I swear you don't listen.
Sorry, I wasn't paying attention at all.
I feel like a lot of other races celebrate Christmas better.
I love you, I'm sorry about that.
I did not expect this.
What a miracle.
I'll drop in on a skateboard and I want to learn how to kickflip.
Honestly, your New Year's resolutions can't be about skating.
When you almost ran into Ben's Lambo today.
That was pure ice, bro.
O's, hoes, hoes.
No.
We run C-Boys.

It's not that.
Look at them, dude.
All right, Mike.
All right.
Oh, we'll switch up.
Come on in here, Kenny.
Oh, you've come down.
Gifts.
Wow.
I went on the hunt for eggnog.
I found Coor's Light.
There's no eggnog in town.
It's all sold out.
That box looks heavy.
Let's lighten it up a little.
That actually makes sense.
So the C store had eggnog, but it was sold out.
No, they actually never had it.
Oh.
Really?
Thank you, Kenny.
I mean, it's Christmas.
I mean, it's Christmas.
It's Christmas.
It's Christmas, boys.
And it'd be rude to not enjoy Ken's gift.
Thank you for the gifts, Kent.
Cheers. Merry Christmas, fellas.
Sorry, Mike, I did not get you a beverage, but...
That's all good. I got one right here.
Happy holidays, so I don't offend anyone here.
Yeah.
Really, are you not about offending people?
No, I don't actually care.
He has been pretty good about it, though.
You have?
Yeah.
You want to be very inclusive.
Well, I offend enough people with my...
Farts are on you today, Ben, but not me.
I'm not going to talk about my farts today.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll take that.
Have they been bad today?
No, mine haven't been bad today.
Ben goes in waves, but he is shameless when they do come.
The last two days, Ben has been awful.
You're going to get a bag of coal for Christmas, bud.
You know, that's what's cool, though.
When we have Seaboys meetings and Life Hut Open Gear meetings and merch meetings and this and that,
Ben or anyone is allowed to fart as much as they want.
You don't think if you did that in a corporate...
Talk about an employee benefit right there.
If you did that, people would like maybe laugh, and then you do it two times,
and then they'd be like, you know,
Gerald, we can't have you farting.
Rip an ass in a meeting.
And it'd be awkward and that's it.
But I don't, I think you're forgetting that literally,
you guys kicked me out of the room multiple times yesterday.
But I'm not a part.
I don't care of anyone farts, to be honest.
We kick you out to them.
I don't. I don't care at all if people fart.
It just,
Mike, it's really cool, Mike.
It just got a little smelly about midway through.
We're like, okay, you got to do something about this.
Yeah.
So I,
I've been trying to bulk up, so I've been drinking more protein.
And, oh, it's been going to war with my tummy.
Oh, man.
And so is just no one going to mention my decorating?
All the hard work I put in for Christmas.
It's really good, Ryan.
I put tablecloths over the table in the front.
I hung wreaths and garland.
I wrapped our dice over there.
I'm pretty proud of this, boys.
It's feeling very festive.
Honestly, I'm just going to apologize right now that we didn't say anything.
Because it does look really nice in here.
Mike, thank you.
It's really good.
And yeah, this is our Christmas episode.
And guess what I also have to thank Ryan for?
For planning it so that it actually comes out on the week of Christmas.
Yeah, dude, only two days before.
Everybody's on Christmas break.
Like when we did our Halloween, you know how we were like, screw it.
We'll put Halloween costumes on the day of Halloween when the podcast.
Yeah, but it came out two weeks later.
And I'm like, I don't, who cares?
But was that Ryan's doing?
I think this, it just worked out that way, Mike.
I think we filmed it on Halloween, didn't we?
No, yeah, I wasn't blaming that on Ryan.
No, this is coming out on Christmas because we just, uh...
No, he...
Yeah, because I planned and decorated it.
So we're doing the Christmas special this week.
Yeah, these decorations.
Oh, this wasn't just by accident.
No, Ben.
Your mother worked very hard on all this.
It's one of those things you don't notice until you get older.
Look at that.
Look at that.
The Christmas spirit.
He came home and he didn't even thank me.
Doesn't appear.
Yeah, thank you, Ryan.
Not only is it a Christmas special, but it's our 200.
podcast episode boys huge wow against all odds on that what's the stat that you said in the
beginning most podcasts don't make it 10 2% of podcasts make it past 10 episodes how about that we're at 200
that's insane that is 200 and i think we're up like a hundred and 25 or more thousand subscribers
this year so we've had a great year that thank you guys really awesome too i mean like people are
just they're i guess exponential they're tuning in it's amazing yeah they're coming back every single
week.
I saw it.
Pretty impressive because we talk about some dumb ass shit on this podcast.
Shout out to the people that just keep tuning back in.
Keep coming in to laugh.
Yeah,
appreciate you guys.
Appreciate you guys.
I saw a small,
small handful of comments that you guys really dropped the ball,
not getting TP on for the 199.
I know.
I wanted it.
We wanted it.
You know,
he's a popular guy.
But shout out to Travis Bistrana for our 199th episode, last episode.
It was in a nice house and it was freaking hilarious.
Yeah,
I didn't think that was going to leak out.
out there, but
I was hoping to keep that under wraps.
What leaked out of where?
The whole like me doing, whatever.
Oh,
what happened last podcast?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I wanted to follow up.
Yeah.
Actually, Ken.
I wasn't planning on hitting you with it right away, but did you end up closing the deal?
No, I, no.
Did you set up the TV is what he means?
No, I've not set up the TV yet.
I got it.
I was planning on going there tonight.
Hey.
Does she have no TV at the moment?
It's just in a box, but yeah.
Yeah, so she hasn't been able to watch TV in a couple weeks
In that room
She has other TVs
There's other TVs
And is that why you wore your favorite overalls today, Ken?
That adds some nice contour to what's going on
Fitted?
Yeah, oh, they're fitted.
Is that why?
No, no, I just threw them on
Because they knew we were going to be running around outside
Well, shit, I was really hoping that you were going to have some
details for us
Of how this TV set up
Oh, yeah, went, but I guess we'll have
to tune back in on the next podcast
and get caught up with Ken
about how the TV set up goes.
I was telling Sydney the story
and then you know how everyone was like,
oh, I bet you're not even going to set it up, Ken?
Which, if you don't have to hang it on the wall,
setting up a flat screen TV is like...
Pretty easy.
Legs on, plug it in.
That's it.
Maybe connected to Wi-Fi.
Okay, yeah, and I would add that.
But then, think, signing into all your apps,
that might take a while.
It's a pain in the bot, dude.
All the streaming services and YouTube.
I feel kind of bad because it's come over the holiday season now,
but I recently have had to cut both my mom and my sister off of all the streaming platforms.
I pay for every streaming platform, not because I'm trying to flex on you guys right now.
But I just, there's a show on every freaking platform.
Like, you just, you need to have them all.
The way I look at it is like the luxury that you want is to, like, when you want to watch something,
you're like, I want to want to.
to buy it so that I can watch it.
I want Oreos with milk.
Yes.
And I don't care how fat they make me.
Clearly.
Dude, this sweatshirt's tight, okay?
See, they didn't know my size.
Yeah, Ryan, you definitely haven't been quite as humble
ever since this whole quad thing.
Yeah.
So old Ryan, old Ryan was just flexed on all the viewers
by saying that you pay for every streaming service.
But nobody watches more TV episodes than Ryan.
Like this guy has watched
Every series imaginable.
You can ask him any show and he just says, yep, watch it, didn't like it.
That one's pretty good, but gets pretty boring in the middle.
You and Alandra have your ear to the ground.
Oh, yeah, dude.
With streaming entertainment.
They say TV isn't a bonding experience for a couple.
And they're probably right.
You know, you probably should do something that, like, grows you together and forces you to talk.
But, like, we bond over TV and, like, the excitement.
Like, she just texted me.
Our last text message, I can't wait to watch our show tonight.
That's the last message.
And what is your current show?
Dude, Fallout is coming out.
Wait, when?
So good.
The first season of fall, it was really good.
So good, actually.
It was last weekend it came out.
Wasn't it the 12th?
You have to check that at?
Dude, I think that you guys somehow have like a time machine for how much time you can spend
watching TV when we live like the same lives.
Like we have pretty much the same schedule.
And Greta and I will watch like one TV series like a quarter.
What do you do between 9 and 11 p.m.?
Actually, it's extremely inconvenient to me and Greta's personal time together,
but I sauna every single night.
And that's like an hour ordeal.
Yeah, by the time I'm done with that.
There's an episode.
You can get it up.
Just put a TV right outside of your sauna.
You can get an episode in.
Yeah, and you can put a little chair next to it so she can sit and watch with you.
Do you rip YouTube while you're in that sauna?
So you rip a sauna every day.
Yeah.
Do you take an hour process?
Do you watch YouTube at least?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I do.
scroll whatever.
But something's going on with my Wi-Fi and it's really been pissing me off
where like if I have my phone at the bottom of my sauna, it won't get service now.
I don't know, dude, I've actually been getting pretty pissed off.
Like I'll get in there, finally get comfortable and then it'll start hitting the ring on me.
Yeah, and I'm like, oh my gosh.
Then I'm walking around my basement trying to get a signal for it to load.
And then as soon as it loads, then I'll like try and go back in.
Slowly go back over there.
Yeah, slowly go back over there.
I know.
I got to get that.
I got to get that.
Only sauna for 15 minutes, but it takes me an hour to find the YouTube video.
How are we living in 2025, almost 2026, and you don't have service everywhere you go?
In like five years, everyone's going to just be on a Starlink plan.
Like, you're on Verizon plan right now.
I foresee Starlink just like taking that over.
And then anywhere in the world, there's going to be a Starlink satellite over you,
and you're going to have service.
Be clutching the mountains.
It is nice going on trips.
I'll get a little Starlink mini, throw that in the sunriff, and then you just got perfect
Wi-Fi the whole road trip it is nice
completely is that is that where the future's going
because that makes the most sense
but I imagine they'll just like
either collab with Verizon or
take over they already have like
if there's no cell service you can send
a text message over satellite right
and it's just they just got to improve that signal
yeah I think I think it'll be a collab
they'll still have 5G waves
turning the frogs gay and stuff and then they'll have
the satellites I almost forgot about
those frogs yeah that makes a little
bit more sense
Ev, didn't you just get a 5G cell tower put up by your house?
In your backyard?
I had a jail put up at nice to my house.
Really?
Did you really?
Yeah.
How much was it?
The jail?
Yeah, you said I had a jail put up next to my house.
I had a swing set put up next to my house.
It was 1299.
Yeah.
Is the jail what you call your room when Nikki kicks you out?
Yeah.
It's a shed.
Oh, yeah.
No, no, sell, no gay frogs in my house.
But the jail, so they put a jail up next to your house?
So when you leave the casino, do you go there before you go home?
No, I try to avoid it at all costs, but it is concerning.
When I'm sitting in my living room and you, like, swipe over on Snapchat, it'll like, your location will be like jail.
Wow.
Do you ever see, like, any runaways?
Dude, no, it's actually, it's bad.
Like, when they get released, they just have to walk and then they just, like, wander in.
Wait.
Do your neighborhood?
I don't think anything's bad happened, but they'll just be like wandering around waiting for someone to pick them up or whatever.
It's literally just like they walk out the front door and they're just like, see ya.
Yeah.
It's not like, oh, do you have a bus ticket or some way to get off the property?
Literally just you walk out of the door.
It's like when you respond in GTA, you're just walking out of the hospital.
You got a couple blocks maybe.
They usually have a plastic bag and a bushel of paperwork.
Damn.
Imagine how crazy would be you get out of jail and you walk by a house and it's Evan in the front yard.
Have you been?
been to that, yeah, his Lambo's in the, in the driveway.
Have you been to that jail before?
No.
Non-voluntarily?
The old one or the new one?
No, the new one next to your house.
No, no.
Because that would have been convenient.
Like, you go to jail and you get let out.
Do you, uh, are you calling someone to get a ride?
No, I'm just walking home.
But you see, like, I don't, obviously it's not a prison, so there's no yard or whatever,
but you see the fellas out in the yard and you're mowing.
What's up, Jerry?
Dude, I would hate to make him jealous.
Yeah.
Do you guys remember that thing in school?
You ever have it where like during homecoming you would get sent to the jail?
You ever remember having that?
Oh man, it was just my school.
I was so fucking scared of getting sent to the jail.
It was like a thing.
It was like a fundraiser.
Like you nominated someone to go to jail.
I don't even know how it works.
No one ever picked me.
But like, yeah, you would.
So then you would go to this jail and then you would have to like pick someone else to go to the jail cell.
And it was like set up in the hallway and homecoming or maybe like a common area.
A spectacle.
Yeah.
Was it real jail?
I mean.
You get sent to real jail.
No, no, silly.
It's just, it's just metal bars.
It's like a little cage.
Got it.
For some reason, I thought that it was a fundraiser of like.
You just ship a fucking elementary schooler off to jail.
Yeah, if you donate $20, it buys your raffle ticket.
Yeah.
And on your raffle ticket, you can write somebody's name.
And then at the end of the, you know, homecoming week, there's 500 raffle tickets in here.
It raised 10,000.
for the school and one person gets selected to have to go and spend the night in jail.
No, it was kind of like the thing, you know, where you could buy flowers for people at your school.
Do you have that during homecoming?
Candy gram?
Was that a candy?
Oh, yeah, we did flowers.
Candy was way better.
Lafie taffies, right?
Ours was candy cane on a thing.
Oh, dude, talk about how you could like let a chick know.
You send her a candy gram.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
This was like the reverse.
Like if you wanted to fuck with your buddy, you and your guys.
pulled together five bucks and sent your buddy to jail and then he had to like do something you had
to like high five and it makes sense and since they were in school they could just be like yeah that's
what you have to do yeah yeah it was sick you got out of class uh so did you ever send a candy gram
you went to high school with your now fiancee yeah but they don't do candy grams like outside
of elementary school oh really that was at least where i would school yeah we might have had
it through middle school but elementary probably maybe middle school mike did i don't think we had that
at all holly had a bunch of weird shit going on we had other weird stuff but
You guys had a bunch of weird shit going on over there.
I wish I could remember it.
I guess right before I graduated, they hit me with the men in black.
Like,
oh, yeah.
Don't remember anything.
I think that might have been the drugs you did right after high school.
I think you men in blacked yourself.
I don't remember any of that either.
That was a joke.
I didn't fry my brain after high school, Ben.
Like dead ass.
No.
Hit a deer, kind of, in the Corvette.
Unfortunate.
Welcome to the family, brother.
Yeah, it was.
One of those where, like, you see it, and if I really locked them up,
I don't think I would have been in a pickle at all.
But I'm veering to the left, and the deer just swipes and smashes the mirror against the window.
Not just in any car.
In a C6.4 vat.
And your vet.
The second day I was driving it.
Dude, congrats on the new whip, Mike.
Thank you, bro.
It's so awesome.
I actually completely approve of this purchase.
It's a very money, Mike purchase.
You know, it's a piece of shit.
But it's an awesome whip when it does work.
When it does work.
that has been most of the time some of your ownership with it yeah i was very surprised when
you said i hit a deer and the only thing that was broken was the mirror glass that's all i hit
the deer with was my mirror like crazy they start building the hall is tougher and it was already
that mirror was already broken so i had to do that but then i pulled up to the sea store the other day
and i don't know what happened the anti theft is freaking out wouldn't let me in the car the doors
wouldn't open ken may have smashed my window engine was run i if i
wouldn't have smashed that window you would have still been trying to like fiddle fuck with that thing
i don't know how i would have got it open so yes yes i'm not gonna say like you did me a favor you
you smash my window with a hammer it's sitting outside with the window down right now i did you a favor
and i saved you two hours of fiddle fucking cannot put a price on this mic i knew you're gonna say that
so um it was smart that it was the passenger window so it's a little warmer when you're driving
But I have the other funny thing is I've been driving it with the broken window a little bit
Because I did eventually get it working and now it's not working again
Really? It's actually not working
I drove it here every you see it?
No shit I noticed that it was on the charger
Yeah so we got it working did some donuts today
I'm like chipper I'm so stoked understandable
I drove it here go back to get in it and nothing works
Oh start nothing so keep this in mind for the listener
Mike's Corvette
Rewheel Drive Corvette has winter tires on it
And like nobody drives
Corvettes in the winter
But Mike is
Which is why I think it's so sick
Like it's just like he was driving in a full on snowstorm
The other day
Like trucks were barely getting down the road
And Mike's like busting through drifts in his corvette
Like that's sick
And so that's why I'm extra proud of you
Are you getting looks around town?
Oh yeah
Yeah
Like are people stoked?
For the most part yeah
I mean no one's mad yeah
Like, people, like, don't, they don't notice it that.
It's not like it's a bright red or anything.
It's black, but anyone else.
It's not a red corvette.
Like, I had two different instances where people in WRXs were like,
let's go, let's race.
Come on, bro.
You got four-wheel drive.
Yeah.
Such a W.R.X thing to do.
Right?
Those guys are always trying to race.
But yeah, C-6 on Blizzax could be the move.
It's for sure the move.
And so now I just got to get it working.
Yeah, that would help.
Also, only send me a DM if you know something,
but I do need help on the C-6.
anti-theft system because apparently it's a huge problem with the electronic i think you just need
a new key might have to do something with the salt and the water no i drove it for no it could you know
most corvettes are never driven in the rain and you're driving in the snow i think that's your
problem in the salt yeah it could be it doesn't it has the mild angle kit so it doesn't have fender
liners so maybe even better i don't know i lost my shit when you use your uh your wiper
fluid and all of it just dumped out.
Yeah, that was weird, too.
It was hilarious.
What did you say when you were filling it?
It's probably a giant crack in the tank.
But why did it only come out if I turned it on, like added pressure, then it all started
squirting out.
Because he just put water in it.
It's got to be the hose was cracked, I'm sure.
Well, windchill wiper's not expensive.
I was going to say, no, I put the good stuff in there.
Well, you did, but the person before, like, why is it?
Why was the tank cracked?
Oh.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
It's a salvage title car, so it's been crashed at some time.
He's got a tight.
That's a step up from your last one.
It was.
It was a huge step up.
And I got the winter or the license plate,
Winter Ride or Winter Ripper.
They don't,
they just make you write two down.
You know me?
Had to get it customized plate.
It was going to be a normal plate, yeah.
Damn, Mike, just in like two months,
you went from not owning a Corvette
to now owning more Corvettes
than anyone else in the crew.
Well, no, he only owns one again.
I only own one.
Yeah, but you've owned too.
Oh, owned.
Yeah.
Is that true?
I technically, I have the vet cart.
Yeah.
So it's a tie.
Such a tie.
Someone's got to break the tie.
But Ryan also, you kind of get the win there because you currently own both of them.
True.
Honestly, you know, half the reason that I own the Corvette right now is because of like, after I posted that and everyone's just like Gavin hitting it, it just really fired me up.
Everyone's like, you need another Corvette.
And I listened.
I could see myself in another life being a Corvette guy.
Because you're a viper guy.
You're a viper guy.
You should go get a cheap viper and then rip that thing around.
A 99 viper with a ton of miles on it.
The one thing that makes the C6 drive a bull in the winter is that it has traction control.
Yeah, is it sketchy?
Not really.
Not if you're willing to only just be sliding around.
When you almost ran into Ben's Lambo today.
That was pure ice, bro.
Yeah, Mike almost rear-ended my Lambo.
Really?
I have it on video and it's so classic that you look over at me and just like clutched up
at the second you realize what's going on your head.
It's straight of the Lambo.
Yeah, it was scary.
And like I think we're all, we all know that it could happen at any moment.
So if I was like about to hit, I don't know, like the Dooley Ranger or the company truck even, like it doesn't scare me that much.
I'm not saying I'm driving around crazy.
Like I don't care if I hit anything.
But when you're sliding towards the Lambo, it's a different.
feeling i don't know dude it's just been like so funny like it would have been so funny
mike gets this corvette it breaks in the cornrod store parking lot we have to pull him back
after ken smashes the window he gets it running again and then he drives it into the back of my
lambo that was the thought process crazy it's just hilarious obviously i'm glad that it didn't happen
but i would have i would have for sure gotten a good laugh out of it if it did and then you
would have been pissed.
Yeah, I mean, it is what it is.
Dude, I kind of want to get like a W.R.X or something for the winter.
Really?
I don't know.
Like, seeing Mike ripping around in, in,
remember when Ryan was,
I know we were on a different page,
but when Ryan was like,
what should I get for a winter beater?
I'm like,
dude,
like a W.
Everyone looked at me like I was like.
Was that on this podcast?
Yes.
Speaking of roll the clip.
Speaking of your W.
What's the status of that thing?
It's getting worked on.
When is that?
When is that going to be done?
It's just like they're doing so much.
They're taking their time.
And then they're building one other car from the ground up.
And I was like,
For you?
No, not for me.
I was like, oh, damn.
And then there was a hiatus.
And then he told me that the guy that is getting this car built is sick.
So they want to finish it.
Finish his.
I was like, much respect.
And it's like an insane C3 Corvette, literally from the ground up.
Sweet.
Crazy built motor.
So, I don't know.
Subaru's on halt.
We got all kinds of parts of fresh motor for it.
Ready to go in.
Holy shit.
Oh,
you're doing it.
A fresh motor, yeah.
Is it a Ripper?
I don't know.
I mean,
you probably have a,
you probably have a,
I paid for Ripper motor.
Yeah.
Is it a Ripper?
Yeah.
No,
yeah.
Is it fast?
It hasn't even been in a car.
Mike,
I think,
uh,
what he's trying to have.
Did you build the motor,
Mike?
Is it a stock motor?
No,
built the motor,
but we don't know
what it's going to be at for horsepower until.
Really, not at all.
I mean,
we have a ballparks,
no,
I figured you might, okay, 500, that's pretty good.
Yeah.
It's a good ripper.
Ben, you, no, you should get something cooler than one of those.
Those are cool cars, but you should get something more.
No, you should get a W-R-X.
A C-N-T-C or what are we?
What about a 90s Mazda Miata?
Yeah, I'm not stuck on that.
Like, you know, like this in the C-6 round.
Ooh, Hellcat.
Hellcat could work.
Hellcat could work.
A boat.
It would be a big boat.
You could get the challenger, the charger version,
which would be all-wheel drive.
They put all-wheel-driving.
No, Hellcats are always real drive.
You can get a track-cock.
That's a, that's a Hellcat motor.
Yeah, but that's literally,
that is the exact same car I have right now pretty much.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I owned an S-R-T once.
That was a great car.
It was.
But, yeah, that wouldn't really make sense either.
So what other?
I don't know, something that's a manual.
Yeah.
Something that is inexpensive.
A supra, which is relative.
I mean, you can obviously buy an expensive
WRX, but like manual, ideally four-wheel drive.
Lame.
I was thinking about a Focus RS, sorry, Mike.
That'd be cool.
I wish I never would have sold mine.
Why?
Because it's worth more money than when you sold it.
I wouldn't have lost money on it.
It's worth about what I sold it for, what was that,
probably six years ago now?
Same with my SRT, dude.
Those things just level.
I took that initial.
hit on the depreciation and now it's just
at that level. If they
make that new hatchback
STI that they, which is similar
to the blue hatchback,
I will buy one.
I think that was a concept. I know, but
that's why I said if they make it.
And that concept
is Mike off more than when we call them up for
getting R-C'd or AI.
Bro, that's not even
the same thing. I did
the research on it. You just
Looked at the picture I showed you
They literally took a Subaru cross truck
Put a body kit on and said
Look at our new car
It's all they did
Okay but there's so many varying levels of concept
Do you think you could buy the concept itself
I don't think I'd want it so bad
Why don't you build it?
You can't like if you built a Ford Raptor
It's not a Ford Raptor
What is it then?
It's whatever you name it
Like Ford Raptors
You don't make Ford Raptors
Hey you don't tell him
What he does and doesn't do
All right
Why not?
So anyway
If they make it
I will buy it
Yeah we know that Mike
Somewhere in a boardroom
That clip just played
Yeah
And all the businessmen
Look at each other
And go
One guy said he would
They're like a dude wipe company
Yeah
And they're like no
He said that about like a car
I think
Yeah but we're gonna use that
Well you lost me a little bit there
I don't know
Like, they're using it at a board meeting, and it's if they make it, I will buy it.
And they're like, see, this is perfect.
Like, this is the type of guy we need.
But, like, I'm talking about car.
We need more of him.
Yeah.
I see what you're saying.
Is that a perfect segue into a dude, dude, dude, we don't actually, we aren't sponsored by dude wipes.
Ken, you can't just, does your life just revolve around promos, Ken?
Well, it's, Ryan's life does.
And now it's just slowly trickling into everyone else's.
It doesn't quite revolve around it.
But I do, you know, last year, I surprised everybody with gifts,
but with tariffs
fucking tariffs
and
you cheap bastard credit card fees
we have foregone
the Christmas special gifts this year
oh I thought you were going to say
but I did get like the whole group
one little thing
no I actually I was talking to
GLD about getting us custom
life wide open chains but they said they couldn't do it
in six days notice so
Well, maybe next year you have something to look forward to.
And your butt is coming in what part of the sentence?
It's just straight up no gifts.
Good, butts can't come.
There it is.
No, there's no butt in this sentence.
There is no gifts this year.
So what do you guys got going on over Christmas?
Ken.
Ken, why don't you start?
Why don't you start?
How is it living with your familia?
Uh, it's great.
Uh, I can't wait to go.
I'm going to Florida after Christmas, so.
But what about for Christmas?
We're just going to the, sticking at the parents' house.
I think all of us around here are very, like, Midwestern Caucasian family Christmases.
Like, we don't do anything special.
We just do white Christmases.
Yeah.
We don't do anything.
Did you need to throw that part in?
The race?
You got to pull the race card on Christmas.
No, shit.
We're having.
white christmas is i feel like a lot of other races celebrate christmas better than we do
what does what does race have to do anything with christmas i'm sorry for calling white people
christmas is bland i'm sorry explain to me a more spicy christmas um let's say like a mexican
for sure it's gonna have more spicy yeah and they're they're probably like singing songs and
We have Christmas carols
Coming from the guy that hates Christmas music
Oh, so you're saying theirs are better
They do have Feliz Navidad
Yeah, that's a banger
It's a banger.
Yeah, I don't know where I was going
I just think whenever you ask any of us
What we're doing for Christmas
We always say,
Going to the families
And that's like it
Could you elaborate on that?
Yeah, we got a tree, gifts, food
Hang out with my family
So you're saying other races
Celebrate Christmas
In a more extravagant manner
That's not where I was going
with it, but potentially.
Yeah.
I've been thinking about this, and I do think that Christmas has lost its sparkle.
Like in the 90s, early 2000s, look at the Christmas movies.
I wasn't alive.
I know, but that exactly.
They were so.
No, they were just great, dude.
They were, it was, Christmas was such a special.
Hallmark pumped out so many of the same movies just with different actors.
They ruined Christmas.
And now it's just AI slop is doing the exact same.
No, Christmas movies now are not.
that would like AI Slop.
Nearly is crazy.
Oh my gosh.
Do you guys watch Christmas movies?
The classics?
Does Home Alone count?
Because in my book, it does.
Yeah, that's a Christmas movie.
Home alone's great.
National Lampoons, Christmas.
Amazing.
Elf?
Nah.
Well, besides what Evan we just said about the first elf.
And why don't you like Elf?
No, it's fine.
It's fine.
What?
It's fine.
What, do you feel like it's a derogatory turrets?
He just thinks it's fucked up
That he left all the other elves
Yeah do you think that's messed up
No no buddy's good
Like that his name buddy
Buddy? Buddy
Yes buddy no it's fine it's fine
Or is it Rocket man
Dude buddy Rocket man
What a legend
I bet they have a fucking crazy Christmas man
You're right I bet they do
I bet they have rockets
Like a rocket propelled Christmas tree
That shoots up into the air
Bro Ken chill
What are you doing Ken?
Ken
He's just trying to spread Christmas cheer
Well, it's not a Tuesday
I'm not the Grinch over here
I'm trying to keep people happy
While you're handing them bullets out
So last weekend
And I went to Vegas
Which I feel like is a reoccurring subject
Dude I've heard that so many times this year
This is insane
I know exactly
I feel like the
I feel like a listener at this point
I know
You guys get home
And I'm like tell me about your Vegas
This trip.
How were the doors?
I just want to get to that.
Doors were standard.
Standard doors this trip.
Nothing too crazy other than the rodeo.
Bro, the rodeos.
Oh, Ken, I had to put his beard out for this.
All righty.

I told you guys, rodeo is pretty lit.
You guys all laughed at me.
Everyone else came with had fun.
I believe it.
I've been to a couple rodeos.
They are lit.
The rodeo was sick.
First of all, like, I don't understand the rodeo.
I get, you know, horse bowl.
Would you just stay on as long as he can?
Yeah, but they only ride bowls for fucking...
Eight seconds.
It's hard.
But, no, like, the bowl riding segment,
maybe it had to do with the beverages I was drinking,
but felt like it was maybe 15 minutes long.
Like, there's probably what, 10 riders?
Eight seconds a ride.
They probably do it every minute.
There's more than that.
No, it was very short.
There's barrel racing and there's double roping and roping and all the different things.
It's insane because these guys are doing it for like 10 days straight down there.
They are.
Like it's a 10 day show and they just go night after night.
Wait, it's a show?
Yeah, it's a show.
It's very performative.
Isn't it a competition?
Yeah, but it's a competition.
Was it PBR?
No, it's like it's NFR.
The finals.
The one thing they have right, which is cool, is they don't say.
Say, like, there's no point system or anything like that.
It's money.
So they'll be like, she's earned $185,000 this year.
Like when they bring them out and you're just like, yeah, it's a million dollar bull rider.
Exactly.
So, like, you could go out there with some arbitrary bullshit point system, but they're just like, nah, here's a guy who's made $700,000 riding bulls this year.
And you're like, fuck yeah, that's lit.
So that was a hell of a way to earn a living.
For sure.
I think the grounds are doing well?
The rodeo clowns were savages.
I hope.
But, you got to get one time.
Financially.
Yeah, I hope, but I could see a whole documentary about it and being like,
rodeo clowns, wow, he's getting shit on, man.
I can see him, like, getting, like, pre-gaming to go out there,
psyching themselves up.
You would definitely be a rodeo clown.
Dude, I think I would rather step into the rodeo ring as a clown than a bull rider.
Your odds of getting fucked up.
Don't make me regret saying that, but.
I see the real.
A little twinkle in Benzai right there.
I don't know why, but for some reason,
I think I have, I have, like, 1% more odds for my terms.
Maybe not in my favor, but.
I agree.
I think, I mean, if you're riding the bull 100%, you are going to get touched by the bull.
But if you're the clown, like, there's really one on every couple of runs.
And you're in the freaking barrel getting hit.
That's true that you're not always, stand in a barrel.
You're not always in the barrel.
Fuck it.
But the rodeo's got it figured out, dude.
Like there's the audience and the crowd.
And every cutaway, they just find three hot chicks
and just put them on the Jumbotron.
You guys are so gross.
They did cut back to the same three chicks.
Like multiple times.
I don't remember.
But I'm just saying they know how to make it a spectacle.
You go to a freaking...
You are just a big.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm on the defend Ryan a couple of...
I don't think he said it.
Like he was...
excited.
It wasn't like, oh my God, the chicks, but it was just a better event.
It was just a better event.
Sad.
What are they going to do with a fucking demo derby or something?
They cut away to Bruce, like, find the hot chicks.
Cut away the camera to them.
I know, I'm just kidding.
You know, like, you go to an NBA game.
Who do they show in the crowd?
Celebrities and hot chicks.
They've got the formula down.
And so then you go to the rodeo, they follow that.
And it makes people want to show up.
It feels cool to be at the rodeo.
So what else did you guys do in Vegas?
Yeah, was the rodeo more fun or the Gavin Adcock concert more fun?
A lot.
Dude, bro, we hosted a straight up meetup at the Gavin Adcock concert.
It was lit.
We walked out and one person stopped us for a picture as it was like a hallway.
It got chaotic.
It was awesome.
It was so sweet, though.
Everybody was hammered and having fun.
That's cool.
I saw a couple videos of Ken.
Now you're just like big dogging.
on the tables, Ken, gambling like $3,500 a hand?
Okay, so I got influenced into gambling basically every dollar I had on me.
Yeah, because, oh, didn't you tell, you told me that you were going with like three grand.
Except I forgot to go to the bank and I came there with like $300 and then I did like take out $1,000 at a time per day.
So every time I'm playing with you though, you're, you're playing like $25 hands.
So how did it go from $25 to a $3,500 blackjack?
I think CJ or Gavin or somebody told me, oh, you should just gamble everything.
You don't always listen to other people, though.
And I had, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
I had a lot of beverages at that point of the night and just put everything down on one hand of blackjack.
One, and, you know, of course, we're celebrating.
And then Colorado Gavin spills his drink all over the table.
In classic.
I was reviewing the footage and it was just unfortunate.
He put his drink in the air and it looked like you tried to high five his drink.
I did hit it and then...
So you hit it.
You spelled it.
Probably shouldn't have been holding it over 50, 50.
Yeah. Dealer had to shut the table down like they had to change out all the cards.
Did they pay you before they all this bullshit?
They did.
Oh, that would have safe.
They would have iced you.
They paid me and then we go to another table in a different pit and that that dealer got
rotated into that pit.
Did somebody say,
the video because it's it is pretty comical
and CJ's just zooms in on his face
right as it happens the guy's looking at you guys like
what the man here's what I don't understand
is dude people spill on those tables
25 times a day problem is we spilled on the cards as well
they could have been marked so then they have they have to
swap all the cards out got it okay that makes sense
but I was like dude relax this this guy just won
3,500 dollar hand his boys are celebrating
they spill a little drink on the table
the pit boss just comes by and they just wipe the table up like people spill on those tables all
the time yeah that it just happens right but this guy was just sitting there just like couldn't
believe what just happened the uh the dealer i was like bro what the fuck's that guy's deal i think
it's like kind of a thing because they have to like change all the cards out of the you know
the shuffler and all that kind of stuff and that makes it like when it's out of like their normal
rotation of replacing cards then they can't then they can't uh well they can't have the cards in their
favor it's also like 10 o'clock on a friday saturday night it was busy busy what did you do
directly after when gambled on a on a different table did you win uh well actually i tried to wait in
line to cash my chips out and then line was too long so i went and played box classic stories
i did go up a couple hundred bucks so oh even better so you were sitting on seven grand after that blackjack
Ken? Yep, then gamble a little more
and then came home with three.
There's $4,000 discrepancy there.
Oh, I also, I did a $5,000 hand.
I borrowed $5,000 from Dave.
Jesus.
Did it on a hand and lost it.
Oh, God.
Ken.
Also just slides that one in there at the end.
Give me the card.
Give me real quick, real quick.
What did you get that?
What was the dealer showing?
I don't remember.
You do remember.
This hurts.
This one was late.
You actually don't remember.
remember i don't remember yeah of course he doesn't remember it didn't work out in his favor just like him
kicking the tv i don't remember you remember the one you won i don't remember what the cards i got on that
one either dude this guy you was like mike post high school you got a 17 and then they busted
oh perfect i don't remember what the video said so me and mike okay one other thing we were we were
gambling at aria and gavin turns me he's like i'm pretty sure that's zach top next to us on the
table next door to us and i'm like looking through
his Instagram was like, I can't tell
if I was like, I've never fucking heard of Zach Hop in my
life. He wasn't
saying, I sleep like a baby.
Well, so I'm looking at him. I was like,
I'm looking at his Instagram. I'm like, I can't tell if
that's him or not. I eventually get up, go
to a different table and then Gavin
goes over and talks to him and it was
Zach Topp just gambling at a
gambling at Aria. Especially the first thing he asked him,
do you like three wheelers? Yeah, Gavin went in
in there one open table. Then the
entourage of his crew was crazy.
He just had a big crew. Yeah. And then
we, we,
had, you know, our 15 people, and Gavin just slips in there, hops on the table, plays with
them, became boys with all of his boys. I don't really know if he got to be friends with
Zach or Mr. Top, but he was pretty good friends with the rest of the crew. Yeah, I heard that
Gab hit it off with the bass player was like a big fan. Oh, really? That's cool. I didn't. And
Gab somehow got invited on like their party bus. That was, I don't know where they, what they were doing
or where they were going.
Well, I do, but I'm not going to say.
And then there are some videos, yeah.
But me and Mike weren't there,
but I texted in the group chat late at night,
and I said, yo, for this video bit,
put $1,000 on a roulette hand.
And I was like, or $5,000 on a roulette hand.
Everyone, each one of us puts in $1,000.
And then it'll, like, finish off this video bit.
Well, I know that we won,
but I haven't seen the money of our winnings.
So I don't know how it went.
Can somebody please tell me?
We did win.
Your cousin took the money.
I don't know what he did with the money after that.
My cousin is CJ.
Ryan and I got paid out.
I don't know where your money's at.
I demanded it on the spot.
Yeah, because that's the thing with this guy is you know that money's already gotten allocated
towards other bets.
So that's when I'm just wondering how long until I get paid out on this deal.
I did see him wandering around the deal.
the sports book before we left.
So I don't know where that's at, but...
Could be problematic.
Yeah.
And it's gone.
When he's updating everyone on Snapchat, he's like,
oh, you know, I'm 10 bucks up.
So a lot of work, not much to show for it.
And he goes, I think I'm just going to go back to sports betting.
Which he is bad at, but he's not as bad as sports betting.
Like, he still loses money on that, but he loses more money elsewhere.
The burn rate of sports betting is a lot slower than the burn rate of slot.
machines or table games. Mike, we came out pretty good. We came out great. And I was, so I said,
yep, I'll throw a thousand bucks in. And then I was like over thinking about it. I'm like, man,
I hope they win. I hope they win. And I'm like, gosh, it's like, if we lose, they're definitely
going to ask for the money. But if we win, I didn't pay anyone yet. So, like, they could just
take that money and be like, ah, like, you never sent me any money, man. We did the bet.
Classic. Yeah, so I was thinking a lot about it. And then you guys sent the video. Ryan, great job
filming bro they do not like you filming in there they don't they were like covering him up yeah yeah
the lady kind of like body checked me needed a grandpa i i was like calling it a buffer i was like calling
in favors we were asking people left and right like hey can we film can we film and who are you
calling for favors i was calling a couple casino hosts so we were talking to pit bosses and
everyone was basically saying no you're going to talk to this person we walked in the high limit
room it's fucking super quiet up there like it's people are there to work dude it's quite
quiet and there's little rooms like every table has its own room we've never been up there we all
stroll in post rodeo fucking bon right where's the roulette table and the guy comes over and a big
soon he goes there's no roulette in here and we go okay turn around stumble out well it's pretty
funny yeah so i got to track that guy down your cousin i yeah he's not even uh he's not even here
today he's been awfully quiet ever since he got back and he owes me my money he's been
Off and quiet.
Yeah, no, CJ texted us this morning and he said that he was down with the sickness.
More sick today than he was when he had COVID.
And the boys were down when we were all sick.
He sent us his little, his little whoop score, 1% recovery.
Yeah, that was interesting to me.
It was basically showing him that he was at like 1% of what he could be.
And I don't know how it reads that, but it was like, it was like, find comfort in,
there's 0.5% of people on.
on the app are also at 1%
so you're not alone.
I do see that he...
What the fuck did that need to be said for?
He slept from 4.43 a.m. to 10.18 a.m.
Sounds like a normal Zorba's night.
Yeah.
For 10 sleep.
I know.
Some guys just aren't built like you...
I also didn't either.
Like, I looked at it.
I remember one time Justin was like...
I was working on some of the stuff for the merch shop
and he's like, did you sleep last night?
Like, you look fucking super tired.
And I'm like...
no like i i went to bed super late and then i'm like but i you know i still slept to like 9 30 so i got
five hours and he's like oh you got more than me justin has a son that keeps him up at night so
i'm like yeah i didn't know babies didn't sleep that much like some sleep for like seven
eight hours straight one i don't think they're often up a long time in the middle of the night they
just they're up for a little bit snack and go back to bed yeah yeah he'll say like oh
can't argue with that he's woke him up needed to do something and then just what do you
to do with the baby he should just sleep probably has a diaper full of shit worrying about his taxes
making sure that they're getting filed yeah he's thinking hmm how can i further the corporate greed
of my company you know he's like i'm a baby but i know that when i'm 18 years old i'll look back
it today and be like damn it i should have bought a house you know that keeps a lot of babies
of at night.
If only I would have bought Bitcoin when I was three days old.
Who was the dunce that put the sticker on my door handle today at the farm?
It made a mess.
Enough residue.
And then I put gooby-gun on there.
And I was using the torch.
And it's just like such a mess now.
I'm not happy about it.
What did the sticker say?
Whatever brand those wheels are.
I'm starting to think that it was either Ben or Dahlton.
Could also be Micah.
No, it wasn't me.
Dalton!
Ben's ignoring us.
I think it was him.
I think it was Ben just based on the fact that...
Did you put a sticker on Evan's door handle today?
I was walking with him when he noticed it.
Well, that's unfortunate.
Ev got residue on his handle from a sticker.
Ben, you never said no.
Straight up, wasn't me?
Okay.
If it's that big of a deal, just look it up on the security cams.
Oh, true, true.
Remember that one time that CJ put a sticker on Ken's Tesla?
I was thinking about that.
I was thinking while I'm like running Gooby-Goobie.
gone down my door and
making a mess. I'm like, now I see what I can
I was so pissed. I'm not actually pissed
I was just curious. It was Brian. Oh, that's
for sure, Brian. Look at him,
looking around, looking for the side, or, uh...
For no reason. He went out there.
Malicious intent. He did.
That is hilarious. It's cool, though, that he picked
you, you know? And it's cool to see him
out there doing stuff like that. Oh, he feet
on my tire first. Oh, no. Maybe he's
not. I'm sorry. Yeah, what's he
do? Why is he hiding behind my truck? What is
maybe there's a sticker you haven't even noticed yet
like he's like
oh god damn it
I knew the stickers were a three
pack and I found two
oh my gosh
oh my god
you know what makes it better
when I walked into the shop
when everyone was gone there's one person in the shop
Big Ranch
I go some asshole
put a sticker on my truck
and now there's residue everywhere he goes
oh here's some gooby gone right here
and hands me the stuff to clean it up
bro that's also it was funny like you you were asking everybody who put these stickers on my truck
who put and you like ah you got your rags and your gooby gun i guess you call it and you went out there
and then you pulled up to the shop before the podcast and you still had one on there and i was like damn
i guess on the on the rear passenger it looked like yeah yeah you still had it on there and i'm
happy for big wrench if he if this can give him a little chuckle all right well let's not
tell him um unless he hears this podcast and i'm going to seek revenge
What do you think about doing?
I mean, I might just go with the classic lug nuts.
I like that one.
As in removing them?
Yeah.
Or you could always maybe cut out his catalytic converters.
And sell them for profit?
Yeah, exactly.
I could cash out and then just blame it on someone else.
You could replace, you could like build pistons out of stickers for his car and put those in.
You just put a piece of tape across the door when he walks in.
We should get him.
That'd be so funny.
Just a classic saran wrap across the doorway.
Oh, what the hell?
I'd rather saran wrap the toilet when he's headed in there than the doorway.
Ooh, that would be bad.
Can you imagine?
Oh, oh.
That's just mean on the cleaning.
Speaking.
Oh, no, it would not be, Ken.
No, it would not be.
What you did was mean on the cleaning lady.
In my defense, I didn't notice it when I flushed the toilet.
In my defense, that's what a toilet.
Well, that's four.
When I flushed it, I did not notice it looked like that when I came back.
When you caught hang time off the seat, you should have thought to look at what it just happened.
We'll call you a rocket man, buddy.
Bro, we got to fucking give our cleaning lady.
No, sorry, let me rephrase that.
You need to give our cleaning lady a Christmas present.
Okay, that bathroom has been way worse before.
No, it is not.
No, it is not.
That was one of the least were bad times.
That was not that bad
You're fucking delusional
Wait so I don't know if Ken still has seen it
You're delusional
What did it look like
Because I saw on Monday when I came back
What did it look like
It looked like the 4th of July
Happened in the toilet
There was a couple little brown specs
When I saw it
No
Little
No it looked like
You took a handful of mud
And threw it at a wall
It looked like that video
And we took the one dirt bike out
And everybody was covered in mud
That was the inside of the toilet pole
Dude, it was the most atrocious thing I've ever seen.
And the way it adhered itself to the porcelain, no amount of flushes would knock it off.
No.
So bad.
Glad you think it's funny because it's not cool.
It wasn't that bad when I left it.
Somebody else blew that thing out after that video.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Who here even has the technology to do that?
The capability.
It wasn't.
Okay.
When I left on Tuesday, was that Monday or Tuesday, I did that.
It had a full week to end here before she had to go in there with a chisel and safety glasses.
I was gone for almost a full week until I come back and you're like, oh my God, that toilet got blown out.
It was blown out the whole time.
I sent a snap in the group chat.
You guys saw the snap in the group chat.
Yep.
And I sent a snap of the toilet and I said, in all caps, Ken fucking Matthews, you are.
assaulted this toilet.
I must have...
All caps.
I must have clicked through that snap.
You watch any of our snaps?
Some of them might click through.
How do you know?
Some of them I click through.
What's going to get your attention enough to watch?
Well, when there's like a six-frame video snap of somebody chatting, I'm like, okay, we're just click, click, click, click, click.
And so when you see something with your name in it?
Ryan showing his camo pants for one time, one time we've been over this.
That was like 20 seconds.
Actually, he's not here, but I think judging by the comments, I think CJ lost in that.
I had to delete some.
There was one that said the F word that's bad that you actually can't say.
The bundle of sticks one?
Yes, exactly.
That one, but with a Y at the end, ass bitch wearing his car heart vest in his soft ass hands.
No one would think this mother effer is in the trades at all.
maybe someone's bitch apprentice it was something along those lines it was it was so bad i looked
at it went this one maybe has to go i didn't think you looked like a tradesman i thought he looked
like a like a granola earthy it's like the carhart work in progress oh so anyway oh i saved it
yeah i saved it are you ready we can't visually are you ready for the yeah sake of the people
oh god oh are you proud of yourself it looks like a
crime scene.
That is wild.
That shows how
hard on there that stuff is.
Yeah, that's my bad, boys.
High velocity.
You see why
we had a problem with it now,
yeah, that's my bad.
And do you see why we think that you owe
our cleaning lady Heather
a Christmas present?
Who is a saint?
Okay, what are your suggestions then?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe a Lamborghini
or like a virtual reality
headset a virtual reality headset so she can imagine she's somewhere else when she's cleaning up
your next mask or lamo yeah i didn't mean lambo seems a little steep out of the budget i guess
a 75 foot long cleaning pole some really really really really high-end cleaning utensil what about
a gas mask for when she has to go into your office don't bring that in this do you think they have like
like a golden toilet a golden wand i don't know i mean sponge
Bob had a golden spatula.
Yeah, like a golden toilet scrubber.
That would be pretty cool.
You have like a sheath of like cleaning supplies that are really high.
All just gold plated or solid gold.
Yeah.
Or solid gold would be heavy.
I think we're going with this.
Maybe Johnny Dang could ice one out.
Don't know who that is, but okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Give her an iced out, a toilet cleaner.
Just the most expensive one possible.
Maybe, maybe honestly, this one's probably going to be really, really hard for you.
but maybe just a thank you.
Text her right now.
Text her.
No,
but you have to be specific
what you're thinking her for.
Honestly,
don't.
I'm sure she's forgotten about it.
It's going to be like flashbacks.
No,
no,
don't say thank you.
Say,
I'm sorry.
I was going to say,
I wasn't going to say thank you.
I was just going to say,
sorry for blowing out that toilet.
I'm sorry for the spackle.
It seems like you're proud of it now.
It seems like one of those like,
I'm sorrys.
Yeah,
it seems like you're gaslighting.
Yeah.
Are you gas lighting it, Heather?
Okay, fine, I won't send anything if we're going to be, we're going to play this game.
I think you need to get your own brush.
I'll do it in person.
It means more when it's in person.
She actually, she quit.
She said she's not coming back to him.
Well, that's because of another incident she had on Monday.
I don't know.
Ken, I think you need to just take a little bit more accountability for your blowouts.
Maybe occasionally you could just take the edge off.
You don't got to fine tune it.
But maybe you go, shoot, maybe I'll just knock the edge off it.
I mean, it's insane, Ken.
Like, this is a criminal act.
I didn't even notice it.
I flushed that shit and walked away off.
What is your toilet look like at home?
Have you ever peered inside?
It's clean.
Evan, they had to move out of their home.
They had to move out.
It was that bad.
It's insane.
This is insane, Ken.
I'm just glad that you're taking accountability for your actions.
If Heather is listening, Heather, I am not.
She's not.
Okay, never mind.
She's not.
But what would you say to her?
What would you?
Heather, I am sorry.
I blew out that toilet and I did not clean it for you
ahead of time right away when it was still fresh
and would have been significantly easier to do.
Sorry.
What do you?
Would you chat GPT run out?
And thank you for making our shop a lot better than.
What are you trying to?
I think that is a doubt.
Thank you for helping people.
Keep our shop.
You won't do it again.
I'm not going to say I won't do it again.
No, just clean up after your mess.
But I will clean up after my mess.
Okay.
All right.
Great.
Wow.
It was great.
That was great.
It's a moment of growth.
I like it.
I mean, we found out who put adhesive stickers on Evan's door.
We found out who blew out the porcelain.
I can't believe you fucking did it.
That's actually crazy.
That is completely out of left field for him.
He has a big project he's working on.
He just
Get the fuck to work
Walks away from it
To stick her up my fucking truck
And then
Have the audacity
To help me try to clean it up
And not claim it
And not claim his actions
No it's pretty fucking hilarious
Yeah
It's funny
It's funny
Good thank you guys
You should call him right now
And just say
Hey I'm just sitting here
Don't say you're on the podcast
Hey I'm just sitting here
And I'm trying to figure out
Who would have
put that sticker on my truck.
Do you know?
Because I'm just trying to figure it out
and then just be like,
it's all good if you don't know.
Hello?
Do you know what kind of stickers
those were that ended up on my truck?
Uh-uh.
Well, you gave me the gooby-gun and the torch,
but the gooby-gun was flammable,
and now I melted my door handle.
So now, and it melted it into, like, with a lot,
I can't open my doors.
You can't open your doors because of what now?
This...
This is so dumb
So dumb
Who could have done it
The stickers
The
The damn wheel stickers
That I don't know
I think it was Dalton
Or whoever
They put those stickers on my door handles
and then I was trying to clean it off
You told me heat it up with the torch
And try to scrape it
Or to put the gooby gun on it
And then I put the goob
With the torch because it's hot
Well yeah
I didn't know goobie gun was flammable
It's oil
Yeah now my wrap is melted
My door handle doesn't work
Oh that's funny
Was it Dalton?
I have no idea
Because I'm going to loosen
His lug nuts up if it was him
Well, you should do that anyway.
Well, you came in and you got it off.
Well, I got it off the one side, and then I found out this son of a bitch put it on multiple doors.
So then I was, I just put a lot of gooby-gone on there, and I just hit it with a torch right away, trying to speed things up.
It says flammable right on that bottle.
I was irritated and didn't have time to read.
but you didn't see who took those stickers
I didn't see who put them on your truck
well I mean yeah I would love to know if you saw who put them on my truck
but I'm saying they were all the stickers were in the shop
in the work base so I thought maybe you saw who stole the stickers
no I gave the one to Ben
you gave so it was Ben
I thought it was I swore I gave him a big red one I'm like what do you want to do with
this and I was going to stick it.
I was pretending to stick it on the, on the side by side,
and he grabbed it from me through the garbage.
Okay, so I should look at Ben, though?
I don't know.
Well, if you were a betting man, who do you think I should suspect?
Boy, I would hate to throw anybody under the bus.
All right, well, I'll get to the bottom of this.
I just, I'd hate to be the guy that did it.
Boy, I wouldn't too.
I wouldn't want you mad at me.
Well, I would never be mad at you.
I know you would never do that.
I know you'd never cause me to burn half of my wrap off my truck,
wreck a door handle right before Christmas.
I have presents to buy in a family.
Yeah, that would stink.
I would have read the label first.
So you're telling me,
it's not the sticker applicator's fault?
It's the goobiegon guy's fault.
Well, did you not look at the goobigone?
Like, that stuff is happening.
Well, I looked at it.
It was running down my door.
Things are oily.
It's mess.
It's not good.
All right, well, we'll figure it out.
All right.
We'll tag you later.
Yep, I'll let you know.
What the hell was that?
Bro, big wrench.
Big wrench.
Can't take a count of a baby?
Bro, I had like 30 seconds
where I could not.
You lost it right away.
Whoa.
What was on it?
It goes silent.
We're all crying, laughing.
And he goes, you there?
Well, you guys don't help
I thought it was pretty funny
I was having a hard time
And then I look at Ben
And he's laughing pretty hard
And that's not easy to hold the laugh
In when your buddy's laughing
Dude that was funny bro
Big Ranch is taking that one to the crave
I love that he goes
Hello
He was so confused
As to why you would call him
Oh wow
That was good last prank at 2020
Yeah that was hilarious
But man big wrench can
Keep a secret huh
I guess so.
He hasn't crack under pressure at all.
Hey, and he's kind of, uh, um, what's the word I'm looking for?
Is that gaslighting where he accused of being my fault?
Yes.
You just got gas lit.
Manipulative.
Dude, I love that.
Yeah, you're just like, yeah, it's going bad.
I'm jammed up.
Burnt the door handle.
And he goes, well, that stuff's flammable.
It should have known.
It's actually not flammable.
That's what I thought.
Because I did hit it with the torch after I put it on there.
It's just slowly coming up.
It's just slowly coming up.
No, you know what it would make it work
If it was a flat surface
So the Gooby Gun could sit on it
But because it's vertical
It runs off
So you just have to keep spraying it over and over and over
Yep, yep
It'll be okay
You kept saying Gooby Gone
And then he started saying
Well, you should have read the label
On the Gooby Gone
Yeah, so I'm probably going to loosen his lug next
Dude, big wrench
That guy's a steel trap
That guy was not cracking under pressure
Not letting that secret out
All the pranks you're working on
You'll be able to tell him
Maybe I should drive to his house tonight
And put one of those stickers on his door handle
That'd be pretty funny
After this after this
I just
There's one left
There's more in the trash
Three times four, 12
Each one had all four colors
Holy
There's a lot
Lined his truck up
No I can't because I know how bad it is to get up
Yeah
Just the like I'd
feel bad if his door handles are paint
match, which I don't know. Mine are just like
the black. Just put it on the window so you can
at least like razor it off. Well, that's why I was
thankful. He put one on the driver's
window right where I'd look, but
he peeled the top of the
stick. Look at that. He's thankful, Big Redmond.
He peeled it. You should call him and thank him.
He peeled the top off the sticker
so it was like just the protective
over the logo so it wasn't sticky.

This was before your time, but as a prank one day, when Ken was working his old appliance job, we went to his parking lot where his car was parked in the employee parking.
The Escort?
It's Focus, R.S.
And we-
Sorry, escort-focused.
And we covered the entire thing in Post-it notes.
Yeah.
So we put colored post-it notes.
we put colored posted notes all over the entire car like rough number top to bottom i don't know
full whole car the whole car top to bottom right it was a pretty big expense at the time and
then we sat there and waited for him to come out and get his reaction like like you know
shooting it like secretively from another car so he didn't know we're there so he comes out he sees
it doesn't give any reaction and then we see him pull his phone out of his pocket and he texts us
and goes, you guys have 20 minutes to get this shit off my car.
Otherwise, you'll pay or something like that when he always gives his open-ended threats.
And then we sat there, I think we sat there for a while.
And pretty soon he started pulling them off.
And then we watched them pull all of them off.
And then he went to the car wash.
And then he texted us and saying that the post-it notes left behind like a colored residue.
It did leave behind some colored a little bit.
And that he was going to, like, sue us for the damages.
Oh, I did not say that.
Didn't say sue.
He said screw.
And then he was threatening us for the damages of the post-it notes.
And I think we just said, go through the car wash again.
And then he did it.
And then they went away.
How much was that pallet of duct tape we got when we did the duct tape tires?
A lot.
Four grand?
That is a lot to give revenge on big.
Grinch, but man, it would be funny to wrap
his truck up like a cocoon.
That would probably ruin the pay.
No, I think we got a deal on that.
We got, there's only like...
No, you do the first...
No, we bought it from you line.
You do the first layer backwards,
so the sticky never goes to it.
And then he'd come out and look at it
and think it was...
The truck being a cocoon, hilarious,
but just that first layer of it...
No, you do it backwards.
Yeah.
Well, then you could just, uh, like,
you'd cover it in that really thing...
Yeah, probably right before Christmas.
Yeah, covered in the really thin painters, uh,
drapery.
the thin plastic and then and then just make a giant ball out of it
gosh it'd be hilarious but you could put a car cover over it yeah as long as you cover
everything you never know but you could almost tape things in but that'd be so funny if you
taped like his tools his whole fucking toolbox go into his toolbox so he can't just
throw the tape way his 10 mil socket might be in there and then we tape and then we put duct tape
over every square inch of his shop Gavin's in the background shaking his head because
he has to use the same tools well not at our shop we
go to his.
Oh, his personal shop.
Yeah, we go to his personal shop and do this.
We take his athlete snowmobile.
Wrap that sucker up too.
Yeah, this is what happens,
Big Ranch, when you put a sticker on his car.
Yeah, $4,000.
That's just for enough duct tape to cover those tires.
No, that was enough.
You could cover a whole building with that much duct tape.
Oh, I mean, those tires were like probably five inches thick.
Yeah, when you were sick.
What if you, like, put something in between them?
Like, if you put a bunch of, like,
foam pieces and stuff you could make a giant giant ball out of his truck i think it would be perfect
if it looked just like a truck but fully duct tape well don't give away all your secrets now we have to
act fast on this yeah we have till uh we've got four days christmas day even if he knows about the
idea it's still going to be incredibly inconvenient you know like it doesn't matter if it's a
surprise or not it's one of those ideas where it's like either way i think maybe to make it even better
give him a really dumb task to do extremely early in the morning just to like get his truck
there make it even more you know so he's a little like on edge inconvenienced and then he finds
out his truck is duct taped like come pick up the sprinter van at 3 30 a.m and drive to
Minneapolis airport like that's what I'm saying let's wreck his day
dude this guy is pissed off right now with one measly little sticker on his door hand
let's fuck him up three stickers
You're right, you're right.
No, and for the record, I'm not been mad this entire time.
I just assumed it was someone that was sitting on this podcast,
which is why I brought it up.
Yeah, someone went a little more of a reputation, you know.
Yeah, but I'm stoked it was big wrench.
Like, if it was Gavin wrench, I'd be pissed.
Because you'd have to box him.
You'd have to box him.
What about you and Dalton getting in a boxing match?
I don't want to hurt those.
little fella.
You think so?
I don't know.
He's got the reach on you, but you definitely got like the ball.
He's got reach, but when he gets caught with a compact uppercut to the chin, that might change his life.
Compat.
He's definitely like a lot.
He's very quick, too, on his feet.
Plus, I don't know.
He's kind of gangly.
I could tip him over.
Yeah.
You get hit with a compact.
What depends, are we box?
Yeah, I guess if we're boxing, you can't go to the ground, but yeah.
Scrappy little basket, that's what you are, Evan.
As much as maybe I'll love to see that.
I hope you guys don't box each other.
But I do, I would love to see, whether, even, you know, if it's not on camera,
but if I'm out there on the track and I got to stop watching my phone,
I love for you two to run a race.
Well, yeah, that's, that's, yeah.
Yeah.
I would love to see you to.
I just don't want him to hurt himself.
I would love to see you to run a lap around the track.
You guys have been talking big.
On feet?
No, just on bikes
I mean what Mike just said
I can't agree
I swear you don't listen
Sorry I wasn't paying attention
I zoned out for a second
It's all good
We're filming a podcast
There you go lock in
Okay 2026 is the year of you
The TV was a little distracting for me back there
It's a picture of fucking earth
Oh my gosh
You gotta draw the line
In the sand somewhere
And I don't think that
I am going to let two of my friends box again.
No one got hurt, but it's just like...
That's kind of what I was getting at.
Like, I'm no pacifist, but I don't really like seeing my friend's box.
I don't really like boxing my friends.
Yeah, Gab just said he doesn't really like boxing his friends.
But boy, is it entertaining.
It was entertaining.
It was like looking back at the year, it was probably top five in it.
I think quad bit was top five.
Really, you think you're putting me top five?
Absolutely, yeah.
I don't know.
I just thought it was hilarious.
Okay. I like that. A lot of people
hated it. Alondra was like, she actually
genuinely asked me, she's like, are you doing
like okay after this? Like there's a lot of hate comments.
And I was like, is there a lot of hate comments?
I thought people thought I was sick.
Dude, there are so many
people that said this was the worst bit you've ever filmed
and so many people that said this was the greatest bit
you've ever filmed, which is great
because it got an emotion out of everyone.
That's how you're a true artist.
So the thing about the boxing bit
is everything happened so fast in that.
It was like, it was like 36 hours.
And we know Ken has a hard time paying attention.
No, it was like 36 hours from idea to them in a ring.
He's zoned out for a little bit.
And then before he knew it was over.
Maybe that's what it is.
Obviously, we do our best to plan.
But I would say the boxing bit and the quad bit.
Yeah, you got to strike real.
It's hot.
It happened really fast.
My favorite is reading the TikTok comments, Ryan.
Like anything that involves you, you just like get a pass, whether it's bad or good or cool or
not cool or funny or unfunny, everyone's just like,
that's quad.
That's what Quad would do.
That's what Quad does.
He gets a pass now for everything.
It's really not four wheels down.
It's sidewise.
No, I don't like the fours side.
You don't like it sideways?
No, I love it sideways,
but I don't really like saying four wheels down.
I don't know who.
Yeah, who quite's funny.
Who quad four wheels down?
I just, it doesn't, like, I love quad throwing up fours,
but four wheels down.
If you're in a pickle.
Yeah, four wheels down.
You know, Ryan, he doesn't get off the ground.
Four wheels down.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Because I was like,
four wheels down means you never wheelie,
but I wasn't thinking about jumping.
What's probably one of your other favorite bits of the year?
If you had to pick being that after this,
we're going to have the next podcast is the best of podcast.
And actually,
I think it's one of my favorites of the year because it's just gold.
It's just gold throughout the year.
But what would you say is one of your best video moments of the year?
Oh, dude, I don't remember what we did last week.
Dead ass.
What did we do last week?
Oh, best video of the year?
Are you asking?
Gavin Three Wheeler off against Dr. David.
Best video of the year.
That was my favorite video of the year.
I feel like, Ken, you got to think of a different one.
We all got to think of a different one.
We can all agree.
I agree.
That was top tier.
Putting Cheetos in the minivan, I had a fantastic time.
You are one sick, sick fella.
I will say that probably the cheap car challenge was one of my favorite.
Part one or part two?
Just like the setup.
Part two, part two was.
I think our best video of the year as far as like ideas, execution, and delivery.
And that video got flagged for something.
No, no, no, no, no, that one didn't.
Yeah, it's almost got 5 million views.
That one's crazy.
The other one's got 7 million views is part one.
It was motorcycle.
The motorcycle part two.
And the motorcycle part two is better than part one.
Did it say what it got flagged for?
Do we remember?
Yeah, it was a wheelie.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But, oh, man, the Gavin three wheeler off.
with Dr. David.
That was pretty damn good.
You cannot make that up,
him crashing that three-wheeler going out
the loading ramp.
I also think is one of the fan favorite videos
of the,
or moments of the year,
just off of like what I see on TikTok
and just comments is me driving the school bus
with Ken in the backseat.
Oh, yeah.
And Ken getting thrown up in the backseat,
like, pro.
Because that moment,
watching that footage back of that
is like, is this real?
I don't know these guys are always,
finding themselves in crazy situations
but seeing you bounce on those seats
and against the roof like you were a tiny little
doll. That hurt
incredibly bad. I was
jammed up for probably two weeks.
I don't think anyone
questions that can't. You got ragdolled, bro.
I was just glad that you're okay.
Best build of the year. Oh, houseboat.
Or the Harley Davidson
four-wheeler. I was going to say it can.
Harley-Davidson four-wheeler quality.
houseboat as far as everyone was involved
and like from idea to execution
to the video
as a whole. And it also turned out
10 times better than any of us thought.
Best build in my opinion?
4-7 Magnum.
I thought you were going to say the LS Miata.
The LS Miata was a great build.
Okay, that's actually the best build
except for it has fucking cray paper ball joints.
What was your favorite, Mike?
dude i i always go back to like the cheap car challenge that was super fun and then like i don't know underrated
for me was still like when we built the half pipe in the back the two ideas that i think were my
favorite but they didn't work actually happened in the last month breaking into the armored truck
i think on paper is a fucking genius idea i just don't think it went as well as we'd hoped and the
cheap versus expensive megacquod those were like i think those were so good on paper
Marmore Truck was like such a crazy situation of him just hitting the door and it's just popping open.
Dude, so a lot of people actually really don't like that video because they thought that it was scripted and fake.
Yeah.
Which pisses me off because Gavin is so entertaining and he's so extravagant that people think that it's fake.
And that's just how he is.
That is how he is.
And it's not scripted.
It's not, none of it is fake.
it just comes off so unbelievable because nobody knows a human like Gavin to be that
that extravagant that insane yeah and uh and they didn't like that video because it was like all
kind of centered around Gavin doing this this feat of breaking into the armored vehicle and
I don't know people just didn't like it but you just don't know Gavin and that's why you think
that it's like set up but like that's just how he is when the cameras are on or the cameras
are off. It was kind of insane.
Like, we expected it to take him
so much longer to
actually, like, break into that thing where we had to
like stall him. But we thought it would be
quicker for him with the fucking shovel.
Yeah.
But, like, actually getting into that armored truck, we're like,
oh, it's going to take him all afternoon.
Then the taking this thing out of the
Sandhills, it's going to take him 10 minutes.
And it was just complete opposite.
So you know what's tough is, like, scrolling through
all of the
past videos of this year.
I see the title and thumbnails, but...
I was just about to say the same thing.
I never remember the second part of the video
and a lot of times third part of the video
because we do so much shit.
And those are my favorite bits.
I know, always.
And those are like the fans' favorite bits as well.
Moments like that are just harder to title and thumbnail around.
So as far as like when we're trying to make videos
that are going to get, you know,
as many people watching and most clicks, right?
But that's something that we're trying to integrate into the videos.
like for 2026 is having more like B type ideas be more title and thumbnails and like a good
example of that would be money Mike's junk tank we did that two years ago it was just a back end bit
people loved it and we're like oh this is something that we could probably do again and do bigger
and make more of a thing and then hopefully title and thumbnail around it and we did CBOC CB
junk tank nobody knows what junk tank is besides for the people that watched it the year before
and it's like one of our biggest videos in the last month.
So it's like it clearly works.
And it's something that we want to like build out more and more.
Because like the builds and those types of videos are always super easy to title and thumbnail around.
Whereas like the abstract ideas that we have of like that are more personality based,
like letting Ryan live out his lifelong dream of becoming a singer.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's hard to tie it on thumbnail around.
Next time, if we do something around,
it like quad quad's back or something it's a return of quad the return of quad the viral
thought i was so off the look i mean i i didn't i didn't know who's gonna take so quad's uh quad's coming
back in twenty twenty six dude quad in vegas oh it's gonna go insane it's gonna go insane
quad's full album is coming out 2026 so so that's something that's actually looking
forward to quad's fourth reunion because that's gonna be something a big one you don't want to miss
yeah yeah we're ways out but you know
know like the channel has evolved over the last eight years nine years almost 10 and now i think
it's to a point where no matter what we do people are going to watch so it's like kind of gives us
more creative freedom in which i'm excited about to to be able to lean more into in 2026 right and
the fact that all of our videos i'd say almost all of our videos like they have that bonus pay like
all of our videos are titled and thumbnail around one thing and they always come with
one, two, three extra things.
I mean, that's just the beauty of it.
And then we can test stuff and then it works and then move into title and
thumb-delling around it.
Yeah, we got some great ideas already.
The board's already full.
Yeah.
As far as ideas go for next year.
So I'm excited.
But yeah, we gained a million subscribers on the main channel.
500 million views, which is insane.
It was pretty wild.
Yeah.
Thank you to you guys.
Yeah, that's...
Especially I do.
I love hearing when people say, like,
like oh i watch the podcast because i know like you those people are really and now that's the thing too
like for the podcast listeners a lot of times we're like talking about you know what we're doing
in like the next video or things like that where some people wouldn't want to but i think it's like
kind of a cool like exclusive look into it of like i know these people clearly fuck with us
and they're going to watch the videos or listen to the pod no matter what it's cool to like incorporate
guys into our lives before the video goes on i promise we won't spoil the video like the video
still be good we just we just give you like an inside look onto it and a lot of times when we talk
about something that's coming up we it's because we can't help it yeah we're excited what was your
favorite i'm pretty sure this was after the new year but the old truck bit where i ended up
where me and ken had a car accident so it's like it's one of those and you slid into the chicken coop
And I hit the chicken coop.
It's one of those.
You also hit me.
We really add just, it's just a very simple formula.
Yep.
Get in some four-wheel drive vehicles.
Go have a day.
No rules.
It's my favorite to participate in.
And then, yeah, I just think it's a good time.
We got some ideas of that nature coming up next year that are going to be good.
Those are always my favorite.
Like, any time we just get two to four of the same or similar.
type machine it could be a dirt bike or a car or a truck snowmobile and then we just like go get after it
it's a foolproof idea because as soon as there's like three of us in different vehicles or on
different vehicles it just gets rowdy and it gets chaotic and that's when like the magic happens
it's hard to capture which is a lot of times why we we like refrain from just like letting all
hell break loose but i think we're at a point now where like we've gotten so much better
at just capturing the chaos
because we've been doing it for 10 years
where now we can kind of like
go back to the old ways
of just like constant mayhem
and being chaotic.
And I like how it kind of brings out like the one up
like if someone has a nice truck
and a shitty truck it's harder because you're like
oh the guy in the nice truck whatever
when everyone's playing with the same stuff
you're like bring some competitiveness.
Exactly.
That is just a good point.
Level the playing field bring out the competitiveness.
Yeah.
That was a good one, though.
Ken?
Ken?
I said the Cheeto bit when we...
That was good.
You just like the part that you put a bunch of weeners in there.
It was actually a decent amount of work because we had to stop.
We stopped by a Walmart.
We picked up all the hot...
Like we did, our car had broken down, so we just steal the toll rig.
Wow.
And it was just...
It was a decent amount of work to try and, like, set that up and then get up early in the morning
and then I intercept C.J.
A lot of work.
You had to push the cart from Walmart to the car.
I had to go to Walmart
And I had to drive our
It was like 223-A-T-4 truck
Because our other car broke down
Sorry, Kenny, I'm sorry
It was a little bit of set up, so
Hey, speak it, just because we've talked about
The car tour a few times
Do you still think that I was being malicious
When I threw that rock through the window?
No, now that I review the footage
I freaked out a little too much
I love you, I'm sorry about that
I did not expect
What a miracle!
Did you see the connection that they just had?
Play it back.
I love you, Ken.
I'm sorry about that.
I did not expect that.
That was the worst hug I've ever seen in my life.
I would never try to hurt you intentionally, Ken.
It's because he's not hugging back, actually.
Well, that one I did.
The first one, I was confused.
I didn't know where we were going here.
The second one, you didn't.
I went like this.
Wow.
How many did you talk to be hugged?
That's three. Now you're just trying to get four.
A Christmas miracle.
What was yours right?
Quad.
I don't think quad.
was my favorite, to be honest
with you. I think the house ball
was the viewer's favorite though.
I really loved.
Do we need to run the houseboat back just so I
can be not sick? Yeah.
For that. Because I think I would have
absolutely fucking hated filming
it, but God was rednecks with
paychecks. Oh, yeah. That was a, that
the final product of it was great. But it
was a challenge. In the mix.
There was a challenge. I would love to go to rednecks
with paychecks. I would love to go to
rednecks with paychecks just for the
experience just to find out what's going on i wasn't planning to but i went sober for rednecks
with paychecks because i i had to deal with you well i had to double down for you yeah can he
dick it twice as drunk as he normally would i didn't start drinking until we got back to the airport
on the flight home dude shred 80 doing that hill on in the barbie jeep going going down the hill
in the barbie jeep takes a cake for gnarly as shit i've seen all year no dude i i i don't
I've seen the footage, obviously, I missed it there.
I think him bucking up to the rainbow rail multiple times.
That hill's gnarly, but that rainbow rail is really gnarly.
But the rainbow rail at least had a chance of success.
I think it did.
I think he could have done it.
You're right.
Both times, I think he could have done it on the first one,
but he wasn't going fast enough.
And he said that multiple times.
He's like, I could have made it, but I pushed out and I let off the throttle right away.
That Barbie Jeep hill is insanely steep.
You are crashing no matter what.
I was on the side of the hill just trying to film it
and I was falling down the thing.
And by no means am I taking anything away from Barbie Jeep Hill.
I'm trying to put emphasis on how gnarly that rainbow rail actually is.
Or Spenny just 50-50.
I agree.
That is heavy.
I think if you put, let's say, 25 people went down the Barbie Jeep hill,
if you put 25 people on a three-wheeler and they had to do the rainbow.
Rail, more people would have gotten hurt there than they would have on the Barbie Jeep Hill.
It's true.
All right.
I'm curious what Shred 80 thinks was the gnarliest stunt.
Was the gnarliest stunt of the year?
Hey.
Oh, nice.
I'll get Spani in here.
Let me faceTime Spenny.
What do you think is the gnarliest thing that you did this year on, on Seaboy's vids?
Hitting the rail for the second time, hands down.
That's what I was saying.
Oh, Gab, do you feel that the Rainbow Rail is a more nars?
challenge than Barbie Jeep at Rednecks with paychecks.
10 out of 10.
I agreed.
That's what I said.
Everyone else said the Barbie Jeep was more gnarly.
I said Rainbow Rail.
The rainbow rail you can actually die on.
You're not going to die during the Barbie Jeep.
You might get really hurt, but you can actually die on the rainbow rail.
I agree with you, Gav.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know, dude.
I thought the Barbie Jeep Hill was gnarly.
That was also a really bad one.
And then what was your favorite video?
Ooh, favorite video that we sold?
Cheap car challenge.
You didn't enjoy Dr. David?
No, I mean, of course.
Oh, I love Dr. David, too.
I said that was my favorite video of the year, the Dr. David video.
That was just a big ass beating for me on that one, though.
You took a pounding in that one.
Spenny, what was yours, Spenny?
You can't say wine night.
Probably the three-stack tire.
The three-stack tire was gnarly.
Dude, that was so slept on of how gnarly that was.
What's that called, Spend?
Probably the three-stack tire.
Three-stack splatter, tire splatter.
Yeah, that was, that was gnarly.
Okay, and then favorite vid?
Mike's batch, for sure.
Ooh, that was a good one.
He's just missing a big jake.
Mike's batch and wedding combo.
Oh, yeah, that was fun.
The homie.
See, there's so many little bits you just forget about it.
I mean, the cheap cart challenge was really, really fun,
but Mike's batch was, like, insane.
Man, wasn't it me and you that were riding around
on the stand-up jet skis?
And it was at night, and we were just like,
there's no way God isn't real.
This is too crazy.
It was a euphoric moment.
It was literally both of us, like, together,
we were like, this isn't real.
Yeah.
Bro, it was just the craziest, like,
glassy sunset rip.
Like, it just looked like it was out of a movie.
Yeah, that was insane.
That was a moment.
That was.
Mike's batch was, like, a really good time.
Dude, I tell people, they ask how it was, and I said I peaked
because it was, like, the most fun I've ever had.
You know, Ryan, you're going to have a tough time peaking for Ben and CJ's bachelor's
bachelor's.
I haven't been enlisted to do that yet.
But if they need me, if they need me, I'm here.
You're just the bachelor party guy now, though.
I don't get the pleasure of being a best man, but I do get to play at the bachelor
party.
Penny, I thought maybe you were going to say riding mopeds in Florida.
That was a good time to
That was fun too
Dude there's so many things
That I
Oh right next with paychecks man
I read next to paycheck's for sure almost
That was on mine too
And I said least favorite to film
But probably my favorite to look back on
What was your favorite moment
From rednecks with Paychecks Gav
On camera or off camera
And it could involve our film
From many feet up there
From the top of Riches
On another dude's razor
Oh, watching Evan jump?
Yes.
That was crazy.
I forgot about that way.
You didn't know I could eat a fall like that, did you?
That was perfect,
Dunkin'roll off the very top of a razor.
Perfect.
Dude, and then...
From the expert.
And then me and Shred
stopped this guy from beating Evan's ass.
He probably could have held his own, though, so...
He couldn't have...
He couldn't hold a single sentence together.
I couldn't have held another beer, not myself.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, that was a good year, boys.
I mean, honestly, there was too many good moments filming even.
Gab, I figured you'd bring up that time
where you were on the track with your three-wheeler,
and Dalton and Spenny were ripping.
That was Gab's most terrified, most terrified moment of the season.
He has nightmares thinking about that.
I don't think I've...
Ever been that that was that's my maddest moment of the whole year
That was definitely
Were you more mad in the
Were you more mad than in that moment than you were
When we were making you dig
Oh dude you should have seen me light up Dalton that day
I was so fucking mad at yeah
Nothing that compares
Were you more mad about that moment
Or when you were getting chased around
On the track
Off camera
You'd be pissed after you, Ken?
What moment are you talking about?
I didn't hear you.
Ken, are you on the same planet as us?
How high are you right now, Ken?
I didn't, I didn't hear it.
Have you been into CJ's CBD?
I'd have a CBD massage, so.
Why are you always bringing about these CBD massages?
What do they do?
It felt great.
All right, boys.
Well, I just wanted to call on and get your guys'
your thoughts on the year.
You're a big part of the channel's success.
and look forward to next year.
I appreciate you, big time.
Love you, boys.
Oh, absolutely.
Get Spenny's a little Canadian ass down here.
Yep.
Evan just fucking licked his lips thinking about it, dude.
That was Ken.
That was Ken.
Why do you think he's working so hard on the visa?
Need some fresh meat.
Yeah.
Dalton, what was...
Later, boys.
What was your favorite video?
to make.
And it better not be the cake
in my face.
Probably a cheap car challenge.
Yeah.
That was so good.
That was fun.
You guys were absolutely
vibing in that van.
Dude,
we should shave our heads again.
I've literally,
like,
yeah,
I've never just felt more like
free than that
than that trip.
Like we were,
yeah,
shaving our heads and just like,
we were riding
skateboards in random places.
That was cool.
It was so much fun.
And it's just like,
it was good to get out.
And we all loved it
and everyone loved it.
It was good to get out.
And then to get out.
Yeah, Mike.
You get so cooped up, you know.
Get out of small town corn round every once in a while.
And then what was your favorite video or video bit to watch?
Real vs. Fay Kunicorn?
That put me in the dark.
Budge.
I don't know.
I love them all so much.
It's honestly.
Fair enough.
No, no.
Lame answer.
Not fair enough.
Yeah, it's not that deep.
Just pick something.
We all had the same thought.
We're just using it to like resurface.
I don't know.
bro insane all right
i don't know i like i legitimately cannot pick one i do respect that you're like oh they
were all good yep as long as you aren't lying
all right gab gav stroll over there i got to ask you two questions
put your wrenches away yes sir i can ask me more than two if you'd like all right
gav what was your favorite build favorite build yeah don't say wooden dirt bikes that thing
broke that thing was awesome the chain tensioner broke immediately
It was stout afterwards.
Favorite build in terms of how dialed it was was the Stark 3 wheeler.
I agree.
That thing was good.
I thought the same thing about the Stark snow bike.
I thought that thing worked really well too.
Yeah, it sure did.
Narliest thing I did?
That's easy.
Box one of my best friends.
And what was your favorite video to watch?
The White Monster Bit.
Yeah, that was special.
I may have shed a tear.
Really?
Did you cry watching it?
I mean, just like one tier.
Ben uses that on his, he's like, I make videos that people, they cry in, they laugh.
He shed the tear because while he was watching, he had that pile of cash on his lap.
I'm so rich.
Sitting on the couch like Scrooge McDuckus bathing in it.
Making it rain over and over again.
I lied.
I actually do have one that trumps all of the other videos.
My favorite one to watch.
Remember when Little Pilot couldn't find a three widow?
Oh, there it is.
So his favorite was the armored truck.
No.
First pirate or second pirate.
When did we do Humboldled Abode?
It was armored truck.
I just remember when the first whittled pirate got born.
We need to release the footage that was never seen that I filmed from inside the cab of the truck when Dalton was giving shreds instructions on how to do rollers.
And the armored truck is running terrible.
Gavin's to the floor and the things backfiring and whatever
And Dalton's getting visibly agitated
Waging him on and Gavin is screaming
I was screaming at me I know
I saw what was happening because it's what you do to me every time
We do rollers but it was way funer watching you do it to somebody else
Yeah I don't know I think we just like didn't get that footage
Like I saw I haven't seen it
It's on my phone I know I haven't seen it on your phone
You handed me your phone to watch it now pop it up
So this is some never bowl
forcing footage of gavis driving the armored truck
don't don't don't tell you to go faster
yeah oh yeah come on what i do like it
yeah it's just old man oh there you go
what are you fucking about
and you go on full throttle
Well, now, come back here.
No, you come back here.
I can't.
It was having so much fun, but he's so frustrated.
Really?
Really?
Said they sold it to Buddy for a thousand.
No.
And what do we pay?
4,500.
Oh, that's all right.
And you know what, and you what buddy said?
That thing never ran worth of piss.
The guy I bought it from goes, this thing ran mint.
He also was like ghosting me when you were like on your way over there.
And then he was like, sorry, I was just doing my phone.
So, okay, he freaked out a little less than I thought he did.
But he was getting fairly frazzled by don't.
He got into it.
Ken, do you have any favorite Christmas sweets?
Oh, you look like a jesus.
Sweets.
Topi.
The peppermint.
Evan, I know you don't have any Christmas sweets.
You eat all of them.
Catch me at the bowl of egg.
You ask Ken if he has any favorite sweets,
and you ask Evan if he has any sweets and then says he doesn't because he ate them all.
I'm not a sweets guy.
They've been a sweets guy.
Sidney and I just made those almond bark covered pretzels.
Dude, those are ass.
I'm sorry.
pretzels suck.
None taken.
Do people like pretzels?
That's bullshit.
First off, Dr. David brought us some of the best pretzels I've had.
Those are good pretzels.
Also, once the...
You just said pretzels were asses.
You know, I got to say the Alamark pretzels, those are probably top five.
Man, you know who I wish was here?
CJ just slopping on a bag of nuts right now.
That boy loves nuts.
He would have gone through probably two bags.
Yeah, I mean, it's just a long podcast.
He definitely would have broke back out the nuts to finish off the bag.
He would have been concerned to see Ben,
eating his jerky.
Yes, he would have been.
Yeah, so we actually have this theory that we've been talking about around the shop lately.
So every two weeks, CJ gets a subscription of a bag of jerky that has like, well, six bag.
Basically six bags of jerky, right?
And it shows up in this, this bag, right?
Via Amazon or via.
And it's still to be determined whether it's via or via via.
We haven't figured that out
But it's sent to C.J. Lotzer
Every two weeks
Thinking that it's something else
He orders, he'll rip it open
And they'll be like, more fucking jerky
Every single time.
Like it's every two weeks.
Like it's gotten to the point where it's just entertainment for us.
So I'm like, hey, CJ just got his bag of jerky.
You guys want to get together so we can watch him open it
thinking it's something else and then finding out it's more jerky.
I think what he did was is he signed up for a
free subscription, but it has like reoccurring billing.
Yeah.
No.
So CJ every single week goes more fucking jerky.
And then it's always disappointed thinking that it's like something else.
He always eats it.
Like his office is full of beef jerky.
I guarantee what he did.
He bought it on Amazon one time.
Accidentally clicked subscribe and save.
Just defaults every two weeks, which is most common.
And that was just on his plan.
That's what he did.
But he refuses that that's the case.
It actually is.
It's really tough to figure out what you have on subscribe and save.
Like, find it on Amazon.
How expensive do you think that is?
Less than $50.
How much a month?
It's a pretty good.
What if we all got subscriptions to it?
But got them sent here in CJ's name.
That would be pretty.
But we got to somehow alternate them out.
We already have more beef jerky than we can eat.
Dude, it'd be just, even if we just ran it for like two months.
Another bundle of jerky.
Yeah.
Every two days.
I love that idea.
But you see, the real kicker here is he's convinced that it's a PR package.
He's convinced that it's the company sending him the PR.
Yeah.
But I'm not ruling that out, but that's what I thought maybe it was.
They mean, they could be persistent.
Like, you really want BD CJ to try out of it.
This is exactly what CJ did.
Subscribe and save and save 10%.
That's exactly what he did.
How much does that cost per month?
33 bucks.
33 bucks, no, 33 bucks a pop.
So every two weeks.
Every two weeks.
So CJ's spending 66 bucks a month on beef turkey that he doesn't.
Ken, can you sign us all up for a couple months subscription?
I think we do this for the next two, three months.
Oh, my.
It's still up in the air.
I'm not.
You maybe think they're sending it to us?
Because I know initially they did.
We probably earned a couple more fucking months with the deal right here.
And for the record, he kills a lot of meat jerky.
It's a really good beef jerky.
It is great beef jerky.
So beef cake.
It's started by a YouTuber.
His name's Flair.
It's great beef jerky.
And initially, we got it sent to us because Flair's our boy.
And now C.J. is swimming in beef jerky.
Like, he has like a hundred bags in his office.
That's what I could grab out of the drawer.
Every time I walk in there and he's editing, he's eating it.
I sneak a bag here and there.
Well, no, I was going to say.
Yeah, I do too.
Every time I walk in there, I'll grab a bag.
Because I'm like, he's never going to notice this is gone.
He's nice about it.
I've never seen him be stingy on it at all, obviously, because he has so much.
He is stingy on his nuts.
He is stingy on his nuts.
Because he's a germopold.
That's why he doesn't want your hands in it.
Can we bring up the topic that he has his own fridge in the kitchen?
She does.
I've had to explain that to guests that come over, be like, just don't touch anything in that fridge.
Like, oh, what?
Like, it's just CJs.
Just don't go in there.
It's kind of funny that CJ's fridge in the kitchen
That it's not just in his office
That fridge just should be in his office
I never thought about it like that Evan
You got a couple people
You're shooting pool
It's right next to the pool table
And you're like oh yeah yeah
That fridge free game
That fridge opposite of free game
They're like good I didn't want
All it is Vita cocoa water
Cibbutia
Is that his fridge?
Yeah it's only his shit in it
For the last few months
I will admit
Whenever I want something to not disappear right away
I piggyback on that.
I put it in CJ's fridge.
That's my go-to fridge to grab water out.
I put the waters in there because I always know.
Well, now you figured it out.
Waters are fair.
Waters are always fair,
but I put the waters in CJ's fridge
because they go a lot slower.
I always know I have a cold one of the fridge.
I'll grab the label maker.
There's always like the weird condiments
and like the weird snacks in that fridge.
That Jen specifically buys for CJ.
They're in your fit.
He's on this, he's on a specific diet.
So that's why, that's why he has this fridge.
No eating on the podcast.
I'm done a hardline here.
I'm serious, Ken.
I've never put two and two together that it was his fridge, but it is only full of his shit.
And might I add, it took a crazy turn because that was actually the Tony fridge that we used to drink out of.
And then one day, it's all health food and no booze.
I'm like, I don't get what happened here.
but I'm staying the hell away from it.
Evan avoids that fridge like the plague, dude.
He'll walk around the pool table the other way so he doesn't get close to it.
Well, it was because of CJ having his own fridge.
I went and bought my own fridge as well.
Oh, yeah, he's got his own fridge.
Except I keep mine in the room, at least.
Imagine how rattled he'd be if he showed up tomorrow in that fridge was in his office.
I was just going to say, we should just fill it back full of beer again like it used to be,
Just full of Coor's lights.
Anyone know where my nuts went?
You send us a text in the group chat.
What's your New Year's resolution, Ben?
Ooh, I'm actually trying to be more...
The skateboard?
Yeah, I will.
I will.
I'll drop in on a skateboard,
and I want to learn how to kick flip.
Oh, my.
Drop in will have to very quickly.
Your New Year's resolutions can't be about skating.
Sort of crazy, but also so accomplishable,
you could do it in, like, no time.
I, like, like a day.
The drop-in is a day that the kick-flips were looking at like six months.
The drop-ins more risk for injury, but easier.
Oh, I could drop in within five tries.
I think you could, too.
I'm just saying there's a chance.
I might eat shit the first four.
The kick-flip might take you 100 or a thousand tries, but like there's not much risk for injury.
Dude, I'm bad at skateboarding.
Yeah, but I think you got it, though.
Either way.
I want to learn how to drop in.
I want to learn how to kick-flip.
Anything else?
I was going to say.
I want to be more present.
Like, I want to spend less time on my phone.
Dude, I'm down for you bringing more presents now.
So, yeah, that's kind of one.
It does make a huge difference.
Like, just putting a time a little bit on apps.
Like, having to consciously click the button to say,
ignore for 30 minutes or ignore for an hour.
I was always against that.
And then I did it.
It makes such a huge difference, I think.
So you're saying if you click on the app,
it doesn't let you in?
Like, you can only use the app for 30 minutes or an hour a day.
And if you go over that,
you have to say it, you have to consciously click,
ignore for an hour.
Let me keep using it.
And then it just keeps you in check of like whatever.
You could set that time limit at five minutes or five hours,
but it keeps you in check of whatever you want your time limit to be.
How about you guys?
Mine is nothing special,
but it's just like to post more.
I don't like post that much.
It's like once a month on Instagram and then like Snapchat.
I'm always behind.
Like just just be more dialed and you're not behind on Snapchat.
You're posting things.
in the future on stepchat you'll post it before it happens on stepchat you're posting the idea
all right well then i guess yo i just found out that i've been got a new laparikini huh sorry keep care on
uh so to keep posting in the future and then also i have this thought of like like a perfectionist
in some ways and it's way better to just like do a good job do at the time you have and then like
send it out or whatever or order that product or or you know like post the video or
do whatever you're going to do, or even the fix, even if you're jerry rigging it,
it's better to, like, get it fixed than just not do anything at all.
Close your mental loops.
Yeah, yeah, just better to just, yeah, like, just complete it at what it is and just be happy
that you completed it versus being a perfectionist and stress yourself out and do more, think less.
Yeah, yeah.
To dumb it down into four words, I completely would put that as one of my resolutions.
How about you have?
I don't, I really don't want to piggyback, but I,
I've been terrible, Instagram, Snapchat, everything.
Bad on Instagram.
You got to post.
Yep.
I haven't been posting at all.
And so I want to get back on that.
And then I really just want to mess some bikes up.
I'm really more hype for wheelies.
I got out on the ice and that literally fired me up so much.
I got five minutes.
My bike blew up is what it is.
But like it felt so good.
And I feel that like literally lit a spark so hard that like.
I noticed that.
I want to ride bikes, period, a lot, every discipline.
But, like, I am so stoked to do some wheelies.
Like, I don't know what I've been doing.
I just, I've been lacking.
I know what you've been doing.
More of this.
Less of this.
Potentially.
But, yeah, get back on the social media game and do some wheelies and a lot of dirt bikes in general.
Riding in general.
Honestly, like, I've, I glanced up at that Y of Z, the quad.
I'm like, I want to have a track day with quads.
You might even catch the guy mob on a side by side next year.
Oh, no.
Did you say mob on a quad?
Well, yeah.
I've always said quads are gay, but I have fun riding them.
They are, do everyone can agree with that.
It is fun.
Dude, they're fun.
They're fun.
They're fun to do donuts on.
They're a cheat code for wheelies, and they're honestly super fun to hit jumps with.
Maybe they just look bad compared to a bike, but quads are, they're all right, all right.
Don't clip that.
They're not as bad as some people say.
They're all right.
Ken, what's your New Year's resolutions?
I want to really continue, like, doing my health thing and really try and dial in my diet.
I think that's the next step of what I'm trying to do.
What is that stuff you speak of?
I started going to more to the gym.
Not more.
You started going to the gym.
I go to the gym every day.
And you go every day.
I stopped vaping.
Yep.
And now I think the next step is dialing in my diet.
You quit drinking beer, too.
Obviously, you're drinking beer right now, but when you go to the bar?
I drink vodka.
Yeah, right.
I rarely drink beer.
I tried that, Ken, and it got me into more trouble.
I think it depends on, like, you can't always just replace beer with vodka and expect nothing is going to get set into motion with that.
But it, like, it depends on, like, what the liquor is made of.
Is it potato? Is it grain? That makes a difference for...
That's the difference of you running into a swamp?
Yeah, you've got to ask, when you're drinking this, is it potato?
Is it potato? Is it a grain? That does make a difference, though.
Can I don't know, but that's what I'm trying to continue rolling into for the next year.
And I think it's okay to roll them in. I think that's totally good.
It's just building on what I've done already for this year, trying to, you know, make that next step for next year.
Lock it in, really lock it in. But also, I'd say, like,
you're vaping like as long as you can continue on that then that's the best new and i i did do a blood
test i do have the results i came back negative for me i did yeah it's crazy that you had to get a
blood test well because we're doing it we're doing a bunch of insurance stuff oh nice when when you
actually complete it which i did and you haven't yet so any skate goals
maybe if i can ride more than three feet oh come on that's too easy if i can just get flat and level
down.
I think that's good for me.
I think drop in our drift well.
I'm not letting you drop in.
It's a good goal.
Oh yeah.
Let me get flat and level down for more than three feet.
I don't know.
I think I'm a rather dropping.
Brian,
what are your skate goals for 2026?
My real ones too.
My skate goals are to continue to just let skating progress without me.
I felt like I really been holding the sport of skating back.
So just let that keep going on.
and say goodbye.
And how excited are you for the Quad World Tour?
I'm going to work on things that are more important.
Ken, you're striking fear into this man's eyes with that statement.
My actual goals are...
He's trying to make some money this year.
He's got to get his talent out on the road.
My actual goals, one is to ask better questions, more intellectual and just ask more
questions, be more inquisitive on things instead of going like, yeah, right?
You know, like really get in to things.
in what scenarios just like in general i think i take things
for how people will tell them to me and i don't ask them more about them like if you're like
you know i've really been enjoying the gym way they'll be like oh that's really cool good for you
that would be like my response instead of being like really that's cool when did you start going
you know like asking a better question gavinning or bent review or bent review i probably
would prefer more towards the vent review but you know we'll take what we can second thing would
be no i want to like eliminate social media at home i don't want to do it
went much here, but I don't have a problem with scrolling here too much because we're working.
But when I get at home, sometimes this is really easy to, like, just hit a scroll.
Digging into your TV time.
Yeah, it's digging into my Fortnite time and my TV time.
You really got to, like, make the most of your, your episodes.
Yeah, big screen time.
I want to have big screen time.
You got to absorb all of them.
But, yeah, that's my less.
It's not like I really, any of us are going to be monitoring that, nor will we be like,
Ryan, what are you doing?
Well, I'm just curious, like, what will.
you implement to like do that just normally when i'm i pick up my phone and start scrolling on it just
not do it self yeah ryan i love how you said that because that's exactly what i was saying
when mike asked like what elaborate contraption you're gonna have to keep you're doing it
you're like i'm just gonna like not do it i think i've done it a few times where i'll drop my phone
in the drawer of my desk and i kind of know when it's in there right but then so many times
I've ran down the stairs for something that's happening.
And it's not like,
I need to be filming this.
But it's just like I need to.
How was my Snapchat going to know?
Yeah.
Like you find some,
oh,
I've been looking for that.
And then you like need to send a picture of it to your friend
or to update them on something.
And then I'm like,
oh, well,
if I intentionally left my phone up there.
And now you're behind.
Yeah.
Now you're just like,
well,
if I would have just brought it with me.
My issue with that is whenever I try and do that,
and then I unsilence it.
It's like,
holy shit,
War III just broke out. Oh, every time.
Every time. And then I'm like, I got a lot to catch up on. And then I'm like almost
more more stressed of like that's what I'm saying. Not no phone. Sorry I missed all this whole
conversation. But here's my two cents in it. But I think a lot of times I go what's happening
in the group chat. I pick it up. It's like one question and then the phone's open and then you just
I see a lot more value in that insane like just automatically at 10 o'clock your phone goes on do
not disturbed not like a location specific just like a time specific 10 o'clock i'm just
unavailable yeah like you guys already are because i send so many texts in our group
you're the latest yeah you're the late i'll see something to like 12th dude i'm just like laying in bed
and something comes to mind i'm just like grab my phone like fire it off pretty much every
single night try and go to bed my brain starts going i grab my phone like still like with my eyes closed
I'll feel around on my nightstand
grab my phone
and then just fire off a text to you guys
I always wonder what it was like.
Which I appreciate because I just wake up to it
and then in the morning I just handle whatever
I figured you were up sitting at your desk
with a cup of tea fully alert.
So it's nice to know that you were also tired
that I sent that message.
I mean obviously like I'm awake
when you send most of them and like sometimes
because you are the only one that ever responds.
I know that.
I was like sometimes I respond.
And then other times.
times I might just be like, well, I'm in night mode, so I don't. I mean, I'll admit that.
And then other times, Ben's firing such an insane or such a good or such an elaborate
idea that it's just like, I read it and I think about it. I'm just like, we're going to get back
to that one. I love the, yeah, the two screen, two fold scroll screen plans at like 1130.
Yep. It's more times than not.
It's about 10 minutes typing this thing out. And then most of us that are tired have to
read it four times just to figure out what you said most of it's got so many spelling errors and
typos too because i'm i'm typing a one eye open say you're pretty in depth with your text so like
you're pretty yeah i just try say what's up i just start firing ideas when i am trying to go to bed
and then i just i don't want to forget them i don't want to forget them and i also get excited
about them and I want to share the excitement with you guys hoping that you'll reciprocate
the excitement and be excited with me and then 98% of the time it just goes unanswered
until the next morning I follow up like schedule it so you guys hey I'm not going to start
scheduling text all the time schedule send is the best thing you can learn about I was too stupid
you can schedule a text it's no it's great it's nice you push the plus button scroll down
the schedule send tell it to the time you time and day you want it to send
i need to start doing that i need to start doing that for people like our accountant
exactly banker because i i do the same shit to them too honestly i do the same like i'll fire
off ideas way too late at night but the thing is is i always say if they don't like receiving
text like this i don't think that we're a good match of uh for certain like being in business
together like things like that and i think about that too with like our other business partners or like
things like that i'm like eh i don't care because greta's always on me of like don't you think
this is like super unprofessional and like not what you should be doing late at night of like
bothering other people and i'm like i'm like i get that greta and i always i tell you the same
thing i go if they get annoyed by my late night ideas that benefit all of us like to
you know, whatever we're doing,
then I don't want to,
I don't want to be in business with them
or be affiliated with them because we're not on the same wavelength.
99% of the time,
they always respond by 8 a.m. the next morning.
Right.
And it is a little different if you have like an idea
or something like you really need to tell them,
regardless of what time it is.
But I did think that like the scheduled text is like a good way
to like our insurance agent is our friend
and I'll text her at whatever time.
And then I just,
that's when I first started.
scheduling text. I'm like, I guess I don't need a text
you at Sunday at 8 p.m. or whatever.
But I find it really nice when they do
respond. And then people are always like,
you're always talking about insurance, like when we're out at the
bar or something. But I'm like, well,
it's a good time to get her done. I'm sure a lot
people are like that, though. You just like, your brain
starts working as soon as you start going to bed.
And that's usually when I try and capitalize on it.
I'm trying to think if I could use this scheduling
platform to mess with
Big Red.
Text of debt. You know who I'm going to do this,
I'm going to schedule a text to go to Dave Sherbrook at 3 a.m. and just go, you up?
And then he'll probably be up.
And then I got to send a follow up and just be like, been working for two hours now,
was just wondering if you were getting at it already.
Because he's like the big like, oh, if you're not up at 4 a.m., working, you're a lazy kind of guy.
You can basically send it from like a year from now.
I want to sit down for 20 minutes and schedule out five months' worth of text to Big Wrench.
I'm asking what jetting for my 97 YZ 250?
Just randomly at 4 a.m.
He'll be up at that time too.
I thought you were going to say everybody's birthdays.
You just get all your birthday texts out of the way for the year.
That's a good idea.
Well, I've been saying this for AI.
If someone texts you, hey, bro, send me that picture from last night.
AI, your phone should just pull it up and just say, do you want to send this picture?
Well, it might pull up the wrong picture from last night.
You're right, but it knows that if Ben texts me, Ben's in the picture.
Oh, your picture is ruin Evan's life.
All right, I just scheduled a text to you, Evan, that says you up at 1159 on December 31st.
Hell yeah.
Oh, I will be.
It's New Year's.
I will be.
I'll be noodle, but I'll be up.
Oh, come on now.
You got to.
F, F, F, F, F, go on your phone right now.
and schedule a text at 12 o'clock on January 1st, 2026,
and just be like, yeah, bro, what's up?
And then you schedule a text.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
You know, that's just silly, but I like it.
Because you know what?
We can milk this out, but by 1203 or 4, I want to say happy New Year's.
Well, you could schedule that.
That's what I'm saying.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
that's actually a pretty funny idea what if you did that with big wrench where you schedule a text
just like at noon you ask him a question and then at like 1220 you send him a follow-up question
to that but in kind of like a condescending yeah condescending assuming this is what he's
and see how long every 15 minutes in increments i just want to ask him tasks like i want to pick
a day four months from now to go get spark plugs
at L&M. And then
how good does it feel when you walk
into the shop?
He goes, got you those spark plugs.
For some reason, I needed a half a dozen
BR-9s
in August.
And you go, oh wow, Big Ranch,
how inconvenient was this
for you to go and grab it? He's going to go
pretty inconvenient. I wasn't planning
on going to town, but I figured it was pretty
bad if you needed them at 5 a.m.
You'd be like, perfect.
Remember that sticker you put on my door handle.
Well, boys.
That's a good idea. What a crazy way to utilize scheduling.
Thank you for an amazing year, guys.
We love every single one of you.
And thank you for everything, uh, for watching all of our content.
Dude.
Let's go.
2025 was the best year of my life.
And I hope you guys is too.
I mean, it wouldn't be possible at all without you guys watching the podcast,
listen to us, talk every week,
and watching the crazy videos that we've been putting out all year.
So appreciative of everyone.
That was not nearly as good as Ken's.
All right, boys, peace.
We'll see you in 2026.
Actually, oh, my God.
He's not going to make it.
He pissed his pants.
He pissed his pants.
What?
He actually pissed his pants.
He pissed his pants.
Hey, dude, he ran out of here like there was something wrong.
