Yeah, because you weren't here last week. Hey, it's nice to be back, but it's also nice to know that the show goes on even when you're on your deathbed.

Yeah, it did. It went on and you were on your deathbed. Dude, I was sick. I was down bad for like, once we got back. from Vegas. I was straight sick for the next six days. I've, uh, I've come up with a new name instead of the SUDs, the SEMA flu. Yeah, that's a big one. The Sema flu, because everybody that went to Sema got it. T.J. Hunt was posting that he was sick. Uh, I think I even saw that Stradman was down. Somebody else that was, uh, that was just something in the air in Vegas. The Sema flu was in the air, dude. But like everyone I've talked to that was, that has been in Vegas in the last like month got home and got sick. Oh, God. Dude.

That sucks. I was talking to Rich, because Rich was there with us, and he goes, oh, yeah, dude, I was sick when I got there. Yeah, that sucked. You guys all got sick? And then he's just like, and then I'm like, yeah, Ben's like really sick right now. He goes, yeah, dude, I probably got him sick. That's funny. You'll have to let him know.

And I'm like, most people are like, I'm, you know, if I get someone sick, I feel bad. I try to keep it on the under wraps. If they don't know it was me, they're cheap it that way. Rich, dude, I'm like, yeah, you have to let him know. that's super funny that's funny dude i wasn't even bumming any of his darts either and i would have helped you dude it might have helped me dude it is funny though how like all of us got sick except for mike who i would i would say it would be like one of the more unhealthy members just because of like his habits and like his sleep patterns and like everything that none of my

actions are like progressively healthy right right but everyone got sick except for mike isn't it funny how that like it seems to always go like that you have a method though i just lots of vitamin c vitamin d uh ibuprofen he lounges around on the pool table at 2 30 in the morning dude we got up i yeah i still haven't quite got to the bottom of that so i thought you did all right so i was looking at the security camera footage from last night just like reviewing it over we got a new system so i was just kind of like messing around with it and i was like it's really high quality do What's the movement at 3.30 in the in the in the pine bay like the living room 30 well it started at one I was not laying on there for two hours bro damn near so I look

at the footage and Mike is laying lounging it looks like he's at the beach on the pool table the funniest fun was me flipping around no you know how it kind of looks like in the start of like a 2000s teen movie the girl is like laying on the end of the bed like maybe yeah like texting you're even what are you doing my dude

I was like the point of me even explaining what I was doing is like it's not even I don't tell me I want to just like

I want to just keep this have without knowing what you were doing just like assuming that you were just like like I don't know I are looking at pit bikes

I already this dude loves pit bikes bro on Instagram I already told Ben what I was doing earlier but like I just just genuinely

not worth explaining my question question, Mike, is, have you ever just had, like, just the smallest little thought go through your head and say, you know, it's 2.30. The boys want to be here working 9 a.m. I'm laying on the pool table right now. I've been here for an hour now. I was taking a break from working. Okay. Yeah. Did you actually go back to work after that? Yeah, genuinely. So I was like, but my ADHD ass, dude, so I'm down. I'm looking at the new trike and the pit bike trike and the pit bike big wheel which we'll talk about later i'm looking at them i'm like man these look sick the the bay is all

clean because we cleaned it before we part ways taking pictures i'm like this is fun these look great i took a bunch of cool pictures on my phone i'm like i should just do our everyone a favor grab the camera get some b-roll that that's where i went wrong going to the kitchen to grab the camera i go oh man it's pretty outside saw that pool table and couldn't resist dude not quite but look outside and i start like taking a snap i'm like oh that was great and then i'm looking for a song kind of posted up just looking for a song then I like go to my sound cloud look for a song blah blah blah it exits out of the snap I do it again

same thing happens then I take a third snap and then I'm laying on the pool table looking for a song and that's when I then started scrolling and I'm like what the hell am I doing and then I'm like I wonder if you did have that thought I eventually after an hour I genuinely did I was like I came in here to grab the camera to go shoot some some shot edit shots

it's been an hour shit yeah and so then I was like what am I doing but It was an enjoyable time. What if we saw Evan come out of his room and he crawls onto the pool table and they just start spooning it. But they both park their pit bikes out to look at like it's the TV.

My legs flicking. Maybe it would be super funny to do that just to see if on the off chance someone catches it. Cuddle on the pool table. Yeah, I'm going to be looking. Mike I'm going to be watching I think you guys better try

and see if anyone catches you we come in one morning to both Evan and Mike are snuggled up on the pool table well we wouldn't let you see it with your bare eyes unless you guys are comfortable you fell asleep each other's arms

man that's funny it's like we wake up and it's like light out and we're like Evan get to your bed quick quick quick is anyone coming soon Ken's walking in with this cinnamon roll when I was watching the security camera footage back. Ken was like, and I get shit for looking at the security cameras.

I was like, I still haven't quite figured that out. Has anybody giving you shit for checking the security cameras? I have. Yeah, I have. I was like, we've talked about it on the podcast. I was like, Ken's like, Ken doesn't do any more, but he was like the dad that I didn't ask for. Oh, it's always Mike. Mike just hates being snooped on. Mike just needs a little extra guidance. I don't mind it. I never was like, why were you guys looking at the cameras I never once was like oh you found me out laying on the pool table well I think it's probably just the fact like you get a notification it's like yeah between the hours in the room at at 3 a.m. or whatever time you're like what the fuck

why someone that's pretty yeah no unreasonable time for there be movement so you're like I better check yeah all right well I'm glad we got to the bottom of that and you know what I'm not glad about what the fact that we're not at 150,000 subscribers yet and Evan can't come on people people just stopped asking to be honest at this point and it's just for me personally subscribe so we can get him on and then chat with them i feel like it's not that much to ask for either no it's not it's not and we get that it takes time it doesn't happen overnight but i won't ask again we'd appreciate it yeah we would so we can get evan i don't know if evan would appreciate it his nerves you really get out of control when he gets on here but we got

got to get them all teed up before don't worry so i got good news we got lots of you know bad mainly we talk a lot of bad news on here about how we have to shell out money for different types of fines and the IRS and taxes and stuff like that. We got to check back from the United States Treasury for $1.55. I don't know how much of this I can show. Wow. Fantastic. All of it's coming back.

We're on top again. What a waste. What a waste. Honestly, at that point, it's like, just keep it. Not worth the paper it printed on. It's literally not. I don't know. I think it was a nice gesture by the IRS.

It was cool of them to just be like, hey, you know, thanks for trying at least. We'll hit you with a $1,000 fine later. You could buy a box and a half of milk duds with that. Do you guys remember back in like elementary school how I don't know if you guys did this or your school programs did this? But do you guys remember box tops? Yeah. Yeah. What was the point of that?

They're digital now, which is way less fun. But, like, where did that money ever go? Or, like, how did that work? What was the point? 10 cents per box top and then you, they go somewhere and then they get that 10 cents and it goes to the school. But it's tough because it's like the teachers, how much did it make a difference? They were like, bring your box tops in so we can win.

It was mostly so we could win. But it's like, how much money are they really getting? What can you buy three more books? Did you guys do that? Yeah, for sure. You get the big bag. I remember my grandma would, like, cut them out of the soup cans and stuff. Like, that shit had to be hard.

I never brought mine. Really? My mom made me cut them out myself. There was a bunch of, like, weird shit that they made you do. Remember the Scholastic Book Fair? Yeah. I was always super excited when they come in. Not that I ever gave a shit about the books.

Because you couldn't read. I couldn't read, right? Yeah, it was pretty much useless for me. It was just for like Ripley's and Guinness, right? No, I was going to just say like the Lamborghini posters. Like, I still remember this. And I had like a collection of them around my room as a kid, but I would get like a car poster. and that's like the spot to be.

I wonder if they still do that. Do they still do that? I wonder, yeah. It's got to be a thing. Yeah, I'm sure. Kids are still reading. Books are still a thing. They haven't phased those out.

Nope, they're still a thing. They're still good for you. I just remember that at my elementary school, we used to do cake walks. And it was kind of like musical chairs when you'd walk around and then the music would stop

and you'd get whatever cake. What was the point of that? I don't know. I think you're going to pay to be in the cakewalk and it was like a thunder. razor you know everybody would make a cake or whatever and then you would walk around cake walk that's like a good also uh you know piggybacking off of that like bake sales now bake sales are lame as frick because they can only just sell normal they have to sell like at least in my school

they had to sell like store bought and candy bars and like oh you couldn't sell homemade goods at at one point you could and that was that was the good old day yeah like just everyone coming you know because all the moms would try to bring heat and bring the best right best bars or brownies or whatever, and then once they outlawed that, we were all like, eh, what's the point of buying a candy bar? I mean, you could come to school with a candy bar or whatever. Still bought it, but not any of this fun. I was talking to a friend the other day who was little brother, or I was asking, like,

hey, is your brother in college right now? And you guys know my standpoint on college. I think it's kind of a waste, but it's also not. And I went to a year and then dropped out. I think a lot of people are probably in this position of, like, like, oh, I don't want to go to college or I want to, I want to, like, do my own thing. They might, you know, watch, obviously if they're like, watch a lot of YouTube, they probably want to do things like that.

But I was thinking about it. Do you guys think that even though I only went to a year of college, I'm like lacking things that you clearly would learn at college that I just missed? Only social. There's some things that. Honestly. that maybe nothing there's some things that both that all of us in general but there is things that I'll notice about you I'm like man he just never learned anything did he but some of them I can't I

I agree I catch myself and I think some of those things should have came in like middle school oh I take it might just been a selective hearing issue and I don't disagree I just actually I haven't thought of that or observe that about you or really anyone yeah I never for me it's like come on Van, you've never heard of so-and-so, but it's more of a social... More of just not being a TikTok kind of... I see what you were saying was social now. I thought you meant that he was weird. Certain things that you may have done in college

that even would just slightly twist your mindset about the way, like, college people work or whatever. But other than that, like, as far as knowledge, everything that you need to know, you just learn. In the words of Ricky, college peoples are fucking stupid. That's a good one. I don't know, man. College peoples are fucking stupid.

There is certain things that, I mean, I definitely don't regret like dropping out of college but when when kids don't go to college because they're like well I don't think I need it I don't know if it's even going to college that is like a waste of time

I think it's just like almost doing something to just keep yourself like occupied killing time. Yeah but like killing time but like you kind of just like figure things out as you go but I feel like you don't really figure it out like sitting at home and trying to figure it out no i agree i agree 100 so like going through the motions where like yeah i think

college is stupid but i also think it's worth going if you don't have a other plan or like something else to do because it at least puts you in a group of people trying to succeed in a way you know people doing things you go through all the motions you learn stuff in classes and yeah 90% of it might be useless but you at least get 10% goodness and hopefully it would happen sooner than later but like you might learn what you don't want to do like a long list of things you don't want to do what do you think i'm lacking right you're pretty quick to answer i'm trying to you know it's tough because you're putting me on the spot but uh i'll write the next one down but sometimes you'll just you'll just do or not know something that i'm just like wait how'd you not know that and it's

tough because when you don't know something you don't know something but it's a good point you know there's just some things that I'm just like man he never really school never really was one of his strong suits huh I was pretty decent at school and I didn't really try that hard but then once like college came around I think I just like quit caring about so many things like basically like everything besides for just like trying to make YouTube or like do anything like this I just lost a lot of brain cells i was going to just say like skills of other things well it's probably because you were trying to develop other things it's like you know right you were you were right but like at like the college age that's when you get the development of certain things and that's where

i just like fell off you just veered strongly right or left yeah i mean things are working out hopefully this whole youtube thing continues on otherwise they're going to be like man this guy just never developed, didn't he? It is funny, though, when Mike, you're talking about things that you find out sometimes at college that you know you didn't want to do because of it. But weren't we talking this week about what if you'd been colorblind, how hard it would be to be a graphic designer. Right.

And it would be like, really, I was thinking if I actually wanted to do that, you'd have to get those, you know, colorblind glasses. And then Ben was like, yeah, are those real? I mean, yeah, they're real. And I think they help. I think I don't know That needs to be fact check But then and then Ben's like

Yeah And then every time you go to design And you put them on You just have an emotional breakdown Oh my God That is what blue looks Oh it's beautiful And red

Green That'd be Yeah Not a good profession Again it was a different era But man I can imagine That Logan Paul looks back at those moments

And just goes Ah And doesn't Maybe look back at them with fondness That's what I I think of when I think of the colorblind glasses. Yeah. Yeah.

That's what I mean, I think of him at that, yeah, the outlook. I think he got meme pretty hard on that. Yeah, definitely did, but I watched it.

It was a joke, though. Yeah, exactly. And I, I think it was, uh, it was all for growth.

It was like just serious enough that it made it even funnier. Being a colorblind artist would be like being a deaf musician. That'd be tough. Who was the guy that did that? Beethoven. Uh, you could totally be a colorblind artist.

Used to abstract black and white art. No, I believe in throughout his career. Who is, uh, Was Stevie Wonder? He's blind. He was blind.

It's still pretty impressive, though, that he can shred the keys the way that he can. You know, who's the, uh, gift? Who's the blind and deaf chick, Anne Hathaway,

not Ann Hathaway, uh, and Frank. No, no, no, no, um, Helen Keller,

thank you. I don't know why I was stuck on. Why was Helen Keller? So this is a really, probably a dumb question, but why was Helen Keller so famous? I don't know. Like,

why does everyone know who she is? What'd she do again? Dude, she was deaf. blind. There's a lot of people in the world that are probably deaf and blind. Is there? I don't know.

I would assume out of the whole world, she wasn't the only person ever. And they're like, she needs to be famous for her. Yeah, did she do it? She had to have done some good stuff. Or was she famous for being famous? Dangl's disability rights. Dude, can you imagine being? She has the right to be famous.

Can you imagine being deaf and blind? You would have no idea what the fuck was ever going up. Do you think she was faking it? No. Oh, my gosh. I mean, this is a mind-blowing number. Okay. The National Association of Regulatory...

Okay, that's whatever. Estimates that 70,000 to 100,000 people living in the United States are deaf and blind. Whoa. See? Oh, wow. That's insane. And so she's the only one that got to be famous? Just do a quick search.

Why was Helen Keller famous? Yeah, then we'll get to the bottom of this part. All right. First Google search came up. Helen Keller is arguably Perkins most famous student with her teacher and Sullivan a close second. The story of a little girl who was deaf, blind, and learned to communicate when her teacher spelled water into her hand

was made famous by the movie, The Miracle Worker. Looks like we got to watch The Miracle Worker. Damn. I still don't know much. So she was just a scholar, just an incredible student. Yeah. Okay. So I wonder what the other people have to do, or what they do.

Like, do they not a communicator? The unfamous ones? Yeah. Actually, though. It would be so difficult to communicate. Yeah. Braille. Yeah.

Braille. Yeah. But how do you learn that of the question? Yeah, because you could do that. And then it's like, but how do you know what? It would take a long time just to learn just braille, just a way to communicate. It's a bit of a mind twister. Be terrible to make the best out of what they got.

Have you guys heard the story of Mattress Mac? Yes, because Justin told me when we were in Vegas got me all hyped up. mattress mac there's this guy he's from houston texas his name is mattress mac or something macafee but they call him mattress mac and so mattress is his first name yes yeah yeah mike dude my didn't michael jack's name is kid blanket i don't yeah yeah carry on his name who's not actually mattresses neck name anyway um okay so he owns a furniture store and he basically is famous in the Houston area, started in the Houston area, but now all over the place

for making these massive sports bets. Because he loves the Astros, right? He loves the Astros, but he's just like a big sports guy. It's not just the Astros, it's other teams. And he makes these huge sports bets on the teams. And then if the team wins, he gives everyone a refund that bought something from his furniture store

during the promotion. So he just recently won $75 million on the Astros. He bet on the Astros. 75 million? He won 75 million. And he's going to give everyone a refund that bought a mattress over $3,000, I believe. Whoa. So he runs these basically as like promotions.

Though too for them. Yes, and insurance, but like promotions. So like you come and. to the store, you buy a $3,000 mattress, the Astros win, you get a refund. Dang. Dude, isn't that genius?

And at the end of the day, the sense of community that brings, because it makes you cheer for the Astros, and the odds of it's pretty good, so him giving back is just being nice. Yeah, but say you're going to buy a, you're going to buy a mattress either way. Well, you might as well buy it from this guy

because say the Astros win, right. Or just wait a good week when you know they're playing a crappy team? I think it was like only for the worst. the World Series. But he does that for like other football games and stuff like that. But basically it's just a hedge. That's a genius.

It's just a hedge against his own bet. So either the company is going to do super, super well, and then he's not going to have to refund them or he's going to have to refund everyone, but he's going to win $75 million. Either way, he wins. That's awesome. What a genius. Yeah. And he's been doing it for a long time.

Just awesome marketing. Yeah, he's been doing it for like a while. But how much did he have to bet to win $7? $75 million. I think it was like 1 to 12 or something like that. I know we place a couple different bets. Yeah, so a lot of mattresses to make that much.

Well, so I saw, I saw the headline. When you said, you know mattress Mac, I said, no, I saw the headline,

some dude crazy bet, $75 million. I had no idea, nor would I have ever guessed that he's a mattress slinger. Yeah. It's a, it's a furniture store as a whole. Yeah.

Not just mattresses. No, I don't know if it's just anything over $3,000 or if they have like a certain mattress that they have, good. That's pretty cool. I did see that Cesar's literally included in their earnings report. It's the biggest loss that Cesar's has ever taken in sports betting or in the casino. And it was just coming out around like third quarter reports or whatever.

And they were like, there's a significant bet out there. And if this doesn't or if this hits not in our favor, like this will significantly affect our earnings. Wow. Which is pretty wild because I would assume Cesar has. some cash flow, but that's pretty sweet that he took a pretty big dent out of it. I know we split it up between a couple different casinos. 75 million, but he

bet 10 million. So is he just going to get out of the furniture game now or just carry on with wife? At that point. So he bet 10 million. So let's just say Okay, so he had a giant bet. It's not like he bet a $100,000 and like won a million odds. Yeah. So he bet 10 million though

to win 75 million. So technically though, if he would have lost all he would have had to have made is 10 million. So it's not like he had to make 10 million. It's a lot of freaking dope, man. Oh, that's all the mattresses in a brick and mortar store? No, no, no, it is a lot of money.

But like, keep in mind, I think he's doing these promotions are doing extremely well. Yeah, no shit. He's putting 10 mil down. He's got to be. Like making like millions a day. Dude, think how stoked. Literally when the Vikings won this past weekend, Game of the year, headed to the Super Bowl.

That was a game. Crazes game. ever seen my life. I thought you hated the bikes. No, I love the vikes. I was just being realistic at dinner. I don't know, Ryan. Ryan just saw a group of people excited about something and he had to shut it down. Yeah. I don't do that. I was pretty, okay, so, getting up. Rewind. I was pretty excited about the vikes, obviously, as any Minnesota fan is right now, because they're doing pretty good. And Ryan comes in swinging. They're going to lose. They always do. The only reason they won was because of all these players were out and I said on this very podcast a few weeks ago when they won like their first game I was like our year we're headed to the Super Bowl where were you what was your support then I don't know man it just seems like you kind of switching up now Ryan why would I switch up when they're winning that's what I'm trying to figure out I think I might have to do with these cameras right here no it's our year dude headed the Super Bowl let's go bikes change of change in the last two hours anyway I'm sorry

But anyway, when they won, I was literally jumping up and down, cheering so stoked. Could you imagine winning $10 million, but having $10 million, I'd be happy. No, I literally cannot imagine that. Dude, the guy's like 75. I can't believe you didn't have a heart attack. What a baller, dude. Yeah, good for him. I saw a video of him wheeling up the door into his private jet, a wheelbarrow full of a bunch of cash.

That's a flex and a half. They had to set that up. I think he captioned the Instagram like all this money is heavy or something like that. I bet $75 million is very heavy. CJ, you said what's he going to do now? Is he going to like retire and quit slinging mattresses?

And in the interview that I watched of him, he like still works at the front desk and like greets people. What a beauty. Really? Yeah. Man, that's awesome. I also was thinking that he might do just that because he probably enjoys it and it's probably not super like daunting physically or mentally you know like he's

chilling you see i guess the guy is like kind of a legend in the houston area because he like started out by doing these uh tv ads where he would like basically had this little stick at the end of every tv ad he'd be like and save you money and he'd jump in the air and like do it and that just like kind of put him on the map for houston so he's a legend like before any of this then if If you ever start up another business, you should do that. But you'd be like, everybody would know they'd be like, that Ben, he's just going to lose my money. You'd get away with it for like three years.

And they'd be like, he keeps betting on the wrong team. And he keeps losing all the money. We never get any refunds. Hey, hey, that's where I'm underdeveloped. They're betting. I don't think you're risk. No, it's just saving and making money. I'm just, I just never developed.

figured that out. They don't teach you that in college, so you're good. Yeah, there's a lot of things I can see Ben doing, but being some sort of bet overseer is just not one of it for other people. Dude, you guys didn't talk about my roulette losses. I mean, we did briefly, but I. It was electric, just like the fact of, man, what could have been. But yeah, that was a real quick $1,500 loss. Yeah. And it's crazy that there's people that like that would they be like you did a thousand bucks and that was like that was your big end of the day bet

but man that was too much for me yeah it's just like a really tough way to like end the trip yeah it was you know just like the very last thing and then hop on the plane and leave good thing we didn't start it with that I don't know if we could I don't know if I could have recovered yeah I would have gotten over it yeah I was like I think I would rather start with that what watch us lose money

well I guess if I would rather started with I would rather start with a thousand with the possibility of winning it back possibility of winning it back or losing and then if it loses you're like all right i'll focus on you know not losing money yeah something else i don't know what but yeah you live and you learn i'm out on Vegas for a couple months at least same i feel like you can learn literally the wildest shit on ticot mike you were just telling a story and we're like where'd you learn that at ticot like unfortunately ticot did you know that george straight and jeff bezos are first cousins they have the same grandma what that family is built on royalty no kidding that's actually

pretty crazy he's like i mean yeah he's like a right he's a legend yeah way up there dude what are the odds i wonder if they hang out like what i feel like not a lot of families i'm i'm i have some parts of my family that are pretty cool you guys you know i know you each have that part of your family you don't like to talk about for him it's him and for you it's him and for you it's I was like, don't talk about my family that way. I was trying to think. Wait,

what side? I'm just kidding. But like, damn, could you imagine the family reunion and like, oh, here comes George

and then Bezos lands a rocket in the front yard? Yeah, Jeff's always big dicking him. Everybody. They hate each other. I'm just like picturing you bringing up family reunion.

It's like, so let's say the rest of them are average. Yeah, average income. So when they're like, all right, we have the family reunion. It's going to be at Mi Ma's house, and it's just very normal.

Me Ma Ma Ma'a. Jeff Lansin rocket. Either that, or it's like, oh, yeah, last year's Jeff hosted it. And can you imagine the difference in something he hosted? Literally. We're having Thanksgiving dinner in space this year. Yeah, we actually had uncooked dolphin sushi rolls. I don't know.

Whatever, rich people. would know. Dude, so yesterday Greta spent eight hours in a waiting room trying to get Taylor Swift tickets. Wait, like a physical waiting room? No, not a physical waiting room?

No, no, no, no. Like an online waiting room, but like thousands of people were in a waiting room for damn near the entire workday trying to get T-Swift tickets. It's amazing. And then didn't, oh, and then didn't end up getting them.

No. Yeah, yeah, sold out. And I heard of that happened to them. bunch of people. Dude, she's got America or wherever the tour is, I'm assuming it's U.S. by the balls right now. Oh, Greta or Taylor Swift? For sure. But, I mean, Greta said that the tickets

now are going since this whole fiasco, people can't get them for $1 to $30,000. I mean, seriously, it's Taylor Swift. I didn't realize she was, like, so popular, but at the same time, maybe she just got a really, really strong cult following. Oh, she does. I think, yeah. It's very strong.

like talking oh i love taylor swift you know a lot of them i well obviously but like i didn't realize the amount of respect she had she's like the white biance you know like bionce you know like biance just has that respect people are there they buy tickets for her shows they never say anything bad about her same for taylor dude and if you want to get hated on go after t swift true right now if yeah oh yeah dude they are like they're like swifties yeah swifties how about this i want to get swifting like you text Greta right now and say I don't think Taylor Swift is that good dude she would not like it would be bad for you if you

said that just say I don't I don't think she's that good and she just responds I don't think pit biking is that cool Mike just freaks out wow podcast to leave the podcast when she said Mike

you know I don't even want she took it too far I took it too far honestly I just tell her I'm joking But that was still just too far I do believe that when she dropped her new album It set some record like she had She had she had all

I guess it was just a weeks long worth of all top 10 billboards Like in the world Yeah the top 10 all the top 10 songs off her whole album Were hers or that's pretty gnarly Same dude that seems to happen though Like every time a big artist Yes but not all the whole not the whole There might be like, you have number one, number three, number four, number six, but...

I just think it's kind of bullshit because they're... I feel like they're paying to promote it. Like, it used to not be that way. Like, in order to get to the top 10... I don't think that's always the case, but it is. There's got to be something going on with, like, you, the label pays to get there. Because why are all these songs at the top 10? And, like, there's definitely one or two that are, like, really good.

That makes sense, but... It's just, like, the YouTube trending page. Some are legit, some are literally paid, you know, a movie trailer. We pay you to put it on there. It is pretty suss. But it's really cool to see that all these independent artists are basically making a name for themselves completely without the label. Dude. Yeah, that's Connor Price.

Yeah. True. So there's this artist. His name is Connor Price. We've been rocking. We found them pretty early. Yeah, we've been rocking with them for what? Like two years for sure at this point.

We use a bunch of his songs. Like, if we just play a clip, right, just drop. One of its songs that we always play, and you'll be like, oh, that guy. Get back. Straight A student, but I'm friends with a cool kid. Following the rules and a rubric. Everybody had to go down. I love Rachel's golfing so much.

Anyway, Connor Price has always been, like, super anti-label. You can do it independent and just, like, promote it through Instagram and TikTok. And, like, dude, I always. was like man it's crazy that he hasn't blown up yet or the fact that he doesn't have a record label and then he came out and was like no no no i don't want a record label i want to do this on my own i want to i want to like do it on spotify and basically just keep all the earnings right because i think record labels like they take a ton they take a ton right they locked in it's a whole new thing yeah so basically i was like man it's just crazy that he hasn't blown up yet and over the last like

month for sure. He's gone up like literally I think a million followers on Instagram. He's over a million on Instagram now. I think he's posted well. I was like, whoa, wait, what? Yeah, like like blew up like overnight. I'm sure it feels like it's overnight. Right. Right. Right. He did. No, but like like, super fast. 60K followers this year. This year. Wow. Dude. Yeah. And then his TikTok is blown up. And like he's basically just making a name for himself by himself without like the record without getting pumped you know but like he has songs uh in like the top 100 yeah and one of them's at 20 right that's incredible that's incredible yeah i know exact yeah that's actually crazy so maybe i'm completely wrong with the whole like buying spots but it does kind of see no i i'm sure they do that

but yeah because it doesn't really make sense because like these are the top 100 songs in the whole world and they just dropped theirs and now all 12 spots are fold up with their whole album. Dude, it's just- Taylor Swift, people were listening. No, Taylor Swift's obviously a little different. But yeah, it's just like such a different time. And like he's proven that, you know, like you really don't need it and you can do it kind of on your own.

You can self-promote. But now I'd say like artists on TikTok or Instagram, people will comment like, oh, get this guy a record deal. Like that's a rinse comment now. Like, it kind of is. It's like, get this guy a record deal. Most people are like, I mean, maybe, but it's not 2010, you know? Yeah.

Rinsed. Yeah. I was always worried, though, because, like, we've been using his songs for so, so long and they're in so many videos. I was always worried, like, if he gets a record deal, is the record company going to come and copyright all of the videos? Because that's happened. That's usually one of the first things they do.

When you get on a record company, like, they're instantly all their songs are copyrighted. Well, that even happens still to like this day, like a video from a year or two ago we get copyrighted because we picked this song off SoundCloud and it finally caught up and maybe that person, that song got either copyrighted by a label or more than likely just the artist got picked up by the label. But the other one that I've noticed is these people that are really promoting like one song on Instagram and then it becomes like a viral trend or on TikTok too. but like what comes to mind

is like that one song that's like it was just too love is song it was just to love it yeah yeah yeah but the dude sat out to

like set out to like make this song just go viral it's the best way to get big quick yeah I don't think there's anything wrong with it

no it was genius it was genius I saw it all over the place people were like reposting it using it as like reels and things like that which I think is genius

TikTok has definitely built a new platform or a new pathway for artists to get put on the map for sure like i think a lot of artists make songs just for like this will be a tic talk this is how i'll get to go wild and then people will know who i am and i think it is a bit of a double-edged sword because there can be some songs that maybe are good but you listen to them a thousand times on ticot and then you're just like i don't need this added to my playlist because It's just a TikTok song. I agree.

You almost start to just think of it as that. Or is like the, especially like astronaut, like Rolandone. Yeah, exactly. So that I remember hearing just that like 20 second whatever stint of audio so many times that when I listen to the original song, it's like all I heard. And then the whole three, four minute song wasn't even anything. But in some cases, I don't know if I would have known about that guy if it wasn't for that song. So I feel like it's almost like a little bit of something you just kind of. Yeah.

If you're lucky enough to be able to get it. It's so weird because now you can have like there's such a thing as a one hit wonder that can still be a thing now and obviously you can have more than one but now it's like a one trending sound wonder because some of those trending sounds are like lasered into our brains. Yeah. Or when when anyone around me is watching Instagram Reels or anyone I'm sure you just know. You just know all you have to do is listen and you just know. And the funny thing is you can almost tell what they're watching. Yeah. Like if you're on TikTok and you hear a certain sound, you're like,

you're watching some chick in a bikini right now. Like you just know. And then you might hear play twice. I actually, Elander was watching TikTok and there was one of those songs. I was like, what are you watching over there? And it was something else.

But yeah. I also think that Instagram reels have killed creativity and in a lot of aspects. I agree. Because it's like you almost have to use it. Like double ed sword for sure. You use the trending song, but then you just like, I don't know, you're almost just incentivized to just shit out. shitty content

Yeah And it's like Dude I don't know if it's for every case But it seems like the less effort I put into a reel The better it does And the more views it'll get And then it's like damn

I made like this really cool edit Yeah And it did like a quarter of the view As this Then this shitty Uncut single iPhone With like this trendy song to it That's where I really struggled to

It's like it does the less like cuts you have unless you have like a really good storyline or some good skit the less if it's just a single iPhone clip with exactly what you want people to see just upload that you know i like to try to use different songs but it's like then it gets no views you know i think that's a tough part it takes the creativity out being the i think it kind of puts you in a box because you have to use the song in order to get the views right and for anyone that's i guess trying to get views and that wants a little tip you can actually then a trending song, turn the volume

all the way down, and then you'll get into the algorithm. Not sure how much that will help you, but I've heard it does. Now, get excited. This is big! For the summer's biggest adventure. I think I just smurf my pants. That's a little too excited.

Sorry. Smurfs. Now playing. But same thing, double-edged sword. Shit, the real that you hate goes viral and then you've got more eyes on the one that you really like. And hopefully the people that came on that one, more people like the reel that you made and that you like.

And it grows your, grows the views and audience. You want to look at it. But it'll be interesting to see with YouTube shorts now becoming more of a thing. They've, uh, they're going to start paying on them now and then they finally made it so it doesn't messy up your feed and stuff like that. So I wonder how much more YouTube shorts will become a thing. I heard Mr. Bees is like, I'm going to make one a day. And it's going to be a dedicated short. short not a bit of his video he's going to make a dedicated short every single day do you guys watch

youtube shorts i don't but i know you do right i do a lot like i i never watch tictock kind of watch instagram reals just because it's like if you're on instagram you're watching reels pretty much but yeah dude i i watch like shorts more than anything really it's just like what you get into you know like you either like do or you don't there's nothing wrong with them every time i do find myself on shorts i'm like this is enjoyable because i like ticot what what's on short same it's like i feel like shorts are just like higher quality instagram reels they're probably equivalent to tic-tok i'm just not on tic-tok i just don't go on tic-tac so i would i would probably equivalent like they're probably very equal to tic-tok but they're a lot better than

instagram reals man people on instagram reels suck i would compare it i think the bar is so low yeah the only thing uh worse is uh facebook whatever. No. Does Facebook? Those are the same. Snapchat Spotlight. Uh, Snapchat Spotlight's like a new thing that they put together and it's always

some shitty chopped up thing. Horrible. Yeah, Facebook's got like a Reels type of deal. It sucks. It's like what was happening on TikTok like six months ago. Like you still hear the, oh no. Oh no. That's like, yeah.

They're always six months. Exactly. Dude, I actually have a pretty funny theory about Facebook. I think that obviously the Facebook market is much different, but the Facebook demo is like parents mostly, right? But every time I go on Facebook, I always see like, I use your dad as an example. Somebody who I would not think that would be like that good at social media.

And Randy's killing it on Facebook. He does kill it. Bro, he's making post of just like things that. This is Ryan's dad. Things that are just, like, keeping people up to date with, like, what he's up to. Like, he's, like, doing, like, a good job at, like, keeping people engaged with his Facebook. And every time I see it, every time I see it, I'm like, damn, Randy's kind of coming with the heat here. He had a bunch of really good coverage of the hurricane.

That too. I don't know if he ever posted it, but. I think Randy's just, like, kind of the average Facebook user to. So we sign him? Hey, Randy, look, you've been, you've really been impressing us with your Facebook, but no, I don't know. It is funny how that demo is, like, using Facebook, but they're, like, actually pretty good at it.

Yeah. Some of them are. I use Facebook a lot, actually. I do too. I probably just Facebook the most. Yeah, I don't post ever, but I just use it, like, looking at, like, stuff for sale or, like, I go into, like, groups. No, it's been really.

Like, I go into, like, groups. Like, let's say, like, each. I like, you know, or just like different things and I don't know, it's fun. It's like, yeah, it's like something you can't get into really anywhere else. Like, you know, I'm in a Bronco group and I learn a ton from it. Of course, I'm in a pit by group. Are you really? I mean, two pit by groups.

Bro, every time I go on Facebook too, I'm in a couple of those same groups. The other one, Mike's, uh, the started. The admin. I wish. Dude, every single time I go on Facebook, I'll see, because I'm in. a couple of those pit bike groups too. And Mike is always responding

to people's questions. Oh, dude, you're such a good guy. I don't know clearly like I could spend my time better but I genuinely like laying on the pool table. That's what he's doing. That's what he's doing. He's like had the pool table. Yeah.

Yeah, we run the BBR rear spring. It is nice though because there's so many times when you're looking for information on the internet and you know that people know. But the people that know aren't commenting back because they're fucking doing things

not commenting back on Facebook. I always wonder that when I'm looking something up and it puts me in like a weird Reddit form from like 2006. Yeah. But I always think about that. I'm back from the future.

When people had questions and they would go on these forms and they would post the question and then like a couple weeks later, it would get answers. I used to do that on the like Subaru W.R.X forms. Totally. God bless the.

Because you wouldn't get notified, you wouldn't get notified when people would answer. Yeah, you would. Just hit you back in your Gmail. So your email would get notified. You got a response and show the response. But then in order to respond back, you'd reply and bring you to the... How active was it? It depends, like, what, you know, there's different pages in the forum.

So threads that is the term. But like, that's where I learned a lot about, like, wheels and shit. Yeah. But normally, like, even nowadays, you don't need to comment stuff like that. Like, if you're trying to find, like, how to get perfect. Fitment on a 2015 EvoX, there will be like a whole write-up in a forum and you can go through and see pictures. Like that's like what you would do before custom offsets or Fitment Industries or if they

don't have it, then you'd just go on that. But yeah, I mean, I think I was, I love the forums. The forms truly help people a lot. I was one. I was too lazy to post. Actually post a question because, okay. You get crucified too. What if I get an answer too late?

Or, yeah, people are like, dude. That's a dumb question. Just, yeah, either they tell you it's a dumb question or they're like, dude, there's already three other write-ups on this. Please stop asking. And I'm like, sorry. It's just wondering. You're flooding the form. Yeah, exactly.

So the people are mad about this. They're just like. Yeah, they would, you get reams sometimes. If you didn't have a valid question, I'd be like scared to like ask the wrong thing. Yeah. Because I'm scared of what these random people, like, I don't even my real name connect to it. But it's like, or you don't provide enough information. They're like, okay.

well, what spec is this? You didn't even provide it. How is supposed to answer your question? You're like, I didn't know. That's why I'm here, dude. But overall forms are great. Dude, every time I have a question that gets answered by a form from 2006 when Greg 43 was wondering the same thing, though, I'm always like, yes.

Yes, there is somebody else wondering the same thing. Yeah, what better feeling when you are, it's like when you look up something that's broken on your car and no one else has had that problem, you're like, I might be screwed. But when like 20 other people have the problem and there's right up for it, you're like, yes. And they got like so specific with it. And you're like, that's the problem I'm having. I love that so much.

This happened to me. Yep, this is what I did for the fix. And then it's just like it works. Yep. Forms are good. All right. I got them. Oh, no.

So I got something. Oh, no. I missed out on the apple cider brinegger last week. Oh, which my mom also said. Which my mom said you guys did wrong. But yeah. She just said we were supposed to mix water with it. We were doing it.

I was drinking it straight. Anyway, okay. Okay. Okay. All right. So I got this game. It's called Raper Roulette. Speaking of roulette again, but there's basically five gummy worms and one of them is extremely hot.

Holy crap. Are we going to get Ken here then? Yeah. Ken's over there like peeping up smiling. I'm not smiling anymore. So, yeah. Get in here. Ken, if you want to hop in here.

um how many are hot so there's there's yeah one reaper gummy and then five sweet gummies i hate spicy shit i i we're just i was just talking about this the other day i'm so glad that our spicy phase is over i've just been getting back into it actually because i've been watching a lot of hot ones interviews lately so i've kind of been jones and for some heat either way bro this is not a game i've done the i'm not excited for this but i thought you pulled uh the It'll mess you up for the hottest chip. Yeah, 30 minutes. I'm genuinely terrified to do one of those, one of the one chip challenge.

I think it's the same as this. They're both about the same hot. Bro, they're straight up selling. Is the hot one? You guys got to share your like, move Mike. Okay, I don't, they all look the exact same. Okay. They're all together?

Let me be the judge. No. Get your greasy fingers out of there. Because Ken, what if you were judging and then you found the hot one was your gummy bear? What would you do? I had Ken eat the world's hot as gummy bear and then we poured vodka in the milk

and drink the milk The whole gummy bear thing You know that's it's a fun prank And then the fact that yeah That we poured vodka That took it a little far Even as he was chugging And he was drinking and he didn't even notice it

You didn't notice it and then I was like Man I feel bad Friends sure are assholes Don't smell it Don't look at it I'm not even I'm not going to look at it or smell it So there's no spin or anything

You just legitimately There ain't no roulette It's just I thought this is Ben is the roulette right now Included in box One game board One dice five gummy bears One extreme spicy bear

One winner scratch off card There's a lot included Hold up Okay I feel like Hold up What? Who didn't get one I got one? Everybody got one

Ryan doesn't have one I don't have one I don't have one I don't have one right No there's there's one more after this Oh fuck Fuck Let's just let's do it

It might be the one that no one gets. Hey, Evan! I totally got it. I don't think so. And I feel like I do. I feel like for this to be fair, we need to put a gummy bear on each of these, and then you roll the dice for it.

That's how you're supposed to do it. I like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it was pretty random the way we got them. I like that, though, because I don't still. Mike and I feel like we got it. I feel like I got it. I feel like I got it. Yeah.

Let's do that. Okay. We're going to do it the right. We're going to do it the right way. We're going to do it the right way. Why? Why not? What are you talking about?

Just give Evan this one. No, no, no, no. Oh, did you rig it? Because if you rigged it, this would make, oh, okay. I'm going to puke, guys. Let's do this. Ready? All right, boys.

Cheers. You got to eat this. You got to eat it too, right? Dude, I don't know if you'll be able to finish it. I'm just looking out of it. I'm pretty sure mine is the one. Do we have a puke shot? All right.

You can puke in here. Here we go, guys. Here we go. Three, two, one. I got it. Oh, fuck. I didn't get it. I got it.

No, I got it, dude. Okay, yeah, mine, I didn't get it. Oh, man, I need something. Oh, man. Grab me a beer. And get him some apples, cider vinegar. This ain't going to work. He said this ain't going to work.

Go, go, go. He said this ain't going to work. Whoa, he didn't even make it down serious. He went into his office. He threw up in his office. All right, we've gone. We've gone rogue.

We're off podcast now. That, um, all right, I thought mine was the one because I was looking up. They have a little bit of spice to him here. No, I was looking at yours and like the back of mine was like completely sugar covered.

Yours was like missing the backside. All right. We'll cut back and forth to Ben and Siege. It doesn't look like it's going well. I feel bad because I, I didn't want to get spiced. I didn't even. I feel bad for him.

I thought I was being set up for sure. You can't speak. Oh shit I'm just kidding I am 100% Thoroughly happily surprised That that wasn't a prank on me Oh yeah

I just figured being pulled in like that I'm so happy usually that set up for me I just love that it wasn't I love that they gave every other So let's say CJ's was 100 100 out of 100 hot And every other gummy bear Had like two out of 100 hot

Just a slight bit Mine just tastes like a sugarcoated gummy bear A mine had It was a cinnamon I think that's what it was. They make them cinnamon flavored. So mine, I'm like, oh, I think I got it. Yeah, I had just enough spice to get nervous.

All right. It's been, like, longer than I was expecting. Ben's coming back. CJ's not. Honestly, I thought I was like, if I get it, there's no way I'm continuing to do this, so I don't expect him to. Did you get him some milk?

Oh, we don't have any milk. Huh? How'd it go? With buddy. With your cuss, bro, the gummy bear. Oh, he's not doing well. He's not doing well at all. I feel bad.

Hey, what's going on here? This is Evan. We gave up. We gave up on it. No, we're going to hit five. We're going to go up 5K during this podcast. Ooh. I love that confidence.

If not, we'll never release it. We're not going against our word. Where's the pod? Oh, we accidentally let Evan in, so can't really post it. Man, I'm so glad that wasn't me. Whoa. Me too, dude. Man, that I just was nervous.

What? From the scratch off? Oh, yeah. Check that there's a scratch off. I believe the winner gets it, which I think C.J. is the winner. But is he, he's M.I.A. for a minute. Scratch off. Scratch it off.

Yeah. Ben, did you know which one was the hot one? No. It's literally just a random assortment. Dude, he just got 15% off whatever they're selling. Unbelievable. That's lame as frick. That was the scratch off?

Yeah. Garbage. Now we know. Rape her wheel. Ev has this idea and it's to create the wheel of misfortune. And whenever we get in a situation that someone needs to be like thrust into a situation, we go spin the wheel of misfortune. Such a good name.

I love that. And what does it just say like yes, no? What would be on there? Like an eight ball sort of thing. Yeah, why are you so sweaty also? Please tell me you're watching cops. No, dude. I was just washing the rigs.

So is that sweat or is that like missed? Probably missed. Okay. It is kind of warm up here, though. All right, so, okay, so what would be on the wheel of misfortune? Well, I originally was thinking, like, nipple piercing would have been a good one on there. But that's already played out. Yeah.

But, I mean, things similar to that, maybe like an ass tattoo. Oh, oh, man. Would you rather take, I'm not talking super hard either, but would you rather take a swift to the nuts or an ass tattoo? A swift kicking the nuts or an ass tattoo? I take a swift kick in the nuts Same same same I think Who picks the tattoo? Whatever you want

Because that's another thing Picking someone's tattoo I think heightens it so much Oh yeah you have to get a tattoo Okay I do Oh you have to get a silly tattoo Would you let me I'll take the kick in the nuts

I think I think Ass tattoos are tacky Unless you're a girl No I still think they're tacky Also when chicks get the lips tattooed down here. I don't like that.

I think it's tacky. Really? Yeah. That's just my two cents. It didn't matter at all. If you've got either of those things, good for you, do your thing. But I just think they are.

I wouldn't do it. That's definitely... What about just a normal tattoo? No. Normal tattoos are cool. And I don't even care if you do the patchwork ones, which probably isn't my style. But I think tattoos are cool.

Mike, are you getting a tattoo you've been talking about for forever, dude. One day. I think you would actually look hard as fuck with the whole sleeve, dude. I love one. And at this point, who knows but like can you not see mike with the sleeve i love the idea of like i think your buddy brad was doing it like full sleeve and then like using your skin as part of the art board and like leaving some exposed parts yeah like you have a full sleeve and then you have like two bands here

and this part is just like just your skin but yeah it'd be pretty cool i mean one day would make you look like kind of like much more interesting yeah you know you would look at mike you'd be like, what's his deal? Who is he? I already wonder that. At this point, yeah, it's like the older I get, like the more fresh the tattoos will look when I'm older, older,

so I mean, that's the only thing I have going. That's the only thing I have going for my... I haven't you gotten any tattoos. Oh, I just want them to look fresh when I... I don't want my grandkids making fun of me for having crusty tattoos. Yeah, yeah.

When did people start getting tattoos? Like, how long-ass time ago? Like Native Americans... Yeah, but like, I think fucking Egyptians and... stuff like that. I wish I had the answer to that, but I think it's way back. I think that's amazing.

I'm talking like sleeves. I don't know. I think always. Oh, really? Well, I guess, yeah, think of like in Hawaii and maybe,

you know, other tropical areas. They're very like, is that like based in Hawaii? Where did tribal tattoos actually start? Like those just. Probably Native Americans. Probably.

But like whatever, I don't even call it tribal, but the Hawaiian tattoos are very distinct. You guys, ever seen Moana Mike gets a full-on Hawaiian tattoo I would look so

well just it wouldn't be right for me that's for sure there is some tattoos that look better with like muscles like some you know

no totally like the rocks got the pack one that's like what I picture you know Andrew Tate's big one that goes across this

like what of my gut that if I'm just flat like I got no packs for nothing little bit of a gut if I got He's like, what's this guy's deal? He's like, maybe one day he used to be fit.

Yeah. And welcome back, Z.J. Lotzer. Dude, I feel bad. That was hot. Yeah. I bet. That was really hot. Are you good?

My mouth is on fire still. Oh, really? It's not nearly as bad. Like, I was pacing down there, but did you, did you yak? Yeah. Oh, man, that sucks. Yeah, I threw up and everything. It tasted terrible.

It tasted so bad. At first, It was like a sneak attack I put it in Because I had done it before Maybe it was because I didn't know When I put it in Oh my gosh

It was like It tasted just like a weird tasting Like a weird tasting Gummy Berry at first Sorry my mouth is still so hot That was bad Oh poor kid That was bad

It still is bad I wouldn't wish that Upon anybody I knew I had it Right away I didn't You did Because there's a little hole

poked in mine Oh So I was like They injected Something in yeah I'm surprised you That shows how honest you are. I would have probably just been like,

this is for sure it and plop that on the table. Evan would have been so, like, we call him up here. Evan was like definitely expecting it to be him. He's like, when you went to film,

he's just like, I'm like, I was like guaranteed that it was me because like why else would you frantically call me in here and give me a gummy bear? And also Ken thought that too because he's like,

I've been set up so many times but we've never set you up to make it be you. I don't know if that's true at all. Oh, have we? I don't know if that's true, but I agree. Never mind. Sorry, I take that back.

I agree most of the time. Actually, you know what? I haven't. Somebody else has. Maybe I just showing my cards. How do we get candy to eat the gummy bear that one time? I just plopped it down. It was like Lil Nitro,

world's hottest gummy bear. Yeah. What was the? Oh, remember one time when I sent the bowl. No, that was for you. No, that was just for whoever. Well, yeah. Yeah, but Brian got it.

Yeah, why did Ken eat it? Why did you eat it? He lost some bed or something. Ken placed it on someone else's, but yeah. And that's when he drank the vodka milk. Dude, it's the Snapchat profile picture of Ken. Really? Yeah, he's looking off into the distant land.

Oh, that's right. When the sirens go off, it seems in on his face. That was one thing that was really fun about the old shop. Like, there was so many good memories there, but maybe this wasn't even at the old shop. Okay. But I do remember, like, times at the old shop being in that little kitchen. We were so confined together.

It was just like stuff was always happening. We're always dancing on top of the desk. Because, yeah, you really. We were drinking a lot more. We were drinking a lot more then. Because you really couldn't be in there without. If you and someone else were in there, you like had to vibe together. Yeah.

There was not enough space to feel alone. Yeah. What? Well, you know what it is? I'm picturing you. too in the kitchen Ryan and I vibe together I have so many snap memories

and it's just silent but they're both like popping I had so many funny snap stories just from that little kitchen living room office alone alone it's so funny

my favorite I'll pop it up right here is when CJ goes if I got you smoking that same I will be living I think you're imitating somebody's mom or a mom in general

but oh god damn that was funny All right I have a really funny story that I'm pretty excited to tell It is another assisted living nursing home story You know it's gonna be good So my grandpa

Chilling in the assisted living My mom's new husband Went to go visit him I don't know if he's dropping him off pick him up whatever but he's there And my grandpa apparently he has they have um like their supper or just eating buddies it kind of stinks that they i'm sure they can sit with other people if they want to but like assigned buddy sucks oh really assigned yeah yeah it's like

i'm sure it's hard for people to communicate it's tough it's like yeah they're just but it's like the same like twice a day just like silently kind of sitting i mean they talk whatever but kermit guy his his name's kermit yep zams kermit his uh supper dinner buddy he uh he's known him for a long time which makes it funny you know they both grew up like in the same town And he likes to, I just preface this, he likes to poke fun at Kermit for not remembering stuff. Classic. Which is so funny.

Yeah, Kermit says he's going to take his imaginary girlfriend in Texas. And I said, well, when you fly. Oh, yeah. And then my grandpa was, when you fly. Typical sandmen. Typical sandmen. Just putting them in their place. Just a dick.

Typical salmon, making fun of a asshole. thinks his dead wife is alive What an idiot No no No you're going to take Mary To the Army ball Mike is like hey Grandpa tomorrow

At lunch Make sure you kick him in the nuts Really hard About something super personal Put him down Yeah so But I mean I guess the only reason

He's able to do that And I think that it's somewhat okay Is that he's Also losing his memory You know If he was just like Quick wit and all there it'd be really mean

but he's so so so this actually doesn't have anything to do with my grandpa besides that him and Kermit are homies but every day when they eat Kermit thinks that someone's paying for his meals

you know when you start to forget a lot I think a lot of guys they get worried where their money is where's my money I got money I got money right and so he ends every meal and is like my meals are free like are you got who's paying for your guys is like who's paying for mine is what i wonder so i'm on this basically he's accusing people of picking up his tab that doesn't exist

i got money yeah you don't even paying for me listen man it's exactly like that yeah and so he apparently accuses one guy so many times because there's only like you know eight dudes yeah 10 people total in the room and uh the guy got so upset that he kept accusing him of paying for his food that he walked over while kermit was watching tv one one evening and just bopped him what yes nursing old fight club and and then what like how hard enough to make him bleed nice he punched another member yeah i can't imagine that's good for your repicking up his tab i you know i'm sure they would be mad at kermit yeah yeah yeah he was mad at kermit wait who got punched the kermit because kermit was accusing other homie

of picking of being like dude stop paying for my food which is just there maybe is more to it trying knocking some sense into it but uh yeah so my mom's new husband was there washed it go down no yeah and so my favorite part is then the CNA those girls

or guys don't get paid enough to deal with that the best part is since they don't get paid enough to deal with that they didn't they just were like they the one girl says to the guy who sucker punch and said let's just say his name Steve, Steve, I told you to come to me when you get this angry.

So clearly it was a problem from before. Steve's talked about this. And then to Kermit, they literally was just like, how you, Kermit, you okay? Yeah. All right, well, here's some paper towels. Clean yourself up. Jeez. So he said it's about how it went.

I'm like, that is wild. You know, like, can you imagine just the whole situation, seeing it, being Kermit, just being one of the CNAs, like, yeah. The last place I'd expect to get punched is in a nursing home. Right. To get punched. Dude. Yeah.

I bet Mike's grandpa was like the instigator. And he was like going behind and he was like, hey, so he has been paying for your meal. He just doesn't want you to know it to Kermit. And Kermit's like, I fucking knew it. Kermit probably doesn't even like his name, but Mike's grandpa just gave it to him. It's like poop stain. Mike's other neighbor or whatever. You had just mean names.

for all your friends growing up, not friends, but just acquaintances. That's what I was wrong with. I should say victims. Hey, poop stane. There was this little kid growing up

that lived next to my buddy Dylan's house and then I would always roll over to Dillon's and sometimes he wouldn't be there. But Corbyn was outside and I'd roll up to him and I'd go. That's what Dylan called him. So you call him what? Poopstain Corbyn. But keep in mind,

I'm like 13, 14 and poop staying Corbyn is like six. Oh, wow. Hold on, hold up. Did Poop St. Corbyn earn his name? No, that's the other funny. Never even had a poop stain? Never, that's kind of fucked up. Yeah, I mean, never once had an issue with poop or stains or anything.

And then I just- Is you being 14 and him being six supposed to make the story better for you or worse? Better because it's funnier. Oh, I wasn't sure if you were like justifying it. No, no. Sounds to me like you were picking on a child. Yeah. No, I guess in a roundabout way, I definitely was.

After that, I was like, yo, I'd always ask him, Where's Dylan? And he'd be like, I don't know. He's your friend. Go over to his house and check. I just saw him. But then I would have to go. All right, poop stain.

Give him to the attitude. All right, you little nerd. Give him a wedge in the road. Dude, it's just fun, like, messing with, like, as in at the end of the day, all I did, sure. But all I did was call him poop stain carbon. Never beyond that actually. Try to spend that to the principal, Mike. Mike.

True. We weren't even in the same school. I was in high school It was the good thing You didn't grow up in today's time Mike Yeah true I'd get canceled Would you?

I think you'd be in the principal's office dude No I was already in the principal's office Oh really What calling people poop staying Corbin Or other names Yeah I mean

Did you get in trouble as a kid Yes but not like a lot Not where they would look at me and go Dude Of course he's in there I didn't quite get to that point or anything like oh yeah i mean obviously he's in there he's in there every other day it was like probably uh you know once or twice uh a semester would grab a good detention like really just a solid

detention for like mouthing off or something classic yeah just somewhere like tipped over the edge yeah yeah definitely sense yeah or like one time we got detention for i've told this before but this is just straight up bullying when we were running crushers and then this this dude ran all funny not that he didn't have any disabilities or anything he just ran funny so we ran like him and

the gym teacher was just like he caught on right away and was like if you're gonna make fun of him you're out of here so our whole squad four of us got detention did you guys run like that to detention oh man when I think back to like the kids that used to get bullied that would obviously just give a little bit of a reaction enough to, like, have, like, the cool kids

just keep doing it to get, like, a laugh out of all their friends. You don't want to give a reaction. You don't want to give a reaction, but, man, I actually, I do really feel bad about, I never bullied these kids, but I also, I didn't stick up for them because then it's like you're sticking up against, like, all the cool kids and shit too, but actually, wrap it back to Facebook. I know what some of them are, like, up to now just because from being, like, Facebook friends with them.

I see that. I'm like, man, would they have turned out different if they wouldn't have gotten bullied? So you feel like you fully set them off on the wrong path? I wasn't like the one bullying. I wasn't being like Mike, but I also wasn't like sticking off for him. So maybe. And I guess it's tough because like maybe like most of the people that I gave a hard time to, I could see now and be like, what's up?

And we're like having a normal conversation. We're having a normal conversation. Like I guess none of the, none of the. None of the people, I guess, that I ever poke fun at are turned out as shitheads, like, to be honest, that I can think of. Actually, I take that back. We had one buddy. He was one of my best friends that we, like, really bullied. Yeah, I was like, we don't have to say his name, but I was like, there's one person, one person that I saw you pick on.

Other than that, you really didn't. But there's one person. I feel like there's a difference, though. And I was impressed at what your line was of stopping, which was really far. I feel like one of, like, the best friends, like, one of my best homies still to this day, but, like, would just give that good reaction. It's different, though, and we push it far. That you hang out with.

There's some kid that's off on his own in the lunchroom. There's totally two difference. You're like your friend who you invite and hang out with and play sports with or do whatever with, you know, big difference. Yeah, weird dicks. Yeah. I will say, though, when you're in, like, high school, you just don't. no you don't fully have a good grass you don't realize yeah so like you can't hold that against them

because i had when i had a really bad concussion in high school there was kids calling me a pussy and all this yeah and like honestly like i was pretty mad about it even like probably like a year or two after but now i look back i'm like god you just still it seems like you're old but you're not yeah you're still like you just don't know and like even right now we don't know but like Back then in high school, if you're in high school, you just don't know. You know even less. Yeah, you know even less. So what's the excuse with Mike's grandpa of making fun of his buddy for remembering his dead wife?

That statement was astronomically something. Yeah, right. You might have just made that one up. Kermit's just like reminiscing about taking wife to the ball. He thinks one of the CNAs is his girlfriends. He reminds. Well, maybe it is, dude. Yeah, maybe he doesn't.

people knowing or something but he's tapping it he said they go on the low just a young just a young like 24 year old girl matching like sounds knowing that girl sounds great for him dude he's probably loving it like yeah no no money no house no nothing to really i mean i shouldn't say no money but no no no like nothing to provide don't tell him he has no money yeah he got money like mike walk city Okay, this is so messed up And I obviously wouldn't do it But it's just as subtle as like seeing him next time I go in there and eat with them every once in a while

If it's the right time And if I was like, Kermit How do you feel about me picking up your meals The last couple of weeks? That is Mike his asshole It's a statement right there He goes, ah, this old man That's funny

That's hilarious. All right, should we wrap it up? Yeah, good times. It was good to be back. Good to have you healthy. Good to have everyone healthy. So, yeah, you guys saw a little tweak of Evan there for, what, a minute. So if you subscribe, you want more of them.
