Starting point is 00:00:00 And we're back. Welcome back to the Life Wide Open podcast, guys. We're back, we're rolling, we're getting back into the swing of it every week. So if you haven't yet subscribed, we're trying to get 200,000 subscribers. We're at 1.30 right now. And we just started the podcast a little over a year ago to this day. And yesterday, I just remember CJ kind of chiming out in the shop. He goes, six years ago, this was yesterday, but six years ago, basically today, we made our channel.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Yep. They didn't have any videos on it yet. Wait, the podcast and the main channel both have the same birthday. The podcast wasn't on the same birthday, but it was around this. Very close. I mean, basically. Isn't that crazy though? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:38 So six years ago, how much has changed since then? It was funny because I got that notification on my, when I went to upload the video. And I was literally walking down the stairs. And I was like, I got that. And I was like, wow, that's crazy. I look up and I'm like walking past your Lambo. I'm like, looking around the shop. I'm like, man, dude, how much has changed?
Starting point is 00:00:56 I'll quite like literally. Go ahead. I was going to say, and I had literally the worst day yesterday. I was editing, and I was having the hardest time editing. And I was just literally like, what the fuck? Honestly, it would have been a good time to quit. It was miserable. I know.
Starting point is 00:01:11 I was like, I thought about it first time. I'm like, maybe I'm fucking losing it. And I was like, no, no. And I mean, the video came out and it's awesome. Everyone loves it. But yeah, dude, I had one of those days, what? Three videos ago for the helicopter drop video. The worst day ever.
Starting point is 00:01:28 And it's just like all, everything just hit you at once. And you're just like, what the fuck? You just can't get into the flow of anything. You got a deadline at 7 o'clock. If you miss it, people are mad around here. The fans are mad. Well, the problem is there's also a lot of variables. But yeah, it is crazy, though.
Starting point is 00:01:45 So anyways, it was inspiring, though, to me because I went home and I was like, man, six years ago today, I never go back in my camera all because I don't really take pictures, but I just don't like going and reliving, just, you know, the past. I'm not really about that. But I was like, I'm going to go back and look, because I remember, I wasn't sure if I had taken like screenshots of stuff for the channel when it was just bare bones. Yep. And I did, but I didn't know what I was really doing.
Starting point is 00:02:10 So I took some screen grabs. We can put them up on the screen. But I'll show you guys right here. I took a screen grab of when we posted our second video. So the giant slip and slide 15 hours ago, it had 116 views. And then Life of a Sea Boy, our very first video was posted two weeks ago at that point. And it had 853. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I literally distinctly remember for the slip and slide video of you. I think at the time you took out your phone. Maybe you didn't have your camera with you. Yeah, I didn't have a camera. I was just using an iPhone. You took your phone out. And I remember, like, we got, all of us had the same reaction anyone has when you film them when you're, like, not ready for it. And you were, you were just like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:02:52 This is, you were like, I'm vlogging. This is what we're doing now. So just get used to me filming. you it was an iPhone 6 yeah and it was all cracked and the battery was running out so I was I had a portable battery plugged in and I just had in my pocket and I was just filming everything then I ran out of space sudden like middle of it I'm deleting shit off my phone trying to make more space so I can keep filming yeah I remember that like quite literally like it was yesterday I have a screenshot or not screenshot a picture of the computer at courts plus where I used to work
Starting point is 00:03:23 where you're working where we had our we hit a thousand subscribers and I was working at course plus and I took a picture. What was the date of that? The date when we hit our first 1,000 subscribers was October 18th. Oh, wow. So 2016. Like three months later. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:38 So at the time, the Shifter Cart on the highway video was, we had posted three videos after that, but that video had 38,000 views. We thought it was viral. And we were thinking this is viral, 38,000 views, which is really nothing. For only having three videos on the channel, it was, and it was to us. I also, like, I've got to say. For anyone listening that we say what up to, if they say,
Starting point is 00:04:02 I've been watching since the Shifter Cart video or somehow before that, the Slipping Slider, but whatever. The Shifter Cart video, you are an OG. There's a lot. That's where I start to get skeptical
Starting point is 00:04:14 because it's like, everybody's like, oh, I've been watched since the first video. The Shifter Cart one, I'm like, hmm, man, it can't be that many of you guys. I'm sure met a lot of you guys. But I'm sure a lot of them are,
Starting point is 00:04:26 honestly, 38, let's say, let's say 50,000 views before the end of the year, maybe even more. So if like 20,000 of those were, we're like Midwestern, maybe because that's where YouTube was pushing it. I just love when they say that that was their first video or just, I love when people do remember their first video they watch. Get a load of this. So October 18th, 2016, we hit 1,000 subscribers. And then November 8th, 2016, we hit 10,000. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:53 So we were blowing up rather quickly just because, uh, that, that video. I mean, I don't want to say blowing up, but we were like this show and want to make your own.

Starting point is 00:05:27 need to make a podcast in one place download the free anchor app or go to anchor dot fm to get started we're gaining in size quickly at that time and at that point we were posting quite a bit because i mean we had posted three videos since then and then we hit 20,000 subscribers November 25th so we doubled again i remember those days like i i remember when it took off the shifter car video took off and we were all at dave shop and we would refresh the like live subscriber count and it would go up you know like a hundred yeah and we'd be like holy shit and i mean it was at the time you know the growth but i remember like us all sitting there refreshing refreshing refreshing and just watching it tick up that's pretty good like 10k in a matter of
Starting point is 00:06:13 that is yeah that's really good and then uh December 23rd we hit 30 000 uh January 18th we 40 i have like a bunch of i must have stopped at 40 anyways so i was like kind of reliving all these like old moments and stuff i haven't looked at them really ever i don't think but i thought it was cool because we had like now we have time stamps a little bit of uh to see what was happening when i think back to six years we've done so much stuff in six years and like the scale of it that it's not that long of a time but then when you think back to how many things that we've done it seems like a really long time ago just because we've packed so much in in that time so it's like if we continued on that same same just like busyness and like where are we going to be in six years
Starting point is 00:07:02 from now but not not just where we're going to be what are we going to do in between now and six years 100% it's crazy how fast it went by yeah it's just flowing by I was telling Alex that when you look look back on it the six years simply went like that dude it's been absolutely like almost to the point where I'm scared how like fast things are going now I know now we're getting older It was like, it was literally, it was Monday, like an hour ago. That's what I. It's Friday. A day or a week can go slow.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And then you look at the board and I remember like it was yesterday when we wrote down our month's plan. And I go, geez, we're almost done with our month's plan. Like what are we going to do next month? Right. Now we're back to it. It's just amazing how living like life always going. Yeah. I think it's the best way to live because you, you, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:54 I think it gives you the. most fulfillment and like happiness but get this guys so you guys know i don't like scrolling back and and looking at the past because it kind of reminds me or whatever and also i have really bad night terrors you guys know like i always have bad dreams of themes like this was a different type of night terror okay i didn't wake up screaming like he woke up looking through his camera roll no so i was looking at those pictures before i went to bed and i go to bed i woke up in the middle of the night like half awake half whatever and my room's all dark and i thought i was in my parents basement again in like 2016 2017 it was all the dream my heart sank and i was like so
Starting point is 00:08:38 fucking like i was like is this where am i and then i realized i was back in my room i was like oh thank god and then i went back to bed and did it again holy god that's that's how much fucking PTSD i have from that era of time like i i woke up like like like oh no it was at all a dream like the last six years i thought i was just back to where we were and i was just like no wow it's like when you're when your xbox gets corrupt or something and you're just about done with the video game i'd rather wake up screaming or like sleepwalking that was the worst that was probably the worst night tear i ever had that oh my gosh yeah that is i mean i have nothing compared that too but like when i've been waking up recently like almost
Starting point is 00:09:21 where you're about to doze off i for a second ago where am i again like just you know dead sober just like sleeping kind of like about to fall asleep and go oh yeah mostly because like i don't sleep i sleep all over the place but like i did that when i was staying in my bed the other night i go where am i again so you know you haven't slept in your bed in a long time but dude that's crazy like what talk about like a niche like a terror to have yeah you know yeah i thought i was back to like a back in time to a harder time in your life where you weren't necessarily happy. Yeah, it was terrible.
Starting point is 00:09:58 It's weird. Especially that happened two times, dude. And I kind of had to like, okay, never mind. I know where I'm at now. I had a dream last night. It wasn't a night tear, but it was a really good dream. I had a- I had a dream that I walked into the garage and Ryan's Camaro wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:10:19 And I go, what happened near Camaro? And he goes, I sold it. I go, before we could finish the tires off, why would you do such a thing? There was still a good tread left, Ryan. And he was like, yeah, I sold it. It was just time to go down the road. And I was like, mad. I was like, dude, what?
Starting point is 00:10:36 Why would you do that? And then you guys all come out and you're like, I sold it because I bought you a Rolex. And I'm like, what? What? And you pull out the shittiest watch I've ever seen in my entire life. The cheapest roly. It's like one that you would wear. like around your elbow and like it like like comes down doesn't look cool there's no face on it
Starting point is 00:10:59 it's just basically like a band and i'm like this isn't a fucking rolex and you're like yeah it is and i'm like well then you got screwed man oh you didn't even try to play it off like you were happy or like you wouldn't even try to be nice like mark when we gave him the card where he's like oh thanks no i think maybe i was but then i was like this i don't this isn't this isn't a watch right and i don't know what you what you sold your car to buy me it's like some like lingerie looking thing that's just like on my wrist and I'm like what do we get going on here Ryan and you're like dude I sold my car the least you could be is happy geez dude I think you're on to something there with the elbow watch no it wasn't even an forearm forearm watch yeah
Starting point is 00:11:40 basically that but it had no watch on it was no face it was just like a stylish piece weird weird man I love those memes it's like dreams are so important or something like that and it goes like my dreams And then it's like you riding a TRX, like dinosaur. A T-R-X, thank you. I literally can't get that up. You're riding a dinosaur through like a bowling alley or something like that. Bro, it's crazy what your brain will make dreams of. I've got good news.
Starting point is 00:12:10 My jet ski's done. No kidding. I got a picture in my camera roll. One year ago today, I took the motor apart. It has been dead for over a year. Over a year, yeah. And it is finally done. And I'm just waiting for the shipping guy to pick it back up.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Where is it in Australia right now? No, Chicago. Pretty much same thing, no. So, yeah. Ryan Jetsky's traveled the world. It left me at home to pay for it, dude. I feel like a dad who sent his daughter out freaking to study abroad. Are you excited to get it back to knowing that you have to finish your task?
Starting point is 00:12:42 Well, I'm excited to actually backflip it now because I feel like that. It's really been holding over me, but I'm not excited to. to possibly not do it right again and break it again and break it again all again the whole process starts over that makes me happy to hear it don't feel like you have to I wouldn't it makes me happy to hear that you're excited for the backflip but not excited to break it because I mean like a lot of people were like he's going to backflip it right and I'm like I think he I was telling people that I'm like I think he's ready Mike's been out yeah he's going to backflip of course right well it was like but you know it actually has been very very anticipated it has
Starting point is 00:13:20 I know people. And then people were even on the same page. They're like, oh, but he's more worried about like just breaking it the same way he broke it last time. I'm like, yeah. Yeah. Would you not be? Yeah. You fucking fall of a horse and break your leg.
Starting point is 00:13:31 That's where you're probably nervous about getting back on the horse. But you've got to get back on the horse, dude. That's true. It's the attitude. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio. Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Fresh excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. Mike's been the stuntman lately. I wanted to talk about this. Since when did you just become good at everything, Mike? It was literally since the razor jump. Like, I mean, before that, I like to soak up. Yeah, I like to indulge myself in everything. I was literally just thinking about this going to bed last night.
Starting point is 00:14:11 You're good at everything now. Wow, why did it take me till I'm 27 to become the true sponge that I wanted to be? That's what I freaking said on the phone. I said Mike's like a fine wine. He's just getting better with age. Right, because, like, when I was younger, I could, like, skate and bike, and that's, I mean, like, about it, you know, I was like, that's, I didn't have a ton of talents, but I love doing everything. And now that I have the opportunity to do it, I'm like, well, might as well, you've hit it head on and I don't know. You've been doing, like, everything.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Your highlight reel has become legendary, I would say, within recently. It was actually, since I got the mullet. No, I don't know. But I was thinking that because it's like, we've been. been doing this for so long and then all of a sudden you're just like i'm going to do crazy stuff now and like i'm not worried about anything like you don't hesitate for a second at pretty much anything it's so weird because there's so many instances where if you're not confident you just you don't jump to it but then when you are confident i'm literally like well just let me know if you guys want me to do it
Starting point is 00:15:08 not even like uh if you guys are too pussy it used to be mike mike my Anybody else does any Seriously can anybody do it Mike's like I'll do it No no no no And it's been really fun going back and forth with Evan Because Evan has stuntman qualities as well But he's like so fearless when it comes to certain things
Starting point is 00:15:29 And so scared when it comes to others Like so there's that But that's been fun I'll definitely still leave the backflip up to Ryan But who knows like I'm Mike might have to come through with his superhero case Just does the first try. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:15:44 Here's what I don't want to happen is like Ryan fail and then you guys push me into it and then like I get it first try. Like that wouldn't be fun. If you... What? That would not be fun for you. He'd hate to, you know, show him right.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Stay humble, you cocky shit. Jesus, I just hate to show Ryan up on his own jet ski. That being said though, like, first try. I genuinely like don't know if I could do it. The only thing embarrassing that could happen on that is I spent a lot of money on my jet ski two-do backflips and you come out on your $1,200 old jet ski
Starting point is 00:16:16 and then you rip a backflip. Not a chance. That thing gets upside down. No, that is, like, if your jet ski broke and then I did it on my 89, that would be worst-case scenario. That would be the fucking funny. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:16:30 That'd be the best case scenario. You know how funny that video would be? Dude, when if we set it up with the two boats again where it makes like the inner bowl wave? Unless maybe not. Ryan would send that shit to orbit, dude. The whole thing is that you could hit it really slow. Like you could literally come in and right when you dip down into it.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Dude, I've done mods. Well, I haven't done the mods. Buddy's done the mods, but Buddy's done mods. Yeah, you've got a mod jet skiing out. Aftermarket ECU in it. ECU impeller, tune. There's stuff on the inside that's different. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:17:03 You better just keep this thing, dude. Maybe. We'll see if I actually like it. We'll see how long it runs for once we get it back. It's like the mod stank. We all knew that I was going to break And I think there was like Some hesitation to like
Starting point is 00:17:16 Do we really want to break it again The problem is And I've said this many times Like tiny in the Mustang Aren't quality builds They were just like a garage build To that works They move
Starting point is 00:17:30 And it's kind of cool to look at It's funny It's like ha ha lifted Mustang But it's not an actual Capable machine Right I mean prior to It just looks capable
Starting point is 00:17:41 Yeah It looks more capable than it is. Like, I mean, prior to us getting it fixed up last time, it had blown out shocks. It was running on one cylinder in the motor. Like, you know, it really wasn't like this vehicle made to just rip. And, you know, it's just something cool to run it down the road to the local car show and drive it back or whatever.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah, that's the problem with us making YouTube videos on it and like your average person. So the person who built it or the group of buddies, They're probably like, dude, we put a Chevy Avio on it. It's so funny. And they just drive it around their property and they're stoked. And I mean, we got to take it up a notch. We got to always take it up a notch for YouTube for entertainment purposes. And it's like they just cannot.
Starting point is 00:18:26 They can't do it. None of our thing. Dude, every single vehicle that we've had in the last like six months has broke. And we show it on camera breaking, but off camera, we're like, dude, we're so over this shit. Every single time we go to start something or. move something for like video purposes never works i think it comes down to but especially you're using something tiny and something we're doing something with it that is not really supposed to be doing that's going to happen like realistically the dirt bikes they all work great yeah it's
Starting point is 00:18:56 mostly just like when you combine them yeah it's the hack job facebook marketplace that's literally only it but it's it's only facebook marketplace hack job items going back to my sheer impulse buying Snowmobile quad Oh, there's somebody else interested I'll pay $100 more And I want it right now No questions asked But it was fun
Starting point is 00:19:19 It was worth it. It ended up being an awesome video Yeah, it was an awesome video It just didn't live as long as we wanted to Exactly And the thing that a lot of people didn't see in the video Was we showed up not working Probably like three times
Starting point is 00:19:31 It didn't work like 17 times So when we finally got it going We're like screw this thing We're jumping into the pond before it doesn't work and we just have to go all right guys see you next week and it would have been lame yeah we were doing all these little fixes and i i hate it because then people go they don't know it was perfect it's really hard to like really show the full story so it all to getting boring exactly so then they watch it from home they go wow you know i feel bad because
Starting point is 00:19:57 i don't i can't even afford anything all i want is something to ride and then you guys just break these things just for no reason it's like it was so broken you couldn't have actually wrote it but i would say a majority of the people are uh usually pretty stoked yeah no it was it was it's exactly it's for entertainment there's also this threshold of amount spent on these vehicles where it's just not worth us selling after we're done making these videos so it yeah one might be a piece of shit and whoever gets it is going to have the same problems as us two it's a pain in the ass to sell stuff around here because 90% of the people that don't inquire about it are just like hey do you still have that yes cool man was just seeing if you'd respond bro so it's impossible fuck out of here and also
Starting point is 00:20:43 most people don't want a son or be a quad no exactly if you ask the guy that we bought it from it was very sought after it was going to sell it was going to sell uh the next day if we didn't pay that one we fell for that one but you have a great point there the threshold of okay well we don't want someone to go through the same we clearly want to make money back on it like not make money but like get money back on it if we sell it but we don't want to screw someone over so maybe we would sell it for super low but then there's a certain number that at low enough would you sell it well we could just destroy it among many things and then make that money back on youtube it's a wild beautiful thing and have more fun and have more entertainment and that is the cold hard truth of us destroying some of these
Starting point is 00:21:24 vehicles yeah and i don't think most people care it's just the ones that do are the loudest in you know but i don't think most people care because at the end of the day it's like nothing really matters and it's all just for, like, entertainment purposes. You're right. Nothing matters. It's true, though. Nothing really does matter. It really doesn't.
Starting point is 00:21:45 No, I mean, if you look at life that way, it's definitely a lot lighter. Everyone's going to just end up in the dirt anyways. Jesus. Yeah, yeah, I mean, that is true, I guess. I'm going to be cremated. What do you want to, you want to be, like, sprinkled off of the mountaintop at pack saddle?
Starting point is 00:22:02 Yeah, sure. Yeah, like, I want to. Yeah, he makes somewhere. lug that all the way up. Here's the funny thing. I'm not bringing you up there. I'm going before. I'm going with.
Starting point is 00:22:11 I'm not trying to like make like my kids or someone like actually. Okay. I want a little bit of the ashes on the top of pack saddle. I want a little bit of ashes in the ocean in San Diego. I want a little. You don't need to do that. Just go dump it all somewhere. Mike hypes up his kids that he's got,
Starting point is 00:22:27 they've got this big trust fund coming, right? All they have to do is spread his asses. where he wants and he gives him just the most extreme places down to coordinates he's got like 46 degrees all over the country like they're going on this like Indiana Jones type adventure and they get back and they sit down with the guy that does he goes he left you six shitty dirt bikes and a Subaru and like all this and they go what about the money what about the fortune the daddy always told us about oh there was no fortune no that was the fortune no that was the fortune However, that would be shitty of me to do.
Starting point is 00:23:07 But if I did have a bunch of money and I did send, how legendary would that be? Put a lawyer in charge of it or, you know, a homie that is able to do that. And they come back, verify it all. And they don't get, I mean, not some crazy amount of money. But some gold at the end of the rainbow for completing the ash spreading across the country. There's fucking nothing.
Starting point is 00:23:27 And Mike's just like, what do you mean? It wasn't even that hard. I did it. I did it. It took me my whole life, but I did it. Dude, my grandpa loves to send. people on like these wild both of our grandpa's grandpa dave loves to send for like gift giving oh yeah and do like a scavenger type hunt thing of like figuring out next information this is a funny
Starting point is 00:23:47 sorry right so for my mom's like 50th birthday or something like that um told my mom like all right i got a good one for you so it's a scavenger hunt yeah but just like with like word information and then she has to like come up with it and send like all right is it this And they'll say yes or no or like hotter or colder. Anyway. Okay. I mean, he's super into stocks and like he's like done very well for himself, right?
Starting point is 00:24:13 So big 50. My mom thought, hey, I'm the only daughter, you know, might be getting something like something big from my dad, right? He hyped it up for like a while, right? It's a good, it's worth your time. He's sending her like clues and she's like. What are the clues? Oh, it's going to be a car or they're going to make a car.
Starting point is 00:24:35 So she's like, holy shit, does she buy me a car or something like that? She's dropping things. She's losing sleep, thinking about all this. Yeah, is it a Tesla car? No, no. But they do technology. She's like, oh, my, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Wait, so she had to just guess what he was getting? He had to just guess. She was going raw? Yeah. Oh, fuck. Finally, she just guesses, is it one Apple stock? And he goes, it's two. Hiped it up to two Apple stock.
Starting point is 00:25:04 How much do you? 200 bucks like 200 bucks gives her two apple stock and like took like two weeks out of her time yeah i thought it was funny because she like spent two weeks like working for this what yeah that was it that was it jeez dude i feel this blue ball's your mom i was like waiting for this big adventurer dude him and something cool it's apple stock dude him him and jake should plan a surprise together dude i think like people hate surprises more than they're like stoked for them if they could drug out too long. I agree.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I agree. Because they're just stressful and people don't like to be like stressed and like let on. You don't want to think about it. Yeah. You don't have to go back your life. And also I think the biggest thing about a surprise is it's a, it's a buildup. Same with a hype up. You hype up.
Starting point is 00:25:51 If I hyped up tonight, I'd like to have a bonfire night. I go, guys, tonight is going to be the craziest bonfire of our lives. We're going to go on the boat and do all this stuff. You guys are like, yes, it's going to be great. Yes. And then you have expectations. Yep. But if I just go, yo, guys, bonfire.
Starting point is 00:26:05 night come on over and then we might have a legendary time who knows then it's awesome the hype up is the biggest detriment to whatever you do you can do something super sick but if you hyped it up more than it was it's a letdown it's not worth hyping up anything really there's something to be said about both surprises and hype ups like i've always said if you're trying to hype up your um new year's eve obviously lots of people do lots of fun things for your new year's eve sometimes people even travel really far for it whatever's a letdown yeah you if you hype it up and say this is going to be the craziest ringing in the new year ever don't just go have a good time with the people you love and you'll have a way better time usually if you hype them up for too much
Starting point is 00:26:45 and too long not it it blows it unless it's it's got to be freaking there you better be on the money you know what else too is if you want people guessing like all right guess what it is and then they guess you imagine they guess something better and the whole thing's just fricked after that so more of the story is almost just don't even hype your surprises at all just say you have a surprise and that's it under a promise over deliver exactly it's a very important yeah okay so uh two podcasts ago we filmed this entire thing and then it was all deleted or there was no audio so it was kind of just lost yeah well anyway during that podcast i went on like a 20 minute rant about my sheer hatred for snapchat influencers oh yeah i was pretty heated about
Starting point is 00:27:31 it. I still am, but last night, I clicked on a Snapchat influencer's story and started watching it, expecting to be disappointed like I always am, because these Snapchaters will put up like 500 stories in a day, right, about nothing. And this chick was like, yeah, my car got stolen. The person that stole it had it for two weeks and i just found out because i went to go get my car out of like the parking ramp and it was gone so then i had to track it down right and um so i'm like oh shit that kind of sounds interesting long story short she ends up tracking her car down out of impound there was like guns and like heroin in like the back seat of everything and um this person was living out of the car it was portland of course of course uh living out of the car for like
Starting point is 00:28:26 two weeks ended up getting arrested but left their phones in So then this chick is like like Snapchating all of this like showing like the whole process of like getting it back like everything in like the back finding the phones. I mean like all right let's try and get into these phones. And it was like one of the Android so you had to like use like the pattern. Guess is the pattern to get in. You can see the greasy fingerprints. Oh yeah. That too.
Starting point is 00:28:50 And gets into the phone post on their Facebook page like like just basically exposing them and like saying like what they've been up to and everything. and then shows the whole process of like going to the police and the police are like, yeah, we like aren't going to help you with anything. And she's like, I'm going to take these matters into my own hands and like just filming this whole thing. And I was actually very just intrigued and like entertained by the whole thing. And right before the end, I was like, you know what? Snapchat influencers aren't that bad.
Starting point is 00:29:22 And then the last two slides, the last two slides was, hey, thanks for asking how I get my teeth. so white Christine, I actually use this. Whichever Satchad influencer always plugs like the... Paid plug. Like the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, yeah, the, whatever it's going to appear. Yeah, I don't, I don't even want to give them a plug. You got to make your bread and butter, though.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Yeah, I know. And I, I just go, oh my gosh. Of course, of course. And then the last slide was like, so anyway, tomorrow I'm going to be going to the grocery store. I think I'm going to try and sell my couch and I'm like, God damn it. They suck again. They suck again.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Yeah, she just got lucky as far as that whole story unfolding. That's a great job document. But Snapchat influencers do suck literal ass. Andy Milanooga said it. Respect the content. Or sorry. Respect the hustle. Do not respect the content.
Starting point is 00:30:12 And that can apply to most Snapchat influencers. Half of them are like clickbaiting. Half of them put a story of like Addison Ray at the very end. So you click on it. But it's really just some homie posting like. Addison Ray's kind of like stock is kind of going down. Maybe she just made her bag. She's public?
Starting point is 00:30:28 No. But I mean, why do you say that? I don't know. She used to be, like, such a big deal. She's not as talked about as much anymore, I would say. She's kind of taking a step, it seems like, out of the limelay. Obviously, still incredibly famous, but would you guys not agree? You don't really see or hear much about her anymore.
Starting point is 00:30:47 No one really cares as much. I'd agree. Back when Addison Ray was just starting out on, like, TikTok, like, maybe had like a couple hundred, 100,000 followers or something. like that like barely anything on instagram i remember telling ryan because ryan was single i go dude hit this chick up i guarantee she's going to be a big deal and maybe maybe you could get in early and uh might work to your advantage well he didn't he slept on it and now she's what one of like 30 million followers and and it was a guarantee superstar yeah it was a guarantee i told
Starting point is 00:31:21 dude i was perfect i told you got dona now so exactly no it was before any of that yeah right I told Ken the same thing with Cardi B. Ken and Cardi B are dating. She's live on Instagram. Hey, y'all, you bitches. Bro. In the, like, Tesla driving, like. I didn't actually, but that's super funny.
Starting point is 00:31:44 I remember following her on Twitter. I just fucking Ken did it and Cardi B. I would love it, dude. There's just no way. I can't even picture it. Just picture it now. It would be a great combination. Ken's quiet.
Starting point is 00:31:56 She's loud. she's like clearly now one of the biggest like female rappers out there along with Nikki Minaj but Nikki Minaj has been up there for a while
Starting point is 00:32:06 right behind Lizzo yeah Lizzo's up there too um what's funny about that I remember following Cardi B on Twitter before she made any music she was just simply a stripper trying to hustle so she'd make you were following her
Starting point is 00:32:21 wait what you were just following a random stripper I mean I guess I was following her way back She was just a stripper She wasn't a random stripper She didn't even make music She was definitely big on Twitter
Starting point is 00:32:35 But she would just get on and just rant I'm like this chick is so weird But everyone loved it right And this is before she made a single song And then she's like I'm gonna stop making music And then little did anyone know Like she was gonna be that
Starting point is 00:32:48 She was destined for success and fame Yeah Wow Mike that's actually pretty crazy Like it's the one It's literally like the one person I followed before they made That's your success. Oh, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I thought you met you followed one person on Twitter and he was car TV. Just her. Just this random stripper. Yeah, dude, I actually used to watch Drake on TV when he was still in a wheelchair. So. I remember that too. On Degrassi. Which that's not quite nearly as cool, but it pretty crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Yeah, like, it's just crazy to think that he was just a character in a random, like, teen soap opera almost or whatever they're called. And now he's where he is. Yeah, it really is wild. what a superstar he has turned into from that spot from that from that character of all characters too and it was the same vibe when he started making music i was like yeah he's good he's gonna make some good music to them where he is now dude drake is on so many uh features or he hops on so many different tracks and they they all pop off like it's amazing he can work with he'll work with pretty much anybody and they're always seemed to be really good and i was thinking about that this morning
Starting point is 00:33:56 obviously there's like a rate you have to pay and drake has got to have the highest rate but i bet you anything he doesn't charge that high of a rate because he's just had a point where he doesn't need any more money and this is a legendary type of move he's like i'm trying to i'm doing this for the books i want to be on this many hit songs i don't care about the money and i bet you he's just like because i always hear that it's super easy to work with right and he's if the song's good he's he's about he's on it he seems like one of those Those guys, I mean, it's like collabing in YouTube or like featuring on songs. He's one of the guys that you get a feature on and it's actually does better for you.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Yeah, 100%. It sounds like it's pretty easy though to like have another, nowadays have another person hop on your track because they just will send the song over and they're like, yeah, let me see what I can do. And then they just hop on it and it sounds like they sometimes crank it out in like a couple hours and then just send it back. And that's just it. And then it gets put on iTunes and whatever and it blow. up usually if they're big i'm sure they have their own studio uh drake charges a million dollars to feature on a song whoa wow that's probably highly underpriced undervalued for what it does to them yeah because i heard logic talking about like hopping on hit singles will pocket you like 20 million
Starting point is 00:35:13 whoa that's what he said hopping on hit singles will pocket you 20 million like on a collab and stuff that is insane hopping on them or having i think maybe hopping on or collabing with someone on one we'll put money in the bank like that. Dude, where is the money in music right now? That's a good question. How are they getting paid? Because they're not buying the songs like they used to. Like how are they getting paid that much money?
Starting point is 00:35:38 Like is Spotify pay them? $7.99 a month is getting split up. So you got to keep in mind, Spotify's paying them a little bit. YouTube's paying them a little bit. Believe it or not, SoundCloud probably is paying them a little bit. Apple Music is playing them a little bit. Whatever record company that they're their label. but still it doesn't seem to add up a lot of these guys too
Starting point is 00:35:59 they start their own label it's just like they don't want to be paying the cut and they get big enough so they start their own label and then sign under or up-and-coming rappers and then they take a cut of their shit and it's just crazy world out there uh j cole charges $2,000 per word really wow wow so i guess it's an interesting way to however long of a verse but that look up little baby we see what he's 300,000 oh wow So maybe Drake isn't undervalued, but at the same time, it seems like they always pop off. If they're charging like a million dollars to get featured on a song, that's just straight up being paid by the record label. Like the record label will pay Drake a million dollars to have them feature on their artist's song.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I did hear the song. I actually sent it to Justin because it was so bad. It was on my new music Friday. Which is ass. It was so bad. New music Friday fucking sucks. What are you using? Spotify.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Awful. Awful. Anyway. Yeah. So I see Spotify. Mm. Okay. So I, uh, I see it and it's like so and so featuring Wiz Khalifa.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I'm like, I like Wiz Khalifa. Let's check it out. And I clicked on it and it legitimately sounded like right here. We just went, Ben, just make up a rap quick. Yeah. I don't know how they, how much they had to pay Wisgleaf to be on this. Or he must have had a bad gambling debt or something that he needed the money because it was, awful I mean like
Starting point is 00:37:27 awful and I go how does he even like a proof to be on it it's like you gotta wonder I'm so curious though I want to hear it I know and I think we we could actually play it because we are reviewing or reacting to the thing I don't believe there's copyright and it'll only
Starting point is 00:37:44 take a few seconds yeah it's not worth it they're still going to like that shit oh he also has a collab with Rick Ross Rick Rouse this is him his name is Janabdae Hustlin featuring WISKLifa. I like the name of it.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Off to a good start. It sounds like a song that I'd have to sift through on Epidemic for non-copyrighted. It's using our songs in our videos. Yeah. It kind of does. He's got collabs with WISKLifa, The Game, Rick Ross. Like, how do you pay for it, dude? He's probably on a good record label.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Or he's got rich parents. This kid looks like he has rich parents, does he not? Oh, my gosh. To a T. He's a trust fund kid. He's got the fucking go. That's what Mike is going to be. We're going to have to get Mike in a button up, collared shirt.
Starting point is 00:38:35 But, yeah, get him out of this tiger shit he's winning. Not to get on the trust fund stuff, but I could have been a trust fund baby. So it was my great, great, great uncle. He was many uncles out, but his name was Ub, IWorks. Ubb IWorks and Walt Disney started Disney together. They were best friends in their early 20s, started it in South Dakota, and they moved to California and Ubb drew all of the first cartoons for Disney. Created was like, created Mickey Mouse, created Steamboat Willie,
Starting point is 00:39:11 created like a lot of fundamentals of how animation works today. What? Yeah. I don't know how you don't know this yet. I'm surprised. I've had Randy's told me about it. So anyway, he and Walt Disney literally created Disney company and it used to be like IWorks Disney and then it was Disney Iworks and like it always changed.
Starting point is 00:39:33 But Walt was the businessman, Ub was the artist. And they grew it up and eventually later in the years, Ub thought he was making or doing more. Disney obviously thought he was doing more. And so Ub split from Disney, sold his entire shares of Disney for a ton of money. for a ton of money back then, but all of it. And then started IWorks Entertainment. And actually the Fargo Theater in Fargo, not the downtown one, but another one, wasn't IWorks Theater.
Starting point is 00:40:01 IWorks Entertainment is still going. But he and Walt got in a fight and he split from Disney. You know what, though? No offense, Ub, but if Ub would have stayed on, I bet Disney wouldn't have been what Disney, you know, like everything happens for a reason or like things, you know. Yeah, you never really. really know if he was holding back. So if he would have stayed on, if it would have turned into like
Starting point is 00:40:25 the massive, massive monopoly that it is. I don't know if I'd say monopoly. That's actually a pretty good point. I wasn't thinking that all. I was just thinking, damn. He could have been with him. I could have been. You know, but think about it. If Disney would have never, you know, blossomed into the thing that it is, the conglomerate that it is, you know, how much would that affected every other entertainment industry? We might not be sitting here right. not having this conversation if ub wouldn't have left probably not because probably he wouldn't have had the kids that he did and all the stuff the family tree wouldn't have been the same you might not actually be here i know but if i was here dude i would have been so rich
Starting point is 00:41:03 dude i would have had that disney money i'd be sitting on a brand new boat floating around in the lake yeah in freaking abiza would have been a yacht he wouldn't be here he'd be somewhere have you have you guys ever been to disney world yeah haven't well whatever one's in florida Yeah, I've been there. Dude, they've just done, like, such an insane job at, like, making all this content, right? But that just is all just a funnel into, like, the upper brand of Disney because they have so much stuff. Like, for these kids, they get, like, my nieces love Disney movies, right? Well, then they go to Disney World.
Starting point is 00:41:41 When they go to Disney World, they stay in a Disney resort. And then they go to the actual Disney World. Then they eat at Disney restaurants. They buy the Disney products. Disney products. They go on the Disney Cruises. Yeah, it's truly insane. Just like the...
Starting point is 00:41:57 That's why when you were like, maybe I wouldn't call them a monopoly. I'm not saying that you were wrong for pulling that back. They're such a monopoly. And now that they own... I didn't realize they own Pixar. They just bought Star Wars. So that's Lucas.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I didn't know that they own Marvel. That's pretty much half of media today in a sense. As far as movies go. It is pretty fascinating. and if you look at the history of Disney too and like you look at the old pictures of Disney World being built and there's like so many little like
Starting point is 00:42:24 Easter eggs or just hidden things I'm pretty sure there's like an underground Yeah the entire park has a A labyrinth underground So like characters when they're done They go underground and never have to be seen Like a character when it's not performing You know because they have people everywhere
Starting point is 00:42:41 Never walks back to a thing They go in a castle or a building Go underground and then then they can take their stuff off. I mean, but think about the geniusness that was put for it to build something like that. They're actually still not to the level that Walt imagined when he was like way back in the 50s. Like Walt imagined it to be crazier than it is today and they're still working on that plan to make a cooler. But they've invented colors that people that the human eye doesn't pick up so they can hide big buildings.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Yeah. You don't see. There's a certain color. It's called that Go Away. green but they did a big study and they figured out that there was a certain color that the human eye didn't notice if you like put it in a room of stuff that green just blended in everything else and so they paint everything you don't they don't want you to see that color like giant building stuff like that you can look at a picture you don't even notice the building unless they
Starting point is 00:43:37 like point an arrow to it and it's not like a giant optic yeah it's not invisible but it just your eye doesn't look at it your eye doesn't go to it how big is disney world team You look up like... 500 acres. I thought they had like their own zip code. Their own government. They're their own government. I've been...
Starting point is 00:43:57 They own so much land. They created a deal with the state of Florida. They're their own government there. What? Right. Which, so they have to own more than 500 acres. 500 acres isn't that much. But the way I've been looking recently, like Disney...
Starting point is 00:44:12 Disney World is 27,000 acres. Okay. Holy. They definitely, just Disney everything. They've been done. definitely acting like they're their own government. How many square miles is that? 39 square miles.
Starting point is 00:44:24 They're so big that they're able to, like, hide things from us. They're able to steer us in a certain direction. They're able to, I don't know, like, it feels slightly like a government. Just because it's so big. What do you mean, hide things from us? Like paint them green? Yeah, stuff like that and, like, the underground stuff. But they're able to, like, if they don't want you to see something within the company,
Starting point is 00:44:46 they have the power to do that. I'm sure a lot of companies do, but, like, they have just such an influence on such a large amount of people. I feel like there's some sketchy shit that goes on. It's too big of a company not to be wildly corrupt. So big that it reminds me of the government, because I think the government's like that, too. Just corrupt, hiding things from you because they can because they need to because they think they need to. I mean, they probably do. I think to a point, if all the information was just public, that would probably drive people more insane.
Starting point is 00:45:18 You know, same thing with Disney. If all their information was public, probably would drive parents away from letting their kids watch a Disney movie. 100%. That's pretty damn hard to do, though. Well, dude, talk about Disney stars when they grow up. Most of them turn out pretty shitty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:33 But they've been better lately. Some of them. It is crazy to think about all, like, the shows that we used to watch when we were kids where all those stars are now. It seems like oftentimes they don't continue to grow. after their youth. Like, they don't go into movies. I think a lot of them do.
Starting point is 00:45:53 I mean, think about Zendaya. Zendaya is obviously a superstar. Salina Gomez. But there's a lot of them. Col Spouse from, like, Sweet Life is that? What are they doing? Like Riverdale and like a bunch of different shows. My big thing is, so there is that.
Starting point is 00:46:08 There's plenty of them that come out of there. I think Cole Spouse, one of the twins went in is just like a barista. Yeah. But then the other one carried on. Yeah, but that's his only thing he's in. is that show and before that he really had nothing else you didn't hear about him for a long time huge I know he's huge
Starting point is 00:46:23 but I don't know he's huge but I don't end up being as big dude the thing that blows my mind about kids that were in Disney shows like actually this blows my mind just a shitload of them can just sing they can sing well that to me it blows my mind like was Ariana Grande that was Nickelodeon I don't know
Starting point is 00:46:41 but like and I'm not a huge huge huge fan of her but love her music and she is extremely talented, but she started off as this ditsy, like, Disney Channel actor. Same for Selena Gomez, like, Demi, Cyrus. Miley Cyrus. Like, they're, like, massive singers. And obviously, they're not going to be massive singers when they're on Disney Channel.
Starting point is 00:47:01 All I'm saying is, how on earth do they, do they, like, take, like, voice lessons while they're on Disney Channel? Dude, they go through, like, a whole thing. Because when Disney picks you up, they probably take a lot of your cut for, like, the rest of your life. But they groom you. Like, they see, I'm going through the list. Britney Spears, Nick, Jonas, Justin Timberlake, Christine Aguilera.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Right. So they train you. They get you at eight years old and they go, all right, this girl's got it. And they send them to acting lessons, singing lessons, everything. And then raise them for 18 years to be superstars. Because I just, it blew my mind over and over and over how these girls and guys are coming out of there as like class A singers. I'm just like, well, that's ironic. Another one.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Another one, the Jonas brothers. Yeah. I'm sure it's part of the audition. That makes total sense, though. Yeah, you got to be, but that makes total sense where they just like, they almost like take your life over
Starting point is 00:47:54 and make you a star. I retract my statement that they don't end up. I was totally proven wrong there. A lot of them. There was like a time when it seemed like every child star would just get into trouble.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Like Lindsay Lohan. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like there's a number. I mean, yeah, you could go. Obviously, you give a young kid a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:48:13 When she got in trouble, she was like Lindsay Lohan when she got in trouble was way older. Like, she did a bunch of good stuff. What she's up to nowadays? Dude, I don't know. You know what, though?
Starting point is 00:48:24 It's the people that really exploded and got big, they were a part of like our generation of watching them when they were young. And then right at the time that we kind of transitioned over like watching less TV and more like internet entertainment and listening to music more and kind of like becoming your own person and like just growing up. so did they they transition into a different you know talent they start singing and then everyone that watched them is also transitioning at that same time so then that's why they blow up because they already know them they're familiar with them because dude it's kind of the same thing
Starting point is 00:49:04 now i think with like YouTubers like thinking about like Logan Paul KSI like these these guys that used to just be strictly YouTubers that are going into other realms everyone is growing up with them and they're changing with them and that's when it's like so much easier to just go into a different avenue when your fan base is growing up as well but it's like if you are you know 40 years old make you're 30 years old making like strictly kid content you shot yourself in the foot you kind of already missed that wave right but for us like our demo has like always kind of been the same age as us yeah we change but our our audience changed just with us.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Yeah. So it's like the ones that do that do that really well and like explode and the ones that don't do that just kind of like fall off. You got to wonder what's going to happen with all these little kid YouTubers where they, they're not even like a freaking YouTuber. They're family. It's just like we're going to make a YouTube channel. We're going to come up with the ideas and you're going to be the star. And oftentimes these kids are just reciting lines or whatever. Like what do you think is going to happen to Ryan's Toy Review?
Starting point is 00:50:13 Like what do you think not even happen, but what do you think he's going to be like? when he is our age. I think he's already chilling in a mansion. I think he's on a boat. Anominominally. But there's a lot of other ones. I shouldn't use Ryan. Well, they had him kind of transition over to like educational too.
Starting point is 00:50:29 So he's like educating. Yeah, but eventually he's going to be like 17 years old and he's going to be like, he's going to want to educate kids. And then he's going to have to rebel and then he's screwed. But what I mean is like they had him start with the toys. And then they had him go into education. Like they might just keep him in that bubble. And, like, you know, one day he's going to be jumping smart cars.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Here's my only problem. Here's my only problem with the whole kid thing. They didn't get to decide to be a YouTuber. Now they're this famous YouTuber that all these kids watch. And they don't get to go to school because I've talked with other YouTubers whose kids are these said famous YouTubers. They have their own channel that have freaking five, 10 million subscribers or even a million. That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:51:14 And I asked, do they go to school? and they said no we don't I'm like aren't you like worried that they're going to like grow up and be like I didn't want this or miss the development yeah they give you I'm sure they're because you always want what you can't have so I guarantee you they're going to be like eventually they're going to be like 50 I'm like why did you do this to me I want to just go and play football and go to the prom and all this and then they're kind of like weird or maybe they quit doing YouTube but they still like had they missed like that whole thing it's and it's basically the same thing as child stars except it seems like nowadays they are so good at regulating and making sure they don't turn
Starting point is 00:51:51 into shitbirds but when you're freaking youtube's not that regulated you could kids you could probably quit if your kid was like you know like 10 they could probably quit and then just and be fine and be normal and get a couple years of not being anything but the problem is it might just stick with you but you know how when you age up maybe just because kids always make fun of for whatever the freaking anybody even if it's not yeah yeah say Ryan's story reviews 10 quit It's pretty tough to quit at this point. Quits. Spends like three years being homeschooled,
Starting point is 00:52:20 goes into a school, changes his name, different dude, nobody knows him. throws out his hair. He could be a normal kid. Yeah. And still have a bag to live off of. You'd have to really want that again. We're just using him as an example.
Starting point is 00:52:32 But like I have mostly seen in America, it's pretty hard for people to put a knife to making money to cut that off. You know? Yeah, how do you turn off the spigot? From, yeah, viewing that, Like just seeing people once they start making money, they like make changes to their lifestyle because they're making a bunch of money. And it's really hard for people to cut that off.
Starting point is 00:52:56 It's like in every drug lord movie, you watch them and you're like, dude, you're already making so much money. Just quit. Just quit before you go to jail. Ryan, that is always go. Too much. They're like, yeah, we couldn't find anywhere to put the cash.
Starting point is 00:53:09 We were putting it in the walls. You start learning. You're like, dude, just quit. And then a lot of times, yeah, you can't because you're in the, in the, cartel but true but he was the cartel that's an interesting way to look at it but last thing on that we were just cj and i were just and ken were listening to the roman atwood stevo podcast and it was really interesting that roman atwood was like i made uh pranks i was like one of the first ones on youtube and then like any age was watching me but kids but now i started making like vlogs and
Starting point is 00:53:38 now i just make whatever i want he's like now kids don't even know who i am which is pretty crazy to think like they all grew 10 years ago everyone knew who roman atwood was like even if you were a small kid and then now he's like yeah now i just have like people our age little younger than us and other other than that it's a cutoff at like 18 interesting yeah if you guys could bring one celebrity back to life who would it be macmiller that was mine i was listening to a macneler son and i'm like oh man i miss that guy i just want more macmiller music and a lot of it yeah that's a pretty good one i don't know i like mac miller i like juice world it definitely seems more of like a music oriented thing there's not a lot of actors that i'm like i love them so much that i need them to
Starting point is 00:54:22 like be back making i'd bring back robin william i was gonna say robin william such a good honestly and another close top one would be like steve irwin dude he was a legend he was he there was not a single person that i've ever ever ever spoke to that was like i didn't like steve irwin Not for that stingray. Isn't it amazing all the shit he did? And a stingray is the one that takes him out. I know. Like, dude, kids pet stingrays.
Starting point is 00:54:50 I think there was a whole thing about how it got him. It literally was worst case Ontario. His, uh, if you guys ever look into it, his kids are like completely carrying on his legacy. Yeah, which is really cool. I've seen him on TikTok and stuff. And I'm like, oh, that's totally Steve Irwin's kids. I thought that was Steve Irwin. They're so good, too.
Starting point is 00:55:09 I remember he's like holding some venomous snake And I'm like, he's just like him Don't get stung boy That was so prime though Like I mean he was a household name Everyone knows knew who he was And like you'd see him on TV and stuff
Starting point is 00:55:21 That's so like prime early 2000s Late 90s TV No one nowadays really cares about that kind of stuff You're not as wild You'd see him on and you'd just settle in Oh Steve's working with some sort of venomous animal again This is just nuts I remember I used to rent his like VHSs
Starting point is 00:55:38 Watch it Yeah, we go to a blockbuster. Yeah, I missed that. Miss that wave. The VHS thing? No, just most of Steve Irwin thing. Oh, okay. You're probably too young for it.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Yeah. Ben would just go on Netflix. Dude, actually, it's also a crazy thing to think about I saw someone that was like, we're the last generation to have grown up with the internet, but lived in a time where you did not have it. Yeah. That makes sense. Like I grew up, you know, up until I was like, like 11 or 12, I didn't have access to the internet,
Starting point is 00:56:08 Period. It just didn't exist. I could call people on the phone and that was it. And now, like, you simply cannot be without internet unless you living off the grid. Yeah, it's insane. I mean, what would you do? You were young? What were you obsessed with? It was like cars, dinosaurs, trains.
Starting point is 00:56:27 It was like the little boy personality traits. I can't remember the fourth one. It's either, like, construction, dinosaurs, trains. I liked farm stuff. Yeah, farm. We'll go heavy machinery. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I think I did too. I guess dump truck stuff. Yeah, just give me some more. It's like, I don't know. I like the piano. This is off topic, but Ben, I don't have a problem with it because I love, like, walking around the shop.
Starting point is 00:56:53 But your Lambo literally just sits in the shop. Do you ever drive that thing? Like, I swear to God, it's in the shop more than anything. And I like it because I get to walk around and fucking look at the Lando. It's sick. But you pull up in your Subaru. six days out of the week.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Yeah, I drive it, I guess. My dad drives it more than I drive it. Your dad's out driving it. Yeah, yeah. It's when somebody else isn't driving it, I usually drive it. I was just curious if you were like, if there's a reason why you don't drive it,
Starting point is 00:57:25 which also I want to get into your dad driving too because that's actually funny. We'll get into that actually right now. I guess to answer your question before we move on from that, why I don't drive it is dude it's actually
Starting point is 00:57:41 kind of stressful driving that thing I believe it because of the price tag of what could go wrong if I know that I'm driving into Greta's house and I won't be coming home until 11
Starting point is 00:57:53 it's like actually stresses me out driving that thing out there no no driving that thing at night because of deer okay and that's what I was wondering if there was a reason like that so that's one reason just the slightest possibility of like a storm rolling through and then quickly having to like find like if it's going to hail it's kind of hard to like something i notice whenever i ride with you and it's kind of like hard to get around fast like when we go into dL if it's like a day when there's people there like
Starting point is 00:58:22 fucking everyone's coming up to you and they're either trying to talk to you because you're they watch the videos or because you drive a Lamborghini and they're trying to just talk to you about the car and it's almost like it's the same conversation over and over and over again we're just trying like navigate to wherever we're going yeah that uh and if i'm like running late or something like that i got to let it warm up you're right and i can't rot on it for like 10 minutes it's like that thing takes a wild to warm up i mean i guess i could just hop in and go but then i'm like stressing over like what am i trying to keep the r pms yeah am i hurting this or am i going to blow a gasket or something like that and then cost 10 000 so um yeah i mean just like reasons like that but if i know
Starting point is 00:59:03 that like I have time or like if I'm going somewhere where I'm not worried about like parking or what I'm pulling in and out of too then I'll mob it but there's just certain things that like yeah I never really thought that would worry me or that I would think about until you're kind of like forced to fair enough force to and you're just like uh if shit does go south or if I have a problem with it then I got to ship this thing off to Colorado or Chicago to get fixed and things like that. So I guess I'm just like more selective than just like hopping in and just driving it. Okay. So that's kind of what I was assuming. And I will say, honestly, after driving yours and riding in it and everything, it's freaking awesome. But I don't have any
Starting point is 00:59:45 desire and buying one anymore. Really? I don't. And I'm not trying to pump up my own car, but like the GTR costs like one third to the price of that. It's just as fast. And I think it's just as good. It's not like a huge target rolling around in. Everyone's not freaking out. Only people that freak out about a GTR are people that are actually car enthusiasts. I don't know. But I just like that car better. I realized.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Just because it's cheaper. And I'm on the same. It's roughly the same performance. I don't think. Your car was over $300,000? Your car is half. No, it'd be like $290 new. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:22 But your car is half of his cost. No, it's not. I got mine for $120. I got mine for 102. Yeah, but then I don't know. So he paid what? You were like, yeah, but it's $120. His is more and double.
Starting point is 01:00:33 I still agree. I think I'd just rather than you start to break it down like that. I'd rather have CJ's car because, yeah, I'd be like, dude, I paid half of what Ben paid. I still will probably baby the thing, and it's super fast. And then I'm on a completely different page. People are like, when are you going to get a super nice car? I'm like, just after viewing you guys, actually all of you guys, I don't think I can do it. Bro, I would never drive it.
Starting point is 01:00:57 I would never drive it. I think I would drive it even less than you guys just because I did. Less than Ryan? I daily drive mine. Right, and you do. Yeah, actually, you do. I love it. It's a great car.
Starting point is 01:01:07 So, no, I mean, yeah, I just, I'd find myself in, like, not driving it. And Ryan doesn't drive his Camaro because he lives on the gravel road. And I hate it. It's actually a major, major bummer. Like, it just is. Yeah, it does suck that you live on a gravel road for just. For that purpose, yeah, it does. That's literally the only time I drive my car is a long gravel road.
Starting point is 01:01:25 It's not like it's a short one where you could just kind of inch it down it. No, it'd take it take too long. And it would just wouldn't be working. It's worth it. But yeah, literally every Friday morning, I just drive and fill it up the little quarter tank and get a car wash and then drive it back. And then next Friday, I pull it out again. And it's, it's, I hate it. I wish that I was able to utilize it more and it was different. That's why I regret selling my truck. So, really? Yeah. If I can go back in time, I would. Really? Yeah, without a doubt. No kidding. And some things you only find out when you actually do, you know, like that's a
Starting point is 01:01:56 I wasn't sure if you were trying to keep miles off the thing just for resale. But then I figured your answer is going to be exactly right. I'd say more so your dad, but your whole, like your family and other people drive that thing more than you is what I started realizing. And I was like, why does Ben never drive it? Pretty much. Well, one, they don't care about the things that I worry about. And two, they should. Well, they'd have to pay for it if they broke it.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Yeah. No, I don't know. I think it is cool, though, like if I'm not driving. And, like, I think it means a lot to somebody who can just, like, hop in. And it's just like, they're just stoked about it. I'd be pretty stoked if somebody was like, yeah, you can just take my Lambo, whatever. It means a lot to me. I have had.
Starting point is 01:02:39 I take it home every Wednesday and Thursday. You don't even notice it's gone. I have had a few people. Scott actually goes, so I saw Ben's dad driving that Lambo. This has happened to me as well. Two times this week. So is that, like, their car together or whatever? And I go, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:02:55 I was like, it's, it's Ben's car, but he does let his dad drive it and he drives it more. He lets anybody drive it basically, but I've had someone come up and it was just like a random person. And they're like, yeah, I saw Ben's dad driving, uh, that Lambo, uh, he was filling it up at the holiday gas station in D.L. And he goes, so is that, is that Ben's dad's? And he lets him drive it for the video or is that? And I was like, no, no, no, that is Ben's like, but it is funny that he's driven it so much that people started thinking it was his yeah that is kind of annoying i mean right i understand that because like people would just love to think that i know it kind of discredits you it's like you worked really hard to be able to afford it and then now everyone
Starting point is 01:03:39 thinks your dad bought and you just get to drive it in the video yeah that is super annoying actually that sucks yeah it really does so um yeah i'd like to clear that up because if it did like i would just like i don't not be able to say shit it's just about A few people around here have asked us. Yeah. But then, like, to be real, then your dad could go, Ben, I let you drive my cars, which is true. But you drove his Corvette, like, a total of five times ever. And then maybe his Raptor a total of five times, like, ever.
Starting point is 01:04:11 I was on a wedding last week. And my mom, my dad must have my mom text me because my dad was probably new, like, he was running out of chances, you know, opportunities of just, like, constantly asking me he probably knew i was getting like sick of it and uh so my mom text me was like hey we're about to leave for the wedding your dad wants to know if we can take your car and i was like oh fuck um yeah there's like a short little gravel driveway just like from the road into the venue but like go slow down that other than that like yeah i don't care that looks out at the wedding he goes so they drive it to the wedding and everything and i have like buddies like taking pictures with it and they were like your parents are mom in your car and it's like
Starting point is 01:04:58 sitting in the middle of the field because there's like kind of like a farmhouse wedding and I'm just like oh my gosh and uh I get home the next day and I'm looking at my car it's just dusty as fuck and I'm like holy crap how fast were you going down this like 300 yard driveway like why is it so dusty my dad goes well your mom needs to figure out how to put into her her phone how to avoid gravel. What? I go... What?
Starting point is 01:05:28 Well, you can't avoid the driveway. Yeah, but there was like a little gravel stint that we went down up until that point. And I was like, what do you mean gravel stint? How long we talk in here? It was like two, three miles, four miles. Oh my gosh, dude. And I, my jaw literally drops. I'm like, I literally look him dead in the eye.
Starting point is 01:05:52 I go, you drove my fucking Lamborghini down four miles of gravel. And he's just like white. He's just like, I know it sucked for me too. Oh, did it? Okay. Good to know.
Starting point is 01:06:11 I love what he didn't even. He could have just gotten a car wash and gotten away with it. And my mom is sitting there and goes, why would you tell him that? He didn't need to know that. We looked the car over. and there was nothing wrong with it,
Starting point is 01:06:23 which there was really nothing wrong with it. And my dad goes, well, when he was driving it around the roads before the salt got washed off the roads in early season, that was harder on it than four miles of gravel. And I was like, you can't tell me what I can and can do with my car? And he goes, I know, I'm just saying,
Starting point is 01:06:45 I suppose it's probably the end of you allowing me to drive that thing, huh? Dude, rolls just flipped For like one time We'll see. I know how they did that. We'll see. I've been to a wedding there and I entered it in and the thing in on my phone wrong or I must have came from the wrong direction. And I had to go down that same exact gravel road and I was thinking myself, why is there so much travel to this wedding venue.
Starting point is 01:07:10 And if you go the wrong way, so I know exactly how they did that. And that's actually easy to do. But anyways. Still though. Yeah, I was actually pretty pissed because I was like, you know how mad you would be if I did, if you had a, Lamborghini and you let me drive it and I drove down four miles of gravel
Starting point is 01:07:27 I know I know I'm sorry about that God damn that's funny yeah no I mean it is what it is but I don't know it's pretty cool though I guess just the amount of people that have driven it that like dude that was like the first Lambo I'd ever even really seen in person especially around here there's not around here
Starting point is 01:07:46 and we travel quite a bit we're in like a lot of positions that we'd see cool cars and I rarely even see them and so like the people around here truly never see that and it's like when you can just throw the keys and be like yeah take it for a rip like that is like I don't know that I think the car should be used yeah it's what it should be used for and like that's like the coolest part of it yeah for sure well I think that's probably all we got for today I got to go I got to go okay yeah I got to go too so all right thank you guys for listening and watching if you're on YouTube make sure you hit the subscribe button please please hit the subscribe button button.
