Feel like Cole’s personality type is the perfect way to measure how good an interviewer is. He appears to be a quiet, humble, run of the mill dude till you realize he has stories from years of operating at a world class, tier 1 level. Great job mike and grateful for you opening up Cole - you’re a good dude.
Pretty much a Tier1 guy, no chest beating, no bragging, and honestly he doesn't seem very comfortable answering questions about the things he has done or seen so is reserved and analytical before answering. That's scary! ha!
I love that Cole came around and is comfortable putting himself out. What a patriot. I also love DJ but to get to hear and see Cole by himself is great. Mike Ritland, incredible interviewer as always. Thank you guys.
Your uncontrolled proud Dad face when hearing about the doggies rippin heads off is priceless. Thanks Mike and all the warriors out there, 2 and 4 legged, Happy 4th
His calmness is what makes him dangerous. Him and DJ is the dynamic duo! They didn’t just make it to devgru, you have to be a badass for sure. Thank these guys for their commitment to this Nation.
Yessir!! Thank you for your service men! Much love from 🇨🇦 RIP to my grandfather; fought in WWII and was shot through the neck somewhere in Holland. He had to run near a mile to the nearest medic 🏥 🏃🏽 He said the doc told him if he was 3 minutes later, he was a dead man. He lived, and breathed a full, 97-year life 🙌🏽 May God rest his soul 🫡
DJ and Cole are a couple of great guys. Being raised around SEALS and other SF guys makes these podcasts a truly amazing experience for me. Couldn't appreciate these gentlemen more.
Agreed. Love the mindset these dudes have and what they exemplify, not all of us can be pipe hitters but we can strive for the best in whatever we do, work to better the group, etc. in our own lives.
Makes it tough to sit through an interview. Mike had to constantly drag information or even dialog out of him. I can appreciate the silent warrior ethos but if you're gonna do an interview, either lighten up a bit or if it's not your personality, don't do the interview.
@@rck228 everyone’s different, just because you’re the silent type doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do interviews, if it bothers you so much just don’t watch 🤷🏻♂️
@@christianmauro1394 oh gosh.. thanks for clearing that up. Also, I can have an opinion whether you like it or not. And just so you know, I didn't finish the video, but thanks again for letting me know that people are different because until you set me straight, I had no idea. Run along now son and see if mommy will give you a juice box.
@@rck228 sorry I had to clear that up, there are some man children out there who have nothing better to do than to complain in the comment section about someone’s personality traits. But you really got me with the juice box line 🤣
I wonder if people understand how lucky we are to be able to listen to an operator who started off using iron sights and graduated to red dots etc. The amount of knowledge is just unreal. And to be able to listen to it and learn. We are beyond lucky to have access to this amount of knowledge.
There’s SO much sacrifices made by these warriors. This man is one of a kind. I can’t thank him enough for sharing his life experiences. So many parts of this brought real sadness . The thought of your three year old boy, the sensitive areas talking about RED wings. The flowers to the wives. Just intensely personal moments. The Deisal story and the dogs being harnessed for jumping out of planes. Interesting all of it. The going to court story is just reprehensible. Love these stories. Thank you for your service.
You can tell just by watching his eyes and movements that he's experienced a lot of trauma. These guys need to be National Treasures and have literally everything gifted to them for the rest of their lives. We do nothing for our warriors but throw them away.
What have "our warriors" done other than support war as a business and political corruption as our Freedoms are being eroded by "Domestic Enemies," namely the US Government. My good will ran out after... well too many examples, the gifting of US war material to the Taliban to start I guess.
Truly grateful for the absolute warriors like this. Mike, thanks for finally interviewing Cole. It was a great episode, and it hits the right places. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mike, you really are one of my most favorite podcast hosts. I love how prepared you are with your questions, especially the fact you give these veterans a chance for us as a listener to know them outside of what they did for our country. One thing I hear most from veterans, especially a former Seal, is they want to be known for who they are, not just what they did in their former job. So, my hats off to you for another wonderful podcast. Cole was awesome to listen to. His life stories, from his childhood, to his time in service, to how his job affected his home life, to his kids, to his now happily ever after with his wife, kids and awesome post-military career, makes me feel proud of him and I've never met the guy. I had to listen to this podcast twice because I didn't want to miss anything Cole had to say. He seems like he'd be fun as shit to hang out and have beers with and listen to anything he has to say. All around good dude. Thanks for having one of the best podcasts out there. Thank you and Cole for your service to our country. God Bless you both in all that you do in this life.
One of the heaviest Mike Drop episode ever! God Bless Cole and his brothers for their incredible sacrifice! I pray that his healing continues and he is blessed with happiness and prosperity.
I served nearly 1 year straight in Iraq back in 2010-2011. I will never forget the feeling of IED’S hitting the trucks of my brothers and eventually my own truck. I felt the wind blast hitting my face for years after the event.
Mike, I’ve watched quite a few of your podcasts. You crushed this one! You handled Cole’s story with caution and sensitivity. Impressive. Thank you for your service. Thank you for allowing us a seat to witness these great warriors and their triumphs and defeats. Forever grateful!
Thank you both so much for your service. I'll tell you listening to Cole talk and fight back the tears especially when he talks about his son hit hard. You guys are a very special group of men.
Mike I will always appreciate your deadpan humor. I’m just a blue collar civilian dude but I’ve got a good friend that did 20+ years in special operations. I swear you are the Texas counterpart to him. Both of ya are just laid back dudes. But yall don’t shy away from the heady philosophical conversations when they come up. Appreciate ya. Cheers
Thank you Cole, for everything, a true hero! Your story is incredible, glad to have guys like you serving this country. Wish you a life of peace and health brother!
For anyone who doesn't believe that "Freedom Isn't Free", they need to watch/listen to this. What a powerfully poignant dose of perspective. Mike is a gifted host, and Cole is superb, open and honest guest. Godspeed, gentlemen....
The strain men like Cole and Mike put on and wear for this country is amazing. We need them acting on our behalf and I am thankful. We’d be speaking a different language with out them. You are both appreciated.
i know people joke on gbrs products sometimes but you can't deny that they have the literal best dudes in the world hands down. People who handled years of combat and came out the other side with the best training and experience. Legit modern warriors operating at the highest level. Crazy we get to hear their stories like this, great interview!
This was a riveting interview, Mike, thank you both very much for taking the time to make this one. It's very humbling hearing what sacrifices are made to protect us, and we are eternally grateful. God bless all Vets, Happy 4th July my American brothers and sisters.
@@holybiblebelieverCole is a natural athlete, he competed against Michael Phelps as a swimmer when he was younger and I think would actually beat him sometimes. I could be wrong on the beating him part but I do believe Dj said that part as well. He is just one of those guys where he can make things look easy.
I am retired law enforcement from Tampa / St. Petersburg Florida. You guys are warriors. I wish Law Enforcement agencies would invest in using guys like you to put Officers through tactical training. Thank you 🙏 for your service gentleman.
Thanks Mike Cole is a great interview. Dj and Cole run a great business. He is the silent but deadly type. GBRS is a phenomenal page to follow. Great info. Thanks Cole for all you did for our nation. Mike I’m choking and I can’t get up. Thank you to all the canines tearin up the terrorists
Great Interview, Ive been curious about Cole's story since GBRS has come around and DJ did Shawn's show. Good work on this one Mike. Getting Cole to answer questions with more than a yes or no seemed to be a challenge. He was obviously a bit uncomfortable talking about stuff he hasnt been able to publicly talk about for close to 20 yrs. You asked questions the right way and worked hard to get him at ease and to open up a little....
Cole shared the sprinkles of information on the ice cream sundae that was his career. You didn't have to do that, but thank you for sharing. It's an honor to live during the same time frame as warriors like that. Thanks Cole for your commitment and sacrifices. Hope they live on forever! Cheers
You can tell Mike's Midwest dry humor goes right over Cole's head. I'm from the burbs of Chicago so Mike's one liners and ball busting resonates with me.
Mike you did an excellent job with this guy. You really were tested. He is quiet and not an elaborater. Lol. Great job getting the stories out of him........ absolutely awesome!!!
Bro… he can’t talk about half of his life bc he spent it with DEVGRU. It’s a top secret tier one unit. Be grateful he agreed to do the interview in the first place
Cole, is legitimately a damn thug! You can see the capability in his eyes when he speaks. I would not accept payment to mess with somebody like that. The pain, and capability of these gentlemen is so wild for my civilian ass to see.. thank you guys. Forever grateful
Mike Drop is my favorite podcast hands down! I like the way you approach the questions you ask and also the quality of the questions you have! You can really see the gears turning on the guest, very thoughtful questions.
Great conversation! I'm fascinated by these modern warriors. They inspire and motivate me personally to stay current in many facets. I keep imagining these guys coming down a dark hallway, moving as silently as possible toward the objective. I'm so glad they're on our side. Thanks for your service, gentlemen.
super great interview. cole is not the easiest person to interview. super great person and certainly a hero and a blessing to our military as well as his partner D.J Shipley. thank you mike for always being such a great host and veteran. God bless you and your family today and always. looking forward to seeing you cole and D.J in Virginia beach in sept. you all represent the finest of our military.
Boy it's rough watching his face and eyes retelling getting hammered and blown up day after day and looking at pictures of his son...feel for ya brother. Hold Fast Cole..
😀I am retired military 21 years, yes been in combat been shot at, IED'd, mortared, RPG'd, rocketed... When I listen to any Special Warfare operator speak particularly the best of the best it is as though I know nothing and had never experienced anything. In very many aspects it's true.
Thank you, Mike. This is amazing. I watched this podcast for a second time tonight. I never watch podcasts twice. You're interview skills are amazing. You're the only guy able to talk with people like Cole the way you do. I effing love it! You're a national treasure! Go go go! You are leaving a lasting legacy they will endure and inspire Patriots! Bad ass.
Another killer interview, Mike is so good at keeping the pressure on in a good way to get the stories out. Mad respect to Cole, what a career. Thank you for your service.
Great interview style, Mike. Have watched a few interviews w Cole, and he's very guarded. You didn't let him get off with an easy answer. Asked 2nd level questions that got him to open up more, and give some more color on questions you know the audience would like to hear. First time listener. Will def be coming back. Thanks, Mike.
Excellent show” and a big thanks to your guest for sharing his life’ and everything is been through, and I think he’s proved he’s one certain individual that we will all look up to’ and a big thanks to his service, and all our regards from the UK 🇬🇧
Outstanding interview! Great questions Mike, Cole bared his soul and gave us an in-depth inside look. Thank you both, and GOD bless. Please keep up the great work.
My dad for the majority of his law enforcement career was with HSI. I got to meet a lot of good people the times I got to go to work with him. His partner was an active duty SEAL as well and was an absolutely solid dude.
Totally get that feeling when your on a ladder !! If someone doesn’t there lying. Great interview! Cole is a complete warrior .. what a badass and great human
Sadly a lot of Team guys dont really Want to talk and make the Interview hard to watch. This guy thinks people dont know about the squadrons patches and rituals eventhough most information is already out there so he could talk about it without Breaking a code of silence or whatever. Mike still did a great Job and asked Good questions
Thanks Mike an Cole the respect I have for military guys an girls I don’t have words but when you heard what it was like being in a group of the best at many different things always interest me I got watching you show from you on Shawn’s show 👊

Finally someone interviews Cole! He's a straight bad ass
I love that Cole came around and is comfortable putting himself out. What a patriot. I also love DJ but to get to hear and see Cole by himself is great. Mike Ritland, incredible interviewer as always. Thank you guys.
I wouldn’t say he’s comfortable you can tell it’s hard for him

Are you 12? Your comment screams 12-16 year old boy lmao
He's so soft spoken. He reminds me of Will Chesney in that regard.
Glad their on our side !! happy fourth of July everyone 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☺
Glad they are on our team
I thought they did make it, on both of their interviews they talk about being on it
Yessir!! Thank you for your service men! Much love from 🇨🇦

Fuck yeah god bless his soul indeed man🙏💯
Impressive for sure!
I hope he changed his name after that into "Chad Chadigus"
He should of thrown a tourniquet around his neck 😂 kidding, that's very impressive. The greatest generation

This is what the internet needed. I have been searching for long form conversations with Cole. Thank y'all both for doing this.
Watching him and DJ and seeing DJ on the Shawn Ryan Show, I've always been curious of Cole's story. Thank you, Mike.
I am with you Bucky, I have love and respect for all parties but it’s cool to have the Cole story. Thanks again Mike
I have been wondering about Cole also. I follow them and keep up with the Kit they make but have been curious about Cole's story.
🤙🏼🇺🇲
Same.
Cole is also in all of the GBRS vids, but seldom speaks.

Yea, I thought the same thing. I hope he is open to some kind of ptsd treatments. Sean Ryan went through some hallucination therapy. Raves about it.

What a great guy . These tier 1 dudes certainly have a certain calmness about them . Great to hear he respected the uk guys SBS -SAS . 🇬🇧🇺🇸
One of the heaviest Mike Drop episode ever! God Bless Cole and his brothers for their incredible sacrifice! I pray that his healing continues and he is blessed with happiness and prosperity.
YES!!! I been waiting to hear Coles story. Thank you
Coles personality and calmness just shows how dialed in he must have been as an operator the best of the best 👊🙌
Without a fucking doubt! Really tired of apathetic Americans.
No doubt he’s a serious world class operator, he is not calm at all though. That m’fer is keyed up as fuck in this interview. Cagey as shit.
@@MrDocseidel7 i mean he says it in the interview, he has PTSD
Ritland is an awesome interviewer. Thanks to all who served. Veterans Day is for a reason. Thank you all.
crazy how Cole still feels the full effects of being blown up in that one story and it hasn't subsided at all. I can't imagine...
Plus everything else. I can’t imagine.
Legit concussions can change someone forever.
It's something you'll never forget.
It was tough to watch his body language. This man has poured his soul for this country.

Outstanding interview! Great questions Mike, Cole bared his soul and gave us an in-depth inside look. Thank you both, and GOD bless. Please keep up the great work.
"The rigorous 2 weeks of MA training"....lol. Mike's humor is always top tier
As always
Awesome testimony and thanks for your service! Great job again Mike, keep up the great work!!
My dad for the majority of his law enforcement career was with HSI. I got to meet a lot of good people the times I got to go to work with him. His partner was an active duty SEAL as well and was an absolutely solid dude.
Thank you for your service!!!
Totally get that feeling when your on a ladder !! If someone doesn’t there lying. Great interview! Cole is a complete warrior .. what a badass and great human
Sadly a lot of Team guys dont really Want to talk and make the Interview hard to watch. This guy thinks people dont know about the squadrons patches and rituals eventhough most information is already out there so he could talk about it without Breaking a code of silence or whatever. Mike still did a great Job and asked Good questions
He probably wants to keep his hood standing with the command. The guys that write tell alls are persona non grada.
Ur an excellent host, ur patience and understanding does not go unnoticed. Love ya mike !
Mike, you certainly have outstanding interviews, and your guests are second to none. Appreciate what you do.
