Love how you made this one black and white lol

Knowing Andy, it was an accident. Lol!

I don't think I'd recognize Jocko in color

[@blademaster9575]

@Will See i've seen a lot of jocko jokes but this might be the best ever 😂😂

[@28gold28]

Some say Jocko puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter" others say his tears can cure cancer in kids..... its a shame he doesnt cry.

[@seatato4468]

His non shooting eye has the ability for a single tear to come out but even that's hard to get too

[@nemovetinari9063]

Watch the podcast with Jonny Kim. We saw his gentle side

[@danielmarshall4587]

THANK YOU that brought a smile.

Andy leads the league in laughing at his own jokes, and I am here for it.

[@rob14539]

“It’s a learning curve” like getting the mike stand out of the guests face 😂😂

I think that is Jocko's normal position in his studio but the cameras that record Jocko's podcast are they 3 tripods opposite this camera view.

[@esthahyahgeh6533]

Hahaha totally.

[@upsidedownflapjack]

Fun fact: Jocko didn't take MREs into combat. He ate spent brass.

Fantastic fella’s, this civilian a$$h0le so appreciates what you do !

[@withoutfurtheradoforever]

He ate spent brass and shit anchors. You forgot that part.

[@bigcncguy]

But he wouldn’t, if your gaging on Greek yogurt the taste of metal isn’t that good either

Andy is the Ryan Reynolds of the Seal community. Can't ever stop laughing!

[@blehbleh222]

Rumour has it that it was filmed in colour but then. Jocko took a breath.....

[@mhsandifer]

And any Corona in a 10yd radius perished. But CBS says the virus is racist so why wouldn't Jocko be privileged?

[@captinsnoochieboochie]

Bro dont mess around, that's a true story!

[@Vixctor13]

Interesting to see how Jocko is completely different here when talks to someone with a similar background.

[@martinstrubin4234]

I listen to a fair amount of podcasts of Joko’s and Andy’s, and this is by far, the best one I’ve ever listened to. To have both of them talking of old times on the teams was fantastic! You could see how relaxed each one was with the other and it was wonderful to witness. Just 2 warriors shooting the shit and enjoying each other’s company. Outstanding! I’m thankful that our country still produces men such as these two heroes. God bless them both.

[@KnightsoftheApex]

Great to see Jocko finally have the CEO of Black Rifle Coffee on his podcast

[@tonyfknb3896]

This is Andy's podcast, Jocko is the guest. This sarcasm or a joke attempt

"UP AT A REASONABLE HOUR"

[@ARockOrSomething]

This is an underrated comment...

[@austinlyon69]

I died laughing hearing about how Andy would put on higher rank tabs in certain meetings just to give his input on shit 😂😂😂

[@frankydoyle3248]

Imagine the trouble he’d get in if higher ups found out about that at the time 😂

[@1shooter402]

Claustrophobia sometimes gets worse with age too. It’s a mother!

[@the_secret_squirrel]

Any veteran knows that is probably the biggest big dick move ever. What I hope doesn't get lost in the wash, is that he was doing it to protect his guys, not for his own ego, and that makes it so fucking awesome.

[@XRLostCause]

"Stumpfback Mountain" gets its origin story.

[@StephenHowson]

Podcast really got going around the 1hr 35 moment. I love that line about most peaceful time is on operations - such a hard thing to explain but so relatable and so damn true.

[@surferdude1012]

I always appreciate Andy and Jocko just talking.

[@matyas4878]

Two of my favorite guys. The friendship between these two is interesting

[@Ryan-ll1pk]

I'm pretty sure Jocko can start a fire by rubbing two pieces of ice together

[@PAPOFELI]

Poseidon has blessed us

[@TheOutlawMan]

Andy's story of becoming an O is probably my favorite so far. That's exactly the kinda sneaky shit mentality I want to see in the Teams and SF, especially T1 operators

[@johnc6655]

Big fan of Andy's podcast and the guests he has. Jocko is a great guest and host. Add Mike Ritland and this would be awesome.

[@russ1046]

I loved you two talking about Dick Thompson. That story is completely incredible.

[@americanfoo24]

Jocko doesn't need a intro. A intro needs Jocko.

[@reddirtrhodes2039]

The quarantine is making me slow down and breathe. It has given me a fresh perspective. Not gonna chase the dollar as hard as I was before. Going to chase happiness for a while. Thanks Andy and Jocko, for everything.

As an ER nurse and a vet I'm always amazed at how many guys who show up at the emergency department who not only clam to be a combat vet but super recon special forces super jumper oss sniper.

[@boblasher1]

Dude, I am an "old" infantry Jarhead that works in the ER as a nurse at the Minneapolis VA. All those guys are Spec Ops!! Don't believe the services have any cooks, bakers or candle stick makers anymore!

[@BROperatorTIME]

Nice profile pic bro

[@cndla4st]

Not a Vet, but an ER nurse. More than 1 have stated "I took bullets for you" and aren't even combat vets. Much respect for all Vets, even those that misrepresent experience. In awe of those that have had boots on the ground.

[@davidw1390]

I never understood this. Like... MOST people don't even join the military (even with the relative ease of basic nowadays) it's okay to be the guy who does laundry, chips paint, or counts boxes.

[@daniellopez2239]

If you look up "decentralized command" in the encyclopedia, you'll see Jocko's face.

Get something different each time I watch this episode, probably 3rd or 4th time now. I really enjoy the respect and friendship these two have for each other, and how relaxed they are with each other. Andy knows which buttons to push with Jocko, to get him to let his hair down a bit.

4:01 “It wasn’t an ‘of course’ to me.” 😂😂😂

[@garyworley5806]

Back in the day, after I got out of the Army, I was broke. All I ate for about a year was Ramen noodles. They were $1 a dozen so, I ate a pack in the morning and a pack at night. Now that I'm no longer broke, I still eat a pack for breakfast and a pack at night.

[@CTB2580]

I wish I had friend that cared about me like these guys do

[@brentnelson1270]

I was an airdale for 20 years. Never got shot at or never sent rounds down range. Pretty happy about that. 😊 I came home a little worse for the wear, but have 10 and 10, can walk, talk and hear thunder. When asked about my service I am quick to say that “I am a veteran, but I am not a COMBAT veteran.” I make sure to never fake the funk and hate when I see others “embellishing” their careers.

I can only imagine how some folks who don't have a military background might get lost trying to follow parts of this dialog. Good stuff.

[@DontLetTheOldManIn]

No military background, but lots of study and appreciation. Number 1 life regret, not going in. Acronyms throw you for a min but the good podcasts give the clarification and/or meaning, or you figure it out later if you listen long enough.

"if you can't even explain why something is important, it's probably wrong". sadly, you see this failure of leadership constantly, especially in the corporate world. The worst part of this, many of these type of people in management will not listen to anyone else.

41:55 God, that reminds me of something I did in Qatar. I was working as a SOLE (special ops liason element) and a bunch of AC-130 guys flew in during their rotation back to the states. The only place you could get a drink on Al-Udeid AB at the time was this bar that the Brits ran on the air operations center compound. However, the Brits being Brits, had this super-uptight attitude towards officers and enlisted drinking in the same establishment (I know, I know, believe me, I was an O-4 rotor-head who had gotten drunk with plenty of enlisted FEs and gunners, I thought it was stupid too). So I told the enlisted guys to take off their rank and just tell any Brit they talked to that they were either lieutenants or captains, based on how old they looked. The Brits eventually tipped to what we were doing and tried to kick out some of the gunship guys but we told them to basically fuck off (but in a nice, polite way). My colonel asked me to please not do that again the next day, but I'm pretty sure he thought rules were as dumb as I did. Ah well, we're all civilians now, just water under the bridge....

[@ryntimothy21]

[@goncalomedeiros1589]

I never understood claustrophobia, I've been stuck for 30mins on the tiniest elevator with a person who was freaking out, scuba-dived with no fear of drowning or anything, have no problem being inside tiny boxes or a storage chest, but really tight tunnels in which I have to crawl, specially if there is a bit of water, nah man I can't. There is this test in my country's army SOF's, which is called "Tunnel of Death", a tight tunnel filled with water almost to the top. You have to grab your rifle and crawl on your back, and to breath you need to glue your nose to the top of the tunnel which has a tiny gap. Thing is, the officers stomp the water to agitate it, so you are kinda drowning all the way to the end. Just writing this makes me so anxious, I can't, my worst nightmares are tight tunnels, but just being on a closed space doesn't bother me, it's so weird :///

[@experiment54]

maybe its in your DNA , something bad happened to ancestors in tunnels and they've passed the stay away from that shit gene to you
