Starting point is 00:00:00 Henry Ford actually came to me in a dream last night. He was feeding birds and CJ shot one of them off of his bird feeder. What do you mean, CJ? You did it, dude. It wasn't me. Travis Barker's back there just ripping a solo and he's like, I needed this. When you went, where are you? I feel that, dude. Oh my God. Hey guys, new merch drop is still live.

Starting point is 00:01:12 Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. Yo, I just got a call from one of my buddies. Got a really good deal on a submarine trip to the Titanic if you don't want to go. Really? You're sending a rescue mission for the first? No, just the, yeah, the next tour. Highly discounted. Overall consensus on that is people have no sympathy for these guys.
Starting point is 00:01:32 No, I agree. I didn't want to jump. I wanted to make a joke, but I did want to get into that. It is still five people down there. And people are so cruel. They're like, it's a billionaire. Who cares? That's why people are, like, being so cruel about it.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Like, they don't have a little bit of sympathy. They almost don't treat him as if he's a normal person or any of the other people around. You know how terrifying that would be, like just trapped in that little vat. vessel. And you want to know what's a weird coincidence is before this all happened, like, I think the day before we were running through with Brian and we were jokingly like, we should make a submarine. And he goes, I could make a submarine. We all thought about for like literally five seconds. We go, eh. Not worth it. If it went wrong, it'd be just, that'd be bad. And then we just scratched the idea. And then literally like the next day or two days later,
Starting point is 00:02:22 this all comes up. I think submarines are going to get a bad rap after this, but I think that submarine was just shitty yeah yeah they were just going to like the most extreme depth yeah they were going dude if you watch the video though they got like a fucking universal game controller controlling the thing it's so cramped in there i was like holy shit that's what surprised me is it looked like they were sitting in like a tube a culvert yeah and like he's like showing all these things like they're not custom like fabricated like pieces that are on he's like yeah this handles from camping campers The whole thing doesn't really make much sense to me.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Also, I know it's like a massive, you know, where it could be. But like, didn't they just drop in over the Titanic? Well, I think it's so far down. I don't even know how far. But it's basically like if you were going to shoot a rocket into the sky and then to try to shoot a rocket at the exact same spot. It's so far. And then there's currents underneath there.
Starting point is 00:03:22 It's pitch black. I mean, you would think they'd be able to just be like, yeah, he's right there. But I guess not. Dude, the ocean is so scary to me. Like, I won't, I don't even want to go swimming. You are scared of the ocean. Like, you couldn't, you literally couldn't pay me a billion dollars to hop in that submarine and go down there.
Starting point is 00:03:36 No, you couldn't. Because I'd be like, no. No. No. Literally, it's not, well, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, but not. But like, I just don't trust anything when it comes to the ocean. I did look into that because Alondra brought up. She's like, oh, did you see like the kid?
Starting point is 00:03:52 And so the kid and the dad, like, went on all these adventures together. the dad like everybody of course assumes billionaire he was some total asshole he like pillaged poor people for his money he sold airplanes you know it's kind of a noble business to make money in i feel like and so he and his son did all these crazy adventures they went from the north pole to the south pole and then back around like they set a guinness world record they went on all these expeditions to antarctica they climbed mountains like they did all these cool things together as father and son and then i on father's day they went and did that and so like it was kind of like another thing for them pretty much if if anything went wrong on any of their previous things they did people would be like well that's what happens because that's how the general public is you know but granted this one seemed when you watch it it does seem a little bit more sketchy it does seem sketchy but it is easy to be like we'll be fine you know and just kind of brush it and you're like it'll be fine because you know we do stuff like this I don't know how many expeditions had this
Starting point is 00:04:53 submarine done I think not very many no no and they were saying this was going to be the only one this year because the weather currents were bad or something like that interesting are they going to get sued like the owner of said company i heard they were cutting corners and then it's like well okay you can save a hundred thousand two hundred thousand dollars a year but then you get sued for fifty million dollars for and you're dead and you're dead yeah most importantly you guys think you'd ever climb out Everest i don't want to say never but i guess i don't really enjoy like hiking I would climb, like, other mountains, but it's a climb. Is it hiking or like full on, like doing this?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Yeah, but you got a hike to get there. It's not just like. No, if it was hiking, I think I could do it. Well, he's not hiking. Yeah, if you're doing this shit with the ice picks, there's no way. I mean, I can do it. I mean, I'm sure I could if I really trained for it, but I don't want to do it. If we're just taking a week-long hike up it.
Starting point is 00:05:50 You guys ever watch 14 peaks? So good. Netflix series? The Netflix movie? So, I mean, that kind of shows. was more people climb it than you would think that's why i was seeing that everest the more people climbed ever this year than ever do you know how many uh i got to look it up but it's like an astonishing number like many many more people and like say in the 70s like three people climbed it
Starting point is 00:06:13 and now like thousands you got to look though the technology like how much technology has changed and like coats and tents and whatever else it's probably not as hard because you have the luxury of tools to help you and i mean i feel like if you're not besides the climbing if it was just like a hike if and you don't have a time limit it's like and i but you do you do have a time limit though like you only have like uh such a small window because of blizzards and then you have to like uh spend a certain amount of time at a certain elevation because of your blood cells and then you have like only so much time to like get up there and get down it's pretty From my understanding.
Starting point is 00:06:56 That's the part where I get nervous is all the waiting. Okay, there's a storm that's probably going to be rolling through in three days. So if we can make this last stint until then, there's always a countdown. I think in my brain, I like hiking. And then I literally could hike up D.L. Mountain. And I'd be like, fuck hiking. Get me my dirt biker snowmobile. And I'll get to the top way faster.
Starting point is 00:07:17 You guys follow our buddy Stein on Instagram. He's an adventure and a half. Yeah. We have a friend that is like, a mountaineer that's what they call him you know he he does like all these crazy expeditions and antarctica hikes and like he climb up with like skis on his back and then ski down i'm like man you really got to enjoy the grind of it to get like a four minute ski down this mountain yeah after hiking for like two days yeah camping with everything on you but the the pictures of him sleeping
Starting point is 00:07:52 at a tent in Antarctica. Like his face is like fully frost covered, probably frostbitten, like, and then you're sleeping in a tent. And I was talking to him. I was like, dude, what are you sleeping? And he was like, bro, just like my underwear. Like if you're wearing like layers, then you get like hot and then you sweat and then you get cold.
Starting point is 00:08:11 What? Crawl into your, into your sleeping bag in the frost covered tent, tent in your underwear. But like, I don't know, bro. We've slept outside a couple times. and every time planned every time planned yeah like the whole day is just built around sleeping in this location i guess i understand like the whole if you sweat thing but like it still doesn't make that much sense to me like every time we've done it i like bundle up in like four different layers i wear shoes i remember the first time we did it in utah i don't know why but i was
Starting point is 00:08:44 freezing and i think it's because i went i went down to like maybe my underwear or whatever because that's what I was told to do. And I don't know if I didn't have the proper gear or what, but I ended up waking up in the middle night, like, frantic. I think I ended up just going over and going to the fire. Yeah, it's weird. I grew up with them telling you that, too. They tell you sleep in your underwear as less clothes as possible.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And then I did it and I hated it. Ever since, yeah, I wear a hoodie, maybe even a coat if it's winter. Mike, you sleep in your clothes when you're sleeping up here. Yeah, stay warm. I'm pretty cold overall like I grew up wearing pajama pants. Not to school, but to bed. Really? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Like I wore, yeah, like, pajama pants, like every night. Maybe not in the summer, but. Like full kit, matching top and bottom? No, no, no, no. Dinosaur. Just like a free shirt that I got with my football cleats in fifth grade that was a medium, so it fit me for the rest of my life. Okay, got it.
Starting point is 00:09:41 But honestly, going back to the mountain things, the mountains is too unpredictable for me to, like, actually go out there and do mountaineering, I think. I think it'd be cool. I'm on the mounds all the time. What do you mean? Yeah, but not. I'm on like a powered machine with plans to go home, you know? I could imagine doing like a hike and go way out?
Starting point is 00:09:58 I don't know if that's for me. Ken had to stay out sleeping. I know. I wish he would tell that story. Well, he's never been the same since. Yeah, that's why you remember him before. He had plans of doing backflips and that's what did it. Doing all these crazy stunts.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Can you guys picture Ken spending the night in the mountains? No. Like unplanned? I don't think they slept. I wouldn't probably If they were there the whole night I mean spending the night It's so shitty
Starting point is 00:10:25 I can't believe I left my Blackberry at home My phone's dying My phone I can't operate it with his cold fingers Did you guys see the The concert at Red Rocks With the hail? Oh I didn't hear about that
Starting point is 00:10:41 Yeah so there was this giant storm That came through Red Rocks Everybody of course That was there is pissed because they got no warning and just the storm came out of nowhere. They don't have a weather app on their phone? That's kind of what I thought.
Starting point is 00:10:54 But look at this, dude. I've never seen hail or rain or anything like this. Look at that shit, dude. Damn. Dude, I mean, yeah, that's like you can't be outside at all. At least it's not like freaking baseball side. That's, look at it. And everybody stuck outside.
Starting point is 00:11:14 And apparently Red Rocks doesn't let you bring umbrellas. kind of fucked up everybody's pissed at red rocks because they didn't like give them notice and stop the weather and red rock's response was we'll talk to the or we'll talk to mother nature next time that's what i would have said too what he's supposed to do yeah exactly and they would have been pissed if they canceled the concert
Starting point is 00:11:36 they would have been like and it didn't rain you know overall some crazy phenoms of outside i don't blame you for being scared of the ocean and i don't blame anyone for being scared of the ocean or mountains was probably the two greatest forces on the earth or even red rocks now or even red rocks and hail going to a gosh dang concert yo before we completely move on from the submarine story though one of the billionaire's son was caught at a caught at a blink 182 concert on like while they were in search for his dad I think they were all just making jokes like this dude is just waiting for his inheritance did you see his captioned oh no yeah
Starting point is 00:12:16 He wasn't caught. He posted a picture of himself with a caption saying. Yeah, I say caught. If he was caught, then I think it'd be one thing. If I was to mysteriously disappear, I wouldn't want my family to, I mean, like, what are they going to do? Swim down there and get me? Yeah. If I'm lost in the field back there, yeah, come look for me.
Starting point is 00:12:34 But like, you can't swim to the bottom of the ocean. Yeah, go live your life, you know, but that he posted like, they would want me to do this. It was so strange. It just made me think this kid has had the diner. diamond spoon in his mouth and has no sense of reality yeah probably barely even knew his dad who knows you know yeah i just thought it was funny because it was blink 182 like i i picture them just yeah blink 182 of all things too just jamming Travis barker's back there just ripping a solo and he's like i needed this wouldn't they went where are you i feel that dude oh my god oh that was so funny
Starting point is 00:13:16 Oh, my. Well, I'll go to you guys. He's got to do it one more time. Where are you? He's like, I know. The internet memes, man. Oh, man. Yeah, there is no sympathy, man.
Starting point is 00:13:30 No, dude. People are tough on them. So I don't want to be tough on them. They're real people. Yeah. Who lost family members and shit. But, yeah, apparently don't go in a submarine that's built by parts from camping world. It's crazy that you have to tell people that.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Dude, so you know how well, So we don't have much retirement set up yet, but we're working on it, which makes me happy. Hold on, what do you mean? What about your water truck? Yeah, your storage unit. Yeah, I'm working on it. You're afflatable. I got a DM this morning from some gal, and she was asking if you'd be willing to sell the guitar hero set.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I was like, oh, to eBay. Yeah, I feel like it wouldn't be that hard. But adding a little context, the guys completely caught me off guard and surprised me with a birthday gift. uh of a storage unit you know they bit on it they paid 300 bucks we opened it up it was fun i'm not to lie but it was like it was full of of mostly shit you did have a little twinkle in your eye when you were looking at it yeah yeah i can't deny that i had fun and i don't know we found out evs a little hoarder too yeah just jumped right in there was ever was crawling in the back he was he was all sweaty took a shirt off at one point because he was getting so hot and excited
Starting point is 00:14:42 the way you guys would like find something you'd turn around oh look and then like you're expecting like a nice and like we're all kind of just chilling there i don't think we were like we never did that to you we would just do it to each other no you kept looking like you guys would look back like i think there's even one cut where evan finds a broken picture and he's like and then like he's like sliding it a little bit he's like looking up like expecting someone to be like yeah he's like oh maybe they didn't see it yeah he pushed a little more he goes so yeah that was uh it was pretty fun is mostly full of shit but uh the person that used to have the storage unit is in jail
Starting point is 00:15:22 so yeah ken found that out real quick she looked like she was yeah she was in rough shape who is buying these things and like sifting and sifting through it and finding anything valuable and then what they sit they put it up on on eBay or do they bring it to like it's got to be someone with that owns a junkyard because there's no way you could offset the cost of your work and then disposing of all the junk. That's what you'd worry me is like you're throwing away so much. I mean, this is coming from me. Maybe they don't throw it away.
Starting point is 00:15:55 They just pile it up in their house. When you watch the show, they like only pick a few things and then they're out of there. They don't grab it. They probably filmed it like us. They have the same mentality. But also these boys get it. Then it just goes right back to the storage unit.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I think they're a little bit more deliberate and they go to like probably better storage units. Definitely. Like rather than. And they're paying more than 300. well and it's fake it's fake but even like like i watched dannies and he did the same thing a while back and uh it was just like obviously a different type of renter that was renting his so like there was like computers and shit i'm pretty sure all the stuff in at least the place that we
Starting point is 00:16:35 went is just junk yeah i don't think anyone's keeping much nice stuff in there and if they are they're not defaulting on their payments yeah that's the biggest thing that's the other time when they're like losing their unit it's like why would you ever put something nice in a storage unit anyways once you like something really valuable you'd probably want to just keep well it depends on yeah really value anywhere to put it yeah i guess but i imagine a lot of times they just like don't know what they have or if they inherited it from someone i think that in those shows that they obviously plant things and we were thinking about we were going to plant something in there but we were like what would mike get excited about and we're like we couldn't come up
Starting point is 00:17:15 up with anything that would like on the spot you funny make you more excited than like the next thing in there we're like a pile of junk let's just roll the dice see what's in there he figured you'd find something in there you'd be excited about kind of thought i would too i mean not that i didn't but i think you were pretty excited mike i mean you were fairly i got some fish some fishing tackle boxes oh that's good and that way since i'm such a bad fisherman if it gets caught in the weeds and just cut the line i'm just constantly another snack the owner messages Ryan like hey thanks for clearing everything out we're like we didn't clear everything out never know what happens we go up to evan's house in a couple months
Starting point is 00:17:56 we're walking around at all wasn't this stuff from the storage unit he's got that poster yeah Evan went back there we thought he was going home he was just really cleaning out the unit i was i thought about jokingly do it but it's it's not worth the work but going there and like clearing it out and then like i mean i don't know bring him to the trash but then having you guys come up to it to go handle it and then be like oh yeah no i grab most of that stuff yeah yeah it ended up here yeah oh man it'd be funny if you like filled your whole office full of it like you like barely like only it's just like a small little path right to your chair and then it's just like piles around it was actually a real concern when we started noticing things of like moderate
Starting point is 00:18:36 value like the cooler and the bike and stuff i go in the plant i go dude that plant's gonna be in micah's office in about 24 hours you know we're like man maybe we should try to find something either nicer or even more shitty that you can't have any of it i think i got to figure out my life if you guys think that plant actually you might have ended up in my office dude we put all that stuff uh in evans trailer because it was so much stuff that it like fell out so we just threw some of it in there and the trailer stunk the trailer didn't smell all that good before that was evans trailer no it's no it's not worse it's i disagree but yeah it stunk so bad Well, it went from smelling like dirt bikes and Evan Sticky Hinder to old storage unit.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Smoky clothes. Yeah, smoky clothes. Honestly, I'm a little, like, weirded out with the stuff after, like, seeing the gal. And, like, she looked like she was possessed, dude. And now she's in, like, prison fucking was lighting shit on fire. She's messing around, yeah, definitely on drugs. Yeah, nothing around. But, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:35 It's just like, I didn't like it. Yeah. Yeah, it is weird once you know the person we end it. Yeah. Okay, so with hoarders. big wrench our mechanic was was uh he's got a couple apartment units and uh he was saying that he has a hoarder in one of his apartments no he had to go in there and fix some stuff in the unit and like opened up the door and like legit tunnels to get through the unit and he was like i i don't
Starting point is 00:20:02 know if this dude leaves and he leaves everything like i don't know what the process would be like yeah yeah you'd have to one time when we picked up uh I was just like a shitty car for a video. I think it was me and you, Ben. Do you remember going inside that guy's house? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a hoarder. Like in the country.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Yeah. Yeah, like had like old bean cans. Like, it was just throwing like, it was just garbage piles and piles. And like, it was like really sad, honestly. I couldn't believe that he even like invited us in the, to like sign the papers. It was just kind of like. Did he have like? He obviously had not really.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Like signed it on the. I would say it was like a health hazard living in that. Oh, yeah, for sure. Like it was mold. It smelled so bad. I couldn't believe it. Nice guy, but yeah, I was sad. Yeah, my mom used to have one across the street and then he died, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:20:57 And then homeless people took it over and then they kicked the homeless people out and then vandals took it over and then turned all the faucets on. And then the house flooded and then got, it basically froze into a brick of ice. so then the city turned everything off and then left it and then when the spring came it started on fire so then they tore down it was a real real wild occurrence going across the street vandals took it over like just some degenerates
Starting point is 00:21:24 basically yeah like punks I don't know what type of person but people like come over and spray paint it and tag it and then they would go inside and fuck with it it's so weird how you can have like nice well kept like pristine house and then right across the street it's like drug dealers and shit and if you go a block north where like my aunt and uncle live shit's nice up there like you drive through and you're like
Starting point is 00:21:46 whoa block to block one block south with my mom's on it's like i mean you know her house and the neighbor's house is fixed up decent but like some of those houses are not not good no it's very it's weird dude how that can happen you can pick a lot of things in life but you can't pick your neighbors no fuck that's true you hear about people all the time getting in issues with their neighbors and like killing them and like not maybe not that common but like you hear about neighbors murdering each other yeah because they just i i feel like it just starts this animosity that you see each other and then you like think that they don't like you more than you don't like them and you just like build and then just grow to hate each other yeah you got to break that you got to just try to live in peace
Starting point is 00:22:31 for sure yeah we had like a little bit of an awkward situation with uh our neighbors well one of them when you didn't buy the phone book from them yeah oh really yeah so dude i'm not kidding we didn't talk i mean we didn't talk since that was last so we've been in that house for three years damn dude just go buy the damn phone book no i did so get this so we've been the house for three years well that that's what that's that's the point it's well i didn't realize that so let me just tell the story or do you want sorry no i actually haven't heard this story what is entertaining well that's what do we need well i said that as a joke i didn't even think that was going to be the issue. Mike, myself and Ken, we own a house together. Mike never stays there,
Starting point is 00:23:13 but Ken and I do. I'm out there doing something with the yard. I think I was trying to fix this jet ski lift. We were going to film at like 10. So it's hotter and shit out. I'm probably hung over. I'm wrenching on this thing. I got no time. And the neighbor comes over who like great guy. Like we've been like buddies and nice, you know, whatever. His wife would bring us cookies all this. Really nice guy. Bird watching type fella. And he comes. It's just like the sweetest old man and he comes walking over and he's like, hey, you know, it starts chatting to me and I'm kind of like in a rush. I don't really got time, but and then he starts talking about the lake, like the phone book
Starting point is 00:23:50 for the directory for the beach. And I'm, and he, he asked if I want to buy one. I don't got my wallet on me. I don't want to run inside the house and get it because I'm all dirty. It's a, it's a fundraiser though. I didn't realize that. I didn't realize that. and I just basically said no I don't want it like I just like I don't I think we're good we don't
Starting point is 00:24:13 need a phone book I got I got the internet yeah yeah well I'm thinking to myself I'm like I'm I don't need to call these people like why would I look someone's like I got no reason to and then he goes well okay so what do you want me to put should I put your name in the directory or all three you like it's right next to our address I'm like thinking to myself I was like I don't really want my name or Mike or Ken's name with our address double turned down being given out to the yeah so I just go no I think not that either so I basically did the double turn down and he was like I definitely wasn't expecting it and I feel bad about it can't imagine anyone has turned
Starting point is 00:24:52 down yeah the number in it too then it's like I don't want the neighbors I don't think he realized that but I'm just like I don't want because then it's like no for you it makes it total yeah but he maybe didn't understand that so I'm thinking like The next door neighbor could, or 10 houses down, their grandson goes, you know, oh, well, that's CJ's number right, you know, and then next thing is, buddy's got it, everyone. And then my numbers leaked like Big Ken's. And so anyways, I just say, no, no. And it was like, I could tell right then and there.
Starting point is 00:25:21 It was like something switched. And he kind of was, okay, well, I guess we're done here. And that's literally what he said. He walked over. And I was like, whatever, you didn't think anything of it. And then Mark, who lives two house. is down from us, starts talking me, he's like, oh yeah, do you buy the directory
Starting point is 00:25:38 or the phone book, wherever the fuck they call it? And I go, no, I told him, and he goes, oh, yeah, that's like the, whatever, you know, you pay, that's just like you pay to the association, it's just, like your donation for the, yeah, it's like everyone has to chip in for the fireworks or whatever. And I go, no, I didn't, I, now I feel bad or whatever. And it was very obvious because we didn't talk all last summer.
Starting point is 00:26:02 That happened in May. And then I made sure I felt bad about it, but I just never went over there. And I should have just gone over right away and cleared it up and bought one. How made you buy it this year? I texted them. I go, hey, want to get some phone books? I'd like to get a couple more, you know? Like I said, heard I missed out on something big last year.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I can't remember exactly what I said. That's for sure the first time you've ever said to text that said that. Yeah. And then it's like 80 bucks. Which isn't, I mean, yeah. it's like it's not cheap maybe like guys throwing a 50 for the fireworks i don't even need the phone book yeah yeah so i was yeah anyways cleared it up but uh yeah that's good here i figured the neighbor that didn't like you was the one that when you shot the firework over their head that was at my
Starting point is 00:26:48 parents house well that was the one fourth of july i don't know do we tell that's well that was a build that guy's always been a dick though he's just like a dude that just kind of he's like one of those dudes that like sits in his yard and is always doing something in his yard and just Every single time that I drive by, I'll wave, never get anything back. Like, one of those kind of guys. Because Ben's parents and my parents live on the same road. So, Ben and I basically would go past him. But I grew up one house over from him.
Starting point is 00:27:18 So there's like a neighbor, but then he's the next house. Well, the issue is, is what started the problem with that guy is when he was feeding birds. And CJ shot one of them off of his bird feeder. CJ, you did it, dude. It wasn't me. I remember you. Why would not do that? And also, I remember you and I would go around with our BB guns and shoot birds.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Would Ben lie about it? You shot the bird. Maybe it was both of us. I think we were both possibly unloading. Like, we both had our finger on the turn. I didn't know his bird. Your lever action BB guns. I don't even know what it was, but they were just chuned.
Starting point is 00:27:59 It was just like a fucking black bird. Who gives a fuck? Well, when your feet. When you're feeding them, you are probably the one that gives a fuck. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. That wasn't cool. But also, we were little kids, like probably fourth grade.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Yeah, I mean, it's not being 18 and shooting birds, like, what's the problem? Ben and I walk around the neighborhood with Red Rider BB guns at 18. No, we were like elementary probably. That's where the problem came from, though, I think. Dude, that guy's got to get over it. We're little kids. Like, anyways. No, Tweety.
Starting point is 00:28:31 And I'm sure they don't like because we all. always be going past on loud cars or our dirt bikes, whatever. Yeah, to be fair, we probably like terrible neighbors. Yeah. And then the whole fireworks scandal. Well, let me get to the fireworks scandal. So it's 4th of July. I come home early because I'm pretty larried up, if you know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:28:51 And this, I would have been like 22 probably. And not 21. I don't know how old. It's stupid. Yeah, yeah, you're like young, stupid. And I still am, but not the young part. And so my little brother is him and his buddies are like standing around They got all these fireworks sitting next to them
Starting point is 00:29:10 They're probably I don't know Eighth grade CJ grabs him Youhoo shitheads I go What the hell are you guys doing? You're not shooting off the fireworks They go oh no the neighbor said He got mad and told us to stop
Starting point is 00:29:24 Because I don't know Like the noise They said it was they said The 4th of July was over And it was like literally 1201 I was like no you don't stop shooting fireworks at just because now it's technically july 5th when it's 1201 so i go so i fucking uh i start taking the fireworks and i'm shooting them off and i'm like
Starting point is 00:29:48 if a guy like that tells you to do something ridiculous like that don't listen to him like i'm telling them all the wrong advice like but uh you know and uh so i'm shooting they start shooting fireworks off i'm shooting with him he comes he comes back over and he goes and he comes back over and he goes and like yells at it's like didn't i just tell you to stop and i now i'm there and i go it's the fourth of july and he goes oh their idiot captain is here he goes no he goes like oh you're a big tough guy now huh and i was like no and i just it's the fourth of july we're going to keep shooting fireworks off and then i take the bottle rocket and i shoot it over his house right out of my hand i shot like probably four or five of them and then my like i start really i'm like i'll
Starting point is 00:30:30 fucking show you loud i start shooting him off over his house out of my hand. What the? Yeah, it was pretty bad. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but he's being a fucking fun hater on the fourth, like if it was June, August, July 7th, like, let the kids have their fun. So I start doing that. And then finally my dad comes out because I think, he's like, hey.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Oh, I think Jake Wynn got my dad because he was like, oh, he's maybe being bad. And my dad came. He's like, like, Siege, come on, let's go. But even my dad agree. He goes, no, that guy was in the wrong to tell them to stay. stop, you know, like let them have their fun. Anyways, I had to go over there and apologize, like, a day later, two days later. Yeah, what that looked like?
Starting point is 00:31:12 Very awkward. Really? Well, it was him and his whole family sitting down out front, and I walked over, and I was like, hey, you know, I'm sorry, yada. I was so larried. I didn't say larried, but I just, you know. And I don't know. They said it was cool, but his fucking wife was just like glaring at me the whole time. Well, that's probably the reason that he came.
Starting point is 00:31:32 He was getting, he was getting his ass chewed inside. Oh, tell those little fucking kids, shut up. He's just sick of listening to her. And then he goes out and then he got Captain Idiot out here. I still don't really kicked up. I don't really think I'm in the wrong for shooting fireworks off. I think maybe the way I handled it was poorly, but. No, I'm an advocate for that.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I'd say 4th of July, let it rip till as late as you want. I think, yeah, people like not even that far down also were like, they constantly shoot fireworks off. I'm like, you're coming at us when little brother's got some bottle rockets. Like, I'm glad I don't live over there anymore. I don't have to see them. Fireworks are such a strange enjoyment. Like a bunch of folks just all sitting around enjoying
Starting point is 00:32:16 some colors in the sky. They bring something out of you, dude. Burning money, man. So I was trying to kind of grasp it. I didn't even know what to look up because I wanted to know the whole number. So it's like, so fireworks are expensive. Everyone knows that. How much money per year is being blown up in the sky like i just i just want to know like worldwide i don't know if that technically though it's it's just going in the economy but yeah other people are you know
Starting point is 00:32:41 because well yeah yeah no it's not just like money disappeared it's not like you just took a hundred bucks and lit it on like 25 grand a night for disney's fireworks show this wow uh it says in 2022 the total consumption for fireworks on the fourth of july is 2.3 billion dollars i don't get super off on like the the lights and stuff in the sky I like, like, the loud ones or, like, actually using them to blow stuff up, like, old microwaves or, you know, whatever. We used to be on that. I know. I wish we could do that.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Our explosion era. Yeah, we would, like, if there was anything, like, you had garbage. Blow it up. You could, yeah, blow it up. It was like, oh, next time we get some fireworks. This couch is, you know, we got a new one. We could maybe give this to the neighbor or whatever or sell it on Craigslist. Blow it up.
Starting point is 00:33:28 We did that with a jet ski. So at our old shop. If you guys have been watching for a while. Legendary video, I have it. I'll find it. We had this old shop that was a part of Shop Association, H-O-A. And we had an old jet ski. And our buddy Tint got like these insane fireworks.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Like they're M-80s on steroids. Like they're crazy. And so we put one of them inside this firework hole. It was a jet ski. That's what we called, though. The firework hole. Yeah. A firework girl, you're looking at a new jet ski.
Starting point is 00:34:03 So is the firework hall reinforce us? Where's going to be the best place to drop those in? We put this firework in the jet ski hall. We start it. Everyone's just running in all directions. You didn't have to go very far because there were shops everywhere. It was just in the middle of them, right? You just had to get behind one of the shops.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Boom! Firework goes off. Jetsky goes higher than all the shops. To this day, I haven't seen anything explode quite, like it. No, it was perfect. Fiberglass everywhere. Landing on all the roofs, there's little jet ski parts.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Ben, you're making me miss, well, and stuff. Yeah, dude. Or when we had fired myself up. We would take the garbage cans, and we'd put them, we'd put it under, and it'd blow them up so high, and then pretty soon we had no garbage cans. So we had, like, if you wanted to throw your trash, you'd to walk outside and actually go to the dumpster. Because, I mean, you know, there's a little bit tighter time, so buying, you know, four new
Starting point is 00:35:00 garbage cans we had money for the fireworks but not enough for the garbage cans took a week or two yeah like we got so excited about that shit like the couch the couch cushion blows up and it's like spinning onto the roof and we're like we could never do that again the couch cushion landed on the roof how did we end up there until the wind blew it down oh is that what we did see it from the fucking yeah you can see it from the road couch cushion and a burned couch dude it we almost burn that shop down at least like seriously close calls four to five times yeah this one never insurance company we're so safe no we've never had any chance or anything like gold shop okay we just are out of our fireworks phase yeah we're not lighting stuff on fire anymore we're not that
Starting point is 00:35:48 cool i mean what did we light off in the field yeah the jeep oh that car the explorer remember that and then it started on fire because that was another one of tints fireworks oh no that one started from a gas leak yeah anyway what about the time that we had big reno out and we lit off that
Starting point is 00:36:06 the oven yeah the dishwasher I still find oven pieces laying around in the field that thing went high the oven was one of the best ones ever it was after the circle slip and slide
Starting point is 00:36:16 basically YouTube does not like fireworks they probably don't even want to say in that word maybe we can do it on Snapchat now yeah we should get back into it we should get back into it I feel like we yeah it's like as soon as we're filming it
Starting point is 00:36:29 We almost just, like, kind of let it go from our life. It was kind of fucked up of us. Yeah, I was going to say we should, I mean, whatever you guys want, but I always like, I want to buy fireworks and then, well, at first, we should put on a little show. I'm like, no, F that, you know, like, what are we going to do? Go buy $500,000 worth of fireworks. You need a lot more to put a show.
Starting point is 00:36:46 I could see you doing it. No, I was just saying, I was like, yeah, I want to go get some fireworks and, like actually put a show on? No, no, no, the opposite then. I was like, no, I want to do some dumb shit with him. Nice. Mike starts passing off fires. In the history of the world, nobody's ever said,
Starting point is 00:37:01 let's you dumb shit with fireworks. I saw a picture of a guy giving a thumbs up. It's like happy 4th of July, but it was just like he didn't have any fingers and it was just a thumb. Yeah, dude, you got to be so careful. Throw it reverse, Terry. Back it up, Terry. Terry, what is you doing?
Starting point is 00:37:17 Terry, oh, God. Yeah, if we give Tint the go-ahead, though, you know he'll be here tonight with a truckload of those fireworks. Oh, God, yeah. I've been waiting for you guys. We had one sitting on our kitchen counter for quite a long time until Alex cleaned. And it was like, I think if you lit it off and hear it'd blow the windows out of the shop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:37 That's what lost to your hearing, wasn't it? Yeah, that's why I can't hear shit anymore. No, this one's bigger. No, this one's even bigger. I'm all scared to just have it sitting there. I know. We need to get rid of this. Yeah, we should go light that thing off right now after this.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Yeah, I'm down. Okay. We'll do it for Snapchat. Perfect. Another reason to follow us on Snapchat. We'll put every individual Snapchat in the description. We've all been posting on our personal. Dude, we even got Evan.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Evan's got like an iPhone 8. Evans is the best fucking thing because he goes up north and he put his hold on the magic camping trip on there. And I was like, man, this is gold. I was laughing hysterically. Yeah, I was laughing at the slim. Slim and then the van. They're in the Astrovan.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Then they go, we call it Susie or something like that. And then two minutes later, Susie's got a flat tire on the side of the road. They're all drinking teas. And that's doing a burnout. They're so northwood. But anyway, with that firework, I was on the kitchen counter and I was like holding my hands and playing with it.
Starting point is 00:38:31 And then later that day, we went to the airport and, you know, they test your finger for like bomb residue. And I was like, shit, I was holding something that like. They must be pulling you aside for something, right? They always pull Ryan aside. Yeah. Ryan willingly goes aside. Test me. I don't even.
Starting point is 00:38:46 I don't know. He takes his pants. They don't they don't stop him. He's like, hey, you want to just double check. I'm not sure if I left anything. Put me in the back room. pat me down you do get stopped every single time going through tsa but to be fair you usually get stopped and there is something in your backpack or or like something in your baggage and you're like
Starting point is 00:39:07 oh fuck forgot about that yeah one time i went through a tsa and uh through my backpack on the counter went through and the lady goes do you have something that you want to tell me about in your bag and i go oh fuck you know did i question is that you better have something real bad in there that's what i was like oh man i don't know what is it and i'm like i don't i don't think so and she opens it up and it was full of Gatorade. Like, I had like nine Gatorades in there. And she was like, I was like, oh my God, I can't even forgot about this. And she looked at me, she's like, wasn't it heavy?
Starting point is 00:39:38 Yeah. And I go, yeah, now that I think about it, yeah, it was really fucking heavy. But I just forgot about all my Gatorades. And you're just slinging Gatorades. And I think she thought I was like trying to, yeah, get something. Five bucks. She was probably thinking you had something else in there because I'm sure like it doesn't show Gatorade. So he's like, what, you got some bottles of liquor or something?
Starting point is 00:39:59 No, it was weird. Every time I go through TSA, I get this, like, little thing in the back of my head. As soon as it's coming through, I'm like, oh, shit, is there something in there? Oh, there's, is there drugs in my backpack? I'm like, I don't do drugs, but maybe I started doing them, and I can't remember. Do I have a knife in there or something? I'm like, I don't, I don't think I even own a knife. You're, like, in front of, we'll leave names unsaid, and they go, oh, fuck, I'm hot.
Starting point is 00:40:29 I got all that, that whatever in my backpack, and they just take it out and put it in yours. And then they go through clean and you get stopped. Yeah, it is a concern. I think that's like, that's got to be like the most generic thing of, like, everyone has that same feeling. I never feel that way. Oh, really? I'm never worried about it. I'm just always like, if we're running late, I'm like, God, I hope they don't stop me just
Starting point is 00:40:52 that way I can make the flight because it would suck if you guys all dip. One time, we were going to Vegas, I think it was two years ago, and I went to the bank beforehand, withdrew some cash to lose it all, put it in my backpack, and then we're going through TSA, get up to the TSA gate where they scan your ticket, start panicking because I cannot find my ID anywhere. I'm looking through my wallet, I'm checking, dumping everything out. I'm letting everyone pass through. Couldn't find it anywhere.
Starting point is 00:41:20 I'm like, oh, shit. I forgot my wallet in my car because I started thinking back to, oh, I brought it. I had to use it to get money at the bank. And I just left it in my car afterwards. I know, boys, I'm not making it. I have fun in Vegas. And I go to Ken, our travel agent. I was like, hey, can you start, like, trying to find another flight?
Starting point is 00:41:40 He was like, yeah, here you go. And he drove us there, and it's Tesla. He gives me his little Tesla card. I'm driving home. It's like 4.30 in the morning and I get like 10 minutes down the road and I'm like replaying it back. I'm like, oh my God. My ID is in with the cash that they give you at the bank and I'm like driving down. I'm trying to get like my bag out. I unzip the bag and get the cash out. There's my ID. Nice. I hit like the where like state troopers will sit on the interstate that you can't do a
Starting point is 00:42:11 UE on. I hit that. Do a U.E in it. I go, all right. Tap the fence just for good measure. Yeah, for good luck. And I max that Tesla out. I'm doing like 120 bobbing and weaving traffic at like four in the morning, right? And silent little Tesla. I'm sweating. His white seats. I'm like sliding all over because I'm getting so hot.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Ken was sweating because he got notifications. Yeah. I'm driving 100 right now. And I'm like, I think I call Ken and I go, hold the fucking plane. And he goes, I don't think I can do that. And I go, well, tell him I'm. coming and i i get to the airport and the plane is like about to take off in like five minutes i see them like out you know start waving this thing down as i'm pulling in right there's like long term
Starting point is 00:43:00 short term parking parking i parked i might have parked that thing in handicapped i was like problem for ken when he gets home so we get to the front get through tsa thankfully no problems i get to the gate i go sweating okay i'm here i'm here i'm here they're like about to close the door lady looks him and goes oh yeah somebody already kicked you off this flight they said that you weren't going to make it so uh so quick ken was so quick to reschedule me a flight bro he booted me off of that one he goes uh he's not going to make it so you can just take him off this flight and uh they were like well let me see if there's room and i was like there should be room i was supposed to be on there and i had to call ken he had to rebook me a flight oh my god
Starting point is 00:43:43 I literally walked on and they closed the gate behind me and dude walking down the airplane aisle though and you guys didn't know I was going to make it we make eye contact and we're like yeah electric dude we cut it tight I don't know I actually don't want to tell people to do this because I want to be the only one to be able to do it selfishly
Starting point is 00:44:01 but dude in Fargo we are going through we're walking into the airport when our flight's boarding and you just like zip right through on the plane it's so easy now TSA just push shes you right through. I don't have to take anything out of your backpack.
Starting point is 00:44:16 They don't even touch you. And like normally you do the thing and then they pat you down after. But now it's just like you're good to go. Well, you guys have pre-check? No, that's what I mean. I mean, like, in Fargo, like I was through in six minutes. You guys, yeah. Like you guys go through and it's like you guys hardly even,
Starting point is 00:44:32 but obviously it makes a difference at bigger airports. Yeah, at big airports is nice. And Faro, it doesn't matter. TSA pre-check is one line. It's maybe just straight and then over. And then the other line is like zigzagging back. forth. And at most airports that we go to, there's no one in line either one. But me and Ryan have TSA pre-check. You guys don't. So we'll just walk. You guys zigzag. We walk straight.
Starting point is 00:44:54 We get there at the exact same time. Yeah, like, you'll get ahead of us. But I was like, you guys, we just got steps in and you guys didn't have to walk. Yeah. We've definitely gotten better at flying. Do you remember that one time, Mike? I feel like you and I really didn't spend much time flying. Yeah. So we were going to Utah and it was such a rush to make the connecting flight so we go to Colorado and then we're going to Utah yeah I just don't think we were kind of Mike and I were in the back we had we haven't we know anything about flying we really don't know anything yeah and and we're just following the rest of people because we didn't know where we were going you'd hop on these trams yeah we weren't following the boys
Starting point is 00:45:30 hop on the fucking tram and leave the airport when we're supposed to be hopping on a connecting flight that's already tight like boarding so we get we leave the airport by the time we We're outside of everyone. We're like, what the fuck? We are so dumb. It's like as soon as we stepped off the train, you're like, you've got to read TSA. Yes, then we have to, so we're like,
Starting point is 00:45:53 the lady goes, no, you got to go back through. And we go and turn around and look. It's the longest line I've ever seen. Do you remember that? It was like the, I pretty much accepted defeat at that. Yeah, I thought for sure we weren't going to make it. And I was just like, well, oh, well, I guess we'll, I don't know what we're going to do, but.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yeah, but we did end up making it, too. We did, and it was tight, but... But yeah, that was a first and hopefully a last is like... Yeah, we learned our lesson. It'd be like walking out of the... Through the security doors and only open one way. And then being like... What the book?
Starting point is 00:46:24 Damn, I'm supposed to get on a flight soon and now... Yo, how about a couple months ago when we hopped on the flight and Mike, you were with us, you were with us, and then you were just like distracted, we hopped on, we landed in Fargo and we go, where's Mike? I'll forever be flustered by that one, because... Yeah, like we get in through TSA And then you guys are like sick We're gonna hit the Delta lounge
Starting point is 00:46:48 Okay, cool, well I'm just gonna go find the gate And then I did And I found like the one across from it And it was so early that it didn't say You know, too Fargo It just said like to wherever it was going And so I'm like, all right well I'm chilling I don't see any of the guys
Starting point is 00:47:04 All right, now it's boarding time I still don't see any of the guys Also I don't see anyone So you knew it was boarding time No he was at the wrong gate Yeah, that's what I'm saying But you looked and you're like, it's boarding time. Yeah, and then I was just kind of like wondering what was going on.
Starting point is 00:47:17 And I'm like, well, I'm definitely going to see the guys. And then... And it's not like I'm looking at like E-46 and it's supposed to be B-12. No, it's like... You were in the one next to us because I remember we saw you sitting in the chair. And sometimes, like, some of us will sit in the... Because you're like, I don't want to sit on the airplane for 15 extra more minutes. So I'll sit here until it's like last minute and I'll walk, fucking hop on.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I figured that's what you're doing. So I walk by, there's Mike. But yeah, no one, no attention was. How the hell did he miss this one? It's no one's fault. I mean, I spend every single day with you. I don't need to walk by and hit you on the shoulder. No, but there was, you know, hopping on this play.
Starting point is 00:47:53 How's it going? Hey, but also, like, when there's five homies that roll by, the odds of one of them, like, being like, is pretty high if you guys are, if you're nice. Mike, oh, you're already, you're already blown it. It's like the odds of at least, I would say, just saying, like, oh, I'd say most, well, I keep an eye. on Evan though I worry about that kid
Starting point is 00:48:14 well then you should tell him to say what up to me when you guys walk by when you turn like 16 you can navigate the airport efficiently on your own so I figured my 28 and I pretty much did like would get the notification on the app that's like hey your flight
Starting point is 00:48:31 they yell like boarding last call and all this I think the worst part of I'm sure they hit your name too I usually that's the other part like I you know at that point I was like AirPod it up where is everyone no un-air-potted so that I could hear possibly someone say my name. You didn't have it to look around? I was looking around. That's why I'm so damn confused.
Starting point is 00:48:49 I'm really confused too because I just figured you were AirPods on, sitting there on your phone and just somehow you were zoned in, maybe watching a fucking video. I didn't know you guys saw me. I didn't see you because I didn't go to the club. It was just the four of us wherever we were coming back from because Kenny was gone. Man, when I'm at the airport, though, I don't let Ken out of my sight. No, I know.
Starting point is 00:49:12 that he's taking the quickest route. He knows exactly where we're supposed to be at what time. He ain't wasting a single ounce of energy. And I'm like, if I just keep, if I just stay with this guy, I'm in the best hands. Ken's like a bloodhound searching for a fugitive that escaped a prison. He just like, he gets this scent. He like gets off the plane. He's like, Delta Club.
Starting point is 00:49:34 And then he just takes off and you see him, his head perks up. You know when Ken's chin works up a little bit and his shoulders going back. And he's just gone. And you just pick out the six foot five man in walking through the crowd. And you just follow him and just try to keep up because he's on the case. Dude, I've learned don't ask him questions. Nope. When he's doing that too because like,
Starting point is 00:49:56 you'll stress him out. You're just, no, you're just getting in the way. You'll distract him. Yeah. Don't distract him. And don't question him. Shut up and get on, you know. Ken, I see my app tells me there's a delta coral.
Starting point is 00:50:07 You don't want to go to that one. No. That one's got the bad food. That's because you haven't registered right. This one's got the cleaner toilets. We need to walk across the airport for that one. Jesus fucking Christ, Ben. How do you not know this yet?
Starting point is 00:50:18 I've told you this 14 times. He saved us countless. Well, he's a good travel agent. He's good best. I mean, I absolutely couldn't ask for a better travel agent. Well, I could. I could definitely ask for a better. I mean, he knows his way around.
Starting point is 00:50:33 That's free. That's free. Well, I got cut off. I guess I have a love-hate relationship with it because, like, the dude is so dialed, but like has obviously a personal vendetta against me and CJ so like i wonder why yeah so like every flight every bus ride any anything that you get to pick where you go yeah he picks for us and he puts us in the worst spot i again when you book flights you don't pick your seat it doesn't say he does he does and then picks it for me and cj to make sure that we're in the back i i i don't think i don't think
Starting point is 00:51:07 he does and then like me all be sitting two rows beside you guys or behind you and then i just go i just go in the app like an adult and then move myself to where i want to sit i didn't start doing that until recently now i know you can do it i didn't know you could do that so ken with like our company credit card too little little uh tip and trick oh yeah ken knows every single credit card option and and benefit and hack and uh program that you can be on so for like the company We buy all of our merch and shipping and everything like that. And Ken's got all these credit cards that, like, maximizes points for every single dollar that we spend. Our points, I'd say even, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Our flights and hotels usually are always free. Yeah, because he's got like a car. It's like such an adult thing capitalizing on that kind of. Well, and then he goes one step further on capitalizing on it. And then, well, basically, certain cards, you can max out the amount of points in the category that you pick to make the most points in. and then he'll just start another one. Oh, he's got that shit dial. We've got so many credit cards.
Starting point is 00:52:11 So many cards. So you get the bill and it just comes. It's a stack this tall. Oh, yeah, I started up a new account because, you know, we've been shipping a lot to Atlanta. And if we ship to Atlanta, we get four times points. Yeah. No, he's got that dialed. And honestly, it's good to know that we've got specialists in different parts of the, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:52:31 You need somebody who just kind of obsesses over an obscure thing. Because then you don't have to worry about it. it absolutely absolutely and he gets us set up yeah he does uh so you guys uh you guys enjoying the new boat and churion yeah love it are you yeah dude i could how could we not be i could shed a tear over it it's so beautiful it is incredible and so we like did a video with that a couple weeks ago and uh you know we've been posting a few more youtube shorts we just mostly were reluctant to do that because we love our long form videos i mean that's our bread and butter but posted the shorts and the video of the ranger and also just the whole yeah pulling it with the ranger
Starting point is 00:53:11 was like so fun definitely the right move like and it did it just fine could it have pulled it out of the water the world may never know sure yeah there's no way we're gonna try are we good yeah we have like i want to go do that's the best truck you could what else were we're going to pull it with mike people were pretty aware that we didn't pull it out with the ranger well yeah it's going to sit in there till the end of summer and fall they'll have to stay tuned we'll pull it out I'm totally down. So anyway, the video, the reel of it going down and like, dude, when, you know, when you're real gets like traction elsewhere and gets more views, just like a YouTube short,
Starting point is 00:53:46 this one got a ton of traction to a ton of people that have never heard of us. And it's so funny. Dude, people are like, legit mad. This is why you don't pull it with a six-cylinder truck. Like, this is why you don't make that truck into a duly and think that it's a tow rig. I saw a lot like spent all their money, spent all his money on the boat, couldn't afford a big enough truck to pull it. What an idiot.
Starting point is 00:54:10 I'm like, some of these comments are genuine. They're like salty. They're mad. Yeah. It's fun to read. It's funny. It's reaching a new audience. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:16 That's how you know when they don't get it. Yeah. That's when you know. Yeah, exactly. When you just have like random like haterish comments or when you, yeah, when they just don't get it. There's like a small window to when something's going viral or or so when we post something, you know, there's like the immediate.
Starting point is 00:54:33 love from the fans and then when it blows up a little bit there's the hater comments and then the fans are always there to like defend and be like no no no this is why they did it or no you got to watch the youtube video or like you know sticking up for it and then the bigger it goes then it just gets overtaken by hater comments and then that's when it's like that's so true now it's really doing well all the top comments are not positive at all yeah either neutral or one of what's crazy I was looking we posted one video and between the Instagram real the YouTube video and the YouTube short we have nine million views wow nine million views that's that's fucking crazy in a week that's just like goes to show it just takes like a little bit more creativity to put into it you know
Starting point is 00:55:22 honestly originally we got the boat and we pulled it with the seema truck and we're like this just isn't it looks cool it looked cool but it's like nothing that special or funny and like We put, like, the hitch receiver on the ranger because for the longest time, all it had was just like the goose neck hits in it. Most, that truck is only for real heavy loads. Like, yeah, just real heavy. So this was a little bit of lighter end, but we, you know, big, we had to explain it to big wrench.
Starting point is 00:55:48 And he was like, all right, you want to pull something smaller with it. Okay, I'll put this hitch receiver on it. But, yeah, and then that and then it blew up. But so glad we did that. Like, just pop up a picture of it. Like, it's just a good looking unit. Oh, it's a good looking unit. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:01 But it's just. so out of the ordinary. Henry Ford actually came to me in a dream last night and he was you know from the spiritual world and he came down and he said he was very happy what we were doing with the Ford Ranger and giving them publicity and he said that he was going to speak to someone else and they were going to make another duly Ford Ranger and they're going to bring it back to they're going to bring it back to the old style yeah no they're just going to go find a 99 and then clone it and then and put it back out they just need to throw you know nothing they don't need to change There's nothing about it.
Starting point is 00:56:32 They just need to start making those again. Yeah, they could maybe put like a Bluetooth radio in, but honestly he said it was going to be like an upgraded feature that I do like FM, you know, when you're in the, when you're in the Ranger, nothing better. It's just whatever's on. Well, static FM radio. Arm out the window. You guys know how when Disney died, he had this whole dream of like what he wanted Disney to become.
Starting point is 00:56:55 And still to this day, how big Disney is, it's only like 15% of what he dreamed. I believe that's the same thing with Henry Ford, but some wrong people got in power at Ford, and they took the company another direction, but that's not what he wanted. It's off course. Yeah, it's off course. We need to get back to the 1999 Ford Ranger.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I think we might have to get the full-wheel drive working on that thing to do some real heavy lifting. I was like, at this point, we should spend the money and get that shit fixed. And I think a diesel swap is in the future. sadly probably not a power stroke either a Cummins or a Durhamax but a good motor I would rather do either of those than a power stroke
Starting point is 00:57:37 well it's just like power stroke I don't know it's not it's not the most popular of diesel you know sounds kind of gay power stroking oh yeah well it seems like yeah yeah what are they doing with this but yeah I agree
Starting point is 00:57:51 I thought you were saying the sound of like the motor I was like I think the power stroke sounds just fine but it just doesn't I did too because I was driving the same truck the other day. Sounds amazing. It's a good son of motor. It's hard to convince people of our marketing methods sometimes. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:08 No, we're going to pull it with our duly ranger and, you know, it's going to skid down the axis. Like, that's just one example. And it may crash into the dock. It may. Yeah, but hopefully not. That was something I thought about. And I was like, I didn't think about it too much.
Starting point is 00:58:23 I said, I'm going to do my best to make sure that doesn't happen. But if it does, we're probably buying this boat. And you just. Like we're paying, obviously, we're really paying for it too much because that's when things go wrong. Just do, don't think. Right. One of many examples of how we've benefited some companies like tenfold just because like we're like, we got a crazy idea. But it may not be orthodox.
Starting point is 00:58:45 And then we execute it and it does like way better than just like if we were just like, we're stoked on the boat. And just did it the normal way. Check it out. If you did it the normal way, like what's the fun in that? I don't think anyone. questions it anymore i don't think i don't think anyone questions it but i think companies that take the risk on not questioning it are the best yeah god bless them yeah all right let's do it we got some two turn keys to drink hey the drop still going though thanks for watching everybody
Starting point is 00:59:14 we will see you guys next week peace
