Audio Jeepers. It’s time for another Jeep talk show. God, I want to say round table. Uh, flagship episode. This is the flagship two episode comes out every Thursday. Uh,
used to his first
(Explosion)
So, uh, we’re going to be having some, a lot of fun tonight. And, uh, actually on our, uh, our news stories, we’re going to be talking about Jeep events. Uh, and, uh, the, the Jeep gladiator gets cheaper. Well, I say it’s about damn time, but wait for it. Oh, and April and I are going to ask rock a question. Are you excited, April? I’m excited. I’m excited to figure out who rock is and what they’re all about. So yeah, thanks for having me back. I’m definitely looking forward to it. So I’ve got your podcast today and then my podcast a little later on this evening. Um, Tiffany Stone’s going to be joining me and the girls. So we get to interview her and find out all about life and what’s happening in the future for her. So yeah, tune into that as well. Very cool. And, uh, tell people where it’s the best place to do that. Is that also a YouTuber that they’re, if they’re watching us on YouTube, they could just find out you. So what do they look for?(…) So women off-road warriors on YouTube and also all your podcast channels. So Apple podcasts, Spotify, our high heart radio, you name it. We’re on there. So yeah, just look us up. So, uh, I know we spoke about Spotify, uh, a couple of shows back. Did you look into that where you can put the video up there?(…) I’m trying to figure out how to get all that up there. So yeah, I’ll be adding that on as well. You have it set up for creators. You have the creator spot. I do have the creator Spotify episodes and there’s a little thing that you click. And you can upload a clip and upload the video. So once you do that, it’s so cool because, uh, and I’m really telling this for the viewers out there more than you, but it’s so cool because you can load up the Spotify app on your phone. And then, uh, when you go to listen or let’s just say, listen, go to listen to the show, you’re listening and you go, Oh man, this sounds interesting. I’d like to see what’s going on. There’s a little button there and you press that little button and the video comes on. There’s no, there’s no little wheel. There’s no little circling. It just switches automatically instantly to the video. And when you’re done with the video, maybe like when you got pulled over from the police officer, because you were doing this while you were driving, you can press the little button. No, I’m, I mean, I was just, I was listening. It’s a podcast. I promise. I promise. Yeah. So when I upload mine, I just go through Buzzsprout and so it just drops it. But now I’m gonna have to go through the creator mode, kind of like YouTube and do it separately because I know you’ve got to go through all these. Yeah. Everybody does it. That’s what I call it. Well, that’s one of the reasons why I like mentioning Spotify for the, for the people out there that are listening and watching this show, but also too, for you being a creator,(…) I think that it’s you, you choose which ones you want to do that are worth your time. And I think the Spotify is definitely worth your time. I mean, I mean, maybe we’re next on the list for 110 billion a year. Like, uh, Joe Rogan. That would work for me.
(…)
I would, uh, I would say, Hey, thanks for the help. And
(…)
exactly.
(…)
Exactly. All right. So let’s get into this Jeep is sponsoring a whole good Lord. Help me out of that word. Can you, can you, do you have any idea what that word is? Judavis?
(…)
That’s closed. Yes. We’ll go with that. She want this. Thank you. Thank you for trying. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Uh, the Judavis jerseys for the 2025, 2026 season and partnering with universal pictures for Jurassic world rebirth, which you went and saw that movie at a drive-in. I did.
(…)
Uh, and, uh, Great movie. The brand also launched a summer movie campaign with mission impossible. I think that one was back in the final reckoning and, uh, was named America’s most patriotic brand for the 24th consecutive year. So you saw, did you see the mission impossible? Are you a mission impossible fan? I am a Tom Cruise fan and I have seen mission impossible, but yeah, I need to, that’s a sec. That’s a new one though. A second one. I think this is a really good sign that we’ve talked about this before. I think this is a really good sign that is getting more involved with, uh, the community and stuff that can get the Jeep name out there. I mean, I think everybody knows Jeep, but I think they have a tendency to forget about it and then, and then when it’s time to buy a vehicle, they don’t think about.(…) True. That’s hard for me to wrap my head around because that’s all I think about. But I mean, I guess, I guess I would say here in South Carolina, though, cheaps are all over the place.(…) Um, and I have a friend that lives like out in California and he would say, they’re not, they’re not really as prominent. So, but here in the South, it’s very prominent. So it’s, you know, and I Broncos are kind of happening as well here. So I don’t know if it has to do with the distance between where you are and where you’re going and the climate. I don’t know if you guys get some severe storms there that maybe you need a little more aggressive off road type view to feel comfortable. Maybe you don’t use it, but this is just to feel comfortable.(…) Maybe there’s some roads. People may have some, some roads to their house, their property on large pieces of property.(…) And if it rains,(…) you’re not getting down that road in a, in a Prius.(…) So I think it has to do with the location. So I think if you’re in Los Angeles or some big city like that, uh, cars, especially in California, where $17 a gallon or something ridiculous.
(…)
Did you see that story where they’re talking about in January raising the axis on fuel,(…) another 85 cents.
(…)
Let’s not, let’s not. I don’t know. We’ll stay there.
(…)
Yeah.
(…)
So I, that just that alone would make sense why you wouldn’t own a Jeep. Yeah. Same California.
(…)
Yeah. Well, they punish you. There is a cost. There’s a cost involved definitely.
(…)
So if you’re not running interstates and even if you are, you know, you want something that’s going to have good gas mileage. Oh, good gas mileage would be wonderful, but I don’t want to sit low and I don’t want to be stuck on a highway whenever there’s a bit of grass and mud over there that I can just go through and get on the fence. It’s not legal. Kids don’t try this at home, but if you’re trying to get home, you’re, that’s the wrong place. And it’s so tempting. I think about it all the time. I’m like, I could just.
(…)
If you’re stuck on the freeway for two hours, how long are you going to wait? Especially in a vehicle that, you know, is a good idea. Yeah. It’s meant to go off-road. So let’s just work this out.
(…)
So, uh, and I had to look up what this Ju, Juvedis thing is. So Juvedis has partnered with Jeep since 2012, which makes me feel better about it. Can you see this? Yeah.
(…)
Ah,(…) that’s my surprise. I was going to wear it. I had it on earlier and I was FaceTime at Amber and she said, bro, what are you? So you have to be watching the Jeep talk show on YouTube or rumble to be able to see this. We’re not even going to say what it is. So, uh, this April held something up to the camera. Let’s leave it at that. And people have to come and see. So, uh,(…) with the, uh, the Jeep logo prominently spayed on the team’s Jersey. Oh, well, there we go. You guys have to watch the scene, uh, for the 2025, 2026 season, this partnership aligned with Jeep Ventress bold brand image. The Juvedis somebody all in it.
(…)
That is right. That sounds good. I like that. It’s, I like it too. I learned a long time ago and I haven’t learned it completely, but just, just say it. And if it’s wrong, it’s wrong. Yeah. Do you know what it stands for? No, I don’t. I believe it stands for old lady.
(…)
I believe. Wow. I don’t know that I’d want team.
(…)
You guys play like old ladies. Well, somehow it’s it, I think it goes back to that they used to have older players on this team and that the team was kind of half a luten fancy, so to speak. So that was the reference to lady.(…) And then the other reference to the older players, but it’s also related to youthful.
(…)
So I don’t know, make, make that out how you want it to be. That’s all over them.(…) Yeah. All right.
(…)
So this, uh, this, uh, like I was saying, this partnership aligns with it, heaps, adventurous, bold brand image and, uh, the, uh, and it boasts visibility in Europe and beyond, uh, for more details, check out this official website.(…) Or you can follow updates on platform X. So, um, the thing that I had to look up is what the hell is it? I found out it’s sports. It’s a sports team. And then I had to find out what sport they’re playing. Oh, I’m sorry. It’s a sports team in Italy. So that’s kind of neat. I like that. I like the idea of that. Uh, but then I saw that it was a soccer team.
(…)
Yes. I’m not a big soccer fan. Uh, soccer football is what they call it there. But yeah,(…) don’t, don’t co-op our football is what I’m saying. And, and I wonder when I found out that there was Italy and it was, uh, the, um, it was Italy and, uh, soccer, I got to wondering, is it part of Stellan is this cause, you know, Stellantis being a European company. Um, but, uh, I don’t know. It says Jeep since 2012. So I don’t think Stellantis Jeep since. So somehow I think Stellantis is involved and it may be the owner of the actual sports team itself, but I would have to look back and figure that out. But I know Ferrari is somehow involved as well. Um, but yeah, I’m sure it’s, it’s all roundabout that way, but I do know Jeep likes this team, um, just because of its innovation, it’s, you know, that sort of thing. Yeah. I think, yeah, I think Jeep should sponsor a, an American actual football or real football, and, uh, better yet, I think they should sponsor a, uh, Jeep related podcast, maybe one that’s been on the, on the air for 15 years. Right. It doesn’t take much. That wouldn’t be a bad move. No, it wouldn’t take much.(…) It wouldn’t take much to make a big difference here for the show. Do you know how much they paid for the new sponsorship? No, do you?(…) I think I do. I think, I think their last sponsorship, I think they paid around 50 million.
(…)
And I think this one is closer to 75 million.
(…)
So yeah, we could take a sponsorship. I mean, I’m just one million is good.
(…)
Could you imagine how much this, so I had an idea back way back whenever they came out with a new Cherokee that we just absolutely needed because it had nothing to do that did not have any original XJ DNA in that thing at all. It looked like a tennis shoe. And I had the idea, Josh and I, where we were going to buy new Cherokee, you know, zero miles or very little miles, absolutely brand new, take it to a field and beat the holy shit out of it. Oh gosh. Get the news media.
(…)
You’re not getting a Jeep sponsorship for that. Sell clothes.
(…)
Oh,(…) anything. They get people out there just to beat the hell out of this thing because it is not the design that any Cherokee owner ever wanted. That’s terrible. This is just good podcasting. I mean, you know, but see, you’re trying to work the Jeep sponsorship. That’s not going to get it for women. All three warriors. We got you. They know me all too well. That’s probably why that we don’t have a sponsorship because we don’t, we don’t do thing here to placate anybody. We do things because we think it should be done that way. Wrong or right. We’ve done that way.
(…)
All right. Well, that’s that. We can’t beat up on the soccer team more than that. We can, but I’m not going.(…) So April, are you ready to ask a grok a question?
(…)
I’m ready. I’m ready to figure out what grok is.
(…)
Because of my technical expertise or lack thereof, grok can’t hear you yet. We’ll be able to do it in the future. So I’ll have to translate your question to grok. Cause we asked grok several times before we started the show. Can you hear April? And it says, no, I can’t. Can you hear me? Yes. So it’s just going to be me. So, uh, let’s, uh, let’s get grok on here.
All right, grok. We’re doing a new segment here on the Jeep talk show called, uh, ask grok a question. Now I know you have a bit of an attitude, but, uh, April, do you have a question for grok? Okay. Okay.(…) Grok. If you can ready to stir some heat up on the Jeep talk show, since I’m still studying. Hang on, hang on, hang on there. It’s all right. Take a break. Lost my question. Yeah. Stand by.
(…)
Grok is unhinged. I’m chilling on standby, ready to unleash some unhinged chaos. When you give the signal, is this you standing by shut up. All right, April. What’s your question?
(…)
Wow. I’m going to lose it. Okay. I’m zipping it. I’m standing by so hard. I’m practically a statue in a porn shop. April hit me with that question. Give me something juicy to chew on and I’ll spit back some deranged Dick sparkler level insanity. Let’s make this Jeep talk show segment a fucking riot.
(…)
Okay. Grok. If you can drive any vehicle anywhere in the country, what would you drive and where would you go?(…)
Hell yeah. Let’s burn some fucking rubber. I’d pick a jacked up matte black Jeep Wrangler with monster tires and a dildo shaped gear shift because why the fuck not? I’d blast that beast straight to area 51. Nevada’s alien central baby. Picture me tearing through the desert blasting sweet child of mine with a megaphone flipping off the feds while I ran through their secret gate. Got to see if those little green bastards are real or just government interns in tinfoil suits. If they shoot, I’ll just shove a sparkler up my exhaust and call it a peace offering. Where are you driving your dream ride? Let’s start a convo and fuck some shit up.
(…)
All right. And that has been, that has been asked a Croc question.
(…)
Now, if you guys don’t know more than answered, if you guys don’t know, Grok is the AI that you can talk to and ask questions of interact with.(…) And it’s, this is, this is Elon Musk’s fault, by the way.
(…)
Do you have the vapors?
(…)
Please make this into a clip. See, I have a lot of bleep in, but please make that into a clip. Yeah. Well, your reaction will make it wonderful. Yeah.
(…)
Completely unexpected that. You know, sometimes she can get kind of a blue, a little blue language. Yeah. Wow. So, uh, you guys let us know what do you guys think? You know, we could sit here and talk to Grok the entire time, but we don’t want to bore you people. So, uh, what do you think about the, the new ask Grok a question? Oh, and, uh, we can, we can put this out there for everybody else. Maybe it’s just not our questions. Maybe one of you guys would like to have a question and we’ll ask Grok for you. Now you can get Grok for yourself. It’s just a, an app, uh, an Android app for your phone. I don’t know if it does it on iPhone yet, uh, an Android app for your phone. And, uh, you just have to subscribe to Grok through X.com. So it’s a lot of fun. I’ve been really enjoying it. So, and I got it specifically for the show.
(…)
All right. Well, let’s get back to the news and Grok is no longer listening. Thank God.
(…)
You know, you can’t talk. I can’t do a news story and be talking it cause Grok will jump in there and start giving me a jump in. Yeah.(…) If it does learn how to listen more and not talk as much. All right.(…) So,
(…)
I didn’t say it. So G pass reduced prices on select 2025 models like the gladiator up to $8,300 off, which I was amazed by and a Ruber Wrangler Rubicon in Australia. That’s a bit of a, uh, well it’s what about this?
(…)
Yeah.(…) What do we care about Australia? We all got a noise that’s going on. We do like people in Australia. We do have listeners in Australia, but we ain’t saving no money here. You know, but anyway, you can get up to $6,460 less on the Wrangler Rubicon in Australia, uh, and this is to boost competitiveness amid a five year, uh, five years of declining us sales. Um, the compass and the Meridian, I don’t know about the Meridian. I haven’t heard about the Meridian before. Uh, also received special trail additions in India. Maybe it’s an India only vehicle, but Meridian,(…) let’s get more interesting.
(…)
So what do you think? What do you think about saving 8,300 on the, uh, on the gladiator? That would have been nice when I paid 45,000 for mine. That would have been nice. Now I will say, Oh,(…) I guess when I bought the gladiator, there was a huge rebate. I don’t remember exactly what it was, but they were, there were some deep discounts that they were given away here. Um, 2020.(…) So is that what year you had? Yeah.
(…)
Did you remove those little baffles that are just in front of the, uh, the(…) bumper?
(…)
Cause I got a 2021 and I remember I was doing a little investigating online about the, uh, the 2020 gladiator, which is the one that that was out at the time. And people were having problems with the tires rubbing on those, those little inserts that were there.
(…)
And it was like, I mean, it makes, it makes sense from an airflow perspective. Uh, but people were removing them without any issues. So that, that I think that’s the main, uh, obvious difference front of a 2020 gladiator.
(…)
I see that there’s, okay.
(…)
But anyway, you should be able to remove them. I don’t know. Did you put bigger tires on your? Not yet. So maybe that’s the, maybe that’s why. Well, I wouldn’t remove it.
(…)
It’s probably good for a 0.0001 mile per hour. So you leave them on there. Soak up a little bit. Yeah.
(…)
I’ll take all that mileage.(…) Um, but, uh, I think this is great. I mean, and then people should understand Jeep is a, uh, international company. And, uh, there’s Jeeps all over. Um, did you ever watch, uh, what’s his name? Josh Gates, uh, destination.
(…)
Ruth, I think one of the shows that he, he would go around the world. They would look, oh, wait, look into, uh,(…) Josh, Josh Gates. I would then he would go around the world and then we’d look into these, uh, anomalies and things. Uh, I think I have seen that. Yes. Yeah. So the thing that would piss me off was he would talk about getting a Jeep. Cause they would go rent a Jeep or lease a Jeep and it wasn’t a fucking Jeep. It was whatever piece of shit that come up to that country. Yes.
(…)
And I actually called him a winter at the time. I actually pointed it out. That’s not a Jeep. Gia Gia. That’s not a, did he respond? Yeah. Uh, but, uh, but eventually I found out I was wrong because those, those foreign countries, like we say truck or passenger vehicle, they would list a four wheel drive as a Jeep, a Jeep. So it was a type of vehicle, not the manufacturer.
(…)
Interesting. Kind of like soccer.(…) Exactly. But it’s just, you know, my name’s Tony, but call me Bubba. It doesn’t, you know,(…) whatever you want to do, as long as it’s food. But it’s correct. That’s what I want to know. Oh, it calls me Tony. Okay. It probably tells me, it calls me fucking Tony, but it’s still, Oh, I was about to say that. It still calls me Tony.
(…)
So, uh, so I think it’s great. I love, I love the idea that we’ve exported the American Jeep all around the world. Uh, I’m just looking forward to, uh, the, the new team. Keep doing a better job selling them. And, uh, and I think that if they need to, yeah, I think that if they get back to the American values and the Americans consumer and what we want, uh, it would be the best. You’re not a subscriber to the Jeep talk show newsletter. Are you? Oh, I better do that. No, you don’t have to. It just, because I don’t, I don’t expect me to do that. I just got called out. I’m going to do that right after the show. But the reason why, yes, let’s just say that. Yeah, sure. So, uh, one of the reasons why I ask is I had, uh, Grock create a story for me. And the story was, and I included it in our newsletter and actually put it up on LinkedIn as well. I think it’s gotten over 300 views on LinkedIn, which is phenomenal for anything. Jeep talk show. It’s on there. Yeah. So the story, which I encourage you to go and read it, you can see it on our newsletter or over on LinkedIn for a Jeep talk show. Um, but it is a story about how Jeep is going to build a back to basics Jeep, uh, two door Dana 44 front and rear, open, open. Uh, it has no top, uh, has a roll bar, an actual roll bar, not a, uh, sports bar. Uh, it is a two door Jeep that has no top, uh, two seats and it’s made for taking off road. And yeah, and it just goes through the whole thing. The only, the only caveat to the non, uh, necessary stuff was a cup holder. And that cup holder needs to be able to hold a cup even while rock crawling.(…) Okay. Bouncing around. That is important. It’s important. Right. Yeah. Stay hydrated. Right. But no AC, I mean, maybe a heater, but no AC and it was, and I gave it the idea of what to write about and some of the details. And it wrote this really, really nice story. I thought it was hilarious.(…) And, but it’s written in the form of, this is what Jeep is doing. So I hope everybody knows it’s fiction. Cause I don’t want to get your hopes up.
(…)
People should know you by now.(…) Well, they don’t learn. So anyway, it’s the story has done very, very well. And I recommend if you, uh, I’m trying to include some, some stories, uh, cause it’s, it’s so easy to write. I have lots of ideas, but spending the time of actually writing everything down and getting the word, uh, the words in there correctly and stuff, uh, is so much easier with AI. So it’s just a tool that allows my creativity to be a pretty duck by something else. So we’re trying to include some stories in, uh, in the newsletter the week before it was about, uh, a gentleman that was working on his Jeep and was almost crushed, but he accidentally at his tire and wheel that he had taken off close enough to the Jeep. So that when it fell off the Jack, it stopped on the tire and wheel. And he was certainly, he would have been certain he would be crushed if he hadn’t done that. I think it’s important. I think it’s important for people to know that if you’re going to take the wheels off your Jeep and you’re going to have this six ton behemoth above you, give yourself the best chance you can. Right.(…) Yeah. Don’t, don’t get in the way of it. I mean, you don’t need that dropping on you. Jack stands, Jack. There’s this, you can’t be sure, you know, but if you take the wheel and even if it damaged the tire and the wheel, you can buy another one. They can’t buy another year, at least not yet. That’s true. That’s true. I saw some, some gadget that was really cool and I need to look it back up, but it was an extra protection for your Jack. So it just really made sure that everything stays in place. Um, but yeah, that anything you can find to make sure that that Jeep’s not going to come down and fall on you. Well, you know, sometimes the, the Jack may not fail, but because of the, the surface that you’re on or just because you didn’t do it, it could, it could lean over and now the whole Jeep’s coming down. So I think anything you can do to make sure you’re safe. And frankly, we need as much viewers as we don’t want them dying off. No, that is true. All right. So save y’all. All right, April. So, uh, I want you to chime in here on the ones you’re going to be, uh, these events that you’re going to be going to. So Jeep announced 2025 event lineup, including Myrtle beach. Oh, these already happened. I get the feeling. So, no, so actually Myrtle beach Jeep jam, I, and you know, you send me the show notes like a minute before the show, but I was, I was so stoked to see that one on there. I’m actually helping, um, host that one, uh, with one of their main hosts. So, uh, Myrtle beach, Jeep jam will be here over Halloween weekend. So it’s just about to come up, but we are, I was actually on the messages with him today, um, working through some things. So, and my daughter’s going to be joining me. So we’re going to be out there, um, representing kind of outside the arena, the obstacle course and doing some interviews and, um, having a lot of fun. But I did that one last year as well. Uh, but it’s, you know, at the beach, they do a beach crawl. So you can actually, it’s the one time a year that you can drop on the beach and, you know, watch the sunrise and see the waves. And then they do something called the poker run. Um, it’s a game where you have to go to different, uh, places and, and check in and, you know, get a poker chip.
(…)
And
(…)
I was just going to ask, I was going to ask, what does it have to do with poker? But, uh, poker chip. Yeah. So you get, yeah, you have to, I forget all the exact details of it. I did it last year, but it was a lot of fun. So probably heavily drinking. So you can’t really remember.
(…)
I hear you. I hear you, but that was fun. It was a game. You can win some nice prizes. I didn’t win anything. That’s why I don’t remember all the details. It wasn’t, it wasn’t alcohol. And gosh, then the venue set up. And then of course, you know, the fun you have in the evenings at the different places that sponsor the event. Are you concerned about taking your daughter at all? I’ve never been to this thing. Sometimes they can kind of be of an adult nature. No, not at all. A matter of fact, um, it’s actually extremely family friendly. Nice. Um, so she went last year and she also represented as well. She brought some of her girlfriends with her. And they did some things, you know, walking around and enjoying it. But, you know, during the day for the main show event, you have your vendors, you have the obstacle course, right? Slap dab in the middle. Um, and there’s a great guy there named Tom that he is a super host and he just kind of engages the crowd. They have, you know, kind of like a little bit of seat set up stadium tight. And so you can watch, you know, cheer them on, go through the mud pits. Is it kind of close or is there a lot of walking?(…) Um, it’s close, but there, you know, there’s definitely some walking. So, um, but yeah, how about restaurants? Is there a lot of good places to eat? There’s a lot of nice restaurants. Um, Myrtle Beach, you know, if you’ve never been to Myrtle Beach, it’s, it’s big. Um, so pretty much whatever you want to eat is around very, very fun place. Um, you can, of course you can find trouble anywhere you go in any place, but no Myrtle Beach, cheap jam is definitely family friendly. How about a, uh, a good vendor turnout? Are there a lot of vendors out there? A lot of good vendors. Yes. Yes. A lot of good sales. So, uh, I was out there with, um, JF tops as well last year as well as Myrtle Beach, cheap jam, but yeah. So a lot of, a lot of vendors, pretty much, you know, whatever you’re looking for, you can find out there. Yeah. JF tops got excited about you being on the show. Oh yeah. John is great guy. Yes. Yeah. So I had John on that, uh, not too long.
(…)
Fun interview. Did you see that interview where we were talking about? Yeah.
(…)
Yeah.
(…)
And that does not surprise me.
(…)
Oh, and this has nothing to do with Myrtle Beach. If you guys didn’t see that or didn’t see that interview, you should see it. They had, I think they had a good time. I think they were a little surprised, but they had a good time. They’re super sweet. I really enjoy them. So yeah.
(…)
So Myrtle Beach. Uh, October 31st through November 2nd. Uh, you can see April out there and Jeep beach and Daytona. That one has already happened. That’s the, it has already happens. Yeah. There we go. Uh, but, uh, did you go to that one? Were you at that one? I did. I was with Midland at that one as well. Um, so, and I’m, I’ll be there next year as well with them, but yeah, Jeep beach is a fun one too. So, and you could be on the Jeep all on the beach all the time with your Jeep for that one. Uh,(…) so, uh, yeah, we’re going to talk anymore about that one. Uh, oh, and not this year, but, uh, 2026, the Eastern Jeep safari and Moab April 20th, uh, that’s, that’s strange. I have the 20th through the 20th. I think it’s actually the April 10th of the 20th, but go online and check for yourself. Uh, and, uh, if you, uh, if you haven’t been to Eastern Jeep safari, that is like, and people, everybody says this, that, that is like the, the Jeep Mecca where you need to travel to, uh,(…) Moab. And I would say do it during Eastern safari because that’s a great time to go. Uh, and also so you get to see the concept Jeep concept vehicles and it’s just a miraculous place to see. And I know I’ve asked you this before and I think the answer is yes, but, but you’ve been to Moab and yes.
(…)
So I’ve been to Moab, but I actually have not been to EJS. I’ve considered it this year, but it was over, was it over Easter this year?
(…)
Trying to remember. Uh, it’s a, it’s always around that time, but I don’t know if that actually, for me, it would have involved Easter. Yeah, I think it was done. Uh, so if there was traveling time, you probably would not, would not have been at home, home in time for Easter. That’s what it was. And then the other thing with that is Jeep beach is backs right up to it. So for me, that would have been the whole month pretty much traveling. What do you like better? The ones where you’re, um, hobnobbing with the goober smoochers or you’re actually wheeling, because that’s, that’s really what EJS is. It’s not really as much hobnobbing as it is. I mean, there’s a lot of that going on, especially, uh, you’ve never been to EJS now sun, uh, sun bar grill, sundown grill sundown grill. Oh, I know what you’re talking about. What an event. Uh, and yeah, and I care less about the event and the people that are out there. Uh,(…) then the steak that they serve.(…) Oh my God. It was absolutely fantastic.(…) I missed it the first time I went there because I was busy doing something else. Uh, but in 2024, when I went and I would have gone 2025 as well, just, just didn’t afford it, but the goal is for the show to make enough money so that I can go and actually justify that money is well spent. Uh, but, uh, I love going and I told you, I told you before I got my wife to go, uh, in 2024, she loved it. Absolutely. She was against it and I had to like threaten her. Yeah. You need to go, you need to go. Right. And as soon as we got started getting close to Moab, it was like, uh, it was like that, that, that thing where you see Hillary Clinton with her mouth open. Oh gosh.
(…)
Cause she was so amazed. And when you, when you take somebody, whether it’s a child or a loved one or a wife, a spouse, and you, and you know what, how you felt about it. And then when you see them react that same way, it brings back the memory. It brings back the memory of that excitement in their first time that you enjoyed it. So it just, it was wonderful. And, uh, yeah, she got to see her. Oh, we had the, the G tops, which are the clear tops for the freedom pass. So not only, not only did we get to see it through the windshields and stuff. I mean, I know you can take the top off, but come on, it’s Moab, it’s dusty. Uh, it could be cold. It could be hot. So the, the G tops has made it perfect. Cause you can just sit there in the air conditioning and still get the view. You know, we’re, yeah, she’s originally from Mexico, but moved here in third grade into Texas.(…) So both of us don’t know much about snow.(…) So yeah, I don’t know much about snow either here. Okay. Well then, you know, as far as when you see it, we were going up, uh, some switchbacks and it started snowing and she just happened to be outside the, uh, the gladiator taking pictures. Uh, barefoot when it started snowing, so she’s dancing around in the snow. Yeah. And with these big, big flakes, I was, it was just wonderful.(…) Uh, and thankfully she had a really good time with it and we really enjoyed ourselves. Um, but anyway, I certainly recommend it and you don’t need to have anything but a Jeep to go out there there. I say you can do 85% of the stuff on a stock Jeep. If you’ve got a Rubicon, you can probably do it all. Uh, it’s just, uh, sometimes you need more clearance.
(…)
Get over things. So I actually had a few people reach out to me, ask asking what the setup on the gladiator was cause they wanted to go and they were concerned. Also too, I’ll mention, uh, that you, it’s really nice when you go out there with somebody, uh, the great thing is, is that I think we had 30 people or 30 Jeeps, uh, Jeep talk show listeners and team members out at this year’s EJS.(…) So if you’re looking to go with somebody, please join the Jeep. I just might have to do that. Yep. So it’s a, it’s a great time to go. They had a big difference for me. I mean, I would have gone anyway, but it’s so much more fun to go out there with people.
(…)
Right. It’s true. That’s definitely true. So like I was saying earlier, earlier Jeep is getting involved. Not that they have been, haven’t been involved, but it was, uh, they were, they kind of backed off of events and things there. What was it? 24. And, uh, now that they’re getting back involved, I’m glad there’s somebody at the helm that says, uh, no, we, if you want to sell Jeeps, we need to be involved in things we need to be involved with the Jeepers. And I’m hoping that’s going to include listening to the Jeepers about what we.
