But how do you feel about being a stepdad? Depends on the kids. I don't know. Bro, tell the camera what you did in them earlier. I was shit myself, but that's fine. A lot of people do that every day. If we didn't get snow this year, all the snowmobile companies were going to go bankrupt. We've kind of exploited your life.

Do you think that it has now helped your love life or possibly made it even? It has actively harmed it. This is getting way too drug out. I have so many photos of Ken and moms up my phone. Why do you think that middle-aged woman are so into you, Ken? I mean, it's a pretty long list. Like, from your point of view, like, I have my own theories, but I'm curious on yours. I think there's a few different factors.

When was the last middle-aged woman you twipped down? Dilton, you can shut the hell up over there. Let's hear your factors, Ken. I don't know. I just think there's a few factors. You know, the older women, they like a younger man who's still a little, you know, a little loose. Oh Anything but that

Their moms don't Let me Let me rephrase this They're still They're still in the prime of their life They're not like On the down slope yet You?

Yeah You are Ken You're catching your stride right now I feel like you really are Especially with all these moms Finding out about You know The services that you're providing

It seems like they're just coming in And droves I wouldn't say droves, but there's a steady stream. Do you think that, like, we've kind of exploited your life, you know, your, whatever you want to call, you know, the things you do. Some of its exploitation, some of its fabrication. Okay.

So let's just say we exploited some of your, your things you like to do. Do you think that it has now helped your love life or possibly maybe even? It has actively harmed it. Really? It has actively harmed it. Do you think women are now like, oh, I don't want to, like, get involved with him because then they're, like, afraid they might be put on.

Yes, yeah. More harm than good, though. But lately it's like, it's like two steps back. I'd say it's about some is good, some is bad, about about neutral in the long term. Right now heavily on the bad side. You don't think that us kind of exposing that you are into moms of middle-aged moms has not increased that you're- I'm not into every middle-aged mom, though.

No one expects you to be into every middle-aged mom. Some of this, it's just getting a little too far. Like some of this has been a little exploited a little too heavy and it needs to kind of pump the brakes on this. Like, do you feel like you go to, let's just say, Zorba's, and then they're like, oh, there's Ken. I have a very clear shot with him because he's in the middle-aged women. Do you think that has turned up those occurrences?

That, yes. But I'm not necessarily some of these middle-aged moms. I'm not looking for some of them. I'm looking for a little younger and then all these middle-aged moms just keep flocking to it. Like they almost expect you. Because we've played it up a little bit. Because it's been played up super heavy. And then they're probably like, their feelings are probably hurt.

They're like, what the frick? Like they probably go home feeling bad about themselves. It's how the heavies feel about GAV too. But I mean, Gab normally falls through. I'd say GAB normally follows through. He does, but I mean, it's like, it'd be like saying GAV is into every heavy that crosses path. It's not possible. That's life, man.

You know, it's not everyone, you know. They can't expect just because he likes middle-aged women that he's going to like her. I mean, Dalton's into girls. We don't just expect him to be into every single girl. I mean, I don't think that's a problem, Ken. Ken, do you think as you age up, the women will age up? Or do you think you're going to stay the same age as you get older? Like, you know, are you going to Leonardo DiCaprio it or are you going to, like, grow with him?

I don't even think he is very bad. Yeah. Well, the middle-age version. of Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo has like a 25 rule, doesn't he? And I don't even know if Ken's trying to go 25. No, no, that's what I'm saying. But like he gets older, the girls stay the same age.

Are Ken's, is he going to stay middle age or is he going to move up? I think I'll stay in that bracket for now. You're going to stick to keep him the same age. Once we get a little older, then we can just from there. So I guess just for the middle age women listening right now, the moms, what is this window? Like 35 to 55? I'd say 26 to 35. 26.

That's pretty low end from what I would have expected you to say. That doesn't seem like your window. 26 to 35. I was going to say you're just from... Your window is 60 to 80. No. No. We're just calling it as we've seen it.

It seems like it's more so... What do you... 35 to 45. Make it look like this man is standing next to a 45-year-old woman who has 17 children and they're all. all 18 plus. Seven. Is that the prompts you're putting in there?

17 children? No, I said a family of four. Okay. And that was just because I didn't have any photos of your family photo. Yeah, I had to just recreate what the family looks like without actually exploiting

the actual family. Do you just created fictitious children or what did you do there? Yeah, I got a couple of fictitious children at home. But how do you feel about being a stepdad. Depends on the kids. I don't know.

I've never been in that situation, so. But like if they're chill, you're cool with it. I mean, I don't know. I've never been in that situation or stuck around long enough to care. They usually don't introduce you to the kids. Right. Yeah. Usually you got to go.

It's got to be weird. Most kids would probably know who you are. Evan is a big, he is a big advocate for the snacks. Well, yeah, because they got kids. always have snacks. As long as they got on crustables in the house, Ken's good. This is getting way too drug out.

All right. We'll move on. We'll move on. So, CJ, you think somebody stole your knife? Yeah. Which one of you guys stole my fucking knife? Dude,

no one cares about your knife. Enough to steal. First off, you know, digress a little while you still have a knife in your hand. Let's step back and set it down. Hold on. Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way.

Can I hold that for you? You are. Which one of you guys stole? this kid. Yeah, no, actually, I know for a fact it was Ben Because I was playing with it in my meeting And Ben was sitting next to me And I set it down for just a second

And then Ben picked it up And it was kind of playing with it And I was like, okay, this guy's playing with my knife I did have to sit down He fucking played with it for over an hour Oh my Long enough for me to forget about it And then I haven't seen it since

I don't know how to tell you this CJ But I didn't steal your knife Right, if I wanted to I would just go into our warehouse and grab one. No, you wouldn't because they're all sold out. Right when we got back from break, you're like, I love knives. This is so sick.

I love our life wide open knives. And you're like, yeah, I carry this thing everywhere. And then you literally got up and walked out of the building without it. So you have it. No, I gave it back to you. I was like, yo, CJ, the knife you talk about that you love so much, you just left. Did you check? Can't be leaving your knife on attendance.

Check the meeting room where the knife got lost. Yeah, he was fiddling with it way past the meeting room. I don't know where it went. It's kind of pissed me off because that was my favorite knife. If you check Ben's car. It's not. I don't have Ben's pockets. I don't have it.

Check his belt loop. I think he's jealous because he saw how much fun I was having with my knife. And then he was like, I want a knife. Well, all the knives sold out. We got more coming because you needed a replacement anyway because you're snapping it so much. The only way for him to freaking get one was to steal it. If I was a klepto and I wanted to go about it that way, that does make sense. but so are knives similar to like watches you know you can obviously you can buy a million

$30 a hundred dollar like cheap knives and then there's are there knives that are just thousands yeah it just seems insane that's a lot of knife for $1,500 bucks yeah I mean yeah like it seems insane to like have a pocket knife that's like over a G I guess I haven't looked at anything more expensive than that I'm not trying to spend a grand on a knife right I like watches careful it might happen and also I don't know I don't don't know what the what the resale on knives really is, but I'd imagine it depreciates. Some watches go up in value. Right.

Yeah. But I have no idea. You know, a knife is more than just telling you the time, you know. You don't need to know the time when you have a knife. It's protection. It's protection. It's security. Survival.

So many knives you up to these days? None because he lost it. One now. I only have one now. Kind of bullshit. At least it matches your outfit. You're off. I'm definitely fucking green today, but...

Permit the frog. And the worst part is like all of it is just like a little bit different. Like at least it could have matched, but what are you going to do, you know? I work with a bunch of dudes and unfortunately I'm on camera for millions of people to see.

It's fine. Your forearms could look like literal Cheetos. Dude, I lost all my long-sleeved shirts over the past month. I bought four fresh ones as cold season hit, I got one. I don't know where they are. So, Ev, we're actually... Probably with your knife, honestly.

We're trying to develop a garment just specifically to you. I don't know if there's a big market for it anymore. Oh, the long sleeve, the... The soda. I don't like that. Oh, okay. It's got to be two different shirts. Yeah, or else I just feel like you're faking it.

Yeah, we can cancel that. We can cancel the truckload of that. Maybe other people would like it, so then maybe it is a good thing. I used to run that quite a bit when I was growing up. And then when I got the one that was actually built in, I was like, gosh, this is so much better. But what happens right now if I start overheating?

Oh, you've used. I just lose the long sleeve and I'm still running a short sleeve. It's layers. So it's like it serves a purpose. So this is more of like a sweatshirt. Looks more like a sweatshirt. It's got a hood. Now I got your attention to back.

Yeah. You're okay. So you could run that same setup that you're running right now. But if you want to wear a sweatshirt over the top, keep. the same look and then drop that layer, you're still rocking that. I think I don't understand what you just said. It does not compute. So it's a t-shirt over a sweatshirt.

Yeah, but it's a sweatshirt look. So it's like a sweatshirt on top of a long sleeve more so. We'll figure out. Like a vest? We'll work on the details of it. All right. I'll run it past you before we pull the trigger. Either way, more of the story is it's not an aesthetic thing for me. It's a function thing for me.

It's cold. I wear long sleeves. I get warm. I take the long sleeves off. I don't like rolling my sleeves because then you have a pressure or a pinch point at your elbow from your long sleeve rolled up. Now you have poor circulation. Guaranteed arm pump immediately. From a stylistic standpoint, I think you're killing it.

One might be able to argue that you could flip-flop it and then you wouldn't have to take both shirts off to get the t-shirt back on. That's a good point. I could take this shirt off the long sleeve without taking the short sleeve off. Right now. Do it. That's pretty impressive. I have to take my headphones off, though. Let's see it.

Wait, can you actually? For the record, shout out to Mr. Bean because he took his underwear off without taking his jeans off one time. That's impressive. I would ask you to do that, but I know that you've been having a rough day in your pants today. So let's keep your underwear on. What situation do you get yourself into where you need to do that? Okay. I like it.

Like, why? It looks like he's just taking his bra off. Take my tarp off. If I was at, like, in a restaurant. But, like, I could just do this. This is pretty smooth. It is smoother than I fit. It's not bad.

That's not bad. That's not bad. That was good. Little party trick, you know? Yeah, that was good. But the underwear one, I don't got that. I don't know my thighs are too thick or what, but there ain't no way I could deal with my underwear. Yeah, I mean, we're.

Respectfully, nobody wants you to do that with your underwear after the day you had. No, I changed, I changed them. Oh, you did? Okay, good. Yeah. Did you throw them away?

No, they're on my floor. What? Bro, tell the camera what you did in them earlier. Well, shit myself, but that's fine.

A lot of people do that every day. Like, I swear to God, I don't know how many people are listening to this, but say there was 100,000, there's thousands of people probably that had. You know what? That would be like,

you know what? No, no, no, no. not a day, but would be like, yeah, dude, last Tuesday, yeah, I kind of sharded too. Like, how many times a month do you shit your pants? It depends on the month. How many times this month in the last running 30 days? In the last 30 days.

A few, hushel. I love how, like, unfazed you are by it. Because some people would be like, oh, this is really getting to be a problem. I can't keep shitting myself. He doesn't mind telling everyone who's around. But I mean, it's not like the end of the world. What did Forrest Gump say? It's like a box of chocolate.

He did say that. But he also said, shit happens. Was that really Forrest Gump? Like kind of an original line? No, no, no. Probably not an original, but that he did say that. When the guy was looking for the catchphrase and he's like, shit happens. And then it became a bumper sticker or whatever.

Yeah, I guess so, F. I guess so. Either way, I try to avoid it. Sometimes it happens. Did you at least go wipe or take a shower or anything between then and now? Yeah. But I had to wait like five hours from the time it happened. That was the problem.

But I'm good now. Man, you got to have some trust issues. trust i fell off of ken snowmobile the second i hit the ground it was already done i would trust has nothing to do with it i maybe have impact issues or i don't know what issue i had no but do you loose stool you got loose stool not hinders stool oh boy here we go again like it's a constant gambling no okay you really love gambling this this really is what stems the problem we had a keg of beer the other day so i got into some a bushel of keg beers and when i laid down in bed last night. I remembered, I just got a fresh

unit of a flaming hot funions. They're expired. Oh yeah, and they're expired. I got them out of the bargain bin at the gas station. Either way, I ate the whole goddamn like, it's like seven servings of flaming hot funnions on top of a dozen beers. Like, I think that's what happened. Yeah. What goes into your body makes complete sense of what happens afterwards, but... That's how you shit yourself five times a month. Funions and beer.

Not five times every month. Probably five times this month, but... Starting off the year hot. I will say, expired funnions is probably like one of the safest things to eat. Not even anything other than getting stale. There's nothing to go bad in them. It's not like you're getting expired eggs.

That spice, though. Yeah, but there's so many preservatives. That's not even hardly food. You go quite a ways beyond the expiration date. I think that it has nothing to do with the expiration date being six months ago. It has solely to do with its fucking food. funnions and they're spicy and beer and a bunch of beer and whatever else the beer just needed a little bit of something to turn into something to shoot out of something yeah you drink a lot you drink enough beer like

the next morning you got the beer shits that's just the that's just that's just fact of life my stomach it's kind of like packing a black powder rifle it is you know it's whatever you throw down there it really like your stomach is it can handle a lot i mean i've seen you eat a lot of things but you know speaking of the eggs Do you guys see? I think it's called Vital Farms. It's like this expensive organic eggs that like a lot of people pay a lot of money for to get these, you know, organic eggs. They basically got exposed for like it being a sham.

Yeah, basically a sham. I mean, technically. Like most stuff that's labeled organic and non-GMO and free range. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if most stuff's like that, but they got called out and they got caught. And like basically like they had all these chickens. right they were saying they're free range and like they'd show out like you know the chickens like however many and like

you're talking about supersized me too I have no idea what you're talking about I'm talking about something that just came out in like December I heard that supersized me guy was boozing the whole time and that's why he got so fat well that was supersized me one dealt with McDonald's and him getting fat supersized me too just exposed all those labels

but yeah the free range chicken thing just meant the barn door was open and there was a fence across it The chickens are the exact same. They're the exact same as the other ones, but they sold for twice as much. And people thought they were healthy. But they're literally the same chicken, same farm. The barn door was just open.

And the legal definition for that has not changed since then. People are, I think the chickens are like running around an open green field. That's basically the short of it. Really? And it's like, obviously, some of the chickens could be outside. But like the majority of them, they're in this huge ass barn. They don't even know it because they're fucking packed in there. And they want to be in the shade.

They don't even want to go out in the sun anyways. A lot of these, or you know what I mean? They, I don't know. Yeah, and then they like test the yoke and basically there was, I don't know what the term it was that they used, but like it was like the worst compared to other eggs. Like it had lower or higher of something bad, you know. Damn, so what happens after a company like that?

They're getting canceled, bro. Like, do they have to shut down or are they just socially canceled? I don't know. I guess private equity came in and kind of fucked up their whole business. Like it was at one point organic and then. Then they had to sell to every Walmart in the country. I'd love to hear it though because like I'm the guy that's going to buy like the 88 cent carton of bags. And then these people that are spending seven or $10 or $12.

I don't know how much, but then they find out. It's just like, it's like whenever we talk gas, it's like all gas comes from the same place. It does. It actually does. Line up in Fargo, you'll see every single brand of gas tank out front of the distribution center is. They're all the same. Even in Canada? I don't know about Canada.

So you're not talking about like 87.91. There's holiday. Yes, you're saying every gas station is serving the same gas. But Shell is really the only one that's saying they put the additives and shit. They all put different additives in there. That's the only different. So then it's different. So you're paying for the add.

You're paying for the additives. It's the different. It's the only difference. There you go. And they put those in at the gas station. I have another hot take. I don't think that all recycling bins. actually get recycled.

None of them do. I think recycling is much more prevalent to be real on coastal places. They can't let garbage even be near the ocean, but in the inland, I think the recycling just goes to landfill. So why do you think they do it then still?

The only things that actually get recycled are paper, glass, and metals. Everything else, it just goes straight to the landfill. Or just goes to a different pile of the landfill? What about those water bottles right there? It says, made with recycling. recycled plastic. Comes from China. But we can't export our plastic recycling to China. And this guy's wonder why his pants are dirty. I don't think he is wondering.

You're pretty self-aware in that aspect. Yeah, no, I've seen a straight-up garbage truck back up to a recycling bin and dump it in. And so I'm always telling Greta, because Greta's like super like green recycle this. And I'm like, it's going to the same place. And it's just more work on my end. All our plastics used to just go to China for recycling. But since they cut that off five or ten years ago, it just goes straight to the landfill. There's no way that it was any better for the planet

shipping all our plastic to China. There's no way it was. And then what? What does China do with it? Throw it in the ocean? Is it the car batteries? Were they able to like melt it down? But their emissions were better?

Like we wouldn't have been able to do that? I'm sure it's cheap. Well, they have zero emission. That's what I meant. They don't have the mission regulations. Like, we couldn't recycle plastic because we'd be polluting. I'm guessing. I don't know.

It's like a net negative thing. It's just make people feel better. Yeah. All I know is I actually have been recycling the past bushel of years only because I get a free recycling bin. So you might as well. Fill that up. Otherwise,

my garbage can's over full. Yes, exactly. I'm the same way. I might as well use it because my garbage can's always full. So if you recycle some of it. Yeah, when I moved to the city in DL, they were like, you have to have a recycling bin. I'm like, ah, that's cool. And they're like, you have to pay for it either way, whether we give you the bin or not.

I was like, oh, I'll take the bin that. Yeah, when I said it was free, maybe I was just required. Maybe you have to pay for it. Yeah, it just came with when I signed up for garbage service and they come every other week. You can't just burn your garbage in the city? You don't just bear it? Mike just in the middle. That was like, that was like one of my like main chores, you know, clean the dishwasher out, shovel,

No, and burn garbage. You were burning garbage? That was like literally one of my weekly chores. Really? My neighbors, when I was a kid, used to burn garbage. Yeah. And we lived in like a lake neighborhood. Like, there was houses everywhere.

They just like burn garbage in their front yard. When we went to the county fair, when we were little kids, they had this. Garbage burning. No, they had this wheel. So it was some environmental thing. I don't know what it was, but it's for little kids. You spin the wheel and they would ask you a question. and they asked my sister, I don't know, she's probably like five or eight or something,

and they ask her like, should you burn garbage or something like that? My sister says yes, because growing up, my grandpa lives out in the middle of nowhere, and as kids we would burn garbage because that's what you do when you live in the middle of nowhere, and she didn't get a prize. They didn't give her the prize? Well, maybe they did. Either way, but my mom was like embarrassed or whatever. Just burn it.

They gave her a stern talking to. Not only did she get it wrong. She got in trouble. I actually got a gift for your mom, Ev, that I'm working on right now. A knife? No, it has nothing to do with knives. I'm not giving Patty a knife. Are you going to tell me or is this a secret?

It's a short video segment of you taking her drifting in the Miata that never got used. Really? I wanted to give you it for Christmas. I already gave it to John. He doesn't know how to look at it, though. You just gave him the raw footy? You said, oh, the raw footage ain't going to do it. And my dad uses a fucking Samsung.

He doesn't even know how to look at it. I don't know about there. He sent me some shit. I have a, I have a fully, fucking Dropbox. I have a fully edited segment. Oh, that's awesome. Put together, cut him between GoPro, everything. For the record, what you sent him, he is essentially not.

He can't, okay. Maybe something worked, but a four-minute segment. Nice. Like as if it was putting into a YouTube video. Yeah, yeah, Google Drive, yeah. But, I mean, that's not, I guess, too surprising that he can't watch. I think we should do a segment where we teach all of our parents how to drift. My mom wants to learn.

She rode with Evan. I was pretty stoked. I think she enjoyed it. I teach all you guys at a drift first. I mean, including myself. Dude, I'm Jones and to get done with this podcast and just go drive around in my focus

R. So roads are so good right now. Like, I'm just sliding every. It's so much lower consequence, isn't it? A little bit of snow. Yeah.

Perfect snow we got to me. I feel like drifting in snow has not, that much equivalent to drifting on asphalt or concrete. No, it's completely different, but it also completely correlates. But I do like, it's throttle control. It's, it's, I don't know, like, you're just sliding

than there, whereas, like, you're getting used to the feeling. Yeah. I think it teaches you some basics that you would have a tough time learning otherwise, and, you know, it gets you prepared for that. I think that. The biggest thing is, is the grip difference. I mean, it's like a one. And the speed of it.

You can just slide by just tapping it in any vehicle and just kind of, if it's slippery. Yeah, but if you get comfortable sliding like that, you're a lot better off sliding. Get comfortable like 10 miles an hour on the ice or the snow than like 30 or more. I've been whipping the Hummer pretty good with the snow, but the traction control comes on. I figure I got to like pull my speed sensors or fuse or some shit. It's too smart. I know. It's like a Tesla.

A guy was out with your old Tesla. What is that? Model X? Model X, yeah. And he was like, can I go spin it on the drift track? I was like, yeah, I don't think it'll let you, though. He got out there, and it was just, it was the saddest thing. He would try and slide, and then it would just stop.

Like, even by Cybertruck, if I don't, like, put it in off-road mode and, like, purposely disable stability control, you cannot get it to slide at all. I was going to say, how could he not slide on snow when I watched Ken's cyber truck literally blow the tires off on a hot summer day on asphalt? Different. The Model Y, the Model X, you cannot turn stability, your traction control. That's so lame. Why would you even do that?

How did our buddies that made the minivan do it then? That was a Model S with Plaid. You can on that. But not on the model X plaid. You can't do it on that. You guys see all that snow in Russia? Crazy. Actually, what happened?

Okay. I was about to blow your mind, bro. There's two. I've never seen anything like it. It's been going around and there's AI ones. And that's what I'm going to show you guys first. And they've been saying that it's not AI. Oh, I just someone where all the kids were sliding off a roof.

Yes. So this is the AI. But at the end of this video, it says like the guy put it through a checker is like, look, it says it's not AI. All right. Let's look at the real ones. And then. The last one looks somewhat real, I'd say. And then, uh, sleds boys.

This one. Sled trip and Russia would be insane. This one's actually real. Like the whole fucking town's buried in snow. But we're not just talking like Tahoe. Oh, like my cabin door got buried. That's cool. We're talking like snow drift up to the top of a 20-story apartment building.

It looks like people could be in trouble with this much. Yeah, I mean, like, what do you actually do with that much snow? Ryan, go find the video of people sledding off the roof. I think that one's AI. It looks, because there's like a fucking 12-year-old skiing and there's like too many people going at once. Like, you ever seen a sledding hill? It's chaos. I've seen a couple.

I've seen a couple. and some of them are fake, but some of them are, like, weirdly real. It's like, how do you trust anything on Facebook these days? Because it, dude, Facebook's so bad. Like, I just report and block every single one I see, but, like, how do you trust half that stuff? Dude, it's sad because I'll see something so obviously fake.

Like, I'll just make up an example, which is probably already been done. It'll be like, Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings saw a school bus of homeless kids driving by and bought them all houses. And this is slightly an exaggeration. But there'll be people in the comments like, Justin Jefferson is the best.

Like, this is why he's the best wide receiver. Like, they truly think it's real. And that's when I, I'm just like, holy shit. Like, we are so doomed. Dude, that's clearly AI. Either way, how much snow did they get? I think they said eight feet? It looks pretty windy there as well.

Yeah, I think it was all windblown. This one looks real. Storm's last parts of Russia after six foot snowberries countries, Far east end I'm sorry. How sick would it be If we got six feet of snowing 12 feet in December

So that's 18 feet In a month It's funny how big of an inconvenience That would be in again like a hazard But it's like What I've always dreamed of as a kid That's too much That is too much

You wouldn't know where to put it And like so much stuff Would be completely covered If it happened in such a short amount of time But like think of like You know your furnaces and shit for your house They need to like vent like Yeah

Like everything I mean just everything I mean, everything. You know what I mean? Everything. But I would love like three feet. We got like three feet of snow one year. Dude, we've been getting a lot of snow this year, though.

The wind makes it seem like it. We haven't got much snow at all. But more than years past. Yeah. Which is nice. Yeah. It is funny when we get what we do have. I'm like, yep, just need more.

I mean, we need a lot more to satisfy a guy like me. It's crazy all, like, one side of the road has like eight feet snow drifts. Then the other side is like still grass. There's literally grass sticking out. Like the wind has been, the wind has been insane lately. Like, yeah, you have a snowdrift. You could build a fort you could stand up in and then across the road. There is just a half an inch ice.

This is an old picture from 21, I believe. But, I mean, like the snow drifts out to my dad's place are cooked. Like, I won't be able to get home tonight. Like, I'll have to snowmobile home. And that's because of the wind. Yeah, because the wind kicked up. And Alonters sent me a picture. This was the snow.

I mean, you know, this isn't that bad. But this was at like 10 a.m. today. No, Ryan, the drifting, it's especially for you out on the point right now, is just brutal. It's one thing to get a foot of snow in your driveway and then have to remove it. It's another thing when the wind goes more than 10 miles an hour. And it's like two and a half miles of snow drifts. I wonder if you just got like a, you just built a lifted truck. Like really, really tall?

It need to be tall. Like skinny tires? No, I think you just got to buy an old county plow truck. Or that. But then you just pile it up, it'd be even worse. Like the Toyota Tacoma with huge huge, like basically like a megalo. Like a floater, like megacquod. That's why I should get Randy.

Yeah. Well, remember when Jake had the tracks on his raptor and he tried? Yeah, you got stuck going out there. Out to Randy's place and then Ken had to come in with the Bronco and Ken. All the boys here love Brunt. We've been reping their boots for years and now their entire line of workwear is a staple in each of our wardrobes. The founder of Bront, Eric Gerard, grew up blue collar and started Brunt Workwear after his friends in the trades kept telling him

that the big brands had stopped listening and hadn't changed in a hundred years. His buddies encouraged him to start a brand, built for them, and that's why all Brunt products are named after the guys that he grew up with. Whether you need waterproof, safety toe, soft toe, pull on, or lace up, they've got every option that can handle whatever job site you're walking into. And Brunt stands behind what they make. You can wear them to work, and if they're not right for you, send them back. I don't know any other brand that's doing that.

That's a company that believes in their product. Brunt was tired of the workwear brands out there cut in corners. You guys work too hard to be stuck in uncomfortable boots that don't hold up. So they built something better. Boots are insanely comfortable and are built for any job site. For a limited time, our listeners get $10 off at Brunt when you use the code C-Boys at checkout.

And then Ken was pulling him out, but remember he his toe hooks? His toe hooks. And then Ken was just freaked this frame. Tweeted his frame. I actually didn't. Total his vehicle. Those were fun days. We had a good time filming out in the storm the other day.

It did remind me of like old Seaboys vibes where we just like, it's ripping, snowing super hard. Like obviously we're going to be outside. And now we kind of like pick and choose our schedule a little bit. Like when it gets nasty, we might travel. but this time we just decided to go outside in a straight up heavy blizzard. The high on Friday is negative 15 and negative 30. And one thing, you talk about weather.

Do you like, I posted a video of like, oh, look at the snowstorm day. And like my Snapchat comments were just full of people like, pro, that's just a normal day in Virginia. I'm like, no, it's fucking not. Like, it's just, it's just not. I'll only take that from Canadians. Yeah, Canadians, they actually have to like that. And Canada are like, that's actually not crazy, bro.

I'm like, I know, I know. Dude, what's up with people always trying to just one up. One up, no matter what it is. And I'll convert it to Celsius for you Celsius guys. High of negative 26 Celsius, low of negative 34 Celsius. Now Shred 80 can understand he's Celsius guy. But yeah, it's actually pretty cooked. It's crazy what the wind does.

I think the other day when I looked at my app, it said five degrees in the positive, but with the wind chill, it feels like negative 27. Like, what is that? It's cold. That's what it is. It's cold. Take your glove off for, like, literally to take your phone out and then check it it and put it back in your pocket and your fingers are numb.

What's the coldest recorded temperature in Minnesota? I'm guessing. In our neck of the woods? Yeah. Are you able to check our neck of the woods? The lowest was February 2nd, 1996, and it was negative 60. I'm not sure where it is. Wow.

The largest single day changed was 72 degrees. Tower Minnesota. What, a couple weeks ago went from, negative 20 to, or it went from, it was like 40 degrees and then went down to like negative 10 or negative 20, I think that was. Those are always interesting to me because it's like, okay, so if you're somewhere where it's 80 and then goes to 40, like, it's kind of crazy because it's 40 degree change. But if you are somewhere here where it's like 40 and we go to like, you know, negative

five, those are two completely different worlds. I just saw a Instagram post and there was this guy talking about how there's about to be like the worst storm in like recorded history. about to hit like the central part of the United States. And they get cooked down there. By the time that you're listening to this podcast, it'll either have happened by now. It's supposed to happen this weekend.

Like snowstorm. Yeah, they were saying snowstorm for, you know, like the upper part of it, I don't know, through maybe Kansas and above. And then below that, like towards Texas, they were saying like three inches of ice. And they were saying if there's three inches of ice, then all the, you know, power lines are going to be down.

And like all the, Probably minimal plane travel with that much ice. Yeah. And they were saying, it's going to be like rain. It's cold. I mean, yeah.

Yeah. However, you get three inches of ice. Yeah, rain and then it all freezes apparently. But yeah, saying that it's going to be like really, really bad.

And of course, Minnesota's just missing it. It's just going to just be cold. No snow. Nothing. I still love Minnesota. All the people in like Iowa and Nebraska and shit are going to be that kept their sleds.

Like it just, it blows my mind when someone in like Nebraska's like, yeah, I got a sled. I'm like, guys get snow and they're like once every five years yeah that's when Minnesota dude if we didn't get snow this year all the snowmobile companies were going to go bankrupt for real and they still might but like you know the last what two years for sure there's been zero snow and so all these

snowmobile manufacturers just have a insane amount of sled sitting on their lot that they can't and the dealers are the people who really get cooked and one might think that the backcountry is the bigger market but it's not even close yeah all the slides go to flatland. Yeah, to trail riding. You motors did say they were slanging sleds. I was in there the other week. They were like, oh, like, we're killing it this year in terms of just obviously because

we have snow. But when you don't have snow, tough go of it. You know, it is weird. Is there like a chart showing the decline of snowmobile industry? I mean, it's just the exact inverse of the increase in price for snowmobiles. It's just true. It seems like when I was a kid, everybody. has snowmobile everybody was going to snowmobile on the weekends around here all that and now it's like

nobody i know you don't now that we even have snow you don't see them out yeah even on the weekends like there's obviously people out but like when we were kids dude there was so many fucking sledders going everywhere like everyone was driving around on the weekend you're going out to eat you're going to the bars whatever like i don't know it just is weird like why is it due to phones like do people are people too comfortable sitting at home watching Netflix and with the internet and with their phone where they're like I don't really want to hop on.

Yeah, they're like, ah, fuck it, we'll sit inside. In 2010, I wonder what the average price of a sled, a brand new one versus. Versus now. You can for sure check that. Yeah, you could easily look that up. Because like I know, but like now, because I mean, what's a,

what's a high end boosted turbo sled like 25 grand, 207? I think it was close to 30. The average price for a new solomium in 2010 was around $8,300. performance models exceeding $10,000. And so what is... Yeah, exceeding 10.

Now we're exceeding 30. You could get an MXZ 800 P-Tech adrenaline. It was 10 grand. What's that translate to with inflation today? So say, what's that 10 grand worth in inflation today? 8,300 in 2010 is worth approximately 12,300 in today. Wow. So they did not just rise with inflation.

They jumped up big time. But they've also gotten way better. They are. I was just going to say that. They are. anywhere you're around 25, like screw that. But now like you can get a 24 boost on marketplace for like 14 grand. But look at how many other products in the world though,

where they cost significantly more back in 2010 and now they cost the same, if not less today, but they're a way better product. That's because it's a technology. That's because that's like, yeah, that's a technology based. But there's so many other things in the marketplace that are like that. It was just as things got better,

they also either stayed the same price or got cheaper. But not vehicles. I'd say just vehicles in general do not follow that trend. But it's people want all the amenities. No one's happy with a hand crank window and a push button lock. They need a fucking fold screen and all this, but then it's like and then they're fine. I don't know.

I think if people could settle for a reliable vehicle that what the people want more than they can afford. And it screws the whole market everything up. Snowmobile market needs a C2 Spark style thing where it's just something super cheap, reliable, you can beat on it. And they tried to do that with the blast. Oh yeah, the blast. Yeah, yeah.

And people are it's underpowered. Yeah. Exactly. But also, dude, the thing I think is snowmobiling around here isn't that fun on the new sides because they're so good. They're like going through the drifts that we were going through on Monday or whatever, like you wouldn't even be able to hit those on an old sled. You spend all day hitting one drift and now you just like do a wheelie through it.

And you're like, yeah. I was going to say that maybe the sleds are better than what people need. They don't even need to be that good for around here, you know? Yeah, around here. And that's why they're so expensive when realistically. But that's just the truth of the matter is you don't need to buy the best brand new sled. And most people, honestly, that I see out there are riding 2010s, 2011, 2012. The majority of the sleds I do see, I think a lot of it has to play with just like kids have just video games and their cell phone and all that.

obviously had that back then too but i don't know there's just a lot more stuff to maybe do yeah occupy yourself with i don't know there's also just not that much snow i think sports too i mean i think nowadays youth sports are like way too overwhelming at a young age like i don't think and when you're 12 years old playing hockey it should be a year true round like dedication you're not going skiing you're not riding so you think so that's how it was when i was a kid you think 15 years i think we were the start of it maybe hockey was a little bit different, but I do remember when I was playing basketball, as soon as I hit ninth grade basketball, so whatever that is, if that's JV or C team, that's when it got intense.

And I was like, yep, the team sports aren't for me because they got, you know, super intense. But you're right, hockey. You all day. Yeah, I'll say, like, baseball and shit like that. Dude, they're doing that all the time. They have, like, three different leagues plus camps. I'd go, I'd, I'd support them, you know, but like, fuck, we, I would do so many more cool things than go and sit at a baseball game.

Like, knowing me, my kid's probably going to suck. Like I sucked in sports My poor parents I was talking with them at Christmas I was like I can't believe you on my sporting events And I just sat on the bench the whole time Like I can't believe you even gave a shit They probably didn't give a shit about the sport

But they loved you right I know but that's what I'm saying They should have had a When you're filling the water bottle Yeah exactly They should have a sit down conversation with me And been like Don't play sports

Something else Do something fun Go to a movie Dude, I hope my kid doesn't play hockey. I hope he doesn't. Like, I'm cool with playing sports, but I don't want him to do that year-round. Like, always every weekend. And basketball is that way, too.

I mean, it really just depends. But I think you're better off, if anything, playing a variety of sports, you know? Like, if you're going to play football and then play basketball and then play baseball and, like, hitting all those, you're going to be a better, probably more well-rounded athlete. Plus, there's a lot of kids that would be good athletes. athletes and be a good fit for the team, they don't give a shit about being a professional athlete. Like, you know, like, just like kids be kids and have fun. The only way I would, like, truly be able to give that full support.

We're like, we will travel. We'll get you all the best gear as if they're like, this is like, I'm really into this. Maybe they don't want to like, they're not like, I want to be a pro, but they're like, I'm really into this. I want to be really good. I want to be good. You can stand behind them. But if they're just like, yeah, yeah, basketball is fun.

I got to, I hope I get to start this year. Yeah, me too, brother. Basketball is one level of commitment, but hockey is a completely different level. I think all the sports are getting closer and closer to hockey. Hockey was definitely the first, but I don't know. I think they're all following the trend. There's so much opportunities, though, like, that hopefully I'll be able to give them with,

like, you can ride snow, but you can go dirt bike, you can go surfing. You can play, you know, sports and shit. Like, there's a lot of different things. You could be a YouTuber. There's a lot of activities. You can be an artist. There's high school fishing leagues now. You can make music, follow on my footsteps.

But, like, there's really a lot of opportunities out there. And I think, yeah, tying yourself down to one sport, especially, like, you know, I played hockey. But, like, if you're just, like, year-round in hockey, you almost don't have that chance to explore other options and figure out what you really like and what you're good at. So, dude, I don't know why I even fucking played. Like, I look back and I just remember, like, not really. ever liking it. I was, no,

I liked it, but I just remember always being like, damn, like I got to go to practice. Did you feel like guilty? Like, you, were you couldn't quit because I would have been embarrassed.

Yeah. Because then it's like, the whole school, like, kind of knows you on the team and all this. And then it's like, oh, you,

you just feel like you're not part of that group anymore or whatever. So, like, I never wanted to quit. But I also, I don't know. I shouldn't say I didn't like it. You got a lot to gain from it. Yeah.

It was just, it was a love hate. That's probably the best way for me to describe it. It was fun at times and other times it just wasn't. I remember when Ben would go back to soccer, you'd be like, fuck. Yeah, like, why? Soccer, bro. I remember that.

Banged up I'd be the first couple weeks of soccer. Yeah, he'd call me a polio boy. Walk around, coughing and waddling around. Yeah. I'd get shin splins every year. And he'd get shin splins and legitimately be like wobbling around with like crutches. And then I'd like roll up and what the fuck happened this kid? He had to run and he broke his shins.

Yeah, I mean, that's just. what happens when you like aren't conditioned and then you have to run a ton. I just remember like being a young kid really being into snowmobiling because it was like the one thing that you could do where you had like a sense of freedom. It was before you had a driver's license. Yeah. And dirt bikes were always super illegal and you couldn't just hop on it and ride. But on a snowmobile, you could you could hop on on as soon as you got your snowmobile safety, you could hop on it and you could ride to the next town. You could ride to your friend's place. And you could do so many things at a young. young age that you couldn't do before getting your driver's license, right?

Yeah. And so I hope it's still like that for kids. Like I hope that they still find like that same. Dude, this morning I saw when I was driving in the shop to come film, I saw a kid on a snowmobile. I don't know if he was riding to school, which would have been cool if he was. Even cooler if he was skipping school to snowmobile. But he was ripping, dude.

And that's the one thing like for people that don't understand snowmobile or how it up here, it's literally like roadways. Like there's trails that people give permission to on their land that open up come snowmobile season and you can ride through and there, you know, there's markings and all this stuff and like there's literally signs on the side of the road that stay year round for like, you know, how you sometimes see like deer crossing. It's just a snowmobile or telling the drivers to like watch out snowmills cross the road here, you know?

And it's like the one, it's so awesome. It's like the one thing that landowners, Like they give permission to have a public trail go through their land. But then they close up come spring. Yeah. And Ben and I, of course, we would always just ride around them with our dirt bikes. Because, you know, there's the gate, but then there's the tree. So we'd just squeeze her handlebar.

We'd ride down and pass through and, oh, man, we got chased a few times. Yeah. We'd pissed a lot of people off. Yeah, people did not like dirt bikers or four-wheeler's. I mean, that's how you, if that landowner decide. Yeah. Yeah, I get that now being an adult. Oh, I tore up my spikers.

Fair share of snowmobile trails gym somewhere. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you should do it. And I get why the people didn't want us to do it. I probably wouldn't chase someone with my truck, damn near running them over like a seven. Like, he's a little job.

The amount of time. We were running from this guy. Like, he was straight up on our tail. And we were like, probably went like 55 down this gravel road. But anyways. What a thrill,

though, huh? It was fun. Oh, that was the best. Yeah. I didn't know Ben's bike blew up because he like pulled off and went down this one way.

And I was like, why would you go there? and I kept going straight and then it turns out. And he caught up, caught up to me, came, just chewed my ass, my parents. And he gave a false name, didn't you? Yeah. Is that a false name? That's a real guy in your buddy's name.

That's a real human that CJ and his friends would say. Yeah. What's your name? That's such a classic. You just say that person's name. I felt, you know, looking bad, I feel bad for him. I never used it on the bus, but like this one kid, you just would get in trouble all the time on the bus.

That guy didn't even ride the bus. He'd get in trouble. bus driver's like, what's your name? He'd say this kid's name. Hop off the bus, like whatever. And that kid would get called in and the prince was office the next morning. And it happened like two, three times. And then finally that kid's mom came in.

They hop on the bus. He's like standing there and the bus driver's looking at. He goes, well, him right there. And they go, fuck. And that kid goes. So he got in trouble for all the shit he was doing and also in trouble for passing lame on. Line about his name. That's fucking funny.

I love that. That's funny You've never even wrote the bus in your life And you're getting down to the office Getting in trouble for some shit you did on the bus And you know you know the principal's like What I don't know 12 14 year old kids?

Well it wasn't me Yeah right Somebody would just say that it was you Just look at the bus Just look at the cameras Now the next county over They're getting the cops called on this kid He's like oh my God

It's spread It's spread an hour away I don't even own a dirt bike Oh yeah I bet buddy I don't know. I mean, I'm assuming that it's still like that, and it's just been more difficult with the lack of snow. But, like, if there's kids out there that are looking for something to do in the winter,

maybe you're not a sports guy, bro, it is like the best way to have freedom as a kid. It's the best. But, yeah, it is. And my recommendation is buy the reliable snowmobile. Don't, don't blow your whole budget on the one you think is the coolest. It's going to let you down, and then you're going to be sitting there, and it's cold, and you don't want to work on a snowmobile. It's how I spent my whole childhood,

is I always wanted that race sled, that cool sled, and I always bought the cheapest one because it's all I could afford, and it always broke. And I look back, I could have just bought a standard MX, like literally any normal snowmobile, and I would have had way more, better time. That sled also taught you some valuable skills on how to wrench on it. Yeah, because Evan's wrenching on all this shit, yeah. He had sled.

I do. I taught me how much my dad was going to chew my ass when he brought it to the small engine repair for the third time is what it taught me. Dude, Ken was so cool. He race snowmobiles when he was young. Yeah, we found that out this week. Twice and I lost. How did you guys just figure that out this week? Well,

you never once told us that you raised. Because I sucked and I got last every time. You got last? I got last every time. The fact that we found this out. I mean, who told you? After knowing you for so long, like, I would be introducing you so much.

so much differently. Yeah, it's like Ryan, oh, this is, my buddy, he used to race snowmobiles. Because your brother's

a big snowmobile racer, correct? Yeah. So, Ryan, like, you played basketball, you play basketball on the bench, but are you, like,

you don't say that. No, but riding the bench, it isn't cool to introduce yourself many years later as former basketball player. I have zero credibility

saying that I race football wheels. It's like, I did it. I sucked ass at it. And it's like, whenever we try to give you your flower,

whether it's getting chicks, racing snowmobiles, you're always just contradicting what we're saying. Don't be so hard on yourself and just accept the problem. I feel like I'm being Mikea. I know I'm saying like, no, but like this is actually... I suck that. I think if Ken were to own that and be like, yeah, I am a snowmobile racer, then the keyboard warriors are going to be like,

why don't you rip then? Former, former Stonewheel racer. Oh, yeah. I never said that he was a good snowmobile racer. I just said he was a snowmobile racer. It does serve some coolness factor. It's still cool. Yeah, I mean, he still did it.

Dude, I think that, you know... It sucked. It sucked the whole time I was doing it. And I was like, why did I want to do this in the first place? It was like 20 below the both times I did it. I got last every time and I was like, this just sucks. It's not fun. I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm just over it. What did you ever do instead? Went in snowmobile with Ryan. That's basically it. Is that crazy though? That like... Actually had fun snowmobiling, not just being miserable doing it and having to like go in freaking circles the whole time.

So did your dad just sign you up? for it? Like, how did you get coerced into doing this? It's because my brother was doing it and he was like, oh, do you want to do it? And I was like, sure, I'll try it and just did not do good at all. How nervous were you can, pulling up to the starting line? I mean, I was, 10. I had no idea what I was doing. You said you ran two race and you did bad. I mean, maybe it takes more than one or two races to like win a fucking race. The whole time you're doing bad, you're also just miserable. You're not having any doing it. Oh, yeah, I did one race. I didn't win. It wasn't like I lost by a lot.

Like how much are we talking about you? Like, minutes. Like, I was minutes behind everyone else. Minutes and cross country? That's over the course of hours. The top guy got done in like 20 minutes and I got like 45.

What the hell are you doing? Can you stop for some hot chocolate? It was bad. That's why I don't want to bring that up because people are going to find the race results. You can find the race results. You can find the. Oh, shit. Can you find anything?

I don't think they fucking do the time to publish it. Is it? It's not I suck. What association was it? That association's been gone bankrupt about 10 different times. I don't remember what it was called back then. Of course, because anything Ken doesn't want to remember, he does.

It gets memory hold out of my brain because I don't want to remember it. I found your LinkedIn. Your strongest, uh, you know. Personality traits. Strongest traits, Ken. Yeah. You can forget anything. Whatever you decide.

And that is what keeps you mysterious. other people like you sometimes don't even know what they're trying to figure out about yourself like for real no straight hope yeah i'm confused on what you're saying here mike like like someone someone could go up to ken and ask him a question about himself that only he could answer and he's like i don't even know man i can't answer that i don't know i think we got to figure out something for for cj and mike because you know i'm trying to get tony act to come out teach ben how to drop in I'm working on it. I'm probably a long ways away from it happening,

but I'm trying. I'll sick with that be. I feel like we... Tony Hot comes out to our two-foot-tall mini-ramp and... I'm working on it. I'm working on it. But I think we could get Levi. I bet Levi LeValle would be...

Would maybe teach you out of a race of snowmobile. I think we're so far down that. 100% do that. He would. Yeah, he would. What do you think, C.J., what do you think... What's that show on MTV Made? Remember that show?

You guys are probably too young. You remember? we should have somebody come out and teach CJ how to do like the revolver like super quick shooter Zing ding ding ding ding ding Yes That would be sick

That would be actually sick I'd love that Yeah That'd be sick Thank you Mike That's a great one Is it like an equivalent for knives or They're probably honestly is

No the guys where they cut the ropes and shit Have you seen that? Yeah They walk around They're like Yeah We're doing that With knives

Yeah Oh my God Yeah There's like a sport There is a future in this There is a future You're cutting, stabbing, throwing. Okay, yeah, I've seen that.

The next level for your knife addiction is going to be how sharp can you get this thing? This one's pretty sharp. I just cut this bottle in half like a couple months from now. Look at that shit. You guys just picked up some throwing stars. Did you? They make throwing knives. Okay, what do we got?

Oh, yeah, all right, look at this. Okay. Oh, I could definitely see CJ doing this. This is not quite what I was expecting, but I like it. Wait until they get to the rope. Oh. Shing. Whoa, that's actually sick.

Well, wait, that's such a waste of beer. Oh, yeah, they have all the water bottles and shit. Like, they could have his hand in his pocket the whole time? This is hard to watch. Dude, I was just hard to watch, Mike. It's just awkward. Like, can you imagine people actually... Turn the sound up.

It's an Aussie man review. He's probably yapping. Those are all the things that went through my mind. when I saw that. Over to another pole again. Don't overthink it just... A lot of wood. I like that, though.

How fast can you chop through a two-by-four with your machete? Dude, I think I could do faster in this. I'm dead serious. Put me in a competition like that. Yeah, well, that little... That little knife you got ain't going to cut it. Hopefully, I'll get a better one. Hopefully, Ben doesn't steal that one.

The 2017 Blade Sports World Championship in its final. So the Blade Sports is primarily looking like they're using a machete-type knife. I love it. People are cheering. Yeah. Cut up vegetables. All right. Now put it in the dishwasher.

Okay. You see them make, like she accidentally let her hand come from behind her back and they're like, hand behind the back. Where do they host these, Ryan? I'm down. Put me in one. Got it. We'll find it. I will love this.

Seriously. I think you can do good. I'd be way fastening people. They were like lollygagging to the next thing. I'd be sprinting. That's probably a rule. You can't run with it. I would still do it.

Is it a timed event or is it all based on how accurate and clean your cuts are? That could change the whole perspective on that. It's got to be a blend. I'm sure there's a whole system. CJ lots are the only one to score a 99 on the day. CJ's just beating himself up over it. I could have done better. I would be.

I should have upgraded my blade. What do you think, Mike? For me? You can't say drifting because you're, I feel like, Mike's a man of many sports. He's a multi-sport athlete. Like, that's what I'm saying. It could be anything.

Like scuba diving. I'd love to, like, actually go scuba diving. It has got to be a competition. Okay. Honestly, for me, just like a feat, not a competition, but a feet. This one's like lame because it's so obvious. Like, I should probably join a dirt bike race.

Still never join a dirt bike race. I'm maybe similar. to canon that way. I'm really not competitive. It's when you were explaining how, like, he got 25 minutes, you got 45. That's sometimes how I feel even, like, up against Evan. If we were actually, like, let's go fast.

Evans is so far ahead of me that I'm like, how could I even, like, win? So then let's put me up against, like, someone even faster than that. I just look at that and go, like, man. But anyway, I just want to do a race, 30 plus. Fortunately, there's a lot of classes. Yeah. You would have a blast. You would find out that you were racing against a bunch of people.

people that are evenly matched it yeah let yeah i'll do it i gotta do it like i'll even race with you yeah it'd be super fun uh i want to do a moto race and a woods race so you were pretty versed in the hair scrambles you train on the new property we'll get yeah we'll get out there with like a little time trial yeah a little stop watch that'd be great and start putting in some laps i'll just kind of use evans times to go off of i mean you got spunky to teach you everything you really need to know you know mike i don't think anyone would really say too much if you didn't do that well because you're not fast

at anything else you do in life. Right. I'm not. You're the slowest human being I've ever met. No offense. Ever? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. Yeah, I really don't go on. I don't like going fast. I don't like, you know, someone's like, this slut will do 110.

I'm like, sick, I'm cool with like 70 or 80. The way that I would just maybe describe, like Mike, I feel like you lack the sense. of urgency. Yeah, that's the better way. I think you like going fast, Mike. You drive fast things, all that.

And you get more speeding tickets. But it's just more so you lack the sense of urgency like, okay, so it's going to take one hour to get here. I should leave probably an hour, if not a little more than before. But instead, you have that lack of urgency where you're like, all right, it's 45 minutes until I need to be there. And it's an hour-long drive. I'm going to speed.

Yeah. And then I'll get there still, you know, 10 minutes late. Yeah. I can't disagree, boys. though, like just, I'm not ridiculing you at all, but what are you doing in that time? Like, let's just use an example. Like, well, if it's the morning, sleeping, that's obvious. So then do you wake up?

I don't know. Like, I did it again. Anything. I could be mowing the lawn. I could be in the shower. I could be like, shoot, I was supposed to bring all, like, the recycling. I should have done that last night. And then I told myself, you know, I could be literally anything.

So then everything just pushes back. Yeah, I'm the type of person that I've said this before. this is not, if I put this reasoning on all the times of being late, it'd just be a giant excuse. But instead of just like mentally preparing for what I'm coming into, I think that I can probably do this little task before I have to leave. Next thing I know, it makes me late. You know, that actually happens to me a lot.

Like if we're doing something, let's just say we have to be here at nine. And for some reason, I wake up at like seven. I'm like, oh, I got all this time. And then I start doing whatever around the house or maybe I, make a big breakfast or whatever. And I end up being late on those days versus the day that I wake up at 8.30 and I just go. Yeah.

Like when we're all together at the farm and Jen says, hey, I'll be here at this time and we all leave together to come over and eat lunch. You are 20 minutes behind every single day. Oh, that's because lunch is actually one of the few things that I don't have to be on time for. Like literally nothing happens. Jen, I've never like once inconvenienced Jen by coming late.

I know. I'm more so just asking, like, why don't you just go at the same time? Just not hungry. Oh, okay. That's why, I guess. Yeah. Like, like today, like, I just didn't go because I wasn't hungry. But the days you do go over, like, we're all wrapping up eating and then you're just walking in the door and like grabbing a plate. Which has been maybe a few times, but like also pretty rare that I will do that and grab a plate and hold everybody up just because I was eating.

I think we've just all gotten like so used to like just. operating together. I don't think anyone has very high of expectations at this point of like if everyone is on time or if like not everything goes perfectly to plan, then it's like, oh, we're waiting on this. Like it's just like, I think everyone's just kind of okay with just like what happens happens at this point. Which I actually think is probably like why we work so well together is we all just kind of like gotten to know each other so well and we don't like.

Try and change it. We don't get hung up. It's like, yeah, I mean, we're supposed to be doing this, but now we're an hour behind, whatever. Let's just do it. Things like that just happen. Every single day. Like every single day.

Nothing ever goes to schedule. But that, yeah, that doesn't mean we should come into it and go like, well, nothing ever goes to schedule anyway, so screw it. But nothing ever goes to schedule. I think we set an it itinerary of what needs to get done. And then we just try and get it done. Odds are your whole team isn't in the big game this weekend.

But everyone's kind of on the same understanding. Ryan, I'm going to send a couple emails of Michael Jordan. Try to get you off that bench, buddy. Do you imagine?

I love how that's kind of where you're going. I guess maybe you could have said, well, who's, Who's like the best snowmobile racer? Either way, Levi's out of Valley's up there. You get like the best of the best for Ken, the best of the best for Ben. We got Axelot to teach Evan how to ride dirt bike again. And that's kind of what I guess I didn't say. That's what I was thinking.

Like you guys brought Axelot, teach me to ride dirt bike. And that always got me thinking. I'm like, what could each person? Yeah. I don't even think Ben wants to drop in. I've just been telling Ben that he needs to drop in. Dude, his New Year's resolution was to be scared. Like all three of them were about skateboarding.

Okay, that is true. I want to learn how to kick flip. But I think the worst part about the whole, like, potentially getting Tony Hawk or someone really high up and skating to get it, I think it'd be amazing. But we could literally go run it, you know, in an hour, like, just me and you. Yeah, you'd be very quick. Yeah, I think I could probably drop in, like you said, like five tries.

Drop in and ride out. Do you think five tries? I'd give you 10. I'd say that the kickflip would definitely be way more of a battle than a drop. Yeah, I mean, I can't even Ollie. Yeah, way more. I feel like a heel flip's easier than a kick flip. Yeah, and you're one of those guys.

Personal preference. Like the flick, there's more to it. Okay, well, mine was kick flip. I can't rewrite the goals. Can't switch it up now. If Ben lands a kickflip in 2026, you're going to get back on the board? I like, I skate around the shopper now and then, but I'm not like fucking. No allies.

Dropping in and grinding shit with you guys. I'd still love to see you come in with a setup. I know you were close. I think you were... Dude, you're on your phone, like, setting up a complete... Dude, I have way too many skateboards for a guy that sucks really bad at skateboarding. I have...

I think I have six, but they're all different sizes because maybe the reason I suck at skateboarding because I wasn't riding the proper setup. So I've bought, like, every... I've got the narrowest skateboard you can buy. I've got the widest one, and I've got everything in between. Different sized wheels, different sized trucks,

different grip tape. You know what? they all kind of functioned the same. I remember. I remember saying that, like being like, maybe if I went to an eight, I'd just be happier and I'd be nailing these tricks. And some dude super good at skating.

He's like, I hate to break it to you, bro. But like, you just got to learn the tricks. It's not the board. We rode for what, call it an hour the other night. We had our little sesh. I rode five different boards. Yeah. Mike rode the same one.

He landed a lot of tricks. I didn't. We were both struggling, dude. also we were sweating our asses off just gas but it was good I was actually skating with no shirt on don't check the cams

I did you a favor and didn't take any videos I actually took a few snaps and then just deleted it I'll fucking I run it as if I was landing something but yeah if I'm just fucking rolling around on the ground this fat and sweaty rolling on the ground

and like record something and he would just biff it up and I'm like, huh, this just sad. That's always a funny like thing across the board. Like even you know, sometimes we were out snowmilling, you hit a drift and it's like, oh, that was sick. I'll record you in the next one, but the drift starts to get beat up

and then you like come through and you're just like, and you're just like bar humping. And then I'm like, I'm just going to delete that one. You always know it's a fail when you just delete the clip. I kind of want to see these videos now, the security camp footage. Look it up. I guarantee you will not be

entertained. Yeah, it wasn't very impressive. I will give you that, Ev. You got heart, man. You got heart when it comes to skateboarding. And it's still, though, like, I can hop on a bike, and I feel like I'm pretty darn good on a bike, but it's like just Mike skates and, like, can't really ride a bike inside or ramps are too small.

So, like, still just fighting the skateboard game, but. I'm stoked on it. Obviously, you know, like, this isn't talking ill on Dalton. Like, he cannot ride a skateboard. And he always, like, he's like, oh, let me try a job. and then he's just like yeah it's not for me like he he physically couldn't hang out with us while we were skateboarding he can ride a suitcase though he can ride a suitcase and he he's a hell of a ripstick rider oh dude cody's the sleeper ripstick rider like what does that even mean like he just

gets on it and does stuff that what stunts oh i don't know i don't know i don't i don't people who have like 360 flipped them and then everyone says the same thing they're like dude just skateboard which they probably do i've never seen anyone and ride a ripstick more than just like in a straight line, I guess. Like I don't know what the whole thing is. They still make ripsy? I don't know what that's all about.

Big sticks were sick, dude. Really, though? I don't know. Dude, I used to, I, I wonder if I still have a video of it. Me and my buddy Kade used to have these things called Fusion scooters that you could like, really.

Oh yeah. Four wheel. Like a trike. Yeah, it was four wheels and they had big, big kind of wheels. Yeah, and you could go like that and we could manual them forever. And we made like edits and it was so, corny. What about the

like kind of longboard thing that had the two rip sticks? Oh freeboard. Oh free board. Noboarding, but longboard. Cody had one of those too. That's probably where you got some of that skill. Yeah, so you would essentially, it was like for downhill though, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. So you'd ride it like a snowboard. Yeah, it was like snowboarding just on pavement. Those things never really caught on, did they? Well, dude, that's a pretty

gnarly fall too. Your feet are actually locked in. I guess they slid in, but it's not like you go south. You need the right environment. I mean, think right now, how many hills are in Cormorant that you go ride this thing down? Yeah, I guess so, but if you're like, you're running the streets of L.A. with that? San Francisco. San Francisco.

Is that super sketchy, though, with like potterwolves and with the little, with the little, like, wiggly? I don't know, but I would imagine. It seems very sketchy. Yeah, it does. It just seems super sketchy. Yeah, well, many, many, many moons ago, I had some. buddies in college in Duluth. The college is up on the hill, and Canal Park is like at the bottom of the hill.

And they had like a bunch of longboards sitting in their porch. And they're like, bro, you have a longboard? I'm like, no. Like, oh, grab one, dude. We got the sickest route. You literally don't have to push. It's a 20-minute ride, and you just ride. Terrifying.

These guys were good. And I had no idea what I was. Were they sliding it and stuff? Yeah, they could skirt. They could skirt. That's what you need to know. Dude, we're going on some of these hills. There's gar.

Hard rails on the side. Like, we're in traffic. You're just based on. It's most cannon fucking. And I'm also on like, everyone has their good setup. And then there's like the homie setup, which is obviously everyone's old shit. So I'm not blaming the board, but I was also on shit. We just rolling around on the asphalt.

No, it wasn't just, I mean, I was going fast. Well, rewriting. But it wasn't even that long of a board too, which I feel like a longer board's more stable. I was on like a short longboard. Yeah. Like a cruiser board. And we were just like bombing. these hills and dude it was so stressful and i i actually never ate shit but i mean i was having to

like drag my feet like they're skitting i'm dragging my feet i don't know it was just a terrifying experience i never did it again my buddy zach went through a longboarding phase it was pretty pretty long phase actually where he was like making his own longboards but it was it was pretty much once a summer he would get like a guaranteed concussion oh good pile up yeah i was the punk longboard kid that was like yeah well i'm a skateboarder so in order to get around faster. Of course, I'll ride the longboard. I mean, I was BMX too, but like, just like, I just, what a corny thing to do, I guess.

Like, longboard is not an effective way to get around town. I'm sorry. I did it. It's not. They don't have a cool rap. Yeah, they don't. And it's like, it's like, it's like bro tank and like drug rug. Like, it's just, it's not a, it's kind of like a corny.

It's not an aesthetic. Yeah. But most of those guys aren't actually riding them hard. Like, they're not bombing hills or shit. It's just to get around. Like, getting around like college campus. and whatever. Dude, in college,

I rode my long board all the time for class just because you could get there so much quicker. And if I didn't ride the longboard, I'd ride a scooter. Dude, and I didn't really give a shit,

dude. Scooter and college is crazy. I saw the guys ripping scooters. It was a purple scooter. And it was great, dude. Yeah, it was nice.

You would rip a scooter to class? Kambu? I didn't hear about this. I didn't know that either. I wrote a scooter around, too. And people would, like, laugh at me and shit, but I didn't really care.

What about when Casey Neistat had the, so that was, he was way ahead of that. There's time with that boosted board because now there's a bunch. But dude, those are sick. Those things are sick and they've only gotten better. Also, I'm sure you guys have all seen the electric unicycles. Yes, they're...

No. Okay, we rode them at the Drift Mansion. We rode them at the Drift Mansion. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But the, so those are fun, those are cool. They're like one wheel, a little different, but have you seen the people just ripping traffic speeds? It's nuts. You're like the Asian people going upstairs with those things?

I have seen, also I've seen, like, people. Oh, they're race, man. matters in this, Ken. I've seen some people doing, like, hill climbs with them and obviously hitting jumps. It's just kind of wild. There's a reason none of us have pursued that because it does. It seems like not an if, but when. It's like a one wheel.

It's like a one wheel. Like, all of us have ate shit on a one wheel. You push it. You push it to the absolute limit. And then at the limit, you're going 20 miles per hour, leaning as far forward as possible, because that's how you get up to speed. And then the battery dies or it cuts out or something happens. Don't hit the beepers.

Remember when Ryan did a full on pushback? Yeah, I mean it's a second amateur mistake. Yeah, it was awful. You were scabbed up all over. That's how it was. I went down Pelican Point Drive on my longboard, my buddy Pete. And he's like, yeah, it's not bad. You're cooking by the end, though.

And I just was like, all right. It was like the first actual hill I bombed. And I just got speedwobles and died. Just straight, slid on my. chest for like 20 feet and it was right before that like our boss at sorbiz was like be careful you guys you know don't want to you know we need your your hands you know to make pizzas and then i came i came back and my hands were literal scabs oh no grated them off on on the pierroch yeah it's better to roll but it's just you just start sliding and you don't want to start tumbling there's few things

worse than road rash oh road rash is a dews yeah and like because it's your skin is healing like that's painful. That's the thing too, and you get those big scabs, it's like then your skin doesn't flex. Sometimes the worst pain is like day. Yeah, exactly, when it's all hard.

Just a big slab of bacon. Dude, or jerky, I mean. One wheel did such a good job of like making that more like accessible vehicle. For sure. For sure. Yeah,

you look at it and you assume it's going to be way harder to ride than it is. Yeah. It's just the tech in it is amazing. It's also just interesting. It's interesting that they kind of came up and they just stayed steady. You know, one wheels is a, it's a good brand. They're quality products. But then the hoverboard thing, there's like 6,000 different hoverboard makers.

Yeah, you're right. Nobody really ripped off a one wheel. Right. And you don't see, maybe they have a crazy patent. You don't see anybody riding a hoverboard. I'm talking even like a kid at a park. You don't see anybody riding hoverboards. Dude, those suckers were the rage.

Remember that Christmas when everybody got hoverboards? So many of them were so shitty That they all just started on fire And those were like What we don't deal with any of that Little Aiden's got one It's got the Bluetooth speaker built in Yeah right in the wheel

It just burns around the house Listen to astronaut in the ocean What's that song Nerd? What you know about going? Oh that's funny That's a good little kid song Yeah

But on repeat For more than By the third time you hear it It's excessive And God forbid the 10th time My favorite I've seen it But around the house banging in the shit rock up and...

I've seen a few videos where little kids will get them spinning, you know, if you like lean one. You'll get them spinning and then they're spinning like literally they look like a top. And they're like... If you sit on them, that's how you do it. You sit on it and then you use your palms, one forwards, one backwards, one backwards, and you cyclone insane.

Whenever I think about those hoverboards, I just think of the time that Cody Sherbrook was sitting on one, and he went forward, and then he was like, ha ha, he starts laughing, and then he, like, kind of falls back, and then he just, like, full speed puts his head into our hammer-slogging table, and he cut his head open. What's that on video? Yeah, Jake just sent it to me today, actually, ironically.

What? Yeah. Yeah, like, literally is his last text he just sent it to Cody and I. Goes forward. He blew his head open. And then we, on the hammer-slogging table, riding a hoverboard, sitting down doing cyclones and then we super glued his head shut and all was well. Another clip that I just saw from you, I think you posted it,

but when Pat, our editor, wipes out on the skateboard and Don't goes to check on them and steps on the skateboard and then takes himself out. But none of us, me and Mike, you can see us in the corner and we weren't even watching, but it's just Pat goes down, Dalton goes down, me and Mike look, and they're just both laying on the floor. What just happened? It was a pretty rare occasion where they were laughing so uncontrollably, and you came over and you goes, what happened?

And you're like, but seriously, guys, are you guys actually okay? And I'm like, wow, pretty rare that Evan's not just laughing at them. Dude, my hardest laughs are always when I know that they're okay. They're okay, or at least minor injuries. When I piled that unicorn up into the tree, Evan didn't stop laughing for two hours. I still haven't stopped. That is the definition of one of the, like, you're never living that down.

Oh, my God. That one was a big one. In a memory in our group chat today, one of my college buddies, they were having like a fucking wrestling tournament or something dumb, but it was at our buddy Beerson's house. And he hit his head.

Oh. He had to get it shaved. Oh. He had a fucking bald spot in college. I love the timestamp too. I really am. They stapled together. It did not.

not look pain or like it looked like it hurt. But he had a bald spot for fucking half of his sophomore year of college. And, you know, this was junior year. And then freshman year he fell off a roof and broke his back. So he was in a back brace. I was going to say, was that, Korea is? Yeah.

He had a bit of, he was a bit of injury prone. I've always wondered how the staples work when they're in your head. I was, doesn't look like it works very well. There's not a lot of meat up there. Can we chat GPT why they use staples instead of stitches per se or any other method? I just feel like other parts of the body makes sense.

It's maybe too tough where they can't. Like when they staple it does it go into the bone? I don't think so. There's no way they're putting staples into your skull. That's what I thought happened. I'm like, so someone was explaining how their son like cut their head open and then they had to get a staple. I was like, oh, so we cracked his skull. Yeah.

And they're like, no, he just sliced his head open. I'm like, why did he need staples? But that's how they do. Do we get a too thick or something? I don't know. I mean, I imagine it's, it's. It's not doing what it looks like it does, because it's clearly not a normal staple that just, like,

go straight down because you can't even go, like, an eighth of an inch on your head and not be in your skull. It's because on the scalp your skin is thick. Staples are using such as itches for faster wound closure, especially for deeper long cuts, offering quicker application, lower infection rates, and strong uniform closure. How thick is your scalp?

Like, staples are also stronger and less tissue reaction. Less hair interference. They say staples are great for, the scalp because hair makes suturing slower and the scalp bleeds a lot. The follicles don't like playing with the needle. Lower infection risk. Your skull is 5 to 10 millimeters thick.

Your skull or your scalp? Your scalp's probably only like two or three. Three to eight millimeters is your scalp. Wow. Thick of skin on your body. Really? You guys ever get stitches? I know Mike has blown his needle.

Yeah, I got stitches many times. I don't even know how many times. Really? Yeah, I got some here He fell down the stairs When he was all piled up one night A leg Yeah

I've had some of my forehead Yeah, at least three, four times You guys know about my bad stitches I had, right? Yeah, and you're nuts Oh yeah, I can't remember if we talked about that Yeah, and you blew it open on a trailer Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, okay, yep, yep All I know is I'm glad I didn't break out

The Stanley Stapler I was fine with the sewing needle You know, I've heard more times than once I need a fucking binder for Gens. Like one of my buddy's dads was disconnecting his trailer and you know when you just wait on the trailer

you disconnect it comes up and knocked both his front teeth out. Think how much that would suck. Just, I mean, you know, you can make fake ones. Losing your front teeth, yeah, it does suck. I chipped my front tooth twice. Playing football on the bus. Damn.

Yeah. Bad ass. Wait twice. You ride the bench at the basketball court You're playing sports on the bus. Yeah. No, the first time was on the bus. And then the second time was back when D.L. Beach used to have, like, the log roll and, like, all the things in the water.

You guys remember that? It was lit. And I fell off and I, like, winced. And I opened my mouth when I hit it on the anchor underwater. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, I know. The doctor was like, how the fuck did you do that? Like, why isn't your lip cut and whatever?

They, like, didn't believe me. And I was like, no. It's almost one thing, though, if you're like, whether you're horsing around or playing a sport or doing a stunt, and like you knocked your teeth out or whatever. But like Mike was saying, like, can you imagine? You probably have a busy day.

Oh, yeah, that's not the first thing that's went wrong. Yeah. And all of a sudden, your teeth are fucked. Poor fellow. That's not the first time that something went wrong that day either. You know, like, you know you were fucking with the trailer and the lights didn't work and you're already pissed off. And then the thing knocks you out.

When Jay, we still didn't believe him. for the longest time, and he pulled up his security footage or something, but when Jake was loading, he got a Thump Star, very similar to an SSR pit bike, and he was loading it in the back of his edge, and he's like, yeah, I knocked myself up, loading my pit bike, and we're like, yeah, right, and then he, like,

pulled the security camp footage, and he's like, look, I'm laying there. How can you do it again? For like a minute. He, like... He, like... He, like... Sliped his face on the concrete or something? Yeah, or he, like, slipped, and then, like, hit his head on the peg or something. I don't know. You got to be careful out there. He was unloading it or something. I don't remember.

He was up top. Yeah, that was just like such a classic, the boy who cried Wolf story. Yeah, like Jake told us that and we were like, no. Well, that didn't happen. No, dude, no, it actually did that, but I swear. This one's true. He had to go and pull the security camp footage. Classic.

Did you guys see like all those cars going for auction at the Barrett Jackson this weekend that were going for like $30 million? Yeah, like $30,000. Yeah, crazy money. What were there? Mika, actually. I like Eka auctions. Oh, was it? I don't know.

It just keeps seeing that like all these cars going for auction set. Like every single car that was going set a record for like the price. Yeah. Like an insane, like $35 million. Bro. Perk. Like for a car. For a Ferrari.

Inflation. I'm assuming they were limited edition or limited runs or what were standard. Anything special or? Fucking Toyota Corolla. 30. just wanted to spend money. 38.5 million for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTL. Don't know what the fuck that is.

Then a Ferrari Enzo for 17 million. A Ferrari F50 for 12 million. Another Enzo for 11. A La Ferrari for 11 million. So I saw all those though. And like I think that there's becoming this new wave of people investing or like spending money on things that aren't like traditional investments. That it's like a pretty crazy return.

like all those cars but uh did you guys see like logan paul's selling his uh like one of one of one one of one card yeah what is it's gonna sell for like 10 million dollars i guess it is one of one because it's i don't know enough about it but it's a it's a charzard all the graphic guy man it's like the illustrator it's like an illustrator card that was a part of this limited run and it was graded a psa 10 that's why it's one of one it's the only like highest grade highest condition card Like there's other ones that are like nines or whatever But yeah

Supposed this thing is worth like 10 million bucks or something It's at 6.3 million right now with 26 days left of the auction I remember when I was a kid I used to always like save my cards Oh these are gonna be worth something someday I totally just had shit cards My mom's in my note I mean I just like I had a holographic muteu Which I've seen that even in ass condition it's still worth like hundreds of dollars And then could be upwards of like real money

I don't know, not millions, but like thousands, perhaps. Yeah, that's cool. I was just going through my memorabilia box the other day, and then Sidney pulls up this. She goes, what's 89 tops, which are baseball cards? And she's like, this is, it says, you know, this is a gift to you, your first birthday, Micah, worth about $100 a day.

Hopefully it's worth much more in the future. And she's like, you should look this up. I'm like, oh my gosh, I haven't looked that up in so long. I mean, literally like, $100. I'm like, what a joke. That sucks. Yeah. There was a guy local around here.

They were talking cards and all that. And he was like, oh, I think I have one of these rare limited edition. I don't remember. It's like Michael Jordan first released for season or something like that. You know, there's only like 30 printed new back in the 90s when he was a kid. And he went home and, you know, they're worth like 30 grand today. Goes home, finds it in Chicago, sells it to a guy for 30 grand. No shit.

That's pretty late. The rookie cards are sick because, yeah, they didn't make much because they didn't know how good they would be at the time so having like a true rookie card. It is crazy. There's a lot of just like collector memorabilia like you said that you can make money on. I mean, it's just also one of those things. It's like how many people are like buying a car and they're like, oh, this is going

to be worth big bucks someday. And it's like you got to store it. Yeah, realistically. I'll be easier to do with the card. Like, I don't know. There's, I don't know. I think there's better. I still think we should buy some normal ass things.

Like I see at some of those auctions where it's just like, 1991 Silverado with like no miles on it and it goes for stupid money but all you do is just buy that sucker throw it in a bubble for 30 years

and you've been saying that with like crated dirt bikes and stuff like that dirt bikes or you see the three wheeler or the snowmobiles whatever but I'll probably never do it because I'm just getting older but if I'm going to do it

I need to hurry up and buy something but yeah we talked about it with the Yamaha the last year they made a Yamaha I'm like well because it feels weird to buy something a 20-25 and then be like, yeah, in 20 years, but that would have been a good time.

20-25 is a good year. Like, it sounds good, you know, when it's 50 years old. What about the Etney shoes, Ev? Oh, yeah, how are those doing? Perfect. They're comfortable. Yep, I bought a few pairs to wear. I haven't been buying any of the.

All the Shecklers are gone. Those are really the only ones that I was like. Potentially could go up in value. That's true, but the problem is I just keep wearing them. I've only got like. All right, no more. I think I have Because Etnese does still make shoes, you guys

Just not the Shecklers Just got to find a couple pairs Not in your size So you can't wear them No, and that is what I said I was gonna do You can still find them in other sizes But like the 9 to 12 range or whatever You cannot find them

But I still have three colored Three different colorways in them that are boxed up A couple of them that I've gotten shipped And they're still like in the bag They should I mean even open the shipping bag To check what's in the box I might open it up in 30 years and there's a freaking mouse turds in there.

There might be shoes. Just dust. Dust. I wonder how many crazy sports cards are just sitting in an attic somewhere. Like worth like crazy money. Like the million dollar cards. Yeah, especially when you're a kid, like, you don't really know. At least I didn't really know what I got.

I didn't know what it was worth money. You maybe think this one is because it's... And I also think you come into it just assuming that it's not. You know what I mean? I was the opposite. I was like, these are going to be like worth so much money. someday. Oh, you thought that back in the day?

Yeah. Really? Yeah. Like, Pokemon cards or what? Everyone would say that. Like, all my friends and stuff were, like, you know, but I just had trash cards. I didn't have any good cards. Would you trade them?

Yeah. Well, like, I don't even really know how I got my cards really. Like, I don't know if they were just. Probably the store. Like, I was, no, but I was never really, like, buying them. I think I just kind of got them, like, like, I had a friend or something. They were just his ass cards, gave them to me, and I don't know. Cards of trash.

I like old video games. I have Super Nintendo, original Nintendo, Sega, but I actually play the games, so I'm not trying to buy, like, new in-packaged games. But, like, I've spent, you know, over $100 on, like, a Mario game for Super Nintendo. That's sick. And it's, like, it's cool. I have it, and I use it, and maybe it'll break.

So I'm like, I'm not really, I'm not buying it to make money. But it sucks because there's, like, a lot of games for PlayStation 2 that are getting crazy in price. Really? There's this fighting game, Def Jam Vendetta. Yeah. Def Jam the record label. Or not, Vendetta is the first one.

Fight for New York is the one. But now to get a playable, a disc only that they claim as playable is going for like $2,300. And if it's new in the box, I mean, with the, I mean, thousands. And it's like, I just want to get this game so I can play it again. Talk to Justin. He knows how to do the emulator shit. It's not the same. It's not.

It's not. Well, no, it is, but it's not. It's not the same. It's better playing it on the console. You need an old TV to play it on too. Actually, this is funny. A couple nights ago, I watched a full rundown on how to fully mod a PS2 with simple bolt-ons from Amazon.

Like you don't need to like take it apart. You just like plug this in here, plug that in there, plug that in there, spend a couple hundred bucks and then you can play all the, anything you want. Yeah, you can buy modded Xbox, like originals or even 360s. and it'll come with like 10,000 games on it. And you don't ever have to change. It's just a hard drive. Yeah, they're not that much money, but I hear mixed reviews.

Like some of them are just laggy and shit. But I deeply regret the way I treated my PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 games. They lived in a stack on top of my PlayStation. And you just shuffled through them. And yeah, yeah, there's 20 games just stacked right on top. That always drove me nut. I couldn't do that. And also if I was at a buddy's house,

then I'm like, hey, where's the case for that? I don't have one. Just, I'm like, I was the opposite. It's going to get scratched. I always had them in the case. I threw all my cases away, but I had like the little folder, like the disc folder. So, yeah, I have a bunch of games.

I don't like to throw it on the case away. I like looking at it. I know. That's how I feel dumb. If anyone wants to sell me Def Jam, fight for New York for a hundred bucks, I don't need the box. Get my DMs.

And if anyone wants to sell me a Shrek Tube TV with them, built in for a decent price I'd take it they made a lightning McQueen one too I yeah oh that's lit it's crazy the tube TVs have gone up but particularly those two with the built-in VHS are they're going for like a grand one so oh that's sick my bedroom I grew up in at my parents house my mom still held on to the built-in VHS tube TV not a special edition but that it's still just it sits there and she's like I just keep it you never know if you're going to need that's so watch a VHS for some reason. Exactly.

It's just sitting there. And it's also like, I had to get a VHS player to pull a bunch of the old tapes for the wedding video. It was a pain in the ass to even get a VHS player. So if you just had the TV with it, you just get to pop it in and that's it. Shrek TV in the box unopened, 6,500 bones. Okay, they've gone up even more. Who helped out of that without opening it?

I really wonder how people don't open shit. In the box. I think you jump on one, Mike. I'd be a flex. I don't even know if I know what you guys are talking about. This was before your time, Ben. Dude, do you know what VHS is?

So it's like a- I know what a VHS is. It's like a big cassette tape. Okay. Lightning and Queens is. And you had to rewind it. But don't pause it for too long. You have to use the stop button.

If you pause it, it'll burn the tape out. Really? So your parents know if you were pausing it at the titty scene for too long. And too long could just be a matter of minutes. When you watch the movie through normally, it'll go,

uh-uh. You learn that one the hard way? No, no, I just know it happens. What about if you pause something on those old tube TVs, wouldn't burn on those? No, that wasn't tubes. That was plasma. No, it was plasma.

It could happen on a tube, too, but you'd have to leave it on for like days. The static. I just remember like the old static, like the tube being static. Yeah, gosh. Dude, they do not make shit like this anymore. Like, look at this TV. It's got a little Lightning McQueen remote. It's kind of fucking lit.

You want to know. How much? Oh, this is lit. That's a DVD one. Imagine, dude, unwrapping that at Christmas. I had one of those. And I remember vividly in Walmart, they'd have a huge stack of them, $99. That's how much it costs for that TV.

But the late generation, like Sony Tube TVs, I mean, there's other brands, but like they have went up in price. My parents have one of those. Everyone was just ditching them, ditching them, ditching them. But now people like me that want to play retro games on a original. unit to have it look good it has to be on you ever thrown a cinder block through them fuck that's oh yeah it's so fun dude broken a number of we used to do that in college we would go around town people would be throwing them away and we'd grab them and then we'd bring them to our apartment and then

we'd throw bricks at them it's just crazy though that like 15 or 20 or 10 whenever good TVs got good people were paying to dispose them and now they're worth like I know good money like crazy well there's how things come around There's like copper in them. And I remember like if you would set it out on like cleanup day, people would go around and instead of taking the TV, they'd just bust the back open and take the copper. And then like you'd have then really a piece of junk that no one wants.

They'd have plastic and shit, bust it all over the place. Yeah, they'd make a mess. I wonder how many people listening right now are collecting something that is abstract and not your traditional piece of collectible, like just waiting for it to go up in value. Leave a comment down in, below this podcast. If you're a hoarder of random shit.

Yeah, I'm curious. I don't know what people are thinking are going to go up in price. Or even if it's not, I'm kind of curious about that too. What you collect? Yeah, like some people are like, yeah, I know they're not worth anything, but I like rocks. So I have a bunch of rocks, not just like 20, but like I have a whole like shelf, like a room full of rocks. Those will never be worth anything. Eggitz.

I don't even know what that is. You don't know what an agate is? Just got a rock. Oh. I think I got called that once. You don't know what an agit is? I don't like so. You've got to be actually, you literally don't know what it is.

I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. It's the rock with the little sparkles on the inside. No, no. Google a damn agate. They very.

Why do a picture of you come up? Oh, you had F in front of it. Okay. Okay, yeah. But like, people will just like go to gravel pits and stuff. Like, the first one that came up. Massive four-pound Lake Superior Eggett. Yeah, it's probably worth $20,000.

They had one of those for sale at the jewelry store. I was there with Alex who was getting a ring cleaned. It's like poor people diamonds or something. You could attain that. You could drive right now to a gravel pit and try to find something that's worth $3,500. And if you cut that open, it's got a crazy inside. No, that's an amethyst. Oh, I like those.

Or Gioed. All right, boys, we're talking about rocks. We might have to call it. We might have to call it here, boys. That's crazy. Wait, why is Wayfair? selling it. Dude,

Wafers always got. Natural loose gemstones. Guys, remember when we opened the podcast up and we asked Ken what the older mom or the mom's liked and you said a man. That's loose. Young and loose. Yeah.

I would not describe it as that. Bad way to describe my lifestyle, but okay. Okay, your lifestyle is loose. You're right. You are loose. You're going to go with the flow. You're down for anything.

Flexible. Kind of flexible. flexible. God bless you, Ken. All right. Thank you for listening. Life White off a podcast, post every Tuesdays. Don't forget to like and subscribe. And don't let your meatloaf.
