Good morning, Cormorant. To the three people in Cormorant listening. We got a great podcast for you guys today.

We're going to be answering some of you guys' questions that you had asked. a couple podcasts back we missed it on the previous one and then obviously we'll be talking about evan's new truck and all that i don't even know where we want to begin probably on the truck yeah ev how does it feel dude are you sad that your Chevy's gone um i'm maybe a little bit sad because it was a good truck and it never really it's kind of the end of an era evan a chef yeah but before that you had a Chevy too right yeah so it's almost like i've been driving the same truck for like five years yeah for those you that don't know what we're talking about uh this morning mike and i hijacked full on grand theft auto evans truck out of our

driveway as well as as dirt bikes both of them and then uh we basically kind of punked him and ended up surprising him with a new well new to him uh ford raptor that we had just like spent the weekend building up it's in our most recent youtube video it should be live now so You can go check that out, but... So we were looking to buy having a new truck for a while. All of us were on the same page. Yeah, let's get him another Chevy. That makes sense.

But then we were like, and that's, there's nothing wrong with that. Evan is Shev. It just made sense. Right. There's nothing wrong with a fresh Silverado, but we're like, what is something that could kind of generate more content? And that's when we started moving towards the Raptor. Well, also, though, I think the main thing was we were like, gosh, shit. Like, I want to get them something cooler than this.

Because there was, like, nice trucks. And there's not nothing wrong with those. but we're just like, I don't know. Like, we drive around cool cars. He should have a cool car, you know? Exactly. Didn't feel quite as special or exciting. Got a good deal on that.

It's pop a picture up here. Stock, silver Raptor, had Crandall come down, wrapped it. Had new wheels from custom offsets. Some of the sickest ones we could find. Wheels tires. Sick headlights from Mori Mode. It is sharp looking. Yeah, and it's like a 10 out of 10 Gen 1 Raptor as far as condition goes.

I'm not used to seeing them in that good a condition. Dude, and I think that's how it's like, I can't really be sad about the old Chevy going by when this Raptor is so sick. Yeah. Yeah, Ev, you've been just grinning all day. And I've been grinning, too. Dude, if someone just gave you a truck,

you'd be cheesing for at least $24. I would be too. Dude, it was nerve-wracking for us, though, leading up to this, because for one, we had to put it all together and then keep it a secret from you. We've had the truck for, like, three weeks now. Yeah, but, like, we finished wrapping. that thing an hour before you got here so like we didn't even have time to enjoy it we had to

pull it out get a couple of shots and then hide it away you guys are lucky i don't come into work early i know i was checking your location the whole time we're like he's an hour out he's an hour out and yeah usually we send him home for like i mean anywhere from two days the four days at most and then we sent you home it was you almost spent like a week at home six days at least comes back and gets a new truck damn i got to go on vacation come work at sea boys tv dude it was so awesome and uh the best part for me was i was hoping you'd shed a tear and you were so close and i'll take it dude evan you were about to cry when you a lot of emotions in general yeah you were at the low and then you went straight up to the highest high well dude the low of like

no insurance on my bikes insurance probably not covering my truck because i left the keys in it so i just lost everything to like gaining a sick truck that's a big turnaround in like two hours. Yeah, it was such a perfect storm, too, because obviously we had the golf ball bandit come last week and leave the golf balls. And then that same day, some random person, which I'm assuming as a podcast listener,

came and dropped off a lemonade stand that they had built for selling lemonade as well as the golf balls. There was no chubby kid with it, though. That was where I was cute. I was like, what, we got to find our workers. So it was like, wow, that's weird. And then when Mike and I came in the night and dump balls and stole it.

It was just like, wow. Like, it had to have been the same person. It all made sense. We're wearing masks and everything we could possibly do to make it look legit. So, like, I mean, I had a good time. He was so fun. I think I'm going to start stealing cars now. Yeah, I think Mike and I might turn to a life of crime after this because it's just, you know,

it was so easy. We might, hypothetically, but, uh, yeah, it was easy to. So, like, dude, when we were get, we got up at like five in the morning and, and, uh, like, got all of our stuff on blacked. our freaking we had mass and we're driving over there and I don't know about you but I was like just like kind of trying to get in character for it in the zone and I legitimately felt like man my life took just a turn and uh this is what it's coming Mike and I have just resorted to stealing vehicles and I was just like we're doing this and it worked I mean just the best part about

all of this is really hard to something that big especially like pan it out without any sort of sussed vibes or anything it's really difficult to do yeah there's so many variables that's why i was so nerve-racking because it's just one little thing goes wrong it's like the whole thing shot and kind of the surprise is shot and it's like we got you just wanted it to be good for the video and just everything and you looked so natural like i watched that security footage you know a bunch of times and i'm really looking for something in it and all i could see is two hoodlums making off with my truck and just getting more mad not thinking oh that's my friends just being like these pieces of crap the best part is when we rolled up and you still had your

bike in the back i was like this is perfect and then your pitter was leaning on it and we both just looked at each other and grabbed it and loaded that up too just took everything you owned left me with nothing your bike would have actually gotten stolen that would have been equally if not more sad than the truck yeah you just got that pride and joy yeah i mean you're getting mad too i because i i was laughing because i was like this is so funny because he's buying in on it but also then i had to like play it off and you're like oh oh oh oh oh oh my shit got stolen so funny cj i know did it i did feel bad because you could just tell that you were getting really rattled and i was like it'll be worth it because i know we're doing something good but if we're just doing that and just stealing it just

to play a prank on you, I would have felt so bad because I could see that you were obviously quite upset. And it sucks. When someone steals from you too, you feel so violated. I felt like I was going to puke. Like reality had said in that my truck actually got stolen. My bikes are gone. Maybe we're going to recover my total truck, which is what's that worth? Yeah. And it's just like, I guess I'm just going to have to try to, you know, I thought we were going to go film something else today so it's like how am i going to act normal while taking this big loss like i don't want to rub off on the crew that that was a total roller coaster there it was like part of you was about to vomit because you were so just anxious and upset and then the other part of you was like well you know we're

going to get this figured out we got we got a job to do here we got more things to film like you you were ready to like go we're going to film rollers of the broncos and you're you're ready to like just accept it just take the elf for the day you took it like a man yeah like once it's gone short of like calling the cops I guess and reporting it I mean you can't you could drive around and look but that's a waste of time you're never going to find it it just park it out down the road right in their front lawn so yeah I just figured it was a loss and just had to move on that was funny that was fun though straight up that was a lot of fun being that it all came together right now is one of the bigger like surprises we've done yeah it's a pretty intricate

prank i mean we had to hop in that other car and like there's a lot of moving components well have you fucking deserved that raptor yeah yes you've been here a short time but you've made a big impact and you love having you around no you 100% deserve it the worst part was having you be gone for seven days i missed you yeah yeah that was rough i think nicky appreciate it but i was getting lonesome that's good hey did you tell what's like uh like did you tell it nicky or your parents or anything yeah so i i told nicky because i actually called her this morning um when i thought it was sincerely stolen and and she was like oh those guys are probably playing a prank on you and i'm like no like and then i explained all x y and z on the security footage and we've already like whatever

talk to the sheriff and yeah it's not a prank this is real so then when i told her afterward i mean she was super hype she's been on me to like buy something nicer anyways and yeah i called my mom and uh she was super hype what she she well i actually let her down the trail that it got stolen like i went for a few minutes and she's like what's going on oh well this morning or last night my truck got stolen and went through the whole thing said whatever and we pulled up and then i like flipped the face time around to the truck and and yeah she's so confused she's like what yeah and so she was super hype super happy for me and what she say i don't even just that it's awesome just super happy i guess i don't even know cool that is awesome she didn't say anything about me though

nothing she said something about that annoying little ben I ask and then because I'm on cause of Ben Maybe this is just big news for me But last night I discovered something That I feel like could help a lot of people You know how when you're like laying in bed And your girl's like

I want to go to bed But you don't want to You want to keep watching YouTube on like the TV You can connect your AirPods to the TV Did anyone else know that? How fucking cool is that? Maybe it doesn't know that. I didn't actually.

That's a big impact on my life because I don't have to stop watching then and go to bed. But I could relate to that though with using the Xbox and the headset. Yeah, I guess. But I've never thought about watching TV with a headset. I'm laying in bed with my AirPods. It was the best. And it's just right there, too. Yeah, you connect it.

Bluetooth. I was amazed, actually. I don't know. Maybe it's not as big. No, that's pretty cool. But I thought it was a big deal. Let's move on to some of the questions that we had. been asked a couple of weeks ago.

I actually had something written down because I was genuinely curious because I've been thinking about it myself. I want to find something that's like a like a hobby that has nothing to do with work. Like nothing to do with work, nothing to do with like drinking, anything like that.

Just like a new hobby that I'm doing strictly because I enjoy it. No camera, nothing. And this is open-ended. You haven't found it yet. No. I was going to say, I just say golf, but you said no drinking.

Yeah, it's true. I guess you can drink. And you're thinking, okay, that golf would be a good one then. And you're thinking, you want to find something completely fresh? I'm just curious. Like, I got a big list of hobbies that, yeah, that I already have that I'd love to tackle. But what, what is something? I mean, it would be like, it'd be like golfing, yeah, fishing, two things that take a lot of time that I really enjoy doing that I strictly just don't do because they take time.

Yeah, too much time. You could, like, build one of those ships in the bottle. That's just, like, too much, I have. I mean, yeah, like, I'd be so mad doing that. Like, welding would be fun. Taring down, like, my old, like, my 150 and painting the frame black. Like, that, that, that, to me, seems, seems like a good time. Throwing rocks at trains.

Right. Throwing rock, like, hitting rocks with baseball bats. Oh, throwing big, stealing cars. Oh, my gosh. Stealing cars. Yeah. You want to do this, Mike? Me and you.

Could be your guys' new side hustle. Fuck, we know it would be profitable until we go to jail. I was just going to say, I was like, if you didn't get caught, it'd be a very good investment return there. And you guys kind of only did do the easy part. Like, turning the stolen vehicle into money is probably harder than getting the vehicle. Yeah, I'd agree. You just got to know the right guy.

Yeah. At the scrap yard? No, dude, you don't want to just scrap it. You want to sell it. If you steal a nice enough vehicle, you bring into the chop shop and they'll take certain parts off or you put it in a container and you get you know what never mind i don't want to you put in a container you ship it over to like uh zimbab where do they send it yeah they send it to just like third world countries pretty crazy yeah no i mean and they do that a lot with like the

mopar vehicles because they can steal them um yeah just the thing just like an iPad like it's basically some kind of i don't know what what's it called it's like a code repeater yeah what's it called when you have like uh uh a relay attack like the r code it's basically just like you have just like a key but you have it on your iPad and you can have it in there and it'll unlock the car start it and they drive that thing off so crazy like they for a while there was like a ring of people that were going around and hitting like dealerships they would like be in and out so goddamn fast with these like hellcats more so but can you imagine that being your line of business it's like modern day fast and furious i don't know why you do it

if you if you weren't like if it wasn't your business you know If you weren't making money off of it and doing multiple, I don't know why you'd do it. Like, why would you steal a car and flip it and just be done after that? I guess that's quick cash, but I feel you need it. Yeah, people who like steal cars and flip them, like, it's an ongoing thing. Well, I always think this when I watch like movies when there's like big drug dealers and stuff like that. Do you ever watch one of those movies and they get super loaded and you're like, just quit? Just quit.

You're already good, dude. You got more money. Your whole families, all the brothers. They're tearing off drywall and putting money in the walls in certain, certain, you know, drug-related. It just doesn't make sense. Like, they can't stop also. Well, whenever it's drug-related, then there's the higher-up boss, and then you say, I want to get out. And they're like, well, you want me to shoot you.

Yeah, you can get out. You know, like, that's sometimes how it is. Yeah, so anyways, that's what you do with the vehicle after you steal it. Send it to Zimbabwe. So you just need to make some connections in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe. then find a shipping guy also some shipping containers we could probably use the ones down below us

well fellas you want to get into some questions yes i would love to got a good a good handful of some good ones i filtered them out here we'll pull ben in here too howdy ben all right hit us with some of these good job ab congrats on the raptor dude the only thing you're wrapped your raptor needs now i realize it is this shocker on the back we were gonna we were actually gonna get a sticker for the back that says hog on board you guys listen to the podcast you know evans hog and then we were thinking well what if we just went a step farther and then we just got a license plate made for him that just said hog or big hog or the hog something like that honestly he's so good cruising around town he goes back on big hog yeah he thinks he's just the man or something so sudden's changed the dude

rolling around with a neon green dirt bike in a bright red fire truck raptor the dude's ego is just massive now he's a part of junior firefighters association yeah the firefighters of america but also i mean i forget about this sometimes too because there's the fun aspect of it and all of our fans seeing it so like steve as my license plate i love it's hilarious and then people who also watch the channel and this and that that's funny steve then i forget random people that see it then i don't let me it's not so funny that's anyone ever say anything about i think that should be a stipulation nobody has to get a fucking custom license but no oh yeah Yeah, totally.

The hog or big hog. But so again, if fans are seeing him, it's all good. We're seeing him. All the people that know what's going on, don't think anything of it. Ha ha, that's funny. Other people are like, this dickhead. Yeah, driving a bright rap. Do you think people look at like hog like he's a dick?

Well, yeah. If it says big hog and I jump out of the drive. They're going to look at him. I don't know. It's just an idea. Sleep on it. What's it like staying in your. hometown as adults. I'm from a small town and think about whether or not I'll stay or leave

after school. Where did all you guys want to end up? I've heard this many times. I think people are like, no matter what you do, you don't have to move away forever, but move out of your hometown. I definitely believe in that. It can be for a year. Move somewhere else at some point for some period of time. Get away from your hometown just so you know something else. So I believe in that. I think I would But I have no idea where The thing is Is if we weren't doing YouTube

The only other occupation We could do is like work at a gas station Or be like a bartender Oh yeah I mean that's I suppose yeah You can drive back and forth There's a lot of

I mean a lot of stuff you can do I guess I was just thinking of like What you would do Like living directly in Cormor Like there's not It's basically a village So you don't have a whole lot of options You could definitely do well having a lawn mowing business or being a bartender.

True. Honestly, I get asked that question by my girlfriend a lot because, you know, like she's like, I don't know if I want to live here in like this small town like the rest of my life or if I do like come back here, you know, will I regret not leaving for a couple of years if like I want to come back and like start a family and like live here forever? Like would I regret not leaving for a couple years? I'm like, honestly, I have. understand, but like now where we're at is like, I don't really have an option, so I don't even

think about it. Yeah, definitely. Whereas like, what am I going to do? Just up and sell the shop, quit the YouTube channel and then go and start a completely different occupation. Otherwise, I have to convince five of my best friends to move with me somewhere and, hey, guys, let's just, let's move somewhere else and just keep making videos. I think that you should go wherever you want to be. If you're happy where you're at, stay there. I personally love it here Me too I love it here

And we're legitimately the youngest people Here that walk around At least it's socialized with other people Because dude So for instance there is a There's a benefit at one of the restaurants That we go to a lot And they ask if we donate

So I went over there and brought a bunch of merch And 5-09 helmet and some stuff from all of us To donate to the benefit and I walk in there, it's already hopping at the restaurant. I've never been there so early because it was at like 5 o'clock. Normally we're still filming or working or doing something. But I went in to step, you know, just drop stuff off. Everyone there is probably 50 plus average age over 60 because they're all retired,

you know, and they retired and they had money and they got these lake homes. They're just about to leave and go to Florida for the winter. But everyone's saying, hey, how's it going? And I'm talking to them. And I was like, honestly, before I even got there, excited to go in to see who I would see. And I just, I don't know. I just love it here. I like the people.

Yeah. So I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. That's still an option, though. If you guys have been listening for a while, last year we talked about after we went to Florida, we were like, shit, we should buy a place here. That's still an option. We might do that. But then again, if we get like wifed up or have kids, then we're kind of back to like. Travel back and forth.

Yeah, I mean, we were still talking about it. could they do that like i don't know if we have like that option if you go for a certain periods of time think about actors or other businessmen or whatever they sometimes have to go for the week and then they come home for you know another five another week and how do you think they feel about us just going to florida for a week well how do you think they'd feel when we're i i know what you're saying but i'm just thinking about it from like that yeah that was actually one of the questions i'd forgotten to copy it in but it was like what happened to florida because last year we were so hooked on it.

That's still on the cards and like you said we are tied at the hip and the only way that it would ever work is that we all do it together and I that we would do that because we talked about it and logistically that would work. It would actually work for us to rent, lease, possibly buy a place in Florida and do a month or a month and a half off and on there in the winter. I was driving around thinking

why nothing has progressed on Florida and I thought about us and I go we kind of tend to deal with whatever's in front of us and once summer came we went and we're not thinking about florida but like december is going to hit and we're going to be like yo we need to get a place in florida totally totally i don't know why and i know renting is not ideal i just kind of like the idea of at least the first winter doing it getting your right wet yeah yeah exactly test it out see how often you use it if it's actually something that would be good but then you don't really have your own land type of stuff which is a

problem too but i don't know and it turns out thank goodness we didn't buy a place in florida Yeah, so I want to talk about this, too. Not saying that we would be on the water, but it sounds like, I mean, obviously there's a lot of damage and that, that sucks, dude. Like, I feel bad for anybody who's in Florida or owns property there that has taken a loss right now. Because as we've been finding out, at least I newly found out, if you're close to the water and your house gets messed up, insurance don't cover it. Like leaving your keys in your truck? Yeah, same thing. Yeah, this is worse.

Well, so, yeah, we have like our friend Levi. He's down in Sarasota And he's an apartment building And he stayed And he's been sending me videos And it is crazy I never realized really Like so

Hurricane Ian Fricken Ian Hit and it was I think like a hundred And like 40 mile an hour winds And it's been having They've been having 140 mile an hour winds

For like 14 hours at this point That's not the gust That's the steady That's the wind Like the storm is literally moving at 10 miles an hour so it's effectively like having a tornado

over you for an entire day and it's raining it rained like 15 inches when around the wall 15 inches of rain so is this a bad hurricane it is like how often does a hurricane of this size 5 something like this has never hit Florida

and I believe this is one of the most powerful hurricanes ever oh wow yeah like it really bad historical I shouldn't say No one's getting hurt Obviously yeah Like I mean

Hopefully people were able to evacuate So what was Like they had a good warning Yeah they definitely had the warning What came up? What was Hurricane Katrina Because I was similar That was devastation

But that's what comes to my That was Louisiana right That was New Orleans I thought Yeah yeah yeah Dude I think they It seemed like I remember that As a kid and seeing it Yeah that was

Were they caught like Were they not suspecting it Were they caught off guard Because there was like people So many dead It's because New Orleans sits below sea level And like all the levees failed Oh

Yeah people were like trapped on their roofs People died There is oh it's terrible Yeah and I think it's just because it was There's so many people They just can't like what are you gonna do I mean obviously you should leave And some people don't have anywhere to go

Yeah you can It's like what are you gonna do Or you'll sleep in your car You don't have money You don't have a car You're like what do you do Straight up And everyone's trying to leave

You can't leave you know So but So, like, what's going on now in Florida to, like, all these buildings? So is it flooding or is it just ripping the roofs off of them? The worst part is the storm surge, which I believe this is like the worst storm surge storm ever. And they're getting like up to 15 feet. So like the ocean is rising 15 feet. I'll pull up videos of Four Myers Beach, which is a place like I've vacationed.

Like it's getting into the second level of houses across the entire island. What? Like the island's pretty small. like probably a mile wide so the entire island is covered in like probably 10 feet of water and it's just like literally ocean waves just rolling through the town like it it's the most crazy thing i've ever seen it's like complete destruction yeah and uh i mean all those places i don't even know like what that town's going to be like i don't even know how you can rebuild because insurance doesn't pay for if you're in a certain zone you were telling me like

dude where do you go from there fucking money down the drain. Yeah, so that's the worst part. No insurance will cover it. You get like FEMA will pay for some of it, but I think it was like 200 grand. Best case. And that's like if they give you everything

and he's like, you don't really get that. You know, you never get the max. Like at the end of the day, you probably just have a bunch of, you know, if it's as bad as it's going to be and is bad, the country comes together, just like Katrina, people come down. People come to visit and help out

and do whatever. Volunteer. It's all volunteer. people donate but like that money goes to the worst of it but it's still it's like what are you gonna do is everybody going to rebuild the houses exactly exactly so this i'll pull up his graphic is it is it only hitting the golf yeah what's Miami looking like uh Miami's on the other side I think Miami will be okay we can go I think one of the craziest I haven't seen a whole lot on it but I saw this is the craziest gravity this is how much of the area will be flooded like that's like Legitimate underwater flooded.

No way. My girlfriend's dad actually lives right next to Cape Coral. And he's got a boat on the lift, like a nice-ass boat. So I don't know. Maybe insurance covers that. I have a fucking idea. So in summary, Minnesota can suck. We got blizzards.

We get rain. It's not all that nice here always. But there's two things we don't have. One fucking hurricanes and two, we don't have. Every bug can't kill you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that about, like, Arizona, too. I'm like, at least I don't have to worry about being stung by a scorpion in my sleep, you know?

And big ass snakes. There's up a lot. Yeah, well, definitely be thinking, praying about them. Yeah, the whole, like, about all of them, like, like, that map that you just showed is, that makes me way more heartfelt about it. Yeah. Yeah, I had no idea. It was that bad.

Yeah, it's pretty narrow. And, of course, you know, there's media always sensationalizes things. So it'll be interesting to see what really happens. But yeah, it's crazy. You click around on Snap Maps and it's like everybody like a foot of water in their front yard. You know, like yeah, crazy. Okay. So I got to, this is actually one of my favorite questions by OG Rippers.

If you guys couldn't drink, how do you think that would affect your life? We'd be fine. I think we'd be like absolutely killing it. We'd be so much more productive. our relationships would flourish Probably not as happy though I don't know I don't think we'd have as much fun

Yeah we wouldn't have as much fun Probably be happier Maybe but we'd live a much healthier Healthier and happier Yeah I guess that's like a boring answer But it's like exactly what you think would happen Yeah Do any of us like Mormons dude

All they we already pretty much Only work now I think of it like straight up But you would really only work Like you would just like get done working here And then you'd probably go home And start working on something else What else you're gonna do? We just work and play

There's no in between There's no relaxation And the line sometimes is Well most time is blurred It's like where is the work and play You're already kind of doing it Yeah anyways but Start playing

Or even I think there's something to be said about I mean Evan can definitely contest this But we all can And so if you're about to mow the lawn, you're like, well, let's get a little loaded up on T's. I mean, like, I'm the same way with, if I'm going to work on my dirt bike, I will start cracking them. And it's like, what, how much faster could I work on my dirt bike if I wasn't cracking open teas or beers? Yeah, you'd have that 150 frame powder coated by the time.

I would, yeah. Like, it's stuff like that. C.J. would have already found his other hobby. Yeah. It is funny, though. I'd have a lot more money in my bank account. I'll tell you that. So how much did you spend as well?

Sorbas this year. Oh, yeah. Oh, well, I don't know how much I've spent this year, but so the way Zorbas works is it's just like this restaurant, but also a hop and bar for a lot of the summer people that come around here, because keep in mind, we live in a vacation area, but we still go there a lot. Anyways, we'll, and our buddy Brian owns a bar. Anyways, so they give you these cards if you're a local, and it's like a benefits type of card. So basically every time, everybody can have it. Yes. No, it's a local's card. It's called the locals card. Anyone can have it. It makes you feel better. Never mind.

Anyone can get this rewards card. You swipe it every time that you spend money there and it keeps track of it. And then they'll like, when you spend certain amounts, it like adds up and you can win like a free t-shirt or like a free beer or a free pizza. Anyways, I got a $100 gift card, which is like the end of the road rewards card. That's like the highest reward you get. You are a top-tier customer. And I asked him, I was like, what? How much did I have to spend to get this?

$10,000. Whoa. I've spent $10,000 when I swipe my rewards card at Zorbas. And I got my rewards card in 2019. So that means I've done that in three years. That's disturbing because we only go to Zorba's like 25% of the time. That is true, dude. There's so much other restaurants.

You got to buy groceries. I don't know. I just, uh, I was just pretty happy about it. I said, hey, you know, thank you for that. I'm glad I'm able to help support. And, uh, thanks for the good. So good at supporting local businesses. That stressed me out when you told me that because I don't know when I got my locals card.

It was before 2019, but I've also hit that too. Yeah, so you've done. And I was like, oh, they used to give a bottle of Dom Parian. Oh, that's cool. Cool. I thought that was cooler because, oh, I got a $100 gift card to a restaurant. I eat and drink at all the time. Dude.

Like, who cares? It kind of, but the Dom kind of cool, pop it up with your friends. Our buddy Ben, he's a little bit, well, he's probably got, I don't know. eight years on us he's done it four times whoa four times he's gone around the sun is what they were right yeah that's 40 grand well shit dude you've done it three and i've done three years yeah don't give up man don't give up bro hey by the fourth or fifth one you might have found that hobby though you know right i don't know though to answer the question honestly we have a lot of fun outside of like filming and everything that is just kind of like brought out not

by booze but just like because of us just like kind of being in like a different atmosphere and like more relaxed true it's like we're always just like go go go grind and grind and grind and and then that's like our time to kind of just like just like cut loose and have a good time and we still sometimes are working while we're drinking or party we're connection we're making connections and we're you know hobnobbing and shit like It's a nice little reward sometimes because, like, you're working hard, like, throughout the whole day and you're like, man, like, when I get done with this and I have a beer with dinner, it's like you're looking forward to that and you're like, we got to work hard and get this done, make this happen. This is how we justify it. I think this is the first form of that's a terrible horizon.

I don't know. But it's just like a nice way of rewarding yourself for doing good. There is like truth to that because there's plenty. I almost called us athletes, dude. Whoa. But there's like a lot of events that we go to. to let's just say like some of the athletes some of them don't drink or a good reason they're whatever they're keeping her fit keeping her good but we go to we we we go on trips and stuff

and if we didn't do that aspect like go out booze it up like we wouldn't meet the like fans that we meet like other you know otherwise we would just like hang out i guess like in our hotel room or or like go bowling or something i don't know but like but we go like i don't know when we went to like Revelstoke or something we just end up like having the craziest times and we wouldn't do that if we weren't planning on going out to drink right like I agree I agree completely fuck dude you talked to talk to me into it I'm gonna keep drinking you kind of got me fired up there Mike kind of got those are some of my like favorite times like I just saw uh like a clip of Axel Hodges at Redbud and he's like I you know I'm pretty sure he wasn't the only one to

use his line but he's like i came here to ride dirt bikes and drink beer and i'm done riding dirt bikes for the day and everyone's like yeah they're just like so pumped well people like that and and everyone was so pumped that he said that and they're like yes we're all this you know we're all the same so yeah it's a good aspect of it what's what's another question how do you guys have these hilarious podcasts knowing your parents are just listening to everyone uh hey mom act like they're not Evan's mom listens Yeah

My dad told me this weekend Yeah me and your mom were watching some of the podcasting She said You can't tell Evan we watched you She said you Dude honestly I'm pretty used to it at this point Like everything we do is basically online

That's the world to see And like the parents have been watching I would much rather have my parents watch These podcasts than our old videos that's what I was going to bring up to it I remember when we first started making our old videos we would we had such potty mouths and it was just not even like they weren't even good swears we were just swearing to swear and I remember my family telling me to us to you know oh it'd be better if you didn't swear and we were like no fuck that dude and then uh now I look back and I go

yeah I wish we didn't maybe swear as much honestly me personally I just don't really have any problem with it just comes with the territory and my parents are uh i mean think they're all supportive i'm 26 now like and i really haven't ever hid that much from them like i remember like when i was a senior in high school i'd been drinking beers and stuff and it was no like hidden thing in our family obviously they didn't support it it's like i really haven't hid that much i was like yeah i'm going there to drink some beer and like i don't know i was always you're great i've always been transparent yeah no it's quite the opposite because like I mean, I don't know if anyone knows this, I know you guys do, but for the first, like, year, I would say year of our channel, maybe more.

I didn't even tell my parents that it existed. No way. Yeah. I did not know that. Because I knew we were not clean at all as far as language and a few other things, but mostly language. And I just was like, if they don't watch the videos, I'm in better shape. So I just, they didn't know the channel existed until after a year of it. But also, dude, it's like, this is, you know, if you're not relying on them, like,

realistically, like, once you're an adult, you can do whatever you want, dude. Like, yeah, it might be, like, embarrassing. I was just, it's still embarrassing. You can have that, but also it's just, like, it's the same thing. Like, I remember when I was a kid, I used to be, like, so, like, embarrassed of the idea of, like, having a girlfriend. Because, you know, when you're, like, when you go to, like, your, you go to, like, your family, like, you got a girlfriend yet?

And they kind of, like, razzy a little bit and stuff. And I always just think, like, this would be so. Like when I grow up and actually get a girlfriend, like have to bring her like around and stuff. But I don't know. They're just people too. Like your parents have probably done all the same stuff that you've done. Did your parents say anything about the Evan Hogg podcast? I don't know if my parents honestly watch all of them.

Yeah. My dad always says it's tough for him to keep up on his drive. So yeah, he misses some. Some. That was like the one that my mom was like, I had to turn it off. Really? Yeah. That one was more.

My dad. My dad, that was so funny. Yeah, it's hilarious. I think he congratulated Evan next time he saw him. Every time I see him, he makes a comment like, the hog. Yeah, everyone loves Evan's hog except for Ben's mom. Thank God. All right, what else we got?

When one of the boys uses their own vehicle toy asset in a video, do they get more of the ad rev from that video than the other boys? For instance, the main bit in the video is Ryan doing a burnout or flipping a jet ski, causing it to pull up and cost him thousands, does he get compensated? Almost never. No, I mean, my back bumper's all burnt and on fire. I had to buy a whole new back bumper. I was like five grand for the GTR and like it was kind of part of it.

It was a risk I had to take. Right. And I was willing to take too. I was like, that was a if you won too because I was like completely my fault. Whose fault is it? Clearly mine. It's like one of those things that I could have paid 5Gs for the. And then next thing I know.

I'm like, I just spent $10,000 to race, Ken, essentially. But you also like benefit from it. And also at the same time, it's we do determine certain things. And we're like, oh, like, hey, let's say Ryan had his TRX or something. And let's say it wasn't under warranty or whatever. And we were like, go drifted through the snow and he ends up messing up a CV axle. Or even the tires. You're going to break your tire or your destroyed tires.

Yeah. So, like, for instance, on Ryan's Camaro, this is a better example. He went and did a drift course with it. And then he also did the burnouts when you first bought it. We said we'd buy you the, you know, new set of tires for that. Stuff like that. But stuff like that. That's like predetermined.

That is a good question. I would say it would also be a nightmare from the accounting side. Oh, yeah. Oh, because like what you guys got to realize also or the guy asking the question is like the videos make money forever. like they make money forever so it's like that's true so what the last 400 videos are broken up into percentage of like who gets what i always look at it as it's for the greater good yeah yeah many days someone else is doing more than me and so if that's my thing it's like this is my time to shine this my time to pull my weight totally yeah i think everyone's

kind of at that point too like i don't i don't want to yeah has anyone ever really lost out other than like Ryan's jet ski I feel like other than that. Really the only time your transmission for sure. I'm still but I feel like his transmission he bought a 2002 WRX and launched it a couple times like that was bound to happen at the end of the day I think it's just your jet ski

other than that I think it's all positive. Like my clutch like my clutch went out in the Evo when I raised Mike and like I had to buy a new but that's like a wear part you know that's true. They think this is the wrong word to use but like we keep it pretty loose as far as everything goes definitely the

wrong word to use but like we we keep it loose as far as what we um nothing's cutthroat oh well seriously like i feel like i should get some money for that there's none of that there's there's nothing there's no we're not yeah like if if honestly if someone was like pretty entitled to like some kind of earning it's already there yeah it's already there's there there never puts up a fuss yeah there never has to be a i don't think this is fair like which is incredible i would say honestly we're pretty lucky like we never really fight about money like no one we're all very very giving like i was thinking about this today relative to other youtube channels that are way bigger in us make way more money in us

we give away more than a lot of people i would say 99% of them and we give away like bigger things too like i don't know i just feel like we're very uh gracious and i i'm i'm not saying about me but just everyone like we are we just give away a lot it's more fun but yeah What Ryan said, to recap like that, I mean, for the greater good, that's all of our moods for the greater good. I think the other thing to reflect on what you said, CJ, is everyone has like the same ownership in the bank account, right? So it's like it hurts a little bit less because it's only one fifth yours. So it's like, oh, let's give away a $10,000 unit. Well, it's like you'd be only in like two grand personally if you were to like take that $10,000 and like pay it out.

So it's like, you know, it's like a little bit less, like personal wise, I guess. You still have skin in it. Yeah, you still have skin in it, but it's not just like straight yours. But then on the other side of that, like, dude, if we were just like a one solo YouTuber, like even just making, making like what the company makes for us and grand, we spend so much money. But like one solo guy, like I think about like Brain Price talking to Miller last time, like we know how much he's making and he's one guy like that dude's bawling yeah yeah you know and then it's really hard to like get in their mind of like damn why don't they like spend more on videos or or like

reinvest more because you know how much they're making i agree i've thought about that for sure too as a single or a duo group pulling the exact same numbers doing the same things we are as far as numbers it'd be unreal and then i'm like wondering why they would you know you want to know why Not all of them are into certain things. Like, let's say a lot of people, YouTubers can't make videos on cars. So they can't really justify buying a dope car. And maybe they're not super into it. We are lucky that we can pretty much make a video and make anything entertaining.

Not trying to sound cocky or anything, but like we just are good at having fun with legitimately anything. Like I can go buy 12 basketballs and we will make an awesome bit with them blowing them up. Like it's just, it's easy for us to justify pretty much anything. Like, I can't think of anything that I've boughten that wasn't used for video, straight up. Like, it always is, it always turns back around and, and makes entertainment. You've filled your house with barn animals. Yeah, like, I buy a, the one thing I thought wasn't. And then that end up being good, too, you know?

Yeah. I had a meeting with our accountant last week. And he was just like, look, I'm in the passenger seat. You're the driver. I can tell you what to do. but at the end of the day, you're driving the ship, you're driving the car, you make the decisions and I'll just tell you, I'll just be the passengers saying, oh, maybe do this or put your blinker on here, but you know what you're doing.

That's good. I think that's a good answer. I don't know. How do you guys handle the idea of long-term success with content and staying away from too much repetitive content? I feel like this kind of goes in with the money thing too. We just keep reinvesting. Exactly.

And keep reinvesting and keep reinventing. growing because some this sometimes we like to uh i mean everyone likes to do something that no one's ever done before but there is such a thing as reinventing especially on youtube reinvent something that's been done you're not copying it by any means you're reinventing so reinventing and reinvesting but we're pushing how to do stuff better to do stuff bigger how can we do this even in a in a better way of filming it how can we make the storyline better you know there's so many things that we and we've only better with time. This is the first year that I can remember in a very long time. This is the first year I can remember us not having to like think of ideas. Like we have so many there's so many

possibilities and I think that is one us opening up our like span or our mindset in one how much we want to spend on a video but also going down to one a week taking more time getting more creative stuff like that. We had so many ideas. It's just a matter of making it happen. Like, it takes a lot to put together a video, even like surprising everyone with this Raptor. We had to find the Raptor. We had to find a good one. Get cram-al. And we had to get all the parts. We had to get Crandall here. Like, it was so many moving components. It's been in the process for like a month. We put the time in and, uh, yeah, I mean, I don't know. We make it happen, dude. But yeah, I guess, especially in the last six months, it's been like, normally it's like,

what are we going to do next? I mean, it's, it's a fun thing, but it's, it's very, really stressful because it's hard we're like turning down videos right now but now yeah it's like okay we how do we schedule what we are about to do which is such a dope thing that's how i like this summer every summer's been great all summers are great but like this summer has been incredible because we have not really had to it's just like what video should we do scramble or stress ourselves out over what we're going to do yeah it's just like what can we get here and like what's the best way to do this and how can we do what are this idea the best Yeah.

Yeah. So, I mean, as far as the question, like, what do we think about the longevity of that? I mean, I think we're only getting better. Other than the thin ice fids, we've never really repeated ourselves. Straight up. We never have. And even if you watch all this, like, I guess they might have gotten to a point where they started feeling repetitive. But that was just because at that time they were going so viral, it only made sense to keep pumping them into the algorithm. But, like, otherwise, like, you really don't see us do too many things twice.

other than maybe ride the track on like pit bikes or dirt bikes. But even that, we've never done the exact same thing. That's why it's like we don't, people always say like do more riding vids. For one, we feel like we're copying ourselves. We feel like we're just doing the same thing again.

It's like we just did that two weeks ago. Let's do something new. Right. To keep stuff fresh. I'd say, yeah, that's the only thing that would ever get repeated. Like, you know, we probably do a little less snowmobiling videos now,

but still a lot of snowmobiling. That's going to feel like it's repeated because a video of, A snow machine doing something is probably going to feel like another video of another snowmobile or snow machine, whatever. But other than that, like, yeah, we're only getting better. We're only progressing more. And we're still doing the videos with the snow machines, you know. That's what I love it. There's still going to be some.

We just space them out. That way it doesn't feel like we're copying ourselves. Whereas if you're a YouTuber where you're like, all I do is make dirt bike videos. And in the way, that's how you start repeating yourself. It's like, how the fuck, what do I do next? You put yourself in a box. Luckily for us, we like doing pranks. and making our friend think his car, the truck got stolen

and blowing up basketball. Yeah, last thing on that, it's crazy to think way back. I know we've maybe mentioned this before, but the repetition thing, it's how we got started doing just about everything, like you said, made the Shifter Car video, and we were so stoked because it blew up, got 30K views or whatever.

And we were like, well, should we get another Shifter Car? Should we make another video soon? let's just let's go rip that thing let's make another shifter cart video at cj said no if we make another shifter car video and let's say we make another one after that guess what we are a shifter cart channel you guys want to be that no and it was just some proper insight and then what came to be what it is now like where we don't repeat we try not to repeat ourselves yeah yeah that's the beauty of the channel also like dude nobody knows what our next video is going to be straight up. Nobody knows what our next

bit's going to be in a video. I hate to drag this question on any longer, but I've gotten to the point where I look at like YouTube algorithm and like the best way of maximizing your viewer retention and obviously the higher your viewer retention is your retention is the longer

that a person watches the video. If they watch the whole video from start to finish, that's 100%. If they watch half of it, it's 50%. You want a high viewer retention because that makes you to push your video to more people. You can get more viewers. You can get more subscribers, more success overall. If we would just do one solo bit, like whatever that the thing is titled and

thumb out after, we only did that. And when it's done, it ends abruptly. That'd be the best way at maximizing our viewer retention and possibly even just getting us more views, more subscribers overall. But at the same time, it's like, we've just done it this way for so long where it's all these bits. And I feel like it's just more entertaining. And it's more like personable.

and it just makes for a way better show if you can get into it and start connecting with the characters and all that and is made for a much slower route in my opinion but at the same time it's like we got some of the best subscribers on YouTube in my opinion because they feel like they know us because they have been so involved in our lives because we don't just go and do a video of us doing the one thing and keep it right to the point like

like we add our touches in and yeah so i don't know i've thought about that though quite a bit yeah i agree i mean the slow grow has built the best following the best supporters doing it the way we have yeah yeah mike uh here's a question for just you where do you get the ideas for clothing designs slash who would be a dream client to do graphic design or clothing work for uh well the ideas come from all over luckily we live in a world surrounded by basically the internet you know social media luckily i have these guys sending me they'll say this is sick and then send it over and then i go that is sick you know save it boom on to there uh there's plenty of places online to get inspiration there's plenty of places

online to get like design elements but dude i don't it's always been just sit down okay what's cool i bring up the ones that i do have saved kind of go off there kind of go i don't even know dude it's weird i the process it's incredible because you're putting out like what 30 new designs like every six weeks right you guys should see mike's font book like like mike's puke board of the designs that don't get used i call it the puke board because dude like sometimes he'll be like oh i feel like we should use one more shirt and we're sitting there is there in our merch meeting i go dude pull up your puke board and we'll pull up its puke board and there'll be a thing on there from like four months ago. I'm like, dude, that's fucking sick.

Like, let's do that. Or then we maybe alter a tiny bit, but... Yeah, it'll pull it's got endless designs. Pull up the pew board from four drops ago. Yeah, and then it's like, well, wait, I never even saw that from last time. So that's fun. But yeah, even the font thing, if those of you don't know

what fonts are, it's the... I don't even know how to describe a font, but the way of text... People know what fonts are. I'd like to think so. How many fonts do you think you have? I'd do, like, over 2,000. That... Holy shit. Dude, talk about how, I've just seen him type out. So I'll go, all right, life wide, open, three bars.

Okay, let's look for a good font. Scroll on, scroll, scrolling, scrolling, scroll, scrolling, scrolling, scroll. When are we going to hit the B's? Yeah. Scrolls, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. B. Scroll, scroll, scroll, C. Like, it's like, holy shit thing.

It's starting to get to the point now where it, like, takes me too much time because I go through all of them. There's a beautiful thing called Control Z. So make, like, a logo or a design, and then copy it. and then tweak it slightly copy it again change the colors copy it again change the colors again copy it again add a different symbol um so that's that is the process pretty random but also like how creative do you think you are or versus how talented at making designs are you would you say it's more creativity or it's just being better at running illustrator uh altering stuff that is already out there as yeah as time has gone

on I'm not really ashamed to admit this as time has gone on it's less creative and better at doing what I do better at um finding the right shirt for this because I mean there's some designs that I completely knock off you guys have seen that and then there's other designs that I those are like the dummy zone like auto zone like people know they're not go nuts over and they love them yeah so those and like the the Coors light one in particular I've loved since the since I finished it because the C for C Boys and the L for Life Wide Open the light like it's perfect so those ones you know you sit down I'm still proud of that because like I changed a logo that isn't supposed to be blah blah into that and sometimes like I can't draw at all you guys know that

I mean I really can't so if someone else on Fiverr has to draw it for me that's okay with me as long as the design looks cool yeah we still pay for it yeah we still pay for it still curating it you know i think that like i almost consider myself like a a merchandise a merch drop curator yeah you're like a merchandiser right like i get the garments and get everything where it needs to be but at the end of the day if i if like i'm just changing the words of a cool looking badge that's okay with me like because at the end of the day we're just making merch that we want to wear that's cool that we hope you guys want to wear too i think something maybe to add just that we realized is it's not always about being the most artistic or the most creative it's just like

sometimes the most simple things go crazy like dirt bikes yeah just a basic font right on the shirt simple people love it goes sells out three times in a row like it's like no can do you know it's creative in a different way yeah exactly creative in a way that also brings in a character like look at danny duncan and virginie rocks shit goes nuts i mean that what do you do this year like 40 million in merchandise sales or something like that crazy i don't know where we're we saw that but yeah i saw 50 he said it's valued at 50 million i don't know if that's 50 million revenue or just valuation that's that's crazy and uh that's something that we've learned over time is we used to think like it was all about how you know necessarily like putting like the most

artistic touch and i sometimes see that with like even editors they try to make this whole cinematic thing out of something that it's just like just show the fucking thing dude you know like and we used to do that when we were first like in our early stages of editing I feel like we would make something that doesn't need to be this whole cinematic thing cinematic and it's like oftentimes just make the thing dude you know just show what people

want to see right don't overdo it you know I don't know but also sometimes you got to overdo it like look at easy like Kanye West his shit is overdone yet simple you know I guess some of us but anyway sorry that's why it's endless

like it'll that's the best part is that it's endless it can be ever changing will probably always do merch because I really enjoy doing it and it's just it's fun but I feel like we never get like backlash on merch or anything like that either that's why I really enjoy it doesn't feel it doesn't feel for me especially or for any of us it doesn't feel like this money making thing we have going on like like it's for some YouTubers it really is it feels like a genuine like outlet it's all we wear to support us and it really is all we wear like when we were going to go rob evan of his vehicles i'm looking in my

claws i'm like dude i straight up don't have anything that says c boys tv on it so i had to wear a seaboy's tv sweatshirt with a flannel over it like that's the only thing i could find yeah god damn that reminds me can you bring me that shirt or evan can you bring me that shirt dream collab though real quick but yeah figure that up mike and conia west he said person that i would design for like what's your what's your favorite brand that you would make a logo for or some kind design for me i'd be like sick to collab with like vans yeah i can see that that'd be sure which is very skater-esque and it's not so much our up our subscribers alley but drink apple juice because oj will kill you brilliant i love goofy shirts and that reminded me of it and so i'm going to

start wearing i've been curating a ton of goofy shirts that i'm going to wear every podcast but i keep forgetting because i want to put them on until you guys see me i love that my buddy ken did that one time. Yeah, it didn't end up very well for him. I saw a really funny shirt earlier that Ken I think would absolutely love. Let me pull it up here. Yeah,

I thought that this would just like resonate really good with you, Ken. Did you see? It just says, Resignate with you really well, Ken. It just says, Tax the Poor. It's, you know, I like parody shirt.

I don't think they actually mean. tax the poor, but it's just like they don't mean commit tax fraud, unless it's it's just a joke. It's just a joke. Being that you guys are from the Midwest and most of your viewers could possibly be from the Midwest where hunting is a big part of some people's lives,

have you guys ever thought of doing a video about hunting? Personally, I love watching your bo fishing videos and watch you guys shoot guns. I feel like some of your viewers would enjoy a hunting video from boys. Short answer, yes. Yeah, I'd love to do that too, but it's just not something YouTube accepts. You can't have guns. You can't have they used to allow it but you just can't nowadays and that's just the rules so we got to abide

them because we need to respect youtube and their community guidelines unfortunately they've yeah yeah it's just the way it is and it's like it's pretty like it's pretty clear uh that they don't and i think the worst part is so then you're gonna get a handful of people that are like no still do it and just don't monetize it right but youtube still throttles the absolute shit out of it so then it just seems like this video that ends up on our channel. It's like work in time where I'd rather just go and do it and enjoy it. Right. I have to film it. Not necessarily having to film it, but just

your new hobby. That would be fun. Hey, you literally can't film it so you don't have a choice. I should. Yeah, and also like we have, we just bought the new land where the track is, but there's a section of wood. Hey, I mean, I'm out there every morning. Yo, I'm not joking. I think I'm like, no more fun. Dude, you 100% could. Every time I go out there, I see deer. Evan and I are going. a deer hunt that this uh november are you get that passed by the landowners yeah wait what but

yeah you'll you'll definitely see deer i looked well so looking at the pond the pond is full of deer tracks i'm like let's just let's try it let's go out you should we're like now i'm like can you imagine i have my own hunting land and i think it's i looked it up i think it's rifle zone because i don't have a shotgun i'll come with as long as well evan not to point you up but i just if he gets into the teas too much i don't know how comfortable i feel with him having a gun around me yeah is that something that you don't mix teas and hunting is that even a question of course he makes no i was like i don't think you can hunt in minnesota and not drink i don't think that's probably the legal to not i uh the other way around but actually i just applied for my permit to purchase is what you need to

buy an ar-15 in minnesota so hopefully once i get that i'm going to buy one and on with it no just shoot like shoot like set up targets tannerite shit but you can't even blow up tanner right yeah like we can't do anything with fireworks we used to and that was like tanner it does suck because honestly like blowing stuff up is so like that is a passion of ours yeah it's exhilarated we've had to keep that off camera and it's something that I that's something we'd probably repeat because it's just never not fun we blew up the dishwasher we were We've blown up everything for a while. Like, we blew up all our garbage cans.

The Coucho, like, just the Jetsky. Yeah. Jet ski was like, dude. And we were doing it all in an HOA development. In the middle of people's sheds. It was fun times. It was fun times. Different times.

We were still getting demonetized at that point. But I think we were just like, oh, video must have got demonetized. We just didn't look into anything. We were so dumb, dude. Well, it was different to it. It was different, yeah. We cared, but it was like, well, I guess that's, as part of it is another step right did y'all ever think you would be successful and that this would

turn into your business i don't want to say i knew but i always just like was striving for it so hard like making youtube videos is the only thing i've thought about for like the last six years over the last six years now you know and it's just like you just want i just want it so bad and uh and but no i like obviously you never know yeah you know but all you can do is is just dream and keep focus on that goal and keep working at it like like i had a vision board i made which is uh basically you put up a bunch of things that you have uh that you want in life and uh whether it be like good health which is one of things on it um i had like a million subscribers on youtube um i had a gtr on it like all this things and i would always look at it every morning

before i would go to work or whatever i was doing you know so i don't know it's just that was a goal. Yeah, I don't know. For me, it was opposite. Well, right away. When you said, let's make a channel. I don't know if I've said this before, but I was like,

dude, you know how hard it is to get big on YouTube? I do remember you telling me that you're like, we're going to be able to get more followers on Instagram than YouTube. Yeah, and I was just like, and I was still down. I mean, for a small moment, I was like, eh, yeah, let's, well, I'll help you edit, whatever, whatever. But I was like, nah. And then, of course, this made me sound really stupid.

I was like, dude, I've tried YouTube before. It didn't work. Please don't go dig out my old videos. It is tough. It's tough to watch those. Oh, no. But yeah, I was like, I was the naysayer. I was like, dude, like a lot of people say, it's not, you want to be a YouTuber.

But the cool thing was, is that you were driven and it made me driven. And then once the, I guess the views, the slight. amount of views and slight success came i was completely changed i said we have something here which you were already saying and then everyone else started saying it too we have something here and then the drive completely changed like looking back looking back i feel like i mean i was just at such a low just rock bottom it was like only way you can go is up from here and it was just in in a weird sense it was very comforting like i almost feel like that was like the most um comforting time I've had even before now because it was just like I really didn't have anything

to lose and I just like had this idea and I just was trying to really work towards and yeah I don't know it was just something comforting in that I don't know looking back I just remember just being very comfortable like I felt good because it was like I have something to aim at yeah I was like I was confident that we could get views and I know that's not what it's all about, but I was confident that people would be somewhat interested in something we're going to do. I was confident in that, but never turning into a business, you know, never, never making an LLC. I mean, even that when it changed, okay, we need to make a business so that we can get a joint bank account and that money, the small amount from YouTube and go

in there, even once that happened, I go, oh, this is cool. Honestly, I didn't know that it even was possible to be as big as we are now. And we really aren't that big in the grand scale of YouTube but like so to be honest I didn't know we'd be like this level you know I thought maybe like coolest would be like buying some cool parts for the my Subaru at the time and like just dirt biking and stuff I don't know but yeah that's awesome I don't know if you guys feel this but I've always felt like every single step of the way like at 10k 100k 500 a million I've always felt that We are, like, doing such a good job, and I'm so proud of us. I've never been like, man, I can't wait until we hit 1.7 million subscribers.

Like, I wonder how that's going to feel. Like, I've always just, like, focused on the present and how good it feels just to, like, have what we have. Yeah. I always got, I guess, thought about, like, man, a million's going to be cool. But even at that, I was like, I think even right now at 250,000, like, I'm just so proud of, like, where we're at. I definitely like that I'll look on grateful yeah like every time it happens I mean when especially a million that's huge we're not like all right two million it is I mean we we dwelled and celebrated like genuine genuine celebration for not only a million but for everything 250 500 everything yeah like every like honestly the entire step of the way and I always knew like dude we're killing it right now and I just can't wait for like this to do you just continue on with just like this mindset and this like everyone's attitude towards it because I think what we have is great and I mean we could go into we could go and do anything I think

going to like any industry with like the same attitude and work ethic we could kill it like I said on like this talk show I was on the other day and I was like honestly I think if we wanted to be like a lawn care crew we could be the best in the area honestly kill it yeah and he was like Like, we'd be working our asses off, dude. We'd be showing up, like, plowing driveways. As long as we got Evan on the team. He goes, you guys would have those, you guys would have those lawns done in record-breaking times. Dude, I think that they're, out of, I guess my piece of advice for no matter whatever it is you're doing, you got to just keep focusing on that next step.

Don't focus on three steps ahead. Just, well, I mean, it is good to consider that. Consider that. But just take it one step out of time, no matter what you're doing. and you will very slowly grow and do something, but you just don't want to not even take a step at all because then nothing happens. Like straight up.

Better take a really small step and then be happy that you made that step. Then, yeah, I mean, then try, yeah, then being scared to take a big one and then not doing it at all. Yeah. You know, you got to have some, if you want something,

you got to just go and take initiative and go and try and get it. You know, try and we'll start working for it. That's the first thing you got to do, you know? And that shit happens fast. Like, I think, like, the smaller steps you take, the faster things happen. No, 100%. And you're focusing on just when you're in it, it goes by so quick, dude.

I don't know. I heard this really good, uh, analogy. It was, I believe it was a kid. And it was the older sibling was stressed and said, I have to find a new apartment. I have to graduate from college and I have to get a job. And the kid goes, that's just three things. And like you look at your life and just, you don't look at them as all they are.

You just look at like, I just got to get this one thing done. And then you get the next thing done. You get the next thing done. You get through it. Boom. Inspiration. Love it.

We occasionally, we do get inspirational on here. It's good. A little bit. We got depth. Right. We got depth. The only thing I don't,

I try not to do when we're doing inspiration, I don't want to sound like we're being cocky. Hopefully no one's taking it as that at home. I guess we're just trying to help. and give inspiration and tell you the straight-up truth of what we are thinking. Well, this is just like our business and our business is online and it's very like transparent whereas like I don't think our story is very different than most businesses. You know, it's like the same grind.

It's the same start from nothing. Go broke for the first three years. Fake it tell you make it kind of thing. Like every business kind of has that. Ours is just public. Public. Yeah, exactly. Success isn't really accidental.

Like you gotta fucking make it. You guess like you work for it. I don't know. Is that? Yeah. Absolutely. There's much truth to that. I got one last question.

It's fitting because it ends every single one of our videos. What does the dog at the end of the videos mean to C-boys? Can I answer it since I made it? I have no idea. So the reason why. So I, you know how like whenever you watch a TV? Oh, that is a good question.

I've always wondered that. there's there's really not a whole lot of mean to it i guess uh i remember i made it in our college house just because i was like i feel like this would be a cool little touch to end each video on and uh basically it's just like a copyright thing of the date when the video was made the year that it was made just like any tv show like if you watch it like a sponge bob episode there'll be like a little thing at the end that would play or like jimmy neutron they always had the monkey um oh my i'm paul yeah exactly that's just like that have the dates on it I think so, yeah.

So ours just has a copyright sign of the year. I don't know if I'm doing it right, but I just did that at the time. But now it's our own thing. And the dog is actually, it used to be the mayor of Cormorant. The dog is now passed on, but when we started, the mayor of Cormorant was a dog. It's public, like, look it up. Dog mayor. It'll be Cormorant, Minnesota, Alex Dog, it's mayor.

His name was Duke. And he had served for like four years as a mayor in, Cormorant and the whole reason he got elected was because there was two dudes that were like trying to run for mayor and no one really liked either of them. So then they were like, hey, let's just elect this dog. Everyone voted for the dog. So really funny. Duke served and protected. That you say it like, I didn't really mean for it to be a thing. We've always we've always loved Duke the mayor. We didn't. I mean, we saw him walk, wandered around. We have one photo with him. Yeah. We've met him one time. No, I met him more than that. He used to just walk around Like he would just straight up like walk around the Cormorne store Walk from like the liquor store Right down like Main Street You'd always see him

Yeah He never had a celebrity like he had to get in line to take pictures with them Yeah But we never had like we have a picture when Like one of our first days filming with him Yeah that's right That was the Bonneville day Yeah really

I got a freaking camera strap around my neck Because I was like This camera is $500 You gotta wear the strap If you're holds When Ken said he was going to drive the peanut through the pit six 11 that we never said he was going to buy a gtr or train up to a gtr there was like a lot if you go and watch that first video there was like so

many things that were like damn that and that's crazy kind of what's like game from that dude did 10 drive his car through the pits no but one day i think he will yeah yeah and it's going to be very suspicious when we're like seeing cars buzzing around and like police and there's like a giant hole in the side of the pit 611 and no car and like we're going to be going to be like can going back into that though you finally fulfilled your dream it's crazy how what you say what comes out of your mouth it goes it goes out into the universe and always comes back around into you like to you so if you mean it me personally i'm extremely careful about what i like say and like i don't know just because i personally feel like what you say it manifests into reality so i don't

know and i've believed that for the longest time so you can be a little spicious but not super spicious on certain things i think it's stitious but spicious is nice too no i agree though cj law of attraction good and bad yeah it's the law of attraction yeah good and bad exactly that's why you got to be careful those were all great questions yeah it was kind of fun those are a little questions obviously you picked the more like in-depth ones but they were all great questions i think we had even more we just we had to cut it yeah there were i mean there was some like who's the hottest female celebrity and uh worst dating story stuff like that but there's always there's more podcast let's end it hottest female celebrity megan fox i was gonna say megan fox too or kim k yeah i'd agree i i think

megan fox though takes the cake well you both can't have megan fox oh i'm sorry i'm sticking with mine that i i can't i don't well i went first so i don't even know to pronounce her name but like Anna Day Arms, Anna Day Armos? She's a fucking babe. You guys kidding me? I don't know who the hottest celebrity right now. Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey.

No. Lizzo? I always had like... Mike says Lizzo. I always had a crush on the Harry Potter girl, like Emma Watson. Emma Watson, yeah. But then she got a short haircut and I got scared and then she grew her hair back out and then things are good.

I'll find it later. We'll talk about it later. Well, on that note, hit the copyright, Duke. Oh, yeah, I'm putting that in there. Okay. I don't know if it sounds like that, but thanks, guys. Hey, subscribe.
