David Rutherford is an amazing speaker and he breaks things down to where I can understand and relate to him in my own personal life. And I wanna thank him for doing these videos and for Mike for having him on. Is a big positive thing in my life.
You probably won’t read this but please all of you frogmen. Don’t stop making these podcasts. You, rut,Shawn, and Marcus might not be in combat anymore but you guys have an incredible impact on the lives of many Americans. Listening to all of your podcasts has brought me out of a lot of bad times and given me the motivation to kick ass! I really can’t thank you guys enough for just being y’all. God bless you guys.
With all due respect to all the guests, these keep getting better and better with every guest! I listen to TNQP but didn't realize ALOT of the stuff Mr. Rutherford dealt with. If everyone strived to be half as positive as him, the world would be a better place.
@discorperted Doesn't have anything to do with "expecting" my friend. In my mind it has to do with use of energy. Dealing with negativity, and negative people, is beyond exhausting, and a waste of energy. So I don't do it. Part of being a better person today, than I was yesterday, is finding the good in life, instead of focusing on the bad all the time, like countless people do. I heard a saying years ago, when I didn't deal with shit, thus making me a negative person. It came from my boss at the time. After I spent a good portion of the day bitching and pissing and moaning about God knows what, I'm sure it was nowhere near as big of a deal as I was making it (this was 20 something years ago), it was just me being negative, he looked at me and said "The grass is only green, where you water it". Needless to say, it took several years for that to sink in and make sense. Now I live by that saying. Take care.
@discorperted Ah, good old internet posters and their assumptions. I feel bad for people with your mindset. Hopefully someday, for your sake, you will break free of it. I hope you have a good rest of the day! (and you can think that's being fake all you want. I know the truth.)
I could listen to another 12 hours of these two talking. Mike, you're a wiser knuckle-dragger than you give yourself credit for; inquisitive and probing, the signs of every true humble scholar (although I'm sure that's the last thing you would call yourself). And Rut seems to approach life with such a great blend of hardened disclipline and Lebowski-ism, it makes for a combination of a really great represenation of y'all's SEAL community *and* just a very relatable "dude." Big ups to you both. Your hooyah is inspiring.
So much respect to Dave for being honest. I’ve never heard a former military guy much less a SOF guy be so candid about his experience in the service. This dude is vibrating on a whole nother level...If you catch my meaning!!! 😎
Once I noticed it was Dave Rutherford on I had too give the thumbs up..I've enjoyed both Mike Drop and TNQ podcasts separately. But when I seen Dave sitting across from Mike...I knew it would be a good one. Thanks for both podcasts guys. As a former state trooper..(whatever that has anything to do with it)..I get alot of the stuff u say and the humor.
I have heard Dave on the TNQ podcast and his energy and enthusiasm is out of this world. It was fun to see him and hear his story on your show Mike! Thanks for having him. God Bless you both.
I’m a father of 3 girls & for many years before I remarried I had sole custody of em & hearing u guys talk about how humbling having kids especially girls can be is amazing TY
In my early 20's I couldn't imagine not working out 5-7x a week. I had a full time job and was still committed to working out. As person in my mid 30's with a career, I take what I can get exercise wise. This usually means 2-3x a week with occasional weeks where I'm unable to work out at all due to scheduling constraints. Well along comes coronavirus and I'm back on 7x a week. Take what you can get, stay as healthy as you can while getting done what you have to get done. That's all you can really hope for.
Mr. Ritland, I really love your podcasts....as a former Marine (retired), I can really relate to so much of what your guests say....your podcasts are just so refreshing and uplifting. Thanks so much.
Two men getting real. With time being the most important thing to me in life, I'm grateful to have come across this one and spent 3 plus hrs. listening and learning. When $$ isn't the main focus, stuff like this happens.
Thank you for your service, Mike and Dave. This was a great play. My Dad was in the military and missed some of my life, but Dads in other careers miss a lot, too. Doctors, pilots, politicians, and CEO's come to mind. Don't beat yourself up. Both of you sound like great fathers to me. Look forward....not back. PS Mothers do the same depending on their career.
At the end of the day, it’s about what you bring to the table and not letting the shit show drag you under... being aware enables you to lend a hand to others. Thanks for sharing guys!
This podcast along with all the frogmen I've recently discovered in Marcus, RUT,Shawn,yourself and all the gentlemen in between have been my work out inspiration and anxiety medication for the last week and a half. When you are years in sometimes it can be hard to continue to strive and do new exercises and I usually switch it up constantly but yall chemistry is contagious it's awesome. Guys don't bond this way over video games or through a phone
I think the most humbled that I had ever been was a time when I was invited to have a beer at the local American Legion my assistant chief from the fire department. He was stopping in at the Valpo Legion and he was going to do some paperwork for some friends. When I arrive the parking lot was full and I found his truck so I know he was already inside. I also noticed the parking lot was full. As I was trying to walk in the doorway had a line coming out of it. All these Korean era and Vietnam guys and a few guys from Iraq and Afghanistan were there to see John. He's an advocate for patients who are forgotten by the VA. The entire Hall was packed and these guys were there to see John who was feverishly and jamming paperwork so these guys could get what they deserved. I realized what was going on then and I had to go sit down and I didn't want to interrupt him. Later on that evening they were having a question-and-answer period and one gentleman stood up and I don't think he was a from World War II but he was not in the best of health he began crying thanking the assistant chief saying how grateful he was and how it been instrumental getting the benefits that he'd been denied for so many years. And I'm not saying I was crying but if I was I wouldn't have been the only one and that Hall that evening. I went back the next day and told the guys at the fire station what I had seen and that I couldn't fathom how cool it was to see this guy doing what he was doing for people that he'd never met. That's about as humble as it gets. John you've always had my friendship but you also have my respect as well.
Really great to see and hear a sincere interview/show with Rutherford. He has a really interesting story. Sometimes he can be a little bit the military-version of Robin Williams - never stops joking/screaming/making sound effects, which is fine I guess. But it kind of clouds his story and sincerity. Thanks for a really good episode! Really interesting!
I watched the full Buds documentary (4 hours) to inspire me for my physical workout (a 4 hour workout), and your guys podcast came up in the RUclips list and I listened to the full 3 hours and it really helped inspire me mentally. You guys make me realise you need both. So thank you both for everything. Much love.
Explaining the Dog mindset and memory "piggy bank" bank along with association cleared so many things up for me. I tried to train a few upland bird dogs and they would act so well during training but would completely fall flat in the field when the hunting was not good. Dumb dogs will just run around and act like kids but when a good dog is getting his reward (birds) his brain goes to mush. Using your explanation the dog simply thinks he's doing something wrong because he is not succeeding in getting the birds subsequently gets an attitude problem.
My dad is a die hard marine and my mom was a barefoot joint toking hippy... I fully relate to the violent hippy comment. There is balance to everything. Thanks for the motivation and have a good day!
I love David. Me listening to all these former operators talk about their lives makes me feel calm. I feel like there is no one else who can even relate to the make it or die sort of life. I never served. But I came from nothing and still don’t have much. But I have a beautiful family. And I’m trying to figure out the money thing now. Like for real.
Great podcasts. As a recent divorcée, man, I relate to the humility of that failure. And the constant positive vibes from Rutherford warms my heart. Mike, well...I guess I have to go choke myself again. Lol!
I'm gonna watch this multiple times to draw on the inspiration you both bring to the table. Been rough after hurricane Michael. Lost my fiance a month after that storm and really find a lot of applicable things I can take away from you both. Thanks gentlemen. Ok, maybe not so gentle...
This hit me. I've watched Team Never Quit podcasts and loved the shit out of them. And of course your podcasts also! Thank you for doing these podcasts! And thank you for all that you have done and are doing!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not a year since 9/11. Shocking…like Dalton Fury stated. Needed that two decade window to keep an open checkbook from Congress to money launder. Only to restrain the Taliban in power as they were on 9/11.
Just re-watching this. After all I have seen on him (posting with so much respect for Mr. Rutherford) Rut needs to be rolled back yet once again. Love the frog logic stuff sir!
I found your podcast recently and highly enjoy them. Thank you for your efforts, sir! It's hard not to smile listening to Rutherford, infectious positivity. Signed, A new fan
Rutherford is a laugh riot. The guy always cracks me up. I like personalities like his because they’re so opposite to mine. God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle. His experiences were exactly what they were all supposed to be because anything different would’ve changed who he was. And that changing would’ve altered the fabric of the universe. This goes for all of us. But, let us remember it’s a thin line. There’s always a chance for the universe to trip us at any time. Free will is powerful. But so is God, so, what do I know? His mention of something taking eternity to accomplish reminds me of the word ‘apeirophobia’. The definition of that word is “fear of infinity or infinite things”.
Thank's for this ---you dudes are heroes and yet so cool and humble.....that's awesome. An injury kept me from basic and I made some bad choices in life because of it, but it's shit like this that keep's me on the strait and somewhat narrow. There is a hell of a lot of wisdom here people---you really should listen.
Sean Brando_74 me too...young and injured right away in basic which destroyed my lifelong dream to be a lifelong marine. It haunts me to this day and it happened in 1981
Getting board with college life I decided I would go active Duty Army in 1987. I had already been in the Army Reserves two years wile attending college. However, the army said they did not have a Billet available for me to go active Duty. My Brother was a Second Class in the Submarine Force. He Asked why don’t I join the Navy? I told him there was no way I was going to stay in a steel tube for 120 days without surfacing. So, I decided to pursue a career in Professional Diving and attend course in Louisiana. Then my brother sent me a clipping from the Navy Times about the Dive Farrer program. I was released from the US Army Reserves and left for US Navy Bootcamp in Feb, 1987 in Orlando, Fl. Two of us where in Divefarer in bootcamp. A tall lanky dude from East Tennessee was going into EOD; and I was going Navy Seals. The two of us worked out with the Seal Master Chief three days a week.. We both passed the BUDS Screening test and passed. My 6th week of Navy Bootcamp My 6th wee of Bootcamp, I was told to report to Medical. They told me that my ear test at the MEPS was bot good enough to be Physically qualified for the Navy Seals. They sent me to a Specialist, but he also agreed that I had a hearing range loss in my right ear (probably due to some poor control of muzzle blast from the guys I was hunting with as q kid. I was NPQ for Dive Farrer and Admin told me I had to pick another Rating. Luckily I had a high ASVAB score; I picked Aviation Electronics Technician. Went to some fabulous highly technical A school and Advanced Avionics School , and was selected for Air Crew. I went to Naval Air Candidate School in Pensacola. After nearly three strait years of Technical Schools and Air Crew Training, I served as an In Flight Technician with Fleet Air Recon Squadron 3 out of NAS Barbers Point, HI. At the time I did not know about asking for a Navy Physical Waiver. I always have that feeling of Failure from not getting into Buds; and what if I had made into BUDS? An Arkansas Country boy amp High School athlete; who Scuba Spearfished in the cold waters for the Arkansas Lakes and Rivers
Great stuff. Would not believe the motivation I get from these podcast . Having my own demons truly get positive outlook with myself and current situations in our country.
I love watching ur videos and team never quit stuff as well as watching Mike's video's. Also love watching when Rut Rutherford and Shaun from Vigilance Elite do videos together.
Kind of late to the post. This podcast allows us a glimpse into the lives & thoughts of Tier One Operators. Real ones. God Bless you Basass MFers & thank you so much for your service, and God Bless your fallen brothers in arms. BTW you are more likely to see a leprechaun riding a unicorn under a rainbow than meeting one of these men in real life.
God i love rutt first caught him on vigeliance elite such a funny positive guy thanks to all of you vets for all these great and diferent pod cast and your service
David, please experience the nature of unconditional love of a Downs child, I honestly think it will free your mind... I will pray for all you do my brother in faith, you continue to do great things for HIM
My favourite people that I listen to are David Rutherford Mike Ritland Shaun Ryan and Marcus Luttrell, but this is the best episode of any podcast I've ever heard two fuckin legends in action amen.
I worked 7 to 5 then worked for my self at night and weekends and I hate paying any one to do anything I have a crazy drive to fix everything and I am now cutting side work out and getting help with repairs or upgrades on house or cars and spending more time with family
I always feel so bad for Rut whenever I listen to this or when he tells his story. He’s a great guy and it sounds like he really got shafted early on in his career in the teams.
This was fantastic! Much appreciated! Great shit, touched on many things that I needed to here. You guys have some good things to say and a great outlook on some real serious issues and topics that I struggle with and have a hard time balancing. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work
Thanks Mike. I'm a first time listen/new subscriber. Great interview. I've been listening to Rut and Marcus's podcast for a long time and Regardless of who the guest is I always feel uplifted afterwards because of Rut's personality. TNQ has been my long time fix for when I feel like my demons are getting the best of me, and now I feel like I've found a new place for that same Fix, here with Mike drop. Thanks again for helping lead the community.
Great interview, I’d love to meet either and or both of these guys, I’m certain they don’t feel or act like hero’s , but they are, along with all the other frogmen.
Good one man. Cheers 🍻
Thank you! Looking forward to getting you out here!
Hey Shawn.. When are you gonna be on Mike Drop? Love your videos bro!
Your videos are cool too..u still running with or running from Sasquatch there in the great outdoors of AK ?
Looks like Shawn is next lol
David Rutherford is an amazing speaker and he breaks things down to where I can understand and relate to him in my own personal life. And I wanna thank him for doing these videos and for Mike for having him on. Is a big positive thing in my life.

Appreciate the support! Thank you!!
RUT looks like the nicest,,funniest and most down to earth guy ever...he's the type of guy that you wish were friends with lol
That's AWESOME! Thank you
@@docfrog209 or to go through BUDs with. Rut would probably have guys cracking up at the complete suckness with his personality. 💯🇺🇸👊
Much like Andy Stumpf, they are all funny and interesting until they are YOUR BUD/s instructor! Brutal!
My thoughts exactly!
With all due respect to all the guests, these keep getting better and better with every guest! I listen to TNQP but didn't realize ALOT of the stuff Mr. Rutherford dealt with. If everyone strived to be half as positive as him, the world would be a better place.

As relaxed and humble as Mr. Rutherford is...one thing comes through clearly: He's a genuine badass.
I could listen to another 12 hours of these two talking. Mike, you're a wiser knuckle-dragger than you give yourself credit for; inquisitive and probing, the signs of every true humble scholar (although I'm sure that's the last thing you would call yourself).

Lebowski-ism + Rut = Rutski-ism.......hmmmmm. Dumb. Sorry, and thank you
David Rutherford does your friend rich have any relatives in Ohio? Related to crihfields!
So much respect to Dave for being honest. I’ve never heard a former military guy much less a SOF guy be so candid about his experience in the service. This dude is vibrating on a whole nother level...If you catch my meaning!!! 😎
Oh man, 50 minutes in and all the positive thinking is great!!
Thank you for your support!

I'm watching the pod cast now... this show with the chemistry between rut and Mike is uncompromising... total thumbs up
Just wow. One interview with Rutherford, Ritland, or any of these guys is worth more than 10 years of therapy or 100 self help books. Excellent stuff.
I have heard Dave on the TNQ podcast and his energy and enthusiasm is out of this world. It was fun to see him and hear his story on your show Mike! Thanks for having him. God Bless you both.
“My ex made the best oatmeal cookie...and that’s about it” haha fantastic.

Holy shit I've been looking for frog logic for a while. David is the shit!
Two amazing people and so humble. Love both of your podcasts, keep up the good work!
Men need to hear other men talk about their failures, struggles, and short comings. Thank you both for this.
Love this episode. He is such a positive person and can always make me laugh.
Two men getting real. With time being the most important thing to me in life, I'm grateful to have come across this one and spent 3 plus hrs. listening and learning. When $$ isn't the main focus, stuff like this happens.
Watching this cause Dave is what an American citizen should be about. Thanks for your service man. God Bless Texas and America
David is one of my favorite Seals! Authentic and Motivational! Thank you Mike and David!
Thank you for your service, Mike and Dave. This was a great play. My Dad was in the military and missed some of my life, but Dads in other careers miss a lot, too. Doctors, pilots, politicians, and CEO's come to mind. Don't beat yourself up. Both of you sound like great fathers to me. Look forward....not back. PS Mothers do the same depending on their career.
I’ve been listening to this show, vigilance elite, a few others and it inspires me to be a better man. Thank you
Me too
Same, plus Jocko and Stumpf..
Love ya both thanks daily for your service be free gentelman
At the end of the day, it’s about what you bring to the table and not letting the shit show drag you under... being aware enables you to lend a hand to others. Thanks for sharing guys!
This podcast along with all the frogmen I've recently discovered in Marcus, RUT,Shawn,yourself and all the gentlemen in between have been my work out inspiration and anxiety medication for the last week and a half. When you are years in sometimes it can be hard to continue to strive and do new exercises and I usually switch it up constantly but yall chemistry is contagious it's awesome. Guys don't bond this way over video games or through a phone
I think the most humbled that I had ever been was a time when I was invited to have a beer at the local American Legion my assistant chief from the fire department. He was stopping in at the Valpo Legion and he was going to do some paperwork for some friends.
When I arrive the parking lot was full and I found his truck so I know he was already inside. I also noticed the parking lot was full.
As I was trying to walk in the doorway had a line coming out of it. All these Korean era and Vietnam guys and a few guys from Iraq and Afghanistan were there to see John. He's an advocate for patients who are forgotten by the VA. The entire Hall was packed and these guys were there to see John who was feverishly and jamming paperwork so these guys could get what they deserved. I realized what was going on then and I had to go sit down and I didn't want to interrupt him.
Later on that evening they were having a question-and-answer period and one gentleman stood up and I don't think he was a from World War II but he was not in the best of health he began crying thanking the assistant chief saying how grateful he was and how it been instrumental getting the benefits that he'd been denied for so many years. And I'm not saying I was crying but if I was I wouldn't have been the only one and that Hall that evening.

One of my favorites so far! Thanks Mike! ⚓️🇺🇸
Really great to see and hear a sincere interview/show with Rutherford. He has a really interesting story. Sometimes he can be a little bit the military-version of Robin Williams - never stops joking/screaming/making sound effects, which is fine I guess. But it kind of clouds his story and sincerity. Thanks for a really good episode! Really interesting!

Ruts always Excited to be a part of it 👍
Just listened to this one again. This episode is hilarious and I learned some good stuff. Thank you both.
Great show, truly great. It good to see that even the strongest of warriors lean on each other.
Wisdom, Respect, Humor. What pleasure to listen!
These podcasts are so damn awesome haha and especislly with this guy! Love the energy and appreciate the episode mike!
6:47 in and i have to stop to watch/listen at home bc I am getting zero fucking work done this is so awesome!
You’re putting out really good shit man. Would be better if it was more often
Thank you for supporting!
I have spent all day listening to your podcasts. The second i get a dog i will be buying your program.
Appreciate the support!
You guys really helped me through a hard night. Thanks.

A living example of the best of the seal MO. You got to be willing to Crawl Through the shit to get to the trident. The same can be said of life
My dad is a die hard marine and my mom was a barefoot joint toking hippy... I fully relate to the violent hippy comment. There is balance to everything. Thanks for the motivation and have a good day!

Dave Rutherford College World Series Champion & MLB World Series Champion in the same year. Quite the accomplishment.
it was good year for sure
Not a year since 9/11. Shocking…like Dalton Fury stated. Needed that two decade window to keep an open checkbook from Congress to money launder. Only to restrain the Taliban in power as they were on 9/11.
Hearing ruts voice makes me smile an be motivated
Just re-watching this. After all I have seen on him (posting with so much respect for Mr. Rutherford) Rut needs to be rolled back yet once again. Love the frog logic stuff sir!

2 words. Dick broom. I LOL'd on that one. Mike is hilarious. Rut was an interesting guest. Good shit.
My 2 favorite podcasts combined....
This is one of my favorite episodes. Outstanding and just downright good shit, Mike!

Sean Brando_74 me too...young and injured right away in basic which destroyed my lifelong dream to be a lifelong marine. It haunts me to this day and it happened in 1981
Mike I learn so much listening to you speak about dogs, and hearing how you apply it to other portions of your life.
Rutherford is the man. Gonzo. Dude doesn't have an off switch.
Love Gonzo Motivation!
mike if you made "Choke yourself" shirts I would wear them to church. And I dont even go to church, but i would start if I had that shirt!
Hopefully by November they will be ready!
Hell yeah!
"WITH MY HAND!"
Right On Man!!! and..and Twice on Sunday's
The "One"!!! The "ONLY"!!! Let's Get Ready To Rumbbbble!!!!! The RUuuuuttTTT, MAaaaaaNnnnnnn!!!!!!!!
Love ya Bro!!!!
I wish there was video of Rut on deployment. He must have driven everyone crazy hahahahaha. I fucking love this guy.
Getting board with college life I decided I would go active Duty Army in 1987. I had already been in the Army Reserves two years wile attending college. However, the army said they did not have a Billet available for me to go active Duty.
My Brother was a Second Class in the Submarine Force. He Asked why don’t I join the Navy? I told him there was no way I was going to stay in a steel tube for 120 days without surfacing. So, I decided to pursue a career in Professional Diving and attend course in Louisiana. Then my brother sent me a clipping from the Navy Times about the Dive Farrer program. I was released from the US Army Reserves and left for US Navy Bootcamp in Feb, 1987 in Orlando, Fl. Two of us where in Divefarer in bootcamp. A tall lanky dude from East Tennessee was going into EOD; and I was going Navy Seals. The two of us worked out with the Seal Master Chief three days a week.. We both passed the BUDS Screening test and passed. My 6th week of Navy Bootcamp My 6th wee of Bootcamp, I was told to report to Medical. They told me that my ear test at the MEPS was bot good enough to be Physically qualified for the Navy Seals. They sent me to a Specialist, but he also agreed that I had a hearing range loss in my right ear (probably due to some poor control of muzzle blast from the guys I was hunting with as q kid.
I was NPQ for Dive Farrer and Admin told me I had to pick another Rating. Luckily I had a high ASVAB score; I picked Aviation Electronics Technician. Went to some fabulous highly technical A school and Advanced Avionics School , and was selected for Air Crew. I went to Naval Air Candidate School in Pensacola. After nearly three strait years of Technical Schools and Air Crew Training, I served as an In Flight Technician with Fleet Air Recon Squadron 3 out of NAS Barbers Point, HI. At the time I did not know about asking for a Navy Physical Waiver. I always have that feeling of Failure from not getting into Buds; and what if I had made into BUDS?

Your energy is always contagious ...thanks!
Going from jocko videos to Ruts videos are amazing. It’s crazy they were both operators. I love it.
"Continue the Fuckery." That my man, is a million dollar t shirt idea right there.
Great stuff. Would not believe the motivation I get from these podcast . Having my own demons truly get positive outlook with myself and current situations in our country.
We put our kids in front leaning rest! No timeouts at my house! Shuts down childish tantrums out right! And definitely sets boundaries!
I love watching ur videos and team never quit stuff as well as watching Mike's video's. Also love watching when Rut Rutherford and Shaun from Vigilance Elite do videos together.
“Positively go fuck yourself” Simply EPIC Mike!!!!!!
Kind of late to the post. This podcast allows us a glimpse into the lives & thoughts of Tier One Operators. Real ones. God Bless you Basass MFers & thank you so much for your service, and God Bless your fallen brothers in arms. BTW you are more likely to see a leprechaun riding a unicorn under a rainbow than meeting one of these men in real life.
Add another notch to Mr. Ritland's belt for this killer podcast. 👍
thank you man, been thinking about your next upload for 2 weeks
Am I the only one who for a minute thought Rutt was sitting in a wheelchair?? Scared the crap out of me, lol.
Another great show! Love this channel.

Thank y'all!
David, please experience the nature of unconditional love of a Downs child, I honestly think it will free your mind... I will pray for all you do my brother in faith, you continue to do great things for HIM
My favourite people that I listen to are David Rutherford Mike Ritland Shaun Ryan and Marcus Luttrell, but this is the best episode of any podcast I've ever heard two fuckin legends in action amen.
Great interview
Rutt with Diarrhea is like the scene from Van Wilder where guy has to shit in the trash can.
Philadelphia checking in. This civilian respects/appreciates the hell out of you guys!! The content is 👍💪
This is probably the best interview on RUclips. Great questions, and great answers.
I worked 7 to 5 then worked for my self at night and weekends and I hate paying any one to do anything I have a crazy drive to fix everything and I am now cutting side work out and getting help with repairs or upgrades on house or cars and spending more time with family
I always feel so bad for Rut whenever I listen to this or when he tells his story. He’s a great guy and it sounds like he really got shafted early on in his career in the teams.
Love this guys attitude dude!!!
He is awesome 😎
This was fantastic! Much appreciated! Great shit, touched on many things that I needed to here. You guys have some good things to say and a great outlook on some real serious issues and topics that I struggle with and have a hard time balancing. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work
Congrats on 100k dude!!!!!
Thanks Mike. I'm a first time listen/new subscriber. Great interview. I've been listening to Rut and Marcus's podcast for a long time and Regardless of who the guest is I always feel uplifted afterwards because of Rut's personality. TNQ has been my long time fix for when I feel like my demons are getting the best of me, and now I feel like I've found a new place for that same Fix, here with Mike drop. Thanks again for helping lead the community.
Thank you and God bless
Good stuff, yet again, Mike. Thank you.
best show ever you to guys click . best guest ever dave is great ,you mike are the best host
Another awesome episode man. I always take something positive away from every episode. Thanks man!
Great interview, I’d love to meet either and or both of these guys, I’m certain they don’t feel or act like hero’s , but they are, along with all the other frogmen.
I pray and hope that you never have to bury your child, that’s humbling....NEVER QUIT, they wouldn’t want you to...
