WEBVTT 00:00:12.049 --> 00:00:14.849 Welcome to Botches Off -Road. Join us as we talk 00:00:14.849 --> 00:00:17.089 about everything from gear reviews to trail stories, 00:00:17.329 --> 00:00:19.489 tank camping to rock landing, and all things 00:00:19.489 --> 00:00:23.190 to do with the outdoors. And it's a wrap, boys. 00:00:23.329 --> 00:00:26.789 I hope you heard that, listeners. I hope you 00:00:26.789 --> 00:00:30.109 heard that. Wait, wait, wait. Let me get mine 00:00:30.109 --> 00:00:33.250 out. Before we go into the wrap, which I guess 00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:35.409 it kind of does fall into the wrap, I have the 00:00:35.409 --> 00:00:39.439 Cider Mill Donut by Blake's Hard Cider. I've 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.000 been saving it since this weekend when Mark gave 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.799 it to me just to try it out today. So let's get 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:52.759 the crack here. Ooh. It's not a crisp. Mm, smells 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:57.340 like, I do smell like cidery donut in it. Yeah, 00:00:57.340 --> 00:01:04.719 dude, it's really. That is not bad. Right? No. 00:01:06.009 --> 00:01:08.870 Okay. It was a gamble, and Alex was like, I don't 00:01:08.870 --> 00:01:10.469 know about this. And we cracked him like, oh, 00:01:10.510 --> 00:01:13.390 my God, this is the best decision. It's so good. 00:01:15.310 --> 00:01:19.469 It almost tastes like, yeah, a little bit of 00:01:19.469 --> 00:01:20.909 caramel, a little bit of apples, kind of what 00:01:20.909 --> 00:01:23.909 I get out of it. I think it tastes like Christmas, 00:01:24.030 --> 00:01:27.209 which is supposed to be fall, but I just taste 00:01:27.209 --> 00:01:34.519 Christmas. Yeah, that's weird. It's not bad. 00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:38.400 I would give it, on my scale, which people that 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.319 do listen know that I'm not a big alcohol guy, 00:01:40.459 --> 00:01:45.480 but on my scale, I'd give it like a solid 6 .5, 00:01:45.579 --> 00:01:49.239 7 out of 10. Okay, so last time we had you taste 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.219 test a beer, it was a brapple. Which one's better? 00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:58.120 Oh, this by far. By far. The brapple would have 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.469 been like a 3. We need to like... We need to 00:02:02.469 --> 00:02:05.109 get Blake's to realize how great they are and 00:02:05.109 --> 00:02:07.810 how great we are and then start sending us beer 00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:15.330 and sponsoring us. Yeah. Yeah, you know the flavors. 00:02:16.830 --> 00:02:19.990 It's weird because it's almost coffee house -ish. 00:02:20.289 --> 00:02:23.710 Yeah. I almost get like coffee house. It's weird 00:02:23.710 --> 00:02:26.030 to say that, and I'm definitely not one of those 00:02:26.030 --> 00:02:28.530 connoisseurs that's like, do you hear the wood 00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:32.699 notes? From the proper beige. I don't do that. 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.620 I actually have really poor taste buds, but that's 00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:40.460 just the vibes I get from it. I guess I could 00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:43.919 taste a little donut. I definitely get some apple. 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:48.039 It's definitely sweet, but the alcohol's at the 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:54.819 back of the tongue, so it's not bad. Very drinkable. 00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:59.520 Yes, very drinkable. I think I really... Out 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.360 of the stuff I like the best, like I like Red's. 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.379 They had like a Red's, their ciders, and the 00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:08.439 blueberry. They have like a blueberry cider. 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.300 Not very often. That is my favorite Red's. And 00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:15.560 they had it like four years ago, and I haven't 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.099 seen it since. Yeah. Yeah, actually. I really 00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:22.199 like the blueberry, though. But this is higher 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.819 up there as far as alcohols I've tasted, especially 00:03:24.819 --> 00:03:27.479 lately. Hasn't been on. A whole lot. People have 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.539 been giving me straight shots of, like, bourbon 00:03:29.539 --> 00:03:33.800 and stuff at camp, and it's not. They're like, 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.000 do you taste that? Isn't that good? And I'm like, 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.520 I taste, like, ass. Like, alcohol ass. Like, 00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:43.400 I don't taste anything but alcohol. Which is 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.979 funny. I think you would have enjoyed the sangria 00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:48.319 that we had at our wedding. Not our wedding. 00:03:48.460 --> 00:03:51.599 Sangria, man. Yeah. Congrats, Mark and Alex, 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.990 by the way. The wedding we were a part of. No, 00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:57.930 that dude. I'm not a wine fan, right? Like actually 00:03:57.930 --> 00:04:01.729 very much so despise wine. That sangria that 00:04:01.729 --> 00:04:05.289 Taylor had made for her wedding. Oh my God. I 00:04:05.289 --> 00:04:07.669 drank like half of the jug that was pre -made. 00:04:08.409 --> 00:04:11.270 Sangrias. I really like Bloody Marys that are 00:04:11.270 --> 00:04:15.430 a little lighter on the vodka. But, or is it 00:04:15.430 --> 00:04:19.069 tequila or vodka? You can do both. You can do 00:04:19.069 --> 00:04:22.649 both. Traditional is vodka. I do like the spicy. 00:04:23.870 --> 00:04:29.370 Spicy ones. I like Bloody Marys as long as there's 00:04:29.370 --> 00:04:31.529 a sausage in it. Because if there ain't a sausage, 00:04:31.730 --> 00:04:36.029 it ain't worth it. You hear that first. Congrats 00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:38.810 on the marriage. He only likes Bloody Marys with 00:04:38.810 --> 00:04:43.230 wieners in it. No, I've been different, dude. 00:04:43.290 --> 00:04:46.569 Usually I drink a lot of beer, but lately, for 00:04:46.569 --> 00:04:49.069 whatever reason, I've had so much liquor in the 00:04:49.069 --> 00:04:57.660 last three weeks. Yeah. I like a good mixed drink, 00:04:57.779 --> 00:05:01.439 like a Jack and Dr. Pepper or something. I'm 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.939 good with as long as you get the mixture right. 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.519 I used to do Jameson and Baja Blast Mountain 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.220 Dew. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to do that, 00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:16.360 but it's just like there's a certain time and 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.379 place for me. I can't. do like the podcast and 00:05:19.379 --> 00:05:22.079 drink like this at the podcast. I can't go grab 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.120 like a mixed drink like that. Oh, I can sit now 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.439 at the campfire and I'm like, yeah, okay. I'll 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.779 do a drink or two. I could sit here doing shots. 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:33.899 Uh, I actually was thinking about, we could do 00:05:33.899 --> 00:05:38.420 like, I want to do a drinking game over the podcast, 00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:42.959 but I haven't quite figured out what I want to 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:48.389 do yet. So. Because I think it'd be so fun, dude. 00:05:50.670 --> 00:05:56.189 Update, the burps taste just as good. That actually 00:05:56.189 --> 00:05:58.170 tasted almost better because there wasn't any 00:05:58.170 --> 00:06:03.149 alcohol behind it. Like, we could do something 00:06:03.149 --> 00:06:11.329 like, I don't know, if you've had this happen, 00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:15.540 take a shot kind of thing. Or to try to... Get 00:06:15.540 --> 00:06:20.259 us off of a bad... Fuck, I just did it there. 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:25.319 To get us off of bad... Damn it. I did it again. 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:31.100 Anytime we say uh, you have to take a shot. I 00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:35.019 love this idea. That would be so... I would be 00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:39.360 fucking wasted on... Like, I have such a bad... 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.399 Like, I was deleting uhs before today for my 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.220 podcast, and it's like... I'm going through it, 00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:48.660 and I'm like, oh, my gosh, stop it. It's not 00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:52.379 a space killer. I could just not talk and cut 00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:54.720 it out. What am I doing? I think it's funny. 00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.399 So, like, I was talking to you. Yeah. You know, 00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:03.660 I'll go get vodka. I'm down. You'd be so fucked. 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.319 I was talking to Jimmy, and he was saying how, 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.699 you know, he goes through and cuts out all the 00:07:08.699 --> 00:07:11.600 uhs. And I was like, dude, just try not doing 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.839 it once. And he didn't do it three times, and 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.519 nobody noticed, including me, who was specifically 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.439 listening for the stuff to get cut out. I forgot 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.100 about this conversation. I mean, I don't cut 00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:25.680 them all out, but it's like the ones where I 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.339 use them as a pause, like a break. I'll be talking, 00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:33.899 and so all you have to do is this, and then you 00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:36.019 can do this. If I cut it out and it makes zero 00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:38.459 difference in the conversation, that's kind of 00:07:38.459 --> 00:07:41.779 where I'm like, okay, this is a useless. See, 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.000 it's a useless break. Yeah. I wouldn't play that 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.939 game because I would be fucking sloshed so fast. 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.720 We could do like a half hour episode talking 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.819 about who knows what. It'd be so fun, dude. I 00:07:56.819 --> 00:07:59.240 would need like a 15 minute one just so I could 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.839 wake up the next day. Because I wouldn't be able 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.930 to function. I'd be that messed up. I do it so 00:08:07.930 --> 00:08:10.769 much, and I caught myself. I swear to God I deleted, 00:08:10.889 --> 00:08:14.189 like, 30 uhs in, like, the three episodes I recorded 00:08:14.189 --> 00:08:17.610 earlier today. They weren't even long ones. I 00:08:17.610 --> 00:08:20.410 was just doing update episodes and just making 00:08:20.410 --> 00:08:23.290 sure I had stuff, you know, pushed out onto that 00:08:23.290 --> 00:08:26.810 page since I've been so busy. Speaking of busy, 00:08:26.949 --> 00:08:30.970 let's get into our rap for our last week. Guys, 00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:36.649 we all have the same rap. Yeah? Yeah. Been a 00:08:36.649 --> 00:08:37.809 while since we've done that. I don't think we've 00:08:37.809 --> 00:08:41.330 all had the same rap in a minute. Probably since 00:08:41.330 --> 00:08:44.909 the last time we had the Botches camp out. Yeah. 00:08:45.429 --> 00:08:49.210 Mm -hmm. So yeah, we did Chords and Calf, the 00:08:49.210 --> 00:08:53.330 inaugural Chords and Calf. Mm -hmm. I think it 00:08:53.330 --> 00:08:56.129 went well. Yep. Yeah, I think it was good. Yeah. 00:08:56.149 --> 00:09:02.860 I think for what is typically the... Like the 00:09:02.860 --> 00:09:05.460 topic, cords and calf, like the typical category 00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:08.299 that that's in, I think we did very well because 00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:10.860 people stayed pretty much the whole time. Well, 00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:13.080 dude. Oh, yeah. And you don't get that kind of 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.720 engagement. People usually stay for an hour. 00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:20.440 People were here from when we started at 12 until 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.379 I think I left at like 6 .30. We didn't leave 00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:27.740 till 8. Right. So, I mean, all in all, it was. 00:09:28.409 --> 00:09:30.470 It was good, man. We had a fire. We had chairs 00:09:30.470 --> 00:09:35.009 by the fire. It was basically like camp, but 00:09:35.009 --> 00:09:38.110 with donuts, coffee, and everybody chilling and 00:09:38.110 --> 00:09:41.549 checking out each other's rigs. Yep. Yep. And 00:09:41.549 --> 00:09:44.610 one thing I noticed that was interesting is like, 00:09:44.669 --> 00:09:47.250 so you go to Rigs and Coffee and you end up with 00:09:47.250 --> 00:09:50.970 like 20 different little groups that are all 00:09:50.970 --> 00:09:54.129 broke off together. We didn't really have that. 00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:56.860 We had a lot of... Full group conversations. 00:09:57.419 --> 00:10:00.220 A couple of small little break -offs, but... 00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:04.399 I'd like to say at most we had three separate 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.639 groups at one time, but other than that, it kept 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.039 getting reformed back to one group. Do you want 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.059 to... Not to change subjects, but I just got 00:10:13.059 --> 00:10:15.799 a message from my wife. Do you guys want to try 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.919 a new segment real quick? What's that? It's called 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:23.809 Mystery Mail Call. Okay. I got a random package 00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:26.049 through UPS, and I haven't ordered anything. 00:10:27.590 --> 00:10:30.830 Let's do it. Oh. All right. All right. So mystery 00:10:30.830 --> 00:10:38.590 mail call for the viewers. Uh -oh. Sienna says 00:10:38.590 --> 00:10:40.669 she knows what it is, and it was extremely fast. 00:10:41.950 --> 00:10:54.220 I don't know what it is. Super. Oh, holy shit. 00:10:55.820 --> 00:11:01.779 So I won a giveaway with Super E, the light company. 00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:05.379 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That was like a day 00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:12.340 or two ago. They're in. Nice. Holy shit. That 00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:17.220 is the fastest shipping I've ever had. You probably 00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:20.139 shipped it right away before they even announced 00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:23.919 the winners. Oh, my God, dude. I've never had 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.659 that happen. So let me just open this up real 00:11:27.659 --> 00:11:29.379 quick. I'm going to rip the box because I don't 00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:33.100 have a knife on me. Here, let me just pass you 00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:37.639 mine through the string. I got this. This box 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.590 is tough. It's made in China. Because I've been 00:11:40.590 --> 00:11:42.809 sitting here combing my beard with it the whole 00:11:42.809 --> 00:11:45.750 time. Sold as a set. So there's three boxes that 00:11:45.750 --> 00:11:48.129 say sold as a set. I'm going to pass it up to 00:11:48.129 --> 00:11:53.850 the camera for the guys. Okay. Okay. So let's 00:11:53.850 --> 00:11:55.629 pull out the first one. I don't know what these 00:11:55.629 --> 00:12:02.549 are. Oh. These are not. These are. There's more 00:12:02.549 --> 00:12:08.169 than three of them. Oh. Okay. Rock lights? They 00:12:08.169 --> 00:12:15.190 could be rock lights. Oh, shit. Yeah, I think 00:12:15.190 --> 00:12:17.909 they're rock lights, dudes. That's exactly what 00:12:17.909 --> 00:12:25.110 they are. Oh, yeah. Oh, fuck. Okay, so I got... 00:12:25.110 --> 00:12:26.669 A little nicer than the ones I put on the back 00:12:26.669 --> 00:12:29.470 of mine, but they look good. I got some connectors. 00:12:30.149 --> 00:12:36.610 Let's see how many I got. I guess eight. Six 00:12:36.610 --> 00:12:40.809 or eight. So I got, I think it's six. So three, 00:12:41.009 --> 00:12:47.710 four, five, six. Yep, six. Holy shit, dude. That's 00:12:47.710 --> 00:12:49.129 perfect because I really didn't need any other 00:12:49.129 --> 00:13:00.750 lights. A large wire. What do you call that? 00:13:01.309 --> 00:13:09.120 Lume? Harness? Harness. Looks like it has one 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.580 button. Ooh, I don't know, boys. We might have 00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:16.740 to do this at your... No, it's all connected 00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:21.059 by one. So I think if I splice the wire, I can 00:13:21.059 --> 00:13:24.820 just run this to my... Switch panel? Yeah, because 00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:27.460 it's got the button right here. But if I just 00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:32.179 take that out... Yep. And wire before that... 00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:34.929 Is this one colored, not multicolored? Yeah, 00:13:34.970 --> 00:13:41.289 I don't even know. So it's got some backers. 00:13:42.789 --> 00:13:50.070 Yeah. Yeah, I don't even know yet. It's got a 00:13:50.070 --> 00:13:56.090 remote. What the fuck? It's not one color. Yeah, 00:13:56.090 --> 00:13:57.710 but I'll say you got a remote. It's not one color. 00:13:57.730 --> 00:14:00.590 God damn. Oh, yeah. That's a lot of fucking buttons, 00:14:00.649 --> 00:14:03.909 boys. You're going to be partying. I don't know. 00:14:03.950 --> 00:14:06.289 So I don't know. Can I do that then? Yeah, you 00:14:06.289 --> 00:14:07.730 should. I might have to keep that switch, right? 00:14:07.850 --> 00:14:10.009 You should be able to run main power into the 00:14:10.009 --> 00:14:12.549 switch panel and then use the remote for the 00:14:12.549 --> 00:14:20.629 rest. Well, yep. Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot. IP68 00:14:20.629 --> 00:14:24.370 rated. Oh, there's app control too. God damn. 00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:28.769 Yep, and they have some directions for, I think, 00:14:28.769 --> 00:14:31.279 wiring it to the switch panel. I need to, like, 00:14:31.340 --> 00:14:34.179 get on these giveaways. Fuck. I don't know what 00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:38.100 these are even priced at, to be honest, but free 00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:42.580 rock lights. For six of them? RGB is going to 00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:44.559 be a little more expensive type because it's 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.240 being multicolored. Yeah. I'm going to do these 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:51.659 underneath, and I'll just keep the ambers and 00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:55.179 stuff for some area lighting. I don't really 00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:58.460 have any colors. I'm not banging out with light 00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:03.220 blue or anything on my shiny rims, which is a 00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:05.139 joke to anyone who's ever seen my rims because 00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:09.779 they're spray -painted black. You can find a 00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:14.100 red to match your berry. That wouldn't be bad. 00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:18.220 It might look purple, though. All right, so that's 00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:20.799 a fun segment. We need to do that more often. 00:15:21.789 --> 00:15:25.149 I mean, on that case, it's not really a mystery 00:15:25.149 --> 00:15:29.450 mail call, but our flag is here. Oh, yeah, you 00:15:29.450 --> 00:15:32.409 did get your flag. Yeah, it's a mail call. There 00:15:32.409 --> 00:15:35.950 you go. Yeah, I added that to the official store. 00:15:36.210 --> 00:15:38.730 So, listeners, go to our store. It's in the show 00:15:38.730 --> 00:15:41.909 notes down below. And buy our junk. We have cool 00:15:41.909 --> 00:15:45.529 junk, and you should buy our junk. And we want 00:15:45.529 --> 00:15:48.669 you to buy it to just have it. It doesn't really 00:15:48.669 --> 00:15:50.730 give us anything because we have it priced low. 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:53.399 It is priced pretty low. I was going to talk 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.860 about the other item. It's priced really low. 00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.100 Like the license plate holder that he just made, 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.360 too. It's not a holder. The license plate. Yeah. 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:05.059 Yeah. That actually looks like a state plate. 00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:10.700 Like, it's sick, dude. Yeah, I have a holder. 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.159 I have the holder. I didn't do a plate yet. The 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.799 holder's pretty cool. It's just got the topographic 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.940 on it, and then... The three bears on the bottom. 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.419 So it's not super, like, in your face. So that 00:16:24.419 --> 00:16:27.200 website that I used to get the topographic for 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.059 Skitter Hill, oh, that's the cool thing. All 00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:31.059 the new stuff has the Skitter Hill topographic 00:16:31.059 --> 00:16:34.860 behind it. Yeah. So that's pretty cool. Although 00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:38.580 we don't, like, go out of the way on the item 00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:41.200 to point out that it's Skitter Hill, just knowing 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.940 that it's Skitter Hill is cool enough. Yeah. 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.429 Yeah. But that website that I use to get the 00:16:47.429 --> 00:16:49.309 Toppo, I think I'm going to start paying for 00:16:49.309 --> 00:16:52.309 it yearly. It's like $100 a year. And we can 00:16:52.309 --> 00:16:55.909 just get Toppo from anywhere we want in the world. 00:16:56.789 --> 00:16:58.870 Which would be really cool for each Chords and 00:16:58.870 --> 00:17:06.309 Calfs event to do one item, like a sticker, and 00:17:06.309 --> 00:17:08.309 use a Toppo on the background of the sticker 00:17:08.309 --> 00:17:10.170 and just have our Botches logo on the front of 00:17:10.170 --> 00:17:14.410 it. I actually really like that idea. So, yeah. 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.599 We've got some cool stuff on the store now. We've 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.539 got, just kind of give you a rundown because 00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:24.059 if I don't, maybe you'll hear what you want and 00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:25.859 you'll go get it. So we've got a really cool 00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:28.140 license plate. We've got the really cool flag. 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.720 Our Hawaiian shirt that everyone seems to want. 00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:35.099 There's one of those on the store now. There 00:17:35.099 --> 00:17:38.599 is a hoodie, which it's a really high quality 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.519 hoodie. It's got our logo embroidered on it instead 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.719 of printed, so it's not going to wear off. You 00:17:44.719 --> 00:17:47.259 can buy our patch. We've got a patch on there, 00:17:47.380 --> 00:17:51.940 a nice beanie. Which I just bought one I got 00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:54.160 to try out this weekend. Yeah, I need to order 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.819 a new beanie, and I'm going to design a new zippered 00:17:56.819 --> 00:17:59.519 hoodie here soon because I like zippered hoodies, 00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:01.539 and we don't have any on the store right now. 00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:06.279 Then, obviously, you can get our stickers. We've 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.619 got the all -famous koozie, which I also need 00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:12.440 to buy a new one because I gave mine away. and 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.559 we've got a can -shaped glass with a top and 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.740 a straw on it, which I use every single night 00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:22.819 next to my bed because if my cups don't have 00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:25.819 tops on them, my cat drinks it all. Yeah, dude. 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.759 What's up with that? They have perfectly good 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.299 water, and our cat knocks over our glass cups 00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:36.259 on the kitchen just to get into the water. They 00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:38.420 put their whole head in it. They're the worst. 00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:42.920 Retarded, man. He knocked it over on all my phones 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:50.240 and my alarm clock and my e -reader and all that 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.440 stuff and just soaked everything. I'm like, you 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:58.559 little cocksucker. Okay. Yeah. So, well, hold 00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:00.500 on. We got to go back now, now that we've got 00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:03.660 our plug in. Hey, yeah, check out HOA2. I have 00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:05.799 a lot of the same things Alex already said. Anyway, 00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:11.000 so back to... Back to our really successful Cords 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.759 of Calf, dude. Cords of Calf was great. So did 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.420 we ever get a full count of how many people actually 00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:22.339 showed up? Was it 10, 15? 19. So 19 people. We 00:19:22.339 --> 00:19:26.779 had a couple kids. My kids showed up. Shane's 00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:28.559 kids were there. They were all playing together. 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:31.579 It was really fun. It was a really good day. 00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:35.039 No rain. It looked like it was going to. It rained. 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.980 It rained at the beginning. Yeah, just for a 00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:39.680 sec. Just before everyone showed up, it rained 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.599 a little bit. But, I mean, throughout the whole 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.000 thing, it didn't. It was good. We had firewood. 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.880 We had a shit ton of donuts that I was not expecting 00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:51.319 were going to be gone through. Oh, my God. I 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:52.940 should have bought two of those sprinkle ones. 00:19:53.140 --> 00:19:55.160 I knew the kids were going to annihilate it, 00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:58.700 but, jeez, they were gone. It was like, they're 00:19:58.700 --> 00:20:01.720 like $6 a box, and I bought like four of them. 00:20:03.230 --> 00:20:06.009 I came back, getting four. I'm like, cool, I'll 00:20:06.009 --> 00:20:08.329 have extra for a couple of days. I went in there. 00:20:08.369 --> 00:20:10.470 Towards the end of the event, there was two left 00:20:10.470 --> 00:20:13.049 out of every single box, even the ones that Mark 00:20:13.049 --> 00:20:17.390 got. I was like, God damn. We went through almost 00:20:17.390 --> 00:20:22.289 two whole coffee things from whatever coffee 00:20:22.289 --> 00:20:25.910 shop that was. Big B. Big B. Big B's. Duncan 00:20:25.910 --> 00:20:29.990 got the good shit. Yeah, I was really happy with 00:20:29.990 --> 00:20:35.549 it. Yeah. And in the future, you'll just have 00:20:35.549 --> 00:20:38.309 to watch our show notes. And I think I like the 00:20:38.309 --> 00:20:40.470 idea. Did you hear what Craig was saying about 00:20:40.470 --> 00:20:47.009 the three words thing? Yeah. I'm in the middle 00:20:47.009 --> 00:20:49.609 about that. Like, I think it's really cool. But 00:20:49.609 --> 00:20:52.890 then how much extra work is it going to be for 00:20:52.890 --> 00:20:55.609 a listener to get into? Like, I don't know exactly 00:20:55.609 --> 00:20:59.640 how that works. My thought is. We start doing 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.599 the three words, and we say the three words during 00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.279 the episode, but we put the coordinates in the 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:09.299 show notes. Because I don't want to sit here 00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:16.480 and rattle off negative 40 .835 by negative 90 00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:21.400 .2. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Because 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.539 then it includes both sides, because I don't 00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:28.150 have that app for whatever that is. It's really 00:21:28.150 --> 00:21:32.589 cool, though. I'm absolutely sure it is. It's 00:21:32.589 --> 00:21:33.890 just one of those things, like, I don't know 00:21:33.890 --> 00:21:36.369 if I want to add more stuff to my phone right 00:21:36.369 --> 00:21:38.769 now. Yeah, I feel you. It might come in the future, 00:21:38.849 --> 00:21:41.369 like, if we start doing a lot more. I think we 00:21:41.369 --> 00:21:44.390 should do merch drops. That would be fun. Yep. 00:21:45.309 --> 00:21:48.730 And do the three -word. We could do that specifically, 00:21:49.069 --> 00:21:51.869 do a merch drop in a random part of Michigan. 00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:55.140 Make sure it's sealed up really nice, and then 00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:57.440 do three words, and then whoever comes upon it 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.480 gets the merch. I like that idea. That'd be kind 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.380 of fun. Like a geocache almost. Yeah, but for 00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:07.259 listeners. But for listeners. And if you don't 00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:09.019 listen, you don't see it. We won't post it anywhere 00:22:09.019 --> 00:22:12.240 else but where we have a podcast. The Snail Trail 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:15.079 guys do something similar. They made these little 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.019 coin things, and then they've hidden them all 00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:23.099 over. California. And if you find enough to say 00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:25.920 snail trail, then you win a whole mechanic set 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:33.140 from gear wrench tools. So temper trip. Has anyone 00:22:33.140 --> 00:22:37.380 actually done it yet? I guess one guy did. I 00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:41.240 don't know. I'm not fully sure on that one. That's 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:43.140 really cool. There's a lot of cool stuff that 00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:46.400 we're planning on doing more, more, uh, cords 00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.849 and calf more. More drops, I'm sure. We'll do 00:22:49.849 --> 00:22:52.470 some more giveaways, I'm sure. We're just kind 00:22:52.470 --> 00:22:56.130 of getting into this. And as you guys might or 00:22:56.130 --> 00:22:58.430 might not know, it is an investment to do any 00:22:58.430 --> 00:23:02.430 of this from us. So we kind of have to take it 00:23:02.430 --> 00:23:05.690 slow because we're not rich either. And we got 00:23:05.690 --> 00:23:08.130 a... We had a... We had an event we were going 00:23:08.130 --> 00:23:09.970 to do with the cryptids, but I think we've held 00:23:09.970 --> 00:23:12.150 that off this year. Yeah, I think we're going 00:23:12.150 --> 00:23:15.150 to hold that off because we wanted to do a cryptid 00:23:15.150 --> 00:23:18.869 -type hunt, do some cutouts and stuff, but the 00:23:18.869 --> 00:23:21.549 plywood, the stenciling, the cutting out, the 00:23:21.549 --> 00:23:24.670 painting. The time. And to do the time and the 00:23:24.670 --> 00:23:28.009 multiple figures to put it out, it's a lot. Like, 00:23:28.009 --> 00:23:31.369 I think I'm postponing my dyno, my Rex run. Oh, 00:23:31.369 --> 00:23:35.759 shit. Just because one of the other main organizers, 00:23:36.019 --> 00:23:38.619 he's a teacher. He's literally got a Jurassic 00:23:38.619 --> 00:23:43.660 Park Subie. It's a themed Subie and everything. 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:46.460 He was going to bring a bunch of dinosaur stuff 00:23:46.460 --> 00:23:49.619 too. He just realized that he wouldn't be able 00:23:49.619 --> 00:23:53.319 to make it. So to me, it's like, hey, no big 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:55.259 deal. There's plenty of other stuff going on. 00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:58.599 It won't hurt us to wait until next year and 00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.559 just plan it out better. Right. I, I'm not upset 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:05.940 about it. Gives us more chance to get some dinosaur 00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:08.460 costumes. Maybe by the next time we can do it 00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:11.180 in October and have some dino costumes. And, 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.200 you know, I wanted to do like a tag event with 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:18.279 dinosaurs chasing the kids. And maybe, maybe 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:20.880 like some dinosaur sounds in the middle of the 00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:22.980 night out in the woods just to scare them a lot. 00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:27.400 I don't know. So we'll see. But it'll give us 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:29.500 more time to plan it out. And these events are. 00:24:30.399 --> 00:24:35.099 Really fun. So I kind of don't want to half -ass 00:24:35.099 --> 00:24:36.839 it, and that takes it off my plate so that I 00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.680 don't have to half -ass it. You know what I mean? 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:43.579 We need to get out and do some scouting for cords 00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:51.079 and calf October. So I have an idea. So there's 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:54.079 this place that we all go that we really enjoy 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.960 with some decent wheeling. that I'm not going 00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.200 to say the name of because we haven't decided 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:01.099 it yet, but you know which one I'm talking about. 00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:08.299 It's up north of Reed City. Oh, yeah. That particular 00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:14.480 place is a state area, so we don't have to abide 00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:19.839 by the 20 -people limit. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah, 00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:21.779 I think I know what you're talking about. Was 00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:25.220 it the place where you broke Mark's tailgate? 00:25:26.029 --> 00:25:31.589 Yes. Swing out. Okay. So I think. If anybody 00:25:31.589 --> 00:25:33.390 listens, they might know. Got a couple areas 00:25:33.390 --> 00:25:36.150 there. I think that that would be worth using 00:25:36.150 --> 00:25:40.569 four cords and calf at least once. Yeah. Yeah. 00:25:40.630 --> 00:25:42.490 I'd love to do that place on White Cloud next 00:25:42.490 --> 00:25:45.910 to the lake, but maybe for a smaller one since 00:25:45.910 --> 00:25:48.049 we're worried about the people part of it. See, 00:25:48.049 --> 00:25:51.529 and that's the thing is we're not going to be 00:25:51.529 --> 00:25:54.390 making events anymore. There's too much around 00:25:54.390 --> 00:25:58.390 that. But if you listen to the show, we'll have 00:25:58.390 --> 00:26:00.269 it in the show notes. We'll talk about it in 00:26:00.269 --> 00:26:04.509 the show. Pay attention to our socials. We'll 00:26:04.509 --> 00:26:06.950 put out reels when we drop the chords, then you 00:26:06.950 --> 00:26:08.650 can check the show notes, and boom, there's the 00:26:08.650 --> 00:26:11.630 chords. And you know, if you really, really, 00:26:11.710 --> 00:26:14.410 really want to go, you can send one of us a message. 00:26:14.569 --> 00:26:16.890 Yeah, more than that. Oh, yeah. And depending 00:26:16.890 --> 00:26:18.490 on if we like you or not, we'll give you the 00:26:18.490 --> 00:26:21.599 chords. Because if we don't like you, we're just 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:26.380 trying to make this outrageously big. We don't 00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:28.440 need it. As much as I would love for this to 00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:32.539 be like a rigs and coffee sized event, it's not 00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:37.660 sustainable for this type of event. We can't 00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:40.480 afford for it to be sustainable. That's really 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:42.700 the main thing. The thing is, if we were doing 00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:45.160 it that big, we'd have to get permits every month. 00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:48.750 And it just, it's not going to work. It'd be 00:26:48.750 --> 00:26:52.750 one thing if we had the money from external areas, 00:26:52.890 --> 00:26:56.009 if someone might be sponsoring us, like a company, 00:26:56.190 --> 00:27:00.150 an off -road company nearby that works on, you 00:27:00.150 --> 00:27:05.690 know, lifted trucks. Jeeps. Jeeps. You know, 00:27:05.789 --> 00:27:09.069 as a really large online warehouse. Yeah, yeah, 00:27:09.089 --> 00:27:12.829 you know, right here in our hometown, you know. 00:27:13.130 --> 00:27:15.930 And, you know, they'd never have enough stuff. 00:27:16.750 --> 00:27:20.670 They always have a ton. They have a super cool 00:27:20.670 --> 00:27:24.910 Cadillac out front right now. Yep. Yeah. So, 00:27:24.910 --> 00:27:27.890 I mean, hey, you know, we're not talking about 00:27:27.890 --> 00:27:32.430 any company in particular. No, no. Just one that 00:27:32.430 --> 00:27:36.390 hypothetically may exist. Yeah. I mean, but if 00:27:36.390 --> 00:27:38.390 there was someone who did fit the bill that wanted 00:27:38.390 --> 00:27:41.170 to help out with these kind of events, we'd be 00:27:41.170 --> 00:27:44.589 more than happy. And they could come. They could. 00:27:44.690 --> 00:27:47.930 Come sit up. It would be. I might reach out to 00:27:47.930 --> 00:27:51.049 a hypothetical company that may exist to see 00:27:51.049 --> 00:27:53.369 if they want to do one in their parking lot over 00:27:53.369 --> 00:27:55.670 the winter, because that would be pretty sick. 00:27:57.109 --> 00:28:00.369 Yes, it would. Yes, it would. That one could 00:28:00.369 --> 00:28:02.029 potentially be a little bit bigger than what 00:28:02.029 --> 00:28:04.210 we usually have. I don't know. The parking lot 00:28:04.210 --> 00:28:06.210 size, do you think it would be bigger or smaller? 00:28:06.470 --> 00:28:09.750 I mean, it is a privately owned area, so I figure 00:28:09.750 --> 00:28:13.109 there is some grace there to get permits. If 00:28:13.109 --> 00:28:17.150 we work with... uh hypothetical really good restaurant 00:28:17.150 --> 00:28:20.470 that's right next door maybe we could take over 00:28:20.470 --> 00:28:25.869 their parking lot too true so we could definitely 00:28:25.869 --> 00:28:28.789 do it in an abandoned parking lot of a store 00:28:28.789 --> 00:28:31.089 that closed down that they have thousands of 00:28:31.089 --> 00:28:35.410 that might hypothetically be here but just got 00:28:35.410 --> 00:28:38.470 purchased by another company and is currently 00:28:38.470 --> 00:28:43.109 getting filled with rental equipment oh Oh, I 00:28:43.109 --> 00:28:45.869 didn't know that. Yeah. I haven't been in Grant 00:28:45.869 --> 00:28:49.309 in months. Not really. I haven't been in Grant 00:28:49.309 --> 00:28:53.549 in like the downtown area by that area in a while 00:28:53.549 --> 00:28:55.349 because I don't have any need to go down there 00:28:55.349 --> 00:29:00.230 anymore. I'm there every day. Yeah. So that's 00:29:00.230 --> 00:29:02.970 interesting. Yeah. I mean, there's lots of possibilities, 00:29:03.150 --> 00:29:05.470 guys. And if you have an idea, let us know. Yeah, 00:29:05.490 --> 00:29:08.549 for sure. So far, we only have one super active 00:29:08.549 --> 00:29:11.579 listener. And I would really like to have more 00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:14.259 super active listeners. I hope we're talking 00:29:14.259 --> 00:29:15.680 about Wreck -It Rob, because Wreck -It Rob's 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:22.000 great. Zach. Oh, wait. Oh, that Zach. Yeah. Zach 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.680 always gets - He was asking about insurance recently. 00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:26.660 Yeah. That's because I was talking to him on 00:29:26.660 --> 00:29:29.279 mine, because I think he heard our podcast where 00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:30.940 we were talking about our insane insurance. To 00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:33.220 put it out, Michigan insurance is some of the 00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:35.519 highest in the country. That's why our insurance 00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:40.079 is insane. California insurance is cheaper than 00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:44.819 ours. Let that sink in. That feels so wrong to 00:29:44.819 --> 00:29:49.960 say that, actually. So if you guys have any ideas, 00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:54.259 you guys want to help work with us, anything 00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:57.180 like that, let us know. I do. That did. That 00:29:57.180 --> 00:29:59.539 kind of chalks up our 30 minutes and our wrap. 00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:02.619 Yeah. I'm really excited about cords and calf 00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:06.099 though. It's an event that to me is pretty special 00:30:06.099 --> 00:30:09.700 and I think could really become something really 00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:13.359 good. Yeah. And if you guys could bring some 00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:17.079 donuts next time and maybe firewood, that'd be 00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:20.240 great. Yeah. We did run out of firewood, but 00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:23.019 we were okay. A normal rigs and coffee last what? 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.740 Two hours. Yeah. Typically. Yeah. We were not 00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:29.019 expecting to be almost there for like, we were 00:30:29.019 --> 00:30:32.240 there for eight hours. I got home at like seven 00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:33.680 and seen. It's like, you're not home yet. Like, 00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:37.960 Nope. Just got home. She was talking about dinner. 00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:40.460 She's like, you guys can stop at a restaurant 00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:42.839 because I just getting out. And I'm like, yep, 00:30:42.900 --> 00:30:44.779 I'm almost at home. And she's like, what the 00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:47.339 fuck? We should definitely. Yeah. We should definitely 00:30:47.339 --> 00:30:52.480 do. Like, lunch next time. Because I ate donuts, 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.480 and then I didn't eat again until dinner time. 00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.420 Yeah. We should do hot dogs or something. Hot 00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:04.339 dogs are cheap. Yeah. The can of hash and donuts 00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:06.680 did not last me until dinner time. Oh, dude, 00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.279 that's all I ate was those donuts that day. Same. 00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:14.420 Donuts and three monsters. I was starving. Yeah, 00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:20.859 Cords and Calf was great. Yes. All right. Have 00:31:20.859 --> 00:31:23.700 a good day. Bye. Have a good day. Later.
