Vroom, vroom, welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys.
I am your host Brian and in my sidecar Chris James hi Chris I
thought that would be insulting to you that I would be in the sidecar hey look
yeah right in my sidecar you know what I say better in the sidecar than in the
trunk while everybody else drives in the car that's a reference by the way our
guest doesn't know that's a Brian Claimed to be the leader of his gang when he was I was first of all not a gang and
Said that I was jockeying for position of leader with another guy our guess
And then it turns out that he's like he would ride in the trunk when they had to go somewhere and it just every single
detail flies in the face of him having any leadership qualities whatsoever tons of them of them. And our guest this week is Dan Lippert. Hi, Dan.
Hey, guys.
Oh, wow.
I could have been a member of a gang. Fine. I make a great leader fashion-wise. You know
what I mean? Everybody kind of needed my help getting dressed, wearing cool clothes and stuff
like that.
And music, I found all the music.
He was a stylist.
Definitely interesting to lead from behind.
Hop in the trunk, let him know.
Well, the trunk thing was one time,
and it was because we had to get out of a place really quick
and there wasn't enough room in the car.
Yeah, but there was enough room in the car for other guys.
Anyways, it doesn't really matter. All't really matter. Yeah, this week we're doing motorcycle guys.
Now I originally was going to do Harley guys. So there is like a lot of Harley content here,
but I found a guy that I absolutely want to use on the show. Yeah, you texted me about
this guy this morning. That's when I know it's like on the show. Yeah, you texted me about this guy this morning
That's what I know. It's like you're really excited when you send me a text
Yeah, I think he's a British guy
and he he went on a ride with his friends he I
Want to start by getting this guy running because it's gonna uh, Dan
I have a question for you just while he sort of fiddles around on the computer.
Have you ever rode a motorcycle before?
Not in my memory.
I had a, I would call him relatively estranged half brother
who was significantly older from my dad's marriage
and he was a Harley guy.
And I think before I can remember,
he took me on the Harley once and my mom got really mad.
Oh yeah, because you were a baby.
You were an actual baby.
Yeah, I was like three or four, yeah.
And it's known to be dangerous even for adults.
So I would imagine for babies even more dangerous.
Yeah.
My dad had one for a period of time and I don't,
I vaguely remember being either right
before kindergarten or in kindergarten he put me on the back and drove me
around a little bit and then I also had a friend named Sean who was very into
motorcycles even like drag raced motorcycles like yeah like this and I
went for a ride with him one time too, once or twice. Like you rode it, like you held up, you held onto his body or whatever.
You have to do that, but we did it in a very like hands on the sides way.
I'd imagine you guys were extremely homophobic at the time, right?
So you were probably making sure that everybody knew that this was not, and this was porno
Sean we're talking about.
Yeah.
Yeah. I actually went looking
I found out he's won a few drag racing competitions recently. So he called him porno Sean
I thought you're gonna say a few avian awards
That was how he was hoping his life was gonna turn out dead he yeah
He he started a porno like he was he was
Gathering pornos as a young man to try to like
start a porno shop or so he said yeah so that was an underserved area yeah he was
yeah he was like that guy he was an entrepreneur yeah mm-hmm so let's check
this guy out we'll just get him started here he is a British guy so the first video is like with me mates driving from France to
Spain yeah and then the second video is I won't tour with friends again part two
of two and this guy what I'll just start him out here Well, it's all gone. Oh shit.
Oh no.
That's got to be the best way to put it.
That's a cameraman.
On the border of Spain, we are miles from home.
I think it's probably about a thousand miles from home. And while we're getting something to eat last night.
Uh oh.
He's putting his bag back on.
The boys that I'm touring with dropped the bombshell that they don't fancy riding home in two days. They want it to last longer and
they want it to take longer. And I can't afford that because I've got commitments. I've got
work commitments. I've got childcare commitments. So That's just not an option for me. I've got to be back in two days. So this is this is a nice
So this is like a motorcycle guys worst nightmare
Because like the whole idea right it everywhere yet and being a motorcycle guy the whole thing about it
I'm not a motorcycle guy, but I understand the whole thing is like you're out in the freedom of it, right?
You got the wind blowing in your face and you're just out on the open road. No worries
You're sort of a rolling stone and this guy in the middle of all of that
He gets brought right back down to reality saying like oh, I actually am not free at all
I have all of these responsibilities that I now can't go on this trip. This is
By the way to pose right now. He's standing in front of his bike
on this trip. This is by the way, to pose right now. He's standing in front of his bike with this, with his hands on his hips, looking at the camera and it's a really funny image.
He is really not happy. And, and like, that's the thing, right? So the other guys are living
that real born free lifestyle. You know what I mean? They were like, Oh, we, we actually
wouldn't mind just keeping driving our motorcycles
Yeah, and you're and you're and they're bikers. They're like listen. I don't know what the probably a lot of them are retired
He looks like he's a bit older
so maybe a lot of them are retired from work perhaps or they have like different kinds of jobs because I
Don't know. I don't think they're unless you're like an outlaw motorcycle guy
You do have to be able to be able to earn money somehow
So I guess maybe they're,
like these guys were just out on the open road all the time.
How do they do that?
I'm a little shocked that this biker gang
doesn't have a more thorough email chain
where they kind of sort these plans out
before they hit the road.
Well, see, that's the thing though,
is they probably got the emails going,
but then a couple of those guys they felt the wind
You know and they're like, I don't really want to go back to my wife and child or whatever is back there
I just want to maybe not inspector. Maybe they're like me. I don't have to get home anytime
My daughter's 20 if I was out on the open road
I could keep going if I wanted to I'd have my old lady with me That's what motorcycle guys call their wife
Yeah, if you have your old lady with you then of course you can just ride it out
But you you if your old lady wasn't with you you would have to go home to see her obviously
Before we go back to this guy, let's learn a little bit from our slash Harley
This guy goes starting to feel like Harley culture
and group rides are overrated.
So this mixes perfectly with this guy.
Just wanted to share some thoughts that have been building
up after years in the scene.
I've been riding for a while.
I'm actually part of a motorcycle club
and have done plenty of group rides, bike nights,
and meetups.
Lately though, I've been losing interest in the whole scene and I'm starting to think a lot is of it is more toxic and overhyped
Then people want to admit now. I want to
Quickly say someone got made fun of at the bike meeting
That's such a classic click, you know, these guys are actually super toxic
You know, these guys are actually super toxic
They made him feel bad about something too many pads they don't like they make
Too many pads they're on your ass
You're showing up to the biker thing with full path
And they're so they also hills he'll say a little more but he goes
Too many people treating meetups like a vibe check you roll in and instead of good energy or mutual respect It's all side eyes and quiet judgment like everyone's auditioning. Okay. I'm actually I'm actually right here
I think like I was kind of joking but it does seem like
He went in there and he was just people were sort of like what the fuck is this guy like?
I don't know if he's wearing something stupid if he looks stupid, but it sounds like people are judging him heavily when he went in there
He pulled up in his dork bike like it's just a bike for dorks. It's like well known
He's like they're all side eyeing me. I'm driving this bike. You know?
I'm just a Vespa.
Yeah.
Oh, believe me, a little later on we're going to talk a lot about the difference between
a scooter and a motorcycle.
I mean, I was, yeah, I was driving my Vespa and I had my oversized full face helmet on
the whole time. I'm not really sure what the issue was.
It's not about the ride anymore.
It's about who looks the hardest, who's wearing what patch, whose bike is the fastest, and
who's got the loudest pipes in the lot.
Okay, one of those doesn't, I feel like isn't really in, because one of them, who's, what
patch do you have?
So now we're talking about biker gangs?
No.
Because that's a, is that a different type of patch I'm talking about?
Because like, I know in motorcycle terms terms to say somebody is a full patch
Member is like the way of referring to somebody having their the the patch on the back. They actually have that
It's like significant of something, but this is like just the ones that you put on yourself
Well, okay. I'll tell you what I came to understand
There are motorcycle clubs
That are called the one percenters. Yeah, those are the gangs. They are not registered with the American Motorcycle Association,
but there are also motorcycle clubs that are registered with the American Motorcycle Association.
They're not outlaws. They just, you know, they put a patch on, they drive there's a there's a difference and now I can't remember people who are
listening probably know there is a difference like there's like a bottom
rocker there's something that signifies three piece back is a one percenter
right is three yeah three pieces on the but which is so stupid like yeah it
really is good it's really funny I mean hey we don't want to be making fun of
the Hells Angels heavily on the okay, but
But yeah, it is kind of a silly thing
you know and they even have it like you get the one patch and then you have to like you're a hang around and
Then you become an associate you get the second patch and then you become a full patch member and you get the third patch
So it really is like a like a kind of a club house, a kids club host thing.
Group right. Oh, go ahead, Dan.
Oh, you wanted to make fun of the Hells Angels as well.
No, I just wanted to come out firmly neutral on the Hells Angels
and any biker gangs that roll through the California area.
Oh, yeah. There's hell. There's a lot there.
Yeah, the Hells Angels are very active and they're also very active where I live in Vancouver
I don't know if they're super active where Brian is. I'd love to see him come and get me
Obviously they're not going to you know, I know but it still is like it still seems dumb
So some Hells Angel is in his clubhouse they're listening
to guys and he is like I'm getting that son of a bitch.
We'll see the concept of them just being a guy's listener a Hells Angels member that's
kind of silly to me but the idea of them scouring the internet looking for podcast episodes
discussing motorcycle guys and finding this episode that actually could happen I feel
that's not gonna happen. There was a biker house
I know it's not gonna happen. There was like a biker house where I grew up, right? Yeah, and I used to always tell my friends
Why don't we go there?
Okay, what do you like in what context cuz I figured there were drugs there and I thought like it drugs to get drugs a party with them. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, you're like I you just you're not supposed to do they like they always had to explain to me
Like you can't just go knocking on the door of the motorcycle house
I mean in the box of a great leadership on your end there people explain to you what your ideas are wrong every time. I wanted to go there so bad. I wanted to go to that motorcycle house so bad. How old were
you? Yeah. 16, 17. And what was your style at the time?
Oh, his name was Quiber. He literally went by the name quiver, and he was like I mean these guys were huffing gas
They were like full-on like drug like but like they had assault people randomly on the street
They were like assault anybody he grew up in a place called Grove, Fort Ohio
And it is in his stories. It just sounds like I, he was an absolute fucking nuisance.
I think we were a menace. I will say that. I always say there was this one guy, Nate, who was a friend of ours. Right.
And he was like, uh, asked his mom, I'm going to go hang out at, at Brian's.
She's like, where is he?
He probably said Kweeber.
Well, he said Brian to his mom. Okay. Some people's moms called me Kweeber.
Yeah. A lot of them all them Cleaver and he said we're gonna go
We're gonna go over there to Brian's house and she said where's that?
I know he's like right by Asbury Elementary and she's like, well, there's a ton of crime over there. You need to be careful
Yeah, and I never thought about it until I got a little older and was like, oh, we're the crime
That was that that's why I cuz I was like there's no crime over here. Yeah, that's a crime.
Yeah. The crime statistics were picking up. Brian and his friends, they were making an
impact on the on the statistical crime. People knew that that side of the neighborhood was
supposedly dangerous as again, I never found it to be very dangerous, you know.
For you, but for people around you.
Because yeah, the people who,
anybody who dared cross you or your friends
has a different story.
Creeper and the boys.
Well, Aaron and the boys, thank you,
that'd be a good name.
Aaron and the boys, just to be clear,
because Aaron is the real leader,
he actually went, I'm not even making this up,
he went to race car school and drove a hot rod
Stupid to go to race car
I mean get this guy group rides. Honestly, I'm over it riding in a big pack looks cool
But it's not worth the risk when you don't know if everyone has the skills to ride safe
One person panic breaks fixates or rides outside their limits.
And suddenly it's a dangerous situation for everyone.
I guess I guess that is not sound like a biker.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like a super kind of biker mentality.
Just like, yeah, sure, it's fun to ride in the group.
But what happens if somebody takes a spill?
And we're all in trouble
I'm not saying all clubs or group rides are bad
There's some solid writers in the group good people in the mix
But lately it feels like there's too much ego and not enough of what writing is supposed to be about
Freedom peace of mind and just enjoying the road
Yep
So
Yeah, he's like anybody else feeling this this shift that guy goes not sure if Harley specific
But not sure if the game has changed much. I've only been riding a little over five years
Okay, then what are you talking to? Yeah, you're not
In fairness though. It's like he just wants to talk about Harley stuff. He's on the forum
He wants to get involved in conversations and stuff like that. So those are the best replies where he's where it's just like I'm not really sure
But every bike night that I'm big grudgingly convinced by a friend to go to I come home and tell the wife
It was a bunch of dudes eating hot dogs and mean mugging each other and sunglasses
Pretty cool
I do love the picture every single guy
Talk They're all just fucking nobody's talking
They're all just staring at each other looking each other up and down
looking hard like with their sunglasses and all the leather stuff on, like the chaps and the,
yeah, like leather vest.
Yeah, they always have the vest.
The vest is a big thing
if you're in a motorcycle club, of course.
This guy goes, same thing.
I joined Hog, I don't know what H-O-G-G is,
and went on a three-day ride with about 30 others.
Everybody but me was dressed in black leather chaps,
fingerless gloves, et cetera. took an hour to fuel up, nobody
could decide where to eat annoying as fuck.
You don't say what you did.
It sounds bad.
I gotta get in this community it sounds like a really cool bunch of guys just bickering about where to eat.
We did ramen last night.
The morning after the first day it was 90 degrees all these guys are sweating their
asses off and all the leather gear
I came out with a t-shirt jeans and spary boat shoes
The right captain looked at me with disdain and said where's your gear?
Look look at him, and I said when my mother dies you can have the job until then go fuck yourself
That's actually like I don't, he's probably pretty old too.
He told the leader.
It just feels like that that guy will be able
to get the job as his mother sooner rather than later.
You know, like, if his mom's elderly,
it just seems like I would say, like,
I would just say you're never gonna be,
have the job of my mother.
Well, I would say I wouldn't put up with that shit. You know what I mean
I would be like no you don't talk to me like that. I'm the leader of this motorcycle gang
Hey, don't you talk to me that way?
Guy in Sperry's is funny though like guy walks out
he's with all these motorcycle guys walks out of a hotel hotel and sparrows a t-shirt and jeans and just every eye turns towards him like, what the fuck is this?
You're making us all look bad.
Was this like a Cape Cod bike gang?
He goes, he goes, jumped on my bike and left the group and quit hog when I got home.
Been riding for 40 years with probably 300,000 miles under my belt.
Don't need someone to be knob patronizing me.
First reply is, I think it's nice
they were concerned about your safety.
No need to throw that in their face.
Yeah, you've been riding for 40 years.
You've been riding for 40 years,
you don't understand the importance of wearing leather.
You think it's just a stylistic choice?
It's like, yeah.
These guys are so impossible. I keep trying to stop at J crew.
Every outlet along the way.
It's not cool. There's malls all the way. Nobody wants to stop at the mall.
Maybe two or three guys, but then you're there three hours. One guy's just stuck in the food court.
One guy gets a massage.
It's not worth it.
One guy's trying on pants at Lululemon.
No mad at the guy.
God damn it.
All the big bikers coming and trying to get them out
of Lululemon just like. Come on man. All the big bikers coming and trying to get them out of lulu-lemon
Come on man, I just love the idea of yeah just say this huge amount of these huge gigantic bearded biker guys who are just like
Constantly having their members like sort of break off and then having to wrangle a bit
This guy has said something pretty wild to him.
He goes, I've been riding since 96.
I'm an attorney and a former EMT.
If literally anything happens and you go down,
you will severely regret your failure to prepare.
Your cavalier attitude will be your downfall.
I see it all the time.
I'm assuming you're not married,
probably divorced a few times.
Oh, that is, does he say divorced a few times or are you through that in there?
He says, I'm assuming you are not married, probably divorced a few times.
Ooh, because it, listen, he was obviously confronting the guy and being a bit confrontational,
but right at the end there, he throws a real left hook at him.
I like the line, your cavalier attitude will be your downfall. He's right
though. I mean, listen, you can't be riding a motorcycle in jeans and a t-shirt. I feel
like I think it's if you're if you're doing like a long ride like that. I wonder about
helmets. Did you get into that at all? How these guys feel about helmets? I mean, we
yes, there is a helmet section here. He goes, this guy goes, figures
you're an ambulance chaser and a newer writer. Your snide comments won't get you anywhere.
I've been riding 20 years longer than you probably before you were born. He's an ambulance
chase, an ambulance driver and an ambulance chaser. That's you don't see that. That is
an attorney's plan from the inside and the outside. Yeah, he's that's got it. that. He's an attorney. He's playing it from the inside and the outside. Yeah, that's kind of cool.
He's like, yay.
I wonder if that had to do with the fact that he's just driving the ambulance, and he's
just like, jeez, I could chase these down, you know?
I know every move.
I know the routes they take.
I mean, it's, yeah.
I mean, this TV show, let's get this this guy's rights because this is sold in the room
And then but also a key thing that this guy didn't mention is he the guy says I've been writing since
1996 and
The guy responds. Oh, you're a newer writer
Yeah, I know a classic old guy who's like cuz because that happens when you get really old, I think,
is like 1996 does still seem like it's recent to you.
Yeah.
Like relatively speaking.
Here's another guy.
I'm not a fan of group rides or riding with even a few people I don't know.
My peeve is the people I've rode with lately only want to ride 20 minutes to the next restaurant
or bar and sit for an hour.
Okay, so you're saying they're using their bikes as transportation to go to places they
want to go.
That's, yeah, that's a different thing, I think.
It is so amazing that all these guys chose something that is kind of associated with
like being a lone wolf, but also kind of associated with community.
And they are feeling the push and pull
of both of those things constantly.
They're clearly men who cannot handle other people's needs.
So they got a motorcycle, but then they got lonely.
Yep.
That's so true.
It really is.
It really is something where it's like,
yeah, it really instills this idea of like yeah being on the open road
Yourself, you know, you don't need anybody else. You can just pack stuff on and go but you don't see a lot of them riding around solo
No, they're riding around with their buddies. He goes one of them the only people I can get to writing is the guy that always
Has an agenda. There's always a quote stop that's going to eat up one or two hours.
So, uh, guy goes, uh, Harley Davidson makes nice motorcycles, but they attract cosplayers like
moths to a flame. I refuse to dress like a pirate and avoid legit safety gear. The whole quote biker
culture is teenage fantasy. And I feel bad for those that make it their identity
So yeah been pretty much a loner most of my life
Had a few scrapes, but I can still keep my knees in the breeze and runs the back roads A pack ride to me is myself or three or four brothers out for a nice putt around the area, but that's about it
So that is a psycho Rob
Let's check in with this guy
Really I said I'm gonna have to leave I'm gonna have to go on my own then and
Then a couple of them said well, no, I'm not gonna let you go on your own
We'll come with you will you know, we'll we'll do it. That's nice. Okay, they're dudes
You know, really if it's not what you want, don't bother. I'll be fine. Oh, no, don't worry about me. I'll be
Wait till this next line is so good. Sorry. Sorry. I didn't they want to come. I gotta go back because I love this
all that stuff
But they were pretty insistent they wanted to come
so we had something to eat I went to the cash machine to get some more money out as I come back
we rode back to the place where we're staying this place now as I got back in and I'm sitting
down I'm thinking right and we we're off to an early night,
we're off to set off early.
All I could hear was all of them planning a trip
where they were leaving here and going across France,
the opposite direction, going into Germany,
and going into Belgium.
So this is like, are you telling me he's like saying
they're trying to sleep and he can't sleep because they're planning their
trip without him too loudly in the next room.
Which is such a funny concept.
Talking about all the exciting stuff they're going to see.
Well, it's funny because this is a perfect guy thing to be like, no, no, don't worry
about it.
If you don't want to ride home with me, then fine.
You know what I mean?
And then like they're planning their next ride.
He's like, well, I meant that I did want you to ride home with me.
I didn't want to be left out.
It really hurt his feelings.
Yeah, it does. Believe me. This
is 37 minute video and he's talking as he's driving home. It's it's the whole thing. It's
obviously like it's horrible to feel like you know, you want to be feeling included
and stuff like this, but it's like, Oh no, you're an adult. You understand. Hey, they've
decided to go a little longer and you can't. That just like that's the way that it is. But yeah, you want to yeah, like this must it must be a bad feeling for him
I'm sure it's triggering something from like his child
That's not taking shorter days that's doing a longer journey and getting more countries and all that stuff
so basically long and short of it is
I'm going up France and getting more countries and all that stuff. So basically long and short of it is
I'm going up France. All of them as a group are going across France.
I am going to get going really.
I've got a long day ahead of me.
I've got to make my way back to the ferry.
So yeah, I will be doing a lot of moaning and as it put me off touring
with groups again I've not made my mind up on that we want to see how today goes but
at the minute yeah I am a little bit pissed off really yeah but yeah it's turned into a solo
He posted this on in a subreddit like I've never seen so much whining in my
37 minutes long and
He's just gonna be whinging the whole time. That's another term they use in England for that whinging. Yeah. All right I told Dan about this before you got on here Chris. I do need to share something real quick. Not the
whiny guy which I will come back to later. Guy goes first bike, pissed off the
wife a good deal. That's always good. That's what you want to do. So let's read some cut. These are the most Chris. These are the most
They do not put up with wives
Motorcycling community, you know that old saying unhappy wife happy life
First guy goes it's got a backrest what she complaining about oh my god
Yeah, a lot of our guys Dan that we cover they
Will have like an issue where their wife will be like upset about either how much money or time?
They are spending on their thing and it's a yes you can imagine
It's like a huge thing if you don't have that much money
and then your husband's like out there
buying a bunch of guitars or whatever.
And then they're on these forums just like,
can you believe my wife's giving it to me again?
So I guess we're not gonna be redoing
the garage door anytime soon, are we?
No, but I got this new telecaster, you telecaster And it's funny because this might be the most expensive hobby we've ever covered
Well, I can't think of anything that we've covered that's more expensive than
Motorcycle I mean, I think I guess if you're buying a bunch of them, but they most of them aren't collecting motorcycles
I'm trying to think of the most expensive one. I mean collecting guitars is jeeps, I guess but but collecting guitar like
Again, people don't collect jeeps. Really? I don't think so
What is like you're you're getting a motorcycle you're hoping to join a club. What are you spending like a hundred thousand?
Yeah, yeah, you're right because the initial cost is huge if you want to buy like a new motor
So I guess you can use one. A Harley is like 30 grand.
OK.
So you could probably get one for a used one or something
for 10 or 15 grand that would start or buy it.
I wouldn't buy an old bike.
Man, you got to get a new one, baby.
OK, yeah, you're right.
You're just joining.
You're just starting this new thing.
You want to really jump in.
You got to get the best bike. You got to get the best. You got to get the best skis and all that. Yeah. Joining that you're just starting this new thing you you want to really jump in
You gotta get the best you gotta get the best skis and all that yeah I feel like yeah, you've spent 30 and then what else you got to get the gear
There's gonna be other gear. I would say you're gonna probably drop if you're buying a new bike probably 50 grand
Yeah, and he gives you a little more information
He goes we're supposed to the motorcycle safety course and get a new bike each
But she kept postponing it for the last three years a man has his limits
And then guy responds it goes I'm at two years of waiting to get a new a
New new to me bike might have to do the same soon
Gets a reply that goes damn me and the girlfriend had the same plan
She wasn't ready for the course. I waited two days and went and do it myself. I'm impressed y'all had that much patience
So he just went for it he knew that it was
I'm I guess I'm not really understanding exactly what those guys are talking about buying a bike and whether or not their wife will allow
Them to basically coming home with a new motorcycle a new to you because that guy is talking about buying
a used one but any motorcycle coming home with it without consulting the person that
you share your finances completely insane completely insane unless you're like i guess
a super rich like you know like if you're so rich i guess but if you're just a normal
person like any of us,
and you're like, come home with a motorcycle,
I think your wife is like okay to be like,
hey, maybe we should have talked about this purchase.
For some reason she's dragging her feet
on the training courses, and I will not ask her why.
I simply won't ask her why.
I just hate her, and that's it.
Yeah, communication could fix a lot of this stuff.
But there's a lot of these, I feel like, yeah, they don't.
I don't know.
It feels like a lot of them don't
talk to their wives at all.
Well, here's a good one.
You guys are going to crack up.
Both we're all in the comedy world.
So this guy really goes off.
I don't know if that's really.
I'm in it.
I mean, I listen. I used to tread the boards.
I used to do the written word.
I used to do the stand up, the pre-prepared stuff.
Dan is obviously a very good improviser up there on stage.
But Brian, it's a little different.
I'm a goofball, right?
Yeah, but you haven't been up there on the boards
is the difference.
I have.
OK, well, this guy goes, this is so funny.
You guys are gonna love this
Is she still pissed get a blanket and tie it around her collar
When she asks you what you're doing ask if she is still pissed when she inevitably gives you an answer because you already know She's pissed tell her well now you are super pissed
What oh cuz she's wearing a cape oh?
What? Oh, because she's wearing a cape.
Oh.
Just trying to like,
grabbing your wife by the neck
and like trying to force a blanket around her neck,
like tying it around.
Trust me, just trust me on this one.
Just trust me, like she's like,
stop, please stop, what are you doing?
Like, it's like, it's.
Stop fiddling with it, stop fiddling with it.
Let me finish my question.
The payoff is immense the payoff
Just getting excited to say it and then she'll be like, ah, okay. Yeah got me
That's funny. This guy goes they are never happy
Women is he talking about? Yeah wives
Wives, you know, yeah, and then a guy responds it goes same. This is so
guys coded Same 25 years ago, but now she loves to go for rides and the vibrations work in my favor if you know what I mean
I do I do know what you mean
You're speaking my language you talk about about her getting horny, no doubt.
That's, yeah, that is cool, though.
That's like a cool to like, he's like looking back,
like, oh, like I was once you.
That's like a classic, like I've been in your,
trust me, it gets better for guys like that.
It gets better.
Let me school you on the ways of female pleasure.
Yeah. Maybe that way you'll the ways of female pleasure. Yeah.
Maybe that way you'll get some enjoyment in your marriage,
sir.
It reminds me of like, I'm trying to think of exactly,
but it's like a tone of like in middle school and high school
the way like, I don't know where these jokes came from,
but it's in the same zone of like kids would tell dead baby
jokes or like Helen Keller jokes or like wife jokes
like this where it's like I don't know where these came from but I think we stopped around
16 or 17 at the latest.
Some of us did. Some of us did. Some of us did, and we discovered online that a lot of
people are still at it.
They're just right there.
Oh yeah, because a lot of people, like you probably think that the website, the Chive
is defunct, but no, it's going strong.
We cover it regularly.
There's people there.
I haven't seen like 30 people at an airport
with a Chive t-shirt in a while, so I figured it was done.
Oh yeah, I guess you haven't been to the airport
when one of our live shows was in town.
I, Dan, it's really funny.
It reminded me of like, some of my,
like any one of my friends had a girlfriend, right?
And we would be like, hey, we're gonna go out and party.
And if they said like, no, I'm hanging with my girlfriend,
it was just constant, of course, and stuff like that.
Making jokes about the old ball and chain.
Oh, you're so whipped.
Like, I remember having like, not just making fun of them
and like, oh whoopsh, but I remember having
serious discussions about it.
He's actually super whipped.
You know, being concerned for him.
It was obviously just such jealousy.
It was such like-
Should we put on Saving silverman and just figure this out
It's funny cuz they're the reason
You're saying that but it really is like they're they're having sex. That's why they're always hanging out with their girlfriend
Yes, they're they're having sex or yeah in some cases doing other sexual stuff for long periods of time
but yeah, the they're definitely hooking up with people and
That's at that age. I think that's number one
Your bingo card and if you can get that in any given night
It's going to take precedent over you know huffing gas and throwing rocks at the windows
I used to this guy I was at I was at the pool hall one night and and these girls
That I knew from school were like hey you want to go drive around and smoke weed with us and I was like
I know I'm with my friends tonight. You know I can't which is this I understand
You're like is there like a hole or some way that you can pass the joint into the trunk from the back seat or?
But this guy
For the rest of his life
For the rest of the time we knew each other
Every time we talked to each other who look at me
And he's a man you could have been stoned and boned
been stoned and boned.
He said it every time to the point where he had an accident at work and he got hit on the head with a piece of steel
and his memory was kinda fucked up.
This isn't as funny.
Right, but even then when I saw him he would be like,
man you could have got stoned and boned.
He had said it the whole time.
It's not as funny.
That was one of the things that even with the brain injury,
that was one of the things that he retained.
He retained that information that you are an absolute
fucking idiot for not getting in that car.
Yeah.
This guy goes.
Mike Myers has a story about one of the last things
George Harrison did was write a letter to Mike Myers for whatever reason
And that's gonna be your story about this guy is like his wife's gonna be like the last thing
He said was Brian could have gotten stoned
They're trying to do it's like they're trying to decipher it like a movie
Yeah, this guy goes after I bought after I brought home bike number three wife mentions
I should sell one came home with bike number four not a word. Oh my god
Sounds like it sounds like your wife is scared of you
Very very cool. This guy goes tell her she doesn't have to write it
Okay, good advice.
I don't think that's her concern, right?
Like I don't think it's not like they're using these school, you know, they're like, well,
she you don't have to use it.
It's like, well, no, I think she's one concern maybe with their partner's well-being and
then probably with the financial aspect of it.
This guy says I went through that two years ago.
If your wife ain't on your side you need a new wife if she loves her man
She'll let him do what he wants unless he's cheating on her then that's a different story
And there's some truth to that as well that if you can't afford it if you can't afford it and you're not doing anything
That's like dooming the family then yeah
You should be with a partner who supports the things you love and isn't like trying to stop you from doing them
That's true
Finally this guy goes my ex-wife asked for a divorce after I bought my first bike my new girlfriend loves that
I ride a Harley because that's what her dad rides
I hate that. That's really one of the worst posts you ever read.
Holy shit, we've read some pretty bad things on here.
On the bonus episode, I just had to bleep out some slurs that some guy said, you know,
but that is really one of the worst things I've heard.
It's gross.
Let's check in with this guy.
Let's go.
There's the bikes.
Oh, he's riding now. He points at their bikes. Oh go there's the boy he's riding now he points at their
bikes he showed their bikes as you drill off there's the bikes it's first they're
dead to me he said they're dead to me. He said they're dead to me. By the way, I do love it because I love it.
It looks so much like Europe there, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
I do like Europe.
I wanna go to Europe so bad.
Me too, brother.
You wanna go together, Brian?
Yeah, yep.
Let's go to Europe together, seriously,
because I can't go to America dead
because we got everything in your country.
We can't even do live shows there.
You're not missing a ton here.
Yeah, I mean, listen, a lot of my friends,
a lot of my friends and so like Brian lives
in Columbus, obviously, and we did have plans for me to come hang out a lot.
Don't say a city to the Hells Angels. They're going to come get him.
Oh, he says his address. There aren't any here.
He literally says his address on the on the podcast. But yeah, I think that would be really
fun, Brian. If we did a Europe trip, I would actually enjoy that.
Euro trip. Yeah, it would have to movie. I
have to bring my old lady and my kid though. I have to bring my old lady too. I'm not even
joking. I would actually. You're both now in three months writing Reddit posts of like
thought I was doing a fun trip with a friend but he brought his old lady and his kid. This
is going to be our buddy. This is in Sophie's pocket And after she fought me off
At the ABR That's very dead to me
Anyway, that's another story. Um, no, I
Am a bit pissed off and
Thinking about it. I think
In fact, no, I know if this would have been the only option
In fact, no, I know if this would have been the only option
When This tour was brought up when we were arranging it. I wouldn't have come
Just rather stayed at home or planned a different tour for myself. I
Don't mind riding on my own. I do
probably most of my riding on my own, but I'd come on this to tour with mates.
And yeah, I'm not.
This is beautiful though.
Is this France?
Is he in France?
He's in France. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is beautiful though. Is this France? Is he in France? He's in France, yeah yeah yeah.
It is really nice. I used to play GeoGuess around stream sometimes and I did find...
Austria is really nice too. That was just what I found.
Like the place that I dropped by France, there were so many places you get dropped where you're like,
Holy shit, is this ever fucking nice.
Imagine you're in the beauty of France and all you can do is complain about these guys thopping you off.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
He's literally like, it's sunset as well.
So he's riding in this beautiful sunset
of this beautiful country road.
And yeah, it's like, you would think, Dan,
if you're a real biker at heart, that you would say, hey,
sucks that the blokes are going on.
The lads, the geezers are going on, but I'm going to enjoy this ride now.
Oh, he does not enjoy the ride.
I'll let you know.
I've watched the whole video and he starts complaining about toll roads almost immediately.
Here's another wife post.
This guy posts a picture of a helmet.
It's a full face helmet.
Yeah, he goes, it's cheaper than a purse
I bought my wife for Mother's Day, though. I shouldn't feel bad if I pick this up right waste of money
Yes, but damn it's nice now
You're not gonna be prepared for how much this costs
Okay, cuz I was gonna say yeah, I mean a helmet is not a waste of money, but this one is a waste of money a
$4,000 helmet
That feels like one of those products that's just like geared towards people with so much money that want to buy the most expensive thing
I'd love one, but I can't I don't have the 4k for it
It's a racket cuz you can always convince yourself more expensive means safer. You could be like,
yeah, right.
$4,000 one. Yeah for safety when you're talking about the safety like life or death. We're talking about this is gonna potentially save me from death.
I'm not gonna, what are you gonna skimp on that? Like you're gonna get the
$3,500 one it paid 500 extra dollars. It could mean, you know, your life. Brian would buy it just to be clear.
Brian would buy it. Brian, the Brian would buy a bright the guys were dog money
$4,000 the guys are dumb and they want to spend more money on stuff. That is Brian. He just does oh well
He has some money now, but he's like well. He has no money just to be clear
He makes a good we make a decent amount of money on the podcast a lot more than he used to
But it's just all out the door on some of the dumbest shit you could ever imagine
What's the most recent one? I mean what what kind of what you bought a Lego thing?
I mean he spent thousands of dollars on Legos so he's but they're all gone now
Yeah, he donated them afterwards because he just likes to build you but he didn't get any money back for them
He thinks the money costs into them. That's a lot
But what is what's something that you've bought recently that was expensive?
I guess I would say that Lego said I have yeah, it's like 345. What was it?
It's a boat. It's like a river boat
345
345 dollars, you know, I mean I don't know and I'm not I'm not trying to say that that's like selling it
I don't know and I'm not I'm not trying to say that that's like selling it
Yeah, I'll get some of that back. This is like, too This is when you get in real trouble with your stuff is when you're just like, oh no, I'll get like, you know
It's not like I'm not it's not total sunken cost as soon as you start thinking of any of your hobby as not being
Entirely a sunken cost you're in big trouble big trouble
I'm selling it and it'll only end up being like
$150 probably and you didn't actually pay for it because you paid for it with your points that you accumulated through spending thousands of dollars
And gift cards I had I had I had $85 in gift cards, too so there was money off his family get some gift cards for Lego because you talk about not being able to
Shaw from you actually can't shop for it because he
Will buy he buys the things so fast like anything that he needs just buys it so fast
Yeah
I get that a lot from my wife like it's hard to buy you stuff because anything you want you just buy it
Yeah, his his his adult. They'll send me like his daughter sent me a message You know asking and that's why I said you should print off this
Image of this swinger couple and frame it for him to put up on his wall
Well, here's something you find out
$4,000 for a helmet is insane and the guy replies and goes yeah
Especially since it's recommended to be replaced every
three to five years.
Whereas a handbag is meant to last a lifetime.
Hang on a second.
Yeah, I'm going to want more than three years on that for, but again, they're, they're keying
in on the safety aspect of it, Dan, where they're just like, yeah, of course you got
a like, it's, it's going to, you know, you have to do a new, have a new one in three
to five years just to make sure that it's gonna, you know, you have to do a new have a new one in three to five years just to make sure that it's
I say they do a strollers and car seats and stuff as well
Then it's just like yeah, you have to replace that you have to do this and I'm sure that you don't
I think you do but again, I don't know and I don't know if they're saying too quickly to do it
And I would never question it right? I mean, I'm not gonna question the side question
I question the safety of my child at all times.
Yeah. Well, when your child was a child, you were heavily on pills.
Medicated. Just say that. This guy goes, yeah, especially, oh, he guy replies and goes,
maybe, but that doesn't stop my wife from asking for a new bag every damn year.
This is so unfamiliar to me. This like of your wife and your relationship and the use of money is so unfamiliar to me.
It's such an odd like, listen, I've gone out and spent too much money on stuff.
My wife has also done the same thing.
And just sometimes you just do that.
That's not really fair to make it seem like they're equal,
though, because you guys both sometimes do it.
She's probably done it once, and you've probably
done it 1,000 times.
We both have done it, you know?
Everybody's done it.
But I've never spent
I've never spent more than a thousand dollars without being like hey
Hey, I'm gonna buy this thing. It's gonna be a thousand dollars
And if not, I'm leaving you for someone whose dad used to buy these things
Yes
Dan I
Cheaper to keepers what I always say I oh like listen
I would always if I'm making a big I'll buy stupid stuff, you know, I'll buy I'm wearing a beat to Toronto Blue Jays
I like 47 cleanup hats and sometimes I'll buy them they cost like $40 or whatever
There's a Carhartt drop of those right now. That looks really nice. Yeah, I know I'm not interested
I don't like to wear Carhartt and pretend I'm like a working guy or whatever
I'm not interested. I don't like to wear carhartt and pretend. I'm like a working guy or whatever
But yeah the the I'll buy those types of things and I don't you know sometimes
Ariel will Ariel is my my wife, but she'll sometimes give me a little bit of a you know like oh you He came home with another hat. You know yeah, not in a serious way
She's never ever she would never be like,
hey, can you really stop buying so many hats or whatever?
But on the same token, yeah, I would never come
just go and buy a thousand dollar thing.
Every once in a while you might just have to be like,
hey, is everything okay?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like that's a lot of hats this month.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
And every now and then.
It's true, just checking in.
Just checking in with you
because I've noticed that your app purchasing has.
That's your third Harley.
So what's going on internally here?
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that helmet.
It was for like, imagine being like me.
I showed you guys the helmet like fucking sick.
We didn't describe it. It's fucking sick.
Yeah, it honestly did look super sick.
Fuck it. It's so sick.
It looks super futuristic and cool, like something you'd see in like Tron or
something like that. Yeah. Yeah.
This guy goes, this really feels like a look how much money I have.
Yeah. Yeah. OK.
Well, listen to the OP's reply to that.
Only if you think 4K is actually a lot of money man. Oh
This guy sucks, so oh my god, so it's imagined like
Having a lack of self-awareness to respond that way you know like that's more of a look how much money
I have my accountants actually doing just fine, but when he dies you can have the job sir
My accountant's actually doing just fine, but when he dies, you can have the job, sir. Only if you think 4K is actually a lot of money, man.
But if you're an adult, you've been around, you realize it's all relative.
What's a little to me is a ton to someone else.
What's a ton to me is pennies to someone else.
Then apply differences in financial priorities, et cetera.
Oh my God. You didn't refute anything.
It literally is a look how much money I have kind of pose.
The person was right.
How does he go from my dumb wife to like a Zen Buddhist?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's totally, he's the most calm, even killed guy
until he bring up his fucking bitch
We get off the wife thing here's a picture
Did somebody post it and you're not gonna believe this but it didn't go well. This is this guy's new electric
I mean it looks like a little Vespa kind of you know it's like it does but it looks still like kind of like a
Motorcycle yeah, it's like it almost looks like a bike
That's you know one of those like chopper bikes like the bicycle choppers that you'll see people driving it almost looks like that
Guy goes it looks cool, but I do think quote motorcycle is pushing it a little so I
Think they now we're into a new motorcycle thing that will show me
the picture again I want to look at it again because I don't think it is a I
think I agree I don't think it is a motorcycle it's a motor give him a break
I don't think it's a motorcycle it looks silly but it's like it where's the
where's the motor it's a battery it doesn need one. This is not super far from something
you might see somebody riding around
like a retirement community.
Yeah, yes.
Like it definitely honks like.
Beep beep.
It definitely.
That's true.
It's like a motorcycle version of a rascal.
Yeah, it's like a rascal made up to look like a chopper
basically is what it looks like.
You're also, I mean not to. I think it's kinda of cool not to drag them, but you are not supposed to charge those off of a
Extension cord you got to plug that direct into the wall my guy
Because this first guy
Guy goes it's cool, but I don't I do think motorcycle is pushing it a little. Then he gets a response from a guy and he goes, yeah, don't expect the wave from the
rest of us when you pass us by.
No wave.
No wave.
He's doing a how about it to the Harley guys thinking they're the same.
That's a nightmare.
That's like somebody with some sort of jeep that's like so it's like such a shit looking Jeep that they don't even get a Jeep wave from their.
You know the Jeep wave Dan.
There's like an actual wave that you get.
I think it's this right.
Is it this.
Oh it's this.
It's a three fingers like this.
Yeah it's like it's literally like a thing that you do like out the window to other Jeep Jeep drivers.
So it's all like I don't know what it means exactly.
We didn't. It's just the Jeep.
It's just the Jeep wave. It's the Jeep wave.
It's like, yeah, it's been it's very stupid.
It's just a thing to say, hey, you and I both drive a car
that could start rattling and crash on its own at any moment.
Guy replies and goes, if it can't do freeway speeds and also
doesn't need to be shifted, it's not a motorcycle.
It's a scooter. Yes.
If it doesn't need a license, it's a scooter.
If it has pedals, it's a moped.
If it shifts, then it's a motorcycle regardless of top
speed. Pretty simple, really.
Yeah, I mean, that that that person I think does have that
person's right. I think that those are all accurate all accurate right like that person's not being a stickler
I think there's actual definitions for the stuff and that's what I get say a guy goes
There's always one person who has their own definition scooters or motorcycles my dude. Just Google it. Oh
Okay
Scooters are a type of motorcycle
What is it? What is the definition?
What is the dictionary definition of motor?
Oh, we get into that.
This strike gets into that.
OK, good. Good.
Guy goes, not according to the manufacturer
that calls it a scooter and not a motorcycle.
So that is and then a guy goes repeat after me.
A scooter is a type of motorcycle.
So this is the argument where we're find ourselves in a scooter is a type of a motorcycle
Before we see the rest of them. Where do you guys stand before hearing many arguments on this?
I don't I don't think a scooter is a motorcycle. I think a motorcycle is a is a different thing. I think than a scooter
Yeah, I'm good with calling it a motorcycle a scooter a motorcycle
I don't see what the yeah, you got
You got such a fucking flippin attitude though. You know you're always oh
You know I'm sorry I care a bit about the rules
The rule for me would be if I told somebody I was trying to impress come check out my motorcycle would they
Be disappointed laughing me or make fun of me when they saw this?
Yeah.
Sure.
And you call it whatever you want.
Maybe it is technically a motorcycle, but you're putting a picture in people's minds.
Yes.
If you said, yeah, and they showed up, would they say, oh?
Like if they went, oh, then it's not.
I'm afraid to say it's not a motorcycle.
There is a little information about this motorcycle that shows up in the comments this guy's goes according to the manufacturer
It's about 40 miles of range at full speed 70 miles an hour as Mac great max range
But you'll top at 25 miles per hour for that so you can get 70 miles out of it if you drive 25 miles an hour
Which you can't on the road.
I mean not on the freeway.
No, not even on, not even on.
I mean let's be honest, there's a lot of even like city, you have to be on like little side
street school zones and stuff really.
I love that it's 40 miles of range at full speed.
And what's full speed?
Did it say full speed? It didn't say full't say they don't even want to say the full speed
This guy goes right so even an electric bicycle is more useful Oh
Brutal he's right though. He is very right though
So that thing it thing pretty much the crazy thing is this thing cost four or five K
I could buy two of my RC 390s with that or a ninja 300 or 400 or an R3 but I guess OP
might have a license restriction there a different market where they live
license restriction so ah so that's a key thing you can get ones if you got
too many DUIs there's still ones that you're allowed to drive around Well, here's the next argument we got a
Check out this next argument
So is this a motorcycle?
No, it is a Ryker rally now two front wheels and one back wheel
It's got to have two wheels for it to be a more sick. I think otherwise it's called something else, right?
It's called what it would a quad I guess is a four-wheeler, but is I think otherwise it's called something else, right? It's called what would it would a quad, I guess is a four wheeler. But is there a like it's called something
else? I don't know. No, it's a motorcycle. I don't know. I think a motorcycle has to
be two wheels. Let's move forward just a little bit on this here. I'm doing it completely solo now
And a lot of it is gonna be well most of it is gonna be boring
By the way beautiful sunset as he's saying
He's driving right into the sunset you see it over the horizon in front of him. It is gorgeous. I just boring
I just looked up the deaf in the definition of
Motorcycle Brian you're completely wrong a two-wheeled a two-wheeled vehicle that is powered by a motor and has no pedals
No, okay. Now. I'm gonna let so the first one guys
Subrided argue the first one of the technically was then it's just I think
It should have to be able to go highway speeds
But that is like, you know, I think that that could be up for debate, but it has to have two wheels
I think well the first guy says motorcycle noun an
Automotive vehicle with two inline wheels so he would agree with you on this but then a guy responds
this is a perfect reddit response so a bike with a sidecar is not a motorcycle
then no it's a motorcycle with a sidecar I don't know I kind of agree with broken
load order I don't know man I think that it's like I don't know it's in the like I guess whatever right
I guess there's very few instances where it really is gonna matter where it's really gonna be consequential
But I don't know I think that it is you're like in the motorcycle subreddit is the place
Well, I just mean actually consequential though right to like get it wrong and be like, we need a definition of motorcycle.
I don't think that that's really ever coming up for people,
but I don't know, I think it is just a two-wheel vehicle.
Well, the guy goes, but by your posted definition,
this guy goes, take off the sidecar, you have a motorcycle.
You put on the sidecar,
you have a motorcycle with a sidecar.
Reply, but by your posted definition,
while it has a sidecar on it, it's not a motorcycle.
No, it is.
It is a motorcycle with a sidecar on it.
Weirdly though, I can strap a wind sail to a bicycle and that would fulfill your posted
definition.
What?
This guy's an exceedingly stupid man.
I hate this guy.
But he's making a very funny argument. I hate this guy. He's making a very funny argument.
I hate this guy.
What's his name?
Load something?
Broken load order.
And then the guy responds, he goes, don't blame me for the verbiage of the definition.
Blame Webster.
Oh, Webster.
Oh, shit.
Webster is, we gotta honestly, who was Webster?
Who came up with the definitions of that?
And have we thought about looking into it again?
I know- I wonder wonder you can submit a
like a
redefinition
Redefinition. Yeah. Yeah, like I mean truly that must have actually happened, right?
like things of a definition of something evolves in some way if you guys are really smart about the
Can you tell us how often do they change the dictionary? Not adding words. They never. But changing definitions in there.
If they do, okay, I'm gonna hit our guy
and then we're gonna do a few reviews here
that I found for a place in Columbus called Iron Pony.
Where do you live?
Dan, you live in Los Angeles, Hollywood?
Yeah.
Oh, that's cool.
Me and Brian and I, we spent some time out there.
We are kind of Hollywood kind. like we don't live there, but we
Suffice to say we have the attitude
There's some time yeah, this is over zoom if we hadn't set our locations
I would say you guys are probably down the street maybe up the hill a little bit of course
Looks insane like up the hill. What do you mean the Hollywood Hills? Yeah, that's the one
I love those hills. I genuinely love those
Because you know I have not had a good time
The ride in itself it has been basically all this,
if I'm honest.
What a beautiful, like he's saying,
it's been all this, it's tree-lined highways
with a beautiful sunset directly in front of his face.
I mean, what else are you hoping for on a motorcycle?
Something better than that, I'll tell you that.
Not a huge deal, I'm not a speed queen or anything,
but he is in the far right lane getting past a ton.
It's like, well, if you're in a rush to get home, you just pick it up here.
I don't know what to tell you. Enjoy yourself.
You're on a notoriously fast automobile.
A lot of windy motorway riding, not seeing anything at all.
And that is kind of being how these journeys have been going.
So you're not really seeing France, you're just seeing the motorways of France.
So, visually, the rides have been a bit shit.
What the f***? He rides have been a bit shit. What the?
He's calling it this visually shit.
Again, I implore you guys, it really does look nice as we said, but also I guess so
he wants to stop?
Because in order to do that, you have to get off the highway to do what he wants to do,
to go like explore the city proper, but that's going to take more time.
He doesn't have time.
He's got to get home, guys. Yeah but that's going to take more time. He doesn't have time. He's got to get home guys. Yeah that's why I'm saying so then like what I don't understand
what was his was he's mad at the other guys Chris. He's basically he's blaming all of
this on the other guys. It's a boring road. These other guys they suck. They want to go
to Germany and now I'm stuck on this boring road and he's going, they suck. They wanna go to Germany,
and now I'm stuck on this boring road.
And he's going home to see his kids,
so at some point his kid's like,
hey, let's check out Dad's YouTube
and see how his trip was.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is very funny to imagine,
like, oh, I'll check Dad's YouTube,
and he's like, drive homes a bit shit
I don't want to go ahead skip ahead this sucks skip ahead
Boring, but you bet look I'll skip ahead again watch. Oh now. He's sitting somewhere. Yeah
This is a long
This is a long ass day
But at least This is a long ass day. He now has his hand on his face like exacerbate like just like like he just cannot
Believe how upset he is and also I gotta say I'm I never but he's got really bad teeth is
He does yeah wait and when I'm riding it's nice and cool so every cloud and all that
I'm just a hot sweaty mess though
Just feels like I've got so far to go.
And it's all boring motorway.
Like he's really having a crisis.
He's documenting like a real like crisis of emotion
that he's having.
It's a boring motorway having it's a boring motorway
It's all boring motorway, and he came over here
Yeah, go along through Columbus yeah go through any place on the freeway
Vancouver Pacific Northwest where I am I mean listen it's it's not gonna be he's not gonna like it
I don't feel like he would hate it
But there's like a lot of nice like forested and like right along those the ocean and stuff
It's a shit load of trees. It's really quite shit
The ocean not seen that before oh
Deficient all that then yeah, all alright. It is a bunch of water.
Yeah.
Iron Pony, Luke went to the Iron Pony, he gave it one star.
Bought a 21 Roadmaster from them.
After getting it home and riding it, kept hearing something odd.
Took some time to figure out.
Ended up being after they installed new tires.
They did not adjust the belt properly.
When asked to get a new belt, if it were damaged, they said no and ultimately gave me a big slap in the
face.
I just thought of a good motorcycle guy joke that I it's a really good motorcycle guy joke
is that yeah, so I got this I bought this motorcycle from this place and I got it home
and I started hearing this weird sound every time
I turned it on and I tried to figure it out
Yeah, you know where I'm going dad
Turns out it wasn't the motorcycle. It's my damn wife
That's all I thought of when you were saying that was like him being like yeah like doing one of those horrible old
timey jokes or whatever.
Throwing me on the top post on our motorcycles right now post that joke. Yeah
Well, the health angels are definitely gonna forgive me after you telling that that joke about wives
Yeah, the hell's the hell's the angels. Hey listen, I want to I want to shout out as well definitely going to forgive me after you telling that that joke about wives.
Yeah, the hell's the hell's angels. Hey, listen, I want to I want to shout out as well. I want
to say Brian specifically says nobody from the Nomads chapter of the Hells Angels would
ever be able to find his ass. Those are the baddest of the bad.
I mean, motherfucker, he goes, been buying gear and things from them for years. First
bike I purchased and they won't even admit or apologize or attempt to
make right there mistake. Beware. Maybe a good deal.
Better look over everything before leaving, which I would say you should do
any good advice for any use. Yeah.
Yeah. If you're buying like something like that, you even, even maybe want to
have like, even sometimes when people get a car or whatever
They'll have like an independent mechanic look at the car. They'll actually have some like
Confrontational if I was at like a used motorcycle place, they would intimidate me so much
I would buy it and I would feel guilty asking them if it all works
You really would you you honestly think you would.
If I was in that position where I never will be, but where I was buying a motorcycle from
like a hog daddy, yeah, I think I would be a little bit like, so it's all good, right?
It's normal, it works, it's fine.
And then he'd be like, oh, you bet, brother.
And that would be it.
I'd be like, all right, cool, great.
And you're a large tour. You're very you're a large guy
You're you're big so like physically you could sort of like you wouldn't be physically intimidated
But you're just saying based on their knowledge of bikes and stuff
Yeah, I don't I don't think they'd kick my ass, but I think they would make me feel like shit
I mean emotionally kick your ass. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
It's like every time I go fucking buy a car. It's like alright. I don't want to spend more than this amount of money
Every time it's always fifty dollars more than that amount of money every single fucking time
Because I just I can't haggle. I can't say like
Yeah, it's like I'm what am I gonna say like oh, how about $50 less a month or whatever? Did you know that I
bought a car? And like a little while ago, and you guys talking
about that right now, it just dawned on me that I could. This
is really dumb. It just dawned on me that I could have haggled
the price. Yeah.
Realized that I just paid the price that they were asking,
because I was just like,
can I get financing for this?
And then they're like, yeah, you can.
And then I was like, oh, fuck yeah.
And I was just so excited that I could get financing for it.
And then I was able to leave with a car.
It was so exciting to me that I was just like never even thought to try to get any money
off.
I got one over on those idiots.
Yeah, exactly.
I literally walked out thinking that.
And yeah, I guess I'm a bit of a rube, I suppose.
Wait, you trust me enough to take this car
and then pay money to you later for it?
All right, yeah, I'll take whichever one you'll give me.
Really?
I'm a big, this guy goes,
one star deals are not that good,
and only deals are for the dumb stuff. Nobody wants or needs
Yeah, welcome to yeah, that's that's the concept
That's an idea of retail sale like that's that idea has been around for a long time
Yeah, the sale is for stuff that nobody wants to get you into the store to buy the things that you want
He goes helmets are overpriced and parts are more expensive than other places. If you like throwing money away, it's a great place to do that. You think buddy, buddy,
you think you're on my way buddy. You think you think those helmets are overpriced, but
he's just see the helmet. I got clothes are all over price. Hats are way over price. Can get some hats
for five to 15 bucks versus their $30 or more. So the hats are 30 bucks.
$5 hat. I certainly, I mean, those really cheap like Canada flag hats at the dollar store,
I think costs like four, you know, but they're noticeably like a worse type of hat.
I don't think I've seen a $5 hat in many a years,
like a normal hat.
This one's really interesting
and it really conjured up an image for me.
This is from Charles, he gave him one story.
He goes, rip off place, don't buy from here.
They charge hidden fees and also think they're funny
by letting the security alarm off on your way out
and want to search your wife's purse
I'll never shop here again. It's sad. The only thing they have is a big selection, but people who work there are ridiculous
He thinks they did it as a joke
They're just laughing in the back.
Let's get them. Let's get them. They just press a button as they go.
Remember this reminds me of my complex with the the Taco Bell by me where I thought they were making fun of me. Oh, yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, like this guy's real Brian mode in that.
I think they were making fun of you because of your orders, right? You ordered so much and you went there so often.
No. I mean, I believe that the people at Taco Bell were making fun of you you because of your orders right you ordered so much and you went there so I Know I mean I believe that the people I talk about were making fun of you. I I were not I I
This this makes me think of I got I don't know if I've ever mentioned this but I got like
actual some level of trauma from this place the shoppers drug Mart is like our drugstore like Rex all or whatever around here and
I went there and the one place by my house,
the thing would go off, it was broken,
and it would go off every single time,
like anybody left for periods of time.
So like just every other time it would go off
when you were leaving.
And still to this fucking day,
I still get this like feeling of like,
this is like sinking feeling inside of me
as I walk out through those every time, thinking it's gonna go go off every time like I just can't get it out of my head
so I don't know how I feel like
It's a it's a trauma that I could possibly
Listen, I was a guy that I follow. He's a lawyer a Harvard ex-Harvard lawyers. It's Alan
It's me Alan Dershowitz. He recently talked about, yeah, suing somebody
for not selling him pierogies or whatever,
and just sort of, I was just thinking of like,
yeah, maybe sue them for the trauma that they caused
or something like that.
Well, this guy goes,
can't begin to say how disappointed I was.
I started looking online and got really excited
looking at their website of all the different options
and classes and whatnot.
So me and my wife drove over there on my birthday.
I love it when guys bring up their like adult guys.
We drove over on my little birthday.
Birthday boy that day.
It's a little birthday boy.
I swam on a little tree.
Motorcycles.
Yeah, keep in mind when you hear this story
that it was my special day nothing bad can happen to me on my birthday you know
that so we walked around their showroom for probably 40 minutes sitting in on and
checking on bikes with salesmen all around us I mean a place was empty of
shoppers and at least four to seven employees at any given moment, hurdled together just hanging out and talking,
watching me walk around and not even a hello or how can we help? So we drove over to auto
boutique and got the help we needed. Oh, I hate guys that do that little test when you
go to a store. I used to do it too. Listen, I was never, I was once a bad guy too.
You go to the store and then you huff and puff
around the store because nobody's talking to you
without actually going up to the person and saying,
hey, can you help me with this car?
It's like, I'm testing them.
That would never even cross my mind to do that.
Yeah.
Brian, I wanted to give you credit actually
for adding puff to
the to the he used to just do the huff part that's good this place is called
Daytona Motorsports it's in Vancouver British, wait, where is it? What road? Sir, I do not know.
I can look it up.
I don't know this, but I mean, I'm not a motorcycle guy.
You're not a motorcycle guy.
You wouldn't know.
I just want to know what neighborhood it's in.
It's a motorcycle dealer in Vancouver, British Columbia.
It's in Vancouver.
That's the neighborhood.
It's on Cordova.
It's in East Vancouver.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know this. Well, Paul gave them one star star and said dealing with the service department was a joke
They tried to charge me. It's not a joke by the way you guys are not you would hate if this happened to you
Can I just say this place? This is for the listener this place right beside where a friend of the show Stefan hack used to live
He used to live just down the street from this place. Where does he now? He lives just down the street from me. You know this fucking freak
You know what this fucking freak is done. He's literally I moved into this one neighborhood commercial drive
He literally moves a one-minute walk away from there. I leave that area one year later and move to the River District
Shouldn't actually say that I'm gonna bleep that out
Lives in the River District. It's not a very big area and then he moves into here as well like
He says it's a coincidence, but it's like I don't know at some point
It's like buddy get your own area to live in you know like it's kind of so he goes he goes they claim
he goes uh
They try to charge me a ridiculous price
for fixing a minor issue with my bike and charge me an additional fee that they never
explained beforehand for not going through with the work order.
They claimed it was because they had to reassemble the bike and give it back to me.
I'm shocked they didn't charge me for using the ink in their pens to sign the paperwork.
This guy is such a whiny guy too.
I got the job done at another service center
for a fraction of their quoted price.
Would never consider going back
or recommending them to anyone.
And finally, our last review for Daytona Motors.
Before we get out of here, Sham gives it one story.
He goes, scammed Tonamot Motors is what it should be called.
Oh shit.
Talked to someone to trade my bike
and when we agreed on the price and everything,
got a call back later saying,
oh we added 400 bucks as a donation to our deal.
They called it some type of fee,
but I'm gonna call it a donation, LOL.
I would not recommend this dealership at all, folks.
They charge you an arm and a leg Justin fee. Well there
was the negative rating option. Wish there was a negative rating option. Now this guy
is a comedian really because he starts by saying scam tone of motors is what it should
be called. And then at the end he's like they call it some type of a fee but I'm going to
call it a donation. Yeah. He clarifies. He had to clarify it, because he's like, they added this donation on it.
And even like, everyone's like, wait, what?
That is fucked up.
Yeah.
If they're trying to force you to donate money,
and then he had to clarify, like, well,
that's actually what I'm calling it.
It's a fee.
It's more of a thing that you would
be familiar with in this type of a transaction,
where it's a fee that, you know, it's annoying,
but it's something that we are all familiar with.
You know when someone does that to you in conversation and you know they've said it
to every single person they've ever talked about this.
Like they said it once, they went like, uh oh, this is the one, I'm using it every time.
Scamtona.
And then the person they're talking to is like, what's scamtona?
I'm not like 100% sure.
Oh, it's Daytona mode.
And they encounter someone that they don't realize they've already said it to.
Yeah, I actually call them, the person's like, Scamtona.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And donation, it's not a fee, it's a donation.
Like the donation part would be so hard to explain to somebody as a joke.
Yeah.
You know what I mean? I call it a donate.
Like, it's not, like in the sense of like,
I'm donating it to them, like, it's like,
it's like not for anything, but it's like.
They didn't do any labor, so you can't call it a fee,
because I'm not, okay, okay, skim tuna.
It's the money, it was, yeah, it's the money.
Yeah, that was a double frappuccino, frappuccino. Oh I wait over there. Okay
Don't make it a crap a Chino
It was a crap a Chino, that's what I call a bad cappuccino
Still explain everything he says
The donation part makes zero sense like because when you first hear
$400 donation you're like well
What's that and then he has to clarify like he has to clarify both of his jokes
Let's check back in with this guy before we get out of here. Yeah, let's go right to the end
Let's go right to the end of his VSC because I'm sure about the end of it. Oh
Because I'm sure by the end of it, oh Jesus. He's like in a train station.
He looks so disheveled.
He looks like he's just been released by the Russian army.
He looks somehow like he's gotten older.
Like his hair has grown and he's gotten older in the video.
More beard.
This is crazy.
Doing a tour like that again, I can't do it. I can't do it. It costs a lot of money. beard. This is crazy. I know people are going to call me. I'll be called a pussy.
I'll be called, I'm sure loads of different things.
Because, you know, people do tour Europe on their own and they do.
And I'd be quite happy to do it on my own.
But if I did it on my own, I would actually have a plan.
I would go to places.
I would go and stop off at places.
I would tour. I would actually see a. I would go and stop off at places. I would talk.
I would actually see a bit of the area.
If I, I'll just say this.
If I found myself making a video or whatever,
and at the end of the video I was like,
now I know that this video is gonna cause
a lot of people to call me a pussy.
I probably just wouldn't even post the video.
He just keeps going. He's just like, they're going to call me a pussy, but you know,
yeah, he just, it costs him a lot of money. I mean, he is really in an absolute spiral.
He's like crashing out as they say nowadays is like, he's like spiraling fully where it's
like, it's one of those sort of shame, you know, where he's like, he's so upset about
it that all his mind is trying to do now is just conjure up all the horrible aspects of it to be like,
oh yeah, and the fucking cost of it as well. Like it's just searching for things to be
angry about.
Do you think he drops this video in the group chat with no comment?
In the group chat with the people he went on the trip with? 37 minutes.
Part two, 37 minutes.
Oh yeah, but it's part one, just to be clear.
No, but part one is him having fun with his friends.
It's actually, if we had the time to cover it, it would be even funnier because the juxtaposition
of him having fun with his friends and joking around versus when they leave him and how
he's just hated the whole thing is really great
so I'm going to spend 15 hours on a toll road and just get out of there because I need to get home
and that's the thing that's what I'm miffed about it's not the fact I'm doing
it on my own because I'm an adult, I'm not a baby. What? That's a good way to end.
I'm an adult, I'm not a baby.
Because I know what a lot of you are thinking.
No, I'm not a baby.
I'm a big boy. I'm actually a big boy, not a baby.
And can I tell you-
Big biker boy, I ride a motorcycle.
Can I tell you the worst part about it?
Yeah, here's my identification.
That's right, today is my birthday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dan, thank you for doing a show.

Oh, that's how can I just say I try I I'm a bit I didn't mention it because I don't want to make it weird
I'm a huge massive fan of the teachers lounge
So I teachers lounge is the only podcast truly that I've listened to every single episode twice of
I think it's one of the funniest podcasts that's ever been made
I genuinely believe that I actually tried to push Brian to say can we have Dan come on as Todd Padre?
But just the whole idea of it would not work in any way. As you can see, it would be just a stupid thing.
But just like it was a dream of mine.
So your podcast with Ryan, that's the new podcast
that you guys do.
It's so funny as well.
You guys are some of the best improvisers.
And yeah, honestly, truly, if you're a fan of our podcast

go check out everything that these guys do. Go check out
Man Versus Dog and Teacher's Lounge. Thank you so much, man. Yeah, the Teacher's Lounge you can

That's so nice of you to say. Thanks again. We will see you next week. I do not know. Oh,
cigar guys maybe. Actually, no, that was stupid because this might be an out order.
Why are you doing that? Why are you doing that?
