Episode 175: Ovidio and Pablo

On episode 175, we're hanging out with a couple of awesome guests who traveled a long way to be here: Ovidio Calvet from Mexico and Pablo (Las Cosas de Movilla) from Spain!Fresh off their visit from Blade Show West in Salt Lake City, the guys give us their take on the show, what the vibe was like, who showed up (and who didn't), and how it compares to the big show in Atlanta.We also dig into some really good stuff:-The Prototype A1 finally has a name, a TOPS collaboration designed by Ovidio himself. -What the knife laws and culture are like in Mexico and Spain versus the U.S.-The challenges of being a collector when new knives are dropping every week.It's a great conversation with friends from different parts of the knife world. Big thanks to Ovidio and Pablo for stopping by the shop and sharing their stories with us.

This week, we debate whether one of us is a superhuman eater or a complete liar after he describes a breakfast that defies the laws of physics. That spirals into a discussion on the cardinal sin of raising your own food: giving it a name.We also witness one of the most incredible self-destructions in sports history, breaking down a football game where a team did everything possible to lose. It’s a masterclass in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. You gotta hear it to believe it.

He's back! Craig survived hernia surgery and is in the studio to tell us all about it. We get the full rundown on the recovery, which somehow leads to a deep dive into the terrifying reality of multi-day hiccups and what it actually means to get sedated.We also get into Leo's plan for a pretty badass tattoo, which kicks off a debate about tattoos in general. Of course, the conversation eventually spirals into the big questions, like whether you'd upload your consciousness into a robot and the ethics of simulated prison sentences.

We've got Clint and Chad in the studio with us, and we kick things off with the news about Craig's upcoming hernia surgery and how it's wrecking his hunting season. That discussion somehow takes a hard left turn into organ donation, government conspiracies, and a story about why one of us got barred from running for mayor.After that, we get lost in a full-on hunting rabbit hole (pun intended), talking everything from shotgun chokes to hunter orange requirements. The whole thing wraps up with a question we guarantee you’ve never thought to ask yourself: can an elk have Down syndrome? Yeah. We went there.It's one of those episodes where the conversation just goes everywhere. To our 3 listeners, thanks for sticking with us through the chaos!

Well, this episode is... a little different. We tried to multitask, and the result is pure, unfiltered chaos. 😂We're recording Episode 171 while Clint is running our VERY FIRST live auction over on the Whatnot app, right here in the same room. We're trying to kick off our own "paperclip to a car" challenge, with all the proceeds going right back into making this podcast better for you guys. Since we don't run sponsors, this is how we can keep improving the show and our gear.So, join us as we get completely distracted listening to Clint's sales pitches, make fun of him from across the room, and try to have a conversation in between. We also get sidetracked with talk about the upcoming Blade Show West, why it always lands during hunting season, and whether or not deer get "stocked" like fish.It's a weird one, but it was a lot of fun. Thanks for listening!

We are back! On episode 170, we're kicking things off with the big announcement: we're launching a TOPS Daily Grind Whatnot to help us keep the podcast rolling. We're starting with a table full of... well, treasures. 😉 From gag gifts and bizarre gadgets (wait'll you see the "luxury" candle) to some genuinely cool finds, the goal is to have some fun, raise some funds, and trade our way up to bigger and better stuff for you guys.We also dig into what we've been up to this summer. One of us went on a cruise and tells us all about that adults-only life, seeing flying fish, and almost entering the Bermuda Triangle. We also talk about dealing with a rock chuck invasion at the shops and trying to get our gardens to grow some veggies. We also get into learning scrollwork engraving, Taylor Swift news, and, of course, a few Denver Airport conspiracy theories.It's a fun one, folks. Thanks for hanging with us.
