Starting point is 00:00:00 The bank will give you money for just about anything. Everyone else has to just be like the most animated version of themselves when anything happens. And it was going to hit us. And he was not slowing down at all. I haven't got a speeding ticket in eight years. All right, let's do it. Congratulations, Mike. Let's go, Mike.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Go, Mike, big moment. It's nerve-wracking making a big perch like that. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio. Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or. or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. I'm bad at selling for a profit.
Starting point is 00:00:41 I've only sold one car for a profit. Yeah, it's something I learned the hard way. That's actually just not usually the case. That's just cars. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you shouldn't expect that ever. You shouldn't buy a car really ever expecting to sell it for more. Mike was just showing us a viper that is sick
Starting point is 00:00:58 that we're trying to convince him to buy, as good friends should. Yeah. But I was going to ask you, Mike, what is the story with the Viper? Like, why is that the car? The ever elusive Viper. My dad was a big Mopar guy. I grew up a big Mopar guy. We didn't have subscriptions of very many magazines.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I think he just got it because he worked at the Mopar dealership. But we had, like, the Viper magazine. So I would just flip through it. And instead of, you know, like car and driver, looking at all these different cars, I'm just looking at vipers. Straight vipers. Vipers.
Starting point is 00:01:30 He's got like little replicas of vipers. Unfortunately for him never owned a viper, but then that was kind of where that came from. I'm like, well, I should get one. And then as time went on, people on social media started treating vipers like there were some sort of holy grail. Not the holy grail by any means, but they're like, oh, Z-0-6 is those are sick, but did you see his viper? They're rare. That's the goal behind it. Yeah, they're going up in price.
Starting point is 00:01:57 So that's the downside. And I really think I got to make it happen this summer before they keep going up. That is a downside for you, Mike, because you only like buying things that are going down in value. Right. So you mentioned, like, dude, it feels insane to me to get, like, a loan on a supercar. It's crazy that the bank will give you that. Like, hey, I want this sports car.
Starting point is 00:02:16 The bank will give you money for just about anything. As long as you're willing to pay for it. It's crazy. They're in the business of giving people money. That's true. Money Mike doesn't even know what a bank is. I convinced my girlfriend that Mike didn't believe in banks for the longest time. I think she believed it for a couple of years, actually,
Starting point is 00:02:33 and that Mike would just put his money underneath his bed, which isn't that crazy of like a, it's not that foreign of a concept. Right, because we were up in Mike's office slash bedroom in the old shop. And you had what, like, $1,100 in cash? Yeah, I was going to say, like, a bunch of tip money, basically. And we're like, oh, yeah, Mike, he doesn't put his money in the bank. He doesn't trust the banking system.
Starting point is 00:02:52 You could have gotten. Your mom doesn't trust the banking system. My mom doesn't trust anything. Oh, really? He doesn't trust the banking system. I try and, like, listen to her for a little bit, and then she starts saying, like, all these wild conspiracies. I'm just like, I feel bad, but I'm going to tune you out for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:03:06 I think she does have, still has some sort of compass, like some of the stuff she says I agree with you as well, or do you think everything she says is crazy? No, there's like, for every 10 things, there's like the one that's like, okay, I got to take you with a grain of salt right now. I would love to have your mom on. You agree most of the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Yeah, but it's always like the one that's always just completely out of left field. I don't want to have him catch a stray here, but like Uncle Buck, he's also very accurate on a lot of things. And I'm catching a straight here. Your uncle and my mom are pretty much the same, on the same wavelength. What conspiracy theorists would that be? They're almost like doomsday prepping. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I'd say Buck is almost like doomsday prepping. 100%. Yeah, Uncle Buck also kind of doesn't believe in the bank system. Really? And so he has a bunch of money in silver. Yeah, so he lost. a bet to me and uh he paid me 500 bucks or a thousand bucks in silver which is pretty sick because it stopped me from like ever using yeah that much like i just have the silver in my safe now
Starting point is 00:04:06 what the hell are you going to do like molded into a freaking oh what do they make silver what do you no i think they just no it's like silver coins so like if the banks did fall i would have silver coins you got some shackles yeah yeah i don't know how far it could get me but it could give me, I guess, a little bit. Do you buy that online? Do you have to go somewhere for that? Where does you even get this? Yeah, I think you can buy silver online, actually.
Starting point is 00:04:30 But it comes in, like, crates because silver's not light. It's got to be expensive to ship. Yeah, that's a depreciating asset right there. Like, you're spending $1,000 on silver, but it costs you $200 to ship it. It's like the transaction fee on Robin Hood or, like, Coinbase or whatever. It's like the same thing. Yeah. Gas fees on crypto.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Mike, though, if you pull off, if you pull off that Viper. I think you've got to buy it. Like, buy it right now. Right now. Oh, it's on eBay, you just add to cart. Deposit of $1,000 is required. Done. You need to take a loan with my credit card or?
Starting point is 00:05:02 There you go. Ken's in the business of loaning. Deposits are non-refundable. The podcast could put up $1,000. Yeah, luckily. For your deposit. This isn't. Does the podcast have $1,000 to put up?
Starting point is 00:05:15 Yeah. It's all tied up. Yeah, well. Assets and investments right now. Yeah. It's ironic that I've literally thought that I've looked at every Gen 5 Viper for sale right now. But he finds, he sent me one that I haven't seen. It's insane. I swear, Ken has some, like, back alley entrance to these apps.
Starting point is 00:05:35 He's just got Cargooros and Auto Tempest. That's like the two to look at because they have everything. Mike, I think you should buy it right now. A deposit of $1,000 is required is not refundable. That's not the end of the world. Trump changed for money. Scammed out of worse. No, but press buy it now.
Starting point is 00:05:48 You can just press buy it now? I do that at $1.25? Yeah. That'd be a good video. And then we go and get it. Pick it up. There's a make an offer option on there? Not on this one.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I was hoping for that. Come on, Mike. The podcast needs a thumbnail in tight. Yeah, for real. Mike buys a Viper live on the podcast. Your account has reached the limit for bidding and buying. What? I don't bid on anything.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Currently, your account has reached the limit for bidding and buying. Oh, have Evan do it then. Evan's got, Evan's got like the best, yeah, he's got the best eBay account you can get. He doesn't believe in Amazon. Why don't you just message a guy and then just do it off eBay? That's probably a better idea. I just get a hold of them and just say, hey, give me a call.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Let's do this off eBay. I can, you know, send you a thousand bucks or whatever, but let's meet up and I want the car. Just tell them you want to buy it. Where's it at? Ohio. Can you drive it back from there? It's probably not too far. I probably would.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I will say my favorite part, my favorite miles in my vet were driving at home. It's so fun. I was literally just going to ask you that. I'm like, I like the idea of, uh, purchasing a vehicle and then driving at home permitting it's not like the middle of winter or whatever because you immediately get to know you're forced into getting to know all the things you probably are going to love and you might not like about it mostly hopefully love also like we drive these roads every day like even in the new car it's not going to feel that special but you start in this new
Starting point is 00:07:11 foreign place it's like downloading a dLC to a new part of the video game like it's just you're so excited you're in a new place you're trying to find the first gas station to stop to you like it's so fun it is the best part it's my favorite part about buying that car was picking it up in texas so the cummins that i bought a while back it's actually you haven't even got that one yet you're gonna have two cars here i know two new vehicles that's not a reason not to you no it's not it's not especially when you're money mike full send diesel where dalton's truck is so i was asking him when dalton's truck would be done i'm like you should just take it back with Dalton's truck, and then he said, oh, we won't have room.
Starting point is 00:07:48 We're taking another truck. And so then I'm like, I might just fly out there and drive it back. Where's that, though? Pennsylvania. Probably what, 24-hour drive? Yeah, it was two days of driving. It was 20 hours. 20?
Starting point is 00:07:59 That sucks. Yeah. There is a point where it kind of goes, like, do I want to drive from Pennsylvania? Yeah, I would be, like, mobbing with him on the way here with Dalton's truck. Oh, that's true. Probably, yeah. You just have one of those guys drive it. And true, they just have to take another guy.
Starting point is 00:08:12 You get a ship, too, for probably a thousand bucks. This guy. He knows, dude. He knows everything. See, like, I knew I could get it shipped, obviously, but for a thousand bucks, the guys Ken knows? Yeah, about the time you buy a flight and pay for the fuel. Oh, yeah, no, that's what I'm getting it is I couldn't even do that for that.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Not even close. Dude, Ken is just in the business of shipping things. He's shipping packages. He's shipping the boys. He does all of our travel advisory. And then he's shipping our vehicles every which way. I just had him ship the T-Moo Typhoon today. that one's going to be a little bit of work
Starting point is 00:08:49 I don't think we're going to get it here by the time the ice comes off Oh really? Not for you though The problem is the wit But we're working on it Oh we want Do we want it for the ice?
Starting point is 00:08:58 I mean we just want it in general It'll be fine Yeah the Timu Typhoon that we bought We had our buddy Wammleton Fix it But the dude has So little confidence In the Timu Typhoon
Starting point is 00:09:10 That he won't test drive it Yeah he doesn't want to put it in the water And test drive it it for us because he's like I don't want to be responsible for breaking it. Like if it sinks which honestly you can't blame the guy. It's literally held together by door hinges and two by fours. The sinking makes sense but the whole breaking thing
Starting point is 00:09:26 it's like if he blew up both motors simultaneously we'd be like all right. I don't think he's worried about that. Yeah. Okay. It's just the torts. It's just the torque ripping it apart. Oh like it might actually work so that the I could see that two by fours that hold the rear of the jet skis on could break.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I'm just a little concerned at how this thing's put together just having this thing go across the country on a trailer might make it fall apart. Well, it's got to get here somehow. Yeah, it did make it from South Carolina to Florida, which isn't that far, but one of the subs, you might even be listening right now, came through heavy and drove it down on the shittiest
Starting point is 00:10:02 trailer I think I've ever seen. I can't believe it made it that far. Please tell me that they're not transporting it back on that same trailer. No, no, he was saying he'll put the trailer on a flatbed. Okay, good. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I told the dude, this trailer is a piece of garbage i don't trust that it'll make it i don't think it would make it down the road at this point that thing is so rickety i mean it's also wide cj you're going to be pretty proud of me what'd you do i got a speeding ticket oh yeah i saw that sucker how fast make you pretty happy yeah i mean
Starting point is 00:10:34 you were due for it i was due for it i haven't got a speeding ticket in eight years eight years How he's not gotten a speeding dig in eight years? Well, because I drive pretty good, Ryan. What happened the other day then? Honestly, I got got. I got got, dude. And it's not an excuse. I mean, I was speeding, but I was coming off Highway 10 in Audubon.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Yep, dangerous spot. And then there's like that, I don't know, 300 yards where it's a 30 and then it goes to the 55. Oh, you got you in there. They just made that a 30 like a year ago. Yeah. Kind of whack because like I was just speeding. up into 55 like you turn and like it's not long enough where you like really think about like going through slow at 30 you kind of just turn and then you just speed up and then by the time you get
Starting point is 00:11:22 to the 55 you're like at 55 yep and I just impressive because I think most of us would be most of us would be at about 65 70 I just sped up and got to the 55 and was just driving normal next thing I know a cop's behind me I pull over and I'm like oh dude I'm getting got for tint oh my Tint is insane on the Euras. And he comes up and he shows me a picture. He must have took a photo. I don't even know what this was. But he shows me a picture of the back of my car.
Starting point is 00:11:54 And then you can see the 55 mile per hour sign like in front of my car. So you see the 55, my car. And then he goes, I clocked you at 55 here and it's a 30. And I'm like looking back, I'm like right there. Right here? And he's like, yeah. And I'm like, I don't even, what do you even say? 55 and a 30.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I'll tell you what you're saying. Right to take it. No, I didn't even argue it. I was just like, yeah. They like it. That is me in that photo that you show me right now. So clearly I was doing it. They just made that a 30, like within the last 12 months though.
Starting point is 00:12:31 And you don't even think about it because we've lived around here for so long. Them changing that speed limit doesn't even register in my mind. Well, it should now. because they're posted up and yeah so then he starts tearing my car apart and was like you got tint on it and i was like or he was like this is dark tint how dark is it i was like i don't know it was on there when i bought it which i knew it was dark i knew it was dark i didn't know it was this dark it's 3% oh really 3% okay that actually makes sense i was kind of joking when i said 0% like that's dark i was just got the opportunity he puts his reader on he puts his reader on and like
Starting point is 00:13:08 the reader was on the inside of the window so I could see it. And my jaw just dropped. He was like, how dark? And I go, take a guess. And he was like, five? And I was like, three. Oh, my gosh. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I was like, holy shit. So he was being nice? I mean, yeah, he was a nice guy. Did he give you a tin ticket or no? Yeah, he gave me a windshield tint ticket. Oh, wow. And then he came back and was like, you know, I'm not going to give you a window for the sides, tint ticket, but I am going to give you for the windshield.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I was like, oh, good, understand. And then he was like, but can't do anything about the speeding. And that just gives me my ticket. I was like, bro, not even like, knock it down to a 25 and a 30. Yeah. So that's 25 over. Yeah, it is 25 over, Ryan. Is that a, like, that's a major speeding ticket, right?
Starting point is 00:13:56 Like, you start getting up in those numbers. I don't know. But the thing is, dude, it's not a minor. What's 25 over in a 55? 80. 80 and a 55 is pretty fast, but it's like right at in this little zone. here like you're just speeding up a little early that's tough it's tough 25 over tough look yeah i thought your rear view your rearview mirror was like super high tech trying to dim it down or something because
Starting point is 00:14:19 i'm like dude i can not see out of this i look back i'm like oh it's just that dark it's just that dark yeah that's insane yeah the guy that had my car before me had to have been i don't know he had to have been some kind of celebrity or something that didn't want anybody knowing who was in it which is kind of nice like when i'm in there and like somebody is like maybe sitting there looking at you at a stoplight and it's kind of awkward and well i don't think it's that awkward but greta hates it and she's like can they see us right now i'm like no no trust me no they cannot it's pitch dark in there might have had an eye condition ken has a window tin prescription thanks to you ben i've got light sensitivity because of you thanks to ben it's funny you should be thanking him ken you should be
Starting point is 00:15:04 You don't get any tint tickets anymore. Actually, I haven't got a window tint ticket since you did that. You don't even need to walk on wood, though, can you? For clarification, Ken Matthews, he got so many window tint tickets that after Ben smashed him in the face with his birthday cake on his birthday and the candle one to his eye. All right. Blow it out. Don't actually remember that.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Oh! two days later two days later it's pretty fucking yeah can you can you can then went to the optometrist and they gave him a window tint prescription because his eyeball is slightly messed up now and he now can he now can legally have illegal tint on his car only on the sides not on the windshield which is like the most important part but yeah what don't be complaining can all of us would love to be able to have well it was interesting because we were all trying to you know find a way to finagle our way into getting that signature on like a tint right off and then can just so happen to actually become injured ken earned it yeah exactly like he earned it so it's like if there's anyone that's going to have it win some you lose some that that just came out as a dub on my side
Starting point is 00:16:34 Yeah, I mean, normally, though, like my advice, when you get caught red-handed speeding and you're clearly speeding, it's just best to be like, yeah, I know, shouldn't have done that. I'm an idiot. You know, this, that. And then they normally lighten up at that point and then we'll sometimes let you go off the tint and then sometimes even knock it down. Yeah, like my last one, the guy knocked it down. I think I was going like 80 or something in a 55. And he knocked it down to like not as much or maybe it was higher. I don't know. I got the ticket in there. Whenever I get caught speeding, I tell them, they're like, you know how fast you were going?
Starting point is 00:17:07 And then I, like, make it sound like I'm guessing and then guess the exact amount that I was going. 88. If you would have asked that, I would have been like, where? Like, I didn't even... Yeah, I didn't even really know. It didn't even register. It was an honest mistake. The ticket I got before my last one, the guy came up just all, like, fucking mad.
Starting point is 00:17:26 And because he came up all mad, I just decided to just like, I was just like, fuck it. I don't even care. And then he was like, you're going pretty. fast weren't you i was like was i you know i did that and i kind of put a stupid look on my face which made him even more mad oh no and then he was like you had to been going well above 80 i got you at 80 i was like that doesn't make sense no i don't think so and like just was going back and forth and then i like caught him going back on his words and shit and i was just like see that's why i think they loosen up they loosen up when you're just like yeah i messed up yeah then they're like okay i'm
Starting point is 00:18:01 not going to deal with some guy who thinks he's a lawyer and going to try to talk his way out of this ticket like if you just in i think that's the right thing to do if you're like i have made a mistake or committed a crime technically and by going too fast you're just like yeah i did it you know i'd be like oh no my speedometer was off or your reader is inaccurate you know just like just like just trying to lie to get your way out of it if you just like accept responsibility for something like that you like then they loosen up yeah i got got in 4k straight up i love you showed you a picture i was like god i was like god i I look stupid driving right now with that little, the fucking white wheels with a 55.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I've right. Can I get that picture? Yeah. That guy's an idiot. Sorry. Mike, you buy the Viper yet? I forgot my wallet at the farm.
Starting point is 00:18:46 You got to put in your credit card. Yeah, I guess my credit card, you need to link it to prove that you're verified of age to buy this item. You want to buy, use mine? Sure. Do it. Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to obviously use it to buy anything else. Good.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Add the Viper to cart. So, yeah, that's it's. Dude, it's hilarious. Because anyone bought a car on eBay, I know it's actually a pretty reputable place. Yeah, I bought my WRX on eBay. You got a WRX? That's right. A red, yeah, red, reds red WX.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Oh, yeah. All right, anyway, I'll get back to you guys. You guys been buying the dip? I've actually bought stocks for the first time in my entire life. Nice, Mike. Good job. You bought it at the dip, right? Mike is just winning.
Starting point is 00:19:23 There you go, Mike. Worked out pretty good, huh? Yeah, work great. As of right now, they might drop again. Yeah. So don't feel too good. Yeah, kind of. wild dude i've been watching just like a lot of different youtube like finance videos about people
Starting point is 00:19:38 just talking about where we're at right now with the economy and i just keep thinking like man is this how it felt in like oh wait i was just too young to even know what was going on back that yeah right but just like i guess the way people have been looking at it but i don't know if this is as bad as oh eight no oh eight was i think like a housing market crash 50% loss boss in the S&P. It feels more like the market's more like 2020 than 08, I think.
Starting point is 00:20:09 At least it seems very parallel to 2020. The thing is though, is like so it just rocketed up today because Trump pushed the tariffs back another 90 days for every other country other than China. And so yeah, I mean, that puts us out three months. So end of summer
Starting point is 00:20:26 roughly. We're going to have more of an answer, which will either send them all the way back down again or send them up. The thing with the stock market, Mike, is that you don't want to time it. You just want to have time in it. That's what they say. It's not about timing the market. It's about just having time in it. Yeah. That's, if anything I'm aware of, it's just literally that. I plan to, like, leave it in there for the next five years or whatever. The nice thing about you being late to the game on buying stocks is that you came late at the perfect time. Because you just
Starting point is 00:20:59 saved yourself like a year or maybe even two in terms of your buying price any gains you could have had in the last year would have been gone basically reset back to where they were 12 months ago yeah yeah that's a good point worked out good yeah yeah good things come to those who put it off yeah is really it was a lack of knowledge and it's just like it is interesting how that can just go on and on I don't know just put my first couple thousand in the stock market and hopefully now you're buying a viper dude I'd say it went pretty good, Mike. Big return. The other day we were sitting in Big Wrenches Garage and it's when everything started going
Starting point is 00:21:38 down and CJ opens up his phone and goes, Ken, how do I sell all? How do I sell everything? You were like serious because when you did sell everything. Yeah. And when you told me you sold everything of all the things that you worked up to get, I didn't quite understand it. I was like, so he sold everything like that. Was that the right thing to do?
Starting point is 00:21:58 I don't know. sold everything and then he bought it back yeah did you sell again no i don't know like how much i can really say but i i've been like buying stocks for probably three maybe four years and just you know slow and steady had quite a bit of money in there probably two months ago i was up like 40 grand like if you would have just gone to my gain loss statements so i was doing really well in the stock market but i just you know been buying at good times over time and all of that i had watched in probably a week go down and down and down and down and down and down and I was like even this was the dip prior to uh once it really started tanking but uh basically I was like I'm even this is
Starting point is 00:22:42 probably going to keep going lower because like the everyone's this was before even any tariffs had like been set I don't know I just was off the CBD and I was a little nervous and uh I just was like 10 how do I sell all I sold all of my stocks in one moment there and then they freaking rocketed up the next day which was so stupid and we're sitting there yeah everyone's laughing at me everyone's laughing at me and then uh evan loves the story the most yeah evan should tell the story better dude he loved that moment when he goes you guys see the stock market today he doesn't even have stock he doesn't give me shit about the stock market he just cares that cj lost yeah so but then it ended up going back down again to actually even more past when i
Starting point is 00:23:26 sold yeah i mean in in hindsight it was the right move after seeing what it did keep going down but that would assume that you bought at like the lowest point and then it goes back up but like the thing is is you just never know yeah i mean i don't think it was the right move for me because then i started like nibbling back in so i basically like sold at a spot it went up and then it went back down and i bought some more and then like it would have been as if i never sold and then it went down more again but then i kept buying i was telling mike i was like bro now is the time to start buying and now you know now we are now we up now we up this guy's getting a fucking viper all right so we're ready it says price 125 000 deposit 1 000 buyers responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping
Starting point is 00:24:16 do you want to negotiate at all or you just willing to pay i probably should i sent him a message there yeah there was no like number so i don't know if it's a private seller or not that's really You can't just call. Yeah, I really would love to talk to one. I'm pretty sure if you deposit that $1,000, it'll at least be held in escrow by eBay, so you're good. All right, let's do it. Do it, Mike.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Let's go, Mike. Mike's get on, Viper. Let's go. Viper, Mike. What a moment. What a moment. Cut live. You've committed to buy this item.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Pay now, the next option, buy another. Buy two. Fuck it, Mike. Wait, so got Ben's card in there, dude. Just pay now. I don't need to think. that would work. It would break it. Man, my heart is beating really fast, as you can imagine.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Is it? Oh, that's so exciting. It's nerve-wracking, making a big perch like that. Almost the biggest besides the house. Oh, my gosh, Mike. Now I'm looking at it, and it looks even cooler. Viper Mike, it says sold. What? Viper Mike. This is the most anticipated. Wait, wait. You just bought it. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:25:16 He just put money on it. Well, it says sold. So, like, basically, I think if I were to say I don't want it anymore, the $1,000 would disappear. It's not refundable. I got to go. Yeah, bro, get out of you Go get that thing Drive it back tomorrow A little bit of time to hop on a flight
Starting point is 00:25:31 To go get it I need to get a loan If money Mike wants to Yeah, like I'm This is a genuine question We're very financial podcast here Like is into my best interest To get a loan?
Starting point is 00:25:41 No, well how much money you got I mean how much do you want to put down on it Is the biggest question Depends you got a lot of big purchases Coming up you got your wedding You got your house remodel You just bought a truck It's paid off
Starting point is 00:25:53 Right now like to get a vehicle loan it's around like six and a half percent it is more in your favor to pay for it all but if you do need that money to like do other things you're better off getting a loan and maybe you just use that loan for six months just so you don't put yourself in a pickle and then you you kill the loan six months a year later that's what i should do i think so let's say you took the 125 grand and you kept in a high yield interest savings account that you're going to get right now like three and a half percent so that's half of the six so i mean if that makes you feel any better but generally like that's how i would decide whether i would do yeah if you can take that money
Starting point is 00:26:36 and make more than six percent right whatever at not much risk so yeah i mean you could put in a high-yield savings account and then you're making three and a half four percent it's like four then essentially not in a pickle then essentially it cuts your rate and a half yeah well in a sense Like you would be doing it, but pull up your heart rate. I'm intrigued on that. Yeah, I am too. It's not like crazy, crazy, but I can definitely feel like my armpits are sweating. I love that feeling, dude.
Starting point is 00:27:03 The feeling of just making an impulse expensive purchase. There's nothing like it. 94 beats per minute. No, he's cool as a cucumber. Yeah. That's pretty chill. Not really. I guess that's like a little bit high.
Starting point is 00:27:15 It's pretty high for sitting, I guess. What's your standard resting? Dude, really low, actually. I mean, like 60. That's what I mean. Your's a 60, 30 above. Woo. What's your siege?
Starting point is 00:27:26 I'm checking right now for us. Dude, congratulations. Let's go, Mike. Congratulations, Mike. Big moment. Big moment. I'm so glad that we caught it on the podcast. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:27:37 That's sick. You got it. You guys know the feeling when you're like, I think this is the one. Yeah. This is the one. This is the one. Yeah. No, I feel that.
Starting point is 00:27:44 It's a great feeling, actually. And then you just like can't stop thinking about it. I don't think I'll ever stop. I know it's the best feeling ever. ever, bro. I'm getting giddy, dude. I'm stoked for you, bro.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Dude, what we need to do is obviously you should go get that thing. I think you should film picking it up. I think that obviously someone goes with to film you, ride, and drive that thing back. Bring it straight to Anthemoto. Super down. Super down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:10 I actually, okay, so Enth Moto, I mean, I think I maybe mentioned this, but they only modify Vipers and they build them like crazy, like 2,800 horsepower and stuff like that. They have a rear wheel drive car. It's messed up. I don't think they have traction control, do they?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Oh, they do. The older ones didn't. Like the 90s and early 2000s, I don't think they have it. So, yeah, it's still a death trap, which is not quite as much. But I just wonder, like, if I would love to take it there and get something done. But I could see them being like, bro, if you're not trying to do 1,800 to the wheels, get out of here. They just won at Texas 2K, the 300 or 3,300 rear wheel horsepower. Hard King.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Bro, who's driving a 3,000 horsepower car? How many cylinders is it? Ten. It's a V-10, that's right. Is it naturally aspirated? Yeah, it is. So, not that can't be. Not that one.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Not that one. So the big, I think, uh, usually twin turbo, the biggest flex is to have a Viper ACR with twin turbos with rolling analegg and it's so sick. Mike, is that a T-top? Is that a T-top then? So it's just full hard top? The top doesn't remove? Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Does it have side eggs? exhaust? So what's your first mod going to be? Look that wank. Well, I was just going to say, oh yeah, so it doesn't, well, you guys have seen it popped up here. It has everything I want besides the big wing. And you know, I love big wings. Can't lie about that. So good. So, yeah, I'll definitely be doing that. It's just a matter of when. Other than that, it's like, oh, I don't really, well, I'll do wheels too. Wheels. Yeah, you're right. All right. You can't, you can't have a bigger wing on your drift car than. No, that will be first, but then probably exhaust. You got to let that
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah, I feel like that. Dude, this really is a special moment because you've been talking about wanting a viper. Like, your dream car has always been a viper. And I think it's pretty, you know, the story behind it, as you already told earlier, is pretty deep. Yeah, yeah, it hasn't been fully unwavered. Like, there's been times that I'm like, this is never going to happen. There's been times where I'm just like, I should just get a GTR. This is a loved on a GTR.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Like, it'll be so much easier. There's so many more out there, dream come true. Gosh, Mike in a fast, fast car. your first fast car my 8.4 liter dude i can already see his face on the shifts already that's actually what's funny too is that they're they're all just six-speed manuals so like i don't have any fancy it's a driver's car man yeah it is a driver's car that's pretty sweet the manual yeah not not many like really fast cards like that are manual anymore yeah really at all kind of hard to come by and if they and if they are they have like you know the
Starting point is 00:30:51 ZR1 manual that had a seven speed so it's kind of like a newer yeah yeah just your classic six speed I wonder if it rev matches it's a 2013 so it's 12 year old car doubt it might have been before they started doing that yeah can you even get like a Lamborghinian manual anymore no no I didn't they stopped doing those after the garados they were pretty rare in the garado even honestly maybe some of those race car only ones like track maybe no no they don't do those is it here yet dude I'm so excited holy shit I can't believe you just did that. I can't believe you just bought a viper live on air.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I can't either. Yo, Dalton, dude, Mike just bought a viper. What? Yeah. How sick is that? Viper Mike. Like, went to the bathroom for five minutes. Surprise.
Starting point is 00:31:35 And pack your bag because you and Mike are hopping on a plane tonight at six. You guys are going to Ohio. Wait, wait, wait, we're going tonight. Yeah. You didn't have anything planned, right? We're kidding. I don't think we can get a flight that early, but. Maybe this weekend.
Starting point is 00:31:49 5 a.m. tomorrow. Let me get... I still need a walk-round video of this car and I still need a phone call from the guy. Mike, you got to kick that guy in the nuts. You got to get him down. Yeah, get there and then try to get 20 grand off. You guys see that video that Nelke just dropped on Instagram
Starting point is 00:32:05 where they go and they try and buy, like, in this instance, it was a golf driver. And then he's practiced swinging. He hits the driver on the ground and it sparks. And he's like, oh, I didn't see this big scratch on this. Man, I'm going to need at least 50 bucks off. And the guy's like, you just hit it. You just hit it.
Starting point is 00:32:25 He's like, oh, no, this was there. That wasn't me. It's pretty funny though. You go there. Freaking curb the wheels. And then you hop out and you're like, oh, the wheels are curbed. That would actually be pretty funny. It feels like the alignment's off a little bit.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I could never do that with a straight face. Yeah, it's just you and Dalton. Yeah, but you don't tell Dalton that you're doing this. And he's just like, that would actually, that would make it. It would be pretty funny. If you didn't know, and you're like, dude, what are you doing? Where is it? uh it's in oh however far that is from here that's considered midwest well let me know when you
Starting point is 00:32:55 make the purchase and we'll go get it gosh mike you are going to have a fucking crazy fast car for the first time ever yeah it's gonna be nuts we kind of do that i'll be bringing my truck to that one right we got a truck show coming up you got bring them both i feel like we're gonna need friends to bring all the it's gonna be sick when we mob all of our cars down yeah what are the dates. May 17th. May 17th. We have a car show slash truck show at the custom offsets warehouse in Appleton, Wisconsin. Right outside Appleton, Wisconsin. Yeah. It's going to be here's the address of it. Here's the dates. Here's the times. If you live, honestly, within five hours, 10 hours. We're driving like 10 hours. Yeah. Pull up. I'm so excited. Dude, it's going to be
Starting point is 00:33:40 so sick. Mike's new viper will be there. We'll bring, obviously, all the cool cars and cool trucks that we got um dalton's rolling up with his truck that he keeps hyping up and says it's supposed to be pretty sick my it's going to be hyper yeah i guess if you are even if you live really far away you should probably pull up yeah i think it's going to be really sick i'm excited yeah it's yeah it's going to be yeah definitely come i think this is going to be a rowdy rowdy meat we haven't had a car show yeah since what 2019 yeah really the one we did at the sea store yeah the one in corn route we just talked about what was that 2019 right probably I had the Corvette.
Starting point is 00:34:17 No, so it would have been 21. 21. Yeah, right after COVID then. Still four years ago. Tom's burnout pad in the back by the propane tank. Yeah. That wasn't legit. We had to tell everyone not to burn out so that only like five people would do it.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Yeah, Cormoran. Are we going to have a legit burnout pad? Shut down. I think we got to figure that out. It'd be pretty sick. Make it happen. That'd be sick. You've got to toast a set of tires on that thing.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I mean, if you're doing a, if you're doing a meetup at custom offsets, the place that sells tires. Yeah. I feel like it only makes. make sense to have a spot to burn them off just yeah toast the tires holy smokes yeah that's and you could call it holy smokes holy smokes it's just good business right there's what it is yeah so yeah save the date put it in the calendar i'm excited for it like i'm actually i'm excited to have like a cool car show like appleton has cool car culture i hope other people come with cool cars it's like right
Starting point is 00:35:08 between minneapolis and chicago so you can potentially get like both of those like groups of people too. And I called up all my Corvette buddies. Yeah, Corvette Rally coming through the Corvette Club. Dude, actually, those guys got to figure it out. It was like a Tuesday afternoon. They were all eating barbecue driving around their Corvettes. Yeah, it looked pretty fun. That's true. They did have a good thing going there. Granted, we were on our way to the racetrack in our cars. Yeah, that was better, more our speed, but you know, still. That was so funny. Messing with those Corvette guys. It was so stereotypical, too. You run intent on this thing? No. No.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Front license plate, I see. Yep. I'm trying to get jammed up by the law. Makes sense. One of the dudes that, like, it was a dash cam or a radar detector, and he was talking about how you had to wire it in a specific way by a certain guy. Otherwise, it voids the warranty. I need to find that guy, actually, because I'm sick of having my dash cam,
Starting point is 00:36:03 freaking with the cord all the way down through my thing. You guys have radar detectors? All of you guys? No. Yeah. Does it help you? Yeah. It actually does.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Like, I wouldn't have gotten my last two. tickets if I would have had my radar detector in my G-Wagon. I just left it in my truck, and that was the problem. I went a whole year without getting a ticket, which is pretty good. With the radar? With the radar detector. There is such a thing as leaning on it too hard. You know, you can do that.
Starting point is 00:36:27 You always expect it. Like, if it's not going off, there's not anybody looking at you. But for the most part, yeah, like seven times out of ten, it's saving you. Like, easy. You get a good one. It's going off. Yeah, you do. But yeah, you can't be speeding in stupid spots with it still and then think you're not
Starting point is 00:36:41 going to get caught. Right. And think that it's not going to go. off like they already got you but i think it's worth it i tell everyone that anyone that likes to speed if you don't like to speed there's no point obviously but i just got it because it has a dash cam yeah yours is nice for that because i was driving one day and i was like at a four-way stop and i just looked right saw a shipping truck looked left started driving like blew through the stop sign at 60 miles an hour full box truck just did it have a uPS on the side it may have
Starting point is 00:37:13 have and it was not our boy Wade or any of our UPS cronies that we like I figured that out but anyway literally I don't know I don't know if I would have like been okay after getting hit at 60 miles an hour by it might have straightened you out Ryan it might have it might have but it might have messed me up and then so I got a dash cam that happened to come with a radar detector because you would have been okay if you would have gotten hit with your dash cam on no the idea would have been that when I got hit it would have made the lawsuit a little cleaner when I'm freaking unable to tell my story of why I got hit. Dude, if you got teaboned by a UPS truck at 60,
Starting point is 00:37:50 it was scary. You'd probably retire off of that. Well, I wouldn't want to do that, but I'm also not trying to like, you know, if I was unable to tell my story and then everyone goes, oh, idiot YouTuber runs stop sign and get smoked, even though that truck was supposed to be going zero miles an hour
Starting point is 00:38:05 because there was a stop sign there. You know, you just never know. That's how that woman feels that Ken backed into in Vegas. Yeah, can we talk about that? You've been calling you? No. I actually, there have been a lot of calls that I've ignored because they call like seven times, but no, I haven't gotten any California.
Starting point is 00:38:20 God, that was so freaking, can I tell the story from my, my, so we're on our way to go to the dunes, to go film the start card in the dunes, and, uh, I hit a workout in the morning. I'm feeling good. I got up, I was up earlier in these guys because these guys are out late and I'm, I eat like a good breakfast. I'm like ready to go. It was the night that I got locked out of them. my hotel room
Starting point is 00:38:44 I'm glad that you had a good morning. It felt good. Anyways. First night. So, you know, you always have the choice. It's like, you have two vehicles. Who do you hop in with? I normally look at the driver and who's riding. Like, okay, does this person, has this person showered? Who's driving? Is this a reckless driver? I'm going to hop in with Ken. Safe bet. He's
Starting point is 00:39:03 in the rental car. He's not going to do anything too crazy. So I hop in. I think I was even eating some eggs and enjoying some coffee. And next thing I know, there's this, like, semi, It was his fault. There's a semi trying to drive through, like, Las Vegas, like cut into where our hotel is,
Starting point is 00:39:20 and the dude went too far. So then he had to, like... Just taking a left at it in a section. Just imagine the F1 trillion trying to do anything. Super long. He basically miscalculated it and then had to cut it super sharp. And his trailer basically was super tight in our lane
Starting point is 00:39:38 and it was going to hit us. And he was not slowing down at all. So Ken throws this thing in reverse. and starts backing up and this guy keeps creeping forward and ken's backing up backing up and next thing you know this freaking girl behind us she like stopped backing up probably because the person behind her stopped backing up and basically ken just backs into this lady it was a light tap i would say it wasn't it wasn't like i didn't even really know we got an accident i thought you just slammed on the break super hard that's what it felt like was like ken slammed on the break super hard
Starting point is 00:40:08 but everyone was like oh freaking out i'm like what everyone else weird to even call like everyone else has to just be like the most animated version of themselves when anything happens everyone's screaming hooting and hollering oh yeah dude you know we bust out the cameras yeah everyone in the car hops out their film and like oh my god just got an accident i started question i was like was it worse than it was because i think evan was almost trying to just make you feel bad he's like that was a hard hit like he was trying to say it was a hard hit okay so the only damage was the screws from her license plate put a little imprint into the bumper on the rental car and then i think when i pulled the way like her her license plate like bent just a tiny little bit and she's like looking at it she was like facetiming her mom her mom was like what what's wrong your car looks fine and it was like end of the day nothing happened but it was just like but she was being difficult and wanted your insurance all this shit well it was because people kept coming out and with the camera and then they kept like Other people in our group kept, like, going back, like, to look at it and film, and then she
Starting point is 00:41:16 starts questioning stuff. And it was just like, everyone in our group just kind of made the situation 10 times worse. Imagine you're sitting there. She looked like she was leaving work. And someone just backs into you when you're sitting at a stoplight. And then eight people hop out of the thing just filming you. Laughing. Laughing. Like what? That was probably the best case scenario of that whole situation. Otherwise, that truck. would have torn off the front end of that rental car. Yeah. Dude, that guy, what the freak was that guy doing?
Starting point is 00:41:46 He should, like, he just, that was just a street he should not have been on because it's a narrow street that's like a one way almost. I have been a guy. Yeah, I mean, it just happens. It happens. It happens. RVs, trailers, big rakes. When you guys are like, let's take her through the Chick-fil-A drive-thru.
Starting point is 00:42:02 And I'm in a 38-foot RV. Everybody's in the back wasted and I'm pulling a 32-foot trailer. And you guys are, I need McDonald's. And I'm so I'm like, all right. And then before you know it, you're in a jammer. So like I feel for the guy, maybe, he definitely made a wrong call. Like he could have just gone. I've never done that.
Starting point is 00:42:20 He could have just gone straight though and he would have completely avoided that whole like tight neighborhood situation. Ken knows the roads better than a local. It probably just made it worse. But we hopped out and Gavin is like, you know, started smoozing this chick. Trying to get her number. Gavin was smoozing her like, should I get her number? And I'm like, I'm like, try. She's like, what?
Starting point is 00:42:42 For the accident? No, for later, baby. So Gavin is smoohing this chick. And she's like, hold on. Who am I exchanging information with here? This random guy that opt out or the guy that's actually driving? Oh, my gosh. And then Gavin got a little jealous because then, like, we hop back in the car.
Starting point is 00:43:00 And then Ken was back there and they were exchanging information. And then Gavin was like, what are we even doing here? And then he hopped out. Gavin hopped out. He was mad. And then he goes, yeah. Yeah, he was pretty fired up. He goes up to the chicken, goes,
Starting point is 00:43:11 what are we even doing here? Your car is fine. Got all this because Ken was getting their number. That's what it was. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I love Vegas for that.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Like, just treating everyone like their MPCs. Yeah, everyone's just a meme. Yeah. It's like an MPC. If they see what you're doing, like they just see it and it's out their head the next second. Hopefully. In the big city. Yeah, you can do that.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Except for that one girl telling stories about this car that just threw a reverse, ramped into her. And that eight guys clown car out of it. Yeah, you guys wouldn't believe it. It was like a clown car. This one... They were all fucking filmers, apparently. And this one redneck was... This one really sweaty guy kept trying to get my number.
Starting point is 00:43:50 And then he came out with just a total dick. Do you want to talk about one other little surprise, or is that saving for later? The one that I'd shipped up here. Yeah. No, that's a surprise for later. Okay. Oh, I'm glad that you just said like, said it like that because I caught wind that you were having Ken ship something. And I'm like, I already know too much.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Did a car? not i'm not disclosing that do you know what it is i actually don't they the person i connected you with kept it a secret so you're good job archie so big is it not only will ken not be disclosing it he is unable to i did ask for slightly more information and i i just decided you know what it's better if he just deals with this guy directly so i'm i'm disconnect you are really growing can you are really growing as a person not spoiling video bits yeah a year ago you couldn't have even helped yourself like you couldn't have stopped yourself if you wanted to ken was the king of just ruining surprises and look at you the personal growth is actually crazy you know it's
Starting point is 00:44:51 sometimes you just got to realize you know none of my business to be interfering in this even after ryan made it your business you know one day you'll just wake up and realize maybe i don't want to be a little weasel fuck weasel weasel rat fuck whatever you want to call yourself buddy Yeah, Ken, that dude, like, as soon as we were in my office talking about something, you look out, like, down the hallway, and you see Ken looking through his glass. Got like a, like, one of a big, you know what's funny is like he maybe spoiled some at some points, but then there's so many, we literally make jokes about how so many times he's out of the loop. So he's like, where do I stand, you know?
Starting point is 00:45:30 Where really do I stand? Do I tell people? Do I not? Do I act like I know when I really don't know? There's a fine line between. a need-to-know basis and just a knowing basis. And that line is very fine. It's very blurred on Ken's end.
Starting point is 00:45:45 This dude doesn't know what we're doing ever. It's such a funny feeling, though. We got so used to not telling Ken or filling him in on any surprises. Well, in that just came all the information. The important stuff still. Even on stuff he's supposed to be. It's such a weird feeling when, you like accidentally find out let's say you guys are planning a video bit completely around me
Starting point is 00:46:11 and if i like accidentally find out it's oh you can't un you can't put the toothpaste just back in the tube imagine your job but not knowing what you are going to be doing the next day like imagine ken's family eating dinner well ken what do you got going on tomorrow no fucking clue no fucking clue that's how he'd say it you're not doing it you're not doing it I know what I'm doing from 8 to 1130 beyond that. We're going to be doing something. I know that's for sure. I just don't know what we're going to be doing.
Starting point is 00:46:45 I'm a suspicion, but it is, it is crazy. Like that is actually how we operate. The less you know, the better. To a point. What point? Then there's just like straight up just not telling people anything and it's just like, dude, that's one thing that. It's nice to know that.
Starting point is 00:47:03 I like, then finding out after the fact. Yeah, but you find it out eventually. Occasionally, like, I'll miss a meeting, too, and I'll hear about something. I'm like, wait, what? When did we decide this? Yeah, things happen fast. They do. There's pros and cons to it, but I, like, strive off of that feeling.
Starting point is 00:47:17 I'm sure Sidney hates it, but it's like, all you'd have to tell me is, like, we're going on a road trip. I know we have to plan and stuff like that, or like, whatever. We're going to do something. Cool, what are you doing there? I don't know, but I'm excited. Yeah, I mean, if you don't need to know, that is, like, the best ever. it's like you're a little kid and your parents care and you know that they're just taking care of you yeah it's it's all going to be for your own good right in one way or another it might put you in a kind of
Starting point is 00:47:48 weird situation at times but in the long run it's all for the greater good it's like honestly like the cheap car challenge like or even when evan trolled me by getting in that fake fight i honestly felt really good about it at the end i was like wow that was like that was really exciting like i i got got got Like, it felt good to be pranked. Like, I don't know. I don't get pranked very much. And with the cheap car challenge, like, I was mad when we'd get pranked, but deep down, it felt a little good.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Yeah. I was like, man, like, this is kind of exciting. Like, I don't know. I didn't know that was going to happen. Like, you go to bed. You're like, man, I hope no one mess with our car tonight. No one mess with it. You go to bed the next night.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Man, I hope no one mess with our car tonight. You wake up, some shit just happened to it. You're like, you're like, mad, but then you're like, oh, this is like also so exciting. like you know like this and then you know like okay now i get to get my revenge it gives you an opportunity now like nice now it opens the floodgates that was pretty much the entire time someone would mess with us and then ken would just be like ha ha ha what if we did this it's just something outland like ken was going aggressive on some of the franks start their car on fire i think he might have said that at some point i'm like i'm like oh can i forget that can
Starting point is 00:49:04 like doesn't have the best touch on these situations where he's just he's normally I'm the one being pranks so he's like all right how do we get our revenge what if we duct tape the throttle so as soon as they floor it it gets stuck wide open no one of them what one of them was going to be steal the uh the head in and out of the minivan you guys were obsessed with the scene that would have been funny or you should just got in there and just kicked it and broke why didn't no one think of that that we were going to do it but we what we did in in return I was like
Starting point is 00:49:34 oh they're going to be so mad the CD would actually put them over where it wouldn't be worth it because then they wouldn't get over it and in hindsight they didn't get over what we did so we should have just done that as well because then it would have been like the cherry on top yeah I mean I had ideas of what I was going to do as well but I mean you guys did it and then you know anyway you guys just can't have to watch video I mean we're hyping this shit up yeah it's still probably another two weeks out from the first episode of it airing also this week we're not posting a video this week because we're editing the cheap car challenge there's just so much footage that you wouldn't have time to edit in the normal time frame that we have
Starting point is 00:50:17 and we have four editors but so don't don't act like we're like going light on it like what is the upside to that it's going to be a bang it's just going to be better and they'll be how long yeah over an hour i know we were over 700 gigabytes of just raw it ended up about a terabyte That's a thousand. Because what we had, GoPro in every car, Sony camera in every car, and how many other cameras do we have rolling?
Starting point is 00:50:41 So many, bro. Do we want to talk about a little addition? Careful with your mic stick here, bud. I haven't watching it. Things pretty sturdy. I mean, I would love to talk about our little edition here. Like 30 pounds, 20?
Starting point is 00:50:52 That's probably 30. It's probably 30. So that's a hand carved, hand-chiseled, I should say. Marble sculpture. It's a Greek god, the Greek god Zeus, because he likes thunder is it thunder or lightning and he's holding a lightning bolt
Starting point is 00:51:07 he doesn't just like it he controls it yeah and as you guys know we use lightning bolts and a lot of our designs and stuff and then he's holding a life wide open sign and he's got some goggles on his head and it was sent to us that's actually just a miniature version one of the like six foot four life size one that was sent to us by our buddies uh garret clay and who help us with our merchandise. But, yeah, we'd been working with them for like a year and they wanted to do something nice. But anyways, the real one weighs 2,600 pounds.
Starting point is 00:51:42 They got to double down on that. Over a ton. It's literally hand carved out of a giant marble brick. We have a literal Greek god statue in the pine bed. We'll pop some pictures and stuff up of it. But the thing was so heavy, and we didn't know what it was. We had a shipment of our new muck boots that Ben is wearing right now. now you guys can get to see boys tv.com they're freaking super super awesome boots because i mean you can
Starting point is 00:52:08 wear them winter you can wear them in the spring they're obviously water resistant and uh i mean they're just super popular there's tons of different brands of of muck boots but we think ours are are the best spent like two years developing we did we spent a lot of time developing them so anyways they were sent to us in a shipping container and they put their sculpture that they gifted us in the shipping container as well and we're like hey we got a gift in there for you guys you got to like unwrap it this and that and we initially thought it was a sculpture of ken we thought they a statue of ken we're like no freaking way they had a statue made of ken and then we realize maybe that isn't ken once we got to looking at it a little closer but it is kind of ken
Starting point is 00:52:55 it does the beard closer to ken than anyone else i think did you guys see the pictures of this thing As it came. Yeah, that was really cool. Like when it was a straight-up rock. So, of course, we had a million questions, and he's like, yeah, there's a factory in China right next to the mouth. It's not even really a... He caught a fat. It's just like an open-air pit.
Starting point is 00:53:15 And they just chop blocks, and then they bring them down to the dudes who just literally hand-carved them. I still can't wrap my head around that. Yeah, I would love to see, like, a time lapse of it. That would be the most satisfying thing. I know, like, the little guys that make the houses off. of mud and stuff yeah i think that's fake though yeah well yeah really yeah i think it came out that that was fake they got exposed but no i thought they had many excavators i've literally seen ticot lives
Starting point is 00:53:41 of a dude making bricks out of mud it's pretty boring but he's on ticot live so i was thinking like if you guys should be on ticot live they should make bank they should it's a commission they sent them this design and then he just has to chisel it out so it's like he probably just has work and more work and more work so i'd love to get another statement statue it's actually insane the level of detail that they can put into a marble stock yeah it makes no sense to me that's why like i feel like i got to see it it is so hard for me to wrap my mind around it not being like machine made i honestly when everyone's like it's marble it's real i was like there's no way like there's no way it's real i didn't even believe
Starting point is 00:54:24 it either because i you know art when you look at it in like the freaking i went to the place in New York where there's art. I think not at the museum. Or the Smithsonian. Yes. There's art stuff there, but you can't touch it. And like ours, you know, you can walk right up to and touch it and like move stuff around. So it was like kind of cool to be.
Starting point is 00:54:44 The thing's going to outlive us. It's so solid and it weighs so much that you're not going to ever move it. One of our grandkids is going to be basically handed this thing. And they're like, what do I do with this? You know, like moving it. And then where do you even? put it it's huge just trying to get that thing in place we had seven guys and we were struggling yeah that thing is heavy i kind of hurt my shoulder actually trying to move it dude my freaking
Starting point is 00:55:12 grandpa was a hoarder he built all these weird machines he took all these good dirt bikes and made him useless and all these street bikes and made him dumb handed them down to me and then now i'm gonna take care of this 2 600 pound statue said it looked like one of his buddies who's yeah Yeah. Hopefully we can leave them off with like some good stuff. So that way it counters. It's like, yeah, I got the freaking, this giant statue. But it's hopefully still cool. But it's going to be this and then the sign that's hanging up on the wall actually right behind us right here in between the two shipping containers.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Yeah. That's just about bankrupt us. Things not going anywhere. So speaking of us moving that thing, holy shit was that thing heavy. But we've been working out hard. I should say some of us. have been working out hard. Kenjamin, I am so proud of you.
Starting point is 00:56:04 You've been going ham. And it's just cool to see how you feeling because I am sore, dude. Like, we've been seriously going hard in the gym for this 100-day challenge. After the workout we did last Friday, I, like, didn't start feeling good until, like, late yesterday and today. Dude, he did a week. Yeah, dude, I was rough. Big Ken's hitting the hot tub every night.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Like, I just hear the thing just open up. Ken just elegantly getting in that thing Pink Panther music starts playing You could go and get a massage I did go to the chiropractor earlier this week And that helped immensely
Starting point is 00:56:40 Ken I think you should go and get a rub and tug That is out of left field Would you do it Ken? Yeah Would you not Well I have a girlfriend so no I wouldn't Like so if you were getting a massage And it's by some Asian masseuse
Starting point is 00:56:59 then she starts working her way down and starts grabbing your, your junk. What are you going to do? Just nothing. I mean, yeah, just see where it goes. See where we can take this.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah, but like that doesn't actually happen though. I think it does. No, it does. I know for a fact it does. I thought that was just a fairy tale. No.
Starting point is 00:57:15 We got a buddy that was talking about that. We have plenty of friends who have stories like that. Well, he was saying it's like, there's like certain ones and you got to like talk to them in a certain way. It's not just got to go in a little. Our, called
Starting point is 00:57:30 He's been in a Robert dog? Yeah I shouldn't say that I shouldn't out of What? I shouldn't Wow
Starting point is 00:57:39 He's been there Yeah he wanted to bring Ken when we were at his Can you say this? Yeah Now you've just exposed him I'm gonna bleep all the things out Of who it is
Starting point is 00:57:49 But I can't believe that I know He was saying he got one Oh my God Get another name Let's just bleep that one too But He was saying he got him
Starting point is 00:57:59 like Europe. No, I think that's just called part of culture. Yeah. Okay. That's just part of the culture. So back to the working out now though, Kent. So are you liking it? What's your thoughts? How are you feeling? Do you think you'll continue on after this challenge is done? Yeah. Yeah. I definitely feel like I am definitely like improving on where I started at. I think, yeah, I'm going to steal that snap card and continue going are you are you starting to enjoy it a little bit yeah it's or it's not like i'm just completely dead at when we're done with it yeah i'm i'm finally like getting some better weights and all that and it's like you are putting up way more weight can strong yeah strong like
Starting point is 00:58:41 but it's like i'm not like just completely dead like the first couple times where it's like i can just yeah it's not really fun that the thing is is like the more you do it you start to uh get more hooked on it and i think you start to enjoy it more and And if you were to stop, you'll be like, dang, like, I want to get back in there. And when you hit that point, that's when you're, I think, in a really good spot because then you'll get in there more and more and only see more and more benefits from it. But, I mean, I even read the comments and people are commenting a lot about, like, man, Big Ken is really like slimmed down. Like, he's looking great. And it's true, man.
Starting point is 00:59:19 It really is. So, I mean, it's just, it's cool to see. It's been fun. I think it's like just so awesome and will be really awesome to see us at the end. And then hopefully we just continue that. But yeah, like to your point, I never like the gym. I still don't love it, but you like it more. The more you go, the more you like it.
Starting point is 00:59:38 And then also like I ate like a lot of fried food, just like burgers and fries and this and that. My cholesterol was really high actually, really high for how like not overweight I was. But when you get done working out, like you don't want to eat burgers. burgers and fries you want to eat like fruits and vegetables because why would you want to like and some people work to offset that that's fine too but like yeah it's just like why would you want to eat like shit after you worked hard yeah to offset that which seems really obvious like it seems super obvious but like it's it's cool actually feeling that yeah you're feeling good so you don't want to put shit in your body and not feel as good that's the thing once you start like truly starting to
Starting point is 01:00:18 feel better and better and better it makes it harder to like eat like shit and like like stay up super late or you know do things that make you feel like shit because like you're just like man like i felt so good and i was enjoying myself when i felt a lot better 100 day challenge is going good though i like it been going ham man how many days we have left i don't know 50 we're probably probably about halfway yeah right around half yeah everyone's had been hitting it pretty hard except for one guy the short one yeah i think evans uh prides himself on on actually not stepping foot in a gym his training ready Regiment's about to start, like now all the snow is starting to melt and finally get his dirt bike out there.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Yep. And if we ever get our dozer back. What is the status of our dozer? You know, I was wondering on that. I made the call and got all the stuff fixed. We did some aftermarket part, some OEM part. So we bought a dozer for $20,000 from our buddy Rich who called me and was like, dude, this is my old dozer. It's a great deal.
Starting point is 01:01:20 You got to buy it. It just needs a little bit of work. And I was like, well, how much work do we talk? And he was like, a couple grand. And I was like, all right, I'd take your word. You wouldn't do us wrong. We get it. The track is loosening up.
Starting point is 01:01:32 We can't even really drive it because we were worried about it. So I'm like, all right. And I sent it to a local dealer because none of us know how to work on a dozer, neither do the wrenches. And to be fair, I told them, go through this and just tell me what needs to be done on it. I didn't say, you know, all right, give me the cheap fix. I wanted to know what was wrong with it. So we don't have to pay $1,200.
Starting point is 01:01:53 and another month to ship it back and get fixed. So they went through the entire undercarriage, the bad blades, all the leaking hydraulics, the missing parts, and basically came up with a bill that totals $43,570. $43 grand. You hear a number like that, and you're like, don't tell me that. What the frick? On a $20,000 machine. Well, there's no such thing as a free dog or a cheap dozer, I guess.
Starting point is 01:02:20 and so I went through and I mean there was a lot of things that we didn't need such as the rollover protection it was nine grand I guess we just can't roll the dozer now you know stuff like that but uh basically what I got us down to I don't have the the final bill here but it was more in like the 17,000 okay and that's using a mix that's not putting new tracks on it which they recommended because if we put on the new tracks you have to get new sprockets and do all these different things so we got basically the bare minimum to make it work well there we go that's all that matters so that's where our dozer is it's still getting fixed i figured that but but i have wondered i'm like oh shit i hope
Starting point is 01:03:05 that thing comes soon i forgot we've known that pretty excited for it to dry up and get warm it was 65 degrees today we will be motoring soon or off-roading or whatever the track's going to get some revamp. We have a dozer. We have a skid steer. It's got a Harley Rake. We just got like eight inches of snow the other day. So that kind of threw a loop. But that's how Minnesota Springs are. Yeah, that's pretty whack. We got more snow last week than we did all winter. Yeah. Wet and heavy snow. Yeah. That's taking like too long to melt. It's all melting today though. I bet you the ice will be off the lake this weekend. I was going to ask, when do you guys think it's going to go off? Sunday, dude. I think Sunday. Let me check my ice report here. We put the jet skis in? Almost have to.
Starting point is 01:03:46 I have to. So I did try and, like, walk out on the ice last weekend. And I made it about a foot. And I fell right. No, I made it one step and I fell right through. What are you doing walking out on the ice? I'll tell you what he was doing. He was breaking in his new bar at his boat house.
Starting point is 01:04:00 I wanted to go take a look at how it looked from the water. And I thought I could still walk out there, but I couldn't. So what did you do? How deep? It was, you know, ankle deep. Oh. You said you fell through. Yeah, I just made it one.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Like, my foot went down and just went straight through it. So it was one step. Maybe that was just. No, and not ice. He didn't know about the slush. Nobody told Ken about the slush. I forgot about that meme. That meme stems from just all of us filming outside in the mud, snow, slush.
Starting point is 01:04:31 And we just wear, like, skate shoes, and Janowski's, and Air Force Ones, and dunks. And we just never learn. Yeah, that's why you guys got to wear muck boots like I've been doing for the last five years. Ben was the first one to get those hook boots, the muck boots. and we love them. And they actually are very functional because if you're wearing them on a C-Boy's TV film day
Starting point is 01:04:51 or whatever you're doing, you're going to be covered as long as you're not knee-deep in water. You're covered. It's true. They're actually the best. You can even do a kick-flip in them. If you can't even skate.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Well, Ken, you might be able to if you put these boots on this try. Are you wearing Tidoski's right now? I am. It's a lifestyle product. I love the slip-ons. Slip-ons are the best shoes you can buy. You heard it here first.
Starting point is 01:05:13 There you go. Okay. Who wants to tie? their shoes. I used to have a pair of Velcro Janowski, so that was fun. People really roast you if you wear Velcro shoes for a good reason, but I thought it was stylish. That's a wrap. All right. Well, thanks guys. Thank you for listening. We'll be back next week. Go to seeboots TV.com. Pick yourself up some muck boots, and we'll see you guys next week. Peace.
