How often do you get a text from UPS that asked for your credit card? Dude, that was a new one. Honestly, when that cop was like, you want to make good content? Let's run the drug dog around your car. Obviously, I didn't want to see anyone get hurt. I'm not so sure I'm convinced of that statement, Evan. Gavin landed some punches on Jake that were very hard. Dude, you are really a good guy.

It feels like summer around here, dude. Everybody's back. we got rich hanging out we got glen up here for the weekend like in the winter nobody wants to come nobody anybody that has to come comes and goes as fast as they can there's no like hanging around i just because i bring up the c word around you said it like three times oh my gosh it is funny right when you said uh it feels like summer around here i rode my motorcycle here today and it was freezing up dude it was freezing i checked the temp i'm like 41 honestly respect to you for riding your bike i've been wanting to take the r6 out but i just know it's going to be cold

and you have proper gear i don't have any i'm i'm a squid rider like i bought a helmet and that's it yeah i know i wore long john's four layers of vest yeah winter gloves still cold see to me riding the motorcycle isn't worth that so i just i'm like oh wait another week or two 70 is the threshold yeah you've already rode that motorcycle more than i thought you would mike yeah i'm proud of you that's good do you like riding it like to fargo back it's like a 50 minute drive honestly this sounds bad but i literally today it was freezing i was driving it riding it i was like this sucks this sucks so you did think about that i did you should have your gold wing because that actually has some coverage yeah yeah it's crazy how much of a

difference there is between a bike like what you have or even my r6 just having a windshield yeah actual cruiser because you have so much more coverage you're getting blown around way less you probably have cruise control like you're kind of chilling it's like a couch yeah either way though i feel like it's got to be like really nice weather to be at all enjoyable you know how sick it is like having a convertible like ken's looking at the continental like dropping your top is awesome but in minnesota it's another again the 70 kind of threshold is the rule yeah i used to be the biggest convertible guy i was like diehard convertible and now i i'm not yeah like i never take the hot off my car like 20 days out of the summer yeah and like the picture

risk convertible evening okay it's 75 degrees you and your lady are headed to the restaurant cruising by the lake it's dead calm and it's a nice night right well i give you like four problems one it's never not windy two your girlfriend's mad because she just did her hair so her hair's flying everywhere so she wants to top up and then three it's always cold here and they look so insanely stupid with the top up, yeah. Yeah, convertibles do look most of the time, very ugly. Which I used to, like, be like, well, that's because they're a convertible. You're supposed to have the top down.

But, like, whenever you have to put it up, it just looks so lame. Exactly. Like, if you're going to live in Arizona, get a convertible. Absolutely. But Ken sitting back there, like, so I shouldn't have bought that Lincoln Continental. No. As we just told them, like, dude, it's so sick with the convertible. Ken's biggest problem is not going to be that it's a convertible.

It's going to be that it's an old vehicle. It's older than one year old. He doesn't even know what it's like to drive a older vehicle. No, now I've got. I don't understand that. What do you mean older than one year old? Oh, he has a brand new vehicle at all times. Like, if his door handle squeaks when he opens,

there's something wrong with it, better trade it in. Lemon. Well, it shows up tomorrow. Okay, good. I do want to, like, asterisk that is, I think, driving an old classic car convertible. Like, you're not going to drive that, I presume, to like, you know, you got to go pick up.

in fricking fargo you know like it's your weekend cruiser no this is like uh oh it's 80 degrees and sunny let's take the continental up let's drive it around i'm so excited it's gonna be awesome i mean there's a lot of new vehicles being bought around your mike you've bought three this week pretty aggressive three freaking pretty good you are an absolute maniac and i'm even concerned for your financial well-being at this point yep my truck just got delivered today which i bought the truck in january it's been a little bit of a journey it's started off as a different color. It sent it to crandles, got it wrapped, put some new headlights in it, sent it to

full send diesel, got some bling parts on it and some weight reduction. And nightmare to try to get it to shipped here. Like, no one comes to this area. So we got that. And just so happened to also have the delivery of the Viper. I love that everyone on the podcast was like, oh, he was actually serious. As if you were joking. Yeah.

And then I bought Sydney, my fiance, a Bronco for her birthday yesterday. day. God dang, dude. Mike. So we got to run that video. Should I just show it right now? Just the video of me surprising her. Yeah, heck yeah.

I didn't even know you were doing it until she's posted or sent us the picture of it. Well, it happened fast. Like basically, I'm selling my Bronco Raptor to Randy, Ryan and Sidney's dad. And then he's had this other Bronco. And he's like, should we make a deal? And I was like, sure. Man, you guys just pass Broncos around. Literally.

It's like the third Bronco transaction. you guys have had. Yeah, it actually is. Yeah, literally. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. I don't like that you're enabling my father to keep trading cars. I know. It's probably good.

It's good. You guys both give each other a deal. Hopefully you're both happy. So did she want a Bronco before this? Yeah, she mentioned like, oh, I love the Bronco. And she drives a Wrangler now. So it's like pretty similar, obviously. And she's like, oh, that'd be so sweet to have that Bronco.

My dad never drives it. Really? And so it worked out. Damn, that is cool. And Randy put like, what are they, the fuel rebels, the classic fuel rebels. And silver on a silver bronco and actually looks pretty sick. It does look sharp. All right, you ready for your birthday present?

I'm ready. Where are you going? I told her it was in the garage. This is in the garage. You're lying. No. You're lying. No.

You're joking. I'm not joking. You're... I'm not joking. I mean, can you imagine somebody buying you a car? Like, that's sick. They had a bow on it? Damn.

Oh, the bow. The bow was the best part. I'd be fucking stoked, dude. Bro. That's so nice of you. That's so nice. Dude, you are really a good guy. I was like, nice guy.

We got a seriously. Dang, dude, I've got my sister a ton of birthday. She's never acted like this. I'm going to rip it today. I'm so excited too. I got a whole bunch of videos. Dude, that's so cute. She's like, I'm so excited.

feel like I'm going to shit my pants. That's pretty excited. Well, not in the new car, baby. Not in the new car. Oh, that's freaking awesome. She texted me this morning, or I texted her. I was like, how do you like your new Bronco? And she's like, I love it.

She was so happy. She was like, I don't even feel real. Yeah, she said, I look at Mike this morning. I go, are you sure? Yeah. She's like, is this real? Like, am I taking this to work today? We got insurance on it.

She's good to go. Yeah, I just like, boom. I just said, I was like, don't plan on me topping this birthday present. That was really nice to you. Oh, yeah, I'm stoked. And the truck's here today. So are you going to like commandeer her Jeep now? Yeah, which was really funny.

So do you have another car? No, oh, commandeer is in commandeered and then sell it. Okay. Oh, no, you know Mike's plan on. Sell it. He's just going to go put it in the barn for a little while. I literally like build it as like make it into my rock crawler. I think you should.

But Evan made a good point. He's like, so I'm assuming you're assuming that you're going to take the jeep. back and like sell it to like free up some cash and I was like yeah that is exactly my plan and you're like well I'm just putting it out there that you know she could say no to that that's her car and I'm like you're right you know like holy shit obviously she didn't then I'd go okay this Broncos mine again which would be really awkward yeah take that Jeep put a lift on it 40s good to go actually it would be sick it would be sick you could tow it with your truck and then tow that I've already publicly called rock rolling lame so well yeah

Yeah, I think people that even rock crawl think that it's lame. That's funny. At what point does rock crawling become cool? 27 beers. Okay, yes, totally valid for sure. I think, like, the feat of rock crawling is, like, cool, like, getting a vehicle up something that is, like, damn near impossible. But it's just, like, the speed of it and maybe, I don't know.

The thing is, is most of people that are rock crawling aren't actually going up something that's, like, actually hard to get up. They're just literally rolling over some, like, inclines and some declines, you know? Like, the stuff that we were watching at Moab, besides for maybe Hell's Gate, it's kind of all just like, you just drive the freaking thing. You know, I guess it's like anything, like dirt biking's fun when you're doing it, even if you're not hitting big jumps. Snowmobiling fun when you're doing it, even if you're not going up the biggest shoot. but unless you're hitting the biggest jumps or going up the shoot, no one really cares to watch.

That's probably true. Like everyone wants to watch Hell's Gate because you either do or you don't make it up but all the other ones like you just do a trail. Nobody needs to see that. I was going to say, yeah, I think it gets cool when you like cross into King of Hammers type stuff.

You know, like when you have a guy outside telling you which way to go and then you don't miss it and then your car falls and then you slide down a rock face, then it's cool. Like when there's actual risk involved instead of like maybe dinging up the bumper

on your rental jeep. Yeah. There really is just so many things that just feel cooler than they look. It's kind of like leaving a car show. Like when you leave a car show and you rip out of there. Or pulling in or like even just driving a cool car. Dalton was like, you know, some people just like, I swear, they just try and avoid like looking at your car.

And I was like, no, dude, a lot of people just don't give a fuck about cars or trucks or whatever. Like I'd say a majority of them. Dalton's driving in his vehicle. Why is nobody looking at me? Dude, that person just drove past without taking a picture of it. He's looking at them like, hey, I'm over here. Yeah, speeds up.

Look, look, I got wheels on this. Yeah, it's like Ken trying to track down a cop to get pulled over. Oh, my God, so funny. That was so hilarious, dude. And I'm glad that you kind of left more of that in to show that it was, it's as hard as it is. That's the one I was most worried about for you guys. Like, getting gas was tough too, but getting pulled over looked not fun. How many times did you get pulled over on that trip, CJ?

it was like four or five two two two we were he was drinking the old time dude i mean i get pulled over just driving around here even if i'm going the speed limit like just minding my own business and ken's over here literally speeding around zooming past cops swerving with no license plate and a hood stack just blow like no broken windows nobody wanted to pull them over it's it is crazy maybe they didn't want to mess with them they were just like i'm trying to come home to my wife tonight i don't want to mess with this guy i did see a comment that said that they said uh a lot of times if a cop thinks that you're trying to get pulled over they don't want to pull you over because that's the maniac that'll shoot you yeah that's also true yeah that's crazy ken's a maniac but not one that'll shoot you

right who in their right mind wants to get pulled over in a cop's position who's already probably sketched out walking up to a weird ass car yeah you got gabin in the back yeah tweaking oh dude 100% when that cop was like, you want to make good content? Let's run the drug dog around your car. Bullshit, it wasn't for the content. He thought we were high, bro. Who else is doing what we were doing and saying what we were saying that isn't high on math? I was thinking.

He said that. He said that, bro. He literally, after he did it, he goes, you know, I just had to check to be sure. I've never had somebody actually want to get pulled over before.

He was a cool cop, which I think was really good because you could have maybe gotten like a psycho guy that's like, that's obstruction of justice. Yeah. You know, like, I don't know. Ken could be in the clink in Utah right now. And either way, it would have worked out for me and Gavin.

It would have been great content. The good news about more Utah jail is they only soak there. Oh, that's nice. It was so fun on both part one and part two, seeing what we didn't know until watching the video or, you know, in your case, editing it. But, like, you know, just the classic, like, we genuinely thought that the Crown Vic broke down in part one. And that whole time, everyone's asking you about it and it was fake. And, dude, it was just so funny.

Like, seeing you epoxy the doors and then seeing the epoxy doors get messed up by another prank. You did that terrible job on the epoxy. How could I have done a better job? Maybe buy something that dried quicker. Yeah, not that. It was quick. Gavin did say you should have bought a different style of glue or whatever that was. Dude, honestly, that lady at Ace Hardware was about to fucking super glue our mouth shut.

She hated us so much. We were just trying to get out of there. Nothing. She was just cranky. She just pissed off. You could have J.B. Weld. You could have J.B. welded the door shut in like an hour, and they wouldn't have opened. But thankfully for us, you're an idiot.

No, it was me. It was me. I won't let C.J. take the blame. It probably was me, too, when we walked in the garage, legitimately two hours later and just opened up these doors and it was still wet. Look at all that accountability being taken here. It actually, it probably would have worked. I was waiting for Ben to go.

It was probably. Dude, bro, when we came out there at 5 a.m. And the doors were hard to open. But Gavin, dude, he's a bull in a china shop. I love that boy. And he is so fucking just unaware of his surroundings where he was just like slamming the door. Keep in mind, it's 5 a.m. And we're trying to sneak around and put Cheetos in your band.

Opening the bag as loud as possible. Just laughing. Yeah, laughing. And I actually got mad at him because I was like, bro, we got to ruin it. Shut up. And he's like, my bad, my bad, my dad. And then he like, slams another door and I like look at him. He's like, oh, fuck, I forgot.

I forgot. See, I thought we were cook for sure just for how loud he is being. I heard door slamming because I was right above the garage. I heard door slamming and I went, well, they're not messing with my car. And then I was kind of waiting to hear you guys go outside, fell back asleep. I was like waiting to interrupt you guys doing on our car. You know, I didn't care. I wanted you to sabotage team Cheeto, but it was like, damn.

The Cheetos were a chariot. Dude, the Cheetos are so good. Evan and Don't were so mad. So mad. I mean, I was upset, but. It was so gross. We had, like, stuff in the van. It was so greasy.

I didn't realize how greasy chitos are. You're putting those in your body. It was so funny listening to you guys or watching you guys, like, polish the dashboard. You know, you're constantly. wiping stuff down in there and then just dumping those Cheetos and was like the funniest thing doing it. Ken loved it.

What an insane amount of Cheetos. You literally bought all the Cheetos at Walmart. And we would have bought more if they had more. Go to Walmart and look at all of the different types of Cheetos they have and just imagine buying all of those. How many carts was it? Two? Two cards.

Oh my God. $600 worth. About every single Cheetos that they had. We're off brand though. Lady was like looking in the back if they had more, but they did. I saw you got cop some Dill Pickle Cheetos and I really I wanted to try those.

Did you guys eat an eel? I ate a few. I did not eat a single one. You were just eating something that we were there? Yeah, I literally just, yeah, as we were driving, I'm like, well, I grabbed a cheetah off of that. It was like a really weird interaction, like the whole thing. It was. Like, we go in there and we filled two carts full of Cheetos, right?

And like every single Cheeto bag that they had in the store. And we're like going to checkout and this lady came up that I don't know who she was, but somebody in charge, supposedly. And she was like, I just want you guys to know that you do not have permission to film our customers. And I was like, we're not filming anyone.

We're buying these two bags or two carts full of Cheetos. Like total attitude for somebody like buying a lot of stuff from them, right? And I was like, okay. I'm a valued Walmart customer. Yeah, right? And then we go through the checkout line

and the kid checking us out was probably like 20 years old. didn't ask us a single thing of what we were doing. Shut up. It was a weirdest thing. Nothing. He wasn't even like. Didn't even say, no, didn't say anything.

Like just like checked it out. And I was just laughing like just waiting for him to say something. Like what are you guys doing with all these Cheetos? Nothing. And then we're walking out. And then we're walking out because we had to go and get our tire and like the backside of the store. And then when we're walking out, dude, at this point, I think like the two like higher up managers came out. And they were like, do you guys need a hand with anything?

like, can we help you load up? And I was like, now this is the treatment I thought we would get buying this mini Cheetos. And they were like, we were joking like, yeah, we bought you guys out. We were wondering if you had any more. And they were like, and they're checking their inventory.

Yeah. And then they were like, you guys bought us out. That's all we had. But you're going to make us look really good to the Cheeto reps. Oh, shit. I bet. They're going to start stocking like way more.

And they'll never sell that many Cheetos again. I know. I jokingly said that. And it was great. It was a great interaction. And I was like, you know what? This is how it should feel when you're buying 650 bucks worth of Cheetos. It had to be at least 100 of hot dogs. Well, that was the shame. I got to say it. I know I shouldn't. But you bought like 350 hot dogs and only put 50 in because you felt bad. What was the reasoning behind that?

Because I knew the hot dogs were going to like really stink and like be, make a mess. out of it because of the juicy shit. You were concerned about a mess? That makes no sense. This is delusional. As we were putting them in there, it made it stink so much worse than just the exclusive Cheos. And I was honestly, I know they're going to be livid and just more hot dogs would make

it even worse. So I just tried to spare you guys. In hindsight, I was just done all of them. Well, you said we should be good. And then I think I dumped one more in there. Yeah. You literally couldn't help himself. Oh, shit.

One individual dog or a bag or a pack? Yeah. And then you can tell. By the end of that video, we were just... Yeah, we were... Why the frick didn't you guys film it? Dalton was told to not film it by Evan. Didn't give us the satisfaction.

That's the craziest thing ever. We're all here filming this thing, and you guys didn't film it? And we filmed it just really bad. 10 seconds. I mean, luckily, Mike was there to pick up the slack of it. Some slack. If Mike wasn't there,

you guys wouldn't have filmed a single thing until you came in and destroyed our cars. That's not true, but... I mean, that is how it would have been. I saw Mike turn. on the camera, I saw Mike tell you when to start filming. But I was pretty proud of that one, honestly. I thought that was a pretty good execution on our part.

It's really hard to sneak around with 150 bags of Cheetos. Right. And I was thinking, too, and we hit them pretty well. You know, like when CJ epoxy the doors and it said 2 a.m., not sure what time it actually was, probably around that. Like, we stay up super late too. I was sitting with you guys. Then I left and went.

And CJ stayed up late with us. And I was like, damn, like, CJ never stays up this late. A little did I know. I was so mad that I toasted our fire extinguisher here Like we had it the whole trip and figured we'd do something good with it And I gave it one like two second squirt Thinking that it would still work later But that just like that was it

It ruined it bro we saw you guys coming up and we're expecting something funny And then you guys just basically buzz by and I'm just like Dude, they're actually fucking mad Look at Evan's face You know how mad he was I knew that they were going to be super mad So like we're watching Mike's location because we dipped out early and you guys turned your location off and so we were checking we knew that

you guys were coming up on us right and we we knew that you had some some shit planned because we were just like exposed we didn't even have a back window like our car is barely running the way it is and so we're coming on the road we're watching your location and we both go through a tunnel at the same time and you're like coming up on us like 20 seconds behind us and I dip off and I take like an exit you guys drive by and then I pulled back on and I was just falling behind you guys then because I knew and I was watching the the GoPro footage bag of you guys like all right check his location where is that fucker and I knew you guys were hunting us down we were dude we were laughing we were like

we bought eggs we had the fire extinguisher and we bought yeah we had the slingshot and we thought about trying to get a squirt gun like a super soaker and filling that with like canoli oil or something because that would be a pain in the butt and then we had to settle for good old-fashioned motor oil would have been either way never we just never ran into you until we got to Gavin's which was very unfortunate yeah they were hoping to catch you in the wild it's almost like we were watching your location as you were watching ours we knew you were but we thought maybe that you guys would want to pull up so we didn't turn our location off even though everybody else did we thought that maybe you would end up coming to us yeah either way it was in my

opinion like one of the most like eventful videos ever like there's like so many different layers to it and uh it was just so entertaining so if you haven't go and check it out cheap car challenge part two part two i think is way better than part one but part one was good too they're both good grab your popcorn part two is way more fun i think yeah messing with everyone you got about two and a half hours of just pure entertainment we'll have to do it again sometime i think the people should vote on where next i think you're up on motorcycles or you're up on cars it'll be sold We'll or load and go to Europe next. We can go to India.

We can go to China. We can go to frickin' Mars like Katie Perry. Yeah. You know, we can do anything. I mean, it's just, I don't know. Like going to Europe is like, it's just way crazier, way more expensive, way more time, way harder to communicate. Miami to Minnesota.

That could be sick. That would be awesome. Frick at Key West. Yeah, you start in Key West. We could get more. Southernmost to northernmost. Oh, that'd be good. I was talking to Cletus.

So Cletus has done cheap car challenges, too. And, like, there are so many comments saying that we had just, like, ripped him off in that. But, like, we're boys. And he was like, yo, you guys got to do this. Which we wanted to do it for a long time. And I was like, like, what do you think of that? And so, like, after we dropped the video and there's a bunch of comments on it, you know, I called him and be like, dude, it's doing really well. But, like, so many people just think we just ripped you off.

And he's like, bro, you're not taken away from me at all. like it just adds to everything and like a very like abundance mentality which he always I've always said that he always has but he was like I think we got to do one together and that'll like really shut people up so he was like I think like at some point we just do one like two teams

and uh we we go somewhere our team is just massive I mean he's got boys too I was also gonna say I'm not taken away from Cletus but Top Gear did it before yeah like he and I'm sure someone did it before top yeah Yeah. So, like, if you want to say that, we're copying someone top gear technically is who we. And, like, he would never even say that because he would give the flowers to somebody else like that, too.

Like, it's hard to be original on YouTube these days. But what we bring to the table is just a different dynamic. It's just a different group. It's different ideas of what we're doing. And I was like, that would be pretty fun to do that, like, two YouTube channels. Oh, my gosh, dude. Especially with them. Yeah.

Our teams would be cooked if we had a breakdown. Yeah, true. They would be dialed and we would be not dialed. Yeah, we'd have to even the playing fields a little bit. I was watching YouTube and I found this YouTuber. His name is Michael Reeves and he's actually fucking hilarious. He drops a video like once a year. But he built a bot that low balls people on Facebook Marketplace.

All he has to do is find a listing and he just has like a Chrome extension that he just says like low ball or something like that. And it just does all the things. He's like a coder and it does all the things. and then just sends them a message that, like, AI writes to low ball. That's genius. Yeah. So what do you mean by that? Does it continue the conversation after the first low ball?

I'm not sure. He didn't have that in there, but. So he hits a button and they lowball. So he hits one button and then he generated a bunch of code basically to take the listing, the information from it, puts it in a chat GPT, creates a response with an attitude. And he had like 10 different characters that, like, you know, some were condescending, somewhere aggressive. some or whatever and then they would send it to the person without having him to like copy and paste anything it was just one click and then it would send it to the person that person would respond and then uh i think the idea was that if he if low balling people actually saved money if if a bot could lowball somebody and and do it better than a person i'll tell you how it could save money make it so that way there's like 10 different bots that lowball him at over the course of a of a period so then he's like this is ridiculous like maybe i'm

high on my price. And then you come in with a slightly below reasonable offer. And then he's like, well, this is way better than everything else I've been getting. I'm going to take up on this because I don't know if anyone else is going to want it. There you go. And that's how you would say. Exactly. Then you save the money. It's a good point. You're on to something there. I feel like people are going to do that. So, CJ, you said that you were concerned about Mike's finances, right? Yeah. I am concerned about your finance. finances. How so?

You getting scammed yesterday? Oh, yeah. Technically, you should be concerned about the company's finances because it was a company credit card. You're in control of the company's finances. Yeah, so we all are in trouble. We all are in trouble. This is concerning. No, it really wasn't that big of a deal.

No, it kind of is. You think it's a bigger deal than it is. Dude, everybody gets those texts like on a daily and you fell for it. Yeah, but I also get texts on a daily. of like shipments and calls so I'm just like how often do you get a text from UPS that asked for your credit card dude that was a new one honestly did you ever pay the the road tool text message no oh okay good I thought that one was bogus because I was like I thought I paid for this already so I wasn't going to pay it again

but uh no so what happened was I was eating and you know we were busy had you paid for that one previously what the road toll no I paid for it at the rental car place so I knew I was cover i was like this is bogus they're acting like i was going to get like have to go to court and shit so anyways they shot me a message saying i needed to reschedule our shipment because we missed it which i was like damn how the fuck we miss the shipment whatever we're we're on the go so i go to reschedule and it was like a reshipment fee and i was like whatever just paid it and then the next day i was like hey we got a shipment coming at this time i don't even know what it is we got so many different things on the way can't miss it yeah but someone's got to be here because it was a whole ordeal

And then I realized I was like, oh, that was probably a scam. Because I was, you told me like, yeah, are you going to be around the shop? The shipment's going to show up. I'm like, well, do you have a time, like a rough time, like when I should be here? And you're like, oh, you're looking for it. Like, oh. Yeah, I clicked the link. I think I was scammed.

I clicked the link and it was like, this might be a scammer website. But it didn't say that the first time. Like, what the frick, dude? So then I was like, oh, let me just cancel the credit card. We got him a new card coming. It was no big deal. No big deal. They didn't even get anything from us.

They were too slow. Not fast enough. Yeah, what would they do? Like, go to Walmart and buy a bunch of gift cards. Just start running the charges up. The thing is, like, if you have American Express and, like, a good card, like, we have, even if they would have ran it up, American Express would have covered it. Not saying that would have been good.

It would still been a headache, but, like, we were really, I wasn't that concerned. You thought it was a bigger deal than it was. No, I just thought it was funny. I didn't think the world was coming down. I thought it was just hilarious. Yeah. No, definitely was. Not my proudest moment.

People get scammed, dude. I got to be coming any day now. We've came a long way since then. Now we have like 30 e-bikes. Yeah, no kidding. But before then we had no e-bikes. Yeah, if you really just dollar cost average all of them, Mike, you're into all of our e-bikes that we got for free for like a thousand bucks a piece.

Yeah, not bad. Actually. In the end, you're up. How do you guys like those new e-bikes? There's so many different brands. There's so many different brands now. and they all are kind of, it seems like the same. They look similar to some degree and they all seem to work pretty decent,

but obviously which one is the best? Like what are we working with for brands and how would you rank them? At this point, from what I've ridden, the altus is just my favorite. I think it's the sickest. They're the fastest. They come like the best suspension. They're just set up out-the-box rippers. It's crazy.

But I haven't wrote all of them, so I don't know. But from what I've wrote, they're the best. have. Yeah, I'd go like Altis, E-Ride, Suron, then Tilaria, then Roar. Wow. My problem with Suron's third, huh? Well, my problem with the Surons is every, you kind of got to hop them up for him to be sick. And every time I ride one, it's like somebody else has built it. And when you build something, it's kind of like tailored to the person that built it. So to me, it always felt kind of whack, even though it probably was a really nice bike, I just didn't like it. And there's something about hopping on a bone stock

out of the box bike that just it works. Yeah. It is crazy that you can hop on one of these electric bikes and it kind of looks like a hybrid between a dirt bike and a mountain bike but the fact that you guys can go and clear all the jumps on our

like huge track. Bro, pull up the video of Rich. Bro, Rich, that was insane. Hitting 50 footers on an e-bike with mountain bike tires is like gnarly. That's what I'm saying, dude. Like, it just, it's surprising how well they work and it's crazy the times we live in. The true testament is, is that, like, we literally don't, if we have a decision to make,

e-bikes, pit bikes, or big bikes, and it's always e-bikes. Like, every time we have a chance, we're just out on e-bikes. Like, we're not giving up on either of the other ones, but that's the testament. We're like, e-bikes. That's your choice, yeah. The e-bikes over pit bikes, like, any day because they have more power. They're just easier. And it's like the wheel size is such a big part of it.

You know, like, whenever you're riding on anything rough on a pit bike, it's just like, it's not fun. And then you got an e-bike, and it's pretty much a full-sized bike. Yeah, the e-bikes are so sick. Let's pull up the video. Yeah, pull up the video, Rich freaking booting. How many feet you think that was Rich? Bro.

45.50 probably. I didn't realize Rich was such a ripper. Dude, Rich was high. Like, he was pretty airborne. He was also that, too. But he was, he was airborne. and he kind of was like boner airing it, but he was countering it by leaning forward.

He was humping the bars a little bit. He was just getting over the battery a little bit. I'm just glad fucking Rich didn't wipe. But the best part was so... Bro, Rich, if you go down, I don't know what that looks like. I did the driveway a little bit, but... That was not even a crash. He bent my bars, bro.

That's fine. Oh, yeah, he did go down. Dude, like, so Rich, he used to race back in the day, and he gets back on it and starts, like, clearing the jumps. Clearing some mid-sized ones. I'm like, dude, this is so lit. And then this jump that you're about to watch right now, I tried, and I cased the shit out of it,

and then Rich greased it. So that was pretty sick. Rich, you raced than I had on my raptor? About like your raptor. Right there. Blue of the blood vessel on my feet. Really? Left foot, yeah.

Keep in mind, Rich probably raced like 20 years ago. Yeah, Rich. Come here, Rich. Come here. I don't think anyone even believes it. to you on the bike right now. I said nobody even believes it's you on the bike right now.

What do you have to say to the haters? Drop the chin. Drop the chin. Let's see your face. That's what he has to say. It's not a stunt double. How do I open this thing? There's panicking. Get it off me. It's really him.

Rich, when was the last time you jumped a bike? Probably 12 years. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. If not longer, maybe 15. Busting the rust off just like that. And then hitting a big jump on an electric mountain bike hybrid type of thing.

Like, I'd rather hit that on a full dirt bike. Well, like, we rode on the pit bike track, and it's like figuring out where to center yourself because they're so light. But then, like, once you figure out where to center yourself, those altus is good. They're pretty easy. You think it had anything to do with the helmet, Rich? Yeah, for sure. The aerodynamics. Yeah.

The open face. Yeah. Did you have any darts while you were wearing that helmet? He did. after that's a cigarette smoker's helmet right there give me the helmet i can drop the front and smoke sigs with rich so you you build all these pristine tracks in 12 years you've never been like man well my thing is is like i mean we rode for what two days and i was jumping the jumps like i know if i get a bike i'm gonna just start pressing you know so like i don't want to get hurt because

then i can't work yeah you can drive a dozer with a busted leg or something can't carry me up in there? No, I can't. Yeah, see? You're going to be calling us up. Yo, can you bring lunch out? Can you bring the skinny to put me in the dozer? Yeah, that is good shit. Yeah, we are vamping out for summer, though. It's good times.

How the heck do you build dirt bike tracks, like, the way you do without, without, like, sessioning them at all? Like, I guess it's just muscle memory at this point. I literally can feel in the dozer, like, the transitions and, like, how good it's going to be. I believe that, too. It's pretty wild. Yeah, I believe that, too. always perfect Because like even literally like when I build all back up on the track

And like pretend I'm driving the track And the dozer just to kind of keep my line straight And then you know with the jumps You could feel like if they're steeper You know what I mean You just yeah You could feel it How many tracks have you built

Hundreds Is ours the sickest? No No comment We're planning to do a little track revamp And just like maybe fix some of the current jumps But also add to them

And have like a a couple different options because like when we built the first track we had rich build it with like every single vehicle in mind so we could take a dirt bike on it and then we could take a side by side and then we could also take impala or a Harley Davidson motorcycle and now we have just like other options and other tracks and I guess more space so we're just trying to like dial in a couple different tracks so it's like you know we can take the Harley Davidson over here. here but then you also have like an actual dirt bike track yeah like the track was always super sick for dirt bikes but it is going to be really sick when it's dialed in specifically for dirt bike yeah i think

it's just going to be like we're going to have more tracks more tailored to different vehicles and so we're planning on like revamping the current track building another one and then also doing like an enduro setup where we set up like a bunch of rocks and mud pit and logs and things like that you know for our Canadian buddy Spenny to get all revved up over. Speaking of the track, we were at the bar the other day, and a nice young gal came up to us and was like, my parents are your guys's neighbors. Oh.

And I was like, like our neighbor's neighbors. And she was like, yeah, well, it's my mom and my stepdad. You're like the neighbor. And my stepdad is the one that yell at you guys. Oh, no. Yeah. Okay. And?

Just that she was like the nicest girl. Oh. nicest girl and uh she was just like yeah i'm sorry basically i'm sorry about him that sucks to have to put her in that spot you know like this he felt as he had to freaking apologize yeah and i was i didn't really get to the bottom of it like if he like really does hate us well clearly does but uh i don't know i was still a little confused as like if he was like would actually sue but uh she was just like yeah i mean he's just like a hot head i wouldn't take a personal did you see there's still there's steaks down there now?

Yeah, I did say that. We put stakes down to, like, try to establish the line. Well, don't worry about it. We're never going back over on that side again, so. I don't even like looking at it. Really? Yeah. I got PTSD.

Really? Can I take the driveway? That's what I mean. I don't even, like, looking at his driveway. Yeah, right? Don't even think about it, Mike. I don't know why, but, like, certain people, I guess, just treat our privacy. As if there is none.

As if there is none, exactly. I think people think this is a business, not a home. Like, we characterize this as our home where we are doing the things that we do. But, like, I think people think this is like walking into U-Moters and sitting down and waiting for your favorite salesman to come up and talk to you, you know? And they just think that because there's a fucking utility door on the front of it, not a house door, you know? We could have Glenn on guard duty.

Can we put this video footage of the guy just wandering around our shop? That's kind of funny. Yeah. Just speed it up. Him just like checking it out. He could have stole some shit. Like he could have taken a memory card. He could have taken, like, some money.

He could have taken a checkbook. Like, honestly, he's lucky that we don't press charges on him. Yeah. Like, straight up, that's trespassing. It is. We have a lot of memory cards that have footage on it of whatever. And he could have easily just went, whoop, took that. Like, that's worst case.

I'd rather have him take money than that. But people probably was on these memory cards. But not that that matters, but it's just. but yeah you know like if you really think about it it's pretty whack it is that's super whack and then we were trying to be well i didn't talk to him but you guys were trying to be nice to him and he was just sitting there and then he he goes ahead and just says yeah well i don't support you guys i don't like what you're doing and then you're just like then why are you here dude and then you just closed the door on him yeah like what what were you doing then this is the weirdest thing

which makes me think he was just drunk but yeah i hate to drag this on he wasn't drinking a I wasn't there, but I saw the video of Rich was home from the bar after that. When he hangs out with us, we get him drunk. What can we say? Oh, no, no, no. Rich gets himself drunk when he hangs out with us. He's just not very good at drinking. He's talking about, the guy that came over is talking about, like, kids, riding, whatever.

I didn't know. No one knew it was going on. And you're just like, here's the motto. Man, fuck them kids. Yeah, Rich said that. And I was like, all right, hold on now. No, that is not the motto. around here.

There's like memes on Instagram where it's like, fuck them kids. You just like, I was just lickered up and trying to be funny. I was like, that is not the motto because the last thing I need is him just going home and just being, yeah, apparently their motto over there is fuck the kids. I was like, that is not that I don't even know who this guy is right now. I'm sorry about him. Well, then when he wanted to ride, I was like, no, the track's sketchy, the track builder's sketchy.

Yeah, I agreed with that, but yeah. What a crazy situation. It's just another day. man. Should we talk about the Gavin and Jake fight? Or should we I think we should. Should we get both of them on here if we talk about that? Do you think that they want to talk about that? Like I feel like there's still

I think there's still some animosity. For sure there is. I think Jake would be fine talking about it. I don't think Gavin wants to talk about it. Yeah, Gavin probably doesn't want to talk about it. But it does seem a little crazy. I mean, maybe it's maybe it's best that we just tell the story. I don't know. Gavin gets friend zone. Jake banks the

Gavin gets pissed, starts a fight that he can't win and gets his ass beat. Story done. There you have it, folks. Evan's such a storyteller. What a colorful book. The driest way you can put it. I really paraphrase it down there. There's a lot more details to that.

I just really something up quick. I mean, there's two different angles. But yeah, basically. There might even be a third. Yeah, there's definitely three different. There's probably three different. perspectives to this so if we want to tell so that maybe we tell the neutral side of it which uh is something along the lines of Gavin was talking to some girl Jake ended up talking to the same girl then the

girl started hanging around Jake and Gavin felt as though he swooped in on his girl which you know there is a brocode but also there's a blurred line here and there's not really like a clear clean cut to this so I feel like there's not a right or wrong side but moral the story is Gavin and Jake ended up boxing to like settle the difference and we went to like a gym and we filmed it and you're going to see it here in like a week or two it was legendary honestly it takes balls to get into a ring no matter who you're fighting because the thing is even though Jake his dad is a golden gloves boxer Jake's box since he was a little kid he's never actually fought anyone, but he understands boxing and he was fighting Gavin. He's never put gloves on

his life. Huge props to Gavin because that takes balls. But even for Jake, he understood when I was talking to him before. He's like, I mean, it's a fight. Like anything could happen. He could get knocked out. It just takes one punch. They both got clock pretty good. Gavin landed some punches on Jake that were very hard and his head went fully cocked back. And Gavin wore a number of punches as well. Both took a pounding. They really did. This is like a rock'em-sock and robots line up right here. I mean, Jake's still protecting himself,

but both of them punching each other in the face at the same time. At the end of the day, they're still going to have to be boys because... I think they are. I mean, Gavin obviously took the bigger L with his chick getting robbed, and then he got punched in the face more times than Jake did. But also... Are you going to invest or not? It is what it is on Gavin's point,

where it's not like he's going to like just not hang out with Jake anymore and I think he realizes that and he also probably realizes that you know Jake's going to be Jake and just he's going to fuck over his boys that's what he does you know and uh hopefully he doesn't take it too personal but a statement was made dude a statement was made and uh i i got to give gab his flowers for like stepping stepping in the ring i thought it was awesome i wouldn't have done it i wouldn't have done it either. I wouldn't either. No freaking way. I wouldn't get in the ring with Jake when he did that to you. Yeah. But, oh, seriously? Not the second trust. He told you to punch him though, didn't he? Wait, wait, actually? I was like really, really drunk. And I don't even remember doing it.

But he was like saying, yeah, one free punch since I broke the bro code. And so I guess I punched him. I don't know how hard, but I would not box Jake. That's all I got to say. I wouldn't box Gavin either. I wouldn't either. No. Yeah. The bald shadow. Yeah, the bald shadow. And Gab did get in there. I thought he did really good. Gav would have beat me up if I fought him. That's for sure.

100%. He looked pretty good in there for being a non-boxer first time. Especially considering he had 15 minutes of training the day before. I think he did pretty good. Literally. He did a good job. 15 minutes. I mean,

that says how she goes sometimes. I mean, everyone that watches YouTube loves when YouTubers box. Yeah, it looks up with that shit. I don't know. I mean, I think the nice thing about like a boxing match like that is like,

they were able to go and fight each other and swing for the fences and even connect many times but due to having gloves and headgear on it was chill but like if they were fighting bare fists wherever else if one of those hard punches landed like their face they'd have for sure a black eye broken nose possibly even knocked out like there were some solid heavy punches throwing that were connected from both sides do the bare knuckle fights are insane yeah they would looking pretty rough. I mean, it probably just wouldn't have gone nearly as long. That would have been the thing. It would have been a 30 second fight instead of fucking four minutes, whatever it was. Yeah, do bear knuckle fights ever go to the distance?

Oh, yeah. The real bare knuckle fighters, they are, like, it's rough. I mean, they are bad asses. It's actually hard on their hands, too. It's a big thing. Yeah, they're sure. They break their knuckles. But yeah, I mean, they get so much more cut up. The thing with, like, the bare knuckle fighting, it kind of just seems like, the toughest UFC fighters who are now kind of washed up. They're not good enough to keep fighting in the UFC. They then go to bare knuckle fighting. But yeah, it takes a special breed.

Like, only, like, the really tough guys who can take hits seem to go. And then, like, they almost end their career there. But Connor McGregor owns, like, or partly owns bare knuckle fighting. So it's becoming a pretty big thing. It's crazy, though. Like, I mean, it's way more brutal than UFC. I wonder if it's a little better, like, you know the whole thing like

MMA fights can appear more brutal but the there's the matches or the fights are like shorter like boxing you're going however many rounds what 10 rounds you're just constantly getting your head and brains getting rattled around I think it might look more brutal but there might be an aspect of it's like

a little better on the body maybe I think no they do say that boxing compared to UFC just because boxing you're usually I guess in UFC like if you get hit you're just kind of out whereas boxing, like you can be concussed but then not

knocked out and then you take more and more and more or like you get knocked out or you get hit down, you're clearly concussed and then they give you 10 seconds to get back up and regroup whereas in UFC there isn't that. Like if you get knocked down, they might get on top of you hit you one more time and that's it. Yeah, so I'm choking you out before you even know.

Maybe take more of a beating full body wise than UFC you're taking a kick to the ribs and this and that but yeah, you're right. And boxing is just a lot. of headheads. Dude, my favorite thing, though, of the Jake versus Gavin fight was, like, it must have been what it felt like to be, like, one of Jake Paul's friends. Like, Gavin was going to fight, and we were cruising around the sprinter van, like, all, like, amped up, like, listening to, like, Lincoln Park and, like, just fight songs. We've got American flag Drake around. Yeah, we're just like, we're going to, he's going to kick his ass. We're, like,

we were, we were, I hate, sorry, Jake, but we were on Gavin's side, at least for, for that. And, but it was lit, dude, it was electric. That was so fun. It was so fun. I was the announcer slash promoter of it. So I was in the ring intro in both of them. And like a couple of people that were at the fight have, like, texted me after, like, that was a great intro. Good job on that one.

Yeah, Ben, you were like just the classic perfect promoter. You walked in with the A side. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're on the A side. A side loses. And then you left with the B side. So you were on the winning side, on the way in.

and on the way out. And his pocket's full. Like any good promoter, yeah. The real winner of the night. Dude, that was funny. I walked out just press record on the camera and you're literally like making a deal with Jake and you're like, whoa! We'll go far, Jake.

I'll take care of all the financial side of things and you just do the fight. You just keep beating people up. Just going to Don King him. That's your promoting company name. We'll go far. We'll go far. Or you could call yourself Don King Jr. Don King was Mike Tyson.

promoter after his initial coach died and then he took like millions from mike tyson wow millions millions but he had sick hair yeah he did but but even don't king when mike tyson lost he was on the other guy's side yeah i don't know jake was even texting me this morning like he wants to get back in the rain yeah he was like dude that was so electric yeah i was like yeah i bet you had a great time he keeps bringing it up too that's what i say yeah i'm sure you did have fun yeah come to think but I was actually texting Jacob He must have did it. Yeah, he texted me the day after.

He just doesn't want anyone to forget about it. Yeah, right? He's like, oh, that was so awesome. Thanks, boys. Love you, bud. Yeah, he was sending me videos of the announcers or of me announcing. And he was like, dude, imagine, like,

doing that in front of like 10,000 people and, like, I walk out and fight. I was like, yeah, should we do it? He was like, bro, we should actually do it. We should line up another fight. He's got the winning bug now. Yeah, I mean, I think Jake clearly, won he won the girl he won the fight but i think once the video comes out the fans are going to be

on gavin's side just from my years of experience of seeing how things go i think gavin will win the people over even though he lost and jake was saying that too he was like all right i look like a dick for stealing gav's girl and then i get in the ring and i beat him up and then i look like a bigger dick because i win or i steal his girl and then he beats me up and i look like an idiot He was like, what do I have to gain here? We're like, well, you did steal his girl. So you got to fight him because he wants to fight him. Yeah, and he was like, fair enough.

Rich was supposed to be the ref, but he got too drunk. It was his birthday and he thought the whole event was just for him. So he was celebrating early. Yeah. They thought we picked up a drunk native off the corner and put a thing on him. And we literally did. Dude, we showed up, right? And we painted on the ref costume under Rich.

Yeah, I don't know. What's I sure you are, 2X? Oh, here's a lot. large so rich is already throwing a temper tantrum about the freaking refth jersey and he's getting way too hammered on the way then we're like dude you keep in mind you have to like be the officiant here like not of the official official the official you can't be this layered up otherwise you're not going to know what to do you already don't know what to do and he's like oh fine hops in the ring holding the beer and then like the main guy that owned the gym was like yeah i think i'll be the

after this one. And then Rich was like, what the fuck? Yeah, Rich wanted Rich was all still drunk after and he was like, dude, I want to fucking fight that guy. I go, Rich, I don't think you should fight the guy who owns the boxing gym. I don't think that's a good idea. I go,

let's just go home. Well, I thought it was going to be like something funny and like... Bro, if you got in the ring with that guy, he would not let you even, it would not have been playful at all. Like, a guy like that needs to put a person like you in his place. Well, he was trying to make the fight more of, like, a serious thing, and I was, like, more there to be funny.

Yeah, I mean, it was serious. It's his gym, and he didn't want nobody to get hurt, so I get it. But at that point, like, I was pretty liquor-up, so I was... Hey, man. There was blood drawn, and some heavy punches thrown. It was great. It really was. I'm proud of both of them.

I had the giggles the whole time. Yeah, I know. You were just laughing your ass off the whole time. I didn't expect anything else out of you. Dude, Evan's sitting there and laughing, talking to Gavin's... sister like as if this could get any worse for Gavin he looks back and Evan is there schmoozing his sister oh chill I wasn't schmoozing I was what's your like favorite kind of comedy some people like I like dry humor Evan's like I like dismay of other people yeah actually as soon as

the second round started and the blood started flowing it was like oh my god couldn't wipe the smile off your face the tears started going down his face dude I'm like this is actually getting ugly is really what i thought like it was very funny they're both two homies are punching each other like that's great entertainment i don't care who you are two friends but then when he like actually starts bleeding it's like okay this is kind of an ugly turn like obviously i didn't want to see anyone get hurt and all of a sudden he's bleeding all over the point i'm not so sure i'm convinced of that statement evan well i knew gab was gonna lose i said it the whole time he's got a tear as I right now, just thinking about it.

Dude, I gave Gab a big hug before. I'm like, Gavin, I am rooting for you, but I am betting against you. It was so obvious what was going to happen. Like, I know we had to hype him up, but I almost felt like you guys were being bad friends, giving them false. False confidence. You can't be getting in his head like that. It was going down regardless.

I was trying to just give them everything that you could possibly use for success. I was kind of a dick to Gavin through the whole thing just based to saying, Gab, you're going to get your ass kicked because I knew it was going to happen. but like actually big props to him respect him for doing it if you were to hop in the ring would you want it to be a ufc like octagon fight or a boxing ring unless i'm fighting somebody my own height i think i'm really not gonna for not good at boxing yeah not good you'd be better off yeah i got to get him on the ground anytime yeah i need to i i need to evans a real scousa evans torso is about normal height dude on the ground everything below it is just tiny

So I'm kidding. But yeah, you know, everyone's the same height when you're rolling around on the floor. But, yeah, I just don't think I really have the reach. I'm hitting up. I think I'm at a pretty big disadvantage. And I assume that there's going to be short boxers out there that are going to say that I'm an idiot and I can't use my height as an excuse. You're probably the same height as like Floyd Mayweather. Yeah, but he's way lighter weight class than that.

Yeah. Boy, Mayweather is like 135, bro. That's like a good. Yeah, what weight class would you be in $2.15? I haven't broke two bills yet. No shot. I know you're exaggerating, CJ, but when you're filming the electric snowmobile, 250 snowmobile thing, and you're like,

Evan's got to be pushing 300. I was like, did you just seriously say Evans almost 300 pounds? I'm a rock. What was I on weigh in the other? 1.85, 187? No shot. It's like on camera. You took a video.

What do you think you are right now? Probably right exactly there. You think you've gained weight since our fitness challenges started? Don't ask him that. I think I'm just like the same. Honestly, I think I'm 185 to 190. Right in the pocket, depending on the dump of the day. Scales, though, I don't mess with them.

You ever weigh yourself before and after a dump? No, I actually haven't. Have you? Oh, yeah, many times. Really? Yeah. Just for fun? What's your record?

I don't really, I guess I don't know my record, but like, I mean, it's, it's not uncommon to lose three pounds. Holy crap. You guys will be some of it. I guess I weighed myself the other day, and then I was like, oh, crap, I really have to pee. I should probably pee before I weigh myself. And I lost, like, I think it was like two pounds. What? I guess that is true.

A pound and a half, point one point eight. Liquid's kind of heavy. Like a gallon is. So, I mean, you know, you got that and I was only doing half the work. So, like. I weighed myself yesterday. or two days ago holding my cat and then weighed myself without holding my cat and I was 11 pounds lighter. Well, that's important to know.

You think we can go back to the country club like after Vance birthday? I was just going to bring that same thing up, Ryan. It's pretty concerned about that, Ryan. I was actually thinking to that. And like, I was good. I'm trying. You were not good, Ryan. You didn't even finish 18 holes.

There's choice. There's a number of holes at the country club. I think I'm just going to skip from now on. You should just stop golfing. No, I do want to learn how to golf. I just shanked on, I think it's whole six. I shanked it really hard to the right, and that's where the parking lot is.

So you hit some cars? I think I hit a car. You know, Ben's actually got a dent in the side of Azuris. So that makes sense. I'm just talking theoretically. I didn't actually do that. So he shouldn't send you the bill? No, dude, that was so fun.

So fun. We're getting into golfing. I'd like to say, I might have led the charge, at least, in everyone getting new clubs. So I've been wanting to learn how to actually play a game at golf. Like, if I tried going golfing with these guys, let's just say last year, I'm kind of just using some miscellaneous clubs that we have, you know, left over from reckless golfing over the last five years.

And, I mean, honestly, I'm not even playing with these guys. Like, these guys hit the ball. It goes somewhere down the fairway or near it. And then I would hit it and it would maybe go five feet in front of me or, like, way off into, like, three holes away to the right or left, whatever. So it was just like, then I'd go and drop a ball and I'd do the thing again. So, like, it was hardly like I was even playing. But I was like, this summer, I want to learn how to actually, I don't need to be good.

I just want to be able to play. Like, just play with the guys. I don't need to compete with them. So I go out and I get a new set of clubs. And I didn't spend a lot of money. I got, like, the middle-level, middle ground. The kids at Shields were trying to upsell me. They knew who I was, and we're like, oh, no,

Trust me, you're going to want these clubs. They're way more forgiving, this, that, and the other. And I was like, I'm going to go with the middle ground, cheap ones. So anyways, hit the driver range next day. I go back to get some shoes. I run into Ken and Mike there, both at the same time. They didn't even go together, and they're buying golf clubs too. Ken and I were doing it out of necessity, though.

So the dude that was helping me, you walk up right as he starts chatting with me. And he tries selling me on, like, a $1,200, like, six iron. something. I was like, I was trying to get Ken to buy it. I was like, this is absurd. $1,200. It was, no, it was just the irons. It was just the iron. Was it gold? Oh, it was it was a set? Iron set. Yeah, but it was like $1,200, which is like how much I spent total on a whole bag and full set. But, uh, so then I'm trying to get Ken to get, he ends up getting the same set as me. Then Mike gets the same exact set. So we're all kind of rolling with the same like middle level like entry ground set. And we show up to Ben's birthday to go golfing. And then Ryan,

pulls up and this dude ended up buying the most expensive set he got suckered he bought the nicest set i tell the real story do you want to just like run with where i want to hear the real story i bought the nicest driver i did spend six hundred dollars on a driver which was stupid because i suck at driving but i bought the cheat i bought like the middle ground oh really your irons look nicer than ours though they they were like six six ninety nine for all my irons and then i bought a putter that was you know freaking expensive but it was it was where I went wrong was because I wanted

to get a different bag than you guys because I didn't want to end up with the same clubs in the same bag and we walk up to the hole and we all throw our chipping wedges on the ground and then I got Ken's who was hitting a tree earlier and you know whatever so I'm like I got to get something different and it just

it just got out of hand by the time that I bought a shirt shoes you know yeah it was just funny it was super funny because Ryan ends up sending us a Snapchat before and how much was it like 2,600 or something? 2,600 bucks. So he was more and double what we had in and we were laughing like, holy

shit, Ryan got some, the nice ones, they got him because like we knew what it was like going there and they're trying to upsell you. So then we get there and we're all playing and we were giving Ryan shit though because he had the most expensive clubs but he only played 16 holes. He quit on hole 16

Well, I had transfusions, and I was just holding the group up, and I was like, I'm not really doing, I'm not having fun sucking right now, and I'm not learning anything. And the golf pros came and yelled at us four times, even though we haven't done anything. For pace of play? Yeah, yeah. Well, he can't, no, he came and he, yeah, he was mad about us being together at one point. And he was like, you can't do that. I was like, all right, we split up then. And he's like, hey, keep the carts over there.

and it was like, I don't know, I was right on the blue line. So I was like, damn, okay, we'll keep the carts over there. And then he was like driving around, following us. I was like, we're not reckless golfing. I want to just have a nice time and my buddy's Ben's birthday. Honestly, I hear you on that. I understand. Those guys are annoying.

Like the clubhouse pros are annoying. I showed up first because I was excited to go play. And I just go in, you know, and I go to like pay for me for me and get a cart. and the guy was so condescending towards me. I was like, does he know I'm new here? Or like, why is he being so rude to me? If it ain't the consequences of our own actions. But he didn't know who I was.

I promised he didn't know who I was because I was dressed like a freaking stereotypical golfer with like a collared shirt and it tucked in and everything. Wow. Nothing seaboys. And the guy definitely didn't know who I was. And yeah, he was just so condescending. And so I'm not surprised to hear him coming out and doing that shit with you. And it just reminds me of when we were golfing with grandpa at the

Morad Country Club, and their pro was just being just a freaking douche canoe. It's every, it's every golf course. Yeah, they just, but those guys who run the pro shop just think they're apparently like some classy, like, I'm like, bro, I'll give you a reason if you really want one to be worried about for us on the golf course. But like, we're just literally mind our own business playing. We just suck at golf. We're trying.

If you really want something to complain about, we'll give you something. I was a little worried by the guy that was like playing behind us. And then he like walks up and was like, oh, boy, we're, you know, he's, you know, he's, going to be saying something we're doing something wrong he's like hey it looks like you guys need a shot and he pulled out an ice hole bottle it was great dude and i was like why why is the pro being so mad at like everyone's fine here it's because we were having fun but i to be fair was with this guy and he does look like trouble yeah jake and him pulled up looking like we were going to reckless golf but other than that we didn't do anything wrong and i don't know my my recollection might

have been hazy i think i had about six transfusions definitely like paid your paid your way For playing on their golf course. Oh, yeah, for sure. You made more third time. All angles. Even if you didn't get the drinks, it was expensive. I could not believe how expensive it is to play 18 holes. There's like $100, which is crazy.

Well, I mean, and there's different tiers to it. We were playing on like a nicer course, but. Yeah. It's just surprising me because so many people golf and they golf every weekend, if not two times a weekend. And I'm like, damn. They just get membership. How much is a membership? Season past.

$740. Oh, nice. I was just. I mean, if you're going to use it. these people are spending a lot of money otherwise i was like stressed out for ben because ben actually golfed yeah and i actually that's my home course guess what ben was stressed out for ben too yeah yeah and i'm at home i'm seeing this honestly i literally just saw how cg and jake pulled up is almost though i'm just like this is a circus so now all right so

so cj had mentioned that you know he's trying to get into golf along with the rest of the guys right so like i enjoy golf if i want to do something fun i go golfing like that's that's been my thing. Thankfully, Evan also enjoys golfing, too, and he's a good player. So, like, that has been, like, me and Evan's thing that we just, like, we'll go and do. Rich enjoys golfing. He's a good player, too. And, uh, you only be him by one stroke. So, like, that's, like, our thing. But now the rest of the guys are, like, getting into it and they're bad, right? It's honestly, it's golf etiquette. Like, you just have, you just have to act differently when you're on a golf course. It's just, like, country club rules. It's, like, Cheeto as it is. Yeah, yeah.

Like a little prissy band. You don't have to do that. You just have to be, like, respectful of the course and, like, you know, like, you're super rich. People that are there, like, take a lot of pride in the golf course. Like, that is, like, their, like, their little piece of paradise, right? Especially, like, the locals, like, like, Evan's dad that lives on the golf course, golf's there every single day.

Like, they don't necessarily just take kindly to, like, outsiders coming in and just, like, acting fools, right? Makes sense. I feel like I've just been conditioned differently. Exactly. No, no, we know. We have. And the way that we have experienced golf or the way that you guys have experienced golf in the last six years is like could not be the more polar opposite of that, right?

But it's just like a different standard, I guess, of like when you go to a golf course, like they just, they just don't take kindly to fucking around. And I mean, we've seen that. I understand that. But also there's an attitude that comes within like they put themselves like above, which which isn't necessary. And that's not with every course too. but that that's like kind of your standard golf pro like they're the CEO of that golf course yeah but and I completely understand we've done a lot of horrendous facts on a golf course I mean when we go there and we're just minding our own business playing good and I know these people don't even know who we are

and they're coming out I'm like man this is these people are just something else I have so much fun reckless golfing like it's the greatest especially with that start cart but it is so stressful for me like literally I probably was a year old when I started playing golf. I done it my whole life. So I just know how you're supposed to act. And everything we do is so criminal. Yeah. It's like when we brought Grandpa Ron there.

Like Grandpa Ron golfs every single day. He lives on a golf course. And like as much of a degenerate as Grandpa Ron is, which is wild to say, he couldn't even break that, like the golf etiquette to be a degenerate with us for the video. Like, he was, like, so grained in his ways of, like, respecting the golf course. He, like, couldn't partake in our shenanigans, which is pretty standard of, like, golfers. The golfers don't fuck around. Yeah.

I mean, I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to go on the golf course and reckless golf with us. I just want to really make it clear. I'm not complaining about how they treat us when we're reckless golfing because that's super deserved. I don't think that they should be so hard on us. It is crazy, though. Like, you guys do more damage to the golf course when you're actually golf. I agree. 100%.

Then when we're reckless golfing, like straight up, when we're reckless golfing, like if we jump a sand trap, we just go and rake the sand trap, and it's perfectly fine. You would never even know that we're there. Like,

we don't fucking drive on the greens or, like, do burnouts or donuts in the grass, like any of that. Like, the golf course does not get damaged when we're reckless golfing. When you guys are actually golfing,

taking divots out of who knows what, the greens trying to put, you're so bad. for real ken you're leaving you're leaving uh fucking your your irons all over the course that's ken you are you are you're not raking the the sand traps because you don't even know that you're supposed to do that you didn't rake your sand traps can you can doesn't even know what how to golf in the slightest you were you were playing ahead of us you were not playing behind us so you cannot be throwing those accusations i've played golf with you before but you know i think that it is

probably misconstrued that like we're just like damaging the course which we don't You know, it would be a great business owning a golf course. There's one for sale in northern Minnesota. I don't think it's that good of a business. There's a lot of overhead. Yeah, you're probably right. To maintain the grass and have a decent course, and it's just, I don't know. I think it's very expensive.

A lot of courses are like municipal, so they're owned by the city. Good, golf is super fun, though. I really do like it. And, like, I'm craving it right now. Like, I want to go hit some balls. It's so fun. Once I, once I learned. Good shot.

Once I learned how to hit it somewhat straight, it is super fun. Yeah, and you did. You picked it up, but you're a terrible putter. Your short game is actually insanely bad. Everything up to that is trending in the right direction, but we'll get on the green and see you a four putt from 10 feet. It's insane, actually. He'll put past the whole 10 feet, and then he'll put back another 12.

I'm, like, on there getting for, like, double bogies and stuff. If you really think about it, if I just knew how to putt, I would actually be a pretty good golf. Yeah, isn't that frustrating, though? You go, look at how much ground I covered with like one or two shots and then you're 10 feet from the hole and you triple up the score. Dude, I'm so frustrating. I'm just so new that I'm not even mad about it.

I'm just happy that I'm even competing and driving the same direction as everyone else when we hop in the carts to go to our balls. Dude, yeah, golf, it really is the greatest sport. I quit golf when I was in high school because I was like also just on the fringe of like getting good at golf and then I quit and I didn't. play golf for like eight years besides for like us reckless golfing and now I'm like trying to gain like the skill back but it's like one of those things that if you start golfing when you're young you're just like immediately 10 years ahead even if you golf like a couple times when you were

younger it kind of is anything it's not just golf it is anything but if you get a little natural with it when you're younger makes such a big difference above being an adult trying to learn that yeah we're ken picking it up when he's 25 years old is just like horrendous i'm trying though you are trying can i'm proud of you being out there even though it might get me banned from my local country club yeah i do want to say that i was like i was trying to be good for you i was not trying to get in trouble because i kind of want to go back there too you know yeah and everyone's like underneath my you know i'm i'm setting the tea times party yeah and so like every time you guys get in trouble just which usually is whatever i don't care but i think the worst like the one thing

that I actually enjoy doing, like, on my own time. Yeah, that we just came in and marooned for you. Oh, we're going tomorrow, so. Our group was doing good. We were just doing best ball. Scramble, you mean? I'm willing to bet. Sure.

Best ball is where you play your own ball until the end of the hole, and then you take the best score. Oh, no, we just did every, every hit. It was just like, oh, who got the, okay, we're doing a scramble. Like, if I hit, Ken hit, and you hit, and you hit, but Ken hit the best ball, we'd only play off Ken's. Scramble. Yep. Last thing about golf, CJ accidentally outed you to your girlfriend. I posted my thing on my story. It was $1,100 for my set. And she's like, nice, nice. You did worse than CJ. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, oh, really? Yeah, he got a bag with his, but he paid more. And she's like, what? And I was like, no, you're good. Well, she was like, she goes, so how much money did he really lose in Vegas?

You said that? She said that. She said that. Damn, dude. Alex. Is this pocket watching you? I don't know what. Well, I think maybe just because I told her like, yeah, I just went and picked up some clubs. She's like, really? You picked up golf clubs? Like, aren't those pretty expensive?

I was like, no, I just got the middle ground one. She's like, oh, okay. But yeah, I kind of knew if I would have told her they were, whatever, $1,100 or $1,500 or whatever it was. I don't, she would be like, that's a lot of money. I'll tell you why that is, though, CJ, it's because, like, I was dealing with this with Greta for the last couple years until you're like engaged, they think that,

every single dollar that you make should go towards like a ring and like anything that isn't that is like competition to them so like i'd be looking at cars and greta would like visibly get mad she'd be like what you need another car i'm like why do you care she's like i don't know it's just like i just really don't think that you need that if ben gets another car is just gonna push the engagement another year maybe two even that's what that's what they think yeah so it's like It's just competition. Yeah, dude. I probably set myself back at least another couple months with those golf clubs.

Alex against the game of golf. Now she's pissed every time CJ goes golfing. Well, good stuff, fellas. Great stuff. Let's go golfing. Yeah. I'm fired up, actually. We are going golfing this weekend.

You want to hit the range for a little bit? That's what we need. You should hit the range, and I should too. But these guys, they don't need any more practice. I would love lessons, I think. I got to do that. Yeah, we'll get some lessons. There we go.
