So we're just talking off camera. We've been trying to line up shipping prices to get our cars shipped from here to Denver and then from Las Vegas home because we're going to do a crown route or a rally this summer with my car

CJ's GTR and then we're going to bring our seam a truck with so I had this guy quote us a price to bring them to Denver and then home from Vegas $15,000 I guess that's there and home from Vegas 15,000 no it's too much but I wasn't even putting that in I don't know why I just wasn't thinking about the shipping back thing so that that is probably a pretty true rate but that is steep. It makes sense that $5 a gallon for diesel. And that's what he said. He was like, if you would have done it a year ago,

it would have been $7,500. But because of where we're at right now with fuel prices, I can't do it for any less. And I was like, hey, man, I don't, I'm not holding like that price against you. I'm just like looking at it. It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money for one video and to justify that just to get our cars there.

That doesn't include, you know, everything else that goes with it. Food, all that. I was like, oh, man, that's a. It'd be like a $22,000 video, and it, I mean, it'd be a lot of fun. It would maybe be two videos, but that still wouldn't. It wouldn't be like a crazy video, like... Oh, it'd be crazy. I mean, it wouldn't go crazy, like the Seema truck duct tape tires.

Like, that was $4,000, which was an investment, but we knew that would kind of go viral. Right. So then when you go to the drawing board with that much money, basically, if you go to the drawing board with $15K, we can do a lot at home or on our own with that. And not put 4,000 miles on Ben's... Lamborghini. I don't know. I've never been on one of those rallies. It seems like you must have to have an exotic kind of to be even a part of it. They're pretty expensive to be on. The thing about most of the people that do those rallies is they're actually rich. He's like, what do you mean? You got a Lambo. What's another 15 grand? But it's different for us. Because like we buy things like

Lambo's as in like a construction worker buys a new truck or a skid steer. Like it's a utility. Like no buddy who's going to mess around in their yard With like limited amounts of money buys a brand new skids here But homie who's doing dirt work buys a brand new skids here It's like a tool Yeah, I don't have as much money as most people that own Lamborghinis Yeah, exactly So I'm like, that's a lot of money, man

If you're watching this right now And you have an enclosed trailer And you think you could bring two nice cars Not a shitty enclosed trailer I don't want you just throwing these in like a snowmobile trailer I think we want someone with insurance too Yeah, I might just go as far as, hey, if you transport cars, nice cars for a living and you think you can beat that rate, hit us up. It would be great.

Here to Denver and then Vegas to here. It was 15K for three vehicles. That's true. We all said this is over. That drive back from Vegas to all the way to Cormorant, I mean, there's a long drive. Yeah. Because we were like, well, what if we just did it? Somebody drove the Cema truck and then we didn't have somebody transport it.

We put Evan in the Cema truck. Can you imagine how many tickets? We'd probably rack up $15,000 with a tickets between here and bags and back. I think he'd go back to removing asbestos after that. I can't imagine many tickets. I don't think you would either. I think as soon as you got out of here, you'd be fine. I, hopefully.

Between here and Cormoran. Yeah, yeah. Once you get out of between our shopping, Cormoran, Coast is clear. That's pretty much the truth. But yeah. You know what I think might be the biggest gold mine ever? Menards Go into Menards

And don't walk out of their spending like $300 It's impossible You go there and you buy literally two things And it's like yep, that'll be $500 The dude checking out in front of me Bought like freaking he had a bunch of wood and stuff But he's like yeah

That'll be $9,000 some dollars Swipes the car I'm like holy shit dude Just drop nine grand in Menards on like a Tuesday 15 two by fours Yeah exactly Bought a sheet of plywood Every time I go into Menards and I'm walking down the alleys, I get this basically any time I go to like that kind of store.

But I'm like, all right, I feel like I need something, but I don't write anything down. And then I get home and I'm like, fuck, I was just at Menards. I should have bought this or do something like that. Does that happen to you guys too? All time. Yeah. You come home with a truck full of stuff that you didn't really need, but you kind of want. Or that.

Or walking down the aisle and I'm like, I can use another pack of screwdrivers. Yeah. I'm here. I might as well. Right. It's whenever we go to like hardware stores and stuff like that, I literally, if I have the time, I'll stroll down, I'll just pick 10 random aisles and then be like, do I need anything?

Does the shop need anything from these aisles? And if they don't, I go, I've been here for 25 minutes. Better get rolling on. Been here wandering around for nine hours. If I went to Menards for nine hours, I would spend $9,000. Now that I'm thinking about it, if anyone's watching this podcast and they have a connection in the tool industry, we have. the worst tools in our shop for how much how much we wrench on stuff and do things like we have

the starter pack DeWalt toolkit and drills and all that stuff half of it doesn't work most the time so if you're watching this and you have a tool connection hit us up we'll promote the shit out of it because we use it a lot yeah we have like all the basics but whenever someone comes in like greg or kevin when we're working on my bike or anything they're like do you have this special tool but it's not necessarily a crazy special tool like no just sock Do you have a spring puller? No. No.

I mean, now I do. Do you guys have flathead screwdrivers that aren't bent? No, we've used them to do things that aren't meant for screwdrivers. We only have the flat head that's this big and then the flat head that's like this big and that's it. Because we don't have like pry bars so then we use our screwdrivers as pry bars or we don't have like a punch. So then we use our screwdrivers as punches.

And all the punches we do have are bent like this. Yeah, but we make do. What's up with the bracelet? It's just so I don't forget, you know? Oh. How do you feel about that right? I thought he was like getting fancy or something. I was like, well, this would be sick if it was like gold chain.

Mike pulls up with a Cartier bracelet. Is that cool? That's fancy then? I would like, I would straight out if you pulled up with like a nice watch or a nice bracelet. It wouldn't be me. It wouldn't. That's why I'd be so surprised. Okay.

So speaking of, I just swore, but I haven't enacted. Is that what? You know why you haven't talked at all this entire podcast? Because you can't talk without swearing or? No, I was starting this, I got a new game. Here's the deal. You can say any swear word but the F word. From here on out for the rest of the podcast,

it'll probably be easy for you guys. For me, it's probably going to be hard. And if you do swear, you have to take a shot, which is only going to probably make it progressively harder. Yeah, yeah, you're right. But I got to do something here, and I figured it'd be maybe entertaining. So we got brand new bottle of Crown Royal.

So I actually dropped off by some subscribers, dude, from Canada, was it? Yeah, they were on their way back to Canada, and they missed us while we were out filming, and then they left a note and this. It's just great. Like, little things like that. I reached out to him on Instagram. I said, yep, thanks for the crown. That's pretty cool. That's nice of them.

Hold on. So we can say every word but the F word? Yeah, you just can't say the F word. Shit, yeah, dude. CJ can't use his F-word substitute to fudge. Lodge? Okay, I won't. Why can't you use fudge?

Nah, because you could change it. You could catch yourself halfway. I like it. Ken from the back said you can't use your substitute word for the F word, fudge. And I think that you can only because you almost always say the F word and then right after, go, or fudge. Dude, I got that from the Christmas story. Yeah, I was wondering where that came from. I was going to use it yesterday in a subtitle for Fudge.

Somebody saying the F word in the video. And I was like, I feel like people watch. that would be like why did they use fudge i mean it's a we've done it a couple times you've done it a couple times and i it's i laugh when i see it but i'm just like i'd rather just not use it like just don't even just yeah it's just a little easter egg for somebody do other people around say fudge is it like a midwest thing why are you trying not to swear he just does it too much i'm not proud of how much i swear it's like it's like i was saying before you can pepper the right words in at the right times and it's great it's fine but then as soon as it's just like f word too much you're just

kind of like uh dang he likes that word a lot i'm pretty good at not swearing when it comes a when we're filming a youtube video i've programmed myself that way but on the podcast i'm not really thinking i'm just sitting and blabbing it on so i guess when i listen to it back i don't really feel that way i don't feel like i or you or really anyone swears where it's not uh like you know when some people just throw it in and you're like man you just love using that word but for i guess for us it's just having like a conversation just to be clear i don't swear when there's little kids around and stuff like that it's just the fact that we're here having a conversation with us you know if we're meeting someone new i don't start just blabbing on saying the f word and stuff like i'm very

it's just i don't know i've just gotten loose on the podcast and i'm so we're getting loose with booze This checks him back. Yeah, so he's done swearing, so he's going to start taking shots instead. If I do swear, then I ask you. That's a punishment. You're right. Like, if you were to actually get intoxicated, you'd probably start swearing more, yeah. Because you start slipping up.

Quit swearing, but I picked up drinking. It's always interesting when I see personalities that are like the kids type personality or make kid type content. And then I hear them on a podcast or meet them. Like Mr. Beast, like if you listen to him on podcast, loves using the F word. Yeah, he does. And I probably think more into it because he is so brand and kid friendly.

Yeah, you never hear him say anything. You would never hear him say like. He's like weirdly casual about it. You wouldn't even hear him say fake. When he's just getting interviewed like his Joe Rogan, he's weirdly, I'm like, I can't even believe he likes to swear. It just doesn't fit him, but it also does. Yeah, you think you just go to that much time.

It's not for you. I don't think you look right, swearing. You just don't have the image, man. You're not cool enough. That would be something we'd say to Mike. We'd be like, Mike, I can't swear. You don't got to look for it. I just shouldn't swear, Mike.

There's a TikTok sound that's, like, for guys riding dirt bike, and it's like, every time I see this guy rotting dirt bike, I think he's going to kill himself. And I think of Micah every time because it's, for some reason, we pegged you as an incapable rider, even though you probably are the best at wheeling. Better than me. Other than ever. And it's funny because I'd have to agree with that to an extent.

I try not to be too hard of myself, but I look at myself as an incapable rider. But then once I get in the zone, I'm like, I can ride. But then, like, sometimes I'll watch myself back or something. And I'm like, man, who the heck gave me a dirt bike? Yeah, you definitely have, like, the confidence in your, and you're doing it. It's like, man, are you so high? Catchy, dude. Watching you, I'm worried.

I feel like a parent watching it. I'm like, dude, he should not be doing this. Where Evan drops back and I'm like, more of that shit, Mike does it. I'm like, stop, stop. It's not worth the risk, Mike. It's not worth the risk. That, like, worries me more because I haven't had any loopouts or anything. So, I don't know.

I don't want to, obviously. This sounds so awful. It's the worst. I looped over when I was a kid. I was probably like 14, 15. Looped over. Going pretty fast. I skidded on like this P-Rock.

And I went through a jacket, like a overjacket, a sweatshirt, a t-shirt, and then into my skin. And I still have a scar from it. Toasted, too. Yeah. Oh, man. I was probably, I was probably doing like 40. Wow. You slid that far?

Yeah. I remember that. We were all riding back over by Lake Idaho. Because I think I was on my 150th time, and I want to say I was like fourth gear. I remember your parents were like, no more wheeling. Yeah. And then I think I got home, cleaned it out, and then we went and rode and probably didn't think twice about it. Yeah.

I remember they were kind of like, no more wheelies, but you were like, it's all I know, mom and dad. You know? I'm a wheelie boy. I don't know. I don't know that anymore at all. dude i can barely ride a wheelie on a big bike what is your guys's worst injuries mich what was do you have you had any your yeah that's my foot when we talked about that i think we have but basically riding in a ranger with a buddy and then we rolled it and you instinctually put your foot out

the roll cage landed on it and just destroyed it i broke like four crushed it four of the five toes that was definitely the worst by far like the surgeon it's one of those ones where she was like i did the best i could it wasn't even like i'm not joking that she's like you're up and they're just all standing there like eh she yeah i'm like how long was i out once i like came to it and it was she's like the surge ended up being six hours instead of three or whatever it was supposed to be and she's like it was jeez i did the best they could wow we uh yeah it'd be like just lie to me tell me it's great yeah we had to remove your penis Mike's like what what we'd take two inches off what that's all i had the good news is we

retouched it to your foot It's your small toe now. We took your baby toe now. If you don't have your baby toe, you don't have balance. So we figured you'd rather have balance than a dick. It's your big toe. It's your big toe.

That's funny. Yo, it wasn't big enough to use it as your big toe. We feel like it would have looked weird. That was before we actually knew you. So I never saw you during that time. Would your foot like a flab? Because I envision it if it got crushed and it was just completely crushed, was it just like a little flap?

think of it, that's the worst part. I had my foot sideways, so almost like... Owie. You know how your foot's flat? It was almost more of like a round baked potato. Did you black out from the pain? Yeah. Dude, that had to have been so swollen.

My foot's that broken. The craziest part was he doesn't know that just happened. He goes, dude, my dad's Ranger, we got to get it flip back over. Oh, my God. I hop back over on one foot. I'm like, all right, let's try it. Did you get... Oh, my God.

I don't know. If we, no, because then this people came and helped us because I'm like, dude, I don't know what's wrong with my foot, but I can't help you anymore. Literally, I know, then as soon as I get my shoe off, I just, like, got, like, super scared, you know. You know, look at your arm and it's all flabby or something. I cannot believe you were trying to walk on. I know, I know, I'm sure the adrenaline. I think it's bad. Yeah, the adrenaline.

And then once. Some people can do crazy things off of adrenaline when they're, like, seriously, seriously messed up. Yeah. I mean, it's the same thing of, like, a mom lifting a car off of their. their child it's so weird how that works like it's like i think it's the coolest thing to be honest that like not getting injured cannot be good for you though because the adrenaline just covers it up and then you mess it up even worse i mean that's possible that's for sure so how swollen was it it had to have been just a well then that's when i went in and they basically were like well we can't operate on

it now like it's mangled like you know the inside of your your muscles and everything so i had to sit for two weeks and just let it like wait why couldn't they they just couldn't operate right away they said get the swelling down and it like started going up and then my whole foot was just looked like a burrito dude it was huge does your foot ever hurt today still yeah it does only when soon we were jet skiing those four toes get so numb and like I feel like I'm gonna run into problems with that dude my foot obviously I didn't have nearly as bad of an injury as you yeah so tell you what happened to you when you broke your hurts yeah like still hurts and it's like really stiff like I feel like I need to like I don't know they need to like get a massager in

there and like almost like i don't know dude it hurts like i feel like i need to doesn't hurt you know you should do you think it needs like crack but i can't yeah you should do the same thing that i have done on my nuts i mean i don't know if it's that bad no dead ass because that breaks up inflammation oh maybe i do then yeah but i it would hurt so bad really yeah i get it done on my feet for reflex points and it hurts so bad really oh dude terrible so yeah what was your worst injury uh I fell off a piano bench when I was a kid, and I broke my arm. Why, you should never play piano. Yeah, piano is one of those sports.

I got to be one of the only people to ever break their arm on a piano. It's like your parents had to start you so early. They were just dangling. Yeah, we're pulling them out of music. Too dangerous. When I was probably like seven or eight, I was riding my TTIR 90, and I came over a hill, and my brother was coming home. over at the same time and he hit me and his peg was kind of at like the same level as my foot

oh and on impact it broke my foot so i'm like ah ah ah my foot don't tell mom and sam oh yeah goes seriously don't tell mom and dad and i'm like what do you mean i have a broken what am i supposed to do and he goes at the time did you know it was broken i'm sure uh i didn't know it was broken or not really bad he's like you're nine you'll get over it yeah And I was like, what am I supposed to tell him? And he's like, just tell him you fell. I was like, okay. So I go home and I was hobbling and they were like, what's wrong?

And I was like, I fell. And they were like, what do you mean you fell? And I was like, on a rock. And they were like, oh, okay. Well, let's go get it x-ray. It was broken. And I lived with that lie. I covered it up until about like three years ago.

I finally, I was like a little rat and I narked on him. Really? I felt like his time. I love stories. like that so did your brother get grounded yeah big trouble sam ran into natalie once too your sister when we're on the ely trip that's right it was just a reckless dirtbiker you run into people head on yeah left and right saying out the siblings one after another yeah i got hit after that so i'm sure if if my parents would have found out all right he took natalie out six months ago

that was little brother he's done we're putting him on the piano it is kind of funny getting injured doing things that like aren't injury prone like I think my worst injury was falling off the one wheel dude when CJ had to come and rescue me I was going on the one wheel going too fast and basically if you go too fast

it can't keep up and it just cuts out and I literally like baseball slid you're probably 23 mile an hour yeah we had to happen it was like 23 or something like that I just baseball slid in a t-shirt right down the highway it looked like he put down a motorcycle

It's something about the roads out here though They're like sharp because they put these little P-Rox into the hot tar for So that way you can have traction in the winter So they're sharp like it's not just Concrete or you know asphalt or whatever But it's like sharp little rocks in the road I'll tell you that shit hurts Dude it's basically like the roads around here like

Three Grit sandpaper Yeah literally like it's like giant P-Roc sandpaper so yeah that was pretty nasty I did that too. I fell on a longboard once. I remember I skinned up my hands and my boss at the time at the pizza place I worked at. She was like disciplining me because I couldn't make pizzas as fast because my hands were all skinned up. What do you mean? What was she doing?

I just, she was just upset that I was like out enjoying myself and I fell. Mike's output pizza output was already slow. You need to take this job more seriously. My pizza output was slow because I was a perfectionist and it was, I mean, it wasn't like a serious problem. but it was always like, yo, it looks great, but hurry up. I didn't know your pizza output was slow. I was just assuming. Didn't help that he showed up to work two hours late every day.

Yeah, so I had to, like, make extra pizzas. Did they actually make you? No, like they didn't need them. Back when you did have that job, though, Mike, so, you know, before we were all full time, we were still doing YouTube, but then we all had jobs we were doing on the side, and Mike would sleep in so much that his boss would call us. And then we would go and wake him up and then tell him to go into work. Keep in mind.

But they like you so much that they wouldn't fire you. You've got to be the only person ever. You're so lovable. Job after job. You're so lucky. So lucky. Go and work for Dave Sherbrook and he'll whip you into shape real quick. One time I was 20 minutes late to work.

I worked for Dave for four years, I believe. First time ever being late. And after four years, I think, I was 20 minutes late to work. Oh, my God. you would have thought that I murdered his wife. What do you do? I kicked his mom down the stairs. I don't know.

He just came and just screamed at me. It was looking back at it, I mean, it was a pretty normal Dave interaction. Just a peak madness. But I think after that, I was just like, man,

I'm over this shit. I got to start a YouTube channel. I thought you were going to say, man, I'm never going to be late again. I thought, I was like, maybe we need just.

Well, I wasn't really late ever. It was just like that one time. And I was just like, Hey, I made a mistake. I think I didn't set an alarm or something like that. Yeah. Classic. I guess in hindsight, yeah, I probably wasn't ever late again after that.

So, Mikey, you worked at Zorbas. No, you had all kinds of different jobs. But before, what was the last job you had before we started YouTubeing? Zorbas. It was Zorbas. Yeah. And that was like, that was an interesting time too because I'd like run myself so thin. Because just when you're working there, you start at 11 when they open and you just work

through both rushes and like if it's super busy you just keep working so i was like 11 to like 8 or nine and then after that i'd get off and like we'd go do stuff and i loved it there so much and you guys were like seriously like you don't have to work there anymore i was like yeah but like mostly just because it's one of those ones where they want to keep you there and like you're like i think i'm gonna be done and they're like can't you just do like three days a week sorbiz is like a pizza restaurant and bar yeah yeah so work back in the kitchen and it was super fun but it was just like like and I made pretty good money there but yeah that was a problem you took like a pay cut because you're like all right I'm like go full-time YouTubeing hopefully we make more but I'm

gonna make like literally a third as much money as I have been at the time yeah we're all like you know Ben worth it hit quit and we're like no dude if we do this we're only gonna be flat broke for the next three years if we all quit right now and we were man it's an interesting thought like at the time I wasn't making that good of money compared to now but I was like dude I'm I'm I'm like bartending, man. You know, I get a bunch of good tips. And then we had to go start at square one,

which this, none of this would be possible if we didn't take those risks. Exactly. I'm glad that we push, yeah, like you quit your summer job. We like kind of went and made CJ quit his job.

It's all pretty interesting. That isn't an old video. Probably a lot of people don't remember that one. And he really liked it there where he was working too. He really did. Free gym membership. Yeah. It was great.

I'd laugh thinking back to that moment. How then we were like, should we pull up? Should we take the Maver? So random, dude. So random. Dude, I think back to so many things that we did. I just go, why?

Yeah. Why did we do that? I guess I don't regret any of it because it led us to where we're at right now. And I'm pretty stoked. But then I'm like, well, shit, where would we be if we wouldn't have done half that messing around? It's just how it is. I still say it about stuff I did yesterday. Well, good job.

we're uh i don't know how long into the podcast nobody's sworn yeah or nobody's dropped an f-bomb and no it just hits like a certain point in the podcast and we just all do it we're just like screw this we just start partying yeah i don't know i feel like we are at least i can't speak for you guys but i feel like i'm almost having to think about what i'm saying a lot more and it's getting in my head just take the shot just say whatever you want then take the shot take the shot take the shot. This is going to have the best retention because I'm going to just get a little bit more hammered at the end of it. I'm going to be blacked out. Speaking of blacked out, I got C.J. blacked out the other day for his birthday. That was your doing? It wasn't my doing, but I was definitely a

catalyst to making it worse. And Alex was so pissed at me for doing it. But I was like, dude, it's your birthday. Got it. I was terrible. I mean, I think I had fun. To be fair, I didn't think you were that drunk. And I was like, dude, let's take. I got, I iced you and I asked Ken and I knew Ken wasn't going to do it, obviously. He never does. What? What? Ken loves Isis.

Anyway. You love ISIS, Ken? Um, and then, yeah, I got CJ a couple shots because it was his birthday, but little did I know everybody else also got him a couple shots. Yeah, it was like everywhere we were going. Honestly, they just pop up this video. This is probably going to be like the best representation of that night. I don't know.

Let me just show it to you. I went into Zorba's the other day, and I saw Brian, the owner, and I knew that I had been blacked out there, and I apologized. I said, dude, I'm sorry for whatever I did. And he goes, no, no, you're good, dude. You were just chilling. You were having a great time. You were great.

Thanks for coming. So I didn't do anything wrong. That's good. Which I'm glad. Happy birthday. I'm sleeping? Oh, it's a video. You were like a waving inflatable arm balloon man.

Dude But see you're chilling You're not like You know I knew what I was doing You just didn't You just didn't know what you were doing I just don't remember

Yeah I was fine That's funny though Yeah Well the thing is we got home I was brushing my teeth And I threw up in the sink Right as I was done brushing my teeth And then I brushed him again

In the sink Yeah I filled it up Like the whole fucking It was And then fuck I swore. Whoa. Oh, was that two?

I guess, yeah, you're right. Oh! You just said. That was really dumb. What song was that? I swore. It was. I don't know why that was my go-to, but it just felt right at the moment.

God damn it. Is it cold? So are you in the clear now? Because I kind of want to just, or you have to do it every time. You have to do it every time I swear otherwise it'd be just like one shot I was hoping I was hoping that you were going to just be like well now that you've already done it well now we're in the clear you know it's like that one of those things like you make the rule so then once once it bites you in the ass then you're like I was just joking anyways I do that all the time if you guys haven't noticed when I'm pulling the strings for like a video prank and then it somehow affects me I'm like wow it's not that deep you guys are thinking and do it too much It's true. It's the worst. There we go.

All right. I don't want to talk about this for very long. Last night at the concert, we went to Steve Aoki. He played in Fargo. It was his first time playing in North Dakota. I can imagine why. It had to have been the first time anybody's played in North Carolina. But we go there and this one of Jay's Ben's friend, one of his homies, I think his name is Jeremy.

But he goes up to me and goes, hey, you see CJ, let him know I went to Crisp and Green because he was talking good about it. I'm like, you got it, man. Dude, they didn't even start giving me a kickback. They can sponsor this darn podcast. I broke the street, by the way. Yeah, you did. Dude, today's Friday.

You got a chance, dude. I'm over it, man. I'm moving on. Really? Five guys now. Yeah. Nice. Burgers now.

It was a good run. Wow, what a switch up. I don't know. I'm just saying. What a switch up? I do like five guys, though. I usually go to Jimmy Johns. I really like Jimmy Johns.

I know a lot of people don't. A lot of people do. justify it yeah it's all good like to me it's just a good sandwich but a lot of other other people are like i'm not into like you know 11 bucks or 10 bucks or whatever it's like 12 bucks for a basic no no no no the the the good ones are around mine was 950 actually and with with the combo with the double no yeah but after taxes yeah and then you get the combo and but anyway i went there and jimmy johns is just not fast anymore it's not just take and i know they had to take that they had to take that uh yeah the freaky fast

freaky fast. Oh, really? Why? Because they're not fast. They were just, I go to a subway and it's twice as fast, dude. And I don't know if it's just our local towns, Jimmy Johns, but I swear, I'm investing like 25 minutes to go and get a sandwich. Instead of just training them to be faster or maybe like changing up the way they do

things, they're like, let's just take the sign down. Just take the sign down. Screw it. I think they were getting a lot of scrutiny because they marketed themselves as freaky fast. They used to be, though. They'd have that sub done by the time that you were basically folding your receipt up or crumpling it up. They would hear the order and just make it. Literally, what are they doing?

They're not even toasting that shit. Yeah, they don't even have like, what are they doing? Or anything special. That's why I'm just like, I used to eat Jimmy Johns before I had to have a hockey game because it was light. But if I'm hungry for a meal nowadays, like, I don't want anything light. I'm just going to go eat. So, but this 12 bucks for just something. No bashing Jimmy Johns is just about their stuff.

speed. Fair enough. I'm just kidding. Mike's keeping this open in case. Jimmy John's... It's good as you like it. I just... Yeah, that's my...

Did I mention that we love Jimmy Johns? Is that Chris and Greens? They just don't like... They don't like... They don't like have the people in the right places. So you know how every restaurant's pushing for mobile... They just don't have like... What do you mean, Mike?

I'm saying like how there's mobile orders. There's in-person orders and then there's drive-through. Well, guess what the one I went to today didn't even have a drive-thru? So I'm like, I'm going to put a mobile order in. I put it in before I entered the restaurant. Like, on my way. way there. And then I go in, I'm like, I had to wait in line and I go, I got a pickup order, assuming the just big, nice, hand me the sandwich. And she literally just goes, oh, you're Micah with

the, I haven't started that yet. But I'll start it right now. I'm like, why? Why? Like, and then the guy that ordered, Mike, you're dealing with another Micah. Right. But I mean, if I mean, if I worked at Jimmy Johns and had sandwiches to make, I would just like make them. Like, what else are you going to do? What about when you worked at the pizza shop? When you said that, Mike, I thought that you were standing behind. the desk just like scrutinizing like looking at how all of the things are laid out like this is all wrong the sink is in the wrong spot i was like what are you a design expert they need to move the hand over there yeah i don't know about all that i was it's like just their position you want to know what

this all comes down to though i don't know if it's just nowadays or if it's been like this for since the beginning of time i would assume it's getting worse just because you just look at how people are nowadays. People are just bad at their job. A lot of people are just half-assing their whole thing. Dude, so I had a lift. Our good friend, Mark, loaned me his boat lift for the summer because he doesn't have a boat for the summer. He didn't get one. So he's like, you can just use mine. So that way you don't have to buy one. And they'll deliver it because they had it at the lift place. So I was like, oh, great. I'll pay for it to be delivered, whatever. I don't know if they could have done any worse of a job. They must have just pushed it off the bar.

they didn't level it and then they pushed it facing the wrong way so like i can't like you can't put the boat onto it because it's literally backwards and it's a 10,000 pound lift you can't you can't move it yourself it's the biggest lift you can buy you need at least four guys in the water and i literally go look at it it was like crooked in sitting in the water i'm like they just left it they just left what's the story behind that have you ever heard anything it like startled me when i walked inside because i ran in to go change quick after we had done whatever bit we were filming that day and it was like there i knew they were going to bring it but uh j walks out there no no the reason why it scared me is because i there was like this metal object like this in the water out front

and i thought the dock had like gotten mangled by something but i was like oh it's what they do here and i go and look at i don't think they could have put any least effort in besides just not even bringing it as a whole maybe they look at at it like this cheap bastard doesn't even buy his own lift we're gonna just throw this thing in from them yeah no it's funny though because they do that and now they just bit themselves in the ass because they have to come back and redo it I would well they better I can't put my boat on it and now it's sitting in our shop but so yeah yeah shout out mark but also people need to just do their job better this another thing that happened the other day when we're editing Ken went and got us

lunch at actually i don't want to cause problems so just blank that out i asked for extra sauce on the wings and they gave me like less sauce than normal i was just like what we have three places to eat around here and cj's not trying to piss one of them off i love them all i love them all but i just was like come on like this sucks you just charge me in probably 20 bucks for these and you you know just do your job i think it just comes down to certain people care as much as they're getting paid and a lot of them just aren't getting paid that well. I don't even think it's that because you start paying people more,

they just get used to it. It doesn't necessarily make them care or work harder. Yeah, but if you put certain people in control and they have a little bit of authority over people and they care a little bit more, then they might take responsibility for their work. But if they're like bottom of the barrel and they don't give a shit, whether your docks in or in straight,

sideways upside down they're getting the same paycheck at the end of the day and it just kind of comes back on their piece of shit boss if their boss choose them out that sucks but like I don't know it's probably it's just management at a certain degree because a lot of these companies 100% that we work with we've seen get bigger and bigger and bigger and they used to be so good and they got big because they're so good and now they're huge and they suck they can't manage all these people they can't manage all these people and they don't have you know they don't have people in control because everybody is just like nobody really knows what's going on. You start hiring people that don't care or they're not invested.

The biggest thing is being invested. I remember back when I worked at Courts Plus and Fargo, which was a gym, I worked like the front desk and did a bunch of other stuff on there too. But I always did a good job, not because I was getting paid a lot. I was getting paid $10 an hour. But because the manager, my boss, was a nice guy to me. He was very cool. He was a nice guy, and I didn't want to let him down, you know?

So I would always make sure I did my job right. Whereas I go back and I look at the job prior, I was washing cars. And they just, they treated me like trash there, dude. Like they didn't. I mean, I didn't care that much then, you know. They also didn't even care if the cars were not getting done that good. I don't know. Or maybe people are just getting worse at work.

I don't know. I wonder a team goes to management for sure. I think, yeah, I think you guys are right. I think management is like so important because like you say for your boss and whatnot and that trickles the whole way down. But I also wonder if it's just, we're getting older. You know when you're a kid and you like look at your parents, you're like, this person has everything figured out. You see like a high school. You're like, man, they know everything.

And then now we've reached the level where we're dealing with people. Like never before have you had to hire a doc person to put the dock in because you either did it yourself with your dad, but you've never had that problem. when we've never had all these new problems from where we're getting stuff from and what we're doing. So maybe it's just everybody's always sucked at their job. People just suck. You're right.

That's probably the best way to look at it. People just suck and now we just have to deal with it. That's probably the best way. Yeah. Yeah, because when you're younger, you don't really have to deal with that much stuff. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great point.

I was thinking about that earlier too. People always blame things not working. Like, oh, sorry, I'm late on this. COVID. like they blame everything on that like COVID yeah like uh oh sorry your order's late this can't get it here like yeah people have been used they're still using that excuse and I'm like if you're still using that excuse now you just did not prepare well enough I just like they just trickle down sometimes you think of a backstory sometimes like I'd like to think

for your your boat lift that that their barge like broke down and they needed like they had more pressing I'd like to think they start raining and yeah I was trying to come up with scenarios, too. So I like to try to think of that. As far as, like, my sub at Jimmy Johns goes, that, that just does come down. I'm sorry, I just didn't. Yeah. I haven't started it yet.

Odds are somewhere along the line of the things getting done. Someone is having a bad day. Yeah. That too. Yeah, man. I always have a lot of respect for these companies, the owners of these companies, bringing on so many employees, but making these employees feel special. Like when we went to custom offsets, when we first started working with,

them the CEO Sean had a way of just speaking to the employees that made them all feel like this isn't i'm not an employee i am custom offsets like i am not just a number here like i matter and dude clearly it worked because it's an insanely successful company now that just comes down to like Sean being a really really good leader yeah he talked with us for a long time too and like he cared he did yeah it comes down to caring and working hard. Yeah. If you don't care and you aren't a hard worker, just things aren't going to work.

So me and CJ spent the day with our grandpa Ron a legend this week. Yeah. But a, you have like a picture of it, this Mustang that you guys went and helped them pick up is just so funny to me. I'm not saying that the car is funny or stupid or silly looking. It's just like, I didn't even know that they made Mustangs that looked like that. It looks like an Oldsmobile. Yeah.

But it's a convertible. It's got to be like an 88. Yeah, something like that. It was kind of in the era where Mustangs just weren't, like, they're not that cool, but it's sentimental. Right. To be fair, Mustings have really never been cool, except for, like, recently. Yeah, yeah.

No, our mudsting, our Mudstang body. And then now, but I agree, other than that. Our Mudstang body skip all of them up until, like, Mustangs today. In 2004, when they, or it might have been in 2005, whenever they did, they made the the change to kind of like the similar body style that they have now. I remember it being just like crazy. It was super cool.

I remember our neighbor, someone went and dropped him off and the whole neighborhood was looking at it. So anyway, you guys were hanging with Gran Peron. Yeah, we got to spend the day with Grandpa Ron, which is always fun because growing up,

me and CJ learned a lot from Grand Paran just because he's one of those guys that's like insanely witty. And he's always got like a comebacker or a response. And he's just a bullshitter. Yeah, and he's a salesman. And, yeah, I don't know. Me and CJ have gotten a lot of, like, our humor and kind of just how we bullshit with people from him.

When I was a kid, he told me that you need to know how to bullshit in life. Like, I remember him telling me that. And I was like, that's so funny. But it's true, though. It's true. As you get older, it's very important. And then he also cracks a beer and goes, also, you need to learn how to drink one of these. You'll thank you later.

Yeah. I'm like, eighth grade. Yeah, no. It's so true, though. Because if you got a guy who can actually talk and isn't a dweeb, not that there's anything wrong with being dweeb, but, like, they're good to be around. They're fun to be around, and he is fun to be around.

Dwebs? No, Grandpa Rons. Oh, people that can bullshit. Well, it's like, let's say you got a guy for the job, and he is going to be Ken's shipping partner. Uh-huh. But he is just so straight-laced and just, you know. Deweeb.

He's, yeah, he's. He's kind of a dwee, but he's a good guy. Yeah. And there's nothing wrong with him. Right. But then you got a guy who's like, you, um, Ben, obviously. Roth, yep. But looking for a job to be shipping.

Okay. You would hire you just because it would be fun to hang out with or any of you guys, you know? Like it would be fun to hang out with you because you're going to be cracking jokes. You can go out and get food with them later. Like you don't mind hanging out with them. Yeah. And that's kind of what I think he was saying. For sure.

He's got friends with everybody, and he makes friends of everyone. He makes friends with everyone, and he's just a salesman at heart, dude. He'll be selling things. He'll be selling things that he's not even making commission on, but he's just selling things because that's all he knows how to do. Yeah. He'll sell somebody else on something that we own, and we're not even selling. You're like, shit, I guess we're selling it. Yeah.

So funny, but, yeah, we want to film a prank. I don't know if we want it. Do we want to out our idea? I think we can say it, yeah. So last year we got the golf cart. Well, Mike got the golf cart. after he absolutely Yardyed it, launched it,

and we put the train horns on it. And last fall, we tried filming this prank video where we went to a golf course and we're dressed as golfers and we train horn other golfers on the golf course, but you can't see the train horn so they don't know where it comes from. Yeah.

Super hard prank, and we never actually ended up pulling it off. It worries me. It worries me too, but you've got to choose whoever you're going to train horn wisely. Because it's very loud. Very loud. We did it on the last day that the golf courses were open around here last year.

Of like our local country club. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the one that I grew up playing at, not going back there. That man, it's, yeah. Well, nothing wrong. But if we go over there and we train horn, you're probably going to get thrown out. Exactly.

Yeah, yeah. So it didn't end up working. So we're going to do it again this spring or coming up soon. And we were like, man, it'd be really funny if we got Grandpa Ron, who's a golfer. He lives on a golf course. All of his buddies are golfers. It would be really funny if we went golfing with him And he was a part of the prank

And he trained horns people Because they would never expect it coming from him Right If he's sitting in the golf cart with one of us It'll just be like, oh, what must not have been? Like you're going to look around Be like it had to have came from somewhere If it's us and we're dressed

How we are normally dressed Right They're going to think Those guys are fucking with me Foggia Those guys are messing with me Take a shot That's funny

Yeah exactly So it would just be hilarious because then when they do come up and they're like, was that you? Grandpa Ron's going to have some witty response because he's funny he's a funny character and um, what if people love them? They'll take it better. Sorry. But what

if it's like an old guy? More unlikely the old guy wouldn't pick a fight with us, but he sees Grandpa Ron thinks, I could probably take him and they get in a fight. Grampo would scrap. I know he would. That's what I'm worried about. Dude, our grandpa Ron is almost 80. What? Dude, he's just chilling was too. He doesn't look at it. Day over 69. I want to just, like, bring him around and start doing more stuff with him and, like, filming.

I wish we would have been filming when we were hanging out with him because he was telling us so many funny stories. Like this one story, hopefully it doesn't mind me telling. Apparently, well, we were walking into Benny Hana, and this truck, another bad worker, he was on construction job. They were doing construction, and us three are walking, and Ken, Ken came with, and we're walking across the parking lot street, and we clearly were, like, in the middle of the street. we were way ahead of this truck and this truck comes flying in and literally goes around us while we're in the middle of street

like he could just wait three seconds and then he just parks right here like he he made no sense and grandpa Jesus Christ yeah and I was even like what the heck and Graham goes one time a guy did that to me back in whatever year

I kicked in both his doors what do you say he said something like that I was like why didn't I have the camera go this doesn't count because I'm just rephrasing what he said, but he goes, well, don't you learn how to fucking drive, kicks the door in, and then the guy was like, why'd you do that?

And he goes around, kicks the other door, and he goes, what are you going to fucking do about it? And then he walked in, the guy didn't do anything. Which is so funny, because Grandpa Ron is not like an angry person. He's always laughing. He probably laughs more than any, anyone I know, always laughing when we're with him. So that's why I just picture him getting just heated about that.

I feel like it was a different time probably when he did that. Yeah, it was probably like 2012. Oh, yeah. It probably wasn't that much. If we do the thing with your grandpa at the golf course, like think of him doing it and then a golfer like realizing and then seeing your grandpa cackling laughing. Like that other guy similar to his age can't not laugh at that.

Like they're going to just be like, oh, a fellow older guy who likes to golf played a prank on me. The thing is, but he sees us douchebags sitting there. They'd be like, screw those guys. I'm calling the course. That might get a better reaction. True. I have to do a couple of both.

But yeah, he is such a character. I hope he doesn't mind us. No, that's a fine story. That's a cool one. Well, I have another one. Grandpa Ron is technically, like me and CJ's step grandpa. He just, like, married my grandma back with my mom and his dad were, like, teenagers. Anyway, but before my grandma.

But he's like our grandpa. Right, right, right, right. Like, they've been married for like 45 years. Before he was married to my grandma, he got married at like 21 or something like that, was with this lady, then I think got divorced, and then ended up getting remarried to this lady, and then got divorced. And then after the second time getting divorced, his twin brother. Not his twin.

Oh, his older brother then married her. What? Yeah. And here's the funniest part. they all come to family Christmas with me and CJ What? Wow Yeah

Okay okay Hold on Grandpa Ron Grampor Ron Gets divorced from the second wife Let's just say her name is Shelley And so the brother then Went for the second wife

Or the first wife Sorry sorry Sorry okay Ron marries Shelley Ron and Shelley get divorced Ron remarries Shelley Ron and Shelley get divorced Wait

They got remarried again Yes, Ron married her twice. Oh, so it wasn't different people. No, no, no, no, no, same person. Same person. Oh, man, this just seems like being together with extra steps. Yeah, so then they get divorced for a second time, and then Grandpa Ron's brother marries Shelley.

Wow. And now they all came to family Christmas for the past 30 years. I mean, so obviously now it's fine. Yeah, it's extremely civil. And for the longest time, I didn't even know, like, oh, this grandpa's ex-wife. I knew. the two marries. Yeah.

Trying it again and then she's like, I thought we were really close that time. It still didn't work out, but I'd like to stay in the family. Yeah, I guess. It's a good family. Rattled. Yeah.

It's crazy. How strange, huh? You think you'd be mad, but it was just chill. It'd be like if my little brother married my, or started dating my ex-girlfriend, I wouldn't be mad about it. I'd just feel bad for him. Yeah, that's what he says.

Yeah, it means. CJ, we're getting the lowdown this week and we're like, so like, what were you thinking? Like, how'd you feel? And he goes, I was just fucking glad it wasn't me. I felt bad for him. Wasn't I going to do that a third time. Yeah. I mean, that's true.

I got everything out of the way, you know. I wouldn't imagine that there's much envy or jealousness or. Good for them, no, because they could have probably literally gotten so pit. Like, that story could have got one or two ways. They're cool. They're at every family Christmas or he shot him after that. Or they never speak.

That doesn't happen to our family. No, no, not your family. But, yeah, it's this possibility. All right, last thing on Grandpa Ron, it's just really funny since you are taking shots for having a potty mouth. But my mom was like, she listened to some of the podcast, and I told her, I was like, yeah, it's a lot more, it's more explicit than the videos are. She's like, yeah, I just, you know, CJ in particular, he's got a little bit of a potty mouth. I'm working on it. And then she watched the, just no, whatever, no, she didn't watch that, but watch the video where you guys.

break grandpa on's TV. Yeah. And she's like, well, I saw the video. And so that's hit their grandpa, right? I kind of can see it, you know, growing up around him, you're going to, he had to have influenced him in some way. And I definitely think he did for sure. Yeah.

So that's so funny. Yeah, bro, he will walk into his place at, I mean, whatever time. Nothing crazy really, but he's like, boys want a beer. Rona's, he's always got bottled beers, too. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. He has, he has always has.

a mixed up full carton of a screwdriver so half vodka half vodka half orange juice really yeah always has a carton of that mixed up in his bridge honestly though like if we could be if we are even like half of as like cool as granper on we would have so many friends because everyone just wants to hang out with him yeah man it's so funny well we've met so many of his friends just because he's always hey you got to meet this and i'll get a ride out to your shop from my buddy lenny and And, yo, you guys love Lenny. Oh, I can't wait to introduce you to Lenny. He's good shit.

They walk in and grandpa, hey, this is great boys. This is Lenny, Lenny, boys. That's my grandson and CJ and Ben. Oh, stay clear. These are mother, these little fuckers, they'll take advantage of it. No, I'm just doing it. Come on. So quick, dude.

Anybody need their teeth pulled? He's a dentist. Yeah, he's a dentist. And then Lenny's standing there just like, man, I feel bad for you guys. You got to deal with this shit bag. Yeah, but he's like, oh, says you, motherfucker. Yeah, yeah. It's something.

It's so funny. It'll be like us when we're old, probably. Hopefully. I hope we're like that. That'd be cool. It'll be the best. It's really funny, though, because Grandpa Ron drinks alcohol like a fish. Or I guess, well, he told me it's CJ.

He doesn't drink as much anymore, but loves beer. Well, he always been. He totally likes anything. He'll drink anything. He'll drink anything. But for the longest time, we always looked at, like, our. other grandpa as like the healthy healthy one and uh and then because he's like a carpenter he takes really good care of himself right then we got grandpa ron over here screens everything yeah yeah has a

really good diet doesn't drink any alcohol and we got grandpa ron over here drinking beer you know he doesn't care what he eats and all this stuff and dude he's crushing it for being 80 still playing golf still going on road trips hopping up in our big ass truck like serious yeah i felt bad for him because he had to ride with us in our we had the ram but even the ram is like that's hard it's hard it's so high it's hard i would say it's almost harder because there's no step out of it and get back in i was like god dang i i yeah but i mean he took a like champ he didn't even care i should have i should have gave a pole in my gtr but i don't know he doesn't really like driving fast you should do that and film it because i still think his reaction will be great i will i'll go

do that he'll be i should do a poll with my mom you guys ever see the video when i It was so bad that it was just, like, too much. Yeah, where she was, like, so terrified that it... Stop! Stop! That was a lot. That was kind of hard to watch. Yeah, it was like, her reaction was so extreme that it wasn't even funny. And that was not fake.

No, no. I cut most of it because I was like, this is just hard to watch. Yeah. So, uh... Man, we should have Grandpa Ron on the podcast. I would be fine. I love that. It'd be tough because no one really knows who he is.

No, I know. It would just be... Does it matter? It would be funny. But I think at the same time, he would do so well. I don't think it matters because he'd be so entertaining. He'd tell funny stories about when we're kids. He's got so many stories.

I don't know how he can remember all this stuff. I don't even remember what I was thinking. What's like a funny story you guys got that's like something crazy? Not a lot of people know. Wow. That is so very vague. Vag. Like what's the first thing that comes to your mind of something you did or something that happened, you know, whatever?

I got a pretty good one, I'll tell you, and then we can build out of this. So, you know, I'll keep it short. When I was in the ninth grade, I used to always go over to my friend Jason's house. He doesn't mind me telling he's good, good stuff. We would all stay there. We didn't drink or do anything. We were just play video games, whatever, but at night, we for some reason, and maybe it was eighth grade.

I don't know. It might have been younger, probably younger in ninth. But for some reason, it was fun to sneak out the window. Maybe it was seventh. I don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Young enough where you didn't have a car

So you'd hop out the window We'd hop out the window We'd always plan until like two in the morning For some reason And we'd like get out And he lived in Fargo And it was just town And we would go and walk around on the street

And it was fun And we never vandalized anything Or did anything wrong But we'd just walk And it was really fun Because there'd always be cops and stuff And we were young enough Where we were past curfew

So we'd have to lay down In the grass Or like you'd see a car coming You'd go and hide And it was just exhilarating. And anyways, we were going to our other friend's house. His name was Logan. Bleep one of those hearts.

And we were going to, like, scare him or something. We're going to knock on his window and troll him. So me, him, and our friend Isaac go walking across, like, a long ways. It took us a long time to get there. And we start knocking. We're going to go knock on his window and hopefully scare him or something. I don't know. but his dog was outside his dog started barking like the light turned on we take off tearing we tear off

so we're all right we're going home okay we're done for the night we're walking across this busy street literally standing in the dead center of an intersection with lights the road is dead and we turn and look to our right there's a cop and he's just sitting there looking right at us and we look at him and it just pauses time stops and like we were kind of right here and he was like right here and i just see him turn his wheel like right at us but he's still sitting here's and we all go run and we take off running so we go tearing off and uh there's this soccer field over here and there's like this library and then these like ghetto apartments a guy had just gotten shot there a week prior and we go tearing off in this field he's tearing off behind us he got his lights on uh he had like a mic yeah he had his lights on

He had a microphone. I don't know why he was going so hard on us. Just one of those cops. But also at the same time, we probably looked pretty guilty of whatever we were doing, being that we were running. So we go tearing off. We get to this field. And his tires were squealing, dude.

And he's like, hey, stop right there. And we get in this field, and we go dive. And we're laying in the grass. We got our hoods up. Boom. And it's this big soccer field. Pretty soon all I see is a spotlight. I'm like looking back.

Spotlight comes on. He's got one of those little things on his mirror. And it's like, I love what CJ tells this story, and he gets to the flashlight part. That's my favorite part. It's like going across the field. And then we all look down.

It goes past the second, and there's go, right, right? And we stand and we're like, run. We get up and we start running. And for some reason, Jason's leg stop working because he was so scared. And he gets up, falls. Gets up, falls.

Okay, so maybe that makes movies a little more realistic. It was hilarious. It was hilarious. He couldn't walk to save his life. He was falling over the place. You know, people in movies when they're running away. I'm like, why did you fall now?

You're, like, going to get stabbed. Yeah. But they get so scared. Their legs stop working. So then there's, like, these townhomes, and the cop just goes, like, apparently that guy didn't want to run after us. I don't know. Lazy.

Anyways, he goes, push the pedal of the floor. It does, like, a perfect don't know. It was pretty sweet. Like, that thing had to have been rear wheel drive. It was like, uh, and he tears off. And there's these townhomes right here. and the road that runs right next to it and we're on the back side of it

and it's like he starts driving next to us and there's cars and we're running and then I go turn and we turn this way and we start running this way we probably ran a mile and we ended up getting away and that was like a crazy moment I guess and we got to the house and Jason and I were tweaking like oh my God because because we

we got back and I was all happy and Jason goes he's kind of a paranoid guy he's like the cameras there's cameras on the street lights we are done we're done like they know us like we were we're all wearing our high school sweatshirts and stuff and i was like oh my gosh like it was like i was here and then i was back here and Isaac could not have cared less he went inside and slept like a baby and i'm not kidding you he had a small smile on his face while he's i'm dead ass serious he was sleeping like this like a baby and jason i stayed up all night just Googling if you run from the police and you get away but they have you on camera

can you still get in trouble and we're it's like you're looking at two years and j like all this stuff you know when we're like we are in so much trouble you imagine they're what fargo PD's watching this right now we got them we got them and i was he got them so i go back to school and i was all worried because we were wearing our school sweatshers that they were just if they actually had the cameras they probably didn't even care uh that they were going to go to the high school and be like, hey, we have these pictures of these kids. Who is it? And they'd be like, that's them.

But never happened. Got away with it. Didn't tell anyone. Didn't tell anyone at school. We had like a packway. We can't tell anyone because people start talking. They're going to, you know, rat us out. Rad us out.

And we kept our lips sealed. And now I'm on this podcast telling it to however many people. I always remember if that happens, if it's like your first defense. Granted, you guys were running. He had his lights on, dude. It was full on running. They usually just go like. what are you doing out, and then they put you in the back of their car and bring you home.

It might have been that big a deal. It might have been nice. You could have gotten to ride. But it's still traumatizing. We would have gotten in trouble because it would have had to bring us to our house. Our parents would have gotten woken up. Yeah. We would have gotten in trouble.

It would have been a whole deal. But obviously once you started running, now we're facing a whole other thing. Right. You're committed. We risked it. And we got away with it. Hirsted for the biscuit. Do you guys remember that feeling of like being a kid and you do something wrong night before?

And it might be as small as, like sneaking out in that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you're like oh i hope or or if you just got in trouble just whatever and you just know your parents are mad at my mom came the worst feeling my mom had to pick me up and i had like an hour of sleep because i was tweaking all night google and trying to figure out what was going to happen to us and she comes to pick us up pick me up and i had to go wherever we were going that day and she was like what's wrong didn't get much sleep probably thought i was like out drinking you're like i really wasn't doing anything bad besides for out walking around and then we ran from the cops but yeah literally it was one

cop but yeah screw that guy honestly that feeling it's like it could be anything getting in trouble doing anything and you just genuinely feel like that's why also kids will do dumb things to cover up that's the worst you know they'll cover up and they'll get deeper and then when it's all uncovered which usually happens and usually doesn't take very long they look like a big fat yeah I mean, dude, everyone when you were a kid would lie. You know, like you just would lie for no reason. It's so dumb. Yeah, so dumb.

And then one day, you just get, well, you were probably getting caught all along, but you get caught. And you're at the age where you're like, what am I doing? This is embarrassing. And then you're just flat out embarrassed. And then you're like, I'm done lying. And you stop lying. Some people don't do that. And they just keep lying and they're fucking 23.

Shoot, dude. God, dang it, dude. How many shots is this? Five, four. Oh, I didn't even hear that one. I didn't even think about it either. I'm my only one having to take these. You're the only one.

You got a potty mouth. As a potty mouth. CJ, I'm pretty good. I think I'm pretty good to catch myself. I don't swear around kids. I don't swear around kids. I don't hang around kids. I don't talk to me.

I was just like, but kids around us all the time. My go-to when like a young kid comes up to me in like a store or wherever I'm at. And they're clearly little, like elementary school. I always go. You can tell by the way that they aren't full grown. Obviously.

I always go. They're little by me offering them a beer and they don't accept it. Knowing how ages, but I tell they're young. I go, what are you in junior, senior in high school? And they go, first grade? No, really? Are you joking to me? 18, 16, 17?

And the mom's always sitting there like, smile. They think it's funny. It's just my. I need to come up with something new. But yeah. My cousin is a math teacher, and she texted me this week. And she goes, hey, I've had to tell three kids to stop watching your podcast during class. So can you talk about math?

And I was like, no, because that'd be awful. And I don't know how to teach that. Two plus two is four. But she's going to love this. If she comes in, she's like, what are they doing now, swearing and drinking? Quit lying, man. And quit swearing, kids. Yeah, that's true.

There's a lesson in all. It's a lesson. It's good quality educational content. Dude, I did not want to do this one, honestly. Like, I had stuff to do after this. Right, and it's, now I'm just... Also just, that's like, count that out. Full-blown, that's purebred, just crown.

That's nothing like light, you know? No, it's just gross. So I'd say it's your four or five in. Yeah. I'll be driving you to dinner tonight. I cannot believe I'm losing at my own... I mean, I can't believe that, but I just can't believe I'm the only one who's had to...

They suffer the consequences of my own. game yeah at the end when we wrapped this up i'll take one with you but he's just like well i don't want to take anymore then got through it by imitating grandpa ron yeah just talk is grandpa ron for the rest of the podcastings well you want that's what he said one time yeah i just used him as a total crutch it's like i'm itching i'm like a heroin addict you guys ever did you ever ever go on omegal or is it omigo omegal yeah oh and talk to strangers so weird it was always just old guys I guess I just had to Yeah, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let's unpack that a little bit.

If you don't know that, then you never went on it. Wait, that, you never went on it. You actually talked to old guys that were just going to. No, no, you didn't talk to them. Well, they'd skip you, bro. They didn't want to see you. That's true. I don't know what they're looking at it was.

It was so weird. It would have been when I was in like sixth grade. Yeah, I was in six years. YouTube wasn't like super popping. You would play like addicting games or you would go to. Cool. There was a lot of. different websites where you could go to watch videos or play games or you would if your friend

I never had one had a web webcam so it's like this little cam you buy it best buy for like 20 bucks and you set on top of your computer and then you could go on these random chat room websites and it's just random um there's talk to strangers it was so dumb it was fun though if you if you would like run into I don't know why it was fun but for some reason if if you ran into like a group of girls that were your age it was like you'd be stoked grand you're never going to meet these people in your life did you have to go through to get to a group of girls that's the thing oftentimes you'd end up just skipping through a bunch of guys jacking off yeah a lot of dicks yeah i don't even know if it's still a thing it was weird well it is and that's what i was kind of leading to your story so

how do you know they were jerking off you saw their dick they're just live just it's just right on their dick and jerking off obviously you were too young you were too young to probably No, sometimes they'd be on it. Sometimes, yeah. They'd, like, be jerking it, and you'd pop on and be like, and they'd like stop for something. And then one of you would be like, I'd have to agree. The ones that they put their face in is just like, it makes it extra weird because if they see, you see them. Dude, people used to make, like, catch a charge from that.

You know what we should do? We should all dress them as police officers and go on it. Oh, holy crap. We got them. Yeah, and just say that. I just start trolling people. You probably can't hold them long enough to get a good. Then get out of there, turn their computer off, throwing in the river.

They'd skip it. At least have quit some jacking off to a 14-year-old girls on Omega. And that's the other crazy thing. So let's say however old we were at the time 14, 15, like, dudes is one thing. But girls like to go on it too. I wouldn't necessarily say alone, but they would go on there as groups. It was always, sorry. Stop chewing into the mic.

What's he eating? He's got the munchies. What's you do? just eat. Trail mix? You got trail mix that you're going to interrupting Mike story. Sorry.

So you can still use. It was a group thing though. I think now it's starting to get bigger in my opinion. And so people go on Omega and stream, but they go on there and now they can have better mics, better setups, better cameras. And so I just came across, I'm going to go with him first,

but he's a YouTuber. His name is the dude. I think he normally games, but I came across him because he's a guitar player. And it's so impressive. He's easily like one of the best guitar players I've ever seen. If Ken could pull it up,

it's like incredibly impressive. I have a question. Did you come across him on Omega? I didn't. No, I don't use Omega. But it's just... Mike was just on yesterday. It's also interesting.

Just talking to random people. So let me get to know you a little bit. It was a bummer because, uh, yeah, I was jacking off and he didn't like that. He skipped through me really fast. I didn't get to hear him play that much. So he plays guitar.

I'm like, oh, this guy must play guitar. He goes on Omega and then impresses the shit out of people. However, a bunch of people recognize him Like, I mean, obviously he only puts the best ones in his videos But a bunch of people are like, no, no, no way, no, don't skip, don't skip Are you the do? And then he'll be like, ah, yeah, maybe.

And they're like, no way, no way. Dude, I can't believe, can you play me a song? And they're just like stoked. And I'm like, okay, this guy must be a big deal. Yeah, I was like, and then I started looking at all of his other content. And he only plays guitar, like he only drops his guitar, Omega video like once a month maybe. He's mostly playing games. playing he's one of those YouTubers that are streamers or whatever he plays games and he says

the most offensive like jokes like he's like Justin dark meme type jokes and just all this stuff they're saying I cannot believe that they're even like saying this and then I realize that they don't show their face guys I think we're really on to something we get police costumes that's pretty funny and we try to catch them but then we try to hold them up we're like don't skip otherwise your sentence is going to be worse yeah and then we wait we just hold them Can you get in trouble for impersonating? Not when you're doing something like that. You're doing a good deed.

Community worker. Okay. I mean, it's not this one, but this is him. And why she? That's a pretty good-looking girl to be on Omega. That's like what you want to run into when you were a kid. Why would a good-looking girl like that ever just hop on Omega? I don't know.

They're weird. Are people actually lacking human interactions that much that they want to just go and talk to random dudes with the chance of seeing a guy jerking? They probably like that. It's mostly, it's not, I don't think it's necessarily either to talk with people. It's to be entertained because there's more, you know, people on there just entertaining people. So many people have so much time, especially when you're a young kid. Yeah, but she's not young.

I would, she's like 23. She's looking for love. She's a tax-paying citizen. I would love some sound on this. Yeah, this is totally fake. She's way too good looking to me on it. Okay, then that's just, but they're not fake. This one might be, but they're not usually.

Okay, what about Harry Mac? Okay, I was going to, yeah, I was going to bring him. I know you guys have heard of him before. Harry Mack, I mean, we didn't really get to find out about the dude, but like, really, who cares, whatever. That last video just had 20,000 comments. Wow. With 1.7 million views with 20,000 comments.

If you laugh at this video, seek help, and they, like, play games and do just the stuff they get away of saying. But it's him and his, like, let's say three buddies, none of them ever show their face, ever, in their entire career, basically, of YouTube. They never, ever show their face because if they did, they would be like, they've said, like the worst dead baby jokes yeah like that so they never show their face yeah like that dude looking at the views he should just only do guitar videos i think it's hard because it takes them a while to compile it all right where's the double guitar one views five million four million

is probably pretty hard with all the dixie has to see dude you know how easy that'd be if you were someone who faked your stuff you'd just be like all right i need a good looking girl to go on omega we'll skip through until i get to you yeah like look at that one we'll make a quick little clip and it'll go viral and I'll make X amount of dollars and I'll give you a little bit like this setup seems real 25 million views I turn it up

dude they're just people just freak which I could see why if you came across him you'd be like stoked and he can play anything they say play Juice World play this solo of this song And he could never have heard the song before, ever, and he just listens to it. And then he plays it.

I don't understand how. I was going to say, I wondered if he was also faking the guitar. But there's no way he could get all these guitar clips. Like this one, he could because he's just picking one. But when someone's like, play Juice World. And then he just rips it. Just an interesting way to make content. Go on there, get people's reactions.

Obviously, he's incredibly talented. But it seems like he mostly plays video game. but also Harry Mac, a freestyle rapper, which I, if you just haven't seen him, you just got to go check him out. His Omigo stuff is my favorite. He just go, they give him three random words, and he just wraps and wraps and wraps and raps and goes and goes. And he's so good.

How is he not like, why doesn't he just start making music? Because he's like, I don't really want to make songs. I make a ton of money staying on YouTube and freestalling. He's like, I like, I don't want to be signed by record because everyone on Omega is like, dude, you're insane. How do you not have a record deal yet? He's like, I don't really want that. Yeah.

So it's just wild that he's just like, yep, I'm just going to stay streaming and uploading on YouTube. And like that's his thing. I just saw a video from today actually on my Instagram, but he did impresses. If you haven't seen Harry Mac, you got it. I love it because when he goes up to the people, he's like, hey, can I freestyle for you guys? And they'll be like, uh. Yeah, they see. Yeah, sure, I guess.

You know, it's like every, you know, you just assume it's like a waste of your time. and it's going to be garbage, and then he gets going, and you can just see their face turn around. And that's the best part, yeah. Because he'll say, give me, but he, it's so random. He goes, give me a word or give me a couple words. And then he'll just do it. And he'll go for minutes.

My favorite is when he uses those three words and then makes a chorus. Like he'll use the three words, rhyme them all, do the chorus, then rip a bunch of verses, then go back to the chorus, all off the top of his head. Yeah, man. It's insane talent. Musicians are insanely talented people. Even people that can just shred on the guitar.

It's like, dude, that is an art that takes so much time. I feel you got to be a certain type of person. So much respect for it. And I feel like, dude, it could have been me. Except for you fell off that piano. It could have. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Your parents took the piano away from you. Yeah, man. No, actually, though, I took piano lessons for like eight years. I don't know if your guys' parents made you take piano lessons when you were a kid. They did. I don't wish they would have. long time. I think I quit maybe when I was like 15 or 16

and, uh, dude, I never, ever got better because I never practiced. Yeah, it's practice. I took piano lessons for eight or ten years and I can't play the piano. Dude, I wonder, like, we went to the same person.

That's awesome. Did you go to Doris? Yes. You did? Yeah. Okay, so Doris, I had to go to, I went to her too. Doris was your piano teaching. Yes, she was like 95 years old. She was extremely old. Pink hair. very, very nice. She lived in the trailer park, and for me, I didn't like it

because I would have hockey practice after and I was a little kid. I didn't want to go to piano and I didn't want to go to hockey and my parents would make me go to both. It was like I'd go to school all day, which sucked. I'd come home while the other kids

were like getting to play or do whatever they want, and I'd have to put my hockey gear on and then go to piano because it was such a tight, so I had to practice piano in my hockey gear. What?

me there's a picture please tell me they might have your arm no yeah now that was before bed he might not even wait hold up wait wait wait wait wait skates and all no not not skate no i think i would have my lower half on why you could just slip that on i feel like when you're a little kid like i was little little like i was probably first grade or or maybe even kindergarten and it your parent had to dress you in your hockey year and i'd be extremely hot And I would also get like an itch, but I had all these pads on. I think I had my skates on. And it would drive me nuts.

I didn't want to be there at piano. And then I didn't want to go to hockey. It was a great way of like getting used to doing stuff you don't want to do. Yeah, piano, I told them like, I'm done. And then I settled for playing hockey. It was one or the other for sure. Which I did end up liking as I got older. I just hated it as a little kid.

That's just one of those things. Like either you like doing it or you don't. And if you don't like doing it, you're just not going to get better at it. When we had the piano recital and I picked the easiest song to do, they had like a full church full of people that probably didn't want to be there. And I had to go up there and play a song and I chose the easiest song. It was two keys. It was two black hair.

I'm not kidding you. A whole crowd had to listen to me. But I bet you shredded that shit. I bet you absolutely had to, the crowd on their feet standing ovation he's like i i'm over here thinking you know hot cross buns they were like that's the easiest song they were trying to talk me out or like they're like well how about take me out to the ball field or whatever you know like change nope

i just wanted to do the easiest little thing black cats i got out there two black cats i could still play it to this day well maybe because it's easy i don't know talented musicians that can just pick up, they can sing, they can play the guitar, the bass, piano. Man, it's so impressive. That's a tough industry, too. If you want to become a musician, my brother tried doing it out in, like, L.A. and traveling and getting gigs and doing all that for, like, a long time. And he was really, really talented, you know?

But just never had, like, a lucky break. Some people just get one lucky break, and that's all it takes. and you have to put in like eight years to just get that one lucky break. That one thing pop off and then the rest of it clicks because clearly the talent's all there. It's not like you just progressively

get a little bit better and better and better and finally they're like, oh. Oh, you reach the point where you're at our level now and you're part of it. That's how it goes. There's so many people that are so good at something that haven't been discovered yet. Yeah.

If you can think outside of the box, that's another way to get big. Or yeah, there's the classic go to Nashville. Try to become a country thing. Well, not, yeah, and you play in a bunch of bars. Yeah. And you make probably 400 bucks a night or maybe not. I don't even know.

Yeah, I don't know how much they get paid. But it's a small amount for probably what they're worth. It's cool. We've talked about Twinsick before, but we got a couple of DJ buddies that, like, it's cool to see them. That's just how it starts. They literally get their DJ equipment and then hopefully they can maybe make a song or two of their own or at least try making their own music.

And then it's like they get really crappy gigs. Like they're literally playing in the corner of a bar. on a Thursday night and then they get better gigs and then they get better gigs and the next thing you know they're freaking Steve Aolki playing it right well you gotta work your way up there's levels to everything yeah it always seems so hard each step seems hard but then you look back and you're like man I'm sure glad I did all of those things yeah if you do anything for three to five years and you consistently do it and I mean consistently you're doing this thing week after week you're not just doing it like once or twice a year like I mean you're

consistently doing it, you're going to get better. It doesn't matter what it is. You might not even, it could be like me trying to play piano. I probably cannot, I would never be a good piano player, but if I did it every week consistently, I worked on it every two days I played the piano for an hour or two, I'd probably end up being pretty decent. My siblings, I was the youngest child of three,

and I was always that kid that just didn't have anything. I had nothing like going my way or for me. Sam had his music, and Natalie, she was a really good singer, and she was an insane golfer. She did. She was a pro golfer. And then there was me and you. Me, but also, thankfully I had CJ.

Well, yeah, you're sitting there like, well, I got this dirt bike. What else do I got? Well, that's even that. We were just messing around to our own thing. That's what I'm saying. You were like, all I do is putts around with CJ on our dirt bikes or whatever. Like, whatever you guys did. Dude, we didn't do anything.

We just, I mean, we did a lot of stuff. Some days, we would watch TV all day, and some days we would go scooter all day. And other days, we would ride dirt bikes all day. It was just far, some days we'd play video games all day. It was like, whatever you wanted to do that day. It was so random. There was nothing, like, about us that you were just like, these guys. Yeah.

You know, that's his point, I guess. When you're growing up and people watching this right now might feel like they don't have their thing, or they're compared to their siblings. or their dad or their mom is so successful and you're compared to that and you feel like you have nothing going for you or you feel like you're not special in any way that shit comes with time you might be so surprised to find out what works for you that you never saw come in and nobody else did yeah because i guarantee nobody in our family thought me and cj we're going to the ones to do something like not that we're anything special but i'm not saying that we

even have like i mean millions of people that want to watch us dick around and i think most of our family probably still doesn't understand what it is about us but um yeah i would say like the people that just feel that way because i i'm i'm sure a lot of you do um just know like that that's not who you are forever and but you you got to take that in your own initiative you have to put yourself out there try new things and even if you think you have your thing you could say like oh like my thing is this you still got to try new things i think it's very important definitely but don't beat yourself up over it yeah 100% exactly 100% all right keep on keeping on on on that note i'm gonna do one. Should we all do a shot? I'm just going to do one to celebrate.

I can't do anymore. I'm done. I have stuff I need to do. One more. I'm not going to drive. You know what? I can't drive right now. Let's do it. All right. Fuck. I don't take one. I don't care. That felt good. Been holding that one in. I cannot believe you guys made it the whole podcast. Cheers. We don't have potty mouth. Yeah, I only brought one shot glass because I just figured like only one person would swear at a time. That's Ben's verdict on how the crown tastes This isn't that good I know
