The Browns are kind of decent this year. Of course, Penn's favorite team is the Browns. One thing I will always do for the people is abuse my daily driver. That was a $100,000 car and it's worth $43. Ryan's talking. I wish it was like the first podcast when he didn't talk. Maybe we could turn it down. Could have been fatal about 10 feet to the left.

Oh my gosh, Jack. Ben, where's your little cuss? He's eating chili. Been on the job site today? Yeah, he might have showed up a minute or hour late. But it was an appointment. He had an appointment, so it's fine. This was pre-scheduled.

Yeah, pre-scheduled. It is the guy's wedding week. Yeah, I mean, he gets a bit of an exemption there. I wasn't wearing my PPE. Got domed. That was so funny. Got fucking domed in the head. That'll happen, Ryan.

You know, we wore our PPE for the intro of this video, but then once we actually got to work or we're like, well, we probably don't actually need the hard hats. I mean, I was wearing mine the entire time. Yeah. Oh, our foreman made us stick it off. Your foreman did? Yeah. You're capping, bro.

You're wearing a cap. You're right. I was wearing a cap today. But Ryan did. Yesterday, though. I wore my PBE yesterday. I literally wore it to Menards yesterday when we were walking around. You wouldn't believe how many people came and asked me questions at Menards.

Because I was wearing like this vest. It's like we worked. It might as well have said, ask me for direction. Actually, like three different people came up to me and they were asking me where like things were. And the first two, I would. just like, I don't work here, man. And then the last one I started messing with. I was fully hard-hatted up as well.

There was a new respect. Oh, yeah, dude. Especially that late in the day, they're like, oh, yeah, these guys worked for their money today. But anyone who actually knows anything, like, anyone who knows Ball would be like, what the fuck? Like, this guy's clean. This is a brand new vest.

He looks clean as hell. It's the end of the day. Like, what is he doing? No, I know. Did a photo shoot in the lumber yard with the fucking Lambot Dors up. Yeah, the Landoors were up. I'm driving around. and shit. Kind of tough. It was actually kind of tough. Yeah, you see that Raptor roll through the lumber

yard with the Lambo doors up and then you see the guy driving it hop out with a clean vest. You know he's a larper. People were staring at that thing. Really? It looked amazing. With the Lambo doors? Oh yeah. I wonder why. Ken couldn't even get out of the truck. Yeah. Yeah, how's your ankle? Ken is on injured reserve. His calf, he's been. My calf is fucked. What'd you do to it? I think I pulled it when I was trying to like run off the line or it. Have we reviewed? Yeah. Yeah, we got to review it. I don't work off the line. I think it just popped.

Context for the listener. Without spoiling anything. We're doing a build off. Two teams. We had a draft of who went to what team. That's why we're wearing, obviously. There's like an NFL combine, except for construction workers. Yeah.

So far, it's been good. It's been good. We split up. The only casualty is potentially Ken's calf muscle. Ken is getting smarter because he already wants to leave your wedding. That hasn't even happened yet early. That's what it is. He's like, oh, I pulled my calf this week.

And I, you know, I can't dance on the dance floor because of my... I can't do the stanky leg. Ken's definitely not leaving early. I'm not leaving early. He's fucking closing it down. I can already tell. I don't know about closing it down. I'm not...

My wedding. It closes down at 1145. It's not even that late. That's pretty late for me. Bro, you've been sober for three weeks. The first week started my wedding. You've fallen off the wagon five times in between, but you're, you're getting back on. it now for CJ's wedding. I've been going to bed

between like eight and nine most nights. Holy, unc status. That's crazy. I really can say about that. We used to live together. That's true. Nobody has spent more time together than me and Ken. Your roommate's getting married. Second off, I invited Ken's other half of his friend group. Like, he's got us.

We're like his work friends and then he's got his like real friends. So he won't leave. That's smart. That will help. And they are coming as well. So I know for a fact he's going to be a blast. And, yeah. Yeah, it's just crazy, man. My wedding's in, what, a couple days and two days. And we're out here building tree houses right now. It is very stressful. I got so much stuff I need to do, but we're

also just on it, getting this stuff done, ripping pods, but it'll all come together. I'm so excited. Yeah, it's going to be fun, dude. It's going to be really fun. I am too. I'm just trying to like not, which I am stressed for some reason. It's kind of weird. No, it's just, you just are. But like, dude, I'm like not sleeping very good and stuff like that. I'm just trying to enjoy it. You know, how it goes, how it goes. It'll be great. It's a good point.

I mean, dude, I think I got poison. The best way you could look like, what could happen? It's like your friends and their dumbass buddy that rides three wheelers burns the venue down? He's like, I didn't think about that, but good point. It's a historic venue that's over 100 years old. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? They haven't burned it down in 100 years.

Yeah, there's no way it happens yet. Well, hey, I'll say this, CJ, you know. As your best man, I am here to help in any way possible. So will these guys, you know, you didn't do it anything for my wedding, but maybe you were saving your energy for CJ's, Ev. What do you mean? Just stay out of trouble. I thought we did too much at your wedding.

No, no, no, to help you before your wedding. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a lead up. Okay. A lead up, you know, if we can help in any way and Ev, you just stay out of trouble and that'll do. I just keep doing what you do, baby.

Keep drinking the teas. I've been behaving. Just have fun, Ev. And, yeah, it all works. out. Yeah, I'm not too worried about it. Alex, sure is, though. About everything or just like the team? Everything. I mean, there's just so much stuff. Like, I'm just trying to figure out a lot of things where I can help. But, uh, yeah, so that's that. But have you guys seen the video of

my doors, what they sound like, not to go back? Oh, my gosh. I rode in that thing yesterday. It's so bad. I can't what you fucking drive it. It's worse than the video. What else am I going to drive? I am glad you brought that up, though, because people need to know. It's not just a little squeak, it is definitely loud. I had to get off the phone with you yesterday. We're trying to talk and I'm just like, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's annoying too and like someone calls for business.

Like, say like the FedEx guy's like, what? There's some noise going in the background. This is, and I'm like, we'll pop the video up right here. All right, so I got about two hour road trip at my truck. People are this week. People have been asking me, like, if I'm mad about it. I'm actually not mad at all. Like, I'm very happy.

that Cletus did this to me. I don't know if people think it's funny. You didn't explain to the FedEx guy that... Yeah, I just was like, yeah, it's a broken phone. Anyways, people have been, like, saying I'm a baby and stuff, and I'm sorry that it came off that I was a baby. I'm not trying to be a baby about it. I actually told Cletus, I'm like, bro,

this is, like, one of the best things that's happened to me in a while. I love it. New personality on love. I hate it, but I love it. Like, I don't like it. Underdogs on top. But I'm happy that it happened because it's fun. Like, everywhere I go, people are.

When they see me, they're like, oh, you took it all off. I go, no, just the wheels because I couldn't drive around and I throw the door up and they love it. They think it's so awesome. It's just like, it's like a party trick. And not that this is what it's all about, but CJ's most like Instagram Carousel. Yeah. That's crazy work. People love it.

And it's just fun and, like, funny. Like, you kind of always just have this little party trick. Like, you can throw the doors up in Menard's lumberyard and everyone's like, what the frick? Like, looking at you. So you came to with the life, right? Well, I've always. but what are you going to do about that squeak? Because it's like actually...

I don't know. Can you fix that? I've gotten used to it. Honestly, I really have to be adjusting. It wasn't bad under 30, but anything above like 40, 45, it's like ear piercing. Living out here in the country, you know I only drive 30. Right. I think a lot of people were acting like I didn't take it well.

I was laughing the whole time. And I honestly, I love it, but I hate it. Yeah, I love it. But I'm glad it happened. And also, Cletus and I, dude, and Ben, we... We might be better friends than ever. I know. In typical guy fashion, we just punked each other, and now we're all just like.

Just best buds. We have a group chat and we talk every single day. He's sending video and Rip. Rips like, hey, send this to the C boys. Like, everything's all good. Like, we're not mad at each other. We don't. Rips's been ripping on that new bike.

There's no beef. We were just joking. This is no comparison to your doors. I was like, so I didn't really drive my truck that much after Cletus ripped it. He didn't even rip it that hard because it doesn't even do donuts that well. I've never done this. before, but the catalytic converter is shitting itself. My exhaust is like clogged because the cats Well, that's actually good news then. Hold the rev bomb for a while. The Italian tune-up. Oh, yeah.

So I think I want to try that. Dude, I was going to say that's great. That's an easy fix. Just chop that cat off. Yeah. Chop the cat off and it probably is going to run even better. And it's worth a couple hundred bucks. True. And- check engine light. Don't worry about it. Yeah, no, exactly. You can just program that away. Brother, check engine lights. Can you? Doesn't even. It doesn't even. You don't even. I don't put a price on that. Don't doesn't even begin. You know how someone will be selling a car and they're like, yep, check engine lights on because it doesn't have cats or because it has special cats?

Like, can you program it out? Just give it a tune. Yeah, you just put a little piece of duct tape over the light. That's what I did on my Hummer. There you go. Technically, my Hummer doesn't have a check engine light because it doesn't have an engine. It's just got this little symbol of a car with an exclamation point in it. It's like, we're hurting.

All of us. We have problems here. I brought it to the dealer because there was. quite a few. The more I dug into it, the more fucked up it was, for sure. Yeah. Do you guys listening catch Ryan necessarily sending his Hummer? Dude, one thing I will always do for the people is abuse my daily driver. Yes, you will. Nobody's ever said that you won't. I will always hold it down and just destroy whatever I own for the boys. Shout out to you for that. But this one has been fairly inconvenient due to the, uh, breakings of everything. My back.

door is bent. I'm not going to fix that, though. The guy was calling me and he's like running me through the list. He's like, yeah, it's like 25 grand in damage. And I'm like, well, I ain't fixing that. I go, give me the sensor that's ripped off and give me the skid plate, the insulation so it doesn't start on fire, and then give me the rear bumper, which I'm going to buy on eBay, and I'm just going to self-tapper it back together. You bent the back door on that thing? Yeah, the tire went so hard like that, it like kinked in the door. And like the top of the door leaks water in the bottom now.

Dude, right it off. That's what I said. Dude, it was worth like for it, it's very, this is very embarrassing to say. That was a hundred thousand dollar car. And it's worth 40. Yeah, mine. Before the crash. Yeah. Before the crash with my two deer,

it's worth 43. God, that's a big depreciation. And I, if I could buy that car for 43, that's a sick fucking car for me. A really good vehicle. It really is a good vehicle. Holy shit, Ryan. Dude, that's electric vehicles, though.

Ken bought a Tesla for like 150 and sold it for 75. Jack, scratch that model, model three. You're going to buy Ryan's Hummer now. Yeah, dude. No, no, thank you. 20 grand. No, first of all, I'm keeping it. It's got 25 grand in damages.

It's worth 45. 20 grand, right there. There's a new car. No, I'm going to keep it. And just keep beating the crap out of it. Honestly, that might be your only hope. My only hope. Yeah.

And so I'm just going to, I'm going to keep, keep laying it on the line with the Hummer. And hopefully, through enough videos, we pay for it. I want to see. Well, I don't know how much we can do with the Hummer. Oh, brother, we can do anything with it. It's a thousand horsepower. Ryan, you do really, I hit those pipes. I hit those pipes.

I think you need to graduate to the final stage in being a Hummer owner. And that's a Humvee, military, Humvee, H1, yep, and then you put a Durhamax in it. Those might hold their value, but they're 100 grand. Yeah, but they're going to probably state. I mean, they've always been about 60 to 100 grand when I see them. That's true. So, I mean, you won't lose money, and you'll definitely look fucking cool.

Marks still have his? Yeah, but his isn't, Marks isn't a Durhamack swap. So you could get Mark's Homer, Humvee, and then Durhamack swap. I kind of need the cab. I need the cab on it so I can drive. in the winter. We could have Tony and his crew turn up the power on it, like put a bunch of shit on.

The thing will be rolling coal, probably doing burnouts. That'd actually be sick. We could take my electric Hummer drive train and put it underneath it. No. Dude. That's actually I mean, it was rip and it would be bulletproof. That's unique. It'd be sick. It's a thousand fucking horsepower.

Honestly, you're not wrong. If you're just writing it off, disappear. Yeah. I've always thought that like I mean, sure. Electric cars need a different way to measure power. Yeah, no, it's not fair. It can still equal a thousand horsepower, but we can't call it horsepower.

They need to be like nerfed. Yeah, because they can't keep saying every car is a thousand horsepower. I mean, it is. But like, it's not the same level of difficulty. That's probably how horses felt. Like, we can't keep calling this car 14 horsepower. That's true. Dude, I mean, honestly, there's no denying the electric vehicles have their performance.

but would I buy one? No. I especially would not buy one after the amount of money you two have lost. So bad. What about a hybrid now? There is no doubt. Ken's now half in the door. He can't fully step out.

He doesn't want to fully step out of the lifestyle, but yeah. Well, CJ, you know you could go on the auction site and buy a GT3RS electric Tesla Model 3. I was looking at that. What's the status on that? Is it live? Yeah, it should be, check that link because I did accept that it's like a total loss or whatever. Are we talking about it right now?

Yeah, yeah. Is it live? Is it live? Yeah. It said upcoming the last time I checked, but it's probably live now. I think we should buy it. That would be insane. We're going to buy a piece of shit.

Why would we stop now? I mean, good point. It runs and drives, eh? It's still upcoming. 152K on that. Jesus. So should we explain what happened? We should.

Sit here? Yeah, yeah. Doesn't matter. You're to sit down. All right. So Jack had his infamous Lightning McQueen Tesla. Kind of a crazy story, actually. Everyone loved it, and then he decided.

Everyone loved it. Everyone loved it, and he decided it was time for him to make even more people love it. So he turned it into a GT3RS. Got new wheels, thanks to custom offsets. Got a bunch of aerodynamics from eBay and Amazon, and installed them on his Tesla. And it actually looked really. good. It did. And it was

kind of a race car. It was, you were driving it like a race car. Clearly, he was driving it like a race car and totaling the car the next day. Into a swamp. Yeah, basically the next day. Yeah, came and did the, uh, did the reveal of the boys and then yeah, yeah, basically. Dude, I'm pretty sure that

Porsche just sent you like a C-Sycindicis air drop. Over the air. Yeah. They weren't happy about it, that's for sure. They were just like, disabled brakes. Boom. Yeah. Now who's laughing. Yeah. Yelon save me, Ken. I don't know what was going on there. The next one I buy is going to have full

self-driving on it, that's for sure. Yeah, that'll actually probably do some good. Dude, so I buzz over there to go Yeah, I haven't seen any of this. See if I can help him. I kind of blacked out. I didn't know. You just called us and you were like not far. I'm like, well, I'll just rip over there. Yeah. And, uh,

I kind of blacked out when you came by, so I don't remember what like any. Yeah, you were pretty frantic. I don't blame you. You were. I mean, this thing is. Jeez, yeah. bro. Like, so got the wing,

though. Yeah, dude, your parts stayed on it. Yeah, you're right. The insurance is going to wonder where your wings.

Yeah. Go back to the one where the pole was. And the pole's just no longer there. He sheared this pole off. So that's his hood. I found his cowboy had. It somehow launched out of his trunk.

Oh, my gosh, Jack. Yeah. So, okay, all right. So go back to that photo right there or that video.

Is that a dead tree that was already taken down? Because that's a big-ass tree. You went through that sign. Thankfully, you missed the fricking, the alive trees to the left and right. There was probably, I mean,

could have been fatal about 10 feet to the left. Oh, God, dude. Straight up. You know, the thing about those Teslas is they actually are so safe, though. What's immediately going through your head after you come to a stop? You go off?

When did you go, oh, fuck? Yeah, yeah, that's mostly what I'm wondering. Pick up there. The moment I realize that I'm cooked, I just like, I don't remember exactly what happened. I don't think I yelled or anything like that, but I just remember expecting and like knowing what's coming. Because I've kind of, I've been in a car accident before. But I don't have. Yeah, I got teaboned.

I wasn't driving, but I've, I've like, I could like picture that happening to at the same time, you know? And so I knew it was coming. And so I just like kind of feel like I braced a little bit. And then obviously had no idea where I was going, but I felt all the crashing. I went, caught some air and came to a stop. And I was pretty shaken up right away. The first thing I did was like, am I good? And immediately I knew I was fine.

Like I have one mark on my arm. From the airbag? Yeah, that's it. From the entire crash. Damn, it sent off every airbag in the car. The feet well had an airbag. Wow. Like I was totally fine.

My neck was a little sore. I was pretty shaken up. after, obviously. But, yeah, the first thought was like, after I was good, I was just like, damn, dude, like my car. Yeah. I was like, because obviously the most important thing, I just go back to I'm so thankful that I'm okay.

But after that, then I'm just like, damn. Like, I'm sad. Like, this car meant so much to me. Dude, you do, you did love that car. Luckily, your next one can be even better. Dude, you know, I will say, Jack owning a Tesla makes complete sense, though. He drives an hour every day. The amount of money he saves, having electric, not having to do oil changes, all this other stuff.

It's worth it. Oh, it's huge, bro. Especially with the current gas prices right now. Even just driving the last two weeks I've noticed, like, I've spent hundreds of dollars on. Oh, yeah. Jack was very smart by purchasing this car at the bottom of its depreciation. Exactly. Not at the top.

Take some notes there, huh, boys? Not only that, he made money on that car. Wow. Wow. Yeah. I mean, well, with all the mods, I'm sure it doesn't matter. Yeah.

And he, yeah. That's the problem. I bought it. And then the value of them has gone up. So now I'm like, when I'm trying to buy one now, it's like, damn, these are more expensive than I remember. Maybe you drove the value up. Yeah, by showing how cool. People saw them and they were like, damn, I want a Lightning McQueen or potentially a GT3RS edition model three.

Ken's been trying to do that for years, trying to make Tesla's cool. Yeah. It's pretty funny how like, obviously, shout out custom offsets for the wheels. but the rest of it is so cheap and it looks so much better than a stock Tesla in my opinion like with the blacked out chrome and the... Did you roll all the windows down or did it just do that

when you crashed? I didn't roll the windows down, no. I didn't even notice that, yeah. Wow. So the car got towed, obviously and then it went to auction, correct? Yep. Yep. And this car right now is fully bricked. When you crash it, it blows

a fuse in the high voltage battery so that's disconnected. So then it's on, but that's just a low voltage battery. That dies. So I bet if you replace that fuse, it'll still work. I mean, you got to replace, like, the front end, which is just radiators and stuff. Because it would be cool to buy it back. Drift Tesla, perhaps?

I've been trying to convince Jack to make a drift Tesla. I've been trying to convince you guys to make a drift Tesla. Or Jack, we could send it to Matt Armstrong. I think he's pretty busy with this fucking boat that he bought. I've been watching those videos. Between his Bugatti. and his yachts that he's rebuilding. You don't think he'd want to rebuild a...

He's like, oh, I actually kind of gave up on the... Tesla's, sorry, Jack, I don't want to say shitty. On the Tesla's about 10 years ago when I started doing Bugatti's and supercars. First ever Tesla GT3RS, though. Yeah, it's probably got to be the only one that there's... There's somebody who has an M3 Tesla that is trying to tell me that I copied him

in all my comment sections. Really? Yeah, it's been pissing. Hold on. I got to see this. Yeah, I got to see it. I gotta see this. I gotta see this. Yeah, I want to see the shit he's talking, and I want to see what the hell an M3 Tesla looks at.

Yeah, I'm more so curious. And so you did copy him? No, I didn't copy it. I mean, dude, you could... It's on a trial reel. It's on a trial real. You could maybe just respond and just say, buddy, it's not even the same car. Not at all.

It's a Porsche to a BMW. And also, you could just respond, congrats. We both had bad ideas. Someone commented Ben Roth, why are you copying this kid? Someone also said, Ben's, what did he say? Ben's all mad he spent $350,000 more for his GT3Rs. What's up with you putting your fucking bare feet? Yeah, I realized.

I was curled? Yeah, what is that? You clearly don't value what your worth is on Feetfinder selling them, so you're just trying to give him for free. Justin seemed pretty excited about that. Did he? Yeah, he commented. He's like, dang.

First thing. Three toes. It's this dude right here. Nice, bro. Where'd you get the idea? Oh, my God. commenting shit like this, unlike so many of my posts. Here's what it is.

Looks like. I mean, dude. So what he put a BMW badge and a front lip on it and called it. I can't even see what it is. He keeps multiplying it. This guy straight up just slapped a badge on his Tesla. The headlights go hard. I'll give him that.

The headlights, front lip, side skirts, all that stuff. And then he somehow claims it's a BMW now. Yeah. He has an M3 badge on the back, too. Yeah, he didn't even put the sticker on the side. How are you supposed to know? I mean, that is funny. Like, I'll give him that.

It was funny. But I mean, why copy just a lame BMW? Well, I guess Penn has both a BMW on a Porsche. So I was trying to... I should comment... Should I comment back at this guy? Just be like, dude, why are you lorping me? I have seen the Audi one.

The Audi one's funny. That actually kind of looks like an Audi. A-5. Even put the turbo bag. on it. Yeah, apparently in California that people are rebadging their Teslas.

Oh, is that like that? So they don't get vandalized? Yeah, I mean, the cyber truck, you can't fucking hide. If you're an idiot, you could definitely believe that's a BMW. Yeah, I really thought

about putting Porsche emblems on. Could you not find them? It was like the day of when we were talking about, oh, I should have done that and I was just like, yeah, it's too late.

The ones on Ben's car, just a sticker. Yeah, right. Just peel those off. Tough thing is I thought I was going to have another variation of it after and I didn't want to take the tee off, but here we are.

Damn, that's crazy, Jack. Well, I'm glad you all right. Most importantly. Thanks, bro. Scared the shit out of us. Just a light text on a Friday afternoon. Hey, boys, just gotten a serious accident. I'm okay, though.

A serious accident. Dude, that was a serious accident. We're like, oh, my God. Where are you at? Well, I'm not far at all. Dude, and when you said that, too, and you're like, yeah, I'm all good.

Like, you kind of downplayed it, and then you sent a picture of the car. And we were all like, oh, shit. I didn't want to overplay it, though, or overdo it. No, I think you did it. I think you, yeah, you undersold it a little bit. We were still surprised. Yeah, that was gnarly.

But just glad that you're good. Yeah. Glad that you're good and, you know, nobody else got hurt. And everything's all good. You can replace a vehicle. Yep. Best case scenario out of like a bad situation. Yeah.

So. Sorry to go back to my wedding, but I actually need to ask, probably Micah or Ryan, need a favor from you guys. I'll be the officiant, yeah. A little late on that. Ben said, apparently we need. He took it to heart when you're like, anything you need.

He's like, yeah, actually, anyway, my dad's listening. Like, so am I out of job? So one of you two need to, uh, apparently, like, at the reception, do like a welcome thing. Like, they'll tell you what to say. It's just short. But I was like, yeah, I mean, Mike or Ryan would be great at it. Like a prayer?

No, no, just like, hey, like, you know, thanks for coming guys. Like, we're going to be doing this, that, and the other. there's drinks over here. A little emceeing. Just like a light little welcome. I feel like you'd be really good at it. I would love to do it. Ryan would also be really good at it.

You know why I think that's awesome? Because I don't think that the DJ should be emceeing it. Here's why. No one knows who the DJ is. Might as well have somebody good at talking. I'm not saying that this should be me, but might as well have somebody that everybody knows

that's good at talking. Yeah, I mean, it's not going to be too much talking, but just like a whole night. Maybe like two, two, three sentences. You've seen it. Like some DJs will like, they'll really get carried away and they're like trying to kind of like hurt. Like it's a concert that it came to for them. Exactly.

I don't know if he's got some of this. Yeah. Is that the formal invite? Yeah. I was just, I was supposed to do this a while ago. Yeah, I'd love to do it. There you go. All right. Mike's in.

And if Mike gets like strep throat or has a voice issue, I'll step in. I had you guys set at a tie. I knew Ken probably didn't want to do it. So that was a script I could do it. Is it wheelchair accessible? That's what I was just going to say now with that calf injury. Never heard of the pulled calf. It's just gonna, it's gonna be really bad for me

if I did accidentally hit Ken with a hammer. To be fair, he does butt kickers when he runs. So that you were, you were running up, your leg was way too high. Yeah, you do do butt kickers. Why do you do that kid? It seems like more work. I don't know.

It's like, keep your feet lower. Why are you watching my feet when I'm running? To be fair, it's like you're very tall guy. I should do. It's hard not to. It's hard not to. Bro, there's been something so classic about Dalton driving around in that old Ford. It really has.

I love it. Especially this today when he pulled up and it wouldn't start. The battery has to be on its last leg. Also, he's been pulling up just listening to the most classic, like, old school country. And he'll take his radio and put it out on the job site. And I'm like, this is such a vibe. The Longbox F-150 from the 80s or whatever that. Every time I see him, he's listening to, like, some, like, women's country.

Yeah, he's always listening to the sad. He'll put on the, like, if you're playing shop radio music, yeah. I love that. No, no, like women. I love that. Yeah. Like, depressed women's country. Like, my husband went to town.

Like, or like, like, old school Taylor Swift, like, about, like, breakups. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's always the saddest country music. And I'm like, brother, I have no beef with country. I know Evan isn't the biggest fan of country. That's fine. when you're playing shop music, you've got to appeal to the whole crowd.

But playing just the saddest Wayland Jennings you've ever heard of while working on a dirt bike is such a bold choice. It's like, holy shit, somebody needs to check in on this guy. Yeah, yeah, it's like, oh, let's clean the shop. Yep, yeah, let me throw on some tunes. Here's fucking heartaches and heartburn by fucking Tom Sawyer. Tom Sawyer, isn't they? I think he's actually a musician. I didn't want to make fun of Taurus.

That's like an old book. No, isn't Tom Sawyer? Yeah, the book. Like a, he's a fictional character, isn't he? Really? I don't know in what story, but it's... There's a song called Tom Sawyer by Led Zeppelin. Ah, there we go.

That's not Tom Sawyer. That's not Led Zeppelin. That's not Led Zeppelin. That's a... I'm pretty sure it's Led Zeppelin. No, I don't... No, it's not. It's...

Well, you guys figured this out. I was driving the work truck. because Gavin I went to the lumber yard last night, loaded up, finished up about 9 o'clock. Rush. Rush. Rush. Classic. Sorry, carry on. And so I drove the work truck home, had all the lumber loaded up, and I woke up early this morning.

It was up at like 5 a.m. Dude. I was ready to go. Well, you're a construction worker. I was ready to go. It was weird. I woke up at 5 a. I know you texted. What the budge is happening. Yeah, you're ready to go, dude.

Yeah, I was excited. And I turned on the classic rock radio station, which I love. My entire 35 minute drive to work, not one fucking song. It was all the bullshit radio morning stuff. All right. That's how our podcast listeners feel when they hear you start piping up. First of all, they came and you came here for voice. You didn't come here for singing.

This isn't a radio station. Here we go again. Here's a pointless story. I'll never get back. As soon as you're talking about What? No, I'm talking about when you start Piping off about your ads.

Oh. Yeah, like we don't even want to do the ads. I don't know, just me speaking in general. I thought you just meant me talking. And you're just like, oh, great, here we fucking go again. Ryan's talking. No, no.

I wish it was like the first podcast when he didn't talk. Maybe we can turn it down. I forgot about that. You guys should start having like little peeps. So I can just listen for the beep and turn it down. And Ryan's talking. The classic rock radio station did get me with a fake ad. They did like a weird thing where they were like, who said this?

And then they'd give you three people. And they gave like two different things. And then the third one was it was an erectile dysfunction ad. And they were like, that was actually Megan Fox for this erectile dysfunction medicine. And I was like, wait, what the fuck? Am I in an ad right now? I don't know if I exactly even followed. what you just said. Sorry. It's okay. You don't have to go back. You know how they do those little bits?

Maybe I shouldn't tell back people get bored. You know how when you're watching a YouTube video and they go to an ad break and there's like a red bar at the bottom of the ad break. You can just skip through and you just look at the red bar. People are clicking it. We have that pop up every time Ryan's talking. A lot of actually a lot of agencies and ad places don't like doing that. I used to do it back a day on the time. People clip the podcast and go, the Life But Open podcast without Ryan. You know how sometimes it says jump ahead? Like, I'll be listening to a podcast and on YouTube. It just does it sometimes. It says jump ahead.

But I always listen to Kill Tony, right? They have a regular comedian on there, Dedrick Flynn. And so many people are fired up about how not well he does. And now there's a jump ahead when he comes on on their podcast. The reason why is because people are skisking it. I know. YouTube. They're just like, oh, this must be an ad.

That would actually be crazy. Wow. That would suck. That's very disheartening. I think I'm going to just probably stop ruining this. Yeah. There was an actual jump ahead bar on one of them. And it's like, that's funny.

That's just that many people were skipping it. Yeah, that's tough. That's pretty disheartening for comedian. But he still goes out there and tries every week. That's all you can do. Are you leaving comments, Mike? No. Actually, I only leave comments if it's a really good episode.

That's good. Good comedian. I don't know why, but I somehow got on Mike's algorithm. I must have been like on the Seaboys account or something. I gave it to you. And so I was scrolling Instagram one night and I just started seeing every single real I came across, Micah Sandman commented. And I'm like, oh, that's what you mean by his algorithm.

Yeah, yeah. So I was like just getting served videos that Mike had commented on. And I had to have seen 15. Yeah. And I'm not like a big comment. Commenter, especially on people I don't know. Like maybe if it's like one of my boys, I'll comment. But yeah, and just random people, I don't comment.

Thinking back to my track record here recently, would you say most of them were positive or? Yeah, I mean, yeah. You've been much more positive lately. Yeah. Mike's always been positive. Yeah, I was like, I don't actually fire out. Other than when you hate it on baby grunk. Yeah.

It was that like one or two times I had one rose hate on baby grunk. But most of them have been positive. Like I came across this kid who's really good. Like, he's on the spectrum. He's really good at DJ scratching. So I was like giving him DJ suggestions. And then people will be like, Money, Mike, what are you doing here?

What do you mean you were giving him? I was giving him. Mike got one gig being a DJ at CJ's wedding. And now he's already commenting DJ's suggestions. Although I could. What do you mean you were commenting? Three sentences now, Mike. We don't need you getting carried away with this.

commenting suggestions. He plugs in. Okay, perfect. I have like a nice playlist and a chill mix I'm going to be playing. Some nice dinner music. Dude, I remember the DJ for my wedding. I just hate when you, for anything, when they're building your house, they're DJing your wedding, they're doing whatever. When you ask them to do something, they should just do it.

Or if they really don't want to, they should have a good reason as not to. But I was like, hey, at the end of the night, you should. run big booty mix whatever it was 23 15 i can't remember which one i picked one my favorite one you should run that big booty mix he goes i can just do that i can mesh the songs and i can do that i go i'm sure you could but i just want to listen to big booty mix to round out the night i just love how it's paced and he's like yeah can't do that yeah and then i asked him to at the end of the night i said all hot spot whatever you need you can connect to the Wi-Fi exactly like it was insulting i can just mesh the songs together. I'm like, yeah, you did, you did good throughout the night. I asked him at the end of

the night. A big booty mix is great. Yeah, it's really good. And I'm like, can you put it on? And he's like, I'll see if I can get it to work. And then just basically X out of the tab. Do DJs you not like you telling them what to do, where to spin? And but it's different. It's different if you're just at the bar like, can you play Tiger? You know, that's, and you're just like, no, I don't take suggestions right now. But if you're like the one who hired them. Yeah, you paid for. him to be there. You're the whole reason why. He has a job that if I want. Yeah. It's crazy how many DJs

there are nowadays. Anybody with a computer can be a DJ. Yeah. A computer and an iTunes account. You just got to build to blend them together. Maybe a Spotify premium. Yeah. I think that's the case with most creatives, though. Doesn't really matter what their creative form is.

Like, if you're an artist, you don't really like people trying to tell you how to make your art. That's true. Like, it doesn't matter what it is, whether it's music, video, book writing, building a house, making food, whatever your art form is, and then you have somebody coming in. But that also is probably the biggest thing of like, for us, we work with so many artists from the editors that we hire to our filmers, to our graphic designers, and the people that are usually the most talented are the ones that can take criticism.

And adapt. and adapt. Yeah, 100%. That's like the people that we've surrounded ourselves with and our team because we're just doing it at such a high volume

and we're pushing so much through the system and our editors are doing so much. Our designers are designing so much and they just take the criticism. They learn from it and they don't, it doesn't hit their ego like a lot of these guys.

And we've had them like in the past, I guess. So even if they don't start the best, they hone into whatever you are looking for and then you're like, these guys are the best. Yeah, and then we don't have to, like, we're not really making, like, critiques as much because they've kind of just, like, grown into our style.

And we've, you know, adapted a little bit, and they've adapted, and we just work together. Well, but... It's a good point. But, yeah, I would say as far as just artists across the board, they don't like being told how to do their art. What's your art, Evan? Cheeseburgers.

Oof. You're more of a... You're more of a demolisher, rather than a builder, though. Yeah. I don't know how, I'm not too artistic, I don't think.

Are you artless, Ryan? I think I'm artless. How about you, Ken? Horselin painter? From about 945 to 1015. Of course.

AM, AM to 1015 PM? No, no, 10.15 a.m. How much time do you think you spent on a toilet today, Ken?

Total, maybe 20 minutes. Bullshit. Bullshit. I have to wait more than 20 minutes just so I can hop in the shower. And you always take the biggest sigh. Sorry to expose you like that. I hear the lid slam.

Sometimes you just sit there and you're like, you get kind of locked in on something on your phone. So that adds to your total time. Yeah, but like actual like doing stuff in the bathroom. Actual artistry. But like then you just sit on your phone for another five, 10 minutes. Marinated in it.

Yeah. I pulled one of those this weekend. we were killing some time on Sunday we were at the mall Alex is waiting to get her dress done being altered and I'm walking around in this mall

trying to watch football game and you know as you go to a mall so like people keep coming up to me left and right so then I'm like sitting in the chair watching people keep coming up and I'm just like you can tell people are kind of like like and you're just sitting there huddled over a phone

by myself just add some random mall they're like what are you doing here and I'm like oh just this that yeah so then I anyways I've been killing some time. We've been there for three, four hours. Eventually, I get, I have to go use the bathroom. So I'm sitting on the toilet.

Dude, I sat on that motherfucker for at least 40 minutes. I was like, this is pretty nice. I'm watching the football game. Nobody's bothering me. Pants down. I feel kind of bad, but I'll do that same thing at the airport. Sometimes it's just nice to get away from everyone. And I'll feel bad.

Like, all the stalls are full and they'll come in and you can tell there's people waiting, but I'm like, first come, first serve. I'm not finished yet. Imagine walking in this. there and just hearing the Vikings game at full volume. I don't think there's any shame in that. You're going to win the Super Bowl though, right? Dude, Ryan, as long as the kicker keeps making them. I love what you post. For the last

like three years, I don't know, the Vikings have won consecutively their first. We had, we had an, like, we went undefeated for a while. So I was able to post that a couple different times like two years ago. Right. Yeah, it was like, Vikings just signed Odell Beckham Jr. Nice. That's actually great. Fuck, yeah. I love that.

So does that mean JJ's dead? No. Like why? We're hired another, we're hired another wide receiver. Well, we can have, maybe like the wide receiver three. Also right now, Justin's hurt. Just even having Odell out there takes pressure off the other wide receivers. So like Jordan Addison, because then they, now they got to worry about him.

So they have to make sure someone's covering him. We can let our excellent quarterback go to work. Yeah. Ryan, I feel like you actually deep down don't like the Vikings. What? Are you seeing? Yeah. Ryan, when I see you post in those.

Oh, my God. Like, he's just sarcasticly. Have there been anything to cheer about lately? That's what I'm saying. Like, you always don't, you always just talk about, like, the bad side of it. Will the thrill, brother? He is the only one posting about them winning.

Yeah, but I think it's sarcastic. Ryan, you're larping the vik. I don't know. I just, I don't know. Maybe I'm just realistic. Do you, yeah, see, like the way he talks about him. The way he talks about it. you're going to be a Vikings fan,

you need to be delusional, okay? One of the first requirements. Wait, so I have been meeting the ass since, no, I know he likes the Vikings. I don't watch a ton of football.

I watch the Vikings about it. Are they like staging plays? I saw something I couldn't explain. What do you mean? I don't know, this dude's like running, he's running, he's like totally gonna make

to the end zone. And then he just like. Hawkinson, yeah. Yeah. He just like, no, he just didn't, he wanted to let the time run out.

Yeah. It's a strategy. Give him the ball back. Give him the ball back. Yeah, because then you can just kill it. You can... Got it. Well, then...

Time management. They're just filling, like, fake news. Because then on Instagram, since I didn't watch the actual game, they're like, what is this? Why on earth, would you do this? And I was like, yeah. Yeah, because he didn't cover the spread. So it was a big, big...

Yeah, dude, that would... That does... There's so many variables. I know. I don't... With all the... There's always been betting on NFL in every other sport, but now it is bigger than ever. Yeah.

I don't bet on the Vikings. Because then, like, I would have been bummed if they... didn't cover the spread. I quit doing that as well. And then if you lose your double pissed, if you, if you for some reason, bet against them, yeah,

me and Cs are never doing that again. Yeah. Yeah, that mistake last year. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was,

that was, you got to just watch to enjoy it. Exactly for the love of the game. And then try, try fucking just winning something. I normally, I used to, but it's hard.

I used to just bet against the Browns, but the Browns are kind of decent this year. Of course, 10's favorite team is the Browns. Well, it used to just bet, Whoever's playing the Browns, it was a lock. Just bet on that team.

You can't make this shit up. Ken being a Browns fan. Ken takes the Browns to the Super Bowl every morning. Well, it's like they're actually kind of worth betting on now, though. The Browns go to the Super Bowl, and Ken's like, he fires that text in the group chat. You guys trying to hit Brown Super Bowl. Ken is not missing that. You guys see that Steve will do it last.

like a million bucks betting on the lines this weekend? He's been losing a bunch of money. That guy... Stressing me out. Dude, I've been... I'd be rooting for whatever team he has his money on just because I'm getting so stressed. Yeah, for him. Just being a follower of his seeing how much money he has on the line.

Right now, it seems like you have more likelihood of winning, just doing the opposite of his bet. Yeah, it does seem to be that way. The anti- Steve bet. It's like brutal Mars on and like $50 million to the casino. I mean, I have heard that. I didn't hear about that.

Yeah, dude, that is the thing. I was actually at, when we were in Vegas, I was talking with one of the hosts or whatever. Yeah, we were sitting there at a table. Apparently, Brunnel Mars is like in debt to Aria. MGM. It's MGM. It's MGM.

Because he likes to gamble and took out a loan and lost that much money. 50 millies. Like, yeah, it's like a shit ton of money. So what, he just. Is it? like having a speeding ticket in a state, you just can't go back there? No, no, no.

No, no. He has a residency there. He has to work it off. So I think he's doing a residency to pay it off. Oh my gosh. But if you got to be dumb, you got to be good at same. I'm sure he was sitting there thinking.

He's like, dude, I got so much money. I'm going to hit eventually. Let's just keep doubling it. Just double it. And then next thing you know, he's 50 mil. I wonder what the biggest hand in.

Dude, that is true. That is true. That's what they say. That is true. Right there to the diamonds. Fuck. Yeah, it is true. Damn.

so now he's just working for free. Yeah. He's probably got it. Yeah, I don't know. Enjoy it a little. Dude, oddly enough, though, people say, like, going to a Bruno Mars concert is, like, the greatest show you can go to.

Really? He's working hard, dude. Do you think he's trying to fucking... You know, people are saying that. No, I actually think... He can't afford it for it to not be good. Yeah. Yeah.

He's like, I got to keep this shit. Top tier. Supposedly he is. Who said it's a good concert? I think, like, dead-ass think Dana White said that. somewhere. A pretty reputable source for me to hear that.

He owns 50 million bucks. He's trying to get his investment back. Did you see that Dana White did a million dollar Bachrod hand? I did. He won it? He won it? Yeah, in the same room that we were in. Yeah. At the MGM. Yeah, Steve was like, who's in the bathroom? But they said you can't do another one. They said won. One and done. If you win, congrats. If you lose, too bad.

Wow. And you won. So anyway, next time we're there, we should hit a Bruno Mars concert, huh? I'm down. Got a supported guy. I think it's a bar at Belagio that he's for sure at, and then somewhere else, too. And they got him doing bar performances. That's like Elvis. That's what I was thinking.

It's like Elvis, but wasn't it Elvis's manager or was it Elvis? Elvis was like in some terrible contract where like he basically was locked in having to play in Las Vegas. Well, it's because Elvis's manager owed the casino a bunch of money. Yeah, so he was kind of screwed. rude and then he could have been much bigger because he could have gone like touring over in like Europe and like all these other places. Did Elvis like not, he never played in Europe? I don't think he did actually.

I think that was like a big part of it. In Las Vegas and then he hooked on a lot of drugs and drinking and there's a great movie. There's a great movie on Elvis. There's a couple of them. I like the one where it's like more of a there's actors and stuff. But yeah, great. The one with Tom Hanks? No, it's like the one that.

was probably three years ago. The one that starts at the circus? Biopic. I don't fucking know. Yeah, it's a biopic with Tom Hinks. Yeah. Oh, maybe it is Tom Hanks. Sorry, right?

Yeah, yeah. That's not the one I was thinking of, was it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a manager. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. It's just called Elvis.

It came out in 2022. Yeah, really good. Well, Ben, are you ready for my, to give a speech? I've been working on it. Have you actually? Of course. Is it stressful? I've been working on it for, like, a couple months at this point.

Really? I've just been, like, keeping. That's what I did on yours. I had like a bunch of little things that I thought like funny stories I'd think of or like little points I'd touch on. And then I just sat down one day and I think I wrote yours in like two hours. Yeah. That's it's I actually wrote it last night, but I've been keeping a notes page stocking it up. My issue right now is I have so much.

What's great things to say about me? I have so many stories and so much to say. I don't know like how long I want to make it go. and I don't know how many, like, stories I want to tell, and I don't know. What needs be cut? Well, how savage you want to be? I have some savage. Yeah, well, of course I have a lot.

Oh, yeah, I'm not, I don't even have to ask. Of course I'm going savage. Somewhat, I, you know, I don't want to, uh, obviously cook you in front and everyone just goes silent. I'm like, that's the battle I was having. Yeah, you know, like, there is actually a fine line to it because, you know, half the people there you got to assume are like Alex's side. The nice thing is.

They don't necessarily know. Oh, they're gonna fucking, you could, you could say anything. Like, they're all pretty chill. That's a good point, actually. They're all, thinking about that. They're actually a lot like our family. Thinking about that. So it is really nice and, like, you don't have to really worry about it.

You could swear, you could. Okay, well, that's good. Yeah, and I actually, like, I have so many stories with you, and I also have so many stories with Alex, too. Like, I can, yeah, that's fun. I can, like, tie them in and, yeah, not just make it, just, like, one-sided. So it's coming together, but I want it to be good.

Yours was amazing. Obviously, I got big shoes to fill there. And so, yeah, I've been working on it. So I wouldn't say stressed, but I'd say I feel the pressure. Yeah. Dude, I know exactly what you feel because when I was doing yours, it was like, it can't be just good, is how I felt. People are going to be expecting this to be funny, but also well-written.

Yeah. So that was where it became tough. So, yeah, not to make you feel more pressure. But it'll be good no matter what. And it is tough because you'll have to memorize it because you can't read. And that is the hard part. One, I'm obviously a horrible reader. But two, Alex's maid of honor, her sister came up to me and was like, are you memorizing yours?

Because I am. And I was like, fuck. A bad idea. I wasn't planning on it. Don't do it. Yeah, I don't, I'm not going to. But, uh, yeah. So am I going first or is she going or?

I would go last. Okay. That's what I would do. That's kind of what I tried to do with yours, just because then it's like, you just end with bang. Yeah. I don't really care where I go on the lineup, but I don't think I'm going to rip it off the dome piece. Because I have so many, like, little setup details that make the biggest difference at the end. If I hit these little details, then the end works because I can tie it back in.

But if you miss, like, those little details, it doesn't have the same effect at the end, you know? So it's like... Like the cadence and how you say it too. So that way you like set up for like the, you know, the pause, let the people laugh or, you know,

let them cry. Also like looking up like fucking. Yeah. Everyone. No, it really is. I'd say like the cadence of it's probably the most important part. Because you can like rush through it.

And if you don't give the audience time to like comprehend it, process it, laugh, cry, whatever the emotion is, then you just don't, you don't get that same. It's like the WWE, dude.

You got to feel the crowd. like, okay, they're still laughing right now. I don't want to start saying my next thing because they'll miss part of this then. Yep. And so when does Ken come in and I body slam him through the center of the table? That would be insane. Like, we need to make this a full performance.

I feel like with his calf right now, I don't know if that's a great idea. I might be on IR for the weekend. Dude, Ken, how about when you, when you were kind of getting cooked in my brother's speech? I wasn't getting cooked. I was just getting fully roasted for a little bit. In my brother's speech at my wedding,

he mentioned, He brought up the Ken saying, Requitt. And his better help ads. And Ken just sitting over there, sunglasses on pissed. How am I getting roasted for this? Everyone was like 15% Ken.

And yeah, it was like, it was like a hit at you and everyone's like, geez, okay, yeah. And then another hit and then another hit. And then eventually I just look at Ken and he just fully leaned back like this.

He got sunglasses on inside. Well, dude, when I heard when I heard that Ken left early, I go, holy shit, he was that mad about the speech. That's what I thought, too. I think somebody even told me that. I think maybe Ryan told me that. Yeah, Ken was actually fired up about the speech.

Ryan did kind of cool you down, though, during it, didn't he? No, Ryan was nowhere near me. I thought Ryan was telling you like, all right, Ken, just chill. Everyone's looking at you right now. Did you feel everyone looking at you? No, I did. Do you want me to clear things up? I'm assuming you told Sam to say those things?

No, I didn't tell Sam. Why would I? Hey, Sam. Make sure my best man speech that's about me and my new wife, make sure to include Ken, please. No, Ken, my wedding did not revolve around messing with you. If you want, though, I could tie you in. Absolutely not.

Keep me out of this. This is all about CJ. We don't need to be making a deal for me. This is CJ's day. Imagine halfway through my speech, we have Ken stand up and get just RKOed into the center table. Sorry, we thought we need to spice things up Oh, Dan, are you okay? No.

There's got to be like a designated table somewhere, though. Put Evan through it. Yeah, I can't believe we haven't table smashed. Could I always bring one? Like, we'd like six of them. I haven't smashed the table since I've smashed Rich's table and he was pretty pissed. So lots of better setup than that. What about this?

What if Evan stands up like mid-speech and starts dingin? Like, I'm like, I'm doing my speech and Evan stands up starts dinging and everyone's like, oh boy, here we go. And he stands up on his chair and then he just goes through the table. I honestly absolutely love this idea. That'd be insane. Are they solid wood tables probably though?

No, we could set up. We set up more solid than wood. I would agree. That's just saying you're having to really get after it. We set up like a dummy table that looks like the normal table. Hey, what are you trying to say about me, Ken? Yeah, and he'll just sit there all that. We'll put Evan and Gavin and, you know, a few of our other buddies at the dummy table.

It's like the kids table at Thanksgiving. We're waiting. But no, like, downstairs. One that's meant to be, like, gone through. I was chuckling to myself when we were making the seating chart. How funny would it have been if, like, I just put, like, one of my friends just at, like, their own table in the corner. You're just, like, sitting there. It would have been smart.

Like, it's almost like a, like, a table you'd sit in, like, a school classroom. That's so funny. Imagine I did it to Rich. Like a desk. Just sitting over there. Yeah, like one of your buddies comes and they just are like, oh, wow, who else is at table 25? Just one name. Just one name.

Just be like, damn. I got a game for you, fellas, if you want to play that. Game, game, game, game, game, game, game. You're actually going to like this game, Evan. It's called pop or beer. Ooh. Pop or beer? Pop or beer.

You don't have to drink it. Well, the key, you can. Let me set these up here. Well, aren't you going to tell pretty easily once you drink it? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, of course. So it's obviously anybody can tell if it's a soda or a beer based on the taste. Right.

This is based on the sound of it cracking. So you have to plug his nose. No, no, no, just fucking hold the can right here and open it. And you'll go here go. And you'll be like, is that a beer or is it a pop? Is this a trend? Yeah, it's a trend. We're trying to be a clip-friendly podcast.

All right. Let's crack these things. That one's a bubbler. C.J. Close your eyes. Put a blindfold on them. Just crack it and see if it pop. CJ, if you ruin this game, we'll have to play the heads-up game again where we

guess what numbers on your forehead. Oh, you didn't like that. Or we put, uh, we talked to the can opening. We put other things on there. I'm sorry. Mike, we're trying to get clipped. I just can't shut my damn mouth. Honestly, I think it's, uh, I think it's a beer.

It seemed like what beer's coming? really, it felt really carbonated. Could be an ultra. Yeah, like an ultra. Ooh. Yeah, the skinny ultra. I think it's a skinny ultra. Like Ken feel it.

Dude, not look, Ken. No, it's a bubbler. I can see the residue on the top. God damn it. Ken, you have totally said. Anyway, Ken, you're still wrong. It's a good boy. Ooh.

What this is did get a little complex. We threw it together today, so they're not all. We do, we do have some mixes of. Got lucky on that one. I was going to take that good boy out last night. Surprise you didn't. you settle with that. Just crack it.

Just crack it. Just crack it. Hold on. Right up by the mic and crack it. Ready? Oh, ho, ho. I know that sound. Hey, have?

For sure, beer. For sure, beer. It sounded like a crispy dew to me, but I don't know. What number is it? Three. It's looking like a course. Keystone. Yeah, I was going to say that felt like a beer.

Don't they all sound the same? No, no. Now, so we'll pick another can and we'll hear the difference. How much does it matter on how you open it? Hold on. Hold on. Put this over Ken. If you got headphones, you should chuck them on.

He's going to smell it. He's going to... Don't look. You can't! It sounds... It sounds like a pop. It sounds like a soda. He looked down at it. It also is brown, like a soda. You can kind of hear, like, the after

bubbles after you open it. It's kind of fun holding the mic for kind of feel like I'm interviewing him. I think it's pop. It's a mound do. No shit, it's a mound do. You looked in a green. You actually can't help yourself, can you? Yeah, if you try this.

All right, I'm going to close my eyes so I can't see what's coming out. Yep, right in the mic there. Very carbonated. That just might be a mountain dew. Sprite. That's bright. That's crispy.

See, it's got more of a psal. Yeah, there was a lot of... Well, then there's the after bubbles after you do the initial thing. The afterburn. A lot of it's in the style. you opening it. That's liquor, I think. Ken used to do a lot of that.

Ken's mom at Thanksgiving when he was 18. That's liquor, I think, in that cup. I guess I agree, but I don't know why. Twisted tea. Twisted tea. Like, that's a game. He falls off the wagon.

It didn't have an explosion. That one did sound a little bit flatter. Yeah. I should have known. Not as much. Yeah. Okay, let's hit this last one. I think this one could be difficult. I didn't hear any after fizz. This one's confusing. It's going to throw everyone for a loop, I think.

Or maybe it's not. Is it calling? THC. No. It's a Celsius. Open it up. It's one of the non-fizzy Celsius. Oh, I was like, it sounds like a non-fizzy.

Well, Celsius. Yeah, I don't know. I just feel like you can tell the sound of a crispy beer when it is just the best. What are you guys? What's your guys's favorite pop? Mountain Dews, baby. Dr. Pepper.

I think it's a Mountain Dew, but. There's a certain time where nothing hits better than a crispy Dr. Pepper. And if I'm barbecue and a hot dog or two, it's got to be a Pepsi. Good old Diet Coke. A little fridge cigarette. A rupeer. Same. Same, dude.

A crisp, ice cold, rip beer is tough to beat. I like barks. I like barks or A and W. You guys ever, the frost stop, as a kid frostop. I didn't think he got any better than that. Hank's also good, too. That's kind of a classic out of the glass. Honestly, a Coke.

Good old-fashioned Coke is good, too. like when uh coax laps like jen she likes to get these those mexican coax so they're in the glass bottles and i mean she stalks them into our our fridge and i mean we'll all drink one of those at lunch very surprising pop's coming back bro ultra healthy and then she loads us up with well the mexican sugar different because it's not aspartane yeah that is better for you dude you want to know something really weird and it's probably not correlated but uh i started drinking like a sprite at like 8 o'clock. Sounds like something you should not do. And you probably shouldn't. And I have a Woop Band. I've wore this Woot Band for, I could tell you right now. Like, it's an impressive

amount of days. I have years. Yeah, it's over years, but it tells me how many days straight. So it says 915. Holy shit. I've worked for 915 days. I haven't missed it. Isn't that insane? That is crazy. You haven't let it go dead? Woop should, uh, yeah, you just have the charge on right now. But it's still like even like days. If it dies, like you just can't have it be dead and miss your sleep. Oh, okay. But yeah. So not even brand deal or anything, but I've just worn it because I work out, and I'm just trying to optimize my health

and doing this for years. Decide just started saying, fuck it, right? Was drinking a sprite because it was just in the fridge? Jesus. Yeah, drank a sprite before bed. Should not do that. Should not do that, right?

And I noticed the next day, my resting heart rate was down, and my HRV, which most people probably don't know what it is, but you want it higher, was higher. And I go, that's a weird coincidence. I started doing it again. It improves my sleep. I don't think.

I think it would be like this for everyone else, but for me, for some reason, if I drink a Sprite, like at night, dude, it makes no sense. Can we get to the bottom of this? Like, what would any correlation be? I've tried looking it up. I tried looking it up on like chat GPT. I tried all this stuff, like trying to figure out, like, why would that be? And it could be just something like, I need the carbohydrates. Just a little bit of happiness. Just puts you right to bed. Also, it could be just like autonomic nervous system issues. So it like levels me out in some way. Interesting. Sprite. It probably would not be the case for anyone else, but isn't that weird? Have you started playing with it? Maybe if it's... No, I just have a Sprite stock. Like, we have Sprite stocked in the fridge now.

I can't sleep with all my Sprite. No, I still can. You should... I slept like shit last night. You should have a Sprite. Like, replace that Sprite with everything. Like, one beer. I've tried it.

Yeah, I used to drink a beer all the time at night. Even if I drink one beer at dinner, it, like, tanks. It tanks my house. Yeah, but I was just say, definitely not like a bunch of beers, but just switch out, like, like the one 12-ounce beverage with other things and see if yeah I should just yeah start mixing a little nightcap in a month and obviously

no caffeine red wine yeah god I love wine now that's what the people are saying in the old days a little cabaret is good for you little cabernet little shard bomb anything alcohol just immediately gets you fired up and you have to drink and I'm like the whole bottle I'm like I'm not even going to go to bed

I'm just going to go to Zorba's with the boys CJ you're supposed to I was supposed to go to bed. I had a, try to having a nightcap. And yeah, now I'm off the rails. So now I got everyone coming over and we're playing pool. Actually, a couple Saturdays ago, we had the day off from Filman and Siege texted in the morning. I was, I was texting the morning and when he was like, boys, let's get into something. Yeah. You were nowhere to be found. Dude, well, I feel like I don't hang out with Ben ever. I know. It's like,

he's like, he's kind of like Ken. Ever since he, uh, went here. Ever since he went to friends. He's been different. It's the ends. It's the ends. They're just all friends. Even before that. No, I just, uh, I feel like we don't have many chill weekends. And I was like actually just doing stuff in my house that I haven't caught up on in six months. Yeah. Like we have like one weekend free, like in a, you know, a full weekend free every, I'd say six weeks.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Greta was also working due.

And so like, you know, if she's around sometimes, you know, know, I'll be like, oh, you know, just hang with Greta. And obviously, you guys do the same thing. It's pretty easy to understand. She wasn't even around. But I was just like, I got to lock in and do this stuff that I've been putting off for, like, four months. Yeah, a lot of times it's easier just to do it yourself too, because you try hiring someone. It's like you can't get them there.

I don't know, unless you get some good guys, which I've found some over the years. But, yeah, anyways, we had a great time. You were just like organizing. Me, Ryan, Tint. Making boxes down in my garage. And then Ken pulled up. I don't even know if. Ken knew we were at Zorba's, but you just, you came to hang with us?

Yeah. Oh, thank you. Yeah, you were texting that. I just had to get some stuff done over the house before. So then he came, he was hanging with us. And then we ran into the firework guys, invited them over. Good kids. Oh, yeah, it was great, bro.

Yeah, it was sick. Then we watched UFC. Supercross, watch Supercross, the finale, which is sick. And, yeah, dude, it was just, it was just fun. CJ's my favorite guy to drink with. I've said it before. CJ's my favorite person to drink with. If we're sending, we're sending.

Yeah. because that's CJ is either like I'm off or I'm on and when he's on it's awesome not that's awesome when you're off that's a great compliment but like when you're on you're awesome you're awesome I kind of feel that way with with Ben though like we've went on a couple yeah like if you're sending Ben's the same way

like you're either not if we get on it we get on it and if we're drinking then it's like it's gonna be probably two three in the morning like we're sending and we're rolling it and we're like we're so on it we're like we're like we got to drive us around. We're like, I can't believe we're the only ones out right now. You don't even know. Like, we might

end up just driving two hours away and going to something like a casino or something. Yes, and Spenny, Spenny has said that too. Like, when we're on a mission. You know, it's funny? Spenny's the worst. Spenny would be like, dude, want to get into one tonight? On Friday, I'm like, fuck yeah, bud.

Like, I actually can. Let's do it. We like, go out, go to Sorba's. I get a driver lined up for us. like everything's all good and you go eh i think i'm just gonna just gonna go back home play a little fortnight i'm like what do you mean you're like out at the dinner and then he's only drinking water and you're like hey so uh when are we doing what are we doing this

when are you planning on that thing that you were saying yeah and that's fine i'm totally fine hanging out if you don't because he's a lot of fun either way but it'll be like all day be like do you do let's get on one tonight do it let's get crazy. Yeah, so you're like, oh, fuck. I'm like, let's go. I'm getting all hyped up. Yeah, you're like, well, tomorrow's going to be cooked, but that's okay. I'm accepting it. Watch this. I'm going to call him and I'll be like,

yo, Spin, you want to get on one tonight? It's Wednesday night. He's going to be like, yeah, dude, let's do it. Should we? Should we? He'll go, should we? Dude, fuck it. I'm actually down. Should we? Okay, hold now. I'm going to call him. What's up, kid? Working. They're working. We just, we just finished the pot. Are you

coming to lunch? Yeah, we'll rip over. Sounds good. Dude, you want to get on one tonight? I'm kind of feeling like it. Getting on one? Yeah, you want to get on one tonight? Have a couple beers? Go to shore them.

Probably not. I'm pretty sick. Fuck. I'm probably just going to go to bed as soon as we're done, honestly. I was struggling to get up. God damn it. I just was talking about you're a capper when you want to party. I forgot you're sick.

You know who will? You know who will? Evan? Peyton? Call Peyton, call Peyton I'll call Peyton Dude, actually Call him

I don't think Payton's gonna answer to you guys anymore See ya Now that you switch teams Yeah you guys were trying to kidnap him True Dude Peyton did ask where the beers were Brother, we fed him breakfast Hey somebody called

Somebody called Peyton I didn't know we were shooting a Shred 80 video You call him Ken you call him He won't believe it But maybe if CJ calls him And it's just like Yo we should get on one tonight

Or even like this afternoon. Say let's get on on this afternoon. Yeah, since you're on his team. No, that could be kind of funny. Peyton, we should get on one this afternoon. Okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Should we get on one, Peyton? I'm not. Oh, yeah. Today, Peyton said, he goes, that's my favorite word. And somebody's like, not me this time. It's actually two words. And I'm like, no, but for Peyton, it's just one. Oh, yeah.

Dude, I love Peyton. Dude, he's so awesome. He's, like, such a nice addition to the team. And he's just, yesterday, Peyton and I were, like, moving a bunch of shit around. And it was just him and I just riding around in my truck, just door squeaking, no radio, like, barely even talking to each other. But we were both just, like, vibing, just chilling.

But you know what you could say, CJ, you could look over and be like, this sucks, doesn't it? And he would say, yeah, it does. Yeah. He did say, he did say, so that door doesn't stop? I was going to say, this holy crap, this sucks. It's all in perception, though, like everyone's a legend in some way, shape, or form, you know? It's a good point.

Like, no matter who it is, like, if you just get to know, I guess we hang around a lot of awesome people, but, like, everyone's different in their own way, but, uh... And I feel like... Bond with almost anyone. A lot of people, friend groups, like, outgoing people can do this, but I feel like we pull the legendary out of people. Yeah. Like, we pull... I'd agree with that. Whatever makes them awesome.

Yeah, and we hate the shit out of it. Exactly. It's maybe to a fault sometimes. Yeah. But I think that's probably our superpower, honestly, of, like, just bringing the legend out of people. Yeah. But what does this winter look like for Peyton, not have any lawn to mow?

You can't have him without work? No, oh, no, no, no, he's not getting laid off. Peyton is not getting furloughed for the winter. Fuck no. No, absolutely not. What if he found another lawn to mow? That'd be fucking tragic. You can't leave us.

No, I mean, we're not laying him off because we don't have lawn for him to mow. What about snow? he's not much of a skid steer operator but we could give him a shovel just give him a shovel perfect I think he can learn out around the skid we'll find stuff for him

we'll figure that out but yeah no we're not we're not the furlough kind of guys no we're not putting you on unemployment no dude honestly just have him right around with me I find something for him yeah you can always use an extra hand no matter what you're doing I swear like you can get so much done when you just have two people he's like

dude I actually didn't think it could get much worse than mowing on a hot-ass sunny 95-degree day but riding around and CJ's Raptor squeaking all day that shit sucks he's like that's way worse he's like I can't wait for it to be spring again got to get out

good kid all right boys well we got a treehouse to build eh yeah we gotta get back some work to do you guys almost done Oh yeah, we're actually pretty close. Yeah, that's too. Finishing touches.

The timeline, honestly, we could have done 24 hours. Spenny and Gavin probably got it wrapped up at this point. Now that I think about it. Probably going to do our challenge tonight. All right, well, CJ's wedding this weekend. It's going to be a mega day. I'm excited for you. It's going to be the best day of your life.

And everything's going to go smoothly. Just let it be amazing. Let it happen. Don't stress on it too much. And, yeah, we'll see if the boys behave. Dave. They're not going to, but that's okay. I don't think they will. So yeah, as long as you have that expectation, you should be fine. I just want you all to have insane hangovers on Sunday because that means that we had a lot of fun. Never had a Sunday any other way? I got you. Yeah, I don't think we're going to do it big. Ken, already plan. You're going to miss a day in the gym.

I missed today and I'm probably going to miss in the next couple days. Nice. Perfect. All right. There you go. Catch you in the next one, boys. subscribe if you haven't we make podcasts every Tuesday see you next week
