Smurfs, now playing. Soundtrack out now. The sole reason I didn't tell you, Ken, is because you got a loud mouth. Someone else go buy this thing, so Ken, Can't. Hey, Greg. What was his name before? On a beach.

No, no, it was not blacked out. Drifted his cyber truck into my Lamborghini. Damn, Ken, that car's going to be older than the mom's riding in it. Finally proposed to his girlfriend. What'd she say, Ben? So, how's everybody's Monday? It's going great, bro. Happy to be here.

Yeah, a little round of applause for Ben. Thank you guys. Thank you guys. Big weekend. Finally proposed to his girlfriend, his longtime girlfriend of nine years. Emphasis on finally. It really was insane. What'd she say, Ben?

She said yes, boys. Yeah. If she didn't, dude, that would have been more surprising, I would say. I was assuming that she was going to say yes, but it definitely did not make the whole experience less stressful. Well, if anything, it was more riding on it. I wasn't concerned about her answer. I just was concerned about everything else going right.

There were so many moving factors. and she told me a while back, she was like, there is zero percent chance that you will be able to surprise me. Zero. She was like, I know you so well

that there's no chance that you can surprise me. And I was like, okay, bet. Like, those are fighting words. Yeah, especially for me,

like that I live my life for surprises. Yeah. Nothing gets me off more than a good surprise. I mean, you guys see it in the videos. Like, it doesn't really matter who it is,

whether it's Gavin or Evan. Yeah. Mike it's not an option for it to to be leaked yeah no exactly so I took that like very seriously and when I tell you guys Greta said something about like not being married or like me proposing or somebody saying something to her about us not being married a lot like she said something every single day for the last like year yeah holy shit you were really strong you held out a while like like she's been uh I wouldn't say like nagging But, like,

mentioning. Probably not a good term. She made it very clear that, you know, she wanted me to get it done. Mm-hmm. And so it was really tough because I've known about it, you know, the last like six months that I was going to do it.

You know, so when she brings it up, what am I going to say? Yeah, you're just like, I'm going to do it. Yeah, yeah, it's coming and just chill. You know, you just have to steer her almost away. Yeah. And like a couple weeks ago, she was like really on one.

because like we've gone and looked at rings like a couple times but she's super uh wasn't sure what she wanted okay indecisive she was like the fact that you haven't asked me to go and look at rings again oh no puts it back even farther and you've already made the call and no i already had the ring so you already had you're probably like yeah it does and she was like like every time we'd go to town she'd be like is there anything else you want to do like because she wanted to like keep looking at them to like make her decision did you ever think to go look with her to like Keep her off your trail? Yeah.

I had, like, looked at a couple different places, right? So, like, these people knew that I had already, like, pulled the trigger on them. So I was like, oh, is there any more in town that we could go to that would be like... That they don't know. Yeah, that they don't know. We went to town a couple of weeks ago and was, like, kind of just like, are we going to go and look or not? Like, why have you not asked me to go and look again? And I was like, you know, you got to call ahead and, like, make an appointment and it's a little short notice.

and I'm, you know, I'm busy next week with things. Oh, man. And stuff. And I was like, how about, like, we go and look on, like, the 26th when we're home, which would be next week? And she was like, okay. All right, that sounds good. Oh, that's good.

I wonder if you got in the dog house then. So she was, like, under the assumption that we were going to look at rings when we got home, which is next weekend, or this weekend, actually. And so, like, after that happened, I was like, okay, I think I'm, like, in the clear where, like, she won't be spooked because, like, she's, like I said, just antennas have been up and she was like just waiting for it after that i was like i think like now i'm a little bit more in the clear where she's not going to be quite as like is it coming this trip because she thinks we're going to look at rings like when we when we get home it would have sucked too if you

would have like gone beforehand and then like for some reason she was like i want this and just completely changed up what you already had i was concerned about that too in that moment like they're all good you know but then just like fully changes up and then you're like well what the i'm sitting here like you can't really bring it back yeah so yeah no i was i was definitely nervous about just like all of it going well and uh i didn't tell many people i told you guys like right before uh i had no idea i left well i did you know i was pretty selective of the people that i i told ken probably did not know did ken know i did not tell ken i mean i knew so so so keep in mind me ken and gavin just spent like 48 hours in the car

together yeah and me and gavin were talking the entire time so i told gavin but the car is so loud the car is so loud i figured ken was in the back seat just like one not paying attention and two couldn't hear me to begin with apparently he could the sole reason i didn't tell you ken is because you got a loud mouth like we've been saying that i just assumed you didn't tell i just assumed i didn't even i didn't even ask when we have a surprise make sure that ken doesn't find out it's not that you deliberately tell you just would forget and then like maybe say something at like dinner or something yeah oh yeah so let me remind me i'm going to circle back on this okay there's a reason i didn't tell ken okay yeah i mean i kind of you know mentioned it to a couple people and i told

dalton and uh i was like how do you feel about like coming out and being like the videographer and photographer for it and you know don't's a beast he was like of course he had some experience with mike yeah he was camo man yeah yeah he was cammoed up in the woods for Mike and so I flew Dalton out and then he shot all the photos for it but yeah I was pretty selective of like who I told and I tried to keep it low but like I don't know I feel like I have so many surprises like I'm sitting on like 20 surprises right now just for like future videos but for some reason that one I like couldn't help myself but like tell at least a couple of you guys and then I didn't tell you Mike because I didn't know you're not that good at holding surprises

either and you didn't tell me why you kind of fell into the same bucket is like these guys where I was like I trust you but I don't trust you liquor it up where I was like I was like I don't know what could happen when you get liquor it up and then it's just like a flip of a switch where it's just like all you just might start blasting on Facebook or something you know yeah I don't know I don't know on Twitter kind of a wild card there so you kind of just fell into that bucket but yeah so I did it out in big sky Montana we've like gone out there for forever and like I just like love that area. So I had to figure out where I was doing it. I was doing it like right on the ski hill

next to Greta's parents' house. So I had to think of a way to get Greta like one dressed up without being like, hey, like, you know, we're going on the hardest parts. Well, yeah. So not, I didn't want to do it like skiing on the ski hill. Because I figured she'd want to be like dressed up or like, you know, looking cute for like the photos and everything after. And so like the whole trip. And so like the whole trip i just kept being like hey greto can you uh like take some snaps for me and try and like get her used to just like taking snaps like basically whenever we're hanging out like hey take a snap for me yeah so like greto's kind of on like snap duty throughout the weekend of like you know we'd be skiing i'd be like hey get a photo of me i was just standing there she's in just trying

to keep it cool and then uh like when the time came her parents were like who were in on it they were like, you know, we're going out to dinner at 7 o'clock. Everybody be ready at 6.30. So, like, the whole family was out there for Easter. There was, like, 20 of them. None of them knew except for her parents. Oh, really? Yep.

So everyone was in the dark, except for her mom and dad. And, uh, did they play it off well? Oh, they played off the best. Yeah, it was so good. But they were like, you know, everyone get ready so we can leave the house at 630. And so, like, the whole family gets ready all for just, like, Greta was the only person that technically needed to, like, get ready. but like the whole family gets ready nobody has any idea like what's coming and like of course

everyone's ready except for greta oh no like so keep in mind i fly dalton out he shows up he shows up he shows up at like 530 right and i like tell him all right this is where you got to get to walk in from the backside walk down the ski hill and then meet and then you roll them up into a snowman yeah yeah yeah roll around in the snow disguised as a snowman and then stance up in the trees right here so he's like okay i'm like sending them screenshots over google maps like drop off here walk here it's about three miles holy no it's not that bad but you know so he's trucking through the snow with his tripods and three cameras and all this stuff and uh so i like run out of the house and i meet them there pop up this video of like actually how camouflage doughton was in the trees like

Dude, I knew where he was, and I couldn't even find him. Really? Did you have a gilly suit on? I just had normal camel on this time. I should have worn the gillies suit there because it was freezing. Yeah, so he stances up at like 5.30, right? And I was like, okay, bro, I'm going to have her out here by like 6.15. I brought him a couple blankets and everything. So I'm going to have her out here by like 615.

So I'll try and be like as on the ball as possible. But of course, like things just, you know, happen. Grun is the last one to get ready. her dad's running around the house being like all right people let's go we got dinner plans and i'm like he's looking at you yeah yeah exactly you know greta's like i just don't know what to wear and i'm like oh my god she like goes up to her mom's bedroom and she's like looking through her clothes and like doing her hair and uh her mom like walks in and she's you know starting to get antsy too and greta's like trying to do this new like blow dryer hair thing oh man and cindy's like what are you

doing today is not the day to be trying new things with your hair oh no so cindy's like fixing her hair luckily i mean she wasn't like suspicious of all the things happening because like it's pretty standard of like everyone's you know like trying to like hurry the whole family up and finally she's like getting ready and i'm like hey uh can you before we go can you come and take a snapchat for me and she's like of like both of us or just you and i didn't want to be like both of us because then her sister would have been like oh i'll come and take the snap and i was just like just me and she's like okay she's sick of being my personal snapchatter at this point and so we like walk out and uh we like go to the ski hill and then like start walking up the ski hill because uh i had

dalton stanced up the hill and she was like oh it's a better view like up the hill a little how far was it i love it not that far like like 50 yards maybe or like 25 yards up the hill Far and she's like, the view is no different. Oh, man. Up the hill 20 yards than it is right here. There's so many things you say and do that make no sense at the time. Like to you, it makes all the sense in the world because you have a mission. So I'm just trying to get her like into the spot, right?

Because Dalton's like, all right, I need you right here because he's filming and taking photos. The film was on just a tripod, right? So it was just in a fixed position. And we're like walking up the hill and she's like nagging me. We really need to go up the hill for this. And I'm like, oh, it's a better view up here. She's like, well, give me your phone. And I, like, just texted Dalton, like, all right, we're on our way out.

And I was like, I didn't want to give her my phone because I didn't want Dalton to be like, all right, I'm ready for you or something like that. Yeah. You know, I start playing all these things out. And then she's like, doubles down. Like, come on, give me your phone. And Dalton's got photos of like her going, give me your phone. And then her going, come on, give me your phone.

And then like, I had a bunch of things planned to say, right? So this big moment. Yeah. A lack out. A lack out. No. Dude, one, I didn't even get. to the right spot that Dalton wanted me so like he was taking a video i don't i'm like barely half

in the frame is what it is i'm an idiot and then i'm like you know she's pressing me for my phone and i was just like fuck it drop down on a knee really she's looking at you or she's looking at me at this point and you just and i was like i was going to say a bunch of stuff before i dropped down and i was just kind of getting pressed so i was like getting nervous oh man blacked out dropped down on a knee and was just like greta will you marry me Right to it. Just right to it. Right to it.

Just right to it. And then, like, she has so, I don't want to say, like, little trust in me. But she has so little trust in me. She thought that I was playing a prank. Wow. That would have been diabolical. So she was, like, in shock, right? And then she, I think, was, like, questioning it.

And then I, like, you know. You didn't really change your demeanor. And then she was double in shock. right and then like literally out of body experience at this point and she's like oh my god like she doubled down like is this is this actually happening like this isn't a joke like this is this is happening and so like I I don't even know if I put the ring on I'm still trying to figure out what I said at this point and what she said like later in the night she was like did you put the ring on me and I was like did you say yes it was like it was so just like things were happening

Which is saying something for you to get like so in the middle of this surprise that you got so on like. Yeah, I mean, you're a professional. Yeah, you're like a professional in these pressure situations. Yeah. And I'm just saying something. Setting up a surprise like this. Yeah. No, I know.

It was like the most rookie thing I've ever done. And like we stand up, you know, we're hugging and kissing. And she did say yes. We figured out she said yes. She got the ring on. And we're like, oh my God. she's like oh my god and i'm just like just like the biggest relief of like wow wow this just just happened right still out of body she goes does does anyone know because she was like this

like it was so random and like she was so surprised no inkling at all she was like does anyone know and i was like well your parents know inside and i was like oh and dalton knows and i point over i point over into the trees and then that that was her reaction to seeing dalton which is like the greatest like carousel of pictures i think i've ever seen in my life right so this is me saying happy you are this is me saying dalton knows and then she's looking and then she's like what and then she sees him oh and then it gets even more where then she's like oh my god and then it was just like oh my god this is act this is just happened yeah because like i think up until that point she still wasn't sure if this was like a prank or not that is just sad ben

so much to this point that she thought it was a prank so once she realized that dalton was there and then at this point dalton comes out and he gives us a hug which is so funny like always the first guy yeah don't's the first man on the scene but so it must be something about seeing the photographer that makes it legit oh he really did plan this out yeah yeah it wasn't just like you just randomly spur of the moment yeah They're probably like, oh, I was hoping a camera guy would be here for this. And then they see, like, oh, perfect. Now I'm really happy.

And then, yeah, after that, like, Dalton comes out. He's, you know, gives us a hug. And then he's just, he's the man. He was just like, you on the ground. You right there snapping photos. And he's like, perfect. You guys up there, hold hands. And he's running around circles.

And he's snapping these photos. I'm like, God, dude. I've never seen you direct as hard as when you're doing exactly that. Yeah. So he's just. in and then at that point we walked down and then we get like back to the house and like her whole family was like filled in on on it at that point because my parents also came out and then like and surprised everyone her parents knew that they were coming but like as soon as my parents

walked in I think like the rest of the family was like oh shit like what's happening and then they put two and two together so like once we came down the hill everyone was there waiting for us I can see your dad just walking in cheese into as big as possible. Yeah, exactly. And, like, her dad and brothers were popping champagne. There's a photo of, like, both of her brothers spraying champagne. I was like, we are going to be good family because I spray champagne every time.

Any chance I get. In the last podcast, we talked about me spraying champagne. And then, yeah, we just celebrated, like, with the whole family. And Greta was surprised, like, my parents were there. Dalton was there snapping the whole thing. Dude, you kind of got, like, a freaking. knack for this the hiding in the bushes for hours now somebody's got to do it like we did the warm the winter what's like the next one you're underwater dude i don't know i'm gonna have to go to seal

training for a week like all the girlfriends are going to be expecting i gotta figure i'm gonna be in an airplane next time yeah don't get me a parasail yeah right he's got yeah you have like night vision goggles and a parachute and all this stuff and like dang were you in the navy or something no i'm just a really good wedding er you're underwater and you're like all right i only have minutes of air not like 25 minutes somebody starts walking out and he's just like you still get him breath for 30 seconds yeah for like yeah for another couple minutes he's running the amazon scuba tanks we got for gabin yeah dude that was one thing ben it's been i've been in the woods for like you know 25 minutes at this point and he texts me he goes sorry to mike you not you

i'm like oh gosh dude yeah i was like is this going to be two or three hours how long were you in the bushes for mics again? Two and some change. Holy shit. I think two hours. 90 degrees out. Dude, I think I pulled like eight ticks off of me. Well, for the record, he showed up hell early, which I can't say no to, but I'm like,

I don't have to show up that early and you're like, I don't want to fuck it up. This is true. I'll see you. Yeah. This is true. I did do it to myself. It's the severity of it where it's like the biggest moment, like, to date of my life, right? Where I don't know.

I guess a lot of people put like less emphasis on the surprise factor. of it, but, like, I don't know. I just wanted it to be, like, as organic of a surprise and, like, and it was. It truly was. Like, she had zero, zero clue that it was coming, which felt so good. Felt so good. So you got her. That made me so happy.

And, yeah, she was, and she still is. She's still, like, in shock. And I was even in shock. But it was, like, out of body. It was, like, truly, like, one of, like, that. I think it was the happiest moment of my life. And, like, in the moment, it just felt like so. out of body and then I watched the photos back and I was like oh no I was I truly was like I could

not stop smiling I was so happy and I was so happy that Dalton was there to like capture the moments because in the moment I was still just like blacked out like what just a blur it could it was like it was like so much like wait and then after it happens it's kind of like a sigh of like relief but it's hard to like you know be present for a moment like that because of how much is happening and like how overwhelming it was but then like just watching the videos and pictures back it was truly just like the happiest moment of my life i could tell too when you called and you were smiling yeah like i didn't stop smiling for like the next three days you still have yeah yeah that was exciting we were we were sitting at dinner uh ryan and i were actually

our girlfriends eating dinner and i knew that you were going to do this i told alex the night before because i was like all right we're i think we're in the clear i said ben's gonna you know propose uh greta you're like either tonight or tomorrow so i'm sure we'll get a call and And then I saw the group FaceTime call, so we all hopped in. But, yeah, you were beaming. Beaming, dude. From cheek to cheek. Yeah, I was so happy.

I had mentioned that I didn't tell Ken for a reason, right? So Ken is in Florida hammered on a beach. Ken's been hammered for like three days straight at that point. So, so Ken is blacked out on a beach. No, no, it was not blacked out. Browned out. Browned out. And the dude.

Messages me at like 5.30 and just goes, is it done? And I'm like, I'm like, damn it, Ken does know. You weren't very secret. You were like mildly secret. I figured if I just didn't tell you, though, you wouldn't feel like you had information to share. Did I snap you that? Yeah.

Yeah, you did. Yeah. So you go, you go, is it done? And I was like, no doing it in an hour. I really wanted to ask because I'd been thinking about it since the moment. moment that you left, I'm like, oh, shit, it's going to happen. I don't want to spill anything. I appreciate that. I was nervous, too. I was just waiting for it to happen. But I didn't want to text you and be like, when's it happening? You've got to be like, what happened? Yeah, yeah, exactly.

So I was like, no, it's happening in an hour, Ken. Well, I think over that next hour, you know, Kent, it was still on Ken's mind, apparently. Who's he call? Carly, Greta's little sister. Like, dude, I, I grabbed Greta to, like, go and do it, basically. And I think, like, three minutes later, Ken calls Carly. Holy smokes. And Carly answers the face time. FaceTimerser. And Ken goes, did he do it?

Yeah. No. Ken. Ken. But before that, he texted me, too. And he goes, is it done? Oh, my gosh, Ken. Brother.

And Carly's like, do what? And at that moment, like, my mom and dad walk in and Cindy and Mark, Greta's parents. Everything came up. You know, it's all, like, happening. and Ken's on FaceTime for all of this. That was fantastic timing then. It could not, like, if it was three minutes earlier,

Greta and her sister would have been like getting ready together. And even if Greta didn't hear that, I don't think Carly could have kept the secret. I think she would have been so excited, she would have worn it on her face. 100%. I'd blame that on the alcohol. It's like a hit.

I would blame that on the... Ken ever spills big beans, it's always on the juice. Ken, you were so happy, though. Like, you were calling everyone. everybody like when you were on the juice well ben just to add one more thing to your story you did also lose your car keys yeah so when i was when i was uh getting to big sky we flew out there and i was so worried about getting this ring through tsa i didn't put a single thing in my backpack except for the ring box because i was like i don't want anything to flag tsa to like pull my bag

aside you were flying with greta that yeah yeah yeah i was line with Greta. I went over my head the first time you told me that. And so I was just like, you know, as soon as I get to the airport, it's like, all right, just get through TSA, right? I'm just carrying my backpack with just a ring in it. Gets through TSA. Didn't get pulled aside.

Thank God. That would have been a dick move on that guy. You might have pulled out. If that would have happened, I would have been like, pull me to the back room. Oh, yeah, you would have had to him. Or yelled. Yeah. He's got to stop it.

There's a gun in my backpack. And so, like, in the midst. of all that though i lost my car keys no i lost greta's car keys you never even put them in the back no idea no idea i was like so just hyper fixated on just getting through tsa like got to the airport locked her car lost the keys immediately afterwards were you nervous leading up like for days in advance yeah oh yeah slept like shit though like really two weeks i was gonna say that's some shit i would do as a tsa agent i'd like take it out and be like just so stupid what is this and you're like put that back in the bag yeah no i was super nervous well congrats bro it was

yeah it was insane i mean i honestly like not knowing because then like when i did find out it was a surprise and i was really surprised good it was funny the day that you showed me the ring i like had something you know me i'd get worked up about shit that doesn't even matter but i had this thing that i like needed to talk to you about like a work thing right i walk in here like 9 30 in the morning and i sit down in your office i'm like all right let's hash out this plan and you're looking at me like you're just glowing you're just fucking glowing and i'm like what the fuck's up with this kid today and i like tell you the whole thing i'm all nervous about like we got to get this figured out you're like no yeah we got it and we work through it together and

i go cool and i leave and you come in a few minutes so you're like hey bro check it out or whatever oh dude i was so excited for you yeah i'm excited to see everyone's reaction to the ring you like had filmed a few different ones yeah who did you show first you i was just the nearest i'm sure but still excited to see it first. She likes the ring, thankfully. That's good. How could she not? Yeah, exactly.

No, I'm excited for you guys to, like, get to experience that. Yeah, you really romanticized that it, like, sounds really fun. Yeah, I don't know. It's just like, I mean, it's a big decision to be made, which is obviously, you know, why we've been dating for nine years. It's not that I, like, didn't know. It's like, I've always known, right? It's just, like, a big decision.

And I think a lot of people maybe just, like, rush into it or treat it as, like, that it isn't and i think it is i think it like deserves that weight so i think you guys will get that same experience and mike you've had it too but it's just like if everything goes right it's like the happiest moment of your life after i did that i was like i can't wait for you guys to experience the same i'm sure our girlfriends can't wait to experience it too not to put the pressure on you no like there's truly few things more annoying than other people trying to, like, dictate your relationship or, like, make that decision for you.

So don't feel like, like, the pressure's on. But, like, I don't know. You guys, I'm just excited for you. Yeah, thanks, brother. Thanks, brother. We're so happy for you. We're sitting at dinner. We're just all stoked.

Yeah, Alex started crying. It's funny. She even knew when she started crying. Really? Yeah. She was, like, just happy. Well, it's because, like, you guys have been dating. She's a drier, though.

The whole time, like, I mean, I remember the night that, I first met Greta at the freaking Jake's garage 11 years ago, you know? Like, it's been my entire life, I feel like you guys have been dating and I'm older than you. So, like, I feel like that says a lot. So it was a big, big cool moment. That was the thing, too. Like, it was so long time coming. How soon do you think till you guys have the wedding?

Do like that not even a thought. Like the minute after it happened, Greta gets in there and her mom and her and my mom, they're already talking. All right. Where are we doing this wedding? who's in it what what like what's the appetizers oh man i'm like already yeah but like are you thinking like next summer or yeah probably yeah that makes the most sense yeah i told her too i was just like look you know i have to make a lot of decisions on the daily of just like you know everything that we're

doing here so i was like i will try and help you as best i can but i did i did what i did and now now you You know, whatever you want for the wedding, these are your choices, and I support you. It's perfect. That's like telling a guy when he drives on the car dealership. I don't care what car you get, baby. Get whatever you want. It's like the perfect answer to the thing. I'm in that boat right now.

Oh, yeah. You're not contributing enough to the wedding. Oh, fuck. Oh, did you set that? Did you set those, that, like, precedent? No, I guess I should have. But I'm like, the checkbook's got to be worth something. Right.

Yeah, money, money might be worse. But I'm just like, because. Because there's some things, like, if I were to really sit down and put a bunch of time into, I think she'd be like, yeah, let's do that. But if I just put, like, a normal amount of time into planning it, and then she's like, I don't love those, here's what I was thinking. And I'm like, we should have just gone that route from the stuff. Yeah, we should have done that at the beginning. But yeah, that's good that you prefaced it. Because, I mean, that to me is like the fun part.

Like, the wedding is for both people, but the whole, like, the vibe of the wedding is usually up to the woman. And it's fun to, like, be in a position to let them do that. you know kind of have their way with it yeah whatever color scheme flowers outside inside destination yeah i think she'll do a great job planning it i just told her i was like look i just want to have like a little bit of say on like some key details that like make it like my wedding too yeah of like i don't know just like different things that's like some shit of sea boy would do at their wedding pranks during the wedding yeah exactly yeah that'd be good yeah that'll be One guest has to have an airbag

Underneath their chair And it happens to be the one guy Who almost spoiled the proposal Didn't get spoiled though It tried pretty hard It was perfect timing Dude if Ken would have fucked that up Like the only thing you can do is laugh

Yeah It would have been like That sounds about right Oh my God It wasn't He managed to be all the way across the country And he still got his Big mouth on it.

I was very excited for him. I was like, oh, he's doing it tonight. It's going to be cool. What a nice twist on, almost. You know, the time zones, you were in two times. I think it was like, 10 or a lot. It was pretty late when I was there. I think it was 8.30, Ken.

Son was well set when I was there. It was 8.40 at home sort of been 9.46 in Florida. All right. What do you do? Makes sense, then. You're off the hook. Yeah, I think everyone, you know, of course, is looking. and who's going to get next?

I think he's probably can. Coming in hot. Well, Ken, I tell you what would speed it up for you if you bought that car. Yeah. So last week, that Connell popped up. And then I also was talked into considering a pontoon. From who? You motors?

Jill, was it a factor. You have a pontoon. Can you have a pontoon? You do not have a linking continent. What more could you want? But a pontoon that friends can come with. So it's not just me alone. Yeah, but you got space for models on there.

Your friends are telling you to buy a pontoon to drive them around it. Well, tell them to buy their own ponton. Yeah, that's ridiculous. On a super real note, that car is insane and you could get, I know it would still cost a good chunk of change, but you could get a $30,000 pontoon and be chilling. Also true.

On a real note. You need that Lincoln Continental. You do. You need the car. And also, I really don't want to say this, but I'm going to say it, judging by that picture, it might be the ugliest pontoon I've ever seen.

It's a very nice pontoon. You don't like it, Ryan? You seen it? I thought it was nice. I thought it was unique. Isn't it like fake wood? No, it's genuine teak.

Pop it up. Oh, it's real wood. It's real wood. Oh, it's real wood. Let me see this. Pontoe. Okay, yeah, pull it up on the thing. Yo, is that a super air?

No, genuine. Genuine teak. I thought it was fake wood on like a normal pontoon panel. No, no, they send it off to like this old school, like old school kind of they don't make it. They don't make them anymore. That makes it cooler. Oh, it's a collectible, just like the Continental.

What year is it? It's like a 15. It's, uh... Ken, there's so many pontoons out in the world you could buy, but there's only one Linking Continental. That we've already filmed the intro. Yeah, we've already filmed the intro that's bagged out that we had to push back into the shop. Yeah, we push that thing home.

Very few test drives, do you actually get to push the car back and then make an offer? Maybe we should settle this with a coin toss. No, I don't leave it up to it. No, I don't leave it up to it. Okay. No, it's... I don't know, like, look at the front of it. Doesn't it look like a fake sticker on some plastic?

What, Ken? You're gonna plan on fucking wakeboarding behind this thing? What's up with the wingboard tower, dude? Based on the price of it, I figured it happened. How much is that thing? Jill wants $75 for it. I'd hate to pull a sale away from you motors, but... Yeah, exactly.

Someone else go buy this thing so Ken can't. I don't know, Ken. I did put up a Snapchat. I did put up a Snapchat pull, and I got to go through and, like, count them out. Well, let's see, pull it out right now. Yeah, that's... I put it up as like boat or boat And then people responded

Do you want to borrow my advocates? I bet you 90% of them just say boat They do Ken was drunk when you made that pole I was thinking I was actually And then I figured out how I could have done it different Which would have been easier

Maybe do a new poll Do a new poll Post that poll right now Okay there are a lot of people saying car Okay The only thing is I am worried that car Don't say anything negative.

I don't know if it's going to be the most reliable. Stay on the Continental train. I'm worried it's overvalued, but I also think, I mean, we could put a motor in that bitch. We could put a Hellcat in that thing, some new axles and some brakes,

and you're going to have a Hellcat swap linking Continental that can do burnout. Holy shit. Well, you got the top down. And that is insane. I'd say that car is right on the money for the condition that it's in.

Really? It's in the right ballpark Maybe I'm speaking for Too soon for the rest of the guys But if you buy that Lincoln Continental And if you have motor problems Which I'm assuming you well Because we had to push it back on the test drive

We're gonna get it fixed up You know you'll drive it for a while Pick up a bunch of chicks It's got six seats in it That's five extra girls you can have with you We will pay for the Hellcat swap Well Hold on hold on

All right Let me call the guy I'll buy the motor Wait, we'll fix it up. Then my brain just went to combing in my fucking thing. I don't necessarily want to say Hellcat, but I will back CJ up and say we will put a motor into the car. I think Hellcat's worth it. And we will be square.

We should just. We will be square. It would be insane. It's going to be that convertible top. It's going to be all the other stuff. No, leave the top of the airbags. All that stuff is going to go to hell. I'll pass the airbags.

I'll buy that. car the top will never be up all right now i guess i was just going to say maybe not lock it in on a hellcat just in case there's other options there yeah we could maybe look into electric battery swapping it well yeah can i don't know you can't well i was going to say you can't pull up to zorba's in a boat but you already got a boat bro you can't have two boats cross the road convertible you can park right next to the door that's true okay well we'll do we'll do the car i'll text jojo hey that's all that's all i And that's why you keep good friends around you That make you buy the right thing

Seriously, imagine that thing You cruising in it But now imagine it next summer With a Hellcat motor in it Doing rolling burnouts Like that thing would look insane At like a takeover just drifting Ken's in that thing

It doesn't even have seatbelts As soon as you say takeover I just envision him in the crowd With a car the size of a pontoon It's so square and flat and low to the ground it'd be amazing imagine he turns to do a drift but like the passenger sideway and he slides across this because there's no freaking bolster it's just a bench last time i i watched ken try and drift he almost drifted his cyber truck into my Lamborghini yeah that was parked i was a foot away

and i freaked out after that and i walked away don't forget the freak out that's the last time you want drifting when we get the drift track done i drifted it barely did it and then jake did it and then jake way better. I'm so fired up right now. Picture this. Everywhere we go and Ken pulling up in that Lincoln Continental and bagging it out. Bro, people are going to go nuts. When I showed my dad and both my grandpas in a picture of it, they're like, holy shit, that thing's nice. They're like, that's awesome. It's a collector. It's going to go up in value, especially if you put a new motor in it. Dude, if you put a Hellcat motor in it, it's probably a $140,000 car. Yeah. You're going to need like a cane and a properly monocle, like a little misconduct. Like a little

Mr. Peanut Outfit or something to drive that thing around. Ken, I don't think that there's a cooler car on the market that you could buy. I know there isn't right now. I think that's so sick. And then one is a Hellcat motor and it's going to be viral. Technically, the motor that's in it is bigger. A bigger cubic engine. What did you say?

I think it was like an 8 liter or something? Seven to two or eight two or something. Yeah, it's massive. How old is that car? 1963, so 53 years old. Damn, Ken, that car's going to be older than the mom's riding in it. Ken, did you have any moms hanging with you in Florida? Yeah, there was a few moms.

down there. Yeah, how'd it go? I didn't realize Easter was such a big travel weekend. So all the resorts, and I was in Clearwater, all the resorts were just littered with children. And it was, it was like shoulder to shoulder kids in this pool just splashing all over the place. And I was like, so we had to sneak.

Nothing kills Ken's buzz like some kids splashing. So we did yelling, mom, mom is he's trying to shooze their mom. We had to sneak into an adult's only resort to go, just to go to the pool. Why did you have to sneak? Just because we didn't stay at that hotel You got to have the key card to get in But we just kind of snuck in In as other people were going in

Which one did you go to? It's called the Opal That the one with the pool Where it looks overlooks? Yeah I snuck into that one too So cool Pretty easy to sneak into

Well you just like literally reach over Push the crash bar and walk in Super nice pool though They were so bad Did you bark at them? No but we're like Where is your This one kid like

Where is your mother? No We're in this, like, circle in the corner of the pool, and these two kids, like, swim in between us and just start splashing each other. We're like, where are your parents? These damn kids having fun, don't they have a TV or an iPad or something they should be sitting on? Exactly. Oh, my gosh. I was in church the other day, but it was on a Saturday.

We, like, got a new building. So there's all these kids there because they weren't running children's church or Sunday school or whatever. There's kids everywhere, but I wasn't picking up on that. So I'm, like, trying to hear what the pastor's saying? And I was like, what is going on in here? I can't hear anything. And I'm like, there's kids everywhere. I'm like, look, they're all on their iPads.

I'm like, what is going on? And then Sidney's like, yeah, isn't it kind of annoying when there's no children's church? I'm like, oh, that's what it is. They're normally not here. I remember Ken could be on his phone in church. I thought that was just the most badass thing. Wait, what do you mean Ken could be on his phone in church? I don't remember that.

You just like your parents didn't get after you about it. Yeah, like. So Ken was just scrolling on his phone the whole service? Well, you probably, to be fair, had like a freaking motorola razor, you know, like you... You're playing snake. Yeah, clicking around. Yeah, pretty much was clicking around. That is so cool.

Yeah, I was like, damn, that's so cool. He walks in, scrolling, sits down, keeps scrolling. Wait, wait, wait, wait, you're playing on it? You're playing on it? They get done praying? Amen. Still playing. What could you pop?

possibly be doing it on your phone at that age, Ken, that's important. Probably just playing whatever game they had on there. Yeah, it probably was just clicking around. There probably was no games, no nothing. Back when you just opened up the internet and go, what do you mean open up the internet? Like on phones before iPhones, if you opened up the internet and like it loaded, it costed $10.

Yeah. Ken, look up some old rates of data. It used to be like $0.90 for a megabyte. Yeah, or $0.90 for a megabyte. You'd get like two megabytes for free a month. Fuck. That's how I remember it. And then, like, you could easily burn through that, but the phone was so slow.

What just happened with here? Dude, sent him a wire on Friday. No. I lost the car. You lost the car. You snooze and you lose. What the, well, I guess I'll take that Hellcat motor. Well, that sucks.

Ken. Okay. We told you to just write the check when we were there. Yeah, but it was like, it died. And I was like, okay, I'll give him, like, a couple days. And then I'll message him back because they were going to, like, look at the motor and, like, Like, have a shop was going to look at it. He told you there was another guy that.

Yeah, I know, but he was, yeah, I know. That sucks, man. It does suck. I guess I have to get the boat now. You start thinking about what could have been. No, no, no, no, we'll find another one. Yeah, we'll find another one. What if we bought you, like, another little pontoon to pull behind your pontoon so you could

bring more people with you? Like an even smaller pontoon? Well, it's like a trailer, but it's going to buy the mini pontoon. Maybe it's actually a really big pontoon. Yeah. It's kind of like one of those little trucks at the airport. Little truck pulls around. Big client, yeah, yeah.

It's just this, yeah, it's just this one platform. Everyone's on the back, just having a ton of fun. And Ken's just sitting there like, hug, driving. Toeboating. That sucks, man. Do we get to use the footage still? Like, I don't know. Is that even work?

What's the point? Oh, yeah, what's the point? Honestly, let's just quit. Shutter the YouTube channel right now, dude. Ken, I think we got to find you another one. Yeah. Another little pop-up. Yeah, you've only been looking for five years.

It was cool that it was local, but, like, with a car, like that of that caliber i think it'd be worth getting it anywhere in the country wait a minute just message the guy who just wrote a check and then write him a check for a bigger amount yeah it might now a little bit of money that's an idea yeah figure out who bought it money make this blow some cash say hey you looking to make some money on this give him 10 grand over and just remember next time that we tell you to buy something to not wait he also he also texts me that had a uh there wasn't issue with the air ride that air ride system was jankety yeah Like, that wasn't the Aeroid system.

I figured that would be, like, the one-diled thing. No. Air-ride is, like, the most finicky thing ever. Well, I agree with that. I just figured it was, like, a new... Yeah, new system, you would have thought. That system was new, like, 10 years ago. Not the car for you.

It wasn't meant to be. Well, it's a good lesson learned. Clearly, I just got a money mic and just send them while you're on the spot. No questions asked. Minimal questions asked. Yeah, see, Mike... You don't want to piss them off by asking any questions about this expensive thing you're going to buy. I just ask them, did you like it when you have... at it.

Yeah. This guy's just annoying me. Yeah, I liked it. Sick, I'll take it. Ryan, to bring back to your question, in 2000 Verizon charged $24 for two gigabytes. Wow. To run the internet probably was less.

Oh, for sure. Like, gigabyte usage, so it's probably quite a bit back then. So I got to run you guys through a scenario here. Maybe I ask like what you're going to do because I've been put in this scenario a few times. You know, like when you're out late drinking, you're at a bar and somebody pees on the toilet like you kind of just go like all right there's now pee on the toilet you don't clean it up even if you pee on it a little more a little splash i'm weird because if i got to take a shit i'm

definitely cleaning it up you hover that's not that weird you would sit on it otherwise yeah true no you said hover you flip the top seat up i've actually never done that even an option and then you just hover and it's surprising how efficiently you can crap if you're not sitting i think over in asia like they just hover yeah they just hover have been removed all the toilets Just hovering. So, like, obviously in that scenario, you can get away with, like, nobody knows it's you. What? I just thought of Ken having to hover.

That's all. Just that, sorry. It'd be like a freaking. Like doing a plank. You'd have the biggest thighs in Cormoron. That is a workout. An eight-minute squat. Ken's in there for hours still.

Oh, 90. Ken installs. Like a little grab bar Before he goes in he puts on like those handraps Your grip Chocks up Where were you going with that Ryan? Yeah, Ken's like, come on us

Keep this moving We need to install one at the merch barn too for you It's just a harness system Like one of those sex swings He gets a harness stuff like he's going zip lining with foot straddles holy that would be something that'd be possible where are we going at this Ryan

you walk in you walk into like prank I mean he's like all tangled up it well he can't get away it's on a winch system so you can't drop it from hide down I can't breathe He gets it up all the way. The witch battery dies.

He's stuck. He calls Darius in the merchandise, warehouse manager. He comes in and gets them down. There's a manual release. Do you want me to pull it? I think it'll drop you all the way, though. Let's keep moving.

Let's keep moving. Let's keep this train going. Ryan, where were you going with that? No, I'm not wiping the next guy's pee off the seat. So the problem is obviously in the bar you're not going to. Unless you had this shit

Then you need the wind setup Where are you going? So anyway, I was at a home And there's like three, four girls there And there's two or three guys And there's only one bathroom. Decent ratio? Yeah, not bad.

And so you walk into the bathroom And there's like quite a bit of pee on the toilet seat And there's one bathroom in the house. Is it a strong flushing toilet? Because sometimes water, if you don't shut the lid, we'll come back up. That's what Evan tries to use it. defense after he pisses all over the toilet seat and someone calls him out.

Oh, no, I just flushed it and it flushes strong. This looked like a normal flushing toilet. So you didn't want to walk out of that bathroom and have everyone. Exactly. So I go to the bathroom, don't pee all over the toilet seat, but then I'm looking at this pee on the scene. I go, I leave. And then one of these girls comes in,

they go, what the fuck, Ryan just peed all over the toilet seat and left it. I just, like, load it up with some toilet paper and cleaned it up. Yeah. And I was like, damn. I would have done that. It's kind of a weird situation to be in. So who was in there before you? If you used enough toilet paper, it's not that bad.

No, I mean, that's what I did. I said, who the hell isn't lifting the seat when they're going to the bathroom? I'm not a seat lifter. Who the hell is standing up when they pee? Wait. You don't lift the seat? No. Wait, you don't lift the seat?

Well, I hang past the seat. Sometimes I don't lift the seat. That seems weird. That just seems like you're for sure going to get some on there. Yeah, then you just have to clean it up. I mean, it's not. The seat either? Sometimes.

Holy shit, guys. No, I'd never lift the seat. I mean, hell, dude, if I'm like half asleep at night, I sit down to pee. Well, yeah, that's normal. I always end up with piss on the floor. Especially if you kind of are like, you know, you got a little bit of like, it's not sometimes, it's always. After about 15 years, I've either sitting to pee or be on the floor.

Also, if you got kind of like a stiffy, it's like, you can't really stand, so or it's even like partially, so then you're kind of like, you gotta. So it's better to sit? Yeah, because then you just lean forward. You're pressed up against the porcelain, that's terrible. No, even on your own toilet, you don't want that. I don't know. You can sit back far enough to get this.

I think that's a crazy. I think that's a crazy fact, Ryan. Really? Not lifting up the seat just seems like more work. Then you never forget it up. Yeah, that's true. If you're above eight years old, you should. Some people really get after you when you leave it up.

I think I would say, how fucking lazy are you, bro? Nine out of ten times. I think I can pee through the seat without a six. single drop. Let's go test this stage. I said I'm closer to the seat than the rest of you guys. I'm right there.

Maybe if I was seven feet tall, there'd be more room to make a mess. When Ken's peens, it's like a cannonball. It's like you're hating the toilet. It's why you just lifted. It takes half a second to lift it and then it's fine. Don't be lazy.

Your dick or the seat? I mean, the seat. But yeah, that you dick too. Don't be talking about Ken's dick on the podcast. Dude, didn't we like title a whole podcast around?

Evan's massive seat. Turns out of it turns out of. It turns out it was Photoshop. Wide angled. Yeah, that was the secret part of it. Yeah, we found out. There's anyone here that doesn't know how to use Photoshop, it's me, so.

Did you ever, you ever get a computer? No. Was he talking about getting up? He was talking about it for a while. I said, I thought, yeah, no, I just. And then I think we all said, why? What would you use a computer for? Apparently Photoshop my wiener, I guess.

I don't know. Shopping for parts and stuff? Yeah. I don't know. I could see myself getting maybe like the iPad set up like Mike got or Spenny with you got a little keyboard and shit I don't even know how to type like I'm Can you type like this or not?

You do this? I mean I did I think he was going maybe 6th sixth grade middle school we had to take a typing class I made it through that But I've never had to use it since that class Like I remember being like a senior in high school And like yeah still pecking

The keys really But I think you get a little efficient Like I would say maybe I'm like a hybrid You were kind of like Doing two hand pecking Yeah two hand and then maybe a couple couple fingers but definitely not not looking at all really not like parked on aswf or whatever where you're like locked in right here i'm like just keyboard you're not it's like right now could any

of you guys write like a full paragraph in cursive properly no i can't even write my name in cursive just because you don't use it i don't know but yeah ryan never learned cursive and his signature shows i mean everyone knows their signature not really no ryan i tried i practice it and it I just black out and forget it. It just doesn't. Do you say, I want to see your signature now. I mean, it's on thousands of garments. I don't think I'm different every time.

It looks close enough. The Ryan is pretty good. They're going to bring Ryan's like in 20 years. They're going to like show up on Pons Starr's. Like, yeah, I have this Seaboys hat signed by the, the Seaboys. And they're going to be looking at and be like, well, the Ryan I-Works signature is really hard to tell because every single one is different. It looks like in this era he was attempting at cursive.

This is Orion from I kind of just I'm like the Ryan isn't bad But I don't ought to do W-E-R Let me see the Ryan Let me see the Ryan Nothing there resembles in R I think most of it

Are? Looks good Oh down here Yeah Yeah the low But my R up here's pretty nice You can just kind of It's just not

Squiggle You only do the same thing Every time you're good Doesn't really matter It doesn't really neat Like as long as it's Eh No I did this thing

Where they wrote it for me In like Where they'll like Someone will design you a signature It's like online they designed you a signature but it was way too intricate like i can't sign it on a hat then you'd like get that then you'd trace it a lot of times yeah like full-blown elementary school style well i didn't even switch i just did it for like the meet and greet aka like hey days but i just signed mike

and it's so much better hey mike so much faster money mike are you switching from micha to mike no you're pretty heavy on the mic i never call you mike anymore i've never i've literally never, ever asked anyone in my entire life to call me Mike. Even, I've never really been like Micah or Mike. You can call me either. I've only ever introduced myself as Micah. So like, I'm just going to keep rolling that. Whoever they want can call me Mike, which is pretty much everyone, but that's not my name. Oh, you don't like it when people call you Mike? No, I do like it. But I'm not publicly like, I like being called Mike, so call me that. I just like

it. Clip it. Everyone's like, well, okay, tell us something we don't know. Well, that's part of having a nickname is you have to not like it. Yeah, part of it is like, yeah, you didn't choose. You didn't choose it. It's just burdened upon you. It's like you don't like it for many years and then eventually just sticks when they stop calling the nickname.

It's like, ooh, that's weird. Before you know it. Yeah, if you push back on it, it doesn't help. The more you push back, the more it's going to stick. Ken, what do we got to do for you to change your legal name to Ken? That sounds like a disaster. I don't think it's that disastrous. It's probably easier than setting up like an LLC.

And it's probably easier to do now before you. you continue to acquire more things, like a Lincoln. Like, then you'd have to change the title and stuff. You might as well just do that now. We should surprise Ken by changing his name legally for him. That would be awesome if we could do that. No, no, I'm not going to legally do that. There's enough stuff out there already that I'd have to switch and just doesn't sound fun.

What if we change your middle name? Same, same, exact same thing. What are you thinking? I was thinking like fucking in the middle. Ken fucking Matthews. Then if you're in that Lincoln Continental, you know, they had JF, K, now you got KFM. Ken's other friends are trying to change his name now, actually, from Kent.

What are they trying to hijack Ken's, Ken's nickname. To what? Greg. Greg? I don't know where that came from. I love it. They just were like, well, Ken is like, what the hell is going on? My new nickname wasn't good enough, so now I have a new one.

Why, Greg? I think they're just kind of curving you back towards the original. picked it up, too, and just started calling him Greg everywhere. It's like, well, you've got some Greg now. What the hell are you going to do with all this no can do merch? No, Greg, dude.

Oh, here comes Greg and his continental. Greg? Honestly, I kind of like it. I kind of like Greg. Hey, Greg. What was his name before? Greg.

How good is it going to feel when Ken introduces himself in front of it. of in front of us is Greg eventually I'm just going to have enough enough enough enough nicknames where I can say any word and it's just fine we're at some kind of thing where we got to speak in from a bunch of people when Ken goes like yeah my name's Ken we should all stop back his name's Grant you don't know what what why you say your name's Ken dude and they just totally switch on them I personally I think Greg is great nice it's symmetrical Mike how old Greg looking design is pretty good I think we can do

It doesn't flow like, no, Ken, dude, but that's just a call for a whole new slogan. Yeah. Like, uh, Greg will do it. Greg will do it. And then we'll have like a picture of him with like a muscle. Like, you know, Popeye. Free high five, you call.

Ken, Greg, when you see him. Ken is like, I sit behind this desk for a reason. You guys need to focus on yourself up there. Wait, so why are they calling you Greg? I was very drunk and I don't remember why. They started calling you Greg. I think I was carrying around a wine glass at that point, just walking around the hotel. So, Greg.

That's so Greg of you. Everyone listening right now. I was like, oh, okay. Oh, Greg. Ken is getting up. Greg. He's getting up. He's walking out.

Ken would never wear those pants, but Greg would. I think he's trying to get a head start on us and make sure his toilets don't disappear. No, that was a Ken thing to do. Greg would squat. Greg would squat. Greg's a hovercraft fan of it. I saw something of a quad guy saving the day. Ev, you might kind of like this.

On a street ride, too, actually, which is the most miraculous thing. This isn't the one of them running into the... Quad guys do save the day on bike rides. Oh, yeah. Quad guys actually are very valuable bike lay fast up. Yep. Not the factory de Shadama.

Just because they're the first one to get pulled up. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, oh. Run. Yeah. Clean getaway. What? We have that same YFC. Yeah.

Oh, and then they start wheelie it. Dude, how crazy is that though? Bud loops the bike and then the cop, no lights, no nothing, runs into him. I've seen like where the quad guys really do come through. Dude, that guy sacrificed himself. He was only like six feet away and he's riding in a bike lane. I feel like I gotta get back. Can you just surprise this one day and show up with a, with a brand new quad?

I was kind of always hoping that, like, I would get a surprise, you know? I mean, like, can get so many, like, whatever, you know, I was like hoping maybe one day you'd, I'd get to come in, everybody's smiling, and they'd, you know, everybody kind of look at you. Okay, put the blindfold on. You go, oh, what's going to happen? And then you walk in. You just expect everything to be handed to you, don't you? You need to buy the brand new quad so we can put a comb in. it for you.

Oh my gosh. That's how the surprise works. Pretty much every time I see a fresh Raptor, I'm like, I just think that thought. Mike, you should buy it for Ryan for his best man. Yeah.

Well, that's what I'm going to like being nice for you. I think I want to surprise everyone with new dirt bikes that's in your wedding. I think I'm going to surprise Big Rens. Not Big Rensch.

Gavin with a torque converter. I actually support that. It is brutal. I'm down. Our mechanic has the worst running pickup in the fleet. His torque converter, like, to be honest with you,

I don't. don't really know what it does i don't know what a torque converter does but it makes the truck shake really bad at 60 plus miles an hour that is so that one of those i forget what else i wasn't expecting that money might go soft i wish i could surprise cody sherbrook with the dirt bike and then also like probably get him to contractually sign like i'm going to not molest this i thought you're going to say don't sell i'm like no just don't just don't touch it yeah you can't wrench on it anytime you want to work on it you come over I'll change the oil for you.

No aftermarket accessories. Yeah. And I would love to buy Ryan a Raptor. It's nice you, Mike. 700, too, not a 660. One of them new green ones. I think we're one year away from it being 10 years since my other one. So, like, it could be an anniversary edition.

We got to get you back on the quad, right? Six months, they should drop, yeah. You know, we have a couple, like, in the garage that you could ride. Yeah, I know. It's just their YFZs. It's just not the same as the Raptor, you know? No reverse. They're not narrow and.

tipy yeah yeah they're not worse in almost every other way i i got it on the stark one that was actually pretty fun you did that was actually very refreshing the stark's the best one dude that's the best freaking four-wheeler you can buy yeah that is literally the best squad ever at least for wheelies and jumping yeah but i mean it kind of when we took it out to the dunes and stuff weren't okay sucked there but yeah it's got a broken radiator fair enough last week we dropped our first cheap car challenge video if you guys haven't seen it going on watch it. It's part one and part two. The second part is coming out this Thursday. But are we going to talk about how Ryan just completely fucked me over and just through the

race just to make me look like an absolute idiot? It's funny because I didn't have any clue that he was doing that. And then when he came back and said that he was doing that, it's pretty funny, Ryan. I will give it to you. It is hilarious. And I don't think that you needed to do that to make me look like a worse driver like i don't think that it was a nice touch wasn't it it was a nice touch yeah it was definitely a nice touch i guess those that don't know we ended the first video part one with a uh a race around the track with our three cheap cars and uh first place was ryan second place was evan third place was me and the loser had to uh spend the night camping well first place got uh like the nicest hotel and the best dinner in town right

it was great but but after about second place we got some McDonald's second place got McDonald's in a motel but but after we did the race the guy uh that like kind of got us under the track was like he's just kind of just big dick in me where you just thought I was just such a bad driver where he was just like oh I could I could win in your car because I was just like dude my car is so slow like there's no nothing you can do no chance I could have won like I was in the back from the jump of the beginning and like the first chance I had I was going to try and hit Evan like hit him out right it wasn't we weren't racing at all like it was not like switch it wasn't up to

the driver or at least i thought it wasn't and so the dude was just like i could i could beat ryan like in your car and i was like what do i have to gain by doing this right like ryan either wins and i don't look like a bad racer or you win and then i look even worse and everyone's like yeah let's run it let's run it and then gavin actually was getting pressed because you don't have anything to gain by doing this. He's going to just root our car. We have to use his car for the next week. Honestly, it was a valid concern.

Yeah, and everyone's like, run it, run it. Just could not wait for me to look like a terrible driver. And then sure enough, on the backside of the track, couldn't see it. Ryan, waves him by. The dude comes in the front. Ken's, who's my teammate? Could not stop laughing. Because he was the first one to see it.

I could not believe that dude came out in the front. And it was like, oh, my God, this is so, so amazing. Let's not forget about the $100 it made me. And it made Evan $100 richer, which I'm glad that it was $100 because I initially bet him $5,000. Whoa. Like, that's how confident I was in this car not being able to beat you. I was like, this thing sucks. There's zero chance.

And thankfully, Evan didn't take that bet, which was crazy because we just spent the last like three days in Vegas. And Evan went to like. It wasn't just for the money. We would have lost. It was throwing off the whole team. dynamic of the whole challenge that's why i didn't do it if it was strictly a money money bet i probably would have gambled but you were throwing all these curveballs in i'm like i don't know no no the only thing i messed up is i forgot to let him pass me twice so i could fake it and then show you

the clip of him passing me so it kind of spoiled it was it was almost i i knew it was just too good to be true but yeah the guy comes across the finish line in first and ken is just loving i couldn't believe that car somehow made it around the track that fast and once again it clearly was I hate to say, I hate to break it to you, but it was completely real. We didn't even set that up because there's nothing, there's no footage of us being like, hey, Ryan's going to throw the race. It just, he was going hard. I mean, you can see Ryan wave him by.

Would you? I don't know. I guess it depends how much you look at the GoPro. You see Ryan put his hand out of the window and wave him by. No, we did fuck up not telling the camera that Ryan was going to throw the race. That's all you really have. Yeah, I kind of just like thought about it when I was heading out. I was like, it'd be way funnier if it.

really made it look like a bad drive because afterwards i was like holy shit i suck i was like god i suck what do i why do i even try there is uh i can't remember who says it um ryan scotto says driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car fast and driving on that track those slow cars fast was so fun it was more fun on doing that track day maybe i guess not for you maybe you're sucked too much but it was more fun than driving like our super Super cars. Really? Yeah.

Holy. I mean, because you weren't really worried about piling them up. And, like, you couldn't drive so fast that you were terrified of, like, what was happening. Like, worst case, you just squeal some tires and slide off a corner. I was terrified. My brakes were going to light on fire. Oh, yeah.

Yours were. They just smelled so bad. I've never smelled that much brakes. Crown Vic was fine, obviously. Yeah, Ryan was just having the time of his life. I just remember how giddy CJ was when he came up to me to inform me that he put a little word into the driver. Oh, yeah, it was partially my idea for Ryan to throw it.

I was like, dude, just let them win. It would be even funny. Yeah, those jokes, though. Yeah, dude, that whole video, I can't believe that was only half of it. Have anything set in stone on your El Camino? Wait, what? Mexican O.T. Yeah.

Hell yeah. Well, I mean, I think it's set in stone, yeah. I just figured I want to speak it into existence here because I really want to see that happen. Apparently, like, the first week of August, Mexican O.T. He's playing a concert in Fargo, and they want the El Camino as a stage prop. That's sick. How sick is that? Said could hook us up with a little meet and greet and a VIP table for the concert.

Let's go. That's lit. So lit. Who hit you up, Mexican OT? Actually, Brandon, because he knows the promoter and the promoter is in charge of, like, just having it ready. I'm sure Mexican OT has no fucking idea about any of this. Still seems legit that the promoter is looking for a car to have on the stage. So I'm like, it seems legit.

if you stat in the car the whole time with the window down i'm thinking about hiding in there at least long enough to jump out even if security tackles me it'll be like it's my car you hop out you pop the trunk you pop the trunk there you go yeah that would be hilarious i'm gonna jackass harness jump out of the turn start that thing up like halfway through and start revving it you should put the hard tunnel cover on it it's on it right now oh hell yeah yeah that's super sick that's literally so cool and then evan was saying how he's thing about kind of not changing it a bunch but undonkifying it

and making it a little more drivable. Now it has to happen after. Of course, it's got to look. If it wasn't donked out, you'd never get an opportunity like this. Also true. It would be fun to have a car that performs just a little bit.

You might have to buy another type of vehicle. I don't know if El Camino was ever known for performing. A big motor in a straight line. That's true. Yeah, I think it just needs an LS in it, in a cam. You can see that thing.

just shaking. It does have a cam and it does like a bigger cam. Yeah, it sounds good actually. No, it needs like a turboed 6-liter. That would be sick. We have a 6-liter going in the original red Miata. But it's blue now. I still don't understand.

Is that really? Oh, yeah, it is. Yeah, we got a red one to replace the red one. And we got red and blue. I kind of like the blue better than the red. I like them both equally. Because it's fresh paint, it looks better than the old one, but I was just so in love with the OG Miata.

I think I just had a little bit more of a bond with him. it maybe. For sure. So I was just really saddened to see it just is no longer what it was. We'll have to get you one of these hats, but in blue and some blue etneys. Here we go. Here we all capped off again. I got my drift car back, just got a tune, spun like 10 laps.

It was so far from overheating, and I didn't start on fire. I almost don't believe it. Kind of lame. I had to quit because my tires were roasted. Four years later, and she's finally running. Yeah, she's good to go. Like, really good to go. Like, it feels almost too easy.

I was fighting it before. I don't know. I'm excited. No, watching that video that you sent, like the entry speed was actually, I looked to see if it was you driving or Jake driving because it looked really good. Well, I rarely even went into second gear before,

and now that's just like... You just ride second. Congrats, Mike. You too, bro. Yeah. All right. I think that's a wrap, boys. That is.

Good stuff. It's funny. Congrats, Benny. Thank you. Congrats, Mike. That was a funny pod. Wasn't it, Ken? First half was great.

Ken, it was like a serious emotional role. coaster with a car you literally solidified yes i'm buying that car to uh never mind i'm not and i think you should keep looking you already got a pontoon there'll be more that pop up yeah more pontoon yeah okay there we go subscribe if you haven't boys and uh we'll see you next week later
