Nick, who done your ink? I thought my work was about as good as it gets, but damn. I'm also in New Bedford a lot (Commercial scalloper) - are they around there?
Dude...thank you and all of the badasses like you. Your story is important I know that when I get down about the little things in every day life I'll remember this and kick my own ass and get moving.
I've Seen His Jocko, Shawn Ryan Episodes, & His Documentary! He Is A All-American Hero, And Straight Up Bad Ass! So Much Discipline, Pride, Dedication, & Self Accountability. Thank You For Your Service & Patriotism, Mr. Lavery!
Same and I like how Mike asks questions and gets a little different angle from the same stories. Knew right away I would be running this episode today...I am 1hr20m in
Hellz Yes!!! Nick is the only thing that kept me motivated after I got shot. I saw a pic of him in full kit, in a combat zone, after losing the leg. Knowing that a soldier was willing to put the work in and get back to active duty after enduring the loss of a leg kept me motivated to get up and do the PT, and push to get out of the chair and off the crutches. May the universe Bless him with all her skills and knowledge.
@Nick -MACHINE- Lavery Thank you for everything you do, brother. So damn proud of the drive and ethics of soldiers like you, out there defending our interests and helping to further Democracy and a belief in the American dream.
I hear ya. I never really got into all that crap. My buddies use to say I was gay because I didn't partake in that garbage. Now a handful of them say I was right all along.
Great interview Mike! Nick is an absolute badass and an inspiration to what you can accomplish no matter the odds. Thank you both for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It may sound crazy but I really appreciate the food related stories (pies etc.). I think the food thing humanizes your guests and makes their lives as relatable as they can be even though your guests tend to be very extraordinary. Thank you.
Even Machines need food ! Yea I like hearing about the food memories too. My New England memories had buttered noodles & potato salad with way too much celery salt.
Mike, wow! What a great interview. You talk about tenacity……..Nick has it in spades. Everyone needs to see this and realize we all have very little to ever complain about. You guys fighting for our country are hero’s!
You are an INSPIRATION to all amputees and would be amputees. Your honesty and determination are admirable. Thank you for your continued service, Mr. Nick Lavery.
Mike, I saw Nick on the Shawn Ryan show. As you said, his new perspective on here was amazing to say the least. Nick Is an absolute machine and hero in my book. His story is just inspiring and makes me love our country and armed services even more than I thought possible. Ty sir
I had the honor of walking this man to the American legion in revere,ma to speak to the people of the city. One the most emotional and honored moments of my life. Thank you for your unwavering service and faith to this nation.
My nephew told me he saw nick running at Bragg. Before my nephew was medically retired. We listen to this to help him through his problems. Thanks mike. Also what happened to uninfluenced?
I absolutely quit watching football back when they started the Kneeling for my Flag. Chris Stapleton sand the Star Spangle Banner flawlessly. It brought Deep Emotions and tear. Flowed
Mint interview. Love Mikedrop as it’s the best podcast going around. Thanks Nick for sharing your story. All the best to you and your family in the future.
Thank you both for the absolutely riveting interview, I think if every 17 year old kid was shown this in school it would make first time enlistment numbers beyond what they have the capacity to feed,house, and put in uniforms
@@NickMACHINELavery You are an example for me Nick even though your abit younger then me, i never got the chance to stay in after i was wounded, injuries to severe, i am glad you fought your way thru your injuries and became an example to all service members former and current. Keep rocking brother.
Hahaha! Excellent interview and Boston accent. I'm from Worcester Mass or "Wistah" if you're not qweer. The accent bit was great. You all love to hate it because it's so fahkin cool. Much respect and love to the Men and women in the service's.👍 Stay Strong Keep Fighting!!!
What I love about Mike is the questions I’m always like oh please ask this and he does like the smaller detail questions I love massive fan from Edinburgh 🏴
What the fuck are you wearing Mike? Is that your Boston outfit? Lol!!! That’s awesome! Great interview as usual! Always love your content and been a fan from the beginning. Keep it coming bro!
Great show with two absolute heroes! Blessings of El Elyon to you both and your loved ones through the redemptive work of our Messiah Yahusha! MARANATHA
I want to get into special operations, school was never my thing so I suck at algebra but Ive owned my own business for the last 10 yrs with some employees so I know I'm capable in the brain. Physically I'm there as well. I feel like I'm being held back from joining because of the algebra part in the ASVAB is there any way to get into special operations with a lower score? Please honest answers
Absolutely what i needed at this exact moment in time thank Mike and Nick!! Nothing but the utmost respect for you both..this world need people like you two more than ever!! LFG 🫡
This guy is a True AMERICAN badass! You can tell he loves his country and his brothers. If we had more guys like Nick this place would be so much better. Thanks for your service and what you did for our country!
In regards to why there are certain pockets of the city with/without an accent. I’d say if you want to experience what Boston is actually like then visit either the South Shore or the North Shore, so the suburban areas just south and north of the city. Or visit a construction site in Boston, or a Bruins game. Boston nowadays is almost entirely gentrified. The ppl who grew up there 30-60 years ago do you live there anymore. Very few anyways. They live in the towns outside the city and commute to Boston for work. For example: he said he lived in Weymouth at one point. I grew up and live in Weymouth. 20 minutes south of Boston. It’s way more traditionally what ppl generally think Boston is than most parts of the city. Southie is not what it was 20 years ago. Old Irish working class ppl do not live there anymore. They can’t afford to. It’s all young yuppie professionals from out of state. Same goes for practically every other neighborhood in Boston: Charlestown, the West End, South End… the only neighborhood that’s even remotely close to what it was in the past still is the North End. Even tho it’s still very expensive to live there, there are still a lot of Italian families and Italian run small businesses present. It’s probably the best and most authentic “Little Italy” in the entire US. Dorchester recently has started to become more gentrified but there are still pockets in that area that remain true to their roots, that’s a very diverse part of the city.
Great to spend some time together brother. Thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you Nick for your service. You motivate many people everyday

Not clear from the Boston accent whether the name of the dog was Bach or Bark. Mike went with Bach, but I bet it was the other.
