Respect I appreciate every single one of you guys chilling with your boys appreciate you guys uh we have two very special guests uh today and uh as you were saying Hollywood you were saying about the heat over there you know we went from an extreme heat wave over here
In Southern California to an extreme uh as we talk right now we’re in a hurricane so it’s kind of uh yeah it’s kind of uh in Southern California we’re not used to hurricanes we’re not used to going from you know six uh digits over or three digits over there it’s super
Hot you know you’re in 100 degree plus heat and then you go all of a sudden now it’s 78 and pouring rain and the humidity is 97 so it was rough don’t you got those Surfers over there ain’t they gonna go out there in place
You know how to surf i i surf for many many of years I used to do morning Surf and afternoon surf I would do like before school all all the time like 5 30 in the morning absolutely dude I’d fall on my ass the next thing I drowned the
Next thing that happened I’d get eat by a shark that’s what happened to me that would happen to you that’s not something that’d be Holly woodluck right there that would suck that’s right that’s right what’s up there uh so Street Family Adventures how you doing out there everybody else Jason we got the
BET Rim podcast uh in the chat room ain’t that your boy that does the show with you during the week that’s my brother Zach we have our show uh Coast to Coast on Tuesdays on insane Wheels man come check us out oh my goodness gracious man make sure you guys go check
Out Mikey over on insane wheels so how did you get our guests what’s up Chase uh how did you get our uh guests risen dead MC man you know what when you first told me that you know what the first thing I thought of what’d you think of Daryl Dixon
Oh okay yes from The Walking Dead yep Daryl Dixon yep you know he actually has yeah it coincides yeah I could see how you oh you see that you know when uh they first told me their names I was like man that’s a Hollywood is I’m ready
To go uh we you know what the one guy’s name is Ash with a-s-h okay I was gonna say Ash cheeks because the other guy’s name cheeks but you know I was like yeah I’m gonna I’m gonna screw this up there this is forced to mess you up but yeah
You know what they’re playing games on me man I think I don’t think it’s real I think they’re just trying to make Hollywood look stupid all they had to do was switch chairs and then it would have been problem solved you know but hey right but they’ve been on an El Paso man
I heard El Paso has some nice looking chicks out there that’s right you think that’s true man yeah you got the Latinos man that’s yeah yeah you got a lot of Latinos but the thing is down in uh El Paso I heard they’re pretty hot out there man I’m
Sure but I’m sure you know I like certain cities you know I I like the towns where women outnumbered the men that is beautiful because then you get a three to one chance on the odds of getting somebody the population you know like now all of a sudden you know the
Guy is now making the decisions rather than the girl making the decision that’s really how it works in our society and you’re right Chase man it don’t make uh take too much to make me look stupid I do that on my own uh but Chase he’s funny dude I’m telling you so
You’re hooked up in the Psychedelic house I should call it yes yes this is the stream house guys this is where I used to stream way before back all this you know I’ve I’ve been streaming for about 15 years and uh this didn’t come out of nowhere of course you know I
Built up to it for many of years but um I don’t even use it man you’re inspiring me man I should go build one out back in our yard and stuff like that yeah that would not have to get as crazy as this all you have to do
Is just put a shed you know you know no crap man so how did you come by these guys so guardian of the children um they when we cut when we talk to flex and off the scenes she actually was messaging me and saying you know what we
I have two very special people you know that would love to represent their you know organization and I was like absolutely you know anytime we have guests that you know are specially recommended by people that we have also interviewed you know that even solidifies it even that much more so
That that kind of makes us on our side feel even better that is you know I’m jealous of something right I’m hugely jealous and I’m not a jealous guy but you know why I’m jealous why because of flex’s husband I wish I was in his shoes okay actually where you think
You’re thinking okay I’m I’m kind of freaking jealous of Meg’s motorcycle Journey her husband is like what the hell man Hollywood’s getting left out here no you’re you’re pushed off to the Wayside I am my problem is I worry though about her husband she’ll kick your ass oh no no I can’t
I can’t have a woman I ask I don’t want him kicking my ass then I look stupid and then all my friends at the playground and make fun of me that’s what I’m telling you that’s messed up uh let’s see here big lock Joker thus the one percent culture
Concerning motorcycle clubs was born in the might what okay you guys got me screwed up already man that ain’t cool throwing me a curveball during the show just getting started that’s what they do man hey that’s that’s the professionalism of something that we’re even gonna talk about a
Little bit but just so that is really changed to the game you know on a lot of things that it has a lot of people don’t know a lot of the clubs that are out there have actually gone with tradition I know a lot of people have problems with tradition what do you
Think about them type of people what prop people that have problems with tradition um you’re just trying to reinvent the wheel and you want to have it your way you know um it’s that is when you don’t want to follow tradition tradition is like when we all agree like
This is what we have done for years you know this is this is something that we have built up to to this point why are you going to tear this down you know and that’s kind of how I look at that nonetheless well I think that’s the me too
Generation uh Generation X they want everything there and then the Pick Me generation you know yeah I you know I want myself I want the a trophy even though I came in last place to last place that’s right I still deserve a trophy for participation in it
And that’s kind of crept in to the MC Scene It really has I’ve seen it out there where I freaked out it’s funny I had a I just put up you know just a snid bit of a clip of the aliens MC they used to be out of New York they
Were actually the Third Street crew before they became Hell’s Angels and the way that people took that was unbelievable it was craziness man so people just got like super upset with it or what yeah they got super upset and I was like what the hell are they talking about
Manners used to be yeah I’m gonna pull it up just to show you guys uh hold on a second here let’s get it up there share the screen and uh later on we’ll actually get our guests to check this out I like this screen sharing stuff it’s pretty cool
I love it you know it makes it better to know BS but let me get your thoughts on this this is the way I guess I can call it the Golden Era of Bikes let’s listen yeah well you know what he’s doing now he’s putting uh
Pressure on a landlord like we just got kicked out of one apartment and we’re getting evicted out of the second one and here comes the third right now this is our last place to live is not the point the point is like they’re busting our balls yeah that was
Sandy Alexander right there he is yeah he’s a legend yeah what’s wrong with that right they used to speak facts back then yeah but that’s that’s the thing people are too scared yeah people because they get canceled and people get treated unfair you know it’s that’s the truth
Anytime anybody says anything you know like that it’s messed up I tell you what man I wish I was uh back in the 60s and uh the 70s it looked like they knew how to party well see you got to go through the 90s era like party
Yeah 90s they party but not like uh the earlier boys those Vietnam boys they knew how to party it was just a different level a different level hardcore man you imagine you know most of them guys lived at the Third Street and that’s what their whole life was
Based on was that club you won’t find that kind of dedication a lot of times now it’s hard to find it’s really hard to find that type of level of you know people that are that committed and I mean just like on that next like level of thinking you know
Rather than just the the me stuff what can benefit me it’s the it’s the bigger of Us coming you know putting our best um the best way I can put it is we all put our best traits in the middle and then we all eat off of that together you
Know it’s something beautiful and uh I think that’s something that our two guests can actually speak on today and then Shaggy of course misses the 60s porn uh you know what I think uh Stanley uh Sandy Alexander and all the guys would have loved your house man look at
That man you imagine them guys in that uh radio room right now they be tripping they’d be tripping no they’ll be stuck in a corner you know hyperventilating so here’s another question for you here’s another question for you would that be the time that you wanted
To live in if you could do it all over again no no no I would have picked your era oh the 90s I mean I was born in 95 but you know I was born in the 90s so yeah I didn’t get to like actually enjoy that
Stuff until like the early or late 2000 not late you know but like early 2000s I guess see where I’m Different I would have loved to been in that air that was the air that was the era Choppers real choppers by the way uh a lot of Panhead shovels everything back then
That would have been me I was lucky enough to go through it to where you know I learned from a lot of them type of guys and now you’ll see them retiring out a lot and you know on their walkers it’s not it’s no joke no joke with the Walkers or the trikes
You know right uh Invader Shaggy best motorcycles best Brotherhood women were women sick and make you a sandwich anyway this is a risen dead in here make sure Mikey I don’t make an ass out of myself on this one uh we got the Risen dead MC in here we got Ash
A-s-h uh so I didn’t Hollywood is on that one yet and then we got cheeks do you guys ever face that where you guys are together and somebody slips up and calls you know Ash she just calls you ass and the uh the other one cheeks that would suck Hollywood I
I always leave it to me man hopefully uh when you go back the guys ain’t gonna go say hey man hey what’s up ass you know it usually happens I say something stupid and it sticks with them hey it’s radio you guys are the Risen dead baby how did
You come up with the name what are you guys about let’s hear it man the name um we started out originally as a writing club and we were Masons uh Freemasons and it’s a term that people in masonry would understand and that’s where the name came from
One thing I do got a question right off the bat man are you guys holding uh the lost ark or you got the you know the Knights Templar stuff you guys pretty crazy out there you know you behind the scenes of that new world order stuff
Yeah that’s why we’ve got that uh tarp in the back covering up the millions of dollars that we have hidden right oh man I agree Shaggy I always say some stupid crap but anyway you guys said in the back that you had 15 years that you
Started to go and that’s a long time because a lot of clubs don’t make it past five right fact luckily uh was it this year our chapter celebrated our 10-year anniversary so you know Club 15 us being around for 10. hoping for you know another 10 20 more or whatever we can get
To the Future now you said you were an RC at first now you’re what a diamond 13 you said yes how did you go about that and what did you think about what me and Mike were talking about earlier about how a lot of people don’t like the tradition
Well that’s exactly how we did it was going through the traditions we were old school we like the old school ways and uh like I said started out as an RC got the blessing to break them apart and become a three-piece patch and eventually got our uh skate bottom rocker and our Diamond
13 so how did that make you feel going through that process did you feel some accomplishment after that you know because a lot of people want it now now now yeah but I think you feel better going through the regular process don’t you he shortened it up a lot uh protocol was
Very strict with us uh they ran almost two years slick back attending everybody’s stuff before they we were able to run as a narcy um here in El Paso uh eventually like I said they they were told you know if you’re going to be an emcee take that
Same patch cut that top rocker save your Center patch they ran as a two-piece for a while until they earned their emcee uh fast forward a couple years down the thing you got your bottom rocker we’re running El Paso fast forward a little bit more uh apparently you know the
Powers said we deserve to wear Texas fast forward some more we get our Diamond uh just levels of dedication and not giving up you know are you guys a part of the Confederation yes part of the Confederation yes good deal man what do you got Mike no I
I you you mentioned Texas and I know that’s from just behind the scenes and also with your name is you have El Paso right there and so with your chapter you you were speaking on El Paso passionately and I love hearing people talk about their cities and what makes them unique absolutely
Um so although we have you know multiple chapters and they all are very engaged in their communities uh helping out in any way they can uh I could only speak on my chapter here in El Paso and we are a part of an amazing COC uh it consists of over 60 plus clubs
You know during the week everybody’s riding their motorcycles and respecting each other and on the weekend it’s a charity event for some person a family a non-profit uh there’s no drama it’s a very very special place we appreciate it as you were saying Flex we have a really
Uh tight relationship with the Guardians like she said if they mention kids the bikers here come running to help that’s right it’s a unique thing to see I’ve been able to travel other places and I’ve seen it a lot of different ways and I love my town I love the way we do
It I like the way they do it too but I love the way we do it here it’s pretty much a lot of the stuff you guys have talked about on your show for a long time about you know not acted up acting like you’re supposed to following protocol
Respecting each other helping your community and with that it’s fantastic that’s right not one thing a lot of people don’t understand is yeah clubs are about a lot of partying and riding but they do get involved in them communities what do you say about the naysayers because we get a
Lot of naysayers here in the comments section about how bad clubs are or I’m not going to get into a club I had a bad experience well what about the community work you know it’s like you were saying um and we hear it all the time oh you
Know you have to give part of what you raise to you know to support and it’s like it’s nothing like that I mean what we raise is what we raise and we don’t have to uh no none of that illegal crap goes on behind the scenes for us and you
Know we just out there raising money and supporting what we can do now you said you supported a lot of veterans causes what are those so the main one we do right now is uh mission 22. um a great organization because they say how 22 veterans active
Duty whatever uh take their lives a day so it’s to try to help combat suicide and uh we’ve been doing that first year we did the American Soldier Network um which was collecting used shoes and then I found out about Mission 22 and we’ve been running with them ever since
And I have no desire to change the skate reps to come out and represent here um they they got like a 10 or 11 hour drive to come out here and support us but um they come out they support and it’s just a fantastic organization now one thing that’s uh very interesting
Mike you to jump in any time here and never see you this quiet uh you’re running it so go ahead Jamie welcome to the show what is one of the things that you guys have learned about suicide with vets since you got involved can I take
This one all right so uh me being a retired army vet I’ve seen it a lot served with a lot of people that were amazing they’re gone because of it uh when I was young in the game and approaching them about future membership you know I was still in the military uh
It was something I was dealing with it was near and dear to me seeing them takes such an active role in helping veterans is a key factor or what made me want to join the Risen dead in the first place besides being a Mason um since then you know
I’ve continued to see it whether you know the guy or not or you served in the same unit uh our club has recently been affected by it and uh so it’s it’s very near and dear to our heart something that we’re going to continue to do he
Passed the ball to me and we’re going to keep trucking with it you know and uh whatever we can do to bring awareness to this issue and help combat it we’re gonna do that’s that’s what I can say it I think absolutely no that’s that’s amazing um
That that’s something that you know we were kind of also discussing behind the scenes is is just the amount of like how Hollywood says is the naysayers but it’s not enough of coverage of guys like our show that is actually covering the good stuff rather than all these shows that
Would rather show just a ton of just the the bad stuff Non-Stop and it’s like this is why we run this show is because it’s about showing the good that comes uh from our communities from the MC scene yes sir yep exactly that’s something that you guys feel directly I’m sure you
Know I hope that we have to find a new charity because suicide is a thing of the past that that would be awesome that uh I don’t think I’ll ever live to see the day but you know that would be something really good to see but
Um well you you guys have been going hand in hand with uh the guardian of the children and though I got that what Mike or did I Hollywood in that one yeah gardening the children yep okay you know just making sure because there’s a you know a couple I think there’s actually a
Chapter of that here in Wisconsin great organizations they’re pretty out there yeah what Drew you to have a close working relationship with them so it the the relationship between the Guardians and us is fantastic but I’ll also say the relationship between us and every other club in our
Coalition is fantastic uh the El Paso motorcycle Coalition is the most tight-knit group of bikers from so many diverse clubs 60 plus clubs of all levels from your your Motorcycle Ministries to you know MC to a diamond to the dot everybody is working together uh and you can’t get any better than
That to have a good relationship everybody saying hi remembering you know if you’re sick or ill or something happened to one of your members and the fact that we run a calendar through the entire year that every weekend it focuses on one of the other motorcycle clubs events and what they’re trying to
Do and we come out in droves to support it so you will never come to El Paso on a weekend and not be able to see two three four five hundred bikers in an event for a good cause not in the city it’s it’s the best cheeks uh
What would you say to a club about joining the COC why should they um I just think it’s the right way to go about it number one and uh number two that’s that’s how everything is set up in the city that’s what keeps you from having your event on a day and nobody
Shows up to it because they’re all at another event um you know you have to communicate our very first run we had 22 people at our last one we had around 300 at um big difference in the 10 years since I’ve been doing it and uh but the COC that just that’s how
Everybody gets together and gets along I mean like ash was saying we do we get along other even our other chapters I’ve talked to them in their COC they don’t have that same type of relationship that we have it just to me it’s the only way you should go
Well as you can tell I’m a huge supporter of the Confederation of Clubs big time I have been the whole time I’ve been on the radio and I I always find it interesting how the all the clubs they get together support each other’s causes and then Mike you have the media law
Enforcement and boy do I I’m gonna hit somebody tomorrow on this one as far as pushing out law enforcement propaganda on tomorrow morning show but you have a huge COC out there by you mega mega it’s a it’s a big COC and it’s something that it you know with you know there’s
There’s a lot of motorcycle clubs 350 plus motorcycle clubs and so you know Southern California in the COC and it’s extremely there’s a lot of people but that’s the thing is that we don’t really have as much uh I would say problems and or issues that maybe other cities also
Deal with too uh for some reason we have been able to definitely keep it very tight uh that’s that’s something that we were blessed with here um and the people that are still involved today which we’re very blessed with because it’s I believe the very first COC I I can’t remember um
There are if you guys got questions for Ash and uh I always have to say Ash when I say it you know I got an accent but anyway if you got questions right now you just send them in uh Jamie has one for you guys since you all 13 percenters
Do you all hang around with one percenters so we’re not uh 13 percenters we were the diamond 13 uh symbolically it was given to us but from the Southern California outlaw Federation the the whole point of being an outlaw Club but we don’t call ourselves 13 percenters um
But her question again please besides yeah we can hang out with I’ve met at lunch from all bunch of Clubs a whole bunch of clubs awesome stuff thanks for that uh Tattoos by Roger I’m telling you what Mike is really the driving force behind this show no and I
I appreciate it no and thank you guys so much again for coming on the show first and foremost I wanted to First say that uh we can’t thank you guys enough and getting you know these things out that are the betterment of our society and the betterment of this culture
And this is what I love that you guys are coming on here for is is for that very reason and I’m I’m gonna keep pushing that because it’s it’s something that is near and dear to my heart it’s something that I I care and respect for obviously I went through a traumatic you
Know scene but I was able to come out on the other side on a very good note and that good note was always something that was has rung through to this day for me so that is why I stand here today but you know I see you guys doing very much
The same thing and obviously you know with your guys’s connection over there if you know Flex has nothing but the utmost respect for you guys and uh I’m sure you guys are just you know you guys be able to ride all the time but the the real question I have is is
Do you see all these like how frustrating is it as a club or an organization to see all the negativity going around you and yet we’re trying to reach out and go hey there is more to this than this negativity this crap we have real Brotherhood we have real you
Know Sisterhood or whatever it is you know it can be any of it you know what what makes you guys special um can I cuss go ahead so uh by example one of the other good things about the COC is that instead of learning protocol and stuff from the
Internet you have real ogs there to help you and guide you um when everything is going the way it’s supposed to you could do a really big thing called mind your own fucking business and get you out of other other people’s Kool-Aid it does you know and then
Not just talking about being a biker and but but living it and by example you know we’ve learned by example and now we try to live by example and I think that’s the best you can say because some people you could tell them it’s in one ear out the other there’s always going
To be somebody the naysayers or somebody who has a confidence or complain or concern or things they know about the lifestyle um yes it’s not easy and you got to live it if you’re not really living it that you’re not going to benefit from it not going to get
Anything out of it uh you’ll just probably be a thorn in the side of somebody we’re just lucky that our community works together so well that we can do everything we have to do at every level of you know bike club and enjoy ourselves and enjoy the culture
And for Jason’s question there you do not need to be amazing to join it was founded by Masons uh we have Masons and non-masons both uh there’s no different in how we are or who we are we’re all the same people we all belong to the Risen dead
How do you differ from uh the Widow’s Sons I know the Widow sons are out there there are masons but they’re a writing Club how are you different well in Widow Sons you have to be a Master Mason to belong um there’s no prospecting there’s no hang around there’s no nothing um
But in uh Widow Sons as long as you’re a Master Mason you pay their fee you can become a member we don’t do that so in their jurisdiction can shut them down and if you belong with Widow Sons or any of the other Masonic actual riding clubs
You’re controlled by the Grand Lodge of whatever state you’re in so not only do you have to deal with your local COC and get blessings you have to follow under the Grand Lodge and uh keep that going also we got the guardian Rider in here right now awesome stuff right there but go
Ahead multiple we got we got our DMC stock uh those are my brothers what is up Ash and cheeks yeah I got that correct you’ve got me on my toes right now worrying about that because I don’t need uh all your guys watching going back no it’s already too late it’s already too
Late you said it it’s out in the air well true enough true enough how you know what I never understood this maybe I’m ignorant of this fact but the organizations that start out of some of these fraternities as you know basic example would be the Widow Sons or the
Moose writers I don’t know if I could ever be a part of an organization like that because like you said in the background how are you gonna run your stuff where somebody has no bike and tell you what to do that’s exactly why we did but we did as
A club didn’t say the Risen dead is going to be the Risen dead and the answer to the Risen dead the other guys they have great groups of people we’ve met them we like them um but that’s not for us we wanted to have a club that you had to hang around
You had a prospect you earned your membership and it’s not happening in um now can anybody just call you guys up or because I know a lot of this happens on the internet with other clubs but do they actually have to walk up to you and introduce themselves
Or do you take contacts over the internet as far as hey you want to come to a open house or something how does that all work with you guys and what do you think about that I think you just said it that’s that’s how it’s supposed
To be you want to be in the Risen dead we’re not recruiting you want to be with us you come find us contact us and you know they’ll be a talk and discussion but we also don’t exist to shit on other people cocs and just pop up clubs in their town and just
Throw them throw people to the wolves like that where they’re not able to do things the right way so there’s a whole gamut of talking that would have to happen with the dominant clubs in that area following proper procedures protocol etiquette and whatnot and and
Maybe we can see about it but if you want to be in the Risen dead come see us not everybody’s going to make it into the Risen dead it’s just the way it is big lock Joker Master Mason in good standing right there yes Steve you gotta
Watch out for the hollywood-isms man and I think they need to give me a special section of a dictionary yeah no you definitely have your own small dictionary of hollywood-isms already lost you know when they say Holly was uh see there’s a hollywoodism they have a picture of me right there houses thanks
For that uh donation Steve we really appreciate the support of your soul and again I want to make sure you guys and Gales understand how much of a driving force Mike is he’s the one that gets to guess he’s the one who sets up the show uh I just show up
And look pretty while he looks ugly but he does I got a radio face yeah you got the radio face just like me but we got you know what I what about women in the scene now and cheeks you’re probably like I was when I first got into this sphere of influence
I remember a time where we looked at women on a bike as something not desirable and it was always their place to sit on the back of a bike and it’s changed a lot and I kind of find it sexy now that women are on their bikes kind
Of sexy but what do you think the transformation of the scene from then until today how how did you accept it you’re always gonna time’s Gonna Change um there’s a place for everybody in the Coalition um uh it’s risen dead no uh we’re traditional it is males only
Um our old ladies are very supportive hell I just celebrated my 34th anniversary yesterday with my old lady so wow congratulations man yeah thank you it it takes a lot of give and take but you know they’re going to be on the scene and the way I look at it
As long as they go about it the right way and they be get their patches the same way by following protocol and going through the procedure you know that’s fine but if it’s just because it’s somebody’s old lady and they get a special pass no I don’t buy that
34 years man I’d be lucky to make 30 without China down freaking killing me but uh I can’t believe how long you guys been together with both your old ladies that’s a long time for both of you yeah longer than you’ve been alive man yeah
For real Candace he she wants to give a shout out to you it was great to meet you all yesterday that’s awesome that was towards Ash and cheeks not sure where where they met you but I don’t know yesterday yeah that’s awesome awesome we got crowd checking in
What else do you think Mike about how the smaller clubs like risen dead are following the Traditions that they needed to and then you got the whiners out there that you know the especially you know what burns my ass hairs is some of the so-called creators in the
So-called clubs will come out and Bash the tradition that they claim to be a part of well that’s the thing right it that’s why they are reaping the rewards that they are today because they did follow that tradition and a lot of people are not willing to actually go
Through the process of being a slickback for two years straight you know not a lot of people are are down to do that they’re right there right now like I want to show a flag you know uh that’s too much of a model for them that they’re not focused on gelling
Themselves as humans you know and have that true Brotherhood come up and that’s where I think that their backbone probably is it’s it’s uh it’s quality over quantity right that’s right so I I’m good give me three of my guys like whatever you know I’d rather have what I
Have right now and they earned it than 50 guys over here that it ain’t worth a fuck that’s right you know it’s like the the saying I’d rather have you know four quarters than 100 pennies you know absolutely you want the solid people come on Mike I know you got some good
Questions right there I’m actually gonna be doing something different here for y’all what are you gonna throw up you’re gonna throw oh you’re gonna throw out the studio line I haven’t done one of these ones and talk to the yeah Mikey didn’t know right there if
You want to talk to the Risen dead go ahead you can call right now I’ll open the phone lines for a couple minutes for you all to get them questioned or if you just want to hear yourself talk like I do on a daily basis
You know I’m gonna say hey man I get to talk and I get to hear myself especially back in these earphones but uh Nelson go ahead and read that one Mike if you don’t want to follow the rules of the roads so to speak just be by yourself
You don’t have to wear a back patch or any patch to write on twos and that is very correct by the way it’s okay to be that guy it’s okay to be independent from everyone it’s okay you know if that’s if it’s not for you it’s not for you that’s okay
That’s a great point and part of our COC is a lot of Independence Who come out get the information and enjoy themselves with people who are working right what’s wrong with socializing on a set I I think that’s what we’re supposed to do is is actually enjoy ourselves not
You know be so clicked up and and only to ourselves I mean there were times you know in those two years running six slick back going to everything and yeah sometimes you wonder man but I’ll tell you what I wouldn’t trade a day of it I wouldn’t
Trade a day I mean uh you know you asked about how we went from an RC to a Diamond Club and I mean that wasn’t overnight that was years in the workings and yeah I’m proud of it but that wasn’t the goal you know I didn’t
Start the El Paso chapter saying one day I’m going to be a Diamond Club that was never the goal um but the Brotherhood that I’ve got here I I wouldn’t trade them for anything what do you think the rise in people in the last few years
Because I really saw it in 2017 when I started the YouTube section of the show I’ve been podcasting since 2011. but it wasn’t that prevalent as it is now what is their deal where guys just want to go out and buy a bike and throw a
Patch on mm-hmm I is that a question to us yep okay um two things I I think about sometimes and me and my brothers will talk about one of them is in the age of social media when everybody’s connected they’re more alone than they ever were before
And so they see something and they they feel like they could be connected to it and they try but sometimes they don’t do it the right way uh the other thing is TV TV shows like SOA and the Mayans and they want to emulate that but it’s not reality it
Touches on little reality things but it’s entertainment a serial killer on a bike you know it doesn’t work like that that’s right it attracts the fringes that really want to belong to something and then there’s the people who do it the smart way uh they’ll hit up their
Local COC they’ll go to their local motorcycle Community learn protocol introduce yourself and then you know the rest is the rest um uh let’s see here another one Jamie I won’t say no club name but where I live uh they was a club that were bringing
Family members in left and right I guess just walk in and get your cutting right by no means no it ain’t because then you if you don’t probate in or Prospect then how are you going to be proud of something that you got instead you know
Anybody can pay for it uh thanks for that uh Pete uh awesome interview awesome guys here awesome guys learning a lot what makes El Paso a different scene than most of the country hell you said it before it’s a dry heat we don’t have six digit temperatures like what does but uh
I already already got you yeah he’s throwing it right back at you yeah but we can ride year round you know that’s one of the great things here you can ride year round and that’s that’s a big benefit that you know I take for granted personally that’s something that I I
Have year-round always and so not everyone has that such as Hollywood over here he doesn’t have that luxury in Canada and uh I think half the time they should be a snow build smoke yeah snowmobile club he did it they have more time to ride snowmobiles than they do motorcycles but
Uh you know that’s that’s not for me um I wasn’t born here but after I got out of the army I settled here and like you can’t beat the weather but as far as the motorcycle scene besides just being able to ride it just 99
Of the riders in El Paso get along with each other you’re always well that’s a couple out there but the majority of us all get along and uh it’s great to know that you can support each other well we you know why the reason why I brought that
Question up is even up here in Northern Illinois Chicago we’ve heard how different the scene is in El Paso and I think that is a testament to how you guys are doing everything down there thank you sir Christian it goes It goes back to the COC thing again the connections the networking
It’s where you find the best bike mechanics be able to show you things teach you uh there’s you talked about lady Riders we have some of the coolest lady writers even a a motorcycle club four ladies in El Paso and they’re pretty dope so it’s it’s amazing I don’t know and like JT
Just said you know we do have the other side of the Border we have a couple clubs out of Juarez Mexico that come to our COC and invite us to their events over there so it we do have both sides of the Border there where we can ride
I don’t know man I’d be scared to go over there man they uh they probably like kill Hollywood over there and that wouldn’t be good for anybody but uh you know they probably cut me up or something for saying something stupid but uh anyway let’s get to another side of this as far
As say independence how how important is it to be able to work on your own motorcycle no well I’m not independent but I think that’s I think it’s pretty important to work on your motorcycle this guy back in the day when he was the pre the president pretty pretty dick to me about
Keeping my bike up and uh no motorcycle no motorcycle club dear prospects you know so I had to constantly wrench on it fix it and came to the point where I had to buy a brand new and in order to stick it out yeah that’s very interesting that’s very
Interesting you said that Ash because cheek was from a different generation where the motorcycles were not as Dependable as they are now you know like I said we had the shovel heads we had iron heads evil thank God fix a lot of that stuff but you just still work on
Them so you actually had to know how to work on a bike back then well I mean it’s just like with anything whether it’s your car or fixing something in your house finding someone Dependable that is trustworthy is almost impossible so if you don’t know at least
A little bit about it it’s the only way you’re going to be able to survive to keep people from screwing you do you think technology uh cheeks has made people lazy ignorant whatever you want to say about knowing their motorcycle because that’s just as important uh you know than any
Thing out there I have to say to a certain point yes but you also you have an issue Google it you know YouTube video of what to look for um I’ve done it yeah it’s doing this and you Google it and whoa did you do this
Oh yeah right okay I think it comes down to execution for a lot of people they’re not willing to like actually go and look like I’ve I have learned more from the YouTube University than I have my own like schooling uh so that’s some that
You know if you have a problem on your bike you know instead of bringing in every time your mirror gets readjusted or something like that why don’t you look up look up on YouTube or Google something it’s it’s not that hard to do that and uh it’s just about executing
And people don’t want to do it themselves now with the dead are they uh Cheeks is it an all Harley or All-American or you put anything no you can write anything uh 700 feet 750 cc or higher uh Cruiser style motorcycles um but it I mean you were making fun of
A walker before and I mean I got my Walker because I had this little thing called Falling lately but uh you know I know I know a thing about that yeah I’ve fallen on my own leg you know and yeah I was off of it for three
Months so I just got finished with that so that’s a big ordeal yeah I was I was walking around with a walker too yeah thanks for that Katie thanks for that Katie we appreciate go ahead cheeks I’m sorry yeah I saw that pop up you know I was just saying it
Doesn’t matter you know if it’s uh American or metric or whatever the main thing is is that you know you can keep up with us on a ride that’s the most important thing I guess Jamie says Hollywood gives bikers a bad image boom pee on you uh
Gee yeah I’m someone who referenced uh the Masons and Nelson uh as far as talking about the Masons and stuff uh they do they are masons some aren’t some you know are but you can answer that question guys we both are not everybody in the club is it’s about right now it’s
About maybe 50 50 60 40. interesting that just shows how much you’ve grown from one point in time to open it up to everybody right I mean and it’s you got a lot of good people out there who just uh never joined their fraternity a lot of times people don’t
Know what it takes to become a Mason so uh they never join and uh they keep waiting to be asked and nobody gets asked you gotta ask so um same thing like the club I’m not gonna walk up and say hey why don’t you join reason dead I’m not going to walk
Up and say hey why don’t you join me scenery uh you got to show that interest in it before I ever bring it up to you Katie uh first time here does that yeah every donation we get goes towards specifically for the show if it wasn’t
For you guys and Gail’s out there help with the donations we wouldn’t have the equipment that we do here because it does get expensive it really does you know it looks like Mike’s sitting in a hundred thousand that much too much I mean way too much right exactly
Uh let’s see here angel from Texas uh Masons are good people Hollywood does a good job reporting in interviews I appreciate that but some love Mikey’s way man Mikey’s my uh right hand man there uh he’s the co-host of the show don’t forget uh him insane Wheels man
Appreciate you yeah insane Wheels now you guys said that it’s open to everybody as far as motorcycles are concerned I think that’s really changed cheeks over the time because it used to be man you bring a Honda to a rally that sucker’s in the tree getting banged on
Uh I don’t know I’d rather have a real brother with a Honda than a fake brother with a Harley so that was the best answer yes I agree 100 that’s what it’s about it’s I mean yeah we ride motorcycles but we’re humans are supposed to jail as
Brothers you know and that’s what I feel like if we can’t do that then why are we a club doesn’t make sense yeah absolutely and our our brother Rojo over here our event went great that’s awesome well you you guys are lucky down there because you do get all writing season
Where us over here it’s like we’re lucky to get six months then you’re on the I feel for Canada because it’s worse up in Canada and then for us you know you might want to Branch out to the snowmobile type of deal up there yeah you definitely need something I would
Need a snowmobile I would need one at that point if that I can’t go six months six months a long time like to just stow away and just you can’t a ski onto your leg oh you know that would be pretty cool that’d be pretty cool we can make
Something happen we can make something happen you know what I don’t think Mike could uh take the winter time up here he was cold in Iowa weren’t you yeah I was I was I I don’t do very well with I grew up in Southern California where people
Pay for their weather you know that’s literally what they’re paying for so it’s def I I’m when it gets too cold they’re too hot I’m out of it you’re out of there huh yeah uh my guardian writer is mad respect to the Masons my son is a
Master Mason he worked just as hard on that as he did on his Center patch for the guardian Riders rock and roll there what is some of the most ridiculous themes you guys have heard about the Masons us everything people so they’re so to be clear there are fake Masons fake Masonic
Groups uh like anything else you want to be in a motorcycle club you find a legit scene go to it uh but if you want to be amazing you got to look it up find real lodges uh there’s two sides of masonry Prince Hall Masonry and ancient Free and Accepted masonry
Which like we happen to be a part of um one is historically black one is historically white but now they’re both very diverse yeah and uh they’re doing the same thing and most places they recognize each other go to Lodge with each other it’s fantastic um it’s all about making a good man
Better same thing by being in the motorcycle club you could take a guy and make them better if they’re in a righteous club or you can make a shithead what’s up Kraut man you guys got that damn uh you got the Lost Ark don’t you you got the Holy
Grail you guys are hiding that on us yeah in his garage to watch it [Laughter] what other ridiculous stuff have you know because masonary throughout history because I believe it’s the secrecy of that stuff that makes people nervous but what other kind of weird things have you heard about the animation they were
Devil worshipers and you know which is totally untrue um you have to believe in a Supreme Being to belong uh we have a Bible open during our meetings we open and close on prayer so uh yeah that one just definitely but it’s just like anything if you watch
Sons of Anarchy you’re gonna think that’s what belonging to a club is if you watch some of the shows and hear some of the crap about masonry that’s what you’re gonna think it is but um I it definitely they’re both a bunch of crap Catholic animation writer so yeah um
Saying it’s not we’re not a secret society because if we’re a secret society I wouldn’t be telling you that I was a Mason we wouldn’t have rings that we wear or signs on the buildings where we meet or whatever we’re just a society that has secrets that’s the big difference
Uh your brother rdmc stuck uh he goes and I let me know your thoughts Mike and you uh Ash and see I’m trying not to say it too much because I know I’m a slip-off there’s a big difference in being a biker and a motorcycle Enthusiast very
Well true know what you ride it’s an extension of you what are you think of that statement absolutely it is an extension of you it’s a conversation me and stuck have all the time uh when we were both first coming up in the club would say you could be a biker or
Motorcycle Enthusiast and you could have the baddest fucking bike on the planet all decked out with all the bells and whistles you could afford the gas to go everywhere you have a blast but if you’re in a motorcycle club you’re going to have a bike maybe it’s
The baddest bike on the planet maybe not but you’re going to be in the hospital when your brother’s sick you’re going to travel to see other brothers you’re going to be working on your bike in other chapters when it breaks down or you know you’re going to be over there
Having adventures and you’re not going to maybe be able to put all that money into being a motorcycle Enthusiast because you’re putting all that money into being your motorcycle club that’s very true it’s expensive to be in an MC I can tell you all that well yeah
And usually you’re you’re using up a lot of resources rather than gaining you’re usually putting more out than you’re receiving well like he said you know at least one event almost every weekend in El Paso you know you got to pay to go to it uh
Just like we charged people an entry fee to come to our event this past Sunday and uh but I mean it’s not ridiculous when you go to one and you pay a ten dollar entry fee but when you do that every weekend or sometimes twice on a weekend and then
Oh you want to have a beer while you’re there or you want this or buy their merchandise they may have out they’ve you know we had vendors that are selling brass knuckles selling uh body wash beef jerky you know just a variety of stuff so you know it’s uh
It definitely can add up yeah that ten dollar stuff the ten dollars you to death trust me it does it tallies up at the end and by the end of what you walk out you know we charge ten dollars but that included we had uh these are lasagna or
Chicken alfredo garlic bread uh banana pudding for dessert you know so for 10 bucks and you’re getting that meal you really can’t go wrong with that no you that’s your that’s a meal that’s a perfect meal right there ten bucks I’m just surprised though that you guys
Didn’t have a lot of Tex-Mex at that aren’t you guys known for tax bucks down there we like to change things every event’s got brisket or you know street tacos or whatever but um one thing that our event’s been known for we have some of the best prizes and
Uh some of the best food at our event do you like give it away do you give away as one of your prices a 26 year old blonde I’ve been looking to win one of them yeah I won her though oh yeah he won that’s right yeah
34 years ago that’s how I got my wife what are you talking about there you go where is their brisket you know what Steve it’s funny Hollywood is pretty stupid I don’t even know what a hell of brisket is you don’t it’s a steak man
I didn’t think either oh man it’s a big piece man where I come from it’s called the steak why make it difficult well there’s multiple parts to the cow man you come to our event next year and I’ll give you brisket there you go and that’s that’s a good quality meat
What we’re serving at the event but no that’s only for Hollywood we’ll have some for Hollywood that’s right here you go for the open world hey everybody that would be fun to see everybody but uh what are your last final thoughts uh guys Ash and cheeks on everything that
You talked about here today and again thanks for uh joining in on the Hollywood and Mike show a part of the interview and everybody listening on wmmrdb right now but what’s some of your final thoughts oh main thing uh you know thank you for having us so we
Can highlight a little bit about what our club does um I really love that you guys are trying to show off some of the good that the clubs do uh there’s so much negative negativity out there all you got to do is look at the news my Biker News tell
Me I know trust me they do it all week and that’s why I like this part really appreciate that you’re bringing out the positives that people are doing and um like I say I I’m glad that we’ve been able to support Mission 22 as long as we’ve have and develop the relationship
That we have with the people and um it just El Paso is an awesome place but risen dead it’s an awesome club rock and roll what about you Ash I mean he said it all but so if uh if I could also thank you guys for having us on
Um I hope everybody out there is riding the motorcycles enjoying the the lifestyle and if you find yourself in El Paso enjoy it with us the Coalition is is you know it’s there it’s not hard to find and uh but that thank you rock on man we appreciate having you on
Guys you guys are always welcome back on the show let us know what events you got going on I’ll feature that in the new section in the mornings but uh thank Ash and cheeks and I didn’t screw it up the whole show I’m proud of myself but um
We’ll talk to you guys later rock on baby thank you guys Mikey what did you think of the interview right there and I like what rdmc media has to say boy I can uh no I’m not gonna go to anyway uh being an MC means representing your nation to the
Community Helping the community is a large part what do you think about that absolutely you know I came from a charity Club itself and it very much is uh you know about being a better person overall being a better Community uh you know you’re putting better into the community into your your your
Communities then you’re putting or pulling from them or putting into negative so that’s what I think is is being a part of an MC is like I said it’s not for everyone because not everyone’s willing to sharpen you know like that and it takes a special person
To be able to sharpen with their brothers and grind to the top like these gentlemen have uh big lock Joker tough question you know you don’t get the asshole questions on this show man you get that on motorcycle mad house uh but I really like really like showing everybody the true
MCS out there the true people that ride a motorcycle you see a lot of dumb shit on Biker News that’s not the real scene man that don’t happen every damn day as I say it is actually something that don’t happen in the same areas it’s not like everybody’s going around shooting each
Other you’re seeing individual incidences of what’s happening this right here with the Risen dead is the true MC scene yes it is every everything from one percenters down the riding clubs this is the true scene and that’s what it takes you know someone that that is dedicated uh to
That level it does it takes a certain person to do that and like I was saying earlier in the show it’s okay that to not be that person you know and understand that it’s and I and I say that so you don’t find out later down
The road if you already know in your gut that you know what I mean it’s not really for you you gotta make you gotta know that and and like they were saying they don’t accept everybody you know sometimes they’ll have people come in and sometimes that not everybody makes
The cut and that’s you have to be okay with that as well hey Sparky Poncho my uh lost lost son I guess uh he’s gonna be one of them guys that are 18 years old and shows up at my front door Hey Dad no way uh big lock
Yeah we can invite the Widow Sons on is you know anybody that does good for the community that wants to get out their causes can get a hold of Mike on Instagram and uh let him know the wooden Peg show is quickly becoming my favorite for good interviews and great things all writers
