Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, only this young once. Might as well just keep doing dumb things. And man, will I deliver? It's weird because people used to not like you, but you haven't really changed. I think they just figured out your humor. We were operating at such a dysfunctional way. A loose program. Where we were living like rock stars.
Starting point is 00:00:22 So dumb. So lucky, honestly. That could have ended us. The NBA season is finally. up and the NFL season is in full swing. The boys and I have been keeping the season exciting with prize picks, even though Minnesota isn't having a great year this year. Prize picks is simple to play.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Just pick more or less on at least two player stats. If you get your picks right, you could cash in. Prize Picks offers Venmo and Apple Pay to cash out. So just download the prize picks app today and use code wide open to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup. That's code wide. open to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup prize picks it is good to be right so ken are you are you watching your
Starting point is 00:01:09 AI videos of yourself right now I actually am dude the SORA videos are out of hand they're completely out of hand yeah no they are very random especially the ones that don't come from you like the ones that you don't make oh yeah yeah yeah we've made any I've made a couple I can't figure it out dude there's thousands of me there's thousands like if I scroll through that just keeps going, I don't even have enough time to watch them all. But there's some, you know, the cream always rises to the top. And, uh, yeah, there is some good ones. I just saw, yeah, I just saw a really good one yesterday.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I have you running up to a ring doorbell in a Cheeto onesie. And you just see all, Seabis Davis. Yeah, a lot of them had a shit ton of likes on it. People really like that one. There's a bunch of hot dogs everywhere. A bunch of cheos. Hey, Mike. Every single Sora video with Mike is something to do with him and a hot dog.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Yeah, I was going to say Mike is, is, is, is, got to be over this, this whole AI thing, because everything is just him sucking down a glizzy. You can take yourself off, right? You can, yeah. But what's the fun in that? Yeah, all the hot dog ones are just unfunny to me. I like that people are making the videos. Like, I think it's fun and it's cool and it's flattering that you'd want to take the time
Starting point is 00:02:18 to make something funny or mess around with it. Like, there's literally nothing you can do on Sora that is going to make me mad or embarrassed because it's just, it's so obviously fake to me. me yeah and even if you yeah that's just a thing but it is funny because i was out to dinner last night with my fiance's dad and i was at a local spot shout out sauced and a gal that was there was like oh yeah like this video is so funny you know of you like the a i video and then my buddy jim who owns sauce looks over goes huh man you were a lot younger back then thought it was real i show him he thought it was real so he literally thought they were real no that's a i what
Starting point is 00:02:58 What do you mean that's AI, you know, like the older generation, they were... Hard to comprehend. Yeah. And then I was showing my fiance's dad and he was like, like, could not believe it. He's like, wasn't clocking. Yeah, he was like, that could be bad. Yeah. So for the listeners right now that don't know what we're talking about, there's this new app.
Starting point is 00:03:18 It's called SORA where it can basically, you type in a prompt and then whatever the prompt is, it'll generate a video off of that prompt. And then if you type in, say, at Micah Sandman, putting makeup on at C.J. Lotzer using a Cheeto as the makeup thing. It'll pull Mike's cameo and C.J.'s cameo because they gave their likeness, it's called, like, permission to use their face. It needs some tweaking. Like if you say, like, me and Ken are on a tandem bicycle and we pull up to C.J. It'll sometimes, like, morph all three of us into, like, one face. have noticed that you have to be so it does need some work yeah yeah haven't generated and then all of a sudden like if it's a Ryan me and CJ CJ's got my beard I have Ryan's voice
Starting point is 00:04:08 oh yeah it is strange but you have to be very like specific with your directions to it to make it extra good like I think like the really really good ones those people like take a lot of time refining yeah you can see the editing and refining you can see the the really good ones the prompt is like You've got to scroll through it. Yeah, it's because you take what you want it to do, and then you type that into chat GPT, and then chat GPT tells you how to make it happen. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Then you punch it in there. Because he's Luis, Luis, so no one's even thinking at all. We're double AI. But also, I do love when it just is super vague. It'll just be like Ken swimming in the Seaboy's pool. Yeah. So it's like that doesn't even exist.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And then all of a sudden he's just saying stuff that it didn't tell. Yeah, I love that. It's weird, dude. Like, it's getting the background of like our shop. It's pretty dialed. I wonder if it's pulling that from online or what. It must be. It's even doing like flames on a blue.
Starting point is 00:05:03 It's not a minotruck, but it's like very close. I think for your, CJ, when you took your, because I noticed I did mine in the hotel in Vegas and the background of the hotel bathroom shows up in some of them. Oh, no shit. They just take your, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:18 This was my favorite one. And it was the very first one created. So CJ gave his likeness and then there was a shit. like CJ's got like thousands of them out there and then like one by one everyone kind of just like added on to it so now there's a bunch of videos that have all of us but it started out just like kind of like one and then CJ and Ryan but this is the very first one that was created after I had set up the account it's still the best dude classic right I told you to keep the certified heavies off the track
Starting point is 00:05:55 Dude, I was like, where's this going? Holy smoke, dude. I slam into it. And then this one, this is a good one, dude. This is a good one, too. This is actually looks like me. Gab, you taking down another heavy in there? Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And then my favorite part about the app is now scroll to the right on that. Someone made that one add a bunch of three wheelers outside. And then someone else added something else. It's my favorite part. Like TikTok, you scroll vertically. But on this, when you hit a trend you like. Hang on, Ben. Got his hat up.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Got his arm. Oh, my gosh. All the women are. So, like, if you hit a trend you like, you can swipe to the side. Gav actually just gave his likeness, and he signed up for the app. I was texting. I'm like, dude, you got to get it in on this. I don't know how long this is going to last.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Maybe it's just a fad or a wave right now. I can see it being kind of a fad. I think people are going to get sick of it. Like, because it's not, it will get better, but I could still see it being a fad. You know what I liked about it is it's like the effort to make a TikTok. Somebody just talked about that like that To make a movie, a TV show, a YouTube video, a TikTok Like a TikTok's already super low
Starting point is 00:07:02 But this one, you legitimately to make a TikTok You don't even have to get out of bed You just type it in. Like I had that one silly pizza one where CJ is like eating pizza And I'm like, I love pepperoni And then I remade it as a joke As fast as I humanly could, one take everything And it still took me 10 minutes to recreate it
Starting point is 00:07:19 Versus 10 seconds to type it Now you don't have to leave your bed to make a piece of content. What AI engine does Sora use? Chat GPT. Okay, they use. So coming into this, I just want to preface this,
Starting point is 00:07:31 when you were talking about the Jake Paul videos, I thought that Sora was like a good AI and people happened to be using it to make like TikTok-esque videos. Now I'm understanding what their whole goal with it is and Jake Paul investing. And like, it's like made to be TikTok. It's made to be like Cap Cut and TikTok together
Starting point is 00:07:51 because like you can go into Cap-Cut. Is it, is it meant to be like a social media? Yeah, that's what I'm getting it. Yeah, and I didn't realize that. Not just an AI video generator. It's truly like a short form platform like Vine and TikTok. I guess I noticed it, but I was still like, ah, this is the last thing I want to do is like have another social media that's not even like all of these are fake. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:08:15 It's like the lowest tier of rock. Well, Ben just got on like when people, they're obviously already making them of you right now. You refresh it and you got 20 more. You can scroll like you're watching TikTok of just cameos of you. Yeah. It just gets to be too long for me. But I do appreciate it and I watch them. I love when people play out a situation that, like remember when you're talking
Starting point is 00:08:37 about the 5,000 pennies thing, then I go on SORA and I see a video of me getting 5 million pennies turning it into a giant penny. Yeah, you could literally be taking our podcast stories, putting them into SORA and then making a visual depiction of it. I think there already is a lot of those, too, because when I was scrolling, I was like, how do people know these jokes? Or like, a lot of them were like inside jokes. Like, I saw one mic that said, fuck your chicken nuggets.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Fuck you chicken strips. Your chicken strips. I was like, when have we said that out online before? I love that. At some point, because there's, you know, just pull dialogue from something. I don't know. Like inside jokes. And, yeah, I guess that's just what happens when you share your entire life online.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Have you guys gone into the draft cameos that you can see the people. haven't published. Yeah. Some of those are so bad. You can like scroll your drafts of, of videos that people made of you without actually post down. What? It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:32 There's so many. AI is only going to get better. Like the fact that this is the beginning. Yeah. I mean, it isn't insane where it is going to be. It's impressive right now, but yeah, it's not perfect, but it will be good. Like it's going to be even better in five years. It's going to be light years better.
Starting point is 00:09:52 100%. Just look at how much AI has advanced, like, from a consumer standpoint in the last two years. I mean, you listen to Elon. Like, he's been saying it for years. He's like, with AI, we are going to be progressing so much faster. Like, it's just going to be compounding. Do you think we're cooked as YouTubers? No.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I think there's still a desire for original content. And as we mentioned, YouTube made this whole thing, like, they're not pushing content that's AI. Yeah. AI audio, AI video. I'm actually wondering about it. about that like can we even show the videos that we just showed or is youtube going to flag it as like i think it's so original like it's like if your whole content spiel is just that like you're not even a real person because there is channels that like the character in the face that people think
Starting point is 00:10:38 is real this has been going on for years they think it's a real person but it's just an ai and it's just like a script and they talk and like i mean they can be running like 10 channels at once and i mean none of them are probably like that's so great even close to our side and but you get 10, 15, 20, you're not even doing anything. Some guys are doing that with creating chicks, like good-looking girls, and then creating, like, O-F accounts with these girls and then making a ton of money off of these fake girls. Dude, it isn't.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Like, that seems insane. That's a whole other topic. So this is kind of an interesting take that I was just thinking of last night. So, backstory to this, Fortnite just integrated this new Simpsons map, right? So it's like Simpsons broke, and I grew up watching the Simpsons. I still like them. I don't necessarily watch them now, but I've never really played Fortnite. I've never really liked that.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I didn't like the building thing, but I was just, like, bored this weekend, and it was Sunday. I was like, whatever. I'm going to download and try it. I started playing it. I started getting better. I'm not good by any means. I'm way better at Call Duty. You still get.
Starting point is 00:11:41 I get smoked. Yeah, you get smoked by any of those. But it is so fun playing on the Simpsons map. You go into the houses. Ev, it is fun. Evan's not. I love it. You've been playing.
Starting point is 00:11:49 It's sick. Yeah. I've went probably, it was like last winter, I went through a quick little Fortnite phase and then didn't touch it for eight months, but I've been playing again the last couple of weeks. The Simpsons map is sick. What's that Simpson's game that's like Simpsons hit and run? That was my favorite game on the GameCube, dude. That was a fun game.
Starting point is 00:12:06 It was like GTA, but it was rated T so you can kind of get, not even close to GTA, but you could free roam and like kick people basically steal cars, whatever. So anyways, my point though, with these Fortnite characters, dude, it is so interesting because everyone's got their character in this world and there's some pretty promiscuous looking women on there so I get the base character sometimes I'm a man sometimes I'm a girl
Starting point is 00:12:30 like I don't have anything special going on here but when I got the girl I'm sitting there in third person running behind it I'm like this girl she's kind of got a dump on her she's kind of got a dump on her no no that's you
Starting point is 00:12:46 it's interesting Mike there's family guy characters Bob's Burgers, Simpsons. You can have so many different characters, but there's some, like, I mean, there's characters that are basically like an anime hot chick. Premium skins. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, dude, these little boys are probably like, fired up.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Fired up. If you're fired up, they probably are. I mean, by no means was fired up, but I thought to myself, I thought to myself, they knew what they were doing when they shaped this girl's behind. Her Boston, whatever else. They got forked knife characters.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I love when you. He's just possible. And for $4.99, you can get an even bigger one. That's the thing. Oh, shit. You can upgrade to BBL. You can give the, you can give her a BBL. I don't know about that. I don't, I don't think you can do that.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Well, there's different characters. Well, there's different characters. Like, yeah, you can get, it's insane. So anyways, it's, it's a whole new thing where we could be cooked as a society. Like, they talk about watching the P word online and how less and less guys are having actual sex now because it's just way easier to just go. jerk one out to that and like you get the dope me but now I'm like you're not you're not even be doing it to a real
Starting point is 00:13:55 you're not even going to turn it off no you're not even going to be doing it to a real human to your point they're going to be doing it to fucking animated people now and that's when you're really cooked that is when you're cooked like you need to just get out go talk to a girl versus doing that shit and our friend Jake last time he was on
Starting point is 00:14:16 Jake Sherbrook he talked about how he's been rebelling against watching those videos online honestly at the time i thought yeah you know that's good but the more i was thinking about it like it's definitely a good road to go down especially for like a young man like i think it's a slippery slope that society's going down with these ai and then the fucking video game characters getting us ready for the robot cj brother well they already they know what they're doing you got robot girlfriends and stuff it is yeah what happens Everything is only going to get in that direction better. Bro, what happens when Tesla comes out with, like, a thick Latina robot?
Starting point is 00:14:55 Dude, I'm not going to lie. If your Tesla sucked you off while driving, you'd have to buy it. Dude, I think Elon knows better. I think Elon knows better. He knows society to be cooked. Yeah, he would. I mean. Ken, what are you getting, Ken's waiting on this, dude?
Starting point is 00:15:12 That's what he's waiting on, these fucking robots. I'm not buying any of that shit. I'll let the car drive, but I'm, I'm not buying any of these little houses. He's going in. He's staying old-fashioned inflatable. This episode is brought to you by prize picks. You see, you and I make decisions every single day.
Starting point is 00:15:30 But on prize picks, being right can get you paid. Don't miss any of the excitement this sports season. On prize picks, whether you're a football fan, a basketball fan, or a fan of both. Like me, it always feels good to be right. The NBA season is firing up and the NFL season is in full swing. The boys and I have been keeping the season exciting with prize picks, even though Minnesota isn't having a great year this year. Prize picks is simple to play.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Just pick more or less on at least two player stats. If you get your picks right, you could cash in. Price picks their users first, so all withdrawals are fast and secure. Honestly, playing prize picks is so fun. All the boys are sent in our picks in the group chat on Sunday mornings. And then later in the day, we see who was right and who wasn't. prize picks offers venmo and apple pay to cash out so just download the prize picks app today and use code wide open to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup that's code wide open to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup prize picks it is good to be right Tina yeah well that video is like our fourth or fifth YouTube video we had like a blow up doll like that and we were joking around with then we had it on dirt by you It was so stupid, but took that video down.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Had to. It wasn't that weird until you got in the hot tub with it naked. That was the best part in my opinion, though. That's true. I did get in the hot tub with it. Listen, man, what are we at? Fucking, like, 700 videos or something like that? 550.
Starting point is 00:17:02 550. You're going to have a couple questionable acts in it, you know? Oh, a ton, dude. So on the last video, we just hit 5 million subscribers. Shout out to everyone that's subscribe to the main channel. thank you guys on the on the last video that we just posted we had a shop tour or a whole compound tour and during the compound tour you know we kept referencing like old videos or you know just moments that made like certain spots on the compound special and so I was just watching through
Starting point is 00:17:30 all these old videos just like screen recording them to you know overlay during the video I was like holy shit this is why we didn't hit a million subscribers for the first five years of making YouTube videos we were so stupid but also it was pretty funny I was laughing the whole time Ken you have always been funny dude you've always been funny but your humor has
Starting point is 00:17:55 changed it's weird because people used to not like you but you haven't really changed I think they just figured out your humor I feel like I have changed in the last 10 years no you you've definitely changed but like the shit you were saying in old videos I was like
Starting point is 00:18:12 This is so funny. Ken has always been funny. And why did people not, why was he not the fan favorite from day one? I was watching these videos. I was like Ken's comedic timing is unmatched. I hate all those old videos. I do too.
Starting point is 00:18:27 But yours were hilarious, I thought. We say it took so long to hit a million subscribers because of doing dumb shit like that. But if we had never done all the dumb things, we would have never hit it either, you know? So it's all, something's better than nothing.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Yeah, no, I think it all. it all obviously happened for a reason. Yeah. Like everything happened for a reason. The timing all worked out. I remember Casey Nistad talking on it. Like hitting one million is way harder than hitting two. And then hitting two is harder and three.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Like it's like a snowball. And I mean, it's so true. Because you also got to think like, yeah, our Vids back then, like some of them, there's definitely some cringy moments and just like some lame shit. But also we just weren't working with the tools that we have now because you got to build up to this. Yeah. Yeah, you know. And also we didn't have the camera skills.
Starting point is 00:19:15 We didn't have the editing skills. Like, we were still working and building. I can't be embarrassed by SORA videos because I got fucking 200 videos. I mean, actually doing some dumb shit. So, like. And now you're right. We have built, I mean, it's not like we're not going to innovate and whatever. But the only thing that's not going to get us to 10 million is stopping.
Starting point is 00:19:33 It's the only thing. Yeah, we just keep at it. But I guess when we say dumb shit, too, people might think that we mean, like, stupid or dangerous. dangerous things that's not what we mean by that because we still do that shit yeah i mean what we mean is just like we were operating at such a dysfunctional way a loose program it was just stupid shit where we're like i look back and we're like why did we do that or the way the like the or the structure of the video like an idea was executed it was like that was just executed so poorly yeah and then if you execute the idea poorly you can't even edit it to make it good like there's such a list
Starting point is 00:20:12 of things it's like you got to have a good idea then you got to execute it properly then you have to make sure the filming was done properly and then it has to be edited properly and then packaged properly and put out on the internet like there's so many steps to it and if one of those steps fails like for instance let's just say you did the most amazing thing but the filming was off boom that's it and let's just say then you go a step further instead the filming was perfect but it was edited poorly might as well just throw it all away like you need all all of them to hit. And it is kind of like a domino effect, too.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Like if one of the earlier ones doesn't work, you can't really fix it afterwards. I'm just so glad that we were able to figure it out and build upon the foundation of it. Because, man, it was not. It was not, yeah. It was not fun to watch back and just know, like, oh, we were just missing so many things.
Starting point is 00:21:05 But we were doing it. We were doing it, which I think is 90% of the battle. It was fun, though, dude. I kind of miss those times. I don't want to go back, but it was just fun. I don't even think you could if you tried. Well, I definitely couldn't, but, but, like, it was just, there's something about it. Like, I was just a different person in terms of, like, you're just a different animal when you're in it.
Starting point is 00:21:26 I do, honestly. And I'm sure we'll look back later on ourselves now and be like, man, we were just a different, but, like, we were really just. So I would try to enjoy every, like, every time, like so many times I go, well, only this young wants, might as well just. I'll just keep doing dumb things. And honestly, the number one... And man, will I deliver? The number one thing I remember about all that stuff, just chalk it up as, man, that was fun.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Yeah. Like the number one thing I remember about, what was it like? It was so fun. Living in the loft at the old shop? Yeah, everything about it. I never once was like, I wish my situation was better.
Starting point is 00:22:03 I think the only thing we cared about was making good content. Yeah, just like getting more views. Yeah. But it wasn't like cringe either. where we were, like, closing our families off because we're like, yeah, once they started the YouTube, we didn't hear much from them. Like, we were still normal.
Starting point is 00:22:18 But, like, that's about all we thought about. We were living, like, rock stars, though. I feel like we took on this lifestyle. We're like, we're going to fucking live, like, rock stars. It is so good that we didn't have more money. I know. Yeah, I was like, we would have died. We were living like rock stars.
Starting point is 00:22:35 We were living like our versions of rock stars. When you think of, like, living like, living like rock stars, like, movie, blah, blah, blah. Like, no, we, we were. We, it was pretty tame in that aspect of it. We got a free hot tub from our buddy. We put that shit in the shop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:47 And then we were like, we were like, holy shit. We got a new hot tub. Should we throw a party tonight? Yeah. It's a Tuesday afternoon. Invite everyone over. We were always partying. We were so hung over on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:22:59 We were like, fuck it. Chalked the whole day up. I just remember like going to the fridge at like, maybe it's 11.30 and like, I'm maybe like shipping out some orders. I look, just grab a pounder beer. Fuck it. I start drinking a beer like, what? the fuck like you know it's not normal but when you're young you can do that too like you'd just
Starting point is 00:23:17 like be completely fine like if you just wouldn't drink a beer in the middle of the day like a pounder and you didn't keep drinking you're kind of gonna be tired you know like and evans nod and like you would like you'd have to keep you either have to keep drinking yeah or you'd have to just yeah i don't know but yeah i'd just be clapped if i did that now but like thinking back to like when we got our first maverick i remember we were just like dude we made it and we got a side by side boys and it's fast that thing everywhere. Yeah. We ripped that thing. It's awesome. One of our boys
Starting point is 00:23:48 came home and just fucking end over and crashed it. Yeah. Oh yeah. And that's the things that come with owning a side by side. Yeah. We learn real quick what owning a side by side was like. Let's tell that story. Let's tell that story. So we're out at Zorba's partying and then Zorba's closes. Let's go back to the shop and keep partying. We always, everyone's
Starting point is 00:24:10 always welcome. Everyone comes over to the shop. Who knows? It's probably 2.30 in the morning at this point. One of our friends hops in the side by side with just another girl that we don't even know hops in, starts fucking ripping around, driving the thing like 80, endos the shit out of it. They get ejected out of the side by side. They didn't have seatbelts on. So fucking lucky. They didn't get hit. They both get up and like are relatively fine.

Starting point is 00:26:13 We went to Seema One day We were down wind From Seema We could hear it We saw some of the cars Leave later Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:21 And then yeah CJ Evan and I And Dalton stayed back But yeah How was like How was the Hoonicorn insane So first of all Looks visually
Starting point is 00:26:30 It's insane But everything They're building Is out of like Thick Aluminum and metal. Smart.
Starting point is 00:26:37 So like the splitter is like Ken hung on the splitter. I sat on the splitter and it didn't even budge. Did they want you to? No. Well he was like yeah
Starting point is 00:26:46 you can sit on this. And I was like, you can sit on this and I was like okay and then I sat on it and it didn't budge at all. Yeah. So everything's super strong
Starting point is 00:26:55 and I said they're trying to make it you proof. If you hit a tree this time the tree's just gonna you're just gonna slice through it with that. It's gonna use the splitter like a knife.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Smart. Yeah. It was also sick like It got a lot of attention. Yeah. Like, it was on the quantum, that crazy welding table that he got to straighten it out. And, dude, people were just, like, freaking underneath it looking, like. Yeah, it's a work of art, right?
Starting point is 00:27:17 It's cool. It's unbelievable. Yeah, it's so cool. I was chatting with him, and I was like, how much you think he got into this right now? He goes, I would bet right now as it sits, keep in mind, no interior, not tuned, not painted, none of the things. He goes, probably like 200 grand. No. What?
Starting point is 00:27:34 Lamborghini money. Plus, we had our 80 grand into it. Yeah. What? Yeah. I mean, that many hours and that much metal. Shout out of Robbie Leighton. Basically, the whole car is new.
Starting point is 00:27:46 The only existing body panels are the roof and the trunk lid. That's it. Everything else is like brand new. The frame is all new. It's insane. My dad actually is the one keeping me up to date on what's going on on the Hoonicorn build because I don't want to watch his videos because I want to be surprised. I want to see it for the first time
Starting point is 00:28:06 and, like, go over all the details with him in person and get my honest, genuine reaction of being amazed. But my dad has watched every minute of Robbie's videos that he's put out. Once you do see it, you should go back and scrub them because, like, it's... I know, and now I'm debating because now, now I'm after Seema, I see it all over my feed. It's crazy. It's everywhere. Yeah, it's everywhere. So I'm like, I'll, like, start watching a video and then it'll pop up.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I'm like, damn it. I see like one more thing that each time I'm like, holy shit. It looks so cool. So at this point, I've maybe seen enough where I could probably just go back. Because I owe it, I owe it to Robbie. I got to give him every view that he deserves on you. So I feel like, I feel bad for not watching them, but I want to be surprised for it. But my dad's just like, he's excited.
Starting point is 00:28:55 He's like, you don't know the level of detail that's going into this thing. Like you will be mind blown. And he was like, I cannot believe that somebody. is doing this for you guys yeah one of the nicest things ever done for us ever oh lucky are we crazy yeah i mean it's pretty cool i was talking to robbie about that i go dude like it's been a dream of all of ours to have a car at sema like how crazy that you made that come true and i kind of was like yeah you know like it's different because we're we're not building it you know our guys aren't and he goes well technically gavin helped with the headers hooking that connection up and he goes also look
Starting point is 00:29:29 around, dude. None of these cars here are owned by the guy standing next to him. He goes, it's some guy somewhere else who paid for the bill to happen. I go, you're right. It's also super unique at Seema because every other car is, you know, polished and completely
Starting point is 00:29:45 finished. This one was the only car where it's like midway through building or restoring it. That's really cool. Everything else is you know, like Seema ready, like looks perfect. No drive shafts and shit. And they did that because it was on like a welding table and it was like in that booth yeah yeah so Robbie got a sponsorship from quantum quantum they loved it they were stoked so Robbie got a sponsorship from quantum tables
Starting point is 00:30:10 welding tables yeah so like they had the car on top of one of their tables there but uh just cut to the chase of the other sick part was uh the horsepower rodeo you know think the first time we went to sema it was the hoonigan burnout pit which is still there as well i think that was the first time they did it yeah and people most people Loved it. And then some people were like, what the hell? I can't even hear. I can't breathe.
Starting point is 00:30:33 They can't see. I saw a lot of comments saying, Seema was ruined, quote unquote, ruined by all the burnouts and the smoke and shit. It's just boomers being pissed about it. But, yeah, so now they're like doubling. You know, they have the Optima Drift Pit and then they have Weston's horsepower rodeo. And they saw the owner to get paid. Oh, so the horsepower rodeo is put on by Weston.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah. That's sick. Yeah. Good for him. they so he's i think he's kind of in charge of like getting all the burnout teams there and then like they had like long travel trucks jumping they had a Harley stunt crew there and the craziest part was like i don't know who's insuring this event or whatever like if it falls under the sema insurance but when they send they sent 10 Chevy single cab shavis out there
Starting point is 00:31:18 my goodness you would have loved it oh pro chef yeah they're just like free for all and some guys like 50 around the outside some guys doing small donuts in here some of them are hitting each other multiple fires multiple vehicles start on fire i learned a secret about this apparently they're filling i don't know about these guys but there is guys out there that are filling their tires with gasoline so when the tires pop they explode that's pretty smart but like one guy like legitimately burned down his truck to the point of where i'm standing there going he's got to get out of that car like i mean it's fully engulfed in flames and he kept going and he kept going bouncing off the chip no he's just yeah he's bounced off the chip standing still and i'm like
Starting point is 00:31:58 What's he waiting for? And then a long travel truck comes and jumps like 60 feet over him. And I go, oh. Some of the craziest rollbacks I've ever seen. The one dude, he was doing a rollback and he got within like a couple feet of the barricade. Right up. They were good job as you should. As all rollbacks should.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Yeah. We need some barricades on the track. Some jersey barriers. Doing roll back. Rollbacks just into an empty party line. Honestly, those guys drifting those trucks was more entertaining than I think anything else they had going on there. And then I talked to one. the one dude and it's just like the oldest
Starting point is 00:32:30 Shev just ripping the craziest rollbacks and he got hit by another dude and then I talked to him like dude I'm so bum that truck was sick like your box is all crinkled the cab's all crinkled and he goes I was fine I'll just replace them I'm like I'll just replace the box in the cab and then he's like yeah he's like this is a seventh
Starting point is 00:32:46 box on the third cab I've had on the truck I'm like oh this is your life then destroy them yeah it was it was pretty cool different different breed I did like the uh the like couch on the truck that Weston and Gavin were on. That was sick.
Starting point is 00:33:01 That's fitting. Gavin looked good. Was there any seatbelts on that? Oh, they had a ratchet strap. A ratchet strap. That didn't get hooked up properly. Say like,
Starting point is 00:33:08 you know, like when you press a ratchet strap down and then it unhooks from what it's unhooked on, it just did that immediately. And then I took the ratchet strap from Gavin because it was like hanging back to the tire. I was like,
Starting point is 00:33:19 this is going to be worse than having a... You know who is living like a rock star? Gavin. That guy's all over doing so much stuff. It's cool to like kind of watch him grow as, like, a person and a character, too. Like, he's really doing a good job of, like, living that role.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Like, he's always on. We were Gavin's plus ones at this thing. How sick is that? They go, they were like, who are you here with? And I'm like, uh, Shred 80. They're like, okay, well, you only get three people. I'm like, shit, we've got nine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:48 And did Shred come up and he buff it over? They're good, baby. Let's him right. Get right in there. He's on the couch three minutes later doing burnouts out there. hyping up the crowd i mean shreds the man we we've we've said it forever but our generation's greatest entertainer he is you're just on esPN yeah you don't know what dude this guy's popping up on every youtube channel he's popping up on every social media everywhere on every big page
Starting point is 00:34:12 he's everywhere dude espn gav you remember that one guy espn ron he was a wheelie boy back in the day and he popped off and just doing some crazy two-stroke wheelies on the street and he changed his name from Ron to ESPN Ron. So I think since GAV's been on ESPN so much. Money Ron. Money Ron was what it was originally. And now it's ESPN Ron. Yeah. I think it should be fucking ESPN. He got an ESPN chain.
Starting point is 00:34:36 We should get GAVA. That's amazing. Bro, we should. That'd be nice of us. You've been on ESPN. Yeah, I was like, I'm pretty sure you've had like four clips probably. Yeah. It's like been there, dumb. Soft blades, ice bikes.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Yeah. Dude, I can, which one of me? A couple different ice clips. I think, dude, like some, some crazy son. Probably a smart car real. Or, like, yeah, or front flip, mini-truck. Oh, the mini-truck, I think, did ESPN. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Or, yeah. Any truck. ESPN, bad. Yeah, so we'll grab you a chain, too, brother. All right. But, yeah, dude, I hitched a ride with some subs out of the, like, the Seema Parade, which is really fun. And, dude, they had this huge duly on, like, an 18-a-dooly ram on 18-inch lift, like,
Starting point is 00:35:16 fricking. Front drive shaft? It did have a front drive-raft, and people were checking, too. Like, on the parade, they're like, I see you. Does that thing work? Yep And then 18 inch lift 18 inch lift with 30 inch rims and 40
Starting point is 00:35:30 Had to be the biggest truck ever inch tires How was it huge? I mean it was like fun It took us like an hour just to get like out of SEMA But then I saw we got out into the strip And I'm just like there's sick cars everywhere Lambo's huge trucks
Starting point is 00:35:45 And then I see Weston driving his couch I didn't get a video but I see him Currising the other way on on his couch And then that just, that was, that made my day. We were in an Uber going from one casino to the next. And I look ahead a few cars. I'm like, how that Lamborghini looks at? It sounds pretty good.
Starting point is 00:36:04 And then we get a couple cars closer. It's like, oh my gosh, that's Tim, our Lambo winner. Yeah. In our giveaway. That's crazy. It looks sick. Met up with them, had dinner. And you guys did.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Yeah. You went out with them. Oh, that's right. Shred AIDS was climbing all over his Lambo. We might have had a couple. at dinner and he was like Gavin get on top of the car get on the car dude if I want a Lamborghini I'd have people climbing on it too he's got 12,000 miles on that thing he's he's put on it since he got as he should yeah as he should more dude he seems like he's driving that thing
Starting point is 00:36:38 everywhere everywhere yeah that's sure it probably wasn't before he went home he just like lightly topped it out on the salt flats on the way back home how fast did you get it to 173 I believe oh that's it's yeah it'll go faster that that's why I said lightly I think he had more in it but i think on salt that's pretty yeah that's pretty good dude 175 as how that is that for the car oh well you saw what happened to our shifter cards when we took them to the salt flats they have it rusted yeah immediately after you got to make sure you get the under yeah but like every nut and bolt lift that thing up just just running through a touch car wash a couple times a couple times you're gonna need more than that yeah he had his viper buddy
Starting point is 00:37:15 out there and he was like doing donuts and the salt build up on the back just Salt Flats is such a cool place. It is amazing. It's a wonder of the world, dude. You lick the ground, it tastes like salt. Remember when we drove all the way there to find out it was flooded? Yeah. What time was it?
Starting point is 00:37:31 A hell of a sunrise, though. Hell of a sunrise. It was probably one of the best. But then we went down the road to... Sandhogs. No, no, no, no. Noles. Noles.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Nol's. It ended up being really fun. Yeah, we filmed a sweet video there. Climbed in some caves. Oh, yeah. Got to monetized. You're taking down. Good time.
Starting point is 00:37:52 So while we were fucking off in Vegas, what did you guys do? I was deer hunting, and I feel like I've been like, well, this is the second Vegas trip that I missed out on. Good for you, bud. Wow. I'm proud of you. Congratulations. And, yeah, I mean, I always have FOMO in the moment, and then you guys come home and
Starting point is 00:38:06 you say that. It makes me feel better. It's because you're not there, bud. You weren't there. It would have been more fun if you were there. If you and Cs were there, I would have been a lot more fun. I do appreciate that. But no, I stayed home and I went deer hunting.
Starting point is 00:38:17 It was a deer opener. in Minnesota so I was like well I can go to Vegas whenever but you can only deer hunt two weeks a year please tell me you got one didn't even see a buck you didn't avenge me bro didn't even see a buck Ryan you hit him all right yeah yeah you kind of cleared out the county but taking them out early yeah so no it wasn't it wasn't good one guy two guys actually in our camp shot like monsters oh really that's good yeah and to take a look at those yeah I'll show you yeah and And then, yeah, I didn't see a single buck full time. Break that muzzle loader out, but it was fun.
Starting point is 00:38:53 It was fun. I felt like I was in Vegas. I was shaking dice. Oh, fun. Yeah, I took 500 bucks off of our buddy Brandt. Oh, that had to feel good. Oh, it felt so good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Felt so good. And then the next morning, I turned around and I gave all that money to my brother. Mm. Yeah. Lost it all. Classic. Yeah. Classic.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Yeah. I thought you guys gambled. You just gave it to him? No, no. No. Yeah. Yeah. He won it fair and square from me.
Starting point is 00:39:18 You definitely came out better than if you were in Vegas then. Yeah. I did, yeah, for sure. I only lost $200 on that trip, so I'd say that's a win. And Ken Campbell's hard. I know. All I saw was Ken just going up to a slot machine putting $100 in and just doing this. Like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:39:34 I'm trying to get to a bonus because you only win money in a bonus. Like, you can either spend a half hour pushing the button or you just go get it over in 10 seconds. My hand pay on huff and puff and puff was just through the lines. Really? That's crazy. actually. It was all the big the piggy with the suit. Oh, the business pig? The business pig. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:39:54 I damn near blacked out the screen on business pigs. How about you, CJ? What'd you do? I saw you guys. Played Fortnite. Got a horned up. Played Fortnite. Alex, wonder why you were so sweaty while you were gaming? Yeah, that's normal. No, I didn't really game that much. I probably played like
Starting point is 00:40:12 an hour and a half, but spent the rest of the day jerking. Oh, no. Oh, no. I don't know what I did. I can't remember. You guys put up Christmas decorations. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Alex put up Christmas stuff on Sunday. Is that legal? She loves Christmas. And she feels a little early, huh? It is early, but it is. You're supposed to wait until Thanksgiving. Isn't that the rules? It's a Friday after Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I came back from the airport and she had Christmas music playing on the speaker. Oh, no. That's a little weird. I don't know why. I really like it. It just puts you in a good mood. It's just like, it's kind of calming, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:47 At least the music. She plays is, like, really calming. It's like jazz. Exactly. So why not have that for two months instead of one? CJ starts listening to jazz. I've been listening to it. That's what she plays, bro.
Starting point is 00:41:00 It's like Christmas music jazz. Now, this is nice. It's called having class, Ben. It's called having class. Holy shit, did we all live different weekends? These guys were in Vegas being degenerates, and you were listening to jazz at home. I know I did. I just can't remember what I did.
Starting point is 00:41:23 I don't remember anything. So you post the video Thursday night, then, you know, you got some sleep, I hope. And then what did your Friday look like? I don't remember Mike. Did you go to a gym? I'm not alive, but that's funny. Because you're all your time. Yes, he does.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Yes, he does. He was playing Fortnite. I didn't start playing Fortnite. He was playing Fortnite. He was playing Fortnite. He didn't play until Sunday, and we were all home by then. Let me see if I can figure this. Who doesn't remember what they did four days ago?
Starting point is 00:41:56 I might have pictures. Let me see. I'm asking for Friday and Saturday, and that was... I don't know what the fuck I did. Saturday I went shopping with Alex. Nice in the land of the fargo. Because I took a picture of a picture that I was thinking about buying. Nice, nice.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Maybe I went to the gym. You know, I worked out, a cold plunge, a sauna. I was talking with Jay. a lot jake called me like literally every 10 minutes and we'd be chatting um yeah because he's trying to buff things over yeah after blowing the hot dogs all over yeah so not only did he spray hot dogs all over but he needed help with some stuff like the back end of his YouTube stuff so I was trying to help him but I really don't know he's got a lot of much help we talked about the hot dogs yet no they haven't we haven't we can leave it as it but you'll you guys will see it in two weeks
Starting point is 00:42:44 But yeah, so that was kind of it, I think. Watch football, of course, on Sunday. I had to watch the bikes. That was really nice. Yeah, that was tough. Yeah, dude, I don't have any good stories. It's all good. Yeah, that's okay.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Yeah, we put you on the spot there. Asking you what you were doing and shit. That wasn't cool. I did see a lot of guys that posted Instagram stories of the deer they shot. And some of them straight up looked like first year baby deer. I was like, I can't believe you won. had the balls to shoot this thing and two fucking post it to get down on your hands and knees down here and hold up this little baby dear head dude like if you call out Ryan dude I don't know
Starting point is 00:43:28 were there comments were there comments like bro I don't know Ryan's like dude I hit that on the way to the gym in the morning no every day I mean they were like if you shot it for your you know nine year old first year out like I'm like okay you gave them the experience but there's literally it'd be like posting a picture with a well that's kind of funny I feel like it's less funny if you went out and got
Starting point is 00:43:53 your first six pointer you'd probably be pretty hyped no I actually for sure saw one that was just straight up a dough okay no no rack tiny little fucking beer everyone everyone listening my 14 is the level like
Starting point is 00:44:09 you can shoot a dough you could even shoot a button bucks i'm sure the meat's good but like don't post about it you're grabbing the ears holding the head up like what no i just pictured like he was holding it like because there's no antlers to grab and he was like holding it by the side and his like whole hand like went around the head of it it was so tiny find this picture i just got to see it was on snapchat i remember i mean it's it's gone cousin joe shot one that was so small one year they always look bigger when they're all hyped up and you realize this thing was like the size of a dog so we have a picture of him holding it like a fish he's holding it out from his body to like make it look bigger but
Starting point is 00:44:50 i think it had to be like freaking 60 pounds field dress i have a buddy fuck it i'll say his name elliott he so elliott shot a uh the like the smallest deer you've ever seen like it damn near still had spots on it It was like a faun. And back when we were in high school, and he had posted a picture, he sent a picture in the group chat. And it's like, like Evan said, it's like, Ryan, you'd be pretty stoked, too. If you shot a six point buck for your first time, like, it feels cooler than it looks, right?
Starting point is 00:45:29 Every time. Every time, right? So he sends, it might have been his first tier in the group chat, right? To this day, every single deer season. Everyone always like, if you're in a stand And there's like a font that comes up Like zoom in Oh Elliot, you just shot this thing
Starting point is 00:45:47 20 minutes ago Yeah, just like the classic Like you become that guy Yeah What happens if you shoot a baby Can you get in trouble for that or no? Obviously it's just like morally fucked up It's like
Starting point is 00:46:00 I don't know I had a dough and a fawn That were chilling for like 10, 15 minutes Right under my stand I didn't see any box Didn't shoot anything But it was cool to just be 15 yards away and watch them.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Oh, dude, it's still sick. It's still sick. It's still sick. It's sitting at hunting. Like, they never knew I was there. Yeah. They were just living their life and wandered off. It's got to be hard deer hunt with you ripping some animals.
Starting point is 00:46:23 You're all in this. It's like a natural smell. It sounds like a grunt call and then the smell, they must think there's some good treats or something. Yeah. Yeah. The cool part of all doughs that come in is usually if a dough comes in hot, it's being chased by buck so a lot of times if you're sitting there you're not seeing shit and a dough comes in you're stoked to see the dough but if like this dough is moving kind of hot more times than not it's because
Starting point is 00:46:51 it's like running away from a buck it's being chased by a man it's being chased yeah by a dog and uh and so that's when like if a dough is coming through hot and you get your gun ready and you're just like waiting and then if the buck pops out you're like holy shit and then that's when like the buck fever really hits because like you're like you're just like you're You kind of anticipate it coming, and then it pops up, and you're like, oh, it's time. Dude, I wish that you guys could, honestly, you just got to come hunting with me. You got to get your hunter's safety. You got to come out with me, and you can experience buck fever.
Starting point is 00:47:24 And as soon as you do, you'll be like, oh, this is sick. This is why they do it. And then you'll shoot a six point. I'm posing no fucking picture of it, though. You can pose a phone because you're going to be so proud. So stoked. Yeah, right. But also a six point.
Starting point is 00:47:38 It's kind of like rod size. like you could have a six point that's tiny or you have a six point that's like kind of big yeah talking about what are you talking about rods size like what are you talking about take you get you get take two white guys that are the same height and same build they they don't got the same rod size Jesus Christ you're going to be a lot more happy that was a very weird way to yeah that was a weird one saying some racks are more girthy than others correct correct Some really sprout up. I mean, most times the six, I don't, I've never seen a girthy six points.
Starting point is 00:48:16 But you've seen a long six. You've seen a long six before. I don't know. I don't know. And I prefer to not talk about the girth of these six points. You could step it up to an eight. There's such a thing as a small eight and there's such a thing as a big eight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Clip that. Clip that. Yeah. What are your thoughts on that, Ken? clip it i've i've never hunted before so and ken some people on that couch should maybe stay that way yeah both of us no cj would be fine you i'd be walking through the woods
Starting point is 00:48:53 head to toe and blaze orange and i'd still be concerned about you sorry i'm gonna shoot it off drop his gun in the stand it blow through the side oh fuck fucking shoot through the other you think I'd be most excited if one of you guys shot one I don't know if you've experienced like field dressing a deer but I think that would be pretty funny now it's laying there it's like now what now you guys like toss you a knife right cut his balls off get after it rip it rip it's asshole out like it's pretty I'll just join riding with my car yeah there you go
Starting point is 00:49:28 oh you keep driving until you find another one can't get he hits a deer with his cyber truck and he's like ooh what a rush man they weren't I saw a good old Tesla hit and run in Vegas. Just wandering out on the street and I was like, oh, there's some sick cars going by. I should grab a video. And like right as I look up, like kind of start taking my phone out, I see this Tesla hauling and I'm like, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:55 split second thought was, dude, these guys are going to hit somebody. See him slam their brakes? Ram into someone else and then just peel out. Tesla style. They must have been distracted by their suck attachment. Yeah. And then the other car, like, drives after him. I'm like, man, this shit doesn't happen in Cormorant.
Starting point is 00:50:13 No. Ken, I heard something the other day that, uh, you haven't mentioned and that might be by design. Oh. Do you have to replace your entire great wall of Ken? Yes, I do. What? What? What?
Starting point is 00:50:29 Very bad deal. I, I, I, I thought, I was being frugal and I, I chose the lowest better. I should not have chosen. the lowest better. Okay. So he didn't do the work correctly and the wall was falling over. Already? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:50:46 So just, you know, there's like three tiers. 100 racks down the drain. Which one is the whole thing? Just like that. But I'm saying there's like three tiers. So if one was falling over, you have to replace them all? So it's like the middle one was falling over. The worst one probably.
Starting point is 00:50:59 But then he would have to do the one above that. Yeah. And then he was looking at it and he was like, oh, this lowest one is also built incorrectly and will fall over over time. What does that even mean? Like, when you say falling, like, could the naked eye pick it up? Yeah, so, like, I could watch on my security camera over the course of the summer. It sunk and then it was also leaning forward.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Holy shit. So how did he mess that up? He didn't know what he was doing. I didn't do it bad because he did pass away, but I did hire the wrong guy. Rest in peace to whoever the contractor was for that. But you really can't do anything besides redo it. No, it's, I chat with this guy and he's like, you already have the material. So it's literally just our time to rip everything out.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Do it the same way. No, it's going to be completely different now. I'm going to have a ramp like Ryan's old house. I've got some videos of it, but it's so funny because Ken's Wall was the talk of the lake. They were referring to it as Ken's Wall. Like, everyone knew where, like, I mean, people were going by admiring. Like, that's a massive retaining wall. It was an amazing.
Starting point is 00:52:02 It was amazing. Yes, that. Wow. I can't even, I can't even believe he got it approved, this, that, and the other. And then they're going to. come back next year he's going to have it all just changed they're going to be like holy shit he did it like his wall so he just changed it that's insane is he going to do another one next year like but anyway so Alex didn't know it's like decorating your house get this get this Alex didn't know that Ken had to take
Starting point is 00:52:27 his wall out and we were cruising around one Sunday and I was like let's cool to see on ken's house see the progress shouldn't been over there shouldn't heard about it so we pull up I'm going to play the video but basically all of Ken's retaining wall rock was taken out and it was put in between his family's little cabin and his house. And she goes, what's he doing here? I go, oh, yeah, he's building the wall. She's like, are you serious? I'm like, yeah, yeah, he's building. He wants privacy between him. She's like, but she's not doing it on the other side. He goes, no, just that side. She's like, oh, my God, Ken. And it's like this massive wall, like massive wall, you know, with huge,
Starting point is 00:53:04 uh, picturing how many freaking rocks there were in that part of it. It's like something you could walk on top, but she thought it was real and it was really funny, but... So we're checking out Big Ken's house. I love how he... It does. It looks like he's building a great wall of Ken. Building a wall next to his family's cabin. His house from his family's house, just so they don't know what's going on over here.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Give him some privacy. I mean, this is, this is, to be fair, though, Ken, that is something you would do. And then over there, there's just no wall. He doesn't fuck with his family. is this actually how it's going to go I don't know I mean I think it might be a little wider and he was planning
Starting point is 00:53:43 We've got the great wall of Ken here His house He's building this wall Just to give him some privacy From his family's cabin So anyways Here's now the front It's all ripped out
Starting point is 00:53:56 Holy The ramp is sick though Holy fuck Yeah so it's gonna be a ramp Like your old house was And then what? I don't know It's tough to explain
Starting point is 00:54:03 You'll have to see it When it's done Just something different for this year. Holy. Yeah, it's a shame. It's unlocked. I took a shit in the corner. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Your bathroom wasn't even in, like, no toilets. Oh, you got to aim, have a precise aim in the hole. I just put it in the corner. I figured they'd clean it up. Yeah, it was one of those, like, square holes on the floor. It's interesting. You did your plumbing and metal, but like a rectangle that's, like two inches wide and like
Starting point is 00:54:36 it was pretty nice though that you put one in every room. I put multiple in every room. With the great though I had to step on it to push it through. Waffle stomp. Yeah. He's in front of the window so you could view. Gun fires up his AC next summer. Oh, smells like that's a prank. It smells like shoot. That's something Matt would have done. So this is going back to our
Starting point is 00:55:00 conversation at lunch. I truly think we should do a live stream. Well, more so you should do live stream can because you're going to be starring in it i don't even know if we're going to be over there but like a 24 hour live stream can at his house we have all of his security cameras live in every room it's just switching to whichever one that he's got that place is a lot like covered like a fucking bank in security cameras so you're basically talking big brother yeah yeah and but you you don't even don't even worry about the cameras pretend they're not even there just live your life to your thing invite your friends over have your parties like i think that live stream would go insane and then i'd watch it like we've been saying for the longest time
Starting point is 00:55:42 i really do think that maybe we'll do just a youtube video this but just a video full length no cuts you sleeping we'll just tripod don't know they have to be in the room with you i think you've lost your mind actually at what you think is uh one not creepy nobody ever said that No one never said it wasn't creepy It's not creepy on your part Ken It's creepy on the people that'd be watching it Maybe maybe but I think it's gonna be a very Entertaining powerful piece of content
Starting point is 00:56:12 I feel like anyone who watches that It would be extremely fucked in the head I don't I think people You're in the comic section right now Probably saying do both of those ideas They would think that was a funny As idea dude if my Favorite YouTuber was doing
Starting point is 00:56:28 A sleeping stream I'd have to tune in That doesn't make me creepy. I just want to see what's going on. That shit would pop, does he talk in his sleep? Does he snore? Do you fart in your sleep?
Starting point is 00:56:39 I don't know. I guess we'll find out. And then, Hey! Sounds like it's happening. Damn, Gens just start pro- Did Ken just stop launch?
Starting point is 00:56:48 If you want to like split some of the embarrassment, I could join you. No, Mike, get out of you. No, I'm just kidding. You know, and then what we do for like a follow-up,
Starting point is 00:56:56 like they always say a good YouTube video idea. There's got to be a follow-up to it. So this will be, Ken sleeping two and what we'll do is we'll have him watch a scary movie before he goes to bed and then this one Ken sleeping two night terror edition he's got night terrors and then a bunch of like pre-workout yeah pre-workout will be the third one so we'll have Ken take pre-workout at like 10 right before he goes to bed and then it's just him tossing and turning on night we're scraping the bottom of the barrel on these ideas dude I think those would go a million views easy easy
Starting point is 00:57:28 actually probably more than a million probably three Because who the fuck does that? I'm sure someone's going to take this idea now and do it. But chances are they don't have, they don't have cloud like you, though, so it won't pop. I mean, genuine question, since we are clearly thinking about producing this, like, what if, like, nothing happens? That's just fine.
Starting point is 00:57:44 I think it's just more so, like. What do you think's going to happen, Mike? He's just sleeping. I'm just, I guess, being a little realistic here, like, is that it? Yeah, but you're going to be hilarious. You're going to watch every minute just to see. It's going to be fucking hilarious. Am I?
Starting point is 00:57:58 That's the risk you take watching the stream. Is it because it's just, you don't know what's going to have. This might just be a YouTube video. Oh, just a video. I think his house is live streamed, the 24 hours live stream. I would definitely make a cameo on that. I've always wanted to be in a live stream. Yeah, that'd be lit.
Starting point is 00:58:13 People tune it just to see Ken, you know. Yeah, and then they'd be like, oh, they have his buddies. His buddies are there. Yeah, I don't know if you'd classify as one of his buddies. I don't know if any of us are going to be welcome for him. Let's be real. Ken's housewarming party, 24-hour live stream. None of us are even there.
Starting point is 00:58:29 We didn't even hear about it. Depends on what kind of pranks are getting pulled at it. No, I would just be there to have a good time. Just gifts. Some of these gifts aren't exactly the best. Let's put it lightly. I would like to be able to say the same to you, but you've never gotten me a gift. Yeah, same.
Starting point is 00:58:45 I guess I can't even complain about your gift. To be fair, you have done more for less. This is as easy as it gets. You're just doing something you already do. Yeah, it's literally just my heart. house, though. I don't know. I think it's kind of creepy watching people live their life in their house just go around and sleep. You don't have to watch them. I just find that exceptionally creepy. We'll give you the benefit of the doubt. In one of the bathrooms, we won't have a camera.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Well, I'll have a bike. I'm not putting, unless you're planning them putting cameras in the bathroom. It's just on the door. He goes in, blows it out. 20 minutes for that. This stream sounds insane If I wanted to make some money That's how to do it right there I don't even know I mean we might even just do it for free For the love of the game
Starting point is 00:59:38 Yeah no I'm not even talking about making money I'm just talking about making a Well that's what I'm being powerful piece of content I guess that's what I'm getting at If you had a shot of him blowing out the bathroom That's where the view would spike Sponsored by dude wipes Yo
Starting point is 00:59:53 Yo what about Throughout the live stream you don't know when he's going to do it but he's going to do four better help pro posts so this live stream is brought to you by better help he's going to like sprinkle them in and then that's how you're going to hold your attention to fully live too fully live that's how he's going to hold your attention of like oh dude i'm just watching ken literally do nothing until his next better help all right it's 2 30 time for today's sponsor better help But you accidentally forget to do, you do one and then you like do the last three at the end in a row.
Starting point is 01:00:29 It's not going to be Ken doing nothing over there, guys. It's going to be like a fucking great Gatsby party. Anyone who's anyone's going to be there. Obviously, we're not going to be there. But anyone who's anyone in town is going to be there. B.J. Shato. G. Jimmy?
Starting point is 01:00:41 New York, Jim. Yeah. The roster. Yeah. It's going to be it. Very entertaining. I like it. I think we'll probably just plan to do it once your house is done Ken.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Yeah, I'll have the security camera guy go over there and get me hacked in. so that way we can just... Like, you don't even have to do anything. Just don't show up to work one day. We'll just say, hey, you just... Enjoy your new house. In fact, don't leave it for 24 hours. Sure, you want me to wire out my house,
Starting point is 01:01:04 like, so we can do this for me? Well, you think... I'd watch it. It's next year when your house is done. No, right. Listen, Ryan, I wish that... I wish that I was in the same boat as Ken, but we gotta just face the facts that we're not.
Starting point is 01:01:16 I know. We're not as entertaining as Ken. We can't just do nothing and be the second greatest entertainment. of our time, right behind Gavin. You guys see Ridiculous is getting canceled. What are they replacing? Are they just done doing it?
Starting point is 01:01:30 They haven't seen the clickbait saying cancel. No, they made a post. He made a post. Well, yeah. It was not filming anymore. We're done. But they're going to just have these ridiculous reruns for the next 12 years. Oh, I'm so does anyone have any word on?
Starting point is 01:01:44 I think they still have new ones coming out, though. They were filming like 12 a day. So basically it said from 2011 to 2018, that's seven years. is they filmed 320 episodes. And then on the latter end, they filmed 350 or 370 a year. Yeah, yeah. 2,400.
Starting point is 01:02:03 2,400 ridiculous episodes. If you just imagine they're launching one new episode of ridiculousness a week, they could probably do more than that. All I got to say is shout out Rob Deerick, man. That's an insane run. That's insane run. I mean, I remember when Robin Big came out on MTV, and the fact that he was on MTV running it,
Starting point is 01:02:22 from 2006 all the way to 2025. That's an insane run. It says there Hill air's final episodes in 2026. It's crazy. It seems like you look at MTV's like programming schedule. It's just ridiculousness and the ridiculousness spin-offs. It's nothing else. Dude, what happened to MTV?
Starting point is 01:02:45 I mean, they've been saying that for years, dude. I remember when I was a little kid and people would complain about shows like Robin Big. They're supposed to be music videos on this channel Remember back when MTV just played music videos Now it's all this reality junk And now it's, you know There's been so many, yeah, it's I'm just curious just like what's next for it
Starting point is 01:03:04 Are they gonna open it back up to airing more than one show And it's spinoffs? I just think that if you don't get to pick What you're watching It's gonna be tough man I just think it's tough Like even South Park They've just
Starting point is 01:03:17 But I think they'll take their name And make not live There's no way that they're not not going anywhere. They're going to have to pivot, though, for sure. Yeah, how have they not pivoted at this point, though, is what I'm asking? Well, I think that was their pivot with the ridiculousness. What a orderline YouTube videos.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I mean, it must still have been streaming. It was like TikTok, just constantly new shit. Like, you know, you can pop in at any point and understand what's going on. I think that was, but yeah, it wasn't necessarily probably. Does anyone watch that? This is their schedule for, like, the next couple of times. A lot of people. Only in a hotel.
Starting point is 01:03:51 I flip back and forth. Like you go to Comedy Central and South Park is on, and then when that goes to commercial, you flip over to MTV and hope that ridiculousness isn't also on a commercial. But yeah, I mean, what an awful experience it is to get 20 minutes of entertainment and watch 10 minutes of ads and the entertainment's mediocre. I'm not saying it's not entertaining, but. I think it's just tough. There's so much good content out there now and people don't want to wait or on the flip,
Starting point is 01:04:15 I will say, I enjoy watching TV. Maybe it's when I'm not necessarily paying a lot of attention to it, but it's easy to just put on and there's something about it. I don't know. I do love, like, living like the old days where you do shit during commercial break. I can't do that. Wait, do shit or do shit? Like, well, like, just do whatever you want.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Okay, so do things. What do you do for the commercial break? You could build a Lego Lamborghini. You could do a puzzle. Oh, you know Mike's tinkering on shit. Yeah. He's fucking picking up leaves in the background of 90% of our videos, bro. You know he's pulling weeds.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Pulling weed. Reads. Ryan, pull them, put them in there. I don't have them all curated yet, but I do have a couple. I will not watch, like, live TV. I'll put it in, like, my DVR library, and if I want to watch an episode, I'll just wait until it's recorded, and so you can just skip right through it. No, I mean, it's not a deal. Watching commercials, you're recording, TV shows still?
Starting point is 01:05:12 He's got a TiVo. No, on YouTube TV, you can record. Oh, yeah, I do the same. You just tell it, like, I thought you meant, like, direct TV record. Remember that? Yeah, that was late. You're just like, I want to watch every episode of, like, Rick and Morty or anything else. And it just got it.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Like, every time an episode plays, it's just all in your library. Got it. Just skip through every single ad. Before we stray too far from this, Ryan, are you pulling this up? I only have one. There's got to be like 30. There's one in the background of the, uh, you do look at us in the middle of film and you just walk off and just start pulling weeds. Yeah, so can somebody actually watching this right now make a compilation of,
Starting point is 01:05:51 of Mike doing random shit while we're filming. Like in the background. Like if we're talking to the camera and Mike's in the background doing something. Because I think that there's probably like an hour of content. Every single time. Just Mike doing stuff while we're filming. Every single time we're at the track, anyone can be talking. Mike will turn around, walk five feet, pull something out.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Yeah. Like we're in the shop. He'll go like, go clean something. Go clean something. Take out the garbage. Break down a cardboard box. Every single time. The box.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Love doing that. I mean, I have severe ADHD. So Mike's over there pulling garbage. People in the comments, Oh, I'm so fucking sick of Ben and CJ just, like, hosting this show. Oh, fuck. Half the rest of the crew is pulling weeds and doing shit. No, these guys just do the talking.
Starting point is 01:06:41 And, like, I could do more of it, but, like, I mean, on the vehicle tour, like, I try to interject, doesn't really work sometimes. But, like, that's fine. That's okay with me. You can talk as much as you want. Yes, but it's sometimes really hard to do when other people are talking or when other people talk over you. I'm not bummed about it. I'm just like, that's just what happens.
Starting point is 01:07:04 So, yeah, me going off to pull weeds is pretty whack, but also it's funny. It is funny. I get a good kick out of it. Speaking of television, dude, South Park, love those guys, grew up watching South Park. What the fuck, dude? Not my favorite season. They get me all, I mean, it's not even that. Imagine if we did this shit all the time.
Starting point is 01:07:24 They'll be like new episode Wednesday. You tune in. New episode next Wednesday. They just keep putting it off. And then eventually they just postponed it like three weeks. No shit. They just didn't even post. It's insane.
Starting point is 01:07:36 So now they're on like a biweekly new thing. Chances are they just, they've been doing it for so long. They're fucking so rich. And they make the episode within like a week. So kind of like a YouTube video, but I'm sure they're just, like, why are we working this hard? Didn't they sign some, like, insane contract? Like a billion dollars or something, insane.
Starting point is 01:07:56 But, uh... For Hulu? No, Paramount. But, uh, yeah, anyways, it's crazy. But love South Park. But yeah, dude, they've been... I'm surprised that the network allows that, though. They've done whatever they wanted for, since, like, ever.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Since they started. Like, they'd be like, you can't put that on TV. They're like, no, yeah, we are. And they just do it. And, like, there'd be backlash and they would not care. It used to be they delivered the show to the network so like right before it had to launch where they didn't have time to review it so they just whatever played played yeah that's so crazy and they did like a live thing i remember they had
Starting point is 01:08:30 like some like sacred prophet oh mohammed yeah and like they weren't supposed to put them in there and then i think even like there was threats like if they put them in there and they were on like live tv and like we're just going to do what we want and uh and then like they made some compromise with Comedy Central and instead they put them in like a bear outfit oh yeah it's the bear episode like I'm pretty sure you can't even watch that episode like it's been taken down from everywhere but yeah they've got some savage ass episodes but kings of the work around it is crazy though like the new stuff definitely isn't as good as the old stuff but what you do man I still am happy that they're still making stuff it kind of goes back to the AI stuff we were talking
Starting point is 01:09:15 about earlier and how lazy it's making people. Dalton, I'm actually, I'm glad you're here for this. So we, uh, I opened up all the fan mail for this month, basically. We get it and it comes in like a big bundle. One whole letter. Love fan mail that we get. We do get a lot of family. We save all of it too. We do. I have it all in multiple boxes in my office. This one,
Starting point is 01:09:36 Dear C-Boys, S-E-A-B-O-I-S. It's just chat GPT. They didn't even have the fucking balls to take it out of chat GPT. They screenshot and sent the picture. Yeah. What? They couldn't just put in the notes app. No.
Starting point is 01:09:51 Your name. What? Your name here. It's pretty funny. They did have a good... Cooked, man. They did have a good little prompt here. You had some official street signs.
Starting point is 01:10:01 So we're sending you this one in honor of your very own orange-fingered cameraman himself. Wow. That looks like it was stolen. That's a hot item. That's a big one, too. I thought, cool. That's actually sick. They may work for a sign.
Starting point is 01:10:15 company. Oh no. That shit was on a poll, dude. Oh, yeah. Dude, that thing is huge. Let me get this straight. Somebody stole a sign thought, let's send this to C boys. Yep. But I don't want to write the message. So I'm going to prompt something from chat GPT. I'm not even going to copy and paste it. I'm going to screenshot it, print out that screenshot and send it with the sign. Yeah. I'm sure they paid probably like $17 to ship this too. But that's easily the most insane. part. Wow. Am I in so bizarre? Am I in possession of stolen property? Yeah, yeah, that definitely is stolen
Starting point is 01:10:52 property. Well, I'll be returning it swiftly to the highway department. You know what state it came from? No. I'm going to go to all 50 states and check. Well, I don't just look it up. Dolton. What's that team is? Does that mean private? Oh, that's probably five. Look it up.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Look it up, Ev. Look up a Dalton Road. I think that signs a little bit bigger than traditional. Hey, you're right, kind of. You know, so It's almost like that is probably, but there's also like big green ones that go up on like the big stoplights and stuff that are not normal road sign size. Anyway, it said, now when you're ripping around or filming another questionable idea, you can say it finally happened on Dalton Road. Just make sure the sign doesn't end up in the pond or in one of Dalton's Cheeto dust clouts. Keep the chaos alive.
Starting point is 01:11:37 See you down Dalton Road. There's a lot of Dalton roads in California, Kansas, Arizona. There's an IWorks Road in South Dakota and I'm always thought about. going and just taking a little peek and some sticky fingers and the Ryan gets caught locked up for it. You just have it made, bro.
Starting point is 01:11:54 I know. Well, now maybe that's what I do. I'm going to go steal all the Sherbrook road signs and just give them to Cody. Hey, I got these for you. They have your name on it. What? You stole those from Dave?
Starting point is 01:12:06 Dude, I wonder. He's got it hung up. Dave's like, what the fuck? How did Dave get the roads renamed? Yeah, you can do that. Richard did. Richard used to own all the land. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:15 And then, so you just name the roads after him. That's so sick. So if we own enough land, we could change the name of the road. Our driveway could probably turn into a road. Yeah, I think if you... I'm a joke. The roads are penis. The roads are penis and I'm going for a drive.
Starting point is 01:12:36 They're about to be. These roads are about to be penis. You could name our driveway that. That's what I'm saying. It does have a little curve to the right or left, I guess. So a backstory, it was snowing super hard. And we were building our first R6 quad with Vass. And we were all sitting there under there, just looking at him as he's trying to figure out what to do.
Starting point is 01:13:04 And Ken comes in, and it's just blizzarding. And we're like, how is it out there? The roads are penis. And we just like, we just never dropped it. We've just cracked jokes about it ever since. The roads are penis, and I'm going to take the long way home. How'd it happen, good. I recall it being pretty close to that.
Starting point is 01:13:26 I think he said it like, dude, the roads are ass, but he used penis instead of ass. The roads are penis. Yeah, yeah, exactly. No one really uses that word as much as they should. Penal? Yeah. Like, you always got like dick or something. Like you come up with a penis
Starting point is 01:13:44 That's like proper biological That's proper anatomy Yeah I feel like we had a bunch of good ones I mean my The roads are penis and I'm taking the scenic On that note Thank you
Starting point is 01:14:02 Yeah thank you guys And thank you for getting us to 5 million subscribers Yeah that's big boys CJ's got to go play play play play four nights. I probably am going to go play four tonight. C.J. is going to get into seven rounds, 30 seconds each. I don't know if that's a diss on his
Starting point is 01:14:24 gameplay or... Ken does live beneath me. He does live beneath me. You guys can play duos. Okay. Get the fuck out of you. What kind of sicko does that? Only Evan. All right, guys. Thanks for making it to the
Starting point is 01:14:42 end of the podcast. We'll see you next Tuesday. You know what I will say, though? It was playing with Marge. Terrible. Her hairs in the way the whole time. Anyways, that's it. I did. No, actually, I earned her. I earned her. These days, they got Fortnite. We had Mrs. Incredible. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:00 The generation before that had Jessica Rabbit. Look her up. All right. We'll see you next week. Look her up.
