Subie Scoop - May 4

[00:00:07] Hello and welcome to another edition of the Subie & YOU! Of course, because of what the date is today, I have to say, may the 4th be with you. For those of you that know, you know, and I hope that most of you know. You should know. Come on. Okay, now that I'm done geeking out, I hope everybody had a great weekend. Maybe some people will be watching some Star Wars marathons today. That would be cool, wouldn't it? I may have to do that.

[00:00:36] I may, this evening, I may have to watch some Star Wars. At least one of them. Anything. Anything Star Wars today. Come on. So, I hope y'all had a good weekend. I had a good weekend and I actually had a long week because I went up to Kelly's house on Friday, April 24th and I didn't come back until Saturday the 2nd, May 2nd. So, I was up there for just over a week and that was really, really nice.

[00:01:06] And I'm glad that I was able to do that. Alright, so every time I'm at her house, she and her daughter get together and pull some sort of prank on me. And I had been there for most of the week. I had been there for several days and I was thinking like, this is weird because like they haven't pulled a prank on me at all. And then on, I think it was on Friday when I was there, she showed me this video or maybe it was Saturday, Friday or Saturday.

[00:01:33] She showed me this video of her pouring water in front of the refrigerator, like right below the door. And I was like, what is going on? Because she was telling me that the refrigerator was leaking and I was looking underneath the refrigerator with a flashlight. I was feeling under the doors. I looked up videos to try to figure out like where it might be coming from, what might be happening, why it's leaking.

[00:02:02] And it was her the whole time pouring water in front of the refrigerator every day and saying she didn't know what was happening. And she got me. She got me again. And they were both in on it. So, yeah, that was a good prank. But then, of course, I had to leave and leave her and her daughter and the pranks behind. Came back on Saturday, hung out with Luke Saturday night. And then Sunday, we went and checked out this indoor, of course, it was an indoor place,

[00:02:32] but checked out this golf simulator because it's a brand. It's franchised. It's called Back Nine and or the Back Nine. And they are looking to hire some UGC creators to create content for them. So the owner contacted me and we're going to talk this week about trying to get a video put together for him. So I'm hoping that will go well.

[00:02:57] But anyway, he had given me a discount code to come check it out and play free for an hour. So that was nice. And I hadn't swung golf clubs in, I don't know, maybe two years because I just don't play. I'm not a golfer. I like it. It's fun, but it's expensive. And I don't have golf clubs and I don't really have any friends that play golf. So I don't ever go.

[00:03:23] But I went with Luke and tried to teach him a little bit, like from my limited knowledge. And he did all right. But I remember the first time I tried to play, I really, really sucked trying to hit the ball. You know, you top it off, you miss it completely. But he did pretty decent. So I was proud of that. And I think I did pretty good for not having played in a long time.

[00:03:51] But I have a friend that used to play a lot. I don't know if he still, we haven't talked in a long time. But he was really good. And so because he used to play a lot with his dad and he played in tournaments and stuff. So he was the one that taught me the stance and how to swing and everything. So I pretty much owe everything that I've learned to him. So it was a pretty cool experience. And I'll go back there again.

[00:04:17] I think it was pretty fun because you don't have to worry about what the weather is. And it's open 24-7. It was a little odd because it was a place where I don't think there was any staff there. Like maybe, I think maybe somebody was there. Because I saw a guy walking around and maybe he is the owner that I talked to. But I'm not sure. I didn't introduce myself or anything because I wasn't sure if that's who it was. But anyway, it was a pretty cool experience.

[00:04:47] So if you have a back nine near you, again, they're franchised and they're all over the place. And you like golf, go look it up and check it out. Speaking of looking things up and checking them out, go check out Subaru Gear I hope that y'all are enjoying the videos that I've been putting together for them because I wanted to start doing something different. For a really long time, all I was doing was snagging images from the website and throwing them up in a reel.

[00:05:15] But I told them that I want some actual products so that I can actually, you know, show them and have them on hand and demonstrate them. If it's a shirt, I can wear it. If it's a hat, I can wear it. If it's a backpack, I can wear it. And that way you can actually see the product a little bit better, see it in use. And I've been having a lot of fun. So that's what I'm going to continue to do with Subaru Gear.

[00:05:40] But if you haven't been there for a while or if you've never been or if you go a lot, go check out SubaruGear.com. Fill up your cart.

[00:06:09] And thank you so much, SubaruGear.com, for sponsoring the SUBINJU podcast. Again, I'm putting the videos out on Tuesdays, but I'm also putting some stuff out here and there whenever I kind of feel like it. But my main posts will be on Tuesdays. So be sure to look for those. As a reminder, Overland Expo West in Flagstaff is coming up. It's next week. I was thinking about that earlier.

[00:06:37] I was like, I can't believe I'm going to be traveling next week and going to Overland Expo because it's been, you know, I've been anticipating it. And, like, now it's almost here. And, you know, I'm excited to go to the event. I haven't been crazy about the traveling part, you know, having to pack and make sure you have everything and go to the airport and do all of that. But, of course, once you get there, then everything's cool and it's worth it. But so I'm looking forward to going there.

[00:07:06] If you are going to be going to Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, come by the Subaru booth and say hi to everybody. And if you've never been to Overland Expo and you've been thinking about it, if you're on the fence, you should do it. It's a lot of fun. And, you know, at least come check it out for one day. And, you know, if you're in a situation, like if you're close enough, you can just come out for the day.

[00:07:30] If not, there's some camping sites, I believe, that are nearby and there are hotels that may already be booked up. So I don't know if that's an option. Either way, if you can make it, come out, check it out, come say hello. And I'm looking forward to seeing some people again that I haven't seen in a while. And, of course, I'm looking forward to meeting new people. Overland Expo last year was a lot of fun and I'm really excited about it.

[00:07:58] The booth for Subaru is actually in a much better spot this year, they said. Last year it was in a spot where there was a lot of just dirt around us and it was really windy. I mean, everything was getting covered in dirt and dust. And, like, the insides of all the cars at the booth were just covered in dust. All of our gear, like, we were covered in dust. It was kind of miserable. But we're in a better spot this time. So I'm looking forward to that.

[00:08:26] But anyway, I hope to see you out there and check it out. And then also there's three more events after that. And then, of course, we've got SubiFest events that are going to be starting up soon. So be sure to be on the lookout for that as well. But thank you all so much for tuning in to another edition of the Subie & YOU! I hope you all have a wonderful week. And we'll talk to you later. Much Subi love. Wrath. Three Pounds.
