Thanks for tuning in. This is the Free Range American Podcast. Hello and welcome to Free Range American Podcast. This is one of our special

episodes where we go solo.

We're going to do a number of these because myself, Matt, Evan, Logan, all have, you know, certain guests that kind of match our background, match our interests and stuff like that.

So we're going to treat you guys to a couple solo interviews where it's just one of us interviewing somebody we like, appreciate, respect, adore.

You know, it is your good looks that that kind of lead me to a lot of the nice things I'm saying about my guest right now.

But we have a lot of weird intertwined history.

I am currently on the phone with Mr. Garan,

Garand, Thumb. If you are in the firearms community, I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.

He's one of the top, I would say you're like a t and e YouTuber correct more so information i think that's a good way how would you classify it's a good way to describe it

yeah i would describe it as uh dude making uh videos in his basements we'll put it at that tier right

there yeah but you know what like you and i had that that conversation yesterday, if you know how to do it right, you know how to do it right.

That is a fact right there.

Let's get into the first part since we're using your Instagram and your YouTube and your online handle where does the name

of course and thumb come from yeah you know that's a that's a great question so I guess

what it comes down to is when way back when when I started this channel I had no idea where this was going

and at the time I had just bought a grand and I thought to myself you know what a great rifle

I think I'll do an entire channel about shooting the grand fast and in different situations

and competition and it's going to be super sick.

Well, no one was going to watch it at that time.
