I mean, CJ's hair transplants. You call around asking for people to sign him. He's here. He's here right now. We drove all the way here. What do you mean you don't want? I'm just going to go buzz it. Really?

Wow. Actually? Well, I'm not going to buzz, buzz it. But, like, I'm going back to the old days of having number one. Seriously? On the whole thing? Not on the top. I just don't really care, though.

I mean, that's why I just throw a hat on every day. I saw the message from that one guy. Yeah. I thought that was pretty funny. I'd laugh. I was like, bro, someone's going to. pay me to walk around like this fucking find me up with him and how much money do you have because you wouldn't walk around looking like this you're getting paid i'm looking like an idiot for free yeah

some of these people we have like 99.9% awesome viewers and and supporters and subscribers but there's this point one percent that are just squids man yeah i really noticed it in the Hayabusa video that we just posted because in the intro I was going through specs and I hate even saying specs because if you mess one thing up one thing up they're going to just come after you for it because they think they're so smart yeah it's like everyone wants to like try and act smart by like and belittle you you know make themselves feel bigger by telling you how dumb you are for making a little mistake yeah that that's part of that 1% I'm talking about and something that we do is we just try and like

almost do like an umbrella policy of like keeping it so vague you know you can't really come after us for the details of it not not necessarily because of that though we just try to make it just so it's like mass majority can understand it and can understand it like people don't want to listen to the gear ratios you know like we want to be able to appeal to everyone right and then when when you do that though they think that you just don't know what you're talking about and quite frankly I don't know what the fastest crotch rocket is to the spec of quarter mile and half mile and by production date before this time. Yeah, who the fuck has time for that?

I'm just giving it just a blanket statement of like, they call this thing the widow maker because it's so insanely fast. To what I thought the fast production. That was incorrect, Ben, because it was actually, I don't know what year. I think it was like the 2003 CBR-1100. The whack people calling you out for that, they're like, they're like, that's fine. If you don't know, just don't say it then.

Don't be out there saying it. I don't think they are saying it's fine. I think they're saying like, I'm a problem. Like, I'm, I'm the problem. You're spreading misinformation. I'm spreading misinformation, yeah. Maybe they'll start popping up the thing whenever Ben talks over specs. This has been confirmed as misinformation.

Yeah, yeah. It tells us all the correct stuff. Yeah, that'd be actually fine with the specs. I'd fix a lot of this problem. Yeah, every time you start talking about a build or anything, just comes up with the actual stats a lot of times too if we say that and then we fix it in post people still comment yeah yeah they still comment it's like dude we know we we we put a little a little a little asterisk and put like the correct term next to it but that wasn't good enough for

you i always like that i love the corrections in post uh it just shows that we're human you know you say something it you're you're flying the camera was rolling you said something wrong correct it in post it's nothing to get mad about here yeah yeah did you guys see that video Of me dropping that, that full drink on Alex's story. Yeah. Oh my God. That was pretty funny. Was it actually,

was she actually trying to get a good boom ring? She's doing, you know, so you actually had to cheers four to five times. Maybe it wasn't four. It might have been two or, it was probably three at that point. But, you know,

I'm sitting here at the event show. I'm kind of just like, all right, let's do this. The glass is perspirating because it's, you know, it's cold. Hey,

I've done it before. And it's humid. I'm in the Bahamas. And I'm pretty soon, you know, and I'm also, you know, up and eventually by the time we just touched it just slipped up and it was like a nice

ass restaurant and everyone turned and looked yeah it's pretty embarrassing pretty larried up yeah they were like you're cut off you're cut off i was like really i'm fine i'm fine i mean they were joking that's it all cut off people's like i better be getting another drink yeah i was like geez i didn't even know they did that yeah hummus it wasn't that embarrassed honestly it was just funny we laughed about it but yeah but there's nothing that gets people to look like a drop some dropping something in a restaurant is the most awkward thing because everybody you have to look you can't ignore it the worst part was it was just a waste of a perfectly good drink it costed like 25 bucks too yeah it was it was such a rip the bahamas is not cheap

everything over there is way more expensive it's like at least two times more expensive like every drink was like 20 bucks minimum and they were like they were fine but they weren't like they weren't a 20 drink i mean they were fine but yeah they weren't a 20 drink they were probably like a $12 drink. Yeah. You got a drink at the Cancun Airport and was it actually around 30? Yeah, it was a $32. Margarita.

That is insane. But Jimmy Buffett would want me to have that. Yeah. It's so expensive to live in the Bahamas. Like they have these crazy taxes. Like their tax is like 100% of the vehicle. There's different brackets. But if you were to buy a Lamborghini, you would pay whatever the prices of that

Lamborghini because it's over $75,000, I believe, the driver was telling me you would pay that uh in taxes so you everything costs double so like the people get uh the cars most of their cars sent over from uh japan and they're registered there yeah they no they're not registered there but it'll cost like you can buy a car from japan for like a thousand bucks oh and then they by the time they ship it over and do the taxes and stuff like a thousand dollar car will be like 4,500 bucks so what is there a bunch of mini trucks? Yes there was many trucks everywhere and there was even medium truck Oh.

Like, I guess Kia makes mini trucks, but theirs was more of like a medium. You guys would have loved it. We should have had our mini truck there because, fuck, dude, people would have been gawking over. I feel like we fit in there. Yeah, but I was confused because we have like a pretty wealthy friend who moved to the Bahamas. And I just assumed the reason he moved to the Bahamas was because he were saving on taxes. Like most people, like super rich people moved to Puerto Rico. I get there, I'm like, what the fuck?

How much money does this guy have? If he's cool with moving all the way over here just to pay double on it. everything. Interesting. Wow. We've been talking about taking a trip to the Bahamas, but on jet skis and doing like this whole thing. It'd be fun. I for some reason pictured the Bahamas still being like a like a primitive tribe. No, you're imagining Haiti. It's like desolate beaches. There's probably corners on the baby. Yeah, we're going to the Bahamas and I go, oh, that'll be like a nice, relaxing getaway. And then I see your story that you're at a casino. I was like, oh, whoa. Well, he's over on the-I got the wrong idea.

The tourist area. But when I was there, it was pretty fun, like, especially the mini-truck thing. The roads are really bad, really rough, windy, just you're through the jungle. And, like, everyone... Yeah, I just stopped there, like, on a cruise. But we got to... We just did a tour. And, like, everyone...

I just love that there's no rules. I mean, they have rules. What? Yeah, okay. They have plenty of rules. When it comes to driving, people just drive however they want. What is that? It's probably okay.

It'll be done in a little bit. Oh, yeah, he'll be done in a second. We'll just pick up on rules after that. I'm like, what is that? I was trying to happen. Stuff just happened to. Yeah, where we went, ziplining? That was Jamaica.

Unbelievable. I was going to say, you have a different memory than me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Junkles. Wait, so the Bahamas are very, just in general, pretty touristy. Well, maybe Jamaica. It was nice because of the casino. I enjoyed it, but then the casino just,

beat me up yeah i was gonna say then it was just a casino i was doing well i was doing well i was on i was up 565 bucks oh whoa uh on like the first day or sec it was two days in i was gambling pretty like Alex didn't want to sit at the tables the whole time so i'd like in passing try to go big you know yeah you're working out but i was like i got to at least get to a thousand okay because like we're at we need 435 more dollars you can do that you know in a couple of hands if you you're actually really swinging it, you know? And then I ended up going down 1250. Whoa!

Yeah. Yeah, so not the best, and it made the drink prices, everything hurt. I was going to say, an expensive vacation. Yeah, it would have just been nice, you know, like $5.65's cool, but $1,000, that's not bad. You know, like, people are like, that's nice. That's a lot worse than Ken did when he was in Vegas a little bit ago. Wait, I thought you came up $4,000. Yeah, my trip wasn't satisfying

Because I hit a couple little mini jackpots on a slot machine So fast that I didn't get that satisfaction of gambling It was like you had to lose anything Like you do I hit a couple like mini jackpots got I was up four grand at 4,300 bucks I would have walked Yeah, I did and that's what wasn't satisfied So I was like I only was in the casino for like 30 minutes

That does kind of suck Why didn't you maybe just take like I don't know 500 bucks and just like stretch it out I like the minimum blackjack I did, and then I won again. Oh, this sounds terrible. It sounds like a great fucking time, dude. What do you mean?

But I won in like five minutes with that second 500 bucks. I was like, I'm winning too much. Ken Matthew. Who says that? The most winningest player in Vegas history. I lost last time, so. Oh, true. Can, buy me a sir on, dude.

Oh, Mike, you got yours coming, bro. Yeah, yeah. What are you talking about? There's seven coming. Ken, I got to start giving you my money to gamble with. Yeah. Yeah. You're like really good at it.

I didn't win like in the normal casino and then I go in the high limit room and it's just like win win win and then I walk and it's like fuck I can't understand I don't understand the emotions that you were going through I'm very confused yeah you got very confused sorry to go back to the Bahamas I just thought about we have a lot of subs in the Bahamas like oh cool they have internet yes they do are you saying they local like there's definitely like are they locals yeah locals like I uh I never got the guy's name because it was it was tough it was like a little bit of a language barrier not a ton but like you know accents and stuff and uh dude he was like he watches all our vats i don't know i don't know what you are saying right maybe just cut this out but this kid like legitimately had been watching all our vids that's so cool he was like freaking out i was there's what don't know you know and like he was like i don't know it was just interesting because i'm like Like the life he's living, how the fuck do you enjoy watching our videos?

Because there is nothing in relation. I was like maybe, I was kind of assuming I was like, oh, maybe you have like dirt bikes or maybe he's into like riding dirt bikes or something. No, never. He just was like, yeah, I just stumbled across it and just got hooked. That's super cool. But it was really interesting. Yeah, I thought that was cool.

I thought you were just talking about people that were visiting the Bahamas. No, it's sick that they're locals. It's sweet to go to like, I mean, a foreign country and then just be like, yeah, we watch you. Dude, there's truly few things better. No way. That's awesome. Oh, that's sick. That's cool.

Yeah, there's not many things better than when we're traveling abroad and we're kind of, you know, out of our element, but then the locals bring us in. It's like, you're immediately like, oh, dude, our people. Are you saying we, like, when you go to, like, Mexico or? No, I think just, like, when we're just anywhere. Like, how's not a corn, right? Okay. Yeah, we go to, like.

Abroad. Yeah. Out of our island of corn row. That's what threw me off. That's what threw me off. But, yeah, no. I think it's the best thing ever going to, like, Houghton, Michigan would be a good example. We kind of, like, go there, and then everyone's just like, they are there for the same thing.

And they take you in and you have the most fun because the locals want you there. Yeah, you got to come meaning to have fun, though, for sure. Yeah. And we love traveling, too. I think that's, like, something that we all have in common to is, like, one of the first times that we, like, truly experienced it is when we went to Florida for Ken's. race when he was racing with Haley Deegan. Oh yeah? Was that really?

Yeah. It was kind of like the first time that we had like gone. Besides like a sled trip maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Now we just do it all the time because it's so much fun

and it's so easy to make great content out of it. But it's the same outlook I've looked at Evan with the helicopter thing. So I look at the helicopter and go, of course I want to do that. Why would, who wouldn't want to do that? Like riding in it? Yeah, yeah, riding it.

So it's the same thing like with traveling. Like I'm just caught up in this whole like of course we want to travel. Of course everyone wants to travel. Who wouldn't want to travel? But some people don't like doing it. It does feel good to be back home, though. We're back in studio for the first time in three weeks or something like that.

But it's the best that we're able to go for a little bit, do our thing, and then come back home and have the home bay. Yeah, I love it here, man. This is the best. I know. I think we go to Turkey. I get CJ's hair transplants. If you guys pay for it, I'll let you film it. I'm down.

Sure. It sounds painful. You never did get your gift like six years ago. Yeah, it's like four grand. and all said and done. Oh, really? I think it's, like, more expensive to fly there than it is to actually get there. I'm pretty sure that includes it.

Mike's looked into it. Yeah, you fly there, stay there, get the procedure and fly back. And that's like with the everything. It's like a really good package, whereas like if you do it in the United States, it's like, yeah, you're looking maybe like 16 grand, I'd say. It's hefty. Dude, I would be down. I was like, I think that'd be fun. Can we all go about?

It's like a year of fucking recovery, dude. For what? When you do the thing, it takes a year. Well, you just didn't wear a hat. A year all said and done, but I think you're seeing results after like four months. It's still pretty long. But yeah, I agree. When you say recovery, though, like, what is that?

That's what I mean? Like, I'm talking, like, you got all these dots. You can't wear a hat and shit, and you're bald because they shave your head and they use little bumps all over your head. Maybe pop some pictures up front. For the first week, your head gets really swollen. Yeah, and then, like, after 30 days, it kind of is scabbing over and stuff. And then you start to see some hair grow, but then I guess it falls back out.

and then it regrows and then you're supposedly golden. Wow. But, you know, it's like different. It's like a pretty thought out process because like they don't want to put your hair line too low, too high. You want to look natural. You don't want to look like a fucking sharp middle school like hairline on the guy because if you're like, you know, 30 years old.

Can you imagine we pay them off to put your hairline? Bro. That would like, what would I do? That would be so bad. I don't know if I trust you guys now. That would actually be so bad. And he can't get it to like, like stop growing. Like you're like, yeah, I'm pretty sure you could, but maybe not.

Yeah, I mean, that'd be bad. Then you got to go somewhere and get laser hair removal. Jesus. It's just a whole thing. That would be so fun. I mean, the odds of that seem slim, but yeah, that they like make your hair right above your eyebrows. Book club on Monday. Gym on Tuesday.

Date night on Wednesday. Out on the town on Thursday. Woo! Quiet night in on Friday. It's good to have a routine. And it's good for your eyes too. Because with regular comprehensive eye exams at Specsavers, you'll know just how healthy they are.

Visit Spexavers.cavers.cai to book your next eye exam. Eye exams provided by independent optometrists. No, I was all excited to do it or like to think about doing it, whatever. And then Sidney's like, yeah, but like if you go for those out of, you know, abroad surgeries, He's like, you could wake up and your liver's gone or something. I don't think if you're, you're right. And I just, then I started thinking about that. No, I was like, yeah, exactly.

You just got to go to one. You go to the budget one there that's in a bad spot, probably wouldn't be surprising. But we'll have a plus here. Well, it was the whole like, well, it's international. So maybe they just look all bougie. And the reason they're all nice and bougie is because they have a bunch of money from selling organs. They have like a reputation of them. Exactly.

No, there's a bunch of influencers. They actually fly like. I've seen videos of smaller YouTubers, they'll fly them out. And, like, if they make a video, they do the thing for you, which obviously it's a $4,000 procedure. So that makes sense, depending on their size. But it makes sense, though, I guess when you think about, you know, if you were to have a, you know, surgical process like that

where people are, like, willing to really go anywhere or do anything for it, you know? Like, people are like, well, if I can get it for fourth the price, I'm willing to fly. Yeah, I mean, in the world. I just hope that it'd be good. But, I mean, if they're doing the most hair transplants, they probably would be the best, you know? It kind of is the spot.

So, like, what do you got to go to Brazil for a butt lift? I don't know if that's the spot. Or is that just what they call it. It is a Brazilian. I want to say that's like where it originated. I think they're just maybe naming it after the Brazilian girls, you know. Yeah. That makes sense.

Yeah. It is tough for us to do a hair transplant thing. Like a lot of people could do it, hide out for a month, you know, kind of let it come back. No, you got to take it on the chin. You'd be surprised, actually. You'd be surprised I actually know two really big influencers that have done it. And you wouldn't even know. Are they vocal about it?

No. Oh, see, that's what it would be so hard. I'm not going to say anything. If you make the video on it, then you can be vocal about it. Of course. Which makes it easier. But if you wanted to do it really sly under the rug, then it'd be tough. Yeah, I don't blame them for doing that.

It just seems like a lot of work to try to hide it. I don't know how they did it because it's like getting any place. So maybe they were able to keep their hair. but they just did the front i don't fucking know that'd be like getting a boob job and not wanting to show it off but if you don't post that much yeah like i could see a nose job some people get nose jobs they don't want anybody to know which is just weird like yeah people don't want you and it makes sense they don't want to act like they're fake yeah no it well there's that but also i think a lot of people have a tough time admitting it because it it admits that you were uncomfortable with your body but it's like who

cares if you're going to change it then like obviously but yeah i guess i feel like getting a hair transplant and nose job are a little bit different. I think they are too. Yeah, I'd say the hair transplant's not as aggressive. I agree. I can see, I could see why you'd want to hide, get a nose job, but like the hair thing, it's way more common to try to hide. Yeah, yeah,

just fucking took some things and put it on the front. Yeah, perfect. We'll do it. It's out of all, boys. Maybe. I'm cool with it. I think of course you're cool. That'd be fun for you. Yeah, we get to go to Turkey. You get a little thing. It's not like you're not. You're not getting anything out of it yeah you're right i'd get some hair i have hair though i mean i'm not that bad but i just need to get a haircut but yeah i can't believe that guy said that someone should pay you to walk around like yeah i just like that is damn how funny

the i've ever heard it doesn't carry anybody but it's funny to be that ugly that is here i don't i can't think of anything that would dig deeper than i know dude so i'm doing this shit for free here so we'll pop up the video i'm sure we already showed it Only am I ugly, but I'm underpaid. Yeah, yeah. Gosh, dude. Okay, so we'll pop up the video again of me dropping the drink. And I put that on my Snapchat.

And a subscriber on my Snapchat, he responds to it and goes, deserving for having that type of comb over thing. I'm bald, but if I had hair, there isn't enough money in the world. I'd wear my hair like that in public. And I just respond, don't really care how I look. But if someone wants to pay me to walk around looking like this, that'd be great because I'm doing it for free right now. I don't know what kind of like weird cucky world that would be for some guy to be like yo

I just want to pay you to just be this ugly well I mean taken very literally I don't know a world that exists either but no some guy that's just like got a weird fetish with like the way CJ look to fuck yeah I mean dude if they paid me I guess like I'm not trying to pick up chicks or anything so it depends how much I'd look pretty stupid yeah I guess if you put it in that way like it would be basically just like paying somebody to like look so stupid the only benefit you get out of it it's just a good chuckle dude we fucking do it for free yeah i mean it's pretty much just the existence of our our channel yeah dude it's so fun i was just talking about that uh the last video when we go into zoomies and get the outfits for our grind shoes or soap shoes it's so fun

doing that when we all go in there and just laugh and laugh and laugh till we find the funniest dude that's the best and then we walk out we're all just chipper and all we did was just buy an outfit for one of the other ones i think we're just really good at laughing at ourselves and like making a joke on ourselves um it's funny because like we've been sending a bunch of we've been trying to find editors but it's not we haven't found anyone yet so we've been sending footage off and they do like a test edit a lot of them send the edits back and they take out like the tipovers and though like the little mistakes and like but then we're like well dude that's the funniest shit. I'm sure they're thinking like, oh, they don't want us to show them looking bad.

Yeah, we got to make it look cool. I think a lot of people probably would want that, but we're just trying to be funny. We're not trying to necessarily look cool. I think I would like to clarify my dislike for being out in public and being embarrassing. I've been thinking about this. Embarrassed. Embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed of us when we're doing it. It would be like if we went up, It's our interaction with other people that I don't like. Us doing all that is funny. But then if you went in and you were like messing with someone in the restaurant, that's the part of it that I don't like,

including other people in it. I'm totally cool running around watching Mike and have look goofy. But it sometimes is when we're messing with other people. That's what gets me. Just to clarify. Would you not say that it's also when we're like in a store, we're not messing with anyone, but like, you know, we're causing a scene.

It's definitely causing a scene because, I mean, we're dressed like goofballs. We're laughing and we're filming and they're wondering what the fuck are these guys doing. Less so. I wouldn't say I'm definitely not immune to being embarrassed of that. But I also get that that's kind of part of it. I think I'm more okay with, I guess, like bringing other people into it because 95% of the time, like, it's always a good interaction. That's so true.

And like normally people are just looking because they're like, what the fuck's going on? this looks funny yeah and and i guess it is embarrassing it's it's insanely embarrassing especially just walking around with a camera or talking to a camera yeah most people wouldn't do that like that in itself i forgot i forgot about that even though i guess i don't think about that i was i was curious about that like i definitely still do a lot less than i did before but i still think about it and and i think like the way you just said it it's embarrassing sometimes yeah i mean because if you got people watching and like 90% of the time like we mess up what we're saying you know so it's like that you run it back like no but it is true like you hate when we

embarrass like you or just our group out in public in front of other people i guess it probably situation i won't say no i don't do you have a example i don't have the best okay it can be embarrassing i could say i guess when you're out like at zoomies we're filming no one everyone's wondering what you're doing it's just kind of us like it just looks kind of like a group of friends like you don't look like an official like camera crew or like a I think a production that's going to be aired to three million people a good example would be like the boat ramp thing it wouldn't bother me cheering and all that but then it's when like we're involving the other people in it and kind of it's the involvement of the other people that gets me were you there for

that no I wasn't I had to go to Fargo to bring my mom to pink just funny to that all It's just meant to be. That one, that one would have been a good example. Yeah. But like that one was tough. That one I had to actually turn it on. You guys said that. I went into it.

I was like, fuck. Like this is either going to be really funny or just like embarrassing. Because also we're in the area that everyone kind of knows us. That would have helped too in Florida. I would never see any of these people. So you're in your hometown. It's a little tough too.

We're here to do the job. Yeah. And it ended up being. We were fucking hilarious. Yeah. The funniest thing we did all summer. It's like one of our most viral moments. moments ever is when that one of them yeah woman comes up and then i have an interaction with her

exactly flicks me it's so yeah it was so legendary she was so mad but her husband was happy we should i don't know about the podcast but we need to find when she's putting her pontoon again we're going to do it go be there watching i just watched the 2023 recap last night and i just that that such a vivid she's so angry and you're like who are you with and then the news and then dintin it's like our own little meme it's pretty funny yeah so we got a company that uh they like recut up our like segments basically of our youtube videos and put them on our facebook page which then appeal to a whole new audience honestly like a lot older of a crowd and uh some of them will like pop off and go like i'd say uber viral i'd say i mean like 30 30 million views i would say

is uber viral wouldn't you guys agree like i'd say you're going viral at like 5 million 10 million nowadays but like so like that one i think has like 36 or something 36 million and it's just got all these like all this love people love it you know it's it's the boomers love it yeah yeah they i was surprised at how many people thought it was real funny like the idea was really funny in my head

how's it gonna be i was pushing for that one yeah so i came up with the idea And then you, I put, I had it in like my notes or on the thing for like a long time. And Ben fucking pushed for it. And I was like, fuck, I don't want to do this. And usually, though, if I was pushing for it, I would have had to have been like the front man for it. Once we hopped out of the truck, you were like, all right, here's what I'm going to say. I was like, oh, you're running this. Yeah.

I thought I had to. I felt like I had to. The way I had it played out in my head, though, or at least when we put it down in the notes, was that we were going to bring bleachers in and like a bigger. crowd of people. I think we still do that. I think we still gotta do that. And then I had another one. Try to get it.

No, we're bringing bleachers next time to the other one. Like, it's gonna be, I think we gotta have like 30 fucking people. Like, maybe we'll do like a casting for like the lawnmower one. Just put a list out. Because I think the way we had is set up before. Imagine two bleachers. It's like a one game.

I want it to like a Super Bowl. I want like a Super Bowl stadium. Bro, people. Before there was just like what, there was 10 of us. We had some noodles. Like they, they saw it. dwindled down to like six because people were like so embarrassed they left there like I'm not doing yeah that was that was a little awkward we were just like trying to get them to notice us and but yeah we

weren't a crowd we were just a group but anyway yeah we were just seven if there if you had an army of like 20 30 people it's going to be even easier to just get rowdy it'll be so I just don't want people being me yeah you know there's going to be someone who's going to pull in look at it and just leave like I would mess up I maybe wouldn't mess up in front of a couple people cheering but I'm I would mess up in front of 50. Everyone's got so much. Everyone's, yeah, and then you have, like, the defense signs. But we got to think of, like, something good for people to hold up, yeah.

Oh, yeah, I like that. Like, arrows? Yeah. No, they got the left. Like, really mess them up. Oh, that's kidding. No, we got to do that this year where it's, like, a full-on, like, stadium seating. Or what if you even, like, constructed a clock and it's, like, a timer,

and maybe it's running down from one minute, one minute, and then if it hits, so, like, you're, like, trying to. to do your thing, but you're looking and the clock's running out of time. You're wondering what the fuck's going to happen to be a zero timer. And then it hits zero and it just keeps going. It just keeps going. And they're like, ah, you got to start over. Get out of here.

We got to get a new guy in here. They're like, can you turn that off? And we're like, get out of here. You're making a scene. You're slowing up to boat ramp. I love that. Yeah. Giant, like, basketball buzzer.

That's funny. So I saw this headline the other day. They just said, like, Twitch streamer, Aidan Ross, who we've talked about on this podcast, uh, gets scammed out of $2 million. What? Damn. Makes my guess, sir. I'm not bad.

By 21 Savage? No. Oh. Crypto? No. So, uh, Aiden Ross, he's like the biggest, uh, streamer right now. He streams on a platform called kick. He's got like ownership and kick.

Damn. And the dude is just like, I think he's like 20. I didn't know that. 23, maybe. Crushing it. Young dude, but he's. absolutely raking in the dough. So when I saw like $2 million, I wasn't that

surprised, but I was like, how do you get scammed out of $2 million? Right? So, click on the video, Playboy Cardi, who's a rapper, he hasn't made music since 2020, though. Yeah. It's been a while. I was like, Playboy Cardi, what does he have anything to do with this? I didn't even know this guy was relevant.

Apparently, it's relevant for some reason. Aidan Ross told him that he'd pay him $2 million to come on his Twitch stream for like an hour. $2 million in like a Ferrari or something. something like that. Whoa. That's the rate their pain? Holy shit, dude.

I guess for Playboy Cardi. Wow. Okay. What are they paying people that are actually relevant? Doesn't he do yourself a Drake? For some reason, Playboy Cardi is relevant right now, or at least in that world, because he's like talking about releasing music or something like that. I don't know.

It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. So Aiden Ross, like, flies out, jump through all these hoops to, like, have him on his stream, basically, right? they put him in like this warehouse that's like a black background you can like no lighting you can barely see what's going on and they tell him like all right just be ready like he's coming how all these rappers operate i'm imagining like they're just like you know super loose on their

timelines and everything like that so they're like just be ready so he's like streaming this guy's out in the car i guess for like 20 minutes and he's like i'm not coming in and he's like what are you talking about i have two million dollars in cash right here in a bag he's like he got it in cash too he's like just come in and i'll give you the money all you have to do is just come in and be on here for an hour with me so he come finally this this guy comes in and he's standing like so far back in the room you can barely see him and i guess he's like just dancing to like music for like five minutes right like he's just like awkwardly dancing and ayn ross is like trying to like get him to like come closer and like like talk and asking him questions he's just

answering the questions and I think he's wearing a mask right so you like can't even just his friend bro I know it could have been dude sends his friend over wear the ski mask so finally after maybe another five minutes I think he was in there for like 10 minutes the dude leans into the mic and goes new music coming in 2024 I'm out and he leaves with the bag I think wow I mean that he's there for five minutes I love how you started this out with aiden ross got scam because he He did. He got a rob. That's what that was.

That's a rob. Yeah. It just made me think. I was like, what world are we living in right now where this is, this is happening? Yeah, when you were explaining that,

it felt like, and then I was like, this feels like a movie or some weird plot. I don't even, but it doesn't even feel like a movie. It just feels silly. Well, at an hour for two million bucks.

I was like, that doesn't make sense at all. Yeah, at all either. I could be out of line saying this, like for Drake, $2 million for an hour or something. Like,

I think people would be like, Yeah, that does make sense, but... That's all he spoke. And then, like, the other weird part is it was, like, one of the... It was, like, the top three, like, largest streams. It had, like, 500,000 people watching. Sounds like it worked. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Definitely still worked. I suppose. Yeah. Still. So strange. How are they monetizing kick? Like, how are they...

They're not playing ads. Are they? Don't they... Is it only donations? Is it only donations and, like, pay a subscription? Damn. I saw that kick was going to start doing, like, a, uh, creator paid program to like try and incentivize people to come over we have super likes on

youtube so people sometimes leave like i've seen like 20 dollars like shout out shout out them guys or not super likes is a super common i believe and you like you can pay whatever you want but like most people just do like a couple bucks whatever i saw two dollar one on here yeah sweet and uh yeah kind of cool so i mean people do do it and i always respond to those i mean i respond to comments that also don't have that. But when they donate, I feel like we got to make sure we try to give them their money's worth. Speaking of getting the bag, you guys see that Lewis Hamilton left Mercedes for Ferrari?

That's a no-brainer. I'd do that either way. It is kind of cool. But he is like Mercedes guy. Yeah. He's been with them forever. Ferrari's way cooler than Mercedes. I would agree.

It might be a hot take, but I would also agree. But he's getting like $100 million. I've got to check to make sure of it. It's a season, but I think it's like a season. A hundred million dollars. A lot of money in F1 is absolutely insane. So what did Joe Rogan get to switch to Spotify? Dude, you just got a new deal too.

It was like 200. Oh, okay. Wow. I've been watching the NASCAR documentary too. And like also the sponsors in that. Like it's just like the randomest sponsors. Like any big corporate company that needs like to flow their money into marketing somehow via sports, they do it on a NASCAR.

Like brands you've never or like maybe you've heard of, but they're super huge and then they're like in the pharmaceutical section in Walmart or whatever and they're sponsoring throw it on a race car? Yeah.

I care if they win. That's so weird. I feel like some of them. Yeah. I'm sure they're all trying to race. The races are racing to win but some of the big corporate sponsors I feel like just like

they need to hemorrhage their money somewhere in marketing. Yeah. It's Kyle Bush in that? You still have it out against that guy? I think any true nest car enthusiast does. Really? I'm just pretty sweet to have a, like, sponsor a NASCAR.

Seaboy's TV NASCAR. It fucking crashes every race. Crashes and takes last every race. We're like, yeah, we got a great driver. He's really putting on the, bringing up the entertainment value here. I wonder how much it costs for like one of the tiny stickers that they have on the front quarter panel that you could never see

unless the car was sitting right there. I bet it's a lot. I think if we did it, you'd have to do it on the windshield. Well, that's like the big banner. I could see if our NASCAR sports. sponsored NASCAR crashed with the comments.

Would you guys let Evan drive? Evan is seriously getting a rep for breaking stuff. I mean, that's what he does. Yeah. I commented on a picture of a submarine and it was like, luxury submarine set to be dropped into the water in 2025 or something like that. And I just commented like, oh, boy, not this again or something like that. And people saw my comment and just were commenting underneath it like, don't let Evan drive.

You're like, what? You really can't escape it. It's not my submarine, so I won't, I guess. We should talk about Joe Rogan, though. That's pretty cool that Spotify gave him a ton of money and then also let him post on other platforms. Oh. Yeah, he can go Spotify, Apple, and YouTube. That's really nice.

Yeah. And I think it's smart because, I mean, a lot of people have Spotify, but to get him further, I'm sure they get a cut of revenue or something. Yeah. So it works out. But they probably were like, well, if we put them on YouTube, he's going to make, I don't know, millions of dollars every month just with his catalog. What's our breakdown between YouTube and Spotify? Probably like 75% YouTube, 60% YouTube, 40% streaming.

What do you guys? I have YouTube. You listen or watch? I almost never watch a podcast, but I do watch this one. Oh, I almost always watch. Yeah, same. We got YouTube premium, so like you can lock your phone. Like, you can have it going, and then you can watch for a little bit,

and then you can lock it, put in your pocket, still be listening, open back up, still be watching. Clutch. Interesting. Yeah, it's. I think that's really smart of Spotify to let him out and let that go to more people because there's just more people and they know he's a Spotify podcaster. So just further Spotify's caught up everything.

Maybe he does like a Spotify plug every video or something like that. I don't know. Yeah, I was wondering. There's got to be something mixed in there. But it's interesting that he, your big companies, especially now, still not get it. UMG, which is Universal Music Group, just pulled all of their music from TikTok, YouTube, everything.

How many songs have gone viral because of TikTok? And UMG pulled them all. I have a couple of artists that they pulled off. Seems really dumb. Taylor Swift, the Beatles, Billy Iles, Blake, the weekend, Bad Bunny. I mean, yeah, it does seem pretty whack. How stupid are they? Don't you want your songs?

Well, okay. there's yeah I'm trying to see the other side well the argument is that TikTok is definitely getting the better end of the deal they want a cut of the money from when that song plays yeah I mean but how else are you supposed to get your song on the platform I think that's probably probably a good idea though like if TikTok is like screwing over artists like think about what YouTube play makes no sense though because you'd make ad rev off of it getting views in the music video going popping yeah but like as far as like an artist, like they probably feel more protected that, you know, if, if UMG is going

to do that, they're probably like trying to strong arm TikTok into giving artist like more. I mean, yeah, but if they won't. I think that is very accurate. I just still think it's overall. And I mean, it's one thing if you're Drake because you're the biggest artist, one of the biggest artists in the world. But if you're a smaller artist under there, that would suck. You would just lose all of your free promo. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I mean, you have to go like full-blum. you have to make your own promo on social media and you can't do it on Instagram or TikTok. How are you supposed to promote yourself in 2024?

I have no idea. Without being able to post your sounds on the internet. Yeah, that definitely stuck as a smaller creator. But hopefully what they're, I see where you're saying, Ben. Like they're working towards a bigger goal, which will actually help them in the long run. Help the artist if that's their goal.

Because UMG's always been like the first person, the copyright music on Instagram, on YouTube. Always. I think UMG is just like, oh, we're missing out on money or we're not getting any money and there's being assholes and taking it. Yeah, they could be doing that too. Like, I really don't think that those labels are fair at all either. Yeah, that's what I mean.

I think they're just kind of grab it. How big of a company is UMG? Massive. Oh, huge. They seem to just all of them. The artist isn't really getting typically that much money. They get ripped on all their deals. I saw something like,

artists only get like 20% of the revenue. I'm pretty sure it's less, bro. It depends how you'd negotiate it, but some people are getting way less. that is crazy they get ripped to your point about strong arming ticot more than one third of ticot's most popular songs are gone wow so i mean you take a third of the music from the platform that is definitely something so are all those posts like they'll just silence yeah oh every post that you've made with it so for a lot of people like going through ours that makes sense yeah i mean all those popular songs are they definitely are strong arming TikTok oh trying to yeah try and trying just all social media if they pulled it from everything yeah yeah you used to not be able

to use songs like that were you know copyrighted by UMG on instagram reels they used to get copy written all the time and then taken down and now now like instagram has obviously like the reels and then the music and you can just add it in like that but yeah but now it's probably going to happen again you sure they took it off instagram and youtube i didn't see instagram um well i guess never you never could on youtube but it for sure is tick to umg but like they can still post their song. Yeah. Yeah. So they're fine. That makes complete sense. Like you can, they can post their video, their music video promoting the song and all that and they're going to make money on it. But everybody that makes your song go viral, they can't. I mean, that's how it is

for YouTube videos, though. You think about it. Like, yeah. No copyright song that you can put. Yeah, but it's not nearly as viral of a platform. Like people, that's yeah. Anyway, seem crazy to me that they would pull that marketing plug for their artists instead of just signing a deal that got them money. Well, on to more important things. How do you guys feel about this? I just saw an article that said, climbers of Mount Everest now have to pick up after themselves when they shit.

Yeah, they have to bring their own poop bag down in their own poop. They didn't have to do that before. I saw that Mr. Beast had to do that in this video. Mr. Beast climbed Mount Everest? Sorry, he spent like 24 hours in like the Antarctic. circle or something. Oh, yeah. But they had to pick up all their shit too.

Interesting. I think, like actual shit. Like you can't just shit outside. To me it makes sense. It doesn't go anywhere. It doesn't go away. So, I mean,

they always say like the people who die up there, you stay up there, stuff like that, but nothing decomposes. So I can't, how many people climb on ever? Yeah, I guess I,

I didn't think about the, maybe it was happening in a very concentrated area since people tend to take, what, one way? There's only a couple different routes you can take up that. I didn't think. think about that. I was thinking like they're in the

ton of trash up there too. Right. Right. Yeah. I got to do more research on that then. Because I was thinking like if we're like out snowmobiling and we need a shit in the woods like just do it. Yeah. It's a little bit different than if there was just one snowmobile trail. Right. You're right. You're right. But it's still like you're not. Why's all this shit on the trail? You're still not cleaning up after yourself though at the end of the day. Yeah. Yeah. It's still kind of makes sense. If it if it's just going to

pile up. There's been, in total, about 11,000 summits of Mount Everest. Not 11,000 people, but 11,000 times people have gone up and down. So it's about 800 a year. 800 a year. So I mean, yeah, you got 800 people taking a couple deuses. There's only been that many people. I thought it would actually been more. When was the first time someone climbed Mount Everest? It was in the last hundred years, I want to say. Like now it's getting pretty popular, but I thought the number was Probably way harder, obviously, back in the day. And now it's getting easier just because of equipment. People didn't really, according to this graph,

people didn't really even start doing it until popularly until like the 1990s. Wow. But now, like Ken said, 800 people are doing it a year. But back then it looks like 10 or less. Well, just think about like the equipment. Yeah, and the weather. Like sometimes they have to wait at, you know, base camp number one for like two weeks before they can even go. So then when they can go, everyone goes in a line.

and they just, they're shitting everywhere. If you guys want to watch a good Netflix documentary, watch 14 peaks. So good. Yeah, that's a great. So good. And it just shows, you know, like what all goes into climbing these, these insane mountains. And, like, I can't imagine the shape that you got to be in. Dude, I can barely, when you get, you know, stuck on your snowmobile out in the mountains.

It's huffing. Dude, like, seriously, you can be so in shape or what you think is in shape. and then as soon as you're at altitude, you just, we talked about that in the last podcast with Ev, but, uh, dude, yeah,

man, climbing Mount Everest is like, got to be one of those things that I, I can seriously, never picture myself ever even having interest in doing. No. It doesn't sound fun at all. I always think I want to be a part of that,

but maybe yeah, that, but then I literally climbed 10 flights of stairs and I'm like, I'm not climbing no mountain. You know what I like, I like when the term hike is used. I will, hike a mountain, especially when there's no snow involved.

Done it a few times, it's fun. Climbing a mountain, count me out. If you have to, like, rope onto something. Screw that. Yeah. Now, I don't even like going for hikes. I think I've said this before on the podcast, but like, Greta loved going for hikes. I'm like, this is.

I would much rather take my dirt bike or my stumped. Next time she goes on a hike, you're like, here, I'm going to bring my dirt bike. And then you just blow up it. And she's just like, well, this sucks. I'm doing this by myself now. Ben's showing at the top. Or you're just like overheating, like, that on the. the 450 son on the PW50.

You're just like, just idling up. That doesn't sound very fun. But it makes sense. Yeah, clean up your shit. Yeah. Literally. Dude,

speaking of those oxygen things that Evan was going on about, he bulk ordered them. No way? I saw a box of him in his room, just like bottles of oxygen. He wakes up in the middle of the night. Just takes one.

Yeah, he's going to start abusing those too. I think so. Probably be the best thing he could abuse. I don't think those things do anything. I don't. don't know if they do either, but I'm like, I'm going to get you a black market version of those things called an inhaler because that's kind of what it is. You know, the over the, not over the, he has the over the counter version.

I don't need it. I don't know if it is. I'm pretty sure it's not good for you because if you don't need it, like every time you do it, it weakens your, like conditions you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The oxygen. I can see that condition. Yeah, I remember like kids in hockey, like sometimes like there'd actually be a kid who needed it, but then other kids would like hit it.

Yeah, it wants some. Classic. Don't quote me, but I just would assume it's not good for you if you don't need it. Don't, like, NFL players do that right? When, like, linemen have to go for a long run, they sit down on the bench. Yeah, that's not an inhaler, though. That's a, that's just pure oxygen mask. Yeah.

Oh, they were just using inhalers? Yeah. Oh, what, dude? Yeah, not good. That doesn't seem good. Because it's like a steroid or something like that. It's not just oxygen. Yeah, it expands your lungs or something.

Oh, interesting. I'm not entirely sure. So maybe I'm not the guy to talk about it. I have. a prescribed inhaler, and I am not to talk about it either. Yeah, I don't know if it works or not. It feels like it does. What did you?

I don't really have, I never had asthma attacks. Yeah, so why did you get that? Because remember when I, like, couldn't get into the National Guard? Because I went into the doctor one time, and I'm like, man, I'm just like, wheezy. And in the winter, if I was, well, you're out of shape. Yeah. No, in the winter, it would get worse. Like, you know, you got that.

Like, whatever. or if you're like, like, over-exerting yourself. So they, like, prescribed me an inhaler. And I didn't really use it here and there. Sometimes I come inside after freaking shoveling or, I don't know, running around. But then when the National Guard found that out, they're like, you have asthma, you can't be here, bro. Really? So, and I'm like, I don't really think I have asthma.

How often you use your, yeah, I know. Or maybe you didn't. Yeah. Yeah. Might have worked out. No, no. I thought they didn't let you in because of your foot. No, it was, it was, that was a concern.

but it was that crazy and I'm like I don't even think I really have asthma and they're like how often you have attacks I'm like I never I don't even know what it's like they're just looking you up and down like you see them right down pudgy no I was like pretty scrawny at that time too they're probably like this guy just doesn't have it man they didn't want to let you in what do you want to be in they're like begging everyone else to get in yeah and Mike they're like no no no I want to make t-shirts on the computer they're like no we want guys who want a shoot gun and drive command. Mike's like,

let me design us all a new uniforms. They're like, all right, buddy. I love camo. I got that going for you. I joined the army because I love camo so much. Sir,

can you take a step away from the table for us? Yeah. Why? You step back? I thought those were purple jeans. Oh, shit. Yeah,

that wouldn't be smart to wear those there. Were you in your skater so you weren't dressed like a skater when you went in? I didn't sure I was. Did you have your like mop haircut kind of? I think so.

I mean, I want to say I probably had long hair, but yeah. You got a higher voice then, too. It was, it was awkward. I still have a pretty high voice. So, hold on. It was an awkward issue. They just told you no. No, they kept dicking us around.

Like, I'd go with us. Who's us? Yeah, was it just, like me and my dad. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, my son's signing up for the military gets there. You won't take them? What do you mean?

You guys take everyone. No. You call around asking for people to sign him. He's here. He's here. Right now. We drove all the way here. What do you mean you don't want them?

That's what I was saying. I was like, you guys come to my school and like, and you beg us to come in. You say it's so cool. This guy can literally do anything. You can clean the floors. I even, I know. What about serving food? Bro, but it was like the passing, the whole physical thing.

They wouldn't even let me take the physical because they were concerned about my foot too. And I was like, bro, let's just take it. You don't even have to tell anybody. I'll just perform in front of you, you know, do some sprints. And, uh, they go out to a field and Mike running. All right. You better not be wheezing and I better not see any limp. I want a straight run.

Like the flag pulling back. Mike comes back. Mike, he's doing push-ups? No, I was like ready. I was ready if they ever, I'm like, dude. He's wearing his gym shoes. Uh, had good old Nike freeze back in the day.

Right, neon green. So, okay, so they tell you no. How does that go when they say no? It just basically was like, hey, I need to enroll in school where I need to know if I'm going to basic And then they're like Okay, we'll get

I was like, I need to know in a day. You know, you have a deadline. They're like, I need to know by tomorrow Because I'm going to the school or not. And you know what's bad if you're pushing. Yeah, that's what I was saying. You're giving them a fucking ultimatum. You know they're pushing it off.

That's right. And then draws it lines on deadlines. It's like US government deadlines. Yeah. They, they responded back and they are just like, you know, we regret to inform you.

that your son's too stupid To wheeze, really? They just wrote it to your dad? No, no, they wrote it to me. Like, you don't, it was pretty, he doesn't listen to it. I do realize that this is going to be an extreme disappointment, but I'm sure

you're used to that. No, they sent it to me, and it was like very just, okay, wow. All right. And then literally went into the community college and then enrolled in like a day. I remember that. They don't let you.

Mike's like, well, fine i guess i'll just stick around and work on the farm mike's dad and grandpa like oh i don't know about that what are you what are i going to do i think about that day a lot too because it was a transition point and i don't know why i was still so caught up on this but it was when they said that i had to have a mac for the graphic design class i remember that dude and i was just all like why do i have to have a mac i was like i don't want a mac i have windows and it works well and i'll get a new windows if i have to but i'm not getting a mac and they're like then you can't you will not be able to take any of the classes and i was like i'll get a mac

And then from there, like, I just feel like we just crush it on Max. I love that we all work on Max. And, like, I know it's not that deep, but. Yeah. Dude, do you guys see the new Apple, uh, pro vision or how the fuck is called? Dude. All the, you got yours yet? You ordered one, Ken?

Fuck no. Oh, shut up. Have you seen old people driving cars with those things? Dude, I've seen like more coverage on these things than like so many new cars. So many funny stuff. People are like. They look so stupid wearing them. Oh, 100%.

But I was so caught off by how many influencers, like, we'll say, like, I saw Danny got one. I saw Buttery got one. Obviously, Casey Nice at. That kind of makes sense. I saw like Balin Levine got one. I saw the Nelke boys got one. Like all these people got one on the very first day. And I was just surprised.

I was like, none of these people strike me as someone who would be like, I need this today. But they were all posting about it. And, you know, people are interested in it. I saw roaming got one, you know, all this is kind of interesting. I think it's the new hot thing that everybody, like there's so much coverage on it. Anybody's just going to click a video that has that. It seems like more of a novelty item than a trend. And like VR headsets have been around for forever, but since Apple made it, going back to the Mac thing, they just got some serious pull.

Like you know it's done right. And like it's going to be, you know, a really nice product. It's like $4,000? Like $3,500. $4,000 after tax. Yeah. Dang. But I did a small amount of research on the, you know, the Oculus or whatever, or now it's just called the meta.

The meta three seems pretty decent. And then the price reflects it, but it's the Apple Vision seems way, way, way better. Oh, for sure. Can you see it through the Oculus? The new meta three, yeah, you can. And apparently it's like way better than the, what do they call it? Just pass through, whatever. But it's way better than the meta too.

But then the Vision pros look like they're way better than the meta. What do you use something like this for? like realistically what do you use it for like what is the i saw there's things like you can you can like use your computer screen and then it can like project it like in space yeah have like multiple windows but i was like that seems pointless we could be sitting here ken could be sitting now on the podcast desk but he would just have those on it and then when we ask him a question he just sits there goes like this it'd have been really funny if like ken had it and then like it cuts to ken after like halfway through the podcast

Cassie finally says something. He just has his headset on. I know. I wish you did. I kind of thought you were going to get him. I'm surprised you don't, Ken. I feel like maybe Ken was worried he would get made fun of, so he's like, I'm not going to get it.

I think it'd be nice for a plane. Like you can... Oh, yeah. That's the only way I could see that I would buy one is if I flew a lot more. What would you use your, you know, use your VR headset for primarily, would you say? Basically, you would just watch movies because you can, like, fill the, like, you can give the illusion of a bigger screen. than what's actually there.

Yeah. You can, like, fill the space. But other than that, I was like, what else you're going to do with it? You could, uh, fulfill merch orders

while having everything up on the screen. You actually, and actually kind of say, okay, now I'm starting to see stuff. To customer servicings. Damn, are we talking ourselves in to these?

The biggest, you do the talking thing. You'd just speech attacks. You'd go respond to the email. You'd be actually probably able to do a lot of stuff. Shut the fuck up. Your order's coming. The biggest thing is the past through that it's got to be good.

If the pastor is not good, then all it is is just like a gaming system or a personal theater. It just seems weird that you'd be like... Grabbing things? No, you just use that to click. That's how you click. So you're just like... But you have to look at something.

Your eyes like if we're dead set on... It's crazy. So like you have to intentionally make sure you're locked in on that thing you're looking at to click it. What? And then your fingers just like, it has such a wide field of view. Like you could have your hand down here. You could just be like... That's really what you need is a little like thing on your finger.

So you're not a piece. Should we get one? I didn't want to talk shit on them because I could probably see myself buying it set and then I don't want to be a hypocrite. I'm not necessarily talking shit, am I? I'm just more so like it just seems like a novelty item and I'm just surprised at how many people were like

I need this day one. Like they must have ordered it a while ago and before it was really such a big trend. Like I would have never foreseen it being as popular or as much interest as it's gotten. I feel like for that you're buying a first generation product. Like look at the first generation iPhone compared to what they can do today. Oh, it's going to be amazing.

Like in five years, it's probably going to be worth buying one. But today it's like all that stuff is so limited. Yeah. In the future, it's just going to be like, oh, you have the first one. This is worthless. It's kind of lame that you got that like cord and a battery pack. Like that shit's not going to last around until the second gen. Like, you know, yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I agree. I just, I'm way, I'd way rather have it on my hip than more weight on my. I had true yeah how's that work do you have headphones on or like yeah how does it's like they use spatial audio or something like it kind of just projects right or do you probably sync it up with earbuds I don't know it's like headphone things that don't go in your ears yeah weird so how do you listen to it like play if you want it like quiet no other people can't really hear yeah you guys remember those speakers they were really popular probably I don't know

six seven years ago where they wouldn't make noise and then you put them on a surface and then they turned the whole thing into a speaker. Yeah. Remember those? No. Oh, dude, they were so legit. You like put it on the roof of your car and then your whole car makes noise. What?

Yeah, it was kind of a cool. What happened? Yeah, I bought one of those. I think, I don't think anything happened to them. That was the worst part. I liked the whole idea of it, but they were like $10 Bluetooth speakers that just sounds like shit. I don't know.

Something with the vibrations that does that, but I think it does it on your head. So yeah, you could put it on your head and then you would just hear it in your head. What? That was cool. It's kind of weird. You guys, I remember, like, tooth tunes, the toothbrushes that you can kind of hear your mouth? Yeah, same thing. Was that actually the thing? It was.

I never had one either, but I had, you know, other peers at school that were like, oh, yeah, I got one of those. Yeah, it plays a song kind of. Every day you got like 50 cents. And then, like, every night before you bed, you're listening to them, and then you get all hyped up. That'd be sweet. I don't know what you know about me. But you can't get it out of me. Be kind of legit, actually.

Bring them back. I was back, yeah. Because think the technology is way better now. Yeah, we got shoes we can grind with, toothbrushes with music. We're kind of going back in time. Yeah. Like all good things. Everything comes around.

History repeating itself. Good times, dude. I feel like we went over a lot of stuff. Yeah. I'm going to go to Best Buy and just do some shopping. Dude, next podcast we're all wearing them. That would be, so the other thing is like if anyone is thinking about buying them should literally probably do it in the next two days

because they're probably going to be not talked about in about two weeks. So you've got to make your content now. I'm out of here. All right. Well, that's a wrap. If you haven't subscribed, subscribe. And we'll see you guys in the next one.

Peace.
