He's not a super talkative guy until he's had one sip of alcohol, and then you can't shut him up. Yeah, I'm never concerned about what you're doing at. Never? Come on, no. Saturday morning, I woke up at 7.30, and then I was like, oh, this is my life now. Well, I walked in on you guys doing it. But, uh... Oh, whoa.

Clip it. Clip it. Oh, no way. Oh, dude, you shouldn't have. So what did you want to talk about? Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi. Yeah, Wagovi. What about it?

On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you. Oh, you're not? No, just ask your doctor. About Wagovi. Yeah, ask for it by name. Okay. So why did you bring me to the circus? Oh, I'm really into lion tamers.

You know, with the chair and everything. Ask your doctor for Wagovi by name. Visit Wagovi.com for savings. Exclusions may apply. that he's not actually sick right now he just saw everyone else getting sick so he turned his location off took a hot shot to Vegas for 48 hours yeah I know might be some truth in that when I be some truth when I pulled up on Friday and you know everyone was sick I see Ken leaving the merch bay at 9 a.m. in the morning with a backpack on he's got this look on his face like and like he's like going

he's like going to his and he kind of does what he's like he yeah like he almost couldn't hold back like smiling as he off to the car. And then he's, he's got his backpack and everything. And he like starts loading in the back of his Tesla. I'm like, oh, are you leaving? He's like, yeah, I feel like shit. But when I was like asking him, are you later? I was like, no way, is this guy going to Vegas again?

This guy's going to Vegas again. Like, I just assumed he was because it's been so frequent. It's been so frequent. So frequent. And so suspicious. Yeah, but I. We kind of dance around it when Ken is on the podcast and Ken just kind of goes like this. And he never answers our question of, like, what you're actually doing there?

We don't know what he's doing there. I think we're all slightly afraid to ask him, though. Like, because we could very easily, when he's on, be like, so what are you actually doing there? But I think. He wouldn't give us a straight answer either way. I don't know if we want to hear the answer, though. We wouldn't get it. The most I get out of him is he does a little gambling.

But I know there's more than that. We wouldn't get it. But then you even ask him, how is it gambling? Good. Loss a little. Really? Did you win a little? Tell me some numbers, some hard numbers, man.

Yeah, just tell me a story. You know, like if I went, I'd talk about it for an hour at least. When Evan goes gambling, you hear the high and lowest, dude. Play-by-played. Every little card that he pulled. Exactly. Yeah. And then I found a dollar bill on the floor, fired that in. That was a loser, then put another 20.

Yeah. So I was out at the bar, and I saw the pole dab, and I thought, okay, well, I've only had a couple drinks. That's exactly how you sound it. So I went in, and I put 20 in, and I said, hey, what is somebody else? else like to throw it 20 in? So next thing you know, we were $7,000 in and there was there, but there was $6,000. But Slim said he had $50 left. So we threw that in. We won $300. So then we had to try and get it back. So we put it all 300 back in. Evan is, uh, he's not a super talkative guy until he's had one sip of alcohol and then you can't shut him up. You cannot shut him up.

Yeah, it's kind of energized as you're bunnyish. But I will say you are very, very friendly. Like when You drink, and I mean, you're always friendly in general, but you're maybe not as talkative, but, like, you could talk to just about anybody. I do sometimes find myself doing that. Yeah, but I wouldn't say it's a bad thing. Do you ever just, like, hang out with people? They always end up being fine, but, like, you don't even know how you got into that situation. Yeah. Like, never me, but you, yes.

Yeah, yeah. Like, why did I end up in this guy's garage cell four in the morning? Yeah. Like, just hanging. You're just eating brats or something. You're just hanging, man. You can talk about anything. Man, I just talking about Ken and Vegas, the one thing he said the other day I thought was very funny was he was complaining about how hard it is to bring his cowboy hat to Vegas.

Shut off. I mean, I think he could just get a proper hat. He has one. He has a hot, like a hard. Bro. Okay, well, apparently he didn't mention that to me because he said he has to wear it through the airport, but then he has to put it in the overhead bin and then, you know, make sure that no one else piles it up and smash. Because you obviously can't wear it while you're sitting in the seat. If you're a proper cowboy, you could.

I would bring the hard hat or the hard case and then a backpack. I do like wearing a cowboy hat, but it's so inconvenient. And also at the same time, I just don't feel like I'm deserving to wear a cowboy hat, especially through an airport. Yeah, and like a non, nobody's dressing up cowboy in the airport. Yeah, but I think unless you're truly that guy. And as I'm late, people have been pretty quick to to pounce on you if you're not a real cowboy. So, like, not a bad idea. The thing is, though, is, like, literally, you can wear whatever you want.

And it's just as long as you wear with confidence. Like, Ken wears that shit. He doesn't not care one bit if you say anything. And he wouldn't care what you think. He just likes wearing it, you know? Still, one of his most favorite lines ever that I use all the time is that you say something to him. And then he's like, ah, I think you're mistaking me with someone who gives a fuck. It's the coldest line ever.

And that was a Ken quote. That's Ken and the cowboy hat, dude. I was driving here this morning and I passed somebody that was pulled over and the cop that was pulling him over hopped out of his car right as I was coming by and he was wearing a cowboy hat. The cop was wearing, like a sheriff?

I think so. Yeah, no, no, it was a town cop. It was a town cop. Oh. And I was like, what's that guy doing wearing a cowboy hat? I thought he was like a bad guy in a movie or something.

Something like that. Dude, last night, last night I watched the movie Carry on. Oh, yeah, I got to watch that. It's on Netflix. Bro. Your heart is like thumping the whole time. It's two hours long, and it was like, I couldn't fall asleep for like three hours afterwards because I was just like, it was still going.

That's how it is after I play Xbox. Oh, yeah. I can't play Call of Duty too late nowadays. Really? I had a little, like, moment last night. It was 1130, and I was like, I'm going to play PS5. I'm getting on Cod. Nice.

You got a PS5? Yeah. And then I was like. He's playing on PS4. He's money, Mike. Yeah, I'm just surprised you can get an Xbox. Yeah. PS5 is more expensive, actually.

So are you that surprise? I started out as a PlayStation guy. But anyway, I was just like, you know what? I'm going to bed. And then, because, you know, like, if I would have started playing at 11.30. Wow, Mike. Yeah. I mean, Saturday morning, I had to, I woke up at 7.30.

And then I was like, well, it's my life now. What? Yeah. Like, like right now? Because I had to get gas and then I had to shoveled driveway and I had to leave at my age. This is my life now. This is my life now. Mike should have started doing that two years ago when he moved into that house.

but now he's finally like, I think I'm going to start, I think I'm going to start showing up on time. I decided this winter I'm going to shovel. Shovel the, and not just pack it down and drive over it. You're like, I should have started doing that two years ago, for the record,

been shoveling. CJ, do you get online and just, just dice up some 12-year-olds? I don't know if they're 12-year-olds or what. But you let them be laid out. I'm honestly, I'm good. And I'm not just saying.

It sounds so lame to say, but I am actually really. really good. And I even have like a couple snaps and I was going to post. I was like this too lame. But I have like documentation of me just tearing it up. Really? Yeah. I mean like I'm just I'm pretty good. What's your rank? Like what level

are you? I mean that's rather irrelevant because I don't have enough time to. If you're a low level you're in new blog. I'm like a level 42 already. First prestige? I haven't prestige yet. I'm just basic. Yeah. Yeah. So you're... No, no. Once you play long enough, it doesn't take that long. Like if you're dicing up right away, they're going to put you in

with the better players. This dude is passionate about this shit. No, dude, I honestly have always loved Call of Duty. Like I said a few podcasts ago, I used to play a shit ton of Call of Duty. Ryan knows for a fact when we were in college. I just gamed because I didn't have anything else to do. And then like he said, even a closer a few podcasts ago,

gaming is a waste of time. It is. It is. Following CJ's trajectory of like hating on it and then... I never said it wasn't fun. I never said it wasn't fun. And honestly, who gives a shit if it's a waste of time? Like everything, everything's a waste of time.

It just depends about what you care about. Honestly, like if you're having fun, there you go. That's what life's about. You know, Gavin was leaving yesterday, and he left some really good advice to Mike's Snapchat followers. He said this advice. I hear him say it all the time to people when people ask him for advice. He goes, stay in the gym and keep having fun, baby. That's his advice to everyone.

And honestly, I think that's great advice. It is. Stay in the gym and keep having fun. I'm going to do one and skip the other. Yeah. That's what I said to. Yeah, before. I don't even know any gyms.

Stay in the gym. All right, here we go. I'm just going to text this in the filming for you guys just so I can back up some of my stats. I was going to send it to you guys and be like everyone get on. Yeah, I was going to say you don't even have to send it. You don't have to convince me. I know that you dice them up.

Yeah. No, I was going to text you guys. Damn, you got a gaming monitor? Yeah, I bought one. Dude, I told you guys. You can't fucking play competitively when you're sitting on a couch with a TV up above your fireplace. Is this? Although I was tearing it up even when it was there.

Is this set up on your kitchen table? Yes. Do you have a dot on your screen? No, that's fucking cheat up. That doesn't work. It does work. It does work. It's cheating. It doesn't work that good.

I used to try that when I was kid. All right. Oh, for no scopes? Yeah, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't stay consistent. Yeah, but even for hip fires, it helps. Maybe. I never do it.

I just was curious. I tried that back when I was, yeah, I remember I had one, I had a tube TV, and I, I fucking had it on there. You get the piece of tape with them, yeah, yeah, I wanted you guys to play with me, but then I just realized, eh, I kind of like just not talking, just silence. Turn your mic off. Yeah, but it's still, what's the point? Yeah, then if we're all playing, I think it'd be fun if we were all chatting and you just had your mic on. Just, just slaying on his own. Yeah, yeah, that would be all right.

Well, damn boys, hey, Merry Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Yeah, Christmas Eve. This is live on Christmas Eve. This is great. This is great set, Ryan. I like it a lot.

Fantastic job. Yeah, I was just kind of doing some end of the year books on the podcast and was just looking at all the ads that I love to read. Probably write about time for one of those now. End of the year books. This is what we got to add to the show for it. The transition was insane. What books are you looking at?

No, no, no. There was some money left over. Somebody made some money. Yeah. So I went out and I bought these decorations, but don't worry. I wasn't selfish. I thought of you guys, too. Oh, wow.

You got us decorations, too? No way. Oh, dang. This is really nice, Ryan. I really hope. I should have got you something. I feel bad now. I guess I didn't write on this one.

I think this one's CJs. Ryan, you can fit a classic Christmas mix-up. Dude, you can fit a check in an album, right? I'm going to get like a vape. Ryan. Oh, that was for Evan. I'm going to get a king crab leg. Can we Yankee swap?

No, they're very tailored to you. Little office reference there for anyone that caught up. Why does Ben get the? It's a big one. Ben's definitely a mini flame thrower. We'll start out with Dalton in the back. Everybody's got a story, okay? This wasn't just about the money.

It's a Rolex. Sorry. Sorry. Oh, man. Well, don't undershine my gift like that. So Dalton's been grinding out there all year on the camera. Now it's cold. And I see him running around with no gloves on.

Oh, perfect gift. That's awesome. Ryan's watching. So I got you this pair. Are they fingerless so we can run a camera? It's pretty much useless. No, they're the thinnest heated gloves. on the market.

Wow. That's how it's a good good job. Let's see you. Take it for a test drive. Yeah, let's see it. Oh, do you have big hands or something? I have big hands. Oh.

We might have to return them. He's not looking like he's not looking like they're going to fit. Hey, they might as well keep them in the company. I'll get you some bigger ones. Those do look a little tot. Those were extra larges, I think. Really? Yeah.

Sometimes it just be like. Maybe they're youth. Jesus. They're women. Ryan, I mean. Like an OJ Simpson case over here All right, well Don't get the shot

My glove, my glove Man It's the thought that counts Thank you very much Yeah, I'll get you some that fit Because I actually think you need them Once they're on though It's looking a little better

It looks like you could definitely run a camera in those like So I thought sure dude Now once you're in Dude I can appreciate a nice thin pair of gloves Mike you can open up yours next And Spence Monke in with this All right, what do we got It's a box

Clocky the alarm clock. Let's go! I knew it. On wheels. Oh, so it runs around. It's a mobile alarm clock. Sorry. You have to chase it down.

It runs off of your night stand and then runs around your room. That is so good. Your cat is going to love that. That's really funny. Oh my gosh, Ryan. That is actually genius. I hope it's just like, ah!

Just screaming. That is awesome. I think you almost got to like hook that up to some part on your body, though. Because Mike doesn't really just wake up to noise. I know where you should hook it. Yeah, I got a longer bird and I got them. We come into Evan's room and he's got seven of them running. All tied to us.

All right, guys, I'm just trying to wake up. Just five more minutes. All right, I got the gloves on. I got them cranking. Can't confirm they are heated. They fit great. It looks like you just got to get them on. Yeah, and you just can't take them off ever.

That's fair. Once they're on. I mean, but you think you would run a camera in them, right? Yeah. Perfect. It does look like just an unnecessarily tight cuff on there. Yeah. Yeah, it does.

Maybe if you put the battery in after you put the glove on. Oh. Maybe. Maybe. Okay, can I open it up? Yeah, you can open up yours, but yours comes with a little story, but you can start opening because it's inside of the box. You know, like you used to be a fellow Corvette owner.

I know how much you love the Corvette culture. Go into the car meets, wearing the gear and stuff like that. And I feel like ever since you switched, you haven't had the same experience. So. Hey. Just let everyone know, you dick. I have a Lamborghini.

What else we got? I also got you a one-year subscription to the Lamborghini Club of America. What does that get me? It invites you to Monterey Car Week, and then you also get a sticker for the back of your Lamborghini. and you get a little black card, apparently, that comes in the mail. That's actually pretty sick.

Dude, thank you, Ryan. How much? CJ, bet you don't ask somebody how much they spend on your gift. When they bought you a membership to the Lamborghini Club. I wouldn't get too excited. I bought Ben a Lamborghini gift and he never used it. That's right. That in his office.

Dude, thank you, Ryan. I'm a problem, buddy. Thank you, bro. Here, let me toss it on. Let him know. I'm drawing a blank mic. What was your Lamborghini? That has.

That ages you. I think it looks great. Do I look like I own a Lamborghini? Yeah, you kind of make me not like you. You put it on and your profession does not look like a YouTuber. What would you think that I do wearing this hat looking the way I do? Professional nerd. I think you honestly look like you're in like a buy-sell supercar business.

Like I'm just holding it until I own it. No, you own a Lamborghini too, but you just help people. Do I know a lot about them? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know a lot, buddy. But you also look like you learned everything you know about them in like the last two years. You read every brochure.

Yeah, I'm probably going to just take it off then if you guys are cool with it. But thank you, Ryan. Yeah, no problem. The hat was actually just from Amazon. No, it would have been really funny, too, if you had the hat and then you had like a Lamborghini jumper. And like, imagine you pulling up in your Lambo and walking out. Like, everyone be like, what the heck? You went from being cool to just so lame.

Well, you asked about how much this gift was. And it's not the most expensive gift at this table. So without further ado, Siege, open up yours. Me? It's always the little ones that are the most expensive. Nuts? Whoaie. Oh, no way.

Oh, dude, you shouldn't have. It's a nutmaker? So I can't eat too many nuts at once? No, it's a single serve nut dispenser. That is brilliant, dude. I actually will use this. I know. Oh, my gosh.

And he doesn't like, he doesn't like anyone else's fingers in his nuts. I don't. I don't. This is actually really nice. I will use this. I know you will. It's going to fit in my cup holder. Yeah, let me load it up.

Thank you, Dalton. How sick is that? That's what started this whole thing. Shout out to Timu. This was Timu? Yeah, five bucks. Wow. I feel like I should wash it first.

Probably should. We'll test it out. Pretty sick, though, right? Ev, you want to give the backstory on my nuts? Homemade nuts. I mean, I don't think I really know the backstory. You're the one who seems to care the most about my nuts. You eat an ungodly amount of nuts.

And what are you caring about the germs? You raw dog nuts out of your denim pockets all the time. You just fill you to think of it. My pockets. My bucket. Did you ever put money, your cell phone, any other items, car keys in your pockets? For sure. Are those all dirty?

Yeah, no, it doesn't make much sense. For reference, I was using this spoon to eat the nuts out of the bowl like it was cereal while I was editing because I didn't want to get my fingers grimy and then touch my laptop. That's fair. But let's load it up. And the best part was we would kind of, we would try to. eat CJ's nuts here and there because they're pretty good. And then he's like, dude, don't finish them.

And then we're like, just get more. And then you're like, they're homemade. No, that's the thing. Jen, our chef, makes these for them. So they're raw cashews. She like roast them in avocado oil. And then like does this homemade seasoning on them. And they are actually super good.

So anyways, everyone was making fun of my nuts for a while. Like, you know, cracking jokes about it. And then finally I go, try some. Everyone starts trying them. Next thing I know, I got my. nuts out on tape, but people are walking over, put them in their hands. So I had to take my nuts and hide them somewhere. They just have just, like, the most distinct smell.

Like, you know that CJ's eaten as nuts if you're in the same shop as it. You had the glass jar. Now they're coming in a bowl. I think what, the glass jar can't fit enough at once. I don't know why, but you had a glass jar of nuts. And I didn't really know they were just yours. And I walked up and I grabbed a handful. And before I even get done to eat him,

through that lid on them so quick and sealed it up. I'm getting the hell out of here, dude. My bad. I kind of want to see how it works. You go straight into your mouth out of it? You're kind of like hungry, you know, like the camera goes down for a second and you're just like you pull this thing out. Nice. That's pretty good.

Not bad, actually. Back to the action. You could even maybe put like a like a fingerprint reader at the top so it won't even dispense unless your fingerprints on it. I know you want some. It's Christmas, man. Enjoy. Pretty damn good. All right.

Five bucks on Timu, it clearly was not the most expensive. No, it wasn't. And so before we get to Evans, I probably was tell you guys what I got Ken since he is sick and couldn't come today. I figured, you know, he's been working a lot. Is Ken's here? Yeah. Can I just open it? Yeah, of course.

It's kind of hard to tell what it is, but you can open it. Where is it? Because I'll just try and give my best Ken reaction. I love that idea. I love Christmas. Why is there a warning? Warning? Should I be concerned, Ryan?

Uh, a toilet table? Really? Well, Ken, I know you've been so busy in the merch bay that I figured I'd get you a table that you could attach to the toilet so you could be on the toilet and work. so he can prop his computer and work from the toilet

I bought that on Amazon they make everything bro what I gotta say he might use that where does this go it like this goes on the side of the toilet bowl and then this attaches with this screws on the bottom

I think Ken's gonna melt that plastic down it's not gonna withstand the heat the heat yeah exactly You like that, Ken? You're supposed to go, give a good sigh. And then what I was going to tell him is since I feel bad about borrowing his car

for the last month and a half, I was going to give him a buy one, get one free ticket to Vegas because I have a companion certificate, but it expires at the end of the year, so he's got to travel soon. But I figured you probably be pretty stoked about that. I probably already had one plans.

Yeah. Well, thank you, Ryan. No problem, buddy. All righty. Now, Evan, I was telling you earlier this week, he kind of got swanked, because I purchased yours off of eBay. Classic. And, you know, your favorite website.

Exactly. I just was trying to think. I'm like, what does my friend Evan like? Obviously, he likes drinks with the boys, gambling, dirt bikes, dirt bikes, all these things. Recreational. Sports. And so I go, okay, well, you know, I should try to get something, you know, that I'm not really that involved with in his life. know, and really try to bridge the gap in another way with him.

So I thought, oh, maybe I could find him like a cool pair of etnese or something like that, you know. Can't go wrong with that. Maybe a sign pair, perhaps. Wow. Let's just put it this way. Things got out of hand on eBay. And although it's not here, this is what I have purchased you. It is.

What? Oh. No. Yes. Bro. How much was that? It is assigned by Bam Margera, which he does now for money in 2024. He'll just sign a skateboard and go.

but I thought that's lame. This one's from 2004 when a real fan stood in line. Bro, that's actually insane. I want that, dude. That's so sick. I felt kind of bad. No, it was more.

I know for a fact it was more because I was looking at buying one for my house. I wanted to put it up on the wall. I was like, dude, that'd be sick to have a damn sign. That's got to be 750 bucks or a thousand. How much was it? It was 500 bucks. Damn, that's sick, dude. That's fucking sick, Ev.

That's so sick. You know what the craziest part is? Dalton doesn't even know who Bamar Jarrah is. That is crazy. He doesn't. That's because he was born in 2006. That was two years after this board was signed. You actually have one culture,

but I think it's very common that guys my age don't know who that. So you've never seen Jackass. Oh, I know you haven't because you told me. You didn't know what you looked at me like a deer in headlights. And then your mom was there because she was making us food. Jen is our chef Jen is Dolan's mom. She goes, she's like basically chimed in like he wasn't allowed to watch that. And then she also mentioned that.

He wasn't also allowed to watch us as a kid. Yeah, true story. Dude perfect only, right? Dude perfect only. I wasn't allowed to watch you guys until it was like 12 or 13. Well, Dalton did turn out like a pretty good kid, so maybe there is some. Definitely, definitely. It's hard to focus on anything except for the smell of CJ's nuts.

They smell good, though? It's just such a distinct smell. I normally hear they smell great. Congrats on that. Can I see that? That's a good, really good gift. That is one of the best Christmas gifts at all? And get given my entire life.

I would say, okay, one, great Christmas gift and two, it almost is like, Oh, so it has been skated. What could I get Evan that CJ would be 10 out of 10 jealous of them? I actually felt bad. I go, fuck, dude. CJ's going to be so jealous. CJ got a nut dispenser and Evan got a side. Timu nut dispenser.

Did you see his face when he first saw? I was actually, I'd be fucking pumped. I mean, if I'm not acting that pump, like I am that pump. That's very sick. Yeah, I don't really know what happened. And it just, that one just 10x the budget. But when I went to checkout, I like had a conversation with myself. I go, if this was my money, would I spend it inside of the company's money?

And I go, all right, it's going to be pretty legendary. I'll do it. Then I went to input the company credit card and eBay doesn't take Amex anymore. Oh, yes, that's right. So I did spend my real hard earned money. Nice, dude. That's a nice Christmas gift. Thank you, Ryan.

I appreciate it. That's really awesome. Yeah, dude, I was looking at getting one of those, and then I also wanted, like, a Rob Deerdick signboard, and I was looking on eBay, and they were like $1,000. If you wanted one that wasn't skated, and I was like, okay, I don't know if I want it that bad. Yeah, that's pretty cool, though. Very cool. Skateboards do make really cool art decor. Obviously, they're behind you guys right now.

I run the hookups boards on my wall. Yeah, yeah. Because as a kid, I always thought, though, they had the sickest graphics, and I guess I still do. I don't have a few of those. It's pretty insane how much we've been skateboarder. I guess, like Evan and I, but just like, in general, we released skateboards in 24, we got a skate park, we got skate ramps, we got a bunch of skateboards. CJ doesn't even know about our latest purchase. I think everybody else does, except for CJ.

I suppose we haven't had anything on Snapchat. Your little rail you bought? Exactly. It doesn't. Well, I walked in on you guys doing it, but, uh... Clip it. But I just saw the Snapchat of Gavin trying to drop in on it. Who let him do that?

I love all you put a helmet on this he dropped in on a quarter pipe but it's a mini quarter nice dude like two six foot two two tall six foot wide quarter pipe that's sick with like flip up on casher wheel so you just put them in the corner and they like pull them really and they're behind my okay's a mini see j you could skate it very easily you could skate it yeah i'd start skating dude like it's very tame and we got skateboards for you 2025 is going to be skating call of duty uh maybe some fishing we kind of did some fishing a week I like it up completely. I mean, all things.

And then, like, we actually all get good at golfing. I would love to be good at golfing. Actually, I just want to perfect my swing. Well, Mike, you should start with just. Let's walk before we get running here. Yeah, learn how to swing and then perfect. Okay, but I guess that's what I'm, well, yeah, I guess. I just want to do the most important, like, the hardest thing to do in golf.

Have a good, I want to get that right. That's true. Well, I feel like we only walk and don't do much swinging, you know, or drive, I guess, but. 2025 should be the year of SideQuest. Yeah, I like that. I think that like over the last couple years, but really 24, we tried to just double down on just like building the team out so we can almost just kind of get our lives back a little bit

while kind of just going on the same trajectory of making better videos and just growing the business and doing everything better. But with that, we want to just be able to live. We have not done a great job at all of that. We have not. honestly like our entire eight years the last eight years have just been basically just like everything you've seen on camera is pretty much everything that we've done very very rarely do we have a good time when the camera isn't rolling to you guys is probably well what's the problem in that

well the problem in it is in you almost forget what like living is like unless there's a camera rolling when you're doing that it's not like you're living really for yourself you're living for the content or you're living for just like you know the the sake of the video and I think that we're doing a good job of bringing people on the team to continue to make better videos, but now we have a little bit more free time, or I'm hoping that we have a little bit more free time in 25 to, like, have more time to ourselves. And then when we are on video, it's even better. People aren't going to believe it. But even when we added all these people to the team, we're still working just as much, if not more. Like this year? Like this year? Like this year, we're

still i feel like was heavier than 23 22 21 like those those years were like i kind of look back in them i was like man like that was like a lot of fun like it just seems like we were having more fun granted we're doing a lot better but like we're here at saturday i found out we were running the pod because i missed and i had jumped out of bed and you know i was playing on like lounging around but now i'm here again worked all day yesterday obviously because it's friday but we're always going which I want to do this, you know, but that kind of goes back to why I'm trying to get back into Xbox is doing things that don't necessarily have a result,

just doing something for fun. Yeah. Like when I'm sitting there, I'm just like, I'm just doing this literally for fun just to enjoy myself, not to like accomplish something, you know, or get something done. But yeah, no, it would be amazing to like be able to have a little bit of a life outside of this,

which at the same time, like, the line just became blurred because our life became what's on camera. So, like, you're like almost, you know what I'm saying? It is almost hard to disconnect, too. Like, when we are doing something fun, it's like, might as well film it. But when we are filming it, like, we're just focused most of the time

I'm making a good video. Yeah. There's a lot more you have to cover. There's so many things that we do. I mean, especially, like, Evan and I late at night. Like, most of them, we're just randomly. We're having fun. That's our hobby.

But, like, a lot of times we're doing something that's like, that would have been so good on camera. But bringing a camera in and creating a storyline out of whatever we're doing changes the entire dynamic of the activity you're doing. Not a bad thing, but changes it completely. Yeah, I mean, you guys do a great job of having fun. I think... Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything, but I was...

You guys are always having fun. I mean, you can have a 1 a.m. skate session anytime you want with a siege. Yeah, but the thing is, I got to get up and be here at 8 or 7 or whatever because I either got to edit, uh, We have meetings, Ben and I are in, probably do seven meetings a week with like different people, calls, you know, brand deals, fucking lawyers, financial, yeah, like, we always got something. So it's like, I got to go do that.

And then it's like, then we got film. So like me staying up until 1 a.m. to skateboard with you guys or hang out, it's kind of counterproductive, you know? I got to be able to get up and do some shit. And yeah, I guess, well, 1 a.m. was a bad example because sometimes it's 1 a.m. but like lately, dude, it gets dark at freaking 4.30. That's true, dude. We're like skating at nine.

Yeah, since the summer ended, we really have been shifted to scale way back. The new BMO ViPorter MasterCard is your ticket to more. More perks. More points. More flights.

I know it's the same every year, but it just is like in the summer, when it gets dark at 9, we don't really call it a day until like 9. And I'm not saying we call it a day now at 4.30,

but I mean, it kind of. I like it, yeah, it's different. I said it a while back. It's nice to get home a little bit. Yeah, sometimes it feels like 1 a.m. And you're like, oh, it's only 10. It's nice. Yeah, I do like that.

But yeah, Evan's ability, mainly Evans' ability to, like, be up late and then get up early is actually remarkable. Dude, thank you. I was going to say, I know I'm not always the best, but I usually get the ball rolling at a relatively decent time. Not that I'm always firing on full cylinders, but I'm usually there. I'm never worried about you. Like, you could go out and be drinking until 4 in the morning, and I know that you'll, if we already had plans set to be filming by 8, like, I already know that you'll be there. there like you're probably going to be feeling like shit and they'll be pretty visible but it doesn't really affect any of like you just still can just do everything and you know it just works fine i would

i would hate to have my good time take down the whole crew so i need to try my best to avoid that you know because that is we all rely on each other that's true so it'd be pretty selfish of me to yeah i'm never concerned about what you're doing at never i'm really not i mean all right i got to disagree on you there but yeah i'm not worried if he's if he's out at the bar i'm not like oh evan's not going to be there tomorrow oh but i mean i guess in that particular aspect yeah no worries dude 2024 was insane for the channel though we gained 1.2 million subscribers and we pulled 550 million views who 2003 000 comments which is kind of a that's just on youtube like we try to go through them all but that is a lot of comments a lot of words yeah a lot of

Yeah, it was epic. I mean, it was like our best year. We're going to top it next year. But like, dude, we did so much awesome shit. Insane numbers. We also rolled over a billion views on the channel. So, like, that kind of show is like... We did over a billion or we rolled over a billion in March.

In February, I think. So what is it at now? I think it's at like 1.5. Like, it's pretty crazy, dude. I didn't know that. I remember us talking about that a while ago that we were getting like close to a billion. That many views on YouTube is actually pretty insane. I think people maybe hear like 550 million views and then they compare it to like TikTok

views or like Instagram or Facebook, but those are much easier to get because they're just served as you scroll and they're also loops. So they're shorter videos. So like if you have a 10 second TikTok, it can get looped 20 times by one person or it gets served, you know, to people. So like whether they watch or not, like there's a view, you know, that's more so seen it whereas like youtube you click that thing you got to watch it it's it's much different of a number like the metrics are much heavier i think we're for sure the top 1,000

youtube channels yeah i saw that our subscribers i think like 900 something but it's pretty wild to think like how many youtube channels are there i'd be more concerned about like views per month that would really show your relevance because like you can have a shit ton of subscribers but don't post anymore yeah so like i mean yeah like we're in the top 1,000, but I would say, like, views per month would be how you determine how relevant you are. Like, Mr. Beast is pulling, like, I think a billion views a month. Holy crap, dude, that's a lot of sense. I think multiple billion. Yeah, it's insane. You guys watch your show yet? No, I have. I'm excited. I watched the first episode. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. It's like watching

a Mr. Beast video that's, that's longer. Like, it's just a little more drug out, but it was good. Like he said, but it's freaking crazy. So what's it on? What's on Amazon? One. Number one. 1.7 billion views that's what he did well check what like the number two is because there's probably after mr b said it's a drop off big drop he's the 13th for view rank it said wow which i don't even know that's possible what is in front of it is he even do shorts yeah he does any who i think we've just like put so much time in and it's it's like so nice to see like the fruits of our labor like kind of like proving to you know be successful now Like, it's all happened so slow.

Like, I don't feel like, oh, this big thing happened and we finally, like, quote, unquote, made it. Like, it was just, like, such a slow rolling and, like, it doesn't really feel like much has changed at the same time. I think about, like, all the TikTokers that, like, blow up overnight or just, like, anyone. Like, that's a big change. Anyone, I guess, that just becomes, like, an overnight sensation or a social trend or a meme even, like the boom guys. Haktua. Or a Haktua chick. Like all that happening in a couple months, you know, like, imagine that where you have like

zero time to get just like kind of used to it or, or like learn, you know, who's taking advantage or who's not or like, how should my voice be online or what some things that I shouldn't do? Like, Hawk toa drop like her meme coin. Oh, no. Whoever, whoever advised her to do that, they better get fired. I can't believe. Because now she's getting sued. Like she would, like sold it and then pulled money out of it, which is.

Yeah, she did rugpole. I'm sure she doesn't know what she's doing. That's the thing is like the most of those people that blow up that quick, it did happen by luck, which I think there's luck to everyone becoming successful on like one of these platforms. But like when they blow up super quick, you know that there was more luck to it than like thought and strategy. And those people most of the time seem to have the hardest time hanging around.

Whereas like us, for example, took so long. We had a lot more thought and like had action with purpose. purpose, you know, to make things happen. So, like, we have a little bit better of an idea as to what's going on and it didn't just happen, you know? Well, I mean, yeah, we have 500-some videos that we've uploaded. Basically, every single video we upload gets a couple more people, like, added to the or, like, same with, like, Cletus or whistling.

Like, they do things with, like, intention. Like, they're not just doing stuff, you know? Exactly. Like, no one at the top is just there by accident. Yeah, it's not really luck once you get to. that point yeah and you stay relevant you know yeah probably most important like you said after many years of it if you were able to stay you know they know what they're doing they're not just doing stuff getting lucky every once in a while there will be a group that comes along that's like five guys

that are like kind of doing the same thing that we were doing like back in the day like same style of video like somebody you know was like hey we should do that gets a camera and just starts filming them right and they'll pop up on our recommended and i'll watch them they got like 150 view and just like see what what it's all about and uh it is like kind of refreshing to see like oh yeah this is like what it used to be like for us i just remember it each person has like their own like character or friend group even like in all these different random channels like you can immediately just like pick out like who kind of does what who who is the brains of like picking up the camera who tells people like no we should do this who is like the kid that just

shows up on like the weekend and has like the fun time or like the charismatic attitude dude and if they would just stick with it for like long enough and just like do the right things of like coming up with good ideas and like being okay with making zero money for a long long time and like I don't know I think you just like stay consistent like it's not really a secret yeah and the hardest part too is like getting along like the group not like falling apart or like there was like a one channel or or Instagram page that was like I thought doing a pretty decent job and then like three months in i saw they were making like why i left something something and i was like dude you guys have been doing it for like three weeks you guys are already making like why i left

this channel videos there's more to it than just staying though consistent i think well obviously but you figure it out yeah if once you do it after long enough and you just continue to chip away at it you just kind of figure it out like we figured it out just by doing it ourselves and then once you do it long enough you meet people and then you can get some tips and tricks I mean we were sitting down though like I'd say about 2019 and was like okay we need to make some changes here like this is not working how can we make this work and then it was like at least I'll say for myself like I was studying like successful YouTube channels like what are they doing that makes it work and like that's honestly what you kind of have to do and you have to like pick apart those things and compare it to your content so like whether it's your thumbnail your title your idea camera work the editing all that and like you kind of got to figure out how to take that and involve your content as well as staying consistent like what you're saying what you're saying what do you guys feel like you learn more from something when somebody does it well or when somebody does something poorly and you see the poor like the bad side of it and you go oh we definitely like

don't want to do something like that probably the i mean a mistake for sure i would say the mistake it seems pretty easy to see when someone does something wrong and go yeah don't do that one last thing on kind of what cj was saying you guys like i just had this thought that something that would help it doesn't mean you're going to fail but don't get together as a friend group if you're trying to do a group and get together to make YouTube videos like that was the kind of beauty of us we didn't get together to make YouTube videos we were together and decided to make YouTube videos which I'm sure it'd be the case for a lot of friend groups but you know it'd be like oh yeah should we call up so and so and be like yeah we're going to start a YouTube channel and then have them like come

start doing videos with us and stuff and then like build your crew off of the idea of a YouTube channel that is probably when you'd run into some arguments because you were never you're just there for that reason yeah yeah not there for like the friendship so your your baseline personalities might be like two different whatever yeah it's like it's like content houses yeah like yeah they never been a single content house that works it yeah yeah because like they're just too different like i already know your guys's opinions on things so like that helps like i don't need to be like oh i didn't know you felt that way yeah i think we just got like pretty lucky with our dynamic of like there's not too many people that are like think the same exact way that would like butt heads you know like everyone kind of has like

their different lanes and different roles and like you kind of just trust the other people's opinions and very rarely is there like opposing views that like collide because yeah to the point where we're like i'm not on board yeah almost never yeah pretty much yeah we all we don't bounce like this we like bounce ahead, right? You know, like just off each other and keep going. Deflect forwards. Yeah, wait, Ryan, what did you get for your gift? We haven't opened it yet.

Oh, I didn't give myself to gift. I just wrote myself a check. Money. I don't need a little money. You've been writing those. You've been gifting yourself all year. No, that was the first, first year-end bonus. I mean, obviously the quarterly's and the bi-weekly payments. But yeah, this is my hammer, but you can have it.

Mike's going to give you his hammer. It's nice to you, Mike. though is used dirty hammer that was my hammer thanks dude what should i do with this well keep it don't be rude thanks mike wow dude i uh i blew the head gasket in my raptor this week oh yeah oh yeah yeah pretty bad like oh three days after he got it back from getting the timing chain replacing the camphazers and that was a 4,000 plus dollar job never maintenance anything i know dude yeah Benny!

Wenny! Oh, no. That's cool it. She's the weed, brother. Oh, that's fine. Just a little fitting. No, you blew a head gasket, and you're pressurizing your cooling system. Oh, whatever about.

That's a V6 thing. Get the hell out of here. I pick your wrapped up. I'm like, damn, Ben's doing some solid maintenance on this thing. It felt good, dude. Getting that chunk out of the way is a hefty repair bill. and then head gasket blown. Yeah, a couple days later.

You just had her on the chip for too long. I don't know if you can, you definitely don't. 60 seconds. Dude, no, that's the crazy part is like, you can't have your V6 Raptor bouncing off the chip for, for 45 seconds? Dude, the VA Raptors? What world are we living in it?

Your head gasket was probably already like on its way out. And then your cams were phasing so good. And they just, yeah, they were almost phasing too well. Yeah, I think they phased too hard. Yeah, that's maybe possible. You made the other, and too good you made the one part of the engine run strong and then this part was like not able to keep up yeah dude after it happened um yeah i was out a vehicle because i was getting winter tires put

on my uris and so i was like trying to figure out like oh shit i need a i need a vehicle to drive i was like ryan when is your hummer gonna be done so i can start driving ken's bronco so made a couple calls and i was i texted actually the shop that did my rebuild on my raptor and i was like yo get me back on your schedule. I'm pretty sure I just blew a head gasket. And then the owner called me like a couple minutes later and was like, dude, what, what happened? What happened? Like, I just don't understand. And I was like, oh, this isn't on you guys for fixing it last week. I was bouncing her off the chip. Like, this was 100% on me. And he was like, you sure? Like it's, you don't think it would like, could have been like from what we were doing. I was like, bro, no, I was

hooning the shit out of it. And then this happened. And he was like, okay, that makes a lot more since because I felt really bad at first. But, yeah, pretty unfortunate. That truck's out of hard life. That you can't do that. That truck has probably spent hours on the rev limiter if you added up all the time. You're talking about the two minutes when it blew. Strata broke the camels back.

Yeah. Yeah, so I was doing it actually on Gavin's video. And so I kept telling him, I was like, dude, you break so much stuff on our videos and we pay for it. You know, it's just the cost of content, right? Is our roles reversed here? or where are we at here because, you know, I was hooning out for your video and then I blew it. And he was like, oh, all right, baby, half.

And I was like, half, that's the best you can do. Half? We just built your truck. Yeah. I'm going to start giving you stuff and then be like, all right, you got, you're going to pay for half, right? That's funny. Love that guy. Are you thinking about maybe looking to a Chevy now?

I almost should. I've seen what Evan has done to those things and they keep on chugging. At the very least, you know, just grab a $5,000. as a backup. Can I just borrow one of this? Well, unfortunately, most of mine just need a little bit of work at the moment. You just need another $5,000 backup.

Yeah, exactly. We've been going through some rigs. I know, dude. We've been going through some rigs. Mike hasn't had a car to drive here the last couple, which is crazy because Mike's bought like seven vehicles. I was going to say that. Like, it is pretty comical when, like, I'm out of car.

Like, it's actually crazy. But I sometimes I get careless with it. So, super. No, you don't say. Subaru needs something, goes in the shop. And then they're like, when do you need it back? I'm like, I got cars. And then get the Bronco in the shop.

Well, when do you need it back? I got cars. And then, like, you know, the BMW just got ceramic coated. I think I got to park this thing. And like, I can't drive that in the winter. But then I'm just like, damn, I got no cars. Dude, what happened to your other BMW about on shit tank? It's a shit.

So what do you mean? Why do you, how is it shit? The drive shaft is like, No. And then... Dude, who would have thought, too? Yeah, I know. So you got ripped.

Well, the drive shaft is probably like, if that's the only problem with it, that's cheap. You'd be lucky, but I have a feeling that's not the only problem. So what else? Because I've seen you, I saw you drive it around a little bit. The rear diff is welded. And, you know, like, when you weld the rear diff, it doesn't mean, oh, it's welded. I mean, you could weld it bad. You could weld it good.

You could weld a good. But I think it needs a new diff. I don't know. Well, but here's what I'm saying. scared i want to just take it to scott and be like i just want it drivable and not have them be like well dude this thing needs everything it's not just not worth it drivable but that's the thing is like what do like i i overpaid for it realistically and so like what do i just take sell for pennies on the dollar i still like five six grand into it keep it light no don't be done listening to this guy

if there's anything you can learn from watching it back do the opposite of what evan suggests financially and we were having a good time though yeah that was awesome dude i was trying to help you too i was sitting behind the camera like this just no no don't do it no don't buy like i'm trying to help you on especially on the BMW i was doing it with the snowboard with the BMW it was very polarized they put on my story and was trying to help people agreed they're like yeah dude and you know they're like i can't believe you bought that piece of shit and then other people probably BMW guys are like, no, dude, that thing is sick. Dude, it's so funny.

BMW guys are so stupid, though. They think that, like, that's the greatest car ever made. And the thing doesn't even go down the road. There was so many comments, like, that thing will go forever. And it couldn't even leave the garage. But, okay, I mean, I guess that is not true, but I... It went down the driveway. It went down the driveway.

You turned around and you said, this thing had some serious problems. Yeah, I mean, I still, like, drive it to the C store. I drove it to TJ's. That's three-mile. That's one mile to the left and two miles to the right. It's got $199,000 on it? 190. Oh, just a baby.

Yeah, it's better than not being able to drive out of the shop, I guess. But yeah, anyway, I don't know what the plan is with that. Also, that doesn't have wintered tires, so, like, it's a rear wheel drive. I could have saved you some serious money if I was on that panel. But honestly, it probably wouldn't have been as funny. The video would have been junk tank. Everybody didn't know. There was a few, I mean, there was a few other ones that we didn't end up going with.

and, like, you know, like, can't have the bit freaking 25 minutes long. So, like, those didn't make it in, but, like, I had to say no to some of them. Like, it was. It was. So, like, I said no to, uh, just a Jeep. There was just one thing that you did buy that we shouldn't show was a Jeep. Oh, okay. But yeah, the electric S-10, man, that thing was like, I just wanted to be like, don't even. Oh, really?

Back in out, though. Yeah. You hated that from the start. That was the only one that you weren't like in treat. $25,000 for an electric. There's only 17 in existence. That was probably the only good investment. to be fair. That electric

S-10 was probably the only good investment out of all of those and you hate that one the most. Dude, I did. It was like 25 grand for a literal paperweight and even when it worked in its prime when it was brand new, you could only drive it 60 miles total

at 45 miles an hour. That is the biggest joke I've ever heard. It was a lot of money. But realistically you just save, you keep it and I think it's kind of a collector thing that you could possibly sell to a museum. If I'm going to collect a $25,000 car, it just would never be that. What if it was an electric Ford Ranger? Yes. But the thing is, is that honestly, can we talk

on that S-10 for a second? That's so cool. What year was that? What year was that again? Mid-90s, I don't know. 96. They were making, they were making electric, like, I can't believe they tried doing that. And what do you say, they made a thousand of them and they crushed? They took back. They took all of them back, crushed them. And there was, like, only a few. you left an exist. I thought I heard the batteries in the ocean. That's what he said.

But yeah, dude, honestly pretty cool that they were even thinking about that. But just technology was not anywhere near where it needed to be for that actually to work. Oh, the batteries were a whole truck bed. Yeah, they basically just linked together a bunch of like regular batteries. And they had the batteries in the truck bed, which I was like, so why is there? No, they're supposed to be under the truck. From what I remember the guy saying, they're supposed to be under the truck. But because they were maybe trying to get the batteries to work or whatever, they were like,

temporarily in the back of the truck when it was new they shouldn't have you should have had a it was cool though with the with the plug in on the side I did like the logo yeah the cup with the logo that was so sick I I thought it was cool and it was I mean I'm glad you didn't buy it though honestly you could do a lot a lot better with 25 I guess also we we would have blown the budget showed up with 25k you know I mean if you want knows I wouldn't have been able to talk him down we could have loaned I got a handful of messages about that brother we need to work on your negotiating stuff you're telling me uh the people have spoken and they want junk tank too yeah yeah you need some mike you better start saving up time to save up

some money can i be on the panel again yeah yeah so how do you how'd you feel about your advisors like did you think that your advisors did you well yeah yeah i guess i honestly i do but like i also felt like my advisors weren't like real no matter what you and and ken like said yeah they Licker was speaking. It was just happening. However, it was rolling out in my head. I wonder what would have made it feel less real? Less real?

Maybe it could have changed the perception of the best. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like anyone, it could have been like you and CJ and it still would have been like, I probably would have listened to you this exact same amount. Yes, no. Yeah, well, we thought that Ken was going to be more of a no man, but he was more for spending your money than damn near Evan was.

Evan was like, tell him $7.50 and Ken is like, tell him $1,500. Yeah, that was funny. I love when Ken's like, well, let me look up what this cost. And then F and just like, take the money and go get it now. Do you think it would have helped if you didn't go on a 4 a.m. Bender the night before? Maybe. I don't know.

You were kind of loose in that. Which helps, I think. I had a mimosa. I thought that Mike was kind of in his prime in that moment. Oh, no. I thought he was like, you were in the pocket. I thought he was in the pocket. As soon as I showed up the next morning and you were just like, you were zombie mode, but you were there.

And I was like, where's Mike? And you're like, dude, probably sleep in. We're out until 4 a. No, I wasn't with Mike. I went to bed like a good boy. Wow. I was hanging with Slim. No, I was saying him was Slim and my girlfriend.

Mike was losing his phone at the bar. We come in and we're like, Mike was out until 4 a.m. He didn't know that we had a big call time at 10 where he's got a, Mike is the show. It's money Mike's junk take. I was up at 9. I woke. I was calling people the night before because they had said. they were going to come back to the shop, and I'm watching the clock, and it's one,

it's two, it's three, and I see Mike's location is still at the bar. I started getting worried, start making calls. We got a big, big deal going on tomorrow. You got to get, we got to find Mike. I was home at 2.30. Still late as heck, but you checked the location and it was still there. Yeah, then the next morning, when it's like seven, it says you're still there. I'm like, all right, something's up here.

He's not still there at seven. When I showed up and Mike comes down the stairs and he was already in his suit, my suit actually that he's looking the way he does he's still he's still drunk from the night before and i say something and he responds with some witty-ass response or like some smart-ass response i was like oh yeah this is perfect yeah mike's in the pocket i was like yeah he's almost like didn't really want to do it but we're just like all right mike they're all here getting your chair it's one of those other moments where like i am learning to embrace it but again how ken feels when we're like ken this is what we're doing you're the star do the thing which he's

is incredible at yeah you did an awesome job too incredible that's what in situations like that yes you want to play into it but you also like want to be yourself like kind of convey like how you're actually feeling about the situation i was excited to buy stuff but i was also stressed i don't want to blow the budget but i wanted cool stuff i didn't want to get swanked got swanked pretty hard by a lot of people i have one request for junk tank too i guess i can't stop you from doing this we can't stop you but like going to facebook marketplace buying something for like dirt cheap and then like coming it's hilarious but like also next what doesn't mean they did it directly for you maybe they just bought it i agree so like had it it's a blurry line but i was like

i kind of want to i want someone to bring something that they had fun with with the story like we tried we tried dude it was incredibly hard thousands of entries yeah thousands harley drift tracks the guy with the scooter like that was a good stuff i just love that he's like this is the death scooter a lot of people crashed and really broke her teeth and broke her arm or something And so we're ready to let her go. And I'm like, all right, I like that story. A lot went into that, though, of like, one, finding the people, finding them local, seeing who's real.

Yeah. And then seeing who can come, who can come at the right time. Yeah. You know, there's, like, so many things. And then when they do come, are they actually going to show up? Yeah. Because we had a couple people that just, like, that were so good. I probably had, like, straight up eight no shows.

That were so good. Holy. Of, like, things that we thought would have added to it. Like, one was like, a wide body. A wide-bodied smart car. It was so good. I was like, a noop. A noop.

Fuck that guy. Dang. Sorry, unless you're real. I thought you're fake. I'm sorry. But he was like, I'll be there in 20 minutes and never showed up.

He was fucking what you do. Yeah. It was just some fake account. Yeah. Oh, I'm just down the road. Yeah. It was like, I'm just late.

I think next time, though, we'll make sure it's some better stuff. Like, it won't be junk. Like, I think there should be like a viper that rolls in. Like, you've always wanted a viper. I mean,

it depends how money Mike's feeling that day. We did preface that. Like, I love that idea, but I also hate it because, like, yes, I really want a viper. So, like, you're going to have to buy it. Exactly. So, like, and then what if I'm like, it's not the color? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're going to be so revved up.

I think you should just buy a viper bike. It's winter. Now. No. It doesn't matter if it's winter. Your money, Mike, you do things that don't make sense. That's why. That's what you do.

Buy one now. They make snow tires, don't they? Yeah. Mike, you need a car. Anyways. Yeah, you're down a rig. I'm not. Trade in the beach.

BMW, the shit tank one. Find someone a junker already. It doesn't even pay for the tax title license. It doesn't even cover the tax title license. No, yeah, I've been looking. There we go, Mike. I'll trade you a white suburban for it. Just needs a transfer case for that BMW.

Are you talking about the Hinder Finder? Yeah. Straight trade. That thing's a piece of shit. You don't want it. Yours is a piece of shit. You don't want it. No, that's what I said.

Oh, I thought you meant the Hinder Finder Finder was a piece of shit. No, that's not a piece of shit. Oh, thank you. Windshield's broken. But other than that, it's good. Would have done that. Thanks, Ben. Well, fellas, Gav just walked in

And I can only mean one thing Is our new race trailer here? It is. Hey! Is it sick? It's fucking sweet. Is it big? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. When the guy pulled up with a 34-foot trailer today, and I went, oh, no. This trailer's big. It's just huge. We've had one. How big is it? 48. 48.

48. I was thinking 44. 48. How long is a semi? It's huge, boys. 48. Yeah. So we made a end of the year purchase that we'd, been honestly wanted to do for a long, long time.

Five years. Yep. And we finally said, you know what? This is the time. We got to bite the bullet, spend the cheddar. And we bought a 48 foot fully enclosed race slash car trailer. So we were looking at getting like a decked out snowmobile trailer that would also work for like side by sides and four wheelers and all that. But it heated and speakers and all that stuff, right? Because we've been rolling around with our our bumper pole 34 footer. 32 footer. And it's been great. Honestly, we've put hundreds of thousands of miles a lot of miles has been everywhere dude it's been across the country back and forth probably 50 times yeah and to canada yep but we we uh bit the bullet and we bought a new trailer and it is sick the reason we kind of went with the trailer that we got is

because it's also car trailer right yeah it was just interesting like we've been wanting a trailer and we're like should we do bumper pull should we do goose neck and we're like we don't want it too big because you know we all want to essentially be have the ability to drive it which like that i mean again we know ryan's got it but 48 feet so when you're sending these in the group chat i'm just like 48 feet like i just remember when we went remember our steely lake trip with sizzler that trailer which we thought was the biggest trailer we'd ever seen ever been in that's 48 feet yeah it's just it's gonna be a game changer for us though because we can fit everything yeah in it i'm already gonna put this out there we're going to run out of space oh 100% we're just going to bring more stuff we're

gonna be like uh what are we taking and what are we leaving we're we're capped out we're bringing everything that can possibly fit in this trailer it'll be nice being to have two cars in an enclosed trailer as well you know and just everything i mean the the heaters having a heated trailer to go into on chilly days like i mean i'm just thinking even when we were in moab that one day and it was like raining and it was a little cold yeah you're working on it outside the trailer that we have just wood, a couple of lights, that's it. It was a trusty Steve, but it's time for new one. Does it have a canopy on it?

No, it doesn't. We could put one on, but remember when we were in Moab and we left the canopy on the RV out, we went riding, and it fucking ripped the whole thing off. Like, we messed that RV up so bad. That was the 10 put in his head through the shower first day, fucking broke the, shattered the door. Then we ripped the canopy off. Like, they were, we brought that thing back just like,

Hubcap missing. They're like, what happened? We're like, yeah, we'll pay for the damages. Yeah, I was talking with the guy who rents it to us. And he was like, yeah, they pretty much just come back and we just send them to auction. He's like every time. He's like, we just send them to auction after that. Because the thing's pulling a trailer that it's not supposed to be pulling.

Yeah, that one might have just literally on the ship the whole time. That frame might have been. Oh, he said it was. Compromise. We bent the frame? Like the frame was pretty bent. Just from pulling. Yeah.

I mean, it was like a 10,000 pound trailer. I think it's braided. for a bike rack. Well, that's kind of, that's kind of what I found out. Rated for 500 pounds, and I was like, I literally was,

dude. Oh my gosh. Bike rack. Not even a trailer. You're right. Bro, how did we make it to California and back?

We did it twice. Luck, brother. Luck. That was so fun. So I don't know how, how big exactly the gas tank is on the RV, but I know we're running like a 5-4 Triton,

freaking Ford motor, pulling that trailer with an RV. And normally we'd trade off every gas stop. So in my eyes, when I'm driving, the quickest way I'm getting out of this seat is with an empty tank. So I literally would not lift my foot from the pedal. It'd be like two and a half hours. Oh, just, right over.

85 miles an hour, 60, 5. Yeah, it would vary anywhere between 60 and 85. It just depended on what the road and the wind and the hills were, but never lift. Ben's Raptor could never. Dude, it would be so cooked. Yeah, actually shout out to the Triton. That's a good motor.

Yeah, that's pretty impressive. We took it over I-75 with no trailer brakes. That's through like veil and Aspen. Yeah, that was scared. It's like the most. And all of us sleeping. And I'm in the front pouring sweat. It's a snowstorm at fucking 6 a.m.

We're like, we got to get to Moab tonight. You guys are all in the back snoozing. It's a blizzard and we're going down that hill with no trailer brakes. I got a video of it, I think, because I was in there with you. I remember just from the mindset when we're doing that. is like this is a really bad idea but we chuck on we just kind of accept it whatever's going to happen happens and we're just kind of in there and you get comfortable so then you're just like well time to sleep might as well not be tired or some of the pickles we'd get into whether it was like the dead end streets

in san diego that was gnarly or when we tried to find a locksmith because we wanted to get some keys for the trailer and ben pulled into like a little chinese restaurant with a one one way in straight up a hill and like enough room for like 10 cars to park in this parking lot. We got a 60 foot rig. I'll have to be a little smarter with this trailer. I think that's also maybe one of the craziest stats is how many days that trailer spent unlocked in Vegas. Oh my God.

And also just kind of anywhere. We've had flatbed trailers in Vegas, which is like pit bikes sitting on it or whatever. Just duffel bags in the freaking seats and everything. Whoa. It's actually crazy. I know people always say They're like oh I can't believe you take your rigs to Vegas and park them And I'm like no they're unlocked

They're sitting there with the bikes on the back like it's I've really grown to love that parking lot I'm not sure what it's outside of don't don't say where it is Yeah yeah yeah but I've really grown to just like that's like stomping grounds in Vegas yeah we don't have to be rolling our new trailer has locks locks Which is what the other one did too we just lost the keys They were there were so we could truck we sold the seammen truck i found them found them no way i go why were they in the sema truck can we get a number lock

like a keypad or something that would be good uh what are we going to pull it with boys we also got a new truck what um big wrench was saying we're going to need a duly but i think we prove them wrong with a normal pickup yeah is it even a 35 it is a 35 yeah so that's good yeah we looked it out in the trailer max loaded is 320 pounds less than the max tone capacity of the truck okay so we're actually good i was going to say like is there interest i think in the grand scheme of things like an airbag set up on the back might be a good idea totally worth but if it's under we're good dude and the thing is trucks are always way underrated you can damn your double that's what i have to yeah everything's always

well at least on half ton Chevy so i don't know what you can do with a one ton probably triple it i agree normally it's like the manufacturers just playing it real safe you know so like you can you can push it but yeah man i just i just want to say like thank you guys for like supporting us and in our merch and like putting us in a position where we can buy cool things like this trailer because we've been just like grinding it out with our old one for so long of like boys I just don't think we can justify buying like spending this much cheddar on a trailer and now we're just like we're doing it we're doing it I don't know it's just like a really cool like just kind of splurge I'm just so happy I'm so happy and definitely going to be worth it in the longer yes for sure

investment yeah big investment not a splurge it's an investment Saving, I mean, time is money. And it's weird enough to say it will save us time. It'll just make me or all of us a lot. Save less time. No, save more time. Save more time. We've also like, man, we still ask like so many, we have so many good friends that just

let us use their stuff. Still. Yeah. But like our buddy Mark or Tony, Jake's business partner lets us use his goose neck trailer or our buddy Spencer lets us use his car trailer. So we do have like really great people around us that about just like, just like really helped us out forever and like it does feel good too when people hit us up now and they're like yo um like our buddy Cody hit us up and was like yo I uh I'm putting cabinets

in my house can I use your guys as snowmobile trailer our old one we're like yeah absolutely he's like not many people have that big of like an enclosed trailer yeah take it he's like thank you it's like yeah that feels pretty good finally repay the favor yeah trailers are just like the most homey hookup thing ever. Yeah, they are. Like the dream would just to be a, have a fleet of one, every kind of trailer. Yeah. Your flatbed, your skid steer, your side by side trailer. I've been loving the fact that Gavin left his little aluminium trailer up here. I've been ripping that thing. I think is perfect. All the lights work, which is crazy. He just ripped the fenders off it for some reason. So it kind of makes a mess. And I don't think it's legal to not have fenders. So, but we got lights.
