I mean, 22 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough to have a grandma. I had 23 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: two of them, actually, and they were both super supportive. 24 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: One was a school teacher. The one you're referring to 25 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: is my grandma Ruby. She's the one who loaned me 26 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: money from my first book, gave me fifteen dollars, paid 27 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: her back. But she was always I don't know, I mean, 28 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: I just would go work on the ranch over there. 29 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: So my grandpa was very hard. She was always like that, supportive, 30 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: but she was very tough to She's part Indian, just 31 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: hard work in Oklahoma ranch person that moved through Oregon, 32 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: and so she was supportive, always loved me. I always 33 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: supported me, but um still tough in her own right. 34 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: I love that you you call her out in that 35 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: and that you said that you paid back family. And 36 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of a thing where families like, hey, can 37 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: you loan me? It's like, yeah, where's that back? And 38 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: you did that. But I think that when you start 39 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: to hit on your book. Your book has a couple 40 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: of different titles. To me, May I endure is what 41 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: you chose, and I love that, But I also think 42 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: passion would be a good novel or a name for 43 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: your book. Also, solitude will be a good name for 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: your book. But endure. You have to endure you know, 45 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: all this passion inside yourself to put it out there, 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: and uh, you know you put it into writing at 47 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: a young age. You talk about that, and and then 48 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: you you brought it into these these books where you're 49 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: talking You're like, hey, I'm not telling you really, I 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: don't want to tell you all about the book. I 51 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: want you to go buy the book and check it out, right, 52 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: because I could sit here and just spit all of 53 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: it back at you. But you know, to tease my listener, 54 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: you know, you're like, I'm not telling you what to do, right, 55 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, and I love that point of view. Yeah, 56 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: that's been my whole thing. Still even today, I still 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: struggle with, you know, feeling worthy, feeling I do get 58 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: a lot of attention now and this this book is 59 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: actually I didn't really even know if it was gonna 60 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: be good. I actually was reading this book like doing 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: the audio. I'm not an audio guy. This is what 62 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: you do, so I mean, you're great at it, but 63 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm I hate being on podcast. I hate I like 64 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: hosting a podcast like what you're doing, because if I 65 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: expected to be the interesting person, I'm like, oh boy, 66 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: I just don't like it. I like talking interesting people, 67 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: but it is It's like, so I was doing the 68 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: audio for this book and I was reading, I was like, 69 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: is this book even good? I mean, of course everybody 70 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: thinks that their story is interesting, right, I mean everybody's like, 71 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: has this big whatever I came from this, I overcame bad. 72 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: And everybody's got these why why they're special? Everybody thinks 73 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: they're special, And I'm like, am I just does that mean? Now? 74 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: I think that people are gonna care? Why would people 75 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: care about what I've done? So I've struggled with just 76 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: wondering whether I've done anything noteworthy, because you know, I've 77 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: I've trained with like a gaggas or Olympians or these 78 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: UFC fighters, and I might, well, that's very measurable. You 79 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: went to the Olympics. You are a special human, right, 80 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: I've never done anything so I've trained with them. I 81 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: haven't done that. But the point I think what I'm 82 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: seeing now with the reviews on the book and and 83 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: all the messages from people, it's like it's given the 84 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: average person, which that's what I say. I am hope 85 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: that they can maybe achieve something special. Maybe maybe a 86 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: whole busn't lost. And because they're not seeing themselves on 87 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: TV or there, maybe they're not going to the Olympics 88 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: or maybe they're not. That still doesn't mean that if 89 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: year after year, decade after decade, just put it into work, 90 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: you can't have success and stand out in your own way. 91 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: And so that's that's the moral to the story. Really, yeah, 92 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: and it's true, you know, And I I tell people 93 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: on my side as an entrepreneur, I own a couple 94 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: of businesses here in Salt Lake City and I'm doing okay. 95 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: And you know, it's like, you know, if you're passionate 96 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: about it, you should follow that, right. So whatever you 97 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: love so much, that's what I invest in stock wise. 98 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: So if I love to eat, you know, certain Potain chips, 99 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna invest in that company. If I love to 100 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: play a certain video game, I invest in that company. 101 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: If I like that, I'll invest in it. If if 102 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: there's a gym that I want to invest in, That's 103 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 1: that's how it is. So it's like, if you're passionate 104 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: about it and you believe in it and it's not. 105 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how you're gonna let it 106 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: fail if it's all you you know. Yeah, that's also 107 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the thing. So I took something bow hunting, which both 108 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, why why would a bow hunter ever be celebrated, 109 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: you know? But where I was from, in this small town, 110 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: it's like hunters were like they were kind of respected, 111 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: looked up to, you know, you you know, did you 112 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: go get your buck this year and you've got me 113 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: in the freezer, and hey, you've got any steaks you 114 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: could you could spare us? And so that was like 115 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: hunters were respected. But in the grand scheme of things, 116 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: because hunting and the culture is changing so much, it's 117 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: like it seems crazy to take something as niche or 118 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: as unique as bowl hunting. And that's what I'm getting 119 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: attention for. I mean, people some of the biggest athletes 120 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: in the world are sending me messages saying that their 121 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: book impact or my book impacted them. I'm like a 122 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: bow hunter. So that's that's the moral. I mean, that's 123 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: the what you're kind of saying is like you follow 124 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: your passion, and your passion can lead you to who 125 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: knows where, you know, other people's passion, Yeah, that's in 126 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: your heart. It's and I think I've noticed that with people. 127 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: That's what that draws me to people. If you see 128 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 1: somebody's passionate about something, you know, it makes you interested 129 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: in it, right, right, It's true. It's what I say. 130 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, wow, you do this, you're so into this, 131 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: tell me a little bit more about it. And and 132 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: chances are that person will you know. That's what I've 133 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: learned is that if I just say, hey, tell me 134 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: about your business, it's like, well, Rad, my accountant the 135 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: other day just like totally just didn't do the numbers right. 136 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: And I'm just like, alright, business analysis. I don't know 137 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: if I'm ready for that today, but really really, you know. 138 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: And and something else. So growing up, so my father 139 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: was a Green Beret, and uh, growing up in the eighties, 140 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: the number one compound bow hunter in my life was Rambo. Yes, okay, 141 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: all right. It's the twisting of it, it's the latching 142 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: it up in the it's the pulling it back and 143 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: drawing it, you know, and the arrow tip everything. He 144 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: just you know, the ultimate hunter right there. And and 145 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: my dad got a compound bow. He was always into recurves, right, 146 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: And if you don't know what a recurve his listener. 147 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: A recurp is where you have to like it's kind 148 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: of like your archers on the ramparts of a castle 149 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: where they shoot off of it. That's a recurve bow. 150 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: One string. You have to kind of bend it in 151 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: a funky way to put it on and and leash 152 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: it and then um, A compound bow has multiple strings, uh, 153 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: some bearings and a pulley system. And so I think 154 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: my dad always had it, like at seventy five to 155 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: ninety pounds, and I was a little He's like, go 156 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: ahead and try. And I sit there and I try 157 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: to pull and I couldn't, and he'd pull it and 158 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: then go right back. He's like, what's your problem, what's 159 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: your problem? So I finally got it to pull back 160 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: and then I let it go and he's like, you 161 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: never do that. That's a dry fire. Yeah, I know. 162 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm just saying learning my lessons, right. So then we 163 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: wake up and it's five in the morning. He's like, 164 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: let's go, and he takes me out to these ponds 165 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: and Caysville, Utah. There's three ponds and he's now got 166 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: a real on his bow on his compound. Okay, and 167 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: he's hammering at carp. He's got this. It just goes 168 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: right through and it prongs the open and it pulls 169 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: him right to Yeah. So in the eighties and nineties, 170 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: that's that's my life, bro. And so when you're sitting 171 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: here saying you're going out bow hunting, I know a 172 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: guy that bow hunted, So I get you there you go. 173 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: We used to go cart fishing on Timing and my 174 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: buddy Roy and back in Oregon you could there's a 175 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: lot of black bear, but the outlaw baiting for black 176 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: bear ninety four. Before that, though, we'd go and we 177 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: get these carp and then we'd use does for bear bait. 178 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: But we used to go out and love just wading 179 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: out through the water and you see the cart. They'd 180 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: be spawning, so you see him in the grass and 181 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: grass and be all wrestling around, and you'd like read 182 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: the water where the fish was hit it, and we'd 183 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: use that for bear bay. So I've done some cart 184 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: belt hunting myself. Early in the morning, my dad, you're 185 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: about running a marathon, you know, down to St. George 186 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: or training to run with a rucksack sixty eight miles 187 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: with like pounds in the back of it, up and 188 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: down the streets and stuff. So I'll just ride my 189 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: bike with him, you know. So I've really seen these 190 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: guys with that extreme athleticism like yourself. Right, Okay, you 191 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: are an extreme athlete. Whether that gold medal hangs around 192 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: your neck, it is there, right, So you're putting yourself 193 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: through these paces maybe to make up for it. And 194 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: your book really pulls you through solitude because as you're 195 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: growing up, you know, you're going through some difficulties in 196 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: your family. And I just want to let you know 197 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: that I did read it. You know what, I really 198 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: do think that you know, you're going off to your 199 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: grandma's house, you know, twenty miles away and just, uh, 200 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: you know, I'll read the book. You guys have to 201 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: read this book, okay, because you're just gonna feel it. 202 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: You're gonna read it and you're gonna enjoy it, and 203 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna so I have a hard time reading a 204 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: lot of books. I'm not the biggest I talk a lot. Well. 205 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: You can do the audio book. I do that, as 206 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I do that pretty well. I 207 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: just think that you wrote a really well written book 208 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: that talked to me okay and thank you. Yeah, I 209 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: mean with my grandma too and doing all that. It's like, 210 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: so that was part most of my life. And you know, 211 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: kind of the message in the book is that there's 212 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: a saying born to lose, built to win, and I 213 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: was like, I felt born to lose, but I definitely 214 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: didn't feel built to win for many years. And then 215 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I was thinking, well, maybe all 216 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: this struggle and all this heartache and you know, not 217 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: feeling like I belong, maybe this is has built me 218 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: to win, and so maybe it's given me that edge. 219 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: And I talked about that in the book too. It's like, 220 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, my mom could read that book and think 221 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: that God, what failed because I was so unhappy, right 222 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: and like your parents and you know, didn't like the stepdad. 223 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: Just wanted to try to fit in somewhere, and she 224 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: could feel like she failed. And I had to read 225 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: sure that No. I mean, because I went through that. 226 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: That's why I'm who I am and I wouldn't want 227 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: to change anything. But it's like there's times when you're 228 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: going through life and you're life, I just you know, 229 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: this life is gonna beat me. It's gonna beat me 230 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: down and I can't take it anymore. And that's what 231 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: it felt like for a long time. And then once 232 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: I changed that my mindset and it's just like this 233 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,119 Speaker 1: doesn't have to define me, and then it's all about overcoming. 234 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: And then it's all about seeking out challenge. Instead of 235 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: saying this has beating me down and this is gonna 236 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: break me. It's like, no, I want to seek out 237 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: that challenge. So that's what the second half of my 238 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: life has been about, is seeking out Like your dad. 239 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm actually fascinated about your dad's green barre. Dude, 240 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: That's that's freaking hardcore, is he was. And I have 241 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: that to live up to on my own lineage, right 242 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: like my own legacy to leave out there. And so 243 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: he knows what I'm doing because before I passed, he 244 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: passed away. He got to see me grow into who 245 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: I am pretty much today, and so I'm pretty proud 246 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: to see, you know, my dad knows I'm doing the 247 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: right thing and carrying on his last day two thousand thirteen, 248 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: Friday the thirteen September. Yeah, it's tough. Right before my birthday, 249 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: I was turning our Yeah, I was. I'm forty four now, 250 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: so it's been a minute. But Green Beret sixty three 251 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: heart condition. You know, you give yourself, you give the 252 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: military a healthy, able body. They put you through checks 253 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: and tests, and he got lots of training and investment 254 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: put into him. And and then you just drop a 255 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: couple of guys wrong on a night drop or airborne 256 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: jump and they all get jacked up, and then all 257 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden they tried to recover from that, and 258 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of a downhill process. Yeah. You know, the 259 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: military can can spit young up real quick. And so 260 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: that was something I wanted to mention to you, is 261 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: do you do anything with like these vets that are 262 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: coming out, you know, and they want to go out 263 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: and bow hunt, you know, you know, is there any 264 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: type of place where you're getting pulled into that these days? 265 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: Because I think that that would be a really cool 266 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: thing if you're not already doing it. Yeah, yeah, I 267 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: mean I obviously David Goggins is a vet, my son 268 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: actually in the military right now, and and I was 269 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: just talking to him right before I got on with you, 270 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: and I said, I said, I had to get off 271 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: and do this but thank you. Yeah, he's a ranger 272 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: in the army right now. So I mean I have 273 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, I did Jockos podcast. I mean I feel 274 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: like I've done the Black Rifle podcast, and I talked 275 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: when I talked to those guys to this, I own 276 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: their stock by the way, Okay, yeah, of course. Yeah, 277 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, yeah, you and Joe Rogan. Yeah, 278 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, bro. Yeah, the stock market is 279 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: taking a hit lately. I don't even want to know. 280 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: But it's a long game, right, yes, exactly, it's a 281 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: surfain wave, bro, I just write it. That's it. So 282 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: I don't feel even worthy when I'm in talking to 283 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: veterans people a certainly country because they've i mean not 284 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: only their beasts, but they actually signed their name on 285 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: the line and said, my serving my country is more 286 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: important than whatever goals I have, you know. And it's 287 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: like my son from everybody else to your dad. It's 288 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: like I can't even talk about how much respect I 289 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: have for that commitment and that just honoring our country. 290 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: And that's why our country is as strong as it 291 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: is because of me in like that, Well, it's the 292 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: volunteer military that makes us the best. You know, we 293 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: are we we have because they want to be there. 294 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: They choose to be there. They say I will be 295 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: here and I will do this, and I understand why, 296 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: and so that is better than some type of forced 297 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: situation where you know, you hear this on the streets. So, oh, 298 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: we should have a forced military. I'm like, you know, 299 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: I'd rather have the guys want to be there than 300 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: I not want to be there. So what do you 301 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: do with that one? You're right, the military it's coming 302 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: out as a big, big transition for people who served. 303 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're living at the pinnacle, right, I mean, 304 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: I can imagine anytime you do something exciting, even coming 305 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: back from wherever to regular life as a transition. So 306 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: imagine being at the pinnacle of military service and then 307 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: having a transition back to a regular job in regular life. 308 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: Of course that'd be hard. But bow hunting has given 309 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: guys like that an outlet to their focus and it 310 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: has been great, And I've shared I've shared plenty of 311 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: camps with military veterans and you know, love just communicating 312 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: with them on social media has been a great avenue 313 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: for that. So yeah, I'm I'm a big proponent of 314 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: helping those guys when I can, that's awesome. You know. 315 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: I think that some of us out here started shooting arrows, 316 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: at least myself, you know, in boy Scouts and so, 317 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, as my father he kind of said you're 318 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: gonna get into the Scouts. And I followed that step 319 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: and went through. And then every Saturday morning he would 320 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: send me up to the park eight am. I was like, 321 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: so early, Dad, the sun's coming up. He's like go. 322 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: And it was to practice with this guy that was 323 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: teaching me how to do archery all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 324 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: So I had to go to my archery lessons. And 325 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: so he really was a big believer. So I didn't 326 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: really think, okay. It's like okay, I get this book. 327 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: It's called Endure, you know, and I'm like, all right, 328 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: let's see what this endure is. And then I start 329 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: reading and I'm like, oh, compound bow, all right, stop 330 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: shooting the rifle. Okay. So another thing my dad as 331 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: a trick was he'd go hunting with a mouser back 332 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: in the day. And he only went one time because 333 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: he got the deer, but we didn't really eat it. 334 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: He said, you know, he's like you know, son, if 335 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna really eat this deer, I don't 336 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: really want to take the deer. And I said, okay, Dad, 337 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: And but he we'd go out on hunts and he 338 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: would send me out to be a spotter and he'd 339 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: kind of fall asleep, and he's like, now just scan 340 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: and you see anything, movie, just nudge me. But he 341 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: always bring two bullets, that's all. He would bring his 342 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: two rounds. Yeah, one for the first shot because if 343 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: he missed. If he missed, he figured he'd scared everything. 344 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: A second one for the way back to the truck. 345 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: So if he saw one way back, you would pop it. 346 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: So you'd only take two rounds with this eight millimeters 347 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: seven millimeter Mauser German Mauser. Yeah. I mean the scope 348 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: must have been now that I think about it, with 349 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: today's modern scopes, you know, it's crazy. Well, it's still 350 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: it's still the hunt, you know. I mean, even though 351 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,719 Speaker 1: compan boast have changed a lot, it's still pretty much 352 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: a close range endeavor. I mean, so I still want 353 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: to get forty yards, even though that the equipment has 354 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: got so much better. And I don't rifle hunt, but 355 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: I know rifles have improved and accuracy and it and 356 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: to the point of like you're so far away, it's 357 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: like what you're doing is like the whites of their eyes. 358 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: You know, you're like right in there and you've got 359 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: the scent on you. You don't want to smell like 360 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: anything other than better. Yeah, that's actually the challenge because 361 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, animals are very good to staying alive there. 362 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: That's their focus every day of the year. So when 363 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: you're trying to get out there and get within their 364 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: red zone, it's a big challenge. But you know, where 365 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: you grew up, that is a big hunting state. I 366 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: mean Utah, Utah, great state for hunters. All the kids 367 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: had always been out of school. Yeah yeah, yeah, they 368 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: should do that back in the day. Yeah they every October. Yeah, 369 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: I know that's that's changed too, But that's that's exactly 370 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: exactly how I grew up to. It was a small 371 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: logging community here, and you know it's like that that 372 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: week of opening right after opening weekend, it's like football 373 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: practice was you know, pretty yeah, but he was on 374 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: hunting with their family. But anyway, it's a hunting is 375 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: definitely still started there. And now, like I said, just 376 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: from social media, for example, The craziest request I had 377 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: for gating me, which that's kind of a thing now, 378 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: is like you know, people are thinking about, wait, how 379 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: is this me? You know, like days and farmed and 380 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: everything else. So anyway, it was funny Lionel Richie's sun, 381 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: which I would never expect this Miles Richie. I sent 382 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: him some elkin bear me because he was like, hey, wow, 383 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: oh you I've been this and that. This is like 384 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: the most random connection. And I said, you really follow me. 385 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: I said, okay, you want to trust him out with 386 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: me because as a hunter, to me, that's a big thing. 387 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: And I talked about that in the book. Dudes, I 388 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: feel like hunters are providers. So I'm like, you know 389 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: that this is our community now, social media is the community. 390 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: If I can be a hunter and I have some meat, 391 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to share it. And so he loved it. 392 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: It was It's just it feels so good as a 393 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: hunter to be able to provide to others, you know. 394 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: And that's another thing about, you know, providing food. And 395 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, I was wondering about that because, like I said, 396 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: we didn't really go after that first year. My dad 397 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: got as young kids and and he tried to make 398 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: a goose happen as well, and we didn't really because 399 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: it was our own goose. So He's like, I was 400 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: mad when he cut that. I wasn't there. My mom 401 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: took me out to the store because she didn't know 402 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: he was gonna do it, and he just like did 403 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: his thing to the goose. She was so mad, dude. 404 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: My mom was the maddest I've ever seen her. She 405 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: was very not very mad at all. And uh, put 406 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: trying to form that connection between food and it was 407 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: and providing and and yes, and animals die for us 408 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: to survive. He I can see he was trying to 409 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: do that, yes, any and he was, and uh you know, 410 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: and he did as a later on in life, he 411 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: went through a couple of bouts of like going vegan, 412 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: not going vegan, you know, not diet coke, diet coke. 413 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: Stop drinking diet coke. Anybody, please just stop drinking that stuff. Okay, 414 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: just stop putting poison in your body. Water h to 415 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: a quality, please please please. I'm speaking from my dad's 416 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: perspective here, Okay, but you know he did, he tried 417 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: all those things, and I think what he put into 418 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: me was an understanding of where food comes from, where 419 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: your electricity comes from, what this roof costed to put 420 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: over your head, you know, how to be an entrepreneur, 421 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: how to not waste right. He didn't want to shoot 422 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: something if we're going to waste it, and so he 423 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: made that very clear to us. And so I just 424 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: I really loved your book and it really has maybe 425 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: keep hammering you talk about that in there, right, You're like, 426 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: it's just like camera away. You know, it's just like 427 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: dicy Cameron. I'm over here in London and all these 428 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: things that are chiseled, they're all hammered away at bro 429 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: but not just like no one just poofed those up 430 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: three thousand years ago. So much history over there. Yeah, 431 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: and no, it's it's hard work. Is definitely the key 432 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: to whatever success we have in life. It's gonna take 433 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: hard work. I didn't want to touch go back to 434 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: the food and the connection. And you know, one thing 435 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: that I've read is that Americans waste throw away forty 436 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: of what they buy food wise, including meat. So it's 437 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: just like we've had it so good here we have 438 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, this is if you go to another country, 439 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: I mean maybe not London, but like I've been hunting 440 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: in Africa multiple times, and they'll they'll say they're like, hey, 441 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: so life's good in America, and I'm like, I mean, yeah, 442 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: we just granted how good You're sure? Then Americans like 443 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: the Thomas Land and here we are, we have so 444 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: much work throwing away that So when I think of 445 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: an animal's dying, like if we're buying steaks and like 446 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 1: I see people eat half the steak and it's like 447 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: throw away. The rest of it is once you have 448 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: that connection and you and like your dad was trying 449 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: to get to you, guys, is that there's perspective. Let's 450 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: have perspective on what's a steak here and our role 451 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: in it. And it's just like as hunters, I know, hunters, 452 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: they don't you know, you're taught you. I take the 453 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: skin off, I get the high tand I keep the 454 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: antlers so I can have antlers right up here in 455 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: this room and that you know, the memories of that 456 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: hunt and that animal is honored right there. I have. 457 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: The meat, of course is cherished. I love giving it out, 458 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: but it's not definitely not going into the garbage. So 459 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: if nothing else, hunters are taught to value that animals life, 460 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: not just the memories of it, but also what it's 461 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: yielding to us with with his flesh, which is meat. 462 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: And it's like, I like the hunting aspect and and 463 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: just what that's taught me, because maybe without hunting, maybe 464 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: I would be the guy scraping off meat and thrown 465 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: it away, you know, right. And you know, the other 466 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: thing is is like what makes you buy what's in 467 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: a store? You know, when you go to the grocery 468 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: store and you look at all the food that they've 469 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: been putting in your face for all these years, it's 470 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: like where the deal get made to buy that? Where 471 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: do that store? Go to Las Vegas and go to 472 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: a trade show and meet some guy at some club 473 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: and do a deal in the back room about your meat, okay, 474 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden, here it is right there, 475 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: and it is a big thing to know, you know, 476 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: farm to table, okay, whether you're vegetarian or you're gonna 477 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: eat straight up all the meat, you want to know 478 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: where it's coming from into your body, you know. And 479 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: in Alaska that they believe that the spirit of the 480 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: animal when it's hunted, And I kind of find I 481 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: follow this, okay, And so I you know, if I 482 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: had to eat a lot of mammal, I would in 483 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: this way, which is I would hunt it and then 484 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: once I got it, I would clean it, take it 485 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: and put it back to where I had killed it 486 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: so it can continue on with its journey. I do 487 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: like that mentality up there, with that culture of the 488 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: Indigenous people of Alaska. I don't know you've been up there. 489 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: Is that something that you found up there? They're definitely connected, 490 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: more connected because it's more wild for sure. I mean 491 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: people Alaska are tough people. They're hardy people, just because 492 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: it's harder living, you know. I mean I I wouldn't 493 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: stayed in San Diego. I did when I did Jackos podcast. 494 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: I was thinking, God, if I live down here, I'd 495 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: be so soft. It's so nice every day it's like 496 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: stunny and just so comfortable. So, you know, I think 497 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: we gain as humans by being in a challenging environment 498 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 1: because it does tougher. And so one thing I've noticed, 499 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: I've done seminars up in Alaska, and I'm looking out 500 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: there talking about boning, and I'm like, how am I 501 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: telling you guys? You guys survive up in these elements. 502 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: You're you should be telling me how to do it. 503 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: But one thing, I mean, I do like that connection 504 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: because I think what people who don't hunt, and I'm 505 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: not saying everybody has to hunt, And I think how 506 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: you've you've kind of connected the dots on you follow, 507 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: like the people of Alaska, how they honor the animal 508 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: and the journey of the animal right as as hunters, 509 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: whether you hunt or you don't hunt, whether you're vegan 510 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: or not, or vegetarian, whatever, But like for me, I 511 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: just wanted to be known that as a hunter in 512 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: which I hunt, I've hunted my whole life. I don't 513 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: actually enjoy the killing aspect of what I do. That 514 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: I feel like that animal has sacrificed itself and I'm 515 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: gonna respect that. But I'm not. I don't shoot and 516 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: I don't put an arrow through an animal, and I'm 517 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: not like smiling and laughing. It's I mean, there's a 518 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: life estate that animal offered us life. I took it grateful, 519 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: but I'm I'm grateful for that, like I'm not. I 520 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: have so much respect And it's like a bittersweet, somber 521 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: moment for me too, because I love animals. It's like 522 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: it's I love nature. I love knowing that we're part 523 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: of it. But the killing part is just part of 524 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: what hunters do as part of the journey. In the journey, 525 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: it made me thank you this. It's like, you're killing 526 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: is a necessary part of being a hunter. But it's 527 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: not the only part. There's so much more to it. 528 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: But that's the part. It's not not the most enjoyable 529 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: part for me. But it has to happen because we 530 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: meet out to people. They're not gonna be a surgeon. 531 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: You're like hiring it up. You're like, Okay, this is 532 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: the quarter hind, this is the chuck, this is the 533 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 1: this is the round. Like you got to quickly too. 534 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: We gotta clean in the field. Right when you hit 535 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: an animal with an arrow, I have to go up 536 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: and read the blood and see what kind of blood 537 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: it is. To see my arrow where it hit. Did 538 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: it hit lung so that it hit liver, did it 539 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: hit stomach? Did it didn't just graze muscles. So you're 540 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: you're almost a biologist in some ways, and you're kind 541 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: of reading this and it just makes you so much 542 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: more in tune. And then just by proxy, you're gonna 543 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: have respect for how that animal lives and what it survived. 544 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: And then when you go and like I said, I 545 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: don't expect everybody to hunt. I'll do the killing for you, 546 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: but just respect what it took to make that happen 547 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: by the steak. But just know that there was a 548 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: sacrifice made for this to happen. And I think we 549 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: don't we don't always get that when you go to 550 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: the store, just buy a cell ping wrap steak, you 551 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And that's exactly my point about 552 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 1: what you're putting into you is you know who told 553 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: you to put that like for you know who's the 554 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: guy that made the deal. I've been to trade shows 555 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: in my own industry and I know how deals are made, 556 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: and so it's only no different in the food industry. 557 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, Bill, you want to go on a cruise, 558 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: buy all the steak for me and put it in 559 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: your store and I'll get you on the cruise. I 560 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: get it. So it's like what you're doing harvesting, okay something, 561 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: So you know, and I'm not only being so sensitive 562 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: because you know, I am a mammalarian. I really don't 563 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: eat mammals myself, but if I had to, I would, 564 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: so I guess I'm gonna try it. I'm a try 565 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: it terrian. I try to do whatever I need to live, 566 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: okay if I have to. But if I'm at a store, 567 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: I necessarily don't have to buy what they're forcing me 568 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: to buy. I can eat what I want, you know. 569 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: And so by Mountain the Woods and I lived in Alaska, 570 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: I guess what i'd probably be doing. I'd probably going 571 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: after the things that made me eat. Okay. So that's 572 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: me kind of like in a nutshell. And I love 573 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: what you do because you're processing it. You know. I 574 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: don't see any type of like you know, organization being 575 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: upset at this. It's a it's a hunt, it's a harvest. 576 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: You're you're taking the animal, you're eating it. It's it's 577 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: not a bad thing, it's it's just not And and 578 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: living in Utah, I've just become acclimated to that too. 579 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, and I think it's part of it too. 580 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean, we we're talking about Alaska a lot, but 581 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: it's like when you have to survive, Like I said, 582 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: I mentioned that the elements are more challenging up there, 583 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: but when you're when it's like you get down to it, 584 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what does it take for us to survive? Well, 585 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: when it's harder, you're gonna need denser food, You're gonna 586 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: need more protein nutrient food. So if you're, like I said, 587 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: living in San Diego going to the beach every day, 588 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: you could probably give Biden salads. I mean, that's all 589 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: that you could. You could have nuts salads. You're not 590 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 1: you know not, You're not. It's all made for you. 591 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: It's all made for you by being a winter in Alaska. 592 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: If you're Alaska, you you better have some good steak, 593 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: you better have some salmon you're gonna catch out there. 594 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: And so that I think that kind of influences you know, 595 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: what are we subjecting ourselves to in life? You know 596 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: what I mean? And it's like, we're lucky where we 597 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: have choices where you can go to the store and 598 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 1: you can say, yeah, I don't need that, I want this, 599 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: I want that. That's great, that's great. I love that 600 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: that we have those. Offic Some people, like in Alaska, 601 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do whatever it takes and exactly 602 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: and they're they're gonna, hey, they're gonna kill the caribou 603 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: and it's gonna fill the freezer and that's just the 604 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: way it goes. It's gonna fill the freezer and probably 605 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: their neighbors freezer. Those are sure, those are village kills. 606 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: Those are like, we're happy that they're happy to have that, 607 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: because they will turn everything from that kill and what 608 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: they don't like into something usable, and what they don't 609 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: I think they just put it back on the trail 610 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: kind of in the area that they took the kill, 611 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: so that can continue on to its journey, um, you know, 612 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: to be brought back into another life if they will 613 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: believe in that aspect, you know. And so when I've 614 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: been to like we killed this buffalo in Tanzania and 615 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: it's like you follow you look at the birds there, 616 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: and then I would say, I half so clean. The 617 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: animal got the meat off, then there's there's uh, some bones, 618 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: there's some maybe something the guts and things like that. 619 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: That was gone in a half hour. So you talk 620 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: about it's like circle life gavengers. There was nothing left 621 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: in a half hour. So it's like in the wild, 622 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: there's no waste. There's no waste going on at all exactly. 623 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: And so that's kind of like a cool, you know, 624 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: connecting way to gather your food right, I'm all about that, 625 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: and so I think that's really cool. And you do 626 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: talk about that in your book. Even though you say 627 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: you don't talk about that in your book, you talk 628 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: about that a little bit. I made touched on again 629 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: big part of what I do. And I'm passionate about it. 630 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean, and I and I understand. I put my 631 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: life out there, so I'm gonna get people who don't understand. 632 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: I mean people should have, Like you haven't grown up 633 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: in Utah. Maybe they've been in cities their whole life. 634 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: They're not gonna understand. You know. As and a hunter, 635 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: sometimes we take photos, so we we achieved this longer goal. 636 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: We've been maybe dreaming about this hunt forever. It's big challenge. 637 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: We accomplished it. So you take a picture of the animal. 638 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: For non hunters or people who don't have a grundfrund, 639 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: and they're not gonna understand a picture with a hunter 640 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: smiling with the dead animal. They're like, what, this doesn't 641 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: make sense to hunters who have been doing this their 642 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,719 Speaker 1: whole life. Oh, it makes perfect sense. It's like that 643 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: was very hard to accomplish that. That's he's happy because 644 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: he can take me back to his family and his friends, 645 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: and so this it's like somewhat of a mountain type thing. 646 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: But to people who don't get it. So I understand, 647 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: and I get because I put my life out there. 648 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: I get people who attack me online for you know, 649 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean killing animals basically and threats and via language. 650 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: And I understand.

Right, Okay, so I mean, like, 721 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: what the hell, who are they hunting? And so You've 722 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: got all these three hundred thousand troops and then they 723 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: only had a four thousand cash saved, and once in 724 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: church was like, we only have four thousand military personnel 725 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: in the UK at all, because they had the whole 726 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: army over in France.

You know. It's those types of adversities. 797 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: Hunting my friends with their heartbeats while they're hunting me. 798 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: I don't win all the time. I get shot just 799 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: as much, you know. So it's like this, what can 800 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: I do better? How do I not get Why should Yeah? Cardio, Yeah, 801 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: it's Cardio. Isn't zombies, Cardio hunting other people? Cardio going 802 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: after that deer on that long hunt. So my dad 803 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: was always a big I don't want a fouler. He's 804 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: like no, he's like, that's not hunting. He's like, that's 805 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: not He's like So then he got out of rifle 806 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: hunting and he got into bow like I was telling 807 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 1: you just to revert that back, and he started taking 808 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: his compound out. But he had these tips. He had 809 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: these tips, and one time I touched it and I 810 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 1: was just bleeding bro it was so it was so sharp. 811 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,919 Speaker 1: They have these tri tips he kept in a special case, 812 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: but I had to see him that with an arrow, 813 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: that's a big difference between an arrow and a bullet, 814 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: where an arrow will kill by hemorrhage. So that's what 815 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: happens oftentimes. Is like if I'm hunting a big bull elk, 816 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: I'll make a perfect shot. The arrow will go through 817 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 1: the elk eight pound animal. They're used to get jabbed 818 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: and by antlers and fighting all this. Sometimes they don't 819 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: know what happened. They're bleeding, their blood pressure drops and 820 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: essentially they pass out, but then they die from blood loss, 821 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: whereas a and they never even really knew what happened. 822 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: Whereas a rifle it's a loud report. It's a bullet 823 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: will kill by shock and damage and so definitely know 824 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: they've been shot. That's where I think almost a perfect 825 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: shot with an arrow is almost a beautiful death because 826 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: the animal doesn't even know what happens, and there's no 827 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: no animals making it out alive. Right, everything's dying. Everything 828 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: it's either going to be starving or by predator or 829 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: by fighting animal. So like to me, taking an old 830 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: bull that's lived ten years in the mountains and it 831 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: served its purpose for the herd. And then uh, if 832 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: I offer a perfect shot like that and it's essentially 833 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: a painless death, that's as good as it gets where 834 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: that's the big difference with the rifle. With the rifle's 835 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: it kills from damage shock and you don't even ruin 836 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 1: the meat. You might even ruin the meat with the round. 837 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: You know, definitely a room with the bullet. But for sure, 838 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: especially your bad shot. We were talking about cardio earlier, 839 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: I mean, and all those challenges that you know, there's 840 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,439 Speaker 1: that saying or fatigue makes cowards of us. All yeah, 841 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you can be the biggest badass ever, but 842 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 1: when people get fatigued, it's just like take me. I'm done. 843 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. The one thing that I 844 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 1: told my wife. While we've been in London, we've probably 845 00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: done about see the other ester day we did about 846 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 1: thirty two kolongs, and then today we did about I 847 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: don't know, that's about twenty two miles. Yesterday we walked 848 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: all over right, we didn't realize what we were doing. 849 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: And then let me start getting I got a blister 850 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: on my pinky toe and I got that back in 851 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: New York too. We walked a lot at the end 852 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: of the day. It's not gonna kill me. That's what 853 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: my wife blister. I told her that. She looked at 854 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,919 Speaker 1: me and I was like, yeah, you're right. You don't 855 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,800 Speaker 1: know where I got that from, right, Yeah. Yeah. She 856 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: thought it was a great kid, saying you came up right, yeah, 857 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. But it's true. It's like, it's 858 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: true we focus on and that's what I've noticed a 859 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 1: lot of times on these hunts. It's like, yeah, it's 860 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,280 Speaker 1: not the blister, but it's like a lot of little 861 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: things stack up and then you're like, that's when you 862 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: want to throw in the towel. But yeah, focus on 863 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: what the one thing, like the blisters. Like, I'm pretty 864 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: sure people have overcome much greater things than this, right, 865 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's that's a lot of you guys are 866 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: taking a lot of steps and seeing some great country. 867 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure we are. And the thing is is that, 868 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: you know, I got the blisters yesterday and then again 869 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: we went out today and we just humped it again 870 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: and we were just like, you know, again, I just said, 871 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: no one's died of a blister. My wife's hardcore. She's like, 872 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 1: I'm built for walking, and I was like, oh, ship, 873 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: here we go. Yeah, yeah, she's doing good, she's doing good. 874 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: She felt a little bit on her knee at the 875 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: end of it, and I said, well, that's because we're 876 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: getting tired at the end of our trek and we 877 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,959 Speaker 1: start to walk with a weird gait and we're starting 878 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: to like slug ourselves back to our hotel. And then 879 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: that's the injuries. And so today was a little bit 880 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: of an uber day and so yeah, yeah, it worked out. Yeah, 881 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 1: we gotta see uh, Princess Diana's fountain and the Kensington Palace. 882 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 1: I kissed her in the King's Palace. So it was 883 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: very yeah, right, a lot about but it's really cool. 884 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: She was, she is and and it's it's awesome. No, 885 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 1: all of her kids are here right now too, and 886 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of vibe going on. You know, everybody's 887 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,760 Speaker 1: here and it's a big pageantry and the Queen's still alive. 888 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: So that's a cool thing, right, isn't she she's not 889 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 1: what she didn't get to go, she didn't go to 890 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 1: the festivities, but she's been watching and you know, they're 891 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 1: just cheering her for her seventy year of reigning and 892 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,479 Speaker 1: trying to keep the crown, you know, respected, and where 893 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: there's also the other side here, let's bring that up 894 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: real quick, where they're like, you know, hey, you guys 895 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: are taking our taxpayers money and you're giving it away 896 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: to people that we don't approve of to cover up 897 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,280 Speaker 1: these dealings. And so you know, there is that aspect. 898 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: But I think the aristocrat and most of the Brits 899 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: over here are proud to be British right now. And 900 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: I've so stoked to be over here. And it's very 901 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 1: almost America. Yeah, I mean just the history part of it. 902 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: It'd be just just to be part of it. I've 903 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: never been there before, so I'm jealous that you're able 904 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 1: to experience. Yeah, it's it's history, you know, it's it 905 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: is in the making, and you should come over. It's 906 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: not so bad as you would think. And uh, it's 907 00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 1: just a quick nine hour straight flight, so you know 908 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: you might get a little business class out of it 909 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: from someone, so you might want to put that in. 910 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a questions. So I put questions 911 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: out on my social media and and it's kind of 912 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: wide down our conversation here and one of my guys Anton, 913 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: he asked me. He said, okay, well, I'm stoked you 914 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: doing the show with you And he says, do you 915 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: use any supplements to help you move out and keep 916 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: keep going with endurance? You know? Is there anything that 917 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 1: you use? You know? Mostly I wild game meat for 918 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: the most part. And it's just like what I say 919 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: in the book is like your your body gets it 920 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: gets used to what you ask of it. So I've 921 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: been doing this for so long. My body is pretty good. 922 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: I mean, but I still I don't drink. I eat 923 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 1: wild game meat all the time. I watch my sugar 924 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: intake and do all that, and then I do supplement. 925 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: There's company and and uh utah they're Mountain Oops. They're 926 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 1: my son worked for them. They're a supplement company. So 927 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: I do supplement with protein okay, b C A S 928 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: to replenish after like a long run when I've went 929 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 1: through a lot of you know, sweated a lot and 930 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,800 Speaker 1: things like that, to try to replenish that. But for 931 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: the most part, it's just living clean, living clean, and 932 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: then thirty years of doing it, my body is kind 933 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: of like how like shoe leather tough that's my body 934 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, you just change yourself to endure that. 935 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: It's so true. That's it, that's it. It's just time, 936 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: time in the saddle essentially. But yeah, I try to. 937 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: I try to live a pretty clean life though. Let 938 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,399 Speaker 1: me see, okay, perfect, thank you. Anton James has a question. 939 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 1: Let me see what it says. Here it says, James says, 940 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 1: I see how much sleep does he get? That's the 941 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 1: question that's you, So yeah, tell it. Yeah, Yeah, I 942 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: don't get much because I do. I have a full 943 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:50,360 Speaker 1: time job to train for endurance events. Takes hours, you know, 944 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: so I mean, and then I have a family, like 945 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 1: right now, we're watching the Last Dance, watching Michael Jordan's story. Again, 946 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: my daughter hadn't seen that. So I do want to 947 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 1: spend time I'm with them. So if I have to 948 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 1: give up anything, it's where. It's not where it's impacting 949 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: my family as a little as possible, impacting my work. 950 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,439 Speaker 1: It's I'm going to give up sleep because that only 951 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: impact me. And so yeah, I don't I don't. You know, 952 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 1: you'll sleep when you're dead, right, yeah? Pretty, But again 953 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: my body is used to that too, I know, I understand. 954 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: Not everybody's in that position. Or my immune system is good, 955 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: so I don't. I never get sick. But I think 956 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: part of it is because my diet too, because of 957 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 1: that that clean meat that I eat from my kills. 958 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 1: So I'm I've been pretty lucky. But yeah, I sacrifice 959 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: sleep and to get everything else done. Yeah, I would 960 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: imagine you have to, because you do have a pretty 961 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 1: book solid slate if you're running even a marathon that's 962 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,399 Speaker 1: twenty three points something miles, and then if you're even 963 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 1: doing it, yeah point two. I don't run the marathons. 964 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:57,279 Speaker 1: I just guess it. Does it does? You gotta train 965 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 1: and uh, you know you're running a two a hundred 966 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: miles twenty four hour endurance run. They have that in 967 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: Utah across the top of the mountain Peak run the 968 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: whole mountain top of My high school teacher used to 969 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: do it every year. I remember, Yeah, the Rossats run. Yeah, yeah, 970 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 1: the whole top of the mountains. Yeah, they'd run all 971 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 1: the way across the whole mountains there. And I know 972 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 1: there's some tough people out there, dude, I mean, and 973 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 1: you know who's the toughest of in those endurance events? 974 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 1: And I talked about them. One of the best in 975 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,319 Speaker 1: the world in my book. But women are so good 976 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: at endurance events. I I really think that their bodies 977 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,359 Speaker 1: are made for child birthta they can deal with pain. 978 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: They're way tougher than men. I mean, it's oh yeah, 979 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 1: for sure, there's no doubt about it. Man probably faster 980 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,439 Speaker 1: and maybe stronger, just that's on average, but skeletal firs 981 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 1: endurance wise, and and just like mental toughness, women are incredible. Yeah, 982 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 1: I'll kind of give you a story about my dad 983 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,080 Speaker 1: speaking of women. When he was in the marathon, he 984 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: said that this one lady I remember, He's like, I 985 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 1: was behind her and all I could do is just 986 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: watch your ponytail. It was his like metronome of like 987 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And she was in front of him, and 988 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 1: he's a Green Beret, and she's in front of him, 989 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 1: and he's a Green Beret, and she's in front of him, 990 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And he's just like, she's 991 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: keeping pace. He blew himself up that that week because 992 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: he ran ten miles a day, thinking he needed to 993 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: amp it up for the marathon, but he just he 994 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: did too much in the week and then when the 995 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 1: marathon came. He ran it in four hours, and he 996 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,439 Speaker 1: was thinking that he could run it probably a lot less, 997 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: but he realized he could tell that was freaking beace. 998 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:36,840 Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect. I mean, yeah, he 999 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 1: just worries about his mindset. It's just yeah, there's more. 1000 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: He tried to treat me for the biathlon too, Brom. 1001 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: I've been all around cross country skin and hitting the dirt, 1002 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: trying to shoot a rifle at the target.
