Mr. Ritland can you please consider bringing a SWCC operator on your show. No one really talks about them and I really would appreciate you having someone that sheds light on such a secret community.

[@MikeRitland]

Is there one you recommend?

Another Mint Mikedrop podcast. Thanks Kyle and Mike.

[@Zx10mezz]

Another banger!! Really enjoyed Kyle on 👍🏼 His Sunday no phone idea seems something we can all use in todays world! Awesome stuff.

[@ryanflyhigh36]

I’ve throughly enjoyed listening to your podcast and your interviews on others. Always interested in listening to different views on all subjects. Always look forward to your prospective and then challenging my own thoughts and belief. Great stuff, as always…

Love the frequency Mike drop is coming out now 🙏👍🏻 best podcast

Great conversation! Always enjoy your interviews a d the good questions you ask!

[@dakota5805]

Awesome interview, good job Mike!

[@tinaabbott4815]

I loved this interview! I’m a writer who has kind of played with writing through a blog, and on social media. This year I started to really pursue my dream, and lay the groundwork for a work of fiction. As a person who tends to be plagued by practicality, it feels highly impractical to pursue a dream that has no real monetary guarantee. I also feel the weight of expectation from the people who know me, that this book would be something that it isn’t, and I’m coming to a place where I’m finally ok with potentially disappointing them. I need to live outside of the box. I loved and appreciated the insight here!

[@billb81]

I love the depth of the guests . It’s great to hear the different points of view . Not boring at all if you listen to the Captain’s point of view As a journey through life

[@debwade9327]

I knew this one was going to be priceless! As always, NOT disappointed. Thanks!

HOLY SHIT!! I didn’t know I NEEDED this particular podcast!! Between the “God-No God-There is something” conversation… or the battle with revolving substances, and just wanting to be better… FUUUHK!! Shame on me, I didn’t know who The Captain was… I just like Mike’s show enough to watch people I don’t know. And this one hit home, in MANY ways! Edit* 1:28:50 just WOW!

Convo of mature intelligent men with insightful thoughtful views on religion and the world. Not every episode has to be bang bang shoot em up. I know which topic gets more ears. Do it your way Mike.

[@kelvinharvey2016]

oh ya I'm a new viewer , just started watching Mike Drop

[@KIMBERLY-er9yk]

These interviews inspired me to write my first fiction novel and publish it on Amazon 2021. I got my story line idea from someone you interviewed once. (no I didn't plagiarize or steal). I was just so impressed with your guest. I just now ordered The War of Art book due to this interview to help with writing. Thanks for all the variety in your interviews.

[@blakedavis50]

Came for war stories, listened to a writer and intellectual and fucking loved it.

It’s still in the collection, just mixing it up a bit

[@sandraa.lelacheur3001]

Mike, I truly enjoyed your podcast.

[@jakes4153]

Way to go, Mike! Well done. I’d also argue to say that Kyle is probably a podcast “maker” naturally. I mean. I think he could give a good talk to anyone. But you still shine brother. Choke yourself.

[@gregp558]

Great guest Mike, but early 80’s rock is the best 🤘🤘🤘

[@timothy7248]

Like the Atlantis reference. Wish this concept would be more fully embraced. In the meantime, focus on what you can and enjoy the journey 😉

[@badxradxandy]

2:00:00 they know this, that's why it doesn't get taught or promoted in a meaningful positive way

[@brians9315]

Mike have you though about having the sheriff of Baghdad on? Delta operator.

[@erictheboringone5292]

Ive been on suboxone for 4 years now and I can tell you that it’s a much stronger that most every opiate or opioid but it doesn’t have the component that causes the euphoric feeling. It’s 3 times stronger than morphine milligram to milligram. If you’re someone that’s somewhat opiate/opioid naive then it will give you a decent high if taken infrequently but when taken on a daily basis as prescribed the high goes away within about 2 weeks and you get to feeling normal which is a great thing if you have had a real hardcore opiate addiction for 20 years like I did. Suboxone gave me my life back.

[@erictheboringone5292]

I don’t use social media at all and haven’t since about 2016. Don’t miss it.

We are all energy/consciousness and are an extension of the creator. We increase in vibration as we progress through time space through densities that are numbered 1 through 7 and all represent octaves in sound as well as colors of chakra. We currently sit early 4th density as we just started seeing the dawn of aquarius.

[@austinisfullpleasedontmove653]

Hey Mike! Have you ever heard of the Law of One aka the Ra Material? It is mind blowing. Look into Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert, and Jim McCarty. They brought us this information back in the early 80's and it all makes sense and answers many many questions of who, what, when, and why. Love the podcast! If you ever make it to Austin with either one of your bikes let me know I just got a new Speed Twin. Let's ride!

You guys talked about social media alot in this one. This is the best Analogy iv come up with for social media. Ya know when you're hungry and kinda bored....but there is nothing in the fridge, but you keep checking it like there is going to be something new in there...and surprise its the same shit as before. knowing you need to go to the store it's going to be the same shit again and again... get out of the house and go to the fucking store!

Whatever you're going through I am sorry If any of my shittiness made it worse.

[@smjhobbies4527]

Following a long in someone else's footsteps, kind of like your father or whatever if he was in the military and you don't follow his footsteps, I think that's wrong I absolutely think you should follow footsteps especially when they are your parents. If we live by the way you think it should be there would be way less people in the military did you ever think of that? So before you answer your question think about the long-term because that's going to kill our military if life happens to turn out that way

[@kelvinharvey2016]

I can relate to the religion theory they're talking about . My family as a young boy was Baptist , Southern Baptist . My Grandparents had their own Church . And as a teenager total flip , still believed in God but thought religion was shit . It was all about making money, just a real turn off and not what religion should have been . Just my opinion .

[@schillinganthony]

In order for there to be nothing.. There must be something.. Our existence is literally the opposite of nothing... That's it.. Black and White

[@Eliezer1018]

Without a doubt There is a creator, and deep down we all know it regardless of if we believe it or not. In Judaism we know without a doubt that G-d is the creator. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Also the Messiah Yeshua which you probably referred to as Jesus. The Torah is the only truth. Scripture must interpret scripture. God is the same God the truth is the same truth. I would submit that if you read scripture in its historical context you would understand the Jesus only came to bring us back to Torah not to abolish. Baruch HaShem!

Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Repent. This is one's only hope ever: See Romans 10:9-13 and 1 Cor.15:3,4 and Psalm 22:16 & Isaiah chpt.53 (even in the Jewish bible). After salvation see Matt.10:28 and Mark 12:30,31 auth.kjv bible only.

@@MikeRitland no the constructive criticism is like this and if I'm wrong I'm sorry I might be wrong at what constructive criticism is. Here we go. You do great work, everything the production, the editing, everything is awesome, but if I were you I wouldn't go down the religious road with many people as deep as you went into it here. As I think you would do a little better without the religious stuff, that's just my opinion I don't know if that was constructive criticism or not but I tried
