All right. Well, 006 Travis House and the books, another signature on the board. Yeah. Done. He was a firefighter. Check. Yeah. Real quick before we get started. What's up? The hat. We did a hat donation. We got 15 left. We are donating to coach Milky Inc, which is after Travis's best friend. And so Louis Mulkey was a coach,

a teacher and a firefighter who died in Charles to nine fire and very honorably. And so basically what this foundation does is, they give scholarships to underprivileged kids. And so we sold, we have 100 hats made, we're selling for $100. And we're donating all the proceeds to this charity and we have 15 left.

I think the proceeds will be right around $8,000. So if you haven't bought a hat yet, there's 15 left. I think the proceeds will be right around $8,000. So if you haven't bought a hat yet, there's 15 left. We're never gonna make them again. It's a firefighter slash Vigilance Elite Hat. Get it on the website. And for people that don't know, like there's no website that goes along with the foundation.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. You know, they don't. It's like a grassroots foundation type thing. Yeah, it's pretty cool. You know, they don't... It's like a grassroots foundation type thing. Yeah, they don't waste their fucking money on social media or web design or any of that. Everything goes, you know, to the kids. Direct. So, pretty awesome.

That's a great thing. But, Griffith seems pretty fired up about it. I know. I wonder if his snoring is picking up on the mic. Probably. Yeah. Anyways. But, uh, yeah.

So, first of all, though, it was filmed how many months ago now? It was a minute ago. It was a minute ago. So, just like our last debrief, we're still behind on this debrief. We're in a little behind. A little bit.

But he did get a farm. I know. You know, that's cool. He's been looking for a farm for, I think over a year and he's had deal after deal fall through. Yeah. And, you know, he watched our land video and bam.

Closed down a farm. So, set us a couple pictures last night right before we filmed this. That land video must bring good luck. Yeah. Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint, Hint get out. What we look for when we're buying land, go to the website and it's a dollar ninety nine. Yeah. That's it. I had so much fun filming that with you though babe. Like that was the fun one. That was a good time. And that property sold. I know. You sold it. Wow. You sold it to, you know. Yeah. Well, we can't say who we sold it to because they don't want to be named, but that's pretty cool.

Anyways, back to Travis. But yeah, Travis was a lot of fun. And the way that we found him, or he found us, was he contacted us. And luckily, his email really stood out to me. And I remember telling you about him downstairs, I think at the breakfast table, and I was getting choked up just telling you about the video that he had that goes along with his website. And yeah. Yeah.

Now I remember, you know, we get a lot of inquiries, you know, of people nominating themselves to be on the show. And usually that's an automatic dismissal. And I thought that was going to be too. I was like, wait, this guy's nominating himself. And then you showed me the video. And then we picked through the book and did a little research.

And we've been looking for a fighter fighter and it was like holy shit man This guy is like the perfect fit man. He was and Excuse me Man what a what a tearjerker. I know But what a cool fucking dude. He really is though and I just had so much fun having him here and and everything that he's crazy. Yeah Like you're saying quite the underachiever

So all you people out there that aren't doing shit what you're fucking excuse You know or if you can't make up your mind what you want to do just do it all Go for it. Be like Travis. Red line blue line. Do everything. Now he's a fucking farmer. But now cool, dude. And you know, PTSD from first responders and mill is just one of those things that I never, you know, I never thought that got enough attention. I never will. But, but man, now he's, you know, dedicating a huge portion of his life to help law enforcement, firefighters and vets and he fits every one of those communities and, you know, he wrote his book,

Creature and Light, Self-Published, Easy Read, But Good Read, read. And I'm not a reader. So, and I did read it. And yeah, I mean, hell of a dude doing great things, has been doing great things ever since he joined the Marine Corps and ever since. So what a stand up, dude. I know. But, um, so. And the one thing that I really like too is, um, that he sober. Yeah, I think that's really cool.

Did you guys talk about that? Yeah, we did. You want to share anything? Well, he didn't, um, go through like A A or the program or anything like that. So, um, he just decided one day, he was done with it. Well, it sounds like that's when everything started turning around for him. Big time.

So that's awesome. I know, it's really cool. But, but well, who do we got next? Well, hold on, one thing he did want to, well, one thing he kept kind of making fun about our house about was he kept calling it the content house. I don't know if he was making fun about it, but it was the content house

because we were posting all this stuff and tagging them all the time and having a lot of fun with it. But since then, you and I are off social media. We did. I forgot about that. Yeah. So we're no longer the company.

The ones have been for you. Sipped like late September. So do you miss it? Do I miss? Do I miss the gram? Yeah. And all the censorship and bullshit that comes with it? Yeah.

Hold on, let me think. Fuck no. Which is why we started making videos and put them on our website because it's censorship free. And I don't have to listen to a bunch of fucking assholes leave shitty comments under our stuff. Yeah. And we're a lot more productive without checking our phones and all that and Griffin agrees.

Griffin's up. Yeah, that will come up. Welcome. Welcome to the show, Griffey. He's like, I missed the groom. But well, yeah. Who do we got next? 007. 007, Ed Calderone, Mexican drug cartel expert. Yep. A real Maghiver. A real Maghiver. TSA's worst fucking nightmare. A smuggling expert.

Yep. These are pretty cool, too. Yeah. He is. That was neat. But I don't I don't even know what to expect from that episode. Well, I guess you'll have to wait and find out when we release it on Thanksgiving. You showed me the teaser and I'm teased. It looks good. Well, let's go take care of that. Yeah. Alright. See you later. Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Happy Thanksgiving. Do we have a ship, ton of turkey, and go to a fun coma?
