Why America Is in Better Shape Than You've Been Told | Unify USA

0:00All the hate that we got, 80% of it was just people called me a Trumpi. They're like, hey, you're a Trumpi. And I always said, I'm not running for Trump. Hey, go what? I've had people spit on me. I've had people throw cigarette butts at me. Every single time I look them in the eyes, and I tell them I love them. You go to your truck, you take an American flag off the back of it. That's right. And you say, I'm going for a run. I just said, I'm running for the country, for the people, for America, for the firefighters, the first responders, the troops to respect this country and show that patriotism is still alive within the younger generation. Six hundred people showed up to run with American flags through Central Park. We put something on 10 days notice and have the biggest turnout we've had for a unified USA. The biggest flag run in American history. And that's what we fight for for a unified USA is human connection and foundation. There are patriots everywhere in America. They're just disconnected. This is Army of Normal folks where our mission is to make service easier for all of us.

1:03And together, change the country. Hey, our ride's almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago.

3:06can get surprisingly complicated. Especially when you're touring 30 plus cities, staying in hotels, flying, driving and basically living out of a suitcase. Frozen dog food sounds great until you realize you don't exactly have a freezer backstage. That's why I started bringing just fresh from just food for dogs. It's real fresh dog food made with human grade ingredients, with meat and vegetables. You can see in the bowl, but the difference is it's shelf stable, which means I don't need a freezer or a cooler and there's no prep. So now I can throw a few packs in my bag and Doug still gets a healthy meal wherever we are. Doug absolutely loves it and I like knowing I am feeding my baby something that's actually good for him. It's also the number one vet recommended fresh dog food made without preservatives or fillers. Go to justfoodfordogs.com and get 50% off your first order. Hi, it's Marcus Allen, pro football Hall of Famer, NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion. I played football for a long time. One thing I've learned is nobody really knows what's going to happen next. Before the snap, you can study the defense, you can know the play and you can see the opening.

4:11But eventually, you have to make a decision and go. For me, that was the fun of football. The moment between getting the ball and finding out whether you made the right read, I loved it. And it's why I understand what Underdog brings his sports fans. Because once you make your pick, you're not just watching anymore. Every snap matters, every yard matters, every decision matters. Everybody thinks they know what's coming next. Well, Underdog gives you somewhere to put that opinion into play. Pick them, money lines, totals, spreads, games and more across your favorite sports.

And before you even get into the story, what do you hope people get after listening to

5:14this episode from it? I believe, and I hope that Americans can feel as if there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. There is always hope for this country. And as an American, we will always be able to continually move forward to make this country a better place. The most beautiful part about America is it's built on the, it's built by the people, by the people. And we can continue to thrust forward as a nation, but collectively together. And I never think that America is too far. I never think that it'll ever get too bad. And no matter how bad it may seem at the time, there will always be hope. 100%. Cost your brother. Just rolled that out. I mean, I feel like Lee Greenwood ought to be playing in the plethora. You know, I'm proud to be an American and all that. That's right. But you know, I am really proud of my country. Is there? Just, but for perspective, before we go on, I'm also really proud of my kids.

6:16My kids are 31, 30, 29 and 28, or maybe 29, 30, 31 and 32. Anyway, that's all my kids are. Yes, sir. And they have done some really, really stupid stuff in their life. They have caused Lisa and I an enormous amount of consternation and frustration. They have messed up. They have done stupid things. They have engaged in behavior that I found abhorrent, but it does not mean that I'm not eternally proud and love them because good people make bad mistakes all the time. And that's part of growing up. That's part of aging. That's part of maturity. Our country is the same way. You can absolutely be very proud of a country who has made mistakes and continues to, but they continue to try their found way. They're found their way forward. Is there? So in what you're saying, you're not saying we're faultless. I say in America's perfect. I'm saying America's always worth fighting for. I love that. So, Teeke. Yes, sir.

7:16On September 3rd, I guess of last year, since your 22, 2025. I guess you're just hanging around looking at some apps on your phone, boarded tears at your house. That ought to be, yeah. Yeah. It's hanging out. Maybe playing video games. Do you do that? Honestly, at that point, it's not like I was sitting around like a couch potato. I still take care of myself, but within our country specifically, I just, I'd seen so much division on the internet. I was in this, oh, you mean social media? Yes, sir. I was on social media and I was in this endless scroll. I caught scrolling into the abyss, especially with political matters. And I just got so freaking frustrated. I got pissed off. Do you think it's possible that there are people with an enormous amount of power on wealth sitting in places like New York, Chicago, DC, and Silicon Valley that purposely craft narratives to drive you nuts? I couldn't actually have said that any better. You said that perfectly. I actually think it rolls deeper than that, honestly, but I do. Well, get to that. Yeah, I think there's narratives that are pushed to make people emotional and to emasculate

8:19men. Absolutely. And then you think too. And then you think too when you were talking about in the beginning, what do you want people to hear and kind of take from this show is that the media is feeding you something that's not true because every city that we go to, we went to Central Park in New York City with 700 people on 30 Marines and ran through the belly of the beast, which online and social media is showing right now. Like you can't even step foot in there with an American flag or you die. And we were in there with cheers and support and people supporting us. So it's start, it made us start to think in all these different cities that maybe America is not as bad as we think it is. And we're just being fed something on our phones every century. Yeah, we're definitely going to get to that. Yes, there are. But first, you're sitting there frustrated. And as I understand it, you go to your truck and you take an American flag off the back of it. Is right. And he say, I'm going for a run. I just got a run in. I'm going to go baby. Green Boile Bamers. But this is a do poor, Richie Florida. Would you think I'm going to run around the block with my flags negative?

9:20I said, I'm going to run so I can't no more. I'm just going to run to my legs, fall off and I ran 22 miles, somehow made it home. I don't know. Are you a runner? I kind of, I mean, I would want what do you do miles? I don't care. Marathon. We used to live in Cersei, Arkansas. And this guy would say, I'm going to go with no headphones in the rain and run a marathon. No training. This guy is a little psychopath. Like I'm not kidding. And he just has the will and the walk to. It's not that he really can or should. He would lay in bed for hours and hours, even days after because he'd be hurting so bad. But something inside of him just wanted to push himself and he wouldn't stop. And then he'd be like, costs I got in this flow state. Like I just didn't stop running. And I was like, all right. He's like, he should come with me. No. So you really did. You just literally on a limb, you got frustrated, you grabbed your flag, you put it over shoulder and you're living in Tampa Bay and you just take off around it. That's right. Well, there's a bit more layer. There's a couple of layers to it, actually. So if you want to peel the onion back, we do.

10:21I was laying in the bed of my truck and it was more like of a somber feeling like an ambient and a very spiritual moment for me. And it almost felt supernatural. I was laying in the bed of my truck and I don't want to say I felt purposeless. I just didn't feel intentional like within my life. I think a lot of not only high school students, college graduates, but kids within our generation feel as if they have this lack of purpose. Like, oh, I should be doing so much more, especially when you see other people on the internet over in Croatia and on yachts here and there. Everybody else's success triumphs mine. It's like, well, all of them are lying first off. But second off, you're exactly where the Lord needs you to be. You just need to take the next step forward. So instead of getting paralyzed by all this analysis of what you could be doing, it's better to just put that first foot forward, like literally and figuratively. Like I just decided, I prayed to the Lord for purpose for a reason. Like I want to serve people and I don't know what that is. I don't know how that looks. I opened my eyes. I seen old glory waving in the wind and I picked her up the next day.

11:23It genuinely is just, I would love to sit here and say, oh, I was this ambitious young man at 21 and I ran with the flag to unify the American people that didn't even come until the eighth day. I just said, I'm running for the country, for the people for America, for the firefighters, the first responders, the troops to respect this country and show that patriotism is still alive within the younger generation. So you picked up a flag and took off? That's it. It's that simple. And people it drives people crazy. It is that simple. So I understand that you got about 12 miles out and said, maybe I'd turn around, maybe maybe I just do produce a stupid dog. Maybe it's far gone. I got to run this much back. That's right. And your dad pulls up next to you on like all 17. Yes sir. Shrek in you on your phone. Yes sir. He has our location. And he's like, well, maybe you need to go check on my dog. He's been going to get to use out there running around. That was a hurt.

12:24I tried to shoot him a call earlier, but you know when you're running, you got your phone, your pocket gets all sweaty and you can't have to just tap him. I think no sir, I tried to sit here and call him, but the folks too sweaty. So it's all tanky and I try to call him and I can't. So my son's going to run home. He pulls up on me. I don't know if you saw in the video. There's a tear in my flag on mile 10 of the run. It got caught on a power line, the nail of a power line. And it ripped a hole in it. And I think that's why I went viral because everybody's like, why does this kid have a hole in his flag? Like he disrespected an American fight and I'm like, whoa, whoa, guys, I just didn't want to call. I don't want to be a wistying like call it Uber or nothing. I had to run at home. I got to run at home. And then that's when my father came up to me. It was about mile 17 and I was broken. I was beat and he was driving next to you. Yes sir. Yes sir. And and I was beat and spiritually I tapped into this separate sense that I'd never felt in my life. The only Bible verse I knew at the time was Philippians 413 and I recited it out. I said it hundreds of times. What's your name? Give me strength.

13:24I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And I just couldn't I recited it in numerous different ways. Just God give me strength. Christ give me strength. I didn't even believe in Jesus at the time, but I knew that I had to take that step onto the water to see if I could walk. And so you're running and he's filming. That's right. And he posted or you posted who posted. He says to me, I was like, hey, Pops, can you send that to me? I want to post it on the internet. I expected nothing of it. Eight million views. Eight hundred thousand likes. So many Americans saying, I wish my son was like this or I said, I love you to my father in the end of the video. And a lot of people break down in tears and send me voice messages. And I got some people's phone number and they face to me crying to me saying, I wish I had that connection with my father. My father passed or my father's disconnected within my life. I didn't have that figure growing up. So I think there was a lot of different moving parts to that. But one of the real the real base interest in all of it was just the love that I share with my father and the relationship we have. Tell everybody as you're running about to die with the flag in your dad's film.

14:27Yeah. What was that right? What's he worried about you? Oh, terribly. I mean, he's always worried about me though and costs. Well, we'll go off and do something random. He'll show us a call and just make sure we're good. Yeah. They just checking in son you alive. Yes, sir. All right. Take care. Yes. But he showed up and he recorded me and it was very spontaneous. I didn't know that it was happening. And he goes, hey son, how far have you ran? And I go, I don't. 17 miles. He goes, what the hell are you running for? I said, I'm running for the American people. I guess I don't know. I'm just running for the American people. It's like, I'm just so tired, baby. Woo. And I was like on this separate high. I had this second blow of wind and I was like, they'll put me in the prime. And I saw my dad and it gave that really is what sent me home. Those last five miles were some of the hardest miles that I've ever experienced. But my dad showing up and giving me that boost of encouragement, it made it everything. After that, you said, I'm going to do it tomorrow too. That's right. And after that, you said, I'm going to keep doing it. That's right.

15:29And now a few messages from our generous sponsors. But first, thanks for tuning into an army of normal folks where our mission is to make service easier for all of us and together can change the country. And today, I want to share with you an email received from an army member named Hunter Cowan. Hunter wrote, Good Morning Bill. I've listened to all of your episodes since the very beginning. They are light and all of the bad news that comes our way every day. By listening to your shows, y'all have inspired me to try to take part to make a difference in my community. I have started a sleep and heavenly peace chapter. Y'all have inspired me. And I know y'all have inspired many others at some point that inspiration becomes exponential. In when we're emailing with Hunter, he told us his sleep and heavenly peace chapter already

16:33has 60 beds built for kids without them in the Richmond area of Virginia. I am inspired myself that episodes that we share can inspire someone like Hunter to engage and do good work. I'm inspired that there are 60 kids today that are sleeping in beds rather than pals on clothes because Hunter listened to an episode of an army of normal folks and decided to act. We always say together we can change this country. And Hunter is metaphorically what one member of a massive army and normal folks can do to make better lives for other people. We'll be right back. Hey, our rides almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago.

Before we get to day 7 where you kind of said something that set a lot of this emotion and I don't want to go to that. I wanted to go to day 2 and 3-4-5. Yes, sir. I'm really curious. Why?

21:45Why do it again? What? I mean, what was... Why did you think... All right, well, I almost killed myself yesterday. That's cool. Let's do it again. Was it the response on the social media? What was it that inspired you to say, I'm going to do this next few days? It was the honks that I got in person. It was the honks, brother. You should see the smile on these people's faces. When I have an American flag in my hand, a young man looking to... I didn't even know what I was doing at the time. I was very naive. It was very spontaneous. But the people seeing our flag and our colors and lighting up with joy and honking, let's go, baby. It is like I get chills thinking about it. It's like no experience that you'll ever... I cannot compare it to anything else. And the first day it ever happened. Now, of course, I've ran every single day consecutively for Lord knows how long. That first day, it's like there really is people in America that care.

22:46And to back back on your first question that you asked at the start of the interview, that's all I needed to see was hope. And that's all these other people need to see. It's just one kid carrying a flag that's all it takes to reignite the American spirit in an entire country with 350 million people. So you said, I got honked at, I'm gonna run again. I'm gonna keep running, baby. And there's almost a challenge. There's always like... I mean, I'm a ginger like you. Yeah, sir. Unless you're not. Not many people kind of honk at us. So I'm... Sure. I bet that's true. Three go a little. A little bit. I would be lying if I said not. You're a great looking kid. Thank you, sir. But the point is, you got response. Yes, sir. And it really wasn't the social media stuff. It was just the interaction of people encouraging you. And that was the gap. Everything was social media before. I told you I was scrolling my phone. And that was the connection. Exactly right. And that's what we fight for for Unify USA. It's human connection and foundation. There are patriots everywhere in America.

23:46They're just disconnected. They're isolated. And we just try and be the middleman. We try to connect people. I'm going to go back to that. Yes sir. So around day seven of running with flag, you said something that you haven't changed since. What was that? Day seven specifically. Do you have it written down? I'd love to be inside it if you can. It's... That's when you said the mission was, according to Alex, I'm running with American flag to be the uniform of the American people. I just wanted to hear you say it, brother. Sounds pretty nice. It sounds pretty good. Not stupid. Oh, good to be. I just got prepped out. You got a nice deep narrative voice. I want to hear you say, I'm going to clip that and use it on social media. So I mean, that was it? Yes sir. You realize how almost corny that sounds. Very and very cliché too. Yeah, I mean, it does sound a little, you know,

24:50hokey. I completely agree. Especially for cool strapping, 21 and 24 year old dudes. I mean, I guess we've grown a lot ever since that happened, right? A year ago, but I'm still the same corny old kid I used to be, right? And I think that's what a lot of people love to see. It's just someone that's not afraid to be themselves. What does it cost you to run? Would you like me to break that down in three terms, like a physical, a spiritual, and a mental sense? Yeah. Physically, everything. I fasted during all of my runs and a lot of people don't know this, especially now I still fast during most of my runs for the connection that I have with the Lord, but also to physically push myself. Because when you're depleted of nutrients, you have to look for something else. So I run fasted and I run p-keyed to around two or three o'clock in the afternoon of Florida. He, it's pretty gnarly, but it's a great way to push yourself. Mentally, it does everything. It proofs to yourself that you can endure nearly everything. It just breaks this mental barrier in the ceiling that I had on myself previously, where I was like, man, I feel like I'm restricted,

25:52or I feel like I can't do this. I'm incompetent as a man. And then you have that breakthrough, and you're like, I can do anything. It's so inspiring. And then spiritually, the connection I had with Christ just completely opened up that third gate to where now I feel as a man, I can complete anything that I desire on this earth. Do you pre-plan where you run, or do you just take off? I just wing it. Just to make it go. Yes, sir. Do you have to get GPS to get back home or do you figure it out? I try and figure it out. Sometimes I bank back on the, the, what's he called, palm pilot? Yeah. Sometimes if need be, I do, but usually I know my way around the area. I'll do that again. No, I won't. Would you have to this meeting? You got my word? Never do that again. You've got my word now. Yes, sir. All right, that's good. Okay, so two months of running around by yourself in Tampa with a flag. And they're built a lot of hot. Yes, sir. And Hoots and Hollards and why and waves and smiles and all that. Yes, sir. Right. You say, okay, if y'all really want to run with me with a flag, you posted, here's, I'm going to be starting here. Y'all come on. Yes, sir.

26:52And man, what a success. Well, two people. The first two people showed up. That's called in Charlotte. Very sweet. And it was a lady named Miss Sandy, too. She did a little bit of running, but she had to go early. I was expecting so much out of it. I wore my get up like my American flag. Shorts like like a Polo Creed wear. You got ready to go. Ready to go. Two people showed up and so on actually showed up. So I ran with Miss Sandy for probably a half a mile. And then I see a kid run into it. You did it. She went with the flag, right? No, sir. She did it. She just showed up. She showed up to support. I'm saying to you. Miss Sandy. So we were just chatted out back and forth. And I see a he's Moroccan. I see a Moroccan man running with an American flag draped around his shoulders. Like fighters do when they're walking out to the cage. And I'm like, holy crap. Sandy, look. Now I said, let's ask him if he can run with us. He goes, Tegin my brother. Can I run with you? And I was like, no way. He's Moroccan. He's Moroccan. He's one of the most patriotic dudes I've ever met though. So inspiring. And I'm like, oh my gosh.

27:53And then we keep running. And then I'm met with a lady. I actually got a call from Instagram. And it was Charlotte. She goes, hey, I'm at the pirate ship. Can I come join you? She didn't have an American flag either. But we ran all around Tampa. We ought to ran like eight miles together. And I'm like, holy crap. So people started. Just like that. Yeah. So quite literally the story of the Black God. That's like Rocky. Rocky too. That's exactly right. So it's like, those were my two favorite movies growing up. The Rocky series and then for Scott. I'm not joking. So to have that happen in real time, see now at this point, I didn't know that it was fixing to blow up. Like I wasn't like, oh, we're going to throw a lot of what's left. Rocking guys name. I'm sorry. Name's Sultan S U L T A N. Sultan. Sultan. You can't even make this up. You can't. Stolting the Moroccan American flag picture. Rock out. Yeah. I got in Tampa, Florida. I think he's on a O 1 B's, a O 1 B visa to go to UT too. That. Yes. Okay. He's pretty gangster. The same being Sultan still hanging out. He's still in the home. I said, I don't have Miss Sandy's contact. If you're seeing this, please reach out.

28:53But I do have Toltans and I do have charlots. That is. I talk to them very often. Insane. All right. So that kind of sets up the first couple of months. Yes, sir. We're only year into this thing with that. Crazy kids doing crazy things. That's right. And then cost. You decided you wanted to join your brother and kind of help turn this momentum of whatever this was. Yeah. And to I guess a movement. Yeah. What did you see looking from the outside looking in at your nutty brother run around that maybe your brother and the throws of actually running maybe didn't see from a halter to you. I think Tiggs always been this crazy guy since he was a kid, right? We always knew he was we always knew he was destined for something weird. And I thought it was cool when he said, I know that sounds funny, but it's true. Yes, my parents. It's the same thing.

29:54We go, I don't know. Is he going to be an actor or something like I just don't see T working in the cubicle in on him saying. And he started doing this and I was like, oh my gosh, this is it. This makes complete sense for him. But then I started thinking as what were you doing at the time? I owned a peptide company in a Rana gym. So I wasn't completely happy with that. It was just what I was doing in my entrepreneur journey. It was making me good money. You forgot to say you were a college dropout. I am a college dropout too. But that sense of purpose wasn't in me. Like I wasn't helping people. So I saw a T running with the flag from the outside and these people joining him and the honks and the conversations he was having with people and how it was changing their hearts and they're being better servants of their community or better members of their family. And I was like, there's something happening here. But what I didn't want to happen was just for T to be an influencer. And we had some conversations and I talked to T and I was like, how are we going to help more people? What can we do in order to make this be something huge? And not just you're an influencer on social media because I feel like that's a problem

30:57that we've gotten these days as we just look up to these influential figures on social media. So I said, why don't we start something which I didn't even know what it was. And I remember laying in bed at night and thinking of his saying, you know, this is day blank of running with the American flag to unify the American people. And I was like, what kind of sounds good. And I was like, then I came up with the Unify USA. So I come to him the next day and I'm like, we should start a movement behind this. I don't know what that looks like, but I think we could make these events that you've been doing even bigger. I think we could get people wearing that stuff around the country because oddly enough, when people see us wearing these shirts in public, her Walmart, they go, what is that? And that's when I knew I was like, dang, we did something good because just our company name is getting people to ask questions. And we say all the time that conversations and dialogue in this country is what will fix the country. And then being able to agree to disagree. And if we can open up people to having dialogue with just our company name, I was like, we did something crazy here.

31:58So then I started posting, he started posting, we started unify USA and these events started happening and they started blowing up. And it's just weird because we can't put a finger on why it happened. We just worked hard and yeah, it's just wild. You guys are separated in age by two years. Is there? Is there? Coming up. Do you ever put Michael Bumps on each other's foreheads? I don't know. Many times. I say the least. My four kids are also separated by a year. I'm not getting a boxed a little. And so when they got to be like 9 to 11 or 12, I just got sick of it. I'd come home. Lisa was losing her mind. And so I did get head gear so that nobody got concussed too bad. And I'm both boxing gloves. And I thought, well, I'm going to have a dual effort. Yes, sir. One is I'm going to teach my kids how to defend themselves. But never to be on the fence of always being able to defend themselves without a cell phone or a palm poly. And two, little subtle differences in the backyard.

33:01Yes, sir. It worked great until Molly beat up both my sons. They get running and it gets with bloody nose and black eyes. At least it's like it's enough that you're not teaching the boys anything because their sister keeps whipping their ass. But they fall all the time. That's right. They love each other. They are the best of friends. They have each other's back today. Dawson. But I can't imagine them being a business with one another. They might go back to the boxing gloves. How's that been for you? It's been challenging at times. That's for sure. It's been very. Actually, our father is our, we call him our senior advisor. It should be. It is. I'm not kidding me. And referee about it. Yeah. I'm saying every week outside on the chairs and me and Tegan probably bit them on at each other for an hour straight. My dad sits there and mediates it. And I tell them everything that Tegan's done this past week that pisses me off. And he'll tell everything to my dad that's pissed him off about what I do this week.

34:01And my dad sits there and lays the lawns said, I've raised you since your kids. This is what's going to happen. And we do exactly as he says. And then me and Tegan hug it out. We roll into the next week. And then we smoke us a good ol' cigar. That's the sunset out. I don't know your family, but I love your family. That's all. That's how we do that. Yeah. Pass it out. Yeah. Pass it out. So, for clarity, nothing comes without its pumps. Of course. Exactly right. Yeah. It's in a hallmark movie. Right? Yeah. But, for the good of what you're trying to do and the love of each other, you get past it. Yep. All right. So, what's going on? Who are you calling? Oh, hey, Joe. Joe. All right. So, hang on, hang on, hang on, Joe. We're actually in the middle of recording. That's why we're doing this. With guys with two guys named Tegan Cosmacoi, who are all about unifying the country regardless

35:08of what side of the aisle you're on and what your political beliefs just by running with the American flag has turned into a movement. Now, Tegan Cosmacoi, Joe is a leprechaun. I'm not kidding. He is. You call me ginger, but he's the next guy. No, Joe is straight up a leprechaun. He has about five foot four. He has red hair and he wears green scrounds and he makes people happy here. Just sort of. A little bit picture. Yeah. If we can get a picture of Joe. Well, it's nice to meet you, brother. Here you are. Oh, there we go. Oh, he's just straight up leprechaun. There we go. All right. Now, first, I think you need to combine forces somewhere one time, wherever he is because his whole deal is he does this just because he wants to make people smile. And he calls about a thousand people a year on their birthday. Oh, wow. That's what he does. Is it like a FaceTime or a Zoom meeting or something?

36:09Well, you're about to find out because today's my birthday. It's your birthday? Yes. I didn't even know you knew it. What? That's my birthday. Happy birthday. Holy moly. Here's Joe. Joe, for the guest listening and for Teegan Cosmacoi here, do your damn thing, bro. You ready? I'm ready. I'm ready. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Joe. Have a good leprechaun day. You little lucky charm. Goodbye. Let's go. That was pretty bad. You know, it was birthday. I was trying to keep that whole thing quiet. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thanks. It's a very recent thing. Can you imagine a happy leprechaun jogging around with a flag with that light?

37:09Let me be pretty sweet. You guys got to help. Where's Joe live? Madison, Wisconsin. Wisconsin. We'll be in with you. Have you been to Wisconsin? No, sir. No, but there it is. There it is. I mean, I don't know how far as little less can drag, but even for a mile with a leprechaun jogging around. I just have to be. Why not? I was so confused with that. I was headed originally. That went nowhere where I thought it was getting up. Like that all. Welcome to the show, baby. Yeah. Welcome to an army of normal folks. Remember, an army of normal folks. It's right. Doofus is alright. So you cost. It's going to be a movement now. Yes, sir. And you alluded to this earlier, but now we're going to talk about it. So now you've decided to start going to cities to do this and motivate people to run you, weren't with you. Six hundred people showed up to run with American flags through Central Park the day after

38:09America turned 250 years old. Tell me about that. And tell me about how the Marines showed up and how they, I mean, that's weird too. I mean, it's not a leprechaun singing happy birthday. It's pretty impressive. Very cool. Tell us that story. So I mean, funny enough, because this is proof positive that your brother laying around in the bed of a pickup truck like Bill Clinton, it picks up a flag one day and takes a run that has actually now become a real-out movement. Yes, sir. And it's crazy because New York City was an actually a planned event. We actually were going to go up to see the US Arlington and we had a couple of plans to do some separate things in New York City. Those plans ended up not going through the way we thought they were going to. And we already had flights bought, hotels booked, everything like that. So on 10 days notice, we decided to say we're going to do a Central Park New York City run. I was like, Tee start throwing it up on social media. I'll start posting about it, Unify starts posting about it.

39:10We had a couple videos go viral about the event. And we saw RSVP start ringing through. Now we had no plan for this. So we literally made flags in New York City with Patriot producer John, which is a guy that runs with a flag in New York City. That's his whole gig on social media. He's the only other one that runs every single day like I do. So he invited us to his home. We built how many flags, 300 flags in his garage the night before. And then we put a table in the middle of Central Park. And we actually did end up going to the US Arlington and talking to Marines and everything like that on the US Arlington. And we talked about doing this run. And they're like, I think we can get guys out there to take part in this. And we didn't know to what level that would be. And they show up full on with flag bearers, information ready to go. And we were like, oh my gosh, this is crazy. We had people showing up two hours early to the event when we were setting up the table. And all of a sudden Tee and I are standing on top of this rock and we looked down and there's 600 people.

40:12We didn't even know that this was going to happen. Like it was just crazy. I can't, it's so, I still can't wrap my head around how many people showed up. And I remember we were actually jogging and the Marines look at me and they go, let us know when we can start, you know, our march. And I was like, okay, go ahead and start. Well, we usually do a mile walk in the beginning. They started running. Yeah, they had these are Marines. They go and they walk. They hate us. Next motivated one. Yeah. Come on. No, no, no, no, sir. I was like, Tee, do you need to go run with the Marines because all the people were expecting to walk. So I remember running backwards in this crowd in Central Park with our videographer Kyle and he was filming with me. I could, I just kept running and there was more flags and more flags and more flags. I couldn't get to the end of it. And I was like, what the heck is going all the way till I made it back to the place and there were still people funneling onto the sidewalk. Now we, it was 600 people that we originally saw in the crowd. And they're kept being people that jumped in and I don't know where all these flags came

41:13from or anything like that. We have Marines running ahead. And it was just so surreal because I was like on 10 days notice and arguably the most controversial city in the internet right now, especially right now. And 100% after America's 250th birthday, we put something on 10 days notice and have the biggest turnout we've had for a unified USA. The biggest flag run in American history. Yeah. Where did y'all want? Or through Central Park. We did a perfect circle, three miles. All for unbelievable. And we had one person even say anything and then the cop escort kind of just told him to piss off. Yeah. But literally, we, you would think that there would be anti-protests. There would be people trying to jump in and like freaking truck us out of the formation or what. Nothing. Cheering, people recording, news headlines, like the, it was supportive. We'll be right back. Hey, our rides almost here.

42:14Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago.

Before the snap, you can study the defense, you can know the play and you can see the opening. But eventually, you have to make a decision and go. For me, that was the fun of football. The moment between getting the ball and finding out whether you made the right read, I loved it. And it's why I understand what Underdog brings his sports fans. Because once you make your pick, you're not just watching anymore. Every snap matters, every yard matters, every decision matters. It thinks they know what's coming next.

46:20How in God's name in our country the stars and stripes could be controversial? That in and of itself makes me crazy, but unfortunately in some corners of can. I want to give you guys an opportunity now to speak to this is not some Christian conservative movement. In fact, it's decidedly anti-litical, anti-anything only pro our country regardless of who you vote for, who you love, who you worship, or which skin color. I think that's a real important part to understand that patriots and people who love our country come in all kinds of different shapes forms and sizes and you guys welcome all comers. If you say, talk about that. I think that's a beauty. It's beautifully put, brother, and I completely agree.

47:23The tough part is everybody that does have this opportunity always makes it about themselves. I am a Christian myself. I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, but that doesn't mean that I shut down other religions. I may have my own political beliefs or whatever it is, but we believe that it's not only great to talk about it, but it's great to have good middle ground because not everybody's going to see things out of high. Now everybody's going to see things on the same level. Our events specifically, we try to keep politics out of it in whole, but when it comes to it, we're all Americans. Sometimes people just have a hard time seeing that because they see all the division in the polarity on the internet. We welcome everybody as long as they show the person to the left and the person to the right, the same exact respect that they're given. We welcome absolutely everybody to unify USA. And we think that's what it means to be a patriot within this country. It's to understand that America is the greatest and it is diverse. But we welcome everybody. We all carry the same flag, the stars and stripes. Now, if you hate the stars and stripes, it's a completely different story,

48:25but we're trying to show people that there are patriots in this country that care. I think one thing our father always told us was to look at where somebody comes from. And Americans come from all different walks of life, right? From poor to rich, from happy to sad, from nice homes to bad homes. And a lot of times people will judge somebody at face value because of the things that they say, but never backtrack the reason they feel that. And that's actually something great that I saw from the documentary. Is these kids from a walk of life where they didn't have an opportunity to do the things that they maybe some other people had. But due to those circumstances, they still found a way to fight through with a good role model. And that's what I kind of try to be to these people in America. And TIG tries to be to these people in America. It's a role model that no matter where you come from, you still have the opportunity to do something great. And that doesn't matter what you look like, what you believe, what circumstances you've been dealt. There's always an opportunity in the American dream in order to go and achieve the things you want to.

49:27And I hope we can be the voice and the leaders so they can feel that too. I know you got honks. I know you got cheers. Awesome. I'm told you've had your share of cheers and all of that. Tell us about what those are like and how you deal with it. I've had people spit on me. I've had people throw cigarette butts at me. I've had people intentionally go on the side of the road and splash water on me on rainy days. I've had people do some of the most heinous ass-n-on-the-discusting things that you could imagine. Every single time I look them in the eyes and I tell them I love them. Does it piss you off? It pisses me off. It frustrates me. And I'm not going to sit here next morally superior in any way. It really drives my gears. And if anybody gets spit on and it doesn't piss you off, you got something wrong with you. You got something wrong with you, right? But it's taken that and I even get chills thinking about it. It's taken that opportunity that God's given. And it's putting yourself out of the equation, putting your emotion completely out and just saying,

50:33Lord, how can I change this person's life? How can I plan a mustard seed? What can I do? Love you, brother. God bless you. Take care. Just keep on running. Do those instances, they're far outweighed by the good ones, yeah. No, actually, I'd say 90% of the reactions we get are positive and fruition. That's what I'm saying. Yes, sir, positive outweighs the negative. Yes, sir. And it's tough because the negative ones always go viral, of course, because they're controversial, dramatic, all this stuff. But they make good fodder for social media. And that's exactly right. And it's something we've tried to stray away from. But when an instance like that happens, it's not the fact that we're using it to promote controversy on the internet. As Kausen said, we're trying to be role models and we're trying to exemplify what Americans should do when given these scenarios. Because a lot of Americans deal with these scenarios. But I think a lot of Americans deal with them in what I perceive to be the incorrect way. Because it just leads to more division and polarity.

51:33I think you've got to ask care about this country so much. We come from four previous generations of military. We were raised patriots and we were raised to understand the sacrifice. Or you're great, great, you're great, your grandfather and your father also. Yes, sir. And we were raised and taught a discipline leadership and all of these things stem from the military. Our dad made us do pushups before bed. He made us do boxing classes in the garage and we weren't allowed to ask questions. Oh, weren't allowed to ask questions. Yes, sir. The way we ate was very structured. Our dad used to pull into McDonald's as a joke. A clever McFlurry was. And I won the Oreo. Hey, can I get a? Oh, yes, sir. I'm not coming. I swear to you, you're a natural, natural football game in the meat. I swear to you. So we grew up with this discipline and this leader today. And I thought I was hard to say. I had nothing compared to your dad.

52:36And it all stemmed from the military. Even leadership principles, all the different things were taught. They're from the military. So we just, we kind of got boot camped since we were kids. Right. And then we started. My dad was a history major in college as well. So he always educated us and open dialogue for historical context and things happens country. So we learned about America's history from his lens. And we always looked up to our father. So we just believed in him, you know, and that's kind of like where people come from. That's what we came from. And so that's just the pride we carry every single day, because that's what we were taught. That's right. And now that we're older, we formed our own opinions, but are, you know, those opinions after doing research and trying to go, you know, sometimes you look for the opposite thing, just to think, you know, what if that is true? I always fall back to what we were raised on, because I just feel like that's what's true. And not only did he tell us about it, he was a phenomenal leader. Did the exemplification of his actions? He's actually our stepfather, our biological father's no longer in our life.

53:39And he took care of us since we were children. We actually changed that right. We changed our last names. Yeah. Our maiden name is York. Yeah. And just about a year ago, I want to say, we changed our last names to McCoy, because we wanted to build a easy, because since we changed our last name to McCoy, our life's changed. I don't know if that's a chance. I don't know what it is. I changed my name to McCoy two or three weeks later. I started running with the flag. That had to have been an amazing day for your dad. I had to just lift him up. Oh my gosh. I remember saying that. I mean, I came out to imagine a greater way to honor a man than to say, I want to take your name, because you are who my dad is. That's phenomenal, guys. Yeah. I think I can speak for both of us. Our dad is like, I couldn't imagine a more positive role model. He's a hard at dude is a hard at through and through. And it was rough growing up with them. There's times we're taking with slam the door.

54:40And I would slam the door and we'd scream at him through the door, but we wouldn't be screaming. We'd go like this. Because we knew he'd come in. I think like you're screaming. You come in the bulls**t death. Yeah. Yeah. Going to the pillow, you're like, the other interesting thing is you told me, and this is kind of off script, but you change your name. You go running and you said, when you were running, you weren't even a Christian. And clearly you're faithful, because of the way you've taught. Yes, sir. How did that happen? It was truly just I told you, this supernatural encounter I had with God. And it wasn't through this one scenario. It wasn't through like a five to ten seconds spur. It was the entire 22 mile run. Because I was beat from mile three to mile 22. And the only thing that I could look towards was Jesus Christ. Because in that run, I was fasted for, I was actually probably fasted for 30 hours at that point. I was running at two o'clock in the afternoon. And peak floor to heat. It ought to have been 95 degrees in human. Swamp at.

55:40And I was still running. And the only source of power that I could find myself reaching towards was God. And I even saying that now it just, it didn't make sense at the time, but at every single time that I looked at a religion, the first word was faith, belief. I mean, within the definition of religion, it's talking about the belief of the faith you need to have. So I was like, who am I to sit here and damn God off, or condemn or rebuke God when I haven't even put my faith in him yet? So I tried and I was blessed abundantly, immediately. And usually it takes some sort of delayed gratification for people to walk in their faith. I was blessed on that day. And then from that day forward, I decided that I was going to be a servant of Jesus. You are a weird kid. But such an inspirational one. Thank you, sir. All right. So you've been in New York. Yes, sir. What other states have you done these runs in? We've done so it started off in Tampa on Bayshore Boulevard. Yes, sir. But that was one of our biggest ones.

56:41We started off, we did that one. I want to say seven or eight times. And we got bigger gradually every single time. And then following that, we're like, sure, dude, we need to go somewhere. So I ended up going to LA. I went to the Pacific Palisades on January 3rd. It was the annual remembrance of the wildfires that happened. And I don't know if you know the notion behind all that, but it was all the people, people took the streets and they had signs that said, they let us burn. It's when everybody was saying Gavin Newsom showed off the water. And that whole fire happened and whatnot. And I'm not trying to speak politically. This is just what was happening at the time. What people were saying. That's exactly right. So we go there and we're like, hey, there's a big outrage in the Pacific Palisades. And it's the annual remembrance. Let's go out. I'm sure there's new stations everywhere. It's just host of run. There's like 60 people that showed up. And it was awesome. And the same story we're placing our head. And it's just come down to this point where LA, but it's like, oh, it's the most demonic place. It's satanic. You'll get spit on. People will try and attack you and hurt you. We had like two bagged scenarios.

57:43And we traveled all throughout the Pacific Palisades into LA. We had two little discussions or bickermints. And then they just got smoothed out and we kept going. That's it. 70 people carrying American flags. And then. And then Hawaii. So I'd say Hawaii was probably the worst backlash I ever got. Believe it or not. Do you get any positives? A little bit. There's a lot of there's a big military base on a Wahoo. There's a lot of soldiers that were, I think it's an army base. So a lot of soldiers were saluting us and whatnot. That's one of my favorite parts too is when you see you have veterans or people that are in active military. They'll salute you or they'll shake your hand. It's really good time. So then. So then we come back to Florida and we do some pop up runs on the beach. We call them like a sunset runs. We do Saint Pete Beach. We went up to Panama City Beach. We did a couple just around the coast of Florida. Did Miami. Did Miami Beach? That one was pretty awesome. We had like a hundred fifty-two hundred patriots there. And then we decided to go up to Nashville, Tennessee. And I thought it was a great decision.

58:44We had a barstool in Nashville. We had that venue. There's that 10 in the morning. Right. So cool. We had a hundred fifty people show up. And that one, we promoted it for only a week too, which is so crazy. We procrastinated the early events. But somehow they had great turnouts, right? And then after that, we got back to Florida. And we're like, where next? Him and I kind of hit the drawing board. And we went up to the nation's capital. That's great. Or did New York. Oh, we did New York. I'm sorry. Yeah, we went up to New York. Came back. There's so much hype behind it. We were like, well, no better place to go than the nation's capital. Then we just did wash. So seven states so far. Is that right? Yes, sir. And the district Columbia. Yes, sir. 43 more to go. That's right. What has all of this leaving Florida and moving around doing this kind of taught you about the country? What have you learned? Let me say it this way. What has surprised you? And what has been confirmation for you?

59:45You can. I think one of my favorite quotes ever is if you want to hate America, watch the news. And if you want to love America, drive across it. As that is a great South-Hard that before. First time it's been set on the show. Say it again, because that really needs to dig in to our listeners and viewers. If you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it. And that's exactly what we've done. And our love for the country has grown even fonder. The diversity inside of this country, the state pride inside of this country, right? So you can have country pride, but the state pride is so like we've been to Missouri, the show me state, you know, New York City has its own pride for the way that they go about things culturally. Like there's all these different, you go to Arkansas, all they got is Blue Peak, so we'd rather like that. But they wear that shit that they die. And then it starts to love America for all of these different things and realize it's just a melting pot of beautiful people. And you're just like this place is bad. And it's opened our perspective. I mean, we call it hell.

1:00:46Yeah, America, you know, we walk everywhere and we're like, yeah, yeah. Are you ever surprised? I mean, one of the first guys to show up is in Moroccan. I mean, are you ever surprised? Do you ever like go wow, a wind of thought, that person to be this patriotic? And has that changed your mind about what a patriotic American looks like from when you started? Yes, sir. So we had this guy named Tree in New York City that came up. Tree? Yeah, treat, treat, treat. Oh, maybe I can't, like a candy treat. And it comes up to me. He daps me up and gives me the fattest hug of my life. One of the biggest brightest hugs ever. And I was like, look, go and he goes, can you play courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue right now? On the speaker, I was like, why not, brother? And he goes, give me a flag. And we're waving the flag on the rock. Hands around each other, singing courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue. His mom has taken a video right there. And she's like, he loves y'all so much.

1:01:47He thinks you're the best blah, blah. And he daps me up after and he hugs me. And he's like, brother, I really love what, you know, this has changed my life. There's so many people here that I really have made great relationships with that I'm going to get to hang out in New York City with because I didn't really have many connections here before because of things that I believed. And then this guy shows up to Washington, DC, drives all the way from New York City to come to our Washington, DC. That's like a seven hour drive and he just out and over. I look over him like, oh my gosh, bro, fatdest, however. And he was like, my mom couldn't come to this one. She wanted to really bad, but she had work and she's my loving lady ever. And I was like, holy, it changes my, it gives me goosebumps. Like it's what every day in the morning, I wake up and think about before I work. I hear that story and I think about what you just said. If you want to hate America, listen to this. If you want to love America, probably cross it. Another way of saying that is, if you want to hate America, hang out on social media. If you want to love America, interact with it. That's right.

1:02:47And it does change all kinds of perceptions. Oh, it's life changing. Like I can't even describe it to people. Just go out and talk to people. Start a conversation. Ask somebody how their days has been. COVID ruined this. We how it's all just going to say COVID. What like you have to like be distant from people now. Yeah. The same reason every people think taking higher mad corny and we are. But we'll ask people how they are. We'll say hello. We'll say yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. We'll, you know, ask them weird things. I'll run the outspirit to 100 yards to hold that door for that old lady walking into the cafe every single time. I said, ma'am, wait. What? You like don't open the door? I'm coming. Every single time. I don't care. You want to know why? Oh, sweetheart, I've never had that happen to me like with a young man like you. You made my day. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. God bless. Who calls themselves per pure joy, McCoy? Why do you call yourself pure joy, McCoy? So the bank back off what you were saying earlier,

1:03:49you were a boxer and you taught your kids boxing. We were in Arkansas. Let me just say this. I was not good. Okay. I got beat up. Far more times than what I mean, but I boxed. It's sir. Yeah, don't call me a boxer. I'm just a guy. Boxing loves to go. I'm not getting in the ring makes you a boxer whether you win or lose for real. So we're in Arkansas and I almost had the same thing. I was looking for a revelation. I was 18, 18, 19 years old. I was like, okay, I need some purpose. I was serving or bartending at Chili's or something. Because like there's something else that's calling me to be more of a man. So Rudy McLaughlin comes and says at table 10 and Cersei Chili's Arkansas and he owns a gym. He's a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and he goes, y'all just come swing by and train one of these days and I'm like, yeah, sure, maybe one day I was scared out of my wits if you want me to be honest. I was terrified. So I was like, yeah, I'll come check it out. I lied to him. I want to say two months later. Have you ever heard of Bryce Mitchell?

1:04:49No. He's a super controversial figure on the internet. He's a grassroots corn fed country boy to the core. And I love Bryce Mitchell. He has been such a good man to me. He says some crazy stuff on the internet now. It's a surprise you I heard of him. But we were in a gym called Rhino and Cersei and we started. I was hitting the bag and I had no technique. He comes up next to me. He's in the UFC. He was ranked at the time. He goes, hey, brother, can I join you? I said, sure, I look down. I said, UFC bag and he's wearing a lot of camo. And I'm like, who is this guy? I look on my phone in between sets. I'm like, this is Doug nasty, Bryce Mitchell. This is crazy. He goes, hey, take my number down, brother. Come over and train some time. So for the next, I want to say three or four months. I would help Bryce Mitchell build his house because he was living in a camper with a pavilion he built on like 30 acres and I helped him build his house from nine in the morning to six o'clock at night. And then from six to nine at night, we'd train. He would work my at three hours straight. He would time me up like a hog.

1:05:50I'm serious. He wouldn't teach me nothing. He's just like, all right, brother, back on the wall. I'm like, man, I can't do this no more. He had a cedar stove. He had a stove that he'd burned cedar wood in. That cedar woods the hottest wood I ever felt. I knew it. And it was so fun. It was such a great experience. But I was like, brother, I need to learn how to fight. I need fun of menals. I'm just getting beat up. He goes, all right, go train at Rudy McLaughlin. I go, I know that name. Rudy McLaughlin. And I was like, okay, this gym's called Rujitsu. If y'all end the area, y'all to check it out. Rudy McLaughlin's amazing. So I go to the gym. First day, I kind of get beat up. Second day, I kind of get beat up. And then I ask him, I'm tired of just getting choked out. Like, what do I do here, coach? He said, just practice defense. I go, okay, so I just practice defense for six months straight. And it got to this point where I gradually got more and more into the science and like, the intricacies of the martial art. Yes, sir. And I was like, I said, coach, I want to be a fighter. He said, okay. I said, and you know what, fighters get? Fighters get nicknames. And I said, what's my nickname? And he says, he says, I'll tell you what.

1:06:53Tell me what you think your nickname should be. I looked him dead in the eye, I said, pretty boy McCoy. He said, I said, your face should be called be pretty boy McCoy. Everybody in the gym is. I'm gonna walk him to the to the cage. All pretty and stuff. He good. He said, no. Not a chance. He said, just give me a week or two. I'll come back with a better one. I said, okay, I'll trust you coach, but I'll give you two weeks. If not, pretty boy from here on out. He said, okay, laugh it off. So we're out of private. And in these private weeks to show up at the morning, Austin, I would learn our technique, just one on one with coach. And I'll let Austin describe this part of the story because my ears were plugged for it. Essentially it comes to me and you know, Teeks about, I just got done with my private Teeks about to do his and Teeks warm enough, kind of shadow boxing and we're huddled up, kind of sitting down and he goes, I have his name. And he's like, you want to hear it? And I was like, I hope it's not pretty boy. And he goes and then he kind of says it in a quiet voice. He's like, it's Teeg, pure joy, McCoy.

1:07:53And I was like, as his older brother growing up with him, he was the guy at graduation that was like jumping around on stage. She was just crazy positive his whole life. So when I heard pure joy, McCoy, I was like, that's it. That's it. So then he kind of huddles out and goes back and kind of does like the Bruce Buffer announcement that Teeg of his name, introducing first fighting out of the red corner. Teeg of P.R. Joe. And I'm like, I was sitting there like, boom, boom, boom, boom, you can't just now go. I was fired up and from that day forward, it just stuck as a household name. And that was, I wasn't doing close to media. You would never call you, no sir, no sir, no, I would never, I know you're a bum. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Before. Yeah. That's what I would call back to. Yeah. We'll be right back. Hey, all right, almost here.

1:12:59A lot of people see you guys run around with flags, and they automatically assume what side of the political spectrum you are. They automatically assume, unfortunately, we size people up. And there's actually a science behind it that within six seconds, we typically make our decisions about somebody. What they're wearing, how they're acting. How do you get past that with a stranger who is a patriot, loves the flag, but may not necessarily subscribe to the notions they perceive you to have, being a white Christian dude running around with flags. How do you get past that? That's a great question. Originally, everybody screams out, all the hate that we got, I want to say 80% of it was just people call me a Trumpi. They're like, hey, you're a Trumpi.

1:14:00And I always said, Maga, yes, sir. And I always said, I'm not running for Trump. They go, what? I can't afford you. You're carrying an American flag. I said, this flag doesn't represent the current presidency. And it blew my mind because I was like, that's the problem. It's the connotation and the association people make towards the flag. It's not the flag itself. It's the fact that it's been politicized. So I took a step back and our father always told us to look at it from a bird's eye view. Like, look at your situation from above. And I tried to break down why these people feel that way. And it always circled back to social media every single time. And there are these narratives that are painted on social media and people make it their personality. And we always say polarization, meaning left and right. People need to identify within one of the two to feel wanted and needed or else they feel like an outcast. So they'll say, I'm teagant and I'm right or I'm teagant and I'm left. Instead of I'm teagant and I'm an American.

1:15:01That's the step we're trying to take. So to answer your question, I try and just ask questions. Coss and I used to do sales a lot. We used to go knock on doors and sell window services. And no, we did medical device too. So high ticket. And within sales specifically, everybody always wants to sit here and over explain the reason that their product is the best or the reason that they're right and the reason that they're missing out. Ask a question, dude. Pain point selling. Ask a freaking question. So I'm like, hey, Maga Trumpi, I'll always stop and I'll look around. I'm like, what makes you think that? And I'm like, I'm thrilled. And I say it in like a jazzy and playful way to like try and break down that barrier of like, like, why do you feel that way about me? But I say it in like a playful way. Like, what makes you feel that way about me? Oh, well, you're a white kid carrying American flag. I said, did you ask if I'm running for America, for Trump, for let, like, what did you ask what I'm running for? No. I said, well, do you want to ask? And they're like, well, and I go, well, let me just ask you. So I give them the invitation to ask me a question. I'm like, matter of fact, let me just ask you a question.

1:16:02If you saw a black man running with American flag, would you think that he's maga? And then I sit there and I'm listen. That's it. Ask the right questions. You'll receive the answers and you'll dive into how they actually feel, which is change because then you can understand and unveil the pain that they're feeling. I cost and said, walk them out on someone's shoes. There's so many actions and so many different memories and scenarios that lead up to someone's upbringing. They could have had a bad parents. They could have had no parents. They could have grew up in an extreme, they could have grown up in, it's in sub sedation. They could have grown up with no food. They could have grown up dumpster diving. You have no clue their backstory. So I want to uncover that, brother, what's making you feel this way? And what is it that you saw online that associates me with Trump or with maga or with this or that? And then you start to realize that people genuinely just want to be heard. They just want to be heard. And some people talk and wait for their time. They'll listen to you and they'll wait for their time to talk.

1:17:03That's not what we do. We talk and we set the mic over. I'll say, hey, Coach Bill, how do you feel about this country? Can I my one back up there? Do you get a sense that when you have these conversations, most people are open-minded enough to reconsider their initial position? Yes, sir. And I wouldn't even say reconsider their initial position, just by and common ground. A lot of people aren't willing to initially change their beliefs, but a lot of people are receptive to hearing what you may have to offer, like what perspective or what knowledge or intellect that you've received are acquired that could be of interest to them. And I don't think it's someone changing what they currently believe, and I just think it's being able to coexist that's so important. Yes, I think that that's hopeful. For instance, I have lots of friends, not acquaintances.

1:18:09I have lots of friends that differ with me politically. Some of the most enriching, rewarding conversations I've ever had have been with them, because if you trust one another enough, and you respect one another enough, to hear out one another's positions, you still might not change the way you think, but you at least appreciate the perspective that someone else is coming from, and then you have common ground. Yes, sir. And then your friendships are divided by who you pull a lever for and a booth once every four years. Yes, sir. And so that's all you're trying to do is to great perspective. Exactly right. And you're saying I'm probably waiting for the whole country. That's right. I want to unify all of us. I respect the diversity. It's kind of beautiful. You also said that there was division in this country that also happened kind of inside your own family.

1:19:12What did that look like? It actually is starting to pan through and it's starting to iron out. I think the Lord has been amazing. We had some family come over recently, and it was probably the most beautiful experience that at least I actually had your own family. Yeah, when we say family, we're talking about aunts, uncles, cousins, all that stuff. And previously it was a really big issue, and it really weighed heavy on my heart, because there was this giant wedge between us and them. Now we live in Florida and they live in Tennessee, but the problem wasn't the distance physically. It was the distance with love. There's a big gap because they believed in this and we believed in that. Now instead of us just being like, hey, they're coming on vacation. We're family. We can put this to the side for now and enjoy our time with one another. Right? It came to the point where it's like, man, I don't even want them to come over anymore. And it breaks my heart to even say that. And I'm just being real. I'm being raw. And it's so sad,

1:20:12because I know so many Americans are dealing with that exact scenario. My family members this or my family member believes in this. I can't believe them. They're sick in the head. They're your family, brother. That's your family. Whether you like it or not, that's your blood. Now I'm not saying that some people are just heinous and go extremely off the wall and all this stuff, but... Both sides. Yes, sir. So, Kostan and I came to each other and we're just like, this is how Unified USA was birthed. It's like, what's the direction we want to take? Well, we want people to, especially families, start loving each other again, because we believe in family. So, with all this being said, we continued to run with the flag and we were still trying to figure it out. And then our family just came over recently. Our aunts, uncles, cousins. It was the most beautiful experience of all time. They actually asked us questions about our movement. And they asked us, hey, how do you feel about this? They bought us books. On set, hey, I have a perspective on this. I'd love for you to read Start With Why by Simon Seneca. Kostan read the, excuse me, I forget the book. It's a historical context of Jesus without the miracles.

1:21:13Yeah, so they provide their perspective as we were just saying through books and through their adherent learnings and all this stuff. And then we were receptive back, which it's just created this fruitful loop of family. You're not supposed to believe the same thing, but you're supposed to love one another. So, this most recent trip has been so beautiful. And that originally was why I started the movement. There's a lot of division in my family. But then this most recent trip that they had definitely is, it was like a form of enlightenment, if you will, is so beautiful. Kostan in an odd metaphorical microcosm, that story is what you hoped to happen across the country with the whole movement, right? Yeah. Is that a legitimate possibility? I do think so. Now, I don't think that every single last person could be unified. I think we have to have a realistic point of view when it comes to things. Now, do I think where we could get back into the country that atmosphere feels like it maybe once did?

1:22:19Where overall you feel like you can have open dialogue and conversation and agree to disagree. Yes, I do think we can get back to that. But I think, like you say, an army of normal folks is what we need, and that's why we're building Unify. Because we always say that culturally America needs to get fixed before politics could ever be fixed. How do you expect to fix something political, especially in the current state that we're at now, and I hate to get into this, but there are levers being pulled at levels we could never imagine, in my opinion, something that we can't even touch unless we are unified together. We have no chance at fighting anything if we're divided. And we need to bring people together, an army of normal working class citizens, and stand up for our country, because I do think it's getting to a point where we're going to have to fight for it eventually. One of the things that you brought up, social media, and I wanted to ask your thoughts on this at the beginning, but now it's a good time. I wonder how many people in the country understand that such a large percentage of the divisive stuff that's on Twitter,

1:23:30and Instagram, and Facebook, and LinkedIn, and TikTok, and all of it, is actually planted here from foreign adversaries that are crafting narratives and having handles to look as if they're in America and Americans. And they will, they will, at the same exact groups, will send some alt-right thing to stir up the left, and then they'll send some alt-left thing to stir up the right, and all they're doing is seeding discontent and division, and they're not Americans. But they're breeding us sicknesses. They're using our freedom of speech and our freedom of assembly to breed a sickness within us that artificially exists. You want to talk about that, Sam? I do. I think that's beautifully put, first off. That is very beautifully put, and I think it's actually... Well, I have a radio show, and I'm supposed to be... This is an honor, we're not on the radio, bro.

1:24:30What is this? This is a podcast. Okay, well, I have a show, and I'm supposed to be able to put things beautifully on occasion. We do a good job at it. I'm going to pay you the big bucks, bro. We'll talk about that for real, although the big bucks are pretty bad. The big bucks are pretty bad. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to pull up the McDonald's and leave, not because you can't eat it, because I can't buy it. Go ahead. I think America has the strongest military in the world, and you'll get where I'm going with this. I don't think countries can really stand up with us when it comes to fighting wars. So what's the next best way that you could take over a country, psychologically? And you can start to infiltrate their media. You can start to cause divisiveness. You could start to cause inflation, so people can't live in places that they maybe could have lived before, and they have to stretch their dollar, and the dollar loses its power. And I think there's an active campaign going on in America from other countries that is psychological warfare. And I hate to get into the... I don't even think it's political.

1:25:31It ain't political. See, that's one thing I want to talk about, too, on the show, and Tegan, I have been discussing this a lot lately. Colin Scherz is in political. Wars against, or crimes against humanity isn't political. Things that happen to this country on either side of the aisle aren't political. We need to stand up for some things. And I think the divisiveness in the media and them doing this on purpose is like, this should be stood up, too. And I can tell you as the position we've been put in at this point with the larger social following and people that we've met, I won't name names. But we've looked people in the face that their jobs are this. Is to put out controversial media. It is quite literally their singular existence that is their purpose is to be able to create such a compelling and strong narrative that it creates apparent allies and apparent enemies. It's not meant for unity. And that's why what we're trying to do is we're trying to build an app that's like a positive news network that's pushed towards unity. And obviously there's a lot of other moving parts.

1:26:33But it really just boils down to polarity. That's what division is. If you can make, I heard a great analogy the other day. If there was a jar and it had black ants and red ants. And they lived peacefully and they were civil. And a man came by and shook the jar and placed it on the table. And the red ants got mad at the black ants, the black ants got mad at the red ants. Why the hell did you mess everything up? We were all so civil. If you can get the ants to be mad at each other instead of the man that shook the jar, you've got a society that's not going to be able to do it. You've got a society that's completely scrambled and as coming to the end and not saying much a light at the end of the tunnel. And then you've got the people in power standing on the side laughing at us. And people need to understand that Russia and China are shaking the jar. I was about to say, I think there's a lot of people shaking the jar. I think that's, the jar has been picked up and shooked by everybody. That's the problem. So I have an office in China, I have an office in Vietnam and I do business in 42 countries.

1:27:34So I travel over the world and have 20 years. I say this without prejudice. There are some really cool countries in this world that do things well. There are some great spots. There's all kinds of things. But if you take it as a whole, I genuinely do believe America still has the best system, is the best country, has the best of every, I really do believe that again, we have our issues. But it's the best. One of the freedoms that I think we take, we talk about freedom of speech and freedom of press and all of those freedoms. One of the things we look past is a freedom to assemble. The freedom to assemble is a massive freedom that people in a lot of countries that you would not expect don't have. Certainly in China and right. But here's why the government knows if you get four or five people together talking, that's one thing.

1:28:40You get 50 together, you can start a movement. The right to get together with 600 people and jog through the park with a flag doesn't even exist in many countries because you don't have the right to assemble. That's why that's how you break down faith. That's how you break down religion. That's how you break down discord. That's how you break down. And so the freedom to assemble is a massive freedom that people don't have across this country. The reason I'm saying this is our freedom of the press, our freedom of speech and our freedom to assemble while some of the most incredible freedoms that people have ever been granted in the history of humanity in our country. They are also now the way that the guy is shaking the jar. And I just wonder how many Americans truly understand how very manipulated we are have become through social media and the news and all this other stuff because they have the freedoms.

1:29:48Yes, sir. So how can unify USA worked to counteract that because you're talking about governments here. You're talking about deep state stuff. And look, man, I'm not, I don't believe in Bigfoot or UFOs. Well, maybe UFOs. I do not believe in Bigfoot. What the point is, I'm not about flatter. This is not some, yeah, but I'm not, this is not some deep-seated, dark, weird place I'm coming from. This is actually happening every day right now. Politics is downstream from culture, right? And I think we were, this was built in the past year on very positive flaggerons, everything like that. Now that we have people standing with us, Teigen, I had a conversation this past couple weeks. And we said, bro, we really need to stand up to the things that are happening in our country because we have a platform in order to do so. And it doesn't have to be political. And if people think the things that we say are political, then that's what's wrong. And we are calling out the corruption. We are calling out things that are happening inside of this country. And hopefully people agree with us. And I think we're seeing from the comments of even the recent videos that we've done that people are standing behind us.

1:30:59And I'm listening to other podcasts, other influencers, other movements, and they're getting the same feedback. So I feel like we're just trudging along to this like divide or not divisive unified country. And once we get to that point, everybody has this kind of like subconscious understanding that we all believe the same thing. I do feel like it'll have to be this massive sort of outcry or massive like gathering of sorts to physically show that there's all these people that are fed up because I think America needs to get back to being America First Nation. And I just don't feel like that's what we are right now. I feel like a lot of people feel that way too. So how can an army normal folks get involved with unified USA? If you follow us on social media, you'll probably get to see some very positive things pop up on your phone every once a day, which will probably change your attitude every day. If you like it enough to follow it every single day and we come to your state show up to an event, it'll be life changing. And you'll probably start going running with your goofy brother.

Let's get the daily verse. John 1028, I give them eternal life and they shall never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. That just came out from that thing on your own. From that thing. It didn't look because I don't got no life on here. But yeah, you tap it. This little thing you tap it on and it gives you a day blue Bible verse. It's a day around the Christ. Yes, sir. And I wish we had one Proud American beverage. They do water, sparkling and still in. They do energy too.

1:33:03We're based at California. I got it. Yes, sir. It's pretty crazy, ain't it? That is. We'll be right back. Hey, our rides almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes.

Hi, it's Marcus Allen, Pro Football Hall of Famer, NFL MVP and Super Bowl Champion. I played football for a long time. One thing I've learned is nobody really knows what's going to happen next. Before the snap, you can study the defense, you can know the play, and you can see the opening. But eventually, you have to make a decision and go. For me, that was the fun of football. The moment between getting the ball and finding out where you've made the right read, I loved it. And it's why I understand what Underdog brings the sports fans. Because once you make your pick, you're not just watching anymore. Every snap matters, every yard matters, every decision matters. Everybody thinks they know what's coming next. Well, Underdog gives you somewhere to put that opinion into play. Pick them, money lines, totals, spreads, games and more across your favorite sports. So trust your read, make your call and see what happens.

So I get how it can steal your time. But why let Exama take over when you can talk to your doctor about Epglis?

Also called a topic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin, or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. Epglis can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you are allergic to Epglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. I problems can occur.

For those who are listening to us, what do you think people both of you, you first, and then cost the first day in the cost? What do you think people that are listening to us that inspired by your story, that inspired by all of our stories? What do you think they need to hear about the importance of service? The importance of service to who, our country? Service to your community, your country, your fellow man. Whatever level of service you are engaged in. That's a great question. I do think personal excellence is the ultimate form of service. There's an analogy that says to porn to others, cut.

1:38:11If it's to porn to someone else's cup, you need to make sure yours is full first. If you aren't taking the time to prioritize your mental well-being, your physical fitness, your spiritual journey, whatever that may look like, and have a fulfilling life and be fruitful, how do you expect to multiply? How do you expect to put your, what you've created into other people's lives? I think of it like stoking a fire. I look up every single day and I try to stoke my own fire, not so that I have a big campfire, but so I have more warmth for more people to gather around. Because as a man, I try to provide a ecosystem for people. It's like a lot of people look at it as selfish, but the more of a competent man that I become, the more people that I can help and the more people I can serve. So it's like I see competency through my physical fitness. The farther I can run, the more high fives I can give, the more God blesses I can give. The more mentally sharp I am, the more I can come on a podcast like this and try and use my intellect to be able to give my perspective to other people.

1:39:11The more spiritually connected I am, the more I can help other people by sharing my testimony and helping them stay connected through Christ. So it's like sharpening my own sword, sharpens other peoples. Iron sharpens iron is one man sharpens another, but if you have a dull blade, how do you expect to sharpen someone else's? So I believe ultimately that personal excellence looking inwards and as a man being self accountable and saying, hey, listen, I've got some things I've got I've got to cross my teeth and check my or whatever the saying is, you know, Dr. Yeah, that one you do that as a man and then you can start pouring into other people. That's very cool. So take care of yourself so you can serve others. Yes, sir. What about you, God? I 100% agree with that as a first thing I want to say, but secondly, I think people think you have to join the military to serve your country. And I think people on social media are trying to fix the biggest issues in the country, change the president, change this policy. You know, if you started serving your own community, you'd actually see a change in the things around you.

1:40:14And I believe that service to our country as well. So that's why in our app that we're launching we're going to do one random daily tasks that you can do to serve your community that day. So talk to a stranger, you know, give somebody a high five something as simple as that. Start changing the climate around you before you start trying to change all of the big crazy policies and the president's because you have to fix things internally, even that comes to yourself. Think of internally as community. And then once your community feels good, you could probably make a bigger impact. And imagine if every community in the country started doing things every day to benefit the country. Yeah, imagine a plant an army of normal folks serving where they can have an army of people in normal folks. On them and as we say always politics is downstream of culture. If you can wake up and go put five smiles on someone's face today and Memphis, Tennessee, you'll probably change that. And then you have a lot of things to do with the atmosphere very slowly, but the ecosystem will start to become positive. And then you have more of a unified Memphis.

1:41:16Do you have another state you're going to next yet scheduled? We do not have another state scheduled. I will say when it comes to our events, we've done kind of like pop up runs shorter notice. We're really trying to get to bigger events, concerts, limedancing. We'll start with the run in the morning and then it'll be a bigger event so people can travel all over the country to come do it. We will say there's a lot of people that don't want to necessarily walk or run, but they still want to support the movement. So we're going to try to make this a bigger event where people can come enjoy themselves from all different walks of life. Are you going to hit every state for it so we're going to try to fix it. And we're fixing to try and look to do in chapters two because anybody can just pop up somebody somewhere and then did. And essentially we're trying to leave places better than we found them of course, but how can we leave a chapter behind that's ran by somebody that knows the community that can facilitate those relationships that are like a little bit. Avax or what's the workout thing? Oh, after three. Yeah. That's exactly right. Yeah.

1:42:16Or a lot of people refer to turning point USA. Same type idea. Yes, sir. Or fix me going to college campuses too. And then you woke up here this morning in the P body, right? Is there have you run yet? Hi, yeah, no, sir. I'm waiting wait till I get home. What's your plan to oh, oh, you fly home tonight. Yes, sir. And then you're going to run. If not, I'll come into the news. I was hoping you were going to run through Memphis with your flat. I had before. Yeah, just one time. Yeah, I didn't get I probably got one negative response, but everything else was like, brother. That's very cool. Or like I will get to dude. I'm telling you when I say hoots in college, it's not like, yeah, good job. It's like, what I'll do is I make it a point to try and run across the street. It doesn't matter where they're at. I said I'll run 100 yards to hold the door for an old lady. I'll run 100 yards to death one of my brothers in Christ. I'm like, my brother. And I'll definitely love. And I'll say I love you, bro. I love you too. God bless America. And I'll keep running. Sometimes people join me. Do you do I'm with them?

1:43:16I do. Of course. Occasionally not. Sometimes. Have you ever like just followed him running and filmed some of this stuff? Oh, yes. Yes. So ever since I got involved with Unify, we started doing a lot of flag runs together and doing even the events and everything. He is as crazy as he thinks he is. And I don't. I try to do the same thing, but I'm telling you, stamina is different this guy. Crazy. Barefoot, no shirt, blue jeans. I'll get the gym all day. I'm not a runner. So like I tell people all the time at events, they're like, oh, what runs are you looking for too? None of them, you know what I'm saying? See, bro? I wish we did gym events. Resolving. Yeah. I thought about entering like the Boston marathon and running it with a flag. Absolutely. We're actually going to do an Ironman together with the flag, the flag. Which is way easier for him than it is for me. It's probably going to kill you. Yeah. I went through all this fight training. As I said before, I was in MMA and kickboxing. I actually have three official fights. And that was the most vigorous and intensive training that I've ever done in my entire life.

1:44:22And we have something called healthy two weeks leading up to the fight. It's a week straight of cardio. And I don't say that lightly. When I say cardio, I mean, you're doing cardio for five hours a day, running. You're on the assault bike sprinting, you know, rolling, doing jujitsu, sparring a little bit. It is so intense. The thing is almost just like a walk in the park because of all of that previously, you know, you are a bit of a freak. Yeah. Somewhere. I get wrong. We're all freaks are our own way. That's true. Alex, you got anything else for the boys here? You're good, but is there anything else you guys want to cover? I don't think so. No, I just want to say thank you all so much for having us out. Not only for Finis and having us at the P body, but this truly has been an amazing experience. It's been cool for me. Alex. Cash. Cash. Cash. Cash. So cool, man. And then obviously coach Bill is finna pleasure, guys. Bill, you know what they did last night? What's that? Tell him where you ate last night. We went to Texas, they Brazil. We ate like four pounds of red meat. Did you just get in trouble, green button over and they just bring it.

1:45:25They just say, they're loin for leg. They'll bring whatever you want. I know. It's all. They brought cuts not even over. And you don't have to get the car. Stumble. Across the front. You're up with a fellow. It feels like you're on a ball. That's right. It's right. It's good. Good eats. Great. Yeah. Guys, thanks so much for coming and sharing your story.
