Unyielding Valor - Master Sgt. Earl Plumlee's Path to the Medal of Honor

[@waynehearst317]

The subtle humor, snarky comments and jokes are a great coping mechanism. I hope he's doing well mentally.

[@bryanenglish3242]

Men like these are throwbacks to our greatest generation and the reason America is the best country on Earth,despite our many flaws,Cheers

[@JB-td9fz]

Earl is hilarious.

[@MrRic007]

Very casual with it too 😂😂😂😂

[@bowhuntbum319]

His sense of humor is killer😂

[@LPCliftonMusic]

I love that Andy drops invitation that if Earl’s mom needs anything to reach out. A very small caveat of the conversation but it seems to fit Andy’s personality spot on.

[@Vex916T]

Every other Medal of Honor recipient I listened to were war stories that were serious and super technical in how they dispatched the enemies, but Earl's MOH story was like a Tropic Thunder sequel movie filmed with excessive Michael Bay explosions and unintentional Hot Shots comedy.

[@shawlaqua5282]

"I heard the SEALS demanded it." LOL Best line of interview.

[@Aegis43]

My cousin is CWO3 Mark Colbert, Chief Colbert, that Plumlee mentions in this video. Earl Plumlee is the definition of an American Hero. He makes America a better place. We're blessed to have him.

[@internet_internet]

That is one of the most intense combat stories I’ve ever heard. And he tells it so nonchalantly. Incredible.

[@TheRagratus]

I was an MP stationed at Ft Hood in 1981, there was an SSG/E-6 in my unit that received the MH as an infantryman in Nam. He lived in the barracks in a single room. Anytime there was a barracks inspection, he would lay out his Medal on his bunk and leave. No one said shit about it

[@internet_internet]

That is awesome.

[@donald2665]

Semper Fi!

[@kielruiz5133]

That camera cut to Andy's face at 58:50 is priceless😂 "...except for a SEAL Sniper..."

[@TheTomyossarian]

Most down-to-earth dude. Thanks, Earl.

[@jeremiah1059]

I'm a merchant mariner and I look forward to sailing on the USNS MSGT Earl Plumlee sometime in the future.

[@ensporium8857]

Absolutely enjoy this guys humor 🇺🇲🦅

[@justincrocker9741]

Idk y but this is my favorite interview Andy has ever done just because of how receptive he is just asking simple questions and giving his small takes. Thanks Bro!

[@markparker7778]

I haven't laughed this much in as long as I can remember. You guys are the bomb and my abs are actually starting to get sore. I need sleep in the worst way but I'm not closing my eyes till the very end. It's not at all a laughing matter but the way you both lay it down it's imposible not to. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for your service and I can't wait to hear it all over again later on today. You've reimforced my pride to be an American in these uncertain political times and I'm going to do everthing possible to keep the moral uplifted knowing how much heart you both put into excelling in combat to keep our country safe. I'm so glad I caught this podcast and I can't rieterate how much respect I have for both of you and all those who fought as bravely as you guys did and especially for all soldiers that paid the ultimate price. 🇺🇸🔥👍

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

That's a very important lesson to take from this. Media may tell one story, but gents like these are the Americans of history.

[@Prepper319]

as salamu alaykum , this man is an absolute BAD ASS! I am so happy this guy opened up about his experience to show us the brutality of war & why it should be avoided it all cost ! thank you BOTH for your service!

[@pscruising5486]

That was just sooooooo good. Great exchange, I was just on the edge of my seat listening. I enjoyed the end especially when Andy and Earl both agreed, "when your done your done, let it go" in not so many words. I did that after 21 years a combat pilot. Yep... god bless the Republic!

[@Thebluesky0311]

What a honor to have him on, we are truly blessed to have men like him serving our country..God Bless.

[@mvubu6823]

A great example of how to use humour to make the best out of the worst day you could ever have. Terrific interview.

[@bmoney4310]

that comment he made about a child wanting to join because their parent "thinks" they cant do it. struck home so profoundly

[@benjaminperez7328]

Dude has a fantastic sense of humor. I wish him all the best post-military.

[@SuperflyTX19]

Love how they leave everyone else out of their story... I was 11B attached to his team and was there when this happened. I have the videos and awards to prove it...

[@luci8749]

Thank you for your and your family’s service Congratulations on getting the recognition and the medal You have a great sense of humor I enjoyed listening to you good luck in retirement

[@shermank6]

Oh my gosh, he is such a down to earth and hilarious person. This Plumlee interview is great! He really is as cool as the other side of the pillow (props to Stuart Scott, RIP).

[@Ollie_too_big256]

I love ANDY’s humor and expect it ..this was a crazy episode EARL IS HILARIOUS when he says ima sniper he does it well in the nerdy voice

[@kellercan3057]

Another fantastic episode/ interview! Thank you!!

[@jackneri9]

Earl is a LEGEND

[@61Slughi]

Best podcast is when both have great voices and the conversation flows. The two hours flew by.

[@rostamr4096]

Amazing story, if you ask me, he deserves two medals of Honor

[@wildbill60]

Excellent guest and show

[@michaelchurgin7027]

One wouldn't expect this guy to be a total badass warrior, but he absolutely is, solid work Andy.. wish earl was my neighbor so we could drink beer 🍻 together, cheers everyone 👍

[@trowuabeatin]

Great Story!! Earl is a great American and hero. God Bless him in all his future endeavors and God Bless America 🇺🇸

[@kevos823]

I read somewhere that the reciprocating charging handle on the scar heavy was specifically requested by Steven Segal, and that you have to be a master of the akkido under over reach around to avoid injury

[@gotfeedback01]

This was a great listen. Time went by quick. There’s some great one liners in this interview.

[@Jsrowson]

As a fellow former 52:02 Marine.. I love Earl.

[@michaelmiller7471]

Earl is a true warrior…… and he doesn’t need the “potty mouth” to prove it! A real warriors’ warrior. Kudos Msgt!

[@samuelhumphrey5908]

Such a great interview. Did not know this story. An honour to listen and learn.

[@echoredfour]

Great conversation and still have another lifetime to enjoy. Live long and prosper bro.

[@gmack3739]

Thank you both for your service and sacrifice-and thank you for this awesome episode. One my favorites so far Andy. Great stuff

[@kathyborthwick6738LakotaEmoji]

2 very humble soldiers -Amazing people!

[@In_MT]

My favorite guest! Seemed like an easy conversation between the two of you.

[@BSaunders3754]

Earl, you should look into teaching. Super rewarding and tons of fun.

[@MrBojangles2020]

already listened to this twice! love this guys attitude!

[@chrisford7033]

Did route clearance in 08-09 in Ghazni, Gardez, sharana, etc. Stayed a many night at Ghazni. Those Polish folk could cook man.

[@RHsapperdaddy1993]

best medal of honor recount i have heard

[@KevinDiazx11]

Earl is the definition of don’t judge a book by his cover 😂😂😂 someone not knowing him , they will think he is a nerd but lil they know he can bury you ..awesome podcast

[@internet_internet]

I know former SEAL’s and a former Delta Colonel who you would never look twice at if you passed by them in a grocery store. They look that way by their own personal design. They don’t want to stand out in any way. They want to blend in, and be left alone.

[@jaredchandler4491]

Total stud-funny AF! He is a national treasure--somehow great Americans keep showing up🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@EbonheartPact_2E_572]

What a story! This man is the true deal. Andy is too but what a story

[@chipstanley3057]

Another great show!!!!

[@Iberian247]

Earl could host his own podcast series. But I think he’d make a GREAT educator or instructor.

[@chriswourms4639]

I herd this dude on another podcast and was stoked to see this one

[@keithbook3071]

Someone tell Jack car to watch this interview so that he can possibly learn to allow a back-and-forth dialogue

[@williamstocker584]

Love Jack but he does tend to talk over his guests alot

[@fyremanjef]

It’s “just”[called] The Medal of Honor. Awesome.

[@BeerCigarsAndTexas]

I respect and love everything that andy does and in many ways he's an idol to me. That being said I really wish he wouldn't downplay his military background like he does because the fact of the matter is that he is a hero to many out there including myself

[@deanallen8450]

The most unassuming vato around. Marine Force recon, green beret, medal of Honor, spaghetti 🍝 arms.

[@benjaminperez7328]

Chingon

[@arthav6165]

Great episode!

[@canyoncajun]

Great conversation , honestly a privilege to hear these stories and accounts first hand. side note - anyone else gone from dark to light roast lately ? Heard it has more caffeine .

[@chadd633]

Those personalities are rare man.. what a cool dude

[@sergeylypko2696]

What a wonderful and pleasant individual. Just an all around standup guy

[@johnsheetz7983]

This guy is awesome

[@D18racer51]

Holly shit what a story and what a funny guy…this was one of my favorite for sure! Thank you Andy and Earl

[@douglasachtzehn6676]

Another great one Andy! Earl was awesome and so down to earth.

[@andy47456]

A+++ content. Truly humble guy.

[@kendostick1337]

Plumlee is a Rockstar hope he does something in the media space

[@JR-wo3sn]

Semper fi brother. You're still one of us lol

[@twrecks9119]

Awesome interview.

[@trowuabeatin]

Andy, could you please list the name of the book you and Earl talk about? The one that’s about MOH Award recipients. I’d love to get and read it. Thank you

[@traviskeeler5655]

What always amazes me about guys like Mr. Plumlee and Roger Hayden and many of the other "older" ( seasoned?) warriors is that these dangerous and deadly, tip of the spear type dudes all look like your beer swillin "Uncle Bob"....lol.... just regular men who perform extraordinary tasks and then head home to be Dads and husbands and brothers. Great interview Mr. Stumpf. ( Not sure you've ever interviewed any Canadian S.F dudes from JTF-II who served in Afgh. but that would be an incredible conversation....just sayin....)

[@snowroaches]

I was in from 99 to 03, and yeah the "I'd better deploy before this thing is over" was a legit concern.

[@BennyAndTheJets86]

Good stuff guys.

[@davecollins6113]

Can understand why somebody up there likes that guy, the way he tells a story. All about avoiding holes in the wrong places, somehow, he managed to do it.

[@2naturesownplace]

@Mike I'm still surprised you haven't found a Wood-Fired oven to put in the game room area. I've been using the one in the garage over the electric for about five years now love it

[@paulc8588]

wow, what a humble and cool guy

[@stephenleskow7959]

Omg he had me dying. Great show.

[@Chertoff88]

This is super saiyan triple black belt level sarcasm.

[@Nonukes2024]

God.... Bless Earl...

[@kiwi_comanche]

Legendary conduct.

[@billmorton6977]

Hello and good morning everyone. Have a great week y'all

[@arty97234]

Roots in Oklahoma...Solid Dude

[@Skeletors_Closet]

Present and accounted for!

[@boneharvester_eth4021]

Scar 20 putting in that work 🇺🇸 💯 1:05:50

[@griffoutdoortv5882]

Earl is the best!

[@jlucas9342]

I would have like to know how he felt about leaving just as Marsoc was being stood up and the fact he most likely would have been pulled from the recon community into Marsoc had he stayed. They just about immediately started deploying to Afghanistan in 06-07 where as his SF route delayed another deployment until 2013. In regards to chasing the dragons tail it's interesting they missed talking about that being another example

[@dakotahlong7395]

Great point

[@jansobieski7470]

Pardon my ignorance but I just tuned in... is MSgt Plumlee perhaps the son or grandson of SGTMGR Plumlee of We Were Soldiers Once fame...?

[@charliemikefishing4424]

Anyone know what brand company makes those green cans of water that are always on the desk during the podcast?

[@ClearedHotPodcast]

Fieldcraft survival

[@ajcsonsforge6370]

Move to Florida. Dunnellon or Brooksville it's rual enough to really get back and close enough to bigger city's like Tampa or Gainesville

[@shannon7206]

He is so entertaining, he and Andy get along great!!! 2 cut from the same cloth lmao!

[@nateeckstine9147]

Good view of a man

[@Worstpersonsingular]

This guy rules

[@HarrisonFord11]

You can tell Earl the active duty MOH recipient isn’t taking Andy’s bait to rag on the commander in chief on a public platform.

[@MrDwhite4444]

Great episode, like most SF, or SEALS I've met, corny dorks absolute great guys. No offense cool cat

[@austin3598]

Andy still hates steven seagull I see 😂

[@ascendotuum9586]

Roy P Benavidez went through 9 hours of hell in Vietnam, and waited waaayyy too long for his Medal of Honor.

[@Nediler]

Earl and Andy mesh pretty well - same sense of humor.

[@BlackBeardsDelight338]

Good morning indeed

[@danielroberts7627]

Watching this, you just informed me of mike day. Damn man, sure hate to hear that.

[@Frisco_Schills]

Earl has that extra dry Andy humor.

[@donowen5889]

Nothing helps like a little cleared hot in the AM

[@jasonmolina5148]

Us army guys dnt hav great hair like navy dudes but our sense of humor gets us laid.

[@battlehard861]

I was in ghazni 10-11. ⛩ cop bande sardeh. 🤘🏽
