- 1:27>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 1:27>> Hunter Hoover: Why don't you tell us a little bit about who you are, and, uh, uh,
- 1:30and we can launch into it from there.
- 1:32>> Speaker A: Sure.
- 1:32>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 1:32>> Speaker A: So, my name's Richard.
- 1:33>> Speaker C: Um.
- 1:34>> Speaker A: Um, so I grew up in, um. Um, Salem. Um, um,
- 1:37well, I was born in Idaho, but, I mean, I moved to
- 1:39Salem when I was five.
- 1:41>> Speaker C: Um.
- 1:41>> Speaker A: Um, and then the place that hunter and I
- 1:44met would have been at Corbin University.
- 1:47Um, and so an interesting story there is,
- 1:50my dad used to be the resident director of Pruitt van
- 1:53Gilder, and so I lived on Corbin's campus from
- 1:56age five to, uh, about 13.
- 1:58>> Hunter Hoover: No way.
- 1:59>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 2:00>> Hunter Hoover: So I didn't know that.
- 2:01>> Speaker A: That's crazy. So that was my home. Um, was corbin.
- 2:04So I knew that when I graduated, I wanted to
- 2:07go there. And so then I ended up living in the same dorm that I grew up
- 2:10in.
- 2:10>> Hunter Hoover: That's crazy.
- 2:12>> Speaker A: Yeah. And so. But apart from
- 2:15that, um, I got into doing filmmaking
- 2:17when I was in middle school. We, uh, did a, uh,
- 2:21we did a church event, um,
- 2:24where instead of going to what was
- 2:27called, um, snowball at the public schools,
- 2:29the church held a no ball, which was like, a movie premiere
- 2:32night, and I was like, all right, yeah, good. Uh,
- 2:35and so you make little cheesy films,
- 2:38and then you, uh, take a limo from the back of the
- 2:41church, uh, to the front of the church. Um, and then
- 2:44people take your pictures and you show your movie. Well, our first one,
- 2:47we named it Zorro after Zoro because I guess we liked that movie at
- 2:50the time. And it was, like, 14
- 2:52minutes too long, and it was. It was awful,
- 2:55and it was just so cheesy. And, like, they ended
- 2:58up putting a time limit the following years after that. Um,
- 3:02but, but, yeah, we fell in love with movie making,
- 3:05and we were like, dude, let's. Let's continue doing
- 3:08this. And so, um. Yeah, yeah.
- 3:10Now, for the past, you know, let's see,
- 3:13we would have been probably 13 years old. So probably the past 20 years
- 3:16now, we've been doing filmmaking. Um,
- 3:19and not always full time. Right now it's full time,
- 3:22but, uh, we've probably made over 3000
- 3:25short films.
- 3:26>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, that's wild.
- 3:27>> Speaker A: Yeah, that's awesome. And people are always like, oh, how'd you
- 3:30guys do that? And we're like, well, we made two or three
- 3:33a week with friends coming home from school. They were never thought
- 3:36out. We just made stuff and then, you know, put it out there for people
- 3:39to see. And, um, yeah, it was.
- 3:42Wasn't until later on in life where we realized we could,
- 3:44you know, actually do a business doing video stuff.
- 3:47>> Hunter Hoover: Um, yeah, yeah. What, um, with that many,
- 3:50do you have, like, one or two that have been your absolute
- 3:53either favorites to make or your favorites kind of looking back
- 3:55on?
- 3:57>> Speaker A: I mean, we have a lot of favorites as far as, like, just when we
- 4:00were younger, even though they were cheesy, it's like, man, we just.
- 4:03We didn't care. We just went for it. There are certain ones that we
- 4:06definitely talk about more where it's like, we
- 4:09used to run around with complete, um, decked
- 4:12out sniper rifles with no orange tip
- 4:15and run around the street and no one batted an eye, you
- 4:18know? And so we're just a different time. Yeah, we're just shooting each other and
- 4:21it's like, oh, yeah, this is sick. And then we look back at it now and we're
- 4:24like, oh, boy.
- 4:25>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah.
- 4:27>> Speaker A: I think.
- 4:28>> Hunter Hoover: I think a lot of. I think a lot of guys our age
- 4:31have some sort of a problematic video like that
- 4:34somewhere out there. Um, there is
- 4:36definitely, uh, in high school,
- 4:39I want to say junior year, we were tasked with the
- 4:42great Gatsby, and we made a
- 4:45video essay. Instead of doing an
- 4:47essay, we made a video of a remake of
- 4:50Gatsby. Um, but
- 4:53for some reason, our interpretation of
- 4:56Gatsby really painted gun
- 4:58violence in an all new light.
- 5:01Uh, and so, you know, we're running around in Montana in the
- 5:04field. Like, it's. It's
- 5:06unhinged. Um, but, yeah, that's. Dude,
- 5:09that's fun sometimes. That's the, uh.
- 5:12Yeah, that's the fun stuff. Getting out there when you're
- 5:15young and then looking back and going, what was I doing?
- 5:18>> Speaker A: Did you grow up in Montana?
- 5:19>> Hunter Hoover: I did, yeah.
- 5:20>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 5:21>> Hunter Hoover: I, uh. I lived there until I left for
- 5:23Corbin. Um, so.

- 7:58kids, I still see some of them now, like, just on Facebook and
- 8:01stuff like that. They're like, you remember who I am. I'm like, of course I do.
- 8:04>> Speaker C: Yeah.

- 8:14>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 8:14>> Hunter Hoover: That's what I thought. I kept. I kept messaging you
- 8:17saying, yeah, Pacific standard time. I, uh. Because I
- 8:20know Arizona is weird. I got a buddy, um, that I
- 8:23do some bible podcasting stuff with, and he's
- 8:26in Phoenix, I think.
- 8:27>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 8:28>> Hunter Hoover: And he's like, yeah, we don't do a time change. And I said, man, that
- 8:31feels like. That feels so good. I wish we could figure that
- 8:33out.
- 8:34>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 8:35>> Speaker A: So, like, usually you guys are, like, an
- 8:37hour behind, but. Yeah, because your new
- 8:40time change, now we're at the same time again.
- 8:42>> Hunter Hoover: So good. It's very, so much, um.
- 8:46Yeah, so you guys have been doing. You and your.
- 8:49Your brother, um, have been. Have been
- 8:51doing full time or. Or next
- 8:54to full time video production? Yeah, I, um,
- 8:57know, I see a few things come through on
- 9:00social media and YouTube and things like that. Um,
- 9:03and do you
- 9:06guys. So do you guys have, like,
- 9:09a studio? What. What degree to which,
- 9:12like, how big is this? This is it.
- 9:15Riffle Brothers production?
- 9:16>> Speaker A: Is that. Yeah, so it's called riff video
- 9:19production.
- 9:19>> Speaker C: Yeah. Sweet. Sweet.
- 9:20>> Hunter Hoover: And so.
- 9:20>> Speaker A: And I just kind of tell the viewers where the name riff came from, because I know it's
- 9:23kind of like people like, oh, guitar riff.
- 9:25>> Hunter Hoover: Like, yeah, do it.
- 9:26>> Speaker A: Uh, but growing up in high school and college, so I have a
- 9:29twin brother. His name is Ryan, and so we do the business together.
- 9:31And people kept getting our names
- 9:34confused, which we didn't care. People asked us, they're like, do you
- 9:37get mad when people get your name wrong? I'm like, if that were true,
- 9:40I'd be a very angry person.
- 9:41>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
- 9:42>> Speaker A: Um, and so they just started calling us riff, and they
- 9:45called us both that, so that way, they want to get it confused.
- 9:48>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 9:48>> Speaker A: Um, and then we both answered to it either way.
- 9:51And, um, like I said, we never got offended or anything, but
- 9:54we were like, that's fine. And so especially into college. I
- 9:57started going by riff, and then eventually I was like, dude, let's
- 10:00just name our production company.
- 10:01>> Speaker C: That. That's awesome.
- 10:02>> Speaker A: That's what everybody knows us by. Anyway. Um, that's super cool.
- 10:05And so, yeah, so it's riff video productions. And,
- 10:08um, so my brother is a film
- 10:11teacher at a high school. Um, um, and he works part day. He
- 10:14was full time. Now he's doing part time. Um,
- 10:17um, and it's funny, he dropped out of college and no
- 10:19teaching degree. Um, and so
- 10:22two weeks before school started. His wife is a librarian
- 10:25there. And they were like, hey, the person who was that we
- 10:28interviewed who was doing it dropped out, and we only have two weeks
- 10:31left. They're like, will you do it? Like, I know we know you don't
- 10:34have experience or, like, anything with teaching, but we need somebody. And he goes,
- 10:37okay. And so now he's been doing it for the last three years.
- 10:40>> Hunter Hoover: Um, that's awesome.
- 10:41>> Speaker A: And he's like, turn the program completely around. And so
- 10:44that's super cool. Yeah, so it's pretty fun. And,
- 10:46um, but anyway, so he does that part time, and then,
- 10:49you know, right around noon, he'll come here, um,
- 10:52to our studio, aka my apartment,
- 10:55uh, in one of my bedrooms. Uh,
- 10:58so that's where we have it set up for the green screen and stuff. The house is
- 11:01a mess. Constant link. Because we're like, oh, let's set up these
- 11:04lights in the spog machine and do this all in the small little
- 11:07kitchen. And so there's just stuff
- 11:09everywhere.
- 11:10>> Hunter Hoover: That's super cool, though.
- 11:12>> Speaker A: So I will be excited to move out later this,
- 11:14um, later this month? Uh, yeah,
- 11:18in a couple months. And then we're gonna move to a house, and
- 11:21then most likely gonna be getting married, so.
- 11:24>> Hunter Hoover: Hey, there you go. That's awesome, dude. Well,
- 11:26congrats on. On that upcoming,
- 11:29uh, wedding, you guys. Are you guys in, like, full planning mode
- 11:32or.
- 11:33>> Speaker A: No, so I haven't. So we're supposed to be going
- 11:36to Mexico here,
- 11:38but I got sick, and she's sick, and we're like, well, we
- 11:41leave Friday morning, so we'll see if we feel good enough.
- 11:44But, um. But I was
- 11:47going to propose then, but the ring isn't here yet, so
- 11:50we've.
- 11:50>> Speaker C: We've.
- 11:51>> Speaker A: We're very, like, in communication with each other, so she's like,
- 11:53you know what? Let's. We'll just wait until the ring comes, and then, you
- 11:56know, then you could do something fun, and I was like, sick, and so we'll just wait till the ring
- 11:59comes, and when it happens, then we'll propose. But we are definitely in
- 12:02the, like, pre planning mode where it's like, okay.
- 12:05>> Hunter Hoover: We know we're gonna get engaged.
- 12:06>> Speaker A: It's not like, you know, you see those funny
- 12:09videos, especially when we were younger, where people propose at a basketball
- 12:12court and the girl runs away, and you're like, did
- 12:15you not talk about it beforehand? Like, uh, this was, like,
- 12:18a complete surprise. You're dating two months or something.
- 12:20>> Hunter Hoover: And so I I don't understand that. I
- 12:23like when Anna and I got together, we. I mean, we had
- 12:26multiple conversations when we started dating, to the point
- 12:29where, like, I half expected she was kind
- 12:32of at the point where it's like, yeah, it could be any day now. Like, we've talked about
- 12:35getting, getting married so many times that
- 12:38he has to, like, it has to be ready.
- 12:41And, uh, yeah, you are absolutely right. I don't understand
- 12:44the. The shock that some people experience.
- 12:46>> Speaker A: Yeah, there shouldn't be a shock factor. I
- 12:49mean, there should be made for how you do it, but not the
- 12:52idea that it's gonna happen.
- 12:53>> Hunter Hoover: Right, right. Um, well,
- 12:56so I have a few questions, and
- 12:59what usually. I'll tell you what usually happens, um, on
- 13:02the show is I'll begin asking questions, and then people are
- 13:05like, oh, actually, I got a story about that. Or, hey,
- 13:08I actually got something I got to say about that. Um,
- 13:11these, um, are just bathroom related questions.
- 13:14There's nothing too messy or wild. Um,
- 13:18uh, we'll just start off, and if you're like,
- 13:21oh, actually, I got a weird little story, feel free to stop me.
- 13:24Um, um, it's pretty open ended, uh, here, uh, on the
- 13:27show. But, uh, uh, the. The first thing I have for you is what,
- 13:30what type of toilet paper do you prefer?
- 13:33>> Speaker A: I think right now I have charmin.
- 13:35>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. The beautiful bears. You got red bag charming
- 13:38or blue bag?
- 13:39>> Speaker A: I think the blue one. Yeah, the bluish green one. I think
- 13:42that's classic charming. Or maybe it's angel soft, now that I
- 13:45think about it.
- 13:46>> Hunter Hoover: Okay.
- 13:47>> Speaker A: I don't really prefer a certain one. It's kind of like, I go to the
- 13:49store, I'm like, this one's cheaper for the price.
- 13:54>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
- 13:55>> Speaker A: Uh, even, like, right now, being sick. Like,
- 13:58I use toilet paper to blow my nose. Like, I don't usually
- 14:01use tissue boxes. I usually use toilet paper.
- 14:04Yeah, it's a little scruffier, but, like, look how much I
- 14:06have.
- 14:07>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 14:07>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, that's true. Well, and I always, uh. It's
- 14:10a good move. I'm always. I feel like maybe
- 14:13I'm buying the wrong toilet paper. But I feel like if I blow my
- 14:16nose on it because I have. I. I have allergies bad. And
- 14:19so, like, pretty much this time of year through October is
- 14:22just absolutely awful.
- 14:24>> Speaker A: Dude, I was so allergic to pollen and everything. There I
- 14:27was. I took allergy shots every week for
- 14:30two years, and it was just awful. Didn't help at all.
- 14:32>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah. But, like, I feel like toilet paper, it just
- 14:35disintegrates. And then I. And I have a beard, and so
- 14:38then I just get, like, the confetti.
- 14:40>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
- 14:41>> Hunter Hoover: Tp beard. And it's like, what are we doing? This.
- 14:44This has to be different.
- 14:46>> Speaker C: Um.
- 14:46>> Hunter Hoover: Um, so. So toilet paper. Uh, uh, angel
- 14:49soft. But you. But you're pretty. You're pretty agnostic when it
- 14:52comes to toilet paper. You're just kind of.
- 14:54>> Speaker C: You're.
- 14:54>> Hunter Hoover: You keep it simple.
- 14:55>> Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
- 14:56>> Speaker A: I don't really care too much. You know, there is that kind of,
- 14:59like, you go to, like, uh, uh, you know, public restrooms,
- 15:02and they're, like, super. I don't even know what
- 15:05it's made out of, but it's like, you can see through it, you know, and it's so
- 15:07skinny, and you're, like, you got to grab, like, half of
- 15:10it just to make it seem like you're doing something.
- 15:13>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, that's.
- 15:13>> Speaker C: That.
- 15:14>> Hunter Hoover: That stuff's not necessary. I, uh.
- 15:17Yeah, that. That's insane. Um, when it's on
- 15:20the roll, are you. Do you care if it goes
- 15:23over?
- 15:23>> Speaker A: Yeah, it goes over.
- 15:25>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 15:25>> Speaker A: Forward.
- 15:25>> Speaker C: Yeah. Okay.
- 15:26>> Speaker A: Not behind.
- 15:27>> Speaker C: Yep.
- 15:27>> Hunter Hoover: Oh. Why do you. Why do you feel that way?
- 15:30>> Speaker A: I think behind is just more annoying to grab it from.
- 15:33Like, I feel like if I pull it forward, it's kind of like you're
- 15:36pulling a rope or something. You know, you're pulling, like, over end
- 15:39like that. And so it's like, it's easier to get. But
- 15:42honestly, if we're being truthful here, most of the time, I don't
- 15:45even put it on the thing. I put it on my counter and
- 15:48just put my finger through the hole and then, like, rip it off that way.
- 15:51>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, like you creating your own roller.
- 15:53>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 15:54>> Speaker A: So, like, I mean, I'll put it, like, uh, straight down through it,
- 15:56and then, you know, I see what you're saying.
- 15:58>> Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, yeah.
- 15:59>> Speaker A: And then just pull it that way. Because sometimes it's easier because the
- 16:02apartments around here, it's like the toilet paper thing.
- 16:05It's really close to the toilet, so, like, I might as well just put it on the
- 16:08counter to where it's my height. Than just, like, do it that
- 16:11way.
- 16:11>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my gosh.
- 16:12>> Speaker A: Hashtag, uh, man cave. So when I get married, I know
- 16:15it will not be that way. And I think Marissa is
- 16:18a underperson. Uh, I feel like I've
- 16:21gone in my bathroom before and it switched and I'm
- 16:24like, what the?
- 16:25>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, I, you know, good for her. Um,
- 16:28there's a handful of us under people out there. I. So
- 16:31I'll tell you, I'm kind of like you when it comes to just toilet paper in
- 16:33general. I don't think it cares. And I've told Anna, I was like, listen, if
- 16:36I got it on the roll, I have
- 16:39succeeded, um, because I'm exactly
- 16:42with you. I will just set it on the little shelf and be like,
- 16:45it's fine. I'll just reach back, grab, pull off what I need.
- 16:48This is just an added step.
- 16:50>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 16:50>> Speaker A: Uh, and then I don't have to worry about when I'm trying to reload it.
- 16:53The spring just, like, explodes in your hand and it scares the
- 16:56crap out of you.
- 16:57>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Or I'm always afraid of, like, when I dump the little
- 16:59cardboard thingy in the trash of, like,
- 17:02the spring shooting the other end of the
- 17:05thingy in the trash too.
- 17:07>> Speaker C: Yep.
- 17:08>> Hunter Hoover: I'm like, then I gotta fish that out. I don't wanna deal with it.
- 17:10>> Speaker C: Um. Um.
- 17:11>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, well, very good.
- 17:13>> Speaker C: Um.
- 17:13>> Hunter Hoover: Um, so toilet paper over?
- 17:16>> Speaker C: Uh.
- 17:16>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, that's. Yeah, perfect.
- 17:19>> Speaker C: Um.
- 17:19>> Hunter Hoover: Um. Are you, are you a bar soap or a
- 17:22liquid soap lad?
- 17:23>> Speaker A: Like, uh, uh, recently it's been more bar
- 17:25soap.
- 17:26>> Hunter Hoover: Really?
- 17:27>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 17:27>> Hunter Hoover: Ah.
- 17:27>> Speaker A: So it was always kind of liquid growing up, but, yeah, you
- 17:30know, my dad always used bar soap and I was like, yeah, I don't, just don't
- 17:33see the reason for it, you know? Like, if I can get a three in one and watch
- 17:36my hair, body and everything and conditioner all in one.
- 17:39Great.
- 17:40>> Speaker C: Um.
- 17:40>> Speaker A: Um. And then it was like, just kind of more.
- 17:42>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 17:42>> Speaker A: The last couple years, it's been like, oh, I just take this thing in my hand
- 17:45and I can just, like, pretty much I'm just rubbing my hand around my
- 17:48body and it's working. So I'm like, this is, this is nice. So,
- 17:51yeah, now I'm, I think.
- 17:53>> Hunter Hoover: I think there's, there's an age at which people
- 17:56give up on the liquid soap life. I haven't, I
- 17:59haven't done it yet. I'm like, I'm, like, dying on
- 18:01this, but I find that there's people
- 18:04like, yeah, it's just a simpler way forward.
- 18:07>> Speaker C: Um. Um.
- 18:07>> Hunter Hoover: Have you ever carved messages in the bar soap.
- 18:10>> Speaker A: Oh, just like, with your fingers sometimes, but not.
- 18:13Not very often. Yeah, not like I
- 18:16sometimes mess with it.
- 18:17>> Speaker C: Dude, the.
- 18:18>> Speaker A: I got this, or my aunt gave me this. Um,
- 18:21it's like the bar soap, the sasquatch bar
- 18:24soap. Oh, yeah.
- 18:25>> Speaker C: I.
- 18:26>> Speaker A: This thing is so strong because I put it on, like, where I usually
- 18:29put it, like, in my shower with my other ones, just on the paint
- 18:32itself. I took it up the other day, and it ripped the
- 18:35paint off of the bathroom, and I was like, oh,
- 18:38my gosh. And so I had to figure out a strategic place to put it so I
- 18:41wasn't ripping the paint up.
- 18:42>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, man, that's crazy.
- 18:44>> Speaker A: I'm like, man, I'm putting this on my body. Sick.
- 18:46Yeah.
- 18:49>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Uh,
- 18:52so when did you. Was the. Was the
- 18:55message in the bar soap, was that a recent thing, or did you ever
- 18:58try that in your dad's bar soap or, like, no.
- 19:01To your brother?
- 19:02>> Speaker A: No, I mean, it wasn't ever, like, really, like, messages.
- 19:05It'd be just, like, put your fingernail on it and kind of, like,
- 19:08run it through real quick. But I never. Yeah, I never got into,
- 19:10like, doing full blown words or messages.
- 19:13>> Speaker C: Yeah. What.
- 19:14>> Speaker A: What are some of the messages you would write? Would you do it to your siblings and
- 19:17stuff?
- 19:18>> Hunter Hoover: I I would. I never. I've always been a
- 19:21liquid soap guy. I had a guy on the show a
- 19:24few years back that a, uh, year or two ago, and he
- 19:27said, yeah, I used. When I was a kid, I used to carve a message
- 19:30to my siblings, and then I had his brother
- 19:33on, and I said, hey,
- 19:36did you ever receive soap soap
- 19:39messages? And he goes, yeah, actually, that's weird that
- 19:41you asked that. I did. Like, uh, I
- 19:44would get messages on my bar soap. And he
- 19:47thought it was his dad
- 19:50because he was like, he would always say, wash
- 19:53better, or, you know, don't forget to wash your
- 19:56hair or something like that. And he's like, I always thought it was my mom
- 19:59or dad, you know, putting that in
- 20:02there. I was like, no, dude, it's your brother messing with you. Like,
- 20:05you. And so, like, on the show, he
- 20:08found out, you know, that it's his little brother
- 20:11just kind of screwing with him.
- 20:12>> Speaker A: That's, uh, hilarious.
- 20:13>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 20:13>> Hunter Hoover: So I. Yeah, I've. I've always been liquid soap.
- 20:16My dad always. He used that, like, irish spring
- 20:19green bar. Uh, that I feel
- 20:22like I. It's like the ubiquitous dad
- 20:25bar soap now in my brain. But,
- 20:28um. Um. But, yeah, I'm. I'm, like, I said, I'm still
- 20:31using liquid soap. I'm.
- 20:33>> Speaker A: My dad always used the, uh. Uh, I don't remember what the
- 20:36brand was. It was the white one, but it wasn't dove. It was
- 20:38like something else. Yeah,
- 20:41maybe it was an irish one, too, where it was, like, more of a white kind,
- 20:44though.
- 20:44>> Hunter Hoover: But instead of maybe an ivory.
- 20:46>> Speaker A: Yeah, maybe.
- 20:47>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 20:48>> Speaker A: I don't know. It's probably some. Probably the cheap ones that you find in
- 20:51a hotel.
- 20:53>> Hunter Hoover: Snag a few on your way out.
- 20:55>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 20:55>> Hunter Hoover: Um. How do you feel? How do you feel about baths?
- 20:58Taking a bath?
- 20:59>> Speaker A: I. I only took baths when I was younger, when my mom would
- 21:02bathe me or something like that. Um,
- 21:05or let's see. Did I do
- 21:08it for. Did a car accident a
- 21:11couple.
- 21:12>> Hunter Hoover: Ah, about.
- 21:13>> Speaker A: It was a while ago now. Almost like, probably eight months.
- 21:16Eight, nine months ago.
- 21:16>> Speaker C: Um.
- 21:16>> Speaker A: Um, but I. But I fractured a couple
- 21:19transverse process in my back. And so it was kind of one of
- 21:22those things where. And so those bones you can't
- 21:25bend. So, like, my girlfriend had to stay at the parents
- 21:28house for three weeks, and they, like, you know,
- 21:31like, in the middle of the night, she has to, like, put her arms underneath
- 21:34my back and slowly raise me up so I can sit
- 21:37all the way up and then slowly turn me. And it was just,
- 21:39like, super annoying. And now I'm fully healed, you know, by
- 21:42the grace of God. It's just like, no, I'm good, you know? And so.
- 21:45But I'm trying to think if I took any bass during that time. I
- 21:48don't think I did because I don't think I could have bend it enough. Taking a
- 21:51shower. Shower was still really difficult, but.
- 21:53>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 21:54>> Speaker A: Yeah.
- 21:54>> Hunter Hoover: Are you. Are you opposed to baths in any way, or are you just kind of
- 21:57like. Yeah, it just hasn't happened.
- 21:58>> Speaker A: I still see really the need for them. I mean,
- 22:01you're just like. Like, what people say and what, you know, I'm
- 22:04gonna say that you're just sitting in your own filth for, like, a long
- 22:07time.
- 22:08>> Hunter Hoover: Yep. It. That's the biggest
- 22:10barrier for me. I, um. I'm almost to the
- 22:13point where I won't even. I won't even mess with
- 22:16the swimming pool. Like, I mean, I will,
- 22:19but I've read. Doing research for this
- 22:22show. I've read so much about the things that go on
- 22:24and the things that seep into a swimming pool that I'm like,
- 22:27oh, no, a swimming pool was.
- 22:29>> Speaker A: Like McDonald's ball pit.
- 22:31>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 22:32>> Hunter Hoover: Yep, yep.
- 22:33>> Speaker A: I'm the same way. I'm not a big water fan anyways, so
- 22:36not not like showers.
- 22:38>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 22:38>> Speaker A: I'll stand in there forever, but, uh, like, as far
- 22:41as, like, swimming and going in pools or rivers or lakes
- 22:44and stuff, I don't really care for it.
- 22:47>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. So. So big fan of showers.
- 22:49>> Speaker C: I have.
- 22:50>> Hunter Hoover: I have a number of shower questions because I. I am also. I
- 22:53love showers, and I have spent probably too much time
- 22:56thinking and curating my. My little
- 22:58shower umbrella of what I enjoy.
- 23:01So, have you ever. Number one. Have you ever taken a dark
- 23:04shower, just in the dark?
- 23:07>> Speaker C: Um.
- 23:07>> Speaker A: Um, if I did, it was only because college students would turn off the
- 23:10lights.
- 23:10>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 23:11>> Hunter Hoover: Okay, so, when I was at Corbin, um. Um,
- 23:14do you remember. Do you remember Matt Gibson?
- 23:16>> Speaker A: Yes. Yes. Because Matt Gibson and
- 23:19Andrew would. Was the duo, and they do their ping
- 23:22pong stuff, and.
- 23:23>> Hunter Hoover: Yep, yep.
- 23:24>> Speaker A: Then they do the push pass and Frisbee.
- 23:26>> Speaker C: Yeah. Uh oh. Yeah.
- 23:26>> Hunter Hoover: Yep.
- 23:27>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 23:27>> Hunter Hoover: So, Matt Gibson, he
- 23:30tipped our haul off to. To the dark shower,
- 23:33and he. We would walk in, and there'd be a line of
- 23:36four showers all running, all full of
- 23:38guys. Lights off completely.
- 23:41And everybody knew, like, if you walked in and the showers run,
- 23:44it do not hit the lights, because we have, like,
- 23:47this echo chamber now of, uh. It's
- 23:49like. It's like the sensory deprivation things,
- 23:52but it's so ingrained now that I still
- 23:55shower with the light off, and
- 23:58it drives on a nuts because she'll walk in. I'm like, don't turn the
- 24:01light on. Like, just.
- 24:04You got to give it a second.
- 24:06>> Speaker A: That's funny. No, I. Not in that kind of
- 24:08way ever.
- 24:09>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 24:10>> Speaker A: Uh, it's worth it. I have to try it. And
- 24:13it's a small bathroom, so I know no one's coming in if I lock the door, you know?
- 24:15Well, no one else lives here, but, you know, you still, like, lock the
- 24:19front door, my bedroom door, and then the bathroom door. Like that's gonna do
- 24:21anything.
- 24:22>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, that's. What's the other
- 24:25thing? It's like, okay, uh, when we lived in. When
- 24:27we lived in those saddle ridge or saddle
- 24:31whatever.
- 24:31>> Speaker A: Saddle club. Saddle club apartments.
- 24:33>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 24:33>> Speaker A: I used to live in those two.
- 24:34>> Hunter Hoover: Anna and I, we. She was always like, make sure you lock the door if you're gonna get a
- 24:37shower, in case, you know, you don't want someone to come in. I'm
- 24:40like, Anna, if they are coming in,
- 24:43for whatever reason, they're gonna. The locks at
- 24:46this place are doing nothing. They're gonna. They're gonna be in
- 24:49here, like.
- 24:50>> Speaker A: And the light switches on the outside.
- 24:53>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
- 24:55>> Speaker A: Like, my friends would be taking showers, and you randomly hit the light. And you hear they
- 24:58go, ah. You know, or something like that. And you're like, why did
- 25:00you design this light switch in the hallway that runs the
- 25:03bathroom?
- 25:04>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 25:04>> Hunter Hoover: That's. That's wild.
- 25:06>> Speaker C: Um.
- 25:06>> Hunter Hoover: Um, I could not answer that question for
- 25:09you. Have you ever. Have you ever had a snack in the
- 25:11shower?
- 25:14>> Speaker C: Um. Um.
- 25:15>> Speaker A: I mean, I'm sure I have. If anything, it's been like, I'm finishing a
- 25:18cookie or something like that.
- 25:19>> Hunter Hoover: Okay. Oh, wow.
- 25:21>> Speaker A: I'm a big sugar person. So big sweet person. I have cookies right next to
- 25:24me right now.
- 25:24>> Hunter Hoover: That's awesome.
- 25:25>> Speaker C: What's your.
- 25:26>> Hunter Hoover: What's your go to cookie?
- 25:27>> Speaker A: I mean, a chocolate chip, for sure. My mom makes
- 25:30oatmeal. Oatmeal cookies. Not oatmeal. What
- 25:33do they call it?
- 25:33>> Speaker C: No.
- 25:34>> Speaker A: Bake cookies.
- 25:34>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my gosh. Yeah, those are. Those are, like,
- 25:38some of my favorites. That's awesome.
- 25:39>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 25:39>> Speaker A: So I have some of those right now because you just made them and sent them to us
- 25:42and, um, for Easter.
- 25:44Um.
- 25:46>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, man. Easter snuck up on
- 25:49me this year.
- 25:49>> Speaker A: I it's earlier than it was last year,
- 25:52too, though.
- 25:53>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 25:53>> Speaker A: Like, it's like a month earlier than it was last year.
- 25:56>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. I could not believe it. We were. We were looking
- 25:59at him like, we got to get stuff ready.
- 26:01>> Speaker C: We're.
- 26:02>> Hunter Hoover: We're less than a week out. Uh,
- 26:03uh, yeah.
- 26:05>> Speaker A: You gotta hide eggs for your kids.
- 26:07>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, we still gotta pack eggs, guy. We're not
- 26:10even. We are. We are very far
- 26:12behind. Um, so one of the. One of the shower
- 26:15snacks I have tell everybody about is. Is an
- 26:18orange in the shower. Um, um, but
- 26:21you eat it like, you eat an apple. So instead of, like, you peel it,
- 26:24like normal.
- 26:25>> Speaker A: Sure. But then you don't take away the slices.
- 26:26>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just. You just kind of eat and
- 26:29the juice just goes. But it's, like, the
- 26:32only time that you can risk free do that.
- 26:35>> Speaker A: That's usually so sticky.
- 26:37>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 26:38>> Speaker A: By the end of it.
- 26:38>> Speaker C: And so. Yeah.
- 26:39>> Hunter Hoover: So I have to spread my. My gospel of
- 26:42shower orange, I guess. And the good news
- 26:46also, uh, in the shower, have you any drinks? Because I.
- 26:49That's the other thing. I'm, like, big proponent of a
- 26:52drink in the shower.
- 26:53>> Speaker C: Really?
- 26:54>> Speaker A: No, I don't think so. No, really? Drinks.
- 26:56Yeah. The only time I'll ever have, like,
- 26:59drinks of any, like, with water is, like, if I go.
- 27:02When I go back home, my parents live in a 55 and older
- 27:05community, and so then they have a hot tub there, and so then
- 27:08I'll bring, like, cold water with me. So that way I can sit in it and then
- 27:11be drinking cold water and like, yeah, but that.
- 27:14Yeah, that's kind of it. Otherwise, I'm just drinking the. Actually, around
- 27:17here, I don't really drink the water from the faucet because
- 27:20Arizona water is just gross.
- 27:22>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 27:22>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, really?
- 27:23>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 27:23>> Speaker A: Organ water is great. Like, I drink from the tap anytime. But around
- 27:26here, like, you fill it up and it looks like
- 27:29lemonade, you know, and you're like, something wrong?
- 27:32It's not yellow. That yellow, but it's very thick and very,
- 27:35like, very. All the metal.
- 27:37>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Yeah, that's
- 27:39gross. Um, I grew up where I was at in
- 27:42Montana. We had that bad,
- 27:45like, to the point where our. Our little
- 27:48town, which was. It was. Everything's all
- 27:50separated, but they put out a do not drink notice at one
- 27:53point, they're like, hey, don't drink
- 27:56it. Don't even use it to cook. It's,
- 27:59like, for washing only.
- 28:01>> Speaker A: Wow.
- 28:01>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, yeah, it was wild, but,
- 28:04um, in the shower. Have
- 28:07you ever performed a waffle stomp?
- 28:10>> Speaker A: I don't. I don't think so, but I. I don't
- 28:13know what that is with. Let's go with a little, uh.
- 28:16Uh, with the little grater.
- 28:17>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, yeah. So
- 28:20a waffle stomp is. And this is where the
- 28:23show kind of. It always takes a turn. I can,
- 28:26um. You just kind of poop right into
- 28:29the bottom of the shower.
- 28:30>> Speaker C: Oh.
- 28:30>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah.
- 28:31>> Hunter Hoover: And then you just stomper down.
- 28:33>> Speaker C: Wow.
- 28:34>> Speaker A: Uh, nope. I. I don't think I could in these because it's so.
- 28:37It's such a great, like, it would just go. It would
- 28:40just, like, go and then just explode.
- 28:42>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, yeah.
- 28:43>> Speaker A: No, so I don't think I even could now I've peed in the shower.
- 28:46Absolutely. You know, I mean, I'm talking just
- 28:49like, you know, you kind of learn that from Jimmy neutron.
- 28:52>> Hunter Hoover: Right.
- 28:53>> Speaker A: You know, you see, you see Shane doing. He's like, go, go. What a
- 28:55great idea.
- 28:58>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. I. I don't know when it started,
- 29:01but I, like, I think it's just about
- 29:04every shower now. I just am like, yeah, I'm
- 29:06here, and. And I'll even go before
- 29:09I get in the shower. And then I get in the shower and the water starts, and I'm like,
- 29:12well, I gotta go again. I'm not gonna get out.
- 29:15We're letting it ride.
- 29:17>> Speaker A: Wow. I think. I think from the difference between me and you, you can
- 29:20tell who grew up in Davidson.
- 29:24And were you Davidson and Ferrari?
- 29:26>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, I was David.
- 29:27>> Speaker C: Okay. That's what I thought. Yeah.
- 29:28>> Speaker A: So who was the lumberjack Davidson. And then
- 29:31you Purit van Gilder. Men. You know, the
- 29:34talent show.
- 29:35>> Speaker C: Oh, man.
- 29:35>> Hunter Hoover: Um. Oh, I have to ask you a question about
- 29:38the weird toilet and PVG. Do you know what I'm talking
- 29:41about? The, like, basement toilet.
- 29:44>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. There was one down that did something. I can't
- 29:47remember. I was never a basement boy, but
- 29:50yeah.
- 29:50>> Hunter Hoover: Cause Bradley troll was telling me about it. He's like, yeah,
- 29:53there's this weird bathroom in basement PVG.
- 29:56And there was like a loose toilet just without
- 29:58a stall. And then people would come in there
- 30:01and it was just like a hole in the floor and a toilet.
- 30:04Weird that. Yeah, it was like a, it was like a shower
- 30:07drain right in the middle of the floor and a toilet and a sink.
- 30:10And people would be in there and then they.
- 30:13Everybody just peed down that, that center drain,
- 30:17I guess. And I was like, what? That's crazy.
- 30:20>> Speaker A: I never, I've been in those bathrooms before, but I never saw
- 30:23that hidden treasure,
- 30:26was it?
- 30:27>> Hunter Hoover: I have a question about growing up there. Was it weird,
- 30:30like being a little kid
- 30:32around kind of college kids that much?
- 30:35>> Speaker A: No, not at all. Because we were just so.
- 30:38Ryan and I are so sociable that it never mattered. Like, we
- 30:41would be selling our Bb Beanie babies for a dollar, you know,
- 30:44out there, like for a little sale. And kids, you know,
- 30:47guys, girls would grab them and we would help our
- 30:50dad. It was weird because dad, because my mom worked in
- 30:53the mail room. My dad was the resident director of both the girls side and
- 30:56the guy side. So, like, if they were girl problems, he would have
- 30:59to go down the girls hall and the old man on the floor and go fix stuff
- 31:02and do stuff. So it was very strange times, you know, it's like,
- 31:05usually now it's kind of like you have like Corey on one side and the wife
- 31:08on the other or something. But, um.
- 31:10>> Hunter Hoover: Right, right.
- 31:11>> Speaker A: You know, or Ben and Nicole. It was kind of like that.
- 31:12>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, that is, that is interesting.
- 31:14>> Speaker A: But, um. But yeah, we just did everything with our,
- 31:17with her dad and with the students and stuff like that. And then
- 31:20later on in life, you know, we see some of those college students. They're
- 31:23like, I remember when you guys were this little and, you know, and it's
- 31:26like, everybody says that and that's crazy
- 31:29there. Or they're like, you guys are so cute.
- 31:30>> Speaker C: What happened?
- 31:31>> Speaker A: I'm like, hahaha. You know, it's like.
- 31:38>> Hunter Hoover: You'Re like, oh.
- 31:39>> Speaker A: Yeah, well, we loved it. No, yeah,
- 31:42so, like, but it was fun because. Yeah,
- 31:45but we loved it because it was like,
- 31:47so Davidson and Balio didn't exist and it was
- 31:50just a forest. And so it was just a hill forest. Used
- 31:53to ride my bikes around. Uh, wow. And
- 31:56then, let's see, the chapel didn't exist. The
- 31:59clock tower didn't exist.
- 32:01>> Speaker C: Um.
- 32:02>> Hunter Hoover: That's crazy. That's super cool to like.
- 32:04>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 32:05>> Hunter Hoover: Have, ah, that history and kind of watch that.
- 32:08>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 32:08>> Speaker A: And my parents went there, too, so schimmel,
- 32:13not, um, shimmel. The AC building was PVG.
- 32:16Um, that's where my dad stayed for dorms. And my dad
- 32:19was a little bit of a. They tell you a funny story. A prank that.
- 32:22Yeah, he did a couple pranks, but, um. Um, yes, um,
- 32:25but yeah, the dorms were all
- 32:28around. Chapel was in the gym. Even when I was
- 32:30a kid, chapels up. Up in the gym.
- 32:33Wow. And so, but you know that,
- 32:36uh, in the library, that echoey stairwell?
- 32:39>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, yeah.
- 32:40>> Speaker A: Um, so when it was a dorm, my dad, in the middle of the
- 32:42night, put a firecracker in it and a line of vicalis
- 32:45gel, so it burns really slow. So he lit up and
- 32:48was able to go back up into his bed until it just went off into
- 32:51that stairwell.
- 32:53>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my God.
- 32:54>> Speaker A: Waking everybody up, so.
- 32:56>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my goodness. That would
- 32:59be amazing,
- 33:03dude. Yeah, we, we had, we had a guy in
- 33:06Davidson that lit a sparkler in his
- 33:08room, which, that. I'm
- 33:11not, I'm not like a fire. I'm not worried
- 33:14about stuff generally. The only problem
- 33:17was they had those, like,
- 33:20facilities, say fire alarms, uh, and
- 33:23any, like, we weren't even. You can't even have candles because
- 33:26it would smell it and just set it off
- 33:28and it set it off. And so it's like
- 33:3211:00 at night. Cleared the dorms. We're all standing in
- 33:34the parking lot in the rain. The fire truck has to come and reset
- 33:37the thing and it's like, oh, my gosh, we
- 33:40not some kid's birthday.
- 33:43He was. They were trying to celebrate and they. Oh, it was one of those,
- 33:46like, never ending candles that just keeps lighting. Oh,
- 33:49yeah, you blow it out.
- 33:50>> Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
- 33:51>> Hunter Hoover: And those just create so much smoke because it's like it
- 33:54never ends and. Yeah, that's what it was.
- 33:57>> Speaker A: Um, dude, that when I was younger in
- 33:59PVG, there, there were students throwing a frisbee
- 34:02around in the top floor of the hallway and they hit one of
- 34:05those and it just gushed out water. And
- 34:08so it went from the second floor, seeped down into
- 34:11the first floor, and then down to the basement.
- 34:14It's like, oh, uh, boy.
- 34:16>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, that's such a disaster that,
- 34:19uh, I. That stuff gives me, like,
- 34:22it's not even my building, but it just gives me
- 34:25anxiety knowing.
- 34:26>> Speaker C: Uh.
- 34:26>> Speaker A: Yeah.
- 34:28>> Speaker C: Um.
- 34:29>> Hunter Hoover: Wow. Follow
- 34:31up question to the waffle stomp. Would you ever perform
- 34:34one if presented with the need?
- 34:38>> Speaker A: Probably not. No, I just. Yeah, I wouldn't have a reason
- 34:41to, like.
- 34:41>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 34:42>> Speaker A: Either before the shower or I just hold it and
- 34:45wait, you know, like, so
- 34:48with me, like, man, if you want to get into, like, some
- 34:50serious personal bathroom stuff, like, that's
- 34:53what you're ready for.
- 34:54>> Hunter Hoover: I know, but, like, oh, yeah.
- 34:55>> Speaker A: My brother and I, like, we grew up having a
- 34:58drink, uh, this clear, liquid stuff. I don't know what it was, but it was
- 35:01to, like, help you go to the bathroom or something like that. But, like, I don't
- 35:04go every day. Sometimes it'll be, like, two or three days
- 35:07really, before I go.
- 35:08>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 35:08>> Speaker A: And so here, I'll tell you something personal for the. For the
- 35:11viewers that I've only told, like, a few people. So if you want to
- 35:14go that route. Ryan
- 35:17and I used to. We don't anymore,
- 35:20but because of the way our toilet work, too, and our
- 35:22duplex, it would get clogged really easily. So, like,
- 35:25we would just poop and then take a trash bag and
- 35:28pull it out and then go throw it away.
- 35:31>> Hunter Hoover: Wild.
- 35:32>> Speaker C: Like.
- 35:33>> Hunter Hoover: Like, almost like dog poo.
- 35:35>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 35:35>> Hunter Hoover: In the yard.
- 35:36>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 35:36>> Speaker A: And so you just have to grab it because it'd be just so massive. And
- 35:39so I'm honestly surprised. Like, my
- 35:42toilets here, sometimes I poop, and I'm like, dude,
- 35:44if this thing flushes, this thing is amazing, and it flushes
- 35:47perfectly. And I'm like, dude, what is up with this toilet? Like, how is that
- 35:50possible?
- 35:51>> Hunter Hoover: So you're. So you're like, that's crazy.
- 35:53>> Speaker C: That.
- 35:54>> Hunter Hoover: That is. You are the first person to ever doggy
- 35:57scoop there. Yeah. Uh, here we are.
- 35:59>> Speaker C: Yep.
- 36:00>> Hunter Hoover: But so you're going, like,
- 36:03you're not going every day?
- 36:05>> Speaker A: No.
- 36:06>> Hunter Hoover: So that is it just, like, building up
- 36:08because.
- 36:09>> Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
- 36:10>> Speaker A: I mean, it's just. It's not even a feeling to like, oh, wow, I gotta
- 36:13go. Like, the. Sometimes the feeling for a couple days, it doesn't
- 36:16come so that you just, like, you don't think about it, and then
- 36:18all of a sudden, I'll be like, oh, huh. You know, I haven't pooped two days.
- 36:21Maybe I should.
- 36:23>> Hunter Hoover: That is wild because I'm, like,
- 36:26to overshare. I'm like, at least if
- 36:29I haven't gone three times in a day, there is something
- 36:32wrong. Like, I have eaten
- 36:35something that has done something to me
- 36:38because I genuinely, and I don't know what it is.
- 36:41I drink. I drink a fair amount of coffee. Uh, um, which
- 36:43I think does something to that. But, like,
- 36:47yeah, truly, like two or three, sometimes four times a
- 36:50day, easy.
- 36:50>> Speaker A: Like, yeah,
- 36:53yeah, definitely. Definitely opposite spectrum for
- 36:56us.
- 36:58>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, you're.
- 36:59>> Speaker C: Wow.
- 36:59>> Hunter Hoover: That is, I guess. But yours is also,
- 37:02like, building to this critical mass where it's like, yeah,
- 37:05yeah, there's. It's impressive.
- 37:07>> Speaker A: And then when you release, it's like, oh, yeah, this is good stuff.
- 37:10That's crazy.
- 37:11>> Hunter Hoover: That's wild. Yeah.
- 37:12>> Speaker C: Um.
- 37:12>> Hunter Hoover: Um, so the.
- 37:16Do you have any bathroom pet peeves?
- 37:18>> Speaker A: Uh, uh.
- 37:19>> Hunter Hoover: Things that people do in the bathroom where when you walk in, you see it, you're
- 37:22like, can we not, um.
- 37:24>> Speaker A: Um. I just think, like, I mean,
- 37:27then again, I do it with my mind, too, but
- 37:30it's like, if you're having, like, people over
- 37:33and it's the bathroom that kids also share and stuff like that, too. And
- 37:36so it's just like, you know, kids stuff everywhere.
- 37:39Like toys everywhere? Like, yeah, um, probably
- 37:42biggest. It's not necessarily pet peeves. Sometimes people for just
- 37:45forget they're having people over. But when you go to the bathroom and you wash your
- 37:48hand and there's no hand towel, so it's like,
- 37:51I'm like, do I just wipe it on this person's towel that's hanging
- 37:54up? You know, like.
- 37:57Or if that's not there either, I'm like, well, I guess
- 38:00just my own clothes. Totally fine.
- 38:02>> Speaker C: Uh.
- 38:02>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, yeah, that is annoying.
- 38:04Uh, did your brother ever do anything that drove you nuts growing
- 38:07up bathroom related?
- 38:09>> Speaker C: No.
- 38:10>> Speaker A: See, like, so our thing, it was very surprising. We grew
- 38:12up, you know, in Salem, like, at. This was
- 38:15after the corbin experience, when we moved into a
- 38:18duplex. And it was a,
- 38:21like, I don't know what the size of your bathroom is, but, like, it
- 38:24was so small. Like, it was like, oh, really? Like the counter,
- 38:27the one little sink counter. Touch the toilet, which touched the bathtub, you
- 38:30know, and it was like, okay, but all. But it was just one
- 38:33bathroom, the whole place. So all four of us shared that bathroom, and
- 38:36not once did any of us ever, like, complain about it. You know, it's
- 38:39just like, oh, yeah, we have to share his bathroom. This is what it is. And so we
- 38:42grew up with that. And so, yeah, which I'm very thankful for,
- 38:45because now I go to other people's houses. Like, anybody else's
- 38:48house that's bigger than the duplex. I'm like, wow.
- 38:51You know, especially big bathrooms. I'm like, holy cow, like,
- 38:54look at.
- 38:54>> Hunter Hoover: All this room in here. Yeah, well, and it.
- 38:57That's. It preps you for having
- 39:00roommates or having spouse or, you
- 39:03know, whoever you're gonna share a bathroom with.
- 39:06It really gets you ready.
- 39:08>> Speaker A: Yeah.
- 39:09>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 39:09>> Hunter Hoover: I I'm forever thankful to Chad Nix
- 39:12because I, like, I grew up. I kind of had my
- 39:15own bathroom in our house just because of, like, the way
- 39:18the house was laid out. And so, like, I
- 39:21got to. Davidson was like, here are all the guys you have a
- 39:24bathroom with. And I was like, ah. And I was fine with it. Like, I'm
- 39:27pretty, um, I'm
- 39:29pretty. I'm probably too comfortable with,
- 39:32like, bathroom, everything. Uh, um,
- 39:35hence this show. Uh, but
- 39:38like, yeah, it was just like, oh, okay,
- 39:40so this is every. Everyone's full and taking
- 39:4320 minutes. So
- 39:46my options are pee in the shower or
- 39:49hold it. And, you know,
- 39:52Davidson, we were. We were not
- 39:55the most sophisticated people.
- 39:56>> Speaker A: People.
- 39:57>> Hunter Hoover: And I'll own that.
- 39:59Um, I'm pretty sure someone pooped into a
- 40:02Walmart bag at one point because somebody had put
- 40:05the toilet out of commission. And here we
- 40:08are. You know, it's. It's Davidson.
- 40:11>> Speaker C: Chad.
- 40:11>> Speaker A: Chad was your ra, right?
- 40:13>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, Chad Nix was my roommate for two
- 40:16years and then I don't, I don't remember if he
- 40:19ever got into Ra. I know I had Travis Rulin
- 40:22with me my sophomore year there as
- 40:25a roommate and then he definitely went into doing ra.
- 40:27>> Speaker C: Oh, that's.
- 40:30>> Hunter Hoover: He's so funny.
- 40:31>> Speaker A: Dude is like, he married, uh, what's western? Uh,
- 40:35didn't he marry someone? Lauren or something?
- 40:37>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, I don't know. I. Last I heard,
- 40:40he has a girlfriend, but he lives in, like,
- 40:42Japan maybe. I think she is
- 40:45japanese. Um, yeah, I'm
- 40:48not sure. I. Chad married Savannah, uh,
- 40:51stoner.
- 40:52>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 40:52>> Hunter Hoover: Um, um, yeah, uh, uh,
- 40:55Hayden herring married nim, I think.
- 40:58>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 40:59>> Hunter Hoover: Is her name, but yeah, I I'm not sure,
- 41:01but okay, I think maybe.
- 41:04>> Speaker A: I know who you're talking about now. Okay.
- 41:05>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah, tall guys, but, um, um,
- 41:08yeah, well, that. Yeah, your
- 41:11dad lighting that. Uh, do you have. Do you
- 41:14have a restaurant or, like an establishment
- 41:17that does you dirtiest that just fouls up
- 41:20your. Your tummy?
- 41:22>> Speaker A: Um,
- 41:26not that I can think of. I mean, I know, I
- 41:29know eventually here, like, when. When I get married.
- 41:32Marissa, uh, loves cooking food. Um, and they're
- 41:34hispanic, so, like, you know, it's gonna be
- 41:37a lot of mexican food. And that's actually, like,
- 41:40mexican food is like, growing up in Oregon. Probably one
- 41:43of my least favorite things just because.
- 41:45>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, really?
- 41:46>> Speaker A: It just wasn't a lot of mexican stuff. Like, you know, especially
- 41:48airmark. We didn't go down. We're like, yeah, it's mexican day. Like, we never
- 41:51have that kind of stuff. It was so americanized and
- 41:54so right. So she's gotten me to a lot more now, and I
- 41:57like it. But I guarantee you, once we get married and start cooking
- 42:00tons of mexican stuff all the time. Oh, I'm sure that I'll probably
- 42:03start going every day.
- 42:07>> Speaker C: Clear.
- 42:07>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
- 42:08>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 42:09>> Hunter Hoover: Well, that's, uh, your. Your
- 42:11intestinal situation just sounds like it's a.
- 42:14Well, well running, like, nuclear
- 42:16machine.
- 42:18>> Speaker A: Yeah.
- 42:18>> Hunter Hoover: Anything can go in and
- 42:21rock steady.
- 42:23>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah, for the most part. I know there are. I just can't
- 42:26think of them right now. But I know there are places for sure that I'm like, oh,
- 42:28my stomach doesn't feel as great as usual.
- 42:32>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, I mean, that's not even bad. Like, there's places where
- 42:35if I. Like, I know if I'm going to Panda Express,
- 42:39I'm essentially signing up for an afternoon of,
- 42:42like, I got to be near a toilet.
- 42:44>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
- 42:44>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 42:44>> Speaker A: That's fair.
- 42:45>> Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah.
- 42:46>> Hunter Hoover: Like, I don't get sick, but I just.
- 42:49For some. Something about it, it just goes. It just. It
- 42:51travels fast.
- 42:52>> Speaker A: Yeah.
- 42:53>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, you know what?
- 42:53>> Speaker C: That's.
- 42:54>> Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. With panda, I'll go more
- 42:57often if I have panda now. It's even been,
- 43:00like, if I have, like, a certain muffin in the
- 43:02morning sometimes, that'll make me, like, my stomach be like, oh, like,
- 43:05I don't feel as great. Like, I should probably go to the bathroom or something.
- 43:08>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
- 43:09>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 43:10>> Hunter Hoover: The. I think. I think as we get older, that's.
- 43:13That's kind of the trend, because I know, like, back in
- 43:16the helping out with youth group days and early, early
- 43:18corbin days, I could, you know, these teenagers, they'll eat half a
- 43:21pizza, and I was like, bed, I'll eat half a pizza,
- 43:24too. And now I'll have pizza out for the teens I work
- 43:27with. If I get two slices deep, I'm
- 43:30struggling to, like, not
- 43:32boo myself an hour later.
- 43:34>> Speaker A: Oh, no. Yeah, some kids are
- 43:37crazy dudes. Like, Sam Bagenstas. Like,
- 43:40yes, dude, he can, uh. So he ended up
- 43:43moving here to Tucson, and we roomed together for a while, and
- 43:46he, uh, uh, did. Like, it'll. It would
- 43:48be. It'd be crazy. You're just excited that we
- 43:51room together.
- 43:54>> Hunter Hoover: I think I had him on this show when y'all were rooming
- 43:57together.
- 43:57>> Speaker A: Oh, maybe. Oh, probably.
- 43:59>> Hunter Hoover: I think it. I think so. But anyway, yeah,
- 44:02Sam.
- 44:02>> Speaker A: But, I mean, he can eat
- 44:05just so much food and so much sugar, too. Like, he's pretty fit,
- 44:08and, like, especially from his trail hike and trail,
- 44:11uh, work and stuff like that. But, like, there would be times
- 44:14where I would buy, like, a pack of oreos, like,
- 44:17and then I would, like, eat two, and then,
- 44:20like, the next day, like, it's
- 44:22gone. And he, like, ate all of it, and
- 44:25I was like, like, I can eat, like, two or three and be like, yeah, that's
- 44:28good for the day.
- 44:30>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 44:30>> Speaker A: It used to be a lot more when I was younger, but especially now. And I'm
- 44:33just like, how's that possible? And, like, so anything I
- 44:36had for cookies, out, if you saw it, like, they were gone.
- 44:39>> Hunter Hoover: Sam's goblin.
- 44:40>> Speaker A: So, like. But he can just eat so much food. And I'm like, dude,
- 44:43you're a small little dude. And, like, it's not like he's gaining weight. He still
- 44:46looks great. And I'm like, yeah, how? Like,
- 44:49that's crazy. I can't do that. I'm the same way. Like, one or two piece
- 44:52pizza pieces in, and I'm like, yeah, I'm good.
- 44:54>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 44:54>> Speaker A: You know, my girlfriend can eat a lot more than me, that's for sure.
- 44:58>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, dude, it's my. Oh, yeah. Uh,
- 45:00my daughter will out eat my son almost any
- 45:03day of the week. Like, it's crazy. I
- 45:06don't know where she puts it. She's like
- 45:09a foot shorter than him, and it's like,
- 45:13son, figure it out. Like,
- 45:16she. My daughter's just, like, more spaghetti. She'll eat spaghetti
- 45:19all day.
- 45:21>> Speaker A: How old are your kids? I can't remember.
- 45:23>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, my son's seven, and my daughter's five.
- 45:25>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 45:26>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
- 45:27>> Speaker C: That's sick.
- 45:27>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, they keep me busy.
- 45:29>> Speaker A: Oh, I'm sure they do.
- 45:30>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, they. They stayed the night at grandma's last night, and
- 45:33that's why when you were like, well, maybe I said whole, we
- 45:35can. We got this. Because
- 45:38if I try to regain an honest at work, and so, like, if I try
- 45:41to record, they. They're coming in every. Every five
- 45:44minutes. Dad, I need you to fix
- 45:47this. It's like, okay, nobody.
- 45:49>> Speaker A: Just give me.
- 45:50>> Hunter Hoover: Just give me a half hour. Yeah, but,
- 45:52well, hey, um, I know
- 45:55we're. We're approaching the 1 hour
- 45:58mark here, and I want to be respectful of your time. I do have a
- 46:01couple. Um, one last
- 46:04question, and then I also have kind of a personal
- 46:07interest question based off some of the things I've been seeing y'all
- 46:10put on the Internet recently?
- 46:11>> Speaker A: Yeah.
- 46:12>> Hunter Hoover: Um, and I'm good.
- 46:13>> Speaker C: When?
- 46:13>> Speaker A: How? You can go as long as you want. I literally.
- 46:15>> Speaker C: Okay.
- 46:16>> Speaker A: I mean, I'm sick today and I have nothing going on. So you just keep talking
- 46:18and I'll enjoy it.
- 46:19>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 46:20>> Hunter Hoover: Perfect. Uh. Oh, don't tell me to just keep
- 46:22talking. The t. So I work. I
- 46:25work at a. I work at a high school and at a church with
- 46:28teenagers, both places. And so,
- 46:31like, all I do is talk all the time. I. I
- 46:34talk to teens. I talk in front of teens, and
- 46:37then I just. My hobbies are all talking.
- 46:39So Anna is like, just
- 46:42go somewhere else and talk to someone else.
- 46:45But, yeah, I.
- 46:46>> Speaker A: So what, uh, real quick, what. What high school? In which
- 46:49church?
- 46:50>> Hunter Hoover: I'm at South Albany High school, uh, here down in
- 46:52Albany. And teaching, uh, behavior special
- 46:55ed. So it's pretty much what we were doing, mentoring. But I'm, like,
- 46:58teaching it in a classroom setting, the skills and not having.
- 47:01>> Speaker A: To run and try to chase kids down and not be able to tackle
- 47:04them.
- 47:05>> Hunter Hoover: Not having kids pull the fire alarm at Salem
- 47:08public Library and sitting there till
- 47:10930 until the foster parent can figure
- 47:13out what is going on to come get him.
- 47:15>> Speaker A: Uh, I bet I can tell you which foster parent and which
- 47:18kid.
- 47:20>> Hunter Hoover: Well, I guarantee you you could. Uh,
- 47:23yeah, I just. Towards the end of that job,
- 47:26I was kind of a nightmare employee towards the end because I had
- 47:29told. Do you remember megan? Uh, gormley?
- 47:31>> Speaker A: Sounds familiar.
- 47:33>> Speaker C: Well, she.
- 47:33>> Hunter Hoover: She ended up taking on what Alex was doing as, like, the
- 47:36lead operator, runner lady.
- 47:39And towards the end, she was great to work for,
- 47:42but I was an absolute nightmare to her towards the end
- 47:45because I said, hey, here's the deal. I'm going to work with
- 47:47my one, like, outside contract
- 47:50kid for 4 hours a
- 47:53week, and that's all I'm going to do. And
- 47:56so they're like, yeah, we need a mentor. And I'm like, yeah, um, I'm not.
- 47:59I will not go mentor that foster parents kids anymore.
- 48:01>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 48:02>> Hunter Hoover: Nope.
- 48:03>> Speaker A: Dude, some of the, uh, it wasn't half the time.
- 48:06Wasn't even necessary. I mean, it was definitely the foster kids I hated when
- 48:09it was like, you know, they have to do their reading
- 48:12at the library. And you get there and it's an hour of trying
- 48:14to get them to do the reading. And once they start, then it's like, all
- 48:17right, it's time to go home. I'm not done yet. I'm like, no, it's time to go
- 48:20home.
- 48:22>> Hunter Hoover: And then they're mad and like,
- 48:26um, I'm not good about it, because I'm like,
- 48:29this kid who hates
- 48:31school just sat in school for 7
- 48:34hours, and the
- 48:37school is not asking them to read for an hour. The
- 48:40school is asking them to read for 20 minutes.
- 48:42>> Speaker A: Yeah, but.
- 48:44>> Hunter Hoover: So you pick them up, it's like, here's your snack.
- 48:47Now, I know you just did school for 7 hours, but I need
- 48:50you to now sit and read for another hour.
- 48:53It's like the last thing this
- 48:56kid wants to do. And then I would get this
- 48:59thing worked out, be like, hey, let's go to the park. We'll throw the
- 49:01frisbee for 45 minutes, and then we're gonna sit down and do
- 49:04the reading. Knock it out. And then they
- 49:07go home. Tell the foster parent. Foster parents, like, no, we can't
- 49:10do the fun stuff before we read. And I'm like, listen,
- 49:13lady, we
- 49:16have a thing going, and it's working. Uh, but,
- 49:19okay, I will, I will ride this way. Um,
- 49:22yeah, I. Towards the end, like I said, I got pretty jaded.
- 49:25And I was like, you know what? How about
- 49:28you figure this out?
- 49:29>> Speaker A: It was rough. And, like, I was gonna say the, the
- 49:32foster parents were just
- 49:35as interesting. Like, you know, like,
- 49:38there was one. Like, there are some that were
- 49:41really trying. And I know that when you have both of the
- 49:43students, both of the guy students that we worked with at the same
- 49:46house, you know, it's a, uh, it's, it's a
- 49:49struggle. They're best friends and worst of enemies. And it was hilarious.
- 49:52Uh, but, like, but there was a certain foster parent. It
- 49:55was out more in the south Salem side or something, but we were
- 49:57dropping, uh, one of the kids off, and he's
- 50:00like, I just can't remember.
- 50:03He's just like, it's just the first thing he does, like, yell at him,
- 50:06you know, did you do this?
- 50:07>> Speaker C: And blah, blah, blah.
- 50:08>> Speaker A: It was like, yes. It's like, fine. So I go downstairs and
- 50:11I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, this is what I'm dropping this kid
- 50:14off at. And then I, and I would ask him, I'm like, dude, like,
- 50:17honestly, like, how do you like it? He's like, oh, I love it there. They just let me
- 50:20play xbox all day long. I'm like, crazy.
- 50:23>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, I. Yeah, it's weird. It's weird
- 50:26that none of the reading ever happened there at the
- 50:29house. Um, anyway, here we
- 50:31go.
- 50:34>> Speaker A: We could talk about that job for a very long time.
- 50:36>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, yeah. Um, I'm sure
- 50:39there's, I'm sure there's a show or something out there where people
- 50:42unload the things they've seen. Um,
- 50:44but one of the things I want to know is,
- 50:47so you've been making, like, toy
- 50:50videos for. I don't know. I'm probably not describing it
- 50:53right.
- 50:53>> Speaker A: No, that's right.
- 50:56>> Speaker C: Dude.
- 50:56>> Hunter Hoover: I love these videos, by the way.
- 50:58>> Speaker C: Thank you, dude.
- 50:59>> Speaker A: That's awesome.
- 51:00>> Hunter Hoover: I think they are so cool because,
- 51:03first of all, y'all are grabbing stuff that I have seen
- 51:06a thousand times, or my kids have walked up to me and
- 51:09gone, can I get it? And I look at it and I go,
- 51:12there's not a chance that's going to be cool enough to get and be worth
- 51:15it. And then you guys are, like, going and playing with
- 51:17it and kind of weighing in on
- 51:21it. It's kind of cool. Or it totally ruined
- 51:24our carpet. Yeah.
- 51:26And so what. What made
- 51:29y'all? Is that just, like, an extension of riff
- 51:32productions video productions? Or is that just like, yeah. Having
- 51:35fun?
- 51:35>> Speaker A: Well, it's having fun, but, like, we're trying to grow a
- 51:38YouTube channel. So, like, especially my brother on being part
- 51:41time and then me getting married, it's like, okay, we have our video
- 51:44job and we have the video business, but,
- 51:46like, how can we make more income on the
- 51:49side? And we know YouTube is a way it's very
- 51:52difficult to get into. Um, the average
- 51:55toy person, maybe not average, but a lot
- 51:58of the people that are on YouTube and just do toy
- 52:00stuff, they make anywhere between 2 million and 90 million
- 52:03a year. And that is just, like, insane. Like, and
- 52:06we're. We're never once saying, like, that's going to be us. We're going to be.
- 52:09>> Speaker C: That.
- 52:09>> Speaker A: We're not. We're not big headed. We're not like, yeah, you know, we
- 52:12might make, you know, a month and, like, sick.
- 52:15>> Speaker C: Um.
- 52:15>> Speaker A: Um, but. But we started out, so
- 52:18it's actually shifted a little bit. So we were doing the toy stuff,
- 52:21but the more we put stuff out that we are interested in
- 52:24filming, the more the community would be like,
- 52:26hey, like, yeah, but, like, you're not really
- 52:29aiming for kids per se, but you're also,
- 52:32like, you know, just two grown men, like, talking
- 52:35to kids. And so then that gets kind of weird. So we were like, uh, we're like,
- 52:38okay, so we're, like, asking people, what do you
- 52:40guys like that we do? And people, like, we do like the reviews,
- 52:43but maybe just aim it for a little bit higher. Age, more like
- 52:4615 and up. And we're like, okay. So we
- 52:49started doing more, like, just recently, just
- 52:52electronic reviews and so, like,
- 52:55we just bought $100 worth of stuff on
- 52:57TMU, and, um, which we've never used
- 53:00before, but there's some really wacky things out
- 53:03there, and we're like, dude, let's just buy a bunch of this stuff. And
- 53:06that way it's still fun and it's still kid stuff,
- 53:09but it's not necessarily three and up, you know? So, like, the
- 53:12Picasso tiles and stuff, which I honestly enjoyed
- 53:15playing with, to be honest.
- 53:16>> Hunter Hoover: Like, I was like, these are sick.
- 53:18>> Speaker A: Like, I wish I had these when I was a kid.
- 53:20>> Hunter Hoover: Um, yeah, no, dude, that. I. I see what. I see
- 53:23where they're coming from. But, like, man, as a parent,
- 53:26I was going, oh, hey, actually, though, like,
- 53:30this is.
- 53:31>> Speaker A: I, uh.
- 53:31>> Hunter Hoover: This is great, because the other thing is, is sometimes you
- 53:34watch those toy reviews, and the parent.
- 53:37It's like parents and their kids and the parents are just
- 53:39unbearable.
- 53:40>> Speaker A: It's like you're.
- 53:42>> Hunter Hoover: This has to be child slavery. Like, in some
- 53:45way. Yeah, this. This is a weird balance that we've
- 53:47struck.
- 53:48>> Speaker A: Now it's just two grown men playing with toys instead, and you're like,
- 53:51hey.
- 53:52>> Hunter Hoover: And here I am going, I. This is great.
- 53:55So.
- 53:55>> Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that's great, and I'm glad you liked it. You know,
- 53:58we're trying to. Yeah, it's hard to. It's been hard for us
- 54:01to find the right audience and. Right. You
- 54:04know, because, like, we have you and other people that are like, oh, we love the toy
- 54:07stuff, but then we have the majority of people, they're like, oh, maybe you should
- 54:10do, like, more, like, electronic review and other stuff like that. So now
- 54:13we're trying to maybe kind of steer it. So it was called toy
- 54:16explorers, but we were like, if
- 54:19we do older stuff, it can't be called toy
- 54:21explorers anymore because that sounds like a good show.
- 54:24>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
- 54:25>> Speaker A: And we love the name. But so we went. We reverted back
- 54:28to riffle review, and so. And
- 54:30it rolls off the tongue. It makes it easy. And so we already have
- 54:33logos from the past when we were doing stuff. So
- 54:36sweet.
- 54:37>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 54:37>> Speaker A: So now we're getting back into that.
- 54:39>> Hunter Hoover: And we're hoping that's all out on YouTube and stuff.
- 54:41>> Speaker A: Yep, out on YouTube. Just type in riffle review. And, of course, it
- 54:44probably won't come up. It'll be a bunch of rifles.
- 54:47And, you know, it's like, no, there's.
- 54:48>> Hunter Hoover: Another f. The extra f is
- 54:51important. Um, well, sweet. Yeah,
- 54:54and I'll put. I'll put, like, if you have any,
- 54:57like, hey, these are links we want to make sure people go to.
- 55:00Feel free to send them to me. I'll stick them down in the thing.
- 55:02And, um. Yeah. And,
- 55:05uh, uh, the last piece of
- 55:08bathroom stuff that I have before I let you go
- 55:11is, do you have any
- 55:13bathroom wisdom? If you. You know, if you were
- 55:16tasked with, like, hey, there's a group of high school
- 55:18boys that just. They just need some
- 55:21bathroom wisdom from. From someone who's gone before
- 55:24them do, what would you say to
- 55:26them?
- 55:28>> Speaker A: I would say, man,
- 55:30I feel like it came from. I think it was
- 55:33parks and rec, but it was,
- 55:35uh, uh, but
- 55:38I think it was like a blooper thing. But, you
- 55:41know, sometimes when you wipe, it's like a
- 55:43marker. You know, you just.
- 55:46There's something with that phrase, but it was like, yeah, I'm reminded
- 55:49that all the time, like, sometimes it's like, there's you wipe
- 55:52and there's nothing. You're like, today's gonna be a good day.
- 55:55And, like, other times you, like, wipe for the. For, like,
- 55:58the rest of the day. And I'm like, today's just gonna be an okay
- 56:01day.
- 56:01>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah.
- 56:04You just have to push through.
- 56:05>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 56:06>> Hunter Hoover: Get to the end of it, so the pusher.
- 56:07>> Speaker A: And then, you know, if you go run around, you're like, well, I'll probably have to
- 56:10change later.
- 56:11>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah, there's. There's always.
- 56:14There's always. There, uh, there's a
- 56:17non zero chance, like, there's these. There's always a little
- 56:20bit of something wild going on back there.
- 56:23And that's okay. I think. I think learning to
- 56:26embrace, that's just fine.
- 56:27>> Speaker A: But it's amazing the days, too, where you, like, you do wipe and there's nothing.
- 56:30You're, like, sick. And then later on in the day, there's a lot. And you're like,
- 56:32what? Where'd it come from?
- 56:34>> Hunter Hoover: Where did. What happened?
- 56:35>> Speaker A: Yeah, why did. Why didn't come earlier?
- 56:39>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my gosh. That's funny.
- 56:41>> Speaker A: Um, so probably the advice would just be just like, you have to push.
- 56:44You just gotta push through life.
- 56:46>> Hunter Hoover: Just push through it. That's
- 56:48awesome. Um, well. Well, Richard,
- 56:51I'm gonna close it out here. Um, do
- 56:54you. I would love for you to share. If you want people
- 56:57to check stuff out that you have, feel free to
- 57:00do, uh, some plugs before I close it down
- 57:03here.
- 57:04>> Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean, if you want to check out our website,
- 57:06um. Um, there's some updated stuff going on right now
- 57:09because there's a lot of it. Like, I closed out of a
- 57:12Vimeo account and didn't realize that would pull off all the drone
- 57:15stuff. And so, like, that. So it's like, okay, we're gonna have to figure
- 57:18that out. Um, um, but, uh, if you want to check out the website, it's
- 57:21www. Dot riff video
- 57:23productions.com. So riff. And then video
- 57:25productions. Um, um, and then if you want to check out my
- 57:29instagram, um, um, that's where you're going to see a lot more. Like, so I've been doing
- 57:32a lot of car videos. Um, um, and so been getting
- 57:34really heavy into that, especially in the Tucson community
- 57:37there. You know, we talk some older people, and they're
- 57:40like, man, people want just videos of the cars. I'm like,
- 57:43yeah, yeah. And.
- 57:45And I know nothing about cars. Zero knowledge.
- 57:48Couldn't even change a tire on my car. But I can make a car look
- 57:51good, and that is all that matters. And so.
- 57:54But if you go, same thing. It's just riff vp,
- 57:57so not video productions. It's just rff
- 57:59bp on Instagram. And so you can follow
- 58:02me there and check out all my stuff and ask me bathroom questions
- 58:05if you want to. Uh, and.
- 58:08And then on YouTube. Yeah, I think it's.
- 58:11I think it's just riffle. Review right now. Rifle review
- 58:14or rifle reviews of the S Ryan. But it's
- 58:17riffle and then review.
- 58:20So you might have to type in, like. Like,
- 58:23we just did one called Ulanzi lights. And maybe if you type in
- 58:25Ulanzi, which is like, ultimate you
- 58:28a n d I or something like that. So there's these little
- 58:31cheap little lights, but you might really like them for the
- 58:34studio there. Um, they're magnetic, and they're, like,
- 58:37$20. Um, interesting. They're
- 58:40pretty cool. But that's one of the new tech ones that we just released.
- 58:43We use them for all the time. We actually made a whole film, a
- 58:46two part film. We wanted to make it longer, but it just got hard.
- 58:49But, uh, just using three
- 58:51lights that are, like, you know, a couple inches
- 58:54long. That's crazy.
- 58:55>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
- 58:56>> Speaker A: So it's pretty fun.
- 58:56>> Hunter Hoover: I'll have to look into it. I I got to get anything that I do
- 58:59to. To this. I have to get approved because truly,
- 59:02like, this is my toilet. Like, I'm sitting on my
- 59:04toilet.
- 59:05>> Speaker A: You can't.
- 59:06>> Hunter Hoover: But there she blows. Like,
- 59:09it. I it's. It's recorded
- 59:12from the bathroom. I. And people that
- 59:15I get, people, they email. Oh, uh, you're not in the
- 59:18bathroom. I'm like, I've got. I've
- 59:20got the audio thing down. It's not
- 59:23good. Like, that's why it was kind of funny when you're like, hey, what do I
- 59:26said, there's times where
- 59:28there's the fan. Like, I'll record away from here, like at
- 59:31our church, and the fans just
- 59:34in the background, I'm like, it's. I'm in a
- 59:37bathroom, folks. Here we are. Um, but
- 59:40no, I will. I will put those links in there. Go check out
- 59:43Richard stuff. And, uh, uh,
- 59:46I know I've seen a couple of the car videos. Like I said, I
- 59:49don't know what I'm looking at either in the car videos, but they look cool.
- 59:51>> Speaker C: Yeah.
- 59:52>> Hunter Hoover: Um, and, yeah, check out those review
- 59:55videos. I, um. Whether you guys do toys or
- 59:57electronics, I've seen a couple of
- 1:00:00electronic things. Um, and, yeah,
