week. I'm a quarter of his age, and no where near as sharp as this man. This was incredible.
I want to experience what Mike experienced in this podcast episode. He is living out his childhood fantasies of meeting his heroes for us to watch. I've never seen someone more captivated in someone. Its obviously more than a year later, but excellent podcast Andy.
Bro Mike is one of my heroes man, he’s already had impacts that changed my life, I’m the most prepared person in my family when it comes to disaster and survival, and Tilt is just hilarious man
Watching a bad ass like Mike Glover looking at Meyer like a hero was so awesome to watch. He’s looking at him like he’s his hero.
Tilt caring so much about the future of our country and “the young people” is so inspiring. I’m glad this podcast and others like it are produced. These three Americans inspire me to be grateful for being born in the United States, and to be an American. I can’t articulate my gratitude without sounding generic and cheesy for your effort and dedication for putting this podcast out, Andy. So simply: Thank you. I hope you continue to produce Cleared Hot. 👍🏻🇺🇸
This was an awesome pod cast. So much respect for all 3 of you, I never served in the military but when I was 18 I wanted so bad to be in SF. I've been a police officer for over 30 years now and I'm still on the street. The MACVSOG guys are my heroes, thanks so much for this pod cast. Keep up the good work. To all those who served or are currently serving thank you. To those who served in the Nam, my gratitude and respect for you is everlasting. To my absolute hero SOG operator Jerry M Schriver (mad dog) MIA Laos 24 April 1969 who went missing 3 weeks remaining of his 3rd tour and was listed as KIA in 1974 even though his body was never recovered. I know one day when Jerry is ready he will emerge from the jungle as SF legend has it and say," where did everyone go". God Bless all of you.
Fuckin A!
I usually don't care for many of these old war story podcasts but this trio was awesome.
1C2 & 13F 1982-1990
This podcast was just amazing...
a Tier 1 Host + a Tier 1 Guest + a Tier 1 Vietnam Veteran.
Thank God. How lucky am I to listen to this Podcast.
Holy Shit. It's bedtime where I'm at, ive got an early shift tomorrow - and this gem just popped up in my recommended.
Looks like we’re both staying up late 💯👍
Could listen to these two talk all day
Wish somone looked at me like Mike looks at John while hes telling his combat stories...
John Meyer is a god dam national treasure. So is Mikey Glover. Legends.
Mr. Meyer is right on the money. If I'd have been able to watch Andy, Mike, Jocko etc. when I was younger it 100% would have motivated me. In my opinion, you all are bringing in the future generations of military.
That was a good episode. MG was totally enthralled by JSM’s stories. He was like a little kid. Which is funny because he’s a badass in his own right.
I wish this podcast could last forever, such a gem. What a bunch of great dudes, hats off🇺🇸🤘
This could have gone on for the rest of my life and I would never get bored. You guys are ALL amazing. Thank you, every single one of you, for all you have done and all you continue to do 🇺🇸
Mr Meyer and those men he served with are the finest of our warriors and the finest Americans Thank you for all you have done and sacrificed !!
I love how "Tilt" was fascinated with learning how modern SF operates.
I was lucky to meet another SOG veteran and I know exactly how Mike feels-that starstruck awe is the only sensible reaction when meeting guys like John Stryker Meyer who are alive to share their stories.
Fuck me... what an absolute gift that was. Thank you Andy, Mike, and HUGE thank you to John.
Just found this podcast. Have listened to a few Tilt podcasts. This one was tops. Thank u to these three warriors for their service to our amazing country. God bless.
Love me some Tilt. I'll never get tired of hearing him talk. Great podcast guys.
My absolute favorite thing about listening to these podcasts is that it makes you feel like you’re in the room just listening to these legends. Almost makes u feel like youre one of the guys. I love it. Keep it coming andy
Morning y'all. Thanks for putting this thing out consistently, Andy. This one & a few others are dragging me through the beginning of widowhood. It's the only thing in my life that is the same as it was before he died. The familiar tones & cadence bring me comfort. A lot of times I don't ever hear what you're saying but that's ok. Y'all are still here after my world exploded.
Mike living vicariously through John and all of us living vicariously through people like Andy, Mike, DJ, Slayde, Jocko, Jack, all these guys documenting their own life experiences and allowing us insight into what it was really like is fucking fantastic, especially for guys like me who tried to join and serve and just got pushed back and gave up, love it
anything with Mr. John Stryker " Tilt" Meyer, I'm In! I had an exchange with him via email and he was so nice. I immediately got on audible and purchased all of his audiobooks, which he reads himself and does an outstanding job.
Happy monday everyone!
What an honor to sit and listen to these men talk shop. Thank you John Stryker Meyer, Mike Glover, Andy Stumpf.
R.I.P Lynne Black Jr! The man had balls of steel and every story I hear about him is always better than the last!
Awesome, as a Army guy I love hearing my old neighbors stories he was a helicopter pilot and did missions with SOG.
As a vet from the Viet Nam era , this was a very good podcast Andy , brought lots of smiles !
This is one of the best episodes I’ve seen. It’s amazing to see guys like Mike and Andy in awe. What a legend with amazing experiences.
John Stryker Meyer is to Andy and Mike what Andy and Mike are to us out here, just hanging onto every word.
Great talk guys.
My God. This episode is one of the tops imo. The quality of humanity in that room is hard to comprehend.
Tilt is an awesome guy. He sent me a signed copy of his book, because we’re both SF guys and we have the same birthday. I would love to meet him in person one day to here more of his exploits with SOG. Thanks for having him on.
Tilt is a hero of mine! As he is to many of us! Great man!
Absolutely Andy's best podcast to date, love the relationship between Andy and Glover. Thank you
I'm so glad that there are people like John Stryker Meyer out there who are willing to talk about their time in Vietnam. I have family members who were in Vietnam but that subject is a complete no-go topic with them.
The respect and admiration that Mike and Andy show this legend of a man is so rare and refreshing to see.
Usually I have these podcasts on in the background . I have a feeling I will be listening to this more then once .
Same as me.
Even have a playlist that I sleep to.
Meyer is a blast. I could listen to him tell stories all day.
Got a big smile on my face when I saw the thumbnail on my homepage. Been listening to a lot of podcasts featuring these two men.
Why can't people like this run our country.. literally the people sitting is this podcast can never be replaced. Greatness right here. Thank you. !!!!
I'm so glad John has been on so many podcasts lately. These are the stories that need to be heard
Amazing podcast! Thank you all, Gentlemen, for your outstanding service and sacrifice!! God Bless Y'All!!!
Man I love John so much. He still has that jubalient youthful spirit. Love his laugh.
Andy’s right about the level of risk those guys were taking back in the day wouldn’t even be considered nowadays. And how surprising it is that every single guy doesn’t have a Medal of Honor. It’s just crazy to think about how much has changed.
I love Tilt and his stories so much. I am so glad he has come to the limelight. A walking piece of history.
Best episode, hands down
One of my favorite episodes. My Father was also brown water. Traded some stuff with a chopper crew for a mini gun not long after landing in country and he put it up on the bow and went to work. But this episode was so awesome. The shared stories and hearing what those guys in Laos went through. Crazy stuff. Keep up the good work you handsome SOB.
After a horrible weekend, thank you Andy for another great Mike Glover Podcast!
Can’t lie….this was impacting podcast. Both cathartic and triggering. Praise God for John sharing. I’ll stop there, but have soap box. Respect and honor to all. 🇺🇸
Please continue to have Mr Meyer on as much as possible while his mind is still so sharp and crisp. He is literally a living legend and we are all extremely grateful for his willingness to go on the record. These incredible and astonishingly heroic historic battles deserve to be heard.
Incredible interview, i don’t have a military background, but John is an amazing storyteller. Respect to you all, and thank you for your service
Andy and Mike are a real blessing. It is so important to get this history into the public realm.
When I saw this podcast show up in my feed it made my day. I love hearing JSM’s stories. Even better with Mike and Andy. Always makes me feel that whatever I’m dealing with is easy.
One thing - you don't need to be young to find this podcast inspiring. I'm almosty forty, did the duty my country wanted me to do, and still seeing it valuable.
When I saw the list of guests I knew this would be the best cleared hot podcast to date. I did not disappoint. No matter how many times I've seen Tilt on a podcast and after having read his books, the stories of his missions and those of Mac V SOG still leave me shaking my head. There are no doubt warriors from many different theaters over the course of US history that have lead and participated on bold and daring missions in small teams behind enemy lines while greatly outnumbered by enemy forces. But I don't know of conflict where a team conducted so many daring missions on almost a daily basis. Words fail to express the gratitude for what those men did.
220k views and 0 dislikes!! That speaks volumes to the greatness of these men and there stories. All respect to these men and there families.
This was so enjoyable to listen… it was an honor to be part of it. I felt like a guest just listening. Nice job.
