” Don’t let it fool you, Cole is a fuckin animal”
- DJ Shipley
When did he say that? Love these dudes
@@holybiblebeliever don’t think he needs to. They both made it through to 6
>>⁷⁷@@Slayfest997
@@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.
Finally someone interviews Cole! He's a straight bad ass
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.
agreed, Mike is a solid interviewer.
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!
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
Great comment, i saw and thought the same thing lol
Thanks and Happy 4th brother
👍
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.
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.
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
He kept his info super tight. Hard interview
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.
@@adamrodgers2377 Hydra system?
@@shable1436 Yes, and they also make a Assaulters Battle Belt and one of the nicest Slings I have used.
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.
Cole is the silent but never to be underestimated type! So glad he's getting the shine he deserves! Thanks Cole & Mike! 🤘🏼🏴
I admire Cole, but his silence is very intimidating. He's "that dude" you don't ever want to fuck with hahaha
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 🤣
This is what the internet needed. I have been searching for long form conversations with Cole. Thank y'all both for doing this.
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.
Usually just a thanks is more gratitude than warriors want to hear, but it’s nice to say.
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.
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.
Agreed
They volunteered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cole, thank you for your service. Be sure to smile and laugh often, it's very therapeutic. Wishing you nothing but happiness and peace!!
Good listening to Cole. His honesty and humility is good to hear. Thanks for having him on, Mike.
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 🫡
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
I give Cole a lot of credit for doing what he did God Bless him and the teams . Thank you to all are VETERANS 🇺🇸🇺🇸✈️
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. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
YES!!! I been waiting to hear Coles story. Thank you
Thanks Cole & Mike. Most of thank you for your service and sacrifice. Love you guys
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.
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.
Thank you to Mike & Cole, awesome interaction between two awesome Americans. Happy Independence Day
Thanks Cole and Mike! Appreciate this episode a lot.
Awesome interview, thanks for your service and everything you guys do! Happy birthday America 🇺🇸!!🦅
Brilliant interview Mike and Cole was truly one of my favourite interviews. All around so greatly appreciated.
THANKS MIKE! The one I have been waiting for! What a perfect time to release it!
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
I like the fact that you take a very structured approach to to your interviews. That, in itself, speaks volumes to how serious you take your podcast.
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 . 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Great show, gents. Really cool to hear Cole’s story. Much respect for the both of you.
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!
Thank you Cole for your service and Mike for another great podcast and your service also.
Ritland is an awesome interviewer. Thanks to all who served. Veterans Day is for a reason. Thank you all.
THANK ALLLLLL OF YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TALENT, PERSONAL SACRIFICE, COMITMEN. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!
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 interview. Thank you Cole and Mike for your service and sacrifices.
So glad to here his story been waiting awhile for him to open up. Thanks to both of you for all you did and continue to do!!! God bless
Mike, you certainly have outstanding interviews, and your guests are second to none. Appreciate what you do.
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.
Thank you ma’am!
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
Excellent interview! Thank you Cole and Mike for your service to this great country!
Super cool watching Coles mind work during all his facial expressions. Really humble guy! 👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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!
ONCE AGAIN A FANTASTIC SHOW GREAT GUEST GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND THANK YOU BAOTH!
Awesome testimony and thanks for your service! Great job again Mike, keep up the great work!!
Wow... You guys and your families are absolutely amazing... Thank You All for your sacrifice ...
Cole is just another legit badass. Thanks for your service fellas !!
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.
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.
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.
Finally! Thanks for getting Cole on the podcast Mike. Great interview.
Awesome episode! Congratulations Mike on your 100th episode! Thank you both for your service!
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 best interview! Cole is so down to earth and sincere. Outstanding.
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.
Mike, you are so good at engaging the guests, preparing, and free styling questions off of what they say. Respect ✊
Much respect. Thanks for all the sacrifices made along the way.
Interviews like this are how you open peoples eyes and change the world, one person at a time.
Another awesome pod cast Mike. Thank you Cole for sharing your story.
Fascinating interview. Thanks Mike and Cole. Keep doing what you're doing. It's appreciated by all true Americans.
Hell yeah, excited to hear this mans story 🇺🇸
Mike it is YOUR discernment and nobility helps your Guest stays calm and sincere. Thanks!!! God bless ALL of YOU !!! [Rainz mom]
Hell yeah best episode for this weekend 2 badasses hanging out talking
One of your best Mike! Thanks Cole for sharing. Wishing you continued healing in your life! And wishing you both continued success!
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.
Mike, Shawn & Jocko, definitely three of the best podcasts around!
Andy stumpf has great content too
Great interview and a huge thank you to you both.
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....
Great interview and awesome story! Not very frequent that you hear a true warrior share his experiences like this.
Ur an excellent host, ur patience and understanding does not go unnoticed. Love ya mike !
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.
There is no one else that could conduct this interview. God Bless cf and rit thank you for your sacrifices
Good stuff as always. Everyone should be reading mikes book and supporting our nation.
Thank you mike! I been waiting for a full conversation with Cole for a while glad to finally hear his story :).
Amazing interview--thank you for your service & the continued care of the K-9 Warriors
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....
Absolutely great pod! Thank you
Wanted to hear from Cole for a long time, thanks Mike for making It happen.
Really good interview Mike. Thanks for your candor Cole. Thank you for all you have done.
Thank you for your service!!!
I seriously feel like I haven't accomplished much in life or the military after interviews like this. Humbling.
Been waiting for cole to do one of these. It's about time!!!
Been waiting for a solo Cole podcast appearance. Great dude! Thanks Mike
Another great show, I've been waiting to see who would get this show. Mike Drop was a awesome platform to hear Cole's story and perspective.
One of my favorite episodes Mike. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sharing your story Cole. Another mint Mike Drop podcast.
Don’t you ever stop doing this mike. It’s truly the best podcast on TH-cam
shawn ryan show is pretty awesome too
@@MaxFromDk oh yea!!! I for sure catch every one of those episodes as well!!
Have Slade on next.....
This
Lol
Hahaha oh the drama
Slade thinks his shit don’t stink
@@oldwarmonger8750 LOL..That seems pretty far from the truth...
Such an amazing channel. Thank you, Mike.
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
Thank you so much for heroically saving dogs! Especially the ones left in Afghanistan so proud of you God bless
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.
This was a very informative, insightful no BS conversation.
Thank You.
Thank you, both!
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
He's got the Sean Ryan show vibe to it on this video lol I'm loving it,
Your killing it mike!
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
