You guys aren't allowed back at that Broadway Square for a year. It's like at the end of the summer, like, where did the girls go? As soon as the boat was out of the water, though, they just stopped hanging out with you. This, I believe, is my 63rd get time. All the women at the same bar were just locking through that thing. And he got struck by lightning. In the same weekend? No.

Oh. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio. Your choice of chicken or sausage McMuffin or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. I almost want to pick up right at the 4th of July here, Kenjuman. Yeah, that's where we start. I mean, Kenjuman. We gave you a lot of power by giving you the world smallest pontoon. I mean, that thing is an absolute magnet. Took a lot of responsibility. We'll slip that thing over.

I'm glad that you understand the responsibility that you now hold. All the women at the sandbar we're just locking to do that thing yeah i want to know like ryan and i weren't there i want to know how it started you know you troll over there on the world's smallest pontoon ken showed up yeah and the rest happened really yeah that was about it it was like the first domino that sent the rest falling it's like ken shows up all these guys on their big long expensive pontoons are kind of like what's what's going on here and then like why is this guy so little all of a sudden they're like oh this guy needs some help anchoring down so everyone's helping them because everyone wants to get around this thing oh wow next thing you know

the guys leave their wife stay and then that is a very accurate description and then and then not only was it was it wives but then like these younger girls start coming on yeah my girlfriend my girlfriend actually ended up over there for a little bit that was pretty disturbing yeah that was a scary part i did notice there was a couple women on there that were taken so there was a good yeah but i was like what am i going to say you know like i gave him the present you know i're just dealing with the repercussions at that point exactly right yeah so So Ken's got all these girls on. One girl's kissing them and stuff.

Really? Oh, it was... Wow. Yeah, it was pretty awesome for Ken. You missed the event. Yeah, you had to keep my girlfriend on a different lake. Like, look at this shit, dude. It was so many people.

He couldn't even get... There was no room for him on. Like, it was time to go, and they were all still on his pontoon. And then, right here, it starts, like, almost tipping. And I get nervous, because it's like three, four feet of water. I was worried someone's going to get pinned underneath it if it did tip. So I'm trying to combat it. I'm like, help, help.

Two of the girls, like, bailed. Yeah, they just jumped in the water. And that thing was at like a 45 degree, they just bailed. Wow. Did you get them back? They tried to hop them back on. We had to limit the capacity. No more girls, no more girls.

Yeah, Greta was actually pretty upset with you, Ken. For what? Well, that you would put her life in danger like that with a pontoon. I mean, it's just kind of assumed at that point. Yeah, you assume risk when you're hopping on that thing. Yeah, you don't know if you're going to have a great time. get drunk or fall off or fall in love or fall in love four it was funny though when we pulled up you know ken was kind of mingling with some of the other pontoons and obviously very quickly

the wives were you know really eyeing up the mom chaser and then the tides seem to have turned real quick for the husbands to immediately start not liking ken oh like it was like did you notice that too yeah they're kind of like people that were like kind of kind of boys with at the sandbar and then Ken shows up in this thing, and then they really flipped on. They weren't too sure about it. Yeah. They, like, I mean, they're still paying loans for their big pontoons. Ken pulls up on a tiny pontoon, $3,000 pontoon.

It's a tiny little downpane. I did have to keep it away later in the weekend, just we didn't have issues with some of those people. That's what I was going to say, like small town, you know, there's only so many guys, only so many gals. It's kind of like a whole, you know, you got to play chess when you're talking to ladies like that. and you had all of the, all the pieces, whatever the little chest dice thing are called, they're all in your court. It's amazing. I just love the idea of Ken maybe having a bigger pontoon and be like, dude, think of

how many girls you could fit on this. And then like that being the whole reason. Yeah, he's just alone on this like huge 26 foot pontoon. I think it just needs to be wider. Yeah. It doesn't have to be any longer, just wider. I just like that. I take it.

It's built with, you know, full size pontoon. So it, the capacity is. there but the top heaviness is a serious problem like a little teeters did your chair hold up it did hold up that time so even had a girl sitting in his lap wow didn't break dude that would actually be really bad if it did break it was so packed on i don't know if they would have been able to fall backwards packed like sardines yeah so it was just it's amazing i feel like uh you guys really nailed it with this gift for ken you know after years of it it only took i don't even know how many toilet related gifts before you finally uh i mean they haven't all been toilet related yeah there's been a more than

your fair share yeah i'd say the majority of them have been toilet related but i wouldn't say all of them can don't forget about the earrings that i gave you oh yeah well you initially gave me fake ones but i did get i did get you real ones where are those i forgot about that i think they're in my bathroom somewhere are your ears still no i took him out and then they just closed up after i feel really dumb but when did you get your ears pierced when everyone else got there well you don't you never had to go the piercing phase. No, because I ran really fast, but you also, that's right. Because I had to do the nipple. How did you, how did, yeah, how did that come to be? There's so many things that happened. Did you opt out a nipple? I opted on a nipple initially.

And then you ended up getting it eventually. And then I forget what it was that made me get my nipple pierced. So yeah, why don't you wear those? So you had your ears pierced initially. Yeah. And then you eventually got your nipple pierced. Yeah. How did you not get out of that? Oh, it was parking in front of the garage drawer, wasn't it? No. Oh, and then Ryan had to back in. And if Ryan back the trailer in, Ryan back the trailer in. And that was for the ears, right? Or that was the nipple. That was the nipple. Got it. What was the ears? What was the ears? How do you not remember? You got your ears pierced. This was like three years ago at this point. I feel like I should remember too. So many things happen around here. I don't remember what we did

last week. I know. But it is. I'm trying to think too. I can't remember that one. What we did last week or what? Both. Both. But I don't blame me on that one. though, Ken, because I don't remember what it was either. It's such a good problem to have, but it is a problem. I think ears pierced Ken was my favorite version of you, Ken. I'm on cowboy hat, Ken. I like Cowboy Hat Ken. Yeah, that one's pretty good.

But you still pull out now, but I don't think you're in your Cowboy Hack Ken era. What about Man Bun Ken? No, no, that's long gone. That one was long gone. Wait, what was Man Bun Ken? I forgot. Yeah, oh, I remember now. Why did he have a man button?

I don't remember that one. This is his hairstyle. college wanted to do something stupid. Yeah, you were just, you were trying it out. Your hair was long enough to be in a man bun? Barely. Then I got rid of it. Was it like a little ponytail? Yeah, it was like a little pony. It was a to popper. Yeah.

Shaved sides. It was really dumb. Honestly, I didn't hate it. It just is crazy to look back and be like, yeah, I had a man bun. You're like, oh, that's cringe. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't be like, Ken, you got to do that one again. No. What are the Ken versions are there? Bald Ken. Yeah, there was European Ken.

How long did you have? Oh, yeah. So Ken went to Europe one thing. time and you were gone for like, what, three weeks? It was like a summer abroad. It was like a month and a half. Oh, eight weeks. Okay.

Ken was gone for eight weeks and then he came back and the dude didn't know anything. It was like he went to Mars or one of those planets that like, you know, has a dark side. No, like a shorter day. And then it's like one day there is like seven years here. Yeah. It was like Ken. It was like Ken experienced like five days in Europe and it was like 17 lifetimes here. He came back.

changed you didn't know a single thing of what was going on you guys get all these inside jokes going if you're not a part of the you're still not a part of the inside jokes so then you're just like oh what the fuck is that i feel like i never really did recover from europe that one did put you just that eight weeks behind because we met so many new people you guys started the chicken coop when when i was gone it was when we started kind of all really hanging out and probably started like boozing and hanging out with girls and stuff like that so so much changed. Before that, it was just browing down.

Hanging out at Jake's playing a little X-Bot. Yeah. So was Ken gone when we started like hanging out with girls way back in the day? Ryan had this boat that it was just like a straight-up sausage fest for like the first three years of going on it, right? It was just like probably 18 dudes every single weekend, right? It was lit. It was so fun.

And then you made a friend and she would bring her friends over, right? I remember that because you weren't wheeling all of them. I know that. Oh, for sure. Or any of them actually, no, I think about it. It quickly turned from like just all sausages to like a pretty solid ratio. Yeah. If I remember we'd pull up with all the guys on the lake and they'd be like, damn, you guys brought all the girls.

And I used to literally say that about you. I would just be like, man, I love having Ryan as a friend because he's got a boat and it's always full of girls. Man. I can't even believe that I am the same guy. The weirdest thing that we realized, and I still don't quite understand this, is like at the end of the summer, Like, where did the girls go? Like, as soon as the boat was out of the water, though, they just stopped hanging out with you.

A lot of them living. What was up with that? Ken, you might experience this. This is about to be a brutal awakening for Ken. Learn from my mistakes. Lock a couple down and also get something to do in the winter. We just got a trailer itself. So we named Ryan's boat the SS Gold Digger.

We even put a gold sticker on the back of it that said SS Gold Digger. That was a whole thing. Which is what you do when you name a boat. I have a decal. I have a great picture of me next to it on my Instagram, actually. My God. Your mom was proud. I would say she was the opposite of proud.

I remember she wanted to take it off. I don't blame her. I think he was pretty proud. I think there is. Looking out and seeing Ryan with 12 chicks on the boat. He probably knew he's like none of these chicks even want to talk to my kid, but at least they're on the boat, you know? I do remember that.

I was thinking back this weekend because we hosted a ton of people throughout the weekend. and Sunday night came around, I go, whew, I'm exhausted. And then I remembered being like 18. And that's how it was every weekend. I go, man, my mom had to hate that. Yeah, but we never drank. Oh, yeah.

We were just like straight chilling. That's true. Doing it for the good time. Still make a mess, though, and all that. Yeah, it's just like the cleaning up and stuff like that. It gets just kind of trashed, like pretty quickly when you have so many people over eating, drinking, whatever. Yeah.

It's like a tornado just goes through and they're gone. Yeah. That was Ryan's house. It's always fun, though. Ryan's parents. house like our entire childhood though that was the go-to spot like every friend group has like the go-to spot and i just kind of bounced around but most of it was at your parents house yeah we would just yeah we probably left just a trail every time we'd leave my god yeah used to come over and so

ben doesn't have unhealthy food at home and that's why he's so healthy but he would come over and then eat all my like sugared cereal stuff like that the fruity dino bites oh juice packs Juice packs. Two, three, four bowls, maybe. Actually. Oh, dude, yeah, Ben had, like, an ongoing joke about getting turt off juice bags. And I'm like, bro, they're just juice bags, man. But he had never had sugar.

When I would go to CJ's house, his mom or my aunt would joke, like, all right, we got to plump Ben up. For the winter, we're going to be gone for a while. Going into hibernation. I'm going into hibernation. Got to fatten me up, like, the chipmunks. So, Mike, what's the deal with, you got pulled over this weekend? Again. I did.

And I do have a deal or you guys. It's a real good one. What was this number? Like, what was the, how many times now have you? This, I believe,

is my 63rd get time. Oh, and how many tickets do you have? Is it a lot of tickets? Like 15. Okay. So like pretty good ratio. That's a lot.

That's a big number. I don't know. It's a magnet. But no, I was coming out of like, you know, the small town as you're crossing through. So it goes from 30 to 55.

And I just sped up way too early. And then Sidney's like, there's a cop right there. I'm like, yep. Classic. He's new. You messed up right off the bat. He pulls me over and then he's like, taken forever.

I'm like, yep, I'm getting a ticket. He was nice, which is good. It's always nice. I love that. I still got the ticket. But he comes up with the ticket and he's like, all right, you want the good news or the bad news? And I'm like, I see the ticket in your hand. So what's?

So what is the good news? I don't know, man. Just let me know. Talk to me. And then he's like, all right, so I bumped you down. You were 18 over. I bumped you down to 10 over. That's a beauty move.

That's huge. So that is the good news. I'm like, then the bad news is the ticket, right? And then he's like, no, I was running your name, like your profile, and I was supposed to let you know that you're trespassed from Broadway Square for a year. Oh, way. And I'm just like, what? And he's like, you know anything about that? I don't know anything about that.

But like, is that ringing any bells? I'm like, Broadway Square. Broadway Square. And then I like almost incriminated myself. I'm like, I just bought a dirt bike from you motors. Is it like 25th in Maine? You're like, I don't know. He was riding wheelies?

Yeah. And then he's like, no, it's like Broadway Square. Do you know where that is? And then I was like, not really. And then he's like, something like e-bikes. I don't know what that is, but. Oh. And then I'm like, oh, yeah, when we were there, riding over the little bench.

And then I gave that homeless lady a ride. Just you? That's what I was like, okay, just me? Or is it like the riders? He's like, I really don't know. Here's the officer who's in charge of that case. here's his number if you want to call him, which I don't. Yeah, no kidding.

And then he's like, yeah, so if you just want to let your boys know. So he knew to let all of us know, too, though. So what? So he must know who you are. And then also, oh, then as this is happening, is this information is being provided to me, Sydney's, and he's on her side because he's, you know, off the highway. She's just laughing, just like out loud, like kind of hysterically laughing.

It was like laughing. And he's like, what's so funny? And then she's like, I don't know. It's just funny. Like, if you know. And then he's like, yeah, he's like, am I being recorded right now? And I was like, look him in the eyes. I'm like, no.

No. And then he's like, oh, I just didn't know if it was going to make it up on YouTube or not. Like he was in a good move. Okay. Yeah. And again, he didn't seem like he knew much. He's like, I'm just supposed to let you know. I don't know what it's about.

But you guys aren't allowed back at that Broadway square for a year. So all of us or just you probably assuming all of us? Assuming all of us at the very least, Evan and I, which is fine. We don't really do anything. Yeah, fuck the Broadway square. I wasn't there, by the way. You weren't. I was driving the truck around running hot laps.

All right. Probably good. You're in this one. Nope, that's not how it works. One falls, we all fall. Yeah,

I mean, you're right. This is when an alias comes in handy. Alius. What are you going to put your, what are you going to, holy shit. Kelly.

Oh, he'll go. I'm Grant. I'm Grant. Wow. I never thought of that. Maybe it could be that it was because you were associated with, with that lady who was then destroying the flowers even though you did not like her. And that actually could be. So maybe I should get more information about it. Yeah, maybe that they thought that was your

girlfriend. I was talking to one of the guys who does like maintenance for the city of Fargo. And he was saying they've been trying to like catch that lady vandalizing all the downtown flower pots for like a while. No way. We had it on video. It's on video. Nice. Bro. They should be thinking. And we're getting freaking trust passed. I guess. They should be thanking us. That would be really funny if it was just me and It was because I was giving her a ride. So what? We can't walk on that side of the street? That's what I asked him.

I'm like, I mean, we were just on the sidewalk. And he's like, the sidewalks fair game as far as I know. But they put an ice skating rink up there in the winter. And I'm just imagining going on like a nice fun ice skating date. Oh,

and you get tackled. Yeah. They like swat you. There he is. Get them. Wanted. Mike's going around like wearing a mask. So we can't go there and we can't go to NDSU.

Yeah. And something tells me the same thing would have. happen if we went there that happens when we go to NDSU nothing yeah so Mike came we you should go take a picture and posted just like standing on Broadway Square in a won't it won't have a mustache on be like you can't catch me oh my gosh a fake mustache on over yours that's like Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports got banned from all NFL games or maybe just a Super Bowl but he snuck into the Super Bowl wearing a mustache you know like the most obvious I think that's hilarious.

It is kind of funny because, like, downtown Fargo is riddled with crime. Like, everywhere. I mean, real crime. Like murders, stabbings, drug use. I'd imagine that their problem was probably riding it over that little wooden bench. But also, what's the wooden bench there for? These things are pretty much just glorified mountain bikes. Like, we didn't damage it.

That's what I thought it was from was when we rode over that, which the best part about that is when we pulled up to that area, Evan was like, dude i don't like this i want to go never does and then i'm just like you was we're fine and then we just got to ride over this thing once or twice he's like we're out in the open and he was like so sketched and then we end up getting in trouble even though i told him about it he thought it's yeah he probably oh i was gonna say does he know about this because we should bring him back and like have like a sign that just says i am evans chef and just be like yo we're just doing like a bunch of photos of us like around town here and have him do this right on the corner

there and then call them in. No good, but probably fine. Yeah, probably fine. I'd say that one's probably all right. I feel bad because it's not really that funny to be like, oh, we got, we apparently pissed off somebody. Some giant statewide billion dollar corporation decided that we were upsetting their flow of their unit there.

It is kind of funny that Sidney was like, it's so funny that my boyfriend is being charged with trespassing. Yeah, she liked that, huh? She thought a bad boy. Maybe. And I'm just like, cut it out. You're like stop laughing The cop hasn't left yet

That's usually how you have good luck with officers Just be very straightforward And no jokes No sarcasm They don't like that They don't like the sarcasm They don't like typical Micah Oh that's probably pretty tough for you then Mike

Dude cops do not like sarcasm That's for sure I mean I don't think any like sarcasm I think most people do I mean like I don't know if this is groundbreaking information But like we don't really like the sarcasm Sometimes That has to be so

tough for you because you are like probably one of the most sarcastic people that's true but it is tough because sarcasm it's like a little bit of comedy too so if someone says something and then i'm sarcastic back and i'm got a room full of laughs that does feed the fire how often is it followed up with laughs and not followed up with us just going oh i would say like over half the time probably just different crowd because if you guys are on the same page and i'm sarcastic to you as a whole obviously that's not going to go well for me i think it also depends on the situation too we're annoyed then then it's no good but like if it's a funny scenario yeah then we're gonna laugh i don't want to relay the news on this one because i feel like it doesn't need to be said but

you guys hear about sketch i did did i think it should be like i did it's okay i did yeah i did everybody does things are not proud of his just came to light feel bad for the guy man he's had a weird blow up what a whirlwind of like the last i mean what six months of his life yeah Yeah, it hasn't been wrong. Like, he's definitely a very different individual. Yeah. Not saying it in a bad way, but it's like, there's so many. And his apology showed that.

It was like, it was funny, but it was heartfelt. Yeah, he was funny in his apology. I like that. He wasn't, it's like, in a sense, he wasn't intentionally being funny or sarcastic. He was just like being sketch. I know. I was kind of, because I saw there was a video and apology videos never hit. Like, I've never.

watch one where I'm like nice I now feel apologized to and when he walks in he goes I dress the elephant in the room I got a haircut I just burst out laughing dude I was like God and I feel bad that I don't even know if we should call it an apology video

because is it like he does he did apologize but does he need to I don't know yeah yeah I guess that's kind of where I'm maybe a little bit confused do anything wrong about it but that's where I was I was curious like what what the video was or like what he was doing that he like had to apologize about it for but i think you gotta just look it up honestly man i was less

surprised that uh he had like a gay leak than i was that he could drop bars the way that he does like the way that he freestyles that one was like made me like that one i actually had to like sit up out of my seat and been like where did this come from are we able to pull that up yeah can do that i did a little more research on that and it sounds like he wasn't freestiling those were pre-written and i'm like here's still here is the kicker pre-written or freestyle the man's got flow, which is really hard to do. Trust me, if you started hearing me try to rap. Yeah, if I gave you like the most,

like a notebook paper of the most fire bars or myself, I just wouldn't bail that. I thought it would be the best at it. Yeah, for sure. I don't think someone would go like, he's got it. And then when I heard the one, you know, one minute rap from sketch, I was like, he's got it. I'm not sure if any of us could actually maybe pick up like a rap career.

Imagine if Ken, Ken, you start rapping maybe? I don't have a flow. for it. But yeah, let's listen to this. It's so good. Who's this with? Metro boom in. Really?

Wow. really good. That was actually. It was insane. Some people are just so talented in all these random parts of life. Like he just was born to be a star. Or an entertainer, exactly. Yeah, I think about that a lot, actually, of like, you know, there's

so many different Disney stars or Nickelodeon stars that are now like mega, mega music stars. Man, that's always blown my mind. Maybe it shouldn't. Yeah, but it shouldn't. I just wonder, like, right place, right time and you don't actually have to be that talented. I wonder that like how much does being a musician actually require like talent with singing yeah and obviously they have some talent if they're able to perform live but like how much of that is taught you know

versus just innate talent of like you're like you were just born to be a superstar well that's what i wonder it's like you could be the best actor in the world and be like i just don't have a singing voice but for people in disney they're just like oh yeah i'm a really good actor and i can sing too are you For example, and, like, people are just like, wow, no one could ever sing like Mariah Carey until she came about. And she didn't come out of the woodwork. She was this huge childhood teenage star and then just happened to become, it just blows my mind. I think being a musician would be probably like the coolest thing ever, like the coolest job ever. Like being able to, you know, perform in front of 100,000 people live like that.

Like, I was at a Morgan Wallen concert a couple weeks ago. And, dude, it's just insane. And like every single song that he has every, every person in this entire stadium. So he sold at U.S. Bank Stadium, like 100,000 people or something like that. And every single person in there was just like worshipping him. Like knew every single word of the song. And it's just like, God, that's just got to be such a crazy feeling.

I was when you said that like, oh, these actors and singers. And I was like, what would you rather be a singer or an actor? And I thought at first I was like, I think I'd rather be an actor. You know, you get to like do cool things and whatever. And then I was like, no, there's got to be nothing cooler than going up on stage and, like, everybody there being about you. Sing and your song back. The thing about actors, though, is like, they're fake.

Yeah, you're not really, you're not playing. Yeah, you like the character that they play, but, like, they don't really know you. Unless you're Tom Cruise. Yeah, then you are kind of just Tom Cruise. Yeah, yeah, but he's kind of an anomaly. I agree with that, though. I kind of even felt the energy of a crowd when we did boat ramp watching. Dude, the energy around that boat.

ramp was this electric. It was positive energy. It was a lot, even from the dock, just watching. It really was. That was a beautiful moment. We got 100 people and we took them boat ramp watching. The last video, if you haven't seen it, 90% of the people loved it. Cops showed up. They even loved it. Yeah. They didn't say it. But they, they were like, they were like, what you guys are doing is like, it's not illegal. And you guys are good to keep doing it. Just don't like turn 100 people into something bad. Yeah, exactly. Turn it into like a riot or do something with that. Because you can, kind of have like control over like a hundred you know you're the yeah you have the say over a hundred people of what we're doing and in that case it was just cheering on people back in their boats into

the water yeah which was nice to hear nice yeah they were super nice i was uh terrified when they started walking on i was seeking my man ryan out heavily yeah i made me very happy i bet dude i'm standing on the dock holding the camera whatever and i just hear him come down and goes which one of you is ryan i'm like god dang it was like why were why was where was where was where they looking for you specifically because you were the one who sent the emails out because the bus I had organized the buses and sent the email so I'm sure anyone they asked to go like who's who do you think's in charge and so is Ryan I was nervous going into it a little bit I was like is this like I we're not starting a riot but could they flip it and somehow make it that way and

like actually bring us to jail for the weekend like I know it wouldn't be a big crime but like I was like God it's Saturday I don't want to knock it out till Monday yeah I really don't want to do When I saw him walking down, I'm like, oh, here we go. We'll see how this goes. I mean, I was along for the ride. But then they're just like, which one you use Ryan? I was like, oh, thank you. I did organize like that event.

So it probably would have been me, I guess. I got all the people there. Thanks for saying that publicly. You're welcome. Like to get 100 people somewhere is a lot harder than you think. Not finding people because thankfully everybody at home is great and comes out. And they actually are super respectful and nice, which is helpful. but getting the right amount because like you send out like 600 emails and then 200 people right off the battle like I'll be there and then throughout the week they go my cat sick my car broke down I got to walk my dog and then you like whittled down so on Wednesday night I had gone from 120 people saying yes because I knew there was going to be less people than that to like I probably got 85 people who dropped out on me I was down to like 20 people that were confirmed to show up and I was tweaking

So then I sent out a bunch more emails, and we had one empty seat on the bus. Yeah, dude. That couldn't have been any better. I was really, really proud of that. Yeah, that was really, I was pretty proud of that, too. I haven't told you that, too, but I was, I couldn't believe we had two buses and they were each perfectly full. Yeah. Perfectly full.

I couldn't believe it. Yeah. I love that. Because I was like, should I ride in the spinner? You know, I'm going to ride with everyone else. And then me and Grandpa Ron's. Oh, yeah, and Grandpa Ron came. Chatting it up with everyone.

That was so awesome. And then when he came back and he's like. Like, this is before we left. Everyone's kind of, you know, antsy just like, what should we do? And we'll just chill out. And then Grandpa goes around and talks to every single person there. Yeah, he's like, I think I talked to everyone. And I'm like, there's a hundred people here.

That's crazy. That's awesome. Dude, Grandpa Ron, man. That guy is a special, special dude. We didn't get it on video, but one of the guys opened the door up in Grand Paran standing there. And he goes, why don't you go get a life? And Grandpa goes, why don't you go fuck yourself? Yeah, he did tell him that.

It wasn't on camera, though. What? Dude, how can you look at him and say that out of all the kids? Go get a life that he could be like, I've already, I've lived three lives already. What are you talking about?

Because I'm fucking Grandpa Ron. I thought that was so funny though. That was the best. I know Grandpa Ron was actually the only guy I couldn't control. Everybody else was saying listening to me and whatever. And I'd be like, Grandpa, you can't touch the cars as they're coming by.

I had to tell him that too. What was up with that? This dude just kept patting the cars. I was like, Bro, keep your fucking hands down, Grandpa. I look over. He's in the middle of the boat ramp, like unhooking a trailer. I know, he's helping him out.

Like, oh, my goodness, this guy, dude. It always amazes me how respectful our fans are. I know. Like, they're, like, some of, like, the most well-behaved people I've ever seen out in public. Yeah. Which is hard to believe. I even have a hard time believing that's saying that out loud. But they are just, like, well-mannered kids.

Like, they'll, like, get in line and, like, patiently wait to, like, talk to you or get a picture or whatever, like. Yeah, instead of like a mob. Yeah, going nuts. It makes doing stuff like that easy. Yeah. Which is good because then we'll keep doing it. Maybe not 100 people at the bolt ramp again being at the police.

That one's done. That one's done. But we need another 100 people. I don't know how we would one up that one. Maybe a thousand. Yeah. See, I don't think. A thousand people of the boat ramp, but we're going to have to go to a bigger boat.

I don't think it makes it any better. Imagine us at Havasu or something like that. Yeah. Well, if we did that, we would definitely fight down there. Yeah, we'd need. need like full on like grandstand stadium seating for that i feel like it is just the most universal thing like even i was nervous pulling the boat up and there was no one around you know like when people are just in the boat with you dude every time i go to the boat ramp now i i pray that nobody recognizes me

as like the guy that puts people on blast at boat ramps oh man because i know if i mess up phones coming out they're gonna be looking around like you guys seeing this yeah about to go viral on this idiot whenever i pull up to the boat ramp i just i don't know where the confidence comes from but i just tell myself i got this and i wish i could apply that to other things in life but boat ramp now like i'm not the best backer upper but if you tell yourself you got it you're better off something else i thought was funny that we didn't get on video was the one lady that was really upset with us for some reason she kept calling us assholes and her daughter kept like grabbing her and pulling her back and be like mom no no but when they're driving away none of the cameras captured it but like a bunch

of people heard it the daughter goes mom no those are the C boys mom you're gonna go viral mom you're gonna be a meme stop mom no and she's like she like can't help herself at that point the daughter's like no mom you're gonna be a meme I know I feel bad about that one yeah yeah that one's I think that's something that like our generation of people understand that if you're gonna freak out in public you're gonna be a mean but just Other people, they didn't grow up with that, the older generation, perhaps. It was interesting just how so many people, like, loved it. Like, they just played into it.

They'd back in or they'd mess up or they'd mess up. And then eventually they'd get it right and they'd hop out and everyone be cheering. They'd bow and, like, you know, they'd play into it and made it fun. But then some people, like that lady, for instance, just flipped the switch and went the other direction with it and was just pissed. So, yeah, I mean, it really just comes down to perspective. it's true how you want to take it it was kind of their choice yeah we saw both ends of it yeah exactly and one thing that also i don't think was on camera is when those people pulled out their pontoon was like kind of off the trailer happens a lot with pontoons i guess they got it yeah we sent up a bunch more

people over and then we push the pontoon back on the trailer and help them out so we were being slightly useful there all your dad was like the flagman everyone else was cheering heckling and your dad just like helping people oh really falls off oh oh that was awesome That was too good. So speaking of Fourth of July activities, you guys ever see that thing in Alaska when they just drive cars off the cliff? Oh, yeah. It was so bad. Yeah, like, what the frick, dude?

That's the coolest, like, thing that you do in your town ever. It seems like something we do here. I know, wish we had a big enough hill. I guess I can't speak for everyone, but I do have that, you know, on the list, on the bucket list. It's a lot to go to Alaska just for that. And, you know, it is your Fourth of July, but, like, I want to go. That looks fun. They said they went for an hour.

hour and a half this year. What the free? Of launching cars off? Oh, really? Pop up some vids. Has that ever gone bad? Like, as a car not died, launching off, and then it catches some speed

and it rips into the audience or something? Because, like, the audience is, like, right there. Right there. Did you see the one of it hitting the water this year? It's never hit the water before, and a car hit the water for the first time, which is, because the water's there that if a car somehow was to survive that,

it would then it just drive and hit this pond. I bet you a Ford Raptor, like, 20 years once they start jumping the Ford Raptors off. Those things are going to be taking it. They're just going to keep going. I wonder how they started this. The real winner is whoever gets to take these to the scrapyard. No kidding.

Damn. So then, that was close. Wait for the pan. Like, I was like, oh, maybe the camera guy's there. Oh. Fucking everybody's right there. That was really close. So, like, that was one of their farthest ever.

Yeah. Dude, those are our people right there. A bunch of people that are willing to just sit right behind a little pond. That's their formal protection. And so here's a thing of 2017 to 2024. So the river is moving and pushing people closer. But also the crowd has like expanded significantly. There's quite a bit more people there.

It's becoming more and more popular. That's crazy. So that town actually doesn't get dark because it's in Alaska. Oh. That's why they do that instead of fireworks. Oh, that makes so much sense. But honestly, yeah, I would love to go. It's tough because just the 4th of July is like the most special holiday in central Minnesota.

Yeah, and it's got to be here. Those are our people and that is a very cool event, but it's tough to tell other, you know, your friends and family. Oh, I won't be here for the 4th. I'm going to Alaska to watch Cars Flaff a clip. Yeah. I could actually see you doing that, Mike. Well, yeah, I would do it, but still hard to explain. We could send you and Ken with a GoPro

I'm down. I am super down. Ken's going to be like, put my pontoon. GoPro 3. Yeah, we take a GoPro 3. It's all we got. 720P, baby. That is an inside meme. What's up with all the fireworks that you guys were watching this weekend?

I wasn't there, but they looked insane. It was dope. This dude over on the lake, who's got money coming out of his ears and is for the people spent like 80 grand on fireworks. Yeah, I never heard a real number, but every time I heard the number, it was higher and higher and higher.

I heard from the source, not directly him, but a family member, it was 80. I would believe it. In just fireworks, but then you had to pay for people to set them off.

Money on fire. Yeah, I know. And that's what I was wondering while we were watching it. So these things are blown up. It is the best fireworks show I've ever seen. But I was like,

I'm enjoying this, but I wonder would you enjoy it even more if you paid for it? I feel like you would. You'd have to. So we do a very, small fireworks show i mean it's pretty decent but we do a good fireworks show for our family but compared to that as very small and i have way more fun doing it than everybody else like i because you know you bought it

and you look at the box that doesn't tell you anything and then you go oh is this one going to be good and then you ring them up you string them all together and you're like planning it so that's the fun part of it and then you get to light it off and hope that people enjoy it and then also i mean i'd like to think when you hear cheers just like if you were entertaining or singing if you hear cheers for the whatever firework just went off, you're like, nice. Nice. I did that. It's got to go.

Like, all these people came. They're getting a free show that they're enjoying. You got 80 grand in fireworks. It takes a while for them to go through it. So, I mean, midway through the show, I mean, sometimes I start looking around, I'm looking away. I'm missing fireworks, but I'm like, I mean, there's going to be plenty more. Yeah.

But I wouldn't be doing that if I was the guy who paid for it. Right. Yeah, you'd be walking around making sure that everyone was watching. Frigin. I did set a camera on a tripod. It's kind of said that our Lake Association. spent more money on like the community fireworks show and it was significantly worse really maybe they're just pocket and cash they did not spend more than that no way the pelican lake association

spent like a hundred oh yeah well they they messed up too they had a miss fire really yeah oh wow what happened started a bunch of people i don't know it went wrong there's a bunch of people out waiting to watch it and then it was supposed to start at 10 30 some dude just pushed the button at 10 oh really how do you do that you just messed up you just how do you how do you fucking that one up like who one button like it doesn't even have like a safety switch like yeah like the red button like the classic in the movies like flip up the switch and hit the button the one on cormorant was like literally looking like a remote kind of looking thing with just one button on it yeah i have a video of the guy on cormon lighting off but his i mean i don't know

this is a pretty complex system what wow but there's no way they're lighting them off from our boat uh yeah no way yeah that crazy and then here he just watch watch he's He, like, starts button mashing it, and then it was like finale time. What? I love that. Did he even know what he was doing or was he just pressing buttons? I mean, I think he probably knows. That's insane.

It was cool. So this is coming from three barges on the water. Yeah. Fireworks are getting way more advanced. This guy's just straight up button mashing. Yeah, I love that. I love that. I love that little combat.

I'm sure that was, like, part of the end, you know? Like, you have a system that goes through, but, yeah. I mean, at the end, at least for the finale. Maybe he was just trying to make sure all. of them cleared, so he was just button-mash and everything single one. That's the press all. And just buddy on Pelican press that half an hour early somehow? I don't know.

People were pretty disappointed. Early and half of them didn't go off or something, but they sent out like an apology email. I mean, I guess accidents happen. So did you guys get charged for that or is it a volunteer base? I bought a phone book. Oh, that's where it goes. Oh, good.

You did finally buy a phone book. $80. Good. $80 phone book? What the hell? Do you ever, like, call someone out of it just because you should fucking just call? You should upload like a... Hey, I just figured, never really chatted with you before.

Are you guys in there? Bought this stupid fucking phone book. I think so. No, I don't, like, under an alias name. Oh. I didn't want our names in it. I mean, shit, it's damn new you should put that thing up on the wall. 80 bucks.

80 bucks for a phone book? I just don't know if I want, like, my neighbors having my phone number and, like, being able to call me if they have a problem. Yeah, well, they have ours now. You don't have a little... I'll buy two of you. keep my name and number out of it tried that yeah it didn't go so well i remember that story oh that's funny but yeah the fireworks definitely lit of course like any fireworks there's barges on fire

there was crazy shit going on right to answer your question um if there's if i have a neighborhood directory yeah i do so i moved into this house last year i very quickly kind of got thrown into like the neighborhood HOA drama oh like within like the interesting within okay so there's like group chats in it email texting but like on email so on email they were like kind of like a couple of the neighbors are like going at each other um i can't remember exactly what the problem was but it had to be voted on by like the board of the neighborhood right of the HOA and there was like a just a disagreement of it but they all found out that i had a podcast and that i was like kind of talking about the HOA drama so like and i never said anything bad about any of them and i never said anything bad about any of

them individually, but, like, one person found out about the podcast, listen to, like, the one of me, like, basically just, like, spreading the neighborhood drama. And then pretty much the whole neighborhood then found out about it. And this year, now that you say that, this is what reminded me of it. I haven't, dude, I think they kicked me out of the chat. I think they don't want me knowing about, like, what's going on in the neighborhood. I haven't heard anything. That's a good thing.

Yeah, I was going to say, do you care. No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't care. I do not care one bit. Let them handle it. Yeah, they can handle it. And, you know, I pay my fees. And I have not voted.

And I always tell my neighbor, that's my boy. I always say, hey, you let me know if there's anything I need to vote on. But until then, I'm staying out of it. Yeah. Yeah, because your neighbor is a fantastic dude. So you know, like, it wasn't someone close to you. Right. I'm not sure who it was, but it's funny.

It's funny getting drama from other groups of things that don't matter. I still get it a little bit. with like old groups that I was in and stuff like that and I go what are you guys fighting over? You got nothing to fight over. Like we got big shit that we could fight over every day

and we just don't because we're like onwards and forwards do we got lots of shit to do and I'm like man I can't believe we're arguing right now about you know something real stupid. Yeah. Yeah I mean we say that all the time like we never have problems it's like the external people that

yeah that we're friends with that have problems. Yeah you hear about the other problems. You're like wait what what was going on? I did hear their. was a spill here this weekend evans out working on the track but i heard someone got hurt oil i has heard one of evans friends or one of my friends it was over here they go yeah did you hear so and so got hurt while he was here he didn't get hurt did he i called it everything's all good it was like the way the story was told to me is that someone fell and it had gotten hurt on a dirt bike and i go

great here we go just why we say no no no late night dirt biking right i ask ev and he's like no no one No one got hurt. And I go, well, if Evan, Evan, actually, I knew that Evan wouldn't say anything because if someone didn't leave in an ambulance, no one got hurt that night. So then I started asking around and it was okay. He just like fell and kind of skid it out. I mean, slight scrape. But one of the girls that was there too was like, yeah, he fell and, you know, like got hurt.

But he was, he was 100% of that. What about Glenn? What about Glenn having that girl? He was like faking that injury. Oh, I was like, that's all I heard about. Glenn's got chicks on his mobility. scooter on it's on he's riding on the mobility scooter he's got the chick sitting on his lap typical just kind of legendary yeah i mean i don't know about the faking the injury bullshit but uh but yeah good

for glad i'm glad that uh things were able to work out over here i don't know how well they did work out because the next day i saw glenn and i go hey i saw a snapchat of you last night and he goes oh yeah with uh the mackenzie chick i go that's not her name that is not her name so that tells me how that ended. Glenn, dude, that guy is the fucking best, dude. It was like raining on and off. It's been raining a lot this year.

But, Thunder's all, Evan was gone. The way the rain makes him feel. Oh, yeah. I did. Sorry. I don't accept that, Ryan. But, uh, no, I was putting my, it was Sunday.

It was pouring rain. And I'm like, I got to get the jet ski off of your shore. And, uh, I'm like, this sucks. It's just raining. It's lightning. And I'm like, dude, I mean, am I going to get struck by lightning?

And Sidney's helping me. And then I'm like, whoa, your hair is just all like standing on end. No shit. What? And I was like, what's wrong? And I'm like, it's crazy. You're like, I just didn't know. And I'm like, your hair is like standing up.

And then I'm like, oh, wait. And so then we just like run inside. Like we're running from an imaginary bear. Isn't that like what means when you're going to go struck by lightning? The national weather advisory, whatever, website is like, yes. That's when you're going to start. on end you got to they tell you to do some weird like get on your knees and like lean forward but like don't get on the ground oh yeah because also wet ground is really good for

conducting electricity which is always raining when it's sundering and lightning pretty much yeah yeah man last night it was raining cats and dogs oh i actually didn't i don't think it was raining at my house but i woke up and i saw alex's story she was like i'm in a hurricane when was that she was worried about ken's pontoon actually she was like ken's pontoon is up like i don't know what I was sleeping, I was like, it's fine. Like, what are we going to do? What was going to do? I was like, I mean, it'd be sitting outside in the rain at the shop or it'd be out here in the rain.

Oh, she was worried that it wasn't covered? I think partially, but I wasn't running out to cover it. A t-shirt? There's nothing to cover. That too. Just a cockpit and a chair. Yeah, so I wonder, why would lightning strike a human versus strike like a big telephone pole? Yeah, or a tree or something, way taller.

Yeah, something that would be taller. You know, I don't know. Wrong place, wrong time. Yeah, wrong place, wrong time is right. But like, my buddy, Nikki, great dude, but has terrible luck with his cars. We were talking about this weekend because the drunk driver sideswiped his car while I was parked on the side of the road. And then one of his friends was like, yeah, and he got struck by lightning.

He was driving down. In the same weekend? No. Oh. Not in the same weekend. Sorry, he was driving down the road in the summer like a couple years ago. In lightning struck his car. No.

Yeah. Fucking like shatter. the windshield, a bunch of crazy stuff. Did he feel it? Like, what, did it, was it like a coom or was it just like, it's zapped it and he didn't? Yeah, I mean, like, I don't think he got zapped, but it, like, I, I think I messed up his car. I feel like they don't just ruin any electrical component in the car. Like, that thing just has to be totaled.

Yeah, he was just driving down the highway, like around other cars, too, and semi- Was it a Tesla? It was not a Tesla. But he was okay. He was okay, yes. Well, I think he is. Man. So, yeah, I guess, like, how many people?

people a year get struck by lightning we always come back to the lightning i guess i'm always so curious by it i know it's so like lightning is very common and people are very common it's true lightning is all over the place people are all over the place but how often do they collide says in the u.s approximately 270 people get struck by lightning year so like one a day 19 fatalities in 2022 53 injuries so there's some people that straight up get zapped 53 injuries 53 injuries out of 200 some 23 deaths per year on average If you get struck by lightning

You have a 90% chance survival rate Wow That's like better than most That makes me feel good What's like the You guys should stay down Like is it how big the lightning strike is Or is it how old you are

Or what you're standing on Or like Probably a combination of all of those Comment if one of your family members Has gotten struck by lightning I wonder like you know I feel like everybody's got to know someone who knows someone.

I guess technically I'm. I guess technically Nikki. So then I technically know someone. Saying a park ranger got struck by lightning seven times. Dude, hang it up. I do you know he's not just fibbing. Quit playing out in the forest.

Yeah, like he comes back and he dropped his hat in the fire and goes, he got struck by lightning. And then he just had to really keep living up to the like hype of it. Yeah, like he was known as that guy. So then pretty soon he's like going out of his way. like holding up lightning rods

the buzz starts dying down from it you know people kind of forget who he is and he goes I gotta re-up my hype again wasn't Thomas Edison struck by lightning because he was holding the kite or something like that was Thomas Edison Thomas Edison with the light ball Was it Ben Franklin?

That's why did I think Ben Franklin too But I wasn't Ben Franklin was a president If you could be any old guy From history. That's Ben Franklin. Ben Franklin got stuck Wait Ben Franklin

Ben Franklin had the key What was the kite in the key His story isn't all this time But I still, like what? Yeah. What was the key there for? Apparently it was like a metal wire between the kite and the key. Dude, I feel like back then they were just doing things.

Oh, yeah. It was just like, fuck it, dude. I'm a national hero president. Was he? Doing all these things? What came first? The lightning strike or presidency? Okay, he did it in 1752.

He was the first. Oh, he never held the office of president. Really, when the fuck did I think he started doing that? How did he get on the $100 bill then? I think he was like the treasury guy. Oh, what a legend? Okay, what year did you do the treasury thing, then? Oh, no, he was the first postmaster general.

That hell's a postmaster general? I thought that's what you were, Ken. And how does that get you on the $100 bill? Like, that's the best one. I know. There's no other better one. And like, we obviously can't change it now, but like, yeah, you do got to wonder what he did. Like, George Washington makes sense.

Number one, he's on the number one dollar bill. Like, I've heard some good things about Abe Lincoln and he's on a penny. You know, I know. he's on a five too but kind of bullshit he got the penny he's a man a penny wait wait those are literally garbage to me but anyway like I just feel like they were out there

they were just testing out the world at that time yeah man what a time eating mushrooms doing whatever you know dude I was telling Greta this too I was like man who do you think the first person to like eat a watermelon was though every single food or fruit had to have been tested by somebody

sitting in your house eating your second watermelon of the day just going like Greg who do you think ate the first one of these i'm sure i don't know wherever it was naturally everything on earth had to have been ate at some point to see if it's edible or not how many things aren't edible how many guys like truly died from eating things that aren't edible i mean i'm sure a ton yeah throughout like who do you think was like this salad is good or that's poison ivy eating poison ivy that'd be that's a good point dude also everything looks like poison ivy like when you when you look when you walk into

the woods. I know some natureist is going to be like, no, you can tell by this, but like everything has three leaves. Everything looks a little shiny. Dude, for all my body's concerned, everything is poison. Dude, I'm down wind and I got that shit. So bad. Also, lake itch, dude. I've been getting lakeish. I got that bad this weekend.

Got her two times already. Yeah. No good. Just going back to the presidentials on the dollar bills. I really look up to Andrew Jackson because he's the only president in U.S. history to ever make our debt deficit go positive, okay, no debt. Isn't that crazy? The only president in history?

I don't actually know how he did it. It just always remember that. And just one guy, like back then there was actually a chance. Like, there's nothing you could do now to turn anything wrong. He actually took it from debt and then above and then ever since then we've just been out. Absolutely. Man. I still don't know how that's possible.

It was right after one of the worst financial crises in American history, the elimination of the national debt was both a personal issue for Jackson and the culmination of a political project as old as the nation itself. Oh, it was personal. So it was personal. But like, if someone tried to do that today, there's just not possible.

No. Which also seems insane. Is it possible for our country to ever be out of debt? No. And we're all just like, sick. Yeah. We should be good. Keep printing it.

Yeah. That'd actually be a sick hat, even though it's bad, like it's a bad policy, but just print more. They'll print more That's actually a pretty good That is pretty good I haven't seen it

Damn is that a good shirt They'll print more There was someone on the boat this weekend That was wearing a signed hat That said You elect that motherfucker Again And it was signed by Donald Trump

It's pretty legendary I was like that's fucking sick You're wearing that on the boat right now Like just in It's just not in a glass case That's good point That's pretty sick Yeah that's a flex
