Ev here's my car start up. He's like, all right. Perfect. Correct. He's about to start. Tell Ken, I'm coming after his cars. Ken's twist. Nothing makes your girl happy, like saying, look, babe, look how unappealing I am to other women.

Yeah. What were you looking at here again? I think that picture got edited. Bro. Hey, Kenny, you want to come to your favorite activity in podcast? Yes, I am getting some stuff printed out for them. And then I'll head up. there all right sounds good we're rolling you guys welcome back to another life wide open podcast

i uh i thought we were not going to get graced with the presence of ken i really came around on him you guys can't as a person yeah yeah to liking him yeah it's been tough no no but uh i i thought we weren't going to have him today it's a merch drop week so he's got a bunch of great helpers down there and he's got to keep him well it's hard because he can't have a robot's like crack the whip on them physically, you know? Yeah. Yeah, he saves that for himself. Yeah, he gets so much a personal enjoyment out of doing it. But he's printing out orders, but he is...

No, no, he saves the robot to crack the whip on him. Oh, yeah. That's late. I know C.J. understood that way. I can't believe we already turned it into us talking about Ken, yeah, he's not here. But yeah, you guys, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. You're pissed off or what? You know, that's a good question, because I'm never pissed off, but

No, I woke up all frantic, so merch dropped last night. You know, it's been a great week working late. But then last night I was like, well, I'll probably just catch up on sleep. You had stuff to do in Fargo, podcast at one. Guess what time I woke up? One. One. Yeah.

That's impressive, Mike. So thank you guys, everyone listening and especially the people that bought merch that are blowing up our phone. I know I can turn that off, but it's fun to have it on. The notification's on for when we get a safe. That's cool. Yep. So I didn't have, I didn't have the sound on,

but vibrate on. So it's like Sydney says, I got to turn to do not disturb. Makes sense. Stop. Yeah. Whenever I turn my phone on, do not disturb,

those are the aggressively late sleep-ins. Well, doesn't your alarm still go off? I didn't do that because I was like, I told her, we get to sleep in today. This will be great. And then I wake up at nine.

Okay. An hour, an hour more. One. It's just like, I mean, I know, you guys are not surprised, but I'm just like... That's almost like a whole other night of...

I know. Like, straight up. Especially for me. Like some, you know, some nights I'm like five hours. Anyway, then Sidney goes, like, are you mad at me? Because I wake up all frantic. Oh, yeah. And you're like, I got to go.

And I'm like, nope, I'm mad at myself. The worst type of mad. Yeah. Do you think that you have, uh, it's not sleep apnea. It's not sleep insomnia. What is it? It's, uh... No, it's not narcolepsy, bro.

I would. Yeah. I wouldn't be allowed on the road for one. And I don't think I'd be allowed to do it. What's, like, the definition of it? It's a condition where you fall asleep very randomly. Like, I guess, regardless of kind of how tired you are. Whatever's going on.

You could, like, you could be at a concert and you just like zonk out. No way. That's what that means. Yeah. No, no, no. You know who actually kind of has that but doesn't have narcolepsy. Roscoe in Danny Duncan's videos, one of his good buddies. in the videos all the time.

He was always sleeping. He was getting arrested for just whack reasons. But yeah, he was getting arrested in one of his videos. They, like, had him in cuffs, and he's leaning up against the cop car, and he just decides to take a nap. Close his eyes. Seriously? Yeah, and then they're all laughing.

They're like, yeah, look at him. Of course he's sleeping. That's crazy. That's not a good look, but, yeah, he did that. And I was like, wow. Yeah, it's interesting how he's always sleeping. I did notice that. That's got to be induced by something.

Like, that's not just like. Like, he's a really sleepy dude. You think it's drugs? Well, I'm not going to accuse. I don't know. Never met the guy. I hope to, but never met him. So I don't know.

What is Dela? Yeah, it's hard to say. But pass me waking up on the wrong side of the bed. You guys know me. I bounce back and here we are. What do you think makes the difference between a good and a bad day? Everybody's had them. But, like, you have a day where you just wake up on the wrong side and you're just

in a bad mood. Why do you think that happens? The biggest part for me is whether you're excited or dreading what's happening. Yeah. And it's, I'm talking like a threshold, like a 50, 50 threshold. If you're 51% happy that the day is going to go good, then you start cranking it up. But if you're 49 or below, sad that you have something coming up today that's either going to be a lot of work, take a lot of time or other things like you sleep in, you're late. You start to talk down the whole day. That's true. But that just snowballs. You can't, you can't do that. Exactly. No, totally. Snowballs. It's the same way with like going into it thinking it's going to be great. Like that snowballs too. It's just all the way you approach it, I think. Yeah, you just have to go through life expecting nothing and just stay even. Don't get excited.

Don't get sad. That is honestly a good way to do it too. It really is. I mean, yeah. I'm not disappointed or. Excited. Yeah. Yeah.

Every day is the same. If you don't know what you're going to get. If you like don't know what personality to have or what way to live your life, go with the flow is the most solid option. I mean, true. It's probably the easiest. Maybe it's the best. Maybe it's what you're hanging around.

Yeah, that's true. Look at Ken, he's had a pretty hard life. Has he? Well, being our friends, being a go with the flow guy. Could be a little stressful. He went along with this. Yeah. Could have had the day off.

He did go along with this. He went along with it and now he's here, man. This is actually an extreme version of go with the flow. Like, no, this is like, I'm not sure Ken wants to be a YouTuber. It's like a goal. He's just going with the flow and now he's here. It's like, well, he hopped on the truth. train and he is so far from home there's no going back he's like look it's like an open open wall on

the train you could job you could jump off but it would be a pretty abrupt landing and he's just sitting there just like I wonder if this train's got slow down I'm too far from home to go back and walking and every day the train starts moving a little bit faster so it's harder to jump off yeah I mean god damn he was born born for it I think going with the flow just matters in the situation that you're in and the group of people you're around like in situations that i'm in with you guys though it's like somebody has to make a decision and everyone else is usually happier that somebody made a decision and then we just rally behind it and we just go with it yeah and like i do that even with with greta when we're like trying to decide something like she's so like

wishy-washy on like where to go and eat or or what movie to watch or something like that and i'll just like make a decision and usually i know immediately whether she wants to to do it or not. But I think there's something to be said about making decisions, like, fast and being able to, like, stick with them. Mm-hmm. I feel like so many people just waste their time, just, like, not knowing what to do or, like, is this the right thing?

And I think everyone does it, and it's hard not to, but, like, there's something to be said about just, like, it really probably doesn't matter that much as long as you just, yeah, just make the call and just go with it. Yeah, I keep moving. Yeah, or then when you get really wise, that's when you make the call for fast decisions or well thought out decisions you know when to make those you know like there's certain things we're making a fast decision we look back and go oh my gosh i'm glad we just decided to do this and run with it we're better off and then other times we're like why do we not put any thought in

that well there's some yeah no i guess making like a quick decision but like usually we're just making one at all but i think there is something to be said about like actually thinking things through and the older that I guess I get, like the more I think about things. And I guess that takes a little bit more time, but I try and not put it between like two different options of like thinking about one thing and then like thinking that thought process out more in depth. Yeah, almost taking the one idea that I guess is in your gut

and then further engineering that idea in your head. But I mean, for a good example real quick, you guys were working on the the tall pit bike video that's doing very well appreciate it guys really well the tandem pit bike we're working with big wrench's son Gavin

he uh well we'll call him little wrench but uh you you and Evan were down there like helping him out a lot you know like just bouncing ideas off each other and I think that is partially why it went so well 100% we rarely end videos where something doesn't break especially when we build it ourselves I guess, especially when it's a Facebook marketplace build too,

but you put so much brain power into it and it worked out well. Both of them made it to the end of the video. That's pretty amazing. Yeah, I'm very surprised on that, honestly. Well, I think we've just gotten in so many situations when we made that rail, like that 100 foot rail for the razor to, like, grind on. It's a good example of. It's a crazy idea, but it was just like little thought went into it.

And I was kind of like, you know, helping Big Ranch make the decision. on like how big to go, how wide to go, and like all these things. And I just wasn't thinking things through straight. And then you end up getting your shit rocked because of it. And even felt extremely guilty because of that. But like, you know, there's so many, I guess, projects and just like things that we do day to day. But we learn from it. Yeah, you learn from it.

But like if you don't actually think out the worst or, you know, the practicality of it, then things can go extremely wrong. I was just going to say there's a balance, man. You can't rush things, and then you can't go too slow, though. Like, a lot of people go too fast and they make mistakes, and a lot of people go too slow, and they don't end up doing anything then. You know what I'm saying? And then to, like, make it even more in depth.

That one was too fast. That one we did too fast. If we wouldn't have had a posting schedule, we would have been like, you know, the dirt doesn't look right here. Let's fix that. So that way there's not the little hump on it. Make the tabs wider. But with our weekly posting schedule, oftentimes we will put other things aside that should be considered to make it happen, which I don't know if that's really the right move.

I don't think it is the right move. And, you know, sometimes it jeopardizes, well, the only thing it truly jeopardizes is safety. Other than that, it's just like us losing sleep. I think safety and quality of video, though. But obviously, like, you could have two weeks to work on a video that maybe takes a week and a half and it'll only be 10% better. That's a thing there's a... If you did it in one week, it might be 10% worse, but then you move on.

I don't know. You know, it's weird, you know what I'm saying? There's something about it, though, that keeps us, like, accountable. And I think, like, when your back is up against the wall or you're putting a corner, and then that's when you get the most creative and that's when, you know, your brain power starts firing because you don't have an option. And I honestly do think that we would probably, if we were like, oh, well, we don't have to do it.

We would just be like, yeah, we'll come up with it. And then usually you just don't. Yeah, if you don't have that headline, man. But yeah, we're like such a slave to the schedule, which sucks. And that's where it comes down to what I'm talking about, getting more wise, which we are all every single week. Then you start to make decisions faster when you're backs up against the wall. I should say, when you're backs up against the wall, you make decisions better.

Well, you only have one way to go. you have to go that way you can't go back that way but it's less of a panicked answer now than it ever was that it that is a weird saying though that we're a slave to the schedule and we set the schedule yeah we're literally a slave to ourselves i sometimes think that i'm like what well like or we set the schedule that now um is a movement let's say you know it's but but the schedules now is way deeper than us because like you're like oh aren't you your own boss i want you just you can do your like what do you mean you can't go do this to stay. I'm like, I can't. I got to go. Yeah. My, uh, like, line about that has always been that when

you're your own boss or you have your own company, you get to set the hours. But if you don't work enough, you won't have a job to come home to or to go to work to, you know? Like, you're, it'll, it'll fail around you. Yeah. I think the, I think, like, the thing about it, though, is, like, I think about so many people that, like, sit there and wait at seven o'clock on Thursday. Yeah. Or, like, the post. And that also plays, plays a factor in it too but like i really don't know if it matters at this point like i think people are going to watch no matter what and like that's the beauty of i think like the following that we've built but still it is i feel like some sense of like not wanting to to let those people down that are waiting

yeah that's what i feel too i feel bad they're like yeah our whole family watches uh every thursday and i just like envision them like when it's late i'm like fucking they're all sitting on the couch i'm like You know the Andersons are sitting there, and they're just like, when's CJ going to get this done, man? They're probably not saying CJ, but when the boys are going to get their video up, yeah. Which we, yeah, we get a lot of people reaching out that say that, which is very flattering and so sweet. But also, yeah, I mean, on a real note,

it is a partial give and take with the caliber of our videos now. So again, like last week's video, it was banger or both, I mean, so many banger videos, yeah, that if they go out an hour late or an hour or too late, it doesn't matter because they're so banger. But I think if we were just doing vlogs, we'd be able to stay on a schedule and then people could watch them on Thursday.

Do people still do blogs? Like, do people still make vlogs? Unless you're, like, really famous. I feel like that's the only people that can get away with, like, get ready with me. Like, I would consider, like, wow. Yeah. She's crushing it.

Plenty of female vloggers out here. like plenty of you're hot you can do whatever you want but uh like the deans do vlogs and and that's a great example and i think they should yeah they you know they have a weekly vlog or i don't know how often they're like the damn kardashians of the motor so you can't shit on on vlogging but i'm i'm like pumped that we have moved on from that and now it's just like it's just entertaining like we are living to entertain and it's been so fun making that dude i i say this as humbly as possible but I think we're the most underrated like YouTube creators

like for the consistency and the ideas and the caliber like week after week after week for like I don't say we've been doing this well for like four years like that's crazy that's crazy yeah it is it is I mean I think yeah we don't have much to say because it's like

I agree but also we are I mean dude the subs are going up fast It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. I think, sorry, what you said? I just think we got that Midwest, northerner work ethic. You know, like we just start. This is just what you do.

You just work, you know. Yep. And I hope one day the outcome of like the thought process like that, it's like when you see a professional athlete, like all of a sudden get really good one season. They spent the last three years working really hard to be good at some point. And I hope that the outcome of that is then one day we are. It's recognized beyond our comprehension. The only way to do it.

It's unfortunately part of it. You know, I mean, a motocross racer is a great example. Like, those guys are, you know, the people who are winning are sacrificing like 90% of their lives. Yeah, to be good. You guys excited for the Logan Paul? Yes. Yeah, dude, I'm so so pumped. Yes, I guess I am.

The people will know, I guess, the result already if they, because it's, yes, tomorrow, we're watching that. Who do you guys got? Logan Paul, Dylan, Danis. I guess I got Logan, yeah. You think he's going to win or do you want him to win? All I want is that it not to be a... I want both people to have fun. I'm honestly, like, I'm not...

I won't care who wins. Both results will be entertaining. I think if Dylan Danis wins, it'll be even more entertaining. But I don't really want to pray or wish... I don't wish anything negative on Logan. Yep. But obviously, either way, someone's going to get the... shit end of the stick on this deal if Dylan wins not only does he beat him but he talked so much

personal shit on like Logan and his fiance and it's very obvious that Logan he doesn't take shit talk well clearly well or at least Dylan really struck a chord that yeah that really ticked him off because you can just tell he's like angry actually flustered about it you know he's not just like it's not just the standard shit talk fighting type of stuff he's like so flustered about it we'll see you guys see what happened in the press conference yesterday yeah i did throwing a microphone dude dylan dan so logan poll like stands up throws like a like a prime he hucked that bottle really hard but i mean overhand or underhand like throws it at him hit him in the chest like he clearly wasn't aiming for us he wasn't aiming for his head okay Dylan danis grabs his mic flips it around and like chucks it at

him bounced it off his head i think no way i couldn't really see it no bounce it off his head he cut like he had to get stitches like cut him open honestly honestly like what the fuck's logan doing he started that he threw the bottle at him right and to be fair it's a savage move and it's the boxing game it's a savage fucking game so like honestly he just got out savage like he threw a water bottle at him and hit him in the chest and then he got fucking whack with a microphone a heavy microphone in the face. There's such a delicate balance of being a lunatic and being entertaining. I think one thing for sure is Dylan Danis is an idiot.

So, I mean, what do you expect an idiot to do? That's an idiot thing that, you know, and like, obviously it's going to help now Dylan probably in the fight because he's going to have a cut that's going to probably be easy to tear, you know, the thing about that. Because if he, and then it opens up, he could be bleeding, bleed in his eye. You now can't see out that eye. Yeah, I don't know, man. It could be, that could have been.

That could have been a really pivotal moment in the outcome of this fight. Interesting. Yeah, I was wondering about that, too, if he does have, like, stitches or whatever, it's still going to, like, you get punched right there. That's going to hurt. I think the other thing is, like, he, like, whacked him with the mic, and then, like, Logan didn't even, like, really respond, you know? He, like, just turned away and, like,

and then a security guard threw a bottle and it hit him in the head. Yeah, he got, like, Doggin in the head. Yeah. Oh, my God. Like, one of Dylan's security. So he's not only going to get whacked with the mic, and then he's like slightly covered and there's a small pocket, hits him back in the head with a water bottle. Oh, man. And then, like, he just turns around and, like, has his face down and, like, runs off.

It was interesting because, like, if you're a fighter and you're, like, going to fight, I don't know, it just showed, like, the, like, the, like, I don't know, like, the lion or whatever. The dog in you. You know, like, I feel like most dogs are, like, you know, they would have just fucking seen red and win after them or, or, you know, like, they would have tried. but he just like turned away and like ran off the stage so that makes me wonder like is he he might even be hurt worse than i'm sure it's fucking hurt yeah you'd getting whacked with a mike in the head these are heavy hopefully he's not like concussed or anything from it because that'd be even worse probably than realistically having the cut because then it's like it'll be even easier to knock him out or put him down but i wonder if that's a testament to his overall or his feelings about this fight i would say he is a big

dog in any fight whether and that's proven over his many many years of being a personality of he's like an alpha yeah an alpha exactly but i wonder if he feels like he's beat like you can have two alpha wolves but one alpha wolf gets overpowered and then he backs away it's like nature good point you know say that i feel like dylan's an alpha over logan but if he won the fight or the pre fight yeah he definitely probably won the pre fight that's what i'm saying with the pre fight it is funny came down to so if you and myself are throwing snowballs at each other and let's say i like lob three at you and then hit you one in the chest and then you throw one and smoke me in the middle of the forehead you won that snowball fight and that was the last snowball throwing you turn away

yeah especially so then just to dumb it down to just them throwing things at each other it essentially Dylan did win with the mic to the head stop you know how fast you were going i'm going to have to write you a ticket to my new movie The Naked Gun Liam Nissan Buy your tickets now And get a free Tilly Dog Not included The Naked Gun

Tickets on sale now August 1st I think Logan's gonna be a better boxer Personally Because he's just been boxing Around it seriously For You know taking it seriously

For a long time Three years and Dylan just started Is he MMA? Sorry for mine He's MMA But he's specialized in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu So like that's like

You know Takedowns and stuff that it's very applicable in MMA, but you're not going to use any of that in this. It has nothing to do with it. All right, so we'll watch this here, and I guess you guys all already know who won, but...

Like, he started that. Oh! Oh, it was close range. She was even a toss. That was just... Yeah, and he hit him. It's knowing that he hit him. Yeah, there's like another angle.

Oh, my gosh, dude. You've got to watch the higher-up angle. You can kind of see him, like, bleeding as he walks away. Really? Dude, I was not a... expecting that. I was expecting to like when you're farther away. When you're 25 feet away at a table and like you're throwing like distance. One thing's for sure is Dylan Danis knows how to sell a fight. Like he's doing a great job selling the fight. Oh, if it's just his cheek, it's probably

not too bad. He'd have to be more worried about. Oh. Oh yeah. He got. He swiped his ball. He got that guy smiling. Well, the security guard to give a little bit of defense, The security guards pushing his head down and trying to get him away. What happens if you get in a fight at the press conference? So now is that like, because obviously you punch someone in a boxing match, it's a sport, but you are at the press conference like that and you punch someone in the face? Is that now assault?

Man. Or do you have to- I think it probably depends. Who it is? Who's the guy who got punched? Like, you maybe just chalk it up to the game. Like, this is what I signed up for. I guess that's what I was wondering.

I was just wondering that too. It's only technically assault if he presses charges. And if you press charges on that, I think it would be lame. Remember when Connor McGregor threw with the dolly into the band or into the bus? My introduction into fighting. Like that was kind of right happening as I was getting into it. That was crazy. Dude, I mean, one of the first fights I remember is watching at Dave's, Jake's dad's,

really into boxing fights. We used to always watch the boxing or UFC. C-fights there at his house. I just remember sitting on the couch watching Kabib beat McGregor and then jump out of the ring and then punch Dylan Danis. Oh, that was...

Yeah, I mean, this guy's always pissing. He pisses everyone off. So, like, Kabeeb... Wow. Hopped out of the Octagon and punched Dylan Danis in the crowd. He, like, tried to double foot, stomp him, basically. He, like, he jumped and, like, crouched, and, like, almost look like he was going to

try and, like, double foot stomp him out of the air dude that was one of the most electric fights honestly because it's like the whole buildup to it was fantastic obviously Connor loses and gets choked out

but then the aftermath and like all that came from like that shit is truly an entertainment spectacle yeah yeah and that's I think was better than anything that's one of the best fights no I don't think anything

is compared to that I know I know the atmosphere of that room too yeah I was gonna say I've been smiling the whole time just thinking about it. When he jumped out of the ring, I remember all of us just getting,

oh my God, what's going on? What was more nuts, though, is like, right after that all died down, like they're taking people out, we were in this room full of, there was a lot of people, and there was this couple there, and they were fighting,

like, not physically, but they were in, like, this verbal argument, and it was, like, yelling. So there was so much going on. It was like this. Obviously, we're watching. watching fighting, which is already like, you're pretty amped up. But then that happens after the fight.

So you're really amped up. And then a fight breaks out like a verbal altercation. Right in front of you. And we were like kind of young still where we weren't like super. Not that we are now, but we're not well versed in relationships or like, you know, how things go. Or how to read the room or like or even even been in many situations similar to that where we know how to handle. So we just sat there just like trying to look the other way. We're trying to become invisible.

It was so awkward, but so funny when we look back. Not that, you know. Bad time to get in a little verbal argument. When you got six of us around here. Yeah. Oh, there's a lot more people than that. Forever been a meme. Six years later, they got a freaking podcast and they're talking about you.

It's like everybody's worst nightmare. Yeah, we're not dropping names. That's all good. But anyway, speaking of beefs, get a text from a random. number that says ready for more golf balls question mark we are yeah and you know what's funny is that we actually have we have hit all of our golf balls into the pond or onto the track so yeah i mean okay so we could just go out there pick them up put them in a bucket for us leave them by the door yeah it'd be nice it'd be way easier hold on yeah so then the next text tell ken i'm coming after

his cars oh and i just respond and again ken's like what did i do yeah actually what did i do Yeah, I don't know why he said that. Again, I don't know if this is actually him, but I didn't know what to respond, considering this could just be a random person that knows about the bit, or not a bit, about the dude coming over and then us using the golf balls.

I just respond laughing faces. That's it. And then he says, reckless golfing or else, A-L-S-E, can't spell. And I said, I'm actually confused. And then he said, remember when someone came and dropped golf balls

all over the shop? And then I'm like, yes and he said it was me I'm gonna do it again or you can do another reckless golfing and at this people love the reckless golf at this point let's say this is let's say this is him yes it was a threat and I'm just laughing in my head I'm like or you can do another reckless golfing so I'm like brother we're doing another reckless golfing like give a time like if you want to threaten I didn't say this but I'm like if you want to threaten us about something Don't make it something that we're already planning on doing.

So then I just said, oh, I get it. I said, oh, I get it. You're blackmailing us into doing another reckless golfing or else you'll spill golf balls over the driveway again, just laying it out. And then this morning he texted me, you and Evan look like a couple. Damn, no, he's going after you personally.

And I didn't respond, but I'm like. What does that even mean? Yeah, I mean, yeah. And then I was just like, if I had to respond to him, I'd be like, yeah, dude, we're homies. I mean, it could probably come off like that. nothing worse than having to explain your joke yeah so i just thought that was funny like let's say that is him i'm like yeah we kind of want more golf balls but like don't damage any

property yeah he he could just drive by the 72 hd security cameras and leave them in a tote by the door that'd be nice of him to do anything else yeah that would be great we'll be captured we need some more balls honestly we do i was just so fun yeah and it does blow my mind that we went through all of them. I'm not surprised. Cody posted an Instagram video. What we like to call. A bunch of...

Pardon our language. Fuck around edits. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of like a bunch of videos. And I was like, I feel like an outsider because I wasn't a part of a single one of these videos.

Oh, and I felt like an insider watching. I was like, dude, when are you guys doing this? I was like... After 11 p.m. Yeah. Yeah. And that would make sense. I'd say almost after 2 a.m.

sometimes. They're out there fucking around. which I honestly you got to respect man yeah for sure for sure yeah if any if anything that's like what's truly keeping us young but yeah I watched that and I was just like bro because it's not during the day hours of everything else we do keeping you young it's good that at 11 p.m you decide to do I should say if anything I should say among all things that one is the most I think that is because that's that's truly coming from the heart it's purehearted yeah like you know there's truly no gain, if anything, just disadvantage.

It's only hurting you. I love hearing Evan talk about that. Like, Evan truly is just as anyone stoked on what we're doing day in and day out during the day. But he's just like, oh, dude, you just can't, you just can't beat those, just random times that you just come about and you're riding and you're at the pond, couple T's deep. You just can't beat those. Like all of those nights, he'll literally then say the next day.

Just can't beat it. I love that. He enjoys that and that you guys do that. kind of thing though because like ev's living here he's staying at the shop like it would break my heart if he wasn't like having fun or like enjoying himself here so like the fact that you guys are doing that and you kind of just get roped into it but like Cody and have like there's living it's great yeah you're right it would be a bummer if he was just like if it was very like platonic or or even partially yeah like if we were just he was there we're here we leave ever here's my car startup he's like

All right. Perfect. Correct. It's about to start. Yeah. Finally, that idiot's gone. Uh,

that's, there's some truth to that. The real fun can begin at that point. Hey, Ken, I hate to do this. Could you take off these, uh, this ads?

There's lots of stuff going on. Have you been looking at watches? Yeah. You've been a shit ton of watch ads, yeah. No, I get emails about them and then I click on it and then that's the only kind of ad I get. My ads have been in Spanish lately.

I don't speak a lick of it. Hmm. So do you guys? I'm looking up, maybe Spanish. What, do you guys, are you aware of, like, what Timu is? I can, I can come up with an idea of what I think it is. Those are the most annoying ads I get. Is this an ad?

Are you jumping on, are you jumping on my stick right now? No, this isn't an ad. No, but I just, so it's, it's like we were talking about the record and the Cummins, and then it offered me, like, a specific flywheel pulley bearing for the Cummins. And I'm like, what on earth? That happened to Ron. And mine and I, just the other day. So we were talking about just UPS drivers and their pay and benefits and how good it is.

And then the first TikTok is a UPS driver breaking down his salary and benefits. It was unbelievable. I'm not too. Yeah, exactly. We both looked at each other and go, holy crap. Like it was not an hour later. Specific. How do you get that?

How do you get that? I don't know, man. I'm not trying to go full tinfoil. out of here, but it's a little too much. I don't think you're going tinfoil hat saying that our phone is listening. It's just a matter of fact. I just saw a video this morning, actually, that meta and raybans are making a... Those look cool, but I don't know if I want to get on the whole meta train.

Kind of like virtual reality sunglasses, but like basically it'll see, you know, what you're looking at and you just go like, hey, what kind of camera is that if you're wearing the glasses or sunglasses and it'll like recognize this summer. Are the Rayban ones. I've seen that where they have the cameras in them. Are you thinking about this at all, Ken? Live stream and AI technology. That's such a privacy invasion, I feel like. Yeah. This is where we draw the line.

Are you fucking serious? Everything else? Your lights switches are on a fucking system. Yeah, what? Yeah, but like have live stream back to Facebook everything that you see and do for a day. How is that not a privacy invasion? That's like back in the early days of Facebook, when you used to take a photo, it would upload it to a public mobile uploads folder.

Dude. Okay. How about how about when you used to buy something? It was like very short-lived, but Facebook used to publish when you'd make like a purchase. And the guys were like buying wedding rings for their, you know, girlfriends soon to be fiancés and it would get like posted on social media. Like, so it just bought a wedding. That happened with an older, I guess, couple that I know back when Facebook would upload your mobile pictures. Uh-oh. Well, she sent him a bunch of, you know, news. Yeah. It was just sending them to, you know, her husband, no big deal.

Went on Facebook. What? No. Someone. Someone, like, texted her then. But it had been up for a while because it was like one of those typical situation where you maybe weren't like, I feel like you weren't checking Facebook. It's frequently back then.

Maybe only on the computer. And also, if I saw it about someone I didn't really know, I probably wouldn't text them or message and be like, yo, this is what's going on. I would just see that and then keep. scrolling it's an easy mistake to make though yeah but now was someone you knew like someone someone we all know wow that is a tough that's tough so yeah they're not that bummed by they just laugh about it what are you going to do it was a long time i mean true yeah they everybody forgot until now but i do remember that point in facebook where the status update was everything and then

it turned into like way more than a status update it was truly like where i am what i'm buying but i do agree with ken with the uh here's why i think the rayban glasses are an invasion of privacy or a plan to be. So they put Rayban name on it. Cool. Obviously, they're cool glasses. I like that. Then I'm expecting the price to be way more.

You go and look, the starting price is about $300. Wow, that's not that bad. So that's where it's concerning. It's a fair price. It's like they're, that's a wayfarers. That's a common. It has to be subsidized.

Like that has to be like cost at that point. You know why they're so cheap? Because they're trying to get them on everyone's face. Because meta went, yeah, if everybody wears these, I'm going to make way. way more money yeah it's like selling a fucking crack pipe to a crack addict they'll buy the crack so i was just very surprised that how low the price was because they want them on everybody's face yeah they want to see what the inside of your bedroom looks like ken not a chance not a chance

no yeah surprised that you're not i'm not surprised that you already know so much about them but uh i'm surprised that you're not maybe a little bit into them yo these are going to be amazing for filming pranks though if you can just oh yeah that's what i'm okay so One thing I haven't heard yet is can you just film with them? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. The only thing I saw was just... It says capture.

Dude, oh my gosh. Can order yourself up? This is the first generation of these. I think there's been a couple. Order yourself up a pair. Yeah, there has been. I've seen them with the glasses. There's the standard prank glasses.

Hey, I mean... Like shit, they're obviously prank glasses. Yeah, yeah. But 12 megapixels. No? I'm into it, though. You ask Ken. Beeping Red.

Yeah. They have a... Oh, what? You ask, If he's into it, but, like, yeah, I would love to order a pair and try them. Yeah, Ken, order yourself up a pair. You love Raybans. You love technology.

Ken does love Raybans. I don't know how this would make Ken's life easier, though. That's the... Oh, interesting. They have color, oh, they're pre-orders. Wait, do they have screens on the inside of the lens? No, I think it's just a capture. Oh.

I think it's literally just a camera on it. Yeah, so that's not... No, what you're thinking. I, yeah, I thought they maybe displayed something. Something up. Yeah, then I think... Do you guys remember the Oakley sunglasses that used, or the Oakley goggles that used to do that with your GoPro telemetry,

telemetry, sorry? Yeah, you'd be like skiing down a mountain, right? And it would show you your speed and your elevation and the run. Yeah, pretty sick. Really? I don't know if they still do it. Oh, yep. Here we go.

Heads up display. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio. Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Fresh excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. Dude, I feel like expensive sunglasses are out of style.

Is that just me? No, they're in the same. I think they're in the little less, but I think they're in the same amount of styles they've always been, but you just have your wares. I feel like when I was like younger and first getting in sunglasses, it was like, oh, you got Oakley's. Oh, you got. I agree.

Those are, like, you want to get like the nice ones. And then, like, nowadays, I've never had, like, an actual legit, like, nice name brand. I just buy cheap glasses, like, you know. But also keep in mind, you'd lose them if you did, right? Well, I don't even think it's that. I just like, I don't know. I think it's just the fact that they can break so easily and whatever. And I don't know if they're necessarily better.

Like, I truly don't think they're better. Well, the argument always used to be that the lens quality was so much better. Because I, I mean, if you went and bought, like, My dad never wore sunglasses. He would only buy, like, cheap gas station ones. Which suck. They still suck to this day. And then he bought his first pair, like Maui gyms or Raybans or whatever.

And he's like, wow, they're amazing. I don't have headaches anymore. Really? Yeah. There's something to be said there. But I think he could throw on a pair of bums, blenders, you know, anything that isn't $500 or $300 for a pair of sunglasses and still have the same effect now. Like, I feel like the cheap sunglasses are now better.

It's just nice having so many different pairs and colors. I do love that. That's the trade-off. I'd never make. My parents wore Oakley's and they were snobs about it. Not wearing anything but Oakley's. Really? Really?

Which is surprising. Your parents, I don't think were snobbed about anything. Yeah, and they were like, the only time we're getting a new pair of shades and they'd wear them for years and years. But then I guess what my first pair of, like I legit saved up allowance money, mowing money, to buy my first pair of Oakley's. I didn't know. shit back hands. White gas cans.

No, yeah, she got like brown gas can. They were gas can smalls because it was so little. I'll have a picture. Yeah, I might have a picture. I'll find one. I could probably find a picture of it and I will. Ken and I had Oakley's when we were younger. Oil rigs. Ken had oil rigs, brother. Ken had oil rigs. And then I

had the gas cans. So we were quite the fucking duo. That's what Ken looked like. Look at the guy. Right there. One more over. Look at him. Bro, that straight up looks like him. That is the modeling picture. When I met you guys, You guys both ride up on your jet skis. You got Oakley's on.

Oh my gosh. Looking around. I just had this picture pop up in my memories and it was Ken and I riding four-wheeler. Dude, I want to get those Oakley's on the left next to Pebble. Those are like rare, dude. Yeah, those are back in the day. It's a fire, dude. Two grand.

Oakley sells was on their site for two grand. I probably wouldn't lose them, though. Probably wouldn't wear them either. Yeah, I was going to say. If I had those, I would wear them. No, Ben. Can you imagine? So Ben just loves wearing those.

These are the over-the-top oaklies. that we're talking about. And they're quite literally called that. You know what? The hardest part for you, Ben, you'd love wearing them so much, but you're like, they keep messing with my hair.

You got, like, curly hair, and you're going to have two lines down the center of your head. Yeah, I love wearing them, but like... It would part it,

and then it would pop out the top. Here's a picture with Ken. Ken with two chicks and his oil rigs. Well, you need to get oil... Oh, my gosh. That could be you, Ben. You know,

man, that's so fast. And in the state of fair embarrassment, here is me. Here's me in a pair of gas cans. At the time, though, like, you looked cool. Yeah, I was wearing a fucking Jordan shirt holding six walleye. That was cool. That was his Tinder profile picture.

It was. I think that was the hot or not days. This wasn't Justin, dude. Oh, Justin. I don't think Justin ever had Oakley's. He was how he's wearing. What were these? What's that model called?

Aviators. Like Sharon's wearing them. Like, moms still wear them. They were like aviators, but they were. they were cheap aviators when they like couldn't somehow get the design right i feel like yeah i remember that exact that exact picture was justin's dad bought a hundred sunglasses off of amazon for like 14 dollars or some you know ridiculous price and it was like before you know you knew what to do with cheap internet shopping so you just bought them last there was nothing else to do

than buy everything like back when he bought a hundred pairs of sunglasses all at 14 bucks a pair No, no, no, it was like $14 for the lot. Oh, it was very cheap. That's been back when Amazon was like, they were. I remember I had a friend that, uh, he went to Mexico on vacation and he got me some like rip off, uh, sunglasses. I got like the Spies and then the Folkleys and those things were bad, but that's what I

would wear. I would, like those had some terrible. Bad ass? No, I look cool in them. I look cool in them. I at least I thought. In spies. I can see you being a spy fellow.

Yeah. I have lost so many sunglasses over the years. I bet I've lost 50 pairs of sunglasses. Oh, my God. And I still find them every once in a while. I mean, that's the best part. You find them. I've also had, like, subs come up, and they'll ask, like, do a thing.

I don't know what it is about my glasses because they're not, they're just standard glasses. And they're like, can I have your sunglasses? And I'll be like, uh, I kind of need them to like, I'm going somewhere. Yeah, it's sunny. But I have given them away a couple times. times. I always regret it because I'm like, I don't have a sunglasses. For me, I'm just like, what do you got to trade, bro? And then if it's good, I'll trade them.

Trade up. That's fair. I just have a little last PSA about sunglasses, aviator frames in particular. We're all in the same consensus. I don't know if they're out of style. If you're Tom Cruise, you can wear aviators. If you're someone who looks good in aviators, and you'll know, if you look bad in aviators, stop wearing aviators.

Bro, I don't know if aviators can go out of style, though. They've been around since like the 70s or 80s. They look good in 80s, I don't know, but yeah, a long, long time. If you look good in aviators, people probably tell you, you look good in aviators. If nobody has told you that, pick a different frame, brother. People sitting in their car right now, looking in the review mirror going like, ah, shit. Do I look funny in these? They just go and trade them in for the Oakley over the top FMJs.

Used. Gosh, $2,000 pair, and they just look, they're driving in that now. Now you look great Didn't Justin Jefferson Yeah he got those man He seems always having new pair of shades each game I don't know how he's affording it Yeah that's tough

I wonder yeah it doesn't seem like You think he makes good money Dude Justin Jefferson's out of here bro There's something about a guy like him I think he's planning on just dipping Which I hate sick Yeah I feel like he's over the vikes

Like he's just like you know they're losing And he's a winner And he knows he's not really fucking up But uh there's something about a guy like like Justin Jefferson I think Ben has it too where they can just wear anything

and they look cool even though they're kind of funny looking like Justin Jefferson isn't a good looking no but he's got like swag but also like a certain like style to him that he can just wear anything and like I feel like I can't wear cool shit

like if I wore those glasses I wouldn't I just look stupid I just look stupid I really want to see you. I would love to see you wear those. I can't do cool hairstyles for one because I don't have hair. But for two, if I did, I'd still probably look weird. Okay, there's something to be said, though, about too hard of a change-up.

Yeah. Like, when you transition into it, then no one really notices the slower, the better, sure, whatever. But yeah, if you're just like, one day I want to wear this, then everyone's going to go, that is different. Like, do you think I could pull off hats if I just, If I just changed my entire life, moved across the country and never met anyone that did see me before and only wore hats. You want to what I want to see Ryan wear? Being real, you could wear hats if you moved away and no one knew you. And you're okay, I would never get some X-outs.

Get the big frame. Or having anyone trust you. Put this hat on it. No, dude, you're just going to make fun of me. Put this on. Okay. Let's put it on. Put it on straight.

Just don't tell me what to do. Okay. See, that does. See, I'm saying about it hurt cousins. Ben told you to put it on straight and you didn't. But it's not straight. But yeah, no, if you wanted it doesn't look that. Ryan, wear it to the back with it kind of cocked to the side.

Like, like this? Like when you wear your hat like this? Yeah, a little bit of like Jersey Shore and you. No, but if Ryan did start wearing hats, like yes, of course we'd eventually get used to it. I don't know. Man, are you telling me that this hat from Seaboy's TV. dot com will look good on anybody i think so if it looks good on ryan yeah really you know what i want to see ryan wear though those like uh sample pants that we got for the next merge drop

it looked good i want to see ryan wearing those i just uh like i saw ben in them and i went yeah they look sick and then i wasn't i don't know if anybody can pull these off but then we talked about how they're riding pants and how they have other uses and then now i love them honestly it's true though i don't know if everybody could pull those pants off i think uh Ken, for sure, Ken, Evan Ken. I even think I might be able to. Really? Yeah, but, like, I feel like Ken and possibly you.

I don't know if it fits your, like, damn, mantra or whatever, mantra or whatever you call it, you know? What would you say my mantra is if you had to say it? The way you're dressed right now. A Coors light. The crew neck and, like, some blue jeans. We're in, like, a shirt that is like a stupid little saying on it. Yeah, you couldn't do that, though. do. Let's see it.

It's just stupid. What is it? Which one is it? What's it say? Everything I love to do is illegal. That's a good shirt. That's actually a good shirt. That's a good shirt.

That's not a stupid saying. No, that's a good one. I like your meme shirts, but yeah, certain people just have the swagger, man. Some people got the swagger. Isn't it interesting? I wonder how you develop that. I don't know if you can.

I keep in mind, I think partial fashion, it has to match your personality. Yeah. And you got to have the look. though to begin with too you know you gotta have the look i think i agree but i think that's what a lot of people are scared of hearing yeah no that's the truth of it though

some people just don't have the look i have to look shit somebody told me if i have the look or not you're looking in the mirror with those aviators you pop them down you go my whole life is alive listen listen what even am i everybody's got a look for a certain style but there's not there's not always a style for your look you know or a certain style isn't gonna you know there's plenty of good other

alternative options that fit your your look man don't give up yet Ryan I'm not hey man I'm in the same boat as you dude I can't fucking pull off anything either I wouldn't say that at first I felt honored that you were like I don't know I'm like you and then I

then I caught the insult both of us both of us classic dude when Mike got those pants though that were like so wide like 12 inches wide on each leg he looked Amish yeah i mean that just went too big because i mean let's be real here i mean i used to wear like skinny jeans in high school you can popo pick you guys can roast me that was not a different mics it was not a good

time but then now because it was so tight on your your balls or what no i mean at the time i guess it was fine i honestly didn't get made fun of all that much for you said those were just tough times or what did you say? They were because now I have to look back on them and be very disappointed myself. Well, it doesn't help that they were fucking purple. Yeah, there was some purple ones, some red ones. Jake makes me feel better that he still wears like colored jeans. I'm like, I used to do that. He was wearing like blue jeans, not like denim blue jeans, but they are like dye blue. Yeah. And then he was also wearing a blue shirt today. I did notice that. But that's what I mean. It works. If I, if you saw me in that, you'd be like, who?

Did you close your eyes today? Exactly. And you're right. And maybe Ryan couldn't even, and I don't know why you'd want to, transition to dressing like that. I'm saying it would take years. Ryan's,

it'd be three years from now. That outfit could be normal for you. But again, I don't know what you'd want it to be. But no, Jake pulls it off well. Ryan's transitioning. Yeah, that'll be a good topic later. I'm so glad we got four transitions out without you guys talking about my transition glasses.

God, Mike. You know what I love about this picture, Mike? is most people go to Vegas and they're like, I need to dress nice and cool. Suit up. I'm wearing my suit. I'm getting my good clothes out. For the record?

And you just dress even worse than you normally dress. The last time, or the first time we were there, I absolutely thought that. And then I was like, wait, nothing matters. No, nothing, especially in Vegas. I don't think it matters at all, man. I don't know if this is the absolute reasoning, but you go to Vegas, your girl's on edge.

You send a picture of yourself. wearing that to your girl. It's a good point. Nothing to worry about. Was that a strategic play on your part? You were like, listen, babe, I'm not fucking around. Look the way I'm dressed. If anything, I'm letting them know, like, you don't even want nothing to do with me.

Yeah, no, it wasn't a strategic, but that's a good point. Nothing makes your girl happy, like saying, look, babe, look how unappealing I am to other women. Yeah. See, I'm doing this for you. Luckily, when we're in Vegas, we don't even hang out in spots where there's women. Like, we're just gambling. I don't think I've seen a single girl in Vegas.

Dead serious. We don't go to the clubs and all that. But what about that big, the big group photo you and I took? It was like me, you, slot machine, slot machine,

slot machine, slot machine, that group photo we took? With all the slot machines? Yeah. Hang you. That what you're calling girls now? Yeah.

Oh. Jesus, dude. That's funny. No, yeah, no, honestly,

I was going to say, we're not hanging anywhere cool where there's like chicks hanging around like I don't know we're not picking up anyone other and maybe like a senior citizen that's smoking no next to me at the fucking slot machine I gotta be careful for those the the stereotype of Vegas is like guys group goes there and finds a bunch of hot chicks and they you know like stuff like that I see we've been to Vegas three times I've never seen a girl there it is solely dudes going there to have a dude's weekend you start going to places like throw we see girls there

to be clear, but it's not like a, like a picking up spot. Like if you were a single dude, you shouldn't, yeah, I like, you know what I'm saying? Like, but also if you were a single look, we probably wouldn't hang at the spots we hang. We're like hanging in the, I mean, truly degenerate places. Like otherwise we'd maybe go to like the pool and like go to these parties and pool parties and like all this other stuff. But back in the day, Vegas was like very high class. Like everyone used to dress up and wear like suits and like their nicest stuff. and it was like very fancy

and now it's kind of gone this route. Back when Mark used to buy us tables at the club. I think next podcast Ken, you should wear a suit. Yeah.

What's with you in making me wear a suit? I just love to see Ken wearing a suit in my absolute dreams to see him in that top hat. Oh, dude, whatever having that top hat?

What's your beef with that too? No, he stomped it on the other. Well, you tried throwing away multiple times. You stomped out multiple times, dug it out of each garbage can i'm pretty sure i never let you throw that thing away that's a nice hat it's like a hundred and twenty dollar hat in that next time what why do you hate that hat so much it looks it me wearing that hat is like ryan wearing every other like everything okay it's not even

close to that bad geez come on man i was going to be on your team here that's not even close can you look fantastic yeah i hate that hat i just can't believe that you hate that hat so like it's just so strange He's like, I hate that hat. You like making me wear that hat because I hate wearing that hat. Oh, can you look good in it? No, I think you look good. But what if you look good in like a sexually appealing way, like you walk through a crowd and every girl is going to turn at you and go, wow, I need to get a piece of that man.

But when everybody looks at you, they're going to go, damn, that guy is dressed up dapper. I don't see it that. That style hat is the absolute opposite of that. Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying. Yeah. I'm not going to lie. It's so good, man.

If you're trying to picture what Ken looks like. You're fooling yourself if you think that's a good looking hat. I'm saying not. Don't wear it to a first date, but, you know, where? When you're driving the limerong for the boys or when we're having a night out in Vegas. Ken, I think you got to start wearing suits. I agree, Ben. You just like, you're a very dapper looking guy, you know?

I think you just maybe trim the beard up. Oh, my God. People are going to think you're a boss as soon as you walk and wearing a suit. I walk in wearing a suit. They're like, what does this guy do? I like that. I definitely, you should start carrying around like 2,500 cash all times. For why?

I'd say mold taps? I'm not even joking. If you see someone open their wallet and pull one $100 bill out, but you see like a decent amount of thickness and you know they're all hundreds, you're like, what is that? Let's mug him. That guy doing. Can you imagine the, like, the first night that he wears a suit,

puts $2,500 in his wallet, gets mugged. Because we gave him all the freaking, we're like, dude, you look so good. Yeah, look at how happy we were. And for the rest, he was. Look at how happy we were. Look at what I'm wearing. What am I wearing?

Ken, you look so good, bro. It does not, it does not do me any favors wearing that hat. Well, it doesn't help that your suit's a little big. We could get your suit tailored. Like, let's maybe focus on the suit before we focus on the hat. Yeah, the hat fits fine. Yeah, the hat's fine. That hat is garbage.

And for those, what was that for, Justin's wedding? I only loved that hat because I hate it. No. No, we loved it before. I grabbed the hat and I gave you the hat. And you put it on. You hated. You hated wearing the construction uniform.

Remember when we had it? I hated that. Yeah. Yeah. He looked good in that. Look at this one, Ryan. Like those are two fits that really fit Ken's mantra. Look at him.

Look at him. Oh my God. What were you doing with all that alcohol? He was just stocking up in the week. Is that for Wee Fest? Ken dress like a construction worker for WeeFent. Hey, that was the day that we got to know Ken do van. Oh, yeah, that was exciting.

That's why we did that. That was a good time. I can't believe we still have that. But you hate that stuff because it was associated when getting the van? No. I misheard what you said. That's why I hate it, you said, after the van. I disliked it because you got the van.

You got to dress the part for it. You can't wear whatever you're wearing. That's right. Yeah, that's funny. That's like what we do literally every single video. Yeah. We got to go back to that, man. I love that time.

Man, that was fun. Ken getting mad. about us putting all these outfits on him and stuff is really just Evan stuff like that it's just Evan when we ask him to put on a helmet yeah you guys just want me to wear

because I hate it yeah sure whatever just put it on yeah yeah that's why Evan I don't care about your life I just want you to be not happy no I'm not wearing that stupid thing I look like an idiot he looks so much better with the hat

it looks cheeto it looks cheeto what were you looking at here again I think that picture got edited That picture I don't look very flattering You added it was a mashup of two faces And I think they got swaned No, I have like multiple like many Like here's one too

You're still looking You're looking at it but it's like it moved How you're looking at his hat? You see he's growing sandals You're being a skirt Look look and then you got the head tilt on this one You've got then now your head's tilted I can't see it from that far away

We can make a deal If you wear the hat and suit in Vegas I guess you guys can dress me up funny. Oh my God, yes, we're doing that. Vegas isn't appropriate. I knew you guys to jump on that. Well, that's a great deal. What the, Ken, you got to do that.

I'll do that. You're going to wear a suit in Vegas and we get to dress Ryan up however we want. Well, not however. You just said it. You just said it. Not however, just within reason. Oh, my gosh. I would just put rules like you have to dress me like a male.

I have to be. Oh, yeah. I have to be appropriately clothed. Just like appropriately covered. Yeah. I don't like my balls hanging off. Yeah, we can do that. Okay.

Ryan, that is a very loose. Yeah. I know. I trust me. I wish I hadn't spit it out previously. But he did it for you, Ken. You know,

uncomfortable. Ryan, I feel like you're the most, like if you were wearing something like with like an aggressive saying on your shirt, you would be the most uncomfortable wearing it. Would you not agree? That's a fine line because I'm the guy who wears the stupid t-shirts. I'm saying aggressive.

Like, how aggressive. Like a shirt that just says like, yeah, like like one of Danny's shirt. It's like coming in me, bro, or like, you know. That is aggressive. Just a shirt that just says the F word on it. Like, I could see Evan just wearing a shirt that says the F word right across,

just black shirt, white text. Yeah. And he'd just wear it. Well, he was wearing the shirt that, that I think you got him, but it says all this and a nice dick too. I did get that for him. He was wearing that in a video. And I just go, hey, yo, that's definitely probably going to get us like,

flagged on YouTube. I love the shirt, but like, can't wear it. Maybe he wasn't very happy about put something else on and he goes, you guys bought this for me. Yeah, he pulled everyone together. Yeah, but it's a funny

shirt, but also I'm not trying to get demonetized. Yeah, I didn't buy it for a video or even a, even a podcast. That was like me all day at Haydays on Sunday. Like earlier that morning, someone traded me a hat, didn't think much of it. The hat says skinny dips and bong rips.

And I wore it all day in like a hundred pictures and then with kids yeah i was like why didn't anyone tell me i had this hat on i'm the one who put it on but still all right so my niece is four years old and she's five she's five years old and she was asked to draw her family tree oh my gosh and this is a photo of the family tree that she drew Alex come come here and look at this have you seen this Alex what though i want to get your reaction. Which one are you, the little one? I don't think I'm, I'm extended family. Look at that.

That's, that's, that's, that's our family tree. A whole lot of dicks in your family, huh? CJ! That's tough. She is an aspiring artist. Doing a good job. Apparently the, uh, little, uh, black balls

at the bottom of the shaft. Our shoes. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's the arms Oh I guess no arms Yeah you go Why are there no arms

Well otherwise they wouldn't look like dicks Or she's just a grade A troller They had that shit like hanging up on the wall She's trying to be like that is Maybe that's Yeah that'd be funny if you're in like high school art Or whatever you draw that And then like if they get all mad about it's like

I'm a bad artist Like this is the best I can do I can't believe the teacher wasn't like Okay, now, like, let's, you know, draw some arms. Yeah. The teacher had to have been laughing. Like, the teacher, the teacher had to have been like, holy shit, this is going to be, this is gold. Who's the one of the top middle?

Yeah, I was wondering. Why is the one in the top middle wearing shoes on for that one? The whole body. Yeah, I don't know. That's tough. Bottom ones got a little lean to the left, too. My favorite's top left for sure. Solid shoes.

Yeah, solid head. Yeah. Very defined. Very defined. Definitely the longest. Yeah, yeah. I guess, yeah, she, like, brought it home and was super proud of it. Like, look at the family tree that I drew.

And then my brother, her dad, thought it was the funniest thing in the world. I can imagine. What an artist. I thought I had a picture of her holding it. She was so stoked about it. That's one of those things you can't make up, man. No, you can't. That is just the best.

Yeah. At least we know what she really feels about your family. Well, I go, I ask Sam, I say, what the fuck's going on at all? You know what have been funnier, though? If it was like just one picture and it's just like a nice little, like cute girl, all the rest of that. And it's like, yeah, my whole family's a bunch of dicks. One time when I was in elementary school, I casually mentioned in passing that my dad was addicted to Coke. Because he loves Coca-Cola soda.

Yeah. So my teacher asked, does he do Coke when he's, around you. I go, of course. Whenever we're driving, he always has a Coke. Does he ever have you hold the Coke? And I go, yeah, I go get him Coke when he's watching TV. I do this whole thing, get into the principal's office, you know, family comes in. Yep. I do the whole counseling thing, and then the family comes in. And they go, so we need to talk about the drug problem. Do you feel safe at home, you know, stuff like that. And then it came out that my dad has just a lot of Coca-Cola. Pop.

Man, that would have been uncomfortable. Can you imagine? The faces of any, like, faculty, principal, do you remember? Like, what? Like, that had to have been priceless. I feel like that's one of those. Them just being like, eh. I don't remember.

I'm sure there was lots of laughing. But I do remember it being very serious. Like, do you feel safe to go home? Oh, even after they found out of four. I don't know. Probably that first grade. Yeah, I don't know, like a seventh graders. something like that you imagine you get in the truck afterwards and randy goes hey thank you

with that whole coca cola shit man that was you pulled that was genius oh my god i was sweating bullets uh or even better if he like said that just in earshot of them as they're like walking away that's been hilarious oh man good save buddy kids do the darndest things uh pull up yeah Speaking of which, pull up that other video, I just airdropped you. So this is my nephew. He's seven months old, and my brother caught him sitting on a four wheeler. Quite the household they got going to there. Jeez. Disappointed, would be an understanding.

To say the least. Yeah. He looks pretty happy. Yeah, he does. Well, at least he rides, dude. I like it. Dude, to find out that my nephew's. That wasn't.

My nephews. Probably. Yeah. But he's going to be a quad guy. I mean, look how those guys turns. Turn out. Shit. Yeah, I know, right?

So, yeah, you get grounded for a week. Did he really? Yeah. Can't be having that. Where the fuck do you get that thing? I almost stole it or something. Not only a quad rider, but a thief. Thief.

Two things that go just with each other. Yeah. And then Ken, pull up this last video that I sent you right there that's popped up. All right. What are we got going on here? Dude, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen. Oh. Oh.

That was the longest crash I've ever seen Oh, is he on fire? Yeah, I think he is on fire. Oh, that guy, he should do. That looks like a video game when it kind of like glitches. Like, you know, like it doesn't know how to flip you over or which way and it kind of. Go back to the moment when he goes up on it though. Like, I don't even know how this is possible.

Just gravity physics. Oh my. Yeah. No, it doesn't make any sense. Why is his arm out for a second? Like he's up on top and he almost holds up like a. Number one. He's like, he just won the race.

Like, it was like a quick, like, fist pump over the finish line. He maybe thought he was on the ground. Pretty clean front flip, though. Yeah, it really was. Probably did less damage riding up on a... And then leave it to the guy to just biff it. Four feet up. Those guys had been running for a while.

That's tough. That's he face by... That's tough. Touches his face to the ground. This guy might have came out of that in worse shape than the other guy. A hundred percent. The other guy's a legend. That guy's just clumsy.

Can you imagine if he got, like, like, like, date up there. That would be the only thing that I'd make that video crazier. I feel like the tire is almost like cushioned his fall. Like he came in with a lot of momentum and it like caught him,

slowed him down and then let him back down. It was a pretty smooth landing. Like a front flip. Yeah, still was obviously he tucked and rolled. He was a hard crash and whatnot. But yeah, really cushioned him.

Some wild shit happens. Ken, play the video that I just sent to you. I know we've talked a lot about Monster Jam on this podcast, probably because we love it. After meeting Ryan Anderson and, you know, legend, dude, love that guy. Yeah, legend his dad at Cletus's. Like, I had no, I knew there was a lot of grave diggers.

I knew there was more than one. I knew there was, you know, a couple. This is all of the grave diggers, you know, going out on a run together, which is so cool. It would be so cool to be there. Every single Monster Jam show, I'm watching his Instagram. It seems like every single one he's like totaling out the truck. Not actually, but like, I just can't believe it.

Wow. And they basically just all go until they're, like, toast. Dude, I love this. It's had to have been so expensive. So expensive. One of them flipped? Oh, more than one. Honestly, they're all sending it just as hard for some of them being a lot older.

How was there that many gravediggers driving? I didn't know. Did you get a count on how many that was? At least a two, three. I think it was seven or eight. Hmm. I didn't know there was more than one grave digger. Well, it seems to be a title that's handed down.

God, this had to have been electric to be there. Which I thought at first. Oh my gosh, that's a boot, dude. I thought at first that there was, yeah, one, then there was two. Then I'm like, oh, there might even be three. But apparently they just have probably a literal airplane hanger full of these things. Yeah. You have to, man.

Oh, my gosh, man. You can imagine the mechanic? This is like big. Yeah. Like, can you imagine them? No. She's not watching this. Why, you didn't even have to wreck.

There was already six wrecked trucks. I love this. I would love that. That guy just literally turned into the jump so he'd roll. Yeah, he was like, I'm tired. That guy did the same. They're like, we're going for a barrel roll. Dude, this is the coolest thing ever.

I love monster trucks. There's nothing more American than monster trucks, especially gravedigger. At Cleetus's, I was asking him, I was like, ooh. that's gotta hurt right and he's like so bad every single time he was like yeah man those big ones yeah dude there's no way

to have it not hurt yeah and I was like I was like that makes me feel so much better knowing that and I have so much more respect I was like everything that I thought now is I guess true verified and that is way fucking crazier in my head that like

you're out there doing that and you're also getting beat the shit out of like you're you're just doing it for the entertainment of the people because we all knew like landing like that has you feel there's no way there's no no there's no there's no way you even tip a side by side on the roof from just doing a donut it's aggressive so let alone you're going like that we all knew it but it seems like most of those drivers they never say it hurt about it they never say it like i've asked a few and they're always like no you don't even feel it i'm like what but yeah if you guys Like, if you haven't checked out, just go to Son of a Digger's Instagram.

Like, he just posted, like, an in-cam one. And, you know, it seems like we get a lot of air on dirt bikes. Some other people get a lot of air on dirt bikes. Like, dude, his shots are just, whoo. He's up in the nose dreams. Yeah, in a stadium. It's nutty. Probably one of the cooler things in my life.

It was when I walked up and I recognized them, obviously. And they both knew of us. Yeah, it was very cool. I almost blacked out on the spot. I'm like, no, you guys. You guys are the cool guys. So hopefully one day we can go do monster truck stuff. He asked us, he said, you guys got to mess with my dad.

He's, you know, he watches some of your videos. He thinks you guys are funny. And I'm like, bro, I'm not, I'm not going to mess with your dad. He's graved. He's going to put me in a grave, bro. Yeah, can you imagine? Mike goes up. So what you do?

I just didn't. I just said, just said hi. I was like, I can't. I was not going to have. about this and he goes i don't know what am i going to do like the tabletop thing we're like one person like crouches down and then you push the other person he's like mike and iven table top he goes he goes the guy just gets up he's like hey what the hell you and then the sun comes dad dad these are the guys we watch on youtube who you know the spaghetti limo wine it's no

shocking statement that a lot of country music is the same and i i yeah if you hear a country song what would you expect it to contain truck's beer women friday nights oh i like that friday nights uh i saw this ai sponge bob like music video thing and it it captured a hundred percent of exactly what a country song is can go roll the clip uh bar kender just uh just the usual please kelpshake with um extra lean around here it's open carry open bottles too i'm when a I'm always hoping that it's you No, I'm drinking days away At the soul's east of tune

And I might be looking yellow But inside I'm feeling blue That's good Right? That's good I'm loving that. I'm loving that we are on like two sides of TikTok But we're, so that was pretty fire.

I am on the, there's like a rap beef between plankton Mr. Crabbs Squidward, Patrick, and SpongeBob and you guys yeah they use AI it is fire like it's heat it's like Hank trill but even better like plankton's disc track on SpongeBob like actually yeah if you could look up like plankton disc track you do realize what you just said right yeah it's pretty weird that's a real statement yeah bro it's aggressive yeah I'm going to do you already

Sunday's diffy You can't on soggy Your daddy I'm a demon He's your own Rooney Shit goes hard So yeah

And there's a whole bunch of those Mr. Crabs does it SpongeBob Patrick Squidward Sandy does one Like AI is taking over They can do anything

Now that's why there's a writer's strike They're what trying to get rid of AI No I don't think that's like The whole objective of the writer's strike, but I think that partially. The writers are trying to, you know, have something in place to obviously keep their jobs. To protect them?

To protect them and, you know, have more rights, I guess, when it comes to that. Dude, AI is going to take, I mean, everyone's been saying for a long time, a lot of jobs. I think so. My jab. It's just one of, yeah. It's also just funny.

It's like, does that, where does that better us as a society? Like, where did all these people go that lose their jobs to AI. I'm not, I'm not, like, anti-AI and growth, I guess, or, like, anti-technology. But, like, actually, though. There's two sides to it. It's, like, the side that is benefited by, and they're like, oh, this is great.

I don't need to pay someone to do this. And this is doing it on, like, like that. And then there's the side that's, like, got replaced, basically. Yeah. Almost the side of if you're running your own business and you're small and your, let's say your crew is, like, 10 people and you start using AI. and then you don't need any more people, you're like, this is great. And then when your crew's 100 people and you start using AI

and then all of a sudden you don't need 10 people, then it's not so great. Yeah. Well, I mean, look at Walmart. Walmart's like one of the biggest employers in the country. You know, every time I go to Walmart, there's like less checkout lanes and there's more self-checkouts. 2.3 million employees. That's not even AI, though.

No, but it's just automation, computer. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's AI is, I guess, a very, very broad term. But just think a hundred years ago, most jobs people work at today didn't exist. Yeah, true. That's a good point. Very good point. Granted, in 100 years from now, a lot of jobs people think are common today probably will not exist.

It would be standing on a goddamn soapbox preaching to the street. Could you imagine? What's unemployment rate right now? Like, I wonder how much, obviously, the entire government as a whole has a lot to do with the unemployment rate. 3.8%. That's, okay, this seems pretty good, right? way lower than I thought. It's up with a big spike there.

What was that? COVID. And what did we get up to? 15% of the country was unemployed. That's actually less than I thought it would have been. I thought it would have been higher. I think that's the people claiming unemployment, correct? Obviously, unemployment isn't really my schick.

An AI, I don't think is advanced enough yet. So I'm going to outsource my labor like this guy did. I take the money that I would have spent on coffee and pay someone in India to do my job for me. It allowed me to unleash... Yo, don't tell Ken that this is an opportunity. This is old. Koshem, an accountant based in Bangalore India. I get my assignment from my supervisor and I send it off to John Ara.

Sometimes I'll look at it when it's done. Sometimes. Sometimes I'll look at it when it's done. What's this guy doing? Accounting. I'm able to feed my family and Mr. Felton can devote more time to his... No. And Donald is just one of the close to 700,000 workers.

Is this real? I've actually gotten two raises since Jahanar started. I don't think it can read. There's no way. There's no way. This is too funny. The onion on the bottom corner. Oh, dude, the onion is great news.

I didn't see that. I didn't see that. But that was fantastic because the way they shot it, like it was 2008. Dude, the onion has fooled so many moderately intelligent people. Oh, yeah. I can totally see someone of my parents' age. posting like some onion article and being like, can you believe it? This is ridiculous.

Yeah. Can you believe the... Well, that happens. Dude, they made a, uh, they made a movie back in the day and it's... The onion movie? It's so funny. It's funny. They open up the scene with, uh, like an ad for neck belts and...

The neck belt, dude. The chick pulls up, run, like, rear end someone slightly and then has the neck belt on and then the head just flies off through the windshield. Well, to leave you guys with something, I have a nice, a heartfelt story about an Alberta couple who sells off a very impressive collection of John Deere memorabilia. And the caption is,

I wonder whose idea that was. Oh, no. Yeah, pull it up. Look at the guy. She's so happy. And the guy being sad. That's every grandpa ever. Like, that would be my grandpa too.

Like, he auctioned off all of his real John Deere tractors and that set. And then he just wasn't the same since. Oh, man, poor guy. I guess if we can give you anything to lead your week with, a parting note, if your girl comes to you and says, sell your collection of useless things, don't do it. And I guess vice versa, don't ask her to do it either then. Exactly.

And we love you and we thank you for tuning in on every episode. We'll catch you guys next week on a Lifewide Open podcast. Peace.
