Cleared Hot Episode 89 - Mat Best

[@MBest11x]

Thanks for having me on Brother! Honor to be able to sit and talk with you!

[@Brady.John87]

Hey matt, I pre ordered your book via audible but it doesn't give a date. When's it coming out?

[@bostoncopguy]

MBest11x i could listen to you telling stories all day bro. Sometimes I think I’ve done a lot of badass stuff and then I listen to you guys! Then not so much!

[@David_Bagent]

MBest11x appreciate what you do for your community mat

[@philliphayden2727]

Mat, super cool that you are in here responding to folks. Very rare and much appreciated by the community!

[@johnnybradshaw5865]

Thank you Matt,love the videos.

[@bradleywayne3943]

Sgt. Best, I first "discovered" your channel in '13. After watching a few vids I called my childhood best friend/Ranger buddy (10-97) to tell him about it. I later found out, that phone call pulled the pistol out of his mouth, and your videos helped keep it out and gave him something "good" to talk with me about. Thank you sir for helping me (although unbeknownst to you) help him and us, he is now married with two beautiful kids.

[@jannettaktibbs7268]

Oh my, thank God and blessed be to you and your friend.

Cant believe Mat hasnt been on Joe Rogan. He's already a big BRC supporter!

[@NM-tl6pe]

Yeah, it boggles my mind. Joe's had just about everyone but Mat on the podcast. Maybe he's intimidated by Mat's hair.

[@jimjohnson3865]

Came on Rogan recently

[@nickmedina3674]

@@jimjohnson3865 didn't talk much though. Evan did most of the talking. Good pod though. Rogan needs mat just by himself or rudy reyes.

It would be a great career move for him, but Joe Rogan flip flops on his opinions even more than Fauci

If Matt would have joined the Marines like his brothers he would probably have a badass crayon company right now! Semper Fi.

"chuckle heads" ... that's one to remember. Another great podcast thank you.

[@danielmarshall4587]

As a "civie" this is such an insight awesome.

[@brianbircher5368]

I'm a coffee roaster and a gun guy. I am simply in awe of what Mat has done with BRC in such a short period of time. I've lately gotten hooked on Adam's podcasts and videos and have a lot of catching up to do. It is a fascinating look into a world I have never experienced.

[@travisbond635]

Both you guys are awesome. This country is a better place because of you two. Thank you both for your continued service to our country. God bless you both and God bless America.

[@zixuanchun5273]

Andy stumpf and mat best = been waiting for this combination! Get some! And I'm from Singapore!

[@EnabledShooter]

I never knew how to respond to people that thanked me for my service. I felt like it was hard to know what to say when someone is thanking you for having the time of your life. I can't remember what I was watching but, someone thanked the service member for his service and he responded, "thank you for your support." I felt like that was a good response.

[@escott3829]

I've been in since 1984. I turn it around. "Thank YOU Taxpayer.. You bought me the ticket for this all expense paid Adventure Ride." "Without You Taxpayer.. We are just folks with Bad Attitudes and Sharp Sticks"

[@jannettaktibbs7268]

I have been saying thank you for your service to any military personnel that I see. For me it is respect for what you do and the sacrifices you all give so that I can have the freedom to garden and cook my heart out in the comfort of my own home. My father was in the Air Force, my husband was in the Army (rest in peace Sweet Baby) and several of the men and women I went to school with were in the service also. The thing I notice about military people is that they are more well rounded. People who never leave their own "bubble" as Mat stated, are very much lacking in sensitivity of other cultures and people. My husband was in Korea for over 2 years, what he learned there was just how great America is. I'm beginning to believe that everyone should have to give 2 years of service for their country. Not necessarily war service, you can build wells for communities that have to walk 5 miles one way for clean water. Some sort of service to better your understanding of just how great you have it here in America. I love Mat Best's humor. I got into BRCC because of his hilarious videos. He always makes me laugh. I love that. I will be buying your book, and I wish you both much success in your future. J in Oregon

I just hit 👍 button before listening cuz I know the podcast will be legit as always.

[@brianhetrick1301]

I am trying to catch up on some of these older shows. This was a good one. And heck yes that was the way to end it!

[@oregonoutback7779]

This and Dan Crenshaw are my two favorite Cleared Hot podcasts to date. And that says allot, considering the top notch visitors to this channel. Great work Andy.

[@ryanjobb6403]

I remember watching the rogan episode where he told you to make a KZbin channel and I’m glad you did, interviewing veterans like Matt is a great idea too. I’d like to hear more about your books and experiences that translator story was nuts I could see it in my head.

[@9mmARman]

I respect the hell out of you both. Thank you.

[@larrybomber83]

Wow, that was awesome. I am so glad to meet fellow servicemen who were Special Outfits that didn't brag about what bad asses they were. I also loved Mat's book. I understood the humor, especially the part about almost losing your friend, and then finding out they were fine, and laughing your ass off. It gets rid of the fear of almost losing them.

[@mortonxdd]

If Ryan Reynolds ever has a biopic made, God I pray Mat is the first person they hit up 😂

[@lesterlesoine9225]

Isn't it true that when navy seals need help, army rangers answer the call? Really enjoyed your book mat

[@cmnieman1]

Just started watching and words can't describe how excited I am. Both these guys are some of the most interesting, intelligent, and great people in the public eye. I'd give up a body part to be able to spend a day with these guys. Can't wait to read Matt's book.

[@koopspook]

Christopher Nieman calm down dude

Why is the singer of Creed interviewing Mat Best?

[@anthonylewis9256]

I created I created I created my own podcast!! ( Scott stapp voice )

[@raykobud]

Thank you both for this podcast.

[@USMCPiper0351]

From what I know of SF and Rangers The best way I’d describe the difference is SF is a scalpel and Rangers are a samurai sword. Both super sharp, but one is for surgery and the the other brute force, but with expert precision. Great show as always Andy and Mat.

[@kodingkrusader2765]

If you want to train a rebel force to take an airport in enemy territory you send the green berets. If you want to take it ourselves you send in the rangers

[@USMCPiper0351]

Johnny Mad Dog nobody asked you.

[@ownpetard8379]

Koding Krusader Yeah. The Horse Soldiers - book & movie - pretty well defines SF.

[@BirdDogey1]

I had a guy in my commissioning class nearly 40 years ago attend Ranger school as a leg. Not everyone there had been to jump school.

[@robertthomas9803]

Back in late 70s, my HS library had Leatherneck magazine. There was an article about new USMC boots. They were suede/rough out brown. It mentioned the WW2 rough out boots. It never came to fruition. During my time, (86-90)I kept wishing for those boots. But similar to old timers who can brag about being in the brown shoe Army, I can say I was in the black boot Army.

This was a lot of fun, and now I have another book to buy...

Only 2 minutes in and maybe this is revealed later but I feel like this was recorded at a Marriott Property (most likely Summit Watch) in Park City Utah. That mirror on the wall is very distinct.

[@TheMikeydudeman]

LOL damn duck bear question had me laughing LOL!!!

[@dmo544]

ANDY I really like it when you divert to Instructor Stumpf. Could you maybe do more of this? For example at 23:00 Mat misread the question and you hit a very instructor like reset on him. Or on Rations and wine Buck asks if he could have a different drink and you gave him the Buds instructor soft, hard, no. It's super cool to see how the instructor can play on emotions to invoke a response like that and I guess it's just an interesting look inside the challenge it is to get through seal training, and not just physically.

[@JohnDoe-du8by]

I bet Mat Best can do a great Ryan Reynolds impersonation

[@JR-ju3kj]

The more I listen to him talk the more it's like I'm hearing Deadpool speak. Matt Best really does sound like Ryan Reynolds! It's uncanny. He's definitely got the same sense of humor as Reynolds and that like-minded view of seeing the world and various experiences through the prism of humor.

Well...no good reasons come to mind on why I haven’t been watching Cleared hot have watched Andy in other pods..I admire how self aware he is and respect that...this pod was awesome..have watched Mat here and there on the interweb and think he’s funny as shit..with that being said..next time I’m at my job and thinking about complaining or complain about life I definitely going to think of Andy’s story about tandem jumping into Afghanistan and what he had to do to get to the ground from a haho jump..good shit fellas thank you for your service 🇺🇸

People actually use white shoe polish a lot for their golf shoes... the only reason I know that is because I used to be a locker room attendant at a private country club and members would drop their shoes off at the desk to get cleaned and shined up everyday
