Mike, what the hell's going on with your face? Well, there was a little hiatus with the Jake podcast. Hope you guys enjoyed that.

I shaved my face, as I said I would. Didn't do it to the grain or whatever. This is crazy. I hate it. I haven't seen your face, and I don't know how long. I'm not going to lie, Mike. I don't think I like it either. Mike, this is what I'm saying.

Oh, your neck and your chin almost look like the same thing. Well, just wait until I do this. Everybody get a good look at this because I'll, well, you'll probably see me good on a podcast. No, get a good look at this. Oh, man. Yeah, it's straight. You know what's crazy is I didn't think that you even like put on any weight. I didn't.

I've always had this. I'm a relatively skinny. fella. It's weird because as soon as we started talking to one of the podcasts, started getting the ads for the jaws or sizer and started getting tic-toks about you like suck on your tongue and then it brings this up. Really? And then everyone's like, that's what all the models do on the red carpet and stuff.

So you can work out your face? I thought they just did neat. Yeah. Yeah. And I just like, I guess I knew that, but yeah, you could work out your face and get rid of it. Wow. Suck on your tongue to the roof of your mouth and it brings this up and then it makes you look like.

So for pictures, it makes sense, honestly, but doing it all the time. It doesn't seem to help me when I suck my tongue. Like, it doesn't lift it up. Well, I think there is. So there's so much sucking you can do. Like, at the end of the day, you might just be fat. Oh. Oh.

I'm not saying you. But just in general. I'm just saying in general. I don't know. It's something I deal with every day, too, C.J. Exactly. I'm like, I don't know. I think you might have been better off going just full clean.

I don't know if like this like three o'clock shadow is really the move. Yeah. I don't know what Mike looks like. You know who he looks like here. The consensus is exactly how I expected. I mean, I look weird. Has Sidney seen it yet? No.

You think she's going to like it? No. I don't think anyone's going to like it. I don't think. You know what's nice though, Mike? Is you can grow out your facial hair. And then you just don't have to deal with this. I cannot.

And it's something that I just have to deal with for the rest of them, well, for the foreseeable future. I don't know. Like, do people just all of a sudden start growing facial hair? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. heard of like you can like derm roll it dude i tried that shit yeah really but i also gave up on it i don't stick i didn't see immediate results so i was like fuck this thing it didn't grow in the next morning i think you you i just can't imagine you with oh so that's kind of what i'm getting at it's mostly i'd say for me it's let's say it's half the surprise it's like you see it and

half the reaction is like the surprise then you're like no it doesn't look good now picture ben walking in with a beard just like ryan's or mine one i don't i don't I think you'd look good. I don't think it'd be on the bad side of the spectrum, but half of it would be like, whoa! It's not like it would just come in overnight like I would like. But let's just say it did. Yeah, I see what you're saying.

We'd be like, whoa. There's got to be some filter. Yeah, true. Let's see what I look like with a beard. Yeah, we'll pop that. I think you'd just look older. I think you'd look older. But you know, like, it's like when your favorite actor or whatever,

he's never had a beard. And then in like some show or movie, he has a beard. You're kind of just like, whoa he looks so different yeah so same vibe but just like uh i won't be looking for any compliments you kind of look like the i'm gonna start wearing a mask again you kind of look like a caterpillar i was thinking you know the little pink mole rat in uh kim possible yeah yeah well i'll take caterpillar at least he'll turn into a beautiful butterfly in about two weeks yeah how long you think it's going to take not long

Like a week? Yeah, yeah, I mean like a week to be back to normal. Oh, that's not bad at all then. There's got to be some kind of remedy to, like, help it for the people out there maybe that have done something, right? I think fish oils maybe help, like, with your hair growth. Yeah, how's that going for you, C.J? No, I mean, I'm saying like it helps it grow faster.

But then again, I don't know if it would, like, make your hair grow if you don't have any. Wait, how funny would that be if, like, you start taking pills or treatments or fish oil for your hair and you keep losing hair but you just grow a fat beard his eyebrows come in more or you just get nasty back hair or something like that Ryan you were supposed to shave your beard

and so was Ken Ken both you too I would love to see those two Ken shave it do it on the podcast right now you guys said you would this kind of fucked up we don't have any manscapes here I'll go yeah we do

I'm pretty sure we have one right here no those are all those are trimers I have two in my office we got to hit Ken with the I have two in my office we got to hit Ken brand new Norelko.

Get that close, close. Those are all nose trimmers. That's fine. We can use that. No, Ken, we have one and I have two brand new ones for both you. No, we don't. Yeah, I want to see this. No, we know right near my desk.

Well, we could string this out. No, I want to see this shit. Next podcast. I know we got a lot of good stuff for you guys today. Maybe we save it for next time, man. That's kind of what I mean. But you guys aren't off the hook. I think you got it.

Like Mike did it. Only because of all the things. Ken. Whoa. he's break it no but like he ran off like he was like you could break it as i mean we'll just get another one that's not really how a guy with a knee injury runs either yeah pretty nimble right pretty nimble lately pop up the video of him throwing the garbage trying to throw the garbage into the garbage can't do you look like a ballerina out of you man that was all the comments

too like like after posting it on instagram everyone was just like pretty nimble for a guy with a knee man we did so much fun fun stuff last week and this weekend and that was my favorite clip ken eating the garbage all over the yard yeah it was funny right behind the one of him falling on the high busa oh yeah my gosh evan literally put his life on the line to keep that thing up when he was coming out of that burnout and then ken two minutes later hops on it and just kicks it forward and falls i just can't believe you thought the kickstand was going to hold you as you were like laying across it i thought it was a lot more stable than it was yeah no in your defense i did the same i didn't drop it but like the thing's super heavy and i like

just rolled it forward enough kickstand pops up and it goes over i mean it dude it felt like picking up a whale yeah it's like the biggest freaking crotch rocket and the and to believe that thing's at 2008 it looks like it's like a 1990 i don't think they've changed anything since i think it's probably for aerodynamics because that thing can go 200 miles per hour from the factory yeah that's exactly what evan needed yeah more power yeah the fastest crudron he worries me because he worries me because because the guy, he's like, yep, when I bought it, the guy said he hit 202 or 205. Yeah, because it's slightly modified.

I'm just like, ah, dude, how could you ever? Like, and then he's like, oh, I want to have that on my resume. No. He did 170. What? I mean, allegedly did 170. I watched it. He blew past me because I was riding a Papio and like the wind

and damn near knock me over because of the wind. That's crazy. Dude, I have no desire to go that fast. Yeah, same. I don't even want to ride a motorcycle. He was like, I just don't trust. Most, mostly like, others. Other people or just like the environment around you, a deer could run out, a raccoon,

a squirrel could run out, like literally anything. If CJ hasn't driven on the road and moved the turtles off of it, you know, exactly. You hit a turtle. Well, he was saying, allegedly, when he was going that fast, he was wearing, like, just some normal, like his motorcross helmet. And he had normal goggles. And he said his goggles, glass. glasses, like the lens pushed through.

Yeah, and like the foam was like, no, like the lens fucking popped through. Oh my gosh. I guess they don't, uh, test them at that type of speed. Dude, that is, that is just stupid. So, so stupid. He didn't a very, it was like 170 back to zero. I didn't even, I knew he was going fast, but yeah, 170.

Yeah, I mean, at least on the high busa, he wears a helmet. I mean, I know we've talked about this, but like, it's getting bad, you guys. No, no. It's getting bad. He's like, he's like a resentful. kid like just trying to rebel against his parents

anytime I ask him to just wear a helmet because I'm like bro I care too much about you to not tell you to wear a helmet for like riding your dirt bike down like the road and I'm like bro just put on a helmet

you look equally as cool and he's like no I don't I look so stupid it's not cool I don't want to post a picture a video of me on the gram doing a helmet or doing a wheelie wearing a helmet everyone's a good thing I'm lame I'm like no they're not

Look at the comments of doing it without a helmet on And everyone in the comments is like, put a helmet on, put a helmet on. No, no. I'm like, bro, you're a national treasure. The last thing we need is to be sweeping you off the fucking pavement Because you thought you would look cooler without a helmet. No, the unfortunate part is not everyone in the comments is saying that. I would say about 60% are saying put on a helmet.

That's a lot of common already. And then the other comment, yeah, yeah, for sure. Majority, then the other comments are like, Evan doesn't need helmets. Helmets need him, like, all hyping him up. And I'm like, dude, this isn't a five-stair at the skate park that you're trying to kickflip. Don't wear a helmet. Look cool.

And he's basically, he's taking... See, this is the problem. It's like bad parent, cool parent here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, he's taking the skateboarding BMX skiing aspect of it. Like, you can get away. Like, BMXers wear helmets. Yeah, most do, but, uh, yeah, maybe BMX is a bad example.

But in skateboarding, it is considered lame to wear a helmet. he's taking that I think he's taking it from like the bike life of the streets like in Philly and Baltimore Florida where like you got these gangs of people riding these dirt bikes that have never touched the dirt before in its life just doing wheelies because they not

I don't they don't wear helmets either which I think maybe just because they Some of them wear the some of them wear the little Papio helmet that we have which I think those look cool yeah but anyways yeah Spencer the really good dirt biker he competes and we were watching XK games where they were skateboarding and they're doing this like 20 foot drop and everybody's

falling and all the stuff and I go why don't skateboarders wear helmets it's literally the only action sport left that people don't wear helmets people wear helmets for everything other than skateboarding right I mean like they wear it on invert but yeah I think in street skate the idea of it is like it's just like part of the culture yeah like in street skate you're just actually riding and they're trying to emulate that like you're just riding wherever you're you're going and you're doing stuff, but I agree. It is not worth it. I'm sure eventually, it probably will change, but yeah.

Yeah, I mean, and at the end of the day, we can't tell you what to do, but like, why not? Just wear a helmet. And also, helmets are cool. Yeah, I think that's the other thing, too, is like, I know how many people probably look up to Evan. And like, not say, like, and I tell them that, I'm just like, bro, I think a lot of people like look at you as, like, inspiration. and then obviously that that's a slippery slope.

Just tell Evan to wear a helmet. If you post a video of him not wearing a helmet, tell him to wear a helmet. Because the kid needs it. Good kid needs a little guidance. Have you been doing, CJ, with your concussion? I'm getting better, I'd say. You got a concussion?

I mean, I've been like dealing with symptoms, yeah, since, like, getting freaking T-boned in the golf cart. Okay, that's that. I mean, I'm getting better. I feel the best today than I've, in a long time good we haven't we haven't talked at all about i guess post that right well we we did a little bit and this is right after it happened and you were kind of like it was crazy like i landed on ken i was fine and then um you know just no ken landed on him oh yeah sorry i don't even really

know what happened it just happened really fast yeah at the time you were like thank goodness i i think i'm fine and then yeah i thought it was but yeah it just wasn't just progressively it got worse just been feeling like shit but getting better been doing the hyperbaric chamber it's levitating your ass off trying to work out and do my typical things to make it feel better or make myself feel better is the hyperbaric like the only thing that you notice helps you it's definitely i mean at this point it's been like almost two months i started like two weeks ago and i'd say it definitely like has made the most improvement which is weird because like i mean not weird but I've been trying a lot of stuff.

Right. And what it just puts more oxygen in your... Yeah, it's just more like... Like, when you get in a hyperbaric chamber, it's like this pressurized tube, and it's like really, like, you're locked in that thing, but it's, like, clear and they have a person there that they can, like, watch you and hear you. It's almost like you're in a submarine

and you're, like, going down the ocean. Obviously, the pressure gets more, but you're not actually going down. They just, like, turn up the pressure. Oh, interesting. And then there's, like, oxygen in there. So, like, your ears keep, like, you have to keep going and, like, pop in your ears and stuff.

but it's not like in a plane where you're going up because then there's less oxygen yeah so it's like going down but you're just sitting there but yeah they're pumping it in so it's like a hundred percent oxygen in there whereas like i'm pretty sure if you're walking around out and like open just you know in the world uh it's like 21 percent so you're getting more oxygen and then i'm not entirely sure what the pressure does but yeah they do like three different stops like you go like i don't know exactly how far down you can feel the pressure then you go another one and you can feel it increased and you go in that like the third one i bet the oxygen level in the shop's like terrible yeah i've been trying to like open it up because like between all the vehicles

running in here and the fumes and shit it's so bad for us to be breathing in yeah yeah my office is in like the way back actually right behind the wall behind cj and ryan right now no airflow through really you i mean your air conditioner cj's office is probably the best with the air conditioner well i have an air purifier yeah in there and in Anytime I'm in there, I'll just turn it on. But, like, that thing is constantly just working. Yeah. I was a little bit, I mean, I wasn't actually, I wasn't skeptical.

But anyway, took the, took the air filter out of my air purifier in my office. Honestly, wasn't that dirty, you know, wasn't ready to replace. Went and took the one out of Evans. Room? Yeah. And keep in mind, he's on the lower level. More dirt, more dust, more fumes. Him?

This is, this is true. Him. Dude. I might have taken. a picture of it like it was six times as dusty and dirty than mine like just i went oh this one's ready for a replacement a month ago so i was just like at least it's working how does yours work in the back office can i replace it every month really and it like when you replace it it's dirty yeah it's like black oh see that's why i'm that's why i was surprised i run mine i try to run it a lot anyway

it wasn't bad well mine mine is all just like the lint from the t-shirts oh oh back there in the merch bay okay i did check that one yeah that one gets a lot of dust on it because you fold a t-shirt you know lint just goes in the air and then collects onto that thing and it's like once a month i have to swap it out no it kid the dust bunnies back there are crazy i mean think when you have a new shirt and you just lint roll a brand new shirt you know you pull off like a full sticky sheet of that and that that's just dust bunnies everywhere and i'd do thousands of them ken started naming them i'm pretty sure you got fred george hose no women Joseita

I crack up Every time we have a merch drop We'll have people come in And help hold And ship everything out I swear every single time I walk back there There's someone new

And half the time I don't recognize Like any of them And it's just silent And Ken's just Oh man Yeah I mean like I walk

I walk in I walk past Just yeah Just the other day, dude, I've never, ever seen in my life. And then he goes, hey, Micah. I go, what's up, buddy? Where are you finding these people? I thought you knew that guy.

No, not that. It was a different guy. And then I, yeah, I brought in a buddy that no one else had ever met. And everyone's like, you know him, right? Oh, you know him? But they're good help. They're good help. It's great.

Otherwise, you'd be drowning in there. Yeah. But yeah, we get some good help. We just maybe don't all know them. So you fellas feeling smart? not usually I am never why do you ask I feel sometimes I feel like a smart ass but I never you're always a smart yeah exactly well Ken could you please bring in the laptops I have a test for us today oh no thank you holy you just Ken just walks up with holy crap 16 grand worth of

laptops is yours on the top I believe it's got a dent in it that's my okay Mike here you go Benny Nice All right I will send you guys a link to the MENSA IQ test Today we're going to be taking an IQ test To figure out which one of us

Has the highest IQ Oh my gosh I love this I love this Should we What are the what it's like the cut You know they do like the YouTube videos like Rank people who you think is the smartest To dumbest and then you take the test

And then you re-rank them after the test Oh my God We should have everyone comment down below who they think is going to be the smartest to the dumbest. Yeah, Ken's doing it too. So all five of us? Yeah. Who do you guys think? It's tough to like rank one through five, but who do you think is going to be the smartest and who you think is going to be the worst?

I think C.J. is going to think that he's going to be the smartest. I don't think that at all right now. But I think Ryan's going to be the smartest. It's cold. And I think Mike's going to be the worst. Or me. Or me. So keep in mind.

I think Ken is. is going to be the smartest that's what i was thinking too yeah i got faith in ken when it comes to standardized testing i think ken will be the best hmm you know i then i think ryan i think ken is almost too smart for his own good it almost kind of sets them back a little bit can't apply it god all right dude let's let's do it gosh i have such a terrible feeling about this and the world's gonna know how smart i am how smart you are how dumb you are well yeah how little smart are you Ben, he's, he's just little smart. Alright, start test.

Dude, this is literally hurting my brain. Dude, I want to throw up right now. Do it. It'll make you feel better. Okay. I might have just fucked up. Well, I had to guess on the last three. I got my results.

I don't know if it's, yeah. I mean. Alrighty. Let's, I probably got the worst. How should we review? How do we do it? I'm not very I'm not trying to reveal.

Can we cut this bit? Ryan must. Can you imagine? You're joking, right? I guarantee I did worse. All right, I'll go first. All right, all right. Which I'm probably the worst.

I got 102. Okay. Okay. I got 102. Yeah, it was, Hey, I'm trying not to react right now. I know because I don't want to get mine away, but you react. 97?

I got 97. It was a hundred. high-stress environment. I guessed on a bunch, which probably penalized mine. I would have been better off. I probably had like a 110. What did you get Mike?

I got a 110. Whoa. No way. Show me it. Let me see that. There ain't no way. Hold on. Let me see it.

Ken, what'd you get? Let me see it. I got a hundred. I got it up. Can I got what? Hey, hey, hey, hey.

No way. Hey, I got a 102. Three. Wait, you guys got the worst score? Ryan got the worst score. No way. You're the only two with actual college degree. Mike got a 110?

You guys are so lucky that I don't talk shit. Wow. Wow. You know, like, I just, I'm not a rub it in your face type of fellow. Dude, Mike got a 110? Holy shit, dude. My parents pay for private school, dude. They got to be fucking kicking themselves.

right now. I thought I'd do so bad. I'm honestly shocked. I am shocked by these results. I have this whole thing planned to be like, yeah, well, just because your IQ is lower, doesn't mean you don't have creative smarts

and stuff like that. Completely blew it out of the water. Okay, so this is just at a first Google search, I go, what is an average IQ? In general, an IQ is defined with a medium, okay, of a hundred. Scores above one, average. Scores above 1.30 are labeled as above average or very superior, while scores under 70 be considered below average or labeled as borderline impaired.

Most people have an average IQ between 85 and 115. So like, you know, you're all right. Mine said, I'm in the 55 percentile, so I'm just, I'm too smarter than average, which I'm stoked about. I guess I'm used to just being slightly below. average, dude. I'm just painfully average. Ken, what the frick, man? I don't think we could have had literally the vice versa.

Flipped around. What was yours again, Ken? A hundred. You had a hundred? Yeah. Right on the nuts. That is exactly average, 50th percentile. Dude, I literally said Ryan's the smartest and Mike's the dumbest.

No offense, Mike. I think Mike did good because it's all shapes and all he does his design. What's that have to do with it? You're just, I don't know, there's a shapes. Honestly, I, for the record, I don't want to take another IQ test, but there are other IQ tests that have nothing to do with shapes. There might be a few, but this one, like I said, is easy to do and not be able to cheat on. But there's a ton where they're, like, legit, like, you know, word questions, whatever

you call those in math. Dude, my body was, like, literally shaking. I was so anxious looking at the shapes. I felt so stupid. It's interesting that we got the same because we did the same on the ACT, like all that shit. We're very similar.

That's got to make you feel pretty bad. Yeah, what you guys? He's going to do the old showers there at the wall and just question his entire entire system. We're the same intelligence level. I did not like the AC. What do you guys get on the ACT? Like I didn't do super well.

I think 22 or 23. I think I got a 23. I think mine was 23. Yeah, I think mine was 23. but that ish gets you into any college around here so I don't know I think I need some man moments to go self-reflect right I'm shocked dude I it's a bummer too you had faith in I really did it's a bummer too because you're the one who came in like we're doing the IQ test today yeah I think it was

I don't know I don't even have any excuses um put the link to that IQ test down in the description of the video and then if you guys have what was 25 minutes if you guys have 25 minutes go and take it and then comment your IQ see if you're smarter than us it's freaking hard it's very hard and you'll understand how confusing it is and how you'll wonder how this has anything to do with your intelligence level but I guess like you said it is probably just problem solving here's my point on the whole thing I don't think it really matters I think that like this is such a weird little niche thing like doesn't really show how smart you are although I'd like to think it does it uh

You know, you can be like smart in one category, you know, or also you don't have to be smart at all to be considered successful, you know. No, but it's, I mean, and especially like, I'm not saying that wasn't legit because you said it's an immense IQ test. Like, I just remember some IQ test being like over a hundred questions and just insane. And I think there is, like, you could actually go into a university and take an IQ test with who would want to do that? But, and really get to the bottom of it, I still don't really think it. I'm just saying, like, you can be smart and there's so much. I still don't think it defines much. Define how someone's smart.

Like someone who doesn't even know how to read could be considered very smart in a certain like category and because of that they could be much more successful than someone who is the best in like the most book smart person or whatever, you know? Yeah. That's all I'm saying is like it doesn't really. Which I think that's universally understood. Yeah. I'm just saying I don't think your smartness determines how successful you are or at least like

a score on something. Not at all. I mean, look at a little pump. Yeah, he's doing better than us. I mean, he's like a multi-millionaire. I thought that it was going to be questions that are like kind of supposed to trick you. Yeah, that was like what I thought.

Maybe that's what I fell into. There is, yeah, there's very. I was really tricked. I, okay, I have a couple questions. It's a test fault, Ryan, not yours. I have a couple questions that are like your traditional, like, IQ type, trick question. I want to see if you guys can.

answer. Okay. Which word in the dictionary is always spelled incorrectly. Incorrectly. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Okay. Yeah, I like that. All right. Give me another one. I'm feeling better now. Okay. All right. All right. Let me find one. Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world? Mount Bachelor? Trivia. Wait, what was the question? Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world? Still Mount Everest. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Damn, Ryan. Yeah, that was right. That was really good.

You got the answers over there? No. This is crazy. I keep forgetting that these are all trick questions. And when you curve your brain to think that way, like, you're killing it. Ryan's like, we took the wrong eye. Yeah. Can we take another one?

Man. Tide for second as the smartest seaboy. All right, that one's going to feel good. Right behind Mike. You should put that in your bio. Smartest Seaboy. Smartest C-boy. Based on a 25 question.

Statistically, the smartest C-boy. What gets bigger and bigger than more you take away from it? A negative number? This one is kind of stupid. Let me just find one more. What was the answer? A hole.

Oh, that makes sense. I'm sorry. And how long is the answer to this question? Come on, C.J. The question is, what's the question? Dude. I'm fucking We're borderline incriminating ourselves on the internet

Not incriminating I have no clue And how what? And how long is the answer to this question And it's also way fun Knowing the answer to the trick question What's the answer to the question? I don't know

And how long is the answer to this question And how long Oh Yeah Oh Okay Whatever This is stupid

Man We're strong. Oh, that was fun. Yeah, it was a good time. Honestly, I feel pretty good about that. Second. I'm just glad I'm not the dumbest, honestly. Same.

I hate to. Same. Or statistically. Look at Ken, dude. Ken was silent. From now on, whenever Ken and Ryan tries to tell us, I'm like, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

They don't really know much. What do you think, Mike? We look at Mike, like the, like the no-all. Whatever Mike says goes now from this point on. I'll take it. We got to make, we got to make. Evan Big Wrench take one. Just for business purposes.

I bet you Big Wrench would be pretty good. I feel like he would be too. He probably the smartest. The engineer. Evan. Who knows? At this rate, he might be freaking in the 1.30.

By the time this podcast is live, we're going to have those two take it as well. And then the top comment on this podcast will be their scores. Got it. So Mike, you've been, you just finally moved into your first house. I did.

Yep. Your first own house. Yeah, first own house. It is in the city So that's different That's new I've been going back and forth to Fargo To see Sydney

And you've got 45 minute commute now Yeah which we have talked about I don't enjoy that commute very much But everyone else doesn't seem to mind it I'm starting not to mind it But yeah dude It's it's a There's only one way to describe this house

And it's cute It's adorable It's in a really nice neighborhood Were you worried at all That there's going to be a prank when you walked in? No, but we did. I talked to a...

I didn't even think of that. I did, but I was like, I'm not trying to really fuck with this. Well, I would have actually... What? Oh, I mean, I just figured... He's had it done to him. Yeah, but if there was...

Also, like, Sidney's ball pumped about it. I don't want to just turn it into this fucking... Well, that's what I'm getting at. If there was a day to catch us most off guard, it would absolutely been like the day we moved in or today. But, yeah, I'm not putting it past, you guys. Maybe we'll do it later. But yeah, I met, I met, like, you know, a handful of neighbors.

One guy, his name's Mike. He's super dope, super funny. Sounds about right. Is he smart, too? Just a big dude. He comes up wearing, like, the striped dickies overalls. He's got, like, gauges. He's wearing pit vipers, and he pulls up and like a...

Sounds like your kind of friend. Diesel, yeah. And he's just like, yeah, dude, I grew up on this block. He went to Oak Grove. He knows your family. What the fuck? Wendy's like, this is Mike. And then I was like, what a...

Mike? Mike Hawk. He's, uh, he, he, he, so his dad, his dad was the one that, like, taught Randy, like, everything, you know, when he was young. Like, when Randy was 24, he was like, like, like 12. I don't know. Anyway, met him and he's like, so you guys aren't going to be, like, filming here, are you? Like, I really enjoy your videos. I just don't think this is a neighborhood to be causing any shenanigans.

I mean, no one's going to care about your loud cars or anything, but, um, but yeah, you know, keep it civil. We should go over there today. Yeah, I was going to say. Just ride pit bikes or something. It really is crazy. The neighborhood is full of like, you know how there's a bunch of neighborhoods where you would not send your kid out on the bike, on their bike by themselves? But it's just kids crawling through the neighborhood.

Yeah, it's just crazy. Like, you know, people are just out and about mowing lawns and this and that. And there's just kids and they're just doing their own thing. But you never would really see, like, little kids just rolling around the block. And we like drive over, we drive over to go. go like see Mike one day and he's out on his bike riding around with the kids he's got like a ramp rigged up in this like driveway none of the other parents would let him do it there but he's like we could do it in my house guys he comes over Mike moves in they send Mike Hawk over Mike Hawk to like

kind of give him like a shakedown and like all the kids are like pretend like when they drive by Mike's place they're like and as soon as they're on the other side they're like what you see what you what kind of intel you got here and there's like this whole like ecosystem going on like that Mike doesn't know about that I can see it happening Mike what'd you get did you tell them not to pull any of those shenanigans any of those videos here we should bring fireworks over tonight man that'd be awesome firework party at mics so that guy really told you like don't be pulling any shenan in my neighborhood yeah but definitely not in that tone and like obviously he didn't say he didn't say those words but it was like the friendliest you could possibly be like the dude was like

dude if you need anything just like call me if you want to meet any of the neighbors on the block. Just let me know. Like, I know everyone. He's kind of the guy. Yeah. I was like, he's the guy. But yeah, he was like, he's driving a Cummins and he's like, you still got your WRX? And I'm like, yep. He's like, yeah, I had one too. And then he's just like, yeah, I figured

it was going to blow up, so I sold it. Oh, was it? Was it silver or blue? And do we happen to buy it? It'd blow up within three minutes? But my favorite thing, basically when we were like, first thing, we pull in, this little girl's on the deck, just like, you

I share a drive-of-it, which, in my opinion, super annoying. Like, one cement driveway for both houses. Really? And then you kind of pull off, which, yeah, I think that's going to be an issue. Well, I mean, at least they can snow blow it. Yeah, true. We can kind of go hand in hand. But anyway, the little girl goes, are you guys the new neighbors?

She's like seven. And we're like, yep, yeah, we're the new neighbors. She's like, I'm Maya. And then points through dog, this is Johnny. And I'm like, oh, nice to meet you. How long have you guys lived here? not very long and then she comes riding her bike up as we're unloading

and she goes with her friend these are the new neighbors I already forgot their names but anyway I was like people seem pretty friendly around like a happening place dude sounds like a happening place god damn

then her and her dad like brought over some skittles and a candle and a flower that's pretty nice shit my kid is that kind of a flower didn't give us shit when we went over at our place you should do a wine night at your house and invite all the neighbors And then trash your place.

Yes. Like you're like really drunk and just like, break the table. Come out wearing all white and just like, like as you're walking out the door just be like, let's get this party going. It will, oh man, I mean,

it would probably be one of the most legendary prank videos we've ever done if the, you know, cameras all over inside and then just just for one video. Stone cold Steve Austin and wine glasses and everything. But yeah, they would look at this guy and go, man, he really is smart he's always working a play on something

it's my that did go through my what he's up to he's the smartest seaboy that went through my head he's actually the smartest seaboy yeah i don't know what i'm watching right now but obviously he's got to something insanely smart and creative and he's calculated and if it looks dumb it's just because it's above your intelligence level you know it's just like i'm gonna play that card no i i know nothing, going back to the IQ test, I know nothing's going to change. We're all going to treat each other exactly how we did before with some jokes, that is. But, I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to look at Ryan the same. I'm not going to lie. Every time I think about

opening my mouth, I go, maybe I'm too stupid to open my mouth. Ryan, you might be too stupid to talk to. That is the worst. You want to know the worst part about dumb people? They don't know they're dumb. Literally, they're too dumb to know. I just became self-aware, dude. Like a monkey who saw himself in the mirror. You want to know about the best part about the line, Ben just said that you're literally too stupid to talk to. Is that is a real quote spoken by the great Ken Matthews.

What was the context of that? I think it was when like him and Jake were wrestling or something and you were trying to like Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is a great story, actually. This is an amazing story. It was right when we started making videos. so we started getting a couple followers but like nothing much

nothing much right but we had a couple followers on Snapchat right and uh and Jake Jake took Ken's phone and he posted a picture of his package on Ken's story

an abs and he was like stretching it was an abstract yeah he's stretching he posted it on Ken's story right what a savage movie Yeah, it was extremely savage, right? Didn't he, like, put a caption? Like, what's up? Hold on.

I'm sure I have a screen grab. It was very juvenile of him, but how could you not laugh? It was so funny. And then so he does that. He does that, right? And then he comes out with the bathroom and Ken, like, takes his phone back and, like, sees what's going on. And Ken starts, like, malfunctioning. Like, he started, like, malfunctioning.

My mom's on Snapchat. Not knowing what to do. He was like, Jake, that's on my story. That's on my story. And I have it on. video guys. Well, why don't you just delete it that if you're so worked up, but his fingers weren't working because it's so mad, hot. And he locked himself out of his Snapchat. No, I heard that you missed a whole lot. I deleted it, but back then, Snap's like, wouldn't

delete off the story right away. So I had to delete my Snapchat account to get it to go away. But it stayed up on his story. It stayed up on his story. Sup, dude. Yeah, the captain was so, dude. I was screaming out of this one It was on a story And I got videos of it though Right here Ken, just delete it

Just delete it And he goes I have my mom on Snapchat And we're like Well just She probably won't see it It's 11 o'clock And she goes

She's not to eat right now It was 6 o'clock You guys We weren't we? We were out to eat Weren't we? No we're a Ben's base Right here

And so So Ken was fucking pissed But Jake whoops his ass can we put this up on oh my gosh we gotta put this up on the TV once you get your GoPro going again

you all know as funny as I was filming all this and I was like this is gonna be a great video bit and then it was like no you can't put that on the internet I wasn't gonna put his dick on the internet I thought just the context of it

was hilarious and now it's probably gonna shut off again so he posted on his story Ken starts malfunctioning trying to delete it he has to delete his Snapchat it's still up on his story no what happened was he deleted his story

but it didn't delete off his story so it showed it was delete on his phone but then we'd like go and like, still up. So he deletes his whole Snapchat, but then it was still up. So then he was just like, did have a Snapchat? Did you have anything? And it was just still up. Like the one time that his Snapchat decides the glitch is when he's got a dick pig on his story saying,

sup dudes. Well, this is all going down though. And it's no face. And everyone thinks it's his. I was freaking out. I was livid. Livid. Livid.

Yeah. Still one of the most mad I've ever seen Ken. But I, in a very reasonable tone, go, Ken. Why don't you take a picture of Jake and say to everyone that just saw that story, that was Jake Sherbrook. Yeah. I am so sorry. We got the video right here. And then post that secondly.

And he literally like steaming out the ears, red face, stares at me in the eyes and goes, Ben, you are literally too stupid to even talk to right now. And then storms out. I was like, okay, I thought it was a good idea. And then after that, we were like, that was the funniest thing Ken's ever said. And then for the next seven years to this day, we're still saying you are literally too stupid to even talk to right now. Okay, I got to pull this video. You did not.

That was not the tone you said. Oh, we got the video. You always got. There we go. We'll pull up the video. We got it. No, no. Go to the other one.

The other one. Sorry. That was second. You got to go to the first one where you guys initially are wrestling. Turn it up to. Turn it up. Turn it up. Turn it up.

So that's the first one. You guys start fighting. I pull my phone out. It's fine. You guys are mad, but Jake gets kind of mad. Oh, slams Ken now. Not only did Ken. Oh, fire.

Ken's got a dick on his time, but he's getting his ass kicked. Dude, he's going to pay. Oh, my gosh, dude. Oh, my God. That actually hurt like, fuck. Wait, Ken, no. It gets better. You can't.

No. No, Kenny, go back. Good, come on. You actually start playing. back together after that. It does straighten out for you. You get revenge. I'm sorry.

Oh. That was like a W-W-E move right there. Hammer fist. It didn't even post. Ken, my parents were sleeping. Ken, my parents are sleeping. What do he gets? We got the merch.

So Jake took Ken's phone and he took a picture of his dick and put it on a Snapchat story. Ken checking him is still there. Hey, Ken, if anything, you're going to have a bunch of girls get you up now. Why did you delete it?

You let it post? You fucking post. You have to delete it again. I did. Wait, so it's still up? Did people see it? Jake's an idiot. Yeah.

I just wanted the It's too Oh yeah You took his phone And went in the bathroom Oh yeah We still don't know What he did it

With that thing in there A picture of his dick up now, dude That's okay It doesn't make me bad How sweaty Jake was The difference I don't care Ken

Can I at least see it for the video All right Go to the next one Yeah that's the one So you come out, and then you're saying, like, Jake, my mom. Yeah, my mom. Oh, she spent the deal set. Jake, you're a fucking idiot.

My mom is so pissed at me right now. Get open the loft. Because they're like dogs. I'm filming this one thing, babe. Don't do that, you idiot. Okay, now go to the next one. Then you show his phone. All right, he shows his phone

I love this too That we're just in Ben's parents' basement Just causes it like midnight It's like midnight I think So now Jake shows Wait what are people responding None of them are I want him to do just to see

So yeah you sent a picture What happened here Ken then took Jake's phone Took a dick pick and sent it to like five girls Oh Jake CJ that was like 30 30 I think it's even Yeah Jake I'm getting more

Dead Dead Oh my god Put up your story Like it was this kid Yeah and then Finally came to your senses Why?

Before His story I can say it now Put me on your story This idiot fucking stole my phone. Beat his ass on camera. You have no idea how legendary that is. They know it's not you.

You're much of a fucking idiot you are, dude. My parents, my fucking aunt and uncle, follow me on, I'm fucking snap that. Yeah. Do you know where they are right now? They're absorbent. Okay, why is that the funny? I don't know, this is it? On Snapchat?

Jake goes, let's go ride. Yeah, right now, midnight, let's go ride. This is some lost tapes. This is definitely. We're like 30? This is lost tapes. I'm Ken's a porn star.

You're actually a fucking idiot. Like, I'm seriously so fucking pissed that you right now. Don't fucking do that. The silence. Dude, I mean, in defense, in Ken's defense, I would probably be pretty fucking upset, too. I don't really know how I'd handle the whole thing. And obviously hindsight's 2020.

It's hard to watch a video of yourself, you know, eight, five years ago. What did Jake say in there, though? When we're 30, this is going to be hilarious. Ken is almost 30 now. It's fucking funny. It's still not funny. It was hilarious at the time. I had tears in my eyes, man.

All right, but I got to say something. As far as... It was like eight years ago. I remember as it happened, and I still feel the same way about it now. Like, the dick pick thing was hilarious and mean. I love how... Here's where I started feeling really bad was when Ken, you know, starts, like,

fucking shoving him, shoving Jake. And then Jake's like... All right, dude, if we're going to, like, do this, like, I'm going to, I'm going to pull my own. Dude, just like that, that's when I, when Jake just bodies him to the ground, I'm like, all right. I mean, you know, you got to pour into a stick two times. He can't do shit. You don't have to fight him like, like nothing actually happened. And that's what I felt really bad was like when Jake starts putting you in an arm bar.

And I was like, dude, you just tortured the guy on social media and now you're torturing in real life. Dude, when he put him in that arm bar. He should have just took in a beating because he did. it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah. I thought he's going to break his arm for a second. Seriously. I think I even say, I think he's going to break his arm. I don't think I was there that night, but man, that got chaotic. How many friends, like, how many people you think you had back then?

But the problem was is that it was all people you knew. He had active people. It's just like, why. Everyone on your Snapchat back then was like your actual friends and people you see every day. What are you? Hold on. Fugging story.

What's up, dudes? That's the shit that only happens back. that nobody does that anymore because it's now life's too to to cut and dry you can't get away with shit like that i don't know man i wouldn't be surprised if jake still did that i remember ken was really mad after that and rightfully so and then he went to zorbas and then uh i went over to zorbas and bottom like the biggest corona they had as like this giant thing because i was like trying to like just call like i mean i really didn't do shit i was just filming it after it already happened, but I felt bad, so I was like, God, I just got to do something to cheer this guy up.

And I like Godman, he was like, oh, thanks, dude. He really appreciated it. Hey, didn't you walk into Zorba's and everyone, like, was, like, clapping or like saying something about it, though? Like, we're to travel that fast. Oh, I mean, everyone has seen it. All 15 people, we know. Yeah.

Yeah, dude, the cuck dudes. The picture of a dick. Yeah. You just look at it back then when Snapchat wasn't even like a commercialized thing. It was just like Yeah, it was just communication. Yeah. I mean,

I definitely won't incriminate the guy, but I have like, yeah, probably 10 other videos and scenarios of Jake doing equally savage, if not more savage things. And I mean, that's what I mean.

I don't incriminate the guy as we just aired it. No, no, I won't tell anyone. I don't want to tell anything. Hey, use your guy's name. Use your imagination.

He's way smarter than us, though. But, dude, I mean, just some of the stuff. And I, you guys heard. it last week like um you know he's a change man but he was like ain't give a care about anything as long as it's for a good laugh and but i'm not calling him a dick like all the all the stuff was like just dudes being savage and funny i think i if he would have done that to me i don't think

i would have gotten as hot about it well obviously not i probably would have been like that was him what if we what have we ever done like i would have we ever done to ken that you would get as hot about like literally nothing. Yeah. It's all, it's just different. Different time back when Ken was more of a hot head. You know, different pokes.

There gets to be a point where a lot of pokes get to be a lot of pokes and they kind of. Yeah. You had to deal with a lot of pokes back then. To be fair, that was kind of the first like public poke. Maybe Jake was a bully. Would you say, yeah,

you were more of a victim of his bully? And I thought I was incriminating. They clip that. Jake Sherbrook was a bully. Jake Sherbrook used to bully Ken. And it's just you saying maybe Jake was a bully. It's just a clip of him putting him in an arm bar. That was physically and mentally.

That was a heavy arm bar. I'm not going to lie. Ken, would you rather have the world... No. Would you rather... Would you rather have the world know that you're a vapist and your face on a billboard or one of your friends posted DP on your... How about neither?

Posted DP on your... your story. How about neither? No, you have to pick. You have to pick either one. There's always a third option. Okay, all right. Let me think.

There's always a fourth option now. Dude, I talked to a classmate of Ken's at Zorba's the other day and kind of mine too, great above me, but he spoke very highly of you. Yeah, he's a great kid. And it was like, he's like, yeah, dude, the people in my grade were dicks. They weren't very nice to him. I've watched the channel since kind of the beginning, and the dude's flourishing. and I really enjoy it because I've always thought he was really nice and a good soul

and it was like pretty refreshing here which he's not the only one to say that the comments have taken a turn and my favorite thing is when you're smiling in a video which lately has been like every video you know like wine night uh wet bike every like all kinds of stuff dude the amount of comments that are like so good to see ken smiling it's the most commented thing is it's like always if you scroll through the comments it's about Evan or Ken. Yeah. Yeah.

And they're all positive. Yeah. Or yeah. If people are name dropping, it's like Evan or Ken. Yeah. Can you bring a lot of joy to people and I don't think you should, you should be proud of that. And you're also not the dumbest out of all of us. Yeah, Ken.

That's always nice. I'm only the second, so. I'm so excited for Evan and Big Ranch to take this. My dad actually told me that the other day, I don't know why, but it was, you know, I was just like freaking. kind of down in the dumps. Like, God, I don't want to, like, edit this video. You know, I just had a lot going on. It felt like shit.

And he was saying, like, how he thinks, how it's crazy because, you know, like, I wanted to be a chiropractor when I grew up and all that. And then he was saying, like, what I've, you know, all of us, but, you know, what we've done now, but even just if you individualize each, each and every one of us, he was like, I think you have done a lot better for the world than you would have as even a chiropractor. in like a whole because like you look at how many people you impact each and every week and like you know bring joy to so that's something that all of us really you know not toot our own horn and any creator you know because if you're bringing joy and uh laughter or whatever just

giving someone something to take their mind away from you know real life for a short bit of time just to get away i think you're doing a you know a service to the world and a positive service i thing yeah that's like a hell of compliment yeah yeah it was a really nice compliment i thought and i think like uh let's say just back in the day i you know when someone would be like i'm in the hospital and um you guys's videos are getting me through the day those ones are pretty cut and dry you're like yeah if i was in the hospital i'd be stoked and that makes me the most stoked but i used to just be like when people are like you're you guys know have no idea how much your videos mean to me i'm like they're just like you know we're just vlogging like you know i still

very entertaining but we're just like making videos I was like, glad you like them. No, but people love it. But now, now that we, you know, we've been putting blood, sweat, and tears into these things and they're full-blown productions. And when people say that, that's still my favorite comments by far. Yeah. People are like, dude, you actually, like, help me through hard times.

I won't get into it, but, like, for real. Yeah. That is, like, the best part of my job, at least. I'll speak for myself. Yeah, I agree. I mean, to be able to help someone that is, like, their parents are fighting or, they're sick or their sister's sick or anything take your mind off it for a little bit you know and i never want you know people need to focus on reality too but uh it's the most flattering thing

same with this podcast so like people say like oh like this just made my day of work go so much yeah even that faster you know or whatever but for some reason i wasn't so good at uh really bringing that home before but now i'm like i i love doing this because of that after he told me that compliment, I was like, God, you know, because I didn't want to go and like freaking edit and, you know, whatever that day. But I was like, God, I got to just go and do this because I was thinking like, there's so many people that want to, you know, are like waiting on this, you know, and they're relying on this to, not obviously it's not life for death thing, but it's just going to give them a little bit of joy. I was like, yeah, you know, I thought about that and then I just freaking, you know, and did it. Charged you. It gave me a little bit of a pep myself.

I was talking to a couple of kids. kids and their dad today and they were like yeah every single Thursday we sit down on the couch as a family and watch the video and and a lot of people tell us that and I was like what happens if we post it late and they're like oh we just like sit on instagram and just constantly refresh until until new video pops up but I was just like man so many families guys sit down at 7 o'clock and be like all right let's see how on it they were this week yeah yeah no but that is cool that is really cool and it fires me up reading the comments especially after like after we do something that's like kind of out there but like turned out to be really funny like

the boat ramp bit in the last video like just reading all of the comments because like doing things like that is like it's it's uncomfortable and it's like you're intimidating it's intimidating you're putting yourself out there and it could either be like really funny or really not and it's kind of just like your attitude in the moment and then like editing it and how it all comes together afterwards it's really cool to see like just a little bit. bit of like a creative idea like that that we think it's funny and then like the world like that was their favorite part of the entire video and it's received and and there's so many positive comments on it like that's a shit that just like fires me up to like continue to want to like come up with

ideas like that yeah and then like go out and do it even though they're uncomfortable in the moment well that's the best part is like the execution is the hardest part but also you know like at the end of the day that that idea is like like many of our ideas is pretty simple but it's like going out and doing it bringing the cameras bringing the people bringing the hype bringing the confidence I think it's also just committing to it bringing the commitment

bringing the creativity when you're editing bringing yeah there's a lot of pieces that got to fall together and yeah and I think a lot of people do understand that but oh man I agree like you brought that bit to life we walked out of there and they're like yeah it was that was fun I mean people were mad

happy sad mad but only had one pissed off person yeah that was amazing what in a sense she added so much to that yeah i was just gonna say she kind of made it dude so good but but how this all started is like can you and your your character and your character development and your reactions and just like the overall dynamic between uh each member of the group add so much value and entertainment to like people's lives that needed in that moment you know so if you're you're so sick of this or that i get that but like at the end of the day we're just entertainers and uh yeah you know you provide a lot of entertainment to these people yeah everyone does

yeah i think we really heated them up with that last fit that was nice of you but we didn't even get a thank you i don't even think i've watched that i haven't like i don't know if i ever had i come across that in my camera roll especially the one where like jake's wrapping his waist up like that's a screen grab of it. I like don't even watch it just because it's like, well, this is kind of savage. Dude, I forgot about that. That just sparked it off of the too stupid to talk to. That's so funny. An iconic line. Yeah. So iconic. I was out to breakfast this morning with Greta and we're sitting there and this guy comes up to me and goes, hey, what's life wide open? He's on my back. And then Greta was wearing like the girl's life wide open shirt. The Daisy one. Yep. And,

I was like, oh, it's, it's, uh, just like my slogan with me and my friends have a YouTube channel. And it's like our slogan that we put on merch and everything. And he was like, oh, cool, cool. And like started to ask me about like the YouTube channel. And it was like super just like not inquisitive, but like like, like like, like, like, just wanted to like no more. Like I could tell you like actually like cared and was genuine. And he was like, oh, yeah, I'm friends with like the dude perfect guys. And like, it was just like a kind of like an instant. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. And so we. had a couple couple um um um you know cups of coffee

he's always standing there and then they needed a pamper after that he brought to shit their pants oh we're talking about youtube and he's asking me like all these questions about youtube and ask him like about you guys and then like i don't know probably talk for like 10 15 minutes it was like a really it was a good conversation that was just like sparked off of like asking about like life wide open and then um he was like yeah like my friend over here is a pastor and uh oh did i say that right pastor pastor pastor he's a pastor i think i'm yeah i mean i don't what was he was he a field of grass or was he a preacher let me rephrase that he was like so he was like yeah my friend over here is a pastor um

at a local church and uh like i'm i'm pretty involved what no i just leave that in that first part You're not getting that cut. Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. Third smartest. Pasture. Second. I'm putting you at third after that.

No, no, no. I'll take it. Anyway, he was like talking about how his sister passed away from cancer a couple years ago. And he was like, ever since then, I've tried to be better about seeing people and getting to know them and ask them a little bit more about their life and if they're struggling. And if I can help in any way. And, you know, he was like pretty religious, but he was like, is there anything I can pray for you about?

Wow. And I've never had somebody just like, like a random person that I've talked to for five, ten minutes and then like ask, can I pray, like, can I pray for anything in your life that like isn't going well? I was like, oh, man. I'll be honest. Like my neck isn't very good. Like I got x-rayed last weekend. I like, I sprained my neck. So that's, that's, I've been struggling with that lately.

and Gretto was like, yeah, my grandpa is not doing well. And he was just like, well, I'd love to just pray for you, guys. And he, like, literally, like, put his hand on, like, my shoulder and was like, I want to pray for you right now. And, like, God, you know, you made him help his neck, like, if you can, like, help his neck feel better right now. Like, I felt my neck, like, instantly, like, feel better. Like, I was just, like, feeling better. It was just, like, such a moment. Yeah, like, it was so powerful.

powerful. And we're just sitting there at coffee. And this guy, like, became my best friend in 10 minutes. And I started praying over me and was, like, praying for Grandma's grandpa. And it was, like, quite possibly, like, the most wholesome moment. Wow. I've ever had, like, spiritually like that with, like, a, like a random person. And then he just, like, was like, by the way, man, love your car.

Keep doing what you're doing. I know it's a grind. I know it's hard. You have bad days. But, like, you mean a lot to a lot of people. Wow. Like just you knew all the right things to say yeah It was crazy and then genuine but and then just like walked away man I was like crazy

I was like what I feel better about you know myself this the stress of of everything that we deal with you know Because he was like I get that it's not easy and the world probably just sees it as like fun like he was like saying that too I was like dude yeah exactly And it was like you know I get that you're you're not feeling good right now and you're probably like man If if he was literally like I'd tell you to get a new job but I know that's not not even in the cards. So, like, yeah. Yeah, and I was like, yeah, 100%.

I just got to deal with it. And, yeah, he was, like, said all the right things. And then just, like, walked away. And I was literally just sitting there with Greta, like, wow, that was, that was such a moment. Like, I was, she was like, what do you, like, how are you feeling right? Like, what do you think of that? Because I'm not, like, super religious. I was going to ask that.

Be like, Greta knows that. And I was like, that was such a moment. It was like, I don't even know what to say right now. And he just walked away. I was like, now that. now that's a guy making the world a better place 100% holy smokes wow kind of got like chills thinking about i mean like yeah you just don't get moments like that thousands of people you interact with just on a daily basis whether it's like literally

someone you wave at someone when you drive by like not many times do you get someone who seems that invested and just means well just that genuine that genuine yeah yeah yeah wild i mean that's even that's like exactly how i feel or anyone maybe feels like when i go and visit my home church yeah like i've said this before but if you want to like ever feel good or feel nice or or have someone genuinely be interested in you or what you're doing or make you feel better it's always that church it just always is there's no two ways around it but like it's crazy that that he was able to like you know if you came about it the wrong way you'd be like all right yeah yeah right yeah if it was like imposing and like pushy yeah absolutely but it felt

like you know very genuine and and and it wasn't just like walking up to a stranger and like saying that immediately but it we had like a connection talking about this or that you know for a little who knows maybe he wouldn't have done that if he didn't feel a connection yeah like there's that too yeah i thought i thought it i thought it was just it was a cool moment yeah no you know it was it felt felt good you know mike it's interesting you say like yeah you go to church and you feel this connection with the people and stuff like that, which is something that I kind of like know about you. You're probably the most church going.

I mean, granted, Ken and I basically became friends at church when we were younger. But as I've grown older, although I still, you know, believe in God and all that stuff, it's interesting where I've found that I, like, find God or whatever in a different place. Like, I don't really go to church anymore, which to some maybe a bad thing. But even just yesterday, I was driving, listening to the new Zach Brian. album and I was just content driving to go see my friends and looking at the fields and all that and I was like man you know life is good I see the you know workings and like I can just see how the beauty of life and things and I always say that my church is coming over the hill to my house

and you can see the lake and I'm like that is where I gain like this feeling from God or the universe or whatever or especially in the mountains and you talked about how you feel a connection with people there's something beautiful about being like with our friend snowmobiling or dirt biking or something like that that you know those people if you broke your leg right now they will do everything they can to help you and you're sitting there eating the snickers like looking at the mountains that are insanely beautiful and you know that like everybody is just there to be together and that's where i've kind of like found that yeah like it's interesting that you can It's a very similar feeling that you get with like the people that you're with at church.

It's like a similar passion. Exactly. And I think I think what church gives a lot of people is like a purpose. Like they look at, you know, their God as he gives them purpose in life. I think that's the most important thing for anyone. Yeah. To make it through, you know, the hardship that everyone goes through. If you can find like that purpose and for a lot of people,

It's like God and their religion, then it's like, who is anyone to like knock them for what they believe in or something like that? You know, there's like a lot of religions out there. But like everyone kind of looks at their religion to get the same thing out of it. Yeah. I guess. And probably a community too. Yeah. A lot of people aren't blessed with such a large group of friends or a sport that takes them to something.

But I mean, yeah, if you want to meet like-minded people, sometimes it can be there, you know, and people to support you. Yeah. It's easy to be optimistic when things are going well, of course. But that's what, like, I'm an extremely optimistic person, but I think sometimes maybe that even I confuse myself with that. Like, at the end, the purpose and the appreciation. Like, I just am like really, I'm way more appreciative about a situation than I am anything else, almost always. Or I guess I should say optimistic. But, and that really helped. Like, I mean, just driving around the lakes. Like, we, I mean, we've been driving around these roads for, like, kind of you're saying, the beauty of the earth. And it really comes down to, like, won't get too in depth with it, but it comes down to, like, if you're, if you believe in creation or if you believe in evolution, there's other things to believe in, that's kind of a cut and dry thing. So if you don't believe in creation, it's kind of hard to appreciate. But, yeah, I mean, we drive around these lakes for the last 20 years, and I still am just like, just gorgeous, just beautiful. How could you beat it? How could you beat it?

Yeah. these animals our bodies our systems everything is created in my opinion uh yeah and no matter what you believe it's just like damn it's there yeah well yeah either way take it in for sure take it in and meet people i mean that's why yeah it's uh at the end of the day the only thing that sucks about what we do is like how busy we are i i honestly i can't see myself ever stopping talks to someone and genuinely sound interested for let's say 20 minutes because I don't have the time and that's really selfish but that's interesting because you're a certified chiller yeah I know sit down and talk to any well yeah but they the conversations

are shallow compared to what you experienced but yeah maybe that maybe I'm just scared exceptional yeah but yeah there's something to be said about people that can just go up and strike a conversation with anyone you know I'm sure he was like oh that I had my I would like have my Lambo out front and it was just like me there I'm sure he was like that kid's car I'd like to maybe know what he does or who he is and he went up and he saw oh let me ask him about his t-shirt.

Yeah, saw a cool slogan. Yeah. You know something that makes sense. Yeah. And like you look for an end and then you strike up from there which is I think, you know, probably like the hardest part about like just starting a conversation is like finding like common grounds.

You guys seen the TikToks I just got on it about like they're like tele pastors or whatever but they're like the televised like giant stadium church pastors yeah and it's hilarious whatever you think about whatever those guys are scamming a system for sure what are they doing bro i'll i'll pull one up here but in like this case yeah the guy preaches in like literally a fargo dom-sized stadium every week but he has like four private jets and his thing We'll be like... Hey, he's a different guy, yeah. But he'll be like, the reason I need a jet is so I can spread the word farther and faster.

And then he already has three. And he's like, I am asking you the congregation to pull together $25 million so I can get a new golf... So I can get a new Gulfstream G8. He says that? Yeah, shit like that. It's fucking nuts. And since it's a religion, it's all tax deductible. there's no thing lives for free

lives in like a 30,000 square foot mansion it's fucked up it is weird to think about certain churches being more businesses than for like public service yeah Kenneth Copeland holy

oh I've seen a video this guy straight up is evil he's an evil person he's got the look he's got a thousand square foot house why do you say that just from what I've seen about him he described flying commercial

as a metal tube filled with demons. Oh, yeah, yeah, I've seen that. That's why you have a $65 million PJ. Yeah, I've seen, like, and just videos where he just, like, certain things he says, it just look, it's, it's almost not even like he's lying. He just looks devious. How do you get into something like this? Look at him, dude.

You know, addiction, you know, he starts in one way, realizes that there's money to be made, and then he becomes so addicted to it and so addicted to that. He's, like, crazy, like, over the top. Like, it's one thing to, like, understand you've got to be comfortable, but... Yeah, that's what I mean. But, like, that is so exuberant. That guy's being that... He's getting his money through donations.

He's just a glorified salesman. It's all he is. He's getting through donations. Do you have his own private airport there? Oh, yeah. Oh, my. Oh, a state near a private airport. Okay. Owned by the church.

Owned by the church. Oh, yeah, of course. It's all written off, like, for... But that's the... other crazy part is that he's making all that money and then he writes everything off like again 100% tax deductible because it's a religion I can't believe people are like giving them more money I know like I think he should live in a nice place but I don't think he needs a that big what is that that was like 30,000 square feet right so then like then you got to wonder like are the people

that are in a sense following him at least looking up to him and his whatever he's preaching are they that dense like shouldn't that money for that house be going to like starving children in africa because yeah and all these other things like because after a certain point i mean dude i just remember that's why like on a realistic note like in a small town that we started in a really old church and then we finally finally finally moved to a new church built it it was pretty small and then it's like after we talked about it in services after like years and years and years okay we get to add on we're gonna add on like the the second whatever sense it's for people to congregate yeah you're not

I'm not putting the pastor up in a $10 million lake house. The whole church, because they're very transparent about it, which I love. The whole church costs like $2.2 million. It's huge. I mean, now, as in like the youth center, whatever, all this stuff, that's it. So, like, think how many churches you could build with $35 million. What religion is this guy? Why does he have such a following?

Yeah, what is his religion? I'm wondering about the people. Because obviously there's certain. Oh, I don't know the denomination, but I know for a fact I think he claims to be. Christian, I guess. Non-denominational, evangelical in Texas. I did see he preaches the prosperity gospel, which means God wants you to be rich.

And the reason he's so rich is because he has done so much for God. Interesting. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, this video. This video. Watch this, dude. Send the link to me. Man, he's mad.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's getting grilled by this lady. Do you really believe that human beings are demon? No, I do not. And don't you ever see? say I did. Yeah. We wrestle

on. The smiles? That's what I mean, this guy. This is just like when people are like pressed and they get so angry. It doesn't help

his cause for him. It doesn't help either though. Not defending him. But yeah, like I'm sure you got ran up on and it's like you're kind of already getting set at this disadvantage. You're like, fuck. And you already know kind of how they're setting

you up. And then it's like, then you're kind of getting frustrated because you're trying to like clarify but they're you know but i'm not defending them but yeah interesting yeah no he must be obvious to get crowds together like that he must be extremely good at powerful motivating people or like rallying people in marketing yeah i don't know interesting or maybe he's really good at preaching i guess we should maybe listen to him yeah maybe i guess yeah maybe i guess I just didn't speak on it just from that, but...

True. It does seem a little bit exuber. All right. What a roller coaster podcast. What a roller coaster, boys. We went through so much. We found out who was dumb, who was smart. We dove deep into a story that Ken did not want us to do.

We got soft. We talked about religion, which we don't really ever do. And you guys are my best friends. I appreciate you guys. Good stuff. I love you, Mike. Good stuff. Good stuff.

Yeah, Mike. Mike, I'm sure you do love us, Mike. Oh, I love you guys. You're stupid friends. Hey, these are my buddies. Hey, guys, even though you guys are all idiots, I love you. I'm just like, yeah, these are my buddies. I'm all smarter than them.

I don't really. All right. Okay. Subscribe.
