No other time in history was like, let's get the two richest men on the planet and have them fight each other.
What about you just envision the activities Mike's doing and what's the watch.
Oh, wow, 35 minutes on the shakeway today.
Mike got beat up first period, but second period, he wouldn't kick someone else.
Ben, you've been dressing nicer lately.
Ryan, you have seen me wear one thing for the last seven years.
And that's just a C-boys t-shirt.
And I put, I literally have worn not a C-boys t-shirt, just like a blank shirt or a blank long sleeve,
like three times around Ryan.
He goes, getting fancy, huh?
I think a C-boy shirt is even nicer.
nicer right yeah so that's where i was confused because i was like i i thought i was dressing down i mean
yeah true but it's just like i've never seen this out of you knew me well i just figured you dug all that
shit up when you moved and you were like oh i own this the only thing i dug up when i moved was
fucking poison ivy yeah what's the deal with that all over my hands bro all over my ankles everywhere
i could be downwind from poison ivy now yeah yeah honestly i'm really nervous like being around you
it's not contagious it's not contagious really i thought the oils were contagious
You know, I don't know.
I don't know.
There's so many myths.
I don't know.
Every time I get poison ivy,
I'm always looking up like home remedies for poison ivy.
And I've got like everything under the sun at this point to put on it.
And like nothing works besides for just like letting it be for two weeks.
But yeah, bro, I swear I could literally be downwind from poison ivy and I would get it.
You're contagious to yourself.
Yeah, literally.
No one else can get it from you.
But you're like, it's on your hand and you like touch your arm and then it's on your arm the next day.
Maybe in the same day.
Yeah, one time.
I got poison ivy when I was doing landscaping for Dave and I must have weed whacked it or something and it got on my
legs and then I must have not washed it off in time my legs were together so that I got on both legs
and then I got it on my arms and then I was in Canada on a remote island when I when it finally started
to break out so I was I was on this island for three days without like a single thing to treat it with
and it spread over my entire body and it was probably it was one of the worst weeks like the
following week of my life like I couldn't move I was laid up in bed for a week straight
didn't you get it on your nuts oh bro I got it everywhere everywhere well so here's here's the
worst poison ivy story I've ever heard though this had to have been like 10 years ago yeah we
were kids oh my gosh so me and CJ are out on um our friends boat and our friend my brother's
friends i should say and they're older than us they're maybe five 10 years older and um anyway we're
we're like hanging out we're pretty much just kids at this point and uh next thing we know to
couple like a guy and a girl i don't think they were a couple that started like making out in
the front of a boat next to us right and you know just being like a little kid you're just like
what's going on well next thing you know they swim to shore and they sneak up into like the beach
like kind of like a secluded beach woods yeah and they're gone for about five 10 minutes maybe
being generous and they come back and I didn't really think much of it apparently they went up into
the into the woods and did the dirty and they were literally smashing on poison ivy he was laying
in poison ivy and i can't believe they laid down yeah that's pretty savage it must have been
getting after it so so uh so my my brother's friend uh basically in the following days wakes up poison ivy head to toe
everywhere except for his dick except except there's the only thing yeah yeah but like head to toe
and that's how he got it a little geography lesson so the the beach that everybody parks at is actually
on the road out to my dad's place so i drive by that spot i don't know the exact spot but i drive
by that every day yeah it's kind of a legendary spot now yeah i kind of look at it and i go yeah i don't
think i'd smash there like i just it just doesn't seem right just we
And, like, man, you got to be real horny.
I mean, to do that.
It's got to take advantage when you got the opportunity.
Yeah, not everybody's so blessed to have such a good hand like you, Ben.
Yeah.
Speaking of the good hand, though, yeah.
Hold off on the, wait, way, sorry.
Yeah, definitely hold off on the good hand or probably both hands.
Yeah.
If you jerked off, would you get it on your dick?
I don't know I don't think it's one of those things you want to find out right out the gate yeah
yeah I'd imagine I mean what would be stopping it it's not like your dick has some like special
superpower well some do I thankfully don't I've gotten poison ivy really bad and I think I got it
so bad that I just like now I'm immune to it is it like chicken pox like you get it really bad but I
guess you get it again yeah I don't know they say that like once you have it once really bad
then you'll never get it again.
I've had it so bad, so many times, and I keep getting it.
Yeah, when we went reckless golfing, I took a shit, and when I was taking the shit,
I was in Poison Ivy.
Really?
Yeah, I took a shit in the woods.
It wasn't on the video, but, yeah.
I can't get it either.
I'm pretty sure my ass touched a poison ivy leaf.
Oh, wow, you were hanging low.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I was like, oh, fuck.
And then I, like, scurried out and kind of did it right on the side of the carpath.
I feel very lucky that I can't get it, and I feel like you have, like, borderline
a disability when you get around it yeah disability i've got a good update from our fellas down in
the big city of minneapolis and it's a little minneapolis collab with the kea boys oh wow yeah i love
those guys like the kea boys are in minneapolis mobbing yeah i wish i would have heard and you
and you would have been there yeah pick up a couple kias go join what yeah oh he's you turn off a little
Why the fuck he starts shooting at him?
I don't know.
The guy on the street, just downtown Minneapolis.
Taylor Swiftville.
It must be rivals to the Kia boys.
The Honda boys.
The Honda boys.
What the fuck?
Who just starts shooting at one?
That seemed kind of random.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
In the open downtown Minneapolis.
Evan.
Evan.
What's up, buddy?
Seeing some oatmeal.
Sitting in for Big Ken.
Diesel.
A bit of an exciting change.
We've got Evan behind the cameras at the desk today.
Ken's too busy shipping out merch.
I think he's darn near close.
Think he's got everything out from the last drop.
Yeah, they've been cranking it, him and his team.
Yep.
His team.
He does have a full-blown army back there.
He's an army, man.
And they respect him.
And he is just, I mean, he's really a great leader when he's in his merch bay.
I saw them doing the Pledge of Allegiance to a picture.
Every morning.
To a picture of him.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I walked back there the other day looking for something.
And I was kind of just sneaking in the shadows.
They didn't know I was there.
And I heard a couple daddies.
Like they were referencing daddy to Ken.
I legit didn't even understand like a single thing that they were saying.
Like they have their own like cryptic language now.
They have their own jokes.
Their own like everything.
Everything is like an inside joke.
Like I don't,
I'm not sure if they're speaking in Morse code or what because it's more efficient for Ken
because it's too lazy to get out a full sentence.
No, I heard they definitely do have their own.
their own little lingo but i heard they're only allowed to talk to each other not they're not
allowed to see they're not allowed to talk to they can't make eye contact with them they have to look
at the ground when ken's talking only speak when spoken to type of vibes no all jokes aside though
every time i do go back there and spend more than like 30 seconds if i'm like looking for something
it's just dead silent except for like a little edm yeah there's a little music god he's got like a little
dicking music going on in the background and like everyone's kind of just bobbing their head as
they're like packaging orders and stuff and ken is sitting at his desk scroll on facebook marketplace
and reddit and they're all working ken's got to figure it out dude he outsourced his whole job yeah he
really did so now i'm just wondering what is he doing back there smoking babes it has been awfully cloudy
people have been complaining about their orders that they're getting in there with the music
and then the smoke rolling out every time every day they come
to pick up orders when the garage door opens.
It's just a smoke cloud rolling out.
Ken's got all of his minions three days.
They've been back there.
I saw a comment on one of the podcasts that said,
it's so disrespectful that Ben calls Ken's workers minions.
I would quit so fast.
I was like, I'm not calling a minion.
Ken calls him his minions.
I'm just passing on the message.
And they refer to themselves as minions.
Yeah, I actually try not to call them that, but I will back up the minion statement where they are actually my younger brother's friends and like they've been hanging around.
They come and go like we've known them for a long time.
It's not like we just like picked them up off the street.
You put a job, you know, opportunity in the newspaper and these people are just random.
Like they're like kind of friends and like they crack jokes at Ken.
Hence why they call them daddy and he calls them the minions, you know, it's just.
would it be crossing the line if we got them all minion costumes
and required them to wear them?
Oh, gosh, that'd be really funny.
I feel like they would straight up think it was funny.
But, I mean, I'm not going to do that.
That's Ken's, I mean, it's Ken's territory.
I'm not going to step in his territory.
What are the minions main guy dressed like?
Gru.
Gru.
Ken is grew.
Oh, my gosh.
It's so accurate.
Okay, wait, I want to see it.
Yeah, I went back there.
I was showing someone around and I was like, yep,
so this is kind of the operations back here.
And Carter goes,
operations you mean sweatshop
set your mouth
it's the fucking OSHA guy
no lunch for you today
Ken walks over and just puts his hand
on his mouth and just holds
him so yeah
the orders are pretty much out at this point
hopefully everyone gets their stuff before
4th of July that was the plan
and thanks for the support
Ken appreciates it we know that
yeah it's actually after the 4th right now
it's actually the 4th of July win
Well, hopefully I'll have your stuff by then now.
I might not be lazy, but for the analytics post on Wednesday morning.
So when you guys are back at work, Wednesday morning is going to be a tough one.
Like, what do you guys think is the worst day to have the 4th of July on?
Tuesday.
Tuesday, bro.
This shit kind of sucks.
I feel like Tuesday or Wednesday.
The next two years are going to be the worst because, like, Thursday, I think is the best.
Because you get Thursday off and you obviously get Friday off.
You go straight up hard.
Yeah.
Right on Thursday.
Right out the gate.
where we live is kind of like this vacation area out-of-towners are filing in uh last night
Thursday like all the restaurants were packed the highways all jammed up there's tons and tons of
people because obviously this is like where they want to spend the fourth so they're going to be
out here partying from Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday and then Tuesday is the fourth now
so now it's like oh this is the big day but it's like wow we just freaking win hard for the
whole weekend because I remember this is how it went last year for me because it would
have been on a Monday wouldn't have and we had a bunch of people staying over and it was so
fun it was like Saturday was great Sunday is like okay this this is really fun and then by
the time the fourth came here like I'm like kind of over like sitting around drinking like this
and yeah I kind of want all of you guys to go home hey you know what though CJ you got to be a
patriot somebody's got to do it no and I don't get me wrong I go out there and I crack a beer and
I slam it down and wave a flag because that's the American way.
That's the American way.
But yeah, no, there is.
Now that guy, now that guy's an alcoholic.
Hey, he's a patriot.
It definitely is unfortunate, though, that it is a Tuesday.
But first real problems, you know?
That really is, yeah.
America problem.
The nice thing is, like, we'll probably, like, end up working on Monday a little bit.
Like, we don't have to go.
Like, we already live here.
Well, I'm pretty excited.
I think Monday is going to be a good film day because we, for a,
few things we have going, we need some good reactions
and there's going to be a lot of people out. Yeah.
I'm excited for that. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, true.
We could almost film the jet skis on Monday.
I think either filming the jet skis or the
Hummer Ponto on Monday makes the most sense
because it's like the lull day. Kind of.
I love that statement.
Should we film our motorcycle jet skis
on Monday or do you think we should do the
Hummer Pontoons?
Well, with Big Ranch,
the list of like odd contraptions
are growing. At this point,
the jet skis with this video won't be out yet.
So we probably can't spoil too much.
But Big Wrench and I went for a cruise on one of his newest contraptions.
And he was so proud.
He didn't want to go.
He's like, have you test driven it yet?
And I was like, no, no, I haven't.
And he was like, oh, take it for spin.
I was like, well, come with me.
We got two of them.
And we went and cruz.
He was smiling the whole time.
It was awesome.
Well, he built it and he's not entirely confident in his detraptions.
I'm confused by that because every time he builds anything or like,
because I've told him before, I was like, take it for a spin.
or it's like the miata like rip a drift or whatever i always say yeah brian take it for a spin you go
no no i'm good i'm good i got a family at home yeah i don't know i've always i've always been a little
curious like i'm like no one's filming like you putts around like check it out you built it man like
go have some fun yeah enjoy it yeah big ranch take the pummer pontoon out this weekend no seriously
i'm good no no no you got to enjoy the fruits of your labor those jet skis do look so good though
because when they're rolling you can't see the wheel so it looks like they're just
hovering it is like it could not be any better every everybody that's seen it has stopped and said
something like i wrote down a dead end road and i came back and there was multiple people at the
end of their driveways waiting for me to come back to talk about it it is the most electric thing
i've ever driven it's it's awesome it's gonna be such a great video it's such a unit too it's so
big you're kind of on it you're like wow but like realistically you're just on a moped but
it feels so much bigger now yeah because they're driving a couch yeah you're literally
driving a couch. It's so big. That's the next thing we should have big wrench build.
Dude, big wrench just doesn't want to drive his contraptions because he doesn't want to break
them because he knows he'll have to fix them. He's like, I ain't taken any chances and having
to make myself get more work. I want him to like build like an old John boat on a trailer just
into a car basically. Like it's a John boat on a trailer. You just drive.
Oh, you're driving the actual trailer too. Like the hitch is just, you know, that's the front of your car.
The unit.
Yeah, it just looks like a stray trailer that got loose from a truck.
They're like, oh my God.
And then you're just saying it just...
Exactly.
That's actually a pretty good idea, Mike.
We got to do that.
Have you guys seen the dragster that is a camper?
No.
Like exactly what you just said it, but it looks like a camper with a hitch sticking out the front.
Really?
It's a drag car, yeah.
What?
That's awesome.
That's pretty sick.
We should do that up.
You got your computer ready?
Evan's the only one.
Evan, you're probably the only one who's probably the only one who's.
less qualified than Ken to
I will say he's paying attention though
I know yeah you're talking which is nice to see
because Ken never does that he just scrolls on his phone the whole time
what are you going to do?
We actually should do that boat thing
because it'd be hilarious and just make it into a trike
you use the trailer wheels and then he put
a wheel out in the front
and then you have the boat steering
tied up to the wheel in the front
and then you can actually drive it in the water
because there's no holes in the boat
like the boat would still function as a boat
and so you just drive into the water
it'll float the trailer
would it yeah why not
yeah it would
I mean it depends how big the boat is
it depends what motor you put in the thing
because that would have to be
the trailer motor might be pretty low
yeah unless you
you could like chain drive it down
this is specific semantics
problems for big wrench but I think
I think it could work you put the motor in the boat
inside of a cooler
like a big cooler
and where will the teas go
in the secondary cool
Cooler.
Yeah, driving behind.
Can't keep the T's in a trailer.
Are you going to get to them?
It's better in the back of your truck, Ev.
If they were on a trailer, you'd be like Vin Diesel having to crawl back there while
driving down the road.
Remember that one time when I rode in the back of the, in the boat when we were on the
way up to Justin's Bachelor party?
I was in the boat.
You were in it?
Yeah.
No, you weren't.
It was just me, bro.
I went like an hour by myself.
No.
In the X-30.
I was with you.
I think you were both in there and then you got out and it was just him for a while.
Because we were just like on a country-owned.
I was like, well, I'm not stopping.
Yeah, we were just chilling.
It was kind of fun.
It was nice because I got to lay out.
It was probably windy as fuck.
It's super illegal.
But yeah, I was a little worried.
I was like, man, if something happened for some reason, it would be a bad deal.
Yeah, you're not exactly seatbelted in.
Or if the trailer just somehow randomly disconnected.
I just got a video from our buddy and it was a pontoon.
all mangled up sideways in the highway it'd fallen off the trailer came unhooked and it looked like
the trailer went like this and then the pontoon fell off and then it looked like the semi hit it
oh real bad bad news bears bad way to start your fourth weekend I feel yeah that is unfortunate
they were probably trailing it down they maybe had a rental like that's it was a nice it was a nice
pontoon nice truck that it fell off of like probably just like when you do things too fast and you're
stupid get jammed up yeah geez you get jammed up when you're doing stuff too quick
What do you think is the most extreme thing you've done for a tea?
Like, what's the biggest jam up you've been in?
I was just thinking about that when you're talking about like.
Don't incriminate this guy with his girlfriend.
No, no, no, no.
When you were like, I, you know, I'd have to be like Vin Diesel crawling into the back of a moving vehicle.
Like, do you ever have a story where you're like, oh, man, I was in this jam up and we had to go through planes, trains, an automobile to get to a tea?
Just think of like being run out on a Sunday
Not being able to go to the liquor store
And then like having to dig through
Bizarre places to like find one
Like an all banged up dirty tea
That was like in my backpack
And then having to try to chill that and drink it
That's what is extremes it gets
A banged up dirty tea
Remember when we went to Evans garage and eat
You were hoarding those uh
The bourbon barrels
The bourbon barrels
They went extinct for a good reason
Because they are terrible
but we treat them like royalty.
Why?
They're very rare.
What's a bourbon barrel?
It was one of the original party pack flavors.
And when they switched from bourbon barrel to peach,
they put the bourbon barrel ones.
We're super cheap like five or six bucks.
So we bought a ton of them and then saved them
because they were so bad we didn't want to drink them.
All right.
And now we don't even drink twisted anymore.
Man, I just think it's so ridiculous, Evan,
that you have committed,
it's damn near your personality at this point
to be like a twisted tea drinker.
And they don't even,
they won't even respond to your messages.
Fuck twisted tea.
Won't even acknowledge me.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think it's kind of bullshit.
But hey, Ryan, earlier you mentioned something about trikes
and it triggered this thought.
But you guys see our buddy Gavin,
the three-wheeler gap.
Yeah.
You guys see his last video of going to Trike Fest.
I haven't watched it yet.
He had been rolling through with like the hot rod.
Everyone was probably looking at that thing.
I just pictured Gab being such a trike enthusiast
hanging out with other trike enthusiasts
and them just like geeking over his three-wheeler
and him geeking over other people's three-wheelers.
And I was like, man, this is just such a culture.
Like all the people that he was hanging out with.
But I don't think that we would have been purist and fit in there,
but I think we would have had a good time.
Oh, for sure.
Well, it seemed like one thing that blew me away was that they have a couple different runs
throughout the weekend, and one of them is, like, specifically a hardtail run.
You have to bring a three-wheeler that doesn't have suspension.
Oh.
Like, that's that particular ride.
Then the other one is a free game, open mod, whatever.
I'm like, wow, they have specific runs for specific, because obviously people come in there
are bringing more than one three-wheeler.
Of course.
Where was that at?
I think Indiana or something like that.
Yeah.
It was somewhere you think that they would like to do.
A lot of three-wheeler's there.
There was doing it.
That would have been a lot of fun.
How many collar bones do you think got broken that week?
Just in Gads video, I saw like 14 flips.
Didn't Gavad watt up on the first corner of his race?
Yeah, yeah.
He was just so excited.
He was just full throttle.
Can't make the turn.
Yeah, it just can't make the turn, but still just cranks it.
Flips.
I was laughing at that.
I was like, honestly, dude, I can't believe that this thing is still in one piece.
I think he's, like, very particular about making sure he keeps it nice.
Like, I remember when we gave it to me, he's like, I'm not taking it in the mud.
I'm like, bro, it's a three-wheeler.
Take it in the mud.
But he did swamp it pretty much immediately.
Yeah, water.
Unfortunately.
Did he?
Yeah, when we got to Moab.
Oh, yeah.
In Moab, yeah, that's right, yeah.
But the water hits the air filter.
Yeah, it's got a bad design.
It's a poor design, poor design for sure.
Mm-hmm.
So what do you guys think that those guys would think about,
our modern-day three-wheeler.
Do you think they're such purist?
They would be disgusted.
I saw a few of them there.
Some would like it.
Some would.
Some wouldn't.
You know,
keeping it alive,
it's like a rest-o-risto-mod.
Resto-Mod.
Resto-Mod.
I feel like it probably would be pretty similar
the way that C.J.
feels about the new Ford Ranger.
Like,
he can appreciate some of the new luxuries that it has,
but it's just not as good as the old 1999 Ford Ranger.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, yeah,
I guess I don't know how it feels for,
for the three-year.
three wheelers but I can definitely agree with that you know you'll learn though it's all right still
forward ranger I guess times change but you know me and CJ had a conversation about this yesterday
of like these certain things that we make videos about are such a niche market right niche
niche oh man you know it's bad when CJ starts correcting what I'm saying holy shit I'm getting
dumber but uh anyway so like yesterday's vid uh with like the big wheel dirt bikes pretty
niche, you know, and granted it's a lot of people are probably just like dirt bike, you know, click, click the same. But the big wheel, the three wheelers, all these different things that we like kind of expand out to and make different videos on and in like these different markets and sectors of people. It's almost like we are like the Thanos of like just grabbing all these collectives of people and just like bringing them into our like inner circle of like.
Like, all right, you click for this and then and then half the video is that.
And then the other half is reckless golfing with our grandpa or blind grandpa bowling prank or like, you know,
somebody just random things.
And then you just hope that they stay for the enjoyment of everything.
But you're just like grabbing these like weird things.
Like weird like niche.
People from all these different spots.
And I think that's like our fan base at this point.
But I think we're making three-wheelers are the most popular probably, I'd say.
Most people know what a three-wheeler is, you know?
And obviously quads and dirt bikes, but, like, you start getting into things like the big wheel.
It's like a much smaller group of people that are aware of them, let alone enthusiasts.
But we, like, make it more knowing because now we present it to these people.
And it oftentimes seems like we're clearing the path of, uh,
you know yeah of like a space of this space because i don't really know if there's anyone else
making videos with big wheels that are uh you know like at this size and do it at this scale
i know one thing's for sure we drove the price of smart cars up 100% because we've been trying to
get them and now they're all like 10 grand what the fuck happened they're old also a bunch of
other YouTubers got it got smart cars after we got them like i remember nobody had them and
we got them because we're like this is like the lamest thing
but we're going to act like it's super cool.
Those things were cool.
And then they end up actually being cool.
I guess, yeah, I forgot about that.
We came into it like, yeah, these things are lame.
Even after we drove them, they're like, they're slow.
But they were so cheap at the time and they looked so funny.
It was like, let's drift them.
Let's see if we can, you know, pull the traction control fuse.
That way we can drift them and we'll lift it up.
We'll jump them and do all these things.
I forget that we own a smart car still.
Sitting on top of Ken's van.
Yeah.
Rocket League.
It was so fun.
The smart cars,
the smart cars are like golf carts.
They're just kind of like little chicken nuggets and they're like almost indestructible.
I wouldn't mind buying one again.
It's just,
I just know I probably wouldn't drive it as much as I'd like to.
You know?
Like I'd have to drive my truck.
It's like I got to put something in that.
I would love to have another.
Dude, I actually got pulled over in the smart car.
I got for speeding back when,
you know,
I'm not surprised one bit by that.
Well, so.
So fast.
This dude's got more speeding tickets than anyone I know.
Yeah, I mean, he came up to a window.
I was like, I bet there's the first time you ever pulled a smart car over.
He's like, yep.
I actually got let off on that one.
So shout out with that guy.
But, no, the thing was just so goddamn slow.
I pull out of the driveway and like wherever you're, whenever you're driving the smart car,
you got pedal to the wood the whole time.
Of course.
And you got to run the paddle shifters just to make it shift faster
because otherwise it doesn't rev the gear out enough.
I don't think you have to.
You have to if you're trying to get anywhere.
So anyways, like, by the time it got up to speed,
but it was such a slow acceleration,
it didn't feel like I was going that fast,
but I was going, like, maybe, like, you know, 80 and a 40 or something.
That's not that.
Yeah, not that fast.
But, I mean, like, you get up to it,
and then it's, like, now you're speeding,
but you don't feel like it, and then I'm cruising.
Dude, I drove my smart car to a wedding,
or I was at the, I was in the wedding,
and I was at the rehearsal dinner
and then driving on my way home from that.
I just remember because I got it on video.
I'm taking a snap.
I'm wearing my tucks or whatever or suit.
And then I'm like, driving the smart car.
And then my muffler falls off in the snap.
What?
Yeah, it's just like,
you hear it like roll down the road.
And I'm like, did my muffler just fall off?
And I got it off to see if I could find the video.
You were probably pretty stoked on it.
Like, nice.
I didn't even have to cut it.
But, like, think of the, think of any other smart car owner and their muffler falls off.
And now they got to drive around their smart car.
It was pretty loud.
I've got a damn toe truck.
You remember Ken wrapped his?
Yeah.
He spent, like, a week wrapping his.
And then we're like, now it looks the coolest.
So we got to jump it into the pool.
That's right.
He was pissed.
He, anybody took it pretty well for the amount of work that he had into it.
Yeah.
Took a long time.
I don't know if Ken's wrapped anything since.
The, has a mod, anything since.
Yeah, no kidding.
easy smart car unload video just overlay that right now that was so slept on of just like
how just pointless and reckless it was well the reason why we did that was because we jumped
in the pool and it was waterlogged and it was like it was like pretty fucked up so we're like
well let's just unload it because at the time that was what we did whenever you had junk or
if anything was broken you would unload it out of the back of a truck after going 40 mile an hour
in reverse and for some reason it sometimes would start to work oh yeah that's right yeah we got
the golf cart to work no it'd be a little bent up but it would run again what have we launched out of
the back of the truck we've easy unloaded a golf cart yeah it broke CJ's four wheeler yep the golf cart
grandpa's TV grandpa's TV yep smart car smart car was probably the pinnacle I think that's it
yeah what do you think's the largest thing we can fit I mean a smart car
damn near.
Yeah, we had to, like, build ramps for it to sit on.
We built a wheel well.
Yeah, because otherwise it wouldn't fit, yeah.
I don't know what else we could fit.
I should figure that out, though.
Maybe we'll have to do a few more things.
We could just get a bigger truck.
Easy Lambo mode.
Oh, like a dump truck.
You could get like a full dump truck.
You just did a sled deck.
Like a flat bed.
Then you'd really get a lot of room and you'd be really high.
Yeah.
Somebody say the mea, the meyatta.
Yeah.
Evan did.
Which I'm surprised because Evan loves a meata.
I do love the meada.
Dude, Evan was mobbing.
around in the miata the other day red miata tops down hairs flowing and he pulls up chain out
chain out and he pulls up and we're just like i think some of us are clapping because there's such a
beautiful sight like didn't know what else to do and mike pulls this line out one of the best
things i've heard you say mike he goes looks like he's driving his red etny because ever's red etny
shoes it literally did and it did dude maybe it was just the moment
but we all just start laughing, and now I can't unsee it.
I don't want to wrap it like a shoe.
I know.
That'd be amazing.
All you got to do is putting Eni logo on the side, and you're pretty much good.
I got to say, I admire the fact that you still wear Etnys.
Proper shoe.
We should get you some new ones.
Like the ones with the big E on the side, though.
I can't do that.
Yours are like a little bit more like skaterish.
I'm talking like you want the Ryan Checkler Pro Modos.
It's quality shoe.
I want to get you some like.
blocks on your feet you know what about some bar laces and everything maybe some osiruses bring those
yeah did you ever have those oh yeah you did actually honestly just one pair of like the big
classic yeah with the huge fucking tongue and god those things are ugly actually were comfortable
i'm sure they were but like what's the point of those you can't skate in those
i mean you could you could skate in crocs if you want but like were they actually for skating
i mean in theory yeah but i think it was just a phase that
Really?
I just rocked them.
They had the crazy colors.
What were those one shoes?
God.
No, I can't think of them.
They're like...
Fat farms.
Fat farms.
Oh, my God.
I just do you know that.
Fat farms.
Are they still around?
Ev, pull them up.
Ev doesn't have a computer.
I can multitadad.
He doesn't have one in his personal life.
He doesn't have one even back there that we loaned him.
I'm not sure if Fat Farms still a thing.
There was a kid in my class.
There was a kid in my class that had Fat Farms, and they didn't, this is in the second grade.
But they didn't make them in children's size.
So he was wearing like a size eight shoe in the second grade.
Like he was falling out of his feet.
And then like the teacher's like, you can't go to gym class with those.
And he's like, yeah, Ken is just, yep, fat farms, dude.
Yeah, I would say if you had those back in the day, you were considered cool.
But only for like a couple years.
Those are pretty fucking sick, honestly.
I'd wear those today.
Let's bring them back.
Oh,
they make them now?
What does fat farm even mean?
I don't even know.
Fat farm.
Well, fat, so if you're fat, that's cool, right?
And then the girl version was a baby fat.
I could see like a guy wearing those in Miami with like a button up.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Damn, dude.
The fat farm signed by Run DMC.
Oh, yeah.
That's pretty sick.
How much?
$2.95.
Can't put a price on that.
Let me see if I can order some.
Fat fun.
Everyone go order a vintage shoe right now.
It was always so impractical.
It was like you were like so careful because you got to run the bar laces.
You had to like have the laces off behind your tongue.
It was such a pain in the dick.
I remember looking back and go, why did I do this?
So much work to lace them.
Yeah.
And then it's like you don't want to get them messed up and shit.
We're doing two sets of laces to get the colors, but then having so much lace pack.
Yeah.
And then packing the lace.
inside the shoe so you're just walking on them.
You like would try to like, I'd try to stuff it like under the soul and stuff.
But then it's like you're walking on this bumpy little, yeah.
Slide your foot in and like the laces get tangled up in your toes.
Terrible.
Yeah, we didn't have that at my private school.
Everybody just wore.
Yeah, what was everyone wearing there?
Birkenstocks.
Boat shoes.
Yeah, we were at a lot of times.
Sparries and shit, I'm sure.
Did you have a uniform?
Yeah, in elementary school.
God, can I see pop up a picture?
Of me, brag.
Did you have to wear a tie?
No, Ryan, dude, you like, when Ben asked you to pop up a picture of you in a uniform, you were like, of me, gulp.
Of me?
Ryan, I think that you should start wearing transitions again.
Someone had such a good idea, transitions contacts.
So when you walk out in the sun, they get darker.
So you're always wearing sunglasses.
You would look creepy as hell.
I like it.
I would wear them, but yeah, your eyes are just black.
Yeah, I didn't think about that.
but it'd be fine.
I wish I knew transition, Ryan.
Why?
So you could make fun of them?
Probably.
I don't know.
I just don't even know them.
Let's put it this way.
Me, Justin, and Ken.
Best friends.
We wrote around in Ken's Impraza because Ken was old.
So he had his license.
We would go to the movies a lot because that was the only thing we could do.
But we would, like, we'd go to the movie at eight and then we'd leave here at like four.
And then we'd just drive around and we'd go to the Chinese restaurant, eat a shit ton of ice cream.
Yeah, right when we started hanging out, you were, you were kind of going through this phase of like going downtown and being a bad boy and like yelling like very aggressive things.
Yeah.
Out the window at people like walking from bar to bar.
Mm-hmm.
And I remember going with you one night.
Yeah, you like take people.
There's a bit of culture shock there.
And, like, people obviously don't take kindly to, like, a 15-year-old calling them a fucking pussy.
Yeah.
We saw two guys walking down the street.
And now knowing what I know, yelling at people at, like, 1145 downtown Fargo, like, everybody's walking from bar to bar.
They're all hammered.
And there was two guys wearing affliction t-shirts.
Who knows?
Could have been marking kids.
No.
And I just, we yelled probably called them pussies or something like that.
And they chased us through downtown.
I would have, as a guy with an affliction shirt, would.
Exactly.
She run after a car.
Yeah.
So did you, uh, did you guys take off or what?
Yeah, we took off and Blake was driving and I remember he panicked, panicked.
And, uh, I think we ended up getting jammed up at a light and he's rolled up the windows.
That's what I'd imagine what happened.
You would get one block down and you hit the first red light.
Yeah.
Place in there.
No tint.
Rolled the window up.
Yeah, just keep looking forward to like pretend they're not there.
Pretend he's not there.
it on the window.
One time in elementary school, this, like, pretty much bully was chasing me and my buddy
Chris.
Like, we were pretty small, but we were kind of heckling him.
And we're just walking home from school.
Oh, so you deserved it.
And we were carrying our sleds, like, saucers.
Uh-huh.
He's like, hey, you know, get over here.
Because we were, like, kind of heckling him.
And we're like, oh, he's actually coming after us.
Like, he's, you know, he's going to, like, throw us down or some shit.
And we threw our sleds behind us, like, you know, as like a decoy.
All right.
throw your sleds run and he slipped on the sled
like full blown you know woof like airborne
to the back in the middle of an like an intersection like small town
so no one was driving but just on his back oh
and we're like we got him
and he kept running yeah he just ditch the sleds and then the next day at school
they beat the shit out of him no he beat the shit
he's like twice our size mike was a bully though in high school
or middle school or
I just said it was trickled down
so it makes it make sense that he was
bullying the hierarchy
Mike got beat up first period but second
period he wouldn't kick someone else
but just with a little less
creativity than the original bully
yeah one time I got pushed down to the ground
in fourth grade by like
the local bully wasn't his name like
Reed or something Ray
Ray that's right
yeah you name your kid Ray
he's going to be a bully really yeah bro i think ray is a super fruity name
i can't i can't think of anyone ray is like he's going to be overweight he's going to be just
like fruity i'm vision bib over there i could ray when i think of a ray i think of like rickie's dad
from trailer yeah yeah i think of like tattoos but weathered tattoos uh i just went to
ripped sleeves so not a not a cut off but like ripped so you can still see that it's like
he's strong enough to tear him off himself, probably bald, and just, just an asshole.
So is this what the kid looked like when in the fourth grade?
Yeah, yeah.
You had like the fake first certificate.
So why do you push you to the ground?
I remember hearing about this at the time it happened.
Like it was like, yeah, Benzal's gone up because you got beat up at recess.
Yeah, it was at recess.
Yeah, I remember it.
I don't really remember the content.
What'd you do to, like, why would he go after?
after you.
I don't know.
I'm trying to think of that.
You were probably running your mouth.
Ben was really,
really small.
I could have been running my mouth.
But that doesn't sound like something I would do.
I could see it.
So he just shoved you or did he hit you or what?
I was running.
I was running trying to get away from him.
And he pushed me and it was on like asphalt.
Oh.
You were still talking shit as you were running.
Probably.
Probably.
Did you start crying?
I don't know that's tough did you just get up and go to class or do you have to go to the nurses
no and then I had to go to the nurse's office and I was like gushing blood like everywhere really yeah
do you guys ever just like you'd be at school that day this was mostly I guess elementary school
would be but like say you're at you're at class you're just like fuck I really don't want to be here
this is boring you're looking at the time you're like let's see maybe I can get out of this
so you go to the nurse's office you're like I don't feel very good then
No, I thought that was, I thought that was only in cartoons.
No, I'd do that in real life.
And sometimes it works, sometimes it wouldn't.
You'd just go home.
You'd have your parents come pick you up.
Because you just didn't want to be there.
Then you had to pretend like you were sick for the rest of the day.
So it was a pain because then you have to lay in your bed and watch TV.
I could never bring myself to, like, call in to work just because like, I, whenever I was surrounded by people that do that, just, yeah, why don't you just call in?
Tell them you're sick.
And I'm like, that's lying.
And they're like, so?
And I'm like, they need me.
They need my help.
I agree.
It's way different than elementary versus having a job.
Yeah, when I had a job, I was like, when I worked for, let's say, at the gym or even at
when I washed cars, I was like their go-to guy, which I kind of almost made an issue for
myself because I'd always say yes.
If they called them, hey, we're short a guy, we need you, I'd always show up.
That's what I mean.
If you're working at like a restaurant and there was only like five people on the staff on a slow
It's pretty inconsiderate though
If you just like ditch out
And then someone else
It was supposed to be their day
Or they're not supposed to work right there
Or sudden they were maybe had something planned
And then they end up calling them
For instance me in some cases
Then it's like okay I guess
And you have to like cancel whatever you were doing
You go in
It's also probably just comes down to like the type of person they are
If they're cool with just calling it and lying
Being like yeah I'm sick
Yeah like those people aren't the guy
Or like I'm not feeling good
But they're just hung over like something like that
I mean I think it's like it's a lot deeper than just like
call it you know it's like it reflects on the type of person you are right i uh used to go to my
jobs hungover a lot i never do it here anymore yeah he just stays drinking on the job
but when i would uh i was the saturday actually i wasn't the saturday manager i was the nighttime
manager pretty quickly at the car wash that i worked at and i would always show up hung over when i
had to work saturdays and it was pretty slick you show up and then you just go sit in a car you're
supposed to be detailing and take a nap really
I mean, you wouldn't like just straight of zonk out, but like you would like wipe the dash a little bit and lay back and pretend that you're cleaning something on the floor for a bit.
That's so funny.
Ryan brings like a pillow and sleeping bag, opens up the trunk, crawls in.
When I used to work in, yeah, what's he doing?
When I used to work landscaping, I was even younger yet, I was like 1920 and after drinking too many soda pops all night.
one time I was so tired and hung over
we were laying flagstone pavers
so you're on your hands and knees
like moving rocks
and I basically was so tired
that my head just went down
and I fell asleep on the rock
face down like that like my boss
came over and thought I was like dead
because I was just like face down
he woke me up yeah and I was like
oh shit sorry that was probably the worst
at work nap I've had
my hangover advice
is you got to just keep moving you got to get up
You got to get going, you know.
Yeah.
Well, Burke Chrysher's thing is punish yourself, right?
Like he says, he's like, you chose this.
Yeah.
Get up, work out, make yourself feel better, and then get going, which I agree.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's just so damn hard, though.
I think it lasts longer, though, if you lay around.
Like, it's like a Band-Aid.
You got to, like, you have to get up, get moving.
Rip that shit off.
Start drinking again or stop drinking again.
But either way, you got to get going.
Yeah.
I think the worst part is go figure.
This is different than laying around.
Like, I can sleep it off.
I can just sleep it off.
You can sleep off when you're not hungover.
You couldn't even have been drinking.
You'd sleep it off.
Yeah, I can sleep.
Is anyone else here?
A child?
Big Grinch has some...
Oh, okay.
Does it bring a kid to work today?
We'll do the rest of the podcast whispering then.
Because Big Ranch has his children.
I think the hardest part about most hangovers is they're usually on a Sunday.
And then it's paired with the Sunday scaries of just like, now you're sitting.
back hungover reflecting on the decisions that you made the last two days and then you're thinking
about the decisions that you got to make for the next five days to get through like the week
and it's like oh this is not good dude if it means anything to the people at home we at least i have
the sunday scurries oh yeah and like you'd think we wouldn't but like it's just a normal thing
yeah it is everybody goes through it so you're not alone on that ev has this show that he likes to watch
mainly when he's going to bed after drinking,
but I feel like it's also definitely on
in the mornings.
It's like Ev's Hangover Cure.
It's called Carts of Darkness.
It's a very obscure YouTube documentary.
And funny, it works.
I saw this video,
and this is some real Carts of Darkness shit right here.
The guy gets absolutely bodied.
Oh, no.
Oh, I don't know if I want to watch this.
They just send him into a wall, don't they?
Dude, there's just no way this goes well.
No!
what the fuck were they doing i mean there was definitely no positive outcome to that bro that's
worse than anything jackass did they used to do that shit with the carts where they'd like push
them and then hit the curb and they'd go into a bush that right there was fucking bad
that was just dumb there was yeah there was no good i was no good i was just concrete i still i still
think i'd rather do that than be strapped to a rocket like johnny knoxville that yeah
when johnny does the rocket he goes to the water bro i still
I'd rather
straight to the concrete
he did a front flip
I'd take the rocket to
Micah you're insane
that's like 30 miles an hour
just slam into the asphalt
straight to the concrete
face
but if you go fast enough
you do a full front flip
no no I don't think
that's how that works
that guy might have gotten lucky
I see what you're saying
he might have fully flipped
and then landed on his back
before he hit
rather than belly flopping
so you only broke his back
it's kind of like saying
just break your bone
as soon as it touches a concrete
it's a maybe
you definitely scone
Oh, bro.
And maybe he got me if you did it three times.
It's kind of like saying if you clip the guardrail on the interstate with your car fast enough, you can do a barrel roll.
That was your logic right there.
Yeah, but you'd have to move, you'd have to move into it extremely, extremely fast sideways to do a barrel roll.
But you're using some fucked, excuse me, some fricked term of logic to try to figure out that you're like, no, I would feel safer than this because I'm just going to do a front flip.
Yeah, if I'm just saying, I would rather do exactly what he did than strap myself to the rocket.
You're not even strapped.
You're just holding on to the rocket and you just go into the...
Well, didn't he like...
It's not much different than you jumping a bike off into the...
Have to get his like ureth river place after that?
No, that was from a dirt bike accident.
Oh.
Try to do a backflip and the bike landed on him.
Something did happen with the rocket, though.
The rocket exploded, but it exploded like...
Out the side.
I want to say, like, six inches away from his...
Oh, yeah.
Lagerhead or something.
So it was almost super bad.
chest i think but yeah mike that one just makes no sense i'm sorry well at least now we know
yeah wouldn't we want to grab up new a rocket we got ev and when we want to push our
our friend down a hill in a shopping cart we got mike we do have a couple carts down there if you
want to run it mike well luckily for mike we don't have a single hill in the cormron area
you have a few machines that could generate speed though and we do have a mechanic that can build
it's a rocket banshee bungee oh my banchy banshee banshee
Bungy into a wall.
Wait a minute.
Now that's a bad.
Has anyone wigsurf the shopping cart yet?
How the fuck would you do that?
You have to put it on board.
Just the metal grate somehow is just floating on the...
If you go fast enough, it should skip.
I agree with that at a very, very high speed.
Did you guys see in the last video, actually,
a lot of people are comment...
The top comment is that we have to water skip the big wheel.
It's impossible.
Yeah, I don't really think it...
It definitely has more surface area,
but I don't think it would be easier.
No, and 250Fs are like hard to skip in the first place.
And then that one's like...
Big wheels on it.
Do you think the big tire would help, though?
More surface.
Maybe would, yeah.
Probably make you hydroplane for a second,
but to like actually skip successfully.
There's no way.
You could like skip across a puddle maybe.
I've seen you do that on a normal bike.
You really have to sink this 250F?
Nope.
That's a pretty nice bike.
Even though it's not Evans anymore,
still is emotionally attached to it.
I don't get too emotionally.
connected to that one.
Really?
No, it's not a two-stroke.
It's not as K-TM.
Two-strokes, on the other hand,
there's a special bond you form with them.
I'm surprised you don't have that sleeping in the bed with you.
It's hard to fit through the door.
Do we need to build you a bigger room?
Is that what you're asking for right now?
I just cut out a couple notches on each side of the door frame
for the handlebars to get through.
That'd be very funny.
Didn't Slim put his bike in his basement?
Yeah, he puts it in the basement every winter.
And then he domed his head riding it out.
Kind of to make space in the garage for vehicles
It has to go somewhere
He's got room in the basement
Looks cool
And it looks cool
Yeah
If you shine it up and it's clean
And it's kind of like
It's fucking sick
And I think he does like
You know like a full service on it
It pulls everything apart
Really
It does it all in over the winter
Yeah
I kind of want to put some stuff in my house
You should put a dirt bike in your house dude
That'd be sick
You don't have furniture
You should just put everything
That shouldn't be in a house
You can put your three wheeler
You get a smart car
Put upstairs
Yeah I kind of like that idea
Then he'll feel like the shop at your house.
That'd be great.
Didn't Slim kind of go like medium viral for that when he drove it up the stairs and smoked his head?
That video went crazy.
Yeah, I never successfully made it.
That was the last one.
Yeah, this last year, you just drug it out of the basement, didn't try to ride it again.
Was Stacey his wife pissed when she came home and there was burnout marks on the stairs?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, she claims to be pissed, but I don't think she was too mad.
It's whatever.
He got over it, yeah.
Respect to Slim for doing a burnout up his stairs in his house.
Yeah, it's so legit.
You got to turn the music down.
Oh, it smoked his hat on that.
It was like the little bean.
The double whammy, too.
The little bean on the top of his hat just smoked his hat.
Oh, Slim, dude.
I love that he cares enough to put his dirt bike inside
because he cares so much about the bike.
Well, some people care about their stuff.
Ben. But he's okay with riding up the stairs and like destroying the flooring downstairs on the
stairs upstairs, upstairs, probably dented the ceiling. Way harder to replace than just like your bike
being cold. We should go back and notch out a slim head-sized hole in his stairway right there
so he can do it successfully. I miss that guy. Me too. Yeah, we got to get him up here. Down here.
we're south over
they're technically like straight
straight over
I actually have kind of a bit
of like an OCD thing about that
people would be like oh I'm headed
I'm headed down to Minnesota
from you and they're like coming up
I rich said it our buddy who builds tracks
he goes yeah I finally made it down here
and I was like Rich you drove 1500 miles
straight north this is up
I think we're used to saying down
because typically anywhere we go is technically down
Whatever we're at
All up to Canada
Yeah 100%
Go out west
Yeah true
I would never say
We're going down to Canada
That's just be weird
Yeah
So when you're at home
Correct your friends
They love it
I correct my friends all the time
And they tell me how much they like it
Yeah that's probably one of my favorite things
About you actually Ryan
It's my favorite thing about everyone
Everyone's so good
About making sure that we're
You know just being better
Acutely aware of us being idiots
What do you guys think
about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg
potentially doing an MMA fight.
No chance.
I think it's too good to be true.
Yeah, I don't think they're going to do it.
But for the sake of the story,
I did see that the France government is offered up
the Coliseum for it in Rome.
Which would be fucking legit.
They should fight to the death.
Isn't it amazing the time we live in?
No other time in history was like,
let's get the two richest men on the planet
and have them fight each other.
Yes.
They'll do it in space.
They'll do it in space.
Oh, man, that would be incredible.
On the Titanic.
Jesus.
I feel like they're more space guys than ocean guys.
I know it's crazy, but like I wouldn't be that surprised.
If it happened?
Yeah, bro.
I mean, it makes sense because Elon's cool and Mark actually trains
jujitsu, which is quite different than boxing,
but it does seem like he's about it.
If he goes to Jiu-Jitsu competitions, he's clearly not afraid of getting hurt.
Yeah.
Because you can get slammed down and whatever else.
And Elon would just do it for the culture.
I just don't foresee it happening, man.
Like, their brains are like their most important things.
You think they're going to box each other?
I mean, if they do it, I hope they do it.
That'd be so, so cool and so funny.
It'd probably be the biggest boxing event.
You'd feel like everybody would watch that.
Quite possibly in the world.
It would be 100%.
Because it's so strange.
And, like, it's tying in everyone because it's not just two boxers that only boxing fans know.
It's, you know, moguls of the world.
Dana wants to be, like, the promoter, put it on course.
Yeah, he does.
Yeah, no shit.
And anyway, it was a clip of him being like, these boxers coming together trying to make a show.
But this is just stupid.
Like, two people that shouldn't be fighting each other shouldn't be entertainment.
Then the next guy is, yeah, so I just got off.
the phone with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk sounds like they're both interested in fighting so
hopefully we can make this happen yeah the only way to never be wrong is never say anything never say
anything yeah that's true no I think honestly though like crazy things have happened and I wouldn't be
that surprised yeah I agree but going off of what Ryan said his statement about never say anything
because then you can never be wrong so I like recently I've been like trying to get back into
working out and all this. I'm looking at
these, like, health bands and whatever
that, like, track your health, you know, so
you can do, like, a whoop or a Fitbit
or even the Apple Watch.
Possibly. Uh-oh.
So with the whoop, you got to, like, pay
a monthly thing. And same with,
like, the other brands. I think there's
a ring that you can do as well.
Oh, yeah. And, uh, I just had to
immediately be like, well,
can't do the Apple Watch. I talk too much shit on them.
Yeah, that'd be a tough look. Yeah, I can't go
back on it. I would accept you right in.
It would be nice, though, to have it just to monitor my health.
That's the only reason I want it, just so I could see.
It watches your sleep, doesn't it?
Yeah.
And I do like that.
But it is funny because I don't work out.
I don't hit the gym.
So, like, all the fitness stuff that they're come packed with is just useless to me.
No, it counts my steps.
You guys could share.
Just envision the activities Mike's doing and what the watch thinks he's doing.
What's you doing?
I don't even.
Oh, wow.
Oh, 35 minutes on the shake weight today.
It says that.
Yeah, when I'm like out dirt biking, it shakes it around.
And it goes, record outdoor cycle.
And I'm like, it's counting all these calories.
Yeah.
It's like, man, this guy is a Lance Armstrong.
That's one thing, dude.
I was looking at the watch.
The Apple Watch seems more versatile because it actually can do a few more other things
that I probably wouldn't use.
Tells you the time on like the woop bank.
You don't have to pay a subscription.
No, it's just a little band.
And I was looking at it.
I was like, God, I'm not going to wear this thing everywhere.
It looks kind of lame.
Our buddy around here, he wears a nice watch.
And then so he got the Wop Band because I was like, he was like,
I had an Apple Watch, but I can't wear two watches.
Today, CJ gets a workout ban is when Rolex makes one.
No, yeah, that's actually a good point.
I'd rather just wear the Roli and then.
I think I'd do the ring one.
So, yeah, I just don't seem like a ring guy, but no.
But then if you're like, oh, it tells me that I slept.
Good last night.
What fuck, do I wear it on my pinky?
No, I think it's your index, maybe your middle.
So whether it tells you you slept good or you slept bad, what usefulness is that information?
That's a good point of all the stuff it tells you is irrelevant.
It makes you feel better because you can prove that you did something today that you didn't just sit on your ass.
But I think all they do is make people feel good.
They're a waste of money in time.
You're right.
Such a great point.
You're right.
Such a fantastic point.
just wake up and go last night you drank 12 teas before bed in order to sleep better don't drink 12
tees before bed that's true i don't want to know that i did kind of come to that that realization i was like
i mean i probably know what i need to do if i want to get better sleep or whatever but i was just
interested in seeing you know i guess the data i saw somebody uh on the boat this other weekend
and they had like a very noticeable tan line from a wood band and i was like oh you like wear it a lot like
whatever, did you like it?
Because I was looking into it, too.
And he goes, yeah, I wore it straight for two years.
And he goes, I got so dialed, I know exactly what the band's going to tell me.
Don't eat after 8 o'clock.
Don't have this type of food.
Like, make sure you exercise it.
It tells you that?
Yeah.
Wow.
Now I'm more interested.
You need someone to tell you not get a snack before bed?
No.
You don't know.
You're right.
I do know that.
You're right.
I do.
When I go on that,
I grab a cookie at 10 o'clock at night, I know I shouldn't be more.
And I'm like,
And then when I go back for the second, I know for a fact, I'm like, this is not good.
I was like, I need a device.
And just ask that what to do is.
I have one of us.
I actually do have a magic gate ball from when I was a kid.
Really?
Yeah, of course, bro.
Those things were sick.
I was like, yeah, so my whoop bands been pissing me off.
Told me I was unhealthy yesterday.
Oh, bitch.
Yeah.
And I was just pissed because I had a great day.
I sat at the bar from 12 to 12.
That's a shift.
That's a shift.
Ryan, a couple podcasts ago, you were saying how, with me and CJ, we stick to our word, right?
And I said, yeah, it's all fun in games until it gets you in a sticky position.
CJ right here, he's in a sticky position.
I'm not jammed up.
Well, yeah, but you just.
I know I can't do that.
Yeah, if you do that, if you do that and somebody takes a picture of you at the gym and it gets leaked, bro.
Yeah, you maybe want a little tall.
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
I would take advantage of that.
You guys would.
I know for a fact you guys would be taking a pick.
That's why I can't.
100%.
100%.
I think.
But if you really full circle, you could go,
listen,
I started looking into the benefits like you did.
And you go,
I found a usefulness for it now.
I didn't think it was cool to get my text message on my phone and
wear it as an accessory piece,
which is what you thought.
But you go,
now I found this usefulness.
Yeah,
but I mean,
I feel like you have to live under a damn rock to not know.
an Apple watch tracks your fitness.
I didn't know how in depth it did.
I just thought it came out.
Steps.
Like I was,
I don't really care about the steps.
It's not a stedometer.
You guys remember those?
Those are pretty fucking cool.
Put on your waistband.
Yeah, you get them in gym.
Yeah.
I had one because my mom had one.
So I was like,
can I wear it sometimes?
And then she probably wore it for a week
and then I got to wear it.
When I was in college for the short stint,
I took health class.
and part of the health class was you had to get 10,000 steps every single day.
And then you had to submit basically like a screenshot or some kind of form
showing that you got 10,000 steps, right?
Well, I wasn't getting 10,000 steps.
And I wasn't going to, about to go to the track and do it.
So I just got really good at just photoshopping it.
That's where I learned to Photoshop.
You cut in the top of the screen and you put in the bottom.
So it shows your steps.
So every week I had the same amount of steps.
Do you guys remember power balance bands?
Yeah.
Yeah, bro.
And then they came out that it was a sham.
Oh, who would have thought?
No, fake.
And they sold them for like 20 to 30 bucks,
depending on which one you got.
You ever have a kid in your class that was like they bought the fake ones
and then would sell those for 15 or so whatever?
Everything.
It's all mental, dude.
That's what it was.
All mental.
But no, it was weird.
You go into Shields and the salesman would like do the test with you.
And they'd be like, see, yep.
isn't that cool you gotta have one yeah they put it on and then no they'd they'd be like
all right stand here and then they'd like push you back just like hardly and you'd like take a step
back and then they'd put it on you and then they do it again but obviously now you're expecting it
so you're like you're gonna add a little resistance when it comes and then you're like oh my god wow
see look gravity ever since i need this ever since i got this power balance band i haven't gotten blown
over in the wind once but it's like yeah and then people would they would you know if a buddy
he did that to you they're like oh yeah that could see that but then if the salesman at shields does
that to you you're like well the salesman said that so like obviously yeah the fuck was that guy getting
out of it he was just conning a bunch of people and he's just like was he getting a commission off
those things or what yeah sure but you know you always got to wonder if you should be buying
something from a guy that rolls up on a segue that's true they are bad news
did you know the guy that invented the segue died because he drove it off the girl
Grand Canyon.
What?
We should fact check this.
That is the story I heard.
No way.
On an accident?
As far as I know, he didn't leave a note.
When you search up, how did the inventor, that's the first thing that comes up.
Okay, Jimmy held Zinn, didn't invent the Segway, but he was the company's owner when he
tumbled off a cliff while riding an altar in Segway.
Oh, that's not a good look.
Okay, so it wasn't the Grand Canyon.
Dude, he was about it.
Close enough.
He was about it.
He was riding his segways.
Saturday.
He was spending it.
Around the Grand Canyon and fell in.
That's...
On that note.
Man, that's tough.
What about the little Amazon segways?
Like the foot segways without the big stick
and the handlebars?
I feel like the stick is a lot cooler with the handlebars.
It just looks more official.
Like a mall cop.
Yeah, like the mall cops were all strapped with those things.
There's something about when you're on that thing.
It just demands, like, you know, you're the,
I was going to say respect, and you have authority.
Like, that's what it, it just yells out at everyone.
Like, I'm in authority.
DJ starts rolling around the shop on a segue.
I could see Ken having one.
I could see Ken having one.
He's riding around the merch bay, another foot and a half taller.
Driving around a segue, I feel like you should be giving orders.
Yeah.
people. Ken would
roll around on the segue with the stick and the bars
and then all of his minions
would be rolling around with just like the Amazon
Segways.
This is so much more efficient.
It's like a mother dog.
You just plug them in at night.
There's traffic champs.
And we walk back there and there's stripes
on the ground. Everyone's like
got their own lanes.
You can only fit half the closer and closer to Wally.
You can only fit half the amount of shelving in
there, but it's so much more efficient.
They would crash every day
You had to fulfill orders on a hoverboard
Yeah, I could actually see it though
Be like a one wheel, it would be like one wheeling around
That'd be like the cool mall cop
Rolls up
On a one wheel
Yeah, what up fellas
What up fellas, what's going on here
I do have a bit of a question to pose
For you guys
We talked about it before
And I just had this new realization
You know, we've talked about girls and only fans and if you would let your girlfriend have an only fans or if you would encourage it.
And it came to me, are guys that are dating only fans girls cucky?
Yeah.
It depends on the content.
Like your girls out there posting bikini or less and you're promoting it and you're like commenting like so hot, babe.
I don't think that's, here's a thing, Ryan.
I don't think so.
I think they're just after the money.
They're hustling, man.
Yeah, but, I mean, it's just your girlfriend.
You aren't getting any cash out of that.
It's not like it's going into your bank.
Well, if she's paying for all your shit,
if you're in a free ride, yeah.
You better be taking a cut.
Or if it's your wife.
I think, um,
Cucky.
That's when you,
Cucky just seems kind of aggressive.
That's,
it is an aggressive turn.
That'd be like for a guy that's dating a porn star possibly,
but that's the same thing is work, man.
But like,
maybe those guys like,
kind of like their girlfriend being like admired by a bunch of other people everybody
wants a hot girlfriend but nobody else wants to get in the way of them and their hot girlfriend
but okay what do you do you think I think so I think so I think so I don't love the word though
like I don't know it's not that fun to when you listen to like podcast like I'll listen to
no jumper and sometimes they'll have like the porn stars on I know Evan listens to them
seems like oftentimes these porn star you know the gal and then the guy they have like
like they're just like open like they can do whatever yeah so that's maybe the extreme
maybe like you know both ends it's not one way street your friend peter and his girlfriend
tiffany they she's got an only fans a couple thousand people subscribe to it doing pretty solid
you know makes a couple grand a month he really loves it he's like it's cool he's posting her
pictures on his story and like getting a cut out my hot girlfriend post
nudes on only fans he's probably getting a cut at that point okay there probably is some guys
that do like that or or like that their girlfriend is being admired but i would imagine
that a lot of times it's either about the money or they're just not stoked on it if you got no one
hitting on your chick then maybe she's not that pretty that's what i'm saying like everybody
wants yeah other people to think their girlfriend's hot but nobody wants
the other guys to tell their girlfriend that they think that they're hot.
Yeah, I'd say everyone wants to date a hot chick.
Yeah, for sure.
But no one wants the hot, you know, the problem with dating a hot chick is everyone thinks she's hot.
And then, you know, you're going to have guys trying to make some moves.
You're going to be walking around with clenched fists all the time.
Yeah, what are you going to do, fight everyone that fucking looks her way?
And there is guys like that.
Yeah, and stay out of their way.
Yeah, no kidding.
What a stupid thing to get to fight about?
Well, there we go.
I'm honestly intrigued on other people's thoughts on that.
Have you got a street fight over a chick, did you?
I was like 19, but yes.
Well, shit, fellas, I hope everybody had a great Fourth of July.
We are about to.
And we'll be back next Tuesday with another fresh podcast.
Absolutely.
We'll see you then.
Cheers, guys.
Cheers.
