Speaker 1: M brute force. If it doesn't work, you're just not
Speaker 1: using enough. You're listening to suff wrap, special ops, news
Speaker 1: and information straight from the experts. Is now here are
Speaker 1: your hosts, Brandon Webb, Jack Murphy and the rest of
Speaker 1: the boys. It's so shop up dot Com, on time
Speaker 1: on Target Random Webb is your studio with the Scatto.
Speaker 1: The first thing I was going to say before we
Speaker 1: get to this big announcement which I've been using, is
Speaker 1: that this last week it shows you know me, I
Speaker 1: don't always say this was just phenomenal, Like I thought,
Speaker 1: Jerry Yellen was an incredible guest, Sean Lake was awesome,
Speaker 1: the stories about Glenn Doherty, and then you know, you
Speaker 1: weren't here for Jeff Gonzalez, but Jeff was great too.
Speaker 1: So just a lot of really awesome content. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: that's what we do. We we deliver the goods. So
Speaker 1: it's it's it's cool, you know, as as we grow
Speaker 1: the business, just you know, there's only so many hours
Speaker 1: in a day, right, It's like we'll talk about in
Speaker 1: a minute, but it's it's just it's, uh, the podcast
Speaker 1: is really cool and we've been on the air for
Speaker 1: almost five years. It seems crazy. Yeah. Yeah, but just
Speaker 1: the the listener base is just uh, it's it's cool.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm legitimately engaged with the audience and made
Speaker 1: friends from the show like Brent Burns, Jason rowe Um,
Speaker 1: you know, some really cool guys I've made from doing
Speaker 1: this podcast. So yeah, I was actually in the you
Speaker 1: know are a Writer's group and I was saying the
Speaker 1: exact same thing because we were talking about the bou
Speaker 1: Bourg Dolf stuff and it reminded me like Matt Vierkan,
Speaker 1: who served with bou Burg Doll. When I told him
Speaker 1: I was in South Dakota, it was like, hey, you
Speaker 1: want to stay over my place? And I did. And
Speaker 1: all the people that I've met through this podcast have
Speaker 1: all been just really solid, great people. So yeah, with
Speaker 1: the episode three hundred coming right up, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to say, you know, looking back on on this podcast itself,
Speaker 1: like you know, I don't say this every show because
Speaker 1: we don't just like sit around kissing each other that,
Speaker 1: but but like, I really do appreciate the opportunity you've
Speaker 1: given me to do this show because, as as you know,
Speaker 1: at one point prior to me coming on this show
Speaker 1: is kind of just trying to make something happen, and
Speaker 1: you know the amount that we did make happen with this.
Speaker 1: When I go to the team room events and I
Speaker 1: get to meet the people listening to podcast, it's like
Speaker 1: it's it's overwhelming and the caliber of guests that we
Speaker 1: have had on and everything. So as always, man, I
Speaker 1: just want to say thank you for bringing me on board.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm still staying here. Brisen an awesome
Speaker 1: experience thus far. No, I'm not going anywhere. It's and
Speaker 1: I think, you know, for those listening, we we have
Speaker 1: this annual meeting where we talk about strategy. You know,
Speaker 1: we come together and we talked about what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do for the year, and you know, I think you know,
Speaker 1: one of the discussion points that really hit home was
Speaker 1: just you know, we're trying to figure out this changing
Speaker 1: digital ad world, right, Like we used to be really
Speaker 1: relying on advertising revenue, which keeps things free. And then
Speaker 1: we saw like edit Toil we were doing stories and
Speaker 1: software that we're making some advertisers nervous and they they
Speaker 1: would try and tell us, hey, you can't do these stories,
Speaker 1: and Jack and I said, funk that we're going to
Speaker 1: take the site subscription, which we did, and people were upset,
Speaker 1: but it was now it was a great move because
Speaker 1: the site truly is self sustaining from a subscription revenue
Speaker 1: point of view, so you you know, and then it's
Speaker 1: not that much, especially the military discounts only a few
Speaker 1: dollars a month, and but it helps keep the guys.
Speaker 1: We have a paid writing staff, you know, and these
Speaker 1: guys like Alex get to work from home and be
Speaker 1: with their families. It's the best. My friends are are
Speaker 1: so jealous when they're like my schedule because for most
Speaker 1: people they don't like going into an office every day.
Speaker 1: And and for some people, I think the freedom they
Speaker 1: wouldn't enjoy because they're like what do I do with
Speaker 1: all people? Times? Some people can't adjust to it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've even talked to Jack about it because he was saying,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of military guys, you know, in particular,
Speaker 1: that's a U might be, you know, waiting around for orders,
Speaker 1: and that's not really how this job works, you find. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta like get after it. Yeah, and you've got
Speaker 1: to be just self motivating. And I feel like everybody
Speaker 1: who's been with this site, awhile, whether it's you, whether
Speaker 1: it's Jack like you know, when you meet people who
Speaker 1: are just highly motivated, not waiting around for something to happen,
Speaker 1: especially with you that you're you know, you told me
Speaker 1: about when you created Great Club, and I didn't know
Speaker 1: it would be this huge thing. And how you always
Speaker 1: say there's doers and there's talkers, and there's doers, and
Speaker 1: and like everybody who's been with this site for for
Speaker 1: a while truly are doers and are not waiting around
Speaker 1: for opportunity to happen. Like we come up with an idea,
Speaker 1: we make it happen. And I've seen you do it
Speaker 1: faster than anyone I know. I mean, I was um.
Speaker 1: I was actually speaking with my mom the other night.
Speaker 1: We ever do um senseory deprivation flow tank thing. I
Speaker 1: haven't done the flow tank, but I've gone to the
Speaker 1: saltwater thing. I put myself in that state and it's
Speaker 1: pretty pretty fucking cool. Yeah. I did it for the
Speaker 1: second time. And I do meditate. Yeah, well, and I think, um,
Speaker 1: there's other ways of meditation. I actually enjoy a little
Speaker 1: bit more. But I I did it for the second time,
Speaker 1: and my mom was interested in doing it, so she
Speaker 1: went into you know, her own tank. I did my
Speaker 1: thing um and we're talking after and I got in
Speaker 1: a whole discussion with her. I don't know how it
Speaker 1: came about, but about how you know, everybody talks about
Speaker 1: like the one percent of of the ultra wealthy, and
Speaker 1: a lot of those people have inherited a ton of wealth,
Speaker 1: so they don't really stand out to me. But I
Speaker 1: almost feel like there's a one percent of people, like
Speaker 1: one in a hundred people that I meet who are
Speaker 1: just highly motivated, always looking to create something and and
Speaker 1: make like a new venture happen, whether it's like James
Speaker 1: alt Shore has been here or Tim Kennedy We're about
Speaker 1: to have on the Power of Thought, and like you,
Speaker 1: Jack Murphy, I hopefully am in that category I feel
Speaker 1: are the same or those type of people that you
Speaker 1: really rarely meet, and it's just you learned something new
Speaker 1: from all these people. And that's kind of the beauty
Speaker 1: of the podcast is I take something um with me,
Speaker 1: the words that all these people who we've had on,
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's buzz al Dran or any of
Speaker 1: these guys, and like apply it to my daily life.
Speaker 1: And my point earlier was we took the podcast free again,
Speaker 1: which is just nice, you know, and because the podcast
Speaker 1: just the format of it, I think it just works
Speaker 1: better as a as a as a free product and
Speaker 1: to the listeners. Again, we kicked off all of our advertisers.
Speaker 1: We basically fired our agency and said, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna promote our own stuff that we believe in, which,
Speaker 1: to be fair, we're finishing up, like yeah, we hadn't
Speaker 1: gotta finish out the year. Yeah, and then are you know,
Speaker 1: like I know USA is going to be doing something
Speaker 1: it's funny and you say you can't be on here
Speaker 1: anymore and they come to us around the agency, which USA,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're just only gonna let premium sponsors on
Speaker 1: the site and one or two like we're doing it.
Speaker 1: We just landed a big deal with Harley Davison, so
Speaker 1: that that's just exciting. Um, but you know, brands like
Speaker 1: that that we really really believe in. But um, the
Speaker 1: point is, I'm I'm glad the podcast is free because
Speaker 1: it has a big audience. And I think we were
Speaker 1: you know, cannibalizing the audience a bit, you know, there
Speaker 1: for a while. But um, I feel good about the
Speaker 1: free format and it was and it was almost an experiment,
Speaker 1: you know, went from May until now. We saw how
Speaker 1: it went and just like you guys have seen different
Speaker 1: change at the site, like this was one of the
Speaker 1: you gotta and you know, as a business owner, you
Speaker 1: got to you gotta experiment. I'm not afraid to go
Speaker 1: test and fail. Like we we tried to expand and
Speaker 1: into the UK with the Greek Club. It just didn't
Speaker 1: work well and we're losing like a hundred fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a month, and I said kill it, you know,
Speaker 1: and it it just wasn't scaling up like we thought
Speaker 1: it was gonna be. And hey, you know what, we
Speaker 1: learned a ton in the process of getting a three
Speaker 1: P l in London, a third party logistics company. They
Speaker 1: called it three p l um what the tax situation
Speaker 1: in Europe is like, which is a fucking nightmare by
Speaker 1: the way, for a different, different show. But we just
Speaker 1: learned a lot of really good lessons. So and there's
Speaker 1: that's the thing you learn by failing and pushing the limits,
Speaker 1: you're able to learn and adapt and be better. And
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of what this whole This started
Speaker 1: off with one website software rep and then we did
Speaker 1: as an experiment, did a podcast and here we are
Speaker 1: five years later, so well, which didn't Lannie Basham say
Speaker 1: a lot of what you're saying with like you either
Speaker 1: win or you learn. I think he I think those
Speaker 1: might have been his words, which it was. We didn't
Speaker 1: talk about that yet in the podcast, but that was
Speaker 1: an awesome experience having him come to the studios and
Speaker 1: Hurricane group and hearing his whole philosophy because I've heard
Speaker 1: you speak so highly of him and then getting to
Speaker 1: hear him talk for what almost eight hours, like it
Speaker 1: was a huge learning experience. Yeah, no, I'm glad, and
Speaker 1: that's what we you know that My whole thing with
Speaker 1: the team is like, look, we're investing in ourselves, so
Speaker 1: getting someone like Landing in there making us all better.
Speaker 1: And last year we we used a guy that really
Speaker 1: specialized in goal setting, and so that's you know, that's
Speaker 1: important to me that that we do make that investment
Speaker 1: in each other and just become, you know, better as
Speaker 1: a team. So, yeah, Landy is is amazing. He was
Speaker 1: um so all right getting to the big announcement, you
Speaker 1: guys have been hearing a lot of Jason Delgado on
Speaker 1: here and U It's been a lot of positive feedback,
Speaker 1: so I guess maybe you want to say, now, I
Speaker 1: mean to be honest, what what happened was I you know,
Speaker 1: as I'm shifted in transition to more writing about my experiences,
Speaker 1: like I feel like my military experience, you know, I've
Speaker 1: written about that among heroes, Red Circle, the Killing School,
Speaker 1: if I feel complete, and I've turned the corner and
Speaker 1: started doing more entrepreneur leadership business stuff, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to do that type of content because I'm writing about it.
Speaker 1: And so we launched the Power of Thought podcast, which
Speaker 1: is you know, getting you know, not not necessarily, even
Speaker 1: though we have some kind of famous celebrity guests, but
Speaker 1: the point is to get people like Scott Kelly that
Speaker 1: that it was a Navy fighter pilot became an astronaut,
Speaker 1: those kind of guys that are just doing ship in
Speaker 1: the world, men and women, and get them on that show.
Speaker 1: And then so I started that with you and then realize,
Speaker 1: oh shit, you know, there's only so many hours in
Speaker 1: a day. So I just got over capacity, you know,
Speaker 1: I just I couldn't sustain in two podcasts. So you know,
Speaker 1: we started having Jason on the show, and he's really good.
Speaker 1: Like I think the one thing that Jack and I
Speaker 1: do well together as we bring a balance like he's
Speaker 1: he's a different personality and I am on the show
Speaker 1: and I'm more like I want to shoot the ship
Speaker 1: with the guys and you know, get into that kind
Speaker 1: of thing. And so Delgado is filling in for me,
Speaker 1: and then we you know, we offered him a full
Speaker 1: time spot and he and he took it. So I mean,
Speaker 1: this will be my last time on other than as
Speaker 1: a maybe a guest appearance because I said to you,
Speaker 1: if there's like something awesome in the Navy Seal community, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm happy to come on anytime and fill in as needed,
Speaker 1: but you know, the regular guy will be Delgado and
Speaker 1: I'm going to focus on the Power Thought podcast. So
Speaker 1: um that yeah, I mean that's it. And Jason will
Speaker 1: do a great job. But he's he he loves it.
Speaker 1: He really did do it, and he brings that flair
Speaker 1: that that I think balances well with with Jack's personality
Speaker 1: on the show. And yeah, I'm excited to have my
Speaker 1: board and it's it's cool to watch him have success
Speaker 1: with Bounty Hunter for threes book. It just got published
Speaker 1: in the UK. I just saw the UK addition and
Speaker 1: you know, seeing a guy have some success, and now
Speaker 1: we're able to provide another veteran job so he doesn't
Speaker 1: have to contract and leave his kids and go overseas.
Speaker 1: So UM, he can have the freedom to pursue his
Speaker 1: tattoo business as well and still host the show right
Speaker 1: for us, UM, contribute content and be part of the
Speaker 1: Hurricane family. So that's that's pretty cool anytime, you know,
Speaker 1: I can you bring a combat vet like that into
Speaker 1: the Fooled and and know that you know what that
Speaker 1: means for him and being around his kids more and
Speaker 1: just getting out of that contractor business, which is it's
Speaker 1: not it's a young man's game, right, like guys can
Speaker 1: do it in their forties, but really it's just you know,
Speaker 1: there's not too many fifty six year old contractors, so
Speaker 1: eventually you got to figure something out. So I think
Speaker 1: we found a Jason found a good home. Like we're
Speaker 1: happy to have him and uh and I know he's
Speaker 1: been doing a good job. So you but listen to
Speaker 1: the show, leave us, continue to leave us those reviews
Speaker 1: because it matters, especially now that we went to the
Speaker 1: free format. UM. But yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited about
Speaker 1: this new journey with the power thought we had, I mean,
Speaker 1: just to kick it off, we had some pretty badass
Speaker 1: guests right out of the gate. Yeah. I I especially
Speaker 1: loved the last show with Jerry Yellen. And then when
Speaker 1: this is up, you know you'll hear the one with
Speaker 1: Tim Kennedy. We're about to record. But I like it.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a very different feel and I get
Speaker 1: what you're doing. So it's weird. It's not this isn't goodbye.
Speaker 1: This is come. Come check out the Power. I thought,
Speaker 1: if you haven't listened to it yet, um, just look
Speaker 1: it up in the education category, leave us a review
Speaker 1: on there, and there's there's just you know, the whole
Speaker 1: thing now is driving around. I listened to podcasts. I
Speaker 1: still occasionally listened to Serious and I'll hear someone that's
Speaker 1: not military related and off to text Brandon and be like,
Speaker 1: this guy is perfect for the show. I was listening
Speaker 1: to like Todd McFarlan and the creators spawned comic book
Speaker 1: artist and he was telling his story and right away
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, we got to get this guy,
Speaker 1: and hopefully we will. Um, and I know you have
Speaker 1: like a ton of guests you want to get on.
Speaker 1: So it's cool. We're expanding into something that's more than
Speaker 1: just the special operations world and just for the for
Speaker 1: the software audience. Brent parents came to town the other day.
Speaker 1: Yeah how it took him the SOHO House and had
Speaker 1: some beers and ate lunch, and then I got to
Speaker 1: meet his agent, Ronnie's. He's an awesome guy and we
Speaker 1: just we had a blast. And you know, I was
Speaker 1: catching up for Brent and he was asking, Hey, what's
Speaker 1: what are you going on? He's really into the gear
Speaker 1: in the Creek Club And I said, Hey, we're and
Speaker 1: this is a teaser to the to the audience, and
Speaker 1: we haven't announced it yet, but I'm announcing it right now.
Speaker 1: Jason and I've been working on the Panther brand. You
Speaker 1: know what you're wearing your rock the sweatshirt. I'm sure
Speaker 1: we should say Jason Cannets or not. Yeah, Jason, sorry,
Speaker 1: Jason Kenniser, who's our head of brand and design and
Speaker 1: and so Jason Um and I when working. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's our it's kind of our baby. We want
Speaker 1: to make our own brand and products, like really cool products.
Speaker 1: And I, if you don't mind me throwing in this
Speaker 1: is something you've been working on for like years now.
Speaker 1: I remember when you just had, you know, some blueprints
Speaker 1: of of some items. You know, we've got the camel
Speaker 1: patterns that we've developed. So this isn't just something you
Speaker 1: threw together. But yeah, no, this has been the weirs
Speaker 1: and the making and and then the Creek Club came
Speaker 1: along and we said, you know, why don't this is
Speaker 1: an obviously perfect vehicle to to make a really kick
Speaker 1: ass product for the Creek Club. Um, so we've designed
Speaker 1: a kick ass wallet that you've been rocking. The prototype
Speaker 1: of that, the log the panther and logo is badass.
Speaker 1: You gotta put you gotta post a photo of the sweatshirt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: logo up that. But the thing is you, Jason, I
Speaker 1: are putting our heads together. Where oh do we do
Speaker 1: a backpack? Yeah? We could make a badass backpack. But
Speaker 1: I as often good ideas come from personal frustration. I was,
Speaker 1: I travel a lot, and the luggage, my role roller
Speaker 1: carry on fucking sucks. Like, I haven't found one good one.
Speaker 1: The best one I've come close to is a Patagonia
Speaker 1: and it's still it's like I'm probably not close attached
Speaker 1: to that brand, but it's a it's one of the
Speaker 1: best rollers that I've had. So I went to Jason said, look,
Speaker 1: let's not do a backpack. Let's let's build the Stealth
Speaker 1: panthera fucking badass roller carry on case that has multitools,
Speaker 1: hidden pockets and the fucking indestructible wheels and a handle
Speaker 1: that's not going to fucking break or get slippery when
Speaker 1: it rains. Because this is all like my own personal
Speaker 1: frustration experience traveling so much. And I said that I
Speaker 1: think will do well. Like our our dance, well we'll
Speaker 1: eat that up. Like who doesn't want a fucking kick
Speaker 1: ass stealth black Panther roller that's just a kick ass bag.
Speaker 1: And so we're doing a Kickstarter for that in November,
Speaker 1: so just keep an eye on for that. We're trying
Speaker 1: to work with Kickstarter to do something really special. So
Speaker 1: if you're a listener or remember the Craig Club, you
Speaker 1: can only go through a certain portal and you get
Speaker 1: kind of like a different class of of Kickstarter, but
Speaker 1: everyone that we've designed it so people will donate and
Speaker 1: get um the bag. They'll basically donate to the campaign
Speaker 1: and get the there'll be one of the first in
Speaker 1: line to get this kick ass piece of luggage and
Speaker 1: you know, and we'll do other stuff too. We made
Speaker 1: you adopt kit. But the idea is like that to
Speaker 1: me is like a super useful item. And I was
Speaker 1: talking to Brent about it. He's like, give me that back.
Speaker 1: So we're playing on here. So you gotta have something,
Speaker 1: and we wanna and he wants the camo too. I said, look,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do the camo. We don't want it to
Speaker 1: be flashy. We want to be this like a black
Speaker 1: bag with the kick ass panthera logo. Um, maybe like
Speaker 1: a metallic panthera skull metallica and nantara. We'll see what
Speaker 1: we're talking about when post a picture and and then
Speaker 1: when you zip open the interior then there's the camo
Speaker 1: pattern inside, so it'll just be badass man. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm really pumped about this. But you know, making product
Speaker 1: is fucking expensive. You've got we're working with the factory
Speaker 1: and the samples aren't free. You know, they've got minimum
Speaker 1: ortar quantities. So to kick this off, we've we've just
Speaker 1: got like we're asking for your help, those of you
Speaker 1: who are listening, Like when we announced that kickstarter, just
Speaker 1: spread the word and You're gonna get like a kick
Speaker 1: ass piece of luggage out of this thing, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna take a while. It's gonna take probably a um,
Speaker 1: you know, almost a year for us to get the
Speaker 1: Kickstarter funded and then go through a couple of prototype
Speaker 1: rounds and then deliver a kick ass, the best fucking
Speaker 1: perfect roller there is with you know, I'm talking to Jason,
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I want like spitfire skate wheels. You're
Speaker 1: just indestructible kind of components that this thing I'll just
Speaker 1: be put through the ringer. And even you know, I'm
Speaker 1: a fan of Oakley, as most of the guys are,
Speaker 1: but their roller bags suck. Man Like Jason, him and
Speaker 1: I've been working on this project, you know, swapping ideas
Speaker 1: back and forth, and he he sent me a picture
Speaker 1: of his Oakley bag after this last trip and the
Speaker 1: fucking wheel fell off. You know, It's just so that's
Speaker 1: not going to happen with our bags. So I As
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, Jason was the head designer
Speaker 1: at Oakley and then came on board with us, like
Speaker 1: all the a lot of guys might not be familiar
Speaker 1: with the as kind of serve, but like all the
Speaker 1: slick logos and designs you see on the website, Um,
Speaker 1: the T shirts, all of that is designed by him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so you know, and we got one of the
Speaker 1: the guy Mark that ran the bag program at at
Speaker 1: Oakleys is helping us out so with the the panther
Speaker 1: A line. So anyway, that's just I wanted to throw
Speaker 1: that out there because it's it's cool and we're gonna
Speaker 1: need your help, the listeners when we launched that kickstarter,
Speaker 1: I'm psyched for it, man. And then the uh, the
Speaker 1: other thing to mention is the remembrance rumble. We haven't
Speaker 1: talked a lot about that. On Veterans Day or it's
Speaker 1: called Remembrance Day in the UK, right, their version of
Speaker 1: Veterans Day is Remembrance Day. It falls the same week,
Speaker 1: almost the same day as ours. And again we're taking
Speaker 1: We're taking marines this time. Ye know. I just stacked
Speaker 1: a team of badass marines And I feel sorry for
Speaker 1: those guys in the UK. They can box and the
Speaker 1: toughest ship, but these guys aren't working around um and
Speaker 1: we you know, it's kind of an even fight. Last time,
Speaker 1: I think we had six fights and really like three
Speaker 1: of theirs. You could tell like three three victories for them,
Speaker 1: three for us. This time, I'm I'm worried about those boys.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling the boys should be a little nervous. These
Speaker 1: guys aren't working around man um that some of them
Speaker 1: have fought semi professionally. So um, it's gonna be good.
Speaker 1: I'm to can team over to London to do that.
Speaker 1: It will be live streamed on Softwrap'll be there, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Rat will be posting, so look for the live stream
Speaker 1: on Software Up Softwareup TV facebook page. Um. We may
Speaker 1: will probably do it on the software TV Facebook page
Speaker 1: and and then just share it on the other sites,
Speaker 1: but the main stream will be Software TV and you know,
Speaker 1: bringing you the remembrance rumble live from your call in
Speaker 1: East London, which is just a fucking madhouse. Last time,
Speaker 1: so um there was a que of sold out a
Speaker 1: Q probably a kilometer around the block. It was really
Speaker 1: like humbling to see and an incredibly cool to be
Speaker 1: a part of that that whole thing. So we're going
Speaker 1: over there to represent the good old US of A
Speaker 1: and kick some original ass and remind them that we
Speaker 1: were the original brexit right. Um. Yeah. So the website
Speaker 1: is event bright dot co dot UK to buy tickets,
Speaker 1: which is an event b R I t E dot
Speaker 1: co dot uk. You can look up ros Rumble Remembrance
Speaker 1: Rumble on there and you'll see them. Um. And I
Speaker 1: was going to mention also for those of you in
Speaker 1: New York, Um, I'll be hitting up Emma Lunis for
Speaker 1: wild Cows event um to ten West fifty Street one
Speaker 1: to four on Veterans Day. Um, they're doing a whole
Speaker 1: biker rally. Like it's gonna be awesome, So you know
Speaker 1: I'm psych to that. I think Jack Murphy will be there.
Speaker 1: I think James Powell said he's gonna come by um
Speaker 1: and money will be donated. I have a funny story
Speaker 1: um about Ammata Luneys. So I went in to say
Speaker 1: hi to him the other day because I was over
Speaker 1: and and I actually had a date at a lunch date.
Speaker 1: So nice I go in to pop in to see
Speaker 1: him afterwards. And do you get to say like, hey,
Speaker 1: that's my book on the wall to your date. No,
Speaker 1: I already had the date and I just went by myself.
Speaker 1: So okay, I UM not not that I would be
Speaker 1: opposed to a shameless plug. And so Emmett texts me
Speaker 1: after He's like, man, I forgot to tell you. I
Speaker 1: was out doing a plumber repair on the street and
Speaker 1: down the street watch Joe Biden. He's got like his
Speaker 1: security guy there, and Emmett yells out and Emmetts always
Speaker 1: dressed in a nice suit, and Emmt yells out, hey Joe,
Speaker 1: and Joe comes over and just glad hands him, and
Speaker 1: Emmett said he looks him straight in the eyes, like, boy,
Speaker 1: you and Obama sure fuck this country up. And Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was like, you know, shaking his hand like with
Speaker 1: the glad he's glad handing him. And then Emmett's like
Speaker 1: smiling back and he's like, oh, by the way, you
Speaker 1: guys belong in fucking prison, And he said. Biden was
Speaker 1: like instantly like turned, it was like you belong in jail,
Speaker 1: and like walked off with his Starbucks. But it was
Speaker 1: I just thought it was funny. That is, it's insane
Speaker 1: also because to be honest, and and I know you
Speaker 1: you know people who have worked with like the presidents
Speaker 1: and price presidents and stuff like, I've heard so much
Speaker 1: bad stuff about Hillary for people who worked in secret
Speaker 1: service and all that, but Joe Biden, I've overall heard
Speaker 1: is a nice guy. Yeah, no, I had the same
Speaker 1: feeling and and hold no, you know, no real grudge
Speaker 1: towards the guy. Yeah, I just thought it was a
Speaker 1: funny story. I just went out of his way to
Speaker 1: just basically punk him out on the Times Square. Yeah,
Speaker 1: al right outside it was that's crazy. Um, it's really funny.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll be there. And then I was gonna
Speaker 1: say that money is gonna be donated to the Red
Speaker 1: Circle Foundation, UM Horse for Heroes out of Santa Fe,
Speaker 1: New Mexico. I love you know, Rick Ayanucci in the
Speaker 1: world you gotta get did you get your UM that
Speaker 1: list that went out for everybody to pick a charity. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I actually think I'm gonna do UM Horses for Heroes,
Speaker 1: you know, because Rick has always said, oh, if you're
Speaker 1: any time you're in Santa Fe, you're welcome to come by.
Speaker 1: And I just think it's cool, man, I have veterans
Speaker 1: riding horses his therapy and and also ricks of former
Speaker 1: Green Beret himself. Um is like a legend in the community,
Speaker 1: a lot like Jim West and could also like talk
Speaker 1: your ear off like no other would you probably experienced
Speaker 1: done better. I love Jim, but man. No, well, I
Speaker 1: mean Rick oh ship, Um, I don't want to thinking
Speaker 1: emmons and that we're hosting this. Yeah yeah, Rick dude, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Rick can he can talk with the best of him.
Speaker 1: He's also he's just a character. He's like this really
Speaker 1: short guy wearing this giant cowboy hat, like huge handlebar mustache.
Speaker 1: But he's a badass guy. Um. So yeah, I I
Speaker 1: love their charity, um and yeah, that would be one
Speaker 1: of the charities that they'll be given to, of course,
Speaker 1: along with Red Circle Foundation. We are doing December. I
Speaker 1: think it's the seventh or eight, It's it's a Wednesday
Speaker 1: or Friday of that week of December. We're doing this
Speaker 1: um street fightings with Jim West seminar at Emma Looney's
Speaker 1: and in Whiskey afterwards for the for the Craig Club guys.
Speaker 1: So so we hope to do not hope, we are
Speaker 1: going to do more events like this in the future
Speaker 1: for the for the Craig Club members. I mean, and
Speaker 1: Jim's a badass street fighters. So these guys are gonna
Speaker 1: get some some really like just down in dirty methods
Speaker 1: from Jim and then they get to ask some questions
Speaker 1: and then then we all get to have have some
Speaker 1: really high end whiskey afterwards. So we're fired up for that.
Speaker 1: That's called you know, in the day and age where
Speaker 1: all this fucking political correct bullshit. I went to an
Speaker 1: event last night. This guy wrote a book called A
Speaker 1: Man and His Watch, and Vanity Affair sponsored this event.
Speaker 1: It was at this nice bar, you know, outdoor indoor,
Speaker 1: outdoor bar. We had cigars, guy shit, you know. And
Speaker 1: and so this guy's like, put this beautiful book together,
Speaker 1: this guy Matt, and he gets up there. He gets
Speaker 1: introduced by um, the head of Tutor Watches for North America,
Speaker 1: and gives them a very nice intro. Matt gets up
Speaker 1: and speaks about, you know, creating this book and working
Speaker 1: with guys like Mari Own Andrettie Sylvester Saloone and all
Speaker 1: their kind of personal stories and how they got involved
Speaker 1: into watches. And he's like, yeah, I'm I am, you know,
Speaker 1: just really the experience and you know the fraternity that
Speaker 1: around watches. And this lady just like blurts out and
Speaker 1: interrupts him, like you mean sorority too. I'm like, the
Speaker 1: fucking book is called A Man in his Watch, not
Speaker 1: a man a woman and their Watch collection. Bitch, you know,
Speaker 1: like have some fucking respect, and it's just gotten out
Speaker 1: of control, especially I feel in this city, just this
Speaker 1: whole you know, the future is female bullshit, Like, give
Speaker 1: me a fucking break, Like the future is the future
Speaker 1: for humanity is Hey, we all get along and we're
Speaker 1: all equal, right, I get Look, women aren't getting paid
Speaker 1: as much. That's a problem. Like, but you ever see
Speaker 1: the studies on that. Yeah, I mean it's and you
Speaker 1: can skew the data anyway you want to, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's it's bulls. Yeah, But the thing is, but I
Speaker 1: don't think we can argue that traditionally woman have been
Speaker 1: in different roles than men and they changed to it's
Speaker 1: um not you know, not to answer up this whole thing,
Speaker 1: but um I I agree with everything you're saying, but
Speaker 1: you know, I would just say, if you read up
Speaker 1: on it, you know there's higher paying jobs, like, for example,
Speaker 1: patroleum engineer. Women don't want to be patroleum engineers, extremely
Speaker 1: high paying job. So when people told that it's it's
Speaker 1: all jobs, the wage gap is actually not women getting
Speaker 1: paid less to do the same job. That like there's
Speaker 1: already walls against that's a good point, but the point
Speaker 1: I'm making is I'm just so tired of this fucking
Speaker 1: politically correct like you can't, you can't promote masculinity. We
Speaker 1: we've gotten Yeah, we've gotten flagged on some of our ads,
Speaker 1: like you guys are excluding a whole different you know,
Speaker 1: groups of of choice and so um, that's why I
Speaker 1: love the Craig Club. Man, It's like we can get
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys the other and have guy talk
Speaker 1: and drink some fucking whiskey and hand out some cigars
Speaker 1: and talk about street fighting with Jim Last Like that's
Speaker 1: what it's about. Um, because it's like the lost art
Speaker 1: of being a man. So um, yeah, I'm I'm pretty
Speaker 1: psyched about the Create Club. And we can have fun
Speaker 1: with it too. We can that that brand and club
Speaker 1: um is pretty cool. And we're now big enough, like
Speaker 1: we're the number one club in the category, and I'm
Speaker 1: buying we have the buying power now to give people.
Speaker 1: We're now putting in an extra an extra item or
Speaker 1: extra money into each crate because we have the buying
Speaker 1: power to get we have we can get the equipment
Speaker 1: cheaper than you can if you go out and go
Speaker 1: it alone. Like we're big enough to where we we
Speaker 1: have the buying power, and now we're like, okay, we're
Speaker 1: getting better margins, so that means, you know, we could
Speaker 1: we could keep that extra money, but we're like, no,
Speaker 1: let's put it back into the box because people are
Speaker 1: going to be stoked to get way more, way more
Speaker 1: gear than they're getting. And so that's starting November, December.
Speaker 1: It every month we're just getting and we're putting more
Speaker 1: stuff in there. So I'm pretty fired up. Hell yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: And then I guess I just wanted to mention there's
Speaker 1: not not much to say about this, and then we
Speaker 1: haven't seen the documents yet, but on this day is
Speaker 1: when the JFK documents are going to be released and
Speaker 1: no longer classified. Um. Alex Hollands and I talked about
Speaker 1: it on the last episode. More than likely Alex Jones
Speaker 1: is gonna have a hey day with this. More than likely. Um,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be anything we haven't seen before. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, conspiracy theorists are gonna love it. You know,
Speaker 1: it's really funny. I'll have to show you after. Um,
Speaker 1: my friend Ralph, he was actually a photographer who I
Speaker 1: know from serious he was. He's a d J who
Speaker 1: Kids photographer fifty cents dj um. He's like a huge
Speaker 1: Alex Jones INFU Wars fan, and they interviewed him about this.
Speaker 1: Should I just gonna make sure chewing on a wire, jeez,
Speaker 1: where I hope that he's not the string our equipment.
Speaker 1: You gotta watch him manag Yeah. Um So anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my friend Ralphie did this interview with info Wars about
Speaker 1: the Alex Jones about the JFK s off and I'll
Speaker 1: show you the video later. But some guy interrupts him
Speaker 1: in the middle while he's being interviewed, and my friend
Speaker 1: Ralph he's like comes pretty close to punching this guy
Speaker 1: in the face. It's pretty awesome, and they captured it
Speaker 1: on video. Um. But yeah, I'm looking forward just to
Speaker 1: seeing what I'll show it you. But dig into that too,
Speaker 1: and and more than likely it's nothing we haven't seen.
Speaker 1: But the one thing to mention about it, um that
Speaker 1: I said in the last show with Alex is that, yes,
Speaker 1: Trump is like taking credit for the fact that this
Speaker 1: is being released. But if if you're someone who knows
Speaker 1: about like the JFK assassination stuff, it was scheduled to
Speaker 1: be released, he just hasn't halted it. It's not It
Speaker 1: wasn't a Trump decision, so he'll take credit for it though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's hilarious. I love that thing that pen everyone that
Speaker 1: comes in my place. I forgot that you have that.
