You know what's the most annoying thing in the world? What's that a rebel? When you get a call from a telemarketer, have you all gotten calls from a telemarketer? Of course. Almost every day. Ben gets a lot. And I don't really know why Ben gets so many for some reason. I think it was an insurance thing that you got.

I do get a lot. They see a sucker coming from a mile away. And you always are so kind to them. You're like, hello? And you're like, yep. Nope. Okay. And then you would sometimes even hear them out.

You used to like listen to their spiel and go, no, no, no. I'm good. I'm good. Yes. kind of. At the end of the day, most these people are just telemarketers just doing their job. They're not scam, like call centers. Totally agree with that. So I'm not going to just be like, hey, yo, how about you piss off, mate? He's not going to turn Australian on him. No, no, no. So the reason that I'm on this calling list of its insurance telemarketers is because I must have gotten

like a Facebook or an Instagram ad of like looking for insurance because I was looking for insurance at the time. And then I was like, I'm looking for insurance. And then I give them all of my information willingly. Now you have to up. But no, that did get me really good insurance rates though. So it's like, it's kind of worth it. I got a good rate, but I also have to deal with this now. And it goes in waves where I'll get like 10 to 20 different calls in the span of like five days and then it'll just go like a week of nothing and then i'm like oh i'm off the list finally and then i get another call from another like north dakota address and i'm like oh and it just goes silent i'm like damn and i'm back on the list oh okay well when you say that they're from like

an endy area code that's why they're still a little scammy because they'll use your area code to call you so that you think that it's coming from your area and every single time i look at the number and I go, is this the insurance number or not? And I'm like, I better just answer just in case. My thought on it is every time you do it, my dad does it, he goes, yep, please, please take me off your list. Do you think that they even take you off a list or do you think you just like, is it even worth saying that or are you just better off going like, no, I'm good. Thank you. Have a nice day. Because you don't want to be a dick. I agree. They do a job. They keep calling you. But do they? Like obviously the The message was across that you do not want what they want.

So do you think... In my experience, they keep calling. Do you think, yeah, saying, please take me off your list actually gets you off the list? No, but neither does the other one. And it seems like that one's a little bit more effective where it'll get, buy you like two week span versus five days. I've got a solution for you. Block the numbers.

No. You can set your iPhone so it blocks any number that you don't have in your context list. Yeah, I can't do that. It's the best thing ever. I can't do that. Dude, you have no idea how terrible that is for business of like everyone else trying to get a hold of you that then thinks that you ignore them for months on end, which you might actually if they aren't blocked. And then they finally come to us, hey, I've been trying to get a hold

of Ken for the last six months. So I have this really good opportunity for you guys. And Ken's just been straight up ignoring me. The problem is I get at least 100 calls a day from kids asking say, hey, what's up? So I was just like, I can't. take all those calls. So I just have to go. That's 100 calls a day. Yes. One kid called me 15 times last night.

Okay. If that is the case, that's super annoying. He does. Dude, I've seen it. Like, we think we get a lot.

Ken gets so many and he gets the persistent ones too. Yeah. And that actually does suck. If they want to get a hold of me, they'll shoot me a text or I'll already have them on my contacts list. Yeah. So like our voicemail's dead because I still want people to leave me a voicemail.

If you need to get a hold of me, leave me a voicemail. I think it's tough text with you, though, because even if you do get the message, you don't respond for weeks on end. Unless it's important. Yeah, but how many times do you respond to a message or a call like four weeks later? Often. How? How can you not just like do it right off the back?

I respond to some right away, some a day later, some a week later, some two weeks later, some three weeks later. Yeah, but why? Obviously you do that, but why do you choose to respond to some? four weeks later. I don't, well, because I put it on my to-do list and then I still got it. I have a really- But do you think it takes more time to physically go, I need to text Stevie Wonder back about his thing. And then you go, call Stevie Wonder back.

Or is it easier to just go, hey, Stevie, let's get that Wonderbread done. And I have to like sometimes mentally tax myself with whatever that person is potentially requesting. That, that's true. Don't you feel like valid both ways? If you ignore somebody. or you're not responding to a certain thing that you have to deal with

for a set amount of time. Doesn't that weigh on you? Yeah, a little. You just want to get it out of the way? No, it weighs on me more. Honestly, it weighs on me more when I, like, respond to them right away and then they respond right away

and then I'm like, here we are again. If they're requesting something, that is. We're being productive. I mean, not necessarily, because like you, it's like maybe let's say it's a buddy who want, like now I just tell them like I can't do it.

But if it's a buddy that's like, hey, can you do something for me? And then I'm like, maybe. And then they'll be like, can you design me a rap for my dirt bike? And then I, and now I just be like, ah, dude, no way. I don't have time. I'd love to. But, and it's stuff like that. Like, when they're trying to get something out of you, it's so hard to just, like, drag

them along. Was that a sub-tweet? That felt like that was directed directly at me. At you? Oh, no. You know how many times I've asked Micah to make me a rap for something? Like, that was so specific. It's funny because, no, it's not at you at all because creating a rap for you is like on, it's like being on payroll.

Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. Never mind. I felt a little attack there for a second. I have a question. How do you respond to telemarketers, Ryan? I've gotten them because my numbers on some of the Shopify stuff.

So like some guy from some company will be like, hey, I can get you text marketing. And I just go, hey, we're good. Like, no, no, thank you. And then you hang up. So you don't yell at them or nothing? No, no, no, no, no. No, no. No, no.

No, no. No, no. You don't need the like, I used to do the whole thing where you listen to the spiel. And then you're like, yeah, maybe you will let me talk to the guys. And then they keep calling you back. And that's a little more specific to a business decision. But like, it's pretty easy to just be like, I'm going to stop you right there. I'm not interested by.

You know, you have more than telemarketers, Ryan, financial advisors. Yeah, I do. I have a lot of them. And that. And credit card offers. Yeah. For those guys, it's tough because you know them. Yeah.

And then you're just like, ah, I'm. I'm sorry. I already got a guy. He's taken care of it. And it's done. So at least now that I have it taken care of, it's way easier. But when I didn't, I'd be like, yeah, I'll hear you out. That is a tough position too because usually when you tell them like, oh, I've got a guy,

they're always like, I can beat them. Yeah. And then it's like, oh, man. You feel bad too. Like now that my sister has graduated or her friends have like they're getting into that. So then they'll start calling me. And I'll be like, hey, listen, dude, you can do this.

I'm sorry. Then I'm shutting you down. But like, good luck with your career. So that you're talking about those are people you personally know. Yeah. There's like, hey, Sydney gave me your number. And we went to college together and I'm just starting out selling insurance. I feel bad.

You know, you're just chopping down some kid's dream. Yeah, I had one where the guy gave me the feeling and everything. And I was like, look, man, I'm not interested in shit. I've got a guy. And to be completely honest, I get one of these calls at least once a week, especially around this age because we have so many friends that are now graduating and doing it. and I was like, dude, I'm not interested. And he was like, well, how about, how about we grab lunch? And I was like, I was like, man, I'm really busy.

Yeah. I'm really busy. And you could tell, you could just hear it in my voice. And he was like, all good, man. Yeah. Sounds good later. Cold calling people like that in like actually getting a hundred nose to one yes. Like that, that's got to be tough.

Good for them. If you're doing it, keep doing it. Dude, some people are just meant for that with sales. like they're just like relentless and those are the guys that make the big bucks like they can just constantly be shut down and rejected and then finally it just clicks and back thing you know you're into a hundred thousand dollars in penny stocks right jordan belford uh back to ken though i think it's tough for him because he gets so many customer service things like all day he is bombarded with personal requests for like little jobs for him to do and he's pretty damn good at it i don't know

how many emails he gets a day, but he probably takes care of 99.5% of them. But occasionally one person will slip through the cracks and then they send a DM like, Ken's been ignoring me for three months and my shirt sucks and all this. And we're like, Ken, can you take care of this? Or like, Ken, what the fuck? You need to respond to people.

But I think in general, he does a pretty good job. You're running the customer service of at least a three-man team. I've never met somebody who hates dealing and talking to people more than Ken who's in customer service, dude. The problem is so many people, they're like, where is they, they give you like this little morsel of information, but it's not like all the information you need to figure something out of what's going on. And it's the other thing is a lot of people will send it to our Instagram account.

And nobody goes through every little DM that we get in our Instagram account. So it might go like, nobody might see that forever. Yeah. And that one's tough because if they're actually missing their order, but they just give you like almost no information, that means you need to follow up with them and then wait for their response back with more information to yet still figure out what the issue is. Yeah. It's so nitpicky and annoying to deal with, but it's so important because I think our returning customer rate is like 65%. Pretty crazy. Drop after drop, 65% of the people that order are going to come back. And if they had a bad experience, then they're not going to. And I do that all the time when I'm ordering something. And if it's a pain in the butt to ship it back, or if they don't give me the option or there's no communication at all, and I'm just like,

dude, I'm never ordering it. Or it's like a bad shirt. Like I've ordered other YouTubers merches, merch and like it was garbage. Like ours is nice. Like we make sure it's good. Definitely do.

And also like people have a tendency to speak out loud to, to their peers and friends. You could have like three good experiences and then one bad experience. And then if the experience is bad enough, you'd bring it up to your friends. And then they'd probably be like, well, I'm probably not going to order either. I've heard both sides of things where they're like, Ken's been ignoring me for six months. But I've also heard the complete opposite of Ken is so on top of it. He responds to my emails at 9 p.m. at night and got my order fixed right away.

So I'll give you some credit there, Ken. You do great with the customers and maybe not so great with our immediate friends that are trying to get a hold of you. I'm going to go through my recent calls list. just look at all the red ones the red ones are people not in my contact list and that just get auto blocked oh my gosh they're more than 50 percent phone number dude for your personal phone I need a business phone and I was considering sitting up my a new phone number I don't think it'd be that crazy for Ken to have a business I don't either I think it'd be worth it for that matter he could have his government name phone and then his his Ken phone but I'm also thinking

Ken has two phones two separate lives walk it around with like you know the people that like set their phones down and there's two of them. They're walking around, holding two phones, pulling them both out. It'd be a real business man. It's pretty baller. But I'm scrolling on both hands. I'm also thinking, even if we have... He's got different Reddit accounts for everything.

Even if we have this second phone where the number is semi-public, you know, we're not going to, like, post it everywhere. But it's something you reach. Ken can't carry that phone on him. It's going to be buzzing all day. There's up two SIM cards. No, dude, you got to flex and get two phone. You can imagine Ken Akimbo scrolling?

Yeah. Ken, I can see it. He's got Twitter. up on one and read it up on the other. Taking in all the information. Ken like starts getting like the lizard eyes where they go out because he's looking at both of them. Taking scrolls to a whole other level.

But I did want to give you credit, Ken. You do a damn good job with customer service. And if you have ever ordered something, you've dealt with Ken personally. And I hope you've had a good experience. And also speaking of 60% of returning customers, only 50% of the people are subscribed to this podcast. So if you're listening now and you are not subscribed, please do. I'm cracking up again, having lizard eyes.

Yeah. Going cock, I'd just scroll on two phones. Like Don Vito. All right, I want to do a bit where I pop up YouTubers cars that we've all watched the videos of them being built or them doing anything with them on the internet and then ask you guys what you rate them 1 to 10. All right.

Also, I want to say when I was going through and trying to narrow down just a couple of cars to do, bro, so many YouTubers have so many unique and cool. cars these days and it was really difficult but all right first one up stradmans Lamborghini event door pirelli edition with liberty walk wide body kit Rosa cantis paint and white pinstriping the paint job is one of three painted in this color in the world and it's got a custom all white and pink interior the story behind it was it was in an accident with a police car before he bought it and now it's a salvaged title that he completely rebuilt.

Oh. So pretty cool. With his dad, I think, too. He finished it on the day that his dad passed away. So he kind of, it's in memory of his dad. But all right. Okay. Mike, one of a 10.

9.9. C.J. I'd have to say 10. Really? See, I think you can put a kit in that color and that wing on a heavy modified Lambo like that. So I think it all works together pretty well. But it seems to be a bit.

overstayed for me, I'm going to play devil's avocado, 8.2. So it's pretty high. It's very loud, and I think it works for a YouTuber. It looks amazing. I guess the only bad part about of Venadors in general is the interior is very outdated, like the screen and all that. Have you noticed that? Yeah, I think, well, most Lambos are. I think most Lambos don't. It's even worse. Like, and that's a more expensive Lamborghini. If I had to guess, it would just be, I remember when I saw Bugatti interior and someone explained that they try to keep it timeless. I would say they're playing in on that, which is kind of, if you look at it, it's not, it, I don't know, but they just haven't changed

it, I don't think. But of all the things, my favorite part is the full custom interior. Like, that's what makes, that's what to me sets it apart. His white dash, I guess, is like problematic because it reflects onto the, the windshield. It's so angled. And I guess it's kind of hard to see. Everything about it is perfect, so loud. It looks like one of the fastest cars you'd ever see on the road.

The only reason I took it the one tick off was because it's pink. I love that it's painted, but I would do it like any other color besides pink, but it still looks beautiful. I mean, you're really never going to see a wide body event door like this, but you're really never going to see a pink wide body with white wheels, white interior, big ass wing. Very true. Loud exhaust, everything about it. One of a kind. It's such a YouTuber car. It's so over the top.

It's ridiculous. I like it. I think he absolutely killed it on it. Here's like a side shot of it that I think is really shows like the angles of it. how sharp it is. I love that. It's such a beautiful car. The spider.

I'm actually not sure. I think it's on static suspension. It's got a front lift on it, I believe. But a lot of these cars are on airbags, but people that have airbags or shops that install a lot of airbags or static suspension on cars, they always say that airbags are kind of a pain in the butt and they never are as good as you would want them to be.

Doesn't work very well in my homer. Ryan knows firsthand. Such a beautiful car. I'd give this a 9.5. Nice. I love that car. I got to stay with 10. To succeed in the future of work,

forward thinkers use AI to deliver measurable results. Workday is the AI platform for HR and finance that frees you from the mundane so you can focus on more meaningful work. Workday, moving business forever forward. All right, the next one, shaking it up a little bit here. Whistling Diesel is 2022 AMGGG-G-63, otherwise known as a G-Wagon.

This thing, it's got bigger turbos on it, pushing 1,000 horsepower, acropovic, exhaust, lift kit, and 33-inch tires. I'd give this one a 9.5. Dude, I hate to say it, but 10. I love it. Really? Yeah, I like that a lot. That's the coolest G-Wagon I've ever seen. This is more of like a, more of a stock car.

You know, obviously it's got the little cosmetic changes to it, and it's faster. But overall, you're going to look at it, and it mostly looks stock. I think it's beautiful. right well it's sweet because he modified it but it still works like he's jumping it right there like you could have went and you could have modified it either lower or put such a big lift on it that it becomes unfunctional so where he nailed it was it's fast a f and it sounds pretty solid but yet you can do stuff like that with it so i mean yeah i'd give it like in the nines it really is a great looking car and i think the coolest part about it is that he really showed

how capable it is my only beef is the exhaust sounds kind of tinny which i know people People are on, but I think it just... For a $9,000 exhaust. Exactly. I would have expected to be a little better, but it's loud and it's sweet. I guess what I find most interesting is that after he uploaded this video, I like G-Wagons, but then a video of Whistling Diesel basically destroying this thing made me like them 10 times more. I mean, obviously he tested it and showed what it can do, but I was like, I want one.

That's a nice-ass-car, and it's badass, too. And what it can do? I mean, the suspension, I don't even know. got to weigh a bunch. Whoever built the suspension for that deserves an award. I feel like it's hard to have a luxury vehicle. That's a luxury, like, boozy vehicle, but it's still badass in my opinion. And that's because of like maybe the red, but also just the overall look of it, it's just a

badass vehicle. I like it a lot. $300,000 vehicle. And that's obviously with dealer markup. And I think he bought it in the worst possible time. But there's a lot of money for basically a glorified Jeep. But as he proved, it's a lot. It's a lot better than a Jeep.

I just want to play the clip of him jumping it. For anyone that hasn't seen it. God, that's such a... 91 feet. Imagine if you would have rolled that thing, dude. No one there that day was expecting to see that. That much of a boot. Dude, I have been to those sand dunes,

and I have tried to jump them. Well, I have jumped them in a side-by-side with side-by-side bog. And we probably went not even that far. And it was terrifying. So I can't imagine doing it in like an 8,000-pound car. I think the thing about that video that really makes it stand out is 99% of people who own G-Wagons will never take that thing off the pavement

and he's just full sending it. Yeah, and it actually held up, which is cool. All right, the next car is T.J. Hunt's 2020 C8 Corvette twin turbo 1,500 horsepower with a fully custom street hunter wide body kit, which is his own wide body kit. So the thing is like completely one of one, insanely fast and personally I think it looks amazing this is my favorite wide body kit on any of the C8s what do you guys think 10 9.9 for me I hope you picked ugly or YouTuber cars because I feel like

we're giving all these I'm giving this a seven dude okay seven maybe a seven and a half reason why I'm saying that I honestly don't think it looks like good with the wide body kit the rear is too wide compared to the front it looks too wide it's not proportionate and there's oftentimes where I see a wide body kit get thrown on a vehicle and it's just like too much like Stratman has looked good this is too wide in my personal opinion and I don't really like the wing either just kind of looks doesn't look right to me I'd rather just have a factory one the thing I do like about it is it isn't a bolt on kit you know it doesn't have the bolts holding it on I don't know how it's fastened it probably has bolts but I like that it's smooth from the back side

yeah from you don't you don't see the rivets yeah exactly because I think that's the one thing that can sometimes make body kits look cheesy is it looks like they are bolted onto the outside of a car, which they aren't. I agree. It does look a little bit cheaper. This one looks a little bit more factory. When I saw it at SEMA, I thought it looked kind of homemade personally. Really? I got nothing as T.J. Hunt. I'm just saying I thought it seemed kind of homemade. Like it just, it looked wonky to me. I think one thing that it could maybe change, let's say the rear fenders weren't as wide and this was a ZO6. I know that would change a lot, but the fenders are already wider on that. I think I think that would look tasteful, but I think it looks incredible.

I, the color is like amazing for me, but still would change it. The wheels, though, the silver like three piece, whatever HRE wheels, unreal. That's my favorite part of the car. I love that silver wheels are coming back. My like dream is a black, either matte black or just black car and then get some really nice polish wheels kind of like Mike has on a Subaru, the same color. You already kind of got that with your homer, right? That's true.

Yeah, kind of. But I mean, yeah, I think that's such a cool look that went away for a while that I think now should come back. I agree with that. I think that TJ ran into a lot of problems with the twin turbo kit on this because the ECU is so hard to unlock or do anything to it. Actually, maybe they didn't even unlock it, but it's so hard to do anything with the C8 platform.

You want to know what's even crazier, though, is Amelia Hartford? She already twin turboed her fucking 06. Yeah, how? C8. Does it work? They don't have a tune yet, but she slapped them on, started it up, revved it. I was like mind-blowing. That'll be a crazy car.

A Z-O-6-C-8 twin-turboed. Unreal. Yeah, it sounds like a Ferrari. Yeah. A twin-turbo Ferrari. But yeah. The only turnoff to this car is it's now for sale, and it is for sale for $250,000. For a Corvette.

That's not even a zero-6. It's a lot of money. No way. A lot of money. No one's going to buy that. for 250 yeah i don't know somebody who's maybe a big tj fan and watch the whole build i've thought about that and i've always wondered like do people buy people's cars because of whose they were god knows they are not buying mine because of i owned it but you know do you want a car you're like

oh t j hunt owned that that's really cool like even if the rock owned a car i don't think it would make me pay a significant markup to be like this is the rock's car granted he has some really cool cars and I love his. I don't think anybody that has $250,000 to spend on a C8 Stingray Corvette is going to pay extra because a YouTuber such as T.J. Hunt owned it prior. Also, the rock, maybe that's cooler. That's a lot cooler or like a music artist, but I don't think anybody that's got money like that gives a fuck of a YouTuber owned it prior.

Also, do you think anybody with that type of money is buying a car like that? Like, that looks like what a 20-year-old would design. find a car. And I still think it looks good, but I think like it looks like Stradman's a Ventador. Yeah. His vendor I think looks better.

It looks more proportionate, but I've already said that. So would you rather have this or a ZO6 at the same price? Z06. Zero six, by far. 100%. It's a stock Z06.

Yeah. Probably that. Yeah, I would go with that too. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, you drive that. I think it's way cooler than it. Yeah. And keep in mind, 1,500 horse. Yeah. I did kind of forget about that when I said the Zohs. but still, I still think I'd take a zero six

with the different motor. If it was the standard zero six upgrade where they just supercharged the current engine, it would be closer. Gotcha. I'd give this thing a 8-8, and the only reason I would give it anything more if it was red.

I like red, obviously because I had a red C8, but if it was a red one, I'd probably give it a 9-5. All right, last one, had to throw into the mix, one of our own vehicles. So I did our steam a truck.

It's a 2019 F-350 built by banker at custom offsets, specifically for SEMA as a SEMA build. It's on 26-inch rims with 40-inch tires around them, 8-inch coil-over lift kit, custom front and rear bumper, powder-coated and paint-matched, pretty much everything underneath it. It's deleted 5% all around, allegedly. Allegedly. And of course, train horns. Oh, and the drop hitch. Oh, pretty amazing.

I got to give this thing a 9.5. I really love this truck. It's not perfect, but it is everything you could ask for out of a show lifted truck and my favorite colors too, black and red. Yeah, I think I'd have to give it like a 9. Actually, maybe a little higher.

I don't know, but it's tough. I wouldn't give it a perfect 10 just because it's not a limited or a platinum. But I think it is, I mean, it doesn't really get any better in my personal opinion when it comes of lifting up, you know, These big lifted trucks.

They're all relatively the same after a certain point. Rides, like, not that great, but drives really good. Just rides rough. Probably time to send it down the road sooner rather than later. Ryan? I, yeah, I think it's the perfect mix of, like, how overstated and loud it is, but yet it's still not ridiculous. Like, it doesn't have pinstriping all over it. It's not like a weird color.

The black and red is a really nice accent, especially with all. all the red underneath. I think there's actually spacers on those tires. And I think if you took the spacers out and pulled the wheels in a little more, it would look a little less. When you see it down the road, it's got like this really big like, it looks like you put a smaller truck on top of it because the wheels are so far out.

I think it would look a little more proportional from the back or the front. Okay. And I think it would also make it not a walking by or a driving violation constantly. It would help. And that truck really surprised me. me because I did not like it from the start, but I came around to it. How about knowing how it drives? What do you guys think about like the driving?

I don't mind it. I don't mind it at all. I don't mind it either. I don't mind the drive. I just don't like how rough it is. Like it starts to get a little bit jarring after a while, at least for me. I hate how it drives. I absolutely hate it.

Well, it doesn't drive itself, Ken. That's probably the problem. I don't like how loose the front end is. It feels like I'm driving a 20. 20 year old truck. It's not what I like. As a guy who drives a 20 year old vehicle, that thing seems pretty in line. Yeah, it's like it's your outlook coming into it because I know it has two steering stabilizers on the front. Like what more can you really do? I'm sure there's a little bit more, but like for for how it is and how it's set up, I mean, it's all pulled out all the stops for it.

So I think it drives okay. I think looks wise, incredible. One of my favorite looking trucks, even seeing all the ones at SEMA, I think this one is, is well-sized where you can actually still drive it. Everything, not a single expense was spared on the vehicle, which is the coolest part about like a company like custom offsets, they got the budget to ball out on it and to make like the content. I'm sure they got a bunch of things for free. So like not a single corner was cut, which is really nice because we looked at a couple

other big SEMA trucks, big lifted trucks before we bought this one. and like you can tell like people that build it try and just maybe cheap out on certain things that they probably shouldn't where banker building it was just like fuck it yeah 140 grand i think is what he said was into this truck wow so you can tell it's it's really high quality but with that being said i just personally do not like anything about the truck for usability wise it's just sucks if you actually want to drive it and you guys must think something else or maybe I've just driven it

more than you guys but like you can't drive it in a city you can't like parallel park this thing anywhere you can barely drive it down the road without worrying about running somebody over every single time that I drove it I got tickets up the wazoo I think I had like 15 violations

just throughout like a three month span of it getting pulled over three times five violations each time I don't know I guess I'm just not that into, like, massive trucks. I think you just got the tickets and then you just didn't like it. It definitely tainted my thoughts on it. I, for me, it's just like, it's kind of what you're driving.

It's almost like driving our RAM. Our RAM is inconvenient to drive comparatively to your Raptors. Like those, the Raptor, you whip right in any parking spot, stuff like that. You go drive around me, be like, holy shit, this thing's huge. I have to do five point turns. Like diesel trucks are difficult to drive. and I just understand that one as to be a more difficult truck to drive. You know you're not getting the close spot at Walmart.

You're going to have to park at the end where nobody is on either side of you because the tires take up the whole parking spot. You know, like it's just kind of part of it. And I think that it doesn't suck driving. So that's what makes up for it. It is completely part of it. And I realize that. It's just not really worth it.

For you, yeah. Yeah. And we don't even use it. it really anymore. I would take it to town. I'd be like, yeah, I'm going to take the Seema truck to town. I'm going to go run errands in it. But I'm so nervous about getting pulled over. Like I, it's not worth it to me to get a $500 set of tickets just for driving that instead of one of our other legal trucks. That's kind of where it's at. It is a work of art, but sometimes works of art need to just stay on the wall. I don't know. I just, I really don't think we should

actually hang it on the wall. I know you were talking about that, but. we hang it on the wall just like the shifter cart hang it by one hook I would actually probably do that if you guys gave me the okay with now this truck is going to go to the grave like most of the other vehicles in our possession

we're like all right let's destroy it or do something like that I would actually be okay with the company taking the hit for all the money into it if that was where the truck was gonna end up on the wall no hot take but like we just run that thing into the ground. How? How, though? I don't know. Just like doing reckless shit with it. I don't mean,

I don't think I can do it. Unfortunately, it's just like, uh, Whistling Diesel, he wrecked that platinum. You can't wreck a truck now without being. No. And I don't think we, I don't think we should ever should because obviously he's done that. But, uh, like, you're just, you'd have a good time. I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have any, any remorse doing it to that vehicle is what I'm saying. Got it. Eight, five years ago, you could get a Lambo driving the snow title Lambo driving in the snow 5 million views blows up you do that now people like even people

that watch your videos wouldn't click on because they're like great another guy driving a lamb was all been done before and that's what he's now done to destruction of destruction senseless destruction but there's obviously always the reason I think with that being said though we have been throwing around the

after I just got done shit talking it it's a great truck you want to buy it we are going to sell I mean you were outnumbered as far as people that like it. As long as you don't have a lot of state troopers in your area, you'll be fine. Or if you're not in Minnesota, you're literally golden. Yeah. For a limited time at McDonald's,

enjoy the tasty breakfast trio. Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. I think that Ben would like the truck a ton if he just

didn't get pulled over the two or three times in it. If you would have never gotten pulled over, you would love it. Yeah, I agree. You just, like, are, like, terrified or getting pulled over. Well, bro, you know how many equipment violations that I have on my record because of that truck? Fifteen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I actually already told you. Like, as far as, like, you won't even tint your Raptors. Because you took your exhaust off your Corvette. You just start, like, scared. You didn't put an exhaust on the WRX because of it. And I understand, like, you seem to keep getting pulled over, but like I don't know it just seems to me like you would have really liked the truck if you would have just never gotten pulled over in it you would never say a bad thing about you'd be like this truck is awesome maybe probably not though because you change as soon as you got pulled over this thing's still super like inconvenient yeah no 100% I'm just saying that's where most of your disdain for it is because of the getting pulled over and I think that you are out of everyone you're the most scared by 10 times of getting pulled over yeah I don't like being pulled over well yeah I know but

But, like, you're, like, scared of it. I don't know. Yeah, I definitely just have a terrible record, and I just don't want it to keep getting worse. As long as you don't got nothing in the car you shouldn't have, which I don't know why you ever would. It just give you the ticket and you fucking move on. You do kind of get a little tweaked out about getting pulled over.

Yeah, he's really scared of getting tickets. I just get so many of them. I'm just sick of them. I mean, understandable, but it's just a ticket. I guess just... It's not a problem for you that. They're not going to take you to jail as long as you're not doing anything you shouldn't do.

be doing well that was with my corvette i was they said next time i get pulled over they're gonna impound my car for his exhaust for exhaust yeah in the state of minnesota i guess that's what i mean i feel i didn't i feel like you're just like going to get impounded for the headlights or something i think it's i think it's more along the lines of me i think i'm the problem in their eyes you drive the slowest out of all of us that's what i mean you i don't you're dry you're always getting pulled over doing legal things but it's for some weird thing like getting pulled over for not turning off your high beams early enough in your Lambo and then all of a sudden you're going to get this thing towed yeah then it's then it's like oh i got to disconnect

every aftermarket thing and i'm going to untint the windows that are this big in the front and like there's certain things that just aren't worth like the fight and the headache no i i agree like if i kept getting you know whatever like that that you know you got to change it if they're going to keep writing your tickets for it but like you just are like scared it seems like any little thing that I push the boundaries on, then I immediately get, like, in trouble for. And then they threaten to tow my, my car. And I'm like, well, fuck, I don't give a shit if my window tin is 5% more or less. Or zero or 100% less, because you didn't have any. I guess, Ben, you are the only one to get threatened. Yeah, it's true. I guess I haven't been

threatened. On getting tickets, though, I remember getting a lot of them when I was, younger and it was literally like you know they were $200 tickets and I was like if I get any more of these like this is my whole week's paycheck is gone now to this ticket and like this really sucks and that's where when I took all my tint off where I sold the car with the tin I was like I can't I can literally not afford to spend my entire week's pay on a ticket because of window tin you know like there is points like that where it's really bullshit and I think it's messed up if I got pulled over going over a hundred which i don't go over a hundred but if i was going over a hundred i'd be fucking scared yeah because i'd be like i did something wrong here whatever but like if i'm just cruising

and they whip around get me for window 10 i'm not scared i'm just like all right well here we go again pay the ticket get on all right i got i got a i got a story okay okay so speaking of scams ryan kind of started this podcast that was scams i will make this brief because it's kind of a long-winded story but I ordered if you guys know what a suron is it's like an e-bike it's a dirt bike that kind of big wave coming through of serons and like hilarious so I didn't want to buy a suron from like a dealer they're like 4,500 bucks you know they get them shipped over from china but probably a bunch of them and I didn't want to spend that much so I was like I'll just go on alibaba which I'm somewhat familiar with and I there's a whole bunch of vendors and I picked one and I was like I just want to buy

one and then if the one is good comes to my door and it checks out and it's real then i'll buy like five or six more for the whole crew so they're advertising them as real serons not an alibaba version of a seron like not a knockoff they're advertising as real yep and i made that very clear in the in the messages i was like i just making sure this is real i want to be real because i've heard of people getting not real ones and nobody wants to pay half price for a not real one yeah so i got it going and I like tried to have all my checks and just made sure it was real made sure the battery was authentic Panasonic and then wire they said two grand for the bike 500 for shipping shipping is 10 days oh man 10 days that's awesome perfect wire them the money they ship it okay cool

and then after about a month I'm like hey and they're like you got to check with a shipping company it's in customs in Mexico Mexico now so went from like it went from China to Mexico I'm like, why didn't it just go to a port in the United States? So you don't want your stuff to be in customs in Mexico because they can do whatever they want. And so that's kind of where it started. I was like, well, why is this not shipping? And they're like, you need to pay customs.

Okay, that makes sense. So I hit them up and they're like, yeah, here's, and it's like fee, fee, fee, charge, charge, charge to $9.90 bucks to clear it from customs. 99. Oh, she shit, man. I just paid 500 bucks to ship this thing on top of the two grand. So I'm already $3,500 in if I decide to pay this. I'm just still trying to feel this out.

Okay, you can cash app or Venmo. So now they're taking you out of like a legit form of. No, I could have still wired it if I wanted. But even so it's not through Alibaba or anything like that. No, this is to the shipping company now. And so I still toyed with the idea for a while and messages the vendor back and forth. I'm just like, I think if I just pay this customs charge, they'll send it. And then I paid this Venmo to just like a,

random dude and yeah and then uh okay then they were like sweet send the receipt i did and then they were like cool now do you want to pay the customs charge for the other 10 and i'm like what and they're like yeah 9,900 for the other 10 for the other 10 there's 11 total in the shipment and i'm like what i ordered one i ordered one can you just ship it no this shipment has 11 so if you want to pay customs for the rest then we'll ship it but when they say do you want to and could you just be like no i just want my one bike then that's what i said and then they were like okay well the shipment's 11 so so you have to be back and forth of them on that and then i'm like why the why is there 11 serons i wanted one so i go to the vendor and i'm just like hey

why is there 11 and they're like oh well we normally don't just ship one we normally like i could read the messages but essentially what they said we don't normally just ship one we usually ship 11. What? To who though? That's what I'm like, because you did they ship the 11 to? Yeah, they're like,

we usually only do bulk shipment. You sure you're not getting hustled? No, I'm not sure at all. That's just the whole point of this. All right. So if you pay the shipping then for the other 10, do you get them for free? Probably not.

Are they shipping 11 to you then? Or are you just, are you just releasing? Right. the one and then they're like sweet thanks for paying for all of them you lost me at venmoing for the customs that shit ain't coming yeah yeah yeah that's where i usually i don't know if that's a normal no you're in normal ken like when you're venmoing for customs yeah that shit ain't coming that's what i mean they gave me like their wire information but i didn't want to call my bank and start a whole wire and since it was under a thousand dollars i just did it on venmo but yes was the wire can you venmo like was it the shipping company or was it like i've i've made cost or customs payment for us when we have stuff come across and it will be like two united states customs like it it's a payment to them yeah it's not even going not that okay so it's it's a payment to joe schmo yeah pretty much so you venmoed pedro in mexico and

and nothing's happening okay so you you wire you vendmode the mob basically yeah and that's so that is where i lose most people with it because that is where i fucked up however then that's why it got juicier. So it could just be like, yeah, I got scammed. I literally, like, so stupid. Like, I'm not getting my bike. But then they interject this 11. And so I asked the shipping company to send me a picture of it.

And they're like, normally we don't send pictures of our shipment. But they sent me some grainy ass picture of a bunch of surround boxes. That's it. That's all I got. I asked for more. That's all I got. So I'm like, okay, if I release this, will they all be shipped to my house? And they're like, yeah, it's like, this is your shipment.

Okay. And then I was like, well, if these end up at my house, or at the shop, they're mine. But I still can't take a risk on. They came up with like $7,500 to release it all. I'm not going to take that risk. However, then the vendor says, pay the customs charges.

The bikes will get to you. And then we'll negotiate a price, a discounted price for the bikes. And I'm like, what do you mean? I'd be like, yeah, the negotiation is now they are mine.

Yeah, no kidding. That'd be us, that'd be like us sending somebody five shirts and then as soon as they get them, being like, pay for the other four then yeah pretty much and whack exactly like that and then they'd be like well i just ordered the one and then we're like well you probably order more later though so you paid for the shipping on all of them that makes like no sense so i don't know anything i am i don't

are you paying for this with your own money or a company money you take a guess company money no thank god you guess wrong my question really from the start is how are you buying a knockoff seron but it's not knockoff version it's it that's what i don't understand it's like it's not a knockoff yeah how do these branders no no it's branded no right right you're saying it's like saying siron on the box and all that yeah so basically serons are made in china isn't saran a like a company though yeah it's a chinese company oh it's a chinese company yeah like a chinese made but still it doesn't seem to me that like they would have a ton of extras laying around where you could just buy one from a different company that was not Suron.

I see, I don't think there's just a Suron factory in China. That's where I'm kind of getting at. I think what's going on is it's just like everything else with like Chinese products or most people's merch or like we could even use a tripod, for example. They all get made in the same place. And then you might be the company that initially like this is our thing, but they're making them in China. and then the like vendor and those factories in China are not loyal to anybody like like let's say

you wanted to make your own ethica style underwear that yeah so we tried making our own ethical style underwear one time and we talked to these people on alibaba whatever and uh they had pictures of ethica and we sent you know to get a sample and they literally sent us ethical underwear so you and they could get template and then they're like don't tell that we're that these are Ethicas. And more than one company would say, we make Ethica underwear. Our beer bongs,

same exact as full sense. Like, most of the stuff is made in China and it's all come from the same place or like it's just a different name on it, especially with like shirts too. Obviously you can get some really shitty shirts, but like for the most part,

like I'll be in shields and I'll see the same exact garment that we're printing our stuff on. Yeah, what you get from a whole set. Which means that we're using some good, good shit. but oftentimes I feel like everything's the same. Like you see people wearing that exact hat, just a different thing on it. So what are you going to do?

At this point, kind of just in limbo, I can't dump any more money into it. I don't think that'd be smart. I think we could all agree on that. How much is a fendmowing? I'm going to keep fendmoing. They'll send them. So how much is a seron if you were to buy it? Like when we were in Washington, that dealership, that they ordered a crate of them from China.

I'd maybe have to talk to them more about how that is. But they were selling them, I think they said they'd sell them to us for $4,000. So at this point, I'm only $500 off from that. So that's another thing. Can you get a refund? No, I'm sure I can't get a refund. Can you imagine though, Mike gets this and he's like, holy shit, these are like legit. And then all of a sudden he just becomes a surround dealer.

And that's what would happen. If the one got to me and it was legit, I would take the other 10 and we all be happy. It was an opportunity for sure, yeah, because then you could start selling them for, you know, $1,000 more or whatever the hell it is. Yeah. The missing variable in all this is that I don't know if they're legit. Also, but then there is still that I don't know if they'd even come to my door if I paid that charge. But if they weren't legit and I had 11 of them, I'd be like, this is so stupid.

I really wouldn't be surprised though if it shows up and it's just a seron that doesn't have seron branded on it. But yeah, so we'll see. I'm just going to keep pushing to get the one. Lots of people have been asking us to ride them on the channel. And so if this all blows over and just turns to nothing, then I guess we'll just have to buy some at full price. God, I don't know if I'd ever be able to ride it. Let me see the fucking electric bikes and me don't go together.

No, that would not be good. I'd fucking loop for that thing so quick. Mike, let me see the Venmo. I want to see what that. It's pretty funny. Yeah, so your transactions, the first transaction was that made through Alibaba. That was a wire transfer. Have all the receipts, but if it's not through Alibaba,

if the invoice is not paid through Alibaba, which they usually try not to do it's not protected yeah that's why like people always try to get me into WhatsApp and all this other stuff but then you're not protected so there is a slight little bit of protection doing it through the app oh my gosh his name's Jason Lawrence and it's just a big Mexican dude in a tuxedo no this he's wearing a tuxedo he's got class and I love that picture looks like he's like okay Jason wait Mike why did you Venmo him and say Who the hell is Jason Lawrence? That was my memo.

I just said, who the hell is Jason Lawrence? All right. So Jason Lawrence, who received the Venmo for $990 from Micah. Here are his last Venmo transactions. Cindy Lawrence paid him for breakfast. I haven't even...

On October 9th. Okay. Cindy Lawrence paid him for prescription meds on September 30th. Cindy Lawrence also paid him September 28th for groceries. You ain't getting that money back. Car tags, new kitty supplies, pet supplies and food, dinner, Disney chores, chores, chores. I'm sure he, I'm sure his Venmo is hooked up with customs, though. Yeah, he fucking asked Siri and goes, what do people do on Venmo?

Dude, I think. Yeah, no, I'm definitely not getting the money back, but like, I guess at the end of the day, it's still up to the shipping company because they took. There is no shipping company. It's Jason Lawrence, who is a fucking idiot. You got scammed. Hold up, Mike. Who did you pay the original?

$2,000 to. To hearsale. That ink, which is the vendor of the Suron. Okay. HereSale. dot ink. They all have weird names, so that's fine. Yeah, we should get coffee Zilla involved in this one.

Have we ever had any of our shipments be held in customs in Mexico? No, they always go direct to the U.S. Right. That's what I thought. And when you get the message, it's like it is stamped. Like U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. Like, it's a legit document. that you fill in all the stuff from the company there,

your company here, like it's a pretty legit transaction. My concern, I mean, I feel bad that you lost the $900 bucks to Jason Lawrence, but I hope that you can get the $2,500 that you paid to hearsayle ink back. I hope there's enough,

you know, data there that you're able to retract that wire. Yeah, at this point, that would be great. Because, I mean, otherwise,

that's a $3,500 thing. That's a suron. So, Mike, what did Jason Lawrence say to convince you to just Venmo him $1,000? I have actually never spoken with Jason Lawrence. What was the transaction, or what was like the communication between you and somebody that was like, yes, you just Venmo with Jason Lawrence, 990 bucks, and he will hand-deliver it. It was basically me just asking if I can pay through Venmo because they said cash app. I'm like, well, I don't use, no one uses cash app. Dude, you know they were sitting in some little.

They were sitting somewhere and they'd go, this guy's dumber than we thought. And they high fived. Yes. Quick, go make a Venmo. I'll be Cindy. You'll be, uh, whatever, the other guy. I don't think it matters whether it's real Venmo or not. That's what I mean.

It is. So I did just look. It is impossible to cancel or retract a wire fund once the funds have left your account. Oh, yeah. I was like, I already knew that. Like, that's pretty cut and dry information. Well, Mike, if it makes you feel any better, I lost $2,500 in Vegas, and you lost just a little bit more than that on a saron.

Yeah. So life kicks you in the nuts sometimes. Next time you should just drive down Main Street DL and start throwing $100 bills out the window. I feel like, yeah, at least go to some good possibly. The down the drain. Yeah, I mean, honestly, yeah, you could literally light those dollar bills. on fire and at least you would get a little bit of heat out of it, you know?

Yeah, that's true. But there's no, uh, I mean, come on, guys. This is still a little bit of a gamble here. Mike, I'm really rooting for you, honestly. I am, I am too for sure. It's going to be a great story if they do show up. One day, if we show up to the shop and there is 11 boxes out front and Mike is just sitting there laughing, dude, he's going to be cashing in on all his serons.

Hand up. If that happens, I'm an idiot. Yeah. Micah was right. But as of writing. Now, it is not looking so hot for you right now. And I feel bad. I'm trying to make an interesting conversation for the podcast, but I feel bad,

but I feel like there was some red flags. Yeah, yeah, that's, I was proceeding too quickly. And Mike, you're just doing the work of the people, bro. Getting scammed. Mike, what's that thing around your neck here? Dude, I put the necklace on for the pod. That's pretty ball. Lightning Bolt.

Also one of my favorite things. If you guys haven't noticed, I put lightning bolts. So I'm like a third of my designs. Okay. I do like the lightning bowl. I feel like it fits the brand. But when I look at you and just being that I know you, I can't say I would pick your emblem to be a lightning bolt.

Speed. It kind of looks like you're a running back. Strikes quick, strikes fast. That's such a running back. That's like a running back. I mean, it kind of looks like a Chargers. Yeah, Chargers logo. But when I saw you running out, I was like,

it looks like you're like a D3 off brand. running back. What is it? I feel like I would pick your logo to be a moon. A moon. Yeah. You know.

Is it diamonds? Oh, at night. What's on it? Let me see this. Up all night. Up on my bike. Yeah.

I mean, they're not real, but. You got backwards, CJ. Where'd you get it? They're not real. GLD. It was like 150 bucks.

Yeah. You know, the G, like the one that everyone gets Instagram ads for. It's pretty cool. I have always wondered what the, like,

the quality of, of, it seems fine. are not anything like the quality is there but like nothing's real yeah you know you know how CJ's got his little ATM side business my new side business is going to be making alibaba shipping sites and just advertising just things that Micah wants and then maybe ryan Jason Lawrence and there there's just like a steady decrease in like my cash flow and a majorly steady increase in Ryan's I start driving Lambo I start driving Ranger the problem with

those like the shop glde i think it's cool i like it but like it's very to me at least i can tell it's like fake just from looking you know and like i've been in like bars you'll always know it's fake right but like i've also like been in bars and stuff and and uh some of you like i've just seen people and i can tell when they're wearing the shop gldd chain and i think for some things it's fine it does its purpose like almost that chain without the lighting bolt is just fine to be a fake chain you don't need to go to tiffany and co and spend $15,000 on that chain get the, get the $80 chain, totally fine. But sometimes when you get bigger jewelry,

if you're trying to make it look like a flex, then I feel like, that's what I'm saying. Absolutely. I don't have a, do an accent piece, just fine. But if you're like trying to be really styled out. I don't think there's anything wrong with having fake jewelry. I'm just saying it's like obviously fake, at least to me.

So like if you were somebody who's like, I'm going to go to shop GLD, wear this chain around and try to like flex on people, it ain't going to work in my opinion. There goes that sponsor. me and cj went into a jewelry store just to see what they had and uh cj puts on one of these cuban-linked necklaces yeah kind of looked like a bulldog in it it was like a smaller one it was pretty cool and he goes how much is this i was that one's 55 500 no 55000 yeah and me and cjj

look at each other and he's like i'm gonna just take this off i don't know what he was thinking letting me just try it on that easily did we look like we look like we look like a couple of idiot goons walking in there. I legit thought it was 10K max. I was not expecting it to be $55. I figured it was going to be expensive, but not $55. I think that was not worth $55. And it was pretty small, too.

It wasn't even one though. So that's what really gets me thinking. Ever since that moment, whenever I see like Jake Paul or rappers or whoever with these big diamond chains, assuming that they are real, how much they've got to have a hundred racks in those things. It's not more. How about Justin Jefferson since we got him up there?

Yeah, like those chains he's wearing him during the game. Yeah, that's such a flex. And so I'm pretty sure his teeth are. Yeah, his grills are like 200 grand. Whoa. And he plays with them in. So what's up with that?

Because like if they have grills in, that counts as a mouthpiece too. Does it actually? No, I think he still wears a mouth guard over that. I know somebody asked, they're like, why would he play in that?

And I was like, this is his TV moment. Like this is when he's on TV smart. This is when he should be wearing it. Yeah. I think he's cooler because of it. It works because Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the NFL. And it's pretty cool that he's wearing grills and chains.

And, like, I don't know, he's got this look to him, right? But it wouldn't be that cool. Yeah, but it wouldn't be that cool if he wasn't making catches and making plays the way that he is. There is a lot of guys that wear chains, though, and grills. I remember Marshawn Lynch played with grilling. But also was really good. Yeah. $200,000 for his grills.

He wears like three chains too Yeah yeah he's Wow I feel like if you got hit And like or you Things rubbing wouldn't diamonds fall out of that I'm sure that that thing's got to be built well Diamonds are tough dude

They're like one of the toughest That's true You know But they're only as tough is how well they're held in there That's true I'm assuming they're well made When did the NFL pass that you could wear jewelry I don't know I think it was rather recent

Five years ago Because I remember O'Dell Beckham Jr. was wearing a Richard Millie watch for a game and he got fined like $50,000 for wearing a watch. Just like a watch. $250,000 watch. All right, Ryan, I know

this is going to trigger you. Oh, great. Okay. So here we come. Here comes the title. His intro. Dude, I don't think it's out of the question. The Vikes win the Super Bowl. Bro, they're the luckiest team in the NFL. They've won eight games this season

by coming back and winning on the last drive of the game. They're the most entertaining team for all of us. You're telling me that a Super Bowl is out of the question. It's like a movie, dude. Go ahead, Ryan. Sorry.

Say it. Say it. Dream Buster. Say it. Rood my hopes and dreams, bro. I like the Vikings. Now you're saying. Just one time we beat a team.

We beat a team like three weeks ago and you're like, oh, yeah, they suck. And I was like, no, actually, they had a lot of hurt players and we barely beat them. It's going to be interesting to see how they play in the play. Now you're just, now you're just lying. Well, okay, what did I say? I don't. I hate the Vikings. Justin Jefferson sucks.

Kirk Cousins can kiss my ass. And I hope Adam Thielen falls down the stairs. I never said any of those things. And actually, I first, before any of you guys got into it, said on this very podcast, I said, Vikings here, Super Bowl, bound. Let's go, baby, school bikes. I don't remember that. Yep, I did.

I can pull it up. It's in one of the other ones. I've got in my group chat, I text it every time they want. I've got receipts. Dude, straight up, though, like, the Vikes have just been basically disappointing us since we were born, right? I think, yeah, since they were infected. They've been disappointed in Minnesota. What they've managed to do this season.

It's been a hell of a turnaround. And, like, I just, I trust them all of a sudden. Really? I'm like, dude, they're going to clinch this because they continue to do it. It's like a movie every time. Like, like, imagine. the end of the movie, that's how they do every, it's just like a different way

for the movie to end in this fantastic win. Bro, it's such a fairy tale story. Exactly, every time. The Super Bowl isn't out of the question, bro. If anyone's going to do it, it's going to be the Vikes, bro. I love your enthusiasm. It's not going to happen.

If the Vikes win the Super Bowl, I will cry. If the Vikes win a Super Bowl? I don't cry much, but I will actually cry. Mike will buy two Rolexes, one for each wrist. Hey, if the Vikes, if the Vikes win the Super Bowl, or go to the Super Bowl, though, we got to go. Yeah. Yeah. Well, where is it again?

I don't think we'll be able to get there, dude. They already sold tickets, I believe. Let's just figure it out, bro. We'll tell them we're influencers. Oh, great, yeah. Influencers, guys. Let's get them in here. We got influencers.

We're like, I think they're going to film the game. I hate to crush hopes and dreams, but I inquired about Super Bowl tickets. It's in Phoenix. Yeah. And the cheapest seats, the highest nosebleed you can get, is $10,000 a ticket. That's what I'm saying. And it's thousands of night for a hotel. Let's just up Ryan's podcast brand deals.

I'm just saying if it does happen, we've got to figure out a way to go. I agree. And I'm with you. And I'm positive on the Vikings. I love them. But this is not uncharted territory. We have been here before. I'm just being realistic.

Here it goes. Here goes. No. But. Don't let me get in your way, right? What I do want to say is, and I've... He's way smarter than you. It's so hard.

You're too stupid to talk to. No. That's what he's trying to tell you. No. The new coach is really, really damn good. And if there's anything about the Vikings season team, the whole thing, obviously Kirk and Justin Jefferson are really good, but they've been there before.

The new coach, it is amazing how much he has turned that program around. And every week when they win, which has been a lot lately, they post the video of his locker room speech. And you can tell that the players respect him. He loves and respects the players. And like his energy and drive for that team has completely turned it around. And that's the most extraordinary thing I think about it. Whether they win because they got lucky or because they played well or whatever,

that coach is amazing. I think the biggest thing, the reason that they can just continue to get these dubs is like the whole team seems to just like just continue to stay positive. Yep. And like that sounds so cliche to say. But when they do like the mic'd up Adam Thielen or like mic'd up any of the athletes, like when they were down zero to 33 at halftime, they're still just like, hey, we're going to turn it around.

We're going to turn around. If anyone's going to do it, it's going to be us. And like you just continue to see like those little bits. It's like, damn. That's pretty cool. Yeah. They have like a certain chemistry that is clearly special and makes them able to pull these things off. They're playing like they don't know what quarter it is. Like, that's what it always

seems like. That can mean sucking and doing good too, but I don't know, man. I just think attitudes, everything with like literally with everything you do in life. It all just comes down to your attitude. Yeah. And that team has shown it because God damn, has it been a season. I think it's been harder that they're winning because before you used to go, ah, the Vikings and then you turned off the game. But now until the last minute of the game or in overtime, you're there on the edge of your seat like hoping they win it's like it's very uh enthralling yeah yeah dude it's straight up every game they play is like a movie yeah every game most entertaining team in the league they got to be bro everyone's got to just be excited to watch the vikes at this

point because like who knows what they're going to do it is funny because every announcer every week they've had their doubts about the team and all that and after last week too they were just like i don't know what to say there's nothing more we can say about them they've continued to prove themselves and they continue to win. Running on hopes and dreams, baby. Yeah, dude. God damn. We could plug the year and recap since that's universal.

It would have been two weeks. Maybe just mentioned, three weeks prior posting. Maybe just mentioned, just say, like we're taking a week. January 10th. Oh, this one isn't going for a while. Oh, fuck. I hope the Vikings are still good at this point. Yeah.

Oh, shit. I didn't even think of that. Okay, all right. What's the date? All right. All right, December 27th is when we're filming this right now. So if the Vikings have managed to mess everything up And I look like a total idiot right now

They lose first round at the playoffs Yeah, damn it's No, I think they're gonna keep doing good And I'm excited for it And when you guys are watching this It'll seem real time We ended up taking some time off To go off to Florida, which was really fun
