29 Years in Special Operations with Rick Hogg | Mike Drop - Episode 75

[@WarHOGGTactical]

Thanks for having me on the show!

[@bmcantrell619]

thank you for this

[@MikeRitland]

Thank you Rick!

[@taylorroth2258]

Thank you for sharing ☘️

[@pistolgrips]

Thanks for your total honesty. No stock post-service answers. Only yours.

[@pistolgrips]

I don’t want this interview to stop but I wish it would. Mike just keeps on pushing. By mid-interview it would seem he would realize he’s not going to get the answers he’s (expecting and pushing) for. This is not it a slam on Mike. I respect the guy and what he does. Just an observation.

[@joshparnow9044]

You literally have to be in the taliban to dislike a video from two real USA heroes… realistically I want to know why and how you could dislike this? This was an incredible podcast. Every single one of these Mike drop shows are incredible. Keep up the great work. And “choke yourselves” to the haters!

[@maxchristensen4742]

Couldn't have said it any better

[@LabradoodleTofuBoy]

The ones DISLIKED are the ones bitch about everything and not served a single day for this country. They are cowards or some would called them "trolls" lol

[@Mark-uh4zd]

Probably some anti toxic masculinity male feminist that disliked it. Experiences like this usually serve as inspiration to people to help them conquer the tough trials and tribulations going on in their lives.

[@NothingSekret]

Better than Shawn Ryan by far

[@joesmith-vk1nx]

I've been following Mike's channel for years now and he is a great interviewer. He and his guests are Admired, Respected, and Appreciated by many of us fellow Americans.

[@WarHOGGTactical]

Thank you Joe for all your support and enjoy your week!

[@OG03]

Can't wait for this one. I love seeing Rick getting some spotlight. He definitely deserves it.

[@irishcarlcyclone]

Absolutely 🇺🇸👍 🥃

Thank you for all your support and have a great week!

[@martinh6723]

Always looking forward to Mike's podcast for the best and most detailed interviews. Looking forward to seeing Mike interview John "shrek" Mcphee one day.

Shrek. He might be too sensationalized for Ritland. Take that for what you will. - Sr. Chief

These podcasts highlight America’s warriors. This fireplug badass is a humble savage. Noticed audio fading in and out but caught it all. Mike should be on a weekly TV network with these waking our youth up.

I disagree podcast is where the long form is TV would fuck all that shit up.. Shared as much as possible brother that’s what you can do and everybody else like subscribe spread the word

[@jamespaladino2784]

Loved the interview.The new mic’s not so much. Maybe a technical issue but it was a challenge to plug in missed words.

[@jaybee4694]

To my ears it seemed like the mics, Mike’s especially, had an extremely fast response noise gate on them that had its threshold set too high. Kind of a bummer, but the content is still phenom. 👍🏻

[@nickosrallis99]

you poor princess

[@shanec3933]

Mike, great job extracting information during your interviews. Like pulling teeth at times and you keep digging.

[@susansmith4186]

The 80’s were magical. Thanks to you both for your service!! Mike , your show is my favorite. Love the hero’s you have on the show. Watching from Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

[@MartsEntertainment]

This channel is outstanding, I couldn’t get thru my own trauma and PTSD without hearing others talk about how they’ve worked to overcome it themselves every day🔥🔥🔥

[@kennethkeefer9080]

Thank you both for your service

[@pistolgrips]

Out of all the interviews I’ve seen on this channel - Rick Hogg’s experience seems totally opposite most in his shoes. It’s almost like whatever question Mike asks, the answer is opposite of what he expected. Almost like “Stump The Stars”. Am I the only one who sees this? I like the guy. He seems totally honest.

[@WarHOGGTactical]

Thanks John for all your support and have a great week!

[@pistolgrips]

@@WarHOGGTactical You have my deepest respect and wish you continued success with War HOGG Tactical. I’ll be checking your website for any future training courses in or around Central Texas open to the public.

[@U-TubeSurfer45]

I absolutely love the setup of the studio. Kind of like a late-night talk-show Vibe. With Mike sitting at the president's desk LOL

[@WarHOGGTactical]

Mike definitely has a great studio! Enjoy your week

This is historically significant footage. We owe you a debt of gratitude.

The burden of war must be hell. God bless Rick. I cannot express it enough…. God bless Rick.

[@shauntolan7338]

Love and respect Rick. Thank him for his service, but god damn that dude did not want to share a story to save his life. I’m selfishly mad about it, but it’s all good! Love em and appreciate what you do mike. Thanks to you both 💯💪🏻🇺🇸🗣

[@shauntolan7338]

@@WarHOGGTactical yes sir appreciate you. Don’t take what I said in a negative fashion. Just a badass like yourself has stories that are second to none. I get the hesitation to put it all out there. It’s none of our fucking business what you did! Haha but none the less what you did share was awesome. Looking forward to round 2 💪🏻🇺🇸

once again, another solid show holy crap 2:07 two adult males disagreeing and nobody got cancelled thanks for everything to both of you and whom you served with

[@hardtopindown7781]

I agree with Mike, that the 80's were a great decade. Happy to know, it wasn't just me that felt that way. However, my son opined, " if you are telling me you remember 80's you're a liar." 🤣🤣

[@aw8one]

Watched Karate kid last night with the wife and it was the bonfire on the beach scene where they were grilling hot dogs on sticks. It seemed magical an innocent. I said to my wife was it really like that back then. She replied yes it was. Sure seemed like we were at a good happy medium between technology and community. Now I feel technology has pushed in places we have not evolved to live in.

[@johndunbar2393]

Hey Zach, there's sound issues every now and again, in case ya didn't notice it. It fades in and out a bit, here and there. Still a great listen, just wanted to bring it to your attention. 👍🏻

[@raymonddonahue1942]

Gentlemen, Outstanding!!!

[@irishcarlcyclone]

The military and government can take a page of accountability from the fire service. As well as risk a lot save a lot risk little save little. Thank you Rick,Duco, Mike for your service god bless you and yours 👍🇺🇸❤️

Thank you for all your support and remembering Duco! God bless you and your and have a great week!

[@biker1958]

Thank you for your service to our great country sir.

[@Ryanboy2020]

You would think that before you go on a podcast about your career in the military and highlights of those deployments including dog handling, you might spend some time pondering those experiences and come up with a couple of highlights to share. I could tell Mike was trying really hard to pull the info out of him.

[@dipsylogic1715]

I was looking for a comment like this lol. Getting details out of Rick was like pulling teeth. Mike: “Can you give us any details about that?” Rick: “Business as usual” 😂

[@nicholasszewczyk4817]

This has been fairly normal for guys of this stature. Considering the unit that Rick was in. These dudes don’t share a lot of detail. I don’t find this surprising at all.

[@scottzvidzo5564]

There is no channel on youtube where cool conversations happen better than here so far.

[@randysmith1926]

Rick thank you for sharing your an Duco's story an for your an Duco's service to this country. Mike thank you again for introducing us to these incredible heros. 🇺🇸🐾

Thank you Randy for all your support and also thinking of Duco, he was absolutely the gold standard as a military working dog and family member. Have a fantastic week!

[@dragon3allzdeep325]

Hey mike, love the podcast as always. Wasn’t sure if you were aware but there’s a lot of random moments during the episode where the volume levels would drop dramatically briefly. Just figured I’d bring that to your attention.
