Would you be willing to marry Spenny to get him in?
And I'm under the snow like this and immediately...
I think you got it, Michael. You look good on that thing.
It would fit in the deal.
All right, I'll buy it.
I also want to hear about Evans' big gambling win.
Actually cut that.
Wait, are you actually being serious?
Yes, that has to be cut.
We are done on that topic.
We'll cut it.
It's okay, bud.
Is everybody chilling?
Chillin.
Hello.
I like how they utilize this.
Yes.
headlights in the K&M four-wheeler.
They're the same.
I mean...
Well, they're the same pod.
Yeah.
Well, I'm sure they were like, all right.
We don't sell snowmills anymore, so...
What do we do with all these parts?
Yeah, I kind of thought that, but then I remembered that we have a dealership with stuff
at home, but I was moving everything around here.
I was like, God, there's just so much cool stuff here.
Yeah, this is a really good set.
A dealership with stuff at home?
Well, yeah, none of it's for sale.
We don't really sell things, but we just have, like, a bunch of stuff that would be
considered dealership worthy.
We could create this look.
Every single week, it could be a different look.
That's true.
We're 26, different podcast.
Every site.
New locations.
While we're back, the Life Wide Open podcast set up in a different location.
So if you guys are watching this on YouTube, you notice it looks a little bit different,
and that's because we are at our friends at U Motors dealership that we work with for
all of our toys, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, four-wheelers, and boats.
So each year that they hook us up with a new boat.
pretty similar to the one behind us like this.
And we thought it would be pretty cool to go and show some love and set up in their dealership.
I mean, it's not just boats, though.
I mean, how many dirt bikes, four-wheelers, pretty much anything off-road comes from here as well?
I think it's a pretty beneficial partnership between, you know, we get some toys and then we buy 25 more from them.
Yeah.
There's a pile of us buying stuff and then we're giving stuff away.
and if they don't have it, they can find it for us.
So, yeah, we're chilling.
We're here at least once a month for something.
U-Moters loves to see us coming.
I think last time we were in here, we bought, what,
five, six dirt bikes or something like that to give away?
I was thinking about that.
How many vehicles do you think we've bought out of here?
And I wonder who is, like, their biggest customer in terms of quantity?
Ending.
And, like, where, you know, U-Moror has been around a long time
and we're, you know, relatively new to it.
So I wonder, like, how close we are to being the top customer
if we're even close to that.
We've got to be approaching triple digits.
I mean,
triple digits of vehicles from here?
What the fuck have you?
You've been buying.
I was going to say we're for sure in the 20s.
I know one person that has us be it.
Who?
Jake Paul bought like 20 jets.
Yeah.
Oh, that's true.
We got a whole semi truck from here.
That is true.
I do know that when I said that we were coming,
they thought about staying open late for you, Michael.
Yeah, every time I come in here, of course,
I'm like, you know, everything looks like it would belong.
in my garage and fit really nicely in there.
Did you bring your checkbook?
No, but I could get it.
They'll take credit cards.
Don't you worry about it.
Right now.
Something tells me they'd probably let you wheel it out, Mike, and they would.
They know where you live.
You can pay later.
They know where you live.
I saw a couple rigs you might be interested walking around here.
Exactly.
Yeah, which ones, Ken?
There's a classic one back behind the, behind all the side by sides.
That little quad?
Yeah, the little guy.
Yeah, the little guy.
I was thinking that was good for you, a badger.
I might be too big for it.
I love it. Ken's like, I found something good for you.
All he says is it's a classic one.
I hope it gets sold, though, because the story is the kid that's selling that on
consignment gets a brand new 110 when that sells.
Oh, that's lit.
The deal he has with his dad.
Do it for him, Mike.
Come on, Mike.
What is this for now?
Sorry.
It's a little four-wheeler.
If the four-wheeler sells, the kid gets a dirt bike.
Badger 80.
Let's put some dreams of drive-ways.
How can you just buy that thing?
We'll just wheel it in the middle here, I feel like.
And then it's a good cause.
I'm down. We still haven't done pit quads, however long we've been YouTube.
We have not done pit quads.
We need to put that on the list for this here.
I would like to do what we did with the 120 MXZ and just put a stupid fast electric motor in it.
That would be so dangerous in that short wheelbase.
No suspensions.
And then on the other one, we could pull the motor from your 250.
Yeah, we could do that.
And gear it.
And then you'll have a bad day.
That would be nice for me, a little pit quad.
I've been looking for like a good pit quad, but none of them really.
I don't feel like they've got the jumping.
There's really no such thing.
They're not as good.
You're right.
You're right.
You need the Yamaha blaster.
The blaster?
A little bit bigger, but like, in my opinion, it's the perfect picture.
But it is ancient.
The blaster.
I mean, you could get one up to 2005.
Okay.
Not that old.
20.
Speaking of the mini snowmobiles, Ben, what?
You brought them to your family's house over Christmas.
And I just saw them return to the shop all mangled up.
And I wondered how, in the heck,
did they break little mini snowmobiles i own a mini snowmobile and i'm fairly destructive and i never
crashed my well ryan i got a great story for you how the hell did you break them you want to know something
i'll just say before ben's story happens here is this is literally this was my childhood if i ever left
my dirt bike at bens a pedal bike a scooter anything i would come back and it would be broken something
would have happened to it and no one knew how it broke every single time i don't quite remember it like
Little Cuzz vibes.
I don't know.
It's kind of his, his M.O.
I don't know if it's his M.
If it's just that house's ammo, I don't know what it is.
But let's hear the story.
How did the call?
How did they get banged?
Yeah, this one actually wasn't on me.
Yeah, right.
Okay, so I have four nieces and nephews, two nieces, two nephews.
And they are like eight, five, three, and two.
So I thought that they'd be old enough for snowmobiles.
And I've like every Christmas for the last, like,
three years, I've been telling my siblings, like, can I get them sled? And up until this point,
like, they've been like, no, they're too young or they're not ready. The older two are, like,
the girls. And last year, I had gotten them, like, little plastic four-wheelers to, like,
ride around in the house. And they got the skill base there, I guess. And my siblings were like,
okay, yeah, you can get them these snowmobiles or bring these snowmobiles over. And we'll give them
helmets and like prep them and get them ready for this right so nothing can go wrong i was fired up on
it so we have these two little snowmobiles that we built last year for a sea boys video one of them is a little
skidoo 120 pop up a picture of it and then we put an electric battery and motor in it and the thing will do like
60 miles per hour but you brought the 250 one right too so i brought that one but no the one with the 250 motor in
it no i didn't bring that one because it sucks it's sorry and they'd have to shit
It would be a big.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I brought them the electric skidoo that has modes so you can detune it to go like 10 miles per hour.
Oh, you can.
That's what I was thinking.
I was like, okay, you threw a bunch of children on like, you know, an hour high horse power.
Like this thing is fast.
Yeah, it's a ripper.
It does really.
It does 60 miles per hour with Evan on it.
It's a ripper.
And then the other one is like the Articat 200, which will do, I don't know, 25 miles per hour.
But it's a hopped up 120.
It's better.
Yeah.
And so, anyway, I surprised.
them with both of them and me and my brother and my brother-in-law go and pick them up from the shop.
We bring them to the shop or to my parents' house and we had this whole plan where my brother was
going to get the kids their helmets and then me and my brother-in-law were going to pull out into
the front of the house and they were going to be like looking out the window and see us with the snowmobiles.
So my brother goes inside and we unload them and I'm like, all right, to my brother-in-law,
James, I go, all right, you wrote a snowmobile before, right?
And he's like, yeah, not thinking anything of this, right?
It's a 120.
Yeah, which one do you put them on?
I put them on the 120.
Wait,
the electric.
I put them on the electric sked-do.
I put them on the electric's
because I had to go over that 200s,
a piece of shit.
Like, it will not start.
Like, there's something wrong with it.
So I'm,
before or after you guys wrote them?
Before.
Every time I started it,
I had to spray.
Oh, it is.
There's a reason we didn't use that one
in a video because it sucked.
Yeah.
So I'm over there,
messing with this,
200, spraying ether in it, trying to give it gas and, like, pull the pull start.
And all of a sudden, I just hear, oh my gosh.
And I look back, and James, sorry to blow up your spot here, James, is like underneath this snowmobile piled up into the pine tree.
My favorite part is that this happened within seconds of riding it.
I'm like, James, what the fuck?
And I, so I run over there.
I like, get this snowmobile off of him.
I'm like, bro, what happened?
And he's like, I slipped.
And I was like, slipped?
Slipped.
This is a children's toy.
How did you slip and run this thing into the tree?
His hand slipped.
Yeah, he crashes up and then Ben starts reaming him.
It's a twist throttle.
Oh, it is.
It's a twist throttle.
So when shit starts going south, you grab more.
Your whiskey throttle.
Oh, I was like, slipped translates to whiskey throttle.
I don't know how it's kind of, yeah, so it translates there, right?
So I'm just like, bro.
And then I go, are you sure you know how to ride this thing, right?
We got to get both of them to the front of the house here and we're in the driveway.
And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.
I just slipped.
And I'm like, well, don't slip again.
Otherwise, you're going to run into my car right there with my parents' house.
Did you tune it down for him?
Yeah, why don't you put it on one?
I did at this point.
I did at this point.
So originally, though, it was.
I think it might have been zooted up.
And so I tune it down.
I tune it down.
I hop on the other one, and I start driving around the garage.
Meanwhile, he's a big guy, right?
Like, he's tall, and that's a tiny little, it's a children's toy.
And he's, like, just trying to sit on this thing.
And I think while he's trying to get comfortable,
he starts whiskey throttling again.
This time I'm in front of him.
So he starts whiskey throttling towards me.
And so I jump off my slim and I hide behind it.
And thankfully, he's like,
got a better seated position where he's able to like stand up and get off of it and it kind of
ghost rides a little bit but he wasn't on the throttle my gosh and I'm like look at him I throw my
hands up and he's like I'm good I'm good I was like yeah sure it sure it looks like it sure it looks like it
so we bring it around to the front of the house we surprised the nieces and nephews they were stoked
they come out and uh my brother's on one I'm on the other I'm trying to teach my niece and my
brother's trying to teach his other daughter.
We're doing laps on the pond, and I'm just like riding behind.
I'm teaching them, you know, how to run the throttle.
And I'm telling them, all right, if you start panicking, let go with the throttle.
I'm like telling them, like, all right, you're doing good.
Just remember, let go with the throttle if you start panicking.
So you didn't go over tuck and roll first.
I did not.
I should have.
So I'm trying to make it like as clear as possible.
Like panic?
Let go.
So worst case, jump off.
Like these things are so close to the ground.
You could just slide at that point.
And so they're loving it.
Pretty soon they're both riding them by themselves.
The older one was riding the ardecat by herself.
Well, that ardecat was so finicky.
So we put her on the skidoo.
She's doing great.
She's ripping around the pond on the skidoo.
We go inside.
Well, she like comes up like 30 minutes later and is like,
the snowmobile stuck in the cat tails.
The DNR listening right now is like cat tails.
It gives a six-year-old a ticket for killing a couple of cat-tails.
So she piles into the into the cat-tails.
My brother goes out there and he drags a snowmobile out.
And at this point, she'd been going for a little bit.
So he goes, do you want to go inside now?
And she was like, yeah, let's go inside.
So Sam hops on it, cranks the power back up because it would barely move with like a full-size adult on it.
So he cranks the power back up to like 60 miles per hour mode, right?
He's sitting there, she hops on, grabs the throttle and pins it.
He falls off the back.
Because this thing will wheel, if you pin it, it'll wheelie.
He falls off the back.
And at this point, she is just holding it pinned wide open along for the ride.
So next thing you know, she is belining it across the pond.
And like, you guys, it's not a small pod.
Yeah, you can get some speed built up, especially on that thing.
Well, she hits the neighbor's driveway, which is a booter.
It's like a little peninsula in between two ponds.
And this driveway is probably, I don't know, 12 feet wide, I'd say.
15 feet wide maybe.
Clean clear?
Clean clear.
Oh, my.
She cleared the driveway?
She clean clears it.
Lands on the other side of the driveway.
Still on the slide?
At that point, she had like kind of like.
Superman, like bailed off the slide.
The sled goes one way.
She goes the other.
My brother's sprinting after, like halfway.
You know, he's at the beginning of the pond at this point for how fast she got there.
And, uh, yeah, she missed like two trees.
Like, she like goalpost right in between the trees.
And you know that driveway is made by like railroad ties too.
So it's like a big jump.
Yeah, it's crazy that she was able to like clear it the way that she was.
Well, that and if she would have kept going, it's like a solid wall on the other side of that.
Yeah.
It was actually probably best case on the area, right?
So my mom is sitting up in the house
And she just happens to look out the window
As Luca is flying across the pond
And Sam is running after
So my mom watches it
My mom's like, oh God! And I hear that
And I'm sitting in the driveway
You got James is back on there, huh?
Sitting in the driveway
And I just go white.
I'm like, oh shit, uncle is in trouble.
I already knew what happened.
And so yeah, she ended up being okay.
She just got like a little bit of, you know, like, helmet rash just from like the strap, which is just kind of goes to show how tough kids are, you know?
Yeah. And you take a fall like that.
What she crying?
Oh, yeah.
She comes in.
She's crying.
She won't even look at me.
Somehow I'm the bad guy, right?
And I'm just like, oh, this is not good.
Why would you do that?
Because she was loving it.
And I was like, I'm Uncle of the Year, right?
I'm fired up.
And then that happens.
And I'm like, Uncle's got to go.
Now you're scary guy who brings scary toys.
Exactly.
So, you know, I start, I kind of lay low then for the rest of the night.
And, like, I would look at her across the house.
She would start crying.
She would start crying.
She's not good.
And I had to leave, I had to edit the new video.
And I get a call from my mom or dad.
And they were like, yep, well, the kids are back riding again.
I'm like, oh, God.
That's good.
They weren't ruined, right?
Well, that's what I thought.
That's where it ended, right?
I'm still wondering when the thing breaks.
I was like, we've had five crashes and somehow it's still not broken yet.
So then that night, I got a call from my dad, and he's like, did you hear what happened?
And I'm like, oh, my God, what happened now?
Well, apparently they're in the front of the house then, later the next day.
And my same niece was turning the sled around.
whiskey throttled the other one
so she grabbed it instead of twisted it
freaking ran that thing into my parents' deck
and it shifted the whole deck eight inches
bro.
That's a heavy-duty post.
It's a fucking solid log.
It missed like hitting the front of the house,
which is windows.
It somehow missed.
They like bounced off of like the bushes
and it just sent her straight into the deck
and it almost hit her sister.
Did she fly off?
I mean, if she moved the post,
she had to fly.
The snowmobile took the brunt, maybe she flew off.
Hit it pretty good.
And so I hear this, and I'm like, oh, of course.
Of course that happened.
Then I was like, well, I'm on my way.
I can pick them up then.
Is anything messed up?
I was like, if they're okay, like, are these snowmobiles piled up?
And they're like, no, they're fine.
They're fine.
I was like, holy shit, this is a tough snowmobile.
Move the deck.
Move the deck, but it didn't end the snowmobile.
Well, then I'm there that night and I'm looking at it in one skis like this.
I'm like, oh, you guys must not have a look.
at the snowmobile then so the skidoo front end is piled up from James hitting the tree and then the
other one is all kitty wallace from hitting the deck but they actually hop back on them and they
still love them so no more power sports why didn't you put them on the lake wasn't the lake like a safe
option nothing to hit catch more speed to hit something faster Ryan I guess I suppose I'm just picturing
like us like the peaceful family Christmas everybody's inside and the family's all looking out the window
And there's just carnage going on.
It looks like fucking jackass out there.
It definitely taught a good lesson of throttle blocks are there for a reason.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, yeah.
It's funny.
It's why they make children's stuff comically slow.
Yeah, and then we put big motors.
Alex was asking me if I had any, or we had any,
or we had any, little mini kid snowmobiles for her nieces and nephews.
You probably thought better of it.
I said, we do, but I don't think they're.
They're definitely not good for, I was just thinking, yeah, this is good.
No, Ben showed what happens.
I love how it was a diverse kids and adults that were piling up.
Dude, it was crazy.
It was crazy.
So thankfully nobody got hurt.
Thankfully, I think they pounded the deck back into position.
And, yeah, I'm still uncle of the year, hopefully.
Really?
I don't know.
You know, it's up for debate.
But I want to hear about your snowmobile trip, Mike.
And I also want to hear about Evans.
Big gambling win.
Let's hear.
Can we hear about that first?
Evan sends a,
tell us.
Evan sends,
I'll just give a little context
to the listener,
Evan sends a text,
and he was online gambling
on his phone
and put $200 on,
what was it,
Red 18?
Is this going way back?
The big win,
I mean,
how many big wins have you had?
The one big win you sent us
on Christmas break.
They're probably always
generally an up and down.
It was on my drive home
on like Christmas Eve or whatever.
You were driving and online gambling.
Well, allegedly, no, it was...
You were riding into a car.
You were putting $200 on one singular number in real life.
How fluid you throw in, well, allegedly.
All driving home.
No, okay.
So, no, that...
That was insane.
Yeah, I was up and down.
I'd been playing for a while, and I was almost home,
and I was, like, right where I started.
But it was just $100.
I threw out hit.
So that was, like, $3,600.
So that was lit.
And so then I kind of laid low for a bit.
And now, the night before, I was probably in, like,
600 bucks and I was up to like
5 grand. Whoa.
Cashed out a thousand.
That's all you can cash out
per day. On this one thing he's getting.
Which, yes, it is all I could catch out but then I
laundered the rest.
So then
the next day we're watching the football game. We're sitting at the bar.
I think I was 400 in, but I
ram that up to $10,900.
But it was in like
thousand to $2,000
increments. So you were
just hitting multiples. You didn't win the 10K
in one swing? Not even close.
It was like an hour
of grinding. But you won
10K and what did you text
us in the group chat? I'm getting
Nikki some fake titty. Yep.
Yep. So
what did I say immediately? I said
stop now. Yep.
Pull your money or get off it.
Did you do that? Well, okay.
So,
No, listen, $1,000 a day.
So I've got $7,000 out.
So you've managed to hold yourself.
Well, listen, so I'm $7,000 out, and we roll into last weekend.
And my buddy, I have a couple buddies there playing it too.
And I'm like, I can run a, I've been hot.
Let me run a thousand here or whatever.
Like, no, or not on one, but I'm just saying, because I got my little strategy or whatever.
And so I'm like, I'm just going to run this, play around with it.
And I lose a thousand.
I'm like, all right, whatever.
Whatever.
Well, I throw out $200 on Red 18.
Well, I lose it like once or twice in a row, so I'm down.
So now I'm, okay.
So now I'm $200 on Red 18.
It hits.
What?
My phone glitches.
No.
And it wasn't just me.
I'm like, wait, what the fuck just happened?
Yeah, I'm freaking out.
I'm like, oh my God, because I'm like screaming.
I'm at the table with all my friends.
I'm like, oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
What just happened?
What just happened?
And I just see comments start coming up.
Like other people are commenting.
Like, what just happened?
What just happened?
It just kicked me.
What just happened?
I'm like, what just happened?
It refunded me my bet?
No.
That is bullshit, dude.
I said, I'm done.
So I had like 1,400 left in my account.
I cash that out, and I'm done.
There is no trust, no faith.
Yeah.
I'm just done.
So at the end of the day, what did I get?
Like, $8,400 of my $10,000 win.
The real question, is Nikki still getting
the fake tits.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just waiting until probably after tax season
to make sure that I got all my
I got all my shit tucked away,
but then, yeah, no, it's definitely on the agenda.
You don't think you could write off that?
Probably could.
How'd be a $7,000 hit?
Wow.
Ish, right?
35 to 1?
36.
36 to 1.
36 to 1.
You would have won 72.
200, yeah.
Holy molly.
Dude, that shit's such a scam.
I guarantee they were just like,
because that's a big fatty.
It's a big win.
Yeah, that seems fishy.
And it'll show you it'll pop on the bottom of your screen like what other people are winning.
And I mean, I've seen 15 grand pop up on there.
I've seen some big numbers.
But the only thing that, like immediately I'm like, this is such a scam.
But then I do remember that it has happened once or twice before where it jams up and it refunds my bet.
But it had never been when I had won.
Oh.
So it didn't bother me.
It's like, you know, here's your $50 back.
It's like, oh, never thought too much about it.
But when you see the ball drop into Red 18 and rolling around in there and you go, I just, this is insane.
Yeah.
And then it just like, glitches out.
I would delete the app and never played again.
Explain to me like, what are your friends saying?
What's Nikki saying when you hit that 10K and you're just like freaking out in the bar?
You had to have been like, Nicky's getting new tips.
Like the whole place had to have been.
It's so, yeah, because it was like, what's the word I'm looking for?
The, like, progressive.
Well, yes, but no, but like progressive betting, you know.
So it's like, I get up to the thousand, then you start betting a little more, and then you hit, like, then I'm at, like, 3,500.
So I'm like, all right, now I bet a little bit more.
So I'm just working it up, and Nicky's not paying attention to what I'm doing.
And I don't know, the bar was kind of busy.
There was a lot going on, but me and my buddy Will, he was, like, locked in with what I was doing.
and then I hit like five grand and I told him like dude I think I'm going to get the 10 grand
because I've been saying that Nikki's getting Nicky's getting tits when I get the 10 grand
I don't want to just spend the money it's way better if I could like win it just like you can
fill your way up so I'm like yeah I get to like that 5,000 I'm like oh my god will like
I'm gonna do it I might actually be able to pull this off
I mean you could at least get a good down payment for it and then yeah sure is shit it just is like
running up and no one knows what
I'm doing and I like hit it goes up to like yeah 10 nine in the account or whatever and I just like
stood up and you told everyone in the bar yeah and like nobody knew what the hell I was the Viking
Packers game was on and I was more locked in on my phone what's this little guy doing back here yelling
about some girl getting tits yeah yeah exactly you know we were taking bets ev um that it's gonna be
all gone we thought you were gonna flush it and I don't know if it was on our podcast our last podcast or not
but Ken did he did say this he said
If Evan flushed it, I'm going to buy Nikki fake tits.
I, can I lie?
Can I say, I did.
I lost it all.
No, no, no, no.
You already went through the full story.
Hey, what's flip a coin for who has to buy him?
How is that fair?
Don't make him think too long.
You said you already, you already have the money for it,
and you're just waiting for tax season.
He said he was going to do it for her for the fact that you would have told her.

After your purchase, they will ask you where you heard about them.
Please support our show and let them know that we sent you.
Let them know.
You're getting them and then you flushed it.
I thought it was going to be great.
You know, Evan says he's going to buy Nikki these tits and then he just gambles the money
away so then somebody has to do it for you.
But apparently you already have the money for it.
So you know, you can't say you're going to do.
I wish I would have been a degenerate.
Would that been like a lease kind of deal?
A lease to own kind of deal, I feel like.
So I, like, why are you buying them or am I like paying you for them?
No, it's like a least own kind of deal.
With the lease, some.
No, Ken needs the payment.
I, like, I'm paying for it and you're just like paying me monthly.
No.
Well, like once the lease is over, then you own them.
He's not buying them anymore.
Listen, man, the bank doesn't get to drive the car they give you the loan.
on, so don't get too excited.
Just a quick little motorboat every now and then.
Yes, motorboats.
Not teeks.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, well, we'll see.
Actually, that has to be cut.
Not like, no lie.
That actually has to be cut.
No, like, no, just actually cut that.
Like, just cut that fucking line.
I'm not joking.
Just fucking cut it.
We are done on that topic.
Ken, Ken.
Ken.
We already went to the old.
over this yesterday.
This is a brand deal.
So we'll cut it.
It's okay,
bud.
I'm being fucking serious.
If I hear that the goddamn line
in this podcast,
like actually.
People are going to be so confused.
Tom's over here like,
what the hell's going on?
Like Evan,
that whole fucking line has to just be cut.
I'm keeping all this.
Like I'm being dead ass serious.
Jill is here.
Chill out.
We're going to cut it.
I just know if I don't make a fucking scene about it,
it's not going to get cut.
Everything's cut except for you.
You made yourself clear, Ken.
Honestly, I don't...
Will you keep...
Ken, I apologize.
I wouldn't have made the joke if you...
But you literally just said you were going to motorboat my girlfriend.
Okay, next topic.
Okay, I'll just go...
I just want to wrap that little piece up, though.
Put a bow on it.
I was actually low-key hoping you were going to flush to 10K as well, Evan, because I thought it would have been absolutely ridiculous for just the storyline and everything.
to add to whatever you call our lives,
if Ken bought your girlfriend's food job.
I mean, you still can.
I think it would be good.
I don't think.
No, you already said you got the money for it.
So you're good.
Now you pissed,
Ken,
yeah.
Ken,
what else are you upset about lately?
He's going to motorboat Evans' girlfriend.
He's cool with that.
Well,
if I paid for it,
I feel like I got a little bit of a right to.
I'd be down like one 10 second motorboat for 10 grand,
$1,000 a second.
He said every once in a while.
Everyone's like,
my logo is all over this place right now.
we got to talk about.
Yeah, something.
Something.
We can talk about Mike's snowmobile trip to revel.
I just, yeah, I think I'm going to just, I'll hit the highlights so we don't have
another big door situation.
I know, Ben.
Remember the Vegas situation?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, they hyped it up, like it was the craziest time ever.
We're like, oh, I can't wait to hear it.
It was.
We just clearly didn't do a good job telling it.
You know, I know Ben's story about his little snowmobiles got a little, I'm just kidding.
Uh, no.
The snow.
The snow in Revelstoke was insanely deep,
and it was probably the deepest I've ever ridden,
so that was fun, right?
Like, it was everything you could ever ask for, right?
But the second day, I got tree welled,
and it was budging, terrifying.
Like, the snow will be,
there'll be a hole around a tree.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, and you drop in.
I was like, you know, making a rip up,
and I bounced off a log,
and, like, just in that situation,
should have not came in with as much crazy,
just like, oh, yeah, let's go.
And I should have just let,
you were in the woods, right?
Or in the album.
Yeah, up on the steep, you know, tree-up area, and I bounce off of this, and then my sled hits the tree and kind of just, like, I fall and I just, like, go funk.
How far down you think?
I'm probably sitting in the snow like this with my arm stuck here, and then the sled hits the tree and kind of bounces and, like, lands like this.
Oh, my gosh, that is terrifying.
Boys, I'm talking, I'm under the snow.
Goggles, helmet, fully covered.
Just think of the throttle got stuck or something.
And I'm under the snow like this and immediately
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's so scary.
Turn it off.
The sled was off, had the tether, so that was good.
But I'm, I can't see anything.
And then I'm panicking like crazy for 15 seconds.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, don't panic.
Because it's just going to use your oxygen 10 times faster.
And I'm still like, okay, okay.
And then I'm like, I can't get to my radio.
And then I'm just like, move my head around.
And then I like, clear my face.
And I'm like, okay.
I can breathe.
I'm not going to die.
But then I'm like, how is anybody going to find me?
And then after that, buddy Jeff, Jeff Dennis, a.k.
Sled junkie comes up.
And luckily, he, I don't know, you know, I think so saw someone up there.
I'm going to go this way.
And he, like, drives right over me and, like, pushes a little more snow down.
But luckily, this is after I cleared.
So I cleared out.
And then, like, the snow's, like, right there.
And I'm just, like, restuck again.
I'm like, well, at least he saw me, I think.
We were in such a little steep area that it took him like two more tries to get back to me.
But I was chilling.
I'm just like stuck in the snow like this.
And then he eventually made it up there.
Dude, I need help.
Yeah, it was terrifying.
And also, so I'd say two things.
One, I'm just going to do my best and not end up in a tree well ever again.
And two, I can't even imagine being an avalanche.
I was just freaking out for like 10 or 15 seconds.
And like I was fine.
So they found you.
Yeah.
And how long were you stuck in there?
I like a minute.
Oh, wow.
They got you a quick.
A minute and a half.
A couple minutes, I'm sure.
Yeah, I don't know.
It goes,
time goes fast.
I thought I had it on GoPro.
I did.
I finally, like,
got my helmet off and then, like,
started recording and, like,
I'm like,
freaking hyperventilating.
You even, like, pop the clip up.
I know.
I do want to put the clip in.
It's just,
it was like,
it was like, and then, yeah,
I look up in my snowmobiles right there.
And I'm just like,
hanging in the tree.
And then it was one of those like,
all right the rest of the day i'm just like i'm just happy to be you're just happy to be alive yeah yeah
it is scary about snowbuilding like snowmueling goes from fun to scary so fast yeah you can go
from fun to scary when you're in your front lawn i mean you can you got to respect the power
okay that was fudging terrifying slides up there i'm stuck in a tree well
I couldn't breathe for a little bit.
Oh my gosh.
And then someone came by and buried me with more snow.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, that was terrifying.
I was only like a foot under, but that was, that was terrifying.
I came from that way and somehow my sled is pointed that way.
That's scary.
I was trying to get back up here.
Oh, you're good.
I knew you were.
I came over and I was like, oh my god!
You, uh, when you came over, it didn't like re-burying me, but it made it harder to get out.
I'm sorry.
You're good.
That was terrifying.
I was, uh, I was fully under the snow for 30 seconds, but...
but that was scary i like fucking tried to come up right here and i had so much snow on my hood that it
wouldn't my son wouldn't breathe i was like fuck you're gonna turn around again who i wasn't sure if
there was anyone there i never saw you yeah you know what that story kind of reminds me of i don't know
if ken's ever told on this podcast but you remember when you were a kid ken you and your dad got lost
somewhere yeah we had to sleep outside like they were like it was just me and my dad we were in uh
we're in wyoming somewhere and the weather just flipped on a
dime and we just got, just went white out conditions and we got lost, got off the trail,
and then it was just like, okay, we're just literally in the middle of the fucking forest.
We had to sleep out there. We had to sleep out, like, outdoor boys.
Did you have like a kit?
Nothing.
Nothing. I was on like a, what were they?
Scoo do freestyle.
Yeah.
And my dad had like some.
How old were you can?
Machine.
Those were lame even when you were 14.
I was probably eight.
Eight or ten?
Keep in mind, a freestyle is a trail automobile that's not even full size.
So you, so tell the story here.
So like we, you know, eventually it's just like, okay, we found like a, you know,
we got lost because it was in the middle, you know, it was a clearing opening.
And eventually we found like a tree line.
And it's like, okay, we just got to stay here until the visibility improves.
But you didn't actually sleep.
It was that kind of scary.
Just sat there basically?
I mean, we basically just kind of sat there.
My dad built a fire.
And then.
Wait, so you did have some supplies.
No, it was like he had to build a fire.
But not like a sleeping bag or anything else.
Bob is an eagle.
We didn't have the pizzazz
We forgot the Starlink in the truck
Yeah
But you know
It was no Starlink
It was enough to like
You know you had a fucking hand saw
And something else
So you had some supplies
I didn't have to chainsaw either
But Bob is an Eagle Scout
Right
Your dad
Yeah yeah
Yeah so I mean
Thankfully it wasn't like
Being stuck out there
With all say me
I'd be I'd have no
You just be cold the whole time
Well I mean
Just be cold
It's kind of more so like
okay we just got to stay here until the visibility improves and then you know hopefully we were
able to find our way to a trail or some kind of civilization you know somebody where we can figure out
how to get back to the hotel weren't you guys only like a few miles like not like not even 10 miles
I think we were like we weren't even I mean it was like my dad was calm so it kind of he kind
of set the tone of the situation where he kind of stayed pretty chill about it so it wasn't like
he's not panicking making everything worse but you guys were trying to ride
off trail.
I mean, I was young enough to the point where he'd be working, going for that.
My brother was doing that.
How did you get lost on the trail?
Because we lost, we lost visibility.
We didn't, you can't see anything.
Like, I'm basically just following him.
He eventually, like, loses the trail because it was so blown over where it's just like,
you know, in some of those spots in the openings, they have like markers every so often.
And eventually the markers just stopped and we couldn't find our way back to one of those.
Do the mounds are not to be messed with?
No, especially like, I can get gnarly.
When the visibility basically just drops to zero.
It's just like the ocean.
And we've gotten a lot better.
I mean, like what you just said, like we used to go out and care more about our GoPro than any, any gear, you know, besides like.
Yeah, we didn't bring a single piece of survival.
Yeah.
So it's changed a lot.
And, uh, well, we just started going with people that did.
Like, we used to go with ourselves because that's, we didn't know anyone else.
And then as soon as we like met people like, like.
Jay and Blaine and Sane and David and all these guys that live out in the mountains,
they know the severity of it.
And so we more just go where they tell us is safe because they know avalanche conditions
where before we didn't really know.
We didn't know avalanche conditions.
Like it's crazy, probably all the gnarly situations that we were in that could have
been triggered.
They always have like supplies of when things do happen like that where you have to spend
the night.
And those guys that we were riding with, it wasn't even suggestion.
And it was a requirement to have that stuff.
And I think a lot of people from the Midwest probably don't even have like
Abbey bags or beacons or beacons.
You can rent them now, which is good.
Does you motors rent Abby bags?
They said they'll sell them.
They do avalanche classes here.
I think if you're going to go to the mountains even once, you should take an avalanche class.
Yeah.
Like even just recreationally like for just a boys weekend, just take the dang Abby class.
I agree.
Like 200 bucks to probably, yeah.
A couple hours you come here and you hang out.
bunch of people in toxinobiles.
Especially if you don't know what you're doing and you're going out there with
some people who don't know what they're doing.
Yeah.
It's so.
It's seriously, it's like a lot of these canyons and terrain traps or death traps essentially.
Like if it's a wind-loaded face and somebody's up trying to hit a high mark line
and it triggers it and the rest of the crew is sitting down there watching, it could kill four
people potentially if it was big enough avalanche and nobody's wearing beacons or or, or
probes or abbey bags like did you guys see that avalanche that long track jack posted was that the one
in uh jackson hole or whatever the one that was like 12 feet deep yeah but it it was like a huge face
that released and then there was like a couple guys down below most of them got out of the way but
then one of them wasn't out of the way and it swept him away yeah that was in uh luckily he was
at the surface yeah he stayed on top they could they could find him but yeah the biggest takeaway
for the multiple group thing is like he the when I was at the class here he was saying and don't quote
me because it could be a little different but like your chances of survival if one person is buried
are actually pretty good especially if the people around you know how to but your chances of surviving
if two people if you're one of two people buried go down significantly so i don't know it's not like
you can really choose but you can you can kind of choose that but uh other than that the other highlight of
my trip was Spenny was he was in Revelstoke with Dalton and then when I went back he came back he's
like I'm gonna sled and I'm like I'm not gonna tell him like dude I don't think you should sled like if
you're ready with his his wrist cut if you're ready like come do it and we were all skeptical
he was even skeptical when we got to the parking lot he was like dude I'm scared he's like I don't
actually like I don't know how this is going to go and I just don't want to hold anybody out luckily
there you just go up to the cabin and the snow was insanely deep like 100 yards off the trail
and he killed it.
Did he?
Nice.
Dude,
it was like the last time I had FaceTime him,
he was moving his hand slow.
And then when he showed up,
he's just flicking it all over.
You know,
he's still got a journey,
but yeah,
it was crazy.
He's like,
pulling pull tabs with it.
Yeah,
he's pulling pull tabs with it.
Part of his,
uh,
physio,
which they call it physio in Canada.
I know we call it PT,
but they're always like,
oh, do more physio,
and he's always gaming and,
and by jacking off and whatever.
We play four night together every night.
That's probably good.
That's actually probably good.
That's actually probably,
Probably good because, like, you have to, you know, mind, hand-mind connection or whatever you're going to call.
I'm so surprised every time I FaceTime him and like his, the progress he's had in such a short span is, you know, it's amazing what medicine can do.
Lander's always like, oh, dude, get off Fortnite, whatever, hang out with me.
I'm like, I'm doing physio with Spini.
P.T. with Spenny. I'm doing PT with Penny. How's things, how's things looking with Spennie's immigration?
We got a couple little things we got to expand on. The government just, they always want just a little more.
information, but, you know, it's basically they just want to know a little bit more about, like,
you know, we're saying he's a pro rider.
How do you get to that level?
Like, what was his journey from start to where he is?
They want a damn podcast.
They do.
They want.
They on all.
That's basically what the lawyer described.
Like, we have to describe, okay, this is how he started.
This is the requirements for, you know, from where he started to where he is today.
And, like, race results, number of entrance, the requirements you have to have to get into these
races.
Are we sure this lawyer isn't lawyering?
Well, all lawyers are you got to be careful about that.
I'm sorry, but all lawyers are layer.
It's always one more thing with lawyers.
Well, it's like the government sends back this giant list of, okay, you didn't do this, this, and this.
And it's like, some of them are like, oh, he needs a scholarly article.
I was like, okay, the type of visa we're trying to apply for, scholarly articles are not even a requirement for that.
I mean, he has like red bullshit.
Like, that's probably the most professional.
Yeah.
And it's like we're just trying to, I think we got one document we got to send off.
He's in Forbes.
Is he?
Yeah.
Yeah, for jumping over that F1 car. He's in Forbes.
Oh, I think that might have been one of the articles.
Yeah, it's, we're like, what more do you want from the guy?
Written close, but, you know, we got 15 more business days and then see what they say, so.
Would you be willing to marry Ken, or Spenny, to get him in?
Would you do that, Ken?
What are the requirements for that?
What do you got to?
Well, you'd just go to the little white chapel in Las Vegas.
We'd make it quick.
You would have to be illegally binded.
You would have to.
We would, we would consider it.
You would have to, but we want you to.
There's it.
I would consider it.
I mean, I don't know.
He could move in with you, be a roommate.
That's true.
That's also not a requirement, though.
Pays rent, maybe.
You can charge your roommate's rent.
He's a good, he's a good homemaker, though.
He's a good, good cook.
Are you really going to charge your husband rent?
Yeah, exactly.
He just pays in his duties.
Well, you pay part of the mortgage.
You know, you got to split things, so.
You join bank accounts.
Join bank accounts.
So, Ken, how's your ice house going?
It's great.
Um, is it out on the lake now?
It's out in lake.
I do have to move it.
I gotta say freaking congrats, man.
Oh, thanks, bro.
Of course, I've always wanted an ice house.
And of course, I've always wanted one that big.
I've got the privilege of going in that once.
And I'm like, this is insane.
I didn't even know shit like that existed.
And now you own one.
So I'm just, he was looking to get rid of it.
I was looking to buy one.
So is a perfect moment.
I was in the room.
It's an ice home.
Why do you need to move it?
Uh, so I need to move it because it is really, it's like almost two miles out from the access.
and there's a snowstorm coming in in two days.
So I do need to move it a little closer to shore.
So it's not quite, it's like really far away from all the other ice houses out there.
You don't have a snow.
Why do you put it away?
Oh, you're on thick ice.
Yeah, because it's thick ice.
And then also like the one of the guys is like, oh, we, you know, bring it out here.
We got a cluster of two other ones out there.
Yeah, why did you go to that way?
Because the guide on the lake said, oh, you should go to this spot because it's got really good fish.
And there was really good fish the whole night.
You just living there?
I have lived there for.
Are you fishing?
Three of the last four nights.
You have a fishing license?
I do actually.
I bought a fishing license and the ice house license.
Because Ken,
at first you're like,
I literally am not going to drill holes.
And then we're all like,
you got to drill holes.
And then Gavin,
and then you guys are catching fish.
And now you're kind of a fisherman.
When is the fish fry?
We didn't keep any of them.
Well,
because there's a,
there's a slots.
You can only keep fish from like.
You're catching crappies.
You can keep crappies.
Well,
there's other fish too.
So what's the slot about?
I don't fucking know.
You can only keep fish from like one size or another.
Slots,
And none of the fish we caught, like, fell into that range.
So I was like, okay, now we got to throw them all back.
Yeah.
Safe, safe, better safe and sorry.
You're liking sleeping out there over your parents' house.
Well, ran out of propane one night, generator shop off another night.
But it's my own space.
So I can't put a price on that.
What happens when those two things stop working?
Is it freezing in there?
Yeah, it was freezing in there?
No lights?
No, the lights still work.
But it's like the propane doesn't work.
I had to go out and switch tanks.
The first question I asked you was regarding.
the septic and you said you're not using it because you don't have to deal with dumping it.
So how's that looking?
Yeah, what are you doing that?
Ice hole, huh?
No, you should just take a ship before you go out there and you can just piss on the lake.
And then I didn't know you had planning like that.
You got to plan this.
It's not just like, oh, we're going out there.
It's a luxury living, Ben.
I didn't think you could always have like able to manage.
Well, you just got to keep the diet consistent so there's nothing unexpected.
All right.
Is it possible that we could get the invite to come?
out here. I've seen... Well, yeah, there was all weekend. Nobody came out there last weekend.
I wouldn't say nobody came out there because I was seeing tons of people out there on everyone
else's stories, but I didn't hear anything about it. You guys could have came out there, but...
I mean, I'm not going to just invite myself to your ice house.
That's what other people do. They just show up and they have... I thought we were close.
I brought my fishing poles.
Well, probably you can come out there this weekend. It's got to move it quick and then...
Well, is it going to be on fish?
It might be on a different lake. Oh. I might move it over to Pelican.
That would be nice.
Wait. Where is it now?
Put it on the...
It's so far away.
It's so fucking far away.
It's so far away.
It's like a commute to work.
That's like 35 minutes to get out to that thing.
Well, it's basically right in front of Gavin's house.
Oh, I see.
The guide wanted it up there.
It's like you should put it right there.
Okay.
It's like a 30 second walk.
That makes sense why you didn't want out there.
I know I thought about driving down there and like just walking in and hanging out for a bit.
And then I googled or like found your pin and then did the thing to it.
it and it was like 38 minutes from where I was. I was like, bro, I'm not driving
38 minutes to have a beer. Were you nervous when you were dragging it out there being you
got the heaviest ice house and then you also have the heaviest vehicle with your Tesla
CyberThing. No, I actually, they're connected together. I did research a cyber truck is 6600 pounds. A GMC
Dermax 3,500 is like 78 or 8,000. So it is lighter. So you're rolling like 20,000 pounds.
Either way, yeah. Yeah. Ice road truckers.
It's a really big footprint.
It's a long footprint.
They do say that helps.
But I was very surprised by that too.
It's like you take a Tesla.
It's super heavy.
And then just to put this into perspective, you guys,
Ken's Ice House has not one, not two, but three slideouts.
Makes it feel massive in there.
It's great.
He's got a fireplace.
It's TV, put the Starlink out there.
It's fucking nice.
He's got a full kitchen.
Yeah.
He's got a oven, microwave, all that.
Not a bed.
It's only a.
Couch?
It's three pull-out couches.
A little short, just got to sleep at an angle, but...
Still better than sleeping at his parents.
You know, it's my own place.
I mean, definitely more of an adventure.
You're not looking for the Christmas stockings there.
I saw this picture of the guy who, like, rescues cars that go through the lake.
Christmas stocking.
And a smart car went through the lake.
What?
And I was like, damn, dude.
This guy had to think he was so smart driving a little smart car.
Put it through.
Pretty dense little nug, though.
That was, like, local, too.
That was only probably...
10 minutes from our shop.
Yeah.
It'd be kind of fun if someone, like, I guess not us and no one gets hurt,
but if someone put their truck through the lake and, like, they called us to come help us,
help them recover it.
What would we have to offer?
We would figure something out, but it would be fun.
You get a winch?
You didn't even think Mike could pull a truck out of the ditch and, like, four inches of the stone.
We're going to go do a vehicle recovery from a frozen lake 30 feet down.
Dude, I, I, I, I, CJ shows up with his little goggles and flippers.
crew come in.
Ken,
just snorkel down there and hook her up.
I met a guy in Canada who did recoveries like that.
I'm like,
oh,
that's cool.
So you've seen some pretty crazy ones.
And then I'm like,
how deep,
you know,
he's like,
oh,
like,
you know,
average of like the lakes there are deep.
So,
like,
he's talking about this one
that was 60 feet down.
And I'm like,
it just seems crazy deep.
And like they pull it up,
right?
And then they find,
like,
something lot,
like a tire iron lodged in the steering wheel.
And then,
like a pole lodged on the gas.
Oh, so they clearly did fraud.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, that's wild.
Did they, did they spoil it?
Or was it stolen?
I don't know.
They didn't think it would be recovered or what?
Or like a scuba diver would, like, go down there in the summer?
I'm not sure how that panned out, yeah.
But it might have been a stolen vehicle.
It could have been.
I was talking to a guy.
What a waste of a perfectly good stolen vehicle.
It was a Chevy, too.
I was talking to a guy and he was saying he charges like $5,000 a foot.
For, like, how deep it is, like, however deep the vehicle is, it's $5,000 a $4.
I don't.
I don't, I don't believe it.
No, I don't, I don't, I don't believe.
Was he telling you that before you drug your ice house out there or what?
Well, I made sure I put insurance on it before I took it.
I think it's extremely expensive, but if you're 20 feet down, it's not a hundred grand.
It's not a hundred grand to recover vehicle.
I know it is.
It ain't cheap.
No, it's a lot.
I wouldn't want to mess with it.
But you can't leave it.
D&R will get real upset.
You know what we'll never done.
Per day?
Down in Florida, if your boat sinks, you can just leave it and it costs a bunch of money to recover it.
And then you just say, you have it now.
Well, we were actually.
They never, they'll sit there forever.
So as long as you abandon the boat, you don't have to pay?
Yeah.
It's something I didn't know that.

It could happen in Alaska.
They got so much snow.
This is in Juneau.
So it's like so far north.
They got so much snow that the big barges and boats were sinking.
What?
They were sinking.
They got so much snow on the boat that they just sank.
Yeah, heavy, heavy snow.
What?
Isn't that crazy?
Is that word?
Jeff Dennis is?
Oh, that seems insane.
It was like a whole marina and all the boats were completely messed up.
So we're not talking like freight liner Titanic ships.
It's more like.
No, like shrimp boats.
Like chrimper.
hugboats and yeah like and they all sunk in the marina like the whole marina is sunk
yeah yeah a lot of it which is awful because up there that's like how they get around and
also just like it's one thing to do recovery in florida when like it's not freezing
yeah i got to worry about as an alligator yeah when you're doing recovery in pretty much the
north pole like i can't think of a much worse job yeah ken i think this guy might have been
trying to retire off of you what's chats are you finding i'm seeing like complex
Recoveries estimate between 6,500 to 12,000, high-end, very complicated cases, 8 to 20,000.
And I'm sure it varies.
Trust me, Ripin Ken's cyber truck and Ken's freaking 40-foot fish house out is going to be a very complicated case.
I don't know.
That's just what this dude was telling me.
He was like, they charged by the foot however deep it is.
We might need to get someone in there working on the spenny case with the lawyers,
being Ken's believing that shit.
Just to make sure we're not getting taken.
Yeah.
We looked into it because originally we were going to take our Timu razor to the Bahamas.
We were curious if it was going to make it and if it didn't make it, what does that look like?
What did we decide?
Yeah, what did we find out?
Well, we didn't make it out of the marina.
We made it to the, I mean, we tried in the video.
We made it to the mouth of the marina.
And we're like, yeah, screw this and we turned around.
But, I mean, I think if you lost it in international waters, it was kind of cool.
You could probably leave it then.
I think you just kind of...
You just got to get 10 miles out.
Florida would be the best place to sink something
because they literally have those little towboats driving around.
Yeah, and I remember when I did that snowmobile skip across the ocean,
the C-toe guy was there and we told him what we were going to do and he was just chilling.
Like, oh, yeah, I'll help you.
Like, it sounded like if I sank it, we probably would have had it out of there in an hour
and just already been done.
Like, you know, like it would have been quick.
It would have cost money.
But you didn't.
But, but, uh, I don't know.
I think it would have been the best place to that.
actually think something.
What is a tugboat?
Why are they so powerful?
Tugboat,
to me is like a diesel.
Why can it like pull a ship?
A tugboat is like a little diesel
just a tailing tractor.
They've got big props and big motors.
That thing's got to have some torque.
It is kind of fun as they call it.
Ev, you're kind of a little tugboat.
Sorry to pull a little in front of your tugboat.
Medium-sized tugboat.
We saw a crazy video yesterday.
A 22-minute video.
of a guy talking shit, just going after our boy shred 80,
who was apparently his friend.
Apparently.
It doesn't really seem like a...
It was hilarious, I thought.
It was funny.
Like, hilarious in a ridiculous way.
And I stand with Gavin, but, like, it was pretty funny.
I couldn't take him seriously, but he did have some valid points.
I wouldn't say that.
I'm not saying that.
He made a lot of valid points.
Oh, my gosh.
It went in on him, though.
Like, we asked Gavin.
we're like, what's up with this?
Did you know about this?
And he's like, yeah, I knew he's going to make a video clowning me,
but I thought it was going to be like a TikTok.
And it was a full feature with like receipts,
22 minute long YouTube documentary.
I mean like five, a solid five minutes was just our video cut out.
Yeah, which are good, by the way, C.Y's TV.
I think it was a guy just like trying to get clicks, obviously.
And he thought that going after Gats,
Gavin and saying that he wasn't like a true three-wheeler guy while he's got like his three-wheeler
collection in the background. But like, bro, nobody's doing more for the three-wheeler community
than Shred 80. I hate to break it to this guy in the rest of the three-wheeler world, but like
nobody was doing anything with three-wheelers before Gab. And also, I don't know how much more
there is to do. Like, he's the biggest. That's actually where it was tough because coming, when he comes
around, we try to give them good
YouTube advice.
And Ben first and foremost is like, dude,
you know, of course, love the three-wheeler
gig, but diversify.
Like, you're such a good entertainer.
Do anything.
Do all kinds of stuff.
But he keeps doing them.
He loves them.
Yes, and then he keeps,
he triples down on three-wheeler.
And he said, he's a, he's a phone.
Yeah, this guy's not.
He's like, he's going to Vegas
and he'll just do whatever the C-boys want.
You know, like he didn't say that.
He just said he's going to Vegas with the C-boys.
That's not something of three-wheeler,
Right. Basically that he's not filming three-wheeler videos, like makes him not an enthusiast.
Or like, oh, he didn't go to Trickefest because he went to Sturgis.
And it's like, that was funny too.
I think a lot of it was satire.
Like, I get that he was, it was like a joke.
I just don't think it was like executed that well.
I know like what he was trying to do.
But these three-wheeler guys get real butt hurt.
A lot of beef in the community.
But the four-wheeler guys, these quad guys, they get even more butt-hurt.
Really?
Bro.
Some quad guy on TikTok, I have no idea who he is or what his name is.
But essentially he was riding a Stark swap four-wheeler that some company made.
And then all the comments.
So at the beginning of the video, he was like, I'm the first person just actually send it on an electric four-wheeler.
And then all the comments are like, no, you're not.
Seaboys did this like a year ago.
And there's hundreds of comments and people saying that.
he comes on another TikTok and is like all these C-boys fans
how much are they paying them coming after me when like I didn't say I was the first
person to ride it I was the first person to send it like just a classic quad guy being
butt hurt like I was like what is this dude doing I mean I went like 80 feet on it
yeah I'm pretty sure he hasn't jumped it's very commendable one no I uh I did comment on that and I was
just like, bro, like, it's the same thing when we did the jet ski jump and everyone's like,
Ossa cruiser did it first.
I'm like, we're not asking our fans to say that obviously.
And I'm like, we're just trying to have fun.
And I was like, I wish these things were production units.
Like, why is it so cutthroat?
Like, what's the big deal?
Sorry that our fans said that.
Dude, who gives a shit if someone did it first already?
Like, oh, since someone built an electric four-wheel and now no one else can do that.
Like, I don't know.
People on the internet just think.
Like if someone already did something, no one else can do it.
Like just think of you looked at that when the first motorcycle was made.
Oh, they've already made one of those.
We can't ever make any more.
You know, like, it's just a dumb way of thinking.
Yeah, we actually like never care when somebody like, top is an idea.
I'd be pumped at that guy made a start.
One is like, they're great.
They're sick.
They should really bound to happen.
They should sell them.
They should sell them.
I've literally told Stark.
We were quick to it, but it's like it's not.
I mean, I'm sure there's going to be thousands, like tons of them.
Yeah.
It'll probably be.
production thing at some point.
It should be.
The biggest thing in Quads is...
I wouldn't go that far, though.
I mean, a four-wheeler production?
No, but I mean, who knows?
Maybe Stark will make them.
But, I mean, the whole thing with quads,
I mean, Yamaha's the only company
that makes a quad now.
So, like, most of the guys that are quad guys
are all running hybrid custom builds.
So, like, after somebody makes,
say, that company that made that Stark swapped,
and then all of our subs are just in the comments,
like, C-boys did it first,
C-boys did it first.
they then get so mad reading the comments
and then they just flip on us and like
well fuck the C-boys like they didn't even send it
or like theirs was a piece of shit like I was reading the comments
like hitting on our it was stock it's not even comparable
it's like pro what we don't care
we didn't get like pro modos
trust suspension on it shoot but it's like we're not even involved
and they probably aren't salty at us until they see like the comments
and then they just flip on us like
we're somehow the problem of it.
So, like, that's, that's what happens.
Like, I guess I just, I've seen that multiple times.
We do not care if somebody does the same thing that we did ever.
It's the internet.
You know how, like, hard it is to be original these days.
And it's definitely all how you package it.
Yeah, exactly.
I think you can build off other people's ideas.
If he can make his better, that's even awesome, good for him.
Yeah.
But in other news, so this is a special thing.
This is very rare does this happen in Quarmorant?
but a large piece of land popped up for sale.
Oh, yeah.
Two days ago and immediately, luckily,
luckily we have a pretty good reputation,
and a realtor called us right away and was like,
hey, do you want to come look at this?
So we went out.
Evan, you weren't there.
Micah, you weren't there, but we went and checked it out,
and we were stoked, dude.
It's just an...
Instantly, we weren't very sold.
Yeah, at first we weren't.
At first we weren't.
Very skeptical about that place.
Like, when it first popped up on Zillow,
I was like kind of, eh, do we really need it.
For the what, nine fucking pictures, Ken?
It was just like, ah, just looks like a little bit of trees.
Well, I'm glad I was able to get you there, Ken.
I'm glad I went there.
And then I hear you guys got there, and there was some extreme elevation.
Yeah, so anyways.
Or Minnesota.
You guys are going to love it.
We're going to film a video.
I don't want you to see it until I'm not going on.
But, like, Evan especially, you're going to love it.
Dude, there's so many trails.
There's, like, a bunch of deer stands, which, like, you know, only Ben really hunts right now.
But I'm planning on getting in.
When's the last time you went hunting?
This year?
Did you shoot one?
No.
I've killed more deer than the both of you.
Oh my gosh.
I'm the only hunter.
Ev, but meat night's going to go pretty hard.
Yeah, so anyways, but it's just, it's got a bunch of coolness to it.
Elevation.
There's like, debatably one of the bigger hills in the area.
It's got two ponds.
Two ponds.
One of them is connected to a small lake.
I don't know.
It's just cool.
Like, I, uh, we're, we're excited to get it.
And, uh, I think we're going to be able to do a lot of cool stuff.
like we got obviously a drift track.
We have like Moto track.
We have Enduro Cross track.
Like we could do some kind of woods track or, you know, I don't know.
The new zone.
Opportunities are endless.
New zone unlocked.
And the thing that's sick is that that, what is it called Arrow Lake?
Yes.
Pretty large size lake.
We can drop our jet skis and we can like, it's just like our actual unlocked body of water.
It's perfect for, you know, building ice tracks or whatever we want to do because there's not a lot of
people on it and I think we have less of a chance of getting you know DNR'd like that time in your
yellow soubie yeah so yeah I mean it's gonna be sick and also it sounds silly to say but we do we
what we have been missing in our videos is a little bit of elevation like we have a small hill at
the farm so it's going to be cool to just like I don't just just different change of scenery and
it's more land than we have at either of our current properties yeah it's just another investment
into the channel you know so we can keep making better videos so I'm excited for you guys to see it
So, like, I was like, yeah, this would be cool, you know.
And then when I got there, I was like, this is sick.
That's what I was alluding to.
Like, at first, it was kind of like, okay, yeah, it's some good land when we were walking it.
But then when we got back there on sleds, got to see all the trails.
It also came with a building with a bunch of junk in it, which you're going to love.
I'm going to love it.
It's a good.
That's amazing.
I was going to say, even if it was empty, it's a chest.
Even if it was empty, I don't know why.
I just love sheds, shouts, shouts.
It'll be kind of fun to go through it.
It's a building full of stuff that can go straight in the dumpster.
I think we could sell it a little bit, actually.
Yeah, we could do another little auction.
Garage sale?
Yeah, we'll do a garage sale.
It's going to be good to add to the collection of stuff next time that we do an auction.
I think you guys will see it this Thursday.
I got pulled over today.
Yeah, I saw that, Mike.
Do you remember which, how many this is?
79.
That's insane.
Can we get this checked?
Ken, can you do the thing where you check?
Because when we were in Florida,
one of our friends Jenna pulled up my record and I had it was like 17 or 19 speeding tickets but
it's not going to show the non tickets oh oh it yeah unless it only show like it only shows when you
have a like an actual like you got a ticket you paid it case closed did you get a ticket he actually
came back he was such a g I feel like saying this out loud to the public is like not going to be
beneficial to me but he was like I see you have a lot of speeding tickets and I don't know how many more
until you lose your license, so I'm going to cut you a break.
Wow.
We're no like I'm late for work, nothing like that.
That's all I said.
Yeah, I said I got a meeting.
I'm just like, I'm moving, sorry.
Why don't you just slow down?
Okay, that's the last thing I'm going to you.
Don't be ridiculous.
What the fuck.
Come on.
That's what I said to myself as I was driving away.
I'm like, it's funny that I'll do anything besides slowdown.
Like, that's not going to be good for your next morning.
You can you leave five minutes early or just be late.
No, the first thing I said.
Yeah, Mike.
Well, he's already late.
The first thing I said...
Because you already showed up to that meeting 20 minutes late.
The first thing I said, well, it was supposed to only be 10.
The first thing I said as I got into my back into the onto the road was,
I got to get my radar in this thing.
That's actually pretty cool of him because he could have seen you have a lot of tickets
and been like, all right, bud, you have a problem you're going to learn today.
It would suck so bad if you lost your license, Mike, like getting back and forth from work.
I don't know how you would do it.
I just would stay out work.
Oh, I'll tell you how he would do it.
So, Mike, there's this property that's got a perfect build site for you.
I could chunk off a little bit for you.
Oh, yeah, that was possibly part of our thought process.
You don't even have to sell me on that.
I was like, I mean, it seems like a sick place to have a.
And there is already living for us out there.
On, on, is it on that lake?
Yes.
You could part, you could build a house on that.
Yes.
I would consider it that.
You should.
Yeah.
It's actually a sick spot.
It's a really beautiful view.
Yeah, I got, okay.
Ken's going to put his stichos on that lake.
I mean.
He's already sold.
I think you should, though, Mike.
Yeah, it'd be sick.
It'd be sick to build a schouse.
For sure.
Yeah.
More room for your stuff.
Yeah.
Well, dude, it's pretty crazy for a guy that owns six vehicles in a water truck.
And I have a one-stall garage.
Like, that doesn't, the math ain't working.
Definitely doesn't make sense.
Yeah.
Especially if you're planning on buying some more stuff when we wrap up out of here.
Well, I should be able to be.
the way you're looking around.
I should be able to at least fit the, what is it, a badger, 80?
I think you got it.
If he's got it on consignment, buy it, let him get the pit bike.
The kid's dream is a one-tent.
Can we work a deal on it, you think?
Well, it's a consignment.
On that little badger over there?
You can only kick this kid?
Well, no.
He's going to buy it.
He's still not going to have enough for the pit bike.
I think you should give him a couple hundred over retail just to be nice.
I mean, he's going to need some money for mods.
We roll it in here.
Yeah, true.
Just buy it, Mike.
I know, I was thinking that.
We can use it for our mini pit,
Pick quad video.
I was thinking that earlier, like, you know, you're hoping after tax season, you got all your checks and balances so you can get Nikki those tits.
But you got a budget for like new bras.
But I suppose you'll, you're, no, I hope she doesn't run one.
Oh, geez.
All right.
So, Mike, bringing up.
Dude.
Whoa.
It's clean.
Really like that.
It's pretty nice, dude.
97.
It's almost as old as you, Mike.
A four-wheeler, actually.
Is this older than you?
No.
97?
Uh, yep.
It's not older than you.
Wow.
I'm a 96.
I didn't know it was, I thought Badger was just like a random brand, but it's like a Yamaha.
This is a nice rig.
Look how clean it is.
Wow.
I think it's a done deal.
Are you buying it?
Mike will take it.
You'll buy it?
Yeah.
You should buy it for your niece and nephews, Ben.
That sounds like a great idea.
I'll buy it.
Okay.
No.
Is this a, oh, it doesn't a thumbs throttle.
Who's buying this thing?
Mike bids it up.
Ben, what's your offer on this?
The sale price is 1899 or you can offer 1950.
I think you got it.
it, Micah. You look good on that thing.
Can you wheelie? Of course you can wheel it.
Hey, Joe, can we try and drive this thing
right now? We're pretty much
there. Oh, dude, you can wheel it
with nothing. Is it going to do?
How does handle it? Yeah, I guess I'll do it.
Okay. You even left the key on, like, a real
quad guy. Bring your truck with, or what did you drive?
I can't take it tonight. I can't take it tonight.
Why not? Throw it in my truck.
All right. It would fit in the gym. Done deal.
All right. I'll buy it.
That's nice you, Mike. Your pressure works so well, you guys.
You'll actually love this thing, man.
I mean, we haven't started it, but I'd imagine it runs because we're buying it from here.
Yeah.
I think this is a great purchase.
Mike, I've seen you buy a lot worse.
The thing is sick.
For more than this.
This is going to be an appreciating asset.
Just think about that.
It's already a classic.
And Penn's going to appreciate it.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Mike, if you don't buy this, we will buy this.
Well, I think it's like, why would you tell them that?
Well, either way, we need a bunch of pick quads.
I agree, but this is too nice.
So, but hey, hey,
Being seriously, genuinely honest, like, if I buy it, clearly the company wants to use it,
like, how does it make any sense for me to, like, to take that deal?
But you're going to ride it around in your free time.
Yeah, but here's the thing.
I have a mint three wheeler that I like riding more than this.
Yeah, but you also have a mint drift car and a mint whatever else.
Jets and all these other things you like driving too.
So, I mean, why not add one more?
Yeah, I'm confused.
Like, the mix of motions.
It's a good investment.
It is a good investment.
It has been looking for investment.
But you, I'm sorry, you guys.
You just said the company will buy it.
That was dumb, Ben.
That was supposed to be a cheap podcast, dude.
The podcast is low overhead.
Yeah, I'd let Ben buy it if I was here
because you know he's just going to get on the microphone and run it over.
If you do that, I'll actually be upset.
I think this thing has been far too loved.
It's like when I got my-anywhere near Ben.
It's like I got my two like nice snowmobiles.
They're like 20 years old and they're mint.
It's like I'm not bringing him to the shot.
They're going to be nowhere near.
Ben will borrow for the weekend.
That'd be all piled up.
That'd be a really good video.
I'm keeping them four hours away.
We break something of Evans.
No.
That would be pretty good.
Something you really don't break his shit for once.
That's not how it works.
Yeah,
it works out when I break your guys and stuff.
If you break my stuff,
then I'm just...
For the love of the game.
I think you've broken plenty of our stuff
for the love of the game.
Yeah, dude.
Late night, whatever you do around there.
I don't think I've broken much
that wasn't benefit.
Who broke the cabinets with the drift mark? Was that Dalton or was that you?
Oh, yeah, who drifted something into my cabinet on the end?
The lockers. It would have been a while ago.
Yeah, yeah, I remember, yeah.
That was you.
Not me, not Dalton. Someone we were hanging out with got a little whiskey throttle on an e-bike and did a little scary.
So you buy proxy.
But you by proxy. Did you invite them?
Debateably.
So then that comes back on you.
It was like a group. Yeah, it was a group deal.
Yeah, like when you go to Zorba's and then it's closing down, you invite everyone over.
No, it's not like broken.
It's just a little thing.
There's a rubber mark on it.
No, there's a piece of wood that got chipped off of it.
That's on the, that's on the bottom drawer.
It's not like busted.
It just was damage.
I will say this.
We had a content planning meeting yesterday of just mapping out pretty much like damn near the whole year.
We have so many ideas.
So many ideas.
And a lot of them require buying vehicles.
and a lot of them.
And a lot of work behind the scenes
even make the setting it up.
It's going to be a good year.
We got to definitely sell more T-shirts.
Got a lot of work out of it.
For what we have planned.
Every idea was big.
It was a good one,
but they were all expensive.
There was not a single cheap idea on the board.
But we're willing to invest in the content.
For less return than makes sense for a normal investment.
But we're willing to do it.
But then you have to do it.
But then you have other bits, like the quad concert is going to generate, what, millions?
You haven't seen my new rate.
Well, that's the rate that I get, actually.
Somebody's making millions.
Somebody's making money here.
Did he get his advance?
Like, how's this working?
Well, yeah, he gets his advance to produce the studio album.
And then he has to go on tour.
I was more talking about his other stuff.
And then that just, it did not go well for me.
Have you been dittying Ryan?
Well.
And that, yeah.
He signed the contract, so it's basically a done deal.
He's going to have me murdered and then make me pay for my funeral.
That is something that Sleazy agent would do.
You know, he'd be like, I'll pay for everything.
I'll pay for everything.
But right before you died, he just took all of your assets.
Well, it's CBDCJ.
He's got to get his money from somewhere.
Now I'm the agent, Ken?
Well, you're the producer.
I'm the producer.
Yeah.
You're Scooter Braun.
producer writer you just steal all the album revenue i steal all the i haven't seen shit yet so i mean
if that's the way we're doing it yeah that works for me and i get the memories we are talking about
doing some kind of event and ryan be the headlining performer so you're definitely gonna have to
learn how to do more than just one song right unless you want to do it like on repeat 15 times
i really don't want to i wish i shouldn't have done it so well because i don't know you crushed it the first
I'll give the credit to the editors on that one.
Oh, more than that.
But, I mean, I'm just saying I just made you guys have such a good time
that now I have to do it again.
I did have a great time.
I would have had a good time whether you did really good or bad, Ryan.
You would have made lemonade all of those lemons.
I want to get Ryan a feature, though.
Like, I was trying to figure out, like, how much does it cost to have, like,
Goo Goo Goo Goo Dolls feature on a song?
You love the Google Dolls.
I do.
I'm trying to go to Google Dolls.
Name one Goo Goo Doll song.
Iris?
The greatest song of all time?
I was thinking more like Drake or Kanye.
I was, and I was thinking like...
Our whole yearly budget right there.
I was thinking like back to our roots like bad baby or something.
Well, but she's not really your genre.
I think bad baby publicly said he charges like a millie for a feature.
Oh, bad baby.
Oh, bad baby.
Like, she hates bad baby.
Yeah, why do you hate bad baby, Ken?
I came around.
I think she's kind of a bad bitch now.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
I kind of came around.
I came full circle to that.
Okay.
But why didn't you?
I just thought her voice was extremely.
extremely annoying. Now I think she's funny. There we go.
All right. Well, and he probably, you know what it was? She's a mommy. That's when Ken started liking her.
I don't know she was a mommy now. Oh, yeah, right. Makes sense. Who else would be a good feature?
Like someone that is, I guess, Chad Kroger. Big Reno. Probably like Gavin Adcock.
Limp biscuit. Limp biscuit. That's probably more Ryan's genre. Yeah. Limp biscuit would be really good.
Limp biscuit. Oh, you mean Fred? Yeah, Fred Durs. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not sure like if you could.
have a feature with our boy Rick Duff.
I'm not sure if that's not enough.
I could go through a country face.
Yeah.
We tried that, Ryan.
It wasn't your sound.
As any good artist does, they dabble in country.
To the country, yeah.
That is actually, like, it's a real thing.
No, but this is, these are real thoughts going through my brain of, like, who's a feature
that is not popping enough that we could afford to get the feature on a quad song.
I don't know.
Leave a comment down below.
someone comes to mind.
But I'm talking like,
F list.
Like F list artist.
Who was A list in like the 2000s that was,
oh,
who was the guy that we went to the,
who did we go to the,
the Civic Center with?
Sean, Kingston.
Kingston, yeah.
He would,
but he's in jail.
He started up for some cash for a while.
He might actually be able to do it for a decent rate at that right.
He might be able to do a feature.
From prison.
From prison.
There you go.
That'd be pretty lit.
Feddy Wop just got out of jail.
Yeah.
Still not.
I can work on that.
Sugar Ray.
Sugar Ray went to jail?
Sugar Gay.
No, I don't...
That's such a good video.
I was just waiting for someone to say that.
That would suck so much.
It's forever known as...
Yeah, you're just forever known as Sugar Gay.
Well, it's because he freaked out after it.
Like, if someone's making fun of you and then you just blow up,
you're going to get made fun of more.
Yeah, like, I can almost guarantee that Evan is going to keep bringing up.
can we change a topic here Ben I need to I need to are you are you lashing out because you haven't had
your little nicotine things you've been trying to get everyone to take all day point I better
I better refill get Ken one he looks like he needs one right now you need one
all right what do you got here Ben yeah so all the C boys have been addicted to nicotine no no
I'm off 15 years and then all the
nicotine now.
And now Ben thinks he's going to be cool and start.
Yeah, Ken, what the heck?
Come on.
There's no better time to start than the new year.
I'm finally clean.
And here you are just trying to push the nicotine now.
Well, at least it's a cooler form of consuming it.
I'll give him that.
Like, we got to get Ev off these fucking vapes now.
Yeah, the robot dick is a little everyone.
You know, Ev, the hardest part was the first three days.
And then it was all fine and dandy after that.
I think you can, I think you can do it in 2026.
That's my goal is to get Ev off the vapes this year.
Wow.
That's a great.
goal can.
That isn't worth it.
You should focus on something more.
You spent this whole podcast just puffing on that thing.
Think about all the,
all the air you could have done.
Just the clean,
clean air you could have breathed in.
But here you are just sucking on this little thing.
See, Ken,
this is how we acted towards you for the last 10 years.
Yeah.
And look at him now.
His whole life's changed.
All it took was a little health insurance scare
where it's, oh, you're going to pay an astronomical amount of
money and here we are. The fact that it wasn't a billboard with your phone number on it is pretty
crazy. It was $200 a year in the health insurance scare. It was like $1,200. Well, you got to save money.
There's a lot. Either way, I don't know if I want to talk about us. Trying to get us hooked on
nicotine. I don't know. You're doing it for the health benefits, you say. Cognitive.
What health benefits are there for nicotine? Alzheimer's. Whoa. Brain. Alzheimer's, cognitive. I don't
think you have to anything to worry about that for at least 40 years. Depression? I've been depressed.
We weren't working. I was down. I was actually.
Okay. Well, you have been over-consuming, I would say. Like, you have gone more than, like,
30 minutes without taking a new one of these. Talk about a roll reverse. Like, if it wasn't four
months ago, Ben was sitting in Ken's chair and Ken was sitting in Ben's chair. I just can't
wait to fast forward six years from now when Ben's trying to get off it. He's all angry.
We're putting Ben, we're putting Ben's phone number on a billboard. If it gets to that point
and you have to do that, then, yeah. I don't know what, you just started this over Christmas break.
How did you go from nothing to just like flip the switch?
I was gifted it by my brother.
You know, I was a young, impressionable kid and now I'm addicted.
You just got to use it in moderation and it's fine.
You just got to pump the brakes a little bit.
Look at how well it worked for Ken.
You know, I appreciate you keeping me in check, Ken.
I'm done.
I know you're not.
One day later.
You've gone through an entire tin in one day.
Well, we didn't do shit today.
And he loves Sharon.
He's pretty amped up on it.
He's all.
Plus, I gave half of them out to get everyone else on him.
Do you need one?
No.
I think you should try and get Evan on these things, though, to get them off the vapes.
Yeah, Ev.
It's definitely a way cooler form of consumption, Ev.
You do got to.
What are you?
And it's not hard on your lungs.
Like, you could do those all day and you're not going to breathe heavy.
They make me sweat.
You're already sweating.
You're sweating.
You're sweating, right?
I'm like, so does playing Fortnite.
I think you would feel it'd be a rough three days,
and then I think you would start to feel way better afterwards.
That was my experience.
I don't want you feeling me any day.
I think you can do this, Ev.
You just got to put your fucking mind to it,
and you'll feel a hell of a lot better.
Are you trying to convince me of something?
You're just rattling.
I'm trying to convince you to stop vaping.
Because I was in that same boat,
and then I just did it,
and you'll be happy.
you did it. You're going to look back in and be like, why the fuck did I do that for so long?
A voice for the people right there. It's just pointless. It's just pointless at the end of the day.
Maybe next year. Maybe next year. That actually scares me. He says maybe next year at the very
beginning of the year. We're at the beginning of the year. You can do it now. This can be your
New Year's resolution. I'm going to quit. Baby. I just don't really want to. Hey, Ken, Ken,
I hate to play devil's advocate on this. I hate to play devil's advocate, but remember how
mad you got when you thought that we were bringing you to rehab.
Do you remember how mad you were?
I know.
Do you see it?
He thought he's going to have to stop.
I see everything from this side of it now.
How crazy was that?
There's no cloud.
We get,
we get Ken on a billboard with his phone number up.
He doesn't notice the billboard because he's so mad because the little strip mall that we parked
that to walk around the corner to go and look at this billboard at a rehab facility in this
thought we were taking him to rehab. I was like, are you guys seriously going to rehab for nicotine?
This is the most part of the case. We did consider that though. That was harder to
even more ridiculous. But the phone, the phone call was very annoying for a brief stint in time.
Yeah, the rehab. Man, that was that was almost funnier than the billboard itself. Well,
Yeah, maybe 2027, though, Ev.
Perhaps.
You know, eventually you do have to stop it, though.
I mean, do I actually have to?
I mean, maybe the government's just going to outlaw them one day.
Yeah, something's going to come up.
That'll make them stop.
Because I never break a single rule.
Oh, they're illegal now?
Oh, good stuff, fellas.
Just go smoke a cigarette.
That's way better.
Just lost the plot.
We're good to go.
Yeah, we can cut a lot of that.
we're good to go well good stuff thank you to you motors for letting us have a podcast here if you're

Congrats on the new four wither, Mike. Thanks, brother. I'm pretty excited. She's meant
taking this thing home. So a lot of things for sale, but not this. You're buying that?
Yeah. Okay, perfect. All right, peace.
