  And I'm going to read you a little fun tidbit to start this
• 0:04
  pod. OK?
• 0:05
  Are you ready to listen? Dolphins have bromances where 2
• 0:10
  male friends will link up for up to 15 years and help each other
• 0:15
  get females. What do you think of that TA?
• 0:21
  That's dedication to the term wingman.
• 0:24
  Yeah, if I've ever heard it. 15 years is a good run out in these
• 0:28
  streets, you know? Yeah, yeah.
• 0:31
  Dolphins are smart. Do you know that a female
• 0:35
  dolphin gets banged out by as many male dolphins as possible?
• 0:39
  Because the male dolphin will kill the baby dolphin as like
• 0:45
  you know, cuz they want that woman to themself.
• 0:47
  But they'll only kill like a smell they recognize as their
• 0:51
  own, so she'll get banged out by as many as possible so they
• 0:55
  can't tell who's the baby daddy. Yeah, I did actually know that
• 0:58
  isn't. That maybe you?
• 0:59
  Did you tell me that? I may have.
• 1:01
  I heard it on Joe Rogan podcast. I don't know if that part's true
• 1:05
  or not, but I do know that dolphins are horn dogs.
• 1:07
  No, it's true. It's it's true.
• 1:09
  Yeah, I know it. I know it is.
• 1:12
  You just had a job interview. Yeah, I did.
• 1:14
  Tell me about this. That's big.
• 1:17
  Yeah, You know, they're all they're all big.
• 1:19
  There we go. not a, Chino, neglecto.
• 1:23
  So precious. Yeah, it went well.
• 1:28
  I can't really tell you too much about it.
• 1:32
  I wouldn't be able to tell you much about my work.
• 1:35
  Oh, losing forward. Kind of badass.
• 1:38
  But but it would be a cool job, be kind of I'd be one-on-one in
• 1:44
  my field. It'd be a lot of work.
• 1:46
  It would not for a very long time be remote or hybrid.
• 1:50
  That was a lie. I would definitely need to be
• 1:52
  there. So that would be a downside.
• 1:55
  But I think the pay would be a good thing.
• 1:59
  I'd be hard pressed to think I would get this job.
• 2:02
  I think they I'd be amazed if they didn't want someone with
• 2:15
  more years under their belt. Kind of more of a hard nosed
• 2:18
  bet. Yeah.
• 2:19
  But at the same time, sometimes they don't have as much drive.
• 2:23
  Well, sometimes hard nosed bets can get a little crusty too.
• 2:26
  Stuck in their rays, not willing to change, you know.
• 2:30
  And, you know, sometimes that fresher blood, you know, can
• 2:35
  sometimes be attractive. So, I mean, we'll just have to
• 2:38
  wait and see. Yeah, they leave it with, you
• 2:41
  know, that they'd be in touch. So we'll see if if they are.
• 2:46
  Well, I'm here, man. We'll hope it happens.
• 2:49
  And you know, we'll just keep fighting the good fight.
• 2:53
  You know, we'll keep fighting the good fight.
• 2:57
  Stranger Things is the show. Oh my gosh, if we were just
• 3:00
  talking about Stranger Things and like not need jobs in this
• 3:03
  world, that would be amazing. So you like it a lot.
• 3:06
  The show it. Yeah, I you know, I could say I
• 3:09
  wish I watched it then, but then I'd be annoyed that, like, I had
• 3:11
  to wait for the next season. Now I'm just binging it all.
• 3:14
  Now I just gotta wait the rest of this year to see the final
• 3:17
  season. Yeah, I think that's a good way
• 3:19
  to do it. But crazy.
• 3:21
  This has been the best season by far.
• 3:22
  We're on Season 4. So one thing I like to do is
• 3:25
  after I watch a show, like I'm kind of goofy.
• 3:27
  Away real quick. What are you drinking?
• 3:29
  It's tea out of my I actually got this mug from Beavers.
• 3:33
  What? Kind of tea is that?
• 3:34
  It doesn't matter. I got this from Beavers Bend
• 3:37
  Brewing. Fun fact, that state or that
• 3:39
  city, town, whatever you want to call it also.
• 3:42
  Is very fun. Very.
• 3:43
  Sexual. Yeah, Oh yeah, a lot of puns.
• 3:46
  A lot. I think we talked about that on
• 3:48
  the last. Lot of puns.
• 3:49
  Nonetheless, it's still a very interesting but.
• 3:53
  One thing I like to do is kind of after I finish a show, I like
• 3:57
  to like look up like season rankings and see how other
• 4:00
  people rank them because I would agree that I think season 4 has
• 4:03
  been the best season. So I'm interested when I look it
• 4:06
  up to see if others think that or not, but I'm not.
• 4:09
  Of course I of course I'm not going to look until I am
• 4:12
  finished. Now with that being said, our
• 4:17
  upcoming schedule really is quite, quite tame for for the
• 4:21
  most part, but we do have Josh's podium Archery Nashville Archery
• 4:26
  N Nashville Archery N 7000 Grand opening party.
• 4:31
  Yes, we next that should. Be a lot of fun.
• 4:33
  I mean, I know obviously you're going to be there and you're the
• 4:36
  main star. I've got you a flyer did.
• 4:38
  You make the flyer. I did.
• 4:40
  Yeah. I did make you a flyer.
• 4:42
  I think you should. Because, of course, like you're
• 4:44
  the main star. Well, I think you're joking, but
• 4:46
  I think we actually should make a flyer and I'll post it.
• 4:49
  But on a more real note, so who else is going to be there?
• 4:52
  This will come out obviously beforehand, so if this doesn't,
• 4:55
  if you haven't been enticed yet to show up, this might might do
• 4:59
  the trick. Well, let's see.
• 5:00
  So I'm gonna be there. Of course.
• 5:02
  Obviously, Josh is gonna be there.
• 5:06
  Really. The owner.
• 5:07
  Botox is gonna be there if you're a TikTok guy.
• 5:10
  Yeah, Tim Connor is gonna be there.
• 5:14
  So Tim Connor is making. It he's coming to the party, OK,
• 5:17
  He'll be there a little late, fashionably late, but he's gonna
• 5:20
  be there. Brandon McDonald's going to be
• 5:22
  there, which I'm very excited. Is he an employee?
• 5:24
  I saw your comment jokingly of course, but like is it an
• 5:28
  employee of the shop? Or says he's an unpaid intern.
• 5:32
  Ah. OK.
• 5:33
  He's very supportive, very supportive indeed.
• 5:36
  Yeah. So anyway, all those fellas are
• 5:39
  going to be there. Brianna is going to be there.
• 5:42
  I'm sorry. Brittany Jean Outdoors is going
• 5:44
  to be there. 882743 Channel 75 is going to be there as well, so
• 5:51
  that'll be fun. Well, do we know what style of
• 5:54
  food the food vendor is as well? The food truck I.
• 5:57
  Don't I don't know that information.
• 5:59
  That's. Unfortunate.
• 6:00
  And then of course, we got Tennessee tack after that I, you
• 6:05
  know, hopefully conform well, I'm going to perform fine.
• 6:08
  Got the bow dialed, proven 34 which leads me to no no.
• 6:13
  No, no. Now here's the question.
• 6:16
  Also, you know, I know you like to rush through topics, but
• 6:19
  we're going to fester in that a little.
• 6:21
  Bit OK, all right, let's. Faster.
• 6:23
  So at TAC you know you're going to go off and shoot with the big
• 6:27
  wigs. You know, the real important
• 6:30
  head honchos, Me and Brittany Jean are going to be left to our
• 6:35
  own devices. You know, who knows what we'll
• 6:39
  get into, But she's been really working hard at her setup.
• 6:47
  As far as like the Bose setup, yeah.
• 6:48
  Me, you know, it's it's there. You know, like you just throw a
• 6:53
  new tape on crank some poundage in like flipper to performance
• 6:57
  and you don't really test her. You just, you do the things and
• 7:02
  you take her out into the field. What?
• 7:08
  What do you think's going to happen?
• 7:11
  So last time Bernie was here, she beat me.
• 7:15
  I beat both of you combined but. Well, yeah, yeah, but beside.
• 7:18
  We and in the running game, you beat her.
• 7:20
  In the running game you got second in that.
• 7:22
  Yes, because I had such an awesome run.
• 7:25
  Yeah, whatever. I should bring that short back.
• 7:28
  Out insert back clips in here. No, you won that.
• 7:32
  And then the day of the 3D shoot she did get you and but I got
• 7:38
  both the other really. Goodbye.
• 7:40
  Keep it anyway. We don't need to take a break
• 7:45
  from this pod today. No, I think that honestly, I'm
• 7:49
  really excited for lunch. We got lunch planned after this,
• 7:52
  we're going to watch a Padre game.
• 7:53
  Oh, I can't wait. I'm looking forward to it, but I
• 7:55
  didn't. Realize that was a real.
• 7:56
  Thing. No, I'm going.
• 7:57
  Are you coming? Thank you, Shika.
• 7:59
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 8:00
  Anyway, No, I think that I have full faith you're going to get
• 8:04
  the W this time around. I think that you've been
• 8:07
  shooting a fair amount. I think you are really
• 8:10
  comfortable with your setup. I think your setup's ready to
• 8:13
  go. I think it's all good how you
• 8:15
  want. Sorry about that.
• 8:17
  Volks ended up getting a package.
• 8:20
  But yeah, no, I think could be really I think do you get a tape
• 8:24
  on there? And I think you'll be, you'll be
• 8:26
  good to go. My only worry would be fatigue
• 8:29
  just because you, you know, got the bow pumped all the way up.
• 8:34
  You're looking good with it and you're in performance.
• 8:37
  So the draw curve's a little, I mean a fair amount more
• 8:39
  aggressive. So my only concern would be.
• 8:42
  My, I'd have that concern if we were at a normal 3D shoot where
• 8:46
  we're just moving from target to target real quick.
• 8:49
  But you've got walks in between these targets, so you've got
• 8:53
  some breathing room to not fatigue out as quickly.
• 8:57
  That is very. So I'm not too terribly worried
• 9:00
  about that. My only worry is going to be
• 9:01
  farming uphill shots with, you know, my half inch longer draw
• 9:06
  and things of that nature. What in the?
• 9:09
  World. OK, so we got this.
• 9:11
  I wouldn't call it a sponsor just yet, so I get you excited,
• 9:14
  but it is a friend of the show. Yeah, Ghost.
• 9:18
  And that looks delicious. So these are Sour Patch Kids
• 9:23
  electrolytes right here. Then we got Chips Ahoy protein.
• 9:30
  And someone was just complaining about me throwing out their
• 9:32
  protein knowing full well he had protein on the way.
• 9:36
  And then what do we got here? Some merch potentially?
• 9:38
  Let me take a look. At the merch like T-shirts.
• 9:42
  Oh, not. Oh my, what in the F is that?
• 9:47
  Pretty sick. It's a ghost.
• 9:49
  It's a sports shirt. Why is it feel sound like a rain
• 9:53
  jacket? Well, it might be.
• 9:54
  It's kind of badass medium. So this is this is for you.
• 9:57
  Yeah, this is going to be yours. I'm supposed to wear this?
• 10:00
  Yeah, you're wearing it. Wait, why is he got a hole right
• 10:03
  here? I think it has to be a rain
• 10:05
  jacket. Next up we got orange cream pre
• 10:10
  workout. So we got an orange cream pre
• 10:12
  workout. That's there, right there.
• 10:15
  And then? Orange cream sounds like my
• 10:17
  kind. Of stuff blue Raspberry, intra
• 10:21
  workout, blue rasp. What the hell is an intra
• 10:25
  workout like I take it internally during the workout?
• 10:28
  And then we got ghost energy drinks. 0 sugar.
• 10:31
  This is the cherry limeade flavor.
• 10:34
  And fun fact, I can't say for sure but it does sound like
• 10:39
  Ghost energy will be providing energy drinks at Bo disciples
• 10:42
  challenge. Just so everyone knows.
• 10:44
  I believe that's the thing. Oh, no, no, no.
• 10:47
  Watch this watch. Well done.
• 10:51
  Oh, he he figured it out. He tried to eat it.
• 10:54
  So then we got 2 shaker, 2 shaker cups from Ghost.
• 10:58
  Very nice. And let's see, here's another
• 11:01
  medium. So this is for you, whatever
• 11:03
  that is. Because, you know, I'm a big
• 11:05
  boy. I wear large.
• 11:08
  And what do we got here? That looks like a hoodie.
• 11:11
  Looks like a hoodie, very thick hoodie and is this large?
• 11:16
  Ghost lifestyle is what it this. Is a medium as well.
• 11:21
  So you you came up on on a bunch of merch.
• 11:24
  There you go. Are you sure that you didn't
• 11:26
  include you meant for your size? I said medium and large, but
• 11:30
  maybe they had a shortage of large.
• 11:31
  Oh, this is a this is a gas hoodie.
• 11:35
  Yeah, I know. We just learned that GAS stands
• 11:37
  for some. We're old.
• 11:38
  Good ass shit. Good ass.
• 11:40
  This is some good ass shit. So are these like creams?
• 11:44
  I think it's a powder that you pour.
• 11:45
  Into into your drink sour patch that's going to be.
• 11:48
  Gas that's going to be delicious I'm also excited, you know not
• 11:51
  that I work out anymore but that orange cream because orange
• 11:59
  cream cycles are my favorite drinks but.
• 12:04
  So anyways, there we go. Sweet little.
• 12:08
  Unboxings. I'm so confused on what this
• 12:12
  thing is. Maybe you'll fit in it limited
• 12:19
  edition but there's no hood so like it's for sure raincoat
• 12:27
  material. Look, hold on, I got a important
• 12:31
  e-mail. What do you think of the ghost
• 12:33
  energy? Oops.
• 12:34
  Sorry, I just punched. Out the So what do you think of
• 12:36
  the ghost energy slash nutrition thing?
• 12:40
  That is, that is great news. I know I've, I've heard it being
• 12:44
  talked about in the works and I think energy drinks had AI just
• 12:51
  touched his tongue at a shoot is phenomenal.
• 12:56
  So I do hope that they're able to provide those because that in
• 13:00
  and of itself, you know, regardless of being a sponsor of
• 13:03
  the event, is still very beneficial for everybody.
• 13:07
  Oh for sure, yeah. And Ghost makes good stuff.
• 13:10
  And the one thing I really like about them is Ghost is
• 13:13
  definitely not a small brand. Like you can go get them at 711
• 13:16
  or Circle K or like any gas station.
• 13:18
  So they're freaking legit. And I like that they have
• 13:21
  nutrition as well. So like.
• 13:22
  Well, yeah, another thing I was going to say is we most of the
• 13:25
  time you see at the gas station it's just going to be your
• 13:27
  energy drink. But to get you'll try there all
• 13:30
  the other stuff, you know, not that again, like I said, I work
• 13:32
  that anymore, but to try their their pre workout would be nice.
• 13:36
  I get a little ZAP in the morning.
• 13:38
  But yeah, you know, looping back, we did the weave, we did
• 13:41
  the unboxing because Albus went berserk, went to the front door.
• 13:44
  We got the package, so we did the unboxing.
• 13:47
  Shout out to Ghost Energy. We'll see where that goes, both
• 13:49
  as a personal sponsor as well As for the event.
• 13:51
  We'll see what happens. Hopefully we can work out, do
• 13:53
  some cool stuff in the future. Yeah.
• 13:57
  But back to TAC and how you're going to do.
• 14:00
  I mean, I think that as long as, you know, you don't have any
• 14:05
  mental lapses, which is something that both you and your
• 14:07
  sister are not good at, but I think you've gotten much better.
• 14:11
  So I think as long as your mental game stays sharp, I think
• 14:14
  that I think there's a good chance you bring home that
• 14:16
  checkered flag, throw a whip across the finish line.
• 14:19
  I think there's a good chance at that.
• 14:21
  I think you just got to, you know, take it one target at a
• 14:23
  time. If you miss one, keep it moving.
• 14:25
  Try to 10 or 12 the next one and just have that approach every
• 14:28
  time. It's not over till the large
• 14:30
  lady sings, as they say. Fat lady.
• 14:34
  Huh. You.
• 14:35
  Mean the fat lady. Yeah, so that's that's what I
• 14:37
  think and I'm excited to hear about it.
• 14:42
  I feel really good. I mean, I feel great with the
• 14:44
  bow. I feel very confident and Oh
• 14:49
  yeah, I feel good. So should be fun.
• 14:51
  So I don't know if just the setup's great, so and I feel
• 14:56
  good. So that's good.
• 14:57
  Look great, Feel great, yeah. Probably in the best shape of my
• 15:01
  life, you know, so it's like. Now, if I'm not shooting at 6:00
• 15:05
  AM, do not expect me to get up at 5:30 to do your hair for you.
• 15:09
  Oh, my hair. You're going to be to.
• 15:11
  Do your own. My hair needs to be done for the
• 15:12
  party. That's the only time.
• 15:13
  The rest will probably have a hat.
• 15:15
  But for that party, you bet your ass I want it fluffy like a like
• 15:18
  a skunk. Well, like I said, some you need
• 15:21
  to Start learning to do your own hair.
• 15:23
  Well, I like when you do it. It's kind of soothing.
• 15:26
  You don't do my hair. Well, I don't I have I do cut it
• 15:30
  sometimes I do cut it. I also thought we should touch
• 15:34
  on so talk about Josh party. We talked about Tennessee Tech
• 15:37
  did a little unboxing. I think that archery being in
• 15:40
  the Olympics is pretty exciting, impound being in the Olympics.
• 15:44
  So it's mixed. So it's a male female team.
• 15:48
  And of course, you know, we're hoping Paige makes it new friend
• 15:51
  of the show. If so, it's in LA.
• 15:54
  Now, I didn't know why she was so at first worried about not
• 15:59
  worried like she was, but like why everybody was so intense
• 16:02
  about this whole like, well, like they're really going to
• 16:06
  need to do good as a team because it's a team thing.
• 16:09
  I thought it was just like the top woman goes and the top male
• 16:15
  goes, but no, it's the top team goes.
• 16:20
  So they spend the entire next couple of years at any team
• 16:25
  event together, together shooting as a team.
• 16:29
  And that even if you are the best male, the best female US
• 16:32
  shooter in the world or in the country, like you just never
• 16:36
  know what could happen or what if they get injured or whatever,
• 16:41
  vice versa. So now I understand why that
• 16:44
  could be pretty strenuous, because it's not you performing
• 16:46
  solely to then get paired up with a nice male like you have
• 16:51
  to perform as a team together for the next two years.
• 16:55
  It's high stakes for sure, so I hope she obviously be great if
• 17:00
  she made it. I'm fully committed to going to
• 17:03
  the Olympics. If she makes, it's in LA, just
• 17:05
  right up the road. Really, I need to sit more
• 17:07
  crooked. This is why I don't like sitting
• 17:09
  on the couch together because I I feel like I'm breaking my neck
• 17:12
  to stare sideways so I gotta. Just kind of look at my computer
• 17:15
  when you talk. It looks better for the Cam
• 17:17
  anyway. So like I'm looking at the
• 17:18
  virtue. You can just look at my
• 17:20
  computer, you know what I mean? But but here here's the cool
• 17:24
  part. So if if she makes the Olympics
• 17:27
  and my friend Nikita makes the Olympics for her third time, we
• 17:31
  might be able to watch both at the same Olympics.
• 17:33
  So because she does one does BMX, one does archery.
• 17:38
  So it would be dope if we could see 2 events and two people that
• 17:42
  I know a little bit. So that would be pretty cool.
• 17:44
  But yeah, I think that's a big step for the sport.
• 17:46
  It's very exciting. See what happens.
• 17:50
  And then Ted, Ted, Ted Droel tag.
• 17:54
  What do you think about that? Good one too, that.
• 17:57
  That is exciting news. I do hope that I could go, but
• 18:02
  as it's looking more and more impossible to find a remote job,
• 18:07
  you know, I don't know if I'll, I'll make it.
• 18:09
  I'll cheer from from a couple states away, but I would love to
• 18:13
  be there. We did watch a video on on
• 18:17
  somebody who had A tag in that specific unit, and it just
• 18:21
  sounds like a frenzy. A mayhem for.
• 18:26
  Sure. Yeah, just bulls running around
• 18:29
  chasing each other. Well, there's just so few
• 18:31
  hunters and so many help that they're, like, not really
• 18:34
  pressured, you know? Yeah.
• 18:36
  Now that does not make them, you know, like able to walk up and
• 18:40
  pet. But no, of course they seem to
• 18:42
  be much. More just more opportunity,
• 18:44
  yeah. But that is awesome for Ted, you
• 18:47
  know, at his his age, like you said, you never know how many
• 18:51
  more like once in a lifetime or premium unit tags you're gonna
• 18:57
  draw, especially with how long it takes and with lotteries
• 19:02
  being an unknown of if you ever will every year it's a pretty
• 19:10
  big hunt. Yeah, at that.
• 19:12
  Point, definitely. And so that is exciting, yeah,
• 19:19
  terrain looks. Pretty steep.
• 19:21
  Too big? Yeah.
• 19:22
  It does look tough, yeah. So I think it may put some wear
• 19:27
  and tear on some people. Hopefully not too many recovery
• 19:32
  days needed, but it does look like some hiking will be in your
• 19:36
  futures. Yeah, from what we've heard from
• 19:40
  people, it doesn't sound like there's too many access to track
• 19:44
  roads to take the rig in, but you can get in as far as you can
• 19:49
  and then hike from there better than starting from the, you
• 19:53
  know, the trail entrance. Yeah.
• 19:56
  Right. Yeah, No, I'm excited to kind of
• 19:58
  figure it out. And you know, he had mentioned
• 20:00
  maybe going out to the unit early to scout and try out his
• 20:04
  truck and trailer and stuff, but we'll see if he does it.
• 20:07
  I think that would be a really good idea for him to do so.
• 20:11
  Yeah, that's exciting and. You know, just it's, it's kind
• 20:17
  of funny every time you apply for something you like feel
• 20:20
  like, oh, maybe this will be the time I get something.
• 20:22
  And then the nice part about having a few people that I know
• 20:26
  applying, you know, is it's like it UPS your odds that somebody
• 20:29
  will get something. And so far he's the only one
• 20:32
  that's got anything of anyone I know of any sort of
• 20:34
  significance, like tag wise. So that's pretty cool.
• 20:37
  But I'm excited to get out there and have some.
• 20:40
  Where's that? Bruise come from probably my
• 20:42
  scooter. Oh I went and hit a little
• 20:44
  session earlier. Oh nice I stacked on a bar spin.
• 20:47
  Nice sweet bar. Bar spins scare me on my new
• 20:51
  scooter but I'm but they're wide.
• 20:52
  I'm getting more comfy with them.
• 20:54
  You've been riding. Them I've been just making my,
• 20:56
  I've been making myself just chop those bars.
• 20:59
  It's so scary though. Well, it's an adult.
• 21:02
  Side because I'm trying to mix in more combos and bars unlock a
• 21:05
  lot of combos. Yes, so I was back to Ted's hunt
• 21:11
  for a retired die. Like it just makes so much sense
• 21:15
  to me to go out, especially if you're driving because you want
• 21:18
  to take your your trailer to have a place to camp more
• 21:23
  locally to the hunting area, which I think is very wise with
• 21:28
  early mornings and hikes and whatnot.
• 21:32
  I mean, you could go, you know, 10 days in advance or you know,
• 21:38
  a week in advance and you know, 2 days of driving and then seven
• 21:42
  days of of really scouting to really narrow it down on or
• 21:47
  start seeing some patterns or whatever.
• 21:49
  Because like what else you going to do?
• 21:51
  Like why wait until 2 days of scouting when you got all the
• 21:57
  time in the world, you know, and then you just unhook the truck
• 22:01
  and pick you up from the airport if you fly in and and then head
• 22:06
  on out? I mean, I would, especially when
• 22:08
  you're drawing A tag that's SOAP Premium, you know?
• 22:11
  Yeah, it was only 2% draw odds. When you're doing like that,
• 22:14
  like I would want to make sure you can't guarantee you're going
• 22:18
  to get one, but I would guarantee I know where they are
• 22:22
  by the time it's opening day. Yeah.
• 22:26
  Yeah, especially if you had the luxury of being able to do so.
• 22:31
  You know, it's a lot of work and a lot of effort.
• 22:34
  You know, you don't want to tire yourself out before a hunt, but
• 22:39
  to find the roads you got access to the tracks where they kind of
• 22:43
  go. If you're seeing anything from
• 22:45
  there, you know, so many things you could either cross off the
• 22:48
  list or say these are going to be on our list for the first few
• 22:52
  days. Gosh, I'd be out there way in
• 22:56
  advance. Yeah, I mean, why not?
• 23:00
  You know, I think it's wise and even if, like I said, you know,
• 23:03
  we could get out there and whatever June, we'd go look at
• 23:08
  it for a while or whatever, I think it's always smart.
• 23:10
  And then, you know, obviously we got BDC Bo Disciples Challenge
• 23:15
  3. It's so close.
• 23:18
  It is so close. BDC 3 and we, we, you just went
• 23:23
  up there and for your first time you got to walk a couple of the
• 23:27
  courses. Yeah, pretty big hike,
• 23:30
  especially on one of the ones you did.
• 23:32
  The other one, not as bad, but it's that one's the, you know,
• 23:35
  it's yeah, the. Easy 1 didn't do the
• 23:37
  intermediate did like essentially the easier one and
• 23:40
  the hard one and the hardest one as far as hiking goes.
• 23:43
  Although I think the one that's in the middle will have a lot of
• 23:46
  like up and down. Yeah.
• 23:47
  Won't be quite as long. All of them still technical
• 23:50
  stuff in there. So, you know, you can't say easy
• 23:53
  and assume you're gonna have, you know, wide open window for
• 23:56
  shots, you know, things like that.
• 23:59
  I think like that one on the the Tricer course that's going to
• 24:02
  only be probably like 10 yards, but you had it placed a little
• 24:05
  further. But there's just that little
• 24:06
  triangular hole in a bunch of down logs.
• 24:10
  Like if a frog just going to see the portion of the vital layer
• 24:15
  the the rings and like really after the lob to get that 12
• 24:21
  ring, I think that would be a very that's going to be a fun
• 24:24
  one. So I always love to see when the
• 24:27
  targets finally go up and it takes so long because we can't
• 24:30
  start doing it till the week of the shoot.
• 24:33
  But that's the funnest part, when you start seeing those
• 24:35
  windows with the target in it and how you got to skirt that
• 24:38
  tree or decide if you're going to sit, kneel, stand, whatever
• 24:42
  you're going to do. That's always, I think, the
• 24:45
  funnest part of it. Do you think some of the local
• 24:47
  target shooters will come? And yeah, they'll.
• 24:50
  Probably. Do you think they'll have a fun
• 24:51
  time? No.
• 24:53
  They will not have a fun time, but that's not what this is.
• 24:56
  You know, like you said, you've been inspired by TAC for many
• 24:59
  years and TAC does not come to California.
• 25:03
  So other than there are a couple of bigger shoots.
• 25:06
  Yeah, Team Whiskey's up higher, like Team Whiskey up a little
• 25:10
  further north. Obviously Red, no further.
• 25:12
  Obviously Redding, but that's like a competitive thing.
• 25:15
  So there. Yeah, there's a few joints.
• 25:16
  For sure this will happen at Big Bear or no.
• 25:20
  They do a yearly shoot, yes, but that is a tournament as well.
• 25:23
  Yeah, see. And that's just like there's
• 25:25
  nothing like other than maybe Team Whiskey's that's like most
• 25:31
  similar to tap. I would love to make a team
• 25:33
  whiskey. It hasn't panned out yet, but
• 25:34
  hey, maybe. But it's like it's not close
• 25:36
  close. It's not like a three hour drive
• 25:38
  to big. No, it's like 10.
• 25:39
  Plus hour drive. Yeah, maybe this year we can go,
• 25:42
  who knows, but I would like to do that.
• 25:44
  But yeah, it's coming together. I mean, I feel good about the
• 25:49
  courses. It is a lot of work.
• 25:51
  Like you realize that, you know, but I it's, it's it's, it'll get
• 25:54
  done. Everything's going to be really
• 25:55
  good, really dialed. I almost think this year is sort
• 25:59
  of like every year is an improvement.
• 26:03
  This year is definitely an improvement over year 2, but
• 26:05
  it's also a little bit different.
• 26:07
  Like I feel like year 2 we really went for like all out as
• 26:11
  much production as possible. Like let me get as many
• 26:14
  giveaways as possible, as many, you know, vendors and trucks as
• 26:19
  possible. And this year is kind of like, I
• 26:22
  feel almost in the middle of 1 and BD1 and BD2.
• 26:27
  It's like I felt toned back a hair on the production.
• 26:31
  Like they're still really sick giveaways, but I think it's, but
• 26:34
  just a bit less. It's a little less bloated, just
• 26:38
  cleaner. And like the courses are
• 26:40
  fantastic, which they were last year as well.
• 26:43
  Super proud of the courses. But like the courses are epic.
• 26:46
  The show's going to be epic and improved and, and visually as
• 26:49
  well. So I think everything will just
• 26:51
  be better and like cleaner, you know, a little bit cleaner, less
• 26:55
  bloat. Yeah.
• 26:56
  You know, yeah, Because you know, these 25 tuned,
• 27:00
  fine-tuned, fine-tuned. Now and as years go on, you know
• 27:05
  if or it will continue. You know, there will always
• 27:09
  eventually be more vendors and things like that, which, you
• 27:12
  know, people just like you may not care, but like people do
• 27:14
  love it. They love to see products that
• 27:16
  they could potentially test out trying and buy.
• 27:19
  Like you go to Taft and people are asking like how much cash
• 27:21
  should they bring? It's just it's the time you get
• 27:25
  to see it because not everybody gets to go to Expos or lives in
• 27:28
  a state that Expos happen in. Yeah, we will have, like I said,
• 27:32
  a few booths, you know, definitely a few and obviously
• 27:36
  the title sponsors too. So yeah, it's it's really good.
• 27:41
  I'm excited to get the work done.
• 27:42
  We're home right now for another, I think like week and
• 27:45
  1/2. So we're going to be getting
• 27:46
  some work done on it and then, you know, got that quick trip to
• 27:51
  Tennessee and then from then on it's like just production.
• 27:55
  And what's really nice is quite a few people that are, you know,
• 27:59
  helping out with the staffing are coming in quite early.
• 28:02
  So, you know, that's nice. We got a work party plan,
• 28:05
  different stuff. So I'm, I'm really excited about
• 28:07
  it and I, I can't wait to get everyone out there.
• 28:10
  And I can tell by the ticket sales, the campground's gonna be
• 28:13
  little, like a bit this year. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:16
  Almost all the ticket sales are two days will.
• 28:18
  You wake up Sunday. Morning.
• 28:20
  Oh, I'll be fine, don't you worry.
• 28:21
  About it, no yeah, I do. And that's I get I keep I always
• 28:25
  want to impress that part because I think that's the
• 28:27
  funnest part of this like the only difference in this not the
• 28:32
  only but you know 1 of differences in this intact is so
• 28:35
  many of tax venues, if not all of them.
• 28:37
  The venue itself has cut away allowing camping in like the
• 28:41
  parking lot or things like that. Where is here?
• 28:46
  I mean, you got a gate separating from you and the
• 28:49
  courses separating you from the courses, and that's it.
• 28:53
  So you get to just mingle and jump from campground to
• 28:57
  campground and hang out with people that you, you know, have
• 29:00
  just met. Listen to a great show in the
• 29:03
  evening, grab some food from the vendors in the evening and
• 29:06
  afternoon. Drive your coffee in the morning
• 29:10
  from Brooks Cafe, which is phenomenal coffee and it's going
• 29:13
  to keep me going all day. And you know, whatever you may
• 29:18
  do with some of the other people there like Josh.
• 29:21
  And I'm getting to meet people like that who, you know, if they
• 29:25
  don't get to go out to tax and meet him, he comes down here for
• 29:29
  it. And he's a wealth of knowledge
• 29:32
  and a funny personality. So I know people loved that last
• 29:37
  year and I can only imagine they also will again this year.
• 29:41
  So it is. It's always a good time.
• 29:44
  It's a very busy time, but it's a good time and.
• 29:48
  Yeah, it's definitely, it's definitely one of those events
• 29:53
  where it's like when it's finished, you definitely like
• 29:57
  need like a few days off, like a vacation or something just
• 30:00
  because it's a lot, but it's like.
• 30:03
  Well, you get about one week and then you go to Pennsylvania.
• 30:05
  Well, I can't wait for Pennsylvania.
• 30:07
  We're going to go to a Pittsburgh Pirates game.
• 30:10
  Yeah, that'll be fun. They have a sick stadium.
• 30:13
  You ever seen their stadium? So like, you know how Petco like
• 30:17
  out the outfield, there's all like the buildings and stuff,
• 30:20
  the skyscrapers. So Pittsburgh ballpark, PNC
• 30:24
  Park, the gap in the outfield is a river with like a bridge going
• 30:29
  over and like, yeah, is. This one, like Pyeakers, sit
• 30:33
  out. No, that's San Francisco.
• 30:34
  Oh, OK. Yeah, but it's similar.
• 30:36
  It's a similar set up. It's one of the most beautiful
• 30:39
  ballparks. So I can't wait to go.
• 30:41
  Pirates are. They're an up and coming team.
• 30:45
  I don't think they're going to like contend for playoffs this
• 30:47
  year, but maybe in the next couple.
• 30:50
  They're not like a great team, but they're not ass either.
• 30:53
  Yeah, I hate they're playing the Astros, if I remember.
• 30:55
  Yeah, I'm very excited for Pennsylvania's.
• 30:58
  Tack. Oh yeah, me too, because it's 1
• 31:01
  the furthest E we can go of the tacks, and it's also at what
• 31:07
  we're used to being a ski resort.
• 31:09
  Yeah. So seeing the difference in the
• 31:12
  the mountain, you know style. Somebody just say King of the
• 31:15
  mountain, Mountain mountain. Mountain.
• 31:19
  King of the Mountain, King of. But anyways, cuz we're not doing
• 31:24
  any of the West ones out here that are like that, Montana,
• 31:27
  Colorado, Utah this year. So still getting one of those in
• 31:32
  just on the East Coast and kind of seeing the difference.
• 31:36
  Plus it's supposed to be the largest 1.
• 31:38
  So I'm really excited to see all the vendors there and how it's
• 31:41
  set up and what. I would love to like shoot Out
• 31:43
  to like Colorado or something like if Whitney or something was
• 31:47
  like, hey, I'm going to do Colorado and and that worked
• 31:50
  like it was. I would love to do one out West.
• 31:53
  I already know I can't do Utah, don't really want to do Montana
• 31:56
  but I did Colorado back in like 20 maybe.
• 31:59
  One is Colorado. I'm.
• 32:00
  Going to look because I I especially now that we got
• 32:03
  companion pass, I want to use the shit out of it.
• 32:06
  So it's like one of those things where I would I would consider
• 32:09
  it definitely just depends on if it would work schedule wise.
• 32:15
  But because like I did attack in Colorado with granted, it's a
• 32:18
  different venue now, but it was awesome.
• 32:21
  Like it was one of the best ones I did ever and I haven't been
• 32:25
  back. So it would be the one that like
• 32:27
  I would be curious to maybe go back to.
• 32:29
  Yeah, it was steep as a bastard. I've never done that one so.
• 32:33
  I don't know, it was steep. Sounds very unfortunate for my.
• 32:38
  Knee and they had river rafting. I didn't do it.
• 32:40
  I wish I did, but why not? You know how I am with doing
• 32:43
  activities. Oh.
• 32:44
  My God, so cheap, so cheap. But anyway, yeah, I can't wait
• 32:48
  for Pennsylvania either. I have a feeling that the fan
• 32:51
  interaction in the booths is going to be bananas.
• 32:55
  Now in in the. Oh, you at the?
• 32:58
  Booth like walking around at the booth.
• 32:59
  Yeah, I think have we determined if Josh is having a booth at
• 33:02
  Tennessee or not? I'm assuming maybe not just
• 33:05
  because I haven't heard anything about it.
• 33:08
  Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I won't have any stuff
• 33:12
  there, but at this point it's like too late in the game unless
• 33:14
  I just packed a duffel bag with like, I mean, I could do that.
• 33:18
  Just my green long sleeve with the hoods.
• 33:20
  Just do those, the BD flag shirt and some hats and some hats and
• 33:26
  that's it. Just bring what I can fit and
• 33:27
  maybe release straps and then that's it.
• 33:30
  Because I could probably fit Moscos in my Badlands duffel
• 33:33
  bag. Almost all of it.
• 33:35
  And then just be like, hey, whatever, This is what we got.
• 33:38
  When it sells out, it sells out and I'm sure we'll sell
• 33:40
  everything, you know, at Attack, I would imagine.
• 33:43
  So that might be what I do because you get 2 free checked
• 33:46
  bags on Southwest still you do. So one of those checked bags can
• 33:49
  be just packed with merch. You know, it's a way to do it.
• 33:54
  But yeah, I think that's it. I think that's it for this
• 34:00
  podcast. You're making money now on the
• 34:05
  podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 34:06
  So like and subscribe so you can continue and share it.
• 34:09
  Maybe you don't take this and take the link and go share it to
• 34:12
  your Instagram, your Facebook, your TikTok, your ex, your
• 34:15
  Twitter, your only fans, only grams TikTok.
• 34:20
  I think it said TikTok, all those things because the more
• 34:23
  you share and people like and subscribe.
• 34:26
  The more she gets paid. The more I get paid, Yeah, I got
• 34:30
  a whole $60.00 this paycheck. So exciting.
• 34:33
  Yeah, we'll pay for my California mortgage, but no,
• 34:37
  won't even pay for my utility bill.
• 34:40
  Yeah, but that's only for a week.
• 34:41
  So you know, you, you multiply by 4 weeks.
• 34:44
  I mean what is that 240 bucks? Yes, my like trick and Internet
• 34:49
  bill are paid. There you go.
• 34:50
  Hey, that's better than nothing. Yeah, better than nothing.
• 34:54
  Keep that in mind. And it's compounding.
• 34:56
  So over time it'll be potentially much more.
• 35:00
  Yes. Yeah.
• 35:01
  And it's fun. We did it regardless, even with
• 35:04
  no money, did we? Not for quite some time.
• 35:07
  So anyways, yeah, like she said, like subscribe, we'll see you
• 35:10
  guys in Tennessee in like a week and then Boat Cycles Challenge
• 35:14
  in about 3 weeks. Can't freaking wait.
• 35:16
  If you guys are on the fence about coming to Boat Cycles
• 35:18
  Challenge, I highly suggest that you do.
• 35:20
  Even if you have to fly, I personally think it's worth it.
• 35:23
  You can rent a car from the San Diego airport.
• 35:25
  It's about an hour drive to the venue.
• 35:27
  If you get a SUV or something, you can camp in the car or maybe
• 35:31
  book a cabin or AB and B. There's plenty of options.
• 35:34
  So look into it. If you can swing it, come and
• 35:40
  have a good time. So that's all there is to it.
• 35:42
  Thank you guys for watching and we'll see you in the next
• 35:44
  podcast.
