Okay, well, it looks like Ryan, or sorry, it looks like myself and CJ are channeling our inner Ryan today. Yeah, you guys got funny shirts on. I don't. Yeah. What's so funny about my shirt? Well, it says frick vape. So I'm proud of you for taking a stand. I just have a feeling people might come up to you and be like, ha ha, that's funny. And then you're just going to stone cold them.

I like that. No, it's weird. No, I mean, I'm not taking a stand against vapes. I want kids to put down the vapes and get back on cigarettes. Crick vape Yep But where did you actually Get the Steve War shirt?

Like Instagram ad got me But I don't know if many of you know But some We have an inside joke of Steve And then I saw it Steve Wars where everyone in the galaxy He's name Steve Yeah

Mike's license played Steve We call him Steve Yeah Mike calls everyone else Steve All right I'm feeling left out Such an inside joke Mike We haven't called you Steve

And actually probably A while I think one nine months Once you put your license played at Steve, I was like, I don't really want to call him that anymore. Well, that was my question. Do you regret getting your license plate, Steve being that it was kind of like a one month inside joke and then we kind of just left it there?

No, because for me, Steve is still like a lifestyle. Okay, that's good. That's good. You kind of have committed to it. Mike's got all the funny license plates. Yeah. He's got Steve, Good Kid. And the funniest one of all, Sandman.

I think Good Kid's my favorite because it's on the Subi, which is like a total degenerate looking car so like i'd imagine you get pulled over for something petty like window tint or no front license plate and they have to write good kid on the ticket that's hilarious that's hilarious to me think of that i pulled him all he's a good kid but i had to get him for window tint you know all right what's ryan say oh shit i took both pills and now i'm stuck in light the life wide open podcast custom custom that's the one that was fifty three dollars no those are still coming. Oh, I love it. What's what I mean? Right. Now you're going custom with it?

It's, it's from the Matrix since you're too many. Okay. Yeah. You take a red pill or a blue pill and then you do a thing. But Ryan took both. I took both and now I'm stuck inside of this podcast. You can't see the bottom part of it. Oh shit. I know. That's why I haven't, I haven't worn it that much, but. I love it. They like the spacing on the text is just a little extra there. Pretty janky. Oh, shit. You guys just keep on. Oh, come on. There ain't no way. Does Ben really have a shirt? All right, well, we're all wearing silly shirts.

Oh, sorry. A couple silly shirts and one very, very important public announcement over here. Yeah, more of a political agenda. I don't know if it'd be political. That'd be so funny. You wear that and we're like, geez, we try not to get political on this podcast here, but. All right. It's the best I could do.

There we go. Honestly, yeah, I have to laugh because it's like, oh, you just grab some of our merch. Dude, I thought I had a better, I thought I had one in my office. No, I think it's fitting. Grand Paran, stone-called Grand Paran. And also, we might have accidentally ordered like a thousand extra of these shirts, so we got to sell these. Yeah, there wasn't a little miscommunication, so hop on the website and get some Grand Paran merch. We're sitting out a shitload of Gramp-A-Rong.

We haven't sold many to begin with. I was talking to him, you know, he's wondering where we're going to go. He's thinking Vegas and a private jet. We're all these fun things. I'm like, dude. We could go to Ohio. We might go get some pizza at store, but that's about it. That's about how much money we've made off these shirts.

If this plug does well, we might make it up to Monoman. Yeah, I might be able to go to like a reservation casino. Can you imagine that? Best we can do is a nine hole in Kansas. Yeah. Sorry, man. In the last bid, when we went and took him to Top Golf, when we showed up at his house and walked in and go,

grip, but you want to go golfing, I'm sure he was like, here it is. We're going straight to the private jet and we're going to Vegas or we're going to Mekanos or whatever, like, pack your bag, and we just go, Top Golf. He's down the road I love him, was like, oh, oh. Was it just me or was he kind of in a weird mood that day? Like when we first showed up to pick him up, he was kind of like,

maybe he was skeptical. He's like, what are they doing to me now, you know? I'm sure he was. He's got to be wondering. He's like, and he's starting to catch on to the game. He's like, okay. Plus he had like 13 cookies. I might not have been.

That's true, yeah. He did he put down like 13 cookies. I don't make cookies because we told her we were coming. I could see him out. What? Nothing wrong with the baker's does. Well, Grandma made us cookies, and I'm sure she was like, these are for the boys, you can't eat them.

And then as soon as we were in the door, he was like, free game, right? He ate, like, legit 13 of them while we're standing there. I love your grandpa so much, dude. God, he's funny. He's a G. A legend already and also a legend in the making. Irreplaceable, one of a kind. He is.

Well, boys, I bought a house. Congratulations. I figured it was time to grow up. I'm proud of you. Thank you. I mean, it's still a work in progress. I haven't moved in yet, end of the month. But, yeah, I mean, it is like you guys are all, well, you guys are homeowners.

So you know, I guess, like, the process of it. And it's pretty stressful. I'm going to be honest. Yeah, it is kind of a lot. One of the reasons I guess I've, like, pushed it off for so long is because I don't want to, I guess, focus or have to worry about, like, anything else other than just, like, making good videos. and like just showing up to work that's why i haven't bought a house yet right there you go so yeah i mean when we were looking at them we went and looked at a couple last week and cj came with and

there was like this one that was going to be the first one total gut and remodel i wasn't sure if you're going to do it so i was trying to like tiptoe around it i was like you know like even though you're not going to be the one swinging the hammer still going to take up a lot of mental space trying to just find people to like work on it all that you know like i was like putting little things in there because it was i mean that place was a you'd bulldoze it down my plan was i was going to just ghost ride the limo into it just to even up on the first day because i figured you'd have to tear it down anyway you know but anyways i plan on moving in living in it for five years and then doing some renovations he's like no race ride to day one limo through it now you don't have a choice i've been trying

to figure out something to do with that thing i was like this will be a great wrecking ball That's the prank I just drive a fucking limo through his house Yeah, I'm not sure if that'd be quite getting even But it'd be tough to level up On the DL one It'd be tough to beat it

On that first one I feel like I'd be doing you a favor Yeah, as long as I get insurance on it before Sure You'd have to have taken it down anyways So then you looked at another place And it was better Well dude, going from the first place

To the second place It was like going from like a homeless camp To like the Taj Mahal Like a five dollar But it was cheaper too So the first one was, if you can, like, live on the water around here, on the lake, it's obviously cost a lot more. But then there's a lot of, like, older houses that either need to be torn down or completely remodeled because they were built back in, you know, the 60s or the 50s or whatever. And that was what that first one was.

So then we went to this next place for you that was still on the water, I guess, but it was like a different spot. Cheaper, way cheaper, nicer. or still kind of like what I wanted in like the area that I wanted. And yeah, they accepted my offer. Nice, dude. I love the way that we move. Like you, we walked in there, looked around. I was like, I'd say do it.

And you're just like, yeah, I'll do it. Like, we weren't even planning on really buying a house that day. And you ended up buying house. Now that you guys have started buying houses and, you know, it always comes up when someone in the group makes a big purchase, you know, C.J. gets a boat. you get a Lambo, now you got a house too. And everyone goes, you know, so when are you going to get your house? Or you're a really nice car.

Like, oh, no, I'm far too financially irresponsible to get that done. And it's only myself to blame for it, too. I go, damn, I don't got money for that. Where'd I go? And then I look at all my restaurant bills probably from eating out. But I love that you're just honest with them. It kind of tells them that they're just like, oh, yeah, where the fuck? You spend all your money trying to fix up your Hummer.

Yeah. Your Volkswagen. Which I sold, by the way. Not unbelievable, man. I felt so bad watching them drive away. I did squeaky and everything too. I tried to avoid them. I didn't want to be a part of this wholesale.

I was like, I wasn't even there. I felt bad for the people. I felt like I was an accomplice. I don't even know the guy. Send them off with that. When Ryan goes to start it to sell it to him, it squeaked a little bit before. And then it just like was yelling at you.

It was 15 minutes before they got here. Ryan started it up and it was just, The loudest thing, and he runs out with a thing of deodor, and he starts putting it on the belt. Is that what you did? It quiets it down. Yeah, it works. I was so surprised, yeah.

Yeah. But that belt's really hot, so I think it's out of alignment. It needs to be actually fixed. But yeah, dude, they came back. They were gone for a long time. I thought it broke down. I thought they stole it. I was like, this guy got his car stolen.

That's what I was saying. I was like, and then someone was going to come out the bushes, grab their car that they left here and get away, and then it's just gone. God, no That would have been hilarious Why didn't we think of it? You imagine Oh my God

I should have hopped in their vehicle And moved it They're like yo Did they come back Dude that would have been so good But yeah They were gone for too long And I was like

Fuck it broke down And then they came back And it was squeaking so loud I was like There ain't no way They're gonna buy this thing And they go Everything's great

We love it We'll take it And had to be the Were they deaf? I maybe They had to me the full thing Of money Didn't even try to dick me down

Why don't you sell that thing? for 3500 bones wow about it two years ago for 3500 bones no offense i thought that thing was going to sell for like a thousand dude actually i sold the cheap it's a collectible all right is the money fake did you look at it yet you know no can i didn't i didn't check to make sure the money's real i should probably get that in the bank ryan's feeling like he got them and they're driving away fucking idiot didn't even look at the cash when they were signing like the you guys were doing the bill of sale in the kitchen i was trying to get to the sauna and i was already walking around in my uh my shorts and i was obviously going to strip down my underwear to go into the

sauna but they were kind of in the way and ben was like if you get naked and walk through there i'll give you a hundred bucks right now and i was on the edge i almost walked through i could have probably ruined the sales like this guy this has got one chance of this i'm gonna ruin it i don't know i don't know cj a couple buying that volks wagon the little convertible they might have hopped in the sauna with you maybe well congrats on that on that little guy congrats on the house Thanks. I heard your... I'm not giving you guys the...

Stay out of my fucking house. I know where your house or where your brain is at. You're already trying to think of what can I do on the day he moves in. Have you been there recently? When you've mixed up brain and house, you go to CJ. I know where your house is. I'm like, no shit, you know where our house is. I hope you do.

Otherwise, you're getting stupid by the minute. No, I'm excited to move in, but I dread what is coming. But best luck to you guys. It sucks because you know something's coming. Yeah, we have lots of ideas. I was low-key hoping you'd get the first one just because I really thought it was a tear-down. And I was like, send the limo into it. It'd be great.

Why you didn't push for it more? I was still trying to be a good friend and cousin. I was not trying to get you a piece of shit. I was like, Jesus, dude, don't buy this. After the Homer experience, we can't do that anymore. I kept my mouth shut. Yeah. Now I felt bad the whole time.

I was like, God damn. Wait. Did you guys not like the Hummer when I bought it? Well, I was just a little bit skeptical, but you were so pumped on. I said, well, he likes it. Thanks, dude. Thanks for not crushing my dream. Worked out in the long run, didn't it?

Yep. Again, you want to pull up this video I have. You guys remember, I don't know, it's probably this fall. There was that guy in NASCAR. His name's Ross Chastain. He was the guy who drove really fast along the wall and then beat everybody and made the playoffs in NASCAR and stuff like. that anyway was got really popular for doing that and then now I've been seeing a bunch

of stuff about how he's kind of a hot head and he goes off and does this last week he's the guy with the beard close oh that's right why dude you don't get bare-knuckle fighting in sports like you used to no that's a good punch right he got He was not expecting that. Yeah. That's what he gets for grabbing him, dude. Yeah. Yeah, dude.

I got to start watching NASCAR more. I wonder if Haley ever gets in fights like this. She should. Gets out there, starts beating everybody up. But this is what I'm saying. I don't think anybody should get in fights like this. Stop the violence. Stop the violence.

I'm at a NASCAR. No, please. No punching. I've been watching NASCAR for a long time. I know maybe NASCAR has been pretty. It's boring for the last 20 years. Coming back. But it used to be sick.

You used to have Dale Earnhardt out there, purposely crashing people. Like, being legit, it was a cool sport. And I think this guy has the potential to bring NASCAR back and make it cool again. I agree. He's going out there fighting people on Pitway. That's awesome. Yeah, I don't want to go and see a bunch of, like, prissy, you know, million-dollar drivers and all that, acting good for sponsors. I want to see a dude walking up punching a guy.

Dude, I think most NASCAR drivers get pretty hot. Have you guys ever seen Kyle, Kyle Busch, like when he takes second place in a NASCAR race? So, like, I'm pretty sure Kyle Busch is just like a meme in NASCAR. I've honestly never watched this single NASCAR race in my life. So don't quote me on this. But from what I have seen is most people, I think, don't like them. Being that I actually own a shirt, oh, that's the shirt I should have pulled out. I have a shirt that says, fuck Kyle Bush.

And we saw him at the Freedom Factory. No, that was his brother. Oh, really? His brother's cool. I don't know. We were kind of talking shit. Weren't we? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we were.

About his brother, too? No, he was right there. Yeah. He was rolling around with those monster energy girls. I don't want to out the guy, but yeah. Well, then again, I think that's like what... That's just they were probably paid to be with him. Yeah, that's like what monster athletes.

Some pretty hot, like, monster energy girls just chilling with them, like two of them. I wonder if Celsius can hook us up with some of those. I'm not rolling around with other girls. Me either, but I do have a bobby. I do have a buddy, Ken, who was single, and would love two pieces of arm candy walking around with them. I would love that too. I would think that is the best thing ever. Dude, you know, Ken, 15 minutes of them being here, you'd have them folding shirts in the back. Why not? Ken puts them to work. They were like, we were thinking we were going to go out on the boat. Nope, nope, we got t-shirts to fold.

Isn't that what you guys do? Just stand there in bikinis and work? Dude, I was in the back, folding shirts with Ken and his minions. And, um, really, really. Really? Really? Yeah, for a little bit. For how long? Just a little bit. A couple shirts.

I would digress, but... Oh, you think less than a couple shirts? You think less than a couple shirts? Yeah, he did half a shirt. No, no, no. He signed some sheets of paper and walked away. Well, anyway, it doesn't matter what I did back there. But what I did catch is that Ken has all of his minions, the workers, the folders, the

in the back, the shippers, calling him daddy. Really? Are you fucking serious? Dead ass I thought you were joking But the look on his face right now They call you daddy This is so ridiculous

But no No they do I heard it That'd be so awkward Cripes Kim It was awkward All right I'm on a young boys

Can I get some more daddy Ooh daddy How's my fold look Oh they say it like that all sexual I thought they just called them daddy I think it depends What kind of mood they're in there What kind of mood gets in it?

I'm not sure if this is okay for you know sexual conduct in the workplace ken seems kind of crossing the line ken is that why you want a 1099 item you don't want them as employees yeah if they're if they're legally employed by us then they can't go with daddy anymore no let's keep them as a contractor oh the fakesest news that i've heard all month oh yeah so ben i was doing some thinking this week you don't like modified cars um i wouldn't say that being that every single car i've ever owned i've modified you modified your your first raptor immediately sold it well because i i sold it and then bought a corvette that i modified and then immediately sold no i i had it for uh like six months yep and

you after three months you modified it and then three months later gone and you also took the exhaust off immediately. It's so loud? So then you bought that Subaru. You tried to modify it. What do you mean? You bought exhaust for it, took it off stock. And then you...

I did actually. You hate exhaust, bro. And then you just took the exhaust off your truck. It was so loud. It was disgusting. Your Lamborghini doesn't even have an exhaust. Start to think you're kind of a pussy. All right.

Hold up now. You don't like loud exhaust. Hold up. Well, this did go from you not liking to modify, which I 100% disagree with that statement. Ken, he doesn't like exhaust, though. We know that for a fact.

You're done getting free exhaust from these companies. Whenever someone gives you a free exhaust, I'm telling him, I'm going to call in person and say, hey, don't send it to this dude. He'll fucking put it on. It's going to sound amazing.

I'm done getting straight pipe exhaust. I'm done getting straight pipe exhaust because every single time I do it, it is so loud. No shit. It's a straight pipe. Yeah, that's what I figured out. It took three times to figure that out.

I'm surprised you don't start putting it. on bigger mufflers just because you want to even quieter. I might. Maybe you need to get a Prius or like Maybe you should just get a Tesla. Yeah. You could join the electric army with Ken. Honestly, the jelly bean gang. If anyone else sat down

on here and gave me shit about modifying, I would take it, Ken. But I just don't know how much ground you have to stand on here. At least Ken doesn't go back on his modifications. Because he doesn't do any. I've done very light and tasteful.

mods that I've kept for more than 90 days. Wheels, suspension. One time you put a new tire on, you got a flat. Yeah, no, I do, I can agree with the exhaust side of things. You're done getting exhaust, man. I actually might have to be. Cut off. I think it's a shame that your Lamborghini doesn't have one. It sounds amazing without it. Well, it could sound even better. But I suppose you'd take it off anyway, so

why would we even bother? He's going to sell the car in 90 days if he does that. Ken, you're ass better. You're As benefits from me buying and selling and modifying these cars. I'm just saying that you you sell the car within 90 days. You know how much money? I'm making you by spending mine. Yeah. I'm grateful for it.

Yeah, you're so fucking grateful for it, guys. You're sitting down here trying to give me shit about it. And now you're telling me you're grateful for it. I'm just calling you out on it. I thought, because I was looking at Brian watching him do that. And I was like, God, he's done this to every vehicle. The last three The last three I have

I'm just curious of you Are even aware of it After this one I was I was You're like wow I had some self-reflection To do this every time

Yeah Yeah the last one The last one actually I didn't have to look in the mirror And say I think I'm done Yeah honestly when he was putting it back on Like I wasn't even surprised

It was just normal I was like yeah yeah Makes sense stock exhaust back on It has been a week Yeah I mean You guys can testify. You rode with me.

It sucked. Yes. Three liter raptor engines with exhaust. Sound like gas. Sound pretty bad with exhaust. Well, the issue that we later found out is after we put the exhaust on and then I jumped it, 70 feet. It rattled pretty bad. No, the exhaust came off in the back.

So it was straight pipe right underneath my cab. Like, it wasn't even going to the tips. Yeah, it was like straight pipe underneath. I guess didn't figure that out until it was. was like coming off one of those cripe situations yeah anyway so you guys will see it hopefully on thursday but we're in the midst of 450 swapping a shifter card something we've been wanting to do for a very long time and uh now a lot of these things are possible because we have a basically like a professional fabricator in the shop which i mean i think we we could have like swap the

motor and stuff but it's the fabrication part where it becomes very difficult and also it's nice because with him here we can do stuff so much faster he knows what he's doing and i don't know i just i'm really we're going to be able to do a lot of cool stuff moving forward but i'm excited to see how this 450 cart will rip it's going to be a drifting machine yeah it's not going to like stall out when we get to the low r p ms it's just going to keep i mean they were already rippers but like but like you're going to have that just snout or snort or whatever you want to call it just fucking you're going to have a snorty snout yeah snorty snout yeah it's just you're just going to be bromping along and you're going to have this now be bromp and womp and snort and snob and like shifting and

yeah it's going to be sick it's going to be very sick so yeah that is cool like having brian um things are moving pretty fast because he's able to um a lot of times we we can figure it out and say oh we need this fabricated but brian just looks at it and goes like yep this is what we do and then does it and it's a beautiful thing like they just look at it and do it did you just take a Snapchat of me? No, not you. I took one of him, not you. We got Snapchat guy over here now.

I'm a snapper. Snapping away. Yeah. If you guys haven't followed me on Snapchat, CJ Lotzer, I just am taking shit all day long. People loving it. Your snap yesterday was actually really entertaining.

Because people keep telling me, that's why I'm staying to it. That's the way you made it sound. What part did you, what part? You know what I just, I just have this knack for building stories out. and putting them in video form to share with the world.

Well, I didn't mean to give you that much of a compliment on it. I just said it was entertaining. That's what you meant, though. Was it on this very podcast that you said Snapchat was pointless? Yeah. And now they monetized it, so now it's not pointless. DJ's all about the scrella.

Well, and it's more fun, dude. It's just fun building it out. The way that they structured it now is like you can build it like an Instagram. Like, whereas before it was like you just had your, whoever you kind of ran into and personally met in the world. and exchanged with. Yeah, now it grows.

Now it's like, it's like posting as if you're posting on Instagram or whatever. And I don't know, I think it's fun. You can hit that Discover page. There's a reason why

Danny Duncan and David Doberk are posting like a thousand snaps a day. Like that Katie Sigmund chick, she's making like 500K a month off of Snapchat. That's insane. I mean, I'm not even doing close to that. But it's just,

it's just fun. And I think people find it really entertaining because you get to see in real time things that are going on in our day that you normally wouldn't see and it's just like it's easy to post there it's just easy and people don't really care like it could be a stupid little thing and you just like don't think about just I think the really the thing I really like about it is that it makes it easy to respond to our viewers without like having to like accept the message and now you have this exactly you just go to your story replies and you're like boom thanks boom nice what up and then like that's kind of it and people love it

Yeah, it's really easy to interact with just whoever's watching your stuff, which I like as well. I didn't know you can make that much of having a nice behind. You need to start monetizing yours. Oh, bro, you can make a lot more than that. Did you point at him and say monetizing his behind? Yeah, Mike's got. Or Cren.

Cren? I'm sorry. You know, I might have to call you that for like a week or at least can. Hold up. I'm sorry, but you think these two have nice behinds? No. Cren. The last thing I would describe.

I mean, literally, the last thing I was like, and he has a nice behind. That's what I meant. He sounds like Evan, dude. The dude is so obsessed with the hinders, but I'm not sure what his hinder type is. He could be like a curation. It's flat, nice, and fat.

He likes all walks of life. Dude, I think you can make a lot more than 500 racks having a nice behind. That's what she's making on Snap, dude. Snap chat. Just a personal little stupid things. I would go as far to say as though. there's a lot of people in this world that exist with nice behinds that absolutely would struggle to make 500,000 dollars. It's a grind, dude. You got to respect these Instagram models or

only fans or Snapchat influence, whatever you want to call them. Yeah, they're hot and that's why people are watching, but they still hustle it and they work it. And that right there takes, you know, just takes some thought and hard work to make happen. Yeah, I think it's one of those situations i respect the hustle but i don't respect the uh the hinder i respect the hustle but i don't respect the content yep i mean it's not it's not even like the chicks but it's like the dudes i mean uh david dover taking snaps of food in every sucks in every single angle of it and then every single chick like and that's just like i don't like david this is getting like nitty gritty too but you were like like Danny Duncan and David Doberk dude David Doberk like

actually posts like a million and I would agree most of them are pointless there's a reason why seems like Danny only posts like 20 realistically I think Danny posts a lot more but uh it's like every time I go through a story I'm like yeah but maybe 20 times you tap it and that's the thing is they put an ad every like four or five so it's like even if it's stupid you're kind of hustling it in a way like people just like clearing out their thing and then they they skip through it and then they're getting paid. Interesting. I've made around $150 off of my hard work.

Damn, dude. I definitely thought the number was going to be way higher. What are you going to do with that bag? Let me actually check that one second. You post like so much to only be at $150. Well, keep it right. It's actually $15. $15.

I missed a decibel. You are. I thought 15 bucks. You know, that's almost my lunch. I thought CJ was smart. I thought he chased that dollar, but I guess not. No, I'm just chasing that dollar. I guess it's just funnier.

The fact that he forgot to mention is Katie Sigmund is also pulling 70 million views on her Snapchat story. Wow. Yeah, it's pretty fucked. That's a 70 million? Huge number. It's just amazing, like, how much all this social media stuff has just came around. And, like, I mean, just the career you can make out of fucking, you can be a Snapchater now. It just doesn't make sense to, I mean, it makes sense, but it's just cool to see. Because, I mean, as someone who's been in the game a long time, like you guys,

it wasn't always like this. Yeah. So, I mean, the opportunities are just becoming even more abundant. Yeah, I mean, it's not necessarily just YouTube. It really does all intermingle, but... Man, I used to be a Snapchatter back in the day, and my buddy, CJ, used to tell me how pointless it was, but... That was about two months ago.

I used to... No, no. No, six months ago. A couple years ago. Early, early in Snapchat. Well, I thought... Yeah, and I used to pull a ton of views. Like hundreds of thousands, right?

Yeah, yeah. You quit. And that's why I got the most subscribers out of everyone, even though everyone's out. Still? Yeah, dude. CJ hates that. I'm creeping up on you.

That's why he's posted. He's tried to pass me subscribers when I haven't posted on Snapchat in two years. Honestly, Snapchat was fucking pointless before. Like, it only made sense if you were going to post something, post on your Instagram story because then you can build your Instagram. Do you guys think that all these kids that want to be Snapchat or? and YouTubers at school.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Snapchat or I heard it was easier than being a YouTuber. Don't have to do the post-production. Well, one day, like, nobody's going to want to be, like, nurses and doctors. No.

I don't think that's a possibility. There's always going to be people want to do that stuff. I do wonder when the threshold, like, where that threshold is, though. Like, how much of the, I guess, young population does it get until it needs, like, re-offset back to normal jobs because there's got to be more than ever well you can't just decide

you can't do it you have to be good at it that's the that's the that's the you know true that's true but there's more people trying than ever yeah but they still got to have a normal job while they're trying and something i mean fucking 99% of them don't make it so or i don't know exactly what percentage but you know and then they stay with their thing that's true you got to do what you're good at you know we were just talking about that last night um with actually ryan's dad we were out to eat and he came and joined us and uh he we were talking about you know how much stuff we need to do around our house that we own together me ken and mike um and why i don't do it myself is because it would just take longer turn out shittier and uh it takes away from me

doing the one thing that i'm actually good at and actually makes money and uh and that's make videos and do stuff like this and it's the same for him like it doesn't make sense for him to make youtube videos that's true yeah there's it's been like an interesting kind of mental battle for me because i i really enjoy being able to like outsource stuff like snow removal and uh mowing the lawn and stuff like that but it also like definitely takes away i don't know something when you don't like mow your own lawn i don't want to mow my own lawn every time but when i do mow the lawn i'm like it just brings you back to like it's so easy yeah it's nice to do it when you're when you have the time and you want to. It's kind of almost like washing your car. Like you got the time

to wash your car in the driveway. It's nice. But some days you're just way too busy and you got to drive through the car. And then it doesn't get done if you don't. And then it's like you finally get the chance. It's a nice day and you have a little bit of time off. You're like, I want to go do something fun. You're like, I got to go mow the lawn. And then you got to, turns out the lawnmower needs gas and you got to go get gas. And then it's like, you know, and it ends up being a two hour thing. And you're like, oh, shit, I didn't really want to do this right now. But I oftentimes think that too. I'm like, I, what the, fuck do we pay someone a hundred bucks to mow the lawn when we could i could do that goes both

ways so stupid but yeah it's like when do we get chance yeah well i tell you what boys can move into an hoa like me and name oh your lawn well mike you were saying that you were thinking about moving in with ben yeah so he can not stay at my house too yeah well i actually live at ben's but i don't stay that much yeah he he lives he was planning on moving in but not paying yeah so i i own with the guys but i actually live at ben's but i stay at the shop It's a nice of place, yeah. Move my stuff there. I'm excited for you, Ben.

That's cool. But it sounds like your parents are kind of bummed. Oh, yeah. My dad sent me a video crying the other day. Really? Yeah, I hate to out him like that. Crying? Yeah, I'm sorry, Dad.

Wow. It's just bummed. It's because Ben stayed around for so long, but now there's like a kind of a bond that's newer and continued to bond. Yeah, you guys are like buddies. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, but I told him, I was like, dude, I'm moving down the street. Let's relax here.

I was like, I was like, I see you once a week anyways. There is nothing like the bond of a father and his mid-20-year-old son living in his basement, you know? Yeah, most dads would be like, finally. Like, packing your bags for you. I guess that's kind of what I mean. Like, had you moved out when you were 19, he would have been like, right on. He's moving out.

Still sad. But now there's like the bond where he's just like, wait, I don't, you can't move out. It is. Yeah, I mean, I guess I didn't really have like the college move out. or kind of that whole experience. So it is kind of like the first time. But yeah. What are you going to do, you know?

I think, well, he wants to move in. Yeah, he's like, I can be your lawn boy. I'm like, I'm an HOA. Somebody takes care of that. Are you going to be the HOA president? Dude, I talked to the HOA president yesterday. Say no shenanigans. Whoa, dude.

I was actually pretty concerned because she asked for my email. And, you know, it ends in C boys. Why don't you just give, I have a separate email that I give people. That way they don't, like, in case they don't know me. Or at least know what I look like Or have heard my name But then they say C boys They see it and they go oh fuck

I've heard about these guys So I do Gmail I'd imagine that word has already spread Yeah Are people worried? Yeah They were worried about us Yeah

When we were moving in Like they legit thought The neighborhood was going to shit People were like very concerned Oh dude that's so funny As so many people on our street We're like These guys are going to bring cops around

And we don't need that And we're like Yeah they were worried about that like no we're not that was one of the concerns they were also thinking we're going to be like ripping dirt bikes and blowing shit up and filming and all that and then like a year or two later get to talking with one of the neighbors like you know we were pretty worried about you guys moving in and so was a lot of the other people around but you guys you guys are pretty good as they said and we're like thanks like we basically just acted normal and then they were like

oh you know not not really like what we expected you guys guys to be like which i mean the first day started off pretty as what they probably were expecting when the farm animals came in and they had a horse trailer they were in the house and then i mean a tv got throwing out the window and yeah but anyways i mean the first day was maybe a little obnoxious and there's been a couple obnoxious nights but otherwise we've been great yeah you guys have been good i think i think about it though it's like we're never i'm never home you guys are never home like we're always that's what they said they're like we don't even know when the fuck you guys are ever here like when do you come home and when you leave do you ever keep

come here i was like yeah yeah we come here and just like you know late and then leave early yeah but i was thinking like your pad would be kind of the party pad like it'd be like project x you know mixed with a little bit of C-boy spice in it and uh and that's every weekend like Evan was going to invite his hometown buddies oh they'd probably stay out for like a week or two they were going to do a motor swap in the driveway that too yeah they've got a bunch of old Chevy's actually that need some fixing up so they were I told him he's got a great driveway no oil stains or nothing right now you can drop like drop the no oil stains they said we got to do something about that yeah you can just have them put the pallet of tea wherever you want on the driveway just throw the

empties in the grass man talk about if you if you actually wanted to do that just bringing down the value of all the homes in the neighborhood and then everyone just moves in talk about just like a neighborhood takeover. Mr. Beast just did that. We've kind of done that with this area. Yeah, we're trying to. But Mr. Beast bought an entire neighborhood out. What?

Yeah. For like his, filming production, yeah. No, for his friends and his, his, like, crew to live in. Really?

And he rents to him or? I just let him live there because he probably owns it, but it's like his workers, I'd imagine. Wow. Just the whole neighborhood. I guess.

It is pretty amazing. Like, there's large corporations that don't even do that. Like Walmart has done that. For like CEO type people or? So Hershey's chocolate.

Hershey started in. Hershey, Pennsylvania. Well, I don't know if it was, it wasn't called Hershey, Pennsylvania. I'd assume when they started. James? Look that up. Look that up. No, so then, so then Hershey built a town.

Oh, no shit. For his employees. And then I'd imagine that it became Hershey, Pennsylvania. So are people going to start living in Mr. B's, North Carolina? Well, they might. No, but Bentonville, Arkansas. My buddy Sam actually just moved there. I want to say like 3,000 population,

but it's like growing rapidly because Walmart is like dumping cash into the community. Really? Yeah, to try and like make it a better community, like spending like a couple million bucks a year on just like bike trails. But why? That's cool. Walmart headquarters near? Yeah, that's where the headquarters is and that's where.

Why did they put the, I want to say it was founded. I don't know about it. Oh, that makes sense. But it was, that's the headquarters and they're just like trying to fuse a bunch of money into the community. So corporate grows bigger and then people come and work for corporate and they have like a cool place to live. No way. Yeah.

Wow. I like that because sometimes it just simply doesn't happen with the government. Obviously sometimes there's just no money for it. Like bike trails and stuff. It's just, that's cool. We could do a small scale with that out in the back 40. We could put in trailer houses. Oh, little Seaboy's TVville.

We could start working on our bar and our church. And, yeah, we, we, that was an idea. When we bought the land, we said, well, this is where the church could go. And then this is where the bar, the strip club. Dude, our videos just like, Ken manages the strip club. He's in like a suit. Like in three years, our videos just are trailer park boys. Like you can't touch a difference.

Ken, what did we figure out in Hershey, Pennsylvania? It was founded in 1903 to house companies workers with modern amenities such as electricity and indoor plumbing. Wow. Okay, you were right. I didn't know that. I thought it was just there. So Sam bought his house in Bentonville, Arkansas,

but the guy that he bought the house from got a job at Hershey's, like recently, and Hershey's bought the house or paid the $50,000 that he was losing to sell the house just to move to Hershey. Wow. Yeah. So kind of like an overlap or something like that. I don't know if I should have outed that information.

But it kind of gets a little bit like black mirror. What's the don't worry, darling? Like, you know, kind of like dystopian type where all the community is the same and like everybody goes to the same job. It's in movies. Look it up. Yeah, very dystopic. But, you know, it's kind of weird.

Like if you think about everybody in the neighborhood, imagine the whole cul-de-sac all backs out and then drives to work at the big factory and then comes home to their factory sponsored houses they're watching tv they're watching tv factory sponsored tv like it does get a little weird that's it could well no it's interesting that i think about it did foil hat i've been a big tin oil that's actually a pretty good point because like we kind of eat sleep and breathe this business like i mean we really do um and in a sense like with me staying here a bunch and like evan living here that we really eat sleep and breathe it but then i look at certain like when oh there's employee housing and then they just go home to their employee housing and come back

and like Tesla and then like yeah it's a little bit dystopian that's what we kind of do it but imagine for here we put our trailer park out in the back 40 and then everybody goes home to their trailer park and then we supply the TV and all they can watch is like our approved TV sounds like Korea and then they go to our restaurant you know that we have over there so they got to spend their money with us you know yeah who would be the dictator or I mean uh leader Oh, be Ken, obviously. I feel like you'd be a good idea. I feel like you'd be a good community leader.

Yeah, you'd have everyone in the back. I don't know if I'd want to. You'd have everyone in the back calling him daddy, all these shirts. That'd be like a big picture of him. Daddy. Marching the streets. You got to make sure the picture doesn't have any dust on it.

Oh, my gosh. Punishable by, I don't know. Spanking. Cleaning the royal prince's toilet. His majesty. So what do you guys? So the 2024 Ford Raptor Ranger just came out. Very curious on your guys' opinions on it.

That's real? Yeah. Give me the initial gun reaction. It's been real, but now it's coming to the U.S. in 2024. They're just raptorizing everything. Can you pull it up? Yeah, they're just raptizing everything. It's, uh, it looks.

Does he have pink eye? No. What? I mean, his eyes turning pink. I don't think he has pink eye, though. Fucking hope not. Sorry to cut you off there. Yeah, that's all good.

We got an issue of a hand here. I was he? I haven't done anything I would, uh, right. Get a closer look here. Okay. Say away from me. Uh, it maybe just looks a little. I'm fine.

You're fined. Okay. It's fine. Sorry. Sorry. Uh, my initial impression on the Ford Ranger Raptor. I think it's cool. I love rangers.

I love raptors. But I personally feel like you'll just never be able to beat a 1999 forward ranger. It's just like they're trying to get back to, like, building a good ranger. See, this thing is just too round and too nice. You've got simplicity. I feel like having four doors is too many. You should only have two. Wait, that's a little mini in the back.

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Oh, that looks really good. It just looks like a mini raptor. Honestly, yeah, I thought you were going to initially be like, it's just never going to be the full-size Raptor, which is also true. But I love how you're comparing it to the 99. I think the 99's better, dude. I think I have to agree mostly with the one thing that you said was they're two round,

and I agree. They just are. Other than that, I think they look pretty cool. I think it could be a little hooner, though. I bet you would really be able to rip out. So that one upside was, is that it's a smaller, more, like, you know, you get that more fun. but it's the same motor that you guys have. Damn.

It's got the same motor as the big wrapper. The 3-liter V6. So, it's like, that's kind of cool. I can see you ripping around a mini truck. Well, then it was funny because I'm reading. It says that it's likely lighter, faster, like more capable of, like, quicker, and cheaper than the Ford Bronco Raptor. And then I looked up like the starting price of it and it's like 15,000 less than

the Bronco Raptor. Like, what the heck? When do you guys get your Broncos? Mine gets built next week. No way. That doesn't mean you're going to get it. He said I should have it sometime in June. Oh, nice.

That's really good. Yeah, I have no idea of mine. Holy shit, that's going to be so cool. What are you going to do with your current bronchage? I got a buyer lined up, I think. Really? Who? A guy from Fargo.

Nice. Wow. Ken. Are you going to lose money or make money on it? Break even. Oh, I was like, you should absolutely be making money. At that point, I put 20,000 miles on the car in a year and a half, and I'm breaking even. so wow yeah it's pretty

breaking even with all the mods you put on it no I'll lose the mods I'd be happy with that too Ken's breaking even but I definitely I'm hoping to make a little money on the bronchage after I fix the hood that is yeah you're gonna just like pDR that I saw that thing that you said to me

I was like that actually could work but also like I just don't see it being 100% but yeah I want to try it the satisfaction of that oh my god I don't even know yeah it was just it's a plunger with a thing that slides and then when you get to the top,

it just yanks it out. They make it look probably easier than it should be. But it actually, so back to the Raptor Ranger, I first thought it would be really lame. But if you actually used, like not big open trail bahaing, but if you were like going to take it down like trails

or go to Moab or something like that, I think it would actually be a pretty good truck because it's smaller. Yeah. You know, I think it would actually be. a better off-road rig because it's more, you know, shorter. I'd agree with that.

Yeah, I would definitely like to see one. And so I guess since Ryan, you have to get one, he just immediately was like, well, listen, I was just saying nice things about it. I don't actually want it. No, that thing had nothing to compare to a TRX, that's for sure. Or a 99 Ford Ranger? Or a 99 Ford Ranger. I agree.

It's like, what's the first thing you think of, like, what image pops into your head when you say 99 Ford Ranger? I see a 99 gold, that gold colored, just two-door Ford Ranger. What happens when you think of a 1999 Ford Ranger? Oh, sorry. Well, I think of a 1999 Ford Ranger. I should have it when you think of Ford Ranger. 1999 gold, two-door.

Yeah, no, I agree. Cloth interior, maybe even a manual if you're lucky. Ooh. Fishbowl. Old man. Do we ever give merch to Wade, our main UPS man? Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay.

It was just funny because I, like, gave him some merch the other day and, uh... My buddy wasn't wearing it on the job. No, he's like, he was just, like, stoked. He's like, oh, thank you. Yeah, you happen to have this in like a large and I'll go look. And I went ahead in as small as I was like, well, you got to give it to your wife. And he's like, oh, for my wife, too? Well, this is great.

And he's just, is this the first time we've ever given a merch? Like, like, of all, yeah, I was saying he's probably had, he's, he's handled more merch than any other, like, shipping person. It was probably besides Ken, honestly. And I'm like, is this our first time given to him? But never mind. That's pretty cool. Yeah, he was stoked, which I just love. Yeah, I was like, just came a couple sweatshirts and he was just stoked.

He makes the world go around as far as getting the merch out the door. He's here every day. He lets his fill his truck up to the brim. Yeah, twice usually. I was thinking about this as it's gotten warmer out. And I was sweating. And now I'm all self-conscious that I'm always stinky after last week. And Mike called me out.

Where do you think the most embarrassing place to sweat is? I was kind of like putting it a list of like least embarrassing to most embarrassing. Hold on your body. Location on your body. That's a good question. So like I would say underarm sweat, not that embarrassing. Everybody does it. Oh, I'd say your ass for sure.

Yeah. Ass crap. No, your whole ass like walking around with a sweaty ass. I hate having like when you got sweaty or wet underwear. Yeah, I guess I'd say if you're rocking. in a line of sweat where your crack is. That's a tough level. That was pretty tough.

Yeah, I'd say that for sure. I was thinking the underboob. I was walking around. I was cleaning up the trampoline and I had the underboop sweat right here. And I went, damn. Like that's when you see someone's fine there, you go, ooh. I'm surprised you can even get that. I think it's just like a sweat gland in here.

It's not like necessarily the boob. It's just the sweating area. I don't know if I ever had that. I would say that in the next spot. You never sweat on like your chest or your stomach? So I've never had it under my boom. I got some of the spot there. Man, maybe I mean, I'm sure I have.

Yeah, usually like the sternum. Yeah, you get in here and then it just works its way over here. Ryan's got a very interesting chest, though. You have like the dent. I got the divot, yeah, which I think doesn't help. Do you get hit with a baseball on your younger or what? No, it's like a condition. And a lot of people get it fixed, but mine isn't that bad.

It's a condition? Yeah, it's like an inward sternumness, a phobia. Mm-hmm. Really? Yeah. Look it up. Inwards. And it's not.

It's chest cavity. It's one of many things that you could get made fun of in, like, elementary school and high school. It's one of the many things that's wrong with me. They had so many things. Well, does it affect anything? Well, no, like some people, it's real bad. Yeah. We haven't any luck.

Pectus X cavitium. Sounds fancy enough for me. God, that sounds terrible. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is definitely. Yeah, somebody I knew had it like real, real bad. Yeah, see, like, it's like a big deal for some people to get that. They got to get that shit fixed.

Oh, shit. That one's bad. I can't imagine getting that fix. I would hurt. It just seems so invasive. Man, you feel like a dick now for asking Ryan if you got it? Yeah, it's a baseball. God damn pectus of act to take you.

Maybe it wasn't paying attention in Tball. Someone just had a dinger right off the T. I think I like the scientific name. The other names aren't as fun. Well, it's kind of fun. Funnel chest, dented chest, sunken chest, concave chest, chest hole. I've actually I didn't even

I wasn't going to say this but then you showed the picture I've seen a TikTok of someone with this condition and they were eating cereal oh Ryan can put a beer in it yeah I got the belly now too so like the belly holds

Are you talking about the liquid or the actual You ever see Ryan sitting in like any chair and he's got a beer just perched up like a built-in beer holder Crapes have I Oh yeah it's just sitting on your belly and is sitting in your dent.

That's a full-sized cup holder. That's a full-size gut move there. You can do it, right? You're doing it with a shirt on. He would spill immediately. I was actually so freaking bad at T-ball. I played small-town league softball. And that's one of those things.

My parents should have just pulled me out of that. Bad at T-ball? What is that even? Actually, it wasn't T-ball. I probably was bad at T-ball too. I think I was bad at T-ball, too. Softball. More or less.

Were you guys good at any sports? Skateboarding, snowboarding. Organized sports? No. One time I was playing outfield because in Small Town League softball, when you're 11, nobody can hit it to the outfield. But we were playing Holly when they always had the good athletes because, you know, we got our two of Holly athletes here.

But some guy hit it really far and the ball was coming and it was in the sun. And I got scared and I went like that. And I caught it. Oh, shit. Yeah, won the fucking game. Wow. Or at least the inning. But if I remember it, it was like my, it was the world series.

Ryan thinks every inning is a game. I have a similar story that this was in, I don't know, must have been underhand pitch. But there was this cute teenage girl. So I would have probably been fucking eight. But I was standing on first base. And she was kind of over here. And I was like, looking at her. And I was staring.

The kid hit fucking hit me square in the chest. Square in the chest. And I can't. remember if it landed in my glove or just hit the ground, but people were laughing. People were laughing because I wasn't paying attention. I wore that motherfucker right to the chest, and I always had the wind knock out of me. And, uh, but like, I was too embarrassed to really show us, uh, you know, and they did a debt. So that's, I don't got a dent.

That's where you got the, you get hit with a baseball. I was like, that makes so much more sense now. Yeah, no, but that happened. Yeah, I was staring at his chick. Dude, slow pitch sometimes stresses me out. Like, you get some of the beer league guys. and like it's just big you know any size dude

there's no beer league kids in mine but yeah so luckily you'd be fine there Mike what fucking league are you in dude so you've never heard of beer league softball no I have but when you're eight so whoa who said I was in it when I was eight

he was 11 plenty old to no good for you got your you're like slow pitch into these like full grown men and you're like just normal distance away slow pitching a giant ball that's the easiest thing to hit in the world and they can just laser it wherever they want and if that shit hits you in the head i mean anywhere i'm just saying like a baseball is smaller can hit you about just as hard but the softball bigger and then you just get a big piece of it and like domes you

anywhere on your body that shit is sending you home dude i kind of picture mike cody and evan like being the bench warmers in the movie where they're playing like little league softball Like, why don't these kids drinking? They're out there playing against 12-year-olds. Oh, and we're full-size. You're the full-grown adults. Benchwormers is an incredible movie. I was in golf.

And I had this buddy that was in golf with us. That got hit twice in one season. Like bad. But it's... It just became like the joke of the team that this kid was going to get hit. And he did. Oh, they joked about it before he got hit.

Like, where did he get hit? Bro, I can't remember, but I had... Yeah, like... Bad. Bad. Is he crying? I don't know about that, but like, like, full on, like, getting hit. And I did he...

No, I didn't. But I think he, like, quit. Because it became a safety hazard. Bro, that's funny. First dude to get, like, had to quit golf. It was too dangerous for him. I mean, yeah, after the second one, you're like, I'm done with this shit.

Yeah, getting hit by, like, a full-sized drive or really anything would... Bad deal. Bad deal. Yeah, golf balls can do some damage. At least they have some, like, give to them so they can bounce off your head easier. I'm not sure if they have much give. No, they don't. CJ, to answer your question, though,

believe it or not i was uh actually the leading goal score in soccer honestly i don't think you i don't think you ever told us that not that you were i don't think it's that impressive of a of a of a but that means you're the star player of an accomplishment you know that means you were the tj oshy scoring goals i'm sure if i quite say that team was pretty bad so i didn't have much to beat but other than that though no no it was not an athlete i wish i would have stuck with golf though because, like, I feel like being good at golf, you can obviously golf for your entire life. I mean, look at Grandpa Ronnie's 80 and he's still out there.

And, like, if you're really good at golf, it's even more fun. Because then you can go out there and, like, not get pissed every single shot. Dude, I just saw this video. There was this guy, and I guess the article says he's a YouTuber. But he was teeing off at a golf event and just rocked it into the crowd. On purpose? No, on accident. Oh.

I always wonder that When I see those like PJ I mean granted Those guys know how to hit the ball straight But if I was out there It'd be a real hazard This guy pro? I don't think so But what are these people doing?

Holy shit dude Could you imagine shanking it into a crowd like that? Are they okay? Yeah, he was okay He took it to the head Wait, it was the guy? Oh my God Dude, you was filming?

Holy crap. Ouch, dude, that's slow. You know how much you'd have, you know, people pay to stand there? They'd have to pay people to stand there if I were golfing. Dude, you know, I'm just saying there's like so many people down the way. You can't even stand parallel to me or whatever. Yeah, you can't even stand behind you. Talk about a gamble I would not be willing to take.

Yeah. But that's what I mean. Even with like really good golfers, I don't think I'd be comfortable standing there knowing that that could happen. That's crazy. They're rocking. Yeah, bro. People get hit on golf courses all the time. like really yeah so golf is a dangerous sport it is well i don't know what the odds are but like you

golf long enough yeah you're probably gonna get hit you're probably the one doing the hitting we're all going to keep golfing the rest of our lives most likely what's going to come first the hole in one or getting domed you getting domed for sure yeah there's no chance had a hole in one i hate to say it mike yeah you're right my sister was a professional golfer and she's had one hole in one. Then she's only got one thing left to do. That's pretty cool. It's funny that you say that because I agree completely and I still, it's on my bucket

list. Hold in one. Hold on one. Get out there. Mike. You got a lot of holes in play. Mike. Yeah, I got, well, a lot of, yeah, a lot of par threes.

If there's any part twos out there, let me know. I tell you what, though, Mike, honestly, don't give up on your dream of getting a hole in one because Grandpa Ron has three hole in one. ones. Wow. He plays a lot of golf. He plays a lot of golf, but. I would accept it not happening, but I got many years.

I actually in team sports was so bad in basketball, I got the no dribble rule. I wasn't allowed to dribble. I was either. I was, well, it's not exactly. What do you mean that? The coach, the coach came to me and said, Ryan, if the ball comes to you, you stop and immediately look for someone else to pass it to. or you shoot it like you are not to dribble it around how do you take that like how do you uh i mean

i wasn't going to be like no fuck you i'm so good at dribbling because i wasn't but did you know did you understand like wow he's telling me i'm so bad or we're yes okay yeah yeah it's good plan i said that but in my brain i went i am so not to be trusted with this ball right now i need to either immediately get rid of it or shoot dribble funny no dribbling it's like the easiest thing to do. But it was just that I think the idea was that if the ball came to me was only to go to someone else who could make a play or to shoot, I wasn't going to be making any plays out there on the court.

And the, I used to always think that you were a pretty good basketball player because you always wore Jordans. First of all, I was a good shooter. Bro, you wore Jordan's shirts, sweatshirt, he did. You're right.

Jordan. His fit in high school. And his shorts. He'd always wear the long Jordan's past the knees. He was swayed. They were in style. You always listened to like 50 cents. We're popping up some photos right here.

This is Jordan Ryan. They were in style. So I always thought that Ryan was like super good at basketball because I'm quite possibly the worst basketball player that you've ever met. Can't make it anything. So like we'd be out playing basketball on his driveway. And I'm like, dude, this guy's like fucking LeBron James. No, I was a good shooter.

I just had no court vision Was not a good team player I couldn't like work with Also remembering plays was so hard It's really bad at that I like what you said there Court vision obviously there's like having ball handling skills But I've like the point guards

When they're rolling down and they're like Just look this way and they're passing it this way Like that to me is one of the most satisfying things ever That I'll never be able to do It's just like fake someone out by knowing What's going to happen on the basketball court Then I got cut from the golf team not cut i just wasn't allowed to go to meets oh yeah i thought we've talked about this i wasn't

allowed to go to meets either i was just i could practice they took my membership money but yeah they i wasn't allowed to i wasn't allowed to go to meets and i it was so what did that conversation look like uh i just stopped getting invited it was after it was after i did really bad and i didn't think that my score mattered i was like oh they only take the best one so i like ended up just like tenning every hole and my coach was like what the fuck did you do today like our team's actually good and I was like I thought like they only took the top three and they were like no it's everybody I kind of I screwed the whole team I didn't get to go anymore yeah well it's usually six and then they have like eight playing and two don't that's what I thought

I thought it was a part of the people who it didn't matter I was just there to have fun but apparently I was important oh man but nobody really it was never like there wasn't like a meeting in the locker room. Yeah, that you were invited to. That you're right. There was. I just wasn't there, dude. They're like,

what do we do about this guy? Just quit inviting them. But I was too stupid to know. So that's good. Sometimes that's the best. For me, when they didn't invite me, I'm just like,

this is great. They didn't invite me again. Now I just get to go hit the course. Like, which was kind of silly, but I was happy about it. I was like, another day,

I don't have to, I mean, the days that they got to miss school, but when it's like, when I did not envy the people like in track and golf and especially cross country on a rainy day

that they're like trucking two hours in the bus to like Monomen to go run or golf in the rain. That doesn't sound fun. Yeah, it was always like the shittiest weather. Well, thanks for saying I was good at basketball.

You want to go play horse in the driveway? I want to see you get dressed up in some Jordans. I still got some. All of your Jordan stuff. I'll go put some on. Wear that for. for the weekend.

See where that gets you. Ryan's an all white, got a headband, walks into Zorbas. Dressed like damn Carmelo Anthony. Yeah, he's got a t-shirt below his elbows and his shorts go below his knees. All right. We wrap?

All right, well, have a great rest of your week, guys. Thank you for listening. Subscribe if you haven't, and we'll see you in the next one.
