The clip of Evan falling through the ice was on Fox News.
Evan has the best thing.
I have been in court, though.
Were you facing some serious time?
No, but I was facing some serious fines.
So is there like town curfews?
Dude, you're like living in footloose.
He was like, I told Ken I wouldn't have it until the end of the day or like something like that.
I have to go over there and pick him out.
But Ken's on the line.
Like, no, just go.
Oh, no.
It's these.
It's these.
You have to go to meet these.
Ken's on the security camera, like, looking.
He's like, oh, is he really on their security cameras still?
I was like, dude, I'm going to just come back once they figure this out.
I don't want to get in between you and your employees.
This family drama.
So we don't have to watch.
No, we don't.
I left without the washing machines.
Yeah.
We're going to be putting a brick inside of washing machine.
It's been done, but not by us.
So we need to test it.
We got a couple because I can't imagine it's going to last very long.
Dude, I kind of feel like my.
my index finger is missing with can't being gone today i know an important part of me's missing
who's going to search up when we have a question yeah he's been out for two days and that's what did
it for me is like okay he's gone you got to accept he's sick we'll let him be uh but two days without him
sucks i feel like we're really slowing down yeah i think he has covid really i shouldn't say that
i think i think that's okay you still not say that yeah maybe we can what was up with that what
What a weird time that there was like, I think he does have COVID.
There was a worldwide pandemic and then you couldn't talk about it.
Yeah, that was very straight.
You couldn't say it.
You couldn't say the word.
It was like saying the F word.
The word was like effing up all algorithms.
Yeah, it would put the little thing like on Spotify.
You would get the little thing like a misinformation tab, even if you just said what you just said.
I don't even know if we want to have the algorithm part in here.
I don't know.
I just worry.
but uh yeah kenserman's on his deathbed
and he got you know sick after his big extravagant
vacation we still don't know we were kind of dancing around it
when he was on the podcast but when ken was in Hawaii
I guess we can say this guy here we don't know what the fuck I know
we should have tint on here to like clear it up but anyways kind of a funny story here
we got like new windows put all around Mike's mine and Ken's house
and then they were doing the last
the last piece
which was like a big sliding glass door
in the middle
well I went and got blinds
for all the new windows
because you had to get new blinds
they wouldn't fit on the
it's not the same measurement as the old ones
but Ken didn't want the blinds
I was getting
because they weren't good enough for him
because he couldn't make him go up and down
from his iPhone
he's a specific man
so he has no blinds
so this dude's like all sick bedridden
and he's like right here
He's got, like, these, like, big three windows.
And then these guys are just all walking right around it,
knocking up brick.
The patio doors right next to his room.
Yes.
And they're just looking at him.
And he's just, like,
and he doesn't have blinds.
No blinds at all.
Like, it's so awkward because back when he did have blinds,
but he'd, like, put him up in the morning and he'd lounge in his bed,
I'll go down and, like, take a hot tub.
We'll just lock eye contact that he's.
other as I'm hopping in the hot tub like half naked and then he just press the button and go
you start going down but he couldn't do that this time so I kind of felt bad for him
and regardless even if he had the shades it's not relaxing at all to have construction work going
knocking out brick walls using god-day dynamite yeah that's extremely unfortunate I would like
to know what the workers are thinking too they got to just be
like, man, these guys are just so fucking weird.
It's like, what is this full-grown man doing, just laying in bed right now?
That's what I'm picturing.
Poor guy.
And you know, Ken ain't sleeping.
He's just growing all the time.
Like, I'm sure both of them were trying not to look at each other.
Like, they probably looked in one time.
Some were like, oh, whoa, wait.
Don't look to the, don't look in there.
And he was kind of like, oh, he's probably doing some abuse on that toilet.
Dude, this.
he's got to go out he's got to go out to his bathroom that sucks like i can't imagine being sick
and then not having your house to yourself no yeah that that that that does suck my house was under
renovation for like four months i knew what time they were like coming every morning and sometimes
i would just like not be up and at them by the time that they would get there or they would get
there early and so like people are like out working in my house and I
My lazy ass, like, wanders out at, like, nine, and I'm, like, trying to, like, creep out.
They've been there since seven, and I'm like, hey.
And they're like, oh, sorry, I didn't know that you were in there sleeping.
And I'm like, yep, still live here.
I'm not up and at him at 6.30 every day.
So just go about your business and ignore me.
And I went through that for about three months.
No, it would have been funny.
Yeah, for a while.
if like when you were like you know waking up or still kind of in your room getting ready you just
they think you're not there they're just talking shit yeah no that's the thing like they get there
i'll like wake up and the first couple times it would rattle me because i think that my house is
getting broken into and then i recognize their voice and then and then i just hear them
going through their entire weekend and like it's uh it's Ryan's dad's crew who built this shop
or it's building our new farm and like we've got to know them pretty good step and dan love those
guys is it's really funny to just be like a cricket on the wall and like listen to their
conversation a cricket on the wall we're pretty either way i mean i'm sure crickets
it'd be pretty like it'd be fun to be like a ladybug on the wall a cricket on the wall though
you know we are pretty tight with step and dan though like like i mean they've built the room
that we are having this podcast in.
Micah named his Bronco after Steve.
So I can relate to what you're saying.
Yeah, because I'm doing that right now.
Oh, yeah.
How's that going?
They show up at eight,
not crazy early, but at eight.
So I try to be up when they're there.
Dude, they just razz me up.
Really?
They're like, oh, you up early?
Every time.
Look at it.
How's this guy up right?
And then, yeah, just a few other just jabs here there.
You can't get away from it, can you?
No.
But, yeah.
Even the construction workers in this guy's house.
It's like Mike goes to the dentist one morning.
It's like 8.30.
They like, go, wow, we all didn't think you were going to make it.
You like don't even know him.
The dentist is like, damn it, Sharon, gives her 20 bucks.
You won.
Yeah, I'm fine with it as long as they don't jab it like too many times.
Too deep.
No, or maybe too deep.
But that's what really annoys me if like you got like a guy at the bar who's like,
talking to the bartender and he's trying to get his tab for free
or put it on the other guy and it's funny for a little bit and then if he keeps doing that
it's like the same thing yeah it's the same joke overrinsed a joke well there's people that just
have no touch yeah yeah that's what i'm getting that's just a lack of lack of touch but it's also
what they know you by they're like micah all right i'm gonna break the ice with him being sleepy
dude i mean to be fair these guys these guys have been in our life for like six years we've had
them coming around working on stuff for a while now.
You don't know how many times they have probably seen your ass roll out at like noon, 1130.
At this point, it's probably been like 30 days worth over the time.
Oh, probably more than that.
So it's like sometimes they don't see me and then sometimes they're just like morning,
they're on lunch break.
I wonder about that though because like, you know, it's got to be somewhat common for like people
that come and work at your house or, you know, our buddy Mark who did like hot tub maintenance,
you know, you would say, yeah, I go to people's house all the time and like they're there and it's
just like you're working on their stuff while they're there. It's kind of awkward because they're
watching you and you're trying to like, kind of skirt around them. Yeah, you're trying to do it fast,
but like right, you're worried because they're watching you. I kind of forgot how many jobs were
like that where you go into people's houses because Evan was just saying that. He's like, I love when
they start early when they're down for us to be in their house by seven. I always love that.
and hated it when they wanted us to be in by nine, blah, blah, blah.
Evan was in people's houses removing asbestos.
Yeah, he said it was pretty rare, but sometimes they do residential jobs,
and they'd, like, close off, you know, the one room they're working in.
Oh, it makes sense.
But, like, he's like, we'd show up at seven in the morning,
and there's, like, three kids at the dinner table eating cereal,
packing their backpacks.
He's like, it was just weird.
Yeah.
Evan's coworkers are on their six cigarette already.
Heaven's drinking two teas already.
I remember that landscaping we used to hate working at people's houses that were there
because you had, we called them the owner's home playlists, which were much more clean,
typically more country, you know, acceptable.
And then you had when they're gone, you can play the like Kanye and stuff like that.
It was a little more aggressive.
That would be funny if like next time Mark's working at someone's house, we like get the inside scoop
and like tell the homeowner like, hey, just like get some binoculars out.
just like they're just like stand straight and just you just watch what if there's a look
start taking picture the video the whole time yeah did you guys see the uh south park made a whole thing
about well prime but creed yeah they had to change it i obviously not to get sued but yeah i thought
it was pretty good but the play on words was so funny yeah no if he doesn't have cred none of us have
yeah it's just great i thought it was awesome i think logan paul was pretty pumped on it too which as he should
be because like if south parks making fun of you that means you you've you've really made it yeah
if you're broken into like mainstream the mainstream mass majority where you don't even have to
explain a joke and it hits yeah like it's a rip off they made a whole episode yeah it's like a special
the the paul brothers have always been good at taking taking one on the chin well yeah but that
was like positive hate dude i'd be pumped if they made an episode making fun of us yeah dude it'd be
so easy we were so fucking pumped yeah like seriously matt and tray the creators of south
park like it'd be so easy just like do one episode making fun of us can you imagine and then they
just like really go in though and you watch it and they're like going deep we're like oh shit they went
too far or if you make it in the simpsons if there's a simpson's character of you that's like next
level. Dude, the clip of, I don't know if we've talked about this, but the clip of Evan falling through
the ice was on Fox News. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was mainstream. That was mainstream. Fox Business.
So random, too. Maybe it's like a segment that they have, but it was like just straight up a part of the
Fox News network of like them talking business. And they were like, brief break in the program to just
show a random clip of a guy riding a dirt by gone thin ice. They quoted us and stuff too, which was cool.
excited us. Put the clip in right here, boom.
So these YouTubers decided to do a little dirt biking on a frozen lake.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Don't you love dramatic injuries?
No.
Just a little groin pole. He's totally fine.
Tonight, Jesse Waters' prime time, Kobe Covington, Carrie Lake, Tommy Laren, Charlie Arnold.
After that went live, it was weird. Like, how many people saw that.
and we're like, oh my gosh, you guys were on Fox News, like so many people that, you know,
we don't really talk to every day, but are probably like massive Fox News fans.
They were like, oh, my God, either these guys have made it, maybe, of like some validation now
or like, had to be a crash.
God damn.
I know.
It could have been something all the good things.
I hate that, too.
Couldn't have been like the Hummer Pontoon, one of our prouder inventions or like the
come-and-swapped Ranger.
Yeah.
That'd be even better.
We were having this conversation the other day of, like, how many people, when they're
like explaining us to other people that don't really know what we're about?
And they're like, yeah, these guys are like, they do stunts and like all kinds of
crazy stuff, which I guess we do.
But a lot of it has more context and there's more to it than just a stunt.
But so many people just know us from like viral, viral clips like that.
Yeah.
And that's where, like, the stunt term gets attached to us.
I'd be curious to, like, hear, I guess, what you guys explain us as.
It's not like you're running around, like, talking about us, per se.
But someone asks you, like, oh, who do you watch on YouTube?
And, like, how do you explain what we do and who we are?
And be honest.
We won't care if you're just like.
You don't need a flatterness.
Like, but she'd be like, oh, yeah, there's some dudes.
But to Ben's point, we do get a lot of the locals being like, yeah, you guys are the guys who do crazy shit.
Yeah, I mean, the crazy shit makes sense, but like just straight stunts.
Or the dumb shit, sorry.
Yeah, I don't really like the dumb shit.
Yeah, you're right.
And it is a fine line because the crazy shit might not even involve like any stunt per se.
But the Hummer Pontoon, that's some crazy shit.
Mm-hmm.
They do crazy shit.
That's a compliment there.
That's up there.
But like, dumb is at the bottom.
Yeah.
Crazy is, uh, awesome shit is better, awesome.
That cool, like that's, you're working up the list.
But you get to like dumb.
stupid. I hear stupid. You guys always do the stupidest stuff. I'm just like, damn. Thanks,
man. Thanks. But I get it. It's hard to explain. Do we still get our stuff put on like chive and
like all those networks? I haven't seen it. I don't know. I hope we didn't get taken off because I
kind of liked having it. I don't think we got it taken off, but I don't know if we have any
updated stuff. Yeah, we love going. No, they just, they just go and take it. I did just see it in
Florida. Oh, so then we're good. It was funny because like the guy next to me at the bar. We were, we were just
like stopped in to eat and we just sat at the bar because easier to get faster service and like
there was a local guy sitting next to us it was like his spot because we sat in it and the bartender
was like hey can you guys move over oh wow and we're like yeah yeah of course so he sat down and
he was talking about the tv and then it was like three clips later we were on and i was like
what do you think about those guys it happened so fast though you can't like talk about like
you couldn't even bring it up if you wanted to flex it because then it's on to the next clip
I one time sat down, and it was just me and some other dude,
and, like, he was, like, avidly watching, like, a bunch of segments of us,
and I was sitting right next to him.
And I was waiting, like, I was like, is this dude going to, like, notice?
And then he didn't never notice.
That's what I do love when they, for some reason, they play, like, a minute or two.
When they do a segment, like, golfing is a segment where it's, like, a minute of golfing clips.
That's how you know it's entertaining when it doesn't need audio.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know.
That's like our best of it.
None of those bar TVs play audio most of the time.
Did you guys see that clip of the judge that, like, sentenced the guy?
Yes.
And then the guy just, like, retaliates and basically jumps over.
Yeah.
And it tackles the judge.
The judge used.
Did you guys see, like, the video beforehand?
No.
Like, explaining.
No.
Okay.
So, so basically the judge is like, you know, sir.
you have a history of assault, robbery, armed robbery, drug dealing, all these things, right?
You're going to jail.
You need some time in jail.
You clearly have not learned.
And it goes to this guy.
And this guy goes on this, like, speech about how he's a changed man and how he believes
that he should be free and how he's, like, learned from his mistakes.
And, you know, it was the first four or one times in jail.
He got it out of his system.
And he's a changed man.
Please, Your Honor.
He literally says that.
Something along the lines.
Yeah.
Something along the lines of that.
How he's the changed man.
And then the judge goes, no, I think you're going there.
And then he just switches.
So I was like, oh, man, this guy's clearly got some mental issues of, like, bipolar disorder.
Why'd she have to say it like that, though?
Like, sometimes he gets sassy with him.
Like, no wonder you got mad.
Maybe she's already dealt with them.
Being a smart ass like that.
Nope, you're going there.
Like, like, I've seen clips where they're like that.
Like, that's, like, pretty rude.
You're just like, damn, they don't give a fuck.
Like, you could at least be like, uh, unfortunately, I think you need to go.
I think for, like, people in that position is they probably deal with, like, the worst
or the worst people.
And they, they honestly probably just, like, you know, have less patience.
But you need to do if you get me a judge.
Yeah, probably don't deal with people.
They probably have more than most.
But, yeah.
I don't know, I just, I saw the clip initially, and I was like, oh my gosh, I wonder if that was like real.
This guy just straight up tackling the judge.
And then I saw like the, the beforehand video of him doing that.
I was like, this is way crazy.
He's doing that, man.
Now that I know, what about when he, go ahead.
Then the next day, he was back in court and they had him like tied up, chained up fucking mask over like a spit mask so he couldn't spit.
All the police around him.
You see that?
Yeah.
Did he get any licks in on that?
you know like lick like a punch they call him licks yeah i know i never saw you know an angle
funny you're talking about he's got the spitting mask on and then you go did he get any licks in
on the judge yeah he licked too because i just saw this i didn't know if this is good taste or not
but young gravy just posted a video like talking about this and he's like listen i don't blame
the man out of i'd run up and done the same thing like or like not attacked her but like because
he was calling the judge hot and i was like damn this
is a little controversial.
He's always just on something.
He's just always about the,
he's a fellow Minnesota boy.
He is.
Did you see the clip of the guy getting sentenced?
Now, after what that happened,
the judge just threw up the book at him,
obviously, as you can expect.
But I believe it was like 13 felonies from that.
From attacking the judge,
he gained 13 felonies.
How much more time do you get then?
I mean, I can't imagine felonies are a,
a light deal.
About the worst place to commit a crime in court in front of a judge.
On a judge.
On a judge.
So funny, you say Licks, one of them was with, it was like, uh, harming something,
harming a protected person with bodily fluid.
So he must have been spitting on him.
Oh, yeah.
But they were trying to like, I don't know if they did, but they were trying to give him
attempted murder, which is a little far, but yeah.
Yeah, he could have been trying.
He could have.
He never know.
But moral of the story is now that I know the context,
I thought he was just a psychopath to begin with
for what I didn't even know what he did.
That's just what they showed, him attacking the judge.
And then, yeah, clearly now his cards are all shown.
Yeah, dude, I bet GTA is watching that.
Like, oh, man, that would have been great for the trailer.
I only watched like two seconds of each of those clips.
Like, I saw him attack.
I kept scrolling because I don't like watching that shit.
And then I also saw the next thing where a few days later
and I just scrolled past.
I already got the gist of it.
Yeah, you knew it wasn't going to be good.
I've never seen that happen before.
I've seen it where, like, the family member of, like, someone who has killed will, like, come up from behind and attack, like, the murderer or whoever did something.
Yeah, man.
And I can't blame them.
I would imagine, I've actually, I've never sat in on, like, a court hearing or anything like that.
Have you guys ever been asked to be in a jury?
No, thank God.
I was in a jury one time for when my classmate got adopted.
We got to say yes.
Really?
Interesting.
I have been in court, though.
You just, he was on the other side.
I was on the other side.
No, not actually for that, for college things.
Oh.
They were just misdemeanors.
That's right.
Parts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember that.
I was scary, dude.
I did not like that.
Not a good place.
Were you facing some serious time?
No, but I was facing some serious fines.
And he was a notoriously stern.
judge on party citations and I had gotten that was my second so then what I think it was like a
thousand bucks yeah but I end community service oh wow so it was pretty it was tough we're
you do the community service salvation army so what'd you have to do uh I serve food which I didn't
mind the serving it was the like they made me cook and I have no idea how to cook so like that's
it felt pretty stressful that's just bad for everybody I know exactly it was good for nobody but
But anyway, I was there.
I did my 60 hours.
You paid my $1,000 and fines.
Yeah, it was pretty substantial.
Were your parents aware that you served community service and, you know, you were in front of a judge?
I think they knew.
If they didn't know, they will be calling me on Tuesday when this comes out.
I was just curious what their thoughts were on it at the time.
I'm sure they will not be proud.
I was young then.
But you crushed the community service.
The best part of the story is going on.
When you hit it out of the park.
Ryan and Brad.
One of his roommates hit me up and they're like, can you make this into a shirt?
And it was a red shirt with like a picture of the apartment, blah, blah, blah, with Make the Bar Great Again, which is the name of the apartment.
That's how we paid for the fine.
Because it was $1,000, dude, I was in college.
I didn't have any money.
Got my money back.
That's pretty sweet.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
It was nice.
You guys printed the shirts.
Yeah, we printed those.
Yeah.
Did you guys have community or ever have to do community service?
No.
I never had to do for class or anything like I did it for like church for like we went to the Salvation Army and like I don't even know I think we just like did stuff with cans or like helped like put stuff in where it needed to go yeah I want to say they like gave it to me way back when I got that ticket on my skateboard you got a ticket on your skateboard yeah yeah yeah yeah for what impeding traffic yeah yeah in Holly yeah in like a small what traffic right
Dude, Holly cops love to just give tickets, though, I swear.
Right down the highway or what?
No.
I mean, down like the quite opposite of a highway.
You were just on a street?
Wait, you were just riding a skateboard down the street and you got a ticket?
Literally next to the bowling alley, which is just, I mean, if you drove by, you go, how many people go here on the reg?
Like, seven?
No one drove by it.
And then I was skateboarding the street, doing like a coffin where you lay down on the board.
And then it was like, because the street was kind of had a hill on it.
then the cop rolled up and then was just like you didn't see that car that was trying to go by
when you're going down and I was like no I didn't and then gave you the ticket yeah what the fuck dude
man that's really are trying to get kids inside playing Xbox yeah dude it was like a whole learning
lesson because I was really like it was the most mad I've ever been at like someone for a while
I was just like dude what a dick like how much it cost I think it costed like a hundred bucks
yeah that's a lot of money and then he got he like took a job and louis
Louisiana and I was like let's go he's gone and then shortly after he died oh oh so then I was
like dang oh kind of bad I felt kind of bad for just being so mad at him first experience with a ticket
though on a skateboard not in the car that never told that no that's a pretty good story
yeah like I saved the ticket I still have it that's cool yeah and it's just like a pedestrian
ticket like how often you get one of those so that was before you had a driver's license yeah yeah
and all that 14 so did you even have a
like an ID to hand them or you just look up your name?
Okay.
Or not a permit.
No,
yeah,
yeah,
I had my permit,
yeah.
That's kind of scary,
though,
because when you have your permit,
dude,
you're on thin ice.
There's like,
you can't do anything.
You get like one speeding ticket
and they don't let you get your driver's license.
You're speeding your permit.
I know,
what are you doing?
I never thought it was real until it happened.
You know,
when you're at the gas station,
and it's like past 11 or whatever the curfew is.
And then when the cop shows up,
he was super nice.
It only happened once,
but he's like,
yeah,
16, so
gonna have to take you home.
Wait, Holly has a curfew?
Yeah.
What?
Yeah, or at least they did.
Were your parents mad when you got taken home?
I was above 16, so it was fine.
Oh, you just watched your buddy.
Yeah, and I'm like, dang, it was my, like, one of my best
friends, and he's just like, well, I guess
I'm just going to head back home, and it was all fine.
No one got in trouble, but...
But he had to bring him home. Yeah, you had to bring him home.
So is there, like, town curfews?
Or how's that work? Or is it, like, a county
curfew?
Dude, you're like living in footloose.
I think of you.
Yeah, dude.
And it like, that's what I mean.
It only happened once, but.
Were you causing a ruckus?
No.
Or were you just like, what were you doing?
Just bikes and boards up to the gas station.
Bro, I have a hard time believing that.
They were just coming from the spot heading a graffiti bridge.
They had ski masks on too.
I mean, no, we were truly just riding around.
Yeah, I mean, being children.
There is a curfew.
Like, in Fargo, I know there is a curfew.
I don't know exactly what the time is, but I think it's more so, like,
you're just out loungering around like walking the streets then and you're a kid then it's like
okay what are you up to there's probably it's like a way to enforce a problem like if you see a kid
that's like fucking around you're like all right you got to go home but like that seems pretty whack
well whack there's a lot of whack laws well didn't they have a curfew when COVID was a thing
if you were out past a certain time then you were more likely to get COVID or so no i think they
They were just, it was weird, man.
They were, like, shutting down everything.
Like, all the restaurants had to close early.
That's right.
It wasn't, they didn't even have to close.
It's just they had to close early.
They couldn't be open late.
Isn't it weird how that whole time's just a blur now?
Yeah, I mean, like, I don't even really remember much.
Like, it kind of just blew over in my mind.
But it was like, what, a year or two?
Yeah.
It was like two years.
Like, we couldn't even go out to eat at, like, eat sitting there.
You had to order it to go.
When we were around here, everything wasn't that changed, but it was just like more sucky.
Yeah, it's really funny to hear certain people talk about it, how, like, it changed my, you know,
existence.
Everything I was doing, I had to completely stop and stay at home.
And I think back to it happening for us.
And we were just like, well, nothing's really changing around here for us.
I do remember, like, it depends where you lived.
Yeah.
What'd you do?
Other than that.
Like all my buddies got school off.
They all got work off and we're just like grinding because it was just right as we were
really starting to gain like some traction we're like right can't turn back right now we would
like capitalize on it way more oh yeah um but i don't think it really made any kind of
difference for like views wise or i think if anything it helped yeah no it helped for sure but like
i know some creators that were like you know popping at the time really blew up because everyone
was at home watching watching and i don't remember it like making that much of an impact or
or like affecting our channel that much.
Yeah, there's like a lot of horror stories of people like having,
let's call it a glamorous life before COVID and then now they do not,
which is unfortunate.
But then there's also like Connor Price.
He was doing pretty good before that.
But then he, during COVID was like,
I decided to make music.
And now he's just getting massive.
So true.
Yeah.
I feel like we talk to people all the time,
especially that have like businesses.
That was such a defining moment.
Hivet.
Of like pivot.
Yeah.
Of like, yeah.
So I was doing.
this and then go of it happened and i had to switch something up and it's like oh my gosh man
you've only been doing this for four years i've you could have said like 15 and i wouldn't
you know know the difference but yeah that was that was a strange time you're kind of
scared me over there with that like you were literally holding this like this i was i like if i couldn't
even make a joke of you it's like what do you bet's a pocket knife kind of guy i know he just started
he got his second day carrying it felt so good dude i pulled this thing out i was like trying to open
a bucket the other day.
CJ watched it first hand.
I need a knife.
Usually I'd have to go inside and, you know, find a box cutter or something.
And I was like, oh my gosh, I have a pocket knife.
I'm strapped.
I'm strapped right now.
And I pulled it out.
I flipped it open.
I cut it, put it back in.
It's handy.
Dude, Ben walks into my office.
Quite literally right before we film this and just goes, he like flips it open,
says Ben on it.
Pocket knives.
We need to do them.
We need to make them.
I did.
And then I'm like, all right.
As long as it's legal to sell knives, and then we both go, I think it is.
This is a nice knife.
Yeah, it is.
It's got good weight to it.
It feels good.
There's something to be sad about carrying your own knife.
I mean, think of all the times.
All we really do is, like, cut tape here, but.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't have a lot of reasons.
I do have a knife similar to this that sits in my center council, my truck that I'll use
if I need to, like.
Just in case.
Not necessarily just in case.
Oh, yeah, but like just in case you need one.
Yeah.
I'll use it to, like, open stuff.
We clarified nothing with that.
It's in case.
You need it, you know.
I feel like the next level up on that of preparedness.
You see the guys that have the pliers sheath,
like the little leather pliers thing.
And it's just weathered.
Yeah, it looks like it's been through a lot.
But man, when you need a pliers, there was a guy at the lawnmower meat.
We needed a pliers and he's like, I got one.
Oh, my God.
He's been waiting for that moment.
He was like, that's what I'm talking about.
You know he went home that night and was finally like, yeah.
I used it.
I knew this thing would come in handy.
But that's what I mean.
Some of the guys look like they just whip them out on the, you know, on the hour.
A lot of guys, like if you're a farmer, dude, like my, my uncles and my grandpa, like, they
fricking use those things all the time.
You got to love that.
Yeah, I mean.
I mean, yeah, it was like, just.
Whenever dads or grandpa is when someone goes, anybody got a knife or something of the sort.
And they're just like, dude, yes.
That thing is.
You want to be unprepared.
It's already like, you want me to open it or you?
Here it is.
Well, how about the, the, uh, leathermans that have, like, the players on it and then the screwdriver.
You mean Swiss.
Swiss, though.
Yeah, you had the fucking, yeah, but either one.
Leatherman is like a nice version of it.
I remember the Swiss.
The fork and the spoon.
Swiss with that had like the toothpick.
That was my favorite part.
You take it out like, it reminds me of the new keys, like how they don't actually have a key, but you can press the button.
You take it out into a toothpick.
No way.
Metal?
Yeah.
No.
Strong plastic.
It was plastic.
Oh, plastic, okay.
So funny.
I thought it was like wood and it was like reloadable, you know, like you always got one.
I honestly have a pretty good pocket knife collection.
Really?
I could bring it.
I think it is it just like a generalized thing?
Because like I have quite a few knives and my dad and grandpa kind of did that to me.
Yeah, I got them all from like my grandpa and my uncles.
They would always give them me as I was a kid like at Christmas birthdays, you'd always get one.
Get a little knife.
And like some of them are pretty pretty freaking cool.
and other ones are just, you know, like, standard nice
that have really never been used.
And I never, like, really understood it.
They'd be like, okay, so these ones are from Europe,
so they're going to be good, okay?
And these ones aren't, so they're not going to be good.
Yeah, I just remember I'm saying, like, where they're from.
And, like, sometimes it'd maybe, like, be engraved, like, on the thing.
I had this thing on me because it's got a window breaker right on the end here.
And I was just asked to be in my sister's wedding by her fiancé,
and that's why my name is on it.
Cute.
I didn't just order him.
What with your name?
I wasn't sure if you put the little tucks on there because you always dress up so nice.
Yeah.
Because you're so professional.
This is my wedding night.
It's all so fancy.
But no, I had this on me because we took my Lambo on the ice yesterday.
I guess the video is already live.
So last week's video, you would have seen it by now.
I figured I should have this in case things went really south.
And it went through the ice and I had to break a window.
I was like, this is a worst case, Ontario.
Yeah, I guess if I needed to, I could do it.
Did you have your seatbelt on when you were doing that?
Yeah.
Really?
I feel like the risk level.
You can't buckle so fast.
Yeah, you can.
It's not like a five-point harness, but still.
So I was like...
I suppose you just didn't want to listen to that annoying chime.
That too was most importantly.
No, it was super annoying.
I just saw video of a guy, like, it was a very small compact, like low trim car,
drives it into the water at a high speed in the water.
He like waits and lets it sit down.
He's waiting and waiting and waiting.
He's like, I just want to show you guys, like how much time you have.
He's like, okay, it's getting up to the windows.
And even that was like a minute and a half.
And he was in there until he had his window breaker,
but he was in there until the crawled to the back and then water up to his mouth.
And then broke it and then swam out.
He's like, if you wait to a certain point and you break the window,
then all the water goes in on you.
Then it's hard to get out.
Makes sense.
But like, he waited in there so long.
But if you didn't have the window breaker,
like kicking that window out in the water is.
Yeah, I watched that video.
That guy kind of almost, like, was getting off on, like, hanging in there to the last minute.
And I'm still in here.
Yeah, the guys on the outside are like, like, he's good.
I feel like that was such a thing on Discovery Channel.
Like, I feel like I've watched a thousand dudes get out of a car as it's sinking in the water.
That was like the thing in, like, early mid-2000s TV.
They were like, we're going to put a car in the water.
They probably for surely did that on MythBusters.
Yeah.
We did get Randy New Face.
Yeah.
I got a good comments on my.
Snapchat said he's got a good head on his shoulders that's true yeah he does Randy's a
man he's a man he's a stunt man he's a stunt man he's a good head on his shoulders the only guy
that's actually a stunt man around here is Randy dude reckless Randy no but he's like a lot of
things like he helped me move my couch into the basement oh really that's that was nice of that's true
he fell down the stairs was like no big deal he's a lover yeah yeah he is he is a lover some of us yeah more
than others. Some people have
taken a like into each other.
Special bond. Yes, a special bond. Some people are better friends
with him than others, we'll just
say. Personal connection. Reckless Randy is kind of like our version of like
Alf on a shelf. He's like moves around. He's like doing things at the night
when we're gone. Yeah, he's doing certain things. But you don't
fuck with him. Like you just let him be. The nice thing about Randy is he's so
freaking inconvenient to move. It's like you must really want to move him if you
I was just going to say that.
Like, I just out it now because the odds of me be able to move him much.
Yeah, like, I was like, I'm going to do that.
That's so funny.
And hopefully someone just goes, is someone doing Elf on the shelf with Randy?
But there's no way I could do anything with him.
You just shuffle him around basically.
Yeah, he's a full-size human, dude.
He weighs 170 pounds.
It's dead weight, too.
The video was 170 pounds of dead weight.
I don't know what it is about it, but lifting him.
It's tough because his arm starts moving.
Yeah, and then you're like, which is very awkward.
The only person I have seen, you know, move Randy around efficiently is, you know, the large one, Ken.
Oh, yeah.
That's true.
He was moving around a lot.
The way he was able to get him into the bed of the mule, you know, without any, like, neck injuries or anything.
It's pretty good at that.
Moving Randy around.
Yeah, he did move him around a lot.
All right.
Next thing, that's enough.
Dude, so I was watching
Wiz Khalifa Snapchat story the other day.
I was watching it, too.
Yeah, he must be like, you know, getting pumped to us.
Yeah, he must be trending.
He intrigued me a lot because he's in the studio
and he's like bringing you guys along on one of my studio sessions.
And then he wraps the song backwards or like his verses.
I heard about this somewhere.
So he like listens to the beat, the section of the beat he'll be putting that verse on.
It's the verse.
And then he listens to, you know, for measures back,
listen to that tells him to keep playing over oh so he writes the song in reverse no he writes
the song normally like he comes up with the rhyme and then he he rhymes it with something that he
already said yeah yeah it makes it like kind of crazier sounding as far as like what he's saying
but also like how do you make him correlate i thought you were saying that like if he was
rapping my lambo is black he was like rapping like black is my lambo lambo like
everything was in reverse.
I was like, what?
Sounded like Yoda.
No, just the verses.
Just the verses.
And then he would play like his, you know, six, seven verses that he laid down.
And it sounded so good, a.
A.K. like a normal whiz song, but.
Maybe you got to start rapping, Mike.
Yeah.
Pick it up as a hobby.
I just don't have time.
Like a whole studio setup.
That'd be the next thing.
Mike, you should buy a studio set up.
Do you solve that drum set?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Where is that?
Where do you think?
downstairs in your house downstairs in jake's mom's house oh i was not going to say that
so you can play it when you pop over there yeah you should just show up there one day like two in the
morning i just here to play my drums the most inconvenient thing to have at your friend's mom
house like if your x if your xbox was there she like wouldn't complain but if you came
over there and was like playing drums a drum set dude she had who been so bummed when mike was
moving that. She was
because she's like, you can put that right
next to Jay's drum set.
That's a good gift to like give
one of your friends kids.
Yeah. Like your friends got like
a 10 year old kid. You're like you know it'll be
funny. Let's get him a full drum set
for his birthday and don't tell the parent
you know, your buddies and just show up
hey look I got you a drum set.
They're all pumped and then they can't get rid of it and they're
banging on drums all day.
I like that a lot. Ben was a drummer.
He was actually a good drummer.
unlike
uh me i couldn't play the drums i was a bad drummer a good drummer a bad drummer
if you ain't trying to listen to the drums it's still super annoying
you have like these electronic ones though you could plug like a headset in couldn't you
oh yeah that's nice yep do you guys still have those um or do your dad's saying get rid of them
my dad they're sitting for 13 seconds somebody touching them and my dad threw them away
Anyone going to play these?
You're getting a glass of water?
Yeah, no one's downstairs at the time.
That really hit close home for bed.
So I take it.
Yeah, he made.
You had to lock everything down.
Or have a really good reason to keep it, like a really good one.
Criminally good reason to keep it.
Otherwise, it was gone.
It was gone.
Bro.
Going over to my parents' house now or like going into my dad's garage.
You just assume nothing's going to be in there?
No, and there's just nothing in there.
And I'm like, damn, I love what you've done with them.
You got to give a little backstory.
Yeah, I was going to say.
He's like,
a little backstory, Ben's dad, if it's not tied down,
we'll throw it away.
Because he just is about necessities.
And it's a good thing.
He doesn't like clutter.
No, he doesn't like clutter.
Clutter, clutter is the mind.
Yeah.
He's like, no, there's, I have things in the garage,
three cars and a bike.
Like, that's it.
A screwdriver.
Maybe there's a broom leaning up against the wall.
We don't have any dust in here.
Get rid of this thing.
But it's transferred down to his son, Ben.
And Ben will just walk around and go, hey, what's the plan with this?
Ryan, what's your plan with this?
Well, I mean, you better have a good reason.
I think that what Ben does around here is valid.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
I back it up.
No, I do too because normally.
I just think it's valid until it's not valid.
Well, yeah, until it hits the one thing that you want.
And you're like, no, no, the one thing that happened to actually only have been sitting there for a weekend.
I can't remember how many times I heard.
What's your plan with this when my standup desky is sitting on a mattress for six months in the middle of the garage?
Again, a valid question.
Definitely got some of that.
But also, I know what it's like.
So I also cringe every time you guys, you know, try to manage it.
Make some kind of reference to me being like my dad.
I'm like, oh.
It's a good thing.
But it's like one of those things too.
Yeah.
You just don't want to be too much.
It's a feeling a lot of people have.
It's not like you hate the feeling.
You're just like,
well,
cringing on the cringy parts.
I cringe because like I make jokes about it to my mom
or like my siblings.
Yeah.
About my dad.
And then somebody makes that joke about you.
You're like unintentionally.
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I guess not.
And I just snap.
It's clodder.
Clotter your mind.
And I'm like,
I am not a chip off the old block
Okay, man
All right
What do you got here?
What the heck is that?
What do you got here?
All right, well, I've wanted to do a podcast
With our boy Evan for a long time
But he's always gone
He goes home on the weekends
And has been a lot lately
So I got him something
Got him a new pair of red shoes, right?
Because Evan loves wearing just all red shoes
But being the crazy
crazy stuntman he is
gosh
oh those
go so hard
dude they're called
epic grind shoes
oh my gosh
so the bottom of him has like a
it feels metal like a metal thing
that you can run up to the rail
let's surprise him with those
for a video bit
I'm down this when he comes home
that'd be a good good surprise
I
he's a little
When our little boy comes to home
He was a little gloom when he was leaving
So I mean
This is going to be super fun
So I obviously
Bought a pair myself
Oh,
Of course
We're going to the skate park
It's
I think you gotta hit the streets bro
It's winter right now
But I think we can find something
That's going to the ball
You're right
Going to the skate park's a little chito
We could do like
We could hit indoor spots
Dude can we play the video
of the guy
like showing like he was doing a
tutorial on how to do tricks
can you pull it up? I'm sorry but that
shit made me cringe he was like so
I'm gonna run up and he's like explaining
like the three things
I don't know and he did it in the coolest
way possible I don't think
but what the guy's style and his outfit
went kind of hard but also it was whack
these are sick bro let me see another one
you remember Healy's they had
uh time when they also had the
grinding this is in the same
yeah same genre um but yeah so
I remember the whole reason I ended up doing this was it was a video that I saw that was actually cool.
They like had a couple of shots.
They were doing it.
And I was like, whoa.
And then I go to the website.
Like, what are these things?
And I see the red ones.
I'm like,
heaven would look so good in these.
And this is to be too funny.
I like tried to grab a couple of other clips that they did for the podcast.
And I couldn't find any other cool one.
They're all right.
But it's like.
These guys got a better name, though.
Epic grind shoes.
That's straight to the point.
But you know that Epicgrind Shoes.com was taken because it's epic.
Dot dash grindshoes.
It's when you're like going to get a domain and you got to like mix it up.
When you're trying to make an Instagram handle but your name's been taken, you're like, okay.
All right.
So on the bottom of these, maybe I've just never read a warning sign.
By peeling off this sticker, you agree to waive the right to Sue PowerSlide, Sport Tech,
da yada, yada, and their owner's office.
officers, directors, employees, and or representatives for any injury, death, or property
damages.
Oh, my gosh.
Bro.
And no, dude, as soon as you take this sticker off and you're able to slide these bad boys,
so what if you...
Yeah.
That just shows, like, how sketchy these things.
Yeah.
How about, how about it when you guys do it, you got to dress like this guy.
Okay.
Bro, he looks like a rollerblader in, in the use.
year 2000 yeah right yeah totally god he is a total fruit boater just listen to that explanation
over to a ledge and get used to having our feet in that position ankles bent knees bent next try stalling
it you can also do a royale with your other foot if that's more comfortable for you once you
have that down move on to the rail test it to see how slick it is and practice a couple more stalls
remember to keep your weight centered on the rail so you don't slip out next let's try
Like his head set and everything.
Plant off your left foot.
Keep your ankles and knees bent and jog out.
Jog out on your knees.
Now let's go for the whole rail.
The key is to have your feet in royal position in the air,
so you lock into the grind immediately.
So we're going to stay loose.
Remember to keep your ankles and knees bent when you land on the rail.
Like, dude, honestly, Evan's going to be really freaking good at this.
Yeah, he will be.
I would be on the ground so fast.
Ryan, I feel like.
over skateboarding or rollerblading,
you'd be much better at this.
Because at least I can walk.
Yo, I just got the image of Ken trying to grind something on me.
Dude, how fast would he hit?
How fast would he taco his ass over that rail?
Ken would just do the, like, lean thing like this and just,
poor guy.
aren't these a remake of shoes that they were already a thing back in the day soap shoes
I'm actually super stoked that I just decided to rip them out and show you guys
because you laughed really hard and I was a little worried because we were all like
ha ha ha this will be funny whether no matter if it's super not cool and really funny or a little
both whatever but Evan's probably going to be like that's Cheeto bro yeah yeah yeah no
it's it's Cheeto I'm starting to figure the guy out a little bit better as to like what he
thinks are cheeto like today some cj asked him i already knew what the answer was i was just
trying to get i already knew what the answer was too but i was curious to see you know if he would say it or
if he would lie and um cj said what do you think of the the whips the light up whips on the back
of the razor it's like a total dune thing but we just left him on because the last time we drove the
razor was in the dunes and cj goes what do you think of just leaving the whips on and he goes
cheeto bro yeah it's interesting
Interesting where his loyalty lies, because in some things, the standard way of doing things is Cheeto.
Like, he's got to stray from the norm.
But if you stray too far from the norm, then it's Cheeto.
He's got, you got to be right in the pocket.
And Cheeto means, like, lame or, like, stupid.
Or not it.
You got to be core, man.
That's what he is.
It's all about being core, you know, like rocking the D.C.s and the Etneys still to this day.
Don't beat Cito.
Which I'm getting on.
I'm getting, like, I'm picking up Evan's shoe game.
I'm, I'm going to order some, like, some D.C.'s and some matinees,
like the fucking block shoes, like I used to wear in 2006.
Yeah, pop up a pick right now.
So when you're trying to...
I think everyone's got a pick.
You probably could pop up a bunch of, like, the club squad.
If you're trying to, you know, do something, you don't want to be Cheeto, you want to be Dorito.
Is that better?
Is that what he says, like, oh, that's Dorito.
If you said that, you have to say it, dude, Evan would he would have to watch.
to Alex walk out of the room or like hide from that no because she was like oh my god that was awful
if you said that in front of evan he would just go silent and go just go so cheeto bro
that was the most fucking cheeto thing he said bro god he should have been here right now man i think
if uh the people at home could do anything you should uh send evan cheeto things like
cheeto oh yeah branded merchandise he would love it he'd hang it up on his room yeah he does
i got him cheeto underwear i saw a cheeto eye palette like makeup i thought about buying it
But then I was like, it was like $12.
And I'm like, he's going to look at this and go, huh?
And then.
Who the fuck would wear Cheeto?
I don't know.
They were all very colorful.
Like eye palette is probably just orange.
It's probably not actual Cheeto dust.
Which would be sweet.
Still, who's going to use orange?
I know.
But it's different than like the, it's different than the, I got him the Flaming Hot Cheetos.
What do I know about makeup?
Nothing much, guys.
But what if I bought him that...
I bought him the Flaming Hot shampoo,
which actually does have Cheeto in it.
Really?
Wow.
Wow, that can't be good for your hair.
That cannot be.
But it's also a shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste.
It tastes like Cheetos, bro.
It's the 7 and 1.
And then a steak sauce, yeah.
Now, that would actually legitimately be Cheeto.
There's a, there's a, there's a, been a bunch of people that just, like, copy our, our videos or bits and, and, uh, we'll send them to Evan.
Or if it's, like, something that Evan does on the channel and it's people ripping it off.
And he really doesn't like that.
He really gets fired up.
So just, like, as a joke, we all just, like, send these videos to Evan.
And he's just always like, dude, so fucking Cheeto, bro.
He's going to send.
those guys of a box of Cheetos.
Yeah. Anyway, it's funny.
I love that term, though, Cheetos.
I think it's perfect. Like, that's such a good term.
It is. Like, you can kind of assume, even if it's your first time hearing it, like,
probably not good, but it's not mean.
It's just self-explanatory enough.
He has so many legendary ones.
Have you been keeping track of them?
I would love to have it.
Damn, I wish he was here.
I know. I don't know. Do you have, like, a solid?
I mean, I have like 10.
Some of them are probably ones you have.
Yeah.
But yeah, we say Cheeto now and we're like, it's fully adopted from Evan and jammed up.
You're probably heard to say that before.
Jammed up when you're in trouble or you're in a predicament with, mostly with your girl.
Jammed up.
And then we got cripes.
That's not something Evan invented, but like Evan brought that to like.
He kind of brought that back.
I feel like my mom would say cripes back in the day or crimeany maybe.
I don't know.
Creepers, creepers.
No, Jiminy, Jiminy.
Yeah.
There go.
something like if he is like trying to turn something around and then like ended up
bumping over a log or something he'd be like ah jimmy jimmy and he always calls his pants
trousers i know i love classic and then his go-to is just like if he's got a shit he's just like
i got a shit i'm about to pile up my shorts pile it up my trousers yeah yeah and then my
personal favorite that he just made as soon as the dollar general popped up in cormon he's
like yeah running down to the dollar genital grab a couple frozen pizzas or the liquor barn
yeah the liquor barn so last night grab a crisper yeah he calls coolers crispers last night when
i was leaving now we do he says don't let your meatloaf yeah classic always i go see you guys
don't let your meatloaf and then what does that mean don't let your meatloaf it's just like a
funny isn't there's no meaning i think i have an idea what it means like you know i don't
let your meatloaf like like i should be getting laid that night that's that's
It's by my girl, obviously.
Right?
Like, yeah, I mean.
Don't let your meatloaf, like, it starts loafing, I'd assume.
It's loafing, like, laying around.
Maybe.
I mean, like, it's not being put to use.
It goes bad.
I think it's just a fun thing to say.
Yeah.
Well, that's kind of what I took it out.
So I went straight to business when I got home.
I was like, Evan told me not to let my meat loaf.
I'm not going to let them down.
Here it is.
No way?
I just typed in, don't let your meatloaf.
Loaf, here it is, Urban Dictionary.
A sexual expression, one guy says to another guy or a group of guys when he is leaving.
Referring to his junk.
The response by the other guy is usually something like, don't let your bag, Drake, or don't
let your carrot stick.
It's a saying.
No, no, it says a sexual expression.
One guy says to another guy, so it's true.
But I don't think it means what you just stated.
I think it's just referring to his junk.
So just don't let your meatloaf.
Maybe it means like, I don't know.
maybe it means just like keep it clean
that's interesting though can you imagine like
Evan one day reading that on urban dictionary and then that's why he says it
he's like yeah it's just something you say no the reason he says
everything is is just like the environment that he grew up
his geography is just so Northwoods
here it is right here he answered the question
it is a vulgar saying suggesting you have more sex
wow don't let your meal off I was right
You were right.
That's all I got to say.
No, I think that's literally it.
You were right.
We got more.
We had to double check with the source himself, though, Evan.
We got more.
When he's on this podcast.
Yeah, keep going.
And some of these are something he says like every single day and other ones he just said once that are super funny.
But we're hitting golf balls into the pond.
And he's just like, oh, geez.
You're going to have a turtle sucking on that ball.
I just died.
I was like, dude, where did that come from?
Every time he farts, he's like, oh, that one's drier than a popcorn fart.
And that actually is referring to anything that maybe should be wet, but is dry.
You're checking the oil on your bike.
There's no oil in it.
Drier than a popcorn fart.
Yeah.
He calls butts hinder's hinder.
Yep.
Tight hinder's the hinder finder, finder.
That's why we put hinder finder on like the back of his race car.
I guess,
Northern top.
Yeah, like moral of the story is he is our version of Ricky from trailer park boys.
Like he's got a lot.
He's got a lot and we roll with it and we love it and we can't get enough.
of it. The secret lingo of Evan Sheff. Yeah, it's, we've picked up a lot of it.
The Ricky is a lot of. The Ricky is. I've, I'll say them, I think jammed up is one that I'll
throw into a thing. And I've had a couple people, you're not, you know, dad, well, your dad started
saying it. I'm saying it. Really? You, it's just crazy. You start saying it and everyone else.
It's a very, it's easy to pick up. Well, you can get jammed up by many things. Like, you get pulled over
on your way to, to go out to eat with everyone. Yeah, he got jammed up. So he's going to be a little late.
or even like you're at work you got a lot of stuff to do you're jammed up at work
yeah jammed up is just a universal home late now yeah yeah yeah it's good stuff man now you guys
got me all like nervous about to stay Dorito or the Dorito thing about whether not to or
just whether to speak in general you know I was thinking today I've been trying to improve small talk
I was against small talk I was like cancel small talk I said that last year I've come around that
you can't get away from it so now i'm out to improve it i've started by when you see somebody
even if you maybe have met them for the first time or if you're not sure and siege actually was the
one that really implemented this and it was the good to see you not the how are you good to see you it's
a good i guess i rip that at the end quite a bit but that is a great line it's also yeah it's a
it's a good instead of nice to meet you or how are you it's a good to see you it's a good to see
because then you don't have the question where they go good how about you and you go good
and then it's just a dead end you never go anywhere from there that is the like the holy grail
shitty small talk yeah exactly that's just the worst start to the to the conversation then you go into the
how are you is and all that so today at all d started off with a just a nice morning and i went to
pick up my muffins and orange juice and there was an old guy and we were uh walking past each other
in the door and i said have a good one
And he said, stay warm out there.
I said, that's a nice alternative to saying goodbye.
So like summer, maybe say, stay frosty.
Like, what's some other things you could say as, uh, let's go with, let's go with
goodbyes.
Don't let your meat.
Don't let your meat loaf is a great example of that.
But I don't have good, none of mine are good.
I, I, I am the inventor of, we'll be seeing you.
We'll be seeing you.
We'll be seeing you, Steve.
None of those makes sense.
Uh, if I don't see you, Merry Christmas.
That's a good one.
That's a classic.
There's a time and a place for it.
Yeah, exactly.
That one lets them think.
And they just go, man, what was that guy?
That would really throw someone off.
If it's like April and you said that to them.
I might start putting that one in the rotation.
And it's a valid thing to say.
Like, if I don't see you, have a Merry Christmas.
Or tell your family Merry Christmas for me.
I think that's good.
You explaining this to Greta, and Greta's like, I'm going to see you tomorrow.
Okay, well, I don't know.
I would hate to just leave on a bad note.
Yeah.
You're like,
that's what you wanted me to know if you like disappeared tomorrow.
Merry Christmas.
I think,
at least got the holidays covered.
The thing about like small talk is it is,
it's always difficult and it's always like difficult on both ends.
You know,
like I don't think like,
you know,
one person feels it and the other one doesn't.
I just always,
always just try and find like some form.
of like common ground and a lot of times we you know hang out with fellow degenerates or like surround
ourselves with fellow degenerates and you just say something or bring up an event that is like you know
while he's a degenerate he'll think this is funny or something like that usually it just like
kind of breaks down the barrier so you think taking a little limb out is a good idea i think so yeah
extending the olive branch of degeneracy yeah
pretty much i'm always riding the fine line of like obviously oversharing the whole why are you
telling me this i'm riding that you guys see there's two but you can't overshare too much you
just have to say like i always just try and just like make some kind of joke and then maybe like
hit them and like laugh and then hell they're just confused yeah but like as time as time goes
on i've got not sit there and fucking waste the dude's time saying something
that is going to end with why are you telling me this yeah i mean no one actually says that i don't think
anyone actually says that i'd be i'd love it if they did but uh no i've i've gotten better at it and
uh sidney was saying she's like every time you meet someone in the airport or like wherever i never
know if you know them really well or if you don't know them at all not never know but you're just a
social butterfly that's a good thing like if you can if you can treat someone like someone else is
watching you and you like yeah they think that you're good friends and
and pretty good interaction.
Yeah, that's good.
For sure.
You are like that.
I love meeting fans.
Yeah, I mean, you just love meeting people.
Dude, meeting a fan is like, that's easy.
It's so easy.
Yeah.
You're right.
Because it really is.
It's one of the easiest things is there.
I try to always give, we all do, the best experience because I met a guy that I really
looked up to, Vegas Matt.
I met him in Vegas.
It was my, it was my true, it was my first true starstruck moment.
I walk around the corner.
There he is.
the Raiders game this guy high stakes gambles all the time i'm a big fan i love gambling it's great
i can watch him win or lose i get i get the it scratch but i don't have to do it and i was stoked to meet
him and really always wanted to i'd even send him a dm i was like hey man we're in vegas would love to
just oh you did just no you know like what wherever you're at like it'd be cool to meet you you know
because he does that he's out and about no response that's okay anyway so he goes yeah it's cool
he was great to talk to and I was so stoked I was like this is awesome and he goes you know what
I actually need a picture with some Vikings fans as you guys are playing the Raiders
and I go yeah it'd be great so I'm like it's so cool I get to be in a picture with him so all the
four of us you two grandpa Ron hop in a picture he's going to post on Snapchat so I'm all
excited I'm refreshing wait supposed to tell after the game I look and he cropped me out of it yeah
I was heartbroken dude and you think he did it on purpose no
I think he just did it because there was only so many people you could fit in the picture
and he went, who's funny, are these two?
Was it me and Ben in it?
Yeah, you two and Grandpa Ron.
I just kind of knew who he was, but I didn't really know what he looked like.
And then by the time, I think I turned around and he was asking to take a picture
with us, and I thought he was like a fuck.
Oh, you were like, oh, okay.
And then you explained to me.
I was like, wow, that's crazy.
Is that why you posted the picture of me, you and him on your Instagram, but you didn't
tag him?
Yeah, I needed to really just show it to him.
I needed a picture for the carousel, but I didn't want to tag them.
Unreal.
Well, guys, it's a good time.
Hopefully the listeners enjoyed it because I had fun.
Yeah, I do love chatting with you guys.
