Evan hit for $10,000. Can we say what he was going to buy? I think you can. You know, you had the mom chaser on the lake. Now Ken is taken over the winters too with his ice mansion. Greg's wanted to come out around us, but I've never seen full-blown Greg. Like, we'd progress through Ken. Ken had went to bed and it was just full Greg.

We're just going to get Spinney down here. The government is being heinful to deal with. We good? Oh, we're so back. Oh, we're back, boys. We're back, boys. feels good it does feel good honestly i feel like i've been a little lost lately dude i was feeling the exact same way ryan i uh i used to always think like i think retiring one day is going to be sick like

yeah be a cool dad like be around and stuff and like have free time after our our break we went on like a week long break and then the plan was to go uh uh two week long break so everyone's all over the place right i have been going insane like start crazy the last four days. So like right now, we were just like, yo, let's just get back to it. Like, we're not even supposed to be here right now, but we were just like, yeah, we got to, we got to go do something. We got to get the show back on the road. Mike's not even back yet. Dude, Mike's always, Mike does everything late, bro. He even went on vacation late. When all of us were getting back, he was leaving. To be fair, we did say that. Yeah, I passed

Mike in the airport. Literally? He was leaving. I was getting home. Where are you going? Yeah. Where are you going, Mike? He went to Revy where the, snow was actually insane. I'm a little bit. I'm not even a little bit. I'm super jealous, to be honest. Yeah, I am too. It looks fun. But I was planning on doing something with them too, or like going to Revy or going to Vegas or something like that. And then I got sick. I feel like I guess what CJ had like three weeks ago. You don't have as bad as I did, which I felt like I haven't been sick like that in a long, long, long time. Like I was out of commission. Like I haven't been on this podcast like two or three weeks. It was weird being back. but yeah I'm happy to be here yeah we went so Ken and I and Ryan we were in Florida we had a lot of fun times but we were supposed to go to Vegas right after Florida and we couldn't do it I have my flights book I was ready to go Ken could bro you got into an animal I text in the group chat like hey I got my flights booked you guys are all like eh and then I hear like legitimately the next day oh we're

actually just going to go home so I was like all you have to do is just say a destination and Ken, oh, my flight's already booked. Yeah, but Ken, you're an animal. Like, I was over it after drinking for that many days. You had been there longer than me, drinking for longer, and you were ready to roll to Vegas. Like, you could have kept going. Well, I needed a vacation for my vacation.

Is that what the kids are calling it? He's built different, CJ. There is a flight that leaves tonight at, like, nine, an Allegiant flight. There's a 530 Delta as well. I've honestly been thinking about it. I thought about it once we all got together and I went, Mike, we could probably take a little trip. When's you get back?

We can come back Sunday. If I didn't have a wedding, I'd go. Ooh, you got a wedding. Hey, we don't have weddings. You should. Yeah, wow. I am feeling better. Just like that, feeling better.

Especially after that news, Ryan. I know. Tell us about your trip, Ben. Where were you? What did you do? I spent a week out in Big Sky, Montana, with my fiancee and her family. It was good. Like, Greta was working most of the time.

She just, like, works remote. She's trying to stack up that PTO. Oh, really? Yeah, for like just our honeymoon and stuff. Yeah. Things like that. So she's like trying to not take off any work. And then my, her little brother, who's usually like my boy and my ski buddy,

got a girlfriend. She's Latina. She's never skied before in her life. So he was just like being a good boyfriend and skiing with her the whole time. So I was just kind of like a lost puppy dog. I was skiing with like her sister. But yeah, it was chill though. Usually, like, on New Year's, you know, you'll do it big.

Maybe you guys still did it big, but I didn't do it as big. Really? Sprang champagne. Yeah, because last year, Spenny came down. Yeah, Sprang champagne all over and, yeah, just growing up maybe. We did it big. Did you? We did it big.

Well, that's what I like to hear. Yeah, we did it big. Ken did it the biggest, debatably. I think everyone did it really big. I did it really big two nights, and then I kind of had to pump the brakes a little bit for the rest of the trip. I saw Greg was out in full of them. So when Ken gets drunk, his alter ego is Greg.

I got to meet Greg for the first time. Like, I mean, Greg's wanted to come out around us, but I've never seen full-blown Greg. Like, Grant was so long gone. We'd progressed through Ken. Ken had went to bed and it was just full Greg. What was he doing? Oh, my gosh.

Getting into arguments with bouncers. Pointed his finger everywhere, dude. He did. He called those stupid little bitches or something. No, okay, so we were the only people in this rooftop bar. The only people. And then they were, no, no, no. We got to take your tables and your seats away.

We're turning this into a club dance floor. It's like, we're the only people in here. What are you talking about? This is ridiculous. Greg had a point. Greg's coming out right now. But Greg maybe didn't explain himself too clearly. And the bar was doing what they wanted to do.

So you were, it was like, okay. You call them stupid little bitches to their face? I don't remember what exactly was. Of course. As soon as Ken does something that he doesn't want to remember, he doesn't remember. I genuinely don't remember that. But I just know it. I rounded the troops.

We hopped in the elevator and we went to a new bar. No, the best part was when we got out. So we had to take this elevator down. And there was like people like starting to line up to go in. And Ken told them all not to go in. Like there's stupid little bitches or something like that. And I was just like, holy shit. It was crazy.

But I was on the opposite end. Like our whole crew was kind of. kind of pissed at them. And then, like, I started, like, just stacking the chairs and, like, helping them move shit. And they're like, get out of here. Get out of here. Kind of pissed them off, helping them. Kind of being an op.

I didn't really see much of your guys's trip. I felt like you were rolling kind of under the radar. Like, I was, I was trying to keep tabs on it. But I saw CJ's story of you at the pool with, like, 15 cups stacked up. And then your hands were all pruning. Oh, holy. Bro, Ken definitely did just put in a shift. He peed in the pool all day.

held, I held it until the very end. And then I was like, there's no fucking way. We were at Margaritaville for eight hours. And all we did was drink. Like those were just his beers. He was drinking cocktails, too, that he could stack. I initially started with the cocktails and then I just went straight beer. That's when I started stacking them.

I mean, we were, yeah, my hands were prunes. He was in the water the whole time. And that was, Greg was out, all effect. He was chilling. I mean, I was chilling all afternoon. In that state, like he needs a lot more to turn into Greg. Yeah. Dude, Ken's a fucking machine when he goes to drinking.

And he's right up in the morning, hitting the gym. I know. Unphased. On phase. Morning after? Oh, yeah. The little community I was in had a little, like, pool, gym set up. Were you in a swinger community?

Ken, were you not in the same communities as these guys? Are you doing a swinger community? No, CJ stayed in the same neighborhood. Ryan was in a different one. Where were you at? Place called Paseo. Were you staying by yourself? No, I was staying with a couple other people.

Gavin and another friend. Okay, I wasn't sure if it was just like a couple's retreat here, Ken. No. And you were working. To vacation. That's why you needed a vacation. It was a vacation. You were actually working on vacation.

Yeah. You know, when you're drunk, it's just never a good time to start posts and Snapchat's. Yeah. That's what I figured. I figured you guys are just running it. I've learned, you know, what, I'm just going to regret if I post anything. So I just was, I was chilling for the most part. But one fun thing we did was, well, obviously I was betting on sports the whole time through.

But then we met our friend, and he was telling us about how him and his boys had just ran a monopoly game. Like a very high stakes monopoly game. How high are the stakes? They were doing it for. Maybe beep the name. I don't want to expose like, but they were doing what their underground monopoly game. I don't know if I'm sick. Can I?

Yeah. We can probably say. They were doing 10K a person, 10K a person, Monopoly games. And they ran two of them back to back. How fucking insane. That's insane. Yeah. And that's some degenerate gambling right there.

So anyways, he's like, yeah, you got to come over and we'll run Monopoly tomorrow if you want. And I was like, all right, but I mean, I'm not playing for those stakes. So then we did like 500 a person and there were six of us and I lost. So, yeah, that kind of suck. But it was a lot of fun. The guy who was. It was actually a two.

way tie. Oh, yeah. That's right. The real estate billionaire won the Monopoly game. Who would have thought? Who would have thought that? But,

yeah, so it was fun, though. I'd never really played a full game of Monopoly. Very, very fun. They had this luxury monopoly board. It's like a $500 board,

but it's fucking nice. We weren't playing on some little basic ass. Right. You know, Harzboro border, wherever the hell of it, you pronounce it. Mahogany wood.

Oh, it's sick. Elevated. Gold little thing. Lit up. It's, It's nice. So I end up ordering one of those

because we're going to be playing Monopoly once my house is done. I can see all the boys. You know, we don't have to play high stakes. Maybe we're playing $100 a person. Yeah, it was fun.

It definitely elevates things when you have a substantial amount of money on the line for it. You're like, is this the right move or do I just let this pass? Like it definitely makes you think of it. I mean, yeah,

it just wouldn't be fun playing for no reason. I think for no money. It's just like really anything, dude. Like once you start betting, is such a, it's a slippery slope. Addict, dude. Yeah, that, and it's a very slippery slope because once you start doing it, it's like,

you realize you can bet on every, every, and especially nowadays, dude, like, you can literally place bets on anything and everything with like these, I mean, polymarket and now even on price picks. Robin Hood. Oh, yeah. It's insane, which I don't know, it's crazy. But anyways, you start doing that. It's hard to watch a football game without some money on it, you know?

Holy shit, CJ. Are you all right? On Sunday we're sitting at a bar. I'm watching football and it's like, okay, I got this bet on this. What was my bet for this game? Then I got this bet over here. It's a lot more interesting when they have all the games playing and you know I have money on all of these. This might be the first time I think I might actually be concerned about you guys.

I know, yeah. There's no going back to. Like what you guys are saying right now is pretty concerning. The only way that we'd be able to go back to not is if we ran out of money. C.J. It's just, it's a done deal. What the heck? It's a done deal, man.

I think C.J. is the worst out of all of us. This, dude. Am I? I'm not that bad. I think when you're playing Monopoly and you need 500 bucks on the line for it. Just to have a good time? Just to have, just to feel something.

And what was it that you said? I can't imagine not having money on a monopoly game. Well, I wouldn't even play then. I just wouldn't play. Yeah, I think that might be signs that you're a sicko, but, honestly, I love Monopoly.

Like, I've always It's a great game. The only thing that is tough about monopolies, it takes a long time to play, like, takes like three hours.

We played for like three hours. Yeah, three hours. So it's like, it's hard to get people to want to play monopoly with you. Like every year, like Thanksgiving or Christmas,

I try and get my family to play and they're always like, oh, it takes too long. But when you got a three hours sweat. It took a long time to get everything set up. And then like once CJ went out,

I immediately went out. The next, guy went out and then it went down to two-way tie. Because it's strategy, dude. It's like there's luck and then there's strategy. I mean, did the person that win, did he have, is it Broadway? Boardwalk. Boardwalk.

Thank you. He did, but yeah, I don't know. There's a lot of different strategies when it comes to playing Monopoly and obviously you got to trade and there's a lot to it. It's a pretty in-depth game if you're playing with people that know what they're doing. CJ was watching YouTube videos and chat too. I was, I knew I was like, okay, so to, tomorrow I'm going to be playing this game.

So on our way over there, I'm sitting there watching, you know, theory strategies and all that. I wasn't going to go in there. Otherwise, like, you're just going to go into something and not know what you're doing. You might as well, and you got money on it. You might as well just fucking hand them the money right away, you know? Right. Like, obviously, I'm going to try and win.

But, uh, anyways, super fun. We're going to be playing a lot of it over at my house. I would more look at the people that you are playing with. The guy is literally a real estate billionaire. Like his life is monopoly in real life, right? And he's clearly won. But I wanted to beat him. At a big skin.

It would have been, it definitely would have been good for your confidence level if you would have. I also, I mean, either way I wanted to play, but like, I didn't really. He had, yeah, anyways. Like, they had bought, he bought lunch the day prior and it was probably like a $2,000 lunch. So I was just like, I mean. He needed the win. Well, I just was like, you know, probably 500 of this was my bill.

So let's just run that. I don't know. That's cool, though. I like to hear that. Like, even when you're, you know, a grown-up adult, you can still play Monopoly. Obviously, you got to have a little chatter on the line. What did you think about the, like, what else do we do? Like, we went out on the boat.

Well, during the Monopoly game, let's not pass up, I bought a fish house during that Monopoly game. That's right. That's right. Let's go, Kenny. Just what you needed, a fish house. Ken got a great fucking deal on it. Have you seen the fish house yet? I have seen it, Ken.

And I think that it's going to be a great place. for you to drink. The only thing that I'm wondering is one, do you own an auger? Nope. Okay. And two, do you know how to tie a fish hook? Nope. Okay. Dude, there's not going to be a single hole drilled I am going to learn. Are you actually going to be some holes? I think there's going to be some holes drilled in that fish house. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, there's definitely going to be a lot of holes drilled in the fish house. It's not a fish house. It's a fish home. And I'm going to live there. I'm going to move in there. Are you, you're moving into it? I'm going to move in there. You do He was talking about it.

Does he have a shower? Yeah, it does. It's got a fireplace. It's got a fireplace, two TVs. It's such a big fish house that it's an inconvenience because the ice has to be so thick. The thing weighs 9,000 pounds. I'm curious on how you're going to, like, obviously the ice is thick enough now, but you'll probably want to stay closer to shore.

Obviously, you're going to be right out front of your house because you're not really caring about fishing. I can't go in front of my house because that ice froze late. I have to go on a different side of the lake because it's thicker over there. Holy crap. So when are you putting this thing out? I got a little bit more cleaning to do and then maybe end of day today or tomorrow. Let's go.

Ken bought this thing at like half price. Hey, I'm there for when you do this. I got a killer deal on. Sometimes you leave the doctor's office with more questions than you had when you got there. No real. Maybe they just said you're fine. It told you you drink some more water. No real data.

I got to see you in action as a fish house owner. So I can only imagine, you know, you had the mom chase. on the lake. Now Ken is taking over the winters too with his ice mansion that, I mean, I can only imagine all of the women, all the local women are going to be hanging out in. Dude, you're going to have to get your women, some snowshoes. Well, it's got three slide-outs, so it's got all the space. It's huge. How many beds are in this? Three pull-out couches.

It's the only thing that's going to be pulling out in that ice house. But anyways, Ken, I got you something. There's just a little shirt. You know, obviously there's going to be a lot of drinking in the Ice House, but also another thing's going to be going on. So I got you this shirt. Just so that way, you don't even have to tell the people. You don't even have to say it to the women. I'll read the shirt to the, to the listeners.

So it says, I came here to drink and fuck, and I'm almost done drinking. So here you go, Ken. Wear that on your opening night. It's an Excel for you. What does opening night look like? I don't know. I think right now, I got to like. get it out there, get it situated, figure out how everything works.

Like, we got to do opening night big. Ben, what do you mean we? You ain't going to be there. Throw off the ratio, first off. Second off, I don't think you booze hard enough to be. That is true. I'm going to definitely have to get back into it if I want to hang with you. Man, Ken, you are a professional boozer.

Look at that. You just bought another place just to have somewhere else to drink. I mean, you don't just drink in an ice house. You also fish. I thought you said you're not. I'm going to live there. It's going to be my home. That's what Ken's calling it now.

Fishing, huh? Fishing. Makes sense. It's going to be my home. I got to live somewhere. It's actually not a bad idea, Ken. A little mobile home. It's funny because I feel like you were saying, like,

I'm just going to buy an ice house and park it out in front of my house that's being built and I'll live there and I'll be able to, like, go in my boat house and stuff. And I kind of thought you were joking because it's a pretty extreme thing to do when there's only, you know, roughly two months left of being on the ice safely in an ice house and like sleeping out there. And then you said it so much that when we were playing that Monopoly game, the one guy goes, oh, I got an ice house, I'll sell you.

And then he threw out like a really good price. And Ken was thinking about it. I was just in here. I was like, Ken, I'll buy half of it with you if you want because I was such a good price. And he goes, I'll buy it for myself. He did not want. So the only reason why I was contemplating it so hard

it's because I know how big it was. And I was like, okay, I know it's big and it's heavy and you can only use it for certain times of the year. Because the ice has to be so thick. So I was like, do I want to buy something that big where I'm, you know, I'm limited to basically January and February, you know, compared to maybe, you know, if we have an early ice season, I could take something smaller out potentially sooner and keep it out later. So that was the only thing that I had to think about. And I was like, ah, I'm just going to do it. I'd love to go fishing tomorrow. We should go ice fishing tomorrow.

I mean, we can film our next ice fishing. fishing pod in my ice house. It's got, it's the nicest ice house I've ever been. It's hardly, it's not even ice house. It's just like a little ice home. It's so good. Can you imagine Ken Texusses? It's like, yo, can you guys come save me?

How it's felt through the ice? Like, I'm curious how, like, just pulling it out there, it is going to be kind of nerve wracking. How thick does the ice need to be for this? 18 inches. And how thick is it right now? 18 inches. Oh, it's got to be thicker than that.

It's not. I asked a couple people to drill some holes on different lakes and they're like, okay, it's 16 over here, it's 18 over here. You kind of got to stay in this zone. You know your ice house is, you know you're moving different when you got people out drilling holes for you. In the lakes around where you want it to go and just let me know where it's going to work fast. Well, I just knew this guy's over here, this guy's over there.

The locals around town, there's a lot of anticipation for Ken to open up his ice house. I can imagine. It's like a new. It's like an whole new establishment. You're gonna have you can damn to have your own zip code for this thing. It's a new zone unlocked for everyone. It's gonna be great.

I hope I get the, uh, I hope I get the pin drop to find out where this thing is. I wouldn't hold your breath. So how much was the ice house like this cost, again? New it, knew it was 60,000. That was back in 20.

2019. Oh, I'm sure. I got, are you planning on doing a remodel again? I got it for 25. Oh, that's, can't put a price on that. It's not bad.

It's been used like three times. It's like brand new. It's got cobweb. Like worst thing is it's just got cobwebs in it because it never got used. Other than that, it's literally perfect. There's nothing wrong with it. Well, yeah. I look forward to it.

Yeah, no kidding. Me too. Yo, uh, something else that happened to Big Sky is this guy comes up to me and he was like, hey, you just took some photos with my kids. And I was like, oh yeah, cool. Put up my hand. He's like, yeah, nice to meet you.

My name's Sean Murray. And I was like, Sean Murray. I was like, Sean Murray, the professional wakeboarder Sean Murray. And he was like, yeah, like kind of like surprised that I knew who he was. I was like, dude, you're a legend. Yeah. And he was like, oh, thank you. Thank you.

I came up to say hi to you. And I was like, bro, you don't know the impact that you had on me and my cousin's lives that like arguably led us to where we are today. One of the pieces for sure. Big, big impact on it. I loved his wakeboard. Is that the wakeboard? board that you had?

Yeah, I had two of them. But, but yeah, they were great. Yeah, when CJ and I were kids, we would just, like, sit in my parents' house and we would watch a wakeboard tutorial on how to do all these tricks. And it was Sean Murray teaching these tricks. Yeah.

Was it on DVD or? Yeah, it was on DVD. That's sick. And then we would just watch, watch it, watch it, watch it, and then we would go and try them. Dude, yeah, that's really cool. It's funny because you know how sometimes when you're in your photos, you like,

tap something and it goes all the way back to the top. Does that ever happen, you guys? I don't know what I tap. You top the tap of it. Okay. Anyways, it went to the top. For some reason, last night. I just had some time. So I started watching some of it. And I saw this video of me and you wakeboarding, Ben. It's kind of cool. I do a backflip over you while we were double wakeboarding. That is sick. We did do a lot of wakeboarding and that's really cool. I'm surprised you didn't recognize them right away. He came up. He was wearing

like a beanie and, you know, it's snow gear. Yeah. And then as soon as he said his name, I was like, oh, duh. Dude, what's up? Yeah. So that was cool. He's saying that he lives down in Orlando, Florida. And if we're ever in the area, we got to link up. Oh, that'd be so sick. Do something. Yeah, that would be sick. All those

all those windboard. All those pro wakeboarders are. Yeah, down there. Yeah. Teach Canada out of wakeboard. Because they've all got like those parks. They don't even use boats. Yeah, like, cable parks. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he's behind a boat too, but. See, you were good at wakeboarding back in the day.

Not to say that you aren't anymore, but I would presume that you haven't done it in the WS. I haven't done it in a long time. Yeah, that was fun. That was really fun. Wakeboarding is one of those kind of like lost arts. I feel like that is losing. It's 100% is.

It's spark. It's too dangerous. It's not worth it to them anymore. Yeah, people started wake surfing. I guess if they're like going out on on the lake, everyone used to, initially like ski and then they started wakeboarding and now they're wake surfing right i think they're they're just they're just looking at like a lower impact thing because you look at all these people who are

skiing or wakeboarding and they all just blew out their knees dude wakeboarding is high impact you think it wouldn't be because you're fucking on water but the amount of times that's sick that like even like when we'll have like pro wakeboarders come out for like a video you'll see them crash and they're just like oh fuck they get up and they're yeah Yeah, they're like, I can taste colors right now. Fucking. But, uh, yeah, and you need like perfect water. That's the hard part.

Like, it needs to be calm. Otherwise, it kind of sucks, you know, and you can't be a lot of boats. But, uh, tell us about this car you got, Ben. You spent so much money you had to go backwards from Lamborghini to Ford Focus. I did. I went back to 2018 Ken era, about a Focus RS. Blue, same one as Ken. Exactly same spec I had.

Yeah, no, so like after like this first snowfall and we were just mobbing around on the drift track and Mike pulled up in his Corvette and he started mobbing it around on the streets and it's got like Blizzax on it. I was just like, oh man, it'd be fun to have something to be able to hoon a little bit more. And like I basically came to the realization that I was kind of losing my edge in driving because I don't really spend that much time like ripping around. Like when we were kids, like that's all we did, right? You gain a lot of skill, especially in the winter when it's icy out.

And you're just drifting every single corner by doing that. And I came to the realization that I was just kind of losing my edge in driving where I'd like, I'd hop in even the Miata and go and spin it around. And I just like wasn't as comfortable because I don't daily drive a manual car anymore. And I was just like, I need something that I can just get back to the roots of just hooning everywhere. Something that costs as much as the bumper on your car. Yeah, and I definitely like, you're risky in your current car.

You slurged on that thing. That thing was fucking expensive. Yeah, I mean, it's nice. It's brand new. Yeah, so they're all pretty expensive. Like,

they've, like, held their value like crazy. So, like, you bought that thing for what I traded mine in for, like five years ago. Yeah. So I had Scott, uh,

our buddy who owns Red River. He sources all of our cars for us. I had him looking for one off. of the auction and auction ones we're going for through scott the dealer we're going for 26 27 all day what the fuck yeah it's crazy how they've held their value is insane wow yeah found that one 27 is way more than i wanted to spend but uh yeah the main goal was to just like just get back to the hoon and roots and just drive it and get more comfortable with getting sideways again and and uh you know it's a manual so shifting gears and it's definitely more of a driver's car than, say, Lamborghini Uris.

I don't know if I'd say that. Yeah, it is. You think it's more of a driver's car? Yeah. The Uris is just like a luxury fucking cruiser, bro. That thing's fucking rips. But yeah, but you're not shifting. You're not shifting.

Yeah, I guess maybe it's more. You're driving that thing to the edge and you're still like a quarter throttle in that year's. Yeah, that's the thing too, is like you can absolutely rip it and you're going to going five miles over the speed limit. Like every stop. Honestly, out of the bunch like Subaru WXSTIs to Mitsubishi evos and there's the Focus RS, the Focus RS is the best hooning version, I would say.

Really? Yeah, I just remember I would drive Ken's from time to time. And it was definitely the, like, out of the box, the better hooning car. I think you can make an Evo a lot better than the RS just due to like the motor and other things, just mods that are available, but, uh, but yeah, that thing's a hooner. Like, it just had good suspension, even when it's stock and like, I don't know. It's just got a lot of options. Like, it's got drift mode, but it is.

I thought the seat, the best thing was the seats in that car. It's a hooning car, but it does like, kind of funny. Like, it's just kind of funny looking. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely like, it is. It is a jelly bean. It's definitely not like that sick, but I also didn't buy it to be. Yeah, no, it's just a hooning car.

Yeah. You can hoon the shit out of it. I just bought it to just sharpen my blade of being a better driver. I feel like in our line of work, it's a pretty big investment into our career paths and our lives. And hopefully next time on the drift track, once all the snow melts, I don't drive into a tree. It might be a worthwhile investment. Yeah, exactly. So I just wanted to have something in the winter to be able to do that.

And then come springtime, probably sell it and get something else that I can rip around the drift track on. And if I want, drive down the road. I can't find it, but I have this video of when Ken was lemining out his first focus. And he was all like, oh, I don't want to use the e-break. You're like trying to take care of it. I've been to rip the shit out of that e-break. And he said the e-break didn't work. And I have this video of us just drive.

CJ and I driving down and he rips the e-break and just drifts it around this corner and goes your e-break works. Yeah, it's like 40 and I ripped that thing. So I just bought a drift stick. You found one? I found one, yeah. Nice. I found one from a sub. So Ford Performance made this drift stick that it looks like a rally car would have, right?

Where it locks up and it disengages the rear wheels and it locks them up. Basically, you can pull it and it's not going to damage the car. Because it would on WRX as I remember, like if you would pull them to spin them around, then it would hurt it. Right? It disconnects the rear axle. and then it does something else with the diff and the brakes to make it so like it doesn't hurt the car. No, I don't want to be wrong because I'm going to get fucking crucified,

but it's got symmetrical all-wheel drive system. So like it wants the wheels to be the same moving. It wants the front of the rear axle to be the same. But yeah, it's like always accounting for that. So like on my blue WX, I remember I fucked it up from ripping the E-Rick. But then I totaled it before I had to replace it. So it didn't even matter.

So I got a drip stick coming for it. Which is going to make ripping it around and drifting it even easier, more fun. Hopefully break less stuff. Do you find it? Yeah, I found it. Let's go. On the screen here. Sorry, what was that been?

Yeah, it's got drift mode. So it'll send like more power to the rear. Yeah, that's the best part about that thing. Siege, you should bust out your Evo. Dude, I should. I was thinking about that. I need to register it. I kind of get not wanting to do it in a bunch of snow.

It's just too low. It's just too low. It just really isn't that fast compared to... Oh, this thing is not fast. It's crazy. Like, I used to think Ken's car was so fast and then... There's just like... Driving it around.

It's like, holy crap. It's kind of funny. We stole Ken's car and then just sent him this video. And you wonder why I don't want you guys driving my rigs. I don't wonder why one bit, Ken. I know exactly why. Hey, Ken. Sorry, we got your car.

Boosted. It's pretty good. a little car. That was right by the farm. Yeah, it was right there. Before the farm existed. People are stoked. Oh,

that was my next question. How's the reception from the fans? Oh, they love it. The fans. They love it. That's awesome. Well,

I think it's just like a, it's a good ripper. It's a good, well, it's just like a dream car for a lot of, like, young kids, right? Yeah. Where the response is like, oh, that's achievable.

You know, it is. It's a good ripping car that is in, you know, a lot of people's budget. Like the crazier car you buy, it's not always like received with with for sure excitement because it's like so unrelatable. You know, a lot of like crazy YouTubers these days like Stratman buys a $3 million dollar Koenig. Yeah, I don't even like comprehend it. And most people don't even, yeah, most people don't care because it's not in their realistic goals, right? I don't know, car like this or like a Super WX Hatchback, STI. It's-Sign on TC.

Dude, they're just- Achievable and kids are stoked. So I've been like posting it on my Snapchat and, uh, the responses were kind of surprising. Like they're just so fired up. Like it's a fun, fast car that you can daily drive. Yeah. Like you buy one car and it's, it's going to be fun, fast, reliable.

You can carry your shit. You can fit whoever in it, you know, it's just good. They're the best, man. I think the only thing I didn't like. what that car was below about negative 10, that suspension gets rock hard. It is really? It is stiff. You guys would be surprised hopping in it.

Like, it rides. I got a ride in it. Because I hopped in my TC with my new coilovers. And I think it fucking catches air on the little, like, where they seal the road. It's so bumpy. And my dad's like, I think you're just not used to how rough it's right. I go, no, there's no way it could have been this bad. It depends.

It might be set up wrong. But also if you buy cheap coilovers, they just saw it that way. I know. I thought I bought a nice one. I mean, they aren't like the nicest, but they were still like 900 bucks. Yeah.

It's a pretty decent set of coilovers. It is funny. Like when I hop in my Evo, I'm like driving it. It's like, and I'm like, is the fucking dash about to fall off? Like,

what is going on? Like, everything is rattling and shaking, but like you don't even think about that when you, you know, when you've been used to that car. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I think it's a good reset too. Like, I don't know, it kind of just brings you back to like reality. of speed for sure. Yeah. Like you get so used to like these faster vehicles.

It's fun running through the gears too. I hop in this one and I'm just like to the floor ripping through gears and I look down and I'm doing 65. You're like, oh. I'm like, what? Sometimes I think that with my Hummer. I'm like, why do people drive so slow? And then I'm like, oh yeah, the hummer is just fast as fuck. Like everywhere you go, it's just easy to zip around.

But everything is progressing, right? So it's good to have, I don't know, a little reset. I agree. Ryan, you still want to buy my G-Wagon? I might take it for a test drive today, if I could. I'll need to see proof of funds. Yeah, as I was looking at buying this Focus RS, CJ's sending wide-body yours is in there.

We were close to that one, too. You should have, like, just rented a car and wouldn't look at it. They wouldn't answer my questions. Like, I was trying to get a hold of them, and they were, like, weren't responding. Like, I was genuinely trying to go see this thing. And then they also didn't know shit about it. They were trying to tell me the wide-body fenders

were just put on over the current vendors. I'm like, it doesn't work like that. Yes, not how that works out. And then they weren't responding. I was like, all right, I'm not going to, like, yeah. No wonder they haven't sold it. I wouldn't expect the salesman to on that, that specific car to know anything about it.

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, so Ryan's going to buy my G-Wagon. Now Ben's got me thinking, though, maybe I should get just a little ripper. You have your T-C for that. I know. I got to get the coil overs fixed on it. And once I get that, once I get her set up right,

I'll repaint the bumpers, fix her up. I'll rip the TC. Everyone should buy their cars. Their original first car back? Well, not first car. I mean, I'm not trying to go back to fucking. I mean,

I'd drip a 96 Jeep. But I think we should go back to like those like the Subaru era of us. Like I'll get like a blue WRX. Ken can get a red one. Would it be cool for you if you, if like I could get an all wheel drive car? I think we'll let that. Could I upgrade that slide?

No, I agree. I'd be down. I was looking like those 25. 15 W-R-Xs are worth like nothing compared to those focuses. I know. I was like, I want to focus R-R-R-A. I started looking at the prices.

I was like, what the fuck? What happened with these things? They just didn't make that many of them. I bought that car new, took all the depreciation, sold it and then it just flatlined from there. Can you just notorious for doing that?

Yeah. Well, you just swap cards a lot. I did. So much money over the years. Yeah. Me and Ryan. Ryan's number two.

You guys are sure. It's electric. Every, vehicle that you bought it that's electric. My first model Y, I made money on that car. And then I just made up for it and then some with that model X. But didn't you lose $100,000 on your... All the boys here love Brunt.

We've been reppping their boots for years. And now their entire line of workwear is a staple in each of our wardrobes. The founder of Brunt, Eric Gerard, grew up Blue Collar and started Brunt workwear after his friends in the trades kept telling him that the big brands had stopped listening and hadn't changed in a hundred years. His buddies encouraged him to start a brand, built for them. And that's why all Brunt products are. named after the guys that he grew up with.

Whether you need waterproof, safety toe, soft toe, pull on, or lace up, they've got every option that can handle whatever job site you're walking into. And Brunt stands behind what they make. You can wear them to work, and if they're not right for you, send them back. I don't know any other brand that's doing that. That's a company that believes in their product. Brut was tired of the workwear brands out there cut in corners. You guys work too hard to be stuck in uncomfortable boots that don't hold up,

so they built something better, boots that are insanely comfortable, and are built for any job site. For a limited time, our listeners get $10 off at Brunt when you use the code C-Boys at checkout. Just head to Brunt Workwear.com and use the code C-Boys, and you're good to go. And after your order, they'll ask you where you heard about Brunt, do us a favor and let them know that it was on this show.

On your 80. On your X? Holy shit. You know, that's insane. I didn't know there was $80,000 to lutes on it. Yeah, they're worth like $50,000 though. Yeah, they're worth nothing. You could have bought one of those, Ben. Could have, but you can't. What are you going to do with it? Yeah, it's just It's just another jelly bean. But, yo, Ken,

I wonder if with the way you run through cars and just swapping them and stuff, like if you had a girl, would you just be fucking like a couple months, get out of there? Like, you know, you just constantly, like, if he had, like,

serious relationships, would he just be, like, constantly running through him like that too? Ken's such a non-confrontational guy, too. He would avoid breaking up with him and he would just change the lock code. He'd just move out. They'd be like,

where'd you go? I'm in the ice house. Where's ice house doesn't respond? I haven't swapped cars in a couple years. Like I haven't, the only one I bought that Lincoln, but I haven't done anything since I bought my cyber truck.

It's true. Did you guys see my snap story of seeing J.D. Vance? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. The motorcade. Why don't they just fly? Can he just fly out of there? Can't you fly into Big Sky?

That was Big Sky. Yeah, but was he up in Big Sky? No, that was Bozeman. No, you can't fly in a Big Sky. Really? It's mountains. But in their helicopter and, Couldn't they figure out a way?

I don't know. Yeah, the helicopter, that's a good point. I just figured for like him, you can kind of, you can like literally do anything. I don't know if there is a helipad in Big Sky. Anyway, but you guys saw him? Pop that video up. Why do they need so many people? So let me explain this whole thing, right?

So I fly into Bozeman and I land in Bozeman and I'm sitting in the middle seat. It was like Ken book my flight. I'm sitting in the middle seat and I look out the window. And as we're on the tarmac, we drive by a plane. that just says United States of America. It's all white with the blue stripe down the middle. Was it a giant? Like was it a 747?

With the bubble on the top? It was probably a 7.57, I bet. Yeah, it was a little bit smaller than a 747. So how many Air Force ones is that? Well, I grab my, I start looking and I go, how many planes say United States of America with this paint scheme, right? And it just says two planes. Air Force one and Air Force two.

But it was like, you know, Air Force 2 is sometimes used by the vice president or other, you know, head of the house or whatever, right? So I was like, okay, well, somebody's here. And we land and they wouldn't let us go to the gate for an hour and a half. Shut up. Yeah. So that sucks. That sucks.

Yeah. So we sit there and I'm like, what is going on right now? And they weren't really telling us what was going on. They were just like, yeah, we're just waiting to get clearance to pull up to our gate. And so what I'm assuming is they were doing like security checks, probably. on the plan. They're doing background checks to everyone on the plane, just making sure some some hooligans aren't going to cause trouble. Oh yeah, it might have been the holdup. And so finally, they let us to our gate. At this point, I'm still not really sure what's going on or whose plane it was

for sure. And we get out, hop in the plane or hop in the car. And I start driving. And there's like six roundabouts in between like Bozeman and the airport. And at each roundabout, I start seeing like undercover unmarked sheriffs or state troopers stanced up at these roundabouts like looking the other way. And so I'm like, what is going on right now? So I see one roundabout. I see those. I start pointing out to Greta.

And she's like, well, they're probably just watching for like speeders or traffic, you know, violations. And I was like, no, it's not, they're looking for something else. And we keep going through these roundabouts and there's two cops set at every roundabout, right? and then we start pulling down this road. So I see like 15 cop cars in a like a two mile radius. And we get on this narrow little two lane road.

And I just see a cop turn at the end of the road with the lights on, another one with the lights on, another one with the lights on. So I pull over. And I was like, something's happening right now, Greta. I was like, start filming. Start filming. This is something. Somebody's coming.

Because I was telling her, I was like, I saw this plane. Yeah. Yeah. Like all these cop cars stands up looking the other way. Like they're not looking at traffic. And then we see this. And then Greta's filming the cars coming down. And there was probably like 10 cop cars that all had their lights on. And then probably another five to 10 suburbans that were all like unmarked suburbans tinted out. Kind of all looked the same. And then another like 10 cop cars after that with like an ambulance, military views. vehicle, you know, full armored truck. Holy crap. And so the whole time, I'm just like, holy shit, either the president or the vice president or Taylor Swift is in town. I was like, nobody's rolling around with a motorcade like this that isn't, you know,

super high up. So in Greta the whole time is just like, no, this is just a parade. I'm like, this is not a parade, Greta. And so I text Ken and I was like, can you figure out who's in town? And then Ken, of course, being the detective he is, goes, oh, it looks like, like J.D. Vance was in Yellowstone Club skiing with Mark Zuckerberg. Really? Was Zuckerberg too?

You think Zuckerberg gets to ride down or does he, he has a helicopter? Wait, so he was in Yellowstone Club? Yeah. Whoa. Yeah, it was pretty crazy. So I just sat on this little two-lane road and watched the motorcade drive by, which seems crazy still that they would not, you know, have us go an alternate route or... It's weird they wouldn't like completely shut that road down.

That's what I was thinking. It's weird if there was so many cops on all the roundabouts and everything, they were, like, doing that, that you were still able to drive up, like, literally right next to. I know, yeah. It is, it is a little bizarre. But, again, there was, like 10 unmarked suburbans. You know, they all look the exact same. You don't know which one.

So you don't know which one he's in. I think how crazy you'd be to roll with that type of. Everywhere, bro. I wonder what the last time he sat at a red light was. Probably before the election. That would be fucking sick, dude. I wonder what I got to do to not have to stop at red lights. Think how much time you could save.

Yeah, that's a good point. That might be the only perk of being in politics. Bro, those sucks so much having to roll around like that, though. It would suck. Anywhere you want to go, you got to roll like that. You couldn't drive. But think about it. You got to inform your head of security.

Hey, Mark Zuckerberg just invited me out to his house in Yellowstone in three weeks or two weeks or one week. Yeah. And they're like, okay, sounds good. We'll just shut down the whole town. Well, now we got to figure out how to get a bunch of, like, armored vehicles there and figure out how to shut down the town and do a full, like, security clearance. But that's not his problem.

That's the security guy's problem. No, I know, but, like, it is crazy. Bananas. You know what I wonder is, when he was skiing down the hill, did he have security guard skiing, like, around him? Yeah. Wow, so everyone's got to know how to ski.

Yeah. Imagine he's really good skiing. You're a security guy, like, oh, fuck. Trying to keep up. He's just hitting, like, double black diamonds, moguls. They're like, no, no, not the black diamond. He's like, that run's actually not secure yet.

We got to go down this run. This run's been swept. He's hitting like those big jumps where you come down and just stand up there. He's hitting a half pipe at the terrain park. Chances are if you're one of their secret service guys, you're equipped to do anything and everything. Yeah, I think a lot of them are like ex-seals and shit. Military or Marines. Yeah, like, I mean, if you're a Marine dude or a seal, obviously, you've got to go through a lot of training.

You got to be a certain type of person. And if you can do that, you can pretty much do anything. That's so true. Like, how many security people are there employed by the States? See how many it is? Like how many secret service agents there are? Let's just get that number. We'll go from there.

Well, the whole family of, like, everyone, like, Donald Trump's grandkids have to have their own security team that follows them. It's just a lot. I was listening to that on when Kai was talking about it. Yeah, old presidents have them too. True. The Secret Service has a staff of at least 8,000. Okay, so 8,000 people.

That's a but a ton of people. But think, then you've got to find ones that know how to ski to. Like, you got to be really good. You got to be able to ski and shoot a gun and keep up with whoever. Like, it's pretty impressive. Basically, James Bond shit. Yeah, exactly. You're out there with like the fake arm.

Great Secret Service guy. Yeah, so it was cool. Like, it's kind of like a once in a lifetime moment right there. We did that close to him. Yeah, just to like, I don't know, see the whole motorcade, see the plane sitting there. That's super cool. So, CJ, newfound love for knives, huh? Yeah.

What's been going on with that? Well, I know. I play with it all day long. Well, for one, we, I don't even know if we have any left, but we were selling like just, you know, pocket knives on our website. I think they're all gone. Like, it's a nice ass knife. Yeah.

Well, anyways, I've always had it in my. truck. Well, I actually, I give a lot of them away. I don't know why, but like, I'll meet somebody and like, people really appreciate it if you give them a nice knife. And I, it's a very nice gesture. I always have them in my car and like, I don't know. When I like meet a fan, like, I'm always like, I got to give them. A lot of people want my hat, but I'm not giving you my hat as I need that. Stets are rented to the rest of the day. I'm like, well, then I don't have a hat for us. I got stickers, whatever, you know. So anyways, I was at Shields and I saw this guy and I was looking at getting some, like I want to get some guns and stuff and a bow.

And I saw this, like, there's the knife section. I look, like, everything else is packed, right? Everything else, like the bows, there's plenty of people looking, the guns that all these people are looking. There's all these people. And I turn and look over. I see the knife section. It's just like this small little hut. Just glowing.

And there's just this one guy with the worker. And he's like, let me try this one. And then he'd like grab you. And like, he's like doing this. Like doing this shit with it. And then he'd be like give it back, hand it to him. He's like, nice. And then he'd grab another one.

Do the same thing. I just looked at it. I go, I need to get in the knives. I think I need to get into knives. He's flipping it out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know if you need that, dude. Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, well, then I was like, I need to get in knives. And then I remember we were selling knives when I started out with my starter knife, which I actually, that knife is super nice. That knife is super nice. Not saying anything, not can crap on shields, but they have nice knives.

too, but our knife is really nice. I realized that after looking at the others. And also I realize you can't have a switchblade in Minnesota. It's illegal. Can you have them in North Dakota? Yeah, you can in North Dakota. So like the guy was like, I can sell you this, but like if you get caught with this in Minnesota, like you could get in some big trouble. And I was like, well, man, I'm not going to.

Last fucking thing. And right around dirty with this knife. No reason. No reason. CJ gets pulled over. I just want to let you know. I have a. knife on me right now. If you had a switchblade, you'd be in trouble. Like, you literally just can't

have it. Let me show you a thing or two, Ben. You don't need a switchblade when you can do this. You don't need a switchblade when you can do that. You know, it's all on the flick of the wrist, baby. But our knife is nice. So anyways, yeah, I got into knives because literally just because I saw that guy doing his little flicking around and like he had some skills, dude. I don't know what he was going to use those skills on. Just because the gun section was busy. You know who also has a lot of skills with knives is our Lamborghini winner. Tim? Tim?

Tim. Tim's a knife guy? Yeah. Yeah. Well, he's a military guy. Yeah. Let me show you this video of him I saw. He can do that kind of stuff too.

And it's really funny. It's not funny, but it's just like funny. That's exactly what the knife guy wants to hear. He wants to hear that, yeah. Watch this guy. This is funny. What's that? Can I snap it?

Uh, sure. That's what the guy was doing at Shields It's a lot of knife for $1,500 Watch this again What in the fuck is he So hold on He was a $1,500 Knife

Yeah dude, knife started And he said that's a lot of knife for $1,500 Was that? Just off of that little bit of stuff he did He closed that thing He was hands up back A lot of knife for $1,500. It was funny as fuck.

Dude, I got to watch it. Just listen to the mannerism. So this is like an old video from Tim. He must have been working at like a shop that sells this kind of stuff. And you know, you have to grab it from like a lock case and like so the guy's like, can I open it? And he's like, yeah, yeah, sure, you can open it. And just listen to it. It's funny.

What's that? Can I snap it? Open a shirt. Just the movements. I got a knife for $59. So tell me now, does that not make you want to get into knives? No. So you're telling me, Ken, if you were in Shields walking down the aisle,

and you just happen to look off, glance over to the distance, and you saw a guy snapping a knife and doing stuff like that, you would not want to buy one for yourself? It makes me want to camp out of the knife section and just watch people. I think it'd be kind of funny. Listen, me. and my other knife guys guys that are into this kind of stuff

just a different different kind of breed you wouldn't want to fuck with this guy in a dark car I don't know what this guy does for work or what he used to do but he is ready for close quarter combat holy shit yeah he was shadow boxing with a knife

I gotta watch it just one more time like I could watch this shit all day bro bro he's got how many views this have this is 11.2 million views on Tim's as it shows As it should. It should. It's just, I love how he just looks at him. Can I snap it?

Oh, yeah, sure. You can snap it. What's that? Can I snap it? Uh, sure. Looks at it. I'm a knife for $59. So, yeah, I'm a knife guy now.

I just bought my, or I just got my permit to purchase, too. I didn't have that. Oh, yeah, dude. I'm stoked for that, actually. I got to go renew mine, and then we'll go get something. Yeah, no, I want to go get like a bunch of cool ones. Yeah, like most people don't have like, like, why not? Yeah, why not? And I'm going to have like a safe room and stuff. Yeah, I'll go redo it. I'll be a good little cousin bond. Yeah, you need permits. To buy knives? No, no, not knives. No, no, not knives. Oh, okay. I was just, I'm starting out with what I can get without permits.

Anyways, I'm thinking we'll get like a bunch of old cars and shit.

Like Jake Sherbrook, he's in it with me too. Like he's like ready. He's like, yeah, soon. as you get your thing like we'll go and get a bunch and but yeah we're like shooting some cars and stuff we won't be able to film it but it'll just be strictly for the love of the game but we got all this land and stuff and I think that's just something fun to do you're shame not to blow stuff up on it and like obviously it best bro like I got mine sitting over in my office shoot it once a year yeah good enough and I have like I have a couple

shotguns and stuff just like hunting stuff that I've been given from my grandpa but and obviously I've shot guns with Ben and just all lot of our friends have pistols and shit, but I just didn't have any for myself. And I just started thinking about it. It's like, I don't know. Just so, you know. Get a boy, you can. Yeah, that.

And a lot of people seem to know where I live. Like, I'm getting a good security system and shit rigged in. I feel like if you're going to be a dad and stuff, you got to have some ways to protect the house. Yep. And, you know, there's people that don't like me out there just for whatever. And people are crazy. Doesn't hurt to have.

Just as self-defense. And, yeah, no, I agree. Ken, you do not need one for everyone's safety. Like, you know, we'd be knocking on Ken's house. Like, hey, we gotta like get in. You wouldn't just be knocking on my house. You would, that would be bad for us, dude. Because then we have to consider that.

Like, every time. I hope we don't start on him too bad. And he might fucking pull a gun on us. You wouldn't be just knocking on my house. You'd be doing some bullshit. So does that mean that we deserve to get shot? I mean, depends what you're doing. It's true.

Ryan. You're right. I didn't. Are you, games win stupid prizes. And that is the truth. So, Ken,

I think it's just it's best for the safety of all. It wouldn't be knocking on my door. You'd be doing something ridiculous. And then it would be like, is this justified? Is this not? But Ken,

you know, what you always got to resort back to is I wouldn't have a door if they didn't fuck with me. You know what I'm saying? Like you got a nice ass door. It's true. Yeah. And not just that.

You know, you do a lot of other. stuff but it's just it's just part of the like just consider like maybe a small square of that door you know it didn't pay for the whole door but part of it lower eighth yeah maybe the doorknob I don't know some things at the house should not just not be

fucked with yeah like where's where's that line just so we know just the house just the house okay well that's not it's too big of a line that is let's be realistic here Ken just the house the house in general I will tell you this much that won't happen

well did you want to You want to pay for this house, Ken? I want to pay for the house once. I don't want to pay for the house twice. Maybe three times. But, you know, valid point. Ken, you know, living in my basement. Now I'm going to be moving into Ken's house once his house is done.

Really? Yeah. I'm going to get a renter. Ken did offer. Wow. You guys are just swapping around. And it's going to be nice, dude. I'm going to have a brand new house that I'm living in.

Ken, you really just don't want to live alone, do you? Well, I saw an opportunity. What are you charging him? That's to be determined. Hasn't been discussed. Hasn't been discussed yet. But it sounded like he's pretty committed. So, C.J.

I do not want to live. I'll do it for the culture. I don't want to live in his parents' house. I also do not want to live in my parents' house. Why don't you move into Ken's Ice House once he moves into his house? I think it's just a little too close to quarters. Yeah, that's a little too small. But there is going to be two bedrooms that are essentially going to be wide open.

Yeah. So we're starting a content house. Really? Yeah, Ken, Ken's content house. Ooh. It's got a nice ring to it. It's going to be a short run like most content houses, you know, but it'll go until my house is done and Ryan's is done. I got a renter potentially for a few months, so.

You guys are going to be like TikTok in? Probably. A little wiggle dick in. Probably. You guys should start streaming. Screw TikTok. You guys should start streaming. I love that.

No, 24, no, 24 hour live stream off your security cameras. You don't even acknowledge that they're there. If I had somebody that could just like set that shit up and run it, I would do it. But like, I just don't really want to go through the work of doing a 24 hour live stream. No, no, no, no, no, just setting up. Like, there's one thing streaming, but like getting the equipment, running the equipment, making sure everything. Like, you need a crew, you know. I think we got enough shit going on.

That's the thing. That's the thing. So it's just going to be a TikTok content house. Maybe, maybe venture to YouTube. We'll see how it starts off. We'll go Dalton there to film some of them. Damn, that's crazy. Yeah, I know.

You got a roommate again. I'm excited. It's going to be a new house I get to live in it. That is sick. No mold. No mold. The mold, which is good. So my house, we're remodeling it.

Tore out some cabinets. There was like some mold due to like a pipe that had leaked, you know, probably a spot this big. And then I was like, you know, I had knew that the basement had flooded prior to with the previous owner. So I was like, let's just be safe. Like, we're already ripping all this crap out. Let's just do the full. full cut, whatever. And yeah, I mean, it wasn't really that much mold.

But I think everyone around town thinks that literally my whole house was like walled a ceiling mold and like all these people like are like, yeah, I heard your whole houses. So it's like this rumor. I'm like, no, it was just a little bit. But we moved out because it's just like everything is getting demoed now. But I don't know why I said. Yeah, it's going to be good. But it's just like it needs to be rebuilt.

Like it's all being remodeled. The stuff that you didn't plan though? Yeah. I didn't plan on doing stuff. It went from a small remodel project to a large remodel project. I just do it all. Very quickly. Just do it all.

You know, CJ, we do have a bulldozer. If I wouldn't have done all my other shit prior, I would have bulldozed that motherfucking thing. I'm like, looking at you guys. You guys did it right, dude, building new houses. We should have a bulldozer into my house. Did we have it? Well, we did have it then.

We were going to. But you wanted to save part of your house. You were like, oh, I'm saving half of this. So if we hit it with the bulldozer at my house. might move it. I know. I wanted to chop that tree down and have it fall on your whole house. I know.

I want to do that too. But we did so much damage due to spaghetti that you had to tear the whole thing down anyways. I tore out all the bad vibes. I dug down 12 feet to get rid of all the bad juju. Good. Honestly. Yeah. Benny's injury.

It's all gone. We also happen to own an armored truck. True. Yeah. That thing's going through for sure. Yeah. We could rebuild your house. We still have my house.

We do. We do. Yeah. Yeah. I think your house is. For sure. I've got a couple really shitty rentals in town if we want to move into Fargo. So, Ben, when are you going to greenlight the demo in your place?

Ideally, before I get the tenant out of it. Otherwise, it might be a rude awakening. I mean, after. After. After. They're listening to us like, what? Yeah, right? No, I don't know.

Spenny's going to be the other roommate, I think, at Ken's. He's going to be more a long-term roommate with Ken. We're just going to get Spinnie down here. but the government is being painful to deal with. Well, if you do it legally, yeah, it's pretty tough. It is incredible. We're trying to do things the legal way with Spenny, and it is incredibly difficult just to get this visa approved.

It's crazy. You want to get someone in the country, give them a job, you know, gainful employment. They don't want it to happen. Who would have thought? So Spenny's going to live at your house? He's going to be, he's a good, like, housewife, man, man, what's called? Man of the house?

Yeah, no, no. He's the man of the house. Ken, the neighbor comes and knocks on the door, Ken answers. I'd like to speak to the man of the house. He's like, oh, go get, go get, Spenny. House. I don't know. House man.

No, but he is. He knows how to cook. He cleans? Is Spenny moving in with you, actually? I don't know. We'll see how long this visa takes. Did you tell him that he could? No.

Oh, I thought I heard he was. I mean, he moved into the shop right now. He wants to been drunk, Ken, because you were telling me, like, Spennie's moving into my house, and I still have an extra room. if you and Alex want to stay there. I must have been drunk then. You offered for us to stay there. Well, you guys have been saying how much, like,

oh, it's, I don't like staying at my parents' place. I want to move into somewhere else. And it's just like, well, just fucking move into my house. No, it's not that I don't like living at my parents' house. It's just like, it's very, it's just small. It's very, like, we're just on top of each other. I don't even have a closet. So I just have, like, a bunk bed with, like, seven outfits.

A bunk bed. You're actually on a bunk bed? No, that's where I put my stuff. It's like you walk into the room and then you're looking at the bunk bed. Well, CJ, you know, that's what happens when you make bad decisions and gamble away all your money. I'm not here because of that. But think of if he'd hit. But think if he'd hit.

Remember how this feels, CJ. I know. You said I'm either never going to stop gambling or I'm going to run out of money. The best thing, you know, one thing I have been doing is. just like making sure I put I tie my money up so that way I can't gamble it like I like when I get any kind of money or like you know I have my my gambling fund but a lot of the extra it is just in miscellaneous investments so I don't have to like you know I'm not going to sell my oh I do sell Bitcoin every now and then to buy some it depends what I'm gambling this is but you know yeah

speaking of gambling were you going to talk about Evan so we got a text last weekend and And Evan hit for $10,000. 10 fucking grand. 10,000. His red 18 has been. He was playing roulette and he won $10,000. And can we say what he was going to buy? I think you can.

He has always said this. If he wins $10,000 gambling, he's buying his girlfriend a set of new tits. And so he just sent us a group, text in the group chat. And he just said, Nikki's getting new tits, boys. and then he sent a screenshot of $10,000. Yeah. And we all, obviously, we celebrated for him, you know. And he said the whole bar is up in.

They're cheering and cheering. Yeah. Losing their minds right now. I'm sure his girlfriend was stoked. So I texted him the next day. Yeah. Oh, no. What happened?

He blew it already. And I said, uh, please tell me you still have all that money, Evan. Because we're all texting him. I'm like, bro. Oh, cash out. Cash out. Stop. Walk away.

And he didn't respond. Yeah. Yeah, he kept going. What does that tell you guys? He kept going. He fucked up, dude. My question is, and I'm not even a question, but I do want to just point something out. He had $200 on Red 18.

Imagine throwing $200 on a single number. That's crazy. That's a lot of cheddar. And he was doing it off his phone. Like, I mean, it's an impressive hit. But, yeah, I hope he pulled that out. Is it going to buy something that? I know that app is inconvenient.

Because you can only pull out a thousand bucks a day. So theoretically would take him 10 days. That's genius. To keep it in there. Yeah. But yeah, anyways, I hope he took it out. And I, you know, I'd love to see what he does with it with the money. So yeah, I guess once Evan's back, he should be back in a couple days here.

We'll get, you know, we'll sit him down and we'll see where he's, where he's at on this. The fact he didn't text you back is concerning. He might be working on getting it back. Now if he knows everybody's watching, he's got to get it back. The problem is when you're chasing like that never ends well. Yeah. You're just really not going to win when it comes to gambling. I would suggest not doing it.

Well, that's a good point. I mean, that's just my... The last hour and a half of you're really grown. Proudy, bud. Went from gambling on everything to... No, you shouldn't gamble at all. I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't. I'm just saying, like, if you're doing it to hopefully win and make money,

I wouldn't do it that way. But if you're doing it for fun, then... Then do it. That's my advice. I do it for fun. Did you guys see that Steve will do it is back on YouTube? Yeah, I did. Have you watched the vids?

No, dude. Did you see his one last night? Yeah. I made a fucking disc track on Mr. Beast, dude. What's his deal? He hates Mr. Beast? Yeah, so Steve will do it. He's a YouTuber.

He was part of the Nuck Boys. And then he was banned off of YouTube in what, 20, 23? 1, 23, 22. I don't know. A while, a while. And YouTube just, like, lifted the band from a lot of different creators, and he was one of them, apparently.

So he's back. But he is, uh, he's given away like 250 grand a video. Dude, just to like someone who comments. But also a ton of money in the video. Like they're just, I don't. So yeah, that's the thing about it, though, is like, back when he was making YouTube videos and he was giving away like 10 grand on the street and people were losing their minds.

And then he, you know, just progressively started giving away a little bit more and more and more and now he's giving away like 500 grand in a video. I'm like, how sustainable is this? He's definitely investing. Well, I mean, Mr. Beas is pulling incredibly more views and has way more of a business. And he's only given away like a million dollars, not only, but like his video last night. I thought it was weird. Mr. Beast dropped a video and Steve dropped one talking shit on him that same day.

But I watched both of them and they were both good. But yeah, Mr. Bees only, not only, but he gave away a million dollars in. his competition or whatever. And, uh, I mean, $1 million? Mr. Beasts like production company. Yeah, but I mean, Mr. Beast's like production company is worth like a billion. I mean, he's got an insane media empire.

He's got all these channels. He's pulling like ridiculous, ridiculous views where like you can, you can a three billion. He's got sponsors. He's got all this stuff like. Oh, he's doing it because it makes sense. Yeah, you could see how it makes sense. But yeah, I agree where like when I'm watching Steve, I'm like,

Like he's got to be running really lean. He's got to be running really lean, if not negative. I mean, I mean, more negative. I mean, he's got to be running negative just to push the videos to start with. And then you got to assume he's going to drop it off or, you know, transition into something else. But I don't know, man. Either way, it's entertaining. That's for sure.

I will say the convict kitchen was a great idea. If the execution was like pretty decent, but like that idea was fucking funny. I can't believe nobody's thought of that before and done. That was good, yeah. Did you watch that? I started. I stopped. Kind of lost me on that.

Yeah, but I mean, like, think of a. Yeah, more entertained just watching him just walk around and live his life. I agree with that. But, like, I don't think he's the best host for it. But, I mean, think if, you know, the food network started a convict kitchen. Like, it 100% could work. They'd have a sob story, but a thing. Yeah, it's probably too edgy.

Yeah, I think there's something about being pretty, pretty savage with it. Which made me think, Someone should bring back the cash cap in Uber's and do it on YouTube. Remember that show? That'd be really good idea. Yeah. Someone should bring back the cash cap. You should do that, Ryan.

I know. I don't know. Let's do it. Let's do it. I mean, sure, we just got to outfit a car with lights. That's a good idea. The problem is, here's the problem. Did anyone like watching Cash Cap?

Like, it's a good question. I can't say I've ever watched it. Everyone knows what it was, but who actually liked watching that show? I think the only people that actually liked that show were the participants. Like, that's the only ones. I mean, I'm sure it was a fairly large show on a big network. Yeah, Ken, I'm sure a couple people probably liked it. The participants.

You know the craziest part, though, about Steve's video, his last one, was like hanging with 6'9 before he goes to jail and they're live streaming it. I mean, that was A plus content. Like, it was just like, you can't not watch that. It's just like, what the, the whole thing was so ridiculous. And I think that's what Steve, in my opinion, for his content, I think that kind of stuff is the best stuff he can do. Like, when he keeps giving away money, like, yeah, it's cool and, like,

it's nice to the people that he's given to, but I'm not like, this is the most entertaining part. It's like those kind of parts, you know, it's like hanging with 6'9, who is, he looks ridiculous from the start. And he is obviously ridiculous. And it's just like everything is. And they're bringing him to prison. Yeah, they're dropping him off at prison and they're filming it.

And he cut his ankle on. It's insane. Like, who, I agree. That was my favorite part. You would never see this kind of stuff. And yeah, I don't know.

It's cool, though. I know a lot of people don't like 6-9. He's done a lot of things to justify not liking him, but I kind of like 6-9. He's pretty funny. He's really funny. He's really funny.

He's super entertaining. I like him. I'm not even going to say I kind of like him. I think he's, I like him. He's fun to watch. He's definitely had a comeback. He definitely has had a comeback.

How long is he in jail for now? Three months. He'll bounce back. Oh, he's just fine. I mean, three months is a long time. I'm not trying to go anywhere for three months, but... The people that he's going to be in jail with... The roster's insane.

Yeah, it's been dropped off with... The Luigi guy, the CEO shooter. Yep. Monduro. Dutti. Diddy. Was it Diddy? Diddy's in that same prison.

Jiswell, Maxwell. I can't say any of the names, right? Galane Maxwell. Galane Maxwell. What fucking prison is? this. It's a Brooklyn like detention center. It's like, I don't know why he's getting dropped there

or why he's getting there. Maybe because he's high profile or something, but yeah, like a bunch of like very notorious criminals are in that same spot. I don't know if they'll like really rub elbows. He was with Sam Bankman Fried. Oh yeah. He's there too. He was cellmates

with SBF. That is legitimately just. I think, yeah, he said that he was. He's not fucking cellmates. They don't have cellmates when you're that guy. I don't think. I don't know. Here it is. Here's the list.

Read through this, Ryan. You can read better in me. Nicholas Maduro, Luigi Magnoni. Did he? R. Kelly? Yeah, R. Kelly. What did he do? A lot of bad shit.

El Chapo's in there? Michael Cohen. Al Sharpton. What did R. Kelly do you just say, kid? He was peeing on children. I think he's doing a lot. I mean, that was bad. He's done a lot worse shit, too.

I don't even know. I don't like watching their, like, fall on that guy. So it was just. Gross. The hell did Al Sharpton do. Hall of the roster. Dude, people. The internet is crazy.

You guys know that El Chapo escaped his original prison? I don't know where he was, but his cartel dug a two-mile tunnel to the bottom of his prison cell and then into his shower in the prison cell, broke through the floor, so he, like, dipped out from behind this little wall that was in between like the security camera and the hole in the floor,

went into the floor, crawled down a ladder, hopped on a motorcycle, and then rode this motorcycle two miles through this tunnel to an abandoned house and then escaped. That's fucking crazy. Yeah, and then was later found, obviously. He's locked up again.

I can't believe they even had a little motorcycle. I mean, I guess two miles is a long way, but you'd think in your escape from jail, you would have to probably just run it in the tunnel. but that had to be a huge tunnel to fit a motorcycle. It's not like it was like a... That's what they're known for though. Like that cartel is known for digging tunnels.

Diging tunnels. Oh, they were the tunnel cartel? That's fucking crazy actually. How do you dig underneath something and then no, I suppose obviously you have your, you can look at maps or your current location or something, something better than that. But that's pretty impressive to dig up there.

To the exact location of it, yeah. You guys probably haven't seen it, but they did that on Viva, Bamb. They dug a hole under... The house up into Don Vito's room. Pretty funny. That is pretty funny. I was watching, they took jackass off of Paramount or whatever because they said that it wasn't being shown how they like filmed it.

They must be like censored stuff. And so there was only like a little thing that was like from Johnny Knoxville was like we're in agreeance with Paramount. Like we're taking it off until the episodes are shown how I want them to be shown. So on the flight I watched Wild Boys instead. There's a really random concept for a show. It's like more of a B-class spinoff. Yeah, it wasn't that good. Speaking of Jackass, they have something new dropping June 26.

Shut up? They're coming back with some. I don't know if it's a spinoff. I don't know if it's another movie. Is it a movie? I doubt it's a movie, but I mean, they just posted it last night. So it's funny you brought that up. And, uh, yeah, I was curious like, is, uh, Bamar Jarrag gonna be back in it.

But let me just pull it up right here. Wow, the return of Jack. When was the last time they did? made their movie. When was their last movie? It was like 21, maybe it dropped. Or 22. Yeah, June 26. Jackass is back this summer. It just says. We got Jackass back

before GTA 6. It's insane. Yeah, you got to wonder. Also, last thing I'll say on Jackass, Steve O won Mr. Beast's thing. What? Yeah. So that was the whole other Yeah, so I watched it. I don't watch all Mr. Bees videos. No, he won a million dollars to donate to his charity of choice. But, but yeah, it was pretty cool.

had all these celebrities and Steveo was a part of it. And I was kind of thinking at the start, I was like, honestly, like, if anyone's going to win this, I could see Steveo because, like, his whole thing is doing hard shit that really no one else wants to do. So he's got a lot of an edge on all these other people. Yeah, that's true. You know?

22 is when Jackass Forever came out. So it's been five, four years. Yeah. Those, those flicks just don't age, man. They're just good. Classics. Classics, man. I think number two and three are my favorite, though.

It's forever green content. Yeah. Dude, for real. Well, boys, I'm going to go home and watch Jackass. Are you? Yeah, I think so. Ken's going to go set up as a fish house. You're going to finish cleaning,

and then maybe we'll pull it on the lake tonight. Oh, I'd like, you sure you want to do that at night, though? If you go on the water at night. Well, we'll see how late it gets, but get it all done. We'll go do it first thing tomorrow. We should go cold plunge. You guys want to go cold plunge? No.

No. No. You can. That's called Jake. I'll probably in there right now. Just sitting in the lake. Sitting in the lake. I'm going old-fashioned now that I don't have my cold plunge

Oh you don't that's right I don't know if going into a cold plunge would help my You're kind of like it wouldn't help you It wouldn't help you Grip a sauna Oh I've been doing that All right boys Good stuff

2026 we're back Let's go We'll see you next week Let's run it big year Peace Peace
