Breaching Bottles with Eli Crane | Mike Drop: Episode 71

The discipline required to be an effective sniper is similar to the discipline required to be a successful entrepreneur. I sat down with former Navy SEAL sniper and Bottle Breacher CEO Eli Crane to discuss his time in the teams, going on the show “Shark Tank”, and the transition into being a businessman after his career.

Mike just want to say I have a Doberman he’s considered an albino and every brand of food I’ve ever got him has made him itch or he had no energy to run with me but after I tried your dog food man I’ve seen a complete turn around in my dog he has his life back and I have my running buddy back thanks bro
Awesome 🤩
I subscribe to Pet.Com and have been excited to begin training my pit bull to have some manners. Sadly, my little guy is allergic to everything and I have him on HYDROLIZED PROTEIN from Royal Canine. Is Mikes food hypoallergenic?
That’s great man. 👊

I’m so glad Mike you only do in person interviews. The ones that have gone to zoom or over the phone are miserable to watch. The quality is top notch please keep it that way
I'd assume covid has something to do with the zoom interviews. I could be wrong, but who knows.
Combat Story with Ryan Fugit is pretty well done
My top Podcasts to listen to: -Mike Ritland -Cleared Hot Podcast (Andy Stumpf) -Vigilance Elite (Shawn Ryan) -Never Quit Podcast (Marcus Luttrell, Morgan Luttrell) -Jocko Podcast (Jocko Willink, Echo Charles)
My day isn't normal if I don't hear at least one even if I've heard it before
And those are only the Seals
fieldcraft survival isnt bad either
@@Anmeldn I didn’t realize Mike had a podcast.
@@houdinee3469 its refreshing, he talks to army guy not just seals, and mike is a tactician with military lingo, so if you want to soldiers talk like when they are among themselves then its perfect.
This dude is rocking 4 American flags in a 2 foot radius. LOVE IT!! 🇺🇲💥🤙🏼
This Podcast is the best military oriented show to listen too. Always has great guests, amazing questions & memorable stories! Appreciate all you did for our country & now are doing for us listeners! 🇺🇸👍🙏
Vigilance Elite is pretty good too, probably a little more in-depth for most their podcasts.
Excellent, as always. Thanks Mike and Eli. I live in Phx, and it’s refreshing to hear that you and your family are considering a run for office to help straighten out some of our internal problems.
This podcast should have a million subs. Great fuckin show
Total respect Guys.... Thank You both for being crazy enough to walk the walk... Thanks to you and your families for the sacrifices to protect and serve this nation
Great interview, love the show, let us know how we can support Eli if he runs, need more like him willing to step up
Just stumbled along this Podcast and realized I know this gentleman's father. Worked with him at a Gun store/Pharmacy here in AZ, you read that right, years ago. I remember this individual pushing his son's bottle breacher product at my gun counter.
Thank you Mike and Eli the end conversation was spot on as well !
Always ready for a new Mike drop podcast love ya Mike keep crushing out vids rah sir
Great show, as always Mr. Mike! 🎙🇺🇲 Much respect to Mr. Eli. 🇺🇲🐸🔱
Thanks for another excellent interview Mike. Keep up the good work.
My dad also got me a 10/22 as a first gun, did competitions and everything with that thing when I was in middle school. Great little gun
Nice interview! Thank you for service Eli!
another excellent interview and guest, looking forward to more'
Took me all week to get to this podcast because I was grinding sales out....great show Mike! Eli run for Congress and wish you nothing but the best!
Great episode again Mike! I know that 160th SOAR pilot / ex SEAL episode is going to be bomb💣 keep up the good work💪🏻
Yet another fantastic interview. Keep up the good work Mike.
Thanks for running to represent AZ, Eli! I’ll be voting for you. Love your story. Mike, keep crushing and keep them coming. My mom even listens to you.
Mm9 9
This is the best podcast out. Other great guys out there but I like the steady interview videos
Keep striving Eli! Thanks for doing what you do!
Excellent show Mike. Loved it
Great show, lot of subjects that give me the warm and fuzzy.. Did your obligatory mention of the dogs, touched heavy on entrepreneurial spirit and the charicture it takes to make it in business.. #GoodStuff!
Bro what an amazing guest ….and u sir are such an articulate host. U do an excellent job bro. Ur a legend.
Great podcasts Mike and guests!
Maj. Gilbert lived just down the street from me. We were both stationed at Luke AFB at the time. I still remember seeing the base commanders car at their house. What a small world.
Respect Eli. Thank you as always Mike
Please keep these interviews coming Mike!
Damnit I’m late I gotta go to start from the beginning 😔 but also so happy Mike put out new content 🙂
Great job Mike enjoyed it Rock on
Mike! Mike! Mike! Looking forward to this podcast! You’re always great!
Great episode as usual 👍🏻 Thank you 👋
Finally finally! Was wondering when this guy would come. The universe is listening!!
I have never even heard of this cat. Cool listen though. He seems so calm and laid back.
Great episode like always
Great stuff as always.
Love the podcast. I really liked the business side of this one
I had never heard of his company Bottle Breacher before but I checked it out after listening to this and he does have some pretty cool items for sale. I’m definitely gonna start buying them for random gifts throughout the year. Legit.
Great interview, Mike. Eli is someone I've learned a lot from on variety of perspectives. P.S. and my fav Ritlanisms were off the charts, as always. Those are classic.
Like when he said “what do I gotta do bang your daughter to get off this ship” 😝😝😝😝
Amazing show gents! Thanks Mr. Mike!
Solid, thank you.
Love the studio
Great interview! I hope Eli decides to run for congress. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for your service to our country sir !!🇺🇸🙏😎
Our “elected” “officials”. It pains me to say anything that could possibly be interpreted as something meant to be positive about these people. Great show guys. Thanks for sharing
Mike, love the show! You must get Mr. Ballen on the podcast, check him out on KZhead! Fascinating former SEAL.
Would be cool!
Mr Ballen is an inspiration as he got out of the service. Then grew and nurtured a loyal following outside of the SOF, tactical, security space of Social Media. That you commonly see vets engaged in!
Another awesome podcast
Let's Get It!
Crane for Congress!
Great talk, gents!
Outstanding podcast
"These are the things that have to happen, and when they don't happen, these are my contingency plans." Perfect!!!
I love listening to these guys
Love this episode! 😀
Love the podcast Mike, can't wait to see you have Tu Lam on the podcast.
That would be awesome. Does Tu Lam do many podcasts? He seems to stay pretty busy
Tu lam is a gigantic liar and contradicted himself multiple times in the Shawn ryan show interview. Mainly lying about the racism he encountered he lied about small things saying they didn’t have a car to the. Telling a story where his mother was driving him as a child….the guy was all over the place.
Another great show and guest
Time stamps =🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥
I got one of his bottle openers when I saw him on shark tank!
My first gun was a 12ga Winchester pump, 1969. I was weeks away from age 12. I was plenty tall enough to shoot and hunt with it.
This was awesome
Love the intro riff. Keep it heavy.
Great 👍 video as always SIR AND THE Guest👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Is that the Waterloo Police Griffin on the bottom row of your thrown down coin shelf?! Way cool!!!
Nick Swardson’s badass doppelgänger.. great interview.💯🗡🇺🇸
Thank you
2 great Americans! Thanks fellas
Like that Gator/Croc Patter Kydex. Might need that for My BK-29
Mike, excellent, podcast, it is so very important, that you ask the right and informative questions, your guests are high quality folks and very interesting, I am very happy that Eli will run for office, we need a whole group of new politicians, we need this level of men in office. Excellent shows, just started to watch. But, all texas boys are spot on, best regards
Ish Villegas is awesome individual and would be an awesome guest on the show. But this is now my favorite podcast online. Great work Mike!
I was stationed at MCAS Yuma from 2004 to 2007...I taught at MAWTS-1 for WTI and Desert Talon...Best unit I was ever with! I loved it and didnt want to leave. The Buttercup Dunes, Glamis, Mittry Lake, Martinez lake, Shit river, Colorado, "the Pit". Black Mtn, Kofa Mtn.. Going to Algodones for lunch, Taco's and a Blowjob at the Green Door! great times. Then all the Marine Corps stuff out at Yodaville, Slab city, Nyland, YPG, Little Baghdad, etc....YUMA BMX too!
Thank you so much for only doing in person interviews. I just struggled through a zoom interview with 2 of the most interesting men in the world and had to bail before the end. And I probably will never watch tht KZhead channel again and they do in person interviews sometime.
Who?
I tried posting a link but KZhead wouldn't let me. Channel: The Team House Episode: Vagabonds Posted just recently
@@lpe655 Oh yea. I watch their channel sometimes and the audio/zoom is awful. Makes their interviews really hard to watch. They could have an amazing channel too with the guests they’ve had on. I just wish the audio and visual was better.
@@BostonsF1nest plus Dave can't put a sentence together. He should let Jack do all the speaking. I feel bad bc I think Dave may have CTE.
@@lpe655 Yea I agree. I’d like to see Jack on Mikes podcast at some point. He has a really interesting story.
Mike you are the Best I look forward to every podcast Thank You NannyDeb
Humble guy!
this guy's a hoot. how cool, he ripps off a poor guys idea in the P.I. and now he's a hero... nice roll model!!!
Haha Iowa. Currently there near Bellevue NE. Also grew up in Alaska.
Mike you do a good job
I ❤️ ur casts. The people are cool under 🔥.
Where have you been Mike?, welcome back.
This one was awesome bri . Sig is doing what Colt never did . Colt was hell bent on the M4 and Uncle Sam contracts . They never did R&D . Sig has done nothing but R&D. That's why they have almost a billion in DOD contracts
Great interview. Was curious when talking about the canines he mentioned NSW dog named Cairo. You (Mike) said his handler was Loyd. Different dog than OBL raid dog with handler Will Chesney? just curious
Hooyah... imagine going through what he did, and then going back through buds, another time, facing that Fury again, let alone the deployments later. And this is what makes SEAL training hard. They are not going to give it to you ever. Not ever. You are going to learn it and earn it, or you are gone. You would not want the weak beside you in combat. Bravo, job well done. This trident earned through a lot of Blood Sweat and determination
👍🏻 GOOD STUFF ! Thank#.
Eli Love the Flag tattoo! You & Clint Emerson have the Best American Flag Tatts I've ever seen! I'm Not even a tattoo person!
Riding bikes until the streets light came on, and the whistle from my pops could be heard from a mile away.
I can't wait to spend money with Eli's company! 🤙
Shout out to George for bringing Grande Richard energy to Iowa.
Mike Ritland GREAT FUCKING QUESTIONS!!!! YOU'RE A GENIUS. YOU KNOW HOW TO INTERVIEW FOR SURE
Mike, what type of watch do you wear?
Good watch.
Take a sip every time Eli says "you know" 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺
Mike your awesome!
God damn your good Mike
Joe’s Crab Shack needs some renovations, good crab though!
Shit man.. this guy is the real fu*king deal. Not afraid to take sponsorship from people who speak their minds. I love it.
Also, EVERYBODY knows Epstein didn't kill himself. I think grandpa Biden is probably the only one who believes that.
Holy shit this was a good listen
Mike, Eli was an awesome guest! He appears to be one of the more honest guests that I have watched.
You don't release the dogs unless you want to kill. Mike you are the best, common sense, dude I've ever , I'd like to say met. Thank you for the TRUTH.
Quick question for Eli if he sees this; on the issue with the lungs did you have to get some kind of waiver or how did you get past that?
Sign of the times question: Did the name of SOCOM'S new director of the office of 'Diversity and Inclusion'...Richard Torres Estrada...come up?
