That’s a voice made for giving commands and making people and animals listen to him…. And also an amazing broadcast voice haha utmost respect to this man and men like him 🫡
Mike is as great an interviewee as he is an interviewer. I love his no b.s. stance on everything. Great interview, especially hitting the high points and letting him run with it. Very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one.
Awesome!! Two warrior patriots talking about Amurica stuff!!!! The only thing that would make this a better experience would be if I was actually in studio with you guys!! Thank you both for your awesome shows for all that you guys did for our beautiful country!!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
so stoked for part 2. Mike is awesome and Ryan you have really upped your game with in person interviews. sound quality is getting there. thank you for having consistently great podcasts.
What a great interview, thanks so much as it takes me back. I was a young British Royal Marines Commando at that time. My company landed by CH47 onto the Manifold Metering Station the morning after the SEALS captured it. I will never forget it. The first thing I saw was a smouldering DPV, and the second thing was an Iraqis severed foot in a boot lying on the ground. What a way to start a war
I love when a podcast host like Mike becomes the guest and I get to hear his story like when Shawn Ryan or Andy stumpf were on Mike’s show and I finally got to hear their personal stories. Same when Sean buck rogers was on Andy’s show and we got to focus on his story for a change.
Everything about this guy and his situation is correct! Everything he said, everything he did, his mindset, Everything! Even knowing where he had a good backstop and knowing where his neighbors are sitting in Their business! Other business owners could learn a lot from his example! I'm very impressed with him
Awesome interview, you and Mike are both great at keeping it conversational and funny while still touching on serious topics. Looking forward to part 2!
Mike ritland is an amazing good man. After hearing his first few shows I was hooked and have since started saving the podcasts in a Playlist. So many amazing podcasts and men to help share these truly heroic funny and amazing story's that I need to hear, that the world needs to hear. Might hear something that can. Help you or change your life. I know its helped me alot. Keep up the great work yall!
my dogs *love* raw deer meat. that's their diet. 20% dry & 80% raw. they are *_the_* best looking examples of a *TRUE* XL American Bully, ever. They're both jet black & best friends.
I’m Joey from Chicago. I’m not a Veteran. I had a personal/ health issue so I didn’t join. Thank You for ur Service to All Veterans for my Freedom. Mike ur Opinion on Addicts I Agree with. I was a Functional Addict pain killers for 10 years on and off. I’ve been Clean for 7 1/2 years now. I Decided Enough was Enough when I hit rock bottom. I Fought to get my Life Back n I’m So Happy I did. I’m 38 years old now I’m Good. Men Like Urself Mike and other Veterans that r on YT. You R Making a Difference in People’s Life in some way. You Served n Continue to Serve ur Country n Help People. I Got nothing but Respect for you all. You don’t know me but Thank You for Everything ur doing.🔥🇺🇸🤙
The way Mike described his karate training was how most of the schools I was training at was like. It wasn't until I started looking into other systems that I learned about "McDojos".
Well, I have 4 uncles and 2 of them are Vietnam veterans. They were in the Blue Dragon Division(Korean Marine corps). They never talked about their experiences in Vietnam.
This interview is unique for me , hearing both of their experiences having them switch chairs is pretty awesome . So happy ,and excited to listen to this thank you both ,for a legendary episode!
The description of public schools as a prison and certain groups who are basically untouchable by school administrators is both damning and true. I just watched a speech by Ed Monk that the Parkland shooter was an untouchable individual and that school administrators told teachers if they sent him to the principals office one more time the *teachers* would be punished for "not controlling their classroom." Absolutely sad.
I just love everything about him. Amazing interview as always. We need more men like yall (yes I'm from Texas) around!!! Thank you both for your service and the stories you bring to us!! I spent my evenings listening to podcasts and it definitely makes me so proud to live in a country that has men that are willing to protect our nation with unwavering dedication. Bless you both!!
Thank you so much for having great speaker ( Mike) 😊 and talking about the ( DOGS) ability. Me with my mini Australian Shepherd 😊 its amazing watching him. Even giving him ❤ he still going on ALERT for surrounding. He is the best security in home when there his BARK alerts us to anyone ( vehicle) in cul-de-sac 😊 my wife has him in advanced ( Agility training) the dog is amazing at Learning a command. He will stay still and I can walk over gim many times. There is a Airport in a Eastern Country that uses Australia Shepherd to move birds out of Runway. The Australian Shepherd will chase the Birds away, as where a Bird dog will pount or return the dead bird. Like ( Mike) says my shepherd will use his NOSE constantly on walks.😊
My dad was and is a tough SOB but wasn’t. Half the man his dad is . This dude is. A small town kid transformed into a calm inspirational man that is capable of what ever it takes. No matter what . Fucking cool to listen to his story
Love Combat Story and Mic Drop so this was EPIC.....keep crushing it both of you and I will share the show with all I know that will love it! Thank both of you for your service. My Dobermans love the "Team Dog" treats 🤙👊
Gah lee what a INCREDIBLE interview..all the questions I’ve wanted to ask him! And it’s good to see some of that sweet baby face of ole Mikey instead of the tip of his cap behind that desk mic!
Dang Mike it’s really weird seeing on the other side of your studio so good to hear more about you and learn more about the dog handling life. I really need help finding a good pup Belgian Mal I’ve got scammed a couple times I need for me and as well as the pup like I said before my all black shepherd changed me saved me and I need a new pup to work with I lost my dog almost two years ago devastated me and I’m ready for a new pup thank you sir for everything you do and still do 👊🏼🤙🏼
Not gonna lie, I am envious of Navy SEALS in the fact that, almost all of them upon exiting the Navy are Successful business owners, and make a killer living doing what they want. Investors dont hesitate to hand over large sums of $ to guys that once wore the Trident. Also, all the V.A. loans & benefits...they are all amost guaranteed to succeed. I couldnt join because of Asthma, but I have multiple business endeavors id like to get off the Ground, just no resources/ investors lining up to help me. Being sunk in student loans, i cant get out...and im sick of working for THE MAN. Ive got skills not many people have, but i can not capitalize off if it because you have to have/spend money to make money. Its hard, and a total let down. Anyways. Great podcast, love youre work, Mike and Ryan... 🤘♥️🇺🇸
The story about the race riots really took me back to my childhood. When you are a kid there isn’t much you can do. As an adult I choose not to live among animals.
Mike- I don't know if you read this shit but I have a question. I'm nobody, just a dude who got a pair of Shepherds a couple years ago. I've always been a problem solver, but since I got them I found my mind on a new level of breaking things down in my mind. Being dedicated to them and trying to understand minute things seems to have affected me greatly in a good way. You need to be focused if you want to be a good owner. I think things through now with much greater attention to detail. Maybe I'm just an old dude just figuring shit out too. Would you say Dogs have done a similar thing for you?
So, i decided i better learn to fight since i didnt like the attention of bullies. Before anybody could actually smack me, i trained at karate. I was the only white guy in the class, so i got tough fast. 50 yrs later i can still hold my own. Everyone should learn to fight
Totally disagree with the biology ''does not lend itself to survival" bit. Competiveness ALWAYS lends itself well to survival, particularly in tribal environments which is what this is, basically. If we had like let's say 80% more people like that all the bad guys would be gone. POOF! We don't have enough, that's the real problem imo. This standard should not the be exception, it should be the norm. (there might have been a time when I thought it was...still super annoyed I was wrong about that one). But logistically and biologically it makes PERFECT sense. Total misconception to say otherwise. The rest of the talk up to this point as been ok, but this part is 100% wrong, and I will happily debate anyone on the biological aspect. Victory will be sweet! I hate this random negativity. It's like watching 300 all over again. It started out strong but totally fizzled out about half way through. Disappointing. To this day, I still think their imagination just failed and short circuited... Anyway, point is, you're wrong about that part :). If you worry too much about dying, you'll end up dead for sure. Anyway, I never got why ppl worry about dying...it's not like you'll be around to see it :P. LOL! Worry more about living right, and then you'll have no last minute regrets! 😁 Also, be happy while doing it. Even if life sucks, you should still be happy. Just to spite it. 😉
Where’s part 2?? Why do you always wait so long to post part 2 to any interview? You did it again with the sniper interview, it was a full week (in internet time that’s 2 months) before the 2nd part came out…a week is entirely too long…you lose views like that, by that time people have forget all about the 2nd part…part uploads should be spaced a day apart max…even upload part 1 and 2 at the same time so the views carry right over immediately…
It is a GREAT species formula. And that's where you can start with how to get more people. Stop saying nonsense like that and being super depressive. Life is great. Let people enjoy their lives and their jobs. Jeez. See, if I could just Frankenstein you guys a wee bit... I would just need you to have all the skills, with none of the BS pessimism and self-defeatism, and then multiply that by like the majority of people and BAM! everything just gets better. Do you never sit around and notice how often you and the rest of your podcast bros are randomly self-defeating and moaning about stuff which is not actually true? Who told you it's a bad species formula? Why didn't you just automatically say: fk that, that dude is wrong. Bc i do notice the random mental BS and it's very annoying. Imagine how much more you could accomplish if you just minimized that crap...hmmm.....
As a 40 + year talk radio geek, Mike has a great broadcasting voice.

Didn’t expect to see you in Mike’s seat. Two of my favorites together. Thanks Ryan.

Mike is an incredible interviewer himself! Always asks the right questions and his ability to narrate a conversation is amazing!
ur an incredible interviewer, yourself. you're amazing.

Great guy.
This is huge! Glad to see you get him on. Don’t know how combat story hasn’t blown up

Both the best shows out there!
Thanks guys!

Regarding his beating and thhe fact that the school did nothing… how they handled it then is why it's happening so badly now.
Ritland's Barry White-like voice is reason enough to listen to his Pomcast. The content is just the icing. Yes, "Pomcast."
Oh yeah! I'd love to see your journey building an off-grid homestead!
I love when a podcast host like Mike becomes the guest and I get to hear his story like when Shawn Ryan or Andy stumpf were on Mike’s show and I finally got to hear their personal stories. Same when Sean buck rogers was on Andy’s show and we got to focus on his story for a change.

I'm 49 years and every time I listen to Mike drop or when he is on some other podcast
I automatically listen in a different way... Learning!
The way Mike described his karate training was how most of the schools I was training at was like. It wasn't until I started looking into other systems that I learned about "McDojos".

At 30:00 and beyond. Is the foundation of how Mike got through buds and everywhere and everything he has made it one step one stride and further!

Awesome
Don't forget Texas doesn't have a state income tax, low retail tax, no tax on grocery store food, and no yearly personal property taxes.
Damn I'm finna move too Texas
impressed
M not a hero.. A FN HERO..
Ryan, noticed you don't have any SOAR H-60 guys on here, do you have any to interview in the future? NSDQ!
Great interview. Is Mike unwell or nervous? (Seems to be a lot of indigestion happening)
Heard he ate a big ass burrito before hand
I wanna know that he really just say that his dog can smile through her a hard drive and find a child predator WOW 🤩
The story about the race riots really took me back to my childhood. When you are a kid there isn’t much you can do. As an adult I choose not to live among animals.

Anyone else notice he looks like aaron rodgers old brother who beat up on him lmao 😂
When’s part 2?
He had his ass kicked Properly
