What happens when you stop asking for permission—and start building your own lane?
In this episode of Off the Beaten Path, we sit down with Pew Culture to talk about how he went from a casual shooter to one of the most influential voices in modern gun culture.
From breaking gatekeeping in the firearms industry to creating viral moments and building real community through events like Pew Party, this conversation dives into what it takes to shift culture from the inside out.
All right, folks.
SPEAKER_03Folks.
SPEAKER_02Hey, so uh this last season's been rolling out pretty freaking dope. That was all that shot show. Now we're at the end on the room.
SPEAKER_03And where?
SPEAKER_02In age time. Hold it down. Uh so folks, this season is starting off with an amazing guest. We love this guy. Um I could introduce him, Breezy can introduce him, but I'm gonna let him introduce himself. Pew Culture, my brother.
SPEAKER_01What up, what up, what up? Pleasure to be here. Um, you guys have always been just a staple in the community, making sure y'all highlight some really dope individuals. I don't even know how I ended up here because uh, you know, the caliber of people. Yeah, no, I know the caliber of people that you guys, you know, um highlight in the space is is is always humbling. You know what I'm saying? So you guys you guys do good work, you know. And I would there was no place I would rather start off my start off my experience at Enrocity. Podcasting here. Yeah, we appreciate that, bro.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so we know your story. The goal of our podcast is to bring people into the industry. We want to talk about obviously how us as minorities are coming into the space because it wasn't during COVID, it's when it really blew up, right? Yeah, there's been a big exodus during, like I want to say since the mid 2010s, but since COVID, it really blew up. And then your career as I know you're really in the industry, yeah, but your influencer content too has skyrocketed.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, how'd you get into the space, bro? Um, honestly, it it came from a pure consumer uh, I guess initiated from a pure consumer standpoint, right? So I started off just shooting my little brother. You know, we're shooting on a farm, um, and together just really bonding because we have an age gap, serious age gap. So that's how big is the age gap? Um, I think I was like 19 when he was born, you know. When he was born, yeah. So wow.
SPEAKER_02Shout out to having parents from the islands.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So um, you know, we have a serious age gap. So that was shooting was something that we we both found interesting and cool, and that we could bond over that, you know, despite our age gap. So we would always, every weekend we would go, you know, make it a thing to go shooting together. Yeah, and uh I would record that because it's me and my brother. It's like a priceless moment, right? Yeah, and once in a while I would share that a little bit on Facebook, just a little bit, and that started gathering attention. Um, nothing too crazy, but you know, when when you when you're not even thinking about social media and you start seeing like a few hundred people look at your stuff, you're like, oh, yeah, who are these people? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you know, it started growing till you know it went to like it went from a hundred people to a hundred thousand people to a hundred million. You know what I'm saying? So um let's get some let's let's get some love for that.
SPEAKER_02I think this one's the horn. I gotta impress myself.
SPEAKER_03That's the first thing. All right.
SPEAKER_02Let's go.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, we gotta get come on. So rewind, real quick. How did you get into like what was your first experience with a firearm?
SPEAKER_01Huh. So, you know, I'm from Belgium. You know, yeah. You know, my my first experience with firearms was was uh nothing honorable. Yeah, yeah. Nothing honorable. Um you know, we were young little wilds who were doing you know reckless things. Because of lack of education. That's it. So because of lack of education, lack of education, lack of exposure, lack of guidance from parents, because let's talk about the fact that minority groups have been programmed to believe that guns are bad. Programmed. That's right. So, you know, so then they avoid prepping their children. Because as a parent, what's your what's what is your main objective and role as a parent is to prepare your child to face the world, right? Um, and I think parents fail at that in the minority groups on a large scale by not preparing their children to face something that they will face regardless. Yeah. Firearms. You're gonna, this is in the world, this is you know, this is everywhere. Whether you're in the United States where you can have firearms legally, or even in another country, yeah, or you're in a third world country, you know, you're gonna face these things. Yeah, yeah. Um, and parents are so, you know, have been taught to be so scared of these things. Why is that? Because historically, our oppressors didn't want us to know what or have the power to wield these things. Yeah, so they programmed us to be afraid of these things. They were bad, they were terrible. You have, if you go to any minority group, whether you go to the Latino community, the black community, anyone who served, you know, as either you know uh slaves or indentured servants under the European rule, one thing you'll find in commons is all these groups are afraid of firearms.
SPEAKER_02That's a fact. That's no coincidence.
SPEAKER_01That's a fact. That's no coincidence. What when the exact people who who you know really fostered this culture of firearms are so into firearms. They teach their kids from very young. So why is it that the minority groups are so scared of it? It's not a coincidence. This is not like some cultural thing. This is by design. This is this is by design, right? Yeah, so we were taught not to not to be um sorry, can I curse on here? Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01I've been I've been holding back words because of it. Oh, yeah, yeah, no, be yourself, bro. Um, but you know, we were taught, we were taught not to do it, and and that's not when I say that, I'm not knocking, you know, anyone now because you know, if if you're if you're Caucasian now, like it wasn't you who did this. You know what I'm saying? I want to be very clear about it. I'm not knocking, I'm not, I'm not, this, I'm not attacking anyone. I'm just stating a fact. Yeah, this is how we got here.
SPEAKER_032026, we're here now.
SPEAKER_01This is how we got here.
SPEAKER_03The two-way is for everyone. Exactly. That's it.
SPEAKER_01I don't want anyone to feel like I'm knocking, I'm I'm I'm attacking any group or saying I blame you or this. I'm just saying stating the fact on how we got from where we were to where we are, right? Um, and that's how we got here. And so, and that's a hundred percent why I was whiling in my teens with firearms. Yeah, because I didn't have the preparation to not while you know, okay.
SPEAKER_02But you know, it's the same because yo, bro, me and my brother grew up in a in a rough part of town, bro. That was uh that's our story, bro. Yeah, I just shared a post about the Pearl 38 special. Yeah, that was our first, that was our first gun. We were 15, you know, like our friends, some of our friends realized, like, yeah, man, these dudes are crazy. And it's not like that, you know, that we're crazy, we're just we're gonna explore these firearms, yeah, you know, by any means necessary. And now the story, I've repeated it every season now, but you know, I I have I have uh concealed carry because of Breezy when we opened up our business. So I'm 100% on par with you. So how does that how does that fuel you now? Because I think anybody in the space who knows you and knows about your presence knows exactly what you do. Yeah, but for like the newcomers coming in, tell them let's let's jump a little bit. Let's tell them how you your um your uh trigger, how the experience going from different ranges, you're bringing people into the space.
SPEAKER_01So in general, even beyond like the trigger or anything like that, how I really I guess blew up in the space was because when I started to get access to certain things, and actually let's take it back. When I came into the space, there was a hundred percent gate keep gatekeep culture, yeah, right. Meaning that if guys had nice things, they made sure that you knew that that wasn't for you. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um, and again, not knocking anyone because I think everybody has the right to act and feel however the fuck they want. Yeah, I don't give a fuck, right? Yeah, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not someone to bitch about how the world is. Yeah, I change it. That's it. You know, yeah. You're gonna find it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Give the applause going. You know what I'm saying? It's almost done. Hold on.
SPEAKER_01You know, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna sit here and bitch and moan about, you know, oh, the world should be this way or the world should be that way. I can change, I don't play the hands I'm dealt, I switch the cards. That's it. You know what I'm saying? You're gonna find your lane, and you found your lane. Exactly. So, you know, I created a world that I wanted to live in in my two-way space. Yeah, that's it. Point blank, right? Um, so funny enough, when I would, even guys who come from that gatekeep culture, now I've created my own lane, you know, when they want to hang out and they want to go to a range with me, and now they have you know super expensive guns, and they see me take my super expensive guns and just hand them to complete strangers and be like, you need to try this. Yeah, now they're looking and they're like, You want to try mine? Yeah, yeah, that's good. So we're we're changing culture, right? And that's how I I went from you know, thing into pu culture because I came in to change culture. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, let's go, bro. You know, that's what we need to do. That's it, that's it.
SPEAKER_03Person and birth. So I know we're kind of jumping around. When was it that it switched, like, oh, I can this can be my business?
SPEAKER_01So initially, when I started, you know, uh gathering all this attention, um, people would hit me up and I started seeing a common thing where people would say to me, you know, well, you're in the industry, so you think, and I'm like, I would respond like, I'm not in the industry, I'm just like you. Yeah, you know, I'm just a consumer, right? And I was in the military at the time. Thank you for your sir, yes, sir. You know, Navy Corpsman, you know, doing doing my thing, you know, uh every day. And um, but the reality is as a military, as you know, service members don't earn a lot of money, right? Yeah, so you know, and certain challenges come with that naturally. Um, I'm doing my thing, people would start saying, you know, you're in the industry, and I'm I'm showing up to work every every day, you know, and I'm I'm thinking, one day it hits me. Why am I fighting these people telling me that I'm in the industry? What if I just embrace it and that moment just changed and I just started embracing it? Let's go. And you know, from then my life changed. Yeah. When was that? Like what year are we talking? I was still in, so it was definitely pre-pandemic.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it was probably right at the break of the pandemic.
SPEAKER_02Wow.
SPEAKER_01Um, yeah. So yeah, and and it was funny enough. So some some viewer, supporter really one day, I don't specifically remember who it was. Yeah, yeah. One of you people who DM'd me changed my changed my perspective. Yeah, you know, just one day I was just like, why am I why why am I fighting this? I was you know when you type you're typing a response to somebody and you stop, yeah, and you're like, why am I why do I keep doing this? Yeah, I keep shutting this down. Yeah, why am I blocking my blessing? You know what I'm saying? Man, let's go.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I love that. And uh what yeah, when you really step into what you're called to do, bro, yeah, that's where you flourish.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and you've definitely flourished. And my life has changed significantly ever since, bro. Um, you know, just just to be clear, I don't have any formal education. You know, I didn't go to college, yeah, you know, I didn't I didn't do all the things that we're taught to do. Yeah, you know, I just embraced my calling. That was it. That's it, bro. That was it, yeah. And my life changed ever since.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so now let's fast forward a little bit. Let's take us back to what two years ago? Pew Party. We gotta talk about Pew Party because actually, so many things were born out of Pew Party. I want to tip my hat off to the brothers from We the People. Yeah, shout out to y'all. We love what y'all are doing, pushing the culture forward. Yeah, that's what we're about. But let's talk about Pew Party because that was an event that the space hadn't seen anything like that. Well, we also have um a regular meetup, yeah, yeah. So shout out to shout out to Lito, shout out my brother.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but talk about Pew Party, bro. So Pew Party, um so Jay the shooter, uh uh shout out Jay reached out to me uh on Instagram. I I I shoot on a farm in Virginia, right? Yeah, I shoot on my own farm, right? And because of this massive space that I have, Jay thought I was in Texas. Jay lives in Virginia, right? I live in Virginia. Uh so Jay hits me up and he's like, hey, I love what you're doing. I'd love to come visit and shoot with you sometime. I'm always in Texas. I'm like, at this point, I had never even been to Texas, you know. So he was, I was like, okay, well, why are you going to Texas? Yeah. And he was like, Well, I come want to come shoot with you. And I go, I'm in Virginia. He was like, No, shit, I'm in Virginia. I'm like, Yeah. So we linked up. Um, and Jay wanted to do something together. Now he had ideas about doing, you know, multiple things. He was doing lowers, he was doing all kinds of stuff. And you know, I kept shutting all those suggestions down. And I said, We have to do an event together.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01If you if there's anything, we do an event. Because, in my opinion, I had been doing smaller things on my property where I would just invite people out, 50 people, you know, everybody come out, you know, shout out to DMV shooters from from the DMV area. DMV. Um, you know, um, those guys would come out, different bunch of groups of people would come out and shoot with me. And I saw just that access to that level of freedom, yeah. How it impacted people, you know, how their perspective, their energy, their you know, their aura changed. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And um, so you get almost like a high from from providing that feeling to people. Yeah, and I said I wanted to do it on a bigger scale. So um we started off the first pee party backyard in Virginia, some real just, you know, just real root shit. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, ground up type. And that, I mean, I mean, we we had my boy so Iri out here doing, you know, managing parking, you know, like it was just some straight bark backyard barbecue type shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that shit went crazy viral, you know what I'm saying? Um if you've ever seen Tactical Turkeys, yeah, of course. Their page literally was born out of P Party One. They I think that one video did like a hundred and something million views for them, or something like that. The the the the 50 calm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, a lot of crazy moments came from that, and then uh out of that, we started getting, you know, companies started reaching out, like, how do we get an invite? Yeah, you know, yeah, and so that birthed Pew Party 2, which went from just a backyard experience, yeah. You came to a legit industry event. We had like every major manufacturer there, you know, booths like you see at NRA, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, yeah. We had legit, I mean, uh it had just not been done on that scale by us.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um, and we were able to bring that to the to the to the industry. Where was that one at? That was in um Orlando, Claremont, Florida. Oh, that was our backyard. Yeah, yeah. So that was in Orlando. Um we went to Pew Party 3. Yeah, in Texas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um, and then, you know, let's even fast forward to Pew Party 3. I mean, we had multiple helicopters. Yeah. We had to, we had one guy request to come in on his private helicopter to the event. And we had to shut that down because we already had two helicopters going back and forth super fast, shooting guns. Yeah. And for safety reasons, I mean, as cool as it would have been, like, you know, we had like we had a lot going on. Great choppers. Yeah. Yep. Um, so you know, bringing, but the whole premise of the event was bringing experiences that typically um minority groups look at their phone and they only consume these experiences from their phone. That's it. There, you know, that had traditionally just not been something that they had access to. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and so, you know, we wanted to take those experiences and make them for everybody. Yeah, yeah. Not just you didn't have to be somebody.
SPEAKER_03Look who we went to Pew Party 3 with.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Someone that had never been around a gun, never touched a gun. So this guy grew up in a culture that was afraid of guns. The police and the bad guys had guns. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Colombian.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, man. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02He used to work for us when we had the recording studio. Yeah. And he walks up to us, he's like, guys, is it okay if I shoot? We're like, Yeah, let's go tell somebody. I don't know how to shoot. He's like, he went to Ross Martin. He was with those guys. He's like, Really? Shout out to Ross Martin. Yeah, shout out Ross Martin.
SPEAKER_03Marcus and his team. And he was like very child, you know, like very timid. We're like, go, bro. They'll they'll teach you. It's okay. You don't have to know any. Tell them you've never shot a gun before.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_03And you could see him. We're just watching him. And he, you know, first couple times, you know that. And he came back. He's like, You could when you said that you saw people change and their aura change at the pew party, we witnessed that firsthand from him.
SPEAKER_02And he was like, he wouldn't stop talking about it. That's probably talked about after that. Back to the to the crib. I gotta get a gun. I gotta be the best. I'm I wanna be John Wick, John Wick.
SPEAKER_03Slow down, bro. Let's take a time. But to see that from being shy and timid and nervous about it to feeling empowered and ignited when he walked away, and we could see it like that, like a light switch.
SPEAKER_02I was like, bro, I thought it was illegal. Yeah, you know, because that he was going through the citizenship process. He got his citizenship. Yeah. So he's not an illegal alien. Me too. Let me again. Let's go. Chopper.
SPEAKER_03Shout out to Chopper.
SPEAKER_02Shout out to Chopper. And so um, and so he was like, yo, I didn't know I couldn't even know I could own one. Yeah. So that's the level of influence and impact that like we're having. Yeah. Not only us as a business, but even you for what you're doing. That's like, I don't think people realize like the level of it, right? Because the only people who really know about their gun rights are the people who know about it. You don't know what you don't know.
SPEAKER_01Shout out to all the three-letter agencies watching this trying to press us, we good. You know what I'm saying? Like ATF, ICE, you know what I'm saying? Like, we good.
SPEAKER_02We're super Gucci. Exactly. Oh, yeah. Ain't none of us running.
SPEAKER_01We got motherfucking lawyers with us. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_02Shout out to the boy Mark Chopper.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I don't even know what that is.
SPEAKER_01I don't even know what that should be. Shout out to Mark Chopper. You know, you know, uh living weapon.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop playing with him. Mind that even soul. That's it. Remember, uh, what was it last year or the year before? The ATF Kick down series? Yeah. Wow. So, yeah, to the alphabet boys, we know our rights. We're oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. Y'all watching this shit now. I don't give a fuck, bro. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? We good. You gotta look at the camera when you say that. Yeah, yeah. You know, Mark, you know, I'm I'm gonna don't let me get Mark. Yeah, yeah. Yo, Slim. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna have to get a lawyer right after this. Yeah, I'm gonna hit, I'm gonna chop up. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So now let's fast forward a little bit from Pew Party 3. Yeah, the Taurus, yeah, the TX22. Yes. Let's talk about that. Like, how what was that idea behind that? Because it was born. Yo, so real quick, let's go back a little bit. For y'all that are listening, we by accident flew out of the same exact city in Florida. So uh, Dahl, you want me to call you doll? All right, so doll, he goes to Florida a lot. He was in Orlando, and our flight to come here connected in Orlando in Orlando. And so we were walking on, I was like, Look at this guy, look at this guy. He looks up, he goes, Yo! And we all sat in the front, not because we got money, but because we're bougie, we need space, and so um, we're in the front busting the balls of the uh of the airline people, we're having fun and all that. And um my son, I remember hearing my son say, Dad, have you seen those TX22 videos? I was like, Yeah, I said, Yo, that's my homie who does all that. He's like, What? So we're at baggage claim. I FaceTime my son and say, Yo, this is my boy Walmright, he's the one who does all the and he was like, Whaaaaa! So talk to us about what was the idea behind that.
SPEAKER_01Uh well, I have multiple things to address. First of all, we was we was clowning the fucking pilot.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was.
SPEAKER_03He was strong, he looked like he was gonna rip the uh whatever that thing is off. He was clowning the pilot, you know, the throttle, the um the thruster.
SPEAKER_01And when we took off, you could tell his muscles was engaged. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he was everyone lock in. Yeah, he does. He does it. Um, but so TX-22, that's a long story. It goes back to even like when the original Gen 1 was launched. Um a lot of people don't know, but we were the ones who brought the TX-22 uh to uh optic ready status, right? Okay. The first Gen 1 did not mount an optic to the slide, and at that time there was no 22 pistol that mounted uh uh optic to a reciprocating slide. We brought that to the market. Um, Taurus hit us up, you know, and we that's when our relationship was born with Taurus. Um, we you know, we showed them what we did. You know, next thing you know, the gen the gen uh one and a half comes out with an optic ready version. You know, uh it's you know, we actually sent uh some to Taurus so they could check out, you know what I'm saying? Um a beautiful relationship was born. Shout out my my my dude Chan. Yeah, shout out to Chan. That's our brother. Shout out George. Out Grand no longer with Taurus, but Grant is another real one. You know, everybody over there, man, super dope team at Taurus. Yeah. We started something together that has now grown into something just fathomable. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And trust me, guys, we're working on dope things for the future as well. Big things to come. But you know, we started something that just blew up probably the most sold gun in towards in the fourth quarter at least. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, God.
SPEAKER_03You couldn't avoid that. Hands down, probably the most sold gun. We saw that everyone.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, everywhere. But there was one like, what's the old dude?
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, hey man. Hey man. You know that's uh if they catch you with that, yeah. Yep.
SPEAKER_02And then what was the edit? What did you cut to on that one? Whoop-dee-doo. Yeah, we gotta get it.
SPEAKER_01And then so you know, I mean, it was like it was like I dropped an album, you know what I'm saying? And you know, Taurus is over 200,000 units back ordered right now. Wow. Um, you know, that's that's yo, hold on. That's even somebody's gonna be in the comments, you know, like, oh, are you getting paid? Yeah, I'm good. I'm a Gucci. You know what I'm saying? We were front seat. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You know, I'm good, you know what I'm saying? Let's see. You know, one thing, another thing we have to address is that uh as we get into the space, we also have to understand that there's a business aspect of this that we must be you know aware of, right? And you have to make sure you're taking care of business. And trust me, we take care of business. Yeah, um, so because at the end of the day, we're here, we're all here. These things cost money, and we have to make sure that we're fueling that fire by taking care of the business industry as well as the entertainment side of it, right?
SPEAKER_03And pushing this industry forward exactly, bringing more of us into the space because you know, if we got all this money to spend on Jordans, yeah, yeah, and name brand, go get you a piece for the house.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. Go get you a license to carry if you need one in your state. Thank God we live in Florida. Yeah, we're not right now in the great state of Texas, so you know it's just an extension of your property. But if you live in a state that requires uh a permit, go get one. Yeah, go get one. Just go get one, get your house ready for whatever. Because, like you said, in in the minority communities, we're familiar with them, but from the other perspective. Exactly. Like, oh, it's dangerous. You're either a cop or you're a bad guy. And we ain't both.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and he's even as a white dude in the burrs, like the first pistol I saw was a street burner. Yeah, breezy mic, you didn't tell me breezy mic, yeah. Okay, I'm lying. Outside of hunting in that environment, the first pistol I saw, the 38 or the 380.
SPEAKER_01It had a 38 in it, either way. That's it, you know. But um, yeah, nah, but so going back to TX22, so TX22, um, I don't scan the internet, right? I I typically just get on there, drop some shit, get off. So a lot of people like behaving, like, you saw this, I don't be seeing shit. You know what I'm saying? Like, I am so caught up in in stuff that I'm doing. Everything is, you know, every, you know, I take a moment, I go, I put some shit up, and I and I leave. Yeah. Um, uh, the most I'll do is you'll see me responding to a lot of comments because not comments, uh messages, because that's where a lot of my customer base reaches out, right? So I try to I try my best to uh to respond to as much as possible. I'm only one person, so you know I can I can only do so much, right? So if he didn't, if I didn't respond to you, it's no no shade, but there's a flood of messages, you know, I'm trying to do my best, right? Yeah um so that's where I spend my time. Somebody that I know um out of jor out of Georgia sends me a message and shows me this this this teaser for a TX22 FRT. There it is, here we go, here we go. Holy shit. But I look at all the clips and none of it sports a suppressor. I needed to know why. So I reached out to Andrew from Freedom Fingers, you know, directly, and I was like, hey, you know, um, and shout out to having a little bit of like clout that you can just reach out to people like they respond, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Because there's a time where you can reach out to people and they don't respond. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, I reached out to him directly and I said, yo, and I love what you what what you what I see here, but I noticed that not one of it sports a suppressor. Why is that? They're like that's for me, you know. You ever heard the term don't don't you think that's suspicious? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, of course, like why like it's 22. That's like 22 and suppression is handsome. You can't do it. If you out here rocking a 22 without a suppressor, you ghetto. You know what I'm saying? Like, like you need you need to get right. You you fucking up. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, why, why, so why aren't they running a suppressor? And somebody's gonna comment, oh well, I want to hear the noise, then you're going to jail. Because I can do that shit in my backyard. Yeah, you know, I can't. I have shot 22 like cop cars going by, and just to prove a point, I I'll show my friends that look cop car going by. Nothing, no response. That's that's wide. 22. Get a suppressor. Don't be ghetto. All right. So um, Andrew, I said to Andrew, you know, why is that? He says, Well, I can't get it to run, you know, this, this, this. I think it's a slide weight issue. So I said, hey, if you don't mind sending me an early version, let me work on that, right? And we made a deal that if I figured it out, you know, then you would you would let let me have that. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna I'm gonna work with you on marketing, but you let me have that. Yeah, you know, and we we we basically did a uh a gentleman's deal, you know, no contract with a gentleman's deal. And shout out to Andrew, because he has been solid the whole time. So you know, he ain't never switched up, you know what I'm saying? Like, um Andrew Freedom Fingers, go get it. Pew Culture, discount code, do your thing, right? You need it, trust me. Yeah, um, but Andrew kept it solid, man. And you know, so he sent it out. I did my testing, had the solution. Um initially, the solution looked a little different, but I needed to make it something that was dropping for everyone. Yeah, initially, you had to send us our slide, send us your slide, and we would do some work to it, and it would get you right. But then I'm I'm sitting here and I'm like, well, how do we make it like you can just order it online? I sent it to you and it's plug and play. And we came up with the rate reducing charge and handle, and that went crazy. Yeah, that's the one that's like we haven't been able to keep that in stock from since the day we launched. We haven't, there has been not there's no time that this thing has been like you can go on there and just order it and it just ships next day. That's not happening, yeah. Because the demand is so high, we haven't been able to keep up with it. Um, so if you're if you're thinking about getting a rate reducer, the best time is now because you need to get in line because it they don't ship right away.
SPEAKER_02Aka the sooner the better. Exactly.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you know, yeah. So well, that's when y'all know you hit a sweet spot too. Like that's when you know.
