Which is really selfish of Micah. Because now we've had to really toned down our humor. Because they just don't hit like they used to. They don't. You know what it is typical? I'm getting way too aggressive. Us being here and waiting on Micah. I see him walking.

He actually gotten way better about it, though. He has. But I mean, now he's like, still not good. Still, yeah, he's to the point of like a 14 year old. You know, I feel like he's constantly in the mindset of, you know, when your mom was like, hey, take out the chicken, defrost the chicken before I get home so I can make supper. And then you forget. And then right before she gets home, you go, oh, shit, I forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer.

That's like his life. Like he doesn't meaningful try to slow us down, but he always does. Ryan, you have analogies for everything, dude. it's my only talent you know who has better analogies than you though your dad randy has the best like one-liners dude yesterday um him and our buddy mark we're talking about buying a truck and and uh randy goes oh what color did you get and mark goes ah red i don't really like the red i don't like some of the options and randy goes hey you know what they say though you fuck what do they say

You die. You won't die with it unless you die in it. Well, that's actually a pretty good one. Yeah. It was very quick to be like, damn, Randy, that was good. The only person that had better one-liners was Jake's dad, though, Dave. God, that guy was a savage. Still is, though.

We don't see him anymore. But I'm sure he still is, honestly. I'm sure he's out there making crude joke somewhere. Mike, you coming? We kind of running it. What are you doing? Christmas lights. Christmas lights?

We got Christmas Mike. Christmas Mike. What about the one podcast that's going to put up on Christmas stuff? What about the one that we put up today? That's true. This one would go up the day before Christmas. All right, Stephen, come on. We'll take a shortcut.

probably or we can keep talking doesn't matter you just you're pretty you're in it I think honestly yeah you're committed just finish this out that was maybe a little bit much tape is it ASMR or is it Asmere? Asmr

who's ever called it Asmere Me I don't I don't know you just look at something It's like what do you used to call Memes or something like that? No I never, I never did such a thing.

Was it C.J? No, it might have been C.J. I know it was Britain. That's funny. May-May's. I mean, you see this, May-May? Not one of you, well,

I would maybe do it to trigger you, Ken. Mamey. But C.J. might actually do that because he has a hard time with words sometimes. It's like C.J. calling Wi-Fi with us. Well, that's different. I feel like that's just a part of his person. personality now with a this one might be a little short mic my bab that one's shorter yet short mic short tape mic cold mike cold mike cold mike cold mike cold mike

dude can is so fucked he's driving his bronco through the car wash with no doors how many likes we have 100% i think we're all doing it though i i i like doing that i think it's fun but you've been doing that on the weekends lately haven't to yeah yeah I'd like to go get just like whatever vehicle and run through but I'm sure he's going to have something great to say here Ken if you sit down and say anything about not agreeing to it stand up right now I leave I remember when we did that in the uh what was that that shitty dodge without the roof

and we did that in like April and it was freezing yeah it's gonna be cold Ken it's gonna suck your car has heated seats it doesn't matter if you have heated seats when it's like 10 degrees out have you ever had pneumonia ken no but i think i'm about to experience it yeah it'll be well add another one to your list all right steve you ready i just had to add that yeah no but it would be pretty freaking funny just to like let ken go through by himself just one it'd just be so weird it'd be like the clip would be hilarious that you know it's like

part of like excitement of it is like you're like laughing with your friends and like Like your friend's getting sprayed, but you're not at that time. So it's funny. But if he's just in there by himself, he's just going, like, it would literally just be a clip of Kenson. They're just going, oh, oh, oh, oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, that's going to be fun, though. All right, should we intro it?

Yeah. Intro, Mike. Well, we're back for another podcast. It is Friday. I know it's not Friday when you're, listening to this it might be but we're happy to be back we're uh we're on the grind lately it's just been boys podcast which is honestly what i enjoy i mean i enjoy having guests too but it's great so uh welcome back to life wide open podcast c j ryan and ben here we got jamie in the back working the cams

we got tint mark watching a little audience and we are wildly close to hitting 100 k if we haven't hit 100k by the time this podcast goes live i will be a bit disappointed but if we haven't it be great if you guys could help and subscribe but yeah last i checked it was 99.6 so we're nice and close should hit it should hit it that was a phenomenal intro mike thank you intro mike we don't call him intro mike for nothing this guy my favorite one from the last video is when i you guys are just like cold mike cold mike well and there's a lot of go pro mic comments too dude that was so funny yeah so if you guys haven't seen that like we definitely knock that off from the train guy on tic-tok he's like the inventor of that view but how funny was that yeah it looked

so silly oh dude run it little arms yeah that was the that was probably the best angle is you run it because you look so small and you look just so like innocent because you're just focused on one thing and that's just like get into the car and it's like it's like if you were to throw it on a dog that'd be a really funny view of just a dog just like running through that actually would be the life jacket looked like my body yeah yeah exactly favorite comment from the last podcast was somebody commented you guys should change your name to steve boys tvs that'd be a great parody account dude talk about the depth of meme on that one it'd be our whole channel would turn into an inside joke steve boys tv someone make that

instagram account basically if we say anything someone makes an instagram account for it there's already like two pink eye mike instagram accounts there's like a handful of jona handful of cheddar There's a jet ski Ryan Regular Ryan There's a ton of little like There's a ridiculous amount of fan accounts And we still can't get verified It's typical to complain about that

If you're not verified You complain about not being verified right But seriously It would be nice It would be nice I mean it's about who you know Honestly it really is Personal pages is one thing

Because we don't really have that many followers On personal page But the C-Boys page I feel like Come on Yeah it's got About 340,000 followers and gets like pretty good views on videos and gets a ton of videos reposted and you know like you

fan accounts there's like literally 50 fan accounts yes exactly and that's part of the criteria to get verified and you have to be like an LLC and have like a like a EIN number which is like you're basically like your tax number to show that you're like a business which Instagram wants to see to verify and we have all that and then every single time we apply they're just like nope yeah I'm telling you it's about who you know it's because we didn't post all those reels when they wanted us to. That might be why. Yeah, they,

Instagram, like, bombarded us to post reels because obviously they're trying to keep up with TikTok. So. We tried it, but I don't know. It's just, we're not really Instagrammers, you know? That's not really a thing. I don't like that the reels don't show views over. Yeah, it's pretty dumb.

I'd rather have them show views more than, like. Yeah. Why is that? Videos never get more, like, more, like, some pictures. I don't know. I think it's because, like, I don't find myself. Yeah, I forget. I watch it and go, that was awesome.

The video of you jumping over the quad is one of our most liked post on Instagram, though. Really? For sure, dude. It's almost got like, like, 70,000 likes on Instagram, and it's like a, it's like a series of videos, which is like super. Whenever you do a string, it's likes, not views. I saw one of Evans, one of Evans Reels, Cypress Hill. I don't know if you guys know who that is, but I don't know who that is. Okay, it's, you know, 2000s, baby.

No, he's like a 90s rapper. Did he start rapping in the 90s? Earlier, but he reposted Evan's video. And on the same video on Evans page, there's 2.6 million views. That is crazy. So I was like, wow, nice. And then that's like who Evan grew up listening to. So that's pretty dope.

What? Yeah. Dude, that's sick, actually. He was pretty hyped. It's so cool to see Evan just popping off on Instagram with all these different repost. Right. Because it's videos that, like, we don't even take of him. And oftentimes Evan will ask us like,

hey, is it cool if I take that video of me doing that wheelie from your guys's video and repost? We're like, dude, you want us to just like actually like make the video so it doesn't have music in the background? He's like, no, no, no, it's fine. I'll just download it from YouTube. But it's cool to see like his personal videos that he'll just have Slim out there with his iPhone and Slim.

You can hear Slim breathing in the background. And then those are the ones that like go viral. too that's that's awesome dude yeah if you uh are not following evan listening to this right now go follow him he's at like he's growing fast it's awesome yeah and well he's got the skill to back it so he deserves it yeah he does i can't wait for evan to start doing sponsored post start making money off of his instagram too i'll finally get that twist and t sponsorship he deserves it more than anyone i know yeah damn right i mean they're gonna literally lose tons of profits if evan has to stop or if evan stops

trying twisted tea. That's true. He is actually floating them to the Midwest right now. That's a great point. All the liquor stores in Kloat and Duluth are like, damn, why do we have so much twisted tea right now? We ordered the same amount as last time. Oh, Evan quit drinking it.

Evan gets it for free now. You didn't hear? They just sent Evan three pallets a week. Almost enough. Oh, that's funny. Mike, I don't know if we ever touched on this in your hot seat episode, but I had it written down in my notes, so I'm assuming we didn't.

If we go back to the days of you being in high school, or even maybe earlier than that, but I never heard a really pre-high school mic. Pre-high-school Mike. But it's not middle-school Mike because I didn't have a middle school, so you can't say that. Oh, that's a fantastic name.

Middle school mic, that is kind of funny. So I didn't know you, but people often say that you, You were a bully back in high school. What? I was. I cannot picture that. I mean, I guess I can.

I really can't. It is funny because I was obviously, but I had, I was in the pyramid of bullies. For real. So you were, like, surrounded by him. Yeah, I was also bullied. It's so funny how he describes it. Oh, like you were also bullied. It's so funny how he describes it.

Because so, yeah, yeah. So it's like, well, I had, I was almost in Ken's grade. but a lot of people in Ken's grade were assholes. They were just, like, bigger than me and, like, stronger. And they, like, anything they said, they're just like, this kid's a punk. Like, fuck this kid. And I'm just like, damn, glad I'm not in Ken's grade. And then I had my friend group, and I know Ben's got a buddy and his friend group, Jace,

who they kind of poke at. And I would, like, freak out. And then they'd love it, you know, great reaction. What? I was that kid. Seriously? Yeah. They'd poke me until I, like, snapped.

And then they were like, like, snap, like, get mad. And not like Ryan snapping, I'm saying, but I'm saying the snaps were like more often. You know, I'm just like, screw you guys. Like, what's your problem? How old were you? I mean, like 14, 15, right around that age. And anyway, so they did that to me. And so then I, like, channeled my energy and bullied other kids.

He bullied people that were underneath him. So it was like, Mike was somewhere in the middle. So then, like, he was getting it from the guys at the top. Like the food pyramid. Yeah. That's what you don't want to hear. Yeah. I was like, I guess I was punching down.

Not really. I just, I honestly, if it wasn't even if you differed from what I thought, I'm just like, man, some people are just so weird. And I would point that out. That was my bullying. Bro, what?

Well, Mike, you have no, like, no touch. Saying something. You're extremely blunt. Which is funny now because I've obviously grown out of bullying. But yeah, every once in a while, you'll catch me.

me just saying something that is so like out of pocket because it was like man I can't let me just told me that it's just outlandish when you say stuff to people that we aren't that good of friends with you're just blunt dude I think you don't fuck around yeah I mean I can appreciate that I guess

like when Mike when we were with side by side blog and you go yeah Kyle he just doesn't like you guys and they were just like they were just standing there like leaning up against the truck and they were just like

so caught up in order that Mike said that and Mike was like, I tried telling them that you guys. That's not how it went. But yeah, that's a great example. That's definitely not how it went, but no, yeah, there was, I mean, it's just interesting to see like a slight beef between YouTubers and I brought it to light when I probably just should

have kept my mouth shut. Why don't you just tell the story, Mike? Tell the stories that way both sides can be explained. Actually, yeah, I was like this might be a good opportunity for the beef to be squabre. publicly with neither of them here i don't think that were the guys to do that honestly i don't i don't think but there's no really beef anyway i don't know if it needs to kyle cullen if you're listening to this i love you side-by-sidebog if you're listening to this

i also love you they're great guys yeah they're out of here dude mike dude you getting bullied in high school does explain a lot because i feel like you're calloused to what we do like kennel shoot you with a paintball gun and you just calmly turn over and go what did you well that's when he's waking up yeah that's true no I like you just you just we don't even bother pranking you because your reactions are so monotone I don't know if that's from being

callous I think he's just slow I think no I'd agree with Ryan to help my case a little bit jump out and scare him and he'd be like this I think that's different though that's different though okay yeah like you know like I mean getting scared versus getting bullied

or I wouldn't call it it it's just funny how we all take it like if i can get something actually good on ben like he doesn't take it very well i think i well was just like i know we always say that but it's true yeah ben you do but there's not very many instances where i can make fun of you to be honest thanks mike that's why he doesn't take it well i'm used to it thanks um mike you are bully in the fact like i remember like it's in your bluntness and also like you're such a sarcastic sarcastic little asshole, but I don't even know if it's like called sarcasm at what you do. Like, I'll be like, hey, let's go get this thumbnail.

And then you'll be like, you'll just say something like, let's go and get this thumbnail. And like, I'll say that after you said, like, repeat people. After you said, let's go get this thumbnail 13 times, I will absolutely rip that. You know, so it's like, this guy's sitting here. Because I might be standing right behind you, ready to go. Come on, you guys. Like, we got to get this going. You got to try and finish.

Get what we got to get done. I'm trying to, like, do some work here, you know? And then you're over. It's not clear. No one's listening. And then it got you. I'm going to get this done to you. Like, like, that, honestly, so funny.

That is what makes me go harder on you. Yeah. That's where the pink eye jokes just really, like, we go in on then. And I think I am callous to that because I'm already expecting that out of you. I'm expecting that out of you whether or not I pissed you off today or not. So there's that. We all have each other figured out. We spend a lot of time together.

Like you said earlier, you're like, I know how to deliver a sentence to Micah versus. Yeah, I know how to, yeah, exactly. Because everybody receives it differently. That's super funny. With Ken, you got to show up. I have like some cinnamon rolls, a little 12 pack of beer. Tap them on the back a little bit. Hey, buddy.

How's it going today? You don't say, I got this package that's going to a friend in Colorado. Do you think you could send it to him? Fine. Just kidding. Ken doesn't do that. He's not listening. We got to get a camera to just point at Ken.

Yeah, we need a Jamie Kim. He's looking at his laptop right now. He's got headphones on. Ken cut, I mean, and you guys know this, he solely runs customer service. That's it. It's just Ken. You don't talk to any robots or.

are random people or receptionists or helpers. It's just Ken. It's actually really funny to think about. Because the people that are buying the merch are obviously big fans. They're like supporting us by doing that. And then if they have any questions or issues, they're talking to Ken.

They get to directly speak to him. I was sitting there on the toilet today and I was thinking about you. You're funny enough. Well, in multiple ways. Oh? Funny enough. Multiple.

Well, for one. Ken loves sitting on that toilet. He spends half his day there. But for two, I was thinking about how much time you've been hustling lately with all, like, the orders coming in with Christmas and Thanksgiving and all that. And he's sitting there emails, emails, emails. Like yesterday, I was at the shop until 10.30. I'm editing up the thumbnail. We'd just post everyone hit the road.

But Ken was still there sitting on the couch emailing. And I was thinking to myself, how long is Ken going to keep doing this until he just, like, literally is like hey i'm just gonna find a a helper you know like realistically it'd be very easy to find a helper for ken yeah but i'm surprised you don't have him you need a girl or dial you need like a like a yeah but you need like he does a great job but i'm saying like i'm surprised you don't you're not a little bit more proactive and like just a right-hand woman that like circles around you and you're like damn everything everything's done but ken's got he's probably very particular when it comes to hiring an employee so can you guys imagine if ken got an assistant just can though

just ken can hire hired an assistant and he came out of his own personal and then like whenever we're like he would do he would be the one to do that we will match it ken we go hey we're filming uh saturday morning and like we have to tell his assistant that and she's like okay well all uh check ken's schedule and let you know if it's going to work the assistant doesn't do anything to talk to him anymore he just leaves all group chats it's just Tell me when you need me No, no, no, he starts sending the assistant to film with us So that he can keep working

That'd be the end right there Completely hands off That'd be pretty good for him Dude, it'd be kind of nice to have an assistant Yeah But I mean Except for the pain in the part Yeah, but other than that

I'm just talking like ease of life Yeah, you should get one Ben I think I will I mean, I have her set up her office, or like her desk right there, so then you guys check in with her before you come into my office. He has like a big phone thing and, like, puts you on speaker, and you can literally do your phone phone. Pretty busy.

Hey. I've got a two o'clock appointment with Ben. Ooh, you're not on the schedule. Sorry. We can get you in for a four. You're like, what's he doing for two hours? You hear, pageant, hey, Ben, CJ's here to see you. And then you just go, tell him I'm not here.

You hear him. CJ. Your cousin. Oh, right. What's he want? No. Yeah. All right.

Well, shit, I guess I think we should probably get a couple then. Yeah. I was thinking about it today, mainly because I was cleaning up a lot. And it seemed like the masses were coming faster than I could clean them up. But a lot happens around here during the week. Like from filming two, videos to the podcast from all the merch coming in we have seven boxes coming in it seems like every day there's so much going on in the shop it is a happening place you know I my dad on this shop

before we moved in here and it's really funny because I've seen it when it was like he went here once a month to like back out a trailer or something like that and then now all the stuff you know a FedEx truck a UPS truck the mail truck like every day place is popping happen in place or like how quickly the landscape of the shop changes. Isn't that weird to think that in 10 years, it could potentially just be completely different?

Like, think about 10 years ago from today. Dude, think about two years ago. Yeah, I think about a year ago. A year ago from today, I don't even think we had the shipping containers painted yet. Yeah, they weren't even red yet. That is wild. Now we're sitting on top of them. They were just sitting there and we were driving

crazy carts and circles around them. Denting up the walls. Yeah. Dude, you know what I love is how much the shop came together from the state it was when we moved in? Because when we first moved in, I don't know if you guys watched the videos. You can go back to like January or June of 2020 is when we moved in. And you see the shop and it's like you almost wouldn't even recognize it because we had like the Pine Bay, which is the Far Bay. And we had like all of our desk and offices set up over there. the next bay over it was separated so right now it's like a it's like a massive bay right now but

before it was kind of cut into like a third and that was all that was heated so then the rest of it was just cold storage it barely had like any lights or anything which is pretty much where we're sitting over now and dude we came in and i'll never forget every single time we'd give a tour to somebody they'd be like wow it just keeps going and we're like yeah we're going to tear down this wall and then we want to get shipping containers and we put them here and then we want to build offices on top of the shipping containers then we want to extend this floor out over here and put offices over there we want a bedroom right there and everyone would just look at us like this like they're so confused a majority of people didn't understand

it was pretty hard to like just point and like yeah it's right there and like no but even when we like broke it down i would say over half the people were like i'll have to i'll have to see it when it happens honestly i was confused at first too i didn't think it was going to be possible to build it like this for some reason like i was just like i remember suggesting like the walkway across but i for some reason thought it was just going to be like a smaller i don't know it turned it turned out amazing it really did amazing it would have been cool if we could have done two shipping containers on top of each other yeah been like technically four and then we would have turned like cj's office over here and then my office right behind this wall and it would have just

been a shipping container turned into an office. It would have been finished. We wouldn't have had a window. You would have had a window. We would have cut them into them. Anyway, well, that's originally, but the ceilings were too short, which is good. But that's also why the podcast is... I guess more so why I say it would be bad is, like, I feel like it'd be so dark and, like, cold.

Granted, you have lights, but then you'd talk and it'd be like... Echoing. You ever been in my office? It is dark and cold. That's because you don't put anything in there. You've got to decorate. It's just your shoes. Yours is shaped like a shipping container.

That's literally what I told Ben was like right above a shipping container. It's the exact same dimensions of that shipping container. That's true. Yeah. I told Ben that he should, uh, you should at least just put like your sneakers on the walls. That's all you really need to do. I don't know. Right now they just line.

But it's got a $70 nikes hanging on the wall like someone who actually those shoes walks and goes, why do you? Oh, I guess. I was going to say, you are a huge sneaker head, I'd say. Yeah, yeah. I was going to say. then you put your $400 sneakers on the wall. I think that's pretty cool.

If I were you, I'm not really into that that much. I guess he'll do it, yeah. Zick. Yeah, I guess I'll hang with my $400. Yeah, so if you guys want to, like, come swing by, check Ben's office out. You can. Check up my sneaker wall. I got two pairs up on the wall.

The rest are down there. Yeah, there's like a price threshold. So, pretty big move, pretty big step. We got health insurance. Oh. Company health insurance. So not exciting, but, like, very exciting. Yeah, I think you're at a certain age, probably like 23 and under.

It doesn't mean anything. No, no, I probably say 25 because most people are probably on their families or their parents, health insurance. And then when you hit 26, is it, 26, and then you're booted. Or if you work for a job that has the health insurance included. But I never fully understood that when people are like, yeah, pay you shit, but I got good benefits. It's pretty official. all that because it's actually expensive. I didn't know that. I thought health insurance

is probably pretty cheap because, well, I guess, though, I guess actually I'd really never thought about it until I was like, oh, I should probably get health insurance. Well, you and I have never had health insurance ever. I never had it ever. Oh, you didn't either? And it's so hard hearing people, they're like, you guys know what you do. Yeah. Why don't you have health insurance? And I, and I, and we've all got a lot. And I'm just like, I don't know. It's not even really an issue I didn't have enough. It's like, I just didn't know enough. Yeah, yeah, for sure it was.

I guess, yeah, now I'm just like, man, I should just take out a personal plan because like if you, when I broke my foot, it was like 30 grand. That's a lot of money. You pay that out of pocket? Mm-mm. That is a long story, but, uh, the buddies whose ranger I was in was like a work ranger and he did a claim with his company, his dad's. Oh, like workman's, uh, no, he just did a claim under his business insurance.

I'm like, bro, you don't have to do that, although it's like literally saving my life. So instead of having, I paid like three grand out of a $30,000 surgery. And you got a settlement too. And I got a settlement, which is just insane, which I didn't know what that was either. I'm like, you guys want to keep your mouth shut. I'm like on this podcast. Basically the settlement from the insurance company was to, in case I have future complications with my foot. But yeah, it was like, they offered like 10,000 and then I was like, that's insane.

I get $10,000. And then my dad was like, that's what they're. offering. Let's go for 20. Oh. And then they, like, settled at 18. So that paid for my entire three years of school. What? That's crazy.

So, yeah, me breaking my foot, like, literally changed my entire life. You breaking your foot was the best thing that ever happened to you because of that and because you didn't get into the military. That's not why, but then I met you guys. Military and then you didn't go to college. Helped us, too. Dude. Yeah.

And then we became friends through it. Boom. I got a funny story about health insurance. So my girlfriend. dad finds out like last year that I don't have health insurance for some reason she mentioned it to him so I get a call from him he's a nice guy but like also he can be very serious at times he's a character yeah he's a great guy hilarious he calls me up I'm sitting here and goes hey you know I just heard that you don't have health insurance and like he gives me this stern talking

that some people are appalled by it yeah he was just like you you can't be out there doing the stuff you're doing and not have health insurance like I Listen, I got a great plan. I, we could probably get you in on my plan. And I was like, no, no, no, don't, don't do that. Don't do that. I don't want to be, like, on your plan and whatever. But, like, he was so appalled by it.

He was, like, ready to try and get me on his plan. Wow. Yeah, and I was like, no, no, don't do that. Don't. I kind of lied. I was like, we're going to get health insurance soon, so don't worry about it. Well, no. No, no, it's, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it just took a year, but, yeah. It's, I just didn't want, yeah. It's kind of funny that I would say Alex's dad, CJ's girlfriend's dad is similar in in I just similar to Jake's dad and Jake's dad now that you said that did the same thing to me he was like you don't

you're like you dumb fucker you don't have health insurance that's what he called me too he told me I was a dumb fuck he goes you must you'd be a real stupid motherfucker you must be a stupid motherfucker oh you didn't know that about me yeah so freaking Dave had me like come I don't even know he had me come

like mow the lawn once and he's like yeah now you're on pay I could get you insurance. Oh, shit. Super random for like a year. I was actually on his payroll and I didn't get that. We didn't like you. Big difference.

Yeah. He didn't even call you by your first name. Yeah. The older we get, the more I realize that it's the not fun things that are expensive. Nobody tells you that freaking health insurance is like... 350 a month. Yeah.

Is like a cool car payment or something like that, you know? No shit. You're right. All the things that you would... Should we go back to risking it? I mean, we've made it this far, dude We might as well But it's even like, you know

When I've started looking into like houses and stuff like that People are trying to go like yeah, I'm gonna put new windows in That's gonna be 90 grand I'm like holy crap Yeah, it's the lame stuff that costs a lot of money Like put in a furnace And it's your yeah put it in a furnace But it's the cool stuff you're like

Oh I really got to save up for this Xbox It's a thousand dollars You're like crap And then then you realize it's like The power to supply the Xbox in your house Also cost a lot of money Yeah And it seems like the older you get, the more you got to spend money on things you don't like to want to.

No, I agree 100%. And it really shows like, it's pretty easy to have like a lot of cool shit. But like to have like a good living, stable life, you know? You know, it's funny how like someone can have a Lamborghini and everyone thinks they're rich. But the guy that lives in like the normal size house and, you know, it's probably. probably decorated nice and all that. He has way more money than the other guy because he doesn't have a bunch of debt or whatever, you know.

Yeah, he has furniture in his house. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, dude, it's actually, it's actually crazy to think about. Really, you don't have to, as long as you have your priorities in balance, things are pretty attainable until you get to a certain spot in your life where you have like a family or you have kids. and then you have all these different expenses you got a little shitbird kid

and you got to put him through fucking private school my kid's not going to private school I was like I know he's looking at Ryan yeah yeah no but but he'd probably be sitting there 10 15 years later on some stupid podcast wearing a green little beanie

The one time I wear a hat Yeah No no no you know what I'm saying though Is like and that it crushes, it's crazy to think, I shouldn't say it in the most depressing way like that, but having a kid curbs a lot of people's dreams or goals or even just small.

Having fun. Yeah, growing up, no, no, growing up and getting in a position where you have a 9 to 5 job and they cover your health benefits

and your dental and vision. And then you make... 401K possibly? 4.1K. your IRAs all that shit right well it's stable you know it's like safe right yeah so so you have a you have a decent income right say you're making i don't i don't 60 grand a year yeah 60 grand a year right but you have all this these things covered making 60 grand a year um and then you have a wife kids your kid is growing up say maybe your kid has to get a car soon 16 year old kid and you got

do that and then sports sports and all these different things like hockey like certain sports are very expensive, right? So it's all these little things. And then you're like, oh, man, I hate my job. I hate my life. I kind of want to quit and, like, do something that I like. But you're like, fuck. I can't speak.

Yeah, yeah, versus. Well, that's why it's better to do it young. Versus. If you can set yourself young, it's a lot easier, but obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah, versus, like, a kid that's just like, let's see here. You can fuck around for a lot longer. I'm trying to think if I had any expenses when, like, we, when I quit my, like, summer a job to start like full-time

YouTubeing. I don't know. Gas in the car. Yeah, gas in the car, but I lived at home. I wasn't in college. And you weren't, I mean, none of us really were. You weren't a big spender. It wasn't a big spender because I didn't have like any money.

I couldn't be. I didn't have any money. I mean, yeah, you, but you never could be. Also, you would be smarter with it. Yeah, so I'm just trying to think of that. But, you know, like, I get it. Like, society, like, really keeps people in like a box based out of fear.

yeah but also there's all there's factual parts of it yeah it's tough too yeah of being like all right i'm gonna go full time on whatever it is but you yeah you have a family to provide for that sounds terrifying well joel rogan's talked about that like obviously it's a lot easier and it's better like when you're young like that's the time to take risks and try to like do things that uh you know are riskier you know um and like kind of follow your dreams but if you you know missed out on that and you're older he was talking like you know it's obviously going to be tougher for you but you can still do it too what you'd have to do is you know really save up

all of all of your money and then spend all of your time when you're not working that nine to five job so then you spend five to ten or whatever working on that second thing and meanwhile you're saving up all your money saving up all your money you calculate in your plan and then once you have the right time and uh the right plan that's when you're saving up all your money you're you act and you got to, you know, make sure you execute or just do your best to, that you can. Yeah. You know, take your best shot.

Slightly more or maybe quite a bit more calculating. Yeah, it's just a lot more calculated and it's a lot more difficult. There's a lot more things into it. I feel like this is one of those things that, remember when you were a kid and you really thought you knew, you knew stuff, you know? This will be, this can be one of those conversations we can look back on and we're 40 or something like that and you'll listen to what you said. Not all that.

That was all good. but all of us talking about stuff and go, man, we didn't know shit. Like how much life can educate you in 20 years? Because there's definitely people listening like, what do you mean, you know, this? Yeah. Yeah, but I guarantee that I mean, that was way more kids listening right now that are like, I don't, I don't fucking understand a single thing they're saying because what do you mean? I got like the whole, my whole life to figure shit out.

That's true. I'm 15, but it's like, life comes back to fast, man. Shit happens fast. Shit happens fast. I saw a thing on Instagram the other day, and it was like a post, and it was, when I was in elementary school, I thought, like, the middle schoolers, they had it all figured out, and they were still growing up. Then I got to middle school, and I was like, oh, man, like the high schoolers are so growing up and figure out. Like, growing up, I think, was more so the thing. And then when I got to college, or when I was in high school, I thought the college kids had it all.

They were all growing up and had it figured out. And then in college, I thought the adults out in the real world. We're so growing up and had to figure it out. Now I'm an adult in the real world. Like, no one hasn't figured out, you know? Or true. Or almost no one. And it's really fun to talk to the people who do have it figured out.

Everybody's figuring out. Even the people that seem or act, like, they haven't figured out, still. Yeah. There's always a better way, I feel like, to do something. Yeah, or there's even the most, like, you think freaking Bezos or Elon Musk, they probably have many days where they're like, what am I going to do? Yeah, they're figuring it out. he may figure out how he gets to space but i mean he's figuring something out it's like that one

thing you you have to say ryan like fucking uh back when you were you know trying to be you were building like working as like a builder for houses or whatever you were doing uh construction worker and you realize like dude no one knows what they're doing no or like you have to like work with all these you know high up people at whatever and like they don't know what they're doing You'd think, like, everything's so official and people are just so dialed in, but most of the time, everyone's just kind of winging it. Yep, everybody is. Yeah, they're just doing the best they can.

So you really can't expect too much from people. That is the sad truth. You know, you just, it's contrary to what you would think, though, because you'd think, like, oh, this person is, like, you know, so high up or they have so much going from, I bet they're just, like, dialed, locked in, but, yeah, you'd be surprised. Yeah, that's very true. Yeah, like, you think you go and try to get you. your exhaust welded by someone who welds exhaust all day, you think it'd be good, but it turns out

it's not, it's not there. That's true. Why did you not end up being good? Well, it doesn't look good. It looks like a $25 weld. Yeah. I could have done it for you for free. Yeah. Yeah, but that would have been, I would have gotten a free weld. I'm glad I paid my $25. It would still have a leak if you welded it. My truck would be on fire, I think. Or that. It's probably a good thing. I miss my welding days. I did have a short stint. We have a butch still has that welder. Think about it every day.

He doesn't. He gave it to him? You brought it back? Yeah. Well, why don't we weld Ryan's exhausting? I offered. Because I didn't want my truck. I shot me down, dude.

I just, I just knew that was one of those things that we shouldn't do. I shouldn't want to achieve exhaust trap and got no welded, but I did. Welding's one of those things that it's like, I don't know if most people listening. Did you guys weld in high school?

No. No. Oh. I think a lot of people took shop, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's, like, wood shop, and then there's obviously, like, metal shop. And we learned to weld, and it's like,

you learn just enough that you're like, yeah, I can weld, but you can't. You just know how to use the welder. You don't know how to weld. All right. Same for, I mean, anything. Did you guys take sewing class in high school? Like, Homeack?

Yeah. I think it was a group project, and I think I made the girls do it. Yeah, I remember at one point. Very sexist of you, right? Nope. They just were better at. It was okay back then, Ben.

It was a different time. It was a different time. It was before you were born. I remember at one point in Homeack, they're like, all right, we're going to we're going to sew teddy bears. And, you know, at this point, I'm like eighth grade. So you're like still, you think you're older than you are kind of. You're like, whatever.

I'm in high school at this point. I guess that is the official. No, that's still middle school. Blah, blah, blah. We make teddy bears. And I remember, like, sewing this teddy bear. I'm like, what the heck am I doing right now? Look around?

I'm way too much of a man. Yeah. That's how all the guys thought about it. Mike and then the other kids, shut up, Mike. And then Mike takes it home and sleeps with it. I'm pretty sure I use like John Deere fabric or some shit. Of course.

That checks out. That checks out. You know, back to like taking risk while you're young. Good example of this. My friend, Sam, shout out Sam. Hope you're listening right now. One of my best friends from high school. He, you know, like one of those.

kids that you always just know he's like they're going to be successful you have no idea what they're going to do but you're like you'll figure it out you're smart kid good you know like charismatic and you know like i mean saying like you know his dad and his dad is a hustler too yeah yeah it just comes from like a successful you're like just well well raised yeah successful mindset anyway so sam graduated college with a i want to say like civil engineer degree and um instead of going into becoming like a civil engineer him and his dad moved to Missouri and they started a goat farm Missouri so random yeah Missouri and started a goat farm like where even is that yeah not Mississippi right I don't anyway

Missouri it's where Missouri is down south is okay I think and um yeah started a goat farm and like big dude like they took like a big ass risk like I want to say like 2,500 goats. A lot of fucking goats, dude. And they butcher them? They're meat goats. They raise them, and then they sell them to be butchered. I've never eaten goats.

Well, it's because, like, goat meat is, like, extremely popular in... Like, India. One of the foreign ethnicities, I don't want to say it because I... Pretty sure it's India. Might be India. Anyway, it's really big. in the United States, too. And goat meat is insanely expensive

because it's super hard to get. And nobody was really doing it at a big scale. So they were like, well, if nobody's doing it at a big scale, like, why don't we just take the wrist and, like, go all in and do it. Wow. They converted over, like, turkey barns. Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

Go in, convert a turkey barn. I don't want to give over... Those are huge. Yeah, secrets away, but, yeah. And now, dude, he's going to... He's killing it. And he, the biggest part of it, I mean, well, I should say the biggest part is starting a goat farm and moving to Missouri.

Like, you know, there's like, it's a full... Oh, I got an opportunity in Florida. Well, everyone's like, sweet. Why would I not go to Florida? But I got an opportunity. I don't know. I'm not making fun of any states. Just there by yourself, you know.

Yeah. Yeah, you uproot your whole life. Yeah. At 23 or 4. Right. But then I guarantee when he's 45. Be happy you did. And he can, you can...

Go anywhere. Go anywhere. You can go out and start five more of these. goat farms because it's such a massive operation and they're the biggest in the country at the time or they get bought out by whoever the fuck buys goat farms I don't know for a bigillion dollars be like man I'm sure glad we did that 20 years ago and instead of being like 60 you're like 40

that is great like this is that title yeah I'm a goat farmer one of the biggest yeah apparently he just like when he gets dressed for work his girlfriend was telling me this he would never personally tell me this but he uh he He just wears, like, cowboy boots, jeans, and, like, you know, Seaboy sweatshirt. And he just has, like, Velcro gloves. That's all you need. Really?

It's all you need to fuck a goat, huh? Oh, my God. Yeah, dude. I don't know. As long as he doesn't take any videos because he's in the Seaboy sweatshirt. I have to send. I have to send him. He's like, hey, man, it's bad for the brand.

You got to take that off. So, anyway, an example. A very good. but abstract example very abstract very different not many people can say that one of their best friends a goat farmer i was reading through the comments on uh the last video what's up with people that live in cold temperatures getting so butt hurt about how much colder it is where they live every time we mention how cold it is they go negative eight it's negative 40 up here competition dude yeah so what's up with people being sold i think it's like partly our like subscribers dude

Like, they always want to, like, one-up you. I just think that's the type of person. It's not just with cold. Like, it is. Right. Because, and I'm not saying that. Don't be that, okay, now I feel bad saying this. And Ken and I went on a cruise once.

And I know. People are from all over. And someone goes, yeah, I'm glad to be here. It's almost freezing back at home. Ken goes, oh, 20 below back at home. That's nothing. You can't complain about it. But that's the thing.

find myself doing it someone's like oh yeah it's so cold here and wherever i'm at and i'm like really it's it's nine below this morning yeah and they're like oh wow yeah i think i don't know why there's such a universal conversation i know i always resort to it too i always resort to it like if i have to like make a small conversation or like say hi to someone and it's kind of like don't have anything to talk about it'll be like staying warm out there yeah you know just the classic talk about the roads, which is basically talking about the weather in Minnesota. Small talk in general is one of the worst things. Because I don't think anybody looks forward to small talk.

But nobody like so, I'm thinking about going into Fargo tonight. Just being cordial. Yeah, yeah, just being cordial. And I know I will have 40 conversations of, yo, bro, how you been? Good, man. How about you? Good. And Small Talk 2022.

How do we do that? Well, just don't go up and talk to Ryan. No, not that. I still want to talk to people. But like, why is it that every, that it seems like small talk is such a pointless conversation. How do you like? Well, you're talking about like people that are acquaintances that you have

growing up with or you went to college with or you just haven't known throughout. People you see infrequently, but at least know them. Yeah. It seems like every conversation starts out. It's always like just not knowing enough. Yeah. To want to say something because then if you do say something that you,

they're like expected you to know, then it's just awkward. Yeah. And it's like, I'd imagine with you when you see a bunch of people that obviously know that you're a YouTuber but they don't watch they don't want to like ask and be like

yeah sorry I don't I don't watch so instead they just don't bring it up yep and then I'm like are you in school and they're like no bro I'm 26 I graduated three years ago and I'm like oh yeah crap are you do you have a girlfriend they're like yep married have a kid and I'm like I just don't know it's so hard to keep up with people's lives

even with social media and that's I think small talk will never go away the way you say that but so I watch this thing on HBO max it's called he does like it's John Wilson don't know who it is but he does how to and the first episode is how to small talk I thought it was dumb at first but he genuinely makes you a better small talker at the I don't know so I'm watching it and he said you like you can't ever get too personal because either you'll end up making a friend that you didn't want to make you end up making like an emotional connection that you didn't want to make so don't get too personal don't ever get too personal

when you're small talking if you don't want to be especially if it's a person you've never met but it basically just shows you how to small talk and i never thought about it he said it's a very important thing to like work together in society at airports and gas stations most people would just be like i just don't want to talk to people but interesting yeah it was you have to watch it like if more of the world knew that yeah then you could have more better conversations yeah he touched on as soon as you bring emotions or personal stories into it it's no longer small talk I feel like whenever I do that, like I try not to. But if that happens, I always leave the conversation like, God damn it.

Why do I fucking say that? Like, why do I say that? It's a worst feeling too. You're just like, why do I speak? Yeah. Why do I just stop? Yeah. Luckily, small talk with our subs doesn't feel like small talk because if they are outgoing

about it. I like it. Yeah, they'll ask you all kinds of questions. That's always cool. I love it. It's much easier to have a conversation with. Well, the sub, it's way easier. Yeah.

Because like, they have like questions normally and like it's easy to answer. And, like, I'm interested in, you know, asking them questions. Yeah, it's kind of fun to hear, like, where they're from or what they do. Dude, on a note from that, just, like, thinking about, I noticed this when I was watching the Britney Spears documentary. But paparazzi doesn't exist anymore like it did. It's insane. Dude, that shit was illegal the way they were doing that. Just, like, yeah, they're, like, chasing her.

She's, like, speeding off around cars. Like, trying, almost hitting them. And they're driving on, like, it was nuts, dude. Someone was going to get her. hurt right well that's how uh princess diana died that's so fucked up she was getting chased by paparazzi in her car allegedly yeah go but i think there's a conspiracy but that is what happened but it doesn't happen anymore like that thank goodness dude go watch the brittany spears documentary if you haven't and you will literally be like what the fuck how was that happening how did the cops not come

and do something they weren't even treating her like she was human dude it was fucked up like i'm not really a brittany spears fan but i found it really interesting It's a really good show. It's on Netflix. I think they have another one on Hulu, too. Really? There's a different one. And then you wonder why she turned out crazy or however you want to talk about that.

And that's just her. There's so many. You know how they talk about like Free Brittany, get her out of her conservatorship? Yeah, I think there was a reason that she was probably in that because I think she's actually a little bit crazy. No, I think, but I think that was. Like to her degree, why she first originally got put into it. Yeah, you got to watch it. But I think, okay.

the conservatorship was like taking it too far it no no no it was but 100% taking away like her violating her rights of being a human yes but also when you have like the world at your fingertips now with social media and all these things it's like you know keep an eye on people like that make sure that they're not acting up that's what's cool you kind of can do that like before when you found out that she like i literally found out brittany spears shaved her head from a People magazine at the grocery store. Same, dude. Or whatever.

I remember I was so little. I was very small. And I would always look at those because they just have the most outlandish. Click bait. Click bait. Yeah. And I remember there was a super overweight couple that were kind of redneck behind me in line. And I'm like looking at it.

And then they're looking at it. And they go, the wife goes, she's like on the car. She goes, yep, she's gone crazy. And then the husband is. Just go, shakes his head. Wow. You know. And then I remember you see all that, but this, you know, before phones and stuff.

You kind of just believe it. Well, they're going to print in a magazine. Yeah. That was at a certain age, but. I think the equivalent to like People Magazine or TMZ clickbait headline on magazines now is Snapchat articles. Damnchat articles. What do you guys see those? Absolutely out of pocket.

They are insane. The things that they will clickbait in. And I have a good folder of them. I've been keeping track of them. Because they're outlandish. Astronomical. The most ridiculous things that don't even make any sense. Like, I think one of them was, is Millie Bobby Brown a robot?

What the fuck does that even mean? That's one of the more normal ones, I feel like that. Let me mention later. Yeah, I always get paid. I don't. How did Tom Hanks raise such an idiot? Jamie Lynn Spears keeps running over her cats. Yeah, that one was funny.

Is Millie Bobby Brown a robot or a human? And Satan just wanted her number. This is like just a few of them. Dude, Justin sent some really, really funny ones. Yeah, he did send a funny one. Let me pull. And then you like, I don't even, I feel like stupid when I do click on them. Yeah, it's always a waste.

I got click through it. You get hit with a couple ads. You know, they're making a couple bucks off that. And then it's just a one slide. The content you went there to look at is shit. You know, I hopefully people, there's probably people listen to this right now. You guys do that to me. You click paid in the last podcast.

No, we didn't. We are going to move there. That's true. That's true. Yeah. No, it's, uh, the argument of what is clickbait is, uh, loose. Yeah. Yeah.

Loose. God damn. You had to bring up another meme. Sorry. Oh, that's funny. Uh, yeah, did you? Just arrow four forward him right there. Ben just shows me a picture of street speed and I just lost all my thoughts.

So lately, I've been saying that Ben looks like Street Speed 717. I don't see the resemblance. It's because you... At all. Well, when you're taking a thumbnail pick with your arms up like him, wearing the fucking Aviator sunglasses, you look like Street Speed, dude. They're not aviators. I don't know.

You can't even look like him right now. I don't look like him at all. You wouldn't catch any of us dead in aviators, for real, though. From now on, refer to Ben as Street Speed Jr. Jeez. come on the matter you get the more you look like him i'm not mad i'm just i'm just not agreeing i just don't see the resemblance i wouldn't want to see it either yeah i'm pretty mad i mean he's not like an ugly guy or nothing it's just like they could probably be worse street speed

just don't let us like getting any clips of you if you're talking to a GoPro in your hand bad news then you're really going to look like that that's the only other factor i mean you had the corvette you had the aviators okay valid Valid point. Hey, I think he's a great YouTuber, so I guess that's not a funny. I was like, he is a great YouTuber, so, like, it's not an insult. It's just the aviators.

Also, funny thing is, like, it's not just him that does this. We've done that. Everybody. So we call it. I don't think he even does that. Dude, we meme it now. He doesn't do that. Brayden Price fucking does that. Don't do this. Don't, like, we're like, no more of that.

Don't even, like, if I'm taking a thumbnail and Ben, put his arms, I'm like, put your arm. Put your fucking arms down. I have a big. Ken did it the other day with. with the Bronco. I go, can't put your fucking arms down.

We'll pop that picture up. I'm like, we gotta get a few with your arms up. And, uh, the most for a jubber pose. It is.

I think that that pose is so used and like click baited that it almost like hurts your views. Like if I was a person I see someone I haven't watched before and they're doing this in the thumbnail, I'd be like, yep. It's a scam. This is going to be bullshit.

Don't click it. Yeah. This is bullshit. We're turning into those like grandfather YouTubers that we're just getting mad now like little things like that just trigger us like come on why i think just the simple thumbs up or just stand next to it and smile hit them with the old just so they know it's you and uh that's a that's a tough thing is that in thumbnails you can't always see like the eyes and the facial expression because that tells a lot about it you know like i'm super excited to show you my new

whatever and like if you can see the excitement in your eyes that's why mr b's thumbnails are so good is because it's facial expression. It's almost like animated and it's like new thumbnails. Yeah, I haven't quite figured that out. But you can see it. I'm not sure if it is animated, but it looks a little animated. Does it not? It looks almost fake.

It's like a fake Mr. Beas face. Almost cartoonish. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. But it's very up close and personal. He's got to be the most uptight about thumbnail. I mean, you guys have watched like the videos where he explains why and what he does and like he changes a thumbnail three times where he has like three backup

thumbnail. Just in case the video's not doing quite as well as he was hoping I'm surprised that he hasn't gone back in like fixed old thumbnails too Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he did that Mr. B says hands down the best YouTuber The smartest YouTube most invested in what he's doing He makes uh or he pulls 400 million views on his Mr. B's channel

And then like another 200 million on his like Espanio A month got like a Russia channel yeah a month Then he's got uh Mr. Bs channel uh, Mr. Beast reacts and then he's got gaming. He pulls like a billion views total. That's like a billion views. That's like world influence. What? Yeah. Which is cool. He doesn't really try to influence.

Dude, you know how much money that is? I think that's probably like 10 million a month. I think it's more. Probably more on his, on his CPM. But are absolutely ridiculous amount and people are like, how does he afford giving away $458,000 to one person or, like, spending that much on a video. And it's like, dude, he's making so much fucking money.

Yeah. Like, so much money. He's making, like... It's all scalable, you know? If you make this much money, you can... Like, Steve, he makes a shitload of money. He's $14 million. Dude.

Give a take. If he gave a $14 CPM, which is probably low for him. Wow. A month. Crazy. Just off of you. Because he's, like, one of YouTube's favorite creator. Like, he's like YouTube's son right now.

He's very clean. Yeah. Very clean. No, it doesn't have any scandals or anything like that. Family-friendly, doesn't swear. And he's got very entertaining videos. Honestly, he's a pillar in whatever YouTuber aspires to be that wants to scale their videos and get billions of views.

I also love that his crew, or this is back, you know, let's say two years ago, his crew is, and I'll say this about us, we're not anything special. But his crew is nothing special, but he grew them into the personality. Because at first I was like, man, these are just his buddies. They don't know anything about anything. And now they all have their own channels. I don't know.

But yeah. I should say, I should say being a YouTuber that big and having monetization still, because you can be that big and not have monetization. What do you mean? No, you can't be Mr. Beast big. No, but like David Dobrick has like six billion views. Yeah. But he has like no monetization and his videos aren't like family friendly.

But Mr. Beast is. is raking in the dough off of all those views. I feel like there's quite a bit of, like, Mr. Bees is the definition of a YouTuber. He's like, like, Arak definition of a YouTuber. Yeah. Ryan Trahan, definition of a YouTuber. Like, they do videos that are strictly just like a video, like a YouTube video. Like, they're not, they're not filming themselves like out just like fucking around or, you know, they would never do any of the stuff we do because, like, it's just not, it doesn't have the potential to do 30 million views.

Yeah. Like, they're only interested in ideas that are getting. do that so like idea based idea based creator versus like a relationship with the audience like the creator and having like a personal yeah you really don't know their personality in it like it's almost just their videos

is just them almost like narrating yeah what's like what's going on and if they do it for long enough you start to get to know it but yeah you're totally right you still never really do but uh mark robert just watched like his latest glitter bomb video So funny, dude. I don't know.

That's like the definition of like a YouTube video. Puts out one video a month, but that video gets 20 million views. Imagine if we drop a glitter bomb video, how confused people would be. Can we glitter bomb? Yeah. Well, and that's the other thing. Glitter bombing R's T.R. X. You, of course, you wanted to glitter bomb the seymotruck.

I mean, the sema truck over my truck, yeah. It would just be in the way, hold up. Inside of it? Wow. Why would we ever do that? The funny thing is the glitter bomb is more... It has a car, and his new one had a car horn in it. It has fart spray.

It has like four phones that record the whole thing and has a tracking device on it. Oh, wow. Wait, what? He's on 4.0, so... I'm going to do you guys what we're even talking about. Me too. Oh, okay.

It's just a thing because he gets his packages stolen from Amazon. He's like, I know I'm going above and beyond, but like, you're going to steal my shit. Oh, so it blows up? Yes. No shit. That'd be sick. favorite thing about him.

So this is similar to a prank YouTuber. Like a modern day Unabomber. Whoa. For good. Whoa. He's doing it for good. He's like, yeah, for good.

But it's, you know, when you're like, when you go out to do a prank and you load up like three good reactions, everyone's happy. They got three. And some people load up like 10 good reactions.

Sometimes you get old. Anyway, he gets like, I'm not joking, 10 people to steal his package. He made a whole bunch of these. Where the fucks this guy live? California. Yeah, California.

So they, and then, yeah, he gets, yeah, he literally puts it out. He's like, yep, in about three hours, someone stole my package. I'm like, how that hell? He's like deer hunting. He's, like, sitting there by the window. Yeah.

That'd be pretty fun, dude. Have you ever seen, this is kind of the same play? People would do it during, like, political season, you know, when, like, the elections are coming up. I saw this one guy. He had, like, a Trump sign in his yard, and people kept stealing it or whatever and, like, taking it out, whatever. So he, like, booby-trap the sign. and like on one of them he put like a trip wire and he like filmed it it was the funniest fucking shit and then on one of them he like had a charge going to it so it was an electrical current and like the people

fucking go to grab it and it like scares the shit out of them um and then he had one this one was fucking savage well he's defending his property he's on his land yeah that's true what are they doing running up trying to ship it's his it's not really booby trapped like what are you doing Yeah, but keep in mind, somebody that's going to try and steal a Trump side is the same person to... Maybe not all. I shouldn't say that. Yeah, I was going to say. But most generally.

Then on this last one, this one was savage. He put fucking razor blades on the bottom. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. But it was so funny because he cuts his hand and the guy goes back and grabs gloves out of his car and then takes it. What a fucking... Wow. They really were...

They were out there fucking working for their party. Wow. Yeah, I saw it on Facebook. It was one of those Facebook videos, but it was entertaining. It honestly looked really fun. I'd like to do that. Just sit in the house and watch people try to steal my sign. And that's the funny thing.

Could we do that around here? Absolutely not. No, no one's stealing our signs. Well, no one... It'll just be like, yeah! Well, I'm saying just in general, no one's stealing anything. You could let an Amazon... We could go put an Amazon package

that says PS5. next of the road and no one would steal it. See? Another, another great thing about the running. Hey, uh, your package is outside there. So I picked it up and I brought it here. Here it is. Like you could go into Minnesota and stealing. The store.

Leave your keys in it. Yeah. Leave the car running. You can leave the car. You like, you don't have to worry about nothing around here. It's the best. Yeah.

I got contract ones. Yeah, my friend, Jace did that same thing. He went to the gas station. No, you went to Detroit Lakes. You went to the grocery store. Wait, what? That's a town. Jay's got a contract.

Carmaron. Yeah. Well, of course he did. He was a fucking guy. Went to the grocery store and came out and his car was gone. I would love to see his face. Yeah. Yeah, I shouldn't say I didn't get car jacked.

I didn't get my car. I got everything in it stolen because I left the keys. I left it open. I think everything, bro. Yeah, I remember. That was in Holly, though. That was in D.L. Yeah, well, D.L again.

See, town. I'm talking about Kormon. That's what like. I got my car egg on that same street. In D. Maybe it's that same street. Wait, it wasn't on that, it wasn't on that. I don't know where we, where it was the first party I'd ever been to.

And at the time, I was like, shouldn't, no, I was like, I shouldn't be here. I'm just giving my friends a ride. I shouldn't be here. Everyone's smoking weed and drinking. I'm like, I should not be here. And then all the shit out of my car gets stolen. And I'm like, that's what happens when you go to parties. They punked your ass, dude.

Did you know who it was to? The worst part is I found out who it was later on. Who was it? I don't know his name, but like I, it was a, a quince. of whatever, and I found out who it was, and I was so, like, upset because I met him before. So he just, did he know it was yours? I don't think so, to be honest.

I don't think he knew it was mine. What do you steal out of there? Everything. Like what was in there? iPod, everything. I mean, yeah, I used to have, I used to have all my fun shit in my car, but skateboard, longboard, golf club, sub, amp, deck. They fucking had a while, dude.

Camera. Yeah. He's like, you should have never got a replacement set of golf clubs. That should have. of in the sign, dude, to quit right then and there. The set of golf clubs I have now is the replacement to that, too. You should have never. I didn't have much clubs left.

I read this tweet the other day. Yeah, true. I read this tweet the other day that made me laugh. It does not apply to me, but it was like either you're a guy that has a massive cock or you're good at golf. You can't do both. I bet that made you feel good. I was like, no, no.

You should have retweeted it. Oh, it was funny. No, I was one of those Screenshot the tweet, put it on Instagram sort of vibe Nobody uses Twitter anymore What you should have done was screenshot it Well, you still can screenshot the tweet Put it on your Instagram story

And then I'll give you one of my Snapchat videos That you golfing, just hitting the fucking ground And just follow that up with that That would actually be pretty funny I love that when I said that Ben goes Fuck Ben is good at golf. There, I said it No

Now you're not good I don't like this topic. Mike's got a slown. Whoa. See, those are the jokes just don't hit like they used to with Mike and certain jokes. Why don't you guys just talk it out? I'm not going to talk out.

Because then we make a joke and then Mike doesn't think it's funny because the jokes about Micah. Before it was like me, CJ and Ryan and Ken if he was listening, would laugh. and we don't be like and now it's just me and CJ like kind of like chuckling but now feeling bad about it because Ryan's just like I'm not that I'm not that bad about it

I know that's why you have to keep realistically you have to keep the boy talk pretty universal you can't get personal with it otherwise it gets weird I agree now what do you mean what do you mean what

like we can't crack the joke about you being a golfer I'm not a golfer or I mean, I do it with him. I'm not a golfer. You guys heard what I said about that tweet. No, but for the record, that's why I prefaced it at the beginning. I said, this doesn't apply to me, but I thought it was funny.

I said that. I was like saying no offense before you say something offensive. Dude, he looked at Ryan as he said. I'm not a golfer. I'm not a golfer. Fuck me, dude. Be careful, Ryan. might.

Jesus. Whoa. Whoa. I do have a left field topic to change to if you guys like. Sure. I kind of want to, I wanted to get more into this, but there's nothing to get into. All right. You know, so I was watching another podcast, and they brought this up, and I never heard of

this animal. It's an animal. And I don't know how I've never heard of it. You'd think you'd see it on Instagram, and someone goes, holy shit, I can't I can't believe this animal exists. Ken, you have to pull this up. It's called a flying fox bat or an old world fruit bat, right? So you guys have seen flying squirrels.

I always wanted one. You've seen bats. Bats are kind of creepy and gross. There is a fox with wings that looks like a bat, and it's massive. It is literally mad. A fox with wings? It's a fox with wings, and it looks like a bat, but it's like this big, and the wingspan is like seven, six feet long. Where does it live?

What do? And I'd never seen one before. I was like, right? This is a real animal. Wait, look at the one where it's flying over the trees. Yeah, can we get a wingspan? It's actually pretty cool, dude. Holy right here.

I had saw it and I wanted to bring it up. Like, this is a dinosaur-looking thing. Dude, it looks like a dog. It's like a chihuahua. Yeah, it's like a... With some bat wings, dude. That is literally what it is. I think it's like probably similar size to a chihuahua or a fox, obviously.

So, yeah, it looks like a bat, and they hang upside down. How many are there? Is it like a pretty... Not many. Really? Yeah. I don't think it's like becoming extinct, but yeah, they're in the Philippines. And apparently they're not actually mean animals.

You know. Can they fly? Can they coast like a sugar glider? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they can't like take off. Not really, yeah. But anyway, I was like, can you believe that these like exist? I don't know.

Flying squirrels are cute, but bats are not. And when you mix a bat and a fox together, it's pretty gross. The funny story about bats, my mom calls me because she knew I was in Fargo, and she's screaming bloody murder. I'm like, oh my gosh, like, what happened? She goes, CJ, CJ, there's like a bat or something in the water case. So she bought this water case at the grocery store. I don't know if the bat was already in the water case or if it somehow crawled into it.

A case of bottled water. Yeah. It was unopened. And it was in the garage, and she opened it up and went to grab a water. And there was a fucking bat sitting in between, like in the middle. And it was looking right up at her. And she, of course, freaked out. She's not like that kind of stuff.

And calls me, of course. But anyways, she's like, I'm going to try and like push it out. So anyway, she managed to like push the case of water out into the driveway. It was really fucking cold that day. Screaming the entire time while she's doing me too. I just took like a broom. So anyways, I come home. She must be really scared of water.

And so I drive over there house after we're done eating. And I see this case of water out there. She's got a blanket over it. She threw a blank. I don't know why. Keep it warm. I don't know if she was trying to keep it warm or like make sure it didn't escape. I don't know what she was trying to.

You'd think you'd want to. Anyways. So I get out there and I pull the thing off and it's still in there. There was a bat sitting there. It was looking up at me. And I was like, oh. And, like, you know, I just left the thing off. And I was thinking it would leave or just be frozen in between all these waters.

Because they don't like cold. It seems like a terrible spot. For, I don't know if it was, I don't know how it would have called in there either. That bad must. Because the water was so fucking tight. The bat must have came from your house for the record. They don't like cold. I don't like, I don't know.

Unless it was in the water. Already? Prior. At the grocery store, though. Well, it comes from somewhere else before it gets to the grocery store. I'm just picturing, can you imagine buying a case of water with a bat in it? Dude, it comes with the included bat. Dude, I'm just telling you, I'm looking at where it was.

It was like in the middle of the case. But, like, things can, like, they can squeeze through. Because it would have had to. It wouldn't, it didn't get packaged up in their butts still regardless. It's a weird spot. Like, how to fuck does a, why would it go down and, like, you know, I don't know where, I'm, man. Either way, maybe their house has bats. Dude, bats are weird.

They're weird. They're kind of gross. Whenever I use. A couple of bats. In the walls, yeah. Back in his T-Ball years. The F-Gar-Gos. I actually, that was something I had to get used to,

was like, animals crawling in the walls. Yeah, that shit was bad. Yeah. I thought it was squirrels. You know, I think it was squirrels for the record. But it could have been a bat. You would hear. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. And then, like, pitter-patter through the walls. It's something I had genuinely had to get used to. Otherwise. Mm-hmm. At first, I was disturbing. I hate this. Yeah.

Bats, whenever you see them in a house, I remember being my grandma. parents house and you like it flew past me and i was like there's such a little black shadow animal that it seems like you're seeing some sort of it's basically just a rat with wings but i felt i'm like did am i seeing things they're gross huh is this some sort of weird dark omen thing what you need to get to fix a bat problem is a tennis racket really i'm already i'm already i'm already picturing cj just they hate tennis dude it's yeah i mean it's pretty aggressive think about smacking it with a or barn swallows you ever had barn swallows never actually hit one with a

tennis rack tried they're fast dude no you can if barn swallows will attack you and i've been attacked by barn swallows many a times uh they swoop at you one other life of you live they never land and they used to always uh yeah they put nests up underneath my parents boat lift growing up so you'd go into the boat and then they'd be in there and they'd get mad because they laid eggs and they would be flying around they'd soar and i'm not kidding you i've had it happened multiple times where it'd come back and fucking touch your hair like it came back and literally like tried like i don't know what the fuck it's trying to do but it like yeah but if you get a tennis racket i mean you can kind of figure out the rest a baseball bat that's pretty tough or a BB gun or airside in there no way yeah

i tried doing with a BB gun you get a shotgun but i mean your neighbors just shot on my window yeah you get tennis racket did you guys see um the story with jackson mahome they take TikToker, the brother of Patrick Mahom, the one of the best NFL quarterbacks right now. Is he actually one of the best? I'd say so. I'd say he's one or two, number one or two. He's like the next Tom Brady.

Okay. But no, I didn't, so. Okay, so his brother looks very similar to him, and he makes, like, TikToks, and he's kind of like, he's like a pretty popular TikToker. And I think he's, I don't want to, I'd assume that he's really only popular on TikTok because he is his brother and like he's always posting shit with him and like game day shit

and uh his his wife too is like besties with him and like they're just like really aggressive on uh on social media it's kind of weird because like they're always just like you just would have to go and look but they're very aggressive and like we always like they're always like fucking flaunting that they're like on the field with him and like it's really strange you think they would be like maybe more respectful yeah um but anyways uh you want to tell a story you want me too yeah you tell you probably know better anyways so i guess like jackson mahomes like tried going to this small bar so he's got a bunch of instagram followers now because he's whoever um jackson mohams went to this like small bar with his crew or something and uh there was like no

spots because there's a small bar and he had like a bunch of people that need to be seated they have room for him and he goes on his instagram starts like talking shit about the establishment right he's got this big platform and then basically like the the little bar like clapped back on social media and he is getting fucked like they just because they didn't do anything wrong they didn't they were like hey like I'm sorry that our bar is so small and we weren't able to seat your large crew of six that night we're also sorry about how you have a platform and you know use it bunch of savage stuff yeah yeah like you have a platform that you don't deserve and use it for, you know, harming a small business like

ours. I don't know. You'd have to go read it, but. Yeah, they were like, we were sorry that we were born and knew a famous family. Yeah. Like, get everything hands to it. It was pretty out there. They were, they were harsh.

Damn. But he kind of, I think it's generally observed by the internet that he deserves it. Yeah. That guy is a freaking, and he's annoying. I think there's, I think probably most of the. the internet hates him or yeah i think a lot of people do i guess just in for for me every single time i i see or hear anything about him it's people just talking shit about him how much he's a yeah he just thinks he's like a hot shot dancing there because of his brother like dancing on

other teams logos and yeah what the fucks he doing yeah i don't know you think jackson's like you think patrick mahomes like his brother would be like be like you're pretty good at this football thing you should probably tone it down because now like yeah i have have to deal with this i'm the fucking quarterback of this team like i'm actually good the coach would probably mad he'd be like yo you need to tell your brother knock it off like i mean the thing about that too is they share the same last name and people are out here buying my homes uh jerseys and supporting him and like you know reping him and then you got the little brother over here like shitting on local businesses in the hometown it was in in kansas city right so like a local

establishment and he's over here shitting on him on Instagram you know it's just like it's the things that I'm surprised are happening because it's like dude the older brother could just be like yo stop like I'm I am successful and you are now making me look bad yeah yeah like it goes to show that a lot of people that uh think they are famous act a lot more like assholes than the people that actually are yeah I agree with Yeah. There's like a, I see on TikTok too, and it's like guy who like is kind of rich and they're in the scenario is always a snooty asshole. And then it'll be like guy who's actually rich and he's always like, oh, my Mercedes won't be done. That's okay. I'll just deal with it. And it seems like that. Like people that are right on like the cusp of something are always. It seems like they got something to prove. I guess I can't say always because. Yeah. Yeah. But they got some to prove. That's why.

Yeah, that's true. But weird entitlement. Yeah, a weird entitlement thing. And maybe that's- Humbleness goes a lot way, a long way. A lot way. A lot way. It is interesting now.

I mean, we talked about it on the last podcast. Internet keeps you in check. Typically. Like people on the internet. Keep you in check. Typically, and typically ego is like not good. You do not want to have an ego in any way. It's only like really negative.

And I mean, everyone has an ego, whether it's this big or, this big you know but uh having as little of an ego as you can is gonna do you better than having a big one definitely you know who uh doesn't who like doesn't have an ego at all he's like absolutely one of the biggest stars right now uh tom holland i don't know if you guys are into spider man i heard ben oh go to spider man after this go see he was better tonight yeah but i'll be sick tom holland i didn't know he was australian either he's got like a it's like british british or whatever like i might whatever um but he i saw that this video of him and like everyone just loves him because he's very lovable and he's got this

video where he's just like who's your celebrity crush and then he's just like zendaya and then it shows that he's dating zendaya and then he goes dating zendaya yeah i think so yeah which is awesome dude zendaya's a lot of people's celebrity crush and so being able to actually pull that off is pretty crazy impressive then super young video of him it goes what kind of like superhero would you want to play in a movie if you ever did i think i like to play spider man maybe 10 years And then he's playing, like, he's crushing Spider-Man. And then they're like, what's a, like, a famous actor that you'd love to work with? He's like, Jake Gyllenhaal.

Yeah. And then he's, you know, he did that whole movie with him. So it's like, how can you hate on that? Like, he's just so nice and so humble and crushing it. Damn, manifested that shit. Yeah. That's crazy, actually. Yeah.

That's crazy. How long ago? Wait, when did he say that? Like, he was young? The Spider-Man, when he looked pretty young. But it's like, he's all right. He's still young now. He's like, like, 23.

I don't know. Oh, holy shit. I didn't know he's that young. Six years or something like that. Wow. Old TV interviews. That's insane, actually. So just going into, like, watching his movies, how the heck do Australian and

British people do such good American accents? Yeah, I know. I know it works vice versa, too. It's so impressive. I don't get it. It doesn't work in my brain. You guys watch Yellowstone? The show Yellowstone?

I haven't yet, but. Fantastic show. Anyone here watching? No, yeah. Just our side has. All right. Okay. You know, Beth?

is uh uh british what and she probably does a nice like rancher yeah like dude that's a good actor it's impressive so yeah i i think when american actor does a british accent i for some reason find it less impressive yeah i think i think it's probably easier to talk british than for british people to talk american i think so well you just imagine walking you know a bar and talking like an american to pick up a chick like you know people like talk british or something like that is like a really funny like i don't picture a british person like no no i'm i'm never been to uh britain or over in europe where they speak british like that but i speak english they just have an accent yeah yeah british i don't think that they

like americans though maybe i don't know why i did if i've heard that what you're talking about ryes you just said that they speak british that's some people say mexicans speak Then both of those are wrong. Yeah, I know. I did say, I thought Brazilian people spoke Brazilian. And we speak American. British accent? Hell yeah.

You know what I'm saying. British accents. Speak British with a, I heard one time. They speak English with a British accent. Sorry, I didn't know. Jeez, all right. You get what I'm saying, though. I heard like, never mind.

A British person like clap back one time or I don't know. They gave some scientific, realistic reason. And they're like, actually, British people, People have to move their mouth less to talk, which is true. You know, we say, the weather, the weather, we say er. They just say, the weather. Like, they don't have to. The weather.

Ken starts speaking to save on energy. I know. It's so funny. Brian's saying how he does things because he's lazy. Huh? How did you deflect that on me? Can't deflect that. What did you just say?

Ryan fucked up his exhaust because he was lazy. Did you just deflect being lazy on Ryan? I'm just saying. I'm not the only one here. Well, at least Ryan does aftermarket exhaust. On that lazy note. We need to get Ken of Riot Shield. That's it.

That's it for today. All right, guys. Why do we need to get Ken of Riot Shield? Deflections, man. You know what a fucking Riot Shield is? Wow. Okay. I'm an idiot.

We're all getting dumber. All right. Catch us next week with Ken with a British accent. And a ride shield. Can you come over here and give me just one good British sentence? Say, Erd, I got like that.

I want to hear what no sounds like with a British accent. No. No. No you can do. That's a new. Can do. That's a no you can do. All right.

All right, Steve. Peace. Peace. Oh, that was so fun.
