Behind the Scenes of Garand Thumb with Micah and Charlie | The Maglife Podcast 206

[@themojowojo1626]

Mike, Micah, and Charlie are the gun world equivalent to Richard Hammond, James may, and Jeremy Clarkson.

The question is, who is who?

[@reese4077]

Charlie is so insanely relatable and honest. Big respect

[@731trident]

Charlie, thanks for the shoutout! Yes, it's really not you, but that stupid rake... Anyway, thanks for doing this interview it was very enlightening. I feel like the rake was holding you back. I had no idea that my 'rake protest' actually reached you. To be honest, I started it as a trolling, but it became a thing. The reddit stuff got really crude and I tapped out. I work as a city bus driver and I take enough abuse from strangers all day. Anyway, thanks again for the shout out and the opportunity to see you in a different light.

[@ryanbarber6481]

I think I remember reading one of your comments in their videos, and I could tell you were trolling 🤣 I think it's perfect because he gets a taste of his own medicine, in a funny way, not negative lol. But, I'm glad you also said your side and didn't freak out on him for shouting you out etc. Anyway, much love!

Garand Thumb has to be my favorite channel on KZbin. I love the progression over the years. Charlie is hilarious, but I also like when he is himself, like the Dicken drill video. I love the competition that they always have with each other.

[@kiwi_comanche]

Damn we're spolied today!! Aaron interviewing Mike and now this!?! I'm absolutely here for it. Love these guys. KZbin is a better place with them in it.

Raking as well

Charlie is mega based and needs to start his own channel

[@definitelynotmymain1808]

I fucking love Charlie's vibe, it's a damn shame we don't have a channel of his to watch alongside micah and mikes

[@rogerj.fugere3570]

Charlie’s power is relating, and non relating, to other people. He, like myself, need a sounding board to bounce off of. Kind of like a basketball rim needs a backstop.

[@carlosfernandez4641]

Such a cool interview, love it. Charlie is so funny man lol Mike has good people around himself

[@GunMagWarehouseTV]

Thanks for watching man I really appreciate it!

[@christophertodd4204]

Band of dudes who shoot guns and joke around…career goals. Absolutely enjoy the videos for sure. The addition of Micah and Charlie in a more visible constant role was an awesome move. If you ever come to TN would be awesome to meet y’all. Not in a stalker way.

[@countrytodd4614]

Damn, the Beatles broke up now, amd this time the Yoko was Tren and Fetlife 😢

[@TheSnisel]

yeah as soon as he said that, that was the first thing I thought of

[@jakedill1304]

The fact that Charlie cleans up so good when interacting with the public.. just makes him seem like more of a serial killer, but the goofy fun kind that your secretly rooting for! Like Ben Affleck in the accountant, or Ryan gosling in drive or Freddy Krueger in that one racing movie..

[@michaelbarbarisi7359]

Awesome video, I usually don't listen/watch podcasts. But I could listen to the three of you guys go back and forth all day long

[@GunMagWarehouseTV]

Awesome, thank you!

[@-sxott-]

The story about being noticed at Safeway, if you meant on Mothers day, and it was the Spanaway Safeway, that was me bro!! Glad to have made your dad proud. I was a bit 'starstruck' as odd as that may sound, but I was just watching the Unsub ep. with Mike and you, and then there you were!!

[@Davythecameraman]

Charlie is a physical representation of the real chaos that is inherent with shooting . A 'normal' range day can go many ways. Good, bad, or Charlie. #fkncharlie

[@triggercrysisjames142]

😂🤣😂 My wife actually thought Charlie was a "mentally challenged" guy that Mike Jones found on the street and put him on camera! 😂🤣😂 Thanks for hosting these guys and ruining the myth behind Charlie for me!😂🤣😂

[@MegadethTillDeth]

One of the best sit downs I've watched in awhile. Great stuff

[@KWietig]

You need another podcast like this with these two again. Episode was gold

[@NaTIVEBTK]

This is the best filmed episode of a podcast. more need to be in the woods.

[@maskedhobo]

I'm from Texas, and can confirm we have no public land to practice on, most the ranges won't let you shoot quick strings. My local range is better than most, but not great. Having land is a must if you want to not be bothered.

[@rustyshackleford4438]

Try to find a gun club. I'll drive over an hour to train practically.

[@jupiterjunk]

Charlie's humor keeps me going back to older videos. You know it's gold when everyone has that "I'm goin' to hell just for laughing at that." look on their face. The best... THE BEST... SDI piece is in the "How Deadly is a .22"

[@jefflayton5889]

Sadly due to having cancer and going threw a year of no income, but still needing a roof and food, i actually went threw the having to start my collection over problem last year. My first two guns i bought to start over were a M&P 2.0 with a holosun red dot and a 10/22 to build up. Other than that, thank you for the content, between Garand Thumb, and your channel Micah you guys helped me laugh when i needed to, plus its fun seeing content being made in my home state in areas i know very well.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Comments are weird. I can ignore 99.9% but every now and again it's weird comments that aren't always the same. It can be a late friday night after a hard day's work. Love these guys

[@IowasDirtyCivilian]

You guys hit the nail right on the head when it comes to training. Here in my part of Iowa, there is very little public land. Most of the land where I'm at is either corn fields or soybean fields. The largest plot of public land not far from me is about 230 acres. But is so over used, it's hard to shoot out there. The only other public land is about 45mins away from me and it's 2.3 acres. We don't even have free camping around here. It's all parks. So yeah, it sucks.

[@DM-cc1yt]

What about dnr land there is over 1000 acres in the nw region by me

[@FadedPilotNW]

Now this is a quality podcast 🤌

[@oldhickory3028]

This was awesome first time I’ve seen ur channel and I love it mainly clicked bc of micha and Charlie and it was cool to see them talk and be them in a long open form

[@FreeAmericanMan]

Charles needs to do a video on internet trolling

[@MelvinIsMerlin]

Herodotus talked about conquering nations by feminizing them and disarming them. Just a 2000 thousand-year-old book explaining the basics for subjugating people.

[@MelvinIsMerlin]

"To make sure of their never rebelling against thee, or alarming thee more, send and forbid them to keep any weapons of war, command them to wear tunics under their cloaks and to put buskins upon their legs, and make them bring up their sons to cithern-playing, harping, and shop-keeping. So wilt thou soon see them become women instead of men, and there will no more fear of their revolting from thee." -Herodotus, Histories 430 BC ( almost 2500 years ago) Had to type out the direct quote for any redneck history seekers.

[@lostbee8368]

So glad to see Charlie being himself

[@kylew7930]

No public land out here, is a great point! I 100% used to train way more when I had easy access to a national forest.

[@mil_spec_meats]

Great episode! Nice to see the real Charlie, makes the character he plays on Garand Thumb even better. No replacement for a good sense of humor and someone who can wield it like Charlie can. Micah is a smart dude, great with the camera, great with firearms but still has this child like energy and enthusiasm that you can’t help but share with him.

[@nospaces0db]

I live in the mountains of WV and it depends on what the dude has growing determines rather you want to run into them or not.

[@GunMagWarehouseTV]

I never even considered that lol

[@mortem-tyrannis]

@@GunMagWarehouseTV most mountain residence live there because they want privacy and live the way they want and will help you all they can, then there's the growers and the cookers you don't want to sneak up on them in the middle of nowhere. It's very very easy to make people disappear up here.

[@CleeTaurus]

One thing about the arkansas/Texans not training as much is, I own 80 acres out here in arkasas. I train all the time using all three of your guys videos and advice for methods. But I don't have to leave or go to a class, I call my buddies and set up a time and we train at least once a month. Or i go out by myself and train for a couple hours. And there are many more like me out here.

[@61fordf2504x4]

My local range goes out to 300 yards, once that became readily available 100 became so boring.

[@HaveltheThot]

Lol I feel better about my recognizing you guys at my work 😂. I work at a firearms manufacturer in Washington and you guys were touring the place and I nearly shit myself when I saw micah and charlie at my work. And yeah that superman thing does definitely work I almost didn't recognize charlie. If Micah wasn't there I probably wouldve missed him. I bet you guys were hella weirded out by me cause I was just staring at you guys the whole time you walked around me 😂. I couldn't help it I wanted to yell "hey charlie what does sdi stand for" 😂. Then ask Micah and see what he says lol.

[@strongcontendervideo8906]

That statement about AR having less training opportunities is the truth. I’ve got maybe 3 guys I know with any real interest in this sort of thing and nobody else. Tons of firearm culture, rights, respect, and safety though.

Also for buzzing ppl up in the apartments, some still use land lines because they are too cheap to update.

I live in Washington aswell. It would be an absolute dream come true to bump into Micah and Charlie and Mike😭 Idk if mike still lives in Washington, but I feel a bit safer knowing I have Charlie close by with his tactical rake.

[@NewBeginnings224]

So about the training, I'd never taken an actual class until I was 23 for a CCW, but when I was like 13 or 14 my family taught me gun safety and the RSOs were really decent and not full of it like they are now. So maybe you don't see full training classes in southern states like Texas, but I guarantee family members train them themselves. I was target shooting that young but never had an actual course that the range provided with a fee, so maybe that's more the culture of these states

[@dkmgm2011]

Awesome stuff.

[@jdmznet]

I think Michael has an great sense of humor, has good timing, and is very funny on his own. But he is an awesome straight man. Micah and Charlie are both hilarious and in combination with Michael they multiply the fun.

[@yankeehunter3466]

so true about the less people know the easier it is to fear. I started hunting as an adult, went out my fist morning and everything was scary in the dark coyote packs barking and screaming in the tree line etc. now 3 years later I am screaming at black bears and staring down coyotes from 5 yards hoping it makes a move so I can have a new hoodie.

[@oscarbear7498]

Very true!! It's the same with traveling. People who don't tell you it's a dangerous world, it's not safe. You go out and travel it's the safest thing ever. I'm from a border town that was pretty much nothing but drug/human trafficking and murder. Yet....People here don't like to travel 😂😂😂 the most dangerous place and people rather stay than go travel

I was confused between Charlie and Micah for a few weeks when I first started watching GT

[@heavyjmertes197]

The window of weather for training is much smaller in the Midwest. It's much hotter in the summer and colder in the winter. On the west coast, the weather is not as extreme. Also, a lot of us are blessed with our own ranges or friends that have farmland to shoot on. Chris, Honest Outlaw, for example, his biggest complaint is always weather, too damn hot or cold.

[@Gothic1Actual]

Was this filmed before the Idaho move. Great podcast!

[@GunMagWarehouseTV]

Yep a few weeks ago!

[@specialperson170]

Yeah here in Arkansas is very hard to find trainjng courses because everyone thinks they know everything about guns because we grew up with them i wish i could do a rifle and pistol course because i know i could improve alot
