Well, boys, we're back. We are back. I mean, it feels good. Feels great, man. I'm so happy to be doing another one of these. It's kind of been a minute. Yeah, we got away from it. We got just really busy, honestly, and then we were traveling.

We brought the podcast stuff with us when we went to Florida. We were hoping to do a podcast with somebody, another creator, but it just didn't work out. Everyone was super busy, including ourselves. We wouldn't have even had time to do it. But Ken, you're on the podcast. I'm here. Why are you here? Ben's out sick.

Yeah, all of us are sick right now, except for me. You're doing good. And Ryan. I'm developing a couple. I'm a little nervous. So I was going to say that. Like, since we roll as a. crew like I'm not joking we are together 24-7 if someone gets sick we pretty much all do and it's

it sucks because it's not all at the same time it's almost one after another so it's like very unproductive right you got you got sick first yeah and i got sick ken got right after me you guys got true Ryan was sick last week too I've been sick for like a month well let's let's get into this a little bit because there's two different sicknesses going around here we got just sick ken and pink eye mike as we like to call you now yes I was going to I was thinking about rocking today, if I take these off, though, I can't see you. I can't make eye contact with anybody, which I think is fine. This is mostly an audio-driven podcast here. Your eyes look great, though. Yeah, they're looking better.

If we can put a picture on the screen, I don't even like showing this because they were so, they like red, redder than the depths of hell, dude. I have green eyes, so I was like looking Christmas. But anyway, it was gross. So, yeah, I'll pop that out there. I've never seen anything like that. We hop in the truck to go film our on ice video in Duluth. And Micah's eye looked normal when he hopped in the truck. He looked completely normal. And then I literally watched it develop over the course of 30 minutes in the car ride. He was like, my eyes like feeling kind of weird. And he's like itching it. And I'm like, yeah, it looks a little red. And I turn around. We drive for another five minutes. He's sick. God, dude, my eye is just burning.

I turned back. It's fucking like quite a bit worse. And then, you know, just got to the point where it was just damn near shut and it was like drooling. Oh, he's so gross. And I remember Ben noticing like halfway through the drive. Oh, bro, are you okay? You thought I was crying for a second? I was like, I wish I was crying, bro. And then the worst part is this is as far as I know.

Like, you have to be really careful about it. You can obviously get away with this, but it spread to the other eye like the next day. So. Yeah, when I saw you, it was gnarly. It was nasty. It's a lot better now. So, you know, I, I've been really making sure we try my best to stay my distance from all of you guys,

but it's pretty freaking hard, especially when I have to ride, spend 12 hours on a truck with you. Right. But honestly, so far, so good. I've been taking my vitamin C, eating healthy. We'll see what happens. But, Mike, how did you get your pink eye? I don't know. I mean, I could tell you I possibly got it from the girl I'm seeing right now.

But that was like six days after I saw her. But there was another girl? No, no. Well, I mean, it only makes sense that you got pink eye from the person that. Right, right. So I don't know how that happened because, like, I had slept alone for, like, the past five nights and Friday morning I woke up with it. I think that was the worst part. If I would have just stayed home, it would have gotten bad either way.

We had to go film a video and it ended up being really good. But I should not have gone on that trip with you guys. I feel like there's like a funny, you had a funny story that you told me, Ryan. You're like, don't go over there. and hang with her you're going to get pink eye so big big old spoiler uh mike is dating my or talking to my sister seeing my sister so uh my sister gets pink eye and she comes over and wants to help with orders and i'm like no get out of here like i don't want your pink eye right and so then she got like exiled over to the corner of the shop and micha being the nice guy he is

comes over and helps and then he like we work all day and he comes home and my dad sees my sister's eye and it's like oh my gosh wow and he goes well geez mike you better steer clear of that otherwise you're going to get it at that point i had already like it was too late if that makes sense that's true it was like the night before and so i didn't think too much of it i was like well if i get it like i'm screwed like i already got it i'm saying what'd you say what'd you say to randy when you walked in eh it'll be fine no i think you were like no i think i'll be okay well and so that's the funny thing is fast forward to like six days later let's say like right before I got it I'm like look at me I'm fine I wasn't boasting about that but yeah

it was like wash your hands a thousand times and I was just like again I was like if I have it like it's already too late it's weird because she got that on what Saturday and you like basically Friday she added and then seven days later I got it I just I don't know how that works you know maybe it was on a towel a blanket or a t-shirt or sweatshers maybe it like takes a little bit so maybe we're all we're all screwed awaiting our pink eye if you're you're you get it dude i'm gonna feel really bad oh i thought you're gonna say you're gonna laugh i mean i'll make fun of you to think of it like you guys did but it'd been pretty freaking funny because like in the video uh the on ice video in deluth i'm afraid to scratch my eye right

uh you know we're like kind of razzing you well we weren't even kind of we were razzing about it was pretty freaking funny and then uh it'd have been hilarious if like the next day we woke up and all of us had pink it's like if it would have been right after yeah you guys didn't even have to say anything to roast me. You were just like, you just looked at me and you were like, Mike, dude. Pink eye Mike. It's like everything, like you could be like drinking a coffee.

Drinking a coffee, Mike. I was literally trying to get my super run stuck yesterday. I was just trying to fucking rev it out and just drive it. And you guys go out at the door and go, Pink Eye Mike. What do you even mean, dude? It's always something. Last week you were drinking cream soda. So we're like, cream soda, no, it was cream soda Dr. Pepper, like flavored,

which makes it even funny. Everyone's like, yeah, Mike loves cream soda. Stupid shit like that. Honestly, it makes me laugh. It only works with you. I feel like it's funny, though. So you guys stayed in the hotel last week. Yeah, yeah.

But we wouldn't let Mike asleep in the hotel. Oh, okay. Ken's like just, oh, yeah. We were going to let you, Mike. But, okay, so the problem was we want to get two rooms. But we couldn't get two rooms because it was literally booked. I guess Duluth is like a pop in town. We managed to find one room, but we were all going to have to share

and someone would have to sleep in the same bed as Mike. And we're like, dude, honestly, like, you're going to have to get a cot. They didn't have cots anymore. It's apparently a fire hazard. So then we're like, dude, you might have to sleep on the floor. And Mike's like, of course I got to sleep on the floor. I get it, but, ugh. And then he ended up just staying at Evan.

They took care of me. Evan and Nikki took care of me. Hopefully they washed those sheets and bunnies. They did. I told them too. I was like, make sure you wash this, obviously. Did that little kid there. I'd hate for that kid to go to school with a blazing pink eye.

Yeah, that would suck. Big Ken. Enough about that. Yeah, Big Ken, have you taken that hat off since the Limoiret's race? Yeah. You just, you just. I think he more meant, like, obviously you take it off to sleep, but, like, that you've been rocking that since you won first place.

I don't blame him. Seventh place. Since you won seventh place. Yeah, I mean, there's other hats I have. But, I mean, he's a race card. You earned it. Honestly, you earned it. That's what I think Mike has said.

He was like, yeah, Ken earned wearing that hat. Like, it was pretty sweet. Ken, that was the most intense thing I've ever seen. It was the most intense thing I think I've ever done. That was, okay, that was going to be my question. Was that the craziest thing? Yes. I mean, it had to have been.

I've never, like, raced anything before, and that's, like, it's exhilarating. Just, like, doing that. Do you look at Crown Victoria's different now? No. No, they're still slow turds. They're tough. They are way tougher than I thought they were. cars honestly so you don't see one driving down the road and be like damn that's that thing's

pretty man i'd love to race that thing no because i haven't i haven't passed a crown vick without the crown vick yeah i i do look at them definitely now he said it's interesting because in florida they still use crown vicks they're obviously phasing it out they still use them as the police vehicles which is interesting we're talking old like oh three oh seven dude anyone could outrun that thing well that too yeah they're just big fat v8s and so cleetus is probably i think he that he said that he's nearing like the end of being able to do Crown Vix. So now he's just like, well, no, it's fine.

I'll just switch to the old school four-door chargers that they made into police. I always thought cop cars were fast, like Old Crown Vix. Those things are like the slowest cars I've ever driven. They maybe were fast back in like 1999 through 2005, but they're so slow. They ain't no Tesla.

No, they're no Tesla, but... Could you outrun them in your new Blanco? I think my Bronco. it was still faster than those. Oh man, we're moving so fast here. Anyway, Ken, you hit some barrels at the race in your heat race. It was just you out there. Obviously, this is his first time hitting the track.

It was a qualifying. Qualifying, yep. So if you don't know what qualifying is, basically, you go around the track, and it just goes off your lap time. So whoever has the fastest lap time out of everyone gets to be put in, like, the first starting position, so you have an advantage in the race. but they only put, like, four guys on the track for qualifying, and you're not supposed to really pass each other

because it's so spaced out in, like, two laps. You shouldn't be able to lap each other. But freaking Ken comes out there, the maniac he is, starts smashing barrels. The crowd is going wild, and I was thinking in my head like, this is going to be a long race. So qualifying, I talked to the guy in front of me.

I think he was the Danger Ranger winner, so he really hadn't raced much stuff either. Apparently he's good at it, though. He was the first qualifier. I was up second, so I, you know, pull it on the track, sit there for a little bit, do a little warm-up lap, and then it's like the actual qualifying time.

And I just follow him straight into the first corner, and he starts, the back end starts sliding out. And I was like, oh, shit. So I break a little bit, my back end starts sliding out. I was like, oh, boy. So I corrected it perfectly. Over-corrected it again, and then just smash a couple barrels.

Do you tail-tap those things? It looked like you were just trying to tail-tap the two barrels I had no control in that situation. I'm so glad that you were the one out there racing because it was hilarious and also it was just so much more entertaining, I feel like. Even if we would have taken like first place, I feel like it couldn't have been any more entertaining than it was with you driving.

I felt bad because I broke the seat like halfway through my portion of race. It seemed like every guy that was over 180 pounds broke their seat though, right? Like the seat brackets, they weren't. like sturdy enough. I felt bad for Haley because she's sitting here in the car. She would barely see over the steering one if you look at the GoPro footage. And then she had to use her foot to get the Noss button. That was the funniest part.

But yeah, I mean, you can't feel super bad because it happened to a bunch of other people. But it was unfortunate. We got bolted in race seats with like five point harnesses and somehow like it breaks. All the dudes who don't race all broke their seats. They're probably in the worst shape. Probably. Yeah, dude. That was so funny.

Yeah, Weston, Champlin. Big dude. I love how he's just like, if you follow me, you're going to end up in the pits. And Ken probably followed him for a good 20 minutes, 25 minutes. Dude, I love Weston. He's the funniest dude. I've met a lot of YouTubers.

I don't want to say a lot, but I've met a fair amount. And most people are like, you know, they're on character, you know, when they're being on camera, they, like, turn it up, like, quite a few notches. Weston is the exact same off-camera. When I first met him, I was like, is he just never break character? Is he, like, trolling me right now? What is it going on? But he just stayed that way the whole time.

And I was like, wow. Like, even when someone's not rolling, he'll just burst out and yell across the whole scene. That guy is an entertainer. He's a genuine nice guy. Yeah, no, he's a good guy. He's a good guy. Shout out to him, dude. If you guys haven't checked out his channel, Weston Champlin, that guy, he kills it.

If you're in the cars. Yeah, he's funny shit. We were trying to do a podcast with him. down there. Yeah, it just didn't work out. He was busy. We were busy.

Like, he's blown up fast and we didn't realize, like, how new he is kind of to the game as far as just, like, just chatting with him about. He's like, yeah, things came really fast. And, like, you know, I built the smoke stang and, like, I don't know. Like, all his followers are coming really fast as you. It's sweet. Yeah, good for him.

Ken, I was thinking about when you said that the Mullets race was the most intense thing you've ever done. And I remember a story about you when you were like what, like 12 or, 13, you and your dad went snowmobiling in the mountains. Oh, yeah. And you spent the night on the mountain in the middle of the wilderness in a snowstorm. You guys were out riding all day.

A snowstorm blows in and you guys couldn't see. Yeah, it was a blizzard. Like we were out in Island Park and it was nice, clear day and then... You got stranded out there? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. A blizzard came in and it was just blowing snow. You couldn't see anything. And we just, like, it just had to stay where we were because we couldn't find our way back.

Yeah, but where are you working? was like 15 miles into the wilderness no it was literally 50 feet off of a trail yeah but out in the mountains like you weren't like sleeping next to the hotel or in the truck or something you were like so what did you do were you scared literally just like sat there you get did you get a fire going yeah oh my dad my dad made a fire just imagine ken had a what did i have i think i had a freestyle was a free snap oh shit it was a scadu freestyle back then and i think he had some like trail sled or something like that because it was literally it was me and him and i think cody no cody was looking for you yeah he's probably terrified he's like i just lost my dad and brother because i think

it was it was it was just us too because we were you didn't have phone reception or anything i suppose there's no there's no there's no cell phones out there even now but no we just had to like literally find like a group of trees where the wind wasn't quite so bad and built a fire and then just stayed the night until the storm stopped in the morning were you scared gang no You weren't scared? Are you kidding? I really don't remember. Just imagine. I was like in third or fourth grade.

I really don't remember it. Keep in mind, when Ken was in third or fourth grade, he looked exactly how he looked now, just shorter. So like, same beard, everything. Stay in the night. I remember you, like, slightly telling me this story, and you said, like, you didn't sleep. You're like, what was the point?

We had a fire going, like, it was scary to go to sleep, so we just stayed there and stared at the fire. You might as well. There's nothing to do. Yeah, which I'd have to agree with. I don't know if I would necessarily burrow down and try to sleep. I don't know what's in the Wyoming wilderness out there. Something might eat you.

Island Park is in Idaho, but yeah. So racing was more exhilarating than. Oh, yeah. That was like the most like adrenaline thing for 45 minutes I've ever done in my life. It's intense for me too. Yeah, it was. That was so fun to watch. I felt like we all kind of said it.

we were like, all right, I see why people are into NASCAR. If you got a driver, you're cheering on, and you're watching to make passes. I'd love to go to NASCAR race. Drink some beer. I think we should. I think we should. It'd be fun to go watch, like, one of Haley's races. Yeah, that would be really fun.

So something interesting that happened last week is my grandpa's end. We and Ben, we have the same grandpa, but his house burned down, like, completely to the ground. I've never seen a house. where there's just nothing left. So sad, dude. It was crazy because, like, it just went up so quick. You know, everyone got out. Everyone's okay.

My grandpa did get, like, some third-degree burns to his back. But I think, like, the real lesson here is just, like, having, you know, insurance and just, like, those safety nets in place because, I mean, I don't have health insurance, nor did Ben, but we're, like, definitely going to get it now. and also just like house insurance obviously everyone has that shit but like you know just it's it's crazy how quick things can just go from like normal to just boom and you lose everything so that's been kind of tough uh you know for him and our family we're trying to help him get through it how's he uh he uh he uh you know he has bad burns on his back and uh like they wanted to send him to the burn

unit but he doesn't want to go because you know he's he's a stubborn older man and you know he's he seems be doing good though he's he's yeah what's he thinking like obviously he's got the physical uh burns and stuff what's he thinking like mentally and emotionally like we're so you guys we're talking his house burn to the like the ground there's nothing left of of anything they're on how many years now like what that place is probably built in the 80s yeah it was an it was like a bigger nice house and I mean he had a lot of stuff inside and just you know it's all gone it sucks like he lost a couple cars that were you know really nice cars that he wasn't driving for the winter so he didn't have insurance on him so those were just gone particularly that zero six it's a

zero one oh shit sorry yeah yeah zero one dude it was rare it was rare and it burned to the ground just with all his other cars that's another lesson it's like you you have a vehicle and you're you know just storing it not driving for the winter put the you know storage and insurance on it because like shit like that it's like a hundred bucks for right well dude i've i put my evo in storage when i got uh the gtr for you know a few months because i wasn't going to be driving it and i remember the insurance like like you want to put storage insurance i was like i'm not doing that yeah i did the same thing but i'm i'm going to make sure i do that from now on you know it's just crazy how fast things can change you know like your grandpa was

alive for 70 years never had a fire right but just it takes one thing one little accident guess that's what insurance is for but no but that's kind of a lesson is just like you know making sure you're i would recommend having insurance now before i you know i kind of rode the line of like obviously i some things got insurance some don't but it's just like sucks man sucks but yeah i know his morale is good and i mean like he's a very positive guy and i asked my dad and he's like yeah he's doing pretty good he's chilling he's just you know going to get his back fixed up. I feel like he's not the kind of guy to dwell on stuff.

Kind of how Ben and I are. You try not to, I don't know, you just move on, stay positive. I mean, that's probably about enough on that. But yeah. Speaking of putting cars in storage, CJ, you ordered winter tires for the GTR and then decided maybe not mob it? Yeah, I don't know.

It's just like, it's not that much fun driving it to work because it doesn't even get, for one, it's just shitty out. roads. Yeah. And then for two, it literally doesn't even get warmed up by the time I'm here. Right. Like people might say like that it's a pussy move.

Come on, mob it in the winter. Yeah, we might take it out and drift it. But like, overall, I feel you got to warm that thing up for 20 minutes just to drive it five minutes. Yeah, exactly. So I was just like, eh, I'll just drive the Evo because then I'd have to put the dune tires on, get a different alignment. And I was like, like literally the snow would probably gone three months. I feel like if we weren't quite so far north, we're digging.

get quite as cold it'd be worth it but it's just the roads are always just so if i lived in fargo then i'd probably do it or like a city yeah because it'd be more fun but like i don't know just didn't it just didn't seem worth it to me dude the salt is so hard on things like even you can wash it as much as you want but it's still just is never the same like with our sema truck we're just like we can't yeah we're looking to get a different truck i mean it's just too pretty underneath and it's like if that thing gets all rusted and just beat up under there it's what is it worth to anybody nothing it just looks like shit like the one thing

that it's got going for it is that it looks really good and it sits so tall you can it's like the only thing you see you bend down a little bit you see all the power coated parts so yeah like every truck has a little bit of rust on the frame here and there but it's like down here yeah that truck it's like way up here so you just see it it's like the first thing you see

and that frame right now is pristine like it looks like it's from the south we gotta go freaking wash that thing and just once the roads get cleaned up again, go wash it and then park it in the driveway for the most part. I'd like to put it inside, but it's so fucking big. Yeah, we'll see, yeah. You guys see, we use it.

So, again, it's not the pussiest move parking it. We just want it to be, like, pristine. Yeah, I like driving in the winter or in the summer. Like, yeah. I just want to look nice when we, like, mob it around in the summer. So, Ken, you parked your Tesla. One, because you got a Bronco. Two, because from what we could figure out,

the thing sucks. ass in the snow? Yeah, it has high-performance summer tires on it. Well, yeah, that's a big part of it. I figured out you cannot buy all-season or winter tires for that wheel set up on there. So how does the Bronco do? Bronco is actually fantastic on ice. Like, that thing, it doesn't even, like, it's like there isn't even ice on the roads.

Yeah, I drove it the other day. I was actually really impressed with it. I'm not like a huge Bronco fan. I think they're cool, but, like, also, I don't know. I think it's a really good car, especially after driving it. Like, it really makes a Wrangler look like what has Jeep done to make this drive nice in the last 20 years. I think that's the biggest part of it. Like, after riding with it, I'm like, yeah, I like this more than a Wrangler.

Like driving my moms, I feel like I'm drunk just trying to drive straight. And that thing, it takes no effort. I don't know why. Hear me out. I just feel like jeeps are kind of girl cars. That's just me. And I know you guys disagree. I don't think, like, the, I don't think, like, the fast ones, like the SRT-8 and, like, the track-hawk are.

But I just feel like it's just kind of a girl car. Oh, you're talking to all jeeps in general. Is this because, I mean, most of the jeeps are all small. Right. But then, you know, obviously, like, the Grand Cherokee is, like, I'd say just in the middle. Is this because your girlfriend drives a Jeep? Well, I mean, yeah, she drives a Jeep. But I feel like a lot of, like, just all girls drive jeeps.

Especially, like, the Wranglers and stuff, I just feel like they're kind of girl cars. That's just me. It's the ultimate, like, girl car, though. Yeah, it is. You definitely would pick up a lot of girls, probably if you had a Jeep and took the top off and you were single looking for girls. True. I think up here, too, like, if you live down by Moab or, like, somewhere where people actually use their jeeps, then maybe more dudes have, like, lifted jeeps. But up here, you literally use your Jeep to drive to the mall and then home.

Like, nobody off-rolls. So then girls are buying them because they're like, oh, look, little jeep. Yeah, I don't know, man. I just feel like jeeps are kind of girl cars. And I know a lot of guys have them. Your brother has one. Your brothers is sick, too. Yeah, that's cool.

But I just feel like it's kind of a girl vehicle. I've felt that way for a while. I think they're good girl cars, though, because they're relatively tough. If you're a girl, it's a badass vehicle to drive holes. They can't smoke pot holes? They can hit curbs for the most part. What are you saying? And you're saying girls aren't good drivers or what? No, but.

No, but like, for instance, Micah, you've curbed a couple wheels. And you are, oh, girl. I'm a female, and I have a jeep. But if you had a little more sidewall, you could smoke that curb and it'd probably be fine. True. Smoke that pothole. It is funny, Mike. You do have a record for curbing.

A slight track record. And the reason that I have that is because the one curb I had was so horrendously bad. I'd love to see someone to topped it. When we tried to curb tiny's wheels, it looked less worse than my curb. Literally, whenever I see. Like I saw that Fazi Park downtown I go Mike dude were you driving this thing Like every time I see a curbed up wheel

I just think of Mike Yeah I'll never live that down And so it's given me a goal from here on out To never curb another set of wheels I don't think that's gonna happen Really dude I've never curbed a wheel Besides like you one time you drifted your sube Like straight into a curb

I know that's different I know that's drifting God damn that sucked yeah But I have a video of that Yeah throw it in here that thing that was like so it was it was like minimal like if that happened in today i'd be like fudge but like when it happened then it was like the end of the world i love that card dude i was heartbroken and i was just like i can't believe i did this basically ryan i was like the first no fall of the year and we hop out you guys were like 16 i think right no we were 17 18 19

uh i'd have been yeah 18 or 19 okay okay but we get in my in my Subaru WX and we go and we're mobbing through the snow and like sliding it and we turn around and we go oh we're going to drift it one more time never say one more time like that's when everything goes wrong even Levi Lavalley says that every guy that's ever that ever does anything somewhat riskful it's another one yeah you got to say another one and as we said one more time Ryan hops out to film it I drift around this curb end up sliding a little bit too much hit another curb and like it just like bent the back wheel and, like, oh, it was bad. And we had to go home to your parents.

Dude, I was like, fucking, yeah, they were so mad. But, I mean, it costs like 400 bucks. It wasn't that bad. So it was just the wheel? Yeah, just the wheel and then I had to get a different alignment, but not bad. Not like tight rods or anything. No, I was surprised. I was thinking I, like, fucking bent the frame.

I was like, I totaled this thing. I remember you saying that. You were like, I just hope I didn't total it. And we're like, bro, you think you did? Yeah, well, we didn't know shit. I don't know. But, yeah, I've never curbed one other than that. Yeah, I got a bad track record for that.

Dude, like, just recently we got dumped on. Yeah, dude. And then, freaking. Time to get the snowmills out. If we could, if we could just get them. No, we got quite a bit of snow, dude. I was just a little bit sad, right, since we don't have our sleds and, like, well, luckily you put the tracks on the Maverick.

But when we get snow on that, like, when we film our thin ice videos and we have that glare ice, you just can't beat that look. You can't beat that feel of being on the, lake and having it like be see through to the bottom um yeah when the snow comes even if it's like two inches it kind of ruins that right unfortunately dude i'm happy that the snows here dude like i'm kind of over the thin ice videos and like i mean we did them this year i feel yeah we already did it like i think it's time to i'm ready to just do some other shit yeah i feel it's not something that i wanted to like beat to death like we did last year but i genuinely was having fun like on

no it is fun dude like dude can we talk about the snowmobile stuff studs in the Supermodo? I think that video is out today as well. Like, I didn't think Ben bought these snowmobile studs. We studded the Maverick last year. And then he's like, dude, they're green. We should put them on your husky with the Supermodo wheels. And I was like, if you think it's going to work.

And then, I don't know, they're just sticking out like an inch and we're like, I don't know if this is going to work. Anyway, it was gnarly. It was gnarly, dude. Like, I could wheelie that thing. You couldn't lay it down like Evan could. It's not quite the same. But, like, it was so fun.

Rambo tires. That's what they call them. Oh, you got Rambo tires on. That's apparently what you call it if you have snowmobile studs. I think everybody else is getting a little bit sick of our thin ice BS too. Well, the ice is fucking thin. It is thin. You can't say it wasn't thin ice.

I think it's just like eventually starts to be the same video. Yeah. Over and over. It's so tough for us too because although we're trying to make every week we go out to try to make the most entertaining video we can. Like we do it for you guys watching. and we've got to make it entertaining, but also we could make the most entertaining video. But if we title it like Ken Shaves his beard, well, maybe people would watch that. Come to think of it, but it might not pop.

Exactly. So there is a balance between trying to get other people, new viewers to come and watch the video. And for some reason, you put thin ice in the title and new viewers just come flying in. But like, I'm sure you guys have noticed that in every video, we do like two or three other things that are 100% for your guys' entertainment regardless of what the thumbnail is. I agree. Like, I mean, like testing the Amazon bike that we could have titled it after that too,

but anyway, yeah, we throw the thin ice in there because it is thin and because it's genuinely thin. It definitely just broadens the people that are going to click on our video. We know the people that are listening to this podcast right now and are watching our videos usually are you going to love it because we love it and we know you're going to love what we put out. I don't know if the thin ice is what brings us through. It's just the whole overall idea.

It's just like the concept. For some reason, it really pops on YouTube and it gets a lot of views. You could fall through in this video, but you could. Dude, it's been, every time is riding the edge. I mean, once you start getting to, like, later December, I'd say the only time it wasn't, like, actually thin was, like, a smart car video. Otherwise, it's just how it is. I mean, it's for a car, though.

Well, that's what I mean. We got a car, dude. The ice was getting thicker, but we kept stepping it up with heavier machines. I'm ready to go ice fishing. Ah, dude, same. Same. It's just fun. Yeah.

Obviously, that's one thing you have to wait for when the ice gets thick enough. You can roll those full-size houses out there. I feel like in the winter it gets tough to, like, come up with new ideas, like, or not necessarily tough to come up with new ideas. I think it just becomes tougher to film up here. To execute them, yeah. Yeah, because it's like so weather-dependent oftentimes. So it seems like January and February, it's like a slower month for us, usually.

It's be so miserable filming some of that stuff when it's like 10 below outside. So hopefully we'll be able to do more podcasts Because we'll probably just do one video week For those next couple of months And then a podcast on top of that But I want to like do some stuff where we travel You know Go more places

We definitely like when we travel We get on one You know We're all together feeding off each other And we're like We're doing what we love In a new place that we may have never been It's the best

Yeah I feel like it just opens up For like new jokes Like the vibes are just always I think it forces us to be a little more creative and it like it resets your mindset to Yeah getting outside of our comfort zone just gives you more material to work with oftentimes So that's like traveling you know anywhere obviously like somewhere warm somewhere I don't know where But obviously we'll do some sled videos too we'll head out west yeah I think yeah you guys got to do That because there's so many people out there that love like the snowmobile stuff there is it's interesting

to hear that come from I just a handful of kids obviously we have a good Midwest band of viewers, but there's so many, oh, snowmobiling vids are my favorite. So it's like, we definitely got a hit on those. I think it's,

there's like such a crew of people that love the snowmobiling viz because there's really not that many people, there's really no one doing it to like the level that we do where it's like you go out there, you film like the banter and the bullshit and then the riding and like it gets put together the way it does. Um, that like it's just,

you know, one of a kind, which I mean most of our content I think. is um but it's just they don't have anything else to watch that's doing that so they love it but then it's like the whole other side where it's like i don't even have a snowmobile like where i live there's no snow i don't relate to this at all i didn't want to watch i didn't want my one video that was going to be the sea boys video this week that i love to be a snowmobile one so then like it's like you can't please everyone just like in anything in life but i think you guys definitely

got to go out and do like yeah we got some bad ass let's coming from from Polaris this year. Obviously, they have the new Matrix. We didn't get any of the boosts, unfortunately, but I know Ryan and Ben got the slash chaos, and I got a sick race led for around here. You guys got some Indies, yeah. What did I get?

I got a switch back in it. I was like, leave it again and not remember what he. I got the cool tan color, though, this year. The snow coming in, though, was just, I was happy about it because, like, it just switches up. It gives you something more to do. That's why I was like,

And obviously, everyone thinks this. If it's going to dump, I want it to dump a lot because we get really excited in December. You know, it's like, okay, transitioning to winter, what do we do? Let's do winter things. Well, if you only have, like, four inches of snow, the winter things are really hard to do. But if you have, like, two feet, obviously, it's a lot easier. So we get really excited and perform some of these winter things a little early, but what are you going to do? Oh, you never know, too.

I mean, last year the snow really never came. Yeah. Our ride out at the end of February was. The grass drag pretty much. Sucked. I mean, the ride, like, the turnout was amazing for that. We got to do that again. We got to do another sled, like meat and great, ride out. That's fun.

There's no possible way we could have less snow than we did last year. We got to do it earlier. That's the thing, you know? Yeah, but I mean, yeah, I agree. February is, like, the prime time for having the most amount of snow. It just didn't snow last year. Yeah. I also want to do, like, another, like, up, spend 24 hours in, like, the back country where we dig snow caves again.

That was a lot of fun. Really? That was fun. I mean, I agree. I agree. I was like, it's, I'm glad to get a good time. Yeah. Honestly, it was so much fun because it's just like, I don't know. It was just, who's really done that?

Right. Like dog the snow cave and, like, slept in there. Voluntarily, I should. I was like, involuntarily, people, well, a few, whatever. But, yeah, having the Godfries there was a big help for that. They knew what they were doing. Yeah, I mean, they definitely made it way, you know, it wouldn't have worked if we didn't have them. They had, like, all the supplies and everything, but, and they knew what they were doing.

It was just fun though We set up camp It was like hanging out And I don't know People seem to like watching it I wonder if it would have been the same If we didn't have When we did that

We had like a I think they call it a yurt Yeah It was like you know The structure And it had a stone A wood burning stove And it was just some

Random little like wood Like it would have been Piled trees up And put it Tougher to do it without that Because that's where we put All of our food And that's where that's where Greg stayed

Yeah Greg Godfrey No Well that's how we brought all that stuff in too We had like this big ranger or ranger with track i think it was a general whatever but we brought all our supplies in with that so it was pretty interesting if we do it again we'll probably have to get some some similar setup to that no you weren't there oh yeah i was in texas that week you were in

texas no case no way oh yeah he had uh what we yeah back when you had like your job texas with my uh with my cousin doing doing doing flying shit yeah He's eating really expensive meals. All I know is when Ken goes on his business trips or whatever, they eat good. I'm talking like $100 plus dollars per meal, good. Yeah, we changed that when we picked up, Ken. Ken's like, what the hell is this?

It's like $100 steaks and it was good. Now you just get McDonald's with you with us. And pink eye. And pink eye. Pink eye. They're cold. Sometimes it coars light here and there. I watched this show last night and it was about this guy that climbed

14 peaks in seven months all of the 8,000 meter mountains like in seven months which apparently normally it takes like two or three months to climb each mountain and he did all of them and the funniest thing was it kind of reminded me of us CJ and I talk about burning the candle at both ends of the stick where you work really hard and then immediately as you're done working you go out and you go to play hard you play hard too work hard play hard is kind of our motto but this guy like he literally climbed like three mountains in like 14 days and then he goes to town parties and then goes and climbs like K2 or something like that while hung over and he was like yeah I'm probably the only person ever climbed K2 in a day while hung over

Jesus yeah it was crazy miserable probably worked off his hangover though yeah that's true I think it'd be cool to climb a mountain I don't know what do you mean when you say climb yeah I would I love I love hiking slash climbing but why don't fuck with climbing no yeah they're legit like climbing up the mountain no i think on one of the mountains like one and every three climbers dies but maybe that's a little too of all three of us go one of us isn't if all five us go odds are two of us probably one i think k2 is like that i think that's wow it's like one of the more deadly ones yeah they had a shot of them crossing this crevasse like a big crack in the snow and they're climbing on like a steel ladder and it was like a 500 foot fall of the bomb like

just this abyss. It's probably just ice down there. Yeah. Ken, would you like to do that? No. Well, Ken, really?

That's funny because I remember a couple years ago we had some interview for like a magazine. I'm pretty sure your bucket list thing that you wanted to do was go on an Antarctic expedition. You know why I said that? Why? Because you wanted to do it. I saw a couple of YouTube videos of people, they take like cruises down there.

Oh, my God. That's not an expedition. No. And they, like, they take, like, little dog sled trips in and then you just go back on the cruise ship during the night. That sounds all right. All right. I was going to say, Ken, we'll send you at our own expense. Hey, do you want to go?

We'll pay for it. We'll pay for it. I want to send you on your dream. $20,000. No, no, no, not the cruise ship one. We're talking, you're hiking across Antarctica. No. You and a couple dogs.

Fuck that. And a rifle. And we'll send like a camera crew because fuck that. We're not going with you. That's my favorite thing is every other, every other adventure that we've ever. conjured up we would never send one person to do alone like what have we ever sent one person to do alone like grab the camera and film it's always at least two of us but this trip kentis has to do alone we that wasn't our goal man it's not our dream we want you to do it though i think i remember

see yours was like moved to hawaii move the crew to hawaii was like my bucket list so i was being realistic that sounds pretty fun we'll do that well ken's and antarct so we'll move our But what was yours actually? Like, I think it was just like spend a month in Hawaii. No, I said move the crew. I think it'd be fun to move like the whole operation to Hawaii for a month. It just be, you know, and then we do exactly what we do normally. Fuck around and film videos, except we do it in Hawaii.

We do that during like in February. Our buddy's got the rental house. It's got a 30 day minimum. Well, Ken, you're going to be in Antarctica, but like, we'll, if you want to set that up for us, go for it. We'll, we'll figure out the Antarctic. You'll have fun. Ken would be so pissed. I would be livid

We couldn't pay him to get on that Bro, we can't even get you to go through the airport In a suit hardly Did I do it? You did do that I made it all the way to Tampa too Was it that bad? It was uncomfortable

So for those of you that don't know, we surprised Ken right before we were going to Florida

at like, we had to leave at like three morning. It didn't surprise me. You ambushed me. Okay, well, we showed up at like 2.30 in the morning right before we were leaving the shop and we're like, hey, Ken, you know, we want you to look business casual or just like like you mean business so we gave him the suit and he did not want to wear it and you didn't tell eventually we got him to put it on spread your sickness i got it from you and mike and mike and then i got it from you don't get too close it over here that's the six side of the table what how did you get

i didn't see you all weekend what's up with like you hating random things that we do to you when you wouldn't normally hate them if we weren't the ones doing is it because it's me and cj doing it Like, you'd put out a suit if anyone else in the world asked you. I guarantee you of BJ. Yeah, why'd you put up such a fight for that? Like, hey, man, wear this suit to Florida. It'll be funny. You'd be like, okay.

No, no. Yeah, you would. I like being comfortable when I travel. I don't blame you on that. And wearing a suit is not comfortable, and it's not, I hate wearing uncomfortable clothes and I'm sitting in a metal tube for six hours. Didn't it get you in, like, no. Game zone?

No. Really? Yeah, but it was. It just made me mad. But you guys didn't see in the video is actually how mad Ken was. Like, we had to cut most of it out because it would just be too much. It looked like almost borderline sad, Ken, like how mad you were at us. And then it made us look really bad for getting that reaction out of you.

We were like, holy shit, are we that big of assholes? We were like, we didn't ask him to do that much. I don't. Well, we kind of did you a favor by not showing it. I hated every second of it. I just, dude, I just don't understand why. Because I hate wearing uncomfortable clothes on a... It's not that big of a deal, though.

I still don't like doing it. What about everything else we ask? Well, that doesn't matter. I still hate it. Most of the time, it's something ridiculous. Getting a massage? Getting a massage? Well, I have reason to hate that now.

Why? Why? Because some little blonde kid came and just started, like, stepping on my back midway through it. What about before that happened, though? You think I'm blonde? I mean, you used to be. I thought Ken did, like, a background check on the masseuse. Yeah, well, not more.

A natural blonde. Ken, I thought he was a good guy. Yeah, I thought you guys hit it up. It wasn't bad until some idiot started, like, took control of it and started stepping on my back. You like that, though. You were, like, moaning. You were like, mm-mm. Yeah.

We're in the same room. All right, okay. Ken, you're kind of the king of generic statements. And hating something. Can you kind of are the king of hating something? Yeah. Yeah. I think me and CJ both are the most, like, either love it or hate it kind of people.

I'd agree with that. Yeah. You're polarizing. So what's your deal with Christmas? Why do you hate Christmas? When did I say that? Well, what don't you like about Christmas? When did I say I don't like Christmas?

No, no, no. What don't you like about Christmas? I don't think anything. You don't hate anything about Christmas? No, you're just trying to throw words in my mouth. It's funny because that's exactly what they were doing. We just wanted to see your reaction. Okay.

You either pick the Grinchrout or the Santa Claus route. So congratulations, you are now Santa Claus. And you're picking the route of shoving words in people's mouth. I'm not going to lie, Ken dressed up. Grinch would be really funny. But look at him as Santa Claus. Or Santa, yeah. But, yeah, just you paint a green face going,

but what would I wear? I don't know what else he says, but we'll just piss you off really bad and then put you in a Grinch costume and then it'll be the best thing we've ever done. It's like, don't do that. Doesn't sound like the best thing. That sounds like the worst thing.

Ken, you are a bit of the king of generic responses. I've actually been tracking them. This was premeditated. And this is not a bad thing. I had to lean back. But I realized it. And there was a couple blanket. I called them blanket statements.

There was a couple blanket statements at the beginning of this podcast. You know, like, oh, is that the most intense thing you've ever done? No, you had a real statement on that. So, sorry. But you had a couple blanket statements at the beginning of this podcast. But anyway, I've been keeping track of them. one of them was hey ken do you like the new conier album and you responded with there's some songs i like and there's some i don't when did you ask that there was there was one like while back we were talking

about the conier album and you were like i don't know there's some songs i like some songs i don't i mean yeah there's some that i think are not that great and some that are like but i'm not really a big conya guy but i think you're good you're good at making a nice conversation with people you don't have to like polarize people on something you never you never really attack which is i think a great character trait of yours another one i saw was when you looked at the sculpture at that house you guys were looking at and you go yeah it's something after we're all like wow this is so cool and we're like wow this is so cool oh look at that man i wish i'd one of those in my yard and you go it's something it is something it is something it was at the house

I remember. Well, yeah, it would be like if someone, if we were all like, oh, dude, pop the hood on that thing. You have twin turbos and pops it and can go, yeah, it looks like a motor. Or like when we talk about your Bronco and you go, it's better than a Jeep. It is. It's way better than a Jeep.

That is true. I think we should do some Bronco testing with your Bronco. I have to finish the paperwork, but yeah. Did you ever see that video on Instagram or the guy literally the exact same color as yours and he's like mopping it through some mud like he hits a jump i don't know if he was purposely doing that or if he was just trying to get out of the mud and ended up hitting a jump dude he like bunny hopped it i think jumps nicely though yeah i think he got that thing like in deep water too i think your broncos a little tougher than we thought is that entice you can no no no no i don't

i mean it's like it's like ryan you i i'm assuming it's the same of when you meant to do a donut and then you accidentally smoked a tree i don't think that guy meant to do that with his car that's true i think it just kind of happens but it took it it took it like a champ as did my jeep take the tree i don't know you don't know if that thing broke though you don't know if something broken the suspension or anything underneath because that clip ends right away that's true but can't i think it would be pretty fun to get your bronco out and like the trails yeah just go bombing through some snow maybe bronco testing bronco testing bronco testing I love what we all have this internal

I don't know what to call it but we know for a fact when we get a new vehicle or a new toy that we have to do a certain thing with it when Ryan gets a TRX and we're like alright well now you got to jump it or again when you got the Jetsky all right well you got to back flip it

or you got to do donuts like this is internal thing you know you have to put on for the channel basically to entertain you guys but also like it's just something that you've got to do and if you don't do it you consider it a push and you might break your vehicle

and it might end up a lot but that's just how it goes right have we tested your tier x's jump mode yet we haven't yet yet yet i don't know i'd we're either going to have to like clear a path through the snow now but we can't move dirt and i don't think i could jump snow to snow just like plow through it as long as you land in soft snow i was like what if we built a badass snow jump like that one raptor like that the jump did that jump yeah it totaled it i mean it looked pretty gnarly but Maybe you don't hit it at whatever he hit it at 60 or 70, but we could build a snow jump for the TRX.

Dude, the TRX blows me away after spending some time in it with you. After taking, we took it up to Duluth and pulled a trailer with it. It squatted like a middle school linebacker trying to get bigger quads, squatted. I'm not a ram guy. I don't like really dodge ram trucks or something. I just don't really like the outside look of them. No offense, Ryan. but I do love your truck.

Like, I think it's amazing truck. Like, it's so fast and, like, it's very nice. And it's just, it's incredible, like, the performance of it. But, uh, yeah, no, I'm, I like, I'm sold on them. I think that we should get like a, like a, like a, like a diesel just don't do anything crazy with it. Towing rig. That should be like a RAM, I think, like RAM, $2,500 or something. Mega cab.

Yeah, 500 mega cab with 307s. We, yeah, we already talked about this. a little bit. David McKinney special. Yeah. Possibly a long box? No. He would love that.

I think the long boxes look ugly as hell. No, they do. Long boxes definitely don't look as good, but they're so functional. Yeah. You'd probably be able to throw your snowy on the back of that thing without even having to make habit out of the back. Oh, yeah.

I think you can even fit a long track. It's pretty impressive. It's pretty impressive. Every time I look at you right now, Mike, you just look like you're too cool for school. That's how I, well, like, When I think about how I look, that's how I feel. Just like, man, I just like, I don't have to make,

I can't make eye contact with you guys either because I can't see you. You're just color blobs right now. I can see Ken pretty well, but, like, if I didn't know what your sweatshirt said, I wouldn't be able to read it. And those words are big. You kind of look like a shitty rapper. Man. In the studio.

You think you're too cool. Like this stay stoked. What is that his brand? Yeah. You're like a skier in Colorado. Something like that. Yeah. Just ski bum.

Staying stoked. Or stoned. His eyes could qualify either. Nobody would even be able to tell. You guys want to talk about Morgan Wallen? What do you do? What did he do? Well, earlier this year, he said a word that you cannot say.

Yeah, he got canceled. He got canceled back. But he is the highest selling, or he has the most albums sold and streamed this year. Really? He's the top artist of all artists. Really? Yeah, despite getting canceled, which I think is pretty crazy. Dude, I don't know if you can get, like, his fans, like, he's got the right audience to not get canceled for saying that.

I mean, he got, like, obviously a lot of backlash, but, like, if he was in a different industry and said that, that would have been, like, career ending. Like, let's say he was, like, a talk show host. If he was, like, on the Today show and he was a talk show, dude. you're done you're done and uh or the morning show whatever the fuck it's called you'd be done but like since he's a country singer i feel like he's kind of got like an audience that maybe is a little bit more reluctant to you know forgiving him on that or even caring in all yeah that is so true and based on everyone putting up there like freaking spotify rapt or whatever most people around a lot of people listen to country around us had

Morgan Wallin is like their top. I was like, damn, lots of people listen to this dude. And he's selling out stadiums across the whole country. Maybe he was just so good that it just canceled out. You know, his work was so good that, like, you can't even be, you know, mad about it. I'm not saying it's okay to go around saying that word. I would never say that. Like, that.

But it's also, it's not something that I feel like should end your career. That's just me. I don't think it should. I'm not under. He didn't use it in a derogatory. Yeah, I'm not undermining that that's very bad and that no one ever wants to hear that. No one ever wants to see anyone that they love or likes do that or do anything to get canceled. I just don't think that's enough to end it.

Right. Well, the way he said it wasn't in like a mean way. He meant it as like, uh, like you're my friend. Yeah. So it wasn't like he was saying it in a negative way, but he still just shouldn't say it. It's 20, 21, dude, like, do you guys, uh, ever worried about getting canceled? No. I don't.

reason why is because, like, we keep it real. We're smart. You know, if we would have, like, gone a route on, like, in our YouTube career where we were, like, Goody Two Shoes and we were faking shit on, like, in the YouTube videos as, like, oh, we don't swear, we don't drink, we don't, you know, crack jokes like this and stuff like that, then we would probably already be canceled by now. Like, we'd be so exposed, but, like, we keep it real. Because then the behind the scenes is, like, this, you're almost, like, living.

this whole big lie if you aren't yeah yeah yeah i'm so glad that we just like kept it this way because like you just wouldn't you know like we can be out at a bar doing whatever and like if someone runs into it's like oh i mean i'm not surprised by that it seems about on on par for them you know like knelt they can't they can't be canceled i mean they can't but they can't they can't stop them same with like danny even though he's kind of like caught up in a controversy right now He is. I don't know how much of a controversy is caught up in, though. I think, like, the drama channels are trying to, like, come out on him and, like, make something of it.

Make something of it because nothing's ever really happening to him. I guarantee you, he's not going to respond. He won't even acknowledge it. It's a way to avoid being canceled. Right, yeah. It's almost like, I think Joe Rogan said it, like, if, like, they're trying to cancel and they come back at you, like, you do something wrong. And then you, like, oh, I'm sorry about it. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was wrong.

You're like, yeah, I know, I'm sorry. about and they're like yeah well what she just did was still wrong it's like if you just basically keep adding field of fire honestly so like really just like ignoring it and moving on they just drop it and then someone else does something next week and then they'd go on to them but it's just like if you keep playing into it it's gonna keep sticking around but anyways with like the danny thing apparently like the kid what's his name sunhack kid what's his real name i not that that matters like aaron or something i don't know but uh he was like in his videos and he was pretty big part of him and like

Like, Danny definitely, like, put him on. He's not really put on, though. Like, he's on YouTube pulling, like, 16,000 views. Like, that's not really being put on. But anyways, like, that's how people know him, though. I guess he, like, came out and had this whole thing where he was, like, saying Danny was, like, mean to him and, like, punching him. And I don't know.

He just said it would have to watch the video. I don't know if it's true. I don't really have anything to say on that. But, yeah, he's, like, the drama channels and some of his, subscribers are like coming after him i guess he lost like 30 000 subs in a day and he did well he's got what like it's a drop in the bucket for him yeah i mean he probably doesn't care i mean he probably does care but who knows that is interesting today's day and age you're so monitored like if it's if you're a shitty person you are going to get someone's going to do something on you exactly because

one especially if you put your life out on camera and your interactions with your friends on camera even if you're just like walking down the street or you're an asshole to you know someone might catch you on camera yeah it's like yeah if you were out at wherever i mean you're i mean or any of us we're not famous enough but or even famous at all but let's say if uh Logan paul was out at a restaurant and he was being a dick or being a fool which did you ever see that fight video of him and be like fucking punch the paparazzi like someone's gonna get it yeah you don't get away with that shit anymore whereas like maybe back in like the 90s you probably would have because people didn't have a phone on them that had a 4k camera

and always be recording snapchatting or instagram whatevering at all times i mean it can be a huge news story before you even get right yeah that's such a crazy thought like think of back in the 90s or what you know before phones and shit like would you someone asked me that would you rather have it be like that be like that right and they were like would and i was like Um, to be honest, that's a hard question because I like to do crazy shit. And no, I wouldn't. I love recording me and my friends. I love taking videos and pictures and making content.

I love it. And if it allowed me to do crazier stuff, just having no cameras and, like, having no worries and nobody talks shit or nobody say anything about you, I wouldn't. But, dude, it's like such a, you know, double-edged sword. I always thought being in, like, high school in, like, the 90s. like let's say like 96 through 99 or whatever like or maybe high school college i feel like that would have just been a great time like you didn't have cell phones and you didn't have like i don't know you just like didn't have to freaking always be texting someone or calling someone like you can just like have some peace and quiet but on the like you know the flip side of it like my whole life

like everything i do is because of these things you know like without youtube without the internet without, you know, I probably wouldn't be living, I wouldn't be probably as happy, I'd like to think, you know, like, I love this, doing this kind of stuff. But I agree, like, I feel like I would have liked that too. It seems like it would have just been a simpler, easier time. And, like, there was good music back then. I don't know. Yeah, we're obviously, obviously biased saying that, that we'd rather do this since it is our livelihood. And we really didn't live through the no cell phone time, really. Yeah. I don't know. I think it would have been nice. though. It could go either or, but you know, you would have a completely different life.

If you, if all of us grew up in the 90s, like in, if we were in high school age in the 90s, we would not be obviously YouTubers. No. Like, we would have been doing probably all the same shit that we were doing when we were high school age, but like, just you wouldn't have been filming it. I mean, if you were lucky, maybe we could have got on like MTV or something, but what are the odds of that? You know? Yeah, who knows we would have been like pioneering.

Like, I mean, my parents, when I was young, had a camcorder, you know? We would have been, I'm just picturing us, like, legit taping our shit. Dude. Well, that's what, like, Bamar Jarrah did. Yeah, true. Like, I mean, and, like, that's kind of how Jackass started. Granted, we are nothing like Jackass, but, like, they, you know, it started with, like, Bam Marjera.

He was filming his crew, and there was other people, obviously, doing the same thing. And they all kind of came together and started making episodes on MTV. which I'm turning into the movies. But they were just recording on, like, little handheld cams and shit. That is crazy. You know? I don't know. It just seems like it would have been a simpler time.

Like, yeah, I don't know. You guys don't agree with me on that? Yeah. Ken, I know you would have fucking hated it. Hated it? I guess Ken loves technology for different reasons, too. Like, every little piece of technology, and this is great, like, you know, like, how to hook it up and, like, use this new technology. to every little bit of its advantage like our freaking lights you go like Alexa lights off and

you don't have to stand up and shit like that but like but it's like I don't know how to run final cut nearly as well as you do well right but I'm saying like you know about like your test like you're always utilizing like the newest technology you're an early adopter like you're blinds yeah yeah you got blinds at open and clothes the lights turn on based like on the outside of the house you got remote every bit of technology to make your life easier. Yeah, might as well. Yeah, no, and that's great.

That's great. I just don't for some reason because I just don't take the time. Maybe I'm lazy, but not lazy enough to like take the step to make myself more lazy. Yeah, you're spending too much time. I don't care if I have to stand up to go turn the lights on, you know, like, who cares? But you're spending more time chopping down the tree than sharpening the axe. Yeah. Oh, man.

But on my defense, it is nice when the blinds open in the morning. Totally agree. And I'm awake by the time my alarm goes off. Right. Oh, that's awesome. I don't, I'm not kicking you for it. No, definitely not.

I don't even know how to like set that shit up. Buy it and there's instructions. Right. I don't even. It is incredible. But like you know that stuff is like even an option. I didn't even know they had blinds that did that. Man, what would, Ken,

what would you do if you didn't have technology? Sling appliances, bro. Be just fine. Yeah. I wouldn't know any different. It's like, it's like, you know, you're saying before cell phones and everything. You know, it's people didn't know anything different before that. And then all this new stuff comes out and then your society just advances and there becomes a new, like, standard for what everyone does.

Mm-hmm. I don't know. It just sounds to me like living in the 90s, early 2000s was a good time. That's just me. Yeah, that's what scares me is when you talk about this new standard. I mean, it doesn't scare me. me but like electric cars are rolling out from every brand like crazy Tesla obviously kind of pioneered that or did was Tesla the first fully electric car right I don't I don't even know

to do it well mass produced okay um but yeah every brand right now is coming and new brands are coming up with electric cars and like I don't know but I don't probably put something on I because someone told me that they're not doing Hellcats anymore and I shed a tear yeah 20 25 maybe Ken did I got a ball right and I was like I bought him all. Maybe I should buy a TRX. Dude, but Mike,

they're going to be putting the Hellcat motor with the trend that Dodge is on. They're going to probably have it in a minivan next. So I can see you mobbing that next. Mark my words. If Dodge puts a Hellcat in a minivan,

I will buy that. No. No. Has Weston done that yet? That I was going to speak the same sentence. Okay, you can buy it. Okay. Or race.

No, straight up. If, well, I mean, I'm like, no, you can have it. No, for real. If, if Dodge ever makes a Hellcat, minivan i will buy it all right sounds like they got two sales dude get that get working on it fair

enough dude that would be awesome like you think of like toting your kids around but also be able to like throw down 700 horse i'd rather just tote them around if i had kids which i don't want kids if i had if i would just do it in like a challenger hellcat that'd probably be a little cooler in the van no if you had five kids it'd be definitely cooler but i put them in the trunk you want to take the whole family with you. Just double stack. Put them in the trunk. Dude, when my dad was growing up, so my dad and my aunt, they would ride in, like,

the back part of the Corvette with my grandma and grandpa. So, like, you know how, like, I don't know if you ever been, like, the older Corvettes. It's kind of like glass or whatever. And you just can kind of, like, lay down there. So if you're like a kid, they just would put them back there. And, like, that was just how it was. Back in the day when... You didn't have to wear seatbelt and shit.

True. Back in the day when engines were in the front of Corvettes. Yeah. Good times. Oh, man. That'd be so funny if, like, CJ just legit didn't know any better. Yeah, well,

just hop in the trunk, Jimmy. Yeah. Well, I guess, hold on, going back to what I was saying about 2000,

this is the last thing I'm going to say. It was, it was, like, nice because it was simpler, but obviously now it's like, shit is way better. Like, there's way faster cars,

like, just way more, you know, things are better now, but also, like, there was something nice about simplicity, I feel like.

You know, like, you'd go outside and play with your friends. You weren't fucking just sitting there playing with your phone like every little kid has an iPad or a phone now we were talking about that when we were at breakfast

the other day. iPad kids. Like Evan and Nicky had Nicky's son there with him and he's just sitting there playing on his phone. He had a phone and he's like five. He's playing on his phone and I was just like he's playing all these games and he's showing Mike all these cool games he's got but I was just thinking to myself

what was I doing when I was here when I was that age and I was like they used to give you crans and like a little thing and you play. Right. And like color. He's so funny. They don't even have that anymore, I'm sure. They don't even bother. Why would you? Why would you?

Kids don't want that shit. They're like, I'm going to draw on my iPad. What the fuck is this? Or freaking... A cram? Yeah, or Minecraft on my iPad. Why would I want this? Get that out of here.

Oh, man. I love how they talk about that. iPad kids. Like, what is... What's going to happen to those kids, dude? Yeah, what is their attention span going to look like? Because I already know for a fact that my attention span has been... Dude.

You know, gone down because of my phone. I try not to look at it. at it but like it's hard and you get in such a habit and you start doing it without even knowing like think about those kids they're so used to being stimulated every freaking 15 seconds like there were some younger kids on the plane with us in front of us uh on the way to florida their parent had to buy them the Wi-Fi on the plane so they could watch ticot they had fucking a screen in front of all the bunch of movies and shit and i remember like them like what do you mean you got a screen right here and they're like i don't want to watch

that shit, you know. They didn't say shit, but I don't want to watch that. My parents would have told me no. Yeah, same, but. Well, that's why you turned out so good, Ken. But those kids, that's where you learn it from. Wi-Fi is like $30. Dude, it's only five now.

Oh, well, okay, so either way, but it's like, why did you need to fucking do that? Just so they can, and I'm not kidding. They fucking watch TikTok. The whole way through. And I was just like, God damn. And TikTok is all about just like quick and little, it's like gambling, dude. You don't know what you're going to get next. You're like, I should be done, but what's this next video?

And it's just like fucking pulling the slot machine. I've never thought about it like that. It's going to be interesting. It's going to be interesting what those kids end up like because they're so used to being stimulated. It's interesting or like every new popular app, the attention span has gotten from like, you know, YouTube was like 10 to 20 minutes. And then there's Instagram videos that were like a couple minutes. And now TikTok is like 30. seconds it's like how short can you get somebody's like little burst of dopamine which i mean

we're all like addicts to to some degree but obviously some people are worse yeah dude it's gonna be interesting it's gonna be really interesting it's even like it's even funny like to see uh like how like they're talking about like the metaverse i'm not gonna get too deep into that but they're like talking about you'll put on your VR virtual reality headset and you're gonna go into this whole other thing where you can be owning a car or driving something that you know you probably you definitely wouldn't be able to obtain in real life like what's that going to mean like you know what is that going to make real life it really reminds me of movies i've seen like there's this movie just seems like the wrong direction yeah it's just like they it's basically

like in ready player one they're they're like living in the slums and like it's basically a whole bunch of just huge skyscrapers and they're all all just scraping by enough in the real world so that they can live in the virtual reality. Which obviously everyone's kind of worried about, oh, is that what it's going to turn into? Who knows? But like, if it did, how sad would that be? Right. It makes you think because it's like, it's cool because you, with the virtual reality,

you get to experience driving Lamborghini and it's going to supposedly feel like you're fucking actually driving. a real Lambo and all this like you know the way they talk about it well what's that mean for real life then it's like you don't even strive to like try and buy a Lamborghini i mean that is like a car example but you know just with anything you know um yeah it's kind of interesting it'll be interesting time will tell yeah no more who even knows that shit will work will there be carons in the metaverse getting mad at us for riding our dirt bikes there's always a caron out there i don't know oh man yeah it's just freaking weird and also is weird because like remember when you're a kid and your mom or whoever the teacher would be like don't sit too close to the screen and now we're freaking just like gluing into our eyes

I know screen two inches it's an interesting thought as well granted obviously like TVs and screens are like much better now they're probably not as hard on your eyes but uh I was thinking about that when like when I got my new monitor it's like this wrapped monitor for when I edit videos and it's just sitting right here in front of my face and it's you know so much better but like whatever happened that shit it was like don't sit too close to the TV, and then all of a sudden it was like, we're getting TVs right here for you to wear on your goggles. And just because, like, analog TVs were literally shooting, like, radiation straight at it. That makes sense. That makes sense. They probably weren't as good. And the further you get away from it.

Yeah, shit, what do I know? That's just something I think about, and I was thinking about to myself the other week. But what do you guys think? Anything else you want to talk about? That was fun. That was literally all off the cuff. Yeah, that was, I had a great time.

Glad to be back. You know, we'll get some more guests on. Yeah, and I just want to keep doing these. We'll try to get back in the routine of it. Comment down below some, like, questions that you guys have because, like, this is a great spot to answer them. It's a lot easier to read, like, the podcast comments than even the YouTube.
