Finally someone interviews Cole! He's a straight bad ass

Feel like Cole’s personality type is the perfect way to measure how good an interviewer is. He appears to be a quiet, humble, run of the mill dude till you realize he has stories from years of operating at a world class, tier 1 level. Great job mike and grateful for you opening up Cole - you’re a good dude.

Cole, thank you for your service. Be sure to smile and laugh often, it's very therapeutic. Wishing you nothing but happiness and peace!!

Mike, you really are one of my most favorite podcast hosts. I love how prepared you are with your questions, especially the fact you give these veterans a chance for us as a listener to know them outside of what they did for our country. One thing I hear most from veterans, especially a former Seal, is they want to be known for who they are, not just what they did in their former job. So, my hats off to you for another wonderful podcast. Cole was awesome to listen to. His life stories, from his childhood, to his time in service, to how his job affected his home life, to his kids, to his now happily ever after with his wife, kids and awesome post-military career, makes me feel proud of him and I've never met the guy. I had to listen to this podcast twice because I didn't want to miss anything Cole had to say. He seems like he'd be fun as shit to hang out and have beers with and listen to anything he has to say. All around good dude. Thanks for having one of the best podcasts out there. Thank you and Cole for your service to our country. God Bless you both in all that you do in this life.

Thank you ma’am!

There’s SO much sacrifices made by these warriors. This man is one of a kind. I can’t thank him enough for sharing his life experiences. So many parts of this brought real sadness . The thought of your three year old boy, the sensitive areas talking about RED wings. The flowers to the wives. Just intensely personal moments. The Deisal story and the dogs being harnessed for jumping out of planes. Interesting all of it. The going to court story is just reprehensible. Love these stories. Thank you for your service.

I wonder if people understand how lucky we are to be able to listen to an operator who started off using iron sights and graduated to red dots etc. The amount of knowledge is just unreal. And to be able to listen to it and learn. We are beyond lucky to have access to this amount of knowledge.

This is what the internet needed. I have been searching for long form conversations with Cole. Thank y'all both for doing this.

He's got the Sean Ryan show vibe to it on this video lol I'm loving it, Your killing it mike!

Truly grateful for the absolute warriors like this. Mike, thanks for finally interviewing Cole. It was a great episode, and it hits the right places. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I give Cole a lot of credit for doing what he did God Bless him and the teams . Thank you to all are VETERANS 🇺🇸🇺🇸✈️

Great Interview, Ive been curious about Cole's story since GBRS has come around and DJ did Shawn's show. Good work on this one Mike. Getting Cole to answer questions with more than a yes or no seemed to be a challenge. He was obviously a bit uncomfortable talking about stuff he hasnt been able to publicly talk about for close to 20 yrs. You asked questions the right way and worked hard to get him at ease and to open up a little....

THANKS MIKE! The one I have been waiting for! What a perfect time to release it!

Brilliant interview Mike and Cole was truly one of my favourite interviews. All around so greatly appreciated.
