Summary
The latest episode of The Simple Man Podcast features a detailed recap of the recent WNO event, with hosts including Nicky Rod breaking down the key grappling matchups. The discussion centers on the high-stakes submissions and dramatic finishes that unfolded during the competition.
One of the highlighted matches involved C money (Connor Stallman) securing a victory with an ankle lock. The hosts noted a critical moment where C money was caught in an inside Ashi (Achilles lock) and rolled out of bounds. Under WNO rules, this led to a reset to a neutral position. C money quickly capitalized on the restart, applying his own ankle lock that resulted in a significant pop, securing the win.
Another major talking point was James Ortiz's match, which concluded with a "super loud break." The hosts recounted the dramatic scene where Ortiz's corner encouraged him just before the audible injury. Ortiz executed a leg lock, described as a "woge" (likely a heel hook variation), initially without fully locked legs, causing a severe break. This victory also carried a backstory, as Ortiz reportedly had a controversial previous encounter with the same opponent, with an earlier decision potentially being overturned in his favor.

Speaker 3: With your hosts. Let's be going on.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Ryan.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm Nicky Rod.
Speaker 2: Damien Anderson.
Speaker 1: Actually, I'm Krellenstein. I said I'm going to stop doing this.
Speaker 3: Doing what?
Speaker 1: The in the intro. You guys keep doing it. I'm not saying my name anymore.
Speaker 3: I think it's good for the intro.
Speaker 2: Maybe not when it's just us four because usually everyone will know us if it's just us four, but when we have a guest on.
Speaker 3: We're 200 episodes in. These people know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when there's a guest that we're bringing in their audience, we should definitely introduce ourselves.
Speaker 3: All right, I'll think about it. See? Round up. Round up. Round up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Round up. Bad pesticide.
Speaker 2: It ruined what? Grain?
Speaker 1: Uh, is that glyphosate? Or is that Uh, that's that's a Everything's causing cancer and autism, huh?
Speaker 3: Everything, yeah. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Tough times we live in. W, you know, just went down. Oh, what a sick uh performance from the boys.
Speaker 3: Wow, wow, wewa.
Speaker 1: Indeed. I got we got to start off. I guess we actually we should start off with C Money because he was the first match on the.
Speaker 3: Yeah, chronological. Yeah. Yeah, Connor went out. Um
Speaker 2: Went against Connor Stallman, C Money.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Went against uh Nakoa. His opponent.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of tattoo for a 15-year-old.
Speaker 3: Andy Varella. Full sleeve.
Speaker 2: Like a mini Andy Varella. All of his uh starter Pokemon Andy Varella.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. They're all little Andy Varellas.
Speaker 2: Oh, they looked up to him, you know, it's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Dude, sick. 15 with a sleeve. Dude, if I saw a guy at 15 years old and I was 15 with a sleeve, I was like, this guy's going to jail soon.
Speaker 2: The thing is, I I used to think that too, but I think in like Polynesian culture or maybe that culture, it's a little bit different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: I wish my mom let me do that.
Speaker 3: I think Mexican? Is he Polynesian or Mexican?
Speaker 2: I think he's both.
Speaker 3: Oh, fuck, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Good PM combo.
Speaker 3: I almost got my sleeve at uh 15.
Speaker 1: Brother.
Speaker 3: You guys all have sleeves, huh?
Speaker 1: It's it's a
Speaker 3: Not him.
Speaker 1: No, whatever. Close enough. It is close.
Speaker 2: Close enough. You'll fill it all in?
Speaker 3: I have this. Holy shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Dude, you're looking small.
Speaker 1: Fuck. Well, anyway, C Money. It's probably the cardio. It's okay.
Speaker 3: C Money won belly down ankle lock, right?
Speaker 2: Wasn't even belly down, I think. I think on the side.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. But bro, he got caught in an Achilles in inside ashi and had to roll out of bounds. And in the rules meeting, they reset the submission or they reset to a neutral position after the submission if you guys roll out of bounds. So he's in it, he's getting cranked on, he continues to roll out of bounds, then they reset. And then uh the next 20 seconds, he gets his own ankle lock and actually pops him pretty bad.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: But happy he won, so.
Speaker 1: Fuck yeah.
Speaker 3: Dude, sick performance. Sick. Then uh James Ortiz, right?
Speaker 1: That was a bad break.
Speaker 3: Bro. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Was that that was like a TV show, the way the corner said like what did he say? He's like, don't worry, that's nothing and then
Speaker 3: Stick to your own submission. This is nothing. Crack.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: These kids are super loud break.
Speaker 1: It was a loud break and it was a get back. Like Ortiz had lost to that kid uh in some other event.
Speaker 3: I actually don't even know if he did lose. I think that he lost and then I think they overturned it in favor of James. It was something like that.
Speaker 1: Oh. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was at a you know the lore. Well, there is some like lore like that, yeah.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently I I think it was something like one of the refs had messed up or something and they raised the other kid's hand and then I think they went and they overturned it and raised James's hand.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: Um
Speaker 1: Seal the deal with this one though. Yeah. Well, anyways, So breaks him in a woge with no locked legs at first.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That was like holy shit.
Speaker 3: That was a crazy. If you freeze frame where his like foot is pointed relative to where his shin is going. I didn't I I froze and enhanced. Yeah, it's insane. That's a bad break.
Speaker 1: Like crazy.
Speaker 3: As a kid, like you can bounce back, but you can only eat so much of that before it affects your long-term.
Speaker 1: Bro, look at like the Miyaos. The Miyaos had horrible joints.
Speaker 3: Miyao. Miyao Chihuahua. Miyao. Yeah. No good. Uh, then, so that was his first, the first round of the youth uh bracket. Then uh who who went up next? Austin. Austin's a tough. I mean, the guy's good. He subbed, he subbed PJ Barch. PJ, man. You know, he got caught in like an Ude Gatame variation.
Speaker 2: Ude Gatame.
Speaker 3: Did he did he call you out?
Speaker 2: Uh, he did. He called me out.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, after he beat Austin, he called me out.
Speaker 3: Are you going to take it? I mean, I'm not opposed to it.
Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
Speaker 2: But uh
Speaker 3: He's not opposed. That's a Damien Anderson right there.
Speaker 1: That is, that's a quote.
Speaker 2: Not opposed.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I won't start competing again until the end of this year. I have all the big motherfuckers call me out. He called me out.
Speaker 1: He's big.
Speaker 3: Uh I'll see you away. No, he's 170.
Speaker 2: 190 maybe he walks around, I'd say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he probably I would say he walks around between 190 and 200. Okay, whatever. He called you out. He called you out, man.
Speaker 2: I think that's a great match in my opinion. Like once you're back in shape, you're back to to scrapping and you're ready to compete. It's WNO. That's what you wanted anyway. Um, you know, it's like a a match to get before getting against the fucking tough big scrappers again. So to me it seems like it makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he called me out and then uh who else? Oh uh Lucas, Lucas Lira called me out. Actually it was off of the clip that we had posted. It was like uh
Speaker 1: Who's Lucas Lira?
Speaker 3: Lucas Lira. He's on Declan's team for Polaris. He's fucking huge.
Speaker 1: Oh, Australian guy?
Speaker 3: No, he's not. No, he's Brazilian. He's
Speaker 1: Was that the the biggest guy on CJI team or no?
Speaker 3: No, no. I don't think he was in CJI. Yes, Cyborg's X.
Speaker 1: Oh, Cyborg's X. Yeah. Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how you know.
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy? I have no idea who that is, but Cyborg's X's man. Damn. Well, cool. When when did he call you out?
Speaker 3: Yeah. He well, he didn't. It wasn't like a after thing. He just had commented uh because we had posted a clip saying that like I was looking to start competing again. He's like, I'd be I'd love to be the one to welcome you back at 185. At 185. 185. I know I'm fucking fat right now, but I'm not 215 pounds anymore. Maybe I was, but It's also not I compete at 170. Will you will you do 170 again?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. 100%. Yeah, 170 is like it's I'm fat right now. I'm 190. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Cakewalk.
Speaker 2: Um
Speaker 1: Without the cake.
Speaker 2: I'm way too small for like 88.
Speaker 3: Jiu-jitsu soaks up there.
Speaker 2: If you look at uh I I agree. Look at look at Woj. The skill level is different because look at Woj. I think Woj is small for 88, but I think it's great for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think Woj has uh he has a bigger frame than I do. He's taller than me and I think he's he has a bigger frame.
Speaker 1: I was going to say. Fair enough. Yeah. I mean I do think you're a true 170er, but it's like 88's not a horrible weight class for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Your legs are 205, bro.
Speaker 2: 194.
Speaker 3: That fucking ass, dog.
Speaker 2: Right now I'm like 190.
Speaker 3: And go.
Speaker 1: Well, anyways, so so who's the next guy who competed after Austin?
Speaker 3: James. James again? Oh no. We didn't uh yeah, yeah, but he had his second match.
Speaker 1: Yeah, second match versus Oh wait.
Speaker 3: Technically it was after Matteo. Matteo. So Matteo competed next.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Matteo competed next.
Speaker 3: Dude, what a fucking performance, man. Submitted the East Coast trials champion. Yeah, champion. Rear naked choke and uh yeah, down to advantages. He wasn't he wasn't getting fucked up. He was just like
Speaker 1: As soon as jiu-jitsu started, he just dominated.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Soon as jiu-jitsu started. He pulled guard a few times.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. I think like in his mind he was like he was kind of losing the hand fight battle, so I think he was just trying to get stuff going.
Speaker 1: Just need a connection. Mental connection. Spiritual, emotional.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Relational. How how did that he he shot for a single leg.
Speaker 2: Shot for a single.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it wasn't even like it was like a he had the single leg and was kind of stretched out a little bit and then was able to get the kosoto. once he got the second ankle. Once he got the kosoto, then like once the connection was made, then it was it was game on. You know, he had that second leg, put him down to a hip. And then um I think uh well Jacob stayed on the front head for a little bit too long as well, I think, right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: And then um tried to tried to turn away and it was just like got got to his back.
Speaker 1: Matteo on top of you is a fucking problem for anyone, man.
Speaker 3: Bro, especially because Jacob was hand fighting so aggressively in the beginning. Like
Speaker 1: He just wanted to score early and then coast. I think that's
Speaker 3: Yes. Dude, you get you get a uh you'd be tired and Nick Matteo, you'd be tired, Nick Matteo on you, that is not good. Dude, subbed him with how many seconds left? Like 20 seconds left or something?
Speaker 2: 11 seconds left.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I'm so happy for him. He seems like he doesn't give a shit.
Speaker 3: No, dude. He cares. He earned it.
Speaker 1: He's stoked in the moment, but yeah, yeah. Oh, he works so hard, bro. It's crazy.
Speaker 3: Well, you can't you can't just live in that moment. You got to appreciate it and then go on to the next.
Speaker 1: Nah. Live and die in that moment. Sail into the sunset. No, sir. Fucking amazing. Uh, what do you guys think? I mean,
Speaker 3: Well then what?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. No, I'm thinking like his uh he is facing another trials champion.
Speaker 3: He should get well, he'll beat that guy as well. He should get an invite most likely.
Speaker 1: I was I was going to say, what do you guys think?
Speaker 3: Who's the other trials champ? I don't know. European dude?
Speaker 1: Taziki.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. It's a great it's a great Tajik. Tajik. Tahin on the rim, you know that spice?
Speaker 2: Oh, but the Tahiki, Taziki?
Speaker 3: Taziki.
Speaker 1: That's that's fire, bro. Tiramisu too. Tiramisu. Yeah, Tahiti, I went there. honeymoon.
Speaker 3: Tahitian vanilla. You guys ever had like real? Anyway, Tajik. Going to beat him and then what do you guys think? Invite?
Speaker 2: He should in my opinion.
Speaker 3: I think he deserves it, yeah.
Speaker 1: 77's a pretty
Speaker 3: I don't know if he'll get it though.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's tough.
Speaker 3: I mean he did medal at the the other trial, you know, it's not like
Speaker 2: Well if he if someone does get hurt, he should be like one of the top.
Speaker 1: He can't do trials because he's having his wife's having a baby, so.
Speaker 2: A C4 and big plates.
Speaker 1: C4 and heavy weights.
Speaker 2: And explosive traits.
Speaker 1: And some impressive rates.
Speaker 2: Strong like primates.
Speaker 1: You'll say, ah, great when your deadlift dominates.
Speaker 2: Was that good?
Speaker 1: No. It was incredible.
Speaker 2: Really bad.
Speaker 1: No. But this, this is good. One thing that changed my recovery that no one talks about, gut health. If your gut is not right, you're not recovering right. You're inflamed, you're not absorbing nutrients, and you're constantly playing catchup. Especially if you train hard. This matters way more than people think. Meric health helps you actually see what's going on internally and fixes it with a plan. That's the difference. So head to merichealth.com and use code simpleman for 10% off.

Speaker 3: Against the Sainz brother.
Speaker 1: Chigi? Is that his real name?
Speaker 3: Chigi? I don't know. I just
Speaker 2: I think Carlos.
Speaker 1: Oh, his name is Carlos. Okay. That's a much more normal name. But uh
Speaker 3: Those boys that it's like a rivalry in this teen community.
Speaker 1: Fucking sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's cool. It's cool to see. You know, they're like chirping at each other or whatever.
Speaker 1: He's like screamed at him over the ref. The ref's like, he's like, sorry, sorry. Yeah, yeah. That's a boys boys will be boys. Good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man. They're 15-year-old kids that that and it's like there's only so many, you know, higher level kids so they're always meeting each other every every event. They're always competing against each other.
Speaker 1: Nothing make you nothing makes you get better like a rival.
Speaker 3: Competition, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that one actually just uh tied it up now, I think. I think they're like
Speaker 3: No, I think they're three and three.
Speaker 1: Oh shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're always competing against each other.
Speaker 1: Damn. Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I could be wrong about that, but I think that's that's what I had heard was that it was three and three.
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think that Ortiz probably end up a little bit bigger than than Chigi.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: How old is Chigi? Are they the same age or is he like 17? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Ortiz is 16, right?
Speaker 1: Ortiz is 16.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Can you look up the age of uh Carlos Saints? Ortiz is getting stronger too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. He's hitting like a little.

Speaker 1: He's a big boy. Yeah. Who uh is that it for our guys?
Speaker 3: Yeah, for That's it. What a great performance.
Speaker 1: And then uh yeah, guys killed it. Then the uh the 155 bracket, that was fucking yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, DeAndre was no subs, but
Speaker 1: DeAndre wrestled or pulled?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he tried. Yeah. Got taken down then passed. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he think he got taken down passed and his back taken like a few times.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It seems like it was kind of like I think he got one takedown in the beginning. Nothing really happened. It was just kind of strong hand fighting and then maybe halfway through um DeAndre started to fade a little bit and DeAndre really started picking it up and then you know took him down pass took his back. Oh Dorian did. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That pace is crazy. You know how old Dorian is? Like 19?
Speaker 3: 18? 19?

Speaker 3: Yeah, fuck that boy up. Yeah, be a problem in MMA for sure.
Speaker 2: All right, well I guess that wraps up WNO, huh?
Speaker 1: Yeah. We had the UFC. You guys see the the Grasso KO? That was insane. That was a TKO. That was a KO and a sub in the same fight.
Speaker 3: KO and a Choko.
Speaker 1: That was for crazy to look at.

Speaker 1: The the scariest thing was her eyes being open. That's what makes it
Speaker 3: Look like she just died. Like The delayed?
Speaker 2: I didn't see the actual clip of it happening, but I saw the clip of it after of what she looked like, yeah.
Speaker 3: Ally, after after I can actually now, can you find the clip of Grasso's uh knockout? Bro, that was crazy. It was like a hard cross, she gets knocked out and then put right into a a rear naked choke.
Speaker 1: It was like she finished the end of the punch in the rear naked choke. It was crazy, dude.
Speaker 3: Crazy. Fuck, man. At least that's how my imagination. And then what happened? What's crazy, the ref the ref stops it. And then she starts getting on a single leg and then the ref's like like stop whatever like match is over and then she like looks up and then she goes like this. It was like a delay KO and she was down there for like 60 seconds, two minutes.

Uh, we load up, get some meatball subs and some gas. Some Italian subs and some gas. Uh I got some meatball spaghetti. What I want to say about what I want to say about what I want to say about. Um, you guys surprised me uh how how well you handled the the trails. I thought I was going to have to be like speed up and then wait for five minutes for you guys to catch up. You guys did pretty good. Pretty good.
Speaker 1: I didn't lose him. I could have done better. We lost. We did lose you. We did lose you.
Speaker 1: I lost myself there and then I found myself.
Speaker 3: Dude, I tell you what, when you got lost, I was two minutes before, I was staring right at you. I was like, all right, Damian's entering the trail. I see Ethan 10 foot behind him. There's no way he he's not going to see him. So I go in, ride for 5, 10 minutes and then see Damian and you're gone.
Speaker 1: You underestimate my power.
Speaker 3: You had to be just been looking straight down and not not looking at you.
Speaker 1: I was so I said this on the thing. I was trying to follow your guys's dust trail because I couldn't keep up because you're just ripping over these rocks that are like you got to be careful with the dust. How the but like how are when I'm driving this thing, I'm like, how are they going over this terrain that quickly? I the wheel was like That's why. That's why. If I was on yours, I'd be fucking. Well, you'll you'll see when you take this out there the We'll go back. We'll go back. Uh so I'm like trying to, you know, I'm just you guys are take a turn. I'm like, I know you went, I'm following, following. And then at some point, I just lose the dust trail. I'm like, all right, I don't know if they went this way or that way. I don't know if the trail connects back. I don't know. So I must have got turned around on the trail.
Speaker 3: No. No. You just we went right down the trail and you went left. There that's the only way.
Speaker 1: Oh, before you're saying I didn't even get on the trail.
Speaker 3: There's no way. Cuz you could only go straight. That's why I wasn't really looking behind on the trail.
Speaker 1: Well, hold on. Hold on. Then you guys parked the quads at the end of that trail, right?
Speaker 3: Not at the end. No. In the middle and walked five miles back to find you.
Speaker 1: Then I just went on the main road and just having fun while we're walking. I was on a trail though. Whatever. I we you lost me there.
Speaker 3: Did you talk about when we were all drifting on the road?
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. It was great. We'll talk about it again. But yeah, Damian just decides to start drifting around a tree and then you go right after and I'm like, oh, okay, I get it. We're doing it. And then we started fucking
Speaker 3: It's like Tokyo drift when they at the stop light, there's just a hot chick in the car and the dude start drifting around. We could have fucked the shit out of that tree. That tree really wanted us. She wanted leaves were shedding. It was so wet with sap. Yes. Sap. Dude, it was fucking awesome. Yeah. Seven hours. It was great. It was great exercise. Great exercise. Um like there's not many things in life that are more fun than that. It's rare. Probably like laser vision would be like really fun. In real life, you fuck. Is that fun? Imagine how much fun you have with laser vision. I don't think so. You can't control it. There doesn't get adrenaline going. Did you guys wear you're not you're not wearing whoops ever? I'm going to I'm going to wear it. Yeah, you've been saying it. You're done, huh? My whoop said I burned I burned my wox. My wox. Oh, I forgot mine at home. Fuck. I You do have a very expensive watch. I do. A Patek. Yeah, it's Patek. Go on. Tell me. That's all. All right. My whoop said I burned like 10,000 calories over that seven hours.
Speaker 3: I think you did, dude. I think you did. I'm like I'm open to believing that, but I also don't think cuz like I think the shaking definitely fucks it up a little. You don't think he burned 10,000 calories?
Speaker 1: No, it didn't.
Speaker 3: Yes, it did. Cuz this number keeps inflating every time you tell the story. What did it say?
Speaker 1: Maybe closer to 8,000. That's still insane.
Speaker 3: That yeah, yeah. That's a that's a thousand calories an hour for seven hours. That's that's too much. minus no, minus his basal metabolic rate, which is already fucking high.
Speaker 1: Also minus my nasal.
Speaker 3: You ever try parsley? Parsley? No, there's no way. Dude. You ever try parsley? hours. What hold on a second. I think he burned like 5,000. And then he has But what's parsley have to do? His basil. Oh high level. High level. That was good. Damn. How about your parsley metabolic? Damn, that was funny. Dude, cuz uh what day did we go? He already burns like three or 4,000 calories just being him. And then along with that, seven hours of zone two cardio. So it calculated it as a 14 level strain jiu-jitsu. This one, 800 calories. Ready? Oh, fuck. For sure the the vibration affects it. 28th. It's the most accurate technology ever created. You just need an excuse to go ride it. It's a great. There's no way you're burning 10,000 calories. I I don't think I don't think 10,000, yeah. It's probably five. 5,000 and then he burns already three or 4,000 a day anyway. At least four. So then you add that together, it's eight or 9,000 calories. Oh, sorry, 5,000, 5,000. 5,000 exactly. It's way less than 10. Come on, dude. I doubled it. This guy keeps fucking inflating it. It's 12,000. 5,000 in seven hours. Come on, we're definitely we're in a semi squat the entire time. flew by. I can't believe we rode for. Honestly, I can't believe that either. It was so fun. The hour where I disappeared was really honestly, it was cool. Honestly, that was cool for you. How about for us? walking. Oh yeah, yeah. Like actually most of it. That entire thing, we walked there, walked back, ended the trail and then went to find him. Said I was in the zone five for five minutes straight on one of. Yeah, cuz you're freaking out. Where are my friends? I mean, this is dude, this is It doesn't look that unrealistic actually. This looks fucking real. It's a great workout. back. Anyway, yeah, I really want to go back. Can we do next weekend? Absolutely, I could do next weekend. I'm supposed to go to Houston. For what? For the fight. One of my buddies is fighting. What day? Sunday. He fights on Sunday? Saturday. We'll see cuz uh drive down Saturday night. I think we're going drive down there Saturday night. Take the quad down there Saturday night. Or Sunday morning. Is there a place that we can quad in Houston? For yeah, there is a great place actually. A great place. What's it called? Hidden falls. No, it's it's some massive off-road park. I'll send you the address. There's some massive off-road park in Houston. Okay, fucking we can always send it. We could. We could. All right, anyways. Wait, wait, wait. Can you look up uh Houston off-road park? Bro, the moment where we meet. Oh yeah. That's we spoke about it, but like bro. Peak bro power. Dude, I'm like from my perspective, we're on this main road and it's like it's either go back to the truck or like take the scenic route. I'm like, whatever. I'll just make this left to scenic route. And I'm driving up this hill. I see these two muddy lights. I'm like, oh, those are those lights look familiar. Oh, that's a yellow quad. Oh, it's a pink helmet. That's Ethan. Dude, it was crazy. And it's over 3,000 uh acres and we found each other. and we found each other. What you call it? I was screaming. I was like, let's fucking go. We're like pigeons. That's bro science right there. Why did you decide to to not go straight and just turn left right at the last second too. You already never go straight. Cuz I was just I just want to have fun. I was like, this is more fun. Fun make fun is for friends that do things together. F is for you and me. U is for you. And is for anywhere and anytime at all. And is for a lot of things. Something else. Bro, we were ripping it too on the straightaway. Yeah. On AB, not not the one where we actually raced. We raced a little bit, yeah. On the actual race, I I don't know how to control it just yet with the bumps and shit. But on the body position. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then but uh on the AB one, we were going pretty fast. Yeah. On the actual like paved road. I can only really go fast on the paved road right now. I'm so I'm so down. Bro, we're putting gas in the this is from another part, but it just popped up. We're putting gas in the tank to before we went to the construction site. And uh Damian's like, you got to put the the primo or something. And I'm like, really? She only takes the best. Oh, no. So we're I was so good. So this is this is what we're going to Bastrop. We're we're uh in the truck. Yeah, cuz we were getting gas for Bastrop, I thought. No, I think it was construction site. I didn't have the trailer on. Oh okay, okay. So yeah, we're in this FJ, going to fill up the tank uh because we're going to go to the construction site. Construction site to uh ride. Construction. And then uh I was like, oh, you want me to go out? He's like, no, no, fuck, I got it. And then he gets the uh the tank and he's like, regular? And I'm like, no, do uh 93. And then he's like, really? She only takes the best. You said she only takes the best or you? No, I said I'm like, really? She only takes the best. Fuck. And then we had a great time construction site, dude. Okay, so that's that's story number two. So you got out everything about Hidden Falls? Is there anything else you want to, you know? There was the note, there was the fucking We talked about it. A great place to have fun. It was awesome. And showers is a can. You guys are fucking going. And honestly, you guys rent the side by side. That's what I was going to say. The side by side is totally fun. Easy. Super fun. You just go there, rent it. There's showers there if you guys get muddy and it's a fucking blast. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. And we're not taking no for an answer. All right? Okay, boom. All right. To the construction site. So randomly, why do we decide to go to the construction site? What happened? Right after this pod. We're addicted. Yes. Oh, it was cuz the pod. It was right after the podcast with Sal. Well Sal had to leave early, but it was me, Nikki, you and Sal. Could be muddy today. It would be muddy. Oh, it would be very muddy today. Holy shit. So on last last week's episode. Yep. On the podcast, I talked about how Ethan might get caught stalling out on the podcast. So you were concerned about going to the construction site with me because Ethan's still learning as I as am I. But I'm learning fast, very very fast. He has a problem with the gas where he's not giving it gas. I'm still a little shy. I'm like, yeah. a little gunshot. You got toker, brother. Yeah, she wants to be fast. So she wants to be ridden. wants to be ridden. And I even spoke to to the wife before one time cuz I me and Sal were out there. We're like, you know, if there's cops come like just just run. You know, we're in the we're in dirt. They can't follow us. You have to consider too, I'm Canadian. I don't know. it's just a dirt road. I'll show you. We'll show you. No, there's there's uh there's mounds of dirt and miles of fucking grid system. It's a grid system. amazing, dude. I like how you're you have a disability to like transcribe everything with your hands. This is this is it is that. It really is that. Honestly, that's that does a justice. That's it. Is it bigger than Bastrop? Yeah. Oh, what? Yeah, dude. It's a fucking mega neighborhood. No, no. Trust me. Let's look at it from space from Google Maps. Okay, so hold on. So we're fucking grid system. They're talking about this. They're like, oh Ethan's but then they're like, if the cops come, run. I I answer, I'm like, look, if I run from cops, I that is a huge problem. I'm going to get deported. Bro, yeah, I will get deported. Like that's a fucking major. Don't get caught. Okay, but you know, if they fucking cut us off and they're like, get on the fucking ground. Okay, okay. They're not I you never know. We're quadding in a construction site. They're not going to fucking Yeah, maybe that. So, you know, you're You're about they're not going to really care. You're right. You're right. Anyway, on the off chance, impossible chance. But that maybe It's like ding dong ditching. It's a it's a little You are black. He's he got you there. Ding dong ditching and the cops come, you're not going to run? No, I'll fucking look, if I'm in Canada, yeah, I'm booking it, sure. Okay, I get my ticket, I get whatever, but here, bro, I evade I evade capture. It's a problem, bro. And they could catch on like a like a street cam or something like that. Yeah, and like, look, if I get caught, I get my ticket. Everybody got ring cams. They're going to do we didn't kill anyone. It's not like a massive investigation where they're going to go through every neighborhood. They're going to come after us with helicopters. Bro, we So anyway, my fucking reasoning for not wanting to run is I'm it's a riskier thing for me to get caught. But in the moment, it that's undeniable. But in the moment, something like a a thing happened. Do you want to keep telling the story? Like it wasn't the police that came after us. Okay, yeah. So we decide to go. I I was under the I guess in Ethan's mind he wasn't going to run. So it would have just been me. From the cops I. From the cops. Whatever. Well because my thought is like if the cop if we see the cops approaching, we just drive in this direction and they cannot follow us. Like if the cops are up at us, cut us off and you know, like get on the ground, all right, whatever. But we're going to it's miles of dirt. You're going to see them. Then you use your jiu-jitsu. You're going to see them from a mile away. We didn't see we didn't see. I saw. So then this is what happened. So now we're in this construction site having a great time. It was so fun. exploring new lands. like every time we cut a corner, there's like new map unlocked. And we're like, wow. Yes. It's like the map is dark and you go and it lights up and then you, oh, like there's like a thing here and like another thing and we're like side by side and we go. Yeah, we're fucking ripping it, dude. It's so fun. It's like a video game, bro. I can see my truck so I understand. It's a blast, man. Should we off-road in the truck? That is too much. We will get arrested with that. With the truck? Yes, yes. And then we run. That's different because How does that make any sense? Wait, what doesn't make sense? We're not taking the truck on the construction. The truck is faster than the ATVs. Yes, yes. But it's not as maneuverable. Yeah, but we can go through a trail like a car can't go. Is there is there trees? We could go off like into a neighborhood. Cuz the way the reason it works is like our neighborhood's here, the neighborhood's here. This is where the construction is. To get back to us, to get away is we take a sidewalk that cuts through the woods. Imagine though, imagine the cop car just books it onto the sidewalk and follows us. Then what? We're in New Jersey, the the state troopers had ATVs in the woods. That's pretty cool. That would be terrifying. Bro, they can't catch up. Come on. Imagine you're on a dirt bike. I'll I'll wait that day. Yeah. So, anyways, we're we're ripping it, right? And uh as we're in this, think about a city block, right? A normal city, a city block that has no buildings, but it's just a big ass dome or bowl. Yeah. Cuz they dug in for like the sewers and shit like that. foundations and all that shit. Exactly, yeah. So we're in this bowl just doing donuts and there's like big fucking off the bowl. fucking yes, fucking we're we're definitely fucking up their construction work. They're driving everywhere. It's not a big deal. fucking quad, okay? It's fine. And now we're having fun in this thing and I look over my shoulder one time. Damian's facing this way. I'm facing this way. So I see no, no, it's more this way. I'm driving this way and he's facing that way. Okay, it doesn't matter. Now, I see what to me seems like the biggest earth moving machine, a fucking decepticon from hell. It was not only enormous, but it was on a mound of dirt, so it was like a moving house of metal. like literal Cybertron fucking barreling after us. I'm not lying cuz I actually have no idea how big it was cuz I I I 7 inches at least. Bro, the thing to me seemed like the size of a fucking house coming right at us at like 40 miles an hour. Now there's a grid system so everyone takes the roads, right? This thing had no care in the world. was driving right over everything directly at us. B line. Fucking right at us. I'm like, oh fuck. So I rip it into first. I do like a fucking quick donut and I I'm out. motocross shit. I'm thinking he's going to follow me because we've been following each other this entire time, right? Yeah. So I rip it and then So then I see I see Damian take off and in my head I'm like, oh, he's going that way for some more fun. All right, I'll follow him. Then I fucking I like start going and I look to my left and I'm like, in my head, I'm like, this giant metal thing is moving fast. What is that? And I look, I'm like, oh fuck. This massive machine that he's talking about is going way too fast to be that big and is cutting me off. Like the blade was going to fucking hit me if I kept going. So it cuts me off and I immediately So real quick, real quick. So there's open space here that cuts him off and then there's a big like 15, 20 foot mound of dirt to the right of him. So I have like a little fucking space to to go. Fucking thing cuts me off and then I'm like right away I'm like, oh, Damian's escaping. That's what's that's what's going on here. Okay. All right, I'm running. Okay, yeah, I'm not staying around. So I'm fucking I try to like gun it in first, stall immediately. Instant stall. This guy's definitely laughing at you. Yes, for sure. So then the driver hops out and he's like leaning off the door. He's like, where are you going, bro? Come here. Where are you going? Bro, for me it looked like the fucking Mexican devil, bro. like the fucking Chupa Cobra hanging off Megatron like trying to kill me. His voice was definitely like like, yo, you should go fuck with this guy. Probably, man. They're construction workers. I don't think they give a shit. Right before on the podcast, we're like, it's 5:00 p.m. they're not working. They don't care. blah blah blah. So, I'm like, oh fuck. and he's talking to me. so I'm laying my head I'm like, I have to answer. I'm like, so I scream through my head I'm like, I'm leaving. Fucking gun it again, stall. Then from Damian's perspective. I just see this cuz I I like I rip it away, you know, maybe like 30, 40 yards and I'm up on this uh on the ledge now. like I got out of the bowl and I just He's about to exit. I'm about to exit. I just turn around to look at Ethan and I see the fucking thing pinning Ethan and Ethan just like I'm like trying to make it over this like mound of dirt stalling answering. I'm like, I'm leaving. Like fucking and I finally How many times did you actually stall? Did I stall twice? I stalled twice. Then finally I gun it, get away and uh and the getaway was very fun. The getaway was like, I know the task right now. It's get the fuck out of here. five stars on Grand Theft. It were like running. So we we I'm laughing hysterically now. Like when I see Ethan stall out, I'm dying. I'm like, oh my god. This is what the walkie-talkies would have been perfect for communication. Imagine how funny that would be like, bro, what are you doing? I'm trying, bro. He's talking to me. I'm fucking running. I I have tears in my eyes. This shit is hilarious. just can't get going. It's like, imagine you're stuck there trying to leave for what feels like an eternity. Exactly. Like it felt like it's Grasso knocked out, you know? It's like it felt like that like, oh my god, he cannot get away. And I see the guy hanging out or hanging off the fucking machine. Where are you going? Come here. I'm leaving. So then we fucking go and now I I don't remember how to get back to our actual place. So we go down one road and then it's like a fucking dead end basically. It leads to a main road because we want to go back through the sidewalk. My thought was like in case they In case they want to follow us, they can't follow us through this one sidewalk, all right? So I don't want to go through a main road in case they're fucking chasing us or whatever. So we turn back around, we're ripping it and then finally I find the sidewalk that we want to go on, but it's like it's sidewalk and then it cuts off and there's a bunch of dirt. And it's like, imagine the ledges from uh hidden falls. You know, you have to put it in first, you you might have to wheelie or gun it a little bit up a little bit. So it's a little climb. I stalled. I stalled again. I stalled again. So I'm like, I can't wait for Ethan to hit this thing. Yeah, you stopped and watching. I saw you I'm like, oh, he thinks I'm going to stall. What you going to do? Fuck. You piece of shit. Dude, cuz like I have to kind of climb it, you know. And so when I get further, I'm like, I got to watch this shit. And in my head I'm like, this is part of the getaway. Let's go smooth. Get up. Oh, great, he saw. I'm get out of here. And there was some technical stuff in in hidden falls. You guys did pretty well. especially for your first time. Dude, and then so then we get we're I'm fucking cracking up. Then we get back to the house. I have my uh garage opener. So I open the garage like before we even cut the corner and then when we pull in, I like close it behind us. So smooth, so smooth. Yeah. Five stars, boom, we're safe. Oh my god. And then helicopter flew overhead right as we made it. And then we take off our helmets. We like we're like, bro. You fucking did it. And just crack. There's nobody was chasing you. No one was chasing. Yeah, the Mexican was just probably cracked open a beer right after. He was like watching us go. He's like, there they go. I'm sure. It was fucking awesome. Fucking hilarious. I wish we had that on film. That on a GoPro would have been gold. Oh my god, it would have been so funny, man. Gold, man. The machine was That was terrifying. fucking Dude, it was insane. That it shouldn't have been moving that fast to be that size, bro. B line over like, you know, we have to work our way up these mountains. We have to find an exit to get up. We can't just like How do we what's our line to get up this? This thing is just like like it fucking built the thing, you know? That's how on this time? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To hide our identities, you know. Nice, nice. Yeah, yeah. Helmets only. And uh I was fucking exhilarating. And then we decided to go a few days after, we went to uh Bastrop. Yeah, like two days later. We within yeah, on a Saturday, within like we we had the idea to go. Well, Liam says like, guys, let's go. After training, after training. begging to go now. Liam's like, come on, let's go. We can make it to uh hidden falls. We can make it. We're like, I don't know. Okay, fuck it, let's go. So Liam's driving. We're all like going to get our thing. I'm going to get the U-Haul trailer. Damian's going to home to meet me for the quad and Liam's like going to get another quad at uh his girl's. Then Liam calls, he's like, guys, we're not going to make it. And I'm I already have the fucking trailer on my car. I'm like, all right, what are we going to do? you know? So yeah, we just like uh pivot and Bastrop. And then we fucking get there. Oh. By the way, a 6x12 trailer. Next time. Perfect. That's the perfect size. Could you fit three on there? No. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you can. You can. It'll be it'll be like we have to do we do side by side. Yeah. It's a bitch. Dude, guys, that's come on, no. Let's just get an 18 one then. 6x18 if they have. I think Cuz 6x12 is perfect for two. Why, we need a third one? For who? Three of us. I have I have a Oh no, yeah, on your truck. Yeah. truck. Like 6x12 is all you need. We just ride right up in there. bigger and it hurts. Exactly. Exactly. Um all right, Bastrop. So. So, Ethan's at my house and I'm like Yeah. He he had already spoken to What time is this? This is now 4:00 because we couldn't make it by 5:00. Oh, you guys didn't mess text me late. You're like, where is this place? Yes. 3:00, it must have been like 3:30ish, 3:45 because we weren't going to make 5 at Hidden Falls, which was like an hour 20 away. Which would it would have been awesome to do because Hidden Falls closes at 11:30. You have to get off the trails at 11:30. Doors close at midnight, but the office closes at 5:00. And they're they were strict on the phone apparently. They were like, we will not let you in. Well, no one's going to be there for us to to let us in and shit like that at 5:00. So no one's going to be there to not let you in. open the gate either. There's there's a gate. Oh, I don't even remember. A gate? What kind of gate? Stop them. Get stop them at the gate. They're going to stop us at the gate. I don't think so. All right, so Bastrop. So then Ethan's at the house with, you know, a trailer and I'm like, dude, I don't think like we're not we're not making this. He's like, yeah, Liam already bailed. I'm like, Liam bailed already. No one told me this. I already got gas, whatever. have a a bag packed and shit. And um cuz you know there's there's showers there and change of clothes. And then he's like, fuck it, are we going to go? And I'm like, what us two? And then I was like, fuck, okay, let's go. We're going to Bastrop. So then I call you. I was like, where are we going in Bastrop? You send the the pin. We go there. It's fucking beautiful. It's pristine. Oh. So we start so we're as we're driving, you know, we're on the highway and we finally find this place. Damian's like, okay, okay, that's the trail. get in there. And then as I get in, it's like it's still like dirt road. I'm like, okay, this is going to be fun. And then I pull in and I see all the looping and I'm like, oh my god. Like you you set your it was glowing, bro. It was like Oh, it was like the angels were saying. I'm like, my heart was going. I'm like, let's go. Fucking park this car. Let's go. Then we fucking unload the quads, which took like 10 seconds on this. Oh bro, come on man. It's so easy. And then we fucking get it going. I start mine up. Damian, nothing. I start nothing. Oh wait, wait. Before that. Before So we had a scare. We we were there and I asked you here. I'm like, on three separate occasions, I'm like, you got the key? You got my key, right? You got my key? Got it. Don't worry. It's in the truck. We're off. So then, you know, we we get there and we want to change into our quad riding attire. Yes. So Tuxedos. So But naked. Just the helmet and boots I'm ass. So we're ripping in the dick flop. Did you see the video I sent you guys? No. With the fucking paraplegic guy trying to stand up? Oh yeah. I'll look right now. Well, you didn't see it? No. Oh, that's so funny. So anyways, So we fucking get our shit on. play with volume. Okay. This is volume. This is funny. Wait, I got to catch up. The gambler one funny. I check my my fanny pack and I don't see the keys. and I'm like, oh no, I check my bag and I don't see the keys. And then you start saying this, I'm like, very funny. Where the fuck did I put the keys? I'm trying to think where like where did I put them? And then he's like, dude, you're fucking with me. I'm like, bro, I'm not. I'm like unloading. I'm like, okay, good one. All right. And he was like, I'm not joking. I'm checking my bag. I'm like, dude, my pockets, where the fuck did I put the keys? I'm checking where I was sitting. And then he's like, no, no. I'm like, bro, dude, I fucked up, man. I fucked up. Wouldn't have even been that bad. We just drive there and back. Exactly. We still lost. We had so much fun though. Like are we going to have we were ready for for so much fun. Yeah, we were fucking amped up. So then I'm like, fuck, dude. I'm looking and then he's he accepts that I might have lost the keys or forgotten them at the house. And then I find them in my fanny pack. I'm like, let's fucking go. So we're back up here. It was a roller coaster of emotions, dude. I throw him I throw him his keys. He fucking catch him. They fucking lightning flies from my hand. I'm like fucking ready to go, bro. And he's like, yeah. Oh. Dude. Okay, bump start. Bro, it wouldn't start. Oh yeah. So it doesn't start. He tries everything. He tries Come on, baby, come on. He tries that. He tries the pirate accent, nothing. doesn't work. The gas was on, had gas. Gas was on. He put his finger in the tail pipe, nothing. Spit on the air intake. Fucking tried it all. Couldn't get it to warm up. So he's like, all right, bump start. So we start pushing this thing all over the fucking place. I'm like working up a sweat, bro. fucking trying to get try again. Nothing. when you bought your quad? You're sitting. I didn't get off. Did we did we tell them? I found this I found this guy. We talked about on the podcast. Yeah, just you're sitting on this guy's. He don't let me get off. I'm like Then then it comes time to push forward. He's like, bro, get off. I'm like, oh yeah, yeah. It was funny. It was just pushing me around in neutral when we bought the quad. I'm like, we. Dude, so like he's pushing behind. I'm holding the handlebars and I'm running like with him. I jump on. I try to get it to bump start. It doesn't work. It turns over a little bit, but I can't fucking get it to go. I'm like, what the hell? So we try so many times. We're all right. So we have straps. We get the ratchet straps, put it behind his fucking quad, put it on my quad. I'm pulling him around. Bro, that part was starting to get fun, honestly. I was just towing him around in first, just going. I'm like, is it working? I I couldn't hear what you were saying. I don't even know if it was working. I'm like, fucking slamming it on the back to try to make sure like there's good grip on the rear tires so you get it to fucking go. And I'm trying to give it gas and I hear my motor starting. Like it's like it's running. He's fucking pulling me and it's running, but when I when I push the gas, nothing's happening. I'm like, what the hell's going on? We do that for another fucking 30 minutes basically. like It was fun. Just him Yeah, it was awesome. I'm just towing him around like, all right, we can do this for a couple hours, you know, we're so whatever. I'm like, eventually I'm like, bro, you you go have fun. It's done for me. I'm like, no, really? Okay, fine. So he goes to ride and I'm I did go right. I I I protested. I tried I tried tinkering with it. I tried like You tried to we tried to tighten the clutch. This is it. I'm like the clutch. Maybe we did. We did. I'm like, let's unscrew this. This looks simple enough. I'm like, why am I why am I Okay, we'll do it. We'll do it. I want to try. I'm a car guy. I can do this. You know? Bro, before before we leave, before we leave, he's like, uh, should we take the the toolbox? I said it as a joke. I'm like, imagine we take the toolbox if it breaks down. He's like, all right, take it. Just now that you said that. Exactly. So we have the tools now in the in the truck. And then he's like, oh, this is it. Take this off. Take this. We start. We're in the woods. Fucking taking. What you unscrewing? The uh uh it's the this is the clutch cable. No, not the clutch cable. It was a um the gas cable to the gas. There's like a little fucking Oh, that's right because you were like when you push the gas, the gas isn't doing anything. Nothing happened when you pushed the gas. Cuz what what he would what he would normally do is you would like just get it started and then rip the gas and that would get it to turn over. But he was ripping the gas like it wasn't even making noise. just using context clues. Yes. We're like using our brains. Is this cable? Is this we were jiggling. I'm like, jiggle this one. I'm like looking under. I'm like, that one, jiggle the other one. He's like, we found the cable. We found the cable. No clue, bro. We even said like, imagine pros watching us like fucking monkeys with hammers. Do that, do this. Try the fucking the enthusiasm. I was so Oh, this one. Jiggle the cable, jiggle the cable. I'm like, okay, you're right, you're right. Oh, this nigga. Where does this lead to? Didn't do shit, obviously. didn't do fucking nothing. And we're like, all right, start it up. It's going to work. I have faith. Boom, boom, same exact thing. didn't fucking change anything. So then now, I'm like, Ethan, you go, you go rip it, whatever. And um you're going to keep fucking with it. I'm going to I'm going to figure this out. So I'm talking to fucking chat GBT like what the hell could be wrong. We don't know if it's the carburetor, the valve, whatever. She don't want to be ridden. Didn't want to be ridden that that day. But I know that my battery was definitely fucked up, right? So then I um but like I was thinking like if the battery's dead, I should still be able to bump start it and then it was basically saying like if it's fucking fried that you the bump start's not going to do anything. So then I uh I actually we switch at first. Yeah, so then you start ripping around. Then then I'm like, what else can I fuck with on this thing? So I'm I rip it just for like He could have jumped from his to yours. We don't have cables. And then I was I looked that up. We could have taken wrenches, but I was like, we're not fucking going to get hurt out here. Yeah, yeah. like um Could have just touched it. I thought about it. I thought about it, but we um so I'm riding and I only rode for like a minute and I was like, oh fuck, I got to figure this out. Like it is so much fun. It's more it's so much more fun with two like ripping it is fun, but you're just like, all right, you know. just fucking even power sliding, fucking ripping. I'm like, oh dude, I got to figure this out. So he goes back on. I look up the battery that I need, right? And they just have it at um O'Reilly. O'Reilly Auto parts. It's fucking a mile or two down the road. O'Reilly. So we we pack up the uh the quads again, which take two seconds. Easy. Very easy. So amazing. And then we go we go to O'Reilly Auto parts and then change the uh I get the battery. It was an adventure, bro. It was like a mission to get this fucking beast to wake up. It's going to be fucking awesome. So we're going there. We park the fucking thing in in we have a trailer and an FJ we're just parking randomly in the in this parking lot. I go into Auto Riley and I get the exact battery that I need. I go back in. We we hook it up. We hook it up and then I go to start it and now it's cranking but it won't turn over. It's like we're one step closer. Like now cuz now before he would start it and it's just like dead silence. Like nothing. whatever. Now it's like it's actually trying to fucking do it. Yeah, but it won't start. I'm like, what the fuck is this? So then like I go inside and when I walk back inside, there's this fat Mexican O'Reilly guy that's just fucking with me and he pretends to lock the door, right? And then I'm like, what the fuck? And then I realized he's he's like messing with me. I'm like, bro, you know anything about quads? He's like, why, what's up? And I'm like, bro, my quad won't start. I don't know what the hell's going on. He's like, oh, let's fuck let's fuck around with it. So he goes he grabs I'm standing on the trailer. So real quick. This is inside first. So then he goes, he grabs starting fluid and then gets his buddy too. He's like, let's go fuck around with this quad. They're just bored. Just bored, exactly. So we walk out. Bro, the doors I'm on the quad like just looking at it like I'm looking at fucking quantum mechanics here. And I see the door swing open, the sun fucking blazing in golden hour and I'm like these guys are walking in slow motion, bro. It's the fat Mexican fucking his co-worker and Damian just like fucking with like a can of it looked like spray paint. He's like shaking it up. Damian's like there fucking I'm like, oh, this is going to work. Whatever they have planned is going to work, guaranteed. Bro, fuck I knew it was going to work. So then he's like, where's your air intake? Fucking I don't know. Rip open. Well we I knew it right here. What? We knew where that like I knew where that was before. So took the seat off, opened it up and then um he starts spraying the the fucking starting fluid when I'm So yeah, the can has starting fluid. He starts spraying that shit in the intake and ripping it. And it's doing something. He does it on right away, it started even more. I'm like, oh, it's working. It's going to work. So then what? You you started gunning it or something? It doesn't matter. So like what we start fucking he's like, rip it, rip it, rip it. And then it rips, some fucking black smoke or some shit shoots out the back whatever. And then he's like, all right, let it go. And then it's fucking running. And I'm like, bro, now the thing is is like, do I have to leave this thing on right now or will it start again? Could have you could have had some kind of build up because that black smoke stuff. He said he said yeah, like if we were trying to start it over and over that we flooded it. Isn't that what he Could have flooded it. He also said that um he asked if there was like bad fuel in there. We also took it in water. So there's a bunch of shit that could have been happening. All right. He's doing the same thing you were doing, bro. He's like just giving me answers, okay? Don't matter. He gives me he he uh he's like, all right, or actually at first I was like, if I shut this off, will it start again? Cuz I was ready to ride to Bastrop with the thing on. No, just keep it on the on the trailer. Yes. No, the engine on. Yeah, leave the engine on, but quad. Yeah, keep it on the trailer. Oh, I thought you meant ride it to there. No, I'm not riding that thing on the fucking. All right, just making sure. No, but leave the engine on. Yeah, yeah, for sure. and ride it there. That's what I initially was asking. But I was like, can we shut it shut it off? He's like, all right, let's fucking see. We shut it off, it starts back up again, I think or we might we might need it a little bit more. Yeah, he just a little another spray and then it started and then he's like rip like floor it to me on the yeah, like just static floor it. It was sick. It was working. The beast awakened. And so we're like, let's fucking go. There's still daylight, sun setting. Like let's go. And we're like, let's fucking go. We're only five minutes from the the trails. So we go back and got that last drive back was like the same excitement of like, let's go. this is going to work. And then uh, you know, we take the quads off. And then we fucking ride and it's Oh, that mean then there was some other the ride itself was fucking crazy, man. Like the puddles and all that shit. The ride was awesome. So we're ripping it in and it was fucking sick. That's a fun fucking place to go. and it's right there. like I go there a lot. Dude. It was it was amazing. We're ripping it around and then one of the last few trails. I decided to take a left. We decided, yeah, the entire time we're staying closer to the right hand side of things. The reason I wanted to go, I'm like, we haven't gone that way yet, so. The whole time we haven't gone down. And something was saying, don't go in that direction for whatever reason. That's the same thing was telling me and I said, no. Fuck you. It was like, it was like, you know like Lord of the Rings when they look down this path and it's like dark and there's cobwebs. I'm like That's what it felt like to me. That's to me too, but I'm like, we must conquer new lands. We're I looked at I'm like, let's go. You know, for some reason, um I had asked, I was like, should I take my gun with me? Cuz we're in the middle of fucking nowhere. I was like, should I take my gun with me? And he was like was like, well, I didn't think you would at in the beginning, but now that you say it, I'm like, like kind of similar idea with the tools, but I didn't take my gun. Yeah, now that you say it, maybe take but I Yeah, but I didn't I well, it's in the car. like I'm not ripping around with it. But the thing is when we turned left, I was like, is that was that why I needed it? Like Oh, you thought that. I thought that when we were going down cuz I was like Why do you think what do you think there's in there or something? Fucking, I don't know, mountain lion, bear, redneck, whatever the fuck. Ku Klux clan members. Who the fuck knows? It's been people shooting out there like just drunk red necks shooting at trees. KKK, I'm like, fuck it, fine. Get him. I got one here, boys. I got one. Get that motherfucker. He's been following me all day. I'm a true Christian. Get him. Amen. Hide them curls. Yeah. So we're going down and then I'm like, fuck, maybe I should have brought my gun. except for the puddles. I didn't know what the hell. I something felt wrong, but then, you know, it's still a fun fun time. and then now we're going divots get deeper and deeper. Yeah, so the first kind of dip, there's like some water. I'm like, I didn't want to get wet, you know, like it was already getting dark. It was fun in it was fun in Marble Falls cuz uh it was sunny still. So it's like, all right, we get wet a little bit, no big deal. drive. sun was setting. We put the lights on, bro. It was dark. headlights on. Yeah, yeah. the lights working good? They're great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. a lot, yeah. I would yeah, yeah, they're fine. Yeah. I'll get like a headlamp too, honestly. I feel like that's just short but not far, right? Yeah, it's you only see like right in front of you. Where you going to put the headlamp on your on the helmet? You could, you could. You have a headlamp for helmets? Well, just like a one of the big one. You can't wrap around your head cuz you're wearing a helmet. You extend it. Extend it. Okay. All right, anyway. Put on your chest too. All right, we can do that. So, we're going down the the first divot, it's fucking there's puddles. I'm like, god damn it. So we get wet. We go up. And then we go bigger divot. bigger divot and more and we can't go to either side. I'm like, fuck, why did we go this way? I'm thinking this too, but I'm like, I'm not turning back. I'm like, it's fine, right? What the fuck? Yeah. So then we go through a deeper fucking one. And then I'm like, okay, thank God we're out of that. Oh my god, there's a fucking like a fucking crater, bro. Like a pool. This is a straight road? I mean, it was straight this way, but it was like fucking roller coaster. at the end of the road was like a like a few houses there. Yeah, yeah. You know where that is? Yeah. And they're filled with it must have rained recently. It's fucking filled. I'm like Jesus. That's where I took the picture with Lewis on that road. So we are uh we're going down and it's like we're not gunning it in the water. or up to the water. approaching. We're approaching super slow, but then we're trying to rip. You didn't go around around. There's like trees. There's there was like the first one or two you could, but the last one it was like puddle and then tree. Like trees were around like there's no clear fucking way for your quad to go. So and you want to at least what I was doing, I was trying to keep like one side on it, right? And then trying to rip it through so at least I have some traction to go. And uh so he goes I'm like, I'm going first. He's in front. He's the one leading right now. And I fucking like I approach the puddle slow and then as I go in, when I feel it getting like too bogged down, I try to gun it because I don't want to get stuck in the water. I don't know what's under that fucking water. It's like brown as fuck. So I gun it to not get stuck. My underwater tire catches something, rips my handlebars to the right and it sends me up all the way. Nearly off the cliff. Yeah, he's watching this. And uh I'm like going and being like jolted around. I'm standing trying to like fucking absorb this thing and I'm just like, okay, I can't really like break properly. So I just let the clutch go so it stalls and brings me to a nice stop. Right before I maybe went off a little bit of a divot on the other end there, you know? So from my perspective, I see him get jolted to the right and then slowly roll into a tree. Yeah. It was a it was a nice gentle roll. It wasn't like you ran into. I didn't crash. This is good that you guys are learning like a little bit of the nuances of like the dangers, the dos and don'ts. It take it takes some people. You could just break, bro. Uh Huh? No. We could use because you can absolutely break, yeah. Yeah, but I was like losing traction. Like I needed I needed the back tires to break. You can use back brakes. But I wasn't aware enough of that. I'm not good at using the back brake yet, honestly. I feel like that's important, you know. Yeah, for sure. Okay, so anyway, so from my perspective, I'm up on the top hill cuz I'm not I'm letting him go first. and I see him and then he slowly like stops into a bunch of trees. The trees are like, you know, it's like the tree out in front of my house. It's not like a big oak or something. They're like twigs or something. They're like twigs, but he stalls in a bunch and then um I'm like, okay. So then I go through it and then I'm waiting for him and he's trying to pull it out. Oh, then you you turned around or you went ahead? No, no, I think I um I think I went through the water and then was just waiting for you to uh Oh, to go back on the trail. Yeah, yeah. to pull your quad back onto the trail. And then I was like, you need help? He's like, maybe. Maybe. But no, I got it. So then no, what do you mean I did help? Yes. So I I stopped my quad. I didn't know you helped. And then I went I walked over and then I didn't see this at first cuz there's just a bunch of wood, right? So everything looks kind of level in my eyes from that perspective. When I get to the quad, I see a big drop off and like a ravine and I'm like, oh fuck, dude, that could have been fucking bad. He's like, yeah, let's pull this quad out or whatever. Yeah, it could have been. So we pulled the quad out and then we're like, all right, well, glad everything worked out. We we drive away, we go back up and we're at the fucking neighborhood. So immediately I'm like, oh, we're going to have to go back through that. So we turn around and we go right back through the fucking thing. But then it was better the second time. It was better the second time. But then Ethan was like, you lead Damian. Yeah, I'm like, why don't you go first this time? That road is fun. It was just got to be careful. Yeah, yeah. That whole thing was such a fucking adventure. There's a few trails that lead off of that road too. I I haven't explored yet. Yeah, if you if you keep like we turned left, if you keep going down, there's other I mean I mean on that road there's a few trails that lead off. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, if you're going ahead towards the houses, if you look to the right, there's a couple trails that lead off. I don't know, but there was uh there were a couple times when we first started riding around, not that I got my bearings down like um towards the end of it, but in the beginning, when we were just riding for like the first like 10 minutes we were riding and I'm like, I have no idea where we are, bro. Yeah. There yeah, I know. we were like exploring first like I didn't I didn't pay attention like like oh the car's this direction. Like I should have been paying attention but there was just so excited. I'm like let's rip it. We put the car in the perfect spot like between those two like long goes, I guess, you know. Yeah, yeah. Um plus there's those big towers where like if you kind of come close to one, you know which way to go to get back to the the car. There's another guy there in a 400 doing donuts and shit. Oh yeah. That's the spot. You said I had a nice FJ. Just saying. It was a fucking blast and I don't know how to wheelie yet. Dude, the one I have to try to learn. You're a natural. It's my people's past time, you know, it's like we might have invented the wheelie to be honest. You know who Bubba um invented the wheel maybe. Bubba Jenkins? Why did I think Bubba Jenkins? Who is that? Why did I think Bubba Jenkins? I think Bubba Jenkins is is a wrestler. I'm talking Oh, I don't like a an actual wrestler or WWE? I think James Stewart. He's a quantum mechanic. I think you know who James Stewart is? It's the greatest like black motocross rider ever. They have those. The faster fastest man on a on a dirt bike ever. Wow, we're always the fastest, huh? Yeah, he's even in bed. phenomenal, dude. Really? He alive? He's alive. No, he he died. He died. He's like in his 40s now but he doesn't ride anymore. one of the fastest guys ever. Damn. Why do you think his name was Bubba? That's his nickname. Oh. Cuz you said something Stewart. Well, it's Bubba Jenkins, Bubba his name's James Stewart, but his nickname is Bubba. We call him Bubba. And then I said Bubba Jenkins, which led us to He invented the Bubba scrub. Which is? Yeah, as you elaborate. It's like it's like a it's like a whip, but you stay really low. You know what a whip like on on a dirt bike? I know what a whip is. Oh, where you you jump and your back wheel goes out. Oh, wait. like scrub? Oh, like when you're jumping. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay, okay. Oh, wait. Let me take a guess. Yes. Where you're trying so he's racing, right? And there's like a jump. So instead of going all the way up the jump, he just jumps a little early, gets the tire over to get traction faster to like shave seconds off. Close. Uh if you if you if you jump if you bubble scrub, you can pretty much carry more speed and stay lower to the ground. So it's a it's a shorter shorter parabola essentially, yeah. Shorter parabola. Yeah. Parabola. Dude, there was one time we were fucking uh going down in Bastrop and there's like two two straightaways. you know what we're talking about. There's there's two straightaways and we were on both sides like like Yeah, it was dude. so fucking awesome. We jumped by accident. By accident. We it's what's funny is we jumped the first times we tried this little one and then the rest of the time we would do it and we weren't we're like in my head I'm like, okay, I jumped. Where where did you jump at? Was there a bunch of little like jumps in a row? No, it's just one between two trees. It was like a very safe way to. It was a it was a tiny jump. The first time I just kind of like ripped it over not really expect like I was on my I was off my ass. So when I when I jumped, I was fine. I was like, oh, I just jumped. Like same exact. I didn't realize. I heard the tires go I'm like, oh, that's them losing the ground. Wow. I'm airborne. Less of that, gentlemen. Yeah, yeah. Well, anyways, um I tried to so when we were when we were done having a blast of a fucking time, we're going on the the trailer. So before we would shut it off, put it in neutral, we'd lift the front end, someone or I would push it from behind and then lift it up. Yeah. I'd like lift up the front, push, push, yeah. Exactly. So that's how we were doing it. And then I was like, we just had a great time. Let me try to like see if I can wheelie this thing. I've never tried to wheelie it ever in my life. So I just finished changing. I walk over and I see I see him lining it up. I'm like, oh, he's going to try to just like drive it on. Okay, let me watch this. And he just goes boom. Let me tell you let me tell you. Oh, you ruined it. Come on. Sorry. I didn't know I didn't know you're trying to wheelie, honestly. Well, so like in my head, I should have tried it in flat land at first. I should have just really tried, right? So, but I like I put one knee on uh like in the back or whatever. and then I uh I get a little like a few feet away and I I'm holding the clutch and it's in first and I'm like giving it some gas and I'm thinking like when I drop this like I can fucking pull up and then the front the front wheels will come up, right? Oh, you think you can muscle it up? I I thought I was thinking more like a a fucking I was thinking like a do this. a bike a bike wheelie. cuz I can wheelie on a bike, of course. And uh so I I'm leaning back a little bit and then I go to drop it but I don't give it enough gas, I guess. and uh yeah, I just floored it. I floored it. He just goes boom. I also I also scream. It's like, here goes nothing. It's like, all right, we'll shut it off. Put it in neutral. We'll get this thing in there. Yeah. What's that remember the movie where it's like the other guy? America. We floor in the Prius or something. That's kind of uh what it felt like cuz I was like, I I should have just done it in fucking flat land to see it like how to actually get the front tires up. I've never gotten front tires up before. Yeah, it's it's now's my chance. Now's the time to do it. You should you should whenever you're there, it's flat, right? You should just good place to practice. Yeah, and if you fall if you fall backwards like it's nothing. Just stand up. You have to put your knee on the seat to wheelie? No. That's just the best way to like like kind of get a dismount. Yeah, dismount, get a feel for it. Oh, and like in case you fuck up, you Yeah, if if not, you just fall on your back, but you'll kick the quad away. It'll be fine. But you can do it seated. Oh, okay. Are you supposed to do it seated and just like kind of lean back or something? The best way to do it is I mean, if you're the better way to do it, I think if you're good at it is staying seated. But you can stunt on it if you're good. So you okay. I really wanted it um my knee there in case like I had to get off the fucking thing. The dismount quick. Yeah, bro. What the hell? If I fuck this thing up, I'm on my on my back. I think you're I mean your legs are strong enough. It's only 400 pound quad. Like you could probably you could press Dude, you could probably press like 800 pounds easy. I don't want that thing falling on me while I have to press. You think it's definitely better. I'll let it fucking go. I don't care. Yeah, you'd be fine. I wouldn't care. I I'd let it go. So that was that was the quadding and then uh I guess that's it, right? That's all three adventures. Wow. So fun. What a fucking time. Quadding is amazing. It's so much fun. Fucking under. We should go soon. I'm so down, dude. It's like I understand now why people like love it so much because it's it's super fun, man. It's my people's past time. We should go real soon. Don't go today. I can't. All right, tomorrow. Tomorrow we go right after practice. We could be you could be back home by 4:00. Oh, I can't. I can't. You could be back here by 4:30. Except that's coming. Right after what? Dude, we we leave we leave the the gym at 2:00. Trailer. You'd be you'll be on there on the trailer by 2:30. I thought you guys I thought you guys. I'm going to take this weekend off. We can go today. I can't. Why? You couldn't go yesterday and now you can't go today. Yesterday I couldn't, but today also I can't. I'm teaching. Good. Good. Yeah. Do something. No play. You need a truck? Trailer. That was so easy. You could just put a hitch on the beamer. He has a hitch on his Subaru. You're you could it's fine. It's so easy. But but his hitch hits everything though. Yeah, I mean that uh well yeah, my trailer hitch whenever like I I when I go to back out of my driveway cuz it's on a slant, I have to turn the fucking wheel because it hits everything. Oh yeah. I I remember that and I forgot until the last time I was in your car. scared the shit out of me. Yeah, yeah, I went to drop him off. He was like getting the flat tire fixed and I brought him after practice and we just going to pull it's like a small little fucking bump. I remember Puerto Rico, it just scraped on everything. Yeah. You can put a hitch on the lady's car. We're getting rid of that thing. Oh. You're getting a truck? Yeah, we'll have a truck soon. With a bed or a SUV? No, no, no. it'll be a SUV. It's okay.

Stop looking at it. Stop looking at it. It is counter intuitive. It's it's uh the smaller the trailer, the the more difficult it is to to drive. Because it's a sharper angle turn and you like one little wrong turn will send the whole thing crooked and So uh 18 ft? 6x18 or 12x18? No, no. 6x18. 6x18. They're all six. That's perfect. 6x18 will put three on it. Wow. You don't think so? We had 6x12 and put two on it. We get it for 500. We had 6x12 and put two on it. 5 to 800. We'll say 500, dude. Let's fucking go.

You should you should try to ride like like uh one of these guys so you can get a feel for a a clutch and just see if you're interested. Yeah. Why don't you want a sports one? Like why I just I just like it. also it's I don't know, I feel like it's better for fucking like going actual like off-roading, going through puddles and shit like that. It definitely is better for like mudding. It's all all-wheel drive. Yeah, usually. Yeah. Um and like those things still go fucking fast as shit. Like the like our quads growing up where they were like mudding quads, but they were they would it'll keep up with fucking the quads fine because you guys aren't ripping it as hard as you possibly can. be for yourself.

You said something about not going fast enough. It's her dad's quad. So then she's like, you know, like if you if you fuck it up, you have to pay for whatever's broken. And then he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. But the thing is, it's not fast enough. Like he has no idea how to ride these things. Zero idea. He almost hit a tree in the middle of nothing. In the car. In a normal car. On a also on a quad. And he hit the tree in the car. Dismissive. Dismissive. He's like, yeah, yeah, I won't crash. So you said something earlier about and then jumping.

I can't talk shit, but It's interesting uh like being out there for the last like week of fight camp with them because they're all from Northeast like Philly and Jersey. and you can just like you can banter with them unlike a lot of other people. Yeah. Like down south or just like people that you don't know too well, like you can't talk shit with them, but like you can It's rough, so you're good. Yeah, you can talk shit whatever. Yeah.

I think um I think I think just the experience like understanding what these guys go through a little bit more uh especially the the finishing touches was cool. Also, it's just good to see the immediate gratification of like we I obviously work with Joe Joe over the past few years on on grappling and then just did a a couple sequences uh in the last last week that happened almost exactly the way um we drilled it in the fight. So it's pretty awesome to see. Should have gave you that sub bonus. That's right. TKO bonus. Dude, I'm so happy for him. Basically, you won. That boy comes from a rough rough upbringing, yeah.
