0:35
Yes Sir. Yes, Sir.
0:36
I can man introduce you guys yourselves.
0:40
So my name is Luis, one of the Co founders of GoDaddy roping.
0:45
And then I'm Pablo. I'm one of the other Co founders
0:47
of GoDaddy roping and. These are brothers.
0:50
No. No.
0:51
The brothers stayed home. Yeah.
0:54
How did the brother get out of getting up early?
0:56
You had two mics. Oh, gotcha, 2X1.
1:00
So we had another mic we'd have had, we'd have had the three of
1:02
you. Gotcha.
1:03
And you know what? There's a total of 4 founders.
1:05
Oh, is there? Yeah, yeah, 44 owners, but.
1:09
You know, 3 founders, 4 owners. OK.
1:12
So somebody invested in it then? Yes.
1:14
Very how cool have you guys known each other for it's?
1:18
About high schools. Oh yeah.
1:19
Where'd you guys go? Long story, we've technically
1:23
known each other since we were like probably 7 or 8, OK, but we
1:27
didn't get close until the year right before high.
1:29
School gotcha, Yeah. Where'd you guys go to high
1:31
school? We went to Saint Mary's Catholic
1:34
High School my first year, he graduated from there, and then I
1:37
ended up graduating out of Desert Heights, OK.
1:40
Cool. So both local boys grew up here.
1:42
Yeah. You know what down in Phoenix
1:44
and, and we, our families would see each other at church.
1:46
We'd say hi and what, but we were just never friends.
1:50
We'd see each other at photo family events and stuff like
1:53
that. Birthday parties, parties and
1:55
and we just wouldn't talk to each other but.
1:57
We'd hang out for that one or two hours and then deuces.
2:00
And now you're business partners.
2:01
Yeah, yeah. That's cool.
2:02
And we call each other like probably 30 times a day.
2:05
Yeah, well, that's. Just seeing what you guys are
2:07
wearing or? What?
2:08
Pretty much, yeah. But dude, since since we're
2:13
always like, since we're young freshman year, I mean, we always
2:16
wanted to do something. We always wanted to do some
2:18
business, put something together.
2:20
And we're, I mean, starting high school freshman year, dude, we,
2:25
we started a little landscaping gig, OK, still around our
2:28
neighborhood. We'd be pulling a long trailer
2:31
with a quad. Nice.
2:32
Yeah, we're talking like 15 foot trailer with the quad, a little
2:36
250. Quad and we'd go knock every
2:38
house in the in the area. You know, we always thought we
2:40
were going to be business owners at someday.
2:42
And so I mean we're still trying to do that today.
2:45
We're still trying to. Still trying to do the landscape
2:47
thing too. No, no, no, no.
2:48
OK, Just try to the entrepreneurship, right?
2:51
That's very cool. Guys fall into the goat rope and
2:53
what, what, what was that? Oh, that's a fun story, huh?
2:56
Yeah. He went out to ride at a
3:00
Roadrunner on a Thursday practice match to get him a
3:02
little bowl. And, you know, our parents
3:05
taught us our whole lives, be respectful, say thank you.
3:08
So we went up to Jeff, the previous owner from the
3:12
Roadrunner, and we were like, hey, like, thanks for allowing
3:14
us to come out. Like, thanks for putting this
3:16
kind of stuff on. And so we just sat there and
3:18
talked with him for hours after the after the event.
3:21
And, and we, we honestly give a lot of tribute to our, our
3:25
family being so much like, oh, like, make sure you should give
3:29
thanks. Make sure you say thank you, be
3:30
respectful. Yeah.
3:31
That's a lot of the the cowboy culture.
3:33
You know for sure, really. Admire that but at the same time
3:37
when we when we did that when we went out to ride me and my
3:40
brother rode went over to go say thank you to Jeff.
3:43
I bought him a beer. I'm not even old enough but at.
3:46
His own bar. Told told the bartender.
3:49
You know, hey, can you, you know, purchase a beer for that?
3:51
He's like, you want to buy a beer for the owner?
3:53
I was like, yeah, just wait on my tab, you know what I mean?
3:55
And we got to talk to him because of that.
3:58
Yeah, that's cool. And we're sitting down talking
4:00
with him about it and he's just telling us about what was going
4:03
on, what they used to have. And and they said something
4:06
about this goat rope. And I was like, what the hell is
4:08
that? Never heard about it ever.
4:12
And you know what? We'd never really held that a
4:15
proper rope in our hands until we started putting on the goat
4:19
ropings. So we had like, no clue, no
4:22
idea. We we went into a basic
4:25
basically blind. OK, but we started or we're out
4:30
there with Jeff. We got a couple ideas.
4:32
I was over there talking to Jeff about.
4:34
He's like, there's about 250 teams out here on this day.
4:37
I'm just looking at Pablo. I'm like, what the heck.
4:40
I was like, dude, that's money right there.
4:42
And he told us they're like $25 a side is what they paid.
4:45
We found that that was alive, but they only charged $5 a side.
4:51
So we're just, we're making numbers up in our head.
4:54
I look over at him. He's grinning ear to ear where
4:57
he's got goats on Craigslist on his phone.
4:59
Craigslist was up, Facebook was up, everything.
5:02
Dude, that's awesome man. Shit, a lot of people are just
5:04
giving goats away. Yeah, I mean, we gave 2 away.
5:08
Oh yeah, give. A couple more, we'll take them.
5:10
Yeah. Well, what's what's like really
5:12
cool is, you know, you guys had this entrepreneurial spirit at a
5:16
young age, you know, and I mean, I remember tons of times hanging
5:20
out with my buddies and talking about like, oh man, like what if
5:23
we did this and this and this? But then, you know, you wake up
5:26
the next morning and you just go through life.
5:28
But you guys actually talked about it, you know, and then you
5:32
guys put your plan into reality. You know what I mean?
5:35
I think that's freaking bad ass too.
5:38
Well, nobody understands the fear of entrepreneurship.
5:40
There's no guarantees when you go start something that it's
5:43
going to work, right? I mean, so you guys took a shot
5:46
not only on yourselves, but on each other, right?
5:48
You had to trust each other to, to start this thing and, and
5:50
really build, you know, not that there's not a concept there
5:53
because they are obviously we're saying there's 250 teams here
5:55
locally, but to, to not only start something, but to do it
5:59
and do it well, you know what I mean?
6:00
I mean, every time we go, you guys have a packed house, right?
6:04
So it's cool to see, you know, young entrepreneurs really
6:08
taking the bull by the horns, you know, per SE, and then
6:11
building something. So you guys didn't have any
6:13
goats at the at the beginning, right?
6:15
But we had to. Get anything bigger than the
6:17
chicken by then, yeah. Really.
6:19
Yeah. Where the hell do you store all
6:21
these goats? Dude, it's the funniest story.
6:26
So we, we like saved up some money to get panels.
6:29
We saved up some money to get the goats and we're just mapping
6:33
it all out, you know, probably like a month after I'd gone a
6:35
ride and we finally saved up the money for it.
6:38
Just like some fun money is what we called it.
6:41
So we just saved up that fun money and we did the jankiest
6:45
thing, man. I mean, we, we didn't, we never
6:49
seen a goat almost in real life. We've never seen a goat in real
6:52
life. I was thinking of bringing them
6:54
back in a van. Oh shit, thanks be to God we did
6:59
it and I was just like hey dad do you mind if I borrow a
7:01
trailer? We had this the same trailer we
7:04
used for for landscaping. I ended up taking that trailer.
7:07
It's got maybe like 4 foot high walls.
7:09
I don't think so, but I'm pretty sure I was like 2 foot outside.
7:12
Walls. It was just big enough to keep
7:14
them in. No, not big enough to keep them
7:17
in. That's the issue.
7:18
So we, we drove all the way down to Camp Verde for, for this, we
7:22
went in his truck. But we, you know, we, we pulled,
7:25
we pulled that little trailer. Well, we got there, man.
7:28
I was. I was terrified.
7:29
Yeah, I bet. There wasn't.
7:31
I'd never seen a goat that big in my life.
7:33
OK. So I was there like you guys
7:36
were like. Roping.
7:37
You guys were getting Rams. Well, that's all we get.
7:40
No. Oh, I was thinking like a like
7:42
a, like a sheep ram, like a mountain.
7:44
The mountain goat? No.
7:45
Those are huge no? You know what they're like.
7:48
Yeah, wait, so a RAM is what? Male.
7:52
Oh, really? Sheep?
7:53
Yeah. Yeah.
7:53
Oh, OK, well, I guess I learned something.
7:56
I didn't know that. Ignore me, I'm stupid.
7:59
What? It is a sheep.
8:01
It's a male. Yeah, it's a male shot of goats.
8:03
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
8:04
A Ram's a. A male sheep, Yeah.
8:06
Oh, or like a male. So the mountain goats are the
8:09
are Rams. Those are sheep, but yeah.
8:11
Just. I think so.
8:13
Oh, I. Don't know man, I'm a goat guy.
8:15
They're going. To have to go.
8:17
I'm a goat. Focus on goats.
8:20
I'm I'm like really? Confused.
8:21
We'll, we'll have the producer look it up.
8:22
What we're what we're talking. I know that a Ram is a truck
8:25
though. Yeah, there's a few of them
8:28
outside right now, yeah. No, but we we've never held a
8:35
go, bro. We've never held a go and we had
8:40
probably a very fast crash course on how to raise goats and
8:45
then immediately went to hog tying them because the guy was
8:47
like, they're going to jump out on the I-17.
8:50
Oh shit. So unless you want to go chase a
8:52
goat on the I-17, you're hog tying them on the way.
8:54
Down. Yeah, yeah.
8:56
We brought a rope. We bought a like a kid rope.
9:00
We're like, Oh yeah, we're going to get it easy, dude.
9:03
No, no. They're in the smallest pen and
9:06
I tell you, we had the hardest time getting those goats.
9:10
Yeah, the hardest time, especially when you just.
9:12
You're not raised like that, right?
9:14
We had the hardest time trying to grab those and it took
9:17
everything in me to go and like not be scared.
9:20
I won't even lie to. You you should have seen us
9:22
getting the two pigs out of here.
9:25
It took four of us to get those suckers into a trailer.
9:28
It was like, you don't realize that a pig is pure muscle until
9:32
you try to wrestle a pig. And that's, I mean, 'cause when
9:35
we got them, they were, what, 5060 lbs?
9:37
Oh yeah, and they were like over 200 lbs when they left.
9:41
Like getting them out of here, it took, it took four of us guys
9:43
to get them in a trailer. Yeah.
9:44
Yeah. So a ram is an adult male sheep.
9:48
However, a. Mountain boat is not that.
9:51
It's a Big Horn, sheep. Big Horn, OK, not a mountain.
10:03
Boat. Yeah, see, I knew that.
10:04
I just went to Barrizona. Oh, there you go.
10:06
Yeah, that's where you go get educated.
10:08
On the difference, it goes all from your car bro.
10:10
Drive through education right there.
10:13
So how long has GoDaddy roping been going on?
10:17
Oh, our first event was November of 2024.
10:20
OK. Yeah.
10:21
So just over a year. Very cool.
10:23
I think that's when we ran into you guys.
10:24
Was it like one of your first events out at Dylan's right?
10:28
I think you guys ran into us in June, right at our June.
10:30
Was it June? Yeah, I thought it was cold.
10:33
No, I can't remember. I just remember.
10:36
I just remembered convincing you guys to give me a Kubota hat.
10:39
The. What?
10:40
Oh, you called it. And that was the June rodeo.
10:43
Yeah, yeah. That's.
10:44
Right. OK.
10:44
Yeah, that's when you guys saw Cohen at our rodeo.
10:47
You played the intermission. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:50
Yep, yeah. That's how I.
10:51
Mean I started that was that started.
10:53
Right when we started. Yeah, that's awesome, man.
10:59
And how old are you guys? 20. 20 damn Dang.
11:03
Dude. That's awesome.
11:04
And then his brother's 1919. Yeah.
11:06
Very cool. That's awesome.
11:08
Well, what I like about you guys is you guys let my son work with
11:12
you guys. You know you guys put him to
11:14
work, man. He's our best paid employee.
11:16
Yeah, dude. Straight up, he's free 99, yeah.
11:19
Well, the well, the last rodeo, you know, he goes out there and
11:22
like, you know, bucks on the bull or whatever.
11:25
And then, you know, we go to the tables.
11:28
We're just chilling. I'm like, alright, it's time to
11:30
go and I know Drakes already over there with with with them
11:34
working or doing something right And I go back there and then
11:38
Louise is back there pulling goats and Drakes back there like
11:41
closing and open up the gates and he's just sweating that I'm.
11:44
Like those kids are. Those kids are.
11:46
I know, and I'm like hell yeah dude.
11:48
Good for you, Drake, you know, so I appreciate you guys for.
11:52
Yeah, no doubt. No, we appreciate you for
11:54
letting them do. Yeah.
11:56
Well, it's good. It's good for all of them to
11:57
learn it too, right? They don't need to just go out,
11:59
throw a rope. They need to learn how to work
12:01
these events and help out and stuff like that.
12:03
Because you never know, Drake may be the next right generation
12:06
of this or whatever. So it's cool to see you guys
12:08
kind of hand that down, especially at such a young age,
12:11
right? You have the ability to
12:12
influence the next generation of this stuff going back to like
12:15
what you're talking about the cowboy way or the cowboy
12:17
lifestyle is, you know, handing it down and showing the next
12:21
generation so. Did you guys ever see yourselves
12:25
in this western culture? Not even in the slightest.
12:28
Really. You didn't.
12:29
So you didn't grow up like this? No, I grew up in the middle of
12:32
the city. OK.
12:33
Yeah. And the closest thing to a farm
12:36
I got was the deer farm up in Williams.
12:38
I was the closest thing I ever really got to a farm.
12:40
Yeah. Yeah.
12:42
So back to the interesting thing.
12:44
Where are you guys storing all these damn goats?
12:48
His his pops has a little, a little bit of property over in,
12:53
I guess like what, Northeast, Yeah, Phoenix, yeah.
12:57
I was really hoping you were going to tell me it was like a,
12:59
you know, small community, small backyard.
13:01
There was 100 goats that. Would have made for a good
13:03
story. Yeah, for sure.
13:05
Right. HOA is pissed off.
13:06
Yeah. Downtown Phoenix.
13:08
Yeah, right. We got taken out.
13:10
We got a house up in Anthem and it's in there in the backyard.
13:13
I wouldn't be surprised because you guys said you guys went to
13:15
Saint Mary's. Yeah.
13:19
That's funny, but I mean, going back to that story where we are
13:23
coming back from Camp Verde, we had four goats.
13:27
We bought 4 goats for the first time and then we hog tied them
13:31
on the way back and we put a tarp over them.
13:32
I'm not going to lie to you because we were like, this is
13:34
the jankiest, most Hispanic thing I've I've ever seen and
13:38
I've. Ever done?
13:40
So I'm just, I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this and I'm not
13:42
letting other people see it. And so we're driving back and
13:47
man, we stopped at at a Circle K and and I called my dad.
13:51
I'm like, hey Dad, like there's just going to be a surprise for
13:53
you when we get. Home also he had no idea they
13:55
were coming. We hadn't even know that more
13:58
we. Had a Yeah, we had a chicken
14:00
coop that we just threw them in and rose hell with it.
14:04
So it was, it was great. And while we were there at that
14:08
gas station, man, we sat down to eat outside and you just hear
14:11
the goats. Yeah, and people were looking
14:14
around like, what the heck, because we had them covered too.
14:17
And we were just cracking up. We were just laughing there,
14:20
sitting at a, at a Sonic right next to and.
14:24
But once we got home, we threw them in there and dude, it was,
14:31
it was crazy. It was really interesting how
14:33
how we ended up going into that. But like you said, we like he
14:36
said, we never really grew up this way.
14:38
Yeah. We didn't grow up like this at
14:39
all. I mean, I, I took horse lessons
14:41
as a kid, you know, just learning how to ride and
14:44
whatnot, just because my parents at some point had a liking to
14:46
it. But it wasn't like we grew up,
14:50
you know, on a farm, on a ranch, whatever it was.
14:52
But, you know, we always, we always did.
14:55
I, I always liked the lifestyle. I always liked the bulls.
14:58
I was always intrigued by riding bulls, by riding Bronx, by all
15:01
the rodeo stuff. We always went to a couple
15:03
different events and well, eventually got into it, I guess
15:10
you could say. She started with four.
15:11
How many goats do you guys have now?
15:14
Right now we have about 14 goats.
15:17
OK, so not all of them run. There's a so we have one one
15:21
female who's about to She's about a.
15:24
She's about to pop. Oh, OK, so she's pregnant.
15:26
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so she's just sitting at the
15:29
house right now. And then the rest of them get
15:31
taken out to our ropings and we have to alternate between.
15:36
You have to have a couple because we started with four one
15:39
time and like 100, maybe like 70 teams showed up.
15:42
I don't know what we're thinking, but only about three
15:44
of them ran. So.
15:46
So we ran them to death quite like it was bad.
15:50
But we eventually had to expand, get more, and we're doing good
15:53
now. You gotta swap them every now
15:55
and then, but yeah. Have you guys thought about
15:57
using them for weed control? Have you seen that stuff?
15:59
Like you can charge people for that dude.
16:01
Yeah, I saw that. And they like.
16:03
Well, good job. I saw a video the other day
16:05
where the, like, there it was like a sloped backyard and the
16:09
weeds were, like 3 feet high. Yeah.
16:11
They brought in 100 goats and within six hours it was bare.
16:14
Gone. Yeah, yeah, hey, it looks like
16:19
that's what I was saying. I was like goat daddy roping
16:21
slash goat daddy landscaping, right.
16:23
Like, you know, especially. Now, man.
16:25
You grow them, we chew them. Yeah, yeah, right.
16:28
So grow away too. Yeah, that's all there.
16:31
But I mean, shit as much, especially after the rains that
16:34
we just had. I'll let, I'll figure out a way
16:36
to tie them suckers out in the back and let them just go nuts
16:39
with all of the rain that we had.
16:41
It grew like crazy out here. I guarantee you'd grab a bunch,
16:44
a bunch of people out here, be like, shit, let them loose on
16:46
our property, you know? But so what's, what do you guys
16:51
got going on now? What's coming up?
16:54
We, we took a huge step from goat ropings to bull ridings.
16:59
So up coming up right now and 31st and 30th of January, we got
17:03
a full rodeo we're putting on. Awesome.
17:05
Yeah, the great and glory. Great and glory, Wickenburg
17:08
Rodeo. Yes, Sir, very.
17:09
Cool. We're excited, we're stoked.
17:12
Took a lot of planning though about, you know, it was a huge
17:16
step for us. We were like, dude, how do we do
17:18
this? You know, because even the one
17:19
in June was a huge step and we didn't do much for it.
17:21
I basically called Lacey and said, hey, what do we got to do?
17:24
And she gave me a checklist and I did it, but there was no
17:27
checklist for this one. The checklist still grows on
17:29
this. What what?
17:30
What was the so like the first one?
17:32
What would the checklist look like?
17:35
Pay her and bring entertainment. Yeah, you say what?
17:38
Pay her and bring entertainment. OK, 'cause you guys piggybacked
17:40
on the four O 6, right? No, no, Four O 6 wasn't supposed
17:44
to do anything that weekend. OK.
17:46
We had an A rodeo plan originally in May Plans fell
17:50
through and I was working with Susie from Dillon's and, you
17:55
know, just talking to her. She was, she's been our mentor
17:58
since probably the beginning, you know, and I was like, hey, I
18:01
was like, you know, this just happened to us.
18:03
Like, you know, crap. Like we're, we were down on our
18:05
luck a little bit. We lost a little bit of money.
18:07
And she looks at her calendar, looks at me with the grin, looks
18:09
back at her calendar and goes, what if you put one on here?
18:13
And I'm like, what do you mean? What does that look like?
18:15
She's like, call Lacey, have her tell you what to do, get
18:19
entertainment and let's get it on.
18:21
I was like, OK, give me a date. She gave me a date June 7th.
18:25
And then I called Lacey. I was like, Lacey was like, I
18:27
want to put this on. What are your thoughts?
18:28
She was like, you might not get writers.
18:31
It's summer. She's like, but let's try it
18:32
out. And I was like, OK, I was like,
18:34
let's see what? Let's see what entries look
18:35
like. So we started and then we're
18:37
like, what do we call it? I have no clue.
18:38
I'm the least creative person you will ever meet.
18:41
And Lacey goes, let's call it Buckney in the summer.
18:43
I was like, sweet. I love that.
18:45
Yeah. First week of the 1st week of
18:47
the official summer month. Let's do it right.
18:50
And we had a huge success. We had all the stands full.
18:54
We had a good amount of writers, you know, we brought Colton out
18:57
to sing. It was it was amazing.
18:59
We loved it yeah. You know, goat roping to follow
19:02
probably one of our top four biggest nights on So we loved
19:05
it. We had a lot of fun this year
19:06
that. Was fun that that did work out
19:08
pretty well because because we signed Drake up for that and it
19:14
was nice because I feel like during that time it didn't get
19:17
hot. Like it was like a perfect, you
19:20
know, the weather was great. The time was great.
19:24
So I think you guys got lucky on that one.
19:26
Oh yeah, well we put that thing together in three weeks.
19:29
It was 3 weeks time from the second.
19:31
I called Lacey the day after I spoke with Susie to the daily
19:35
event. That's cool.
19:37
Yeah. And we, we hadn't been at
19:39
Dylan's for very long either, and we started going there maybe
19:42
in January. They're really good people.
19:44
I mean, they just had a ton. And that rodeo there, it wasn't
19:47
necessarily for us to make like a, you know, we weren't looking
19:51
to make so much as, you know, money on it, but rather just to
19:54
get our name out there. Yeah.
19:55
Just to get into the industry just to you know, we, we always
19:59
call it goat roping or gateway drug there.
20:01
You go, well, it's kind of cool 'cause you guys started just
20:04
like behind the stands, right where you guys are, and now
20:07
you're actually in the bucking. Arena no with with Dylan's,
20:12
we've always been in the Bucking Arena.
20:15
We just were not great on time management, so we never made it
20:17
back into the Bucking Arena after Lacey.
20:20
Gotcha, 'cause I thought when Colton was roping, they were you
20:24
guys were behind the stands where the camel is now, right?
20:27
Yes, Yeah. But now you guys are doing you,
20:31
you guys are actually setting up in the bucking arena.
20:34
Well, for that night specifically because of the heat
20:36
that we were thinking we were going to have a lot of heat.
20:39
We started the event late, Gotcha.
20:41
And with Lacey starting at 7, there was no time to start the
20:45
goat roping afterwards and have her get all her animals out.
20:47
Safe. I see.
20:48
OK, that makes sense. Very cool.
20:52
So great. And glory.
20:53
What's what? What kind of a rodeo is a full
20:55
rodeo? What events are you guys going
20:57
to have? How many riders?
20:59
What? Do you expect going on, It's a
21:00
full rodeo. It's half open, half Junior in
21:02
Afar. So working with Lacey, we love
21:04
her. She was like, hey, do you want
21:06
to get Junior in Afar out here? And I was like, absolutely,
21:09
yeah. So we have Junior in Afar for
21:11
our three main bucking events. Bull riding, bareback, saddle
21:13
bar, OK everything else is open. We got team roping, breakaway
21:18
barrel racing, calf roping, ranch, bronc, saddle bronc,
21:23
bareback and bull riding and then mutton busting for the
21:26
kids. Very cool.
21:27
Then all stock is provided from 4:06.
21:30
All 406, Yep. Well, all rough stocks provided
21:33
by 406. Yeah, OK Jack Fisher will be
21:34
providing all of our time stock. OK.
21:39
Very cool. Damn dude.
21:40
I think we're going to provide you 3 riders.
21:43
Awesome. Yeah, I think Mimi's Drake.
21:45
And Mimi Drake. And then this one.
21:47
Oh yeah. Why not?
21:50
You couldn't. Do it.
21:53
What? Tomorrow goes yeah, that's.
21:56
How tomorrow goes? What are you competing?
21:58
In she barrel races. Oh really?
21:59
Yeah, well her her barrel horse just got adjusted by the Cairo
22:03
yesterday. So we're we're going to see how
22:05
she does tomorrow. But she had herself a rodeo a
22:08
couple weeks ago out at at the horns and hooves.
22:13
So we're we're looking forward to seeing how she does tomorrow.
22:15
She's been great since we've changed farriers and we've, you
22:19
know, fixed her feet and done all kinds of stuff.
22:21
But yeah, so I'm trying to convince her to ride in it.
22:24
I was like, why not? We're going to be out there.
22:27
Why not ride in it so? I got to take a piss.
22:30
We're going to take a break, all righty.

24:38
So we can. Feel better we we can resume.
24:41
I feel relieved. You can always expect something
24:44
random from Shane. I think like personally, I can
24:49
relate to you guys as far as, you know, not growing up in this
24:54
lifestyle, you know, and then just like within like the last
24:59
three years, kind of get getting into it, you know, and it's it's
25:05
definitely an adventure, you know, and I love it.
25:09
I mean, I love being able to go to the rodeos and watching my
25:12
son ride and then, you know, I have a horse as well and getting
25:16
to ride her and, but it's awesome.
25:20
I like it. A lot of work it is.
25:22
Yeah. It's funny.
25:23
We always hear you live our dream life.
25:25
And I'm like, be careful what you ask for.
25:27
Yeah. The dream life is very, very
25:29
busy. There are no sleeping in.
25:31
And there is no. I don't feel good today.
25:33
Yeah. Oh yeah.
25:36
Yeah, what's so you're so you're doing grit and glory coming up.
25:40
You got a full rodeo going. Is the plan moving forward to
25:43
create your own series? Is that kind of the direction
25:46
that we're going in? We'd like to, yeah, I think our
25:51
next one. So our next rodeo after this
25:53
one's in April, That one is a junior NFR finals.
25:57
Oh wow. But that one we're putting on
26:00
more as like a Christian event. So it's not very cool subjected
26:03
more towards rodeo only we we got a little bit more going on
26:07
that day. But I think long term we'd like
26:11
to get into eventually hosting like PRCA events, PBR, you know,
26:14
get a little bit bigger and be able to put on these more
26:17
bigger, better events and just grow with it.
26:20
Yeah, that was always a plan. Is to grow a full rodeo so.
26:24
Yeah, we, we wanted to be rodeo producers.
26:26
OK, I mean a little bit before we even heard of goat roping,
26:30
but we knew that goat roping was or could be a weigh in.
26:34
Yeah. So, So what do you guys need to
26:36
get it to that next level? A crap ton of money.
26:40
OK, So what? What's a crap ton?
26:45
I mean, like for this event alone, we're upwards of like 25,
26:49
almost 30 grand in spending, OK, you know, just on this one.
26:52
And it's a simple 2 day event. You know, we didn't realize how
26:58
fast it all adds up until it added up.
27:00
Sure. You know, when we, when we were
27:02
first thinking numbers, we were like 1520 low end.
27:04
You know, we're like, that's manageable.
27:06
We got like what, seven months to pay this off?
27:09
Not manageable. That 15 grew straight to 30 real
27:11
quick. Yeah, you know.
27:13
Well, there's unexpected expenses, right?
27:15
Things that you don't really plan for.
27:17
Plus it's your first big one. Now that you've done it, you'll
27:19
have a basis of design. Now you can go and.
27:22
Build on that. We always, you know, we knew
27:23
that first one was going to be extremely rough, you know, but
27:26
it's that learning curve we have, you know, we have to learn
27:29
how to do it. I mean, the same way with the
27:30
goat roping. We learned how to go through
27:32
that the first times we were wrangling the goats moving in
27:35
because we we hand load them. OK, when we hand load them, I
27:38
mean man, it takes a toll on your body for that night, at
27:41
least until your muscles get used.
27:43
It used to take us like, what, 2 1/2 hours to get through our
27:46
original 40 runs? Yeah.
27:48
Now in 2 1/2 hours we can knock out 220 runs.
27:50
Yeah. Oh wow.
27:51
You know, we used to have to have a team of 5-6 people and
27:54
now we can run a roping with three.
27:56
Yeah. You know, we've learned how to
27:58
simplify, how to make things easier, how to condense the jobs
28:02
down. You know, we it just got better
28:05
over time. And that's what we're expecting,
28:07
hopefully with the rodeo, we know it's going to be a learning
28:09
curve there as well. But you know, the thing we need
28:12
and the thing that we've noticed that makes the biggest
28:14
difference, it's, it's about who you know, it's not about, it's
28:18
not about anything else really. You know, you know, the right
28:20
people, you make the right connections.
28:22
Well, you'll be. You'll be set.
28:24
So that's why I was asking like, you know, you guys have a fourth
28:27
investor now, right. So is that is that person just
28:29
bringing capital or are they bringing strategic planning or
28:32
what are they doing? So originally it was just
28:34
capital, OK? And the reason I say originally
28:37
is he just took a step back. So the 4th investor is Daniel.
28:41
He used to be our announcer, OK? He's actually the gentleman that
28:43
you guys met that you convinced him of giving you a Kubota hat.
28:46
Gotcha. OK so he started with us since
28:49
event one, OK, But when he started I called him up one day
28:52
and I was like yo you're stupid. You say stupid shit, can you do
28:57
it on a mic for me? 'Cause.
28:59
I've grown a lot personally. You, if you would have told me a
29:02
year and a year and a half ago that I was going to be on a mic
29:04
singing into it. No, Yeah, I was singing my heart
29:07
out last night announcing for our event.
29:08
So bad. Oh, shut.
29:10
Up where was last night's event at Roadrunner?
29:13
Oh cool. Yeah, don't listen to him.
29:14
You know how? Many times I turned around, I'm
29:16
just looking at this guy. I'm like, shut your mouth, dude.
29:19
Beautiful, bro. It was, it was, it was
29:21
electronic issues. OK.
29:22
I didn't have it, tuned it. Was just people just try to
29:25
rope. You can just hear him.
29:26
He's like singing like. Yeah.
29:28
Show them how. Show them how do it do it, Yeah.
29:31
Wait, you're actually singing? Yeah.
29:33
Singing. Singing into the mic.
29:35
Wow. And then there's like people try
29:37
to rope. I'm like, this guy's probably
29:38
distracted. They're trying to be a second.
29:43
So you get obviously you're getting far more comfortable
29:45
behind the mic, right. So you're doing more announcing
29:47
now that he's not doing it. Yeah, OK.
29:49
Yeah, very cool. It it was a that was a huge
29:52
learning curve. Yeah.
29:54
So what kind of help are you guys looking for for the rodeo
29:56
coming up at Grit and Glory? Vendors is our biggest part.
30:00
Vendors, we just want to pack the house, you know, make sure
30:02
that whoever gets to attend can just be able to shop, be able to
30:06
enjoy food. You know, we got drinks coming
30:08
out. We're working with Crescent
30:10
Crown to be able to provide the beverages.
30:12
You know, we're, we're ready for it.
30:14
She got food trucks and stuff like that coming out.
30:16
And then another thing is just like having enough riders for
30:19
everything, we, you know, we want to make sure.
30:21
I'm sure we will. But you know, as time gets
30:25
closer, you know, I talk to people, talk to bull riders,
30:27
talk to bronc riders and they're just like, oh, we just want to
30:30
make sure we're going to be an able body by the time we get
30:33
there. So we haven't seen too many sign
30:34
ups. So we're, you know, of course
30:37
there's like things going through our head like, oh, is
30:39
there going to be enough? Oh, is there, you know, but we
30:42
hear from just about everybody that they're gonna go.
30:44
We'll see if people go. Through SO is registration open
30:46
now? Yes, registration will be open
30:49
up until the day before. Yeah, OK.
30:51
How many bull riders you got in there right now?
30:54
In the open, I think we're only at 2:00.
30:57
Trev, sign up, buddy. You'll probably win this one.
31:01
I mean, he wins up at the Buffalo Chip and stuff anyway,
31:03
so I love that. Yeah, he was on one of our first
31:06
guests. Awesome.
31:08
But yeah, we have a little more on the time to vent side right
31:11
now for the open. I just got confirmation this
31:14
morning that we do have I think 22 confirmed junior and far
31:17
riders though. Oh, cool.
31:18
Yeah, so that'll be pretty fun as well.
31:20
They they ride their hearts out, man.
31:21
Yeah. Yeah, we went to one of their
31:23
events. It was, it was awesome.
31:25
It was normally seeing those kids.
31:27
It's Burl, man. It's crazy.
31:28
Yeah. Yeah, we're signing Drake up for
31:30
it, too. Awesome for the.
31:31
I'm waiting for it, bro. Huh.
31:33
I'm waiting. Yeah.
31:34
See that name pop up? I'll.
31:35
I'll let you know. See it?
31:36
Yeah. Drake will be in there.
31:38
Mimi's will be in there. Yeah, probably.
31:39
Help you too. Happy work.
31:41
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:43
He's going to pay down her and then he'll actually work.
31:45
Yeah. Afterwards.
31:46
Are you guys going to be like running the shoots in the in the
31:48
back too or? Lacey handles all that.
31:50
Lacey care of that, yeah, which eventually we want to learn how
31:53
to do all that good stuff. We want to get our own stock at
31:55
some point, but one step at a time.
31:58
Right. Yeah.
31:59
Yeah, yeah. I think like end goal like 30
32:01
years in the future is US putting everything like, yeah,
32:04
me having to make calls just for advertising and vendors.
32:07
Yeah, You know, we have all the sound, we have all the stock,
32:10
all the equipment, like that's that's dream and goal, you know.
32:15
But yeah, 'cause Shane and I had talked at one point like it'd be
32:18
cool to be a, a stock contractor, like get our own set
32:20
of stock and like, kind of like what Lacy does, but.
32:24
Or even like putting on like we would, we'd even thrown around
32:27
like putting on a rodeo too. But we just.
32:30
Don't we don't know what to do? Yeah, we don't own goats or
32:32
anything. Yeah, and goats is the first
32:35
step, brother. Yeah.
32:36
Just go go buy some goats and get Verde.
32:38
Yeah, well, no, and that's why I was asking like what are you
32:42
guys looking for for future partners, because it might be
32:44
something that you know worth having a conversation about
32:47
instead of start from scratch. Maybe we just figure out how how
32:50
to blow what you have up existing I'm.
32:53
I mean, I'm excited to be able for you guys to let us go out
32:56
there and, you know, do the, yeah, recorded podcasts.
33:00
And we have plans on walking around, talking to people,
33:04
talking to vendors, talking to fans, you know what I'm saying?
33:07
So yeah. Yeah.
33:09
So we'll definitely be out there spending some time.
33:11
I know, like on our side, you know, there's been writers
33:14
that's, you know, reached out to me like, hey, you know, what's
33:18
this rodeo? And I'm telling them, hey, sign
33:20
up and if you do, you let me know personally.
33:22
So that way, you know, when we're recording, we could get
33:26
you on and we can, you know, interview you about your ride.
33:28
You know what I'm saying? So I'm excited to add that.
33:32
Just it's just going to be a different part of a rodeo,
33:35
right? I don't see much podcasts.
33:38
Yeah, recording an episode at a rodeo.
33:40
At a rodeo, which is. Or a lot of engagement with the
33:43
crowd, right, where we can go up and spend time with the crowd.
33:45
Ask him, hey, what do you like? What would you like to see
33:47
differently? Like, I know the girls want to
33:49
ask, like, some random questions.
33:51
Like, what makes you the least cowboy out here?
33:53
Yeah. Things like that.
33:55
I got a lot. I got a lot of.
33:57
Them what's that? Said I got a lot of them.
33:59
A lot of things that make you at least cowboy, yeah.
34:01
Oh, yeah. Oh, I gotta be a cowboy first.
34:03
I'm not. Yeah, I don't.
34:04
Really. You rode your horse all the way
34:06
over here last night and then rode it home.
34:07
Yeah, I'm a horse rider. Oh, OK, Whatever you say, Shane.
34:13
That's funny. What?
34:17
Who who's your guys's like role models like your 'cause you
34:21
know, you talked about your family and that's how you guys
34:23
grew up. Is there is there any like role
34:25
models that kind of you guys look after or?
34:30
Yeah, I got a couple uncles of mine, bless their souls, man.
34:35
They taught me how to work, you know, they and I got 1 uncle in
34:39
specific. That man, he's got no education,
34:43
but you put him to do something and he will sit there and you're
34:46
like, dude, he's just stupid. He's sitting there like, what
34:47
the hell is he doing? He'll sit there 5 minutes later,
34:50
he's like, I know what to do. He'll disappear for like an hour
34:52
and come back with all the tools he needs and fix it.
34:55
You know, that's how I basically look at everything now.
34:57
I'm like, OK, let's take a step back.
35:00
What do I got to do? You know, this rodeo, we, we
35:02
took a step back. I was like, yeah, let's what do
35:04
we need? You know, we made a checklist.
35:05
We're like, OK, we need, we need the vendors, we need arena, we
35:08
need our contractor. Our contractor was a given.
35:11
You know, Laci's my first call. I didn't pick a date until she
35:13
told me. These are the weekends you can
35:15
do it on, you know, And then from there I went and found the
35:18
arena, you know, So we basically took a step back, saw everything
35:22
that we needed and we're like, cool, let's go at it.
35:25
You know, it wasn't everything, but having 75% of it done and
35:29
known about ahead of time, we probably did not cut ourselves
35:33
as short as we would have if we just went into it right away.
35:37
Yeah, it'll be cool because now you'll understand what it takes
35:39
to put one of these things together.
35:41
So like the next one, it'll it's just going to continually get
35:43
better, right. And the more you guys build your
35:45
own brand inside the rodeo scene, now the riders are going
35:48
to start looking for those events.
35:49
Yeah, very cool. Now relationships outside of
35:53
Dylan's and four O 6. Obviously you guys were just at
35:55
the Roadrunner. So what other locations are you
35:58
guys hosting events at? We also do Hanson's every once
36:01
in a while. The Cave Creek scene seems to
36:03
have been a little slow recently, so we have it just
36:06
because our schedule's been kind of packed right now.
36:09
But last season, Hanson's was a big one for us as well.
36:13
And this, this season, I mean, we try to fit in more, but we
36:17
already had about 85 scheduled ropings for just.
36:20
This season, yeah. Wow.
36:22
So from maybe around August or so till probably the around
36:28
June, we had about 85 scheduled ropings and we're still counting
36:32
but. How far out are you guys
36:34
scheduled? So we have everything up until
36:37
May? Pretty much, Yeah.
36:38
OK, OK. June is a huge what if.
36:42
Yeah, just because it all depends on the Ropers.
36:45
That year. You know, if it, if we have a
36:47
June like last year, we'll probably rope all through it,
36:50
you know, or yeah, 2525. And this year we did.
36:53
We did great in June. We're probably one of the few
36:56
rodeo companies that did do great in June.
37:00
It was our probably second biggest average.
37:02
And then, yeah, that one. Was good.
37:05
July hit tanked after. Yeah, it's too.
37:08
Hot yeah, after 4th of July we were like, yeah, we're not doing
37:10
that next year. So I I think July and August are
37:14
probably our hardest months and everything came back in
37:16
September. Yeah.
37:17
Now, is this all you guys? Is this your guys''s full time
37:20
job? Is GOAT open?
37:21
Or God no. No, I'd be broke dude.
37:24
I'd be living in a cardboard house.
37:25
What do you guys, what do you guys actually do for for?
37:28
Work. So I I do a little bit of
37:31
everything really, but sell houses mainly, yeah.
37:34
Oh, you're in real estate too? Well, wholesaling.
37:36
So yeah, OK, so make some money there.
37:38
And that, that's what keeps me afloat because I'll tell you,
37:41
there's no, there's not really money.
37:42
And go roping. Money's not money at all.
37:45
Our I think our ropers make more money than we do on a night.
37:47
You, yeah, you got it. You got to love it.
37:49
You. Yeah, it's.
37:50
About building a reputation right and branding.
37:52
Yeah. And so we, we really have to
37:54
look at that bigger picture because there was at some point
37:57
where it was just, he wasn't able to come out there all the
37:59
time. And it was just me, my brother
38:02
and our buddy Daniel. Man, it gets so tough.
38:04
It gets so tough. We're out there.
38:06
And I was, I was loading up the trailer one day and some, you
38:09
know, some older fellow passes by.
38:11
He's like, you really love this, huh?
38:12
He's like, I don't think you make much money.
38:13
And I was like, oh, Gee, thanks, bud.
38:16
But but you know, I sat back and I was like, man, that's, that's
38:19
so true. Like we really have to like it
38:22
'cause there's not too much money in it, in the GOAT roping
38:26
at least. And it takes a lot of effort,
38:28
believe it or not, but hopefully, you know, hopefully
38:32
we can turn put it on some rodeos into, into something
38:36
good. We want to get into maybe doing
38:38
some actual team ropings, hosting some team ropings, still
38:42
trying to figure that out. But we got to get into that
38:46
scene and kind of heard about it first because we know they're
38:48
low particular about the way they they do things, and
38:51
rightfully so. Yeah.
38:53
But me personally do some wholesaling contractor work and
38:58
then. I'm a service advisor.
39:01
For who? It's called 3A Automotive.
39:03
OK, So I started as a mechanic, OK, Work slowed down.
39:08
Tried running my own business for a while.
39:11
I'm not a marketing guy, so that slowed down.
39:14
And I just got started with 3A Automotive.
39:17
Great company. I think I'm going to love it
39:19
there. Very cool.
39:19
Yeah, Yeah. So I spent 20 years in the car
39:22
business before. Oh nice.
39:23
Before getting my prison release so but yeah I, so I spent, I
39:29
mean service advisor director, but yeah it's but I worked at
39:35
big dealerships so it was 8090 hour work weeks and I didn't
39:40
spend a whole lot of time with my wife and kids so I got out of
39:42
it but. Dang so you so you just sell
39:45
houses? Like what does that sell?
39:47
Houses wholesale? Wholesale.
39:49
Wholesale houses. What you do is let's say you
39:53
have this pillow here, right? Ioffer you maybe $5 for the
39:57
pillow. You say, yes, I think it's kind
39:58
of ugly and I want to resell, maybe reshape it and sell it
40:00
again. So just selling it to an
40:02
investor. I'll tell the investor, hey,
40:04
I'll you know, if you buy it off of me for I'll give it to you
40:08
for $7.00, he'll go and sell it for 10.
40:12
OK, so I'm just the middle man. You're just flipping houses.
40:14
Just the middle man on a flip. So you're not Even so you're not
40:17
doing any of the rework on the House.
40:19
You're selling to investor that's going to do all the work.
40:21
You don't need any any licensing for that either.
40:24
Gotcha. It's quite nice.
40:26
So, so you're buying people that are either ready to go into
40:29
foreclosure or something like that and then flipping those.
40:34
I don't do much of the foreclosure.
40:35
OK, feel a little bad for sure, You know, don't want to
40:39
necessarily be reaching out that way.
40:41
But, you know, if some people can make some money when they're
40:44
getting foreclosed, I'll help them out in a sense of, hey,
40:47
your house is getting foreclosed.
40:49
You know, if you want to still make some cash, we can work
40:51
something. You know, depending on how much
40:53
they own the house, maybe we can get you some money, by the way,
40:55
you know, just for good. Start up on another house.
40:58
Sure. How'd you get into that?
41:02
So I was, I probably studied it for about a year and what was
41:07
it? High school?
41:08
I, I saw it online and I was like, I just can't be real.
41:11
Looked into it a little bit and I mean, sure enough, I'd, I'd,
41:16
you know, like everybody, you know, trying to do some
41:18
research, trying to look at YouTube videos, buying courses
41:20
and whatnot. Then the first this, I got
41:23
really extremely lucky and it gave me a lot of drive for it.
41:27
I put out a deal one day and on the first day I'd started
41:32
marketing it actually, I sold the house.
41:35
That was really interesting and I got really into that.
41:39
And then just I noticed that a lot of people weren't doing
41:42
mailers like mailing out stuff. And you don't necessarily have
41:45
to do that yourself. You could pay companies these
41:46
days to go ahead and, you know, send out cards for you.
41:51
So I send out some of these cards that look like checks and,
41:54
you know, basically show people what, what their house could go
41:58
for and how much they could receive for it.
42:00
And I'll just work that online and I get leads that way.
42:04
And then once that comes in, they'll go in and sell.
42:07
So that's who keeps texting us. They want to buy a house.
42:11
I don't, I don't, I don't call people, I don't call people and
42:13
I'm proud of that cause golly man, those are annoying.
42:16
I tried to deposit one of them checks before in my bank account
42:19
didn't work out but not working. Dude, that's dude, that's so
42:24
cool man. I mean, that's very intriguing
42:27
'cause you're only 20 years old, you know, and like just hearing
42:33
going on YouTube, you know, teaching yourself, like, what?
42:36
Do you like a Gen. Z, Right.
42:37
You guys are Gen. Z's or something?
42:40
What is it? Yeah, Gen.
42:41
Z's Z. Right, we're a little uneducated
42:44
to that, but. I know me too, but I mean like
42:47
seeing like young, young men, like coming up and just hustling
42:51
dude, you know, I mean, I feel like being like a older guy, 39,
43:01
but. Older, yeah.
43:05
Older than them, I'm a little, you know, right.
43:07
And like seeing like the young, like the youngins seeing these
43:10
youngins come on up here, you know, and everything, you know,
43:13
just out there hustling, you know, but like, dude, I think
43:17
that's freaking awesome because I know at 20, at 19 in, in like
43:21
high school, I wasn't thinking of like, man, I wonder if I
43:24
could flip a house, you know what I'm saying?
43:26
Like, I wasn't thinking of that shit, you know?
43:28
I was just, I think I was in the military and not even thinking
43:33
of my future or anything like that, you know?
43:36
But that's awesome, dude. We couldn't even get him to
43:37
brush his teeth at 20. No, actually, let me tell you a
43:41
story. So.
43:43
I need that open up something. I was in like 7th grade or
43:46
something, right? And I'm driving and my mom,
43:50
you're driving. No, no, I was driving or I was
43:52
riding in a car with my mom that was driving.
43:55
But we're like driving, right? And well, my mom was driving and
44:01
I'm like talking to her. And my mom will tell you that
44:04
this never happened, but I remember this clearest day I'm
44:06
talking to her and she looked at him and she goes, did you brush
44:09
your teeth? And I'm like, yeah, she goes,
44:11
your breast stinks. And after that I was like, and
44:15
I'm like, damn, it does stink, you know?
44:17
And after that, dude, like I brush my teeth every freaking
44:21
day, no matter where I am. I.
44:23
Would hope at least what? And, and my tongue and my
44:25
tongue, you know, I mean, sometimes, you know, sometimes I
44:29
miss a day. This is how the podcast got
44:31
started is that he's like, dude, we should do a podcast.
44:34
And I'm like, why not? We'll just record us
44:35
bullshitting all the time. And how long have you guys known
44:38
each other? So there's a funny story.
44:41
Who? Me and Nate.
44:42
Yeah, so this is the cousin that I didn't believe existed, right?
44:45
So Sam and I have been together 11 years and she's always like,
44:50
I have a really cool part of my family.
44:51
And I was like, no, no you don't.
44:57
And she's like, no really, you're really going to like him?
44:58
I was like, so for years I was like, these people don't
45:01
actually exist, right? And kind of background to how we
45:05
even all got together was Sam and I lived in surprise.
45:08
I took a promotion in Texas. So my office was based out of
45:12
Texas for almost 2 years. Well, they wanted me to move
45:14
there. So he sold everything.
45:17
And then we ended up running into them up at Dillon's, and
45:21
Sam was like, oh, this is a lot of fun.
45:22
These are the cousins that I always wanted you to meet.
45:24
And I was like, yeah, I don't know yet, Right?
45:26
And then we all got to hanging out and having a good time.
45:29
And then sure as shit, we end up buying their exact same house
45:31
out here. And then she's like, I want to
45:33
live the ranch life. So I was like, OK, well.
45:35
Like Nate was not like he would just call me every day, every
45:39
day. Like Jane, what are you doing?
45:41
I'm like, Nate, calm down, bud. Like.
45:44
He remembers the story way differently than it actually
45:47
had. I'm.
45:47
Trying to do laundry right now man, you know.
45:50
You're trying to do laundry. Trying.
45:51
To watch Natalie do laundry. Right now, OK Is Jane and I are
45:58
second? Yeah.
45:58
Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow.
46:00
Yeah. So this is the baby is 6.
46:02
Yeah. So like there's 21 years between
46:04
me and my oldest. Sister.
46:07
Yeah. Wow.
46:08
Yeah, and it's a big family, too.
46:11
Huge family, yeah. So how?
46:13
Many siblings does your mom and my grandma have?
46:16
Gosh, there was like 8 or 9, OK 8 or 9 or something like.
46:23
That yeah, yeah. Big white Midwestern family.
46:30
Nice. Yeah, he just looks the part.
46:32
Yeah. Yeah, well, my doesn't like
46:33
spicy food. Well, my dad's Mexican.
46:36
Yeah, right. And even on his side, we have a
46:39
big family, too. Like the same thing with my
46:42
grandma. But yeah, my mom's white.
46:49
Yeah. Do do you guys speak Spanish?
46:51
Yeah. You do?
46:52
Yeah. Lucky.
46:54
Ohh, you don't. You don't know Spanish?
46:55
I don't know Spanish guy. This dude doesn't like Mexican
46:58
food. And I worked at and I worked at
47:00
Home Depot. Wow, I know.
47:01
OK, but the inside of the outside?
47:03
The in the paint department. He didn't get it.
47:07
He didn't. Ohhh yeah, yeah.
47:12
Yeah, you gotta give him time to process I.
47:14
Told you I was half white dude, so obviously it's in the on the
47:18
inside you. Guys don't remember dial up.
47:20
You don't remember dial up Internet, but that's Chain's
47:22
brain you. Have no no.
47:26
Well, sometimes if I'm making he's.
47:29
He's trying to. See, like if I'm making fun of
47:30
you, though, if I'm making fun of you, I'm like, I'm like high
47:33
speed right there. But if you're making fun of him.
47:35
It takes 7 minutes to process it.
47:37
Well, I don't. I don't really know you that
47:39
well yet. Yeah.
47:40
So I don't know. Somebody said something just.
47:42
Yeah, yeah, just say that. But I get it.
47:43
I'm not with you. I'm not with you.
47:46
Yeah. So I worked at the paint
47:47
department. Nice.
47:49
They they put you, they put you there because you didn't know
47:51
any Spanish. They just hand you the samples
47:53
and you're just like, hey. Dude, I'll be like I was.
47:56
I was like fixing shelves and stuff and yeah, somebody come up
48:00
to me. Hey, right.
48:03
And I would try to sound as wide as I could to let them know that
48:07
I did not speak Spanish. So I'm like, hey dude, what's up
48:11
bro? No Espanol.
48:13
Let me get somebody for you, you know.
48:16
Can I get some of that? Pico de Gallo de Gallo.
48:21
We were actually when, when I was in the Navy, when I was in
48:24
the Navy, we went on this humanitarian deployment in to
48:28
like Peru, right? And so they speak Spanish down
48:34
there. I was with my 2 white buddies,
48:37
right? They're from San Diego, blonde
48:40
haired, blue eyes, as white as you could be, right?
48:43
Surfers, right? Good looking handsome young men.
48:47
And I'm and I'm there with them, right?
48:50
And we go to this bar and the bartender looks right at me and
48:53
goes right. And I'm like, and I point to my
48:58
buddy Bracket. Now, mind you, he's trying to go
49:01
into the Border Patrol, so he knows Spanish.
49:03
And then I point to him and like, he just starts going off
49:07
like, you know, and then she, like, what the Hell's going on
49:12
here? Your, your your white friend.
49:14
Yeah. Knows Spanish.
49:15
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
49:17
Yeah. Like, fluently.
49:18
Well, you don't. I don't know.
49:21
So the White's no excuse, huh? So the white part's no excuse
49:24
then? I mean, it could be.
49:27
But you were halfway there, and I was.
49:29
You were still under. Yeah, yeah.
49:30
But see, like, I didn't, I didn't grow up in the in the
49:32
Hispanic culture, right? Because that the Hispanic
49:36
culture for me was in California and we lived here in Arizona,
49:40
you know, and we just, I just hung out with my mom's family,
49:43
you know? But I mean, don't get me wrong
49:45
way I could hang, you know? What I.
49:46
Mean I can move my hips like hey, you know what I mean so.
49:51
He can jam to some Banda, but Oh yeah, he just can't speak any of
49:54
it. Yeah, he just.
49:55
Can't. I don't know what they're
49:55
saying. Yeah.
49:58
I don't think anyone does that. I can't say.
50:00
When you're that's true, when you did that little invitation
50:03
of like what they come up to you and say, that's probably the
50:05
most accurate. Oh dude, like I can invitation.
50:08
I could probably act like I sound Spanish like if I or yeah,
50:13
speak Spanish like. Yeah.
50:14
So there was another funny story when I was in Indiana.
50:19
OK, I was working in this it like rednecks everywhere, right?
50:24
And I'm like the only colored that's in my shop and all, all
50:31
the all the lineman and everybody we'd be like, hey, you
50:34
know, try to act like you can speak Spanish to these people
50:36
or, you know, just do something like that, right?
50:38
And I'm like, no, no, no. But we were on the storm call
50:41
one time and we just got done working.
50:44
We put up some wire and I go in this backyard to start cleaning
50:47
up all the mess. And this like white lady comes
50:50
out and she's like, she's pointing to like this phone.
50:54
Like there's like a phone cable that fell on her yard.
50:58
She's like, hey, what is this? And she's like looking at me and
51:01
like all the lineman are behind me and I'm like, oh, I don't
51:05
know, No, no English, no English and.
51:10
That's the only part he knows. Yeah.
51:12
And then my, my buddy Zach, he's he's a a lineman and he's
51:16
standing right there. He's trying not to laugh, right.
51:19
And like, I don't know. And then like, everybody else is
51:22
back there just crying, laughing, right?
51:24
They're like, and they had no idea I was going to do that.
51:27
But yeah, I don't speak Spanish. So we say all that just to say I
51:34
don't speak Spanish. Oh shit.
51:38
But it's hilarious. So yeah.
51:39
But I'm always down to learn. Duolingo to learn what?
51:42
Duolingo. Duolingo.
51:43
That doesn't work. That doesn't work, but it's
51:45
probably better than whatever you got right now.
51:47
Right. Well, he damn near learned how
51:48
to speak Chinese when we were in Vegas.
51:50
Oh nice, when we were in the Tesla.
51:53
How was how? How was that?
51:56
What? Learning how to speak.
51:57
Chinese. It's it this dude will talk to
52:00
anybody about anything, right? And I'm not I'm not playing.
52:04
So we get we call an Uber and it's a Tesla and we're like, oh,
52:09
none of us have ridden in a Tesla yet.
52:11
So he gets in and starts touching shit, right and starts
52:14
playing around the front. So he looks over and the guy is
52:17
maps is in Chinese Mandarin or Mandarin, whatever.
52:21
So he starts asking all kinds of questions by the time we get
52:24
there, like, he's got a full background on like, he's like,
52:28
what's our, what's your favorite Chinese food here?
52:29
And he's like, you guys don't have Chinese food here.
52:32
Yeah. So it, it was just really funny.
52:34
But it doesn't matter What Car we're in.
52:36
He's talking to the driver and getting a full breakdown on
52:39
their lifestyle before you get to wherever you're going.
52:42
Some of that is curiosity and some of that is like security
52:47
reasons, right? Like if they are trying to do
52:49
something I'm distracting them from their mission.
52:53
Is that that military background?
52:54
No, no, no. No, no, it's just got that.
53:00
The floral survival instinct. Yeah, yeah.
53:02
You always want to have somebody in the front, right?
53:04
And then somebody sitting in the back behind them, right?
53:08
Because you don't know. You want to Chuck them out with
53:10
their seat belt? You could.
53:12
You could there. You go, you know.
53:14
You. Always you, Always you.
53:16
Always got to be ready. You always got.
53:17
To be ready. Dude, there was there was one
53:19
time we went to Vegas and I was with my sister-in-law and her
53:24
son who went to Circus Circus. We went to go get a taxi.
53:27
We were trying to get a taxi. This guy just pulls up.
53:30
I mean, dumb ass us. We didn't like, oh, where's your
53:32
credentials? He goes, hey, where are you
53:34
going? And I was like, we're going to
53:36
the Venetian and he's like, all right, you know, 20 bucks.
53:40
I'm like, all right, we jump in there and like by the time we
53:42
get out, was he doing a taxi? No, he wasn't.
53:45
We did that. Yeah.
53:48
Yeah. Really.
53:48
Yeah. Same thing and he.
53:50
Was like. Where you guys want to go and?
53:51
They just like looked at. Each other.
53:53
He's like, all right, all right, he goes.
53:54
It's going to take two hours to. Get.
53:59
Neighbor, I'll do it. For 20 wow, given this van.
54:02
And I'm like, it's Vegas. Yeah, immediately.
54:04
Like I. Get on my own maps.
54:06
Yeah, like map out. Where we were going to make sure
54:11
he was. Actually taking his revenue.
54:13
Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I had my suspicions
54:16
with that guy, right? So I sat in the back behind him
54:21
because. He was behind the guy.
54:23
Yeah, you were the guy behind the guy.
54:24
Exactly. He was ready to choke him out
54:26
with the seat. Belt I had to get that little
54:27
you. Know what I mean?
54:29
Or in your guys case little right?
54:35
Am I right though? I've never lived that life, but
54:40
yeah, I've heard about. It No, you guys don't whistle,
54:43
No. No, I mean I whistle, but not
54:45
that way. You.
54:46
Know. So how do we so back to kind of
54:49
why you guys are here to talk about great glory.
54:51
This Shane goes down this rabbit hole of how he doesn't speak
54:55
Spanish, doesn't like spicy food.
54:58
What? What else is really UN Mexican
55:00

55:01

e-mail to me and then I can, you know, send a contract, stuff
55:32

55:35
Wickenburg's special with the requirements, but I mean none of

56:17
Very cool. I like to, I like to go down
56:19
there. I like to go go there and check
56:21
it out the yeah. The whole the arena, Yeah, yeah.
56:24
It's a nice arena, yeah. We got to go check it out.
56:26
Maybe we could do like a little video, maybe like a week or two
56:29
before. Yeah, we can do that.
56:30
Go out there and yeah, record that.
56:32
Yeah, let's do it. Yeah.
56:33
Go make like a little video. Hold on real quick.
56:36
You did say that you rode, right?
56:37
Were you? Were you?
56:38
Were you riding? Bulls or so I always had that
56:41
like I was saying, I had that curiosity and I was like, dude,
56:43
let's just do it for the dad lore, like I I want to get on.
56:46
So I got, I got on three times. No, yeah, 3 * 3 times this last.
56:54
So that first time I went a super nervous man, but I had a
56:57
buddy who had helped me out the whole way.
56:58
He had all the gear and all that good stuff.
57:00
So went out to Roadrunner just on a random Thursday.
57:05
And then I was so nervous. But it's the funniest ride, too.
57:08
I couldn't. You know how you got to keep
57:10
your front arm? You know, your free arm, it's
57:12
kind of stiff, you know, nice moving, you know, helping
57:15
control your balance. Dude mine was just flopping up
57:18
and down. I'll send you the video, you can
57:19
cut it in. Oh yeah, yeah.
57:22
He spent the whole 8 seconds slapping the bull.
57:24
Not, not. 8 seconds slap, not slapping, but it's just jingling
57:28
up there. It's just, yeah, yeah.
57:33
So I had to go back and get my redemption the second time
57:36
around. So I got the ride, but then it
57:39
was funny and it was, it wasn't a, it wasn't a crazy.
57:41
You got a ride in your own event.
57:43
You know what I was thinking about it, but probably not.
57:46
Why? Probably not well.
57:49
Do it for the lower man. I know, I know, but imagine I
57:52
have to work the rodeo and I'm just all broken off to the side.
57:56
But imagine. But imagine.
57:58
Imagine if you rode out. One and one you're on a vet,
58:03
nobody will think it's rigged. Nobody will, your bull goes.
58:07
Out. He's going to be on that bull
58:08
that just walks out, get goes 8, gets a score of 50 and still
58:12
wins because nobody. Else rides, nobody else plays.
58:16
That'll be funny. I know we've been.
58:18
I always try to rope when we're out there, go roping.
58:20
This guy's always like, no, what if you win, dude, I can't catch
58:23
for Rudd. I very easily learned that not
58:26
to care because none of us are going to win.
58:27
Yeah. There's, there's some guys who
58:29
are real good out there. Oh.
58:30
Yeah, Oh yeah, Some of these kids, yeah, some of these kids
58:33
when they're walking into Dillons and they're just like
58:36
throwing on dummies and stuff, I'm like, damn.
58:37
Dude, we've had, we've had under a second.
58:41
For our really. Time Yeah, 0.75 seconds.
58:45
Wow. For a catch a clean, catch the
58:49
head and the heels. That's crazy.
58:50
Yeah, that was out at Roadrunner, but some guys off
58:53
the Reds came and snatched up that that winning.
58:55
We're used to that shit. They're going out to get dinner.
58:59
You laugh. I'm being serious.
59:00
Yeah. Yeah.
59:01
That's crazy. Man, some some people drive out
59:04
pretty far to come and rope with us.
59:05
We had one guy last night drive out five hours.
59:08
Wow, his entire family, dude and.
59:10
He puts on goat ropings on the rise.
59:12
Really. Yeah.
59:13
He just wanted to compete and not have the stress of putting
59:15
on an event. He said that they got snowed out
59:18
pretty much for the season. Yeah.
59:21
Have you guys ever thought of going up north?
59:23
Like going to like Williams Rodeo maybe?
59:26
Or we thought about the William Knight's Rodeo a little bit.
59:28
They just don't have the what's it called?
59:32
The demographic, The demographic for it.
59:35
Oh, OK. Or the everyone that goes there
59:38
is either a passerby just right in through the 60s.
59:40
I saw that there was a rodeo or not to see the 40 or the
59:45
contestants themselves. And I don't, I don't think they
59:48
do roping events up there right now.
59:50
They buck bulls. They buck Bronx.
59:52
No, not right now, but during. During the summer they do,
59:54
Summer they do. Yeah, did.
59:56
They yeah, the William Knights Radio, they did everything out
59:58
there. Oh, that's right.
59:59
They did. Yeah, Yeah.
1:00:01
Which it might be worth it for us to go check it out during the
1:00:03
summer, Yeah, but for sure, maybe during around the season,
1:00:08
you know, we have a good amount of people down here.
1:00:11
Yeah. Wickenburg and at Cave Creek.
1:00:13
And then we do private events, too.
1:00:15
We've had a couple, like nonprofits reach out to us and
1:00:17
they'll be like, hey, you know, mutton busting doesn't draw a
1:00:20
crowd as much as you guys do. You can come out and do it over
1:00:22
here. That's cool, you know.
1:00:25
That's awesome, yeah. Like we did 1:00 we we partnered
1:00:29
up with the nonprofit and basically we split our proceeds
1:00:31
half and half with them. We did a buckle series.
1:00:34
They they paid for our time to come out and they paid for the
1:00:36
buckles. And then everything that was
1:00:38
made there, we split 5050 with them back to the nonprofit.
1:00:41
Yeah. That's very cool.
1:00:42
Like that? Yeah.
1:00:44
For sure. Where, where can where can
1:00:47
