- Sam Mackey retired from the U.S. Navy with over 20 years of service in SEAL Teams, having served first as a Sniper at SEAL Team Eight before pivoting to SEAL Team Four. During his career he deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, Uganda, Cameroon, and more. He's NEARLY a record-holder, having taken a shot at the title (literally) with a particularly long-distance engagement during his time in Afghanistan.

As soon as I heard the Javelin mentioned, I paused and went and got a cup of coffee.
Hold-up…did he just say he got stationed at Base Tinker to be a Gay Guard? 😂 Great episode.
GATE guard.
@@Mr_Clean😂 I know, man. I was just playin around cause of Sam’s “layin in bed with the other dude” story.
@@tdunn2congrats on leveling up to juvenile SOH
@@jessee7334 🤣 you have no idea what a compliment that is!
Andy keeps getting Sam off topic 😂 “oh you’re doing concrete? I spilled brick mud all over a living room”
Dude this guy is top notch!!
Andy, can we get a episode with your top 10 javelin stories?
How to lose a guy in 10 days 😂😂😂😂bahaha that was a great story
The wife and I visited the coffee shop last June while on vacation in Kalispell. Purchased a few items . Thanks for the LEO discount!
So far I'm loving his stories, especially the Ranger panties one. 😂😂😂😂😂
That was hilarious.
dude the look on the guys face that walked in would have been hilarious
This is a great episode ..
Happy to say listened to all of Andy’s content and this was the one that made me laugh the most between the normal comical tales the javelin and 12 year old cementing the inside of a house 😅
Good way to start the morning.
Like the guy! Good luck with Outsider man.
dude I can't wait to use my week vacation! I'm coming to Montana and checking out the coffee shop
Bro. Me too. I live in So Cal but thinking about driving up there and checking out the coffee shop and Flathead Lake.
@@silent3135 I hear nothing but good things about Montana
Me too. Haven't been there since I was a child, but Montana is definitely at the top of my list for states to retire to. Born and raised in Orange County California. Lived here all my life, but am so disappointed in our state government. Soft on crime, tax on everything and cost of living through the roof. I'm retiring in seven years with a nice retirement, but living here, money won't stretch as far so I'm outta here Fall of 2031.
@John-zg4ly California looks like it's falling apart sadly..everyone I talk to say it is..but also everyone says Montana is a great place to retire in..hopefully housing prices don't go nuts tho
Andy, get Charlie Sheen to come on your show!
Andy doesn’t sell coke
He just interviewed Kevin Costner
So is that your way of saying there won't be an Iron Clad-Change Agents Season 3??? Love your work, your coffee shop is on my list of places to visit. (Its not an exciting list LOL)
Sure sounds like it
A full auto 30-06 is terrifying
I was a naval aviator for 15 years, and had a run in where someone had to immediately justify a decision that was made from the top in a weird and intrusive way. I was going through an advanced SERE training in Spokane, WA, but had already been through normal SERE 7 eight years earlier. Subsequently, I'd done an sea tour and a shore tour and was joining a special projects squadron that had higher SERE requirements.
It was the day Bergdahl was released from the Taliban. I actually didn't know that it had happened, and just got out of bed, and went to class. All the students are in the theater and one of the instructors storms in. He was the only Navy instructor, and was generally a pretty chill and jolly guy, to the degree a SERE instructor behaves this way. That day he starts off by ripping into us. Telling us we have no idea what goes on to recover POWs and that if we had "preconceived" notions, we were naive. So the whole class is looking at this guy, trying to figure out what he was going on about. Previously, his lessons were friendly in nature and had a lot of jokes, but his attitude was 180 degrees off (after this, he went back to his normal personality). Then he said how the president negotiated a prisoner exchange to get Bergdahl back, and to think the US policy was anything other than this, was stupid (oceania has always been at war with east asia vibes).
A lot of the guys in the class were very junior, not even qualified in their platforms yet, and pretty intimidated. Additionally the instructor said there'd be no questions, but I was the second ranking member of the group, the highest ranking Navy student, a recent combat veteran of Iraq, so I felt enough moxy to stand up and ask one. I told him that when I went to standard SERE eight years ago they told me the US government would never negotiate for a POW release unless it was unilateral from the other side with no caveats. They wouldn't pay ransoms. They wouldn't trade prisoners. They'd do everything they could to get us out, but if never give into demands. One reason is that it will encourage taking prisoners rather than say, leave a wounded enemy on the battlefield for us to pick up. Another is the enemy could always use it as propaganda against us that our government was doing nothing to get us out, because they weren't meeting their demands. And that many men survived hellish conditions for years in Korea and Vietnam, and kept the faith. I told the instructor this, and he didn't even answer, just glared at me and stormed out of the room. Strangely, that same day he was very nice to me, like more so than usual. I would bet that he was made to give this speech, and didn't believe it himself (how could he...).
After he left, I asked the rest of the class, who mostly just finished SERE, if they were told what I was told, and, of course, they had. I told them, not to listen to that day's outburst, and assume the policy was the same as before. Everyone agreed, and the instructors went about the rest of the day as if nothing happened. It was such an Orwellian experience, and not the only, or worst, time in my career. I just thought I'd share based on the ass covering email to the SEALs after the pride month post.
PS - When I was in high school track, during the cross country season, I'd only eat a cup or rice and a can of tuna, and some onions slices, and I was in amazing shape. I am a believer in the rice and tuna diet!
Regarding your PS, I did that too in college (tuna and rice, not cross country) to stay in shape and someone I knew got mercury poisoning on the same diet and I switched to chicken breasts. They're more expensive but mercury poisoning looked very painful.
@@procram That was too expensive for me growing up. Another factor was you didn't need to prepare the tuna. So you could cook enough rice for a day or two, and not have to do anything else. I got lucky though with the mercury poisoning, because I ate so much tuna.
Fuckin glorious. Been waiting on a guy that Andy put thru pool comp
He’s had other guys on before
Andy you will love being a grandparent, if I would have known how much fun they are I would have had them first❤️
Best story so far😂
pls Andy try and get Shawn Ryan on your show and hopefully he gets you on his.
Did I miss the part about the almost record?
The shaker holds the tuna can for full effect.
As far as soaking goes - 35 years ago 4 hour drive to Las Vegas drive thru chapel wedding 48 hour weekend later annulment back in class Monday...
In the British army i think we had gay people allowed to enlist by 2001 i joined up in 99 and somewhere between then and 01 im pretty sure the law was changed after i left the army i started working in a place in dundee and we had a gay guy working with us and i thought he was brilliant i actually had a night out with him and his partner and it was one of the funniest nights out ive ever had they have a great sense of humour
So no more change agents?
1:09 Ironclad??? 🤯
Andy is talking about brick mortar, but close enough to concrete 😂
Andy can you try and get John Shrek McPhee on the show? Keep up the hard work Andy and Michael this podcast is one of a kind.
Sweet Troub hat, great golf club
Love my Drink Holder by Outsider, fits everything
Sam ans Andy: please do not sell to a Chinese based company.
😂fire ep. 🔥
Ok, so I know he said he went to tinker to be a gate guard, but after that story I heard "gay guard". Funny story and had to be embarrassing as hell to go through and now retell to the world. That's what you get for eating that tuna slime paste! Another great guest to introduce us to Andy! Thanks!
👋🏻
This is when I think I waved hello to your dad.
i almost made it as an astronaut...almost...
Glad you decided to do the intro in video!
PS: had to stop at 19 min. I spent some time in the CA correctional system as a kid and his story is BS. The only way they would let him leave a successful undercover drug sale is if there was a larger investigation.
Every situation is different and I’m sure he left out details. I can tell you I had a friend who brokered a small weed deal in San Diego and three months later flying back into lax from Europe was arrested at the airport and held for weeks waiting to be transported to San Diego before he could make bail. The charges eventually were reduced to the lowest level felony and he got probation. The police have up to the statute of limitations on the crime to charge a suspect after they have the evidence.
Thats simply not true
man, shut up.
Not true.
@@Jc87134 sorry but your story is hearsay. You weren't there and you didn't serve any time. My accounts come from firsthand experience. There were definitely other inconsistencies in his story as well.
Is this the guy from Splinter Cell?
Andy, how TF do you not know what TSC is 😂😂?
I know you guys were using Navy SEAL science lol. I don’t think Al Pacino had that child old-fashioned way. I think there are a lot of extra variables in that equation
I’m glad I had kids early I definitely could agree with waiting until you’re older.
Andy nobody joins because this page! But if they put Charlie sheen in it….
Oh no. What did you do to him lol.
Idk if the BYU TikTok’s on soaking are real. I doubt students will be so eager to record themselves confessing to something that could get them expelled from the school. Then again maybe thats the kind of person thats dumb enough to think soaking is a real exception.
What many BYU students would do to get past “soaking,” what they would do is go to Vegas for a long weekend, get married, “make BOOM BOOM, have that marriage annulled then rinse and repeat.
Don’t buy Yeti anyway
What's the context /timestamp here? I'm still early in the listen
😂😂😂
hose water from Montana hahaha
