Dude, I came across your podcasts when the one of Lara Logan hit the news just a few days ago. I've listened to 7 more so far. I'm addicted. Keep up the good work, I LOVE your show. Much respect.
Man these can't come out quick enough!! Greatest most underrated podcast out there! I get a warm and fuzzy just imagining how absolutely badass the next guest is going to be and the insight they may enlighten us with. Cheers from Alaska!
Great conversation Mike and Jay! Jay has a quiet intensity to him. He's been there and done that shit. I am definitely getting his book. And I will definitely be listening to this a couple more times. Thanks Mike!
Jay has always been a badass. You should have seen him go over the middle as a receiver for the University of AZ. A hero and don't mess with him unless you want trouble. Keep going and go Cats!
One of the best abs coolest interviews I have ever listed to. I listened to the whole thing while plowing the streets of Boston during a snowstorm. So good and entertaining.
Wow! Is it me or does Jay Dobyns look like Jay Buhner? This is another classic example of two men who have come from different places and are able to sit down and have a in depth discussion with no hiccups. Mike, keep it going, another star on your sleeve for this one!!
Billy queen was an ATF agent who went undercover and infiltrated the Mongols MC. Book is called “Under and Alone” came out before “No Angel” a great read if you liked this story
Jay Dobyns, that is amazing! Your introspection and the fact that you shared some really intimate details, both successes and failures. It was humbling to watch you tell your story. Thank you. Mike Ritland, you did a fantastic interview here.
As a former law enforcement officer, I can't thank Jay Dobyns for commenting on how valuable women are in law enforcement. His view of women in special operations was spot on as well. Very humbling to watch...
One of the best interviews/podcasts i've heard in a while! You are doing great work Mike. I've read his book when it came out in 2009 and i somehow forgot about him. The name clicked somehow, so i tuned in to the podcast and like i stated, i was very impressed.
I've had the opportunity to meet and speak with Jay on a couple of occasions at various law enforcement conferences. He's the real deal and a truly genuine guy. Much respect to both of you!
Great interview. A friend of a friend of mine is an old school Pagan and he said they would all get together and watch SOA and laugh at the majority of it. I found that funny.
I'm pretty sure that the real subject matter experts pretty much laugh at everything TV does in their particular field. Doctors, cops, bikers, etc. Hollywood just can't help changing things from what they really are to what Hollywood thinks they are. And, it's never as good as the real story would have been.
Your interview style excellent and the quality of these sit downs is so great. I really appreciate the amount of time you put into dissecting the books and the systematic approach to take to braking everything down. Awesome!
Mike, you need to do a compilation video of Mike’s rants. They are absolutely hilarious. From addressing folks who get offended to talking about meteorologists who can’t tell when it’s going to rain, that compilation would be epic.
Funny you should mention meteorology...I took two met courses in college from the same prof (knowledgeable great guy) In the last classroom day he gave us a farewell talk and told us “if you want to know the weather look out the window”.
Mike: “Special Operations guys like us seem to come from the Midwest. Why is that?” Jay: “People in this line of work come from all walks of life - not any specific back ground.” Mike: “that’s what I have seen too.”
Saw a bunch of Hells Angels dudes at this bar in Boston over the weekend. Thought of this podcast the whole night. Amazing Jay was able to do what he did
Hells angels are pretty tough guys but they are not trained killers like seals. Hells angels are killlers too but not disciplined and trained like military men. But then again the founders of the hells angels were in fact ww2 veterans. So They're is that dichotomy. The criminal underworld vs the military world is very similar but also very different. Brotherhood in different ways
I read this book about I think 3 years ago and I could not put it down I stayed up a little too late screwed off when I was supposed to be working who is a great book and you obviously picked a good interview so good for you man thanks for the interview it was awesome
Love your Podcast. First heard of you from your visit on the Shawn Ryan Podcast. Love the episodes so far. Great channel and I share it with My Daughters and my friends.
Hey Mike - I’d love to see you interview some of the retired politicians you disagreed with. A lot of them built a life of duplicity, and it would be amazing to see you extract some honesty out of them.
Jay Dobyns is a legendary Undercover Special Agent and both his books are fantastic! Anyone who has the good fortune of meeting this man should buy him a beer.
Mike . .u r awesome and thank you for all your hard work...your show has helped me tremendously and please think about scott bettner on your show.... please
That’s a helluva interview!! I would not wanna cross that dude.. Mikes right on when he mentions America’s idolization and fascination with Hollywood when you got real american men and women doin the real shit!
A great book I read it right to the point and I know you wear the blessed mother ring I wear her around my neck and she's always pulled me out of tough situations especially when I was in clubs and I know she did that for you may she always protect you and watch over you and your family Amen brother
Ultimately it was a tough and demanding assignment, but I found the book a hard read. Ego, drinking and shaving corners to close cases. The kids issue was extremely hard to read, between ignoring the kids trapped in an abusive home and ignoring your own children.. tough choices and I'm not sure the job is worth it.
I'd love to hear his take today on most people's perception of the ATF and if the mistrust is warranted. Many people consider the ATF and FBI nothing more than a weaponized branch of the current administration.
In today's day and age, I would disagree. You never know if some BLM member gets mad that white people invented motorcycles and talking about a motorcycle is upholding systemic racism.
This guy should be getting Joe Rogans contract. Podcasts are intense with real world life or death stuff. Does a lot of good with his time outside when the mic is off
Good podcast. Wish there was more of an emphasis of what he actually did within the club and what his normal day to day looked like rather than all the emphasis placed on his relationship with his family.
Mike I have seen a lot of your interviews with all the team guys, and all the ladies etc but wow this was a special one. I didn’t even realize you had interviewed jay until I recently listened to jack carrs first podcast with Katie Pavloic and she talked about jay dobyns and operation fast and furious cover up and I wanted to learn more about jay and this was excellent
I love the way they talk so tough for no reason. Especially the interviewer what are you trying to prove guy, take it easy. Thanks for your service but check yourself.
@@andrewminnich5106who would win a fight an outlaw mc Or an ex sf soldier or seal? You could say outlaw mcs are warriors too. Maybe warriors in a bad way though
Hospitals bars and jails are the quickest places to find those guys when I was a guard I found talking to the guy with the most flare on his coat worked best
2:28:00. You pointed out that it was surprising to see the story about him raising his son in the book, that’s a great point. He could have left that part out but chose not too. This shows Massive character and true transparency. Respect.
"i don't idolize actors, those clowns".... Caught you telling a lie Mike. I've heard you gobbing for Keanu Reeves in Ryan from Vigilant Elite pod cast... haha. All good.... your pod cast still rocks. thanks for your efforts.
Dude, I came across your podcasts when the one of Lara Logan hit the news just a few days ago. I've listened to 7 more so far. I'm addicted. Keep up the good work, I LOVE your show. Much respect.
They’re great incredible guests with some who knows the intensity they worked in
Incredibly interesting guest! You hit the nail on the head with the twisted nature of Hollywood as well. Thank you Mr. Ritland.
Man these can't come out quick enough!! Greatest most underrated podcast out there! I get a warm and fuzzy just imagining how absolutely badass the next guest is going to be and the insight they may enlighten us with. Cheers from Alaska!
Incredible interview Mike. Love the intensity of Jay. Excellent questions..and a great book also highly recommend it to anyone out there
Mike obviously put in a lot of time preparing for this interview. Diverse and great questions. He doesn't interrupt and skillfully avoids reduntancy.
Great conversation Mike and Jay! Jay has a quiet intensity to him. He's been there and done that shit. I am definitely getting his book. And I will definitely be listening to this a couple more times. Thanks Mike!
3 hours just passed by like 30 minutes, you guys are a blessing when your trying to kill time driving as a trucker. Thx 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Very nice and interesting guest..thank You Mr Mike, Keep up the awesome work.
Incredible story!
Thanks Mike for making this possible.
I'm enjoying the new podcasts and getting caught up on the older ones.
Keep it up!
In the world of today, it's comforting to know there are still heroes to admire... thoroughly enjoyed this podcast - Thanks, Mike.
Heroes that went to foreign lands to murder innocent people.
Nice.
Heroes!!!!!!
It takes as special type of Bad Ass to live amongst your enemy that can expose you at any moment.
Really? How long you been a cop Phil?
Okay keyboard warrior 🤣
Mike I've been binge watching your videos ever since I saw you on another show, love your interviews so much knowledge keep it up man!
Jay has always been a badass. You should have seen him go over the middle as a receiver for the University of AZ. A hero and don't mess with him unless you want trouble. Keep going and go Cats!
So what
One of the best abs coolest interviews I have ever listed to. I listened to the whole thing while plowing the streets of Boston during a snowstorm. So good and entertaining.
Amazing interview, I was riveted. Great show, you are now my favorite podcast. Keep up the great work, thanks.
Another home run Mike and perfect timing for me. Within the last week I had seen a show on Jay. Respect....
Mike, first time seeing your podcast. I gotta say your ability to seamlessly blend topics and questions are unmatched. Thanks!
Wow! Is it me or does Jay Dobyns look like Jay Buhner? This is another classic example of two men who have come from different places and are able to sit down and have a in depth discussion with no hiccups. Mike, keep it going, another star on your sleeve for this one!!
Billy queen was an ATF agent who went undercover and infiltrated the Mongols MC. Book is called “Under and Alone” came out before “No Angel” a great read if you liked this story
Read that book, still have it. Learned a lot going to OMG conferences while working at DOJ
Great interview man! The questions you asked and the topics you hit on, superb!!
Truly an awesome interview! Really appreciate you sharing and thank you both for your service.
Jay Dobyns, that is amazing! Your introspection and the fact that you shared some really intimate details, both successes and failures. It was humbling to watch you tell your story. Thank you.
Mike Ritland, you did a fantastic interview here.
That Intro instrumental is f****** badass I love it I could listen to it all day and I wish it was longer LOL
Jay Dobyns...A true patriot. A legit law enforcer and UC. A badass. Thank you both for your service.
You realize he tried to start a gang war, right?
Let the bad guys kill each other. That's no loss to society. 1%ers are pussies. Traveling in packs. Fuck that. I ride alone.
Umm yeah. He’s a loser on every level.
Being a biker "No Angel" is a great read. Jay's got bigger balls than you'll ever have Kenn. Read the book.
The Hells Angels rape women and kill. Waco? Them wackos had it coming. Them fucking idiots killed their own kids. Dumb fucks could've surrendered.
I'm late to the party but Mike drop is by far and away the best podcast I have come across.
As a former law enforcement officer, I can't thank Jay Dobyns for commenting on how valuable women are in law enforcement. His view of women in special operations was spot on as well. Very humbling to watch...
Full permission to arrest me. Haha!! thank you for your service!
But seriously
Colleen Posey I agree 100%♡.
Fantastic shape, your in! Blue looks excellent on you by the way!👌

How does it feel to ruin innocent people lives?
Bought the book. Another badass podcast, with another badass dude. Thanks Mike and Jay
Great interview. A friend of a friend of mine is an old school Pagan and he said they would all get together and watch SOA and laugh at the majority of it. I found that funny.
Is that kinda like , my friend's, roommate's,bruther sister's aunt's, best friend? Ha

Amazing 3 hours. Thanks guys.
Your interview style excellent and the quality of these sit downs is so great. I really appreciate the amount of time you put into dissecting the books and the systematic approach to take to braking everything down. Awesome!
I bought Jay Dobyn’s books because of this interview. Awesome shit.
I wish they would make a movie or a tv series based on the book. "No Angel" was a great read.
Mike, you need to do a compilation video of Mike’s rants. They are absolutely hilarious. From addressing folks who get offended to talking about meteorologists who can’t tell when it’s going to rain, that compilation would be epic.
Funny you should mention meteorology...I took two met courses in college from the same prof (knowledgeable great guy) In the last classroom day he gave us a farewell talk and told us “if you want to know the weather look out the window”.
You left a mess for those of us that were not even involved. My name has been dragged through the mud.
Another outstanding podcast Mike! Just outstanding!
Mike: “Special Operations guys like us seem to come from the Midwest. Why is that?”
Jay: “People in this line of work come from all walks of life - not any specific back ground.”
Mike: “that’s what I have seen too.”
He said " ALOT OF GUYS " from the Midwest
Read his first book few years ago and again this week. Enjoyed the interview too. He has a great attitude despite all he has been through.
Awesome mike! Ever since heard you on sofrep years ago I knew you'd be great in this medium
Hey Jay, WHAT A CUTE BRACELET , LIGHTWEIGHT!!!!!
Best JayBird interview that he's done
This was just as good if not better then any other interview uve done Mike.
This is fascinating stuff. I am not half the man Jay is and his story is also very inspiring. Thanks, Mike!
Saw a bunch of Hells Angels dudes at this bar in Boston over the weekend. Thought of this podcast the whole night. Amazing Jay was able to do what he did
Did they bother you in any way?
Who would win in a bar fight a bunch of ex navy seals or a bunch of hardened hells angels?
Hells angels are pretty tough guys but they are not trained killers like seals. Hells angels are killlers too but not disciplined and trained like military men. But then again the founders of the hells angels were in fact ww2 veterans. So They're is that dichotomy. The criminal underworld vs the military world is very similar but also very different. Brotherhood in different ways
Read his book a couple of years ago. I genuinely enjoyed it. Jay is a very brave man
Wow! Just wow. I could listen to Jay for hours. Great interview.
As a Tucson boy, to me Jay Dobyns is nothing short of a hero. Would love to meet him one day.
What a hell of a nice guy. Outstanding interview thank you
You and your guests are awesome! Keepem comming man!
I read this book about I think 3 years ago and I could not put it down I stayed up a little too late screwed off when I was supposed to be working who is a great book and you obviously picked a good interview so good for you man thanks for the interview it was awesome
Great podcast! Impressed by the honesty.
Love your Podcast. First heard of you from your visit on the Shawn Ryan Podcast. Love the episodes so far. Great channel and I share it with My Daughters and my friends.
Yup. Listen to these while delivering packages. Used to listen to music, now this right here is the stuff to make hours fly by
Hey Mike - I’d love to see you interview some of the retired politicians you disagreed with. A lot of them built a life of duplicity, and it would be amazing to see you extract some honesty out of them.
Thank you both for your service. You're both the best among equals and this is another homerun Mike! Thank you.
Awesome! Ironicly one of the History/Discovery channel just had a special on him .
That wouldn't be ironic especially if he has a new book out.
thank you for this podcast to the both of you
Jay Dobyns always a good interview imo
Great book. I love Jay and his faith in God.
The term ‘undercover’ has an important meaning. A concept. UNDER COVER. Secret, covert.
Jay Dobyns is a legendary Undercover Special Agent and both his books are fantastic! Anyone who has the good fortune of meeting this man should buy him a beer.
Guy was a snitch that couldn't get his shit straight and outed as a failure.
Mike . .u r awesome and thank you for all your hard work...your show has helped me tremendously and please think about scott bettner on your show.... please
Den of Thieves with Gerard Butler was sooo bada$$..no wonder Jay was a consultant hell yeah🤘
That’s a helluva interview!! I would not wanna cross that dude.. Mikes right on when he mentions America’s idolization and fascination with Hollywood when you got real american men and women doin the real shit!
A great book I read it right to the point and I know you wear the blessed mother ring I wear her around my neck and she's always pulled me out of tough situations especially when I was in clubs and I know she did that for you may she always protect you and watch over you and your family Amen brother
What a story. Another book on my Covid time reading list. Mike you have amazing guests
Jay is intense. Great interview Mike!
Ultimately it was a tough and demanding assignment, but I found the book a hard read. Ego, drinking and shaving corners to close cases. The kids issue was extremely hard to read, between ignoring the kids trapped in an abusive home and ignoring your own children.. tough choices and I'm not sure the job is worth it.
Love the podcast. Video is a nice extra. Keep it up!
I'd love to hear his take today on most people's perception of the ATF and if the mistrust is warranted. Many people consider the ATF and FBI nothing more than a weaponized branch of the current administration.
Well what are we gonna do? We can't just dissolve all of our federal law enforcement agencies. That's what they do in Mexico
You’re overthinking the offended deal. Nobody is listening to these types of stories because they want to be offended. Most find it interesting.
The most ironic part is he’s acting rather offended about people being offended.
@@mirraco323 annoyed isn't the same as offended 👍
@@dylanclark8358 that's the damn truth very different
In today's day and age, I would disagree. You never know if some BLM member gets mad that white people invented motorcycles and talking about a motorcycle is upholding systemic racism.

Dude has nerves of steel and the balls to match.
This guy should be getting Joe Rogans contract. Podcasts are intense with real world life or death stuff. Does a lot of good with his time outside when the mic is off
You can see Mike come to life when Jay gets in to character talking about getting mudded out. That was awesome lol.
You would think that with all of the stuff that Jay went through, that he would be a mess to a certain point. He seems grounded!!
Good podcast. Wish there was more of an emphasis of what he actually did within the club and what his normal day to day looked like rather than all the emphasis placed on his relationship with his family.
Mike I have seen a lot of your interviews with all the team guys, and all the ladies etc but wow this was a special one. I didn’t even realize you had interviewed jay until I recently listened to jack carrs first podcast with Katie Pavloic and she talked about jay dobyns and operation fast and furious cover up and I wanted to learn more about jay and this was excellent
Great stuff man.... Anyone else notice Mike used two hands to sip his drink?
You're Blue we get it. You chose your side.
I love the podcasts. Having said that, it's pretty much impossible to be a patriot and an ATF agent.
Ditto.
Billy Queen
Best podcaster on youtube
I love the way they talk so tough for no reason. Especially the interviewer what are you trying to prove guy, take it easy. Thanks for your service but check yourself.
REEEEEEEEEEEE

Great questions. Thank you brothas!
Great podcast man .I got to catch up with the rest of them . I’ll definitely be listening you. Also great questions.....

Love the video addition. Keep getting after it!
Amazing interview MR.
Love the stroking the ego part 37:00
Holy cow this is compelling and a great interview. Courageous man.
Thank you from another grateful American sheep.

Been looking forward to this!!
