Starting point is 00:00:28 No, no. Two good things that don't need to be together. It's really three things. I like jello. I like gummy worms and I like hot dogs. You put them all together. That is horrible. That's the worst one yet.
Starting point is 00:00:40 There's too many textures going on. Yeah, there is way too much going on there. There's a gummy worm that really did me in and I think I'm going to puke. Has anyone ever left the studio mid show? No, you sit down. Nice things. Love you. Hey, you sit down.
Starting point is 00:00:51 No, come back. Welcome to Almost Athlete to A Wave Original Make sure to follow the show on all social media At Almost Athletes, like and subscribe to us on YouTube, or listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcast. We're your host. I'm Garrett. I'm Sparky.
Starting point is 00:01:21 I hope you guys had a great Fourth of July. We are actually on tour right now, as you can see from the set. Just got through the first couple legs. It's going fantastic. If you don't have tickets yet, make sure to get them today. www.dew. Dudeperfect.com slash tour. Come see us. Come hang out with us. It's going to be a fun rest of the summer. Sparks. What do we got today? Yeah, Gary, funny. You ask. We got to rodeo superstar. Self-proclaimed superstar. Dale Brisbane coming in to talk a little country. We're also fresh off celebrating America's 250th, so we'll dig into that. We didn't have a hot dog eating contest.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Instead, we came up with ideas to spice up your next summer barbecue by tasting some weird alternative. to ketchup and mustard that I still taste in my mouth. I'm not sure we found the alternative. So, without further ado, let's get into it. This is pre-tape from Tor. G and Spark, almost athletes. Let's do it now. Welcome back.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Happy to be joined by the tall man, Cody Jones, our foodie expert, which means, yes, we're about to jump into some food. A while back, we got a voicemail about soggy cereal, and we talked about potential milk alternatives for when you run out in the fridge. So we decided to try to find out what's the best milk alternative
Starting point is 00:02:34 you might have lying around the house, We tried things like orange juice, chocolate milk, apple cider vinegar, ranch dressing. Well, since now it's officially summer, we're going to try some alternative condiments for ketchup and mustard. Why? Who decided this? So if you run out of those, we've got a good idea. Yeah, it's hot dogs. It's weird toppings. It's Cody Jones.
Starting point is 00:02:52 It's just eat nasty stuff. Eat nasty stuff and let us laugh. There's going to be some that slap, and you're going to be like, dude, I had no idea. Like, I didn't know that orange juice and fruity pebbles are meant to go together. Did you know that? They are not. Yeah, that's what you say. I see, that's what,
Starting point is 00:03:08 so that's what really the game's about. It's really about finding the next topping. Okay, I would rather just go bear dog. Look, it could be Nutella on a hot dog. I don't know. It could be awesome. I don't know if that's one of the things. It could be like candy on a hot dog.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Okay. Yeah, I'm in. I feel like the world's going to thank us for this later. We're doing the hard work. We're doing the hard work for him. I just knew I should have been a DPO guy. I knew I should have been a DPO guy. Really?
Starting point is 00:03:36 We're like self-signing up for wheel spins in here sometimes. And people aren't acknowledging it. Well, DPO did do the snake box, which was a wheel, unfortunate punishment. Oh, yeah, that's true. Good point. All right. First up, let's just get right into it, dude, because there's no reason to wait. The audience wants to see it. Mayo.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Ranch. Ranch on a hot dog. You don't like ranch? I like ranch. I don't like ranch on my dog. This feels like an easier one, though. I actually think this might slap. All dressing on a dog?
Starting point is 00:04:04 I actually think this might be really good. Now, it depends on the ranch dressing. This is some of that garlicy ranch dressing stuff. This just needs to be Hidden Valley. Ooh, Hidden Valley. Ranch dressing. Where'd we go? Where'd we get to ranch?
Starting point is 00:04:15 It's Hidden Valley. Non-spawn. Okay, cool. Hidden Valley, look. I don't know if that helps me some ranch. I kind of rather to be. Whoa. You don't have a loaties.
Starting point is 00:04:24 A swimming pool of ranch. Oh, it's a little hot dog with your ranch. Susie. Just for the future condiments, I think one dog and we just cut the dog. We're just saving. dogs at this point. Yeah, dude. You know, you don't want to waste... Why is nobody worried about saving my life?
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yeah. This could be the end of me. Also, I hope people know Heimlich in this because... Dude, dude. Oh, what? What happened to my dog? Optically? Bad. I don't like the optical look either sparks. I will say, but I'm gonna go right into it. Oh! It looks like mayonnaise. I wish it was.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Also, your bread to wean ratio has to be right. We're getting a lot of bread here. This has, I have a lot of thoughts. I have a lot of thoughts. This does not work. This does not work. Thankfully, you can really taste that grittiness of the dog in that because the ranch dressing almost made a gag reflex come out there for a second.
Starting point is 00:05:23 See, I think based on the table that I saw of stuff, this is going to be our number one spot, like by far. No way. It's already just a topping. So you've just added to it. A gummy worm. That is unfortunate to hear because that was horrible. I know. It's not good, but it's better than what's coming.
Starting point is 00:05:39 It's a lead off walk. It's not good. And optically, like you said, makes your mind even think it's worse. See, I liked it. I didn't like it. I could do it. No, it's nothing like mustard or a... You're weird and you liked it. It's okay. Say it. Kids, kids, moms, dads, I'd go no ranch on the dog. I'm actually... It's like a lead off walk. It's better than giving up a lead off home run.
Starting point is 00:06:02 But yeah, not great. What would you guys give the ranch at a 10? A one It was gross 7 out of 10 for the ranch 7 out of 10 you're a psycho Like I'm mostly a ranch guy on like pizza Are you
Starting point is 00:06:18 I'm ranch on French fries Okay so you're a big ranch guy Yeah Salad Four for me on the ranch Yeah one's probably a little too harsh I'd probably go three Probably three
Starting point is 00:06:29 And I'm probably a little too Positive it's probably more like a 5 Okay That makes more sense How many do we have? I don't know. I would pace yourself. Okay, I'm just going to say it's my number one.
Starting point is 00:06:42 It's also last because we've only done one. But I like it. The ranch dressing? I think ranch will be the best one at the end of the day. Next up, I disagree with you. Next up, we have. You think Hershey's syrup can be better? We have certain.
Starting point is 00:06:53 No, this isn't Hershey's. This is just syrup. This is maple syrup, right? I can get behind this. This is just, this is maple syrup, like a breakfast hot dog. A dessert dog. And I got to say, I hope this hits because I am in dire, need of a new breakfast item for my kids. I'm running out. Dude, I used to do the
Starting point is 00:07:10 the sausage that's wrapped in the pancake that you dip in the syrup, so that's what I'm gonna think here. It's McGrittle. This could be the next light on the syrup there, Sews. Ooh, a little drizzle. See, this is like a McGrittle. I can do this. Yeah, yeah, I think this one we should we should savor this one I think it's gonna be the best. This one's the best. Could we and then also, could we just get rid of the ranch dogs? They just, the look visually is just not good. No, he's right. It just keeps opening up.
Starting point is 00:07:38 This is great. This is fantastic. I have a feeling this is going to work. This is going to play. Oh, that's nice. That's like a... Is that not like breakfast sausage? It's different. It's not a breakfast sausage.
Starting point is 00:07:52 No, it's not a B sauce. I'm going to give that a six and a half out of ten. Yeah. That, it makes the bread sweet. That's first place for me. You got sweet and savory. That's a nine spot. for Spark.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Well, I can get behind that. Nine spot is like a dog out in Gunner, Texas, dude. To be fair, it's better than some of the dogs I've had fed to me. I did like the maple, but not a nine. Jeez. Remember, a 10 is the best you can get. That's your ketchup, your mustard, your relishes. See, I thought those were off on a different ratings.
Starting point is 00:08:27 No, that's a skate. That's a 1 through 10, brother. A 7 instead of a 9. There we go. I'm going to keep my 9. I'm going to keep my 9. That resonating with me. We're moving up into a little bit heavier protein.
Starting point is 00:08:39 We're going to go peanut butter on a hot dog. In jelly. In jelly, dude. Oh, PB&J. PB and. Oh, what kind of jelly? Grape, strawberry? I believe it's grape.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Not made with grapes, though. Yeah, I don't know if this is going to pair well. Strawberry would have paired better. Make sure the camera can see the goodness. Yeah, I mean, you guys see that. That's... I actually think that this one should be okay. It smells delicious.
Starting point is 00:09:03 It is my favorite type of peanut butter. here we go oh that's unbelievable I took my hot dog out I made a Pee and J it's so good do put the hot dog back in
Starting point is 00:09:17 because that is we might have just found something boys I can't do it I don't like the meat with it I went in for a second bite I personally love that I'm giving that an 8 wow that was fantastic
Starting point is 00:09:30 I'm a big PB and J guy I do love dogs I am too like Uncrustibles are my that's love language yeah that's my love language I speak back. Hey, uncrustables, look, if you start putting hot dogs and your uncrustables, just give us a little bit of a kick back here.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Just a little bit. Or a heads up. Before you buy it. Before you buy it. Cody wants a heads up. I would like some profit share. I'm going to give it a six. Yeah, I'm actually going to follow suit there.
Starting point is 00:09:55 It's also a six for me because the meat really disturbs things there. Fun fact about PB and Js, do you know in Panama on deep sea fishing too when I got sick? I ate like four PB&Js a day for four straight days because all they had was seafood. I think Michael from Guinness should have been there. I had like 16 PB&Js over the course of three days. Tough trip for me. Not going to lie, guys.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Something's not sitting well. Yeah, it's probably the dog with peanut butter and jelly on it. Up next, Nutella and marshmallow flush. Gosh, I love. The fluffer dog. Ooh, I'm interested. The fluffer doggar. Sounds like one of the ones at your house.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Didn't you name one fluffer dog? No, I don't have a fluffer dog. I don't have a fluffer dog. Yeah, Susie, what would you rank these? You're eating these as well, right? No, because I don't even eat hot dogs, so... You know what's crazy? She's the waitress who's not taking our orders.
Starting point is 00:10:44 This is insane. Thank you, Sue. Yep. Cindy Lou Who? Oh, dude. Yum. Oh, gosh, why does it look like this? This cannot be FDA approved.
Starting point is 00:10:56 You know what? They approve quite a bit. Nowadays actually, yeah, they'd probably recommend that. Oh, this is going to be tough. Let me know, guys. Did they actually come out? and say that the whole like food pyramid was a myth? Yeah, turn it upside down.
Starting point is 00:11:08 No way, I need eight daily servings of grains. I always thought that was weird. At an early age, I was like, this is not adding up. I think that's a lot of grains. Oh, man, I'm dreading this one. Nutella and... Oh, it's so... It's so unique.
Starting point is 00:11:25 It's so unique, dude. It's like not... When you get to bite a hot dog, you're like, oh, that's fine. But then when you get the sweet and fluffy with it, you're like, oh, that's... See, man, one the other way. The dessert first and I ended with the hot dog. Oh, that's bad. Like, ruins it.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It's why I had that, I had that savory right off the graph and then it was sweetness that followed. That ain't it. That's a five for me. I'm going to go four. I didn't like, I actually just think the marshmallow fluff would have been fine, but the chocolate with it was... This is where my palate is getting invaded on. How many more we got left? Just curious. Like four more.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Oh, my God. You said six. That's like me eating seven dogs. It looks cough drops? Gummy words. Okay, I'm about to say, we're doing cough drops on a dog. I love all's cough drops. Sometimes those are just as good as jelly.
Starting point is 00:12:14 The Nutella fluff combo? That's an eight for me, believe it or not. The fluffer dog. The fluffer doggard, dude. It's not bad. It had a smores vibe to it, but the dog just invited itself to the sleepover. Wait, wait, I thought we're going,
Starting point is 00:12:31 what are you doing? I'm putting my number down. Oh, jello and gummy worms? Now you're just getting crazy. Dude. The jiggly dog. The jiggly dog is not going to make my stomach jiggle. I'm going to go up.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I'm going to roll up. I'm saying. Do you guys need a trash can? I'm not almost Nick D. Giovanni. I never claimed that. Also, this dog looks undercooked. Why do you just bring me in for the weird stuff? The dog, you can't undercook a dog.
Starting point is 00:13:01 We have a staff meeting today, and I'm going to spend it. It's like eyeballs from the cow, dude. Oh, he doesn't like it. He doesn't like it. It's fine, and then you get the hot dog, and you're just like... I don't want to bite it. Oh, that's so weird. The jello did not add.
Starting point is 00:13:24 No. No. It's like wearing a raincoat to the public pool. What are you doing? I'm going to go three. No. No. So, two good things that don't need to be together.
Starting point is 00:13:33 It's really three things. I like jello. I like gummy worms, and I like hot dogs. You put them all to. That is horrible. That's the worst one yet. Yeah, I put a three down. Two and it's lucky to be a two. There's too many textures going on. Yeah, there is way too much going on there. There's the gummy worm that really did me in and I think I'm gonna puke. And dude, there's different temperatures like the hot dogs hot, the gummy worms are cold. Bread's lukewarm. Oh, I'm pretty warm. Oh, I'm pretty good. Oh, I'm gonna cook. Do you can see it's how pink that is? Yeah, so it's gonna'clock. Oh, we can see it's gonna'clock. We're in it together boys. Only three more. You might have to bleep out what I say. It's not bad. My only saving grace is you got a sour melon blast ready to rumble. I don't even have an S-melon blast next to me.
Starting point is 00:14:16 So there's only three left guys. Cool. Oh, cool. Thank you. How many of you done? Zero? Cool, dude. Wow, you're so generous, Jared. So, I got a good segment, I guess. Oh, it looks like the dog's bleeding too.
Starting point is 00:14:28 You got to get that away from me, dude. This one's called the Hot Dog Split. Sunday with ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, cherry on top. Oh, I'm glad that there's cherry on top. I hate cherries too, dude. I hate them. Really? Oh, I hate cherries.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Oh, yeah, you don't like cherries. You can take the cherry off yours. I hate pickles and cherries, man. Don't ask you. That's why. That's weird. Look at this. Isn't it cute?
Starting point is 00:14:55 I mean, I guess. I wanted to just attack the ice cream, but you really can't get around the... I can't, dude. I'm going to puke. I think I'm going to puke. I'm going to avoid the chair. This is one of the better ice creams. Why does Ty get to do all the good ones?
Starting point is 00:15:07 Like... It's so weird. It's hot and cold. It's like a hot brownie, but it's not a hot dog. It's like a... Skillet. Molin, love a cake. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:15:22 At the ballpark. No, you know, we're like taking pills and you've got to swallow them, you know, like an antibiotic and you're at... That's where I had to go. You're taking a healthy bite out of that. Well, I'm not... I'm here to play. That might be worse than the jiggly doggar
Starting point is 00:15:38 or whatever that was. The jing... Oh, go one. Couldn't get worse. I keep saying they're worst, the worst. Oh, my gosh. You're right, dude. You were right on the ranch.
Starting point is 00:15:50 The ranch might have been the best. Yeah, because it was a topping. Yeah, negative three, though, not three. Negative three on that one. That was so bad. My stomach hurts. All right, last one. Yeah, at this point, I'm just like, hey, let's rip it.
Starting point is 00:16:02 It's not as bad. The butt dog? Is that what this one's called? Oh, butterscotch pudding. No, no, no, no. We're doing cranberry. I'm gonna skip this one. Has they ever left the studio mid-show?
Starting point is 00:16:17 I've tried. I don't mind being the first. I've tried. They keep pulling me back. They say they're not going to keep filming. I love you. I'm proud of you. Thanks for having me.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I'm gonna start a union. No. High five. Good to see you, buddy. Hey, thanks for having me again. No, dude. I love you. No.
Starting point is 00:16:30 The last dog. Guys, comment below. No, you sit down. It stinks. Love you. Hey, you sit down. I'm going to take this tub of ice cream, too. No, come back.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Cranberry sauce, guys. We lost Cody. Why does this dog look? Why does this dog look like this? The cranberry industry should have been dead and gone by now. Nobody's doing... Look at what's this? Well, it's tart.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Well, it's tart. T's and peas. T's and peas. Thoughts and prayers. The tartness from that sauce. It's not as bad as the other ones. I'm going to give that a four. The tartness really... Really plays nicely.
Starting point is 00:17:15 with the savouriness of the dog. I just don't like the way my dog look there. It's a little burned or something. Ew. Oh. I didn't like that at all. It's not as bad as the Sunday, dude. That's just as bad, if not more.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Zero. Zero. Let's recap this. Number one, I'm just mad at Sparky for picking this. You're the show creator, right? No, that wasn't me. That's our... I'll talk to Jared over there.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Why can't we do something that? Just leave. No, I had to pee. I'm sorry. I will say. Uh-oh. Crandi? I don't love.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Can we just do something where we're actually trying to find something like legit? Oh, my stomach is rumbling. I can barely even get through this. Is this the last segment? That's a zero. I think it's the last segment ever, Garrett. It's a zero. I think we come back from this.
Starting point is 00:18:09 I think I died. This is where just you don't mess up a good thing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Well, next week we're going to test dog food, not we, just Jared. And we'll see what goes well in that, ranch dressing and dog food and stuff like that. So that was nasty, man. That's not the proper way to get into Fourth of July, ma'am. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:18:27 It's a disgrace. The American in me is just so mad. So you're really just ranting about the fact that you want to celebrate the fourth in a proper way. It is my favorite holiday. I have said that many times before. Yeah, over Christmas, over Easter, over Halloween. I actually like it, too. Mine's 4th of July because they actually, if you didn't know, they named the sparkler after me, my family.
Starting point is 00:18:47 They did, dude. They did. So when you light up the sparklers, think of sparky. Yeah, my great-grandfather, invented it, ma'am. That's sick, dude. Good dude. Really good, dude. I did have a family member.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Didn't even know. Didn't even know. They emailed me, said we're related. Had a fact check it. Turns out, second cousin. What do you call it? What's the website that people are using? 23 and me, but I think they went bankrupt for the
Starting point is 00:19:14 for telling the twins that they're the founding fathers of America or something. Yeah, they were lied to you. Hey, that was where I knew. These guys are making this up. I think it was like the twins were related to Thomas Jefferson or something. For real. Yeah, that's pretty cool. We did it for a TV show.
Starting point is 00:19:31 You remember this, Jared? We did, and it turns out that the whole story was a tall tale. Yeah. That was a tough one. They had to travel all the way to London. I know, that's what I'm saying. We had to travel. All's why these companies are fake, dude.
Starting point is 00:19:41 We traveled all the way to the, to London because the cottons thought they were related to royalty, but it turns out they're just pure American cotton. Wow. On those webmds or whatever, it's called, you know what I'm talking about. My webmd, I'm going to do some webm d after this. I'm like sweating. Yeah, dude. That cranberry sauce is caught right there, man.
Starting point is 00:20:00 How am I supposed to show up to staff meeting after this? I'm flustered.

Starting point is 00:23:15 Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. Like a ribbon. Yeah, the profiliping guy. Yeah. It's a big ribbon. You look like a ribbon guy. Were you proud of Tyler as well? I was. Yes. I don't want to say I was a prize, because, I mean, I mean, all you guys are athletic. I've seen that. But it's wild how many people just think they can ride a bowl. Like in the comments, if we ask people to comment below, like, how many y'all think you could ride a bowl? An obnoxious amount of people think they can ride a bowl. Why do you think that is? It just looks easier than it is.
Starting point is 00:23:44 I've never thought bull riding looked easy. That's great. I think golf looks easy when you watch it. But bull riding? Dude, people think it's... You got to have balance. That's a factor. Yeah, that's a factor.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Yeah, and it's if they've done anything athletic, if somebody's like... No, it doesn't matter. Like, Ocho Cinco, did y'all see that? He got on a bowl? Like, dude, he represents a large part of the population, I think. Yeah. But I say that to say,
Starting point is 00:24:10 every now and then somebody actually will be really good at it from the beginning. I think Tyler's one of those people. Yeah. Just destined for greatness, huh? Yeah. I grew up going and working calves
Starting point is 00:24:21 out in West Texas, and you'll take somebody that thinks that they're all about it, and then they go in there with a little 200-pound calf, and it's getting drug to them, and it's time to go in there and grab the tail, grab the rope,
Starting point is 00:24:35 and grown men that are timid going in there to go grab a tail, and then they think, oh yeah, I can get on the back of a bull. It's another level. It's another level. It's a long fall too, man. Yeah, it's not comfortable. You're not going to overpower the bull.
Starting point is 00:24:50 You're not going to, you know, you're not stronger than the bull. So it comes down to like this counterintuitive thing of like, I got to go to the front, even though that's where the horns are. And like it's counterintuitive anyhow. When a man can do that, like you did, fear sets in, and your intuition is to run to the fence. But you have to literally run the other way. And I feel like at some point every man should experience something like that.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Maybe not on a bull. Yeah, I don't disagree with that. Yeah, they're just, there's so much power. Yeah, it's wild. Great respect for them after encounter. I already had great respect for them, but man, this thing's got a mind of their own. But at the same time. When did the respect happen, you're having the sirloin or something?
Starting point is 00:25:28 No, when I got poked. I didn't know. When you were? Got poked in the be hind. Oh, we don't, oh, I was going to say we don't call it getting poked, but. What do you call it? What do you call it? I want to be a cowboy?
Starting point is 00:25:39 I mean, getting hooked. Getting hooked, that's what I said. That sounds cool. You don't want to use the term poked. Nobody's worried about getting poked. But when you get hooked, right. What you didn't see on camera is I didn't sit straight for about two weeks. He got me left cheek really good.
Starting point is 00:25:55 See, I thought you meant like you got hooked in one particular spot, which does sometimes happen. It was close. It was not good. Dangerously close. Like, yeah, that'll like, that's a whole different doctor visit. I had to be careful wiping. You got to see a different doctor, actually. It's a whole different doctor
Starting point is 00:26:10 That's a whole different doctor Yeah I'm gonna stick here in this room Do you still have your You still have your interns Oh yeah 10 of them You pay them? Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:21 If the checks go through Not much Not much but they do get paid We just we continue to call them interns So it kind of advertises to the world I've got this revolving door Of a position I like that mentality
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah but see he puts his interns Through Cowboy poker See I think our interns need to start They gotta go through the gontlet. That's where I was headed with this. I mean, Jackson and IG started doing it with having to redo the top 10 wheel unfortunate punishments. Like you got to prove to us that you're willing to go through it a little bit to be here. I think we might start sending them over to Dale. Yeah, just like a week train. Just a week long intern training. Dude, that is so fantastic.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah, interns on loan. And we just see who wants it. Like you want to be here, prove it. Yeah, prove that you're a company man is what we call it. Yeah. That's a company man. I don't think I'd pass. I think I'd be kicked out. Yeah. Yeah, the bull poker, stuff like that, like you don't have to do things like that, but I do angle for the kind of intern that has that in their DNA. Yeah, you want a little bit of that. A little bit of that, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Little hot shot sword fighting. I'm just not seeing it, man. Are you sponsored by Shady Ray's like we are? Oh, y'all are too. Yeah. Yeah, we are? I saw the nice Shady Razza. Could I get some?
Starting point is 00:27:30 I like some of those shades. That's cool. Yeah, dude, it's a podcast deal. Oh, yeah. Outdoors doesn't get to participate in that? You know they have over 300,000 five-star reviews? Is this an average? No, that was on purpose.
Starting point is 00:27:46 I don't know if you're aware of their protection program. No, I just saw this. Yeah. But, you know, their protection program is phenomenal. It's great for cowboys. Golly. I'd love to get me a pair. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Awesome. Maybe if you have enough visits on the podcast. Now that you've been on both. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah, maybe we can get you. We'll start noticing me, maybe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Take me back to the beginning. How did one? get interested. How did your love affair for that kind of lifestyle grow about? And then how did you go full-fledged into it? Well, the Bull Riders specifically part was when I invented Riding Bulls with one hand. Yeah. So I used to it.
Starting point is 00:28:21 It was two hands on there. You changed the game. That's a little too easy. Like, what are we doing? Yeah. I was like, you don't want a lot. Yeah. This was supposed to be hard.
Starting point is 00:28:28 And I also didn't realize why the, you know, whistle was like, oh, only eight seconds. And so that I just, I kept that. but I actually just gifted my bull rope to Tyler earlier as a gift on my podcast, so I don't know what I'm going to do about getting on bulls. But I started the video side of what I was doing like 2013. So we went to A&M same time as y'all. And then I think we had vastly different experience today. We were in different buildings.
Starting point is 00:29:01 We did. I was what most people at A&M would call it 2% or. Because you had to leave the game early to make it to the rodeo. Well, Ty would skip the game completely to go hunting every Saturday. I may be a 1% or Dale, to be honest. Yeah, Ty wouldn't even show up to the game. He's like, dude, it's fall. I'd hunt during the fall.
Starting point is 00:29:20 I didn't go to a lot because they're on Saturdays, and that's when rodeos. So, yeah, but yeah, just, and then the first video come out July 1st, 2013. And I have not caught you all since. Y'all got 64 million subs and I have almost 800,000. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:44 So. Not too shabby? But hey, you know, like, I mean, my goal was, I'm grateful. I'm grateful for every view because my goal was to pay the bills. And I have. So, yeah. What was y'all's goal? We didn't have a goal.
Starting point is 00:29:58 We were just there to have fun, compete with each other. Actually, our only goal was we, when we put out the video, we were like, it'd be cool to get a YouTube video with a million views. that was really the only goal that we had which was a bunch 17 years ago yeah oh that was insane no yeah we didn't really think it was attainable
Starting point is 00:30:15 but that was the only goal that we had when we first posted the video but going back to 2013 are we we're riding bulls yeah I was full-time rodeo on your full-time rodeo in yep so I was riding bulls I think probably my biggest passion in the arena I did fight bulls
Starting point is 00:30:35 I had my PRCA card for nine years. I did a little too much in the arena looking back, but the thing I'm most passionate about was bronch riding, the saddle bronch. The saddle and a buck and horse, and I'll still get on those. I got on one, three at the practice pan a month ago, and still go to rodeos for that occasionally.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Why do people want to do that? It's just kind of like putting yourself through like a car wreck every time I watch that. So you might be thinking of the bareback riding with the rigging handle, and that's like super, but there's another. Bucking horse event that's a saddle
Starting point is 00:31:07 and it's a little more fluid looking the bareback riders if you were going to fight a rodeo contestant don't pick a bearback rider that's the last put him on the bottom of the list who do you want to fight at a rodeo I mean first it's going to be caffrobers the concession stand ropers
Starting point is 00:31:22 concession stand ropers would be concession stand workers are after like timed events okay you know no offense the team rope no I'm just kidding but whoever is wherever put the bearback riders last. They're that crazy. Yeah. But I loved fighting bulls. I loved riding bulls, but there's nothing I love more than bronch riding. Okay. It's kind of the thing, but do you ever feel resentment from
Starting point is 00:31:47 the rodeo crowd in terms of like you capturing content? Because I feel like the rodeo crowd is, you know, their blue collar, they kind of do their thing. A little late to the tech game. A little late to the tech game. Do you ever find it like, have, look at this guy with his camera walking around? Definitely that way a few years ago. I could sense that. But here lately, you could sense hostility towards me. You're into that crowd. He's so into it.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Okay, I knew the answer to that question. But here lately, there's so many vlogs, vloggers, podcasts, like short form. It's very competitive right now, which I'm okay with. Is that a good thing? All ships rise in a high tide, you know? I mean, for the industry, it's a great thing. Yeah, the more eyes on rodeo, the better. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Yeah, it's a good thing. I mean, I mean, it causes me to like stay sharp, which is a good thing, you know, and I'm sure you guys experience it a little bit. Like, y'all are on a whole other level, but. Crazyest bull riding experience you've had to have a moment where it's like, yep, it's over. This is the end near life or near death experience at all? Man, I went to Arizona a couple weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:32:56 It's not bull riding, the bull later anyway. It's a long story, and I'll make it give you the cliff note. It's very, yes, very fresh, but like went out to Arizona with Der Brigay, try to catch these Maverick Bulls, caught one, you got to lead them out. And I'm on this horse of mine that I thought would do it. Turns out he wouldn't trying to lead uphill this bull, wild bull, never seen a human. And my horse kind of gives up. Same time this horse, this bull runs downhill backwards.
Starting point is 00:33:27 So it flips over and the horse lands on the, my right side I'm on my back I mean the biggest horse I have lands right here the bull is right here the rope goes behind me and tied off to the saddle horn and then the the horse rolls over on top of me like couldn't put more weight on me and and then gets up and they go that way my foot hangs to the rope it was a it was a wreck to hear Derek Begay tell it like worst wreck he had ever seen and uh I just new going over. I was like, God is going to take care of me somehow. Like, he's going to carve out. And sure enough, there's this little pocket. There's a cactus in it, so that hurt. But I landed in this pocket. Just a little thorn in your side. With cactus and the cactus, thankfully, was the,
Starting point is 00:34:16 well, I did partially tear my MCL. But other than that, like, I'm alive, you know? And so, like, that just happened. And we caught it on film. And those bulls went through the sale barn in Arizona. And I bought them and they're at my house now. And we're going to buck them. So that was kind of the coolest story slash. We live vastly different lives. Yeah. What did you do two weeks ago? I said, what about you, man?
Starting point is 00:34:40 I don't know, man. I swam in my swimming pool. But I wanted to do that. I wanted to be there. That was one of those trips. Like, you can't just go out there for the views. Like, I thoroughly wanted, because I'd gotten a Snapchat years ago of Derek Begay
Starting point is 00:34:55 on this reservation, 300,000 acres. And then he's Snapchating the horizon. and you can see his horse ears, and he pans down, and there's a bull with its horns cut off that he's leading out. And I just immediately was like, one day I'm going to do that. And I got butterflies, and I just get to also film it. Kind of like you get.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Like, you guys are doing stuff you enjoy, and you get to film it. Cowboys are a different breed. They also have great names. What's some of the best cowboy names you've ever heard of? I mean, there's always, there's the one, you know, Latigo, and, you know, like guys like Rawson or Riggin. How about Rocky Wisdom? That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:35:32 That sounds like more like a hunting name. No, it was a West Texas cowboy. Really? Yeah. There's a guy that goes with us to Arizona. His name is whip pop Peterson. Whip Pop Peterson is sick. Dude,
Starting point is 00:35:45 some creative player names is just, you gotta file some of those away. That sounds like an 1880s baseball player. Yeah, who's the greatest bull rider of all time? Dale Brisbane. Who's second greatest? Going right now,
Starting point is 00:35:57 I mean, I would put, you know, J.B. is in the combo. Like, I mean, he's not going right now. That's, I think right now it's going to be closer to either John Crember or Stetson-Rite. But, yeah, J.B., I don't know, he's just got the, they call him the Dragon Slayer for a reason, you know. He just, he wants the rancest bull. And it's that mindset.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Like, whenever you got hung up and you walked, you didn't like, oh, my gosh, I'm glad I'm okay. Like, your own safety wasn't even in your head. It was, I got to get that bull back again. and like that was like guys that have that I think is that's why people because there's people that have more world titles than J.B. He's the two-time PBR world champ. He'd been to the PBR world finals 15 times in a row. There's there's other people even with more PBR world titles but like his mentality like that is what people. Dragon Slayer may be one of the coolest nicknames I've ever heard. Yeah, yeah. You guys could call me that just if you want every once in a while.
Starting point is 00:36:56 I'll get the dragon slayer. I'll get the dragon slayer. Tyler, the dragon slayer, Tony. Yeah. Yeah. It's a sick name. It does. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:03 So when you hop on a Bronco, is that just to test yourself? We just call them Bronx. Yeah. Bronx? Yeah. So when you hop on a Bronco. You're going to have to take off your cowboy hat. I know.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Keep saying poke and Bronco. It's like coming off. When you hop on a Bronc, is that like proving it to yourself? Is that for the love of the game? At this point in your career. Yeah. You're doing well with the videos. It's just like reminding yourself that you can do it.
Starting point is 00:37:24 And, there's so many moments like that that we've not filmed. You know, like I said on the last podcast, like, accusing us of doing things for the views is like the most offensive comment that I get, you know, because like when I get down in the shoot,
Starting point is 00:37:41 especially with like the history of my dad, my dad died, he was a rodeo cowboy, he died in the rodeo arena. And like, so when I smell like freshly tilled up rodeo arena dirt, it's got this smell to it, especially in a coliseum, it just like gives me,
Starting point is 00:37:56 goosebumps and brings a tear to my eye. And so like crawling into the buck and shoot the last time I did recently, I had to get out just because I was just so overwhelmed with like love and like I just cried in the shoot. And it's just like, it's just this love of the game. And what I think it is is like for a man, rodeo is at least a rough stock and I'm sure a little bit of the time of events is counterintuitive. like we talked about earlier. I think maybe there's a little shade. I really don't know, but like it's counterintuitive. Like when fear sets in,
Starting point is 00:38:34 your intuition wants to do this thing, but the fundamentals are the opposite. And for a man to have that fear and then overcome it and execute the fundamentals, that's what I think is it's like you're testing your manhood. And matter of fact,
Starting point is 00:38:50 if he doesn't buck, you get a rewrite. And like I was, that's, I was talking to a Navy SEAL. He was like, I respect board riders because y'all face the fight every time. You know, most of the time we go around the corner and a room is benign. So I googled benign. And he meant there's nobody. There's not a fight there, you know? They're ready for a fight.
Starting point is 00:39:12 But obviously the stakes for them, like, I'm not trying to compare us. He was making the comparison. But every time we crawl in the shoot, we're about to meet a fight. And if we don't, get a rewrite like oh here's a better fight yeah you're gonna get one yeah yeah like a like a like a like a quarterback who you know whether he stays in the pocket or not you know and so um that to me is a moment of just there's a glimpse in there where you get to decide am i going to be a man today or am i going to not and that was why i wanted to do it 100% that's it dude and i just wanted
Starting point is 00:39:45 to see my limits and you were a man and test it and you were a man and you think you can do something and then it's like okay well if you think you can do it then go find out. And with just a few more weeks, months, a couple of years of executing the fundamentals, you could do that. And same thing with you. You got to test that. Like there's a point where your intuition is like, tells your feet, go back to that panel and climb over it. And you didn't. You went towards the bull. And I think it's, you know, football players that there's all these moments where we get to as men and even women, too, experience that test are. ourselves and it's important to me.
Starting point is 00:40:27 That's healthy, right? Tesla self boundaries cross that line, just to prove to yourself if nothing else. You know, within reason, because like there's like some training you had to go through. There's, you know, and there's also like we didn't, we weren't going to put you on a bushwhacker level bull. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:42 You know, like within reason. Those first few bulls you got on for you to have actually gotten hurt, it would need to be a freak accident. Yeah. But anyhow, like within reason, putting yourself in harm, harm's way and then coming out of it unscathed is it's fun to do and i'm going to do it with or without a camera i want to be on record in case something happens to me like i'm living my best life i just get to film it yeah i love it so you mentioned you you grew up in the rodeo your dad was a cowboy did you
Starting point is 00:41:11 play any other sports yeah i played a uh quarterback in football and um loved it had a tough schedule a little 1a school. We were not that good my senior year, but I really enjoyed throwing the ball. Like I would not be like you guys have six. If I came on the team, I would be number seven as far as like ability with any. I don't sell yourself short. I love watching basketball. Okay so much. But I am not like when they put me in my senior year like they cheered for me. I made a buzzer shot at half time once. and they carried the whole, the stands cleared, and they carried me off the court. Because it was that special. It was just so unfathomable that you could contribute to the basketball team.
Starting point is 00:42:02 It was three of my eight points that season. Okay. But I love to ask you your almost athlete moment, but I think you just told me to me out. Dude, these kids poured in and picked me up, and we had. Half time. This is halftime?
Starting point is 00:42:16 We had, yeah. You still had to come out on second half. It's so good. It's incredible. That's how much we were winning. I got put in in the first half. You know what I mean? But like we had, and we had a lot of talent on our team, you know, like, and so.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Well, high school? I grew up with Memphis, Texas. I grew up with this, with this Clarence Thomas. And later I would find out why we called him Chief Justice. But me and Clarence, I wore number eight and he wore number 22. And I was going to be Troy and he was going to be Emmett. Like, we just had all these similarities between Troy and Emmett, you know? And so anyways, it never happened for me.
Starting point is 00:42:56 But I did get to interview Troy on my podcast, so that was cool. But I never got to be an athlete. It's rodeo season coming up this summer. My hometown. Never really ends for us. Yeah, I guess so. My hometown does a small little rodeo below your pay grade. But for me, like watching the small town, Texas high school football,
Starting point is 00:43:16 just at its lowest base level and how beautiful it is. Do you go around in the summer, stop by some of these little small town Texas rodeos? Oh, for sure. Yeah, no, I love it. Like, yeah, I know exactly what you're, you know, it's neat to go to Houston and San Antonio and Cheyenne, some of the big rodeos.
Starting point is 00:43:33 But yeah, if you go to, I'm trying to think stuff around here, like, you know, Decatur and like there's some of those, Denton has a good small town, like some of those. White'sboro, yeah, that's an Ami Rodeo. Those are super fun. You can just feel the culture and the atmosphere and the vibe. It's just like hometown America, like just full of good people and you can smell the arena.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Yeah, I love it. In terms of celebrity, you've worked with Cody Johnson, Tyler, many. Is there a dream one out there that you would love to see, hop on a bull, coach him up a little bit? Man, see somebody? I haven't thought about that because I do not like to encourage people to ride a bull.
Starting point is 00:44:15 I got to meet and be a bull. I got to meet and be around Theo Vaughan a few times. I feel like he would be funny behind a shoot. Like all of his analogies. Nate that was on y'all's podcast, Nate Bargatsy, like he would be, it would be super cool to watch really anybody that's like, like you guys have had Tom Brady on
Starting point is 00:44:36 and like it would be neat to see his mindset carry over to something like that. You know, like people at the top of their game I like to watch behind the shoots because that's what it takes in bull riding too it seems like it's just an adrenaline thing you know like but it's not there's there are fundamentals to it
Starting point is 00:44:57 and you have to execute them you have to practice them you have to be a dedicated professional you know there is the whole cowboy side of it where you just got to like let loose but yeah those are something really didn't want to get on a bowl he's so incredibly health
Starting point is 00:45:13 conscious yeah yeah he said his dad actually wanted him to be a bull rider and they went there was a bull ride in school that he was going to go to but they shut it down before he could in oklahoma where he grew up in henrietta oklahoma but yeah he talked about like you know kind of growing up on a little ranch and he made the right call yeah i think yeah for sure to say he made the right call yeah funny story i was at my best friend's house of the dudes know really well growing up it was high school and the older brother of my best friend at dinner time told his mom that's that's that's that's where he wanted to go with it i want to be a bull rider She bawled at the dinner table. Yeah, he didn't get to, he didn't go through with it. She didn't allow it.
Starting point is 00:45:50 But, yeah, it's pretty crazy just how, you know, when somebody makes that decision, that's a life decision. Yeah, I don't, one time my brother and I in college, we were all rodeo on and he just kind of got away from it for a few weeks and turned into a month or two. And he was, you know, partying a little bit and sleeping in. And I just entered him. I was like, come on, man.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Let's get back in the, well, sure enough, when something like that happens, he drew the biggest bronc in the pen and landed on top of his head, like flew through the air and skid it on top of his head. And he had to take like a year off. Thankfully, he came back and was like better than,
Starting point is 00:46:30 but I remember during that year, like, I pray that's not his last bronk, you know. But thinking back to like, you can't push somebody to do something that they could lose their life in. They got to want to do that themselves. Like, y'all couldn't have done that for the views. No.
Starting point is 00:46:45 You know what I mean? Like you had to want to do that. For sure. And so I don't, like if I had, like I'm not going to force an intern. I'm not going to for, like there's plenty of times where we practice where interns, if they ask me, I'll tell them like, yeah, you need to get on four more today. But if they don't ask me, I don't, I don't volunteer that. You encourage you don't require.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Safe to say. I mean, I don't, technically I don't even encourage. Like, I answer a question. Like, I provide them the opportunity. because rodeo is 1099. Like this isn't a team sport. Like you gotta want it. You gotta show up.
Starting point is 00:47:20 You're self-employed. You got to, you are your own boss. And so like, I'm not gonna wake you up in the morning. Like, I'm gonna provide you the opportunity. Yeah. But also on the flip side of that,
Starting point is 00:47:28 like, if you're not a dog, like, I'll fire you. Like, I don't, I don't, there's that side of our job or like, it's just like, man, I just can't have, like, somebody that's just not, like, at least wants
Starting point is 00:47:41 to have a dog. and it's so in the interview process so like do you have that dog in you? Of course every 22 year Oh yeah I got the dog you know and then you get them behind the shoots
Starting point is 00:47:55 and they're just like about to pee in their pants you know Netflix series How to be a cowboy Is that out right now on? Yeah yeah it's still on Netflix yeah it was fun Yeah it's still there
Starting point is 00:48:04 How did that come about and how cool is that to see some of your stuff on the big net? It was a you know a production crew came along like I think the showrunner used to work with y'all Josh Wade
Starting point is 00:48:15 Oh yeah Josh Yeah yeah he was the showrunner on it And they Yeah I think Caitlin worked on that show too Caitlin was on it Had a lot of crossover With the DP guys But anyway they
Starting point is 00:48:26 It was fun It wasn't structured the way I would have structured it But the moments that were in it Were super real You know the explosion The buckoff's like The Bull getting out
Starting point is 00:48:38 And us trying to catch him Like all that was real But anyhow it was fun It was a brick in building the brand. And some bricks are bigger than others, you know. I love it, dude. That's awesome. I don't mind that, you know, like I saw y'all out here this morning with Fox and Friends,
Starting point is 00:48:53 how they do the whole. All right, one more time. Yeah. Yeah. That doesn't bother me. Like I, and as I'm sure, it doesn't y'all either. Like, that's what you got to be good at stuff like that. But the production side of what we do doesn't bother me.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Because I get, it's a means to paying the bills. And I still get to, like, do the rodeo side of things. Yeah. Sure. The hair, man. Got some luscious locks. What's the secret there? You leave in condition like tie?
Starting point is 00:49:17 You know, long hair don't care. And so the secret is don't care. Yeah, just let it happen. Do you use soap, though? Occasionally. Okay, yeah. Okay. Your tire very similar.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Yeah. Cowboys must just... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're not a big soap guy. Not a big soap guy. I don't wear deodorant. I'm like... Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Not even a dude. I'm a lot of people. I need it. But, again, I do believe that there are some people that don't. Yeah. Do you guys with, like, talking about the Netflix thing, and little things like, do you guys feel distracted sometimes and you'll try this or that?
Starting point is 00:49:47 And you're just like, let's just get back to YouTube. Yeah, the foundation. 100%. All the time. Like, yeah, the last two years, I think we've done a lot of that. Like, what are we trying to do that? A lot of projects that we probably shouldn't have done. But the tour, though, that's probably a big deal.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Tour's awesome. Yeah, we love the tour. That's also, like, for us, that's one of the few times that we actually go. Like, we don't do a bunch of meet and greets and stuff like that. So that's like our chance to go. out, get in front of our fans, see them face to face. The tour's fun. We enjoy that. I don't think we would enjoy it if it was six months out of the year. And even doing it for a month and a half
Starting point is 00:50:21 takes away a lot of our ability to be able to put out content and stuff. Yeah, it's a catch 22. But it's fun. It's great. I bet that first show. Yeah. Of the tour, you walk out and you're like, oh, dang, all those views are real people. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Oh, yeah. Well, the very first tour show we ever did. Like, you know, you sell, again, everything at that point had been a like or a comment. It was all digital. All your feedback was just a thing on a screen. Yeah. And so when we- Well, especially when the followers and views are all bought and paid for it. You know, well, that helps too. So we show up and we're like, I don't know if anybody's actually going to be in person at this show. And to walk out on stage with, I think that show was probably
Starting point is 00:51:02 only 7,000 people, something like that. But still, I mean, a big arena full of 7,000 people all screaming and going nuts when you walk out on stage, like it was crazy. Like, I was wild for us. That's how I feel with my booth. I go to, like, rodeos and I'll put a booth up there. But it's, it's on like a, there'll be like nine people there. And I feel, I feel like that. Yeah, look at all these people.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Look at all these people. It's crazy. Yeah. That, I can't imagine being on a stage like that. Like, because sometimes people, when they hire me to do a show, they might, some people just kind of overestimate my reach. Yeah. And they'll just think I can fill a stadium or something, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:51:40 within reason, like a rodeo. arena. Oh, we get that all the time. Oh, you have 62 million subscribers? Oh, y'all can get a million people to show up easy. Yeah, you get two million people to buy this product, no problem. Right. That's not how it works. Yeah. Well, if you got 62 million and you can get half of them, you'll only need 10% of them. To buy my... It's like, that's not how the math works, buddy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Self-fulfillment, though, when somebody does recognize you, appreciates the content, does that do something for you? Yeah, for us, like reading the YouTube comments, one thing, but to see it in person, see the kids light up in the face, it's really like that moment of this is why we do it man oh for sure yeah yeah so and my i got a good friend that
Starting point is 00:52:17 ufc fighter seroni cowboy and he just he told me one time because we were in Vegas and less of a rodeo crowd more of a ufc crowd and so he's getting bombarded and i'm taking the picture for him and he was just like yeah man one day they won't want a picture yep and i was just like oh yeah dang and i appreciated it i didn't necessarily need a reminder but it was just another perspective i hadn't thought of yeah i think that's exactly how we try and look at it. Everybody's like, man, we go out somewhere or whatever. You're like, has that get annoying? Like, when you had to get the fifth or six person come up and you're like, it's a part up? Like, when they're, if they're not coming
Starting point is 00:52:51 up and asking for a picture, then we don't have a job. Like, this isn't, this isn't going well. Why we have you? You down to play a game? Always. You're the world's greatest bull rider. Word. You're a cowboy. Tye's gotten on a bull. He's an outdoorsman. Sparky's gotten in an arena with a bull. So, uh, we're going to test, do you know what's inside of a bowl. Okay. You know, and where the cut of meat is. So I'm going to, you know, I'm going to say a cut of meat.
Starting point is 00:53:18 You guys are going to look at a diagram and you're going to tell me where that cut of meat is. Before we start this, I have to say, when I, the first time I made that you ain't no cowboy video, it was like, I would never tell somebody that person, but I was like doing a tour of my first gym pickup. And I was like, if you don't have a picking string on your headache, correct, you ain't no cowboy. ran with it and now I go to booths and people come up to me and say that and secretly it hurts my feelings so when I get all these answers wrong and people start
Starting point is 00:53:49 commenting that just know if you're trying to hurt my feelings you are succeeding yeah look naming a cut of meat and getting on the back of one of them are completely different so I don't think I'm gonna do well either do I on the night dad was an act teacher and I did meat judging yeah you're gonna nail this dude I it's gonna be crazy to all how bad I am That's crazy. That's where that was going. So we're going to start off easy with the tri-tip.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Are we starting off easy? Oh, look, guys, I'm going to go ahead and you guys are like, does Garrett know all these? I know zero of these answers. I have a guess, and I'm just going off of tri-tip is not known for the most, like, quality piece of meat. Okay. Still great.
Starting point is 00:54:30 So I went with three. Three. Seven. Similar thinking here for y'all. Yeah, because I think I know what three is. I think I know what six is. I wasn't sure about six. seven and I don't know what a try tip
Starting point is 00:54:42 where it comes from. See I would put tri-tip as a six because that's where the udders are. I put it as a four which I really dislike my answer. You're kind of in no man's land. Four ain't it? I know it's not four. There's no way. Talk to us Jared. Were we right? So our tri-tip officially is number five.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Really? How? Nobody hit on the tri-tip. That's bogus. Whoa. Next cut of meat rib eye. One of the most popular cut to meat boys. My favorite food on this entire. planet. Oh, really? Oh, my gosh. Over brisket? Over brisket. What is your, what are you talking about? You just like a steak over brisket. I love a ribae over anything. What about like a beef tenderloin?
Starting point is 00:55:23 I look, yes. A beef tending? Am I not clear enough? To be honest with you, Dale, you came off as vegetarian. Yeah. I thought you're vegetarian. Well, if you look at all my answers, people are going to assume I'm vegetarian because I'm not going to get these very well. Ribai. Hey, can I get my diagram Yeah. If I had a guess Ribai, I'll guess first. I'm going to say four. I went four partly because I answered four for the try tip and got it wrong, so I knew I had a chance
Starting point is 00:55:49 to get this one right. Ribbi four. I'm going A. Ocho. Yeah. Eight. That's a good slab right there. What about you? I'm going two. Yeah, it could be two. Answer is number one. What? Dang. That doesn't make sense, though. Somebody
Starting point is 00:56:05 has to get one right, boys. We cannot go through one right. Guys, I'm sorry. I was in meat judging in high school. My dad would is probably rolling over in his grade right now. I'm guessing eight is brisket. I don't even know if that's a cut, but... No, it's not. Well, it's not number eight, I don't think. Okay. I was thinking... The way it was shaped,
Starting point is 00:56:23 I was thinking, you know, because a ribile coming to roll, and I was thinking like, oh, just right around... Anyway. Sertloin. Oh, sirloin. This has got to be... It's a leaner cut of meat. So... I've got mine. Liener, maybe up.
Starting point is 00:56:38 everyone has their answer yep two four I'm I'm I did the the the same repeat answer
Starting point is 00:56:47 repeat answer eight just because we're gonna hit on one of these surely not all right sirloin is number two yeah baby lean it
Starting point is 00:56:56 lean cut of meat I thought that was the tenderloin lean with it rock with it sirloin baby tinderloin eight's got to be tenderloin yeah a fillet which is that the tinderloin
Starting point is 00:57:05 that's a tenderloin is tenderloin one of the things. You have to use your skills. A tenderloin is a flay. You've cut the fillet tinderloin, right? Right. Tenderline is not one of our answers. Yeah, you're right. We're thinking
Starting point is 00:57:20 the same here. Less fatty. Less fatty meat for the people watching out of Texas. Yeah, it's like a good cut of steak. Very tender without fat. Yeah. A sirloyne is tender with if you're against animal fats, which I am not, then you should go against. All right, Sparks, you're ready.
Starting point is 00:57:36 You don't body shame your animals? Filet six spot? That is certainly not correct. What are we thinking, dude? Yeah, I'm going with number eight. I just in that area, one, eight and two. Eight is the correct answer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Finally. Finally. Here we go. We're cooking now. We're cooking now. Tea bone. See, this is where I'm a little confused with our diagram here. Because a T-bone is actually made up of two different cuts.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Of rib eye. Yeah. And? And? Do you know? New York strip. Nope. I thought it was a New York strip
Starting point is 00:58:12 and a tenderloin. It is. I thought it was a filet and a ribbi. It's a filet in a New York strip. Is it? I don't know. So it would be four. No, we've already had four.
Starting point is 00:58:21 We already had four. We already had four. We didn't have four. We didn't have four. It's four. It's got to be four. All right, we're doing this together, we're doing this together, Jared.
Starting point is 00:58:31 We're doing this together, Jared. Five was your tri-tip. I feel bad that I'm not more help to. y'all like you thought I would be. Five would have to be four. It's lucky number four. Yeah, baby. It's not that low though. So I think we're in a three-way tie at this point. If you guys, if you guys
Starting point is 00:58:47 have known, there's only three there's really only two guesses left, right? Yeah. Well, I think I know where those are. Yeah, go ahead. The next one. Flank. I think this one got to be in the bottom. Surely. Yeah. Fahitas. I've got
Starting point is 00:59:01 mine. I've got some fajitas. Yep. Yeah. And six is the answer, correct. All right. We only have two left. Skirt. Yeah, flanking from the six. That's good.
Starting point is 00:59:11 I'm just going to tell you the last two, their skirt steak and their brisket. And your last two numbers remaining are three and seven. I knew I would get the number of three and the six for sure. Skirt steak is correct. You guys like skirt steak? I don't know if I've ever tried it. You don't? Yeah, I don't mind it.
Starting point is 00:59:26 It's like, yeah, it's fajita meat. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, I mean, flank and skirt kind of goes to say. It's not, it's thin meat. Yeah. Like, you just. Good taco meat.
Starting point is 00:59:35 And then brisket, boys. We finish strong. Look, guys, at least we all got brisket. We're Texas. We're known for our barbecue. I can't believe you put a brisket over a ribba. I actually like a beef tenderloin, I would say, probably the, or a T-bone. A T-bone's good, but.
Starting point is 00:59:49 I just, this diagram, I'm doing some extra research here because a T-bone is not that low on a cow at number four. Yeah, I'm going to agree. Obviously, I don't know what. You were thrown off by the 2D cow. Okay. So we have a three-way tie, so I'm just going to throw up. about a tiebreaker here. No table talk on this one.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Let's just see who can get it. There are two blank spots on the cow, one near the neck, one near the tail. Which one is the chuck? Is it head or tail? Which one's the chuck? Is it towards the front or the back? Let's see it.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Tail? It is the head. Sparky drops one off. I do remember that. We have a two-way time between Tyler and Taylor and tail. You little meat, Judge, are you? Now it's between Tyler and Dale. All right, so this is the sudden death.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Who is the greatest bull rider to walk the first. Okay, here's for a tiebreaker. Tomahawk. It's one of the numbers on that cow. Oh. The old Tomahawk. All right. Wow.
Starting point is 01:00:52 They're just battling. These are two titans just going at it. You are both correct. Yes, yeah, they're two titans. It's connected to the rib. Yeah, obviously. That's what I was thinking that big old rib comes out with it. What about the gordita crunch?
Starting point is 01:01:07 Or is it a cheesy gordita crunch? Where's that coming from in the bull? We are running out of cuts of meat here, boys. Reminds me of the twins when they played rock favorite sisters the other day. They got the same thing. We could just crowned him the king. Yeah, there you go. They both ridden a bull.
Starting point is 01:01:22 They both know their cuts. Yeah, kind of. Kind of. I think this one's going to be a time. It's a tie. It's a tie. It's a tie. Yeah, you don't know which one you're talking about around the bull.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Yeah, kind of, yeah, kind of. They know their cuts kind of and they kind of wrote a bull. Yeah, true of both of us. Give it up for your champions of the Cowboys. Yeah, maybe. Thanks. These two. You know, if you can't start good, finish good.
Starting point is 01:01:45 That's what I always say. What cut are you making for dinner tonight? Man, I stopped at the Frisco Cafe. Yeah. I'm not trying to, don't want to. The Depot? The Depot? Localized the place, but stopped at a diner and had a rib-on eggs this morning.
Starting point is 01:02:02 So, I don't know. It's a good start to the day. Yeah, isn't it? The first go diner at the gas station? It's not a gas station. Oh, you, the first go diner right here off the tollway. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a good spot.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Yeah, we heard you. We heard you. Hey, man, we were just trying to come up and trying to figure out some dinner. Went to the diner, had a rib-eye and eggs this morning and so excited. Yeah. Slabs of meat-wise, though, cooked, medium rare. Is that cool? Medium rare.
Starting point is 01:02:26 It's the only way to have it. All day, every day. So, yeah. I don't got a rant today, Sparks to you. Why? Do you, Dale? Do you have anything? Pressing?
Starting point is 01:02:32 Big soap. I mean, whatever you want to hit on. Yeah, no, I don't, big cheese I get mad at. You do? Yeah, just a little bit, because it's not even cheese. They can't call it cheese, craft singles. Wow. No offense to craft, but then again, like I'm against, no.
Starting point is 01:02:46 You don't like it. I want the real cheese. You want cheddar. That's basically my motivation is that I, like, pay my bills enough that I don't have to go back to something that you can't even legally call cheese. But it's really good. Like a grilled cheese with just two double craft singles on there. Or you can get the, you know, they have the thick boys. now like the bell eaters.
Starting point is 01:03:05 I don't know, man. You put some real cheese on there. Like Tillamook. Yes, Tillamook, thank you. You've seen all the wheels. I've been trying to get a Tillamook sponsorship forever. You've seen the reels. Yeah, and also like organic,
Starting point is 01:03:16 not organic, raw milk. Yeah, raw milk. Yeah, big raw milk. Unpasturized. Yeah, for sure. Golly, it's so sweet. If you haven't had a bunch of sweets lately and then you drink a glass of raw milk.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Man, I might be more of a cowboys. You ever had it straight from the utter? Oh, yeah. If you haven't, then you ain't no cowboy. That's right. It's like getting it on tap. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:37 What cheat meal are you into? You do you cheat meals a lot? Man, I love like some, like I love a dump cake. I love a chocolate chip cookie. Yeah. Yeah. And then pizza. I hated pizza and then I started Carnivore.
Starting point is 01:03:50 And now if I cheat, like, I want some pizza. Stuff crust guy? Whatever. Yeah. More cheese so long as it's real cheese. I think it is. Simple life, you all live, man. Simple life.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Yeah, I'm a simple fellow. There's something to say about that. You said you're the greatest cowman? of all time, right? That's crazy over Larry Allen, Emmett Smith. There's a lot of good cowboys out there. There's a lot of good cowboy. You ain't no cowboy hoodie to the podcast with Troy.
Starting point is 01:04:14 And I think at first he thought, like, I was like, I made it for that podcast. And he was kind of like eyeballing it and he said something about it. But he was talking about like, yeah, I get, I was like, what's your, you know, autographs? And he was like, yeah, they're all older guys. And he was like acting annoyed. And I had three cards in my pocket. I was like, oh, yeah, that's the worst. Hey, we all put these away.
Starting point is 01:04:34 That's great. That's awesome, man. That's my, you ain't a cowboy moment. It looks like our time is up. If you like this video, be sure to check out our DP Outdoors Log Cabin Behind the Scenes video and click here. Thanks for it in. See you next week.
