Okay, so I wrecked my favorite car. Once again, you guys have the worst gifts that you can possibly give. If you were to bring one or two, the twins, to meet your mom, would you? I just got to do what best for me was in a lot, you know? Is there anything else that happened that night? They'd feel comfortable talking about it? Oh, yeah, like getting punched in the face. Something happening here.

What's up with the creed memes? Dude, I don't like creed. Will you get off of this? I mean, it's fine if you do, man. Creed's a great band. No, it's not. I thought you were talking about the movie. Yeah, you're hating on Creed.

Like, it's Nickelback. Like, people like Creed. No, I like Nickelback. No, it's not. I like Nickelback's pretty good, too. Yeah, I will say right now, if I ever get to take Nickelback for riding my car, I'd do it. It's talking about Creed from the office. Jake, you'd take anyone for riding the car.

Literally, like, a homeless guy across street. Yeah. Oh, hey, you need a ride somewhere good in. Next time Jake goes and gets his tires put on, hey, these guys at the tire shop, they've been working real hard. Do you think you could just give them each to ride. ride around the block. Just burn off the tires. I would love that one, anything.

Some more black marks right outside the shop. Yeah, dude, I got like one very crucial part and I just had to come show everybody so I had to give multiple rides. Dude, I mean, it's a Hellcat. Uncle Buck's not. It's not.

It's a Mustang. But going back to Uncle Buck's Hellcat, I mean, sexy red write songs about Hellcats and SARTs, not about Mustangs and Camaro. That's very true. That's very true. You're, you definitely got The cards are stacked against you Yeah

Even when you're in a Mustang But you're making it work man I am I am I'm basically just trying to like give a good name for the community Because like you know the Mustang community has a bad rep All I got to do is not crash Dude you're you're real you made of sliding in with our security cam footage That popped off almost 10 million already Passed a crash like a date

Well nobody's actually seen a video of a Mustang drifting that doesn't end And yeah you're expecting it to hit something And it's like oh my God I better send this to my friends Whoa, look at this. Every comment's like, CGI, not real. This is not a Mustang fake. And then everyone else is like Toby Marshall was driving.

And if you don't know who that is, it's like movie Fast and Free, the guy drives him Mustang, and he mobs it. And it's kind of my hero. So you should look him up. He's the fucking greatest guy in the world, dude. So it wasn't you that came in and slid into the back of Ken's car? No. Oh, yeah.

Ken's got some rear bumper damage. Got some supper last night, pulling the garage, plug my car in, and I realized the back end is just fucked up. Have you checked the cameras here? I did. It was perfect. Like the bumper was everything was fine. When I left here and then when I got home two hours later, it's just messed up.

You get slightly accused me and Alondra. Really? How'd that go? Pretty bad. We got to fight. Get this right. So last night, Ken text me just out of the blue, a picture of the back end of his bumper, right? And it's just all scuffed up and cracked.

And I was like, oh, fuck. Was this me? I was thinking back because he didn't send any, like, caption or anything with it. He just sent the picture of the bumper and he goes, sorry, I thought you were Ben Shane. I was like, I just typed in Ben, click the first one. And I, because I was trying to send it to Ben Shane because I was trying to get security camp footage from the restaurant. Well, you had me worried there for a second. It would line up because you were sliding that Hellcat around in the parking lot.

So you're like, wow, I clipped someone else's car up against Ken's car. And now you got two cars that probably pay for. Yeah, I would have been really blacked out to not realize that I hit three B. vehicles, but yeah. So how many beers did you have before that? Well, I think like a good way to figure out if someone did hear is you would look around the parking lot and if anybody else's cars had a scratch in it or was messed up, then you could probably assume that that person did it.

So the reason I asked you and Alondra was because you and Alondra were the only people that drove your car like anywhere near my car. Fine, you caught us. We did it. Dude, it sounds like you're still convinced that they did do it the way you're attacking. I just got to check all my bases like getting it covered. Okay, don't you have like a hundred cameras on that thing? Yeah, they weren't turned on.

I just don't understand that. Nobody's got their cameras on, huh? Because the restaurant didn't either. It's weird because we like fart next to that thing and you get notified. Yeah. Ken, you don't miss much, but the one time, you just, you know, my safe space is not around here. Is that true? Where is your safe space?

Yeah, how is that going for you? Typically the garage, but even then it's kind of, you never trust those roomies. It's true. I could eat his car the other day. Speaking of fucked up cars. Speaking of. Speaking of, Ken, I literally just watched this for the first time and I need to address this. I would be so thankful if these guys lined up a speed dating thing like that.

You have no idea. That would be like my dream come true for my friends to come pick me up. Tell me to bring a suit, not tell me why. And then be like, oh, yeah, we lined up some of the most smoke show of girls in this room. We're going to get you just drunk and you're going on a speed dating thing and you get to go out with one of them again. Well, he got himself drunk. but yeah we were actually trying to cut him off but he kept drinking and then there was another guy there that was giving him shots and i was like you got to quit give him shots we need him dialed

in here regardless i would be praising these guys but you just you i feel like you you didn't you didn't thank him well enough like you well no he didn't thank us at all actually i came into assuming the worst because every other time they do something it's like the exact opposite see that's they would have like total you have you have valid valid concern there I mean, that's, but I think it was progress. Are you calling him out on the whole bullshit right now? I'm not calling him out, but I'm just saying I would have made the best of that, regardless of the situation they put me in.

He did pretty good. He did pretty good. I will say you did do very well. And I laughed. You did your job. You should have seen it, though. So this didn't make the cut, but Ken, like,

you know, picks his girl, which unfortunately didn't end up working out. But all the girls at the end, like, go up and, like, they were still,

like, they were still, I mean, he still probably got, like, you know. Seven of them on the... Yeah, he could probably give at least seven

them a call back. You guys cut a lot of stuff out too. Well, Ken, it was an hour long, like, what could have been a full podcast, but also I don't know how appropriate it was that you guys were talking dirty. It was even more vulgar than any

you've ever heard out here. Yeah, it would have been too dirty for this podcast. It's just flat out too dirty for YouTube. We had to put it on Rumble. On Corn Hub. I don't know about that. I just remember back when we quite literally recited sexy red lines on this podcast it's got it that's got cut no no no no no sexy red would sit there and be

like oh this shit vulgar some of the stuff you were sending me on snap i was just like dang you guys are gonna put this on youtube yeah what you did to those women came oh my god because i'm pretty sure when when they all got vetted maybe they just lied they stepped in their interview process but they were just good holy women and then something you they got in front of you dude they got out of you and they were they were just like they were laying it all on the line they were they were laying it all on the comments everyone's got to have a slight untruth to make it buddy you were not you were telling everything but that was not anything that dude was lying like a rug i want to have two kids six kids i like vodka water so my guys you're gonna play the field

you can't just say the same thing just like you can't let him know what your next move is um which is what he is he's a suspicious man he's a mysterious man as well but uh ken so have you your family said anything to you about it? No, they haven't watched that. Really? You got to send that to Carolyn. I'm surprised Carolyn or anyone hasn't been like your cousin or Cody hasn't been like, yo, that was awesome. I try and keep my mom away from the internet as much as I can. I'm going to text her it. I just heard a whoop. Yeah, Jake, did you just text to her? Good, good, good. I'm just going to, then you should say, do you have room for 10 more people

at Christmas? come to Christmas Ken if you were to bring Besides for the one that you picked Olivia If you were to bring one or two Of them back The twins to meet your mom Would you?

Or were they all Would you only bring the one that you picked back? I think there was a couple maybe I think there were some A couple contenders that I would bring See my parents The twins? Some other ones

Who is the other ones? You know I'm bad with names You know what you should do right? now you should message one of them after this podcast you'll go on your second date we'll leave right after this you should dm one of them right now yeah can you should you should take them jet skiing yeah for right now yeah you love the water still isn't frozen it's a little frozen I'll loan you my jet skis you can or I guess you probably want to ride on yours yeah I just had no idea you love jets skiing I got to come up with some bullshit on the spot I don't know do you know what was he gonna say I love

packaging orders like you know I mean you probably could just have like I love sitting on the back my buddy's double-decker pontoon and drinking they probably had been true we wouldn't have we wouldn't we didn't like yep that's true yep that's him honestly they would have probably been like that sounds like a lot of fun that sounds great actually they might have gotten the wrong vibe like this guy's

way too extreme for me like he's constantly skiing constantly jet skiing like I don't know if I'm gonna be able to keep up with him he broke his neck like I think that girl didn't believe you no I don't think I think she was like that's a bad joke like it was just like awkward after that yeah like she didn't even have much

shelves to say after that. She didn't know you were built like that. I think you did really, really good. No, you did. Like a gauntlet of dating thing. I would have felt uncomfortable in it. And I think you handled it really well. And you had some great responses to some of the questions.

And it did get cut up to make it funnier. Of course. Or, you know, it was all happened. But like, you know, you only showed the funny horrific parts, you know. So, like, it did go a lot smoother probably than it appeared. But, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I think Ken walked out of there with a lot more confidence. Don't you think, Ken?

Yeah. He walked out there, like, I feel like when we do up the second version, you know, like when we do V2 with that. When is that next week? I think he's going to be ready. It's a whole new venue for season two. Yeah, we just got a new budget. They just hit us up. Yeah.

FX or Fox. We're going, uh, yeah, yeah, we're doing, we're doing the Bachelor. Ken's speeding dating, but in paradise. Yeah, we just signed a, we just signed an eight, eight episode contract. Okay, I might be able to fuck with that. We're sending you to Albuquerque, New Mexico. No, no, that is not paradise. Nope, there's a hotel there called the paradise.

No way, Albuquerque. No way. No way. I think the next time that we do it, we just put them on an island. Ken's Island. I like to sound like... You know, we spend the entire budget of the show on buying the island. It'd be a pretty good investment, I'd say.

Turn around and flip it. Actually, I'm pretty sure... He just has a bunch of jet skis there. I'm like a skiing simulator. We're like, oh. I'm 99% sure when you buy an island, you never make money on it. Is that true? Yeah.

I mean, no. What do you know about islands? I'm just, it seems like something like, I'm pretty sure like when Mr. B spot the island for the video, he, he sold it again after the video was done and like obviously sold it for less. Oh, well, we should just pick up a slightly used time. So you think that island market is going down? All the other real estate in the world is going up, but islands down.

Yeah, I'm 100% of the time. But why? It's like when you build a house. house on an island and then you try to sell it it's really hard to sell because no shit I like that but it's like on an island fairly inconvenient yeah I guess owning the island is different so I didn't mean to sidetrack you guys I just don't think the island market is good yeah yeah mark it all right my game bullish on island market I guess but he just pulls out a chart that's like house marketing up island market arrow down like damn okay yeah right house marker goes down though island marker goes up

Yeah, yeah. Are we going to go into the other car accident that happened or no? Yeah, there was another one. Can we please? Yeah, we have to. What happened?

I was afraid. I haven't told anyone, Ryan, I guess, knows because he was there when you called. Oh, so you don't even know. No. No. Oh, wow. Well, Jake knows because your car's at his house. Cedger told me because I told him my car.

Okay, so I'm the only one that doesn't know. I just figured you'd get filled in. But so anyway, we, uh, it's drop day. It was working all day. It was Thanksgiving. We finally get a chance. to watch the video altogether and that at that point it was about nine o'clock anyway I was just like in a hurry to get to town but I still had a bunch of stuff to do I was going to get to town

I was going to work like so I'm like okay I got all these picks on my phone I'm just gonna start firing them on to snapchat and Instagram all the swipe-ups whatever I was just like not thinking about driving I was hauling ass and 100% my fault dude 100% my fault and I come up to the corner and I like look up and I'm like in the left lane like just bond coming right just Yeah. Oh, shit. Almost hitting the curb. So I'm used to my Subaru being on rails, you know, when I'm, like, turning, like, it's wide.

You've got to not be used to almost hitting the left. The left curve. It's got to be a little shocking. Yeah. You've done that already with your old Subaru. And your BMW. And your BMW. No, yeah, you hit that curb right there.

I did do that in my BMW. You've curbed a lot of wheels. Okay, sorry. That one, yeah. So anyway, I like. He didn't even curb them this time. I do the classic thing where you look up and you're like, Whoa, skirt!

And I like swing it to the right thinking I'm just going to like snap back into the other lane and, you know, hit the brakes and oh gosh, that was scary. But no, I like skirted it, hit the brakes and just full slide, full slide, full slide, slid all the way across to the other curb, blow my suspension out, blow the wheels out. Like all four wheels are like blowed out. What? Yeah. Bro, the bumper's under the car. On your sube? Yeah.

Yeah, it's bad. So bad, dude. Yeah. Your hood is spidered, too, by that. Yeah. The hood is, yeah. So it's like, I mean, I'll preface. Like, I'm going to fix it, of course.

Like, same thing's my baby. You know, ordered new wheels already and stuff like that. But, yeah, hit, just slid up onto the, like, up onto the curb into the grass. Once I got on the grass, I was just sliding more and more and more. Oh, my gosh. I was going, like 55. You started up jump the curb. Yep.

Skirted. Into that yard. And then into the yard of that house. Yep. And then. hit a green box, and that's where most of the damage came from. Dude, I'm glad you're okay. Did the air brake pull off? Yeah.

No, no, no. So, yeah, everyone's like, are you okay? I'm like, dude, like, I'm more than fine, but the car is not. Like, I, I just... Every one of his rims in a certain spot looks like you were putting a tire on, and you put a log through there, then put the tire on, and slammed it on the ground, and they just have big hoops in them. Like, huge dens. I'd say

the wheels is the least of the... Do you have a picture? I have a video here. I'm trying to pull up. A front bumper. The side of it, the hood. How am I just hearing about this? I just didn't. Yeah, then, yeah. Steve had a good point.

He was like, it's Mike's. Yeah, I didn't tell it. Yeah, that was you telling you. Well, I guess I haven't seen you guys, so that would make sense. Fucking expensive week here. What the hell is even that? What did you hit on the front? Like the curve.

A tree. Oh, yeah. No, no, I found it was the green box. I was so rattled. What the hell is even that? it's so bad dude yeah so the rear bumper messed up no no oh you hit it with the front yeah yeah yeah so what bumper side panel hood and maybe a little bit of your uh wide body maybe a maybe a new couple flares yeah i guess i did a lot of stuff under the honestly

under stuff is what's concerning jake actually yeah jake told me he goes like i haven't seen it like i went to fargo right after that but jake's like yeah i saw it in the daylight she's not looking good you know not not totaled by any means but like uh yeah he's like then he's like all four rims are just done and i was like okay i think i ordered a new wide body and rims now i just got to get like hood bumper light luckily i have my yellow hood so i'll probably put that back on but yeah dude like definitely gonna fix it but i was just like super bummed you could repeat i'm bummed too for you mike i'm bum for you dude that i love that car i think the worst part is let's say

it was like not that yellow color i think about like repent in the whole car, but... And if it was your Bronco, if it was your Bronco, it might have been more expensive, but at least the parts were available. That's what I'm worried about this. Dude, this is going to be more expensive than his Bronco, guaranteed. I'm looking like, the worst part is that it's either like

DuraFlex bumpers, which if you guys know that, they come crumpled up in a box, like, not the move. Or like, you get an OEM bumper and then like bring it back to life. That's like, I don't think they really have OEM new stuff for that car. Right. So, ah, yeah. You have to find one off, like, one that was wrecked in the back and then repaint that. But, yeah, no, Subaru parts are expensive, as well as, like, the Evo and just all that.

They mark it up, man. They just do. That's why I couldn't believe the wheels that I have on it, which I really, really like. That's, like, custom offset Fitman Industries brand of wheels. They're like $800 for four wheels. I think that really truly is the least of my problems. There's the easiest fix, too. One good thing that there wasn't another car coming.

Okay, so I wrecked my favorite. favorite car um seriously though as soon as it happened even as it was happening i just go thank god there was no one coming yeah just because you know i decided to whip my phone out and be distracted and i really coulda hurt myself more or hurt someone else that's what it's pretty good reason not to be on your phone yeah were you what were you doing were you texting or what i was picking a song might as well throw some music on playing candy crush yeah i just download i think the worst part is is like I don't know who to call as far as, like, who do I bring this car to and say, like, yeah, you know, just like, I need this back to life in the best way possible.

And just like, let them take care of it. Yeah, for the most part. I just want a good job. It's important on that car as collector. I found it's easier. Don't fix it. Keep rodding on it. And then just crash in tomorrow.

Yeah. That's what Cody does. Way cheaper. Yeah. Bro. Cody is like, why would I fix it? I'm going to hit a deer next week. Dude,

every time I see his car, I'm like, dang, looking good, comes to work the next day. It looks like a T-Rex just took a bite out of the side. I'm like, bro,

what happened? He's like, you're not going to believe it, dude. Just has this story that is borderline impossible, but that's what happened. Damn, dude.

It's a bummer. I'm sorry, Mike. When you, when you send me the video, at first I was like, damn, what an idiot. And then I saw the video

and I could hear your voice, and I was like, damn, like I feel bad, bad for my friend there. How rattled were you? So rattled that, so when it happened, I just, like, look around immediately. I'm just like, I got to get out of here. Reverse.

Next thing you know, I'm like, let's say, a quarter mile away. So I like start running back and I'm like, I lost my wide body players. You know, grab those. Like leaving the license plate on the. Yeah. So I grabbed those and I'm just like trying to look around. Didn't bring my phone with me, which is dumb. And I'm like, what did I even hit?

And there's like trees everywhere. I'm like, it had to been one of those trees. Then I just went. back there on my way here and it fully knocked out an internet box so oh really holy ben's like damn i haven't had internet all week that's happens all the time around here like especially in the winter so that the arvig the internet company around here they're probably like jeez there wasn't even i see box yeah i know mike's driven in the ditch more times than anyone else i know you've you've gotten every single vehicle you've ever owned stuck in the ditch at some point

that is multiple times besides the Bronco yeah yeah is that good on the Bronco or bad on you the man needs to start driving off road vehicles because he's got a plan to go in the ditch

man's just got to stay on the road yeah I'm not going to do this but should just have an off road rally Subaru and I'd be fine we already got one of those maybe when we finish ours you could just line it up then you can run it into curbs

maybe we'll see actually I don't know so speaking of all right Even though that unfortunately had to be redacted, is there anything else that happened that night that you feel comfortable talking about? Oh, yeah, like getting punched in the face. All right, do you want to start this little segment here?

We're with you too. Yeah, should we separate you or? No, we're good. Ken, you want to switch spots with Mike just to make sure it's no more physical altercation? Well, Jake's going to need the safe place. He's the one getting assaulted. Well, I don't know if, I don't know if Jake is.

in the right here I don't know if Jake deserves to be protected here I got one like I have one coming back Come on Did I say what happened? Get to the story, get to the story Well Jake hooked up with Micah's ex-girlfriend Jake then told Micah

And then Micah punched him in the face That is the very short version Of it That's rightfully so That's how Jake tells the story on when he tells people. On paper? Yeah.

But no, it was, this is all premeditated with the both of us. Oh, you planned on that. I didn't plan. Like you told him to.

You planned on it? No, I didn't plan it. Hold on. No. Back up. He was very nervous to tell me that information.

Rightfully. So, yeah. I think so. But then you told me, he called you and you're like, do you think he's going to care? And you're like,

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. Well, so Jake, after it happened, Jake called me. It was like, dude, I've got to get this off my chest. I hooked up with Mike's girlfriend last night, ex-girlfriend. Yeah. Man, do you think he's going to be mad?

And I laugh and I go, man, dude, you got no boundaries, do you? Dude, I was talking to Mike. I'm like, we're four-time champions, though. I wanted to get you a trophy, bro. You've got three on his belt on me. Four p, dude. Yeah. And I go, to answer your question, though, no, he won't be mad, dude.

Mike never gets mad. And I think it's water under the fridge. He's not going to be mad. And then you called me a couple days later. Bro, dude, I told Mike, and he punched me in the face. And I was like, no way. Dude, I'm not glad when I told him, I was just stunned at what happened. We were just, like, looking at each other.

Boom. No, that's not. I mean, that's not what happened. You have every right to be mad, Mike. Yeah, I know I'm with you, Doug. I'd be mad, too. For the sake of the story, I wish that would have been, there would have been no words exchange, I'd just punch.

But then later on, you're like, you're seriously not mad, and we were hanging, we were drinking. We were like, just, just, like, hanging out all night. And then it'd be like, dude, well, like, do you, like, not want to, like, punch me right now? Like, are you not mad? And then I'll be like, I mean, I'd punch you, but, like, not because of that, but it would be fun. And you're like, all right, how about, you know,

just one of those, like, moments where he's like, how about you punch me in the face? We'll call it even. And then I'm like, let's do it. I've never punched anybody in the face before. Let's try it out. Feel good. So then you're like, well, don't make it like a light punch either.

You know, punch me. Like do it right, yeah. Easily the hardest I've ever punched anyone also, the only time I have as far as I remember. But can make connection to those big ass cheekbones you got there. Yeah, right on the cheek. Yeah, right there. Oh, yeah. You went for kind of the knockout almost.

The next morning I woke up and I go, why is my, I'm like, why is my jaw hurt? I'm like, dude, it's so sore. Out of place. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And granted, like, we were very larried at the time. So I was, like, trying to just reconnect the dots. And I go, oh, yeah, Mike punched me in the face last night.

And then Jake's pissed. He's like, what the fuck? Yeah. I'm going to punch him back. Yeah, you go and beat his ass now. He just forgot about everything. Yeah. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio.

On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you. Oh, you're not? No, just ask your doctor. About Wagovi? Yeah, ask for it by name. Okay, so why did you bring me to the circus?

Yeah. You know. Squash the beef once again. Four-time champions, huh? Yeah, we got that dogs. Dude, how many, like, rings do Jordan and Pippen have? Like, you guys are freaking... Who's that?

That's what they're going to talk about in the local bar scene. Championship duos. It's like Tom Brady and Gronk and Mike and Jake. Well, I mean, at least there's not that, yeah, I mean, it's pretty no line to begin with. We really don't have a line here. That's why it's like after he told me if our friendship is like here, it went down to here and then back up to there. Yeah, it's unfazed. That's good.

Yeah, that's good. It's not true friendship. And Ben, you know me well. I don't get mad. I was, that's why I was so surprised when Jake was, dude, he punched me in the face. I was like, whoa, what? I don't think Mike would ever get physical. Like, no matter how mad you are, I just, yeah.

You're right about that, too. Like, I don't think I would ever get physical. Physically, you'd just, like, be like, you're an idiot and just walk away. Oh, yeah, or I might have the meanest words ever that I conjure up. That's, like, about it. And then we only have, yeah, it might be worse. Might be worse. Might go back to his bullying.

I just started just bullying the. shit out of Jake. Like, probably. It is nice and it's over now. Yeah, yeah. The air is cleared. It's good stuff. Ah, so I was thinking about this the other day, and I keep forgetting to bring it up on

the podcast with you. I'm having a hard time comprehending still what was going through your head to think that this was a good idea, so I'd love to pick your brain at it. So, like, six years ago, we were at this, we were invited to go to this concert from our friend, Big Reno. He had us on as like the promoters basically, right? Shout out Big Reno. So, so he has us on, on stage.

And he goes, yo, I want you. I'm going to hype up the crowd. And I want you guys to come on stage and just be like, just like, be just partying with me. Maybe we'll shotgun a beer and just be like, let's go see boys. And then you guys just go off, right? Sean Kingston was there. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that sounds lit.

Okay, we can do that. Well, Jake buys $10,000 in fake money. No, 50K. Oh, 50K. 50K. He had a duffel bag. Just like a wad of cash, and he bought two of them. He paid 10K for this fake money.

No, yeah, yeah, no, it was like 20 bucks on Amazon. It was fake 50 grand, right? Oh, my God. And he brings it with out on stage. It looks real. It's a prop. And he goes, the crowd actually got hyped up then. Holtz it up to the crowd and everyone's like,

and he just lobs it out into the crowd, one of them. You just see hands going up, someone grabs it, and he's, like, pointing at everyone else, and everyone's like, over here, over here. It was like the type, you know, when you catch a home run ball, but, like, someone else catches it, too, and they're, like, literally holding on for the day. Yeah, probably, like, fighting down to the ground.

It started, like, a literal riot. Normally, someone would make it rain and, like, throw all the money, but since it's fake, you just threw one big wads, only one person was disappointed. Yeah. So, smart, honestly. So Jake chucks these two bricks out, right? We don't know who gets them or where they go, but we go back on and we're like, man, that was crazy, dude.

I bet they think that was real. I can't imagine how disappointed those people were to find out that it was like one fake bill on the top, a bunch of blanks and then one on the bottom, right? Well, after the show, one of our friends comes up to us and goes, check it out. I got the bottom cash. I was pretty bummed to find out that it was fake, but still pretty stoked to find out or like still catch it. And then another friend of ours comes up. You were two friends in this massive crowd of people, right? And we were like, what are the odds?

We were like, everyone else that didn't catch them thinks that Jake just drove 50. We looked way cooler up on stage. Jake looked the coolest. Yeah, he was like 19 years old. I remember that happening and being moderately adamant that Jake could not throw out fake money at this thing. We did it, baby. And then you did it. And I was like, this is so dumb.

And then our friends came up with the money And then it was all cool It was like we were way cool And I go this is like why do I even say anything It always works out fucking perfect for this guy So what yeah Which part did you want me to like riddle apart Because that whole story was flawless

Like it went to plan Like I had the goggles on that like I could type words remember Yeah that's right Yeah and you gotta bring those back You should make those for bumps I should actually That would be a solid move. I guess I just look back

at it like man you could have literally started a literal riot yeah that was like the plan to hype up the crowd right like we were there to be hype guys the more people are going nuts we did our jobs but like let's say we just went out there and they're like who the who the frick are those guys yeah we didn't surprise that i don't i can't believe anybody knew who like we had like 80 000 subscribers at that point well you come out holding 50 racks that's the crowd's going to get it don't make sense yeah yeah it is finally it makes a lot more sense like we legit had like maybe 150,000 subscribers, or maybe 300, I don't know, around there. And just like...

And had you not done that, it would have gone exactly how we thought it was going to go? We were pretty uncomfortable there, besides for that part. I was like, what are we doing up here? I can't dance. I can't sing. I know. We're just standing up here. Trying to be hype guys.

We're just YouTubers that make bags and we throw 50K into the crowd. And it probably looked like that because I... Yeah, that's true. That's true. And admittedly, I'd like to throw just Justin under the boss, but me too. Justin and I were dressed like we were going to confirmation, dude. We look like such fucking lameos.

Yeah, Justin was wearing like a Henley button up. I had some dumb shirt on too, but like it, man, we, I look so lame. I'm not going to lie, I felt like I was in my element. Me and Mike were wearing our balzy shirts and I was wearing LED glasses. Yeah, you were sick. My favorite part then after was like, Reno was like, yo, you guys like, come on meet Sean Kingston. Like, for sure. It's going to be sick.

and then we like go into this small like you know the back it was a locker room it was a locker room and uh he's just like yeah he's you know he's motherfuckers do youtube and then uh sean kingston's like yeah nice could have literally yeah pop up that picture too i will dude look at us dude just got this crusty ass photo me with my arm on john kingston's shoulder wait you have that he was on instagram he posted yeah people forget i met john kingston was really nice just the shittiest fucking picture, and he could have cared less about this. Can I please see that? Holy shit. Who's that guy?

Ken kind of looks the same. Mike. That's when I couldn't grow a beard. No, I don't know. You got it. That's all I... Oh, my gosh, dude. It's all I got to say is when I couldn't grow beard, I look dumb. Okay, to be fair, Ben, you weren't dressed that

stylish either. At least you had a long, long body tee on. Oh, fucking where's Waldo? There's actually like a slight. little backstory to that too the way we got to meet uh jesse and kyle from nelk was i don't know they were in the area doing a prank or something and big reno met them and he asked them to do exactly what he asked us to do a year or two prior yeah so they were there hyping that up that's when we met them and then it's just funny that the next year or two after he's like Kyle and jesse did it i want you guys to do it now let's keep it local and we're like and we asked jesse that was big yeah how it was to do it he's like

dude it was pretty awkward i was up there trying to hype everyone up but i i i don't didn't have any talent You know, at the time, he's like, I do Prank, so he's like, let's go Big Rino! That's where that came from. That's right. Oh, man.

Oh. Jacob. Yeah, Ryan. Still being hard on your cars over there. Yeah, of course I am. That's like what I'm basically just trying to do at this point. It is like, I want to actually be a good driver. It's like, I want to.

You're trying to switch it up now. No, no. I want to be a good, like a good race car driver. No, I want to be like, yeah, I want to be a wheelman. You always wanted to be a wheel man. Yeah, but now you're actually doing it. Ever been your dream. I know, I've always wanted to, and I've always just wotted everything up.

But just lately, I just feel like I got it in me this thing. You got a drift stick, Jake. Right. It's working out. It's working out. Like, so far, haven't crashed yet, you know. I'll be like that. So far haven't crashed.

Yeah. You got your Mustang. You plan for it to be a drift. drift Mustang, but once you got the drift stick installed, one of the many things that you're going to be doing to it, you came over, I've ridden with you a million times in a million different vehicles. I've never had a ride like that with you. It was good, right? You were driving like we were on a closed track and your car wouldn't break. Like, it was insane. I just couldn't crash. That's like what I'm trying to do. Like once I got this and I instantly crashed it, I'm just like, all right,

well, I got that out of the way. There's my crash. You know? Perfect. So I like got all the parts that I need to build like an actual, like we're going to cage this thing, put a seat in it. And like, I want to, like my ultimate end goal is they do like the 10K at the drift track in Sabin. I want to win the 10K. That's like what I want to do. He wants to win. He's going to be practicing around Dave shop like we have for the last 15 years. Yeah, but I'm going to like, I want to move everything out and like I want to.

I mean, back in the day, we never moved it. We just did it anyway. Right. See, that's the other thing too. It could be there for like, okay, I can't hit that. You know where there's kind of context. Exactly. Yeah.

None of the other drifters that are practicing on a track have a tractor that they could crash in. Yeah. Well, that, that is true. Okay. So back story, every time that there was like snow and we were or wasn't snow Or wasn't snow but it was like back in the day where like nobody even had their driver's license But Jake had like a socky like an old side by side. Yeah.

And we would go out to his dad's like compound for work and just drift like countless circles Around the shed in the middle and it was basically surrounded with tractors on the outside And then like his shed and like gas tank and stuff in the middle. So we didn't have a choice. but to like be pretty dialed. I remember bringing your sister's boyfriend at the time for a ride and he had like the championship game coming up or whatever. Oh yeah, that's right.

And they're like, don't crash. And I remember just hucking it down this corner. And I'm like, we're going to smash into this trailer. This is done. And it's like he's on doorside right on the trailer. And we just barely missed it. And he's like, I'm good. Like, thanks for that.

How many cars have you destroyed in your life? I have a list right here. It's got to be insane. It's long. So I had that first Jeep, rolled that right in front of Ryan. Yep. Trying to be a wheel man. Yeah, trying to be a wheel man.

The story was I was plugging in my phone, but I straight up was just trying to do my thing. Buddy, Mike. It was fine until you destroy it with the skid steering. No, honestly, we can't say, yes, you're right. It was totally fine. Like, it's late enough in life. It was fine.

And then it was cold, freezing. Yeah. And we were just dumb. Yeah. You remember what I told you? Spend all your money. You can make more. That was one of those moments.

Okay, yeah. And the next car, Corvette. So there you go. Man. So that was a real switch up. Jeep, Corvette, White Subaru, Black Subaru, Geotracker, Tahoe, Shagin Wagon, remember that thing? You totally the Shagin Wagon?

We bent the axle. That was basically. That was us, dude. We were jumping it over that little ledge. Remember, like, the hubcap was flying by it? That was fun. Yeah, we could fit 10 deep in that thing. Yeah.

And we're just checks and balance in here. There was two white Subaru's in that vicinity. Yeah, there was two white tubers in there. F-150, remember the sun, blew that up. Oh, my gosh. with a hundred light bars on it. Yeah, that thing was awesome. How much do you spend on light bars on that truck?

Like, $100 on Amazon. I mean, yeah. But they were bright. Like, it was, I think there was just enough of them. Because there was enough of them. Yeah. I love that. We called that truck the sun.

The sun. Yeah. The Illumina, the Edge, the Buick. Cody's Avenger, which obviously he probably destroyed it harder than I did. You guys traded that car back and forth so many times. Yeah. I needed a car. Then he's like, I need a snowmobile.

And then the summer came around. I don't need this car anymore. This is how we would go. Cody would go. Oh, I want to get a snowmobile. Jake and say, okay, I'll buy your car for 10 grand. Great. buys it for 10 grand.

Beats the crap out of it. Cody goes, oh, I need that car back. buys it for 12 grand. I'm a wheeler and dealer, bro. Cody goes, I want to buy a dirt bike. Jake's like, sweet. I'll buy it for six grand. Jake drives it for three months.

Cody's like, oh, I really need a car again. Great. I'll set back to you for 14 grand. Sorry, bro. Dude really doesn't have any boundaries, huh? No. I just got to do what's best for me once in a while, you know. You make me feel bad now.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He's okay. He's driving a BMW now. Then we have the Black Raptor, which I just sold, my white Mustang that we blew up, the Miata, and then Orange Mustang, E350, Powerstroke, and then the Mustang I have now. That's pretty impressive, man. Do you know the average person has eight cars in their whole lifetime? I had that by 20.

You have to say, how many of you had now? I think it's 17, 17, one, two, three. Good job, Jake. Dude, don't stop breaking cars, I guess, you know? Yeah, don't, don't give up on your day job, dude. I am going to be a wheelman. One day you guys are going to be like, he told us, he told us. I'd say you're a wheelman already.

Yeah, you're a damn good driver. I don't know. I've lost my touch. I'll fully admit it. And it sucks. It sucks not being able to do what you used to. I even got the same car back that you used to be good at. I just, I don't have the same.

I will remember the first time we all got together in Ryan's, because so Ryan had his driver's license before everybody. Besides Ken This is the same night That Ken actually got his name But Ryan had a vehicle he could drift Yeah I met Ben and CJ basically through

Ryan, right? Is that how it worked? We met you with Cody Yeah, we were at Sanpei Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah That's right Yeah And we ate pizza with Kalin, I think At Cody's house afterwards

Oh really? That's right, yeah And Cody's dirt bike got stolen Because he left it in the ditch That's right, I remember that For two weeks Like it was there for a substantial amount of time where we could have got it and all of a sudden one day

we're like oh man it got stolen yeah it wasn't even like a day two days two weeks we left that that's just flat out lazy on the side of the road dude you asked for that we found it on facebook you buy it back no it blew up i'm sure it did it was worthless by the time yeah they even stole it it was already blowing up no i was going to say like it's it's kind of aggressive for you to want to win a competition because you did the same thing with your banshee. You were like, yeah, I'm going to build this fast

banshee and I'm going to win all these races and then you didn't ever win. Oh, that's right. I forgot Jake had a losing curse. Yeah, but yeah. So you had the losing curse and then you turn it around because you put time in, you put some time in on the banshee, riding it motorwise, and then you like start winning. I'm like, look at this. Yeah, because he throws his own fucking events so he can win. I come to my events so I can win

but keep in mind he was doing the same thing when he was losing too he was throwing his own events and just losing the shit every time I don't know what is worse something about saying you throw your own event and still lose seems worse than throwing your event and winning yeah

has anybody ever accused you of that being like you throw this event and you curve the rules yeah all the time especially when there's a pot you put up a pot and then you win it and you get the big check It's what it do, baby. It's made out to you, signed by you. Got to start somewhere, you know what I'm saying?

But I think the fact that you lost so many times and also that a lot of guys brought out banshees that maybe could have won. Like, it wasn't like you stacked it against. And you're like, I'm the only guy that can have a bandi. Extended swing arm. Right. And now he's going to start throwing drift events.

No, I'm not going to throw them. I should. He's going to invite people with non-drift cars, though. Yeah. They're at a total distance. Trucks. Uh, Jake's just going to, like, corner off, cone off a couple streets around the area. Just be like, I'm hosting a drift department.

So you guys got to be the judge, though. How are we doing over there, C. Yeah, you look like you. This mic has been like just working its way off. Really loose that I started. And then I was like, trying to tighten it. And then it just fell off. You got to use the adapter.

And then, yeah, this is tough to watch. Yeah, there you go. And then that's got to. go down now we're talking yeah and then now spin the mic you get that thing dialed on and then my only advice no nope you're spinning it on the the audio port yeah my only advice would be to not touch that after you get it on i love it's so hard not to dude this is no there we go there we go nice if you have something good that's good because i do too so we can keep this rolling you go first sweet let's do it i have a really good jake driving story oh god so uh we asked my parents if we could use

there a Yukon to go down to X games, which is like four hours away. So we all pile in my mom's car. And Jake, being Jake, goes, yo, how fast do you think we can get this thing going? Seven of us loaded up in that rig, dude. There's something that you just can't replicate being that dumb in 16, mainly. They only max out of like 100, though. Yeah, I think it does like 105 downhill. Yeah.

Which is kind of probably what we said. We're like probably 100, dude. I don't know. Yeah. So sure enough, Jake. Pop, tops it out at 100 or whatever it does. Jake posts a Snapchat of how fast we're going. Hands back to the whole crew.

Look at the whole crew. And my dad just calls me and goes, turn around right now. I was like, why? I saw Jake is speeding and mom's car going 100. That is incredibly reckless and disrespectful. Turn around right now. And we had to turn that thing around and come home. That was after we had already checked into the hotel.

And we were at the U.S. Bank. And we were like, oh, damn it. That is a moment where I had my tail between my legs. Jake was like, I'm sorry, guys. Literally, I'm like, I messed up. It was tough because, like, none of us knew what to say. Like, we were a little being young and reckless that we were. We were a little upset that they were telling us to come home.

We were a little upset at Jake for going that fast. But then he's like, dude, you guys. You were egging them on. Yeah, 100%. And, yeah, we had to go home. You're right in that. like middle age of like childhood, teenagerhood, where you think you can do whatever you want,

but you can't. And it sucks when someone tells you you can't do it. And so we had a hard time. We can do it now. We can do it now. But now we're smart enough not to, thank God. Yeah. Yeah.

Now Jake's like, yo, should I go 100? And everyone's like, no. Sitting in the back like, no, absolutely. Don't do that. It's funny. Right before I came here, I texted Ryan.

I was on the way back from Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving with my mom, and we had a long straightaway. I'm like, I've never topped out my Raptor. Let's see how fast they can go. We're doing 141 in my Raptor. My mom was loving it. She's like, I didn't think a pickup can go this fast. How are you going 140 on a pickup?

It's a super charge. That's amazing. Yeah, it's, well, so when they obviously tune them, it's got like no speed limiter or anything. And I was literally just holding it to the wood. I'm like, I'm not letting off till this thing stops. 141. That thing was screaming.

Yeah, it sounded good. That it did. Yeah, we can do it some. time you guys want to clean it out i'll take your word for it really do have uh it's it's it's saturday and all like the boys are you know kind of just hanging out having fun we haven't seen each other for a while dude i think almost all of us have been on like a pretty good health kick lately and i don't think we've ever done that taking ice bass taking sanas going to the gym like we're all saying each other i think this is the first time we all like

trying to take care of ourselves yeah well i've kind of been forced to and i'm just i'm in the same honestly you got i'm in the middle of the table here and Jake, the people he just talked about, I do not belong in that group. I don't, dude. I don't. I think it's just us for. We're in our own group.

Yeah. For real, though, I agree with you. The ice baths have been insane. You guys doing those, the saunas, the, yeah, a little bit of working out. Better diet. Better diet, but as we're drinking right now. Yeah.

We don't drink that much anymore, though. At least I don't. My problem is it's been the like two to three beers a night around the shop. Gavin will be like, hey man have a beer it's like six o'clock you know it got an hour left to work and i'm like yeah i'll have one and then i have one hanging out when i go and then one when i get home with dinner i'm like damn i'm three three coolers lights a night that ain't good for a guy but i have been taking ice pass to offset it so i don't know if that exactly i don't think it works at all but i just like

i got like i don't know i'm a full believer in now because like i do you hear what you just said i don't think it works at all no i'm saying like a full believer no no just just for like the like the health side like I've been in such a better mood and like I feel like interacting with like you guys too and like Cody and like I just been laughing and having so much fun lately and I think it's good I think it's great yeah well you've been really stepping up the baths too you haven't even just done them in like a normal tub you've been jumping in the lake you guys have to come do it with me I will tell you what it is like next level this sucks brutal man I took one yesterday in the lake so it's like 32 degrees because

the lake is is should be frozen but it's windy So it was, you know, wasn't able to freeze over. Brutal, brutal pain. Did your muscles start, like, pulsing? Oh, bro, started, like, seeing a hallway. Yeah, really. It's worse going in the lake, though, because you got to, like, walk out there. It's like, you can't just hop in.

Yeah. But, dude, you guys is like, weeds and dirt and stuff. Shivers afterwards are just unparalleled. Like, I mean, you guys, when you're cold, you get you shiver, but when you're that cold, you're just like, I can't even do it, but just like, like, your teeth are going to break. because you're shivering so hard. I think we should do it. All of us.

Yeah, I agree. But Ken, I'd do it. Let's do it. No. Why not Ken? Why would Ken make himself uncomfortable? That was like a hard no.

That was a hard no. I hate ice baths, but then you got me fired up. I'm like, yeah, yeah, let's do it. Ken, no way. Let's do it together.

Come on, Ken. It'll be fun. I think I'd do it one time and I'd be like, fuck this. That's all we need. That's all we need.

We're just asking this one time. Three minutes. Yeah, we'll go cut a hole in tomorrow in the lake. We'll do it tomorrow in the light. Or we at least filming it. Sure. Oh, is that all you care about now? Just for fun, Ken.

I'm leaving the camera at home just because of that comment. I was going to have it be a little bit, but no. Dude, it is funny how much of like a social trend ice baths are. Yeah, how does that happen, man? That's so interesting. Like, everyone just starts talking about it, but like, it's not like it's some new technology or no. It's the most simplest form of, like, you know. It does probably date way back.

I literally have, like, gained friends because of it. It's like, oh, you do that? So we, like, start bonding over that. And then it's just something that, like, it literally is like a cult. Dude. So I came across this video of this guy. He lives in the coldest city in the world. What is it?

I think it was like, no, no. It was like kind of near, like, Russia or maybe it was in Russia. It was like one of those areas. He takes an ice bath every morning and, like, they have this, like, whole cut open or whatever. But it, like, is icing over before. they can even like get in it's like crazy crazy but yeah he does it like every day and then when he gets out it's like you know it's like life or death type it's so cold he has to have like mittens on all this it's but yeah anyways because the skin would freeze in like seconds yeah it was

interesting you feel like you're tolerant to the cold now absolutely but if you like miss a day or two you're right back to where you were like you got to stay you got to stay consistent like i remember like me and cody didn't do for a week and we went in the lake and we look at each other and like, this is effed. Like, it was painful. You feel like you're going to pass out. To succeed in the future of work, forward thinkers use AI to deliver measurable results. Workday is the AI platform for HR and finance that frees you from the mundane so you can focus on more meaningful work.

Workday, moving business forever forward. Why do you guys think it's become such a trend? Obviously, everyone's talking about it. And now everyone's like, like, how many new businesses have started up that are selling ice baths? You know, and there's such a wide range of it from, like, I'm trying to the, like, most basic, just, like, inflatable to, like, a $10,000 tub that has, like, a filtration and, like, you know, yeah. I literally think it's no different than, like, any trend that starts as, like, a TikTok.

It just blows up. People start doing it. That's why I started it. I'm like, oh, yeah, it seems healthy, blah, blah, blah. I think, like, health is kind of a trend in itself right now. Yeah. Yeah, people nowadays are much more health conscience, like, got, whoop bands like everyone like actually values their it seems like they value their health a lot more

and like they care about what they're eating and i don't know it just seems like it's just not a bad it's no it's not but it's just maybe people are it's becoming more popular to be healthy i think more people that are you know have a lot of polar talking about it and doing it too socially because i think it's cool and yeah and now everyone wants to try it but that's where i was going with that story with the coldest city this guy had been doing it for like 40 years so it's like way before it was a trend you know and And he did it every day. At Thanksgiving, we were talking about that with my grandparents in the nursing home.

And my grandma was like, oh, if you get cold, you'll get sick. Yeah. And I was like, that's such an interesting thought that if you were to go outside without a jacket, normally people would be like, you're going to catch a cold. I don't think that's how you get sick, though. No. This is going to come out when they're like, oh, cigarettes are good for you, you know? I don't think that'll ever come out.

No, no, that was back in the 60s. And like, cigarettes are good for you. And then now this is going to come out. out and be like, yeah, people, it's bad for you because it, like, raises your heart. You really have to be, imagine, careful. It's bad for your balls. You have to be careful with your claims.

That's why you quit jerking off. No, no, no. It wasn't by choice. No, it was out of demand. Can we get over this? I don't jerk it? Come on. You still don't.

No. Why would he do these? Got my ex-girlfriend. I walked into that. Okay, no. Can we, can we get over this? The fact that I don't jerk off. As long as you're not jerk.

off, I'm not getting over it. What's the big deal? You talked about it more than anyone I know. Jerking it? You just brought it up. No, I didn't. You did it. Yeah, we get it.

The world knows you don't jerk, man. Dude, shout out to those people that had my back still, dude. I'm not. Still just don't understand that one. Yeah, you never will, but. You got to join his little gang. Yeah. It'll come called.

It's fine. Sorry. You know who did have my bag? Oh my gosh. You're sick. All right, I got, I got some of it. Mike's trying to change the subject real quick. He pulls up a video of it.

He's like, I was there. It's either third or four. You guys really are close. Yeah, we, we, we, there are no boundaries. Okay, CJ, so like, speaking of what you said with the ice bath thing, how many businesses are coming up about it and making like inflatable is just just trying to capitalize. So you guys smart, honestly, it's very smart. But now it's saturated because I'm getting ads from all over the place. And that's, I think the problem that I'm going to bring up here with this is that it's so.

saturated and it just gets more saturated until something bad happens not saying that so you guys remember like the bikes that uh you you know like i'm trying to think of the name like lime scooters whatever bird scooters then there's also the ride share bikes so in china that trend hit so hard that everyone was like they made millions of bikes and then they put them in the city and there was so many bikes and there were so many bikes getting broken that they just um you know they would just get broken they didn't know what to do with them So they just make bike graveyards. This is one of many bike graveyards in China. You make all those bikes and then electric scooters come out? There's like a million bikes in this graveyard. Like I just blew my mind. And yeah, they said it was part of a trend. So now guess what business is booming?

Fucking scrap. Scrap's always been booming. I swear, man. Can you imagine a scrap company getting a hold of all these? They'd be like, let's go. Dude, give you a couple hundred bucks. Couldn't believe it. Yeah.

I saw the same thing. and thought it was extremely shocking because it is. But also, if this was cars, imagine how much space it would take. They have the state of New fucking Mexico. That's got to be a million bikes. Did they outlaw lime scooters? You haven't, I haven't seen them lately. Like, they were everywhere.

Yeah, they kind of died off. And so you guys have experienced it here in the States. Like, the scooters kind of just get like, they get mangled. They just get shucked on the side of the curb. And so the broken ones are just sitting there. Typical Americans. The city officials or someone. has to go remove them.

It just littered all over the place. And they don't care about them. They don't have to pay for them. They go chuck them into a graveyard. It just blows my mind. My first Lyme experience was horrible. It was with you guys in Washington. We're having so much fun, dude.

No, don't you remember? Yes, I remember you crashed. Why was it so bad? Oh, you crashed? I might crashed. No, I like dropped off a curb. Like, so you know how sidewalks go down and then they come back up? I went down and I thought there was like a get back on.

I hit the thing and just straight. heart wheel like just straight ass over tea kettle on the bars a scooter's a hard thing to crash on there's no way in that position you're so vulnerable like a skateboard you're kind of sideways you get your feet underneath you but in a scooter you're like lined up square with your hands right here it doesn't even make any sense you're driving to a wall no freaking win in there if you crash a scooter you're just an idiot the lime scooters probably claimed a lot of bodies yeah i'd imagine a lot of people who shouldn't exactly be on a scooter we're getting on a scooter that's You know, like, it's like they're there for a business trip.

They're like, well, this is what we're taking over to the convention center. And then you hop on and wrecked. Dude who hasn't ridden a bike or a scooter in like 20 years. Or just flat out isn't that, you know, doesn't have the skill for it. And those things go pretty fast, you know, so it'd be easy to just. Like what? 15, probably. Yeah, I mean, that's pretty fast.

Fast thing you can run out of concrete. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're not built for it either. Because that's the thing. I mean, we're fairly used to and probably many people who listen are riding things, you know, whether it be a dirt, or something powerful that they're in control of.

But you throw someone who lives in New York, who hasn't even driven in years, and you throw them on a scooter. Well, it's also somebody who has no hand-eye coordination between using your wrist to, like, go. That's when you get a whiskey throttle. Yeah. Did we just subtly talk about shit on Jake this whole time

about not being coordinated? We know him. No, I wasn't saying that. He just did it because he was pushing it too far. They should have put quad thumbs on him. that's why he messed up yeah he wasn't used to the twist throttle yeah that's true some actually do that makes sense so people don't whiskey throttle yeah for the you know the specialer people get those ones yeah dude you guys got any like major like it's going to be 20 25 that's kind of crazy

you got any major goals that's not i mean it's going to be 20 24 you're right it's it is weird to think that it's going to be 20 24 though do we have any what though like goals like if you guys like thought about like okay when this year hits i want to achieve this like yeah i guess i have that every single year but i try and be as like realistic with it as possible not just like the basic ass like work out more and like you know the the things that are so easy to quit but as far as like growth for you know business wise or like things that we can actually make a difference of our control yeah controllable big thing and uh no but i did start a list of of just like bucket list things that i want to do i think we're so lucky to be in

position of like the bigger that we can dream you know the more we can do because it's our line of work as long as we just make it entertaining yeah and uh you know make a good video out of it i felt like you know the the videos have gotten bigger and bigger and bigger but you gets to a point where i even think like man where do we go from here like how do these continue to go so i've just tried to like continue to think of like the places that I've wanted to go and the things that I've wanted to do there that would just be a bucket list thing and one day hopefully we can make it happen and bring the entire squad along and yeah make a video out of it so I've just like I have like a list of a bunch of different things I'll read a couple of them off like drive 150 down

the audubin in Germany yeah that'd be sick uh only 150 though I'd imagine it being like an R8 or something if you're going to be in Germany you can do that out of here. Yeah. Yeah. Through Audubin. He got in his Raptor on his way here.

Come on, let's have a better goal than that, dude. All right. At least do 200. Number one, stupid. Let's just check that.

Keep dreaming, buddy. Yeah. Let's just do something different. Skydive with an R6. That's solid. Get wicked wine drunk on a wine tour in France. Ooh.

Solid. I could see that. Drink beer at a pub in Chicago on St. Patty's Day. Hey, so we're learning Ben's like, I want to black out. Oh, whoa, go dog sledding in Alaska.

That'd be safe. Okay. We're learning Ben's 2024 goals involve a lot of traveling. Love that. Yeah, that is sweet. I'd love to go to Alaska with you guys. Love to go to Europe. Cam, what was your bucket list item that you wanted to do in the Fargo Inc thing?

Go to Antarctica. Yeah, we're going to buy Kent a one-way ticket. A one-way trip and send them with a GoPro. One GoPro and a stick. Well, they have like cruise ships that go to Antarctica. Antarctica. They do like little day trip excursion things. You're not like thinking hot.

We'll meet you in the middle. He'll be laying up on a on a beach chair with a little pinocalada. That sounds weird doing that in Antarctica, but I can picture it on his cruise, though. It's different. Ken, I would love to just watch you third person. And when I say it like that, just like when you go and do your thing without any of the guys around, like what are you doing? Like let's say you're going to Europe.

I would love to just like follow you. He would love to know what he's doing in Europe, wouldn't he? Yeah, with your girlfriend, your ex-girlfriend? My ex-what? Oh, Ken! There's a trickle-down everything, dude. Man, yeah. There's some more beef going on.

We have a squads her out here. She can attest, we did nothing. Uh-huh. That's what they all say. That's what they all say until the truth comes out. Until you find out the kid's not yours. Ken, going into, you know, having goals for the next year, do you have any goals about, you know,

Maybe quitting anything you've been doing? Vaping. No, I really don't. Ken's not trying to change shit as he cracks another beer. I like the way I am. Well, I have something for you. An early Christmas game. I can already tell you no.

He's like, don't even want it, brother. You don't want the gifts? I like put a lot of time and thought into this. All right, what's his gift? Oh. Oh, it's a box. Oh. This is Benz is actually killing me.

What is this? That is an antique anima kit from 1920. German actually. Used. Oh. Damn. So the reason, Kenney, you're receiving this game. gift is there was an old strategy when you maybe caught your kid smoking cigarettes or something

like that. You would make him smoke a pack. And when he smoked a pack of cigarettes. Exactly. You were trying to make him stop because he would overdose on the thing and it wouldn't be fun anymore. And then I did further research and I figured out that in the early 1700s there used to be tobacco enema and it would actually reduce your cravings for tobacco.

So I figured, you know, modern times You can equip your vape to that And that enema kit He's going to start puffing up his ass He's going to get a real buzz He's going to start blowing smoke up his own ass Oh my gosh Yeah, this is I

Can we see the packaging please? It is literally falling apart as I touch it Yeah, it's had a lot of use can It's been up a lot of anus I mean, it's a hundred and three years old It was 20 bucks But because it broke when she was packaging it We got it for free

Can we see the box, please? It came with the box, right? Oh, yeah, here we go. I'm confused where you were going with that, Ryan. Dude, what? Oh, that's gross, man. First of all, that was an antique from 1920 Germany. It's the Ingram Perfects Enema.

That's nice. I actually just heard about these. It's from Native Americans. Ryan, I didn't know where you were going with that. Like, you're like, you know, like to stop someone from doing something. You're like really doing it hard at the start. Yeah. I text Ryan before this podcast and I'm like, anything I should prepare for?

He's like, oh, just think of some stuff you want to talk about. And I got Ken a gift. Not expecting this at all. Well, yeah. So the tobacco animals were really big in the 1700s. That's to stop you from smoking? I think it was also for when you were insane. Oh, they thought like, oh, let's stick something up his ass.

That'll clear him up. Yep. I mean they also Someone's going nuts fucking sticks Something up their ass That'll calm them down That calms me Imagine that you're freaking out

Someone comes and they hold you down Shubs them to your ass He's going crazy Get him in the institution Oh my gosh It was a medical treatment employed by European physicians For a range of ailments

That thing lasted a hundred years Until Ken touched it for three seconds It also broke that motherfucker It would be a double whammy for Ken since he has belly aches it does uh that's actually that you're getting somewhere it is used to treat gut pain and was often made to resuscitate victims of near drowning oh that's interesting yeah wow so uh really odd thing but i figured that uh by using it it it might help you quit no now he's

just pissed off yeah and he just wants to vape a little more he's just stressed too right he just Dirty hands, got a little bit of 100-year-old shit on I didn't wash my hands He puts it in his mouth He's not touching that shit You should have told him it was a pipe or something And then after you go Just kidding

It's an end of a kid From a hundred years ago He's sucking on it That true story The lady was gonna charge us 20 bucks And then it broke So we got it for free But I think that's the end that goes

You should send her a message You should say It still works great Try it He loves it I put all the pieces of my ass or just one of them. Yeah, it's just goes.

Four pieces. You're going to get some nasty old disease. I'd like to think that it's sanitized, but I love how like, oh, it broke. No, like, as soon as Ken touched it, it disintegrated. Well, Ken, is there anything that you didn't want nothing to do with Ken's ass?

Once again, you guys have the worst gifts that you can possibly give. You're just continuing the streak. He's thinking about your health. He's trying every option at this point. Yeah, Ken, that's true. He's even going to be like, He's even going alternative natural with it.

That's going to get you some kind of old-timey disease that nobody's had for like 60 years. Ken gets polio. Let's say it hadn't broke. I think the only way you can actually tell Ryan that you hate it is after you try it. Because of Ryan. Because of Ryan. Then you have an excuse to get mad. But until then, no.

Again, what's a big deal, bro? I got polio. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, that's... Beautiful gift, Ryan. Hey, good times with you, Jake, man. Dude, thank you. We have anything else?

I feel like we're rolling. Yeah, I mean, I'm down to keep going. Yeah. Yeah, I honestly, just kidding. No, we should keep going. You know why? Cody said something to me the other day that really struck home. There's going to be a point in time where we're going to be like, man,

remember like the good old days or remember this. We're living them right now. Like this moment. I mean, I disagree. Why would you say that? It's all up, man. You got to keep going on. Jake's a peak type of guy.

No, I peaked in high school, bro. Dude, that's what Jim used to say in high school. He'd look over at all his high school buddies and be like, yo, this is the tippy top right now. Fuck, that's bad fire. I agree, though. It is cool to be able to have like all this stuff on, I mean, on record of us. Like, most people don't have days and days. I mean, we got months of footage of years probably of, you know, I mean, the last decade.

When we're all in an old person's home, I don't think. think there's enough life left to watch all the footage that's been filmed yeah like i think about that sometimes we have so much footage on these hard drives i'm like no one's ever like once you edit for the video you'll watch the video back but you're never going to go back and watch the raw footage unless you need to grab some yeah i know i was thinking about that i do love having it but also like hey i'm i'm down to die trying when we're like 40 or like 50 there'll be a doc on Netflix i'm trying to produce it but i don't think i'm going to be the guy for the job but it's a it's a dream of fine, like to do a documentary.

I just watched this. I just watched this documentary on the American Gladiator show. And like they had all the people on there, like 50 now. If you were to watch just our podcast alone, just assuming some of them are longer, some of them are shorter, but just an hour and a half, hour and 30 minutes, it would take you seven straight days. Wow. That's pretty short. So for videos, let's see, we have 450 videos times 15 minutes on average. let's just say a video that would be uh 67 that was a minute now divide that by 60 and you get

into hours well that's only four and four days yeah but right but you know what i guess that's a long time here's a thing 10 years of footage in four days yeah math can't add up that rookie numbers what's going on everyone listening to this is like yeah you do we ain't done yet no i'm excited for the year end uh review video every year we dropped like a year recap and the last couple videos or last couple years that we've done it have people love them like the 2021 video has like eight million views it's just so easy to put it on and just every tune in tune in every 30 seconds there's a new bit that you completely and it's like the highlight real too so it's always like the best stuff yeah my mom always told me that everybody would make the documentary but she said

I don't know if anybody's going to write a book about it, so you should take notes and write a book. I love that. She definitely understood that you guys are much more talented at making the video, putting a video together, but she's like, but you can read. Yeah,

you got that on them. You got the leg up on all of us there. I heard you wrote a book, Ryan. When are you making the audio book. Can you imagine someone just actually assuming that, being like, yeah, Ben and CJ kill it on the videos. Like, so do you come in after and do the captions? You should

You can barely spell half of the words Could Oh bro, I gotta talk about that too I made some stuff for the merch drop Oh We haven't talked about this yet I made a new product Yeah that you guys would have been stoked on

And I Fucking spelled Lucky Lucky wrong EY So how many of these Like things do we have That are just like

Garbage now basically 350 350 dice shakers With dice It happened But I think the worst part is, and I actually regret saying this, CJ, I want to apologize. So you're right. I mean, you and CJ do spell some shit wrong in the videos every once in a while.

Like, it's not, by any means, not every video. And I'm like, CJ, you spelled quiet wrong. And I was like, why did I even say anything? You know, like seriously, because your mistake, some people go, oh, he spelled quiet wrong. Whoever edited this spelled quiet wrong. My mistake costs, you know, $2,900. That's all right. Because, I mean, you make a bunch of shit.

Yeah. We write a lot of captions, though. You've got to think about that. It's pretty easy. And we're on a fucking time crunch. We're typing these motherfuckers out. That's kind of what it was. Changing the color of them and all that.

So when we first got a screen printer way, way, way back in the day, like seven years ago, we went to this kid that had like this hat brand. And we're like, hey, we'll make you some shirts. And so Mike made this design. And it was like established in 2019 or something. 16. And I have a shirt still. So established in 2016.

and Mike made up the art and we printed the shirts and we were going to sell the shirts for I think $800 and it cost us $400 so we were going to make $400 on it and then buy something with it. Got done printing the whole line, sent it off to him and he was like,

yeah, you put like established in 16 feet versus established in the year 16. You know, the dash. Yeah, yeah. And we were like, no. We're like, well, do you still want them? And they're like, well, if you, print them correctly yeah we'll take them so that it cost us another 400 bucks and we made no money on

it very first very first time that we ever had a client had a customer paying for t-shirts and we fucking misspelled it and i think the worst part but you you did it and i printed it and neither of us caught it i think that's the worst part there's no one to blame um besides the person who created the art the person who typed those words out there's actually no one to blame but them but it is insane it goes to production it goes to oh those shirts look good well nothing's worse when you only have yourself to blame i agree i think those were some of my favorite memories of screen printing in ken's garage because like oh my my job was just to watch the drive a little gun and i'm like but you were still putting in your time i think about that often though

like we were all there yeah everyone here has put in their freaking time like how much time we put in building just to get to where we're at like we were doing literally every little miniscule job every job that that it takes to run this operation we've done so funny to think back to that too and Jake would get bored and he'd come over and you'd be like you think you can print on my back yeah yeah probably but then we're gonna have to dry it on you so we'd print your back and then try and burn my skin dude I mean again it's like with anything like little dudes with any sort of equipment ever you got to try it out we were like printing on your boxers dude i still have all that stuff you got off you didn't burn it

no okay oh yeah we were just went to jakes shop the other day and he has a burnt hat yeah okay so i was gonna tell you guys that i uh all the stuff i burnt were all duplicates i actually kept i have every single piece of piece of merch from the day we started to the day i left in a huge long tube. Every single t-shirt. That's a very odd choice. It's like a big sock sling. Can we get one?

Can we get those? Yeah, I'll bring them over for sure. I was going to get them to you guys the first podcast along with I have the check that I wrote with the credit card with the credit card. Oh, that's funny. But it's funny. The reason I was thinking of the t-shirt thing, Ben came over the other day to get oh, the camera for when you guys were doing Ken's bit and there was like two screens on

the wall and it was like the first screens we ever made. So when I like left, I bought a screen printer and we like printed our first line i'm like this sucks i'm like i don't miss this at all and so the screen printer uh i gave it away to some kid or whatever kept screens but yeah we definitely weren't doing it right but like we were honestly having a lot of fun if we were smarter we would have done it a whole nother we would have gone a different way with it but uh like i just remember all we did basically from when we started filming videos and saw a little bit of success it was just like we worked that's it We were just working in some degree, whether we're filming or printing or shipping orders,

but we were just always working. Like, it was always something. I think back. But it was fun. It was so much fun. I think back to the printing days of like, man, it was such a waste of time, but it gave us a reason to stick with it. That's a good way of.

Like, we were still just like sticking with it because we were like, oh, we can print these shirts and we can make a little bit of money. And we're still doing something. and think back we could have been like doing nothing that weekend and then and then if we weren't printing shirts Ryan would have been out of you know college party well i remember i would get together i would like skip uh like school and i would just stay at the shop like you know because we'd live in fargo with the school but i was like fuck this i'd like go down on like a tuesday and stay all the way till friday and i'd just it'd just be like me and mike there sometimes and i would just like be logging the

hours because we'd get paid for our hour like 10 bucks an hour we'd allocate for like shipping orders and it would take so long to like fulfilled orders because our op just the way we were running it wasn't that efficient i'd like log you know seven hours of just like acting and then i'd like yeah then i'd go sit on the couch like maybe play a little bit Xbox or like edit something and then go to bed and do it again and i felt like i was like yep yeah made 70 bucks there like we're doing it i think there was some because we just had to such an untypical approach so it was nice to you had something like a normal job exactly that's what was so good about having the merch in-house earlier is it gave us all a job to start at early

and right you guys are right man did we fucking cry we'd be over at ken's uncle's shop until four yeah four or five in the morning we just keep going around we just i mean it was just the youthful energy that we had towards it but also you wouldn't leave because like you're like i'm not going to go if they're going to keep going to go. Yeah, I'm not going to be the guy that call it quit because then I'm going to look like I'm like not a hard worker or something. So then you'd stay and then almost everyone just like pushed it. Most people probably thinking it in the back of their head like, gosh, I don't know, I'd like to go home.

But then we're like, well, I'm not leaving. So then you just stay till freaking five. But then you hit the 3 a.m. delusion where everything was funny, dude. Yes. I don't know if it was the fumes from the ink and the dryer that wasn't ventilated or whatever, dude. But we would just start cackling at not funny things and just had the time of our life. Going to Dilworth.

Yeah. Fucking deal with. We would order pizza from Zorbas. I was going to say that was like to payout. Oh my God. But it was actually like it was like the payout, but it was. We would order pizza and we get like, dude, should we get like three largest? Like everybody eats tonight.

Yeah. Yeah, we'd show up with the pizza and it was just like, this is the life. Yeah. Well, you were thinking, at least what I was saying is, like, I didn't even spend my own money on this food. But, like, granted, it was like the still technically our money. But, yeah, you, like, looked at it that way. Not only did you get paid $10 an hour, but you also got the free pizza. It was like, it was some serious benefits at the time.

I tell you what, you get Zarbis for free. You're like, dude, there's some Gucci stuff going on right now. Man, I forgot that we used to do the hourly thing. Everyone would have to log their hours. send it to me once a month. Yep. Dude, everyone would get a check for $450.

You meant that's a big check, though. Like, we were dialed. What we were. My point, though, with all that, though, is like, it didn't just get to this point where we're at. We had to put the time in, and it wasn't like, oh, it was just like, you know, you had to work your way up the ladder.

There was nothing cool about it either. There really wasn't. You were getting made fun of by your peers because it was like the videos aren't necessarily popping and for they weren't that good also we're you know whatever it's just not that cool like you got to just get you got to fucking put your time in and and then for most people honestly doesn't even pay off so like it's just kind of how it goes you know dude if anything it just like almost like taught me from like my next venture of what needs to be done versus like basically like the grind of it

you know like how like the process of it like i'll never forget those days for as long as i live like that's like you remember something like that was like a iconic moment of just like man it started there and it can turn into like the top yeah right but even now like all of us are like still grinding oh it's just a different different clawing at the next every it's like the next many things it just really doesn't stop so i mean it's just part of it like it really doesn't get any easier never does never if anything it only gets harder because now it's like you got more going on yeah if yeah we thought those were like the most brutal days ever the amount of moving parts now.

If you were to give us our job now, then, bro, we'd be like to. You weren't prepared for it. You weren't prepared for it. You can't just get thrown into it. You'd be like, I don't know what to do here. I remember this is my favorite part. You remember we had the stampers that said like packaged by Ryan. Packaged by Ryan.

Yeah. The reason why we did that is because people were fucking up on orders. That's me, baby. That's like, oh. And it was cool, though, because when you'd stamp that, then they're like, wow, like, Like, they hit that. Ben packaged my order. It is so cool that it still comes out of our shopping.

It does. Ken's touching the orders. 85% of them. Touching them with, you know, the wrong way. A lot of products removing through here. No, dude,

yeah, I mean, it is, it is cool. We could have outsourced that shit a long time ago and the fact that, we did.

We did outsource it and we brought it back in-house. I heard that. Yeah, it's like, it's all going through the shop and it's just incredible. That's cool.

Ken, you're killing it, for real. It Ken manages. Yeah. Yeah, Ken's got a lot of load on them. Honestly, I was thinking about that. I mean, everyone's got their own, you know, area that they take it on.

But, yeah, no, Ken, great job, man. Great job. Or I think everyone takes on the same amount of stress and load, give or take. But in completely different areas. Like, if I tried to do what Ken does and go, like, send out orders and get everything rolling, it would have a connipion. No one would get anything. Yeah, whatever that means.

Sounds bad. Some days I want to throw my head in a blender And other days it's fine And other days, yeah, it's awesome I will say one thing that you were always good at back then And just recently, you proved it still, you still are today Ben was so good at like pushing buttons And getting me to do stuff

To where I'd be like, well, I can do that I'll prove him wrong The other day he'd like there was a Costco size pie He's like you can't eat the whole thing I'm like, yeah I can't I totally can Well this is no you said oh my god i love pumpkin pie i bet i could eat that whole thing and me being realistic i said no you can't do it do it no i just said i just said you can't do that because it is humanly

impossible and i didn't want to but then you twisted a little bit and you kept going you're like just do it just do it just try just try and then you're like i'll give you a hundred bucks i said i'll give you a hundred bucks and you said uh no it's not worth it i said all right how about this i'll give you 300 bucks if you do it but if you fail you have to send me the very first video that you made with, uh, with your producer. Oh my gosh, you have it? Do it. Yes, I want to watch it.

That was the craziest fucking bet ever. No, that's an amazing. We went back to this, the hundred dollars, but I tell you what. I was looking at that pie, had a slice at Thanksgiving dinner. There's no way I could eat more than two slices. Do you guys think I did three quarters? Yeah, I think you probably did roughly three quarters of a pumpkin pie. That was an Excel.

And then through a thousand calories. You didn't throw up. six thousand calories you guys you didn't like throw up nearly that much dude but when i did it was like whole pieces of because you had no liquid in your stomach it had been digested it was it wasn't a good consistency and then i was eating it thinking about you throwing it up and it ruined it from yeah my bad guess what had thanksgiving there was pumpkin pie and apple apple it was dude i couldn't do it how did you feel after that you guys don't understand i was laying in bed I was up until maybe 3 a.m.

in literal pain. Like, I was laying flat out. My stomach looked like it had a, like a basketball in it. Why do you do that? Because I told you that was going to happen. He made me do it. No, he didn't make you do it. He just,

I just said you can't do it because it's not humanly possible. Right. And I'm like, you're right. And then you go, but I'll give you 100 bucks if you try. Still said no. And then you're like, how about 300?

And then, Oh, okay. Well, that's like me a little bit of a benefit. I didn't know that time it went. It's not like I made you do it. It was just a good question. I mean, bet. Yeah.

But if you would have successfully done it, I would have given you the $100. I know, and I didn't. One time I went a lot of pox. There is a lot of bets going on around here. That's how it goes. I dead ass think if it ever happens again.

But when I was at like my peak eating element, just chubby is all A.F. I think I could have finished it. Dude. Yeah. No way. That reminds me at our one million party when Evan was here. And he was saying,

we had this whole thing of Coleslaw and he was like saying, He thinks he could eat the whole thing And I was like, there's no fucking chance He's the same situation And then it was like Everyone chipped in money It was like a thousand bucks If he could eat this whole thing of coleslaw

And he ate like Maybe a one tenth Two tenth of it And then threw up all over Yeah As we expect I feel like I have a very relatable That was before he was even here

Remember when you tried to eat the roadhouse burger My dad was talking about that Because I brought it up at Thanksgiving dinner Yeah Jake tried to eat this whole pie by himself And he goes didn't he try to eat the burger challenge at the local bar? And I was like, yep, he did. Did they still do that?

No, they don't, but they used to have a, this would have been so legendary. So they used to be at our, like, local bar. There was a giant plaque on the wall, and they called it the Roadhouse Burger. It was two pounds of meat, a patty, the size of a plate. So it was patty, lettuce, tomato, onion rings, burger patty, patty, patty. And a pound of fries. Yeah, it was, it was basically a Big Mac, but made into pound patties in between. Okay.

And then there was like a whole heaping. plate of fries. Two pounds of meat. That's a ton of meat. And I wanted my name up there. That's so bad. And like one day I went in and I'm like, I'm going to do it. I'm going to order it.

And he's like, no, sorry, it's done. Basically like in my experience of bets being made on, I bet you can't eat all of this, it almost never gets accomplished. There's just no winning. Like, yeah, you'll get the money, which I guess is the win. But then it's like, the aftermath, dude, you're just like, shit. Leave a comment down below what either you or one of your buddies, like the craziest eating challenge that you've ever done.

I would love to know, like, I bet you there's been some gnarly stuff. I wonder if the blazing wings would still be crazy hot for us. They are. Yes. They'd have to be obviously very hot. I ate one the other day and I was like, damn, this is like. So are you still eating hot stuff after your appendix or did you quit?

Because you and me are on, I mean, I still am. I love like hot stuff, like very hot, like spicy, whatever. Yeah. I mean, between the appendix and then I got this disease. It's called SIBO after my appendix surgery, which was two months ago. Sebo TiVo. Sebo Tevis. So between my surgery and then SIBO.

That's so damn close. Like three letters away. That's bananas. I'm sorry. Cibot Ti-O. What is it? Don't make fun of his disease. Yeah, you're right.

It stands for small intestine bacteria overgrowth. It's common after like stomach surgeries. Oh, okay. and um so it's yeah so like i like went on like a super shitty diet like i quit drinking besides for Vegas but um quit drinking for like two months shitty ass diet where it's just a carnivore diet like literally just steak and eggs lost like 10 or 15 pounds doing it still feel like shit i cut out spice and and i don't know if i could like go back to it the obviously the level that i was at before but like every single thing i ate up and

tell my appendix surgery had hot sauce on it. Yeah. Every single thing that shouldn't have hot sauce on it, I would put it on everything. The reason why I ask is because Justin was like us for the longest time and we were all, like all three of us put hot sauce on everything. Justin was really on a kick. He'd bring the hot sauce to a restaurant like. Yeah, like a little lunchbox.

Yeah. Then his appendix burst. So like that's the only thing. I mean, I don't know if there's really any correlation, but from my experience with my surroundings of appendix burst people that maybe it might be connection to hot sauce and putting it on everything they don't say they don't say that it is but they they don't have enough proof i mean how do you prove that yeah they don't taste connected to anything so it makes me a little worried i'm like man maybe i should dial it back on the hot sauce because you got you got you got hot sauce is good

i think i think when you get so hot with it it's just not good for you but it's almost like an addiction you know like your tolerance gets a little more and you kind of get addicted to that that feeling like totally you know like totally and uh because i used to hate it but now it's like you just kind of always want up it a little bit speaking of random amazon purchases i ordered the hop you're speaking of that but no but we were last podcast so if you didn't like watch that go watch and you'll know what we're talking about you don't remember a year ago we were talking about amazon so speaking of that you know recently I just group like the last 10 years of our relationship. I ordered the hot ones challenge and I want to like do it with a group of you guys.

It's all 10 of them. We should do that on like a pod. Yeah. I think next time I come on, I'll bring it. I have all of them. And like I open the last one and it smells like death. Yeah. Because it's a what's the bomb.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which we used to eat DeBomb all the time around here. So do you guys think, do you remember 357 that my dad bought? Do you think DeBomb is worse than that? or do you think 3.507 was bad. There's a point when it's uneditable, though.

Like, it's not even disgusting. We can just still do it. I think, no, I think doing, next time you're on the pod, let's do, we'll do a little hot wings lineup. Yeah. The worst video bit that we've ever filmed today, everyone will agree with this. Worst one that made it to air.

Yeah, that made it to air. There's been several things that have never made it to air. Yes. For a reason. This one was, it was probably just a, like, cold-ass winter, and we were just trying to think, one more bit to put in a video and we were like, what if we did like hot ones but with our girlfriends

and then the winner, the winner got 500 bucks. We never thought about what the, like how it would take to win besides one person making it to the end. They were fighting to the nail. So like we're doing this hot ones and we're putting, we're putting like little dabbles on it and each one had to get bigger and bigger. And like the first one they were crying at, but they were like,

oh, next one. We're like, okay, hotter one. Oh my God. I hate you guys so much. Like, they were, like, actually, like, live it at us. But we were like, yo, you want to stop. We were like, yes, I personally don't, like, they were in it, man. Like, I don't think they took it as hard as we, we just felt bad about it.

Yeah. I don't think the girls were that mad about it. Because they were, like, all, like, crying at the end, but they still wouldn't, like, quit. Who won? Well, when you eat a lot of hot sauce, your eyes do start to water. We've had a lot of, we've had a lot of bad bits, though. I mean, I, I, I oftentimes sometimes think I'm like, why did we even add that we would have been better off just not even doing anything and just cutting it short like i look at even at the armpit

waxing and maybe you guys feel the uh indifferent about it but or the audience but uh i'm like man maybe it would have been better off not doing anything i don't know it's tough you got to have some else to get some good w's yeah it's all part of the you were talking about earlier how do we do bigger and better i know you didn't say it quite like that and because it's not really about that like our last video the glamorous sand dunes like such a killer just idea executed had a good time doing it, and then poop, switch to Ken dating. Yeah. It's not always bigger and better.

It's just like pushing ourselves in different directions, and that was a good example. I agree. Like, you look at the common sex on that. There's like almost nothing about the snowmobile. Yeah, because they were so taken off guard by what we created with that dating show. And then it makes me wonder, I'm like, damn, we could have even done the snowmills as its own thing. And we could have done the dating thing as its own thing. Think how much money you could have, but putting it in one.

It's a better video Unlike every other YouTuber That would just put them into one Into several ones Or you could have done other stuff in the back end But yeah No it is interesting though Like that's a very good point Mike

Where you say do bigger stuff Like yeah we could go take a fucking You know whatever to Water skip whatever Or do whatever the hell we're doing And then it's like the little ones Is normally what people end up talking about Is that just basic thing

That is just funny Dude, the amount of people that come up to us and go, the best thing you guys have ever done is the boat ramp video. Yeah, dude, my hairdresser was just telling me that the other day. I get that like at least three times a week. And that's crazy because, like, we went in there and it was kind of like, damn, I don't know how this is going to go. And then we did it.

We're like, yeah, it was pretty good. And then it got chopped up. And then that's when the magic came to it because then it was like so quick and like just the best parts. Yeah, I remember starting to edit, and I'm like, this is going to suck. This is, you know, and then it gets a little bit better and a little bit, and C.J comes in, he's like, how's it going? Because he knew kind of how it started.

I was like, bro, this is good. That's the best thing we ever did. Really? Yeah, bro. Watch it were crying. Dude, I will say. That's when you know what's good is when Ben and I watch it back, and whoever's typically editing it, you know, whatever part,

so maybe Ben edited or me, and then you don't, you'll never really know. you're kind of like, I think this is funny. And then when one of us comes in and we're sitting there and we watch it back together, pretty soon we're both in tears. And I'm like, damn, this is a bang. This is a bang. This one's going to hit.

That's how the rest of us can tell if a video is funny is if, I mean, they're all funny in their way. But if something really is standing out, it's because you two, you'll just hear cackling from each other's offices echoing through the shop. The clap and it goes silent. I was going to say like when you guys get together and laugh like okay cool you yeah you're just both in your offices laughing out loud i literally i mean if i'm downstairs i'm like nice can't be a good one it's got to feel good when you guys film ken's bit and you're editing it and you were editing it i was eating the pie downstairs and i literally every 30 seconds would hear cj busting a gut and at that moment i knew i'm like i am so excited to watch this because

he is losing it up there alone. Should we put one little bit of just one bad part? Like one of the crazy, like kind of awkward parts. We'll cut one of those moments in to this. But it's just one. And it's going to be like one of the lower end bad parts that still couldn't go on the main channel. Yeah. Yeah. We have an older audience that watches on YouTube.

Yep. To maybe show the on the podcast. The degree of how raunchy. Like this will be the most minimum. Yeah. There was much worse. Which one? So now that we kind of got.

the normal formalities out of the way. What do you think of like BDSM and stuff like that? I think it's fun. Do you think it's fun? So do I. No, I was just curious. I was wondering. Also, how tall are you? I'm 6.3. You're 6.3. How tall are you? I am 5.6. So you would love to be like a little submissive? Oh, yeah. I love being dominated. Yeah, it's fun. I don't know. I have horrible ankles because I was a gymnast for eight years. So I am flexible, which helps with my BDSM activities. But yeah. Well, I mean, Ken's still on the market. So maybe we just do it.

Yeah, we did a bad job. We did a bad job. We clearly didn't get the right one. We didn't set him up for success. Ken, I think this is what you guys should do. You need to keep going until you find him his woman and then you get your next candidate. Imagine Ken actually marries this woman. And then we're like, yep, we set them up all in a YouTube video.

It's all on camera. That seems like a lot of work, Jake. I think you guys can get it done. I think after 39 episodes, I'd start to get a little anxious to get someone else on. Tell you what, you give me the first girl, my episode's done. Jake doesn't even see all, yeah. You're going home with me. But with Jake's episode, they're just like all not good.

He's like, what the hell is this? You guys, I don't know. That'd be funny. They're just like old ladies. F-350s. Yeah, we're going to end up there. Sorry. Yeah, I, I, okay.

Before we end it, I just. had to tell you something really funny that came to my mind. So I was watching YouTube the other day. And you know how like when the videos keep going, it'll just keep pulling up recommended? Sure, yeah. I'm sitting in the shop and the TV's playing in the background. Do you know what video comes up?

What? Banging TV when me and you made one video. It has 20,000 views. Wow. And it's just me. That's actually kind of crazy. Yeah. It's hidden too.

Yeah. It literally just played and it's like, yo, what up? And I'm like, is that me? And all of a sudden it's me and CJ screaming into a web. I'm like, yeah, just low quality. It was like a hidden vid. Yeah.

Crazy. I was afraid someone else would take banging TV and that maybe, you know, someday you or us would want that. So I was like, well, I'm going to like lock that shit down. It would have been nice. I know. You still had it. Are you leaving the whole banging name? I don't know if I'm leaving it, but like.

Yeah, if you want banging TV, you can, I mean, I got the fucking password. I don't. I don't think I'm like in my phone from 2017. do you still want to stick with like shirby banging i guess as you i've always thought about it every time i opened my instagram i'm like when do i change this oh it's shirby bangin sixty nine here's what i do like here's what i do like which is where i kind of felt like you were at after uh the whole fiasco with your manager and everything sureby bangin sixty nine is and in my opinion should always be your instagram name see that's the thing but other than that i don't think

that you're like bound to that though no like if you're worried like that's my thing like i don't think that's your thing no anymore like you're more than that i i i don't think so either but like i just like uh oh g thing yeah well it's just like the the whole roots because it was a part of like a timeline in my life you know or like that that that was that was super sick and it was super fun and like the whole like banging thing like we had so much fun with that and like we sold a shit ton of merch and stuff like that and then like i think i've just kind of like moved on you know to the whole bum's thing and I don't think I'll maybe I'll make a special drop with like bang and merch or whatever but like I don't know I think it's like some people at events most people

still like call me that and I'm like yeah it's cool you know like yeah I'm never bang it yeah you know it still is a great yeah like I always thought it was a great you saying that does sound weird like some people still call me that like I mean I know I don't call you that in person but like to me you're this guy used to regardless like I'm pretty sure you're the one that just forced everybody to call me because yeah because I thought it was a great slogan man and then it was the banging underwear was going to come out I wore those yesterday that was going to be fire

we had a couple of demos made Ken got robbed you put in order and never got the money back I like an underwear never showed up of banging designs an arsenal I just felt like you could put banging I just thought like you could put banging on anything that's why I was like we got to fucking stick to this

I mean I maybe you'll do something special one day you know it's like one-offs like for like the the core audience and the OG viewers and stuff but like I'm not I'm not focused on but I don't want to ditch it to rest for the record I think would kill like wait a wait a while yeah drop some OG yeah yeah like just some way back in the day stuff or even like just some like OG designs even or what because you know I trade even though you made him I trademarked him so I can do that but uh I just kidding sorry but no um I don't know yeah I've thought about it I'm like ah I don't think there's a point at this point in time or reason like i don't care like a lot of people still call me it and it is what it is

you know and then you could be like what about what about like shirby jerkin sure yeah hey jerkin that's his new thing jerkin don't trademark that jirkin jerkin i'm gonna start making jerkin jerkin merch dude i love that i mean or okay so people used to call you banging but now it's like now they just call you shipbird yo jake Yeah, no, see, that just doesn't happen. You know, it's funny. Not shitting on your name, but like, doesn't hit as hard. It's a ball.

I mean, it's like, you know, it's not as bad as, hey, Ryan. Yeah, that fucking name blows. Come on. I can't even let you disrespect. I know. I'm just kidding. I love making it. I will say Ryan didn't make it on top 10 worst names.

You look it up. Where, dude? Who wrote that list? Look it up right now. Fucking Brian? Top 10 worst white boy names. There's no way, dude. It must have had to be.

been like Chad their reputation obviously built the rep the reprisions i'm super curious yeah look it up can actually there there's worse ones okay yeah yeah but he's on the list i didn't think right hey i didn't think ryan was number one it's actually not even close really what number is he uh it doesn't even pop up on the top 100 oh so there's uh there's satan adolf osama what the Ken, I'm talking in normal names. Ian, which. Damn. That's bad.
