00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560
What's up everybody? Welcome to a new episode of the All Things Croatia podcast.
2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:11,560
I'm your host, Stanko Zovak. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I'm now living in Zagreb and studying the Croatian language.
3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,360
In this series, I'll be talking with people both in the homeland and around the globe who have connections to Croatia.
4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:26,360
We'll hear from business owners, returning the osbora, influencers, musicians and artists, athletes, and the biggest Croatian celebrities that will return my calls.
5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,360
But enough about me. Either Moldavia, and let's get started.
6
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:38,360
Alright everybody, welcome back to the podcast. Today we have a very, very special guest who I've been waiting a long time to interview.
7
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:45,360
And actually when I first had the idea of doing this kind of podcast, this was the guy, the first person I thought of bringing on.
8
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,360
And you know, I waited because I didn't feel ready to handle this kind of star power, but I finally decided it's now or never.
9
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,360
So this guy runs an Instagram to inspire others and show Croatian pride with over 20,000 followers.
10
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,360
At the time I wrote this, I believe it's over 21,000 followers now.
11
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:07,360
He's got over 3 million likes on TikTok and is the most recognized celebrity in Canada, according to recent polls.
12
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Sources necessary. His name is Marko Senjanin, but you may know him better as Cro Warrior.
13
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Thanks for coming on the podcast, Marko.
14
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,360
There we go. Thanks for having me on.
15
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,360
Yeah, I hope you liked that intro.
16
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,360
My first podcast ever. That intro's awesome, man.
17
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Oh man, I was having a good time writing that.
18
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,360
I swear, that's a true story. When I first thought of doing a podcast like this, I was thinking of Crow Warrior.
19
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,360
That's the quintessential interview right there.
20
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:48,360
Yeah. And you know what? I never thought possible in a million years someone would want to podcast me.
21
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,360
Watch after this. Do any kind of interviews or anything.
22
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,360
You're going to be on Joe Rogan soon.
23
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Bring it on. Bring on the world here.
24
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,360
But Marco, if you can, just start us off. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
25
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,360
You know where you're from, what you do.
26
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,360
Yeah. Okay. Well, my name's, as we all know, Marco.
27
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Now even friends around Windsor, they call me Crow Warrior now.
28
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:18,360
Yeah, man. So just a little bit about me. I was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario and Canada.
29
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,360
You know, just like typical ones, right? Mama Tata born in Croatia, immigrated here.
30
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,360
And basically living in, you know, growing up in the house, it was like being in Croatia.
31
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,360
You know, Mama Tata just yelling at me as a kid. And you know, I think we can all kind of relate to that.
32
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Yes. Yes. You know, yeah. So when I was about 10 years old, we moved out of Windsor and we moved to a little town outside of Windsor called Tecumseh.
33
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,360
You know, went to three, four different grade schools and that.
34
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:58,360
You know what? Believe it or not, I was bullied as a kid too. You know, like I was, you know, how would I say it?
35
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:05,360
Like I was kind of an odd duckling in a way. You know, the, but hey, you know what? Those things just make you stronger, right?
36
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:17,360
So even in school now, like I'm a teacher and I advocate, you know, against bullying and that whenever I see it in the hallways and that I squashed it, put a stop to it.
37
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,360
So, you know, but I'm probably jumping the gun a little bit here and there.
38
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:30,360
Yeah. So, you know, typical, right? I was finished high school. I graduated from high school in 1997.
39
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:37,360
And then after that, I went to the skilled trades and I did that for six years. I was what he called a mold maker back then.
40
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Well, they still call it now, but that, you know, building anything that makes plastic parts.
41
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,360
I did that for about six years and it sucked.
42
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,360
Why is that?
43
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,360
You know, like, did you ever have a job stonk you just hated?
44
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,360
I did McDonald's and that wasn't my favorite.
45
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,360
Oh man. Yeah. That was crazy, man.
46
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Yeah. So, you know what? I, before that I worked at green giant. I don't know. Did you guys hear about green giant and where you're from and all that?
47
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,360
I'm not sure. What is that?
48
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,360
It's like a factory that produced like vegetables, frozen vegetables and that stuff.
49
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,360
Yeah. I think I've heard that.
50
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,360
So I did that as a part time job and that sucked too.
51
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,360
But you know, back then it was a good paying job, 885 an hour.
52
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:33,360
So here I worked that job and then when I went into skill trade, they start you off lower at 750 an hour.
53
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,360
And I'm like, wow, this sucks.
54
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,360
You were making more before.
55
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Yeah, exactly. But you know, back then they pushed the skill trades on everyone.
56
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,360
You know, like, oh, you should be a mole maker, be a mole maker.
57
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,360
You know, in high school, I struggled in school. Like I struggled in math and science and that.
58
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:58,360
I was like your level, like typical applied kind of student, we would say here in Canada, you know, and, and they would push you in the trade.
59
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,360
Oh, you should be a mole maker or tool and die maker.
60
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,360
So I picked the mole making trade.
61
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:13,360
And like I said, I did that for six years and at one point I was a leader for for a few jobs. I had a couple apprentices working under me.
62
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,360
You know, and after that, it seemed like the more you know, the more hours you've got to work.
63
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,360
And there were days I would be working 16 hours a day.
64
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,360
You know, and mom, it sucked.
65
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,360
It'd be like, you're ready to punch out at 12 o'clock on a Saturday and the boss is like, where are you going, Marco?
66
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,360
I'm like, go home. No, no, you got to stay till that job's done.
67
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:41,360
So 12 hours Saturday, 12 hours Sunday. I have enough of it. So I quit the trade. I went back to school.
68
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:48,360
I went to engineering, mechanical engineering at St. Clair College here in Windsor.
69
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,360
And here I am thinking, oh man, you know, I sucked at math and science physics, all that in high school.
70
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:04,360
So and I was basically a returning adult student because I quit the tree and went back to when I was, I think I was 24 years old.
71
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,360
Yeah, just turned 24.
72
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:12,360
But then it's like, man, I was getting all these straight A's and all that.
73
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,360
And then I ended up getting co-op job at the city of Windsor with the engineering departments and that.
74
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:27,360
And then that's actually where I met my brother-in-law. So I met my brother-in-law there. He introduced me to his sister who I married.
75
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,360
So it's funny how life works, you know, all these winding roads and that stuff.
76
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:40,360
Then after, after I got my engineering diploma here, I went to Wayne State University in Detroit.
77
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:48,360
So I was a commuter and I upgraded to a bachelor's of applied science there and I graduated from the engineering program there.
78
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,360
And then I went to teachers college here in Windsor.
79
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:57,360
And then I started teaching at St. Clair College, like, you know, teaching basically adults there.
80
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:05,360
And then I finished my master's degree in education in, I think, 2011, December 2011.
81
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:14,360
And after that, I got full time at the school board and in the high school, I was teaching math, science, physics.
82
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,360
They even threw an English class at me too.
83
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,360
I'm like, oh man, how do I make an essay again?
84
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,360
You had to learn too before you could teach.
85
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,360
Yeah, basically, that's exactly it. And that's what teachers do. You know, some of them say sink or swim.
86
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,360
You got to stay one day ahead.
87
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360
So it's like, okay, what are you teaching tomorrow?
88
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Well, I got to figure it out today. You know, and then after that, a job popped up to be a masonry teacher, like a posting popped up and one of my buddies was like, Marco, you should do that.
89
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,360
I said, I don't know nothing about masonry.
90
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,360
And he's like, but look, it says on the description, they'll send you away for training and you just need your tech walls.
91
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:02,360
So it's funny, like, even though I didn't like mole making, the qualifications I got from there got me this gig now.
92
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,360
So it's kind of, it's really crazy how life, yeah, I know.
93
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,360
And now I've been teaching masonry like Zee Daughtery for the last seven years now.
94
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,360
And it's awesome. I'm the only shop teacher in our school.
95
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,360
So I don't know if you remember, do you remember your shop teachers when you were in high school, Stonko or what?
96
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,360
Oh man, I wish we had shop. I went to a private school here in Los Angeles.
97
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,360
They don't teach, they don't have any shop, auto shop, wood shop, nothing.
98
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,360
I wish I wanted to learn stuff.
99
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,360
You never got the hands dirty.
100
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,360
No, never did.
101
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,360
Oh man.
102
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,360
That's why my car doesn't run.
103
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,360
I'll tell you, yeah.
104
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,360
I got to call a mechanic. How much I got to pay?
105
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Yeah man. So, you know, and that's why I've been doing like, you know, ever since then, yeah, things have been smooth sailing.
106
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:02,360
I want to ask real quick about growing up in Windsor, you know, before you moved, what's the community like over there, the Croatian community?
107
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,360
Is it pretty big? I would imagine in Windsor.
108
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:11,360
Yeah, it was bigger back when I was growing up in the 80s, 90s.
109
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:21,360
But once the 2000s hit, you know, a lot of the Croatians, they start moving towards, moving out going towards like Mississauga, the GTA, like Toronto area.
110
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,360
Hmm.
111
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:28,360
And that, but it's a, it's a very strong community, I would say like, at least growing up in this area.
112
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:34,360
It was like, we got a church, St. Francis of Assisi church.
113
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:43,360
And I think at one point we had something about 600 families living in Windsor area attending church.
114
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,360
And it was like, yeah, it was pretty powerful, you know, seeing the masses.
115
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:58,360
I remember as a kid, they're like on Sunday, for instance, we would have like a 9am mass or I think it was 11.
116
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:06,360
Yeah, 9am mass and 11am and both masses every week, no matter what was always full, dead full.
117
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,360
If you got there at the end, you got to stand the whole time.
118
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:16,360
And we have a great hall in the basement, great food.
119
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,360
The church food is always awesome.
120
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Yeah, what are you guys cooking over there mostly? Tvapi?
121
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:28,360
Yeah, the, special occasions only.
122
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:40,360
But it was, you know, the typical Sarmah, Pasta, Salata, the Kokos, you know, the good old chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes, all that stuff.
123
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,360
That was the typical Croatian wedding or concert.
124
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,360
And we still have some big Croatian singers come by sometimes.
125
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,360
I don't know if you heard Dusko Ljokin by chance.
126
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,360
I can't say I have, but I'm not very familiar with that scene.
127
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,360
Yeah, he's an older guy. He's like 78 years old now.
128
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,360
But he's from Zadar, born and raised. He came to Windsor, he did a concert.
129
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,360
Mila Hurnich came, he did a concert here as well.
130
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:16,360
Even Thompson came to Windsor to do a concert in 2003, I believe, or 2004.
131
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,360
I remember that. Oh, that was a riot.
132
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,360
You guys are getting all the big names over there.
133
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:27,360
Yeah, man. But Thompson was the last one after him. It's like no one big came down no more.
134
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,360
That was it. Because our venue started going a little slower, you know.
135
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,360
But the thing is growing up.
136
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:42,360
Mom and Tata, they, you know, like some creations did very well for themselves.
137
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,360
You know, they, both parents worked at Chrysler and GM, right?
138
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,360
Like Tata, he worked at Chrysler.
139
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:54,360
And my mom, she would work at odd jobs, right? So, so I guess what I'm saying is like,
140
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,360
we couldn't really afford to go to Croatia as often as some of the other families.
141
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:07,360
They couldn't afford to put me in sports, that kind of stuff. So, you know, I was in sports, I think I was on the soccer team.
142
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,360
I think I was 10 years old for one season and that was it.
143
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:18,360
I'm like, hey, I want to play no go met. No, no time.
144
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,360
So it was tough like that too, you know.
145
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:35,360
And that, but you know, we do have a great soccer, we have a Zemlishto here, like a great, you know, great soccer fields, big field church owned as well.
146
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:44,360
And we would always have the picnics. And it was in the summertime, I think every second or third Sunday, the picnics would be like dead full.
147
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,360
You know, like there'd be soccer games everywhere, Chavap, it was being made.
148
00:12:49,360 --> 00:13:01,360
We would have like a band playing too all the time. So it was a riot, you know, and I remember growing up, we would, we would have Luda Nocch every year.
149
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:09,360
In the one year, I remember I was 10 years old. So this is talking 1998.
150
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:18,360
Yeah, I think 1998, 1999, some around there are Zemlishto or someone, I don't know, they bought a Ugo car.
151
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,360
Like, I don't know if you have you ever seen a Ugo before?
152
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Not in real life, only on the internet.
153
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:35,360
In real life, it was, it was awesome. Like people would pay 10 bucks, you get a baseball bat and you get one swing at it.
154
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,360
No way.
155
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:46,360
And it'd be like, boom. So you know, now I'm thinking it wasn't the ADA, it must have been 1990, 1991. It was right at the start of the war.
156
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:52,360
So that's when they got the Ugo and then 10, 20 bucks for a swing with the baseball bat.
157
00:13:52,360 --> 00:14:02,360
Obviously, I was like, yeah, 10 or 11 years old, I couldn't afford it. So I'm watching these adults swing in the baseball bat at it.
158
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:10,360
And then when they were done beating the hell out of it, they gave it to the kids and then they gave us, they gave us baseball bats, crowbars, you name it.
159
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,360
They said, oh, no.
160
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:21,360
So we're starting to swing at the thing. We're flipping like 20 kids flipping a Ugo car upside down into that, jumping on it.
161
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,360
So that was some good memories back then, man.
162
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:31,360
Yeah, that's definitely something that happens back then. I feel like today, like that you can't get away with that.
163
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:40,360
Oh man, today, none of this stuff. Yeah, I know. And that's the thing too. A lot of the things you could get away with so much more back then than the day.
164
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,360
But honestly, yeah, growing up in Windsor, it was a very strong, strong community.
165
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:55,360
You know, like there was, you know, everything, right? There was different clicks, right? Like, okay, these group of creations here, this group here, this group here.
166
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:08,360
You know, but growing up there, there was a lot of creations that lived in our area. Like when I grew up on Hebert Street, there was about 30 houses on the street, all creations.
167
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:17,360
It was awesome. So during World Cup matches, we'd be all playing soccer at the park on the street. You know, it was great. Everyone's wearing like creation jerseys and that.
168
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:24,360
It was awesome living there, to be honest with you. But then later on, as time went on, people started moving out of the area and that.
169
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:31,360
So it is what it is now. And now we still have a good creation community here.
170
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,360
I would say if I got a guess, maybe 350 families, 400 families, something like that.
171
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,360
Hmm. Okay. Yeah, that's a decent amount. Yeah, still decent amount.
172
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,360
Definitely. Oh, sorry.
173
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:51,360
I was just going to say Windsor's got a population of about 220,000 people. So, you know, about 400 families, creations. That's a pretty good turn out.
174
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,360
Yeah, that's a good size. It's definitely a blessing to be able to grow up in that sort of community.
175
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Marco, I wanted to get in a little bit now to your Instagram. And I want to start it off by saying, you know, every Croatian has a nickname for themselves.
176
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:12,360
You know, if it's not the Croatian sensation, it's, you know, something else that was mine. That's actually my email.
177
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,360
My first email was Croatian sensation, some number I don't even remember.
178
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,360
Yeah, one, two, three.
179
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:24,360
But your sort of, yeah, something like that. But your sort of alter ego, although it's not really, I mean, it's who you are.
180
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:30,360
It's not even an alter ego, I think, at this point. Correct me if I'm wrong. But yours is Crow Warrior. And where did you come up with that name and when?
181
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:37,360
So I came up with that name when it started, believe it or not, it all started on Twitter. I started there.
182
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:51,360
It was when I went to Croatia in 2018 for the World Cup, right? So went there with the family. And, you know, after being in the finals, I was like so proud.
183
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:58,360
I think we were all so proud of Croatian at that point. And then I said, you know what, I'm going to make a Twitter account.
184
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:07,360
So I make a Twitter account while I'm in Croatia and coming up with a name, I'm like, it's got to be something about Croatian career, Croatia, something.
185
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:22,360
So I'm looking up, I'm thinking, Croatian man knows Croatia this that and then I'm like, well, I'm like, okay, I'm a Croatian and in a way I'm kind of a warrior thinking about, you know, like the way how I was brought up.
186
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:35,360
And, you know, the struggles I did go through and, you know, being as a young adult and kind of what I turned into, I was like, you know what, I was like a warrior getting to my age.
187
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:43,360
And I figured, oh my God, Croatian warrior, I go Croatian word that was taken. And I'm like, you know what, I'm going to make it shorter.
188
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:53,360
So I'm like, I'm a Croatian, I'm a Croatian, I'm a Croatian, I'm a Croatian, I'm a Croatian.
189
00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:10,360
So I started off at Twitter, I was doing more sports, you know, football and hockey, that kind of stuff. And then what's funny is one of my students got me to make a Instagram account for the school for my program that I'm teaching.
190
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:24,360
And I was texting my first Instagram ever, like the account I made. So the students were show me, yeah, sir, this is how you make a story. This is how you do a post. This is hashtag. So I'm learning from the kids.
191
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:34,360
So I started getting better at it. And then I'm like, you know what, I'm going to try this out. So then I make Croatian warrior 78 on Instagram.
192
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:54,360
And I got the same profile picture I had. And at first I was doing all sports and sports and all that. And then what happened was COVID kicked in, right? Like I went to Florida on a Saturday and then when COVID kicked in, Trudeau was like, Canadians, you've got to come home, you've got to come home.
193
00:18:54,360 --> 00:19:08,360
I was like, I'm not coming home. I just got here. I didn't get a tan yet. So then Wednesday comes, they close all the pools in Florida, everywhere COVID closed everything.
194
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:19,360
I said, okay, well, might as well hop on the plane and get back home. So we get home. And then I, you know, we got a quarantine two weeks. They were telling us.
195
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:30,360
So here I am bored at home thinking, what am I going to do for two weeks? It's like, okay, I washed my car and all that stuff, whatever. But I was just bored. And I felt like, you know, I feel like doing something.
196
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:42,360
So that's when I started posting some songs, right? Just, you know, just strum a song. First it was English songs. And then my, my cousins from Croatia, they start following me.
197
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:59,360
And they're like, Marcos, I don't know. Sing some Thompson songs. I'm like, okay, well, so I'm looking up the lyrics, looking up the tabs. And by all means, I'm not the greatest, I'm not a great guitar player at all.
198
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:10,360
Like I just, I just know the basic chords up and down. I can't do the strumming and the finger picking and all that. I know any of that just chords. That's all I know.
199
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:26,360
So then I started learning, I think the first song I ever did was Leopold Lisi. So I do that cover just a 59 second, you know, little clip. I posted on Instagram and you know, I'm all nervous at first. Oh my God, you're putting yourself out there.
200
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:38,360
I'm putting myself out there. People are going to comment. People are going to see me. I was getting nervous at first, but after a while, you don't really care anymore.
201
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:41,360
Yeah, that's definitely scary at first though, for sure.
202
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:51,360
Yeah, it was a little nervous at first. I'm not going to lie. And then I posted and then I got some followers, these Croatian guys.
203
00:20:51,360 --> 00:21:03,360
Hey Marco, dobro, smiraj, chavl, or chavuglave. I'm like, oh man, what have I become here?
204
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:14,360
So I do that song and man, just rehearsing and rehearsing, practicing. It took a while because I kind of wanted perfection or close to it to what I thought it was.
205
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:22,360
So then I post that song and then I'm getting more followers and then I started getting messages or getting requests.
206
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:39,360
Hey, smiraj, necki, mladen, gurdovic. I said, okay, I guess I'll look into that too, then. And then it just started blowing up from that. You know, I think the songs, I think it also too hit a chord too, because people were, it was worldwide, right?
207
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:54,360
Everyone's quarantining, COVID everywhere, people were scared, people were kind of depressed. And then this started up and I guess, well, you know, I was getting a lot of messages saying, thank you, Marco, you got us through COVID.
208
00:21:54,360 --> 00:22:05,360
I was getting messages like that. You got me through COVID. My son was sad and then he watches, he goes through your profile and makes him feel better.
209
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:18,360
Like, it was honestly a great feeling knowing like, wow, I'm actually doing some good out there in the world, right? Making people feel good or happy, at least trying to put a small on their faces.
210
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:25,360
Yeah, that's got to be a great feeling. I mean, yeah, it was awesome. And that shows you the power of the internet, right? It was awesome.
211
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:39,360
I think that it's interesting that you started growing originally with the music, because now the account is so much more than that. You know, to me now it seems like, oh, you know, you post a song maybe once, I don't know, once every two weeks, once a week, something like that.
212
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:49,360
But you have all this other content too that you're putting out. So I thought it was interesting that you originally started getting all these requests for the song, and that's what boosted your original growth.
213
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:56,360
Yeah, exactly. And you know what, I'll never stop doing the songs before it got to a point where I was doing two a week.
214
00:22:56,360 --> 00:22:58,360
Wow.
215
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:20,360
And that so and to be honest, that that's kind of what got me to, I think, what the account is the songs, so I'll never stop singing cover songs and that, but but the I just have more fun doing the ticktocks and that started so I was doing the singing and all that, but then my kids got me into the ticktock.
216
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:36,360
I keep hearing about it, I didn't really care for it. And then my kid showed me introduced me to the ticktock. And I made my first account in, I think it was May of 2021. That's when I made the account.
217
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:52,360
And it was just, you know, funny little things I was doing skits with the kids or, you know, oh, there's a bunny on the road or something do a little video of that, you know, just stupid stuff. But then, and then I just started kind of getting into, you know, I want to make this a little more
218
00:23:52,360 --> 00:24:03,360
creation stuff. So I started following some other accounts and I'm getting inspired by what I'm seeing there. I'm like, how can I do this as a creation thing, you know, twisting it to to be something like that.
219
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:18,360
So, and that's kind of where it started and it was, I think there was one, I can't remember the first one that that got me up there. There was, oh man, I made so many videos man.
220
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:36,360
I can't even think anymore with this stuff, but there were there were some, oh, this is what it started with the, I think, not the World Cup, the Euro Cup in 2020. That's it, or 2021. It was those videos, you know, because I was like, you know, this is awesome.
221
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:49,360
So there'd be some videos of creation stuff during World Cup. You know, I had the two bottles of of Shlivo locking in Ding Gong, that's that kind of stuff.
222
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:59,360
And what's funny is that stuff, if it blows up on Twitter, or sorry on TikTok, I know it's going to do well on Instagram.
223
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:15,360
So I was just kind of doing more of those things. Yeah, the reals exactly. And then I just kind of got more inspired with that. So I just kept going with it, you know, and, and now I found like a new niche where I'm kind of reaching out to teenagers, I figure,
224
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:24,360
well, you know, my kids are almost teenagers, I'm teaching teenagers, I kind of know how they think and what the things that they do that they complain about.
225
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:40,360
So I figure I just kind of reach out to them with that. And then there was like, so I kind of made my videos surrounding them. So I do like creation videos, but I do more of 14 comedy, teen or tween comedy, I guess you could say.
226
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:57,360
And then man, it just started blowing up from there like one day on TikTok, I got something like 5000 followers in one day. Where are these people coming from. So, and then I so I linked my Instagram account to the TikTok account.
227
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:11,360
And then I think that's why these people that are phoming on on TikTok, they're being routed to my Instagram account, the Crow Warrior one. So I think that's why the following is also growing on that as well too.
228
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:30,360
Because I'm finding more success on TikTok than actually Instagram, but they're still pretty powerful. It's like one. So I'm looking at, okay, is this TikTok going to be a Crow Warrior one, or is it going to be just for TikTok only so I still always think about, I got to do one
229
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:47,360
TikTok for Crow Warrior. I only put specific ones on there. You know, and in my recent one with the, you know, the greens. So I saw someone do a similar TikTok. He did with pizza instead. He did he had an avocado.
230
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:59,360
And then he went to grab a slice of pizza and eating that I'm like, Oh man, I got some Zellina here, you know, trip on a can. And then I'm reaching for the chivape.
231
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:05,360
And it was funny. I was cracking up at that. Yeah.
232
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:16,360
So I know. So, so from there, I'm seeing, wow, look at that on on the reels. I'm getting a lot of good views and good responses from that. So I might keep that kind of a trend going.
233
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:31,360
It's all with trends. I just got to do something when dies out, then you got to figure out something else to do. You know, and just kind of be with the times now. And now it's funny to like my parents, they would, they would go to church and then there'd be some teenagers
234
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:48,360
there. Oh my God, your, your son Marco is so funny on Instagram, unreal his TikTok. So, and my mom is like my style of a tick tock. And then, and then I start telling my dad, Hey, Tata, we got to make a tick tock.
235
00:27:48,360 --> 00:28:02,360
Oh, hey, man. Pusty man. Leave me alone. He wants nothing to do it. I said, Tata, you're famous too bad. You answered the question. I was just about to ask, you know, are people recognizing you over there? You know, are you like a local celebrity?
236
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:13,360
Yeah, man, it's awesome. So, for instance, I got bowling tonight, right? And when I go bowling, there'll be people yo, hey, cruel warrior. I look, oh yeah, what's up?
237
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:31,360
You know, it's cool too. There was, there were some creations that you know, I, you know, I knew of them, right, growing up, but I was never really buddy buddy with them. But now it's like we got this connection now they're, they're kind of seeing, I guess you could say they see the pride that I have as being
238
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:52,360
a person of my intuition, you know, how, how I absolutely love it. I love the community I live in. I love the people around me. Yo, so I think they kind of seen a different side of me as well. You know, like, you know, I'm, you know, the type of person I am but also to the, the creativity, I guess I bring to the community as well.
239
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,360
And one told me, Mirko, you put Windsor on the map.
240
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:02,360
Oh wow. That's a huge compliment. Yeah, I'm like, I don't know man.
241
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:14,360
Yo, like, I'm pretty humble with that stuff, you know, I don't, you know, I'm not going to go out there and say, you know, hey, I'm cruel warrior. I'm, I kind of just prefer, you know, people just, you know, I'm Marco.
242
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:28,360
I'm still the same person, but, but it's kind of nice where, you know, people do see and recognize the things that I try to do for the community, for the creation community for, you know, and it was great too.
243
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:49,360
It was like, you know, I'm connected with creations all around the world, like, like Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Australia, like creations I talked to from Argentina, Ecuador, like Brazil, there's creations there, like, it's awesome.
244
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:59,360
Yeah, from all over. Well, I wanted to ask, right, because you're getting, you know, like messages from fans, you know, followers all over the world, you know, telling you thank you and, you know, you're giving birthday shoutouts.
245
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:13,360
So I know a lot of people are DME for that. Just what you're saying, you know, that must be a cool feeling to feel like you're connecting Croatians across the globe. I mean, you are in a sense, you know, to have that, being able to hear from different people all over the world.
246
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:28,360
It's a cool feeling. Yeah, it's awesome. You know, I love doing the birthday shoutouts, but my, but some people I did have to tell them no, because I have a strict rule. I'm saying, you know, if you're asking for a birthday shoutout, someone's got to be a follower of mine.
247
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:43,360
I, you know, there were some people where they asked for a birthday shoutout. I'm like, okay, but then I look and see, well, you're not following me and the person that's requesting or, you know, that the birthday's for not following me.
248
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:54,360
So I'm like, you know what, sorry, someone's got to, you got to be a follower, you know, or I fall back. Yeah, you'll have too many otherwise because you're already doing like at least what two or three or four days.
249
00:30:54,360 --> 00:31:06,360
Yeah, there was one point, I swear, there was like, I was getting six requests a day. I'm like, I'm like, what the hell is everyone born on this day? Like, oh my God.
250
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:16,360
But you know, I, but I love doing it, but you know, the ones that are, you know, kind of tough to do, someone sends me a message at, let's say right now, 530.
251
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:28,360
I'm like, what is this? I'm like, what is this?
252
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,360
Yeah, sometimes you don't even see the DMs properly. You have so many until a day or two later.
253
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:43,360
Yeah, there was one day. No, not going to lie. I had, it was like about 200 messages I got in one day. Like when I look at my inbox, 99 plus I would see.
254
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:55,360
This, then I just click on that one button, you know, Mark has all read. I'm like, you know what, I can't go through all this. I go through a couple, you know, like random ones and that, but now it's slowed down quite a bit.
255
00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:04,360
Maybe because it's winter weather and that so and I love doing the bike rides too, but it's freezing outside minus 10.
256
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:16,360
I'm not going for a bike ride. Sorry, I got Peloton upstairs or I hit the gym, but once the weather breaks, you know, when I'm biking, that's my way of release.
257
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:27,360
I guess you could say stress release, stress relief. You know, I can chill out, think clearly and then that's when I do my videos where I kind of just say what's on my mind.
258
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:33,360
Yeah, the biking look cool. You always had nice shots of, what is that, Detroit that you read?
259
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:42,360
Detroit, Detroit, I love, and that city is amazing. If you guys ever, if you ever go, you should definitely check out Detroit. They got so many things to offer.
260
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:52,360
The sports venues are awesome. And what's great too is if I wanted to go see a red wing game. Well now it's with COVID in that that it's another whole beast on its own.
261
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:58,360
If you want to go, you have to get a certain test to cross back and that costs like 70 bucks.
262
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:08,360
I'm like, okay, I'm not going to cross the border watching game. Then I got to go to Walgreens and then pay 60 bucks or 70 bucks to get an atogen test.
263
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:14,360
So I'm allowed to come back into the country. So, you know, some of these restrictions are still there.
264
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:24,360
Right. So kind of deters me from not going to the States often, but before all that, man, you cross the board and take me 20 minutes to get to the border, maybe 10 minutes to cross.
265
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:34,360
And then boom, you're downtown Detroit. So if there's a game at 730, I could leave the house 630 and I'd be sitting in my seat for the game time.
266
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:42,360
You know, even with the border and the parking and the walk in and all that, whereas my, my cousin, he lives in New York City.
267
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:53,360
He told me if he wants to go to a Rangers game, it takes him two and a half hours to get there with all the subways and all this stuff and the crowds and such.
268
00:33:53,360 --> 00:34:01,360
I'm like, oh man. So I do love Detroit for that. That's for sure. So have you ever been to Detroit, Stonko?
269
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:13,360
No, no, I haven't actually. I was just thinking recently how I'm kind of upset. I haven't even seen that much in my own state, let alone my entire country, you know, the U.S. and yet Detroit, I've never been there.
270
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:24,360
I'd say, well, I've never been to California before. So, but mark my words, I will go one time. I love LA, man, like connecting with the creations there too.
271
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:29,360
Yeah, I know you're pretty big over here in the LA Croatian community. You got a lot of fans.
272
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,360
Oh man, that's awesome. I don't think it hit me yet.
273
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:45,360
Oh, I'll tell you, there was that soccer banquet that was here in Windsor, I think it was September 5th, you know, just this past, yeah, like just that past year there.
274
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:59,360
And there was a, it was a soccer tournament. So creations from Sudbury, Toronto, Kingston, Hamilton, like all these fairly decent sized, really good big cities came down to Windsor.
275
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:06,360
And then I was working with the parking and people are leaving or, you know, parking their car in the morning.
276
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:18,360
And they're like, pro warrior, can we get a selfie with you? I said, what? Really? Okay. So a selfie. Yeah, it's gonna be a big day, you know.
277
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:26,360
But then it got a point where, you know, so many people were there and they all knew me and they're all talking to me and that offer me drinks.
278
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:43,360
Like, I'm good. Thanks guys. But, but it was, it was great feeling seeing how, you know what, the, I would say the average age of the people that were there that, that was one of the talk to me that they were like in the early 20s, mid to early 20s and such.
279
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:59,360
So it was great seeing that I'm connecting with the younger crowd as well too. You know, I'm like, so there's this, you know, for instance, this girl and her boyfriend, they're maybe like 21, 22 years old and they're like, oh my God, you're Marco.
280
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:06,360
I said, yeah. Oh, can I get a picture with you? I'm like, okay.
281
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:18,360
So I think that's when they started hitting me. Yeah, like, you know, and, and I was very overwhelmed by that to be honest, like growing up, I was always the, believe it or not, I was the shy kind.
282
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:42,360
But you know, I got the point where you know, I'm 43 years old now. So when career account started, I was 40, 41. So I'm like, at this point, you know, I'm really 40s. Brigham and a man like, I got nothing to hide like why, why be shy, you know, what's funny too is some people there be creations and this one creation guy in Sweden,
283
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:55,360
he would message me asking me some, some advice about, I guess he had girl troubles or something and he was really into this girl. And I kind of coached him through I'm tech and my wife is driving.
284
00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:06,360
We were coming from, I think London. So my wife's like, why are you texting so much I said, I'm talking to this her from Sweden, you need some help for some advice.
285
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:19,360
So, you know, so it's cool to like people hit me up for some advice too and you know, if I got time, I'll help them out whenever. So it's like here I am, you know, doing, doing a little bit of everything, trying to make a world better, you know,
286
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:30,360
Yeah, that's cool to know that you're so connected. What does your family think about your celebrity status, you know, Tata is a fan favorite. What does he think about all this?
287
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:45,360
He just says bullshit. But my mom is, my mom's actually happy about it. So if I got to, it's funny, I'll just go to my parents house. Hey, Tata, we got to make a tick talk.
288
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:55,360
Oh, leave me alone. I'd say, come on, people want to see you. And then my mom would yell out of study, shooty.
289
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:07,360
So your mom makes him do the tick talk. Oh yeah, she does. She yells at him. And then my, and then she'll just constantly yell at him until he gives in. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
290
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:16,360
Then he starts yelling at me like, what do I got to do? All you got to do is just that one where he was eating dinner and then he waved his hand yelling, get out of here.
291
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:28,360
Like he was actually mad at that point in that one tick talk I did. That wasn't a good idea. No, he wasn't. So here he is, he's eating. I just got the camera ready. I'm like, oh, I'll get him.
292
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:38,360
And he knows I love bugging him with that. So, you know, he's really cool guy too. You know, Tata, he can, he could take jokes and he knows what to say and that.
293
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,360
Other times he gets mad, but when he's mad, it's funnier to me.
294
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:51,360
Yeah, I'm sure he secretly loves it and he does. He does love it. He'll never admit it, but I know he does.
295
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:58,360
Yeah, man. I got a question about this. This summer, are you trying to make it out to crow this summer?
296
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:08,360
Yeah, I'm going 100% man. We are going tickets are bought. Just got to look for the car rental. And some of these car rentals are crazy prices, man.
297
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,360
I'm sure, especially in the summer, I'm sure they jack up the prices a lot.
298
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:22,360
Yeah. Last time we went to crow for the World Cup, it was something like 800 bucks for the month. Now it's like cheapest price we can find is 3,500 for the month.
299
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,360
Wow.
300
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:33,360
I'm like, what the hell is going on here? But I guess the car rental places, they're saying how they're, they sold off a lot of their fleets so they don't have as many cars.
301
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:38,360
So of course they jack up the price now to make up for a revenue or something.
302
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:47,360
Maybe you got to start scheduling now then if whoever has got plans to go over there, you know, you should get everything scheduled before.
303
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:55,360
I'm sure with numbers are going up as far as tourists, you know, I think every year it's, you know, from 2018 and then now with Corona, of course it went down.
304
00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:01,360
But I think it's going back up and I think it's just going to keep growing. I mean, it's really growing as a tourist destination.
305
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:11,360
Oh, I know 100% man. And I'm so happy I got like a kucha in Svinca, which is a little village outside of Marina.
306
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:19,360
And that is a town that's outside of Strogir. But I don't know if you heard a Rogoznice, so the village is close by to there.
307
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:28,360
So it's basically right between Marina and Rogoznice, the village Svinca. So we got a, we got a house there and then my mom's got a house in Zadar.
308
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:34,360
But to be honest, I like the cello life better because you know what, you know, you don't see that often here.
309
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:43,360
I love going there and then it's like the clean air peace and quiet. You know, I'm driving on the road. I see a mug that's just chilling on the side like.
310
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:53,360
Yes, you don't see this back home at all. You know, you got to watch out from the Coco. They're all running across the street.
311
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,360
There's nothing like the cello life, man.
312
00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:04,360
Oh man, cello life's awesome. I wake up in the morning of the Coco Rico. My barante calls it like the rooster.
313
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:14,360
At 530 in the morning, waking me up. Then I step outside. Okay. It's like seven. For some reason I get great sleep there.
314
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:19,360
I don't have to sleep in there. Something with the air. Yeah, I wake up at seven in the morning. I'm feeling fresh.
315
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:31,360
Man, I'm ready to get this date going. So I go outside, then I see a koza, like a goat eating somebody's tree and some Bubba's yelling at the goat throwing twigs and sticks at it.
316
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:37,360
Oh man, yeah, I love the cello life. I love being in the cello.
317
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:42,360
You know, I wish I had TikTok then because that video would have been something.
318
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:49,360
Yeah, when you go back, when you go to summer, you'll have to get at least one or two videos in.
319
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:58,360
We're sort of running low on time here, Marco. I want to ask you just one or two more quick questions, some fun ones for you.
320
00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,360
Yeah, for sure, man.
321
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,360
Alright, here's a big one. Kai-Mak or Ivar?
322
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,360
Oh, Ivar. 100%.
323
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,360
Oh yeah? You're quick with that response.
324
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:16,360
Yes, sir. The Kai-Mak, it's good, but the Ivar is so much better to me. It's something with that taste. Love it.
325
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:21,360
Yeah, man, I love Ivar. And one more, Karlovachko or Ojuysko?
326
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,360
Ojuysko I'm going for.
327
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:24,360
Yeah?
328
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:34,360
Oh yeah, man. 100%. You know what? Because it's hard to get Ojuysko in Canada. Like it's always Karlovachko, you see, right?
329
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:45,360
But then, when I get back home or back to Croatia, my cousin, he demands it. No, no, Ojuysko. I said, okay, Ojuysko.
330
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:56,360
I get into that. It's just a crisper taste to me. I don't know what it is. If you put the two side by side of blind test, I would say the Ojuysko for sure.
331
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,360
I know some might hate me for that, but hey.
332
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,360
They're both pretty similar, though, to be honest.
333
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:11,360
I said, man. Yeah. So it is. Yeah, it's just the taste of it. I just find it just a little better. Not much, but it is better to me.
334
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:18,360
Yeah, just a little bit. Well, Marco, I wanted to think we've come down to the end here. I wanted to thank you for coming on the podcast.
335
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:24,360
It was really cool talking to you and hearing your story and make sure everyone listening to go follow him on Instagram.
336
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,360
Crow Warrior78, that's right.
337
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,360
Yes, sir. Instagram and TikTok.
338
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:35,360
And TikTok. Yes, yes. I just wanted to ask for one last favor, one last request, if I could.
339
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:36,360
Yeah, I do.
340
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:52,360
Because you've got your, you know, when you on Instagram, every day you have a story, usually when you're on your bike ride or now, you know, if you're in the car or whatever, and you do your little, you know, doberdan, Svima, and Kakostevi, and you got your taglines and the Vili Mose.
341
00:43:52,360 --> 00:44:02,360
I have to admit, I've stolen that. I've used that in, you saw that video, I think, where we, me and George were interviewing people in Zagreb about Stipe Miochi.
342
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:09,360
Yes, yes. You gave me the show at the beginning. Yeah, that was awesome, man. I loved it.
343
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:24,360
And then my dad, it's fine. My dad would hear me say that and Tata would be like, I'm like, how can we Vili Mose? Chuchi Mose? I said Tata. It's just funnier when it's Vili Mose. You know, like, see you later.
344
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,360
You know, and then he just kind of shakes his head.
345
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:37,360
I know we're recording this before I'm releasing it, but at the end of the podcast, I got a little outro, and at the end I say, and Vili Mose.
346
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:43,360
Yeah, man. Definitely, man. Because I liked it so much when I see it on the Crow Warrior accounts.
347
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:52,360
So I was wondering if you could give one of those, one of those Doberdan Svima and, you know, the little daily recap and the Vili Mose.
348
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:59,360
All right. All right. Doberdan Svima, Kakostevi. Happy Thursday. Hope you're all good.
349
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:09,360
Well, I have to go to the gym now. A little bit of work, so you'll be good. Stay safe and Vili Mose.
350
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,360
And Vili Mose.
