Oh my god.
I'm going to put the sheet through the drywall.
You guys just drove the whole way home with a blowing out tire.
I couldn't stop him if I wanted to.
I didn't want to, but I couldn't have.
I don't think I'm taking life serious enough for me to be doing that stuff.
Yeah!
Are you getting a robot, a house-made robot?
What's been doing here?
Poopin.
I mean, you like to think at this point he's been done
because he's been in there for about 10.
Well, it's about...
Three minutes of pooping and seven minutes of scrolling on your phone.
Is what I'm getting at?
Is he running your program?
We're just waiting on him to scroll.
Who doesn't run that program?
How much scrolling do you do on the toilet, Ken?
Mostly looking at my phone.
Really?
So you're saying you're doing majority of damage to the porcelain?
I don't know if that answered the question.
How much scrolling do you do?
I'd rather spend a little extra time and make sure you get everything out and not have to go back twice,
then like go super quick and then have to go back.
I'm sure Evan knows about this, but I think it is funny.
like the thought of having to go back.
Like, it's just, it's pretty impressive.
I gotta go.
Like, I gotta go and then I'm, I, I went.
So I'm not gonna go back.
Have you ever thought about like, just getting your gut checked for like something that you're,
well, I wouldn't even say there might be.
There seems to be something that you're eating that is making you have to blow the toilet out a few times a day.
Well, it's when we're doing all this like travel stuff and doing that.
We've been traveled in.
Like yesterday, we were out on the ice and we kind of, the diet was off.
He clogged his.
He clogged his.
He clogged his.
Yeah, he log jammed it.
He ate so many encrustables.
You had, what, nine uncrustables, but you blame it on the fish house?
It's not part of my normal diet.
Yeah, so he was a deliberate log jam is what we were calling it.
It was pretty fun.
So Ken requested, make sure you have uncrustables for me in the ice house,
because obviously we weren't going to have a toilet.
And I picked up two boxes, I mean, right away.
We were out there probably 630.
Ken was putting an uncrustable down.
Well, absolutely.
I don't want to, like, get to a.
point where it's like, okay, I got to go do this on the ice.
It was very strategic.
You were eating them intentionally knowing that it would plug you up.
It was very strategic.
I don't know.
I could appreciate it.
I thought, wow, talk about being.
It's forward thinking.
Forward thinking.
My friends, Ben and Dalton had their first truck wagon ever.
What's that?
So what is a chuck wagon?
I've heard you've been talking about it.
No clue what it is.
It's like a bologian cheese microwave sandwich at the gas station.
And what makes it a chuck wagon versus just the type of meat?
They just call it.
It's like a couple of meats and a couple different cheeses and there's seeds on the bun.
I don't know why they call it a chug wagon.
How did you feel it was?
So Evan, for context to the listener, loves gas station food.
More than normal food.
He would rather eat there than fine dining, I would say.
Quick and convenient does the job.
And if you know the right things to get, you know, like certain gas stations have good chuck wagons.
Other gas stations have good pizzas.
You know, you just know what to get when you walk in the door.
You're going to go out of your way to go to a quick trip because it's better.
They don't have Chuck Wagon's that quick trip.
They got a hell of a rib sandwich.
Wow.
So you know all the gas station food, what to get where.
How did you feel on the Chuck Wagon, Ben?
Before we get to your thoughts, welcome back to the Life Wide Open podcast.
Good to have you guys here.
Again, thanks for coming.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah, thanks for having us.
We've just been sitting here talking for like 30 minutes.
I don't know.
We were waiting for you to get out of the toilet.
That's how we got on the poop topic.
Sorry about opening up.
I don't know where we opened up, but I'm assuming at the poop topic, that's probably one of the better ones.
But anyways, how did you feel on the Chuck Wagon?
What is that?
A gas station sandwich, Ben.
Yeah, I was rolling like Evan yesterday.
I was rolling on his diet.
We got to the gas station.
He was like, grab one of those ham sandwiches, you know, the ones that are pre-made.
Okay.
You know, that come in like the little triangle.
Yep.
Run that might want two.
Okay.
Chuck Wagon sandwich, you're going to want that for breakfast.
And he's like, microwave right there.
It's like this guy knows the-
You microwaved it at the gas station.
Of course.
It's like he knows the map out of gas stations that he's not even been to before.
Talk your strad on this about getting the ones that you have to warm up versus the ones that are already warm.
I like this tech.
Oh, yeah.
It's like I'll just go to the fridge and grab one and warm it up myself because then it's like freshly warmed.
They sit on the little roller grill too long.
You know, it could be a crusty bun or I don't know.
You just don't know.
You don't think that the ones sitting in the fridge are going to be soggy, more soggy than the ones that have been sitting
and a little warmer.
No, because they just take them out.
Well, the ones that are sitting get like a soggy hard vibe.
Yeah, they get more bricked.
Yeah.
I've never really had to deal with the soggy.
But yeah, it's more of the hard factor when the bread sits too long.
Yeah, so, you know, I, okay, I'll grab this, grab this.
And he's like, microwave 50 seconds.
Like 50 seconds.
Isn't it just easier to hit the 30 twice?
You know, get a minute.
Always do that.
No, 50 seconds right on.
I ran it 60 seconds and it cooked, it cooked it too much.
Really?
I did.
And I went,
Too much cheese melt up.
Yep.
I went,
should have gone 50 seconds.
Yep.
And then, you know, I proceed to grab coffee,
but it was like one of the pre-made, you know,
coffee dispensers where you just hit the French vanilla.
Okay.
Or it's got like the different flavors.
I run the French vanilla.
Cappuccino, brother.
So I run the French vanilla like by my choice.
I made that decision for myself.
Oh, this is what I want.
And that was the wrong one.
I'm assuming.
Well, I get into the car.
And he goes, what did you get?
I go French vanilla.
And he goes, all of it?
And I go.
Yeah, it's a lot of sugar.
Yeah.
And he goes, mm, should have gone half and half.
Are you saying, are you run half coffee, half French or not?
Yeah, it's too syrupy otherwise.
And I take one sip and I go, yep, too sugary.
Shoulda.
I should have asked.
I should have asked.
It's like we pull up to a gas station.
I'm going to just let this guy do the ordering.
Tell the listener where it is that you learned.
I'd just be in a construction worker and just running out of the gas station like constantly.
Yeah, you're working manually.
You got like a half hour learning.
You don't have much time.
And it's like you just hit the gas station.
No, I already knew that.
I just wanted them to understand where your background knowledge.
Yep.
Lots of traveling.
A lot of traveling for work and just, there's always a gas station.
Yeah.
So, you know, I mean, the viewers know this.
Like, Evan is, he's rancid.
Like, the smells that come out of his body are horrendous.
They are not human.
And there was three of us that ran Evan's diet yesterday.
Yeah, Dalton was.
He had terrible gas.
Oh, it was unbelievable.
Does anyone?
It was unbelievable, right?
So there was three of us together, all run on the same diet.
And it was, it was the smelliest vehicle in existence.
In existence.
It was, it was so bad that the windows had to constantly, it was freezing.
But the windows had to constantly be cracked.
So it was like the heat had to be turned up more to get more heat in because so much heat
was leaving.
There was no insulation in the vehicle either.
But it was, it was like, if they weren't cracked, we were just sitting there
basking in it.
And then after like four hours of it, we started hallucinating.
Oh, no.
It got to the point.
It might have been a, it might have been a mix of like the gas station gas coming out
of the bodies.
And then maybe a little bit of like carbon dioxide from his toots.
Well, I was going to say from the vehicle.
Well, that'd be carbon monoxide.
Carbon.
What the hell is carbon dioxide?
That's what he breathe out.
Would be his gas, his toots.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
So carbon dioxide.
You were breathing both.
Are there...
Is there any context to this?
They were in a fish house.
Are we on track?
Is this too early to lay out?
I think what we lay out in this is not who won.
Yeah.
Right? Or...
How big a fish you caught off.
How big, yeah.
And stuff like that's probably not going to end up in the video.
I assume Evans Tuts aren't going to end up in the video or are they?
No, they're in it.
We couldn't even...
We couldn't film around it.
Really?
So it was like every, every, yeah, it was literally like every two minutes.
So are we going to give any contacts?
So for context to the listener, we just got back from filming a cheap versus expensive mobile ice house fishing video.
Yeah, a little different.
Evan and Ben were on the same team.
Very confined space.
They had a smaller rigs.
That's why it was two to four.
We're not going to say who was in the cheap one.
We're not going to say who was in the expensive one.
But anyways, they were in a confined space together with just Dalton.
And, you mean, you guys were really getting close.
Things got weird.
Honestly, things did get weird.
So I know one of Evans' favorite gas station items is the egg salad and or deviled eggs.
They were eating deviled eggs.
Hard boil eggs.
Hard boil eggs.
No, I've actually, I don't think I've had an egg salad sandwich since the houseboat experience.
Really?
Yeah, it wasn't the egg salad.
It was a tuna?
No.
It was oysters.
But I was just sick.
And this happened to me when I was a kid, I had a G.R.
like the water thing where you get really sick.
Where did you catch that?
From unintentionally drinking lake water.
No, not Lake Superior.
Just like a Fourth of July weekend or whatever.
But either way, I got violently ill.
But the last big meal I ate, I had sucked down like three hot dogs.
So that was like I related hot dogs to six.
So I went like five, ten years.
I could not eat a hot dog.
But now I'm a little bit on the egg salad.
Wow.
That which sucks because I love egg salad.
It's good.
That's good for the thought.
A lot of it.
How do you feel on devil dakes?
Oh, those are dev, I love devil dakes.
I love devil dakes.
Especially you got to have a little paprika on there.
Yeah.
Maybe go crazy with bacon bits.
It's good.
Amazing.
Yeah, mine was chili for a long time.
I got sick off of chili.
Like, I was in a restaurant and I projectile vomited chili all over.
It was crazy, actually.
Yeah.
Kind of traumatic, honestly.
It was, it was.
So I went a while without eating chili.
Mine was raspberry smearing off.
Mine was, mine was.
Oh, and then mine was Ron Diaz.
Oh, man.
I still can't.
I can't even be downwind from Arrondi.
Uncle Ron's never done me wrong.
Never.
What was that,
Edward Ron Hans?
Yeah.
Which is insane.
That didn't exist until we made a little thing.
Well,
because it only existed for one night.
For one night,
for good reason.
But Jake and I took,
well,
obviously you have a bunch of empty bottles
in your college apartment on your...
So split it.
Up high.
So we took an empty one down.
And then we took a fresh bottle,
duct taped it to my hand,
and then poured half of it
into Jake's bottle and then duct tape that to his hand.
We just walked around the party with a bottle of Ron duct tape.
That is lethal.
And then one half.
Both of us died.
You guys did.
We were the life of the party until about the bottom of the label.
And then neither of us were a fun time.
That was bound to happen.
But that's what you do in college.
That's what you learn in college.
What you do.
Mine is also ice hole plum where.
Oh, yeah.
I had a traumatic ice hole.
I know we're talking about alcohol.
That kind of happened to you with vapes too.
Oh, and Vapes.
He had his big box mod.
That's probably one of the best things that ever happened to.
We just,
yeah.
We thought it was so funny and fun,
and we were just like passing around doing big clouds,
and then you got really sick and never vaped again.
And that was years ago.
I think I was just like a young,
impressionable kid.
Yeah.
And I was ripping the vape.
And maybe it was one of the one of you guys that was like,
yeah,
yeah,
if you do it like more,
you can get bigger cloud.
Big cloud.
But we weren't, yeah, yeah.
Normally if you're trying to do...
And it ended so bad.
It ended so bad where I just, I got an insane head buzz.
Was like, oh, oh, this isn't good.
Started throwing up.
And then I was like, oh, yeah.
I don't think I like vapes.
And then I haven't smoked to babe since.
Maybe there is some truth to the, you know,
like if your dad caught you smoke in and then he'd make you smoke a whole pack
and then you presumably get sick.
Maybe there is a little truth to that.
200% something is a bad thing.
Yeah.
So I mean, it's...
Can you imagine?
Imagine, like, your 16-year-old sitting there while he'd chain smoke cigarettes.
That's what some parents did back in the day.
You'd be looking at him.
Like, he's so cool.
If they caught their, like, child sneaking cigarettes, they'd make them smoke the whole pack,
and then you'd get sick because, like, you're not, obviously not an avid smoker at that point in your life.
And then it'd make you not like it.
Like, dude, when I tried grizzly wintergreen chew in the ninth grade,
threw up all over the hockey parking lot.
Never was a chewer.
I mean, it was like, you know, it was a great way of,
basically never being interested in again.
It's the same thing like you're saying about hot dogs and just gross you out.
You can't do it.
I'm glad I bounce back though.
Yeah, that'd be a shame not being able to eat hot dogs and being friends with this guy, Mike.
I think that's like the biggest thing about alcohol is like it's almost just built in to make it less addictive more than it already is of like there's got to be some drawbacks to this product, right?
It can't be perfect.
It can't be perfect.
Well, what if we make people violently hung over the next day?
I don't think they intentionally...
I know that.
Trust me.
If they could take out a hangover there,
would be selling it.
But it's like the only thing, I guess, that reminds you,
oh, yeah.
This isn't a...
This is bad.
Yeah, this isn't a good idea all the time.
What goes up must come down.
But alcohol is so a part of, like, society.
Like, you don't think anything of it, you know?
Yeah, I was going to say, for the most part,
we're lucky that it doesn't necessarily taste good.
And I'm talking in its raw form.
But then I was like, but beer.
is pretty damn good.
Moscow meal is pretty damn good.
And a margarita.
Everybody listening to this on Tuesday morning.
Driver's like,
fuck.
I was laughing pretty hard when we were doing our fishing challenge
because I stayed up a little too late the night before
and we had to be up at 5.15-ish.
I stayed at the late.
Early morning bite?
Yeah, I was just like, there's no way I wake up in time.
So I just stayed up.
How many hours?
How many hours of sleep are we working with?
Zero, zero.
Zero.
Oh, zero.
Zero.
That's not staying up too late.
That's staying up.
I told him that's a terrible idea.
I was working on the brunt promo and then come, you know, midnight,
I sent it off at 2.30.
And I'm like, I can't, I'm not going to be able to wake up.
So I just stayed up.
And so then it was like 7.30 a.m.
And since I just drink N.A. beers, I just started cracking N.A.
And it was the weirdest feeling ever.
I was wondering that too.
I was like, it just seems like a weird thing to start drinking that early.
Like normally you drink a.
coffee, but like, or if you were hung over, but you're not hung over, but you're fishing.
I already got my caffeine in me at about six.
Yeah.
It was just funny.
I was like drinking N.A.
beers at legit 7.30 in the morning, but to me, it felt like, I don't know what time.
I just thought you were getting into the fishing mood.
I mean, Ken was drinking.
I mean, I started the day with a mimosa and I just let it roll.
Oh, yeah, you did.
No, you didn't.
I did.
You did not.
You drank one mimosa and then.
Two, plus just the rest of the champagne bottle.
And then I just beers.
And then you didn't have a beer again until like 4 p.m.
I got to say whatever the fuck Ken was doing, it wasn't catching fish.
We can talk about that.
Ken did not catch a fish until what time was it?
6 p.m.?
No, it was like three or four.
Did you have-on-the-ice for 12 hours?
Did you have a hole drilled?
Yes, every stop, I had a whole drill.
We had it.
And you had a pole?
I had bait on the line.
And then the fish I caught, I thought I felt something.
So I started reeling up and I was like, ah, there's not enough resistance.
I didn't, you know, I didn't catch anything.
So just let it go back down.
Eventually we're like reeling the lines up to move to the next spot.
And I was like, holy shit, I actually got a fish on here.
Yeah.
Me and Ben, actually this big.
You want to know something that I don't know how well it got caught on camera.
But Ken was telling me everything what to do from the moment we got out on the ice.
And then it's, you know, six o'clock at night.
I'm like, Ken, you haven't caught even a fish yet.
And you were sitting here telling me what to do the whole.
Where to go on that.
I caught the most.
fish out there. I'm just going to say that. I know
some things to get me in trouble. I don't
know enough to actually catch anything. What the fuck are you
going to get in trouble in fishing?
Like, what's like, I know. Get you a trouble.
Why would you tell CJ that? Oh, I was like, okay,
I know you want to be like on this kind of zone, in this area,
this depth. And then I don't know what I'm doing.
But like, what are
right? Now that is why
we are split up between Evan and Ken.
He was like, you know what I mean? That's, that's, that's, that's
pretty accurate as to what we assumed was going to happen.
Everyone was going to catch fish.
Ken was not.
I did learn a lot by having a fish house out because I just dropped.
Oh, yeah.
Did you learn anything about fishing?
Not fishing itself.
I just knew the spot because I dropped a spot and then Gavin would be like,
oh, you're in a terrible spot.
You need to move about 15 feet this way.
We're on this break over here and blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, oh, okay.
Dude, picked up a few things.
And then stayed there.
I will say this.
Fished on the channel.
I don't know.
Call it a handful of times.
five times.
Fishing is hard.
Yeah, it is.
And I'll second that the sea boys are very bad at it.
But, dude, even yesterday, like, we were putting in work.
We were on the best lake that you can fish on.
We were grinding.
We were grinding.
We were drilling holes and we are moving and trying to find them.
We were.
Could not find them.
Debatedly, we were finding them.
They were just small.
Yeah, pretty much every, yeah, I don't want to say.
They were small or they weren't bite.
and we didn't know why.
Like, there was, like, so many things.
So my cousin who lives there was, like,
this is the worst fishing day I've ever had.
And he did that it was because of the weather.
It was like pressure changes was making them not.
He was like, there's a full moon or something with the moon.
Yeah, yeah, full moon coming in the sun.
He's into astrology.
A full moon and a storm coming.
Like, these are two things that usually get the fish to bite.
Oh, but he did.
Whoa.
He prefaced with.
It is not, the past week has not been good, but hopefully because of the full moon and the weather moving in, maybe that'll cause things to change, which.
Big butt.
Was what it was.
Is it maybe?
I think we're so used to it, though.
Like, we're so used to just not catching, like, big fish.
I'm not.
I'm just kidding.
I'm sorry.
I'll re-say that.
I'm used to that.
So he was like, this is insane.
Like, we normally have, like, 20 massive fish.
He was like, this is not.
normal and I was like oh really because this is like every single time I've ever gone fishing like
this is normal for me we just have rough luck and I mean we don't put a lot of time into it but like
you know after so many times of doing it somebody's got a snag something yeah you would think but
I told him I was like dude honestly I don't care like this is the most fun I've had in a really
long time it's just so fun like we're not doing really anything besides for just like hanging out
laughing the amount of laughs that we had I don't know when the last time that we've laughed for like
15 hours continuously.
Like the whole time.
That's what I was saying.
It was a combination of like.
Delirium?
Yes,
but all the fumes that we were inhaling in there from a combination of different things.
And it just,
everything was funny.
I'm excited to watch your guys' side of it.
Like obviously I know mine and I heard some stories about the gas station and what was the deal with the guy with Dalton?
But like I'm very excited to hear what happened.
Happened on your side.
of the fishing. I'm actually excited to watch it, but actually what did happen with Dalton?
We were in the gas station and there was this old man.
You should say we were at the gas station twice, actually, because we forgot to get gas.
We were so concerned about the sandwiches that we went to the gas station and got the food
and then got to the lake and realized we had an empty gas.
So we had to go immediately back.
We got back, but you know, Dalton's just like this young boy prancing around and shit.
You never know what he's going to be.
I've never seen a guy like that up and bought that.
Overpriced trousers on.
Yeah, he's wearing these overpriced trousers and his whatever, whatever personality.
And my boots for some reason.
He's wearing, you know, this assortment of different pieces of clothing.
And the old man in there had never seen such a young boy looking the way that he did, apparently.
And?
Well, I was checking out.
And he goes, is that your boy?
You're like, define mine.
I look over and he looks over and he goes,
Can I run him?
What?
What do you mean run him?
I don't believe that.
Like probably beat him up.
Yeah.
For looking like that walking around there.
He was just prancing around, playing with a little microwave and his fucking
bittles, right?
I said, no, you can't run him?
He said, he's a nice boy.
Oh, wow.
So then he was kind of.
I don't believe that.
I mean, he might have been talking.
about the checkout he might have been talking about other things he
we might never know can i run him like run him through the checkout or
maybe he has like a or the ringer
a race coming so he wants to erase louise what a crazy thing to say maybe it was just a
good old-fashioned foot race i don't know yeah yeah no i'm just kidding he didn't say that but i
don't know how oh ryan was asking about that yeah i was maybe going to just let it
slide but he might have an actual life that he doesn't want people no
But he did get after that young kid that was working the register.
Yeah, there was like this young kid working the register,
and he was ringing everything up with his...
A big, a lot of stuff, like 30 items.
A lot of stuff, but nothing had like a barcode on it.
So he had to do it all by hand.
You know, everything had a price on it.
So he's typing everything in and we're standing there.
He's going through everything.
And this is just, I don't know, a younger, younger guy running everything in.
And the old man, there was an old man standing there
who must be the owner
and he's kind of like leaned up.
He'd stand up.
Then he'd sit down in his chair and he stands up
and he goes,
did you get the sandwich?
The guy's like,
well,
I'm working on it.
He's halfway through.
There's 20 items.
There's 20 other things that I'm getting through here.
You can tell that this guy,
it's what seemed like to me
was very clearly a micromanager of like.
You micromanage a fucking cashier.
Yeah,
making sure that he was bringing everything up properly.
I was assuming he was a new high.
Must have been, but I got out and I looked at Dalton and was like, don't get mad at me for micromanaging you.
That guy, that guy didn't even trust him to ring up a sandwich.
We were chuckling about it in the car.
Man.
And then we were leaving the town and we were at this gas station.
Who's your whole trip fucking gas station?
We actually, we like the Vegas trip all over again.
Our fancy meal was Taco Bell.
Oh my God.
And so we're leaving
And we're leaving at like midnight
So I'm like oh I got to go and get a coffee
Because I was driving
And we're leaving in the middle of a snowstorm
I was like oh this is going to be so brutal
We're going to get home at like 5 a.m.
And so I go in and I'm trying to get a coffee
Once again they got like the different coffee machines
With the pre-made coffee right
And usually they just have the coffee cups
Right next to the coffee machines right
I'm looking around this gas station
I can't find a coffee cup
All they had was just like the clear ones for like ice coffee.
There's this worker and I'm like, hey, I'm looking for a coffee cup.
And he looks at me like a traveling coffee cup.
And I was like, well, no, like a coffee.
I was like a coffee cup.
He's like, oh, like a ceramic cup.
Yeah, I was wondering if he's got.
And I was like, no, no, no, a coffee cup.
And he's like looking at me like I'm dumb.
And I'm looking at him like he's dumb.
And then we walk over.
And he proceeds to, like, put his hand under.
I'm like, oh, how did I miss this?
And he pulls out a travel.
No, a traveling mug.
And I'm like, no.
Just the cheap one.
A coffee cup.
And he like kind of looks at me confused.
And this guy was like fully American.
But I'm like looking at him like, oh, he must not speak the same language as me.
And so I go to the coffee machine and there's like a little cup logo on the back of the
coffee machines that, you know, it's right in line with where you fill it up.
And I point at it and I go, coffee cup.
And, bro, mind you, I understand what's going on.
And I can, I'm like a few steps back.
I can see the coffee cups are next to like the creamer and the sugar and the mixers and the lids.
Everything's right there.
So I see what's going on.
But Ben so balls deep into this situation.
I'm just standing back.
And then I'm just trying not to crack up laughing.
I don't want to intervene.
But yeah, when you drop the, you're pointing the machine.
I'm pointing at the machine.
I'm like coffee cup and I'm like giving hand signals to try and show what I'm saying.
Two people short of a brain cell.
And this guy is looking at me like I'm the dumbest human on planet Earth.
And I'm looking at him like, holy shit, this guy's incompetent.
And he looks at me on drugs.
No, so he looks at me and he goes, this.
And he points at the coffee cups.
and I'm like, yeah, those will work.
They're coffee cups.
They're exactly what I was looking for.
You just couldn't see them.
No, they looked like, like, if you go to subway
and you get like a fountain cup.
So he could see them.
Essentially, they were like,
there were some cheap-ass coffee cups
where they looked like more like fountain soda cups.
They were the standard circle cake coffee cup
that they run everywhere forever.
Well, I don't have an inventory.
They've been running those since 1992.
I don't have an inventory at every single gas.
station in the Midwest.
At any point,
did you say styrofoam?
No,
because I'm not looking,
I wasn't looking for like a styrofoam cup.
I'd love to.
That's what they're made out of.
It might be cardboard,
but poor or pond.
It's got a little insulation on the outside.
Like,
that's what I was looking for.
You know,
like,
I can just imagine he went home and I go,
honey,
I met the dumbest kid today.
He'd look,
you know,
like maybe he'd be okay.
That probably happens more than just that guy.
Tell him about the spoons.
And now we had to park across.
the street.
Jesus Christ,
you guys might have had carbon monoxide poison.
So,
so.
You guys might still have it.
I truly think that you guys cannot be left alone.
Like there is,
there's people in this group that like Ken.
When we are in an airport,
Ken keeps us alive.
Dude,
you guys are like children on.
We may have been dysfunctional,
but we had the best time.
It was like you were let out of the
Mooney house and went to go get ice cream.
All right.
So he,
uh,
he, uh,
he,
I always meet with the coffee cups and I'm like, fine, those will work, right?
Knowing damn well, that's what I was looking for.
I just didn't see him the first time.
And so I grab it.
I fill up my coffee and I'm looking over and Dalton and Evan are like hiding be
underneath, well, I should say Dalton's hiding underneath the aisle.
Evan gets off of his tippy toes.
Because they were like so uncomfortable watching this whole coffee cup encounter go down
that they were like they didn't want to claim me so much so that like Evan just checked out himself
and he hits the road and so I'm walking around with then Dalton at this point and uh I get a
parfei looking for some snacks and uh I grab a fucking spoon because he knew where they were
I grabbed a spoon I knew the spoon was I'll show him and I you know I check out I'm walking
walking out, I start laughing.
I just go, fucking coffee cup.
And at this point,
Dolan and Evan start laughing.
Because they were like, that was insane.
I was like, yeah, I don't know what that was all about.
You guys definitely lost brain cells up there.
Ken and I just looked at each other.
So then we proceed to get in the car.
Well, no, but we needed diesel that stationed in.
So we like pull up.
They don't have diesel.
we have to leave, go to the gas station across the street that's closed to get diesel,
walk across the road in a blizzard, get up, go through this whole scenario,
now walk back to the other gas station, get in the truck, and that's not where we are.
Holy shit, we spent so much time at gas station.
So we get in the car, we're just dying, laughing about this whole coffee,
cuffing counter.
And in the process of that, I lose my spoof.
Is this a fucking prank?
Yeah, is this a prank?
We're all sitting here just like,
and you guys are just dying.
I lose my spoon.
And then it's like Spoon Gate
where we can't find the spoon.
We're like, what the hell happened to this spoon?
I'm looking through everything.
I'm like, I don't know.
I just had it.
So I have to go back into the gas station.
That's actually awesome.
I have to go back into the gas station
that I just looked like a total idiot.
Oh, this guy again.
He's coming in.
You walk in.
You walk in.
Wait, you want a lid?
So I walk in.
I just ignore the people.
I just walk straight up, grab another spoon.
They walk out without making eye contact.
Like, holy fuck.
This is like, they're going to be talking about me for a while.
After what just happened in here.
That happens all a lot of places.
He probably thought that he, oh, he probably wanted to share that parfe with his buddy.
The original spoon was in the, was in the cup holder with the parfe.
the whole time.
Even better.
It was very dark.
But they were probably,
it was a black spoon.
You couldn't see it.
The fact that you've had two spoons.
The fact that you guys made it all the way home alive is astonishing.
But the fact that all the damage that you did do our stuff was a blown tire on the trailer,
which God knows how far you drag that.

You guys just drove the whole way home with a blowing out tire.
I had a same. First of all, first of all, there was a lot of things going down.
Well, in the whole in the whole cup ordeal of us laughing about this cup incident,
well, the fucking diesel pump shut off at $100.
I didn't check to see.
I just figured it was done filling up.
And so we're buzzing and we're like rolling back roads to try and get home just like quicker.
And also it was snowing so hard.
I'm just trying to keep this thing on the road
working with the brain cells that I had
and we were running
such back roads that we didn't have gas stations
until we realized that we were like
running low on fuel because we were so far away.
So I was just solely worried
about getting to a gas station.
Oh my God, of course you were.
Of course.
All you could fucking think about was a gas station.
You just want to a tour of the gas station?
of rural Minnesota.
That's all you did.
Was Evan pretty scared?
Yes, he was.
He was freaking out.
He was freaking out in the back.
He was like,
who do you think we can call?
Well, I'm like,
I'm trying to think ahead.
It's 3 a.m.
like, how are we going to get diesel?
Like, I'm trying to get the wheels rolling
rather than just be dead on the side of the road.
Well, not dead, hopefully.
Just out of gas.
I was like, bro, I think we'll make it.
And he's like,
Well, what if we don't?
Who are we going to call?
I'm like, I don't know.
We could probably call Gab.
I bet he'd answer.
Whoa.
How long do you think we're going to be sitting on the side of the road?
I don't know.
45 minutes, maybe, an hour?
Well, fuck.
Who else could we call?
Oh, my.
Yeah.
So we thankfully made it.
And we didn't realize that there was a blown tire on the trailer.
There's four tires on the trailer.
One of them blew.
And the whole trailer.
The whole trailer was covered in ice and snow,
and I think that was maybe covering it up.
Yeah, well, it was...
The tires were covered in ice and snow?
It was just a whole thing move.
It was a mountain of snow.
Our rig was slightly too wide for the trailer,
especially when it was loaded caddywampus,
because I did this once with the skid steer,
where if the item on the trailer touches the fender,
the fender touches the tire.
Yeah.
And we loaded it up, and I gave a quick inspection.
I went, ooh, that's pretty close.
But I'm assuming it just shifted ever so slightly.
Yeah.
There was just so much shit going on.
And it was also 4.30 in the morning.
We were just trying to get home.
Well, that video drops this week.
So that's something for the viewer to look forward to.
Well, pretty much everything we just explained was off camera behind the scenes.
Not supposed to be funny or entertaining at all.
And it just so happened to be the highlight of our trip.
Yeah, well, podcast makes a great time to talk about it.
I can't lie.
we moderately enjoyed it at best.
What?
I was having a hard time following.
I was still funny.
Oh, the story.
You were talking about your experience.
Oh, that too.
Mike didn't have fun.
He wanted to be on your guys.
I really don't want it.
I don't want it to come across as mean.
We had a good time.
We just probably didn't have as much fun as you.
We had a good time.
Well, we missed you, Mike.
We did things in honor of you.
I just, I'm so versed in.
I'm riding.
I'm usually stuck on like the shitty, the old version.
So like I'm pretty.
versed in what it takes to, like, have a good time on that.
You know, like, whenever we do that, those type of challenge.
I usually do.
So I just, in my head, came into it thinking that, yeah.
Mike's just mad that CJ bought brots for lunch and not hot dogs.
Bro, Ken, I brought brots.
And then CJ's like, I brought hot dogs for you.
Hey, by the way, Mike, hot dogs, hot dogs.
And I opened the bag and they're brots.
So I'm like, what is this?
What is going on?
You're pissed.
They weren't hot dogs.
I mean, sure.
Sure, but it just makes no sense.
And then the brats that I brought were shitty.
I probably should have just brought hot dogs.
CJ bought $5 steaks that were gas.
I didn't even know they could make stakes that were five bucks that were good.
So that was a plus.
It's probably cheaper than you guys's gas station food.
It's hard to beat.
I mean, that chuck wagon was $5.99.
Yeah, shit.
They were cheaper in your gas station food.
Stakes we had were good.
We ripped some Fortnite.
That was fun watching Ryan just in his element playing Fortnite.
We were zooming around checking holes too, but we caught quite a bit of fish.
We did. It was good time.
Dude, you'll have to...
This split up, divide and conquer style of video is so much fun.
Every single time.
Like, it's my favorite form of video to film.
When we break into teams and then it's your team against the other.
Yeah.
Love it.
Competition.
Yeah, it's so much fun.
Play little mind games here and there.
Oh, yeah, maybe a little bit, Ken.
You don't play mind games, Ken.
You just call and hang up.
Well, Ben was clearly playing mind games with his little fidget clicker.
Like get your mind spinning
I mean he was like
Oh there's no way
Those guys caught that many fish
He was counting how many sandwiches you ate
How many gas station stops you guys had
On your belt
See that?
17
So what's in the bag siege
Oh the bag
I came bearing gifts actually
Rolexes
Let's go
We're not gonna open them all at the same time
The boxes look pretty fancy
Is it safe to shake
Like the Christmas deal
I can try to guess.
Can I shake?
Well, I'm not going to break it.
Let's start with Ben.
No way.
Will you be my best man?
Best man?
Let's go.
Actually, you guys can all just open it at the same time.
It'll be good.
Bro.
Well, you be my groomsman, and it's a photo boy.
A knife!
Oh, and a giant cigarette.
Cigar.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm a flower boy?
Right.
Let's go, Ken.
Cigar.
No, there's a knife in there, too, Ken.
I got knives for everyone.
Wow.
Hey, of course, dog.
Thank you.
Yes, CJ.
I will get drunk at your wedding.
Wait.
Everyone snap your knives.
I can't snap mine.
Yo, yo, check out everyone's knives.
I don't think I can snap this.
Mine won't even open.
Oh, no, you got pressed a box.
Mine's kind of a Homer Simpson.
It's locked.
Yeah, I got you the donut one, Mike.
It was fun.
I got everyone personalized knives.
You got a bench made, Ben.
Yours is automatic.
Boom.
Appreciate you guys.
Yeah, dude, this is dope.
Thanks, Siege.
Ken?
What do you think?
That'll be your flower boy.
You will?
Thank you, bro.
I appreciate that.
I think that would be beautiful.
A lit picture of us riding quad, too.
Not as much pressure being the flower boy
as it is the ordained minister.
I know.
I wanted you to be that, but you didn't want to do that.
It's your, Ken.
Doesn't snap.
I think you just don't know how to snap it.
Was this all employed just to get us all our own knives?
Yeah, it was pretty fun shopping for knives.
I bet.
I actually, I'll wait you buy for yourself.
Ken's might be small, but it's pretty sharp.
That's what we want here.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to Evan and Ken.
Alex just doesn't have enough friends.
So like you got to get drunk.
You got to throw the flowers.
It works.
I'm stoked.
All I got to say is you're invitational.
for Evan, you've got to be careful with.
Yeah.
How drunk can the flower boy get?
It's a given.
It's a given.
It's a given.
Well, he here said get drunk at his wedding.
I got drunk before Mike's wedding, so I'll wait.
If you wait, he should be good.
I'm good for at least six hours.
Get lightly buzzed before and then fully drunk at the wedding?
No, I'll roll up sober.
Yeah.
I'm just bummed, Ken.
I didn't want you to have to be the flower boy.
I wanted you to be the ordained person.
But you didn't want to do it.
You didn't want to be, run the, officiate the wedding.
I just think you would mean a lot more for someone who actually knows what they're doing.
I don't know what I'm doing for that.
Well, you don't know what to fish, but you're giving everyone instruction.
Well, I knew enough to slightly know what to do, just not fully know what to do for that.
You could have learned.
You got 10 months, bro.
True.
I could have.
I'll be the flower boy, though.
Everyone snap your knives real quick.
just there's some good action on all these knives.
Like, I mean, I really like, okay, yours is kind of stuck, Ken, but all of them are,
yours is supposed to be nicer.
It's not the biggest knife, but he'll know how to use it.
Well, you just got to, you got to know how to snap it.
You know, it's pretty funny.
You actually have, hold on.
I got nervous.
There we go.
So it was super fun for me because I love knives, obviously, it's my new thing.
And, you know, Mike got, he gave everyone's shoes.
Give it a good snap.
Yeah, shoes, knives.
I am so sorry, CJ.
It was not on the last podcast where you kind of got called out in the comments for it,
but you really should just say knives.
Knives.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
That's how you do it when I just get you a gift, Mike.
I got the squad a bunch of knives.
No, knives.
I got them knives.
Anyways, yeah, Ben, no, yours is kind of actually weak because it's a bench made.
This is supposedly like the nicest knife.
Everyone, and I custom made that red with the dot and the bronze thing for you.
And I get it.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
this thing's like kind of shitty.
Like, why is it not snap?
So I'm sorry.
Like, I don't know what the deal is with that thing.
Okay, so that's what I was about to say is that we're almost in a world where the better the knife snaps, the better.
It is.
The better it is.
Maybe the most important.
That knife is probably the most expensive one here.
It's actually not, Mike.
That's not the most expensive knife.
It's the donut, isn't it?
No, Ken's.
Ken's is.
And Ken, that isn't your actual knife.
Oh.
He's got another box in the bag.
So I was thinking to myself, I'm like, Big Ken, he's a big guy.
You know, we go way back.
He needs a lot more in a little pocket knife.
Yes, he does.
I'd have to agree.
There's no way.
A Japanese samurai sword.
A Japanese samurai sword.
That's awesome.
So this is actually the most expensive piece that I will be given out.
Holy.
Let's see.
Open this thing up again.
Look at how beautiful this box.
Oh, my gosh.
Boom.
What's that saying?
Oh, I can't be a group of.
Oh, man.
Holy.
It's sharp, dude.
Bronze.
Ken, you got to hang that in the boathouse.
That thing is sweet.
And it's a bronze blade.
Bronze blade, samurai sword, bro.
It's sharp, too.
It's sharp.
You bet, man.
Oh, my gosh.
You bet.
So, wow.
Somebody's got to say it.
Ken, be careful with that thing.
Can I get like a good...
Can I move?
Oh, my God.
And then you're just...
Can I almost put the sheet through the drywall.
Yeah, dude.
I didn't think the thing was going to fly that far.
What did you think was going to happen when you...
Handcrafted.
Wow.
And you know Ken, he loves the Japanese.
Dude, this is not only a decorative piece, but home defense.
Let's, yeah, let me see this.
Is it sharp?
It's very sharp.
Well, we should maybe change that.
Oh, my gosh.
Can we dull it?
Can we get a couple of pumpkins or watermelons or something?
We can chop it up.
We could.
A little fruit.
I think it's oiled because it's handcrafted, so it's, like, oiled.
I don't want it to rust or anything.
I don't really know.
I don't think bronze rust, does it?
I don't know what.
It's not, yeah.
It's probably steel.
Either way, I mean, the brown blade is sick.
Yeah.
Dude, there was a bunch of options.
I just thought to myself, I think I want to get him something nice that he would show off in his house.
So, like, Ken, I'll be extremely disappointed.
If this isn't hanging somewhere.
Yeah.
Like above your fireplace, something like that.
I mean, this is.
Or, one better.
get a little belt loop for it.
We get him karate lessons and he learns how to use it.
Here.
I think we have some fruit down the whole shirt on the side.
Go grab some fruit.
See if Ken can operate.
He doesn't need to be swinging that thing around.
We need to be far there away.
It's a little too confined.
It's pretty sharp, man.
Maybe let me go on the back camera,
get at least 10 feet away from you
and see if you can cut that liquid death and a half.
Give it a good chop.
Let's maybe do it downstairs.
No, fuck it.
What's just get it dirty.
All right.
Alright, okay, everyone maybe should we just let-
Hold up, okay?
Wait, wait, wait, I gotta get out of here, bro.
I gotta get out of here.
A firm grasp on it.
Are you throwing it or you want me to?
Oh, you're gonna throw it.
We're gonna throw it.
We're gonna do a fruit ninja style?
Just go, you're gonna hit a baseball?
You think you're gonna hit with a sand right sort?
Just, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's what I mean.
Get slice it, here we go.
Yeah!
He sliced it!
He sliced it!
Holy smokes.
that was so worth it.
Clean in half.
Clean in half.
All right, back to the podcast.
Wow.
We turned the TV on.
It doesn't work.
I actually would have been pissed if Ken's didn't cut it in half.
Like I said,
Big Ken,
you got the most expensive piece,
but that's why I had to mess with you there at the beginning.
But,
uh,
thank you.
But yeah,
no,
that's a,
that's a,
that's a fucking badass gift.
When Ken,
uh,
God has to be the flower boy.
I was like,
that's what happens,
Ken,
when you don't invite him to you,
but,
it happens when you don't invite him to your birthday.
Did you break the table?
He hit the table and he broke the table even.
How did you hit?
At what point did you hit the table?
I don't know.
I love you guys.
I want you all to be there and, you know, Mike, he gave us all shoes and I was sitting there thinking.
I'm like, what could I get these guys?
And I hit you.
You know, it's like I like knives.
I need to share my love of knives with them.
Yeah, Mike's got an automatic knife, so that's actually kind of illegal Mike.
But he lives in North Dakota.
So just don't get caught with it.
Yeah.
I'm out of state.
I got you that.
And I even got some knives.
I got one for Dalton.
I got one for Gavin the wrench, tint mark.
Dude, yeah, this thing has a safety.
Yeah, you need a safety, man.
Yeah, Ben, dude, I'm sorry.
What the fuck?
Benchmade?
Kind of shitty.
I'm kind of disappointed.
So what makes a knife a bench made, I guess?
It's the brand.
That's called Benchmade.
And they're like pretty expensive.
Okay, so it's not like a process.
Like a couple hundred dollar knife, you know?
It's not a process.
It's just, that's their brand.
That's not a lot of knife.
Ben's got the worst snap on all of them, and I was hoping he'd have the best.
You'd probably loob it up, maybe.
Maybe do something.
Custom, though.
That's custom, dude.
Custom builder.
It's a nice knife, though.
Thank you, bro.
Yeah, man.
Ken, what were you thinking when, when you saw flower girl?
I was kind of, like, excited to be flower boy.
Throw the flowers?
I don't know.
You can fucking throw flowers.
Like, what the fuck?
Then you go stand in the back, then you go throw some more flowers.
It'd be kind of cool.
You could do double duty.
Technically, I did get the job for both, so.
Yeah.
I love the plot twist.
That was fun.
Ken came out as Flower Boy and was throwing little rose petals.
You would make the wedding a hundred times better.
I guess it sounds like I might have to now.
I guess I just...
Be careful what you say, Ken.
You're right.
I just figured that Alex has like a few of the cutest nieces and nephews ever,
and I figured that it was going to be them maybe doing it.
Nah, get them out of it.
And I was picturing Ken walking them down.
And they're like, this is one giant man and a few little children.
Alex, I can tell them they're fine.
If you haven't told them already, or if you have told them,
I'll just tell them they're fired.
Their presence is no longer needed.
Show up in a full ninja uniform.
Ken's up there.
It's like going down the camera and Ken's just like fully in ninja form.
Like you can't see, you just see his eyes.
He could cut the cake.
You could bring that and cut the cake.
This guy's really taken.
But only minutes before he's standing up there in a suit with all of us,
what hell did Ken turn into a ninja?
It's what makes a good camera.
Exactly.
That's what makes a good samar.
Samurai. Let me see these
these knives one more time. I got to snap.
I have a bad ass, dude. You cut right through that can.
Clean through it. It was empty.
Yeah, that's a good. It was a lot of half of.
It was very lightweight. Yeah, it is. I need to put
a little air tag on my knife. I'm a little worried that I'm going to lose it.
You can snap yours. Just a little stiff.
You just need to be a pro. Just go to oil it a little bit. Get a little grease in there.
Let it kind of loosen up.
You need to oil something.
Ooh. There you go.
Now you guys are all going to be snapping your knife. It's going to be great.
Yeah.
Everywhere we go now
Just all of us
We always kind of look like a game
And then now everybody's snapping a knife
Ben's literally going full
Dummy zone in the circle
K but he's trying to figure out where the coffee cup is
But he's also threatening
They call the cops they think
I don't know this guy's delirious
You got a weapon
It doesn't seem that far fetch
Now that we all have knives
We love snapping them
We might do it in a place we shouldn't
Somebody's gonna be like
Yo these guys are trying to stab somebody
I wasn't threatening
I was
Just snapping it.
It's just brandishing.
You know, Ben, you have a fidget spinner.
Now he's got a knife snapper.
You have the best defense because you're like, this thing, it's just a donut knife.
I'm not going to hurt anybody with it.
Unless I have to.
Unless you have to, yes.
Where do you think is a okay place to snap it versus not, like, that you go throughout
your day?
In your office?
Yeah, your office.
If you're at like, don't snap it at the bank.
When you're at the tail.
Don't snap it at the bank.
You can snap it at like your Ducks Unlimited Banquet.
You could probably snap it there.
Maybe at a restaurant, it'd be okay.
Okay, so you do think it's okay to snap.
When it's time to pay at a restaurant?
Yeah.
I would just.
How much do I owe you?
At the grocery store, probably not.
But it's okay at a restaurant?
Well, you might be using it to cut your food.
Yeah, okay.
That's fair.
Yeah, have you started doing that, CJ?
That's a hard of.
You bring your own knife to the restaurant?
I should start.
That is a power move.
Just using my knife.
Cutting up your ribby.
There's restaurants around here that does that.
Like, they have people bring their own custom knife to the restaurant,
and the restaurant kind of holds on to it,
washes it. Steak knives, Ken.
Still your own knife.
Pocket knives. Right.
Well, hey, and I just had to repay the favor after, you know, you guys were so nice to pick
me up from getting my wisdom teeth out, bring me weapon shopping, which I think that comes
out in this week's video.
That was great.
Yeah, I'm glad that you appreciated that.
So, yeah, you know, just spread the knife love.
Yeah.
Now, I just need to get you guys into archery and we're cooking.
We have close form and long range combat.
dialed in.
Yep.
I'm sweating.
I was so nervous watching Ken handle that sword.
That was scary.
But seriously, Ken, hang that above your mantle or something.
I think I got the perfect spot for my boathouse right, right behind the bar.
Perfect.
And if we go in there and start messing it up, he'll start stabbing Ben with it.
You might need to lock that thing up.
From himself or from, like from us?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why after three beers.
Well, I just change the door codes every once in a while.
Yeah, but what happens when we get in?
Well, it'll just be up high enough where you can't reach it.
It is true.
He does change his door codes very frequently.
So, like, a week prior, I went into his house to go, like, look at something and see
if I wanted to get it for mine.
And then, you know, he had given me the code and all that.
I go back literally five days later with Alex and Tint and Angela.
Like, they wanted to see it, whatever.
Change the code already.
Code was changed.
But the thing that you didn't do is the builder didn't lock the back door.
So we just slid that open, walked in.
Actually, when you guys visited, you didn't, you just didn't put the coat in right.
When are you moving in, Ken?
I had some delays, so looking like next month now.
Shoot.
I saw you started firing some stuff in there, though.
Yeah, it's mostly full of furniture.
Just need the carpet.
What are you going to do when the fish house has to come off in a couple weeks?
I might just have to sleep on the couch because I got the couch.
Nice.
Just don't have the bedroom carpet.
It could put the bunk.
beds back in my room.
I mean, if you need, in a pinch.
I'll pass.
I'll just sleep on my couch.
Couldn't pay the man to do that.
Ev did bring up the fact that we did remove his bunk bed privileges,
and he was wondering what he had to do to get them back.
You want your bunk beds back?
I was just curious to what I did to have my privileges revoke.
You know, you...
Everyone was just collectively like,
you're too old for that.
When we took your bedroom apart to turn...
Turn it into a gym.
We were putting it back together.
We were like, you know, I think at this point in Evan's age,
he doesn't need to be sleeping on bunk beds anymore.
I think it's time for him to grow up to a normal bed.
What I thought, Ev, was like, for the most part,
nobody actually slept on it.
You should just, like, build a custom shelf above it
since that's kind of what you used it for.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was more of a shelf.
Functional.
Slash bracing mechanism.
Yeah.
You could set up, like, monkey bars above it.
Yeah, he wants the jungle gym aspect of it.
What if you were to, like, hang some ropes and shit above the bed?
That would look crazy.
And you can't, you can't, you walk in and you see bunk beds, you're just like, oh, no big deal.
Man, child.
Only kind of crazy.
Yeah.
He got a bunch of handcuffs and shit hung from the ceiling.
There was so much room for activities with the bunk beds.
Oh, F, are you a gymnast?
Are you a gymnast?
Are you training for something?
Do you want like monkey bars from the bed to the bathroom now?
Sure.
Honestly, if you could figure out how to orchestrate that, like run it.
I would love...
F gets up in the middle of the night, just monkey bars over and go to take the pee.
Monkey bars over, takes the pee goes, swings back.
He doesn't even drop down to pee.
Dude, Ken, if you should try to set my room up where, like, I could fully use it,
but, like, not have to touch the floor for, like, months.
Like, you know, to play the longest game of floor is lava in his.
history.
You can hardly see the floor in there.
It's so messy.
True.
Because I don't have a top bunk to just throw all my shit on.
I actually do feel bad.
I didn't know that you love the bunk bed that much.
So I think we could, we could probably get that back.
Do they make, like, super high-end bunk beds?
Yeah.
You know, or are they all just kind of like novel?
That's what he needs.
Yeah.
Well, they're made for, like, no one over 100 pounds to be sleeping on the top bunk.
No, that fucker was good for way over 100 pounds.
I promise.
It seemed like you'd look at it wrong.
It's just going to fall into a million pieces.
It didn't.
It only had like two actual pegs holding the bunk bed on.
Speaking of pegs.
You want to know something?
Depends if Dalton was in it when you were not.
Oh my.
Oh, my.
You know, I was, speaking to Ken's house,
I was talking with the security camera guy who put all of our cameras in at the shops.
he was also putting them in at Ken's house.
And I don't know how it came up.
He just says, oh, yeah.
Yeah, Ken's house.
And I'm like, what about Ken's house?
No one's going to be able to get within a mile of that place without him knowing.
It's just like, yeah, sounds about right.
Absolutely.
I got cameras on every little corner of that joint.
None of us are surprised.
And do you think that's going to stop anything?
I'm going to know what's happening.
You could have saved so much money by just hiring a security guard.
I think he would stop stuff from happening.
The camera, you're just going to watch it.
That is true.
That is true.
Well, you'll know what happened.
Believe me, it's going to be on video.
Yeah.
Are you throwing a housewarming party?
It's going to be the Kentucky Derby.
Yeah.
The housewarming party.
So yes.
You didn't invite them.
You obviously got invited to.
The invite hasn't been sent out yet because it's not.
Well, I got my invite.
I haven't been invited.
It's one of those things you grow up.
You should not come.
do a party you're not invited to but that one i just might the invites will go out next month and then
can isn't in two weeks well the kentucky derby's not till man i'm just kidding imagine i might just like
stand across the road with my backpack full of coer's lights like at a college party when you're
trying to figure out how to get in oh oh a party over there you you know anyone like when some one of your
friends pulls up that like is going to be like hey you think you could get me in yeah we should do
You think you can get me in?
We show, we show up and there's security standing there with a little iPad.
It's so funny.
You're not on the list, actually.
You are in the list.
Blacklist.
I was going to say, get out.
Get them out of here.
It's not actually a list to tear you away.
It's just like five pictures of people not to let in.
Let me see if you're on the list.
It's awesome.
Get in a robe.
Evan.
Mike, Shred 80.
It's mostly just Evan and Shred 80.
Really?
They're going to, they don't seem correct.
Well, Gavin is like a little tornado when he gets a little alcohol in him.
He just starts breaking stuff unintentionally.
You just give him the samurai sword.
I wouldn't have a house left if he had that thing.
Then why wouldn't you want me hanging out?
Well, you instigate trouble around you.
What happened with my Lincoln at Mike's wedding?
The other fellow you mentioned drove it.
And you were in the front seat of that car as well, instigating it?
No, I was guilty by association.
I was just hanging.
What was that?
I had like a red Chevy that I swear the two of you hit.
It was a red Corvette.
Maybe you should be.
Also, not me.
It's like Chevy.
All these bad things are shreds.
I just happened to be along for the ride.
I couldn't stop them if I wanted to.
I didn't want to, but I couldn't have.
Cormoran was on fire for a couple months when Shreds was here.
We had to let it cool down a little bit.
People have been asking where Shred 80's been
It was too hot
Send him back on the area was too hot
It had to cool down
Got a lot of knife snapping
Yeah, people that are listening
Ryan snap your knife
Kind of make me feel like you don't like yours
Oh no dude I've been snapping
I just don't think you could see
I've been snapping like crazy
I actually got a lot better back in the box
He didn't put in his pocket
I might have lost it
He already lost it
Is it this one?
Oh, what's that one?
I've already stolen it
Oh great
Ken, let me tell you with that samurai sword
With great power
it comes great responsibility.
Yeah, it's got to be locked up in a spot where nobody can access it.
I think a glass case.
Nice, right.
Yeah, I can.
I think you make a nice big Sunday ham and you carve it up for us, real nice.
A good meal tomorrow for lunch.
Maybe enough for lunch, but, uh, oh, you can't cook lunch around here.
Otherwise, Jen will kick your butt.
It's true.
And we won't like it because it's not going to be as good as.
Well, no, I mean, Jen can cook the ham.
Yeah.
Just kind of carves it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't mean any disrespect.
there. I just want to see Ken's craftsmanship. This is a nice knife. Thank you, C.J.
I'm going to, I'm actually going to start. Just carry it with you everywhere you go.
Yeah, I'm going to start wielding this. Through the airport. Should we start taking Bets,
who the first one to lose a finger around here is? Because I...
With his new knife. I was just, that's exactly what I was going to say. CJ, you want to tell him
about your new knife? Yeah. What do they call that again? Butterfly. Butterfly knife.
Yeah, so Darius, these are merchandise warehouse manager. Great guy. Found out, obviously everyone knows.
I'm into knives.
He came, gave me a butterfly knife as a gift earlier today.
I don't know.
I'm kind of scared of it, to be honest.
Do this thing.
Yeah, it's freaking sharp, too, dude.
You don't need to be scared of it.
You just need to respect it.
Yeah.
It's just sharp, man.
I don't know if I'm always swinging it around, spinning it with my fingers and stuff.
I was like, how often have you got yourself with this?
And he's like, well, right here, right here, right here.
That scars.
Right there, right there.
And I was like, wow, you really love swinging this thing around, huh?
Think about it, CJ.
Like, anyone.
can flick the knife.
I mean, it's really just
a little slower, a little quicker.
There's not too much variation.
But you can do some serious stunts
with a butterfly knife.
I think that would be big for the program.
Butterfly knives are like the equivalent
of like a Rubik's cube.
I was going to say numb chucks.
Yeah, I was going to say it's kind of like numbs.
Rubik's cute.
Well, okay, what I was going to say,
because if you can do nunchucks,
a lot of it's flashy,
but you could still defend yourself with them.
Same goes for the butterfly knife.
And?
But the Rubik's cube, like,
all the flashy, flicky, flicky, it's not going to, like, save you from anything.
So if you can do a Rubik's Cube, everyone's like, that's sick, but it doesn't really accomplish anything.
I think Rubik's cubes used to be, like, more impressive back before YouTube.
Because now any of us, if you just sit down and watch a YouTube video, and you had a Rubik's Cube, you could figure out how to solve it.
But obviously the speed is the biggest thing.
But I've seen even insane ones where, like, someone will, like, close their eyes, like, mess it up,
They know.
Look at it and then close their eyes again and then solve it.
It's crazy.
In like 15 seconds.
Yeah,
I can't even begin to comprehend how they can do that.
Same.
I know that,
you know, whatever,
there's a way to learn how to do it.
Remember those speed cups back in gym class?
I had those.
Those things I hated back when we would do the speed cups in elementary.
Alex and I were just talking about it the other day.
She liked it.
I hated it.
I was like,
that's terrible.
You're just playing with cups in gym class.
It was so boring.
The only thing worse than that.
That was we had to do line dancing.
Oh.
That was also pretty boring.
Okay, see, I'm glad.
So that was a standard curriculum thing.
That was middle school, wouldn't it?
We didn't do no dancing.
Mike was crying.
Polly was a no, what's it called?
No dancing town.
The best things to come out of the Speed Cups was the dude or the chick saying,
oh my God, for the drop before the Skrillick song.
That was the best thing to come out of this.
I wonder how Speed Cups is doing.
Like, it was a legitimate sport with competitions and everything.
I didn't think we should.
should be doing it in gym class.
However, it was satisfying.
When you stacked a few perfect pyramids and then you perfectly just
like it was, it was satisfying, but like it's not what we should have been doing in
Fiat.
So dumb.
I wonder if they still do that.
You guys were learning dances in gym class, not music class.
Yes.
Yeah, you did dance like line dancing.
It was line.
They played country music in the gym and they had the lines for the basketball court and
you do the whatever the hell you do.
This may be surprising, giving my current career path.
But I was actually also, along with my no dribble rule in basketball,
I was set to the back of the choir.
Because I went through like a confidence phase where I like thought I should sing.
And I was actually,
Oh, I didn't know that.
A confidence phase where you're like, I should start singing or you were just already.

You sing in music class? In music class in late elementary school, I think I probably heard someone sing well.
And I was like, oh, I can sound like that.
Yeah.
And then I started singing loud, and my teacher pulled me aside and was like, maybe don't sing so loud.
You were just screaming like your genre of music.
So they were trying to suppress your inner quad.
Exactly.
And so now I've spent the last 20 years refining my skills now, which is streaming on Spotify and on Apple Music now.
Let's check in on my monthly listeners, by the way.
How many monthly listeners you got?
Whoa.
Basement Riot.
it.
That's his new single.
271 monthly listeners.
It's pretty good.
How many plays?
It just shows a less than a thousand.
So that stuff on repeat, but we're getting that.
You got to start TikTok dancing to your music and get that shit popping you.
What should the quad TikTok dance be?
I can.
I'm excited that we have the Ken TikTok.
Okay, but keep in mind, we were only able to put it on to SoundCloud right away.
So right after that bit we put it on SoundCloud.
and Hummerhart has 16K plays.
That's not back.
That's expected some cheddar soon.
What percentile is that put them in?
Probably above most of them.
Top 1% of SoundCloud listeners?
No.
Not even close.
I was saying, sorry.
It's like the top five.
Top 99.
There's no chance.
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
Grats, you made it out of the bottom 1%.
SoundCloud kind of fell off.
Yeah, I remember like 20, probably 16 through
2019, that was like the only place I listened to music
was just SoundCloud, but like there was a bunch of rappers that came out of that.
Like obviously, Lil Pump, T Grizzly, 6-9.
Big underground rap or EDM, you had to have some.
Skies, bro, skies.
Little skies, sorry.
Skis.
I don't know.
Little skis.
Little skis.
Just fucking short skis.
Little trick skis.
Like, Mike, you only listen to stuff on SoundCloud for the longest time.
Every time I look up an EDM.
song that I would want,
it wasn't on any of the other platforms.
I don't know.
Here we go.
I love when someone sends you a song.
You click the song and then they play related songs.
They were the first to do that.
They were first to do it and arguably still the best.
Spotify's great.
YouTube, for example,
if I click a,
it's a new song,
it's a banger,
I'm loving this.
I kind of want to stay in that genre.
Five songs later,
they're playing me a 350 million view Macmill
song, which is great. I love Mac Miller. But like, it serves me that same song.
It just kind of rounds you back to the mainstream songs. I don't love that.
Hey, Ryan. Yeah, bud. Did a little research. Yeah. Your top 5%.
Actually, I would imagine. Hey, you know how hard it is to get that many views like as a normal
person? It'd be pretty tough. In my world, see just listens. Quad ain't normal. Sorry.
We don't have a music video yet. Yeah. Oh, shit.
Fuck me. Oh, Ryan. No, honestly, I think you got a lot of.
hold back. We'll hold back on the album.
I think we need a music video.
I think we need some new songs. We need more
songs. You need to drop a whole
album. Yeah. You've been doing these like
one off. Dabbles, yeah.
Singles. These singles.
You got to drop your EP.
It's just the taste for the full album.
He's working on it. It's getting cooked up.
It'll be out pretty soon.
Next couple months.
The sleazy agent. Buller hat productions at work.
Polar hat productions. This album
only took 20,000 gallons of water.
to make.
I believe, can I see in the information here?
I had to like type in all my stuff.
Quad, performers, vocals, quad is on the mic.
Production and Engineering, CBD, CJ, and Sources was Mom Chaser Records.
Hey, still got a shout out for that.
Let's go.
Just happy to get some credit, man.
Speaking actually of credit, I got to give Evan.
some credit. I think he's right about helicopters.
What part? I do not want to ride in a helicopter ever again.
Really? I just feel like over the course of the last few months, years in aviation history,
seen a little more bad things happen, which is incredibly sad, obviously. But just you see
helicopter crashes a lot, even that one at the car show. And Greg Godfrey was just in a helicopter.
No, really? Is he okay? He is alive.
And when you see it, you will wonder how the hell is he alive?
No way.
That's so bad.
That's fric.
A Robinson.
I do want to preface, Ryan, I think his wife was in it.
That's crazy, Ryan.
I thought you were going to reference the pretty decent amount that we've seen in the last year.
I didn't know.
And then you hit us with this.
That is terrible.
Yeah, no, she's fine.
All that came out of it was the pilot got a little banged up, that pilot right there.
No, he's in it.
But you're right.
And then his wife, I believe, just had, like, a cut and had to get stitches.
Did they...
Which is crazy.
Yeah.
For this kind of damage.
They haven't released it yet, but the pilot was on the bottom side.
And, I mean, he goes through and shows just how lucky, like, basically he was.
Gosh.
He's mangled up between that stick and the ground.
So, I mean, you know, thank God for that.
That's super scary.
But, like, that scared the shit out of me.
And then also, heavy.
D posted one of up in Utah.
Yeah, that one was...
Because they have it on video.
What happened there again?
They thought it was just like wind and shit, right?
This is the craziest fucking video ever.
Like, I mean, it looks very similar to Snowden.
It's a hard hit.
Yeah.
Man, so, Ben, do you still want to buy a helicopter?
You'd not have to seen all this shit.
Really?
Like, honestly, yeah.
I was hoping you would still.
I'm straight up like I do, I don't want to ride in a helicopter anymore.
I mean, I...
I just see all these things.
And I mean, obviously...
You have a hard enough time driving with the trees and all that.
Right.
No gas station.
You're missing the gas station.
You don't fill up your helicopter.
You're really fucked.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
jokes aside,
like,
yeah,
it's pretty gnarly.
It's high consequence.
Dude,
and I still want to.
I don't want to say,
like,
the dream of it is dead.
Um,
but I've definitely,
like,
been seeing all the,
all the crashes and it,
it does make me very nervous.
Because every single one of these crashes is,
like,
the pilot was extremely,
extremely experienced and been flying aviation for something weird
years like that pilot right there that was an older man like you got to assume he's
yeah and it's it's there's so many factors obviously that play into these these crashes
and a lot of times it's just like fluke accidents and that's i don't want to be like an alarmist
you know like what are you going to not ride in a car because a car accidents that happen more
often than aviation but still i just i don't know i just got an icky an icky
feeling about all of it.
I still think they're cool.
I would love for Ben to own one because then he's paying for it and paying for the fuel and
all that.
But like it just sounds so expensive to me to own.
Like I can't, I couldn't justify it myself.
But it would be pretty sweet.
Like, I mean, essentially you could have a Lamborghini or you could have a helicopter.
Pretty fucking cool, man.
Landing your helicopter at your friend's house.
No doubt.
You're going to the gym.
Like, the only problem is you're going to spend probably a thousand bucks just to go
to the gym. It's a fly to the gym to work out. It'd be so much money. Yeah, it's very expensive.
I have no idea what it would cost. There's a lot more, like, use cases for getting your pilots
license for a plane. I think as far as, like, what we could do. I think for you, you'd probably
use a helicopter more frequently than a fixed wing plane, but I think a fixed wing plane would be
more useful, if that makes sense. Yeah, you'd be able to fly it farther. My opinion, one day in my life,
probably later when I'm retired, maybe around that.
I would love to get my pilot's license.
Mike, you can't be buying old cheap planes
and cheap helicopters now, though.
You can't be following the suit of your other vehicles.
They're going to have to actually get some good ones.
Right, right, right.
But getting a helicopter license, I have no desire for.
But that's another part.
Okay, so you know how they say...
Try to shit on your dream here, Benny.
I'm sorry.
Well, I mean, Ben's a badass.
I know he's got it.
He's got it.
But you know how they say, before you ride your dirt bike,
like check your chain tension because you know your chain breaking could really be catastrophic
and how often are we doing that like almost never and there's probably other stuff you should check
and you check but that's a big one that could hurt you but the planes and the helicopters like you
actually have to pre-flight check every single time not going through those checklists it's like
life or death like oh you skip like check in is there water in the fuel right that can that can be a
death sentence essentially that's the thing that I probably wouldn't like too is like all that
and you're like,
it's like very serious stuff.
Like,
it's not really like,
and that's why I think that you could do it.
Like,
I genuinely,
in the mental state I'm in right now,
whatever that may be,
I don't think I'm locked in enough
to acquire a pilot's license.
I just don't.
I don't think I'm,
I'm taking life serious enough
for me to be doing that stuff.
I think you do.
I think the thing about it, though,
is like,
you need to be like fully committed to it.
Yeah.
You know, where it's not in like,
I've talked to just so many pilots.
Not for fun.
Over the years of like, yeah, like, I want to do this.
I think it would be sweet.
I think it would be really cool to build up, especially if we got a nice plane and we
can fly and use it for filming these videos.
And with that, you'd probably want another pilot, like hire another pilot to do it with
you.
But I think that it could be extremely useful for us.
100%.
But with that is you can't half ass it in any way.
Where, you know, if you're doing it, you got to do it right.
You got to be fully invested.
You got to be educated.
You've got to be like in the right state of mind.
Not to be played with, especially when you're flying other people.
Right.
Which is the big thing.
I'm not saying that you would do this or really anyone, but you know how like you could be so hungover and you can get in your car and drive home?
It'll probably be just fine, right?
But you can't just be so hung over and get in your plane and fly home.
Oh, you got to be locked in.
Yeah, you got to be dialed in.
Yeah, for sure.
You got to be dialed in.
Dude, Tanner, our shop hand, it's been super nice in February, which is crazy.
and he's out flying his paramotor.
And I'm like, man, he didn't waste much time.
He got a rebuilt last fall, and he wanted to go and fly it.
And it was still freezing.
And he's flying around.
Then I see the engine die.
And he just, you know, you just basically parachute down.
He lands.
I go over to him.
I can't believe you're taking it out.
What happened?
He's like, dude, it keeps dying on me.
I just had this thing rebuilt.
And then he's like, but he was running good when it was running.
He goes, you should buy this thing from me.
And of course, I am intrigued.
I do want to try it.
I might.
I'm not going to put that in stone.
He goes, you should buy this thing from me.
Look how good at him.
It would be pretty fucking cool.
I know.
It would be.
But it's also the same as a plane.
He had like a couple like almost bad accidents last year.
He was doing stunts.
He did.
Yeah.
He did have bad accidents.
He crashed into a telephone pole.
Well, then he had the telephone wires.
Yeah, he had the wing fold on him too.
And he was like struggling to get that out.
And then right after that he sold it or he said he sold it.
No, it was on consignment.
It didn't sell.
So we took it back and said, I'm going to run it again.
You got to have a limited market on a parisail.
The only other person I've met that has one of those doesn't have a finger because of it.
Is that the guy that hit the telephone wire?
No, I'm second guessing.
Was it Tanner?
Tanner hit a power line.
Okay, he did.
And it just swung them up and then he dropped down on his back.
But it does look damn fun.
I got to say that.
And I think it's just when you start pushing the limits.
So you have an open field and you're probably good.
You're just good.
But as soon as you start trying to buzz buildings and stuff and like kind of dumb.
Yeah, that's when it can go.
Well, that's inevitably going to happen.
Yeah, you get comfortable.
I know.
Once you get comfortable.
And I know when that wing folded, he was doing some crazy like loops and stunts.
Like for some reason for me, like I think I feel more comfortable like trying to rip one of those.
Then I do literally getting in a helicopter.
I could see it.
Because it's like you have to perish.
Like you said, the motor died and you just like
and you ride it down.
That's a good point, F.
So like for some reason I feel like,
as long as these ropes and that shoots up there,
like things should be okay.
Would you go skydiving of them?
No.
What intrigues me the most about it is...
Because your shoot's not out when you start.
Yeah.
For some reason, like a paragoner
like where you run off the cliff with the wings.
It's out.
I'm more likely to do that
than to just jump out of the plane
and hope this bundle of shit
in my back opens up properly.
Which should.
I mean, does that kind of make sense?
I used to be interested in that.
And then the more I've grown up, the least interest that I am in that.
Because it's like, yeah, you can fold your parachute up the wrong way and it just doesn't unfold.
I'd have other people fold it for me.
Yeah, but then your life is in their hands.
That's true.
Which is gnarly.
But the intriguing thing to me is that in order to get your solo skydive license, it's not terribly hard, but you need to get it.
You need to acquire it by training.
And really, all it is is jumping out of a plane and,
falling. Anybody can do that, right? And then the parachute comes out and the most of the
training is almost when to pull it, obviously how to pack it, and then flying. But paragliding,
you don't need any license and you just do it. So the only thing different that you don't
need a license for is just the falling part. So like, and anybody can do that. That is funny, actually.
Yeah, for the paraglider, like, he said it's the exact same operation as a parachute. So I don't,
it's just intriguing to me. Like the fact that, like, how cool would it be? What would you want to
if you had a superpower.
I want to fly.
I mean, with a paramotor, you pretty much can.
Well, Mike, Coletus McFarland asked us to race in the Freedom 500, I believe.
And you said that you wanted to do it.
And the prize is...
Oh, really?
You might be...
Be insane.
Did you tell them that I would?
Yeah.
All right.
That's coming up, man.
Is he launched?
Is he...
Is it two or just one person?
This one is just one, race.
The Lumulets is the only one with two.
Have you seen this TikTok video of this guy in his homemade airplane?
See, that guy, he has no fear.
He built his own airplane.
I love the fucking engine hanging off the front of it too.
That's pretty sick.
The primer bulb in the middle just in case you run into a tough scenario.
I mean, it looks pretty sick.
It is crazy.
That's got to be a sweet feeling.
Because flying is a rather simplistic thing.
Like when you actually look at the plane, like it's like, okay, you got your prop and then you pull up.
Is that a ceiling fan on the front?
Can you imagine?
Triple blade.
So this guy actually built his own airplane.
That's cool, dude.
I think it's an ultralight, but I don't know how much his assembly.
The Wright brothers did it.
Why can't you?
Maybe you should build your own airplane, Mike.
Nope.
Negative ghost rider.
I suppose.
Did you guys see that the laws got changed on diesel motors?
I didn't see that, but I did see that they did away.
All the manufacturers did away with the start, stop,
automated when you come to a
why? Really? Why? So they used to get some kind of
emissions credit if their vehicles had that feature. So
point. But all it does is add unnecessary way or tear in an engine. So it's like
over the life of a vehicle it maybe saves a couple gallons of gas over
hundreds of thousands of miles. So it's just and it makes somebody feel
good that oh we're saving a little bit of gas. The other tough part is that they
pulled the need for that off of whatever bill that passed.
But, like, the automakers are still probably going to just leave it in because, like, they're already, like, wired into the computer.
Dude, I hope not.
I think they know that everyone hates them, too.
They're so annoying.
So, annoying.
Well, it's the startup procedure you push.
Start the engine.
Push the start stop button off.
So basically, the EPA recently revoked the legal basis used to regulate vehicle greenhouse gas emissions,
which includes diesel trucks and cars.
That move effectively removed federal tailpipe emission standards tied to climate rules.
Some heavy-duty truck emissions mandates tied to future years like stricter 2027 plus rules are now uncertain or being changed.
Deaf and derate rules change.
This one actually affects real diesel owners and operators.
Trucks used to drop to limp mode fast when deaf failed.
Now EPA guidance says trucks can run thousands of miles with only warnings or mild power reduction instead of instant speed limits.
That would have saved me.
going to Florida. No kidding. Exactly.
For real. The whole deaf thing
is such a waste of resources
because you're paying to transport
all these little fucking plastic containers around.
Nobody's going to recycle that.
That just goes straight in the garbage.
Then they come in this little cardboard box in the outside
which just goes straight in the garbage.
It's just a gigantic waste.
It is. Did you know that deaf can be used
as fertilizer? Somebody said it was
horse piss. So
I think they just call it that.
Emissions, equipment, deletionion is
still illegal federally.
So DPF, EGR
deletes, etc. I mean, but if
they do get rid of it, you get better
miles per gallon, which
then lowers your emissions.
So why is that still a thing?
They say that like
all the plastic jugs
that the death fluid comes in
actually pollutes the earth more
than that's what they say.
Well, that's what they say.
And I don't know if that's true or not. I
haven't looked at the numbers
or the facts, but that's what I hear.
You know, so it's a kind of...
Def fluid is in bed with the politicians.
Yeah.
Not the only fluid in bed with the politicians.
Uh, sorry.
Anyway, you're missing one other one.
It's funny that you guys brought up the start stop feature.
Because Evan and I were scrolling in Facebook reels today or whatever the hell they are.
And check out the new feature on the 2027 links.
Here we're going to show you the start stop feature on the 600 RR.
Here's got the break held in.
And the machine is shut down.
Ready to go?
Ready to go.
Not off the break, machine fires right back down.
The mobiles are always just so behind, man.
So, God, damn.
So what are the odds that they had all this done and, you know, everything's getting put into production?
And then they see this new rule come out that they didn't need them anymore.
They're just like, ooh, what the fuck do we do?
How are you said to French.
Who's asking for that?
Well, Ryan made the good point.
It's nice for talking in between when you stop.
Exactly.
If you're a trail ripper, think of, you pull up next to each other and instead of hollering over your machine and God forbid having to press a button to start moving, you just pull in the break and then it turns off and you can talk and then you can go.
So I saw a thing where also pain in the butt.
The entire snowmobile market, they only saw 120,000 units worldwide.
130 globally I saw.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
How do they have the money to engineer that for a snowmobile?
Like how much are they inflating the prices?
just to have that feature.
I think Canaam's got some money, bro.
Yeah, they're spending money.
You know what is funny, though, is I guarantee, like, Skadu and Canaanam,
and they're always, like, at the forefront for snowmobile technology.
So I guarantee, like, Polaris.
In three years?
Yeah, Polaris is going to have it in a year or two.
And then Ardicat's going to have it in four years.
And, like, they just kind of copy each other.
There'll be like a...
It does seem like they have the most money because they're always at the forefront.
Yeah, they're at the forefront.
Yeah, they're at the start of it.
I agree.
You know, they have like the shot start system, so it's probably like...
It just utilizes that.
And the shot start is the best fucking thing on a snowmobile ever.
I had that on my free ride dang near 10 years ago, and Polaris hasn't caught up to that.
But that is a good system.
And Bombadier, BRP is really good at patenting their stuff.
Obviously, all the OEMs are.
But the shot start is basically an electric start without the weight of a battery.
Yeah.
which is a lot.
You pull it in the morning and go.
Yeah.
It's pretty nice.
That was cool.
But yeah,
I'm sure they were just like,
oh,
we can do this and whatever.
Like,
I don't know.
There's probably like 110 guys on a form asking for it.
Or one guy asked for it.
And then 110 people liked it.
And they're like,
shit,
that's 35% of our buyers market.
We better run that.
We better throw that in.
So,
yeah,
I don't know.
But that's funny that you brought it up.
I mean,
useful maybe.
Was there anything else?
I just saw that they just released a bunch of new snowwheel.
Yeah, nothing too crazy.
Suspension stickers.
Well, there is, like, dropped where you can, like, make, basically you can, like, build a mod sled,
but it has, like, a factory warranty.
And then Skidu made a factory.
Like, from the factory, you can build a...
Yeah, you can, like, almost pick your, like, wrap colors.
You can pick your seat cover color, like with Seaco and...
Pick your shocks.
And you can pick your shocks.
Like, a lot more customizable.
And I always forget...
Which is a cool idea.
There's a lot of, like, guys is a little older than us that are, like...
Yeah, you gotta have that warranty.
Yeah.
Which I get.
Or just don't know.
Like, they can just go on a website or sit down at the dealer and, like, check nine boxes.
So it's like, if you want to get crazy shocks, to me, I'm like, I love the whole, like,
oh, ordering these shocks and put them on.
Because shocks are easy to put on.
But a lot of people are like, I don't want to do all that.
I don't want to pay someone to do it either.
I just want it to come to my door, be ready, or my dealer.
But yeah, nothing too much new.
Polaris dropped.
They got a 200 minisled that is identical to the Yamaha, the Skadoo, and the Articat.
But someone made a good point.
They're like, why do they make the same one?
And then someone's like, well, they're giving business to Articat
because I believe Articat makes it.
Oh, it doesn't Yamaha make them?
Yamaha makes the motors.
Articat made the chassis.
It's a lot for the amount of volume they're going to push through that.
It's a lot of engineering work to make that.
Right.
So you might as a little like just team up with all the other manufacturers
and just make your own like plastic around.
And being that the kids who are racing them, there's so many regulations on them.
Anyway, it makes sense.
I was wondering if they were going to do like an electric snowmobile.
Like a good electric thing.
I know like Skidu has like their trail.
Dude, I think they need to just keep them gas.
They do?
I think they got at least 10 years worth of technology
before an electric snowmobile is a viable option.
I mean, it's just the battery technology isn't there yet.
Just speaking from being around them all the time,
watching gas powered motors,
whether it's a dirt bike, a snowmobile, a car,
or whatever the fuck it is, it's way more fun.
even if it's not as fast, not as torquey, like, it's just, I don't know, I just think they're better.
And I think even the listeners or viewers, it seems like a lot of our viewers are kind of the same way.
Like, you got to respect the performance, but like.
Battery technology in cold weather just isn't there yet.
And it's just, in 10 years they might figure it out.
It's going to inevitably happen, I think.
It's just that tech doesn't exist.
Like eventually cars are going to all be self-driving and we'll be telling like our grandkids.
They're like, so how'd you get around?
Well, you'd just get in the car and drive it.
They'd be like, what?
You would drive the car?
What?
Gas powered car with other, well, then there's other people.
And, well, what would happen?
Well, you'd fucking get in crashes every now and then, I guess, I don't know.
What if someone drove off the road?
Yeah, that happened, yeah.
It was powered by thousands of tiny explosions inside of our metal block.
We composed dinosaurs.
Pretty sick if you start talking about it.
It would be like an eye robot when he digs out the crotch rocket.
And then, like, this gas?
I think about that every time.
That's a great movie.
I think about it all the time too, for some reason.
That and I am legend.
Those are two movies I'm on a watch again.
Have you guys seen that Elon Musk was like push him for, you know,
inhabiting,
Inhabiting, Inhabiting.
Inhabiting.
Jesus.
One more time, Benny, you got this.
Coffee cup.
Coffee. Inhabiting.
Yep.
Mars.
Thank you.
And then he's shifted to another moon.
Why?
Honestly, it makes sense.
He just said...
If you're going to build an airtight thing.
Yeah, well, he was actually saying that, you know, to like get to Mars,
it has to be close enough and it's only close enough, close enough.
I think it still takes super long time, but it's only close enough.
I want to say every 26 months.
And so to...
Makes sense.
Yes.
Well, isn't the moon really dark?
Only the dark side of it.
Yeah, but isn't it just kind of always dark on the moon?
I guess I have no idea.
It's the same as the sun.
No, it's just reflecting the sun.
The same as Earth.
Sorry.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
I don't know.
I don't want to live on the moon.
I'm just going to say it.
I don't care what happens.
I mean a vacation though?
I'd check it out.
I'd check it out.
I'd check it out.
Heaven finds out they made a casino on the moon.
Gotta go hit it.
Fuck, I'd play $25 blackjack hands there.
Think about how many times around that roulette ball could you?
I was just going to say, I don't really like airplanes,
but I'll take a rocket ship to play red 18 on the moon.
Did you see like the Mr. Bees video?
I don't even know what the premise of the video was,
but he tours a whole like self-sufficient.
There's like trees, everything's airtight
and the trees make the oxygen.
And that's what they're good.
We're going to put it on Mars,
but now probably the moon.
Which makes sense because the moon's way closer.
And we've maybe been there.
At what point are you just like straying so far
from like natural conditions that humans should be living in?
I think at that point.
breathing real air, eating real food.
We've already like strayed that away from that.
Everyone sitting on their phone.
His big thing is like, you know, if something happens to the, yeah, I get it.
Then it's going to keep human species alive.
And it's going to keep pushing technology forward where you don't know what kind of
advancements they're going to come up with to make that work that you might be able to
integrate in your daily life 10 years from now.
Like duct tape came out of what the moon missions or the space program.
And duct tape is used every day.
Love that stuff.
Well, thing about Starlink now, too.
You know, like Elon starts going on this space mission,
and then Starlink is born out of it.
You're right.
It's crazy to think, though, that, like, you know, in our lifetime,
people are going to be living up on the moon.
You think so?
100%.
How long would take Gavin and Big Ranch?
Three weeks?
Put a man on the moon in a house?
Three weeks, four weeks?
I think if we would tell them to...
They'd figure out a way.
That's for sure.
And they'd get it done in three weeks.
What's the...
Like, let's just say you hollies.
on one Elon's rockets and was planning to go to moon.
How long is the journey?
Like how long of a flight is it?
It's not that long.
I would say it would take them four weeks because they'd have to,
they'd have like a little setback and have to wait for parts.
Yeah, you're right.
For the wrenches, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, figure out how long it is because, like, if it's like a long time on the plane,
I don't think it's going back and forth from it.
To get to the ISS, I think it's like an afternoon, essentially,
because it would.
What's the ISS?
A couple of, real space station.
That's crazy.
CJ, it takes three days.
Three days.
I guess that's 240,000 miles away.
That's crazy.
Me and my freight liner could do it and do.
A couple of roller dogs.
1800 miles a day.
I could do it and do it out these regulations.
But it would take six to nine months to get to Mars.
Wow.
That's just unrealistic.
Yeah, no one's going to sit on that thing.
Yeah, screw that.
That's not even going to happen.
Honestly, the moon makes way more sense.
Because again, that tech they're building is just like,
It's the same.
You can't breathe on Mars and you can't breathe on the moon.
It's the same.
So do you think buying Tesla stock?
That's a stupid question, but would that, like, is Tesla?
I don't even want to ask it on here.
Is Tesla?
It's got its own Tesla, Twitter, and SpaceX, I think we're going to merge?
Maybe that was just a joke.
Do you think real estate on the moon is going to be affordable?
Probably not, dude.
I think only the rich are going to the moon.
If Earth is collapsing and everyone's in this big rush to get to the moon to survive,
it will only be the richest of the rich.
Like, that's just the truth.
Was that movie, was it Elysium where it was like all the rich people left Earth?
And then the people left on Earth were basically just trying to fend for themselves.
Was that that movie?
I haven't seen it.
You know what's crazy, though, is one day you're going to be scrolling YouTube.
And Mr. Beast is going to have, or some creator is going to have a video like going to the moon.
Oh, yeah, Mr. Bees is for sure going to the next couple years.
One day there's going to be people living up on the moon.
on the moon, watching the news, seeing what's happening on Earth, like in the United States.
You know, it's just like...
I wonder what moon news would be like.
Dude, I'm just not interested in living on the moon.
Can't tell me.
I mean, if the Earth is collapsed, I'm going down with the ship.
Really?
Just not really interested.
It's collapsing and I have the option.
I'm going to the moon.
But it's like, do you have to bring everything to the moon?
No, you're probably just going as yourself and starting to bring the order.
Yeah, you're starting fresh.
You don't bring the piano, you know?
You know what I would equate?
The moon to?
It depends how old I am.
Let me.
Sorry.
It's like everything's going to work.
It's going to be self-sufficient once you're there.
I can't even wrap my head around this.
Isn't there going to be a gas station with roller dogs?
Yeah.
Because if there ain't, I ain't fucking going.
Exactly.
If they're like, yeah, if you stay on Earth, you're going to die like in the next month,
I would go to the moon.
But if you can stay on Earth and you might make it 10 years, I'd stay on Earth.
I don't know.
I just feel like the moon, like by the time that you have the option.
To go to the moon.
It's going to be fairly advanced.
They're going to clearly have colonized it and have things going on there.
Where I equate it to it's like what Saudi Arabia is doing.
Like by building all these manmade islands and they're building out all these different towns
that essentially it was just a desert 25 years ago and now there's full on skyscrapers coming out.
I guess if it turns out like Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia or sorry, if it turns out like Dubai,
Dubai is pretty sick.
Yeah, Dubai.
I've never been there, but it does look pretty sick.
And I'm not really like a city guy.
Like, I don't like going to Minneapolis or really any big city.
But Dubai does look pretty sick.
Maybe it'll be like Fallout where you just throw you in a freezer.
And when somebody's ready to unthi, they just come unthi.
God, I wouldn't want to do that, though, either.
I'd rather just...
I'll just fucking get it over with at that point.
Yeah, Dick, who knows, you know?
Like at SpaceX, you know, they're building these massive rockets.
and these rockets can, you know, go up and then land and not be destroyed.
And so they're reusable and they're hoping to have like thousands of trips going to the moon.
A lot to think about.
Because I think there can only be like a couple hundred people per rocket.
Just think of like the people you'll be competing against in terms of trying to get up there.
So they're going to be charging insanely high prices because it's everyone on Earth,
not just America, trying to probably go up there.
Okay.
If Earth is collapsing, you know, and there's only...
So many, I don't think influencers are going to be.
I was trying to think of how much space the moon has.
Like, can the moon realistically, if every single person,
almost 8 billion people went to the moon, could it fit them?
And the Earth diameter is almost 8,000 miles.
The moon is 2,200.
But the moon doesn't have any water on it, right?
So the Earth land area is 57.5 million square miles.
and the moon area is 14.5 million square miles.
How are not that much smaller?
That's new,
that's new information to me, actually.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, if the moon doesn't have water,
that's like the biggest problem right off.
It doesn't have, like, ice or something on it, though?
It doesn't have water.
Like, none of this makes sense.
Like, can we go mine?
Like, are there precious metals?
Can we drill for all, like,
all the things that make Earth livable?
Like, if there's none of that there,
they're just going to fly stuff up to the moon.
Like, I can't wrap my head around it.
I think it's pretty,
far-fetched, but interesting to see.
It does seem far-fetched.
Seems like a pipe dream.
People live in Las Vegas, and there's barely any water.
Yeah, but a couple of miles,
whatever, somewhere, not,
we're going to run a pipe to the moon?
I could see Big Ken moving to the moon.
Like, I don't get, I don't know.
One of the first as soon as he could afford it.
And he's bringing all of his friends with him.
And we're going to find out as soon as he like,
he posts like a picture of his new house up there.
And we're like, holy shit, did Ken move to the moon?
Moon tax free?
You move in there for tax incentives
If there's tax incentives
Tax advantages
Living on the moon
Just think about what kind of government's going to run the moon
Like is there
Obviously there's going to probably have to be
Some kind of system put in place
It'll be like international waters
You know that there's going to be moon wars
Yeah fighting over moonland
Can you imagine? Yeah they're going to try to conquer
Are we going to have space dollars?
Crypto
It's going to be big dollars
Space bucks
It'll be V bucks
Sheckles
Rana so you get a lot of V bucks
Hash coins.
Hach coins.
A universal currency.
Bring hash coins to the moon.
Great point.
I think we all were aware of that
and thinking of that in the back of our heads.
But yeah, the whole no water thing, I agree.
It's like how realistic is it?
How are they going to make course?
There's no water.
Yeah, if everything has to come from Earth
to, like, build society on the moon,
like it doesn't seem sustainable.
And it's like riding,
Like all the riding we do.
How are they going to put the lithium ion vapes on the rockets?
Is it going to be in your checked luggage or your carry on?
You know you can't put it in your check luggage.
Maybe the vapes were all just a big ploy.
Get the people addicted and those people aren't going to be able to go to the moon.
Oh, wow.
Here we go, Ev.
Three main ways.
Mining ice.
Ice.
So there is ice.
People are going to be like, oh, great, there's already ice on the moon.
How do you build a house?
Okay, Eniglu, I answer my own question.
Continue.
Evans liked the way you think.
We don't need the water for building.
I mean, I guess you might get thirsty.
I mean, I'm going to hammer, but.
Second way, recycling.
Like the air.
We're great at that on Earth.
Recycling what?
There's not, if there's water.
I'll tell you.
Recycling.
Sweat.
Yeah.
Breath moisture.
What?
And urine.
You are pretty good at fog in the glass, Ev.
So this is just water.
98% of water is recycled on the International Space Station.
Wow.
These bring up a full bladder and piss once.
Any other, anything else?
Like, can you build a whole civilization on moon dust?
Moon dust.
Like, what's your house in the infrastructure?
What is that built out of?
Well, let me ask.
I'm just, I don't know.
I think those are probably going to be brought from Earth.
So if the whole thing is reliant on Earth and then Earth crumbles, then what, you get a little bit extra?
And then you're going to.
You know, you should be on some committee to raise these questions.
Ev is pretty good at playing devil's advocate.
He's super cynical, but I was telling Ev this the other day.
I was like, you were...
Use the real words what you said.
It was like a three-word phrase.
You were about to say dumbest, I think.
I said, you can be one of the dumbest humans that I know of decisions that you make,
under the influence for most of them.
He's genuinely one of the smarter people I know.
You're very, yeah, you are.
Pretty logical, yeah.
Statistically, you are the most intelligent.
But also.
He's very, like, thought through.
Like, he thinks through things.
Like, people would think that you're just, like, so reckless and manic and, like, you're not thinking about anything.
But it's really only on the liquor.
You actually think about everything pretty well through.
He just doesn't care when he's on the liquor.
That's the answer.
Yeah.
And then sometimes, but, like, some of your decisions that we sit here and we go,
how did he make that decision?
You have those moments.
you're two very very opposites well ben nobody's perfect
i tell people all the time like that don't know evan if they ask about him like oh i'm like no
he's actually you'd be surprised he's pretty smart he is like yeah like i think people maybe
think you're like just this fucking maniac or which you kind of are but ben described it you're
very thought through and like you're calculated and uh but yeah then you do have those moments
where you just throw care out the window and you just roll the dice
It's all about balance.
Yeah.
A very balanced life.
Well, Mike, thanks for having us.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's been so fun.
It's fun every single week having you guys on.
And I just want to let you guys listening at home know that we're giving away two TRXs.
So, CBOStv.com.
We got plenty of merch to choose from.
And just go check it out and get entered if you would like the chance of winning one of those badass trucks.
Every $5 you spend gets you one entry.
Thank you, Ken.
Be careful with those knives, boys.
And they look amazing with those lifting wheels on them.
Yeah, they do look good.
Hey, thanks for asking, thanks for asking me to be your best man.
Good bet, Ben.
Holy smokes.
I know I'm excited.
Ryan, you're off the batch party planning this time.
Damn, oh, yeah.
And Ben's on it.
Yeah.
You better not fuck it up.
You have set the bar pretty high, Ryan.
You've done a good job.
I'll hit up, Jay.
Make sure you have a cook.
Mr. Lourdes.
Get some brisket.
Yeah.
Okay.
CJ was mentioning that he, like, obviously, wants
to film it, fun to make a YouTube video out of it.
It'd be funny if you're just sitting there, you're like,
I cannot think what to do for CJ's Bachelor Party.
And then we're like, well, we should film it and make a YouTube video.
And then all of a sudden, Ben's got 10,000 ideas.
Yeah, we got some ideas.
We got some plans.
Heck yeah.
We got some plans.
We got a couple coming up.
Mine and CJ.
It would be fun for you to not tell us what we're doing.
You just need to pack a bag for this kind of climate.
I like that.
Who is this guy?
Kind of different on Bachelor.
parties.
He's different as a samurai sword owner.
Kay, you took care of all the flights.
We're just showing up and you're telling us where we're going.
That would be super fun.
That would be good.
Hard to pack for, but, you know.
I could adapt.
I could adapt.
Yeah.
Also, I'm just picturing you ordering flights for like 15 people.
You would need Ken in on that.
We need a PJ.
Yeah.
Do I need my parkout or my swim trunks?
Bring your little Borat outfit.
Does both
That is now a picture of Evan in that little green thing
Is now the background of our group chat
Yes and it's hilarious
It's so hard because I love it
I open up the group chat in public
And like I was on an airplane the other day
Opened it up and was reading the messages
And then I got to the bottom where the messages open
Like the picture up
So you can see the picture opens up
to all. And I was like, oh, I can't be looking at that. I was doing that the other day with
some guys that were working on my house. I was like, they're like, yeah, yeah, you know what
this is supposed to look like, whatever. Oh, yeah, I actually have a picture of it. They all get
behind me right as I'm opening my photos. I'm like, oh, boy. And I got two guys on both side.
I'm shush, and it's just all these pictures of Evan running around my grandparents' house naked.
They're probably like, what the fuck is up with this guy? Because they're already confused about me.
And then, oh, right, right here, right here, you know.
Has Jake's video dropped?
Of what?
With Cody?
Yeah.
And Brandon?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, you guys got to go watch that.
Jake's video, we, uh, long story short.
We used the suits.
We reused them and made Cody and Jake's filmer Brandon wear them and it's just a gift
that keeps on giving.
Brandon's hilarious, man.
Yeah.
Brandon, the filmer is hilarious, man.
I'm a little worried that they got burned.
He quit sexual harassment in the workplace.
No, I'm talking about the green suit.
Oh, I think I've seen them around.
We can buy new ones.
I don't think we need to reuse them.
after Evan Ducks me.
Also, what was
that?
The leather one?
Yeah.
Where'd you see that?
There's a leather one?
Yeah.
What did you see that?
Was that not supposed to?
No, you.
Okay.
No, you could.
That was just on the back.
Okay, okay.
Let me show.
I need to show you guys.
So there was a worse option.
CJ sends.
A loin cloth?
We were trying to find them.
And then CJ goes to like a sex store and he found the leather one.
And he sends me a picture and he goes,
I think this might be too aggressive.
And I was like, and the green ones are.
Bro.
that is crazy.
That is crazy.
Yes, that is too aggressive.
So you guys want to know?
Wait, do you have it?
Yes.
Yeah, it's at the farm.
So get this.
I'll tell the story on it.
So we're going to do the Super Bowl segment.
And Ben and I kind of have this whole,
this is what we're going to have as the punishment.
And I was looking all over trying to find something like what we ended up using,
except I couldn't find that.
And that was the closest thing.
So Ben's like, well, go to this, that sex.
store or whatever and see if you can find something.
So I park.
It's like, I'm like, is someone going to see me walking in here?
Like, it's kind of embarrassing.
I walk in.
It's dead silent.
I'm like, uh, hello, hello.
Some lady pops up.
Oh, hey.
And then like, she's just like, I'm like, hey, yeah.
So I'm looking for and she just like interrupts me and goes, a masturbator.
And I'm like, uh, no, no.
No.
I, I'm actually looking for like some like underwear.
Guessing what?
the person came in for it, a sex story is really fun.
Yeah, she jumped in, told me, no, no, no.
And then, like, she started, yeah, thank God she didn't say that.
Then I would probably have been questioned what I was looking like.
But, uh, so then we go, she brings me back, starts running me through the things.
I'm like, none of these are really like that.
They're a little aggressive is what I was thinking.
But the Super Bowl was starting in probably two hours.
So I was like, whatever.
I'm just going to grab this thing and we'll have to run this.
So in that sore.
some crazy stuff.
Crazy stuff.
Like it makes sense why the male rate for having sex has gone down.
That's all I got to say.
Like, what's in there?
Full, like looking dolls.
Things that do the stuff for you.
Like that look like a real person.
Is that a real statistic?
Or men having less?
I mean, we can pull it up.
But basically, like, there's a small group.
I don't know exactly the percentage.
Maybe it's like 10% of the men are having all the sex and like,
or maybe not 10.
Maybe it's like 30.
Like getting all the chicks and having sex and then like it's not like an even spread.
Pretty soon it's going to be the top one person.
And they're basically saying because of like all the stuff out there that a lot of guys don't want to go through the work of actually going in like picking up a woman.
Say you're a single guy.
Like you don't want to go and hit on a chick or actually try starting a relationship because it's just easier to use your hand or in this case full on by a pretty much real looking person.
I didn't touch them because I felt like that had been weird.
but I was like,
looking around.
I'm like,
holy crap,
this is insane.
So anyways,
I'm checking out now.
I'm checking out.
And all of a sudden,
this,
like, old man comes walking out of,
like,
the basement.
There's, like,
this basement stairway.
I, like,
here's something.
A movie room?
That's what it was.
I'm, like,
confused.
I'm like,
where the fuck did that guy
just come from?
Because he was,
like, old,
and he, like,
had his hands.
He was like,
see you.
And she's like,
yeah,
see you later.
And then,
like,
I was kind of confused.
I'm like, where is that guy?
Is he living here?
Like, what the fuck?
She goes, there's a movie room downstairs.
It's, I think she said it was like three bucks for 20 minutes.
So basically there's a bunch of movies in there.
There's a bunch of movies in there.
Like, you know, this is, hence why it's an old guy.
He's probably not familiar with the internet.
And they pop it in and they get to lock the door and use the room for an hour.
Yeah, I didn't know that was her thing.
That's insane that exists.
Evan?
And no, I have certainly not used the movie room.
No, of course I haven't.
What are you looking at me like that for?
No, you are correct.
Going to chat.
On average, young men are putting less partnered sex than they used to,
especially in the United States.
Yeah.
It rose actually in the mid-2000s.
Well, that's good news for us breeders.
Plenty of women out there.
Yeah, so like a smaller portion of the guys are getting all the chicks
if you're like a single dude.
I watched a movie the other day that it essentially was like this dude
bought a robot.
that was like full on.
Is it ex machina or something?
No,
the one with Megan Fox?
No, no.
You're thinking of a machina.
Machina.
Machina.
When it locks him in the room at the end and he dies.
No,
you're thinking,
like she ends up getting like stuck talking like some foreign language or something.
Is that the one you're talking about?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know I do what it's called,
but I've seen the trailer for it and all that.
Okay.
Well, essentially like this, this is it called her?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, it's her?
Yeah.
Kind of.
Lost.
translation? No. Wally?
I think she ends up like...
Yeah.
She ends up like killing him though, doesn't he?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
But essentially it's just like he buys this, this lady to be like his sex doll.
And then he basically gets this lady to commit a murder and kill this super rich dude.
So he could like be with this rich dude's girlfriend.
But like all shit goes south when this lady finds out that she's a robot.
It kills him.
Yeah.
Yeah, actually.
I don't need to watch the movie now.
Sorry, I spoiled it.
Even though I don't know what it's called.
Bro, there was fucking robots in there.
I didn't, I mean, you got to have some bread, I think, for like the full one,
but you could buy half ones, if you know what I'm saying, like just a hinder or even just the torso.
It was, it was insane.
Like, I felt weird, and that lady clearly has seen a lot more weirdos than me, so she was just like.
I mean, these humanoid, like, household servant robots are within the next couple years.
You know, they're going to make the worst dirty versions of them.
And we all know you're going to have a robot.
I'm just saying the worst dirty one, but...
Are you getting a robot, a housemaid robot?
Not yet.
Would make a pretty good housewarming game?
Would you be interested in it pleasing you romantically?
I think that's way too fucked up and weird.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just think these robots, maybe...
It does like the laundry or the dishes, but I don't know.
And on that note.
Just gay.
I don't know.
I just think it's, I don't know.
I think it's dumb.
It's kind of a beta move, though.
It's very a beta move.
Fair.
Yep.
Can someone say a joke so I don't have to go to bed thinking about Ken pounding out his robot housemaid?
Maybe I will just leave on that.
You think we're going to have like a decline in the population eventually.
Like if people are having less and less sex,
like what's the population?
Is it rising or is it technically decreasing?
Dude,
It's going down.
That's actually,
isn't that kind of what they wanted though?
I picture this podcast ending like a really long 80s rock song where it just fades away.
Fades away.
It's just getting quieter and quieter.
They have to keep turning it up and up and up.
I mean, they are saying.
