Brand

SubaruGear.com

This is the sponsor’s website. They sell Subaru-themed items, and the host is telling you where to shop and watch product videos.

Topic

Overland Expo West

Overland Expo West is an event where people who like road trips into the outdoors get together. You can usually see off-road/overland vehicle setups, meet vendors, and learn how to plan trips.

Brand

Subaru booth

They’re saying to stop by the Subaru booth at the event. That’s Subaru’s display area where you can talk to people and learn about their cars and gear.

Topic

Flagstaff

Flagstaff is where the event is being held. It’s a popular outdoor area, so it makes sense for an overlanding event.

Topic

Subifest events

Subifest events are Subaru-themed gatherings. The host is telling listeners to keep an eye out because more of them are starting soon.

LIVE

Hello, and welcome to another edition of the Subi Scoop.

Of course, because of what the date is today, I have to say, may the 4th be with you.

For those of you that know, you know, and I hope that most of you know, you should know.

Come on.

Okay, now that I'm done geeking out, I hope everybody had a great weekend.

Maybe some people will be watching some Star Wars marathons today.

That would be cool, wouldn't it?

I may have to do that.

I may this evening, I may have to watch some Star Wars.

At least one of them.

Anything.

Anything Star Wars today.

Come on.

So, I hope you all had a good weekend.

I had a good weekend and I actually had a long week because I went up to Kelly's house

on Friday, April 24th, and I didn't come back until Saturday, the second, May 2nd.

So, I was up there for just over a week and that was really, really nice.

And I'm glad that I was able to do that.

All right, so every time I met her house, she and her daughter get together and pull some sort of prank on me.

And I had been there for most of the week.

I had been there for several days and I was thinking like,

this is weird because they haven't pulled a prank on me at all.

And then on, I think it was on Friday when I was there, she showed me this video,

or maybe it was Saturday, Friday or Saturday.

She showed me this video of her pouring water in front of the refrigerator right below the door.

And I was like, what is going on?

Because she was telling me that the refrigerator was leaking.

And I was looking underneath the refrigerator with a flashlight.

I was feeling under the doors.

I looked up videos to try to figure out where it might be coming from,

what might be happening, why it's leaking.

And it was her the whole time pouring water in front of the refrigerator every day

and saying she didn't know what was happening and she got me.

She got me again and they were both in on it.

So, yeah, that was a good prank.

But then, of course, I had to leave and leave her and her daughter and the pranks behind.

I came back on Saturday, hung out with Luke Saturday night,

and then Sunday, we went and checked out this indoor,

well, of course, it was an indoor place, but checked out this Golf Simulator

because it's a brand, it's franchised, it's called Back9, or the Back9.

And they are looking to hire some UGC creators to create content for them.

So the owner contacted me and we're going to talk this week

about trying to get a video put together for him.

So I'm hoping that will go well.

But anyway, he had given me a discount code to come check it out

and play free for an hour.

So that was nice.

And I hadn't swung golf clubs in, I don't know, maybe two years

because I just don't play.

I'm not a golfer.

I like it.

It's fun, but it's expensive and I don't have golf clubs

and I don't really have any friends that play golf.

So I don't ever go.

But I went with Luke and tried to teach him a little bit,

like from my limited knowledge and he did all right.

But I remember the first time I tried to play,

I really, really sucked trying to hit the ball.

You know, you top it off, you miss it completely.

But he did pretty decent.

So I was proud of that.

And I did, I think I did pretty good for not having played

in a long time.

But I have a friend that used to play a lot.

I don't know if he's still good.

We haven't talked in a long time, but he was really good.

And so because he used to play a lot with his dad

and he played in tournaments and stuff.

So he was the one that taught me the stance

and how to swing and everything.

So I pretty much owe everything that I've learned to him.

So it was a pretty cool experience.

And I'll go back there again.

I think it was pretty fun because you don't have to worry

about what the weather is.

And it's open 24 seven.

It was a little odd because it was a place where

I don't think there was any staff there.

Like maybe, I think maybe somebody was there.

Because I saw a guy walking around and maybe he is the owner

that I talked to, but I'm not sure.

I didn't introduce myself or anything

because I wasn't sure that's who it was.

But anyway, it was a pretty cool experience.

So if you have a back nine near you, again,

they're franchised and they're all over the place.

And you like golf, go look it up and check it out.

Speaking of looking things up and checking them out,

go check out SubaruGear.com.

I hope that y'all are enjoying the videos

that I've been putting together for them

because I wanted to start doing something different

for a really long time.

All I was doing was snagging images from the website

and throwing them up in a reel.

But I told them that I want some actual products

so that I can actually show them and have them on hand

and demonstrate them.

If it's a shirt, I can wear it.

If it's a hat, I can wear it.

If it's a backpack, I can wear it.

And that way you can actually see the product

a little bit better, see it in use.

And I've been having a lot of fun.

So that's what I'm going to continue to do with SubaruGear.

But if you haven't been there for a while

or if you've never been or if you go a lot,

go check out SubaruGear.com, fill up your cart,

use the code SUBEYNDU2026 at checkout

to get 20% off your entire purchase.

And if your total is over $50 after the 20% discount,

you'll automatically get free shipping,

which I think is huge.

So be sure to fill up your cart

to be able to take advantage of the free shipping.

So and thank you so much SubaruGear.com

for sponsoring the SUBEYNDU podcast.

Again, I'm putting the videos out on Tuesdays,

but I'm also putting some stuff out here and there

whenever I kind of feel like it.

But my main post will be on Tuesdays.

So be sure to look for those.

As a reminder, Overland Expo West

and Flagstaff is coming up, it's next week.

I was thinking about that earlier.

I was like, I can't believe I'm going to be traveling

next week and going to Overland Expo

because I've been anticipating it

and now it's almost here.

And I'm excited to go to the event.

I haven't been crazy about the traveling part,

you know, having to pack and make sure you have everything

and go to the airport and do all of that.

But of course, once you get there,

then everything's cool and it's worth it.

But so I'm looking forward to going there.

If you are going to be going to Overland Expo West

and Flagstaff, come by the Subaru booth

and say hi to everybody.

And if you've never been to Overland Expo

and you've been thinking about it,

if you're on the fence, you should do it.

It's a lot of fun.

And, you know, at least come check it out for one day.

And, you know, if you're in a situation

like if you're close enough,

you can just come out for the day.

If not, there's some camping sites,

I believe that are nearby.

And there are hotels that may already be booked up.

So I don't know if that's an option.

Either way, if you can make it, come out,

check it out, come say hello.

And I'm looking forward to seeing some people again

that I haven't seen in a while.

And of course, I'm looking forward to meeting new people.

Overland Expo last year was a lot of fun.

And I'm really excited about it.

The booth for Subaru has actually

hit a much better spot this year, they said.

Last year, it was in a spot where there was a lot of just dirt around us.

And it was really windy.

I mean, everything was getting covered in dirt and dust.

And like the insides of all the cars at the booth

were just covered in dust.

All of our gear, like we were covered in dust,

it was kind of miserable.

But we're in a better spot this time.

So I'm looking forward to that.

Anyway, I hope to see you out there and check it out.

And then also there's three more events after that.

And then of course, we've got Subifest events

that are going to be starting up soon.

So be sure to be on the lookout for that as well.

But thank you all so much for tuning in to another edition

of the Subi Scoop.

I hope you all have a wonderful week.

And we'll talk to you later.

Much Subi love, RAF.
