Hey, what's going on guys? Welcome back to the Mike force podcast. It is of course your host, my G. I hope you guys are having a good weekend so far. Good week. So far, I got a lot to talk about. First, let's talk about rally.

Oh man, how to nepid experience with the crew at rally ready black rifle coffee big shout out today, Bucky, Lasik, Travis Pastrana, re JT from black rifle coffee Matt and everybody who came out his his beautiful wife Noel.

Everybody came out to show their support for this show that Travis Pastrana wanted to get done highlighting this adventure and motorsports, especially with a new guy me getting into rally.

I don't know man, like like a hundred times I probably had the the insane like reflection on my life and all the things that I've accomplished and still looked around the room like I was a Ranger private amongst operators and special operations and just humbled by the opportunity to be there.

So if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about it's because you don't follow my social and that's okay. You don't have to do that. Hold on one second guys.

I got to get caffeinated. I think I doubled. This is my third cup of black rifle coffee. That's probably not too healthy. Probably advise recommend to keep it down to. But I'm a big in so I need more coffee.

So if you know the hell I'm talking about I'm racing in the American rally association a R.A. series across the United States. Most of its up north across the U.S. having a real good time trying it up and getting ready for it.

But I'm racing with the rally ready black rifle fill craft team.

So how this came about me and Dave were talking and I was like yeah man I want to get in a rally and one of the other stuff. And he's like oh that's funny because Evan and JT and all those guys were getting into it too and I was like what.

What? What didn't ever tell me that.

So I made some phone calls and long story short got put in the position to drive the black rifle coffee car this year as you know next year I hope to advance into a more a more a more better car.

But you shouldn't do that out the gate good recommendations and advice from all my tribal mentors including Dave from rally ready.

It was like man you just don't want to be that guy we don't want to show up and be in a kidded out 700 500 thousand dollar race car and and send it.

You want to show up and you want to work your way up through the ranks into the top some on that train that's what I want to do.

So black rifle coffee graciously gave me their vehicle to test and evaluate which I've been doing.

And then get the opportunity this weekend or this week it wasn't a weekend this week to train with Travis Pastrana his co driver re who's one of the best co drivers in the world her husband is Ken blocks co driver Alex.

So all of this stuff coming together they're like we need to do a show.

So the show needs to highlight kind of this experience and all the things that we're doing but the motorsports team like the grassroots of it because you we need to get people excited again about motorsports.

I mean for me it's like get people excited to do anything besides sitting there home and scroll their cell phone.

We knew we're going to put together a show I just didn't realize that I was going to get the opportunity to sit down with Travis and re and all these experts but lucky lasek Tom from the UK.

A total pip Tom if you're listening to this you probably don't listen to podcasts and I'll do that in Britain but it was a joke.

But I basically mentored by the best in the world and I got to focus this week on technical training including the wrecky man if you don't know what if you don't know rally it is one of the most beautiful and complex sports in the world.
