I know what you're talking about.
Not like every year, but a handful of times going through school.
You'd go to like the school gym and they'd test your eyes and they would test.
Maybe it was in middle school.
I don't know.
But yeah,
they basically found out he was legally deaf.
Actually,
there's a pretty funny story of that too.
He was always my linemate in hockey.
And I'd be like,
Sean,
or I'll use a different name here just so we don't like exploit them.
Probably.
Yeah,
I can't imagine this.
He's not listening to any podcast.
He probably didn't care.
Yeah.
So I'm like,
Sean pass the puck and like he would just be looking down and like do his thing and everyone like I was on his line since I was a little kid we'd always be on the same line for some reason and everyone thought he was a puck hog but it turns out we found out in high school that he's just legally deaf and he couldn't hear me yelling did he not know that he yeah he didn't know I was yelling at him yeah but wasn't he like I literally can't hear you obviously it's not like fully deaf but he just couldn't hear very well clearly and it was it was bad enough where he was
legally deaf. So are you legally deaf? When did you find out that you were legally deaf?
Because you can only hear in one ear. Well, I'm not legally. Or what do you mean when you say
legally deaf? I'm sure. I don't know. I would imagine that you would be legally deaf if you can't
hear out of one ear. I was like 12 years old and I got really sick like vertigo or whatever like
inner ear thing. Kind of just realized I couldn't hear out of it. Went into the doctor and they said
I had a virus that messed up my ear, yeah.
Oh, I thought it was just from like loud noises and maybe a firecracker or something like that.
But it was a sickness.
Like a fluky virus.
Like they explained it a virus that's not contagious, but I don't know how you get it if it's not contagious.
It's not something you can like fix with a hearing aid.
I don't know.
I don't know how to explain it.
I don't even know what it's called.
All I know is I just like can't hear out of it.
How fast did it hit?
That's what was kind of weird.
I just felt sick
And I don't know how long
I couldn't hear out of it before I noticed
Because I kind of just felt crummy
And your head was kind of stuffy
So maybe for a couple days
Until I really realized that I couldn't hear out of it
So I noticed that when you listen to music
Obviously you only listen to music
With one ear butt in
But do you hear like vibrations
Or like bass or anything like that
Going from the other one?
I do some I'll run
If I'm listening to music and stuff
I'll run the other one
both ears and i can kind of tell it's there but if anything it's it's just so smothered and
muffled like you could never make out words oh really but you i guess you kind of maybe
pick up the base or the beat a little bit well see that's why you're so easy to sneak up on and
scare not to be a dick ben just finds a weakness like a deaf guy and he's the perfect person
picking on the handicapped kid actually i don't think you would be considered legally
deaf because I'm pretty sure you'd have to get like hearing aids but you can't get hearing aids
because like the thing that you would make louder it's I suppose it would be no point for your case
how common is that I think it's actually pretty common really it's pretty crazy how old were you again
sixth grade 12 or 13 that's kind of a tough tough age to lose hearing in one year honestly I don't
think I was sick for like a week because it messed up like my equilibrium so like I would lay in bed
and watch TV and I'd feel fine and then it's yeah I'd stand up and just be super sick
sick. So like once I got over being sick, I kind of just felt fine and the ear thing was just
whatever. Then you got your balance back? I guess. Apparently. Yeah, dude, that's that's a big
thing. Like when I had a, when I was in my really bad post concussion phase, it was the same thing
except I felt like I was moving at all times. And I, I truly don't think there's anything worse
than that. It's miserable. You can't get away from it. It's like being on a boat. Oh, it's
terrible. Yeah, there's just nothing you can do. Yeah. Do you think that's why you're so jumpy?
backstory Evan is like extremely easy to spook almost to a point where even when you're not trying to
spook him you do like you're just walking up to tell him something he kind of jolts and goes whoa
and Ben has found that weakness in him and now our snapchat story at least once a week has
a spooking Evan when he's working on something who that was a good one man man
I want to kind of say you're sneaking up.
I just flinched.
I think it's my cat-like reflexes.
Like if you were an attacker instead of a pranker, I'm like ready to go.
But then when I see it's Ben, I just stop.
So he thinks I flinched, but I'm really ready to attack.
It is actually Ken's birthday today.
Not when you're watching this, but on the day of filming.
It is Ken's birthday.
So every wish, Ken, happy birthday.
He doesn't like it.
He's not going to respond, but you can wish it.
Ken, do you have a problem with your birthday?
It's like just another day sometimes.
I agree with what you're saying,
but like when people are just like saying happy birthday to you
and I responded to everyone that said happy birthday today.
Did you?
Oh, you didn't?
You didn't respond.
You couldn't even respond in our group chat
when we were trying to figure out where you wanted to go to eat
or even if you wanted to go.
That just took a little bit.
But like this morning,
Sidney texted me happy birthday at 1210 and I responded at 1210.
Thank you.
But you didn't say,
you didn't say thank you to any of the boys in our,
in our boys chat we said happy birthday i said thank you in person and even i feel like saying
thank you in person is more genuine than saying thank you via text do you have beef with your birthday though
no it's just another day do you have people you have beef with people wishing you a happy birthday no
because we always wonder on your birthday because you go so radio silent we wonder if you don't
like it and you don't want to like make a big deal about it because i i i love spoiling you for your
birthday well like today you guys text me happy birthday and i slept in and late in bed until like noon
And by the time that rolled around, by the time I got back texting people, it was like,
ah, that's like 20 messages ago.
I really don't want to reply to this message from 10 a.m.
So, to know the thought process.
We thought, what could we get Ken for his birthday that he would appreciate more than anything?
And we thought, maybe we should just leave him alone all day, not invite you to dinner,
not bother you with anything.
Don't even say hi to you if they see you in person.
We're like, we'll go out to dinner and we'll celebrate Ken's birthday without him.
He would appreciate that more than anything.
It's a great way to honor you still.
It was beautiful.
It was nice today.
Ken, we do have a little history of throwing you the most legendary birthday parties ever.
Like when I look back at people's birthdays, I think Ken's are the most notable.
Because I don't think I've thrown you a birthday party when you turn 21, 22, and 23.
I don't know about 24, but those three years, the cost.
Hops came to your birthday party every time.
Ken has bangers.
They were like the peak birthday years.
Those were the best.
I feel like people without even your consent or asking, they just set you up for
this extreme birthday party.
And then the closer we get to 30, it's just been a slow decline in 27.
That was a low point.
With the cake smashed by Ben?
That was.
That was bad.
A candle to the eye.
And this year, not drinking.
That was a, so was that part of the reason why you're not drinking?
You're like, I don't want to be drunk on my birthday and have my guard down in case Ben
comes out with another cake again.
No, so it's kind of like a few other people, they did dry January and it was like,
I'm starting it late, but whatever.
I'll just go into February, so then I get the full, like, 30 days, one month thing.
And it's been nice.
Just happens to be overlapsed my birthday.
You seem like you've been in a better mood.
And also, I, like, visibly you look healthier, too.
I'm very, very proud of you.
Very proud of you.
My Apple Watch notified me this week that my resting heart rate has been lower for the last 30 days.
I'm sure.
Feel good.
Damn.
So yesterday, we went on the snowmobile ride.
We logged 100 miles.
Actually, it was 99.4, to be exact, because I hopped on the XCR, which had zero.
So I was like, perfect.
We'll know exactly how many.
And I was really hoping to get over that lump.
I don't know if we can claim that the 100 miles.
If it was 100 mile ride.
But it was so fun because, you know, it was Cormorant's pastime, snowmobiling and drinking.
And everybody was out.
And everyone was doing it.
They had all the classics out and the trails were groomed and everything.
We were cruising around.
It was honestly a lot of fun.
I end up taking a pretty hard crash.
Dude.
Hard enough to break my visor, Evan.
It broke my visor.
I don't even know how fast I was going.
Pretty fast.
I still don't know how you even managed to do it.
First of out, what sled were you on?
No, so my dad came with because he likes snowmobile and so, and he hasn't ridden anything, you know, like new like what we got.
He has a like a 2010 skidoo XRS six sled.
anyways and I used to ride that all the time so we were leaving one of the spots I was like
hey you should ride this sled and try it out you know so I hop on the XRS and like it's
significantly slower it's a 600 but it's still a nice sled and nothing wrong with it and I'm
riding it and I'm just falling Ben across this lake just a flat lake that we literally
already went across so like normally when you go across the lake you're kind of like
looking for ice ridges you got to be careful but we already had gone across it and I was
following Ben. He was here. I was like here. And I think what ultimately happened was I put my
guard down because I was just thinking it's just a flat lake and maybe I wasn't holding on tight enough.
Anyways, hit this bump and the suspension on that XR, I don't want to blame the sled, but the
sled was set up like super, super soft. And it hit this bump and it's like out of nowhere and it's
boom. And then I hit another one and it threw my hand off. I like was hanging off the sled. And I tried
grabbing the break and when I grabbed the break
I think I grabbed it too hard
and it like
did one of those where it slid out
the back end. Yeah. The sled
legit went like roll.
No way. Folled it. Three times
and I full on face planted at probably
like, I don't know, pretty fast
because I mean we were cruising across the lake. At least like
45. I mean enough to break my
helmet and blow the windshield apart.
Blow the windshield part. Dude, I was very surprised.
I was confused. I was fucking surprised.
I was fucking surprised, too.
I'm going out there for a nice easy leisurely ride.
And I'm thinking, like, I wasn't even,
I was mad about two things.
I was like,
I can't believe I just did this because obviously I'm conscious about, like,
hitting my head.
It's like the last thing I want to do.
I end up, like, somehow hitting my head on just a nice cruising day,
smashing my face.
And then I rolled the sled, which I felt bad because it was like my dad's sled.
So I'm like,
I'm back to handle bars.
It's all blown apart.
Yeah, but honestly.
are blown off the bars are
blown down. I was surprised that
everything was actually fine because I can ask
I'm like, what's wrong with it? I will pay to get
a fixed. The only thing that happened was
one of the plastics was cracked.
So realistically, not
that bad, but I was just mad at those two things.
But yeah, I don't know how it happened either. I was just as
fucking, it happened so quick
and it just goes to show I shouldn't
let my guard down. Yeah, how fast
shaking goes south. Yeah. Yeah, no, I was
because you were right behind me and I
remember turning around seeing you there and then get to the other side and turn back and everyone's
like huddled around you and I'm like how could something have gone wrong within like a hundred
feet and I came back and I dude I went and look there's no bump I don't know what you hit yeah
it's legit just went boom like I I'm not trying to blame the slide it's it's completely my fault
but I know for a fact if I was on the Polaris that I was riding it wouldn't happen I don't
know something just it just sort of like it was very strange it's just you and that snow
i know i i'm never riding the last time i'm never riding the last time you rode that thing you
supermaned a couple times since but yeah i i do not i just came to the conclusion after i said i'm
never riding that sled again that's probably a good idea jeff is probably like okay yeah
let's uh let's make sure that happens yeah i really wouldn't ride it that much ever but yeah
you just he's got a bad crash to ride ratio on that sled yeah definitely man just like
rolling up and and seeing like that there was a crash.
I was like,
of course,
dude.
Like I could just try and go for like a leisurely ride too and something.
That's usually how it goes.
It always happens.
Yeah.
Being that we're here in the subject of discussion,
we call it a leisurely ride,
but that was one of the most aggressive snowmobile rides I have ever been on.
Well,
following you,
you were on,
first of all,
literally on a rocket ship,
but it was like 85, 90 across every lake.
We're hitting every.
approach 55 miles an hour. It was like we were in a race. And granted, I was on some older iron,
but like me, Greg, Jeff in the back, every time they were like, holy crap, we are really moving.
And I just. Oh, really? Yeah. And which is not, not a problem of how fast you were driving,
but I was like, we were riding like you guys are in the truck next to us filming. It was like that
pace for the entire 100 mile ride. Oh, really? Yeah. It was pretty aggressive. I mean,
of course, it jumps were bigger and stuff like that. But I mean, you see.
start going 55, 60 across lakes, accidents are going to happen. And I'm very glad that you're okay.
I wasn't even like doing anything like that crazy though. I think I, it just literally fucking the biggest
fluke thing. But also I just wasn't really used to that sled, which also really is an excuse.
But it's strange. Dude, it was such a great day though. In the middle of it, I was just like,
it's really fun to go out and ride without a camera. Not saying that like filming it isn't fun,
but just like not thinking about anything besides for just having a good time
where like when we go out in snowmobile a lot of times like especially on like mountain
trips uh you're just constantly looking like all right got to set up here here's gonna be
like the shot i'll whip out the camera and you're just constantly kind of like making the video
but yesterday was just like strictly snowmobiling and just like pure enjoyment and it felt like
very refreshing it made me like excited to go ride again
Got pulled over by the DNR.
Of course.
Yeah.
It's going to happen.
And that is going to happen.
That is going to happen.
And what do you do?
What do you do?
But no,
it was a good time.
It was just like a very Minnesota thing.
It was.
And like it reminded me one of like the great parts of living here.
Yeah.
And there were so many people out riding.
And I was like,
this just makes me so happy to see like the industry is just like like flourishing.
And like all the bars were popping and people were.
they're just like out having a good time it was our like local trail club uh it was the old
timeers run it's what they call it so everybody was out they all had their old slides out went to that
hill and uh it's the biggest hill in cormorant i would say arguably and we didn't make it up
me and ryan too i was a little bit disappointed in that because there was other other people
were like making it up just fine and you two were going i'm like nice they're going to do it
whatever i'll take a snapshot sorry and you guys didn't make to the top it was very icy aren't these two
like the big backcountry riders no very i see no
I was like, you guys are, I thought this hill was small for you.
But there were people doing it on like freaking 80s, 70s, like 82 with like three people, three people.
But the worst part is, is you come, there's, it's on like a pond.
And the whole pond has probably like, I don't know, 150 people on it, 200 people on it.
Everybody's watching sitting there cracking cold ones, whatever.
And if somebody doesn't make it up, the whole crap goes, ooh, what they do when we didn't make it?
Did they go, ooh?
They just started yawning,
Pussies!
As the XLT is dragging us down the hill.
We made it up the second time, though.
If we'd had studs,
we would have torn right up that thing.
Of course.
All right,
so part of my stop Ken and Evan from vaping campaign,
last week I hired a hypnotist
to come to the shop and surprise them
and try to hypnotize them
to not like vaping anymore.
And it did not work.
Did not work one bit.
Well, he did say that people with low IQs couldn't get hypnotized.
Yeah, that was one of the biggest things.
But I got to say that might have been one of the funniest things I have seen in a while.
You two were not having it and Ryan was relaxing and Gavin was full on hypnotized.
Gavin was in it.
And I still haven't gotten a truthful answer out of them.
Because I asked, yeah, were you hypnotized?
Were you just going with it?
Yeah, I was trying to ask them that too.
I was like, if you were just going with it just for the video, first off, you did a great,
job.
But second off, were you actually hypnotized?
And he would be like, no, no, no.
And I'm like, no, no, what?
Uh-huh.
What are he saying now, Gav?
Yeah, no, baby.
I'm like, what?
Are you, were you hypnotized or not?
I still have not gotten a solid answer out of them.
I'm going to just assume that he was.
Ryan, you had the craziest look in your eye, bro.
You were like staring through me.
It was like an out-of-body experience.
That's how I truly felt.
I remember the camera being there, and I just was like, I felt like you were just relaxed.
When I was editing that segment, I was finding myself relaxing when he was like saying like the breathe in.
Like most of it got cut, but he'd be like, he just hypnotized himself.
Dude, I was thinking that.
I was like, am I getting hypnotized editing this?
Or, but it was relaxing me because he was like talking about like, now it's moving up to your knees.
Oh, so nice.
Your knees have had such a hard life, man, pounding on this, walking around on this concrete.
And now it's now it's moving up to your knees.
your shoulders and you're just like kind of laying back you can post a video of that what if
everybody gets hypnotized that watches the video you imagine well when when when hypnotists do it in
front of a crowd people in the crowd get hypnotized really supposedly dude i don't know like i i do
believe in it it does seem like they all kind of have the same um routine so i wonder you know
the guy who came out was a great dude super nice and pretty normal but do these
These people, even if say that Ken and Evan weren't technically hypnotized and they
didn't, they could so control everything they were doing, but they were listening to him.
You know, he's like, all right, you're going to fake have a baby now.
And they're like, okay, I'm going to do it.
Whether it's the pressure of the situation or just because they don't want to let him down
or something like that, is that still being hypnotized?
You know, like you're listening to someone, you're just doing it.
Because they're telling you to.
So I wonder if like, I wonder the percentage of people that actually get hypnotized
to the people that just are following direction.
I don't know.
I kind of believe in like the hypnotized thing.
Maybe like I guess I think it, I think it is kind of happening.
But like Rob Deerick, he went to a hypnotist and got hypnotized for success.
Really?
At like a young age.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah.
And he talks about all the time.
And I was thinking about going and seeing that guy.
Hypnotize for success?
Yeah.
you got hypnotized for success like so what like what does that look like I don't know he just like
does some thing and and just I think tries to change your mindset or like you basically just
programs you for success supposedly and who knows if it works or not but I mean you definitely
taking a good step in the right direction getting hypnotized for success I'd do it if it was
convenient I think he's based out L.A. I think when he when the hypnotist that was here
Freddie he was talking about like everyone's been hypnotized whether you know
or not, but let's say you drive home and driving at night, you pull into your drive
and you're like, holy crap.
I do that all the time.
I don't.
I think I just blacked out for the last 20 minutes.
I don't even remember driving, right?
And he was like, well, that's, that's, you're technically in kind of a trance.
You're hypnotized in a way, but mostly like you're subconscious.
It just takes over.
I wonder when you're saying that, when you get hypnotized for success, you're just like, you're
just telling your subconscious like you will be successful you will be successful and you're
subconscious like your deep down soul is hypnotized but you come out of it and you're just like
nice i was hypnotized for success i believe in it now i believe that i'm going to be successful
and it probably didn't really change much besides for the fact of like somebody just told you and
you were like nice i trust them and now i'm good dude it almost you could sum it down to it didn't
change a thing but your attitude and your outlook on something which after having gavin here
holy shit i cj and i have said it to each other but we're like we're going to try to be more like
gab and not be more i don't want to copy him readably unique and you can't be like him but just his
his good attitude and like the energy he brings to people and like yeah he's a positive person
and he's nice to everyone and he has like no ego i don't know i just liked a lot of his a lot of traits
and I think if everyone could adapt a little bit of his traits,
whether it's, you know, being nice to people,
having a positive attitude, liking three-wheeler's,
the world would be a better place.
I think so too.
When we were working on the three-wheelers and like everything was going wrong,
I remember Gavin was sitting there and our mechanic buddy was like,
well, here's the issues and this and that and just like basically just saying
like how much of a pain in the ass it was going to be.
And Gavin was like, ha ha, yep, yep, yeah, this is going to be fun.
This is going to be fun.
And I look up at him.
This is going to be an online.
What do you like, like what's going to be a fun one?
And he goes, making this work, baby.
This is going to be a task.
And I was like, damn, that kind of fired me up right there, Gap.
That's what I mean.
That's so good.
The only thing that, and I think it's funny, I'm not mad at him for this,
but I told him explicitly multiple times because I was like, we don't, we spent two days
rigging this thing up.
We don't need to take it out and start ripping on it extremely hard right away and break it
because I want to at least get a majority of the shots covered.
So that way we have a video before it breaks or whatever.
But we can progressively ramp it up and rip it.
And you told him in the video too, but I told him so many times.
I told him a few times just off, just on my own, like.
Yeah, he was acting like he was racing you, bro.
I'm trying to keep up.
So I'm going fast.
I mean, he's going fast than that to lose me.
We were out there 10 minutes and he legitimately was going 70 mile an hour in the ditch
and we couldn't keep up in the pickup to film him.
And he was going so fast that the wind was vibrating the camera.
And I couldn't even, like it was just, and he's just out there just,
hitting bumps, tacoing the thing.
I was so worried that like a track, I was worried that the front ski was going to break
and it was going to pummel on him because he was going so fast.
I'm like, dude, you don't need to go this fast.
a mailbox or a signpost,
Gavin did,
could not remember how wide that thing was.
Like he ran my ski over.
He ran up on my track.
Like just pulling up to say hi.
Like he,
it was four feet wider than he thought.
But just,
yeah,
ripping past these mailboxes and signposts,
electrical boxes and thankfully didn't hit any.
I would compare Gavin to a dog that sees another dog
and then they like make each other get excited.
and then pretty soon they're both just like
doing zoomies around the entire house
and they're just Riley jump
they're jumping on the couch
even when they know they're not supposed to
and that's exactly what Evan and Gavin were doing
they would start going
and pretty soon Gavin would grab third
and yeah
goddamn dude and then he'd look over
and the truck is going pretty fast
but we're so fast to keep up with him
run the truck I'm like bro I'm trying to film you
you don't need to go so fast
dude I love that guy
He's a good, good kid, good kid.
All right, Ken, throw up this video.
A little backstory.
It never hit the light of day.
And sorry to bring it up on your birthday, Ken.
But when we rented the excavator to build our track,
we borrowed a ladder.
Oh, no.
Oh, my gosh.
And this ladder caused significant quarrels within the group, to say least.
We borrowed it from Ken's parents' shed because it's tall and it would work good to set up the time lapse.
Well, Ken told us, don't break that ladder.
It was my grandpa's multiple times.
Multiple times.
Well, to be clear, so I don't know who went over with me to get it in the first place.
I went because I was told to go get a tall ladder.
And was it you or was it you or was it Mike?
It could have been me, but for sake of the story, don't involve me.
So we sit here and we go to grab the noise.
normal ladder we always grab and it's sitting there and it's this aluminum really big ladder
that's very heavy and then there's a wooden one that's just a little bit shorter than it sitting
next to it and we're thinking to ourselves I'm like well they probably don't want this old like the old
wooden one probably is it won't be needed to be used in case they somehow need this one and it's
going to be lighter so I'm like well it seems like we should take the less nice one so we take
the less nice one put in the back of a truck and we bring it over to the shop can immediately
walks outside. He's like, why'd you grab that ladder? I'm like, I don't know. It's just
I told me to grab a ladder. He's like, that's my great grandpa's ladder or your great, great
grandpas. And I'm like, whoa, shit. He goes, don't break that ladder. I'm like, we'll just bring it back
right now. Let's just go and bring it back right now. We'll swap it out. And he goes, no, it's fine.
It's fine. Like, sometimes it's like, don't bring it back, but that's the wrong ladder.
I was like, what do you want me to do? He's like, it's fine. Just use it. Just don't break it.
Yeah, that was the thing. Don't break it. And I am okay.
So we bring it out to the field.
I don't know why anyone would break this ladder and to begin with.
And I tell everyone, I say, no one break this ladder.
I don't tell them the whole story.
I just figured, you know, I'm not filming.
I'm not doing anything.
I'd say, nobody break this ladder.
Don't break it.
We're under strict instructions.
Do not break this ladder.
Okay.
You know, day moves on.
Ben ends up in the excavator.
When he said that, I was not there.
Unfortunately, the excavator operator did not hear the story about to not break the ladder.
So, Ken's saying, I told you to not break this ladder.
Never told me.
Oh, wait.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm just clearing my name before it gets drank through the ladder.
I think I didn't tell you.
No, you never told me.
You never told me.
You thought I was joking.
I said, don't break the ladder.
And I think you might have not realized the seriousness.
Well, as you're laughing.
So I thought you knew because you were.
were inching towards it with all right all right carry it just i go keep on with the
story so i threw a fit about this oh just hold on well anyways hold on we got to keep going to this
we'll keep the progression of the story now ben is is in the in the excavator and he's inching close and he's
like measuring the distance that it can swing and as long as he doesn't touch one of the one of the
you know buttons that either pushes it out further or adjust the bucket it's not going to hit it
and he's got it within like a foot of this ladder and he's spinning around full speed and it's
missing the ladder by a foot. And I'm like, I think everyone's sitting here watching and we're
like, he's just messing with Ken trying to get a reaction out of him. It's so funny. And like everyone was
just silent. I just like, he seems to know what he's doing. He hopped in here and just like has
so much confidence in his operating ability. So like, who am I? I've never driven an excavator before that. I thought
you were just trying to tick him off. And like he wasn't, he wasn't getting mad and giving you the response that
he wanted to, like, stop.
So then Ben, like, stopped.
No, no, no.
I didn't know it was Ken's ladder,
so I wasn't trying to get any reaction out of him.
Well, basically, I was just,
I was literally just doing it.
I was just doing it without a care.
Because you thought it was an old shitty ladder.
Yeah, I thought it was just an old shitty ladder.
I didn't know where it came from,
but I was just up there just swinging around an excavator.
And then he stopped.
And to be fair, it was in the middle of a construction zone.
Like,
it was in the middle of Rich going with a bulldozer.
in between a bulldozer and the excavator
and the skid steer like it was in the middle
of the track being built so I was
like it's like a hundred year old
clearly this ladder doesn't mean much
100 years old he used to paint houses with it
all right okay so so then there's
like the little thing that comes out at the top
of the ladder for like a paint bucket
or a paint tray whatever you want to call it
to sit there and that's hanging
out and now Ben has like
the bucket and it's like
he's like operating it like flipping it
up and down inching like
inching within inches of it.
And he's like going past it.
Passes.
It's just like going like and he's just kind of teasing everyone.
And we're all watching in silence.
I think I recall Ryan just, just staring in disbelief.
I just, we were under such like, I thought everyone knew like, you know, like I didn't think I needed to tell you don't break Ken's 100 year old family heirloom ladder.
which also it's very odd to have a ladder
as a family.
It's just like if I would have known
your parents have old shit you just know
I don't fuck with it. Yeah exactly
it's never good to break the family stuff
even if the ladder even if Bob had
literally taken that ladder and thrown it away
the very next day it's Bob's job to break
the ladder. Not ours. I agree. I agree.
Why just survive back to school
when you can thrive by creating
a space that does it all for you no
matter the size. Whether you're taking
over your parents' basement or moving
to campus, IKEA has hundreds of design ideas and affordable options to complement any budget.
After all, you're in your small space era. It's time to own it. Shop now at IKEA.ca.
Well, that's why no one said anything because we're like, well, surely he's not going to hit the ladder.
But I was like, man, he is getting so close. He is really good at operating this thing.
And he has a lot of faith in it. Next thing I know, smack.
fucking smacks the ladder,
crushes the paint tray,
wood goes flying,
and then Ken says,
Ben!
That's my grandpa ladder!
And then I'm like,
I thought this,
it wasn't even funny.
I was just like,
Jesus, dude,
as soon as Ken goes,
that's my grandpa,
that's my 100 year old ladder,
I go,
real funny,
real funny,
he thought he was telling.
I thought Ken was telling me,
and then I thought you guys,
guys were behind it because then Ryan is Ryan storms off and CJ's standing there with the camera like down
low which the only time of cameras down low is when you're trying to hide it because it's so uncomfortable
to hold it up. I couldn't believe what I was watching. He's just like holding it real low and I'm looking at
CJ just hoping that he's going to go it's a joke. I told him I was like dude and CJ's just shaking his
head and I'm like please tell me this is a joke and Ken was mad. Understandably. Rightfully. Rightfully.
Joe and Ken Storm gets in his Bronco and he rips off at like 50 through the fastest I've ever seen that Bronco go too and I'm like in a quarter mile time out there it's just silent it's just it's just me CJ and Evan and I think Mike might have been there and I'm like please tell me you guys are fucking with me I'm like please somebody tell me this is a joke on me and then Ryan comes back you just have no fucking boundaries do you and I'm like all right
All right, this isn't a joke, is it?
I'm like, this is real.
I fucked up.
So anyway, I was watching Facebook because I do that sometimes.
Also, I want this to be clear.
I just broke the paint bucket holder, like the wood on the paint bucket holder.
The rest of the ladder is good.
His grandpa painted the Empire State Building, the mast on the top of it, and never broke the paint.
I know.
It was all the way down for you to come around with an excavator.
Yeah.
I'm just kidding.
So anyway, I was watching.
Facebook as I do sometimes
and I saw this video
that's about to play and I thought
about just sending in our group chat and going
at Ben could never do this
but then I thought it'd be funnier to talk about it
on the podcast so roll
15 seconds of the clip
oh my gosh
oh my gosh
well the brims are too big this guy's
cheating I think my friend Ben could do this
with factory hats
you want to be the test don't we
oh shit I just love
This is just some really odd
Chinese game show Guinness World Records thing
like fastest hats removed
This is dumb
These poor women are scared
Drunken labors that could do this
That is true
Operators, it's like an extension of their body
But this also just shows like
I swear to God
Chinese game shows
Are so dangerous
So dangerous
Do you guys remember the show that used to be on Spike
where they,
it wasn't even in English.
They're like,
yeah,
most extreme elimination challenge.
People just getting wrecked.
And it's all Japanese and they'll just get fucked up.
And then they go,
ah,
ha ha ha ha.
Oh my God.
That show,
and I would watch it.
I would watch it too.
Spike TV,
what happened to them?
And it's funny because the announcer goes,
right you are,
Ken,
in that.
I've been waiting for a meme to use that in.
Kenny Blanketship.
Yeah,
Kenny Blanketship.
That's right.
Oh,
that's amazing.
The fastest time to remove six caps using an excavator is 21 seconds.
We got six guys.
Let's do seven.
And we'll have Ben operated.
Dude, Uncle Rich, I think he could blow the doors off this record.
Probably.
Man, that's funny, though.
I'm glad that you brought that story up.
Just dig it up from the archives.
Thank you for that.
A buried, beef.
There was so much weight to it.
We couldn't even put in the video.
It was just so bad.
I mean, Jesus.
It was so stressful when it happened because,
usually when bad things happen my go-to reaction is to laugh it's not a good reaction
it might not be the best emotion to show but it happens every time and it was so hard
ken's like peeling out in the bronco bends i don't know everyone's fired up and i'm just giggling
i feel so terrible where's where's mike he bailed dude now mike
mike's all on the leash now he quit having fun with us and he also quit working with us
Yeah, it's like a 50-50 shot of Mike's even going to show up anymore.
Because he's either sleeping in or he left.
Where's Mike?
Mike, my co-host over here.
He had to bring in Evan.
Thankfully, Evan's doing great.
He's doing great.
On the Modellos.
I feel like Mike,
these beers coming from.
Mike off the leash in Canada is going to be unhinged.
Like he's going to snap back to somewhere even worse than he was before.
You think so?
God, we could totally just ruin Mike's entire day when he listens to this podcast and
tell the full detailed story unabridged without him here to interrupt us about that time
when he hugged that one guy that was on like PCP in the bar.
I think we should.
I think we've talked about that.
I think we have to.
You showed in the video too.
Yeah.
They like hug each other and they like grab each other's shoulders.
And it looks like they're going to kiss.
Then Jake's dick came out.
Ev, I hate to go this direction.
Oh, no.
Just kidding.
I hate to go this direction with the podcast.
which it seems like they normally do.
But the other day I heard the beginning of a story
of you getting your nuts cut open.
What?
Yeah, that happened.
And I said, tell me no more.
Tell me no more.
I got to wait until I hear from Evan on the podcast.
So I've been waiting for this moment.
What's the story?
Okay, so funny enough, actually.
This is where the pods always go.
I was in sixth grade when that happened.
That was a hell of a year.
It was a tough year.
I went deaf and blew my nuts apart.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Yes.
So when we were kids, we were up.
We had a bike jump.
We were jumping off of like a flatbed skid steer trailer over a little crick.
So it was maybe two or three feet tall.
And we were just jumping out five feet to get over this creek.
It was kind of muddy where we were landing and.
uh my buddy had my bike so i was just going to run and jump with my feet over the crick up onto the
trailer rather than off the trailer over the crick so i just came running in full bar and jumped
and uh i wasn't going to make it so i thought if i got one foot up on the trailer i could pull
myself up and that foot that got on the trailer was just covered in mud and it just slid so i basically
yeah just ran at a full sprint and just jumped did the splits
It's like a 90 degree steel edge angle.
You know like the thin metal on the back of a flatbed trailer?
Yeah, I mean just, yeah, 90 degree angle.
It's like the edge of this table.
Okay.
So right away when it happened, I got just like a normal nutshot
where you like kind of get an upset stomach.
You kind of get a hot flash, whatever.
And I just thought maybe I was okay, like walk it off or whatever.
And my upset stomach wasn't going away after.
after a few minutes, so I'm like, wow, I'm just going to go to the bathroom.
I might need to take a poop.
Maybe that'll make my stomach feel better.
Even at six years old, this dude.
No, six grade.
That was like 13 for 12 or however old you are then.
So I, and then, you know, but evaluate myself mainly.
I just was going to go do it in private and go get in the bathroom and a relevant part of
the story by walking the bathroom and the toilet just happens to be flooded to the room.
And it's like, not what I need, but it's just, that doesn't matter.
Did you, did she was in there an hour before?
No, that was somebody else.
It wasn't be, go in their toes, it's already blown out, whatever.
I knew they should come back to bite me in the ass.
So just try to ignore that.
Start, as soon as I start to pull my pants down, or my underwear down, I noticed there is blood.
There's a mass of blood.
Sorry.
So I'm like, oh, my God.
And like, this is what I'm talking about, British Columbia.
All right.
Sorry, sorry.
No, no.
So I know there's blood everywhere.
So, like, basically just kind of grab my sack and start, like, starting to look down.
And there's like a little scratch or a scuff on top, a little blood.
Yeah, it was just like a little abrasion.
I don't really know what it was from.
But I'm like, oh, this is.
This is manageable, right?
All right.
And then I hate to cut you off.
Yeah.
But it's just getting a little too detailed knowing that you're like 16 or 13 years old.
For the sake of the story, Evan is now 18 years old.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I was 20 years.
Anyway, so, but either way, I thought I found where the blood was coming from pretty real quick.
No big deal.
Actually, like, was just going to rock with it.
And then something just didn't feel right.
And I just like stuck my hand down further.
And I just felt like an open wound, which turned out to be like six stitches, I believe.
But yeah, and then I checked again, found out that it was bad, had to like go tell my parents.
So we're at kind of like a barbecue with a bunch of family friends and stuff.
And I like pulled my dad aside.
I was like, hey, look at this.
I think it's bad.
She's like, oh my God.
Get your mother.
You're going to the hospital.
Dad, I blew my balls out.
But I think they're fine.
I think everything works like they're supposed to now.
Dude, honestly, almost the most pain, though,
was I waited too long to get the stitches out.
So there was a couple that were kind of grown in.
And I could just, the doctor with the tweezers,
he's pulling on that stitch.
It's just stretching.
You got your legs out.
Before it finally like snaps out.
Like, it's just.
Okay, it's a sack.
Yeah, just stretching by saying.
It was like, if you.
We were just plucking a pew boat, but then it's like ultra attached.
It's just stretched from here to here.
But it's a zip tie.
You're fucking way out.
So this might be too graphic.
I don't know.
But was like the slice bad enough where like a nut could have just fallen out?
Nah.
See, that's what's weird.
I think there might be like layers.
Layers of stuff.
And honestly, I think it might have been a tear.
Oh.
Like one ball went both ways.
Oh.
potentially.
I don't know.
I don't honestly know.
Because, I mean, could you get truly cut?
It's not that sharp of an edge.
It's like, threw my jeans and all my clothes.
I kind of think it was a tear.
Yeah.
But that doesn't make it sound any less painful, to be honest.
That was painful.
I can't imagine if Ken would have suffered that trauma.
Dude, he's got a big target.
We've never seen this type of blood loss.
I mean, it's a huge.
he's way more probable for a nutshot he's at way or higher risk can it be a good boxer
because they hit him anywhere below like below the waist that's why they always hike their
waistbands up over their belly buttons right you can't punch him below the waist
cover maybe if they're not in shape i don't know jake paul's fighting tommy fury now i guess
no i don't think he is oh they backed out again i'm pretty sure he backed out again holy shit that
guy needs to just not ever
even talk to
about it again. Yeah, I'm
I'm pretty sure. Maybe there's no
fucking way. No, I'm pretty sure he backed out
again. No, he's going
I haven't heard anything about it.
Tommy Fury refuses to attend
face off.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but who's
Tommy Fury? Professional fighter.
So Tyson Fury is like the heavyweight
champion of the world, one of the greatest
heavy weights to fight. Boxing? Yes. And his
younger brother is Tommy Fury who is kind of like this Instagram model he was on like a love show
really yeah yeah and uh he supposedly is a professional boxer but it's tough because a lot of like
like he's kind of in the stage where he hasn't really fought anyone significant so it's like
prove himself he's like he's like undefeated but he's just fought a bunch of but Tommy and Jake
have been supposed to fight what like three times is the third time they've been supposed to fight
but he keeps backing out
they call him Tommy fumbles
Ken just
because he fumbles the bag
just look up
is Jake Paul
Oh it says canceled
No fucking shit
No no no I think that was the last one
That was just saying the press conference
In Saudi Arabia
No no look
No up top
On the about
Jake Paul versus Tommy fear bill
There's a truth
Is an upcoming
I feel like Jake Paul
would be post on the show
The bout is scheduled to take place
26 to February
In Saudi Arabia
Date canceled
Damn no one even knows
if it's happening.
We don't even know.
I hope it is, because I'd love to see that.
I like watching Jake Paul fight.
Oh, yeah, it is not.
And the Google notice is a mistake.
I've moved out of my house.
I'm living in a little apartment.
I've gone back to the dog mindset.
I thought Tommy canceled because, like,
his girlfriend is pregnant
and she was supposed to have a baby like any day.
Well, Ben, I'm looking at Tommy Furious profile,
and why the freak is Greta liking all his pictures?
Shut up.
Dead ass.
dude.
What?
Why is grad I liked this picture?
That's a good question.
What got going on over here?
Tommy Fury fan.
She's like two now.
What?
Would you fight him?
I might have to.
He might fumble a bag there.
I don't know how much of a bag there'd be, but he might back out.
You might just do it for sport on that one.
You guys scrap in the roadhouse parking lot?
The biggest pay-per-view event of the 20-23.
Of the Corm Ront Times.
Holy shit.
It's advertised in the paper and shit.
We'd have it in over at Cormon.
on square just like
the wrestling
fake wrestling
would you guys hop in the ring
the box? Yeah
no it probably wouldn't be a good idea for you but would
you have? Yeah it's all
fun in games though until you get punched right
square in the nose yeah everyone's got to play
everyone's got to play until they get punched in the face
I can get hit in the side of the head all over
the place it's fine you get bobs square in the nose
and socks your eyes there
watering I don't want to do this anymore
you're like a shark if it was like a very significant amount of money i think you'd have to though you know
like even i would have to i don't know what that number would be but well yeah obviously it's like
you got a wouldn't you you have to might try to fight depends how hard they can hit you know uh did you guys
see in the paper someone must have listened to only just a fraction of this podcast and heard the
story of talking of us talking about buying tools and more but they didn't even listen like a local
sorry tools and more is a large warehouse in a town over that's been changed hands a million times
but they didn't even listen far enough for us to say no we'd never buy that place and it was in
the paper said see boys to buy tools and more we were like a headline front page news yeah i did see
that and and i was not going to turn down that rumor because i thought it was really funny we should
start more rumors. What's another good one? We can start up. We are going to open, what's just
something really? Open a bar. It's always about drinking with you, Ken, isn't it? It's always about
drinking. Ken, there's no way that people would believe that. We're going to open a horse breeding
center. Evan is a, Evan actually, a lot of people don't know this. He's a studied, a
equestrian. I thought you were going a different direction with that. I thought you were going to
Interaction so did everyone listen
You sick box
Well you didn't let me finish
No just kidding
Evan's actually an equine expert
And we're opening up a horse stable
We're gonna breed championship race horses
I am the size of a proper lawn jockey
I could ride those horses around the track
I guarantee you could
Can we get into horse race?
I thought he's going somewhere else
Let's do this
I guarantee you Evan could
I'll drop off 50 pounds.
I'm a perfect horse jockey.
Have you ever been able to hang on just on?
Have you ridden a horse?
Fuck, no.
Really?
You've never rid of a horse?
Why would I ride a horse?
Unless I got to actually race around the oval,
what do you normally get to do?
He'd probably go ride around a pasture?
You think he's going trail riding?
No, he's going racing when it comes from horses.
Do you think we, is that like a thing that you could do for sport?
Ride horses?
I think you have to buy a horse and a barn and a farm.
We need to get to get a horse.
Evan on a really fast horse and then like I don't know what the uh what the dangerous dude yeah
Evan Evan's good holding on it is dude yeah yeah definitely here's a palmer if you get trampled by
one of those they also run hell of fast ain't faster than any four 50 that's for sure I know but
but I mean like the horse is like you get really fucked up it would be pretty funny though send
Evan off like a bad uh cowboy in the west you tie him up on the horse and he smacked the horse's
butt and send them off into the sunset.
Oh my gosh.
Wait, until you slap the horse in the butt, it kicks you?
So they would tie them up on the horse and then just slap its ass and let it run off.
How do they keep them on it?
They just tie them.
I think it put it maybe on like a wild Mustang or something.
I think you're like hog tied to the horse.
I don't think you want to be there, do you?
As in like, like, how do you get the horse back or what's your question?
Well, I'm wondering how they tie them to the horse.
I think you lose.
I think you lose the horse.
You may be sent him on his own horse.
I understand.
Is this a punishment?
Are you sending them out as a punishment, right?
Yeah, it's like you get, you get stuck out of town,
and I'm wondering how they strap you to the horse
because it's pretty hard to like, hang on.
Can you imagine you're willingly trying to?
They tie you to a horse?
I'm probably used to do that back in the day, dude.
Back in Richard ran this town, dude.
They do like the freaking horse tie where they tie your arms and your legs
and lynch you.
Yeah, there was so few people here.
They only had four horses.
So they did it to one guy.
And then they were like,
we're out of horses.
I can't afford to do that to everyone.
Yeah, maybe it's just my lack of ability to properly ride a horse,
but I hate,
I hate horse.
They're scary.
Because I don't trust them and I definitely don't trust myself.
You're up really hard to do in a case of like a horse going rogue.
Like that would be like good.
Yeah, you're on that man for the ride.
I'm along for the ride.
Maybe this horse is just like a little rebel piece of shit.
And it's just like, it's like, they'll do that.
And maybe the horse thought the same.
Same about you.
That's the thing is maybe he did.
And now I'm riding this massive horse that does not care how many and how many times
I kick it side or whatever the hell you do.
I think both those things make the horse go faster.
That's the problem.
You're supposed to pull up and say, whoa, whoa.
But, but yeah, no, that's why I said it is sketchy in its own way because you could have a fast
ass horse and they don't want to listen and you're along for the ride unless you want to bail.
And it's like bailing off that horse at 40 mile an hour.
It's no different than like the three-wheeler and half the other stuff I ride.
I know.
But I'm not saying you're somewhat in control, I guess.
Am I though?
Well, we did that.
We've done horse riding, but it is, I thought it was fun.
Rodeo round two?
Ryan's done some, the bull riding.
The bull was scary.
Dude, Ryan, I still can't believe you rode a bull, bro.
That was wild.
I'm very glad I got that out of the way.
It's a badass thing to do.
It's debatably one of the most badass things you can do.
It's just really a bummer.
Next to, like, UFC fight, box, ride a bowl, I'd say they're all up there.
If you ride a PBR bowl, Papp's Blue Ribbon.
That's fucking crazy.
It is a bummer, too, because some people are like, well, let me see your run.
Oh, I ride on weekends and sometimes.
And I'm like, I, it fell over instantly.
Yeah, but you wrote it down to the ground, bro.
Yeah, Ryan, he wrote it down to the ground.
He shoved its face in the dirt and everything.
That was, yeah, that.
That was wild, bro.
I was so anxious, like, for you.
Yeah, it was awful.
We showed up there.
And then it was like, it's kind of one of those things you don't want to get iced.
Like when you're about to hit a big jump or something like that, you're like, I don't want to get here, do it.
Leave or not leave, but be dumb with the thing you're nervous about.
And we stood around for like three hours.
And then the guy before me, the first or the last person to go before me who like does it for fun and sport goes and held on a little.
too long and then went from the back of the bull to the head and then like knocked himself out
broke his collarbone all that got like really messed up and then everybody came on and was like
listen you don't have to do this and i was like fuck you're trying to hype yourself up to do it and
they're like man you really don't you really shouldn't do this oh yeah the worst yeah uh man i i i
don't fully understand the the mentality of the guys that go out and just do it for fun on the
weekends that i mean talk about a hell of an adrenaline rush but dude i grew up in a way though
those dudes clearly are just they're just built different i think it's confidence in yourself that
you're not going to get hurt that you and this animal can duel it out and you're like the way that
i come off is going to be okay like dude our buddy blaine rides bucking horses which are arguably
even more nasty honestly he's just like yeah no it's between you and the animal you know yeah i guess
you spend enough time
on the seat
perfecting your craft
you're probably
a little bit more confident
going into it
but just as like a first timer
especially watching it
dude is so gnarly
yeah if you guys
if you guys haven't seen it
you got to go and watch
you uh bull riding
at least once
and you'll have a whole new respect
for it because it's cool
as soon as you get
as soon as you see how big they are
you're like oh this isn't
this isn't a joke
and like you said I couldn't imagine
riding like a real competition
yeah like they basically
like grab some bowl
out of the field. And that's the one that
I wrote. It was tiny compared to those
beasts. All right.
So what time do you guys
leave for British Columbia?
Like fly out at 9 tomorrow
morning? 9 a.m. Do we have to get to the airport
early? Is Kenjamin bringing you? I can either
bring you or you can leave a truck there.
It doesn't matter. I do need a pickup here this week.
What?
I'm going to take pens. Yeah, why?
What? What?
Oh, I just one.
Oh. What do you plan?
What's your guys? Now my guard's up.
You're going to be there for six days, probably snowmobile.
Six days of snowmills.
I don't know.
Well, it is a bum where we lose two days of travel, basically.
We're going to Revelstoke, British Columbia, which we went to, what was it already, like, four years ago?
Yeah, 2019.
Yeah, four years ago.
Yeah, it's going to be a really good time.
I'm excited to go to.
I wish the rest of the boys could have came.
You were trying to come, but your passport didn't come.
Yeah, I wanted to come so bad, just because it just would have been fun.
It sounds like a pretty good time.
You guys are talking up the bars and all that.
It is.
The snowmilling in Revelstoke is like the best in the world.
What makes it better?
Really good snow, really good terrain, and you're not that high.
You're riding at like 3,000, 4,000 feet.
And usually you're riding at like 10,000 feet.
So like you can actually breathe.
You can actually like breathe.
Thank God.
This is the best news I've had.
Ev, you're going to have to tone back on the vape man
for at least the next, let your lungs breathe a little bit.
I'm going to be good here, but when we were in Idaho, I thought I was going to die.
You considered quitting there?
Quitting my life, not the vase.
Going down with it.
So just the snowmueling's better, huh?
Yeah, and then, like, when you get up on the top of the mountain, you look around
and there's just, like, massive mountains everywhere, and usually when you're out west,
like, you get to the top of the mountain, and, like, you're kind of up top,
and then you're kind of looking down on everything else out there.
It's just like huge country everywhere.
Yeah.
It's just like a whole new world.
You guys are going to link up with Brett Turcott?
I think so.
Yeah, I think we're going to meet Brett up there
and hopefully a couple other guys that are kind of local to the area
and are just like ridiculously gnarly.
That'd be sweet.
We got to get Brett to do a backflip.
That would be so sick.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know what that consists of if it's like snow conditions or we just have to take the time
to like build a booter.
Probably a big one.
But that'd be so sick to see a dude hucka.
back country backflip that would be badass can and i mean we're lucky enough we get to fly up
there we still have to drive like six hours ken you got us first class right first class was not
available back of the plane if it was he wouldn't have put us he definitely wouldn't put any
he's still he's still thinking about that even in a economy class your tickets were your tickets were
still 1200 dollars a piece yes christ maybe we should have sent evan up in the truck crapes
fuck no dude doing a 24 hour drive alone i'm gonna need slim i'm gonna need slim for this one it adds if we leave
right now we can probably pick them up at calgary tomorrow some of these canadian roads being so
shitty too they are shitty i i don't know what they do up there if it's like uh the queen spends all
the money back home in europe or something like that but the roads are fucked i don't even know how
you guys drive up there.
It's not a priority, probably.
I think.
Yeah, the queen owns everything, dude.
I think there's a prime minister.
Hold up now.
The queen is dead too.
Justin Trudeau.
Well, there's another one that came back, right?
The king.
Oh, now it's a king?
Is he the prime minister or the king?
Wait, they owned Canada, though?
No, I thought Canada was independent.
No, that was a thing.
We went through the whole war to, you know, no taxation without representation.
I thought Canada was French.
so dumb being that we are only
I mean we are on the
northern half of the United States
I mean most northern hours away from Canada
we're a couple hours away from Canada we're not Canadian
the prime minister two hours
I know that they have a prime minister
Justin Trudeau
that's basically their president that's their president yeah
he makes all the decisions so yeah but hold
up what you are you saying
that England
owns Canada
I'm not really sure
but what are you saying here but I
I do
know when ken and i booked the tickets there was some weird thing that evan wasn't able to get in
or something there was something back with his id so he was going to have to finger blast the queen
but now that she died is he going to have to jerk jerk off the king probably no it'd be the
prince wouldn't it oh no no it's the king now oh how old is he it doesn't matter
he'll do it how old he'll do it the king is 74 charles
You're always into some older ones
That's pretty crazy thought
Like you don't even really have to be
You don't have to earn it over there
You can just be born into it
Be a total idiot
And you're like, eh, doesn't matter
It is pretty messed up
It is pretty fucked
I wouldn't like that
I'm glad we live where we do
Honestly
Or at least it's like
You know
A democracy
And you have a chance or a choice
Or the illusion of it
Yeah
I was just kidding
Do we though
I know
Yeah
But still somewhere
of it yeah king and queen seems so like medieval archaic like it's just so old like the fact that
anyone still runs that in whatever country or in especially one that's like pretty developed
I mean extremely developed but also I'm probably wrong so don't crucify me because I said that
the two percent of Europe listeners are like what the fuck I don't know that was not a European
oh no I wasn't trying to oh then what was that I don't know
It's getting late.
You know, guys, it's been fun.
And it's been real.
I hope you get back in from Canada so we can run another one of these.
Yeah, maybe we should wait.
We'll wait to drop this one until after we get back from Canada so we don't get stranded up there.
Like they don't let us back into the United States?
They might look you up and down.
I mean, if I was a guy that was making a decision, I wouldn't, I suppose they'd probably want you out of their country.
They'll probably push you back in.
No, it's, well, actually.
Do you remember last time?
Yeah, last time we got into Canada.
or trying to get into Canada.
It was kind of a process.
It's because I think I know why.
It's because I was driving and then Jake kept doing all the talking from the back.
And I think they thought there was something really weird going on.
And then they pulled us aside and we had to explain this whole reason why we're going up there.
And it's like kind of a gray area being that we're filming.
So we're like there for business.
Yeah, they don't like that.
They don't like that.
They want you pay the taxes on it.
And I'm like, no, we're just going for fun.
And they're like, they checked all of our luggage, all the stuff.
It was really weird.
Like we were drug smugglers or human trafficking.
Have you better be careful
Don't have your vape stash
They don't let they don't allow
Vapes in Canada you know that right
Yeah you're gonna have to start smoking cigarettes like a man
Oh no for this trip
That no
They pulled it didn't go
They pull us aside
He's got a passport
He said fuck that
They pull us aside
They're like oh these stupid Americans
They must not have heard about the future
Robots are coming
There will be no robots coming anywhere
