I hope you guys feel good. Got me up off my deathbed for this.

You were not on your death bed. You're a little sick. I was on the couch. The death couch. podcast number 69 we're back oh it's 69 yeah damn this is legendary we 69 in none of us

are 69 in with each other but we're 69 in today Jesus Mike too early too early for that in the 69th annual podcast you guys want to hear something funny yes love to horses are the number one most farted on animal farted on well obviously yeah I just had I got a good kick out of that it's like pretty obvious that horses are the most farted on animal ever. Behind Evan's girlfriend.

Damn, bro. No, that's a hit on Evan. That's a hit on Evan, not his girlfriend. That's cold. Yeah, Evan's actually out of town today. His friends back home are throwing him a surprise birthday party, and the weather got really bad. And we kind of just, I mean, wanted to be there, of course,

but it looks like they got a keg. I saw legitimately, I saw some snap of them in a little John. bond boat with no motor. How are we going to get the keg to the lake? Well, let's just put it in the John Boe and ride down the hill. Classic. I'm bummed because, so I was helping her kind of facilitate more so just the schedule of the surprise.

That way Evan would be there because obviously we're going on our RV trip at the end of this week. So they're throwing it a week early for him. But, God, me telling Evan, like, you need to be home at, on by Friday. I think they kind of pissed him off, dude. Because he was in a pissed off mood. And I was like, fuck. fucking not like it's like what do I do not let him show up to his own birthday party or like tell him like you need to leave now get over like you know dude I'm gonna get home when I get home yeah yeah

he was there's no agenda he's like oh get there when I get there like no no you got to go now which he still had plenty of time for he was leaving on a Wednesday morning he just had he just had to be back by Saturday and it was just so funny because we thought he would be but CJ's like yo you're gonna be back by Saturday and he's just like not if some bullshit comes up like the way down yeah because he had the worst drive down down there, which I think contributed to quite a bit of stress for the drive back. I never realized Evan was under such a large amount of stress. Stress.

Or maybe that he didn't handle stress so well. Because that drive, that drive really brought it out of him. Yeah, I brought a new side of him out that I haven't seen. That's for sure. Yeah, so we were just in Florida, and we needed to get, we need to make a few things happen while we're in Florida. Most of the things were covered except how do you get our water cross automobile to Florida while you try you try to get it shipped you know just classic how do you get a snowmobile to

florida and most of time on a short notice too it's like within a week we're trying to find a shipper to ship it so no one bid on it and uh you know we're like evan you know your job descriptions wide you got to drive to florida add trucker to the list as in none exist yeah that's what i mean it's wide like anything we say goes but he started making the drive while we all just are chilling at home because we fly there. We weren't chilling. We were all working, Mike. You got to make it sound like real assholes, Mike.

Yeah. We just had the easy way out, but you're right. The whole reason we didn't, I guess, ride with them is because it takes two days to drive down there, at least. Dude, I would have loved to have hopped in the truck and drove down to Florida. Yeah, honestly, I feel like that's rather, obviously it could be stressful with some people, but for me, you just fucking get in and go. When you have problems like Evan had, which is when the deaf system goes out on the truck

and leaves you stranded. the trip. Yeah, it can be stressful. I do want to just preface though. We weren't at home chilling. Ben and I were, Ben and I were editing. So that way we could have a video for Thursday. Mike was doing designs. Ken was shipping out orders that way they could be to your door at a timely manner. Ryan was editing the podcast. So it was kind of like, well, it looks like you're going to be the guy that has to drive it. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. I just laugh. Because I already know people We're just at home chilling. You know, we're just here.

Man, really F that one up. Sorry, I have. But, okay, what's, I don't understand how we have a, uh, 2020 truck and the deaf system, which you legally have to have goes out at 30,000 miles. Like, how does that a thing? I think the even worst part is we're not the only ones. It seems like it's very common. So we're all at home trying to get this figured out calling dealerships.

Ken's calling everyone like, you know. Yeah, and he was kind of a not, ideal spot. You were somewhere in Illinois. Middle and nowhere, it seemed. Yeah. And basically when the system goes out, it's like you have 70 miles until it's limited to five miles per hour, which is like, all right. So he's calling us. He doesn't want to waste his mileage, obviously. And then we're calling around and we put stuff up on Instagram. You guys were replying to our story and stuff, giving ideas. But one of our buddies, Kevin knew a guy that had a shop not too far from there. So we ended up having him go to there.

And he's fixed the truck. Okay. Fixed a truck. Yep. Properly. And then. So we will not have that problem again. No.

No. I don't even know if you have to put any fluid anymore. Okay. But I mean, like, maybe not even diesel after this. But like Evan's got to, the whole thing, he's got to get himself to the shop with that truck somehow. But he's also got to get a rental to Ken's lining up for him. And he's also got to transfer over a snowmobile, two pit bikes, two jet skis to the trailer. I could see how it was stressed.

I definitely put a bad taste in his mouth. And you're all alone. Yeah, when you're all alone, that shit's hard, dude. Luckily, they were there to help, like, the people. And I was talking and I was like, we need you to help. Oh, I don't think on the way, that's why on the way there, they weren't. Like, he's like, dude, it was the most brutal, like, swap process ever. It's literally raining sideways while I'm trying to unload a snowmobile into another truck.

But my favorite part is that the rental we got him can take from Illinois all the way down to Florida. Got to get it back, though. It was a four-cylinder, full-sized half-ton pickup. Admittedly, the thing was kind of zippy for a four-cylinder. I can't believe they make trucks like that. But I guess it's no difference than like Ken's Bronco. It's a four-cylinder. It still goes.

It's got a turbo, I should say. Four cylinders and fluid in your exhaust. Welcome to the future. And then, yeah, Evan made it down there. We got to Florida and he missed the first day, which is a lot of fun. Yeah, we were out filming with the Gators, if you guys haven't seen that already. was a blast probably top five funnest videos or funnest video bits that we've filmed in my opinion yeah it was just just like i said it in the video but the the youtube videos bring us and

have us do so many cool things that we would normally never have the opportunity to do solely off of just the connections that we've made or they're so outlandish why would we ever do it and like riding with alligators is just one of those ideas down some river It was so, so sick. The alligators were a nice touch because it added an element of danger beyond what it already was, was. Because, like, dude, it was a track for jet skis. It was so much fun. And it was cool because there'd be, like, trees and stuff sticking out or, like, on certain banks, it would be super shallow.

So you'd have to kind of navigate, but, like, we were ripping. It was so fun. It was like, it's literally like riding a trail on a dirt bike or a snowmobile, but for your jet ski. Instead of just having like this big open area to go to, you're just like, all right, we're driving 40 miles that way. And it was so much fun. But I didn't realize there was jet ski guys. Like I didn't realize there's people that do that.

Like the jet skiing is a sport. So like the guys that we were with, we were with, literally they go jet skiing on the weekend. They trailer it to a new spot or whatever. And they go jet skiing as if it was like, we're going dirt biking on the weekend. But like around here, it's kind of like, it's so different. You just kind of maybe have a jet ski and you go tool around out in the lake to a couple. circles it's a whole other life way different and it makes sense i mean why so many people would be so into jet skis because that was a fun that was fun i would do that again in a heartbeat and it is pretty

funny that most a lot of guys down there they wouldn't think twice about that that's hit the river yeah there's gators there's gators everywhere however you got jean he's got a little jet ski rental company he stays in the ocean we're like jean this is your first time in the ocean he goes yeah for good or sorry not in the ocean in the river with gators he's like yeah for good reason and it'll be the last time too like there's more uh alligators than you can count yeah in the in the small stretch that is i mean they're left right left right couple there couple there swimming in swimming out big too like huge probably saw like some 12 15 footers like massive massive gators no one got bit by an alligator dude i i so i was as i was editing the video i was like man i wonder actually

how dangerous this was i probably should have taken the time to like maybe do some research beforehand but I just looked up how many people have gotten eaten or died from alligators in the last year. And there was like four people in the last year. But in the last like 70 years, there's been like 26. That's so low. Maybe not really not quite. In the last 70 years? Yeah, like something like they're starting to.

No, no, no, like something like insanely low. Yeah. Wow. Like way less. Yeah. Then you would think. I think being that we're. Hold that up.

So northern. Back check that. It was something very foreign to us. and seemed more dangerous than it was, but like I said in the video, it's not really as dangerous as you'd think. Well, it looks like they're jumping in and swimming after you when they're jumping in to get away from you. Yeah, they're just getting cover.

Yeah, like I compare it. I mean, this is a bad comparison I've heard from some people, but we have snapping turtles up here and people are like, oh, you're going in the water where there's a snapping turtle. I'm like, the only way you're going to get bit is if you're up in their personal space. I know alligators are a little hungier and have bigger personal spaces. And bigger teeth. And bigger teeth, bigger mouth. But you're really only going to get bit

if you're like kind of up in their grill, in their space. I don't think they would... Let's say your jet ski died. I don't think you'd find an alligator jumping up onto your running board trying to snap your feet. Yeah, that's what I was worried about. Like if you did, could they're so big,

they could easily just come in like even just like right on the side and they're so aggressive. They could just clamp on and like drag you with them, I guess, like the actual jet ski itself. I was like, I don't know. just seems like extremely unlikely. And then after researching, that's not something that they do. So, so from 1948 to 2021, 442 people have been bitten by alligators and 26 have died. That's pretty low. That's so low. I'm like, I mean, how many people die from bees every year?

Or dogs. I bet you more people die from dogs. Wow. But yeah, we title our next video. 30 to 50 a year. We title the next video. How about like dirt biking with dogs? 60, 60 deaths. from bees a year a year way more than alligators yeah so uh yeah right before we went though i was talking to jet ski ryan the original jet ski ryan i was like hey how how dangerous is this and goes no you guys aren't really their type they're more into like older ladies and like dogs i was like that seems so specific he was like no you'll be fine yeah i think that is what happens when most people like the dog the gator comes up gets the dog and then the old lady goes in the pond to try to save the dog and then that's wild though like some of these florida men were like

if we see a gator like up close i'll jump on its back yeah geez i was like dude that that just seems like really bad idea i mean mike swimming in the river seemed like a really bad idea and it wasn't even doing much but right but actually going after one that's like i live my life based on statistics as far as that stuff goes like this statistics statistician are so low they're so low and i knew they were low not that low and so i'm like what's gonna happen it was really funny uh sid was at a baby shower so like your whole family was like why why would he swim in there like that when's you gonna cut out doing silly stuff like that oh they did say though i was wondering what they were going to say about you doing that and and and it really family said that like Ryan's i mean yeah

they were just they were just like he's crazy like you know he's going to get wins he's cut out all that little little stunts he's doing yeah yeah and i'm just like Realistically, like driving to grow up. Driving to work is like extremely more dangerous. Yeah. Apparently. Is it, I just. What did Sid say about it?

I mean, I don't, she kind of understood. Oh, did she or was she like, why did you do that? No. Honestly, I feel like my girlfriend or mom would have been like, why did you do that? And then I guess you explained to him and all that seems a lot more dangerous, but I can understand where they're coming from. It's like for planes. I, this doesn't really help people. I think we talked about this.

doesn't help people, but I'm like, statistically, you ain't going to die. You're just not. Planes are safe because they are. They're safer than cars. And if you are going to die, there's nothing you can do in the back of the plane. You can do about it. You might as well drink your free Jack Daniels and have a good time. Yeah.

Well, where we get put, yeah, we don't get free anything. We don't even get the seats to lean back. Yeah. Because you guys were in like literally the last row. Yeah. What do you mean? Every single time. Every single time.

I couldn't press. I couldn't go back at all. So it was just straight up. Dude, it's amazing. Ben, we're like, where are the other guys who look at that damn up there? Getting snacks and whatever else. Ken, why do you put us in the back? Just me and CJ every single time.

I feel like it's a hit out on us. I had five days to book this trip. I took what I could get, okay? But like he's got these, you know, he has to choose. Okay, so I got five people, five spots here. Two of them are in the back. Who am I going to put in the back? Hmm, the two guys that put me on a billboard.

Well, let's work in a reverse order. How about it? Yeah, we'll start in the back and then it makes sense. Start with me and then it just goes in. I think it's the who's the most recent person I added to a flight. Oh, you know damn well it goes in alphabetical orders. It should be Ben, CJ, and then either Mike or Ryan. Well, one thing, like, do you guys go in and change your seat in the app?

Well, up until the last flight, I didn't even know I had a log in for the app. So I guess in my defense, I'm still figuring this old. fly and pick out. Because that's like I go in and I take myself out of like a middle seat and put myself up against a window. Yeah. Yeah. And like up until we started flying for your trip. I didn't know that it was even an option to pick your seat. No wonder we're in the back. I thought you just bought your ticket and they put you where you put you and then you could maybe do some swindling. Within reason. Yeah. Within reason. They put you where they put you initially you initially and then you can pick from there like hey there's an open seat here i can i can

switch it yeah that's usually how it goes and also your status i think's help like ken's freaking triple gold platinum he gets a free jerk he's milking all of our shit putting everything on under yeah that's why i don't have any points wouldn't you i don't get any points either if you were the travel advisor wouldn't you well yeah I guess yeah you got a good point yeah I would like to talk about my big moment I was gonna just bring that up big congrats on that Ryan been two years coming oh your jet ski moment yeah you know I bet already forgot I think I expected a lot more comments about you know people like oh Ryan finally got the flip maybe a little selfish for me but way more people were excited about me being caught in the background of a camera shop peeing yeah yeah people couldn't

believe that. And then they were mind-blown when I left in the shot of a GoPro falling off of like the jet ski and falling in. That's cool. Pro at 723. Somebody see that? And there's like everybody has to be 2,000 comments. The thing that you kind of can tell in the video, but not really, is I went into that with the idea that all I had to do was get the jet ski around and kind of just land.

I was confused that you even would think that. That surprises me to no ends. You didn't want to ride away? I didn't even know it was possible in this time frame. Oh, wow. Like, I don't understand. It'd be like doing a backflip on a pit bike to wood chips and then just crunching it up every time.

And then just celebrating. Jumping it over every time. You're like, all you got to do is make it from here to here just to the down. But you went into that without intentions of riding away. I didn't know that it was going to be, I mean, not easy because it wasn't easy at all. It took me freaking two and a half hours. But I didn't. know that like even riding away from it was going to be an option on that jet ski with my

skill so yeah i guess i was confused when you were celebrating like yeah it was like literally we'd been over like two minutes and we all were like yeah he made it around now he just got to ride it out and your arm was just like he went well i didn't know if i could do that was it difficult to do or did the jet ski do most of the work no the jet ski 100% did most of the work the guy that bought my old stand-up judgment goes joe that's so sick that you finally got it what did you do differently. And I was like, instead of riding a $10,000 jet ski, I wrote a $50,000 jet ski. So it made the like all the difference. I would compare it to instead of riding a bicycle being strapped to a rocket ship heading to space. Like it is literally that different. Camry to F1 car

440 fan to 850 boost. Now that you say that, it would have been even more impressive if you would have landed it on the other one too like looking back at how difficult that was because you know we're watching the videos of like these professional riders do it on these stand-up jet skis and we're like Ryan you can do that think about how impressed everyone would have been if you would have actually done it you really pulled that off you've got to have frick I mean how many attempts you think before you landed like total like over the years trying to do a backflip on a jet ski yeah I'd say it's got to be a hundred that's crazy wild and then the part that was like like so yeah you just explained the difference between these skis but he's like all right we're

going to do this and he kind of like warmed you up and then sent you out there keep in mind every other backflip ryan's tried was off of a pretty decent size wake it was way easier not straight up power and i agree and i would say that intimidating yeah and there was no timing because you used have to time the pre-hop while you were headed 10 miles an hour this way and the boat was headed this way this you just like did it and then when he felt good and there still was a level of timing because we wanted you to do it right in front of us i feel like if you didn't even have that. You could have tried it anywhere. Yeah, instead of having to make the loop and whatnot, but

yeah, it was so fun. But it was dope. I was talking to Ryan. I'm like, okay, so you did it. Now do you feel like conquered? How do you feel about like owning another jet ski like that? He's like, they kind of still want one now. But a real one. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean, it'd be sweet, but it's just like, it's way

too much of a commitment to the sport. Five homers. Yeah. And so keep in mind, I hardly have one Hummer. It doesn't have to be 50 grand, but it has to be at least 25. Yeah. You know, $50,000 on a freaking jet ski is insane. Stand-up jet ski that can't even go, like it holds one gallon of gas. Basically, the only thing it does is backflips and tricks.

It really is crazy. Because then you got guys building crazy sleds. I'm like, I can't believe someone's willing to put 30 grand in a snowmobile that they can only ride six months out of the year. But they're willing to put 50 into a jet ski. Different strokes for different folks. Yeah. That's crazy. That's crazy.

It's pretty cool also that we, when we were there at Wammleton, the Jetsky place. Oh, he finally got a shout-out. Yeah, he did. When we were there, so Chris Anizeseski is teaching Ryan. So he is number third in the world based on the Havasu World's competition. Pretty cool. The Jukish brothers, Gabe, is the older brother. He is number two in the world based on this competition.

And then Lee Stone was there. We met him, and he's number one in the world. He's won it like 10 times. It's just pretty crazy that we know the top three jet ski. freestyle jet skiers in the world and then me and Ryan's still my favorite dude they were saying it's nice to finally meet you because you get tagged in every single jet ski video that we post everyone just always tags at Ryan i works in any backflip jet ski video because now it's been such a meme yeah i know i've always wondered like what these true professionals it's like

congratulations Lee stone for winning worlds and it's like 50 comments of just my name he's had his crowning achievement for the year and it's just me tagged in it a bunch of crap like what the who is this guy sees me makes sense yeah it was really nice to be down in florida but we came back home it's a freaking blizzard so we are leaving again

yeah RV trip we've only been home for what we have like seven days at home and then now we're gearing up for another RV trip we might be the only people to ever plan a two week RV trip without planning anything that we're going to do on a two-week RV trip until like three days before we leave like we don't have anything planned is that stress you guys out yes and no yeah yeah i mean we still got to work out the fine details i think it's so hard it's like if we're gonna find details we're gonna travel across the country

yeah no i mean we have a we have some things jotted down but it's like if we're gonna travel across the country we should probably try to i don't even like using the word collab anymore but try to you know get together with other people whether it be a podcast or a video or just something even just hanging out but that is when your schedule gets demanding and and really hard you know you got to be with this person on this day at this time and and that's six hours from where you are right now and that's tomorrow morning or whatever crammed yeah so we're hoping definitely to meet up with a handful of people do we don't even have a plan so i can't even tell you where we're also where are we going yeah we're also planning on just kind of just having fun with the

six of us yeah it'll be good maybe seven maybe gab and What our plan is. We're going to have fun. We're going to have fun. You know, we got the details worked out. Now we're just working on the finer details. Well, what? First, Colorado, go see GAV, ride some three-wheelers.

And I think we go skiing. I would love that. Ken, can you ski? I haven't skied since I did something to my MCL probably 10 years ago. So you can ski, though. You can't ski. Depends. I don't know how well.

Like, I think skiing would be really entertaining solely because, it would just be funny to get like Ken and Ryan and CJ out there and then also on the aspect that Evan is a really good skier so it'd be like the two polar opposites we could call it reckless skiing

we just get after it but yeah that'd be fun has anyone talk to Gavin? No. We should probably text him and let him know we're coming too if you're watching this podcast right now I don't have to text when he listens

yeah we'll see you on Sunday All right so Colorado then what? Then we have to go all the way to L.A. Are we? Yeah. I think. Is that...

No, that is not locked in either for sure. We might have to. I don't really know. Man, I feel like it's just such a hike from Colorado to California. I mean, it is, but in the RV, it's so much easier. Yeah, we're chilling. Yeah. We got a better one this year, which will be nice.

Hopefully it's not falling apart, not falling apart, but it was just rattling. Everything was freaking rattling. It was loud. there, dude. Yeah, I'd say the noise was like the noise in the motor size. Like, yeah, the, the size of it could be bigger. We may do, but the motor. That's what she said.

Steve. It was pegged out the whole time. Yeah. It didn't help that we were pulling our, our 35 foot trailer loaded up. To the gills, dude. And the RV was packing what, eight of us? I think I saw the tow package for that. We're supposed to tow like a thousand pounds, which is effectively like a two-place

snowmobile trailer of the old one. I don't know what the new one is. I can't believe we put that thing through that. Yeah, like up through mountain passes, like real steep. Yeah, real stuff, not just idling around. You know what I think we should do, Ryan? Maybe the R6. What should we do?

You should drive your Hummer behind us. And then when we get to the Grand Canyon. When we get there, he wouldn't get there. Okay, well, when the tow truck gets doors to the Grand Canyon, we send it home. Yeah, the Grand Canyon. Yeah. I don't know what the legalities of that is. I'm sure it's very legal.

Ken, what's the legalities of sending a Hummer H2 off the Grand Canyon? I'm sure it's anything like you're throwing garbage in a national park. It's probably not encouraged. I think it would be the best word. You know, she's not garbage. Greg Godfrey jumped a motorcycle into it.

That's true. I think that was like 30 years ago, but I think he got in trouble for that. Yeah, they have like an event. I think it's in Alaska. I want to go to this. Yeah. They have an event where they, you know, you just show up.

All you got to do is bring a car and everyone just crowds down below and watches cars launch hundreds of feet off of a cliff. It's the best thing ever. Ken, pull this up. Where's the crowd out? So there's like a big kind of canal, river, lake area and then they're on the other side. It seems like they're too close. It's one of those things like, however far away they are, it's not far enough.

And, you know, some of them like don't go well. and other one, you know, some of them only make it halfway down, kind of just crumple up, and other ones just go, do, do, do, do, do, that's what I want. Yeah, we got to go. Dude, the Hummer would probably land on all four and just keep going.

Oh, we've never seen such a thing. We thought it wouldn't even make it to the edge. Here we go. Look at that, dude. That's a good one. Straight to the bottom. And I love how they have, like, dude, this would be a great thing for your home.

And look at the crowd. Oh, no. Like, what if. All right, we got to do it with the Hummer. What if someone had, like, a land. Lamborghini and it got up to like 150 and hit the jump and landed in the crowd down there. Oh, gosh. But that's what I love how there, everyone is far enough away that is, you can just kind of launch

whenever like these, you know, multiple vehicles going at multiple times at different angles. There's something that just brings people together, like destruction of vehicles. Yeah. No kidding. But yeah, I've always really wanted to go to this except for it's on the 4th of July, which is like a sacred holiday around here. Yeah. Yeah, it's like half the reason we live here.

We could just we just need a big hole We could do this at anywhere around here Well this is pretty much what we do Yeah I was gonna say We just need a bigger jump Oh it's got like it's on a track Oh is it? That's interesting yeah

So it's on like almost like a railroad Single track in the middle And it makes sure it hits the jump That makes sense Because I was like there's no way They got people just diving out all these cars I can't believe people are in here I think we got to go to Alaska

I would love to go to Alaska Never been That was a 13-20 video, dude. I just found out that 1320 was the amount of feet that a quarter mile is. Like, I just found that out like two days ago. That makes sense. And I'm like, yeah, I'd see why they named the channel that now. Isn't that what Cletus came out of?

Yeah, I used to work for them. Really? All right. So anyway, Colorado to California. That's all we got planned. No. No, we got more. You're downplaying this so hard.

Have you checked the notes document that I made? Yeah, they are extremely vague. No, it's almost day by day planned out for how little we know. Yeah, I mean, I'm not just going to be like, oh, great. I think we'llet at 12.30. 15 minutes to eat. 15 minutes to eat. And if we're not on that, I just turn into like psycho.

It reminds me of a school trip, though. Like, you know, when we take the bus down to Florida, that's about how it is. All right, from 12 to 1, we're eating. You guys took a bus down to Florida? Yeah, for the band trip. Really? You went on a band trip? Yeah, yeah.

We played band at. Disney World. Really? Yeah. I could just see Mike on that bus just chees and just looking out the window. That was a good time. I actually remember on the bus,

some kids were using chewing tobacco. So they, no joke, well, they got snitched on. Damn. Bummer there. Who was it?

Who was a tattletale? Like me, of course. Dude, I honestly think one of the tattletails was the bus driver because there was a bed back there, so there was two drivers, so they'd switch back and forth. And so we were in the back of the bus,

you know, just chatting. and they were chewing tobacco. So they got kicked off the, well, like they got sent home. No way. And their parents had to fly them home. Damn. I'd be like.

And keep in mind, this happened like 25 hours into the 33 hour trip. No. Just had to fly back home and ride on a bus for nothing. You had to sleep on the bus? Yeah. That was, yeah. Yeah, I think they just drive like straight through. Straight through.

That sounds terrible. Honestly, don't think I could do it. No way, dude. I couldn't have done that. even back then. That's pretty crazy. That doesn't sound that bad. Yeah.

I guess. But it is funny. You're just like chilling with your homies. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that part sounds fun, but after 28 hours, I'd rather driving a pickup. So speaking of doing long drives. What's the long drive?

Well, just the drive I made yesterday. I'm kind of a trucker now. I drove eight hours. Oh, yeah. Or was it nine. I drove nine hours. Probably you did good. It's very good cause.

In one day, just to, so probably four and a half hours to Wisconsin. and then we spent 20 minutes surprising the giveaway winner with the snowmobile. He was electric. Yeah. It was totally worth it. Probably the most excited I've ever seen anyone.

Yeah. He took his shirt off, pulled his pants down, started a helicopter in his dick. Oh. Yeah, it was crazy. Jumping up and down. Oh, he was crying. It was the strangest thing, but it was lit.

Like, it was great content. And then we got back in the truck and I drove four and a half hours, Pack home. It just reminded me, though, that you're talking about doing drives. Riding a pickup, not bad, when there's only four guys in it. No. Yeah, so we're relatively in the planning process still, but I definitely, if I were on the West Coast and you're listening to this and you have anything in mind that you think that we should do, comment it. We'll try to read through them and add stuff to list as we go,

but maybe thinking about riding some pit bikes down the Vegas strip, which would be like pretty surreal. I don't know if that's going to happen, but that would be so cool. That would be sick. Yeah. I don't know if, I don't know if he was saying the Vegas trip. This guy that I met in Vegas last time, he was a waiter. He gave me his number. I was like, yo, if you guys want to ride some pitters, like we go in like the undergrounds of Vegas. Oh, underground. Oh, really? I looked it up and dude, I mean, the undergrounds of Vegas looks scary. I mean, like I was like, you know, concerned going into Slab City and I feel like I probably handled it pretty well the undergrounds of

Vegas looks sketch there's like people doing drugs and stuff down there just like this whole other like society it looked like I don't know just look it up on YouTube but you think it'd piss them off riding really loud well that's what I'm thinking you come pulling down there and then it's like dark down there dude it's like

dark what's going on it's weird like what is the undergrounds of Vegas for yeah I don't even know that was a thing I don't know I think there's storm drains maybe for storm drains yeah it's what it looks like maybe look it up can just pull it up so we can look but you know the idea sounded the idea sounded great and then i like for some reason saw a video of it i was like oh i don't know if i want to do that anymore you know me i just love really scary places out of my comfort zone i did so well in slab

city yeah you did make a lot that was just another one of those things too like riding with gaiters going to slab city it sounds crazier and then when you're actually in it you're like oh this isn't yeah this isn't that wild like most things when you do it. You're like, oh, it's not that bad. Maybe we should go down. But that one was still, like, me and CJ were like, what are you talking about? This is just fine.

And even in the moment, you guys were not feeling it at all. Yeah, it was pretty scary. We're not even scary. It wasn't scary. It was uncomfortable. Well, you guys clown me for wanting to, like, live there. Everywhere. Well, Michael, we love this place.

Yeah, Mike wasn't freaking out. It was just a hole in the ground. Ken and Ryan. But yeah, dude, I mean, I'm honestly good, though, on Slab City. Like, I don't, there's nothing else that they could, that they could offer. that we haven't already experienced, I'd say, but... I think it'd be cool to go back to Slab City and bring stuff. Yeah, I want to give some supplies.

I like that. They don't care about money. What they want is some booze, cigarettes, water, water, weed. They don't do vapes there. It's just no actual necessities. Everything except for vape. Some food. Trying to put an end to it.

No, they don't smoke vapes out there. You know who else? Doesn't smoke vapes? Us? Well, I thought it would be Ken after the billboard, but I learned that it would be. made absolutely no change he's a tough cookie to crack yeah like i said i thought i thought that it would do it maybe we got it instead of the billboard we got to get him in rehab rehab i've i'm not

doing your rehab bullshit ken that's what they all say said every person to rehab going to rehab ever rehab bullshit i don't need rehab honestly can first step you hate the vape jokes and content so much. I figured that would just be your final straw to be like, all right, I'm done. I feel like the more you try and push me to do something, the more I'm going to resist and just say, fuck it. Believe me. This is what I was saying. If you want Ken to do something, tell him to do the opposite of it, and he will do what you want him to. It's basically just a mind game. You think we should surprise him with vapes? Hey, Ken, don't pick up that empty bottle on the floor there. Don't put it in the trash either. Then he'll pick it up and put it in the trash.

trash you got to just play it old-fashioned reverse psychology so tell them ken we love it when you vape can i buy you some more you know i'm not really feeling this anymore i don't want you vape the fuck out of here now get excited this is big for the summer's biggest adventure i think i just smurf my pants that's a little too excited sorry smurfs now playing here's the yeah you Here's how you get him to quit. You guys start vaping with him, and he's like, ah, you're cramping my style. Yeah, that would do it.

Listen, guys, there can only be so many vapors in this crew. Yeah, the billboard was a lot of fun, kind of learning that it doesn't cost, for what we get out of it, it doesn't cost all that much to rent a local billboard in town. Yeah, it's all right off too. And, you know, as long as it's somewhat appropriate, you know, there's some lines it can't cross,

they'll do it, and they'll put it up. $1,200 bucks, pretty good. Whatever, plastered up or however that works. Yeah, can we talk about just, like, the whole process behind that? Yeah, I didn't realize how much work went in behind the scenes for you guys on that. Well, because I was one of the people who got surprised. You three were in on it. Yeah, so I've had that idea in my notes for a while.

It wasn't necessarily Ken. It was just like, what could we put on a billboard for years, actually? And initially, I was going to, I want to do it on the electronic one that goes by, it just like flips through them. But I started thinking about that shit's lame. hit the same. That's not the same, yeah. Like a couple months ago, I just started looking up Newman signs and just gave him a call and asked how much it would be to, you know, get a billboard. And they told me $1,200. I was expecting like $10,000. When they said $1,200, I was like, eyes lit up, went over, told Ben, and then we just started plotting like, what'd be something

good to put on it. Who's going to be the victim? Well, I mean, yeah, I guess we just didn't know, like, how savage to go with it. Well, you were limited to because, like, It's a public billboard. Like, you can only go, you can only do so much on a, you know. But a vaping billboard, you know, it's a good cause to somebody who has a de-vaping. Yeah, like an anti-vaping. It's, you know, makes sense. And we just knew that was Ken's trigger spot.

Right. It flowed really well with the hypnotist, which I think the billboard might have been scheduled before the hypnotist. So it was all just storyline really nice. Yeah, it did. And it looks professional too, because we kind of like, drew it up and here's where we want this. Here's what we want saying.

Mike went in there and put his graphic design touch on it. We're like, oh my God, this is like a full on. This is a real billboard. Well, the guy that I sent it to, he did hit me up. When after I sent it, he was like, I don't know if we can run this. And this kind of seems like a hit piece out on Ken, yada, yada. And then I just was like, I just sent back this like really long thing. I was like, oh, no, no, no.

He's all in on it. He thinks it's funny. you know this has been a long thing coming and uh this is all for content and he he knows it's going down when in reality ken didn't and i was like just run just run the billboard july we were going to have have them call and put like me on hello this is ken yeah i was worried you was going to ask well can i just talk to ken i was that's why i was like okay ben be ready i'm going to send him over your way i think it was pretty smooth and seamless yeah and then we figured out the last thing ken wants to do is go to rehab.

Yeah. Yeah. That was really what scared him. He really showed his cards there. What do you think I'm fucking blind? Not fucking blind, CJ. And we're like, oh, shit, okay, he saw. He's just not really giving us a reaction.

And then he finally sees the billboards. It's like, Jesus. It was right in from the whole time. Can't make it up. When do you read, like, notice a billboard? You get so blind to all these billboards out there. You just focus on other things. And it's just like that's an accessory on the side.

You don't even like realize it's there. I agree. I agree 100%. So it's probably not too big of a deal having it on the billboard. Oh, my phone has been blown up. Really? Probably from the video rather than the billboard. Yeah.

But still, like I get texts from all the local people. Hey, hey, nice billboard. Yeah, I'm sure there's just plenty of that in general. I did get a couple texts from friends and like mainly parents that have kids that watch our videos. And let me, let me read it actually because it was it was good. And Ken, I think you're a part of a bigger cause that you should be proud of. You're sacrificing yourself to save the young and up-and-coming. Unwillingly.

Well, Ken, sometimes doing a good deed isn't by choice. The sign for Ken is actually a great message for your core followers, my son. Your followers really look up to you guys and they see vaping is not cool. Thank you. I know Ken. I know Ken, and I'm sure he doesn't like it, but it sends a good message. I think it's, it is funny, though, because there's like such a wave. It's a positive message.

There's been such a wave of like everyone, was smoking cigarettes and then cigarettes became not cool and if you were smoking darts people thought it was gross and now everyone is smoking vapes and i think that there's going to be a wave of people being like oh my gosh don't put those chemicals in your body more than there already is and and smoking vapes isn't going to be cool i've been saying it forever i mean it is funny we kind of are on the forefront and there's been like like uh certain things especially with like the robot dick story that went viral i'm leading a revolution yeah I think so.

I think so against Ken's will. You know, I'm trying to save his life. I'm confused. Well, I'm not confused because I know you're addicted, but you hate it so much, but you're still not willing to quit.

Like, doesn't hate vaping. He loves it. No, he hates that we make like a joke out of it. Because after the billboard incident, you were so mad. I got mad because I couldn't sleep that night

because my phone was fucking blowing up. I was like, I couldn't go to bed. somehow kids if you you can block people on your phone but if they face-time you it still goes through so i could not sleep i don't know why you didn't just put on an airplane mode i i don't know i got so sick of it and i was just i couldn't sleep that night and it was just like fuck this thing has to go down did you ever consider maybe i should just stop i mean yeah you should start answering to say i stopped i quit i quit calling they go oh okay well great uh hangs up right just people

in general, when they call you, it just gets really old. Oh, I'm sure. When you're getting 500 calls a day, it's just like, I can't. To be fair, you were kind of getting some call. I mean, yeah, it is totally, totally blew this out of water. This is a different level. Luckily, though, you know, you've changed your number now so everyone can quit calling. I mean, they can call it if they want, but it's not going to go through. It just goes like a beep, beep, beep. But I do feel bad for some of the innocent bystanders that were affected in this situation. Because apparently, someone, someone of the viewers are dyslexic and they dial the number wrong and this one guy was getting blowing up because you guys were calling the wrong number and he was like messaging me take the

video down fucking message our family members like please can you get a hold of them like take the youtube video down we're like dude the video ain't coming down like i didn't we didn't put your specific number like i can't control that people are dialing the wrong number and calling you i mean yeah it sucks i'm sorry but it'll die down in a little bit just like let it pass. Yeah, I ended up messaging the guy back saying, dude, I'm sorry. This sucks. But the video's not coming down. So I can't really help you. Also, it's not your phone number. So it's not like you did anything wrong there. And I was like, maybe try blocking it. And he was like, I can't blocking it. I can't block it. I can't block it. I need it for work. And I was like, all right. That does actually.

I mean, I don't really see a difference though. If you think about it, like, imagine we ran a commercial on TV. and it was like, call my electrician service. Granted, there probably wouldn't be a major wave of people trying to call it. Like, if they dial the wrong number and call you, it's like, take your commercial down. Quit advertising for your business. You know, it's like. Yeah. My grandma's phone number was one number off from the Fargo Dome, which is like a concert venue.

So whenever there'd be a new concert, you know, people are frantically trying to dial through because you apparently used to buy concert tickets over the phone. so her phone on like concert days like it would start ringing and then she used to be really nice and go oh no this is judy would explain the whole situation they'd be like okay and then by the end of it after you know i mean years of it she would be like oh concerts released you know on friday i'm gonna just take my phone off the hook and just wow would have to that was part of life but yeah i just get a new number i think taking a video down for us is like the ultimate pulling teeth you know i'm just saying like it just wasn't a valid reason that we do and we're not taking the video

Like, if I somehow fucked up and didn't put Ken's number and put his number there, I would have put it down so quick because I've been like, damn, that's like, that's got to be somewhat against the law. Yeah. But, like, I mean, dude, I'm sorry. And, like, I'm sure it's died down because he quit complaining now. I said, dude, it seems really bad right now. But, like, I guarantee it's going to stop.

Yeah. Or it's not going to stop. But it's going to get better. And he hasn't said anything sense. Yeah, I mean, because, like, videos just kind of plat. Like, they, they'll be on the rise, but eventually they kind of like. start plateauing off so i mean the amount of people that are going to call on this is going to be much less if they even happen to randomly miss dial his number you know there's so many numbers

you could misdial i wonder how many got because i feel like ken especially is pretty callous you know if he gets like 50 phone calls in the day that are wrong numbers like oh quiet day but like i wonder if this guy got 10 and freaked out about that or if he got or if he really did get a lot He was saying hundreds and hundreds. And I was like, I just have a hard time believing that that many people would mess up. Yeah. It's clear as day. But we also didn't hear from anyone else.

Yeah. Nobody else reached out. Yeah. Nobody else said, hey, I have a number one off somewhere. It was just him. I don't know. To be fair, too, Ken, honestly, wouldn't have put your number up there if you already didn't have your number leaked. It was like you were already considering getting a new phone number.

So it was just like, yeah, this is so much. much funnier now too if we just actually put the final nail it's often you know it's just so like to a very large extent which is part of why it's funny your trooper can yeah i don't agree but i can't change your decisions so it feels like it's been up for so long and it's only been up for 10 days yeah like out of 30 dude not that was one of the more exciting things that it was like being there and getting to see that finally happened that was pretty fun that was good yeah so many people have reached out too saying this is by far the funniest thing you yeah a lot of people really are loving it and it's great advertising i feel like there's something

yeah in in a small town like fargo that we put it up in when they see your name or your business on a billboard they're like they made it they're doing it and you don't need to be home you don't have to drive by it or anything like that so that's good oh like ken doesn't have to look at it or anything like that so that's good I still get pictures of it every day. Do you? By who? All the local people that we know that are living Fargo in the winter.

They probably love it, dude. Yeah, that's got to be awesome. It's a new person every day. They're probably like, dude, this is so funny. I wish people thought of me. I wish people even said anything to me. No one says anything to me. Yeah.

I look at my phone like, oh, do you text to me? You got people like, nobody. They're going to the billboard to take pictures with it. Like, you know, those brick walls with the wings that girls go. It's like that. I've gotten a handful. I love that. I love that.

I love that. I love that. And they're like, got a picture. next to the Ken billboard. Oh, really? Start saving all of them because we could maybe put them at the end of the video. I was hoping that it'd be more of like a touristy spot of people in town. A cultural track tagging us.

I'd assume. Oh, it is. Ben, have you been doing any investing lately? Yeah, I actually just invested in a bank. Ben put his money in the bank. He could invest in fucking banks crash.

Is it called Silicon Valley? Unbelievable. Yes, it is. that's worthless now oh they're gone what so ken i've seen this all over twitter basically what happened is this bank something happened can you give us like a 10 second spark notes on what happened to this bank uh it's kind of like this venture capitalist guy he said this bank that they have liquidity problems told all as like venture capital like companies hey pull all your money out of this bank and they were like a big they invested into like startups and like tech stuff in silicon valley

and like the East Coast. So then they pull all their money out. Other people catch wind that, oh, they're pulling their money out. I should pull my money out. It's just a classic bank run. And then they,

everyone starts pulling their money out and they don't have any money left to give you. So it was kind of like, dude, how does that word? They were the second biggest bank in the United States. Really? No,

no, it was like top, I think top 15. Still, but I don't know. Huge still. But so it was literally just a rumor. Like one guy was just like,

yo, that bank, I don't know about that. that and then it literally shut the whole thing down? It seems like that's the that's the whole story. I mean, they had they put their money into like treasury bills, which were locked up for so many years in the future.

And they just couldn't get enough money to give to people when they wanted to pull their money out. Yeah. So the way that I understand it in layman's terms, basically when the bank takes your money, you put a hundred bucks in. It's like the South Park bit. Then they take the money and then they invest it to make money on your money.

So they don't actually have it like sitting in the vault. right or they borrowed to other people they have to keep at least 10 cents on every dollar they typically keep more than that that's crazy that's low in my opinion having 10% yeah you only got 10% of the cash that you are owed that you owe people but they don't expect you to pull it out like they have more than that but it's like they're regulated they have to keep a minimum that much on hand all i got to say is if i went to the bank to take my money out because i was scared or even if i wasn't scared or because you don't believe in banks and they told me you can't have your money because we don't have it.

I would be stressing. And imagine taking it from the relatively small number we have in our bank accounts. It's like FD, FDA, FDIC insured or whatever. But if you're over 250 grand, none of that is insured. So it's effectively lost. Like it's just gone. It's not worth anything if the bank goes under. I mean, I think they can do like bank buyouts and stuff like that.

Yeah, that's what I've heard. Yeah. So what are people doing? People that were scheduled, they were going to get paid on Friday. those checks didn't go out because the bank the bank got taken over by the fdic it's like that that bank doesn't exist anymore so then they're supposedly going to open up a new one on monday like with all those deposit accounts and they can get things going again and try and get everything it cleared out all these people that they their business is based in this bank they get paid from

this bank it's just gone i did see this thing on twitter so i don't know if it's really real or not but you couldn't withdraw your money, but you could spend it, you know, on like from the debit cards. So this guy said they were paying, they were putting as much money as they could in the Starbucks gift cards because they said that Starbucks was more stable than their bank. In worst case, they had a shit ton of money tied up in Starbucks and they could sell it. Basically, you would sell your gift cards and be like, listen, I got a $50 gift card to Starbucks, you know, or you probably do it in a more larger batch. Could you imagine though? They tried to sell gift cards. That Starbucks was more stable than their bank.

Well, dude, and I think we talked about it before, but Starbucks is a bit of a bank itself, which kind of blows my mind. You know, people load the money, and maybe not tangible gift cards, but they load their money into the app. And then Starbucks does the same thing with the money as that banks do.

I mean, not necessarily giving them loans, but investing. This is so crazy. Also, just be crazy. Yeah, let's just say you got 25 grand, and you just put 20 of it in the Starbucks gift cards. It's a lot of stars. coffee for the rest of your life.

It's a lot of stars. Maybe even longer. Dude, that's crazy, though. That's like 1929, right? Right before the Great Depression? Wasn't everyone, when the stock market crashed, everyone was going to the bank. Did that happen in 2008, too? I don't think that happened in 2008.

I think it was mostly in the 20s. I've been seeing more and more stuff about people talking about the world, I guess, the United States and life pre-2009, 2008, 2009 crash. And I'm like, it really is weird to think about. A life changed a lot after 9-11, but also that stock market crash and all that. And it really did change the way the top, top 1% of the 1% are trying to control. Before it was like everyone was kind of doing their own thing. But now it's like it really is, I don't care how many Americans I'm screwing over as long as I'm still getting rich.

And as long as I will be safe if that ever happens again. I don't know. I think that's been happening since the beginning of time is the rich. get richer. Well, right, but I just think it was different before then. Because the thing is, if you're like a rich dude and the housing market crashes and you got all this money and you're versus someone who is maybe normal and, you know, doesn't have a bunch of access money, the housing market's now super cheap.

You can buy a bunch of houses super cheap. They start buying them and then it goes back up eventually and they own all this stuff, you know. It's just a cycle and it just does it all over again. Eat or get eaten. Yeah. Which is unfortunate. It is, yeah.

But that's just kind of how. it works. It was interesting to hear Steve talk about it like that. And he's like, yeah, no, it's just like the way of the world. I think it's been like that since, uh, I mean, even since ever, even before there was money and stuff like that. If you were the strongest guy in the village, you got to do what you want. Yeah, you got all the women. And if you killed everybody else to protect your position. That's what I remember learning about that in school is more of a government thing, but like, uh, just big stick government. That's what they called it. And so whoever has the biggest stick. Right.

is the most powerful government. I'm just like, that's crazy. Yeah, big stick. Yeah, we got more money, bigger army. Your country is now ours. Damn. So Evan's got quite a leg up. Oh, that kind of stick.

No, he just walks into the country farts. Clear them out. Like a gas bomb. Dude, that's the only thing I'm not looking forward to for this RV trip is Evan being in that thing. Dude, oh my gosh. We're going to have to keep a window open at all times. is then a window in the back so it can just keep flushing out constant breeze yeah the dude's got some

some absolute firepower is there such thing as having like a chronic farting problem like chronic gas i'm sure it's got to be something ibs i don't know if he if i'd go as far as to say maybe possibly he he has something wrong with him otherwise it's just his diet i think maybe some of that vape smoke maybe comes out the other end it's stored down there and for sure well he said back in his asbestos days it was a lot worse because he was just eating gas station food so it's toned down a little bit now which is mind-boggling to me mind-boggling to me

and then I think the driving down to Florida put him back in his old ways or just gas station gas station gas station he got there and his body was like oh man dude yeah Mike had to sleep with him in a room it wasn't too bad but he just lets him rip all the time and then I just told him

I don't care if you fart but you just got to be courteous about it and so then he started doing the phone you sound like my girlfriend because like I knew it was going to happen so then he would like you know get himself off the bed kind of hang off or open the door to the outside

really he would get up even and I was like to appreciate that man appreciate that because it's got to be tough sleeping when we left the trees above like the door to come in and out they were like yes starting drooping, dropping leaves.

I think luckily for me, as long as, dude, I mean, I would say literally like half his fart smell, just like anyone else. And sometimes that number goes up and down. Dude, that's a gamble I'm not willing to take. I still think that farts are really funny. So when he farts, yeah. You'd laugh. I laugh.

Like, every time. Just encourages him a little bit. Yeah, and Ben does the same thing. Ben probably farts, like, second most, I would say. And every time Ben farts, I laugh. How far behind them? It's funny. Yeah, far behind.

Far behind. It's just, I just laugh every time. So it really can't bother me if I find it funny. If it stinks, though, then I'm just like, oh. And I got to leave because I got a weak stomach nowadays. That he's like, what, what? And we're like, what do you mean what, dude? You don't smell this?

It's only what, yeah, when it's stinky, it's a problem. I think it boils down to the diet, man. And I was just talking with Alex on the way over here because I was like, man, I need lose some weight. Like, obviously I'm not, like, overweight, but I just want to get in better shape. Like, I got weight in my cheeks. So anyways, I've been going on this diet. And by diet, I'm just trying not to eat as much shit.

I'm cutting out, like, the unnecessary drinking. I've already shaved off nine pounds in two weeks. Well, I've been with you for two weeks. There's been some unnecessary drinking. As I said, I'm trying. But anyway, moral story here. Okay. Moro's story.

Alex and I were talking because we're on the way over your house. It's really hard to eat healthy around here, you know? Barfam. Yeah, exactly. Unless you're, like, cooking. What if we got a chef around here? Dude, I've been saying that. We don't have a kitchen, though.

Yeah, but I feel like it's enough. So, first line of is, how much does a chef? That's what I was wondering. You got to look that up first. But they'd just, like, maybe come. That's our third second employee. Maybe some other shit's already, like, chopped up and everything. And then they just put it together.

But then, like, who's chopping it up, Evan? No, like the chef, dude. But my point. point they come in here they start feeding us better i'm losing weight you're losing weight ben we all know you need it and then evans farts all of a sudden non-existent or maybe he's maybe he's farting maybe he's just farting clean pure air is the cj's like fucking vision of a perfect city cars flying and shit like that dude honestly maybe there's farts his farts starts smelling I don't, I just, the thing that worries me is, okay, so let's say we got like some spinach,

asparagus, and salmon. I ain't eating that shit to eat, yeah, Ryan, I don't like that. Sorry, wait, you don't like, no, I love salmon, but this, asparagus and spinach. Ryan, if you ever eat vegetables? Bro, asparagus is so, buttered asparagus is, like, one of the best tasting vegetables ever. Obviously, it's an opinion. But, uh, I feel like if Evan ate that meal, he'd have some gnarly farts. And that's just one meal.

You start feeding them even healthier and they just get worse. Yeah. His body doesn't know what to do. I don't even know. Yeah, he's like got a hearty steak and some sweet potatoes and then some green beans. He's really sick. He was taking the hospital. They're like, let's just pump some shit into him.

Like some shit food. Get some McDonald's in here. Shit in backwards. Hey, quick, quick, quick, get the backup vape. Jesus. They got an IV with it. Just like going straight in those. I mean, honestly, though, I feel like maybe there's a, like if we hired Slim, you know,

he has other things. things he can do, and then he can also cook. You know, I think Slim would be cooking some fantastic food, but I don't know if it'd be healthy. That you are probably right about that. We need a chef that's also talented in other areas. That's what I'm saying. We wouldn't be going out to eat all the time.

No, I know, but that's what I was thinking, like, Ken's like, yo, I have 9,000 shirts to fold. And then we're like, sorry, man, but supper's ready. We said, no. I'm just. Oh, you're saying that it as opposed to hiring. a teenage boy for $10 an hour to fold t-shirts. I mean, we have done that again. Not quite saying that, but yeah.

Dude, honestly, go back to the farting thing. I'd never been big on both like in, in high school, you know, guys would fart or they'd burp. Burping is so gross. Never really been anything that I ever thought was funny. I was like, um. Like, if you're deliberately belching, like, like, it's fine. Everyone's got burp, everyone's got a fart. But like, you're at a dinner.

People are eating around you. And you just go, like, you're like trying. Yeah. Dude, that shit pissed me off. He did it multiple times, too. You guys didn't even, you guys weren't there, but we were in Chicago. We're sitting there at Bdubs, trying to get a meal the night before. There's this guy sitting there.

He's got his girl. And he's just talking loud, whatever. And he's like, two shots, two shots. He's like, ordering shots. And then, like, putting him on. He's like, she'll get these shots. But I'm getting everything else. I'm getting the meal.

I'm getting everything else. Anyway, so this guy's just talking loud. He's just pounding down drinks. Pretty soon he just keeps like letting out these burps I'm not kidding you The whole restaurant would stop and be like Yeah it was like look at him

It was just like it was so gross People were trying to eat And it was just like It's just a slob And then at the end of it You know we're like tabbing out And he goes To get his tab

And the lady comes back And she's like The card got declined He goes What? What? Why did you put all the food on mine? It's like we clearly heard him say that yeah so then he's like move all the food off just keep the shots

they move all the shots off still couldn't pay dude yeah his girlfriend just end up paying for the whole thing honestly i normally would feel really bad and just like i got their meal you know whatever but the dude was burping constantly like like at like a middle school lunch table and it completely ruined my appetite i only ate half my food and then we just walked out of and ben just goes that guy needs to figure it out dude it was a bad look it was a little girl Dude, I don't know what that girl's doing on. Paying for all his shit. I don't give a fuck about the money,

but dude, his manners, I had never seen anything worse. Yeah, I thought he did it on accident. The first time I let it slide. The first time I let it slide. But then,

yeah, then it was like he was showing off. He was just, and I mean, they were large, loud burbs. It kind of remind me that one time we were at that nice ass restaurant

and you did it. Yeah, that is what I was like, you did it one time and we were like, Mike, I was waiting for it. And I was like, yeah,

my bad, my bad. But I don't, Like, as someone who finds farts really funny, I don't find burps super funny. And that one was like a one-time, couple-time thing. Also, burps almost always smell. So you definitely want to get out of the way of that. It just ruined my whole meal.

And I got like a large portion of wings. I couldn't even eat them all. I was pissed. So sad. Couldn't even bring them home. Grab an hell in the chat for siege. Yeah, that guy won that, that one. Won that battle.

Walked out, feeling real good about himself. Those guys didn't even enjoy their food. He cleared out. Like, he cleared out the ball. like people were leaving like fucking they were like people were repulsed so you guys uh like i've been a big fan of bar stool for a while i think it's uh it's a platform that's very much here to stay they do a lot of things now they're always trying

to do more some of it super entertaining the caleb interviews are like amazing some of them are not good at all but anyway moral of the story is when how many years is it going to take for people to stop commenting, bitching about how it's not sports. Like, obviously it's not going to be sports anymore. They post almost no sports. And the comments are just nonstop. It's like, I can't believe people are still wasting their time.

Dude, they're bigger than ever. Barstool sports doesn't post sports. Well, no, they do post sports. They have like 45 podcasts all dedicated to like each sport. Totally. It's just funny that I think they get mad if not every post is about sports. genuinely it's like how do you not get that it's never going to be that way and it really never even was that way since i've followed that's what i mean that five years we probably yeah fall like

followed them when they were like some pretty small let's say a couple hundred thousand and and people were a little upset about it now and it just still goes on i'm picturing bar stool 10 years from now still posting like party clips or funny stuff and people still i think sometimes it's just a marginalized group of people that are against it, they end up being the loudest. So it seems that way because the people that like it are just, they look at the post, like, nice. And then they just keep moving on. But like the complainers oftentimes can be the loudest group, even though they're like 5%.

I tell you what, it's not making any difference because they just got bought out for 550 million. Yeah. But really? It's insane. So Penn bought the rest of it, which I think was like 60%. The other 60%. And then it valued the company at 550.

Wow. I mean, wildly successful and the shit's not changing and who they're not changing their name. Would that make you happy? They change their name to just bar stool. Dude, I think over the next 10 years, we are going to see bar stool just get bigger and bigger and bigger as they continue to get more into like the gambling section of, you know, society where you're going to see more like sports books and bars and just like, I think sports gambling is just coming more acceptable and bigger being that it's like getting legalized in each state and

barstool is going to be at like the forefront of that definitely definitely how much did they get bought up for Penn paid 388 million for 64% stake that they did not Aldi own they paid 163 in 163 million in 2020 for a 36% stake

hold on so what's Dave Port and I own 0% now of bars tool but he still works there don't think anything yeah must have sold at all Interesting. And it's not a Maybe it's a dumb question But it's like not it's not a public company Like no pen is a public

Okay yeah Speaking of things that I don't I don't really know The internet's always evolving And stuff like that But there's this new trend Where it's like any Joe Schmo Blow with a podcast

Just interviews a porn star And asks them Or an only fan's girl And ask them incredibly Like It's not even like interest in them. It's like, so where's the craziest place you got? You know, like, it's just really weird. And it always shows up on my Facebook feed. They're targeting you.

No, I don't really think so. It's maybe even just podcast in general. But I just don't, I don't just podcast. It's not, it's not the guest. It's not, it's not anything to do with. But no, I mean, like, Trevor Wallace does it. And like, all these people, it just is like this trickle down effect of like getting less and less. And it's just, I feel like it's cheap views. Yeah, it's cheap views is what I am trying to... It's rinse, yeah, a little bit. It's all the same. Same questions.

It's the same concept. They're making a bunch of money and just like... I don't know. I've always just kind of thought of it as exactly that cheap views. I put my foot down. No more porn stars. Well, Ryan, you're going to have to change your browsing history. Well, dude, that's why I've always been really thankful for the viewership we do have here

because, like, I'm picky. I'm picky as hell on the podcast I listen to. And to get into a new podcast is, like, like, damn near impossible. It's tough, yeah. Well, that's how, like, if having guests on is how you probably typically grow your podcast, unless you're already, you know, a pretty big platform to begin with. Obviously, all the people that have came and found our podcast came from C-Boy's TV.

It came from the YouTube vids. Happy, you know, that went well. But, yeah, you're right. We have a great audience. We didn't have our YouTube channel. This would be nothing. Yeah, absolutely. They'd have no interest.

But if, like, we want to grow this bigger than, you know, where we're at right now, having guests on is probably the only way you'd be able to do it. And then the bigger we get, the cooler guests will be able to have. We see the comments about, like, you guys should interview, you know, all these people. You know, we're trying. We've, we've been trying to get guests on. Like, we had two guests, two different guests on the last two podcasts. And I saw it didn't get as good of views, which is weird to me.

I know. And then I saw some people even comment like, I don't like when you guys have guests on. God damn it. But you can't please everybody. You don't talk about burps every day. It's fun to do. It's fun to do a little bit of both. I think if you can.

Yeah, I think it makes. When we go on this RV trip, I really want to at least get three in the bag. You know, with some good people, at least, yeah. You know, it's tough because we got such limited time. You got to keep moving, but. And we typically do prioritize the YouTube channel over a podcast, which, you know, but this definitely is next in line. Yeah.

I just love talking to guests and just learning what they're about because I'm just genuinely interested. Like I could probably sit down and have a conversation with any guy on the sidewalk and be pretty interested in what what they do yeah if you didn't listen to the last two especially the steve one yeah so it's so good yeah there's definitely some some stuff to learn from that's it's it's just like the growing process of of uh continuing to get other guests but i don't know i think people really like just listening to us sit down and chop it up because it's like i don't know anyone can be entertained by it we'll keep trying to be interesting keep doing interesting

i love it yeah i just want to say thank you to everyone who listens to this podcast and then So everybody watches the YouTube vids and just has supported us over the years because, I mean, you know, we wouldn't be here or doing any of this without you guys. So thank you so much. Yeah. Episode 69, getting a little emotional. And on that note, thank you again for watching, listening, subscribing, commenting, and we'll see you for number 70 next week.

We might be on the road. We might be on the road. You're right.
