It's a little intimidating Being up here, people's like, yeah, just speak And you're like, no, I want to interrupt anybody Or like talk over, which everybody else was mad about too So I was like, damn, sorry Did you feel like you had stuff to say And you didn't want to talk over it Or what?

Because the rest of us were talking over each other And I say that because like If you have something to say around here If you don't speak up and say it at like The right time, it is, it is time you know you're going to just get run over that's what i think i was worried about was not have or not saying it at the right time definitely did definitely had things i wish i'd brought up but well we got more podcast luckily for you we've plenty of things for you to talk about today because

you're kind of on the hot seat we did we had oh we're at ryan's hot seat no one's hot wait wait wait it's not that big of a deal it's not it's still going to be a normal episode but but you are slightly on the hot seat we're going to grill you a little bit and uh you know Just get you a nice charbroil on you. Well, Ken got tons of clout for the last one. We did extend the invite to have him back. You know, Ken, you did really well. But he was like, nope, that's all I can handle.

Are you done? Are you one and done? Well, no. Are you one pump chump? One pod chump, baby. I'll be back. This is Ryan's moment to shine, though. Yeah, Ken doesn't want to overshine, Ryan.

The way he said I'll be back made me scared and excited. We got a guest on here, Tint. Man, we got all that. Tint, get out of here. What the fuck? Since, you know, my first podcast is jumping in here. I left you guys a little gift underneath the tables here. Oh.

Oh, my gosh. Why do I not see it? It's literally, it's literally under the table. Holy fricked it. I was wonderful. Me too? I mean, he said you guys. Tith, that was phenomenal, man.

That was good. Are we going down on a knee? The boys are part of it. Let's do this. Let's do this. Hey, no early starts. Ken? You got a timer?

Can you hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Three. Two, Ken, Ken, chill, chill, chill, chill. Go. Sucking it down. I've been practicing. Holy Craig. Oddly enough, I was actually planning on going into this podcast, not drinking.

I've been trying to lay off the booze during the week. my brain operates a little bit more. Also, I have another theory on this. And it's not, it's not the week for the record, but I feel. I mean, it's Friday. It is, yeah. But how is that going for you, Ben? So far.

Which part? The not drinking thing. Honestly, up until 5 o'clock on today, Friday, you're doing pretty good. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Okay, I have a theory, actually, about the not drinking part. Going into the weekends, if we, like, let loose on a Friday, because we're Friday night and Saturday, because we usually film on Sundays. Recently, it's kind of been off the ball on Sundays, even, though.

I say lately we've been filming way more Saturday afternoons. Yeah, that's true. That's true. So, you know, kind of letting loose on Saturday nights and then Sundays. Do you feel like you're more refreshed on Mondays? Dude, I never go on. Being that you had like a fun weekend and you were able to, like, kick back and relax. Excuse me.

I don't. You guys? Or Monday, you're like, oh, it's like taking, Monday is almost like a waste day where it takes your brain some time to turn back on. Yeah, lately I almost feel like if we were to. do something and we totally could if we were to film on sundays i think i'd feel better on mondays and like every sunday like i used to work at zorbas and like every single sunday they have their sunday and like literally 19 people call me and text me and they're like you gotta come on sunday i'm

like i just went out all weekend like i don't know what to tell you and like i don't normally but then when i do i hate my life on mondays and then did you say no this sunday yeah did you say no that's why i said i don't normally do it but then i did do it this sunday what time do you shop to work uh two you know to circle back to your question oh bent going into monday dude when we take the weekends off we don't rest we just like just turn up the dial and don't film anything and everyone goes wild and i go into monday like with like the freaking monday scerries dude i'm like holy shit i have so much stuff i need to do yeah that's a great point actually monday sceries because we almost put off

There's a million people wanting a video this week and I gotta either come up with more stuff to put into that video or edit the one that we already have film like it's just it's a lot I mean it's pretty I definitely have anxiety when Monday comes

and it's because we just hit it so hard on the weekend but I mean I don't know I feel like people like us that spend so much time working Like, we work a lot. Although it doesn't look that way from the outsider perspective, we work a lot more in pretty much 99.9% of people that we know. I feel like you're more, like, tended to go and booze hard, you know?

Like, people that work hard, play hard too. Yeah, exactly. And it's just constantly, like, burning the candle at both ends is what my mom tells me. Oh, yes. My mom says that too. I was just thinking about this today, actually. And people always go, oh, man, it must be so nice to pick. your own hours you don't have a boss all that quite the opposite one like today it is uh it's

five oh eight on friday and we're just sitting down and start the podcast and ryan gets really really upset i do i do totally do we'll probably talk about that later homo psycho no i mean that's but i mean but i do remember reading something this just a quick like quote it was like yo i traded my nine to five good for you for i'm self-employed now now it work all the time yeah that's what i was going to say yeah i traded my nine to five to a 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Yeah. So back to what you said, Ryan.

Would you rather have a boss that told you got to be here at 9 a.m. And you can leave at 5? No, I definitely wouldn't want to have like someone telling me what I have to do, which is tough because we all tell each other what we have to do. But like we're all in it together. I would rather work later and start earlier and do all that to build something that's like ours. But some days, like it sucks. Some weekends we're filming, we're like, yep, let's get up at 8 a.m.

So we can go to Vinny's, which is, like, fun. Of course. We're like, oh, yeah, we have to take our Mustang muddings. But, like, you have something that's, like, planned. Or we might just go, yeah, we got to film on Saturday. I think unpredictability is sometimes hard for me. So then when we're like, yeah, we might film on Saturday. I don't know, though.

But even when you go to, like, film those fun things, for say, Vinnie's, it is still stressful because it's like, okay, like, do we get shots at this like is this turning out like what do we need to do to make this more entertaining for the viewer are we doing a great job explaining this and like you are working yeah it is it is fun though it is fun but or it's like when we were when we were water skipping we're all on the boat ben's recording i'm recording on a second camera kens find the drone and ryan's driving we don't even have time to necessarily be like dude this is so sick we're you know we're all locked in although it is super mistake and we were having a lot of fun but you know execute the job we got to make sure uh that

we stay grateful to that and like understand that if you had to go do something else i guarantee you if like let's just say you had to go and find another job and you started working at let's say you a bank you were going to be a teller at a bank you would fucking do that the first day you'd get halfway through like regret well i didn't i work harder Why didn't I work harder? I do not like this. I miss the hard times that I had doing what we're doing right now. So you got to make sure you keep that perspective.

Totally. It's definitely a perspective on stuff like that, I feel like. You kind of get inside of something and it's hard to like appreciate all the things. But then when you look at it on the outside, then you're like, damn, that is... We get so jaded to like everything. Exactly. It's like terrible. I just bought a new car.

You guys see it on the next step video of Seaboy's TV. but like I've wanted this car for my whole life and I was super super excited and like I finally fucking got it and I get in and I drive it and like the next day I was like driving and I was like it cool

I mean like I feel a little bit happier but I feel like after a certain threshold you only can increase so much and like we just live this like dopamine ride

and which is terrible. That's like a, that's not how he's supposed to live. It's true. And it's just like diminishing returns as time continues to go on. Ben and I were talking about that though on our way out because we were just in town. We had an hour long drive back here before the podcast. We were talking about just like making sure we don't lose that appreciation for things because it is very easy to get jaded. We move fast. Like things are constantly evolving, constantly moving. There's so many things going on here and just like appreciating what you have i think this can go both ways too then so i'm talking about the group as a group um we get a lot of toys if ryan buys something i get to

experience that right so so if ben buys his c8 corvette like i'd never even seen one in person i maybe a couple but anyway i was super stoked and now uh i get to experience everything c8 i can ask him for a ride if he wants if i want to drive it he'll probably let me drive it but it can go the other way too where you get that c8 and then i'm like cool i've experienced everything i would ever want to about a c8 i've ridden in it you know all that yeah um like anything that we that we buy uh it it doesn't just come down to you that's so true anytime you guys make a move yeah i get to experience the upsides and the downsides of it you almost experience everything five times yeah which is which is so interesting the the line of work that we're in how easy it is

to justify anything anything making like really extreme purchases like that that honestly most people could never justify until they have like enough passive income to uh you know cover their expenses of it you know people talk about that a lot when they're like oh don't buy a um Lamborghini until your passive income can pay for it but for us it's like it makes it it literally it doesn't make sense to have money in the bank because let's say i have a hundred grand in the bank that that hundred grand is making me zero money or whatever the bank is like 0.008 percent but you know i go out spent 100 grand on a car well then i immediately have like you know off of the cuff like five videos

and then that could that could make a return of of you know 30 grand or something like that keeps the ball rolling growing the brand which make more than that honestly which is interesting because way to go james back on his shit after ryan was up in the bar so uh me and ryan actually They had that conversation a couple weeks back. About his jet ski. This is the one time it didn't work out. Yeah. You fucked me.

I'm sitting there. I go, you know what? Yeah. Let's talk about the jet ski. Okay, so me and Ryan are in the truck, and I don't know how it came up, but I was just like, I want to buy a Lamborghini. So I kind of told Ryan, I planted that idea in Ryan's head where I was just like, you know what?

Blow your money. We're in such a weird position. Blow your money. Like, recklessly. Not in that termage, but it kind of came, it pretty much came off like that, right? Can I just say one thing before you step in, not blowing all of your money? Right. You have still money in your bank.

But yeah, you're recklessly spending a lot of money. The line that's stuck with me that Ben says, he goes, yeah, man, it's honestly selfish of you to have money to save your money. That's what he said. He said it's selfish, not of me or of anybody who goes, it's selfish of you to save your money and just hold on to it. I go, fucking dick. And I go, yeah, you're right. It is. And I go, I've always wanted a stand-up jet ski.

Fuck it. Yeah. If there's one on Facebook, I'm buying it. Buy the best, most expensive one I can buy. It was literally the best, most expensive one in the tri-state area. And it has disappointed me. He wrote it for two hours. Yeah.

About that? And it's costed you so much money in repairs and it's not even fixed yet. I've only written it for the video. Everyone goes, where you get the backflip yet? I'm like, no, it broke during the video. And I have not written it since. So, like, two days later, Ryan goes out and spends $14,000 on a stand-up jet ski that was supposed to be, like, the best stand-up jet ski of all time. That thing's a piece of shit.

We basically put it in the water. And from the first five minutes, we were like, there might be something wrong with this thing. I still don't know if there was. I don't think there was. Maybe not. Maybe we were just idiots. I don't know, man. The way it looked.

I know everyone's like, you were wrong, CJ. You didn't ride it. But, like, I was looking at it, and I was watching him ride it. And I was listening to it. And I was watching the videos. I was like, this one doesn't seem like something's right about it. Sure enough, it looked great. It did look great.

We convinced Ryan to try and backflip it. Well, yeah, I was like, let's go into that a little bit. Okay, so everyone watching our videos, right? They're going to expect you to do a backflip in the first video or maybe shortly after that. Because it's a back, it's like a stand-up back-flip jet ski. So it's like, and if I were in Ryan's shoes, I just remember being like, I would hate this right now. I was like, I don't want to, we've ridden a stand-up for, what, collectively an hour, you know, they're hard to ride. And then it's just like, cool, so you're going to backflip it in this video?

And Ryan's like, we'll probably have to, at least try. That was the vibe. And, like, that's another hardship of making content. Like, it really is. I would never personally buy a backflip jet ski just because I know, then I'd have to fucking back-flip it. So there was that. And I don't want to do that. You're smart.

It's like buying a fast car. You buy a fast car. Everyone's going to want to see how fast it is. And then boom, you're in jail. Or boom, you fucking sunk your jet ski in and it sucked up a bunch of water. And it corroded the internals because you didn't know there was a bunch of water in there. And now you have three grand into the new motor. And it's not even done yet.

What is going on with your jet ski now? What's the... He ordered the parts. What's the overall issues? Okay. Well, it got water in it. And I knew that's bad. So I tried to start it.

And then trying to start it so much, drain the battery. The low voltage on the battery took out the ECU. So then the ECU broke. So I had to get a freaking ECU from Australia. Then the ECU from Australia comes after like three weeks. So then water has been sitting an engine for three weeks. So then I tried to start it. Get it running.

You heard it. And I was like, yes, this is great. Put it all back together. Won't start. I'm like, what the heck? We tear it apart. It turns out it was the whole. entire inside of the engine was rusted and had rocks and it was just a total mess.

So it's now fully broken, new crank, new pistons, new cylinders, everything. I will say I've never seen the inside of a motor rusted like that. With 45 minutes on it. Yeah. So dumb. So anyway, $2,500 later, I should have enough parts to get it running again. Yeah, man, that sucks. That's when like a, you know, that's the domino effect.

of one conversation going that's one time though it has actually kind of not worked out normally when we make the dumbest purchases we can justify buying this shitty fake Lamborghini because it is shitty I'm not going to say

how much money but that first Lamborghini video made it paid for the fake Lamborghini and then and then Ken uploads it to Facebook and the Facebook one makes 10 grand I'll say that the Facebook made 15,000.

We're Facebookers now. I didn't even know that you could make money on Facebook. Everyone's in the comments section. You guys are so fucking dumb. Like all this, I was like, I already knew it was going to, I just, no one buys a fake Lamborghini. Especially at that price. Let's get that in mind too.

But it was so on par for our brand. But yeah, it worked out and it unfolded. And now it's like anything we do with it is just straight profit. And every time we use it, it's like a million view video. We can justify the dumb. missed investment. We can make an investment out of damn near anything as long as you can make it entertaining. Yeah, that's the best part about our lives. Lately, we haven't been so destructive. Like, I know we did that with the Amazon stuff and before that.

That stuff was cheap. Yeah, it was cheap. But you'll get people that are like, wow, like you buy it just to destroy it. And then I'm like, well, obviously you don't get it. If you get it, just be entertained by the video and just understand that we're making it back. I get, you know, but like. Dude, why do people care? I remember we got an. email about the the chairs like chair smashing is our thing bro yeah that was some mom that was let's talk about this we're known for smashing every white plastic chair in sight and we smashed probably coming up 500 to roughly 1,000 bro wouldn't you think more that's so high that is

way more than all right you've probably smashed like 150 we bought like we only when we went to go buy 200 for randy we came home with like 50 okay and we've bought All right, for story's sake. We broke a million chairs. I don't know how many chairs you've broken, but we've broken more white plastic chairs than probably anyone else in the world. Because I don't know why anyone else would do this. But we've broken all these plastic chairs.

Some mom writes this book of an email, sends it to us, and it's talking to us about how we are setting such a bad example for kids breaking the white plastic chairs, and then how it's filling up the land. landfills with plastic and like we're starting this trend of breaking them which is only going to add more plastic to it and I was like holy shit I didn't I didn't think about that but also I think that lady was giving us too much credit it's a yeah I don't think anyone else is going out doing that but also like it's a white plastic chair it's going to end up in the

garbage anyways out of everything we do that imagine the demand for white plastic chairs increase so strongly that we're affected we're affecting single-handedly affecting the environment. And that's one of those things you got to choose your battles. We are that influential over the plastic chair market. That show is funny. And I bet your kid watches. The kid probably doesn't even know.

Because if they care that much to email us. If your mom's a caring bitch, they could have been in her. Jesus. Let's move on. Ryan. Ryan. You are in the hot seat. Fuck.

So Ryan's like, am I? How do you, when did you become such a psycho? Oh my God. I knew this was coming, dude. I just didn't think it was coming this fast. I didn't know where he was going with it, but it was such a subtle leading. I mean, you might as well ask it right out of the bat. Dude, I don't know.

I don't know how I became this. I've tried everything. Do I've heard caffeine makes you angry? I caught out Mountain Dews. like how hard did you try that though when was last time you saw me drink a as soon as ryan found out that yeah you're right we had some last this week as soon as as ryan found out the mountain dews weren't crediting to his psychonist right that i can be bad on no something though ryan is the nicest guy you ever meet yeah you can if you get

them ticked off in the right way you do snap do that hold up so so everyone does what what else did you try and cut out though before we completely ditch that one like what else did you think it could be i tried cutting out tv at night He tried integrating more jerking off. Were you Googling this? Yeah, you just like Google like, why am I irritable. Oh, that's a great word. Okay.

Yeah, and like that's why I feel like it is. But still, the caveat to me, you said, I'm a nice guy, which I would like to think is true. You are. I mean, next to Micah, like if I had a new friend, which I never have a new friend, but let's say I did have one, I'd bring him around and I know you two would be like easily the most nice and friendly towards them and treat them the best not saying these guys wouldn't but like you're gonna go the extra mile yeah i could agree with that i don't i don't know why i am the way that i am but like i'm i'm really nice exactly i'm nice to people that i like don't know like you could be like you could

like hit me with your car i'm like you could like hit me with your car and i'm like i'm so sorry i shouldn't have been right in the park you know whatever like that you are that kind of guy you say sorry i'm sorry yeah that's the people that are nice to me and love me like my friends, the people I work with, those are the people I'm an assort. I don't know why. I wouldn't go that. I wouldn't say that you're an asshole. But we also kind of push your buttons. Well, I mean, so we do ask for it.

Yeah, but not like really because you guys are never like that much of dicks. I don't know. Everybody's the same to everybody I will say. Everyone gets their own shit. You know what's funny though is when we're picking on Ryan, that's not what pisses him off. It's like when I'm picking on Ken, that's what pisses them up or like things are getting like way out of hand or like they're getting off schedule

it's kind of like at the bachelor party when they were wrestling on the dock fighting whatever and you were you were pretty mad about that why were you mad why were you so mad he's causing a scene and then my first instincties go i wasn't that mad totally was totally was uh i think it was because i was like all right guys uh you've been doing this for like since ken woke up like it had been like two hours. 10 in the morning until about noon. Yep, tell about noon. It was Justin's Bachelor party.

I just wanted to go on the lake. I was getting off schedule in my brain. I was like, let's go, let's go. I want to get out, drink, whatever. And then I don't know. I was like, all right, just quit. And I think it was a little bit like we were filming. I was like, oh, this Justin's Bachelor party.

I don't know. If he's upset, talked with him, he was totally fine. But I was like, I don't know. I just was like sick of it in the moment. And I was like, stop. And then shortly after you guys did. But God damn, then I watch it in the video. It was hilarious.

And then it was hilarious. Ryan is super duper nice, like 90% of his entire life or more, whatever. We stretch the psycho thing. Yeah, we definitely do. But basically, it's the person that just is super nice until they just snap. And it's not like a bad snap. It's going to fucking shank somebody. You're just like, bro, like, it just boils over and then it happens.

And so, honestly, one, it's almost nice to expect that to happen. but we expect it so much that we obviously clown on it. That is the thing. We really make it seem like it's more than it is, which I think we've almost convinced you that you're more of a psycho than you are just by calling you like our resident psycho.

I think you've got my girlfriend freaked out. Stuff like that. She's like waiting. Stuff like that. Yeah. Is he going to hit me? We haven't been named that long and like we really haven't gotten in anything. And she's like, you're always so nice.

Why does everyone say that you're a psycho? And I'm like, I am. but I'm not like I don't know really how to explain I will say Alondra is like you're a kryptonite you are just the happiest guy around her you are you're always very but you're not you're not faking it no no no he's just

genuinely happy they're in like their own little world no matter what's going on which is it's beautiful to see I love seeing it so she's worried uh I mean she's just I'm sure she has asked she's like are you gonna are you gonna go psycho on me It's like one of her kinks, like she's asking for it. Ryan, go psycho.

Go psycho on me. No, baby, you don't want that. Trust me. And we're over here like, trust me. You don't want that. Does that piss you off when we call you a psycho? It definitely probably makes you more mad. I don't react to it, though.

You don't react to it. Like, I'm not a psycho. He understands the reaction and the response, like I was saying last. Well, because sometimes you call me a psycho when I'm clearly not. And then I go, okay. And then other times, when I, actually, I think it's because you call me a psycho when I'm not being a psycho. But all the times when I freak out and I'm being a total lunatic, you guys let me slide.

You don't confront me. It's because you're going psycho, you're like, okay, it's true. Everyone just step away. We're going to let them cool off. And I won't say, that's why you get punched in the face. I won't say too much since Jamie can't defend himself, but Ken calls you psycho if you literally. Tim's over on accident. But Ken is also equally.

is afraid of Ryan when he does go psycho so Ken doesn't say it when it's like That's true yeah Like Ken's the last dude As big as you are you'd really hide when it comes home When it's real dude I hide I run away I mean what's Ryan and you

Punch me in the face Probably Ben's like I'm not there's actually a story that one time You probably you probably don't even know this So little It's just so young It was a good one It was my ex-girlfriend's birthday party

And you were pushing my buttons that day dude we're at Chubs I can picture I know the spot I remember you were like get your shit together you were just all up in me and I was so mad dude I literally turn around I was like flexing I was literally gonna hit you I was the closest yeah

I do remember so drunk I was so drunk and I remember waking up in the morning and going man I can thank God thank God I didn't hit Ben that would have been awkward that would have been one time when we were drinking Ben tried to punch me but I blocked it and then like I was like so fucking happy I blocked it he like came with this

Do you remember this? It was right by the hot tub in the old shop. I was like, he started fucking with him. He started fucking with me. Like, he started hitting me on the side of the head. Well,

you kept hit you on the, no, I kept kicking you on the shin. He kept slapping me. No, he kept kicking you on the side of the shin. He was kicking. I was kicking.

But not that hard. And then you went and pissing me off. And like, went like that, but you threw like kind of like sideways. Thank God you don't know how to throw a punch. So I literally, I literally just went like this and like your wrist hit.

And then, like i was like holy shit this who's actually pissed and i like step back this dude and then literally like 30 seconds there's hey dude i'm sorry thank god but that's probably it's probably punch clarity it's probably exactly that's true man you know one thing i gotta say about ben ben loves to get under people's skin he likes riling people up you know what he doesn't like anybody that comes riling at him up yeah anybody starts razzing you you get pissed bro it's like that one video when i told you that you're getting dumber every day you're genuinely rat He was rattled.

I'll say from my, from my standpoint, I don't think that you get pissed, but you don't take it well. You'll talk about it throughout the day. Yeah, like, he kept bringing up, like, oh, yo, C.J's dishing it out now to everybody. You can't do anything, right? I was like, I just told you you you were getting dumber every day. That's not that bad. All I got to say is if it makes anybody feel any better, I'm terrified for my hot seat, so. Okay, anyways.

This is in my hot seat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's move forward here. Ryan, since you're in the hot seat, what were you doing before YouTube? What were you doing? I don't know. For work, I was working landscaping. I was about to transition in working construction.

That really sucked. I feel like our lives, like recreational-wise, were always very similar. Like, we're kind of doing on a smaller level what we do now. We're still riding dirt bikes on the weekends. We're still going on the lake, stuff like that. I don't know. I'd spend a lot more time in Fargo, like with my Fargo. Like with my Fargo friends

You were in college I was in college In a frat I was in a frat So you were You were kind of working the labor lifestyle But I mean you were in college You were going for business correct

And what do you think you would have done with that degree If it wasn't for this I knew this question was coming Do you think it would have done? I don't know Yeah that's fine I was thinking about this today When Ken and I were packing hats

And I feel like Many times in my life I'm not in control of it and maybe that's why I get upset sometimes but like I never know what I want to do like I never knew what I wanted to do for a job I just knew that I had to go to college like that was that was the next step next step if you didn't have anything online yeah mm-hmm uh had to go to college and then I was like well I guess after that I'll figure it out I thought about doing construction with my dad but I suck at that so that wouldn't have worked out like I truly don't know what I would be doing if I

in here. And I think it's tough on me sometimes, too, because sometimes I feel like I don't know what I'm doing here. And I just like, I want to do better. I want to like do the most. I think we all feel that way sometimes. Yeah. And it's tough.

So you didn't feel like you graduating college because you graduated with a business management, something like that. Do you feel like you were like more prepared being graduated with like a degree like to go out into the world or you're just as confused as you were when you went in? I feel like I learned things, but I feel like you learn more about like interacting with people and like creating a network. Like that's what I would say college did for me.

Was like meeting people and like establishing connections through like something to do. So like after college you're like, oh yeah, you know, I went to school with this guy and he does this thing. And it just kind of like taught you how to be an adult. That's how I feel. College teaches you how to be an adult, but I don't feel any more prepared. Like, I was speaking up in class being like, oh, yeah, no, for this tax thing, this is how, like, you can do it.

Because I remember in my business tax class, they're like, oh, yeah, this is, like, these three ways. And I was like, oh, yeah, this is how we did it. And, like, I learned that prior to my business tax college senior year of college. I will say I wish I did have a college degree like you. But, like, obviously, I'm not going to fucking, like, I'm not going to waste my time doing that right now. Simply wouldn't be worth it. But it doesn't necessarily gain you. But, like, if it would have been ideal, like, obviously, I would have taken it.

So that is nice that you have it. I feel like the complete opposite. It is nice having, like, it's a flex saying, like, I didn't, like, really go to, I mean, I went to college, but I didn't finish or. And I feel like in the, it is almost like a flex now kind of. If you're doing well, yeah, if you're doing well. And I feel like legit, like, wow. Directly in the middle of that. Like, I went to two-year school.

I was, like, in and out. I was, like, graduated before. before Ben graduated high school. Obviously, I'm older than him, but two years in and out, I went for graphic design, which worked out perfectly. But, yeah, it's like, had I not graduated and we were doing exact this, I don't think I'd be too upset about it. Dude, when people are like, oh, should I go to college or not,

or what should I do? You're like, what do you want to do? Yes, yeah, for sure. But I always reference how good two-year degrees are because of how well you've done with it but like you don't you go in you get your two year degree and you know exactly what you're going into after it i feel like that's how two year degrees work right there was no yeah there's no generals i mean there was like public speaking which honestly helped me dick you around psychology that which helped me too but that was it it was just like i went in there to learn what i need to do and then

they send you off and they have speakers that literally graduated from the same place that come in and they're like yep i freelance or yep i work here and then you're like all right i can do that even kind of set you up with a job i yeah i personally think that the trade grades are are only going up and i think that like the typical just like for your college degree unless you're going to be like a doctor a lawyer or a dentist you know somewhere you need to go if you're going for like business or like uh whatever arts like stuff like that i don't i don't know if it's necessarily going to separate you from the pack because everyone has that and and like unless you have some experience

or something to prove like you're probably not going to outshine the other guy trying to get the job that's true it's like a lot of things you're going to be a step ahead if you just have some random experience in anything right whether that experience is like yeah I got hired on a gig doing something that I've never went to school for but I learned how to do it on YouTube and then right so you were in college we talked about this on the first podcast I was out because I was I dropped out Ben wasn't in it Michael wasn't you know so like you were a popular guy in college like a lot of people knew you you had a lot of friends you're good to make friends um so we start up this C-boys like TV thing on YouTube back then it wasn't very like no one really knew about YouTube people still don't know about YouTube

but they just like didn't understand how was their reactions towards it well that's like it's tough because I had friends that were really like supportive of it through but then there was a lot of people that were kind of like, oh, what is that? Oh, cool. They were making funny. Yeah, it was kind of like a, they were like backhanded compliments. They were like, oh, you're going to go film a video this weekend? I'm like. Right. Like that kind of like. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't think it really became an issue almost until we got into like a bit larger of a point. And it was like, I don't know, say 100K. And it was like we were doing it. And people then would hear. And they'd be like, oh, Ryan's one of those C boys. And they'd like come up to you in a body. So, how have

see boys and i'd be like try to like make funny and i'd be like how's class like i would just always like try to brush it off right you're such a nice guy no you could always just tell that it was like kind of a backhanded compliment they weren't genuinely they weren't genuinely wondering how you were doing how it was trying to chirp you they're trying to put you down it was like a chirp yeah and i think that was pretty tough for a while like during our sea boys like years the beginning when we didn't really have like a ton the startup phase is always so hard exactly and you had that wearing on you Mm-hmm. Yeah, because I had a lot of outside people. I remember this, like, conversations we had, and I was like, no, you guys don't understand. Like, this is what people on the outside are saying. Yeah. And you were kind of, it was, I'm sure it was kind of embarrassing. It, impartially. In a way.

Because at this point, it was getting razzed. It was not our full-time job. It was none of ours. I mean, what did you think, like, was it going to come of it? Did you even, like, I mean, what did you think of it at the time? Did you think it was ever going to be something? Or do you think it was just kind of something we were going to. going to do as a fad it was just something to pass the time what'd you think uh i mean i always believed in us in like what we could do but i would definitely say my mentality was like yeah it's worked so far and we're going to keep we're going to keep doing it until it doesn't work and now is kind of the narrative that like stuck with but for a while dude i'd same same i agree with that i was just like you'd see the numbers and you're like well at 100k why would we turn back now you know it's just like

I think it's going to work, so I'm going to keep pushing for it. People still say that, though, to this day. Yeah, exactly. What are you going to do after? If or what? What are you going to do? I didn't think we'd be at a million. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, obviously, I wanted to be. Right, right. But, like, you know, I didn't know where we'd be at a million. I don't know where we're going to be at five. I don't know where we're going to be at 10. And there's a beauty to not thinking that deeply about it. Obviously, make some goals and plan for things.

But there's a beauty to being like, I don't know, but I'm enjoying it. were growing yeah i remember uh just one particular moment and you might have just it was i'm sure you had a lot going on you kind of had a snap but uh i brought the camera with for something i was filming something that we were doing and uh it was in the very very early days and you were like why are you filming this like stop filming this like i'm like people are making fun of me at school and shit like I remember that and I was like oh damn like I felt kind of bad and I like put it down but I was like no fuck those guys dude this is gonna be you're gonna be huge I don't know if I said you're gonna be huge but I was like fuck those guys who cares what they think you always had faith

in it like full 100% faith you had a vision from it from the beginning and that's what like I never had but I didn't have those people in my ears chirping and so hard where we're located we don't hang around any other people like us that are and they're like us but they're not like us like they're not doing our thing they're not in our world and uh it's like when you're surrounded by so many normal people you start kind of almost like comparing yourself to them and you're like man i don't know if i'm doing the right thing you know you start second guessing it and i think it's just so important that you don't uh compare yourself to others like that you know yeah i mean if you want to be normal then obviously look up to people that have

or normal. That's an interesting thing is that being normal, it's to some people, that is a compliment. When I was a kid, so I played hockey growing up all my years, I would like, I wasn't like the, I was sometimes a good player and other times I was the worst player and other times I was probably in the middle, I would say more so. But I remember I would be coming home from a game or whatever, and I'd be like, I, uh, I did better than, then so and so. And my dad would be like, so, why are you comparing yourself to him?

you should be comparing yourself to this guy to this guy because he's the best and and i think that's something that you know it almost makes it hard for us because like we look at everyone around us they live like just the very textbook lifestyle we don't live that life we didn't really sign up for that life we should compare ourselves to the people that we want to be like you know so like logan paul um and i'm not saying you need to be exactly like him but like your idols you look up to the people that are doing better than you not people that are just but it is interesting to compare yourself like for hockey for example the best player on the team you knew him you met him you play with him you get to compare yourself if you want to to him but i was like we compare you know yeah to his game

uh we compare ourselves let's say to like nalker logan paul or anyone big on youtube or anyone that we aspire to be like that's how you grow but yeah absolutely but we don't get to meet them necessarily and hash it out or even get their brains right their brains or what they're doing if you want to keep going up you got to compare yourself to people above you if you're going to compare it all you really shouldn't compare but if you if you want to i mean maybe self-reflect and try to make yourself better then sometimes it is good but never compare to somebody who's doing equally as good as you or worse than you because then it's like you're never going to move up. And you're just like, oh, I'm doing good. And I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I don't need to

work harder. I don't, I don't, I don't need to do better. Exactly. And that's kind of the moral of that, that point I wanted to get into. So we asked Ken this, did you ever see yourself being a YouTuber? Oh, not until I, we were YouTubers. Not in a literal million years. The only backtrack I have on is there was a time in my life when I said the only thing I'm good at is having fun. You are really good, dude. I always wanted to be a professional snowmobiler.

I wanted to do this. I want to do that. I could see myself in an unusual lifestyle, but never would have thought that YouTube would have been the path that would have taken me there or the road that I'm on. Isn't it crazy how you used to say

you wanted to be a professional snowmobiler and you basically live that same lifestyle? And I don't have to be good. You don't have to be good, but like 10 times better. Like, you know, you're, you're so much, there's so much more to you than being a professional snowmobiler. You hang out with them. Dude, you know him out. That's right.

Right. Nothing, not that there's anything wrong with that. Like, I'm not saying that. I'm saying, like, you're, there's so much more to Ryan Iworks than he's a professional snowmobiler. Granted, I don't know if that's like a compliment or, I would say, I would say it is. You always want to be like, you know, it's like being a basketball player. There's more, you would want to be more to you than just being good at basketball, just being good at all the basketball players you talk about is because they live this

lifestyle or they act this way off the court, you know, they have a personality behind them. So when did you, when did you see it becoming a reality? Because you worked, what was the last job that you had before you went like full time? I worked at Corwin at the detailing center with like a, that was an eye-opening experience. of people that were like truly content with just like a beat just doing their day and we were kind of like coming up and it was new year like Christmas break of my senior year because I'd quit I did construction the summer before started that job back up and then I was like all right I'm going to be done doing this and then that whole semester I went full time here and any time I would have spent

working at Corwin. I came, I drove out to the lake like three or four days a week, like cram my schedule together so we could come, we could print shirts at the time. Yeah. But that was the moment when I knew. I was like, all right, I'm going all in on this. Like, I'm not even going to think about doing construction after I'm done, which was my initial plan. It was like, all right, now this is what I'm going to do. So going into it, did you have like kind of a game plan of like this is what I want to like do once I'm in the business or is it like, I'm going to just dive in and figure it out? A bit of a dive in and figure it out.

At the time, like, our business has changed a lot. We were doing a ton of, like, screen printing stuff like that. Like, I would say that was one of my main roles at that point. It was, like, helping in whatever way that I could just to get, like, those shirts out the door and managing all of that. And then now it's grown so big and we've kind of changed it that Ken's taking it over. But like, at that time, I was like, all right, this is what I'm going to come in and start to do. And then we'll see where it goes from there.

you know what's crazy is even back then it was like taking such a chance on like this is what it could turn into or this is what this is what my role could be because like we really weren't getting paid and it was like constantly changing you know what we were doing it was basically just like a huck and pray every single day which besides the schedule we created now it's still that way there was times in that year where like credit card payments would come up because i kind of lived the same way like i had a little bit of a check coming in at least and it was like tight there was more there was times when i would like pay the minimum balance on my credit card because we wouldn't we wouldn't get paid and it was like yeah boys we there's literally no money we have no money we paid all of our bills but there's nothing for everybody else like we got to keep grinding and those were like the some of the most like nose to the grindstone maybe we weren't even doing it the right way like you talked about the first fucking there to work we're grinding And it backs up against the wall.

Like, you had no option but to try to make money and, like, make it work in any way that you could. Yeah, it's crazy how long that was our mentality. It still is. Obviously, it's changed a little bit. But it's crazy how long it was just like, fuck it. Just put it in the work and figure the rest out later. I feel like it's like a slingshot. Like, you pull this back, right?

And like, you're building all this momentum. And now we finally let go. and then we built up and we're at like the point right now where it's like even where we like finally have like caught up we're like safe-ish but like we have so much more to go

and we're like shooting at the moon like now we're pointing we built up all our momentum we got momentum we got our momentum but now we're like trying to point where we want to go and like keep the ball in there I guess circling back around just the other part that's what I'll be forever grateful

for being able to if you're backs up against the wall to just work harder. Like, I'm super grateful for that. And by that, I mean, work harder and then, like, you know, make more content, make more whatever, and then get that money back. But if you are working, like, a normal job, if you're working for someone or if you're working for someone who's working for someone, you can't do that. You've got to go out and get another job.

And so, or whatever, you know, you got to go out and mow someone's lawn or whatever. So, like, that's one part. I've been super grateful when our backs against the wall, we can brainstorm. and make money, I guess. It's been a really good thing versus having to find other ways. Just spend more time. I mean, we spend the time, but it's like.

Yeah, but yeah, I guess go grab another job and you're just like peddling. And I definitely don't want to talk down on anyone who's ever in that situation. But it's a beautiful thing being able to have your back against the wall and then push forward in a positive way. We went full business business mode on this podcast.

That's why we're number one. Yep. Let's get a little off business. Let's get into some good story time. Ryan, your driving record is impeccable today, but when you were a kid, holy, you were like a nightmare. You were a nightmare.

You had every ticket. You had lost your license. I think you were facing jail time. You got a good lawyer. You got a good lawyer, you guys. Facing jail time. You were facing jail time? In a freaking siont, T.C.

Dude, I always wanted to. fast car like you had a WRX and stuff i was like man if i had that that'd be great i would be in jail i'd still be in jail let's get into how many tickets you had and then your worst one well you had two really bad ones well my first ever ticket i was showing my buddy luke how fast my car could go on a dark country road we're doing like 95 or something like that because it hardly could go over a hundred miles an hour but we did it so much but we did it so much uh and the cop pulled me over and let me off because I was like 16. I'd had my license for like three weeks and he gave me a 65 and a 55 and I did not take

that like off the hook. No, I just kept going. Just kept driving fast. You're like, wow, nice guy, nice guy. Man, all cops are nice. I don't know. I probably got like three or four. I remember like pretty frequently I was one ticket away from losing my license.

Like that was the line that I rode. I was like, all right, if I get one more ticket, I lose my license so I can't speed. And then that one would go off a big. Okay, I'll get another. And one day, well, we started doing this thing, or I started doing this thing. And it was how fast I could make it. You, yeah. Yeah, oh yeah.

And once you set this record, I was like, I can't even touch that. I'm not going to try. I still to this day, go on. I can't tell what it was. So the competition was how fast you could get from the lake to Fargo. And it's normally a 50 minute drive now, at least 55 somewhere. And I think I had it down. to like,

it was in the 20s, like high- 26. I don't know how that's possible. Yeah, the average person does it in 46.

Yeah. Basically, you just double the speed limit the entire way. Like, I remember down the road curves like 95, 100.

Unbelievable. I don't think I have the balls to do it now in my car. Unbelievable. We were so dumb. We didn't know, like,

if you hit a deer at 100, it's going to hurt. You can possibly kill you. It's going to for sure to toll your car. But we never, for some reason,

even hit any. No, I never, I never stopped. At the stop signs there? You'd blow them. Like 65. I remember that.

How would you not see cops? I see cops all the time. I think times have changed. Times have changed. But I remember I would do the same thing. And it was just like you would just, it would be a, like, like playing chicken with yourself. How long can you hold the pedal to the floor? And I think my best was maybe like in the 30s.

Yeah. I don't know how the frick, Ryan did it. And I remember. And I remember. That's insane. On the main street. You didn't. Basically lift the whole time.

Allegedly. Allegedly. This was years ago. I mean, six years ago? What's the statue of limitation? I don't know. Dude, who gears? They're not going to give it.

Anyways, so that shit was crazy. You and the Siont.C. was nuts. That was by far my most reckless driving age. 180 horsies of just going. To the brim. To the brough, man. Everywhere. We took that thing through the field in Jake's, all of them.

the fields gravel roads we'd load up in it ripped the e-break we'd rip it on dry pavement once we figured out we could drift on dry pavement you figured out my back tires were literally shredded they had flat spots in them my favorite part is that you then would just roll that into the winter like if anyone's wondering how to not like you know go into the ditch in the winter or whatever slide around just get just get new tires Ryan didn't but somehow just rocked it we got chased by this Like, we got chased by a gold jeep. I'm not going to go into this story because it's kind of funny, but we got chased. Some dude just, like, pissed off that we were ripping on the lake.

And then, yeah, we were all on the, and then Ryan, he's like, yeah, dude, he chased me up to 100 on this, like, back road. And I went 100 with the tires I have, which were, like, racing slicks. I'm like, dude, how do you not die? Snowy road. It just makes you look back, though, like, how many young kids are out there with your license? Like, dude, when I'm in my Evo or even my new car now, but especially the Evo because I feel like people think they maybe have a chance then i'll have so many kids come up and want to race and

just like they it's maybe a kind of fast car i'm like dude like i'm not going to risk racing you on this road and possibly both of us lose our license or or some someone get hurt um but like back then you didn't think about that there's no consequences you're just happy to be there about being a kid dude there was no consequences at that there is but there is consequences there's real consequences there is don't live your life yes no it's not you got to be careful for sure to the young drivers out there yeah you should say i felt like there was no consequence that's it's the feeling i was like if you want to go rip it you're gonna feel like you might be invincible but i was like you're just as something not invincible as anyone else we're very lucky so tell the story

yeah tell the story about your ticket that damn near put you in jail at how old were you i think i was i i don't yeah i probably was 18 um i'd went into fargo and it was like 3 a m on a wednesday i I had to work my landscaping job at literally 5.30 in the morning is when we were leaving. And I'm like, great. If I get home, if I can get another like 30 minute drive home, I can sleep for like two hours. And I just hauled ass out of four. I think I texted, I was like leaving Fargo now. And I was going to text when I got to my door.

So it was like well past midnight at this point. Yeah, yeah. It was like 3 a.m. I come flying over this hill and I just had a hunch, just a hunch that I was like, I don't, I think there might be like a cop up here or something. I don't know. Slowed down to like a hundred. That was, that's what it was. It was a hundred on the dash.

And I'd come over the hill, radar detectors, and I was like, fuck, lock up the brakes. Turnoff, cop pulls out behind me, comes up. Gun, like, out of his holster coming up across the street. And I'm, like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck. That's right. I'm, like, hands on a steering wheel. He comes up, and he, like, puts his flashlight right in my face,

and my cat, my family cat was sleeping on the passenger. your seat and the guy burst out laughing and I go oh I'm totally off probably scared he's like man this guy's white who the hell does a hundred with their cat like it was a but anyway uh yeah so he goes are you drunk and I'm like no I'm dumb but I'm not that stupid I didn't drink at the time I was like I would never and so uh And he goes like, okay, we'll give me your license. Do you know how fast you were going? And I was like, uh, pretty fast.

And he was like, 101. And I was like, fuck. Because I knew as soon as you break 100. A hundred is you lose your license. And if you have a passenger, his attempted manslaughter. So I was like, fuck. So he goes back. I'm like, maybe he'll let me off.

Like, you know, it let me down to a hundred. Literally a hundred and 99, whatever, yeah. 99, yeah. And so he comes back and goes, okay, here's your ticket for 101. Should just be a ticket, like whatever. I go to work or I go home Just sick I'm literally sick to my stomach

I wake up at 5 in the morning My dad's up too And I'm just sitting eating in my cereal Like shaking goes like What's wrong? What's wrong dudes? And I'm like I got a ticket last night

And he goes Oh no How much? I was like A hundred and one I think he just like calmly stood up and walked He was so bad

He literally couldn't even look at me I was like fuck Because he was already paying how much for insurance on you a month. Oh my gosh. Because you were, what, 17 and your insurance was like 500 bucks a lot? No, it went. For how slow it was, it was not cheap. If you maybe have a number on that of what it went to after that ticket?

I'm pretty sure it was borderline illegal how much they charged us. Bro, you were probably like more than most people pay for DUIs. Probably. Honestly, at that rate. And so anyway, I had to, I went to high school with this girl. and I was like, hey, your mom's a lawyer, right? And she's like, yeah, for like businesses. And I was like, can she represent me in court?

Because I'm going to lose my license. And she's like, ah, yeah, I think so. And so anyway, I got represented and didn't end up losing my license. We fought real hard. Or going to jail. Or going to jail. And were they threatening jail time? I think it's like, you know, like jail time and a fine.

And so, yeah, I got it down to 99. So it was a $385 ticket, not bad. And I paid a couple thousand for the lawyer fees. And then I had to go to a crime prevention class, which is one of the highlights of my life, honestly. I never knew how much the lawyer was either. You were with actual kids who were probably going to commit crimes. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. There was young people that had like, they were in gangs. And they were like trying to scare them out. It was like a scared straight thing, but like just in a classroom. But and it was all these kids They were like, yeah I got caught with a gun

They're just screaming at Ryan And everyone else obviously Like that's what I picture scared straight like No, it was literally It wasn't like the holiday inn and Moorhead We were like sitting in a little boardroom We got cookies and stuff like Really?

Yeah, but they were on drugs Yeah, but there was yeah People that had like gotten It was mainly a lot of dewees A lot of dewees And then a couple kids that were like Yeah, I got caught with a gun I'm 16

And then there's you And then there was me I was doing a hundred and one Attempted cat slaughter That's what we call that story Damn that's a crazy story dude You didn't get pulled over a lot Yeah and then after that I kind of clean my life up

And then you learned your lesson Yeah definitely learned my lesson after that You literally clean he cleaned his room Everything And then I started to get window tint tickets And then that's just bogus As it gets there You know, those probably will never go away.

I have a slight story I can add to my early driving days. I rear-ended my second-grade teacher. I forgot about that. Yeah, right before Christmas. So, like, I'm in Fargo, like, driving in town. Fucking, the traffic was busy. I wasn't used to having, like, a lot of traffic. So the stop was, everyone backed up, and I was looking for a restaurant.

I was going, rear-ended this van fucking hard, dude. And I had this, this, like, older red Jeep. And she hops down. She's furious. What the hell? And then she sees his music, oh, CJ. And I was, I felt, yes, I felt like. And CJ was still in second grade at this year.

I had like 10th grade or ninth grade. But yeah, totaled out the Jeep. It still, it's still, I mean, it was totaled because it, like, it cost more to fix it. But it's still, like, it was just bent up. And I mobbed that until, like, probably senior year. Yeah, I've re-rended my second grade teacher. I mean, yeah, I was like, speaking of tickets. Like, I was going to ask, do you guys, I don't know why I counted this because I got pulled over so much.

and this is not like a one-upping Ryan story. I just, I don't have that many tickets, but I get pulled over so much, you guys. Not anymore because I don't drive that much because I lived at the shop, so whatever,

but I have gotten pulled over 52 times since I was 16. How? That's 10 years, 52 times in 10 years. How? Well, how do you not get tickets?

I think, is my question. I do, I do, but how do you not get pulled over and it's just an automatic, like, oh, it's been pulled over 52 times? That's the crazy part. Yeah. It's like, so for the,

The speeding ones, I'll get the tickets there for the window tint, so I'll get them there. But other than that, you can make up. For what? Like, what do you get pulled over for? Yeah, I remember, so, like, in my Bewick, one time I got pulled. This was more of a bogus one, but I got pulled over because my license plate was so dirty that the cop didn't think I had one. And then I get pulled over later on. And he's just like, you know, you were swerving all over the road.

And I was just got new tires. And, like, I got to get it aligned. And I was texting. And I'm also drunk. Yeah, but so you don't say those things. Oh, okay. But, uh, you were. You're 16 at the time here.

It's pretty easy to get out of. But yeah, dude, it's crazy. 52 times. Like, that's insane. It's just hot. How do you keep track of that? I don't even know. Why do you keep track of that?

Because once it hit like 25 or 30, I was just like, dude, I can pull over so much, but I don't get tickets. Like, it's crazy. I'm just going to keep track of it. So I started tallying my phone. And I have probably like 10 tickets to show for it. So like, it's like getting pulled over five times, getting one ticket. Kind of.

And a careless, try it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Does that hit your insurance, by the way? Honestly, no. No, it hasn't. My insurance hasn't gone up, which I was definitely the most worried about, but like... From the careless driving ticket you got from the video when you had the Subaru on the ice. I think the worst part is like when...

D&R was pulling up. I know, and they were pulling up and we were just about to stop. And if we were to stop, it would have been nothing. We would just been chilling, right, on the ice. And then I remember Tint was like, dude, cut it, cut it. I'm like, what are you saying? You weren't even so long. Yeah, I was like, is something wrong with my motor?

And I'm like, no, everything's good. And then he pulls up and then like, we told you to stop, bro. That was just bogus. Everyone who watched that video knows that's bogus. I'm not, I mean, I've had plenty of other, like, cops or sheriffs come up to us, like multiple of each variety, come up and say, man, so did you fight that ticket? And then we go, no, I just, we just kind of don't want to bark up the tree.

But they were like, that was bog up. I cannot believe that that ticket was pretty bogus yeah a lake in the middle of nowhere I mean I respect if you got to like if they see it obviously you can't let it slide but he actively searched us out from following us on Snapchat or Instagram or whatever which we were dumb and we're posting that shit at the time but who would have thought we didn't think we were doing anything wrong we didn't go out there like we're being bad boys if anything we were patting ourselves on the back for like for being so planned out yeah this is this is like Actually, not doing it in a Walmart parking lot.

Yeah. But anyways, he comes and tracks us down and hands it to us. Yeah. I guess that's how it goes sometimes. But you got to, sometimes you just got to bend over. Fuck. Seriously. Should we talk about the limo?

Yeah, so we're sending the limo down the road. Unfortunate times. Well, not really. I'm listening to this is going, what do you mean by sending it? Are you going to jump it? Are you going to jump it? No, we're selling it. because it honestly it's just gross we've had a lot of good times in it and it doesn't work that

well we've kind of graduated it's time to get something else or just not have it mostly the lack of ac makes it gross so hot so true with like 15 people and you breathe in and there's no i see it and then it's like oh yeah you feel sweaty and and then it smells it's always got this it's got this lingering scent to it and it's never i can never figure out what it is though it's not light it's it's heavy it's mice can just goes mice let's maybe not say that so anyway we're selling it we got our eyes on a slight upgrade which which which it's it's slight but it's gonna be sick i i want to get a party bus i think we shouldn't even fuck with this this i think we should because we're acting like the thing costs a million dollars like i think we should fuck with it because which

which one the limo that you want the limo i i just want it because we're all like oh what are we gonna do tint marker like we'll throw down and then see boys throw down and if we want like we can throw down too like it's it's six grand yeah so i mean the people the people listening right now that don't know we have this limo it's a big limo we can pile long boy yeah it's a long boy we can pile in like 18 sometimes 25 like we've had so many people in there at one point where the center of the limo is dragging going down the road but we bought it originally kind of as a joke just for video comedic purposes. But I don't think it's a joke anymore. It's not a joke anymore. We found out truly how convenient having a limo is because like rolling around, we got five guys.

You immediately add, you know, our girlfriends, our friends. You're rolling at like 10 people. It's like, well, shit, do you want to take two cars? It's a good time. Or should we all just pile in the limo? Everyone, you know, play music, have a good time. We can go out to eat, go to the bars. It's the best. Having a limo was truly, we found out a cheat code. Yeah. And now I think people in the. area are seeing us like rolling around in this limo and pile in the entire squad out and then

when we're leaving bars we're bringing all of our friends with too so that's how it gets so piled in there but people are finding out like oh shit that's a hack like it's it's truly a cheat code having a limo that's why i'm saying why aren't we just going full saying why in our party bus well just get a party bus because it's going to be great we can stand up in it the issue with the party bus though is is it like kind of i think it complicates trying to find a driver like i don't think we could just have your little brother drive a party bus i mean the small ones aren't that big i'm actually not that way i'm more worried about oh so you do need a cdl i don't okay so you do need a i don't know do you do a cdl for a party bus no it's private use you don't perfect yeah okay so i'm not that

worried about that i think for i'm more worried about the legitimate purchase so we're talking about that we were looking at this party bus that's 15,000 and this this limo that's 6,000 so we're already like just sitting around just like no should we do it should we do it and then you like add a 10 grand bill to the party bus which again I'm down for but it's like how long are we going to dick around trying to find a good party bus that's way more money and then we're are we ready to justify it that's what I'm getting at like this limo we could go cop today because like it's just that cheap Yeah, the other thing is, like, do we want to get another, like, half-sender kind of a piece of shit? But I think with this one, luckily with the excursion, why I do like it?

Is it well-made content? I don't know if the party bus wouldn't necessarily. It's not funny. It's true. And, like, our limo was so shitty. It was funny. This excursion, though, it does have content behind it that could possibly be made and people enjoy. Because if you lift it up, put big wheels on it, that's actually pretty badass.

Can we do that? Yeah, that's the plan. So, I mean, no one, again, to fill you guys in. again it's an excursion it's a super long boy excursion and i would assume that you can just put an excursion lift on it and then we'll get custom offsets to get us some wheels and it'll actually be sick i don't care if we drive it for a year that's just what i want to do i am not disagreeing on the party bus because i think that's where we'll end up i'm down does it smell no that's the best smart it's here what it's here what it's here mark you all right decision made we're buying

All right, wait, wait, wait, Mark just pulled up in that limo that we are potentially buying, but now something tells me if we got it. Sounds like we just bought it. Holy shit, dude. You just watched real time how shit works around here. Again, the last podcast, we ended with the pirate ship, and now Mark's like, by the way, I brought it.

It's here. Hey, Mike, do you have any plans this weekend? You've been on a roll lately, bro. Yeah, I do. I'm going to a film festival tonight. How many girls are you bringing home? At least two, possibly four. Really?

I can you imagine bro Mike your life is like I'm just watching you blossom into this playboy it's quite honestly entertaining to watch thank you I love to see it you know this move from there

yeah you can we talk about can we talk about last weekends I don't think so can I a little bit I think that's more inappropriate than any of them can I just mention maybe her relation to you before

it's Mike's cousin no I'm kidding I didn't know where you were going No, but it is Jake's X. Oh, my gosh. But not the one that he, like, dated publicly. Oh, not, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not that gal. To be fair, Jake has had a lot of X.

You wouldn't even know who this one is. So, uh... That's true. But Jake was cool with it. Yeah, he loved it. Me and Jake are homies, dude, dude. Like, actually, like, Jake doesn't give a fuck what I do and I don't give a fuck what Jake does. I know, I love it.

I love it. People are like, isn't it weird? Just Jake's X? I'm like, dude, dude, dude, dude, do it. Considering we rode home together. Oh, really? Yeah. They got dropped off in the same car.

Oh, that's true. Wait, how many girls are you tunnel buddies with Jake? Just stop me, when? Stop. Or? After I got past the first, I was like, wait, we'll keep going? That's impressive. What?

No, I want to actually say three, but. But you mean four. But I mean four. Well, sure. Jake's mom. Now we really got to wrap this up, you guys. Jake's mom, bro. All right, on that note, we'll see you guys next time.
