[@ThomasHendrickson]

My life won’t be complete until I hear him say “Uhh....ok bawse”

It’s a little scary if you know what Clints voice really sounds like. I hope he’s okay.

"Have you ever been inside a whole foods"..... lord clint: "a whut?"

[@RED1775-u]

Hands down the best part of the interview. 🤣

[@SuperHoneyOil]

Its owned, and is a funder for the Republican party. So not a liberal store at all.

[@RED1775-u]

TK uhhhhh then why do they forcefully eject you from their stores if you are armed....?

[@SuperHoneyOil]

@@RED1775-u No clue, but what I said is still true. And thats incredibly general too, plenty of places do it so they can have stores in CA and not have store by store policy.

[@thunderranch4466]

Thank you to James and Ryan for one of the funnest interviews we had done in a long time! Looking forward to getting you both back here on the ranch for some more shooting! Semper Fi Clint and Heidi

[@GWOTUSMC0311]

Great interview. Clint still rocking it!! Semper Fi and happy Thanksgiving to Thunder Ranch.

[@j.r.777]

Clint, thank you for your service to our Country sir! A year after my Dad and Mom got married, my Dad got drafted into the Army and sent to Vietnam. While my Dad was over there, he was exposed to Agent Orange. Then in 1989, when I was in high school, my Dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, directly linked to Agent Orange. Our family lost everything, literally, overnight. My Dad was a long distance truck driver from the time he graduated high school, until his diagnosis. He is now 71, almost completely 100% immobile, is in a wheelchair, and requires continuous home care. He gets seen and treated at the VA, but they don’t do a lot to help him. Nor has the Government, even though they are the ones responsible for his disease, and losing not only his career, but everything he ever had, they have done virtually very little for him. No monetary settlement, no 24/7 care at their expense etc.. They do have him set up for some home health care but continuously try and take away the amount he gets. We then have to threaten with law suites so they do not decrease his care, even though his disease continues to get worse. Seeing all of the crap that my Dad has had to go through and then fight for rights and care rightfully entitled and due to him, it has made me appreciate and empathize what you all have gone through! So again, thank you very much for your service sir! And for your videos. I have learned a tremendous amount from you and your videos.

[@ninjacouch9351]

So, did anyone crack wise about those short shorts from that training? Those things were pretty hilarious.

[@richarddeveas4537]

"My hair was darker and my heart was lighter!" Clint just quoted Lee Marvin in his role in "The Professionals!"

[@casualobserver3145]

Cool!

[@Dswagger-D]

My favorite part was watching Jame's physical discomfort at the thought that people still use and like single shot shotguns.

[@michaelhedgepeth5106]

Yeap, mine too. I can still hold a couple extra shells in my fingers and keep it reloaded as fast as need be! Dove hunting as a 12 or 13 yr old taught me how to Keep a shell under the hammer ALL the time! Old guys used to sit in the shade and gamble on my missing a bird!

[@allyhellkiller5535]

Have to be good to use them :-)

[@crankymcgee]

the best was seeing him hear how the 1911 is his favorite gun

[@toddfluhr4655]

Or when he made fun of appendix carry...

[@mot0rhe4d40]

Had a single shot 16 ga years ago, and for some reason my brother, brother in law and a number of others would hound me about buying that light scatter gun all the time. They are just handy, light and simple. What's not to like.

He seems like one of those legit old school badasses you'd love to have a beer with and just listen to his stories.

[@The_Void_Staring_Back]

except that he just explained that the only alcohol he's ever had in his life was half a beer back in the 80's lol..... but I definitely relate to the basis of your point. He's definitely a good ol' gun lovin' American boy who isn't soft as baby shit and feminized like 95% of millennials now days...

“AC/DC...pretty solid” just when I though Clint’s stock couldn’t go any higher...

[@Brykk]

If asked if i could meet anyone in history, living or dead, who would it be? Clint smith is definitely on the short list. Ive had a job that allowed me to meet many, many celebrities, atheletes, etc , and clint is way more appealing than any of them. Just good old fashioned, down to earth, straight talking guys are getting to be harder to find. Then this video tells me he is also a fellow hoosier just makes it even better.

[@Brykk]

Papi Maximus then you can understand why i chose my words carefully when i said he was on the SHORT LIST. list being the key word here. And if you really want to pick nits, the phrase “short list” is relative and you have no way of knowing what MY definition of the term is for the statement. If you consider that there have been untold hundreds of millions(?) of people that have lived throughout history, i could actually put a thousand people on the list and may define that as a “short list”. Quit trying to sound like a know-it-all and correcting other people who are just making positive comments about something they enjoy. Not only do i not care about your opinion on my comment, but i also dont need to be corrected on what i meant to say.

[@truckchuck5601]

That was fantastic. Clint has good humor and the questions asked were great.

[@operator1192]

Holy, I learned so much more about Clint...the man is full of surprises!

[@Biodoc100]

Probably one of my favorite parts of this interview was actually a picture of James and Clint in the class, and Clint's shirt said "staff." Speaks volumes about him...

Two things I admire most are his answer to "what is your greatest accomplishment" and how he spoke of his beloved dog(s). Having lost two of my dogs this year, Argos and Hildy, I can see on his face how much his furry baby meant to him instantly.
