Mike the news media is in the media business. The goal of any business is to maximize profit. What drives what we see is money, not morality. I am not in the media business but I would bet a year of my earned income that news media companies have spent a lot of money studying what brings in the highest ratings. They continuously focus on the sensational, horrifying, scandalous, obscene, racially charged, etc because that’s what brings in the highest ratings.. If the masses stopped paying attention to that shit they would stop talking about those things. People won’t stop paying attention though because we are evolved to pay attention to matters that in tribal times likely would have impacted our personal safety/security. No insidious grand conspiracy, just business. Love the podcast. Can’t wait for the next one!
@@LabradoodleTofuBoy Yeah, I agree, Mike totally seems like an older Brother to Nick too. They both have the same sense of humour and aren't megalomaniacs like some dudes in SOF
David Bury David Bury nah that’s a definite skill that he’s developed, probably baseline a bit higher than a lot of folk but he’s the way he’s able to connect to whoever the guest is and bring out what he’s after is definitely something that takes a lot of training and effort. check the episode with will chesney and how he was able to bring him through his story.
Working in a nursing home and having many vets at the facility, my favorite thing is Veterans Day and putting together a program to honor them and the appreciation in their face and in some cases the tears from being acknowledged especially during this pandemic time when family can not visit. Thank you guys for allowing people like me that did not serve to be able to be free.
Holy crap! I started watching this a few days ago and the mess that is going on now could not be more relevant to this conversation! Thank the two of y’all for keeping some hope in my heart!!! Really love to hear some talk from the way the VAST MAJORITY of us Americans feel!!!
WOW! What a great discussion Mike, was excellent listening Nick. You reached out and touched me bud. Having come from an interracial family (black father, brother, and two sisters) and living in Gary, IN West Side for 8 years I believed there was no way I could be racist (I'm white FYI). Due to recent circumstances with the riots, looting, etc, sadly I had. After listening to you two I am going to work on eliminating those negative opinions and get back to non-generalizing. Thanks again and realize these discussions change lives.
Found you from reading remis book transformed, then found the reaper from you and just finished it. Inspiring is the only thing I can think. Thank you for your services you guys are truly badass 💯
Just finished.. probably the best podcast ive heard in a long time.. so much legit sensible thinking/reasoning which everyone should be doing.. everyone should watch this..
Love your show... You have said many times about how someone on social media can sit behind their computer and say just about anything they want... and I agree with you.. I have been into computer's (owning companies) from the very beginning and I have always believed if you do not have something constructive or positive to say then, don't say anything...... This is something that needs to be "learned' and "trained" this is 'Old School" but we need to point this out when ever we can... Use your platform to bend minds.... Keep doing what you do... Your Navy brother, David from California
I love you Nick and care about you brother! I just recently seen you on Demolition Ranch and I'm hooked. We are all one experiencing reality subjectively. I honor you brother.
Big Mike, your podcast rocks. Listen I downloaded “The Reaper’s” / Nick’s ebook. Nick you are the man! Thanks for doing what you did, and still do for “all” people by telling your story.
I looked up that ATM video right after you guys talked about it, Nick's face when they cracked that thing open and he first saw the money was priceless. Another great interview really powerful stuff. You are great at this podcast thing!
I hope this video finds lots of people, you guys made a lot of great points on the subject of life currently and the problems with society, thank you for the content friends.
Best podcast ever! OPEN, HONEST AND REAL SHIT THIS IS WHAT MORE OF THE WORLD NEEDS. ITS GREAT WHEN 2 MEN, CAN SIT DOWN TALK ABOUT HARD SHIT THAT PEOPLE FREAK OUT OVER AND NOT GET BENT OUT OF SHAPE
@keith mcdowell I believe you missed the point. The OPs statement was meant to express the fact that when people overcome hardship adversity and pain by working together a trust and bond is formed that breaks any preformed biases.
Always amazing stories the best quests and that laughs starting to pick up these amazing books and gonna look into getting some cbd and powder from you! Take care
Mike, thank you for cranking out another great podcast. Much respect to Nick for your honesty in the many topic of discussions here and wish you continued success.
Nick is a cool guy! He is pretty accurate about us being antennas, and being able to control your life through positive thoughts..etc but it is really deep! I would recommend anyone to look into iowaska and the group "hallucinations" people have had. The things you can see are where modern religion comes from.
This has been the best TH-cam video I have come across except the one with the cat freaking out and dives straight into the wall 😂As a side note you two should become president and Vice President. But seriously what a great video 👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🏆🏆🏆🏆
It's kinda fucked that you don't get the opportunity to purchase your go-to service weapon when you get out, especially one with a legacy like that young lady had.
Loved the podcast Mike, thanks a lot but just wanted to mention that I’m black and that it’s pretty much black people from low income areas who speak like that (axe/ask, burfday/birthday, amberlamps/ambulance, etc). I guess it’s the same as white people saying warsh instead of wash, wrassle instead or wrestle, etc. Nick grew up in a low income environment but his parents were educated which is why they corrected him. It’s just a lack of education and environmental circumstances which is why some black people speak that way. Keep up the great work brother.
I noticed a change in how various races started speaking around 6th grade. I never understood it, because we all had the same classes, same teachers, same homework, etc. Do you think the differences have more to do with what is reinforced at home than at school?
Thanks men. These discussions at the level of intellect and humour are exactly “What the world needs now” to coin a phrase. I owned a PMC only contracts DoD loc OIF and OEF. We’d worked other countries pre 9/11 and racism left the organisation - or probably didn’t exist as we had more important things to do together. With respect
Nick I’ve owned 3 Belgian Mals now , they thrive with Training . You train that Mal right & wont ever have to worry bout it Biting someone ( unless you want it to ) . Best Dogs I’ve ever been around - tho they NEED insane amounts of Work / exercise
Speaking of breeding... A friend of mine and I got sick of hunting our Upland Game spots because they had already been hunted out by our friends. One night we were talking on how best to use his 10 acres of land and we decided that we were going to breed birds and sell/distribute them. Then we started thing about cross breeding bird; a pheasant and a quail would be a phail, a partridge and a chukar would be a parchar…. and so on. Later we decided to mix a chukar and a pheasant and call it a chuckant. My friend changed his mind and decided that the pheasant and chukar should be called a "PHUKAR" so we want to build a phukar farm where you come around and shoot any phukar you like.
2 hours into watching and everything said so far.. SPOTT FUCKING ON.. love watching people who are in reality.. also watch nick in other vids with lunkers etc sighting in scopes etc.. always awesome content.. can tell u both are awesome guys..
Ol bill w used lsd to dry and cure his chronic depression he had been sober many many years before he tried that. not without some controversy. I listen to a lot of podcasts this is the first I've ever donated to. Keep up the bad ass work.
Great conversation and podcast, I wish everyone had and understood the ability of how to communicate especially with political topics. Great job guys 💯
Probably one of the best discussions on race I’ve heard - although 40mike mike did dominate the discussion😀. That said, he expressed very eloquently what most of us want to say. Another great podcast. Keep it comin’
Just read the book, Threat Zero. It was fucking insanely good. Can't wait to get my Hand On Drone Strike. The team-up with Tata Is far better than him alone. Outstanding writing , Plot , delivery,pace, with total PLAUSIBILITY. I will own and read all Hardcovers of all your books by the end of the week. Thank you, Mr. Irving and Mike Ritland for your service to our country, You are appreciated greatly. P.S. I had no trouble garnering 5 of my friends to both subscribe to your channel and read Mr. Irving's books.
New viewer here Mike and I'm a definite fan! unfortunately, I blew out my shoulder a couple weeks ago and had a reconstruction surgery done early this week . Been in the recliner watching youtube on my tv because i can't do much else right now. I came across your podcast during topic searches and began to watch many of them. Words can't do justice to the education you and your combat vet guests provide those of us who have no experience in the arena you combat vets have. First and foremost, I thank you and your vet guests for your bravery and dedicated service to our nation. It's a privilege for America to have men like you and your guests. Quite frankly, the stories shared on your podcast are far more revealing than any news we civilians receive. I feel more Americans should be watching these podcasts...I believe a new perspective would exist if they did. My father was a Korean war vet and served in the army. He taught me about patriotism and what the flag means to all vets. He was a very proud vet. I thought I knew patriotism learning from him but your podcast and guests have taken me to a new level of patriotic pride because you gents have opened my eyes like never before. My sincerest gratitude goes out to you, shawn ryan, nick irving, kevin owens and the rest of the guests (list is too long to type one handed!) God bless you all and thanks again for your service to our nation!

Hey Michael b jordan isn't Michael Jordans son lol they are not even related. Just because he's black doesn't mean he's his son.
Nick should be a regular. One of my favorite guests.
I also like Nick. He's so humble, down to earth, and very solid. I can't wait to read his book.
@@LabradoodleTofuBoy Yeah, I agree, Mike totally seems like an older Brother to Nick too. They both have the same sense of humour and aren't megalomaniacs like some dudes in SOF
Nick has been on a bunch of demoranch videos, He is funny as all hell
I agree!!!
Dave, Shawn, and Nick
MY MAN NICK MAY BE:
“ THE REAPER “
BUT, HE’S ABSOLUTELY:
“ HEAVEN SENT “
GOD BLESS THIS WARRIOR
Mike, the Joe Rogan of Spec Ops! LOL!
Fucking right🤘🤘

7 minutes in and I can already understand why this man is great. Going to wait for my son to get home so we can watch it together.
This is easily one of if not my favorite podcasts out there. Can't wait for the next one to drop!
Loved the first podcast with Nick, can’t wait to see this one all the way!!! Thanks fellas!!! 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

Badass episode. Been following nick since his first reaper book and sofrep team room. Badass gents
Good sit down right here. Respect to both of em. When u serve the biggest blessing is being surrounded by people like these two
Big Mike, your podcast rocks. Listen I downloaded “The Reaper’s” / Nick’s ebook. Nick you are the man! Thanks for doing what you did, and still do for “all” people by telling your story.
Mike you picked an excellent guy to interview! Nick seems to be a really good guy and one of my favorite guests!
Nick irving is a great guy and very well spoken. I could listen to him all day and his books are outstanding.
Me too
I looked up that ATM video right after you guys talked about it, Nick's face when they cracked that thing open and he first saw the money was priceless. Another great interview really powerful stuff. You are great at this podcast thing!
Love this dude. Thank you for everything, Nick

Another superb podcast, Mike. As a dad, loved the bit about ‘how come there are so many kids’???
I hope this video finds lots of people, you guys made a lot of great points on the subject of life currently and the problems with society, thank you for the content friends.

Best podcast ever! OPEN, HONEST AND REAL SHIT THIS IS WHAT MORE OF THE WORLD NEEDS. ITS GREAT WHEN 2 MEN, CAN SIT DOWN TALK ABOUT HARD SHIT THAT PEOPLE FREAK OUT OVER AND NOT GET BENT OUT OF SHAPE
A mandatory 3 years service would help fix racial tension for everyone no exception.
@keith mcdowell being rude to someone hidden behind a keyboard, says a lot about your charater.
@keith mcdowell I believe you missed the point. The OPs statement was meant to express the fact that when people overcome hardship adversity and pain by working together a trust and bond is formed that breaks any preformed biases.
@keith mcdowell sounds like you hang out with your nephew way too much considering he's only 3 years old
keith mcdowell he buddy if you see this you’re not a hard ass a 80lb teenage drug addict with a high point could shut you down .
Good shit Mike! All of your guests are fantastic, but Nick is definitely one of my favorites. Keep it up man!
Always amazing stories the best quests and that laughs starting to pick up these amazing books and gonna look into getting some cbd and powder from you! Take care
Your interviews are really great, thank you for the content!
Just bought both of his books, can't wait to read em.
Nick- this family and kid thing is a challenge but you will never regret the changes you go through. God bless you!!!
Fantastic show Mike Ritland. This one was Great!
I was introduced to Nick after seeing him on Demolition Ranch. Great conversation Mike, as always. Love the show.
Awesome, Very deep conversation. Great show
By far my favorite guest. Nick is such an amazing human being. Love hearing his stories and see what he has going on.
Another awesome interview! Would love to see an interview with Dave Grossman, also Robert Adams.
Is it possible to get Don Shipley and maybe his son also. Idk if he's still active or not.??
Chris Hantz Senior Chief Shipley is retired
Think you guys are great , very educational! Keep keeping on , Semper Fi
Sixth time watching my brother it’s always a learning experience 👌
Hell Yeah. Great podcast Mike!
Imagine being called "The Reaper" by Army Rangers. A name given by Ranger Battalion. Ranger. Battalion. Don't fuck with this guy haha
Feel you.. He tried to shoot my arm for trying to give him a handshake.. Can You IMAGINE??!..
Especially when you earn it lol he killed 33 ppl in 3 months while in the military
Just placed my order for Nick’s first book and just got my order from Mike’s shop today.
Coming to America Hahahah love it! Great podcast Mike🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mike, thank you for cranking out another great podcast. Much respect to Nick for your honesty in the many topic of discussions here and wish you continued success.

Thanks men. These discussions at the level of intellect and humour are exactly “What the world needs now” to coin a phrase. I owned a PMC only contracts DoD loc OIF and OEF.
We’d worked other countries pre 9/11 and racism left the organisation - or probably didn’t exist as we had more important things to do together. With respect
Thus is my favorite interview with "Reaper". Much respect 🙏.
The military has come along way on race relations. But its still has a ways to go. Keep up the good work both of you.
Much respect mike and nick really enjoyed the conversation
I think you should get @Demolitonranch on and since hes a vet put on a bite suit and let the pooches play with him!!
Incredible stuff reaper!! we appreciate you guys man.
