Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Season two of the Good Stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm Ashley Shick, and I'm joined by my husband and
co host, Jacob Schick, a third generation combat marine and
CEO of One Tribe Foundation.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Ashley comes from a family rich in military history, and
we've dedicated our lives to One Tribe's mission, serving veterans,
first responders, and their families.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
We're coming to you from Dallas, so welcome to Texas
and joining us all season long from Los Angeles, California
is our West Coast long haired friend and producer.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Of the Good Stuff. Nick Cassolini.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Ooh, I'm loving today, guys. We are hopping on motorcycles
for a good dose of wind.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Therapy, always a good time.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Breeze between the knees. It's gonna be a great episode,
but just a quick heads up. This show can explore
some heavy subject matter, including talks of suicide, so listener
discretion is advised.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We couldn't be happier that you're here again.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Welcome to the Good Stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Hey everyone, this is your friendly neighborhood podcast producer Nick
I wanted to set the stage a little bit for
this episode before we dive in with Jake and Ashley.
When they say, One Tribe Foundation serves veterans, law enforcement,
first responders, and their families. Let's not beat around the bush.
These communities suffer from heartbreaking, horrific rates of suicide. A
(01:28):
recent report from the VA says we lose seventeen point
nine veterans to suicide every single day. EMTs are one
point three times as likely to take their own life
when compared to the general population. Firefighters are more than
three times as likely to take their own lives as
they are to die while working. Police officers are fifty
(01:51):
four percent more likely to die by suicide compared to
other professions. If you can, please let that sink in.
One of the ways One Tribe battles these numbers is
by raising money through events like the one you'll hear
about today, a motorcycle ride in collaboration with UFC Hall
of Famer Randy Couture's Extreme Couture GI Foundation, And You're
(02:14):
in for a treat because Randy Couture himself will be
joining the podcast later in this episode. The money raised
in this event and others like it, is used in
many ways, including funding both traditional and non traditional therapy.
Taylor built for these communities. Wind therapy, which primarily revolves
around motorcycle riding, fits into the non traditional category. It's
(02:37):
such a powerful tool that One Tribe Foundation has hired
a veteran, Dallas why Blood, to run an entire win
therapy program. We're going to hear from Dallas this episode
as well. But first here's Jake and Ashley.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
We have an awesome, exciting, fun weekend coming up. We've
got the second annual Extreme Coutur Gi Foundation and One
Tribe Foundation right for our troops right here in Dallas
Fort Worth. It's always a good time, going to be
a lot of fun, hundreds of people coming out, coming
together as a community to ride motorcycles and get some
(03:11):
win therapy.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
It's good, good, really really good shit.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Because Randy Gutour is not only a UFC champion, Hall
of Famer.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Badass, Hollywood movie star, all the things. Yeah, but he's
a freaking great.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Dude and he loves people, in particular veterans and their families.
It's really cool how the Extreme Gi Coitur Foundation got started. Yeah,
in our interview with him in season one, he talked
about it, and Randy is just such a gracious human being.
You know, he didn't big time anybody. He is like,
like last year, it was like, you know, we're sitting
(03:48):
in the kitchen. It's like, all right, bro, what time
you want to be there tomorrow? He was like, Hey,
what time does registration start? Like ten thirty? He's like,
I think we should be there at ten thirty. I'm like, cool,
what time you want to go to the airport. He's like,
what time does the event officially in? I said four
o'clock and he said we'll leave for the airport at four.
And I'll be like, damn, it's gonna be a really
(04:09):
long day.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
But yeah, yeah, but he did not. Look. That's just
who he is.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
That gives you an idea, gives the listeners an idea
of how real he is, how he doesn't hurry anybody.
He probably took five thousand pictures and he no shit,
smiled and everyone.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
He's just a genuine human being. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, And that's why I've been telling him from years, Randy,
let's try to do a ride for Extreme GIACA Tour Foundation.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
In df W.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I think we could get some guys to show up
the red bikes once say, guys and me, men and women.
I think the support because you know, it's a very
patriotic place. They loves the military at any rate and
loves motorcycles.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Right, and so it works. Now this is great. We
got a big ass weekend ahead of us. We gotta
go pick him up from the airport. You know, then
we're going to like have barbecue. What's the dinner situation? Like,
we got events, people, we got places to be.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I love how you act like you don't know. I
heard you walking up and down the hall asking people
at one tribe, we got barbecue tomorrow, right, we got barbecue, Like,
we got to get some Texas barbecue for Nick while
he's here.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
So true, it's so true.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It'll take a lot longer to exit than that Texas chili.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It stays with you. Yeah, that's how you know it's
good barbecue. Because now barbecue being delivered. That's how serious
this is. I'm I'm super pumped. I don't really know
anything about motorcycle riding. Also, my one experience was being
like twenty and drunk in Sicily on like a vespa,
like going around these crazy winding roads. I guess super dangerous.
(05:47):
It was so dangerous. I mean, it's just one of
those things where it's like you know, you ever just
like walking down the street and you just cringe me,
like because twenty years ago you realized you could have
died doing the whatever. You know. Yeah, that's nice. Understand
that's not really.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
These are this is a police escorted very safe.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I mean yeah, correct, this is not This is not
nick on the Alien Islands. Just like chugging red wine. Yeah,
just on volcanic rocks, get riding the piste off b Hey,
that's Italian freaking royalty.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Pal for Italians in Italy.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Thank you also. But this is really great because I
actually did get to check in with Dallas, who basically
runs the wind therapy program for One Tribe, and he
sat down with me and was able to speak with me. Awesome.
What is your name and what do you do here
One Tribe?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
My name is Dallas Weiblood and I am the wind
therapy program manager.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
So talk about wind therapy a little bit.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
So it's primarily focused about around motorcycles. It's all things
wind related. So there's skyt having opportunities and other things
like that, but my main focus is motorcycles.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
What does win therapy do for you and your community?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Well for me personally, I'm a Navy veteran, and getting
into that world and starting to ride on my own
just became my own therapy and whatever's going on, whatever
I'm feeling, to get on the bike and all ass
down the road and it all melts away. And you know,
the whole idea of the program was, we know not
(07:28):
everybody wants to sit in a room and talk to somebody, right,
so these are other ways that you can still get
a benefit without sitting in a room and spilling your
guts out.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
It's such a singular focus kind of adventure or undertaking.
You would say that you can't be thinking about anything
else while you're riding down the road, right.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
I didn't get into riding until five six years ago.
I rode as a kid dirt bikes and stuff, and
then I kind of always wanted to get back into it,
and then got the opportunity five years ago buy my
own bike, and it just kind of kept building from there.
So I eventually had the opportunity to run this program
and I jumped at it.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Where were you at in life five years ago?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Not great? So in twenty eighteen, I got divorced again.
I have my two youngest sons live in Mobile, Alabama.
So I left and came back here, and for a
couple of years was just partying and doing dumb shit
and you know, women in booze and drugs, and just
before I had a bike, just driving my car stupid
(08:36):
and you know, yeah, getting into fights and did.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
That reach like a pretty dark place for you?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I kind of got out of most of that on
my own until the last divorce and then so it
was my second time going through it, the second time
having to step away from some kids knowing that if
I'm not with their mother, then I'm not going to
get to see them like I should. But the situation
was so bad I couldn't continue on. So it's eat
(09:04):
a bullet or get the hell out of there. But
you're getting the hell out of there knowing that you're
not going to see your children as often as you should.
So yeah, that last time it got pretty dark for me.
And then I kind of started to turn the corner
and getting better on my own. And then I met
my wife, and I know, had I not started to
(09:26):
turn that corner, then it wouldn't matter because she wouldn't
have paid me no attention anyway, because the place I
was in right before that, and then when I met her,
she was actually running this program, and so I started
volunteering here, did that for about two years, and then
an opportunity became open to work at the front desk.
So it took that about six months. After that she
(09:48):
had asked could she do something else, and then I
had the opportunity to interview for this position, and then
October of twenty two I took over the one Therapy
program been running with it ever since.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
So, besides your sweetheart working here, what attracted you to
one tribe?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Why do you want to join?
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well, as soon as I got out of the Navy,
being lost and not having anywhere to go or anybody
to help me, Like I got out No. Nine and
if there'd have been on one tribe that I could
have gone to, then it would have probably changed my
whole direction of my life at that time. Yeah, and
so they're like, have an opportunity to possibly be that
(10:28):
for somebody now is like, there's nothing cooler than that,
And it was the coolest thing I ever heard of. Yeah,
And so then having an opportunity to actually join it
and do it for a living was the coolest thing
it could have ever.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Happened to me, our big names, our bignme.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Dallas is fiercely loyal.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
He is strong.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
He's kind of quiet and reserved at times, but he
loves hard, and he works hard, and he's passionate about
what we do, you know, just like everyone. But he's
here for the right reasons, and he has battled his
own demons, and yet he continues to show up, and
he continues to grow as a human being, as a leader,
and he really manages his own stuff. He's just fiercely
(11:14):
loyal to Jake and to the tribe and to our mission.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
When I think of Dallas, I just think about progress,
like I think about someone who has had so many
hands dealt against him, and he just continues to progress
and grow and flourish and all in the face of adversity.
And he's one of those individuals that just the more
that you get to watch him of alve, the more
(11:38):
impressed you become.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
You're only going be able to find one Dallas in
my other trips to the city of Dallas to hang
out with you guys. I only knew Dallas outside of
the work environment. I actually didn't even know he worked
at One Tribe. I just thought he was a friend
and it was great to hang out with him. But
when I saw him at the office, he was maybe
out of everyone that I spoke to someone where I
was like, oh, this is like professional Dallas. You know,
(12:03):
like everyone was like, oh, this is Dallas at work.
Dallas goes to the office.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
He was just like and he really was like I mean,
obviously he's good at his job, or he wouldn't be
working there. But I was like, Oh, this guy's really
good at his job.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
He's very well respected, but he's earned that respect.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Okay, good, everybody showed up. We have to go pick
up already from the airport. We got to take a
quick break. But when we come back, we are joined
by none other than Randy the Natural Couture. All right,
(12:39):
welcome back. After Jake picked Randy Catuur up from the airport,
we all met up at the One Tribe office, where
I finally got my Texas barbecue and Randy got to
hang out with friends and family of the One Tribe
staff before the next day's big motorcycle ride. As we
get into this next segment, I'd also like to mention
a particular indignity, our veteran's face at an alarming rate
(13:01):
financial hardship. A twenty twenty four study published in the
Medical Care Journal lays out how veterans have a lower
income than the median of the general population and more
credit card debt. Randy Cature has been meeting that problem
head on for years now through the Extreme Cature Gi Foundation,
which directly helps combat and injured veterans pay off burdens
(13:23):
and bills, both medical and otherwise. Okay, let's get on
with the show.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I promise you this guy will not big time. Me right,
there's a reason that we'rebuts is not prick. So my
good friend and my brother Randy, gootour car. Thank you guys,
you're number two.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Sounds like we've already tripled the registration from last year.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And that was amazing. No doubt in my mind this
was going to take traction.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
One of our favorite episodes from season one of the
Good Stuff was sitting down with our good friend Randy Couture,
who is actually drum roll please in Dallas, Texas tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
We are so glad you're here.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Welcome back to Texas.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Happy to be back, happy to be back in your lovely.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Home, bringing so many patriots together for two fantastic causes,
for two fantastic organizations that do a lot of work together.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
We're thrilled you're here.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Well, the more of us at Link Arms, the few
of our men and women faulted the cracks, and that's
what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Absolutely, it was great to hear you speaking with some
of the parents of active duty troopers this evening and
just empathizing with some of the things that they're going through,
you being an Army veteran, Jake being a Marine Corps veteran.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
Honestly, it's the best part of this job is the
people that I've met and the people that want to
come support our cause on what we're trying to do
and pay it forward. And that's honestly. Becoming a public
person in nineteen ninety seven changed my life in many
many ways, and I lost a big piece of my autonomy.
I don't better I get caught scratching my butt or
picking my nose in public, because there's a fair chance
(15:00):
but he's filming me, that's the truth. And I had
to change a lot of things in that regard. But
the best part of this whole gig has been the
amazing people that I've met along the way.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
What started your love of motorcycles?
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I was my mom got remarried when I was in
the seventh grade and they won some raffle at some
event and brought home a little Yamaha.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Eighty DT eighty.
Speaker 9 (15:26):
The street bike basically had turn signals and everything. Those
didn't last long, trust.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Me, you know.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
I pulled the bath lot of that the turn signals
came off. But it was a dirt lot across the
street from the house that was attached to the grade
school that I went to, Okites Elementary School up in Lynnwood, Washington,
and I would tear around that dirt track on that
little Yamaha. It's what I learned to write on. And
(15:53):
then that grew into a one twenty five and onward
and upward. I never really had a true road bike
until I moved to Vegas and one of my good
friends from Richmond, Virginia was running a little chopper shop
called Suicide Jack Choppers, and he built me my first chopper.
I still have that chopper to this day. So a
fortune army green with skulls on helmuted skulls on the
(16:16):
side of the tank and a beautiful one hundred and
first airborne mural on the on the backfender. And I
will never sell that bike. But not great for any
long distance ride. You need kidney surgery after. It's a
rigid frame bomber. But for you know, bar hopping and
around town, it's an amazing little bike. But that was
(16:37):
that's where my love started. Was that little Yamaha getting dirty.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
That's amazing. Nick was asking me in the car on
my back, He said, are you riding in this tomorrow?
And I was like, yeah, I always ride on the
back of Jake's strike. I know my place. He keeps
telling me, like, Babe, we'll get here. I'm like, nope.
I like my little seat. I like taking pictures and
not having any responsibility in these rides.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Being Koala, yes, well, I don't ride motorcycles at all.
But I also am hoping Jake, you'll give me a
little spin around the block. I want to get dumb
and dumber with you. You know what I mean. Take
me for a spin Cloud Bear. Yeah, this sounds fun, man.
I want to give it a try. And Randy, I
have a question for you, just like, help me with
(17:18):
this dilemma. I have in my life. I live in
La is kind of a busy neighborhood. I live in
an apartment buildings around by other apartment buildings, and you know,
there's cars parked on both sides of the street going
in both directions. There's this one dude in our neighborhood
who has some big ass motorcycle. I don't know what
it is. Guys, there's two wheels, it's a motorcycle. It's loud,
I don't know. He goes up and down our block
(17:39):
three four times a day, setting off every car alarm
in the whole day. So I, being the loving Christian,
I am hate him with all every body, But I
feel like I shouldn't, Like can you spin a web
of empathy I should have for this guy? Like, well,
here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (17:57):
Loud bikes shaved lives because most people driving cars don't
see us, and so if they hear us first, there's
a fair chance they're going to be looking in their
mirrors and figuring out where that noise is coming from.
And so that's exactly why his bike is loud, especially
in La when driving there is a I had my bike,
one of my bikes in La for a while yeah,
(18:17):
and oh boy, you have to be very careful riding
around there. We'll do all kinds of stuff. There's amazing
traffic everywhere. The thing that freaks me out in LA
traffic is they split lanes there. And the only accidents
I've seen firsthand with my own eyes were guys splitting lanes.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
So, man, I'll be like, because I'm living this La life,
you know, and I'm trying to be a big timer,
So of course I'm driving around LA in my little
tiny two thousand and one fit, you know what I mean,
like a man life. Man, that's what it takes. You
want to talk about manliness, try driving around LA and
Honda Fit. Your man gets tested real quick, you know.
(18:54):
So you're just just scooting around it that these fools
just come slamming through the through the cars split in
the lanes. It drives me insane because I just, like, honestly,
I just tense up because the only thing that I
want to do is not hurt them. And I know
that all I have to do is just not move
my hands. But it still feels like this great test
of skill. Yeah, you know what I mean, Just don't
(19:14):
do anything, Nick, and they'll be fine, Okay, So this
guy is protecting his own life by ruining everyone else's life.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
That's why most guys have on their bikes like the
sewing machine. They're not not only are they not going
to see you or they're not going to hear you coming.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
So so it's okay, there's there's a logic in that.
And now he's tearing around back and forth on the street.
There may be something else going on there and that
may not be above boards.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
My wife Muriel thinks he's purposely targeting one car all
the time, like he reads it. Girlfriend, she has a
whole narrative. He's trying to haunt this poor girl or
whatever the thing is. Okay, all right, I'll try to
open my heart to him.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
He learned something new every day that makes so much
sense though.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yeah, and even with the pipes, it doesn't always matter.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah, babe, I know there have been plenty of times that,
fortunately for me. Jake. Wait still, he gets home to
tell me it almost died tonight, and then he'll tell
me one time I saw it.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I say, I'll get home. Maybe I was riding. I'm like,
it's good.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Always got dead once, but that's good. I mean, I
probably would end up just like with another TV, I'm
missing my left leg and arm, and then just be
laying there like son.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Of a bitch.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
I got to do this again.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Here we go again. I look at you turn turning
survival into a pattern. No, let's not it's not fair.
I don't know no patterns of survival.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
That's not gone.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah everybody.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Yeah, I've been doing this for seventeen years and have
not had anybody injured on one of our run.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's amazing.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
This ride too, an escorted ride, right which eliminates a
whole bunch of those. The whole group gets to stay together.
We have policemen before, in front of us and behind
us that are making sure the exits are blocked off,
and you're not going to get in the crazy drivers
that want to somehow wedge in your line, which bikers
and you want to see some bikers get pissed.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
That's a surefire way to do it right there.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
But I think you eliminate a whole bunch of that
with an escorted ride like this. Being on that bike
is absolutely my happy place, my sanctuary. The rest of
the world goes away. I got the wind in my
face and the sun on my back, I'm listening to
my radio and I am thinking about everything that's going
on around me, because literally my life depends on it.
And it's there's something very relaxing about that.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
There's a huge sense of patriotism too, when you're there
together as a group rolling down the highway and you
hear all of the sounds and of course, Jake, you
know we've got music playing on ours like there's just
your your chest swells with pride and patriotism because you
know that the people that are there doing it to
support our veterans and first responders. So it's a bunch
(22:05):
of people of like mind out doing something that they
love and getting that therapy out in the great outdoors.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Massive connection between our veteran community and biking, so not
surprising that we get hundreds and hundreds of bikes that
turn out for these events that support our veterans and
our first responders for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
And it's good to see you here in person and
not having AirPods shooting out of your ears.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
It's like an organ rejection. Those in my ears.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
They don't make them that way, they just literally fits
it out.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I ain't putting it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That was our season one episode. It was hilarious, So
go check that out for sure. Thank you so much, Randy.
Thanks for all you do for veterans and first responders.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
To pay it forward. It's a huge part of my journey,
and I think I look at the world in particular
way after taking that oath and doing that training and
being in that uniform for six years, and that'll never
go away. That's not a switch you just turned back off.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
All right, Dallas, We're here a day of it fan,
all your hard work coming, information has to come together.
So far, so far, so good man.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Great turnout, way better than I was even expecting. A
ton of people, greatest weather you could ask for it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Dude, I just got chills. I feel like that's going
to be crazy to be a part of a part
of a I don't even know what to colleague. I
don't want to say gang. It's not a gang, people,
we're not talking. This is not a motorcycle gang.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
But just like it's a you know, escorted charity ride.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yes, yes, for the greatest of causes. Also, I'm sure
putting this together is like sort of a logistical nightmare
for you. Like that's that's the work of it, I'm assuming.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Yeah, it's it's a million moving parts. And you know,
even though I got as much stuff done as early
as possible, yeah, I'm still running around going okay, they
do everything.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Like what what are some of the final details that
still feel up in the air, Just you.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Know, making sure all our volunteers show up, all the
our stuff is in place. We didn't forget to take
anything we need for our merch booth or our registration booth,
or make sure we took enough drinks to keep our
volunteers hydrated cones, and make sure that people show up
to do staging, and make sure the food trucks and
(24:42):
all the vendors show up on time and there in
their right place. And I did this well. The first
ride I did with one trap, I wasn't working there yet,
and I was just like, man, this is massive, Like
I couldn't imagine having to put this together. And then
the next year I was putting it together. So uh yeah,
but it's it's the whole team, right, Yeah, we couldn't
(25:05):
do anything without our team and all our volunteer It's
a ton of stuff, but man, once it's done, it's
the most rewarding thing. Yeah, get everybody back safe, and
everybody has a good time at the party afterwards. And
you know, a ton of people get to meet Randy
and just that in and of it. So if he's
so nice and cool that everybody's so happy to have
(25:25):
even got to talk to.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
Him, how we do this?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Hell that there is no better sight than that right there?
Bikes as far as I can see, I believe it.
And what is your name, sir?
Speaker 10 (25:45):
Big Sexy with boost Fighters Chapter two? Talk to me
about your bike? What are we looking at? Show me
this thing? So we've got a twenty twenty Roadblide Limited,
upgraded the engine, it's got the Stage three one keep
it inch kit and it rip. We love it. Upgraded
the suspension to legend suspension. We're getting a little bit
(26:05):
older and it's nice to have this nice coachy ride.
Love it, man, it's been a great bike. Won't ride
anything other than a road glide anymore. It's so much
superior to the electric glide or the street glide with
a change in the firings.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Would you mind talking to if you don't mind a
moment about what Booze Fighters means to you? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Well, it started actually in nineteen forty six by World
War Two veterans that came back from the war and
just need a little bit of adventure and do some
crazy shit. So you know, they just went out partying
and enjoyed the brotherhood like they had in the military,
and so they've just carried it along up through today.
That's we're big supporters of the One Trot Foundation and
(26:44):
the Extreme co Tour ride to be here for the veterans.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yeah, the Booze Fighters is good people.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
We're all over the place. We're in every state, I think.
So have you ever see any of us riding around
or hanging out? Just stop by and say hi, Thank
you so much, sir.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Thank you guys very much. Just have a great day.
Record to seeing each.
Speaker 11 (27:05):
Number one out there on the road. All right, guys,
I can talk all day, but I think we have
different time for a prayer, Lord Jesus, and thank you
for the opportunity of giving us to come together in
this place. I asked you would bless the riders who
bless the sponsors. Bless I want to Texas Buttercave, Bless
the first responders. God bless everybody here. If they would
(27:28):
have a fun ride, they have a safe ride with
stories that tell of how good and gracious you are.
Is that, as Randy said, the sun in our face
ending our back, God asked you would be glorified everything
that was said, done and thought today. That's what keep
a saying all.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
This your name of Jesus, the fiber Spirit.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
Amen, that's not my favorite body.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Lets need to say good ago. This is crazy. There's
just like miles of motorcycles behind us hoping.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
For a good day. It looks like great, We've got
about two three hundred mics behind me.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
This is amazing. Dude, I get to ride shotgun. We're
leading the whole thing. Look at us, everyone taking photos?
What way to the people. You gotta love this feeling.
Speaker 12 (28:18):
Yeah, it's kind of intense to sit there and watch
and look back and see all the vehicle vehicles, I
say vehicles, but all the motorcycles behind me, mainly Harley
Davidson's at this point. I mean, there's not really any
other motorcycle brand is there. But yeah, it's one heck
of an opportunity to be out here. You're doing and
(28:38):
I'm just really proud to be part of it.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
We got to take one last quick break, but I
wanted to thank million Mile Mike for letting me ride
in his amazing Mustang Shelby GT. Three point fifty R
and hopping on the podcast real Quick. When we come back, Jake,
Ashley and I reconnect. Welcome back for anyone keeping score.
(29:05):
Jake did, in fact take me for a spin on
the back of his strike. We went fast. It was scary.
I liked it. Here we are the three of us, Me, Jake,
and Ashley after a very long day.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
What an awesome day. We are back at the house.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Had a huge crowd, great energy, a lot of bikes.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
It was really cool.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
We looked out on whether it's been really really windy.
The wind didn't get really bad till Thank the Lord,
the ride was over.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I love seeing Dallas in his element.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Oh my goodness, he absolutely crushed it. He actually texted
me a little bit ago. The final number of registered
bikes was three hundred and thirteen, so it was a
massive success. All teas were crossed and eyes were dotted,
and he did an amazing job. It was a really
fun event.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
So I was riding along in the lead car, you know,
and it was hilarious because we were the first people
to pass cars when they just began to understand that
they were going to have to wait before they like,
we shut that, We shut that every way down.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
That's a lot of bikes, Like that's a long line.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
It's powerful of bikes.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, to make sure everybody's safe and stays upright or
keeps the side up, as Randy likes to say. And
it was a really, really successful event. I'm very proud
of Dallas. He absolutely knowlled it.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, And Randy was so gracious I mean with his
time and energy. I mean yeah, he straight up took
all the pictures and signed all the autographs and did
all the things like it was.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It was an awesome day.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Such a king and the I felt like the focus
really was on the community that this event was supposed
to serve, you know, our veterans. It just the morale
was super high and there's tons of veterans there, and man,
that was crazy.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
And I had a random guy from Canada walk up
to me and said he was at a park the
day before and this Montana couple was talking about the ride,
so he pulled his bike out of.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
His trailer came on.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
So, I mean, people from literally all over came to
support this right, So that was great.

Welcome to Season two of the Good Stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm Ashley Shick, and I'm joined by my husband and
co host, Jacob Schick, a third generation combat marine and
CEO of One Tribe Foundation.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Ashley comes from a family rich in military history, and
we've dedicated our lives to One Tribe's mission, serving veterans,
first responders, and their families.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
We're coming to you from Dallas, so welcome to Texas
and joining us all season long from Los Angeles, California
is our West Coast long haired friend and producer.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Of the Good Stuff. Nick Cassolini.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Ooh, I'm loving today, guys. We are hopping on motorcycles
for a good dose of wind.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Therapy, always a good time.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Breeze between the knees. It's gonna be a great episode,
but just a quick heads up. This show can explore
some heavy subject matter, including talks of suicide, so listener
discretion is advised.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We couldn't be happier that you're here again.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Welcome to the Good Stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Hey everyone, this is your friendly neighborhood podcast producer Nick
I wanted to set the stage a little bit for
this episode before we dive in with Jake and Ashley.
When they say, One Tribe Foundation serves veterans, law enforcement,
first responders, and their families. Let's not beat around the bush.
These communities suffer from heartbreaking, horrific rates of suicide. A
(01:28):
recent report from the VA says we lose seventeen point
nine veterans to suicide every single day. EMTs are one
point three times as likely to take their own life
when compared to the general population. Firefighters are more than
three times as likely to take their own lives as
they are to die while working. Police officers are fifty
(01:51):
four percent more likely to die by suicide compared to
other professions. If you can, please let that sink in.
One of the ways One Tribe battles these numbers is
by raising money through events like the one you'll hear
about today, a motorcycle ride in collaboration with UFC Hall
of Famer Randy Couture's Extreme Couture GI Foundation, And You're
(02:14):
in for a treat because Randy Couture himself will be
joining the podcast later in this episode. The money raised
in this event and others like it, is used in
many ways, including funding both traditional and non traditional therapy.
Taylor built for these communities. Wind therapy, which primarily revolves
around motorcycle riding, fits into the non traditional category. It's
(02:37):
such a powerful tool that One Tribe Foundation has hired
a veteran, Dallas why Blood, to run an entire win
therapy program. We're going to hear from Dallas this episode
as well. But first here's Jake and Ashley.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
We have an awesome, exciting, fun weekend coming up. We've
got the second annual Extreme Coutur Gi Foundation and One
Tribe Foundation right for our troops right here in Dallas
Fort Worth. It's always a good time, going to be
a lot of fun, hundreds of people coming out, coming
together as a community to ride motorcycles and get some
(03:11):
win therapy.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
It's good, good, really really good shit.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Because Randy Gutour is not only a UFC champion, Hall
of Famer.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Badass, Hollywood movie star, all the things. Yeah, but he's
a freaking great.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Dude and he loves people, in particular veterans and their families.
It's really cool how the Extreme Gi Coitur Foundation got started. Yeah,
in our interview with him in season one, he talked
about it, and Randy is just such a gracious human being.
You know, he didn't big time anybody. He is like,
like last year, it was like, you know, we're sitting
(03:48):
in the kitchen. It's like, all right, bro, what time
you want to be there tomorrow? He was like, Hey,
what time does registration start? Like ten thirty? He's like,
I think we should be there at ten thirty. I'm like, cool,
what time you want to go to the airport. He's like,
what time does the event officially in? I said four
o'clock and he said we'll leave for the airport at four.
And I'll be like, damn, it's gonna be a really
(04:09):
long day.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
But yeah, yeah, but he did not. Look. That's just
who he is.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
That gives you an idea, gives the listeners an idea
of how real he is, how he doesn't hurry anybody.
He probably took five thousand pictures and he no shit,
smiled and everyone.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
He's just a genuine human being. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, And that's why I've been telling him from years, Randy,
let's try to do a ride for Extreme GIACA Tour Foundation.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
In df W.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I think we could get some guys to show up
the red bikes once say, guys and me, men and women.
I think the support because you know, it's a very
patriotic place. They loves the military at any rate and
loves motorcycles.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Right, and so it works. Now this is great. We
got a big ass weekend ahead of us. We gotta
go pick him up from the airport. You know, then
we're going to like have barbecue. What's the dinner situation? Like,
we got events, people, we got places to be.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I love how you act like you don't know. I
heard you walking up and down the hall asking people
at one tribe, we got barbecue tomorrow, right, we got barbecue, Like,
we got to get some Texas barbecue for Nick while
he's here.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
So true, it's so true.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It'll take a lot longer to exit than that Texas chili.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It stays with you. Yeah, that's how you know it's
good barbecue. Because now barbecue being delivered. That's how serious
this is. I'm I'm super pumped. I don't really know
anything about motorcycle riding. Also, my one experience was being
like twenty and drunk in Sicily on like a vespa,
like going around these crazy winding roads. I guess super dangerous.
(05:47):
It was so dangerous. I mean, it's just one of
those things where it's like you know, you ever just
like walking down the street and you just cringe me,
like because twenty years ago you realized you could have
died doing the whatever. You know. Yeah, that's nice. Understand
that's not really.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
These are this is a police escorted very safe.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I mean yeah, correct, this is not This is not
nick on the Alien Islands. Just like chugging red wine. Yeah,
just on volcanic rocks, get riding the piste off b Hey,
that's Italian freaking royalty.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Pal for Italians in Italy.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Thank you also. But this is really great because I
actually did get to check in with Dallas, who basically
runs the wind therapy program for One Tribe, and he
sat down with me and was able to speak with me. Awesome.
What is your name and what do you do here
One Tribe?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
My name is Dallas Weiblood and I am the wind
therapy program manager.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
So talk about wind therapy a little bit.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
So it's primarily focused about around motorcycles. It's all things
wind related. So there's skyt having opportunities and other things
like that, but my main focus is motorcycles.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
What does win therapy do for you and your community?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Well for me personally, I'm a Navy veteran, and getting
into that world and starting to ride on my own
just became my own therapy and whatever's going on, whatever
I'm feeling, to get on the bike and all ass
down the road and it all melts away. And you know,
the whole idea of the program was, we know not
(07:28):
everybody wants to sit in a room and talk to somebody, right,
so these are other ways that you can still get
a benefit without sitting in a room and spilling your
guts out.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
It's such a singular focus kind of adventure or undertaking.
You would say that you can't be thinking about anything
else while you're riding down the road, right.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
I didn't get into riding until five six years ago.
I rode as a kid dirt bikes and stuff, and
then I kind of always wanted to get back into it,
and then got the opportunity five years ago buy my
own bike, and it just kind of kept building from there.
So I eventually had the opportunity to run this program
and I jumped at it.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Where were you at in life five years ago?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Not great? So in twenty eighteen, I got divorced again.
I have my two youngest sons live in Mobile, Alabama.
So I left and came back here, and for a
couple of years was just partying and doing dumb shit
and you know, women in booze and drugs, and just
before I had a bike, just driving my car stupid
(08:36):
and you know, yeah, getting into fights and did.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
That reach like a pretty dark place for you?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I kind of got out of most of that on
my own until the last divorce and then so it
was my second time going through it, the second time
having to step away from some kids knowing that if
I'm not with their mother, then I'm not going to
get to see them like I should. But the situation
was so bad I couldn't continue on. So it's eat
(09:04):
a bullet or get the hell out of there. But
you're getting the hell out of there knowing that you're
not going to see your children as often as you should.
So yeah, that last time it got pretty dark for me.
And then I kind of started to turn the corner
and getting better on my own. And then I met
my wife, and I know, had I not started to
(09:26):
turn that corner, then it wouldn't matter because she wouldn't
have paid me no attention anyway, because the place I
was in right before that, and then when I met her,
she was actually running this program, and so I started
volunteering here, did that for about two years, and then
an opportunity became open to work at the front desk.
So it took that about six months. After that she
(09:48):
had asked could she do something else, and then I
had the opportunity to interview for this position, and then
October of twenty two I took over the one Therapy
program been running with it ever since.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
So, besides your sweetheart working here, what attracted you to
one tribe?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Why do you want to join?
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well, as soon as I got out of the Navy,
being lost and not having anywhere to go or anybody
to help me, Like I got out No. Nine and
if there'd have been on one tribe that I could
have gone to, then it would have probably changed my
whole direction of my life at that time. Yeah, and
so they're like, have an opportunity to possibly be that
(10:28):
for somebody now is like, there's nothing cooler than that,
And it was the coolest thing I ever heard of. Yeah,
And so then having an opportunity to actually join it
and do it for a living was the coolest thing
it could have ever.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Happened to me, our big names, our bignme.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Dallas is fiercely loyal.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
He is strong.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
He's kind of quiet and reserved at times, but he
loves hard, and he works hard, and he's passionate about
what we do, you know, just like everyone. But he's
here for the right reasons, and he has battled his
own demons, and yet he continues to show up, and
he continues to grow as a human being, as a leader,
and he really manages his own stuff. He's just fiercely
(11:14):
loyal to Jake and to the tribe and to our mission.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
When I think of Dallas, I just think about progress,
like I think about someone who has had so many
hands dealt against him, and he just continues to progress
and grow and flourish and all in the face of adversity.
And he's one of those individuals that just the more
that you get to watch him of alve, the more
(11:38):
impressed you become.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
You're only going be able to find one Dallas in
my other trips to the city of Dallas to hang
out with you guys. I only knew Dallas outside of
the work environment. I actually didn't even know he worked
at One Tribe. I just thought he was a friend
and it was great to hang out with him. But
when I saw him at the office, he was maybe
out of everyone that I spoke to someone where I
was like, oh, this is like professional Dallas. You know,
(12:03):
like everyone was like, oh, this is Dallas at work.
Dallas goes to the office.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
He was just like and he really was like I mean,
obviously he's good at his job, or he wouldn't be
working there. But I was like, Oh, this guy's really
good at his job.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
He's very well respected, but he's earned that respect.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Okay, good, everybody showed up. We have to go pick
up already from the airport. We got to take a
quick break. But when we come back, we are joined
by none other than Randy the Natural Couture. All right,
(12:39):
welcome back. After Jake picked Randy Catuur up from the airport,
we all met up at the One Tribe office, where
I finally got my Texas barbecue and Randy got to
hang out with friends and family of the One Tribe
staff before the next day's big motorcycle ride. As we
get into this next segment, I'd also like to mention
a particular indignity, our veteran's face at an alarming rate
(13:01):
financial hardship. A twenty twenty four study published in the
Medical Care Journal lays out how veterans have a lower
income than the median of the general population and more
credit card debt. Randy Cature has been meeting that problem
head on for years now through the Extreme Cature Gi Foundation,
which directly helps combat and injured veterans pay off burdens
(13:23):
and bills, both medical and otherwise. Okay, let's get on
with the show.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I promise you this guy will not big time. Me right,
there's a reason that we'rebuts is not prick. So my
good friend and my brother Randy, gootour car. Thank you guys,
you're number two.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
Sounds like we've already tripled the registration from last year.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
And that was amazing. No doubt in my mind this
was going to take traction.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
One of our favorite episodes from season one of the
Good Stuff was sitting down with our good friend Randy Couture,
who is actually drum roll please in Dallas, Texas tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
We are so glad you're here.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Welcome back to Texas.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Happy to be back, happy to be back in your lovely.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Home, bringing so many patriots together for two fantastic causes,
for two fantastic organizations that do a lot of work together.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
We're thrilled you're here.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Well, the more of us at Link Arms, the few
of our men and women faulted the cracks, and that's
what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Absolutely, it was great to hear you speaking with some
of the parents of active duty troopers this evening and
just empathizing with some of the things that they're going through,
you being an Army veteran, Jake being a Marine Corps veteran.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
Honestly, it's the best part of this job is the
people that I've met and the people that want to
come support our cause on what we're trying to do
and pay it forward. And that's honestly. Becoming a public
person in nineteen ninety seven changed my life in many
many ways, and I lost a big piece of my autonomy.
I don't better I get caught scratching my butt or
picking my nose in public, because there's a fair chance
(15:00):
but he's filming me, that's the truth. And I had
to change a lot of things in that regard. But
the best part of this whole gig has been the
amazing people that I've met along the way.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
What started your love of motorcycles?
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I was my mom got remarried when I was in
the seventh grade and they won some raffle at some
event and brought home a little Yamaha.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Eighty DT eighty.
Speaker 9 (15:26):
The street bike basically had turn signals and everything. Those
didn't last long, trust.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Me, you know.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
I pulled the bath lot of that the turn signals
came off. But it was a dirt lot across the
street from the house that was attached to the grade
school that I went to, Okites Elementary School up in Lynnwood, Washington,
and I would tear around that dirt track on that
little Yamaha. It's what I learned to write on. And
(15:53):
then that grew into a one twenty five and onward
and upward. I never really had a true road bike
until I moved to Vegas and one of my good
friends from Richmond, Virginia was running a little chopper shop
called Suicide Jack Choppers, and he built me my first chopper.
I still have that chopper to this day. So a
fortune army green with skulls on helmuted skulls on the
(16:16):
side of the tank and a beautiful one hundred and
first airborne mural on the on the backfender. And I
will never sell that bike. But not great for any
long distance ride. You need kidney surgery after. It's a
rigid frame bomber. But for you know, bar hopping and
around town, it's an amazing little bike. But that was
(16:37):
that's where my love started. Was that little Yamaha getting dirty.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
That's amazing. Nick was asking me in the car on
my back, He said, are you riding in this tomorrow?
And I was like, yeah, I always ride on the
back of Jake's strike. I know my place. He keeps
telling me, like, Babe, we'll get here. I'm like, nope.
I like my little seat. I like taking pictures and
not having any responsibility in these rides.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Being Koala, yes, well, I don't ride motorcycles at all.
But I also am hoping Jake, you'll give me a
little spin around the block. I want to get dumb
and dumber with you. You know what I mean. Take
me for a spin Cloud Bear. Yeah, this sounds fun, man.
I want to give it a try. And Randy, I
have a question for you, just like, help me with
(17:18):
this dilemma. I have in my life. I live in
La is kind of a busy neighborhood. I live in
an apartment buildings around by other apartment buildings, and you know,
there's cars parked on both sides of the street going
in both directions. There's this one dude in our neighborhood
who has some big ass motorcycle. I don't know what
it is. Guys, there's two wheels, it's a motorcycle. It's loud,
I don't know. He goes up and down our block
(17:39):
three four times a day, setting off every car alarm
in the whole day. So I, being the loving Christian,
I am hate him with all every body, But I
feel like I shouldn't, Like can you spin a web
of empathy I should have for this guy? Like, well,
here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (17:57):
Loud bikes shaved lives because most people driving cars don't
see us, and so if they hear us first, there's
a fair chance they're going to be looking in their
mirrors and figuring out where that noise is coming from.
And so that's exactly why his bike is loud, especially
in La when driving there is a I had my bike,
one of my bikes in La for a while yeah,
(18:17):
and oh boy, you have to be very careful riding
around there. We'll do all kinds of stuff. There's amazing
traffic everywhere. The thing that freaks me out in LA
traffic is they split lanes there. And the only accidents
I've seen firsthand with my own eyes were guys splitting lanes.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
So, man, I'll be like, because I'm living this La life,
you know, and I'm trying to be a big timer,
So of course I'm driving around LA in my little
tiny two thousand and one fit, you know what I mean,
like a man life. Man, that's what it takes. You
want to talk about manliness, try driving around LA and
Honda Fit. Your man gets tested real quick, you know.
(18:54):
So you're just just scooting around it that these fools
just come slamming through the through the cars split in
the lanes. It drives me insane because I just, like, honestly,
I just tense up because the only thing that I
want to do is not hurt them. And I know
that all I have to do is just not move
my hands. But it still feels like this great test
of skill. Yeah, you know what I mean, Just don't
(19:14):
do anything, Nick, and they'll be fine, Okay, So this
guy is protecting his own life by ruining everyone else's life.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
That's why most guys have on their bikes like the
sewing machine. They're not not only are they not going
to see you or they're not going to hear you coming.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
So so it's okay, there's there's a logic in that.
And now he's tearing around back and forth on the street.
There may be something else going on there and that
may not be above boards.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
My wife Muriel thinks he's purposely targeting one car all
the time, like he reads it. Girlfriend, she has a
whole narrative. He's trying to haunt this poor girl or
whatever the thing is. Okay, all right, I'll try to
open my heart to him.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
He learned something new every day that makes so much
sense though.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yeah, and even with the pipes, it doesn't always matter.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah, babe, I know there have been plenty of times that,
fortunately for me. Jake. Wait still, he gets home to
tell me it almost died tonight, and then he'll tell
me one time I saw it.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I say, I'll get home. Maybe I was riding. I'm like,
it's good.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Always got dead once, but that's good. I mean, I
probably would end up just like with another TV, I'm
missing my left leg and arm, and then just be
laying there like son.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Of a bitch.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
I got to do this again.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Here we go again. I look at you turn turning
survival into a pattern. No, let's not it's not fair.
I don't know no patterns of survival.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
That's not gone.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah everybody.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Yeah, I've been doing this for seventeen years and have
not had anybody injured on one of our run.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's amazing.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
This ride too, an escorted ride, right which eliminates a
whole bunch of those. The whole group gets to stay together.
We have policemen before, in front of us and behind
us that are making sure the exits are blocked off,
and you're not going to get in the crazy drivers
that want to somehow wedge in your line, which bikers
and you want to see some bikers get pissed.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
That's a surefire way to do it right there.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
But I think you eliminate a whole bunch of that
with an escorted ride like this. Being on that bike
is absolutely my happy place, my sanctuary. The rest of
the world goes away. I got the wind in my
face and the sun on my back, I'm listening to
my radio and I am thinking about everything that's going
on around me, because literally my life depends on it.
And it's there's something very relaxing about that.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
There's a huge sense of patriotism too, when you're there
together as a group rolling down the highway and you
hear all of the sounds and of course, Jake, you
know we've got music playing on ours like there's just
your your chest swells with pride and patriotism because you
know that the people that are there doing it to
support our veterans and first responders. So it's a bunch
(22:05):
of people of like mind out doing something that they
love and getting that therapy out in the great outdoors.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Massive connection between our veteran community and biking, so not
surprising that we get hundreds and hundreds of bikes that
turn out for these events that support our veterans and
our first responders for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
And it's good to see you here in person and
not having AirPods shooting out of your ears.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
It's like an organ rejection. Those in my ears.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
They don't make them that way, they just literally fits
it out.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I ain't putting it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That was our season one episode. It was hilarious, So
go check that out for sure. Thank you so much, Randy.
Thanks for all you do for veterans and first responders.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
To pay it forward. It's a huge part of my journey,
and I think I look at the world in particular
way after taking that oath and doing that training and
being in that uniform for six years, and that'll never
go away. That's not a switch you just turned back off.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
All right, Dallas, We're here a day of it fan,
all your hard work coming, information has to come together.
So far, so far, so good man.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Great turnout, way better than I was even expecting. A
ton of people, greatest weather you could ask for it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Dude, I just got chills. I feel like that's going
to be crazy to be a part of a part
of a I don't even know what to colleague. I
don't want to say gang. It's not a gang, people,
we're not talking. This is not a motorcycle gang.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
But just like it's a you know, escorted charity ride.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yes, yes, for the greatest of causes. Also, I'm sure
putting this together is like sort of a logistical nightmare
for you. Like that's that's the work of it, I'm assuming.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Yeah, it's it's a million moving parts. And you know,
even though I got as much stuff done as early
as possible, yeah, I'm still running around going okay, they
do everything.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Like what what are some of the final details that
still feel up in the air, Just you.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Know, making sure all our volunteers show up, all the
our stuff is in place. We didn't forget to take
anything we need for our merch booth or our registration booth,
or make sure we took enough drinks to keep our
volunteers hydrated cones, and make sure that people show up
to do staging, and make sure the food trucks and
(24:42):
all the vendors show up on time and there in
their right place. And I did this well. The first
ride I did with one trap, I wasn't working there yet,
and I was just like, man, this is massive, Like
I couldn't imagine having to put this together. And then
the next year I was putting it together. So uh yeah,
but it's it's the whole team, right, Yeah, we couldn't
(25:05):
do anything without our team and all our volunteer It's
a ton of stuff, but man, once it's done, it's
the most rewarding thing. Yeah, get everybody back safe, and
everybody has a good time at the party afterwards. And
you know, a ton of people get to meet Randy
and just that in and of it. So if he's
so nice and cool that everybody's so happy to have
(25:25):
even got to talk to.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
Him, how we do this?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Hell that there is no better sight than that right there?
Bikes as far as I can see, I believe it.
And what is your name, sir?
Speaker 10 (25:45):
Big Sexy with boost Fighters Chapter two? Talk to me
about your bike? What are we looking at? Show me
this thing? So we've got a twenty twenty Roadblide Limited,
upgraded the engine, it's got the Stage three one keep
it inch kit and it rip. We love it. Upgraded
the suspension to legend suspension. We're getting a little bit
(26:05):
older and it's nice to have this nice coachy ride.
Love it, man, it's been a great bike. Won't ride
anything other than a road glide anymore. It's so much
superior to the electric glide or the street glide with
a change in the firings.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Would you mind talking to if you don't mind a
moment about what Booze Fighters means to you? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (26:22):
Well, it started actually in nineteen forty six by World
War Two veterans that came back from the war and
just need a little bit of adventure and do some
crazy shit. So you know, they just went out partying
and enjoyed the brotherhood like they had in the military,
and so they've just carried it along up through today.
That's we're big supporters of the One Trot Foundation and
(26:44):
the Extreme co Tour ride to be here for the veterans.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yeah, the Booze Fighters is good people.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
We're all over the place. We're in every state, I think.
So have you ever see any of us riding around
or hanging out? Just stop by and say hi, Thank
you so much, sir.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Thank you guys very much. Just have a great day.
Record to seeing each.
Speaker 11 (27:05):
Number one out there on the road. All right, guys,
I can talk all day, but I think we have
different time for a prayer, Lord Jesus, and thank you
for the opportunity of giving us to come together in
this place. I asked you would bless the riders who
bless the sponsors. Bless I want to Texas Buttercave, Bless
the first responders. God bless everybody here. If they would
(27:28):
have a fun ride, they have a safe ride with
stories that tell of how good and gracious you are.
Is that, as Randy said, the sun in our face
ending our back, God asked you would be glorified everything
that was said, done and thought today. That's what keep
a saying all.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
This your name of Jesus, the fiber Spirit.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
Amen, that's not my favorite body.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Lets need to say good ago. This is crazy. There's
just like miles of motorcycles behind us hoping.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
For a good day. It looks like great, We've got
about two three hundred mics behind me.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
This is amazing. Dude, I get to ride shotgun. We're
leading the whole thing. Look at us, everyone taking photos?
What way to the people. You gotta love this feeling.
Speaker 12 (28:18):
Yeah, it's kind of intense to sit there and watch
and look back and see all the vehicle vehicles, I
say vehicles, but all the motorcycles behind me, mainly Harley
Davidson's at this point. I mean, there's not really any
other motorcycle brand is there. But yeah, it's one heck
of an opportunity to be out here. You're doing and
(28:38):
I'm just really proud to be part of it.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
We got to take one last quick break, but I
wanted to thank million Mile Mike for letting me ride
in his amazing Mustang Shelby GT. Three point fifty R
and hopping on the podcast real Quick. When we come back, Jake,
Ashley and I reconnect. Welcome back for anyone keeping score.
(29:05):
Jake did, in fact take me for a spin on
the back of his strike. We went fast. It was scary.
I liked it. Here we are the three of us, Me, Jake,
and Ashley after a very long day.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
What an awesome day. We are back at the house.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Had a huge crowd, great energy, a lot of bikes.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
It was really cool.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
We looked out on whether it's been really really windy.
The wind didn't get really bad till Thank the Lord,
the ride was over.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I love seeing Dallas in his element.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Oh my goodness, he absolutely crushed it. He actually texted
me a little bit ago. The final number of registered
bikes was three hundred and thirteen, so it was a
massive success. All teas were crossed and eyes were dotted,
and he did an amazing job. It was a really
fun event.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
So I was riding along in the lead car, you know,
and it was hilarious because we were the first people
to pass cars when they just began to understand that
they were going to have to wait before they like,
we shut that, We shut that every way down.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
That's a lot of bikes, Like that's a long line.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
It's powerful of bikes.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah, to make sure everybody's safe and stays upright or
keeps the side up, as Randy likes to say. And
it was a really, really successful event. I'm very proud
of Dallas. He absolutely knowlled it.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, And Randy was so gracious I mean with his
time and energy. I mean yeah, he straight up took
all the pictures and signed all the autographs and did
all the things like it was.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It was an awesome day.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Such a king and the I felt like the focus
really was on the community that this event was supposed
to serve, you know, our veterans. It just the morale
was super high and there's tons of veterans there, and man,
that was crazy.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
And I had a random guy from Canada walk up
to me and said he was at a park the
day before and this Montana couple was talking about the ride,
so he pulled his bike out of.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
His trailer came on.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
So, I mean, people from literally all over came to
support this right, So that was great.
