FM to get started.
Ooh.
Hold the podcast.
I've got the whole podcast in my hands.
I'm holding it for you.
Better hurry up, though.
I didn't see either right way.
I was just like, it's no one's birthday.
Yeah, I was like, what are we celebrating here, Ryan?
Hey, guys, welcome back to the live by the podcast.
I got Ben, CJ, Micah, Little Boys podcast today.
Give me a hit.
I'm losing it.
Where is it?
Geez, that's a big rip, dude.
Oh, yeah, baby.
That can not be good for you.
Why, you kind of sound like a mini-me from Austin Powers?
Wow, dude, didn't even share that helium over there, bro?
Oh, no, I got a whole other balloon for you.
Oh, whoa.
Take a hit, Mike.
Mike might get addicted to this, though, guys.
It's going to be buzzing.
I can't do that much, CJ.
That's a lot of helium.
I don't even think I've ever done this for in my life.
What?
Okay.
Hello.
That feels so weird.
Oh, my gosh.
Bro, your voice sounds...
Wow.
There's no way that's...
CJ's first time doing helium.
It's crazy.
I sound like Fred.
You do.
You do.
Oh, my gosh.
Why does your voice still sound different, bro?
I took a pretty big hit.
CJ's is stuck.
It never goes back to normal.
It's one and only time doing it.
When you were a little kid, did they tell you not to cross your eyes because they could get stuck?
I heard that.
They did.
Well, did they ever say the same about hitting helium?
I'm pretty sure people just told you not to do it because it was bad for you.
Cross your eyes.
Both.
No, yeah, you're sure.
So I was thinking the other day I ordered tires, wheels.
I got my bumper on the way, lights.
Anyway, I spent a ton of money in my truck, finally going to get it looking the way I want it to.
And it brought me back to the TC.
I also had a memory of it pop up.
I kind of miss that car.
I kind of miss.
What do you miss about it?
I don't know.
It was kind of like a legendary.
you're right i remember very distinctly when you were getting rid of that thing you were getting rid of it
for most of the reasons because you weren't sure if it was going to make it to the next day yeah what do you
miss i didn't and i think completely the opposite i thought you were just getting rid of it because
you're like man i've had this car since i was 15 you know before you even had your license i thought
it was pretty funny i thought it was buzz around in it it was like a fitting car that too but so what i
thought about is uh when i whenever i would do mods to that car i did it in literally the cheapest way
possible like i never bought new wheels for the car until i bent the wheels and i had to buy cans like
we plasty dip the rims remember when i my rims white and then somebody and then somebody made fun
of you and then you pressure wash them off immediately dennis our neighbor dude he was like why
i thought it looked good why would you listen to a no offense dennis but dennis
Oh, guys, when everyone else is like, this looks sick, Ryan.
I did it.
But you guys have also told me many things that are cool when they are not cool.
Dude, transition glasses are cool, Ryan.
You should bring this back.
What have we ever told you that was, that we said was cool that wasn't cool?
I don't know if it was that, but I just feel like we always are encouraging each other to do something because it's going to be funny, not because it's cool.
When you guys, you said, I think Ken, Ryan, you should go through with that car bed prank.
That ended up being cool.
exactly i actually just didn't want to put a halt on it i thought it was going to be good though
i thought it had potential yeah i mean it did come out to being pretty funny at our expense i laughed
but i remember when i bought coilovers for that car i had no money and i had to do a blood draw study
in order to get my money up so i could buy those coilovers we you guys did some weird shit for money
You guys were always doing those Axis clinical studies.
Hold on.
I wouldn't say always.
Do you guys remember maybe you were trolling me?
But I remember you guys went and did one of those studies where you go and stay there for the weekend or two nights or however long and they pay you.
But they like they give you like this pill or something.
But I remember you guys were like, yeah, we're going to do this.
They're going to give us 500 bucks for the weekend.
Like, come on.
Come on.
It's like 1400.
$1,400.
A lot of money.
yep and especially back then you guys like come on come do it and i was like i'm not doing that i don't
i mean that's a lot of money and i'd love that but yeah it's not for everybody i'm not taking
a pill that they're running a study on like you guys are the what was the gany what was the pill for
what i don't know what they don't tell you i don't think they didn't tell you i mean
like you're out with a stiffy well that was the point that i'd probably figure that one out
well that was the point is they came home and you guys texting like
our friends group chat and I think it was Ryan he goes is anyone else having trouble
getting a boner and then someone responds yeah dude I can't get a boner because you guys
had been spent all weekend sitting there no no immediately went to jack off and you guys couldn't
get a boner and I thought that was the funniest thing you know why it was is because there was
48 blood draws in 24 hours that makes sense there was so they was they were literally jabbing you
with a needle every year.
like I think it was 15 minutes for the first couple hours it was fucking awful dude you could not
pay me a million dollars to do what you could a million dollars to do it now you are really
tainted no i know dude it was so brutal you couldn't eat you had to fast for like 16 hours
you had to get stabbed a million times by like they were you know they weren't like nurses
we're you were talking about emergency room doctors or whatever like these people were literally
nurses and training right they were one of they
You bring them in and they go, all right, here's your training session on how to get
blood, stab people.
And then they're like, cool.
Go do 48 of them for like 12 hours.
I'm just glad that we're not in a position to have to do that anymore.
I didn't think it was that bad, but it's not for the faint of heart.
I'm not saying I'm some badass.
It didn't bother me that much.
Jake actually ended up having, Jake Ryan and I did it.
Jake quit halfway through because he got sick.
Everyone's like, yep, that's what happens.
That's not actually doesn't happen that often.
He was just a pussy.
But Jake did get sick.
So he had to back out.
That's right.
It was you three.
They paid him like half still.
But it was funny because it was, you mentioned it.
And then the other one or someone else chimes in, yeah, I can't get one either.
And then, like, a minute later.
I could.
There's only three of us and I could get bonner.
Maybe it was just Jake then that was like, yeah, I can't get one either.
I don't know.
I thought it was really funny.
I'm just, yeah, I'm glad you don't have to do that anymore.
You can do a little lighter ones with the, they just put shit on your skin.
And then it's like, it's like lotion.
And then they pay you like 300, though.
It's not as good.
I mean, your health is probably like the most valuable thing you have.
Well, right, but it's like, are you going in there for them to like...
I needed those coilovers.
I was risking it all.
Are they like messing?
To make your life worse now every time you drive down the street.
It was bumpy.
It was bad because you could only afford the cheap ones.
CJ always talks about you were pretty smart.
CJ was pretty smart with his car mods.
You know, you never did anything really too half fast.
I don't mess with Placie did.
No.
No, he was tickers.
He was tasteful.
You were tasty.
He was from Amazon.
Yeah, whether it took you driving a stock car for another six months,
you then saved up the money to buy the tasteful.
Well, I think it makes you look worse.
No offense to anyone doing this.
And there's plenty of people.
No, they need to hear this.
But I literally think it makes your car look worse if you try to cheap out by making your,
so like someone will have like a freaking Chevy cruise, you know,
just a normal car.
And it's a nice car.
there's nothing wrong with them but then they try to make it they treat it as if it's like a
a rx sTI and and they go in and buy like the cheapest freaking wheels they can find they don't
look good and then they put like a racing stripe on it it still looks like a monster truck and then
they and then they'll go to like the muffler shop and and get the exhaust basically just
chopped and straight piped if they do that dude they might just go buy the freaking invidia
straight pipe cat back no i the
Going to the muffler shop and getting your muffler chopped with just a welded, that's like 50 bucks.
And then it's like they just put a bunch of stickers on it and they try to street race everyone.
Yeah.
That's what I felt like you kind of put yourself in that category.
It's like you want to like be cool, but you don't really know how to do it.
Mike, you had a, you had your Buick, which was before we knew.
Did you do any shitty mods to that?
Other than the subs.
No, yeah, it was like the subs were like, that's what made it fun.
You get in there.
Well, the subs, there's nothing wrong with that.
Right, and so luckily I did not do any stupid mods to the Buick.
But then, fast forward to the Jeep, I had a red Grand Cherokee.
Didn't do a ton of stupid mods on that, but Placidip, the rim's black, and it made it look way better.
Way better.
That wasn't too bad.
But that's what I'm saying.
There's levels to it.
There is levels to it.
And you also got to keep in mind, some people can't afford nicer things, but they're just, they're passionate.
it and they're excited about doing any kind of work to your car.
So, CJ, anything that doesn't align with exactly what you would do,
you immediately think it's like bullshit.
It's not exactly what I would do.
It's just when you're putting a freaking racing stripe on a Chevy cruise.
Maybe the Chevy Cruise was gifted to them and they can't afford any different car.
That's fine.
I guess it's just like, it looked better when it was just normal.
There's certain things that you just shouldn't do.
Exactly.
To a car.
but then if you do have a car and you can't afford the nicest thing,
but you want to do little things, then let that be, you know,
even though it's even if it's not an STI, like who cares?
Here's another example.
My little brother, and he was a young kid, got his license.
I don't know.
He must have been 15, 16.
And he had a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
So it's not like a Jeep that's meant for off-roading.
It's just a grand Cherokee.
for some reason he thought it would be a good idea to go to his friend's house and cut right at right in the dead center he basically just cut a hole in the exhaust to make it sound loud and he comes pulling up to the house and it sounded like complete shit exhaust yeah yeah he basically just made an exhaust leak to make it loud and my dad was so mad he was so mad like it just i mean it's you know it was a normal vehicle and then it just immediately made it look like shit granted it was
probably, I don't know, it must have been
dang your 22 years old at that point.
Doesn't matter. But he was so mad. And I remember
I just, I felt bad for him because it was like he was trying to do something cool.
He likes cars and he didn't necessarily have a cool car. I understand that.
But I sat down with him. I was kind of just like, you know,
there's certain cars that you want to have loud.
And there's certain cars that just really shouldn't be loud.
And that vehicle isn't really a car that's
gonna should be loud but later on in life you can get a car like a something i don't know a camero
and then put a lot put a loud exhaust on it that that'd be awesome but most of the people that probably
have a 22 year old jeep grand jerky and they're 16 years old and they like to go mudding
they're probably going to just make that thing loud no man it just i thought it was untasteful
i'm picturing you having it it it probably is but like think let's go to his next car where he put
the LED lights right so then the next car was a two
I like those.
I still like those.
But then, so, like, did it look the best?
Maybe not.
But I bet you every time he walked out, he locked his car.
You know, the car guy, look back at your car when you look back at?
I guarantee he did that.
And that's worth something.
I think it's, I think it's cool.
Yeah, it's like you're doing the things you can do at the moment.
But sometimes it's just like the short-term gain isn't always the best.
You could have just saved up all these little tiny mods or whatever and just,
put it into something that would have made the vehicle better
or just a whole new vehicle, you know?
It's like this 2003 Sequoia than he had.
This is like a family vehicle.
Like, I mean, it's a family vehicle.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
He was younger.
He was younger.
He was younger.
He's got a cool-ass Jeep now.
That's true.
And it looks dope.
It looks dope.
But, you know, this goes back.
Some cars just aren't supposed to be.
Anyways, he had this 2003 Toyota Sequoia.
and he like went through and plassy dipped all the badges black and like
I mean it was just kind of like why why Mike's like if you do it right doing that to this day
Ryan's over there helping him I'll do the tape job but back then you guys were always
plassy dip and all your stuff and I was just like it just doesn't it's not the same effect
yeah but it costs it the same effect and it gets people like it's something exciting it's
Like, you're like, why don't you just save up and buy something big?
Bro, you want little dopamine hits of the little things showing up and then you throw it on even if it's a fucking bad.
My point is it just is it never, you never make it what you want it to be.
Like, they're looking at all these vehicles.
And that's okay.
But you could have just saved that money.
Save your fucking money.
Yeah, but what are you really going to make into what you want it to be if it's not a car that's going to be, like be something cool?
Save your money and buy something cool.
Save it up.
Yeah, but it's.
I probably spent like $25 on plastic dip.
And it's like, you spend $20 here.
That's very minimal, but it's just like there is times where you can ruin the car.
And then it's like, if you would have just left it normal and save that money,
you could have sold this car to pretty much anyone else on the market that was looking for,
for example, a Chevy cruise.
But instead, you put racing stripes all over it.
And some other 16-year-old kid is like, yo, it's already got everything.
No, no, no, no.
No, but they don't pay for that.
car as much as it would be
if it was just untouched.
So now you just...
Those kids don't think of it like that.
Yeah, but most kids, they don't have money
to pay what it should be full price.
So now they're getting the cheap one.
So you just lost money buying all these shitty mods
and then you lost money on the car.
You lose money on mods anyway.
Yeah, no, you do.
But if it makes a car look better...
In your opinion, though.
I guess we'll just have to agree with this week.
I don't care about Placidip.
It makes sense.
Like, it's cool.
Like, I wouldn't do it, but like go ahead and do it if it's fun.
It's obviously removable.
It's not permanent.
But like, you put freaking Lambo doors on a Chevy Cruise.
That's dumb.
Don't do that.
Save the money.
Dude, I would see that in laugh.
But don't do that.
Don't do that for real because then you go to this car meter or whatever and everyone's just like,
what is this guy doing?
You don't earn yourself respect.
You almost, you just waste it.
bunch money and you just look stupid and i'm just trying to help some people maybe don't realize
my my cousin ran into a guy out in the public i i actually didn't know that this this was a real thing i
did but i i'd never met anyone that had seen one in real life a squatted truck where it's got the
where it's got the lean in the back you can barely see over the over the front whistling diesel has
made like a couple videos on him hates them and he he kind of made made it you know
very clear to the public that these are nuisances to be on the road and they're ridiculous.
I honestly, I thought that they were built as a joke.
I didn't know that there was like people out building these driving around Minnesota roads.
And the more squatted, the better it is to these guys.
Yeah.
So my cousin goes, no shit, I found one in the wild.
It's a red squatted truck.
It's like a 2004 GMC, you know, basically what you would picture it.
And then opens up the door.
it's got the fur headliner and everything yeah there's certain mods that go with it yeah so why is that a thing
that that that's something that shouldn't be done i agree and i and how i love how whistle and diesel is going
after them i don't think anybody's nobody is defending them and i just remember seeing there's one
for sale in fargo it's just good old carolina skelean or whatever swat and he is getting shredded
he's been trying to sell that thing forever yeah and it's just like dude wouldn't you wrap
Just take the lift off and then not have to deal with the comments and get the truck sold.
But no.
Instead, he's got one guy maybe interested and 290 other people being like, your truck's stupid.
Well, it's not practical.
And that.
Also, yeah.
And who thinks that looks good?
Probably spent all his money trying to get this Carolina squat.
Now he can't convert it back.
And now he can't sell it either.
So I wonder, like, when you roll up to your girlfriend's dads or something and you,
and you're rolling in a big truck or a stupid little ranger,
like, you know, dumb mods with plasticity up all over it or something?
What happens when you roll up in a squatted truck, though?
Well, I don't think you're pulling up to a girlfriend's house.
That's what I'm saying.
Of all things you can pull up in.
It's family.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, that's funny.
Whistland diesel's got this whole vandetta against squatted truck drivers.
CJ's going to start one against Chevy Cruise driver.
I don't have anything against Chevy Cruisers.
He's going to be like, fuck these guys.
Who buys that?
I'm just saying that as an example.
It could be anything.
Even like, in my opinion, a Dodge Dart is pushing it too.
Like you ever seen that Dodge Dart?
He put a spoiler on the back.
That was an anomaly though.
See, I think that guy might have been drunk.
So that kid, that kid, he could have just took that, that spoiler could not have been cheap.
He had to install it.
I'm pretty sure it was.
an APR front splitter and
rear wing. So that could not have been
cheap. Could not have been cheap. Right
there. That guy's got more money
than brains then, okay? Why not just upgrade
your car to, like, you could buy
a used
Subaru W.R.X or a
BRZ. It's not, it'd be pretty much
the same cost as that car. But instead you
just ruined that car. No one's going to want
it. And you just spent a bunch of money.
I'm just trying to help
people. Honestly, just save your money.
Or use it on something useful.
That's my whole point.
Like a seamer truck.
And bought that money.
Yeah, but our seema truck, people love that.
At what age?
It's different.
It's different.
16? Hell yeah.
20.
Completely different.
I don't think so.
Anyway.
So at the end of the day, I guess, use your judgment when modding your vehicle.
You know, send it to CJ on DM.
Ask him if this is okay.
It doesn't matter.
It's just my recommendation.
And, you know, I would have never went and spewed all that if I wasn't asked my
opinion on it.
That's true.
That's true.
If I wasn't on my goddamn podcast.
Yeah, I don't know.
So, like, that's just my opinion.
Or, like, when you, here's another really good example.
You get carbon fiber wrap, and you wrap your hood.
Dumb.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
It just looks terrible.
It looks terrible.
Like, I'm just trying to help.
All right.
Fuck it.
Go buy your T.C. back.
I'm buying it back.
I'm wrapping the holding carbon fiber.
Super long story short.
It's on it.
Dude
All right, what?
What, Ken?
Oh, CJ's rant.
Don't modify your car unless you have a giant budget.
That's not at all what I'm saying.
This guy sucks.
He buys like five cars is like on a car, YouTube channel,
all of his buddies and best friends and partners
are all blowing their money on their mods and everything.
Ken doesn't spend a dime.
He doesn't even buy an exhaust for his focus arrest that it's
meant to have an exhaust.
He doesn't do that because he goes,
I'm going to sell it.
Doesn't sell it for four years.
He did buy Clevis his brunco.
Okay, so Hot Take, hot take.
Can I think, granted, you've had quite a few vehicles.
Hot Take has, gets more compliments on his vehicles than I think,
I mean, now we've all got some pretty cool vehicles.
All I'm saying is Blue RS that got the Tesla.
There's a lot of, he gets a lot of compliments.
He drives the Bronco to the bar.
Granted, it's not modded, but a bunch of guys are,
you got that new Bronco.
that's really cool.
But if, like, I had, you know, a 20, 2021, Ford F-150 lifted and had a shitload of money into
it, like, clean, though.
No one would really, they go a nice, nice truck.
Ken, you were talking about modifying the Bronco until we started saying, well, Ken,
if you're going to do it, then you got, you got at least go all out and get this size lift.
He's like, I'm going to put, like, and this size wheels.
And he's like, well, if I go too big, it won't fit in the garage.
We're like, God forbid you.
God forbid he hops in a cold car.
A four-inch lift with 37s is not big enough.
Is that what you ended up going with?
Well, they can't fucking order anything, so...
He wanted smaller, but he had no tolls.
Is that what you went with?
Well, so far, every lift is on back order for like six months, so...
I'm taking what I can get.
All right, well, baby steps, Ken.
I like to see you...
Yeah, I'm proud of you.
I like to see you at least open to the idea.
I may have another one in order next year.
Yes.
Oh.
Another Bronco, Ken?
What Bronco could you be getting that would be better than the one you have?
You guys can guess.
How do you get that?
You could ask people.
Don't worry.
It won't shot until 2025.
Can you and Amelia pulling some strings?
No.
So last week, we finally got to go check out our new land that we just got.
we finally did we could have had any way it's funny no you don't want to ruin the authentic like
reaction to it was a good thing it was a good thing we did it's a good thing we did so you know we got
this land and you could kind of see it from the road and there's a decent size patched trees but
I just assume there's nothing back there like all of us did I know we said this we legitimately
drive past it at least yeah once or twice a day it means just right next to us and so anyways
we go and we're exploring it on video
And we're walking through this patch of woods thinking like,
oh, this is just going to be a bunch of trees back here.
But we'll be like, oh, this will be cool for putting a trail for dirt bikes in it or whatever.
We come across this old house.
There's an old abandoned house, an old abandoned, like outhouse.
There's an outhouse and like a shed.
And like a shed.
And then we see this well pump.
And it even still goes up and down.
No water came out, obviously.
But it said 1890 on there.
I don't know why.
We were just all so surprised.
by it. It was so cool.
Yeah, and we talked to some people that have been around the area and they're like,
oh, yeah, you know, I don't know that you say that there did used to be a farm said,
but it was falling down when I was a kid.
Yeah, and these people were like, like 70 years old.
Yeah.
I mean, the people that obviously must have lived there in that time, like,
they had to have been some of the first settlers of Cormon, you know,
in the late 1800s.
There had to been no one here, dude.
Why would they go there?
I don't know.
How do you?
It seems so kind of near water.
Not really.
It was a swamp.
Yeah, but I think the water table used to be higher.
Oh, it was lower, I thought.
Because the lakes were divided and then they came.
In the like eight, the 1900s, they were lower after the drought.
That's when they went way down.
Right.
But I think they were higher back then.
I'm not really sure.
I'm not a freaking geologist.
It is interesting, though, because like, imagine that.
Like, you, uh, you just start heading wet.
And then you're just like, right here.
It's super cold in the winter, miserable, and very hot in the summer.
Here's something interesting.
Detroit Lakes, which is a town right nearby, was founded by a French guy.
Well, no, Colonel George Johnson in 1871.
Okay, so it was founded 20 years before that homestead was built.
Well, I bet it was founded.
And I hate to be a Debra Downer here, but this pump is from 1890.
I don't know if that's, you know,
they didn't go to the store and buy it brand new
and say, planet, it's 1890, let's go.
That's true.
But, I mean, in the same era.
Yep.
But the railroad came through in 1877.
That's when they built the railroad here.
I can't imagine many people were hopping off and, you know,
like this is our spot.
Like, there would be very few.
Why would you want to stop here for how brutal the winters are?
Well, they probably didn't know how much further or really even.
and how close they were, you know, to the edge.
We find out C-J is a flatterer.
And also imagine you've been traveling for so long.
You know how long that took and how miserable that was?
Yeah, you're probably just like, let's just...
You got a whole family, all your stuff, you're like,
all right, I've had enough of this.
We've been in this little horse carriage.
Dang near died multiple times probably.
And little Timmy is sick with polio or whatever.
Yeah.
And we've got to stop.
Like, it's just, I'm, let's stop.
We're good here.
This looks good.
I think there's like a thing about how if, you know, like the strong people made it to the
West Coast and if you were lazy, you stopped in Colorado.
Like that was the stuff for lazy people because you'd made it across the easy part of the country.
How lazy could you have been?
Well, the past.
But yeah.
Right.
You kept going.
That makes sense.
You know, like, although there was the people, they were the top percent of like the adventurous people,
but they were the people that got there and were like, fuck this.
We're done with this.
And then they just stayed.
Yeah, because you don't have to go over the mountains and all that.
That's kind of interesting.
Yeah.
Because I feel like nowadays, like if you're known for being in, like, the Midwest, like, generally, like, the men around here are pretty tough.
I'm not saying we are, but, like, a lot of, like, men, I'd be very confident.
Winters killed them off.
No, but I get what CJ's saying.
Like, I'm saying the people that live here now are, like, very, like, you're a hardworking person.
Like, you don't really get away with being a lazy guy around.
here you know a lot of these people are farmers or you know blue collar like you work hard and
use your hands and i don't know if people because the oregon trail well where where do the
oregon trail like if people were going west were they going through minnesota though that seemed
no yeah like we were like that's i don't know if you came the north way if you were trying to go
uh west right like i i i don't think people were stopping here like you may it got to chicago
more like destinational like you were going up maybe not i don't know we need a fucking local
geographer yeah seriously this um this area had to have been mostly for what timber
that yeah timber and farming i guess yeah i mean the house out uh or the shed on our property
in the woods granite's all falling down when i was looking at the walls it was literally just
trees like they had a tree and they just somehow sawed it right down like the top in the long way
and they didn't even, like, do the other side.
So, like, the other half of, like,
well, the other side was just, like a legit tree.
Oh, yeah.
You're like, it looks like a tree.
Yeah.
And then the inside, they just, like, made their own cement and just put it on the walls.
You know, it's funny.
It literally looks like they, like, spread it out with, like,
impressive that, like, that chimney is still standing there.
Yeah.
You know, what's funny, though, is the rental house I just bought in DL was built in 1900.
Really?
Yeah.
What?
That old?
Yeah.
1900?
Yeah.
Like just flat, 1900.
1900.
The fuck.
You're right in history, Ben.
Yeah.
Holy smokes, Ben.
Yeah.
We're just all concerned.
Oh, yeah.
No.
Did you know it's old?
That's really old, though.
Yeah, but if you look at it, you wouldn't, you wouldn't think that.
Like kept it up.
Yeah, it looks fine and the foundation is fine and like everything is like not a hundred and 23 years old.
Because they just don't build them like.
they used to. Right. But then you also go into the woods and you're like, so they built this
10 years before they built that. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying like, there's different levels.
Like I don't know when freaking skyscrapers were built, but you know, there was like,
there was technology in that time. But then there was also people that were like, we're going to go
start a farm in the middle of nowhere. So there was different levels of living. Like there was probably
places where you took a bath at night. And then there was places where you went to the pond and got water.
Well, NDL is a town.
Yeah, it's like a city.
Like, my grandma grew up and she is like 80, in her upper 80s.
Like, they didn't have power when she was a kid.
Wow.
But you could live in the city, like the fucking Empire State was built.
Yeah.
Or the Empire State Building was built.
You know, like, there was different levels of life.
But did they have power in the Empire State Building?
I'm pretty sure they did, yeah.
But, like, I mean, you've seen all those pictures in New York when they're riding around on a horse
and stuff so congrats on that rental house thanks dude exciting yeah we got our accountant just
he's like buy real estate buy money making assets well like of course he said we're football
he's treating oh yeah the same equivalent of an athlete yeah that could just piss away our money
and that go pro that's exactly he must have told all of yeah he said i'm treating you like a football
player that's okay he said he's like yeah i spend money have fun but uh spend
some money that will make you money too i mean it's good advice to have and he's all about us
meeting more people to get us better advice he was stoked that we bought the land it's not the land's not
necessarily going to make us money because we don't plan on selling it but it's going to make us
money in the content in the content for sure and i'm excited for spring it was cool to be cool to go
and check the uh i guess those properties or the abandoned buildings when there's not a bunch
snow there's so much snow there's so much snow we're trying to
and through yeah what is our what is our plan with that like the take it down leave i don't well it's
tough because like and i'm not saying that weird yeah i don't know do we clean that up i think we
clean it up a little but i think we like leave that foundation itself i got a little a little less
excited about it because when i was younger living in the country i would like go wander and
kind of do that didn't find anything quite like a foundation you know you find cars and old barrels
and, like, obviously, sheds and whatever.
And so I like to leave it.
I think it's cool.
Unless we want to put something there.
We should go start putting, like, our cars out in the woods.
Like, we put your ranger out there.
Every time we destroy a peanut instead of the scrapyard,
we just start putting them out in the woods like they used to back in the day.
People are going to.
Why did they do that?
I probably couldn't get rid of it.
Because it was the same way on my grandparents' farm.
There was just cars in the woods.
Yeah, why is that a thing?
And they've been there for so long.
There was trees.
I don't know where they, how they would have gotten them back.
They've been there for that long.
I mean, look, we've got two snowmobiles out in the worst here.
We've got a couple of them over there.
Good.
So we're at a good pace.
Yeah, we're at a good pace.
But there is, like a major transition between when those snowmobiles out there now,
which are very sad, just buried in the snow, between now and when a tree starts growing through.
You know, true.
But it was really funny, too.
Yeah, someone I worked with that Lake lives around the area, drives by, takes a snap of the Kenban.
And then just goes, why did you guys just leave?
leave it out there.
I'm like,
where's been?
That's been parking there for so long.
What do you mean?
I mean,
that too.
But I'm like,
you never saw that?
Everyone's like,
there's the first thing they noticed.
You just left that can band out there.
It's almost like a sign.
Yeah,
it really is.
You know,
a billboard.
Speaking of sign,
I want to get a freaking huge flagpole.
I want the biggest flagpole.
Still yes.
I was going to say I want to put like an advertisement.
I thought you were going to say billboard.
Like the interstates.
We wanted to do that for a long time and just said home of this.
No.
I think it just says,
SeaboysTV.com.
Can you just throw that up?
Or it's just us like this.
I don't know.
I mean,
if you build their own.
Is there like rules?
It's like the most useless billboard.
We just have it say hi.
Well,
that sounds like those are they say smile.
Yeah,
because I was like,
well,
we could do something funny
and as long as it brightened
everyone's day,
they'd remember it.
You know,
if it said,
CboysTV.com.
You could change it up as much as you want.
Yeah, true.
Should we get a digital one then?
No,
no, I want an old-
$25,000.
$25,000.
25,000.
It might be more.
Might be more.
I'm talking big.
Like digital.
You could put it like you would see an
announcement and stuff on there.
Yeah, like merch,
new merch drop.
Let all the neighbors and shit.
No.
Congrats on your weight loss, Ben.
You know,
stuff like that.
And this is a constant thing for us.
Every day we're changing.
Dude,
it'd be a blast.
You could put funny stuff up.
We got like the local business owners
coming to us.
They're like,
all right,
what's the going rate?
I want 10 seconds for,
on Fridays.
Yeah, Friday's our day
We'll re-advertise for Ken's drinking
Yeah, we have at least
We can guarantee
On your sobriety
We can guarantee
At least 30 people drive by it
So we charge more
What if we did?
It's so funny though
And like it's going to be put right into the
Found out like it's going to be in there
Set into the ground
It's not coming down
Billboard
You got me on this digital
Billboard idea
I know I know
What if we did a digital billboard
Or what if we just did a billboard
And it says
Dase, Ken's been sober
It just always keeps saying zero
For the record
We're attacking Ken a little bit on this
It could go for any of us
But that's funny
That is really funny
Just zero every time
Or maybe us one
Like Dase for CJ like Dase jacking off
Zero
We're gonna need some like equipment now
I just watch Whistle and Diesel's
Excavator video
I'm not gonna lie
Super entertaining
Well, yeah, he spent $450,000 on just the excavator, though.
And then I love how, like, he destroys the bus and then a shipping container.
And then the tractor was hilarious.
He just drugged this tractor around, like, a criminal behind a horse in the olden days.
Like, just flying everything around.
And it made me really want a $500,000 excavator.
You should buy one, Mike.
I didn't think about it, but I got to make my money work for me.
Like, do I rent that out?
Excavator, Mike.
Mike starts a...
Construction business.
With just the biggest excavator I can get my hands on.
You're picking up a small landscaping job.
It'll take 50 men with shovels three days, but I'll do it in 10 minutes.
So then, yeah, like, whatever happened to that, you know, excavation business you had, Micah,
first job I had ended up knocking half the house down, so got sued.
Lost Excavator, got out, lost excavator, got out.
pretty good and never went back to dirt work again.
They actually don't even let me drive skid steers now.
It's just a legal thing.
My just dummies of customers.
I'm like digging in and then boom.
He would come out and be freaking out of him and he would be so calm like,
what?
It wasn't my fault.
We're going to get this figured out.
I mean, it is what it is.
It's like when you hire an arborist to cut down your tree in the front yard
and then they cut it down the wrong way
and it lands on your house.
If you're an arborist
and you cut a tree down on someone's house,
it's like, hey man, I hired you to do one thing
and you did the opposite.
Well, tough getting a chainsaw guy
at lumberjack to come over.
Even when your roommates,
brothers won,
I can't even get Cody to come over.
We can't give Cody too much slack, though,
because he came and cut the hole
in front of our house for the ice for you guys
on pretty short notice.
So I got an interesting topic.
for you guys so we didn't post that video because we had uh we didn't end up posting it at its
expected time or the plan time that we had because we needed to finish it and cut this hole in the
ice and you guys were going to jump in and that was going to be the end of the video it would have been
weird if we wouldn't have put that in or held it until the next one so and we're trying to cut
the ice ended up just taking a lot longer than expected and we post this thing we're like hey
we're not going to be able to get the video out on time.
And there's like, I'd say there are a very small percentage of our subscribers
because obviously it's just the people who say something get noticed.
But I'm not kidding you.
Like just the meanest, most aggressive DMs just calling us like lazy pieces of shit.
Like you need to get your shit together.
Like what are you doing?
Like you guys are so done, you know, just being this flat out mean.
And I'm like, what?
So you like watching our video so much
That you obviously must like us
But you also like them so much
That you are chewing me out
Call me a lazy piece of shit
Like I've been working on this thing for two days
Like you don't realize how hard it is to put this together
But it's such a weird concept
They like you so much
But they're like talking to you
Literally trash talking you
Like they hate you
Yeah
Because you're not posting a video for them to watch
Of you just doing whatever you normally do
it's unfortunate man they are confused individuals yeah i almost dude i almost ripped some kids back
but honestly it's just not i don't really care not to yeah but it's just like i'm not gonna waste
my time responding something like that you're just an idiot if you if you deem us stuff like that
you're an idiot i'd rather respond to somebody who has a nice message that's true spend the time
saying something back to them which we try our best to do again i think we've said it but like
i would be lying if those comments weren't the ones that i wanted to reply to
And some of them, some people aren't quite as mean.
And some people are just like, yo, are you guys good?
There was no post on Thursday.
Seriously, if there's anything wrong, you should let us know or something.
And I was like, no, it's good.
We missed the Thursday for reasons that we can't explain over an Instagram comment.
Yeah, yeah, make a video for you.
Suddenly you end up having two videos this week.
We had one Monday.
And then we're going to have one on Thursday.
You know, it was still the same number of posts.
Yep.
And after a certain amount of time, I'm talking like two weeks no video, maybe three weeks
no video, you should be concerned unless we say something.
Right.
Yeah, for us.
But even with like so many other, there's YouTubers that literally don't post, they
sometimes post one video month.
Yeah.
And I wonder if they get reamed like we get reamed.
Yeah, I know.
But also like we're pretty like, we've been on the schedule for so long.
That's true.
But still, it's just sometimes things come up.
It's just how it goes.
Yeah.
That's the tough thing.
about being on a schedule.
I think being on a schedule works on our favor so much more.
I think it works against us.
Being on a schedule on YouTube, I think works better for most YouTubers.
A lot, a lot.
I think the, it creates a routine.
It creates a routine.
But mostly for the viewers.
And when the viewers are on routine to watch our videos at a certain time, it boosts the numbers and everyone is happy.
I'd agree with that, but also it's for us because otherwise you can just keep saying.
like, oh, we'll do it tomorrow.
Right.
We'll do it the next day.
Yeah.
Oh, we got time.
I think that's the difference between idea-based creators and then relationship-based creators.
If you're an idea-based creator, it doesn't really matter when the title and thumbnail pops
across your viewer's screen, they're going to click on it either way.
Eventually.
Right.
Either it's, yeah.
But relationship, they build some kind of trusting you.
And then as soon as you...
It's like a routine.
Right.
It's a routine.
And they're like, well, Thursday night.
I always watch this.
video and then as soon as they miss one Thursday they're like they're like mad about it yeah
kind of maybe threw up the routine but it's tough because we are just as much idea based as we are
just vlogging whatever the heck we're doing you know like we try to make our videos as good as possible
and as big as we can within reason so like that's where that sometimes comes in that way yeah
yeah i think yeah i think moral stories that's why we're doing the best videos we can good you know
we've also been doing it for a long time Thursday
night's yeah you know so it's it's not like we're switching up the schedule where it's like yeah we're on
a schedule but you know sometimes mondays sometimes thursdays where it's like every single
thursday guaranteed and then the sprinkling mondays yeah so missing a thursday is a little tougher
you're gonna get more we're gonna get more comments if we miss a thursday yeah but if that makes you
mad your emotional response is wrong you should just be like well i now i'm looking forward to monday
Or like, I hope they're okay
Or I hope that they're getting something done
Or I'm excited for what they have up
Messaging Logan Paul like, dude, fuck you
You need to get your shit together, man
I don't know what the fuck you're doing
But figure it out
You're lazy asshole
You need to start posting
Yeah
Like it'd be just so, it's so weird
It's like, I don't know
It's just a weird way of encountering it
Hey, so what did you want to talk about?
Well, I want to tell you about Wagoe
Yeah, Wagoe.
What about it?
On second thought
I might not be the right person to tell you.
Oh, you're not?
No, just ask your doctor about Wagovi.
Yeah, ask for it by name.
Okay, so why did you bring me to the circus?
Oh, I'm really into lion tamers.
You know, with the chair and everything.
Ask your doctor for Wagovi by name.
Visit wagovi.comi.com for savings.
Exclusions may apply.
And maybe it's the way because we have like dealt or like now that we are creators,
we see the other side of it.
I just don't understand how someone can be upset.
It doesn't make you...
It is a compliment in a way, though.
That's true.
It doesn't like you make them any less.
I'm glad that we're able to elicit such a...
Response.
Strong response out of people because they must like it, obviously.
It'd be a problem if nobody said anything.
Yeah, right.
Then I'm not complaining.
I just think you could say it nicer.
That's true.
I did think it was funny when they called us cheap fucks for not hiring an editor.
Dude, I wish we could.
So obviously, guys.
know we are working with Polaris and the new 23 sleds came out we just got to ride a few of
them uh in a video it was super cool they boosted the trail sled the put turbos they put turbo
factory turbos on the trail sleds even the one the short track the 128 it is bananas bananas
I can't believe I can't believe that they could sell these to people it's a safety hazard
the snowmobile I have right now is already plenty
Fast.
Have you, obviously, not everyone maybe I've seen it, but you will see it.
Ryan wheeling this thing, it just wheelies on its own.
Like, you could wheel it over backwards if you really wanted to.
Like a snowmobile, really, you couldn't do this before, like, just very recently.
You had to like set it up.
Segment also go over 100 miles an hour.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bro, you can't legally drive a car 100 miles an hour.
And you're telling me you can strap yourself to something.
Going a hundred on a snowmobile is very sketchy.
In my opinion, it's, unless.
you know exactly like where you're going but if you're going across the lake if you're going
across the lake and you haven't done a test run it is so dangerous there could be an ice ridge
there could be anything you know i remember one time when i was a kid me and my dad i must been like
maybe eighth grade we're going and we were probably just going like maybe 50 or 60 across this
lake and still buzzing we're buzzing highway speed and anyways he was like up here and then i was behind him
Just by a little bit, but, like, next to him at the same time, if you give what I'm saying.
And he hits this ice ridge because it was kind of, like, the visibility wasn't great.
Hits this ice ridge, and I'm dead-ass here.
So he hits it and flies in the air.
Your dad?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, he was really high, like, to the point where I was looking underneath.
Like, I saw the bottom of the snowmobile.
And I immediately grabbed the brake and, like, kind of, like, absorbed it and managed.
I still jumped a little bit, but, like, I was able to prepare for it.
My dad, for a dude who should not be airborne.
I mean, he landed, like, on the front of the snowmobile, like, his leg, like, bent the handlebars down, broke the windshield.
He, like, tumbled off to the side, which honestly, he landed pretty good for a dude who's never hit a jump in his life.
But, I mean, it was, it just happened like that.
And ever since then, I'm like, I need to know where.
Or I just let someone else, if they want to.
I'll drive super fast.
I'll ride right behind you, but I'm a distance myself.
It was back before you had phones with internet on them, or at least we didn't have them,
and he had this garment that we would use to, like, navigate the trails.
And he had it in his pocket, and that's the part that, like, hit on his leg on the handlebar,
and it, like, crunched it.
Like, crunched it around, I remember.
Holy shit.
Oh, geez.
But, yeah, these new sleds that they just released are, like, legitimate rocket ships.
Yeah.
Because they used to use the turbo.
to make up for the power you lost at elevation and now they're doing it on mountain sleds
yeah on mountain sleds and now they're doing the trail sleds for around here so they're just
making more power if you think about the comparison of like a Subaru impresa yeah to a
wrx imagine strapping the same device to something that weighs like 400 pounds right well and that's
the thing they have i shouldn't say as much as a wx but um circling back to ryan's tc that
had 180 horse at the time it didn't seem like a lot but 180 horse it was plenty
that's how much these snowmobiles have.
And they weigh 400 pounds.
So fast.
I actually didn't see that coming.
They don't like obviously disclose this information to us.
I didn't see the Midwest turbo coming because I was, my brain, not necessary.
Yeah, you don't really need it.
They're so good right now.
They have to start doing that though.
I know, yeah.
I don't know.
Then we wrote it, especially the assault, a little longer track.
If you guys like doing wheelies, that is, I don't know.
They all do wheelies though.
Oh, yeah.
You know, $8.50 will do wheelies.
Yeah.
And so when they came and like,
so they show up with the sleds,
they have these two sleds,
and then we're like, wow, turbo snow wheels.
That's really cool.
Like, you know,
it was a complete surprise of us.
And we had to sign these waivers
because it was like a month before they were going to be announced.
And these were like the two units
and they were going to be going around
and showing them with other athletes.
I literally spent like two minutes on it
because I just didn't trust myself.
I'm not going to wreck this thing.
I'm not going to wreck it.
I don't trust myself.
I don't want to be the one who does it.
And Ben, dang near erected at the end.
He hit a tree.
So close.
I mean, tap the tree, basically.
But if you were going any faster.
He was going like 60 and then went down to zero and used a tree for help.
I couldn't see.
My goggles were like completely iced up.
So I came over a hill and I'm looking through the bottom part of my goggle, right?
Everyone's been there.
And I'm like, okay, I think this is a corner here.
I was like, oh shit, this is a corner, grab the brakes, did basically nothing.
And I hit, like, a snowbank that just pushed me around a tree.
And then I got smoked by a branch.
So I was like, like, in this tree well, like this, basically.
And then the dude Nels that brought the sleds up to us that works for Polaris, just poke.
I see, we see you as, I think he didn't even want to come to look.
And he's the one that I was riding in this tree well.
And he would, he, David goes, because, uh, David,
was up there with him he goes please tell me that isn't the new one the problem is
is these are one of one snowmobiles like they are hand built prior to this like they don't
come off an assembly line like i don't know how much they're worth but they're basically
priceless being considered they're the only ones and they need to use them as the marketing
unit yeah like this this snowmobile is then going to go back to polaris and then be used to take
pictures of so they can market it for like they probably are you pictures maybe but
Hopefully, but yeah.
If they were sorry, they did us last.
They probably did, honestly.
But then we're out there riding it.
And like, you know, I mean, say something had gone wrong.
You broke a prototype, like, one-on-one thing.
It's pretty weird because I don't know what exactly they're going to do with those.
But it's just like the, like, marketing unit, like, cars and stuff that they'll send out.
They crush them.
I think they have to because there's not a VIN number on it or something.
Yeah.
Or why is that?
Does anyone...
Probably because it's not built for consumer.
Consumer.
It's not built to be bought.
Yeah.
That's why.
They probably just don't, you know,
have all the same warranty.
It's like a test unit or...
It's something like when they're...
It's such a waste.
I don't know if they do it on a car,
but when they're hand-building a machine,
it's not considered OEM.
So it would mean this, like, big company
is selling a modified vehicle to a consumer.
They should give us them.
And we can just launch them off a jump.
They're going to get wrecked anyways.
Yeah, that's true.
Might as well make it entertaining.
So then I...
They're watching this right now.
Like, what's a great idea?
I had this idea of, I mean, I clearly didn't come up with it.
But as many times as we brought Whistling Diesel up in this podcast.
Jesus, Mike.
I've only done it two times.
This is only my second time.
Sorry.
I'm not sucking his dick, man.
He crunched up all the Toyota Hilux and then the two things and put him in the jars.
I thought it was cool.
And a lot of the things didn't cool.
So we were like, what if the Fast and Furious movies
crushed up their anything anywhere from their like hellcat to their Pagani what if they
crushed that up and put it in jars i would buy that part of the i mean the new fast
furious movies are getting kind of ridiculous but i would buy that to support of it yeah like
these cars do get crushed after that i would totally love to have a piece of like paul
walker's car granted that i think those ones go on museums but yeah i think a lot of those new ones
yeah i just saw this guy yeah that's a pretty good idea though mike yeah that is a pretty good
You know what, Mike?
You should do that.
No, CJ, you should do that with your Dodge Darts.
I don't have anything against Dodge Darts.
I just don't think that people should stick 10 grand into modifying it over the course of two years.
No, I saw this guy.
He blew up a Lamborghini, like a mid-2000s.
Yeah, it's technically selling as an NFT, but he blew it up,
and then he's going to be sending pieces out to people that buy a part of the project.
okay very similar yeah it's like and i remember a lot of people saying that
so you buy you spend money for this nfts and i'm going to send you some scrap
of a blown up right i love how that that's looked at as stupid but then you buy it
without an nfts attached to it yeah but whistlin diesels is more of a memorabilia
that's what i'm saying but if he attached an nfts to it then all of a sudden it'd be this
big nfti project and it'd be like okay but i just think buying a part of a blown up
Lamborghini is fucking dumb like could you imagine it's sitting on this show and it's like in
You'd have to...
It's just a bunch of shit.
And they're like, oh, what is that?
Like, oh, some YouTubers or some guy's Lamborghini or some guy's Lamborghini.
Oh, so in general, you don't, you don't like the idea.
No, I like with Stradmans or like, uh, it has to be a memorabilia type item.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's like a novelty item.
Yeah, it's not just any guy's not just like blowing up his car.
Like if we went did it to Ken's Bronco, everyone would be like, yeah, I want a piece of
Ken's Bronco, but if we went out to like, if we went out, literally walked to this car lot right now, bought a car,
blew it up and then send it up, people would be like, I don't.
I don't care.
That's cool.
You got to put,
and that's a fun part about all the vehicles we bought on our,
buy on our YouTube channel is bringing the sentimental value to them.
The shambo was just a piece of shit fiero kit car until we made something cool out of it.
Dude, I saw a shambo going for 60K.
So then that made me think,
should we have not left ours in a snowbank?
Maybe we did it good.
Well, I was like, yo, everything else is appreciating in value ridiculously.
Did our kit car too?
Dude, maybe.
I've seen some ridiculous prices for Kit Cars and it just makes me go, ugh.
I'd be down to get rid of it for 60K.
Well, obviously.
I'd be down to triple our money.
I don't know.
I honestly really love that thing.
It's just a content-making machine.
It is.
It's gold.
And probably pretty hard to replace.
Apparently, it is for 60K.
Screw that, dude.
I know what I've got.
I know what I've got.
It's fake.
It'd probably be hard.
It's harder to obtain another fake Lamborghini of our caliber compared to just going and buying.
I mean, obviously, you'd go and buy a new one if you have the money,
but you'd have a harder time finding a fake Lamborghini than...
Ours is nice, and that every time I look at it in the snowbank, it does make me feel a little bit bad.
I don't feel that bad about us fine.
The seals are all terrible.
Yeah, but as long as it's not melting, it doesn't really matter.
I actually...
Well, then we, that's what we got to get the snow off and keep a dry.
I feel less bad because we leave it with the windows down while it's pouring rain.
That's got to be way wetter than the snow melting in.
And every time I watch it, I go, man, I hope we get another snowstorm.
So the Lambo just covers completely up.
We should set up a live stream up on it.
And then people can guess when the Lambo will be uncovered.
You know, it's like when penguins are being born or when the ice goes off.
You go like, okay, guess the date.
When penguins are born.
Yeah, the zoos do it.
Like when they have like a baby polar bear or something like that.
that's going to be born.
They like set up a little cam or an eagle and then catches and then people are
a little bit higher ticket items than the penguins.
Could we sell that?
Like sell raffle tickets to it?
He could run ads on the last stream.
That'd be so dumb.
I mean, not the ads thing.
I love the idea.
So is it dumb or do you love it, Mike?
I love the idea.
If we add one thing, we go put the shambo on the ice and then it falls through.
I don't want to.
I do it with the shambo, though, either.
I like that thing.
Let's do it with your W.R.X. Ben.
Let's do it with the Ranger.
I don't know if I like that idea as much.
I'm pretty sure it was cheaper than our fake Lamborghini.
I don't even know if that's legal because we'd have to retrieve it, right?
People do that.
Do we do it in our pond?
Oh, maybe.
Our pond is only a foot and two inches deep.
I think our pond is grass right now.
It's toasting.
They wouldn't take it very well if you deliberately sink a vehicle to the bottom of the lake.
Yeah, I mean, vlog creation.
drove their RC car into the pond,
and it took them freaking two weeks to retrieve.
There's a little bit of a difference between a Ford Ranger and an R.C.
Well, that's what I'm getting at.
What does that have anything to do with it?
If it took them that long to find their R.C. car...
I think we could find a car to get it out, to get it out.
That's a totally different story.
It's not like bobbing with a magnet.
They weren't either.
It's still a car, and they still couldn't get it out.
it is an RC car.
Are you delusional?
You know what we should do?
It can, so you're saying we would find it and get it out within days?
I don't want to ruin this moment of Mike trying to make sense.
I'm, what are you saying right now?
I guess I'm saying like, how long would it take us to retrieve the ranger from the lake?
I don't know a day.
Oh man, that's pretty good.
Dude, you call a scuba diver.
And what do they attach it to?
They report it to the DNR.
The DNR shows up.
our good friends, they'd be pissed, right us to take.
Well, they'd probably be pretty happy.
They'd write us a ticket.
It'd probably make the news.
And then, uh, actually, it'd probably take a lot of people off because they're
how to get oil, oil, going into it.
But you just call a scuba diver team.
They come in, they attach a floaty and they pull it up.
People sink their vehicles in the late, in the winter, hold on, hold on, wait, that's in the
winter.
That's what I'm getting at.
Has anybody, that's what I'm getting it.
It's not deliberate in the winter, Mike.
All they have is these big floaties.
It's, they're super simple.
You go down there, you attach it, you...
Oh, and then air it up.
I didn't know that.
It carries right to the surface, and then you...
That's cool.
But where I was going, it'd be really fun to get our scuba diving license.
And you go at the bottom of the lakes and you start getting...
Because there's so much weird stuff at the bottom.
Is this where we learn Ben's also scared of lakes?
I hate that shit.
It is going to be very creepy.
I agree.
Dude, we should do that.
Because it's weird.
Because it's weird.
Going back to how, like, farmers used to just throw, like, their vehicles in the back
of these, like, woods and stuff.
they would used to go out in the lake for some reason and drop like garbage garbage but also like
which is kind of weird maybe because there's like cars and stuff in some of these lakes there's a car on dL still
so so was that car stolen why'd you put in because it seems like a lot of work to go drop it off in the lake
were they hiding it fell through in the winter and they just never got it but they're also like
we're talking about how the lakes were way down like the lake used to be there yeah there's like a
Sidewalk and foundations.
Yeah.
But I think it would be cool.
Also, just imagine if we're going across the middle of lake and we do happen to sink it 80 feet down,
if you have your own scuba diving license.
And that's what I wonder.
We don't have to call the scuba diver guy and we just swim down, hook that thing up with a really,
really long rope and we pulled shore.
With Ryan's wakeboard boat.
And we're going to have Ken on the back holding the rope.
That is where I wonder.
And so you say 80 feet deepest part in Big C is about that.
We get our scuba diving thing license.
What can we do?
I mean, dude, bro, 20 feet can't be that hard.
20, I agree.
I think you can go as deep as you want.
Okay, right.
And so Ben's just like, I don't like that feeling that's gross.
I'm not, I'm not trying to go deeper than 30 feet.
It's going to be scary and it's going to be dark.
It's not, I don't think it's that.
I'm down to do it with you.
I don't have really cool.
I think the problem is going to be finding the time to get scuba certified.
Each morning, Cij and I are getting up at like,
5 a.m. to go get fucking scuba
certified. I tell you what. You guys do that.
You guys do that. I'm going to get my pilot.
Oh, I was going to get pilot license.
You get pilot. Mike and you guys can skydive out of my airfield.
And then we'll skydive with Ryan and
CJ strapped to our chest and then
release them right when we get above the lake.
And then you guys keep going to be like.
This is brilliant. Who's going to film though?
Oh, shoot.
Evan.
We'll have a filmer. We'll have a filmer by that.
We'll just strap gopros on your guys's head.
The airplane license actually is a really good idea.
I was listening to, I guess it was an Elks podcast,
and Wires Only was saying that it's like you buy like an airplane
and it's all tax deferred.
Oh, yeah.
You can not deduct the entire thing.
The whole thing.
Yeah, and maybe we should buy an air.
I mean, obviously it would be like a little dingy.
It'd be like it'd have propellers.
It wouldn't be a jet or nothing.
So would we be able to put an airstrip on our land or is that not quite long enough?
I don't think it is.
It'd be cool.
Maybe.
No.
It'd be a real small little airplane.
We'd have to talk to whoever owns.
owns that other part and say you'd be surprised though airplanes aren't like the really small
personal or like couple passenger airplanes aren't that expensive like they're not as much
to think i'm not saying 50 right and that's still a lot of money but like you when you think
an airplane you think like that's a little cheap way that's affordable you know when you guys dude i'm
going to get my pilot license great manifestation i don't know when i'm going to find time
but i'm going to do it eventually because how sick would that be to just oh we
got to go somewhere.
It'd be very useful.
If we're going out west, we've got to get a nice plane then.
I'm like, just you guys for, I don't know how many hours, it's definitely be a lot for.
Instead of 12 hours, eight hours.
It's freezing up there because it's just, I'm dialed in, Ryan's over there, and Mike's passed out in the back.
Sounds pretty nice, actually.
Yeah, it does.
No, dude, wouldn't that be sick, though?
Yeah.
We've one of us had our pilot license for how many times we would use.
use that.
I would use it all.
And I'm not like shooting it down at all.
I'm just like if this is only if we have our own plane, right?
Like I said, you can't do it up.
You shoot down my plane, Mike?
Fucked up, dude.
I'm not like shooting it down, but I was like target practice.
How like if this is, we have to have our own plane for that, right?
Is that what you're saying?
No, you can technically, you don't have to.
I think it's easier.
Oh, not to get it.
I'm just saying, but like for us to fully utilize, not I mean fully, but I'm saying like,
what do we do if we don't have a plane and you have your pilot's license?
Do we go rent?
I mean, if I had my pilot license, I'd probably buy a plane.
Okay.
That's what kind of asking.
Maybe with the company money.
Yeah.
Ken's paycheck, maybe.
But Ken likes flying, or does he?
You wouldn't like flying in my plane.
He only likes it.
I love that.
I love CJ.
Like, the planes that we can afford, it's going to be, they're going to be small and
they're going to get shook.
But you're going to get there fast.
Faster than a car.
Ken only likes flying when there's a little flight attendant wearing a tight dress, bringing
him booze.
And he's sitting in the front
And I'm sitting in the back in the middle
As far away from me as possible
Ken ain't hopping in my plane
Yeah, he gets in he goes
Um
No complimentary peanuts then
They're here, just fucking pour him out
I'm flying
Speaking of planes
One of the Ukraine pilots shot down like six planes
And then now
It just came out that it was like fake
Or it was like the ghost of Kaviv or something
Yeah, no, I saw that there was fake
Do you know that's fake?
Well, the sources
that said it was real are just as
sourceable as the places that
said it was fake. That's why I feel like there's so
much fake shit constantly.
Just think about this. What happened? Think
about this. Obviously, you
well, unless you live under a rock then, you know
that Russia is invading Ukraine.
Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so
there's this Ukraine
Ukrainian fighter pilot that supposedly
shot down a bunch
of Russians like fighter
jets or planes or whatever
and now it's like fake. But
my point that I guess I was going to say and Ryan was like yeah I don't know what's real because
you got people saying it's fake there's people saying it's real and they're just as reliable as
each other this is the first ever war in a time where everything is so accessible you know on social media
you know like people in Russia are able to like be like we don't stand for this imagine if they
have social media you could probably be probably sitting over here be like dude all the russians are
like nuts like they want this but it seems like most of the russian
are against it, then for it.
I'm not sure about the social media side of things.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was with that, too.
But I know, like, most of the media in Russia is all tailored to...
Well, for them, but they're posting this on social media and is making this way over here from Russia.
That's what I mean.
So, like, we know now that there's a lot of people in Russia that don't support the world.
And you're also able to see all the terrible things going on.
Like, you know, you typically wouldn't be captured because everyone.
Everyone's got a phone, and everyone's got a 4K camera on it.
Like, isn't it crazy to see the Ukrainian videos of, like, just out their window?
These bombs and shit.
Yeah.
It's terrifying, dude.
I feel so bad for them.
And it's just, it's terrible.
It's terrible.
It's so dumb.
I said this in my friend's group chat.
I said, I use the term pretty cool, but pretty interesting this war is captured in 4K.
Never before would you ever get to see 7,000 cell phone clips of everything.
The day of the minute off.
Dude, it's just, it's so real.
And raw, obviously.
Scary.
And it's just terrible.
Have you guys heard of anonymous?
You know, like the dudes who wear the mask, they're basically hackers.
Yeah.
And they made a response.
Again, you can assume this is real, but it's just a dude in a mask talking.
And but they threatened.
They're like, and this isn't just anonymous saying this.
It's like, everyone's like, we're seeing what's going on here.
No one likes it.
No one has Russia or Putin's back.
Anybody with their head on straight is like, this is fucking.
up, dude.
So what was anonymous?
And so they said, you know, we're with, we're with everybody, we're with NATO, we're
for these sanctions, we will do everything we can to, um, hack your government.
We're taking down sites left and right and they're like, that's just the start, but they're
like, we'll do everything we can and every corner of the world will come after you via hackers.
And that's just one way to attack.
And it seems, you know, how secure they are.
You want to know something really admirable about this whole thing, though?
that you would have never knowing who Ukraine's president is.
Like, I didn't have a clue about it before this.
But that guy is amazing.
What a great president.
I guess I don't know a whole lot on,
but just from what I've been seen,
he's got his boots on the ground fighting with the people.
It's crazy.
Most pretty much, I would say, 99.9% of presidents wouldn't do that.
Don't do that.
Like, that is just awesome, I think.
What's your guys' opinion on Ukraine asking for, like,
normal civilian help i think that they're doing what they have to do yeah they're so small it's
like but imagine this ben do you think that they're getting if if normal civilians are
fighting alongside of like very highly trained professionals do you think that they're almost
just getting in the way i don't know if they're necessarily fighting i guess i don't know exactly
in certain instances but if you're just defending your home with a gun yeah and they gave you a gun
because is that what they're better off they're just handing out basically handing out
But I think you're able to do as little or as much as you want.
But if it were me, I think that's what I would be like, cool.
I'm armed now.
Yeah, I don't know enough.
I'm not unarmed.
I'm not useless.
They're probably more useful with it.
Imagine this, though, Ben.
So at first I was like, fuck, that would suck, dude.
Like, if I was being invaded by Russia and I'm, you know, Ukraine's rather smaller, significantly smaller than them, aren't they?
Like, quite a bit smaller of military as well.
It seems kind of like doomsday.
you'd be like maybe in your best interest to run but you have to leave everything you have built
everything behind so if russia or someone was invading here the united states you wouldn't run
you'd be like i don't think so i'm i'm fighting you know you'd go down with it at least i would
yeah like you're not gonna it's you know it's their home because it's tough and then like i mean
i thought about that in like our position well where do you run i guess you run to can't get in
unless you're vaccinated.
I wouldn't do that.
And so, and, you know, it's just an example,
but it's like, yeah, can you imagine relocating to just a province in Canada,
but not just relocating, just getting out of there and trying to get across the border?
No, I think you'd kind of try to hold your own.
Just imagine, and I really, this, I hope this doesn't happen,
and I'm going to this isn't going to happen, just going to say it.
But imagine if they did, like Russia invaded here, like Biden's whole policy.
on like taking guns and stuff.
Now we're all unarmed.
You don't have any ammo when it got shit.
Unarmed person is pretty much useless.
Is he going to start handing them all back out?
It's just crazy.
It is like a time you just never really thought something like this was going to happen
in this day and age in like a, you know, in established countries.
Russia just seemed off to me.
It's same.
Even when, like, Trump and Putin are working together, I'm like, oh, so we're good with Russia then, I think.
Russia just had a lot of pent-up aggression, and they were just waiting.
You know, he's been planning this forever.
I watched, like, a little documentary on Putin's rise.
He's just waiting for Trump to get out of office.
I don't know exactly why he picked the timing right now, but it is interesting.
He waited almost until he saw, like, like, a little bit of...
soft spot weakness maybe i i get a kick out of seeing like joe biden talking shit to uh to putin
i mean so to preface all of this weren't none of us are experts on this this is us spilling our
feelings talking about what we do know and what we uh i guess think some of our opinions but we're
not experts on it no i think we're just watching it like anyone else like on on on instagram or
twitter or facebook or really whatever you see that's that i think the tough part i mean on a really really
real note, I'm, like, posting about the 23 Polaris sleds that just came out today.
Like, I can't believe, I'm hyping my followers up for this, which is a big deal to us, but there's a
full-on war going on across the world.
Yeah, it really puts things in perspective.
Yeah, it's a crazy time.
But, uh, hopefully everything can, you know, resolve, yeah.
resolve with the least amount of destruction.
Yeah, right.
Well, guys?
Yeah, we kind of took off on a serious turn there.
That was, yeah.
Yeah, I guess that was like...
That was all just right off the cuff.
We didn't really have much to talk about,
but it was still fun.
Hopefully you guys enjoyed listening to it.
It's about as real as it gets, I'd say.
Yeah.
But, yeah, thank you guys for watching.
I think we dropped three pieces of content this week.
So that's...
We're happy about that.
Three videos.
You guys are lucky.
I might even drop an Insta pick.
Jeez.
Guys like, fuck you.
Anyways, thank you guys.
We'll see you next time.
