great video.. loved the part about not having cheat days.. I am 50 I ride every day rain or sun. I dont eat between meals and never after 20:00. I at 6foot1 I weigh 78Kgs.. the exact same weight as when I was racing at 23. When I was 22 I was heavier and I was having my butt kicked off at every race...really hard..So over that winter I went out ever night in the north of England in the rain the snow, the fog..after evening meal of rice boiled chicken and veg. I came back in that spring and in the very first race rode 25 miles in 57 mins.. I never looked back.. now I ride for fun with the MTB and with the kids... I'm dont want to sound like I am blowing my own trumpet but I pride myself that I am one of the fittest in the street... the other day the neighbors were comparing beer guts..... I could only shake my head...
@@ShutUpandRideMTB Hi thanks a lot...I just been out now actually in the rain for an hour... bike was full of "you know what" ... I wear glasses and the were full of mud too...I looked a right sight when I got back. Good job the wife understands. :)
Very inspirational TomTom. Thanks. I’m also 6’1” and have lost 3.6 kg to get down to 87 kg during COVID-19. I started riding an old, used mountain bike when the local trails and bike paths re-opened. Hadn’t ridden for 40 years. I’m 64. My original goal was to loose 4.5 kg. After your story and the original post I think I’ll increase my weight loss goal to 10 kg.
@@steveg.3022 Hi Steve well done. Great to head that you are also making good progress. Keep going :) I am still riding every day and I feel great. Got to add that to all the riding I need some extra "fuel" between meals but I have kept it super healthy. Lots of fruit , whole grains + I drink quite a bit of raw milk from the local farm. etc..Otherwise I probably would fall through a crack in the pavement lol..
This is pretty cool. I lost 55 pounds a few years ago doing exactly this. Change the diet, and ride my bike. I went from dying, out of breath after a quarter mile, to doing 24 miles and not really being that tired or sore. It only took a few months to get to that. Good stuff.
Agreed. Slowly working my way back to a healthier weight and before 6 to 9 miles was an average ride. Now mid teens is becoming the new average. He's right as you get lighter it'll get easier and more fun. Ride safe!
Man, just wanna thank you for making this video. I’m 27 and used to race competitively in my teens when I weighed 178. Quit racing and gained almost 70 pounds. Two months ago I got absolutely disgusted with myself and decided that I’m getting back into racing. Went to UA-cam to motivation and found this, and it’s been great.. two months in and I’m down 26 pounds. About 40 more to go, but I’m doing great. Every time I start to lose motivation I watch this again, because I love your no nonsense, sympathy free attitude.
This video really resonated with me and is so true!! In my late teens and early twenties I raced every week and was super fit, then life got in the way and I got my late thirties and got stuck in a rut. Fast forward to forty and I've lost nearly 30kg (sorry, I do metric) by riding my mountain bike and eating better, it really is a win win. Great vid mate, really felt motivated by it 🤘🏻
Great story, very similar to mine. I'll be 60 years old this month. I started mountain biking 7 months ago. I didn't crazy diet but I watched what I ate, and I rode my bike every chance I had. No scenic tours, I pushed myself to get better every time I went out. I lost 30 pounds in the first 3 to 4 months. Makes you wonder... I love fire roads and singletrack, being out in nature, and I'm loosing weight at the same time... why did I wait so long.
As soon as I saw the title, I knew this vid would do well, then I actually watched it and was blindsided by how much it resonated with me. I actually lost over 40lb a few years back thanks to a combination of mountain biking and running. But since then it's slowly come back on and I'm almost back to my old weight again - thanks to snacking mostly, and choosing the easy option at dinner time. Diet coke was your big soda, for me it's Pepsi Max and funnily enough I've given it up this week - like you I was drinking a couple of large bottles of the stuff every 2-3 days and whilst it is sugar free, it sure doesn't make you feel any less hungry! You've inspired me with this very laid back and relaxed monologue, and I saw on reddit that it's working for others too. Great video man, really appreciated this one.
I'm in the same boat. Got fit and slowly lost it. Now I know about "set point." Once you reach that "goal" you have to maintain it for at least five years experts say before it becomes your new norm. Getting fit isn't about 6 months or a year it's for the long haul. 🍀
Thanks for this! I sent this to my father. Hoping he gets on that mtb I bought him for Christmas a little more often. I found a lot of parallels with your story. His son ( me ) is an RN and have had the same conversation with him many times. He doesn’t drink diet soda, but he does drink “light beer”. I’m also guessing you’re a Texan. If you are, so are we, although I now live in WI. I wish I was closer so I could ride with him and keep him on the bike a little more. Again thanks for the vid. I’m making my dad watch it.
Thanks Rolando, I'm pinning this comment. No, thank you for your insight, and choosing a profession that helps people. If you, or your old man are ever in Arizona, hit me up, I'd love to ride with you guys. Cheers!
Nice work! Just remember to have a bike fun.day where you.just ride for fun, not full gas, not for a goal.just for the fun.if riding a bike. I like training for events but I love bike travelling just for travelling and sightseeing. I think so many of us lose sight of the diversity and pure fun of cycling
Awesome video! I suffered a major heart attack and under went emergency open heart surgery at the beginning of the covid -19 pandemic. I wasn't allowed into cardiac rehab due to the pandemic so I decided to do my own rehab. I started riding a mountain bike that I literally had pulled out of a dumpster last year. One year ago I could not ride that bike more than one mile without stopping and gasping for breath. Well I started riding in May( 3 months after my triple bypass surgery), and I haven't looked back. I now ride 15 miles every morning when I wake up and I'm feeling great. I'm 57 years old, I've lost 33 lbs and my plan is to lose 22 more to get me down to 170 lbs. I get a subtle remain reminder every morning when I see the 15" scar on my chest when I look in the mirror. Other than rehabbing, I didn't really have a goal. Now I want to push myself to get in the best physical shape i can. It feels awesome. I feel great. Your video was very inspiring for me. Thank You for sharing.
@@ShutUpandRideMTB I wanted to let you know that I had my 6 month post surgery checkup with my cardiologist today. He told me that they were ready for me to do cardio rehab. I told him I was doing my own rehab on my mountain bike. He proceeded to look at my weight loss and blood work and said just keep doing what I'm doing and he will see me in 6 months. What a great feeling. Thanks again for the videos. They are great inspiration!
Can confirm, ever since I started bike riding my fat percentage is FINALLY going down. I'm eating properly for a year now or so -- but I couldn't get below 20% body fat, but now it's finally going down with the help of cardio (bike riding).
I got into MTB'ing for the fun factor -- my weight has never been a problem(140 lbs), but over the past couple of years I've come to realize that biking does more than just maintain/reduce body weight -- there's a whole laundry list of health improvements. The cardio gets your heart pumping, keeping it strong and reducing the risk of heart failure. Increased heart rate keeps blood pumping through your arteries, reducing the risk of blockages, stroke, & heart attack. Heavy breathing keeps fresh air circulating into your lungs. Drinking water and/or Gatorade during rides keeps your system flushed out. Gatorade in particular, has citric acid in it which prevents kidney stones from forming. The vibration from the ride also keeps them from forming. There's also a wealth of mental benefits -- your coordination, balance, reaction time, focus, etc all improve. Being outdoors, along with the exercise boosts your immune system. Mountain biking and/or road biking is highly recommended by doctors as a form of exercise. The best part is, it's FUN! I've never been on a ride where it felt like a "workout" -- I was having too much fun to think about that.
Wow! Thank you. I need to hear this. This is me to a t. Your mom is so right. I’ve watched this video three times now. I’m hoping this gives me the motivation to get back into shape. Mainly to beat my MTB buddies to the top of our climbs. Thank you.
Just pulled down my bike for the first time in a few years. Cobwebs everywhere. Been a rough go for a while. But my 13 year old Kona will have to do. I sick of feeling how I do. Sick of feeling powerless to hypertension. My genes suck and now at 41 I’m terrified I waited too long. But this video, well, kicked my ass. Thanks.
I like mountain biking better than road riding, as I fear the passing cars that are waaay too close. I don't know if I've lost weight yet, but I do feel much better and I can't wait for the next ride. See you on a trail someday!
Keeping a cycling log helped me lose weight. Reason I did it is because I'd feel like i was getting weaker but when I logged my rides I was actually getting stronger which encouraged me to continue on.
This is dead on man. I’ve been on my loss journey for about four months. I’m down about 25 lbs and am mountain biking near daily now. A 5 mile ride used to do me in. Now I can go about 20. I needed something sustainable, and this is something that I actually enjoy doing. But it’s that simple: log the calories, ride the bike lol.
I actually gained weight when I started mountain biking. The more active I am, the more insatiably hungry I get. I still bike once a week, but I had to start strength training as my main activty to control my appetite.
MTB changed my life .. at 48 I was 240lbs and my only activity was golf .. now I’m 50 ride 3 days a week and stay between 200 and 205 . Excellent advice .. I always end my channel videos with get off the cough .. get out and ride 🤘 thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your perspective. I've lost weight before but I'd lost my motivation. I'm going to try again because as you said it's a choice and I choose to be healthy. Mountain Bike Advice and Life advice, they can work together.
Thanks for this! I am starting out and learning to mountain bike....way overweight and older!! Your inspirational!!! Good job! Hopefully in six months down the line I will have great success to show on my channel....success on the scales AND fabulous progression with my skills!!!
Great inspiration! Sustainability is such an important factor in not putting your body through the yo-yo. Thanks for posting your journey and encouraging others in good health and enjoying life. Cheers!
Just subbed very uplifting. Thank you torn between a road bike or MTB. I went from 310 to currently 250, and thats because I start eating right. But I plateuaed, I need to excersise. surprisingly cardio at the local ymca is great, but I want the outdoors. Just gotta figure out which bike. I guess thats a good decision. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Thank you again
At any time we win and I really mean truly realize success, when ever we prevail over we become more powerful as humans, we drive into an exciting new phase and we could improve. This modification no matter what it could be and for whatever reason, is exactly what makes you more forceful as a person. Embrace the improvement and therefore let’s along side each other try to make 2018 the most beneficial year of our lifetimes!
Inspiring. I don’t eat badly but cycling means I can enjoy what I want, it’s a great trade off. Found your channel trying to understand why my associates frown upon my EBikes. (Don’t count video). Didn’t learn why, but I leant to care about it less. Thank you.
I plan to cycle everyday a specific route that is around 9 miles for 30 days. Currently just finished day 4 and I'm feeling motivated as hell. I wanna lose around 12 more lbs and by god I will do it. I cut out all snacks, fattening foods, fastfood/takeaways & full sugar drinks. Wish me luck!
Mate, this video is spot on! I'm all for just telling it like it is and this just does that. First vid of yours i've watched and a great start. Thumbs up given.
This was the best short video I’ve watched in a long time. Straight to the point, no excuses and genuine. I ride all the time but even with that , this inspired me more. Your video said we could ask what app you used. Can you share? Thanks
Congrats on the 30 in 3! Such a great idea for a video, that real MTB Advice! You nailed the cheat day, the biggest slip up for anybody trying to reach their goals!
I'm in the same boat. Need to lose weight, I'm 52, and tired of being tired. My wife and I ordered bikes about a month ago. Hers should be here in October and mine in November.
I am absolutely with you on the daily weighing. My process has been less extreme than yours - a daily walk - only 45 minutes to an hour - and the result has been proportionally less but the principle has been the same. With daily weighing and tracking the data you can see the trends very quickly. I can easily relate slight dips in weight to increased physical activity. It's all about habit and routine for me. Balancing calories in and calories out and tracking the progress. I use the more traditional process of graph paper and a pen - tracking weight, walking and cycling on the same chart. Apps are fine too. So are simple spread sheets. There is a saying that "Whatever gets measured gets delivered". You can not track your weight if you do not measure it and plot it out in some way.
@@ShutUpandRideMTB Cool, didn't even know there were different colors besides regular candle color. Just want to see if it meets the hype that so many are giving it. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for your videos . Just purchased my first adult MTB . I say adult because I'm 39 now and I've not been on one since my teens . Currently I'm sitting at 94kgs and want to get between 75 to 80 . Looking round UA-cam for that secret plan but I guess all I need to do it just get out there . How are you tracking your rides for Strava .
@@ShutUpandRideMTB Hi Bud . lose it app is great. Is it really just as simple as do not blow all your daily cal allowance??? that said using the app I realize just how much and how easy it is to overeat one self....
The diet colas keep you hydrated cause your getting water in and you need a lot of water to build muscle. Also cheat days are not bad if you don’t over eat. But yea 20 diet colas a day is over excessive. Cheat days can also help boost metabolism which will over time help you loose weight if done righ
I’m a Orr truck driver and I’m think of getting a mountain bike to ride twice a day to help loose weight and get into shape along with some weights that I got now and other stuff I’m 32 and want to get back in shape like I was b4. So do you have any tips in diet and riding tips
Ok thanks I’ll get it and focus on the riding and other cardio workout more then the weights I just had them for a while and used to use them b4 I put the weight on lol but I need to loose bout 80lbs to be at my ideal weight to look good again ik it a long road like what some good things to eat that you recommend
Hi Tim Im also an OTR trucker. I lost 50 lbs in one year, biking, power walking, doing pushups against shipper and receivers counters and cement barriers, 40 criss cross toe touches at every piss and picture stop. My breakfast consisted of two hard boiled eggs and a small can of V8 juice. Snacks are celery sticks, jerky and apples. If I eat a hamburger I ditch the bun and ask for a lettuce wrap, replace the fries with coleslaw or nothing at all. I mix chia seeds with damn near everything. An additional app to download is Alltrails. I find the coolest places to bike, or walk near practically every truckstop. Good luck and enjoy trucking as I feel trucking is actually more weight loss and fitness friendly than any office job. Salute! P.S. Always dress for excercise,, hot weather, cold and everything inbetween. Those synthetic athletic shorts and biking padded shorts are easy to wash in the shower and dry over night.
How long should I ride a day please tell me im 30years old and pushing 270 I gotta get back on track I went into depression when me and my wife had are son he had to get 3 open heart surgery with in 5 months wen he was born. I'm glad and thankful to say my little boy is doing just fine now better then fine so its time for dad to get back what I lost. Any information will help me im ready to ride always loved it. Thank u.
What app did you use? I'm on this journey right now. I ordered my bike, because of the 2020 shortage i couldnt just go to the shop and get one. I want to ride now. Not later and its driving me nuts.
Dudr .. loosing 30lbs in 3 months mountain biking is a snap yo!. ( actually I am still in a 3 month effort to loose 30 in 3 and its been a long Einstein like enigma ) but I have actually lost 23 and have a week and a half to go.
great video.. loved the part about not having cheat days.. I am 50 I ride every day rain or sun. I dont eat between meals and never after 20:00. I at 6foot1 I weigh 78Kgs.. the exact same weight as when I was racing at 23. When I was 22 I was heavier and I was having my butt kicked off at every race...really hard..So over that winter I went out ever night in the north of England in the rain the snow, the fog..after evening meal of rice boiled chicken and veg. I came back in that spring and in the very first race rode 25 miles in 57 mins.. I never looked back.. now I ride for fun with the MTB and with the kids... I'm dont want to sound like I am blowing my own trumpet but I pride myself that I am one of the fittest in the street... the other day the neighbors were comparing beer guts..... I could only shake my head...

Just subbed very uplifting. Thank you torn between a road bike or MTB. I went from 310 to currently 250, and thats because I start eating right. But I plateuaed, I need to excersise. surprisingly cardio at the local ymca is great, but I want the outdoors. Just gotta figure out which bike. I guess thats a good decision. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Thank you again
....Sick and tired of being sick and tired....Nicely stated, good luck on your journey, hope to see you out here someday, cheers!
At any time we win and I really mean truly realize success, when ever we prevail over we become more powerful as humans, we drive into an exciting new phase and we could improve. This modification no matter what it could be and for whatever reason, is exactly what makes you more forceful as a person. Embrace the improvement and therefore let’s along side each other try to make 2018 the most beneficial year of our lifetimes!
Thanks Deanne, this is so well said and powerful that I need to pin this comment for everyone else's benefit.
MTB for life, I like it. By the way 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram, see how easy that is :P
I don't forget what my mum told me "A pint is a pound the world around" Think about that next time you're in the Pub
Inspiring. I don’t eat badly but cycling means I can enjoy what I want, it’s a great trade off.
Found your channel trying to understand why my associates frown upon my EBikes. (Don’t count video). Didn’t learn why, but I leant to care about it less. Thank you.
I plan to cycle everyday a specific route that is around 9 miles for 30 days. Currently just finished day 4 and I'm feeling motivated as hell. I wanna lose around 12 more lbs and by god I will do it. I cut out all snacks, fattening foods, fastfood/takeaways & full sugar drinks. Wish me luck!
Who's awesome? You are! Nice!
@@ShutUpandRideMTB Thank you sir, as are you! Thank you for the additional inspiration
Mate, this video is spot on! I'm all for just telling it like it is and this just does that. First vid of yours i've watched and a great start. Thumbs up given.
This was the best short video I’ve watched in a long time. Straight to the point, no excuses and genuine. I ride all the time but even with that , this inspired me more. Your video said we could ask what app you used. Can you share? Thanks
This helped me . And you just made me commit ! Thank you !
That's awesome Hugo, best of luck on your journey.
Congrats on the 30 in 3! Such a great idea for a video, that real MTB Advice! You nailed the cheat day, the biggest slip up for anybody trying to reach their goals!
Thanks very much. Keep up the great work on your channel as well, cheers!
You talk absolute sense, refreshing to listen to simple common sense for a change
I'm in the same boat. Need to lose weight, I'm 52, and tired of being tired. My wife and I ordered bikes about a month ago. Hers should be here in October and mine in November.
Best of luck, cheers!
Riding my Fat Bike. ❤️ this bike. Good words. Thank You.
Thanks Imtada, cheers!
Thanks Mom, I needed that too
Great rant and video, loved it!!!
Great video! This video really help me feel much more confident that I too can lose weight. Thanks!
That's awesome Tyson, you can do this, cheers!
I am absolutely with you on the daily weighing. My process has been less extreme than yours - a daily walk - only 45 minutes to an hour - and the result has been proportionally less but the principle has been the same. With daily weighing and tracking the data you can see the trends very quickly. I can easily relate slight dips in weight to increased physical activity. It's all about habit and routine for me. Balancing calories in and calories out and tracking the progress. I use the more traditional process of graph paper and a pen - tracking weight, walking and cycling on the same chart. Apps are fine too. So are simple spread sheets. There is a saying that "Whatever gets measured gets delivered". You can not track your weight if you do not measure it and plot it out in some way.
You're an inspiration! Congratulations!!
Thanks. Cheers!
Great tips and I lube the chain almost before every ride as well. Seriously considering switching to wax on the next chain.
I have seen different color chain wax, not sure I'm ready for that. Cheers Arthur!
@@ShutUpandRideMTB Cool, didn't even know there were different colors besides regular candle color. Just want to see if it meets the hype that so many are giving it. Cheers 🍻
I absolutely love this video !! It gave me the wisdom I needed to hear and made me realize effort is between you and you. Thank you sir.
You are so welcome! Cheers!
really nice video man! thanks
I just started biking a month ago and it’s become an addiction and this video .... thank you so much 🙏🏾
Glad you like it Shelby, cheers!
Honest guy!!!
Thanks Danzo, cheers!
Hey man. Loved the video. Very inspiring. I need to start this journey. Which app did you use? Are you on Instagram? Happy holidays.
I used an app called Lose-It and I am shutupandridemtb on IG, cheers!
What app did ya use? Great video, congrats on achieving your goal!
I used Lose-It as the app, cheers Brandon!
Great video; thank you. Please elaborate on the part about diet soda. Appreciate it.
No such thing just knock it out you don’t need that sugary crap in your body 👍🇬🇧
This totally speaks to me. Thanks.
Thanks for the visit Scott, cheers!
Just found your video, great motivation for me. Thanks
I agree with everything you’re saying, but throwing in a cheat meal (one meal, not the entire day) once per week is perfectly fine imo.
That's fair Matthew, everything in moderation. Cheers!
Great video!!
Great message and vid, you have the perfect narrating voice👌
Thanks very much!
Thanks for your videos . Just purchased my first adult MTB . I say adult because I'm 39 now and I've not been on one since my teens . Currently I'm sitting at 94kgs and want to get between 75 to 80 . Looking round UA-cam for that secret plan but I guess all I need to do it just get out there . How are you tracking your rides for Strava .
Good morning sir thank you for your honesty and most of all we thank God for your mom and her honesty God bless you both ready to ride
amazing,thanks so much for this !
You bet! Cheers!

MATE..........this is soooooo true Im subbed :) thanks for the info.
Thank you Selwin. I use the app Lose-It, it works. Cheers my friend.
@@ShutUpandRideMTB Hi Bud . lose it app is great. Is it really just as simple as do not blow all your daily cal allowance??? that said using the app I realize just how much and how easy it is to overeat one self....
Nice mate!
Thanks Bertie, always appreciate your visits, cheers!
Just now came across this video and this is me. What app did you use?
Yah that nails it, I must make a choice on that
Better than a stationary Pelaton, cheers!
The diet colas keep you hydrated cause your getting water in and you need a lot of water to build muscle. Also cheat days are not bad if you don’t over eat. But yea 20 diet colas a day is over excessive. Cheat days can also help boost metabolism which will over time help you loose weight if done righ
Thanks, cheers!
I’m a Orr truck driver and I’m think of getting a mountain bike to ride twice a day to help loose weight and get into shape along with some weights that I got now and other stuff I’m 32 and want to get back in shape like I was b4. So do you have any tips in diet and riding tips
my advice: forget the weights for now. get an app called Lose-It and track your calories. never cheat. good luck friend, cheers!
Ok thanks I’ll get it and focus on the riding and other cardio workout more then the weights I just had them for a while and used to use them b4 I put the weight on lol but I need to loose bout 80lbs to be at my ideal weight to look good again ik it a long road like what some good things to eat that you recommend
Good luck friend
Hi Tim
Im also an OTR trucker.
I lost 50 lbs in one year, biking, power walking, doing pushups against shipper and receivers counters and cement barriers, 40 criss cross toe touches at every piss and picture stop.
My breakfast consisted of two hard boiled eggs and a small can of V8 juice.
Snacks are celery sticks, jerky and apples.
If I eat a hamburger I ditch the bun and ask for a lettuce wrap, replace the fries with coleslaw or nothing at all.
I mix chia seeds with damn near everything.
An additional app to download is Alltrails.
I find the coolest places to bike, or walk near practically every truckstop.
Good luck and enjoy trucking as I feel trucking is actually more weight loss and fitness friendly than any office job.
Salute!
P.S.
Always dress for excercise,, hot weather, cold and everything inbetween.
Those synthetic athletic shorts and biking padded shorts are easy to wash in the shower and dry over night.
Can you make a how video on how you do a quick clean and lube of your cassette, sprockets and chain? Please?
I'll do it..
How long should I ride a day please tell me im 30years old and pushing 270 I gotta get back on track I went into depression when me and my wife had are son he had to get 3 open heart surgery with in 5 months wen he was born. I'm glad and thankful to say my little boy is doing just fine now better then fine so its time for dad to get back what I lost. Any information will help me im ready to ride always loved it. Thank u.
Stop making excuses, this is your journey. Cheers!
I ride 4 to 5 times a week and riding a lot made me eat a lot and I still lost a lot of weight.
Nice job Carlos, cheers!
What app did you use? I'm on this journey right now. I ordered my bike, because of the 2020 shortage i couldnt just go to the shop and get one. I want to ride now. Not later and its driving me nuts.
Lose-It. Cheers!
Well done
I think you may have the best username in all of UA-cam, cheers!
Inspiring !!!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it, cheers!
Hey man this is inspiring! is there anywhere I can contact you to ask some questions?
Sure, my email is on the channel, cheers Zubz!
Shut Up and Ride MTB & EMTB Apologies, I cant find it
Dudr .. loosing 30lbs in 3 months mountain biking is a snap yo!. ( actually I am still in a 3 month effort to loose 30 in 3 and its been a long Einstein like enigma ) but I have actually lost 23 and have a week and a half to go.
Did you make your goal? What was your average time on bike/day?
"Someone told me about this other concept. a cheat day *tuh*. Maybe Saturday, eat whatever you want. Give yourself a break. That's bullsh*t"
Awsome weight loss take care of yourself
Thanks Garfit, I appreciate that, cheers!
You can have a cheat meal, just skip something else. But if you eat right 99% of time you wont go crazy.
That's fair, cheers!
Do you lube your chain and pump your tires before every ride?
...almost every time.
Down 40 lbs.
Could’ve lost 20 more but didn’t fully change my diet.
Which app did you use ? Did you not feel bonking during eating less ?
Were you a ghost writer for Coen brothers?
Yes. Cheers!
What app did you use?
Soooo what app did you use?
