Thanks Mike. Very good job interviewing him. You helped him a lot because there are probably a lot of misconceived notions about him. His story is inspirational and I appreciate you for having him on. You conducted a very good interview and it was engaging if that is right way of putting it. I had to keep listening because it was very interesting and fascinating. Not what people were probably expecting. Job well done, sir.
Thanks for having him on. Allot of people are mad at him for having Eric Demming on his podcast. Thankyou for having an open mind. I'm glad to hear his story. A true hero.
@@voodooviking1230 anyone that has eaten dirt to live, moved to another country and served for 20+ years, saw people die the way he did, produced a family while being in an elite community, and led other men, and what you want to try and do is call them woke and whiny, tells me you are the lesser man or person. You could not have possibly gone through what he has and had his experience so throwing out those labels just shows you are obtuse.
Aging like wine Mike! Really appreciate the effort and ability you have to interview people man. Watching you negotiate non verbal shit with other trained killers fascinates me. As always your the best man
1. The buckle is such a baller gift. 2. Fascinating to learn his background 3. Appreciate his self awareness about being a pain in the ass. Having a pain in the ass on a team can be a good thing as long as it's upstream and not down. Meaning: challenge leadership, ask the tough questions, continuously strive to improve performance and keep leaders accountable. However, don't get out of step when doing the job, be a reliable professional and don't put the team at risk due to poor performance.
Did you understand the underlying context of what and why he was saying it? It’s not always good to nick pick because you might miss the underlying humor and backdrop. Jee wiz some of you guys are slow or hard of hearing or don’t understand punchlines. My goodness.
Great podcast , wish we had more people like yourselfs ( Mike and Jay) in England to show English youngsters that's theres more to life than drugs,gangs or just living off the government hand outs .
Stores that sell dirt? I’ve just got to ask: why would you PURCHASE the dirt??? If you not only had to eat dirt, but had to pay for the dirt, man you win the hardships category. No doubt.
@@russellridge8623they’re special forces are pretty good. Same with Iraqi, commandos are just like a flip flip up grade but still not bad fuckers to have around. Love the Afghan people
You’ve got my favourite podcast, Did you press him about the slander of members of the seal and spec ops communities as a way to get views on UA-cam? I’m not even taking sides but that’s clearly how he gets his views by airing accusations largely at people who aren’t here to defend theirselves. I don’t see a time stamp discussing that. Cheers.
@@russellridge8623 "Slander themselves". No, individuals' bad choices do for themselves. Clout chasers jealous of the spotlight use it to denigrate an entire community.
Only the ones worth bashing. And I wouldn’t even consider Jay and Erics podcast bashing. One is a Former Seal, one is a former Green Beret. If anyone has the right to bring anything to light or call out any wrong-doing, it’s these guys and their colleagues. Frankly they’re doing their community a service and it shouldn’t be so frowned upon. If things don’t add up and people’s lives are/were involved, you ought not to stop questioning until the inaccuracies are identified.
@@russellridge8623 Conveniently leaving out what you actually did compared to the people he's talked shit about without any non-circumstantial evidence.
You should put your bias down and listen to his story. Don’t poison the well. He has an inspirational story and it might not be what you or anyone would expect. Yes, I’m aware of his channel but it took a really good interviewer like Mike to get it out of him.
@@brich5314 I don't. It's honestly some members of the Seal Community doing to themselves. All I saw was him giving a platform to a Seal that was calling for accountability and it rubbed some people a certain way because it took a different view of some people's heroes. We cannot be completely blind to the realties. I don't think he is generating it, they are doing it to themseleves.
Mr. Ritland, big fan of your content. Can you please try to get somebody from Operation Underground Railroad on MikeDrop? There's several SF guys as well as K9handlers working for OUR, it would make for a cool episode, with an important message. Cheers
Mike, I think you are you are one of the best interviewer on podcast better than Joe Rogan you get to the nitty-gritty. I love your show. Thank you for a good content.
My understanding of the NYC water is that it's so good bc it comes from being filtered by some geological component of the upstate region, so all the NYC breads have a very specific flavor
Pretty funny how every "tough guy" turns into a twice kicked horse-girl in a country bar the second someone criticizes their favorite amphibious special operations force they "totally would've" joined... if they could put down the coors light.
@@Zed-ti9uj Experience as a GB? No. Experience as a squadron medic in the 5-73 Cav? Yep! I don't have to mentally transform combat-arms service members into hyper-sexualized mythical god figures incapable of doing wrong, because I have more experience interacting with them in reality than I have in interacting with their Mark Wahlberg film caricatures. I guess you're the real deal high-speed? It'd be pretty funny if you were a fanboy in a maga hat.
Thanks for clearing that up Mike. My earlier comment reflected his recent actions, no criticism of your choice to interview him, it’s your show Shipmate.
Jay didn't accuse Jocko of anything. I Eric Deming just stated what Jocko's guys were saying to many Team guys while they were back state side for Mark Lee's funeral and after they redeployed home. Talk to a SEAL active during that time and you will hear the same.
@@ericdeming7748ypu don't accuse someone of the most extreme evil deeds - in public - unchallenged - without a single piece of evidence. It is the very legal definition of defamation. And yes - Jay is equally guilty of defamation as Eric is. I don't care about if it's true or not - it is the fact that Jay does not challenge Eric on one single point. Nlot even symbolically. It's unprofessional. Present the evidence first then call people out. Jay,, Antihero podcast and Eric all act like high school femalees. None of them has presemted any evidence to back up their claims. None. I think 3 of 7 said it pretty accurate. This is just people lacking a sanse of purpose that becomes bored so they start eating their own.
@@Thebluesky0311 exposing what exactly? Spouting nonsense without having any actual evidence besides Eric Deming spouting the same nonsense doesn’t really prove anything.

@@MikeRitland thanks for the reply! If possible, would you do an interview with Eric Deming?

great podcast man! doin good with the guests! get brent tucker on! his show is good, keep bringing the truth to the light jay. stay safe brother
Brent is hilarious. Bad dude
You've got one of the bests podcasts on the internet brother Mike. I love your interviewing style. Keep up the good work. God bless.
Agree 100% 👍
Just came across your podcast cause of Jay. Great interview 🤘.
Mike, I really dig the podcast man. I can tell you’re a chill down to earth guy who lets his guests talk without interruption. Keep it up!
The belt buckle is an amazing idea dude
Jay went to Westinghouse High School? Wow you down played that one to Mike. That’s a gifted stem based public school that’s hard to get in.
Same thing happened with my unit In Hawaii. We had 2 guys die in motorcycle accidents after surviving in Iraq
Frighteningly common occurrence. We lost one of our Gunners' Mates after coming back from a motorcycle wreck. RIP Guns Jones.
Great podcast.
I love Jay constantly sing acronyms. Reminds me of my military career
Thank you, for your service.
Great show again as usual! Just a small comment from the interview, but I hope that guy is not really carrying FMJ in his EDC.
The thing about NY water is TRUE, for bagels and pizza!
Love this show
Whenever someone says “I was the coolest person there” it usually means they were NOT even close.
😂😂 You’re not lying. I like how he doesn’t call himself a fobbit for acting like that on BAF
New York City trait. But he passed all the stuff they threw at him.
Wow, you must be the life of the party…..
Depends.

Gave me a good out, loud belly laugh the NYPD asking for 2 years of college and/or military experience. lololololol

They say the same about the water and pizza in the North End of Boston

A clout chaser. For someone who talks against those who seek the spotlight, his extreme jealousy for those in the spotlight isn't well concealed.
I cringed every time he said “till this day”. And he said it A LOT!
Hi Mike. Could you please consider reaching out to Jeff Gurwitch for an interview? He's definitely a stellar professional.

If you drink enough water you die too.
All this dude does is bash Navy SEALS on his podcast. I can’t even believe he’s a guest. This is the red ocean king

My thoughts wandered there too.
@TRM.352 we should also ask where the proof is, otherwise it's just hearsay
If seals quit doing dumb shit people wouldn’t have to bash them lol
I’ve been wanting to see this guy roll with Jocko to unconsciousness/limb break. Hoping this interview makes me feel otherwise… And begin.
@MealTeam6 I buy creatine when it runs out. Looking forward to Origin tiger stripe... I wouldn't call that unrelenting. Oorah. Fatbody.
It was a fellow SEAL Erik Deming that made those accusations and he just brought it to light. Also, no one is above being held accountable.
