Like you wouldn’t believe. Imagine todays youth having to accomplish what these men accomplished. Bunch of undesirable anti Americans are a sickness a parasite like sickness. In this country. Shouldn’t be allowed to live in my country. That country being the beautiful United States of America.
My eyes started sweating a little when Dave was telling Bud what inspired him to become a pilot and I think Dave was on the verge as well. I’m so stoked Dave was able to be at this podcast.
Somehow I just didn't put together who this man was, then Jocko said his plane was Old Crow! Ive seenand put my hand on that aircraft at Wright Patterson AFB. I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes what an honor to get to listen to this hero talk about his life and experiences. This is the best podcast ever.
Another legendary podcast, with the living legend, and American treasure Col. Clarence "Bud" Anderson. The last living American triple ace and dual air-war veteran. For a former Marine grunt that was too dumb to fly but was always enamored with the warbirds and the men that flew them since I was a little kid, this was next level. I just now ordered Bud's book and hope that my copy is autographed. Thank you, Jocko, for inviting the Colonel onto your show as I truly appreciate what you do. Also, you should fulfill Bud's request to read the audio version of his book as I'm certain that would be an honor for you! SFMF
@@92naz32 Well done. I looked it up while I was listening too, but I only listened to it yesterday. Do me a favour and leave me your copy in your will when you die, if you die first.
I got goosebumps when Dave told his childhood story of reading about legendary pilots, and then telling Bud that “I wanted to be you..I wanted to be you..”
A great moment, especially when you think that I’m sure there are many people out there who want to be a marine pilot hearing Dave’s story. Starts at 2:38:37 for those interested.
This was one of the best podcasts to date. Many years ago, I built a 1/48 model of Old Crow. I have a relative KIA 11 Dec 1944 in B-24J "Black Magic". He was the pilot and they caught flak returning from a bombing mission over Germany. The plane crashed in France; all were killed. They are buried in Belgium. The 357th had escort that day and it made wonder if Bud was there.
when germany anixed hungry they gave my grandfather a choice, fight for us or die. well that was a no brainer. he flew bf-109. multipule ace. he was shot down and picked up by a german U-boat. we still have the bow flag presented by the captin. after he found out that the germans murdered his family anyway even though his service promised their safety. he then flew combat missions break off from his wing and get on the tail of a us fight and not shoot they would do the dance again but he wouldnt shoot. he pulled level waggled his wings and they escourted them back to an allied air field. once there on a map he showed locations of german anti air, fuel depots, and intercepting air fields for the fighters and told them what tactics the used to jump them. then they took a tommy gun shot a few clips into the fuselage and tail and then he flew back with a heroic tale of barely making it out by the skin of his teeth. he was presented the iron cross with oak leaves. he hated the Nazis. being Russian they hated him too. I wish I had talked to him more when there was time. I was too young to know and appreciate just what he had been through.
The interviews with these men are incredibly important. I’m thankful you feel the same. You use your platform to ensure they are heard and that they will never be forgotten. Thank you, Jocko.
Man i truly love these podcasts. My favorite thing is listening to stories of veterans or older people in general. My dad is 75 and i am 24 and his stories always have me feeling amazed because his world when he was my age was so different. He always tells me it was about respect even criminals would leave you alone if they knew you were from the same area.
I'm so happy you had Bud on the podcast! I had the opportunity to see and hear him 3 weeks ago at the EAA Airventure in Oshkosh. He was there with Jack Roush, who is big into restoring P-51's. Bud actually flew in a Mustang there at 100 years old. What a hero, and I feel the same as Dave about getting to share the same space with him for a short time. He is a national treasure! Thank you, Jocko and Team! 🇺🇲
This might be one of the best Jocko podcasts yet. I really enjoyed watching this today and hearing Bud share his stories. I felt like I traveled back in time. The story of the dogfight with the Messerschmitt was incredible. I'm going to have to buy this book. Makes you proud to be an American
I wish Jocko would have started 20 yrs ago to be able to interview more WWII veterans, “The Greatest Generation Ever Produced” but as they say they all went through the Great Depression and hard time creat hard men and they all were !
If you see this check out memoirs of ww2. There are many including a man from the tuskegee air men as well as a paratrooper on dday and even veterans from other countries that served in that war
Thank you so much for this quality interview Jocko, what a absolute treat, we need to appreciate what men like this did for us to pave the way. Thanks also to Bud for taking the time, truly awesome!
100 yrs from now there will be archives of important historical information and this episode will be among them.If it wasn’t for great men like mr bud and you Jocko there wouldn’t be great men to follow.These story’s are so important.
I love your podcast so please understand when I say this is the best one I'm not just saying that. Getting not only to hear but see get wisdom from a great man and an elder is such a gift. It's like to listen to him until time runs out.
Love this interview. Bud Anderson is so humble, polite, and soft spoken. But absolute balls of steel. What is that? Now thats a MAN. 😊 God bless him. Really glad you did this interview Jocko. 🇺🇸 THANK YOU 🇺🇸
I'm so glad I found this! Too bad I didn't find it earlier. This has me starry-eyed & focused like Dad & Grandad are tellin' stories about the good ole days. I've been a huge fan of Mr. Anderson since I was a child. Jocko, is a close 2nd. This is just beautiful. I salute both of you. Thank you!
Commander Willink,, Im so glad you interviewed this man. I first saw him on a vet tv channel that was struggling for funding. Thank you for getting his story out there!
Absolutely legendary. I didn't know he was still with us. Not gonna lie I got choked up when Jocko thanked him at the end. I'm sad to see our nation devolving from men like these to whatever the fuck it is we are producing today. These men are my heros.
They are indeed hero's, I find myself as i get older, just appreciating more and more the sacrifice that generation of Americans made.... Its a shame that men like this eventually pass on.... they and there stories deserve to be told forever and above all learned from.....
It’s hard to put in words to describe how important these podcasts have been and how important BUD is to our history with all of his stories a true national treasure
Me and my dad built his plane as a model when I was a kid and it flew proudly in my room until I left home. Anderson, Yeager, hoover, and preddy we're my idols. This is beyond awesome. Thanks Jocko, y'all never cease to amaze. Now let's get a red tail angel on here!
Amazing podcast, seek out all the WW2, Korea and Viet Nam vets while you can. Have you ever interviewed a vet from " the other side"? Would be tough but interesting.
Thank you for this inspiring interview with Col. Anderson. The questions and commentaries that you and Dave presented to this living legend made this session truly memorable. We're all grateful that Bud is in good health... and that his air combat thinking is as insightful as ever.
I saw the title and knew right away that this would be an epic conversation between two war veterans. I can't remember how many times I've read Bud's book "To Fly and Fight".
Totally one of the reasons I knew I was listening to the right podcast. Jocko is a Jeti. Run a full Jocko indoc (watch all episodes) your life will change
Do more of this. History will not remember the motivation or buissness advice. Podcasts like this deserve to be in the national archives and considered national treasures.
berke turning into a kid again for this whole interview. that last little bit at the end where he tells bud about how he wanted to be like him, to his face, that was neat
Met him couple times from the Reno Air Races and other air shows. What a legend. Was shocked and absolutely ecstatic to see him on the show. This dude was a childhood hero for me. Listening and hearing his stories. Thanks Jocko
Jacko thanks for doing this amazingly important interview with Bud Anderson. What a gentleman. I think you really made his day and validated his historical life. He seemed to really like telling you about his accomplishments yet not boasting. Awesome job sir!
Great interview. Have always been a Bud Anderson fan. In Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator: The Old Crow was my plane, whenever I got to pick. Thank you for your service, and years of entertaining interviews afterward.
Thanks Dear Colonel Anderson 🦅for Your Friendship, Support and Help _(since the '90s) , thank You Dear Jim Anderson for letting me know about this valuable experience 🙂👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Saluti, Antonello, Genova, Italia .
I'm pretty quickly realizing Jocko is one of the best interviewers of all-time. It's not an easy endeavor just to conduct an interview much less be good at it but to be one of the best? It can't be taught.
These podcast with these WW2 veterans is more important now than ever. Preserving these stories is important. Another excellent episode.
I couldn't agree more. Recently the last surviving member of Easy Company past away.
Like you wouldn’t believe. Imagine todays youth having to accomplish what these men accomplished. Bunch of undesirable anti Americans are a sickness a parasite like sickness. In this country. Shouldn’t be allowed to live in my country. That country being the beautiful United States of America.
These stories MUST be recorded..
Roger that.
Although sadly, this time the Americans are fighting with the NAZIs against the Russians.
Rest in Peace General. Thank you for your service to this nation. Godspeed.
This podcast is more important and relevant than the history channel
Or any tv channel really
The current history Channel for sure, but then again it's not what it used to be.
You mean to tell me this is more important than a re-run of Pawn Stars?
@@wade6523 History Channel has ALWAYS been garbage.
@@yashjoseph3544 it was much better 25 years ago before reality TV. I enjoyed the ww2 and ww1 stuff
I could listen to these old WW2 guys and their war stories all day. Remind me of my grandfathers.
These stories. We can't let them die. They're glorious.
100 years old! Unbelievable! Thank you for your service sir!
I'm blown away at how sharp Mr. Anderson is at 100!! I hope to be half as that in my 70s if I even get there.lol such a great episode jocko!!!
My eyes started sweating a little when Dave was telling Bud what inspired him to become a pilot and I think Dave was on the verge as well. I’m so stoked Dave was able to be at this podcast.
Agree man, that was awesome to hear.
“Eyes started sweating a little…”
Never beard it put that way. Very cleaver phrasing!

I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes what an honor to get to listen to this hero talk about his life and experiences. This is the best podcast ever.

Bud’s website is out of books because I just went there to buy one. 🤣
@@josiahmorris5799 I oredered mine while watching the interview, so I was ahead of the curve!
@@92naz32 Well done. I looked it up while I was listening too, but I only listened to it yesterday. Do me a favour and leave me your copy in your will when you die, if you die first.
This was arguably one of the top 10 jocko podcasts I’ve heard/watched
I got goosebumps when Dave told his childhood story of reading about legendary pilots, and then telling Bud that “I wanted to be you..I wanted to be you..”
A great moment, especially when you think that I’m sure there are many people out there who want to be a marine pilot hearing Dave’s story. Starts at 2:38:37 for those interested.
Ah man, yeah that part got me…
Bud's autobiography is great! These guys LITERALLY had eggs and a shot of whiskey for breakfast!
Let's normalize eggs and Jameson for breakfast circa 2017 er um I mean 2022. Fuel the beast. Feed the demons. Set the standard for the day.
As opposed to figuratively having eggs and whiskey?

I've read Buds and Chuck's books and followed them forever. Sitting and listening to Bud tell the stories has been just outstanding. Thank you!
This man is a legend. Absolute legend.
As a grandson of an POW 8th Army Air Force B-24 tail gunner. I appreciated every minute of this evening’s podcast.

Some of these podcasts are irreplaceable and will be in a museum someday.
Jocko, this is some legendary content. Thank you brother.
I love listening to the jocko podcast when en route to doing something productive like work or martial arts
Phenomenal. Can't believe we can still hear these stories from the people who lived them. A different point in human history. What a hero.
Man i truly love these podcasts. My favorite thing is listening to stories of veterans or older people in general.

Hats off to that amazing human being. Respect from Romania 🇷🇴
@@MM-eo2oz ok. My bad. Thank you. Can u explain the difference just so I can learn? I think I know now that I thought about it. But just in case.
20/10 vision??? Dude sees so good that back in WW2 he could see himself doin this podcast.
I wish Jocko would have started 20 yrs ago to be able to interview more WWII veterans, “The Greatest Generation Ever Produced” but as they say they all went through the Great Depression and hard time creat hard men and they all were !

Thanks Jocko for keeping these guys on your podcasts. And the way you interact with him is a class act.
My grandfather flew with the 357th also, I love listening to these stories... So important to keep these stories alive for future generations.
Thank you so much for this quality interview Jocko, what a absolute treat, we need to appreciate what men like this did for us to pave the way. Thanks also to Bud for taking the time, truly awesome!
Holy hell you got Bud on the show. Badass!

Jocko continues to spotlight these fine American Heroes. I appreciate the respect and admiration he shows them.
I was completely enthralled, awesome podcast. My grandpa was a airplane mechanic on a aircraft carrier In the pacific theater
I think this is my favorite one ever.What a long life and incredible man.What an honor it is to listen to his stories! Priceless!
Time and tide wait for no man. We need to hear and learn from these men as the Greatest Generation will soon all be gone.
Thank you Jocko.

100 and still sharp as a tack thank you Jacko for bringing this legend in
A phuckin’ century old. Still so sharp.
This is awesome I loved the dogfights episodes with his story’s when I was a kid. These aces are my hero’s
Niiiice. Just watched him crawl out of a P-51 ….again…a couple of weeks ago at Oshkosh.
Thanks for getting this interview
This guy is the legend I needed to hear today. Very good man thank you Sir and thank you Jocko
Chuck was my grandmothers cousin, have a few pictures of them as children. I wish I would've got the chance to meet him. Rest in peace Chuck.
Very excited. I have listen to every interview of bud anderson I could find over the years.

I'd like to add how awesome a part of this podcast team Dave is and brings to the table. Jocko was really smart and lucky to get Dave.
It’s crazy thinking about how much has changed about what an aircraft is throughout Bud’s life. Amazing. Thanks for hosting this discussion.
Jacko thanks for doing this amazingly important interview with Bud Anderson. What a gentleman. I think you really made his day and validated his historical life. He seemed to really like telling you about his accomplishments yet not boasting. Awesome job sir!
Had the honor of meeting Col. Anderson at an American Fighter Aces Symposium in the late 1990's, the man is a national hero and treasure.
Great interview. Have always been a Bud Anderson fan. In Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator: The Old Crow was my plane, whenever I got to pick. Thank you for your service, and years of entertaining interviews afterward.
So dang much going on here. Cried through several parts. Thank God for folks like these, including Dave and Jocko; 3 American treasures.
A living, breathing national treasure. You can see the respect on Jocko's face for Col. Anderson.
Struck gold on this one. These guys are just not in stock anymore. Great job.
you would not think this man was 100 listening to him speak.
thank you jocko for putting him on, priceless
so glad you can record the living testimonies of these men for us to learn from.
Thanks for sharing jocko n company
The best podcast yet Jocko, what an incredible man and how lucky we are you got to document some of his life in person thank you.
This podcast was the P-51 of podcasts 🔥
So important to have these interviews thank you Joko y’all heroes to me
“Well that was one concept that was really latched on to” this guy’s pun is great
Thanks Dear Colonel Anderson 🦅for Your Friendship, Support and Help _(since the '90s) , thank You Dear Jim Anderson for letting me know about this valuable experience 🙂👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Saluti, Antonello, Genova, Italia .

Pure gold! Thank you!!
This one made me cry🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
is one of the best podcasts on your channel, best regards
This is like watching History live…. Thank you Bud and Jocko!!!!!!!
The Greatest Generation. Much respect ad appreciation.
