This guys level of intelligence is amazing. He’s mature, emotionally intelligent, intellectually sound. I find it so fascinating how someone so lethal is also so knowledgeable about life and how humans operate. This guy is a true specimen of a human being. Thank you for your service Jeff 🇨🇦 I could listen to you talk all day brother
Thank you Jeff for keeping our country safe and protecting our freedoms. Please continue to spread the word of JTF2 and the C.A.F, hopefully we can strengthen our country's Armed Forces. We appreciate everything you guys and gals have done. Nothing but Love and respect from a fellow Canadian. 🙏 🇨🇦 🎖🍁
Jeff is absolutely incorrect about about off duty police. In Canada nobody is allowed to carry unless on duty police or security. When off duty they cannot carry their weapon. Canadian law makes no exception. Canadian gun laws are convoluted at best now completely absurd st worst
So nice to hear you interview a Canadian. I really want our Canadian soldiers to be honoured. Mike Sarraille interviewed Glen Cowan, another Cdn JTF2. Another great interview.
Jeff. Man I really enjoyed listening to you! I am an American, but lived in BC for 9 years. Made alot of good friends when I lived in Canada. Still maintain the relationships. I greatly appreciate my Canadian Brothers & Sisters who stepped up to the plate, to do what was necessary. Much respect. Stay strong Brother!
Mike, Exceptional podcast. I have great admiration for your guest. Veterans need and deserve all the help they can get. It’s also great that they work with the general public.👍 Thank you gentlemen, Sandy
Wonder if he served with another Canadian legend, Devon Larratt from the arm wrestling world. He served 16 years with JTF2. Hey Mike, look into Devon and getting him on here. He's hilarious and entertaining and an unassuming bad ass. He could give you hours of good content, Great channel btw.
Thanks for speaking to a Canadian operator. He's right, we don't do enough here for our military promotion or even some of the highlights. It's disappointing to me, and hoping that will change in the coming years.
Not until the current power structure is cleared out of politics. The winds of change do seem to be blowing though and many Canadians are finally starting to pay attention. Our biggest problem has always been most Canadians just wanting to live their life and not really follow what the politicians are up to outside of watching the news or reading the occasional paper.
Thank you for having a Canadian. As you said most people don't know our contributions and sacrifices in war. I will always be extremely proud and supportive to the men and women that serve in the Canadian forces❤
If it makes you feel better me and many people I've known are well aware of the Canadian armed forces contributions and their incredible level of ability
Dark knight yeah I was gonna say his combat talk won’t be so good for Shawn Ryan show but he would fit right in with the psychedelic and brain talk for the Shawn Ryan show so the combat is just a plus I guess.
i love that the SF is so into plant medicines as a healing therapy for all the shit they've gone through. I've watched and listened to so many and have NEVER heard a negative experience and NEVER heard of coming away from it without being a better human being. I personally practice psilocybin microdosing, very very small amount of golden teacher mushrooms that I grow at home. I'm not a war veteran but I've had a shitload of drug issues when i was younger with multiple arrests and lots of family issues to this day. My entire life changed the day I did LSD for the first time (a bit too much tbh) and i was confronted with the harsh reality i was living. I cried intensely for my mother's suffering of what her child was going through and what it was doing to my family. It shocked my entire being back into formation and I graduated with honors from engineering school. I got my life back on track. Somehow I forgot the pain of others due to your own actions along the journey of life. Now I microdose psilocybin muchrooms 3 times a week I also take 1 gram of lions mane mushrooms (edible mushrooms that dont get you high but have neurogenesis properties) every morning first thing when i wake up and have been doing so for 4 years. It doesn't get rid of it, but it give you the tools and perspective to deal with it in YOUR way. It's the best life coach on earth. twice a year I do a big dose of mushrooms to feel that pain again, and the physical discomfort of throwing yourself off the deep end and working your way out of there. I don't drink anymore, smoke anymore, or do "drugs". As a software engineer, my career has sky rocketed. People trust and rely on me every day and what I do is so important for anyone that has health insurance. My mind is right now. Before I suffered.
Hey Mike, you should really look into getting Bazzel Baz on the show. Citadel grad, marine officer and one of the first to help stand up the Marine CounterTerrorism unit(s), Ground Branch officer and the founder of ARC. Association for the Recovery of Children. Amazing man
I agree with him when said "military became less about service more about policy". I was a medic in Canadian Army for 13 years, during my last few years of service the chain of command lower the standards. Soldiers can grow beards, pt standards become none existence, drill instructor cannot yell at soldiers, it was part of boot camp graduation to ruck march with all your kit for 12km, now they got rid of that because it hurts people's feelings. And now they wanted to change the uniform to be more "inclusive". Many Afghan and Iraqi war veterans left the army, they could not put up with constant bs soft new military.
This is probably one of the hardest men alive. That being said, without watching the podcast, I still can't help but immediately picture him being like "so, we goota patrol *aboot* 2 klicks in" or "you boys can't just go in guns-a-blazin', okay there buds? This fella here's Al-Shabaab's number 3; so don't be goin' actin' like no hosers there, we clear? We need old boy alive!" I can't express how much I love Canadians like this. They embody everything a man should be: sweet, thoughtful, strong, kindhearted, killers.
Just now listening (I know I’m going to love it), but wanted to comment on the mic settings. It seems like the guests mic is set to only pick up loud sound, so when he lowers his voice, or finishes a sentence, it’s as if the mic is cutting off before he’s done.
one thing I've been noticing with Mike's guests more and more is how spiritual and philosophical they are as well as how much they care about their mental and physical health. I wouldn't really say new age but I definitely think because of all the crazy shit you would see going to war, that you would have some pretty burning existential questions coming out of that experience.
I was on TF 3-08 OMLT. It was definitely wild. Our boys were killed on December 5 08. I escorted them home for their repatriation. Our teams were tasked with clearing Highway 1... Every day... At the same time... With 2 RG31's and two ANA vehicles. It was pure luck more of us weren't killed on that tour. Great video Pro Patria
CAD gwot vet here, hilarious we are all finding the same paths, good on ya dude, keep at it, thoughts create reality, and that is just the starting point
Hi Mike , I have been binge watching / liking almost all of your videos......I have been looking for a link to videos to see the great military k-9's working/attacking /biting and holding etc. Doing their job ! Any good links to share of it? Thanks.
Hey Mike, this might be off point with this viewing but read your profile and love your interviews, reminded me of my best friend who retired 25 years as a U.S. inner city cop specializing in K-9 tactical training. Post retirement took a one-year contract in Afghanistan to train U.S. soldiers to sniff out mines. With no disrespect to you or your comrades but most likely he was one of the best in the country in his field. In synopsis three years post state side he was diagnosed with (this guy was a fitness nut) terminal lung cancer. With all due respect to those who served, as my father's best friend once stated the first thing, he was taught in the military was, it doesn't take a bullet to take a soldier out. Blessings.
Had a very similar deployment to Khost Afghanistan in 2011. We came in to an AO where they wouldn't even leave the COP without EOD in trucks. Our leadership were "high-speed" we had consistent show of force in the area and within the first 8 months we went from getting hit daily with small arms and indirect fire to once every few weeks.
Another absolutely fuckin phenomenal interview brother, Wow, This channel keeps me guessing at who will be next & while I’m waiting I’m able to catch up on your book since you’ve gifted us with that as well, Thank u! This type of dialogue is what our country needs & is missing
Looking forward to watching another episode Mike. Long time viewer, not sure how you don't have a million subs yet. You should release more shorts, and maybe darken the room...not to make it sound weird or anything.
You should get Devon Laratt on Mike. He's retired JTF2 & Royal Canadian Regiment Infantry and a world champion armwrestler. The guy is a legend in the canadian forces
Mike, great podcast man, love what ya do and am inspired by what your teams have done.. can you send me a link to the dog food. Would love to get my boy on some quality feed as he is the man of the house who protects my wife, daughter, and daughter on the way. Thanks brother.
Wow, I’m ignorant! I wasn’t aware Canadians were over there fighting aswell. Jeff is a badass! Lighting round was very interesting! Keep them coming Mike 👊🏼
Most people aren't even aware that Canada has a top-tier special forces operations unit like JTF2, so don't feel bad for not being aware that Canadians were over there fighting, too.
Between Shawn, you and a few other dudes... the crossover between my military buddies and Burning Man buddies is about to become massive. It's been massive for years, but now that it's mainstream, millions of lives will be changed for the better; even for people that are part of neither group. (edit: that being said, the military/psychedelic thing has been the stupidest open secret for years. "Oh, you're the kind of person that is willing to go on to a 2 way range, beerbong a 1/5th of vodka in the barracks and marry a stripper you've known for 8 weeks... but you're SUPER DUPER against swallowing this tasteless magic capsule? Shit, well, checks out to me!" - Security Clearance people)
@@MFKR696 maybe listen to the whole interview? You’ve got the complete wrong end of the stick there old boy. I’m talking about how they function, how they operate and what their cultures are like. I’m not asking for an infantile ‘who’s the best’ ranking. Not all comparison is negative. You need to quit the projection. Jeff was about to go on a really interesting tangent about what he thought the operational differences were at 1:37:45. However, Mike then cuts him off by asking a frankly childish question about who would Jeff call upon if he himself was in a hostage rescue situation where he needed saving. Mike’s the only person here that made it about ‘how good they are’. I’m not interested in a dick measuring competition. We all know an operator would choose the unit they worked for in that situation, it was a waste of a question. Jeff was about to start sharing some really interesting things before Mike cut him up. You should listen.
Careful the lucent one isn’t called the liar deceiver and murderer for nothing! He loves to take the truth mix it in to man’s insatiable appetite for his own wisdom. Our battle isn’t an earthly one but with principalities of the air! These two books are chalked full of it!
I've seen the video of that sniper shot. It was a group of Isis stacked on a bombed out wall being pretty skittish, looked like the sniper probably walked a couple rounds in because you could see hits in the dirt and on the wall but the isis guys must have thought it was just richochets because they didn't react until one of them got clapped. Definitely one of the craziest shots made. Canadians hold like 4 of the top ten longest sniper kills and some of the highest kill rates.
Mike where can I learn more about you bringing me a protection dog here in Toronto like cost and details ? Where can I learn more about it ? I’m interested
To pierce the veil, zen meditation can allow access to the undifferentiated. However, it requires hard pracrice, years even. In my situation, four years in a monastery, possibly 10,000 hours on the cushion, that opening does happen.
Paul Phillips, a retired U.S. Marine and owner of Global Precision Group, a rifle testing company, currently holds the world record for the longest documented rifle shot EVER - 7,070 yards, or four miles. It took him 13 rounds with a .416 Barret (10.4×83mm). It's a bold and _highly_ debatable statement to say the best snipers in the world are Canadian. Distance is definitely and obviously a factor in sniping but it's just one of several factors that go into making great snipers. ROEs play a part in sniping too and Canadian snipers may have the top three or four longest sniper kills simply because their SOPs are more free in terms of taking shots past a certain distance that sniper units in other countries simply don't for tactical reasons. People don't realize that missed shots by snipers can have severe consequences. Sniper engagements have to be cleared first in many cases and the last thing leadership on an operation wants to do is fuck up an entire operation because a sniper team missed a 4,000 yard shot, gave up their position, stirred up a hornets nest, and now they need immediate exfil and the whole operation is compromised. All I'm saying is that sometimes people have impressive accomplishments simply because they had many more opportunities over everyone else to perform a given task
Thank you guys for your service, its great to hear that herbs are able to be viewed maturely and utilized for the benefits they offer. I really think hemp as a whole could really take the place of many thousands of materials such as plastics, styrofoam, etc I know that wasnt the point of this interview, but it seems thc and more powerful options have had benefits where otherwise it was a dead end, such as seizures.
Another good interview. Had my head spinning for awhile. I think this dude is destined to be single. A chick has to spool up on some serious mind bending waves & theta shit. Mike “ Are you into halucenagenics ? Clearly !!!! Leave the toads alone. Mike thanks again for these gems and for the dog food that really helps my best friend.
Not so many people can hang out here in the deep end of the pool like this, it makes some folks uncomfortable… personally, I like people like him because their not so reactionary.

I was on TF 3-08 OMLT. It was definitely wild. Our boys were killed on December 5 08. I escorted them home for their repatriation. Our teams were tasked with clearing Highway 1... Every day... At the same time... With 2 RG31's and two ANA vehicles. It was pure luck more of us weren't killed on that tour.
Great video

Great stuff Mike, as always. Appreciate you
CAD gwot vet here, hilarious we are all finding the same paths, good on ya dude, keep at it, thoughts create reality, and that is just the starting point
Jeff is amazing! So happy to see him on here 🤘🏼
This is great shout out to all in service and serverd thank you
Another great episode. My favorite podcast by far.
Another great show Mike !
I like this guy he has read and understands the Toa Te Ching …
Just ordered some of your dog food excited to give it to my cane corso!!
This gets a lot better after the first 40 min
Damn man you just keep dishing them out.....You a work horse 👍🔥🇺🇸
FN-MAG 7.62 machine gun. That's what Jeff was talking about, Mike. The Canadian Army calls it the C6.
Hi Mike , I have been binge watching / liking almost all of your videos......I have been looking for a link to videos to see the great military k-9's working/attacking /biting and holding etc. Doing their job ! Any good links to share of it? Thanks.
Outstanding podcast
5-meo reset me proper, was wild to hear Jeff mentioned having experience w it…..
A riveting episode. Thanks Jeff Depatie for sharing your story and of course Mike, you are Mint.
This got weird quick.
Trying to comprehend.
Hey Mike, this might be off point with this viewing but read your profile and love your interviews, reminded me of my best friend who retired 25 years as a U.S. inner city cop specializing in K-9 tactical training. Post retirement took a one-year contract in Afghanistan to train U.S. soldiers to sniff out mines. With no disrespect to you or your comrades but most likely he was one of the best in the country in his field. In synopsis three years post state side he was diagnosed with (this guy was a fitness nut) terminal lung cancer. With all due respect to those who served, as my father's best friend once stated the first thing, he was taught in the military was, it doesn't take a bullet to take a soldier out. Blessings.
Had a very similar deployment to Khost Afghanistan in 2011. We came in to an AO where they wouldn't even leave the COP without EOD in trucks. Our leadership were "high-speed" we had consistent show of force in the area and within the first 8 months we went from getting hit daily with small arms and indirect fire to once every few weeks.
He mentioned the book Power v Force in the lightning round and I'm already a fan!
Another absolutely fuckin phenomenal interview brother, Wow, This channel keeps me guessing at who will be next & while I’m waiting I’m able to catch up on your book since you’ve gifted us with that as well, Thank u! This type of dialogue is what our country needs & is missing
"He DOES mainline syrup, before he shoots people in the face... and then apologizes after it."
LMAO Mike is so funny, and has great delivery👌🏻
3 of the 5 longest recorded sniper kills : Canadian. The bullet says “Sorry, Eh” before a .50cal A-Max or .338 Lapua cuts you in half.
Looking forward to watching another episode Mike.
Long time viewer, not sure how you don't have a million subs yet.
You should release more shorts, and maybe darken the room...not to make it sound weird or anything.
1:37:45 BEST SPECIAL OOPS QUESTION EVER no cap
Shame Mike buts in and doesn’t let him answer.
Thank you for this!
I'm excited to work out to this
oh, yeah.
pls switch the mic for ur guests or tune it, these backnoises drive me crazy :D
You should get Devon Laratt on Mike. He's retired JTF2 & Royal Canadian Regiment Infantry and a world champion armwrestler. The guy is a legend in the canadian forces
I find this guy hilarious!! Almost like it’s an SNL skit. Owen Wilson would play him perfectly.
Decaf coffee is poison juice. Look into how they remove the caffeine. Good thing you don't really drink it much!! Interesting chat, thanks guys.
The blue water bridge that's the name of the other bridge up here in Michigan 🤙 love your show brother
Thanks Mr Ritland.... Canadian here. Your pod fuckin rocks.
Mike, great podcast man, love what ya do and am inspired by what your teams have done.. can you send me a link to the dog food. Would love to get my boy on some quality feed as he is the man of the house who protects my wife, daughter, and daughter on the way. Thanks brother.
Interesting conversation at the beginning. Lots of people think strangely of folks who talk about the none readily apparent…
As per great guest great interview
Great Podcast Mike... enjoyed your book Unf*ck America... you took the words right out of my head😀
Wow, I’m ignorant! I wasn’t aware Canadians were over there fighting aswell.
Jeff is a badass! Lighting round was very interesting!
Keep them coming Mike 👊🏼
Most people aren't even aware that Canada has a top-tier special forces operations unit like JTF2, so don't feel bad for not being aware that Canadians were over there fighting, too.
This comment and the response is so funny made my day lol cheers boys
@@pjl8017 I’m not aware of a lot of things lol but I’m trying to learn more. Cheers 🍻
Fantastic episode ❤️
Between Shawn, you and a few other dudes... the crossover between my military buddies and Burning Man buddies is about to become massive.
It's been massive for years, but now that it's mainstream, millions of lives will be changed for the better; even for people that are part of neither group.
(edit: that being said, the military/psychedelic thing has been the stupidest open secret for years. "Oh, you're the kind of person that is willing to go on to a 2 way range, beerbong a 1/5th of vodka in the barracks and marry a stripper you've known for 8 weeks... but you're SUPER DUPER against swallowing this tasteless magic capsule? Shit, well, checks out to me!" - Security Clearance people)
Excellent! Thank you!
Excellent. 💪🌠👍
Thank you Sirs, shared.
Nice
Wow .. Great interview.
Ohhhhh boy here we go again with the hallucinogenic trip!
I would have loved to have heard about what he thought the differences were between all the international tier 1 unit’s.
@@MFKR696 maybe listen to the whole interview? You’ve got the complete wrong end of the stick there old boy. I’m talking about how they function, how they operate and what their cultures are like. I’m not asking for an infantile ‘who’s the best’ ranking. Not all comparison is negative. You need to quit the projection.
Jeff was about to go on a really interesting tangent about what he thought the operational differences were at 1:37:45. However, Mike then cuts him off by asking a frankly childish question about who would Jeff call upon if he himself was in a hostage rescue situation where he needed saving. Mike’s the only person here that made it about ‘how good they are’. I’m not interested in a dick measuring competition. We all know an operator would choose the unit they worked for in that situation, it was a waste of a question.
Jeff was about to start sharing some really interesting things before Mike cut him up. You should listen.
@@MFKR696 ahaha and he doubles down.
Weird fella.
Fuck, was not prepared for this guy to be this deep of a thinker but I'm here for it.
Careful the lucent one isn’t called the liar deceiver and murderer for nothing! He loves to take the truth mix it in to man’s insatiable appetite for his own wisdom. Our battle isn’t an earthly one but with principalities of the air! These two books are chalked full of it!
I've seen the video of that sniper shot. It was a group of Isis stacked on a bombed out wall being pretty skittish, looked like the sniper probably walked a couple rounds in because you could see hits in the dirt and on the wall but the isis guys must have thought it was just richochets because they didn't react until one of them got clapped. Definitely one of the craziest shots made. Canadians hold like 4 of the top ten longest sniper kills and some of the highest kill rates.
Thats because they are always so far in the rear...
@@combatsolutionsgroup2021Remind us not to help your sorry ass
This guy is special forces ace Ventura lol
Lol, Ace Ventura if he was very stoned and functioning way slower than in the movies.
It's amazing when all that training kicks in after being mortared and rpg'd all sof guys go to "work".
Mike where can I learn more about you bringing me a protection dog here in Toronto like cost and details ? Where can I learn more about it ? I’m interested
go to trikos.com and email the team to get started
Welcome to TX.... now let's get this interview rocking. SINE PARI
Hey Mike, you think you can get some more international SOF guys from places like UK, Canada, Australia and NZ?
Your podcast is awesome. U should have jimmy Watson on
To pierce the veil, zen meditation can allow access to the undifferentiated. However, it requires hard pracrice, years even. In my situation, four years in a monastery, possibly 10,000 hours on the cushion, that opening does happen.
Very cool stuff
Lol yupp you definitely crossed thru sault ste marie by the sounds of it.
The History channel featured that Canadian sniper and his miraculous shot many years ago
C6 is our general purpose machine gun C6 is our mini machine gun
Paul Phillips, a retired U.S. Marine and owner of Global Precision Group, a rifle testing company, currently holds the world record for the longest documented rifle shot EVER - 7,070 yards, or four miles. It took him 13 rounds with a .416 Barret (10.4×83mm).
It's a bold and _highly_ debatable statement to say the best snipers in the world are Canadian. Distance is definitely and obviously a factor in sniping but it's just one of several factors that go into making great snipers. ROEs play a part in sniping too and Canadian snipers may have the top three or four longest sniper kills simply because their SOPs are more free in terms of taking shots past a certain distance that sniper units in other countries simply don't for tactical reasons. People don't realize that missed shots by snipers can have severe consequences. Sniper engagements have to be cleared first in many cases and the last thing leadership on an operation wants to do is fuck up an entire operation because a sniper team missed a 4,000 yard shot, gave up their position, stirred up a hornets nest, and now they need immediate exfil and the whole operation is compromised. All I'm saying is that sometimes people have impressive accomplishments simply because they had many more opportunities over everyone else to perform a given task
Bud it's not a competition. You come off like you have sour grapes for some reason. Just say nice shot and move on.
Ya pack it in
Thank you guys for your service, its great to hear that herbs are able to be viewed maturely and utilized for the benefits they offer. I really think hemp as a whole could really take the place of many thousands of materials such as plastics, styrofoam, etc I know that wasnt the point of this interview, but it seems thc and more powerful options have had benefits where otherwise it was a dead end, such as seizures.
Another good interview. Had my head spinning for awhile. I think this dude is destined to be single. A chick has to spool up on some serious mind bending waves & theta shit. Mike “ Are you into halucenagenics ? Clearly !!!! Leave the toads alone. Mike thanks again for these gems and for the dog food that really helps my best friend.
What if that's what he chooses to heal his mind man? your not in his shoes
He’s married bud
@@Billeh556 ah the high school jokes, good one
Not so many people can hang out here in the deep end of the pool like this, it makes some folks uncomfortable… personally, I like people like him because their not so reactionary.
When Devon comes on you have to arm wrestle him.
Great book gene keys
