Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, so what did you want to talk about? Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi. Yeah, Wagovi. What about it? On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you. Oh, you're not? No, just ask your doctor. About Wagovi.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Yeah, ask for it by name. Okay. So, why did you bring me to the circus? Oh, I'm really into lion tamers. You know, with the chair and everything? Ask your doctor for Wagoe by name. Visit Wagoe.combe.com for savings. Exclusions may apply.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Oh, uh-oh, there's a Monty in there. Might drink a Celsius. All right, we're good. We're back, huh? A couple of slaps in the face, and we're good to go. Dude, all right, the video's not out yet, but this Thursday, we'll get, podcast gets a little sneak peek. We put tracks on the Seema truck, not normal tracks, not the tracks that you're thinking.
Starting point is 00:00:51 We took snowmobile tracks. We put them on the outside of the wheels, just like the actual wheel with no tire on it. whims that some people call it and it worked it worked amazing it was happy it was surprising it was such uh abstract idea if that's the correct word for it and i honestly i didn't think it was going to work i didn't think it was going to work so wait for the video i don't want to say i was like wait for wait for the video to see the complete unorthodox way that we secured the tracks to the wheels it's a budget track build like our buddy jake put tracks on his raptor and we put tracks on our side-by-side our Maverick this is the budget version same same but different and uh it worked pretty well
Starting point is 00:01:33 and honestly surprising i would have expected the seema truck to have fallen apart in this video but the ram the ram is the one that let us down somehow in the background of the video which nobody you'll see it just completely rattled apart and sounds like it's dying every time we drive it through the field the field is so rough i think someone yeah we you can't be ripping on it through the field That's the bummers. I took it so easy. I just idled out there. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Isn't that supposed to be like a work truck? Just Ken not take it easy in the... Ken's back there. I'm not even like this isn't like a position. Oh, I'm going to out Ken. But when we were on our way back, like the thing was rattling before that. And he was ripping because we had to get through the snow.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I'm like, well, it wasn't broken now. It is now. We both just kind of look at each other. I don't know, man. I wasn't going to get stuck in that thing. Right. Well, but we had Kevin with the groomer on our tail. So, listen, as a true vehicle enthusiast, a little disappointed in the, in the Dodge,
Starting point is 00:02:30 the interior is falling apart, bro. The whole thing's fucking rattling apart. The interior? Well, I mean, like you said, everything's rattling. Like, we're going across the field, everything's shaking, like, it just, it, it's making a bunch of noises. And I hop in our totally unpractical seema truck riding on basically wheels, no tires, and it was silent going across. Like, I mean, it was very sturdy.
Starting point is 00:02:51 You even said it when you were with me. No, it did, it was very sturdy. I think the rattles in the ram are coming from the outside. Oh, okay. Yeah. You know, I wasn't sure if maybe like the dash, you know, sometimes like a cheaper vehicle, like the dashing shit ends up getting loose and it starts making noise and I wasn't sure if... It's something in the rear end of the vehicle.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I don't know what it is. There's a loose bolt or something back there. I think the only, you know, people that might have an idea as to what could possibly wrong with it would be the two people that drive it the most. Yeah, that's on me. And Ben. And Ben. Well, yeah, because Ben hasn't really had a daily, you know, you were kind of on me about the Hummer a little bit, but you were driving the Ranger quite a bit this week.
Starting point is 00:03:31 I'm not going to lie. Yeah, I was going to say, I'm like, dude, you drive the RAM a lot too, which I don't really have a problem with, but both you two are like daily that more in your own vehicles. Well, it's because I'm making my daily, my truck, my Raptor doing stuff to it. So it's not even my daily anymore. it's funny like i feel like we always buy these vehicles and then try and make it practical and then we immediately just either it's in the shop getting worked on or we're getting different things put on it to make it not practical and that's where i'm at right now with my truck so i haven't even had it for probably like the month and a half i've owned it i've driven it for like two weeks
Starting point is 00:04:12 all he did was put a leveling kid on it it it was just like way too serious of an explanation for like what was happening because i'm like on your side i'm like yeah it was in the shop i'm tops to you well what are you talking about no no it was just funny when you talked about making it unpractical but all you did was put i'm not i'm not i'm saying we either make it unpractical or it's in the shop getting something done to it and your raptor sick i'm not saying that my raptor is unpractical that's not the point i was just saying if you buy a car and then it's just in the shop most of the time and it's not even like yeah you don't drive it stuff I was talking to Jake about his tracks for his Raptor.
Starting point is 00:04:54 He said those things are like $40,000 new. Dude. I mean, obviously they worked extensively better than our track system, but that's a lot of money to put. And something tells me that they lose value really fast because he bought them for $20,000, which in my opinion is still horrendous. Yeah, that's so much.
Starting point is 00:05:13 He got a good deal on them. But, I mean, for a new set. There's so much money just to, like, I mean, it's sick. But like, he did admit, though, to me, he was like, yeah. it was it's cool but like once you get it it's kind of like now what it was like after a point how much do you do with you just drive it through some snow it's like nice and then something breaks it is kind of tough i mean obviously we live like where we try to film things and do stuff but i'm trying
Starting point is 00:05:38 to think of like where someone who didn't film their life like what's a practical application for putting tracks going to the ice house it's about having a lot of money i can think of a lot of money and wanting to do cool shit just for the sole purpose of doing cool shit like you don't even have anyone to show other than than your buddies yeah but they love that just like always break yeah i love that too i think that's cool but like imagine like we used to modify our cars before we had a youtube channel and it was no reason other than just like the only people i saw was just our buddies you know yeah you just like to do it for the love of the game so i i can respect that so it has been an interesting shift around here we've went from all driving you know like low profile sports cars
Starting point is 00:06:24 whatever in the summer and then now we if you drive in the parking lot we look like truck guys we got a couple trucks out there broncos the hummer whatnot did you guys see the corvette first of all in all wheel drive corvette but second up in all a half electric corvette i did i didn't know that they finally yeah the same thing i've heard that there's rumors of it did they actually Yeah, they finally released the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, is what they're calling it. But the funny thing is, is Ken, if you can pull up some of the marketing, a good percentage of the marketing is the Corvette being driven in the winter. What?
Starting point is 00:07:01 That's interesting. Really? They're kind of like trying to show that it's an all-wheel drive vehicle and that it's capable. So you can run it year-round. That's actually pretty sick. When they release this, it's really interesting since it's like half-electric. I literally didn't take the time to look into it. The Z-0-6, I read every spec.
Starting point is 00:07:18 and watched every video you could on it. And then this, I don't know, it was the fact that it was half electric, it didn't appeal to me. However, still sick. So that's what I was going to have. That is a weird deal. Like, it just didn't appeal to me,
Starting point is 00:07:28 but, like, I love the snow. The all will drive. You know that the electric performance is going to be a better. It's going to be way better. Yeah. I can't imagine ripping a Corvette and having to be silent. The quickest Corvette ever. It's a hybrid.
Starting point is 00:07:42 So it's still got the engine in the back. It has the engine in the back. And then, so 200 horsepower in the front. and the hybrid system powers the front two wheels and then the engine is in the back but it's zero to 60 2.5 I watched Amelia Hartford or Hartford did a video on it it was a great video she did an excellent job
Starting point is 00:08:03 and two they ripped the shit out of it it must have been like an actual GM employee driving it dude he was doing booning he was doing launches would rev it up drop it and then do a like a j turn immediately and would just like tear off and was doing donuts in it because it's all-wheel drive so you can like do the kind of you know hold on so turnouts but it was it was pretty cool because it's got different modes in it and I think it's like electric assist up to 45 miles per hour
Starting point is 00:08:32 electric only up to 45 well electric only up to 45 and then the hybrid system takes over but it's still all-wheel drive 060 2.5 seconds so when here it's the fast it's faster than 0.06 right so when you're going up to 45 miles an hour It's quiet? Or is it just like a boost? It's like a Prius. Like a Prius, you can, like a Prius, you can be electric only. But it's like if you give it throttle,
Starting point is 00:08:56 it's still going to, the gas engine is going to kick on. So are they still making the Zorro or whatever? Because there was rumors about this thousand horsepower, all-wheel drive Corvette that was coming out. That could be the next stage of this. Yeah. If the Zorro is like the ZO6 version of this. Because I feel like this is just the start.
Starting point is 00:09:14 This is like the base level hybrid. Yeah, I'm sure the next year they add another layer to it. It is really cool that obviously they're incorporating the hybrid system because it's insanely fast and all-wheel drive. But it definitely takes away like that muscle car, American-made kind of feeling to it. It's not saying that it really isn't anymore because, I mean, it still sounds amazing and it's obviously faster than most. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:42 It kind of goes back to what you guys were saying. Like you saw that and you were like, cool. didn't even care to look into it. It is interesting the effect that electric still has on sports car people. I think probably very similar to what automatic had into like probably our parents' age. Like when a car came out in automatic, you're like, oh, automatic, I don't want that. But now automatics are arguably better than manuals. Less driving feel, but they are much better and faster shipping or shipping.
Starting point is 00:10:11 But they're a better for a company. I was like, I jumped into a ship station ad right there. When the UPS trucks finally got automatic transmissions, man, the shipping got better. But Ken, so speaking of the all-electric noise, Ken, could you pull up the noise that it makes in all-electric mode? Because Ken's Tesla's got this really weird Jetsons like, woo-d-d-d-d-d-doo-d-d-noise. The Corvette one did not do it for me. Well, that was another thing, too. They were saying that they still got to dial in that because legally you can't have a completely silent car because if you're like blind.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Dangerous, yeah. It's dangerous. You can't hear it. at all. So yeah, Ken's is like, do do do do. Okay, this is a minor detail, but is it just me or does the ERA not look that cool? Like the zero six looks significant. The front looks weird. It looks way cool. The zero six looks awesome. It looks kind of lame. Well, the, I feel like it should be more aggressive. It's also a step back. Yes. The trim level is. It's almost like a step up from a standard C8, but it's not a zero six. And I agree. I mean, when you look at that with the bigger
Starting point is 00:11:12 front, it just doesn't quite do it. It just doesn't quite do. it for me but i think it might be because the entire front end is paint matched like the front lip is paint matched you know like uh when the c7 corvette came out and it was like the stingray a whole new platform it looked ridiculous i remember your dad had one and we had like friends that would come over that weren't super familiar with cars and they they were just like is this a Ferrari like they they legit thought it was this crazy car and then the z o six came out and the zero six just looks so much better than a normal Corvette. I don't know. I just feel like this
Starting point is 00:11:48 could have been... I mean, like Ryan said, it's like the middle price point. I think at MSRP's at like 104, which is still a ton of money, but it's cheaper than a zero-six. Amelia is killing it. She keeps getting all these deals with... Yeah, it's pretty cool that they trust her with that. I saw her video before I even saw a Corvette poster, or GM post. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Man, she even got a race shot of a legends in it? What? She's double div. Dude, that's awesome. it sounds like a fighter jet it sounds like a fighter jet it sounds pretty sick it does sound cool it sounds sick
Starting point is 00:12:23 yeah it almost sounds like a super charge yeah there's like the mixture of the so it's still a v8 right yeah yeah it's got the standard stingray 6-2 in it see the more I learn about it uh it's absolutely an incredible piece of machine yeah absolutely and this is faster than the 06 what's the 06 to 0 to 60 in
Starting point is 00:12:42 2 6 just because it's got rear wheel drive you just can't be having a couple hundred horsepower up front but yeah can you imagine when they take this technology and they throw the the v8 that they've got in the zero six in the back and it's pumping out 600 horse and then they throw 400 horse up front it's a thousand horsepower supercar all silver that's actually kind of cool i like it dude doesn't sound like a hybrid to me no that's badass dude i like it i want that job at general motors i take back what i said about the look that looks pretty sick i think the all it looks good in certain colors but when it's all one color it's like the fact that the front lip the canards or whatever like the fronts um in front of the
Starting point is 00:13:29 radiator is and everything it's something that all electric cars do just the whole front because it doesn't need any air intake so it's just all blue yeah and it always is what makes them look not just right yeah because it takes in from the back and a little bit in the front too but dude yeah it's it's pretty cool also have you guys seen like the suv mock up version of the corvette i don't know obviously they're all renderings right now but it's kind of like the yuris corvette thing that's pretty cool too i mean it makes sense like all these different manufacturers are probably seeing like the success that the SUV market is having well don't pick the ugliest one okay that looks that that's that's crazy obviously obviously
Starting point is 00:14:10 Obviously, it's just a rendering, but... That's sick. Like, that's... That's a Mike-type of car. He'd Mike, Mike would get that. I love that. Imagine if that's actually what it looked like with the door, with the big C on the door, like that air vent.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I mean, it makes no sense. How are you supposed to put your kid's car seat in the back of that? There's just one back seat, like in the middle. Yeah. I think in the future, though, cars are going to be so aggressive. Give it five years and that'll probably be what most new cars are looking like for, like, sharp edges and lines and i don't know god i hope so pretty aggressive front end my two cents on that maybe is i love that chevy's making you know a corvette SUV i love that uh ford made the
Starting point is 00:14:52 mustang SUV but i wish they wouldn't take the mustang name and the corvette name that has like a hundred years of lineage of being a sports car and slap it on an SUV just so it sells I wish they could come up with a new name. And if it was a fucking Blazer, you know, R.S or something like that, they already make that. But, you know, I just don't like that they take the Corvette name and the Mustang name and put it on an electric SUV
Starting point is 00:15:19 and go like, great, now it'll sell. I agree. They shouldn't do that. But they did. And they did it to sell. I don't really care that much that they do that as long as it's cool. But, like, when Ford did that with the Mustang, Mock E or whatever it was, SUV, that just, like, ruined it.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I know. It's so lame. they do that so lame i got a call yesterday from someone wanting me to donate to the state troopers of minnesota really and nick it was i got i got i got you got a call to troopers yeah just no just like the police force i didn't get that one i got state troopers in particular and if you want to donate like we it goes straight to them blah blah blah blah blah and the troopers yeah straight to the troopers so it's like to the uh you know but minnesota state troopers association whatever like it goes to the troopers and i was like i just wanted to be like do you know
Starting point is 00:16:09 who you're calling you know who i am not like i'm some felon or or anything like like like you really pay enough to them you're asking yeah i wanted to give her the whole spiel and then she's like yep if you make a donation you'll get a sticker for the back of your car that'd be pretty badass so then i'm like how much and she's like well if for a normal donation we ask 35 and for the sticker it's 50 i'll do it set the paper yeah That's that whole favorite work. That's funny. 50 bucks for the sticker.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Yep. And she was just like, oh, thank you so much. I wish you the best year. And I really appreciate it. Yeah. And I was kind of like, I was going to be like, you should call the rest of these guys. Hey, here's some numbers on the numbers. These guys all donate to.
Starting point is 00:16:49 What? It just seems like such a donation going to. That's what she made it very clear like, like three times. Yeah. And this is, this isn't, we're not a middle man. We're just in charge of setting up this donation thing. And it all goes to the state troopers. and I'm just like actually
Starting point is 00:17:05 I'm like what actually do they need my money for on top of the money that they've gotten from me and us but I wanted the sticker that's interesting I've never heard of like government I had neither sure this isn't just hold up hold up his name wasn't like Juan and he didn't request the money via Venmo did he what was this this thing called
Starting point is 00:17:26 Mike's on a list Mike's on a list are like listen you just call him state you need the money State Patrol Trooper Association STPA? I have no idea. Is that a thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Like a scam thing? Or a real thing? No, it looks real. Oh, okay. Nice. I just wanted the sticker. Yeah, no. That's going to be awesome.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Mike, is there any update on your seron? No, the shipping company keeps sending me more emails. They sent me another one just the other day. And they were like, hey, still waiting on that payment for the clear of the customs. And then I was like, I was really stern. I was just like, I'm not paying for those. I need to see one at my door. I paid for the one.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Send it and we'll talk. Like, you know, I just need to know this is legit. And they're probably going to be like, yeah, it's legit. And I'm like, I don't know who, you know, like I've never bought something before from this vendor. I got to know if it's legit. And I haven't heard anything since. Well, after the podcast, Ken did a little bit of digging and he found that the tracking
Starting point is 00:18:24 number that they sent was via air, right? The tracking number Micah gave me, um, went to a, bunch of different airports and those serons have lithium batteries and they typically would not ship 10 of those via air. Right. Especially if they told you was going via C. I don't know what they told me. They just said it would be way back when I made the order. They just said it'll be at my doorstop in 12 days. I did see one comment though. Most of the comments were like, Mike, you got scammed. You got scammed. You get scammed. But there was one comment that said, I have ordered something from Alibaba and they said the same thing to me when it got to the port I had to pay the shipping
Starting point is 00:19:07 for like 10 different things I can't remember what it was but it's something similar and he was like I took the chance I paid it and they showed up at my doorstep so I'm I hate to tell you this Mike to do it but might work that's wild so I don't know I was I was just curious I was curious uh what the update we're chilling we'll see how that goes people my Venmo has definitely been popping what really both for yeah but now it's no one's paying me 500 but both for five dollars $15, some people requesting, some guy requests me for like 20 bucks and says, seeing if, heard this on the podcast, seeing if it works. I'm like, seeing if what works.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Did someone on the podcast say, yeah, if you request Mike of money on Venmo, he'll pay it back. You might. It has happened. Guys, Evan's looking at the podcast and he looks like you want some camera time. And you look, and you look like you're about to fall asleep. I'm going to swap out with him here. I do have to warn you, Evan has been letting it rip.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Oh, that's fine. I'm far enough away from him. welcome ev come on in welcome ev take a seat welcome ev what's going on want to put the seat up yeah you can put your chair up a little bit it's always on an awkward angle like the chair's going to break this is the first time heaven sat down on the podcast we haven't broken his chair instantly all right ev we got you something my god you guys you guys you got Got me this glass from the kitchen?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Oh, nice. Your favorite. A nice, expensive white wine. A nice old bottle of Josh. You got a boot full of wine. Let me taste that. Oh, my gosh. You know, this was a very nice surprise, Ben.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Why can't all your surprises be like this? Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Ben, cheers is it for me with Evan. We found that white wine does wild things to Evan. Talked about it a little bit on the last pot. I didn't want to do you too dirty, though.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Everything that was going down the night, but Evan was getting loose on white wine. I don't really remember, so I don't even think it happened. That's how that works, right? I think something like that. Dude, have you sit down with the heated jacket? Like, is it that cold in here? Dude, I really like this heated jacket.
Starting point is 00:21:23 I don't want to take it off. Dude, literally. So, like, David sends us 5'09, just got heated jackets, and David sent three of them, and I took one, Evan took one, and Ryan took one. one. Here was my number one goal going into it, being one of, one of the half of the crew that got a heated jacket. I'm not going to say anything about it. Nothing. I like it. If someone ask, yeah, yeah, I love it. It's warm. Oops. Hope you get one. Have just, and Evan really, you guys are
Starting point is 00:21:46 like, oh yeah, like this heated jacket. But it's not even just you two. I'm like wondering if it's like one of those things, you know, like dudes who drink IPAs, who can't like not tell people that they drink IPAs and two drink IPAs or like people. Or crossfit or stuff. Yeah, cross vegan, people with fucking tents on the top of their forerunner. They cannot tell people. I think heated, it's kind of part of it. Obviously, people notice the flashing or the light on your jacket or your gloves, but it's one of those things.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Oh, yeah, I have heated gloves. You don't have heated gloves? Oh, they're great. My hands don't get cold because they're heated. They don't. And it's just, I know, it's just thought it was one of those things. It's going to be something you can't not tell people. I do feel like you guys are flexing on me.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I got the same jacket just without the heater. And it's just, you just feel inferior. Yes, you must. When the whole crew pulls up and they all got the blinking little red dot, it's like, whoa,
Starting point is 00:22:41 these guys mean busy. They're kind of just looking. They must be warm. So where were you going with that? You want to stop people from talking about it? Oh, yeah, I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, not necessarily stop them,
Starting point is 00:22:51 but I think that it's going to turn into that. Like, there's more and more heated units. Yeah, you just got to humbly be warm in your heated. jackets and gloves and hats without saying something about it it's impossible I can't do it you can't say it no every time I turn it on
Starting point is 00:23:08 and it feels so nice and warm I have to tell someone this is a compulsive thing it's so amazing it's like taking that big drink off a crispy dew and just going it's like throwing the jacket on and getting the warmth and it's like a warm hug yeah it's beautiful so last night I was scrolling TikTok as I frequently do
Starting point is 00:23:27 at late hours of the evening and I came across a video of a woman with a fenced-in yard and just a pretty normal looking house, but it looked familiar to me. And she is screaming at these people who are videotaping her. I'm like, what in the hell is going on? Is this like a case of bad neighbors? Because around here, we live in an area where people don't really put up fences. Like fences are considered neighbor haters.
Starting point is 00:23:52 And it's like this weird thing because you're like, yeah, we're, you know, you got enough space. And I'm like, man, why does this lady have a large fence and a gated driveway, all this stuff? I figured out that she lives in the old Breaking Bad House. Oh, my gosh. And so I feel like any house of a TV show or, you know, whatever is common for people to visit it. Apparently, the Breaking Bad House is very common. And in the show, I believe they threw a pizza on the roof. So people would go to her house.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Multiple times. And throw a pizza up on the roof. is a funny prank. Well, the lady lived there and was obviously pretty pissed about pizzas
Starting point is 00:24:29 being thrown on a roof. And it is seemed that basically her full-time job is sitting in her front yard and screaming at people the instant that they get out of their car.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Hearing that immediately, I'm like, you should not buy a house that has been in a show unless you're prepared or want the clout involved with it. The repercussions of it. Dude,
Starting point is 00:24:51 that sounds like a win. You get free pizza. Yeah, off the roof. Evan's sitting up on his roof, workaholic style, just catching the free pizza on the roof with a pizzazz and a lawn chair. It's so funny, Ryan, because I was just thinking about
Starting point is 00:25:05 what it would be like to own the fast and furious house. You know, like the legendary Fast and Furious house. People always pulling up at odd hours with loud cars, most likely. Taking pictures of it and everything. But do you think somebody
Starting point is 00:25:21 owns that house, or is that like part of whatever is that Disney that owns Fast and Furious who I doubt it I've seen stuff with it where they have signs in the yard that say like no photos and stuff like that but you think someone who's smart would be like all right you want to take a picture of your car in the driveway 10 bucks yeah or or open it up as like a museum or yeah well that's what that's what intrigued me is like what what decides uh whether it's going to be a let's call it a museum a how a show house or a house that just goes on the market they should just all be museums you know what else is a legendary house is the one from home alone i think that yeah that is actually a tourist attraction home alone
Starting point is 00:26:02 and then full house in san diego too oh yeah yeah that one's like you can't buy that all right can't play some videos i wonder if she drives a Pontiac aztec now she's stupid little twig i don't know now she's the fuck out i will call the cops you're harassing me get out now she's just the meme like they don't even go to the house yeah they're going they go to see this lady who's going to scream at them that's what i mean so they were they went there and they were bummed that she wasn't there hi hey hey no hey i like it i think it's stylish this lady just hates life i kind of like her vibe actually
Starting point is 00:26:52 I just want to say, hello, you're having a good day. Hey, this is our first time in Albuquerque. No, I'm so glad for you. Do you have any welcome messages? No, you can keep going. Okay. It's hard on this, but if you could quickly scroll through TikTok, it's just a bunch of videos of her sitting in that exact chair
Starting point is 00:27:13 screaming at passerby or anybody that stops there. And one of them, the guy didn't even get on his car. He's like, nope, no, no, keep going, keep going. I hate to say it, but now she's just doing it to herself. That's what I mean. Now it becomes a thing you've got to go there to go mess with her. Yeah. Man, that's kind of funny, actually.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Like, she's putting in shifts. Yeah, in the front yard. Where is this? Albuquerque, New Mexico. Should we swing through there on the road trip? Do we have anybody that lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico? Can send us a hello from her? Toss a pizza up there?
Starting point is 00:27:43 Can somebody that lives there actually go there and take a... Be so funny. Are we telling someone to trespass right now? No. No, no. Stay on the road. Oh, yeah, you're right. Dude, I don't think you could trespass.
Starting point is 00:27:53 I don't think you get over that fence without, like, a little ladder. What am? I'm not very tall. I could jump that fence. No, it's chance. No, go back. Pull that back up. There's no chance.
Starting point is 00:28:05 It has spikes on the top. They don't want to catch a sack. You just got to be careful. Throw your sweatshirt over the spikes. You'll end up like that deer that got it's nuts. Ken ain't jump enough spike fence. But look at her. She's got a couple chairs in the front yard set up there.
Starting point is 00:28:20 She's got another fence to her. door oh look at that oh my gosh man she's got this thing locked up like fort knox well i do feel a bit bad then if like it's become that much of an issue bro she must love that house i know i'd be like i'm getting the fuck out here she's probably try to sell it's i was going to say how do you think it affects the price is it worth way less is it worth more like how did she end up i don't know it's one it's one of those novelty things or maybe she i saw a really funny one she goes the show engine the show ended eight years ago give it up oh what she doesn't realize and this isn't my opinion but there's kind of a meme she doesn't realize it's the best show ever made is like a lot a lot of
Starting point is 00:28:59 no that again not my opinion but a lot of people are like breaking bad is like the the pinnacle of i really like the show but i'm really laughing at the fact that this house has a new roof you know it has a steel roof it's not not shingles anymore so the pizzas would slide off oh yeah did you do that Look a pizza. Yeah, did you do that after the pizza debacle or what? When we flew into Jackson Hole when we went snowmobiling a couple weeks ago, the people who wrote Yellowstone nailed it. I literally looked around and I thought I was in the show because there's people walking around.
Starting point is 00:29:34 First of all, you get off the plane and it's amazing, the mountains and the nice airport, nicest airport I've ever been in. You walk in, you walk in the baggage claim, there's free. Mimosis. It's crazy. Not even at a bar. No. They're just on a little stand.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Like a lemonade stand, but for free mimosis. That was the best way to put it. It was a lemonade stand for free mimosis. It was the crazy. No, they didn't check a single ID. No. It was wild. Dude, there was this guy on the plane who looked exactly like the one guy that
Starting point is 00:30:06 tried to shut him down. The first big business man, I'll pop up his picture here. But he's got this flowing hair. He's wearing like a Montclair or whatever that brand is. really fancy skiing brand i don't even fucking know puffer jacket like kind of uh adventure pants and he's walking around the one that had the cowboy hat yeah and he walks out of first class and he's throwing his hair back first of all took a shit like nine times i don't even there's something going on with him for sure but i was keeping an eye on this guy i was right in front of
Starting point is 00:30:34 the bathroom and i was like dude what is this guy doing but every time he'd walk up he'd pick a new person he'd be like what's you doing hey first time in jackson like he was going back home to his freaking ski mansion and I was like man no wonder people that live out here hate these people they were so so hateable there was a guy wearing a shawl well like a like a poncho but like a little bit more westerny and he was just wearing it in the airport I'm like dude you flew delta first class to jackson hole you're going to go skiing what why do you look like you just are traversing the Oregon trail on a horse on a horse yeah when when me and Ryan got there they lost our baggage so we're like going
Starting point is 00:31:14 up and we're dealing with the people at Delta and as we're standing there there was a lady next to us that was also dealing with lost baggage from our flight and the guy was like standing there and you could tell he was getting a little hotter and hotter because then he started raising his voice and then that's when me and started watching what was going on the guy goes I have no clothes to wear and I'm here for five days and the lady's like I don't know what to tell and he goes, I'm from L.A. I don't have clothes for this anyways. And the lady's like, well, what's the problem then?
Starting point is 00:31:50 And he's like, don't raise your voice at me. She's like, don't raise your voice at me. They're trying to calm them down. What the fuck is going on? Like, these two are just yelling at each other right now. This guy just kept bringing up that he was from California. It was the weirdest shit ever. It was like, do not a flex right now.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Yeah, not a flex. And I was like, man, this is why all these Californians moving here, just get such a bad rep is because obviously there's probably people that hate California and then there's people that are in love with California but want to move out of California but bring all their politics and problems to the mountain towns but it was interesting we were talking to Blaine who is one of the well yeah yeah well for some reason I thought you were CJ first I blacked out there I looked over like you weren't with on the trip you know Blaine yeah yeah you know Blaine no but Blaine is like a full-on-time
Starting point is 00:32:41 cowboy rancher and he was like yeah dude like it's pretty much exactly how it is in the show is like all these ranch hands you know like we're all kind of we're rough around the edges real cowboys right so then when we go into towns especially jackson he's like all these pretend cowboys like will be pretend cowboys and real cowboys do not fuck with that one bit and he was like yeah pretty much every time we go out we get into bar fights and everything like that and I was like, damn, that's pretty cool to hear it. Like, it's pretty cool here. That's, like, actually how it is.
Starting point is 00:33:15 I would not wear a cowboy hat in Jackson. No. I would not. I feel like it'd just be insulting. I wouldn't wear a cowboy hat anywhere. Well, okay, true. And I don't wear it. I effed up then.
Starting point is 00:33:25 I did that. Did you remember when I wore? It tucked in jeans in my cowboy boots. I remember. A big-ass American flag button up and then a cowboy hat and then handlebars out downtown Jackson. I seemed to fit in pretty well with that whole. look but maybe Jackson is almost more phony cowboys it was like the out oh for sure outskirts like uh like draggs afton afton the places that we've went yeah for a limited
Starting point is 00:33:52 time at mcdonalds enjoy the tasty breakfast trio your choice of chicken or sausage macmuffin or mcgrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery but you saying that about blaine like so shout out anthony and creed they hooked us up with some airbags and like the sled that we tried to use to take the r6 out they lived in driggs idaho and he you know he dudes like mullet what hat you know the the classic short sleeve button up like he he looked like you know he grew up there and he's like i grew up in jackson actually and got pushed out like firsthand story he's like you know he's like i grew up there
Starting point is 00:34:31 like tell i was i can't remember what he said let's say 15 and then we had to move it was too expensive i'm like oh that sucks you know he didn't move super far away but like just getting pushed of the town that you grew up in just because of rich people. But that was pretty interesting to hear. We were talking about this when we were going through Wyoming. And we were like, why do you think all these people are coming from the big cities and like moving into these small little Wyoming or western towns? I think it is because it's so different.
Starting point is 00:35:02 You know, it's like it's so just almost like freeing and like open. And if I guess you are from like a big city. and you're looking to escape that like that's like the polar opposite yeah seriously it's it's it's cool so i get the draw of it but obviously the people that are there are like no stay no stay away that's why we like it too everybody can't be there i mean we live in like a pretty rural area you i mean you see stars from our house and there's not fast food restaurants for a while stuff like that but i mean you go out there and if you think about switching from you know san diego and then now all of a sudden you're living in Afton, Wyoming, it literally could not be more polar opposite,
Starting point is 00:35:45 but I totally get the draw. Like, even for me going out there and not playing cowboy, but playing, you know, living Western life still is amazing to me. I'm like, I love this for the week that we're out there. So I, of course, those people. You ever met somebody from there that wants to move away? Uh, no. Very rarely do people grow up there and then leave.
Starting point is 00:36:06 And it's crazy how many people we meet from, let's say, say just Wisconsin and Minnesota out there. Dude, I think we would be better off getting a ranch out there or getting land out there than we would in Florida, honestly. I think the fit is a little better. I think we could do more stuff out there. The nice thing about Florida is the weather. You get the generic nice day every day.
Starting point is 00:36:29 But I like the seasons and stuff like that. And I think the level up with all the national lands and then the mountains and having a bunch of eight. acreage, dude, not much could beat it. Can't ride snowmobiles in Florida. You can. Just not very far. No, it would be cool, though.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Maybe one day. Wait, is anyone ever water skipped on the ocean? I'm sure. Robbie Madison. Oh, yeah, true. I have thought that. We could bring the water sled or the water slip. And it was like the sickest thing ever.
Starting point is 00:37:00 He surfed away. Yeah. No, insane. Insane. And then didn't he get like totally like pommel drive into the, or pile drive into the like wave uh i don't i don't know maybe not so how can he ride one in the ocean but evan can't even make it 200 feet across our pond well yeah what i mean yeah micha's snow bike is not as nice as robby you should look at the setup they have though it's like it's the weirdest thing
Starting point is 00:37:27 it's like a ski where the the front is all basically a ski watercraft still has a tire though but then the back has a ski but the tire sticks through and it's a dune tithe and it paddles the water. And it's like the weirdest thing. So he's one of a kind. That was not a snow bike or anything. No track, no nothing. Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Yeah, super weird. Dude, he literally, like, pitted a wave, though. Hang loose, bro. I don't think I've, I've never seen anybody snowmobile skip in the ocean, though. Who said, yeah, whoever said that? No, I think about it. I don't think that. Obviously, we're, like, one Google away from finding out if someone has.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Can look it up. But, like, I have something. Like, that would be pretty sick. Snow and an ocean. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably in Florida. Someone's done it, but probably not anybody who is popularized it. But I'm picturing, like, so, you know, as you guys might know,
Starting point is 00:38:16 CJ is the water skip guy. Like, he's the best at riding that water skip sled we have. And so we're like in Florida and we're like, the waves are a little gnarly today and they're like this tall. Do you think you could just, you know, just stay on it? Can you imagine taking off the beach at a 15 foot wave and just... Dude, I was thinking like four foot and you'd probably sinker and... Well, I guess, yeah, you'd want to go, the bigger the better.
Starting point is 00:38:41 If you just charged a surfing wave on a snowmobile, she'd be amazing. I feel like if Whistling Diesel can take his Durhamax truck in the ocean, we can take a snowmobile. Think about recovering the snowmobile from an ocean. In a lake, like maybe you have the pontoon set up or you drag it to shore or whatever. But the ocean gets deep fast. But it really doesn't.
Starting point is 00:39:03 That's a crazy thing. It depends. But like even the waves, like, if we got to link up with jets, ski Ryan and make this happen dude I feel like hitting a wave a curling ocean wave would be like the same as hitting a drift maybe you could come up it and like turn out on it and then come back yeah maybe we should start with Ryan landing a jet ski backflip in the ocean and then and then focus on CJ back flipping a water skipping sled if if Ryan lands the backflip on the jet ski CJ has to go for a backflip on the snowmobile dude I honestly I think this is a great idea we got it we got a
Starting point is 00:39:37 jet ski, Ryan. Let's send it down with Randy next time he goes. He's got a sled deck with a stand-up jet ski and a snowmobile on it. What's this guy doing? Ryan, you don't think you could back-flipp a stand-up jet ski? What if it was like a back-flip jet ski? It's so tough because in 2021 when I started, I was like, I can back-flip my jet ski. And then it took a whole year and I didn't.
Starting point is 00:40:00 And then I was like, I'm coming back with a vengeance in 2022. I'm going to flip my back-flip jet ski. And then I didn't. And then now I've kind of lost. I don't feel like it's a third time's a charm type of deal, you know? I don't know, man. Until you find out. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:14 I wouldn't give up so soon. Two years. Don't give up so soon, man. Dude, we were just talking about the other day at the bar. We were laughing about how much, like, when someone gets stuck in a snowmobile, let's say they're at the bar, you're all there, everyone's drinking, and he's like, all right, I'm going to head home. And then he gets stuck in a snowmobile.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Everyone inside the bar rushes out to help him, not maybe everyone. but because they don't want to see him get picked up by anyone or they're a fallen soldier yeah like no man left behind yeah help him exactly and we were just cracking up about that like how they all like go and help them because they don't want to see him like anyone get picked up and and you know that that shit happens around here and then just transitioning into me seeing someone back they're just taking the road next to recycling bins close to here and they just back up into the ditch I'm just driving by. I'm like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:41:07 What was that? Yeah. Me and Sydney were just driving by. I go, what, did you see that? That person just backed into the ditch? I don't know. And next thing you know, we're turning around. We're going to check on her.
Starting point is 00:41:17 She's just wasted. But keep in mind, it was a Sunday, New Year's Day at like noon. And she is just wasted. The mimosis. Yeah, I don't know. And then it just got even funny. He was like, well, you sit tight there. And she's barely in the ditch is stuck.
Starting point is 00:41:33 And she's like, And I go get ropes, come back, then really get to talking to her. That's kind of when I knew. I was like, man, she's just messed up right now. And she's like, she's got her name tag on. She's like, I just got done with my shift at. I won't even say it. I don't want to like, I don't, I could.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Probably don't say it. She's like, I just got done with my, but basically she works at a store, not a bar, a store. Oh. So then I'm just like, okay, it was New Year's Day. Like, you know, she could have gotten crazy. and then that next day she maybe you just woke up drunk and but no it was just like i just got done with my shift i'm like what are you doing so i'm on so then it's like yeah then it's tough because it's like so i guess moral of the story is like what do you do in a situation like that where i
Starting point is 00:42:20 start to pull her out like we kind of hinted at should we can drive your car home for you and she's like oh i'm just over just just down i decided to take a different way home i'm like there's two ways to get home buy the kron store or this right road you just took a different like you never took this no you backed in like it's like how much do you push someone to like try to drive them home safely or just be like it's out of my hands what did you do we just let her go oh geez i feel like you i feel like you gotta be persistent on that like something like a random stranger there's only so much you can do your buddy yes be persistent don't let your buddy do something dumb i guess that's what i was really like that stressed me out
Starting point is 00:43:03 I'm like, what do you do? Do you really, like, be like, no, you need to get out. We're going to drive this for you. Like, to a random person. Yeah, that's like a tough, tough moral dilemma. I guess it is one thing if you did try and you were persistent about it or just like pulling her out and just be like, all right. See you.
Starting point is 00:43:21 See you. Then you're probably in the wrong. But I guess if you're like trying. Tosser at Twisted T. That's tough. Have a good one. Have a good one. I feel like that's a tough thing that a lot of people do that I see.
Starting point is 00:43:33 they're like oh well i don't want to i don't want to drive after drinking so i'm going to just ride my snowmobile or i'm going to take the razor i'm going to do something like that and that's something i really hate to see because i mean yes in a car you're a danger to yourself and others but on the snowmobile it is so you are so exposed and it is such a fast vehicle that is so easy to overdrive i overdrive a snowmobile every time i ride it of my talents and it's like all you're you need is to be just getting done telling snowmobile stories at the bar and be like i'm going to absolutely rip home and and then you end up not getting to ride the next time and like i just think that that is such like a loose thing that people don't realize the consequences of how fast things
Starting point is 00:44:20 can change like that when you're riding slides so i mean i don't know i didn't mean to start preaching but don't don't drive your snowmobile drunk please be safe we love you all nowadays snowmobiles are really fast and she can go wrong real quick And the old ones make you feel comfortable. Even though you're only going 40, you're like, this thing's easy. And then before you know, boom. Yeah, it's like riding a couch.
Starting point is 00:44:40 I guess maybe it's just around here. Maybe it's just the fact that we don't ride snowmobiles, like on the weekend or something like that. But, yeah, I've never really got the gist of, like, bar hopping on a snowmobile. Hey, got any wine left back there? I wish. Evan needs a refill. Ryan, I owe you an apology.
Starting point is 00:45:00 As far as I have. Robot, Dick Strikes. Maybe Evan owes an apology. Dude, every other sentence out of Evan's mouth is just smoke coming out. Because he'll take a rip and then he'll answer whatever I asked him.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Smoke, smoke, smoke. Dude, that's because you stressed me out. Like, oh God, Ben's coming over. I got to chill out here. So, I mean, today I realize this it was so funny. so Evan's dad, like, smokes Stogies, like big cigars, you know, there's varying levels to it, but just big cigars, loves fishing, big cigars.
Starting point is 00:45:40 And you have this football, Vikings football-looking vape. Screw the Vikings. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And a lot of people, you know, they vape, like, or whatever. And then when Evan does it, he throws in his mouth and just chills with it in there and then grabs it like this. And I was like, oh, his dad's showing here, but it's just the times of change, that's all. Every time F-Takes rip that, he's thinking about the Minnesota Vikings, putting that vape in his mouth. That's actually where I was going, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:46:10 I owe you an apology. Okay. You were right about the vikes. You were so right, dude. At the beginning of the season, they were hot. We were like, this is the year. And Ryan was like, they're going to get everyone's hopes up. They're going to make you think that they're killing it.
Starting point is 00:46:28 And then they're going to disappoint us. They've only done it a hundred times in the past. You were right, Ryan. I was trying to be positive. I was, quite frankly, I was being delusional. And you were being a realist and you were right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was right.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I wish I wasn't. Yeah. For the whole state of Minnesota, dude. I wish I wasn't right. With that being said, though, Ryan has lost more than any of us combined on the vikes. He bet $500 on the last Vikings game. I didn't listen to my own words. I was a little confused by that.
Starting point is 00:47:03 I think it was something about, like, you kind of would get on me about, you know, like, oh, Ryan hates the vikes and you do it, and I wouldn't have any ground to stand on. You believed it? He started to put it on it. Yeah, maybe I do hate the vikes. No, I just would be like, oh, man, I don't have any ground to stand. I'm like, oh, you want a jersey, I watch the games. I like them.
Starting point is 00:47:24 You know, what do you say? So, playoffs come up. We're playing the Giants. They're the wild card. There's no way we can lose to them. Right. Yeah. We've had such a good season.
Starting point is 00:47:34 We should win. So I'm like, yeah. Wade, our lovely UPS driver who's going to Vegas, he, you know, kind of is like, guys, let's put in a bet. Let's put in a bet. And I go, yeah, Wade, let's do it. 500 bucks on the vikes. All they got to do is win. That can't be that hard.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Sounds easy enough. 500 bucks gone. Lost it. Yeah, I was actually, I was going to also put in some money and bet on the vikes. And then Ryan and CJ, they wouldn't let me Because anything I touch turns to shit Yes, he's a notoriously bad investor Bad investor
Starting point is 00:48:10 We'll crash the entire market Bad gambler and bad better And so I went to give him Wade the money And they were like, no, no, don't take the money Wade Don't take the money And I was like Well, what if I put it on the Giants
Starting point is 00:48:25 And then if the Vikes win I'm gonna be happy And if the Giants went I make money And they were like, just keep your money out of this. Just stay away from, just stay away from the deal. Looking back at it, I think if I would have put money on the Giants, the Vikes would have won. Thanks a lot, man.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Thanks a lot, Ben. So I messed up there, guys. I'm sorry. I could have made a difference. Instead of Kirk throwing at five yards, he would have thrown at nine. Yeah, he would have, and this one's on me, guys. So I'm sorry, I let everyone in Minnesota. it down.
Starting point is 00:49:01 I'm going to use the offseason to obviously work on it and come back stronger next year. I'll put money on the other teams. And if you notice any new large structures coming up in Vegas, CJ and I have funded them. Yeah. Your guys is $700 is going to go far. Absolutely. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:49:19 We'll put in a parking spot or something. All this Vegas and gambling talk. Can you wrapped up out? I've really got a hankering for some roulette right now. Oh, good. Really? I would love to play some roulette. Dude, I'm feeling lucky.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Yeah? I think I could get rich tonight. Should we go to Vegas? I was going to say, Menormon. They don't have roulette in Minnesota. Really? Dude, last night we were throwing dice on the pool table like we sometimes do. And I always get suckered in.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Like, you know, it's five bucks here and there. But I come in, I'm just like, yeah, yeah, five bucks. And then you guys are like 20 and I go, ah, 20, 20. Yeah, 20. And so, dude, I've already lost three grand this week on a surrog. that i'm not so we're putting it in the five bucks game like they lose those whatever and then evan goes last game 20 bucks sure we all put 20 bucks and there's a group of like seven of us or whatever it was eight of us and then we all one tie all ties so if two people tie everyone ties we put
Starting point is 00:50:15 in more 20 more then happens again put in 20 more the pot's at like 420 oh my gosh 400 bucks three times yeah and it was over 400 and i'm like i win and i'm like amazing and i'm like amazing I just don't even know how to take it. I was like, it seems too easy. I win, and I'm like, amaze. Oh, yeah, I'm not amazing. I'm just like, this is amazing. And it just doesn't even seem fair.
Starting point is 00:50:40 I'm like, I just kind of, like, walked into this game through some money down. And like, next thing I know, I walk away with pretty much all the money in everyone's wallet. How about when you gave everyone money back? Then, I was like, then I just, I don't know why I'm built like this, but I give everyone five, mostly to be funny, but I'm like, such a philanthropist. Five bucks, five bucks. Just like tipping. the yeah yeah almost like tipping out that's what it felt like and then Evan just goes
Starting point is 00:51:03 another game another game for five bucks dude it was so and I'm like because I just couldn't believe it even though why was I surprised we all play another game for five bucks and then I win that one sorry guys did you take the money and walk then I mean I just lost like a hundred what's this five dollars like might as well just gamble that too that was a good time though that's the mindset of I think if anybody's ever thinking about going to the casino you know it's it's a risky maneuver just don't do it yeah just don't do it you could even end the sentence there yeah nothing further needs to be said but we went to the arcade
Starting point is 00:51:41 this past weekend arcades are fun yeah in arcade is just a casino with less money and more fun and four kids for yeah but if you take the four kids out of it it makes it a little weird we were definitely the oldest people running around to be honest no we weren't yeah they were older but they had their kids i mean i saw a few so we could go in there and they were like yeah you can drink in there like that's kind of cool i mean if you guys ever been to a david busters yeah you can drink in there but i roll in and it's like all i see as kids and i'm like it felt kind of weird even if i can drink in here this is weird i thought it was funny that we were doing like this uh dry january trying not to drink
Starting point is 00:52:26 Well, I guess I wasn't, but a couple people in the group were like, we're doing dry January. And then right after we got done golfing, everyone was like, should we go downtown? I was like, go downtown to the bars? What do you mean? No, let's not do that. That sounds terrible for the people that are sober. They're like trying to be sober. And then I was like, well, what if we just go to the arcade?
Starting point is 00:52:50 We go downstairs, go to the arcade. I swear everyone that was like doing dry January, I was like, this sucks. Like, what else do you do when you're sober? You're like, this is just one of those things. What else is there to do? I'm a big advocate. What else is there to do? You can't go to the arcade.
Starting point is 00:53:06 There's nothing. So I failed dry January. I didn't start until after Idaho. So I started on like the 15th. And then I made it, which is Wednesday. I thought you were going to say the fifth or something. I mean, it was the 15th. And then I was like, all right, dry January here on out.
Starting point is 00:53:25 and I made it Wednesday, Thursday, and then I drank on Friday. But I don't blame myself. I was a good couple days. Your liver thanks to you and my lack of self-control. I blame my surroundings. Yeah. Yeah, they don't take accountability.
Starting point is 00:53:41 No, absolutely not. It's not my fault that I broke. If I had been around better people that didn't take me out to a golfing drinking establishment and then take me to a drinking games environment and then tease me with the carrot of going downtown. Oh, though. Ken, are you doing dry January?
Starting point is 00:54:02 Hey, Ryan, I've been doing dry January since the 7th when I got home from Florida. And I went through all the same places and I still haven't had a drink since. I am impressed. You know, if you do the longest, Ken, I'm going to have a drink since he turned 21. It is.
Starting point is 00:54:19 That's awesome. I think it is. How do you feel, Ken? Do you feel good? Extremely bored. Ken was one of the people in the arcade like, fuck this. You kind of was. Well, then I went to the, they had a blackjack table there and I go play blackjack.
Starting point is 00:54:36 I'm like, God, I just need a drink. I just need a beer or a vodka rebel or something. We make it so much more entertaining. Look at the look at his eyes right now. He's talking about alcohol getting all rationed up, Ken. See, I could quit any time I wanted to. I just wanted it. I didn't need it like him.
Starting point is 00:54:50 But that's what I was going to say, is that I'm not about, like, all right, I need to take two weeks off, mostly because I know I can't do it. But pause for laugh. Pause for laugh. Amen. But if it happens, it happens. I have always respected about you. The self-awareness. The self-awareness is just, it's off the charts, man.
Starting point is 00:55:19 I'm so proud of you for that. What is the point of calling it dry January if you started the 15th or you started the 7th? Well, really, I mean, it's easier to explain to people. Oh, why aren't you drinking? Yeah, dry January. It's easy to explain. But, bro, I'm not. Doing dry January is exactly like having a heated jacket or going to cross-fit.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Yeah, you're like, you can't tell everybody. It is. You can't do dry January without telling everyone you're doing dry January. What about, uh. No, not November. Did that pan out for you guys? Wait, pan out. Who does that?
Starting point is 00:55:55 I sure didn't. Yeah. No, that is one of those things. I'm like, legit. Like, who does that? Do people still do that? I think the same thing about dry January. They're both bullshit.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Like, I think I'm, I like no shave November. Like, do with that what you will. It can be your beard. Could you be your whole body? Like, that's fun. That's funny. It changes your look. Doesn't hurt anybody.
Starting point is 00:56:18 But no, not November. That hurts people. Me too I was going to make a joke But it just didn't feel right Yeah it's fine Did you guys Other than dry January
Starting point is 00:56:31 Which we've obviously all failed Did anybody have any other New Year's resolutions That they haven't kept up with? Oh shit I forgot to set those Have already like Abandon ship on
Starting point is 00:56:42 Yeah I legit Yeah I actually I told myself I was gonna start working out Classic That's a really Wait, I do have a question on that.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Did you ever start working out this year? Well, wait, this year? This year. After you said, I'm going to start working out this year. No, no. He still haven't gotten to the gym once. I still haven't gotten in the gym once. And I wasn't going to call you all for it, but I don't think he has.
Starting point is 00:57:10 No, yeah, I abandoned ship immediately after I told myself that. So, yeah, that one's not going too well. Where you went right is not telling. telling everybody. Yeah, I didn't tell. If I'd never told anybody I was doing dry January, there'd be no fuss. There would be no hubbub about me ordering crown lemonade's today at dinner.
Starting point is 00:57:32 So if you'd been like, oh, I'm going to work out every day. And the first day or not at the gym, people would have noticed. Dude, I just quit right away. Move in silence. Hey, quit before you start. Exactly. It's what I always say. No, what do we always say?
Starting point is 00:57:45 If you're going to give up, just give up right away. What's the point of dragging it out? It's also never too late to give up. Yeah, basically the thing, if you're going to give up, give up now because you're probably going to fail anyway. There's such awful advice. Can you see that? Just a picture, like an inspirational picture, black and white,
Starting point is 00:58:04 and cursive writing. If you're going to give up, just give up right away. Ben Roth. Just do it. Just give up. So my girlfriend, Alondra, who has much. stronger willpower than me apparently said going into the new year she's like i'm going to start more consistently working out she wrote it down and was like i'm going to drink more water i'm going to
