3:04
Speaker 6: observe my boy engulf himself in. Travis Pastrano. I know
3:09
Speaker 6: you're not a big SNL guy, but Chris Farley used
3:12
Speaker 6: to have a show on SNL, like a small little
3:16
Speaker 6: skit where it was like the Chris Farley Show, and
3:18
Speaker 6: he would have like whoever the maid the host was
3:20
Speaker 6: or whatever, and it'd be like bon Jovi or these
3:23
Speaker 6: other guys. He'd be like, so like, remember when you
3:26
Speaker 6: said this, and he's like, yeah, I remember what I
3:28
Speaker 6: said that he's pretty cool.
3:29
Speaker 2: Huh yeah.
3:31
Speaker 6: It is essentially what my thought process with Travis Straw
3:34
Speaker 6: is due because it is It's everything.
3:36
Speaker 2: It was.
3:37
Speaker 6: It was wake up in the morning before school, start him,
3:41
Speaker 6: get on the dirt bike as his sun was coming up,
3:43
Speaker 6: go ride in the state land of Arizona, come back
3:46
Speaker 6: right before school started, go to school.
3:48
Speaker 2: Come back.
3:49
Speaker 6: CMT would be on and it would either be some
3:51
Speaker 6: sort of music video taking place or Dukes of Hazzard's playing.
3:54
Speaker 6: Take that out, put a Nitro Circus DVD in and
3:58
Speaker 6: just watch Travis Pastran, Kenny of the Cowboy Bartrum, all
4:02
Speaker 6: these guys, the Street by Tommy just get after it,
4:06
Speaker 6: over and over again. I would watch these things on repeat,
4:08
Speaker 6: thinking like, how do I become one of these guys?
4:12
Speaker 2: How do I?
4:12
Speaker 6: How am I? How do I get to know them,
4:15
Speaker 6: meet them, be a part of it, Ride a dirt bike,
4:18
Speaker 6: learn to do a backflip, get a contract. And then
4:21
Speaker 6: is there is do they have a thing with mental militia?
4:23
Speaker 6: Do they not have a thing with mental milsita? Because
4:24
Speaker 6: you don't see whole lot of things going on. It
4:26
Speaker 6: is such a core piece of who I am and
4:30
Speaker 6: I am so excited about it. But when you're like
4:33
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna observe, I'm like, I kind of need you.
4:34
Speaker 6: I need a spotter. This is like Johnny Knoxville at
4:37
Speaker 6: UFC all over again. What's happening? This is it.
4:40
Speaker 3: I see the smile on my face as you're talking
4:42
Speaker 3: about the difference is You're gonna be looking at Travis
4:44
Speaker 3: doing that, and I'm going to still be staring at
4:46
Speaker 3: you smiling, and then when you come to an end
4:49
Speaker 3: at some point, I'm just gonna go it's awesome. Look
4:55
Speaker 3: at the impact you made on him. Yeah, dude.
4:57
Speaker 6: We met Jack and Jared saw him at power Slop
5:01
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago, and we went up to
5:03
Speaker 6: him and be like, hey, Jack had a great Like
5:05
Speaker 6: I would love Jack you to say what you said
5:07
Speaker 6: to Travis because it was I.
5:09
Speaker 7: Said, he changed my life from the ages of fourteen
5:12
Speaker 7: to seventeen. I'm sure a lot of other white guys
5:14
Speaker 7: in America.
5:15
Speaker 6: And he just goes all right, cool, Yeah, like like
5:18
Speaker 6: took a compliment like instra, I didn't.
5:20
Speaker 3: Care, so you're gonna say that entirely.
5:23
Speaker 6: He's all right, man, all right, I'm thinking of myself.
5:28
Speaker 6: I wish you'd give me more, but I don't care
5:30
Speaker 6: if you I don't care if he's like I Taylor,
5:32
Speaker 6: I hate you. Will's cool. Everyone else is awesome. You sucked, though,
5:37
Speaker 6: I'd be like best podcast ever. Man, It'd be like, dude,
5:41
Speaker 6: there's no expectation for me on this podcast other than like, yo,
5:43
Speaker 6: I can't.
5:44
Speaker 3: Believe he's sick.
5:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, To be honest, I've been thinking about it,
5:48
Speaker 6: ended it for a while and you just thank you,
5:50
Speaker 6: thank you for this anyway, dude, we're half Travis with
5:55
Speaker 6: stroll on and this is as cool as it gets.
5:58
Speaker 6: Almost as cool as going to NASCAR last night.
6:02
Speaker 3: Oh dude being the Grand Masters.
6:04
Speaker 6: No, no, he did it on purpose once and when
6:10
Speaker 6: he said, I was like, kind of like it better.
6:12
Speaker 6: I like it better already. Will is changing the game
6:14
Speaker 6: right there. Unbelievable experience. Here's what NASCAR does better than
6:17
Speaker 6: I think any other sport. It's the level of like
6:20
Speaker 6: they go and do whatever you want, have fun, be
6:22
Speaker 6: a part of the pit crew. You go talk to all
6:24
Speaker 6: the people you want to go in. You want to
6:26
Speaker 6: go in the trailer, Go ahead and go to the trailer.
6:27
Speaker 6: You meet the drivers, going and meet the drivers.
6:29
Speaker 2: It is.
6:29
Speaker 6: The access is truly unbelievable, and I think all it
6:32
Speaker 6: takes is for more fans to go to a race.
6:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, that's exactly. Like you look out on you
6:37
Speaker 3: look out on the grounds and you see everybody tailgating,
6:39
Speaker 3: like you see campers, people that have been just there
6:41
Speaker 3: for who knows how long days at a time, just
6:44
Speaker 3: for that race. And seeing all the fans go on
6:45
Speaker 3: the infield, like when we got introduced on the stage
6:48
Speaker 3: along with everybody else and there's people like coming up
6:50
Speaker 3: to the rail. But just the vibe at a NASCAR
6:53
Speaker 3: race Because we were acting asking a couple of the
6:55
Speaker 3: Bit crew guys that we met, we were like, hey,
6:58
Speaker 3: what's this how would you rate now compared to the
7:01
Speaker 3: other races out there? Because we've been to three now
7:02
Speaker 3: in Nashville, Like I went as a kid, but I
7:05
Speaker 3: don't even really remember the one I went to. I
7:07
Speaker 3: think it was in Saint Louis. And he was like,
7:09
Speaker 3: this is probably like a five or a six on
7:11
Speaker 3: the grand scale of like races you can go to.
7:14
Speaker 3: Obviously you got Daytona, you got Talladay, and I'm like,
7:16
Speaker 3: what is it? Like what is that feeling like when
7:18
Speaker 3: you're surrounded by those crowds and everything. He's like, bro,
7:21
Speaker 3: because he was a former football player, and he's like, man,
7:24
Speaker 3: it is as close as you get to run it out,
7:27
Speaker 3: to run out of the tunnel on the football field
7:29
Speaker 3: with the fans and just the electricity that takes place
7:32
Speaker 3: at the high level. The Daytona's the big ones, the
7:35
Speaker 3: massive ones, And for me, it's like you look around,
7:37
Speaker 3: you see how much fun everybody has, like all the
7:40
Speaker 3: things you can do, they have so many, They have
7:43
Speaker 3: so many what do they call, like, yeah, fan activations.
7:46
Speaker 3: He semi trucks everywhere, like tents, everything going on where
7:50
Speaker 3: everybody's having so much fun. You look around and you're like, dude,
7:52
Speaker 3: people just need to go to NASCAR races. They just
7:55
Speaker 3: need to get there and then you just you get
7:58
Speaker 3: it once you're there.
7:59
Speaker 6: You know, when we were with Ryan Blaney and Bubblah
8:01
Speaker 6: Blah Wallace on the first racing with the boys, and
8:04
Speaker 6: they were talking about doing all the fan stuff. It's
8:07
Speaker 6: kind of tough on the day of the races. You
8:08
Speaker 6: want to get focused and all the things. As we
8:10
Speaker 6: were walking through and doing all the activations and all
8:12
Speaker 6: those things, I'm thinking to myself, it's kind of a
8:15
Speaker 6: blessing to these guys to do that fan stuff the
8:19
Speaker 6: day of the race, kind of humanizing the element between
8:21
Speaker 6: the fan and the driver, or before you go out
8:23
Speaker 6: there and show your stuff, and then talking to a
8:25
Speaker 6: couple other guys being like it takes like five to
8:27
Speaker 6: ten laps or really figure out how competitive you're going
8:29
Speaker 6: to be in this race as well. Yeah, so the
8:31
Speaker 6: whole anxiety that takes place, some of the things that
8:34
Speaker 6: we talked about when we wake up on game day,
8:36
Speaker 6: get after it, like before that noon kickoff, how we
8:39
Speaker 6: feel leading up to it. They don't have to have
8:42
Speaker 6: those scary emotions and just go out and race. It
8:46
Speaker 6: is so interesting to me that you're a driver and
8:49
Speaker 6: I have the same thought process as you as where
8:51
Speaker 6: it's like, yeah, if you have the best car, you
8:53
Speaker 6: drive the fastest.
8:54
Speaker 2: You're gonna win.
8:54
Speaker 6: And it's when we were able to go sit in
8:57
Speaker 6: some of these pits and go up. We went up
8:59
Speaker 6: the railing into the tents and you see these guys
9:02
Speaker 6: with monitors all around, and one dude is on the
9:05
Speaker 6: mic with another guy and he's looking at the driver
9:08
Speaker 6: how he enters the turn, exits the turn that hits
9:10
Speaker 6: the straight, and there was a green line and then
9:13
Speaker 6: every once in while like blurdy to yellow and then
9:15
Speaker 6: the red and he was correcting the driver in real
9:18
Speaker 6: time from a degree standpoint one two degrees how he
9:21
Speaker 6: needs to be to be, you know, of thousandths of
9:24
Speaker 6: a second faster on his next lap. And you just
9:26
Speaker 6: really start to realize the layers that are taking place
9:29
Speaker 6: in this chaos that just seems like for a lot
9:31
Speaker 6: of people, hey, you go, they're turning left. A lot
9:33
Speaker 6: of comedians, right, it's a low hanging fruit, like all
9:35
Speaker 6: they go left, they go left. Yeah, these pit crew guys, man,
9:38
Speaker 6: whenever a caution light come on, because they're hanging out. Dude,
9:41
Speaker 6: these guys right here in the in the rafter car.
9:44
Speaker 6: These dudes were coming up, dapping me up. We were talking,
9:47
Speaker 6: hanging out, and then as soon as the costion light
9:48
Speaker 6: come on, they're like it's like they just went into
9:51
Speaker 6: the game mode and they're getting set up. Clump's boy,
9:54
Speaker 6: we went down and saw him, Andrew he's out there once.
9:57
Speaker 2: He knew that we were there.
9:58
Speaker 6: Really, when Klump was there, that boy was getting extra
10:01
Speaker 6: as hell with some of his movements, like because they
10:02
Speaker 6: had a couple of pits and he was kind of
10:04
Speaker 6: doing a lean back and forward a little bit.
10:07
Speaker 2: Pretending to punch out his fucking thing. Dude, And I'm thinking.
10:10
Speaker 6: This dude is having main character syndrome, like no one
10:13
Speaker 6: ever right now he is. And I kind of loved it.
10:15
Speaker 6: I was like, he knows we're watching him. They go
10:17
Speaker 6: and do their pit, dude, and it takes twenty seconds.
10:21
Speaker 6: It took so long that no, no, no, yeah, yeah,
10:25
Speaker 6: this was like a what we felt was like, oh shit.
10:27
Speaker 6: And the tire that his boy was working on Andrew
10:31
Speaker 6: was the one that seemed like was the biggest hang up.
10:33
Speaker 6: And you're on the side, you really don't know what's
10:34
Speaker 6: going on. And I go over to one of the
10:36
Speaker 6: guys and I'm like, hey, like what happened on that pit?
10:39
Speaker 6: Like it seemed like you guys were hung up a
10:41
Speaker 6: little bit. And goes like what it seemed like you
10:43
Speaker 6: guys are little hung up on that. He's like, I'm
10:45
Speaker 6: a goodyear. I'm not with them. I'm like, oh okay,
10:47
Speaker 6: my bad dude. They're like scraping the rubber. Andrew comes over.
10:51
Speaker 6: He tells us they had to do a shock the Yeah,
10:53
Speaker 6: shock adjustment is a special tool, so they knew it
10:55
Speaker 6: was gonna take a longer. Actually wasn't an issue at all,
10:58
Speaker 6: but it's just crazy how much goes into it. One
11:02
Speaker 6: dude spun out. He's all over the track and he's
11:04
Speaker 6: going he's three digits like he's in the one fifties
11:07
Speaker 6: when he's spinning out, and they show him in the
11:09
Speaker 6: car hitting the steering wheel multiple times and he like
11:13
Speaker 6: is like this far away from the wall, gets away
11:15
Speaker 6: from the wall, This far away from the grass, gets
11:16
Speaker 6: away from the grass. It is incredible.
11:19
Speaker 2: That's all Swans driver Austin Dylan.
11:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, that was just wild And Mitch,
11:23
Speaker 3: I don't like again watching it on Amazon last night,
11:26
Speaker 3: like some of the car the cameras that they have
11:29
Speaker 3: in the vehicle, so it's insane. I don't know if
11:31
Speaker 3: feels like that before Amazon.
11:33
Speaker 1: But yeah, they'd have like the in car cameras that
11:37
Speaker 1: show you, like especially when the crashes and you can
11:39
Speaker 1: see them like just get jolted and stuff, like their
11:42
Speaker 1: hands are like super active the entire time. And like
11:45
Speaker 1: hearing Taylor saying like how much actually goes into it
11:48
Speaker 1: like fires me up because obviously I've been a fan
11:50
Speaker 1: for a little bit now, and like I know how
11:52
Speaker 1: much goes into it, but like it truly is you're
11:55
Speaker 1: working on something the entirety of the race. You're never
11:58
Speaker 1: like our car is good and we don't have to
11:59
Speaker 1: work on anything. It's like there's always something to be
12:01
Speaker 1: improven on and it's like the most complex math equations
12:05
Speaker 1: of all time just to get tensive seconds.
12:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I feel like you can't appreciate it until
12:11
Speaker 3: you're just like at the race in like seeing it,
12:14
Speaker 3: Like when you sent the video from just that pit
12:16
Speaker 3: stop where it took like ten seconds. They're switching some
12:19
Speaker 3: fuel out doing something. They're already back They're already back
12:21
Speaker 3: out on the on the track.
12:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all four nine point three seconds insane. Dude.
12:28
Speaker 6: Those those guys in the Raptor car, they were like,
12:32
Speaker 6: that's really Byron for those Yeah, he's gonna be on
12:34
Speaker 6: the show this week. Form Energy. Okay, he's the Form
12:37
Speaker 6: Energy car. There's a lot of labels on there. I'm
12:39
Speaker 6: glad form Energy is on it. These guys are like, hey,
12:42
Speaker 6: come around here. So I go to the front where
12:45
Speaker 6: basically where that cement block is right there. I'm on
12:47
Speaker 6: the inside of that, but like basically on the track,
12:49
Speaker 6: it's awesome. We go to these four monitors where they're
12:52
Speaker 6: basically these guys are watching film of how it went
12:56
Speaker 6: and where they can point out where they can get
12:57
Speaker 6: faster on everything. I'm like, hey, how'd it go to?
12:59
Speaker 6: Like we love to be at nine or below nine
13:01
Speaker 6: nine point threes? It's solid, but we can be X.
13:04
Speaker 3: Y and Z.
13:04
Speaker 6: And the guys starts showing me this is where we
13:06
Speaker 6: could be better. That was where we can be better.
13:08
Speaker 6: And I'm like, hey, this guy seems like he's moving.
13:10
Speaker 2: He's like, that's me, dude.
13:13
Speaker 6: And he kind of just walked me into it because
13:15
Speaker 6: he put it on a couple of things and I
13:17
Speaker 6: was like, this guy seems like he's fucking He's like
13:19
Speaker 6: that's me.
13:20
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, dude, hell yeah. Yeah.
13:22
Speaker 1: The film, watching the film and stuff. They'll do that too,
13:25
Speaker 1: to make sure the lug nuts and stuff are on
13:26
Speaker 1: the tires right. And they're like, hey, let start, like
13:29
Speaker 1: my left rear is loose, and he's like, all right,
13:31
Speaker 1: let's go check the film. Everything's good. You're just gonna
13:33
Speaker 1: have to rock with it. And the driver's just like
13:35
Speaker 1: all right and just has to just and then you.
13:37
Speaker 6: Pair that in your brain with Ryan Blaney being like, yeah,
13:39
Speaker 6: you hit these corners at two hure miles an hour
13:41
Speaker 6: and you're just feeling it like, hey, this is an
13:44
Speaker 6: estimated guess about how fast I can go into these
13:46
Speaker 6: turns and everything holds up and the team aspect of
13:49
Speaker 6: NASCAR is just absolutely wild to me, do you know?
13:52
Speaker 3: And then when the engines get ripping, when they actually
13:54
Speaker 3: start racing, Yeah, because when we were head now you're like,
13:56

20:59
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm not because everybody's like, you can still
21:01
Speaker 3: delete the post before the jinx takes place, the Compton curse,
21:04
Speaker 3: and I'm like, there are no curses. We went to
21:06
Speaker 3: the Sweet sixteen this year in basketball, Like I started
21:08
Speaker 3: to ride with them right when they were getting in
21:10
Speaker 3: the tournament. At the end of the Big Tens, nobody
21:12
Speaker 3: was saying nothing when we were winning those games. We
21:14
Speaker 3: finally got taken down by who was it? Was it
21:16
Speaker 3: a Texas Iowa or yeah, Iowa. And so I'm like,
21:21
Speaker 3: I'm not going to delete the post like it is
21:24
Speaker 3: what it is. I got it out there, lesser man deletes,
21:26
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep it up. So i just ride in.
21:29
Speaker 3: We're playing Alabama that night, and I'm like, all right,
21:31
Speaker 3: we're defending our national title against Alabama. We lose now
21:35
Speaker 3: that and then I'm like, damn, what a run. We
21:37
Speaker 3: had national champs for forty eight hours. Whatever. Josh Pate
21:40
Speaker 3: hits me with a meme again it's double elimination. Then
21:48
Speaker 3: we're in NASCAR yesterday they played Texas last night softball
21:52
Speaker 3: team lost. They lost. So since I tweeted that we
21:55
Speaker 3: were national champs, they lost two in a row. They're
21:57
Speaker 3: now bounced out of the tournament. Men's team, I'm buying in.
22:01
Speaker 3: They ended up losing to Ole Miss.
22:04
Speaker 6: You know, I'm like, this fan came up to us yesterdays.
22:08
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, what happened to your boys? I'm thinking, what
22:10
Speaker 6: the hell is going on air?
22:11
Speaker 3: Because when we lost and played the football. When the
22:12
Speaker 3: softball team lost Alabama, I'm like, what a run onto
22:15
Speaker 3: men's baseball. We're playing Old Miss that night we losed
22:18
Speaker 3: Old Miss. So now it's like I see when I
22:22
Speaker 3: leave Nascar, I got these mentions talking about uh Carolina Husker.
22:26
Speaker 3: This this fan Husker Tom that follows me on Twitter,
22:30
Speaker 3: and he's like, fuck you, Will Compton, like, stay away
22:33
Speaker 3: from our sports teams.
22:35
Speaker 2: I don't know.
22:35
Speaker 3: I know where his pain is. And if I got
22:38
Speaker 3: to be the target, by all means take it out.
22:40
Speaker 3: I will take full responsibility for us losing these baseball games.
22:45
Speaker 3: And uh, it's it's just it's tough. Look, look, hey,
22:48
Speaker 3: will Compon, Fuck you man, stay away from our sports programs.
22:51
Speaker 3: You either die a hero or live long enough to
22:52
Speaker 3: serious guys, we're starting to eat ourselves apart because they
22:56
Speaker 3: just want to taste this sweet nectar. And they were like, man,
22:58
Speaker 3: we always lose the big homes. I'm like, guys, look
23:00
Speaker 3: at what the program has been doing. There's only one
23:03
Speaker 3: college program. There's only one It's played on the national stage,
23:07
Speaker 3: whether that be bowl games, national tournament, the championship tournaments.
23:11

23:19
Speaker 3: Give me more volleyball, basketball, rifling, bowling, like all these sports,
23:26
Speaker 3: there's like six or seven sports, there's only one program

Speaker 3: to get on the national stages all of them, and
23:29
Speaker 3: it's the Huskers. But guys, are what you gotta And
23:33
Speaker 3: I hate saying patience because we've had nothing but patience.
23:35
Speaker 3: I know, we just want to win in football. But
23:38
Speaker 3: there's some good things happening. It's a great time to
23:41
Speaker 3: be a Nebraska Cornhusker. You gotta embrace it. You got
23:43
Speaker 3: to find the optimism. And people are losing it right now.
23:46

23:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you feel about like the Compton curse?
23:53
Speaker 2: Because it.
23:56
Speaker 6: Ways on me, in ways on me And you said
23:59
Speaker 6: you started this whole thing with the lesser man delites.
24:03
Speaker 6: Should we maybe stay away? Maybe we try something new

Speaker 6: this fall?
24:06
Speaker 2: But what am I supposed to do? We just don't post.
24:10
Speaker 3: I listen I this fall, We listen.
24:14
Speaker 6: Look at the schedule Nebraska has, right, we already know
24:16
Speaker 6: it's a massive up about Michigan as well. Like there's
24:18
Speaker 6: a couple of monthster we have monster schedules. There's a
24:21
Speaker 6: lot of Nebraska fans that have had patients for multiple
24:25
Speaker 6: decades and now it's like, well, do we do something
24:29
Speaker 6: need to change? To do something you've never done, you
24:31
Speaker 6: have to do something you've never done, right, and that's
24:34
Speaker 6: maybe don't post it all about Nebraska football.
24:38
Speaker 3: Never gonna do that.
24:38
Speaker 7: It can't happen when it going gets support, get tweeting, yeah,
24:42
Speaker 7: like there you go, Jack, and I'm gonna support my
24:46
Speaker 7: squad like everybody knows, like I'm yeah, I followed the
24:48
Speaker 7: football program as closely as anyone when it comes to
24:52
Speaker 7: everything else, like I fought, like I keep an eye
24:55
Speaker 7: on volleyball, I keep an eye on wrestling at times,
24:57
Speaker 7: but when it comes to basketball, baseball and everything else,
25:00
Speaker 7: like once I see that our team is having a
25:03
Speaker 7: hell of a season and they're going into the they're
25:05
Speaker 7: going into the dance, like I gotta get on board
25:07
Speaker 7: and support the Huskers.

25:19
Speaker 3: Friday night lights, there ain't no curses. Flip the coin
25:25
Speaker 3: and again we put the curse to bed, like when
25:27
Speaker 3: everybody thought the curse was alive and well, when we
25:29
Speaker 3: went into the NC Double a March Badness tournament, we
25:32
Speaker 3: had never won an NC Double a appearance ever.
25:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. I started tweeting when we started to get in
25:37
Speaker 2: March Badness, boom win. This effect.

26:06
Speaker 3: Hoiburg gone the last few years? Yeah, man, they.
26:12
Speaker 6: Did, So you're not changing nothing this fall.
26:14
Speaker 3: No. I again, Like I love Nebraska's fan base, I
26:17
Speaker 3: understand the pain. Like when it's Funck will come to
26:19
Speaker 3: I know that there's so much inside of Husker fans
26:24
Speaker 3: that let's just go after him. And that's okay. I'll
26:29
Speaker 3: stand at the podium, takes shots to me. I've got
26:31
Speaker 3: to do better. We've got to do better. We're gonna
26:34
Speaker 3: get this ship going in the right direction. Oh and
26:36
Speaker 3: by the way, I feel like we are headed in
26:37
Speaker 3: the right direction.
26:41
Speaker 7: Will Compton in person, he would fall to his knees
26:44
Speaker 7: and be like, can we get a photo?
26:48
Speaker 3: So, even him doing that, I'm thinking it's emotional. I
26:50
Speaker 3: don't think he doesn't feel it, because when I go
26:51
Speaker 3: to his profile, he follows me. I'm like, oh, he's
26:53
Speaker 3: just having a bad moment. He hates said I tweeted
26:56
Speaker 3: a national championship and the women go to and out
26:59
Speaker 3: and it's take me down. I get it. Put your
27:01
Speaker 3: hands around my neck and choke me a little bit. Yeah,
27:03
Speaker 3: but hey, let's realize, Caroline Husker, we're on the same team.
27:07
Speaker 6: Can your mindset about that interaction with us or Tom
27:11
Speaker 6: is perfect? There's zero flaws in that thought process. Okay, yeah, no,
27:16
Speaker 6: I love that.
27:17
Speaker 3: And then after after I start to not breathe for
27:19
Speaker 3: a moment, we could just hug because I get it, man,
27:22
Speaker 3: I understand it's fucking painful. But guess what, I'm here
27:26
Speaker 3: with you to the end, and I know you're gonna
27:27
Speaker 3: be here with me to the end. You're a fox
27:29
Speaker 3: old guy. And even though you lash out of many times.
27:32
Speaker 3: I love that passion. But let's just redirect the energy
27:35
Speaker 3: a little bit. Let's see, let's zoom out and see
27:37
Speaker 3: the bigger picture. Yeah, and then we'll get going. Zoom
27:41
Speaker 3: in the right direction.
27:41
Speaker 2: Zoom in on that.
27:42
Speaker 6: I want to see where willis heads at. This is

Speaker 6: Tennessee graphics on there. That's that's that's Eddy's social play.
28:52
Speaker 6: I don't think it's too far off.
28:53
Speaker 7: Tennessee fans have suffered a good deal, but it's shocking
28:57
Speaker 7: that Nebraska's not in there as well. Yeah, like you
29:00
Speaker 7: have been to the college for playoff. We've been in
29:01
Speaker 7: the playoffs. We had bad moments, but I think that
29:04
Speaker 7: we've also had progress over the last ten years, as
29:07
Speaker 7: opposed to Nebraska, where there's been a.
29:10
Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on.
29:11
Speaker 8: I'm not trying to get nasty. It's GBR after GBO.
29:14

29:17
Speaker 2: baseball like two years ago? Yeah?

29:21
Speaker 2: I want to say, it was you talking about football.
29:23
Speaker 3: Oh Okay, I get Arkansas, I give Virginia Tech, but
29:26
Speaker 3: wasn't there wasn't there a graphic? Were It's like teams
29:29
Speaker 3: that would have made m something to where Nebraska was zero.
29:34
Speaker 2: It was like the time. Wasn't it like a twenty
29:35
Speaker 2: fourteen playoff?
29:37
Speaker 8: Fourteen playoff?
29:39
Speaker 3: I think you guys were the only only like power
29:41
Speaker 3: forward team to make zero over the Northwestern Yeah, because
29:47
Speaker 3: then Greeney takes a shot at me on national television. Yeah,
29:52

30:22
Speaker 2: Now listen.
30:23
Speaker 6: Last week on the episode, we talked about possibilities of
30:26
Speaker 6: Jack earning his vehicle. Matt Malone. He got his dream car,
30:29
Speaker 6: the VW EOS. It's a convertible, very nice, drove it
30:34
Speaker 6: back from Arizona. Basically just hit a fun road trip
30:36
Speaker 6: with a couple of his boys hit a couple of deliverables.
30:39
Speaker 6: Jack has had this. It's this long standing. Is he
30:41
Speaker 6: going to get a truck? Is he not going to
30:43
Speaker 6: get a truck? Did he tweet about rich eyes? And
30:44
Speaker 6: how many days did he miss? It ended up being
30:46
Speaker 6: more than was allowed to be accepted, and now it's
30:50
Speaker 6: time to revisit those things. So we said, hey, you
30:54
Speaker 6: going and doing a full training camp would be amazing.
30:56
Speaker 6: And I'm proud to say we had not just one,
30:59
Speaker 6: but multiple college football programs reach out to us. One
31:03
Speaker 6: specifically the NSU Wolves head coach offensive coordinator wide receivers.
31:08
Speaker 6: So I've had everybody and their mother hit me up,
31:11
Speaker 6: whether it be Instagram, I got the got on the
31:13
Speaker 6: phone with the head coach. The offense coordination is a
31:15
Speaker 6: voice memo that we're just trying. We all want gritty
31:18
Speaker 6: fucking dudes. They are gonna get after it. Blah bla
31:19
Speaker 6: blah blah, all the.
31:21
Speaker 3: Things colleges reached out to Step Ye.
31:24
Speaker 7: Yeah, a wide receivers coach from an s U followed
31:27
Speaker 7: me on Instagram. Immediately hit them with a let's go coach,
31:30
Speaker 7: and we were d ming all weekend.
31:32
Speaker 3: So if we get other teams in the mix. Maybe
31:34
Speaker 3: we can start getting some nil money for you.
31:36
Speaker 2: I love that sounds like we we need to do that.
31:43
Speaker 6: We just got an email right before we came on
31:44
Speaker 6: the bus that compliance is not an issue.
31:49
Speaker 9: We have a great email here from coach Schmidt. He said,
31:53
Speaker 9: as long as he has a football season left, I
31:55
Speaker 9: do not see any concerns.
31:57
Speaker 6: So with compliance, that's huge. So the thought process to
32:00
Speaker 6: come into what are we trying to do here? We
32:03
Speaker 6: were talking about this a little bit yesterday. What is
32:05
Speaker 6: the plan?
32:05
Speaker 2: What is the goal?
32:06
Speaker 6: What are we trying to truly accomplish with this? Are
32:08
Speaker 6: we trying to like make a full Hard Knocks And
32:11
Speaker 6: we can't have Jack, who has a full time job,
32:13
Speaker 6: be gone for three weeks and then take a guy
32:15
Speaker 6: who also does a job like JP. But you guys
32:17
Speaker 6: go for three weeks as well, because there's a lot
32:19
Speaker 6: of work that has to get Don and Bust with
32:20
Speaker 6: the boys. Do we outsource Jerry had a great idea
32:22
Speaker 6: of the journalism school at NSU. Do we pay guys
32:25
Speaker 6: a couple of shekels? Hey, get this film for us,
32:27
Speaker 6: send it to us raw, We'll get it done. How
32:29
Speaker 6: many episodes is it is it one? Is it one
32:31
Speaker 6: a week? What happens there? Should we get it on Netflix?
32:33
Speaker 6: Should we get it on Netflix? Should we call Jimmie
32:35
Speaker 6: Horowitz and say, hey, we got ourselves something near boys?
32:37
Speaker 6: Maybe we do a documentary on Jack call Omaha Production.
32:42
Speaker 6: We gotta figure we gotta figure that out. So as
32:45
Speaker 6: it stands, right now, schools are already schools are preparing
32:48
Speaker 6: their zero issue. Jack, you have a football season?

33:11
Speaker 6: when we're not on a podcast, what we how we
33:13
Speaker 6: want to accomplish this, And for the love of god,
33:16
Speaker 6: how much is it gonna cost. That's kind of where
33:19
Speaker 6: my brain goes to and what you know, it wouldn't
33:20
Speaker 6: be a bust with voice podcast with my wife.
33:22
Speaker 1: Called I just need to say, like, I'm so jealous
33:24
Speaker 1: that he gets to do this just because of like
33:28
Speaker 1: not even the truck or anything, but just just ball.
33:30
Speaker 3: Part of me is angry that we can't get you
33:32
Speaker 3: involved as well. Do you have any eligibility left?
33:35
Speaker 1: I think I have one year left because I played
33:37
Speaker 1: JV my freshman year in college, and I don't think
33:41
Speaker 1: that like, I don't think that counts. Or I'm I
33:44
Speaker 1: may even get a COVID year because I feel like
33:45
Speaker 1: everybody gets a COVID year.
33:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will and have COVID years. Yeah, exactly, So

Speaker 3: A fad idea is there is their platform?
37:39
Speaker 6: He is extremely talented. That is so cool and speaking.
37:44
Speaker 6: I love that you're saying that movies are are kind
37:47
Speaker 6: of coming back because we had a whole conversation the
37:49
Speaker 6: way like Marvel and superhero movies have kind of like
37:51
Speaker 6: ruined movies in a lot of ways where they're kind
37:53
Speaker 6: of like, all right, this is what makes some money.
37:54
Speaker 6: Let's just put all into that with But you see
37:56
Speaker 6: the you know, you see TV shows coming up quite
37:59
Speaker 6: a bit where you're the storytelling. A lot of budgets
38:01
Speaker 6: are getting bigger in that way. But I always was
38:03
Speaker 6: a movie guy. Two hours, sit down, get you a popcorn,
38:06
Speaker 6: your favorite candy, and just unplug and watch something and
38:10
Speaker 6: immerse yourself and whatever storyline is taking place.
38:13
Speaker 3: That it seems like these these young guys a twenty
38:16
Speaker 3: year old, twenty six year old like them on lower
38:18
Speaker 3: budgets because that was kind of the the fear, right
38:21
Speaker 3: like with Marvel, movies. It's so popular on you. The
38:24
Speaker 3: audience is there, So spending the shitload of money on
38:27
Speaker 3: making a movie you might as well do with an
38:28
Speaker 3: audience that's already alive and loving it. Head your bet
38:31
Speaker 3: and so yeah, and people aren't. They don't want to
38:33
Speaker 3: spend like one hundred million dollar budgets on making a
38:35
Speaker 3: great storytelling movie. Both somebody coming.
38:37
Speaker 7: In Blumhouse Productions to shit all of our favorite yeah,
38:42
Speaker 7: throughout slasher movies.
38:43
Speaker 8: So there is this.
38:45
Speaker 6: I don't I don't want to say this too loosely.
38:49
Speaker 2: This is gonna be the.
38:50
Speaker 6: Best booktoper we've ever had in our lives. Dude, ah,
38:54
Speaker 6: the way you can hit in the mic.

40:06
Speaker 3: I was playing chess, switching up in the search barking
40:11
Speaker 3: them breaking that video down on a on a Pablo
40:14
Speaker 3: finds out was that not insane?
40:18
Speaker 6: It's insane and kind of pisses me off.
40:19
Speaker 3: He's like, and you see it here will misspells bries Brice.
40:24
Speaker 3: I don't even remember. I remember I was back there
40:26
Speaker 3: by the bathroom when I was trying to figure out
40:28
Speaker 3: the running back because on the episode, I'm thinking because
40:31
Speaker 3: he's like, were you thinking corner? I was like, oh,
40:33
Speaker 3: I wasn't ever thinking corner. I was always thinking running back.
40:35
Speaker 3: But in my head, I'm like, was he trying to
40:37
Speaker 3: talk me into doing like Christian McCaffrey and like, that's
40:40
Speaker 3: an easy one. Let me go find the running back
40:42
Speaker 3: for the Jets Briee Brice Hall BRICEE Hall And uh,
40:46
Speaker 3: it's crazy to learn that there was a tech thing
40:50
Speaker 3: going on that because I don't even remember him having
40:54
Speaker 3: my phone on the other side when he first came
40:56
Speaker 3: in and met us, like you know us, like we're
40:59

41:08
Speaker 3: figured out on our own, Like everybody wants to know
41:11
Speaker 3: the trick, But there's part of you that's like he
41:13
Speaker 3: was so good, He's so good at all the things
41:15
Speaker 3: he does, where I am so damn curious, Like, how
41:18
Speaker 3: does this happen without some type of tech or something involved,
41:23
Speaker 3: because there's no way like the calculator one that we've
41:26
Speaker 3: learned about. I shout out ib Math's doctor. They didn't
41:30
Speaker 3: go as viral as the other one, but me and
41:31
Speaker 3: Will saw this a while ago. There's another YouTube channel
41:34
Speaker 3: that has watched our podcast and broken down what O's did.
41:36
Speaker 2: That one didn't go viral, but.
41:38
Speaker 3: Are they And they're like, well, Will almost or Will
41:40

Speaker 8: And then you see O's like just grab the phone
41:50
Speaker 8: and just like do something like.
41:52
Speaker 3: Because he grabbed something and I said, what are you doing?
41:54
Speaker 3: Or what is that? Right there?
41:55
Speaker 8: You almost broke it by being like what are you doing?
41:57
Speaker 10: Like just looking at him and he was like, oh, nothing,
41:59
Speaker 10: He put it down and then he distracted y'all like
42:01
Speaker 10: ten seconds later and then I just.
42:02

Speaker 2: I don't care.
42:20
Speaker 6: It actually pisses me off that these guys are going
42:22
Speaker 6: out and be like, we're debunking this, we're debunking that,
42:25
Speaker 6: because you're taking away from my emotions that I had
42:27
Speaker 6: during that podcast. You're taking away from us sitting down
42:31
Speaker 6: in Cabo San Lucas and the and the magician comes
42:33
Speaker 6: down and you and me just kind of look at
42:34
Speaker 6: each other. Well everyone's kind of like, Oh, that's great.
42:36
Speaker 6: Will he knows magic and we'll just both be there. Yeah,
42:38
Speaker 6: and we're so excited about the idea of magicy place.
42:41
Speaker 2: Is it is?
42:41
Speaker 3: It?
42:42
Speaker 2: Is it real?
42:43
Speaker 6: Don't tell me no, because I want to believe it's yes.
42:46
Speaker 6: And when you're gonna come out with a with a
42:47
Speaker 6: video breaking down why oh's messed everything? I did this
42:51
Speaker 6: and he's a fraud and all that, I hate that.
42:54
Speaker 6: I hate that. I want to be in awe. I
42:57
Speaker 6: want to live in AWE. I don't care about knowing
43:00
Speaker 6: the truth. I care about being entertained. And I was
43:03
Speaker 6: entertained for that day so shame on the clip you
43:05
Speaker 6: just brought up, and shame on the clip that well,
43:08
Speaker 6: shame on you actually for ruining up.
43:09
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to.
43:10
Speaker 2: I know.
43:11
Speaker 3: That's what's so funny about it. He's like, what's funny
43:13
Speaker 3: about this whole thing? And it's a beautiful irony of
43:18
Speaker 3: it is will Miss spells Brice at first. So when
43:21
Speaker 3: he hits, he sees that he's got the wrong player.
43:24
Speaker 3: He's spelt the name wrong the first time. So I
43:25
Speaker 3: go back in and do bres Hall and then that's
43:27
Speaker 3: where it hits. But it doesn't register because whatever app
43:30
Speaker 3: or website that he used. I think a couple of things.
43:33
Speaker 3: Number One, you're not debunking anything. And I've seen Colin
43:36
Speaker 3: Cower and I've seen people go on like, are we
43:37
Speaker 3: gonna reveal that the Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
43:39
Speaker 3: is not real? Magic isn't real? Yeah yeah, yeah, Like well, y'all, okay,
43:46
Speaker 3: I'll talk to you guys universally. You just know that,
43:49
Speaker 3: like there's something that takes place, you don't know what
43:53
Speaker 3: it is. You would love to know, you know, they're
43:55
Speaker 3: never gonna tell you. And that's the beauty of the
43:57
Speaker 3: mystery and the magic that does happen, and even with
44:01
Speaker 3: the videos and the breakdowns, I'm also fascinated to learn
44:04
Speaker 3: how it gets done as truly just a fan because
44:07
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, the dude is an
44:08
Speaker 3: expert with his charisma with him like just getting you
44:11
Speaker 3: off kilter, keeping you off beat, right, talking to you
44:13
Speaker 3: in differently. Yeah, he's a great showman. He's an expert
44:16
Speaker 3: at it, which I think, like, I'm a fan of that.
44:19
Speaker 3: I don't care, Like, even though I've learned that he
44:21
Speaker 3: does this, I'm trying to play back things in my head.
44:24
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, at what point did he have my
44:26
Speaker 3: phone in his hand to do this thing? To like
44:29
Speaker 3: get it on a website real quick, you know what
44:30
Speaker 3: I mean? Because he's great in conversation. Yes to whur
44:33
Speaker 3: You're sitting there and you're just so excited that he's
44:35
Speaker 3: gonna do tricks to you that when he's like, hey,
44:37
Speaker 3: let me grab your phone for a second, when he
44:39
Speaker 3: does a calculate whatever it is, Like, I love learning
44:42
Speaker 3: about how it gets done just because I love them.
44:45
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna call it a sport. I love the
44:46
Speaker 3: sport of magic. But I'm still like, I think, no, differently,
44:50
Speaker 3: like when everybody's getting very outraged about it and mad
44:53
Speaker 3: like oh, he's a phone, he's a fraud. It's like,
44:55
Speaker 3: that's what the fuck are we talking about. There's there's
44:57
Speaker 3: not like there's not like magic out there. It's actually
45:01
Speaker 3: really I hate kind of saying that aloud because I
45:02
Speaker 3: kind of do want to believe in magic.
45:04
Speaker 6: Right, you shouldn't even say that, yeah, because it's like that.
45:06
Speaker 6: I feel like that like takes you out of it.
45:08
Speaker 3: So people in this like gotcha moment, like this should
45:10
Speaker 3: take him down or something. It's like, what are you
45:12
Speaker 3: talking about? Like this dude, this is his profession? Yeah, right,
45:16
Speaker 3: and what people people shows breaking it down like Jared's
45:19
Speaker 3: talking about. I kind of like watching him because I
45:22
Speaker 3: just love like learning. I'm like curious how these guys
45:25
Speaker 3: are able to get you to do it because you
45:26
Speaker 3: can't tell what's going on in the moment.
45:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, It's like, at the end of the day, be entertained,
45:31
Speaker 6: enjoy the product that you get, whether it's what you
45:34
Speaker 6: want to be, what you don't want to be, Like
45:36
Speaker 6: the product you get and you're you're looking at right now,
45:38
Speaker 6: there's no reason to find a bunch of ways of
45:41
Speaker 6: how it could have been better or not?
45:42
Speaker 2: Am I right? That's clean? Yeah?
45:44
Speaker 13: And what that?
45:45
Speaker 6: What that being said? Season eight of Game of Thrones
45:47
Speaker 6: was good because you gotta sit down just enjoy it,
45:52
Speaker 6: and before I get what you have.
45:55
Speaker 3: I have a smaller scale example. It's like when you
45:57
Speaker 3: do the card trick that like I knew about a
46:01
Speaker 3: long time ago, but I couldn't remember how you would
46:03
Speaker 3: do it, and you do it so clean, like you
46:05
Speaker 3: do it well because you have very good slide of hand,
46:08
Speaker 3: and when you're doing it to all the guys, I'm
46:10
Speaker 3: like sitting there obsessing over how it gets done, but
46:12
Speaker 3: you won't tell me. So I appreciate that you're never
46:14
Speaker 3: going to tell me, And there's a part of you
46:16
Speaker 3: that gets obsessed with like, fuck, how is he doing it?
46:18
Speaker 3: Because I remember and I know these guys are so
46:20
Speaker 3: just like oh this is insane, and I'm like, man,
46:22
Speaker 3: what is he doing again? That gets it to where
46:25
Speaker 3: that's your card every time? Because you do a really
46:27
Speaker 3: good job of it, Thank you. But to me, it's
46:28
Speaker 3: like I love the act of it. I love that
46:31
Speaker 3: you're never going to tell me, and it's like I'm
46:33
Speaker 3: banging my head against the wall being like dude, I
46:35
Speaker 3: wish I just want to know it's all good. I
46:37
Speaker 3: think it's amazing. But then there's the part that you're
46:39
Speaker 3: trying to be so curious and learning about how it
46:41
Speaker 3: gets done. So I also enjoy that.
46:43
Speaker 6: And here's why you that I love like your thought
46:46
Speaker 6: bruss everything, but like having fun with it. You could
46:49
Speaker 6: easily just google how I do the trick? Right easily
46:52
Speaker 6: you can find the answer to how I do this
46:54
Speaker 6: very basic magic trick. Yeah, but you don't because you
46:57
Speaker 6: want to have fun with it. You want to be entertained.
46:58
Speaker 3: I want to sit there and watch you do it
46:59
Speaker 3: like when you did. I can't catch him like dude
47:01
Speaker 3: to somebody else. I just want to keep watching him.
47:03
Speaker 3: That man, how is he pulling this?
47:04
Speaker 2: That ship? If you guys play snaps, oh god game. Now,
47:09
Speaker 2: when you.
47:10
Speaker 6: First figured out snaps and you knew you're in a
47:12
Speaker 6: group of people at a party, and that one individual
47:15
Speaker 6: knew how to do snaps and you just took the
47:17
Speaker 6: whole party by storm, I think think of a celebrity
47:20
Speaker 6: whisper to them and they start doing the listen to
47:23
Speaker 6: what I'm saying all the things, and you would get
47:24
Speaker 6: it right. There's no better feeling than people would be like,
47:27
Speaker 6: how the fuck does he do that?
47:28
Speaker 3: And then when you have the partnership going on to
47:31
Speaker 3: when they're starting to get close, you just have a
47:33
Speaker 3: different game that takes them off of it.
47:36
Speaker 6: Does anybody know Snaps and a guy that you don't
47:38
Speaker 6: even know what the part is like, Hey, I'm about Snaps.
47:41
Speaker 2: There's a foundational friendship there.
47:42
Speaker 5: Now.
47:42
Speaker 6: You guys kind of mob around the party together, just
47:44
Speaker 6: getting each individual do it. So many times people were
47:47
Speaker 6: like I think I'm getting it, and then you have
47:48
Speaker 6: him trying like me, ain't got it?
47:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, you ain't got it.
47:51
Speaker 7: Nothing worse than being the last guy to figure out SNAPS.
47:55
Speaker 3: I know when everybody gets on board, you're just doing
47:57
Speaker 3: it for that guy, and you're like, hey, pay attention,
48:02
Speaker 3: does kids everybody here? No Snaps? Oh, we'll do it
48:06
Speaker 3: to you after we get downe with the pod. Yeah Snap.
48:09
Speaker 3: If you have no clue we're talking about, go look
48:10
Speaker 3: it up. Snaps is awesome. If you have a little kids,
48:12
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, okay, I need to get rood with this
48:14
Speaker 3: stuff now.
48:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, rus was a little young think of somebody she
48:19
Speaker 6: just she just says it, but she's just got dad

Speaker 3: where I think about it. I do. Ninety nine point
49:12
Speaker 3: nine per percent of me believes everything is all good,
49:15
Speaker 3: and even when it does get removed one day, I'm
49:16
Speaker 3: thinking it's gonna be all good. I just have a
49:19
Speaker 3: nice little war scar up in the head and I
49:21
Speaker 3: can be like you know I went through brain surgery.
49:23
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, I've talked to everybody. I feel
49:27
Speaker 3: like I've talked to all you. We've had Yeah, and
49:29
Speaker 3: we're with you. Yeah, I know, like I know you
49:31
Speaker 3: guys are with me. And there's there's just like you know,
49:33
Speaker 3: there's just those weird parts where it's you see the
49:36
Speaker 3: scand you see what's in the brain, and uh like yeah,
49:40
Speaker 3: I hope nothing's going on. Everybody's telling me it's all good.
49:42
Speaker 6: It's I don't know if I'm fully forgiven you for
49:45
Speaker 6: how you've made me. That being said, like, yeah, there's
49:50
Speaker 6: been a couple of times I've thought about it too,
49:51
Speaker 6: like like, what's talk about next year?
49:54
Speaker 2: Is there gonna be a next year?
49:56
Speaker 3: I look at the rate that it grew from twenty
49:58
Speaker 3: twenty one to twenty twenty three, So I'm just like, hey, Doc,
50:02
Speaker 3: obviously when it gets over whatever the number is to
50:04
Speaker 3: where you do need to take it out. I'm thinking,
50:06
Speaker 3: so within five years, we're probably gonna have to remove this.
50:08
Speaker 3: He's like, I know, rational brain would assume that. He's like,
50:12
Speaker 3: but you just you never know.
50:13
Speaker 6: And I told you the story about a friend of
50:15
Speaker 6: mine who has a friend who has a had a
50:18
Speaker 6: grapefruit grapefruit size cysts, the same thing in their brain,
50:23
Speaker 6: and they just recently got it taken out. Totally fine.
50:26
Speaker 3: How old were they?
50:27
Speaker 2: I think they're in the thirties, Okay, so something to think. Yeah,
50:31
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean grapefruit.
50:32
Speaker 6: I don't even think that you fit a grepe fruit
50:33
Speaker 6: in my skull. So how's the brain fitting there? What's
50:36
Speaker 6: going on? Because the Doc's like, look the scan, beautiful scan.
50:39
Speaker 6: You got a beautiful scan right here. It's not pushing
50:41
Speaker 6: up on this nerve, it's not pressing against anything.
50:43
Speaker 3: Very clean brain. You just have like a water balloon
50:46
Speaker 3: sitting in it, like a little mini water balloon sitting
50:48
Speaker 3: in it. As all good, he's like. And then at
50:50
Speaker 3: some point he's like, you never want to do brain surgery.
50:51
Speaker 3: That's going to be the last option, he said. But
50:54
Speaker 3: if you do go in very non invasive, you'll just
50:56
Speaker 3: have a you just have like a little little what
50:58
Speaker 3: is it called scar, scar lesion, whatever it is, and
51:02
Speaker 3: then they'll go in with the needle, they'll drain it
51:04
Speaker 3: like it's a water balloon. It'll be all good. Can
51:08
Speaker 3: you guarantee that, He's like, I can't guarantee anything. But
51:13
Speaker 3: I'm telling you this, this is not a cause for concern.
51:16
Speaker 3: All these scans are doing is just to be thorough.
51:19
Speaker 3: Sounds like a good doctor. Good doc, doesn't good doctor
51:23
Speaker 3: doctor Hubbard checking myut West Nash use my code, dude.
51:31
Speaker 6: A couple of things have been taking place in college football.
51:32
Speaker 6: I know we're excited about college football coming for fifteen
51:34
Speaker 6: percent of but Texas Tech and Texas Sark he starts,
51:39
Speaker 6: you become a little chatterbox coming at the Bake twelve
51:41
Speaker 6: a little bit, specifically one team that's in the same
51:43
Speaker 6: state as them. Texas Tech. Joey McGuire recently goes, hey,
51:47
Speaker 6: we'll buy out our Week one game and your Week
51:50
Speaker 6: one game if you come in playoffs, or we'll come
51:52
Speaker 6: and play you just to see who's who in the zoo.
51:54
Speaker 6: I don't know if this is even possible to get done.
51:57
Speaker 3: I love the reaction by Texas Tech because here's what
51:59
Speaker 3: Sarks said. It's like, there's a team in our state
52:01
Speaker 3: that plays in another conference that has a schedule that
52:03
Speaker 3: I would argue if I play with our twos or threes,
52:06
Speaker 3: we could go undefeated and they'll probably make the college
52:08
Speaker 3: will playoff this year Texas Tech goes on full offense. Heybody,
52:12
Speaker 3: we'll schedule you beginning of the season. Will not only
52:14
Speaker 3: buy out our game because ableing Christian. I want to say,
52:17
Speaker 3: it's like Texas State right, like they're on board, we'll
52:20
Speaker 3: also buy out your first.
52:22
Speaker 2: Game for you.
52:23
Speaker 3: You don't have to pay anything. We'll get you on
52:25
Speaker 3: our schedule. I love that Texas Tech has went on
52:27
Speaker 3: full offense about it. Yeah, it would be a bad
52:29
Speaker 3: move by Texas. I got you don't want to You
52:31
Speaker 3: don't want to put Texas Tech on your schedule with
52:34
Speaker 3: the schedule that they have in the SEC, It's like,
52:35
Speaker 3: why add another one?
52:39
Speaker 2: I should be a thing.
52:40
Speaker 1: You should be able to just do that, like for
52:41
Speaker 1: the chaos of college football, And it would make like
52:44
Speaker 1: it would make this schedule and the season so much
52:47
Speaker 1: more fun and so much more interesting to have all
52:49
Speaker 1: these little storylines like like let's say, like Oklahoma's calling
52:52
Speaker 1: out of.
52:52
Speaker 2: School and like, all, I bet, yeah, I agree with you.
52:55
Speaker 3: Like from my world, Yeah, from my perspective, I would
52:58
Speaker 3: love to see it happen. Then Cody Campbell's going on,
53:00
Speaker 3: he's doing a PR run, he's talking ship, He's like
53:03
Speaker 3: apparently they got a lot of steers on a lot
53:04
Speaker 3: of bulls out there in Austin.
53:06
Speaker 2: I love all of it, all of it.
53:08
Speaker 6: I did see Joey Maguire saying we'll buy out both.
53:11
Speaker 6: And there was one Texas state tweet that goes nobody.
53:15
Speaker 6: They got us, so we got.
53:16
Speaker 2: To go ahead.
53:19
Speaker 6: I love it Texas. I love where you guys heads
53:21
Speaker 6: are at. You might want to get that one all right,
53:25
Speaker 6: they find you're getting bought out, Like that's why your
53:27
Speaker 6: school scheduled Texas is to get that bag.
53:29
Speaker 8: They said neutral site too, right, they want to play
53:31
Speaker 8: at Jared.
53:33
Speaker 6: That's Blue Mountain State, playing the cornfields done.
53:36
Speaker 3: Getting Texans fired up each other. The word you got
53:40
Speaker 3: too many steers out there in Austin.
53:42
Speaker 6: We'll be there now, gotta be said, Yeah, we would
53:45
Speaker 6: be there one hundred, we'd be at the neutral site.
53:47
Speaker 6: We would find all without a doubt. Bro, gotta do it.
53:50
Speaker 6: Just put out of Texas High School.
53:51
Speaker 2: Yeah.
53:52
Speaker 3: I love the entertainment value of it all, though I wonder,
53:55
Speaker 3: I wonder how realistic it actually is right.
53:58
Speaker 2: Now, shouldn't be that hard, but like.
54:02
Speaker 3: The tech is offering to buy out theirs, that's shut up.
54:07
Speaker 1: That's what ship back it up, That's what I'm saying.
54:08
Speaker 1: I feel like it shouldn't be that hard, Like, hey,
54:11
Speaker 1: here's one point five million, give it to Texas State.
54:15
Speaker 1: You're you're now free, Like we're now free. Let's just
54:18
Speaker 1: fucking do it. But like with the n cua A,
54:20
Speaker 1: nothing's ever that easy, which.
54:22
Speaker 6: Always the aways red tape, which is just.
54:24
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, stupid. Like, these two teams want to play each other,
54:26
Speaker 1: it's going to be a massive game. The ratings, the TV,
54:29
Speaker 1: all of that ship like, it's going to be great.
54:30
Speaker 6: It's probably the game of the year other.
54:33
Speaker 2: Than the national champion.
54:33
Speaker 11: It's a win win for Texas State and Ablene Christian
54:36
Speaker 11: two because they're making the money that they would have
54:40
Speaker 11: made if they had played those big teams. Now they
54:42
Speaker 11: would play each other in week one if if all
54:45
Speaker 11: this goes in ACU in Texas State, that is way
54:50
Speaker 11: less lopsided than Texas State versus Texas or Able Christian
54:55
Speaker 11: versus Tech.
54:55
Speaker 8: Like win win, like win for all, everyone wins.
54:59
Speaker 6: Except for whatever coach between Texas Tech and Texas loses.
55:02
Speaker 3: That's a massive I was gonna say, like, you if
55:04
Speaker 3: you're Texas and you remove perception or people's opinions on
55:08
Speaker 3: the whole thing, and you're trying to look at it
55:10
Speaker 3: as objectively as possible. You have a nine game season
55:13
Speaker 3: in the SEC, why would you risk anything of playing
55:18
Speaker 3: Texas Tech in the beginning of the year outside of perception,
55:21
Speaker 3: Like you got to remove that ego part of it,
55:23
Speaker 3: because yeah, when you bring that in, it's like, yeah, yeah,
55:25
Speaker 3: you guys are kind of you guys are kind of
55:27
Speaker 3: cowering up, like they're they're offering everything like hey, you're
55:31
Speaker 3: gonna talk shit, like let's go put the ball down.
55:34
Speaker 3: And now they're saying no, they'll look bad not doing it.
55:37
Speaker 3: But I'm saying like, if you are Texas and it's like,
55:40
Speaker 3: you know, it's all the white collar guys, were coaches,
55:42
Speaker 3: nobody's involved, and you're like, why would we risk adding
55:46
Speaker 3: this game to our schedule? We have to play in
55:48
Speaker 3: the SEC.
55:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you also just to look at the
55:52
Speaker 6: other way, like Texas, what happened at Texas Tech, Like
55:55
Speaker 6: Texas in a much more advantageous spot to be victorious
55:58
Speaker 6: in this game because of all stuff that happened with Soresby. Yeah,
56:01
Speaker 6: so now you're in a spot where it's like, maybe
56:04
Speaker 6: we should take advantage of this situation. We do have
56:07
Speaker 6: players in the same in the same playing field, Like
56:09
Speaker 6: we have a better quarterback because they paid three million
56:12
Speaker 6: for theirs. Theirs can't play. He'll probably in a supplemental draft.
56:14
Speaker 6: Let's go after and get done.
56:16
Speaker 11: And their stud backup Will Hammond.
56:18
Speaker 3: He he might not even be read.
56:20
Speaker 11: I don't think he's gonna be ready week for Week one,
56:22
Speaker 11: they're gonna have to play their third string quarterback against Texas.
56:26
Speaker 3: Like this is a very advantage.
56:29
Speaker 2: They're ready to go to war.
56:31
Speaker 9: You know, this reminds me of do you ever see
56:33
Speaker 9: that meme of the dogs when there's the gate in
56:35
Speaker 9: between them, the ones just barking all crazy, but then
56:38
Speaker 9: the gate opens and then he just stops barking. That's
56:41
Speaker 9: that's Texas right now. Yeah, talking all that shit. If
56:44
Speaker 9: it doesn't happen.
56:45
Speaker 3: Now, you're just in that spot where it's like, oh,
56:48
Speaker 3: maybe you guys do have some steers running the program with.
56:50
Speaker 6: With how much Texas is a huge piece of college football.
56:54
Speaker 6: I'm sure they know about the red tape that will
56:55
Speaker 6: take place and they won't be able to get done
56:58
Speaker 6: this year, so they can bark all they want, say, yeah,
57:01
Speaker 6: we'll do it, and then something with the NCAA will
57:03
Speaker 6: come up and then oh, listen, you guys are lucky.
57:06
Speaker 6: You guys are lucky you didn't catch.
57:07
Speaker 2: One of these.
57:07
Speaker 3: But still a great move by them to just play
57:09
Speaker 3: on like public opinion on the whole thing. Put the
57:13
Speaker 3: ball fully in their court, boys, Dad Combine June tenth,
57:19
Speaker 3: will we fired about this?
57:20
Speaker 2: Hotline? Boss? All the dad coming in here at once

57:30
Speaker 6: That's a clean take. That's a clean that's a clean take.

1:18:43
Speaker 17: of Dallas, and I go to Texas A and M
1:18:46
Speaker 17: very cool, very Italian. It's actually Albanian. So the story
1:18:50
Speaker 17: behind it is that there's a town in Albania called
1:18:53
Speaker 17: Permet p E R M E T T. Mine just
1:18:55
Speaker 17: has an eye at the end. So when our great
1:18:57
Speaker 17: great whatever grandfather came over, he was either with the
1:19:01
Speaker 17: mob or fleeing from the mob, and whenever he came
1:19:04
Speaker 17: into the United States, he changed his last name from
1:19:07
Speaker 17: whatever town he was from to Permetti. So basically, like
1:19:11
Speaker 17: we're the only Permetties. So if you look up Permetti, like,
1:19:14
Speaker 17: I'm the first one that shows up. It's not like
1:19:16
Speaker 17: Johnson or there's a million Johnson families out there. It's
1:19:18
Speaker 17: like one Permetti family. You were the first from your line. Yeah,
1:19:21

Speaker 3: Do you know what it means?
1:19:39
Speaker 2: It's not good?

1:27:17
Speaker 17: I love Equestria. Like, okay, I travel with the equestrian team.
1:27:20
Speaker 17: So I traveled like the sports teams at A and
1:27:22
Speaker 17: M and A Questrian is like the best one to
1:27:24
Speaker 17: travel with. I did my interview with Clump and Jared
1:27:26
Speaker 17: and like the equestrian arena, like in Florida, horses they
1:27:29
Speaker 17: were Yeah. I was showed at my computer screen and
1:27:31
Speaker 17: like the horses were going by. It was pretty cool,
1:27:33
Speaker 17: Like I get to ride horses and it's a it's
1:27:36
Speaker 17: a pretty fun gig, like I do the upper tax
1:27:38
Speaker 17: bracket sports is what I call them. I do golf
1:27:40
Speaker 17: and equestrian, so those are like my two specialty sports.
1:27:44
Speaker 17: And then so that's why, oh yeah, that's why I
1:27:46
Speaker 17: brought the horse. So like there's a Bucky the beaver
1:27:49
Speaker 17: riding the horse. Yeah, and I thought it would like
1:27:52
Speaker 17: moodel a question and you get the Chris acronym in there,
1:27:55
Speaker 17: like a homemade gift from Chris. Chris, Chris Man, I'm
1:28:04
Speaker 17: happy to be here. I'd like I applied on like
1:28:06
Speaker 17: I think there's like two minutes before like the application closed,
1:28:08
Speaker 17: and I was like, Eh, might as well shoot my shot,
1:28:11
Speaker 17: and I shot my shot and I made it.
1:28:13
Speaker 6: Dude, Chris with this question was asked to just a
1:28:16
Speaker 6: couple of interns. My figure the perfect person to answer this.
1:28:19
Speaker 6: What is your biggest fear in life?
1:28:21
Speaker 17: Okay, so my biggest fear is running out of water.
1:28:23
Speaker 17: So I'll explain about this. I think my this is
1:28:26
Speaker 17: my conspiracy theory and life. So you know how we
1:28:30
Speaker 17: have all these plastic water bottles and like when you
1:28:32
Speaker 17: finish it, like traditionally, when you finish the water bottle,
1:28:34
Speaker 17: there's always like a little bit of water.
1:28:36
Speaker 2: Left in there.
1:28:36
Speaker 17: So I think if we have too many plastic water bottles, like,
1:28:40
Speaker 17: and plastic doesn't like decompose like all.
1:28:42
Speaker 3: The other trash.
1:28:43
Speaker 17: It's like stay as plastic. So my thing is, like,
1:28:45
Speaker 17: what if we go through all of the plastic water
1:28:47
Speaker 17: bottles and there's no water left? I've heard this, like
1:28:55
Speaker 17: you put it so the so even if it's like
1:28:58
Speaker 17: a little bit of water, so you like you toss
1:29:00
Speaker 17: the plastic water bottle in the trash if they're like
1:29:02
Speaker 17: no recycling or anything goes to the dumpster, goes in
1:29:05
Speaker 17: the ground. Well, plastic doesn't like decompose, so like a
1:29:08
Speaker 17: banana peel, you know, and so like the water is
1:29:11
Speaker 17: still in there. So like what if we run out
1:29:14
Speaker 17: of water, you.
1:29:15
Speaker 6: Know, because there's only they're all the little little bits
1:29:18
Speaker 6: left and all the planet Like yeah, so.
1:29:20
Speaker 3: Like I'm a big big, big empty out the water
1:29:23
Speaker 3: empty out water bottles.
1:29:24
Speaker 6: Yeah guy, you're a big non plastic guy.
1:29:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
1:29:27
Speaker 6: Recycle, Yeah you're a recycling guy. Uh huh, well listen, I.
1:29:30
Speaker 3: Mean, yeah, this is I don't think that that'll happen
1:29:34
Speaker 3: in our life.
1:29:35
Speaker 17: No, no, not our lifetime. But like it's just like
1:29:39
Speaker 17: a I feel like people don't pay enough attention to that.
1:29:42
Speaker 2: Agree, yeah, yeah, I'm with you right now.
1:29:44
Speaker 6: If my wife was around you, she'd want to talk
1:29:46

Speaker 6: about plastics with club nose plastics. Yeah, just gets away

Speaker 2: nine and his older brother was quarterback for Denver Broncos
1:34:11

Speaker 6: At what point did you know that you were like
1:34:29
Speaker 6: this was You're going to be special at this sport.
1:34:32
Speaker 2: You know, I think every kid when you start, whatever

Speaker 2: sport you're doing or whatever you're doing, you're going to be,
1:34:36
Speaker 2: you know, a football player, an astronaut or firefighter. I
1:34:39
Speaker 2: was always going to be a motocrosser. And you know,
1:34:41
Speaker 2: as I grew up so many of my friends, reality,
1:34:44
Speaker 2: you know, kind of sets in your first injury, you're like, oh,
1:34:46
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that. I you know, I
1:34:48
Speaker 2: broke my first ball home. My dad called me as
1:34:50
Speaker 2: sissy and I rode with it for three weeks, and
1:34:52
Speaker 2: you know, by the time I was finally went to
1:34:54
Speaker 2: the doctors, they were like, oh, the boots leg cast anyway. So,

1:35:00
Speaker 2: granddad was Golden Globe boxer. They were all Division one sports.
1:35:04
Speaker 2: I was the run to the family. So the only
1:35:06
Speaker 2: way to keep up really was to have to either
1:35:10
Speaker 2: have a motor or jump off a higher bridge. I
1:35:13
Speaker 2: realized early I was super durable, which turns out action
1:35:16
Speaker 2: sports is like perfect. Yeah, but yeah, So at that point,
1:35:20
Speaker 2: like it was the only way to like outshine my cousins,
1:35:22
Speaker 2: outshine all the you know, the wrestlers and the football players,
1:35:25
Speaker 2: lacrosse players back being from Maryland, and this was something
1:35:29
Speaker 2: that I love to do with my family. Like I said,
1:35:31
Speaker 2: my dad was one of nine, He had six brothers.
1:35:33
Speaker 2: They work family construction you know, a lot of them
1:35:36
Speaker 2: they went military or they went you know, if they
1:35:39
Speaker 2: were could be Division one. They went sports. But really
1:35:42

1:35:45
Speaker 2: my grandma until she was ninety three years old, cook
1:35:47
Speaker 2: lunch for all of my uncles every single day. They
1:35:50

1:35:52
Speaker 2: and we all rode dirt bikes after you know, after school,
1:35:54
Speaker 2: after they got off work. And they never worked past three,
1:35:57
Speaker 2: you know, so it was always family.
1:35:58
Speaker 3: That's nuts. What was your relationship like like with fear
1:36:01
Speaker 3: when you're doing all of this stuff and as you're
1:36:03
Speaker 3: growing up, Like, was fear just absent from your body?
1:36:08
Speaker 5: No?
1:36:08
Speaker 2: I mean my entire all my uncles, my dad, they
1:36:11
Speaker 2: were all like first named basis with all the orthopedic
1:36:15
Speaker 2: surgeons in town. Like I remember I blew up ACL
1:36:17
Speaker 2: when I was ten years old, Tibbi Plateau, Aco, PCO, LCL, MCL, Bucktominiscus,
1:36:22
Speaker 2: Bruce Femer Like I was didn't even crash, just you know,
1:36:26
Speaker 2: motorcycle kind of landed sideways, ripped a whole and I
1:36:30
Speaker 2: was crying and I pulled into the uh, pulled off
1:36:33
Speaker 2: the track, lap to go Regional qualifier for the National Championship,
1:36:36
Speaker 2: and I was like, what the hell, I'm like sitting
1:36:38
Speaker 2: there ball on. He's like, I've seen people he was
1:36:40
Speaker 2: Military's like, I see people get shot that cried less
1:36:42
Speaker 2: than this, Like there was not a lot of sympathy.
1:36:44
Speaker 2: He's like, well, was it broken or torn? I'm like, yes,
1:36:47
Speaker 2: it's all the above. Turned out it was, but you know,
1:36:50
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, pain wasn't really all
1:36:55
Speaker 2: I don't nurture nature. It was definitely kind of a
1:36:57
Speaker 2: little bit of both. Like it's a tough family, but
1:37:00
Speaker 2: it wasn't you weren't allowed to have an excuse. Yeah,
1:37:04
Speaker 2: if that makes sense, probably probably like you guys are like,
1:37:07
Speaker 2: you know, coming from half when we're coming from football
1:37:10
Speaker 2: and the other half we're coming from military. So it
1:37:13
Speaker 2: was it was a pretty tough family.
1:37:14
Speaker 3: Not a lot of space.
1:37:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you when you basically dislocate your entire leg
1:37:20
Speaker 6: from your body and your your dad's like, I've seen
1:37:22
Speaker 6: people cry less by getting shot and you finished.
1:37:25
Speaker 2: Did you end up finished finishing the race? I did
1:37:27
Speaker 2: not finish the race.
1:37:27
Speaker 6: Did not finished?
1:37:29
Speaker 2: You didn't do that?
1:37:29
Speaker 6: And he's he's feels the type of way you go
1:37:31
Speaker 6: get the X rays, the m RI, I whatever takes
1:37:33
Speaker 6: place with these orthopedic surgeons that are on first name
1:37:35
Speaker 6: basis and they see the result of what's happened to
1:37:37
Speaker 6: your body. Was your dad ever like, hey, that's on me.
1:37:40
Speaker 6: I probably should have should have looked into that a
1:37:43
Speaker 6: little bit more.
1:37:45
Speaker 2: And I have a really good relationship with my my parents,
1:37:48
Speaker 2: my family. It's it's just such a tight ending. Like
1:37:50
Speaker 2: I said, my grandma cooked lunch for us every single day.
1:37:53
Speaker 2: You know, it's it was open revolving doors. Everyone lived
1:37:56
Speaker 2: on the same road. But the best compliment my dad
1:37:58
Speaker 2: ever gave me what he pushed me back in the
1:38:02
Speaker 2: water and said said, f you. And that was because
1:38:04
Speaker 2: I did a double flip out of a tree and
1:38:06
Speaker 2: I had broken the branch on the way off, so
1:38:08
Speaker 2: he was trying to out do it, but the branch snapped,
1:38:10
Speaker 2: so he hit two more branches on the way down
1:38:11
Speaker 2: and belly flopped from sixty feet and I did something
1:38:13
Speaker 2: he couldn't do. It was the best comment I ever got.
1:38:18
Speaker 2: So it's a unique family. But it's uh, it's kind
1:38:22
Speaker 2: of family first.
1:38:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like you guys are just years love each other.
1:38:25
Speaker 6: You have the meals, but the foundation is like competition.
1:38:28
Speaker 6: Who could have essentially do the most extreme thing? Well
1:38:32
Speaker 6: point yeah to us to a certain extent.
1:38:34
Speaker 2: I mean my uncle another one my uncle's was a
1:38:36
Speaker 2: national champion archery and he was bodybuilder and he was
1:38:39
Speaker 2: pretty adhd and just kind of went down the rabbit
1:38:42
Speaker 2: hole with whatever he went down. Yeah, And from the
1:38:44
Speaker 2: time I was four years old, I'd come back from
1:38:46
Speaker 2: the races and I wasn't allowed to say anything about
1:38:48
Speaker 2: the race until he asked, because I was and then
1:38:51
Speaker 2: Huncle Richie would be like, how'd you do? And if
1:38:54
Speaker 2: I answered with anything but the position that I got,
1:38:58
Speaker 2: he would walk out, wouldn't say anything, wasn't allowed to
1:39:00
Speaker 2: So I'd be like third, and I have to wait
1:39:03
Speaker 2: for him to be like, okay, well tell me what that.
1:39:05
Speaker 2: Well I crashed in the first turn or whatever. But
1:39:07
Speaker 2: like the family just didn't allow it was accountability, I
1:39:11
Speaker 2: think was the main thing. And it was really cool.
1:39:13
Speaker 2: So my uncle Alan, he was like, look, you're never
1:39:17
Speaker 2: gonna make it professional and make a living at anything
1:39:20
Speaker 2: you love to do. He's like, I work, you know,
1:39:23
Speaker 2: he does. I teach senior citizens water aerobics and coach
1:39:27
Speaker 2: high school lacrosse and football. He goes, and I made
1:39:30
Speaker 2: it to the NFL, might have been one of the
1:39:31
Speaker 2: best athletes ever out of Annapolis. He said, you're gonna
1:39:33
Speaker 2: be you know, working instructure, You're gonna be doing whatever,
1:39:36
Speaker 2: he said. But any day that you get to do
1:39:38
Speaker 2: what you love to do, he's like, ride that train
1:39:41
Speaker 2: to the wheels fall off and don't leave a single
1:39:43
Speaker 2: rock unturned. Because he had a chance to go, yeah,
1:39:47
Speaker 2: there you go, un clown. But he had a chance
1:39:49
Speaker 2: to go play for Canadian football or be a bench quarterback,
1:39:54
Speaker 2: and he was like, ah, it's so stupid, and he
1:39:56
Speaker 2: like left the league and he's like, man, getting paid
1:40:00
Speaker 2: to sit on the bench, to go around travel in
1:40:02
Speaker 2: the world, you know, the country with some of your
1:40:04
Speaker 2: best friends, and to learn from some of the best
1:40:07
Speaker 2: and to keep working to try to do that, or
1:40:08
Speaker 2: even to go get paid in Canaday. He's like, I
1:40:11
Speaker 2: gave it up out of pride. And he's like, I
1:40:12
Speaker 2: want to make sure that no matter what happens in
1:40:14
Speaker 2: your life, that you appreciate every single day and know
1:40:17
Speaker 2: that this rock could be over anytime.
1:40:18
Speaker 3: Damn. Man, When you're sitting there and you don't get
1:40:22
Speaker 3: asked the question about your races. Last is that because
1:40:24
Speaker 3: the family didn't really care or like you being in racing.
1:40:28
Speaker 3: All they was like lower on the totem pole like
1:40:30
Speaker 3: so and so playing football, bodybuilding whatever, like the stuff
1:40:33
Speaker 3: that your dad was fascinated in. Then he'd just go
1:40:35
Speaker 3: over to Travis Bay. Hey, how's the race today. No,
1:40:38
Speaker 3: it was actually kind of the opposite of that. They
1:40:40
Speaker 3: were all I mean, you know, my dad was construction
1:40:44
Speaker 3: with the family, just based on waterproofing and concrete all
1:40:48
Speaker 3: like small. They never they never took on more employees.
1:40:50
Speaker 3: They only worked with family.
1:40:52
Speaker 2: They never worked far enough away from home that they
1:40:54
Speaker 2: didn't come back to Grandma's house for lunch, like family
1:40:57
Speaker 2: first kind of thing. But they make a lot of money,
1:41:00
Speaker 2: and they all sacrificed, like their paychecks to help pay
1:41:04
Speaker 2: for gas and help pay for bikes and help pay
1:41:06
Speaker 2: for you know, when we need to get to the
1:41:08
Speaker 2: races and stuff like that. So definitely from a very
1:41:11
Speaker 2: young age, they the whole family. You know, it takes
1:41:15
Speaker 2: a village, like you guys know, football is a little
1:41:18
Speaker 2: different in that I'm not saying it doesn't take as
1:41:21
Speaker 2: much by any stretch of the imagination, but with the family,
1:41:23
Speaker 2: you know, especially coming from you know, pretty much any
1:41:26
Speaker 2: family in the US, Like you're gonna have to have
1:41:28
Speaker 2: a lot of support from from friends, family, sponsors, whatever
1:41:31
Speaker 2: it may be to get to that national championship level
1:41:34
Speaker 2: and whatnot. But my family did not tolerate excuses. You know.
1:41:39
Speaker 2: They're like, look, you're getting an opportunity to do this,
1:41:43
Speaker 2: so just be appreciated for every moment, and we don't
1:41:46
Speaker 2: want to hear excuses. Don't be sorry to be better.
1:41:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fascinating too because we had on Bubba Wallace
1:41:53
Speaker 3: last week when he was like getting his leg into
1:41:55
Speaker 3: going into more like a national platform because he would
1:41:59
Speaker 3: have to pay like two hundred and fifty grand a year.
1:42:02
Speaker 3: And then they like for racers, there's so many racers
1:42:04
Speaker 3: that you just don't see because they just are not
1:42:06
Speaker 3: able to afford paying that year and in year out
1:42:08
Speaker 3: unless you have sponsors and everything else. So I can
1:42:11
Speaker 3: imagine the pressure that comes with paychecks going into you
1:42:15
Speaker 3: racing and then the not like they just expect you
1:42:18
Speaker 3: to win, but they're expecting you to make progress in
1:42:20
Speaker 3: such a way to where you're almost feeling like, you know,
1:42:22
Speaker 3: I gotta find ways to continue if I want to
1:42:24
Speaker 3: do this every year. I got to find ways or
1:42:27
Speaker 3: to give them a reason to continue to fuel, you know,
1:42:30
Speaker 3: whether it's sponsorships, traveling somewhere, getting gas for the for
1:42:34
Speaker 3: the dirt bikes, motorcycles, everything that you did. I'm sure
1:42:37
Speaker 3: that came with like a level of expectation when you're
1:42:39
Speaker 3: coming home.
1:42:41
Speaker 2: Yes and no, my family didn't. They were all convinced
1:42:44
Speaker 2: that I'd never make you to motocross. But in the
1:42:47
Speaker 2: nicest way back, except for my mom. My mom always
1:42:49
Speaker 2: believed in me, like, yeah, You're going to be the
1:42:52
Speaker 2: Supercross Cheffi, even the next Mondrath or whatever. But no,
1:42:55
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, they just cared that
1:42:57
Speaker 2: I worked. So my dad is funny thing, like I
1:43:01
Speaker 2: was in third grade, I want to go to Florida
1:43:02
Speaker 2: for Minio's and race some of the best. Carmichael was
1:43:05
Speaker 2: down there, you know, you had a lot of your
1:43:07
Speaker 2: top riders were all down you know, James Stewart, like
1:43:09
Speaker 2: Florida Winter Series was where you went. And my Dad's like, well, shoot,
1:43:14
Speaker 2: I got a taken off early on Friday, picking you
1:43:16
Speaker 2: up from school, driving with my mom, you know, driving
1:43:19
Speaker 2: twelve hours down there. It's a lot. It's a big
1:43:21
Speaker 2: ask on. You know, the weekends, we're selling the boat,
1:43:23
Speaker 2: we're selling the Harley. And you know this is me
1:43:25
Speaker 2: in third grade, so it's it's still a kid not
1:43:28
Speaker 2: really knowing what it takes to get there. And my
1:43:31
Speaker 2: dad said, look when the school season started, or school season, sorry,
1:43:34
Speaker 2: school year. Yeah, he goes, Hey, you run one mile.
1:43:37
Speaker 2: It's not asking a lot. One mile every day. I
1:43:40
Speaker 2: don't care if it's snowing. I don't care if it's hot.
1:43:41
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's raining. You don't care for sick.
1:43:44
Speaker 2: So you get your homework done to keep on out
1:43:46
Speaker 2: a roll, and you run one mile every day. And
1:43:48
Speaker 2: I feel like that as long as I did. He
1:43:50
Speaker 2: was so I went with my friend one day and
1:43:52
Speaker 2: my friend was stopped at the first gas station, was
1:43:55
Speaker 2: like quarter mile out, and my dad saw him, like,
1:43:57
Speaker 2: have a slurpee at seven eleven, and he was like, see,
1:44:00
Speaker 2: I goes. I was so excited. I came around the corner.
1:44:01
Speaker 2: I thought, Oh, they're just going against slurberies. They're not
1:44:03
Speaker 2: even running. He's like, man, we're getting the boat back,
1:44:05
Speaker 2: getting the Harley packed. Me ain't going to Florida. And
1:44:08
Speaker 2: he was equally as proud as he was you know,
1:44:10
Speaker 2: not that I was my friend. But let me go
1:44:15
Speaker 2: back to that. So the seventy seven Carson JOSVR Nascar. Yes, yeah,
1:44:20
Speaker 2: so I know you had Bubba last week and they
1:44:22
Speaker 2: were talking about Carson. Carson's he doesn't have a lot
1:44:25
Speaker 2: of friends at the racetrack. He's one of my favorite humans.
1:44:29
Speaker 2: Like he brought me in. We had a rain delay.
1:44:32
Speaker 2: I jumped in for the Truck Series two weeks ago
1:44:34
Speaker 2: in Charlotte and he's like, dude, come on over. I
1:44:36
Speaker 2: got a sim in in my motor home. So we're
1:44:38
Speaker 2: in the motorhome. He's like coaching me through because we
1:44:40
Speaker 2: didn't get practice. Yeah, and I had no idea what
1:44:42
Speaker 2: I was doing. I've been in a couple of years. Anyway,
1:44:45
Speaker 2: long story long, Carson. But this guy right here, he
1:44:50
Speaker 2: he just goes out and he runs every lap. So
1:44:52
Speaker 2: we were at Daytona this year racing the Truck Series
1:44:55
Speaker 2: and he's like, follow me. So he goes by me,
1:44:58
Speaker 2: hand out the window, give me the horns, going like
1:45:01
Speaker 2: one one hand on the wheel, drifting going out of
1:45:03
Speaker 2: turn four. It freaking Daytona. Three corners later, freaking spins
1:45:07
Speaker 2: almost takes us both out. He comes gets his car fixed,
1:45:09
Speaker 2: comes back by hand out the window again, give me
1:45:12
Speaker 2: the horns, waving me on two laps letters again, Dude,
1:45:14
Speaker 2: he's eating out. If there's an inch, if there's a centimeter,
1:45:18
Speaker 2: that guy he fills whatever hole is available. So it's
1:45:21
Speaker 2: it's kind of fun seeing him come up and how
1:45:23
Speaker 2: much the rest of the drivers hate him. But how
1:45:25
Speaker 2: good this kid? Yeah, because it was it was.
1:45:28
Speaker 6: Wildless and abubble talk about like this kidally doesn't care
1:45:31
Speaker 6: about anything, gets after and kind of feel like, Okay,
1:45:33
Speaker 6: this guy's like the villain of NASCAR, and you're sitting
1:45:35
Speaker 6: over you're saying, this is the greatest guy of all time?
1:45:37
Speaker 6: Is it just because of his competitive spear that these
1:45:39
Speaker 6: NASCAR guys are like, Now, guy.
1:45:41
Speaker 3: Like the vets, you know what I mean. Yeah, got
1:45:44
Speaker 3: a little hot rod toom. Got a style or of
1:45:46
Speaker 3: personality that doesn't necessarily mess with the way that they
1:45:48
Speaker 3: would want it to mess.
1:45:49
Speaker 2: Hit the dinners with the boys, that type of thing. Yeah, Well,
1:45:53
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys know there's a little bit of
1:45:55
Speaker 2: that respect for the veterans. Like I mean, I don't know,
1:45:59
Speaker 2: but if there's a veteran quarter, maybe maybe you hit
1:46:01
Speaker 2: him harder. I have no idea, but like in general,
1:46:03
Speaker 2: there's that if you don't have to like go for
1:46:07
Speaker 2: the knees.
1:46:07
Speaker 6: You don't you know, I don't know if that unspoken
1:46:11
Speaker 6: rules in football if you're if you're a rookie or
1:46:13
Speaker 6: in the first three years, like anybody who's a vested veteran,
1:46:17
Speaker 6: you kind of like let them have the go ahead.
1:46:21
Speaker 2: There's no yeah exactly, there's no go aheads, there's no givens,
1:46:24
Speaker 2: there's no but Carson just and any of that general
1:46:27
Speaker 2: pecking order in the supercross world, does it kind of
1:46:32
Speaker 2: operate the same way generally. Difference in supercross is that
1:46:38
Speaker 2: like Rickey Carmichael our final year. You know, when I
1:46:41
Speaker 2: was raising, he could have gone out on a box stock.
1:46:43
Speaker 2: He could have bought a bike from his local dealership,
1:46:46
Speaker 2: probably not even adjusted to the clickers, and gone out
1:46:48
Speaker 2: and won outdoors. Maybe not supercross because it's the wolfs.
1:46:52
Speaker 2: This bench would pack and stuff, but like, yeah, there
1:46:54
Speaker 2: you go. Carmichael, number four, greatest of all time, greatest
1:46:57
Speaker 2: ever do it. And he was that good because if
1:47:02
Speaker 2: you train harder, you are not so you can carry
1:47:05
Speaker 2: a motorcycle, but you can't carry a car. And a
1:47:07
Speaker 2: car you're strapped in so you need to work with
1:47:09
Speaker 2: your team, and you need to have an awesome crew
1:47:12
Speaker 2: chief and pit crew, and you need to you know,
1:47:14
Speaker 2: half of the deal will be in the best in racing,
1:47:16
Speaker 2: and the championships that we won have been because I've
1:47:20
Speaker 2: had the best team and we've invested in the time
1:47:24
Speaker 2: and I've had the same. So other four people in
1:47:27
Speaker 2: my car this year for rally, two of them were
1:47:30
Speaker 2: at my very first rally on my car in two
1:47:32
Speaker 2: thousand and three. Like we're getting old together, you know.
1:47:35
Speaker 2: We took this ride and the company's built and Subaru
1:47:39
Speaker 2: is built and everything, but at the end of the day,
1:47:42
Speaker 2: it's those friendships. Like it came down there was myself
1:47:45
Speaker 2: and my teammate battling. Towards the end, my teammate was better.
1:47:48
Speaker 2: I got there on just taking chances and getting lucky,
1:47:51
Speaker 2: and we're down to the final round. I not only
1:47:54
Speaker 2: have to win the event, but I have to win
1:47:57
Speaker 2: more stages because we were tied on everything coming down
1:47:59
Speaker 2: the same car, same teams, and my team we divided
1:48:03
Speaker 2: the uh suber a red team, blue team, and our
1:48:08
Speaker 2: team did some shady stuff and I got I got
1:48:11
Speaker 2: the I got the win because you know, and one
1:48:16
Speaker 2: of those things like you know, I didn't have a
1:48:17
Speaker 2: single beer until I was twenty two years old. I didn't.
1:48:19
Speaker 2: But and not say that's good, but going with the
1:48:22
Speaker 2: team and taking the time to go out and just
1:48:26
Speaker 2: not go out, go out, but like have a couple
1:48:28
Speaker 2: of beers after the race, make him feel like you care. Yeah,
1:48:31
Speaker 2: well actually caring. Not just making him feel like you care,
1:48:33
Speaker 2: but being being a freaking part of it. And I
1:48:35
Speaker 2: can't even imagine, you know, with football, like you see
1:48:39
Speaker 2: some teams that you think, man, I don't, I don't
1:48:41
Speaker 2: know that any one of these players is the best
1:48:43
Speaker 2: of what they do, but damn they get together and
1:48:45
Speaker 2: they're unbeatable, you know.
1:48:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you're basically explaining an offensive line, like
1:48:49
Speaker 6: the guys that block each and every single play. Like individually,
1:48:52
Speaker 6: there it's nobody, but as a group, it's like the camaraderie,
1:48:54
Speaker 6: the people understanding what this guy's got to do so
1:48:57
Speaker 6: you can help him out and know his drinks and weaknesses,
1:48:59
Speaker 6: going at the dinner, getting to know each other and
1:49:01
Speaker 6: just feeling like they guy you You want to feel
1:49:03
Speaker 6: your guy has your back, and so getting all those
1:49:05
Speaker 6: things done is that's the offensive line in an absolute nutshell.
1:49:09
Speaker 6: Look at these boys right here, the ultimate team sport man.
1:49:11
Speaker 6: That's it, right, that's a twenty sixteen boys.
1:49:14
Speaker 3: So when you're breaking down Carmichael, you were just saying
1:49:16
Speaker 3: he was so damn good it didn't really matter what
1:49:18
Speaker 3: he was.
1:49:19
Speaker 2: So I remember him in the video game there you go, Yeah,
1:49:22
Speaker 2: like the video game. Yeah, well, and he didn't It's
1:49:25
Speaker 2: kind of like Sean White a little in snowboarding, like
1:49:28
Speaker 2: a lot of his peers didn't like him. Like when
1:49:31
Speaker 2: I was on Seam Suzuki right there with Carmichael, I
1:49:33
Speaker 2: wasn't allowed to be on the test track at the
1:49:34
Speaker 2: same time he was. I wasn't allowed My coach, Gary Bailey,
1:49:37
Speaker 2: couldn't film him. We couldn't like, we weren't allowed to
1:49:41
Speaker 2: see anything that he did. And I'd go to the
1:49:43
Speaker 2: Yamaha test track, which was right up the road and
1:49:45
Speaker 2: ride with Chad Reid because Reid was just this ausye asshole,
1:49:48
Speaker 2: And I mean that with the nicest way possible, Like
1:49:51
Speaker 2: he wanted the best out of his competition, and Carmichael
1:49:56
Speaker 2: wanted to dominate, and you know, he's he's a great guy.
1:49:59
Speaker 2: Like we actually hang out a lot more not to
1:50:01
Speaker 2: hang out. But like we're I always had a respect
1:50:04
Speaker 2: for Ricky, but we like he didn't have friends outside
1:50:09
Speaker 2: that he brought his friends to the race.
1:50:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like when he was racing, like at
1:50:13
Speaker 3: that at that time, like nobody really cared for him
1:50:15
Speaker 3: because like a true professional in a way. Yeah, like
1:50:18
Speaker 3: your respect for him has probably grown since you guys
1:50:20
Speaker 3: are probably gotten no.
1:50:20
Speaker 2: Way way more And he's actually a great guy. But like,
1:50:22
Speaker 2: so you got Carmichael that stayed completely to himself, and
1:50:25
Speaker 2: then you had a guy like Chad Reid who invited
1:50:27
Speaker 2: you down to learn everything you did and see what
1:50:30
Speaker 2: you're doing and try to learn from you, and I
1:50:33
Speaker 2: like wanted to beat you at your best. So like Chad,
1:50:35
Speaker 2: for example, he won the World Championship, I won the
1:50:37
Speaker 2: US Championship. I was sixteen, he was seventeen. We met
1:50:42
Speaker 2: down in Australia for the first time because he was
1:50:44
Speaker 2: over in Europe doing the world stuff. So we came down.
1:50:47
Speaker 2: We lapped third place. He take hits me so hard
1:50:50
Speaker 2: on lap one. I go basically to the cheap seats,
1:50:52
Speaker 2: come all the way back through the pack, pass him
1:50:55
Speaker 2: with a lap to go, blow up my ACL. When
1:50:57
Speaker 2: I was still riding, I'm like, ask something's wrong, and
1:51:00
Speaker 2: freaking blew out on the takeoff and case flipped over
1:51:03
Speaker 2: last lap. He ends up winning. Yeah, right here, see
1:51:05
Speaker 2: that guy right there on the inside. That's first lap.
1:51:07
Speaker 2: I didn't even know he was there. He came in
1:51:09
Speaker 2: and just booted me straight out of the I caught
1:51:11
Speaker 2: him though, So anyway, Reid comes back. So I got
1:51:14
Speaker 2: a blown a c L and like I didn't even
1:51:16
Speaker 2: finish the race. We lapped third. We left the next
1:51:20
Speaker 2: best person that was in Australia. In Australia at the
1:51:22
Speaker 2: Supercross Sydney or super Dome or whatever. I head over
1:51:26
Speaker 2: and I'm sitting on top of the podium because it
1:51:28
Speaker 2: was the tallest seat. He comes over, kicks me off
1:51:32
Speaker 2: the podium right there. He say that podium right there.
1:51:35
Speaker 2: Literally kicked me off the podium. I fell on my
1:51:39
Speaker 2: face and look back. He goes, that's my spot, bitch,
1:51:41
Speaker 2: two middle fingers in there. We've been friends ever since
1:51:46
Speaker 2: his first thing you ever said.
1:51:47
Speaker 6: To me, dude, that's first off, that's fucking awesome. Let's
1:51:51
Speaker 6: go this uh this mile?
1:51:53
Speaker 2: How are you this stuff? You so ready to bring
1:52:00
Speaker 2: a mile? Every single day during the school year. I
1:52:04
Speaker 2: get off this is we're looking at two guys with
1:52:09
Speaker 2: massive CT we are.
1:52:13
Speaker 3: Perfect.
1:52:15
Speaker 2: Yeah's clear to uh and what's the best? You do
1:52:25
Speaker 2: this mile?
1:52:25
Speaker 6: Every single day you end up going down to Florida.
1:52:27
Speaker 6: You talked about James Steward, Bubba Stewart, Ricky Carmichael, all
1:52:30
Speaker 6: these guys are down there. Is this like the first
1:52:32
Speaker 6: moment you were like, Okay, I can be one of
1:52:34
Speaker 6: these guys.
1:52:35
Speaker 2: Well, I mean at the time we didn't. They were peers.
1:52:38
Speaker 2: They weren't right, they weren't who they were. Yeah, they
1:52:41
Speaker 2: weren't who they are. But it's cool because a lot
1:52:43
Speaker 2: of you know, in motocross you don't see as much
1:52:46
Speaker 2: influence as you do in NASCAR for who has sponsorship
1:52:49
Speaker 2: or funding. If you're the best, you're you're going to
1:52:53
Speaker 2: people will notice. You could have hand me down p
1:52:57
Speaker 2: O s now. Everyone thinks it's the bike, dude. The
1:53:00
Speaker 2: top guys they train. You know, they're in shape and
1:53:04
Speaker 2: they're fast, and there's something to be said about natural
1:53:06
Speaker 2: talent and you know you don't have to have but
1:53:11
Speaker 2: you could have a box stock bike and go out
1:53:13
Speaker 2: there a hand me down, old used box stock bike
1:53:16
Speaker 2: and if you are good, you'll get there. So NASCAR
1:53:18
Speaker 2: is really interesting because not only are these the best drivers,
1:53:22
Speaker 2: and not only have they gone up from series to
1:53:24
Speaker 2: series to series in one series after series after series.
1:53:27
Speaker 2: They're polished enough that if you're a Cup driver, before
1:53:30
Speaker 2: you make a dollar, you have to team costs fourteen
1:53:34
Speaker 2: million dollars a year. This was a couple of years ago,
1:53:36
Speaker 2: probably costs more now. So you have to be able
1:53:39
Speaker 2: to sell fourteen million dollars worth of product just to
1:53:44
Speaker 2: that's your baseline entry, or people have to believe that
1:53:47
Speaker 2: you could eventually do that, or that you're going to
1:53:49
Speaker 2: build something for their team. So imagine that you have
1:53:54
Speaker 2: to not only be the best driver, but you have
1:53:57
Speaker 2: to be able to speak publicly, you have to be likable,
1:53:59
Speaker 2: you have to and unfortunately it had all these not fortunately, unfofortunately,
1:54:03
Speaker 2: it molded all of the exact same Like if you
1:54:06
Speaker 2: look at Jimmy Johnson, Jimmy Johnson one of the I mean,
1:54:11
Speaker 2: you know, I think seven time NASCAR Cup Champion, phenomenal, right,
1:54:16
Speaker 2: and polish, low sponsorship this whole whole time. Jimmy is
1:54:19
Speaker 2: one of the most fun I mean this and all
1:54:22
Speaker 2: endearment rednecks, beer drinkers, fun having like send it dudes
1:54:28
Speaker 2: you'll ever meet. But he was so polished. He was
1:54:29
Speaker 2: able to turn whatever his sponsor needed. And all of
1:54:33
Speaker 2: these guys are kind of the same. You know, there's
1:54:35
Speaker 2: Jimmy Yep kind of coming out there now he starts
1:54:37
Speaker 2: his team. You can see how intelligent. But these guys
1:54:41
Speaker 2: they're not just amazing drivers, and they drive every single
1:54:45
Speaker 2: day of the week, like just in, day in, day out.
1:54:50
Speaker 2: But they're smart, they're sharp, they're able to understand, you know,
1:54:54
Speaker 2: how to sell their salesmen that are the best in
1:54:57
Speaker 2: the world what they do in motocross. You don't have
1:54:59
Speaker 2: to be salesmen. You just have to ride. So it's
1:55:03
Speaker 2: kind of cool coming from that, you know. And then
1:55:04
Speaker 2: I was able to take the sponsors I made for
1:55:06
Speaker 2: motocross and then yeah, come over to racing.
1:55:09
Speaker 6: So how does your transition or your love switch from
1:55:13
Speaker 6: maybe not transitioning from uh loves, but going from motocross
1:55:16
Speaker 6: to freestyle motocross, Because there was always when you when
1:55:18
Speaker 6: you're coming up through the ranks, everyone's like, you know,
1:55:21
Speaker 6: you ever about the Carmichaels and the Stewarts and stuff
1:55:23
Speaker 6: like that. But there's this guy, this Pistron, a kid
1:55:25
Speaker 6: who's hitting these triples and doing insane tricks as well
1:55:29
Speaker 6: and kind of like put adding a lot of flair
1:55:31
Speaker 6: to the supercross world. When did you start to see
1:55:33
Speaker 6: yourself go more towards a freestyle motocross route or was
1:55:35
Speaker 6: it kind of at the same time.
1:55:39
Speaker 2: So, I mean when I was seven years old, I
1:55:41
Speaker 2: was a kid that was going outside the track getting
1:55:43
Speaker 2: disqualified from the race to go through the banners and
1:55:47
Speaker 2: hit a jump that no one else was hitting. And
1:55:50
Speaker 2: I was a kid doing tricks to taking hands and
1:55:52
Speaker 2: feet off and having all the parents yield at my
1:55:54
Speaker 2: parents for being reckless and endangering and they're like, well,
1:55:57
Speaker 2: it seems like he's having fun. So like they are
1:55:59
Speaker 2: going outside the track because hidden big jump, the no
1:56:01
Speaker 2: ones hidden. That was X game, So it's different. But
1:56:04
Speaker 2: my dad was funny because he was the only dad
1:56:07
Speaker 2: that I've ever seen that had slowed down on the pitboard.
1:56:09
Speaker 2: I was racing in Florida, I was probably fourteen years
1:56:12
Speaker 2: old against Justin Buckloo, who was you know, New Mexico,
1:56:15
Speaker 2: but top kind of West Coast guy where I'm like,
1:56:17
Speaker 2: he's going to be the next you know, next big thing,
1:56:20
Speaker 2: and we were racing in Battle and we were both
1:56:22
Speaker 2: riding way over our heads and just caterback down in Florida,
1:56:26
Speaker 2: swapping everywhere. Just both of us talked a lot of
1:56:29
Speaker 2: crap coming in the race. Both of us wanted to
1:56:31
Speaker 2: back it up. One of those things where we both
1:56:33
Speaker 2: thought we were the best and we you know, something
1:56:36
Speaker 2: was going to give. My dad had slow down. He's like,
1:56:38
Speaker 2: it's not worth it, slow down on the pitboard and
1:56:40
Speaker 2: then justin uh tim fib and fever. And I was
1:56:43
Speaker 2: able to make it, make it through out of that one.
1:56:45
Speaker 2: But yeah, so but it's you know, motocross is danger sports,
1:56:49
Speaker 2: like like football, like anything, you know, contact sports. But
1:56:52
Speaker 2: that's what makes it so great for me. And there's
1:56:55
Speaker 2: no amount of money worth risk in your life. But
1:56:58
Speaker 2: I'd give it everything that I've ever made to be
1:57:00
Speaker 2: able to live the exact same life that I did
1:57:02
Speaker 2: and be able to push those limits.
1:57:04
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, risk every bit of money that you
1:57:07
Speaker 3: have to have a relationship with death.
1:57:11
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, you guys might
1:57:13
Speaker 2: feel the same way, and it gets it's different, you know,
1:57:15
Speaker 2: through life, risk to reward what matters. But I feel
1:57:21
Speaker 2: like in general, I don't even my brain doesn't really
1:57:26
Speaker 2: turn on and until shit hits the fin you know,
1:57:30
Speaker 2: when everything is in, when all chaos is broken loose,
1:57:35
Speaker 2: that's my happy place. And I feel like usually when
1:57:37
Speaker 2: I talk to either military or football or everything, like
1:57:40
Speaker 2: you guys kind of all operate that same time when
1:57:42
Speaker 2: everything's on the line, You're going to get my best
1:57:45
Speaker 2: effort when it matters. When you're tired, when when your
1:57:48
Speaker 2: peripheral vision comes in and you're you know, talking to
1:57:51
Speaker 2: Elvis and breathing through your buttthole trying to get anything
1:57:53
Speaker 2: you possibly can out of it, and you've got arm
1:57:56
Speaker 2: pumpment you can't hang on. That's when I'm giggling. I'm like,
1:57:59
Speaker 2: if I feel like this, that guy I'm chasing down,
1:58:02
Speaker 2: he's gotta be worse. Misery loves company, you know.
1:58:06
Speaker 6: Misery loves company when it is it wild to you
1:58:09
Speaker 6: when Sherm's doing a great job pulling up these clips
1:58:12
Speaker 6: of you at X games and what year was that like,
1:58:17
Speaker 6: and you're looking at some of those tricks and it's like,
1:58:19
Speaker 6: oh my god, I can't believe he's doing it. Then
1:58:21
Speaker 6: there's no way they're going to be able to outdo that. Trick,
1:58:24
Speaker 6: and you guys are doing those tricks. You could do
1:58:26
Speaker 6: those tricks in your sleep during Nitro circus.
1:58:29
Speaker 2: So think about this. In two thousand, carry Hart does
1:58:34
Speaker 2: the impossible. He tries a backflip. He breaks his back
1:58:37
Speaker 2: on the landing, crashes, but landing on the wheels proved
1:58:41
Speaker 2: it could be done. Tries it again, breaks himself off again.
1:58:45
Speaker 2: Pink rock star Alicia goes to see him in the
1:58:49
Speaker 2: hospital ends up marrying a rock star for crashing a backflip.
1:58:53
Speaker 2: We've had an eleven year old girl come over the
1:58:55
Speaker 2: house and land backflips to dirt just thing the And
1:59:00
Speaker 2: this girl now she's you know, she's sixteen. She's like,
1:59:02
Speaker 2: I want to do a double backflip. I'm like, man,
1:59:04
Speaker 2: I made a career in a double backflip, Like that
1:59:06
Speaker 2: was the pinnacle. That was a sixteen year old girl.
1:59:09
Speaker 2: It's five foot one. That's uh. Came over to race
1:59:12
Speaker 2: the National champions this year. She's like, all right, I
1:59:14
Speaker 2: think I'm I'm I can get a double by the
1:59:16
Speaker 2: end of the year. I'm like, I'm stoked. That's awesome.
1:59:19
Speaker 2: But yeah, like just shows you like you always it's
1:59:24
Speaker 2: always the toughest to be the first one to do something.
1:59:26
Speaker 2: You know, the four minute mile is something that always
1:59:28
Speaker 2: comes up and this and that, but yeah, exactly, but
1:59:32
Speaker 2: once someone does it, you know that you have to
1:59:35
Speaker 2: do that if you want to stay competitive. And you know,
1:59:37
Speaker 2: Brian Degan, he still today talks about the backflip. He
1:59:40
Speaker 2: did not want to do a backflip. But the second
1:59:43
Speaker 2: you know, Metzger starts doing the backflip, Carri's doing the backflip.
1:59:45
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, all of us on the East coast,
1:59:47
Speaker 2: you know, we had we had like a backflip camp
1:59:49
Speaker 2: for all the guys and tea cans. Like I don't
1:59:52
Speaker 2: want to do it, but I don't want to retire,
1:59:54
Speaker 2: So like you know, here we go and you step
1:59:56
Speaker 2: up because you see that it's just what you have
1:59:59
Speaker 2: to do to live life. You want to live.
2:00:02
Speaker 6: When when you saw was it carry hert yep, carry heart?
2:00:06
Speaker 6: When he does the backflip and you see it happened
2:00:08
Speaker 6: for the first time, how long did it take you
2:00:10
Speaker 6: to register? Like, okay, I have to go practice that.
2:00:12
Speaker 2: So two weeks later with here we go. So this
2:00:14
Speaker 2: is gravity game. So I was racing the Outdoor National
2:00:16
Speaker 2: Championship sixteen years old. How old.
2:00:18
Speaker 3: Are you okay?
2:00:18
Speaker 2: You're sixteen during wall? This is going down, sixteen, it's
2:00:21
Speaker 2: going down. I'm in Millville, Minnesota now. Roger DeCosta, five
2:00:25
Speaker 2: time world champion, my team manager. He doesn't care much
2:00:27
Speaker 2: about freestyle. And I remember I came back to the
2:00:29
Speaker 2: first motto and this was all that anybody had on
2:00:33
Speaker 2: So TJ lavit a BMX guy. I've been telling Carry
2:00:35
Speaker 2: and I we both went to Woodward. We've been working
2:00:37
Speaker 2: on this on bicycles. And this jump, I mean it's
2:00:42
Speaker 2: at the time. This is like a wall, and he
2:00:45
Speaker 2: just bossy. He doesn't go small, he doesn't mess around.
2:00:49
Speaker 2: He just hits this thing. I mean you can see
2:00:50
Speaker 2: like he waste this whole run, doesn't even care. He
2:00:53
Speaker 2: just wants to do this backflip. And there we go
2:00:55
Speaker 2: up so compressed a couple of vertebrae. He's still got up.
2:01:00
Speaker 2: He was good for you know, says he got it,
2:01:02
Speaker 2: got adrenaline. It masks anything, but so I consider that
2:01:08
Speaker 2: to make. He showed the world that could be done.
2:01:10
Speaker 2: So you consider that a make. Oh yeah, I'm not
2:01:13
Speaker 2: a skateboarder. Okay, dude, I don't I don't care.
2:01:16
Speaker 6: Is there no because there there is a reason why
2:01:18
Speaker 6: I'm asking this question, is like, is there a rule
2:01:22
Speaker 6: for freestyle motocross riders that's like you have to go
2:01:26
Speaker 6: a certain distance or like a hey, did you really
2:01:28
Speaker 6: did you really land it?
2:01:33
Speaker 2: Motocross? Well, motocross is a little different motocross. The risk
2:01:37
Speaker 2: is so highah that if you land, if you try it,
2:01:41
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you credit because you're you're going
2:01:43
Speaker 2: for it right. In skateboarding, it's interesting because it's it's
2:01:46
Speaker 2: pretty I shouldn't say easy, but they can slide out.
2:01:50
Speaker 2: Like if you look at Tony Hawk, he crashed the
2:01:52
Speaker 2: nine hundred twenty times that day before doing it. If
2:01:56
Speaker 2: I crashed the doll backflip one time before landing it,
2:01:58
Speaker 2: i was going to the hospital with a broken neck.
2:02:00
Speaker 2: So for me on a dirt bike, once you're committed,
2:02:03
Speaker 2: you're like, you're pretty in Now. I'm married a skateboarder
2:02:07
Speaker 2: and she would disagree with me all day long. If
2:02:10
Speaker 2: it's to an airbag, it doesn't count. As to a resie,
2:02:12
Speaker 2: it doesn't count. If you didn't do in competition, you
2:02:14
Speaker 2: can't name it, like there's there's a bunch of rules.
2:02:17
Speaker 2: I was never really that cool guy. I just liked
2:02:21
Speaker 2: doing big stuff. Yeah, so for yeah, there's Lindsay So
2:02:24
Speaker 2: as my wife. She's a three time Xam's Golmeos, two
2:02:27
Speaker 2: time world champion, you know she she definitely we're similar
2:02:33
Speaker 2: in what we do. But it's good because even though
2:02:35
Speaker 2: our the sports are in the same place as generally
2:02:37
Speaker 2: in action sports, we have a very much her own identity.
2:02:40
Speaker 2: She's she's snow skate, surf. I mean, at eleven, she
2:02:45
Speaker 2: was a state champion in California for surfing, and she
2:02:48
Speaker 2: went she wanted to go Olympic kind of route with
2:02:51
Speaker 2: the snowboarding, but she didn't like being a fifth place person,
2:02:54
Speaker 2: so she went back to winning on the and then
2:02:56
Speaker 2: when it came out for the Olympics, they announced that
2:02:59
Speaker 2: we do it. In twenty twenty, she went back and
2:03:02
Speaker 2: won the world championship. After having our two kids, two girls,
2:03:05
Speaker 2: and she won the world championship again in twenty nineteen.
2:03:09
Speaker 2: And I tell you all of us were like, she's
2:03:12
Speaker 2: vert and the Olympics are are Park, which is similar.
2:03:16
Speaker 2: Olympic Park is pretty big for anyone that follows that,
2:03:19
Speaker 2: like they have kind of the walls that she doesn't
2:03:22
Speaker 2: really like street skating as much, which is more technical
2:03:24
Speaker 2: ellip tricks, stairs, drop stuff. But what was interesting was
2:03:28
Speaker 2: she's going a little bit, she's skating. I'm like, you
2:03:34
Speaker 2: have rocket power stuff.
2:03:36
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, also had the verts, but yes, yeah, yeah,
2:03:40
Speaker 6: Like there's a little pool, there's railings or stairs and
2:03:42
Speaker 6: you basically it's like intricately figuring out what your strategy
2:03:45
Speaker 6: to me to land all these tricks. Vert is just
2:03:47
Speaker 6: a halfpipe. You have a certain amount of time.
2:03:50
Speaker 2: Lindsay liked the big air, so she hit the Mega ramp.
2:03:53
Speaker 2: She was the first girl to hit a Mega ramp.
2:03:55
Speaker 2: And actually why I found her was because we needed
2:03:57
Speaker 2: a girls are like unicorns and our sports that can
2:04:01
Speaker 2: hit the ramps at the distance that we need to
2:04:04
Speaker 2: have with the short run ups and vertical drop ins
2:04:07
Speaker 2: for Nitro Circus. So Lindsay was the only female that
2:04:10
Speaker 2: could skateboard our ramp. And then we went on tour
2:04:13
Speaker 2: and the rest was history. I pretty much fell in
2:04:15
Speaker 2: love with this girl who was just a complete badass.
2:04:19
Speaker 2: But long story long, she made the decision. She goes,
2:04:22
Speaker 2: look the amount of effort and work that it takes
2:04:26
Speaker 2: takes away from me being a mom, and she's like,
2:04:29
Speaker 2: I really missed my time training for this World championship
2:04:34
Speaker 2: more than I missed my time with the kids more
2:04:38
Speaker 2: than I enjoyed winning that World championship. So, you know,
2:04:42
Speaker 2: it's pretty awesome to see. And I was very fortunate
2:04:45
Speaker 2: because I never grew up, so thank goodness that my
2:04:48
Speaker 2: wife did and that hit all works out. But I
2:04:52
Speaker 2: told her, I was like, dude, I'll be stay at
2:04:53
Speaker 2: home dad for two years. Let's go to the Olympics.
2:04:56
Speaker 2: I'm real proud American. Anytime you have to represent your country,
2:05:00
Speaker 2: let's go. Yeah.
2:05:02
Speaker 6: Were you during that men's men's hockey game against Canada, Dude,
2:05:07
Speaker 6: all of.
2:05:08
Speaker 2: My friends like, oh yeah, all of my friends that
2:05:12
Speaker 2: were police officers, fire Like, we went down and we opened.
2:05:14
Speaker 2: Annapolis was open in the morning. All the bars were opened,
2:05:18
Speaker 2: everything was open. It was one of the few days
2:05:20
Speaker 2: that I was home and I was like telling my wife.
2:05:22
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, I'm going to the bar at six. Yeah, sorry,
2:05:26
Speaker 2: we're watching this.
2:05:28
Speaker 6: Game absolutely my wife. So my wife's from Canada.
2:05:30
Speaker 2: Well, I'm really good friends with Tom Wilson, who's he's
2:05:35
Speaker 2: got the well, I shouldn't say really good friends, but
2:05:36
Speaker 2: he's come over the house a couple of times. It
2:05:38
Speaker 2: was awesome dude, So I would have liked to have
2:05:40
Speaker 2: seen him do well. He's got the most penalty time
2:05:42
Speaker 2: this year.
2:05:43
Speaker 6: Got gotta have a record somehow.
2:05:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and some you know, better than Bash brothers.
2:05:47
Speaker 2: He's got good stats.
2:05:49
Speaker 6: To my wife, she was in Canada for that, and
2:05:52
Speaker 6: like literally I was up there. My kids were doing skiing.
2:05:54
Speaker 6: I'm I don't do the skiing and the snowboarding. I
2:05:56
Speaker 6: watched Its very poetic, but there's no way these knees
2:05:58
Speaker 6: are going to handle that. But they're doing their whole
2:05:59
Speaker 6: thing and leading up to it. I'm like, you guys know,
2:06:01
Speaker 6: like Canada's kind of washed now, it's kind of over
2:06:03
Speaker 6: for you guys, and they're getting all up at arms
2:06:05
Speaker 6: bout them. I'm just letting you know, like these players
2:06:07
Speaker 6: that you think are so great, like Crosby's kind of overrated, right,
2:06:09
Speaker 6: I'm kind of like just poking the bear over.
2:06:11
Speaker 2: And over again. And I had to come back.
2:06:13
Speaker 6: My daughter had a recital, so me and her just
2:06:16
Speaker 6: come back and my wife's with her whole family in Canada.
2:06:18
Speaker 2: Oh you're in the US.
2:06:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm in the US. We wake up early in
2:06:21
Speaker 6: the morning to watch this and between every perioge. She's
2:06:23
Speaker 6: facetiming me. Her whole family's there, They're yelling at me
2:06:25
Speaker 6: and stuff, and I'm just poking the bear and moving on.
2:06:28
Speaker 6: There was not a better feeling that I've had in
2:06:30
Speaker 6: my ten years of marriage when that.
2:06:32
Speaker 2: When Hughes hit that from the record, Yeah, two kids
2:06:37
Speaker 2: one on the way, that was.
2:06:39
Speaker 6: The best, dude, that was It was it was. It
2:06:42
Speaker 6: was an awesome feeling.
2:06:43
Speaker 2: But anyway onward, well, so what was great about that
2:06:47
Speaker 2: was the directly after that. It's like things that Canada
2:06:52
Speaker 2: is the best in the world at curling hockey, and
2:06:57
Speaker 2: then there was just nothing else, nothing lacrosse. All right,
2:07:01
Speaker 2: Tom exactly.
2:07:04
Speaker 6: So going back to the how long does you have
2:07:06
Speaker 6: to you have to ride it out before you landed?
2:07:08
Speaker 6: The reason why I asked that question, I don't know
2:07:11
Speaker 6: which X games it was, but you and Brian Degan,
2:07:15
Speaker 6: I'm assuming assuming there's some level of like rivalry between
2:07:20
Speaker 6: you guys. Just as a kid I would be in
2:07:22
Speaker 6: high school and they'd be like the minimalish kids and
2:07:24
Speaker 6: they'd be like the nic kids on other side and
2:07:25
Speaker 6: be like non militia, those guys suck, and they'd be like, no, dude,
2:07:28
Speaker 6: you know all those things.
2:07:29
Speaker 2: It was like East Coast, West Coast Robbery Wars exactly.
2:07:33
Speaker 6: So Brian Degan, he does is when where is this
2:07:35
Speaker 6: three something like that? And he does the three sixty.
2:07:40
Speaker 6: He lands on like a dirt pile and it doesn't
2:07:44
Speaker 6: go anywhere. He gets all excited. You go after him?
2:07:47
Speaker 6: Am I correcting and saying that?
2:07:48
Speaker 2: So let me go back to the beginning of this
2:07:51
Speaker 2: just a little bit. YouTube is just starting, right. Yeah,
2:07:55
Speaker 2: I'm in the backyard all my friends and I start
2:07:59
Speaker 2: doing this trick into the It's just a three sixty,
2:08:01
Speaker 2: but it's how you have to take off and how
2:08:04
Speaker 2: it works on a motorcycle. It took me six months
2:08:06
Speaker 2: of work to figure out the rotation. Once you see it,
2:08:08
Speaker 2: like I said earlier, if you see it, you can
2:08:10
Speaker 2: kind of break it down here reverse engineer it. So
2:08:13
Speaker 2: a month before X Games, my friend posted to his
2:08:15
Speaker 2: YouTube page. I don't even know what YouTube is. Who's
2:08:18
Speaker 2: the friend, Chris Haynes, Chris Haynes, Factory Haynes. Yeah, this guy,
2:08:23
Speaker 2: So he posted to YouTube. I don't hear anything about it.
2:08:26
Speaker 2: I think I got a trick that no one else
2:08:28
Speaker 2: has thought of that no one else And then we
2:08:30
Speaker 2: get there and right before I'm about to go out,
2:08:33
Speaker 2: so I qualify first, so I go last. Deacan qualifies fifth,
2:08:36
Speaker 2: so he goes out like fifth from last. I'm going
2:08:38
Speaker 2: over my run. All of a sudden, the crowd goes nuts.
2:08:41
Speaker 2: My friend's like, dude, Deagan just landed a three sixty. Oh,
2:08:44
Speaker 2: and I'm like, there's no way, like how like I
2:08:48
Speaker 2: heard nothing, no, because this is before you got social
2:08:51
Speaker 2: Media's before everything comes out all the time. And he
2:08:54
Speaker 2: had copied the trick and honestly, he did it really
2:08:57
Speaker 2: really really well.
2:08:58
Speaker 6: I hate how nice you're band about it.
2:09:00
Speaker 2: So you see that here go back just to hare
2:09:01
Speaker 2: see where I crash on this. So this I got
2:09:03
Speaker 2: a lot of craft for this, so I read the
2:09:06
Speaker 2: rule book. So everyone else that's in freestyle, they're in
2:09:08
Speaker 2: freestyle because they love riding their bike. So this is
2:09:10
Speaker 2: a three sixty right here, barely h so crashing there
2:09:14
Speaker 2: and I watched this, so I called time out. I
2:09:15
Speaker 2: look at the so I said one more put my
2:09:18
Speaker 2: hands together in the timeout that.
2:09:20
Speaker 6: Got with the headband that's Brian Degan, by the way,
2:09:22
Speaker 6: yept but he still gives me crap because there was
2:09:25
Speaker 6: three seconds left.
2:09:26
Speaker 2: Now there's a rule at X Games. It was made
2:09:29
Speaker 2: for the BMX guys really that if you break your bike,
2:09:32
Speaker 2: you can call time out and the clock stops, but
2:09:35
Speaker 2: you have to be aimed at the jump to do
2:09:38
Speaker 2: to count. So if you call time out because your
2:09:42
Speaker 2: bike's broken, my bike was fine. I pretended I moved
2:09:44
Speaker 2: some stuff and whatever, and I went back to the jump,
2:09:47
Speaker 2: and now those three seconds didn't start until we hit
2:09:49
Speaker 2: the jump again. So I ended up winning X Games
2:09:51
Speaker 2: this year or that year with the crash, and Degan
2:09:55
Speaker 2: still gives me a hard time. But I'm like, dude,
2:09:57
Speaker 2: I was My dad was marine. I came from, you know,
2:10:01
Speaker 2: work hard. I came from the motocross background. These guys
2:10:04
Speaker 2: were all having fun, Dude. I studied every judge. I
2:10:07
Speaker 2: knew what they scored high, what they scored low. I
2:10:09
Speaker 2: knew where the judges could see the landings, knew where
2:10:11
Speaker 2: they couldn't. I knew because if you're out of control,
2:10:13
Speaker 2: the judges are marked down with the crowd cheers, and
2:10:16
Speaker 2: no matter what you think, like, I'm there to put
2:10:18
Speaker 2: on a show. So anytime I had a trick that
2:10:20
Speaker 2: I thought I was going to crash or I had
2:10:21
Speaker 2: to go to flat to get the thing pulled off.
2:10:23
Speaker 2: I would do that in the spot sitting from the
2:10:25
Speaker 2: judges stand. They couldn't see that landing, so you get
2:10:29
Speaker 2: the crowd pumped up. You know, every rule, you take
2:10:33
Speaker 2: every opportunity to win. I took it like a competition
2:10:35
Speaker 2: where these guys took it like they're just having fun.
2:10:39
Speaker 2: And I called time out and Degan still when he
2:10:42
Speaker 2: sees me if like it's so, something's happening, He's still
2:10:45
Speaker 2: like you at the time, Yeah, it was total bs.
2:10:50
Speaker 2: But what I mean the X game, So we'll take it.
2:10:51
Speaker 3: You won the X game, so hang on, hang on,
2:10:53
Speaker 3: digg and he hit the thirty sixty before you because
2:10:56
Speaker 3: you're qualified, work because he qualified, but you still go
2:10:59
Speaker 3: ahead and still do it sixty and still win.
2:11:01
Speaker 6: Basically, yeah, because he qualified first, he basically gets to
2:11:04
Speaker 6: watch everybody else's so if somebody does something else, I'm like, oh,
2:11:07
Speaker 6: I need to change this trick. You basically you have
2:11:09
Speaker 6: the you know how, you.
2:11:11
Speaker 2: Have the high ground on strategy. Yep, you know exactly
2:11:13
Speaker 2: what you need to do. Can I go back a
2:11:16
Speaker 2: second one show? I'm sorry. Yeah. The most disappointed ever
2:11:21
Speaker 2: was one X Games in two thousand and one, and
2:11:24
Speaker 2: I did that. I was the last person to go.
2:11:26
Speaker 2: I had two tricks that I spent most of the
2:11:28
Speaker 2: last month working on, and two tricks had scared me
2:11:30
Speaker 2: that I'm like, maybe I'll crash on them. I don't
2:11:32
Speaker 2: know if I could get them. And I won X
2:11:34
Speaker 2: Games and I cruised through all my run and won.
2:11:38
Speaker 2: And it was the most disappointed ever been. I said,
2:11:40
Speaker 2: you know what, if we're going for a checkered flag,
2:11:44
Speaker 2: that's this person definitely want or this person definitely won
2:11:47
Speaker 2: enter mile winnings, winning as they said, and fast. But
2:11:52
Speaker 2: in freestyle, I'm like, how can you judge style? For me?
2:11:56
Speaker 2: Racing was always what I did. I'd knock my best
2:11:58
Speaker 2: friend down in the lastka, I take my grandma out
2:12:00
Speaker 2: if it meant getting another spot. But freestyle I did
2:12:04
Speaker 2: is a personal thing, so no matter what, Like for example,
2:12:08
Speaker 2: I won X Games had one in twenty ten, I
2:12:11
Speaker 2: came back on a five dollar, well five ausie dollar
2:12:14
Speaker 2: bet with one of the up and coming guys that
2:12:16
Speaker 2: won the year before that I couldn't come out of
2:12:18
Speaker 2: retirement and kick his ass. He broke his collarbone eleven
2:12:21
Speaker 2: days before X Games. I broke my collar bone ten
2:12:23
Speaker 2: days before X Games, he said his doctor orthopedic was
2:12:25
Speaker 2: better than my orthopedic. I committed. I said, I'm going.
2:12:30
Speaker 2: We got to practice. He said, oh, my collarbone hurts
2:12:32
Speaker 2: too much. Well, my parents were always big on if
2:12:35
Speaker 2: you say you're gonna do something, you do it, and
2:12:36
Speaker 2: they'd already hyped it up and blown it up that
2:12:38
Speaker 2: I was gonna do it. So I had to compete.
2:12:39
Speaker 2: So I win in my first round because the best guy,
2:12:41
Speaker 2: Bilko is not there because he has a broke collarbone,
2:12:44
Speaker 2: which really he did it a day before I did,
2:12:45
Speaker 2: so either my orthpedic was better, he's not tough enough.
2:12:48
Speaker 2: So I win this thing. And he gives hands the
2:12:50
Speaker 2: five Ausie dollar when I was about to drop in,
2:12:54
Speaker 2: and he goes, I'll make this a twenty Aussie dollar
2:12:57
Speaker 2: if you double backflip. So no one at that point
2:12:59
Speaker 2: ever on a double backflip in the run because you
2:13:02
Speaker 2: generally need a bigger jump, And ten days out of
2:13:05
Speaker 2: having a broken collar bone, I was like, all right,
2:13:09
Speaker 2: and I went all the way to flat with a
2:13:11
Speaker 2: broken collarbone and did a double backflip and my run
2:13:13
Speaker 2: up my score and took twenty Ozzie dollars from Bilco all.
2:13:17
Speaker 6: That for twenty dollars. So at the end of the day,
2:13:19
Speaker 6: azsie dollars. I don't know if there's a value of
2:13:21
Speaker 6: that's more lot.
2:13:22
Speaker 2: Ready at the time was one hundred thousand dollars to win. Yeah,
2:13:26
Speaker 2: and I risked life and limb for Bilko's twenty Aussie
2:13:30
Speaker 2: dollars signed out of his pocket.
2:13:32
Speaker 6: That is fucking awesome.
2:13:34
Speaker 2: But that's what freestyle's about. Freestyle is about like pushing,
2:13:37
Speaker 2: like the human spirit, pushing yourself to do something that
2:13:40
Speaker 2: you believe is possible. It's an individual thing. Even though
2:13:43
Speaker 2: it's a judged event. Someone wins, someone loses, but at
2:13:46
Speaker 2: the end of the day, like it's a different atmosphere.
2:13:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you ever try to triple byflip.
2:13:52
Speaker 2: That retired me. Took a bunch of years out of
2:13:56
Speaker 2: my life building this ramp, and we had it where
2:13:58
Speaker 2: I was getting a triple back flip around at about
2:14:00
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten feet off the ground. I had
2:14:03
Speaker 2: internal bleeding from belly flopping onto an air bag because
2:14:07
Speaker 2: the air bag was sixty feet but you're still, you know,
2:14:09
Speaker 2: here fifty sixty feet above the top of the airbag,
2:14:13
Speaker 2: dropping in with the two hundred and twenty pound motorcycle
2:14:16
Speaker 2: and I got around one and I came up to
2:14:19
Speaker 2: the air bag again, and I was so scared. I
2:14:22
Speaker 2: was shaking. I'm like, I am never going to do
2:14:24
Speaker 2: this to a wood or dirt landing, Like what the
2:14:26
Speaker 2: hell am I thinking? And Joshian ended up and he
2:14:30
Speaker 2: did it. He landed it to au And now he's
2:14:32
Speaker 2: been three people. He's did at your house, right, that's
2:14:34
Speaker 2: the first house in it.
2:14:35
Speaker 3: Oh, so you've seen You've seen it done by a
2:14:37
Speaker 3: few people at Astrono Land.
2:14:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this was before anyone had done it,
2:14:42
Speaker 2: but that is a cool story. Like, so I tried
2:14:45
Speaker 2: it for three years, spent a lot of money, spent
2:14:48
Speaker 2: a lot of Red Bulls money, spent a lot of
2:14:50
Speaker 2: Nitros money, spent a lot of my own money, a
2:14:52
Speaker 2: lot of time weld and a lot of time building
2:14:53
Speaker 2: figuring out ram trajectory, trying to wait the rear see
2:14:56
Speaker 2: this right here. So this is the first time I
2:14:58
Speaker 2: had I had a Charlie horse here that turned into
2:15:01
Speaker 2: a compartment syndrome. I have never had so much pain
2:15:05
Speaker 2: in my life from something that was just such a
2:15:07
Speaker 2: weak injury. But I told Red Bull I could do
2:15:09
Speaker 2: a triple on this setup. They built it in a
2:15:11
Speaker 2: hot air balloon hanger. And on the first double flip,
2:15:15
Speaker 2: I went through the ramp on the landing. It wasn't
2:15:17
Speaker 2: built quite right. Thank god. I hurt myself because like
2:15:21
Speaker 2: I was gonna have to try a triple, because you
2:15:22
Speaker 2: don't spend that much money and not try it. Knocked
2:15:25
Speaker 2: myself out over the bars and I just had a
2:15:28
Speaker 2: Charlie Horse. Just took the something to the leg as
2:15:30
Speaker 2: I was flipping down a landing ramp and that thing
2:15:32
Speaker 2: swelled up so big. You guys had compartment syndrome.
2:15:36
Speaker 3: No talking about Charlie Horse.
2:15:39
Speaker 2: Talked about Charlie Horse. That went so bad. They had
2:15:41
Speaker 2: a Charlie Horse called compartment No, no, they had opened
2:15:45
Speaker 2: the thing up.
2:15:45
Speaker 3: What's the uh what's it called? When you got like
2:15:48
Speaker 3: a bruise somebody that wants to make it sound worse, a.
2:15:54
Speaker 2: Bruise subdermal hematoma of the right quadrcept. Man, it got
2:16:00
Speaker 2: really bad. So it's a Charlie verse, that's all it is.
2:16:04
Speaker 2: So what is compartments? What is compartment syndrome? Here you
2:16:06
Speaker 2: go check see that.
2:16:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's say a rash.
2:16:10
Speaker 2: Well no, no, the bottom they opened so yeah, no,
2:16:15
Speaker 2: I wasn't even I wasn't even that bad, dude. I
2:16:16
Speaker 2: can't I can't even say anything like they stick this hey.
2:16:20
Speaker 2: So I went to Australia right after that and tried
2:16:22
Speaker 2: to ride and then it like reopened. It's not really,
2:16:26
Speaker 2: but yeah, it sucks. Anyway, long story long, you can
2:16:28
Speaker 2: go to the next subject.
2:16:31
Speaker 6: So Dan gives you the time out. What it was
2:16:34
Speaker 6: it two thousand and two thousand and three you started
2:16:36
Speaker 6: Nitro Circus.
2:16:38
Speaker 2: Yes, so two thousand and three. I basically I got
2:16:41
Speaker 2: injured over and over and over again. And for me,
2:16:46
Speaker 2: we always had this cool area and had just built
2:16:48
Speaker 2: a foam pit back double the backflips just coming around.
2:16:51
Speaker 2: All the top riders kind of wanted to come out
2:16:53
Speaker 2: and ride, and I came from racing, so I actually
2:16:56
Speaker 2: had sponsorship and you know, kind of an income coming
2:16:59
Speaker 2: in before freestyle or freestyle is just kind of getting
2:17:01
Speaker 2: off the ground. You know, X Games is ninety nine
2:17:03
Speaker 2: just starting. Not a lot of guys really making a
2:17:05
Speaker 2: living at it. Most of them have, you know, either
2:17:07
Speaker 2: struggling as racers or just trying to get by. So
2:17:10
Speaker 2: we'd always have people that came out of the house
2:17:12
Speaker 2: turn into like not a frat house, but for lack
2:17:14
Speaker 2: of a better term, like the best in the world
2:17:16
Speaker 2: would come over and they still do and had a
2:17:19
Speaker 2: phone pit right there. We moved up to air bags
2:17:21
Speaker 2: and you see like that's you know. Nate Adams was
2:17:24
Speaker 2: my biggest competition at the time, and we were learning
2:17:26
Speaker 2: three sixties and it was just a real fun time.
2:17:28
Speaker 2: So we filmed it and every time I was hurt,
2:17:30
Speaker 2: I'd just build jumps and invite those guys out and
2:17:35
Speaker 2: we'd make content. Before content was the thing.
2:17:38
Speaker 3: How like how has your how's the business side of it?
2:17:41
Speaker 2: Worked?
2:17:42
Speaker 3: Like throughout your career to where Nitro Circus this is
2:17:46
Speaker 3: your this could be a terrible question. This is your team,
2:17:49
Speaker 3: this is your your thing that you own that you
2:17:52
Speaker 3: took the lead on. Because when you're racing, it's all sponsors,
2:17:55
Speaker 3: right then you get to a spots where you're like, hey,
2:17:57
Speaker 3: I feel like I can do something on my own,
2:17:58
Speaker 3: Like how's the business side got to develop for you
2:18:00
Speaker 3: over the years?
2:18:01
Speaker 2: So as simply put as possible, coming from my uncle
2:18:04
Speaker 2: Allen with the family saying, look, you're never going to
2:18:06
Speaker 2: make a living doing what you love, but every day
2:18:09
Speaker 2: that you can be around people that you enjoy being around,
2:18:12
Speaker 2: doing things that you want to do. Ride that train
2:18:14
Speaker 2: to the wheels fall off and I and also there's
2:18:18
Speaker 2: no amount of money worth putting your body through what
2:18:21
Speaker 2: you put it through. Like Alan, He's whole. Everything changed
2:18:24
Speaker 2: with that, a real big, bad concussion and just his
2:18:28
Speaker 2: personality change. I didn't know him before that, but real
2:18:30
Speaker 2: emotional guy. After they you know, this is a guy
2:18:32
Speaker 2: didn't have a single point scored on him for the
2:18:34
Speaker 2: up to the National Championships and in wrestling and was
2:18:39
Speaker 2: Division one. You know, everything that he did and he
2:18:42
Speaker 2: was when I knew him, just real emotional, real you know,
2:18:46
Speaker 2: don't get hurt, don't do and it was, you know,
2:18:48
Speaker 2: his personality was changed. So my dad always said, look,
2:18:52
Speaker 2: never do any of this stuff for the money, because
2:18:55
Speaker 2: no matter how much it seems like it is, it's
2:18:57
Speaker 2: not worth it. So I was brought up kind of
2:19:00
Speaker 2: chasing my dreams. And when I was sixteen years old,
2:19:02
Speaker 2: my goal was to be the outdoor National champ. I
2:19:05
Speaker 2: met Evil and Evil, I won Daytona Supercross, I won
2:19:08
Speaker 2: the Outdoor National Championships. I went over to Motocross of Nations,
2:19:10
Speaker 2: was the youngest person ever selected for US. We won
2:19:13
Speaker 2: as a team with Ricky Carmichael and Ryan Hughes as America,
2:19:16
Speaker 2: basically the Olympics for US, and I'm flying home and
2:19:21
Speaker 2: I was the loneliest I'd ever been. I was making
2:19:24
Speaker 2: more money doing what I loved than I ever thought possible.
2:19:28
Speaker 2: I was at the top of the game for where
2:19:30
Speaker 2: I could. I accomplished almost everything that I wanted to
2:19:32
Speaker 2: accomplish in that rookie season, and yet I didn't really
2:19:36
Speaker 2: I had acquaintances, I didn't have friends, And at that point,
2:19:40
Speaker 2: it is kind of when we started Nitro Circus. I
2:19:42
Speaker 2: got hurt a lot the next year and I said,
2:19:43
Speaker 2: you know what, what do I want to do? I
2:19:46
Speaker 2: want to travel the world with my best friends. And
2:19:49
Speaker 2: then I met my wife on that and now then
2:19:51
Speaker 2: I started traveling the world with my best friends, my
2:19:52
Speaker 2: two kids, and Nitro Circus was like, how can we
2:19:56
Speaker 2: do competitive stuff and be able to make a living
2:20:00
Speaker 2: doing it? So I invested basically all the money that
2:20:02
Speaker 2: I had back into this, and then this started making money,
2:20:06
Speaker 2: and then started doing rally and invested all my money
2:20:08
Speaker 2: into driving cars and then that started doing well, and
2:20:11
Speaker 2: Ken Block got it at X Games and did that
2:20:14
Speaker 2: and then I invested pretty much everything I had into NASCAR.
2:20:16
Speaker 2: Is why'd you quit NASCAR? Real simple? I wasn't good
2:20:19
Speaker 2: enough a payment, real real drive and turn and left.
2:20:21
Speaker 2: So I just had a lot of money and I
2:20:23
Speaker 2: finally ran out, so I went back kind of you know,
2:20:26
Speaker 2: Nitro circus and kind of that side, and all of
2:20:29
Speaker 2: a sudden, you know, now we got like what you
2:20:31
Speaker 2: guys kind of figured out is you know, how can
2:20:34
Speaker 2: we be around people that we I don't know the
2:20:37
Speaker 2: ins and outs, but dude, busting with the boys, how
2:20:40
Speaker 2: much this is freaking awesome?
2:20:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're your preaching because it is, Well, we got
2:20:45
Speaker 6: done playing and we had this thing going. It's like,
2:20:47
Speaker 6: how awesome is this that we able to hang out
2:20:49
Speaker 6: as best friends have boys were like being around, travel
2:20:51
Speaker 6: around the country and basically do cool stuff that we
2:20:54
Speaker 6: would pay to go do it, but get paid to
2:20:56
Speaker 6: go do it.
2:20:57
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Because you're like to the fears
2:21:00
Speaker 3: that I think we all everybody can resonate with. Is like,
2:21:04
Speaker 3: even when I was done after nine years, it's almost
2:21:06
Speaker 3: like there's a and we had busting going. So thank
2:21:08
Speaker 3: god we had busting going, because I'm just thinking if
2:21:11
Speaker 3: we didn't have busting going, Like, how would I kind
2:21:13
Speaker 3: of be feeling. I'd think like I would need this
2:21:15
Speaker 3: urgency to figure out like what my next thing is
2:21:17
Speaker 3: going to be, my next high, because there's almost like
2:21:19
Speaker 3: a not an emptiness, but you almost just I played
2:21:24
Speaker 3: nine years. Why am I not like feeling like, Yo,
2:21:26
Speaker 3: I've done everything I wanted. I can just do I
2:21:29
Speaker 3: can just be now. But you just never feel that way.
2:21:32
Speaker 3: And getting to have busting with the boys and doing
2:21:34
Speaker 3: it with your boy, like doing it with all of
2:21:36
Speaker 3: our guys who we've had with us for years. It
2:21:38
Speaker 3: is just like a dream scenario that we get to do.
2:21:41
Speaker 5: What we do.
2:21:42
Speaker 6: It's such a it's it's so awesome to find something
2:21:45
Speaker 6: you love in life but eventually have to walk away
2:21:47
Speaker 6: from all those things. And you're doing exact what we're doing.
2:21:50
Speaker 6: You're like keeping the dream alive as long as possible.
2:21:53
Speaker 6: How much fun can we have every single day and
2:21:55
Speaker 6: just see like what comes next?
2:21:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, keeping the locker room alive. Because even in your situation,
2:22:00
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like like you were on the top.
2:22:02
Speaker 3: It's not like you were retiring like you were on
2:22:05
Speaker 3: the top, feeling this loneliness whatever it was that was
2:22:08
Speaker 3: going on in your mind.
2:22:10
Speaker 2: No, I mean just it. They say it's lonely at
2:22:12
Speaker 2: the top, and whatever you do, it takes so much,
2:22:15
Speaker 2: and no one will really know that except for the
2:22:16
Speaker 2: people that like, I'm so appreciative everything that motocross gave
2:22:20
Speaker 2: to me, even all the injuries and all the everything
2:22:23
Speaker 2: worked through and the amount of I mean, my best
2:22:28
Speaker 2: year that year. I broke my thumb a week before
2:22:31
Speaker 2: the first round and run with the cast on. Cut
2:22:32
Speaker 2: that off, you know, race with the flu a couple rounds.
2:22:35
Speaker 2: You know, you just just what you do. You're throwing
2:22:38
Speaker 2: up on the start line, like you know, one hundred
2:22:40
Speaker 2: and three fever going, Oh I got to now push
2:22:42
Speaker 2: to where I'm a two hundred and five heart rate,
2:22:44
Speaker 2: you know, went first outdoor finally was healthy. Freaking broke
2:22:47
Speaker 2: my naviculate, just that little stupid bone in there that
2:22:49
Speaker 2: I was like, it's probably fine. I ended up cutting off.
2:22:51
Speaker 2: Now I got a fuse risks, but totally worth it.
2:22:53
Speaker 2: Cut the cast off, and then freaking go to the
2:22:57
Speaker 2: X Games and when Carrie Hart did the backflip twoekends
2:23:00
Speaker 2: later was X Gams was a week all for our
2:23:02
Speaker 2: outdoor Nationals. It was supposed to be resting or whatever.
2:23:04
Speaker 2: I break my talis. So it's a little bone at
2:23:07
Speaker 2: the bottom of your tibia. Oh no shit, yeah, not
2:23:10
Speaker 2: that smaller bone. But so broke my talis. Didn't tell
2:23:13
Speaker 2: my boss or anything. I they could tell. I was
2:23:15
Speaker 2: limping pretty hard instead of spring. But that was my
2:23:17
Speaker 2: healthiest year I ever had in racing, you know what
2:23:20
Speaker 2: I mean. And that's just because we were able to
2:23:22
Speaker 2: keep any break calibone and you played it and your
2:23:24
Speaker 2: your back ride the next week and you don't tell
2:23:25
Speaker 2: your competitors because they kick you in the ankle start.
2:23:29
Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's actually not me that the famous
2:23:33
Speaker 2: ray MRI on your body. I feel bad about this
2:23:36
Speaker 2: because it's probably at least once a week I get
2:23:38
Speaker 2: a veteran or someone that comes up to me that's like, dude,
2:23:41
Speaker 2: I was down and out. I was just about to
2:23:43
Speaker 2: like end it, and I saw your X ray and
2:23:47
Speaker 2: if you can go through that and come back, it
2:23:48
Speaker 2: gave me motivation. And I'm like crying. I'm like, well,
2:23:50
Speaker 2: I can't say anything now.
2:23:56
Speaker 6: I'm just thinking, got confirmed.
2:23:58
Speaker 2: Was it? Last week?
2:23:58
Speaker 6: We were like a looking, look at this man, how
2:24:00
Speaker 6: is he even walking around and operating?
2:24:02
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of that. But yeah, it's uh,
2:24:05
Speaker 2: let's play the what don't you have? Game? Okay, you
2:24:08
Speaker 2: have those. So my left wrist is similar to what
2:24:12
Speaker 2: the right right wrist is there. My first surgery is
2:24:14
Speaker 2: my right elbow, but I got all that metal taken out,
2:24:18
Speaker 2: So the left hip is there. The right knee is
2:24:22
Speaker 2: so left hips the same right knee. I got more
2:24:25
Speaker 2: in the right knee. Let's see. Left wrist is a yeah,
2:24:32
Speaker 2: so go up collar bone and see what we've got
2:24:34
Speaker 2: collarbone there, so the right collar bone will be the same.
2:24:37
Speaker 2: But on the left side. Yeah, and then back is
2:24:40
Speaker 2: only a few and I got a he is only
2:24:43
Speaker 2: fused in three spots, would be more. Yeah, that's more
2:24:49
Speaker 2: like this. Yeah, I got a lot a lot more
2:24:52
Speaker 2: metal in the one shoulder, kind of like the other side.
2:24:54
Speaker 2: But also I got screws that go from one side
2:24:57
Speaker 2: of my hip to the other side holding that. So
2:25:00
Speaker 2: I was the third known case. So I was told
2:25:03
Speaker 2: to not either bleed out or die after dislocating both
2:25:06
Speaker 2: SI joints because generally you bleed out. But I woke
2:25:09
Speaker 2: up in a different state and it was all good.
2:25:12
Speaker 2: So you have this this metal going on in your
2:25:15
Speaker 2: spine similar different but similar, So.
2:25:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, how did you dislocate both s I joints?
2:25:21
Speaker 2: First time was when I was my fifteenth birthday, there
2:25:30
Speaker 2: was so they started the Freestyle Championship in nineteen ninety eight,
2:25:35
Speaker 2: was able to win the world's first like World Championship
2:25:37
Speaker 2: of freestyle, so I was fourteen years old. Then they
2:25:39
Speaker 2: had a triple crown. So fifteenth birthday and they had
2:25:43
Speaker 2: a double in and a double out, and I was like,
2:25:46
Speaker 2: I wonder if I can go outside the stadium and
2:25:49
Speaker 2: just go for all four and I think you could have.
2:25:51
Speaker 2: I didn't go fast enough, so I landed short and
2:25:58
Speaker 2: I dislocated. Basically, if your spine connects through to your
2:26:01
Speaker 2: your pelvis like this, it all Basically the spine went
2:26:06
Speaker 2: straight down, so the spine wasn't really it was floating.
2:26:10
Speaker 2: I didn't break, the spine didn't set with the spinal cord,
2:26:12
Speaker 2: but it was. It was basically the spine was floating
2:26:14
Speaker 2: within my body. So every time I moved, I'd pass out,
2:26:18
Speaker 2: which was good because I realized then that I can
2:26:21
Speaker 2: only take so much pain. And I'm sure some people
2:26:24
Speaker 2: are tougher they can take more pain, but me, I'm
2:26:26
Speaker 2: like I've experienced the most pain that I could take
2:26:29
Speaker 2: before I pass out, So I really don't have anything
2:26:33
Speaker 2: else to worry about, because if I I can't physically
2:26:35
Speaker 2: experience more pain than that, I'll just body. I'll just
2:26:37
Speaker 2: be like, Nope, that is wild. Second time the first
2:26:46
Speaker 2: six sided shooting for Jim Conna and I I mentioned
2:26:51
Speaker 2: my wife that we might be doing a base jump.
2:26:53
Speaker 2: She's like, I had a friend, Eric Wro, a couple
2:26:55
Speaker 2: of friends, but Eric Runner was real close and he
2:26:57
Speaker 2: passed away doing a real basic skydive. It's just a
2:27:02
Speaker 2: lot of my friends that have done the base jumping.
2:27:05
Speaker 2: You can't make a lot of mistakes, and usually compounds quickly,
2:27:08
Speaker 2: usually get three, something goes wrong, you make a and
2:27:11
Speaker 2: it's usually like, oh, we jumped into high wind, but
2:27:13
Speaker 2: we thought it'd be okay, and then the shoot opened
2:27:16
Speaker 2: and line twists, and then I made an error and whatever.
2:27:19
Speaker 2: I had a pretty easy setup And I called my
2:27:22
Speaker 2: wife after crashing the bass jump, Like I said it
2:27:26
Speaker 2: it should have been a layup. Just didn't maybe do
2:27:29
Speaker 2: my homework. Hadn't done a lot of base jumps or
2:27:31
Speaker 2: a lot of jumps really in the last year. But
2:27:34
Speaker 2: I was like, ah, no problem, and I should have
2:27:36
Speaker 2: just jumped, but I did a flip because I wanted
2:27:38
Speaker 2: to look cool, opened a little low, opened with a
2:27:42
Speaker 2: ninety right, wanted to open straight or left, and then
2:27:45
Speaker 2: I made the decision that I could make it back.
2:27:47
Speaker 2: So I hooked turned left, and I dropped more altitude
2:27:49
Speaker 2: than I thought. So now I have power lines, trees
2:27:54
Speaker 2: or hooked turn again, and I was trying to land
2:27:56
Speaker 2: next to the gym CONNACR And all I had to
2:27:59
Speaker 2: do really when I opened up the first time was
2:28:01
Speaker 2: just to make the decision. Okay, hey, guess what, I
2:28:03
Speaker 2: get to do this again, and I'm just gonna land
2:28:06
Speaker 2: down wind and I'll land, and then we'll do it
2:28:07
Speaker 2: again and I'll try to land where the car is
2:28:10
Speaker 2: because we probably had enough time to go do that.
2:28:12
Speaker 2: And anyway, so I hooke turned landing, shattered my pelvis,
2:28:18
Speaker 2: broke my tailbone urethra, which is a bad one. I
2:28:21
Speaker 2: don't know if you've ever done that, don't recommend it.
2:28:23
Speaker 2: Tube in my stomach while I raised half the rally
2:28:25
Speaker 2: season that year, so I was on the ground. I
2:28:31
Speaker 2: tried to get to my knees and I felt all
2:28:33
Speaker 2: my hips just kind of there wasn't a lot just together. Yeah,
2:28:37
Speaker 2: I could just feel the bones kind of pushing against
2:28:39
Speaker 2: each other, and I kind of giggled because you're still
2:28:41
Speaker 2: in kind of shock, so nothing really hurts, and I'm laughing,
2:28:44
Speaker 2: and the medic comes up. Okay, I'm like, I'm good,
2:28:47
Speaker 2: but I shattered my pelvis and I'm bleeding out and
2:28:49
Speaker 2: they laughed and I'm like, no, like my stomach's warming
2:28:53
Speaker 2: up a lot, like I definitely shat it, and the
2:28:56
Speaker 2: lady kind of laughs. I'm giggling and laughing and then
2:28:59
Speaker 2: like I have that. I don't know what you guys do,
2:29:01
Speaker 2: and you're a lot of pain, but I can't stop laughing,
2:29:04
Speaker 2: so I'm just kind of giggling. I'm laying there and
2:29:05
Speaker 2: they get me on the backboard and I'm like, hey, guys,
2:29:08
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be able to finish the scene, Like
2:29:11
Speaker 2: just bring the car up and like I'll do the
2:29:14
Speaker 2: scene from here. It'll be really funny. And they didn't
2:29:17
Speaker 2: do it. They're like, okay, well, if you think you've
2:29:19
Speaker 2: got internal bleeding. So I was on the way to
2:29:21
Speaker 2: the hospital and I called my wife, woke woke her
2:29:23
Speaker 2: up in the morning. I was like, ah, so I
2:29:25
Speaker 2: shattered my pelvis and I'm got a little internal bleeding.
2:29:28
Speaker 2: You know, no big deal, but just let you know.
2:29:29
Speaker 2: If I don't call the next couple days, I think
2:29:31
Speaker 2: it's going to get pretty bad here. But yeah, you know,
2:29:34
Speaker 2: no big deal. She didn't think much about it. So
2:29:36
Speaker 2: I'm ICU for the next week, like freaking six blood
2:29:39
Speaker 2: transfusions later and I went it went downhill quick. Oh yeah,
2:29:45
Speaker 2: and the urethra.
2:29:46
Speaker 3: So there you go.
2:29:46
Speaker 2: So the the interesting thing about this is this is it. Yeah,
2:29:50
Speaker 2: I blew that one. I was like, oh, we're in trouble.
2:29:54
Speaker 2: I was just trying to land, not in the trees
2:29:56
Speaker 2: of the power lines, but oh my god. So yeah,
2:30:00
Speaker 2: so it makes TMZ. So before my wife tells my kids,
2:30:04
Speaker 2: she gets they get pulled into the like the principal's office, uh,
2:30:08
Speaker 2: for to see the shrink, like are you okay? Like
2:30:11
Speaker 2: they're like why because they had on TMZ that I
2:30:16
Speaker 2: was trying to jump from one building to the other
2:30:19
Speaker 2: and the parachute didn't open and I smashed into it.
2:30:22
Speaker 2: It was it was amazing what they made up it was.
2:30:23
Speaker 2: It made me look really cool.
2:30:25
Speaker 6: I think that is crazy. Seven days in ICU. Yeah,
2:30:30
Speaker 6: but are you it was a week. I'm sorry, but no.
2:30:33
Speaker 6: So but on day three, well this was kind of
2:30:35
Speaker 6: funny too. So day three they come in I wake up.
2:30:39
Speaker 6: They're like poking prod and like a pincushion, and they
2:30:42
Speaker 6: bring the psychologists in and they're like, so, how are
2:30:44
Speaker 6: you feeling. I'm like, I'm feeling like I really don't
2:30:47
Speaker 6: care if I die. And they're like, okay, so you
2:30:50
Speaker 6: know psychologists.
2:30:51
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, like I want to live. I'm
2:30:53
Speaker 2: just letting you know, like I'm very euphoric, like I
2:30:56
Speaker 2: hate needles. I'm cool with all the needles. Like I'm
2:31:01
Speaker 2: borderline happy right now. I'm like, something's wrong, and they're
2:31:04
Speaker 2: like trying to talk to me about like you know,
2:31:06
Speaker 2: life is worth living. I'm like no, no, no. And
2:31:09
Speaker 2: then they came in and like, oh god, we need
2:31:11
Speaker 2: you know, three blood transfers and you're like you're about
2:31:14
Speaker 2: to die. I'm like yeah, I thought I was pretty
2:31:16
Speaker 2: clear about this. So that is so you they put
2:31:20
Speaker 2: you back under for three more but no, they didn't
2:31:21
Speaker 2: put you under. You just get the bag and just
2:31:23
Speaker 2: just put blood on you. Yeah. So eventually the bleeding
2:31:25
Speaker 2: stopped on its own, which was super nice, but they
2:31:27
Speaker 2: they I got all kinds of more screws and pins
2:31:30
Speaker 2: and stuff. So yeah, it was good. But long story long.
2:31:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, do you do you enjoy telling people these stories
2:31:37
Speaker 6: and watching their faces where you're like, hey, this was
2:31:38
Speaker 6: kind of awesome because I was sitting here and just
2:31:41
Speaker 6: in all about you talking about I'm okay with dying. Oh,
2:31:43
Speaker 6: by the way, you're bleeding out and no, no, I'm
2:31:45
Speaker 6: not okay with that.
2:31:46
Speaker 2: No, no, no at the moment. Yeah, but everyone's like, oh,
2:31:49
Speaker 2: you must have a death wish. I'm like, if I
2:31:51
Speaker 2: was trying to die, I'm really bad at it. Yeah.
2:31:53
Speaker 2: Like my goal is to live. I love my life. Yeah,
2:31:58
Speaker 2: and that's what But that's what it takes to do
2:32:00
Speaker 2: this kind of to live the life that I live
2:32:03
Speaker 2: and to be able to at this point, and I
2:32:06
Speaker 2: keep continually reinvest in how can I be around my
2:32:11
Speaker 2: best friends and my family the most possible and do
2:32:15
Speaker 2: the things that I wake up And I'm passionate. So
2:32:16
Speaker 2: I tried five years ago. I was like, all right,
2:32:20
Speaker 2: i'm gonna take a big step back. I'm gonna be
2:32:22
Speaker 2: more home. And I made it about a month and
2:32:25
Speaker 2: my wife was like, you need to have something that's
2:32:28
Speaker 2: your focus other than me and the kids are pretty
2:32:30
Speaker 2: much there at the same point. So I'm like, okay,
2:32:33
Speaker 2: so how can I be around and not traveling? And
2:32:36
Speaker 2: then YouTube, so like taking a kind of a page
2:32:40
Speaker 2: out of your all's book, like what can I do?
2:32:43
Speaker 2: And looking at Cleves McFarlane and all of these guys
2:32:45
Speaker 2: that are really having fun with their friends doing what
2:32:48
Speaker 2: they love. And what we did with Nitro Circus was, Hey,
2:32:50
Speaker 2: I want to travel with my friends around the world.
2:32:52
Speaker 2: Now I want to be with my friends building cool stuff,
2:32:56
Speaker 2: be able to see my kids, you know, go to
2:32:59
Speaker 2: the cheer tournaments, go to the volleyball tournaments, like I
2:33:01
Speaker 2: want to be able to be a part of these things,
2:33:03
Speaker 2: but I also need my own passion and just getting
2:33:06
Speaker 2: these kind of same group of people that are all
2:33:09
Speaker 2: having to get real jobs at this point in their life,
2:33:12
Speaker 2: or even if they don't have to get real jobs,
2:33:14
Speaker 2: they're you know, their spousals, they are sick of them,
2:33:16
Speaker 2: or they're going through a divorce or whatever's going on.
2:33:18
Speaker 3: They just need this.
2:33:19
Speaker 2: And then we got hooked up with Black Rifle and
2:33:21
Speaker 2: sorry to take another left, but they have so many
2:33:25
Speaker 2: veterans that just need that camaraderie. I need that camaraderie
2:33:30
Speaker 2: we take. You know, they had delta. A lot of
2:33:34
Speaker 2: the guys that were in the distraction group that went
2:33:35
Speaker 2: down and you know, pulled the President's yes hype with
2:33:41
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm allowed to say or not say,
2:33:42
Speaker 2: but we have a lot of no camera days at
2:33:44
Speaker 2: the house, and dude, Black Rifle goes, Hey, whatever they break,
2:33:50
Speaker 2: we'll fix it. Make sure barbecues. Bring in street bike
2:33:53
Speaker 2: Tommy and do barbecues. Bring in your friends to Hubert's
2:33:56
Speaker 2: fixing all the tracks up. We got dude the entire
2:33:58
Speaker 2: delta and again I don't know what said, and I
2:34:01
Speaker 2: said by their second try, even guys that have never
2:34:04
Speaker 2: ridden dirt bikes or backflipped anything laying into the wheels,
2:34:07
Speaker 2: those guys could turn off their brain and they were like, Okay,
2:34:10
Speaker 2: this is what I do and they would execute it
2:34:13
Speaker 2: was but to go back a step. Now, I have
2:34:16
Speaker 2: this sponsor that's Black Rifle that goes, look, we're literally
2:34:19
Speaker 2: going to pay you to entertain veterans, active duty people.
2:34:26
Speaker 2: We don't even care if it's on film. We want
2:34:28
Speaker 2: to do so every year we do some Memorial Day,
2:34:30
Speaker 2: we're going to bring over a bunch of gold star
2:34:32
Speaker 2: families and during this time when you know they need
2:34:36
Speaker 2: some people and they're their kids, are you know, missing someone,
2:34:39
Speaker 2: Let's give them some camaraderie. And for me, it's selfish
2:34:42
Speaker 2: as can be because these are the coolest people you'd
2:34:44
Speaker 2: ever meet that all have very similar similar Okay, look
2:34:50
Speaker 2: the stuff that I've done, like I've done voluntarily, no
2:34:52
Speaker 2: one's ever shouted me. I have no idea what to
2:34:54
Speaker 2: the first extent, I mean, not even trying to compare.
2:34:58
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry that you. But the mentality of
2:35:01
Speaker 2: a lot of these veterans active duty and you know,
2:35:04
Speaker 2: people that are that are out, is very similar to
2:35:06
Speaker 2: an athlete that when they're out, like you guys, you
2:35:08
Speaker 2: lose your You know, when you're in a nitro circus,
2:35:12
Speaker 2: you trust your life with the people around you. And
2:35:14
Speaker 2: that sounds dumb, but if someone messes up the jump
2:35:16
Speaker 2: in front of you, you're very least broken because you're
2:35:17
Speaker 2: landing on it where it's so behind you or beside you.
2:35:20
Speaker 2: Like there's that trust and you can go out at night,
2:35:22
Speaker 2: you can go do whatever. But if you're not doing
2:35:24
Speaker 2: your job in the day, you're like you're fired. Yeah,
2:35:27
Speaker 2: you know, like it doesn't matter how good you are
2:35:29
Speaker 2: like and that trust and that camaraderie and that bond
2:35:33
Speaker 2: is something that when you get home and you don't
2:35:35
Speaker 2: have it, it's day to day life just doesn't do
2:35:38
Speaker 2: the same. So we're now doing Channel on nine and
2:35:41
Speaker 2: you see this right here, Like we hold events in Pennsylvania.
2:35:44
Speaker 2: One of the guys that kind of took me under
2:35:45
Speaker 2: our wing when I didn't have enough money or the
2:35:48
Speaker 2: family didn't have enough money to have a new bike
2:35:50
Speaker 2: for the National Championships, and he's like, let's put on
2:35:53
Speaker 2: races and let's give out to the top fifteen amateurs.
2:35:56
Speaker 2: Let's just have him come down to what we call
2:35:58
Speaker 2: pstronal Land is the house, and we get all these
2:36:00
Speaker 2: kids and all their families come down, barbecue and you know,
2:36:03
Speaker 2: set up the track and bring them to the trampoline,
2:36:05
Speaker 2: and we got that's my wife, she shed with vert
2:36:08
Speaker 2: ramps and we got all kinds of stuff that basically
2:36:11
Speaker 2: I'm like, look, I spent a lifetime building the most
2:36:14
Speaker 2: fun action sports park. We're kind of toning it down,
2:36:16
Speaker 2: making it a little more kid and adult and broken
2:36:20
Speaker 2: retired people friendly. But how can we continue to use
2:36:25
Speaker 2: these facilities to have fun and to you know, take
2:36:29
Speaker 2: on those cases like Olivia Reynolds, who you know, she's
2:36:33
Speaker 2: over in England. She doesn't have a lot of opportunity,
2:36:35
Speaker 2: but she's at eleven years old, she's already doing backflips
2:36:38
Speaker 2: on dirt bikes. She doesn't ride for two years and
2:36:41
Speaker 2: she comes back and she's one of the top five
2:36:43
Speaker 2: fastest female racers in the world. And you're like, hey, come,
2:36:48
Speaker 2: come stay with the family, you know what I mean,
2:36:50
Speaker 2: Like it.
2:36:51
Speaker 6: Just not like full time, like you got small breaks.
2:36:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but you know, and and trained with with
2:36:57
Speaker 2: Lindsay and help our kids, like my kids understand what
2:37:01
Speaker 2: it takes to be a champion and how hard you
2:37:02
Speaker 2: have to work to get there. And I think having
2:37:05
Speaker 2: between these veterans and these top racers and up and
2:37:08
Speaker 2: coming kids, so many motivated and passionate people that were
2:37:12
Speaker 2: able to take this this YouTube channel. And you know,
2:37:16
Speaker 2: I still haven't we haven't broken even on it yet.
2:37:19
Speaker 2: Like as you guys know, it takes a lot to
2:37:21
Speaker 2: run everything all that. Yeah, but and this is a girl. Yeah,
2:37:25
Speaker 2: so she's you know, it's and like I said, it
2:37:28
Speaker 2: takes takes some hits. Yeah, she's good. She's fine, She's
2:37:33
Speaker 2: like fifteen, she's good. Sorry that was a little little much,
2:37:37
Speaker 2: but like look at her, yeah, so much. It's in
2:37:45
Speaker 2: the hospital three times, this camaraderie. Turn and look at
2:37:49
Speaker 2: a clip.
2:37:51
Speaker 6: How is How does the liability worked out at Pastronoline?
2:37:54
Speaker 6: Does people have sign waiversant they want?
2:37:57
Speaker 5: You?
2:37:57
Speaker 2: Guys are locked solid out there? Huh yeah, I mean
2:38:00
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you just hope that
2:38:02
Speaker 2: the people that you bring up, Yes, is it lock solid?
2:38:05
Speaker 2: But with lawyers in the US, like, I do the
2:38:09
Speaker 2: best that I can to have as much fun and
2:38:13
Speaker 2: help every Like I'm in charge of safety and that's scary.
2:38:16
Speaker 2: But like I've shown everyone every way and figured out
2:38:19
Speaker 2: every way to crash and to mess up. Like I'm
2:38:22
Speaker 2: not saying there's not more ways. Yeah, but I can
2:38:24
Speaker 2: tell you ninety nine ways that doesn't work. And if
2:38:27
Speaker 2: someone wants to do something I've never done, I'm like, look,
2:38:29
Speaker 2: this is all the stuff that doesn't work getting there,
2:38:31
Speaker 2: and this is the safest thing that we've come up
2:38:33
Speaker 2: with yet. So you know, when someone's coming over to
2:38:36
Speaker 2: try a world record or a world's first, even I
2:38:40
Speaker 2: mean Happy Gilmour, when they're doing a golf car jump.
2:38:42
Speaker 2: They come, they come to us for specs like it's cool,
2:38:46
Speaker 2: like it it's so much fun. And to have this
2:38:48
Speaker 2: this channel on nine nine, this YouTube where we can
2:38:51
Speaker 2: actually you know, kind of film the behind the scenes,
2:38:54
Speaker 2: like when someone's doing something. I mean, for example, you know,
2:38:58
Speaker 2: even I'm Black Rifle and everyone's like, why switched from
2:39:01
Speaker 2: Red Bull to Black Ravelene. It's because of the veterans.
2:39:03
Speaker 2: It's because of being able to do stuff and be
2:39:07
Speaker 2: in a position in my life where I think I
2:39:09
Speaker 2: can have more fun at home and hopefully it's mutually beneficial,
2:39:12
Speaker 2: you know, providing in this area.
2:39:14
Speaker 3: Not that red Bull doesn't, but potially.
2:39:16
Speaker 2: Red Bull was about winning and Red Bull's world records
2:39:19
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But they still come to the
2:39:20
Speaker 2: house all the time. We're still friends of that group.
2:39:23
Speaker 2: I mean, they're still pushing the envelope and they'll come
2:39:25
Speaker 2: over and they'll build an entire structure, like they have
2:39:30
Speaker 2: a skateboarder is about to jump. Actually I think it's
2:39:32
Speaker 2: one of the girls is about to get towed in
2:39:35
Speaker 2: over a bridge in Florida, like a drawbridge. So they
2:39:38
Speaker 2: built the drawbridge in my backyard. When we tested it out,
2:39:44
Speaker 2: you know, we have like Brian Grave, like those wakeboard
2:39:46
Speaker 2: people come in and operate. It's so fun, you know.
2:39:50
Speaker 2: But to be able to have something where we can
2:39:52
Speaker 2: now film behind the scenes that and then we jumped
2:39:54
Speaker 2: in with a go kart and of course yeah and
2:39:58
Speaker 2: the vest ball.
2:39:59
Speaker 6: The obvious next next, yeah, absolutely.
2:40:03
Speaker 2: Here you go. Oh no, here got check this out.
2:40:05
Speaker 2: So Banks, I'm sorry, I don't need to, but I
2:40:08
Speaker 2: so I left. I jumped in with a Vesta and
2:40:10
Speaker 2: like little go kart, a little short jump, and then
2:40:12
Speaker 2: when I left, they put all my favorite vehicles underneath
2:40:15
Speaker 2: and pushed it back until the go kart eventually didn't
2:40:17
Speaker 2: make it, which is right. That makes yeh. I mean
2:40:24
Speaker 2: it made it look the camaraderie man. But so, for instance,
2:40:31
Speaker 2: he waited until I went out of town to do this.
2:40:33
Speaker 2: I was, I'm as kind of head of safety. I'm like, dude,
2:40:37
Speaker 2: if you come up short on that, I mean, the
2:40:40
Speaker 2: corvick would break your fall a little bit. But that
2:40:43
Speaker 2: is wild, that is crazy. Just ca just have Cadisland.
2:40:51
Speaker 2: I love this. It's about failure.
2:40:57
Speaker 11: I just didn't want to overlook the fact that you
2:41:00
Speaker 11: said his wife's she shed has a vert ramp in yeah, that's.
2:41:05
Speaker 6: So she shed she gotta have a vert ramp? Did
2:41:09
Speaker 6: you brought up a guy while you're while you were
2:41:10
Speaker 6: talking street by Tommy?
2:41:12
Speaker 2: And oh wait, before you get straight by, so like
2:41:14
Speaker 2: Tony Hawk came over to ride the vert ram, Bucky
2:41:16
Speaker 2: Lassick came over. Yeah, that's fucking awesome. And before you
2:41:23
Speaker 2: go street by Tommy, which we're gonna have a hike
2:41:24
Speaker 2: contest on this because I think my daughter, who's eleven,
2:41:26
Speaker 2: can set the world record because she's so light and
2:41:28
Speaker 2: she's pretty good like that, she's cheer I never thought
2:41:31
Speaker 2: throwing her into the air and doing flips and double
2:41:34
Speaker 2: flips and stuff since she was like five was gonna
2:41:36
Speaker 2: be a cheerleader. But as it turns out, I like
2:41:38
Speaker 2: groomed her to be a flyer. Not really where I
2:41:41
Speaker 2: was going, but no, no here, So check out if
2:41:43
Speaker 2: you can the trampoline. So we had the d D
2:41:46
Speaker 2: squad out and uh backflipped a motorcycle underneath. So watch
2:41:51
Speaker 2: this from their point of view. So this, uh so
2:41:54
Speaker 2: this guy set the world record height record. So I'm
2:41:57
Speaker 2: thirty feet above the trampoline.
2:41:59
Speaker 3: Crazy, Oh what is that's me?
2:42:02
Speaker 2: Backflipping underneath of this guy? So he went up, so
2:42:05
Speaker 2: that was about forty three feet. He went forty eight
2:42:07
Speaker 2: feet from the tramp as the base. So so this
2:42:12
Speaker 2: these group of people, my daughter saw the trampoline. It's
2:42:15
Speaker 2: the world's biggest trampoline, and my daughter was like, we
2:42:17
Speaker 2: have to have this, we have to have this kind
2:42:18
Speaker 2: of a joke. I reached out to him on Instagram
2:42:21
Speaker 2: and I was like, hey man, what do you think
2:42:22
Speaker 2: about coming out and you know, building your travel Like
2:42:25
Speaker 2: we can build it. Just show us, like what do
2:42:26
Speaker 2: we need? And they're like, oh, like nitro circus, you
2:42:29
Speaker 2: mean like for our Willie and it's kind of dangerous.
2:42:32
Speaker 2: We don't know what we can do. I was like no.
2:42:33
Speaker 2: For my girls at the time, they were like seven
2:42:35
Speaker 2: and nine, like wait what nuts? So they're like it
2:42:43
Speaker 2: was like, who's the guy on the dirt bike? Like
2:42:45
Speaker 2: that's our head of safety. That's great timing, Yeah, great timing.
2:42:53
Speaker 6: But how do you even go through the process of
2:42:55
Speaker 6: like all right, you're gonna go, when do you start?
2:42:58
Speaker 6: You gotta catch speed?
2:43:00
Speaker 2: Like what's the how do you time that up? That's
2:43:02
Speaker 2: that's insane? Has a head of safety? I uh you
2:43:08
Speaker 2: and thought, yeah, that's about that is that trampline still there.
2:43:14
Speaker 2: So the trampoline is still there. It's it's been a
2:43:16
Speaker 2: lot of fun. But we're so these guys are coming
2:43:18
Speaker 2: back out and we're having a competition the house. You
2:43:20
Speaker 2: guys should actually come out for it. Yes, all right, yeah, I'll.
2:43:28
Speaker 6: I'm not here to break stuff, but I just want
2:43:30
Speaker 6: to be a part of it.
2:43:31
Speaker 2: Like, oh, look at them, go I the corner.
2:43:34

2:43:43
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna get street like Tommy. That's kind of
2:43:44
Speaker 2: where I was going with this. Yeah, so on the trampoline,
2:43:46
Speaker 2: Like every team, we're gonna have like bring a couple
2:43:50
Speaker 2: of different YouTube teams. They each get to pick an
2:43:52
Speaker 2: event that they want to do. Everything has to be
2:43:55
Speaker 2: like where you're not going to hopefully kill the other people.
2:43:56
Speaker 2: But d D Squad was like, all right, we're doing
2:43:58
Speaker 2: a height contest, so everyone on your team has to
2:44:01
Speaker 2: go the lowest and the highest score count as your
2:44:03
Speaker 2: overall score for their competition. But for me, like street
2:44:07
Speaker 2: Bike Tommy's on our team, can you not to be
2:44:10
Speaker 2: that guy? But Street Bike Tommy, if he gets up
2:44:14
Speaker 2: ten fifteen feet, the screams that that man is gonna
2:44:18
Speaker 2: make is gonna be totally worth that whole segment for me. Sorry, Tommy, Yeah,
2:44:21
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to sign you up.
2:44:22
Speaker 6: For So how did you meet street Bike Tommy? Because
2:44:28
Speaker 6: people might not know this, but street like the Nitro circus.
2:44:32
Speaker 6: He you see a scene he's doing wheelies and like
2:44:34
Speaker 6: a Cheetah print street Bike. It's the next scene he's
2:44:37
Speaker 6: in Pastrana Land. They're like, yeah, you can hit that.
2:44:39
Speaker 6: He hits it once and you go, oh, bro, you
2:44:40
Speaker 6: can go twice as fast. Somebody not the head of
2:44:43
Speaker 6: safety like, you can go twice as fast. And he
2:44:47
Speaker 6: hits the jump nose over, goes completely over the phone
2:44:50
Speaker 6: pit and lands. I broke his leg, like this is
2:44:53
Speaker 6: he broke a lot? He broke a lot. And then
2:44:55
Speaker 6: after that is it just like Shadow Runner? By the way,
2:45:00
Speaker 6: is okay, you're just and now do you?
2:45:02
Speaker 2: Is that like his assume me? So we brought him
2:45:04
Speaker 2: as a friends, Yeah, I got you. So the story
2:45:08
Speaker 2: behind street Bike Tommy is Tommy's from a town called
2:45:12
Speaker 2: Shady Side. He was he was an entrepreneur, if you will.
2:45:18
Speaker 2: So he got permits to have a high school party
2:45:21
Speaker 2: and made something like fifteen thousand dollars legally at a
2:45:27
Speaker 2: party and the cops came to shut it down. So
2:45:28
Speaker 2: they're making too much noise, And he had noise permits
2:45:30
Speaker 2: and everything as a as a sophomore in high school.
2:45:34
Speaker 2: Now mind you, he was the bench press national champion
2:45:38
Speaker 2: as a junior, but he was two years as a
2:45:41
Speaker 2: junior and never actually graduated high school.
2:45:45
Speaker 3: Sounds like a legend.
2:45:47
Speaker 14: This man.
2:45:48
Speaker 2: He had a different idea of what this day was
2:45:51
Speaker 2: supposed to be. But my friend Jim de Champ was
2:45:54
Speaker 2: at a at a party and he was showing Nitro
2:45:56
Speaker 2: circus street bike. Tommy comes through the party. He was like, dude,
2:46:00
Speaker 2: I could do all this stuff. Those guys are sissies.
2:46:02
Speaker 2: And Jim was like, hey, As it turns out, we're
2:46:05
Speaker 2: doing an event at the house that became known as
2:46:07
Speaker 2: Black Wednesday after that, unfortunately, where we said, look five
2:46:13
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for the most creative, best stunt that anyone
2:46:18
Speaker 2: can do, and we had a bunch of people come out.
2:46:21
Speaker 2: We're just looking for content, just having some fun. Street
2:46:24
Speaker 2: bike Tommy goes out and he takes that GSXR one
2:46:27
Speaker 2: thousand and he puts a helmet camera on like like
2:46:30
Speaker 2: I basically imagine the biggest camera that you could ever
2:46:33
Speaker 2: imagine before GoPros and he runs from the cops and
2:46:38
Speaker 2: out runs the cops. All footage we can't use. That
2:46:41
Speaker 2: is not really what Nitro is about at all, Like
2:46:44
Speaker 2: we're friends with all the cops. Yeah, Like we we
2:46:48
Speaker 2: had Crustium's a dirt that was like the middle fingers
2:46:51
Speaker 2: in the air, and then in Metal Militia and then
2:46:53
Speaker 2: you had Nitro Circus, which you know we didn't drink.
2:46:56
Speaker 2: We didn't. I mean things have changed a little now
2:46:58
Speaker 2: as we got a little bit older, but we were
2:47:01
Speaker 2: very much the clean cut, just having fun doing stuff
2:47:04
Speaker 2: that we love to do, pushing the limits. Tommy didn't
2:47:07
Speaker 2: get the memo, but he came in and wanted to
2:47:09
Speaker 2: do a backflip overshoots the phone pit.
2:47:11
Speaker 3: Oh this is him.
2:47:13
Speaker 2: I didn't know him from Adam And turns out he's
2:47:17
Speaker 2: one of the funniest guys in the world. Knoxville comes
2:47:19
Speaker 2: out c Street by Tommy, him and Jeff Germaine and
2:47:22
Speaker 2: they're like, dude, we're going to work on a TV
2:47:24
Speaker 2: show for you guys, but he has to be a
2:47:26
Speaker 2: main character. And they're like, we need Tommy and Tommy's gold.
2:47:30
Speaker 2: He on camera. This man, he grew up on movies.
2:47:34
Speaker 2: He can do any accident. You can re enact anything.
2:47:37
Speaker 2: Repeating it over and over again is so fun. Dude. Yeah,
2:47:42
Speaker 2: he got so destroyed. And now this this day was
2:47:45
Speaker 2: Black Wednesday. Yeah, because he was one of one of
2:47:49
Speaker 2: three metabacks that day that had the land so basically
2:47:52
Speaker 2: had a rotating helicopter. It was not ideal. Colin Winkleman
2:47:57
Speaker 2: was a good one. So we had a ramp van
2:47:59
Speaker 2: if you want to bring that up. That also happened
2:48:01
Speaker 2: the same day. Is this the same day that the
2:48:04
Speaker 2: dude missed the phone pit and went into the Ben's No,
2:48:08
Speaker 2: Ben missed it on a different day. That was a
2:48:10
Speaker 2: good one, different Wednesday. Yeah, I yeah. There was some
2:48:14
Speaker 2: stuff that didn't make it that we can't really go into.
2:48:17
Speaker 2: But Colin Winkleman in the ramp van. So our buddy
2:48:20
Speaker 2: Nate Wessell, who actually still is working with all the
2:48:23
Speaker 2: stuff for Channel one ninet nine, he took a ramp
2:48:26
Speaker 2: and put on the front of a van and a
2:48:28
Speaker 2: ramp on the landing of the van and we took
2:48:32
Speaker 2: a radar gun. So Colin came down a hill and
2:48:34
Speaker 2: he hit the van at like eighteen miles an hour,
2:48:36
Speaker 2: so the van did eighteen miles an hour, but then
2:48:38
Speaker 2: Colin took a big crank in so he was going
2:48:40
Speaker 2: like five miles an hour, which turns out that is
2:48:44
Speaker 2: more than eighteen. And he basically exploded on the takeoff
2:48:47
Speaker 2: and then broke his back and just located both ankles
2:48:50
Speaker 2: and his tailbone, well, not dilated his tail broke his tailbone,
2:48:53
Speaker 2: dislocated both ankles, and broke one of his heels, so
2:48:56
Speaker 2: he was laying in the road front. Not funny. I
2:49:03
Speaker 2: laugh when things are bad.
2:49:04
Speaker 3: I don't know, ye, all these back injuries, I don't
2:49:08
Speaker 3: know if I do need to go to No.
2:49:10
Speaker 15: No, we got it.
2:49:12
Speaker 2: Look, we've got it figured out a lot better now.
2:49:15
Speaker 3: But yes, I had a safety.
2:49:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were to head a safety back then. So
2:49:18
Speaker 2: this was so my buddy. If you look at what's
2:49:21
Speaker 2: on the screen now, I don't know if I guess
2:49:22
Speaker 2: that's playing, But my buddy Andy Bell, for my twenty
2:49:26
Speaker 2: second birthday, my friend gets me a big wheel and
2:49:28
Speaker 2: we're having so much fun. We actually so trek stopped
2:49:31
Speaker 2: making these. We called and we're like, hey, you just
2:49:32
Speaker 2: continued this bicycle or this big wheel. They're like, yeah,
2:49:36
Speaker 2: some TV show started using them and we had to
2:49:39
Speaker 2: discontinue for liability purposes. We're like, dang it, but so
2:49:43
Speaker 2: we got me this. Jim the Champ got me a
2:49:45
Speaker 2: big wheel for my twenty second birthday, as you would
2:49:48
Speaker 2: for a normal twenty second birthday. And Andy Bell did
2:49:53
Speaker 2: a backflip and got so lucky over this dirt jump.
2:49:55
Speaker 2: It was like biggest. He put flyers up around my
2:49:58
Speaker 2: whole house. I mean the back of my ridge World
2:50:00
Speaker 2: record big wheel jumper like crushed it. So this was
2:50:04
Speaker 2: the time the biggest ramp that I could find that
2:50:06
Speaker 2: I thought the big Wheel was going to make And
2:50:08
Speaker 2: we went to Bob burn Quis House. This is also
2:50:11
Speaker 2: the ramp of my wife at fourteen was the first
2:50:14
Speaker 2: female to drop in. So of course I dressed in
2:50:17
Speaker 2: a zoot suit. I have no idea why. We came
2:50:19
Speaker 2: straight from the X Games after party, so I might
2:50:21
Speaker 2: have been slightly hungover, but yeah, So it came down
2:50:24
Speaker 2: the hill, tried a backflip and knocked myself out on
2:50:29
Speaker 2: the first one. I didn't really knock myself out. You
2:50:31
Speaker 2: know when you hit the back your head and you
2:50:32
Speaker 2: can't see anything. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, So then the next
2:50:37
Speaker 2: time I think I caught the front end and this
2:50:39
Speaker 2: actually started what I so this backflip? Oh no, so
2:50:43
Speaker 2: there's a backflip to front flip that I accidentally almost
2:50:45
Speaker 2: did here And it took about eighteen years twenty years
2:50:51
Speaker 2: after this one here, and I finally did this trick
2:50:54
Speaker 2: and landed on a dirt bike just to an airbag
2:50:57
Speaker 2: because I was like, oh, I accidentally did a backflip
2:50:59
Speaker 2: and almost to the front flip, so now it's possible.
2:51:02
Speaker 2: So of course we tried it on a dirt bike,
2:51:04
Speaker 2: but I broke my hand that morning and I was
2:51:07
Speaker 2: getting a knee replacement the next day, so I didn't
2:51:11
Speaker 2: really have a lot of time to try to take
2:51:13
Speaker 2: it to dirt, so it never went to dirt. And
2:51:16
Speaker 2: then now I got a hip replacement too, So I'm like,
2:51:18
Speaker 2: I'm too old to be doing this stuff.
2:51:20
Speaker 3: But anyway, where are you at in your action journey?
2:51:24
Speaker 14: Like?
2:51:24
Speaker 2: Are is there some things you're like I'm good on? Now? Yeah,
2:51:28
Speaker 2: I'm good on most things if it doesn't involve a rollcage.
2:51:33
Speaker 2: Having said that, these electric motorcycles, man, I just got
2:51:37
Speaker 2: a stark all of a sudden, We're going from sixty
2:51:41
Speaker 2: horse power to eighty horsepower, you know, like a snowmbill
2:51:44
Speaker 2: when you grab the throttle. I don't know if you
2:51:46
Speaker 2: guys don't my snowbiling one.
2:51:48
Speaker 3: Time, but yeah, sixty eighty Wayne wa wa wa wa.
2:51:52
Speaker 2: So basically the track on a snowmobile like levi ou
2:51:57
Speaker 2: la Vallet. Very short human snowmbill, very big snowbill. He
2:52:01
Speaker 2: just waits the track. He did the first ever double
2:52:04
Speaker 2: backflip at X Games just by holding on and giving
2:52:07
Speaker 2: it throttle, like a monster truck goes up and does
2:52:09
Speaker 2: a backflip. Now they're doing double backflips on monster trucks,
2:52:11
Speaker 2: just with the weight in the wheels. So these starts
2:52:16
Speaker 2: and I randomly first time I was riding, and I
2:52:19
Speaker 2: set the region for regenerating the battery. I guess all
2:52:22
Speaker 2: the way up didn't know. I took off on the
2:52:24
Speaker 2: first jump and it locked up the rear wheel, so
2:52:26
Speaker 2: I almost went over the bar. So I grabbed a
2:52:28
Speaker 2: handful of throttle and my feet blew off. I was
2:52:30
Speaker 2: in a suitman and the thing almost at a backflip.
2:52:33
Speaker 2: With this bike, with a steep takeoff, you can go up,
2:52:36
Speaker 2: hold on tight like it. You know. I only did
2:52:39
Speaker 2: it to an airbag. I'm not that kid anymore, but yeah,
2:52:42
Speaker 2: grabbed a handful of throttle, lean my head back into
2:52:45
Speaker 2: a double backflip without ever pulling on the takeoff. So
2:52:50
Speaker 2: people are triple backflips suddenly become really from almost impossible
2:52:54
Speaker 2: to very attainable. And now on a motorcycle, if you
2:52:58
Speaker 2: put the rear brake, you gotta have to clutch in
2:53:02
Speaker 2: or it stalls the bike. Well, with these you can
2:53:04
Speaker 2: stall it out and all of a sudden, now if
2:53:06
Speaker 2: you're doing a bike spin or a flip or anything,
2:53:08
Speaker 2: you can now grab tired, not worrying about taking a
2:53:11
Speaker 2: finger off like how they flip the bicycles. You could
2:53:14
Speaker 2: do that and then you can not stall the bike,
2:53:16
Speaker 2: so you can restart the gyro and give yourself a
2:53:18
Speaker 2: little of a balance. So I think what we're doing
2:53:21
Speaker 2: for the channel right now, Channel one nine nine with
2:53:22
Speaker 2: with our YouTube is my buddy is currently building one
2:53:25
Speaker 2: of the biggest takeoffs ever made. We're gonna put a
2:53:27
Speaker 2: really big air bag on the top of the biggest
2:53:29
Speaker 2: till we got up a starn Land and yeah, see
2:53:32
Speaker 2: that's electric bike sing zing. It's like that is crazy.
2:53:37
Speaker 3: How moves that?
2:53:38
Speaker 2: One two three? Now imagine you're over rotating a triple backflip.
2:53:44
Speaker 2: It's something that I was having to go one hundred
2:53:46
Speaker 2: and ten feet in the air and yeah, grant that's
2:53:48
Speaker 2: forty five fifty feet, but it's not one hundred and ten.
2:53:52
Speaker 2: So it's just it's making the things possible that we're
2:53:57
Speaker 2: on a scale too big to do.
2:53:58
Speaker 3: So, so you're thinking about coming out of retirement a.
2:54:01
Speaker 2: Little bit, not I only want to go to the airbag. Look,
2:54:04
Speaker 2: I don't you want to hit a triple. There's a
2:54:07
Speaker 2: couple of things that are on my bucket list. Yes, yeah,
2:54:10
Speaker 2: it's bucket list. I just there's we even talk about
2:54:14
Speaker 2: the double, but no more than the triple though. It's
2:54:18
Speaker 2: about taking it a route that no one's really taking
2:54:20
Speaker 2: it because right now, the early two thousands were heyday
2:54:23
Speaker 2: for action sports. In ninety nine, Tony Hawk lands at
2:54:26
Speaker 2: nine hundred. Uh, you got Tony Hawk pro skater. All
2:54:29
Speaker 2: of a sudden, all the kids are playing video games.
2:54:32
Speaker 2: You got Dave Mira BMX, you got McGrath versus prestruct
2:54:35
Speaker 2: like the video game that I was in, and you
2:54:36
Speaker 2: got all of a sudden, every kid coming up, whether
2:54:39
Speaker 2: they're into doing stuff in real life or doing in
2:54:42
Speaker 2: video games. These are names that they're hearing, they're seeing
2:54:44
Speaker 2: it on you know, before YouTube and all this stuff
2:54:47
Speaker 2: takes over, you have you know, basically you have to
2:54:50
Speaker 2: watch TV and when ESPN and NBC are playing these
2:54:54
Speaker 2: like these are household names. It's a great time for
2:54:56
Speaker 2: action sports. People are getting paid all the sudden. It's
2:55:00
Speaker 2: you know, you're making one hundred thousand dollars for which
2:55:02
Speaker 2: I know it's not. It's all you get for the
2:55:04
Speaker 2: whole year is that one thing? But it's you win
2:55:06
Speaker 2: X games, You're doing okay, you know, you're you're you're
2:55:11
Speaker 2: you're sustainable to do what you need to do. That's
2:55:15
Speaker 2: not really the case anymore. You still have these nitro
2:55:18
Speaker 2: circus and stuff that's going around and touring. There's still events,
2:55:20
Speaker 2: there's still X games, but no one's really investing in
2:55:24
Speaker 2: these ramps. So I feel like it's my obligation really
2:55:28
Speaker 2: to the next generation to build these ramps, just to
2:55:31
Speaker 2: see what's possible.
2:55:32
Speaker 3: All right, reader, we interrupt this episode to bring you

2:56:50
Speaker 3: they're into these action sports.
2:56:52
Speaker 2: They do them, but they like team sports man. So
2:56:55
Speaker 2: what if they flip and switch one day and they
2:56:57
Speaker 2: want a career trajectory like their dad. I'm not saying
2:57:05
Speaker 2: it's too late for for my girls to go that direction.
2:57:08
Speaker 2: But there are some very very amazing females coming up
2:57:13
Speaker 2: right now in action sports. And you know it's so
2:57:18
Speaker 2: it's a girl. Hannah Jamison, she just won the She

Speaker 2: living in our house for for a little bit. You know,
2:57:51
Speaker 2: with Olivia Reynolds, that's coming out, and there's so many
2:57:54
Speaker 2: there's race in there. There's so many females right now
2:57:58
Speaker 2: that are so good, not just good for a girl,
2:58:02
Speaker 2: but truly truly going to be the best at what
2:58:06
Speaker 2: they do. And I think with with motocross, there's a
2:58:08
Speaker 2: lot of physical there, but the girls being lighter is
2:58:11
Speaker 2: a huge advantage. I mean, so racing there. Uh you know,
2:58:15
Speaker 2: she was just at the Supercross and they had a
2:58:17
Speaker 2: marine booth and she did twenty eight pull ups. Good
2:58:20
Speaker 2: pull ups. That's a real thing. I mean, they're they're
2:58:27
Speaker 2: working extremely hard and what the one thing that's kind
2:58:33
Speaker 2: of backfired about having so many Olympians and so many
2:58:35
Speaker 2: national champions and so many that are the best, you know,
2:58:38
Speaker 2: drivers and players, even a lot of the Ravens guys
2:58:41
Speaker 2: coming out like Ryan Jensen came out quite a bit
2:58:46
Speaker 2: one of my favorite humans. He savage on the football field. Yeah,
2:58:49
Speaker 2: he's a savage on the side by side. He doesn't
2:58:51
Speaker 2: make it ten feet rolls mover, but he freaking loves him.
2:58:53
Speaker 2: He's great. Sorry sorry Ryan, No, But so my oldest
2:58:58
Speaker 2: daughter kind of want a different direction in my so
2:59:00
Speaker 2: my oldest she's got that gene that I have that
2:59:05
Speaker 2: when she had hits the fan, that's her happy place.
2:59:09
Speaker 2: She's harder to talk into stuff like I wanted to
2:59:11
Speaker 2: do that. But so, for example, hypothetically I put her
2:59:13
Speaker 2: on the front of the motorcycle and we did a
2:59:15
Speaker 2: backflip and she was like yeah, hypothetically, I mean maybe,
2:59:20
Speaker 2: And hypothetically when we right before we took off, she's like, ah,
2:59:25
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, well, we're kind of committed now. So
2:59:27
Speaker 2: we took off and ready to takeoff, she's like, oh,
2:59:30
Speaker 2: oh yeay, and she just calm, cool and collected, like
2:59:33
Speaker 2: as soon as it took off and she felt the trajectory,
2:59:35
Speaker 2: she's like oh, and she just like literally, oh oh yeay,
2:59:39
Speaker 2: just like she jumped off of first bridge, like it's
2:59:42
Speaker 2: only like thirty feet. But when she was and she
2:59:44
Speaker 2: stood up top and she was so worried and she's
2:59:45
Speaker 2: like five years old, and she jumped and halfway down
2:59:48
Speaker 2: she's like, oh, this wasn't so bad, and she has landed.
2:59:51
Speaker 2: She hadn't even landed, but like that, And I know
2:59:54
Speaker 2: this is a long story, but what I'm getting at.
2:59:56
Speaker 2: So we had her on a trampoline. I had stepped
2:59:59
Speaker 2: off the trampoline. A couple of my buddies had jumped
3:00:01
Speaker 2: on and they were somehow she got like quadruple bounce.
3:00:04
Speaker 2: She was going to do a backflip. Like the most
3:00:06
Speaker 2: dangerous thing that I've found is putting people on the
3:00:09
Speaker 2: trampoline that are like your friends, that don't really know
3:00:11
Speaker 2: how to do the trampoline, and that are heavier. And
3:00:14
Speaker 2: she got quadruple bounced on just doing a backflip and
3:00:18
Speaker 2: her legs buckle and she's in the air. So she
3:00:21
Speaker 2: had never done a double, but she was in the air.
3:00:23
Speaker 2: She was over rotating a single. She did a half
3:00:25
Speaker 2: rotation just to see the ground and then she tucked
3:00:28
Speaker 2: a front flip and then rotated to her back and landed.
3:00:32
Speaker 2: And my other daughter, who now is you know, she
3:00:36
Speaker 2: was level six cheer, which is the top level you
3:00:39
Speaker 2: could be, you know, when she was ten years old,
3:00:41
Speaker 2: which is very young for being in that level. And
3:00:45
Speaker 2: she's she listens much better, she works much harder, she's training,
3:00:51
Speaker 2: she's doing all the things like, but she doesn't have
3:00:54
Speaker 2: like when she gets scared, she blinks. My other daughter
3:00:57
Speaker 2: doesn't have any of the training thing, and it backfire
3:01:00
Speaker 2: because she's basically seen how hard all of these people
3:01:03
Speaker 2: work and how many times they're injured and what they
3:01:05
Speaker 2: push through. She's like, I really don't think I want
3:01:08
Speaker 2: to be the best at any of the sports that
3:01:10
Speaker 2: you guys, like, it looks like a lot of pain
3:01:11
Speaker 2: and a lot of work, and like a lot of
3:01:14
Speaker 2: you really aren't making much money doing it. Like She's like,
3:01:17
Speaker 2: I feel like you could work half the hours, none
3:01:20
Speaker 2: of the pain at any job you're doing and make
3:01:23
Speaker 2: more money. I'm like, you know you're not wrong, right,
3:01:27
Speaker 2: but you know, like so that passion is It's interesting
3:01:30
Speaker 2: to see what my oldest do. I feel like, has
3:01:34
Speaker 2: that gene that could be action sports? That is like
3:01:37
Speaker 2: when she hits the fan, figures stuff out and just
3:01:41
Speaker 2: doesn't ever panic.
3:01:42
Speaker 3: Would you want her to know? Like want that life.
3:01:47
Speaker 2: I wish that my daughter's enjoyed riding more because we
3:01:52
Speaker 2: have this facility and so many times people are over
3:01:56
Speaker 2: the house and they like to show off, Like my
3:02:00
Speaker 2: the oldest starter that you see there, Addie. You know
3:02:03
Speaker 2: when she was seven, she wanted to be part of
3:02:05
Speaker 2: Jim Conna. Jim Conna Ken Block was. You know he
3:02:09
Speaker 2: passed away a few years ago. Great inspiration, great friend,
3:02:14
Speaker 2: great rival, great teammate, someone that he built up everyone
3:02:18
Speaker 2: around him so that when he beat us, he was beating.
3:02:22
Speaker 2: But he realized what it took to build a brand.
3:02:24
Speaker 2: He built DC Shoes, sold it for forty million or whatever,
3:02:28
Speaker 2: and then put everything back into Indo Rally. But long
3:02:32
Speaker 2: story long, he gave me an opportunity to do jim Conna.
3:02:35
Speaker 2: My wife multiple time XMS Gold Medals and stuff was
3:02:38
Speaker 2: in jim Conna. I did jim Conna at the in Maryland,
3:02:41
Speaker 2: shut down the streets. It was freaking awesome. Such a
3:02:44
Speaker 2: cool experience to be able to do this awesome car.
3:02:47
Speaker 2: Awesome location ended at Pastrana Land and then my youngest
3:02:51
Speaker 2: daughter was real little and she was doing donuts and
3:02:53
Speaker 2: the producer saw it and he was like, oh, dude,
3:02:56
Speaker 2: we're gonna put you in the credits. So my oldest
3:02:58
Speaker 2: was like, well, why am I not in the film.
3:03:00
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, your younger sister just got lucky and
3:03:04
Speaker 2: was doing something while they were filming, and your mom like,
3:03:06
Speaker 2: she's earned that spot, and she's like, well, what can
3:03:08
Speaker 2: I do? Like, well, we got about three weeks before
3:03:10
Speaker 2: they're done editing. I was like, let's think about it.
3:03:13
Speaker 2: Do you want to Like, it has to be driving,
3:03:14
Speaker 2: it has to involve a super She's like, well, can
3:03:17
Speaker 2: I jump a canam over a subrou and this is
3:03:19
Speaker 2: her like literally your seventh birthday, so she's pretty young.
3:03:21
Speaker 2: At the time, I was like, that's a that's a
3:03:25
Speaker 2: pretty good thing. That would be really cool. So we
3:03:28
Speaker 2: had where Lindsay drove a Subaru underneath and my seven
3:03:30
Speaker 2: year old daughter jumped a gap over top of my
3:03:33
Speaker 2: wife while she was driving, and that made the credits
3:03:36
Speaker 2: of video. And that was probably the most dedicated she
3:03:39
Speaker 2: ever was to driving. But other than that, she can drive.
3:03:42
Speaker 2: She does drive, but would prefer team sports. Yeah, you
3:03:46
Speaker 2: prefer team sports. Oh, I do love that.
3:03:49
Speaker 6: You just your kid asked you if she couldn't jump
3:03:51
Speaker 6: a canam and you're like, how do we want to
3:03:54
Speaker 6: jump this canam?
3:03:55
Speaker 2: It's got to be a super Is that a picture
3:03:59
Speaker 2: right there? How do you find this stuff?
3:04:00
Speaker 3: He's a wizard man.
3:04:02
Speaker 2: Oh, that's not it.
3:04:06
Speaker 7: My dad wanted me to ask you this about your
3:04:08
Speaker 7: indoor track in the basement.
3:04:10
Speaker 8: Is that still a thing?
3:04:11
Speaker 7: Did you have an indoor track underground?
3:04:15
Speaker 2: So it's in our shop? Yeah, that's uh, a lot
3:04:21
Speaker 2: of stories. I can't I can't mention in that, but yeah,
3:04:23
Speaker 2: it's been a lot of fun. We actually, instead of
3:04:26
Speaker 2: patting the walls, we just put metal plates because people
3:04:30
Speaker 2: kept going through them. So it's safety.
3:04:32
Speaker 3: Third.
3:04:32
Speaker 2: But the walls now stand up, so it's good.
3:04:34
Speaker 6: That's good, that's awesome. We we did mention the triple backflip. Hell,
3:04:39
Speaker 6: it sounds like it's on the bucket list. Sounds like
3:04:41
Speaker 6: we're gonna be a triple backflip out of you before.
3:04:43
Speaker 3: It's a bucket list. Sounds like it's never ending. Yeah,
3:04:46
Speaker 3: well is there? That's how it is for all men. Right,
3:04:49
Speaker 3: you reach a goal, you move the goalpost. What's next?
3:04:51
Speaker 2: What can I do for you? I don't know if
3:04:53
Speaker 2: that's what's but this is my daughter at seven. It's
3:04:55
Speaker 2: not like, not too big of a jump. But she
3:04:57
Speaker 2: took my wife for a ride there and and uh,
3:05:00
Speaker 2: but all she wanted to do was these gaps. That's
3:05:02
Speaker 2: actually not a great angle because you can't see the
3:05:05
Speaker 2: what she's actually jumping over. But but yeah, so Lindsay
3:05:08
Speaker 2: was not excited about this because I really didn't say
3:05:11
Speaker 2: much to to not that we keep Lindsay out of
3:05:13
Speaker 2: the loop. She's she's great. But yeah, so I made
3:05:16
Speaker 2: shut it down.
3:05:17
Speaker 6: No better to ask for forgiveness.
3:05:21
Speaker 2: You could see. I mean so at you know, a
3:05:23
Speaker 2: seven year old ramp jump. Oh yeah, you know, so
3:05:26
Speaker 2: I made my wife then drive with her. She was like,
3:05:30
Speaker 2: I thought I had a lot more year. So that
3:05:32
Speaker 2: was the that was for the video there that go
3:05:33
Speaker 2: back a picture.
3:05:34
Speaker 3: That's what she went over. Scoot back.
3:05:37
Speaker 2: Oh it's a it's not a picture, but yeah, so
3:05:39
Speaker 2: you know, so yeah it's I mean, it's a first
3:05:41
Speaker 2: seven year old is a I thought it was funny.
3:05:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's nuts. But okay, tribble backflips in we're
3:05:52
Speaker 6: doing the dribble backflip. Can't wait to be there when
3:05:54
Speaker 6: you do it live. Also, let's break down the double backflip.
3:05:57
Speaker 6: So we all everyone's talking about it. You do it
3:06:00
Speaker 6: at the X Games. You got the flannelong with the
3:06:02
Speaker 6: with the what was it football pats with those football pads.
3:06:06
Speaker 2: I had lacrosse pads. I was.
3:06:08
Speaker 6: I was really was full in, man fully fully bought in.
3:06:12
Speaker 6: How did we decide that it's possible. How did the
3:06:15
Speaker 6: practice go? Because I know it was on Nitro Circus
3:06:17
Speaker 6: when you did off the was it a step up?
3:06:19
Speaker 6: You did it on Did it a step Up? Spokane, Washington?
3:06:23
Speaker 6: Sandy Landing broke my foot on the first one.
3:06:27
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I can't quit. Now that wasn't
3:06:29
Speaker 2: I didn't didn't ride it out. But so what's interesting
3:06:32
Speaker 2: about this? Uh see that takeoff right there. We're just
3:06:35
Speaker 2: putting it up on a bunch of four by fours,
3:06:38
Speaker 2: and you know, it's.
3:06:39
Speaker 6: Like, look how many people are there when you're talking
3:06:41
Speaker 6: about like early two thousands. It is like the mecca
3:06:44
Speaker 6: of this of this world.
3:06:45
Speaker 2: It like it really was. This was the first event
3:06:49
Speaker 2: that I still it's really cool now we're especially working
3:06:51
Speaker 2: with black rifle. I hear so many veterans. I was
3:06:53
Speaker 2: stationed tier, I was there, and you know, military didn't
3:06:56
Speaker 2: have a lot of stations, and they all seem to
3:06:59
Speaker 2: have this live and to for so many people, especially
3:07:03
Speaker 2: those like fighting for our freedoms, to be able to
3:07:05
Speaker 2: like to have a moment like there's so many moments
3:07:09
Speaker 2: that are big for me, You're big for you that
3:07:10
Speaker 2: in our life that were like, dude, that was a
3:07:12
Speaker 2: huge moment. But this moment was one that my grandma
3:07:17
Speaker 2: was watching live, my friends were watching if they weren't there,
3:07:20
Speaker 2: this was on live television, and there was reporters that
3:07:23
Speaker 2: I mean, my mom honestly probably made it better, made
3:07:25
Speaker 2: it more real. But I never wanted to shake a
3:07:28
Speaker 2: reporter so much in my entire life as they this
3:07:31
Speaker 2: lady went up to my mom and was like, your
3:07:33
Speaker 2: son could die today. How does that make you feel
3:07:35
Speaker 2: about being a mom? I'm like, that's crazy. Wait but
3:07:38
Speaker 2: you can't. You can't do that.
3:07:40
Speaker 3: No but fair.
3:07:45
Speaker 2: So my mom didn't an she just broke down bawling
3:07:47
Speaker 2: on national television. So like it got, it got a
3:07:50
Speaker 2: bigger audience, like and it was Honestly, it made this
3:07:53
Speaker 2: moment where everyone that you could hear Pin drop before
3:07:56
Speaker 2: I dropped in, and you know even for the Staples Center,
3:07:58
Speaker 2: I mean you get the Lakers that play there, it
3:08:00
Speaker 2: made they had a like vote. Basically it was number
3:08:03
Speaker 2: two biggest moment all the playoff games, all the everything,
3:08:06
Speaker 2: like for for that stadium. I had my heroes that
3:08:10
Speaker 2: were about to drop in. You had Chad Kegy, Kevin Robinson.
3:08:14
Speaker 2: They were actually holding hands like which is kind of weird,
3:08:17
Speaker 2: but like that that's that moment, like they were literally
3:08:21
Speaker 2: about to do something. They were both trying double flares
3:08:23
Speaker 2: on BMX never been done before. I think Kevin Robinson
3:08:26
Speaker 2: landed at that day waiting for our competition to finish
3:08:30
Speaker 2: so they could do theirs. Watching this, I mean, sal masekela,
3:08:33
Speaker 2: like everybody just waiting for this moment. And when it
3:08:37
Speaker 2: when I landed that it was cool because the entire
3:08:40
Speaker 2: stadium just erupted and the first person to me was
3:08:42
Speaker 2: actually just a drunk guy and I didn't know, so
3:08:44
Speaker 2: it's pretty Yeah. Yeah, so you're this is not too
3:08:48
Speaker 2: much longer. So I go running up here and yeah,
3:08:51
Speaker 2: well so these are these are most of my friends
3:08:53
Speaker 2: down here. I went to the top through a guy
3:08:55
Speaker 2: with us, so pumped.
3:08:56
Speaker 3: What is this feeling like? Man?
3:08:58
Speaker 2: Well, I was just having to be alive, to be
3:08:59
Speaker 2: perfectly honest on that one. So you can kind of
3:09:03
Speaker 2: see see the lights if you reverse a little bit.
3:09:05
Speaker 2: So I was about ten feet higher than I mean,
3:09:08
Speaker 2: there are are good ways up. They're probably, you know,
3:09:10
Speaker 2: six feet above where I was there, but they're lower
3:09:14
Speaker 2: to for camera angles, and I'm right there. I came
3:09:16
Speaker 2: around and I spotted the lights and it kind of
3:09:19
Speaker 2: threw me off a little because I was and now
3:09:22
Speaker 2: the landing is not made for going that high, so
3:09:24
Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff that just it's just not right.
3:09:26
Speaker 2: But I was like, well, I can do it. I've
3:09:28
Speaker 2: worked for this. I'm six for ten in the in
3:09:32
Speaker 2: the phone pit, like where it would ride out and
3:09:35
Speaker 2: maybe eight for ten. Then I wouldn't completely break my back,
3:09:39
Speaker 2: you know, on this. But the landing's flat and hard packed,
3:09:41
Speaker 2: so if you land anywhere not perfect, you're gonna slam down.
3:09:44
Speaker 2: And I spotted the lights and I thought, oh, I
3:09:48
Speaker 2: I just stopped my rotation. It was like I just
3:09:50
Speaker 2: killed myself. Yeah, that's it sucks because everything, you know,
3:09:54
Speaker 2: all things slow down, right imagine that moment right there.
3:09:58
Speaker 2: I've never had it slow down before the takeoff, but
3:10:00
Speaker 2: I could tell you. I remember from when RAVI, the
3:10:05
Speaker 2: guy that was dropping me in right there, he's like hey,
3:10:07
Speaker 2: because I was about to go, and he's like hey, commercial.
3:10:09
Speaker 3: Break, Like, oh they just iced you, dude, dude.
3:10:16
Speaker 2: So I turned the bike off and I kind of
3:10:18
Speaker 2: get yeah exactly, and I get refired up and he's like, dude,
3:10:22
Speaker 2: moment yours whenever you're ready. And I just remember that
3:10:25
Speaker 2: and I drop in and I come to the conclusion.
3:10:29
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, I'm sitting third. So I already
3:10:31
Speaker 2: got got a bronze medal. I mean, no, get podium,
3:10:34
Speaker 2: get podium. And the next day I'm currently a tenth
3:10:38
Speaker 2: of a second behind Colin McCrae, who is my all
3:10:41
Speaker 2: time rally hero like legend racing in the US on
3:10:46
Speaker 2: my team Subaru, which I'm trying to go from there,
3:10:49
Speaker 2: and I never want a big national championship race yet
3:10:53
Speaker 2: and here I am have a chance to beat Colin
3:10:55
Speaker 2: McCray ken blocks and third, taner foustand fourth like guys
3:10:59
Speaker 2: that if you know rally like I wasn't didn't think
3:11:03
Speaker 2: I was going to be there, and we get a
3:11:04
Speaker 2: chance to win xigans the next day, and then I
3:11:07
Speaker 2: had my best event, which was freestyle motocross after that,
3:11:10
Speaker 2: so I've got this event. I'm like, I'm already locked in.
3:11:12
Speaker 2: I've got a potential gold. And then not getting hurt
3:11:15
Speaker 2: in front of the boss of Super Hu and Caliner
3:11:17
Speaker 2: Craye in the stands, that's what turned it around. I
3:11:20
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, forget it. I got a
3:11:22
Speaker 2: chance to maybe beat him tomorrow, but he's I got
3:11:24
Speaker 2: a chance to not be a sissy right now. And
3:11:26
Speaker 2: when I dropped in time, I don't know if you
3:11:29
Speaker 2: ever like I did a lot of research and reading
3:11:31
Speaker 2: after this. I'm like, like Ecker TOLDI and all this
3:11:33
Speaker 2: stupid stuff about like why the perception of time changes.
3:11:37
Speaker 2: But I was so nervous. Well, I guess they call
3:11:39
Speaker 2: it being in the zone or whatever you call it.
3:11:42
Speaker 2: That was slow. How this goes right there? That's how
3:11:44
Speaker 2: I felt. I still remember the smells, I remember the sounds,
3:11:47
Speaker 2: I remember the people in the stands. I remember where
3:11:49
Speaker 2: my buddies were as I dropped in. Like body took
3:11:52
Speaker 2: every image before that and all the way through it.
3:11:55
Speaker 2: It was really cool because usually that only happens when
3:11:58
Speaker 2: you're really about to get hurt, and I thought I was,
3:12:00
Speaker 2: but like it worked. Yeah, you land.
3:12:05
Speaker 15: You.
3:12:07
Speaker 6: I know you're a referencing read Unlocking Superman. Yes, that book,
3:12:11
Speaker 6: because when you're I read that book when they brought
3:12:13
Speaker 6: you up, I was like, oh fuck yeah. But it's
3:12:16
Speaker 6: referencing all the things you're talking about, Like being so
3:12:18
Speaker 6: solely just truly present in a moment you remember and
3:12:21
Speaker 6: see everything. That's awesome because this this dude people talk
3:12:24
Speaker 6: about where they were. I was at Laura Shockley's house
3:12:27
Speaker 6: watching that with her dad, Laura shock who's my girlfriend
3:12:30
Speaker 6: when I was fifteen. I remember just sitting there and
3:12:32
Speaker 6: being like, Yo, this is fucking wrote. Eli rode my
3:12:39
Speaker 6: dirt bike to her house to watch this with her dad. Yeah,
3:12:43
Speaker 6: you're not making this up, I swear to god.
3:12:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:12:45
Speaker 6: I was on she was on like sixty fourth and
3:12:47
Speaker 6: Dynamite Street. I was on fifty third and I would
3:12:50
Speaker 6: ride my dirt bike. Would I would ride my dirt
3:12:52
Speaker 6: bike all over the place because there was state land
3:12:53
Speaker 6: all around us.
3:12:54
Speaker 2: How tall were you at this point?
3:12:55
Speaker 6: I'm about this tall. I was like right around that
3:12:57
Speaker 6: six five six six range, And like you were, Are
3:13:00
Speaker 6: you like the tallest freestyle motocross rider?
3:13:02
Speaker 2: Yes, six is don't last.
3:13:07
Speaker 6: And I was like, I'm the next Travis Pastrana because I'm.
3:13:10
Speaker 3: Yaylor told me he would make his buddies call him
3:13:12
Speaker 3: Taylor Perstana.
3:13:16
Speaker 2: Oh that's embarrassing because it almost sounds like it's true.
3:13:21
Speaker 6: But dude, Yeah, I would just ride my dirt bike
3:13:23
Speaker 6: around and I would fucking police would come get behind me,
3:13:25
Speaker 6: and I would just ride into the state land. I'm
3:13:27
Speaker 6: like Tatums, I'm fucking him. I can get away with
3:13:30
Speaker 6: anything around here. But yes, everyone remembers that moment. Will
3:13:33
Speaker 6: remembers that moment.
3:13:34
Speaker 3: It was awesome. Time stopped.
3:13:39
Speaker 6: How does I know we talked about the rivalries a
3:13:41
Speaker 6: little bit. You talked about having robberies that you appreciate
3:13:44
Speaker 6: and like and it was awesome. Was there ever like
3:13:47
Speaker 6: a rival where you were like, nah, dude, fuck this guy.
3:13:50
Speaker 2: Is there one where you still Yeah, he was hoping
3:13:54
Speaker 2: to be.
3:13:54
Speaker 6: Brian Deagan, But I think Brian Degan's a good guy.
3:13:58
Speaker 2: But also just standing up there though when he was.
3:14:03
Speaker 6: And then also how dumb was Winter X Games for
3:14:05
Speaker 6: you guys to have to jump on ice?
3:14:07
Speaker 2: I didn't do it. Yeah, it was never went really
3:14:10
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunity to make money and do stuff. No,
3:14:12
Speaker 2: no shot, not not getting me.
3:14:14
Speaker 3: In the cold.
3:14:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did a horrible job of getting you off
3:14:17
Speaker 6: of the rivalry thing. But let's get back to that.
3:14:19
Speaker 6: Who was like the rival you were like a show.
3:14:22
Speaker 2: I got to show this guy and I not to
3:14:24
Speaker 2: be disrespectful in any way shape from him anyone that's
3:14:27
Speaker 2: making a living doing what they love to do. But
3:14:29
Speaker 2: so Brian might have been able to make it as
3:14:31
Speaker 2: a racer, but his mentality, he wasn't going to ride
3:14:36
Speaker 2: for a factory Suzuki or Honda. Like he just had
3:14:39
Speaker 2: too much of that middle finger in the air, like
3:14:42
Speaker 2: he kind of started his freestyle. He worked hard, but
3:14:46
Speaker 2: he was too much of the party image, Like there
3:14:49
Speaker 2: was a big divide between racing and freestyle, and he
3:14:52
Speaker 2: was taking this and he found a way to be
3:14:56
Speaker 2: that embodied that freestyle movement. But he didn't take it
3:15:01
Speaker 2: as seriously. I mean he took it seriously. I'd say
3:15:04
Speaker 2: he probably takes it more seriously.
3:15:05
Speaker 14: Now.
3:15:07
Speaker 2: You know, he's an amazing car driver, Like we still
3:15:10
Speaker 2: battle all the time on four wheels. He's awesome off
3:15:14
Speaker 2: road trucks. He's he's won the Freedom five hundred, which
3:15:17
Speaker 2: we'll talk. I want to talk to you guys about
3:15:19
Speaker 2: the two point four hours of the mullet at some point.
3:15:21
Speaker 2: I know you just don't know what it is, but
3:15:23
Speaker 2: you guys have to do it. So Brian, like he
3:15:27
Speaker 2: does work extremely hard, but on a motorcycle, he was
3:15:31
Speaker 2: better at being a showman and understanding how to be
3:15:36
Speaker 2: a business an entrepreneur. So a route that I would
3:15:40
Speaker 2: never ever go. But he saw me coming up straight
3:15:43
Speaker 2: a student, graduate high school at fifteen, just clean cut
3:15:49
Speaker 2: American kid. That's kind of how that was always, And
3:15:51
Speaker 2: I was unknowingly building the sport. It was like good
3:15:55
Speaker 2: versus evil, And he went into that metal militia world
3:15:58
Speaker 2: domination par already like don't anti establishment, so he like
3:16:03
Speaker 2: nWo yeah, like in that that timeframe, and he got
3:16:07
Speaker 2: huge audience at that Inland Empire, southern California, like everybody
3:16:12
Speaker 2: that wanted, like the cool guys were part of that.
3:16:14
Speaker 2: And I was just this dork that wanted to ride
3:16:16
Speaker 2: dirt bikes that was pretty good at it, but I
3:16:19
Speaker 2: was bred to be a racer kind of, and I
3:16:21
Speaker 2: was just doing freestyle for fun. So Brian Degan like
3:16:24
Speaker 2: one year we were going into gravity games. So it's
3:16:27
Speaker 2: on NBC, Like when you know NBC is it's huge.
3:16:30
Speaker 2: Everyone no one has the Internet, everyone's watching TV. And
3:16:34
Speaker 2: he's like told the guys, He's like, I got the
3:16:35
Speaker 2: biggest tricks. He didn't show anyone anything biggest tricks. I'm
3:16:37
Speaker 2: gonna dominate. I'm gonna viude everything on me. And he
3:16:40
Speaker 2: goes out and picks a fight with the police officer
3:16:42
Speaker 2: the day before he could post bail. He doesn't doesn't
3:16:45
Speaker 2: post bail, intentionally gets in a fight. Not bad, just
3:16:48
Speaker 2: like altercation, goes to jail, doesn't post bail, And the
3:16:52
Speaker 2: whole broadcast on NBC was about the man holding Brian
3:16:56
Speaker 2: Deagan down. Deacon didn't have a trick. He'd have nothing.
3:16:58
Speaker 2: I win the event, nobody cares. E was all. Degan
3:17:01
Speaker 2: would have smoked you. Degan would have been no shit
3:17:04
Speaker 2: he promoted that's crazy. No, he was within the game. Yeah,
3:17:10
Speaker 2: but no, I mean he was. He was good and
3:17:12
Speaker 2: he worked harder than he ever let on. He had
3:17:15
Speaker 2: this image that he didn't care that he like he
3:17:17
Speaker 2: he put his and he put his his body on
3:17:19
Speaker 2: the line like Winter X Games. He knew he wasn't
3:17:22
Speaker 2: gonna he knew that, Yeah, three sixty wasn't gonna work,
3:17:24
Speaker 2: and he wasn't. He was kind of a half assed attempt.
3:17:26
Speaker 2: But he's like, right there, almost killed him. I mean,
3:17:29
Speaker 2: this guy's almost died more than I've also run that clip.
3:17:33
Speaker 6: You got that because they he broke his femur on
3:17:36
Speaker 6: this trick, right.
3:17:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's ice, like you gotta think your your
3:17:39
Speaker 2: hands aren't working, the bikes aren't working, you got spikes
3:17:42
Speaker 2: in the tires, you got like it's just And I
3:17:44
Speaker 2: was raising Supercross too at this time, so I'm like,
3:17:46
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not going I'm not skipping around to Supercross
3:17:49
Speaker 2: to go pretend that I like to play in the snow. Yeah, yeah,
3:17:54
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, you guys got to play wherever
3:17:55
Speaker 2: you're playing, and it's cold in a lot of places,
3:17:57
Speaker 2: but I would have been that Tampa Bay here going yeah,
3:18:00
Speaker 2: I just we.
3:18:01
Speaker 3: Just got to brainwash ourselves in Saint's football weather y.
3:18:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you wear no sleeves on purpose the whole time.
3:18:07
Speaker 6: But yeah, I like even as a kid watching the
3:18:09
Speaker 6: Winter X Games and be like, oh, it hyped me
3:18:11
Speaker 6: up because dirt bikes were in it.
3:18:13
Speaker 2: But see these guys like he wasn't gonna make that.
3:18:16
Speaker 2: There was no like I'm sorry. He took off like evil.
3:18:21
Speaker 2: He took off like evil Knievel and he's like, look
3:18:24
Speaker 2: because he hadn't won a couple events, and he's like,
3:18:27
Speaker 2: all right, I need like I either need to land
3:18:30
Speaker 2: this or I need to try it and freaking go
3:18:32
Speaker 2: down swinging. And he wasn't afraid to send it.
3:18:34
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna yeah. But like to say, it's a
3:18:36
Speaker 6: half assed attempt to like, how do you half ask
3:18:39
Speaker 6: an attempt that's essentially going to hospitalize you.
3:18:42
Speaker 2: Oh no, he didn't half asked. But you're not making,
3:18:44
Speaker 2: dude a three sixty over a ninety foot ice gap.
3:18:47
Speaker 2: It ain't happening. I mean maybe now today with with
3:18:50
Speaker 2: the Stark with the electric bikes. You love those electric bikes.
3:18:54
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see you do the triple backlip
3:18:56
Speaker 2: on it, dude, some time out.
3:18:57
Speaker 3: Who's your rivalry? Who's your rival someone you had actual
3:19:03
Speaker 3: beef with? They were all my friends? No, no, but
3:19:07
Speaker 3: I mean, like, think about this, Chad Reid, Like I
3:19:12
Speaker 3: almost I went down a train with Chad Reid and
3:19:18
Speaker 3: I had no business bet and Chad Reid, who's he's
3:19:20
Speaker 3: pretty fit guy road cycling. I was not that great
3:19:24
Speaker 3: of a road cyclist. I talked so much crapped that
3:19:27
Speaker 3: there was no way I was gonna lose. And I
3:19:28
Speaker 3: got out with about So we were going on a
3:19:30
Speaker 3: twenty five mile bike ride. Did average heart rate.
3:19:33
Speaker 2: One ninety five, just like go from And they had
3:19:37
Speaker 2: already warmed up before I got there, and he was
3:19:39
Speaker 2: with Alden Baker, who was his trainer at the time.
3:19:41
Speaker 2: So when I showed up, they just took off in
3:19:43
Speaker 2: a full sprint and we're going I'm just trying to
3:19:45
Speaker 2: hang on. So I finally like, they're like, oh, you're
3:19:47
Speaker 2: not going to take a pole. So I finally took
3:19:49
Speaker 2: a poll. They dropped back. Chad Florida freeways basically, but
3:19:54
Speaker 2: single lane roads on each side. He drops back thought,
3:19:57
Speaker 2: gets in front of a semi truck, big truck, and
3:20:01
Speaker 2: the trucks like beeping his horn and like barely almost
3:20:03
Speaker 2: run them over. He gets in behind on the draft,
3:20:05
Speaker 2: passes me at fifty five miles an hour. Stayed in
3:20:08
Speaker 2: that draft for a long time. So I the school
3:20:11
Speaker 2: bus coming up next. I do the same thing with
3:20:13
Speaker 2: the school bus. We're slowing down cars on a freeway,
3:20:17
Speaker 2: getting behind and drafting vehicles for as long as we
3:20:20
Speaker 2: possibly can almost get When they said Chad Reed got
3:20:23
Speaker 2: run over by a car in Australia and on a
3:20:25
Speaker 2: road bike ride, and one's like, oh, it's hard to believe,
3:20:27
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it's amazing. He's not dead yet by this.
3:20:30
Speaker 2: But imagine that someone that's so competitive they would risk
3:20:33
Speaker 2: getting run over on a freeway to win a dollar
3:20:37
Speaker 2: bet off of their friend. Those are the people that
3:20:40
Speaker 2: I liked. I liked talking crap on the starting line.
3:20:43
Speaker 2: I liked like, but I like people that could take
3:20:45
Speaker 2: it too. So I always wanted to dislike people more
3:20:49
Speaker 2: because with racing a lot of times you got to
3:20:51
Speaker 2: get to make it up. Yeah, like there was definitely
3:20:53
Speaker 2: like I I mean I called Carmichael a weeble wobble
3:20:59
Speaker 2: and got the entire stadium booing him just so he
3:21:02
Speaker 2: would hate me enough that I would have more of
3:21:05
Speaker 2: a reason to try to be more motivated to beat him.
3:21:08
Speaker 2: So yeah, I was, I probably, I mean Carmichael was
3:21:11
Speaker 2: always better than me. I had one year in two
3:21:15
Speaker 2: thousand and two that I think we could have won
3:21:17
Speaker 2: the championship and ended up with epstein Bar and Parvo,
3:21:20
Speaker 2: and I got sick and I just didn't stop training.
3:21:23
Speaker 2: So the marine mentality did not walk work through that one.
3:21:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, you.
3:21:29
Speaker 1: Staid talking like you you wanted to talk shit to
3:21:31
Speaker 1: your like competitors and stuff. What do you think of
3:21:33
Speaker 1: Hayden Digan love it than the way he's kind of
3:21:36
Speaker 1: going about it going into the four fifties.
3:21:38
Speaker 2: I mean it was pretty much next level when you've
3:21:41
Speaker 2: never run a four to fifty race and you take
3:21:43
Speaker 2: the best maybe the probably the best guy in the
3:21:46
Speaker 2: world with Jet Lawrence. I know Jet's coming off injury.
3:21:48
Speaker 2: That said, but Hayden put on his shirt like I'm
3:21:51
Speaker 2: going to steal your girlfriend and then had I love
3:21:54
Speaker 2: whatever his girlfriend's name is, and took a picture like, well,
3:21:58
Speaker 2: you know, like gold chains and ferrari and it flees flashy.
3:22:03
Speaker 2: But what I like now Grant DEEG and I not
3:22:09
Speaker 2: real friends, but much respect. We do a lot of
3:22:11
Speaker 2: stuff kind of together. And you know he built a
3:22:14
Speaker 2: sport unknowning to me, good verst evil and that that
3:22:17
Speaker 2: freestyle really started and really built that rivalry up, which
3:22:20
Speaker 2: really cool. Danger boy. He talked crap at every single round,
3:22:26
Speaker 2: put down his competitors said, you know, to try to
3:22:31
Speaker 2: get someone to do something. Every one of his competitors
3:22:34
Speaker 2: wanted to knock him down. They didn't touch him, they
3:22:36
Speaker 2: didn't get near him, and they wanted to He got
3:22:40
Speaker 2: the best out of him, and he was that much
3:22:42
Speaker 2: better and on the on the podium, so which you
3:22:44
Speaker 2: guys might not know, Like I ran an average art
3:22:46
Speaker 2: rate between two hundred and two hundred and five between adrenaline,
3:22:50
Speaker 2: holding your breath, whoops whatever. In supercross outdoor nationals, you
3:22:54
Speaker 2: might be one sixty five average art rate, it's still
3:22:56
Speaker 2: pretty high, but supercross it is. The intensity is insane.
3:23:01
Speaker 2: And when Hayden, I don't care what you say you do,
3:23:04
Speaker 2: I don't care what you act like you do. He
3:23:06
Speaker 2: steps off that bike after racing a Supercross, puts his
3:23:10
Speaker 2: hat on, not sweating, talking normal. That kid trains, That
3:23:16
Speaker 2: kid puts in the time, he puts in the effort,
3:23:18
Speaker 2: and whether you like it or hate it, he has
3:23:20
Speaker 2: added so much hype to the sport. I think Jet
3:23:24
Speaker 2: Lawrence did a fantastic job as well, like it brought.
3:23:27
Speaker 2: I mean, my daughter's friends all watch Supercross because of
3:23:32
Speaker 2: you know, either Jet Lawrence or Hayden Degan, and that
3:23:34
Speaker 2: they've stepped outside of that. They did what McGrath did
3:23:37
Speaker 2: back in the late nineties. You know, they stepped outside
3:23:40
Speaker 2: of the realm of what our sport normally gets and
3:23:43
Speaker 2: they put it in mainstream. I think it's awesome.
3:23:46
Speaker 3: Okay.
3:23:46
Speaker 6: What I love about Travis right now is like we're
3:23:49
Speaker 6: trying to poke and pry about stuff and he's like,
3:23:52
Speaker 6: everyone's awesome. We're not necessarily friends, but rivals much respect
3:23:56
Speaker 6: well trained, just just a likable guy.
3:24:00
Speaker 3: You listen to him and it just seems like, yeah,
3:24:02
Speaker 3: he's he's psychotic and like a good nature genuinely like
3:24:06
Speaker 3: loves talking ship but he just wants his boys to
3:24:08
Speaker 3: like talk ship back and they both just get their
3:24:10
Speaker 3: heart rates up to two twenty and try and die
3:24:12
Speaker 3: and then it's like, yeah, we're boys.
3:24:16
Speaker 6: Just looking for a one dollar every single day. That'll
3:24:19
Speaker 6: almost kill you.
3:24:20
Speaker 2: Get you going. Talking to the military guys in a
3:24:23
Speaker 2: slightly different way, but you know, they're like every time
3:24:25
Speaker 2: I walk into a gas station in the middle of
3:24:27
Speaker 2: somewhere that looks a little sketchy, I just I hope
3:24:29
Speaker 2: someone's gonna pull a gun or I just ready to go.
3:24:33
Speaker 2: That's not I'm not right.
3:24:35
Speaker 3: It's like it's like, for you know, a tamer level,
3:24:38
Speaker 3: it's like wrestlers in a bar. They just want somebody
3:24:40
Speaker 3: to look at them wrong so they can fucking wrestle
3:24:42
Speaker 3: fight them. This relax, buddy, Just different different folks. You know,
3:24:46
Speaker 3: have anybody that hated you?
3:24:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. You're just prying more because they're
3:24:54
Speaker 2: all competing, you know what I mean, like the where
3:24:56
Speaker 2: you're seeing them on TV or you're watching them the
3:24:58
Speaker 2: Racing four the heat before. Deagan always hated me, but
3:25:02
Speaker 2: he was always really good and hello miss pastronomous besture,
3:25:04
Speaker 2: and he was smart, like he had respect. But I mean,
3:25:07
Speaker 2: you gotta think, so Degan comes in, I'm at fifteen
3:25:11
Speaker 2: years old, I got a full Factory Ride. I'm on
3:25:14
Speaker 2: the team that he could never get on, despite him
3:25:17
Speaker 2: winning races and doing whatever, he just didn't fit the mold.
3:25:20
Speaker 2: And here I am winning that. We have the first
3:25:22
Speaker 2: ever freestyle World Championship. I'm fourteen years old and I win.
3:25:27
Speaker 2: You know, I'm getting the sponsors that his livelihood depends
3:25:31
Speaker 2: on this and I'm coming in at fourteen. Yeah, like
3:25:33
Speaker 2: we didn't have much. It was helping us a lot.
3:25:35
Speaker 2: But like as a kid, I didn't know money, I
3:25:38
Speaker 2: didn't know any I'm just doing what I love to do.
3:25:39
Speaker 2: And that was pretty irritating for a lot of the
3:25:42
Speaker 2: guys that are, you know, working a full time job
3:25:44
Speaker 2: and trying to figure out how to get to the
3:25:45
Speaker 2: races and get to whatever. And I'm a kid just
3:25:48
Speaker 2: having fun and kind of had you know, parents put
3:25:51
Speaker 2: in everything in sacrifice. But just yeh, I was good
3:25:54
Speaker 2: enough at that time in the amateur career when McGrath
3:25:57
Speaker 2: had built up the sport so much. Having said that,
3:25:59
Speaker 2: Grant Langston, so this started back in so he's South
3:26:02
Speaker 2: African at the time, World champion Greg Albertin comes over
3:26:06
Speaker 2: to my team, wins the national championship. So my first year,
3:26:09
Speaker 2: the number one guy was Greg albertin his so I'm
3:26:13
Speaker 2: on his team, but his protege is Grant Langston. Again,
3:26:16
Speaker 2: Grant Langston goes over, wins the World championship. Same thing
3:26:20
Speaker 2: that the year after, Chad Reid wins it. What I
3:26:23
Speaker 2: was talking about earlier. So Grant Langston wins the World Championship,
3:26:27
Speaker 2: I win the National championship. Two youngest people to do that.
3:26:30
Speaker 2: He comes over to the US talking so much shit,
3:26:36
Speaker 2: specifically about one event, and he goes, hey, I'm gonna
3:26:40
Speaker 2: flog every American, especially Pastrana, like he's a little girl.
3:26:43
Speaker 2: Says this before he comes over, like he's like basically
3:26:47
Speaker 2: beat all of these guys. Like, so, I got no
3:26:49
Speaker 2: fear to make me all pink gear. I had a
3:26:52
Speaker 2: pink energizer bunny that I put on my helmet and
3:26:55
Speaker 2: we started just so mind you, the first first race
3:26:59
Speaker 2: that season, up next to me. I move over. He
3:27:02
Speaker 2: lines up next to me. Again, you're not They made
3:27:03
Speaker 2: a rule about it. If you don't making at least
3:27:05
Speaker 2: one rule a year, you're not pushing the boundaries. We
3:27:07
Speaker 2: almost never had a battle because we'd grab each other's
3:27:10
Speaker 2: front brakes. Whoever got the lead, they'd hit the front
3:27:12
Speaker 2: brake on the other person, or clutch or elbow there was.
3:27:15
Speaker 2: I knocked him down one time before we got over
3:27:17
Speaker 2: the start gate at Southwick, like he was on the ground,
3:27:20
Speaker 2: just done. Like we never had a good battle this
3:27:22
Speaker 2: year because we were so we go into this round Southwick.
3:27:25
Speaker 2: He'd already break checked me to a point where I
3:27:27
Speaker 2: like had a concussion going up one of the hills
3:27:29
Speaker 2: and he saw like I was coming this way, he
3:27:31
Speaker 2: was coming that way. And usually on the first lap especially,
3:27:34
Speaker 2: it's just common courtesy not to knock someone down on
3:27:38
Speaker 2: a jump in front of the entire field. I got
3:27:40
Speaker 2: run over by everyone in the field, like we were
3:27:44
Speaker 2: not friends. Said he was gonna flog everyone like a
3:27:48
Speaker 2: bunch of girls. I dressed him pink or had all
3:27:50
Speaker 2: this stuff. We go out in the first heat, first practice,
3:27:53
Speaker 2: they have timing. He's first. I'm usually three four seconds
3:27:58
Speaker 2: off in practice. I put in a pretty good round.
3:28:00
Speaker 2: I'm second by quite a big ways. He talks so
3:28:03
Speaker 2: much crap. So I'm on the starting line and we're
3:28:05
Speaker 2: getting after each other talking crap on I'm like you
3:28:08
Speaker 2: talking about practice before that was the thing, like all right,
3:28:13
Speaker 2: like fine, you want to go let's go. It doesn't
3:28:14
Speaker 2: even matter, Like fuck it, I'm gonna kick your assi
3:28:18
Speaker 2: practice like whatever, like we're on all weekend. Let's go.
3:28:21
Speaker 2: So he uh separates his shoulder and breaks his collarbone.
3:28:26
Speaker 2: I knocked myself out, It's true, battles in practice before
3:28:33
Speaker 2: the race, even starts trying to get fastest lap time,
3:28:35
Speaker 2: which matters for nothing, just full send. He ends up.
3:28:40
Speaker 2: He gets uh all kinds of injections and stuff and
3:28:44
Speaker 2: tries to run the motto. So, I don't know, I
3:28:47
Speaker 2: didn't pass any of the tests. I don't know how
3:28:48
Speaker 2: they let me out. I didn't. I don't remember the
3:28:51
Speaker 2: race up from down, and I ended up winning the race.
3:28:54
Speaker 2: But I didn't dress in the pink because I didn't
3:28:56
Speaker 2: feel like one. I was probably go. I was thrown
3:28:58
Speaker 2: up before the start. I think that was probably a
3:28:59
Speaker 2: good We didn't know a lot about concussions back then,
3:29:05
Speaker 2: a different era. But he ended up somehow riding the
3:29:10
Speaker 2: moto like, which was was pretty cool. He didn't he
3:29:13
Speaker 2: wasn't near the front like he was so sorry. He
3:29:16
Speaker 2: had a uh dislocated and separated shower. He did not
3:29:20
Speaker 2: break his collarbone, but ended up like missing the next
3:29:22
Speaker 2: round completely but all because we had talked so much
3:29:26
Speaker 2: crap that we decided that it was worth it to
3:29:29
Speaker 2: try to have the fastest time.
3:29:32
Speaker 6: That's what you were looking for.
3:29:33
Speaker 2: Right there?
3:29:34
Speaker 6: That guy, some guy coming over from Europe being like
3:29:36
Speaker 6: fuck Americans.
3:29:38
Speaker 2: Fuck. Travis was like, what would you say? We both
3:29:42
Speaker 2: made the Hall of Fame the same year, and he
3:29:44
Speaker 2: was like up there crying and talking about just so
3:29:47
Speaker 2: happy to be. I got up on. I didn't realize
3:29:50
Speaker 2: it was live, like not just in the room. I'm like,
3:29:53
Speaker 2: that guy's a liar. Now, he's super nice. Good.
3:30:00
Speaker 6: Now, So you've got a lot of You've done a
3:30:02
Speaker 6: lot of stunts. You did one recently when you went
3:30:05
Speaker 6: through that casino, started around doing wheelis and stuff like that.
3:30:08
Speaker 6: Is there anything any stunts that you might be planning
3:30:11
Speaker 6: in the very near future somewhere near Richmond. I don't
3:30:16
Speaker 6: know something going on at all that you might be
3:30:19
Speaker 6: excited about. I yes, I'm yeah, that's that's all I
3:30:24
Speaker 6: wanted to hear. I'm excited Richmond, Virginia. Well he said
3:30:28
Speaker 6: the wrong place, but I know what he's talking about.
3:30:30
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, good, actually, so going going back, it's
3:30:39
Speaker 2: north of Richmond right now. I don't think we can
3:30:42
Speaker 2: say anything but a totally different subject, not related to
3:30:47
Speaker 2: this at all. Dana White coming in for Tita Brothers.
3:30:53
Speaker 2: Investing in Nitro Circus has been a real breath of
3:30:57
Speaker 2: fresh air. Like Nitro was a lot of fun, a
3:31:01
Speaker 2: group of friends. We all kind of got hurt, injured,
3:31:03
Speaker 2: old whatever it was, and it was still going pretty good.
3:31:07
Speaker 2: We get our Willie, some the up and comers that
3:31:09
Speaker 2: are really taking this to the next level. And then
3:31:12
Speaker 2: COVID hit and we lost a lot of the fundamental crew.
3:31:15
Speaker 2: Like there was a lot of people that you can't
3:31:16
Speaker 2: replace this person with passion, they need to replace with
3:31:19
Speaker 2: five people. So we were getting a lot of stuff
3:31:21
Speaker 2: done for a lot less money. And like our like
3:31:29
Speaker 2: for instance, our security guard ended up. Now he's Travis
3:31:31
Speaker 2: Kelsey security guard. So like everybody moved up. Yeah, you know,
3:31:35
Speaker 2: like wow, we can make a lot more money doing
3:31:37
Speaker 2: a lot less work. So it took a.
3:31:41
Speaker 6: Demetrious black dude, big black dude.
3:31:44
Speaker 2: No So so he runs the guy that I was
3:31:47
Speaker 2: talking about runs the agency that runs got You, got You,
3:31:51
Speaker 2: got You, got You. But yeah, so he moved up.
3:31:54
Speaker 2: Australian guy Military's Special Forces anyway, So but just in
3:32:02
Speaker 2: that like our ramp builders are everyone, the track crew,
3:32:05
Speaker 2: the drivers, the mechanics, that everyone kind of got different
3:32:09
Speaker 2: jobs when we kind of went down and when it
3:32:11
Speaker 2: came back, we had partnered with and great people, but
3:32:17
Speaker 2: run by a bunch of bean counters, and they were like, oh, well,
3:32:21
Speaker 2: we need to sell ten thousand tickets to break even
3:32:23
Speaker 2: and we average twelve to fourteen thousand tickets. What if
3:32:28
Speaker 2: we take the cost down so that we only need
3:32:31
Speaker 2: to sell six thousand tickets. But what the thing is
3:32:34
Speaker 2: about Nitro Circus is it's the best riders in the
3:32:37
Speaker 2: world doing the craziest stuff in the world, pushing the
3:32:41
Speaker 2: limit every single Like people always say, how do you
3:32:44
Speaker 2: get these guys to do this week in and week out?
3:32:45
Speaker 2: I'm like, the hard part is getting them not to
3:32:47
Speaker 2: do it day in and day out, to say, look,
3:32:49
Speaker 2: this is the program. I only need one or two
3:32:53
Speaker 2: riders to step up. If all of you step up
3:32:55
Speaker 2: every night, you're all gonna be broken. No matter how
3:32:58
Speaker 2: safe the landings are so and if something's amazing and
3:33:03
Speaker 2: the crowds on their feet cheering, we don't need three
3:33:05
Speaker 2: more guys to knock themselves out consecutively. After that happens.
3:33:08
Speaker 2: Just let that guy have or a girl have their
3:33:11
Speaker 2: moment of glory. And we need to think of this
3:33:13
Speaker 2: as a show, like give the people what they want,
3:33:15
Speaker 2: but build it up. And you know, if if two
3:33:18
Speaker 2: or three people crash right before you, you gotta land
3:33:21
Speaker 2: a trick. If Aaron Wheel's fathering him is in you
3:33:23
Speaker 2: know he's in a wheelchair, spot a biffida. If he
3:33:25
Speaker 2: knocks himself out and then Joeline goes out there and
3:33:28
Speaker 2: knocks herself out, I'm like, there's certain people that aren't
3:33:31
Speaker 2: allowed to crash in the show, and like you gotta
3:33:33
Speaker 2: we got to start, you know, we got to start
3:33:34
Speaker 2: thinking of it, like what can we land? You know,
3:33:36
Speaker 2: but if if Wheels nails his thing and Joline nails
3:33:39
Speaker 2: her thing and everyone's landing everything, Hey, this is your
3:33:43
Speaker 2: cart blotch. You want to try a triple backflip, triple twisting,
3:33:46
Speaker 2: freaking whatever you want to do, like ore willly shenanigans
3:33:50
Speaker 2: that are video game tricks. You can't even do video
3:33:52
Speaker 2: games like send it. But long story long, we started
3:33:55
Speaker 2: cutting on a couple of things that I say we loosely,
3:33:59
Speaker 2: but you know, Nitro Circus is part of part of
3:34:02
Speaker 2: my soul, you know, and not doing the giving the
3:34:05
Speaker 2: guys the funding to really build their brands. You know,
3:34:08
Speaker 2: they go out and you know they're just doing the shows,
3:34:11
Speaker 2: but who knows them. If X Games isn't where it
3:34:13
Speaker 2: was or this, I'm like, we need to go. We
3:34:15
Speaker 2: need to bring back Nitro World Games. We need to
3:34:16
Speaker 2: give these guys a platform to shine where we found
3:34:18
Speaker 2: out who the best riders are. And then we need
3:34:20
Speaker 2: to build these brands, you know, help them with getting
3:34:23
Speaker 2: some YouTube and getting some Netflix and getting these deals
3:34:25
Speaker 2: or whatever they're doing, or just building ramps or innovating.
3:34:28
Speaker 2: And it's tough because you know, it takes money to
3:34:31
Speaker 2: make money. But Dana came in. He's like, all right,
3:34:34
Speaker 2: let's go what are we going to do and kind
3:34:36
Speaker 2: of re energized, you know, this whole Nitro Circus brand.
3:34:41
Speaker 2: So you know, we kind of went with the Channel
3:34:43
Speaker 2: one n nine doing the YouTube stuff because Nitro Circus
3:34:46
Speaker 2: is the best in the world doing best in the
3:34:48
Speaker 2: world stuff like we built a roller coaster for a
3:34:53
Speaker 2: jetboat in my lap pool. You know, everyone's like, well,
3:34:57
Speaker 2: that's not a stunt. I'm like, no, we got a
3:34:58
Speaker 2: roller coaster or a lapool the like, you know, so
3:35:02
Speaker 2: we went went a little left, but we're all kind
3:35:04
Speaker 2: of coming back together now. It's pretty cool.
3:35:05
Speaker 6: Was how is the touring working out for Nitro Circus?
3:35:08
Speaker 2: Now, touring is pretty good, so, you know, for Tita's
3:35:13
Speaker 2: uh so, the Ratita brothers, their son is actually now
3:35:19
Speaker 2: kind of in charge of Nitro Circus and he's super
3:35:22
Speaker 2: smart kid not kid, he's you know, mid twenties, but
3:35:25
Speaker 2: came from you know, banking and accounting and everything and
3:35:29
Speaker 2: and but he's also very sharp on action sports and
3:35:33
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think he's gonna do a
3:35:35
Speaker 2: lot of good for for the brand. So they were
3:35:37
Speaker 2: able to make it this year with Ricky Melnick and
3:35:40
Speaker 2: kind of all the crew, a lot of the crew
3:35:41
Speaker 2: that's you know, Brett and a lot of the crew
3:35:43
Speaker 2: that's been there for a long time. We're kind of
3:35:45
Speaker 2: giving back the reins because when Dana and those guys
3:35:48
Speaker 2: came in, they tried to do what they did with football,
3:35:49
Speaker 2: and it's it's a little different market, it's a different
3:35:53
Speaker 2: it's a different understanding of how things work. So they
3:35:56
Speaker 2: kind of took a step back and said, Okay, we're
3:35:58
Speaker 2: gonna let you guys do what you know how to do,
3:36:01
Speaker 2: and we don't get a huge leash, but let's let's
3:36:05
Speaker 2: make it what it was in the early mid two thousands,
3:36:08
Speaker 2: and it's really coming on really strong in school.
3:36:10
Speaker 3: That's a great group to be with for actually sports.
3:36:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, for marketing, there there's no better. Yeah.
3:36:15
Speaker 6: How do you feel about like the state of where
3:36:18
Speaker 6: X games is at now? Because in those early two thousands,
3:36:20
Speaker 6: it was like August, right, Like August is when X
3:36:22
Speaker 6: games happens, you put it on your calendar, you get
3:36:25
Speaker 6: after it or late July whatever it was, and then
3:36:27
Speaker 6: for a period of time, I don't know if they
3:36:28
Speaker 6: still do it, but it was like quarterly almost like
3:36:30
Speaker 6: there was multiple X games in a year, which is
3:36:33
Speaker 6: not fair because.
3:36:33
Speaker 2: I got like eleven X Games go medals, and then
3:36:35
Speaker 2: there's other people that have eleven, but they had like
3:36:37
Speaker 2: four a year, right right, yeah exactly, you could add a.
3:36:41
Speaker 6: Whole lot more. Is do you think that helped or
3:36:43
Speaker 6: hurt the you know, the extreme sports world? Because I
3:36:47
Speaker 6: feel like at one point we all sat there in
3:36:50
Speaker 6: the mecca of all this where we're like, hey, this
3:36:53
Speaker 6: time of year right now, this is when we're all
3:36:55
Speaker 6: going to invest in this sports. See who the best
3:36:57
Speaker 6: in the world is now it's kind of like periodically
3:36:59
Speaker 6: it's kind of all over the place when used to
3:37:00
Speaker 6: be in Los Angeles, and you get after it.
3:37:02
Speaker 2: Well, it's like Olympics. I wouldn't sit down and watch
3:37:04
Speaker 2: Bob sledding, but I'll watch America Bob sled team all
3:37:07
Speaker 2: all day long. You know, if it's even curling, I
3:37:09
Speaker 2: don't care what it is, let's go. So I think
3:37:13
Speaker 2: what's helped and hurt the sport is social media. YouTube
3:37:18
Speaker 2: used to do a video part. He took a full
3:37:20
Speaker 2: year to build this epic part and build heroes and
3:37:23
Speaker 2: build characters and build legends. And now if you didn't
3:37:28
Speaker 2: do it this week, it's already forgotten about. So it's
3:37:30
Speaker 2: a much it's easier to be found. People say, how
3:37:34
Speaker 2: do I get on Nitro Circus. I'm like, if you're
3:37:36
Speaker 2: doing something that no one else is able to do
3:37:39
Speaker 2: or no one else is willing to do, we'll find you.
3:37:41
Speaker 2: Like and it's it's out there like anyone from anywhere
3:37:44
Speaker 2: with any amount of resources can be known. But at
3:37:49
Speaker 2: the same time making yourself that those Ryan Shecklers and
3:37:53
Speaker 2: the Tony Hawks and Dave Miraz and like that kind
3:37:56
Speaker 2: of name brand is extremely difficult. Are Willi's doing a
3:38:00
Speaker 2: really good job, but most of the people that are
3:38:02
Speaker 2: building these brands are from YouTube. They might not be
3:38:05
Speaker 2: the best. Even if you look at Rob der Dick,
3:38:07
Speaker 2: like deer Dick wasn't the best skateboarder, but he's one
3:38:10
Speaker 2: of the most famous skateboarders because of what he was
3:38:13
Speaker 2: able to do and bringing that, you know, that fun
3:38:17
Speaker 2: atmosphere and that relatability. So it's kind of getting like
3:38:20
Speaker 2: NASCAR now where you do have to have a little
3:38:22
Speaker 2: bit of that personality. You have to be a likable character.
3:38:25
Speaker 2: You have to you have to invest in yourself and
3:38:27
Speaker 2: build your own brand and what's like your business in itself?
3:38:31
Speaker 6: Man?
3:38:31
Speaker 3: And what's even watching Rob der Dick like you're a
3:38:33
Speaker 3: spot on about him in this this skateboard world I did.
3:38:37
Speaker 3: It was like secondary learning that he was like a
3:38:40
Speaker 3: skateboarder because I would watch the Fantasy Factor. You see
3:38:43
Speaker 3: everything he does entrepreneurship wise towards say oh damn, this
3:38:46
Speaker 3: dude also skates.
3:38:48
Speaker 2: But he was given an opportunity by Ken Block, who
3:38:51
Speaker 2: gave me the opportunity in Jim Conna and helped so
3:38:53
Speaker 2: many sports and even you know he was one of
3:38:55
Speaker 2: the founder's DC shoes with U D Anyways, brother, Yeah,
3:39:00
Speaker 2: And what I'm asking Dana right now kind of is, hey, look,
3:39:04
Speaker 2: there's a lot of these athletes that are amazing. They're
3:39:08
Speaker 2: amazing humans, they're amazing talents, but a lot of them
3:39:11
Speaker 2: are pretty adhd A lot of them don't want to
3:39:14
Speaker 2: sit down and edit. A lot of them don't want
3:39:15
Speaker 2: to do this stuff. They just want to go ride
3:39:17
Speaker 2: their dirt bike. And it's interesting because you take all
3:39:19
Speaker 2: these action sports that are very individual sports, and then
3:39:22
Speaker 2: you expect these people that are have just wanted to
3:39:25
Speaker 2: put on a helmet and not talk to anyone and
3:39:27
Speaker 2: just go they love their skateboard or their motorcycle or
3:39:29
Speaker 2: the bicycle, and then you expect to put them in
3:39:31
Speaker 2: the limelight where oh there's you know, they've changed, they're
3:39:35
Speaker 2: so stuck up now. They're no, they're just not that social.
3:39:38
Speaker 2: But they're not to say, they're not funny or they're
3:39:39
Speaker 2: not smarter, they're not witty, they're not you know, and
3:39:41
Speaker 2: they're not amazing, and they wouldn't be great. But I'm
3:39:44
Speaker 2: like Dana, we have to like really go not find them.
3:39:48
Speaker 2: They're they're doing it already they're doing it for fun,
3:39:50
Speaker 2: Like we have to figure out a way to capture
3:39:52
Speaker 2: these people and build these heroes because right now we
3:39:55
Speaker 2: don't have the same avenues with doing these videos that
3:39:59
Speaker 2: people watch like I wait for Terra Firma and Crust
3:40:01
Speaker 2: the Demons and yeah, creatures have it like I don't
3:40:04
Speaker 2: know if we were, but yeah.
3:40:07
Speaker 6: They would go and drop and you go to like
3:40:08
Speaker 6: Tower Records and and you'd be like, fuck, yes, it
3:40:11
Speaker 6: just came out and you'd be so fired up, and
3:40:13
Speaker 6: there'd be a line over and over and over and
3:40:15
Speaker 6: he was going home, and you just put it on
3:40:17
Speaker 6: and just be like, this is how do we outdo what?
3:40:19
Speaker 6: You'd be like, how do I just meet these guys
3:40:23
Speaker 6: around this? Yeah, you're you're right, because it is like
3:40:26
Speaker 6: that's the double sort of social media, Like you get
3:40:29
Speaker 6: to see it. You have to enjoy it right then
3:40:31
Speaker 6: and there, and then someone next week is doing something else.
3:40:33
Speaker 6: But there's never like a team aspect of getting a
3:40:35
Speaker 6: bunch of people together and be like, let's do badass stuff,
3:40:38
Speaker 6: show the RECs, show the triumphs, everything in between, and
3:40:41
Speaker 6: then give it to somebody for everybody to consume at
3:40:43
Speaker 6: one time.
3:40:44
Speaker 2: So and also kind of on this and it doesn't
3:40:48
Speaker 2: make any My business decisions have made no sense to anyone.
3:40:52
Speaker 2: But a lot of times one plus one equals five.
3:40:54
Speaker 2: And I'll explain this a little bit more so my
3:40:56
Speaker 2: whole life, I put everything back into whatever I was
3:40:59
Speaker 2: going next, I'm like, is it worth my time? Then? Yeah, yeah,
3:41:04
Speaker 2: maybe yeah. I could retire after motocross, but I'm going
3:41:07
Speaker 2: to have to not do the things that I love
3:41:09
Speaker 2: to do, Like how do I keep doing the things
3:41:10
Speaker 2: I love to do? How to keep pushing myself. So,
3:41:12
Speaker 2: for example, night your Circus goes, hey, we have four
3:41:15
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollar budget, and that's you know, one hundred
3:41:18
Speaker 2: thousand of music in probably hundred thousand vetting, you know,
3:41:21
Speaker 2: just by the time you get everything, and so it's
3:41:22
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollar budget to make a video that
3:41:24
Speaker 2: I want to make. I want to make old school
3:41:26
Speaker 2: video action sports like music video. I spent one point
3:41:29
Speaker 2: two million first year, so I was like, hey, I
3:41:32
Speaker 2: want to make another video, Like, hey, that video did good,
3:41:35
Speaker 2: it made made a half million back, but they, you know,
3:41:38
Speaker 2: the budget is still four hundred thousand, you know, And
3:41:42
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, So I spent eight hundred
3:41:44
Speaker 2: thousand the next time, and on that one, I did
3:41:46
Speaker 2: a double backflip with a full twist. I ended up
3:41:49
Speaker 2: hitting so hard. I don't want to tell the story again,
3:41:53
Speaker 2: but I'm going to you because it's kind of necessary.
3:41:55
Speaker 2: If that's okay, you guys get so end of the video.
3:42:01
Speaker 2: We got the whole thing finished. And there was a
3:42:03
Speaker 2: setup that I'm like, I could do a double backflip
3:42:07
Speaker 2: with a full twist, and Ausie I've been working on
3:42:08
Speaker 2: it on a bicycle since two thousand and one. I'm like,
3:42:12
Speaker 2: it's possible, and this is a setup, and this is
3:42:14
Speaker 2: the day and it was just about to get dark,
3:42:16
Speaker 2: and I'm like I'm doing it. And Lindsay's like, what,
3:42:19
Speaker 2: Like why the takeoff is twenty five foot tall? You're
3:42:23
Speaker 2: gonna go, you know, sixty five feet seventy feet off
3:42:26
Speaker 2: the ground. It had a resie landing, so it had
3:42:29
Speaker 2: a hard plastic over an airbag, but it's still pretty hard.
3:42:32
Speaker 2: So I went up. This is probably the time, YEP,
3:42:34
Speaker 2: So that time right there, I go up and I
3:42:36
Speaker 2: bailed out. I chickened out right here and I landed
3:42:41
Speaker 2: and I thought I closed my eyes. I was pretty
3:42:45
Speaker 2: sure I just closed my eyes for a second. But
3:42:49
Speaker 2: when I woke up, or when I when I opened
3:42:51
Speaker 2: my eyes back up, all my friends were there and
3:42:53
Speaker 2: someone had had pooped in my pants, and so I
3:42:58
Speaker 2: got up a bit. I know, I still have found
3:43:00
Speaker 2: out who and it wasn't a little bit like it was.
3:43:04
Speaker 2: It was quite a bit there. I don't again don't
3:43:06
Speaker 2: know who did it. But I was like, all right,
3:43:10
Speaker 2: I'm going again. And my wife's like, you're gonna go change.
3:43:13
Speaker 2: I'm like, if I go up to the house and
3:43:16
Speaker 2: on gear, I'm getting the hot tub and taking to
3:43:19
Speaker 2: Adville and I will never I will never do this trick.
3:43:22
Speaker 2: She's like, good, maybe she just never do this trick, Like,
3:43:25
Speaker 2: who cares, You've already you spent over double what our
3:43:29
Speaker 2: budget was for this movie. Now we're gonna have hospital bills,
3:43:31
Speaker 2: Like why are you gonna risk your life? I'm like,
3:43:33
Speaker 2: because this is my opportunity. I think it can be done.
3:43:35
Speaker 2: So I crashed again on it and Lindsay's like, really,
3:43:39
Speaker 2: you're You're a complete idiot. And who was there was
3:43:42
Speaker 2: Trevor Jacob. So he was actually a guy that he
3:43:46
Speaker 2: kicked off a tree earlier that year, like literally was
3:43:49
Speaker 2: missing the pit kicked off a tree, got back on.
3:43:50
Speaker 2: He went to the Olympics for snowboarding, basically qualify for
3:43:53
Speaker 2: the Olympics as a joke. Okay, as number one in
3:43:56
Speaker 2: World Cup, like the kid has amazingly amount of talent,
3:43:58
Speaker 2: and then had a Jacob Bellist moment and he was
3:44:00
Speaker 2: qualified number one and then crashed doing a trick right
3:44:04
Speaker 2: before he finished. Didn't make it in the final Olympics.
3:44:06
Speaker 2: So anyway, I love Trevor. He's great. But he's like,
3:44:09
Speaker 2: this is a double quark ten eighty. He goes, but
3:44:13
Speaker 2: it's a motorcyclist two hundred and fifty pounds. You're not
3:44:16
Speaker 2: going to make it unless you commit. He goes, if
3:44:19
Speaker 2: you're not willing to commit, because I three times uncommitted
3:44:22
Speaker 2: this thing. And he goes, if you're not going to commit, don't,
3:44:25
Speaker 2: don't even bother like don't why are we here, and
3:44:27
Speaker 2: everyone else is like, yeah, we shouldn't be here. Don't
3:44:29
Speaker 2: do it. It's not going to work, and Trevor goes,
3:44:31
Speaker 2: it will work. He goes, I see all the roadchas,
3:44:33
Speaker 2: it's a snowboard, you're just doing a double quirk ten
3:44:35
Speaker 2: on a dirt bike. He goes, this will work. But
3:44:38
Speaker 2: see right there, I kept trying to spot the landing.
3:44:41
Speaker 2: So I come around and right here, I would look
3:44:42
Speaker 2: at the landing. This time I look straight back. So
3:44:45
Speaker 2: he goes, you have to go blind. Well, and I
3:44:47
Speaker 2: still didn't quite do it as hard as I needed to.
3:44:51
Speaker 2: So I rull my bell again on that one.
3:44:53
Speaker 6: But so hold on, that's the second one after someone
3:44:55
Speaker 6: shit in your pants.
3:44:56
Speaker 2: After Yeah, so this is already with a full I
3:44:58
Speaker 2: had a little extra waiting on this one.
3:45:00
Speaker 6: Right well, yeah, we'll wait the second attempt on Yeah, yeah, wait,
3:45:03
Speaker 6: real quick, pull up that fan question because a fan
3:45:05
Speaker 6: actually asked, justin Monzoo, did he ever find out who'shit
3:45:10
Speaker 6: in his pants?
3:45:11
Speaker 2: Nope, still still looking to this day. I really, I
3:45:15
Speaker 2: mean really weird one of my friends will do that.
3:45:19
Speaker 2: But yeah, so yeah it was. It wasn't knocked out
3:45:21
Speaker 2: my friends just they teleported and that that happened was
3:45:24
Speaker 2: kind of was a weird situation. But so anyway, I
3:45:26
Speaker 2: got back up after this one, which you can see
3:45:28
Speaker 2: I was having a lot of fun right there trying
3:45:30
Speaker 2: to figure out which way was up, and uh, everyone
3:45:35
Speaker 2: else was like, don't do it, don't do it, don't
3:45:37
Speaker 2: do it, Like why are you doing this? There's no
3:45:38
Speaker 2: like you're you're an idiot, you're old, you're washed up.
3:45:41
Speaker 2: This doesn't matter. There's twenty of us out here. No
3:45:43
Speaker 2: one will care. It won't change the movie at all.
3:45:47
Speaker 2: And Trevor Jacob was the one. He goes, Dude, you
3:45:49
Speaker 2: can do it, he goes. But you just can't spot
3:45:51
Speaker 2: the landing. You can't come around and look at the landing,
3:45:53
Speaker 2: he goes. You have to go blind. You have to
3:45:54
Speaker 2: just trust it to work. So this is another thing.
3:45:56
Speaker 2: Coming down the hill shift in the third year. It's
3:45:58
Speaker 2: not a straight line. So you go here, then you
3:46:01
Speaker 2: go right. Take off is twenty two foot tall, and
3:46:06
Speaker 2: this is an interesting trick because it had three steps.
3:46:09
Speaker 2: So you take off, you pull like a triple backflip,
3:46:11
Speaker 2: so you pull straight back, yeat like a triple and
3:46:14
Speaker 2: then right here you twist as hard as you can
3:46:17
Speaker 2: bring the bike with you. And then right here, at
3:46:19
Speaker 2: the very top, you drop your shoulder straight back, and
3:46:22
Speaker 2: as you drop your shoulder straight back, the bike straightens
3:46:24
Speaker 2: out almost enough, but you'll never you never see the landing.
3:46:28
Speaker 2: So that landing there is that's a thirty foot tall landing.
3:46:32
Speaker 2: So I mean it's you know, you're sixty feet off
3:46:34
Speaker 2: off the deck, but here you're just hoping that it
3:46:37
Speaker 2: comes around. And it was, I mean, wasn't the best landing.
3:46:42
Speaker 6: That is.
3:46:45
Speaker 2: So, but at this point there was. It's hard because
3:46:47
Speaker 2: like a triple backflip, you pull as hard as you can,
3:46:49
Speaker 2: you suck up as tight as you can, you keep
3:46:51
Speaker 2: everything going in the same direction. This had three things,
3:46:53
Speaker 2: so it was hard for me to come down and
3:46:56
Speaker 2: focus on the timing of all three, but also hit
3:47:01
Speaker 2: the ramp with the speed that I needed and not
3:47:03
Speaker 2: missed the first step. Yeah, so this is the longest
3:47:06
Speaker 2: I've ever taken and I want This is the moment
3:47:07
Speaker 2: I realized I didn't want to do this anymore, as
3:47:09
Speaker 2: like doing one off first tricks, like I just wasn't
3:47:13
Speaker 2: mentally able to turn my brain off enough to do this.
3:47:15
Speaker 2: This should have been a one and done trick, like
3:47:17
Speaker 2: you either do it or you don't. And it took me,
3:47:19
Speaker 2: you know, four times to commit to this. You know,
3:47:24
Speaker 2: but maybe the poop and the pants help, so it's
3:47:25
Speaker 2: hard to tell. Yeah, yeahs, you.
3:47:28
Speaker 3: Get to drop it a little bit more.
3:47:30
Speaker 2: Where is this?
3:47:31
Speaker 3: When did you do this?
3:47:32
Speaker 2: Eighteen? Maybe twenty seventeen, seventeen twenty seventeen, just nuts and
3:47:37
Speaker 2: that's and then you finished and you're like all right,
3:47:39
Speaker 2: yeah until I get the back flip to front flip thing.
3:47:42
Speaker 2: And again. Now there's electric bikes, like I do stuff
3:47:46
Speaker 2: that if anyone else is doing it or has done,
3:47:49
Speaker 2: like the Triple. I know, we've kind of committed to
3:47:51
Speaker 2: this now and I don't like to like back out
3:47:53
Speaker 2: of that, but the Triple has been it's been shown
3:47:55
Speaker 2: that it can happen. It's been done, and not that
3:47:58
Speaker 2: that's negative, but I like to inspire people to think
3:48:02
Speaker 2: in a different direction. You got like Axle Hodges now
3:48:05
Speaker 2: that's doing things very differently. Colby Raja is pushing the
3:48:08
Speaker 2: distance jobs, bringing back the evil can Eevil stuff. You know,
3:48:11
Speaker 2: there's certain riders that are really doing stuff different. I
3:48:14
Speaker 2: just haven't seen anyone that's put the time into the
3:48:17
Speaker 2: electric the Starks to go and they have they do
3:48:19
Speaker 2: the whips. If you see some of these whips on
3:48:22
Speaker 2: the Starks, it doesn't make any sense how this works,
3:48:26
Speaker 2: but they're able to do stuff that you can't do
3:48:29
Speaker 2: with a regular bike.
3:48:31
Speaker 6: Dude, to Axle Hodges, you're bringing him up his body control, Like,
3:48:35
Speaker 6: what's that when he lands, when he lands off the
3:48:38
Speaker 6: jumps and he's like in a wheeling and he holds that.
3:48:40
Speaker 6: It's just it's incredible to see. Man, that's just nuts.
3:48:44
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean so and X Games is where
3:48:47
Speaker 2: they banned electric bikes from the contest, which I understand
3:48:51
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people against him. But as far
3:48:53
Speaker 2: as whips are concerned, like they can do stuff with
3:48:55
Speaker 2: these the physics, we haven't even started to tap the
3:48:58
Speaker 2: possibilities yet. So as much as I'm not an electric fan, dude,
3:49:05
Speaker 2: Like my kids love electric. When we go watch Supercross,
3:49:08
Speaker 2: you know it's nighttime. They can be on electric bikes
3:49:11
Speaker 2: until you know, eleven twelve o'clock, as long as they're not,
3:49:14
Speaker 2: you know, in a neighborhood while we're barbecuing and doing
3:49:17
Speaker 2: whatever and they're just out back, we get a couple
3:49:18
Speaker 2: of lights shouting on a little little.
3:49:20
Speaker 6: Your eight track and they love it. Some about the
3:49:22
Speaker 6: purity though, the oh yeah, like that little electric sound.
3:49:28
Speaker 6: No like mixing gas kicking ask ye, it's it's it's different.
3:49:31
Speaker 3: It's a yeah, it's a gasoline.
3:49:35
Speaker 6: Some about that gasoline. Rather I listen. I know we've
3:49:38
Speaker 6: been going a long time. I have like a two
3:49:41
Speaker 6: hours more. But I'll digress. We'll hit some fan questions, Bud,
3:49:44
Speaker 6: Like question, well, you got to you got a big
3:49:46
Speaker 6: night tonight for charity softball game, So let's get into
3:49:48
Speaker 6: some fan questions real quick.
3:49:50
Speaker 2: Are you are you in on that? You guys in
3:49:51
Speaker 2: on that?
3:49:51
Speaker 3: We've done it.
3:49:52
Speaker 6: It was awesome, We're about it. We're unfortunately unable to
3:49:55
Speaker 6: make it this year. Unfortunately I've never actually owned a glove,
3:50:00
Speaker 6: so this will be interesting that we grew up in
3:50:02
Speaker 6: different worlds.
3:50:03
Speaker 3: Dude, it's fun. Yeah, the house too.
3:50:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, people are great. The foundation's awesome. They do they have,
3:50:09
Speaker 6: they have an awesome set up.
3:50:10
Speaker 3: Here, got one here from Operation Tony. Great question is
3:50:15
Speaker 3: his experience with no fear? Why had a lot of
3:50:18
Speaker 3: points in his career. Does he seem like he has
3:50:20
Speaker 3: absolute zero fear? A true icon?
3:50:23
Speaker 2: Dude? Thanks Operation Tony. So it's a question and there's
3:50:29
Speaker 2: some well yeah, well, no fear happens for me when
3:50:31
Speaker 2: you're when you're not prepared. So some people get scared
3:50:36
Speaker 2: in the moment. I've already I've already gone through that
3:50:38
Speaker 2: process before that, and now I'm getting old, like rist reward.
3:50:42
Speaker 2: A lot of times, like a triple backflip or even
3:50:45
Speaker 2: with that, I'm coming to take off, and I'm like
3:50:47
Speaker 2: starting to think, is it worth it? If you're thinking
3:50:50
Speaker 2: that at all, it's just not worth it. And I
3:50:52
Speaker 2: realized that, you know, there's definitely I'm past that point
3:50:55
Speaker 2: in my life where the risky of the award is
3:50:57
Speaker 2: the same. But for example, like double back, for I
3:51:00
Speaker 2: wasn't really nervous when I took off. Was I nervous
3:51:03
Speaker 2: when I made the decision to do it? Hell yeah,
3:51:05
Speaker 2: I waited out all the possible outcomes and decided that
3:51:08
Speaker 2: I would rather be injured trying it than to not
3:51:11
Speaker 2: try it. So it's like marriage, you guys. You walk
3:51:17
Speaker 2: down the aisle, so I see some people are nervous.
3:51:18
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, you made this when I just when
3:51:20
Speaker 2: I got that ring to commit like that was that
3:51:24
Speaker 2: was my nervous? Is this the woman I want to
3:51:26
Speaker 2: spend the rest of my life with? When you make
3:51:29
Speaker 2: that commitment, there's no more like, I don't know, if
3:51:32
Speaker 2: you do something you don't like a question walking down
3:51:35
Speaker 2: the aisle, you kind of yeah, well okay, baby baby example,
3:51:37
Speaker 2: but like you you know, but I'll just say trying
3:51:40
Speaker 2: to relate to like something that sports things like you're
3:51:42
Speaker 2: you're either going to do it or you don't. And
3:51:44
Speaker 2: the cool part about most of the stuff that I do.
3:51:47
Speaker 2: Racing is different. Playing football is different. There's all these
3:51:49
Speaker 2: outside variables that you can't control. Freestyle motocross, I can
3:51:54
Speaker 2: control all my variables. I know that my bike's in
3:51:57
Speaker 2: good shape. I know that what life is condition is
3:52:00
Speaker 2: I made the decision that I am competent and ready
3:52:03
Speaker 2: to do X, Y and Z. Now it's tough when
3:52:06
Speaker 2: you're racing. You're like, oh, I get super nervous on
3:52:08
Speaker 2: the start because I can't control the outcome. I can
3:52:10
Speaker 2: have my best start with my best reaction and maybe
3:52:13
Speaker 2: you know what someone is just they got a quicker
3:52:15
Speaker 2: reaction time than I do, or they're gonna catch a
3:52:17
Speaker 2: little bit of a I'll get a spin a little
3:52:20
Speaker 2: bit too much, or like I can't I can't tell
3:52:22
Speaker 2: you what's gonna happen that first turn. I can have
3:52:23
Speaker 2: an idea, but I can't make a game plan, and
3:52:26
Speaker 2: that scares me. Not having game plan scares me.
3:52:28
Speaker 3: Have when you had kids, did a different fear factor?
3:52:33
Speaker 2: Ever?
3:52:33
Speaker 3: Chime in like as far as like the risk reward
3:52:36
Speaker 3: of like not being around for your family, Like I
3:52:39
Speaker 3: know at times it's like, uh, if we take on
3:52:41
Speaker 3: off on a flight, we just have some dark conversation
3:52:44
Speaker 3: of like, yo, what if this plane goes down? And
3:52:46
Speaker 3: you almost like play this scene of like feeling bad
3:52:49
Speaker 3: for everybody else in your life than yourself because we're
3:52:51
Speaker 3: gonna be gone. Yeah, but you almost feel bad leaving
3:52:53
Speaker 3: the leaving the fan back. You go ahead, answer that question.
3:52:55
Speaker 3: I had a p real bad I'm gonna go yeah,
3:52:57
Speaker 3: go ahead, go pee, go pee? You know what I mean?
3:53:00
Speaker 2: Like those for you? Did it happen with you?
3:53:03
Speaker 16: Do?
3:53:04
Speaker 2: What did? How did having kids a change? You got
3:53:06
Speaker 2: three girls?
3:53:07
Speaker 3: Right, two girls, four and eighteen months? And roo came
3:53:13
Speaker 3: when I was basically already done, like I was gonna
3:53:16
Speaker 3: try and play a tenth year, but that came. That
3:53:18
Speaker 3: came after my career. I mean, obviously, I don't think
3:53:22
Speaker 3: I would have thought about it a whole lot playing football,
3:53:24
Speaker 3: But I feel like the things you do. Obviously you
3:53:26
Speaker 3: can die on a football field, but I feel like
3:53:28
Speaker 3: the stuff that you do, especially stunts, things that are
3:53:30
Speaker 3: outside of super cross racing everything else, like when you're
3:53:33
Speaker 3: jumping out of planes, base jumping. Oh that stuff like
3:53:36
Speaker 3: is it ever a thought in your mind like this?
3:53:39
Speaker 3: Has that ever creaked in when you start thinking about it.
3:53:41
Speaker 2: More it yes and no, but it's not in the
3:53:45
Speaker 2: same way. It's usually when I'm with them, like I
3:53:48
Speaker 2: run Harley's or just street bikes down the down the
3:53:51
Speaker 2: roads by your house. Not like exceptionally fast, but my
3:53:54
Speaker 2: kids love being on the back of the Harley, especially
3:53:56
Speaker 2: when they were a little younger and a deer ran
3:53:59
Speaker 2: out in front of it was way out distance. I
3:54:01
Speaker 2: haven't taken them on the back of a street bike since, like,
3:54:04
Speaker 2: and I think about that a lot. Like I don't
3:54:06
Speaker 2: ride street bikes as much as I used to because
3:54:08
Speaker 2: I can't control the variables. But my job is risk reward,
3:54:13
Speaker 2: assessing risk, what the chances are, what the likelihood is,
3:54:16
Speaker 2: what is it worth it? And I want to show
3:54:19
Speaker 2: my kids that if you work hard enough, yes, stuff
3:54:21
Speaker 2: goes wrong and there's you can never control everything, but
3:54:25
Speaker 2: if you're prepared and if you work hard, you can
3:54:28
Speaker 2: still live what others would consider a dangerous life, or
3:54:32
Speaker 2: you could live whatever life that you want to live.
3:54:34
Speaker 2: You can make it work. And I feel like if
3:54:36
Speaker 2: I stopped doing what I loved, I would not show
3:54:39
Speaker 2: them the passion with people around me, the passion.
3:54:40
Speaker 3: So yes and no, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was fascinated
3:54:44
Speaker 3: to ask you that. How about this, as far as
3:54:46
Speaker 3: being a dad, what's one characteristic as your daughters get
3:54:51
Speaker 3: older that you hope they don't take from you.
3:54:57
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good one. Actually, that's I'd never got
3:55:01
Speaker 2: that question before. Let's go. I think in general, if
3:55:05
Speaker 2: my daughters are dating someone like my friends, and I
3:55:07
Speaker 2: I'll be like, if they were like dad, they're just
3:55:08
Speaker 2: like your friends, like stay the hell. But to a
3:55:14
Speaker 2: certain point.
3:55:14
Speaker 3: I mean, I asked him a characteristic as his daughters
3:55:20
Speaker 3: get older, one characteristic that he would not want them
3:55:22
Speaker 3: to take from him.
3:55:23
Speaker 2: That's a great question. What one characteristics she would not
3:55:26
Speaker 2: want your daughters to take from you?
3:55:29
Speaker 6: One characteristic that I wouldn't want. Uh, it's a tough one,
3:55:36
Speaker 6: like on A on A, I don't know because on
3:55:41
Speaker 6: like A on a deeper level, for sure, it's like, uh,
3:55:44
Speaker 6: I'm so quick from a defense mechanism to burn a bridge.
3:55:47
Speaker 6: And like if I if I decide like oh this
3:55:50
Speaker 6: person did X, Y and Z, I'm gonna be done
3:55:52
Speaker 6: now with them, and it'll take me multiple years to
3:55:55
Speaker 6: come back from whatever that is. That's where I hope
3:55:58
Speaker 6: they have better communication skill than I did in order
3:56:01
Speaker 6: to figure out is if you have to burn a bridge,
3:56:05
Speaker 6: like you have to make sure that's the right decision
3:56:07
Speaker 6: for you to make, and sometimes it is, but just
3:56:10
Speaker 6: sometimes I would just go there, especially when I was younger,
3:56:12
Speaker 6: was like, Oh, this person's.
3:56:13
Speaker 2: Acting like this.
3:56:14
Speaker 6: That's not going to help me in any way. I'm
3:56:15
Speaker 6: going to get the hell out of this relationship that was.
3:56:18
Speaker 6: That's probably one character that I would not want them
3:56:19
Speaker 6: to take from me. That's actually a very deep and
3:56:21
Speaker 6: open thing to say on a podocast. Try we try
3:56:26
Speaker 6: to be a little a little death every once in
3:56:28
Speaker 6: a while. But yeah, I think for me, that would
3:56:30
Speaker 6: be definitely one of the things, without putting too much
3:56:33
Speaker 6: thought into it, I see a big character flaw on myself.
3:56:38
Speaker 2: I'd go the opposite question to that, Like most of
3:56:42
Speaker 2: the people that I get along with really well, they're
3:56:45
Speaker 2: all kinds of assholes, but they're really honest. You could
3:56:48
Speaker 2: look any of them in the eye, like when we
3:56:51
Speaker 2: have that's your competitions. Like if someone says they did something,
3:56:54
Speaker 2: I never have to question if they did it, and
3:56:56
Speaker 2: if they did it correctly and all the way through.
3:56:58
Speaker 2: And I think that's the one trait that I hope
3:57:01
Speaker 2: my daughters are always confident enough to say exactly what
3:57:05
Speaker 2: they feel to be in situations they want to be in,
3:57:08
Speaker 2: and have the like the confidence to stand up to
3:57:12
Speaker 2: be like, this is what I believe. Whether you believe
3:57:15
Speaker 2: it or not, I don't really care, so I go
3:57:18
Speaker 2: in different direction. I don't There's a lot of qualities
3:57:20
Speaker 2: that I really hope just because I'm lucky to still
3:57:23
Speaker 2: be alive at this point, and I will take pretty much.
3:57:26
Speaker 2: And now I'm doing a freaking triple back now because
3:57:28
Speaker 2: you got got like it's just sounds interested because interesting,
3:57:33
Speaker 2: let's think it was. Let's think about all.
3:57:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is from Frank's burner. He's broken a lot
3:57:44
Speaker 6: of bones, but has he ever broken his wiener?
3:57:46
Speaker 2: Three times?
3:57:48
Speaker 3: No? Way?
3:57:49
Speaker 2: All right, so how do you do that?
3:57:52
Speaker 3: All right?
3:57:53
Speaker 2: So well, I thought this was gonna be like a
3:57:54
Speaker 2: funny ha ha, but like we've we don't. It was
3:57:57
Speaker 2: a pretty funny ha So the first one, so I
3:58:01
Speaker 2: wake up from a concussion kind of whole day's gone whole,
3:58:05
Speaker 2: actually kind of the month at the time. I kind
3:58:07
Speaker 2: of got a little bits and pieces kind of come back,
3:58:10
Speaker 2: but I was doing a basically lazy boy backflip. It's
3:58:12
Speaker 2: actually on film, you probably bring it up. It's where
3:58:14
Speaker 2: we did the monster trucks and everything was all jumping
3:58:16
Speaker 2: out in California for lock and Load maybe video, but anyway,
3:58:22
Speaker 2: did this trick knock myself out? And evidently I got Sorry,
3:58:29
Speaker 2: that's a weird question. We're gonna go for it, so
3:58:31
Speaker 2: weird questions give us weird My mom's not watching this one,
3:58:33
Speaker 2: but yeah, anyway, so it's hard to even say. But yeah,
3:58:38
Speaker 2: so mid point up the shaft hit right against the
3:58:43
Speaker 2: the gas cap really really hard as I was because
3:58:45
Speaker 2: I got knocked out too and had all kinds of
3:58:47
Speaker 2: other stuff, but I just had this this swollen, big lump,
3:58:51
Speaker 2: like the middle of it was erect, but the rest
3:58:54
Speaker 2: of it was not. Oh shit, really And the funniest
3:58:58
Speaker 2: part was my friend Tim to Champ much for a
3:59:00
Speaker 2: friend at all actually, but right next to our our hotel,
3:59:06
Speaker 2: uh there was a said, uh strip club, which I
3:59:11

3:59:51
Speaker 2: So I went to went to my uh my doctor

Speaker 2: who was actually uh still like my pediatrician and family friend.
3:59:58
Speaker 2: I'm like, ah, I need to get tested for you know,
4:00:01
Speaker 2: I was like twenty years old, Like you can test

4:00:07
Speaker 2: not like where that would be. It's like, oh, did
4:00:09
Speaker 2: you hit this at any time? Like probably? And I
4:00:12
Speaker 2: came back she was like, yeah, you didn't win the bet.
4:00:15
Speaker 2: We didn't even go there. I was like, you had
4:00:18
Speaker 2: me go to like our family friend doctor tell him
4:00:20
Speaker 2: that I might have done X, Y and Z. Yeah.
4:00:23
Speaker 2: Drop trial yeah, drop trowl. How long do I got?
4:00:27
Speaker 2: So that was the first time I broke my dick.
4:00:31
Speaker 2: He's fucking I broke his dick. It was actually broken,
4:00:35
Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know, Yeah, just contusion. Yeah. So
4:00:38
Speaker 2: the others were urethra. So the last the last, well,
4:00:40
Speaker 2: the last one was urethra. So I when you shatter
4:00:43
Speaker 2: your pelvis a lot of times, it moves in a
4:00:46
Speaker 2: way that that breaks, like the tube that So Knoxville,
4:00:50
Speaker 2: for example, his first Giant Knoxville, first time coming out
4:00:53
Speaker 2: to be on Nitro Circus stuff. They were doing a
4:00:55
Speaker 2: twenty four hour a takeover for Evil can Eevil MTV.
4:00:59
Speaker 2: So after Evil pass and he's really that bad at
4:01:02
Speaker 2: riding their bikes, really really really bad, like not joking.
4:01:05
Speaker 2: Doesn't know how to operate a clutch, doesn't know how
4:01:07
Speaker 2: to do any of that. So we pushed chart him
4:01:09
Speaker 2: in second gear and I was like, when you hit
4:01:12
Speaker 2: the bottom of the ramp, just go wide open and
4:01:14
Speaker 2: lean back. It's a big step up to like softer
4:01:16
Speaker 2: like fluffy dirt. If that's such a thing. Yeah, I
4:01:19
Speaker 2: was like this is gonna suck, dude. He's like, Ah,
4:01:21
Speaker 2: I've taken bowls, I can take this. So he's like,
4:01:24
Speaker 2: as long as I don't break my dick. Yeah, sure enough.
4:01:26
Speaker 2: He threw it out in the atmosphere, launched let go
4:01:29
Speaker 2: of the bike, landing on his back handlebar, hit him
4:01:31
Speaker 2: right in the tape. Oh yep. I had a catherter
4:01:36
Speaker 2: for a long time. So the last time shatowed my pelvis,
4:01:39
Speaker 2: which we already had talked about earlier in the show,
4:01:43
Speaker 2: and I was had to race cars, and I had
4:01:46
Speaker 2: a bag and a tube that went into my bladder
4:01:50
Speaker 2: because they actually had the urethra, so it doesn't close shut.
4:01:54
Speaker 2: There's basically a stick a tube down there and that
4:01:56
Speaker 2: just stays so and you go racing with that. I
4:02:00
Speaker 2: was racing with that and the bag. Nice.
4:02:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, sounds kind of convenient. I mean, it's not anything
4:02:05
Speaker 6: you want to go through, but like just changing out bags,
4:02:09
Speaker 6: you never have to get up at night. But someday
4:02:13
Speaker 6: I'm the thing, man, I hope I have I need
4:02:15
Speaker 6: the bag out here. What is your relationship like with
4:02:18
Speaker 6: Knoxville Jackass. I know you guys have done a lot
4:02:20
Speaker 6: of stuff together, but Johnny, you guys' relationships are I mean,
4:02:24
Speaker 6: your careers are very similar. Like you guys are doing
4:02:27
Speaker 6: stunts and stuff like that. You're much more tactical than
4:02:29
Speaker 6: these gentlemen from Jackass. The difference was Jackass knew they
4:02:34
Speaker 6: were going to crash before they started. We thought we
4:02:37
Speaker 6: weren't before we started.
4:02:38
Speaker 2: Got you so, but yeah, No. Knoxville helped a lot
4:02:42
Speaker 2: with the Evil and Evil Special and he he's like, Hey,
4:02:45
Speaker 2: I'm talking to Matt Hoffman and these guys. We're gonna
4:02:47
Speaker 2: do some stunts and trigger gum, can you do anything?
4:02:50
Speaker 2: And I sent him like twenty pages. Two weeks later,
4:02:52
Speaker 2: we're pitching something to MTV and uh, the worst pitch ever, well,
4:02:58
Speaker 2: not worse, maybe it worked. We had tried to pitch
4:03:01
Speaker 2: TV shows forever and never even got a seat at
4:03:03
Speaker 2: the table. Knoxville walks in. He's got this big wad
4:03:06
Speaker 2: of duct tape and a wick in the MTV studios,
4:03:10
Speaker 2: fire the whole and throw. When you see Knoxville throw,
4:03:13
Speaker 2: you probably think it's something like it's gonna explode. People
4:03:15
Speaker 2: were diving off the off the seats and couches and
4:03:17
Speaker 2: stuff like just literally just went in cold. It was great.
4:03:22
Speaker 2: He walked up and he's like, I got this. So
4:03:24
Speaker 2: Jeff Germaine, who's producer. Yeah, not a very good speaker actually,
4:03:30
Speaker 2: but they're like, so here, you got a new show,
4:03:32
Speaker 2: Knoxville Tremaine. What do you got. He's like, it's like jackass,
4:03:35
Speaker 2: but they don't do drugs. And that was the whole
4:03:39
Speaker 2: pitch and we got to show.
4:03:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I.
4:03:43
Speaker 2: Love that, but no, to be fair, uh PJ clap
4:03:48
Speaker 2: Giant Knoxville one of the most genuine good dudes you'd
4:03:51
Speaker 2: ever meet in your entire life. Anytime any of our
4:03:55
Speaker 2: crew gets hurt or something, and even you know last week,
4:03:58
Speaker 2: uh and we lost rowdy huge for NASCAR and everything,
4:04:02
Speaker 2: and you know, within an hour of finding out, Knoxville
4:04:08
Speaker 2: not even a text to call, hey man, how you doing?
4:04:11
Speaker 2: Like just one of the few humans that genuinely, I
4:04:17
Speaker 2: shouldn't say few humans, but most people are afraid of
4:04:20
Speaker 2: conflict and whatever he's he cares. He cares a lot.
4:04:23
Speaker 2: He's very for all the stuff and all the crazy
4:04:25
Speaker 2: standigans and all the people that he gets hurt. Yeah,
4:04:28
Speaker 2: he uh, he's got a big heart. That's awesome.
4:04:31
Speaker 3: Should we hit him with the BLQ go ahead?
4:04:35
Speaker 6: This is probably the most difficult question of the entire podcast.
4:04:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, Travis, you know people would do anything for an
4:04:40
Speaker 3: ice cold bud light. What is something that Travis Pastrana
4:04:44
Speaker 3: would do anything for?
4:04:45
Speaker 2: Can't say? Family, can't say what? Can't say? Family? Would
4:04:49
Speaker 2: you do anything for a dollar? A dollar? Dollar? Bet
4:04:53
Speaker 2: a dollar out of my opponent's pocket? Anybody's a fact.
4:04:58
Speaker 2: It's the perfect answer. Yeah, you you nailed it because
4:05:01
Speaker 2: a lot of guys get that questions like, oh, I
4:05:02
Speaker 2: don't know what about this national championship something like that,
4:05:05
Speaker 2: but a dollar bets perfect out of it, but I
4:05:07
Speaker 2: want it out of their pocket. Yeah, I learned. I
4:05:12
Speaker 2: think who said the best was Michael Jordan. He goes,
4:05:18
Speaker 2: he was, you know, betting tens of thousands over here.
4:05:20
Speaker 2: He comes back to bet fives over here and they're like,
4:05:23
Speaker 2: why would you do that? Because it's a dollar out
4:05:24
Speaker 2: of your pocket. I'm that asshole every day.
4:05:27
Speaker 6: I'm willing to make you. I would like to make
4:05:29
Speaker 6: you a bet. I'll bet you one dollar. You can't
4:05:32
Speaker 6: do a triple backflip on one of those electric bikes.
4:05:36
Speaker 2: Think about it. What's the timeline? What do you How
4:05:40
Speaker 2: long do you need? Four months? Four months?
4:05:43
Speaker 3: Shake shake on June first, October thirty. First, I'm airbag landing.
4:06:01
Speaker 2: I will not go to a dirt landing because I'm trying.
4:06:03
Speaker 6: All right, Well, first off, is your wife gonna be pissed?
4:06:05
Speaker 6: Do we make this better? Or does your wife kind
4:06:07
Speaker 6: of a stage?
4:06:07
Speaker 2: He understands me. She's also she won't be mad at you.
4:06:10
Speaker 6: So hey, by spooket Ober, Yes, Halloween.

Speaker 6: Oh yeah, tell us about that.
4:06:30
Speaker 2: All right? You guys absolutely get in NASCAR.
4:06:32

Speaker 2: I think is yeah, pretty good. So you guys there's
4:06:40
Speaker 2: this guy Clidas McFarlane, them Soles. I felt like I've
4:06:46
Speaker 2: done a good job my whole life of making a
4:06:48
Speaker 2: living follow my passion, not following anything that anyone rational
4:06:52
Speaker 2: would follow as far as money or sponsors or what.
4:06:54
Speaker 2: Just what do you wake up for and you can't
4:06:57
Speaker 2: live without and freaking go for it no matter how
4:07:00
Speaker 2: irresponsible it might seem, It's probably gonna be what makes
4:07:03
Speaker 2: you the happiest. Cletus McFarlane has me beat times ten
4:07:07
Speaker 2: on this. He started his own track. He invested the
4:07:09
Speaker 2: wrong time when covid hit figured out a way to
4:07:12
Speaker 2: make it freaking work. Has this following that's bigger than
4:07:15
Speaker 2: pretty much any body in motorsport, honestly, and he has
4:07:20
Speaker 2: so much freaking fun. And there's an event that he has.
4:07:23
Speaker 2: It's two drivers. It is a two point four hours
4:07:26
Speaker 2: of La Mullets. Last year I did with my wife
4:07:29
Speaker 2: and I was so proud of her. She stayed on
4:07:30
Speaker 2: the lead lap and that my car was everyone else's car.
4:07:32
Speaker 2: The tires were worn out. She was like cold trickle.
4:07:35
Speaker 2: Once he found out that, you know, kept the tires good,
4:07:37
Speaker 2: and she took out the leader like three or four time.
4:07:39
Speaker 2: Every time the leaders come by by accident, she'd take
4:07:41
Speaker 2: him out and kept on lead lap. Was great, gave
4:07:43
Speaker 2: me a good car. But so here you go. You're
4:07:47
Speaker 2: racing Crown Vics. They pull them, they buy them the
4:07:51
Speaker 2: week before, they put them in number. They just random
4:07:54
Speaker 2: number order, so you don't know if your car is
4:07:56
Speaker 2: going to be the best Crown VIC or the worst
4:07:58
Speaker 2: Crown VIC. They're all kind of suck in some way,
4:08:00
Speaker 2: shape or form. And you go out there and you
4:08:02
Speaker 2: have NASCAR drivers and indie car drivers, and there's even
4:08:06
Speaker 2: talking about F one drivers, and you got veterans, and
4:08:09
Speaker 2: you've got influencers, and you got all of these people. Right.
4:08:12
Speaker 2: Some people have no business driving. Some people are literally
4:08:16
Speaker 2: Tony Stoart drove this thing last year. Greg Biffle another
4:08:20
Speaker 2: one that unfortunately passed away this year, but he came
4:08:23
Speaker 2: out to all these A lot of these events you got.
4:08:27
Speaker 2: I mean, so Carson Hooseber will be there, You get
4:08:29
Speaker 2: to meet the guy that the legend seventy seven seventy seven,
4:08:33
Speaker 2: you have to. So you're basically saying this, Carl does this,
4:08:37
Speaker 2: he host it. I mean, it's hard to get an invite,
4:08:39
Speaker 2: but I think you guys are you guys are there?
4:08:41
Speaker 6: Man, So you're saying, you're saying to us that we
4:08:43
Speaker 6: need to go to Cletus's place and race against you
4:08:45
Speaker 6: in a handful of other gentlemen in some crownvix for
4:08:47
Speaker 6: two and a half hours.
4:08:49
Speaker 2: Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. That's another dollar
4:08:51
Speaker 2: bet right there is when does this happen? Because if
4:08:57
Speaker 2: it is the fall, we might be Yeah, it's on
4:09:00
Speaker 2: a Friday, though, is it? I don't know. Probably the
4:09:08
Speaker 2: fall Okay might have, but they do the Freedom five
4:09:11
Speaker 2: hundred as well. Freedom five hours a little more serious.
4:09:13
Speaker 2: It's single like the two point four hours. You have teams.
4:09:16
Speaker 2: But this is what's cool. You fly in in the morning,
4:09:19
Speaker 2: you literally show up at three pm. You spray paint
4:09:22
Speaker 2: your car, whatever car they give you. You go sign autographs,
4:09:26
Speaker 2: have fun with the crowd for like two hours while
4:09:28
Speaker 2: there's monster trucks and you can chest drawn and do
4:09:30
Speaker 2: drifts on all these freaking high power machines. And then
4:09:33
Speaker 2: you go race for two and a half hours. And
4:09:35
Speaker 2: then you go in the stands and you drink beer
4:09:37
Speaker 2: with all the crowd. Well, the crowd so cleanest doesn't
4:09:40
Speaker 2: even have to clean up or pay anyone to clean
4:09:41
Speaker 2: up the place because the crowd feels such an attachment
4:09:44
Speaker 2: to this it only fits like nine thousand people. With
4:09:47
Speaker 2: that nine thousand people will be there hanging out with
4:09:49
Speaker 2: all the drivers, drinking beer, having fun and cleaning this
4:09:53
Speaker 2: whole place up like it's like a family. Nine thousand family.
4:09:56
Speaker 2: It's really cool. That's in November. Yeah, all right, I see,
4:10:01
Speaker 2: you never know, you never know, you never know, Now,
4:10:04
Speaker 2: now do we each get a car? No, oh, so
4:10:07
Speaker 2: we're partners, well, or you can partner with somebody else,
4:10:10
Speaker 2: but you go to their pit stops so you can switch.
4:10:12
Speaker 2: There is one pit stop that's not really a pitstop,
4:10:14
Speaker 2: it's a it's a re rack. Now, if you guys
4:10:17
Speaker 2: are down lap.
4:10:18
Speaker 3: Because I'm assuming we both want to drive this thing.
4:10:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, one driver qualifies leman start, so the the
4:10:26
Speaker 2: guy that will basically run, will be the last guy
4:10:29
Speaker 2: to go. So the first person's job is to try
4:10:32
Speaker 2: to keep it on the lead lap and not damage
4:10:34
Speaker 2: the car, because whatever car you come back with after
4:10:36
Speaker 2: your you know, hour and a half a racing is
4:10:39
Speaker 2: what the other one will have to drive. Most people
4:10:41
Speaker 2: will put their best driver second.
4:10:44
Speaker 3: Not all people do, but that's your teammate. You got
4:10:47
Speaker 3: to switch after the first.
4:10:48
Speaker 2: So the teammate basically qualifies you, for lack of a
4:10:50
Speaker 2: better term, and puts you how many laps you are
4:10:52
Speaker 2: if you're on the lead lap or down a lap
4:10:54
Speaker 2: or down whatever. So if you've got a driver that's
4:10:56
Speaker 2: good enough to stay on the lead lap, and now
4:10:58
Speaker 2: mind you this Crown Vix guys like street Bike Tommy'll
4:11:01
Speaker 2: be running in the mix you know, it's not it's
4:11:03
Speaker 2: hard to go too much faster. So how fast are
4:11:05
Speaker 2: you going on these things? Whatever? Crown Vic goes wide open,
4:11:09
Speaker 2: all right, and these are just bought.
4:11:11
Speaker 3: You have no idea.
4:11:12
Speaker 6: There's no like mechanic working on these cars.
4:11:14
Speaker 2: They did add racing seats and harnesses because well some
4:11:19
Speaker 2: people got dinged up a little bit, okay, but yeah,
4:11:22
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's fantastic. Man, you just run this.
4:11:24
Speaker 2: Uh they can, but it's not. It's pretty safe.
4:11:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, I head of safety. So it's in Florida, just
4:11:33
Speaker 6: south of Tampa, just south of Tampa, November thirteenth. That
4:11:37
Speaker 6: would be sick, that would be unbelievable. It did the
4:11:40
Speaker 6: hard of football season.
4:11:41
Speaker 2: It is so much fun.
4:11:43
Speaker 6: It's a harder football season.
4:11:45
Speaker 2: There's truly no worst time, no worst time for us
4:11:48
Speaker 2: to do it. What's that? Who's Florida playing that week?
4:11:51
Speaker 2: Maybe we just go to a Florida game while we're
4:11:52
Speaker 2: down there.
4:11:54
Speaker 6: There's yeah, there's so many other variables that are going
4:11:57
Speaker 6: to take place.
4:11:58
Speaker 2: I feel like you bet me a dollar before you
4:11:59
Speaker 2: really knew if you could do it. I feel like
4:12:00
Speaker 2: that's that I did say. As our hands were leaving,
4:12:02
Speaker 2: we can run the film back and slow mo if
4:12:04
Speaker 2: we want. No, No, we had already made the bet.
4:12:07
Speaker 2: You cannot back up.
4:12:07
Speaker 6: That's true, and you'll just be finishing your triple backflip.
4:12:12
Speaker 3: Yes, that hour and a half, you're trying to not
4:12:18
Speaker 3: necessarily think, I mean, you do want to be in
4:12:20
Speaker 3: first place, but you're also trying to be strategic and
4:12:22
Speaker 3: bringing a clean car for the second drive.
4:12:24
Speaker 2: This is it night?
4:12:24
Speaker 6: What time is this race?
4:12:25
Speaker 3: Happened?
4:12:26
Speaker 2: This race generally starts around seven pm and goes to
4:12:29
Speaker 2: nine pm. We can make that, we can make that.
4:12:32
Speaker 6: This is getting more real now, Timmy's ef Yeah, do it?
4:12:37
Speaker 2: Oh, she don't have to be practice.
4:12:38
Speaker 3: You see one flipping over?
4:12:40
Speaker 2: Oh ship? Oh so you see the yellow car up there,
4:12:43
Speaker 2: that was my wife just flipped that. So that guy
4:12:45
Speaker 2: was that car. Yeah, well she had to stay on
4:12:48
Speaker 2: the lead lap somehow. She didn't really mean to. She
4:12:51
Speaker 2: just kind of she said, she said she was the
4:12:55
Speaker 2: most in the waist. So they stop. Well, when there's
4:13:02
Speaker 2: someone upside down, they generally stopped just to make sure
4:13:04
Speaker 2: everyone's okay. But if you're not upside down, they just
4:13:07
Speaker 2: kind of keep going. Who won last year? Oh so
4:13:09
Speaker 2: last year was Carson Josover and then Biffle, and then
4:13:12
Speaker 2: we came in third. I know it was pretty, but
4:13:17
Speaker 2: to be fair, I got into third, I was all
4:13:19
Speaker 2: excited and then I looked ahead and saw Greg Biffel
4:13:21
Speaker 2: and Carson Osber and was like, this is where my
4:13:25
Speaker 2: is where my route stops.
4:13:26
Speaker 6: You know that looks sick. That looks awesome. I'm gonna
4:13:29
Speaker 6: need that seat to be pushed back a little bit.
4:13:31
Speaker 2: Whoever that is? Cleatus is six seven? Oh you know what.
4:13:36
Speaker 6: The most disappointing thing about Cletuses, No one's gonna watch
4:13:39
Speaker 6: the show. The most disappointing thing about Cletuses.
4:13:42
Speaker 2: That's not his real name.
4:13:44
Speaker 6: And that broke my heart when I heard about Yeah, ar.
4:13:48
Speaker 3: I was going to say, because we were walking through
4:13:50
Speaker 3: believing that Kletus this was his.
4:13:52
Speaker 6: Name, This is him Cletus McFarlane. Lawrence, Oh no, Lawrence.
4:13:58
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
4:14:00
Speaker 6: Does Cletus compete or does he just throw the show?
4:14:02
Speaker 2: He's wanted a couple of times it's his own show,
4:14:04
Speaker 2: but he Cletus doesn't. I've seen him. I partner with
4:14:08
Speaker 2: him one time for the two point four hours la months.
4:14:10
Speaker 2: He always tries to get a Ringer and I failed
4:14:12
Speaker 2: because he literally we had the slowest car on the track.
4:14:15
Speaker 2: So it's not he. I mean sometimes I'll have a
4:14:17
Speaker 2: good car, but it's he's one of those assholes that
4:14:21
Speaker 2: is an honest asshole.
4:14:22
Speaker 6: Gotta love that. Yep, it's only that you'd appreciate. Yeah,
4:14:26
Speaker 6: we gotta make this work, man, that would be fun.
4:14:28
Speaker 2: That would kind of scared about flipping. No, it's chance
4:14:32
Speaker 2: that you flipping is really very rare. They had two
4:14:35
Speaker 2: rolls last year. But yeah, these guys, dang it, we'll
4:14:37
Speaker 2: just we'll just get up such a Ringer trophy too.
4:14:40
Speaker 2: Oh no, winner gets like a helicopter like something. Oh,
4:14:43
Speaker 2: I don't want a helicopter.
4:14:44
Speaker 3: I want that trophy.
4:14:45
Speaker 2: I want you know, you get the trophy like so
4:14:46
Speaker 2: I want to in the helicopter. I want a zero
4:14:49
Speaker 2: six Corvette when I want no way. Yeah, then we
4:14:53
Speaker 2: sold it, bought a used Corvette, did a jump with that,
4:14:56
Speaker 2: and then put an LS swap in my buddy's America van.
4:15:00
Speaker 2: We use our money very wisely.
4:15:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, we gotta we gotta practice, man, we gotta hit
4:15:04
Speaker 3: the cake.
4:15:05
Speaker 2: Second place gets nothing, though, gets nothing nothing for second,
4:15:10
Speaker 2: so you gotta take out everybody.
4:15:11
Speaker 6: You guys don't believe in participation trophies. Huh, you guys
4:15:14
Speaker 6: don't do it first or last, not first your last,
4:15:17
Speaker 6: no doubt. I think they had two muscle cars. It's
4:15:25
Speaker 6: always cool, it's dude.
4:15:27
Speaker 2: So for the Freedom five hundred and the two point
4:15:28
Speaker 2: four hours of the munths whatever they give out. So
4:15:30
Speaker 2: this yeah, this year was a hell. It was a
4:15:33
Speaker 2: plane for uh for the five Freedom five hundred a
4:15:36
Speaker 2: plane plane. But here's the deal. You gotta fly it
4:15:38
Speaker 2: or you got whatever vehicle they have. You got to
4:15:40
Speaker 2: drive it to your house so it doesn't have to
4:15:42
Speaker 2: leave that property. You can stay there as long as
4:15:43
Speaker 2: you want, whenever you get free time. So like Deacon
4:15:47
Speaker 2: had to get some of a pilot down no way
4:15:50
Speaker 2: because de can beat me this year, which was really
4:15:52
Speaker 2: horrible past three leafs ago.
4:15:53
Speaker 6: That's gotta be something.
4:15:56
Speaker 2: Do we know? Uh is you're doing it this year? Uh?
4:16:00
Speaker 2: Not one hundred percent, but I always making This is
4:16:02
Speaker 2: one of those events that is just so much freaking fun. Yeah,
4:16:06
Speaker 2: a lot of beer, you can I can usually get
4:16:10
Speaker 2: a spot.
4:16:11
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, and you're and you're telling us about this,
4:16:13
Speaker 6: saying we should do this, but we're not guaranteed.
4:16:15
Speaker 2: The spot not guaranteed, but I figured Cleans wanting to
4:16:18
Speaker 2: be a NASCAR and you guys having a pretty big
4:16:20
Speaker 2: word now in Nascar is gonna he would it would
4:16:22
Speaker 2: behoove him. It would behoove him nas leverage points, leverage
4:16:28
Speaker 2: points everywhere.
4:16:29
Speaker 11: That might be one of our most frequently commented things
4:16:33
Speaker 11: is to have clead us on racing with the boys.
4:16:35
Speaker 11: I've seen it hundreds of times.
