influenced the Kings in Montana creating a movement scrapping or

Ryan Gardner, Welcome to the Show's up, Get bucked up boys, Get.
33
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.640
Martana loves to get fucked up.

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.079
But we always inergy guys.
35
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.640
Ryan a long time in the making, My man, I'm
36
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.879
so excited to have you on. Well, I'm happy to
37
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.879
be on guys, first and foremost. You know, we have
38
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.120
a tradition on the show. Everyone that comes on the
39
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.319
show that's never been on the show before, we like
40
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.400
to have them introduce themselves. So I'm gonna ask the
41
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.879
question and let you run with it, my man. Who
42
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:20.479
is Ryan Gardner?
43
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.240
Guys, I'm just a regular guy that was born in Clearfield, Utah,
44
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.039
born and raised on a farm. And now I just
45
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.000
got lucky in a lot of aspects. I worked hard,
46
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.919
and now I'm the CEO of Bucked Up, where a
47
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.759
sports nutrition company and energy drink company, and we're gonna
48
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.879
sell about sixty million plus energy drinks this year.
49
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.639
Holy globally or is that national?
50
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.240
Yeah, it's it's nationally. Most all of our distribution is
51
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.479
done nationally. But we are starting to expand internationally, like,
52
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.960
for instance, we just opened up Canada.
53
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.520
So I seen your new cans. You dropped new cans
54
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.439
that were in Spain too, didn't you.
55
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.840
Yeah, basically there were. We've dropped a few little clabs
56
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.199
and limited time only flavors and stuff like that.
57
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.599
So I can say that you're not just a regular
58
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:14.159
man to us.
59
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.639
We do look up to you, especially as two brothers
60
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.680
who started a company as you and your brother did.
61
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.159
Yep, I have an identical twin brother. We pretty much
62
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.400
done everything our entire lives. The only time that we
63
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.879
were ever separated from our lives was when we served
64
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.919
our missions for our church. You know, we're from Utah,
65
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.199
so you know what type of church that is. But
66
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.639
we that's the only time we've been apart. We've run
67
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.000
bucked Up from the very beginning, started it, founded it,
68
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.879
and just keep pushing it.
69
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.800
I love I love the story of brotherhoods, you know,
70
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.319
coming together. And you know, because me and Lea we're
71
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.199
not twins, but you know, we're very much We very
72
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.400
much look different, we act different, but we act like twins.
73
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.879
For being six years separated. Yeah, I don't think a
74
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:57.759
lot of people would know that.
75
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.879
Yeah, I didn't know that either. I didn't know you
76
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:01.719
were that far apart.
77
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.800
Actually, yeah, yeah, I'm the older brother, but you wouldn't
78
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.199
know it. I'm more of the knucklehead. He's more of
79
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.639
the un the well rounded individual.
80
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:13.479
Do you guys get in fights like we do?
81
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.120
You know growing up we did, but as adults we
82
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.639
are so on this age, he's way wiser.
83
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.079
He might be right.
84
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.560
No, I want to get into the story of buck
85
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.800
Up man. Can can we get into a deep dive
86
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.920
of what was the vision? How did you and your
87
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.879
brother come up with the idea and what was the
88
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.240
what was the basis of how you got your name down? Yeah?
89
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.319
What inspired you to start an energy drink and supplement company?
90
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.319
Yeah? You know, you know, I mean I could go
91
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.079
all the way back where I can pretty much just
92
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.199
tell you real quickly. We had an affiliate network and
93
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.319
we were driving traffic to a whole bunch of people.
94
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.000
So people would come to us all the time and say, hey,
95
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.920
I got this product, will you drive traffic to my website?
96
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.439
And we would simple and go, yeah, we'll do that.
97
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.160
How much are you going to pay us per sell?
98
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:05.040
Yeah?
99
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.079
And then we would turn around to our publishers or
100
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.720
our affiliates and they would drive traffic and we would
101
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.519
tell So a guy would go, hey, I'll give you
102
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.720
forty dollars for this model, and we would just turn
103
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.600
around to our affiliate network and say, hey, we'll give
104
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:18.639
you thirty two dollars for every sale you get us.
105
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:20.879
So we were kind of like the brokers in the
106
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.360
middle oh start, but we started driving a lot of
107
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.600
traffic for people, and one of those a guy came
108
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.000
into our office and he had a product called l
109
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.000
RG nine plus, and by the time he walked out
110
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.720
about an hour and a half later, we owned fifty
111
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.439
percent of the company and we wanted to do the
112
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.240
business with him, and so we said, hey, we'll drive
113
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.920
all the traffic. We'll do the website and drive all
114
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.079
the traffic. You just make sure that the product is
115
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.639
in stock. And at the time, he was doing about
116
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.560
six or seven hundred dollars a day on this product.
117
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.120
And what ended up happening is after about four to
118
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.920
five weeks, we were doing about thirty five hundred dollars
119
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.720
a day on that same product.
120
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.079
Geez, let's go.
121
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.079
Though it was, it started taking off. Then we started
122
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.600
seeing that Google was rewarding people for an exact match domain.
123
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.120
So as somebody went to the Internet and typed in
124
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.600
and in, you know like largentine dot com, like l
125
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.600
argentine largentine dot com would pop to the top and
126
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.839
we saw that someone had that domain. They were at
127
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.319
the very top, but it was just full of information.
128
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.360
So I contacted the person who owned the domain name
129
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.920
and I said, hey, I would like to buy your domain,
130
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.600
and he goes, it's not for sale, and I simply said,
131
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.000
everything's for sale. How much he came back to He
132
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.120
came back to us and said, hey, it's twenty five
133
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.920
thousand dollars. I went to my brother and the other
134
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.199
guy and said, hey, it's twenty five grand, but I
135
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.160
think we'll rank number one is and will be the
136
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.480
first product to sell. Sure enough, we bought the domain
137
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.560
name and we ranked number one and well tons of product.
138
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.399
And if you don't think it was a gamble or
139
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.680
were you this that sure oh at the.
140
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.800
Time, we were kind of gambling with it. But what
141
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.519
we did is we were building out websites for everybody.
142
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.120
So we would buy an exact match domain and we
143
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.279
would get it ranking and we would sell off that
144
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.399
website really fast. So like, for instance, we bought Dui
145
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:25.199
Attorney Arizona, and if somebody typed in d ui so
146
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.959
smart man, so smart, Yeah, it would pop to the top.
147
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.439
And we would contact an Arizona Dui Attorney and say, hey,
148
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.240
we got this website and it's producing tons of leads.
149
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:36.399
It's going to be.
150
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.199
Twelve zy angle man.
151
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:43.120
That is so crazy, the power of domain names. Yeah.
152
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.959
Then we ranked really high for that l Arganine, that
153
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.000
larginine dot com. And then we read an article in
154
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.839
Sports Illustrated that said, dear Antler spray is banned in
155
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.839
Major League Baseball and we were like, what's dear antler spray? Right,
156
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.519
So what we did is we went to go Daddy,
157
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.680
We looked it up. Sure enough, it was available eight bucks.
158
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.560
We purchased it and we went and found a manufacturer
159
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.720
that can produce deer Antler spray. Now what deer Antler
160
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.600
spray is. They feel like it gives an athlete an edge.
161
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.519
And what you do is it's a sublingual spray and
162
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.399
it helps you recover really really quick from work. After
163
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.879
your workouts or if you have a torn muscle, you
164
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.120
can recover really quick. And we thought, oh, this is
165
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.160
another L large nine product, what do it be considered
166
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.600
like a PD So at one time, at one time
167
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.399
people were thinking that it was going to be a
168
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:41.559
band ingredient, and in fact, WATA World Anti Doping Agency
169
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.879
on the list at one time because it really contains
170
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.279
what's called IGF one now injectable IGF one, your levels
171
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.320
just go through the roof and you can recover really
172
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.120
really quick. But with deer Antler spray, it's undetectable and
173
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.519
it doesn't even you know, it just spikes it just
174
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.080
enough to help you recover or really quick. So so
175
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.000
so at the time, you know, people were like, Hey,
176
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.360
I don't know if this is this is good or not,
177
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.519
and we were. We we ended up going out and
178
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.399
buying thirty five hundred bottles.
179
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:21.759
Were just crazy, man. You know that that's a real gamble. Honestly, Yeah,
180
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.360
it was a real risk.
181
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.000
And so we ended up going and producing a bunch
182
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.360
of bottles and we thought it was another l large night.
183
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.559
But hardly anybody reads Sports Illustrated apparently, because no one
184
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.559
was buying the product. We were selling literally like ten
185
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.000
bottles a day, and so we were like, wow, what
186
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:44.039
are we gonna do. Well about eight months later, ray Lewis,
187
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.960
I don't know if you remember this, he got he
188
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.960
tore his tricep right before the Super Bowl.
189
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.120
Okay, and so that brings us wet to what two
190
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:57.759
thousand and thirty five? Oh, that's right, that's right.
191
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:02.799
Yeah. So so in Super Bowl week a guy pulls
192
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:04.759
out a receipt and says to ray Lewis, hey, I
193
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:09.200
show that you bought deer Antler spray. And everybody was like,
194
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.440
what's deer Antler spray? Well, we owned the domain name.
195
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.759
So guess where they all went? No way, dude, Yes,
196
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.399
and we sold all of our bottles in one day.
197
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:23.000
What dude, Dude sold all of our bottles within the
198
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:23.919
first half.
199
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.039
Of the day. You said, thirty five thousand bottles.
200
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.639
Right, you had thirty five hundred thirty bottles. We were
201
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.120
selling them for like ninety nine dollars a bottle.
202
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:33.639
Right, let's go, dude.
203
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.840
Though. It was really good. And then a couple of
204
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.919
days later, GNC contacts us and says, how fast can
205
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.440
you fulfill thirty thousand bottles? It may be banned in
206
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.759
professional sports, but it's not banned for everybody else. And
207
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.960
we were like, okay, and so we went out and
208
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.639
got fifty thousand bottles made and started cranking them out,
209
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:54.759
started selling.
210
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.519
And GNC partnered up with you, and they started pushing
211
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:57.879
them out.
212
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.039
Yeah, and GNC blasted out. They were selling, you know,
213
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.879
twenty five hundred bottles a week. It was going really
214
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.559
really up. Or this was before bucked up.
215
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.960
Okay, and so you established a relationship with GNC before
216
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.399
you even got your brand out.
217
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.159
There exactly exactly, so.
218
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.159
Spray and then what we crazy, that's so crazy to
219
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.879
think about, dude, that is crazy. The craziest product brought
220
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.440
you a crazy product as the partnership. Yeah, it's crazy.
221
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.799
So we decided we started going to expos with just
222
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.519
deer antler Spray, and we were looking around and we
223
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.879
were like, what is everybody selling here? And they're selling
224
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.759
they were selling a pre workout, and we were like,
225
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.600
what's the pre workout? We had never even tried a
226
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.240
pre workout before, so we started going around to It.
227
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.639
Didn't really makes sense, though, because when did it take off?
228
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.519
Like you started hearing everybody talk about pre like like
229
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.639
about ten years ago. Dum.
230
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.759
Yeah, it was like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, yeah, thou
231
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.399
and fifteen is when it was really coming on strong.
232
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:56.159
Yeah.
233
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.240
If you weren't, like, if you weren't into sports really
234
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.639
you were or going into GMC, you didn't really know
235
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:02.039
about it.
236
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:02.200
You know.
237
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.679
One thing about me and Levi that a lot of
238
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.519
people don't know is that we worked in the fitness
239
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.720
industry for like a while.
240
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.600
I did for a few years, and I was actually.
241
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.600
I was one of the lead membership salesmen for one
242
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.240
of the biggest franchises in the Northwest area, the Peak
243
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.720
Health and Wellness. Oh yeah, yeah, and I broke all
244
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.080
their records as one of their sales and they ended up, yeah,
245
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.320
they flew me out to fit Life in Oregon to
246
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.679
represent the whole company. I ended up putting an award
247
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:29.759
in the organ as well.
248
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.039
Yeah, awesome, awesome.
249
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:33.679
It was really cool that it gave me a really
250
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:35.960
big insight into the fitness world because that's not something
251
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.919
I have personally like try to dive into. But I
252
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.600
was around it during that time and I got to
253
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.639
see it all. You know what I mean.
254
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:42.159
I say, the.
255
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.360
Negative, the goods, the bads, the positives of products and people,
256
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.399
you know what I mean. So bucked up to me,
257
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.759
I know as one hundred percent legit because of the
258
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.559
fitness nuts here that was using it before I even
259
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.639
knew about you, really before you even linked up with BKFC,
260
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.039
and you know that brought you to us. I knew
261
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.679
about you prior to that because of the Peak.
262
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.399
And yeah, I got the front desk and I just
263
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.679
made a bunch of connections talking to everybody coming in
264
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:08.919
you know.
265
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.200
Yeah this networking Yeah, yeah, no, he networked our first
266
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.919
big episode with Jim Starr, the guy who did American Gladiators.
267
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.879
Yeah Laser yeah from the Age, one of our first
268
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.320
big episodes. And he landed that from networking at the.
269
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.159
Peak and we've gotten you know, we've got verbal confirmation.
270
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.840
It just has it happened yet of Reggie Watts as
271
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.200
well nice, Yeah, I mean because he's a great false
272
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.480
native as well. So like at the one where I
273
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.759
was working at, you know, he'd becoming in when Neilton Town,
274
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.159
so I'd see him and I'm like, hey, at first,
275
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.480
I wanted to be our first episode, but I just
276
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:41.320
didn't work that way.
277
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:42.480
It didn't work.
278
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.960
No, he's a busy guy though, every time he's here,
279
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.200
and he's a very family oriented man. He's always with
280
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.159
his mom, so and he's very famous. So when he
281
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.200
comes here, peace of mind, you know what I mean.
282
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.120
Yeah, So episodes have you been doing?
283
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.279
How many have we done? Last year we did sixty
284
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.639
four and we did one more in one a week.
285
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:04.559
The years prior to that we were up in the
286
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.039
probably seventies there. I mean, I think season three we
287
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:07.840
went like into.
288
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.960
The seventies and three I think we had forty five
289
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:12.639
to sixty somewhere in there as well.
290
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.799
This year we'll probably end about sixty again.
291
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:20.240
Yeah, we're pretty cont what stalls you know, the number,
292
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.519
because it would be more than that because we do
293
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.960
have so many guests that we have to, like we
294
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.480
literally have to shuffle guests around. Sometimes it's sometimes it's bad,
295
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.360
sometimes it's good. But it's the traveling. We traveled to
296
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.039
all these events, you know, and we're a team of
297
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.039
four and so that's all. That's all it is, and
298
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.840
that that comes down to the editing, everything, all the scheduling,
299
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.200
all the planning, everything comes down to four people.
300
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.799
So right now we're actually just working on getting our
301
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.080
projects back together so we can catch up so when
302
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:48.759
we come home that we.
303
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:50.159
Can just work on project at a time.
304
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.919
You know. Yeah, we traveled all all freaking summer, you know. Yeah,
305
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.039
we hit every spot that we told everyone that we
306
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.840
would and more. You know, we actually ended up getting
307
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.639
invited to a couple big events to host, Like we
308
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.000
hosted a Wrap in the Rivers, which was Montowna's biggest
309
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.039
hip hop festival, and we were just originally invited as
310
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.919
special guests celebrity appearances, and we ended up working it
311
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.480
as hosts on the on the big stage. So it
312
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.519
gave us a really big opportunity to get around all
313
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:16.799
the big stars. It was really cool.
314
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.720
Yeah, like I don't know if you know, like Dizney
315
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.639
Riot or Stevie Stone or anyone like that, but we
316
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.600
were on stage with them.
317
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.879
It was cool, nice, nice. Yeah, Well I remember meeting
318
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:26.960
you guys one of the first, you know, one of
319
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:31.360
the first BKFC events that we went to. Really yeah,
320
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.840
we ran into you guys pretty shortly after we got
321
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.320
involved with BKFC, So it just happened to work.
322
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.759
Out, and that was in La right, yeah, La.
323
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:45.080
Yeah. Well, I think I think we had hooked up earlier.
324
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.480
Did you guys go to the Denver fight?
325
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.600
We had sent our crew down there, and we had
326
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.799
two guys representing us down there, and they may have
327
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.679
approached you during that time, because I think you just
328
00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:59.840
signed us actually, and we were on a hunt for you,
329
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.519
and we sent a couple of our people to represent
330
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.720
us down there in Denver. I think they initially met
331
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.600
you there, and then we ended up meeting you in
332
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.200
Salt Lake and then in La yes, and.
333
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.679
Then in La yeah. Yeah. Well, you know what's crazy
334
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:18.120
is bucked up. We we hadn't done anything, We hadn't
335
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.519
really sponsored a whole lot of people or done a
336
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:25.639
big sponsorships, and BKFC was one of the very first
337
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.840
big sponsorships that we had done, and it just happened
338
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.120
to work out that. Right after we did the sponsorship
339
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.440
with BKFC, that very next fight, which was about two
340
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.840
weeks later, Connor McGregor showed up to the fight.
341
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.559
What a time to jump on man. You you said
342
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:46.320
it in the very beginning of this episode. You said,
343
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.639
I'm a man that's been extremely lucky. You did say
344
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.320
those words, man, and for you not only BKFC, it's
345
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.799
cool that you linked up with. We freaking love David Feldman, Mike,
346
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.320
David he is Man. We love him with all of
347
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.159
our heart. That's one of our brothers. Legit.
348
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.799
He really awesome guy. He's done for us outside behind
349
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:09.160
the scenes as well as matter.
350
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.920
Of fact, let's talk about it, but we never really
351
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.000
have talked about it. I'm gonna give a David Feldman
352
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.359
a huge, huge, huge shout out. I know that he's
353
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.599
not a big man to to like expose this stuff.
354
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.839
But our father passed away when we were at BKFC
355
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.839
in Miami recently sixty.
356
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.839
Two and sixty three, No sixty two was it sixty two?
357
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.519
But he passed away, and uh, you know, we're not
358
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.839
We're not, you know, financially like you know, super well off.
359
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.160
And it was an unexpected death, and David Feldman came
360
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.440
out of nowhere and helped pay for our father's funeral.
361
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.599
Wow, that's amazing.
362
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.119
He's an awesome, awesome, awesome man, and I will always
363
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.920
be forever loyal to David Felman. It's cool that you
364
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.880
guys linked up during that time and then Connor happened
365
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.319
to slip in.
366
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:53.440
I did not want to.
367
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.160
Get too far from your story though, bucked up. But
368
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.400
I had one question in the middle of all that
369
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.759
is what schooling or what you know? What's your background
370
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.559
that leads you into all of that knowledge? Because every
371
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.359
time you were speaking, I was keeping up with everything
372
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.400
you're preaching, because you're not only talking, but you're literally
373
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:13.920
teaching business to us.
374
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.200
Right now, are you asking like where you got the keys?
375
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:21.079
Just no, just all his knowledge in the chemical imbalances
376
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.440
for the body, all of it. You seem very well
377
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.720
versed into what you're talking about, and that's awesome.
378
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.720
Will you know, guys, I don't have a very big
379
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.240
background with schooling or anything like that. In fact, when
380
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.839
I went to college after I got back from my mission,
381
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.839
I went to a college called uv SC. It's now
382
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.559
UVU here in Utah, and our headquarters is right across
383
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:44.839
the street. I went there for about a year and
384
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.720
a half and I just said, hey, school is not
385
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.759
for me. And I actually went and started working on
386
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.480
a sales floor. I was really good at it. I
387
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.799
was doing sales and these people were giving us leads
388
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.000
and they would put put it on our desk and say, hey,
389
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.200
you got to call on these leads and you to
390
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.559
upsell them, and you're you're a setter. Well, I was
391
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.880
calling on these leads and I'm like, the guy who's
392
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:08.960
making the money is the guy producing the lead. So
393
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.640
guess what happened. A lead provider came in the door
394
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.799
and I started chatting with him, and I'm like, hey,
395
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.839
you're making good money. Let's go to the auction. I
396
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.519
had my dealer's license at the timeh and I said,
397
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.640
let's go to the auction and buy you a nice car,
398
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.160
like a Mercedes or something. He's like, I'm in well,
399
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.240
why we went to go buy him a car? I
400
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.599
asked him for a job. I'm like, hey, I want
401
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.200
to know how you're producing leads.
402
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.839
And I want and I said, I heard my Perry
403
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.759
say what was he saying? Shoot your shot, man, shoot
404
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:37.799
your shot? Ye?
405
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:41.759
And I asked the lead provider for a job and
406
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.000
he goes, yes, come and help me. I don't know
407
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.079
what I'm doing, but come help me. And then I
408
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.240
learned how to drive traffic online. And then I came
409
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.559
back up and I said, Jeff, we got to start
410
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:53.799
an affiliate network. And then that's when we got into
411
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:57.720
doing affiliate network stuff. And then and then, you know,
412
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.319
like I said, we were going to these expos and
413
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.680
we saw everybody selling a pre workout and we said, hey,
414
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.599
we need to come up with a pre workout, and
415
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.160
let's do it better than all of these guys. At
416
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.599
the time, they tasted like crap. Honestly, you could barely
417
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.200
get them down. And we said, let's come out with
418
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.039
the best tasting and best formula out on the market.
419
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.519
And we actually said, let's do it non proprietary. So
420
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.519
we said, hey, we're going to disclose everything in there,
421
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:28.079
and we would say, here's the ingredient we're putting in,
422
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.720
and here's the amount of that ingredient that we're using.
423
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:34.519
And people are like, you're crazy, sell your core opt
424
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.720
a nutrition bus in. They're all going to knock you off.
425
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.680
And we were like, let them beat us at marketing.
426
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:43.920
Let's see what they can do. Right, So in twenty sixteen,
427
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.519
we decided to start a company called bucked Up. We
428
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.000
went to the domain name, we looked it up. It
429
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.440
was available for fifteen hundred dollars and we were like,
430
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:57.960
that's really catchy. My parents absolutely hated it. They hated
431
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.640
bucked that because sounded too close of the F word.
432
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.119
Hey, man, I posted a story one time. I felt
433
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:07.920
really embarrassed, man, because I didn't know that I had
434
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.160
cuss words in it. And I put up it was
435
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.480
a song by Boozy and uh it's called bucked Up
436
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:21.160
and bro dude, I, I said, what what's going on? Man?
437
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.440
I was like, oh, no, we just signed our contract
438
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.480
like three hours ago.
439
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.960
Yeah, I had to. I had to pull that one
440
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:32.119
down pretty fast.
441
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:35.920
But now you know, we're the number one selling pre
442
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:39.759
workout on the market. Let's go, and we're coming for
443
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.839
for energy drinks. I mean, you know, we we just
444
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.240
signed a really big person in the m in m
445
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:54.519
M A a really really big dude. Yeah. We're gonna
446
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:57.319
be making the announcement here shortly. But it's awesome, and
447
00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:59.319
you know what, it's just gonna help us get all
448
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.519
the eyeballs we need help with brand awareness and getting
449
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.759
our brand out there. Even though we sell sixty you know,
450
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:10.839
sixty million energy drinks this year. I mean we're barely
451
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.599
touching and scratching the surface here.
452
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.680
So let's go to one twenty next year.
453
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:15.680
Yes, we do.
454
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.680
We need to. Let's go man Montana before actually, so
455
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.160
before January, I would say, actually, there was no bucked
456
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.319
up in Montana and then all of a sudden, it's
457
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:30.680
it's everywhere now, man, I would have to I'm happy
458
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.480
to say that we started seeing it pop up in
459
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.240
our gas stations and I can go right down to
460
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.240
my gas station out and get bucked up.
461
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:39.160
But we can buy four on the way to the studio.
462
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:39.720
You can do.
463
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:47.599
But order it to your house, you weekly. So let's
464
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.559
chip bucked up, very fuck up.
465
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.079
So so you know, guys, I came from working, born
466
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.480
and raised on a farm, and now I'm running a
467
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.079
company where we're doing a couple hundred million dollars. We're
468
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:03.920
doing really well, and you know, guys like you that
469
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.400
help support the brand. It's been awesome. We got to
470
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.359
meet a lot of people, and you know, we sponsored
471
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:14.240
Mike Perry b KFC. We have another big, big fighter that.
472
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:17.119
I want to know.
473
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:20.960
So it's the biggest guy in this sport, you know.
474
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:28.119
Don oh no, dude, it's gonna be, but it's good man, Like.
475
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.839
Life is good, and we're excited to see where bucked
476
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.200
up ghosts because I think this guy's the women at
477
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.599
this point.
478
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.559
So yeah, no, dude, your your guys' rise has been
479
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.799
so fun to watch and I'm so proud to be
480
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:42.240
part of it.
481
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.279
Thank you for giving us the faith and believing in us.
482
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.960
Man. People like you believing in us only bring us
483
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:52.759
up another level. Every time we think we hit a plateau,
484
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.039
like what.
485
00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:53.839
Can we do next?
486
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.720
You know, we met Connor McGregor, we flew coast to coast,
487
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.319
we're hanging out with you know. Every time we feel
488
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.240
like we plateau, people like you just like, nah, you
489
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:03.519
gotta go up again. Man.
490
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.400
Well, you guys are positive, you have great energy. Sky's
491
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.359
the limit for you guys as well. So that's great.
492
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:12.440
I have a real question, man, and it's more of interest.
493
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:14.160
What happened to the chopper?
494
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:18.759
I want to hear about it too.
495
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.839
So Danny Duncan came to town and believe or not,
496
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.400
we actually had a helicopter that went down there as
497
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.680
a student pilot and an instructor and they were practicing
498
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.240
auto rotates, you know, in crazy one hundred and five
499
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.920
degree weather. Yeah, it turned it off and it had
500
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:40.559
a mechanical failure where the engine is supposed to idle
501
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.400
when you take the power off, it actually shut off,
502
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:46.519
and so the instructor had to take over and land it.
503
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:50.920
They walked away scratch free, which is exactly what WOW
504
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.559
is designed to do. You know, if the power goes out,
505
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:58.400
you can basically just land it no problem. And that's
506
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:01.480
what happened. As he came down. It kind of the
507
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:05.680
the rotors came down and one of the rotors hit
508
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:08.039
the back end of the tail and cut it off. So,
509
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:10.920
you know, it was it was already done like that.
510
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:13.839
But when Danny Duncan came into town, he's like, hey,
511
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:15.559
I want to I want to do some stuff like
512
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.720
this with it. So uh yeah, you know, he made it.
513
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.000
He made it look like we did some damage to it,
514
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:25.799
but that wasn't us. And but it was fun. It
515
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:28.200
was good hanging with Danny Duncan. What I like about
516
00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:30.759
this is we get to meet a lot of great people.
517
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.119
I was just gonna ask, you know, uh uh how
518
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:33.920
you know what was it like?
519
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.160
Because Danny Duncan's such my son loved he's my son's
520
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.799
fifteen and loved Danny Dunky Man.
521
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:40.960
We have we have a Virginity Rocks Blake in our
522
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.799
house because of him.
523
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.000

525
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:52.240
a couple of days with us, just cruising around, hanging out.
526
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.440

543
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:42.039
Yes, sir appreciated Jay, thanks for all the support, and
544
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:44.319
I hope you do well and if you ever need
545
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.920
any help, let me know. There's plenty. There's plenty of
546
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:50.200
room in this market. There's you know, there's plenty of
547
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:52.720
room for other energy drinks as well.
548
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.960
So we feel that exact same way about other media companies.
549
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:58.200
We were the first in Montana, a pioneer of all
550
00:26:58.640 --> 00:26:59.799
podcasting basically, and.
551
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:01.839
You know, we're not going to say we're the first
552
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.880
podcast but this way, yeah, absolutely doing it the way
553
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:05.200
we did it.
554
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.839
Definitely the pioneers over here. And uh, we always feel
555
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.799
that same way. There's no competition, There ain't no, there's
556
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.000
no hard feelings about people doing the same thing, and
557
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.480
there's more than enough room in the market that we have.
558
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:20.680
Yeah, we had a couple other supplement companies you know,
559
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:24.200
in Utah as well, and we're all friendly with all
560
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:26.519
of them because you know, there's, like I said, there's
561
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.039
there's plenty to go around, and you know, even with
562
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:32.400
those guys, we'd be more happy to share with them
563
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.279
what we've learned and how we grew our business and
564
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:37.079
we were we would do the same thing for them,
565
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.519
so we'd tell them exactly what to do. So it's good.
566
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.079
So I got one, What are the key ingredients that
567
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:46.359
differentiate your products from the competitors.
568
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.480
That's a good question, that's a super good question.
569
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.359
Well, you know, look, we're not a soft drink company
570
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:54.880
like a Coke or a Pepsi that are trying to
571
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:58.960
come out with energy drinks. We're a sports nutrition company
572
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.279
and we use ingredients for that really helped with focus
573
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.000
and energy. So for instance, we use like dynamine that
574
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:11.880
hits faster than even caffeine. It hits you within five
575
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.799
minutes of drinking or drink.
576
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.920
You'll fill it, right, bro, I can verify this the
577
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.519
very first time. So you had your bucked up bus
578
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:22.160
outside in Salt Lake. We have a sick clip of ax.
579
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:22.480
Yeah.
580
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.799
They fucking gave us the coolest a little tour over
581
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:28.559
it actually, and we told him that recently just sponsored us.
582
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:30.400
Like oh heck yeah, I do heck yeah. They brought
583
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.640
us in.
584
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.319
We did our thing right, We like they loaded us
585
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.359
up like what me and Swiss had like nine or
586
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.920
ten bucked up We drank three of those during that shows,
587
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:43.279
I left that show shaking bro I said, what's wrong
588
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:43.799
with me? No?
589
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.920
Me too? Like by time KA was a fight and
590
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:50.920
it was like, hey man, I looked at him, I said,
591
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:52.519
what is this greed workout in a cando?
592
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.119
Yeah, it's it's got a lot of caffeine. So those
593
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.359
black cans have three hundred milligrams of caffeine. But it
594
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.319
also has things like alpha size, which is a registered
595
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.319
trademark ingredient to help with focus. And they actually have
596
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:08.880
tons and tons of studies.
597
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:10.400
So when you say that, are you the only p
598
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.160
Are you the only company that uses that particular ingredient?
599
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:17.680
You know what, I'm pretty focused on just what we do.
600
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.240
I haven't really looked at what the competition's doing. I
601
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:24.640
think they use other ingredients that are pretty similar, but
602
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:27.160
I don't I'm not sure that they use alpha size.
603
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:29.480
Sure, I want to say this.
604
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:31.799
So I was stopping in one of my coworkers this
605
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:36.559
morning and she drinks, she drinks you know, monsters or whatever,
606
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.519
and their big thing was the sodium.
607
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:42.720
This has zero grams of sodium.
608
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.880
Yet I've seen you look at the back of the can,
609
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:47.480
there's a whole lot of zeros that people like to.
610
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:49.160
See you know what I mean, I would love.
611
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:51.799
To see the back of that can exactly exactly like
612
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:54.720
people want, you know, they want something that really gives
613
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:57.240
them focus and energy. And they don't want to drink
614
00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:59.960
their calories. They don't want to have like two thousand
615
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.839
and calories, you know what I mean, so you know,
616
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.079
drinking them with soda or with another drink. You know,
617
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.920
even those the monsters, they have quite a bit of
618
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.119
calories in them, you know.
619
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:20.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh Billboard, our buddy Rico, he says
620
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:22.359
that bucked Up saved his life. He was driving home
621
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.799
from Vegas from Salt Lake that that Salt Lake trip.
622
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:27.319
Said he almost fell asleep and he had one bucked
623
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:28.640
up and he said he got home because of it.
624
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.680
That's awesome.
625
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.759
That's pretty rad, man, that's all get for real.
626
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:38.839
Yeah, because he got he got bucked up and stayed
627
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:39.599

There go the second time my life. Awesome.
629
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:46.680
I'm going to capture that one.
630
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.039
Yeah, it's awesome, man.
631
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.359
Like.
632
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.599
Look, you know, the drinks really work. They really give
633
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.519

and every year we go out to this event and
674
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:58.799
they are all the different ingredients that are coming out
675
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.480
on the market, and all we're trying to do is
676
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.799
find the diamonds in the roughs, the ones that have
677
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.000
really good clinicals behind them, and be able to use
678
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.559
them in our new formulas. So we like to use
679
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:12.880
the latest and greatest ingredients in our products.
680
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.480
So are you when you're at those conferences, are you
681
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:18.440
looking for like independent, newer people that are coming up
682
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.440
that you may use their product and buy it from them.
683
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:24.440
Yeah, I mean it all depends. It depends on what
684
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.240
type of clinicals they've done, what type of studies, and
685
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:31.640
what the ingredient actually does. But I remember, way back
686
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:34.359
in the day, we were using l Argentine and we
687
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.640
actually for l Argentine Plus. We went to supply Side
688
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:41.240
West and we actually ran into this booth that had
689
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:44.640
a ten by ten booth and hardly anybody knew who
690
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:48.240
they were, and we started using their ingredient in our
691
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:51.200
l argentine product. And then we used it and bucked up.
692
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:55.039
It was called estrogen and octogen. We used their ingredients
693
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:57.599
in our product, and they blew up because if we
694
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.680
were putting it in ours, so was everybody else. Yeah,
695
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:04.039
and now they're a huge, huge company, So they've done
696
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.279
really well once we started using their their ingredients.
697
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.440
So you're you're growing other businesses along the way. But
698
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.639
that's as awesome, man. I like that you're not scared
699
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:15.719
to make moves with other businesses. It's so cool, man.
700
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:18.719
Some people are so greedy when it comes to their
701
00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:21.039
personal aspects and they just don't want to do business
702
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.280
with others. I like that. I like when I see
703
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.199
other companies doing that because they often build off each other.
704
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.719
Yes, so I have so question for you guys. Yes, sir,
705
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.800
back to b KFC. What's been the best fight that
706
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.360
you've watched on b KFC with.
707
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.519
My one of my I mean my personal favorite. I
708
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:47.480
think was watching guy get his belt from Louly.
709
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:49.960
For personal reasons, just for personal reasons.
710
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:55.440
Hey tis our boy. Man's one of our best friends, dude,
711
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:58.079
so seeing him win the belt was very much special.
712
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:01.800
The best man you know.
713
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:04.480
Another cool Montana and I just want to shout him
714
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:07.400
out real quick is Ryan the Electric City Strangler Man.
715
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:11.840
He's up the feast, dude. But I'll go off that.
716
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.599
So my favorite fight, I think the best fight. I
717
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.360
won't say it's my favoriteite, but I think the best
718
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:19.559
scrap that I've seen m BKFC. People can, yeah, people
719
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:22.320
can reference it, go back watch it. M v P
720
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:26.599
versus Mike Perry insanity, dude.
721
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:29.519
And too bad none of us got to witness it
722
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:30.159
in person.
723
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:31.800
You know, we never got to see that life because
724
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:36.239
it was overseas but that fight it was incredible. Man.
725
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:37.800
Yeah, that was the second time they ever went to
726
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:39.320
the sixth round. It was badass.
727
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:39.880
I love it.
728
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:40.800
It was man.
729
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.400
What about you, man, You've been to a couple events.
730
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.719
I heard you mentioned that you really like Denver the
731
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:53.639
first because the card was freaking out of this way. Oh, Ryan,
732
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:57.920
pops up, look at that. That's crazy, dude. No, I
733
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.239
heard you mentioned Denver was a special. What did you
734
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:01.760
think about Knucklemania though.
735
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.679
Yeah, I mean, look, I think my favorite ones have
736
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:09.559
been with Eddie Alvarez, both fights when he fought Chad
737
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:12.039
Mendez and then when he fought Mike Perry here in
738
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:16.920
Salt Lake. I think those two guys dropping bombs and
739
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:17.679
it was.
740
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:18.400
That's been real.
741
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:21.039
Eddie just about had Mike in those early rounds.
742
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:22.280
Man, he was banging.
743
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.440
Dud was close.
744
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:27.280
He was so close, but Mike's so strong, dude. That
745
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.519
was hardless that card, you know.
746
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:32.840
And I also, you know, we sponsored Mike and Mike
747
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:33.920
Perry just came out.
748
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:34.119
You know.
749
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:36.079
I was on that podcast that was here in Utah.
750
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.000
Shout out to knuckleholl that was an excellent show. I'll
751
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:40.599
be for real, dude. I watched the whole thing in
752
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:41.159
his entirety.
753
00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:44.239
It was funny. I engage. I like the stage presence.
754
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:46.760
It wasn't like a podcast. It was like almost like
755
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:49.840
a Ted Talk. You guys had a stage setup, backdrop.
756
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:50.599
It was cool.
757
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:50.840
Man.
758
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:51.760
I really enjoyed it.
759
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.079
Yeah, it was pretty sick. And you know, I got
760
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:56.199
to know Mike Perry on a whole different level because
761
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:58.800
we got to hang out. The dude is a great guy.
762
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:02.599
He's funny. We're so funny. Yeah, and you know we
763
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.000
have that punching machine in there, and he's just like
764
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:08.880
a competitive dude. Man, he is so comp What.
765
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:09.480
He max at?
766
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:11.000
Yeah, what do he max at? Oh?
767
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:13.159
Well, the one hit I think it was like eighty
768
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:16.000
five thousand or something like that, eighty four thousand, eighty
769
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.119
five thousand. But man, he's just a competitive guy. And
770
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.039
I love it because he's just like, I'm not going
771
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.719
to back down, and I'm like, bro, don't hurt your wrist.
772
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.199
We want to get a punching machine in this studio
773
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.280
because we cover fighting so much and we have a
774
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:34.960
lot of fighters in this It's just such a good content.
775
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.519
We're waiting eventually when we have the Bunny. We want
776
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:40.280
to get one bad we have.
777
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:43.039
We have one, and dude, it's worth all the money
778
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:45.760
because they come in and it's just really good entertainment,
779
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:46.320
you know what I mean.
780
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:48.960
Yes, and the content that would get out of it, dude,
781
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:51.199
just because the fight scene, it'd be so fun.
782
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:52.679
What city was that recorded in?
783
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:55.960
That's insult like like it was in American forking at
784
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.559
our warehouse.
785
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.280
Oh okay, Knucklug came to you guys or that where
786
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:00.800
they're located.
787
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:03.480
So knuckle Hub is local, So they're just right around
788
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:05.800
the corner from us, and so we just as soon
789
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.639
as they were there at the event and they asked, Hey,
790
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:10.440
can you guys come and do a podcast? And we
791
00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:13.239
said sure, and they were They're literally ten minutes away.
792
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:15.920
So oh, I thought they were out of LA this
793
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:19.519
whole time, and I thought they were out of Miami, so, I.
794
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:21.599
Mean, I didn't know what was going on.
795
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:23.840
Well that's cool, man, that's what they have a pretty
796
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:25.559
cool Come on, man, they have really good production.
797
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:26.400
I'll give it to that team.
798
00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:29.760
Yeah. You know, they actually use a cool studio and
799
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.280
it has this big led wall that's why the big
800
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:35.239
knuckle Hub in the background and everything, and it actually
801
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:38.119
does really well. They had that, you know, big time
802
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:39.199
led screen.
803
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.079
So it looks like, man I did. I didn't that
804
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.159
was the rented's base or if that was their home base,
805
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:45.119
but it was cool looking.
806
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:48.840
Yeah. I like that they shoot all of their content
807
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:51.000
there and so they can put different things in the
808
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:52.920
background and everything. So it is cool.
809
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:55.480
So you've been a busy man.
810
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:58.039
I keep a close eye on you and not know
811
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.599
Stocker is way, but I do watch it so a lot,

00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.559
So well, that's kind of what I want to I
815
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:12.719
want to ask you, man, like, what is the most
816
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.320
exciting thing you've done in the last couple of years?
817
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:19.000
Man, Well, guys like I get to meet some of
818
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.760
the best guys, you know, these big influencers and stuff,
819
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:27.039
and I just I just like seeing who they are
820
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.400
as a person. You get to see behind the scenes
821
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:33.199
who they are, so you get to know their story
822
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:37.039
and and what made them you know, super popular and everything,
823
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.800
and just get to hang with different people, and you know,
824
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:44.440
it's really great to line up with like another growing
825
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:48.119
company like BKFC. When we first got involved with BKFC,
826
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.159
you know, we were like, hey, we're taking this bet,
827
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.679
but they're growing just as fast as we are, you.
828
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:57.480
Know, and you with the match Made in Heaven, it
829
00:39:57.559 --> 00:39:58.559
really was truly.
830
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.679
Yeah, it's like, you know, like I said, b KFC
831
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:07.159
to Bucked Up, like you know Monster is to UFC,
832
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:10.960
it's just the same. We're it's awesome to be growing
833
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:14.159
with with BKFC, and they're really a great, great company
834
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:17.000
to work with, and they bend over backwards for us.
835
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:20.480
I really like how you also sponsor like.
836
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.920
Extreme sports folks, because that that video you posted what
837
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:28.599
two days ago, I was, dude, that was.
838
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.679
Bad ass, Like, oh, that that was an awesome I
839
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.199
had a question loaded that's going to play exactly off
840
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.079
of that. I didn't even know you had that loaded.
841
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.880
My question is is were you going to take that
842
00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:42.599
route like Red Bull and start doing more stuff like that.
843
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:45.800
Yeah, we're going to start doing some more extreme type
844
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:50.480
sport content, and you know, it's just you know, look,
845
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:52.679
Red Bull's now a marketing company.
846
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:55.039
Not necessarily one of the best in the world.
847
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:56.719
But they're the best in the world. And you know,
848
00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:59.000
we were just reading the other day where they spend
849
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:04.400
thirty percent of their revenue towards marketing. I mean, they're
850
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:09.119
spending hundreds of millions of dollars in marketing their brand,
851
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:11.800
and the best way is to get people to to
852
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:13.039
watch is to do these.
853
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:17.519
Extreme you know, it's awesome, it's so entertaining, it's.
854
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:20.480
So entertaining, and so we're we're that's you know, we've
855
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:23.480
always been interested in helicopters and stuff, but this is
856
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:25.400
kind of our way of just kind of doing some
857
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:26.360
extreme stuff.
858
00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:27.519
And I.
859
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:29.679
Like the UH.
860
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.400
I do like the way that Red Bull started off,
861
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:35.679
you know with uh filling the mty empty or the
862
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:38.400
dumpsters with empty cans to make it, you know, get
863
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:39.280
it subliminally out.
864
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:42.400
That's one of the smartest. That's a story.
865
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:43.159
I know.
866
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.119
They used to fill dumpsters in like New York and stuff,
867
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:47.000
so wh people would walk by, You're like, what is.
868
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.719
That a lot of Red Bull?
869
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:49.239
Yeah?
870
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:51.320
That is crazy.
871
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.119
They were just crazy, freaking angle dude.
872
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:57.719
Yeah, so, like you know, the cans would be basically
873
00:41:57.840 --> 00:41:59.840
just printed and throwing in the garbage, never filled.
874
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:02.800
Back to BKFC in your relationship, I want to say,
875
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:05.639
no offense to mom and Pa, but the name bucked
876
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.840
up and BKFC just go to catter Way too, good man.
877
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:12.400
Till the first couple of years. My parents would never
878
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:14.760
say it. They would say, hey, my boys own a
879
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:18.119
supplement company. Now they go, hey, my boys are bucked up,
880
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:22.320
you know. Now they're able to slides off the tongue
881
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:23.199
a little easier now.
882
00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:29.000
So yeah, so how does consumer feedback play into play
883
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:30.079
in the product development?
884
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:35.880
So, believe it or not, we have eighty thousand ambassadors
885
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:40.199
at this point people, or it is eighty thousand ambassadors
886
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:43.119
and just like you guys, and what we do is
887
00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:47.280
we post all the time on our Facebook page and
888
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:49.920
we ask them all the time, hey, what should we
889
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.840
come out with next? Or what can we do to improve,
890
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:57.480
you know, on a certain product, and they basically tell
891
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:00.840
us what to do. You know, there was one time
892
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:03.159
where I said, hey, what are we going to launch next?
893
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.679
You know bars shots? Uh, you know, energy drinks? And
894
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:09.679
they told us energy drinks. And that's why we went
895
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:12.719
down the path and started launching energy drinks and.
896
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.039
We freaking love them that. I just love the enery drinks.
897
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:16.320
And also, is that how you came up with the
898
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:17.239
bucked up shots?
899
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:21.719
Yeah? And so look, I said, the shot has to
900
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:26.079
be something that's different, it has to be differentiated. We
901
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:29.519
have to differentiate ourselves because there's so many people that
902
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:33.679
have tried to go after, you know, five hour Energy
903
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:37.199
and it's never been successful. But with the different packaging,
904
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:38.199
the way it looks.
905
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:40.480
And I was going to ask you whose ideal was
906
00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:41.440
the shotgun show.
907
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:44.800
It was actually mine. So I actually got it. I
908
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:46.880
actually went and got it developed. I did all the
909
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:49.480
R and D and said, hey, this is what I want,
910
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.239
this is what I wanted to look like. I contacted
911
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.199
a company and we we modeled it all out and
912
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:58.880
came came to fruition. Now we're selling like six or
913
00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:03.320
seven hundred thousand those every single month, and every month
914
00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:04.480
it's growing. The shot.
915
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:06.760
You'll be happy to know that you see him on
916
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:08.480
our counters you at the gas stations.
917
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.840
Shots are tough because you know they've five hour Energy
918
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:19.119
has been the staple, but we're actually competing you. We're
919
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:21.719
doing about eighty five percent of what five hour Energy
920
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:22.079
is doing.
921
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:25.079
So wow, congratulations with them.
922
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:29.800
That's about they're so unique. No, absolutely, yeah, that that
923
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:31.239
that's a good start.
924
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:34.920
Pushing it really hard to on buck shot because.
925
00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:35.519
You just did that again.
926
00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:38.159
You want you do that pretty often about what should
927
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:39.960
we do this that or that? You know what I
928
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:42.360
mean take polls on your on your story.
929
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:44.360
Have you had any time with Connor?
930
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:47.519
Yeah, I've had a little bit of time with Connor.
931
00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:56.480
No, I just just in general, it's been really cool
932
00:44:56.559 --> 00:44:59.199
his presence in BKFC. We did get to meet him
933
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:01.039
in Sturgis. This is what I bring it up and
934
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:04.119
he shouted out the bus world. It was a really
935
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:06.639
cool I was. I was in an interview actually with
936
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:11.960
Sean Wheelock and Ben Rothwell and Connor comes walking by
937
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:14.360
all of a sudden, he gets he gets in the conversation,
938
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:16.840
he looks at us, he reads my hoodies. Hey man,
939
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:17.920
it's the bus World.
940
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:22.760
I was like, so I saw you guys video in it,
941
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.000
so it's awesome. So yeah, he's he's great, and he's
942
00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:27.920
a he's a really good dude. And you know what,
943
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:32.079
it's just making b KSC that much bigger, having that
944
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:35.679
announcement where he bought into b k C and is
945
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:38.000
now one of the owners of bks that's huge.
946
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:43.199
Jwani just recently said that it's his favorite combat sports
947
00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:45.519
right now. He says it's hard not to watch b KFC.
948
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.079
Anything Connor touches is gonna blow up.
949
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:59.119
Yeah, out there like uh Connor's exactly who Connor is though,
950
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:01.800
and if I could say anything about him, everything.
951
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:04.639
That you've seen is for real, dude, that is that guy?
952
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:05.480
What you get?
953
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:08.840
Yes, sir man, that's one aspect that I took away
954
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:09.280
from Connor.
955
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:10.880
I walked away. I was like, that guy is.
956
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:11.679
Really that guy?
957
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:12.039
Dude?
958
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:15.840
My next product I want to try is you guys
959
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:18.000
got in with that uh that root beer?
960
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:20.320
Yeah? Root beer flavor.
961
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:21.599
Yeah, I'm gonna try.
962
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:23.960
We put some sodium benzoid in it so that it
963
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:28.400
actually physicis, so it's it almost tastes like, you know,
964
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:31.280
like root beer that hits your hits your tongue. So
965
00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:32.000
it's really good.
966
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:35.400
So one thing you haven't talked about is your incredible
967
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:41.199
line of apparel. You have quality athletic ware and I
968
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:46.199
personally love everything that you guys have put out apparel wise.
969
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:49.159
You have cool designs and your quality of tea shirts.
970
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:50.760
I'm a big collar guy. I'm gonna tell you that
971
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:54.320
right now. I don't like a collar that stretches out
972
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:55.360
or looks dangly.
973
00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:58.840
I love your I love your clothing.
974
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:00.960
It is some top notch.
975
00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:03.039
Oh, can we talk? Can we talk about those his
976
00:47:03.159 --> 00:47:04.280
and hers sets? That just drop.
977
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:04.760
Yeah.
978
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.039
Yeah, you have a fallwear that is coming.
979
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:09.239
Out right, Yeah, we have a fallwear set, a whole
980
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:12.840
collection of of apparel, and so guys, you know what,
981
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:17.360
we don't necessarily like apparel, but it's part of you
982
00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:21.079
know what I mean. We we actually did about twelve
983
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:23.880
million dollars last year just on apparel. But we you know,
984
00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:26.920
I don't know if I care for small, medium, large,
985
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.760
extra large, double X, triple X. You know, it gets
986
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:35.800
a lot, you know, but apparel is part of the lifestyle.
987
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:37.599
It's part of the brand.
988
00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:41.039
And people are proud to wear you're you're Yeah, they're
989
00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:43.800
proud to wear bucked up, especially if they're using a product.
990
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:45.280
Yeah, me too. They're all over the peak.
991
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.519
This is why I wanted to mention it because you
992
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:50.159
see a lot of your gear here in Great Falls.
993
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:53.519
Wow, that's awesome. That's hay, you know, and and and
994
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:57.599
look people will wear it's just the logo. We actually
995
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:01.199
don't even put bucked up anywhere on our apparel.
996
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.000
We just do was that on purpose?
997
00:48:03.599 --> 00:48:05.800
Yeah, because we want to be like Nike, Right, So
998
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:09.559
Nike can't say Nike. Most of their shirts don't say
999
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:10.119
Nike on it.
1000
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:10.559
Yeah.
1001
00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:13.320
The logo and if it does say Nike, it just
1002
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:16.519
says Nike and it doesn't have the Yeah.
1003
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:21.840
Go ahead, yeah, real quick, real quick. There there is
1004
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.840
a company called bucked Up Apparel and they never bought
1005
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:28.280
bucked up dot com and they and they have the
1006
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:31.559
trademark rights, and so we can't ever put bucked up
1007
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:34.960
just bucked up. We can actually use bucked up dot
1008
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:36.719
com or get bucked.
1009
00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:38.920
Up or they won't budge on you. You you can't
1010
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:41.599
buy them out. And that's why we tried that on
1011
00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:42.519
Instagram product.
1012
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:46.119
Hey, we've tried. We've tried, actually and we've we've made
1013
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:49.199
them offers, but once attorneys get involved, it gets a
1014
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:51.519
little hairy. And that's that's that.
1015
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.039
So since you wanted to give us some hints, I'm
1016
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:56.639
gonna give you some exclusive news that we've never really dropped.
1017
00:48:56.719 --> 00:49:00.480
We bought our first domain recently. We have the weekly
1018
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:03.880
Bus dot com and we're in process of making our
1019
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:06.480
first website and we're gonna be shifting gears into that
1020
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:08.199
and it's really exciting, man.
1021
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:10.599
We've been wanting to do that as a week girl.
1022
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:12.480
Are you gonna sell things on your site?
1023
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:14.119
Yeah, well, we got merchant stuff.
1024
00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:16.039
We have a couple of people that have plugged this
1025
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:19.360
up on merch, and we were we had a partnership
1026
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.280
with Guerrilla Warfare, but they ended up stop doing apparel
1027
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.960
because he focused more on managing fighters and stuff. Yeah,
1028
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:30.239
but we we will probably bring merch back on on
1029
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:32.239
a like a ship to ship basis, but not like
1030
00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:34.239
a warehouse type of thing. Yeah.
1031
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:38.599
Hey, so guys, I believe it or not, I'm actually
1032
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:42.679
on a trip and we're ready to head out for dinner.
1033
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:46.199
But I appreciate you guys having me on your show.
1034
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:49.280
Great to meet all you guys, and I love your energy,
1035
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:52.519
and let's hook up next time you guys come to town.
1036
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:58.000
We're gonna come. We're coming to see you, just specially especially.
1037
00:49:57.679 --> 00:49:58.679
For Bucked Up the Boys.
1038
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:01.400
And are you also bringing Kai while you're at it?
1039
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:07.519
So, he hoped so and paddles. Okay, you before you
1040
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:08.519
leave to say one thing?
1041
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:10.559
Can I get you to say it's the bus world.
1042
00:50:11.599 --> 00:50:13.000
It's the bus world boys?
1043
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.559
And then I just have one for you. What advice
1044
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:18.159
would you give it?
1045
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:21.239
An aspiring entrepreneur entering the health and wellness industry.
1046
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:27.000
So, so, if I had it all over again, I'd
1047
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:32.239
probably start off hiring people that have experience in this industry.
1048
00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:35.280
You know, we kind of were. We made a few
1049
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:37.440
mistakes here and there. We were just willing to work
1050
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:40.599
hard to get through them. But if I had it
1051
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:43.360
all over again, I would hire the people with experience
1052
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.800
and not be afraid to pay those guys, because those guys,
1053
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:49.840
they may cost a lot, but they make you so
1054
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:52.599
much more money in the long run. So I would
1055
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:56.159
hire somebody with experience. That would probably be my you know,
1056
00:50:56.320 --> 00:51:01.480
my number one you know advice or suggestion is starting
1057
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:02.360
this supplement company.
1058
00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:06.800
Okay, yes, sir, before you leave, we can't really end
1059
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:09.079
the episode until we drop our sponsors, and we do

It's bus water bust through well bus fools stay true
2
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.880
to kill them. The states foods and some brothers stay
3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:17.879
set in the mood, but they wanted funky rohns from
4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:19.879
the brother so cool trying to check the box and
5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.960

00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.920
first to declare our ratings checking up check out. I'm
8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.280
checking it twice on the weekly. I'm busting because busting
9
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.079
is life. If you don't know, now you do, though,
10
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.079
you should keep game to be cool though, because your
11
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.159
part is crucial, So get on the movement. If you
12
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.640
ain't busting, don't know what you're doing, wasting your time
13
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:41.240
and ignoring the truest some of the realists. They greatly
14
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.399
influenced the Kings in Montana creating a movement scrapping or
15
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.920
wrapping or laughing and erecting. It really don't matter because
16
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.200
this is our passion. We busting and trusting. It really
17
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.079
is something. When it comes to our family, you know
18
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.359

Ryan Gardner, Welcome to the Show's up, Get bucked up boys, Get.
33
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.640
Martana loves to get fucked up.

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.079
But we always inergy guys.
35
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.640
Ryan a long time in the making, My man, I'm
36
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.879
so excited to have you on. Well, I'm happy to
37
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.879
be on guys, first and foremost. You know, we have
38
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.120
a tradition on the show. Everyone that comes on the
39
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.319
show that's never been on the show before, we like
40
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.400
to have them introduce themselves. So I'm gonna ask the
41
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.879
question and let you run with it, my man. Who
42
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:20.479
is Ryan Gardner?
43
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.240
Guys, I'm just a regular guy that was born in Clearfield, Utah,
44
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.039
born and raised on a farm. And now I just
45
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.000
got lucky in a lot of aspects. I worked hard,
46
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.919
and now I'm the CEO of Bucked Up, where a
47
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.759
sports nutrition company and energy drink company, and we're gonna
48
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.879
sell about sixty million plus energy drinks this year.
49
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.639
Holy globally or is that national?
50
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.240
Yeah, it's it's nationally. Most all of our distribution is
51
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.479
done nationally. But we are starting to expand internationally, like,
52
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.960
for instance, we just opened up Canada.
53
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.520
So I seen your new cans. You dropped new cans
54
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.439
that were in Spain too, didn't you.
55
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.840
Yeah, basically there were. We've dropped a few little clabs
56
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.199
and limited time only flavors and stuff like that.
57
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.599
So I can say that you're not just a regular
58
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:14.159
man to us.
59
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.639
We do look up to you, especially as two brothers
60
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.680
who started a company as you and your brother did.
61
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.159
Yep, I have an identical twin brother. We pretty much
62
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.400
done everything our entire lives. The only time that we
63
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.879
were ever separated from our lives was when we served
64
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.919
our missions for our church. You know, we're from Utah,
65
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.199
so you know what type of church that is. But
66
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.639
we that's the only time we've been apart. We've run
67
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.000
bucked Up from the very beginning, started it, founded it,
68
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.879
and just keep pushing it.
69
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.800
I love I love the story of brotherhoods, you know,
70
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.319
coming together. And you know, because me and Lea we're
71
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.199
not twins, but you know, we're very much We very
72
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.400
much look different, we act different, but we act like twins.
73
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.879
For being six years separated. Yeah, I don't think a
74
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:57.759
lot of people would know that.
75
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.879
Yeah, I didn't know that either. I didn't know you
76
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:01.719
were that far apart.
77
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.800
Actually, yeah, yeah, I'm the older brother, but you wouldn't
78
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.199
know it. I'm more of the knucklehead. He's more of
79
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.639
the un the well rounded individual.
80
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:13.479
Do you guys get in fights like we do?
81
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.120
You know growing up we did, but as adults we
82
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.639
are so on this age, he's way wiser.
83
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.079
He might be right.
84
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.560
No, I want to get into the story of buck
85
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.800
Up man. Can can we get into a deep dive
86
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.920
of what was the vision? How did you and your
87
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.879
brother come up with the idea and what was the
88
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.240
what was the basis of how you got your name down? Yeah?
89
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.319
What inspired you to start an energy drink and supplement company?
90
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.319
Yeah? You know, you know, I mean I could go
91
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.079
all the way back where I can pretty much just
92
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.199
tell you real quickly. We had an affiliate network and
93
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.319
we were driving traffic to a whole bunch of people.
94
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.000
So people would come to us all the time and say, hey,
95
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.920
I got this product, will you drive traffic to my website?
96
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.439
And we would simple and go, yeah, we'll do that.
97
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.160
How much are you going to pay us per sell?
98
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:05.040
Yeah?
99
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.079
And then we would turn around to our publishers or
100
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.720
our affiliates and they would drive traffic and we would
101
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.519
tell So a guy would go, hey, I'll give you
102
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.720
forty dollars for this model, and we would just turn
103
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.600
around to our affiliate network and say, hey, we'll give
104
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:18.639
you thirty two dollars for every sale you get us.
105
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:20.879
So we were kind of like the brokers in the
106
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.360
middle oh start, but we started driving a lot of
107
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.600
traffic for people, and one of those a guy came
108
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.000
into our office and he had a product called l
109
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.000
RG nine plus, and by the time he walked out
110
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.720
about an hour and a half later, we owned fifty
111
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.439
percent of the company and we wanted to do the
112
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.240
business with him, and so we said, hey, we'll drive
113
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.920
all the traffic. We'll do the website and drive all
114
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.079
the traffic. You just make sure that the product is
115
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.639
in stock. And at the time, he was doing about
116
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.560
six or seven hundred dollars a day on this product.
117
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.120
And what ended up happening is after about four to
118
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.920
five weeks, we were doing about thirty five hundred dollars
119
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.720
a day on that same product.
120
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.079
Geez, let's go.
121
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.079
Though it was, it started taking off. Then we started
122
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.600
seeing that Google was rewarding people for an exact match domain.
123
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.120
So as somebody went to the Internet and typed in
124
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.600
and in, you know like largentine dot com, like l
125
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.600
argentine largentine dot com would pop to the top and
126
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.839
we saw that someone had that domain. They were at
127
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.319
the very top, but it was just full of information.
128
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.360
So I contacted the person who owned the domain name
129
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.920
and I said, hey, I would like to buy your domain,
130
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.600
and he goes, it's not for sale, and I simply said,
131
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.000
everything's for sale. How much he came back to He
132
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.120
came back to us and said, hey, it's twenty five
133
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.920
thousand dollars. I went to my brother and the other
134
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.199
guy and said, hey, it's twenty five grand, but I
135
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.160
think we'll rank number one is and will be the
136
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.480
first product to sell. Sure enough, we bought the domain
137
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.560
name and we ranked number one and well tons of product.
138
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.399
And if you don't think it was a gamble or
139
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.680
were you this that sure oh at the.
140
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.800
Time, we were kind of gambling with it. But what
141
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.519
we did is we were building out websites for everybody.
142
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.120
So we would buy an exact match domain and we
143
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.279
would get it ranking and we would sell off that
144
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.399
website really fast. So like, for instance, we bought Dui
145
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:25.199
Attorney Arizona, and if somebody typed in d ui so
146
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.959
smart man, so smart, Yeah, it would pop to the top.
147
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.439
And we would contact an Arizona Dui Attorney and say, hey,
148
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.240
we got this website and it's producing tons of leads.
149
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:36.399
It's going to be.
150
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.199
Twelve zy angle man.
151
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:43.120
That is so crazy, the power of domain names. Yeah.
152
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.959
Then we ranked really high for that l Arganine, that
153
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.000
larginine dot com. And then we read an article in
154
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.839
Sports Illustrated that said, dear Antler spray is banned in
155
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.839
Major League Baseball and we were like, what's dear antler spray? Right,
156
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.519
So what we did is we went to go Daddy,
157
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.680
We looked it up. Sure enough, it was available eight bucks.
158
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.560
We purchased it and we went and found a manufacturer
159
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.720
that can produce deer Antler spray. Now what deer Antler
160
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.600
spray is. They feel like it gives an athlete an edge.
161
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.519
And what you do is it's a sublingual spray and
162
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.399
it helps you recover really really quick from work. After
163
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.879
your workouts or if you have a torn muscle, you
164
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.120
can recover really quick. And we thought, oh, this is
165
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.160
another L large nine product, what do it be considered
166
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.600
like a PD So at one time, at one time
167
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.399
people were thinking that it was going to be a
168
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:41.559
band ingredient, and in fact, WATA World Anti Doping Agency
169
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.879
on the list at one time because it really contains
170
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.279
what's called IGF one now injectable IGF one, your levels
171
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.320
just go through the roof and you can recover really
172
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.120
really quick. But with deer Antler spray, it's undetectable and
173
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.519
it doesn't even you know, it just spikes it just
174
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.080
enough to help you recover or really quick. So so
175
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.000
so at the time, you know, people were like, Hey,
176
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.360
I don't know if this is this is good or not,
177
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.519
and we were. We we ended up going out and
178
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.399
buying thirty five hundred bottles.
179
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:21.759
Were just crazy, man. You know that that's a real gamble. Honestly, Yeah,
180
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.360
it was a real risk.
181
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.000
And so we ended up going and producing a bunch
182
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.360
of bottles and we thought it was another l large night.
183
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.559
But hardly anybody reads Sports Illustrated apparently, because no one
184
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.559
was buying the product. We were selling literally like ten
185
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.000
bottles a day, and so we were like, wow, what
186
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:44.039
are we gonna do. Well about eight months later, ray Lewis,
187
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.960
I don't know if you remember this, he got he
188
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.960
tore his tricep right before the Super Bowl.
189
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.120
Okay, and so that brings us wet to what two
190
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:57.759
thousand and thirty five? Oh, that's right, that's right.
191
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:02.799
Yeah. So so in Super Bowl week a guy pulls
192
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:04.759
out a receipt and says to ray Lewis, hey, I
193
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:09.200
show that you bought deer Antler spray. And everybody was like,
194
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.440
what's deer Antler spray? Well, we owned the domain name.
195
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.759
So guess where they all went? No way, dude, Yes,
196
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.399
and we sold all of our bottles in one day.
197
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:23.000
What dude, Dude sold all of our bottles within the
198
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:23.919
first half.
199
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.039
Of the day. You said, thirty five thousand bottles.
200
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.639
Right, you had thirty five hundred thirty bottles. We were
201
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.120
selling them for like ninety nine dollars a bottle.
202
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:33.639
Right, let's go, dude.
203
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.840
Though. It was really good. And then a couple of
204
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.919
days later, GNC contacts us and says, how fast can
205
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.440
you fulfill thirty thousand bottles? It may be banned in
206
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.759
professional sports, but it's not banned for everybody else. And
207
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.960
we were like, okay, and so we went out and
208
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.639
got fifty thousand bottles made and started cranking them out,
209
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:54.759
started selling.
210
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.519
And GNC partnered up with you, and they started pushing
211
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:57.879
them out.
212
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.039
Yeah, and GNC blasted out. They were selling, you know,
213
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.879
twenty five hundred bottles a week. It was going really
214
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.559
really up. Or this was before bucked up.
215
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.960
Okay, and so you established a relationship with GNC before
216
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.399
you even got your brand out.
217
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.159
There exactly exactly, so.
218
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.159
Spray and then what we crazy, that's so crazy to
219
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.879
think about, dude, that is crazy. The craziest product brought
220
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.440
you a crazy product as the partnership. Yeah, it's crazy.
221
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.799
So we decided we started going to expos with just
222
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.519
deer antler Spray, and we were looking around and we
223
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.879
were like, what is everybody selling here? And they're selling
224
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.759
they were selling a pre workout, and we were like,
225
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.600
what's the pre workout? We had never even tried a
226
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.240
pre workout before, so we started going around to It.
227
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.639
Didn't really makes sense, though, because when did it take off?
228
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.519
Like you started hearing everybody talk about pre like like
229
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.639
about ten years ago. Dum.
230
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.759
Yeah, it was like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, yeah, thou
231
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.399
and fifteen is when it was really coming on strong.
232
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:56.159
Yeah.
233
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.240
If you weren't, like, if you weren't into sports really
234
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.639
you were or going into GMC, you didn't really know
235
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:02.039
about it.
236
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:02.200
You know.
237
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.679
One thing about me and Levi that a lot of
238
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.519
people don't know is that we worked in the fitness
239
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.720
industry for like a while.
240
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.600
I did for a few years, and I was actually.
241
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.600
I was one of the lead membership salesmen for one
242
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.240
of the biggest franchises in the Northwest area, the Peak
243
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.720
Health and Wellness. Oh yeah, yeah, and I broke all
244
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.080
their records as one of their sales and they ended up, yeah,
245
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.320
they flew me out to fit Life in Oregon to
246
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.679
represent the whole company. I ended up putting an award
247
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:29.759
in the organ as well.
248
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.039
Yeah, awesome, awesome.
249
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:33.679
It was really cool that it gave me a really
250
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:35.960
big insight into the fitness world because that's not something
251
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.919
I have personally like try to dive into. But I
252
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.600
was around it during that time and I got to
253
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.639
see it all. You know what I mean.
254
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:42.159
I say, the.
255
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.360
Negative, the goods, the bads, the positives of products and people,
256
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.399
you know what I mean. So bucked up to me,
257
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.759
I know as one hundred percent legit because of the
258
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.559
fitness nuts here that was using it before I even
259
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.639
knew about you, really before you even linked up with BKFC,
260
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.039
and you know that brought you to us. I knew
261
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.679
about you prior to that because of the Peak.
262
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.399
And yeah, I got the front desk and I just
263
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.679
made a bunch of connections talking to everybody coming in
264
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:08.919
you know.
265
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.200
Yeah this networking Yeah, yeah, no, he networked our first
266
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.919
big episode with Jim Starr, the guy who did American Gladiators.
267
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.879
Yeah Laser yeah from the Age, one of our first
268
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.320
big episodes. And he landed that from networking at the.
269
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.159
Peak and we've gotten you know, we've got verbal confirmation.
270
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.840
It just has it happened yet of Reggie Watts as
271
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.200
well nice, Yeah, I mean because he's a great false
272
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.480
native as well. So like at the one where I
273
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.759
was working at, you know, he'd becoming in when Neilton Town,
274
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.159
so I'd see him and I'm like, hey, at first,
275
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.480
I wanted to be our first episode, but I just
276
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:41.320
didn't work that way.
277
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:42.480
It didn't work.
278
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.960
No, he's a busy guy though, every time he's here,
279
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.200
and he's a very family oriented man. He's always with
280
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.159
his mom, so and he's very famous. So when he
281
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.200
comes here, peace of mind, you know what I mean.
282
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.120
Yeah, So episodes have you been doing?
283
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.279
How many have we done? Last year we did sixty
284
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.639
four and we did one more in one a week.
285
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:04.559
The years prior to that we were up in the
286
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.039
probably seventies there. I mean, I think season three we
287
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:07.840
went like into.
288
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.960
The seventies and three I think we had forty five
289
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:12.639
to sixty somewhere in there as well.
290
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.799
This year we'll probably end about sixty again.
291
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:20.240
Yeah, we're pretty cont what stalls you know, the number,
292
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.519
because it would be more than that because we do
293
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.960
have so many guests that we have to, like we
294
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.480
literally have to shuffle guests around. Sometimes it's sometimes it's bad,
295
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.360
sometimes it's good. But it's the traveling. We traveled to
296
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.039
all these events, you know, and we're a team of
297
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.039
four and so that's all. That's all it is, and
298
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.840
that that comes down to the editing, everything, all the scheduling,
299
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.200
all the planning, everything comes down to four people.
300
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.799
So right now we're actually just working on getting our
301
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.080
projects back together so we can catch up so when
302
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:48.759
we come home that we.
303
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:50.159
Can just work on project at a time.
304
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.919
You know. Yeah, we traveled all all freaking summer, you know. Yeah,
305
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.039
we hit every spot that we told everyone that we
306
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.840
would and more. You know, we actually ended up getting
307
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.639
invited to a couple big events to host, Like we
308
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.000
hosted a Wrap in the Rivers, which was Montowna's biggest
309
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.039
hip hop festival, and we were just originally invited as
310
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.919
special guests celebrity appearances, and we ended up working it
311
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.480
as hosts on the on the big stage. So it
312
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.519
gave us a really big opportunity to get around all
313
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:16.799
the big stars. It was really cool.
314
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.720
Yeah, like I don't know if you know, like Dizney
315
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.639
Riot or Stevie Stone or anyone like that, but we
316
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.600
were on stage with them.
317
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.879
It was cool, nice, nice. Yeah, Well I remember meeting
318
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:26.960
you guys one of the first, you know, one of
319
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:31.360
the first BKFC events that we went to. Really yeah,
320
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.840
we ran into you guys pretty shortly after we got
321
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.320
involved with BKFC, So it just happened to work.
322
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.759
Out, and that was in La right, yeah, La.
323
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:45.080
Yeah. Well, I think I think we had hooked up earlier.
324
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.480
Did you guys go to the Denver fight?
325
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.600
We had sent our crew down there, and we had
326
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.799
two guys representing us down there, and they may have
327
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.679
approached you during that time, because I think you just
328
00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:59.840
signed us actually, and we were on a hunt for you,
329
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.519
and we sent a couple of our people to represent
330
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.720
us down there in Denver. I think they initially met
331
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.600
you there, and then we ended up meeting you in
332
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.200
Salt Lake and then in La yes, and.
333
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.679
Then in La yeah. Yeah. Well, you know what's crazy
334
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:18.120
is bucked up. We we hadn't done anything, We hadn't
335
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.519
really sponsored a whole lot of people or done a
336
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:25.639
big sponsorships, and BKFC was one of the very first
337
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.840
big sponsorships that we had done, and it just happened
338
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.120
to work out that. Right after we did the sponsorship
339
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.440
with BKFC, that very next fight, which was about two
340
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.840
weeks later, Connor McGregor showed up to the fight.
341
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.559
What a time to jump on man. You you said
342
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:46.320
it in the very beginning of this episode. You said,
343
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.639
I'm a man that's been extremely lucky. You did say
344
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.320
those words, man, and for you not only BKFC, it's
345
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.799
cool that you linked up with. We freaking love David Feldman, Mike,
346
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.320
David he is Man. We love him with all of
347
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.159
our heart. That's one of our brothers. Legit.
348
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.799
He really awesome guy. He's done for us outside behind
349
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:09.160
the scenes as well as matter.
350
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.920
Of fact, let's talk about it, but we never really
351
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.000
have talked about it. I'm gonna give a David Feldman
352
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.359
a huge, huge, huge shout out. I know that he's
353
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.599
not a big man to to like expose this stuff.
354
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.839
But our father passed away when we were at BKFC
355
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.839
in Miami recently sixty.
356
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.839
Two and sixty three, No sixty two was it sixty two?
357
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.519
But he passed away, and uh, you know, we're not
358
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.839
We're not, you know, financially like you know, super well off.
359
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.160
And it was an unexpected death, and David Feldman came
360
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.440
out of nowhere and helped pay for our father's funeral.
361
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.599
Wow, that's amazing.
362
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.119
He's an awesome, awesome, awesome man, and I will always
363
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.920
be forever loyal to David Felman. It's cool that you
364
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.880
guys linked up during that time and then Connor happened
365
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.319
to slip in.
366
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:53.440
I did not want to.
367
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.160
Get too far from your story though, bucked up. But
368
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.400
I had one question in the middle of all that
369
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.759
is what schooling or what you know? What's your background
370
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.559
that leads you into all of that knowledge? Because every
371
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.359
time you were speaking, I was keeping up with everything
372
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.400
you're preaching, because you're not only talking, but you're literally
373
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:13.920
teaching business to us.
374
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.200
Right now, are you asking like where you got the keys?
375
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:21.079
Just no, just all his knowledge in the chemical imbalances
376
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.440
for the body, all of it. You seem very well
377
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.720
versed into what you're talking about, and that's awesome.
378
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.720
Will you know, guys, I don't have a very big
379
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.240
background with schooling or anything like that. In fact, when
380
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.839
I went to college after I got back from my mission,
381
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.839
I went to a college called uv SC. It's now
382
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.559
UVU here in Utah, and our headquarters is right across
383
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:44.839
the street. I went there for about a year and
384
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.720
a half and I just said, hey, school is not
385
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.759
for me. And I actually went and started working on
386
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.480
a sales floor. I was really good at it. I
387
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.799
was doing sales and these people were giving us leads
388
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.000
and they would put put it on our desk and say, hey,
389
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.200
you got to call on these leads and you to
390
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.559
upsell them, and you're you're a setter. Well, I was
391
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.880
calling on these leads and I'm like, the guy who's
392
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:08.960
making the money is the guy producing the lead. So
393
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.640
guess what happened. A lead provider came in the door
394
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.799
and I started chatting with him, and I'm like, hey,
395
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.839
you're making good money. Let's go to the auction. I
396
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.519
had my dealer's license at the timeh and I said,
397
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.640
let's go to the auction and buy you a nice car,
398
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.160
like a Mercedes or something. He's like, I'm in well,
399
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.240
why we went to go buy him a car? I
400
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.599
asked him for a job. I'm like, hey, I want
401
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.200
to know how you're producing leads.
402
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.839
And I want and I said, I heard my Perry
403
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.759
say what was he saying? Shoot your shot, man, shoot
404
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:37.799
your shot? Ye?
405
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:41.759
And I asked the lead provider for a job and
406
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.000
he goes, yes, come and help me. I don't know
407
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.079
what I'm doing, but come help me. And then I
408
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.240
learned how to drive traffic online. And then I came
409
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.559
back up and I said, Jeff, we got to start
410
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:53.799
an affiliate network. And then that's when we got into
411
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:57.720
doing affiliate network stuff. And then and then, you know,
412
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.319
like I said, we were going to these expos and
413
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.680
we saw everybody selling a pre workout and we said, hey,
414
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.599
we need to come up with a pre workout, and
415
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.160
let's do it better than all of these guys. At
416
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.599
the time, they tasted like crap. Honestly, you could barely
417
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.200
get them down. And we said, let's come out with
418
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.039
the best tasting and best formula out on the market.
419
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.519
And we actually said, let's do it non proprietary. So
420
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.519
we said, hey, we're going to disclose everything in there,
421
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:28.079
and we would say, here's the ingredient we're putting in,
422
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.720
and here's the amount of that ingredient that we're using.
423
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:34.519
And people are like, you're crazy, sell your core opt
424
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.720
a nutrition bus in. They're all going to knock you off.
425
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.680
And we were like, let them beat us at marketing.
426
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:43.920
Let's see what they can do. Right, So in twenty sixteen,
427
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.519
we decided to start a company called bucked Up. We
428
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.000
went to the domain name, we looked it up. It
429
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.440
was available for fifteen hundred dollars and we were like,
430
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:57.960
that's really catchy. My parents absolutely hated it. They hated
431
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.640
bucked that because sounded too close of the F word.
432
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.119
Hey, man, I posted a story one time. I felt
433
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:07.920
really embarrassed, man, because I didn't know that I had
434
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.160
cuss words in it. And I put up it was
435
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.480
a song by Boozy and uh it's called bucked Up
436
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:21.160
and bro dude, I, I said, what what's going on? Man?
437
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.440
I was like, oh, no, we just signed our contract
438
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.480
like three hours ago.
439
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.960
Yeah, I had to. I had to pull that one
440
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:32.119
down pretty fast.
441
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:35.920
But now you know, we're the number one selling pre
442
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:39.759
workout on the market. Let's go, and we're coming for
443
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.839
for energy drinks. I mean, you know, we we just
444
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.240
signed a really big person in the m in m
445
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:54.519
M A a really really big dude. Yeah. We're gonna
446
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:57.319
be making the announcement here shortly. But it's awesome, and
447
00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:59.319
you know what, it's just gonna help us get all
448
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.519
the eyeballs we need help with brand awareness and getting
449
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.759
our brand out there. Even though we sell sixty you know,
450
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:10.839
sixty million energy drinks this year. I mean we're barely
451
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.599
touching and scratching the surface here.
452
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.680
So let's go to one twenty next year.
453
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:15.680
Yes, we do.
454
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.680
We need to. Let's go man Montana before actually, so
455
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.160
before January, I would say, actually, there was no bucked
456
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.319
up in Montana and then all of a sudden, it's
457
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:30.680
it's everywhere now, man, I would have to I'm happy
458
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.480
to say that we started seeing it pop up in
459
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.240
our gas stations and I can go right down to
460
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.240
my gas station out and get bucked up.
461
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:39.160
But we can buy four on the way to the studio.
462
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:39.720
You can do.
463
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:47.599
But order it to your house, you weekly. So let's
464
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.559
chip bucked up, very fuck up.
465
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.079
So so you know, guys, I came from working, born
466
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.480
and raised on a farm, and now I'm running a
467
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.079
company where we're doing a couple hundred million dollars. We're
468
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:03.920
doing really well, and you know, guys like you that
469
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.400
help support the brand. It's been awesome. We got to
470
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.359
meet a lot of people, and you know, we sponsored
471
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:14.240
Mike Perry b KFC. We have another big, big fighter that.
472
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:17.119
I want to know.
473
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:20.960
So it's the biggest guy in this sport, you know.
474
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:28.119
Don oh no, dude, it's gonna be, but it's good man, Like.
475
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.839
Life is good, and we're excited to see where bucked
476
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.200
up ghosts because I think this guy's the women at
477
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.599
this point.
478
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.559
So yeah, no, dude, your your guys' rise has been
479
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.799
so fun to watch and I'm so proud to be
480
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:42.240
part of it.
481
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.279
Thank you for giving us the faith and believing in us.
482
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.960
Man. People like you believing in us only bring us
483
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:52.759
up another level. Every time we think we hit a plateau,
484
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.039
like what.
485
00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:53.839
Can we do next?
486
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.720
You know, we met Connor McGregor, we flew coast to coast,
487
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.319
we're hanging out with you know. Every time we feel
488
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.240
like we plateau, people like you just like, nah, you
489
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:03.519
gotta go up again. Man.
490
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.400
Well, you guys are positive, you have great energy. Sky's
491
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.359
the limit for you guys as well. So that's great.
492
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:12.440
I have a real question, man, and it's more of interest.
493
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:14.160
What happened to the chopper?
494
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:18.759
I want to hear about it too.
495
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.839
So Danny Duncan came to town and believe or not,
496
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.400
we actually had a helicopter that went down there as
497
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.680
a student pilot and an instructor and they were practicing
498
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.240
auto rotates, you know, in crazy one hundred and five
499
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.920
degree weather. Yeah, it turned it off and it had
500
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:40.559
a mechanical failure where the engine is supposed to idle
501
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.400
when you take the power off, it actually shut off,
502
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:46.519
and so the instructor had to take over and land it.
503
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:50.920
They walked away scratch free, which is exactly what WOW
504
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.559
is designed to do. You know, if the power goes out,
505
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:58.400
you can basically just land it no problem. And that's
506
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:01.480
what happened. As he came down. It kind of the
507
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:05.680
the rotors came down and one of the rotors hit
508
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:08.039
the back end of the tail and cut it off. So,
509
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:10.920
you know, it was it was already done like that.
510
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:13.839
But when Danny Duncan came into town, he's like, hey,
511
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:15.559
I want to I want to do some stuff like
512
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.720
this with it. So uh yeah, you know, he made it.
513
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.000
He made it look like we did some damage to it,
514
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:25.799
but that wasn't us. And but it was fun. It
515
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:28.200
was good hanging with Danny Duncan. What I like about
516
00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:30.759
this is we get to meet a lot of great people.
517
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.119
I was just gonna ask, you know, uh uh how
518
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:33.920
you know what was it like?
519
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.160
Because Danny Duncan's such my son loved he's my son's
520
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.799
fifteen and loved Danny Dunky Man.
521
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:40.960
We have we have a Virginity Rocks Blake in our
522
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.799
house because of him.

525
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:52.240
a couple of days with us, just cruising around, hanging out.
526
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.440

00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:19.160
of fun.

So, hey, you got to shout out here. He's another

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:36.359

To he said much love from Ohio earlier.
543
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:42.039
Yes, sir appreciated Jay, thanks for all the support, and
544
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:44.319
I hope you do well and if you ever need
545
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.920
any help, let me know. There's plenty. There's plenty of
546
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:50.200
room in this market. There's you know, there's plenty of
547
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:52.720
room for other energy drinks as well.
548
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.960
So we feel that exact same way about other media companies.
549
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:58.200
We were the first in Montana, a pioneer of all
550
00:26:58.640 --> 00:26:59.799
podcasting basically, and.
551
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:01.839
You know, we're not going to say we're the first
552
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.880
podcast but this way, yeah, absolutely doing it the way
553
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:05.200
we did it.
554
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.839
Definitely the pioneers over here. And uh, we always feel
555
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.799
that same way. There's no competition, There ain't no, there's
556
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.000
no hard feelings about people doing the same thing, and
557
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.480
there's more than enough room in the market that we have.
558
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:20.680
Yeah, we had a couple other supplement companies you know,
559
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:24.200
in Utah as well, and we're all friendly with all
560
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:26.519
of them because you know, there's, like I said, there's
561
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.039
there's plenty to go around, and you know, even with
562
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:32.400
those guys, we'd be more happy to share with them
563
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.279
what we've learned and how we grew our business and
564
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:37.079
we were we would do the same thing for them,
565
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.519
so we'd tell them exactly what to do. So it's good.
566
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.079
So I got one, What are the key ingredients that
567
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:46.359
differentiate your products from the competitors.
568
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.480
That's a good question, that's a super good question.
569
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.359
Well, you know, look, we're not a soft drink company
570
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:54.880
like a Coke or a Pepsi that are trying to
571
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:58.960
come out with energy drinks. We're a sports nutrition company
572
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.279
and we use ingredients for that really helped with focus
573
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.000
and energy. So for instance, we use like dynamine that
574
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:11.880
hits faster than even caffeine. It hits you within five
575
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.799
minutes of drinking or drink.
576
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.920
You'll fill it, right, bro, I can verify this the
577
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.519
very first time. So you had your bucked up bus
578
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:22.160
outside in Salt Lake. We have a sick clip of ax.
579
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:22.480
Yeah.
580
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.799
They fucking gave us the coolest a little tour over
581
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:28.559
it actually, and we told him that recently just sponsored us.
582
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:30.400
Like oh heck yeah, I do heck yeah. They brought
583
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.640
us in.
584
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.319
We did our thing right, We like they loaded us
585
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.359
up like what me and Swiss had like nine or
586
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.920
ten bucked up We drank three of those during that shows,
587
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:43.279
I left that show shaking bro I said, what's wrong
588
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:43.799
with me? No?
589
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.920
Me too? Like by time KA was a fight and
590
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:50.920
it was like, hey man, I looked at him, I said,
591
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:52.519
what is this greed workout in a cando?
592
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.119
Yeah, it's it's got a lot of caffeine. So those
593
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.359
black cans have three hundred milligrams of caffeine. But it
594
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.319
also has things like alpha size, which is a registered
595
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.319
trademark ingredient to help with focus. And they actually have
596
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:08.880
tons and tons of studies.
597
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:10.400
So when you say that, are you the only p
598
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.160
Are you the only company that uses that particular ingredient?
599
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:17.680
You know what, I'm pretty focused on just what we do.
600
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.240
I haven't really looked at what the competition's doing. I
601
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:24.640
think they use other ingredients that are pretty similar, but
602
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:27.160
I don't I'm not sure that they use alpha size.
603
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:29.480
Sure, I want to say this.
604
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:31.799
So I was stopping in one of my coworkers this
605
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:36.559
morning and she drinks, she drinks you know, monsters or whatever,
606
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.519
and their big thing was the sodium.
607
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:42.720
This has zero grams of sodium.
608
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.880
Yet I've seen you look at the back of the can,
609
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:47.480
there's a whole lot of zeros that people like to.
610
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:49.160
See you know what I mean, I would love.
611
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:51.799
To see the back of that can exactly exactly like
612
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:54.720
people want, you know, they want something that really gives
613
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:57.240
them focus and energy. And they don't want to drink
614
00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:59.960
their calories. They don't want to have like two thousand
615
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.839
and calories, you know what I mean, so you know,
616
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.079
drinking them with soda or with another drink. You know,
617
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.920
even those the monsters, they have quite a bit of
618
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.119
calories in them, you know.
619
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:20.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh Billboard, our buddy Rico, he says
620
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:22.359
that bucked Up saved his life. He was driving home
621
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.799
from Vegas from Salt Lake that that Salt Lake trip.
622
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:27.319
Said he almost fell asleep and he had one bucked
623
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:28.640
up and he said he got home because of it.
624
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.680
That's awesome.
625
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.759
That's pretty rad, man, that's all get for real.
626
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:38.839
Yeah, because he got he got bucked up and stayed
627
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:39.599
up to get home.
628
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.799
There go the second time my life. Awesome.
629
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:46.680
I'm going to capture that one.
630
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.039
Yeah, it's awesome, man.
631
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.359
Like.
632
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.599
Look, you know, the drinks really work. They really give
633
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.519
you energy, they really give you focus. And that's just
634
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.559

I can verify about Bucked Up is it's a trusted brand.
641
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.559

really great innovative products, like a protein RTV that's on
648
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.279
its way. You know, we have you know, we're just
649
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:43.799
trying to expand the line a little bit more than
650
00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:47.119
what we have so far and hopefully, you know, we
651
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.359
can take over the market, not just in pre workout,
652
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:54.240
but other aspects and other categories with My wife.
653
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:57.119
Loves your Guys's protein the babe line. Yeah, my wife
654
00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:59.559
is a big she she orders it all the time.
655
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.240
That's what she consistently uses monthly in and out, and
656
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:05.839
she switches and yeah, she uses college and too. You

00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:11.599
She thinks it's the best tasting and it helps her.
659
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:15.680
So yeah, it's really good stuff, you know, And like
660
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.240
like you were saying, look, we have something almost for everyone.
661
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.839
We have organic mixed greens, we have multi vitamins, we
662
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.640
have gummies, we have you know, there's there's a whole
663
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:27.359
slew of things. I mean, of course, you have your
664
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.200
protein and your creatine and your pre workouts that are
665
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:32.160
really staples to fitness.
666
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:36.759
So so I'm gonna piggyback off that and say, how
667
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:38.440
do you stay up to date on the latest health
668
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:39.880
trends and ingredient innovations?
669
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:41.680
Yeah, what are you doing to prep yourself and kind
670
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:42.519
of move against the curve.
671
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:47.319
So we actually attend a conference called Supply Side West.
672
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:51.720
It's actually happening at the end of October in Las Vegas,
673
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:55.559
and every year we go out to this event and
674
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:58.799
they are all the different ingredients that are coming out
675
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.480
on the market, and all we're trying to do is
676
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.799
find the diamonds in the roughs, the ones that have
677
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.000
really good clinicals behind them, and be able to use
678
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.559
them in our new formulas. So we like to use
679
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:12.880
the latest and greatest ingredients in our products.
680
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.480
So are you when you're at those conferences, are you
681
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:18.440
looking for like independent, newer people that are coming up
682
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.440
that you may use their product and buy it from them.
683
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:24.440
Yeah, I mean it all depends. It depends on what
684
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.240
type of clinicals they've done, what type of studies, and
685
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:31.640
what the ingredient actually does. But I remember, way back
686
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:34.359
in the day, we were using l Argentine and we
687
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.640
actually for l Argentine Plus. We went to supply Side
688
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:41.240
West and we actually ran into this booth that had
689
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:44.640
a ten by ten booth and hardly anybody knew who
690
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:48.240
they were, and we started using their ingredient in our
691
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:51.200
l argentine product. And then we used it and bucked up.
692
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:55.039
It was called estrogen and octogen. We used their ingredients
693
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:57.599
in our product, and they blew up because if we
694
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.680
were putting it in ours, so was everybody else. Yeah,
695
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:04.039
and now they're a huge, huge company, So they've done
696
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.279
really well once we started using their their ingredients.
697
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.440
So you're you're growing other businesses along the way. But
698
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.639
that's as awesome, man. I like that you're not scared
699
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:15.719
to make moves with other businesses. It's so cool, man.
700
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:18.719
Some people are so greedy when it comes to their
701
00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:21.039
personal aspects and they just don't want to do business
702
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.280
with others. I like that. I like when I see
703
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.199
other companies doing that because they often build off each other.
704
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.719
Yes, so I have so question for you guys. Yes, sir,
705
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.800
back to b KFC. What's been the best fight that
706
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.360
you've watched on b KFC with.
707
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.519
My one of my I mean my personal favorite. I
708
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:47.480
think was watching guy get his belt from Louly.
709
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:49.960
For personal reasons, just for personal reasons.
710
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:55.440
Hey tis our boy. Man's one of our best friends, dude,
711
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:58.079
so seeing him win the belt was very much special.
712
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:01.800
The best man you know.
713
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:04.480
Another cool Montana and I just want to shout him
714
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:07.400
out real quick is Ryan the Electric City Strangler Man.
715
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:11.840
He's up the feast, dude. But I'll go off that.
716
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.599
So my favorite fight, I think the best fight. I
717
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.360
won't say it's my favoriteite, but I think the best
718
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:19.559
scrap that I've seen m BKFC. People can, yeah, people
719
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:22.320
can reference it, go back watch it. M v P
720
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:26.599
versus Mike Perry insanity, dude.
721
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:29.519
And too bad none of us got to witness it
722
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:30.159
in person.
723
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:31.800
You know, we never got to see that life because
724
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:36.239
it was overseas but that fight it was incredible. Man.
725
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:37.800
Yeah, that was the second time they ever went to
726
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:39.320
the sixth round. It was badass.
727
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:39.880
I love it.
728
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:40.800
It was man.
729
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.400
What about you, man, You've been to a couple events.
730
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.719
I heard you mentioned that you really like Denver the
731
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:53.639
first because the card was freaking out of this way. Oh, Ryan,
732
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:57.920
pops up, look at that. That's crazy, dude. No, I
733
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.239
heard you mentioned Denver was a special. What did you
734
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:01.760
think about Knucklemania though.
735
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.679
Yeah, I mean, look, I think my favorite ones have
736
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:09.559
been with Eddie Alvarez, both fights when he fought Chad
737
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:12.039
Mendez and then when he fought Mike Perry here in
738
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:16.920
Salt Lake. I think those two guys dropping bombs and
739
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:17.679
it was.
740
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:18.400
That's been real.
741
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:21.039
Eddie just about had Mike in those early rounds.
742
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:22.280
Man, he was banging.
743
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.440
Dud was close.
744
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:27.280
He was so close, but Mike's so strong, dude. That
745
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.519
was hardless that card, you know.
746
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:32.840
And I also, you know, we sponsored Mike and Mike
747
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:33.920
Perry just came out.
748
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:34.119
You know.
749
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:36.079
I was on that podcast that was here in Utah.
750
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.000
Shout out to knuckleholl that was an excellent show. I'll
751
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:40.599
be for real, dude. I watched the whole thing in
752
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:41.159
his entirety.
753
00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:44.239
It was funny. I engage. I like the stage presence.
754
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:46.760
It wasn't like a podcast. It was like almost like
755
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:49.840
a Ted Talk. You guys had a stage setup, backdrop.
756
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:50.599
It was cool.
757
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:50.840
Man.
758
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:51.760
I really enjoyed it.
759
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.079
Yeah, it was pretty sick. And you know, I got
760
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:56.199
to know Mike Perry on a whole different level because
761
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:58.800
we got to hang out. The dude is a great guy.
762
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:02.599
He's funny. We're so funny. Yeah, and you know we
763
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.000
have that punching machine in there, and he's just like
764
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:08.880
a competitive dude. Man, he is so comp What.
765
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:09.480
He max at?
766
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:11.000
Yeah, what do he max at? Oh?
767
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:13.159
Well, the one hit I think it was like eighty
768
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:16.000
five thousand or something like that, eighty four thousand, eighty
769
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.119
five thousand. But man, he's just a competitive guy. And
770
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.039
I love it because he's just like, I'm not going
771
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.719
to back down, and I'm like, bro, don't hurt your wrist.
772
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.199
We want to get a punching machine in this studio
773
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.280
because we cover fighting so much and we have a
774
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:34.960
lot of fighters in this It's just such a good content.
775
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.519
We're waiting eventually when we have the Bunny. We want
776
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:40.280
to get one bad we have.
777
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:43.039
We have one, and dude, it's worth all the money
778
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:45.760
because they come in and it's just really good entertainment,
779
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:46.320
you know what I mean.
780
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:48.960
Yes, and the content that would get out of it, dude,
781
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:51.199
just because the fight scene, it'd be so fun.
782
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:52.679
What city was that recorded in?
783
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:55.960
That's insult like like it was in American forking at
784
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.559
our warehouse.
785
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.280
Oh okay, Knucklug came to you guys or that where
786
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:00.800
they're located.
787
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:03.480
So knuckle Hub is local, So they're just right around
788
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:05.800
the corner from us, and so we just as soon
789
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.639
as they were there at the event and they asked, Hey,
790
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:10.440
can you guys come and do a podcast? And we
791
00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:13.239
said sure, and they were They're literally ten minutes away.
792
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:15.920
So oh, I thought they were out of LA this
793
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:19.519
whole time, and I thought they were out of Miami, so, I.
794
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:21.599
Mean, I didn't know what was going on.
795
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:23.840
Well that's cool, man, that's what they have a pretty
796
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:25.559
cool Come on, man, they have really good production.
797
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:26.400
I'll give it to that team.
798
00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:29.760
Yeah. You know, they actually use a cool studio and
799
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.280
it has this big led wall that's why the big
800
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:35.239
knuckle Hub in the background and everything, and it actually
801
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:38.119
does really well. They had that, you know, big time
802
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:39.199
led screen.
803
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.079
So it looks like, man I did. I didn't that
804
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.159
was the rented's base or if that was their home base,
805
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:45.119
but it was cool looking.
806
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:48.840
Yeah. I like that they shoot all of their content
807
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:51.000
there and so they can put different things in the
808
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:52.920
background and everything. So it is cool.
809
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:55.480
So you've been a busy man.
810
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:58.039
I keep a close eye on you and not know
811
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.599
Stocker is way, but I do watch it so a lot,
812
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:01.880
and I've.
813
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:03.719
Watched enough to know who the announcement is.
814
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.559
So well, that's kind of what I want to I
815
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:12.719
want to ask you, man, like, what is the most
816
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.320
exciting thing you've done in the last couple of years?
817
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:19.000
Man, Well, guys like I get to meet some of
818
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.760
the best guys, you know, these big influencers and stuff,
819
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:27.039
and I just I just like seeing who they are
820
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.400
as a person. You get to see behind the scenes
821
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:33.199
who they are, so you get to know their story
822
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:37.039
and and what made them you know, super popular and everything,
823
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.800
and just get to hang with different people, and you know,
824
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:44.440
it's really great to line up with like another growing
825
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:48.119
company like BKFC. When we first got involved with BKFC,
826
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.159
you know, we were like, hey, we're taking this bet,
827
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.679
but they're growing just as fast as we are, you.
828
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:57.480
Know, and you with the match Made in Heaven, it
829
00:39:57.559 --> 00:39:58.559
really was truly.
830
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.679
Yeah, it's like, you know, like I said, b KFC
831
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:07.159
to Bucked Up, like you know Monster is to UFC,
832
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:10.960
it's just the same. We're it's awesome to be growing
833
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:14.159
with with BKFC, and they're really a great, great company
834
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:17.000
to work with, and they bend over backwards for us.
835
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:20.480
I really like how you also sponsor like.
836
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.920
Extreme sports folks, because that that video you posted what
837
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:28.599
two days ago, I was, dude, that was.
838
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.679
Bad ass, Like, oh, that that was an awesome I
839
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.199
had a question loaded that's going to play exactly off
840
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.079
of that. I didn't even know you had that loaded.
841
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.880
My question is is were you going to take that
842
00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:42.599
route like Red Bull and start doing more stuff like that.
843
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:45.800
Yeah, we're going to start doing some more extreme type
844
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:50.480
sport content, and you know, it's just you know, look,
845
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:52.679
Red Bull's now a marketing company.
846
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:55.039
Not necessarily one of the best in the world.
847
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:56.719
But they're the best in the world. And you know,
848
00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:59.000
we were just reading the other day where they spend
849
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:04.400
thirty percent of their revenue towards marketing. I mean, they're
850
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:09.119
spending hundreds of millions of dollars in marketing their brand,
851
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:11.800
and the best way is to get people to to
852
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:13.039
watch is to do these.
853
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:17.519
Extreme you know, it's awesome, it's so entertaining, it's.
854
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:20.480
So entertaining, and so we're we're that's you know, we've
855
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:23.480
always been interested in helicopters and stuff, but this is
856
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:25.400
kind of our way of just kind of doing some
857
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:26.360
extreme stuff.
858
00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:27.519
And I.
859
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:29.679
Like the UH.
860
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.400
I do like the way that Red Bull started off,
861
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:35.679
you know with uh filling the mty empty or the
862
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:38.400
dumpsters with empty cans to make it, you know, get
863
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:39.280
it subliminally out.
864
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:42.400
That's one of the smartest. That's a story.
865
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:43.159
I know.
866
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.119
They used to fill dumpsters in like New York and stuff,
867
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:47.000
so wh people would walk by, You're like, what is.
868
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.719
That a lot of Red Bull?
869
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:49.239
Yeah?
870
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:51.320
That is crazy.
871
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.119
They were just crazy, freaking angle dude.
872
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:57.719
Yeah, so, like you know, the cans would be basically
873
00:41:57.840 --> 00:41:59.840
just printed and throwing in the garbage, never filled.
874
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:02.800
Back to BKFC in your relationship, I want to say,
875
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:05.639
no offense to mom and Pa, but the name bucked
876
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.840
up and BKFC just go to catter Way too, good man.
877
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:12.400
Till the first couple of years. My parents would never
878
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:14.760
say it. They would say, hey, my boys own a
879
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:18.119
supplement company. Now they go, hey, my boys are bucked up,
880
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:22.320
you know. Now they're able to slides off the tongue
881
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:23.199
a little easier now.
882
00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:29.000
So yeah, so how does consumer feedback play into play
883
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:30.079
in the product development?
884
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:35.880
So, believe it or not, we have eighty thousand ambassadors
885
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:40.199
at this point people, or it is eighty thousand ambassadors
886
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:43.119
and just like you guys, and what we do is
887
00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:47.280
we post all the time on our Facebook page and
888
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:49.920
we ask them all the time, hey, what should we
889
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.840
come out with next? Or what can we do to improve,
890
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:57.480
you know, on a certain product, and they basically tell
891
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:00.840
us what to do. You know, there was one time
892
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:03.159
where I said, hey, what are we going to launch next?
893
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.679
You know bars shots? Uh, you know, energy drinks? And
894
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:09.679
they told us energy drinks. And that's why we went
895
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:12.719
down the path and started launching energy drinks and.
896
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.039
We freaking love them that. I just love the enery drinks.
897
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:16.320
And also, is that how you came up with the
898
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:17.239
bucked up shots?
899
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:21.719
Yeah? And so look, I said, the shot has to
900
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:26.079
be something that's different, it has to be differentiated. We
901
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:29.519
have to differentiate ourselves because there's so many people that
902
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:33.679
have tried to go after, you know, five hour Energy
903
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:37.199
and it's never been successful. But with the different packaging,
904
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:38.199
the way it looks.
905
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:40.480
And I was going to ask you whose ideal was
906
00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:41.440
the shotgun show.
907
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:44.800
It was actually mine. So I actually got it. I
908
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:46.880
actually went and got it developed. I did all the
909
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:49.480
R and D and said, hey, this is what I want,
910
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.239
this is what I wanted to look like. I contacted
911
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.199
a company and we we modeled it all out and
912
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:58.880
came came to fruition. Now we're selling like six or
913
00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:03.320
seven hundred thousand those every single month, and every month
914
00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:04.480
it's growing. The shot.
915
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:06.760
You'll be happy to know that you see him on
916
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:08.480
our counters you at the gas stations.
917
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.840
Shots are tough because you know they've five hour Energy
918
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:19.119
has been the staple, but we're actually competing you. We're
919
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:21.719
doing about eighty five percent of what five hour Energy
920
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:22.079
is doing.
921
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:25.079
So wow, congratulations with them.
922
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:29.800
That's about they're so unique. No, absolutely, yeah, that that
923
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:31.239
that's a good start.
924
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:34.920
Pushing it really hard to on buck shot because.
925
00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:35.519
You just did that again.
926
00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:38.159
You want you do that pretty often about what should
927
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:39.960
we do this that or that? You know what I
928
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:42.360
mean take polls on your on your story.
929
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:44.360
Have you had any time with Connor?
930
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:47.519
Yeah, I've had a little bit of time with Connor.
931
00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:56.480
No, I just just in general, it's been really cool
932
00:44:56.559 --> 00:44:59.199
his presence in BKFC. We did get to meet him
933
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:01.039
in Sturgis. This is what I bring it up and
934
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:04.119
he shouted out the bus world. It was a really
935
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:06.639
cool I was. I was in an interview actually with
936
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:11.960
Sean Wheelock and Ben Rothwell and Connor comes walking by
937
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:14.360
all of a sudden, he gets he gets in the conversation,
938
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:16.840
he looks at us, he reads my hoodies. Hey man,
939
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:17.920
it's the bus World.
940
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:22.760
I was like, so I saw you guys video in it,
941
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.000
so it's awesome. So yeah, he's he's great, and he's
942
00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:27.920
a he's a really good dude. And you know what,
943
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:32.079
it's just making b KSC that much bigger, having that
944
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:35.679
announcement where he bought into b k C and is
945
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:38.000
now one of the owners of bks that's huge.
946
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:43.199
Jwani just recently said that it's his favorite combat sports
947
00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:45.519
right now. He says it's hard not to watch b KFC.
948
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.079
Anything Connor touches is gonna blow up.
949
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:59.119
Yeah, out there like uh Connor's exactly who Connor is though,
950
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:01.800
and if I could say anything about him, everything.
951
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:04.639
That you've seen is for real, dude, that is that guy?
952
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:05.480
What you get?
953
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:08.840
Yes, sir man, that's one aspect that I took away
954
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:09.280
from Connor.
955
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:10.880
I walked away. I was like, that guy is.
956
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:11.679
Really that guy?
957
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:12.039
Dude?
958
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:15.840
My next product I want to try is you guys
959
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:18.000
got in with that uh that root beer?
960
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:20.320
Yeah? Root beer flavor.
961
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:21.599
Yeah, I'm gonna try.
962
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:23.960
We put some sodium benzoid in it so that it
963
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:28.400
actually physicis, so it's it almost tastes like, you know,
964
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:31.280
like root beer that hits your hits your tongue. So
965
00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:32.000
it's really good.
966
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:35.400
So one thing you haven't talked about is your incredible
967
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:41.199
line of apparel. You have quality athletic ware and I
968
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:46.199
personally love everything that you guys have put out apparel wise.
969
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:49.159
You have cool designs and your quality of tea shirts.
970
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:50.760
I'm a big collar guy. I'm gonna tell you that
971
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:54.320
right now. I don't like a collar that stretches out
972
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:55.360
or looks dangly.
973
00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:58.840
I love your I love your clothing.
974
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:00.960
It is some top notch.
975
00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:03.039
Oh, can we talk? Can we talk about those his
976
00:47:03.159 --> 00:47:04.280
and hers sets? That just drop.
977
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:04.760
Yeah.
978
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.039
Yeah, you have a fallwear that is coming.
979
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:09.239
Out right, Yeah, we have a fallwear set, a whole
980
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:12.840
collection of of apparel, and so guys, you know what,
981
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:17.360
we don't necessarily like apparel, but it's part of you
982
00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:21.079
know what I mean. We we actually did about twelve
983
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:23.880
million dollars last year just on apparel. But we you know,
984
00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:26.920
I don't know if I care for small, medium, large,
985
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.760
extra large, double X, triple X. You know, it gets
986
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:35.800
a lot, you know, but apparel is part of the lifestyle.
987
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:37.599
It's part of the brand.
988
00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:41.039
And people are proud to wear you're you're Yeah, they're
989
00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:43.800
proud to wear bucked up, especially if they're using a product.
990
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:45.280
Yeah, me too. They're all over the peak.
991
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.519
This is why I wanted to mention it because you
992
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:50.159
see a lot of your gear here in Great Falls.
993
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:53.519
Wow, that's awesome. That's hay, you know, and and and
994
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:57.599
look people will wear it's just the logo. We actually
995
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:01.199
don't even put bucked up anywhere on our apparel.
996
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.000
We just do was that on purpose?
997
00:48:03.599 --> 00:48:05.800
Yeah, because we want to be like Nike, Right, So
998
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:09.559
Nike can't say Nike. Most of their shirts don't say
999
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:10.119
Nike on it.
1000
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:10.559
Yeah.
1001
00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:13.320
The logo and if it does say Nike, it just
1002
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:16.519
says Nike and it doesn't have the Yeah.
1003
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:21.840
Go ahead, yeah, real quick, real quick. There there is
1004
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.840
a company called bucked Up Apparel and they never bought
1005
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:28.280
bucked up dot com and they and they have the
1006
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:31.559
trademark rights, and so we can't ever put bucked up
1007
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:34.960
just bucked up. We can actually use bucked up dot
1008
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:36.719
com or get bucked.
1009
00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:38.920
Up or they won't budge on you. You you can't
1010
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:41.599
buy them out. And that's why we tried that on
1011
00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:42.519
Instagram product.
1012
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:46.119
Hey, we've tried. We've tried, actually and we've we've made
1013
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:49.199
them offers, but once attorneys get involved, it gets a
1014
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:51.519
little hairy. And that's that's that.
1015
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.039
So since you wanted to give us some hints, I'm
1016
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:56.639
gonna give you some exclusive news that we've never really dropped.
1017
00:48:56.719 --> 00:49:00.480
We bought our first domain recently. We have the weekly
1018
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:03.880
Bus dot com and we're in process of making our
1019
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:06.480
first website and we're gonna be shifting gears into that
1020
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:08.199
and it's really exciting, man.
1021
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:10.599
We've been wanting to do that as a week girl.
1022
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:12.480
Are you gonna sell things on your site?
1023
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:14.119
Yeah, well, we got merchant stuff.
1024
00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:16.039
We have a couple of people that have plugged this
1025
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:19.360
up on merch, and we were we had a partnership
1026
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.280
with Guerrilla Warfare, but they ended up stop doing apparel
1027
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.960
because he focused more on managing fighters and stuff. Yeah,
1028
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:30.239
but we we will probably bring merch back on on
1029
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:32.239
a like a ship to ship basis, but not like
1030
00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:34.239
a warehouse type of thing. Yeah.
1031
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:38.599
Hey, so guys, I believe it or not, I'm actually
1032
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:42.679
on a trip and we're ready to head out for dinner.
1033
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:46.199
But I appreciate you guys having me on your show.
1034
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:49.280
Great to meet all you guys, and I love your energy,
1035
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:52.519
and let's hook up next time you guys come to town.
1036
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:58.000
We're gonna come. We're coming to see you, just specially especially.
1037
00:49:57.679 --> 00:49:58.679
For Bucked Up the Boys.
1038
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:01.400
And are you also bringing Kai while you're at it?
1039
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:07.519
So, he hoped so and paddles. Okay, you before you
1040
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:08.519
leave to say one thing?
1041
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:10.559
Can I get you to say it's the bus world.
1042
00:50:11.599 --> 00:50:13.000
It's the bus world boys?
1043
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.559
And then I just have one for you. What advice
1044
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:18.159
would you give it?
1045
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:21.239
An aspiring entrepreneur entering the health and wellness industry.
1046
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:27.000
So, so, if I had it all over again, I'd
1047
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:32.239
probably start off hiring people that have experience in this industry.
1048
00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:35.280
You know, we kind of were. We made a few
1049
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:37.440
mistakes here and there. We were just willing to work
1050
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:40.599
hard to get through them. But if I had it
1051
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:43.360
all over again, I would hire the people with experience
1052
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.800
and not be afraid to pay those guys, because those guys,
1053
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:49.840
they may cost a lot, but they make you so
1054
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:52.599
much more money in the long run. So I would
1055
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:56.159
hire somebody with experience. That would probably be my you know,
1056
00:50:56.320 --> 00:51:01.480
my number one you know advice or suggestion is starting
1057
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:02.360
this supplement company.
1058
00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:06.800
Okay, yes, sir, before you leave, we can't really end
1059
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:09.079
the episode until we drop our sponsors, and we do
