Gambling is probably the quickest way to lose any kind of wealth you have. Like straight up. Some kids just making TikTok saying I fell off. You were kind of the whole line of defense between everybody else and that pair. Yeah. I only gambled for 24 hours. Straight? Uh, no.

I lost all 7,000. Yes! Yes! Do you feel like the Cheeto Army is switching up on you? Well, what's up, boys? Welcome back. I'm going to be back. I missed you kind of.

I missed you too. A little bit. Did you guys run a pod when I was gone? We did. We did. It wasn't the same without you. What did I miss? Give me like a, just a spark notes.

Ken's running an uncrustable's ad. Is he? Yep. For the Super Bowl. We're paying good money for it. If the brand manager can line it up, yeah. We're hungry. We're paying for him to basically have a Super Bowl ad.

We did a full deep dive on Evans' gambling losses. I thought he was up. that's how fast things change around here no i don't think i was down that bad i just said i honed it into like if i'm down it's not that much okay okay i wouldn't say too much of a deep guy but we honed her in there it's crazy how much can change in a week yeah tell us about your trip now yeah dude it was awesome so what two podcasts ago i had uh mentioned that i was going on an elk hunt didn't really know what to expect never gone on an elk hunt before it was way different than any kind of hunting i've ever done like white tail deer hunting not so much more extensive oh yeah so like you're sitting in a

stand for white tail right you're just waiting for them to come driving on the road you go home for lunch yeah or ryan or ryan driving home yes exactly but uh yeah elk hunting was such a different experience it's hard to explain to you guys how much work it actually is where were you at colorado like outside of grand junction colorado where gavin's grandpa lives it looked like you were in the middle of nowhere so we're like staying in this canyon like in this law lodge in this canyon right and we are hunting on top of the canyon so you would do this gnarly switchback up the side of the mountain like i have experienced gnarly terrain with everything that we do right snowmobiling dirt biking like in the mountains right this switchback which they do every

single day to get up to the hunting spot was so insane i couldn't believe that normal people do it Like worse than pack saddle? No, no. Like you have to walk it or what? No, you're in a side-by-side going up. I actually took a video the first morning. But, but. Humble.

No case. What you got to keep in mind, though, is like, usually when we're going into gnarly situations, I'm aware, like, this is just what you got to do when you're doing this kind of shit, right? Yeah. Well, going hunting, I didn't expect it to be quite like that. And very quickly realized, so this is like the side-by-side. You're doing the dark? Going up in the dark, yep.

It's like slightly snowing, so it's pretty slippery. And you're going up a straight up wall that is pretty much all shale rock with a cliff on each, on the left side. Who's driving? My guide. The guide is, okay. So they aren't throwing someone. Yeah. No, so they do it every day, right?

So I guess just like to preface. How many people go out? There was like seven, six hunters. Okay. So there's six guides driving? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

So like each hunter has a guide. So like on this hunt. my fiance's family has like been doing it every single year like my uh soon to be father-in-law is like a huge hunter huge hunter he's he's been on all these different types of hunts bear sheep elk and uh this is like a hunt that like he started bringing like the family along with so greta's done it for the last like five years so she's always explained it to me like yeah it's it's pretty gnarly but when i thought about it i was like well it's how gnarly could it be like yeah she hasn't experienced what you have in terrain that's what i thought yeah yeah and then we we get into it i'm

oh shit this is like ass puckering like i'm like on edge right so we finally get to the top of the ridge and then we hopped in like these these uh toyota trucks that are like a lot quieter than a side by side obviously so you could like sneak around and uh they should have our little mini golf carts up there yeah i told them that you guys need to go electric what you do basically though is you get on top of the ridge and there's basically just like a spine that goes down and then there's like smaller ridges off each spine so like the elk will hang out at the bottom of these spines a lot of times and there's brush and trees that is like 10 feet tall so your vantage point at the top of the ridge is looking down the valley and then hopefully you can see them on the other side right so

if you're on the left side you're looking across the valley to the right side to try and have like a better vantage point. But a lot of times they move like to the bottom of it. So the whole time you basically get out to this ridge and then you just walk down this ridge and you're constantly like glassing with binoculars across the valley looking for these elk. Are they hard to spot? They're so hard to spot because the you got to keep in mind like the brush is like 10 feet tall. Oh.

A lot of times. So like color as it. Yeah. Yeah. So like we get out there and like the first morning we're basically just like glass. passing around. So, like, here's an example video of, like, looking around. You can see all the elk on the side of the hill here. Oh. But that's how far out you are. Oh, shit. Okay? Super zoomed in, but when you're out like this, you don't see any. Are you rocking the new iPhone? No. Yeah, it's really good zoom,

though. So, like, all these elk are at, you know, they might be like 2,000 yards away. Bro, I'd be so bad at that. I can't see the freaking ketchup in the fridge. I'd be so bad. So it's really difficult to, like, train your eyes. to start looking for it. It makes sense, actually. Because they blend into the hill and then a lot of times you just can't see them because the brush is so thick. And so you're glassing around at like the top of the ridge looking at like 2,000 yards

away. And then if you don't see anything, you move to another spot or you might hike down the hill, glass, because it's like all, there's so many different like valleys and different ridges where it might look like it's like all flat, but then once you get a little bit lower, you realize that it's like all like this so if you're right here looking at it you miss them the guides were so so dialed of being able to spot them so we'd like drive at the top of the ridge and uh one of the guides kramer i was like if there's elk out here this dude's gonna see him with his naked eye like two miles away and sure enough like each time we'd be driving along and he'd be like there's a bull

i'm like where i'm looking through my binoculars and he's like right out there and he's not even looking through his binoculars. I'm like, so guys are just so trained to just spot, like the color is spot a tiny bit of movement and then they dial in from there. So I was with Greta's whole family and like all of her siblings. And I got to be a part of like the stock and kill for all of their elks. Oh, cool. It started with Greta's like little sister. We start stocking it. So we like walk probably a mile down the ridge and then you walk down the actual hill. to try and get within, like, 500 yards. Like, if you're within 500 yards of the elk,

like that's considered, like, a takeable shot. Damn. It's pretty far, right? 500 yards is an insane shot. Okay. Like, you would never shoot a white-tailed deer at 500 yards. But out there, like, you're just shooting, like, heavier guns, and they are bigger 300 wind meg.

They're bigger targets, obviously, an elk's huge, right? And it's really difficult to get closer. Because they're moving valleys. They're moving. If you're upwind from them, they're going to smell you. They have insane ears. They're going to hear you coming. So, like, if you're within 500 yards, they're like, take the shot.

Are you guys talking out there? You're literally just silently moving around just. Yeah, you're talking. Because you got to keep in mind, like, you're a long ways away from them. So you're whispering. But then once you start, like, stalking them, then you're like whispering. You're locked in quieter. You're sneaking, like, getting low.

And so got to be a part of. Sounds fun. Greta's Little Sisters Bull, which was massive. She shoots it, drops it. And then you got to be a part of Greta's bull, which was massive. She drops it. And then Greta's brother's bull was crazy too. So, like, being a part of all these different bulls before, like, it was my time.

So, like, the whole time we're, like, looking for, like, the biggest bull, basically. Yeah. And each time that we found it throughout, like, the five days, Greta's siblings were, like, the people up to get it. Because we were kind of group hunting, like, me, Greta, and her two siblings were all together. and so it was just kind of like one by one like who's up kind of thing and it gets down to the second to last day like everyone had pretty much tagged out except for me not a good look for your first trip no grader shoots a bigger bowl than you you're not did you didn't miss did you or did you not even take a shot didn't have a shot didn't have like the opportunity got it and so we go out at night

and one of the guides is like there's a bear at like 500 yards and I'm like what where I'm looking, I'm looking, can't see it. And he's like, that's a nice bear. I think you should take it. So I had a bear tag. And in case you see a bear, it's pretty, it's a lot cheaper to get a bear tag. It's right. Like, if you're elk hunting, you're probably not going to shoot a bear.

And so we stock this bear down to like 300 yards, 280. And he's like, all right, I get all set up. He's like, all right, you got it. I'm like, dude, I cannot see this bear. And he's like, all right. it's right here you see this this twig that's leaning over to the left i'm like yeah and he's like okay you see the four inch black triangle next to that twig and i'm like no he's like right here he takes a picture of it he circles it i'm like dude no i can't see it crazy what the fuck and he's

like it's right there and if you shoot that four inch uh triangle you'll hit the bear right in the right shoulder i was like all right i trust you like this guy was so dialed i mean what's the Worst, well, worse, it could happen to you miss, but hit the dirt. Yeah, but you don't want to take a shot that you're not going to hit. You're not going to kill it. Yeah, it's like inhumane. You know, you don't want to injure any of them. And so I take the shot and he just goes, I lost him.

I'm like, oh, this isn't good. I was like, I was like, well, that's not good. It's like quiet for like 20 more seconds. And he's like, I got him. I'm like, where is he? He's like, all right, you see that pine tree that's lit up with like the top. half of it and then go up three feet up another and then to the left two feet and he's in the brush i'm like god damn it more brush dude i can't see him and uh i have a i have a scope video

so you did or didn't hit it the first shot we didn't know if i hit it on the first shot because it got up real quick but uh i'll show you the video of it getting up real quick and then describe it to you i can probably show it right up until the point you pull the trigger yeah it's really cool they um they can put their phones on the spot spotting scope and then record through the spotting school that's lit kind of a little cheat code obviously if you're not into hunting it's probably not as interesting but i know a lot of the listeners are it was just a whole new experience that i was excited about so i hope a lot of there's a baron that oh i see him i see him all right so there's a baron here so we're at 300 yards

and yeah you see uh that that twig that's leaning to the right right there well there's a little four inch triangle that he was telling me to aim at right there so I end up taking the shot and the bear you can see hops up looks at his back and he's like what the hell was that that is not what I thought the bear I thought the bear was way further to the left dude that's so hard to see and you got to keep in mind this is a spotting scope so it's got way more magnification than your scope oh okay I'm like yep we lost him and then he goes oh I think I got him again I think I got him again how did he spot he's in there now so you can see his head moving right i'm like dude i don't see him still so he's like all right see that pine tree

which is in the bottom right corner up three feet and to the left two feet and uh you see him moving and i'm like no he's like just stay on him just stay on him he's moving around i think he might be hit and uh i think he's gonna start moving here and so i start watching him i'm like i think i got him i think i got him because i'm like to the left of this pine tree right now and he pops out this is the first time I see him and then I take the shot right as he like pops into scope dropped his ass

look at that and now he's down Greta's behind me and she's just watching through her binoes and she goes his feet his feet are in the air he's rolling down the hill I can see his butt he's not moving he's not moving

and then we're like oh we got him so we're like sitting there and we're celebrating and he was like all right let's go get him you know you give it a little bit of time and my guy goes You got more bullets?

I was like, yeah? He's like, rack one in the chamber. And I was like, okay? And he was like, be ready. I was like, oh, shit, okay? You don't really have to worry about that with white tail or elk or really any other animals for it to charge you. Oh, shit. But yeah, the bear would.

Yeah. Makes sense. Are the guides at least have like a sidearm or something? Usually, yeah. But you weren't bear hunting. So no. Oh, yeah. And I, because I asked him that, I was like,

You got a gun? And he's like, no, we, we weren't on this mission. I was like, oh, fuck, okay. All right. So I'm like finger on the, on the safety ready to, like, I'm coming up hunting for wabbits. Yeah. Just ready.

I was like shitting my, my pants, honestly. I didn't see him go down. I didn't see any. You were kind of the whole line of defense between everybody else and that bear. Yeah. So I was like, man, I really hope that I got him on that second shot. And we end up, like, popping out of the brush. You can't see barely at all in front of you.

And we'd pop out of the brush and then he's laying on the ground. I was like, oh. Holy shit. It was like more of a thrill walking up to it than the actual experience of like pulling the trigger. So what do you do with that bear now? If the bear was like super far out there, you'd probably, you know, you'd quarter it and skin it on the hill because the bear weighed about 300 pounds.

I'll do it if I have to But we We got like the side by side Within probably 300 yards of it Oh okay And we gutted it out on the hill And then tied paracord Around its paws

And then around its teeth And one guy held up the head I was on one of the paws Another guy was on the other paw And we ran down the hill Like as fast as we could Because we're pulling it through like thick brush the whole time right and so we're just like going with momentum of like us falling down

the hill the bear like sliding a little bit and then like the bear would catch a little bit of momentum and like it took one of us out holy shit so one of the guys is riding the bear down the hill as the other two of us are trying to pull him and the bear then like through the brush yeah because like this thing's like once once it gets going you want to keep it going so what do you think you're going to do with the bear now like mount it they are trying to turning it into like a rug. Sweet. That would be really cool.

The bear, though, it obviously feeds on young elk. So like, yeah, it was a good thing to take out. They're stoked to get rid of the bear because it probably saved 20 elk. Wow. I thought they just ate honey and wore red shirts. Some of them do. How old do you think that bear was? That bear was like three or four.

So can you eat like bear meat? Is that a thing? You can, but you want to like cook it through because they carry some disease. Carnivores. Are you even like getting that meat? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's really good. It's a little greasy, but you do like 50-50 with beef. It's super good. Yeah, so the bear was a crazy side quest. No kidding. Yeah, when you set that picture at like, what came through to us,

I think got like 2 a.m. or something like that. You hunt until dark, and it's an hour behind here. And then by the time you're off the mountain and down and you get the bear put away, like it's late. So like every night was super late.

And what time you're getting up just real early? Five? Cheese, Louise. Well, you got to get on those ridges before sun comes up. Yeah. next day I'm still the only one that hasn't shot an elk and it was like all hands on deck to get this dude is elk really well yeah they were like all the different guides for like all the different people there they'd all tagged out so it was like all guides hands on deck yeah I mean it was you were the main objective all the help you could get yeah and so we like spend the whole morning glassing around and you're basically just doing the whole the whole time you're just like you're going to a ridge you're hiking down the ridge glassing at the other side. If you don't see anything,

you go to a different spot, you glass. And like that first morning, we had seen this huge bull crests this hill, probably a mile and a half over, right? Because if you're high enough, you can see forever, especially with these good binoculars.

It might look like it's pretty close, but it's really a mile. And we're like, all right, let's go and chase this guy down. Like, this is probably our best bet. We hike down like two miles down this ridge and the whole thing is downhill. So I'm like,

oh, this is going to suck coming back. You got to go back up and out. And we end up, like, getting down to the spot that we saw at Crest the Hill. And the dude was just gone. They just vanish. Like, you're like, I know it's here, but you can't find it. Which is so frustrating because, again, the brush is so thick, you can just lose them. If they lay down and their antlers just look like twigs, they're just gone.

Do you use calls at all? Yeah, but, like, if they're not in rut, it's not effective to, like, get them up and moving. but they did the call so this bear is sitting there in the brush and my guide is sitting there doing calls to try and get the bear to like peek his interest to stand up and move around

and wasn't doing it and then he was like all right I'm going to do like a dead rabbit call so he's just like like the most obnoxious noise you've ever heard in your life you can still see like the bear like move its head just like a tired dog and he's like I can't believe this thing isn't moving

right there so that's why then we resort it to. Like, you obviously try and do as much as you can without taking like a blind shot. But you wouldn't do that with an elk. They wouldn't tell you to take a blind shot like that. But, yeah, so we end up walking two miles. We don't find this elk.

And at this point, I'm like, damn, I'm really about to be the only dude. Who didn't get his elk? Everybody's following you around too. I'd be my worst nightmare. So we hike out, it sucks. And then we go back out that night. At this point, it's just like somebody's over here,

somebody's over here somebody's over there and like everyone's trying to find an elk basically and they're just not moving they were like this is like terrible conditions because it's sunny out and it's windy and they don't move when it's sunny and windy and it gets down to like the last 30 minutes and we like bomb across the property to like the other side of the property and uh one of my guides was like there's a big five by six over this hill like this this is your elk let's go kill it and I'm like at this point had pretty much just chalked it up like as an owl yeah i'm not getting an elk but it's all right it's it's all good i just was like yeah it's just not gonna have 30 minutes yeah and uh we crest the hill and sure enough my elk is just at the bottom of this hill at like 350 yards and uh they're like

get set up get set up when you're taking shots like that they want to like they call it build a house so like you sit down you get like the the bipod the tripod set up you know on the front of the gun and then they just start shoving as many backpacks like underneath your arms to get you as stable as possible like makes sense if you're not stable taking a four or 500 yards shot you know if you're moving around just this much it's feet at that that length or could be yards you know that's that's a long shot so like they want you like as stable as possible which i'd seen like all the other hunters had shots like that and then of course we get into this position they're like you got to shoot from your knees and i'm like oh damn it

So I like prop down Get as stable as I can And they're like all right You got like minutes left Like we don't have time to sit there And watch this thing and try and get in a better position Because there was legit like three minutes of shooting time left Holy shit

They're like if you feel stable take the shot And hit him once He keeps moving Like I like hit him Exactly where you want to hit him Like right on the lungs Hit him he keeps moving I hit him again

He keeps moving Like, these things are so tough. Holy shit. Okay. The third shot, I hit him again, and then he goes down. Wow. Like, this dude took three shots and he was still moving. From a huge gun.

Yeah. And so turn around and, like, the whole crew was with. Like, I was the last one to shoot. So, like, everyone is with at this point. And we're just celebrating and everyone's just stoked. You know, I'm sure everyone was like, well, it's probably not going to happen at this point. And then it was three minutes left. Oh, that's so sick.

On the buzzer. Yeah. Literally a buzzer beater. And it was huge. So when do you get the meat? Yeah, when do we get the meat? That's a good question. I don't know, because it'll get processed in Colorado and then, like, shipped here.

And then, you know, it's obviously with the rest of the crew that shot. Was this take up like a full freezer? No, actually, though. Like a full sprinter van. Yeah. Like, actually, that's so much meat. Because one elf kind of fills up a whole freezer if you, like, take all of it. So are we going to get some of this meat or no?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Are you going to share? Yeah, absolutely. Here's mine walking through the scope here. Again, I don't think we can show this, but... That's so dope that the guy's pop there. That was the first pop there. How old do they think that thing?

Did he jump just like they do? And then here's the second. You know, like, think that you just have like HD footage of your hunt here. It's pretty amazing. Yeah. So he's looking directly at me. I'm right next room. Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's exactly like Big Buck Hunter. That's what I was going to say. When he jumped in, he kind of hopped up on his legs, I was like, oh shit, dude, Big Buck Hunter got it right. And then, yeah, the last one. How old did you think this guy? that was five and how long do i like live if they so you shoot him again while he's down here yeah they'll live to like nine or ten okay so he's like yeah middle middle of the road on his life

that's so sick what it was awesome it was awesome dude it was so awesome i was hooked at the end of it but i got to be a part of like all the other the haunts with like all the other siblings and uh i was just like so okay with not shooting one too just because it was such an awesome you already got that bear yeah yeah i was i was like ah if i don't get one it's okay i definitely don't feel like i got jipped on the experience like it was it was so fun but when you're deer hunting they call it buck fever like when when the deer comes out and you get on it hardly think straight you can't think straight you can't hardly breathe your your heart is like pounding like you've never felt it before and it was like that for elk except for like on steroids my bet especially with the buildup of five days of

hunting into this moment down to the last minutes. That's the first time you've like scoped up on one to take a shot right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn. So yeah, it was a hunt of a lifetime. Okay. And like a bowl of a lifetime like so lucky. You're going to put it up in your living room or something like that?

I'm going to have it Euro mounted and then I'll put it somewhere. What's a Euro mount? Where it's like the skull and then the horns. Yeah, that'll be close. So not like a shoulder mount is when it's like the, you know, shoulders forward with the whole head. You know how they make it, Ryan? Is that, I think. You guys saw it on dirty jobs.

They carry the head, don't they? Well, it's like different series of bugs, and they dunk it. That's my favorite kind of. It just, like, dissolves it? They eat it. They eat it, yeah. And then at a certain point, yeah, you use some chemical and you bleach it. It's like the cheapest, but that's not the point of it.

It's just like, it's the coolest, in my opinion. Yeah, I agree. Like, and doing a whole shoulder mount, like, that's a big thing to have in your living room. Well, that's the thing, dude. These oak are so big, you guys. Yeah. I mean, it would be, if you had it on this wall, the nose of the nose of the, The elk would be like right here.

I mean, it would just be a lot to have your living room. Yeah, they're just massive animals. So was that your fiancé's first elk or she gotten one prior? No, she's gotten a couple before. And Greta's was just like so much bigger than mine. And mine is still huge. Massive. And Greta's is bigger.

Fuck, that's so cool. Yeah, that is sweet. That thing is huge. How many miles were you hiking on this whole endeavor? A lot? I don't have, uh, exact stats of it but like it was phone on you all day yeah but going to health i don't know how accurate this is i clicked on the health app on my phone once and a middle finger popped up

so about 20 that's a lot that's a lot of steps yeah well hard steps with gear on and everything especially at elevation like that's dang dude it makes me want to do that i i went on an elk hunt with my dad like when he had cancer so it was really hard but we didn't get an out and we hunted for three and a half days and so you're like you know yeah yeah how hard it is but it was funny like you you get the two mule deer tags when you get your elk tag or at least we did in montana it was just funny like at any given moment they're like well i always take the mule deer there you turn one i always take the mule deer there man they are dumb meal deer are even dumber ryan you'd be so cooked you would if i lived in montana oh you'd be so cooked actually i'd need one

those ranch bumpers on the front of my rig yeah yeah you'd need a full-on like apocalyptic set up on your truck i just put like a skewer on it like for baling hay you know the hay bales and then i could just grab them and then i could just drive them over to the butcher shop and they could just take care of it i'm not you're going to say the fire pit but butcher shop too you'd like something to protect the sides as well dude i was trying to think while i was out there i was like man this would be so fun to get to experience with you guys and i was like Like, who would enjoy it? Mike, you'd obviously enjoy it.

I don't think Ken would. I don't think Ryan would. It's not that good with guns. But I think CJ, you'd actually enjoy it. I think I'd like hunting. I think you would. I think you would really, really appreciate just, like, it's slowing down. It's not anything like that crazy, but you get like the thrill of it, the experience of it.

Great exercise. Yeah, it's great exercise. But it's just so fulfilling. I've been meaning to get into hunting. but growing up I was always playing hockey during like hunting season so I just never went and got my hunter safety and then by the time I got done with hockey then we were kind of filming videos

and you can't really film hunting for YouTube you can but it just doesn't it doesn't work and we can't really do that on our channel so I've just never prioritized it I'd like to do it though but just like realistically I'd have to take time off and I probably shouldn't start with an elk hunt I'd probably should just start with some basic deer

Deer hunting around here, yeah. I mean, we got land now, so... Could we hunt out, like, by our track? Yeah, you could. I mean, there's deer... Do you need your slugs in this area? I think it is a slug area, but I'm not positive. I don't know, but often when you are in all these fields where it could travel along with.

What's the highest you can set? Can you set up in the Hummer? Or is that too tall? No, bro. I think there's so much deer in this area. I think they took, there used to be, like, a 16-foot limit, I think, like, years ago. But as far as I know now, there isn't, at least where I'm. I am, but we don't have fields either.

I know all the fields, things are different. Yeah, there might be. So is elk meat really good? Like, it's sought after? Yeah, it's good. That's cool. Yeah, we'll get a bunch. And then you can, you know, obviously makes it with whatever.

Different stuff. Yeah. Get Chef Jen to chef something up with it. You got to have to make us some bear spaghetti. Oh, yeah. That'd be good. No, it is. No, yeah.

They said that, too. Bear spaghetti? Well, the meat's just like a little bit like oily or greasy, whatever you want to say, But when you use it in, like, other recipes, it's super good. Like, if you just had, like, a patty of bear, you might be like, ah, it's maybe not the greatest. But Jen would be all about that. She, like, that's the thing with hunting is then you know where you got your meat source from. It didn't go to, you know, the store.

It didn't. It wasn't, like, unless you bring your deer in to have processed with, like, 900 other deer. And you always got to be worried that you're getting. I've always been kind of scared of doing that. Like, we've never processed her stuff. That's how it works. No. Well, they say they don't.

But we're checking after opening week of deer season and the butcher's got. 150 laying there. Yeah. And they just go, well, 40, 50. Yeah, 100 pounds of meat to them. Yeah. You never. Yeah, no for sure.

Truly no, yeah. That's what I always bugged me about my family being cheap growing up is that we did most of the meat processing ourselves. So, like, what's a lot of work? It sucks. Leaving the pig intestines on the meat grinder and they're popping. Oh, it's crazy. peak of shooting the deer

and then you know that that's so fun and gutting it whatever and then you're like skinning it you're still excited and then you're just cutting the meat off and I'm like this sucks why do we have to do this I know yeah this we're too cheap my dad my dad still I think he enjoys doing it and I'm like this is not

fun and we bring a little bit of it it's usually freezing out too and you're just trying not to cut yourself like the whole time and they usually do They just enjoy it Because then my dad got a dehydrator And then I was like It doesn't end

Jerky's a lot of work Jerky's so much work And it reminds me of Frickin's been cooking sourdough Friends like jerky They're like give me some of that jerky Giving away the jerky is like You're like I worked hard on that

Yeah You better appreciate this Yeah Dude jerky is the best My dad goes crazy with the jerky Yeah You like has to watch it Like some

You kind of could just put it In the Dehydrator for 10 hours But he's in there check-in, oh, this shelf comes off. Too dry, too much. Yeah. It's the whole process. I think that you would really enjoy bow hunting, CJ.

I think you'd enjoy just shooting a bow because it's similar to golf where it's hard to get good at and then once you get good at it, it's satisfying. That's annoying. What? You're a muffler. You don't hear it? Oh, I don't even notice it. I usually drown it out with the radio. How's this?

Oh, yeah. Way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bell Air Direct and use the money to fix your car. I love getting new clothes, especially with the seasons changing and getting more stuff for winter. But it always feels like I'm overspending. Most brands charge a fortune for just one piece and that's why Fabletics is different. The membership gives me an entire outfit for what I'd normally pay for one item. On the first of every month, they send me an email and I just decide if I want to purchase a member credit or skip this month.

But the quality really surprised me. These pieces feel like the kind of high-end act of where I'd normally. normally be paying $150,200 bucks for. I'm getting that level of quality at a fraction of the price. I got this workout set here. I desperately needed new shirts, honestly. Fabletics feels super high quality without having to overspend. You won't be disappointed.

Yeah, I've thought about buying a bow just to shoot around in like my yard just for like when I'm bored.

Yeah. Now I'm golfing. So it's like how much time do I got? CJ's like fucking Robin Hood out there just sniping squirrels and stuff from the deck. Yeah, we've done it before. We've done some stuff. Oh, that's on the channel. I follow, I forget his name.

I follow some dude on Instagram that does just strictly archery trick shots. Oh, really? Like, yeah, I mean, he can like shoot clay pigeons, freaking behind his back. shoot like, you know, a ring, someone throws a ring up and he, like, shoots the ring into the target. Damn. I could shoot like an apple off Ken's head or somebody. Yeah, maybe give you a few years of training before we.

Let's go try it after this. Just kidding. Yeah, Ryan and I, we went to Nashville. Oh, yeah. In Nashville for a wedding. The opposite of a relaxing weekend in the mountains. Yeah, it looked hectic. You guys break it in for me?

Oh, yeah, you're going this weekend, Ev? Yep. Gave them like a little warning. Technically Monday. Each spot. I'm a little bit. What you're going to think of Nashville, Evan? I don't want to spoil it, though.

I don't want to... I pretty much know what I'm getting into. Do you? I think you're going to think Nashville is a C word. Cheeto. You can't say Cheeto anymore? No, we can. I think you're going to think it's pretty Cheeto.

I hope you have fun. It's like everything that you hate. I know. Yeah, okay. You guys need to get back to yours, but either way, it's for my girlfriend's birthday. She really wants to go. She's stoked about it. I'm stoked to, like, go have a good time.

It's also everything that you love. And the only thing to do there is your favorite activity. It's drinking. So it's like it's this balance where I think you're going to be very conflicted because you're going to be like I should be having the time of my life. But my brain hurts because of all the country music. But everything I stand for hating is what represents this entire experience. Which is being country.

Like the country music And every single bar that you go into Is 17 floors of country music Yeah, they have like a bunch of artists that You guys are stressing me out Because I've heard everyone knows I can be like I mean there's other stuff It's few and far between isn't it

If you're on Broadway Really anywhere There's always some artists singing a cover Of a big song Like everywhere It's just and it's really loud They always have it cranked That's what I've heard some people complain

it's almost too loud if you just want to like you can't even talk it looks loud and then i saw you made it up to some rooftop and they're just blowing the speakers with edm which i don't know if you'll love yeah i don't know if you love the edm either but that kind of seems to be the two directions you either get country or country remix into edm it's really packed too like i'm in the same boat as you like Alex she loves Nashville but uh when i was there i was thinking to myself like the only thing to do here is drink all the bars are literally the same They're jam-packed shoulder-shoulder playing country music. And I really don't know anyone here.

So it's like, why are we just sitting here just fucking crammed in? Screaming at each other. Yeah, I can't even talk. The four of us went out and we're like, what are we doing standing in this crowded bar where neither of us can even talk to each other because it's so loud? You're just standing around. You have to wait so long for a drink. I mean, you can, I'm getting so stressed out.

I'm sure you can find a spot that's not. But, like, also it was fun. Like, Nashville is a nice place. It's got nice weather. The city's safe. You're a better yapper than us, too. Really, really good food. Really good food.

I think if you just, if you're really drunk, you'll have fun. But like to try my run out of mechanical bull. There's got to be a few of those around. There is. But you're going to have to stand in line behind a bunch of girls on Bachelorette parties. Woo! Every corner. The one thing I'll say is people compare it to Vegas.

Oh, it's just like Las Vegas. It's not like Las Vegas. Well, yeah, there's no game. Yeah, Las Vegas. There seems to be more activities to do, in my opinion. There's a million things. You could go to Vegas and not drink and still have an awesome time. You can't do that in Nashville.

The only thing you can really do in Nashville is go to a bar. Or I guess you can go to a nice restaurant. There is nice restaurant. So I will say that. And we went to a really good one. Ryan, myself, and our two women. Who shall not be named? Alondra and Alexis.

But I just wasn't going to go through all the names. But anyway, it was funny. supposedly that was like the nicest is that one of the nicest restaurants i guess it was really hard to get into a launder made the reservation i shit you not six weeks ago when we decided we were going to the one might be so well yeah and we the only reservation that we could get was at like nine 15 p.m what was it steakhouse or yeah apparently Travis and taylor were there the weekend yeah Travis Kelsey Patrick mahomes cane brown and then all their spouses obviously taylor swift and but get this so we're pulling up we walk to the place and we're walking up yeah we're walking up

and i see blue Ferrari that's wrapped kind of cheeto wrap i'm not going to lie but it was wrapped but i was like damn sick that's a sick Ferrari and then i see an r8 pulling up and it was whistling's old filmer keller okay and then i see a hurricane perfamane backing in and it's a convertible and i look in it's cane brown and one of his boys oh he's got to He's got a sick Huracone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen that. And then it's Matt Black. And then there's a Matt Black SVJ backing in.

And then there's a yellow Lamborghini Euris back in. I'm like, holy fuck. These are some sick-ass cars. They literally, like, hop out and go walking in to eat at the same place that we were going to. But, yeah, it was kind of cool having Kane Brown whip up in front of us. Yeah, is there a lot of cool cars there? A lot of G-wagons, dude. There's a ton of G-wagons.

I've heard that. I've heard that. It's like the, yeah, the vehicle of choice for Nashville. It's a shit ton of G-Wry for Nashville moms. But those were easily the coolest cars we've seen. And I will say, I'm not a big fan of yellow cars. That yellow Uris was sick. If I was going to get a Uris, I'd get a yellow one.

Really? It was crazy. Was it wide-bodied? No. It just was sick, dude. It was just sick. I don't know. I normally wouldn't think that, but it was really cool.

I could see you ripping, even a yellow Huracon. I'd love a yellow hurricane. A bunch of carbon fiber all over it. Yeah. It would be pretty sick. I think the Lambo yellow is just right for a yellow as opposed to the Corvette. It was fun, but it was fun because I was like, we, we walked or, well, I guess, yeah, the whole weekend was fun. Seed and I had a good time.

But, like, going, walking into that restaurant and, like, seeing all those cars out front, I was like, damn, dude, I wish we had a cool place. Like, obviously, we have Zorps. That's the joke. It doesn't get any better than that. But, like, imagine getting to rip down brothels. Rodway shooting flames out of your fucking car and then you pull up curbside to the restaurant. They're all sitting out in front and then you eat dinner at a really sick restaurant and then you get to hop in them and go home. Like it actually seems like a fun drive.

Yeah. You hit some sweet Nashville roads as opposed to Cormor that's covered in P. Rock and you just avoid deer on the way home. And then, you know, that's it. That SJJ is so sweet. Dude, I think about that. Like even when we were in not even crazy at all, but when we were in Appleton, It was, like, so fun. We got to drive down.

Yeah. All had her cars. I'm like, dude, we'll never get to do this. It's such a different vibe that would make owning a cool car way more fun. Yeah. Like, the thing about owning a cool car and Cormorant, you're driving the same roads that are super lame. There's P-Rock shit everywhere. And then, yeah, half the time it's raining and you don't have anywhere to go.

Yeah. It's kind of a lot, too, like in front of, like, most people around here are just driving a normal rigs and you're just whipping up and like it's kind of it's pretty douche it's just kind of pretty yeah you really just look like you're doing too much but also if you love cars what else you're going to do which is why we do exactly like there is no other reason for us to have driving them to flex yeah no one really sees them like if you lived in a big city a lot of people would be seeing you like if we were buying it to flex like you know like we're just ripping them around like there's like 10 people here I'd see them but uh no I will say I had more fun this now

Nashville trip than last one. It was just like, I don't know, it was just fun. Maybe it's because we were doing less standing around the bar. Like Alex and I and Ryan and Alonjo, like, we would like go and do different things. And I don't know. It was more things to do than just like literally stand at the bar the whole time. We only did that probably one four night. I got to ask then, what did you do?

Because like, I swear three minutes ago, you just said there's nothing to do but go stand in an overly loud. Nothing. So I'll tell you what we did. Nothing. Like Alex went out. Evan got his. excitement back up oh so there is a chance and then he said by the pool we sat by the pool for two days

like for pretty much the majority of the day and it was hot we went out to eat Alex went shopping and I trailed behind her I worked out every day in the morning and then we went to a wedding and then we also went to a wedding party thing the night before bachelor party or not the groom's dinner so like you guys got invited to the groom's dinner no we weren't invited to the groom's dinner oh you just went we showed up at the end there was an after party okay okay I was gonna say I was gonna say Damn, anyone was invited, huh? Yeah. But, no, it was fun.

It was a great wedding. It was a fun time. But probably the most legendary part was Alondra and I were just kind of bar hopping on the last night because we're like, fuck it. We're here. You know, let's just go out for a little bit after the wedding. And we'll maybe meet up with the wedding party when they're done with the reception. Anyway, we walk into totally random bar, never been into it before. And I look to my left and there is one of our friends that lives around here, Chad, Chattahoochee.

and he's leading the swag surfing dance to the whole a whole packed bar like one of our not even the slightest clue what the hell the swag surf is he the one we ran into in key west no no i don't think so he's like there was someone seeing karaoke and yeah that was jalen oh yeah that's right either way running into people that we know in random places can you can you describe this swag surf because i don't think i've heard you say this multiple times Kansas cities, they're like super popular. They're the football team. They're always doing swag surf.

I don't know. It's like a dance. You get a little wider stance and you go like this. And then the whole crowd does it back to you. And then there's a rap song that we can't play a dude to copyright reasons. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

But anyway, he's just doing that. He's like running the entire crowd with karaoke. And I was like, holy shit with the mic up. Did he have like a residency on this karaoke? I don't know. It seemed like he was kind of the man. So I walked in, got a beer. another one after Swag Surfing? He did. Yeah.

Oh, shit. Okay. All right. So he was the man. He wasn't just up there just hitting one song and it was just happened to be the time that you walked in. Like he was up there doing his thing. Yeah. He was. He had a two songs. And he's a real he's a realtor. He's not a he's not doing music. Exactly. Yeah. You got to try what I did when I went to Nashville. You just got to find some musician buddies and then go party in their basement while they jam. Yeah. Mike had a completely different Nashville experience. I'm not saying that that is actually what you should. do but it was it was i one of my trips there was before i was 21 it was with jake and cody but like that actually is fun there's so many musicians it'd be like running into

rick duff and then be like yeah i mean come back to the basement with us smoke cigarettes and and jam out that's why i was just going to describe it like you took the words i was smoke some cigarettes and jam out so one of the things that ryan and i did actually was ryan got me on online gambling so i don't do that in tennessee no you can't no we had to we had to vp sports betting is legal there i don't think they have any casinos though anyways we're doing this online casino just to keep it short ryan's like yeah i've been playing this i'm up 1500 bucks he sends us a screenshot and goes pretty sure i just found an infinite money hack yeah infinite money glitch dude literally in the 11 second screen recording i made 1,200 it was amazing i did see

that ryan i didn't have a single lick of fomo of you guys being in nashville the entire time i was watching your stories and I was I was honestly watching like damn I'm glad I'm not there because it's just not I don't know I just didn't have that much fun last time we went and then I saw that you sending a screenshot of you gambling and I was like oh my god this is not good I need to put my phone down before I download this app I use Ryan's promo code and I and I start losing my future children's college education it's been taking everything I have not I gamble on my phone I was this is so bad for me to see it is bad you really shouldn't have because it turned me into a different human being so i start planning this i only gambled for 24 hours on my phone straight i mean it'd be like we had to get up at like 430 on sunday morning to go to the airport i'm ripping i'm ripping blackjack waiting for alex to walk out the room anyways i ran a hundred dollars up to seven thousand what

Yes, $6,900 profit. And then? And then I'm such a sicko. I lost all $7,000. Yes. And I put $1,000 back in and lost that too. That's exactly what I would do. Yeah.

No, it was so bad. It was so bad. How bad of a losing heater did you get on? Well, I started putting a lot of money in. So, like, you know, I was very slowly working my way up and down and I would throughout the day of travel I was up and I was I would be at like 6,000 and I'd maybe go to 4

and then I'd get back at 6. I was at 7 well I was getting pretty big hands but yeah it's so easy when I'm sick to my stomach and disgusted with myself to do that and that's when I realize I'm like I can't have this and of course my immediate thought is why don't I just put 2 grand in and throw it in on one hand

and I could get back up and the thing is what happens when you lose that and what happens and like realistically eventually you should hit but also it's an online casino you can't trust these things like it's not like they got the cards right in front of you it was so easy to play so addicting and you could literally play it like this so quick like we're standing in line at chipotle i start fucking playing it's so bad it was so bad but you know at the end of the day i lost a thousand buck whatever i could have had seven k up the thing is is when do you stop and i should have just stopped because i was a 700 x is a pretty good 70 x my 70 that's insane like i've never had such a run and and ultimately i didn't lose it all in one streak you know it was like i was kind of up and down up and down and yeah you just paid a thousand bucks for entertainment for the weekend uh i was like 24 i don't know why but like getting

seven gs off of a thousand is like amazing getting seven gs off of a i can't believe i just what that's that's that's a crazy come up i didn't even know what happened i told myself if it gets below five i got a walk and i don't just kept going oh let's see what happened you're a sicko i didn't mean to sound excited that you like lost that i was just excited to know that you did the exact same thing that i would you should not like oh my god we are way and it's so easy to just load up gambling is probably the quickest way to lose any kind of wealth you have like straight up holy shit cj i mean i love gambling i had no idea i'm so disappointed myself for doing that i'm so disappointed

myself because it's like what the fuck dude what like what what are you doing and i you just lose self-control i can see why they have these sites banned and i think they should stay banned oh well let's just relax now i think they should stay banned dude it was so bad and like it was just not good and you you actually do have a slight bit of self-control oh yeah i've great like you have well not at the casino i've seen them play black jack so yeah i guess that is the thing like you've you've You've been able to quit drinking. You've been able to eat clean. You've been able to have discipline to work out.

You still lost all of that money in a matter of an hour, right? So think about the people that don't have that left side of their brain that says maybe slow it down a little bit. Like my buddy's sitting up behind this table over me. I lost that 7K in probably 10 minutes. Oh, God. Oh. No, yeah. I was in between.

I was in between. $100 hand, $200, $400. No, I was doing like. 250 hand average but uh but you had to get up to like multiple thousand or maybe a $1,500 hand I lost maybe two anyways no dude it was in between half time of a football game because of course I sit there and I play prize picks yeah you had a and I and draft kings I'm sitting there and I was like I'm gonna do this you know so it's 15 minutes like I lost it so quick so quick it was disgusting I didn't know what the fuck happened I mean that's like the uh YouTuber Togi I just

watched his video last week where he won $5.5 million with Steve Will Do It. And then I was watching his snap story yesterday. And he said, I am beyond broke. I have these mortgages. I have employees and expenses that add up to like 180 grand a month. And I don't have a single dollar to my name. I was like, dude, how did he lose? He does. Say splits it. Two million dollars in the last week. He did it, some of it on purpose, which is also, I think, twice as insane. He's like, I got to get back to broke so I can start up Schemeeland and then start making money. How do you lose on purpose? He like gave his money away. He owed like $380,000 to the IRS, but instead he just gave cars watches and money away so that he could. Yeah, I mean, that was

one thing I thought about too is I was like, dude, Steve is like in the whole, Steve will do it's and like the whole pretty bad, as you see on his thing, like how he owes the casino a million. He owes this guy $100,000 because they're always taking loan. So I'm like, dude, it's just like, what are you really doing? And the thing is, is those guys get paid to refer you to use those sites. So like the fact that they're blowing through that as well is crazy.

But Ryan, you can pull up how much I wagered because I use Ryan's referral code. Yeah, thank you. I want you guys to see this. I do want to say that you. It's probably $100,000. You earned me $16. $1.74. Should I say the total amount wagered? Yeah, say the total

amount wagered. Because if you had per se done this in Vegas, the hotels would be calling you, saying, we're going to put you on a plane and you come back this weekend. Yeah. Total wagered $83,722. I did that in 24 hours. No! No!

I kept checking it. I quit gambling and I just kept checking it. Because I kept watching it just jump astronomically. CJ! What did you do? But I only lost $1,000, but yeah, I worked 100 up to a 7. But, you know, it changes as it fluctuates.

So, like, it's not saying I spent 86, but, like, you know, if I did a $500 hand and I lost that, and then I did a $1,000 hand, I won that. That right there would be $1,500 or whatever. That's why I'm terrified to look at my little players card at the casino. You know, you might only burn $500, but through the ups and downs, you might have done $20,000 through the slot machine in a night. just to lose 500. Did you delete the app?

It's not an app, but no, I got it off my phone. I'm just dover it. I'm over it. I'm fucking pissed. Although I keep thinking to myself, I'm like, I could just do one big hand swing and possibly do it. So that's what obviously, like you just said,

like a lot of them might not be real. I am entertained by some of the ones I see on Instagram where they do these huge ones. They're like, I'm going to come in. I'm going to play three hands. And if I win, whatever, I'm going to walk out with this. car i don't know if that's real or not but if it is it's like kind of cool you should do it right now you should i think it's i don't think we could do it and also kind of back to what you said about

like steve being super down let's do it at lunch from the pod's over the thing is it's like when do you stop i think oh yeah tomorrow this is where i was going with this Evan. So then I started thinking about you, because I'm like, dude, this guy spends more time gambling or in a casino than anyone and is just crazy how quickly you can delete money and really have nothing to show for it. So I started thinking my stock market, like my brokerage account, I check that 50 times a day. And sometimes it's, okay, whatever, maybe. Sorry, I'm just like that. I check it a shit time. Check it a shit on. Sometimes up a lot. And other times it's down a lot. It's constantly changing. And that is almost the same thing as gambling because you're up, you're down. But ultimately, as long as you're buying tried and true staple stocks, you're going to win in the long run. But I think you should just start, like, even if it's like a portion of your gambling fund,

put it into this, like I'll even help you tell you just like some basic stocks, Amazon, Google, Tesla, whatever, just these basic stocks. And you'll still get the same thrill kind of. It's much tamer of a thrill. I'll see that number up and it goes down. Straight to the cash house. Yeah. I'm just kidding.

But you got to keep it. You got to keep it. No, no, I know. It actually is a good idea. It is. And I get your jollies from that.

You do. And I do get the jollies from it. It's not close to gambling on your phone thousands of dollars is insane. That's rush. See, and that's what's crazy too is like, even if I go to the casino by my house, like for blackjack,

it's like table max is like a hundred bucks. That's bad though because then you can't catch it back up. Well, yeah. It is. That's bad. don't want table maxes like that or yeah but if you're gambling five dollars a hand it takes a little bit to get to a hundred you if anyone that's just like oh it's for entertainment it's kind of bullshit because

you do want to go win but you can go play blackjack for five to twenty dollars a hand with a couple hundred bucks and have some beers with your friends and it's not quite as devastating and then even with like the slot machines it's not like Vegas with the high limit rooms where you can be spinning like hundreds of dollars a spin on a slot machine like max spins like 10 bucks So I feel like how impulsive I am, it's nice to have those slight restraints. Guardrails on the phone. But you get on the phone, I mean, the sky's the limit on that. There's literally. I don't think there is a max. And I think I would do exactly what you said. Like, well, you lose the 100. Now it's a two.

Then the two is a four. Now the four is an eight. Before you know it, you're selling the farm to try to break even. Yeah, it's bad deal. God, you guys are degenerates. I think like with the stocks, though, like I always get that little bit of dopamine hit. Like right as market opens. Yeah, it feels good. It's so fun. Even Evan, you do know that you have a 401K, right? I guess. I signed a paper one time.

Let me try to pull that. No, we have. I can put more money into that, can I? Yeah, but you do have investments. Don't do the 401K. Just do the stocks. But I was going to say, I mean, he has investments. Yeah, he already have enough going into it.

Forced upon him for your own good. Yeah, we actually made you have to do that. No, I got the option. I did max. You did. You did have the option. You can't be forced into a four. We did.

As much as we asked, as much as we asked the, you know, the guys that set it up for our company, we said, can you make this mandatory for certain employees? And they were like, well, no. Can we tell them it is? But seriously, last thing I'll say, you would get some of that dopamine hit from just checking your stocks. You'll go up, you'll go down. It's kind of just like gambling, except you'll more than likely win in the long run. It was like a year ago, Ryan kind of helped me get going on Robin Hood, I think.

I just asked a few extra too many questions. I didn't have access to the information. I never got it. Damn it. I don't know if it was, they probably need some tax numbers, some shit. Robin Hood's like,

they needed one thing I didn't have. Robin Hood is like the most gamified version of buying stocks you can possibly. Yeah, I think when you press buy, it like gives little sparkles. Oh God. And I was ready for the experience. I actually remember when I was setting up this account,

I was sitting in a hot tub, drinking a beer, being like, I'm getting into the stock market. Fucking, I'm going to start investing. Seriously. And then, uh, yeah,

that makes me bumble. We didn't do it, dude. My shit's up like 60% because stock just keep going up. Cause I just have a couple. Stock never go down. On Venmo, there's like,

you have like six options to buy shitty crypto, like, oh yeah. In Venmo. So I've done that and I'm like doubled my money on that stuff. But it's not much. If you think that maybe the stock market's a little too safe and you want to be more edgy with your, I do like edging.

Yeah, exactly. I think you could. get into crypto and have that same feeling. There you go. And I honestly, I think it'd be as good of an investment. Fun thing about crypto is especially right now. The market's open 24 hours a day.

Yeah. So you can do it late at night. One time Ben was trading penny stock or penny cryptos and paid for his dinner. Yeah. Ben and I were, uh, we were trading. That's fun. Shits, uh, what, meme stocks, shit coins. Yeah.

And, uh, we bought dinner that night. We did. I'm glad. I'm glad. I'm glad. CJ brought it up at, because I was going to say to Ryan just said the stocks always go up. They do. I know.

a lot of you know this, but like, you're going to lose gambling in the long run. You're going to lose. Yeah, no one's ever beat the casino. Yeah, I'm talking like Steve to CJ to me, you're going to lose. And the stock market, you're not. If you're buying, decent stocks. I'm saying over time. And that's why you should sign up for Money, Mike's financial advising.

I would never. I'm not a lying sack of shit like Ty Lopez. Yeah, Ty Lopez is not a financial advisor, but yeah. Oh, he's something. He's got Lamborghinies and books in his garage. Who the hell listened to Ty Lopez in the first place is my question. Fucking Radio Shack was like, this guy is going to be our saving grace. If you don't know what, Ty Lopez, I got Lamborghini in my garage from reading all these books.

That guy, knowledge guy. He just got hit with like a $112 million ponsie scheme, call it, for telling all these businesses that were failing that, all right, I'm going to take you from brick and mortar to online presence. turn your business around, and then we'll obviously all reap the benefits, sold it to a bunch of different investors. Like Radio Shack? That's why Radio Shack doesn't exist anymore? Radio Shack, it wouldn't have been. Has Radio Shack existed?

When's the last time it existed? I don't know. Five years ago? He did it with a couple different companies. Maybe pull it up. But he was basically, you know, selling a class, like, to other people as well. Yeah, but this thing was like selling it to investors. and then Rob and Pete to pay Paul kind of deal,

which is the classic Ponzi ski. And you don't want to get mixed up with Pete or Paul. Maybe we should start a Ponzi ski. What do you think we'd do? Cheeto coin. Nope, that's just the coin. So the other day, actually, I was sitting in my sauna with shred aids. That had been a really sweaty sauna.

If that guy sweats in normal life, what's he look like in a sauna? Does he melt? Does he melt? Does he melt? Just like a sprinkler? It was, yeah, it was, it was crazy. You make him put the Celsius down. It was crazy.

But anyway, I don't know how we got on the topic of it, but he was like, what do you think the best investment is right now? And I was like, honestly, everyone should buy Bitcoin. And he was like, why? What's up with Bitcoin? And I was like, do you know anything about crypto or Bitcoin? And he was like, no, not at all. And so then I proceeded to.

Dude's an anomaly. You know, of course he doesn't. You think Bitcoin was around the 80s? No, it was not. It was not a concern to him. But I then went down the rabbit hole of trying to get shred aids to start investing his money and different things like crypto or even stocks. I was like, dude, I think you should buy some stocks too. He was like, okay.

I was like, do you have any money anywhere else besides for three wheelers? He was like, no, why would I do that? And I was like, okay. Because it was shortly after he was telling me how up he is on his three wheeler investments. I'm glad that you brought up saying the Bitcoin thing because I was on the phone with our insurance agent. He actually lives in Texas and he said, yeah, Ben changed my life a few years ago because you said it's more of a risk to not own Bitcoin. And he said, you know what? And he went, downloaded the app, started investing, has obviously done very well over the last few years ago.

And then now is actually working on a few different projects within cryptocurrency now. So he's, that's awesome. He said that. He was like, I got to give Ben credit like you guys. affected his life in a positive way. That's dope. That is awesome. Shout out to him.

He's awesome. I won't name drop him, but great. And also not to beat a dead horse here, but I said it from the start. I think NFTs are truly the dumbest thing ever made. I like the idea, but there's like that one, $69 million NFT that's not worth $10K. That's all I'll say on that. That is all I'll say on that. Evan gets into buying NFTs.

It was like one of the first podcast I was on with you guys. You guys went on and on You guys were explaining them to me I can imagine you gave no less than one fuck. Yeah. You should have listened. It's a good thing you didn't.

No, it's a good thing I didn't. Oh, it was NFTs specifically. And I don't think you guys were recommending them. I think you might have just asked me what my stance was at that point. So Evan, when does your Cheeto crypto project drop? I do like the sound of a Cheeto. That's where this was going.

Shred AIDS goes, you can just make a digital currency. see and it's all kind of based off of hype. Why don't we make a meme coin? And I was just like, you stop right there, tread aides. Stop right there. We are not doing that. We're way too late in the game. Be that dumb.

Shred coin. Yeah. Shred coin. Also, how many people ripped off their followers doing that shit? We're not doing it. And we actually had the opportunity to. With like a few different, where they were like, we'll do this coin or we'll do this and where it's like we ain't doing that like how

they're like oh it's going to be worth more like how is this going to be worth more someday there's no way like we're not doing that and we didn't and now there's creators that have i think they've came down on for that and they've gotten in trouble hawk tua hactua yeah she's she's infamous for it i think logan paul had a jam up yeah so anyway if you see shred aid start promoting meme coins don't buy that'd be so off brand I might buy one just in case no I shouldn't say that I don't want to

It's more of a risk not to own shredade coin Shredade coins are going to be actual coins They're not going to be That's pretty funny actually That's actually hilarious It's a gold coin that has a three wheeler on it It's the shred aid coin And the other side is his face going like this

Bro that's actually a good idea Yeah, we got to tell them to do that. That's a perfect jet tag. That's funny. So? Hmm. What else we got? Well.

So, Evan, have you seen the TikToks? Yep. What are your thoughts on them? I don't know. I think that some kids just found out they're going to catch a bunch of views making TikTok saying I fell off. I'd agree with that. I think that they're all a bunch of sheep and they're hopping on a train.

And there's no truth to it? I don't think so at all. Do you feel like, the Cheeto Army is switching up on you. No. I would beg to differ. I think they switched up real quick. You don't think that there's still loyalty in the Cheeto Army?

No, I do think there is. The Cheeto Army is much as shrink tremendously. I'm not so sure, but maybe. I think they switch up quick. They're a bunch of bandwagoners. So for anyone who doesn't know... Careful, you're coming at the Cheeto Army here. So for anyone who doesn't know...

I used to think, maybe you don't want to go out the Cheeto Army. It didn't work out too well for Dalton. and now I'm wondering where their loyalty lies. Yeah, it's no kidding. Just because Dalton's got some followers doesn't mean the Cheeto army is switched up. So to fill in the listener, if I happen to go on TikTok, which I don't really spend much time on TikTok, but when I do go on TikTok, there seems to be this trend going around saying that Evan has fallen off. Although I disagree that you have not fallen off, but there's this trend going around saying that you have

just because you didn't hit that one jump. And then, of course, when I just feel it out, not even attempting to hit it, right over the jump that gets plastered in there and then just spread oh evan fell off look at him i was like damn this is probably going to like come through on camera that he just can't ride a dirt bike anymore and then i mean it got chopped up that way intentionally though like well yeah it was it was more of just like i drive out the gap jump it was like a and then it's like oh he doesn't hit the gap jump yeah it was it was more of just a joke of just like Evan isn't on a bike and then they just took it and ran with it and I think it was more of kids seeing that they could get

some views off of just saying that and then it just kind of spread like wildfire and I've noticed it with like other things too is when we finally like say we'll like crack a joke and then everyone else thinks that they're like I can crack that joke now too yeah so I think that it did just get like blown out of proportion and I think that there's one person that is really like leading the charge of like loving it loving every second of it and that's dalton evans our nemesis i did find out after these were coming up that dalton posted a video like on ticot like months ago where he chops it where i'm on the stark for like 30 seconds and tip over and then he edits it he's like whatever you guys know a video i'm talking about i don't actually i've

seen it yeah he's making himself look like he's better he wheelies around the garage a whole bunch it's oh yeah i did get out of hand clout chasing so hard he's great he's great grabbing on to anything you can i think that one the loyalty of the cheeto army is pretty fluid of where it's loyalty lies but two it's like everybody loves a good comeback story and this is your opportunity to just capitalize on that and then the cheeto army's going to be like we knew he was still able to ride a dirt bike he can still do it i never doubted it for a second and when those are probably still the kids that were like posting that shit or like liking it but i think that uh this is your opportunity to gain the loyalty back i think they're still there but also just like

there's yeah a lot of clout chasing the delusions like bringing spenny into it okay so spenny did a lot of dirt bike in that video and then evan didn't and everyone's like damn watching spennie take evans place it's just so so surreal man and i'm like what's a professional dirt bike yeah and then i'm like and And then there was like, you know, I love reading the comments that are very sane, very, like, they're like, no, y'all are like so crazy. Like, Spenny's just a bro. He's in the videos. And Evan's not going anywhere. And I, like, you know, respond to it.

And I'm like, true. That's how it is, bro. Like, it's not that deep. Yeah, I agree. I think it got out of hand. And kids found out that they could make a TikTok just, like, the worst stupidest little video of, like, just their, like, dirt bike, just slowly panning across it. And then they put some, like, text on there, like, Evan fell off. And then it just gets, like, 60K likes on TikTok.

Well, dude, and it is, like, the plus minus, too. Because, like, I kind of said, like, this summer, we all got memberships at the golf course. And how many days a week did we end up playing golf? Where it's, like, last year, maybe I would have went road bike, which maybe that is pretty lame. I didn't go ride dirt bike. And I played golf instead.

But I had, like, one of the funest summers ever playing golf with the boys. Yeah, we did have a lot of fun on the golf course. And also, like, I, in a weird. Way felt fortunate that like none of that was coming at me because Evan and I both didn't ride big bikes for legitimately three and a half months all summer like we went out like one time this spring which is a damn shame and then when we filmed that vid yeah the only reason I was excelling slightly in that vid was because I went out in practice because I was scared the jumps were bigger and I knew that I had to go out in practice and then and you just didn't have that opportunity

the two days before it people get super weird about us not continuing to do the exact same thing that we did five years ago and they're like oh they're switching up like they even say that about just like the channel in general when like i don't know if the viewer really realizes but like we're not going to just do the exact same thing every single video and like we have like evolved and grown and the channel is much bigger than just like riding dirt bikes now where we do so many things we do it's always been like that it's always been like that But we do so many different things and we've just evolved and we have to to continue to make better videos. The whole thing would decline rapidly if we did the exact same thing and never evolved and never changed.

I mean, you can see the people that are in our same, we'll say niche. Rate in price. Say that. I'll say it. He hasn't grown and adapted at the same rate. And same with Tyler Monaghan. Dirt bikes didn't change, didn't grow and adapt. people are like oh they they've changed they're not who they used to be well no shit yeah i don't

know if if the majority of people say that i think there's just this group of people that just complain and there's that we'll say these ticot kids they just sit there and complain on there because that can get views and and likes and stir up the pot but the thing is is that if we did the same thing if we just only made the same video or we only made writing videos they'd be like man And they're running out of videos, they're running out of ideas. Like, they'll always stand on the side of complaining. Like, that's just the moral of it. And I don't think all of our subs are.

I think there's just a group that is just a bunch of a little whiny little bitches. It's a loud minority. Yeah, exactly. It's a loud minority. But it's not the majority. So when I see those TikToks about Evan, I know who they are. Like, I, you know, it's the same. Yeah, if you just click their account, it's like some little kid.

It's the same people like that. So, like, I haven't really thought. too deep into it and I know Evan doesn't give a shit. I know he doesn't give a shit one bit. I think like a lot of people are curious to what we do think about that or what Evan thinks about that and everyone I tell, I'm like

oh yeah, Evan doesn't give a single fuck. Like you think he cares about like those kids that are saying he can't, he's falling up because he can't hit a... Any one of the kids that made one of those TikToks, I'd line up with him on the track right now. It's still rusty. Like what's run a wheelie back, let's hit a few jumps. Like even Dalton the other day

he said we should go race. And even Spenny goes Dalton. It's like, you can't. Not even for fun. I couldn't piggyback on any of that because like Evan could smoke me. Video. I didn't perform very well. But at the end of the day, I think I still know how to ride a bike.

And you do. I don't let a couple of TikToks get under my skin. Yep. And we're working on a video right now for you to prove all those little TikTokers wrong. And I mean, and that's the extreme side. Like we definitely like, we read all the comments that we are physically able to. And like, we love constructive criticism. Nobody loves hate.

Yeah, no, and I do want to always, like, have my finger on the pulse of, like, what people are saying, what people want to see or, you know, to a certain degree. Right. Because I think if you lose touch with that, yeah, then you lose touch with reality. But, yeah, I just, I've been seeing those and just, I'm just like, oh, man. A few TikToks, now that Mike got married, wonder how long they'll keep making video. And I'm like, bro. And then I use, I'm like, do you guys see Cletus? he's like happily married two kids now and just crushing it i'm like what does that even mean i think

they're just trying to find something to be down about you know like they're trying to find some like you know whatever but and it's that same group yeah totally agree yeah i was reading through the comments in the pod we've been trying to make them you know we've been going a little bit longer and someone commented too long and then i was like god someone is still upset with us like you can make it longer now it's too long you make it shorter it's too short you make it too funny there's not enough seriousness yeah exactly we're getting round there was one two that was like yo

only 37 minutes for the reckless golf six video I'm like it's the longest reckless golf video by far it's longer than some of them combined yeah so I heard Roman Atwood say when he got the most hate he was popping

the most in his channel's history and so he said in the moment it was like oh man I'm getting all this hate but then looking back at it is, of course I was getting hate. I was gaining a ton of subscribers. A bunch of new people were watching. I was getting put in front of so many more people.

Who was I to think that certain people weren't going to like me? And I think that is just something to take into consideration of like, there is hundreds of thousands of people on TikTok that know who these kids are talking about solely by saying the name Evan. It's pretty impressive. How many people in this world are named Evan? And yet somebody just says the name Evan and hundreds of thousands of people know exactly who you are, right? So it's like these people are just, they switch up their loyalty.

And if they're willing to switch up that easy, they're probably the same people that are going to come back. Oh, 100%. I still, for the record, don't think it's the Cheeto Army switching up. It's just people. You're just hearing louder complainers. But that's the thing, too, is I get what you're saying there because there's always been people that don't like you. They've just never had a voice. They've just never had a megaphone for it.

And so they're able to capitalize on a moment like this. It's the same thing with people that don't like Dalton. When we never said anything about them or we never, you know, gave them that voice. You didn't get any hate, but you didn't also have anyone caring about them. Like with, I shouldn't say that. But I should, you know. Yeah. Not that nobody didn't care about him.

But I'm saying like, his parents do. With when a lot of people care about you, you're also going to have haters. So it's like, it's like the given. You were seeing all the Cheeto AI Cheeto memes on Dalton's. Now you're seeing them on Evans. But you got to keep in mind, they're on like Greta's, Elandras, Sidney's, Alex's, they're on everybody. The Cheeto Army just fires those things to everybody. Cheeto memes?

Honestly, I find hilarious. I think the Cheeto Army switched up. I think you have a very small portion remaining, but I think that they'll come back. That's Cap. I think that. I think you have a small portion remaining. I think you're going to have such a successful training week. I think everyone is going to come back

I agree 100% I agree they're all going to come back Just look at what you've already done so far It's so much progress Four minutes on the treadmill and wrecked a Chevy Yeah, exactly It was a great start Good, you were sweating good

You were sweating And we had you bench pressing I did a couple squats That's the sweatiest I think I've ever seen you I'm happy about that honestly Ken's clearly never been in the sauna With this fella He's in there spinning bars at 200

10 degrees. Oh, God. I will say this, though, Dalton is going to be heartbroken come Thursday night when he sees the tides back to normal. That doesn't mean you should just start hating on Dalton.

No, no, no. No, but he has been getting off on Evans' hate and it's going to just be back to just loving him, I think, and Tolan's going to cry himself to sleep. You guys never really made amends. I feel like the amends were made just for the money at that point

I was at the lodge this weekend at Elkamp and this girl that was like 17 was a huge fan I came around the corner and she started crying wow she was like I never thought that I would meet you in the middle of nowhere Colorado my boyfriend is going to melt when like she was freaking out right and so I was just like asking her like you know how long you've been watching And Greta's like, who's your favorite?

And, like, saying all this. And then she goes, I love the Dalton and Evan Beef. And I was like, you do. And she's like, I think it's so funny. Like, they're dynamic. And I was like, oh, yeah, it's like so real. Like, we cut half of the shit because it's like them, like, saying gnarly things to each other that we can't put on the internet. And then you also don't see when they do get along.

And she's like, I just think that that dynamic is hilarious. And I love that you guys show that. I was like, oh, that's cool. I'm always interested to hear, you know, what people like about certain vids or certain dynamics in it. And that one was pretty funny. But we'll see, Ev, the Tides my turn back.

I think they're going 100%. I might even put a bet out on it. Of course. The Cheetah is going to the tone of seven grand. To Evan and they'll probably start hating. Get a call sheet back going. CJ's got like an ideas board of how he can be the forefront of the next TikTok trend about Evan.

Evan's back on top I can see them now Evan's back Some of y'all were just hating Stuff like that I just was cracking the hell up About the like On TikTok the search bar was always

Like Evans fall off clip And people were like Trying to find the clip of you like Physically falling off Which obviously doesn't exist Him falling off the bike Yeah yeah like him falling off the bike And that's that

I was gonna just stay quiet You guys have been asking us to talk about that on the podcast. So we did. There we go. Let's go eat lunch. All right. Thanks for watching, guys. Don't forget to like and subscribe.

Also, we're getting close to $5 million on YouTube. I thought you were going to a better help ad right there. Promo God. Yeah, $40,000 away from $5 million. We're throwing a party at that. Yeah, what are we doing for that? We actually have to figure that out. And we're actually running out of time.

Vegas? I think we do it here. No, we just do it here. We invite all of our friends. Why not? But I think that's a brilliant idea, but like, what else? Break chairs. Cags.

Oh, yeah. I think we just run back the $1 million party, but for five, do it bigger. Cheers. I'm super down. Ben crashes a three-wheeler into the couch. Let's go. Big meat up the next day. We bring big kepp over to smash a whiteboard.

Bring all of our parents there, and they're still going to be disappointed in us. And have them, like, cook us food and cakes, and then we just chuck it across the rooms. And then make them clean it up in the morning. Yeah. Dude, that was crazy. That was crazy. They're going to be like, man, they just never learned. We do got to do something good for it because it's going to, like, five is more of a monumental

number than six or seven. Yeah. So it's like you hit five and then the next time we throw one, we'll be 10. Yep. And I mean, that's huge. We'll throw one for all of them, but the other ones can just be like parties. That's why five can't just be a party. Five is just like you invite everyone.

It seems like such a blur from one million. Like, I don't really remember hitting two, three, or four. Well, bro, it's like, I remember when I made, like, the, the two million hoodie design and then all of a sudden, boom, we're rolling up on five. Which one did we do, like, on the ice where we did the minnow shots? Was that two or three? It was one. That was one. Yeah, that was one.

Why, you want to run it back? Absolutely not. Drop some comments down below. Maybe give us some, uh... Dude, I just, I really think we got to just have our families, all of our friends, anyone that's ever helped us along the way. they pull up and it's just a good old shot party and like i don't know be lit maybe we'll invite one one fan that'll be really comment down below yeah if it was like a giveaway or we just randomly picked one subscriber i don't know it'd be cool though all right we got a lot to think about we got a

little bit of time but if you made it to this point in the podcast appreciate you subscribe if you're new we drop podcast every tuesday and we'll see you next week
