All right, guys, welcome back to the podcast, the Life Wide Open podcast.
Thank you guys for listening and subscribing if you have not yet already.
Well
So we just jump right into it
I suppose so
Ben you messed up this weekend
Yeah
Bad
Yeah big time
Why don't you just take your glasses off Ken
This is I
Can't
I can barely see
Honestly
Can we get a tight shot in on his eye
So anyway
We could get a tight shot in on his eyeball
Usually when Ken is injured
It's funny
Because it's self-inflicted
Not
No offense Ken
But usually when you hurt yourself
it's for the humor of something we're doing and it's funny right you know you know you're not wrong
there yeah thank you it usually is something yeah it would be funny or like when you hopped on the
dirt bike and you ran into the tree usually i'm in tried kicking the ceiling in a bar and you gave yourself
a black eye usually i'm in control as as little control i have but at least i am the one
doing it right yeah so if uh i believe this is out after the video um but in last night's video
you'll see me pick up an ice cream cake.
It was Ken's birthday.
It was Ken's birthday.
We were celebrating.
I pick up an ice cream cake.
Two lit candles, a giant six and a giant nine.
And I just wasn't thinking.
I went to cake Ken.
I lean in to blow the candles out.
You go the opposite direction of the cake.
Candle to the eye.
Ken immediately, like, drops down, grabs his face.
I thought I broke his nose because it was, it was an ice cream cake.
So either way, it would have hurt.
I didn't think about that.
I didn't think about the candles.
And now Ken has a burnt eyelid and a couple different burns on the actual eye itself.
Dude, I've been talking about this.
Ken's birthday parties are legendary.
You did say this prior.
You said it was going to be legendary.
And now Ken's going to the hospitals.
Parties are so crazy.
God damn, dude.
He really stepped it up this year.
He goes hard on his birthday.
You know, it would have been fine if you just want to, you know, if I could have just blown the cake out.
We could have enjoyed some nice old DQ ice cream cake.
That was one of those dumb things, though, that, like, you can't even, I mean,
you can definitely be mad at Ben, for sure.
But, like, it's not like, you know, something that was actually dangerous.
It's one of those, like, fluke things where the candle just goes in your eye.
It was a flu.
And then I got covered in candle wax, and I spent two hours digging candle axe out of my eye.
On the actual eyeball, that's where it's bad.
That's where it's, like, not funny now, you know?
And now I can't really see out of it that well.
Hopefully that recovers just fine.
You still haven't gone to the eye doctor yet.
So they could just be like up.
Walk in clinic referred me and then I go on Thursday.
Hopefully they're just like, oh, it'll heal up in a week.
Obviously, that's what I'm hoping.
But there's nothing worse than someone getting hurt at your expense.
And like not trying to make, obviously I was completely in the wrong.
But like, it's all fun.
when you play with fire you're going to get burnt one of those things and i feel like it's just
the worst when uh you know even if you hurt yourself doing something like you're to blame but
when you hurt somebody else like there's nothing worse than that god damn it and now every single
time i look at ken it's just like constant reminding he looks so sad too this is honestly like
the worst pain i've been in in probably ever that is it's just like a searing like stinging pain
right in my eyeball and it's like like oh i can just wipe it to get rid of it like can you get
got something on your eye but it's like no it's just there it's pretty bad it's pretty bad i'm not
gonna lie at first i thought ken was being dramatic and then like i could tell he was actually
really mad but then the next morning he comes walking up the stairs and i see his eye and i was just
like jaw dropped like i was like dude i think the first thing i said i was like you need to go in
Yeah, and that's, I texted Alex right before that.
I was like, hey, can you guys, are you planning on leaving soon?
Can you bring me to the hospital?
I think you get to my car at the very least.
Well, we want to finish this movie real quick.
So I think, Ken, you now have started like a new, I guess, PSA about the dangers of
cake smashing someone with burning candles.
Or at least blow them out and let the wax cool.
Or just take the candles out of the cake, maybe.
Yeah.
I thought the funniest part was, I mean, the only, the thing that was funny is your Instagram story, Ken.
It was basically, Ken, like, I hope this can all be a lesson.
I hope this can be a lesson for everyone in that you shouldn't throw birthday cakes with burning candles at someone's face.
It's like an obvious sub-tweet.
Like, you should have just tagged me instead of saying, I hope this is a lesson for everyone.
You should have just tagged me and just said, at Benrod.
He didn't want to give you the clout.
I mean, smashing a cake into someone's face really isn't that uncommon.
I would have done it.
So my dad was like, well, that's what happens.
When you get drunk, you make stupid decisions.
And I was like, honestly, I would have done it sober.
Yeah.
I feel like that was something.
I mean, it just wasn't thought out about the candles.
If there was no candles, everything would have been fine.
Right.
But was this partially inspired by, you know, we had gone a jackass the night before?
So you were just like, I want to hurt Ken in a really.
really bad way
like did that fuel you
did it no I definitely didn't go into it with
those intentions are you sure
I think it like sublimity gave you some messages
I feel like at dinner you whispered to me
and you said I really want to hurt Ken tonight
you said that you did say I think I said that
you did get up on a chair and yell at everyone in the restaurant
buy this guy's oh okay all right but you skip the first part of it
and that's that I told everyone to sing you happy birthday
twice i had three i had the whole bar seeing happy birthday three times i think we sing three different
locations way too many times at least um but so anyways was that partially inspired by jackass
i feel like you would have done it regardless i would have done it regardless maybe it was subconscious
but yeah so we went to jackass i don't know if you guys have seen the new jackass movie yet but we went
to it as a crew wow so funny unbelievable i thought it was really good yeah stunts that they do are just
like you can tell that they took a 10 year hiatus and they thought of certain things for 10
years straight and they were just like all right we're going to come back and be insanely reckless
and do the dumbest shit like when people are like oh so you guys make videos like jackass after
watching that i was like no no no not even close we're not even trying to be like them no no it's
like i do admire what they do dude it's incredible especially when you know the outcome is
going to be so, so, so painful.
There's not a chance that it goes right.
So, like, when Nitro Circus was making videos and doing crazy things and the movies and
everything, everything that they would do, like, all the stunts, had a chance.
There was, like, you know, 70% chance that you would land it.
All the stunts that you do in Jackass, none.
If they land it, they cut it.
I guarantee they had, like, certain stunts that went right, and they were just like,
well, let's just cut that one.
Yeah.
They're literally built to fail.
So I have a different view on it.
I'm like a huge, like I love Jackass.
I grew up watching it.
Always thought, like those guys were like kind of my idols growing up.
Like Bamar Jarra, Viva Labam, Robin Big.
Like the skateboard, I was like a skater kid.
And I loved watching like the MTV reality shows there were that would be like them basically just fucking around doing dangerous stuff and playing pranks and stuff on their friends.
which like kind of integrated into like I'd say our channel is is similar to that in a way I mean it's not like jackass where we're trying to hurt ourselves but yeah but it's like you know it's it's kind of all relatively in the same group I had watched like the first couple of jackasses the week prior because like I'd go home and I knew we were going to go watch that one so I was like I'm going to just watch them I haven't watched them in a long time and like I thought they were all really good and I even thought this one was really good but I don't remember being as well as
wowed watching them in my age now.
I was like, damn, like, that looked like it fucking hurt.
Like, that, that was bad.
I wouldn't want to do that for, like, pretty much all the stuff.
But I wasn't, like, necessarily amazed by, like, the ingenuity of it, if that makes sense.
And the reason why I think so is because nowadays, it's like you see shit like that every week.
Like, you see that stuff all the time.
Whether it's on YouTube or not, you can just go on your Instagram explore page.
And my explore page is just funny stuff like that happening, whether they were trying
to do that to themselves or it was an accident or whatever.
So, like, it was, I felt like that movie was kind of like the same thing is scrolling
through my Instagram Explorer page.
I haven't thought of that.
You know?
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, there's so many people these days that just want to be famous and they're willing
to do anything to be famous.
I mean, I just personally, I really appreciate, like, the ones where.
There's a lot of thought put into, like, that so-called bit, you know?
Do you think that's you not being 16 and just being amazed by someone willing to take a punch to the nuts?
Probably. Maybe I'm getting older. Maybe I'm getting older. I thought it was all funny. I'm just saying, like, you know, if they hadn't, if they hadn't already built up their legacy, so rewind.
And when Jackass 1 was released, when the show Jackass, it started off as a show was like happening and then they went to the movies back then, even during like Jackass 3, like these type of videos, like you couldn't, you didn't have access to seeing stuff like this back then. You really couldn't find it everywhere like you can now.
That's true.
You could if you looked for, but it was not much stuff out there.
And nowadays, I feel like it was.
It was all, I mean, not all of it, and I loved it.
I really like those guys, and obviously the reason why it's super good is because of
the characters that are doing it.
But I mean, like, most of that stuff I felt like, I don't know, I just wasn't that
amazed by it.
And I think it's because it's all access to all your fingertips nowadays.
Well, it's even like with X games.
People are like, yeah, X games isn't as big because you watch everybody do tricks right
as they come out and you're so flooded with like, like I follow Instagram, an Instagram account
called kids getting hurt and then there's another one that is adults getting hurt and it's like
people bailing off of big BMX tricks and stuff like that all the time you can see it every day
every minute if you want you go watch something new i feel like but they had good i actually really
liked when they did more creative things like when they were a little more like you were mentioning
i'm trying to think more thought put into it like the vomitron at the end was pretty funny yeah
when they had just all the stuff coming together and the opening bit yeah but honestly
generally the whole movie I was just
shocked. I think I
sat there like this. Dude
Alonra's face was like that. We brought Ryan's girlfriend
with. She was just like, and then
she'd occasionally laugh and she just go, oh my
god. Oh my gosh. I feel
like I was in shock
most of the movie. Honestly. You forget
halfway through the movie that those are like
real people. Real people
that don't need to be doing it. They're
like so successful. They have
so much money. They do not need
to be doing it, but they still are.
that that's like half the entertainment to me and i'm not trying to discredit like i freaking
thought it was amazing i i loved it i would go watch it again i even pay to go watch it again
i'm big fan of all the people that are part of it but i just like don't remember the same
excitement uh that i got out of it as when i was younger watching all those movies for the
first time so back when me and cj were kids the very me and cj had a friend matt
Maybe one day we'll go into the history of Matt.
He's, to this day, but out of the craziest motherfuckers, I know.
Matt, he was like our stuntman.
He was, uh, yeah, he was dangerous.
And, like, Jackass was a big part of our entertainment in lives back then, right?
Because there wasn't really, like, YouTubers or anything like that.
So it was just, like, those kind of movies that we, like, would watch and be, uh, influenced by.
Yeah.
So back when, uh, let's see, dude, I was probably,
probably what, 10, you were 13, maybe.
You had one of those little flip, flip cameras.
Yeah.
So we were always setting up these jumps, like the plastic ramps,
and seeing if we could get Matt to jump over things.
Well, we would all do them.
Right, we would all do them, but Matt always wanted to just push it to the limit.
He wanted to be the one to do it a little bit better.
Like, he wanted to jump a little bit further,
but it was always really hard for him because it just seemed like,
if he ever went like a little bit bigger,
we would just fall right up after him and like land it right after him yeah no matter what it was on it
it was dirt bikes scooter freaking tubing i don't know you know just like doing stuff like that yeah so
there is this tree next to my house this was how he was going to one up us doing a stunt that he knew
we would not try to replicate after him yeah okay that's a great way to put it so there's this tree
next to my house that had a swing hanging out or uh swing hanging off one of the branches and this
um this swing was i don't know probably three
three feet off the ground, like the butt part of it, maybe two and a half feet off the ground.
Swing height.
Yeah.
So we had a plastic ramp in a good run-up, and then I was holding one side, and C.J.'s
Little brother, who was probably like six at the time, was holding the other one, just wide enough
so Matt could jump his bike through the swing, and the handlebars would not get caught on the rope, right?
Makes sense.
So, yeah.
So Matt gets a good run-up, and this is the first try.
CJ standing there with his flip camera shooting like 720p if that I think it was like 420
yeah and he uh and Matt gets a big run up and he jumps and he perfectly clears this swing
and lands and rides away and you can see like on our faces we were like we cheered him on wow that
was crazy you should do it again because you were like there's no way he can do this twice it was
amazing it was amazing like it was just such a slim jump yeah so
he was like all right i'll do it again goes around the house comes back gets even more speed this time
but he didn't pick his back end up like as much when he was going through the swing so his back
and catches the like the seat part of the swing and the swing goes up with him and he's stuck
now in this swing and then this swing comes back down and like lets him go out the bottom and
just pile drives him into the ground it was so funny
And it was, it was like the very first stunt, I think, ever recorded.
So, CJ's, like, laughing.
You can hear me in the background dying.
And Matt's on the ground going, uh, uh, uh, didn't get the wind knocked out of him?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
Matt was the star of a couple of YouTube videos back before we were YouTube.
We, because we had the bottle rocket to the face.
Yeah, true.
Like, see, if someone had burnt an eye in that, I would have been like, well, yeah.
Well, he wore goggles.
He was prepared.
And then we had the Pogo stick
The Pogo Stick. The Pogo Stick. The Bottle Rocket to the face is still on YouTube.
I think I saw it was taken off.
Oh, was it? I took it down. But we can just double it up over this.
Matt. Matt thought he would go viral if we shot him in the face of the bottle rocket.
I don't know what his plan was, honestly.
Yeah, did he ever even care about like? I don't know what his plan was.
I think he just was trying to be.
The guy.
He did dangerous stunts.
It was like back then it was all about just like,
I feel like when you're younger, you care more about, like, going bigger than other people and, like, proving your, like, toughness.
I don't know.
Just, like, doing stuff like that was something that was just a part of our lives.
Man, he did just so many entertaining things.
I would love to have Matt on the podcast one day.
He's just only gotten more entertaining.
I got to get out from behind these lights.
Okay, you're good.
See you, Steve.
Steve?
I want to hop in one Steve to another.
Come on, dude, are you guys going to build a tell CJ and I apart here?
Yeah?
Yeah, one of you is wearing a sweatshirt.
Yeah.
Sorry, I'm dealing with this cyber quad.
Yeah, he said he'll sell it to us.
He still got it?
I said I could come get it tomorrow.
Then we maybe should have came in cheaper then.
Fuck.
Whatever.
Oh, well.
I didn't even know, like, that those were for sale at all.
That's cool, dude.
cool it'll look real good in the back of ken cyber truck yeah yes it will people ask about the cyber
truck so much at least dude i i see a comment on it at least like every couple days dude no offense
to those people but like are you dumb get a clue right the cyber truck hasn't came out yet so when
they go who whatever happened to ken getting the cyber truck well he would get it but it's not
released yet the only one who has one is freaking jo rogan and elon they're like the
oh rogan has one yeah he went to the plant and toured it and you guys see that but
But that's it.
I think he just got to take pictures of it.
Yeah, no, he doesn't have one.
No.
You're the only person who's seen it.
They're not even out on the road rolling around.
People just, I don't know.
I love that people think that, out of all the people in the world,
Ken is going to be the first person to get one on social media.
Is he and Elon talk every day?
Speaking of Joe Rogan, you guys see he's getting canceled, trying to get canceled.
By the mainstream, it's like he's his own form of media.
And then the mainstream media is like, I don't know.
It's just like the left.
it's not good. It's because if Joe Rogan didn't have any opposing views to the mainstream
media, they wouldn't try and cancel him. Yeah. Joe Rogan pulls like, I don't know,
12 million views on average a podcast. And I think CNN and all these like other media outlets
pull like one million, two million maybe. And so it's like, yeah, obviously they're probably
pretty upset with it and
they're just going after him
for everything now
they're not upset about his views
no no it's not no it's not it's well it was
initially the thing because they
you know he had on some controversial
guest um that didn't
fall into the same agenda that
all these mainstream media outlets
were trying to push and then
now they're trying to say he's racist
because they pulled out
videos of him saying the N word and
and he made an apology on it and he talks about how all of them were like pulled out of context
and how he would never like be racist or trying try and use it in like a in a derogatory way
negative context way but i mean obviously anybody who wants a reason because they didn't like
what he had to say about that's the or anything like that they're going to use that against him
but so i mean basically what is he is not um pushing you know or conforming
to their agenda that they're trying to push, you know, basically about, let's say,
right now.
So now, since, like, you know, them pulling off Spotify isn't change anything, these, like,
leftists, I don't know what you'd want to call them, but they go and dig up all this stuff
on the person that they don't like to basically try to derail them or cancel them from that,
just because they don't like really what he is.
is you know saying well more than yeah more than what it's like a smoke screen sorry it's like a
smoke screen more than what he's they they're saying that he's spreading misinformation because
they don't agree with his information so they're saying it's misinformation I thought it was
really interesting when he was like listen everything that was accepted as fact six months ago
was is now like not true there's so many things that are not true and he's like things
are always changing. I'm just bringing on people
who are literal experts in their field
and this is what they
have researched at the time. Yep, right.
But he has, he has the left, he has
the right, he has all these different
guests, but they just don't like
that he's saying something
that goes against what they're saying. What they want, you know,
exactly, yeah. But I just think it's
bullshit that then they pull out
all this racist card
because of that. That's when they dig up
all this stuff and start, it's not
They're trying to derailing him on a whole different thing
just because of they don't like what he's saying about something else.
You know, it's interesting, though,
whoever dug those clips up had to have listened to hundreds and hundreds of hours of Joe Rogan podcast.
I was thinking about how they did that.
How do you listen to that and then still go, no, this guy's racist?
I wonder if there's like a way they can like search through it.
I think the saddest part of it is that like that's,
their job. I bet there's people at CNN, let's say, that their literal job is to go,
hey, here's your guy, dig up dirt. We got to, we got to have something. But I was watching,
like, I mean, you can't, again, go completely one-sided on. Oh, they're trying to cancel
Joe Rogan. So, like, I'm watching this stuff on Reddit. And I, like, see how they compare.
He had this guy on that was talking about it in Italy. Like, this is, like, two years ago before
it even happened. And how he was, like, genuinely concerned. And now he's had like a whole bunch
of other people on and his view kind of opposes like this is joe rogans kind of opposes what his
own view was two years ago but at the same time it's like he's talked to a bunch of smart people
from now and then so yeah he could be a little brainwash but i think most of it's just knowledge
coming in i don't know man i just am sick of cancel culture and i think eventually it's just
going to come around to bite everything in the butt you know yeah i think so i read this post by
david guggins actually i should i should pull it up well you
you pull that up um rumble offered joe rogan a hundred million dollars to go exclusive on their
platform the audio platform i don't know exactly what it is but it's kind of like the same
spotify deal that he got before but like they don't do any kind of like censorship or anything like
that right who the hell is rumble where did they get a hundred million dollars i don't know
but if joe rogan went over to them i'm pretty sure everyone would then know who rumble is
Listen, Joe, you want to do a Life Wide Open podcast exclusive.
You come here.
You just post all your stuff.
You got 100,000 subscribers you can start out with.
We'll pay you $200 million.
That's the new high right now.
He honestly would probably make that, though, after like a certain amount of years.
Yeah, true.
With his sponsors and all that, but I suppose he wants to pocket that.
All right.
So David Goggin said, like, a bunch of stuff, basically.
Who's David Goggin?
He's like an author.
He's like, he was a Marine.
He's just like this crazy, not.
crazy but he's like a very fanatical like work hard um he's super into working out and just like
inspiring inspiring his best self and inspiring other people to do better than what they currently
are doing but basically he like said he's jo rogan's friend he doesn't think he should have said
the n-word and all that but like he doesn't think he's racist or he says he's not racist all that
he says this whole spiel saying that he's met a lot of racist in his life but he knows for a fact
Rogan is not a racist and he mentions in it about canceled culture we are slowly being walked down a
path where we lose our voice we don't all need to agree with one another but we have to respect the fact
that people should be able to say whatever the fuck they want to say otherwise known as freedom of
speech whether you listen or not should be your choice i remain completely independent with no
sponsors or partnerships so i don't have to have an issue with this um what the hidden message here to
me is the fact that people in positions of power don't believe we are smart enough to be able
to hear different opinions or capable of making our own decisions.
I'd have to read the whole thing in so long.
I think it's just tough because people are figuring it out with the internet.
You never before was someone able to just project their voice.
Like it was like, you know, like in the old days when people would stand on soapboxes and they'd be
like, I got it's fucking crazy.
Like now you have a soapbox that you can project.
anywhere yeah and then eventually there'll be enough people that will listen to you and go well
maybe that guy's not so crazy and so i think that now with the internet and stuff like that
there'll be like a time of people figuring out how they can i don't know right and even it then
this isn't even canceling but it's just like so you get a big enough following aka entertainers
influencers whatever so you get a big enough following and you're speaking and then all of a sudden
and here comes a sponsor like that guy.
He just said, I don't do sponsors
because I don't want to have to deal with people
telling me what I can and can't say.
A lot of times that's pretty hard
when that sponsor has endless amounts of money to give you.
To make you do what you want.
And sometimes people say no
and sometimes people say yes to that.
Then your audience of, let's say, a million people,
in their hopes of tainting them,
they're like, sweet, we're paying them enough money
to make them say what we want.
Yeah, that's, that's,
It's like part of cancel culture, but it has nothing to do with it.
Well, shout out to Spotify for not just canning Joe immediately.
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
Oh, dude.
I know that's right.
All these, like, musicians pulling their music up.
I don't understand what they're doing.
What their plan is, dude.
Like, they're just, like, they're only pushing for a world of, like, less free speech.
Especially, what's that one guy's name?
The Neil Young.
Because isn't one of his songs?
Like, one of his most famous songs is like rocking in the USA or something like that.
Hold on.
Let me just double check this here.
Okay, so Neil Young, one of his most famous songs is rocking in the free world.
So you think he would be in favor of free speech?
Wow, the irony.
Yeah, exactly.
And then instead, him, like, pulling this shenanigans where he's not going to have his music on Spotify anymore
because he doesn't like what Joe Rogan is saying, which is free speech.
how ironic is that is how ironic
so funny enough i've uh elan musk's tweet notifications on because i used to invest in bitcoin and stuff
and you could pretty much track no still do uh but you could pretty much track what it was
going to do based on what he said and he just tweeted why is the traditional media such
a relentless hate stream real question probably because it sells yeah it does sell the human
brain is more attracted to negative than positive yeah really yep that's true
There's sex cells and hate cells.
Like you get, when someone's like talking about something that's like bad about somebody,
you're way more intrigued than somebody talking about something good.
Yeah.
Or, I mean, just a YouTube video.
So and so stole this or that people love to see that, you know?
Or I got in trouble for this.
From like an entertainment standpoint all the way to you.
Like if someone is like that you don't know, let's say it's not your friend.
And they're just like, they, yeah, you see that.
they got their car stolen and you're like damn that's crazy and you kind of like maybe read about it
and you're like at least i didn't get my car stolen their mishap makes you feel like you're sitting
in a pretty good place but if someone is like yo i just won this car and you're just like damn
dude that'd be sick to win a car i never win anything you can kind of gravitate towards
other people's mishaps to make you feel better for no good reason ever thought about that way
when you read something bad about someone else,
you're like...
Subconsciously...
In a better place than them.
I don't feel that way.
I just try to avoid any kind of negative.
Pretty much at all costs.
You literally won't even listen to sad songs.
No, I won't.
I won't listen to like sad songs like Juice World.
I think he's really...
It's got some catchy tunes, but they're all sad.
Depressed and nasty.
Yeah.
It just makes you sad.
Yeah, especially if you're in a sad state of mind.
Anything like that will just bring you...
Or you could be in a happy state.
of mind and then you start listening to those songs and you like start trying to feel bad for yourself
you know that's why i just don't mess with it um today we sat down and like basically planned out
you know a couple video ideas for the future and one of our ideas was an RV trip
i'm so stoked about this i mean we basically we're just like we want to do an RV trip and we want
to do it in march sometime but uh we haven't mapped it out i mean yeah it was just the idea got
planted and then we're like this would be fun i think that'd be so fun because basically how it started
was we were like what's something i guess i asked everyone i said like what's a video idea that
just forget about if you think it would get a lot of views forget about if it would have a good
thumbnail forget about cost what's something you would want to do like just have passion for like
you think would be really fun and would be excited to go do i think one you said an rv trip and i was
like that's right we've been talking about that so which wasn't my necessarily idea but it's just
like the boys a real road trip we've done a way across like america so many road trips
in a in a truck and they're all awesome but i'm talking RV like multiple stops and like just
stop wherever you want messing around the whole time almost like no plan but to just go and have fun
you're going and whatever comes our way comes our way and that's cool i like a very
video on it. I mean, a bunch of people do that.
It'd be like a two-part video. For sure. I mean, I think we'd be at least gone for over a week.
But I always see, like, buttery do that. He's got his motor van. But like, at least him and
Medium Boy load up in it, but a lot of times a few other guys. And they, you know,
they're like, all right, this, we're just going to string up along the coast all the way to
Washington over in Montana and back down.
Well, that's the cool part about California, though, is like you're not too far from a lot
of cool places. For us, we're going to have to travel away.
Our, like, first, yeah, 15 hours is just kind of nothing.

And back to the podcast.
If anybody has any cool events or like things going on, places to go,
things to do.
But from like from Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana,
Idaho, Utah, Utah, California,
like that kind of that direction.
And then we want to hit Vegas and then maybe like loop back that way.
But we're going west, not east.
In case people in New York are like, oh, come to Albany, yeah, or something like that.
Yeah, it needs to be something sick.
How big of an RV can you drive?
Do you need an RV license?
No.
Actually, kind of crazy.
Luckily, you don't.
You drive a 40-foot RV and pull a 40-foot trailer.
What?
Just a huge.
I mean, that's basically our trailer is like 36 feet long.
We probably want to have a 40-foot RV, but, I mean, like Ken's parents, they pull our snowmobile trailer all the time.
Right. And that's who we're, who's we're taking?
Yeah, Bob said we can take, I gave him that snowmobile, so he said we can take the RV, right?
What's the automobile?
The ZRT.
Oh.
But yeah, it'd be, it'd be great to just like get out.
Yeah, I'm excited about that.
We're excited to get out of town for a little bit and like maybe get to some better weather.
We're in the dog days of winter around here, you know.
It's not necessarily.
it's like kind of the last little stretch that always kind of just gets old.
Because then once we were talking about, we came up with like 40 more video ideas and we're
like, once the snow's gone, we can do that.
Yeah.
Once the snow's gone, we do that.
When it's warmer, we can do that.
So, like, we're stoked to come back from that trip.
We should bring the podcast stuff with.
Oh, my God.
That's a great idea.
And just get all these different people on.
We just enjoy it too much.
Well, we have everything we need.
we have a Wi-Fi hot spot we're not coming home
Mike you'd maybe do that I would love that I could
I could probably go for a month yeah I mean
as long as it's not summer maybe I could too
we'll see though yeah we'll see how we feel after a week or two
on the road yeah but so we got that coming up we need to start
planning for if you guys have any suggestions comment them down below
because we're we're totally open and we're looking for
for some stuff we got to bring as many pit bikes as we can too
luckily they're small luckily the dirt bikes
pit bikes and maybe the shifted carts we can fit a lot of machines in our trailer
but then you put some sleds or a side by side and you're just packed
so we'll figure that out we also actually do need to figure out an RV
so I got a notice to figure out an RV so I got a notification today
from Robin Hood and said happy one year anniversary Ben
you've been investing for one year that's it yes that is it mike it feels like all the time i'm again
i don't even mean this in a bad way but it feels like and i know cj has but it feels like you and cj
have been talking about crypto and you two for a long time besides i know besides for bitcoin and stuff
right okay i guess that's that's like coin base but um yeah yeah normal stonks yeah well how's
you're investing going ben are you not up at all no so so something that worries me no is
you know obviously i know to stay clear or dump whenever you buy any kind of crypto or stock
that i have i know that shit's going down quick yeah so something that concerns me is you just
bought two rental houses last week is that does that mean the housing market's going to shit
because it might be time for us to list the house i'm going to crash the entire economy baby
jesus if that happened it'd just be funny right not actually man won't you go and buy like
a Lambo or something cool so that way all the car prices can go down and we can all just go back
to living life in peace normal yeah something tells me that's exactly what's going to happen when
i do that too probably yeah dude i uh last week um i was on my robin hood and and uh or coinbase
or something and i used to have um quite a bit in shiba because back when sheba kind of blew up
i was dabbling in that and everything didn't make any money of course
I was dabbling in it.
I actually don't think I lost much.
Well, that was like the small, like, does replacement, right?
Right, right.
Because it was down.
He considers it a win.
Yeah.
Yeah, because it was down and then it skyrocketed, but of course I didn't sell.
And then it went crash back down to where it was.
So the other day, after like six months, I was like, you know what?
I'm going to just sell this.
It's not doing anything.
It hasn't gone anywhere in literally six months.
I'm going to just sell it.
And I was going to buy like an NFT or something, which I would have lost money on two.
So I sell the Shiba
And then Ryan shoots a text in the group chat today
And goes
Sheba with the sneaky 50% increase overnight
Ben
Dump everything else you own
Just selling it all, dude
I've actually been thinking about it
Do us all a favor
Yeah, it's bad
I don't know what
It's bad
It's just your timing
Or your luck
You know what you
I mean they say this with everything
If you just don't sell
Then you can never lose
That's true
You got to keep selling then.
That's why I was like, I haven't sold ever.
All right.
Mike, have you even bought any crypto?
No, but I haven't sold any either.
There you go.
I saw a really...
No, of course I bought crypto, but no, I just have literally never sold it.
I don't see the point.
I'm waiting for like Ethereum.
Yeah.
I bought it in like 25.
I waiting for that shit to go like 10,000.
Yeah.
I saw a really funny...
Or just at that point, just hold on to it.
Yeah.
I saw a really funny tweet, and it was like parents telling me to invest and do stuff like that.
And it was like my investing portfolio.
and I was down.
I'm down like 15%.
Meaning I've lost 15% of the money that I put in.
What?
Sounds nice for me.
I thought it was supposed to be easy.
You could have just used that money for fun, Ryan.
Yeah.
Might as well have gone to Vegas.
I know.
I actually probably would have had better luck gambling.
I mean, this can go back up and I'm still holding strong.
It will.
But still,
still's hard.
Dude, I,
every single time I either invest or like gamble,
live any sort i just lose i'm just not lucky or good at that and um i think i'm gonna stop investing
well or gambling gambling for sure pull tabs for sure probably smart pull tabs for sure you're like
you never played yeah we go to the bar we buy a bunch of bull tabs we lose our ass we're like hey
we never do this not never we don't do this very often ben really doesn't doesn't loses his
ass, quits.
Yeah, I think.
But if you quit Blackjack,
then now we're talking.
I don't think that you necessarily should,
but if you do,
that'll be a statement.
Well,
I'm not.
I don't think I'm going to do that.
I don't think I'm only losing like a couple hundred
at a time, Mike.
It's nothing that's going to bankrupt my future kids.
That's where it starts.
Yeah,
we'll see about this whole housing crisis, though.
I don't think that.
housing market's going down anytime soon honestly
I hope not I think that
like just everything that
got raised up with
you know inflation
is just this is just the new standard
it's where it's at
because I mean when is it ever really gone down
you know look at look at in like
the housing crash the cost of like a house
and yeah but like it doesn't ever
go back down it came back up but
it's like 20 years
or like 10 years like I feel like everything
just constantly is always rising up.
Yeah.
The cost of everything is more expensive.
Bread.
Fucking cars.
You know, gas.
Like, just everything in general consistently is more expensive because the value of the
dollar is just getting less and less.
So you have to spend even more and more.
And that's what I tell myself.
I say, hey, you know, this money sitting in the account is going to lose money,
so I might as well lose it faster.
You know, it's like a race.
it's great mentality it's weird that we like you were never able to i mean you were obviously but
you weren't able to necessarily see inflation like month to month you weren't able to like oh like
it's happening it was always just this slow and steady thing but as of the last like two years
you're able to see the prices in front of your eyes go up on everything and it's like the same
thing here's another example minimum wage when i was in a kid getting my first job minimum wage was
7.25.
Yeah,
nowadays, what is even minimum wage?
Like, people at McDonald's are making, like, $15 an hour.
Minimum wage isn't that much higher, but base pay is a lot higher.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, I mean, McDonald's is hiring at like 15 plus.
That's not minimum wage.
Like, everything has just gone up.
It's true.
Well, it's because they have to to get employees and then they can't get them.
Because everything else is more expensive.
They can't get employees, so then they have to pay them more.
So then they got to charge people more for the hamburger.
Do they even have a dollar menu?
Like, go to McDonald's.
McDonald's, shit is like 15 bucks, dude.
McDonald's is just as expensive as eating anywhere else.
Dude, like, I'll go there, like,
I'll go there, like, fine, whatever.
Like, I'll go get McDonald's because it's quick and it's going to be cheap.
I end up spending, like, 13 bucks.
I'm like, well, Jesus, I should have just gone to the pub and got on a burger
grilled by a guy on a grill, you know?
And yeah, at least had a beer with it, you know?
So there's a CNBC pie chart posted, and it said the budget,
breakdown of a 25-year-old who makes $100,000 a year and is excellent with money.
And it's a typical monthly spendings pie chart.
And it's, this is ridiculous.
It's got $825 to rent, which is probably pretty accurate.
Seems cheap.
That's really cheap.
If you're living on your own, that is cheap.
But most 25-year-olds make $100,000 a year?
No.
Just up a $8.25.
No. Okay. And then it's got $615 allotted to donations. Dining out, 250, groceries, $400, and then cell phone, $40.
What the house cleaning? $30. Internet, $20.
Transportation, $130. Like, are they high?
You think 25-year-olds making $100 grand or donating $600 bucks a month?
I don't know. So mainstream media, pretty out of touch.
Yeah, I guess.
The fact that they even made that, it's such a niche thing, you know, to beat, I guess,
25 and making that much a year and come across this and go, oh, it's not accurate at all.
Yeah, I thought that was a little ridiculous.
I pulled mine up, though, just my credit card spending report to see just from expenses,
not my investment portfolio.
Otherwise, I'd be probably looking super dumb if I showed that.
But, yeah, surprisingly, a low amount of.
of only 25% to restaurants and food in the last month and a half at $1,700.
It was still $1,700 eating out.
You spent $1,700 eating out last month?
That's since the beginning of December.
Oh.
So the last three months.
Two months.
I don't know.
I don't even want to.
It seems I.
Yeah.
I don't know.
We all for sure has spent more than that.
I feel like Ben goes out to eat the least out of anyone.
So that's right.
Concerning.
What?
What's your stock X bill?
My stock X bill?
How many shoes?
Yeah, hopefully they give you rewards points.
That would technically be under
merchandise and supplies.
Which is your highest category.
Which is my highest category.
But that's also just like random stupid shit.
And that's $4,700.
My new goal is to save money.
And the only time I'm going to spend money is when it's investing.
or investing in a YouTube video.
You're going to eat air?
Yeah.
No, ramen.
Oh, I guess I'm going back to those days.
What about putting gas in your car?
Well, obviously, you got to get gas.
What do you think I'm going to get a bike?
I start pedaling the bike.
I only drive the GTR when we're filming.
You could just catch rides back and forth with Mike.
I really could.
I get a horse.
That's the one thing I've thought about.
It's like, realistically, could ride share here and there.
It doesn't have to be every day, but I'm like,
ah, it's just nice.
This is nice having your own car.
Luckily, we don't make an hour commute.
If we had to drive an hour to work, I would not drive every day.
Totally ride with you guys.
CJ and I, well, we had our snowmobile meet up this weekend.
Yep.
Which was honestly, it was awesome.
It's a fun of people came out.
We had snow.
Big turtie mountain road snowmobiles.
That was the most snowmills I've ever ridden with.
By far.
It was literally miles of snowmobiles just in a line.
I directed traffic in Cormorant because, like, everyone would come up and stop and then go, and it was just taking forever.
So I, like, came out and it was like being a traffic cop, like stopping people.
Yeah.
And so I'm going and I'm kind of focused on like this direction for a second.
I turn around and it was a sheriff.
And I was like, I stopped the snowmills and I was like, come on through.
And he just like rolled through and kind of like looked at me and waved.
Well, I bet he was happy.
You were, yeah.
I mean, it was probably good.
I was standing out in like a block.
black coat and black pants and a black jacket i was like freaking blending into the road but i mean
it worked so the dnr was out there handing tickets out to everyone not everyone but as many people as
they could our good old pal jacob the same guy who's giving us a ticket for everything uh and i
guarantee you they were trying to get us but it's like how to fuck do you know which one's which
there was so many snowmobiles and everyone had their helmets and their gear on and i guess
he pulled someone over right in front of ben and just
just gave him a laundry list of tickets.
Because I guess his can was too loud.
He did a wheelie.
I didn't even know you couldn't do wheelies.
I didn't know that either.
But he got a ticket for that.
And then obviously he didn't have his registration done or his trail.
Snowflap.
Oh, they get you for everything.
It's ridiculous.
I just thought there'd be no registration.
But yeah, like the snow flap, the can I get.
The funniest part is none of us got stopped.
Nope.
Thankfully.
Yeah, Jake got stopped in our driveway.
Yeah.
even our, even Jake, uh, Sherbrook got stopped in it, right in our driveway.
It would have been tough if they would have stopped.
Well, I was in the front.
So I had, you know, everyone would have stopped right behind you.
Hundreds of snowmobiles behind me.
So I don't know.
Everybody actually was pretty intriguing.
Because then he would have been able to go right down the line.
Holy crap.
Can you do that?
Just hold them.
Well, I got everyone stopped.
By the third person back.
Everyone just started moving.
Go.
Yeah.
But it was.
Yeah.
I'm trying to give us all tickets.
Everyone just like scatter.
discercing.
It was chaotic for sure.
And then we stopped on a pond and all drove up a hill and watched everyone roll their
sleds down and stuff.
And then Mike Snowmobile rolled right on top of him.
It was like I was watching all these, no offense.
Like I'm by no means an expert snowmobiler, but like these nobs try to go up this hill
and they would just roll their sled down it pretty much like 90% of people were making
it.
And then there's like this 10% or 5% that were rolling their sleds down or hitting tree.
or falling off, and then all of a sudden I hear Ryan yell,
CJ, CJ, and I turn it look, and it's freaking Micah underneath his snowmobile,
trapped under a snowmobile, and like four people like jump off and like have to run over
and pull it off.
I was like, well, that was my favorite part is like the level of whenever anyone else flipped
over, everyone goes, oh, and then like you go up and help them out.
And then I did, and it looked like, it looked like you were, we got to say, my God.
It looked like you were trapped under the snowmobile.
I didn't know.
I was good, but I didn't know.
So you looked like you were being crying, for sure.
How many people came to your rescue?
I mean, just like four, but they, like, were just like, like, you looked like you needed
urgent assistance.
Yeah, I think I was close to.
Were you embarrassed?
I was a little bit.
Yeah, because I had gone up three or four times before that, and then I started to get cocky.
I didn't even go off.
Oh, so it was, it was straight up, like on accident.
You weren't trying to be funny?
No, no, no, yeah, because I'd hit it and then, like, you started to get chewed up.
I'm like, all right, this will probably be one of my last times.
And then I just hit a big dirt clump
I was nervous when everyone was watching
I was like honestly I just don't trust myself
To fucking do it
In front of this whole crowd
I knew I could
But then so when everyone went
I went up it and left
But I didn't want to crash in front of everybody
Looking
I looked like a noob
At the very beginning I was like
Giving everybody high fives
I just hopped off my sled
I'd get in GoPro
Giving everybody high fives
And I ran really far from my sled
And I was running back
And some kid just hits me
With his ski
Ran him over
Yeah
I mean, he didn't run me over, but he, like, bumped into my boot with his ski and just, yeah, knock me over.
And I'm like, what are you doing?
He was just like, I don't know, I didn't see him.
I didn't see you.
I know there's a lot going on, but I was like, all right, keep your eyes open.
We had a lot left for the ride here.
Mike just screams at the kid?
No, he came up and then took a picture with us and was like, I'm the kid who knocked you over.
And I was like, hey, thanks for telling me.
I was wondering who it was.
He was driving an Articat, so.
That's funny.
C.J. and I were talking to this guy.
We saw him kind of standing off in the distance,
and he never really came into the crowd,
and we're like,
it's super hard to talk to everybody who comes,
but we saw this kid,
and we're like,
he doesn't really seem like he's coming up to say hi,
but you can tell he wants to.
And so CJ and I went over and talked to them.
His name was Peter.
Yep.
And he actually,
he was telling us he came down from Grand Forks,
and he was Amish.
Yeah.
Well, he used to be Amish.
He used to live in the,
the Hutterite.
The Hutterite.
Is that?
So he was an Amish, yeah, but he left the, I don't know what they call him, their village or whatever.
The colony.
We should have them on the podcast.
I'm so intrigued by that.
Yeah, no, he left, he left his colony in the middle of the night to, he had to call somebody.
I don't know how he called because he didn't have a phone, but he had to contact somebody and they came and picked them up in the middle of the night, brought him out to like Staples, a small town.
And like, it's just crazy to me because I was like, so how long you've been watching?
He said, about around a year.
He's just the nicest guy.
He was a real nice guy.
So nice. I remember.
I was fascinated.
It was so easy to talk to him, too, because I had so many questions.
It would be really cool to get him on.
You signed his Amish Hat.
Yeah.
Ryan and I were talking about him then.
It's Hamishat.
Well, Ryan and I were talking about him then last night.
And I was like, I wonder if he has an Instagram.
And I was trying to find his Instagram because it was in the, it's in the, you know,
I just was looking at my followers, but I couldn't find him.
So, I mean, who knows?
I mean, but he did say he listens to the podcast.
So Peter, Peter,
comment your Instagram down below if you do,
hopefully you listen to this because we should honestly have Peter on.
That'd be really interesting.
Dude, I'm so fascinated by the Amish culture
and especially the one just right down the road, the hodorids.
Right.
It's not far from here.
And I've never met anybody.
I've never even really met anybody.
Well, it's because they have like two weeks when they turn 18.
I think they have like two weeks or a month to leave,
but they don't give them any money they don't give them like any obviously not a phone
no choice nothing like that and they say okay if you want to go and leave like go out and
live your life but if you want to come back this is your only opportunity so you either leave now
or you come back now what i think this is how it goes yeah i've heard that ask him yeah but get this
dude so like he's 20 years old now or you know a year ago maybe it would have been 18 or 19 i don't
know but he's experiencing all this stuff work he's never been on the internet he's now
got a phone like and then he finds out
like imagine how much
freaking stuff is out there
you think the hoodorids would come after us if we
put them on the park or no they're nice
people but I don't know we'd have to double check
how much how much he's
talking yeah yeah I mean I'd be
interesting if he doesn't feel comfortable then I'd understand
but maybe we have to bleep his name
and I know he just said Peter I don't even know
his last name is fine but
nice guy nice guy and we need to get him on
here wow that'd be great yeah at least just talk
to him it was so interesting
It was interesting.
Could you imagine?
It wasn't really the situation to ask questions because we were literally standing in a cold parking lot with a bunch of people around all around us.
But do you imagine experiencing life that fast?
At this age.
At this thing.
That's the part that would be like so amazing and overwhelming.
I wonder what is the deciding factor to leave was.
I didn't ask them.
But I would love to ask them on the podcast if we wants to come on.
That would be freaking sick.
We should get them on here.
And then we also need to get millennial farmer on here.
Yeah.
if you guys haven't told can't tell we love to have in the boys chats but when we have like guests
on it's just so much easier it's just i don't know i feel like it's more fresh because we know so
much about each other it's tough though living in minnesota there's not many and there's actually
just one other YouTuber millennial farmer so we're trying to get them on yeah yeah we were supposed
to meet up with him last week but the weather was like nasty nasty and so i just we were like
looking them up crazy how many views he pulls you know farming it's not that it's undeserved
We're just a legit mind-blown that there's that many people out there watching him do basically day-to-day farming.
He's a relatively big farmer.
It's entertaining, though.
He's an entertaining character.
It's not necessarily content.
It's the character.
Right.
Yeah, he's funny.
Speaking of the ride-out, though, it's really cool.
We were talking about this afterwards.
It's really cool getting the chance to meet everyone that comes out to it.
Obviously, we wish that we could, you know, spend more time and be, like, more personable with each person.
because obviously if you if you drove four hours or some people drove like eight hours like you
want to meet us but it's so hard to give each person you know enough time to like have a conversation
or have like a personal interaction with you because then the line gets a little bit longer
and then you got to have that same interaction with the other people that drove eight hours and it's
just you know it's it's a tough thing to balance but we want to figure out a way to you know be
able to show everyone our gratefulness of coming out and supporting us so i don't know we don't know what
that looks like if we're gonna keep doing the meets meetups like yeah because we hate for people to feel like
oh they didn't give you know me the time of day and it's not like we don't want to it's just there's so
many people it's so overwhelming yeah i'd say one nice thing is that we're pretty established in what
we're doing and what our what our personalities and our roles and all this like before we were like
a package deal still obviously are but if you like some people are in a sense they're almost
equally as stoked to meet one or two of us as they are the whole crew i'm not saying you're
going to come to the meet up and not meet at least all of us at one point or get to say hi but
like you know if someone gets to grab a picture with cj and i they're still like just as stoked
as it is and then grab a picture yeah maybe we you know maybe we like separate so then you can
kind of be that's what i had thought i'm like if i i can take a picture with a hundred people real
quick and have 100 conversations but if if i need to go see j get in the get over here that's when it gets
yeah that's when it gets long yep exactly and that's that's just part of the like the group
wanting we want to be together as a group well we want to be together as a group but like you know a lot
of YouTubers they're just you know one or two guys it's a lot easier to manage than five guys
burgers and fries yeah being a group you know it's a little bit more moving parts so you know
anything else no
think we're good only only the last thing i want to say is i think twin sick the band that we
were at uh last weekend is going to be a big deal someday oh yeah that's it but i mean
they were just in that one video but uh they are i just want to have that publicly noted
that i really do think they're going to that's your comeback to when i said that yeah yeah
yeah those guys are killing it so shout out them yeah dude they are well it's one thing to
become like hey i want to cj and i are going to start djing dude people will pay you to go do shows
and, you know, DJ at bars or whatever.
But when you start making original music and it's good,
like they have like two songs and they're good.
That's when you start taking off.
Anybody can DJ.
Not anybody, you know, but like.
They just have it, though.
There's certain people that just got it.
And they've got it.
Like, they've got the looks.
They've got the attitude.
They've got the lifestyle.
They've got the lifestyle.
They love to party.
Get the party going.
Yeah, get the party going.
And they're insanely talented.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I'm excited.
see where they got it'd be cool to do like uh on the you know rock out through doc out type vibe but
with that with the music we want dj and big lake party that'd be sick for sure or like a shop
party i don't know how we do that but yeah i mean yeah that'd be sick too sounds like evan just
rolled in so evan you want to hop in
yeah evan you got a clip pull up oh are those cold mike you stay on
Relatively. Are they really cold?
Oh, fuck it. These are cold, dude.
They're all the fridge in Wadena.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Take a seat, Evan.
Oh, no.
What are you doing back here? You're back again.
And, I mean, I love it. I'm great.
Oh, really?
Let's go.
Have you seen his eye?
I know.
Oh, man.
Well, Evan, you were there when...
It happened, right?
Dude, Ken, I feel seriously bad for you, bro.
Jesus Christ, dude.
What was that?
Mike.
I don't know.
That's what happened.
Evan's been staying with us here now for a week.
This has been a week.
I thought you were gone.
I was honestly, like, missed it.
But now you're back.
Yeah, I mean, if you think about it on Friday, a week and a half ago, whatever, we went to Iowa.
Every single day.
You've been with us since.
Every day.
10, 11, 12 days or something.
We got to go for a month.
Evan, you're so on brand.
The twist of T's you come walking in, like, everyone at home must just be like,
this guy's just always strapped, which you are partially.
So that led me to think about something.
I signed something this weekend.
Evan was at the rideout, and Evan has become a influencer in himself.
I mean, people are coming up to you asking for autographs, taking pictures,
all that.
We'll get that in a second.
But I was signing this thing, and it was already signed by you, and it said, stay twisted.
And I thought that was the funniest thing in the world.
I mean, there's a couple meetings.
I mean, like, twist the throttle, twisted TV.
It was good.
I thought it was great.
I thought it was really funny.
But what do you, like, think about that?
Like, like, is it just, I don't know, is it kind of, it's relatively new to you still, isn't it?
Yeah, it's pretty crazy having kids on my autograph.
and kind of like why?
Why would you want to buy an autograph?
But yeah, no, it's super cool.
And then just like talking to them and they're hyped and, you know,
just ask them how their day's going.
And it seems like it means a lot to them.
Yeah.
It's super cool.
Yeah, dude, it's funny.
I mean, just watching you like kind of become like a star.
Blossom in your own.
Yeah.
All thanks to my friends.
Yeah, you did it for yourself, though.
No, dude.
you will go and post a dirt bike video of you doing a wheelie on the ice or you doing like a massive turn on the ice and it'll get like an insane amount of views like on Instagram reels like you were telling me the other night that somebody reposted the video of you doing like the big swooping turn on the ice and it got 50 million views on Instagram reels 50 million views
Think about that.
50 million people.
And it's just Evan just going,
ding, ding, ding, ding, thing, thing, thing.
On an untag.
Yeah, I was like, that's a bullshit.
That's bullshit.
Yeah, that's some bullshit.
But a lot of them are tagged.
Yeah, I would say like 95% of people.
Dude, Evan's got like 50K followers.
That's freaking good.
Dude, I remember hanging out with you guys when I was at like 6 or 7K or something
and then you're like, CJ's was like,
we're getting you to 10K or whatever.
And that had been real fast.
Yeah, dude.
I don't, I guess I don't even know how long it's been, but I'm pretty sure.
It's hardly been a year, like a year ago, I have 10K, I'm sure.
Evan, you should start getting Instagram brand deals.
How do I do that?
We actually might be able to help you with that.
Yeah, we can maybe figure it out.
What do your parents think about, like, all this?
Because we met your parents, and I don't know why.
I just thought it was, I was so, like,
I was almost like surprise because you are like polar opposite of both your parents.
I would not expect you to be the, I don't know, just like the result of them.
And I love you.
Their offspring.
And I really like them too.
But you guys are polar opposites.
I agree with what you're saying.
Clearly, I see that.
I think now, if anything, they've supported my riding the most they ever have.
like when I first started getting into it they were so over it like your mom worried about you
getting hurt yeah and like you've never rode dirt bikes and you're younger like why are you going
to go try to hurt yourself now like you have a job and right responsibilities i can totally see that
and then obviously yeah you can't turn away after you're like well clearly not only you're doing
well doing it but people like watching you do it haven't riding dirt bikes when you're 20 years
that's crazy like that's so late in the game for people to be like really talented
I feel like.
Yeah, I think it's good, though, because it keeps it super fresh.
If I would have started when I was eight, I might have burnt out by the time I was 20.
I mean, you never know.
Either that or I'd be super good.
It was, like, really in time, though, because, like, you've done BMX and stuff.
I feel like you had the, like, the build up to it.
Everything slightly kind of leads into another.
Yeah.
No, I think I had, like, a proper background of just doing all kinds of action sports,
for lack of a better word.
So is Slim going to get that snowmobile going then?
Dude, he's pulling the jugs off it tomorrow to assess the damage, yep.
We sent the Mountain Max home with Slim in his minivan.
You guys will probably see that in the video.
But, yeah, tailgate open.
He had a three-hour, let's say three-hour drive home.
His poor wife.
I felt bad for her.
The lift gate was open.
This guy's going to be driving home with the back open, four hours.
You took that little video.
He's just cheesing.
Yeah, did you ever talk to him?
How was that ride?
Or that drive home?
No, I think the heat was fine.
I mean, the heat's blown in the front.
It was all good.
We pulled in to get gas at the Wadena gas station,
and we're in the store,
and we're checking out,
and some other guy walks in,
and he's like, no, that's one way to haul a snowmobile,
and then another woman in line starts chirping in,
and before we knew it, we got a group of people
standing around the van, checking it out.
It's so Midwestern.
Sounds about right.
You got slim, like, the most Midwestern guy, I know.
He's got something to say at all time.
Well, you know, the minivan heater.
Well, that's sick.
He's going to get that thing going.
Yeah, we told him that he could have it as long as he just gets it going
and that we get to see it fire up again.
I think he still thinks we're going to, like, take it back from him, though.
Like, he couldn't believe that we were just giving it to him.
We were like, no, you're doing us.
You can just have it.
You want to have it.
You guys should actually steal it back.
Wait till he has it good.
Like, I know the code to get into his garage and just steal.
it, and I'll...
That'd be pretty funny.
He won't know until the video drops.
We should steal his dirt bike.
Then he'd really be sad.
He'd probably cry.
No, he would cry.
I'd be afraid to getting shot if I snuck into his house.
Dude, you would rather steal his wife than steal his wife.
That's what he said when she was joking around.
And you're like, you could keep her.
As long as I got my KTM, I'm fine.
He loves that thing.
When she was kissing Ken for his birthday.
on the cheap
That is what she was doing
So it's not a burn
It's pink eye
Dude it looks worse than my pink eye
Mine was in both eyes
But Ken
If he shows you his eyeball
It is burnt
God yeah it's tough
It's bad
It's bad
It's not what you want to see
And on that note
Let's just hope
The real doctor this week
Gives us good news
Gives him good news
Most importantly
But like seriously
So you only went to the walk-in
And now he's got to
see a real doctor this week.
All walk-in doctors, right?
Ryan goes, all walk-in doctors right now.
They just, the walking doctors just couldn't help.
Just couldn't give them the help.
Dude, it just reminds me, like, when I, like, busted, when I broke all four of my five
toes in my foot, I didn't have health insurance at the time.
Pretty stupid, but that one was kind of on my mom since I was only, like, 15 or 16.
But, uh, she takes me to.
the walk-in clinic and they're like dude why'd you come here you know like that vibe your foot
and they're like this is like talking to the other nurses this is the craziest walking like injury
we've ever had i'm like yeah i shouldn't be here i's just that's that's why i should never have
came here and they're like yep you got to go to the er i'm like cool i already knew that what do they
fix at the walk in i mean they give you like you know like strep throat cold medicine like uh prostate
checks like uh physicals all that stuff but like nothing serious okay maybe they are stitches
