Ken Behr is a professional drug smuggler. Grass, snow, smack, dope - he's got it all, or at least he did in the 1970's, back when he was flying product by the gross from Colombia to South Florida on a rickety pondhopper into makeshift runways. Back then Ken had no idea that the war on drugs was about to explode - and that Ronald Reagan's crackdown on trafficking would lead to a swift rise in prices for Ken's private operation. But all that glitters isn't always gold, and after Ken got busted by the DEA, he cut a deal to work two years as an undercover agent to avoid a 55-year prison sentence.  Since then, Ken's wised up in more ways than one - nowadays he's settled down a bit, though he did have a brief spin as an open wheel race car driver, along with having penned a memoir of his travels called 'One Step Over the Line: Confessions of a Marijuana Mercenary.' It's a fascinating dive deep into the world of drug smuggling, judicial manipulation, social engineering, and the longest war in U.S. history - the War on Drugs.  Subscribe to the Mike Drop Patreon Page to see Ad-Free Episodes Early + Bonus Content at https://www.patreon.com/mikedrop  ---------- Support Ken Behr -  Get Your Copy of Ken's Book 'One Step Over the Line: Confessions of a Marijuana Mercenary' at https://onestepovertheline.com Website: https://onestepovertheline.com Website: https://1stepover.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OneStepOverTheLine_KenBehr ---------- TEAM DOG FOOD, TREATS & SUPPLEMENTS Be Your Dog’s Hero: Veteran-owned by a former Navy SEAL and Special Operations K9 Trainer, Team Dog provides a complete diet of science-backed premium dog food, treats, and supplements to optimize your dog’s health, forged from rigorous standards and real-world expertise. https://www.teamdog.shop  TEAM DOG ONLINE TRAINING Mike Ritland – a former Navy SEAL & Special Operations K9 trainer – shares his simple and effective dog training program to build trust and control with your dog. Based on Mike’s bestselling book “Team Dog, Train the Navy SEAL Way”, join tens of thousands of families that successfully trained their way to a better dog.  https://www.teamdog.pet  SHOP ALL THE MIKE RITLAND BRANDS  Get all your Mike Ritland branded gear - Mike Drop | Trikos | Team Dog https://shop.mikeritland.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Josh Smith is a Master Bladesmith that forges custom museum-quality knives using exotic handle materials and precious metals. He's also the President of Montana Knife Company, a shop he founded to focus on building high-quality, well-built custom knives at an affordable price. A fifth-generation son of Montana, Josh started making hunting knives at eleven years old, and would go on to become the youngest Journeyman Smith in the American Bladesmith Society at 15, eventually becoming the youngest Master Smith at 19. It wouldn't be long until a friend would mention Josh's company to podcaster Joe Rogan, and soon after an endorsement on Rogan's podcast would lead to a huge boon in business, with swift connections to the likes of UFC Founder Dana White and even President Donald Trump. Since then, Montana Knife Company has only continued to explode in growth - today, they're building a 55,000 square-foot retail facility with large showroom windows offering an inside view into the manufacturing process, and even a Black Rifle Coffee shop to boot. They're hailed as some of the finest knife makers in the world, and all made proudly right here in the United States. So what's the secret to making some of the world's best blades? Is there any real value to Damascus steel, or any of the other fad blades you see today? And most importantly - when is Montana Knife Company finally going to start offering a folded blade? ---------- Support Josh Smith -  Website: https://www.montanaknifecompany.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/montanaknifecompany YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y69ZnNAX0NY Website: https://www.joshsmithknives.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshsmithknives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshsmithknives ---------- TEAM DOG FOOD, TREATS & SUPPLEMENTS Be Your Dog’s Hero: Veteran-owned by a former Navy SEAL and Special Operations K9 Trainer, Team Dog provides a complete diet of science-backed premium dog food, treats, and supplements to optimize your dog’s health, forged from rigorous standards and real-world expertise. https://www.teamdog.shop  TEAM DOG ONLINE TRAINING Mike Ritland – a former Navy SEAL & Special Operations K9 trainer – shares his simple and effective dog training program to build trust and control with your dog. Based on Mike’s bestselling book “Team Dog, Train the Navy SEAL Way”, join tens of thousands of families that successfully trained their way to a better dog.  https://www.teamdog.pet  SHOP ALL THE MIKE RITLAND BRANDS  Get all your Mike Ritland branded gear - Mike Drop | Trikos | Team Dog https://shop.mikeritland.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Alex Cody Foster is one of the most successful Ghost Writers in the world. Having penned eight #1 Amazon best sellers, he's one of the most sought-after Ghosts in the field - a reputation that would eventually attract the attention of the highly controversial crypto magnate John McAfee. Alex's travels with Team McAfee would go on to inspire his book 'The Man Who Hacked The World: A Ghostwriter's Descent Into Madness with John McAfee', along with inspiring the Netflix documentary 'Running with the Devil' in which Alex himself would also star. Since then, Alex has continued writing, dancing along illicit lines with the story of Owen Hanson in 'The California Kid: From USC Golden Boy to International Drug Kingpin' along with his investigations into serial killers and murder theories. Recently he's taken a keen interest in one criminal conspiracy - the Smiley Face Murders, a serial killer theory alleging that the drowning of 45 men across the United States are actually the collected works of by a shadowy group of murderous individuals. It all makes for a killer conversation - now if only we had the perfect ghost to punch it up. --- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 09:54 - Obsessed with the Craft 19:29 - Waking Up in Different Timezones 28:39 - Growing Up in the Woods on the Cape 37:13 - Nearly Expelled from High School 51:57 - Going Homeless to Hitchhike Across the Country 01:18:51 - A Homeless Documentarian on the Streets of L.A. 01:33:49 - How to Shoot a Documentary With No Money 01:47:31 - Meeting My First Serial Killer 02:02:00 - I Remember When I Lost My Mind 02:26:30 - A Memoir in Maine 02:33:43 - Ghost Writing in Bar Harbor 02:44:08 - Finding the Next James Patterson 02:50:14 - Then I Met John McAfee (Thanks to Jimmy Watson) 03:06:33 - Team McAfee Falls Apart 03:17:59 - The Man Who Predicted John McAfee (& Jeffrey Epstein's) Demise 03:25:21 - On Body Language - Detecting Killers with Predatory Intent 03:35:25 - Stepping into the World of Serial Killers 03:57:33 - Regarding the Smiley Face Killers 04:15:05 - Starting WHSK - We Hunt Serial Killers 04:19:01 - Writing the Owen Hanson Story in 'The California Kid --- Support Alex Cody Foster - Get Your Copy of Alex's Books 'The Man Who Hacked The World' & 'The California Kid' at https://shorturl.at/VP38G We Hunt Serial Killers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whskofficial We Hunt Serial Killers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WHSKOfficial Website: https://www.alexfosterghostwriter.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexfosterghostwriter --- Sponsors: 120Life Go to https://www.120life.com - that’s https://www.120life.com - and remember to use code, “DROP” D-R-O-P to support the show and save 15%! --- BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

Dr. Eugene G. Lipov is a physician researcher and board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in intervention-based pain management in the Chicago area. He is best known for his treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder using the stellate ganglion block - an injection-based technique that "seems to 'reboot' the body's sympathetic nervous system. Simply put, it's a localized injection to the neck that can immediately provide relief for pain relief, circulation, and notably, post-traumatic stress disorder - a one-shot injection that claims to nearly cure PTSD altogether. Having authored over 40 medical publications alongside his upcoming book 'The God Shot: A Breakthrough That Forever Changed Trauma Care' and having treated hundreds of veterans across a number of global military branches, it's safe to say that Dr. Lipov's work is on the very edge of what's possible in relieving PTSD in the veteran community. His work has saved countless lives of countless warriors, even including some of Mike's own circle of former operators. Are we at an inflection point in medicine, where we may soon find a real, genuine solution to post-traumatic stress disorder? Should we be embracing new language to de-stigmatize the term, shifting from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) to PTSI (post-traumatic stress injury)? And most importantly - does SGB truly work as well as Dr. Lipov claims?  ---------- Support Dr. Eugene Lipov -  Get Your Copy of Dr. Lipov's Book 'The God Shot: A Breakthrough That Forever Changed Trauma Care' at https://thegodshotbook.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dreugenelipov Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dreugenelipov Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elipovmd LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugenelipov ---------- Sponsors:  ---------- TEAM DOG FOOD, TREATS & SUPPLEMENTS Be Your Dog’s Hero: Veteran-owned by a former Navy SEAL and Special Operations K9 Trainer, Team Dog provides a complete diet of science-backed premium dog food, treats, and supplements to optimize your dog’s health, forged from rigorous standards and real-world expertise. https://www.teamdog.shop  TEAM DOG ONLINE TRAINING Mike Ritland – a former Navy SEAL & Special Operations K9 trainer – shares his simple and effective dog training program to build trust and control with your dog. Based on Mike’s bestselling book “Team Dog, Train the Navy SEAL Way”, join tens of thousands of families that successfully trained their way to a better dog.  https://www.teamdog.pet  SHOP ALL THE MIKE RITLAND BRANDS  Get all your Mike Ritland branded gear - Mike Drop | Trikos | Team Dog https://shop.mikeritland.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

John A. Dailey is a USMC MARSOC Instructor that's trained hundreds of Marine Raiders across his over 20 years in the military. An early Force Reconnaissance Sniper, John witnessed the 9/11 attacks from a pub in Australia before getting shipped out to Afghanistan to help kick off the War on Terror. Later, he'd serve alongside his fellow 'tough rugged bastards' as a team leader at Detachment-1 in 2004, hunting insurgents, bomb-makers, and other HVT's in what would lead to the formation of the Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC). in 2008 he retired, taking a job that has him still training Raiders while penning his memoir 'Tough Rugged Bastards: A Memoir of a Life in Marine Special Operations'. So what did the Raiders originally look like back when John joined Detachment-1? How has MARSOC changed since then, and what's really the difference between Marine Raiders and SEAL Teams? And as the titular tough rugged bastard, do you have to be hard-wired to be a hard man, or can you learn to be truly tough?

Ryan Hendrickson is a 13-Year Green Beret, Author, and Landmine Recovery Expert. While serving as an 18C in 2010 on his first deployment as a Green Beret, he suffered an IED blast that should have killed him - a devastating injury that would have cost him his leg, if not for the Army's new THOR 3 program and a newfound appreciation for medical limb salvage. To the surprise of nearly all parties involved, Ryan returned to the battlefield a mere 18 months later, where he continued to serve for 12 more years at the Tip of the Spear. Later, he'd pen a memoir of his personal struggles from his deployment journals called ''Tip of the Spear: The Incredible Story of an Injured Green Beret's Return to Battle' along with pivoting into military contracting, but he felt a new calling when the Russia/Ukraine engagement began to swell in 2022. He headed into the chaos, performing his unique specialty - the deadly art of landmine removal - where he continues to work today. One thing's for sure - with Ryan's newfound appreciation on life (and surprise in-studio guests like Scott Huesing in tow), anything's possible.  Subscribe to the Mike Drop Patreon Page to see Ad-Free Episodes Early + Bonus Content at https://www.patreon.com/mikedrop  ---------- Sponsors:  Public Rec Save up to 20% OFF when you use code MIKEDROP at checkout at https://www.publicrec.com!

From the Navy SEALs, to Delta Force, Marines, and the French Foreign Legion—this Veteran's Day, we're honoring all America’s warriors with five unforgettable stories from former Mike Drop guests. Every November 11th, America celebrates its service men and women, reflecting on the heroism of those who have selflessly served our great nation. For some this is a day of gratitude, and for others, a day of regret. Each veteran featured has a unique journey, from moments of courage and sacrifice to powerful experiences that helped shape them into the men they are today. USMC Veteran Ryan Rogers reflects on the times he was made to be a man of his word in Afghanistan, while Delta Force operator Tom Satterly recounts the intense Battle of Mogadishu—more commonly known as Black Hawk Down. Navy SEAL and French Foreign Legionnaire Taylor Cavanaugh opens up about his battle with addiction and redemption in France; Navy SEAL Zack Ferguson speaks on family, duty, and devastation; and the Sheriff of Baghdad, John 'Shrek' McPhee, shares remarkable solo missions, including his role in bringing down Saddam Hussein’s sons.  It’s been an honor sharing the stage with such remarkable men and having the opportunity to share their stories with our listeners. A sincere and heartfelt thank you to those who have served, and the family and citizens that support their efforts. Happy Veteran’s Day.

How confident are we in our election integrity? Do we believe that our votes are counted fairly - and that the people we're electing to office are truly there to represent us? And between the political lobbying, allocated tax dollars, social media shadowbanning, and widespread fears of national voter fraud, how does anybody maintain any real confidence in the system? One thing's for sure - with a big country comes big problems, and big solutions aren't always easy to come by.  That's why Mike's sitting down with two friends of the show - Clint Emerson, ret. SEAL Team 6 and the author of '100 Deadly Skills', and Clark Impastato, ret. SEAL Team 5 and a former Phoenix Police Officer - to talk about the state of the union, U.S. election integrity, potential long-term solutions, and how things may end up going after November 5th, 2024.

Johnny MF Glenn is a former Green Beret with over a dozen combat deployments - more than 21 years of back-to-back, nonstop, kinetic action in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and parts unknown. He's seen gunfights, IED's, combat dressings, and human shields - he's been blown up five times, shot once, and had two cracks in his frontal lobe, all over the course of a career that's dotted with wild tales of 'organized' chaos that only a veteran operator could know. But for Johnny, organized chaos isn't just a way of life - it's a mantra; a fundamental belief that when good people do good things, good things happen regardless of the circumstances. So how's a farm kid in southwest Georgia go on to become a Green Beret? What keeps someone coming back, deployment after deployment, returning to the combat zone? And when you've served as long as Johnny has, what does the cost of human life really mean?

Austin Hancock is a former United States Marine who served in the Iraq War, deploying to Iraq and North Africa after 2005. After serving he started a family, pivoting into the real estate investing business with a startup firm that would go on to host a multi-million dollar portfolio. Since then, he's stepped into coaching, speaking around the country to inspire others to seize the day and work towards achieving their own far-reaching goals. But there's more to Austin's successful lifestyle than meets the eye - two felonies at seventeen, multiple V.I.P. operations in Iraq, and chasing the American dream by hard-launching your own business isn't for the faint of heart. So how'd Austin end up getting into the Marine Corps with a pending trial, anyway? What's the secret to finding your own success as a struggling veteran newly home from deployment, and then guiding others to find the same? And when it comes down to it, is Austin Hancock really a bad guy, or is he a good guy who's just made stupid mistakes? Let's meet Austin.

Just take it from Andrew Bustamante - a former covert officer that spent seven years at The Agency, Andrew was recruited while applying to join the Peace Corps after leaving the U.S. Air Force as a combat veteran. During his tenure at the CIA, he developed a range of valuable skills, growing to master the line between truth and falsehood while also meeting his wife at the Agency, where they quickly grew to learn that the CIA was no place for families. Today, he owns and operates his own company, Everyday Spy, where he trains everybody from casual interests to Fortune 500 CEO's in the very techniques he learned as a covert operator.  But leaving a life that is, to most people, a lie isn't easy. So where does the line exist between truth and fiction? Does the CIA ever cross that line, and when they do, is it purely in the interest of all American citizens? And if Andrew's skills at the CIA helped him to accomplish every goal he's ever set out to achieve, then what possibilities can those same skills unlock in the rest of us?

He's an Iditarod racer, having received the Red Lantern Award after racing with his own dogs along the wildly difficult long-distance annual sled dog race traveling 938 miles from Anchorage to Nome. He's also a former SEAL, having served 9 years with SEAL Team 4 with two kinetic deployments in Afghanistan.  But Jeff wasn't always a dog guy - he never even owned one growing up, in fact. It wasn't until his platoon met a stray dog named Frank on his second deployment in Afghanistan that things really started to change. So how's a Pennsylvania native end up deploying to Afghanistan, serving at the Tip of the Spear, retiring to Alaska, and competing in one of the coldest, most difficult races in the country?
