Fat Chance Podcast - Ep.24 - Nathan Clark & Cullen Grunewald

Episode Date: August 11, 2021

Both Nathan and Cullen are two of the founding members of Brothers Midwest Productions. As avid hunters, along with the rest of the members of BMP, they are setting out to educate those on the world of hunting while capturing the intricacies of not only the hunt itself but the preparation and respect that goes into harvesting and animal.

Oh, front? I said the front. You're good now. We're actually going now. We're actually live, huh? Yeah. Live? We're live. It took a while. I didn't know, actually, like, I thought, like, the little, uh, what I deleted was, like, bare minimum for storage space. I might just delete all of them and, like, be ready to go for the next 20 episodes.

I mean, I've never gotten that, but, like but my computer just goes, yeah, your storage is at zero. Figure it the fuck out, buddy. Well, what would it be if you just took, instead of just deleting them and never having them again, saving them onto something else? Well, that's the thing. So I have a, I need to figure out, my buddy,

I got new chairs. My buddy's like, you should just probably invest in. I was thinking people with chills. I'm just going to say that. I'm sorry. No, that's good. That's a nice Bush Light ASMR.

We'll send that to them. Maybe they'll sponsor us later. Right now, people are getting chills up their spine. That's your second one. You said after you had your second one, you're switching to regular guys? In case anyone's wondering, it is 9 o'clock in the morning. Happy Saturday, everyone. This isn't a drinking podcast either, right?

Well, no, it is. No, it definitely is. I mean, I've had, like, what? How many people's shotgun? People are like, do you think they would like a shotgun? I'm like, go for it. I'm not going to do it, but go for it. If you all are lucky today, you're going to see the slowest shotgun of your life.

And maybe I'll pop one. Oh, that's the only thing I have to tell you is make sure your body is pointed towards there. Well, not extreme, but – and then you're talking into the mic. That's it. Gotcha. So it would go a little closer to it. Well, I can see all your guys' – you're fine. You're fine.

I don't want to be working this thing like a stripper. No, you're good. You're fine. You're fine. I don't want to be working this thing like a dancer. I don't want to be working this thing like a stripper. No, you're good. You're good. I feel like I'm going to break this chair, though. No, it's okay. I've had a lot heavier people sit on these things. They're just, you know, they're really cheap.

I bought them when we made, this right here is actually a bar. It's a pallet bar. That's a beautiful bar. Yeah, it's fucking gorgeous right now, isn't it? I want to set it up for an episode. Set it up? Right next to me. And then I bought

these chairs for it. We brought it up to college and I was like, we got to take so good care of it for the first couple months. And then I was like, fuck it, I'm not taking this, setting this up,

setting this down every season. And so I like, fuck it. I'm not taking this, setting this up, setting this down every season. So I just left it outside. I left these chairs outside in the middle. I'm in Wisconsin where I'm like, fuck it. They made it through. These used to be complete.

A little bit of mold on the bottom. These weren't gray when I got them. They are now. And this can't be green treated. No. This is $10. Do you think this is green treated? This is $10. Do you think this is green treated? It's alone is worth more than these chairs.

They look good though. It gives it that rustic look. It's kind of nice. Except for. Yeah. That's getting clipped. That's for sure. Yeah. That's getting cut out. I feel like this will be a well clipped That's for sure Yeah That's getting cut out

Well that's why we have I feel like this will be A well clipped video Yeah I gotta clean up Some storage On my fucking computer I have a feeling

By at least By 10am I'm gonna be smoked Yeah I'm worried I'm straight up worried For my day I was supposed to My original plan

You should let them know What time you got home Last night Yeah 4 o'clock In the morning Yeahclock in the morning. This was supposed to happen at 8.30. I was sleeping like a baby. It's 9.45 now.

He's like, how about 9? I'm like, yeah, that's fine. I had like 9 alarms set. All I needed was a shower. In the shower, I was like, alright, I'm ready to go. My original plan was go to the open mic, Now I made, all I needed was a shower. And I was like, I literally, in the shower, I was like, all right, I'm ready to go. Let's do this.

No, my original plan was go to the open mic, come home right away. Didn't happen. And set up, have like a bloody bar waiting for you guys. I'd have like one drink. Didn't know you guys were like ready to drink. So I was like, probably, it's probably a good thing. I texted you. And then I was going to go work out know. It's probably a good thing. I texted you. And then I was going to go work out after this. That's not fucking happening.

Are you kidding me? I was supposed to also work off the past three days and that didn't happen. Well, I got, I got five days in this week, but there you go. I'm not, it's not happening today.

I have a buddy coming down after you, like probably 45 minutes after you guys leave. Really? And we're going golfing. I don't know. Yeah. So, yeah. And then we're going to see Rogan. I'm? And we're going golfing. I know. Yeah. So. Yeah.

And then we're going to see Rogan. I'm like, I'm going to be absolutely torched. That's going to be a great show though. Where's he? That'd be cool. Pfizer. Pfizer? Yeah.

Oh, that's cool. Jeez. I didn't even know he was coming to town. That's going to be probably a solo show, huh? I didn't either. He's a big hunter. He is. He's a hunter.

No, he's not. He's like really cool with like Steve Rinell from Meat Eaters. Yeah. And Cam Haynes. Cam Haynes. Cam Haynes. He talks to him. Yeah. He's kind of with Steve Rinell from Meat Eaters. And Cam Haynes. Cam Haynes, he talks to him. He went elk hunting with Cam Haynes too. And he got into it. I think Cam got Joe into elk hunting or just hunting in general.

Now he doesn't shut the fuck up about it. Oh really? He loves it. If you follow him on any social media, half his posts are like elk meat and jalapenos or jalapenos, whatever you want to call them. What is the weirdest or what's the most exotic thing you've gone hunting for? This might ruin half my audience, but I hunt giraffes and baby ducks. Honestly, I mean, just elk. I wouldn't even call that exotic.

Yeah, not exotic. That's the only word I could think of. Not whitetail deer. Yeah, I'm a whitetail hunter. The only thing I've really hunted in my life is squirrels, rabbits, and whitetail. Hey, you're a small-tail hunter. We're from Wisconsin. It makes sense.

Honestly, I'm thinking about that question, too. It brings me down the line. I don't even know if you could call this hunting, but carp. Shooting carp. Oh, okay. The boat. Oh, the boat.

I want to try that so bad. It's a blast. It is an absolute blast. It's just a mess. The scales and the blood gets everywhere. They're slimy and gross. They stink. I've done it with them.

Then you've got to worry about where you're going to get rid of them. Put them in mom's garden. Just knock on a farmer's door and see if you can dump them in their field. But I don't know. I mean, that's, I would think that's exotic. It's a, it's an invasive species. I'm glad those are your answers. If I heard like rhino, I'm like, well, we're going to end this episode right now. Zebra. I got a zebra. No, I think,, too, like, hunting has got a bad reputation over the years from, like, safari hunts and whatnot because they are endangered animals that are, you know, people are paying an X amount of dollars to hunt this game. And it's just, like, one of those things where if it's a protected animal, why are we hunting them at all?

So I shouldn't say that I'm disagreeing with hunting safari animals, but just in general. If it's a protected animal, probably not the best idea to be hunting it. I think it's illegal if it's a protected animal. Your brother's dream is to shoot a water buffalo. Is it really? He's talked about it a lot. Is that a protected animal?

I don't think so. Like a black cape buffalo. He says he wants to kill everything that could kill him. The most dangerous animal in the world. That's me. I don't think it happens. Like a black cape buffalo. He says he wants to kill everything that could kill him. Right. The most dangerous animal in the world. Well, that's me. Like, I could kill him. You're lethal. I mean...

Lethal. You seen these fucking arms? Yeah. You got concealed carry for these things or what? Wow. I'm losing audience members at the start of this. Fuck. We're just deleting right now.

Oh, so what's this episode? Killing endangered animals and flexing yeah yeah what no it's um um we can get into it right away though how did you guys uh so it's called brothers just brothers brothers midwest productions okay bmp and i need the whole rundown. So I don't even know everything. Yeah, I'm going to kick this off to him because... Well, you're kind of like... If there's a president of the company, I mean, this is the man.

How many of them are you? Like, is it you two? Was there 12? Doro. 12 of you? There's 10. There's 10? I started trimming the fat here, boys.

No, so how it kind of started is, and this is going to be kind of a funny story, but if we're talking about beer or drinking, whatever. Everything happens around a beer. Right. I always said the best thing that's ever happened to me is I met, and this is actually how Brothers Midwest kind of like the birth of Brothers Midwest came, I was actually at Kelly's Bar in Oshkosh, right off

of campus, and Jacob Rand he's like our videographer professional editor I ran into him, he was wearing a camouflage vest and I was just torched I went up to him and I'm like I'm like hey where'd you get that vest? And he's like Shield shields, 70 bucks. Right after that, right after he said that

phrase, I'm like, we're going to be friends. He threw the price out there. He threw the price out there. Exactly. And he told me where he got it. But realistically, I didn't give, I did not give a crap where he got that vest from. Him and I started talking hunting, and we started getting into what he did for fun. And when I connected the idea of, like, production with hunting and outdoors, we kind of both looked at each other like, we should start, like, filming our hunts. Soon after that, I'm good buddies with Matt Wachoyak, Jay Wachoyak, from down in Muskego here a couple other buddies up by me in Oshkosh and Fond du Lac we uh we just we brought this idea together of connecting

our hunting passion with filming at a high quality yeah um in a high quality resolution and showing it to people through YouTube um and after after we kind of came up with that idea we just started thinking okay what's a name what's a name that we could use? What's a logo we could use the same year that we were thinking about names and logos and how we're going to start this thing. What are we going to be known as? I like it by the way. Um, no, yeah, it's simple.

It is. It is. And I'm still trying to find my own logo. So it's actually, and I guess this is a perfect time for me to share this but our logo um and i guess our our main our main brand image is this shed antler that's on my hat here yeah um but this is actually the shed antler off of a buck that was killed by matt wachowiak in 2019 and it ended up scoring 202 ace inches and these are the sheds off the buck from the year before. So it really does, I mean, it means something.

Our logo means something. And actually, a little while after he shot this buck, I just watched a dog walk by. Hold on, Penny! Hold this mic. I'll be right back. No, keep talking. Keep talking. I just got to leave the set to go feed the dog but no the uh after we and that's soon

after you met him nate like you met him at the gym after like asking are you the guy we made a we did like an informal podcast talking about prince how i even got brought up to it and even heard about anything was actually the very first, before I even heard. This is a well produced show. Before I even heard about you or anybody or even the name on YouTube

it popped up the video of you and Matt talking about Matt's 200 inch Prince that he shot. And then I found out. I'm like, holy shit. This kid lives in Muskego. He lives right down the road. Wait, so you guys didn't know each other. You guys haven't always been friends.

No. I've known you for three months. Three months? Yeah, I literally just met this guy. Yeah. And we brought him. And I asked you to do this show. And you're like, I'm bringing this guy.

I know you're really going to like him. Yeah. No, I literally, I met, Matt met Nate. Nate helped Matt and Jake out, kill a bunch of turkeys down in Franklin or in that area this year. Yup. And Matt called me. He's like, you got to meet this kid.

He's as you know, he's a great guy. Yeah. I met Nate Clark and I, we've, before I even met Nate, it was kind of weird because we would spend like hours on the phone. And I didn't even know him. You guys were fucking dating? I felt that. We were just...

You guys were on FaceTime? Yeah. Yeah, literally. We talked to hours in the morning. Yeah. He called me one time. He's like... Good night, good morning text.

He called me one time. He's like this. He's like, are you thinking about deer hunting right now? And I'm like... All tuned off. And I'm like this. I'm like, yeah. He's like, do we just become best now and I'm like all tuned off and I'm like this I'm like yeah he's like

do we just become best friends I'm like yeah we do I feel like right now I'm looking at like two more Stevens right now and it's bothering

the shit out of me well it doesn't bother me but it is like for my like perspective right

well you're a deer hunter yourself I am I don't know if they even know that I mean I don't know if they even know that. I mean, I don't know if I've talked about it on here, really. I don't think you have. It's a perfect opportunity. He shot, actually, a really nice buck.

How many years ago? Two? I mean, I can look it up on my phone. I think two, three. You said a nice buck. I think it was, like, three years ago. Bow or gun? Gun. Gun.

Is that the gun? I got, like, all my hands are folded. I mean, that could be a bow, too. Yeah. I went with the recoil look. Gone. Is that the gun? I mean, that could be a boat, too. Yeah. I went with the recoil look. Yeah. I'll pull it up on my phone. That's awesome.

Yeah, no, it's like we've never had a – I think it's the biggest year that came off our property. Steven said it was. It's the biggest buck that's came off our property. I think Steven's a little pissed that it's not him. He's a little jealous. Yeah. I mean, I would be, too.

Oh, yeah. When we first started hunting, my dad said, because we brought Andrew once. Why do you know he's never been out there? Well, he went when we have this, my dad's uncle, we would go there. And he came to this property once when we would just watch my dad bow hunt. And, you know, like when you go to hunter safety like we joke about it now like the the golden rule is like tab k or something like that it's like treat every gun if it's loaded be sure of your target and beyond keep k yeah i've never heard of that keep keep your keep like and we like the only reason i know that's because we make yeah always like i don't even know what

the a is um keep your finger out of the trigger until you're ready to shoot. And then my dad, like, the only reason I know this is because we say it every year. And then my dad goes, what's the other one? I go, never let Andrew shoot a bigger deer than you. And I think it's like we're always like, because Andrew never goes. So now it's like never let your brother shoot a bigger deer than you. So I have Steven right now. But I'm fully convinced because he's going to end up hunting more in his lifetime than i am he'll shoot a bigger one but yeah it was uh it was

pretty good i shot it within it was a dream shoot for me because it was fucking cold and it was opening day i think and it was 30 minutes i like woke up i like getting my i have to walk like a it feels like a quarter mile i think to get in my I have to walk like a It feels like a quarter mile I think to get in my stand I have to cross a river Put on waders to get To my stand Wow

That's some hardcore stuff You work for it Yeah I'm dripping sweat By the time I get there Hating your life at this point I'm like I wanna fucking Like it

It's like 5 degrees outside In the morning Yeah And I get to my stand It's a typical Wisconsin And I'm like And I'm taking my hat off I got like the neck warm

I'm taking it off But That's all shit that I know but the problem is is like when you start sweating and it's like this isn't gonna last for the next six hours yeah so then that sweat gets real cold and all of a sudden I'm just like freezes so I just like go to bed go to bed and I literally like I think I passed over five minutes I woke up and I saw a core my just like movement to bed, go to bed. And I literally like, I think I passed over five minutes. I woke up and I saw a cormorant just like movement. And you woke up and he was right there. Kinda. Yeah.

So I saw a movement. Come on. Yeah. Saw movement. And then it took me like five minutes cause he wasn't moving a lot. And I was like, I think that's a deer. And then I'm just here. And I'm like, I'm like half asleep think that's a deer. And then, I'm just here,

and I'm like, I'm like half asleep. I'm half asleep. And then I'm like, I scope him, but I can't, because it's so dark. I can't tell if it's a buck or a doe. I'm like,

I think it's a buck. No lie, I didn't know how big it was when I shot it. Come on. I'm dead serious. I will on my mom's luck. Did you know it was a buck? I did know it was a buck. I did not know how big it was.

Didn't just... I think I was... I think in the back of my head, I knew it was decently big. Yeah. Because... You didn't know. But I had no clue.

No clue. So, like, when I scoped it, and it's still semi, like, dark out, I'm like, all right, I think I see antlers. Like, no is doing this. No branch is walking through. There's no branch moving.

I can't tell what it is. It's not as light as it is now. Right. I can tell it's bigger than a fork or spike. That's my rule up there because we don't see the biggest deer where we hunt. Right. I won't shoot a fork, a spike, even like a small six because I want things to grow. Right.

Even though like we're surrounded by people, like it's just like a pipe dream. Let them grow. Let them grow. And I was like, all right, this is bigger than a six. And I was like, all right, it's down. Here we go. And shot it. And you know, like how far was it?

I'm terrible at that. Everyone always how far was it I'm terrible at that everyone always asks that and I'm terrible like my first year ever shot I go it was like 30 yards my dad goes that was like 120 it was probably 70 okay and he was like 280 yeah yeah like multiply by four but um no it's like i don't know i think everyone like a respectable hunter like you shoot like i still shake every time i shoot something because you know it means something it's exciting and then if you if you're not shaking you shouldn't be exactly like if you know you know you just took a life and you're just like, that was fun. I'm like, alright, psycho.

Dexter. It's a weird feeling. It really is. I called my radio to my dad. Actually, no. This happened to be the one time I forgot my radio. i have no radio i have nothing to tell delta niner niner

just dropped so they're trying to rate him like because when anyone shoots around us because we're all fairly close when we hunt together because i go with chad fry too and steven and like if someone like we think shoots like, was that you? And so I shoot and I realize I don't have a radio. And so in my head, they're all like, was that you? And I'm like just not replying. It's at the cabin. Like the cabin's like, yep. They're all just talking.

You open it, it's still like the radio playing. Like, oh, knocking boots. Yeah. They're on my boots. Exactly. And so I was so excited so i i got down and when i saw the deer like yeah we need to go find my dad now yeah and i walked to my dad and for some reason it's daylight at this point it's like eight now yeah i think i shot i waited

a while to go see him right by a while i mean like 30 minutes you think it's a long time you think it's a long time because you're shaking you're cold too when you actually like when you shake and you shoot something like i was warm i was fucking freezing like i gotta be up and i'm like i don't think you'd be mad if i take him out of the stand for this deer and but i'm like, for some reason, I need to go quietly because I don't know if a deer is by him. I apparently went so quietly. My dad is sitting up against a tree.

And in his words, he goes, dude, I thought a deer was going to walk literally right past me. You know. He had his gun. He literally goes, he had his gun ready literally goes he had his gun ready and i'm like i'm no lie i'm like this one i know like 20 yards from like dad nothing he's just frozen that's how you at that point you probably thought he thinks i'm a deer exactly well and i'll no i at that point i was like he sees a deer like he. Like, he sees, like, so now I'm looking.

I'm like, but at the same time, I'm like, dude, but I already got one. Like, you need to see this. And I'm like, dad. And I get there, and I'm like, dad. He goes, Jesus Christ. He goes, dude, I thought you were a deer. I go, I got one. He goes, what?

He goes, you need to see this. He goes, this better be good. And I mean, he was like, holy shit. Like, nice. I still haven't pulled it up yet. That's so funny. It's nothing that I've seen you guys pull out. But for us, it was fantastic.

Oh, yeah. That's a good buck. I mean, for most, I would say for 99% of hunters, it's a deer of a lifetime. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. You got it mounted, right? Yeah. It was a good book. I mean, for most, I would say for 99% of hunters, it's a deer of a lifetime. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. You got it mounted, right? Yeah. I don't know where it is right now, though.

Well, there you go. See, I can't say that about any of my deer heads. I know where every one of them are at all times. You know? Like, it's something, like, for me, like, when I get a deer head. Does your dad have it? I think my dad has it. It's either my dad has it or it's in Steven's closet right right now which we can't go get because you know he's covid positive yeah

well that's gonna all of a sudden youtube just takes his video down right um no he's quarantined don't worry about it um but yeah i think my dad has i think it might be hanging up with my dad's for a while i was gonna give it to chad because like i got no place to put it i'm not gonna put it in the living room here. Right, right. When I have my own place, I'll put it there. Yeah, then you'll grab it.

Right. I was like, because Chad... It should be a part of the podcast. It's a Wisconsin podcast. You just throw it up on the wall. Well, actually, that'd be a good idea

because we got rid of the... No one even sees the paddleboard that was there. Yeah, put that... I want to start adding stuff. Yeah. I'm going to admit, when I move... How much more of Wisconsin does it get? You're sitting here drinking beer with podcasts,

shooting shit with a bunch of guys. Packer, you got Cream City, Fear of the Deer. Oh, no, it's Year of the Deer. And boom, you got... I need a Deerhead and Spotted Cow. How much more of Wisconsin does it get? And some cheese curds.

And some cheese. Oh, God. That would have been great. Maybe we don't do this at 8 o'clock in the morning next time. Yeah. Well, even if it was at 8, we could still eat cheese curds. That's true. I'm just talking.

I'm trying to get them because I'm not going to make them for you. And I don't think anyone is open to make cheese curds at 8 o'clock. Quick trip. Quick trip. A Saturday, I would say, man. I literally thought. Do you have cheese curds at Quick Trip? Quick trip. A Saturday, I would say. I literally thought... Cheese curds at Quick Trip? Oh, man. Are they good?

Have you ever had a Quick Trip? They're good. They're good. How often... You work in construction stuff, right? How often do you eat at the gas station?

Oh, man. I don't even want to admit this right now. It's almost every day. That's bad. So bad. Is that bad? Mine's sometimes twice a day. I used bad. So bad. Is that bad? Mine's sometimes twice a day.

I used to be so healthy. I'm pretty healthy. Yeah, you used to be like, when Steven goes, I'm going lifting, I'm like, who are you going with? He goes, Nathan. I go, okay, good. I thought Steven was going to be fucking yo. I mean, Steven could be a huge dude. Yeah.

Well, most of the time when I go to the gym, I don't want to leak this information, but most of the time when I go to the gym, he's either looking at trucks on his phone, on his phone looking at trucks. That's Steven, though. That's his brand. He likes, I mean, that's. Well, no, that's good. But hey, he's there. He's there.

He's there. Which is true. And he, like, I mean, it's not like he's not doing anything there. He's still lifting. Oh, yeah. I want to bring him with me once. I want to, I mean, I think you would kill him more, but you're doing more heavyweight stuff is my guess.

Most of the time. You're fucking yoked. No, I do. Why think you would kill him more, but you're doing more heavyweight stuff is my guess. Most of the time. You're fucking yoked. No, why do you think he's in a flannel cutoff? I'm a lumberjack. No one dresses normally here. My last fucking episode, Matt had the Viking helmet on.

I seen that. Yeah, you had Matt on. That was awesome. Yeah. He wore that Viking helmet. Yeah, that one was way more tame

than I thought it was going to be. Oh, I thought it was was way more tame than I thought it was gonna be oh I thought it was gonna be wild I thought it was gonna be nuts well he wants to his ideas were like he's he just wants us to drink

and I'm like I'm down for it but like someone's gotta record it for me so maybe we find your guy but no afterwards he goes we should do an episode for cause I have like

this Patreon account that I wanna put extra stuff on, which people would have to pay for. But I think it's just going to be when I'm just stupid drunk. He goes, let's do one. How do you feel about going to work really hungover? I'm like, pretty fucking terribly, to be honest. That sounds awful. And he goes, but I don't work next week. I go, the rest of us do, Matt.

And he goes, let's just get work next week. I go, the rest of us do, Matt. And he goes, let's just get stupid drunk and just talk about whatever and black out in your garage. Honestly, Matt, I don't know if you're listening to this right now, but that's a fantastic idea. It sounds fun. I'm so happy. I mean, maybe not to do it on a Sunday where you have to work. It sounds fun, but I can't do it on a Wednesday.

No. But honestly, how much fun would that be? To get blacked out? I've done it before. Just fucking plastered. Just hammered. Just talking to the mic about random shit. I have one episode on a Patreon account right now.

So I don't know how much, but we did Tending a Lisp. It was me and Braxton. The show we did before this. I wanted to do two episodes a week. I was like, let's just do one where we drink. Because we didn't drink at all when we did that. We would just bring up tacos. I was like, let's do one where we drink.

Dude, we got so fucked up in this garage. And thank God it's not on camera. So fucked up. And then we left and we went to someone's apartment thinking like, oh, we're going out tonight. We didn't go out. We just went there. He fell asleep instantly. I came back home and threw up.

I was like, I was like, it was. And the first podcast I ever did, I just did. I've told you plenty of times, just did straight shots of tequila. Straight shots. Tequila. Because I was trying to get in shape, so we're like, oh, let's do the healthy booze with me and my buddy Sam.

It has not many calories. And we're like, not many calories. And he's like, do you want to mix it with anything? I'm like, should we? He goes, nah, we don't need to mix it with anything. We don't need the extra calories. I'm like, okay, just 11 shots of tequila later, and I'm fucking smoking a stogie on the patio,

and then I wake up in the bathroom. I'm like, what the fuck is happening? I didn't even throw up. If you think about tequila and the proof of tequila, you're drinking a booze that literally dissolves a worm. Yeah. How many shots on us do you think you had that night? I think it's upwards of 15.

Yeah, see ya. Wow. I don't like talking about drinking as much, but I've done worse. I'm telling you right now, I have. You seem proud of that. A little proud of that. To be honest, I would say I'm like 40% proud

60% scared Of like the one night I had In college doing it And we'll tell this And then I want to get back To you guys' company Because that's why we're here But we had a

You alright buddy? You see that? I just dribbled He's too many deep Yeah that was four It's kind of cut off But we So I bartended, obviously, in college. At the W?

Yeah, the W. You went to Wisconsin? Madison, yeah. Nice. You went to Wisconsin? It was Wisconsin. I think we were like, oh, you went to Wisconsin. That's how you know it's like the school in Wisconsin when they call it Wisconsin, yet

every school is UW or something. Yeah, literally. But anyway. You went to Wisconsin? Yeah. Which one? I go, or something you went to Wisconsin yeah which one I go no I went to Wisconsin yeah I know you went I went to UW Madison so it only makes sense that you start a podcast I feel like

because Wisconsin like we're the we are the number one drinking state I think it's like of the top 10 we're like 9 or 8 well I don't know. We gotta be closer. No, no, no. Drinking cities in America, I think of the top 10 or 15,

we're like 9 or 10 of the cities. That's disgusting. It's gross, yeah. I also saw like, before we get to the story, I saw like some take it with a grain of salt, like on Instagram, like the most drinking fan bases for baseball. And like Milwaukee was like.

Oh God, that's got to be up there. No, Milwaukee was like eight. I go, are you kidding me? We're not even top five? He goes, who pre-games the most? I go, what the fuck are you talking? Well, the problem is the stat was. Who's top like three then?

The stat, no, the stat was who drinks the most at a baseball game. And we weren't in the top five. And it's like price per beer and most spent at the game. And I was like, well, okay, it's Milwaukee. It's not as expensive as if you go to Wrigley or Yankee Stadium or anything like that. I mean, Yankee Stadium wasn't up there. But they're like, yeah, they spend more money to begin with. Do you know why they spend more money?

Because we're getting kicked into the game. I don't know if anyone else has ever, like, I straight up, fourth inning, has had someone come knock on the door and be like, hey man, it's the fourth inning. Go into the game. You bought a ticket.

You're here. You might as well go in at this point. They kicked us out of the parking lot and like, get inside. And like they knocked on the door and I was taking poles. Get into the game. I was taking poles of menthol mint like McGillicuddies. And I'm like, sir, do you want to go inside? We're like, no, it's raining.

Like there's a roof. I'm like, I, do you want to go inside? We're like, no, it's raining. Like, there's a roof. I'm like, I don't want to go. I don't want to walk the 200, 300 feet to get into the building. See, that's the difference is the spend. It's like, who's spending a lot of the money? Maybe not Milwaukee, but I can tell you before that game, before the attendance. I'll tell you what. I don't know how you got your stats, but I guarantee you Milwaukee didn't participate in the stats because they're a little too fucked up.

Yes, exactly. Hey, do you want to take a survey? Go fuck yourself. Like, that's... But that just goes to show, like, I mean, yeah, we all love sports and stuff, and some of us may bandwagon. Me. But it's like, we almost have too much fun tailgating to even worry about the damn game. Let's be honest.

When we buy a brewer's ticket, like, I do want to, like, see the game. You're buying a ticket to drink. You're buying a ticket to drink in a parking lot. That's it. That's all you're doing. That's what a Miller, that's what a brewer's ticket is. I've never thought about that. Ten bucks to what?

Like, I'd like to go drink in this parking lot. I'm like, okay, cool. You can do this at home. I'm like, okay, cool. You can do this at home. Like, no, I want to do it here with a bunch of other people. No, I don't think it's all that. Yeah. Well, you pay for the atmosphere. Right.

You really do. And that's, dude, have you ever been to a Packer game? One. I was on one. Let's talk after this, actually, because I have a proposition for you. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

I'm going to be fine. But, dude, that's all it is. That's all. I think Bucs games are the only ones that we fine. But, dude, that's all it is. That's all. I think Bucs games are the only ones that we're not like, hey, let's get fucking wasted. That's because we don't have a parking lot. That's true. We need a parking lot. That's true.

I never thought about that. If we had a parking lot for Bucs games, like, that was connected to the stadium, like, Yeah. Lambeau or Miller Park. Dude be you know how many shots would have been fired when we won the fucking game but bang bang bang they wanted to flip the hop when we yeah do you know someone got shot outside the bar we were at what like straight up shot boom in milwaukee yeah like me and steven were at uh me and steven were Brothers. And all of a sudden, I get, like, we win. Like, we're celebrating.

Like, half the people leave to go, like. You guys were down there? Yeah. Why the fuck would you not be down there? Dude, I just. That's not going to happen. We don't know if it's going to happen again. After you tell your story, I'll tell you the only reason why I was not down there.

And you're going to laugh. Yeah. But go ahead. But fair. But, like, down there, like, I'm going to regret it if I don't go. It's a Tuesday. I'm like, we've been saying bucks and six for like six years. And we actually could do it in six in Milwaukee.

And in my head, I'm like, do you realize how many people are going to get fucking shot if we do this? Because it's been getting pretty bad down here. Big deal. And so we win. We celebrate. We go nuts. I mean, the bar is fucking loaded with people. And then we win and people just like clear out.

They want to go to like just storm wherever they storm. I was like, all right, happy. They need the people to go flip the train. Let's go help them. You know what the hop is? No. It's a train that does nothing. That's why I haven't been taught.

I have no idea. By the way, I didn't know what the hop was until someone sent me a link. Come on. I'm dead serious. It's a train that does nothing. It's the hop. Okay, the hop is what... I don't want to get into politics and all that.

I'm not really a Bucks fan. Milwaukee. I'll tell you right now, it's a train that no one fucking wanted. They spent all this goddamn money on it. Now I'm getting all heated about this fucking hop. That's all right. You should be. You should be.

No, I am. I'm pissed. You didn't play basketball, obviously. What did that hit, though? I don't know. You were really falling off. I mean, that literally, like, it bounced. No, that went in and then bounced.

What is happening? What's the noise? Are we getting abducted right now? It sounds like... Does it not sound like a beam just came down? Like, you three are my choice. E.T. is the one coming to the podcast. Fucking aliens are coming. And it was like, these three that are drinking at 9 o'clock in the morning?

Yeah, we would like them. Damn tornado come through. E.T. just walks underneath the garage door. But yeah, no, we're there and like half the people like cleared out and all of a sudden I get this text and like,

are you okay? Are you okay? What are you talking about? Like someone was shot. I go, no shit. Like you saw it. You saw it coming.

Like yeah, it fucks in six, in six, in Milwaukee. Someone got shot. I hope they shot him six times. Hey,

I guess, guess what? The sun's gonna rise tomorrow, too. And she goes, no, outside the bar. I go, what bar? The one you're at. I go, oh, shit. And then that one hit me. I was like,

are you guys okay? Because it was literally apparently outside the door. They die? You didn't even hear it? No. That's what you really know about it how so loud like yeah it's just loud down there but it's so loud literally the first thing i did was i called steven yeah and steven's like i thought you were with him yeah well we're in the same bar i'm not next to him let's be honest does steven want to hang out with me at

the bar no he's like get the fuck away ste me Stephen Berland saying on me Stephen he's he does what he wants that's what I love about him yeah he does what he wants so it's like if he doesn't want to be around you you're not going to be around him he's kind of like a cat yeah he he is he is he's a human cat and so I like I'm just like all right he's good I went and found him and I called Andrew and I'm like what you all right he goes and he did the same he goes what you talking about I go someone got shot outside the bar I'm at. He goes, well, I'm not at that bar. And he goes, so you're good? He goes, yeah.

I go, all right, have fun. Sounds good. I guess that's over, man. That's also bad that how numb we are to it lately. It's scary. The next week, my buddy was at a happy hour, walked down an alleyway to get to a different bar. 10 minutes later, someone got shot in that alleyway to get to a different bar. Ten minutes later,

someone got shot in that alleyway. And he goes, dude, that's fucking crazy. I don't know if you actually heard about it, but... Is that Milwaukee? Yeah. You actually... Were you a senior when I was a freshman?

Yeah. Okay. Do you remember Anthony? His real name was Anthony Greiger. We all called him Nino. He just... He just got shot In Franksville

In Franksville? In Franksville Three weeks What did he get shot with? A.22? Someone shooting like Four weeks ago Beer cans?

Four weeks ago He was coming He lived in Elkhorn Pulled up to a gas station He's pumping gas Guy wanted to steal his car Pulled up next to him Shot him

Dead No way Just went to his funeral like two weeks ago i just went to his funeral three weeks ago yeah so yeah you probably walked past that kid multiple times in the hallway dude that's ridiculous but it's like just like how you're saying like it's it's getting it's become a thing now. It's seriously getting bad. And like, obviously I don't mean to make a joke about it at first, but like, Jesus Christ. Like just pulling up. I mean, Steven's been held at gunpoint before.

I've been held at gunpoint by a cop. That's a different story. But like Steve, I mean, Steven, like, I think it was, and we got lucky with Steven, I think, because you, you, I think he was in high school or like right before you guys got to high school. And some guy just pulled up and I don't know who he's with, but just put a gun on him. And he'll. That's messed up. And they're like, what high school do you go to?

It's like, well, you said that. And let's be honest. It's like L.A. Las Vegas. You're like, you're like, there is it because you're having like, you know, like there's one wrong answer to this. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent a wrong answer're like, there is, because you're having like, you know, like, there's one wrong answer to this. Yeah. There's 100% a wrong answer to this. Oh, yeah, there is.

And I think he said Franklin, and he just, they drove off. I'm like, holy shit. Oh, my God. I'll be honest with you. I talked to Stephen and I never knew about this. Yeah. It could be Andrew, but it's one of them. It's one. I think it's Stephen. I. It could be Andrew, but it's one of them. It's one.

I think it's Steven. I don't think Andrew's been held at gunpoint yet. We'll see. I'll tell you what. We'll see. Are you saying like it's going to happen? Well, yeah. Let's be honest.

Andrew is like a little me, which is a problem. He is. He is. Is he here? Yeah, he's sleeping. He's not going to wake up. Are you kidding me? Is it?

This man? 10, 20? And he's sleeping. He's not going to wake up. What time is it? This man, 10, 20. And he's sleeping, you think? 100%. Are you kidding me? Dude, he'll come home from work, take a nap, and we're like, all right, we'll see you in the morning. He just, I don't sleep at all. I slept two and a half hours today. This man will sleep today more than I will in the next three days combined.

That's amazing. That's crazy. Good for him. At least someone's doing that. But then people wonder why I don't... I mean, I'm not from here. Where are you from? Tell the people. I'm from a little town called

Lambertine. It's a small town outside of Final Exit. Okay, I thought you were going to say some other state. But that's why I'm listening to you guys talk. I'm listening to what's going on. I'm not oblivious. I understand. I had two neighbors.

I understand this stuff is happening. Yeah. But at the same time, I'm not really a sports fan. I don't really watch sports. I don't watch the Bucs. I don't watch the Brewers. I'm going to bring this up to you just a bit. You're good.

You're good. No, you're good. You're good. You're good. I don't watch the Bucs. I don't watch the Brewers. I am oblivious to what's happening in the world now with people being held at gunpoint because it doesn't happen where I'm from.

I hear about it. Yeah. But it's just like, for me, it's kind of like just an out of it's not like a realistic experience for me to i gotta see that it's it's yeah when you're not used to it it's hard to imagine it it i mean it's crazy like i think i don't want to let's not get into the code thing but like it's kind of like it's like when you have no one around you that's gotten it you're like whatever yeah then you have someone who gets it and like kind of said you're like oh shit this is actually a fucking serious thing yeah like it takes like a personal experience for a lot of people to take things seriously yeah so like if

you never see the shootings or whatever like I still to this day like I didn't see the shooting outside the bar I didn't see the shooting outside the bar. I didn't hear it. I haven't seen someone get shot. I mean, the only time I've been held at gunpoint is because we got mistaken for ding-dong ditching. Oh, my goodness. Wow, they took that serious. Whoever did.

They brought the fucking dog and backup. Come on. Yeah. Get the canine unit. We got a ding-dong ditcher. We got a 246. We got a 246. Someone's disturbing the peace. But like it honestly does.

It takes a personal experience for you to be like, oh shit, this is real. And this is a problem. Right. Yeah. Because like, well, he hit it at home when that, when Nino got shot. All of a sudden I'm sitting there and I had to figure out through Facebook. Yeah. That sucks.

And I actually, the day before, seen it on the news. I'm looking at the news and I'm like, that sucks. And I actually, the day before, seen it on the news. I'm looking at the news and I'm like, holy shit. First thing I thought of was like, Franksville? Nothing happens in Franksville. Nothing. There's nothing in Franksville. There's nothing in Franksville. Is that around here? There's a couple houses, that's about it.

It's probably like 20 minutes south of here. Yeah, there's nothing out there. It's just farm field and woods. Really? And a sicko gas. There's nothing out there. It's just farm field and woods. Yeah. Really. And a sicko gas. There's a house every quarter mile. And a sicko gas.

It's not a busy town. Yeah. So it's like, I didn't think really much of it other than that. And then all of a sudden I phoned out, I clicked on it. And it had his profile pic on the news. And it said, you know,ony greiger age i think was 22 that's so fucking sad just got married dude like all that so like you're right when it it doesn't truly hit you until it happens to someone either you know family you know

yeah i mean any anything whether it's like shootings, cancer, COVID, I mean, overdoses. It's scary. And we got to get off this serious topic. This is getting sad. It is getting sad. Do you have tissues around here? But recently, one of my friends in Colorado, two of my friends, one of their good friends OD'd on cocaine. But trust me, I've done it.

I know all my friends have done it. You OD'd on cocaine? So here's the problem. You think when you get it from someone, this is just cocaine. This is going to give me a high for 20 minutes. Right. You think nothing of it. It's a 20-minute Adderall.

Everyone does it. Everyone does it. It's fine. It's cool. It's whatever. But that one was laced. And lately, the cocaine that's been circulating there, I guess, has been laced with fentanyl. And so, if you do a bunch of cocaine at night, like most people are like recreational users.

It's not so bad. No, because this kid died. He gets all serious again. But like people like do a bump and they're fine and they probably OK. But if you do like more than one and it's laced with fentanyl, you overdose on fentanyl real fucking quick. And I mean, it's laced with fentanyl, you overdose on fentanyl real fucking quick. And I mean, it's crazy. And then all of a sudden now, now you're like, okay,

that just, I can't view anyone that does drugs the same way right now. I mean, it's not like people are going to stop or shoot you. I mean, do whatever the fuck you want. I don't care. But it's crazy.

It's crazy. But, wow. Okay, we should probably get something. So ass or tits? But it's crazy. It's crazy. But, so. Wow. Okay, we should probably get something. So ass or tits? So you an ass man or a tits man? Let's actually ask them. No, I like ass. Oh, ass.

For sure. Ass. I'm sorry, ladies. If you have like a really nice pair of tits. I think. Sure, let's see them. Let's lose the women audience real quick. I think it's.

Never mind. I'm not going to say it I'm just not going to say it I think this topic is better off not discussed I want to go back actually to Jesus Christ don't you have my address your guys' business I want to know your ultimate

we just got done talking about drugs shootings bucks and six baby bang bang bang business. I want to know your ultimate... We just got done talking about drugs. Shooting. Bucks and six, baby. Bucks and six. Bang, bang, bang. That's where I got lost. I'm like, I don't know anything about sports. Yeah, let's go back to hunting. We'll go back to hunting. So, you guys

basically started over a hunting vest or a camo vest. Yeah, pretty much. It cost $70 70 and they're like hey we should we should film our hunts and the guy you met did film work right yeah what is i guess just because of the chase the ultimate goal of this like what kind of company do you want this to be like because in the title it says productions it kind of sounds like you guys want to be, like, when I grew up, my dad had, like, VHS tapes or DVDs of, like, I don't know if it was, like,

White Tails Unlimited or some shit like that. Yeah, right, yeah. Like, do you want that? Do you think that's, like, where you want to go? I think the idea behind Brothers Midwest Productions was always, like, when you hear of an outdoor group, it's always something outdoors. Or it's always so-and- it's never production so for us we wanted we wanted to get our name out there in in terms of producing a high quality production um and the production

side of it was literally just that just being hey we're gonna come out we're gonna produce the highest quality that we can we're gonna show our viewers but then we turned into a brand so we when we when we figured out the name we didn't have a logo we didn't have an idea behind a brand um but right now that's our biggest thing our biggest thing is our brand and that's why for myself and for the other guys who brought this idea to life we want guys like n to life, we want guys like Nate Clark. We want guys like Ethan Dorrell. These guys are insane deer hunters.

They're good at what they do. They're good behind the camera. They got a face for radio and a voice for camera. I'm just kidding. But, no, that's really the idea is to gather the best, most serious deer hunters in our area, in Wisconsin, To gather the best, most serious deer hunters in our area, in Wisconsin, create just an absolute powerhouse of guys who have 4K equipment,

who can film, and who are good at talking to the camera, have a brand to back that, and then just start producing on YouTube, and then maybe one day in the near future, we offer a service. We offer a production service, and that could be in our plan. I think you guys should offer that sooner than you think. I've had thoughts of it. I don't know what you think. Because, like, I think this is going to turn into, like, a company. Because, I mean, it could just be a YouTube channel right now.

But I think there's a ceiling to, and is my opinion too, just hunting stuff. I think you guys, you guys know what the fuck you're talking about. So when I say that, when I say that we live and breathe for whitetails, it's almost scary. It's almost scary. What are we doing?

I know. What are we doing after this? We're going to go fertilize a food, one of my food plots. And then what? And then go to the deer expo. So it's like, it is, it is a is a it's a live a breathe i mean i've lost relationships because of honey i've lost friends i've lost girlfriends i've lost i mean it seems so stupid and trust me people have even been like, how, why? It's a deer. It's a whitetail. And even I'm like, yeah, you're right.

But honestly, I am so obsessed with whitetail hunting. It's not even funny. If it's something you love, you're just weeding out people who aren't going to match with you then. Right. I would not worry at your guys' age about your fucking relationships right now. Well, and I think, um even get just circulating back to like what nate was saying it's something it's something where 99 of the deer hunters are people who are in the outdoors in the off season right we're out of fall it's the summertime it's the

winter it's the spring it's our off season right yeah for, we don't have that. We have 365 days a year, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. We are thinking, we're doing, we're breathing, sleeping, whatever, deer hunting. And that's what our passion is. That's what our obsession is. Even like right now, we're shooting our bulls or we're fertilizing food plots or planting food plots or figuring out next tree stand locations um you know it's hard for me too sometimes to converse with the the generalized deer hunter i don't know if this you can say the same but for me

talking to somebody who's just a deer hunter maybe just goes out for opening gun or just goes out for whatever i find myself being like it's, and I shouldn't say arrogant, but I almost find myself just, it's hard to communicate with the people who don't, I guess, talk on the same level as you do or don't research. That's with everything. There's levels to everything. There's the guy that does video games professionally.

And then there's like, I mean, I don't play video games, but like people like us, like I play it on Saturday. Right. Yeah. Like, right. It was like,

yeah, it's like, you don't, you don't understand like the intricacies. I'm like, you think you can talk about it. You can't. I mean,

it's not diminishing. It's not diminishing. I'm not saying that to be an asshole, but you are, you're a fucking dick, man. Get the fuck out of this. You're a fucking asshole.

No, I get what you're saying I'm not and like too that's why that's why I took my I took the guys that I call on an everyday basis and I'm a caller I call people

Nate knows this as well as anybody I do too I hate texting Jesus Christ I will just call you like in the middle of the day I mean I call all the BMP boys

I call Doro Matt Alex Sam like I call all these BMP boys. I call Daryl, Matt, Alex, Sam. Like, I call all these guys. Nate Clark gets a call from me probably twice a day just for mindless shit. And it doesn't mean anything, you know. It's what it is, isn't it? No, it's awesome. I love it.

I love it. No, I really do. I mean, dude, there's nothing wrong with that. You're passionate about something you want to do. I think you guys should take it one step further than just. So, like, when I said, like, you guys know what you're talking about. So, you know damn well when you guys go to these expos or when you go to, yeah, load it back up. I didn't know it was going to turn into that.

So, you know damn well when you go to these expos or you guys are hanging out, I know these conversations go you're like we could do this better they could do this better why not do it better so like i know you like want to wait to offer service you want to build your brand but building your brand might also be providing something that improves the hunting community right so like i mean it's true, though. Like, you know damn well you have ideas in the back of your head, and you could spit off probably for the next hour and a half how you think hunting could be better, how, I mean, like, Wisconsin in general could be better,

the tags, anything. Right. Yep. Absolutely. So I want to take, I guess, this time to give, and that's a great point that you make about, like, what can we do better? Why not now? Why don't we just do it?

Yeah. It's tough. It's easier said than done. And I want to give my buddy David Volt and the guys at Wild Wisconsin a shout-out, too. He's up in central Wisconsin. He's up by me. I met David a couple months after I met these guys. They're actually a couple months before.

But he was actually in Waterfall. He was a Waterfall guide service, and he actually got out of it. And because of his love and passion for hunting, it wasn't about money for him. He didn't want to make any more money off of it. He just wanted to give back to the community, give back to the hunting industry. So we actually teamed up this spring and um we did a memorial hunt for a gentleman uh who he thought really highly of who passed away we did a memorial hunt we brought a girl out turkey hunting 13 years old she shot her first turkey and for me like that

was super eye-opening to experience her first time behind a gun with her dad her dad was there we filmed everything yeah um and we captured the entire moment so for me that was really eye-opening and i think two is something we don't get together as much for bmp guys for the for the members i would like to get together more often to circulate ideas like that absolutely so we can get out more and just benefit the benefit the industry benefit benefit the community, the hunting industry. Let's get kids into hunting.

Let's get them off the couch, and let's get them out into the outdoors with their loved ones, with their friends. I'm a first-generation hunter. I was, you know, my grandpa hunted a little bit. My dad never hunted. But I got into a group of guys who hunted, and I just fell in love with it. Fell in love with it. Yeah, no, I got it from my dad.

I mean, my Stephen has it as well. Andrew, not at all. You put a gun in his hand, and he'd be like, where do I put it? And he'd just point it at his fucking face. Yeah, no, it's true, though. I think you guys could do very well with this and like benefit me like and and just teaching people that hunting isn't i think that's a misconception with hunting too is people like oh you're killing animals you have no respect for animals i think hunting

it bothers the shit out of all of us who hunt it's like i think it's almost the highest it sounds weird but like the highest respect for the animals like you are it is a part of life like people are like this is how by the way we're here because people before us killed fucking animals like every day exactly like to eat survive it's survive yeah and it's i don't know know, I think it's part of us. It's human nature. And like I said, when we talk about how you shoot a deer and you're like, instantly, we're shaking. You know what you just did. You know what you're well aware of.

You took a life. You took a life. A little part in the back of your head, you're like, I fucking feel terrible. But at the same time, I mean this is this is life this is well and two like there's a difference like for me i and i know cameron haynes says the same thing like even in every single one of his he prepares every single day of his life he runs a marathon every single day he shoots his bowl multiple times a day because he wants to give him he wants that man's got 27 hours in his day oh my god yeah it's yes well he was so good and he wants to give he wants

to give that animal he wants to give that animal the best chance against him and if he's gonna if he's gonna harvest that animal he wants to give it the most effort he can to make an ethical kill on that animal. Yeah. And if he doesn't, he's sick to his stomach. Yeah. No, you want it to be a challenge. That's also the fun of it. Like, I'm not a fan of the, like, oh, we're just going to go to. Hey, there's, like, 90 deer here. Just go and shoot into the woods.

Yeah. High fans. I ain't going anywhere. Deer farm. Yeah. I don't like that. I like it. I like the primitive nature of it.

Like it's you versus them. It's you versus the wild, yeah. I mean, the gun, like you have a gun, you're like, I'm already cheating a bit. But it's like, not everyone can pull a bow back. Right, right. Not everyone practices all the time. But you still prepare. Like, how many people do you know sit in the woods for six hours to have lunch

it's true i mean 100 of this room a lot of gun owners in wisconsin yeah yeah it's i mean it's great it's a it's respect i mean i think that's i think what i would want most out of like most hunting companies like right just teach me like hey we're not bad people no and we have to be i think that's something we have to work on is being more educational we need a better pr team for sure right i think that is too like something within brothers midwest that was our idea like our idea was to be as educational as motivational we want people we want to get people into hunting and we want people to look at us and we want to be the role model so we want people to see us and say gosh i want to be like i want to do it just like that i want to do it like that right we want to be a

positive impact we don't want to be looked down upon or we don't want to talk like we know everything because i'm learning every single day n Nate's learning every single day. I learn from Nate. Nate learns from me. We want to have that effect on people. That's great. Just like everyone else, we have a dream. We're just trying to make it come true. Hey, guys.

You're in my garage. Hopefully next time you're not in the garage. Right. By no means am I saying any of us know everything. We're never going to know everything. That's the best part. Do you know how boring life would be if we all knew what to do? Oh, God. any of us know everything. We're never going to know everything. And that's what the beauty, that's the best part. If you knew everything, you know how boring life would be

if we all knew what to do? Oh God. How boring it would be if we were like, I know what I'm doing today and I know how to do it. We'd all be in the parking lot paying for drinking.

It just, I would literally put a bullet through my ears. I'm like, I'm not fucking doing this. If I knew what was going on, I knew how to do it all the time. That's boring.

Right, right. The uncertainty and the ability to learn kind of makes life very fun. It really does. That's the best. Absolutely. I'm going to see what time we're at because I don't want to keep you guys too long, but at the same time, we're golden.

Good deal. No, man. I really appreciate you having us on. I never really realized. Is there anything, like, I mean, I've prompted a few things. Is there anything you, I think you touched on it, but on all of it, but, like, is there anything else you guys want to, like, bring up about the company? Anything you're working on?

Where can these people find us? Yeah, how about that? It sounds like the end of the episode. So they can find you here. Good night, everyone. No, we'll segue back. Thanks for tuning in they can find you here. Good night, everyone. We'll segue back. Thanks for tuning in on a Saturday. Good morning, everyone.

You keep backing up. I feel like Ron. I get scared of it. That's all right. Really? Because you just talked for like 20 minutes. I think you're get a little closer to the mic. You keep backing up. I feel like I get scared of it. That's all right. Really? Because you just talked for like 20 minutes. I think you're good. No.

We're going to find us. The best way to get connected to Brothers Midwest would be on Instagram, Brothers Midwest Productions. And then the other thing, too, is our biggest thing right now is our YouTube page. We've got, I think we just hit 200 subscribers. Yeah. We're not that big. Neither am I.

Like, each week, you could do a different topic. Didn't Matt just post about that in his basement? I think so. Like, he wants to start doing podcasts in his basement. Because his basement's sweet though. It is. Shout out to the. Matt and Jake.

Wachowiak. Wachowiak. Sorry. Yeah. Matt Wachowiak and Jake Wachowiak. I mean they just redid their basement. And it's sweet. It's like a whole trophy room.

Here's the thing. It's like you walked into a Cabela's. I will offer this to you right now. If you guys want to do it, while I'm still here. This is big. What's about to happen here? I will produce it for you if you want. You can have all the equipment for when you want to do it.

Come on. I know it. But you have to commit to actually doing it. This isn't a half-assed thing. We're doing it one week. You do it once a week. You talk about hunting. So you'll let us use the gear?

Fat chance. 100%. You can use all this. Also, I mean, I joked about it before. You know how I don't know how many I've... It's a good time to go pee. No, we're... Well, apparently we just lost...

I don't know how much, but... I think we just lost the business aspect of it, so... Fuck. Fuck. The business aspect. Like, hey, we'll promote all of our stuff. Yeah. I don't know what just happened.

Did I just touch it the wrong way? Probably. Are we still going right now? We're going now yeah Do you want to pee? You can go pee Can I pee? Yeah go pee

Yeah leave us Where do I pee? Do I go pee inside Or can I go outside? I would go Go out And then I think every episode

Someone pees Are you serious? Dead serious yeah Well when you got a case full of beer And then usually It's just me by myself I'm like To make up for it

I'll shotgun this beer When I come back Alright You're fine I'll have it primed up Just go out And then No it's just me by myself. To make up for it, I'll shotgun this beer when I come back. You're fine. I'll have it primed up. Just go out and then... No, you're not fine. You got a shotgun that way. I promise the people in the world slow a shotgun.

The trees over there, just go pee in them. Dude, what the fuck just happened? Did we just lose half the podcast? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We did not lose half the podcast. We lost maybe five minutes. Maybe, maybe. So for maybe five minutes. Maybe. Maybe.

So for... I don't know. I'm going to go pee. So we're still rolling. So when I listen to this back, I don't know where we're at, but... Because I don't know where we're at. What we decided is they're going to start a podcast. I sponsor them.

And then one day they will sponsor me. And then... I don't know. We're just going to be one big happy family. We'll make i don't know we're just gonna be one big happy family we'll make history yeah we're gonna do great we're gonna make history dude i'd love that i do i i love this logo i want to i hate that it's not keeping i was i know it's going now so we're good but um no i love the love i want so i gotta find it when I switched I loved our the first show I did we had a really fun logo and then

when Braxton was like I just can't do this anymore I was like fuck I need to put content out but I don't have the time to look for an episode I think that you should put the baby face

in your logo yeah I should but like I almost wanna do my do that face but me yeah just like that's it could be i don't know i think part of it's just going to be i don't want to do this stereotype well like it's my face right got a hat on right it's like fat shit but like part of it me part of me is like just do it like that's what works that's like the issue with like someone who's like like new and like,

I want this to mean something and saying it doesn't fucking matter. Right. Like, cause in three months I'm not going to give a flying fuck what it looks like. I just want it to look good on a t-shirt. Right. That's it. Well,

that's just it. Do you guys have like clothing or anything like that? So we're actually working right now on a couple of different designs. This is actually a mug and i was gonna leave that with you after drinking beers out of it dude this is i do i love this sweet i mean it's pretty it's pretty smooth for a for a logo it's real smooth it looks it looks uh it looks professional it looks like you guys been doing this for a while well and too like i said we fake it till you make it right that's what it is that's what life is yeah um but after after getting together with like this group of guys especially if you get a bunch of entrepreneurs

together and guys that want to get shit done and actually go forward and move stuff move something as a team there's no better group of guys guys than having a lumberjack like this on your team. What? But I actually, when I met Nate, Nate had gotten a hold of me and told me, he's like, hey, I shot a buck. Nate shot a really nice buck last year.

But anyways, he got me the footage. We're getting to the cocky hour. He got me the footage. Yeah, a couple more beers and he'll be just screaming. We're getting to the cocky hour. He got me the footage. Yeah, a couple more beers and he'll be just screaming. He's going to be shirtless. Yeah. Buzzing already. But anyways, he gave me the footage of a buck he shot last year with a bow.

Do you want me to open that for you? No, it's good. I mean, you're about to shot. Okay, good. You're going to bite it, yeah. Sorry. No, we're going to turn all of ours. Did you open it as you bite it?

No. I think you did. Ooh. Well, that'll look good on camera. So my computer's about to malfunction now. No, you're good, dude. You didn't hit it. It's okay. Don't apologize.

It's all right. I apparently already fucked up the audio. There hasn't been an episode where it's like, yeah, everything went smoothly. Are we good, though? Like, right now? Yeah, you're fine right now. Yeah, you're rolling. It says we now yeah you're fine right now yeah you're rolling it says we're rolling i don't see anything moving but it says we're rolling come on no we're good it just after i moved it it's not going to keep up it's like i don't i don't get computers like it it happened it is what it is put a little give a little we deleted six episodes to do this one i think we're good i think we have enough space to

do this i'm sorry keep going well i'm I think we have enough space to do this. I'm sorry. Keep going. What are you saying? I'm going to put you shotgunning this on our Instagram story. So, like, I promise the people of the world to slow a shotgun. I'm not very good at shotgunning. This is a cold game. I'm terrible at it.

I've said it so many times. I'm terrible at chugging. Yeah. Like, I will never try and, like. Well, I just don't want to do this. And then people are like, dude, that kid sucks. Who cares Like Matt Matt was like bragging about chugging

And like Matt chugged it super fast But he's like I did it like In like one second I'm like that one was four So like Yeah Don't worry about it

You're fine Alright Well Right on the podcast You know what doesn't help Is your lips are closed together like an asshole. We've got to open the throat and let it go. Dude, fuck, I'm better than that. No, my fucking eyes are watering.

Trying to suck it in. He's sucking on a nibble. Oh, come on. He crushes it like he actually just crushed the beer. Yeah, literally. Like it was just an absolute slinger of a... There you go. It's time for mine.

Oh, shoot. Where were we? Well, you've done all right here. I've only had two. As the head anchor. I've only had two. Well, it's also 9 o'clock. What time is it now?

It's almost 11. We're good. This is prime drinking hour. Yeah, we're all right. Are those all me? I'm going to have to get some lunch hay after this. I haven't had a damn thing this morning. I just want to make a meal.

I haven't either. You had the jet fuel from McDonald's. Yeah, this kid got me a coffee this morning. Tell him what you get. What's the secret sauce? I get a medium black coffee, four spun to sweeteners, and two creamers.

And it just... It's not a black coffee. No, I put you on the toilet. But it's not a white chick. But it's also not even close to a black coffee. No. But I call it jet fuel. It's jet fuel.

If you drink that, make sure you're by a bathroom in 10 minutes. So after you get that, take your five-hour energy, and you're going to pop that and put it inside there too. And you will be humming for the next three days. See, I went straight to black. I didn't drink coffee until my super senior semester of college, and I went straight to black. Really? I didn't like coffee, and then I was just like...

My roommate gave it to me. He had the French press and stuff. I'm like, this is nice. Oh, wow. But it was just black coffee. I'm like, it's cold outside. This is kind of nice. Did you have coffee this morning?

No, because I woke up this morning So you're not that big of a coffee drinker But No because Coffee is also Because I was in a rush Like the first thing You slept for two hours

Let's be honest Yeah I slept for two hours But I was like I'm gonna drink That'll wake me the fuck up This is my This is my drug Like this will wake me up

I was doing it I literally said like When I was upstairs Like I showered And I was setting stuff up And I went upstairs I'm like I'm so fucking Like I'm, this is a great fucking day.

I'm doing this. This is how much I love this. This wakes me up. Don't get me wrong. I'm going to have coffee right after this. This is cool. This is cool stuff. Yeah.

I mean, I'm having a blast. This is big. I'm so glad that you gave me the opportunity, Nate. Thank you. And me the opportunity. You guys are welcome on whenever you want. Come on here and do this, man. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers on the podcast.. Me the opportunity. You guys are welcome on whenever you want. I'm on here. Cheers, man.

Cheers. Cheers on the podcast. Hey, you're welcome on whenever you want. I love this episode because it's the first group of guys that aren't just someone I'm just shooting this shit with. You guys are doing something. That excites me and I know like a lot of people don't listen to the whole episode and stuff

like that but I think alright not that I'm rushing you out like we're gonna hang out after this but I'm gonna wrap this up a bit so we do this I do this for this season so we season two and I'm curious to see what you guys are going to say because

you guys are kind of doing what you want to do right now but how old are you both 24 23 23 when so you about to turn 25 or i just turned 24 like a week ago i just turned 23 in June. Perfect. So before you turn 24 and before you turn 25, what is something you have to do? Wow. That's a great question. Can you go first with that one? That excites me. How about you? That's awesome.

You both are part of this company that you're in love with. Wow. That's a really good question. But you have a year. You have a year. And like I say, I've clipped everyone's and they'll be together and I'm going to follow up

with all 16 people or 16 episodes, whether it's 16 or like 30 people. I don't know who's going to be on each episode. It's a great question. I'm going to follow up with you. You have a year.

What is something you want to do or feel like you have to do? If you need inspiration, I can give you what other people said. No, gosh, no, I don't need that. I'd say we'd like to hit 1,000 subscribers on YouTube. I think that's really a terrible goal for us. YouTube is our biggest platform for broadcasting what we've filmed. I'd say 1,000 subscribers would be a heck of a milestone for us.

And I think that's going to be feasible. We're holding on to a lot of footage right now that we're going to drop here pretty quick. And it's going to be buck kills. So I think 1,000 subscribers is attainable. And I think we might be able to do that once we drop that footage. We do have a lot of kills coming up but what's yours? you can't say the same thing

it doesn't have to be about your company it could be a personal thing like Matt McKenna said he wants to get tattoos he's like I want to actually get the ink I want to get tattoos too Matt McKenna has a great place been asking for. I want to get actually tattoos, too. Well, Matt McKenna has a great place. I just don't know what to get.

So if any of you have any ideas for tattoos for me of what would look good on me. It's going to be some hunting thing. I think we know that. A dragon. Just a fucking panther coming up in the air. Right out of your nipple. No. No, actually. I want tattoos, but I just don't know what to get but what what

do i oh my gosh that's a really 24 something you feel like you have to do man that is so tough i mean whether it be my number one obsession and passion in life, bee hunting, obviously, you know, we all want to shoot a big buck this year and get it on film. Gosh. But something that doesn't take chance. How about that? Yeah. Money, I guess.

You know what? No. Nope. It's spend more time with my family. There you go. It really is. True family, man. I don't, I am.

I'm a mama's boy. That's the first time I've ever admitted that to anybody. I'm a mama's boy. I really am. I want to spend more time with not only my mom, but family in general. I kind of branched off from my family for about four years. The past four years, I haven't really talked to anybody. That's a good one.

So family, it's just like my sister's pregnant, about to become an uncle, probably within the next three days. Congratulations. Thank you. So I'm super stoked about that. I'm an unofficial godfather. I just appointed myself that. I think that's what they call a daddy

But yeah No I'm a straight mama's boy Bob being an uncle And I just need to spend more time With my family My dad's the one Who got me into hunting And even him

I haven't been Really too much Spending time with I guess you could say So I guess Spend more time with my family. Good. I like that.

I think that's a good way to end it. We've laughed. We've talked about shootings. He cried. He cried. And hey, here's your company. Hey. Cheers.

Cheers, boys. I love what you're doing. Appreciate it, man. Thanks for coming on. This was fun. Thank you so much. It was a good time Hopefully we didn't lose too much

There's a good chance We lost five There's a good chance We lost 30 seconds And I just noticed it So who fucking knows I'm terrible at this shit So either way it worked out

Corey's calling you Alright Corey I'll answer your phone call now See you buddy Alright thanks boys That's awesome We really do appreciate it
