Well, I teared up. 6’3 210lb tattooed crybaby here. May God bless you and your kids.

Every time you have a guest I think they cannot get any better than the last, then here we are. God bless Mrs. Black and her family

Mom of sons, a niece, and nephew all deployed at the same time and I'm crying for you mom and wife..😭 🙏 💜 Your strength, courage, and grace are inspiring. Sending Many Blessings for you, the boys, and your family.

I’m usually not one for emotional stories but I could not stop watching this…what an amazing woman to have strength like this…this podcast continues to get better and better

Whew this was a serious misty eye fest. with two small kids myself, I can't imagine what she was going through. Strong woman, and those kiddos are lucky to have her as a momma.

“You’re a glass half full kind of woman” This is a great example of Andy’s interview skill.

Andy, you have quickly become my favorite podcast. Appreciate your down to earth relatable approach. Continued prayers for Michelle and her family.

Same here. I heard her from Mike drop and then immediately went out and bought her book to support her and her family.

Half way through this, it finally clicked. That video was probably the hardest thing I've watched. I can't imagine what Mrs Black went and continues to to through. Thank you Andy & Mrs Black for sharing this heartbreaking story.

Great subject. The people left behind often get forgotten when the story is told.

Just bought her book on Amazon. Hopefully I'm one of many inspired to do so after listening to this Thanks for having her on Andy

RIP Bryan, Michelle you're amazing! Great pod Andy as always.

Andy, thank you. Michelle, you are amazing. This conversation was an inspiration in so many ways. Again, thank you both.

Another great and straight forward podcast. A great way to start off every week. Keep going strong! Thanks again!

The video had me shaking. It’s visceral and real- it’s what most of us GWOT vets have experienced. Wherever this guy is, bless his soul. Til Valhalla, brother. I’ll meet you there.

I watched Mrs Black's appearance on Mike Ritland's podcast just days ago, and it was incredibly moving as well as informative. Kudos to Andy for having her on as well.

Man….this was a great podcast. A tear jerker for sure. I also was unaware of this situation and viewed the footage of this event (raw). It’s footage that does not need to be online, that’s all I will say about that. Thank you Andy for having Michelle on and letting this story be told.

This was another amazing podcast and the fact Andy said he hopes to find himself in a room with the man that watermarked and released the video was awesome get mike glover and a few others for a amazing wall to wall counseling

Just started but looking fwd to this listen. Bought her book after her Mike Drop episode and I'm glad I did. Incredibly badass woman doing her incredibly badass husband's story justice.

Echoes of the Patrick Tillman story, very unfortunate and unacceptable. Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸 Ms Black is a crusader🇺🇸

Just bought the book. Thanks for having her on the show Andy!

This is such a great show. Andy, very professional. Michelle, thank you for your courage. Thank you both for speaking truth. Godspeed to you both

I wasn’t expecting this one but glad it happen

Im so sorry for you and your familys loss. Im so grateful for your husband and all the men that have fallen in battle for this great country and my freedom

Thank you both, shared.

Really sad story but awesome she is exposing the truth. Wish her and her kids the best. Thanks for having her on

Thank you Andy and Michelle for a great podcast. 👍 🙏

Wow, such an amazing podcast, but certainly not the one to listen to while putting on makeup in the morning. With as great as this episode is, this one was tough for me to get through. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Great work Michelle. God bless you and your sacrafices.

Damn… what a story. I was an Army Brat and have been wanting to hear from a Dependent for a little while. Michelle Black: May the Lord continue to grant you with the powerful spirit you have to tell your story and to continue to embolden you to do so… sorry don’t get to religious but needed to get that out

New Cleared Hot Podcast....means its Monday. Lets get through this morning.

Holly shit Andy. You have always been an excellent interviewer, but you excelled at this one. A perfect mixture of compassion and humor. This one pulls at the heart strings. I cannot fathom what this brave woman has been through. I hope one day, the absolute truth will come out, and at least she can have some closure. I would definitely like to see Andy and maybe Mike Glover accompany her when she decides to approach the military and ask the tough questions. I can't think of many other more qualified subject matter experts than these two. Hand Salute Michelle. Your husband is the definition of a hero. Semper Fi.

I have always enjoyed Andy’s interviews. The quality and professionalism.. with his own personality added to the mix… has grown exponentially in the last few months. Each podcast gets better and better

Wow. Great but tough to listen to episode. Thanks Andy and Michelle.

Agree with other comments - that was a great podcast. What a brave and awesome lady Michelle Black is. Amazing effort to uncover the truth. It is so sad and fascinating how quickly organizations with get to "the bottom" of a problem. Yet almost no organization works to get to "the top" of the problem. And that is almost always where the problem lies. Root cause analysis in many cases is simply another euphemism for getting to the bottom. It is no wonder that Jocko and Echelon Front have such a thriving business around extreme owners and true leaders taking responsibility. Way to go Andy, you are getting so good at these.

Amazing podcast. Michelle is a ROCK! Amazing lady and Andy you handled with great professionalism.

Wow Andy, your interview skills are pretty good. Getting better each show

My husband was in the military, not in SF. He had a hard time trying to discipline our boys after being away for 6-8 months. I had to talk to him and explained that he couldn't be away for a long time and come home and try to exert his role as a dad. He stays home for 6 months and then is gone for 6 months deployment. Sometimes, my husband would be gone for 12 months (hardship tour). I am very independent. I also have a job working in a bank, so the long separation did not bother me as much. Plus, raising 2 boys was wild, lol. So, I was a homemaker and a Red Cross volunteer, plus I work in a bank. I loved my life as a military. I basically grew up in a military base. Missed the closeness that I felt and had. Civilian life is totally different, big culture shock for me, and then entered a Church of God ministry, which is a different lifestyle in itself. But I was unfortunate that both husbands were not able to stay faithful in the marriage, which caused the divorce from the first one and separation from the second one, and I now live here in Texas.

It would be a great listen to have brcc and others speak on this situation!! As well as your presence with your friends from both sides of military

Brilliant interview and what an amazing lady!!!

Outstanding interview Andy and Michelle is truly a woman who owns her own power.

Another amazing episode. Andy you are an amazing person.

If you didn't at least tear up during the notification segment, you have no soul. Andy I hope your "meet" goes well!

Andy you're a badass, keep up the inspiration for us lost youngins.

Great job Andy

Wow she is a glass half full kinda person. Great interview!!

The part where you both spoke about the video being released made me physically angry, national media/social media have lost any sense of humanity and moral responsibility.

Andy is a real gentleman. Pleasure to watch his work.

Outstanding Lady!!! So Powerful

When I was younger I used to ask myself where this kind of women went... Then I discover the answer.

What a terrible price some of our military families have to pay. God bless Michelle and the kids.

Great Listen.

A good listen.

I've been on the child end of that conversation, and it sucks.

🙏🙏🙏 to her. . I don't regret my service but I seen plenty in there

The section regarding chess, military, and intelligence reminded me of working at the VA years after serving in the military and constantly being told by non-Veteran managers that servicemembers had the education and intelligence levels of a 9th grader at best.

As far as I know, the Australian SAS medics, spend 12 mths in hospital ER's before joining their teams.

What an absolutely amazing person.

I am so sorry for her and the children's loss... this one killed me. My Squadron lost 15 last tour. I still can not face those Widows.

The Navy Corpsman she's referring to were Reconnaissance Corpsman attached to USMC Recon or Raider Battalions.

Andy Stumpf, I appreciate what you do! Great shirt! I have one just like it!

Man this was heavy. I remember watching the video and being absolutely disgusted by the entire situation.

Wow this one hit me hard 😭

100% accurate, “it’s terrorism.”

Sincere respect to Michelle and her family for being strong. Sad this video was out in open for her kids look upon . This whole story by the military was a sham and those responsible should have been given an article 15 and removed from military. Families of those fallen should never be lied to.

Man what a sad story. But unfortunately SNAFUs like these are the norm in military

I remember coming across the video with music edited over by just spending time on youtube. I have also seen the same video with the actual audio including the screams etc. There was another video I saw which was taken later on after they all probably have died. It shows the dead bodies up close and then the group of terrorists talking with the bikes in the background. I was furious so i cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like for her and the family of those who lost someone that day. Not easy to watch at all.

Everyone who watches this should check out Jocko's podcast with the USS Liberty sailors....the government is NOT your friend.....

Would love to see Shawn Ryan, Tu Lam, or Nicholas Irving on the podcast! #TYFYS

1:00:38 "And when you don't do that... there's a reason that your book is sitting between us" Andy that was messed up lol. I know you're not coming from a bad place, but man that didn't have to be said like that 😂😂.

With similar aged kids and a dangerous job 1hr10m ish mark turned into an “im not crying, your crying”

It's so sad to lose a man that's sounds so talented

As a former army wife, I can tell you that Ms. Black is not alone regarding resistance from the military about the specifics of her husband's death. Prior to 9-11, we knew several widows that had the same experience when wanting more info regarding how their spouse died! And WTF about Trump being an asshole to a woman whose hubby died in combat?! I swear, Trump has the worst impulse control!

I paused the video when she told her kids that their dad was dead to feel and imagine the emotion

I've got to say seeing the original video of those guys gave me nightmares. But now it makes me fucking furious for payback.

Andy was considering ripping up the carpet so she could have a tissue. He was SCANNING the room for anything to give her.

Could you interview some buds drop outs or some of these leaders that make purely selfish decisions for their careers?I'm sure there some sick stories out there

Brcc Mac V Sog coffee blend is my favorite

Gob bless this Woman

Amazing woman.

It sounds like Brian was an awesome dude. Sorry for her loss and lies about it.

💔

Woooo!!!

The military like a lot of organizations incentivize C.Y.A. (cover your ass) thinking. Not sure how that changes. People are people the same everywhere

1:59:16 “I will fuck their shit up.”

I'd love to see andy go all cleared hot on that dude who profited from releasing that video. The word that immediately comes to mind is despicable.

How can you have any respect for main stream media? Why would you even show that video? Have some respect for the families.
