Former Secret Service Agent Evy Poumpouras Part One

The United States Secret Service is one of our nation's most important federal agencies. Serving under the Department of Homeland Security, Secret Service Agents are charged with conducting criminal investigations, protecting U.S. political leaders and their families, and ensuring the safety of visiting heads of state, no matter the cost. Just take it from Evy Poumpouras - she's a former NYPD Officer turned Secret Service Agent with over a dozen years of experience, having served under the protection detail of Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.
And while the Agency may have 'Secret' in the name, there's plenty of questions worth asking. What's training look like when you have to protect some of the world's most important assets? How is the Agency - and the Oval Office - equipped to handle whatever may come? And most importantly - when you're protecting an Enemy of the State, just how far will you go to keep them safe?

Nothing but admiration for Evy. The world would be a much better place if we had many more people like her.

[@bigcahoona7931]

She was very humble and above all, competent. Great views by her, hats off with respect.

[@justinchamberlain3443]

Humble? What are talking about

[@bluewave2024]

Best military podcast in the game!

[@Mr-American556]

This one if very good but Shawn Ryan has an amazing channel….

[@chemicalcourage]

​@@Mr-American556 yeah i like the documentary feel to this guys podcast however I think Shawn Ryan is probably the best podcast owner we could have ask questions to these people to get us the answers were looking for

[@hardcorehobbies3809]

Articulate would be the understatement of the millennium! Poetic,intriguing passing this to my daughter… Huge Respect and Appreciation.

[@ClintonCaraway]

How anyone can go from childhood, thru adulthood to the point of retirement and never have a dogs is so sad. I can't even imagine that because dog's have brought me so much joy, comfort and piece throughout my life. I hope she gets to experience the bond of a dog and it's "person" sometime in her life.

[@kelliesuggs93]

I agree. It’s hard to imagine but I’m also glad she didn’t get a dog while not having the time to properly care and connect with the dog. Too many people get them and don’t have time for them..they end up being lonely and neglected. It seems she is at a place in her life where she has the time! So I too hope she can experience the bond!

[@whiplash3kilo756]

Had she had a dog, she wouldn't have made it to the levels she did.

[@whiplash3kilo756]

JRE is garbage. Drama and shit. Not even close to the same level as Mike is.

[@SebastianLewisDove]

@@whiplash3kilo756 damn whiplash, I somewhat agree, though it would be good for his platform. It would elevate The Mike Drop Podcast. And I know for a fact it would be extremely funny because Mike isn't full of shit like 90% of JRE guests.

[@b4llzy]

Mike would be a great guest I think.. to tell his story of life and a well documented military career and let’s not forget the dogs.. would be amazing imo. I said JRE needs Mike not the other way around

[@scottzvidzo5564]

As usual exceptional work MikeDrop and again as usual , great guest.

[@dottyboos]

I was not sure I’d like this one. But I did. Evy is a bright woman. I’m impressed

[@TheBvirgilio86]

Oh cool. Evy is always a great interview. Can't wait.

[@antoniogravina723]

Great interview. Looking forward to part 2

[@keepingupwiththeJoneses77]

Great interview.. I Think Evy stayed at my hotel at BWI airport area when she was training in Beltsville MD shooting training. Evy looks like one of the beautiful ladys stayed at the hotel I was brought in from corp, for the best service for them while they were staying with us for training. Thank you for your service both of you! Have a blessed day! GREAT INTERVIEW

[@matthewdavis9477]

I have total respect for the life that lead u up to where u r today Evy! U r my inspiration. Ur book, Becoming Bulletproof, is a life manual that everyone should read! 🖤

[@hair4alluk]

Thanks Angent Avy and Mr Ritland - another podcast I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks.

[@Jayyyy5911]

We need that part 2 asap big mike shes dope as hell

[@Chertoff88]

Describes the Websters dictionary definition of manipulation perfectly and then says its not manipulation. Sure she doesn't work for the FBI?

[@eriklarson9137]

While it was funny, that opening is all I plan to watch. that was embarrassing.

[@hiramhaji7813]

It’s to make you feel good about being lied to so they can get the information they want, it’s called volunteer

[@Chertoff88]

Honestly the entire interview was fascinating and great. Not a good opening

[@UnderbeIIy]

The interview was all over the place. What a complete mess. Without context this could have easily been an improv sketch 😂

[@whiplash3kilo756]

I'm just tired of hearing the company line over and over again. But this wasn't like that. She's ok, she did her job, didn't act like a typical quota hire, DB likes her too, as for the rest of the clowns out there continuing to lie about operations and write books and protect a child predator in our White House who commits treason every fucking day now, 🖕🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@rebeccagriswold282]

Whoa! She was spectacular! Very interesting topics, very articulate and well spoken. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@wildbill60]

Great show and guest got to give her kudos for staying tight lip on certain qustions

[@claytonjohn6473]

Nobody ever answers if there was time travel they would go to the day they died so they make sure they are prepared to meet thier maker.

Yeah true, then you could save money waiting to start paying for life insurance at the beginning of your last respective month, not to mention all the other things which are much more important than just your financial situation

Good Episode.. Evy’s a Beast!

[@justinmckellar313]

Her tone & Badassery already reminds me of Mariana van Zeller from Nat Geo. Part 1 is just as sweet, nicely done Mike Drop 🇺🇸

[@Pok3rface]

According to Gemini: Estimates for the weight of "The Beast" range from 14,000 to 20,000 pounds (6,400 to 9,100 kg). This is because the car's armor and other security features make it significantly heavier than a standard car. The exact weight is classified information.

[@TOMMYBENICE66]

thanxx

[@aeromtb2468]

yes making my way back to Ritland.

Mike, you should check out Mike Rutledge and think about getting him on Mike Drop, he was a Seal turned 160th pilot, really cool story

Great interview🍻 As former Federal LE with 5 1/2+ years as Long Term;deep) Undercover, I am well schooled in both interrogation methods along with interviewing techniques, as both interrogator/interviewer or interrogatee/interviewee. Tha said, Eva is also well schooled as she took a skill/trait that most people would love to possess, ie., "I take too much on to my shoulders instead of delegating because by the time I teach someone to do the task, I could do it and do it better," 😂😂 That's in the same group as someone who lists a weakness or something that they could improve on is if they say that they're sometimes too intense, and don't know when to turn it down. Well, as an employer, I would love to have an employee with either Eve's "weakness" or the one listed above, lol. Regardless, I have a few Buds that were in the Service and Eve's the Real Deal and legit Bad Ass!! Continued Success Brotha👊 RP

[@liamfun1000]

Feds suck government thugs

[@GRUFF..]

There is literally tv shows about the car and they explain everything that is on it and the motor

[@reanukeevesau]

Yeah but being security clearance cleared makes a difference when it comes to answering questions on the record. Had a Top Secret Positive Vetting for my job in my country Army that was over a decade ago and if I talk about specifics I know are classified on record I can be charged civilian and my Military Justice Code even though I'm discharged and for 50 years after my last clearance date.

​@@telmesomethinidk why not?

[@jordanhernandez2439]

I think the music group she’s talking about is BMF ( black mafia family) I could be wrong

[@DirtMcGirk]

Not taking anything away from anything she’s done in her career, but based on body language and some of her answers to Mike’s questions, it seems like she’s BS’ing or embellishing a bit, to put it kindly.

[@reanukeevesau]

Why?

[@GRUFF..]

The motor and the beast is a Duramax diesel. Not all of everything that he asked is classified

[@ModifiedTaco]

Where did you get that? I’d like to know.

Get jake Zweig on a show.

[@josephsclafani3388]

Mike love the show. Very inaccurate answers in regards to the currency and federal reserve. U.S. treasury department, bureau of engraving and printing, make and design all the security features for U.S. currency. You do not go to the Federal Reserve in DC to see the money being made because we don’t make it. And the DC Federal Reserve building is called the Board of Governors .

[@GRUFF..]

It's not classified. It's about 20,000 lb

[@aeromtb2468]

send kap to NYPD training

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

The beast has a deleted duramax in it. Look into Korey Willis. The beast was brought to him for delete tuning for a horsepower bump. Now he’s millions into fines for having delete tuning. I guess it’s only OK for some people.

I don’t believe that at all.

Yes. And it's like they re-upload ed to try and get people watch it more. Sorry no offense but a lot of military special forces people are very cliqish clannish and exclusionary ...

[@eriklarson9137]

I thought she was on here already, but can't find any evidence. And I do not want to believe that Mike would do something so silly to destroy his rep. Got any proof she was on before?

[@hirumbiffidum9145]

[@BillySpain888]

So many people claim to grow up poor but go to private school lol .f you were really poor your parents wouldnt be sending TWO kids to private school. And her dad was a captain in the greek navy yet she just happened to find a internship in politics that she could afford to do for free😂 and then "saw a cop with a beer belly" and called and took the training the next week😅 she knows the truth is stranger then fiction but shes lying about alot of her story. One thing a person wants after becoming successfu that they cant buyl is a story where they started from the bottom..people feel like there accomplishments dont hold as much value when there path was carved for them so they often lie. Regardless why...she is def lying about some stuff.
