I've heard Rob tell that story at least a half dozen times... and it never gets old
Kind of does
@@perkosherrigh7243 I agree with Andy Stumpf,I can't imagine that this is all Rob O' Neill wants to be known for and that this is all he wants to talk about
for the rest of his life(or maybe it is,I don't know).
@@perkosherrigh7243 You can ALWAYS just not tune in Jerko.
@@perkosherrigh7243 especially when the story is BS!
Yes it does. Ain’t nothing cool talking about murder.
Mr. O'Neill, My father was one of the people that was diagnosed with cancer post 9/11, and ultimately was proven to be as a result of 9/11 via the 9/11 Victims Foundation. He had no business to be there, helping pull people out of the rubble while in his suit coming from court, but he was there. He was a lawyer for a HUGE insurance company and was there at ground-zero leaving a meeting with his boss. He just reacted, and started helping pull people out of the rubble and get people to safety. It took hours before he was able to call home and let my mother and I know he was okay and that he rented a UHAUL truck and was driving it back to Omaha with his boss. A couple years later he was diagnosed with cancer and unfortunately passed away. As a result, I was filled with a lot of rage for a few years that I was able to suppress via different outlets, but I will NEVER forget how I felt that night hearing the president come across the screen to let us know that an operation was conducted resulting in the death of Osama Bin Laden. I was in college with my 2 closest friends in our house playing video games at the dining room table together and the announcement came across the TV. I recall distinctly just feeling this huge weight of anger, and resentment lifted off of my shoulders. I locked myself in my room and cried for probably hours, and it was the most satisfying cry and probably the hardest I've ever cried in my life. Thank you for bringing justice to my family, and many others like it around the world. I wasn't born in the United States, I was adopted at a young age and acquired my citizenship years later. But, it's Americans like you that make me proud to be here, living the dream.
Edit /
Thank you all for the comments. I actually screenshotted your comments etc and showed them to my mother (she's NOT tech savvy at all, bless her heart) and she is more than thankful for your responses and kind words. I guess I have always looked as my father as MY hero, but never as A hero.. if that makes sense. Like, one that other people would refer to as a hero. But, hearing it from other people really, REALLY makes sense. Thank you again.
Your dad is awesome.
@@sixplymaple1262 I'm not sure how reading those 4 words made me tear up, but they did. On behalf of my family, thank you.
you may not have been born here but your an american and im thankful for men like your father as much as i am men like rob thank you stay happy and humble.
Your father will always be a hero. And America is better with you in it.
@@theroachden6195 Thank you man.
Sometimes I wonder where I'd be if I wasn't here. I don't exactly know the state of my living conditions when I lived in my birth country (I COULD if I wanted to, but I choose not to because tbh I'm more than content with my life), but the thought has crossed my mind more than once. But, it doesn't stay for long because as I've said before, this is the BEST country in the world. I am afforded so many opportunities to succeed and to thrive here. I live in the heart of the midwest, and even still being someone of a different color, I still feel like I get treated fairly, and respectfully. Sure, I've had my instances of racism, but they are few and far between. And, each time I do encounter that, soon after I encounter a new instance that again, solidifies that this country and it's people are where I want to raise my family.
Rob has great stories, he's the most likable guy and is down to earth. He's someone who you would always want around to keep the party going.
Mike is the best interviewer. He doesn’t miss a thing. Thank you Mike. You’re rocking this gig.
Could listen to Rob for days. Both of you have given more than most will ever know. Thank you!
YES SIR YES SIR YES SIR A M E N
So I guess you're both lying racist Killers huh😅😅😅
Waited for this. “ We don’t deserve dogs” absolutely. Great job men. Absolutely awesome. Thanks Rob for shooting the SOB. Ordered Robs book autographed as well as yours Mike. My dog loves the Team dog food. Thanks for all you guys did and continue to do for our country. 🇺🇸

Part 2 🙏 incredible episode!!! Mike you have a knack to engage the guest and get good genuine never before heard details and stories! Great work! Thank you.
I love the in person interviews but I am over the moon to see these ones happening just for the extra content. Best podcast out there.
Great stuff gentlemen. Big, big balls on a lot of those missions and to get out alive. Even operating around the various aircraft where anything could go wrong before you even get on a target is amazing. Thanks Rob and Mike.
Thank both of you guys so much for this. I've been looking forward to it for a long, long time. Great job and thanks again !
Hell yeah, can’t wait! Keep up the great work Mike.
Thanks for this, Mike ... you had your work cut out for you getting a word in edgewise with Rob and his gift of gab😂. GREAT show!
This guy killed Bin Laden so he can talk all he wants and should never pay for a drink 😂
@@hanktrill1498 I don't disagree at all; I'm just saying that Mike was on mute for 90% of the time (which may be why Rob has a mug that states just that!)🤣 Rob's one of the few people that I can listen to without getting bored or pissed (though I do get tired playing verbal gymnastics). Good stuff.
Thanx, both of you! I love you both and all you've done and continue to do for this country. Hooyah
Never get tired hearing O"Neill's story. Great interview.
I lived in NYC when 09/11 happened.
Sad day for America, sad day for the world.
But I got to see the best side of America literally the day after the attack.
New Yorkers got together and pulled thru.
Thank you both for your service.
New Yorkers pulled together as did the nation. We are definitely living in different times today. Sometimes it takes a common struggle to bring people together unfortunately. Honestly I don't think ANYTHING could bring us all together like that these days
What a badass episode! Thanks Mike for finally having Rob on.
I know there’s a lot of controversy about the SEALs and the Bin Laden raid in particular, but one thing I’ve noticed - and maybe it’s just from the podcasts I listen to - but the Team guys always seem to be really respectful of other units, both SOF and conventional. Rob speaks very highly of the AFSOC guys and the Rangers here. Jocko always speaks very highly of the soldiers and Marines he worked with in Ramadi. There are plenty of others, I just can’t think of them off the top of my head. But I feel like I hear a lot more bashing of SEALs by other units than vice versa. It could just be coincidence from the people I’ve heard on podcasts, but it is interesting.
Best interview of Rob I’ve seen yet! Great job Mike!
Mike, great interview and thank you. Rob, mad respect for ALL of you guys and what you do. Blessings
It’s finally happening! Been patiently waiting for this one since the Pandemic video!
Same hahahahh. We still need a part 2 of that seals during pandemic video
@@tron1031 agreed!
Scamdemic video? Is this "Pandemic" video on the "Tubes of You? or what channel was it on?"
th-cam.com/video/1QPFPgc_nZ0/w-d-xo.html
If you’re talking about this one Phil. It’s on Shawn Ryan’s vigilance elite channel. Great listen for a lot of laughs. I would turn around and give whoopie Goldberg a BJ 😂😂
The one about no T.P., so just use the "ass blaster"? 😜
You got my sub, instantly Mike once I saw your team took the time to timestamp the entire podcast. Good day, sir.
The team forms when everybody understands the team concept. I love listening to this!
WOOOOOOOH 🎉🎉🎉🎉 finally man! Never thought I'd see the day. Hope he gets Rob to say some stuff he hasn't said before
Cool interview! I get people have questions, hell I would have questions, but I imagine you all would sometimes like to just hear thanks for your service and be on your way.
Great job!
What an incredible and completely awesome show Thank you for such a great experience.
Great Mike Drop. Appreciate you both! Fight On!
Mike this is one of my favorites! Of course as I say this I think of so many others. Your show is very very good and I really enjoy each of your programs!
Rob O'Neill, thank you. I bought your book and paid full price. Worth every penny.
Hell yeah Mike! Thanks for everything you do man!! 💯🔥🍻
Thanks mike!!! This was a great episode as usual .
Excellent discussion and stories again! Thanks Mike and Rob!
I love hearing Rob speak. Thank you for your service Rob. Thank you for your service Mike.
One of my favorite RJO interviews.
Mike can we get a video with a guest of your choice that solely covers Ukraine-Russia war? Great interview, and Rob you a good dude.
You both are rockstars in my book ! Thanks for being bad ass and loving our country !!
Hearing the sniper’s guns did not need to be sighted in for the Captain Phillips rescue is absolutely badassery!!
Huh?
Thanks for this, GREAT episode guys!
That was one of the "coolest" Mike Drops you have done! Great job Mike! Proud US Navy squidly retired.
Thanks for the update! Keep em comin
Thank you both for your service
Awesome interview, thanks guys. God bless you bad ass guys.
Awesome! Thank you for everything that you did for our great country!
thanks Rob and the team for doing such an important service for mankind
Great job , men.. I could listen to both of you for hours. Thank you..
Thanks for listening
I remember meeting Rob back in 07 when I was on red team. Only spoke with him for a few minutes but it didn't take long to realize that he was good dude. I'm happy everything worked for him.
You mean Red Squadron?
Great interview! Never gets old hearing this story!!
Fantastic pod cast! Thank you for all your hard work in making these pod casts!
It’s crazy how Rob shows that navy seals are really normal people. Very cool!!! God bless America. And fjb 💪🇺🇸💯
Great stories. Have been a Mike Drop podcast fan for a long time. Its good to see you're keeping it going. Im not much of a fan of the Uninfluenced podcast however. Looking forward to more Mike Drop! Cheers.
This story never gets old and what I like is that wverytime I hear it rob remembers different stuff about it that he didn't mention before. So every story will have different t bits to it which is exciting
Different stuff? Almost like it’s a work of fiction
"Different stuff" huh?
More like a BS story from a glory Hog.
MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE??????? WHEN ARR YOU GETTING DON SHIPLEY ON HERE??. OMG THAT BE FIRE
Rob read your fkng book about 6 times. cant get enough of it . well writen. great insight dude !!!
Rob talks 100 miles an hour and is super hard to follow. He says a lot of things that need to be questioned and he always pretty much tells the exact same story each time. I’m glad Mike Ritland got to interview him because Mike is very thorough
Great podcast featuring two of America’s finest. I would love to see the podcast with Rob and Dakota together.
I already got the book it’s still sitting on my bookshelf but it is the next one I will read. I’ve never listen to a full 2 1/2 hours or anything like this but I did listen to this one amazing just amazing I’m going to send it to a couple of friends thank both of you very much you’re both a rose in my book❤
I would never ask Rob O’Neill anything, I’d just kneel and say thank you sir .. sincerely a military Mom 💕
Spectacular episode! Both men on point!
Great episode, Mike. Please have MSG Kevin Holland on the show. As far as I could see, he's the only man in history to serve in both DEVGRU and Delta force. Just Imagine the stories the guy must have!!
There have been others.
Great interview with a true American Hero! Personally, I consider anyone who is dedicated enough to get through Navy SEAL training or any of the other top Tier 1 Special Forces programs as real heros because it's a tough life dedicated to serving our country at the point of the spear.
It would be incredibly interesting to hear from guys who were both Navy SEALS in DEVGRU AND Delta Force! I'd love to hear what their opinions are on the differences between the two and which if either DEVGRU vs DELTA Force which they would consider as the more difficult, better trained (if there is 1 better than the other) and all the related stories and info that would be great!
I would LOVE to see Kevin Holland. He would have some stories to tell for sure.
@@echoromeo5024 Nope! Kevin Holland is the only one. He served in the SEAL TEAMS and DEVGRU in late 80s and 90s. He got out of the military before 9/11 happened. Then once the GWOD started he enlisted in the Army and made it to CAG, where he did multiple deployments.
Hell yeah I've been waiting for this one
Another great pod cast Mike
Absolute beasts! Thanks guys.
What's the chances of interviewing Marcus Lutrell and possibly his brother post rescue and with his brother running for office?
Can’t wait!!!
Thanks Mike Drop a.k.a. Dog whisperer. Thanks for loving, handling, and training soldiers who can be the tip of the Spear. V /R
I appreciate the directness of how he tells his experience. ❤
Been waiting so long for this one
He is great to listen to, love the stories!
👍❤💪 great interview & video brothers.
The manliest podcast we never knew we needed 🔥🐸
Mike coming in stupid fast with that “In crayon” killed me 😂
Awesome podcast mike! Keep up the great work!

I read O'Neal's book, the operator.
It was terrific.
One of my favorite
Looking forward to this one bro
Awesome podcast Mike! Keep up the great work!

MikeDrop shoutout from Mississippi. 🇺🇸🤙🏼
Awesome interview, dude is funny as hell
Morning Gentlemen. Starting off the day right today.
Had the pleasure of arranging a speaking engagement with Rob a few years ago in Reno. The 1,500 people in the audience didn't know he was first up and the agenda. He lit the room up with a 90 minute presentation on leadership, with a very effective video running behind him as he narrated it. He fired up the room, energy that lasted for the 3 days of the conference.
Glad I left Reno, way too many gullible sheep in that city now. Rob is FOS, try checking out Matt's version, way less drama and less bullshit, and his story doesn't change like Rob's does.
@@whiplash3kilo756 Didn't involve OBL, other things on other deployments. With lots of drone video.
Hey Mike... excellent interview by and by, KUDO'S!
We need kris paronto from the Benghazi attack on here!
YES!!!! 💯
