Okay, so why did you bring me to the circus?
Oh, I'm really into lion tamers.

I don't know.
I came up pretty good on that one, though, after that guy came up and gave me $100.
That's right.
Yeah, that was Finghamboogis.
What are the, dude, the fact that a random.
guy comes up and goes, hey, you're my favorite C-boy.
Here's a hundred bucks.
Okay, for context, we were all out to eat.
It was like a big group dinner at this really nice restaurant.
What was it, two days ago?
And we're all there and we're at this back table.
And, dude, it was so many people kept coming up and asking to take pictures and all this.
So people were, like, confused on what was going on.
But the table sitting next to us basically was another large group.
It was like a family.
And, uh, the guy.
comes up like after our meal or like we're almost done and he goes up to ben and gives him
a hundred dollars in front of all of us and he goes hey i want to pay for your meal my uh my kids
they they say you're you're their favorite so i want to give you this money because no he said he
said ben was his favorite your mine and my wife's favorite okay and then he goes you've also
costed uh cost us a lot of money from my kids so
I was very confused by it.
Yeah, and then I was, I felt very weird taking the $100.
I felt awkward.
Because there was like no exchange.
Like, if somebody was like, hey, man, here's a hundred bucks.
Can I buy a sweatshirt?
Yep.
I'll take the money.
You get something in return.
But instead, it was me just sitting there in front of all of my peers that I'm apparently
better than in his eyes.
It's also kind of weird.
Yeah.
I just go, I literally look at the guy and I go, no shit.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I don't know if it was like.
selfish of me, but I thought he was going to be like, I'm just kidding. Get a round of drinks for
you for all you guys. Yeah, that would have been a much better. He just stuck with it. He goes, yep,
you're my favorite. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was odd. I've never had someone just offered a
offer to pay for one person's meal. And like, when we left, Alex and I were, like, everyone was kind of like,
that was a little weird. I was a little bit. It was a nice idea. It was very nice. But Ben should
have been nice and like, you know, probably Ben should have been the one to be like,
here, I'll buy a round of drinks for everyone. But you know, this guy's not doing this.
I would have if we were leaving.
Yeah, you're right.
I was driving, so I would have just bought all of you guys drinks.
That would have been nice of it.
I was a little salty and then when I was walking out, he goes, you're a close second, bud.
You're a close second.
And I was like, fuck.
Give you 50.
He just does tears.
I get like 10 bucks.
Go get your sense.
Me and Mike 10 bucks.
Go get yourself a soda or something.
We're like, thank you, thank you.
That's actually really funny.
That's a funny bit idea.
God damn, yeah.
That was weird, dude.
I'm not going to lie.
It's slightly weird.
But it was a nice thought.
Yeah.
On top of that, we got in trouble this week,
or we got roped into being in trouble this week.
Somehow.
Yeah.
By our...
It just seems to follow us,
even when we're not looking for it.
By our former partner, Jake Sherbrook.
Jake Bangin Sherbrook, as the post said,
basically, this guy,
in the area got mad because Jake posted this video of him like riding on the trails with his
tracked uh raptor in on his dad's land in his dad's like ditches that the snowmobile trail runs through
and I guess the guy was super mad he made this post I suppose I got to read it so this was the post
these guys are making all Minnesota ATV side by side owners look bad with the sled clubs
and we all know it is not true I don't think I'm the only
one that enjoys the C-boys on YouTube, and I even get some entertainment value out of Jake
Bangin Sherbrook, in quotations, C-Boys dropout.
Once in a while. But what I don't like are these YouTube ass hats ripping up club
trails with their tracked vehicles, four-by-four trucks, side-by-sides, and snowbikes.
This is 100% illegal, as none of them are defined as snowmobiles by the DNR, and all of them
should be ticketed, find, or mandated to volunteer with the sled club whose trails they ruined.
As Bangin was just bragging about his new sponsorship from FXR, just before filming his Ford Raptor
with tracks ripping up the Midnight Rider trails outside of Cormoran.
If this keeps up or they do not make things right with the locals slash clubs,
FXR 509, Polaris, and their other sponsors should hear about our disappointment.
I feel like that was a ransom letter.
It kind of was.
It was close.
The weird part is the guy's local, too.
Yeah.
And he's the only one that complains about it.
And the issue with it is, like, he goes on, like, a Facebook club and makes this post when it's like, dude, you could have just as well as came to our shop and said this to our face if you actually had a problem.
So it's like...
Didn't he in the bar one time?
Well, he mentioned it to me.
He goes, he bought me a beer.
There's like years ago.
And it was like, hey, like, you guys need to stop riding your snowmobile.
and, uh, whatever in the ditch.
He's mad about the snow bike, which is absolutely,
or your snow bike.
Yeah, that one's not ludicrous.
And, uh, a side by side on tracks, maybe the Raptor, but like, it was on Dave's land.
It was on Dave's land.
But maybe the Raptor is, like, causing, like, a little bit of damage, but not really.
Like, how is it damaging the trails?
So he was super mad about that.
And apparently he doesn't like our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, Maverick on tracks
going up and down the, the, the trails.
but we literally only take that thing out like once or twice a year and we film a video with
it.
I think people forget or they think that we're just out like putting miles on our stuff
like all day.
We're just out ripping.
I guarantee we're selling our Maverick now.
It's got like 800 miles on it in like two years.
Like we hardly use it because we're busy doing other stuff and working, honestly.
But people just think that we're just bombing up and down the trails every time we're out.
I feel like we're seeing somebody else in a tract machine.
No, you do.
That's the issue.
If I drive to the car bar of store right now,
I will see one man or I'll see at least one guy
who will be like 50 years old plus in a Polaris Ranger on tracks
going through those trails.
Like they're putting way more laps and stuff on than any of us combined.
Yeah, well, that's the issue with basically all the trail systems
or the ditches around here is if they're,
there's any kind of issues with the trails or ruts or anything like that,
they just immediately affiliate it with us because obviously we're the only ones
that film it.
But what you don't see is we just do it once.
We don't damage anything either, which is ludicrous to me that they actually have an
issue with it.
Like, it's really doing nothing to it, especially when we're out like after a snowstorm,
just bombing the ditches.
It's not groomed.
Yeah.
Like there's nothing that we haven't even driven on groomed trails.
this year.
No, we haven't.
So, like, to rope us in.
But, I mean, there is things that we've done in the past that obviously we're, like,
not above the law in any means.
And we've never acted like that or said that we are.
So, like, yeah, we're just basically anyone else.
We've damaged trails like once, maybe with like the four wheeler, the quad video.
But otherwise, which I wait, I mean, we did feel guilty about.
But, and we apologize to him when we saw him in the bar and everything.
But I thought bygones or bygones.
But, yeah, I don't know.
The issue with it is now.
if there's any kind of issues, they just immediately affiliated with us.
It's almost not even the big issues.
It's just like a hundred little issues that people see.
Like if they see a burnout mark, they go, that was the same boys.
Yeah.
They're out.
And then they see a hundred burnout marks.
And then they see one burnout in a video.
And they go, they've been doing burnouts all over the county.
We're like, no, we did it in our driveway.
It's all day.
Yeah, like, what do you think?
We don't have any back tires left.
Like, it's just, it's just unfortunate.
Yeah, but the point I want to say is the only,
only like we do one strip most of the time and it's it's literally from like our shop to the
cornfront store which is on dave's land technically and we we go down and back like we'll ride for
maybe an hour to like get in like to get enough footage for a video and they they just don't
understand that like there's so many more people uh contributing to their so called problem
uh much much more than us but it's just funny that this guy is just being such a baby
about it honestly yeah he is but i mean at the end of the day i would i so he mentioned in it he was
like you guys need to uh uh get in and volunteer or make a donation or do something like that and
i have no problem like let's make a donation to him like if you're watching this right now mark
we're going to make a donation to the club instead of going on and and starting some weird like
facebook beef like yeah the comments section was awesome on that it
It was like, most people, honestly, like, I don't see the problem here.
And then, like, a couple people whining, like, Mark.
But, yeah, I mean, so I, like, we appreciate you grooming the trails and everything
because we do use them once a year, maybe on snowmobiles.
And, yeah, I mean, we've gotten our use over the year.
So we'll make a donation, Mark.
Hope you're happy.
It's pretty funny that Jake, Jake was, like, telling, like, he basically.
Jake was heated about it.
He was actually pissed.
And we were like, dude, just his favorite thing to do it.
Like, one of his.
literal hobbies is getting in Facebook beef
so we just grab some popcorn and watch
if we ever see a groomed trail like
and we're like let's take Ken's Bronco in the ditch
we're not going to take it on the trail
because that's just blatant and so
same for snow bikes bro like
they just hate on snow bikes like skiers
hate it on snowboarders back in the day
they're really not the track vehicles
a little more but yeah the snow the snow bike's lighter
right the snow bike hardly does any damage
it makes one path and say
It makes no sense.
Yeah.
That's because they can't ride one.
That's probably it.
You know how four-wheeler guys are.
They're scared of dirt bikes.
Yeah, but anyways, the post ended up getting deleted after Jake responded to it.
It was in like some private group and he like hopped in.
And then I don't know if Mark deleted it or if like the club deleted it because they were like, this is just a bunch of whining.
Yeah.
But so that was something that happened this week.
It was kind of exciting, I guess.
No kidding.
It's kind of nice.
I mean, we were on the butt end of it with Jake, but we didn't have anything.
Yeah, I just let him battle it out, dude.
I don't want nothing to do with it.
Yeah.
We have scheduled a snowmobile ride out on February 5th, I believe, and I think we're
going to start it at noon.
So we did the same thing last year, except for last year we had absolutely no snow,
which is pretty crazy because beginning of February, you'd think there was just nothing.
There'd be snow, but last year is terrible.
This year we have a ton of snow.
So we're going to be starting the.
ride out at our favorite bar in Cormoron. It's called the Cormoron Inn. And what we're going to do
is like a 20 mile loop or maybe a little bit more. It'll be like an hour long ride.
20 miles last year just because we did no longer in that. But yeah, we're going to do a ride
out starting at the Cormoron in and at noon. Leaving the parking lot. Yep, leave the parking lot
at noon and then do about an hour, hour long ride, end up back to the Cormoron in.
And then that's where we're going to be doing like a meet and greet, taking pictures.
hanging out with all of you guys.
Signing autographs.
Selling autographs.
Selling autographs.
Merch.
And then at the end of it,
we're going to do like a big raffle.
We got a bunch of 5-109 year
and a bunch of C-Boys merch
and a bunch of different things
that we're going to be given away to you guys.
Keep in mind, though, it is a bar,
our favorite bar.
So, like, they got food, drinks.
Like, it'll be, it's a great spot to hang out
and there'll be plenty of other stuff to do.
That's day.
Is it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Technically, we're going to dub this as Ken's birthday party.
All right.
We're throwing a birthday party for Ken, a big snowmobile ride out.
You know how much Ken loves snowmobiling.
And he loves having birthday parties and the attention all being on him.
So we're inviting everyone.
Oh, dude.
Everyone wants to come.
How old are you turned, Ken?
27.
Holy crap, Ken.
I had to think about that one for a little bit.
Oh, my gosh.
We're going to tell everyone you're 17.
That's going to be lit.
Ken's turning 17.
We're inviting you all to his birthday party.
Yeah.
February 5th.
That's going to be.
sweet so if you guys can make it make sure you come on out uh there's going to be plenty of parking
plenty of food and drinks and everything it's going to be a good time and i think the weather should
be nice so so if you if you came last year it's the same place we did it last year yeah and
there's plenty of places for trailer parking and if you bring like a jenny and a camper you can
park that there yeah don't camp there we're we're gonna yeah you can't camp right no no you can't
camp there oh sorry that's right yeah i didn't mean camp there
man, bring a generator if you want power.
You know, bring your generators.
Some people have like toy haulers.
You can camp there.
You can stay out there by a weekstress.
It's going to be great.
Yeah, he's like, get these guys out of here.
Mike's out, just hobnobbing with them.
How long are you guys staying for?
Mike moves there, too.
Throwing bush cans on the ground, too.
You should see the pile we got going in the pits.
Well, why are you calling at the pits now?
Mike starts a snowmobile race around the,
corn run in oh my gosh no racing they they don't have insurance hopefully hopefully uh this time
around we won't uh really do ourselves in the night before like we did last year so we can hang out
late and you know drink a couple beers with the we still hung out late and drank beers however
we did mess up last yeah we we went hard last year okay so last year we hit uh we hit a million
subscribers like the week before and our parents wanted to throw us like a one million
subscriber party so we had like all of our friends all of our family there terrible idea
terrible idea the night before so anyway i think we kind of showed it in the video but after
everyone left we had obviously all the chairs the plastic chairs and all the tables and we
had this big one million cake we're hammered we just thrashed it we thrashed it we were smashing chairs
we were celebrating it was like the best you know you're celebrating in our style yeah it looks
like a bomb one off we yeah we uh we're cake and
each other with the big one million cake anyway the next morning next morning it just spread like
wildfire that we trashed the party that our parents technically set up wow they were so they were so
mad and disappointed in us and we were like how how are you guys surprised i don't know why they're
mad i still don't understand that yeah we yeah we go like well what it was besides the chairs the
table and the cake like what are you mad about and they're like
that you made a bomb mess didn't your mom come over the next morning yeah yeah to drop something off
and she goes what did you guys do yeah i was in there fucking sweeping and i was like oh you saw that
you weren't supposed to see that i wasn't drinking so i was up early fucking cleaning it up
and you guys were just getting rolling oh my god you guys were in rough shape i was very hungover
that day dude we just well we've we're growing up and we're figuring this out but like every year
at heydays, we do the same thing.
Almost for every event.
And almost every event, man, we might actually have a problem.
We always celebrate the event before the event.
We get so excited for it.
Yeah, we're not going to do that this year.
We're going to save it for that night.
Save it for that night.
We'll see, though, because all of our friends are going to be in town.
Right.
True.
Yeah, you're right, actually.
Did I see Evan was going to show up?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So it'll be a good time.
So if you can make it, Cormon, Minnesota at the Cormon Inn, February 5th, we leave the parking lot at
12. We'll have more stuff posted on it.
But, dude, there's going to be so many people.
Yeah, it's going to be crazy.
It's going to be fun.
We got a lot to know this year.
And we're going to respect the trails just for you, Mark.
Yeah, only snowmobiles.
Ryan, do you want to hop back in?
You said you had a, you had done some kind of questionnaire, and we were going to answer some
questions.
Yeah, so last night, when we were talking about that, we were maybe going to do a podcast.
We normally used to do Q&As in our videos, but we really haven't done on our video
style.
And so now we got the podcast, which is basically perfect.
I was like, there's got to be some good questions out there.
I'm sure.
I got like probably like 900 requests.
Gevis.
Not half.
Maybe 15 or who's got the biggest dick.
Like people were very.
Big Ken.
I would we never got big Ken for nothing.
I don't think my ego can take it if, if you know, like we got a dick measuring contest, I don't think.
No, but I don't think we need to.
Big Ken.
This guy's got a shalong.
to his knee.
But there was actually some good ones.
And one I thought was kind of good was,
what would you consider your best purchase slash investment?
Which made me think of a lot of bad ones.
Personally or company?
Company wise.
Probably company.
Just collectively.
Dude.
I was asked this question.
My brother asked this question.
He was like,
what do you think like the biggest waste of money you guys have spent?
So the opposite of that question.
Yeah?
Oh, wait, yeah.
Well, you can, I'm intrigued about the biggest waste or worst?
Best.
Oh, but what's the worst?
Well, let's do best and then worst because I feel like the worst will have probably
longer answer.
Yeah.
My personal, this is just me.
I think obviously the shop.
I mean, if you look at it, like this is going to appreciate and value.
We got land.
Like, it's just, it was clearly the best.
So I don't know.
I agree with that too.
100%.
Yeah.
What was your answer to what was your worst investment?
I'm actually interested in this.
Oh, dude.
actually I had to think about that because most things that we buy are justified.
They're pretty profitable.
Yeah, if you can at least make one video with it and then whether you just sell it after
that, because realistically, you shouldn't lose too much money if you buy something,
film one video with it and then sell it a week and a half later, which is pretty bad
at the selling part.
Yeah, which we always, which we always say, well, let's just film a couple of videos and then
get rid of it.
Never get rid of it.
We never get rid of it.
And we have so much stuff now.
and it's just managed to just pile up outside now.
Well, selling stuff has become so hard
because you post something on Facebook marketplace
and your DMs get flooded by people like,
hey, like want to talk, which is, I mean, I understand,
but just not the place to do it
because then you can't even respond to the people
that are actually trying to buy it.
Yeah.
Right.
But what would you say?
Worst, one of the worst or worse.
At the time, I said probably the Maverick tracks
because we paid like 12 grand in
and we filmed one video.
video with it.
Well, we thumbnail entitled two videos with it.
Yeah, I don't know.
They weren't as big of a hit as we expected them to do it.
Yeah, yeah.
And they always would break something.
They were a pain in the ass straight up.
They were just big, heavy, a lot of money.
Yep.
Not necessarily super easy to put on as far as time goes.
But we sold it now, so we can't shit talk it too much.
I mean, it's still cool.
But yeah, just definitely didn't.
Money spent enjoyment gotten wasn't very high.
There you go.
Yeah, the smiles per gallon was not.
yeah that's probably right personally my worst investment was definitely my jets yeah that one
it's still it's still over there broken uh so that's not good but i think one of our best
i was just thinking about this one of our best video investments i mean basically any of the shifter
the red shifter cart definitely is actually one of our best investments we any of them yeah yeah um
The trike, that was really good
Just because it did really good on views
And that's a good example of one we were kind of worried about
We're like people are really going to like this thing
And luckily they did but it's like
Again, to build one of those trikes bro
Yeah, it wasn't horrendously expensive
It was not cheap.
The Shambo I think definitely needs
A noticeable or honorable mention
Right, definitely
And how risky it was
Yeah, it was pretty risky
Because no one never done that before
yeah now it just sits the the shambo is fully oh no yeah the shambo is pretty much a snowbank
yeah it just basically disappeared completely which is cool to see it's literally buried in
three feet of snow but what else you got for us right uh someone brought up was there ever a time
where there was big fights between the boys almost ended the channel no nothing's ever almost
ended the channel no i mean we definitely i always think this people ask i bet you that's like
the number one concern that in the beginning with like our parents and stuff they didn't really
care what they were doing they maybe believed in the business here and there but i know a lot of
more like do you really want to like take all this risk with your friends will you guys be able to
be friends and get along yeah and i think as a team we work pretty solid like when it's the five
of us and we put our heads together and like even if you think one thing and i think one thing i'm like
well the decision cj is making is what he thinks is for the best of right of of
the crew like we're all pointed in the same direction which i like helps well we don't do we all just
know like we need to keep each other happy and we need to all work together if we want to like make
it work so i mean you have that in the back of your mind kind of like well fuck we can't really it almost
feels like instinct yeah you know working together is reaching a point where it just feels like it's
yeah i know we've done that's what it is so much stuff like we like move so much as a team
when we get certain stuff done that sometimes when i'm by myself like even now i'm like god like
I got to do this all by myself
I'm weird you know like just small things too
like yeah if it's like painting my house
I don't know why I'm sometimes like waiting for like the
all right let's do this
I have to tell myself like all right let's do this
I got to get doing this I'm normally waiting for like
you know because like we get everyone else moving
and it's like easier to do something
right yeah like it's really easy to act on a video
when everyone shows up we're like all right we're doing this
because like as soon as you're kind of like
Like you have some hesitation
Everyone else's already moving
So you're like, all right, we're doing it
Yeah
That's, I do have a lot of respect
For like the solo vloggers
That just hold the camera themselves
And they just like do it all themselves
Because it does take a lot of motivation
To just get up and get going
If you don't have somebody kicking you in the arse
Yeah, yeah dude
I think about that a lot how
Like what other company
At least for people that we know personally
Like what other business has five partners
Five equal partners.
Yeah, true.
I love that when we're doing like taxes and stuff and they ask,
okay, so you're all equal,
it's like they've never heard of it.
Equal ownership?
Is there a president?
And we're like, not really.
Yeah, I guess on paper, yeah.
It keeps shit and check though.
That's why it's good.
People don't really understand.
And it's an odd number.
I've seen people comment like,
oh, it looks like Ben and CJ are making the most money or something like that.
It's like, no, we just spend the most of our money.
That is pretty funny
It's like obviously the car is a huge part of that status
But it's so funny at people like
You know, Michael, you're not getting paid as well
When are you going to get a fancy car?
And I'm just like, that's not just where I put my money
But you're like, I have five cars
Yeah, a couple dirt bikes
What are you kidding?
I got three Rangers in the back.
Yeah, I think people do have a hard time understanding that
And I mean, it would be tough though
If it wasn't equal ownership
because at the end of the day it's like you got to keep every everyone has to feel like fair and
um i guess to answer that question though like the the hardest part has definitely been making
sure that everyone's workloads are relatively equal because then if somebody else is doing a lot
more work then it's then that's where like the unfairness yeah but we're like bitterness
keep it pretty pretty fair i mean and even if that's kind of got their own everyone's got their own
and I guess that's why it works so well.
Also, just kind of what you said,
everyone's got to remember.
Like, you know, everyone's decisions are for the company's best interest,
which is really good.
And we've all been on the same page about that for like, you know,
since we started, dude.
And everyone was cool about, like, making no money for the longest time.
Because every dollar we'd make,
we would just put it back into the company.
And, like, everyone was, you know, on the same page about that.
And, like, I think the easy.
part for us is like we don't have families we don't have like wives kids or anything like that so it's like
really we kind of move as a we move as a group like a unit as we move as the family a lot more than
in like our personal best interest we're a business that is 100% owned and operated by the employees
yeah yeah when you see the people i want to get that on like yeah yeah have like a like a corporate
jacket it's like the north face jackets got their logo and it says a hundred percent employee
owned i was like dude we should do that yeah yeah it is funny because we have learned that we don't
always work that well with people from the outside right yeah that's definitely been our biggest
uh like not i wouldn't say fights but like as soon as outside people get involved that's where
like the issues start coming it's just been because there was the wrong outside people mostly like
if you had someone who like came in that was had the right vision and wasn't trying to like
just take over and run the show then we would probably but with that being said still we work
we see we all see very eye to eye and someone else comes in whether it would wherever they're at
we don't ever see eye at eye with them yeah and so i guess uh to answer that question has anything
ended the channel uh if we would have brought on that manager that would have ended up
I think that that would have 100% ended the channel.
I think so too.
Avoided that one.
Crazy.
Avoided that one.
That was good.
Yeah.
There was never anything that when we were like, all right, we're throwing the towel in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's the answer to that.
I mean, there's stuff that was like close, obviously, but.
Yeah.
But even if it was, for instance, if it was one person that was really on the fence,
like we bring it back together, you know?
Yeah.
No, we got to keep going.
We got to do this.
A lot of people might find it hard to believe, or at least interesting.
up until not last year but the year before like we literally made below minimum wage and it wasn't
working minimum wage hours it was making like working 120 hour weeks like we're grinding and you get
your taxes back at the end of years like you made 17,000 dollars this year yeah I mean like we we worked
our asses off so that was what's good is we had so many building years of us working together for
no money there was no ego in it we're just like we're building this brand and the thing was is
everyone it looked like we're making money because luckily for us business expenses we're going to
like toys that would normally be an extra thing that you would buy with uh the little bit of extra
money that you maybe have left over uh after living expenses so we got to basically go straight
to the fun stuff true and then use that as our business you know yep and that's why it didn't
feel like we were eating shit because at time yeah i mean in that regard yeah the company was
getting all these cool opportunities and toys and whatever that we're like yeah this is great
let's keep doing it but it definitely isn't the same of like when you have to share something you know
like the maverick like yeah like we all i mean it's technically all of ours but it's like it's
like it's not as cool as it just you won't it yeah there's definitely like a split it's fun when
it's like and that's why normally people buy like ben bought his corvette it wasn't all of our
corvettes yeah then it wasn't like i need the corvette on saturday i'm going out yeah and then
Or like the Corvette breaks because I was doing burnouts and then Mike is driving it and it breaks
And we're like, well, you broke the Corvette, Mike.
It would just get so messy.
And the thing is, I feel like that would be an item that like really, it would be used for like video like very rare.
Like it'd be not that often.
And then like the majority of use would just be for pleasure.
Yep.
So that's when it's like, eh, that's sticky.
Yeah, we try to use like, like we buy the truck and we're like, okay, we're going to use this truck for making
video.
Yeah.
Like no one really hops in them and like drive.
them for fun just like yeah
taking the truck for the week a little unfortunate
I guess vehicles may be different
like if you need the truck use the truck
but it's like a lot of times like
I don't take the Maverick out for leisure
which is unfortunate but it's not that
I'm like terrified of breaking it but also
yeah it's like and that's why I would never buy
a personal side by side right now
because I hardly have time to ride the
drive the one that we have
company wise so whenever somebody
does buy something personally
we just totally exploit it for the chance
Just immediately, like when you guys, you guys all personally bought your smart cars.
And then it was like, nope, this one's getting destroyed.
This one's getting lifted, this one.
Which is after that happens, though, we've all, when we do the company buys it.
As soon as like that happens, yeah, the money is in your hand.
We're all happy.
So there is a few instances where it's like.
Yeah.
When the jet ski, great example.
But like just in general, like, I mean, when I bought the jet ski, cool, next thing you know,
we're in the back of the limo revving it out.
Like, it was totally fine.
It does suck because if your jet ski.
Setsky would have been just amazing.
Let's say it made one video.
You back flipped it.
You do some more backflips.
Then Ben hops on.
He starts doing backflus.
And it becomes this regular vehicle we drive on the channel.
We'd have been probably like, hey, we've been using us a lot for content.
Ryan, we'll just give you the money you paid for it.
But instead, it just fucking sucked.
And we just go, man, Ryan, you just not have bought that.
Yeah.
And then now I'm stuck with something that doesn't make good content.
Well, it does make good content.
It makes pretty good.
Except it doesn't run.
And then I'm stuck with something.
something that doesn't run.
Right.
And I'm 15 grand out.
Oh, yeah.
That is the,
especially with cars,
we've talked to like our accountant a lot about that is like,
hey,
is there any way that we can write these off but personally buy them?
And it's like the weirdest situation.
But can we make that work?
And they're like,
I don't think that's right.
And it's tough because like literally everything that we buy for our cars is to make
the cars look cool on the channel and other toys as well.
With the car stuff, I do, I probably would do it regardless.
Right, same.
I just do it a little bit bigger.
Yeah.
But yeah.
It helps you justify it.
Right.
You tell yourself that in your head like, I'm doing this for content.
Yeah.
That's why I'm spending this.
Yeah.
And that's why I try to backflip to Jetsky.
Normally I probably wouldn't want out there on the first day.
And I'm like, but I'm like, yeah, go for it.
I love that.
I love that we all are on the same page about that.
It's like you get it.
You take the doors off your Bronco.
You go through the car wash.
You entertain.
Well, Ken ain't doing.
that for his own per week.
We're over there holding like a freaking knife to Ken's neck.
Let's do this, Kenny.
He's like, I don't want to.
But okay.
Everyone doesn't see.
Yeah, yeah.
But it does work good for like, let's say donuts in my TRX.
I buy a car that like that I want to do donuts with.
I'm like, man, I really want to do it.
But the first hour you bought it.
It's pretty pointless for a normal person to take their new car out and hoon it to the field
and then do donuts in it.
But for us, it makes.
content helps you buy the car whatever so it's also fun yeah and but it's fun it's something i've
always wanted to do my dad said that he used to like i've owned a lot of things but i've never bought a car
and then went and just whipped donuts and driven it through a field and you got to try it don't do that
and that's why it's so entertaining and it's like the coolest thing is uh we're getting to the level
where it's just like the honestly the more money you make for us the more money we spend the
cooler things we can do like it's really not like not that complex it's not that complex and it's just
gets more and more entertaining and that's that's why like the the big boys like the big
YouTubers that can afford to do like the craziest stuff that's why they have the craziest
content and the craziest views yeah yeah so it is everyone is uh everyone's on the same page about
that like the the bigger we've gotten um the more like just the cooler stuff we buy and
do with it uh someone asked and I didn't realize
people didn't know this, but who is the white dog that woofs at the end of every C-Boy
video?
I guess it is probably a lot of new people that don't know.
So, I guess are we ever even stated that?
Have we ever explained it?
So in Cormoron, this was like years ago, the dog's actually passed away now, but there
was two guys running for mayor, and like, I mean, I like the guys, but some of the people
didn't like one of the guys, some of the people didn't like the other guy.
And then there's this dog that always would just walk around Cormon, this really big white,
fluffy dog and like he would just walk miles yeah his name was duke anyways someone put his name on
the ballot and everyone voted for the dog so these two guys lost the dog so then the duke the dog was
the mayor of cormorant and it made like national terms yeah i think he was on ellen i don't think
it was on ellen but you made on like today show like if you type in duke the mayor or mayor of
cormoran minnesota it's a dog people are like man you guys are the most people or the most famous people
from Cormoront, Minnesota, which is like a population of seven people.
And we're like, actually, no.
No, no, Duke, Duke already put us on the map, dude.
Cormorant really is turning out some content creators.
We got us.
We got freaking Jake and Duke.
And Duke.
What?
Population to, or population creating content to people.
It's pretty solid.
Yeah, it's got to be an insane ratio.
That's true.
Dude, I wonder, I wonder if we could, like, get our own dog and do, like, like,
make the dog the mayor because then you know you can't just do that any locals any locals
any locals i got problems if we got a dog and it was like a good unit of a dog we could make it the
mayor i know but we should have to wander around and like who's the mayor nobody nobody i don't think
so yeah they just couldn't do it why did they need a mayor i don't know i'm thinking about it like what
what what is the point i don't know i think i think it was more so just for the title and then
no one wanted to give them to him give the title to him but all right what else you got for us ryan
dude hold up
could we get somebody
on the inner side
like the inner works of
of uh
hormant government
and do what
I don't think we need one
get Big Ken in there
on like the board or like
Big Ken would just say no to every movie
so yeah I can't get anything done around here
a local a couple local kids want to
do this
no no
no
I wasn't even done saying what I was saying
nope doesn't even look up he's just scrolling
with his leg, smoking his rape.
Okay, what else he got?
Okay, this is a good one.
Seaboy's top moments
when they got in deep trouble as kids.
I've got quite a few, honestly.
I don't know if there was deep trouble, but...
I was thinking about that when you guys were talking about
the cake smashing, chair smashing story.
I haven't really gotten in trouble in a long time with my parents,
which has kind of been nice.
You know, you grow up and then...
I've never gotten, like, real serious trouble.
It would be like I was in trouble, but it wasn't like I was like, like I couldn't do anything or got taken away.
But like one time, so this was my senior year, I got in trouble on my own.
My parents didn't have to, uh, oh, with the police, they didn't even have to like, uh, whatever discipline.
Discipline.
Yeah, I don't even know the word.
They didn't have to discipline me because I was already in so much trouble.
Um, so who?
Just what I'm going to tell you.
So it was senior year of high school, and it was like the end of the first semester, so we had finals coming up.
And in math, and I was always a pretty good student, honestly.
I could hold my own, and I'd get like B's and A's for the most part.
Anyways, in my math class, some kid went and the teacher had a picture of the answer sheet of the final.
on her desk and he took a picture of all the papers and uh it started kind of you know
circulating whatever like someone someone had it and uh i was kind of on the inside circle i didn't need
i didn't need to cheat i i would have honestly taken the final and been just fine but i'm sitting in
class and uh the kid behind me was the one who took the pictures and he goes i was kind of one of the
early receivers, but he mentioned it to me.
I'm like, you got, you got a picture of the final?
Okay, well, uh, you mind sending that to me?
Because obviously I want to see.
Like, I'm just using my resources at this point.
Yeah.
Like, I didn't need it.
You're a hustler, dude.
Yeah, why wouldn't I?
So, well, maybe because I didn't have, uh, maybe ethics back then, but no, uh, but it's
just, I didn't think it was such a big deal.
So he sends it to me and, uh, I get it.
I'm like, great.
well start sending around more and more and circulating pretty soon come time for the final uh i go in
and like i didn't even like cheat like i i obviously saw the shit but i didn't like go in and have
like stuff written down or anything i just knew what was coming up and like i i knew how to solve
all the stuff but yeah i had definitely a head start so i finished the final or i'm taking the
final and the kid in the class that had the had the fucking sent me the pictures in the middle
of the final i'm like three fours through the principal comes in and goes during the final
yes wow we got to take his name out uh he actually listens to the podcast he's actually a pretty cool
guy anyways uh it's pose him out of the class i'm like fuck i'm like here we go i'm looking
around and like there was another kid in the class
that had it too and we both look at each
other and we're like oh no
this isn't good this isn't good
so he pulls him out and takes his
phone immediately that's when I knew I was fuck
because took his phone right out of his hand
as soon as he hopped out of the class
can a teacher do that
back then they could apparently
I'm sure they still can
so I'm like fuck this isn't good
so I they just go and turn
the test in it was three really you just gave
up
AJ you're not
on yourself?
I was like three fours through.
Fuck it.
Why do I bother doing this?
I'm getting in trouble.
No,
but this is why I did it.
This is why I did it.
I wouldn't turn that shit in
so I could get on my phone
and I deleted all the pictures
and all the messages
of me sending it to other kids.
It was a sacrifice.
I don't want to, you know.
So I go and sit.
I'm like,
ah, fuck, here we go.
You know,
so I'm fucking deleting
all these pictures of us,
me and my buddy's drinking,
doing all this.
Doing all this bad shit on my phone, too.
I'm like, he's going through.
Like, I better clean this up.
So I'm sitting there.
Of course, here he comes.
C.J. Litzer.
And I think he pulled the other kid too, or another kid.
And we fucking step out.
I'm like, God damn it.
Here we go.
He takes my phone.
I'm just like, at this point, I know I'm in for it.
So I'm like, okay, we're good.
So I walk in.
And there was another kid in there.
This kid, it was actually from a different math class.
because it was all the same final and he got caught because he was he had his fucking phone out if this kid wouldn't have gotten caught none of us would have been caught but he got his had his phone out and the teacher saw it and then they fucking yeah he narked i think or trace it so i walk in the office and they got like these rooms they're putting us in and i'm like looking around never even been in the principal's office this is my first time so i'm like looking around and i see the kid and he's like sitting there like crying in the room and he just looks at me like this he's like and i just go like this
And I just go sit down
And I'm like
They fucking cranked
The cold air in that bitch
I don't know if they were purposely
Trying to do this to me
But they made me like sit in this room
With like nothing
For like an hour
It's like a prison cell
And it was like the last period of the day
So everyone got out of school
I had to go to hockey practice
Everyone gets out of school
And I'm still sitting here we go
So anyways it comes in
Basically like asked me all the shit
You couldn't find anything on my phone
And I was like yeah yeah
I just looked at it
And I deleted it
which was a lie, which not cool.
But I did it for, I did it for the greater good
because literally fucking half the class,
like everyone fucking had that thing.
And I stopped the trace, dude.
You were like, I stopped the trail.
I stopped the trail.
I was like, no, I didn't send it to anybody, nothing.
Saved so many people.
Like people after, I'm not kidding you,
for like the next week, we're like, hey, man,
like, thanks for doing that.
Like, I'm not kidding you,
when I came to hockey practice,
there was like a few kids,
I'm not going to say their names.
They were like fucking nervous
that they were,
going to get it and i was like no no i told them like i didn't send it and like i had everything to
lead and they're like dude i ain't no narc like yeah like so anyways i go home from school then i tell
my mom she's like well that's not good because i'm gonna get a zero on the final i got a zero on my
math final i could have gotten a fucking a honestly like i i knew all the shit but i was just like
i mean i'm gonna use it if it's going around yeah so yeah that that happened i got zero on my
math final still got into college yeah luckily my shit my she didn't get to take it no because
i had like a 91 in the class so i got a zero and it was worth like 20% of your grade so i ended up
like getting a 71% yeah so i still got to see really screwed yeah it's a good thing though because
some of the kids that got caught cheating they had like uh you know maybe like a 70 already so like
they kind of need it they got like f's dude i don't know what they had to do yeah my dad comes home and
like my mom heard and all my dad say was like did you uh did you like telling you
anyone else like did you tell him like or i don't know what do you use but he basically asked me if
i ratted out any of the other kids i go no and he goes okay good that that was it that was it he was just
proud of me that i didn't rat anyone else out and i was like yeah well that's that's important
so i didn't i didn't ark anyone else out and then basically i got fucking a suspension from hockey
i just came back from a concussion missed half the season got suspended for another two weeks i
fucking played like seven games i won't hear but uh that might have saved you actually
quite a bit of trouble if you were suspended from hockey.
Yeah, I know.
It might have been due for it, but yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Man, that was a hell of a story.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I forgot about that.
Yeah.
Hey, whatever happened, uh, wasn't that around the same time and maybe you don't want to
talk about this, but your mom came downstairs and there's that girl sitting in your
Oh, that was the, that was a year before.
That's, I always remember that story.
Dude, I thought that's initially what you were going to talk about.
That was like another kind of the same, uh, theme.
technically basically like I was a junior in high school and like there was this girl
she was an upperclassman and like we had been hanging out we've been hanging out
and wait I love that she was she was in grade 12 I was grade 11
oh no you stop but when you're younger that's that's pretty cool yeah I feel that's pretty cool that's
Very cool.
And she was like, at the time, she was like pretty popular girl for how good looking she was in school.

Anyways, I had like somehow started talking to her from some party or whatever.
And we started Snapchat, whatever, and we started doing this thing where, like, she would sneak over, and I'd sneak her in through my window, and she'd, like, stay the night when my parents were upstairs.
But didn't you have, like, an egress window or whatever?
Or no.
No, it was like in the window well, dude.
Yeah, in the window well, that's like a big thing.
Yeah, but you were like stairs.
It was like a whole other entry.
It's a window.
Coming through the window.
A whole other entries.
He's just, it's coming and going from the house.
It's just during the day.
out and then uh you know she'd leave in the morning anyways i thought my parents were leaving that
morning uh this i did this a couple times i thought my parents were leaving that morning um early
they didn't fucking leave so like we wake up and uh i'm like shit like it's like 11 like i'm gonna go
up there and see you know what's going on and normally i always shower and like get dress
for some reason i throw on a fucking road
I look like you have my walking up there.
I look like you have smoking a big old stokey.
I don't want to fucking know why.
So I walk up in this robe.
What color was it?
I needed for the mental image.
It was brown.
But it was like a nice little robe.
I'm imagining it red and velvet, dude.
I got it for Christmas.
Like it was like some nice, you know.
So I walk up there.
See my mom.
I'm like, oh shit.
Okay.
Well, I can't just run back down.
So, and she kind of seemed like she was already pissed off.
I don't know.
deal was but you know when you're in high school i feel your mom was always mad like
not always but it seemed like it was very easy to piss him off especially at that age um so i
like to sit down start making cereal i'm like okay and i'm like she's just having fucking
rock with his girls down yeah yeah sitting down there and uh and uh basically my mom i'm like
okay i'm gonna go back downstairs my mom all of a sudden is like uh i'm coming to get your lawn
in your room i'm like oh i can get it i'll take it and she's like no no i want to i want to
go and get it like she must have had some suspicion i don't know she had heard something upstairs
that night or something but anyways want to fucking go down there i'm like no no no seriously like
we're good we're good it's like no no i'm i'm gone she's fucking moving i mean what am i going to do
push her like i can't touch her yeah like no no let me get you know basically i'm like
fuck here we go again you know i've always been one of those guys like when i get in trouble i don't
i'm just like i'm just like here we go relatively cool with it honestly i'm like i yeah
it's it's whatever happens happens in this one you got well because you do you look like a dweeb
if you're like oh do it even though you clearly did you just so i just we walk in there fucking uh
the girl's in there like wearing like one of my shirts and like just like sitting at the end
on the bed and it's just like me me the girl and then my mom because i like ran in first and i was
like i kind of i think i ran and i was trying to tell her like like to hide but like where fuck
were she going to hide so like i'm here she's here my mom's here and she goes you stay the night
didn't you uh like she's just mad and like i'm like looking here look at the girl the girl's mad
of me my mom's mad at me looking at me both them are mad at me and then uh she's like just leaves and
She goes, well, I suggest she leaves.
And I'm just kind of sitting there.
I'm like, I just look at the girl and go, well, I guess you don't have to use the window anymore.
Or I said something like that.
Like, well, I guess you can use the front door now.
She's like, no shit, CJ.
Yeah.
But then that, the funny thing about that story, so then I was supposed to go a concert that day.
Couldn't go.
And I had to come and, like, do work with my dad.
So we were like to rake and leaves and bring them to the dump.
And it was just kind of quiet.
Me and my dad are riding to the recycling place to dump the leaves that day.
And we're just sitting there in the car.
And he just kind of like chuckles to him.
So I was like, I'm like, and he's like smiling.
I'm like, what?
What?
And he goes, I bet your mom was pretty surprised when she walked in there and starts laughing.
That was it.
Your dad's just chopping up the whole day.
Oh, man.
Legendary.
That was a long time ago, though.
sneak out stories.
I would have been like 16, you know, there's a long time ago.
Just to clarify.
Wait, wait, what are you worried about?
I'm just clarifying.
It wasn't any time.
Did I was under rage?
I was a minor.
And so was she.
No, he was looking for, what is it, reciprocity after a certain amount of time.
It went off my record.
With his mom.
Yeah, yeah.
Went off his parental record.
They don't care.
They probably think this is funny.
They watch on the podcast.
Mike, you were a little DJ.
Jen?
I never got the big fat, like trouble, trouble.
Like, I snuck out all the time.
I did that.
I didn't come home on time.
Like, that was just, I didn't want to be at home.
But I guess, like, for the story, I am, I'll just preface this now.
I guess this won't work to even say before the story, but I'm not a thief.
I was not like a person who.
Yeah, that's what it would say.
Right.
But I'm not a thief.
I'm a little sticky fingers.
I'm not, yeah, I wasn't prone to having sticky fingers.
But you were a.
CLEPTO.
Whatever that is.
That's like a cereal stealer.
Yeah.
Okay.
But like my mom would load my lunch money up for lunch.
You get a milk and you get lunch.
That's it.
You don't get to get the special ice cream.
Through the school.
Right.
You don't get to get the Capri Sons or the cookies or any of that.
None of that shit.
And it would piss me off because I was like, can I like load my own money on it?
And she's like, you just don't need the cookies and stuff.
I was like, okay, whatever.
Well, then I found out that you could just steal the cookies.
Or steal the Capri Sons
If you were feeling risky
You could steal ice creams
Like that one felt like a little more
Because those were
The school actually had to pay good money for those
I assume the cookies were cheap
And what? You would just put it in your pocket
No I would just like grab it
And then hold it under my tray
And then type my number in
And it's like it was just seamless
I did it a lot
And then he started
With cookies
And then he worked his way up to
I worked up to like the paid items
Yeah
Right right
That's buy and then pretty soon got the car
How are you doing this?
Yep, just one time he stole a train.
Let him tell the story.
And then I just remember them like catching on to me and they're like smack my wrist a few times and I just kept doing it.
I don't know why.
And then I just remember it was like the what, what, what, what's under your tray?
I go, I like tried dropping it.
I was like, nothing.
And they're like, I see it right there.
And then I was just like, all right, you got me.
Didn't think they would do that much.
They suspended me for three days.
What?
Yeah.
In school suspension, I should say.
That's a big difference.
Yeah.
But I had to sit in a cold, dark, prison-like room for three days.
Alone?
And just do homework.
Yeah.
Alone.
Did you at least let your lunch money build up then?
So you didn't have to steal?
Too bad it wasn't out of school.
They feed you lunch when you're in suspension.
Just bread and butter.
Yeah.
Bread and milk.
And a peanut.
That was funny.
Yeah.
So what your parents do?
They were pretty upset.
I would imagine.
Because they were just like really stealing.
and then that was kind of the moral of the story like really you're going to be a thief
and then that was kind of the end of my stealing days that's your plan with life
steal cookies it just pisses me off you were good at it too
that's what they said no I do remember a time where I gotten quite a bit it's probably
the last time I got in big trouble should be good so it was in college was freshman year
and you know when you're a freshman you got the dorms
and you don't really, like, have a place to go.
I didn't have any upperclassmen friends, you know,
the upper class would throw parties,
but you, like, hope you get the invite, right?
So for Ken's birthday, is Ken's birthday?
He has had legendary birthdays.
Oh, yes.
Always had a legendary birthday.
I've thrown him a legendary birthday party since you were, what, 19?
No, that was 21.
He doesn't even appreciate it.
Yeah.
Like, every single one, I will put in Snapchats of it right now
because they were so legendary.
Come to think of it.
So anyway, Ken's birthday, and I'm going to throw Ken a birthday party.
Where at?
My mom's house in Fargo.
My parents are on vacation.
Great plan.
I pre-rented a carpet cleaner.
I had this shit planned out.
I had a theme.
It was Jersey.
All of our college friends were coming.
It was, it was great.
A bunch of frat douchebags wearing jerseys and ladies and ladies' house.
Yeah.
So we had it planned out.
And a party gets going.
It's going great.
Ken's out at the bars with his cousin and his family.
They're having fun.
We're getting first birthday.
Ken's 20 first birthday.
We are, we're having a time.
So anyway, people that I don't know start showing up because you throw a party in a college
starts getting big people people just start coming so i'm like crap you know i went from a shoes on
or shoes off party to a shoes on party and that's what things get bad so anyway party starts
growing i'm like yeah this is still this is still fun this is still cool you know being new people whatever
and then i will give him a shout out because he knows he did it our friend britain thompson
britain britain good guy but got hammered and my neighbor had been watching the party developed
Of course.
And he was actually the brother of a high school teacher in mine.
And me and that high school teacher never got along.
So anyway, he didn't like me.
So anyway, party starts growing.
My neighbor starts noticing his party.
Britain leaves and goes and tackles the neighbor's snowman.
Just, you know, was drunk kid, having fun.
That was the last drop for the neighbor.
That was the straw that broke the neighbor's back.
The neighbor's back.
So anyway, he works so hard on it.
Yeah.
So, no, you know, neighbor coming over, you know, hey, shut down the party, you know.
No, cops.
Oh, calls the cops.
So I'm standing there and, or, well, then so we're partying there, having fun.
And then we see a cop drive by.
And someone goes, there's cops, there's cops.
And we're like, everybody flips.
Yeah.
So I'm hiding.
I've got like a group of like 15 good friends.
I'm hiding in the garage.
Stuff does in the garage.
The garage.
That's Mike got to go to the garage because I know.
This is a chaperone for the garage hiding.
Yep.
We put people downstairs, upstairs.
We were hiding them everywhere.
So I go to get the group out of the garage.
I shut the garage door, lock it, turn around, flashlight.
And I'm caught mid-stride wearing a jersey.
No, probably no pants.
No pants, probably.
Balls hanging out.
No.
I was wearing shorts.
I was wearing shorts.
And no shoes because we were in a rush.
And there's just a cop in the backyard.
And I go, fuck.
so I stop
and I'm like talking to her or whatever
and she's like, this is your house?
I was like, no, it's my mom's.
She's like, what would your mother say?
It was because it was a lady cop.
Oh, and she knew you were having a party.
Obviously.
Yeah, she figured out pretty quickly
that there was a party
and she goes, well, you know,
and gets me going, makes me start feeling really bad.
And I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
And she's like, what is your mother going to say
when she gets back?
And, you know, her house, did she let you have the party?
I was like, no, I rented a carpet cleaner.
and literally the cop like almost chuckled in that moment she was like damn
pretty smart yeah calculated and she was like like what are you going to do the rest of the night
like you need to shut this party down everyone goes home because i'm thinking i'm getting a minor
everybody's getting a minor like we're fucked except for ken because i actually was there and
i uh i wasn't drinking because i couldn't drink at that time but ken was parading around the house
i'm 21 i'm 21 i'll go on talk to talk he was like blacked out drunk
And I'm just like, Ken, Ken, stop.
And all these people, like, are in the bathroom.
Like, he's going to get us in trouble.
No, yeah, I'm quite a lot.
I'm like, dude, stop.
I forgot about that.
I fucking stuffed him in a bathroom.
I'm like, shut the fuck up.
So anyway, I defuse the cop.
And she goes, okay, well, shut the party down, clean it up.
Like, we're good.
But, like, I'm coming back in an hour.
If anybody's here, like, you're all getting.
I'm like okay great
I'm like everybody get the fuck out
yep so everybody bails out of the house
they're coming out of the garage
I think the cops were probably like yeah
there's a lot more people here than we thought
and there's so many cops
there's quite a bit of cops and I walk out the back
and I had my car parked in that alley
and I was a sober one so I had to drive
and I had a Subaru double X at the time
that was straight piped super fucking loud
cold starts I started up
and the cops Ryan said he was standing
next to him they started like look around like what what is that what is that and then you're
sitting there like idling let it warm up and you get him out of here get him out of you got mad at me i'm
standing there like shivering in my freaking jersey get him out of him they got mad at me get him out of
so i drove micah and ken and maybe one other i think i don't know one other person were with us
and we went to micha's apartment ken was so drunk he's are throwing up in the toilet that's where we got the
legendary me picture ever and then we left we had to go back i wanted to go back and help you
defuse whatever situation we had and we left ken on my bathroom floor
micha accidentally took his phone so we left oh yeah at this apartment half like way across town
he woke up in the morning no phone no one there and it was like a pretty snow fence there's a pretty
shitty apartment like i just woke up on the floor
I don't know if you really had, like, couches then.
How long do you live there?
Because there was a time where there was like no actual couch.
Can we put the picture of Ken throwing up in the toilet?
I'm pretty sure I got a selfie with him.
So many beautiful memes have came of that.
And so, yeah.
Anyway, the cop leaves.
Everybody else leaves.
I'm standing on my porch, you know, watching everybody get out of there.
And I look over and my neighbor is standing like this on, on his,
porch and I was like this fucking asshole that's what I figured out no not like in
freaking project X like that but I that's when I figured out I'm like that's why I got the
cops called anyway uh you know cops leave whatever I think I'm like okay got the house cleaned
up Justin friggin puked on my sister's floors it was a mess uh got the party all cleaned up
everything's good and I'm like okay I'm good my parents come home I was not good that
The next day?
No, they came home like half a week later.
I'd forgotten that I even did the party, you know?
And they came home and I got reamed so hard.
My parents, like, canceled a vacation because they were like,
we can't trust him to be alone.
As you're in college.
Yeah, I was like in college and like for change the locks.
For quite a while, it was like, we're going to be gone this weekend.
Do not throw a party.
Yeah.
I was like, no, I learned my lesson.
I think I threw another party.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Bad boy.
Dude, something about Ken's birthdays.
They're so legendary.
Well, it sounds like February 5th, the snowmobile rideout,
aka Ken's birthday party, birthday bash.
I know.
It's going to be another big birthday bash.
Dude, I don't.
It's a bash.
I want to maybe have like Ken sit down, dude,
or maybe it would get too long,
but Ken's 22nd, almost just as legendary.
This 22nd, Ryan threw the party at his apartment.
Oh, yeah.
The apartment was the best place to party, period.
Yeah, we know if you really talked about Ryan's college days.
And we'll do a whole podcast on that.
Yeah, we'll have a lot of stories today.
I think that was the last of the question.
She said, all right.
Oh, man.
That was fucking funny.
Dude, I honestly, like, if I seriously thought about some of that stuff, like, if you look, once you start looking back, you can remember more and more stuff.
But, like, I hardly remember anything right now.
I got to start digging for it.
But I feel we got a lot of funny stories like that.
So, Nelk dropped their end.
NFT last week and uh there's obviously been a lot of speculation on it i feel like a lot of people
are saying it's a cash grab other people are you know happy about it and thinking it's a great
investment uh ben and i bought one each actually ben bought two i bought two yeah really you buy him
with ethereum yeah it cost it 0.75 ethereum and they've actually gone up theory like i mean
they're i think the value of it is like a 1.2 right now
So we would have made some money if we were to sell, technically,
but also Ethereum has gone down the price.
So, yeah, what are you guys going to do with them?
Are you going to, like, hold on?
Because NELC says that they're going to have, like, hotels and clubs.
I mean, they got a lot of possibility behind them.
You see, the problem, and honestly, the reason I bought it was because I don't own any
NFTs, and I was curious on what it would be like.
And I also just believe in NELC.
Like, I think those guys are, like, if anyone's going to say they're going to do something
and do it, it'll probably be them.
Like they can pretty much do anything, I feel like.
Anyways, yeah, the whole deal with the NFT was that it basically is like a ticket.
So there's utility to it rather than just like you're buying it for this like flex of.
I own this expensive picture.
So with the NFT, you get into like exclusive events and all this stuff that they haven't even announced yet.
But supposedly they're going to like set up these lounges and like,
gyms and bars and casinos and like and the I guess they only said this about the lounges but they
said um only the nfti holders will be able to get into it but you only have 10,000 NFTs and they
sold so I should have said this earlier they made like 23 million yeah in two minutes off the
initial minting like the drop of the NFTs they made that much fucking money because they so they
so there's only 10,000 of these NFTs.
So when they sold them, each one was, it equated to like $30, like $200, $3,200 in Ethereum.
No, it was $25, but either way.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then, yeah, they sold out in like nine minutes or something like that, which is crazy.
Wow.
I think that was like one of the most successful NFT mints or something like that.
Yeah, most lucrative, I think.
So they make $23 million on the initial drop, right?
And now they got a $23 million doesn't go that far.
if you're creating utilities of like, you know,
making gyms, making bars, making restaurants or hotels or anything like that
that they say they want the utility to?
Especially if these things are, like you bought the tickets,
so now it earned you access to it?
Like, is there going to be a membership fee on top of that?
Because you're going to need money to run the place.
Yeah.
So now that money's going to run out quick.
Well, now they're just hoping that the value of each NFT,
because then you can go and sell the NFT goes up on like the secondary
market. So then you could resell it for one Ethereum, so an extra $1,000.
And then the creator of it gets a royalty. So NELC would get 10%. So NELC gets 10% of
that. So every time it's sold. I'm assuming that they, you know, take the initial investment
of the $23 million, create the utilities that they, or a couple at least. And then they hope
that there's going to be demand for it. Therefore, people reselling, they get
royalties on the resale of it but but 10,000 people people how far did that go exactly that's
the thing like and some people own multiples like you I think I looked at the actual ownership amount
it's like 6,000 yeah so realistically like you have a you build this big lounge and only 6,000
people can get to it and let's say you built it in fucking California people all around the world
own the NFT how are they gonna like they're gonna travel just to go to your lounge like I don't
know that doesn't make any sense yeah like it's like did they say they were
only, obviously, it's a limited thing.
Did they say 10,000 and cut?
I mean, you could bring a friend, but that's the point of it, though.
Right, right, right.
I'm saying, but I'm saying, was it 10,000 and done?
Or we're like, we're going to release 10,000 in another year from now.
That would just, that would just defeat the, completely defeats the demand of it.
Because then the supply is increased.
Right.
And it's really hard.
And the value goes down.
I'd assume for anybody, like, if we ever did it, if anybody, how do you know what that
sweet number is?
You know, because you want to keep it exclusive.
Seems like everyone's doing 10,000.
Like, Atlanta Rhodes dropped her NFT, which this one, I don't understand it all.
Was it a picture of her?
No, it's like just multiple, like, basically cartoon pictures of her.
And she did 10,000 as well.
I was surprised, and they sold all of them.
Really?
Wow.
She sold hers for 0.15 Ethereum, so significantly less.
But I checked today on OpenC, and they're selling for like one in a half, like one Ethereum.
So you could have made a, yeah, I just don't understand.
Really good money.
I honestly, like, I'm trying to understand.
NFT space that's partially why I bought it but also because I do believe in elk and I like they're
going to go far like they're just killing it on everything um so I wanted to invest in that and back
those guys um but yeah it'll be interesting to see what happens something funny sorry I'm talking a lot
something funny I'm in the discord right so it's like this chat room once you buy the nfti and I'm a
noob to this stuff most people do like fake names I've I just thought this was like my new accounts I'm like
CJ lotser upload like a profile picture me smiling like and I get in this discord and people
recognize me from being like because they that's cool watch C-Boys but so they're like oh
CJ bought a so I get DMs now I got a couple DMs not that many like two or three
DMs saying like hey like I see you're in the discard or whatever when is C-boy is going to drop their
NFT and I was like I mean interesting maybe but I don't want to like if we're going to do this I want to
like do it right so i don't really know much but i was like but these people wanted to they said
if you buy it drop an empty i'm buying and also like there's any way i could work for you and all
this stuff but wow yeah so i don't know it's just another facet that we could look into but i don't
know yeah people would respond i like i just like the idea of uh your buddy uh was explaining it to us
he explained nfts better than i could ever understand him before yeah no uh niche right yeah um he was like
how he's saying that like it's in a sense it's a way for a true knellk fan or something to like
put their money where their mouth is it's not like hey pay us if you really like our contact
not like that but yeah it's like put put your money where your mouth is like and show us some real
support and that's kind of what's happening and i think it's pretty cool it's investing in like
the creator essentially so like i guess if nilk keeps going on and they keep doing all these things
Like if they drop full send gyms and full send lounges and a full send casino, I guarantee you that
Metagard is going to be worth more.
Yeah, exactly.
And that's the thing.
And honestly, like, yeah, so it's going to be interesting.
But there's so many different ways you can do an NFT.
And I don't know how, I mean, it might as well.
It's the end of the podcast.
Like, it seems like there's like the cool way, which is like, or not the cool way, but like the,
the flashy, like, um, flexing way, you know?
It's like buying like a chain, like a diamond.
chain like i spent 10 grand on this chain i have this 10 000
nfts personally i think the 10 000 chain's cooler but like what are you going to walk around
and show this fucking little jpeg image of your well that's what people started doing they
started on twitter yeah that's pretty fucking smart well or or a lot of people are making it their
profile pictures because then it's like yo people know but then it's like do people really
know but even the NBA and ufc we're watching the fights they are tapping in nfts
UFC dropped like a they basically it's like a card pack they had uh like a best moments pack
oh yeah like when we were watching the fight they were advertising in the corner and NBA does
with NBA top shots yeah so like there everyone is tapping into the nfts market i mean we
definitely would have to learn more but it's definitely obviously logan ball has done a lot with it
and it'll be interesting to see what happens so you know like i think the utility of it is cool
I'm not 100% sold.
I just don't like the flex.
On the picture version of it.
I love that it can be that you make a bunch of money,
that you can make money.
That's cool to me.
But also it's like,
how do you know?
And like what's the point?
Why does it go up?
I love that.
But the utility to me is like,
something really cool.
It's a way to like the blockchain thing.
You own it.
And when you sell it,
if I sell it to CJ,
I no longer own it and CJ owns it and no one else owns it.
Yeah.
Or at least that particular one.
I think that's cool.
I tried to buy the knock one the next day.
I freaking put Ethereum into it and then I was bidding on this one and messed on what OpenC?
OpenC for from somebody who minted it.
And then I messed up and like at the time I was like bidding on them because I was like, well, I'll do it and get cheap.
So I wrapped it.
I wrapped my Ethereum and then you're supposed to be able to transfer it faster.
So it's a little pink logo.
I don't know, but I messed up because I tried to then buy later when the floor went down.
I could have bought one for like 8.8.
And I was like, oh, this is, this is great.
But I'd wrap my Ethereum.
So then I would have had to unwrap it to put it in a normal Ethereum.
And I was doing that.
And each time it was costing me like $35.
Yeah.
Yeah, weath, they call that.
Yep.
And so I, anyway, I thought you said weath.
Yeah, weath.
Weith.
Anyway, I'm stuck with all this.
Yeah.
It reminds you of Patrick.
It's just crazy, dude.
It's like he said weist.
I thought he said weist.
The stage we're in right.
now and i mean plenty of uh smart people have said this but is like the like late 90s like internet
boom again this is you know this is web three basically is what they're calling it and uh it's a new
time i i imagine it's it's only going to become more and more yeah um prevalent in everyone's
life's i'm curious to know what the people listening right now think of all of that yeah because
That's a two hours.
You know, obviously it is very confusing.
Would our fan base even want us to?
And that's the main reason that me and CJ initially wanted to buy the Nalk NFTs is just like, you know,
it's a good place to start.
And obviously we believe in them.
But I was super confused as to like how to even buy one of these things.
So, I mean, just going through the process of figuring that out pretty simple.
I thought it was pretty easy.
It's pretty simple now that we've done it once.
But obviously a lot of people do not understand.
them at all and they think they're just pictures which you know a lot of projects really are but i'm
curious to know what the people watching or listening right now think of them so if you just leave a
comment i mean if we were to drop an nfts like would that even be something you're interested in
because i mean we yeah it's just i wonder if that's something our audience would even be interested in so
yeah comment that down below i think that's it for today yep come out to ken's big birthday
Ken's birthday bash, February 5th.
Hit the subscribe button if you haven't already.
And you can come.
You can come if you don't have a snowmobile either.
That too, yeah.
Just show up.
Oh, right.
There's a bar, food.
We're going to be hanging out, talking, taking pictures, all that.
So, yeah.
Anyways, peace out.
Peace.
Peace.
Thanks.
