You look like a guy I could never trust. When you're a part of a cutting-edge extreme sport, you can't worry about what other people think. You buy a Lambo, you attract a bunch of dudes. You're not attracting women with your Lamborgh. Honestly, you guys need to get on my sleep program. 12-fisted T's Air Puts in, sleep-toe morning. I mean, 1996, that's the big part of what your outfit you're wearing.

I think this is more 2001 than 96. That's 1996. 99 actually. That's what I would say. I'm still claiming O-1. You two look like kids that my mom would say don't hang out with them. They're bad news. And she'd actually be right. That's why you stayed home today, Ryan.

Yeah. What the heck did you two do? Honestly, we caused a little chaos in downtown Bradenton. Well, I finally got a chance to give Evan those shoes today. And Bradenton, because we were like, what better thing to do today than try to, I don't even know what to call it. Learn a new sport. Yeah. Soaping?

Soaping. We just started calling it. it's soaping. I just want to get out there and soap. Because the original grind shoes were just called so soaping, whatever. Now, these are a different brand Mike? They win extinct but came back just recently.

I think if I would have had a skateboard at the park, it would have been a good time. This was even more fun than that. I mean, these were much more friendly to a beginner. You guys are just as good as any pro now, and it took you literally an hour. And you were grinding everything. think it's misleading that these are just shoes so it's like oh you're just wearing shoes it's still like kind of dangerous like you're on a for for sure with the stairs and for sure i mean you could

really risk it all i think it's a slept on sport like everyone thinks skateboarding's dangerous but i think these things are about maybe more dangerous because of the false confidence you can just jump on something big and get wrecked just as hard like hold them up one more time i guess so for the viewers that are wondering what exactly they're talking about about these are shoes that have plastic pieces in the middle and uh mike showed the podcast what two podcasts ago a couple ago yeah he had bought them for evan and uh surprised him with them today the boys went absolutely hard you guys might have been two of the only three people in the world wearing soap shoes today i think they're going to make a comeback over the next year i think we're in the video

some tic-tok some instagram reels there's there's going to be these shoes we should have worked a deal out with them before we set the video live because I'm feeling a lot of kids are going to want to wear them. The best part too was like going into Zumi's getting these crazy outfits like the Y2K vibes baggy pants. They're like making their way

back in and it just felt right. We just we got some crazy outfits and Evan looks arguably better than I apparently I just look normal which is obviously well you just wear a shirt like that yeah the shirt like everything like everyone's like you just stand

Everything Mike put on, we were trying to make him look funny. But we're like, this looks like your normal outfit. That's a compliment, dude. You can pull off a lot of stuff, I guess. It was, it was like, no, it was a, it was like, no, I think it's what we call a backhanded compliment, because I was like, come on, somebody tell me I look good. Everyone's just like, eh, you look normal. Juicy J vibes right there.

I never thought I'd be wearing an Ed Hardy hat, and I still don't know if I like it, but what is this? Got a giant embroidered. tiger on it you look like a guy i could never trust like you would do some kind of shady business deal with me wearing a hat like that you guys know like you got a get rich quick scheme dressed like that cj's like i'm like i see what you're trying to do here but you're just trying to get stuff that you want to wear and we're kind of we're dressing you today so well it looks like cj got something he wanted to wear yeah i forgot about that i did buy this my own money

those guys got the company card on their outfits well yeah we're not going to just buy you a shirt because you're obsessed with sexy red. That's not how things work around here. True, dude, I'm blessed. Like, this guy is so obsessed with sexy red. We were walking by this store and just had a bunch of different t-shirts that had these graphics on them.

And he obviously spotted out sexy red like he sniffed it out like a... No, I went in the store because you went in, Ben. And I was like, okay, let's fucking stop in here for a second. And then I saw the sexy red shirt. And next thing you know, I'm at the register getting one. Yeah, I mean, I just love sexy red. I think she is a lyrical genius, the lyrical genius of our generation.

That's what sexy red does to him, man. Just because Ben goes in to buy a bootleg, Minnesota Viking shirt, didn't mean you had to buy a sexy red shirt. No, it didn't, but I wanted to, Evan. What's what I mean? You wanted it. You kind of tried to blame it on Ben, but you wanted it. Ben presented me with the opportunity.

I wouldn't even step foot in that store. But then when I saw the sexy red shirt, I was like, holy shit, like I need this. obviously i'm probably going to be wearing it for the next i mean seven days yeah you're not taking that thing off i'm pretty proud of it honestly us three walking around i mean you guys grinding all your things and then me filming it and we're out in like downtown like public public like a public you got them but then you got me with the camera everyone's got to be thinking what a motley crew yeah like what a bunch of that's a good name for a man what a motley crew yeah no Ryan, you are so lucky that you were not with today.

You would have absolutely hated it. You would have hated it so much. Why? Because I'm uncoordinated. No, because you hate when we are embarrassing out in public. And today was the epitome of embarrassment in public. Wait, who is embarrassed? I mean, I wasn't embarrassed. I mean, I wasn't that embarrassed either.

But like, you had a lot of eyes on you of people like, what the fuck are these people doing? Like, from just your outfit to filming to the way we were acting. And then these guys absolutely vandalizing the public... Soaping's not a crime. When you're a part of a cutting edge extreme sport, you can't worry about what other people think. No, I was low-key actually kind of hoping the cops would come. And then we'd have like a, you know, they'd be like, listen, like, skateboard's only here. No soaping.

It's illegal to be this cool. Sooping is not a crime. We could have sold those shirts. It would have been great. Well, we were trying to... It was coming back. I think you guys might be at the forefront. We were in some risque positions,

and I thought you guys were for sure going to get jammed up in some way. Well, most people just looked at you like you were just running around. Dude, it's Florida. I think they were thinking, what are these two full-growing-ass men dressed like complete clowns

doing, hopping around on all these benches and stuff? Like, they just run up, hop on the bench, hop off, go hop on like a little block of cement for a second. We pull up to a spot, hop out of the suburban, and hit and run it. And we're like, obviously. The hit and runs were my favor. We just pull up, hop out, catch a quick grind, get back in the rig and go. That's when people were really caught off guard because they got like a little worried with the way we like,

we hop out. Everyone's piling out of this like suburban. They're like, what the fuck's on on? The sexy red on the speakers. Two people started like hop around. We were rolling around listen to sexy red on. We were trying to get amped up. and then everyone's rolling up the windows and locking the doors like whoa whoa we're just trying to grind the rail

or like you're like eating at a restaurant outside on like the kind of like the outside part of it and then these people just come sprinting by you hopping on the rails and shit none of the stuff we were doing was cool to anyone but so they're probably like are they paying this guy now I'm confused because I just heard the last eight minutes have been how cool this whole thing I thought it was it was cool it was cool I don't even know what Mike's talking about I agree we shredded today Mike Maybe this is all getting cut. We're going to have to watch this back. Yeah, what else we got? We've been talking about these shoes for 40 minutes. Well, what else do we got? I mean, dude, we're in Florida.

We've been traveling. The last podcast was insane. We were just with Cletus again this week. And he let us come down to the Freedom Factory. And we brought the mini truck, the red mini truck. You know what I want to say is Cletus? This is like the first time I've got to actually spend some, you know, a little bit of time with him and get to know him.

He is such a genuine, good person. Dude is the best. But also so smart and I'm not surprised one bit, but it was just really cool to get to sit down, talk with him, and get to know him. So big shout to Cletus, not that he needs it, but just for having us out. It's always nice or interesting to see, like, what these people are like.

And, you know, we talked about it a little bit last podcast when we were actually with these guys. just like the coolest part is just figuring out what they're like when like the veil is off and you hope that they are as genuine or is entertaining or just like what makes them special because a lot of times it's just a facade and with the guys that we were with last weekend that's not a show there's a reason that they're that successful but yeah cletus dude is the absolute best what you see is what you get with them i love florida feels good to be back down here i did feel a little cooped up in the house today because I had to edit this podcast for the previous

one but I was sitting here and after my big win sports betting last night that was legit I put in another bet for the Super Bowl of course he did he's hooked keep in mind the bet that Ryan's talking about he got that hundred free dollars to do it and you made big win on that I did a four leg parley at a hundred dollars because you get a hundred dollar free bet and I won $650. So you made $750 out of thin air? Pretty much, yeah. Did you put it all in the line for the Super Bowl?

No, I didn't. I put 20 down on a 17-leg parlay that if I win, it gives me $1,700. Oh, wow. There's no chance, but if I hit, it'd be legendary. What'd you do with the rest? I'd saved it. Put it into a 401K, got some in stock,

some in bonds, picked up some silver. Yeah, Uncle Buck would recommend that. You're not speaking Evans language. I would have put it on Red 18. I went to the bar and bought everybody a drink. No, that's a bad investment. I've never understood that one. Buying the whole bar around?

These people might be great, but at least you get some street cred then. Have you ever done it? Never more than like 10 people. You know, even eight people, six bucks a drink. You know, it seems innocent. You're just like, crapes, did I really need to do that? I don't even know these people. Yeah.

So, like, what's the point? So back when we first started the channel, well, a couple of years in maybe, we were doing like these gifts where like the crew would surprise somebody with like a gift. We didn't really know what to get CJ. And his idea was what if we just spent like however much you guys were going to spend on me and we just went to the bar and we had like an open tab. Really? Until we spent my bar tab. Remember that? I don't know if it was that way.

I thought, I think I was thinking like we would just go there, not necessarily my job. gift, but we'd just go there and like pay the bar and be like, yo, we're going to do an open tab, but, you know, I was maybe just trying to get like the streak right at the time. Yeah, maybe. Like, four grand. I don't think that would probably go that far if the bar was like that busy. I'm pretty

sure, yeah, I'm pretty sure it would have cost more than I was expecting at the time. That just made me think of that. Ben gets a dirt bike. CJ just gets one night at the bar. Just a superstar. What is? You're like a single college kid or college age kid. And you would be,

dude you know i would have been a fucking superstar what is street cred even worth nothing i mean especially around that question wearing that outfit right now you look like that's what you try to pay for things in because you don't have real money first first and foremost the company you own bought me this outfit second cash broke street cred rich Do you even care what a bunch of old people at the bar think? Or maybe it's young people? No, you'd have been like a college bar. Listen, I don't agree with my thought process then.

But I was just trying to think of a video idea that also integrated into like our actual life. Yeah. And made us cooler. Don't get me wrong. I like an open bar time. It would have been a bad video. That's why we didn't do it. It would apply to like one of those things that you say often because usually you can put a price on it.

But street cred can't put a price on that. But if you up your street cred based on an open bar tab that costs you $4,000, you can put a price on. You'd be pretty popular within that group of people. Yeah, for like 12 minutes. You buy somebody a drink and it lasts for about as long as that drink. And as soon as it's gone. Most people don't even care. They're just like, what a fucking idiot.

They just bought me a drink. Yeah, pretty much. Like, thanks. So what I do have to say is one time I was at a local college bar and this murmur started to flow through the crowd that there was an open bar tag. there was an open bar tab. And I was like, really, let's go check this out. And you walk up there and I go, hey, I'll take two drinks. And they go, okay, it's an open tab.

And I go, just kidding. I'll have six beers. And then you just act like a rock star off this guy's tab. So everybody's carrying around a bunch of drinks and the bar was crazy. But I don't remember who the guy was. But I do remember that he made the bar an open tab that night. It sounds pretty suspicious. Yeah, I think the rumor was that like that night that the guy, of course,

it probably wasn't true that the guy came into some oil money which sounds really dumb so I would assume that he probably stole a credit card and was just like I'm going to buy the bar on it. He wanted to oil you up. All right so anyway So we also went and made a little pit stop

and met up with the boosted boys they had a 2000 Honda Odyssey the ultimate sleeper. The outside does not look special in any way. It looks like a salvage title Honda Odyssey. It has a Tesla plaid drive train,

like the screens, everything in it, and it's fucking fast. Way to model like X or S? I think it's actually the car. It doesn't matter. It was the S so that it could do donuts. You could do donuts with it.

Ken? You should have seen Ken. This dude was waistbanding it. Like, I mean, he was walking, trying to fucking tuck his boner down. He was, let me see the son. And we got him a little ride-along in it, did some donuts.

It was impressive. Honestly, it was very cool. I wish we could have taken it to the streets and just blown the doors off. A couple, like, maybe like a Mustang or even like a C-8 Corvette or someone who thinks they're fast that spent, you know, 100 grand on their vehicle. And then this fucking minivan blows the doors off. And you go home after that. Like, what the fuck? Yeah, like, it was arguably the best sleeper out there.

100% the best liberate. You don't even hear it coming up. That's true. It'd be one thing if you had a souped up LSX in it, you would hear that thing rumbling up to the line. You'd look at it, you go, okay, well, obviously that's a, this guy's got something going on. But it's so, I mean, it's silent.

So you don't, you don't think anything of it. And then he blows the doors off. And when you see a Tesla, you expect it to be quiet, but the van, I mean, it was just a rocket ship. Did they turn off that stupid do, do, do, do. Yeah, I didn't have that. I think that minivan is like the epitome of what those guys are all about. It doesn't matter what the vehicle is or what it looks like.

As long as it is so stupid fast, so stupid fast, nothing else matters. Yeah, I mean, even their jet boat was faster than everyone else's. But that's something I think that comes with the territory when your name is boosted boys. Yeah. There's just something to be said about building all the power. all the drive train and then not caring about how the paint looks and how the interior looks, whether it's gutted or whatever. I want it to be fast and look cool.

Yeah, I guess same. Mike's drift cars built different, dude. In a fast way. It's built to look cool, but also not be fast. Or run. You're like running the polar opposite of them. Well, yeah, I guess what I'm saying is like, so, yeah, like it looks kind of bad.

Yeah, like it looks cool. And then I pulled up to the drift track the one day and they were like, dang, you got like a pretty much a full interior. That's insane. And I was like, this interior looks good to you guys because it looked like shit to me. But I just wasn't versed in having all the power and no looks. I would say I'm very refreshed after this trip because you guys, or we've all seen some gnarly cars. And I feel like I've been more of a performance over looks kind of guy. And yeah, you guys are on board with race cars now.

Like, oh, it doesn't really matter what it looks like as long as it's fast as crap. And I think that's how I've always thought. There's more fun to be had. There's way more fun because keep in mind, it's like the whole you buy a Lambo, you attract a bunch of dudes. You're not attracting women. I think that the Lamborghini attracts the most women,

I will say. Dude, a Rangerover attracts more women than the Lamborghini. I could pick up more ladies than a Ford Ranger than Benckoning. Well, I'm not saying that you could. Yeah, that's very true. I do not argue that one bit. I'm just saying like, Get in the back.

I've seen girls, you know, want to ride in Ben's Lamborghini. A lot of girls. I've been always like, no, no, I'm good. Like, I got to go. No. You always say no. I'm just defending you. Because he doesn't drive it.

I guess what I'm saying, though, is that you're always going to... You don't want to chip the paint because it's too nice. I just drove it on a fucking lake. I literally just drove it on frozen water. He makes a very valid point there. That was a pretty extreme. It was a deal. With all those...

I'm actually amazed one didn't come out. Me too. Fuck to go right through the motor. Yeah, that was. Wow. Yeah, there was a lot on the line. There was a lot on the line. At the time when you were doing it, I don't even mean this as like, I didn't think it was

badass. It was just like normal to me. We were just more so like, I just hope nothing breaks on the car, but we weren't that like. You're just excited. Like anything. I think we're so jaded at this point. Like we knew what was at stake, but we didn't realize.

The day that we finished, we got. got back to the shop. I told Ben that. Instead of all the car stuff we've done, this one was gnarly. The ice was safe, but it wasn't that thick. It was like it's not consistent. You know, there was good ice where we checked, but you never know at this time of the year. It's a Lamborghini. There's a thousand screws in the tires that could come out. I don't know. I think it was pretty gnarly. There was a lot on the line for that one. For sure. Yeah, that meant a lot when Evan said that because it could have gone one of two ways. It could have been like that compliment or been like yeah that was cheetah as fuck you know and i just seriously never know where this guy's

going i never know if i were to have guessed what evan was going to say about that he's like yeah i mean you just you fucking took the car out on the lake and you drove it around a little bit no he actually ripped it though that was that that was a big thing he drove it up and down kind of fast that's how you would have said it he ripped it i'll give it to ben that was a good one why are you so opinionated and i feel like this just happened in the last like six months where you just really ramped it up. I feel like everyone should be opinionated. I don't disagree with that.

What's the point of being wishy-washy? I don't disagree. Pick one side or the other and stick with it. I'm on this side and then I'll defend that side. It's not always like needs to be an argument. It'll just be like, I'm on this side and I'll toss out my few reasons why I feel that way. I know.

I know. I do agree. I would say that I'm opinionated too. There's not many things that I guess I don't feel like I have an opinion on. but I feel like you've really ramped it up in the last six months where like if I get caught eating the wrong cereal around you I'm going to hear about it like are you just going through a phase of rebel I think it's kind of like that because the vibe I was getting like I this is

I hate to use this as an example because you really don't strike me and you never have strike me as a person who would listen to Greta Van Fleet and you said everyone I hate Greta Van Fleet I know it is and I and I verbatim have gotten I'll just I'll just out you on this You're like, yeah, I just feel like I haven't given him a shot or anything But like I've just hated on them for so long

That I would be like I couldn't do it to myself to turn back So I just never even tried thought about it That's like looking at an ugly girl And being like I didn't really date her for a bit And give her a shot I already know it sucks Sure, but is everyone talking about this ugly girl around you

That's the biggest thing You're like I've been against them Not a fan for so long that I got to stick to my guns I appreciate, but that's just being rebellious versus opinionated. Shit, dude. You know, like, there's a few things that you're so opinionated on, and then there's some things that you're just like, ah, dude, I've had this opinion for so long.

I just kind of got to stick to my guns. And I'm like, for what reason? You're like, I don't know. Dude, I had to stand by the fire and listen to you and Jake play Greta Van Fleet for an hour. Hate it every second of it. I don't know. Maybe a bad example, but I remember you saying that about, like,

you're like, I just kind of that way. Sometimes, like, you know, something everyone loves, and I just, I don't know, I'm not really against it, but like. Well, yeah, I'm happy that you like them. I'm not mad at you for liking them, if that's what you're saying. No, yeah. I was saying it's like, it's good to have an opinion on something, but like, then when the opinion is on it for no good reason. Is there ever a good reason for an opinion? I think so, yeah.

All right, you're probably right. Evan, you should wear that outfit tomorrow in the airport. Will you? Ryan, you sure you want to ride with all of us? All right, yeah. So as of now, I, uh, 100% planning on wearing the, uh, soap shoes. In case there's an escalator, uh, barista. They'll for sure be something you can.

I suppose you got pretty lathered up today. But I don't know if I can wear the full fit. It's uncomfortable. It, okay, so these, these pants almost feel like plastic of some sort. Very sweaty. My undercarriage, I'm growing rootabagies down there. He has been complaining about it since about 20 minutes after he put it on. He's been saying how he's been sweating under his pants all day.

You could keep expensive cigars down there. It's a humidor. It's like a greenhouse. It's moist. Evan takes his pants off and there's moss growing. Oh, my gosh. Little mushrooms. Spores.

Well, we got to get up early, so you might as well get licked. I'm probably not even going to sleep tonight. Then I can get a good nap on the plane. Good, because you won't keep me up with your snoring. Do I snore that bad? Yes, ridiculous. I would play the video. All of you guys do.

CJ doesn't. He sleep talks. I'm bummed about it. He walks and screams. Yeah, dude. Actually, though, so me and CJ in the same room in this Airbnb, dude, I would rather sleep with CJ a hundred times over than sleep in the same room as you guys. Really?

You said it. You're not as bad, but like, I would never. I like over Mike no dude I would rather sleep outside on the on the golf course than sleep with Mike Gavin has been dude he's been sleeping on the couch yeah there's it's terrible Mike sounds like a full-blown fighter jet at night like you're sleeping next to it a fighter jet's giving him too much credit he kind of sounds like a oh let's see a band pit bike no like a come on the calmed ls 7 dude no dude I'm talking you sound like uh like the sound that tommator makes in cars when he's, like, not running right, you know?

Just like a real rough running. Yeah. And the way I look at it, dude, I'm really bummed about it. Like, I basically, you know, I have a physical condition. Like, I can't sleep anywhere without. Make fun of his condition. Without, no, I just feel like bad for everyone around me. I need to see a doctor's note.

And I know I probably am going to need to get more than a doctor's note someday. I'll definitely have to get a CPAP. I don't want to sleep in a CPAP. I've seen people that do it. It looks annoying. Yeah, just punish your friends and family. snoring. I think you can get it figured out.

I think you can... But you say like, just punish them like I have a choice. It's saying like, don't sweat in your sleep. Don't steal the covers in your sleep. Don't sleep walk. Don't yell in your sleep. Don't sleep with your eyes open. Don't piss the bed.

To be fair, you can sleep pretty much anywhere, Mike. So I think it'll be okay. So common courtesy. I slept out here, two nights, slept in there one night. But yeah, dude, I'm jealous of you were like Ryan snores, but it's just average. Just some average snoring. Never loud. Never quiet.

Just there. There's always there. You can fall asleep to it. I think there's a thing called like mouth tape or something like that. You can tape your mouth shut because it's something to do with the way your jaw is. I got to try, like, and I don't want to do this either, but they have mouth guards that like slightly push your bottom jaw out, which would open up your airways. But I'm like, I don't want to have an underbite on accident or something. Got to get braces again for headgear.

Ev snores too. And then as is sporadic. When did you start snoring? Honestly, I haven't caught myself snoring before, so I'm not sure what you're talking. He's normally sleeping. This is all of legend. I'm not even sure if I do. Don't you have a video, Ryan?

It's like an orchestra. Hmm. Mm. It was so ridiculous. Yeah, dude. The other day, when we were in Utah last week, we were all in one room. The whole crew fell asleep before I did. And it was like someone was snoring over here.

someone was snoring over here and then someone was snoring over here it was legit hitting like and it was just like reverberating around the room and there's nothing worse when it's out of rhythm too if it's smooth enough you know you can kind of just like yeah go back and forth and then eventually you're sleeping but when it's like all over the place hitting every single note and every single time nothing worse cj on the first night i woke up in the middle of the night to him like standing by the door Standing by the door, drinking water, like, and then, like, crinkling it and is, like, on his phone. I'm like, what the fuck is this dude doing right now? And that next thing I know, he's, like, over here, and then he's in the bathroom, and then he's walking around. He opens up the door. It looks how close is it? I thought for sure he was just sleepwalking. I was like, this dude spends half of his night's sleepwalking.

So he wasn't? I get terrible sleep. He wasn't sleepwalking? I don't know. I still. What were you doing? Part of it I was awake. I couldn't sleep that well.

Well, do you remember? The way he makes it sound, I just thought I maybe got up, went to the bathroom, and like... Yeah, what's your side of the story? We heard it is. Got up, went to the bathroom, drank water. By the door standing there for a couple minutes? I mean... But I do have a...

I am notorious for sleepwalking, so... Maybe it's because we spend so much time together, but maybe we are weird sleepers. Because Ken, you came out of your room the other night, and then I... Oh, yeah. And then I was just like, what are you doing? And then you're just like, what are you doing? And I'm like, I'm just out on the, you know, I was still awake. Yeah, you're like, you're like, I can't sleep.

But you were carrying one of your pillows. And then you just set it on the island in the kitchen and then went to, took like a 10 minute long pee and then went back to bed. And then I was like, yeah, what was that about? You're like, I don't remember doing that. Wait, wait, you left your pillow on the kitchen? Brought the pillow to the kitchen counter. It made no sense.

Oh, and then on the second night, I was just going to bed, and I was kind of on my phone. And CJ had, like, falling asleep. I just see, like, a shadow of him, like, sit up, and I'm, like, kind of, like, stop scrolling. And I look over, and he's looking at me, and he goes, oh, what the fuck?

Like, didn't finish his sentence. And I'm like, what? He's like, oh, I didn't know who you were for a second. And I was like, how often does that you? this happened it actually happened twice though because i did it last night too where you i go to bed earlier than you guys because you guys are staying up doing nothing just chilling so i i go to bed earlier probably because i sleep terribly i also woke up again last night i don't know you were laying over there i'm used to sleeping with my girlfriend and it kind of felt like we're just laying

i'm kind of used to sleeping in like a like a king size bed and it was like the same setup i was on that side looked over and you know it was still it was dark i was like that is not that is not not Alex and I was like what the fuck like I kind of was like what how did I end up in this situation it was like you could tell you I woke up and then I like pause and then like I think I think I like I like I got away and like like touched you like I like like pushed you on your back poked me or something I was like and then that's what I was like what then I knew it was Ben and I was like oh yeah it's right we're just so the funniest part to me is that we're in an Airbnb there are six beds seven guys yeah four of them are

are bunk beds in the same room. Yeah. There are only two of us, me and Ryan, sleeping in the room with the bunk beds. Yeah. You guys are choosing to sleep together just for... Well, one of us would have to go sleep in the bunk bed with the snoring and the non-farter. And also then... You'd rather cuddle your cousin?

If, if I go and do that, then Mike might decide he wants to sleep in a bed and not on a couch. He wasn't told to sleep on the couch, nor was Gavin. That's what I mean. Two people are choosing. No, you drove these guys out.

What did I do? This is the commanding. This is your fault. Honestly, you guys need to get on my sleep program. 12 twisted T's air pods in sleep till morning I don't know how good You don't though dude You're snoring like crazy

You're probably like suffocating Isn't that part of snoring is like you're Yeah Oh no I think it's like you're basically I think I do have an apnea thing Yeah My girlfriend's like been worried that I'm about to die Because I don't breathe for like a minute and a half

And then I just like It's a thing I think it's normal Fucking coming in Okay so I'd like to talk about that You guys grill me About my vaping and my popcorn lung, which vaping is a terrible habit that I'll get over someday.

However, when we went in the pool and we were doing this swimming challenge, I would argue that Ben is the healthiest, he's the youngest, and he did the worst other than Ken. We don't need to get into that. That's because I'm a terrible swimmer. The swimming is fine, but the time you spent underwater, it doesn't matter how good you are swimming. He took first.

He held his breath longer and ever. Yeah, I held my breath the longest. until Ryan did it. Well, I'm just saying you guys give me a lot of grief about popcorn. No, I was impressed. I was impressed with how long you could hold your breath heaven. And then also today, me and Mike are like literally, we almost burnt a concrete skate park down. You were running around.

That shouldn't even be possible. Not that hard. Ben does one lap around the bowl and he's like, wow, that was a lot of work. I'm huffing and puffing. Here, me and Mike are out here grinding. I'd like to see any of you guys run a mile. I would do it, but I don't like lifting. weights but another thing i was interested i'm not trying to like call you out because evan was

like the best swimmer back a week ago we were snowmobiling you were a steam engine just hopping and puffing i'm like evan let's go do this and you're like i can't risk getting that out of breath again which is fair you know literally me in altitude it doesn't work but even when i was i'm back to 15 years old go on a ski trip get up in the altitude like that dude and uh As soon as I can't breathe, I feel like I'm losing my breath. My anxiety kicks in. And then it's a compiling problem. Dude, yeah, you are truly a different person out in the mountains.

Yeah, well, because I can't breathe. I feel like I'm going to survival mode. Yeah. It's like, this is not a day of pleasure. This is a day of survival. No, there's like. Yeah, that makes so much sense. You never really explain that.

But like, when we're out snowmobile and I'm like, yo, hit this. And you're like, no. I'm like, it was just. Like, I don't think you've ever turned down, like, doing something. For the record, you were also riding like you, like, you know, if you guys remember way back, Ryan was riding like a little bit of a wuss. And then we were like, Ryan, sorry. Dude, Mike is just coming out swinging, dude.

It was when we were with David and then we were like, Ryan lost his mojo. It's super funny. We were like, Ryan lost his mojo. Yeah, I lost my mojo for a little bit. On this last trip, Ryan got it back. And I was like, dude, it's so sick that Ryan got his mojo back. It's super bummer that Evan lost it on that same trip. though.

I didn't lose my mojo. I just couldn't breathe. You did lose your mojo. I didn't want to ride a snowmobile. No, but then you'd come in, I'd be like, all right, Evan, you've been sitting in that corner for half an hour. We just got, you got to run up and hit this for Ben. We got to get a couple clips of you, man.

And then he, you're like, you're like, and then you're like, why don't even try? Yeah, like, I didn't even want to. Actually. No good, rotten pieces. I'm just bust in your ball. No, I, I, I agree. I literally, we were out in some. Excellent snowmobiling conditions

And I literally Didn't ride I literally just went To the spot I never sessioned a spot I just didn't want to push it I was just chilling Do you have a inhaler with you

I don't And that was the thing That morning Not a single gas station Sold the oxygen in a can But like when we were in Breckenridge Like every gas station Within 100 miles

Right there's a lot more people In Colorado that have popcorn lungs it must be but yeah i i just wasn't i mean i guess you could say i didn't have my mojo it's i couldn't breathe right i just i'm just having such a hard time taking you serious right like i'm getting the hat or the trousers like i'm getting the full show at least you're capped off right on both ends dude i feel fresh as fuck you all know it's crazy i had that exact same hat in like 2003 i was thinking that after i think ben picked this hat out for me today.

It's reversible. So, yeah. Blue red, yeah. Yeah, and it's blue on the inside, but the one I had was gray and black on the inside and then red and orange on the outside, but exactly the same, uh, same concept. Like, if you caught, if you caught me back in first or second grade, like, I was running it hard. Out at recess, getting all sweaty wearing your snow gear at recess coming back in, a little sweatball.

Yes. Has ever get injured on the playground as kids? Yeah. Yeah, I did one time. But I've already told that story on this podcast. I got pushed down on the playground. It's just a classic, like, fallen from, I guess there's those bubbles, but that's why I fell off the top of the bubble and just land straight on the ground, wind knocked out of me. But if you, if you've never, if you're a little kid and you get the wind knocked out of you?

Oh, you think you're dying. I was like, what is happening to me? Like, yeah, I just, yeah, never felt, yeah. A couple weeks ago, I got the wind knocked out of me. I thought I was dying. You, no, but you. You don't have to be young to think that you're dying when you can't breathe. So that's a good point.

So you got hit so hard that you thought you were dying. But now if I fell on my dirt bike and I got the wind knocked out of me, but that's all that happened. If I just like flew too far to flat and then I just kind of went doof, I'd be like, I'm good boys. That's already two minutes later hindsight. At the moment, all you know is you hit the ground hard. You can't breathe.

Yeah, but I know that feeling. And you can't look at you and go, Oh, I'm fine. Yeah, but how do you know the difference? How could you tell on that impact if you just got the wind knocked out of you or if your lungs are collapsed and you're not going to be able to breathe again? You don't know. Just an instance.

The same thing. If I fell off the monkey bars today and I just landed straight on my back, I would go, I got the wind knocked out of me. But when I was five years old, I was like, what is happening? I think I'm dying. One time on the playground, I was playing on like this Eiffel Tower. Why is that funny? Why is that funny?

Heaven, he was now... Which ones of your friends were involved? No, I did like this backflip off of this like rope thing onto the ground. There's maybe like three feet off of it. I just remember coming around on the backflip and I was like, oh, I'm way too short on this. And just like clothes lining my face on like the rope on it, what you think about every time you backflip off of something. Like, if you're, like, going into the water off of a diving board or something like that. And I just, just clip my face on the rope that I back footblock for a long time after that.

But I remember that. Justin ran full speed into, like, you know what the tennis court things? The net used to be held up to was just like a concrete, pole pylon thing that's about yay tall. And he ran full speed into it. And people said he hit the pole like Woody Woodpecker and both his legs and arms went out. Oh, slid down. Damn. Yeah, he was okay, though.

I got to go, Pete. Intermission. You guys would absolutely hate, and Sydney does hate it, how I grocery shop. And it's the most Micah thing ever. I just show up, no list, maybe a list, probably not list. Just throw everything that you like in the cart. Yeah, but not only that, I'm like, the most effective way I can grocery shop is just go down every aisle. I actually do it.

Is there anyone that doesn't do that right now? Do you know? I do that. I walked down every aisle. Even if you have a list, you literally just weave your way through every aisle. I like to go to the back. That's what I do.

They work back up. Yeah, I go to the farthest back aisle. That's where the drinks are. Like, grab a case of water, maybe a case of Mountain Dew, and then you work your way back. And regardless of what order you do it in, that does make me feel a lot better.

Like, I was like, dude, I'm such a weirdo. Like, I'm so slow. I just go in there. And I just love going through every aisle just in case it's the same stuff every time but like just in case i have a different craving for something else and it makes me spend uh at least an hour in there yeah which is just kind of unnecessary but over the last like

three or four months i've been on this diet where i i don't eat out and i have to follow this strict diet at all this shit right i've talked about it's got to be pretty easy for you now it is it is yeah yeah so and that's the other thing too like i know exactly what i can't have and what i can't have I've came to the conclusion that cooking at home is way more expensive than eating out. That's not true. That's not. I will argue. Maybe it's just what I can eat and compared to what I was spending eating out because

like I have to eat like meats and like things like that where it's just not cheap. Dude, every time I go to the grocery store, which is like twice a week, it's at least 150 bucks. It's that meat, bro. Yeah, you're a special case. If you ate steak three meals a day at a restaurant, it's going to be more than eating it three times a day. Which you weren't doing before. You were not getting steaks every time you had to eat. That's true.

But either way, I think going to the grocery store is way more expensive than you would think. I remember I posted on my Snapchat. I spent like $250 at the grocery store. And then a bunch of people responded like, it's not that much. What you just spent is not that crazy. Especially if you got a family, dude. Yeah. Yep.

Like, you're probably spending three to 400 a week if you have a four person. So yourself, your wife and two kids, you're probably doing 400 a week. Yeah, and it's just, it's gotten really, really, really out of hand. And I never know, dude, also, I went down on the whole rabbit hole on, like, TikTok of this dude who's, like, explaining which companies are family owned and which ones are pretty much owned by, like, Black Rock and all the big, blah, blah, blah. You know, there's like the cage-free eggs that are $8.50. That's a sham. A case. I agree.

Can we talk about it? We can't. And then there's the other case of eggs. It means nothing. Are they better? Do they taste better? I think they do. That's good.

I think they taste a little better. They're just bigger eggs. No, the ones that she gets. Because you can get the jumbo. Because they're full of hormones. They're actually worse for you. I'm just saying. Have you guys watched?

Are you familiar with Super Size Me? Yeah, it's fantastic. The original Super Size Me. That is a classic. It's about the guy eating the McDonald's. And then there's a second supersized me where the guy opens a chicken restaurant. He wants to meet all the qualifications to be healthy. And they go into a farm.

And like a small example is when they say free-range chickens, that makes you think that what's free-range chickens, they're just like wandering out in a pasture out in the grass. Yeah, I think what Evans about to say should be known. It literally, they show the farm, so they got the normal chickens right here in a huge barn. Next door, they have the exact same barn with a fence that protrudes like six feet. They just open a garage door and the fence bumps out. So, crazy.

So technically those chickens could walk outside. However, all the chickens that are in that barn are all like cornered up in the dark in the corner, exactly the same. Kind of get their food. exactly the same as the chickens in the barn that aren't free range, they just have the option to be free range. Interesting. It's just a sham. Such a passionate man.

Dude, when I heard that, I was like, of course it is all a sham. And so that's where it confuses me the whole, like, let's just call it a $10 carton of eggs. And then you have your $2 carton of eggs, which is obviously not cage-free. And then you have everything in between. And I'm like, none of it makes sense. And I was like, I just want eggs that are good. And I just wish I knew the shit that I was buying. I just wanted to know that it doesn't have shit in it.

It does. Everything. Everything does. I wish I knew which stuff didn't and I would pay good money for it. And I agree with that. Like what you just said, two and a half bucks for carton eggs or eight or ten. But when you find out that they're literally exactly the same, that's discouraging. If you knew that they were truly better for you, you could justify that money.

But then to find out... I have a hard time believing all of them are that way. And I'm not kidding you. Like, my mom would always get cage-free eggs. Whatever eggs Alex is getting are actually, like... I don't even want to know the price of them. But they're bigger. There is something different.

But are they from, like, say, a local farm? They come in a different box and everything. Like, I really don't even want to know the price of them. Do they come from a big box store or do they come from someone local? I think if you are buying... I have no fucking clue. All I know is they're good eggs that she was like, These are really the best eggs you can get.

But she just will not disclose that price. Well, I didn't want to. I didn't ask. I didn't care. But I think what it means is you buy stuff like that, your vegetables, your meats, your eggs, stuff like that from someone local. Yeah. Then you actually know. Or you raise them yourself.

You go to the big box store and overpay for the one with that one sentence that says, it's better. Yeah. I mean, if you're going to Walmart, you're probably not getting that good of eggs. No, it's all shit. If you're going to Dollar General, you're not getting that good of eggs. Like, I mean, it's all, like, pretty, like you say. But if you're going, I don't know where, you could, obviously, if you're going to somewhere small, you probably could trust them a lot more at some place, a certain place.

You have to do your research. Unless you get them from the guy that produced them, you'll never know. Really. That's very true. 100%. You never will. Oh, man. Yeah, we really went down on a rabbit hole there.

But, you know, these are the questions that we have that people are asking. And it all started from a give or take on Aldi. Yeah. never been there but uh i mean i'm curious to see what other people uh have to say about it though go to our bad well i had a really good time at trader joes never had been there before either went in there and i'm just like oh yeah so like they had trader joes has their own branded marshmallows and then i'm like looking oh they have their own branded lettuce oh they have their own branded and then i kind of like start realizing and i was like oh everything yeah everything it's trader jo's

Oh, wow. And I envision Trader Joe's Twisted tea tasting like Arnie Palmer. No one wants it. Really? Really? Wait, that's what? You don't like Arnold Palmer? One of the best teas ever made on the planet.

But you like Twisted Tea. Time out, no. I agree. Like, an Arnold Palmer is a tea in lemonade. I enjoy tea and lemonade. That's an Arnold Palmer. The pre-canned beverages marketed as Arnold Palmer's are trash. compared to Twix except for if it's Arizona branded that's not an alcohol tea oh oh oh oh oh

you're saying that the alcoholic Arizona or the alcoholic Arnold Palmer teas yeah yeah it's like a brand of alcoholic drink Arnold Palmer's yeah yeah yeah those aren't as good I would trash yes liquor I mean I would I would assume that like the the biggest twisted tea drinker I know would would have that opinion on it hey I love on the competitive The only thing that competes with a twisted tea is a two-turned Tony, and I love them dearly. So good. And I really honestly don't know which one I like more, because they are a close tie. But any other tea beverage on the market?

Not even close. Dump it down the sink. I don't want nothing to do with it. The Lipton ones gave me a run for my money, but two-turn tonies all the way. Would you drink, if you weren't looking for an alcoholic beverage, would you drink the Arizona brand, Arnold Palmer Those are good Okay

Love him I was like 99 cents at the gas station Love them No I love the Arnold Palmer drink Okay But just not the Alcoholic Arnold Palmer's

Those yeah those aren't that good Those are trashed Okay You guys are you guys have You guys have met like Probably a handful people As I have that like Just are against shopping at Walmart

My girlfriend's dad Yeah I won't go too far into that I just find that like I don't think there's anything wrong with it Or like that anybody should be above it But there are times that you shouldn't go

and there are cities that you probably shouldn't visit it in but other than that I think Walmart's probably one of the most convenient places to exist. I just saw a video of a guy riding a four-wheeler

through Walmart. Really? Yeah, full-blown race squad or like a raptor and the caption was at least he's not stealing. You know it's one of those 12 o'clock boys too I saw that video.

I know. He did a hot lap. He definitely went in like the far right entrance and then just went out the other side. square yeah i'm sure those walmart were like what are they going to do jump in front they don't even stop shoplifters 30 mile an hour they're gonna just let that guy cruiser it you can't shoplift like up to 900 dollars worth and they can't stop you or something like that when me mike and ken we went

into walmart to grab some groceries on on this trip good time yeah for the Airbnb and it was a good time but uh just classic you know we're we go through the checkout we pay for our our shit you get this big long receipt you throw it in the garbage you get to the door there's some old man that says can i see your receipt and then you just have to say we don't have the receipt and he tries to argue with you and then you just walk out the door and it somehow feels like you did something wrong you're like we didn't we went into a store we paid for it now we're going out and they put this person in place to check you you know what's funny too is they mind boggling They always have like an elderly person doing that job.

If they were that fucking worried about it, maybe they put a security guard that had like some power to stop the people. And I feel terrible because I don't want to like disrespect the elderly. But it's like my God. Yeah, I think that's what they're banking on. I just bought some pizza rolls and a couple bags of Doritos. You bought pizza rolls? And I'm about to walk out the door like, fuck off.

Let me go. Normally, I don't know. They are exactly how you explained. I wish I wasn't built this way so I don't have to correct you. The guy was so nice. We were like, we don't have a receipt. And then he's just like, you know, that's all right. God bless you.

And then I go, God bless you, man. And he goes, I love it. Like, he was so excited that I said it back to him. And he was like, but here's what I couldn't believe. Self-checkout. They sell beer and other stuff at Walmarts all across the country besides in Minnesota. I know there's a few other states like that. Get a couple cases for the whole crew.

And we're self-checking it out. Someone has to come over. And I figure, like they would in Minnesota for sure. And at most places, they would go, well, these guys with you, got to see their IDs, too. Like, that's just how it would go. That's that standard process. And I had my ID out. And she, like, looked at me and was just, like, saw that Ken was checking out and goes,

I need your ID. And just took his, and that was it. It just seemed insane to me. Like, we could have probably had a couple, two, three more guys with us. and then she just just checked Ken's ID. Like, you know, I just thought that was insane. But there's holes in that, too, because years ago, I'm 18, my cousin's two years younger than me, 16 years old. I feel like crap.

I want to go get some day quill. Me and my cousin going to Walmart together. I pick up a jug of dayquil. We go to the self-checkout, sends the alarm. She will not sell me dayquil because my cousin is with me. and he's 16 years old That's what I'm saying And I don't think that's right

Like I need cold medicine I'm sick I don't think that's right either And we had to leave it And just walk out She checked Yeah she checked both of us And she said oh you came in the store with him

You cannot buy cold medicine I just thought it was unbelievable I guess like let's say you wouldn't have your ID And she tried to check all three of us And you didn't have it And she's like I can't sell you this We would have been pretty bummed And it was just like so convenient

That she didn't check that And in Minnesota that would not fly i mean it's always like you're gotta assume that they're gonna do their job and check everyone's ideas like in that instance i was always the youngest kid in the group and i just knew it was coming and i would just walk away like as like being like the young kid like or your cousin doing that granted you probably didn't know that was coming but like when you guys would go and buy beer somewhere you knew the i would yeah i just you just walk away versus like put that employee like in a weird spot to be like i can obviously tell this kid isn't 21 you know like what do i do about that but

all right on that note let's wrap it up thank for uh listening to the podcast we'll see you guys next week peace peace
