  Just coffee, first of all, Brianna, very good cold brew.
• 0:02
  We are recording. We have a guest.
• 0:04
  What's your double mic situation?
• 0:06
  Thank you. We're recording for two, 2, two
• 0:08
  different setups right now. So we got our guy a returning
• 0:12
  guest. Absolute legend, saddle expert,
• 0:17
  privilege to bow hunter. Well.
• 0:20
  Howdy. Happy to be back.
• 0:22
  Well, happy to be here for the first time.
• 0:23
  Happy to be back in y'all's presence.
• 0:25
  Yes, I'm. Very.
• 0:29
  I couldn't be happier. I had a good time out there in
• 0:32
  Hawaii. We got successfully got a goat
• 0:35
  and had a lot of fun shooting at the range, and we're going to
• 0:39
  actually do some more shooting tomorrow, but this time we're
• 0:43
  competing 1V1 and indoor. Your first time ever shooting an
• 0:49
  indoor Vegas round. Yeah, never.
• 0:52
  Because in like in Hawaii, there is no, the real estate is such
• 0:56
  at a premium. Yeah, there's no range.
• 0:58
  There's nowhere with where you can shoot over like 10 yards in
• 1:02
  Hawaii, like inside, like at least not on Oahu.
• 1:05
  Yeah, inside. Indoors, right?
• 1:07
  Yeah, You have that one. Is it still down South?
• 1:10
  It was like under construction or something when we were there
• 1:12
  in the summer. It's like, I don't know how to
• 1:15
  describe it other than it's down on the South.
• 1:17
  You talking South end of Hawaii? Talking in like a shop.
• 1:20
  No, it's just a range. It's I think it's more of like a
• 1:23
  gun range, but they also had archery because I saw when I was
• 1:28
  working out there, I saw like bags for archery.
• 1:31
  You know. How to describe It's like across
• 1:33
  from a beach? Oh, that really narrows it down.
• 1:36
  I mean, there's. One, if you drive like the east
• 1:38
  side all the way up like towards if you drive up like Sandy's
• 1:42
  beach and go past that, there is a rifle range which is also has
• 1:46
  like a stepchild like archery section.
• 1:50
  But the wind is crazy. Oh dude, yeah.
• 1:53
  I bet like it's it's. It was windy out there.
• 1:56
  It's, I'm not exaggerating. If I had to put like a
• 2:00
  multiplication factor, it times 3 at least.
• 2:03
  Really. Yeah.
• 2:04
  Jesus, Pete. Yeah.
• 2:06
  So dude, there's a lot we can talk about right now.
• 2:12
  Well, before we get into it, yeah.
• 2:13
  Can I just give you guys your flowers like you guys have?
• 2:17
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a term of a deer.
• 2:20
  I have. I have.
• 2:22
  Sheep. There's always give it up stuff
• 2:25
  like it cut men like it's OK, all right, OK.
• 2:29
  It's a term of a deer, but got it.
• 2:31
  I've caught on. I was wondering if that was in
• 2:34
  the brain the whole time. I don't think so the.
• 2:36
  Camera. But verbal flowers, right, You
• 2:39
  guys, you guys been getting after it went from I think when
• 2:43
  we started talking, you guys were like 10K subscribers over
• 2:47
  100K. So bravo.
• 2:50
  Hey, you guys put the battery like I was not on TikTok at all
• 2:54
  when I met you guys and then when you propose you're like
• 2:58
  hey, this started printing like instantly on TikTok overnight.
• 3:02
  I was like why don't I have a TikTok?
• 3:03
  And then from that point till today it hit probably by the
• 3:07
  time I leave this trip we're on 14K That's great.
• 3:10
  So that's literally just because y'all came out to the island.
• 3:13
  No flowers to y'all. And that's only seven months,
• 3:16
  right? So think about that.
• 3:17
  That's that's an average of about 2000 per month from zero
• 3:20
  and. Instagram doubled because then I
• 3:24
  was making vertical related, like vertical specific content,
• 3:29
  not like hey, just trying to crop it in and make it work
• 3:32
  enough. And so then that doubled as
• 3:33
  well. Yeah.
• 3:34
  So, yeah, and, and, and that's what I always suggest to folks
• 3:38
  is like the more that you can spread your content around to
• 3:44
  various platforms. I mean, you have 4 big ones that
• 3:47
  there's no reason you shouldn't be on Facebook, Instagram,
• 3:49
  TikTok and YouTube. Also Snapchat, that one's tough.
• 3:53
  I'm having a tough time with it, but I'm still putting stuff on
• 3:56
  there because I feel as if you are always at risk of getting
• 4:03
  hacked, getting your account taken down, getting maybe a
• 4:08
  platform just falls off like Myspace did.
• 4:11
  But if you have four or five of them built up, now, if you get,
• 4:17
  say, my Instagram got hacked tomorrow and I no longer have
• 4:20
  it, I can rebuild it much faster because I have three other
• 4:24
  platforms built up. Fair.
• 4:26
  Whereas if that's all of my eggs and then it goes away, you are
• 4:31
  cooked. So for me, it's actually a
• 4:34
  security measure. Yeah.
• 4:36
  And then when you go to brands, and we've been blessed to have
• 4:39
  some pretty cool sponsors that we work with.
• 4:41
  But like, brands love it too. You say, hey, look, we have
• 4:45
  these numbers in five places, not just one, you know, So I
• 4:51
  think not only is it cool that you've grown the TikTok and
• 4:54
  doubled the, the the Instagram, but you were already doing
• 4:58
  YouTube for a long time. You know, I'd seen you on
• 5:01
  YouTube for, for forever and as like you're crushing it, but now
• 5:05
  you're have three spots rather than one.
• 5:08
  It's dope. Yeah, yeah, got a good, a better
• 5:11
  workflow. I do have to attack YouTube
• 5:14
  more, I think, because it got TikTok kind of got a little bit
• 5:18
  more addicting because instant gratification like and then I
• 5:23
  thought everybody was getting these views.
• 5:25
  And then so when I started seeing people come, well, you
• 5:27
  know, you know how it goes. You see if you scroll how to
• 5:29
  grow, how to grow if you're stuck in 200 view jail this that
• 5:32
  in a third. And then I'm looking at my views
• 5:35
  and they're like instantly 10,012 thousand.
• 5:39
  So then I started putting more momentum into that, but I need
• 5:43
  to kind of like you said, I need to diversify.
• 5:46
  I need to keep My Portfolio diversified.
• 5:48
  How about that? A perfect example, right?
• 5:50
  Everybody's freaking out this weekend.
• 5:52
  What happened? Ice Storm, a server on TikTok
• 5:56
  took it now. And so like you post a video and
• 5:58
  it's stuck at 0 views for like 2 days.
• 6:01
  And now everybody's like, oh, what?
• 6:03
  What do I do now? My only platform is falling
• 6:05
  apart. So yeah, and it's and it's
• 6:08
  especially being careful with the newer platforms that aren't
• 6:12
  proven in a stable. They just went through a cell.
• 6:14
  So the dude who owns Lanai, Larry Ellison.
• 6:17
  So if you want to go hunt axis deer, you're on his little
• 6:20
  island. Like he owns probably 90% of the
• 6:22
  island. He's the king of Lanai.
• 6:24
  He owns the only place you can get groceries for other than
• 6:26
  hunting. He owns the only gas station on
• 6:29
  on there. Well, he just bought TikTok
• 6:32
  Oracle, right? Or the, I guess at least the US
• 6:35
  arm of it. And that merger has been a
• 6:38
  little shaky. Whereas YouTube is kind of like
• 6:43
  a oligarch. It's a, it's a monarch.
• 6:45
  It's it's, it's not going anywhere.
• 6:47
  I have said this for a long, long time.
• 6:50
  I am of the belief that you have Netflix and YouTube that are
• 6:57
  fighting to or basically one of them I think eventually will
• 7:01
  essentially monopolize the content space because look at
• 7:05
  you got YouTube that now has YouTube TV that they have for
• 7:09
  quite some time. YouTube TV is money.
• 7:12
  I was in that air flying in the national championship last week.
• 7:15
  YouTube. Right facts.
• 7:17
  YouTube TV is money, they have movies, they got all sorts of
• 7:22
  stuff and user generated content which crushes.
• 7:26
  And then Netflix, you got top tier shows, old shows, live
• 7:30
  sports, now all sorts of different stuff, documentaries.
• 7:34
  And I think that each one of them probably if they were to
• 7:38
  add the other would be that would be it'd be a wrap, right?
• 7:42
  So I think that's why you're seeing each one of them Add all
• 7:45
  these different elements till eventually they have it all bro.
• 7:49
  Could you imagine if Netflix created like a?
• 7:51
  User generated section. I've been saying forever.
• 7:54
  I think they should, right? I don't think they will though.
• 7:56
  I think they're it's kind of like when you say Myspace, like
• 8:01
  Netflix was the OG to to break the ground into digital TVI
• 8:09
  guess you could say like they started with the DVDs and red
• 8:12
  box, then she get the red box DVD at the gas station and then
• 8:16
  everything got flipped upside down when they went to digital
• 8:19
  and you no longer had to go pick up a DVD from.
• 8:22
  That was a wild time that my children don't understand.
• 8:25
  Yeah. Let's do no way.
• 8:27
  You actually have to go pick up the like, I go crazy.
• 8:29
  No blockbuster existed and I got VCRS.
• 8:33
  Let's be asking kids about. Please rewind what?
• 8:36
  So true. Rewind it before returning.
• 8:40
  But they were like the first to do that, at least to my
• 8:43
  knowledge. Like the others may have been
• 8:45
  coming around but like Netflix did it.
• 8:47
  But to me, they're going to be the ones that if any digital
• 8:52
  platform falls off 1st or gets bought off, it's going to be
• 8:56
  Netflix because they're so like niched into movie and TV show
• 9:04
  outside of that. Well, no, not anymore, because
• 9:06
  they're adding all these live sports.
• 9:08
  Stuff. So I'm interested to see where
• 9:09
  that goes though, because like YouTube TV already does that,
• 9:13
  like Peacock does that, Amazon Prime does that so well, I don't
• 9:20
  know if Prime does or not. Prime has live sports.
• 9:22
  You got Thursday Night Football, Yeah.
• 9:24
  So I see that I don't watch sports.
• 9:26
  I couldn't tell y'all, but they've already been doing it.
• 9:31
  So I feel like now Netflix is behind the game as far as the
• 9:35
  rest of them are, but I think they have those.
• 9:37
  Netflix would get bought before. Like Amazon Prime's not going
• 9:40
  anywhere, it's owned by Amazon. YouTube's not going anywhere,
• 9:42
  it's owned by Google. Like those are the two heaviest
• 9:45
  hitters. Oh, definitely they're asking to
• 9:47
  be owned by. So I just think Netflix probably
• 9:50
  financially wouldn't even have the game to go buy something
• 9:53
  else. They could keep trying to grow
• 9:56
  but also this nonsense they put in about X amount of TV's you
• 9:59
  can be logged into ruined it for me.
• 10:02
  Ruined Netflix. Yeah, but that was a smart move
• 10:04
  for them. But my point is, like, I think
• 10:07
  your idea, I've said that many times, I'm like, what if Netflix
• 10:11
  had, you know, like a home screen and then at the top of
• 10:16
  the home screen had like a toggle between like, I don't
• 10:20
  know what you would call it, like studio created content and
• 10:24
  a user generated content. And you let people like us who
• 10:27
  do YouTube, maybe they would accept not accept everybody.
• 10:30
  Maybe they would. But dude, if you could put user
• 10:33
  generated content on Netflix and have a whole wing on there or
• 10:37
  have vice versa on YouTube, have a wing at the top that takes you
• 10:41
  over and is like all the movies, all the shows, all the stuff.
• 10:45
  Like I think that would really. And then like a sports 1, like 3
• 10:49
  sections, sports, you know, high end commercial TV shows and
• 10:54
  movies and then user generated content.
• 10:57
  I think the first one to like very cleanly integrate all three
• 11:02
  of those. Well, it's game over.
• 11:04
  But to your point, Netflix and YouTube, they're not going
• 11:08
  anywhere. YouTube is a is a unique
• 11:11
  platform because it's heavily used by every single age demo.
• 11:16
  Yeah, kids, teenagers, old people, everybody watches you.
• 11:21
  And it's the biggest like searching this, Google's number
• 11:24
  one, right? And then YouTube's the next
• 11:25
  search engine. And I think I think that's where
• 11:28
  the great power struggle is, right?
• 11:29
  Because you think that's where TikTok is trying to take a piece
• 11:32
  of that pie. They're trying to Even so I
• 11:35
  could see what I'm getting paid for on TikTok if I put out a how
• 11:39
  to on TikTok, because let me finish that thought.
• 11:43
  If I put out a how to on TikTok, it makes a good amount of money,
• 11:47
  right? Like actually more than YouTube.
• 11:49
  If I if I have a like successful video on YouTube versus TikTok,
• 11:52
  I get paid more on TikTok. But it's if it's like something
• 11:57
  of substance. I think what they did at first
• 12:01
  was everybody get in post all your just post junk content,
• 12:05
  just post. That's why you would see
• 12:06
  everybody. Hey, no, just oh, every time you
• 12:08
  open up the app just post to now a transition of educational how
• 12:12
  to something that's like to make them more legitimized.
• 12:16
  Because before they were just a doom scrolling.
• 12:19
  Just everybody, yes, flooded and post and post.
• 12:21
  So I see like so you'll see like a really big creator on TikTok
• 12:26
  post like TikTok is going to crap.
• 12:30
  It's not even worth it anymore. And they'll show what they made
• 12:32
  and they'll have like a million subscribers and I'm at 14 not
• 12:36
  even. And it'll be the same pay
• 12:38
  because of they're just they they haven't made the shift from
• 12:43
  posting, you know, just junk content, you know, rage bait to
• 12:48
  actually something of substance. And I think it's that it's kind
• 12:51
  of like Blockbuster and what all these other companies fell
• 12:54
  victim to. They don't know how to shift
• 12:57
  when the times change, right, like mastering the shift or
• 13:00
  mastering change in like capitalizing on it.
• 13:03
  So that that's what I think is that until your point about
• 13:06
  Netflix, I think Netflix will be fine because Netflix versus
• 13:11
  YouTube TV. YouTube TV is expensive.
• 13:14
  It is. It's like 8090 dollars, Yeah,
• 13:17
  for I think Netflix you're paying like 20 bucks Max, I
• 13:19
  think. Yeah.
• 13:21
  So. And that's for like 2 or 3
• 13:22
  lines. It's just less barrier to entry
• 13:24
  to get get on Netflix. On Netflix you don't have again,
• 13:28
  to my knowledge, but like you don't have the the add-ons.
• 13:33
  So like Amazon prime, I go there and I find a show I like.
• 13:39
  Oh, I don't have HBO on my Amazon prime.
• 13:42
  Let me pay the extra 299 a month.
• 13:44
  Now. Now there's, you know, ABC or I
• 13:47
  love what's the the British channel, not PBS BC something I
• 13:56
  don't know. But anyways it has like old
• 13:57
  timer show. You watch it black and white
• 14:01
  too. It's like new shows, but it's
• 14:03
  everything. Like everything is very old.
• 14:06
  James knows I love that. But that's another 1499 a month
• 14:11
  and before you know it, you're 1199.
• 14:12
  Amazon Prime is now $55 a month or whatever and then Netflix,
• 14:20
  like you just watch whatever you want on Netflix.
• 14:23
  You know, it's not like or there's the rent or free version
• 14:26
  or on Amazon. That's fair.
• 14:28
  That actually gets on my nerves. I sometimes I'm like, oh, OK,
• 14:32
  399 month and then you don't realize that you've bought like
• 14:35
  7399 SA month this month. Listen or.
• 14:38
  And I'm like, you lied to me because what I what what's
• 14:41
  coming out of my account for this service?
• 14:43
  I feel like I should have everything on the service but
• 14:45
  that's not the real you nickel and diamond me like like with
• 14:48
  like a knock off freaking airline.
• 14:50
  Yeah, and that and that's the cool part about Netflix is they
• 14:53
  don't have that on stuff. I mean, it's kind of like
• 14:56
  whatever is in there is you. Know what you're paying for.
• 14:58
  Exactly bro. I feel like not just.
• 15:01
  I'm sorry for the abrupt but I feel like that plaque right
• 15:05
  there should be here. What are y'all doing right now?
• 15:08
  Hold on there, Hold. On it's like hidden behind my
• 15:11
  bow. And I need to touch that before
• 15:13
  I leave, right? Like I need to.
• 15:15
  I need to be, yeah, like freshly rejuvenated.
• 15:19
  You know what? I'll move it.
• 15:20
  I I agree with you. It's kind of a goofy spot and my
• 15:23
  bow was not that bow. I didn't even have that bow.
• 15:26
  So like, I just now hung it out, but but yeah.
• 15:30
  I will say I wish that they hadn't shrunk the size of it.
• 15:33
  I just feel like it's the first thing you earn from YouTube, you
• 15:37
  know? Like it's that plaque.
• 15:39
  You don't get anything. Oh it.
• 15:40
  Was bigger before. It used to be a little bigger,
• 15:42
  not quite double, but it was a lot bigger.
• 15:45
  If you watch there's because I was looking for like frame ideas
• 15:49
  or whatnot for like how to display it and a lot of podcast
• 15:53
  studios will display theirs and like, like it should be, you
• 15:56
  know, but not that that's for the podcast, but the sun then
• 16:01
  all the sun and on YouTube pops up like the different, the old
• 16:04
  verse, the new of that frame. And it was a lot bigger before,
• 16:09
  which I just feel like it's the first thing you struggled to get
• 16:12
  to like 100,000 like that's a lot of a lot of time.
• 16:17
  And then it's smaller. It's like, give me the giant.
• 16:19
  It's not even the first barrier, though.
• 16:21
  The first barrier is getting 1000 subscribers, right?
• 16:24
  And then getting 4000 watch like the video you post.
• 16:27
  And it's like, I'll be happy if they had 100 views then to give
• 16:31
  me A to to. I'm bro.
• 16:33
  When I get to 100K, yeah, I'm going to need you know what?
• 16:36
  I'm going to make a replica. Thankfully in my job we have a
• 16:40
  machine shop. Something is going to happen.
• 16:44
  You'll get one when you hit 100K.
• 16:45
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 16:46
  But you know, YouTube, the game changed when Shorts came out.
• 16:51
  It really changed because getting to 1000 subscribers was
• 16:55
  no longer hard as hard when that happened.
• 16:58
  But the watch time was still really tough or, but like before
• 17:02
  Shorts and it was really hard to get 1000 subscribers at all.
• 17:07
  Like that was the subscribers was the tough part.
• 17:10
  Then it became the watch time was the tough part getting
• 17:13
  subscribers. Subscribers are much easier with
• 17:15
  shorts as an option. But I think it's great to have
• 17:19
  shorts and long form content. I think that was a wise move by
• 17:23
  YouTube and I love to do both. Like I'm proud of our shorts and
• 17:27
  I'm also proud of our long form videos.
• 17:30
  You know, I when they first came out, I was like kind of a hater
• 17:34
  like, oh, why are they doing shorts?
• 17:36
  Like that's, that's wack. But like, I don't think it is.
• 17:39
  I think it's smart. You know it's.
• 17:42
  Smart that both, but I did not right away.
• 17:44
  I wish I did but. You were pretty close because I
• 17:46
  remember like a year like, like happened that you gained like it
• 17:50
  was thousands and thousands and thousands of subscribers and it
• 17:53
  was in like a month's time span. It was like in late August when
• 17:57
  you were on an Elk concert and he was no matter what he was
• 18:01
  still doing, he was either a short or too short. 2A day it
• 18:04
  was all I could do because there wasn't enough service to upload
• 18:07
  full length videos so I had never done a short and I told
• 18:11
  myself all right I can't do the long form and at the time I was
• 18:15
  posting weekly but now I couldn't post for a month.
• 18:19
  So I said rather than do nothing when I'm in my tree stand
• 18:22
  because I was hunting a tree stand a lot, I can at least go
• 18:26
  watch an old video screen, record sections, cut them on a
• 18:30
  splice, and then upload shorts. And I'll do that twice a day the
• 18:33
  whole time I'm here. That's smart.
• 18:35
  And I want to say, yeah, I think we gained like 20,000 Subs or
• 18:39
  something. That's.
• 18:40
  Super smart. We are back after a quick
• 18:42
  hiatus, a quick break. A bio break.
• 18:44
  Yeah, it was nice. Union mandated break, you know,
• 18:48
  government break. But but yeah, man, shoot, I
• 18:54
  like, I like growing different platforms.
• 18:56
  That's fun. And archery's fun, you know.
• 18:59
  And are you still shooting the same setup?
• 19:02
  Yeah, am I even allowed to do concert anymore?
• 19:06
  Yeah. You're like tough shoots cause
• 19:09
  yeah, the lift is a few years old.
• 19:11
  So I'm like, at what point do I need to buy something else to
• 19:15
  still be in, like in the cloak, Yeah.
• 19:17
  Nah, you're good. Do it.
• 19:19
  It's just like I'm getting close to, I'm getting close to
• 19:23
  retirement, so and Crystal sending me these houses in
• 19:28
  Zillow. So it's like I need to, I need
• 19:32
  to lock in for a second. Yeah, what I'm hoping is, well,
• 19:37
  we'll go there. Like what I'm hoping is
• 19:38
  eventually like the income will be like the new bow and stuff
• 19:41
  like that will be such a drop in the bucket for discretionary
• 19:44
  income that it it no longer feels irresponsible for me to
• 19:48
  get a new one every year. And I've always said, dude, I
• 19:50
  don't think you'd need a new bow every year.
• 19:53
  I think like every five maybe. But I mean, I dude, before I did
• 19:57
  archery, you know, more prevalently for my life, dude, I
• 20:02
  would shoot the same that bow right there, a bow tech
• 20:04
  experience. I it has a new set of limbs on
• 20:07
  it, But I mean I haunted with that bow till 20. 18 no probably
• 20:16
  2019. So I haunted with that and it's
• 20:18
  a 2013 So I haunted with that same bow for like 6 years and I
• 20:22
  didn't even switch out of it until Bruce from the bow and
• 20:25
  arrow shop got me into a bow tech SR-350 for like a very good
• 20:31
  deal. Had he not have done that I
• 20:33
  would have kept shooting it. So I'm like, dude, like you do
• 20:36
  not need a new bow every year. Like the technology is so good
• 20:41
  in the bows now that I always suggest to people, if you, if
• 20:43
  you don't have a ton of funds or whatever and you're shooting,
• 20:48
  you know, whatever, a bow that's 15 years old, just go on eBay
• 20:52
  and buy a flagship that's two years old and you're friggin
• 20:56
  getting it for so much cheaper. And the technology is basically
• 20:59
  the exact same or very close to the current flagship.
• 21:03
  The speeds aren't going to be any different.
• 21:05
  The brace height, the axle to axle, they don't change all that
• 21:08
  much. Now if you look at a bow from
• 21:10
  2015 to 2026, then there will be a bigger gap right between the
• 21:17
  the bow 1510 years later. But every three years, like
• 21:23
  there's not that big of a gap. I get back into like competing
• 21:27
  and we'll see. Like we kind of talked about it
• 21:30
  earlier. I'm a very, very competitive
• 21:32
  person. That's why like if I start
• 21:34
  playing, I can't play like Madden or anything because I the
• 21:38
  the children will be behind you like listening to me talk so
• 21:42
  much track like as soon because I, my uncles would we would play
• 21:47
  Madden and they were he would use the middle linebacker and
• 21:50
  like he everything I would throw, he were intercepted.
• 21:53
  So I'm like, now I have to get that skill.
• 21:55
  So when it comes back on and these kids are playing and they
• 21:57
  start talking trash, like, well, I will give it to a 13 year old.
• 22:02
  And then, you know, you hurt their feelings because they'll
• 22:04
  be like, oh, so you, you don't hear arguing with a 13 year old.
• 22:08
  I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no. You knew you were 13 when you
• 22:10
  said what you said to me. Yeah, I'm not going to repeat
• 22:13
  some of the stuff that they have said.
• 22:14
  But you knew you were 13 and you don't realize, see you these
• 22:18
  kids don't realize that we grew up like if you walk past the
• 22:22
  lunch room table and something was a little off on your
• 22:24
  clothes, you getting roasted. So you had it was like an
• 22:27
  Olympic sport in my high school to be able to joke back and
• 22:30
  forth. So they're not, they're just
• 22:32
  used to saying like outrageous stuff online.
• 22:35
  And that'd be enough to break somebody down.
• 22:36
  I'm like, no, no, no, no. We, we went back and forth.
• 22:40
  And then you had to show up to school the next day.
• 22:42
  And then there was no hiding. There was no safe space,
• 22:45
  nothing. All that ran was tough talk
• 22:47
  about I am very competitive and though I am on this old bow, if
• 22:52
  I get to Virginia and the competitive juices start flowing
• 22:56
  and we start shooting and then I'm like I can do a little bit
• 22:59
  better if this, if that, then who knows that I may be back
• 23:04
  into the every single year having a bow.
• 23:07
  That was a long Kanye rant to say that I.
• 23:09
  Loved it. It makes it easier to add it
• 23:12
  when just one person talks. So I love it.
• 23:15
  Yeah, yeah, no, I I, I agree. I'm super competitive.
• 23:21
  I enjoy competing, but I also love having fun.
• 23:24
  So I'm one of those guys who I want to win every time.
• 23:27
  But if I don't and as long like I'm still going to have a good
• 23:30
  fun like I can shoot terrible. I'll still be in a good mood
• 23:33
  having having the most fun, but I of course want to always win
• 23:38
  or do well. I think I think competition is
• 23:41
  good, especially as long as you're not letting it destroy
• 23:44
  your whole day. If you're like have a off day or
• 23:47
  what have you, but we do have a PlayStation one right there, so
• 23:49
  we could we could mix it up. Dude, you know, PS1 baby, come
• 23:54
  on. Oh, that's classic.
• 23:56
  That is a classic dude. That thing might be worth like
• 23:58
  50 bucks on eBay right now. It's probably more than nourish.
• 24:02
  Yeah, you might. Yeah, it's freaking got cool
• 24:04
  stickers. Oh.
• 24:05
  Wait, hold on, hold on. That was a core memory on lots.
• 24:08
  Yeah, which one? The little, the freaking memory.
• 24:11
  Memory. Like, yeah, I wanted a memory.
• 24:13
  Yo, that's crazy. One MB, one MB, the one MB.
• 24:22
  And this was expensive, bro. I didn't have one.
• 24:24
  So like any game that I wanted to beat, I had to try to run
• 24:27
  through. And so I'm like, I'm delirious,
• 24:30
  like shutting my brain down, staying up almost two days like
• 24:34
  a like I'm on meth trying to get into the game because once it's
• 24:37
  over, it's over so far. Don't turn off the Don't turn
• 24:40
  off the PlayStation. So fun fact, I I never actually
• 24:44
  owned video game system growing up until that one, but it was a
• 24:50
  hand me down from a buddy that like, I want to say maybe he had
• 24:54
  APS like got the PS2 and then gave or maybe even the three and
• 24:59
  then gave us that. We're like, yo, we're in
• 25:02
  business, dude. Like we just weren't gaming.
• 25:05
  We were growing up bike riding or shooting bows or hunting or
• 25:08
  playing baseball. And I'm, I'm, I'm stoked on
• 25:12
  that. Like I never was a gamer, but it
• 25:14
  is fun every once in a while to fire up the.
• 25:15
  PS1, it was Friday night for us, yeah, Blockbuster.
• 25:20
  So Blockbuster on Friday night was you go in there, you get a a
• 25:24
  movie. Sorry, mom and dad.
• 25:26
  Mom would be like they'd be like hell, you got this rental fee.
• 25:29
  Mom's like, I'll put something on it.
• 25:32
  How much are you going to put on?
• 25:33
  Can I put 5 bucks on it? 5 bucks on the on the late fee
• 25:36
  for the video game or whatever was enough so you can walk out
• 25:39
  the door with whatever game you want it.
• 25:41
  And then it'd be like popcorn and some pizza and like your
• 25:44
  friends would be over and that night we'd play that sounds.
• 25:47
  It'd be the all nighters. That's a nostalgic right there.
• 25:50
  Core memories about. This once before, maybe it was
• 25:53
  on a Pod 2 again, maybe when we first introduced PlayStation
• 25:56
  into the pod room or something. And ours was we had a couple
• 26:00
  game systems, like we had a PlayStation at some point and
• 26:02
  then we had an Xbox. And that's other than that,
• 26:04
  that's all we had. But like, we would go over on
• 26:07
  like a Friday and it was Guitar Hero because we were band nerds.
• 26:12
  Guitar Hero was a crazy error. My sister's boyfriend at the
• 26:16
  time, they had like a a house that had like a little room up
• 26:20
  above the garage that was like all finished off.
• 26:22
  So the stairs just went straight up into that room and basically
• 26:26
  all it had was like a couch in it and then the TV.
• 26:28
  And so every Friday after school, it was all the band kids
• 26:33
  went over to that one little room and we just had we had the
• 26:35
  guitar, we had the drums, we had everything basically just
• 26:39
  continued band lesson very school and played guitar.
• 26:44
  Vero. But I did you know, I dabbled in
• 26:47
  like a a plant. What was is it called duty or
• 26:51
  no? What's the other Halo?
• 26:54
  Halo. Halo was a crazy time.
• 26:55
  I never got into it though. I could like, I was never good
• 26:58
  enough to do. I just walk around and attempt
• 27:00
  to shoot things. My favorite game was the the
• 27:03
  what's that purple dragon? Spyro.
• 27:06
  Spyro yeah, that was. I love that one.
• 27:09
  I do. I do enjoy that.
• 27:12
  And then the one James hasn't let me play yet on there was
• 27:15
  Tomb Raider. I played Tomb Raider a lot and
• 27:19
  that was about it. We're really king of the demo
• 27:21
  that like, you know, you got a game system that came with like
• 27:24
  a demo back in the it'll be a demo disc and Tomb Raider was on
• 27:27
  it, but you can only get to like a certain level and then it was
• 27:29
  over. The the was a Guitar Hero, the
• 27:33
  band hero, whatever that was like basketball season.
• 27:37
  So while you're waiting for freshman and JV practice to be
• 27:40
  over with, like that's what we we go over, we go over to David
• 27:45
  Gardner. Like my senior year, my point
• 27:47
  guard was David. He was a freshman, but this dude
• 27:49
  was, if you're watching, I don't know if you, David Gardner was a
• 27:53
  freak athlete as like at 14 years old and we are like 200
• 27:58
  plus pounds and he's in there with us.
• 28:00
  But at his house he had everything.
• 28:02
  So between when that bell would ring and instead of going home,
• 28:07
  we would all get into this place and he was like, this dude could
• 28:10
  pick up, he picks up anything and he could just play.
• 28:13
  He had like. That's crazy.
• 28:16
  He got drafted to the minor leagues like and meet like right
• 28:20
  after high school. They offered him a Scott.
• 28:22
  They right out of high school, they offered him a contract and
• 28:26
  he turned it down to go to Michigan State and then he went
• 28:29
  on to play. Damn, that's just.
• 28:32
  Freaky. Some guys add in or gals are
• 28:34
  just freaking so good and put in the work so they're even
• 28:38
  freaking just amazing, which is so cool, dude.
• 28:44
  I don't know. Yeah, it's fun.
• 28:45
  I like the reminiscing right now.
• 28:46
  I love it. Yeah, that that memory, that
• 28:48
  memory card, I liked it when I finally got one, yeah.
• 28:51
  Well, I think I even got the, I think all that stuff I got when
• 28:54
  my buddy gave it to us. So it was like his stuff.
• 28:57
  But I think he had one of those like Gameshark, like cheat code
• 29:01
  ones too. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it might
• 29:04
  even be in there, dude. But it was like a thing that
• 29:07
  went in and it had like all the cheat codes in it.
• 29:10
  So and then there was a, there was a time when like you, I
• 29:13
  can't, I remember it was like XXX cheats or something like
• 29:16
  that. And like all you put in,
• 29:18
  whatever a game was in it sounds.
• 29:19
  Like it could be. Very inappropriate, but he's
• 29:22
  right here. Don't type that in different
• 29:27
  result than what we got. Exactly.
• 29:30
  But like what? And.
• 29:31
  Left, right, left, right, down, up, you know.
• 29:33
  Pokémon, whatever you're like there was the cheat code for
• 29:37
  because we would travel a lot because you know, I right, we
• 29:41
  lived in like 1 city, but then I had to go to school in another
• 29:44
  city. So that 45 minutes was like Game
• 29:47
  Boy whatever the cheat right we print out or, or because that
• 29:53
  printer may or may not be working, we just be hand
• 29:55
  jamming. It's just right into how cheat
• 29:58
  goes. Do you remember that?
• 30:00
  Like having to look up? I never had obviously.
• 30:03
  Guess whatever that thing is. Yeah, apparently wasn't cool
• 30:06
  enough. But I do remember looking up
• 30:09
  codes where it was like, you know, like the up, up, up, left,
• 30:12
  left, down, right. And then all of a sudden the
• 30:14
  code, you know, like pops up on the screen like a little notice
• 30:17
  and then. What a vintage era dude.
• 30:19
  Such a fun era. I feel like we got the best of
• 30:22
  everything because we were around before social media, then
• 30:25
  we seen social media and we played outside and our like.
• 30:29
  A lot of beginning video games, like with the game boys, the
• 30:32
  Sega genesis, the PlayStation one, like the just the vibes
• 30:36
  dude, like we're really was great.
• 30:39
  I think peak times pre cell phone, but like getting in a
• 30:43
  cell phone like right when they were sort of coming out, like
• 30:48
  yeah, I mean you got to live the pre cell phone life for a little
• 30:51
  and then like adapt with the change life.
• 30:55
  Till like 9th or 10th grade. I didn't get AI, didn't get a
• 30:57
  phone till 8th grade because and the only reason I got one then
• 31:00
  was I was riding my bike from school to my buddy Ryan
• 31:04
  Hawkett's house which was pretty far.
• 31:06
  It was like through most of Poway and my parents just for
• 31:11
  safety wanted me to have a flip phone.
• 31:12
  So I had a, you know, flip. Their smartphones weren't out
• 31:16
  yet until 2006. No, I had a Verizon, I think a
• 31:20
  Motorola flip phone was my first one.
• 31:22
  And then I had that NV 2 for a while.
• 31:24
  The one that folded like this with the keyboard inside that
• 31:28
  one was asked but. I had a hand me down Nextel
• 31:31
  from. Ohh Nextel was hard.
• 31:33
  So if I had that first, I think that.
• 31:34
  The Walkie-talkie 1. Yeah, Yeah.
• 31:36
  That was like the the actual point.
• 31:38
  So there was Boost Mobile and then Nextel, right.
• 31:40
  Boost Mobile was the prepaid and I think Nextel was the like if
• 31:43
  you have a plan. Yeah.
• 31:45
  I don't I think I got that. That was my second phone, which
• 31:48
  was a hand me down from my mom, but my first one was a Nokia.
• 31:53
  But you know, I was like it literally looked like the phones
• 31:55
  you had at home that you like pick up on block, you know, but
• 31:59
  like we're wireless, but it was like a block.
• 32:02
  It was like this big and I think I remember sticking with a
• 32:05
  butterfly 3D sticker on the back and I had that for a long time.
• 32:10
  All those stickers were crazy too, that you'd go to the little
• 32:13
  machine and it would like spit out the different holographic
• 32:16
  stickers like the. Foamy holographic ones.
• 32:19
  Remember the machines You go put your like two?
• 32:21
  Yeah, that pops out a sticker. Oh, I remember.
• 32:24
  Yeah. Every diner.
• 32:25
  Yeah, or the little things that you would like throw out and
• 32:28
  there was like a hand that would stick to the come on now in the
• 32:31
  little balls. My brother and sister in the
• 32:34
  face with it like. Like a whip, even the phones,
• 32:37
  like you could leap. Like if you dropped your phone
• 32:40
  and you left it under your bed and you came back a week later,
• 32:43
  it still was, like, fully charged.
• 32:44
  Yeah, like just. They weren't, they weren't like
• 32:47
  probably roaming and stuff didn't take any data and like,
• 32:52
  yeah, different times. But I agree.
• 32:53
  I think that it, well, one, I agree it was a really nice era.
• 32:57
  Like people kind of in our generation live through, but #2
• 33:03
  like, we probably lived through, like, the most drastic world
• 33:09
  change in a fast period of time of almost any time period
• 33:13
  because, like, the whole world completely changed from like,
• 33:18
  19, like 2000 to by the time you're in 2008, completely
• 33:24
  different. Yeah.
• 33:25
  Because the iPhone, the iPhone changed everything.
• 33:28
  Yeah, the iPhone is what really changed everything.
• 33:31
  Well, and like fast note, like I don't know what it's called, but
• 33:34
  like regular Internet, that is what I call it now.
• 33:37
  But like diet, there was no. Oh yeah, dial up.
• 33:40
  Was lucky. Dial up was AT dial up.
• 33:43
  And then dial up went regular Internet.
• 33:46
  So like be sure, like you could say like my grandparents time
• 33:49
  where like grandma went from having, you know, electricity
• 33:53
  was a thing, but like they didn't have microwaves, you
• 33:55
  know, or whatever, like appliances start freezers, you
• 34:01
  know, like things like that. Like those are big changes.
• 34:04
  But then and I'm sure they were big to them, but to go like from
• 34:11
  using a yellow books to look up something.
• 34:15
  That would. Be dropped.
• 34:17
  Or dialing 411 and getting that charge and your parents be so
• 34:21
  mad, right? To, you know, typing it in on
• 34:24
  the cell phone. Completely different, you know.
• 34:27
  The world, everything moved faster in a very short period of
• 34:30
  time. Totally.
• 34:32
  Yeah. It was like a drastic, drastic
• 34:34
  change and like, you know, now we're kind of going through
• 34:37
  something again with the, you know, AI become more prevalent,
• 34:40
  ChatGPT and all these other forms of AI.
• 34:44
  And I just think about how much different, you know, things like
• 34:47
  the job market and, you know, access to information will be in
• 34:53
  like 10 years from now, bro. It's going to like, I don't know
• 34:56
  what's going to happen That's. Why I think our generation is is
• 34:59
  kind of goaded because like because you had to write out the
• 35:04
  codes, the cheat codes for your video game.
• 35:07
  You can appreciate how fast you can get information like or how
• 35:11
  fast products can be made with with AI.
• 35:14
  But you, I feel like our generation uses it to be more
• 35:17
  like present with with people versus just immersed in
• 35:21
  technology. For instance, like some of those
• 35:24
  menial tasks that I have to do at work, I'm not like using AI
• 35:28
  just so I can do those tasks and then go home.
• 35:30
  I'm using them so I can knock out those tasks and then get
• 35:32
  back to what really matters is like the people that I work
• 35:35
  with, how do I help their lives? Do they have family issues?
• 35:39
  Is something wrong with their pay?
• 35:40
  Like now instead of being stuck in the office doing all this
• 35:44
  paperwork, now I can like be out actually helping.
• 35:47
  And then it stops a lot of mistakes that people would make.
• 35:51
  Well, I'm a electronics technician.
• 35:53
  I've been doing it for almost 20 years.
• 35:55
  So the kid who's out there who would never really see me
• 35:59
  working because I'm buried behind that man.
• 36:00
  Now I can get that done. Now I can train this person and
• 36:03
  they may even like they make a, a step faster.
• 36:06
  So it's our generation. We we've seen both sides of it
• 36:12
  to appreciate and use it where sometimes I see this generation,
• 36:17
  they just, it just makes them more enthralled with, with the
• 36:20
  technology and less connective. It was weird like getting on
• 36:23
  that elevator doing, you know, COVID time.
• 36:26
  You get on the elevator and people won't look at you and
• 36:29
  won't say hi. And I make you say hi.
• 36:31
  Like I'm going to make it nice and awkward on that elevator.
• 36:35
  I'm going to look at my watch and I'm going to see if it's
• 36:37
  morning or afternoon and I'm going to say good morning and
• 36:40
  I'm going to stare at you until you say it back.
• 36:44
  Dude, I felt. I felt, I felt like I was in the
• 36:48
  early 2000s today. Let me tell you why.
• 36:51
  I had an appointment this morning at my orthodontist,
• 36:54
  right? And I haven't been in 10 years.
• 36:56
  So I go in there and they and they do the old school
• 36:59
  impression up in my mouth. Yeah.
• 37:01
  I mean, I felt like I was 13 again in that.
• 37:04
  Hair, Did you have braces before?
• 37:06
  Is this a check or something? No.
• 37:07
  So well, yeah, I did have braces for a couple years, but then
• 37:11
  like I had I still wear retainers to this day and my top
• 37:14
  one broke so I got I got a rebuilt for $400.00 the.
• 37:20
  Clear ones you don't notice. No, they're the wires and stuff.
• 37:24
  But they say nothing. I felt so.
• 37:26
  I felt like a little kid again in the chair.
• 37:28
  Dude, you know I'm way too big. For it did.
• 37:31
  They give you a toothbrush bag before you left.
• 37:33
  No, but they let me piss my girl and they let me pick my color
• 37:37
  and everything, you know what I mean?
• 37:38
  I chose the same color. Red sparkles.
• 37:41
  So it's so vintage, bro. But yeah, I love it, man.
• 37:45
  I like, I like that. I just like the retro.
• 37:48
  Like I, I call it retro now, but like, I love that late 90s,
• 37:52
  early 2000s, that's like my favorite, you know, I guess like
• 37:56
  decor or vibe or feel, you know what I mean?
• 37:59
  Like I just love it. Action sports being huge and
• 38:03
  like drinking mountain dews and like, you know what I'm saying
• 38:07
  like. Watching ESPN extreme sports
• 38:10
  back in the everything, everything.
• 38:12
  How about friggin you know, why am I drawing a blank on it
• 38:19
  Jackass and CBK and like people just doing fear factor, like
• 38:25
  just the white early Joe Rogan white people.
• 38:28
  It was such white folk content. You know, the disguise breaking
• 38:32
  themselves off for no reason. But it was so entertaining, bro.
• 38:35
  But the playground was the best. Was a picture a mirror of that?
• 38:39
  Like, I can't imagine, and I probably need to get over this,
• 38:44
  but I didn't think much like the the what was the thing, The
• 38:47
  merry go round. Yeah, the most horrific
• 38:49
  accidents happened on the merry go round because you get to
• 38:53
  like, there'll be a group of you on there and like 5 people who
• 38:56
  just had strength and stamina will be outside of it just
• 38:58
  whipping that thing around. And then one person would get
• 39:01
  too scared and they would be yelling stop, but nobody can
• 39:04
  hear them over all the screams of the other children cheering.
• 39:07
  And then they would try to bail out.
• 39:09
  And when they would try to bail out, that foot would get
• 39:12
  clipped. And then you want to.
• 39:13
  Oh my God, dude. I think it was just a great era
• 39:17
  because it was 1 where there was just enough technology that you
• 39:23
  could learn how to use it did use it, enjoyed it, but you also
• 39:30
  like I would have AI had the little, you know, clear or
• 39:33
  purple clearish Game Boy thing. But no, Nintendo maybe is what
• 39:38
  it was. I don't know what that there
• 39:40
  was. There was a bunch of gameboy
• 39:42
  but. That, but I still owned a pair
• 39:45
  of roller skates you know, and I would go outside with my I'm.
• 39:49
  All jacked up from roller skates.
• 39:51
  I had rollerblades you know that the in like line Shields
• 39:55
  underneath now kids only ride on 4 kids skates that's.
• 39:58
  Cool, that's like the 80s vibrate seventies 80s vibe.
• 40:01
  Yeah, I had. Rollerblades.
• 40:03
  Blades are cool. Yeah, they were black with
• 40:06
  purple latches on. Yeah, I had a skateboard error.
• 40:10
  I tried it. That's the one sport I'm
• 40:12
  terrible at, skateboarding. My like my wrist is still jacked
• 40:16
  up just from because they, they built a skateboard park across
• 40:20
  the street from my apartment complex.
• 40:22
  So we lived there for a minute and it got what?
• 40:25
  And the problem was like, I didn't realize that there were
• 40:28
  certain trucks that you need, especially like if you're
• 40:30
  bigger. So I'm like on a Walmart board,
• 40:34
  try to drop, try to drop it to a bowl.
• 40:37
  Yeah, dude. That's insane.
• 40:40
  You laugh but you think he bubbles and dude that's insane
• 40:46
  dude. Shout out to Chris Jocelyn.
• 40:48
  Just Trey flip Del Toro legendary skate spot, you know,
• 40:52
  20 stairs. You can't skate it anymore
• 40:55
  though after that's the last one.
• 40:57
  But still, I was very impressed by it.
• 40:59
  I felt I felt like I was watching 2000s content when I
• 41:03
  saw the clip. I could never do that.
• 41:05
  That was cool enough to like. I love that for a ride my
• 41:07
  bicycle without like holding the steering wheel.
• 41:12
  The handlebars. The handlebar.
• 41:13
  Yeah, that, that's the the most. You try to jump now a little
• 41:17
  bit, yeah. I'm, I've, you know, I got to
• 41:19
  get back on the bike, but it's, it's like there's just a
• 41:26
  certain, like 1, I think boys come with inherently less fear
• 41:30
  factor that women have built into them somehow.
• 41:34
  And two, if you don't like do that growing up, like the
• 41:39
  outdoors, like stuff like bicycles or skateboarding or
• 41:44
  trick stuff, you know, like you're just to then try to do it
• 41:49
  as an adult. Listen, there's just so much
• 41:52
  more fear involved to break my ankle, my wrist.
• 41:57
  And it's because it takes a long time to heal.
• 41:59
  Like it. I'm looking at, like I look at
• 42:03
  folks, Joe Rogan got a lot of people gassed up to start
• 42:07
  jujitsu at a later age. But you got to realize Joe Rogan
• 42:12
  is going to he, he can go and get stem cells and he can go and
• 42:16
  get this, he can go and get peptides.
• 42:18
  He can, he will be back up and running faster than you will.
• 42:21
  So you think? What is an adult?
• 42:25
  You know what pain feels. Like.
• 42:27
  Oh my God. So like as the kid, if you're
• 42:29
  doing it and you're getting accustomed to it and whatnot,
• 42:32
  and you're realizing like that fall hurt a little bit more than
• 42:35
  the last time, Oop, that one broke my wrist.
• 42:36
  Like now I know what breaking my wrist feels like.
• 42:38
  You know, I've never broken a bone in my entire body and my
• 42:41
  whole. I got all types of hardware in
• 42:43
  my body. Yes, I've broken waters a lot.
• 42:46
  I've. Broken, no bones.
• 42:48
  And I want to keep it that way. It's a proud statistic I now own
• 42:52
  at 34. So it's like every time I ride
• 42:54
  down the hill on the bicycle, I'm like, as I go to approach
• 42:58
  the hill and I'm like, OK, brakes, I just put the stop on
• 43:01
  because I know that means I'm not going to break a bone.
• 43:04
  It's just it's better to do it younger and get used to it and
• 43:10
  not be so scared of things. Like I'm a proud believer now,
• 43:14
  like a baby should own a once again that bike Strider at six
• 43:18
  months old and get them going and and learn and have one just
• 43:22
  mobility and like dexterity and balance all those things if an
• 43:28
  adult or a child can get it. It's amazing.
• 43:31
  As possible. You know, it really is amazing
• 43:33
  no one thought of like the concept of a strider earlier on.
• 43:37
  Like they've only really been around, I don't know, maybe 10
• 43:39
  years. And it's like, it's such a
• 43:42
  better way to learn how to ride a bike.
• 43:44
  I remember first time riding a bike without training wheels bro
• 43:47
  was so scary. You're like, and you had to
• 43:50
  pedal the Now kids don't even use training wheels ever because
• 43:53
  they're so used to the Strider and their balance is so what's
• 43:56
  the Strider? Basically it's a bike with no
• 43:58
  pedals and kids just like sit on it and like run with their legs.
• 44:02
  But then they can coast and learn how to balance.
• 44:05
  So by then, by the time you put them on a real bike, they
• 44:08
  already know how to. Balance.
• 44:12
  We're going to be cooked, so let's go ahead and wrap up the
• 44:15
  podcast after this .0. God, we didn't talk about like,
• 44:18
  anything. Really, you might have to do it.
• 44:20
  We might have to do Part 2. Well, we might have to talk
• 44:23
  about some. Yeah, we could always do that.
• 44:25
  I was like, we do need to talk about some saddle stuff here
• 44:27
  because it brought up a story. My mom got Brittany and.
• 44:30
  Finished this point real quick. Anyways, the strider starts as
• 44:33
  like you remember Batten day when you had like a sea, a saw
• 44:36
  horse or what's called the saw horsey is what I call it.
• 44:41
  But anyways, it was like, it's it's like this, you know, and
• 44:43
  you just pawn it like this. That's how the Strider stunts is
• 44:47
  just like the kid can touch the ground and it just rocks back
• 44:50
  and forth. And then eventually you take
• 44:51
  that part off and like, like they just ride with their feet
• 44:55
  on the ground. There's no pedals and then the
• 44:58
  pedals come on and like it just builds you through every step of
• 45:01
  feeling like sitting and you know, balance and whatnot.
• 45:05
  I. Think you should have to feel
• 45:06
  stressed like I don't think yeah I don't think you should get the
• 45:10
  gradual ramp up I got faceless I think 2 wheels listen I.
• 45:14
  Kind of. I sort of like it, though I do
• 45:16
  jump. Yeah, get jump, get in there.
• 45:18
  Yeah, Take the training wheels off and go.
• 45:20
  You want to ride the bike? Listen, when the training wheel
• 45:23
  breaks, that's when your transition time is.
• 45:25
  You get when I drive home from work and you're 1 training hill
• 45:28
  wheels leaning up like this, like that's your strider, that's
• 45:31
  what you in my house, So that's all you got.
• 45:35
  My daughter was like, is it my destiny to ride today like they
• 45:39
  whatever Princess movie turned in in?
• 45:41
  So now, like everything, is it my destiny to do this today?
• 45:45
  And like it only took her a week from from training wheels to no
• 45:49
  training wheels. And it's like I put rules down.
• 45:52
  Hey, don't do this until I come home.
• 45:53
  I come home. You riding a bike around the.
• 45:56
  You got it. Ain't going to stop her once she
• 45:58
