Starting point is 00:00:00 Ah, what was I just going to say? You're going to say, welcome back to Life Wide Open podcast with Ryan, CJ, myself, Ben and Jamie, or sorry, Ken. Don't call him that. I know. I know he doesn't like that. Been listened too much Rogan. Dude, I've been listening to a lot of Theo Vaughn. So funny, bro.
Starting point is 00:00:18 He's my favorite podcaster for sure. Besides for you, Ryan. Thanks, Doc. Have you ever listened to a solo podcast? Like, he'll just do a podcast alone. Have you ever listened to him? I almost get more enjoyment out of that because I like. I think the funniest part about him is watching him think.
Starting point is 00:00:34 And his ability. And he, like, licks his lips and he, like, looks up in the air. You know he's about to say some outlandish shit. And he does that the most when he's just talking to himself. It's amazing. I can't believe that he's able to sit there and just, like, portray thoughts out semi-coherently for an hour and a half. Like, I don't listen to those because I'm like, it's tough listening to a one-person podcast no matter who it is. But.
Starting point is 00:00:58 what amazes me is how he manages to come up with these stories on the fly and they have to all be fake. They have to. I wouldn't say all. I would not say all, I would say a majority of them have to be for how outlandish they are
Starting point is 00:01:14 and I've never heard him tell the same story twice. That's actually what's crazy is I've told the same story twice a million times and he's always out there on every podcast or every one of his own never even talks about the same thing twice or the same person. feel like Mike could do a solo podcast. I would enjoy it. Maybe episode 82. That's what we'll do. Just Mike. Oh, next week. Yeah. You got to subscribe to see it though. We always talk about at the end.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Subscribe now. Huh. On that tangent, like, I have absolutely listened to a substantial amount less music since I started like listening to podcasts. I never listened to podcasts. Let's say two years ago. Ever. Never ever. I was like podcasts are boring. They're for people who want to learn. They're just boring. It's like a talk show. It was trying to learn. Yeah. Yeah, who's trying to learn? Why would you want to learn when you're driving in the car instead of listening to dubstep EDM music that is going to make your ears bleed, you know?
Starting point is 00:02:09 Well, it only makes it bleed if you turn, well, unless you're Ben, I guess. No, what I'm getting at is like, that's what it was. It was music in the car, music on the computer, music in your headphones, music, music, music. And now I get bored when I listen to music. I get bored. I'm like working and I'm like, I don't feel like I'm getting the juices going right now. I got to put a podcast on. And then the last podcast I listened to was it, the Ovan podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I feel like there's a big cultural shift into podcasts, people listening to them, like you guys. Completely agree. Mike, this made me think of it. The other day you posted a Snapchat of you driving or doing something. And it had the most aggressive EDM music in the background. Do you listen? So if you do listen to music, you're listening to that, like driving in the car alone. Buy yourself.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Yeah. Sometimes, yeah. I'm like one of those There's like the I listen to anything guys And then people are like There's like a whole genre on TikTok Oh you listen to anything
Starting point is 00:03:04 And then they play like Some outlandish song It's not always dubstep Sometimes it is Dude that's just one thing I've just never managed to get into Yeah For me it's just a lot of rap
Starting point is 00:03:15 Dubstep and But to be fair Mike's in like Level 10 EDM Bwomp music So like you have to You have to learn into those levels
Starting point is 00:03:27 it'd be like going to just the most lyrical nitty gritty rap that you've ever heard right off the bat and never have even listened to like the baby yeah or it's like m yeah it's where it's like rock music and i'm not super into metal i can appreciate it but you go all the way to the most extreme metal and then it's like oh what is i like like shine down and like rolling stones you know there's there is you're right there's levels to it what's your guilty pleasure music like what's the songs that you listen to in the car that like people would be surprised to hear i don't know it depends the crowd but like around this crowd it seems like country music no no no no this is not around this crowd this is like you in the car like do you really bump taylor swift and in your head you go
Starting point is 00:04:11 you're like listening to it and you go i like i can't believe i i because that's what i think of sometimes when i listen to the dubstep i'm like i can't believe that i love this shit yeah i'm gonna go the other route i think my guilty pleasure is sometimes like the most basic songs where I kind of even hate myself for liking them. There you go. Like what? Like I don't know like something some shit that you'd hear like some Ed Shearing that you'd hear on the radio. Oh I can picture that like you guys hopping I quick change it. I can't be damn radio. I can't listen to this. I do love that. I love hopping in someone's car and then seeing exactly that and them changing it like for Ken it
Starting point is 00:04:51 actually we made jokes about that. It is Ben Shapiro show. It is Ben Shapiro. And you're more doing it like, all right, let me get some music on for you. Or, yeah, or some hairy styles or something like that. I would say something basic that is just kind of like, it's kind of a little bop. That is funny, though, because I think that's pretty common. Like, you listen, you have music you listen to when you're driving alone, cranked up. But then when your friends hopping, you're like, oh, shit. Depending on who your friends are, you're like, let's say it wasn't one of you guys.
Starting point is 00:05:21 There's maybe one of our other friends that we only occasionally hang out with. I'd probably just be like, boom, just hit, like, country radio. Just let it, let it roll, have it on, like, medium volume. Some people are so good at curating a playlist to fit the vibe of situations. Like, Ryan's girlfriend, Alonja, I always give Ox to her or tell whoever is on Ox. Just let Alanya play Ox. Just let Alanya play. Because, like, you read the room, and then you kind of just curate it to that.
Starting point is 00:05:49 But then you just, like, you pick songs that everyone can vibe to that aren't, Nish almost. She's got her ear to the ground, though. She has new songs before I even, like, I hear most new music from her. Well, if you like it, it's not exhausting, but it can be exhausting. It's a task. And so if someone's like, you're on ox, but you better play good shit and like, oh, fine. Then it's like stressful.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Justin is also very good at it. Yeah. And dude, I mean, he's like forgetting to, you know, like sip out of his beer, forgetting to talk to people. Like he's just on the phone. He texts us like a full-time. job yeah dude i just saw that apple has an update um if you connect to car play when you hop in the car with somebody and in multiple people can connect to car play that's then you can throw songs on
Starting point is 00:06:36 the queue wow that's pretty sick spotify had that months ago what yeah it's just always funny because spotify yeah apple's always maybe a tick behind but they always are way better at notarizing a new feature and then everyone's like apple's a genius they need no shit i'm on spot I didn't even know that. If you could do that on a boat when you're out at the sandbar, that'd be so nice. And you never get the, you never get the like, hey, can you play this song type of deal? Out it on. Just add it.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Well, do you think that's almost giving too much power to people that don't deserve it? Maybe if the wrong person gets on there, you know? You know? Yes. But I love then you, then you have one person in charge and they are able to go, oh, whoa, whoa, you hear, yeah. Well, yeah, you get a gatekeeper. Like, Alonra is going to be the gatekeeper. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Yeah, true. You know, keeping a real close eye on that cue. When it's like Saturday at 2 and CJ throws on break stuff by limp biscuit, she's like, uh-uh, too early. I would say that's CJ's guilty pleasure music. That's like 11 a.m. type of thing. Maybe earlier.
Starting point is 00:07:37 That's like when you first wake up on a Saturday, still a little drunk. Turn that on. You're going to have a good day. Evans into some real aggressive shit. And then when he starts getting into like the little peep side of thing, and it's like suicide rap. Yeah, you're kind of like, all right. That's what it's like.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Now you're just making everyone sad. It is interesting because even, yeah, again, listen to everything, but a lot of that suicide rap, just check out. I'm like, it's a little much sometimes. Doesn't really sound good. My guilty pleasure is like early 2000s. And it all started when I bought my Hummer. I thought I have to listen to period current music, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:13 when I'm in my Hummer. I got to listen to what people would have listened to in 2005. So I started to go get a Hummer playlist on Spotify. And it is the most golden. early 2000s to mid-2000s rap it was a good time dude i think that that's like an era at least in our friend group that like anyone can vibe to exactly especially like late nights in the sprinter you throw that on and like everyone knows every single song and every word to it dude you know it's funny though last weekend we were in with your girlfriend's uh younger brother and his friends
Starting point is 00:08:46 you could throw on like uh my my cousins are younger so on the fourth of july i was like oh i'll throw on some like Kanye like all the lights or like something like that I'm like this gonna hit put it on everyone's like what is this and I'm like oh my god did I go too far back I went too far back I'm getting old yeah sucks I guess like you guys never listened to this warming up for a basketball game or something like that and then they're like we never heard it uh have did you guys see the new apple VR headset that got released I saw a I saw a picture of it I didn't quite understand what it was I didn't click on it so I watched the video of of the release everything or you know like the the promo video that they release with it pretty crazy well what's it do
Starting point is 00:09:26 well it's just a VR headset but like it it it's see through one so you can also see like what's going on in front of you but then it's also like you have your apps in front it's like a heads-up display for your life yeah yeah yeah that's a great way to put it yep heads up display but it's like i mean looks kind of the same as as like an iphone or an ipad or something like that with like everything going on and then you use your hands to like select things and move things over and then you can like how so you can watch like a movie and you could go like this and it'll make the movie like bigger and you just sit there or if you're like scrolling app to app you can do that i think you can just do it with your hand or if you're like working on like a presentation board you can like grab things
Starting point is 00:10:08 over here and like throw them there it's wild well that's what i i like too you can have multiple things going just how you have multiple monitors could you have could i have something going on over here and then I also have something going on over here I'm sure because then you just it's probably like full 360 I'd imagine maybe I don't know man we are just getting closer and closer to the robots coming those fuckers and Wally how much driving around on the little hoverboards did you guys see how much it's estimated to cost 3,500 bucks right yeah that's what it said in the picture I saw yeah that was ridiculous who the heck is going to buy that a lot of people oh yeah you're right A lot of people.
Starting point is 00:10:47 That's a lot of money just to, I don't know. I can go as far to say as maybe even one of us. I don't know who. Well, I know. I think I know who, too. Yeah. But, I mean, I remember that, like, what changed my mind about, like, Apple's pricing, which I hate, I think that it's overpriced and you get what you get.
Starting point is 00:11:04 But when someone was like, damn, dude, $1,500 for a phone, and then other people are like, it is literally a supercomputer in your pocket. And then I'm like, you're right. It actually is. Do you guys remember what you can do? Uh, get it. Not get an Android. That's not even an option.
Starting point is 00:11:20 You're right. Do you remember when iPhone upgrades used to be like, were the 200 bucks to just upgrade year after year? I feel like, yeah, some of the first iPhone, someone should look up account. How much is the first iPhone? I mean, it's probably all relative to, but. The original iPhone purchased off contract was $5.99. Okay. No.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Okay. How much was it off contract? But it was like $199 with a two-year contract. Got it. Okay. Okay. I mean, 200 bucks. Yeah, they really let those go. I remember that was so fun, like back before you just basically went and got the most current iPhone.
Starting point is 00:11:54 When you'd go there and like- Pick out. You'd pick out your phone. It was like a big decision. It was like, personality. Do I get the envy? Do I get the chocolate? The chocolate. Like, do I want a razor?
Starting point is 00:12:03 Do I stick with the razor? Right. How old are you guys? 14. What grade is that? Going into 8th. How old were you? I was like sixth grade.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Yeah, six. It was fourth. I had a Virgin mobile phone, though. So, like, it was like a pay-as-you-go. It was different. Yeah, and as ages get a little younger, like, I think parents can see the benefit of their, I don't know, let's just say,
Starting point is 00:12:28 12-year-old being able to contact you if there's an emergency or being able to contact them if there's an emergency. They're used for a lot more than that. I mean, but when you grow up on an iPad, you know, like, actually. I think kids are getting younger and younger. or they're getting phones younger and younger. Can't blame people for getting their kid a phone just because then it's like, I don't want to know where they are.
Starting point is 00:12:50 You know where they're at. It's just like that's the biggest thing. It's like safety almost. But yeah, at the same time, you're kind of like giving them. That's so true, dude. Actually, like, pros and cons, double-edged sword. Not knowing where your kid is is absolutely a thing in the past.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Dude, Steve was telling me the other day that one of his friends that has, I don't know, a 10-year-old or something like that, Got him chipped. Chipped? Chipped? The kid? Yeah. Like a tracker.
Starting point is 00:13:16 It's in his skin? Yeah. They put him under the knife? I don't know. I don't know what all it entailed and he didn't either because I was very curious. But he was like, yeah. No, he's straight up like chipped. Well, when do you take that out?
Starting point is 00:13:28 I guess it's probably like a GPS dog tag type of deal, you know? People get their dogs chipped and shit. I don't know about that. That's pretty fucked up. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, I don't. It's like submerging an air tag.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Why not just have them, yes. Jeez Louise. I don't know. Maybe you got him. Chip and young. Talk about a hover parent. Yeah, dude. There's some things that maybe it's just better if you don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:49 You maybe assume, but you just don't know. About what? What's your kids doing when you're young? You know, like all the shit. You meant being chipped. Like,
Starting point is 00:13:57 it's just better if you don't know if you're chipped or not. Dude, those chips, though, I mean, I'd imagine give off radiation like your cell phone, not to get all like this. But we talked about this few episodes in the past.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Now this dude's got it in his body. Hard to know because I'd like to, I would like to think that when they made them and we're like, yeah, these are actually going to go inside your body. I'd like to think that they alleviated such radiation. No, probably not. I think they're not concerned about that right now.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Dude, what have you had like a cheap-ass parent? And he's like, I'm not paying for the chip. It's a thousand bucks. We're putting an air tag in you. He cuts you over with a pocket knife and slips an air tag in there. Oh my gosh. How am I going to charge it? You got to swallow this.
Starting point is 00:14:36 When you're sleeping, I'll just put the little, like, it's like an Apple Watch charger. You just magnet. it to their skin. All right, now don't move for an hour. It should be good. Ken, can you Google where they would put the chip in a child like that? I think normally it's like your arm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Wow. Normally it's like an RFID thing, so there's no power to it unless you're next to something. And they started finally moving forward with actually putting near links in people? Well, I don't know about that, but they got it approved. I don't think they like... I figured they'd act pretty fast once it was approved. How many people you think are lining it up to get it? Probably a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Probably. Yeah. Especially if there's compensation. I was sitting down with a couple of my friends. They're all on their way to being doctors. And, you know, there's not too many tables I feel at that I feel like a real idiot. But you sit down with two pharmacists and three doctors, one of them being, two of them, being surgeons, you really feel like you don't know anything they're saying.
Starting point is 00:15:38 but they were talking about how people uh one of them works in growing areas i can't what they're called but basically he's a dick doctor he's talking about stuff like yeah this guy shoved a knife up there and like all the stuff that they people put inside different orifices that shouldn't and i go man i i can't even feel that bad about myself some people are really messed up what the fuck was that guy thinking shoving a knife up there that he says it always everybody always says oh i fell on it No, always. Always fell on it. The last guy had the same thing happen.
Starting point is 00:16:12 That's got to be a weird fetish. Yeah, he said sexual gratification, which I don't really know what that means, but, oh, I do, but. Oh, my God. Yeah, I do. She showed me a picture. It was like a ruler, and it was a stick like this long. He said it was technically a girl or a guy that was a girl, but said had quite the hammer on her. Because it was a big stick.
Starting point is 00:16:37 What were we talking about? about before, how did you, chip in your kid? Before phones, though, like, dude, have you ever, like, your grandparents ever just show up unannounced? Your grandparents are maybe a little more hip, but, like, my grandparents would always do that because they grew up not having phones. Shit, I don't even know if they had power in their house. So, like, they wouldn't call and be like, hey, what are you up to tonight?
Starting point is 00:17:00 I'm coming over like a normal person does in this society. They would just show up at your door at, like, 4.30. And then my dad would come home, and they'd be like, sitting there and he's like what are you guys doing here and they're like oh well we just figured we catch you after work and he's like you didn't think to call one of those deals i wish you could go like back in time and experience that as like a video game level because i think if we were actually you know it would be more of a fun thing like okay you have to figure out how to get a hold of this person and then execute this which now is just like well i just call them oh i just
Starting point is 00:17:33 get their number hot take i think we grew up in the we're growing up in the best time to be alive yeah i'd agree uh what about this you hop in a fucking wagon and you go across the country i think that every time we go snow will be hoping that there's a better life yeah yeah no roads wild no or this you hop in a boat and you go across the entire ocean off the just the slightest chance that life will be better in wherever you're going the united states we have what you've heard We have this resort near us on Pelican Lake, and it's really old. How old is Fair Hills? Over 100 years.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yeah, so over 100 years. They have pictures all over the walls. It's like 1915, and it's guys fishing in full-blown suits like that you would wear to a wedding or a funeral or some shit. Out in the hot sun. Yeah, in the sun with like a boat with a paddle. And I go, man, you ever think that if you could have teleported back and told them and be like, yeah, people are going to pull up in their...
Starting point is 00:18:35 Hummer. Yeah, and they're a homer. But in their, like, let's just say, $300,000 wake boats with 500 horsepower in them. What do you think they would have said? I'd imagine that'd be probably pretty hard to comprehend. So what would that be like somebody said? Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It'd be like somebody saying they're going to pull up with like a $5 million boat. Yeah, but now we know what we know now. I don't know. I know what you're saying. I'm just trying to like think of like the. times I guess they'd probably be just very confused as to like how this area got to that point you know because this area the area that we live in right now used to be like extremely rural it was hard to get to hard to get to take a train and then there would be a boat that would take
Starting point is 00:19:23 you down this like river slash canal that connected all the lakes and they would drop people off at their cabins so like you'd have to already be pretty wealthy but they would drop you off And then the only way to get back is you'd catch the boat when it comes back around. So think about how much slower life moved back then. Because you couldn't call anyone, you couldn't mail anyone. So, like, say you had a job or you lived in Fargo, 45 minutes. You'd take the train from Moorhead all the way up here and then do that. I mean, you'd talk about slow living.
Starting point is 00:19:54 You'd have all your supplies with you. You'd get dropped off and you'd just wait until they come back. Yeah, man. I mean, it just kind of shows like, dude, people, people back then were like tough bastards like to be able to be to be able to go in a horse and buggy across the entire United States you had to be to survive man but uh that's what it was surviving do you guys ever feel like you're like moving too fast like you how I know if I'm moving too fast is I start making mistakes and then I always tell myself I'm like I need to slow down
Starting point is 00:20:28 like let's say I'm in a rush and then I'm like try I'm going to go and try to make this food real quick. And then I end up spilling the food on the floor. Now I spend another 10 minutes trying to clean up the floor and then it's like, I'm moving too fast, you know? Or you make a mistake on the video and then it goes out and I'm like, God damn it, I was just moving too fast. Didn't have enough time. Yeah, I think, well, there's that. Those are like the day to day things. And then there's also like the shit, I haven't done X activity that I used to love doing like a month ago. I used to do it like every other day. And now I haven't done it in a month. What happened? moving too fast i think people that can like compartmentalize is that the correct word for right thank you
Starting point is 00:21:09 um and like focus on certain things and then move on to the next thing but like not bring the last thing with them uh but like focus on exactly what you're doing uh throughout the day are like very successful to be able to just like move from thing to thing to thing and being able to like not multitask but like get it all done 100% Yeah. No, I think that's how you almost like do a good job at everything versus kind of just like half-ass. Yeah, doing a shitty job because you're worried about the next thing already. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:40 And especially in what we do, what a lot of, you know, the more successful you're trying to be, the more hands you're trying to put places. But you can't, let's say you only have two hands. So those have to either work on one or two things at a time and that's it. I think that comes with also like just being an obsessive or like having like addictive traits, you know, qualities. Yeah, I think the more obsessed you are with whatever your goal is, the more, the easier time you'll have compartmentalizing your tasks.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah, but you also probably don't focus on other things too because you're obsessed with the current thing. I just think it's like when the to-do list is like a million tasks long, it's scary. And then you start trying to chip it away at all of them, not the move. Just go brick by brick, and then you got a wall. True. Yo, do you guys follow golf at all?
Starting point is 00:22:30 No, no. Okay. So do you know what Live golf is? Yeah. And the PGA? I heard about this, yeah. Okay. So you know how Liv started and it's Saudi Arabia investors that basically funded the entire thing?
Starting point is 00:22:47 And then... Isn't it mostly like European base or they're in the States too? No, they're in the States. They're in the States. They're kind of worldwide. Okay. But they basically poached a bunch of like the PGA golfers from the PGA. And the PGA got real.
Starting point is 00:23:00 gigantic money massive money gigantic and then pGA was all like yeah they're not coming back yeah yeah pretty much yeah yeah uh but they offered them like 100 million dollar paychecks yeah huge like huge paychecks well anyway after like the last year of them being in like lawsuits with each other they just joined but did you hear the real beef what the pGA tour in order to go like trying to cancel all the people that left them all the big players and And all of Live Golf, they go, oh, Live Golf supported 9-11 and all that. Like, they were trying to say that they were, like, funding terrorist groups and shit like that. Well, I think it was more like Saudi Arabia.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Saudi Arabia. Yeah, no, but there was a bunch of stuff about 9-11 and, like, anti-American things. But then the funniest thing is, then the PGA flips and joins them. Does all that shit count now? Well, I think it's, like, extremely hypocritical. Yeah. And obviously they had to have known like, all right,
Starting point is 00:24:02 if we're doing this, like we look like really bad. Yeah. But yeah, I think it was ridiculous that everyone was saying that all these golfers that were leaving were like anti-America supporting Saudi Arabia for doing 9-11 allegedly. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:24:22 no, they're just taking a $100 million dollar paycheck. You had to go play golf. What would you do? These people like talking shit, like you're telling me you wouldn't. take that paycheck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:31 If you had, like, that's like generational money. Yeah. To play some golf. Yeah. Like literally get paid 10x. And now one year later,
Starting point is 00:24:38 though, now they can go back and they get their, they get their paycheck. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you know who really got screwed? All the players that stuck with the PGA and then the PGA flopped on them.
Starting point is 00:24:50 I guess they were like, I guess that those players were super pissed about it. I bet. Because then they like, you know, they were turning this down. Yeah. They stuck with the PGA.
Starting point is 00:24:59 PGA, we have your back, and then they were, the PGA was like, oh, never mind. We'll flip. Yeah. Dude, you know what? I got to give you two credit with that. You stick to your guns on shit. If you make up your mind, I mean, not that you're not adaptive, but if you have an opinion on something, unless facts are presented that it's something better, you stick to your guns about it. And it goes a show when you flip flop on something like that, you look like a real idiot. it is a double-edged sword and it does get you in some greasy situations but yeah i feel like yeah you got to just stick to it but i believe in believing what you believe in is the best thing yeah yeah especially if you can just like convict well obviously you've convinced yourself of it
Starting point is 00:25:47 yeah but then you just stick to it because you know that's like the worst thing is is the pGA was saying all those super negative things just to give them bad press and to try to get people not to go because they didn't want to lose their holdover things. They probably didn't even really care about all that stuff. They made it up to make the live golf sound bad. But then when they flip on themselves, then it goes, well, what? Did you support all that all along now? Is that still how you feel?
Starting point is 00:26:11 Did your feelings change about that? So it's like pretty rough. It's kind of cool, though, because like Live golf started and they basically wanted to have a completely different approach at golf to make it more interesting and attract a different crowd, you know? and they did that and they became like the competitor to PGA which nobody could compete with and then they basically PGA just had to accept that like this is the new norm and either they're going to take us over or we join and get stronger from it which is cool though because like
Starting point is 00:26:43 there's so many markets that I think are just like dominated by you know certain players in the game and it just shows that like if you do come in with a little bit of innovation or be like somewhat different like you can be a competitor to that which is good i think because then it keeps everything evolving versus you're just like golf is going to just beat golf i can't imagine a whole lot of listeners right now are like into golf but it i think it just goes to show that money is is i mean really where it all goes down i mean it boils down to it as sad as that is it's like whoever's got the most money well that's what i was hoping that eGA wasn't making these potentially false um statements that they may or may not have believed in all for money
Starting point is 00:27:27 and then like being hypocritical all for money but yeah as someone who's like not a golf fan I just to me golf is PGA so it is cool that it's not anymore it's crazy to see like everything going into some form like it seems like Saudi Arabia has their hand in so many buckets now because they got all the money dude it's so much money but they're running out of oil so they're
Starting point is 00:27:54 They're trying to diversify, I think, right? Is that why I can? They're not running out of oil. They're planning for when they do run out of oil. They're just like looking 50 years in the future and they're saying, we need to diversify and build up an economy that's not 100% oil-based. So when the oil money does stop flowing in, they have money from other sources. I think it'd be kind of cool to go and check out Saudi Arabia and Dubai and over there.
Starting point is 00:28:22 For sure. Yeah, you guys ever been on Instagram? seen an account post something and just wonder what the heck their media team is doing? Dude, I think about that a lot when companies try and get like funny meme accounts on Instagram. You notice that? Like certain companies go like the meme route. And it sometimes they hit Slim Jim really good.
Starting point is 00:28:45 That's a great example. They actually do hit. Yeah, they kind of like the people actually who really invented it. But I saw one quite possibly the most odd one. The U.S. Border Patrol, and this is the legitimate U.S. Border Patrol. I haven't even seen it yet, but I just want to say these guys should not be, they're not messing around. They shouldn't be joking around.
Starting point is 00:29:06 They're border patrol. It's still kind of funny, though. And I just wonder what possessed them to make that. I think they probably went, yo, we need a media team. Why? Or one person to stay hip with the times and get employees.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Who gives a fuck? What are they gaining out of having a media team? All they're supposed to do is protect the border. Well, I think the more, it's not like they're selling merch or trying to make YouTube videos or something. It's a double-edged sword. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:48 you're right. Or sell a product online. They're just protecting the borders. But like the more people that per se know this page, exist get reminded that the border patrol exists and oh so you think they like targeted maybe mexico and just was like sponsored post and then it's just the bugatti showing in border patrol to maybe maybe dude i completely agreed with you cj and then i thought and i laughed and i'm like well here i am laughing it was funny there are there's accounts let's just like say um philadelphia
Starting point is 00:30:19 eagles and and there's some like you know how they call them like shit posts and like shit memes they're so out there that if you showed any like 50 year old person they go like actually what did I just watch they're like level level 10 memes they're like only funny if you've really been through a lot of meme right so they'll post something like that and I'm just like man like I can't believe they did it but I still like it and there are including the Border Patrol there's just pages that should be cut and dry and I think the Border Patrol should be cut and dry it should just be pictures of them with like every one they caught or like protecting you know just a picture someone with a sniper sitting up on a tower yeah i think that'd be cool yeah they could make like hard edits yeah not like that not like that like a legit one i'm assuming though that they go all right what's the demographic or age range of people we're trying to hire what are the kids listening to these days and they go all right these kids are on Instagram and TikToks. Let's start making those.
Starting point is 00:31:26 And they went out and they hired some kid. And the kid is sitting there like, how do I make this shit entertaining? And he's sitting there late at night and goes, yo, I'm going to make an edit of one of the patrol cars to this song. And that's how that was boring. I think one thing,
Starting point is 00:31:43 yeah, I agree, but I think one thing you're forgetting in that aspect is that usually when you hire a social media person for any, job ever for any company usually someone else sees it before it goes live in this case either other people saw it before it went live and went yeah if you really think this is going to work and like trusted him or they just gave him free reign i mean to be fair it did work they have 1.2 million views that was way more in all the rest of the vines yeah so either way i mean popped off from but yeah
Starting point is 00:32:14 i know you're saying ryan i've seen a few where a company is like is this real and then you go check their page and it really is macy's posting this it's like um the modern day version of when you would go bowling and uh you get a strike and it's just some outlandish shit of like the the pins all explode and then something happens yeah yeah like some of them were like really aggressive i know exactly what you're talking about i don't understand how it correlates to that it's like The modern day, like, those used to be, like, funny memes, like, just like outland, like you're scrolling on Instagram, but not. I actually like that take.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Yeah, something that just makes no sense, but you can laugh at it. Right. I think most of those bowling ones that you see now are just animations made to look like they used to be a thing, but aren't a thing because they're like pretty aggressive. Ryan, pull up the Buffalo Bills Instagram. Yeah. That's a great example. Buffalo Bills has a very deep level of, like, shit memes.
Starting point is 00:33:18 that most people wouldn't get. And then you see the comments and people are like, yo, give the social media guy a raise. Just give them the company. I do think it's funny though when, you know, certain companies or franchises or brands
Starting point is 00:33:35 decide to go the meme route. It's like two routes on social media, clean and like corporate or meme. I don't think you'll find a status. His makeup is going to help him The margin for error is so small Wrong angle Yeah, man, I got to get some rest
Starting point is 00:34:00 It's hard for me to believe that we are the only Untiling their life Sean can tell you There's players on this roster There are extensive conversation In this roster There are From this roster
Starting point is 00:34:11 I'm talking Dude, this is level 10 Like this is this is How many views I have? 1.1? Compared to 270 or 178 of some guy probably scoring a touchdown and fucking winning the game right here. Like, how do you get in the mindset to make something like that?
Starting point is 00:34:32 I should say showing that to someone is like showing. It's like, hey, this is a person speaking like German and you don't know how to speak German. That's similar to that. Well, I don't know what that was about. You guys, I have something to admit. I think I'm sure it's no surprise but just because you guys know me
Starting point is 00:34:51 I think I am like a level one meme I am so it has to actually be funny for you to laugh at it yeah I think it has got to really be funny or obviously fun I don't fucking know maybe I just don't find that stuff funny I don't know I didn't look at that and go oh my god that is so funny
Starting point is 00:35:12 right it's more funny the whole scenario that's a level 10 meme that was Like Justin would look at that and Justin would know every single meme and think that shit's hilarious. I can cackle to it. But, yeah, I think you're, you being a level one meamer isn't even roastable. Maybe it is. Throw it, but I can't believe you's called CJ a level one meme. I am.
Starting point is 00:35:36 That is the most laugh thing I've ever heard anyone say in there. It's not even really roastable, but there are laughable moments at every level. And I knew CJ was. level one memeer when when his little brother Jake got the video game Big Chungus which for those of you that are memeers know that that's not a real game. That's just a funny thing to say
Starting point is 00:35:56 it's a fat Bugs Bunny and he got a video game called Big Chungas and CJ's like what the fuck is that game? What's Big Chungis? What's he playing these days? And I'm like I didn't even tell you that it wasn't a real video game. No I mean I figured it out but yeah I mean I just don't I don't get it. It's not funny to you. I mean it's kind of funny
Starting point is 00:36:16 now. Big Chung is. It's kind of a funny name. Well, I guess there is that, too. There's like, you don't find it funny enough to, you know, spend your time looking into it. I think some people just really enjoy it and that's awesome. And they spend a lot of time. So they're with it, with the memes, you know. Do you guys have? Sorry. No, you go ahead. I was going to say like Justin's big meamer, you're, I'd say, pretty with it. Whistling Diesel, that guy obviously really likes memes. He's always posting them on a story. We actually have a group chat without you guys. That's fine. It's actually. titled the only people that will understand that's good one of those things it's like the same thing
Starting point is 00:36:52 with like dubstep like the wiggle dick music it's likable but well by some people but some people think it's it's good music some people don't some people like the memes some people don't some people like good music so i was just like a little transition from that do you guys have your suggested post on on on instagram oh i think so i have a love hate relationship with that like they they integrated it in it's Basically, like, peppering in your explore page, but on your feed. It's more than just the people you follow. And I have a love-hate relationship with it because I really enjoy it. But guess what?
Starting point is 00:37:26 It takes up more of your time. I remember at one point, Ben followed so little people that he would hit his, you've reached all your people. You can scroll. Yeah, they don't do that anymore. They just hit you as suggested. Yeah, they want you to keep going. Right. And I turn that off because it's like, damn, I follow, like, enough people where, like, I never hit that.
Starting point is 00:37:43 So clearly, you could keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. I'm just intrigued by it because, like, I'm not saying it's a bad thing if you have it on, but, like, you literally end up scrolling for longer because of it. Man, I already scroll too much, so I don't know how you do it, Mike. You too, Ryan, you guys follow a shit ton of people and Evan. I don't even, I never get through them. No, no.
Starting point is 00:38:06 But that's what I mean. That's why I turn that off because I've never, ever, ever, ever hit that, like, you've scrolled all you can scroll of all you following. You ever think about those people that follow zero people? I do. Like, what do they do? How do they even know what's going on? They just go to a Discover page.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I always wonder that. Danny follows zero. Like, a lot of people follow zero people. Yeah, or they just look people up, maybe. Yeah, it seems like a real hassle. I wonder what this person's been up to. Yeah, like, I could follow them, but I can't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Like, I'm not one to talk. Like, I wouldn't even know if you ever posted. Because, like, I have, I follow a lot of people, so I'm not want to talk, but you're right. Like, there's just some people that's just easier. Just your life is easier if you just follow. them because you're genuinely interested in what they're doing maybe it's better maybe you're better off without it though because then you don't have a distraction and you're just like fuck everyone
Starting point is 00:38:53 maybe not fuck everyone but you're just like i don't need any influence from anyone you know what though when i when i'm on see boys instagram and it just follows us in the podcast it's still pretty like curated to i guess what i like which is amazing because i maybe scroll on that like once a week if that and um it is kind of nice though because it shows you things that i like normally wouldn't look or scroll past on my normal account and then if you see like a side of instagram or maybe a side that that is like new and then um and then i'll go to send you guys something i realize that i'm in c boys so that's why i just added so that's why i added c boys to our group chat because i always find memes or like something that's really funny and i want to send it to you guys
Starting point is 00:39:44 Do a lot of people at home have that? Like, do you know of other friends groups that have an Instagram group chat? Like, ours is active. That's got to be your thing. That is a great. Like, we send like five, ten a day in there. And it could be, well, I mean, whatever we're into, but anything. I mean, crazy video.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Boats and crazy videos, everything. I don't even scroll Instagram anymore. I'm a Facebook guy. Solely Facebook. And before you berate me for being on Facebook, because I would for myself. It is only because of Marketplace. Marketplace is my social media, dude.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I kind of enjoy throwing Facebook and just seeing what the people I actually know are up to. Oh, that too. Dude. Who's getting married? As far as the... Yeah, then again. The marketplace thing, though, Ryan,
Starting point is 00:40:30 so it's only a matter of time, and this is coming off of what we just talked about on Instagram. The whole for you vibe, like TikTok, the whole like curated thing is probably a good thing. I like it. I enjoy it. It brings you things that you. you probably already would like.
Starting point is 00:40:44 But now it does it on Facebook Marketplace. Oh, yeah. It's dangerous and it's awesome. You don't even have to look up vehicles anymore. You don't have to look up CR 125. It just gives you all the things that it knows that you're going to like. But the best part about it is none of it's fake. It's all real stuff for you spend your real money on it.
Starting point is 00:41:03 You know Mike loves that. I can tell Mike's doing a Facebook Marketplace game because he's been spending his money. Yeah, Mike, you guys kind of like, he's like knowing as the guy. They're like come to him. him like I got some stuff I need sold I need some money quick they're like I know a guy he's just over the hill on highway 11 and they go just ask for mic I go to that building ask for micah bring them your stuff there and then they're stuff what do you think how much are you trying to sell for they're like 120 bucks oh you got to hit up ryan for that how much you're trying to sell for
Starting point is 00:41:31 four grand uh you got hit up micah for that because I remember I remember when Ryan was known as the stuff I mean I'm just like oh yeah saying what you guys said Ryan used to be known as a sucker but that is all because he bought a shitty snowboard at Haydays from a kid because you were being nice. I only bought one shitty snowboard and the kid turned around and took the whole 120 bucks and spent it all on C-Boy's merch. Oh, okay. Like the whole $120 bag. That dude just hustled you.
Starting point is 00:41:59 You guys watch Gary V's garage sailing videos at all. So Gary Vee is a very, very wealthy man, very wealthy. But he'll go into a garage sale and he'll go, how much you want for this? I need five bucks. Best I can do is two. Kicks him in the nuts. Why? He walks out and goes,
Starting point is 00:42:21 already checked eBay on this one. Bought it for two. Going to sell it for 14. Add it to the next garage sale. I can see it just high. Why? That's what I'm saying. People, do not pay what they're asking ever.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Don't pay what they're asking. But why? Why with him? If he's got all that money, why is he trying to make 12 bucks? I don't know. He's always trying to show like the UK. You can, even if you don't have money, you can make money.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Is this kind of his gimmick? And the content made from that is worth a lot more than $12. Yeah, true. Yeah, I suppose you're right. That guy's a meme. Yeah. Unfortunately, I feel like if you just, if you get too deep in anything, you're a meme. Actually, that, that is a good point because I was like, I've never really met anyone.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Or if I have, I'm like, I don't know if I can take them seriously. If they're a true, like, hey, have you listened to Gary V? You need to listen to Gary V. You need to listen to him And you need to execute what he's telling you to do Is it ever anyone that's like super wealthy Telling you to do that or like Right
Starting point is 00:43:17 I don't know anyone No I actually No yeah you got Gary V You're like wow that's how you made a million bucks I thought you were going to say I've never met a meme In real life Oh man Yo can we tell the John Wheeler story
Starting point is 00:43:30 All right Right you tell it So we're at this place Who's John Wheeler to preface John Wheeler is the weather man He's a local weatherman. But everyone listening has one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:45 You know, like everyone has their local weatherman. That's kind of a legend. And he's been weathermaning for like 40 years. So he's in a lot of people's lives. Yeah, everybody knows John Wheeler. So anyway, we're at a local bar, which is like maybe a little more classy of an establishment.
Starting point is 00:44:04 And, uh, yeah, bar restaurant. And the crowds overlap. You have kids that are. there like us getting Saturday night wasted and you've also got businessman and weathermen and other adults they're trying to get drunk so I walk in the bathroom and uh John Wheeler is there using the bathroom and there's like three or four guys kind of surrounding him like talking to him and stuff like that all he's pissing poor dudes yeah got his Johnson out his John Wheeler out his wheeler out you know trying to just use the bathroom be a normal guy and these kids are
Starting point is 00:44:43 kind of they got him cornered in this bathroom and and and john bless his soul is a bit of a shorter stature guy and they got him cornered in the bathroom he looks panicked right and so i kind of go like hey fellas fellas back off back off and as i put my arm out john wheeler dips under my arm and runs and scurries out of the bathroom and uh i don't really know how we twisted it from there but i think It started that I told everybody that I'd just saved John Wheeler's life in the bathroom. And then I said, we should go get shots in honor of him. And then now we always tell our friends to order a John Wheeler. And it's not a real shot.
Starting point is 00:45:19 But Tint last weekend, when we were there, Tint went up to the bar and tried ordering a round of John Wheeler's. And the bartender was obviously very surprised and confused. Tint's like, you know, you can see him across, like using his hands and like doing this, like pointing back. and she's like, see it on her face and then he turns around
Starting point is 00:45:40 and we're standing there going laughing at him. But yeah, I felt bad for the dude, you know? That was a meme. He was a local celebrity, but he is a meme now.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Yeah, just his name brings joy and laughter. Luckily, like he's not a meme because of anything that necessarily happened in the bathroom. He's just a meme
Starting point is 00:45:57 because you saved him. And I love that it was you who saved him because you're like, listen, I get it. The guys in there were excited. I don't think they were trying to
Starting point is 00:46:05 no, they weren't trying to be being. But they had them cornered. From one man in the spotlight to another, you saved him. No spotlight is bright as the Fargo Weatherman spotlight. It's a big deal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:19 I think John Wheeler, in the eyes of a lot of local people, would be a much bigger star than us. Oh, yeah. 100%. They know who he is. That's the first step right there. Yeah, they actually know who he is. And that's the case with any weatherman, I believe.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah. Or any TV personality. I did have a guy at the roadhouse this weekend. He tried to, I was, I was peeing and he tried to damp me up. And I was like, I, I'm busy right now. Like I, I, we love talking to people stuff like that. I've never, I don't think I've ever turned anyone down. But I was like, this is not the time, man.
Starting point is 00:46:54 What if three guys came in and cornered you while you're peeing? Well, fuck, I hope Dana Mocker fucking too tall Tom Schumansky was there to say. Other weathermen. I was hoping you'd bring too tall up. I think the weatherman usually get the, like, they're not always, but they usually are like the cool ones. The other guys just tell the news. I don't know if they are.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I feel like people are always mad at the weatherman. Like, they're like, oh, you never right. They're always complaining about them. You think they blame it on them, though? Yeah. I don't think it's their fault in the slightest, but I think that people blame him. They're like, oh, yeah, he's always wrong.
Starting point is 00:47:32 I change it to Channel 10. That's right. You get people that are like, Yeah, it was supposed to rain. Oh, well, are you watching 11? Yeah, you shouldn't be watching that. You got... Go over to 6.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I don't know if people say that anymore because now everyone just checks their phone, but yeah. I do say weather bug is pessimistic. Weatherbug is always saying it's going to rain. Apple Maps doesn't. I mean, I check the weather, of course, a lot less than your average person. I just like to know the big, like,
Starting point is 00:47:57 oh, it's going to be hot tomorrow or cold tomorrow. Might rain, might not. Other than that, it's just whatever the day brings. man i've been so just like going into every single day not knowing like what we're going to end up doing that day or how things are going to go i i just i found that i started bringing like three pairs of clothes you have to pair of pants
Starting point is 00:48:20 a pair of shorts a swimsuit a couple shirts in case you ruin a couple shirts or it gets sweaty and then it gets cold you need the pants i never know like what's going on so i'm just like i'm like travel around with a little duffel bag full of clothes now. I'm the same way. Yeah, especially in the changing seasons, like where you actually might need a coat, hat, gloves, boots, and then you go inside and you're like, oh, I just need a t-shirt. Speaking of that, Ben, how's things going with your new house?
Starting point is 00:48:46 Things are going. Because now you have to travel a little bit further to get to work, so I mean, I noticed you have been a little more late than normal. Are you staying there right now? Yeah, I moved in last week. I just, the last time I talked to you, which was last week, I guess, about it, we're like, you stay in there and you're like, there's nothing in there. there well there still is nothing in there so yeah i i uh closed on the house but they took everything out which was kind of bullshit because i it was it like in the contract i thought so i moved it first day turnkey move in nothing in there i go all right double check that contract
Starting point is 00:49:20 be like yo what the fuck yeah i don't know i think it was i supposed to get furniture with this after i got it um inspected if i came and kicked him in the nuts then they were going to like take it whatever did you kick them in the nuts i mean a little bit no that's what happens Yeah. The only thing turnkey about it was that the key turned? Yeah. Yeah. It is funny, though.
Starting point is 00:49:39 I feel like one of those stories about like the rappers that go out or the NFL players that go out and buy a big new house and they move in and there's nothing in. Yeah, there's nothing in it. And then they. A card table and a couple chairs. So no. It's a work in progress. But yeah, I'm still like sleep. I guess I have a mattress, but it's on the ground.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Is it really? Dude, I was. Oh my God. Hey, I was hoping. Yeah, that's all I have. Fucking beds. set you're 24 yeah but my thing now that i'm like finding is i'm very indecisive on on decorating and things like that yeah bro i'm not an interior decorator that's true and i want to do it right
Starting point is 00:50:19 and i don't want to do it twice so i'm like i'm just not going to do it until uh an interior designer which is wild because i i never fully understood the draw of interior designer i was like paying somebody to decorate it i can decorate that a lot harder than you think lot harder and if you're okay with just just biting the bullet and just like paying them and probably turn out a lot better than it would with you and if it does turn out with you or if you do it then you're not going to like it and you're going to have to do it twice so i'm like i might as well just go that route how much is that going to cost though uh i don't know i feel like that's it's expensive i guess depends who you hire but i feel like you just
Starting point is 00:50:58 got to make up your mind of what you want your room to look like well yeah it depends on Also, it's their job. Or just tell them a budget. To make up your mind. Right. Well, I found out. Well, that's what I thought too. And Greta, I found, Greta is not an interior designer either.
Starting point is 00:51:11 And she knows just as little as I do. I think the blind leading the blind. What people struggle with, like kind of what you said, just pick what you like and make your room. But I think my struggle would be then, okay, well, I can handle that. But what if all the things I like don't go together? And then the eyes of a interior designer, definitely don't go together. But that's how I'm like, well, I like this, this, this and this. and then you like put them in your room and you're like
Starting point is 00:51:32 it just looks like a high school or design this and I guess you know a lot of people are probably like you know it doesn't matter that much or who cares but it's like it does I mean it kind of does if I want to invite over you know people have the house halfway presentable I don't want to be just like
Starting point is 00:51:53 the dude that has no fucking idea what they're doing which is exactly where I'm at right now that's why I have done nothing I met the neighbor though The neighbor came over last night actually And he goes holy shit You're here I was like yeah
Starting point is 00:52:08 I told you I'm gonna be the best neighbor that you have Because I will never be here I haven't been there And yeah he gave me a plate of cookies And goes by the way I've been watching your guys's videos Gotta say You guys are fucking wild

Starting point is 00:53:00 invited you over for drinks. That's what I said. I go, yeah, you keep bringing cookies over and invite me over to get some beers with you. This is going to be a good relationship. I have a confession. I think I have a secret admirer that isn't secret to me, but I know who she is. But I think I have an admirer. Who?
Starting point is 00:53:20 Not a stalker and admirer. Oh, my. Maybe a stalker. What is this? It is the lady who makes our jerseys. No. Yeah. From China?
Starting point is 00:53:32 Yeah. Her name is Jenny, I think. I think that's her Americanized name. She recently just texted me and said a bunch of sad eyes emojis and said, Hello, Ryan. You've been three months and not reply me. Uh-huh. And then just today.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Just today she responded three crying faces. Ryan. Because I've been kind of blowing her off. Ask her for her Venmo. You and Mike could both send her some money. We have sufficiently ordered for her. That's why she keeps calling you up. I'll give her a New Jersey design.
Starting point is 00:54:07 We'll call it even. But look at all these, dude. Oh, my gosh. So, Hey, hold on. What's that selfie that you just sent right there? No, it's actually a mic. What's your shirt off?
Starting point is 00:54:16 It's not, I swear. I want to preface that all the Chinese suppliers that we find ourselves going back and forth with the ones, I don't know, who knows? Maybe they just use translate. Some of them, I'm sure, speak English. they are very forward and they're like like let's be friends yeah like let's um add me on WhatsApp but they also like it's not like talking to a real person which is weird and this lady in particular to Ryan hits them up all the time and adds emotion to it for whatever reason
Starting point is 00:54:47 when there shouldn't be emotion in in any garment overseas deals or anything like that like the lady who does our flags cherry man straight business Yeah, I bet a lot of people fall in love with Alibaba sellers. You think? I can bet, dude. Really? Yeah, it's like a mail order, but I can't work with them. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:09 I've never even fallen in like with them. Although my boss at Corwin, the car dealership I used to work at, he worked in a different department, but he found a lady. She was a massage artist, artist. And they fell in love and got married. but he was always he was telling me shit he was always sending her money always sending money back home and i was like dude and did she ever come you are getting scammed yeah they got married america they got married oh oh geez if he'd listen to me dude they would have never been married
Starting point is 00:55:41 because i was like you are getting scammed for sure speaking of getting scammed mike whatever happened with your serons dude i want i want those to get here well here if this explains how it's going i was on the worldwide web yesterday and i was looking at the new Tularia, which is like the other Sauron. And I'm like, man, the new ones look sick. I should buy 12 of them. No. No, no, absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:56:08 I was looking on the legit site and I go, man, I should probably just buy one legitimately for the regular price that they are and it will probably show up. Most likely. So, yeah, to answer your question, like, I mean, no, they kept reaching back out. They're like, yo, you need to pay the customs charge. And then I was like, I don't want to pay that much money for bikes that I didn't order, you know? So did you ask, like, get your money back or anything like that? Yeah, and they were then, then that's when they get quiet.
Starting point is 00:56:37 I'm like, I would love to cancel this and get a refund and you can ship it back. Ship the 11 bikes back. So essentially, yeah, I was like, please, I paid for the one, clear the one, ship it here. I even, I said this. I didn't plan on it. I was like, I'll even pay more for you to somehow split that up. I just want to pay to ship this bike here because that bike is already owned by me.
Starting point is 00:57:00 If for some reason the other 10 bikes did get cleared for free, I still technically have to pay for them. I mean, I know once they're in possession, like, who knows? I'm not trying to be scummy. I'm not trying to scam anyone. If I had 11 bikes here, I would feel comfortable paying for them because I could just resell them. But, yeah, I just chalked that up as an L,
Starting point is 00:57:21 which I kind of did the first time I brought it up. How much money? I like three grand total Oh man that sucks So I think that is Yeah so the new tell areas It came out 4,500 And that oh cool
Starting point is 00:57:31 Well if I buy that I'm 8500 into my e-bike essentially All because I wanted to Got a 450 Save Yeah yeah all because I wanted to It is a bummer because I really thought That you were just
Starting point is 00:57:44 One day It was just going to show up in a box I had a little bit of faith I think I would have rather Have just been scammed Honestly I would have rather Oh you were scammed Well, yes.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Well, yeah, I guess. So then you got what you wanted. You gave them the money and you got ripped off. You didn't get the bike. I would. It's like, I would have rather. What exactly do you think happens? I would have rather to have been like, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:58:07 You shipped the bike. And then they're like, yeah, we did. And then they didn't do anything. But that's exactly what they did. You're, I see what you're saying. You're torn up. You're like, do I give them the money and maybe get it? Or am I.
Starting point is 00:58:19 No, yeah, yeah. There's that. I'm saying. So who's scamming you? Essentially, the ship. shipping company, not the... Did they send it, though? Send what?
Starting point is 00:58:28 No. You still think that they actually sent the seron and to get the one seron you have to pay for the other 11, but I don't think they sent anything. Oh, then that's weird. The tracking information that you got that they sent, Ken looked up and it was like, what, a bag that was shipped air or something like that?
Starting point is 00:58:52 Like, it wasn't at. I don't think they sent anything. And that's what weird is then, well, yeah, maybe they're completely working in collaboration with each other. I'm just saying, I wish, like, where did this whole we shipped 11 bikes come from? Like, I'm like, 11? Why is there 11? And then the shipping company's like, well, that's how many, Mike, you get paid.
Starting point is 00:59:11 That's how many you ordered. So you got to clear the shipment. All of it's aft because then why would they ask me to pay? Yeah, I mean, like, it's obviously a scam. I feel dumb. But why would they ask me to pay to clear one? bike and then they were like cool thanks for payment you want to pay to clear the other 10 and then that's when I was like what yeah yeah but yeah I wish I wish it just would have been like
Starting point is 00:59:37 yep we shipped it cool and then they just like never spoke to me again I it's so much easier to chalk up as an L it's tough because we order a bunch of stuff from China yeah and Alibaba that's where it came from my false my false trust was absolutely from ordering some custom stuff we've done overseas and we've had good luck. We send wires across the world to China and we get product,
Starting point is 01:00:04 but not this time. Not this time. Pretty good ratio. Yeah. Still waiting on the underwear that Ken ordered a bunch of years ago. Oh, yeah. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Hey, are you going to get our money back from those? I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding. Never sent a full wire. I just got sent for a sample. No. No, you said half of the sample or half of the wire. That was like 500 bucks, but I think it was $750.
Starting point is 01:00:31 It's not always legit. I think that is sometimes where maybe we have the, I wouldn't even say it like this, but maybe we have an upper hand taking the risk to do that stuff. I really do love Alibaba and what you can go on there and get anything you want made. And if you do have the money for it, anything that you want, I mean like cups and socks and fake cats. and desks and wheels and exhaust and anything that you want made,
Starting point is 01:00:57 you can get made there. And, you know, there's some minimum order quantity. But you got to take the risk because not all of it's legit. Yeah, I think that's how, like, most people drop ship. Like, everything you buy off of Amazon, that some kid is sitting in their basement drop shipping comes from Alibaba. But at least it's really important to establish a relationship because once you have some product in hand,
Starting point is 01:01:22 you one know that they'll give you something for the money that you give them and two know that it's good then you're kind of locked in then you can kind of like and then you start getting weird text late at night like Ryan that's true I would say with the jersey lady we are locked in we can send her a a design and she's kind of like going to work the next day I'm still a little confused on the shirtless picture but how to get our jerseys extra fast we have a surprise merch drop that's in two days could we get jerseys for it Ryan's like If I send her a dick picture I'm just kidding
Starting point is 01:01:55 I'm just kidding I did not I will hand deliver As long as Ryan is there I didn't say any dick picks any Chinese ladies Wait can you play a video To end this out Before we wrap
Starting point is 01:02:10 This is how I would explain This isn't Theo Vaughan He just does impressions This is how I would explain to someone What it's like listening to Theo Vaughn Without actually like knowing who he is Pull up a pregnant woman doing a damn backflip, dude.
