We need more mics. And it's like how safe is it to have seven, eight, nine mics? Yeah, we've got you right here. I know. Dude, we're going to run out of room in the shop. I was just walking around. I was tiptoeing around all the stuff you had back there, Mike. Yeah, if there was more of you, there'd be way too much stuff.

There'd be a lot of stuff around me. It would be. Sit on Spenny's lap. Yeah, you chime in on. Ev, you want to just take Ken's spot back there? Ken's been slacking in the tech department. Our TV doesn't even work. I figured it out.

I just took me 17 episodes. We're 200 episodes in, Ken. No, no, we only lost the remote probably like two months ago, though. Well, welcome back. Thanks, Mike. Thanks for having me. Yeah, thanks for having me. I'm Blaze Orange today.

Blaze? If you're listening, it doesn't matter. Yeah, Blaze. Can't be podcasting, hi, Mike. No, I was talking about the Vikings cheerleader. Oh, Blaze. The Vikings cheerleader. I mean, you do think about him a lot, Ben.

Well, I don't know about that. Hey, hey, I'm sure you're happy. Yeah, I mean, you're happy about it. It's a pretty big accomplishment for you and your people, having, you know, a male cheerleader out there. My fellow males. You guys got anything. Just your group of people. You guys got anything pressing because I need to, I need information from you, CJ.

From me. Yes. I saw your story and it blew my mind the other day of your dad's Corvette. Oh, yeah. How is it? Heavily assaulted. Yeah. Is that not wild?

I couldn't believe my eyes. I know. It's actually really a bummer because. So what happened? Oh, my dad has a black C6. It's very similar to the Z-06. that we're doing a giveaway on except it's like low miles and uh it's not a zero six and i mean it's convertible but he loves a thing like he he doesn't drive it in the rain he you know obviously

makes like there's not a scratch on it he parts it away from cars like he treats it like how most corvette owners treat it you know and uh just has taken such good care of this thing over the last eight years of him having it and uh basically just some i don't know if he drunk or on drugs just was walking by and just jumps up on his hood and starts just jumping on the hood so where did he have it parked just uh across the street from from where he works here and my mom works there with him too and i guess she saw it so then they run out and like my my parents are in their 60s now so like it's not like they're going to go fight some crackhead you know who's already fighting a car who keep in mind i mean i'll just play the video i don't know if the video to be

fair, I don't know if anybody should be fighting a crackhead. Yeah. He freaking... I wouldn't have pulled up. Dude, he could add like a rusty shank on him or something. Exactly. Like, I would have not even got close to him. I think you can punch a crackhead like 12 times in the face and they don't drop.

And they won't you feel it. They won't feel it. Well, he punched the glass. You know how hard that is to do to punch a glass and actually break it? He did it multiple times. But anyways, I'll just put it up on the screen here. Bro, that crackhead watched Transformers. It went, fuck these things.

Dude, and went out and attacked your dad's car. Did they have C6 Corvettes and Transformers? No, but he just, probably, it kind of looks. Dude, dude. Dude, that's my mom. So she, he was already on the hood before this. Kick it off. Keep in mind, this thing is in perfect condition.

Yeah. The cops are coming, buddy. And then he like kind of stops for a little bit here. Yeah, so then he, he circles around here. he's on drugs watch this oh what broken

but look at him he looks his hand I'm so mad dude I've never seen anybody do that in my life that is insane yeah just one hand punches

so I mean that's I wouldn't want to fight him I mean dude how about this right here yeah he's on drugs he starts humping the thing he thinks it's a fucking decepticon Replay that punch again.

That punch was insane. Watch him one hand punch it. And my dad's like, or my mom's like, he's going to break his hand. And then he just turns and looks at his hand. It was pretty funny. Watch this shit. Look at the glass.

Boom. One hit. She looks down it like, oh, fuck it. That hurts, a piece of shit. My mom was so mad. Your mother's the sweetest lady in the world, too. I don't think I've ever heard her swear. Yeah.

Yeah, it was kind of her first time, I think. Dude, yeah, I had to feel good for her. get it out but yeah i suppose but anyways yeah my dad was he's i think a little torn up still about it obviously because his prized possession just got literally fucked up and assaulted and like you know he thinks about things like he doesn't want to have an accident on it on its vehicle report for resale and like you know he spent years just keeping this thing pristine and now it's like to him it's like not as good you have to go and like get it fixed and like the guy fucked up pretty decently. My point is that he looks at it differently than we would.

Like, we would be like, what, you know, it'd be kind of funny and so we'd move on. We'd go get it fixed, whatever. But it just, it hits a little different. And then he's also pretty bum because I think he, when my mom was saying, he wishes that he would have done something, but I'm like, no, that would have been stupid to go over there and do something about it. I don't know what you could do. Dude, in Minnesota, he would have gotten in trouble for assaulting. Like, if your dad literally touched him, it would be like, well, who knows? He could have gotten the drugs on him.

Or he just would have, he could have gotten stabbed. Yeah. Or he could have, you know, end up actually kicking the guy's ass. And then it just gets flipped on him. Dude, your dad's, he's a black belt, too. He's a black belt, yeah. He's a black belt. So he could have gone up there and just kicked him in the head.

One roundhouse that guy's down. Yeah. Bro, how crazy would that have been if, like, your mom's, your mom's filming, and then next thing you know, your dad comes in, he's wearing his collar shirt and his slacks. You see him roundhouse kick him in the head. I would have loved it. I mean, fuck, if I was in my Raptor, you could have maybe, like, booted him, you know, like hit him.

But then it's like, same thing, you know. I'm not saying you run him over, but if you, like, hit him at the right speed and hit the brakes, you'd hit him like a soccer ball. Oh, good call him. You know? Yeah. Then if you end up killing him, then you're going to jail. What happened to him? So, yeah, cops came and they caught him walking down the street. But, you know, of course, a guy like that probably doesn't have any money or anything like that.

But he's in jail now. Really? No, I was. I was watching the jail roster. They let him out yesterday. What? Wow. No, they didn't.

They did. How? He's not on the jail roster anymore, so. So I don't know what's going to happen on. He spent, like, 24 hours in jail, essentially. Wow. Are you sure you were looking at the right name? I mean, I looked through.

Because my mom said he had a court hearing today. I mean, they were looking at Zoom. Like, they got, the cops sent him a Zoom thing. I was just scrolling through it. He's not on the roster anymore. Well, maybe you're looking at the wrong guy, but I don't know. Either way, I think he's actually still in jail. I think you're looking at the wrong guy.

But I was thinking. you know what could we do to like avenge my dad we we post his bail that's what i'm saying we get him out of jail he thinks that oh wow these random guys posted my bail right and then we kick his ass yeah we like bring him out here and we bring him out somewhere we yeah we all pull up in corvettes he panics he's like oh god my other idea was so we could time to a chair and then like hit a crazy rollback on him with just scare him we don't actually hurt his ears with the with the thanks no or what we do is we bail him out right and we're just like super friendly he doesn't know who we are he knows he messed up you know

a guy's corvette and all this stuff but like we're like hey you know we don't know what you did but we want to help make things right and we get him a job and like we get him like a pretty good paying job we we help him build up and we encourage him like hey like you need to buy your dream car and in like two three years like maybe probably probably take longer in that maybe 10 years down the line He's finally worked his way up. He's got some things going for him. He gets his first dream car. And then we fucking show up and beat the shit out of that thing.

While he's at work, watching. That's like a 10-year situation here. That's how you properly get revenge. I'm going to be 40 by then. If you can't hold a grudge, you can't hold anything, you know? It's how you properly get revenge. But, yeah, so basically he messed up his Corvette pretty good. And I don't know what he's going to do.

Yeah, he's pretty bummed. I think he's not an, you don't get insurance on that, dude? Oh, he could. I believe, but then you're going to have a vehicle report, you know, like it's going to say there's an accident or damage on the Carfax, which to him matters. I don't know. I think it's just a bad situation all around. It really had me thinking, the crazy you guys, I'm sure, saw Tim, the giveaway winner of Lamborghini,

some crazy metal piece flew up on the highway and hit the car. This is like the third thing that's like hit the car. And it just took out the front right quarter panel. It made a giant hole in it. but just the front right quarter panel. In this scenario, he hit the back, he hit the side windows, he hit the front, he stood on it. He hit all four corners. So that's what really stresses me out.

Like, if I, like, blew a tire in my viper and took out the rear quarter panel, like, at the end of the day, it's one part of the car to really hone in on fixed, but when it's just all angles, like, it spums me out. It's like trunk, hood, windshield. Yeah. Yeah. You know, roof. So it's like at that point, you repaint the whole thing.

He cares about it being stock, too. Like, you know, the giveaway winner of the Lambo, that guy has hit so much stuff with that Lamborghini. It's unbelievable. But that's because he's driving it. Yeah. I like the one guy. The one guy's comment was exactly what I was thinking before he even said it.

He's like, well, I guess now you can get carbon fiber fenders with the vents, you know? Which I'm like, well, shit. Yeah, that's kind of how I would think of it too, you know? Yeah. It's got to just like for your dad feel, even after you get that thing back to pristine condition, it'd be like if your girl cheated on you or something and you guys get over it but then in the back of your mind you're just like

it's just not the same It's been ran through a little bit here Yeah That is how Corvette owners think about their cars It's been beat up and don't get me wrong It's okay if he beats it up Yeah someone else is Yeah but Corvette guys ain't beating their cars up

Right Some of us are beating it up We're beating it up You ain't beating it up Sometimes it's not every week Saturday nights beating it up gosh that's funny you're running it very hard

I'll run it hard every so often there's like Corvette Ryan Bees the shit out of his but any other Corvette owner there's very few and far Ryan's few and far between I think the first time I ever rode in Ryan's Corvette

C.J is not in the room what what I miss that too Anyway Yeah I guess I don't know

Ryan I suppose you Maybe beat it up But I'm being it up Just like when it's right Not every time I mean

Exhausting On the last podcast Unnecessary Where dare Ryan explained Ryan explained How to shoot flames On his exhaust

They're talking about Beating up something else They're talking about beating up something else Sorry I was I was thinking about my dad's Corvette I was just like, man, and I'm not in the My mind wasn't in the gutter

And how he was beating it up? No. He took really good care of that. If your mind's not in the gutter, where is it? In the right place. Yeah. We were just in the right place, Siege. I had no idea what was going on.

Beating it up. What's that about? Hey, speaking of beating it up. Got my Continental back there. Ken got his continental back. It's fixed. Someone else beat it up. What was the damage?

How much did it cost? What was wrong with it? Don't know how much. It's what you cost. He doesn't have the bill done yet. Which is scary. He's really working on that bill, huh? He is. I got two labor hours just in creating the bill.

He finished the car before he finished the bill. I talked to him. I called him on Saturday. I was like, hey, I got that bill done yet. And he's like, not still working on it. Stop either today. He's like, oh, I don't have that done yet. Paul, it's going to be big.

It's going to be big. So instead of charging Evan and Gavin with the bill, I think, since you're renting it out to a number. their wedding ironically this weekend you finally got the thing back and it's going back the thing's just a wedding rental true the richest the richest guy in the area big mansion one of his sons is getting married and they are borrowing it for a wedding i've got i've got a back-end deal i already worked out we can't just back-end back-end deal with the with the guys getting married i got another deal worked out for the for that so it's the car still needs to get fixed from mike's wedding okay hold on no ken what kind

What a back-end deal are we talking about here? You don't have to worry about it. Don't worry about it. None of your business. I might not have to worry about it, but I am curious. Yeah. I'd hope I wouldn't have to worry about it. But I was talking to the guy, and he was like, yep, the one of the power steering lines just blew out. Probably from having it crank.

Crates on the red line, there's so much pressure going through that, just blew the hose out. Whenever the wheels making that noise. I literally said don't know what the steering. That was it. You said that, Ken. And you said, don't blow out the power steering. Well, that's what it was. That's great news.

Well, what happens if these guys start ripping some donuts or possibly even worse, park it in one of its numerous ponds on the property. True. They can pay for it. Now, you're right. They can definitely pay for it. Are you going to go and supervise them? No, it's not my wedding.

I wasn't invited to the wedding. But the insurance agent is going to the wedding. We were, we were all right. She could watch the thing be told it. Is you call insurance for this? No, I didn't call an insurance for it. Yeah. So you are kind of running like a rental car here.

Pretty much. It goes from one wedding straight to the next. How many times have you drove it, Ken? About 10. How many times was it on video? About four of them. So you drove it six times. Are you going to keep it?

Oh, yeah. Good, because me and Greta's wedding is next year. You know, fees going up next year. So. With inflation. What are we talking here? How much? Well, you know, there's a lot of moving parts.

You know, it's insurance. There's not that many moving parts. Insurance isn't cheap. So we can work out. a deal. A back-end deal. He'll work out a little back-in deal. There's some non-monetary deals we're working out.

Some non-monetary deals. I think I'd rather pay. What's a non-monetary deal look like for you, Ken? Trip something. We'll see. Something to tickle his fancy. Take him to Boroborah. Yeah, Ken said, take me on your honeymoon.

That's all I ask. Normally, it's like after a couple's been married for a while, not the honeymoon. I mean, if you're, as a Ken come with on the trip for the honeymoon. That's more the anniversary kind of thing. The one-year anniversary.

Slap a damn gargoyle on the top and it's a castle. All you need is a gargoyle. And a moat. You can do the gargoyle, no moat.

Yeah, you'll have five air friars. There's a normal housewarming gift, but I know all of you guys would not do a normal housewarming gift. Isn't those are the good ones, though? It's funny, but yeah. Am I going to be allowed on property? Supervised. It has like security. That's there 24-7.

Like legally you're not supposed to be there, but since you're like a business partner, you can be there if you're like on business. What about Evan and Gavin? Absolutely not. Really? Absolutely not. They're not even allowed on property. Well, they're just going to break everything. Honestly, I would let Evan on there, and I'd let Gavin on there, but not at the same time. That's a good point. Spenny was back in Canada for the last month or so, and Gavin went and visited you up in Canada.

He did come to Canada. I watched the video of you guys going backcountry three wheeling. But it was like quarter three wheeling, the rest hiking, right? Like you guys had to hike. hike in there a couple miles yeah we hiked in a couple miles gav wasn't ready for it i can't imagine he was oh because you're trying to get back to an untouched zone yeah so that had to have been more entertaining just seeing him hike right bro well yeah so he flew in landed in calgary and then i actually took him to the motot track first which was the funniest thing and i surprised him with the bw 200 from like

the 1980s and just watching him talk to the big wheel guy because of course the big wheel guys got three wheelers and then Gavin walks up and he's like so 1984 huh tell me about it and the guy's like well yeah he's like I've had it for since 10 20 years and Gavin's like just asking all these questions like I have no clue what they're talking about because I don't buy stuff from the 80s so I got legit no clue what they're talking yeah you don't yeah it's just new to me we buy it for him he loves it take him on the motor track he's actually riding it pretty good like road good it was funny because there's a bunch of like pro riders there that day like the there's a kid with a red bull helmet on the track and gavs on his little bw 200 and just like they're just trying not to land on like oh my god they're trying not to land on them like people going everywhere

gab just has no clue i was like all right gab like this is a legit track you can't just like turn on lips you need to follow the line no matter what you can't just like ride around wherever you want like this isn't like a private compound that you can just do whatever you want this isn't the freaking track back in corn wrong yeah so whatever yeah he runs it and then the next day we went on a little adventure, drove like a couple hours down gravel, and then got out to this spot, and it was like gnarly trails getting in there, gnarly cutline. And I had never wrote it before, and Gab did good. I mean, I think he said that he hit one of the biggest hill he's ever hit, and then got down close to the river, parked the rigs in the trees, left the helmets, and then we had backpacks

with, like, food, brought some steaks, cook some steaks. beans uh not beans no no beans but we had a tent and then like sleeping pads they're like three inch sleeping pads and sleeping bags and yeah we just hiked literally down a cliff like it was so gnarly it was straight down slept above on a waterfall and dude sleeping beside gavin in a two-man tent yeah was the worst thing i've ever done terrible bull in a china shop he literally rolled on to me probably 15 times oh sorry like He was literally, like, laying half on me, and I had to, like, wake up and, like, roll him off. And he, like, wasn't ever awake.

I'm like, gab, gab. Like, you're laying on my shoulder, bro. Like, you're laying halfway on my body. Zero clue. Just, he's just slumped. He had no clue that he was even. He was all tuck it off from a hike. When we were camping up on the roof of a Lamborghini, it's a crazy statement.

Two of us were staying in this little pop-up tent, right? Which is pretty wide, too. I think the Lambo is wider. than the two-man tent. I don't know. It was tight. We were shoulder to the shoulder. I just feel bad he's got his like,

he has some septum issues and it makes it really hard for him to like breathe normally while he's sleeping. Really? He's like a French bulldog? Yeah. You've never heard that. Gosh, I feel so bad. Sometimes if I've ever had to sleep in the same room.

Bro, he's just like struggling to breathe and it's like, I feel so bad. He needs to get those nose nasal strips that hold your nose open. Yeah. What is funny about that? For those of you listening, I've been sitting on the couch, and he's like our funny meter when he laughs at something. You know it's funny. What was funny about that?

I guess I missed the mark. Is Gavin sucking the paint off the ceiling? It's funny. Oh, my God. Sucking the paint off the ceiling? What's that fucking an eater? You don't snore? No.

You snore when you're really drunk, but... It was just the last time that we roomed together, I recall you saying you've never heard snoring. Yeah, it was... Mike, blew my mind. You are the worst snore in the group by 10 times. Gotta be. But I mean, it's got to be better now that you don't drink.

Yeah, now it's only by like six or seven times. Damn it. It is impressive. I didn't meet to. I didn't mean to, honestly. Yeah, we were staying in the RV and Mike came in late, of course. Wakes me up. I'm just trying to fall back to sleep.

Mike falls to sleep immediately. Oh, no, I did wake you up to. He's rolling around on, like, freaking floor. But, uh, yeah, and then Mike falls asleep immediately. And it's just like the whole RV is shaking. It's rubble. It's just like it's coming down. It sounded like it was hailing out. And it really does suck because it just, I'm so unaffected. Oh, did you hear this? Did you hear that last night? So-and-so was so loud. And I'm just like, oh, I slept great guys. Every time. Dude, our plan was actually on the houseboat. But then you, slept on the roof. Our plan

was to pull like they did in that one Disney movie where you put the purse on the air mattress and they float them out. Bro, how'd you guys not do that to me, dude? You could have gotten me. If you set up an air mattress right next to me, be like here, bud, air mattresses. I think you were up when we got up was the problem. But yeah, we should have

just done it at night. Oh yeah, night. Yeah, that's a risk of drowning or losing you. Yeah. But I would, you could have tethered me up. Bro, I still think about, like, it's been a minute since you guys woke me up with water. And I'm not mad at Ryan for this you were the one that threw it the way it splashed into me it like peeled my eyelids back and i was like in pain the rest of the day it felt like someone dug like

water up yeah shot water up my eyelids well i felt bad when i did it up to doden i did it kind of like so softly and i was like well i better get like that was kind of lame so i got to get the most out of it peel my dang eyelids back but you're so tucked up i couldn't do it on the sleeping wig like on your body anyway i was playing golf with grandpa on the other day and you know how grandpa ron's thing is uh whenever he's putting he goes hey cj turn around and listen and then he tries to make the put it's classic right just turn around and listen so on the 18th hole after him saying it all day i go hey grandpa turn around and listen and he goes oh he's laughing he's thinking it's so funny and he's uh because i i made a single putt all day and i had like a 20-footer

and he's like oh this should be good guys you know what i i just will okay and he turns around And he's like, get a loan to this guy. I drain it. Everyone erupts, right? And then he's like running around the green. He's like, he made it. He made it. Not very often.

Can you say that? And it actually goes in. Yeah, it was a pretty electric moment. The Barry bonds of putting. But he goes, you can only say that so many times and miss it. Because after a while, it doesn't carry any weight. But now, after that, you got hang it up. Did you guys see this?

I thought it was it's a different type of bike, but I guess it's a controller for Starks. Okay, yeah, yeah, I was saying. Is this real? Not Stark's, sorry, serons. And I think we should do a video with them because we mess around with e-bikes all the time. This is very Cheeto, but it's cool.

They're wheelie controllers that hold you at a certain degree. It's crazy. What? Yeah. You guys haven't seen this? No. I just, I figured I haven't seen it. It is Cheeto.

What do you just like, twist the throttle all the way? riding yeah how the gyro does it for you so you just twist the throttle dude what the heck very cheeto but it's like you'll never know who can actually wheelie nowadays yeah no you can tell though like if they're not fluctuating at all like they're obviously using a cheat controller but you can do the one hand it's it's it's kind of cool you can cheat it this is this is crazy yeah i mean i mean a video on this i think we should i think we should try it ken will be able to wheelie better than evan like ken oh shit oh literally Even with the training wheels, too, dude?

I mean, like, he's obviously doing 70, 80% with no handers, like, 80% went over the back, I guess. But yeah, pretty crazy. Yeah, so. It's just like a controller mod. What is it? It just, like, plugs in? I think it's like, you know how you have, like, your motor, your battery, and your controller? It's like a modded controller.

And so how does it know the... That I don't know. The gyro. Nothing will be more satisfying that when some squid... is relying on their bike to wheelie for them. They have no concept of the rear brake. Yeah, you're right. When it, when it fails.

I agree. Like, it's a novelty thing, yeah. I also kind of feel like you're my third grade teacher saying, you're not going to walk around with a calculator in your pocket. Yeah. You know, like, every bike probably will have it. You don't even need to learn how to wheel the end. Yeah.

Man, they took everything good from us. Yeah, it's crazy to think that if all motorcycles were electric, like all of them are just starts. They all could do. that they all could do that well i'm sure a diehard two stroke guy would be like oh you can't wheelie a two stroke you got these newfound four strokes yeah exactly yeah that that's true but uh i that was pretty cool like i saw that and i thought it was the guy just doing it himself but then i realized that it was man it's just like you gotta wonder if things are like deep fake if you're getting a i'd if you're

getting rc card i when you're watching someone wheelie you're like do they have a real modulator on it. All right, I do like, modulator. I like that term. I got to see, I got to see Ken rip that though.

Dude, I think Ken could wheel you with that. Yeah. Ah. I mean, you still got the side of the side. Yeah, but you still got to hold on.

I agree, but still got to hold on. And not panic. I would panic the first probably 20 tries. There's the thing, though, you can't whiskey throttle. That's the best part.

That is good. But I would also still panic, probably tip over to the side. Speaking of not sure if you're getting AIed, obviously everybody knows. the bunnies on the trampoline and trampolines jumping on trampolines like they did it but there's this picture of this chihuahua with a pack of wolves and i'm like this looks like ai right but it also says in ely minnesota yeah it makes it more believable in ely it's possible because

ely is like i mean how many people live in ely unless they're literally about to eat that chihuahua but why wouldn't they already be mom or it's a fake chihuahua it might be fake that's what i'm saying it could be fake. It seems random, but also it is pretty funny. You have like a pack of wolves and you're like, what's something funny to put with him? What about like, like, yeah, the biggest baby of a dog.

I'm really enjoying, like, using like the AI recreation images, but not going overboard. Yeah, Mike, you have, you have been hitting that one pretty hard. I just made the, I made the couple of the car and then I made the one of Ryan really fat. Dude, those Ryan ones are so funny. Did you pop the Ryan ones up? Like, Ryan, you had to. have seen this picture of you and gotten a little bit more motivated right bro i've been like i was

like i kind of look sick that is what could happen i made that one in like jemini but i like not going overboard like i could essentially take every photo in my camera roll and do fun stuff and make it crazy funny but it wouldn't be that funny like if you just do a couple here and there you should just make one of these that one of like 220 instead of yeah so that's what was my issue my prompt was like Make the man on the quad insanely obese. And then I said it make the man in the background freakishly tall. Ken kind of is looking like slender man back. I honestly think people don't even notice how tall Ken is because I'm so fat.

I will tell you this. I posted the one of you looking ripped. Go to the one of you ripped looking ripped. I look sick as fuck, dude. Not going to lie. Dude, you actually, yeah, that'd be a good look, Ryan. You'd have to get a bunch of tattoos. I think of you, I think of you.

That would take so much work. definitely hop on roids but ken being massive uh i posted on my story and most let's just say a hundred responses and 98% of them were about ken yeah well yeah everybody loves ken nobody gives a shit do i maybe people think i just look like that you look pretty cool there i'm not gonna lie no dude i never probably the coolest i've ever seen you look it's fucking fake you already started off your your your leg sleeve yeah it's funny actually because sitting on that quad is pretty hard to look cool But, like, it looks like I am cool. It looks like you rip it.

Honestly, a Raptor 700 is such a bodybuilder guy quad to have. It is. Like, just rip it on the street. Like, do you look on my helmet is tucked? Like, I just look like I know what I'm doing. Yeah, it's fun to do, not go overboard with. You always look cool, though. Thanks, bud.

Mike, when you started sending these pictures in the chat, I was like, when did Mike get these little model cars? I thought that was real, too. one of your truck? So many people were like, where can I get a model car? I'm like, it's not real. Bro, that's so insane. How'd you do that?

The prompt is the biggest thing. So I just got a screenshot from Facebook. Someone was nice enough to share it. You know, here's the prompt. Use the nanobanana model to create a one seventh scale commercialized figure of the car of the illustration and the realistic style and environment. Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Huh.

It's all about the prompt. It's all about the prompt. It's all about the product. If you tried to make this without the prompt, I mean, you'd be like hacking at it for days.

And I think that you're now the designated brand deal. I cut it up one way and then I saw it got reclassed. cut a different way. Should we watch it?

Have you seen the new one? I saw the video. I didn't hear the audio, but I saw the video and it looked very different from the way it was originally cut. People are going to be so entertained by it that I think that you are now the designated brand deal guy. Like, you did such a fantastic job. Am I going to the new Ryan?

Like, I get just hated on. Yeah. On the show out. On the videos, yeah. The thing is, Ken, is like, people love you. you've had this crazy character storyline right from the beginning to where you are right now and i think that it just makes the most sense for the channel that you're the designated this is being filmed before that video goes live so let's wait and see they're going to

i know people loved it and i got a feeling that people are going to love it i just think it's unfair like i had to start from such a point of neutrality but everybody loves ken dude like it is a beautiful thing like like ken just being ken reading the script Quick break in the video to bring a word for... Quick break in the video to bring a word from today's sponsor, better help. I recently turned 30, and it really made me stop and thinking. Ken hasn't seen this yet. I saw it. I saw it's in the chat.

But the truth is, life doesn't always line up with the timeline that you imagined. Crossed into my 30s brought some real tough self-reflection. I realized that I was measuring myself against old expectations, and honestly, it left me feeling a little stuck and really over. overwhelmed. I used to put off therapy because I thought it would be complicated or maybe even intimidating, but I realized that having someone else to talk to, someone who can listen and help you look at things differently. You really opened up on the sad. You wrote it from the heart. That came from the heart. That's why I'm glad in today's video is sponsored by Better Help. Better Help is easier to start therapy. You just fill out a short questionnaire. You can get matched with the therapist and as little as a couple days. Switch therapists anytime at no extra cost. I did actually use the chat to...

To write that whole script. BetterHelp is a platform you can trust. So if you've been thinking about starting therapy, click the link in the description or go to betterhelp.com slash C-Boys TV to get 10% off. You did a great job. This thing's going to win an Emmy.

Yeah, I know. I know. Dude, Ken showed me last night, me and Dawn. It's going to win an Emmy with this. It's the best ad I've seen, I think. It's insanely good. It's the type of... It's so good.

I hate the way you cut that. It's the type of thing. He's walking to the shop at 9 o'clock at night. And Ken's just standing there with the camera on a tripod. He's got chat, cheapy-t pulled up up. He was grinding. And then he goes up to Justin's office

and he puts it in this software. He paid five bucks for it to auto-cut it for him. And he sent it to the group chat. And then you took that cut, and then you just threw it in the trash and started over. You put no music on it. You put no links. You put nothing.

Yeah, because I don't have any of that software. I don't have any of the, I don't have any of the, I don't have any of the, I don't have any of the, I don't have any of the background music files on my computer. I don't know any of that. You didn't download those AI files yet.

No, I just love, like, we'll never be able to explain to Better Help or whoever the ad was for. Like, why that will be so much more successful, but. But, I mean, they just got a free plug on the podcast right here. We watch a whole dang ad. Better get paid for that. When did you become such a natural, Ken? Yeah. It took a while.

Be honest. Did that come from the heart? No. Did that script come from the heart? That's okay, but did. That script came from the chat. No way. How does your chat know you that well? I legitimately gave it a good prompt. I didn't know that we need to describe your whole life story to him. I didn't know that we needed to check in on you like that. I gave it a really good prompt. I said come up with a good life story. Come up with a good life story. And then I just spit out a script. I edited a couple things. You couldn't even use your own life story. Like come up with something good for me. Life story. Well, you need to integrate all the different talking points. He doesn't want anyone on the internet to know anything about it. So that whole thing was faith.

We got to integrate all the talking points and everything else. It's like, okay. I thought it was beautiful. I saw that and immediately texted the rest of the guys and said, do we need to check in again? You didn't text me that. That's a good point. And he got you there.

He didn't check in on me, so you didn't care that much. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of where you are in life. You're the happiest I've ever seen you. Yeah, I'm glad you're getting help, Ken. Is it working? We'll see. I'm proud of you for working out though Ken

Thanks You've been working out more than any of us Circles around us How many lifts you think you got in Ken Or Micah Realistically like six I mean I mowed the last three days It's got to count for something

But like before that I didn't do anything for a month Gosh it's just tough dude like I don't love the gym I didn't either But you're starting to love it Yeah I can see that Because you're actually, like, spending the amount of time in there. Ken doesn't miss a day.

He could go out, be blackout drunk until 2 in the morning, and he'd get up at 7. Not quite that bad. He'd get up at 8. And he'd be there. No, I'm dead serious. He does get up and go, because, I mean, lives with me. I see him. I hear him get up and go out.

All you'd have to do, Mike, is just wake up even 45 minutes earlier and just hit it on the way to the shop. Yeah. And then just shower at the gym. and it's just a part of your routine. But you can also do whatever you want. I find it hard to go to the gym in the summer. In the winter, no problem. I'll run it every day.

But in the summer, I'm like, I feel like I use so much energy doing other stuff. That is a good point. Because, like, after moving this week, the past time? Oh, yeah, moving like. I've made a gym. Oh, yeah, Ryan's moving to California. Congrats, Ryan.

Happy for you. California. Sorry. As a joke. You'll fit right in. I knew it was coming. I was like, God damn it. Anywhere but fucking California.

Oh, yep, Ryan. You just want to pay all those taxes. I just pulled that straight out of my ass. I know you did. I know you did. Ryan's moving to Portland. What was that? It's number two?

Seattle would have been number two. It's like fucking California, but shittier. Yeah. Shittier weather. Well, you guys are going to Vegas this weekend. Who did we got going? We got Dalton, Spenny, Micas, and our homie Jif. Really?

Yeah. I fired it out. I've got some things to say about this. I want to go. Look at him in the back. I want to go, but also it's just like too nice, and I just know that we're going to be traveling soon all the time, and I just can't justify it.

I just want to enjoy a weekend at home. And if it was freezing cold, I'd probably be there with you. But maybe if Alex wanted to go, then it'd be easier. But you guys got a little time. It's kind of a boys trip. I originally invited Sydney, and then she had some. prior stuff that she's doing so i was like it's pretty rare that we like kind of take uh you know our own trips i guess yeah obviously for no no filming or anything but yeah you guys are going to

super cross super cross and we're gonna visit our phone is gab that's a championship no and then we're visiting our friends uh at omnia the nightclub twin six playing from one a m to three a m oh that's that's that's their that's their slot that is like prime time yeah prime time slot it just is late That's the biggest show right That is the head of mine That's the main event Yeah Yeah

Oh fuck it's gonna be so fun Why aren't you going right Honestly still Just have a little bit of moving to do Kind of want to help Alander get settled I honestly you know what I don't have a good excuse Well I'm not

I'm just being a bitch What about you Missing out I got a wedding You got a wedding What are you Evan You love Vegas Just got shit to do it around the house

Before winter comes up What about you can I got a personal trip in a couple weeks I'm, uh, we don't want to do two. There's a little trip. To Vegas? No, no, no, no. London.

He's got some business to tend to. Why does it sound so official? I've got a personal trip. Personal trip coming up. Yeah, we'll probably do some gambling too. I'd rather go to Vegas when it's freezing cold here and then you can kind of escape to the desert rather than go there when it's hot here and then it's going to be 50. It's going to be 57 degrees and raining.

Yeah. The only thing is that this weekend is going to be shite here. Yeah. I mean, like, it's, you know, what you do? Mike, do you know how to travel without Ken? Mike's actually planning it. Barely, I know. Mike got all of our flights.

That's what. Supercross's, Mike was the weekend. Dolz was telling me that. I was like, where are you staying? And he goes, I don't know. Mike's book in our hotel. And I was like, I've been, I've been meaning to talk. That's the one thing we don't have a book.

Wait. You told us to be in a hotel. No. But here's the thing. We were dialed. You fly out like in 36 hours. Okay. So. One, hotels are different than flights.

Not really. There's no way. He knows that. He knows that. You guys are fine. When you're flying, you're on a plane and it's only for a little while. So you're telling me, there's no way we get to Vegas and there's just like, you know how you might, you could go to the airport and then be like, hey, I need a flight.

And they'd be like, well, sorry, we don't have any for today. But you're telling me I can't get to vague. Not that this is a plan. Why don't you just book a hotel, Mike? Because I want Ken to help you with it. I've got certain hotels in Vegas. I like to stay at. And normally, if you don't book, like, a month in advance or get comps,

they're just atrociously expensive or they're sold out. Well, I just figure it's like there's no way that we're just like... Yeah, you're going to end up staying at the Luxor or something. That's fine with me. I don't even know what that is. Is the Luxor the one with the big beam light coming out the top? Yeah. That sounds awesome.

Is that place not good? No. I don't know what the bad and the good, like, hotels in Vegas are. Good news is we got me and Spenny and me and Spenny travel really well together, so That's not going to, like, you guys traveling well together is not going to like get us a hotel, though. You actually, the hotels are cheap, bro. They're like $100 a night. They're not worried about making money on the room.

Oh, really? Okay, I was under the impression that Vegas hotels were relatively cheap for what you get. Sometimes cheap, sometimes atrociously expensive. Oh, good news. The Circus Circus has openings. 44 bucks in night. So, yes, I don't have, I don't have any rooms booked. That's okay.

Dude, it took everything out of me, just hit the flights booked. We're flying a legate, so it's direct. That's nice. Not Delta. Bro, we don't have the money for that. I was honestly looking up for you two. You paid for their stuff or no? Currently, yeah, but I mean, we'll talk about it.

It's just easier if we pay them back after. Yeah, we could do the non-monetary favors, whatever. I believe he called them A Backdoor Well, you guys might be sharing a room So it'll be perfect Well, I don't know Spenny said we're possibly getting a box

I have my buddy Corey He's a Red Bull KTM semi-driver He hooked us up with some Trackwalk passes It's like VIP So before the main event They have like they do the practice And qualifying and everything in the day

They said you can get Thursday, Friday, Saturday Yeah And then you, they bring out like a crowd of like a hundred people that wins you can buy the ticket or whatever or you can win it and you can go on the track and walk the whole track and it's actually pretty sick. It's sick because it really

puts it into perspective because you see the jumps on TV and obviously those they're professionals, they jump everything first try it makes it look easy on TV. When you get there and like you're on all fours to climb up the finish line jump and it's insane. It just puts it in a perspective. Even just sitting in the

stands it makes it look so easy but it's going to be doing it. It's going to be fun. So there's already a clean four of you going? Yeah, there's four, and then I think the two TikTokers, Bryce Hall and Taylor Holder are going to come with us. God, if I see a single renegade, Dalton hit a single fucking renegade on my

for you page. You already know he's planning on hitting some TikToks. Have you been working on your moves? Have you been practicing your dances? I have not. But I will say, I think I'll be the last one of the group to embarrass myself around those guys. I will not be hitting a single TikTok dance and making a single TikTok.

So, I'd go to Vegas and make that bet. So what's your rage bait post going to be then? Whoa, Ken. You really flip that on you. Oh, man. I don't think either of those guys make TikToks anymore. Bryce Hall's like a bare-knuckle fighter. Yeah.

And Taylor Holder is a country music star. Turns out they love dirt bikes, too. Really good. It'll be pretty fun. They're both crushing it. But it'll be. That'll be fun. Honestly, the fact that you're hanging out with those guys makes me want to go.

But other than that, I just... This guy's a little cloud chaser. Oh, ho. I'm kidding. No, I just think it'd be fun to hang with that, but... CJ hit the redigatee? Yeah, I'm the cloud chaser. If I go on my for you page and CJ is hitting a renegade, I will blackout.

Yeah, the last nine years, I've always just clung to whoever's the most famous person around us. That's why he lives with Ken, dude. Yeah. That's true. I fucking really took it. personal. Yeah, should be pretty sweet.

We're pretty fired up. Probably stay sober. Really? Yeah, if you're doing it. You're staying sober too, Mike? I suppose you gotta. Personally, I will be, but I mean, I would not expect anyone else to be. You've had some legendary Vegas experiences, Mike.

I don't know if we can bring him up on the podcast. I already have. I don't have. I've made the clip of him sleeping in the hallway when I found him. I haven't seen that video. What video? Mike's sleeping in the hallway? Oh.

I got that. No more talking about the peanut. We really don't have to talk about it. What happened then? This was prior to that. When you guys clog the toilet? Actually, that was the next. You clogged the toilet.

That was the next one stacked on top. That's when you know you're sick. You're fucking sick. There's a toilet clog and you go, I'm just so lazy. I don't want to find another bathroom. And you just shit on top of it. And then get this.

What the fuck? And then get this. Either. Lazy head. Nothing to do with it, CJ. Lazy had nothing to do with me doing that. Anceladas did. Taco Night did.

We're on like third day of a Vegas bender. I'm lucky I didn't do it right in the bed. By the time I made it to the bathroom and looked at the mess. It was all I could do to spin around and sit down in time before it was everywhere. And then it happened for a third time. To do it three times, stack it three times. Imagine that poor cleaning lady. Think about how nasty that splashback would be.

just the smell. Bro! What did you guys do? How did you fix that problem? It was on the way out of the hotel room, so we didn't. That's a hit and run. That's a triple hit and run. That poor cleaning lady.

That poor little cleaning lady. We should have left a $100 bill or something. More than that. Yeah. More than that. That is just being rude. That's just being disrespectful right there, Evan. That is insane.

She probably quit her job. That's literally being disrespectful. Bro, I literally am walking down the hallway and I go, look, there's some drunk guys sleeping in the hallway. The worst part it was, it wasn't even on the right floor. No, you were. Oh, okay. You were just on the completely other wing. Oh, okay.

He was just laying down, giving his legs rest. Mike, you were so lucky that Ev found you. Didn't find you. Mike, this isn't okay. Come on now. Mike, you can hear the concern in Evan's voice. We were going. To the fucking room, bro.

You're, like, passing in the hall 20 rooms away. It was buffering. Either way, I'm glad we got you out of there before law enforcement became involved. I think... I think Dalton should do that this time around. Oh, do that one of CJ eating the banana.

I love this picture. He's got a tall can of twisted tea, a cigar, and a nanner. I think it was right after I got done editing. in a video. Just vibing. I was just happy, man. He is actually living good. That guy's living good back then, huh?

I was. So I got one quick topic. Anybody paying attention to skateboarding lately? The tray flip? That Jocelyn finally did it. And the internet is broken. No, the clip's not out yet, but they leave the thrasher cover. No, the shrimp daddy has like a, no

the clip's not out yet. Oh, okay. And who is shrimp daddy? I see it. I've seen him do it. He did it and stepped off the board like five years ago. No, no, like I saw the clip. I don't think that's real. What happened? What are you guys talking about?

Just a legendary skateboard trick, a 360 flip, down El Toro. No one's ever done it. He like did it like five years ago. But when he was landing so hard, his trucks were bending. So he literally rides away, rides like five feet or something, and kind of steps off. And it's like a whole thing of like he didn't do it because he didn't just just cleanly right away but he literally did it but it's like just the gnarliest stairs and he redid it again or somebody else yeah no he did it but they interviewed him after the old he's like

ah i just don't see myself ever doing it again it's such a battle he went so many times he's like injuring himself yeah how do you not break your ankles doing that is that is that is that the spot at that school that there's like all the legendary how many stairs is it i don't even know since it's like something like 25 or something or 20 like but like niger houston went there tried to get couldn't like he's pretty much like dude it's just like not worth it it's so that's crazy how many steps is it 26 or 27 and then so like what what's the height difference on that probably almost a little maybe a little over a story like someone did ride one story the length that it's 20 stairs but it's the length that's the hardest part yeah because 20 stairs

I mean just jump that like basically sprint and then jump that yeah would you do that no one would you know that'd be insane but then to do it on a skateboard crazy and half the runs they do like they're not landing on the board they're taking that to their feet and they're rolling out and then rolling out that's the thing though is like skaters are so good at falling and uh have to be like learning how

to tumble like Gavin is how you avoid getting hurt like Evan's good at tumbling Spenny's really good at tumbling Spenny never tumbles he just fucking greases everything yeah but no I do I know I know I know he can get out of a really sticky situation like something will happen where he gets jammed up in the bike

and like it would be catastrophic for one but then he just like cat likes down and it's just so graceful kind of like run out of it yeah he can run out or he'll tum or he'll roll or i do get lucky on crashing this is the real one so it's just a sequence not the footage yet i don't know i just thought it's pretty cool especially because there's like a whole freaking 20 minute youtube video about like a documentary thing about him like basically doing it but not doing it and i think that was like quite a handful years ago and he's literally like yeah i just don't see myself trying it again yeah the It's kind of like, in my heart, I know I got it.

Like, I understand, like, I wouldn't claim it because I didn't roll away and, you know, how skaters are. You can't drag your hand. You got it to ride away. It's really claim it. But he's just like, ah, I know I got it. It's just whatever. Dude, I wonder if skateboarding is as relevant now as it was in, like, the 2000s to 2010s.

Obviously, not in mainstream media, it's just not. Because it seemed like back then you had so many TV shows where it was like a skater and It didn't necessarily revolve around skateboarding, but, like, it just made it popular. It made it people, like, kids want to try skate, you know? Whereas now, obviously, there's probably, I mean, there's tons of it. You see it online, but there's not, like, any mainstream. There's also a lot of all those skaters. Or even really popular people that are not from that era.

But the core skate community was never that stoked. I don't think on any of those skates. Yeah, no, they don't like that shit. But now there's, like, a lot of, like, mid-grade. People ripping Instagram clips, like, just sneaky. Yeah, but they're not famous. There's no super famous skaters other than the ones from that time and probably Nijia. Nijia, yeah.

Which, I mean, Nizja was famous back then too. That's true. He's like a little kid ripping. Well, CJ, we wanted to bring somebody in that we thought would be good for you to sit face to face with. So we hit him up and if you want to come on in here and let's just say he was happy to sit down and have a debate with you. Oh, my gosh. It's Jake Colter running for Mayor of Fargo. Yo.

Welcome, Jake. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Holy shit, dude. What's up? Yo. Thank you for coming. Appreciate it.

I'm not going to be debating him. I'm on his side. Well, I don't know. I heard some jokes. I heard some laughs on the last podcast. I mean, I can't. I just laugh at everything.

no what a treat i think it's awesome i think it's i think it's i think it's awesome and if i was a north dakota resident i would have one hundred and fifty percent vote for you and i think that anyone out here is it just north dakota or is it fargo it's just fargo north to go fargo i think anyone fargo needs to vote for jake colder he brought his boys for back up here look at look at this to roll you up in the parking lot c j if this goes south bro i'm out here rooting for them yeah no thanks for hey thanks for coming out bro yeah thank you thank you for having so you saw the podcast clips yes and then uh hit you up on no you made a tic talk i did yep and said anytime anywhere cj lotser really yeah check in with me before you come to fargo north

kota bro people got to send me this shit i'm so on not tuned in did you actually no oh okay it was more just you know let me out on the podcast i'd love to i love to talk with you guys yeah yeah so explain how this all came to be. We'll start here. My friend Ken, I may have nominated him. Wait. Where he left? He's fucking pissed. Anyways, he's still a sore subject. But I may have nominated him without telling him. Oh. And then the newspaper released. And they're like, you know, there's all these dogs running for mayor because I don't know how familiar are with Cormorant, Minnesota. But there was a dog as a mayor. And it was like a big deal back in the day.

Yeah. So long story short, two guys were running for mayor. small town not everyone really liked them no really no one liked them and they're like why don't we just elect this dog and the dog got more votes than the two guys ends up being this thing in kormor we got a dog mayor passes away in like 2016 and and we were mayorless for a while two summers ago they decided we need to get a new mayor in town and obviously a lot of a dogs were uh you know up for election yep and my boy ken he's a dog in a different way and i was like we need to get him up on there so we put him in the newspaper he took it seriously and we we ran them and honestly i think there was a corruption a lot of a lot of fraud behind the scenes they didn't want

a human pretty discriminatory but anyways he lost and uh then i saw you were running for mayor how's that come to be so you did this yourself all myself everything to this point has been by myself i've had help uh with you know some campaigning with you know representative tj brown he's a representative in the horace fargo area he's helped me out a lot with you know figuring on my platform but you know most of it's been my making um and i realized i can make a change in the city and also i realize that most politicians and a lot of people complain that most politicians are older guys like elderly people and there's nothing wrong with that but i want to you know fresh start someone young so i was like i'm going to put my hat in the race i actually think that's a

great idea because honestly young people are the future so and i said it on that podcast i said no one's going to care more about the future than someone who's going to have more time in it exactly So that's cool, though. And obviously there's no age cutoff minimum. No. Oh, 18 years old. 18, of course. But yeah.

I think that was the biggest surprise to me because I was like, I didn't know this was even possible. Yeah. I didn't know it was possible. And you were just like, yeah, no one else had the, had the nuts to do it. Exactly. Ever since I was 16, I actually thought about running. Okay. And I just had to wait a little bit.

It's not a whim. It's not a whim. Yeah. Think about it for a while. How old are you? 20. 20? 20 years old.

You in college? I'm not college. I'm not college. I'm not college. Dude, you could be the youngest, I mean, what's the youngest mayor to ever be the city, or the mayor of a city in, like, let's just say the United States. Ken, what do you got? Ken's still pissed about this.

He thinks he should be the mayor still. Dude, Ken just got up. I would assume, you know, since there's so many cities in our great nation, probably 18. Probably. Probably. Probably somebody. But for a city, the size of Fargo, like 100,000? That would be a better.

You're looking it up, Ryan? I got, I got here. So what has it been like? Like, when did you start running? and I guess when did your campaign start and what's it end when do you when do you find out June 14th next year next year yep oh so you got a year you got a year he's got a year I started I started quick is that pretty normal like to put a year of campaigning oh usually it's like six months okay but I was like you know no one's in it so I'm going to throw my hat in there

first and you know I'm the only name out there you're the only one running right now officially oh I know who's going to run yeah I'm not going to say their names because they haven't announced but what what do you think of the current mayor uh how good of a job or bad of a job are they doing and what would you do differently against what they are doing you know i think he doesn't do the worst job you know the city runs in the end um but i just think too much money is being spent in in areas we don't need to spend what i would do is you know we're having that property tax issue where property tax just keep going up like some guy knows paying $5,000 in property tax with the specials as well um and my goal is not to raise property tax anymore like

be completely done with that and instead take the budget in certain areas of budget and decrease the funding towards it in areas that we don't really need to put the money. Yeah. And what you're running on is this like a different stance that you feel like other opponents are going to run on or like how do you set yourself apart? I put myself apart because I feel like most of the, most people won't think about decreasing the budget, but honestly I want to add to the reserves. So we're going to decrease that budget, put money into the reserves.

and then when we have a big project like this convention center that we're building, you know, that's a hot topic. We'll have money just in case we go over budget. Because I guarantee we'll go over budget on it. We always go over budget on every project we do. I wish I lived in Fargo. Honestly, you guys have way better taxes. Yeah.

And typically way better, I'd say way better representatives and stuff like that, government. But were you born in Fargo? Yep. You have like a family history in politics? No. Not really. So you're just, yeah, your first one. stepping into it.

Yep. Dude, holy shit. That's so cool. Yeah. So did we ever figure out who, like the youngest mayor? Ken goes again.

You left again. This is crazy. There's been two mayors that were 18 years old in the U.S. And then there's 119 and then the next one after that was 22. So you're top five. I'm top five. But it's got to be. I've never heard of it before.

I've never heard of it before. Yeah, in a major city, I'm sure. And you know, the way to win it. And this is one thing I want to say that, so elections are usually won by older voters. I'll say because older voters, they vote more. They go out and vote.

But 38% of eligible voters, which is about 40,000 people in Fargo, are around my age. So if I got even a quarter of those people to vote for me, I would beat the last election by landslide. Because he won by 9,000 votes and there's enough young people to, I don't know, make a difference, really. Absolutely. Hoping on here is definitely, I mean, I think that's good for you to do. And, man, I wonder, like, how we could help. I mean, this is a lot right here. We have a lot of listeners in North Dakota.

Or is it, they have to be in Fargo. They have to be Fargo. Do you ever have anyone, like, giving you a little backlash? Like, they don't agree with maybe because you're younger and they say it to your face? Yeah. What do they say? It's just, you know, a lot of people are like, they believe in what I say. It's just I'm too young.

Yeah. They like what I'm saying. It's just my age. They're worried you don't have the experience possibly. Yeah. Do you have the experience? Are you, like, nervous for it? No, I'm not nervous.

I think you're that dialed. You're just going to get in. I'm dialed. I eat, sleep, and breathe this run, right? This is, this all I do. What time you're waking up at? I'm going to bed. You go to bed, like 11, wake up at 7.

Damn, so you're running pretty good numbers then. You run great numbers. It's a solid program. It's getting plenty of sleep. And still not sleeping in. Yeah, he's not sleeping in. Just checking. When's your birthday?

August 19th. Okay. So a month after the election, I'll be 21. Yep. That'd be really cool. I mean, you got my vote. I live in Fargo. How do you feel?

about um like getting into politics and then dealing with the hatred that comes with politics because people hate politicians they do they really hate politicians and when i originally was thinking doing it you know politics wasn't really at this high point but now that i'm running because i mean four years ago that's when i was thinking politics were a little bit of high point but it wasn't like where it's at now where it's like i'll post a video and there's just be constant hate comments yeah really yeah i didn't see any on the facebook post there most of them are actually censored like Facebook will censor them. Oh, really?

But if I post something, I can see the censored ones. So, you know, I read them. And they're just talking shit. Oh, yeah. What are they saying? It's like, oh, you're too young. You're inexperienced. You're stupid.

That type of thing. Either side of the aisle, you're going to have that, though. Oh, yeah. Exactly. I feel like right now you have to have incredibly thick skin. Oh, yeah. To just be able to brush that off. Yep.

Yeah. Because no matter what you do, you're pissing off 50% of the people. Yeah. What else is included in being? like the mayor of Fargo, like, what do you have to do? I guess I'm almost unfamiliar with, like, what that role looks like. What the roles of being the Fargo mayor are? Yeah, it's pretty much managing a bunch of departments, like your police department,

you'll have your fire department. Sometimes, it depends. The city of commissioners and deputy mayor, they'll take over certain different departments. So that gets a little separated out. But basically just the overall running of the city, make sure everything's flowing constantly. And, you know, I brought the snowplow. Yeah. And, you know, that was pretty fun.

I like your jokes about that. But, yeah. Yeah, I mean Would you, would you run a snowplow? I would run a snowplow. That's what it takes. I would. I feel like you should get a snowplow

or your campaign vehicle. You need some kind of campaign vehicle. I do need a campaign. You do. Dude, if that's your thing, though, of saying, like, I'll run a snowplow. If that's what I got to do, you should get a snowplow.

What would your ideal campaign vehicle be? Honestly, I don't even know. Well, we have some ideas. I rocked a PT Cruiser. I did you guys. Yeah, I don't think we can do the PT Cruiser. Have you heard of a Chevrolet SSR? Yes.

I think that's going to hit a lot harder with the older crowd, too. They see you in that. They're going to be like, fuck, maybe we do like this guy. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Or what's the other one that has the wheels? Plymouth Prowler? Yeah.

Have you heard of that? I have, yeah. Which one would you rather be rolling in? Honestly, I think the prowler's way cooler. I think prowler's way cooler. For sure. I mean, those are way more expensive, though. It was out of the budget for Ken.

Yeah. I mean, I was looking, it was pretty. expensive oh yeah both ssr and the prowler but both of those are in similar price ranges snowplow i see you're googling that it's a lot cheaper dude if you win mayor can you give us the key to the city for a day um it's like a theoretical key theoretical theoretical you know key to the city dude what do you think about hell breaks loose what do you think about uh kind of all the talks about downtown fargo right now it seems like the narrative is that it's it's really dangerous yeah and uh there's a lot of bad shit going

on like what do you think about that you have any plans on like how do you clean that up that's uh that's one issue i've been running into because i actually went downtown after after i read a bunch about it i went downtown it really just kind of saw how many people were on the streets you know just sleeping or and there's a lot there's a ton of people you know we were talking about on the podcast before this my parents have a chiropractic office not far from downtown fargo and Some random dude was just walking by, and he just decided to just beat the shit out of my dad's car. No way. Yeah, just beat the shit out of it.

And he's probably on drugs or something. Definitely, yeah. And then luckily the cops caught him like 20 minutes later. Oh, okay. So, I mean, they're definitely doing their job, but it's a little late in terms of saving the car. Yeah, definitely, yeah. But, yeah, dude, it is crazy down there. It is.

And the problem is, like, people who are addicted and people who are homeless. And I want to help those people. But I worked at a federal halfway house. I don't know if I can say the name of the place, but in reality, a lot of people don't want to get better. And that's the problem. You can only help people who really want to get helped. I'd agree. So we can keep trying and pushing, but there's a point in which these people don't want help anymore.

Yeah. Not much we could do. Yeah, as far as funding goes, it's like you don't want to, things you do, you don't want to enable them. Yeah. It really is a tough, tough issue. It is a tough issue. What about, I mean, it's not all homeless, though. It's also just like, it seems like there's, like, gang bangers, I would call them.

Like, there's actual, like, thugs now that aren't homeless. Like, maybe they're doing, they're selling drugs, I don't know what they're doing. I used to go downtown Fargo all the time back when I was, when I was younger, close to your age. And it was super fun. I mean, you'd maybe see a fight once a year. Like, there really wasn't ever any issues, and I felt pretty safe down there. And now it's like, I mean, I haven't been there any years. I mean, I'm a little old to be cruising around downtown Fargo on the weekends, but I hear about it.

It's just like shootings. There's some murders, yeah. Yeah. I mean, just the idea of being out there trying to have a good time and then getting hit with a straight bullet. Exactly. It's not good. It's supposed to be safe in Fargo.

It's supposed to be, but that downtown's really what brings us down. And I went downtown and I actually counted how many cops. There were seven cop cars just around that one block. It's like we could have police presence out there, but it's really hard to stop. I mean, gang violence is extremely hard to stop. We'd have to find the source of it, the issue is, I mean, funding in our police force. It's large, but there's a lot of issues in our.

our police force. I don't know if you guys know about many of those issues, but I don't. I guess I'm not familiar. We've had like 50 resignations since our police chief signed in. Really? And it's just a toxic work environment. Really? So honestly, possibly changing leadership could benefit this. Well, yeah, I mean, that is a, that is an interesting trend. I mean, there's no doubt being a police officer is a hard job. Yeah, for sure. Like, it's very easy to mess up. And it's also, it's kind of thankless even when you're doing it really well and yeah i don't know it's just a dangerous job so you think there needs to be more presence downtown i don't think there needs to be more presence there's a lot of presence but maybe i mean we just need to build our police force in general for other areas as well

because there are areas that there is gang violence and there's not that many cops yeah because downtown's bound to have a lot of cops right and i think you're going to have that really in any growing big city and Fargo is now kind of getting to that spot but it's like why is it it's it's like you don't want to create like this safe haven for that environment exactly like bad people follow bad people it seems like yeah and so if you kind of just get rid of that and then they don't have that environment maybe yeah the goal is not I don't know how you guys feel about Minneapolis the goal is not to become like Minneapolis is downtown yeah I don't think anyone yeah nobody could even argue that I've said it on this podcast I mean we go all over and I truly think downtown

Minneapolis is one of the more dangerous places we go. And we go, like, Vegas, Chicago, Miami, all these places. And I honestly feel the most... We even went to the city with no loss. Slab City. It's a military base in the desert where, like, just a bunch of just nomads, like squatters all huddle and there's no cops or anything there. I felt safer there than downtown Minneapolis.

But... Like, once you're in mayor, just send your boys out on the street and just make sure that they're just... Yeah, clean it up. But it is. It's just like a fine line between wanting Fargo to grow and keeping that small town. Like when I, thinking back when I would go downtown, I would feel like I would like I could go anywhere and it was like I was just hanging out. Yeah. Like you go from one bar to another. It's like going from a friend's house sort of thing. Not like, all right, we're going on the sidewalk here.

Don't want to be scared. Yep. Obviously you want that for any city, but. So what's three things like that you are hoping to change if you, get elected as mayor? I have three on my platform, and it's taxes halting a property tax and possible decrease, and then public safety with the police, and then overspending, which comes with the convention center.

So stopping it? Stop the overspendant. We're, all of our budgets, like we budget 40 to 45 million for this convention center, I almost can guarantee it's going to hit 50 million. Yeah, it always seems to go up. Where is this convention center? There's three proposed areas, but I'm not sure which one they're choosing.

Hasn't locked in yet. Yeah. And do you feel so if you want to win the young voters over what motivates one young voters to get out and vote for the mayor right like how much would you being the mayor affect their lives and what do you think is the biggest effect on their lives like what do young people care about right now i think what young people what i personally care about too is you know being seen you know young people it's like you're, you're always in the shadows of your parents and other generations, but it's now time for like our generation to become doctors, lawyers, politicians, you know, start integrating into society and make society what we want it to be. And I think what can motivate people to go is

I'm your voice for any young voter out there. I'll speak. I always do great things for my generation and other generations. I'm not only saying I'll do great things for young people. But I just think I'm your first voice and it starts in the city. Being, I guess, younger and, and, um, obviously wanting to do things like when we started our YouTube channel everyone thought that we were idiots and uh you're always going against public opinion and that isn't easy to do no and so you running this campaign and wanting to be the mayor and everybody looking at you um that you're too young for it like you're going to face criticism and you got to have thick skin and you got to be okay with people laughing at you calling you crazy right so i i personally think it's awesome that you're

doing it i hope that you know there's people listening that can rally behind what's your uh what your campaign is running on and you can be the voice for them yep but just keep at it because you're you got to you're gonna have to face the criticism oh yeah even starting this soon i mean starting this young and whether you win or not like pro you're gonna have such a leg up oh yeah if you stay at this exactly and uh yeah i mean so if you were to win is there a certain period of like you you can only be kind of like the present and like you can only be oh yeah uh two four year terms that's uh so i mean you got plenty of time move to congress at that point though 25 for congress that's what i'm saying like you can then you you keep going up exactly

and even if i don't win it's like i'm putting everything on the table you know i'm meeting with you guys i've been on tv i'm campaigning i'm doing everything i can you know like i said i eat, sleep, and breathe this campaign. So if I lose, I know I put everything out there. And I did everything I could to do it. The age is what's really getting me. But I tried my hardest. I did my best.

And I know great things will come whether I win or lose. Would you want to go on to like the house or Congress? Yeah, definitely. You don't really meet that many politicians, I feel like, especially around us. Like young politicians. But really? Yeah, but I've never met like a senator or a house representative. Well, they keep you away from them.

No, anything like, I don't know, though. I mean. Yeah, I guess I've just never met one. Yeah. My dad ran for state rep against Paul Mark Whart from Minnesota. Yeah, it was interesting. It was a fun time of campaigning, a lot of parades. And he just was like, wanted a change in his life. But it is interesting if he would have kept at it.

So again, it's like if you were to lose the leg up that you have on the next time around, it's like incredible. Even for a state representative, you know. But yeah, people, they can't say a lot of things, but they can't say you're not serious about it. do mayors have like the conservative party you uh it's non-partisan but you can side got it okay and and what's the current mayor uh he's a democrat got it yep so how many democrats can run and how many conservatives can run like is it an unlimited amount or is it going to just be two and you're either picking one democrat or one republican uh for the mayor it's an unlimited amount and you you can't technically side and

say you're a republican i can i mean i can say i'm a republican but like when we're voting it doesn't like Jake Coulter, Republican Party, got it. Okay. Well, the people might be ready for a change then. Exactly. If they don't want to vote Democrat, they're looking to vote Republican. And if you're running at the front of the Republican Party or I guess they're not doing it by party, but they like your views then.

There you go. There we go. Yeah, man. We're rooting for you. Thank you. Where can they find you? Oh, on TikTok, Coulter for Mayor. And then Instagram, Jake Coulter.

Those are two places that I post constantly on Twitter too, I guess Coulter for Mayor. and then also my website, www.culted for mayor.com. Awesome. Anything culture for mayor. I do want to say, I guess, just to clarify, and I think I clarified on that podcast, the reason I initially thought it was funny is because I had nominated one of my young friends as mayor, and everyone thought it was ridiculous, but for me, it was just a joke. So then I was like, just, I've never heard of someone young running for mayor, and I thought,

is he pulling a prank on people? And then I realized the more I looked into it, that you're very serious about it. And that's when I was like, dude, I'm back in this guy. Like, I like him. And I do have one thing. Could I, could I hand out? Yeah. Bring it in, bring it in.

Dude, it's nice. Like, I got surprised. Like, I genuinely, it was a, bro. I thought you were bringing someone else. That was awesome. I thought you were bringing somebody funny. I thought you were bringing in the Vikings cheerleader. Yeah.

We got some campaign shirts. Yes. Oh, dude. I'm wearing this shit. Yes. I'm wearing this for sure. Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, let's go. Thank you. Jake. We got to get a picture after this. Oh, yeah. God, can you imagine, though, if I did bring them in? I don't know. I wouldn't have been that surprised with you.

All right, bro. Well, hey, thank you for coming in. Appreciate you. Good luck, man. Yeah, good luck. We'll be rooting for you. Yes, we will. If you made it to this point in the podcast, subscribe.
