• 0:43
  There you go Congrats to hunter Bragg.
• 0:45
  That's awesome. I love giving away these bows

  We're going to sit down, bang out a podcast to check that out
• 1:00
  on the Motorcycles Podcast, and we'll see you soon.
• 1:04
  And Nyla says hello to the most wonderful people ever.
• 1:07
  But she's mostly talking to me, not you.
• 1:09
  So thank you. I'm excited.
• 1:12
  Merry Christmas. How are you?
• 1:13
  You seem a little a little aloof this morning.
• 1:17
  I believe we determined last hunting season that you used
• 1:20
  that word incorrectly. Do I?
• 1:22
  Yeah. What's it mean I.
• 1:26
  Don't remember, but I believe you used it incorrectly.
• 1:29
  Someone can drop in the comments what aloof.
• 1:32
  Yeah. So yeah, Christmas Day, this pod
• 1:36
  is going to basically have no editing other than the front
• 1:39
  trimmed, the back trimmed, and then it's going to be up.
• 1:42
  So anyways, so for Hunter Bragg, think of that just it goes to
• 1:49
  show you don't have to have a million entries.
• 1:52
  Yeah. It doesn't hurt, but yeah, yeah,
• 1:55
  Hunter Bragg with them coming, coming home with the bow and a
• 1:57
  hat, Yeah, can't beat it. No talk about your outfit.
• 2:02
  The outfits, it's good. I do not want to know the
• 2:05
  pricing that you paid for them, but I do like the outfit.
• 2:10
  So them you're behind. It's the best part.
• 2:15
  Oh, you didn't flip the camera so I can see it on film?
• 2:17
  But I did, I did utilize the bat flap.
• 2:24
  Did you? I did, yeah.
• 2:25
  Nice, yeah. So it is helpful, you know, easy
• 2:29
  access. Yeah, that's nice.
• 2:33
  Yeah, I wanted one for albicans, but they didn't.
• 2:36
  They didn't have one that would come in time.
• 2:38
  I'm sorry taters, but I do think you have a Christmas scarf in
• 2:41
  there that we can put on you today.
• 2:44
  So with Christmas being here, we're kind of not really doing
• 2:50
  Christmas today because we kind of did it yesterday.
• 2:54
  Well, everybody who got people gifts.
• 2:57
  Yeah, I did get gifts for Teddy. I got him a transfer tripod.
• 3:00
  Yeah. And I paid full retail for.
• 3:03
  Yeah, of course, of course. But yeah, because Christmas is a
• 3:07
  lot of fun and I think it's a good time to be grateful for
• 3:10
  what you have in life, you know, what Are you grateful for this
• 3:16
  this year in reflection? You know, my eye itches, you
• 3:27
  know, just just everything. Albicans, of course, you know,
• 3:30
  because he's so wonderful. And of course, you know, the
• 3:34
  lovely James Messer here. Yeah, getting out of the Navy,
• 3:39
  which didn't happen this year, but it's coming up very soon,
• 3:43
  hopefully. I mean, I haven't heard
• 3:44
  anything, but, you know, that's the goal.
• 3:47
  So, you know, all of those things, interviews coming up
• 3:52
  tomorrow and Friday. So hopefully a new job down the
• 3:57
  the pipe here. Just lots of things to.
• 4:01
  I got my smoker's voice on this morning.
• 4:03
  Oh. Yeah, you do, you sound.
• 4:04
  Like chain smoking little. Reds this morning.
• 4:09
  Oh my goodness. Just lots of things to be happy
• 4:12
  for, you know, in the morning it takes a lot for me to get get
• 4:17
  the the wheels turning. I would like to point out as
• 4:20
  well that we did get an e-mail from the podcast of someone with
• 4:28
  the job suggestion. As usual, if you're watching
• 4:32
  this, ask you. Hear of anything?
• 4:35
  Else or any job offers or suggestions that you think may
• 4:38
  be helpful or greatly appreciated.
• 4:41
  And then, you know, we had talked about starting another
• 4:45
  giveaway that was going to be free and just like on YouTube or
• 4:48
  on Instagram type thing. Is that still something you're
• 4:52
  planning to do? And if so, yeah.
• 4:54
  I think so I'm. Going to start it today.
• 4:56
  Do you have big things to tell the people?
• 4:58
  Well, maybe we'll tell today. Maybe we'll start it like
• 5:01
  January 1st or something and, you know, let it run a little
• 5:05
  bit or something while we're in on our hunt.
• 5:08
  Yeah, I mean, my bow is a little, I did get it dipped, so
• 5:13
  it does look a little worn and torn, but so is every bow that
• 5:17
  gets hunted and used and, you know, used and abused.
• 5:22
  But I think what we'll do for that bow, that would be the 5th
• 5:25
  bow, it won't happen within the year.
• 5:28
  So we'll count it for the next year.
• 5:30
  But I think we'll just do it as a free giveaway on Instagram,
• 5:35
  just like a comment follow, you know, whatever.
• 5:38
  I don't know what they do, like share or whatnot and take
• 5:43
  someone out of the Insta. You just have to cap it to where
• 5:46
  they can only tag like one time. Because what happens is if you
• 5:51
  give people unlimited tags and they, like, tag like 15 of their
• 5:55
  buddies or 20 other buddies or whatever, they can actually get
• 5:58
  their like accounts removed first.
• 6:01
  Oh, really? Yeah.
• 6:02
  So you want to make sure you say at Max you can tag three people
• 6:06
  or something? I did not know that it's.
• 6:08
  True, that happened to my buddy Knights of the Apex.
• 6:14
  My boy Koda did one of these giveaways and people got their
• 6:18
  accounts removed. Tried to joined too many times.
• 6:21
  Oh. Interesting.
• 6:23
  Yeah, put a cap of like 5 and then you get bonus points if you
• 6:27
  like, share if you like, if you a lot.
• 6:30
  Of comments on there. Yeah, but I think that would be
• 6:34
  fun. You know it's a free one.
• 6:36
  There's a way to use a website, I think for.
• 6:37
  That there is, yes. Which makes it a lot easier than
• 6:40
  printing names out and whatnot, yeah.
• 6:42
  I think you just do A tag and that's about it.
• 6:47
  Like make sure they follow and the tag, yeah, maybe a story
• 6:53
  share. But like that I think you would
• 6:54
  do see a lot of people. So it just depends.
• 6:57
  Yeah, usually just do that as like a bonus point, you know,
• 7:00
  or. Whatever a little tough about
• 7:02
  your bow specifically and why I think it's good to do it.
• 7:05
  You know, this way that's real easy to enter is your bow is
• 7:09
  quite specific, you know, because it's left-handed 50. #
• 7:16
  limbs. I think I do have the limbs for
• 7:20
  the no. Or is that for my Gen. 2 that
• 7:24
  was? The other one.
• 7:25
  Oh OK so I do have an extra random set of limbs but that's
• 7:28
  for a Gen. 2 so. Anyways, I think that'll be fun
• 7:30
  though. Yeah, actually it'll be shoot 4
• 7:34
  mows this year. I think last year at motorcycles
• 7:37
  we gave away at least one. I think it was one, maybe 2.
• 7:41
  So, yeah, total we probably give it away six or seven bows after
• 7:46
  that one's done. There's a lot in two years.
• 7:49
  So keep doing that. I think this year it'd be fun to
• 7:52
  have a giveaway going pretty much all year.
• 7:54
  And I think that will be the case.
• 7:56
  I mean, maybe not from like February through the challenge
• 8:02
  on May 17th and 18th, just because there's like a a lot of
• 8:06
  stuff happening, you know, in, in that, as you said, you know,
• 8:09
  I've been, I've been trying. Yeah, I think you've said a lot.
• 8:13
  And then I figured, you know, but I figured we should chat
• 8:21
  about reflection, you know, Gosh Dang it.
• 8:24
  Say it again. Jeez, you're bad at it, you
• 8:30
  know. So you said that you're grateful
• 8:34
  for getting out of the military and potentially landing a new
• 8:37
  job suit. Those are good things.
• 8:39
  Those are really good things. I've been looking forward to it.
• 8:43
  For myself, shoot, I don't know. I guess just a big year of
• 8:46
  growth, you know, a lot of accomplishment.
• 8:50
  It kind of makes sense right there though, but yeah.
• 8:53
  I got to stop saying. That it's.
• 8:54
  Making a bad habit, that's my thumb or something.
• 8:58
  But yeah, I don't know, I guess just a lot of growth and both
• 9:04
  personally and of course, business wise, basically making
• 9:07
  a full transition from real estate to content, which is
• 9:13
  really cool. And yeah, I think that next year
• 9:16
  is going to be even better, yeah.
• 9:20
  I think you, I think you, you know, after the shoot, you
• 9:23
  really took the yes pill. You said I'm going to say yes to
• 9:26
  almost every and I'm. Going to continue doing.
• 9:29
  It and that's a good, you know, with stipulation sometimes, you
• 9:35
  know, but that's a good pill to take, especially in your case,
• 9:42
  you know, the any yes is an opportunity to film an
• 9:47
  opportunity to create content, an opportunity to meet new
• 9:51
  people, which you know, as you've seen in the past has
• 9:55
  been, you know, oh shoot, now I'm doing it.
• 9:59
  I really believe that social skills are maybe the most
• 10:02
  important trait, like especially as technology becomes more and
• 10:07
  more prominent in kids, like it's so important to get out and
• 10:10
  socialize and have those skills and meet people.
• 10:13
  So to your point about doing stuff with more and more people,
• 10:20
  you never know what opportunity some of those things might lead
• 10:24
  to and same to them meeting you. You know what I mean?
• 10:27
  It's like a two way St. ideally. And you could because I want
• 10:30
  everyone to win and succeed, you know, and I really mean that.
• 10:34
  That's not, I'm not messing around like I want everyone to
• 10:38
  do super well. And, and yeah.
• 10:41
  And it yeah, 2024, it has to be one of the best series of my
• 10:45
  life. I mean, it's got to be in the
• 10:47
  top 3 or 4, you know, if not the top.
• 10:50
  So obviously it's a big, you know, it's a big bar for next
• 10:55
  year. But I feel, I felt, I always
• 10:58
  feel at the end of the year, if I have a strong year, like with
• 11:01
  numbers and stuff, I always think, man, that's going to be
• 11:04
  like impossible to match. And then, you know, sometimes
• 11:07
  you do, sometimes you don't. But I'm definitely going to give
• 11:09
  it my best shot. And I think there's a lot of
• 11:15
  potential within 2025 just from some of the new things you'll be
• 11:22
  doing. Some of the new ideas we've had
• 11:27
  like the one we still haven't really talked about it at all.
• 11:31
  So we won't talk about it here. But the thing we talked about
• 11:34
  with Chuck, I think is a a fabulous idea.
• 11:40
  So there's just new new avenues that can be, you know, create
• 11:46
  potential that we're not in the previous year to make it better
• 11:50
  and better. Do we think it's a good time to
• 11:55
  talk about some of the like archery events that I or both of
• 12:00
  us or the some of our group are going to be doing in 2025 or you
• 12:05
  think we should maybe hold off on that a little?
• 12:07
  Bit no, I think we can talk a little bit about like you know
• 12:10
  what 2025 may have in in store. All right.
• 12:16
  Well, if that's the case, you know we are not just do you know
• 12:21
  we are going to be doing Oklahoma total Archery, which
• 12:30
  I've heard really good things about and I have now been to
• 12:34
  Oklahoma one time but never to shoot.
• 12:36
  So go do that one and then that's like our first shoot of
• 12:42
  the year really. I mean that one's in April.
• 12:44
  I think then I'm doing Tennessee with you may come to that, but
• 12:51
  you're not sure that's. Going to.
• 12:54
  Be with basically our San Antonio group again, run it
• 12:58
  back. Should be pretty bitching.
• 12:59
  I got to obviously try to defend by title.
• 13:02
  Yeah. And then after that, Boat
• 13:05
  Disciples Challenge three, May 17th and 18th, then Pennsylvania
• 13:12
  10. Yeah, all in May. 3.
• 13:16
  So May's going to be busy, but yeah, we're going to be bouncing
• 13:19
  all over the place. And I'm excited for it because
• 13:22
  one of the reasons I like to do tack is to mingle with people
• 13:25
  and get to, you know, rub elbows with the viewers.
• 13:30
  And I've done that a lot, you know, from Montana and West, the
• 13:36
  bunch of those tacks. I'm never on the Eastern side.
• 13:39
  So this year we're, you know, going the opposite way, which I
• 13:42
  think will be really. Good and it's, you know, one of,
• 13:45
  if not as they say, the biggest tack event now.
• 13:49
  So I'm just very interested to see size wise how it compares to
• 13:55
  Utah's, which has been the biggest one that they have and
• 13:59
  the biggest one we've been to. So I think it'll be fun and
• 14:03
  it'll be interesting to see like, you know, just to meeting
• 14:07
  people out there on the East, which is, you know, your content
• 14:11
  luckily is very just archery related.
• 14:15
  So you relate to a larger audience than just hunting.
• 14:19
  Because if you just did, you know, Western hunting as a
• 14:22
  channel really like nobody on the East could.
• 14:28
  I mean, you could maybe be interested in it, but like it
• 14:31
  doesn't teach you anything over there.
• 14:34
  So be interesting to meet new people over there.
• 14:37
  And it's just that whole experience.
• 14:40
  I'm I'm just hoping, you know, that's the I go back to every
• 14:44
  time. Well, how work pans out and what
• 14:47
  job I end up with because you think about how busy may will be
• 14:52
  like that's a lot of days off. So.
• 14:57
  Yeah, no, it is a lot of days off and that's the tough part
• 15:02
  about having a a standard like work schedule.
• 15:05
  It's just really hard to. That's why I just, I pray for
• 15:10
  remote because at minimum, you know, there may be times where
• 15:14
  at least if I'm traveling, I can be working from the airport.
• 15:18
  I can be, you know, I can mix the schedule up to work early
• 15:22
  mornings and late afternoons and.
• 15:25
  Ideally you know to find. Yeah.
• 15:29
  It's it's. It's interesting how, you know,
• 15:34
  when you switch to a like, you know, a regular nine to five
• 15:38
  job, you're really like trading your time for money is what
• 15:43
  you're doing. So you're like giving.
• 15:45
  So you're giving away freedom essentially of your own choices
• 15:50
  and, and desires for money and security and good health
• 15:55
  insurance and all these different things.
• 15:57
  So it's like a good trade off that most of society is willing
• 16:01
  to take, you know? And I don't know why, but I just
• 16:06
  never was able to. Like my mind can't process life
• 16:10
  that way. I've been in business for Nate
• 16:14
  Ellingsworth, asked me about it and I was like holy smokes.
• 16:17
  I've been doing business entrepreneurship now for 10
• 16:19
  years straight. And before that I had a job for
• 16:23
  like 2 years and before that I had done business for like 3
• 16:26
  years. I've already done business like
• 16:29
  almost half my life. Yeah, creating your own
• 16:32
  schedule. Yeah, the more, the more I, you
• 16:36
  know, do my unpaid internship, essentially my unpaid
• 16:41
  employment. I think they also call that,
• 16:44
  Nah, I won't say that. Anyways, the more I do my unpaid
• 16:50
  internship with bonuses, it's, you know, it becomes more and
• 16:56
  more frustrating to to think about like, you know, job that
• 17:03
  you potentially will have to go into the office for.
• 17:05
  But right now you just you have to make money.
• 17:08
  But it's definitely not just because I want, you know, a job
• 17:14
  through you or anything like that.
• 17:16
  Like it sounds strange because then it's like you almost feel
• 17:19
  like, well, then am I employed or like, is he the only one
• 17:25
  employed? But no, you would just be paying
• 17:28
  me. But in a sense it's great for
• 17:30
  taxes for you, but at the same time, it just makes life so much
• 17:38
  easier to say like, Yep, Nope, you need a film guide.
• 17:42
  Brianna can do it. And and it's like, Nope, you're
• 17:45
  not hunting this trip. You're filming easy day.
• 17:47
  I'm going to film and having fun.
• 17:51
  And. No, at least I got to get at
• 17:53
  least one a year, you know, but I'll put that in the contract
• 17:57
  for my employment high fence only with a feeder, but I'll
• 18:02
  take it. But it just it when you think
• 18:08
  about it, like from a business standpoint, the more I involve
• 18:12
  myself in assisting in things behind the scenes for you, the
• 18:17
  more annoying or frustrating it is to say like, Oh, Nope, I also
• 18:22
  need to remember I'm about to start working at potential nine
• 18:24
  to five or even remote either one, but not being able to just
• 18:28
  fully dedicate like, you know, I could be investing time into
• 18:32
  thinking or working on like this thing we've talked about with
• 18:35
  Chuck or, you know, how to get more items for giveaways for
• 18:40
  people or, you know, getting you to more events.
• 18:45
  And that's not talking like potentially going to the Bo tech
• 18:50
  rally in late July or August, which you're going to, which
• 18:56
  would also be like something I think, you know, they would want
• 18:59
  somewhat of the group there, Ted and I or something.
• 19:02
  But who knows, you know, you could go by yourself, but
• 19:05
  they're just these, you know, I might have to say no to which it
• 19:08
  sucks. You know, I don't like it
• 19:12
  because it also just makes it easier like if things pop up or
• 19:15
  need to be done or what not like you can go be a social butterfly
• 19:21
  and I can get the things done. So we'll see.
• 19:26
  I, I think you'll definitely eat up there.
• 19:29
  You know, we'd like to, I think hope by the end of 2025, but I
• 19:33
  think more realistically could be maybe the end of 2026, so 2
• 19:39
  years from now. But we'll just have to see what
• 19:42
  the growth scale looks like. Yes, that's that is it.
• 19:47
  That's very, very good, well thought out statement, right?
• 19:52
  Yeah. I think you lost track about 15
• 19:54
  minutes ago, but I was. Very.
• 19:56
  Into Yeah, I was. Very into them, just, yeah, I
• 20:02
  think, you know, I'm excited for Christmas.
• 20:05
  We're going to go right now. We're going to go out, put some
• 20:08
  new components on the Kawasaki Ridge side by side.
• 20:11
  Kind of get ready for an upcoming hunt.
• 20:14
  We're going to film a bow breakdown for my bow.
• 20:17
  We're going to bring one of those baseball games and maybe
• 20:20
  play that. And then we're going to hit some
• 20:23
  kickers. Yeah, then we're going to do
• 20:24
  some little biking and different things.
• 20:27
  So it's going to be a fun Christmas and looking forward to
• 20:32
  it and we'll return the next. One, is your friend awake?
• 20:38
  I feel like you're like wrapping up a pod that's only been going
• 20:41
  for about 15 minutes. I'm not really sure what's
• 20:44
  happening right now. OK.
• 20:46
  Is that time to end or it's? Enough, you know, I think it's
• 20:49
  enough. It's just a little sample
• 20:51
  bladder, you know, for Christmas, unless you do you
• 20:54
  have something I. Don't know, this is an
• 20:58
  interesting pod. Then you want to throw in the
• 21:01
  mix. I don't know.
• 21:02
  I don't know. You know what were your best?
• 21:04
  You know your top three of 2024. Top three like moments or what?
• 21:09
  Yeah, sure, sure. Obviously becoming an uncle is
• 21:17
  really cool. Yeah, you know he's cute.
• 21:20
  Yeah, he's awesome. And then, Oh no, we got a delay
• 21:24
  of game for the dog. He wanted to be invited up so.
• 21:27
  So yeah, obviously becoming an uncle bitching, I would say.
• 21:36
  I think Ted getting his mule deer this year, January was
• 21:40
  really, really cool. Just like a really cool stock.
• 21:43
  Cool moment, big accomplishment. And it was cool to be like there
• 21:46
  were times when you couldn't see him for a while, but it was very
• 21:49
  cool to to literally watch it essentially from the like 300
• 21:54
  yards away. You're very close and.
• 21:57
  Yeah. To see him get in his element of
• 22:00
  like Ted is a hunter. He may be 67 years old, but he
• 22:07
  is a hunter and he's someone to be listened to.
• 22:09
  He has a lot of of tips and tricks and.
• 22:13
  And if you don't want to hear, he'll tell you anyways.
• 22:15
  You can. Help.
• 22:20
  That was good. So I would be too.
• 22:21
  And then I guess #3 would probably be kind of a tie
• 22:27
  between some of the collaborations that we did this
• 22:30
  year, but also the success of Bonus cycles challenge too.
• 22:34
  I would, I'm very proud of that was a lot of effort.
• 22:37
  And then, you know, I'm already so thinking about next year's
• 22:42
  challenge. So once it's once we're back
• 22:45
  from, you know, hunting, it's going to be basically event
• 22:50
  time, you know, like let's really get into the weeds of the
• 22:52
  event. Another thing I would like to
• 22:54
  say about the event is last year Ramona VFW sponsored the 1st 10
• 23:00
  military. Past or current people that
• 23:04
  signed up for the events shoot for free.
• 23:06
  This year between Ramona VFW again and the Bo Disciples, we
• 23:12
  are doing the 1st 20 bedrooms. Yeah, and I think that's
• 23:16
  awesome. We live in such a veteran and
• 23:19
  active active duty dense population that I think it's
• 23:24
  beneficial for for them. Ready.
• 23:28
  I mean, that's crazy to already have that locked in.
• 23:29
  But I would say, too, if if you're listening to the podcast
• 23:33
  and are interested in potentially being a food vendor,
• 23:37
  a vendor or a course sponsor, you can shoot us over an e-mail
• 23:43
  to Bo Disciples at Gmail. Or you can hit the the little
• 23:48
  fill out on the website. Yeah.
• 23:50
  On the website and then we can send you the proper forms that
• 23:53
  will give you the pricing breakdown, what you get for the
• 23:59
  money, kind of the whole breakdown of why you'd be a
• 24:01
  vendor. But last year our vendors did
• 24:03
  amazing. Yeah, I think 1, you know, said
• 24:07
  that they that event sold the most they've ever sold at A at
• 24:14
  a, an event, which I think is awesome because like it's a big
• 24:19
  event for being new, you know, only the second year, last year
• 24:25
  and the first year of even having vendors.
• 24:28
  So comparing it to what they probably other events they've
• 24:32
  gone to, I think that's awesome. That just says that like the
• 24:35
  audience coming to your event is truly engaged in archery.
• 24:40
  They love the sport. They love, you know, new things
• 24:43
  for the sport, things that will better themselves as a a
• 24:47
  shooter, an Archer, a hunter, whatever it may be.
• 24:50
  So. What would your top three
• 24:52
  moments be for yourself? Top.
• 24:54
  Three top. 3. Fuck, I need a cookie right now.
• 24:58
  Like a gingerbread cookie or like a cool there's.
• 25:02
  They're not called scones. I can't remember.
• 25:04
  My grandmother always have them. They're shaped like this, but
• 25:08
  they're kind of like a hard bread usually, sometimes dipped
• 25:11
  in chocolate. Brittle it sounds like super hot
• 25:18
  ass. Oh, it's so delicious.
• 25:20
  You dip it in hot coffee and it becomes soft.
• 25:22
  You know what I think that you have this thing where like even
• 25:26
  if you didn't like the food you're describing, you would say
• 25:30
  you like it because it's from 1927 it.
• 25:34
  Was better time. It was better time.
• 25:35
  And I think that like you have this big draw like to to old,
• 25:42
  old, old traditions. Yeah, I do enjoy them.
• 25:46
  They're fantastic. But I that's, I don't not like
• 25:50
  the food. I like the food.
• 25:52
  It's just better. It's good.
• 25:55
  So anyways, I can't remember what it's called, but I don't
• 25:58
  know why that popped in my head where I was going to sip my
• 26:00
  coffee. No, it's not because I haven't
• 26:02
  had one last year, but I would like to this coming year.
• 26:05
  I've actually thought about it a few times at the grocery store,
• 26:08
  so. You're going to give us your
• 26:09
  top. So anyways, top three, top
• 26:12
  three, I'm thinking there's, you know, so many things.
• 26:22
  I guess one could definitely be my January mule deer.
• 26:27
  It was my first mule deer. And I know you say the the Coos
• 26:32
  was a stock as well, but it was just a different experience,
• 26:35
  like a full on stock, you know, from yeah.
• 26:42
  So the mule deer would be, you know, one.
• 26:49
  I went to Australia last year or the year before.
• 26:53
  Did I go in 2024? Couldn't tell you.
• 26:56
  No, I think I went in 2023. So it doesn't count next one.
• 27:06
  What else did I do this year? You know, I don't have a good
• 27:09
  memory. Remind me of some things I did
• 27:12
  this year. Well, you know you have done a
• 27:20
  lot, even got a truck. Oh yeah, that's definitely on
• 27:24
  the list. Got a mountain bike?
• 27:26
  Yeah, maybe we'll call that it. You know I have a short term
• 27:29
  memory so I can't remember things in the past.
• 27:32
  Put in a lot of effort towards getting ready to exit the
• 27:36
  military. You got to have Alina.
• 27:39
  You shot at a bunch of turkeys and missed.
• 27:43
  And then did no fall Turkey, honey.
• 27:45
  One day was enough. Yeah, no, maybe we'll say, and I
• 27:51
  did a lot of, I guess I should be proud of the amount of
• 27:53
  doctor's appointments that I've put myself finally through that
• 27:56
  I didn't want to and procrastinated on to prepare for
• 28:00
  getting out. Need to start that disability
• 28:03
  claim now. But I would say biking would
• 28:08
  maybe be #2 on the list there, because that's a that shit's
• 28:13
  tough. You're biking.
• 28:15
  It's tough. I thought I broke my ankle the
• 28:17
  other day. Ankles are malleable, did you
• 28:21
  know? That I did know that.
• 28:22
  I mean that thing straight up that the wrong direction left is
• 28:28
  not supposed to go this way, you know, to an extent.
• 28:33
  But like as he was like stuck underneath the bike, I was
• 28:37
  trapped. Trapped, I tell you.
• 28:40
  Right, right. Yeah, but I, you know, I've been
• 28:46
  sticking to it and I think it's because I like challenging
• 28:51
  things and we know I don't have any balance or directional
• 28:59
  sense. So.
• 29:05
  And then I see you get on my bicycle and just do it like it's
• 29:08
  nothing. Like it's a piece of cake, you
• 29:11
  know, like it's easy peasy. So then you get frustrated and
• 29:14
  you're like, gosh Dang it, I'm doing this.
• 29:17
  And then I get about like, you know, 2 1/2 berms down and fall
• 29:20
  off the bicycle or whatever it is.
• 29:22
  And then I get more frustrated, so I get right back on the
• 29:25
  bicycle. Biking is difficult.
• 29:27
  Yeah, so biking has been very fun.
• 29:30
  I like picking trails that are too hard for me.
• 29:33
  But you know, like you, what you told me, you session, you
• 29:36
  session. So like, you know, I think what
• 29:39
  I'd like to do is just start sessioning, you know, like
• 29:42
  little segments, go back and try it again and then eventually
• 29:46
  I'll piece those segments together and do the whole trail.
• 29:51
  You know, who needs to start on the easy shit?
• 29:54
  Also, I can't seem to find an intermediate.
• 29:59
  It's like it's either like easy riding a fire road or it's hard
• 30:06
  as shit. Where is the middle ground?
• 30:08
  The. Bike park was very immediately.
• 30:11
  Oh for sure, but I mean like trails.
• 30:13
  I think you need that this session that I bark a little and
• 30:17
  had a hit slap those turns. Yeah, I guess so.
• 30:22
  Well, we'll hit some kickers today because now I want to
• 30:24
  start jumping in the air. What I learned is why I fell is
• 30:28
  because I don't have enough momentum to go up.
• 30:33
  You come down and like, I feel like I'm going at a decent pace,
• 30:37
  but obviously it's not enough to come back up because it just
• 30:42
  loses. As soon as I hit that bottom and
• 30:45
  then go up, all momentum is gone out of the bicycle.
• 30:48
  It just like comes to a straight standstill and then all of a
• 30:51
  sudden you freak and you start trying to pedal to Crest the top
• 30:54
  of the little hill and then you're wobbling because the
• 30:59
  bike's almost literally not moving.
• 31:02
  And that's how I just. I'll tell you what, I'm a cozy
• 31:05
  little cop right now. I'm so cozy.
• 31:09
  I don't know if morning pods are for you.
• 31:13
  I'm far more lively in the mornings.
• 31:15
  Than you are it doesn't seem like it today I'm.
• 31:18
  Just so comfy. Right.
• 31:19
  I know it's the onesie. Yeah.
• 31:21
  I'm comfy. And you went to Starbees in it,
• 31:23
  which is amazing. Well, you you, you know you
• 31:27
  needed your Starbee. I did.
• 31:29
  I wasn't. Going to change?
• 31:31
  Well, you see, I have to get the Sugar Plum Cheese Danish as many
• 31:34
  times as possible because I think after January 1st it's
• 31:37
  going to be gone. It's only around Christmas time
• 31:40
  and it's very upsetting. What's a better seasonal food
• 31:43
  item, the sugar plum cheese Danish or the MC rib?
• 31:48
  The sugar plum cheese Danish obviously.
• 31:51
  Maybe like 20 years ago. I think maybe we should go get a
• 31:54
  MC rib. Yeah, maybe we'll film a short
• 31:57
  eating MC ribs. Yeah, MC Rib is is super hot
• 32:00
  fire. I just like.
• 32:03
  I'm sure it probably does taste, can't say like it's.
• 32:06
  Just like BBQ sauce. And it has.
• 32:08
  Like the meat looks like rubber. Yeah, I mean.
• 32:12
  It looks like they painted those little black lines on.
• 32:15
  Rib is in, I think it's in right now, so we could maybe go to the
• 32:19
  Mickey D's and get a Mickey. Rib it is, but also like why is
• 32:22
  it like cut in shape like ribs but there's no bones in it?
• 32:27
  I used to have this buddy that he, he's one of my biking
• 32:32
  friends and he used to do this thing.
• 32:35
  He doesn't do it anymore, but when he was younger he would
• 32:38
  during the crib season he would # like 50 of them.
• 32:41
  Like each year try to get more MC ribs.
• 32:46
  Yeah, he doesn't do it. You know I need you to get a
• 32:48
  hold of some of your biking buddies.
• 32:51
  Yeah. And we're going to film some
• 32:53
  videos with them. But teaching me how to bike?
• 32:57
  Yeah, we can do biking and some archery both.
• 33:00
  Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, I would like, I want to
• 33:03
  hear the trips, the trips, the tricks, tricks.
• 33:06
  I want to hear the tricks from the pros.
• 33:08
  I also want to go to Woodward and I want to jump in the foam
• 33:11
  pit. You got a ways to go, pal.
• 33:14
  Yeah. Oh yeah.
• 33:15
  Why you? Wouldn't even ride up the ramp
• 33:17
  or down the ramp, you'd be too scared.
• 33:21
  Well, how do you get to the So like I watched that video of
• 33:23
  Matt doing it, like when you get to the you're on that thing and
• 33:26
  you drop in and then you ride, ride, ride, and then you hit the
• 33:29
  ramp up into the the foam pit. How do you get up to like the
• 33:33
  start? There you walk.
• 33:34
  Stairs or ride up there. Oh.
• 33:35
  OK, stairs. There's there's a stair option.
• 33:38
  Yeah, but that's not going to be the hard part.
• 33:40
  You're going to be too scared to roll down the ramp and then hit
• 33:42
  the the ramp because it looks like a wall it's so steep.
• 33:48
  I got it. So if you crash, you're just
• 33:50
  going to. Face, if you give me knee pads,
• 33:51
  I'll do it. OOP, I got a text message.
• 33:55
  I'm going to do it. I think that this was ultimately
• 33:58
  a good pod. I think so.
• 34:01
  I think we talked about some good things.
• 34:03
  Oh, you know that one we didn't bring up.
• 34:05
  Are you doing Vegas? I don't know, but I don't know.
• 34:08
  I do love Vegas off the off the asleep.
• 34:13
  So we'll see. It's in March, which March is.
• 34:17
  It's an open month. March is a pretty good month for
• 34:20
  me. You do have to sign up by a
• 34:22
  certain point and I also have not got to shoot the target boat
• 34:26
  nearly as much as I would like. I don't think you will because
• 34:30
  you have so many other things unless you just commit.
• 34:34
  Unless you just sign up. Just sign up.
• 34:38
  We'll see. I'll just I'll.
• 34:39
  Just sign up. I'll decide on the next pod.
• 34:42
  I think you need to do it. Maybe I will do it.
• 34:45
  I think you need to do it. Maybe I will.
• 34:47
  We'll see. Say yes.
• 34:49
  Not at the moment, not right now, but I'll think about it.
• 34:52
  You need to say yes. It's the year of saying yes.
• 34:58
  And it's like, you know all this new content just waiting to be
• 35:03
  created and people want to watch you shoot a target rig and you
• 35:07
  know all your mad skills. Maybe I can gamble, go to a pool
• 35:12
  party one. I'll pass on all of that.
• 35:15
  I'll take a spa day, but sure. Who's going to film my content?
• 35:22
  I'll film, just not at the gambling and the pool party.
• 35:26
  You bring that for that. That probably works out better.
• 35:31
  For me, yeah. Also, my scootering's been big.
• 35:39
  Oh yeah. People, but people been loving.
• 35:41
  You're welcome for that for Christmas.
• 35:43
  Oh. Thank you.
• 35:43
  Yeah, it's very nice. My street bangers.
• 35:46
  Yes. That that trick I did on
• 35:48
  Christmas Eve is very impressive.
• 35:50
  The half cab off the three stair backwards, 180 tail with the two
• 35:55
  stair. It's a nice little pack.
• 35:57
  I asked for 360, but yeah. I mean you put 360 off the
• 36:03
  second set. Yeah, that's what I want.
• 36:06
  Yeah, I mean. Yeah, I've got, I can jump, you
• 36:09
  know, curbs now you can. Yeah.
• 36:11
  You know, I watched a man when I finally returned to my vehicle
• 36:14
  the other day, biking old man, old man on a big old mountain
• 36:19
  bicycle, a full curb. You know, that thing's like 8
• 36:23
  inches. He was going so slow and he just
• 36:26
  like pop pop the front wheel up onto the curb, popping back
• 36:33
  wheel going up onto the curb and then rode right off of it to his
• 36:36
  vehicle. Bad.
• 36:39
  Ass How did he have enough strength to pop it up there?
• 36:41
  He was going so slow, he. Just got up.
• 36:44
  Yank that sucker. Yeah, pretty old, but anyway,
