Andy is a shining example of being humble. You dont get to be a Tier 1 operator of any branch and be a C- or C, but he consistently grades himself as such and it's refreshing. Even at the bleeding edge he sought constant improvement and that's a great lesson for everyone.
Love Andy! His articulation, experience, intelligence, humbleness.
Very smart, well spoken, passionate, brave and honest.
Well said Brian.
*humility
A clip of an interview with Joe Rogan brought me here, Andy talked for almost 15 minutes with minimal interaction with Joe; he was so engaging and made me want to hear more from him.
…and humor. His dialogue with Mike Glover - good stuff
Andy is a quality patriot. As a older veteran (Vietnam), it is so great to see someone who is smart and patriotic. Our country is great because of guys like Andy.
facts
Vietnam vets are morons
Thank you for your service Jim. Idk what branch, I’m navy, but you guys no matter what are the most badass
agreed and thanks to you and your family for your selflessness
@@mikes9012 nice try toll. lame.
Andy is a pleasure to listen to. So incredibly intelligent, articulate and humble.
Andy Stumph is one of the best interviews out there . So simple , no gung-ho look at what I’ve done . Very modest and funny , the way he articulates his experiences is second to none . Great podcast guys
💯
I love his show, but I also love the fungus ho guys. I just like good interviewers and intelligent discussion I guess. We are lucky to have several great podcasts to listen to while working etc.
Andy Stumpf’s detail and ability to convey what its like in Devgru is truly impressive!
My dad was on the SWAT team i grew up in shoot houses. He now had PTSD and TBI people do not realize the sacrifices they make. Ive only recently come to really understand him and who he is and his alcohol problem through all of these different operator interviews since he doesnt share much.
I absolutely love this man. He's so smart and honest and he protected us. Thank you Andy. You are a true hero to me.
Very humble, his positivity is contagious.
Andy's alot of things bro humble ain't one
@anthonylewis9256 If Andy Stumpf is not humble, then I'm not sure you could find one humble person on Planet Earth if you searched for the next millennia...
@@anthonylewis9256lol, actually he is very humble.
Tyler Grey was one of my snipers before going to CAG along with his best friend who was also on that target. Such a great Ranger and warrior.
This man is truly a humble person. I'm glad to hear his words of wisdom. I'm sure that if you asked his team mates they would talk about what a great man and team he truly is....
Bill Rapier touched on it...., Andy apparently saved his life
Andy just may be the most incredible speaker in the military community as a whole. I know the SEALs don't appreciate the "writers" or "self-promoters" within their community. I understand this 100%. One particular guy stands out that destroys the "silent professionals" and "team" idea. That aside, if he ever wrote a book, i'd buy out in a heartbeat.
My friend and teammate/classmates Son. Very impressed and honored to have that connection, His Pop has much to be proud of. Ooh rah
To the host: thankyou very much for asking your questions and letting your guest talk and talk and talk without interruption. Kudos to you sir. Love listening to him go on and on.
The production quality is insane on this one.
I've listened to over 50 SEALS over the years but none better than Andy.
23:54 - It goes to show you how small the Special Operations Community is. Didn't know Andy and Tyler Grey got wounded on the same target, and shared hospital rooms after! They should totally link up on one of their podcasts.
I did not realize until watching this interview that Andy Stumpf was with devgru. Andy is such plain spoken, and humble person.
Same here, even after watching so many podcasts with him on his channel or on others.
Same it took me awhile. He quickly mentioned he went undergo selection on the east coast and a light bulb went through my head, lol. Confidence is quiet, right?
He talks about it kind of a lot but not in the sense that you think. He uses military lingo and hints like "east coast command", "green team" when referring to selection. Just put it this way he went through selection in 2000 or 2001.
What you see from AS is how he is in reality. A righteous dude & certainly an uncommon one..
"I'd say I'm average. Maybe a little below."
Andy giving us gold
I appreciate you guys.
The mark of a true professional is humility. Way too many times egos hold you back from the highest levels of proficiency. I notice the same working with fellow Marines. “Pride cometh before a fall”...and you know Marines are proud. Humility brings a confidence that pride never will IMO. Nothing wrong with being proud as long as it doesn’t cloud your perspective and humility. Fantastic interview
This man exudes great humility and confidence at the same time.
Andy's jump story of the interpreter is one of the best story's ever. love Andy .
After listening to/following/watching Andy for so long I don’t know how I missed that he was a part of Tier One. What a badass and an excellent public speaker. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
He’s very humble about his DEVGRU experience
After spending 32 years at JEB Little Creek and DevGru Dam Neck in a strictly DON support capacity I am always impressed with the drive and dedication of these warriors. I am proud to say that many of these guys are friends all the way back to the days of playing racquetball with Rudy Boesch at Rockwell Hall. These warriors truly are the best of the best.
That's awesome. Did you ever get to use their range or shoot their weapons???
@@smithnwesson990 actually got to go to Fishermans Island on the Chesapeake Bay system and shot the MP5 a couple of clips. Sling and all, very cool.
This guy's great. Appreciate his intelligence and humility. Not to say that that isn't the norm but his talk about respecting life even when taking it is great.
Some say... that beer is still there waiting for the Andy Stumpf.
Legend has it...that Beer was created from Andy Stumpf's piss!
"All we know is...he's called The Stumpf"
He probably didn’t even touch it, he left it for his brothers who didn’t make it back home
@@farr0nann132 It's called, "The good Stumpf"
@@zealandsword9557 god damn that's good.
I feel that gravitational pull that you describe. Had felt it since I was younger than I can remember, from taking my dads garrison cap to school or re-enacting battles in the woods by myself I always knew I wanted to join the military. I have a very similar story to all the guys that I listen to, that have had the fortune to join special operations, about their upbringing and motivations for joining. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes when I was 10. I remember being in the e.r. waiting to get transferred to the children's hospital and that was one of the first things my parents told me was that I wasnt going to be able to join the military. I have really struggled my entire life since that diagnosis trying to redirect that passion that I felt towards serving into anything else. It's led to a lot of depression in my life. I relate a lot to guys who were injured and medically retired who talk about being frustrated, and lost, and how they suffer identity crisis. Seeing that a lot of them have been able to find outlets outside of the military that have been successful is encouraging that maybe some day I will as well. However, I still feel that gravitational pull and a sense of great loss and it's hard sometimes. Thanks for sharing and producing this content.
Hang in there bud. Hopefully you’ll find yourself one day.
Man, this guy is the bomb, really anchored, great true north and so well spoken.
An absolute humble, intelligent, articulate enlightened individual!!!!
"Micro failures". No failure when you learn from the experience. Dropping Knowledge /mindset bombs:)
I love his stories and listening to his experiences. Guy is a legend.
Holy shit that training to failure explanation was awesome
What minute
Top notch Man. Stumpf 2024
I can’t wait to see his life change even more as he advances in Jiu Jitsu. I’ve got a black belt and am fully confident that a man of his caliber will be so much better than I ever could be.
The key to a good interview begins with the interviewer. The art of the question, flowing with it all and above all else: listening well. Anyway, nice work.....
Andy always brings it to the table. I love listening to him anywhere
Andy Stumpf is what a real life hero should be. Well spoken, humble, and patriotic!!!
This is one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to, thank you for your service. 🙏🏻
I have loved Andy for years but I do wonder if he would be so candid about the failure of his marriage and the failure of his relationship with his oldest son. Growth is important and I would love to hear how he approached his familial relationships and how he worked through them. Thank you for putting Andy in a position to help others grow. He’s a great man!!! (Fyi- 50 y/o female here.)❤❤❤
I hope one day shawn Ryan and Andy do a podcast together🙌
The man is a consumate pro. Great interview by the host. This host did his homework and basically kept the flow of the show.
Andy is humble and articulate and it was very inspirational listening to the podcast 👍👍
I really like this bloke. Listen to his podcast Cleared Hot all the time, brilliant content and some good sound advice.
Thanks Andy for sharing your story. Love hearing about your process along the way with each interview.
Great interview. So much insight into the mindset of an operator
Andy is such an awesome guy, just genuine. Great interview Q's.
As a professional in Emergencies, I didn't like hearing the talk about how little doctors know. Andy knows that knowledge is limited and we learn so much from combat medicine. The years of time and monetary sacrifice are to gain the skills necessary to learn how to treat humans. By the way, you are a true professional. Love your content and subscribed!
Andy is a solid dude. Great mindset.
Andy is fantastic as always 🙏 🇺🇸
Thank you for this conversation. 🙏
If I woke up in a 2022 war zone and Andy was there, I would defer all movements to him. I grew up in 90's Sydney Australia which had both frag and stray round potentiality. Not as bad now in this town but I've travelled abit :)
Mr. Andy Stumpf is very intelligent, articulate, has good command of grammar, yet humble. I love that he is clean shaven when most men nowadays are sporting a beard and mustache. Some men look really dirty and unkempt with it. Not everyone looks good in a beard or even a mustache. The love and passion he feels toward the Navy Seal bring honour to the SEAL community. Thank you for serving our Country Mr. Andy Stumpf. GOD bless you and yours.
I, for one, am looking forward to Andy Stumpf releasing his skincare routine.
Great conversation with an absolute superstar of a guy. First was introduced to Andy through Crossfit and his mindset is one to admire. Stand up guy!
I could listen to Andy forever,
eloquent, articulate and full.of wisdom and knowledge (and I have a huge crush on him woot)
When I mess up I own it. However, I admit I avoid adversity because I’m afraid of making a mistake. I get in my own way. I hope that I can change that over time.
He confirmed what I always suspected of a "committee" with expertise. I can be in charge of the committee and not have all the answers, but there is always a couple guys that know a particular subject matter better than anybody.
This is a great interview.
What a great attitude and well said. Thanks for this and Thank you Andy.
I completely relate the rolling ankle thing. I’ll be walking g and just out of the blue catch myself as it just rolls on a just a regular old step.
this guy is a genius; he could do anything period; awesome human.
Great interview Andy is the man
You and Taylor gray were in the same target !!! 🤯 Mind blown ! Damn that’s a story that need to be made into a book 📚
When I heard Tyler tell the story I think he said the terrorist detonated a bomb but Andy is saying it was their breaching charge. I don’t know what to think. Both stories are crazy though
And he shots a Mathews Bow ! Love this dude !
Wow. Never knew Andy was in seal team 6. Super humble
Andy. I think personally you are slightly more than average! Another amazing interview.
I love andy. Much like mike glover, andy has been a tremendous inspiration to me and I follow all his content religiously
Cleared Hot Podcast = %100.
Great guest and LOVED the interview! I would just say the interviewer kept repeating a lot of things and didn't seem to catch the flow of the conversation, he would just automatically ask a question and move on based on his notes and really not digest what Andy was saying. However, great job and hope that helps :)
Totally agreed Andy said mad shit and he said “cool so” lmaoooo
Andy is my fav SEAL to listen to.
Andy Stumpf is the man
Pretty humbling and motivating sentiments on being average coming from Andy Stumpf considering the elite operators SEALs are known for.
Dude this is one awesome interview, love Andy's responses..............BUUUUUT drink that damn beer man! Just a sip now and again bro! Lol
It's killing me also lol
😂
Yea, that nice cold draft beer just sitting there untouched was killing me. I have to believe he swigged it after the show!
Very awesome and terrific content. So much respect for Mr Stumpf. 🤙🏽
Tyler grey was Delta too. That's badass
These guys need to talk to Brian Callen and learn something about tactical operations.
Yessir Andy needs to learn him something from wrinks aka a real man
Josh Kennedy Go through the Cleared Hot playlist, you will find a couple with Callen
Truth SUPER alpha
Have y’all seen the hand painted picture of Brian wrestling a bull in Andy’s office?
Coach Kota I do vaguely remember that painting. Lol
a man of honor
Hooyah Andy. What a great interview.
43:11 😂😂😂 this guy is great lol
His beer glass was not touched.
Wish Andy was my neighbor. Much respect for this man..M
Awesome interview. Thanks.
Always a fan!! Lisa 😎
Your interview good ,I thank you for interest your life is.
Love listening to Andy!!
He's one of my inspirations in life. He and Dr. Jordan Peterson have kept me from suicide.
What folks don't realize and it may not be obvious because of his low-key demeanor, but Andy is as elite as they get. I mean like, he is it.
07:33 but a jack of all trades is often better than a master of one!
This quiet professional never met an interviewer he didn't like.
Andy must have a very high IQ. He is inspiring, funny & quick. Dive headlong into adversity as motivation. Love it!! Aunt jane TX
Respect.
Omg it’s so funny that I watched this today the day that I was thinking about and studying what it takes to get into mountaineering that 100% definitely definitely put your life in the hands of equipment that you purchase especially when it comes to crevasse rescue. As somebody with a small budget, it kind of almost seems that it’s gonna be better to make the investment
Found it very interesting. Would love to hear what he thought of the film about the Iranian hostage seize in London
This interview is great . Andy i wemt through the same shit with foot drop .. so fucking frustrating. Only i didnt have a cool story lol got drunk after a break up who knows what i did but falling on your face every morning cause you forgot your foot wont work is incredibly frustrating.. love these podcasts very inspiring
Navy seals all talk very similar, it does seem that it is not about sheer strength but about a particular mind set.
I love how some people hate Andy because he's so goddamn honest 😂 he will crush down your favorite movies,and stories with some straight up knowledge,making snowflakes cry😂 dudes a stud! And guess what... he's over 40!
A symphony of chaos...perfect statement!
1:01 HAHAHAHAHA that’s me every time. I’m permanently dry and sarcastic I’m just like him.
Andy is as stand up as they get. Clearly Intel which East mentioned numerous times in his War Stories was insufficient or non-existent or just completely out to lunch and I know this from where I was in the Air Force in the air refilling all the support people in theater during this and hundreds of other DEA missions in the air on the ground they call him da and they are we just call emissions Supple same s*** Andy is highly-respected and he has my respect I love her stories and brings back the realness of water is to be on the front lines to serve one's country much respect Andy Love You Man! Sorry for the text to break up voice activity via, phone transcribe be well
