You look like it. That's exactly what you look like. I'm going to be honest. I have no idea what that is. Ben didn't have cable TV when he was a kid. Oh, that's right. For a stint of time.

But you had direct TV. No, but when you were really little, I remember I went over to your house. Oh, Ben, you didn't watch SpongeBob? That was in Fargo, though. I can't believe you're too young to know what SpongeBob is. I genuinely feel bad. for people that didn't watch SpongeBob. I watched SpongeBob. I watched

SpongeBob. I feel like SpongeBob was like peak 2000s. So I actually might have watched more SpongeBob than you guys. You just don't know what the sounds are. There's no way. Yeah, I'm like, no way. No chance. You're probably right. No chance.

I feel like kids got robbed these days of good cartoons like that. Are you kidding me? They got YouTube now. That's true. That's true. Yeah. Just kidding. I was more so being sarcastic. but well and they have to go to YouTube because cartoons on TV probably are right now do they even have cartoons wait yes Ben they have is Nickelodeon still a thing

the universe is still there is at the Mall of America yes it still has been well when's the last time that you watched Nickelodeon Mr. I know everything about network TV still on I promise you that all right okay fair enough anyways welcome back to the life wide open podcast we just got back from Miami ironically enough Ryan, the one person who didn't go to Miami, is sick. Yeah, the fuck's up with that. Yeah, the whole weekend off. Actually, damn near a little more than that.

And what the hell are you up to? Yeah, what were you doing? Honestly, I kind of did nothing. It was nice. I finally got that week off that we'd been. We took a week and a half off the week before we loved. No, you took the week off. That's true.

That's true. So, yeah, I got my week off. But yeah, you would think the people that go to Miami would be the ones coming home sick. Honestly, Ryan, you didn't miss my mom. I thought it was quite a good time I don't know if you can say that to me I had the worst FOMO all week I was sitting here

It's freaking 40 below I blowed snow like six times Because that's all I had to do It does sound terrible Now that I'm thinking about it You might have actually And I watched like all the Marvel movies And the Spider-Man movies That sounds terrible

Yeah I mean it was fun I mean sure it was What else are you gonna do when it was It was as cold as it was Yeah but so you guys got to go to Florida And why was it not fun No, I'm like, we're going to chat with you for a minute. Don't get me wrong.

It was a great time. We've plenty of stories. Yeah, I mean, it was pretty eventful. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm not going to lie. I'm glad we left when we did, though, which we'll get into. Yeah, you guys. I mean, we might as well just dive right into it.

First off, though, thanks for 100K. I think this is the first podcast since we hit 100K. I think we're up to, what, 104, something like that. But thank you, guys. That means a lot. When we initially started the podcast, we were like, let's hit 100K. and then I think after that it will be a very organic growth because I think those first probably 100,000 people

came directly from the YouTube videos. And from here, maybe people might just know us for the podcast. I don't know. That would be wild. But anyway, thank you guys for 100K. Well, to start, I wrote down in my notes, I love the airport. I do love the airport.

Don't you guys? You want to know what I wrote down in my notes? how much the airport club that we're in sucks. Really? Yeah, so quite opposite of you. Oh, I feel like whenever we show up to the airport, we're all in a really good mood. Like, it's just like top of the line bullshit.

That's true. And like we're drinking and like it's something about the chaos of it. I think we like that. Like everyone's running around. They're late. And we're just like, you know, getting drinks. It's so fun, dude. And then we're always almost not to the planning time.

And Ken's freaking out. and we're laughing and we've gotten a lot better how does that we every single time every single time and ken is like the we call them our our travel advisor and we always say if if uh youtube doesn't work out ken will just go and just plan people's trips because he's good at it's so good at it and he's got travel agency he's got everything down to like the minute that you should be here you're going to pick up your car and you get your car from tasha the bags are getting dropped off here yeah That's just like, everything's lined up.

And that's about the complete opposite of how the rest of us travel, especially Mike. Mike got snapped at when we got to. Okay, that's the other thing. When you said, we're all in a good mood, blah, blah, blah. I think Ken has so much on his plate. And I hate to, like, again, talk about Ken,

since he doesn't have a voice currently, you'll probably hop on later. We love doing this. But it's like, as soon as we start traveling and for how frequently you've flown, it's like immediately your mood is just heightened. Ken is panicking. Okay. Yeah, he's like freaking out.

Dude, that was so, was that when we were leaving Florida? Well, for both. No, on the way there. But like both, it's like even when we landed in Minneapolis, we, I don't know, we just landed. We had to get our bags. He was so apprehensive. So, in a hurry. So, in a pissed off moon.

Micah. How long are you playing us in here? I don't know. It's like when Ken moves my car, 10 feet to, like, snowplow. He'll do my steering wheel. He'll move my. seat all the way back and like adjust the height the mirror the rear of me yeah the okay ben well your car you have the seat all the way forward so i have to move it just even

get in the seat why do you have to touch my steering wheel because it's also on my like i can't get my legs under it all right fair i'd rather have you do that than send my car through the garage door so okay so we get to the airport and shit and mike is just on his bullshit you know just doing the just being slow no i i will defend myself until You lose if you want to get after this. Okay. But we had an hour from the time we stepped through the airport door until the door shut in the plane. And I'm like, okay, we got to get our bags checked and through security immediately.

Right. And then we did that. No, but it's funny because we did that. You're missing a vital point of this part. So we're checking the bags and we got the tags and Ken gives us all the tags to put on our bag. And I'm sitting here. I don't know. I've never had it where we had to put it around.

I don't think Mike did either. or we have, but there was like this extra little piece on it. And Mike goes... All I said, do we need to keep this? And Kenes goes, literally all I said. Kenes goes, quit fucking around. We don't have time. We don't have time for this, Micah.

And Mike was genuinely asking, like, what do I do with the tag? Quit fucking around, Mike. And that was like early in the morning. And I was like, I get that we were in a hurry, but I wasn't holding anyone up. I wasn't holding anything up. You got to print the tags, and then you got to, like, drop them off and staying in the line to drop And then I said, and then I said, do I have time to go grab a mask? Because I didn't have a mask.

I hate that you have to wear a mask. That's what Ken goes, geez. And so then I didn't. I just held off. I said, fine. I'll get in trouble for no mask versus like. Getting in trouble by Ken. Yeah, I'd take a carrot over Ken any day.

But the funny thing. Well, I was going to say, yeah, you go ahead. The funny thing is the whole time I was like, I feel like we got plenty of time. And Ken's, we don't have time for this. He's freaking out. He's rushing. he's rushing we get through and as soon as we get you know into like the airport after you check your bags and get scanned and all that ken just dips off into his little VIP Delta

lounge i think you also went there too no i mean i just i wasn't worried about catching the flight yeah that's my point i wanted to go into the delta lounge to be have a minimum of two drinks i wanted a drink and some breakfast that's all i want a little mimosa like right but it was the fact that you were like yelling at me like we were going to miss the flight just so you could get into the Delta Club. Ken's also got pre-check or the TSA pre-check. So we're stuck in the back of the line like probably 30 minutes behind Ken anyways. And he's just walking through.

People are like pampering him along the way. Yeah, pre-check's nice. You can get pre-checked too. You just have to go there and do it. They just take your fingerprints. It just amazes me that you have all these different like little amenities to make your life easier. Actually, it doesn't amaze me at all. It makes complete sense knowing you.

Because then you don't have to take your shoes off. You don't have to take anything out of your bag. it just it's so much easier right no it's nice it was an interesting feeling having so all uh can cj i'm pretty sure ryan also has it they all have sky club or the delta car and i don't have that yet so you guys would go to the sky club and i would like well i don't know what to do i'm not going to go i didn't know what to do so i'd go to the gate and just sit and then it was funny like then i'd get bored and they'd start boarding people and i'd get on the plane and i'm like man this is so weird being before all you guys and then seeing you get on the plane and

it's like normally this would not be me but i didn't have anything to do yeah Ken's demeanor changed significantly in the Sky Club, though, Mike, I mean, he's in just the chipperess of mood. You know, he's just sitting there with his little fucking mimosa, and he's eating a muffin or a caramel roll. All right, so here's what I was going to say about the airport just kind of sucks. So we have these American Express credit cards. Okay, Ben. It'll add to the... Yeah, yeah, show it to the camera.

It's like... It's a number in there. so it's like a pretty nice credit card right and we and we always gave ken's shit for having one because he's had one for like five years right and we're like what do you need this like one pound credit card for ken and he'd always be like well the perks are incredible and i can do all these different things and at the time they they didn't mean shit because we didn't travel so i don't think you got to use most of the perks but can you've always lived this somewhat boozy lifestyle and then you find out mark okay well so mark has it the card the credit card costs

seven hundred fifty dollars a year so it's like if you don't use all the perks like literally every single perk you really don't get your seven hundred fifty dollars worth so it doesn't really make sense besides for the fact that we have started traveling more and and luckily we can fly for the longest time we had to drive like from sea to sea and now we have the luxury of flying Thank you guys for watching the videos because that is incredible. And I think the first time we flew, Ken got to go into his little lounge that he'd been talking about for the past like three years.

And we're like, what's going on in there? It's like all you see is just the doors open. And it's like pretty bougie. It's like it looks like paradise in there, right? And then they close and Ken comes out. He's just glowing. Well, it's like an open bar. You're not going to be excited about an open bar.

Right. So our friend Mark later tells us. I think after that trip, he was like, oh, yeah, I have one of these cards, too. And you signed up on the spot. Literally on the spot. Mark's a smart guy. He's one of those guys where you're like, oh. He's not going to waste money.

Yeah, yeah. Mark, you do that. It makes sense. Like, you do most of the things Mark does make sense, and it's not just because he's, no offense, but lazy and love the luxuries, Ken. I was like, okay, well, it's probably worth it then. So I think Ryan, Ryan doesn't have it. Do you? I've got the cheap, Delta, version.

Okay, so the Delta one, but that still doesn't get you into the Delta clubs is the weirdest thing. So me and CJ get it, right? So we get access to this luxury club. I expected it to be like top tier when you go in there. They greet you with like a warm towel. And it is pretty nice. I mean, you have, you get like free alcohol, free food. You're basically surrounded by a bunch of other people that think it's worth paying $750 for a, it's always like old, like older like 50.

plus like in business suits then you got us just like wearing no can do gear just fucking so now you're filming so every single time we go in there we just try and capitalize on as much as we can basically to get our $750 worth because I probably that's not the only perk you know that right right but I'm I can't see myself like using all like the hotel perks and things that you using an Uber credit every month I don't know so anyway so anyway as we're sitting in there we're like double fisting drinks and we're like filling up like four different plates but like the food is pretty bad and i mean that i guess you get drinks but you got to you got to get quite a few drinks to

make up for that that fee every month but i was sitting there or every year but i was sitting there and i was just thinking man you got all these people in here paying 700 bucks a year and this is like the shittiest meal it's like if you got like i would compare it to like uh lunch food and like in high school lunch food. I was like, dude, all these other like high rollers, boogey ass people, you could get a better meal

anywhere else in the airport and they give you this? I was like, what is this? But it's just, you're just like a part of a club. Like if you can't drink or if you don't drink, I see absolutely no point in no point.

You go for the booze, not the food. But what's the point if you don't drink? Well, then it's just, it's quiet in there. It's nice and quiet compared to like, it's nice and quiet compared to like, the rest of the airport and then kind of i don't know so that to be in that noisy airport yeah so that's what i was thinking i was like i don't know if i'm ever going to sign up for this again so i'm

going to i'm going to get every dollars worth for this next year but uh it is cool it is like a kind of like a bougie experience and now i'm just in that you got literally you're like you're like you should get it and then you're like it's not even worth it i go back and poor yeah what do you think c j i mean i like it would you do it again Just for that? Dude, I've fucking drank those people out of business. Like, honestly, I think I've already got my money back. When I go to the airport, I'm fucking,

every time the airport, the plane's about to land, I'm like, fucking, like, I literally think I'm going to have to take the paper bag out every time. I contemplate it. That's probably not good then. Well, I just make sure I get my money's worth. Yeah. Well, it's considering, like, I'm having a great time until we land. Like a normal beer in the airport's like 15, 20 bucks.

So you get two drinks. Yeah. It's like going to. Vegas and gambling and getting free alcohol and doing that instead of just walking around the casinos and paying for drinks. Right. I'd say it's kind of the same equivalent. I'd say it's worth it.

It's fun. If you guys kept it though, and I was sitting out there, you'd hate it. Imagine Mike gets it and you guys just don't tell me in the first trip, everyone has it but me then. I'd have such fomo. Mike, you can handle that stuff way better than I can. Like what? Like fomo, like just missing.

Yeah. That's different. though. Ben, you do know that credit card also pays for your pre-check membership, right? Yeah, you're right. So anyway, this podcast is sponsored by American Express. I'm like, how long are we going to talk about this special card boys? Okay, so we land down to Miami.

We head to the beach. We're like, holy frick, this is going to be insane. I'm just assuming Miami is going to be wild because it's supposedly, you know, this next craziest place along with Vegas. So we land down, we head straight there, just Puerto Rican women, Latinas everywhere. Like, we were easily the minority. I felt like everyone was looking down on us because we were like just some white men. We're like, disgusting.

You know? I don't know. But anyways, so we go and get crab. We're like, okay, we got seafood. So we go to this crab shack sitting there. We're eating. And it's like a gate. I see we're watching all the people walk by.

And I see this guy come walking by. and there's two like adults like bigger men and they got like chains on and then there's three kids following them in a line and they have these boxes of like candy like full size candy bars and uh and i'm like what the frick are they doing i don't know i thought it was a little weird maybe they were eating it for dinner i don't fucking know they're a little bit rough around the edges they and all of a sudden like i watched him walk by and then all of a sudden the kid is at our table and he's got a full size he's got this box goes oh hi like would you like to donate to a our school fundraiser and I'm like looking at this kid like there's no fucking way this money's going to your school fundraiser but whatever that's all right yeah I don't care we'll we'll support I go to take some money out all I had was a hundred bucks I was like I'm not giving this kid a hundred dollar bill Mike of course though he had some like he had like five or ten or something so he buys some candy bars from him like yeah you know being nice so do the exchange right as the kid's leaving grabs my fucking phone grabs my phone starts trying to

trying to walk off with it. And I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, snatch that shit out of his hand. I'm like, what, what are you doing? He goes, oh, uh, I'm sorry, I thought it was, I thought it was my phone. I was like, it was bullshit, totally picked us out because they walked through the whole restaurant, walked past everyone because we were on the end and just came straight to us. And it's because I was sitting on like the walkway part and I had my phone right there.

They totally scope me out, you know? So anyways, I was like, holy frick, that would have. sucked if I got my phone jacked, whatever, the kid kind of just darted off. And, but, uh, but yeah, they tried jacking my phone. Oh, fuck. Did Micah get his $5 back? And I'm like, give me that five bucks back. No, he just hit it. And we just had the candy bars, but, damn. So that was our first, like, our South Beach, whatever. Yeah, in Miami. Um, but it was, yeah, so that was that. Dude, I can see how easy it'd be for these, these kids to just walk the strip. And even if they weren't selling something to the people because so there's this road and then a bunch of different

hotels along the road so you're basically just eating on the sidewalks of this road that they close down so it's just like foot traffic everywhere it's just people walking like crazy and there's so much people watching you can you can sit at your table and then just watch the street and uh there's just the the culture there you do you got just so many different people coming to one area hardly any english is spoken yeah hardly any english right but There's just so much going on. Like, we were sitting at lunch on the last day, and you had this crackhead that was dancing for, like, three hours straight.

It was honestly impressive that he just kept going. We sent Mike in there to dance with him. Of course. Mike loves dancing. And then we had a, while the crackhead was dancing, we had a kid that was wheeling down the street that had no front tire. He just had, he just straight up. No, no, no, on like a bicycle.

Goes around the block over and over. Yeah, dude, he was just wheeling back and forth. And then the restaurant next to us, there was like a drag show. Like a dude dressed as a woman. I'm so glad we weren't eating at that place. I just sucked. You're eating your expensive-ass meal. They're like trying to twirking in a woman fucking moving on you.

I'd have hated that. So there's like so much happening all at once, right? And you're, I mean, all while you're eating, right? So you're not really thinking about like your purse sitting at your feet or your phone at the end of the table. We learn real quickly keep this shit in your pocket. I mean, if you're a local or if you have been there once before, you probably. Yeah, but you don't look like such suckers. Yeah, we looked like suckers, honestly.

We did. But if you know what to expect, I guess you kind of, you know, protect yourself from being the guy that gets his shit stolen, right? But for us, like, dude, we're from Minnesota, corner of Minnesota. We're pretty trusting, trusting young lads, right? Yeah, they spotted us out from a mile away, right? So to preface, we were there because we went to go film with this jet ski razor thing.

I don't know if you guys follow us. on Instagram, but it's like this contraption. You'll see it in a future video. And we went up to Palm Beach, which is where, like, Jeffrey Epstein, like, live, like, he lived, like, seven minutes from where we were at. Wow. It was, like, the richest part of Florida, I think. One of them up there with Miami, but it's, like, the houses, like, Jeffrey Epstein's

fucking insane houses, dude. Yeah. Wow. That's where Trump has his Marilago resort and a bunch of celebrities have houses. is up there and like dude once we got to the ocean there was yachts dude the size of our shop and I was like dude these are insane

and the guy we were with those are nothing I was like that's a big boat man yeah yeah it was wild it was better than the lake around here I'm not gonna lie really like because it was dude we went to the sandbar there wasn't that many people there but we were just there at the wrong time of the year and probably day but like it's insane

like the ocean and like we there's no way we'd be able afford a fucking house on the water there. But if you could, I don't think it could be any better. Millions upon millions of millions of millions where we were, yeah, 50 million dollar homes. 20 mills.

It's like along the huge. So way different than frickin Sarasota where we were. Right, right. Way different. Yeah, such a different like boogeier area. I think like the people that can't afford Miami probably go. No, no, I wouldn't say that.

The people that probably want it like quieter than Miami go there. So probably like the Uber rich. And, um, yeah, It was like a really boogey area. But anyway, so we're there up to film. If you've seen it... It's called Shadow Six Racing. Have you seen that on TikTok or Instagram?

It'd be hard not to if you're in any of the scene that we're on. We've gotten tagged in it so many times and people have sent it to us so many times to be like, yo, you guys should like hit this guy up. But it's basically two jet skis with a razor built on top of the jet skis. So the dude... It's super fast. Super fast.

Yeah, it was insane. but the dude that built it basically just like made a TikTok once he finished building it took a video of it sitting in his garage and then that was like the first thing that went viral and the next day it had like 8 million views but I saw that video the day he posted it and then just DMed him on C Boy's Instagram and I was like yo this thing is so cool like we're YouTubers from Minnesota it'd be it'd be awesome if we could come and film this thing and we were the first people to reach out to him. So he was like the, you know,

honored our words. Honored the word of, because he responded. First converser, basically. Wow. Well, he responded and was like, everybody in the cousin. Oh, dude.

He's trying to ride with them now. Yeah, I mean, he said he had people like Mark Wahlberg and like Post Malone and like a bunch of like big dogs, like hitting them up trying to buy one. But post Malone? What does Post Malone want it for? Well, because Pose Malone isn't, he, like, lives in Utah and love doing stuff like that. Yeah, I mean, they're just. dudes that have like insane amount of money and it's kind of like one of those like fuck you toys so

is it like all the snapchats are from super far away is this thing actually like legit put together or is it more than a couple bolts it took it took seven years to build this thing and the guy that built it you would think he's an engineer he wasn't an engineer he was just like a dude that had a lot of money and wanted this uh contraption basically for for himself he wanted it to be like like a one of one and he just wanted to have it at the lake because he was like at the ocean or sorry on the ocean but he was like i didn't plan for anyone to ever be like oh i want you to make me one of those he just built it just for himself to have and then like posted a tic-tok and everyone was like i want one of those now right but to answer your question it was more legit than you'd ever even

expect it cost like over 250 000 to build right and he's just obviously got a shitload of I think more into it. But it was like unbelievably, like, well done. Everything looked like you literally bought it from Polaris or bought it from Yamaha. It didn't look like custom-fabbed. You want to hear the craziest part, too? Two jet skis, wave-runner, wave-runner, and then he built the razor on top. It's not a razor.

He just built, like, a buggy, and then he just bolted razor panels to it. What? Like, he built it with all the same mounting points, which just didn't. It didn't make any sense. I was like, so what did you do with like the motor? Did you buy a totaled razor? He's like, no, it's not a razor. We built the cage and then put razor stuff on it.

What? That part was a crazy part. I think that's maybe actually the key to success is looking like a razor. It looks like the guy just bolted it on. If he went and tried to make all his own panels, I think it might look corny in a sense. Yeah, it would look like, oh, yeah, that's custom built. Yeah. Which obviously the entire thing is.

But like when you see the fricking razor on top of two jet skis, was it smooth? Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, it still had, like, full suspension, basically on top of these jet skis. So picture a jet ski, and as you're riding a jet ski, like, there's basically no suspension. It's obviously just your legs and your arms working, right? So it's this razor then had, you know, like fully built box suspension on top of it. So the razor is doing this on top of the jets.

So the jet skis will go, and the razor will take the waves or bumps or whatever. Just like a side-by-side. And then there's a seat on the inside. So it was basically like two seats in one. It was a bench seat versus bucket seats. And then that had a shock underneath the seat too. So then the seat then took some of the brunt. But the first thing we noticed when we jumped in or when I hopped in was like, where's the seatbelts?

It didn't have seatbelts? I guess it kind of makes sense. You're like a bow. You don't strap to yourself into a boat. That's initially what I thought, too. I was like, oh, yeah, it makes sense. You don't want to be strapped to an anchor, basically. And he was like, no, you just don't need them.

And I was like, don't need them. He was like, yeah, the, what did he say? The Gs, you know, the force. Yeah. The gravity will just hold you in. And I was like, damn, I wouldn't think that would work. He was like, no, it works really well. I was like, okay.

Well, that's pretty cool. So anyway, we're just like docking over this thing. But I want to go back to the point of like he, so when he reached or when we reached out to him and we were like the first people to ask for permission to film this thing basically because before it was just him like taking some iPhone videos of it like going up and down this pond that he had behind his house and there's nobody basically no other like YouTubers or really anyone else had filmed this thing. So I was like, oh, it would be so cool to be like kind of the first people. to be able to do that so that's when he was like i want to honor my word like you guys can be the first so yeah really really cool for him to do that because he's a super busy guy um for him to just honor us you know being like yo whenever you give us the okay so like we got the okay on like a tuesday we flew out wednesday filmed it thursday super last minute but um yeah i mean we really didn't

know like what to expect going into it because nobody had filmed anything with it and uh we I obviously wanted to do a good job because I think this is probably going to be a really good video and do really well. Man, it was hard. It was so hard to film. Dude. I saw freaking CJ on the back of a jet ski. Everything about it, dude. We just got thrown into it.

So we drop it in the ocean and this guy tears off. This thing is so fucking fast. It accelerates faster than a Lamborghini. 600 and each ski. It's like two super fast jetsky. So it just tears off and we're on these jet skis. Ken's driving. I'm on the back with one hand hole.

a $5,000 camera set up. The other hand holding onto a little strap. We're in the ocean. The ocean is freaking rough, dude. And it's so weird because you'd be on the jet ski and you'd be like kind of on like a roller wave. So you'd be up here. And then the other person would be like down here.

It's so strange at times. Yeah. And we're flying. This guy, maybe he just, it probably hasn't done much filming before. So we didn't quite understand like try to stay around the camera. Just fucking tears off. Ken's trying to catch him on fucking boom.

Boom. boom hold on this camera if it drops it's done yeah that's all i'm thinking like i mean five grand down the toilet and you don't have a camera to and all the footage and all yeah it was honestly very nerve-wracking and pretty scary um ended up not dropping the camera thankfully yeah so we go and we mob it and whatever and basically that was kind of it well you guys will just have to watch the video or is there anything else you want to say on it but i mean that thing was genuinely compared to the jet skis we were on we're on this the base like c-dos it was probably three times as fast as our jet skis like i'm wicked and then i was like how

fast were you going is i don't know like third throttle i'm just wicked just trying to catch up to him but it was super fast that's what i think it liked to do the most it was so funny though because he kept saying it didn't need a seatbelt and he hits this wave weren't you guys jumping it yeah yeah like folded up into like the room well he was wearing a helmet and i was like what are you wearing a helmet for man Like, I don't have a helmet on. I don't have a seatbelt on. And this dude, what's he know that you don't?

Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, do you need a helmet? Look, what are you worried about? And he was like, no, no, no, no, I don't need a helmet. But the internet just thinks I'm reckless for not wearing one or something like that. And I was like, oh, okay. Well, about 15 minutes later, it just takes the roof of the razor just straight to the dome going over these.

It was like his back, bro. He folded up into that thing. I zoomed in on the thing on my phone. he was very he's not like very he wasn't on social media before this whole endeavor and like a lot of for some reason if you guys look at the comments on he's like they're very like naysayer haterish oh are they yeah like i would say more than almost like 50% when i thought i was just stoked like this thing's badass looks fast he's doing a really good job making it look professional people are just like that's not going to work like i'm like come on give him a little bit of

a break here are you going to build one yourself it works amazing but uh yeah he took a lot of those comments to heart and we're like, bro, you don't even worry about them. You built a badass which you don't even sweat them. But yeah, people tell them to wear a helmet. People tell them this isn't going to work or to do this. But one thing it needs is seatbelts.

Once I got in there, oh, it doesn't need seatbelts. We hit the jump. Just tossed around. Oh, no. I don't have like the water shoes on either, so I'm like jamming my feet up against it. And then like, we smack and my hand starts bleeding. And like, I didn't tell them to slow down because I

we wanted to set a dude i don't know i'm just like i need something i'm like a grab bar maybe he's like yeah we're still in the works i'm like just a grab bar would be great that's true and it is still kind of like a prototype like first one ever made so nobody had probably ridden passenger with him not going that harder uh going that harder jumping it and and so we were like kind of the test dummies which is it's the cost of being like the first ones to do it but yeah we're like yeah i don't know maybe seatbelts or harnesses or at least grab handles yeah yeah is he gonna like sell these things i don't think so well that is the other thing is he was like dude the people that want to buy these can obviously afford it because they want to buy them to put on the front of their yachts on top

their yachts on top of their yachts to basically just have like a one of 20 or a one of 10 thing in the world like not very often can you even do that anymore and he was like, yeah, I could probably charge like $250,000 for him. So he was like literally like Lamborghinis on the water. Yeah. Well, he'd have to do. That shit is not cheap to build. We're like, dude, you could probably charge more than that for the people, the

clientele that would buy something like that. I don't give a fuck. $250,000 drop in the bucket. Do you imagine having a boat big enough that you can put a side-by-side on it? The boat, you should have seen it, right? I mean, they were fucking yachts. Yeah, they were in a huge. And he was a little jet ski next one, just like, weaving.

He wasn't going to build them for people. and then when you get guys like that that are like, what do you want me to pay? I just want one. Yeah. It's hard to say no. So obviously a bunch of people are going to hate on anywhere near that price. It's not for those people, you know?

No. It's not. I would say it's honestly worth it. Like, it's cool. Dude, it's literally a one of one machine. Right. And it took the guy seven years to make. Like, how do you put a price on that?

And that's not how long it would take to make another one. To make another one. Yeah. He does everything's built out of titanium. because it doesn't rust. I didn't really know that, I guess. But, yeah, he's like, you could really drop a piece of titanium in the ocean

and nothing happens to it. Oh, yeah. It makes sense. Again, if you're paying that much and spending that much time building it, it makes sense to just put all the best parts on it. Yeah, it was sick of. So we get done filming that.

We're in Palm Beach. We go out and, like, we're basically just getting drinks and dinner or whatever. It's like a bunch of old, rich people. We like go out and get drinks and stuff, we all, like, went pretty hard and, uh, end up, like, coming back and we, we wake up the next morning. Keep in mind, we have three more days of staying here in Miami or Palm Beach, whatever. We're going to go back to Miami now the next day, or that day. And we're just like,

uh, like. Yeah, Friday. You guys came home Friday night. Yeah, basically. So it was like a two-day little thing. So we head to Miami now just to go mess around because that's where we're flying out of. and we start filming the people, you know, like hanging out, just walking around, checking it out. Oh, my gosh. This is when our second occurrence of possibly getting robbed happened. What? This one was actually, this one was way sketchier.

Yeah. So we go to the beach and we meet this guy and he sees we're holding the camera. And keep in mind, this beach is fucking weird, dude. It's like a public-ass beach. And there's, like, girls walking around with no top on. it was fucking weird i don't know how that was i figured the cops were going to come or something no one even bad an eye it was the weirdest thing i'm not going to lie so anyways we this guys come up to us they're like selling weed and like uh like selling drinks and stuff which is probably

illegal they're hustling out of a cooler they're hustling yeah i mean yeah probably illegal one chick walking around with basically a cooler selling like bags of alcohol and then the other dude next to them selling weed or joints they were they were nice guys though i like their energy. And they come up and they're like, yo, you, you YouTubers and they're talking to us and all that. And he's like, I'm going to make you go viral. I don't think they understood, like, to what degree we were

like, obviously we're not, we're not big, but like, I don't think they realized just that we were, you know, had a million subscribers or anything like that. They maybe just thought we were just a couple of kids walking around filming with a camera, which I mean, technically we are. But anyways, he goes, I'm going to make you go viral. I'm going to make you go

viral, this one guy. He's like, got this Jamaican accent. He's like, the best Yeah, yeah, I loved his energy. Very easy to film with. Yeah, great. And he's like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, want me to climb a palm tree and, and get you some coconuts? And I was like, yeah, sure. So we go up and find this palm tree, which is like right next to kind of like the road slash like where a lot of people are walking by. It's on the strip, basically. Yeah. Yeah. This dude climbs this palm tree. Had to been, what, 40, 50 feet high? In like 10 seconds.

Easily scaled it so fucking fast. Two stories high. Two stories high. And it, it was higher than that, bro. It had to been fucking three. He climbed it like there was like a ladder like a straight up ladder built onto this tree when it was just like it was like kind of curved

and he was like just barefoot and yeah literally so he climbs up this tree scales it so fast and it starts with just us sitting there watching him

pretty soon there's a crowd in the crowds keeps building this guy starts kicking down coconuts he gets up there he gets up there and he just it's like

creates residency up there bro he's like just sitting there on the king of the world I'm the king of the world. I'm Jamaican Tarzan, man. Yeah. He's like just sitting in this palm tree, like comfortable as me and you sitting here.

kicking these heavy-ass coconuts down. And they're breaking when they hit the ground. So he's like, you need to catch him. You need to catch him. Ben tries catching him. We all know Ben really can't catch a fucking football. It's like a bowling ball. Yeah.

So now he's tried catching a heavy ass. It was heavier in a bowling ball. That shit was heavy. Yeah, so coming from two stories up. And so anyways, I end up getting in the place to catch him. And all these people are gathered around watching. and his buddies over there like fucking film it like yeah my boy how is it how is it up there like all this and then and then pretty soon they catch wind the cops are coming oh shit so i like yelp'm like yo yo

we got to like you got to get down i want this guy to get in trouble yeah the cops are coming so he kicks a couple more down grabs on the fucking palm tree like leaves that hang down starts swinging around the thing like he's kicking off from the tree and he's holding just the branches the leaves are holding him and he's just swinging around he's like turning and he's like, I don't remember what he was yelling because I was in shock. I'm the Jamaican Tazan, man. Everyone is like Superman.

People are like behind like, oh, he's got to fall. Yeah, I'm like, dude, just get down. You guys are holding their film and I'm doing it. So he gets down, fucking all these people start trying to like take the coconuts and this guy's whole vibe changes like this. He like goes into like, I don't even know.

Just hustler. I don't even know. It was like, it was the biggest change I've ever seen. He goes, grab, the coconuts grab the coconuts so i grab the coconuts you know and he's like uh if you go get a knife i can cut it up for you or whatever so i'm thinking so now this is where my wheels start turning i'm like okay we got all these coconuts and he like grabs all the coconuts i don't know if we weren't supposed to have them but he dips he's like like he's like come like wants us to

follow this guy's just shooting across traffic he's darting across traffic well we go dude let's go to a store and get a get a knife of machete yep and And then let's go and sell these coconuts. Exactly. That was my whole, my whole idea was, okay. Start up a little business. I go, if you bring me to the store, I'll buy you a knife, and we can cut them up and sell them on the beach.

And he was, like, down. But he goes, anyways, he must not have thought us buying a knife was a good idea. He wanted to get his own knife. Okay. So he starts darting across traffic. We're chasing them. And it's all of us. We're holding these fucking heavy-ass coconuts.

They're dropping shit and picking them up. And we start getting pretty far off the strip. For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio.

dot com slash wide open back to the pod you know like we're not in the tourist area now and i keep looking at ben with the camera and he's like how much farther we're going like we both like kind of had our like our you know guard something was was maybe little off here so we're still following like if he tries going to like an apartment or an alley we'll just we'll just like kind of dip and say like amen but he tears he turns off into this like smoke shop they like a vape shop or whatever so oh great like we're going into a business good you know so uh we turn in and keep in we're like rushing because it started raining at that time too right and we turn in and we're carrying these coconuts and there's two like big black dudes at the door and we turn it

i didn't think anything of it i thought they were just waiting well then we walk in there's like Four more in there. Like very large dudes. And one of them was a dude who was leading the pack for the cell phone. No. The cell phone thieves. Dead ass, dude. I look at him.

I go in my head, I'm like, fuck. Dude. And the first thing he says, he just sees the camera and goes, that's a nice ass camera. I'm like, oh my God. So I'm the one standing there holding the camera. And I'm like. I hear him go, that's a nice-ass camera. He's just looking at the camera.

And I'm like standing there. And I was thinking about just being like, it's not real. It's not worth anything. Keep in mind this Jamaican guy that we had the coconut's with. Now he's like on the ground over in the corner like brushing the sand off. Like it was very strange. It kind of reminds me like a crack addict.

But so he's like doing that. He probably wasn't. I hope he wasn't. But he's brushing off the sand. He's not particularly. protecting us at all or like you know like they're with me you know making sure we're good these guys are just looking at us and they're kind of like you know and i remember i look and there's this girl there and she just like like like kind of like smiled and like like like but it was like a face like

oh i feel bad for them and like looked away because i think she knew like they were going to probably it felt like we were going to get robbed they were going to like slug us take the camera or just take the camera um which honestly at that point we had so much good footage i'd have just They're like, just give me the memory card. I just need the memory card. But we're in there for probably 30 seconds, maybe a minute. And as soon as Ben and I saw the first chance to dip, we both just look at each other and without saying anything,

we're out the fucking door. Keep in mind, it's just, it was me, Ben, and Micah in there. Well, hold up. He says it. I was like, without saying anything, left my ass. Well, okay, but, well, Mike, you got to be more intuitive. We're about to get raw. No.

Mike, Mike, come on, Mike. It was interesting. It's time to go. I have to hold your head out of this. there i was like picking up on that but like i know i were you were you sketched out mike when he said the camera shit is okay because you but you heard that and so i knew that you guys went outside i literally went to go put the coconuts in the fridge because that's where the i was so confused put the coconuts in the fridge because that's where there was more coconuts in there too we were

like oh this guy's hard man but uh next thing i knew you guys were gone and so then i just because he said it again right he goes and then he doubled down he might have to do a trip he goes, seriously, that's a nice ass camera. He had like gold bottom teeth. Not that that means anything, but it was so we dip out of there. Ben and I, like, we're like, we got to get the fuck out of here. So we start

going down the strip. The whole thing, besides for just that guy, though, the whole vibes, like there was like two, there's like two big guys standing at the door, like garden the door. I didn't think we're going to like make it out honestly. I thought they're going to stop us. It was a weird, it was a weird vibe. Like, it wasn't just that one dude. We slipped out so

quick and quietly. That's why it worked. Like, if we would have been like Mike time to go like as if any other time we try to leave dude I can totally see Mike chopping it up with them going yeah look just got the new iPhone well for the record for the record I was chopping it up with him and that's why I was

okay you want to know something though I don't think they thought you were with us because you were like he was dressed kind of like he fit in he was wearing like a Chicago Bulls jersey he was smoking with him and fucking like he was chilling dude he didn't look like Ben and I

Like, and he didn't, it was almost like you didn't walk in with us. You were either a little bit behind her. And he didn't give off, he didn't give off sketched-out vibes. And me and CJ were probably just sitting there and just have a camera or a backpack on. I'm sure they just looked at you like, oh, we're not going. You almost looked like a local. And I was still like very confused, but like I knew where we were going. I just didn't know as quite as far away as I thought.

He was like, hey, we're going to my buddies smoke shop. But then when we roll in there, like the only white guy in the whole vicinity was the smoke shop owner. Which that doesn't matter. Well, I'm not, no, but it was just funny because he looks at me. He's like, what are you guys doing? I'm like, I don't know what's going on. If you want to take these coconuts on the fridge after we leave, I don't know what's going on. Just gets his fridge stuff with coconuts by this guy.

Sandy-ass coconuts. Right, they were all sandy. I do have to preface this. When homie was in the tree, we didn't know his name, right? So he's up in the tree getting the coconuts, kind of a little flashback. We were like, shoot, we don't even know this guy's name. We didn't know, what's your name? and I dead ass think he just came up with a name on the spot.

What did he say? I don't think he pulled it out of his ass. No, he was like, uh, they call me maestro. Yeah, that's a great name for him. And so that was his name, maestro. But it was like, even when I was in the shop, I was like, do you know maestro? And he was like, uh, yeah. It was weird though because so we dip out of there and Mike's in there and we're like,

fuck Mike. So I'm trying to call Mike, tell him like, dude, like dip, dip, you know. In the meantime, Ken, of course, nowhere to be found. He followed back. He didn't fucking follow us. The biggest motherfucker with us doesn't have our back. Nope.

He just, we end up finding him fucking kind of just browsing the area. Yeah, once you guys trying to run into Ted was like, he was out. He was out. And then, uh, so I saw, you know, you get a block or two off the strip and I saw like the whole, you know, the scenery, the landscape change from like, this is a tourist area to this is like a sketchy name. neighborhood area. And I was like,

well, we had our guards up to, but, and we weren't going to go much further when you went in the smoke shop, I felt good. Also, you guys buzzed through like

a green light full of traffic. Yeah, we were chasing after him. And we were trying to get that fucking content. You know, I was like eight feet behind you. And by the time I get to traffic, it's just solid cars.

I'm like, oh, CJ, can you imagine we walk back and we're like, what's going on here? Yeah, some idiot walked down

and got hit by a Toyota Camry. Wait, he's only like, oh, Ken never even made it to this. No. No, but we see him, and we're in a panic. Ken was like a block and half away.

And literally by the time the light turned like red so I could actually cross the street, you guys are just bolting down trying to run away from these guys. And Ken thought we were pulling a prank on him. He's like, what, what? And we're like, because like we were honestly kind of nervous and like he thought we were maybe pranking on him, but he was also like, well aware possibly at what could have happened. I wasn't sure if they were going to start chasing after us. Yeah, that's why you were like, at that point I was like, I was probably running.

And Ken is like, what's going on? And we're like, run Ken. And the part I thought was extra. Another part I thought was suspicious was his buddy was like pretty overweight. I mean, he was a big boy. His nickname was Biggs. Yeah, he was very overweight. He did not run either.

And he was walking towards the smoke shop as we, Ben and I bolted. And it was like we were meeting him on the sidewalk. And like we had just spent the last while with him. So obviously he knows, recognize us. But he like did like one of these like, like turn and look the other way like almost as if he maybe thought like oh fuck they might have already gotten

like robbed or something I didn't even think about that yeah but he like acted like he didn't fucking know it's like looked the other way and shit thought that was a little weird but anyways we dip out we get back to like the main area and we hide out in this like little beach bar thing

we're calling around we finally get Mike Mike dips out of there and yeah I just they were all like yo yo friends left you what's up with that and I was like I don't know I don't, I don't even know what I told them. I'm just like, yeah, I just figured I'd chill with you guys.

And because I'm like, because it's raining so hard. And it was it was like classic Florida, just pouring. And then. No, it was Maestro that asked you. Well, yeah. One other guy did too. And Maestro was just like, so should we go find them then? Like, you got their location, right?

And then I was like, yeah, I got it. Mike's like, should I share it with you? Yeah. And then he like, he like, went back inside. I'm like, yep. And I was just gone. Yeah. Never to be seen.

We went pretty far into this bar Just to make sure Like if they do find us Right, you guys were hidden I don't think they were like Searching after us after that I wasn't worried about it then Yeah

I knew they weren't going to do anything then But yeah a lot of people When we were walking around with the camera Like locals be like That's a pretty nice camera I'm gonna be walking around here Like shit like that board Is running around being goofballs

Yeah in hindsight On the beach Like when you have a nice camera With a big mic on it People kind of gravitate towards it Yeah that's why I knew it would be good If we took it out Because I knew characters like that were going to just, they were going to congregate to us.

Because people that, like, I don't know, I just knew they would want to be on camera, interact with you, or they'd be curious. And it literally took, like, a minute. Like, I mean, we already met these characters. We literally made it from the beach. Yeah, from, like, the mangroves to, like, the water. And we found those guys. Yeah.

It took no time at all. So, yeah. I mean, and I don't want to, like, presume they were going to rob us, but I think they were going to rob us. If the guy who was trying to steal your cell phone The previous day They would have And it's like

And it's like You can obviously be like Oh Maybe it was an accident And he did think my phone was his Doubt it Doubt it It didn't seem that way

And I'm pretty good To read people And then when we were in there It happens to be the fucking dude That was leading all the kids And he's saying That's a nice ass camera fucking Dude it was

Staring at it Like salivated And like the one lady Like I just I could tell But maybe Maestro would have stood up for us And we would have been okay I don't know

I feel like all those people are all like intertwined I don't think Maestro was trying to like set us up though I think that wasn't his plan It was just we just happened to follow him into his spot Which maybe he somewhat works with those people Or just is around them And he probably wouldn't I don't know if he would have had our backs

When he tried jacking the camera He was pretty pretty interested in his coconuts He was just fucking sanding him off on the floor The poor smoke shop owners got sandal over this floor, no. We were just more so out of our element, like, surrounded by a bunch of people. We didn't know, we didn't know their intentions is the biggest thing. It didn't seem. And who knows, maybe they would have been like, oh, these guys are cool.

Let's not rob them, but also maybe they would. Well, they kicked it off with Mike after we left. Right, because they found out how many Instagram followers I had. And then I let a call, like, yeah, I'll follow you, bro. Because, you know, I can always go on and follow them. And then one guy, like, uh, big. Biggs is like, you go out and follow my boy, and he grabs my phone and follows, like, three accounts. All right.

Well, come on, man. What are you doing? I was surprised you gave him your phone. I just figured, so, I guess, moral of the stories, no. When they found out you had clout. Well, I know. You know, that you... No, but moral of the story is, one of these days it will bite me in the butt.

Like, I'll say that before you guys, you guys would agree. Like, one of these days, I think it's going to bite me in the butt, but it's like, I think I was noticing that the guy was eye in a the camera, but I guess in my head, I'm like, but what are they really going to do? Step up on us and say, yo, hand me the camera? Absolutely could happen. I think they were just going to slug us or do just give me the fucking camera. And so then after talk, what are you going to do? And keep in mind, most of it, he was eyeing up the camera in the smoke shop, but the

smoke shop owner was so chill. I'm like, they're really going to do this, like, in public? Keep in mind, kind of ghetto area, but in public in front of this dude where there's definitely cameras in the shop, they're going to do this? I don't know. But hindsight, good thing you guys did. I don't know. I mean, it was like two days later

And he was still wearing the same shirt I guess it would have been a day later But So my mom called me She was in the car with my grandpa And you know, it's all over the phone And so She's talking

She goes, did you almost get robbed in Florida? Grandpa said you got robbed in Florida And I like kind of snap And I was like, what? Nope, they didn't get robbed in Florida like whatever Then I go on Instagram And I see the caption is Almost got robbed in Florida

Oh yeah And then I was like Oh, that's probably what they mean and then now my grandma's going to listen to this podcast and go they did almost get robbed because I was like no they did not get robbed what the no it was kind of like sassy backs and I feel like a real idiot I didn't realize it was no wonder you guys wanted to leave I mean it was just it we really had not much left to if we weren't going to film something good there and I felt like we had we damn near got robbed filmed it all on camera fucking we're catching coconuts we film the whole

jet ski thing at that point we were just going to hang around drink and blow money which was literally we were already blowing like it was like 300 bucks so for drinks every time we went like and we were going all these stops not was that coming out of kent's paycheck or everybody do ken did no ken did pay for god damn i shouldn't have brought it up anyways no we were we were i mean i just like it just seems like we don't have a whole lot more to gain here as much as i love having a good time if we had the whole crew with then we probably would have like it would have been a blast but i just felt like we we did our job it was a business business this trip and we didn't have a lot of fun too at the same time so yeah i gotta say being at home

watching like i was like salivating i was like micah post more stories i think a message at least for sure micah it was like send me more videos of this thing and then nobody did and i was like damn i feel like i'm so on the outside right now god damn it wait ken what the fuck you want a hundred dollars for miami drinks it was four hundred twenty five dollars for that well yeah for what even for what it went from 3.30 to 4.25? I know there's a tip. Also, Ken, this dude over here, so we spent 500 bucks sitting there for an hour? 4254 plus I had to add a tip on that. Okay, so that's why I was like, no, did you have to add a tip?

Okay, so another thing that they do in Miami is they... Oh, you Christ, I got hat again. You got, what? I got hat again. Yeah, why can you pick again? I'm not doing it. I'm not paying that. That's on you, that was on you. What just happened? Okay, so the first night we go out to dinner, the first night we go out to dinner. So we put it all on one tab, or they actually, they don't even give you the option.

They put it all on one tab. And then when the bill comes, right, you do a normal bill, or I guess maybe this is just a Minnesota thing, but you tip. They don't add the tip to it, but they added the tip to this like three. They're like sneaky add 20%. Right on it. Right on it. And it says on the bottom. So it was a $300 meal, right?

And then 20% of $300, so $60. So they add a, so it was a $360 meal then. So then Ken tips $20 on, or $2.6 on $3.60. So they got like a $150 tip. And you're almost like thinking. Service wasn't even fucking good. You're tipping on your tip in a sense. You're like adding that.

And he just did that again. That's why you have a $4.25 bill. I am. Absolutely. The look of this guy back. Because we just assumed they don't fucking add another 20%. Well, we knew that, though. But it was just look.

Quite the opposite because we learned after the first night. We learned after the first. Ken knows this one's on him. Ken's out here paying for somebody's butt lift, dude. Yeah. And they're in there with all the different taxes. Oh, man, they really do. The large service charge, 20?

Yeah. $54? Yep. Well, it's because you guys got four shots of Casamigos. Right. But you also earned those. I didn't want that. Hey, we didn't know they were.

going to cost $29 a piece. Yeah, they didn't even chill them. That's why I think Miami's the worst fucking city you can vacate. I've never heard you say that before. I had a other time. No, I just think it's overrated for a couple reasons, but like, it's just so expensive. Yeah. That's why we ended up heading back early, because if we would have done that for two more days,

we probably would have lost the camera, lost all the footy, lost all the footy, fucking had to declare bankruptcy, and then probably would have just joined Maestro and fucking selling coconuts on the beach. Yeah. Well, so the reason that I had to stay home was I, or I got to stay home, had to stay home, was I won Vikings tickets.

So I went to the best team in the league. The Minnesota Vikings. They're the best, best head coach and quarterback and everybody. But anyway, going to that game, had plans with my girlfriends, and you guys were like, oh, girlfriends, girlfriend. And so you guys were going to come back

Two sets of seats he was going back. It was just kidding. Did you just out yourself? Yeah, geez. So anyway, I, you know, had to be back for that. And so then you guys go and you were going to come back Sunday night. So I'm like, well, I guess I won't make it. And then you come back Friday.

So you could have gone. So not only did I not get to go to Miami. And then you come home and you're like, Saturday morning, let's film a podcast. I'm like, I only wanted Saturday and Sunday off. I was like, this is what I'm waiting for all week. To be fair, I thought you were leaving Saturday night. Yeah, no. No, that's okay.

But, yeah, anyway, so that was the reason that I wasn't there. So Ryan's dad is, like, part owner at the restaurant in Cormorant. And, uh, they ended up doing like this giveaway for Vikings tickets. And, you know, it's a very small crowd of locals that go there. And everybody wanted these Vikings tickets because they were really good seats. There was four tickets they were giving away. They've been hyping it up for a while, too. Yeah.

And, uh, the deal with it was like you, every time you ate, you got a, Every time you ate during a Vikings game. So it was a really small pot. You would get a ticket and then you would write your name on it and go into the bucket. And then they were drawing it this day at this time. So it was packed and relatively packed in there. There was quite a bit of people in there. And everyone was waiting for the big Viking ticket announcement.

Meanwhile, that whole day prior, I was cracking jokes to Ryan because I was like, watch you end up winning this Ryan. Like how fucking mad everyone would be because it would just look like it was. rigged which it's not it would just look that way anyways ryan goes yeah yeah i was worried about that so i just would write my girlfriend's name on all my tickets because like if i win that would that would not go over well fully thinking i'm not gonna yeah i mean you just kind of assume normally i guess anything so we we go and we eat and comes a big drawing time and i'm sitting there just like chilling this girlfriend ends up getting drawn and the worst part was it was my

ticket. I had wrote her name. It was in my handwriting. Dude, but everyone was looking at you. I thought Ryan was going to get beat up. I was like, dude, you can't sit with me anymore. You're making me look bad. Like, I don't want to be anywhere near you. And Elander was just so happy because she loves going on Vikings. She was so happy. And you were just like, it was like a world win of emotions for you because you're like, fuck. I was like, it's pretty awkward, but I don't want to look not happy because that makes me look like an worse. But I don't want to stand up. on the table and celebrate because that make me look like an asshole.

And Alander's like super excited. So I'm like, all right, she's technically the one who won. We can just play it off. No one will even notice that she's my girlfriend. They caught on. Then she's like grabbing on. She's like, it's going to be so fun. And I could just feel the whole restaurant looking at me.

People were like whispering. They're like, and like, that's I work son. Seems a little fishy. Yeah. But it wasn't rigged. But yeah. So that's, I thought that was pretty freaking funny. It was.

So that's why I didn't get to go to Miami. Well, I mean, at least you didn't get sick. Yeah. Really just down bad. Yo. I didn't get robbed, though. So that's good. Yeah, that could have, or you could have gotten sucker punch.

Who wouldn't, who knows what could have happened if Ryan was there? It could have just, no, I mean, you know, just one more thing. Yeah. I would have been in there. Yeah. I probably have freaked out, you know. I thought a little bitch. Go, psycho.

I would end up beating all them up When we were at this bar in Palm Beach Before we went back to Miami C.J bumped into this guy That had like a The only other young person in the bar Yeah, I had like a pretty thick accent And I think he was like, oh, sorry, mate or something

And I go, are you from Australia? And he goes, no, uh Canadian And I was like, oh cool I was like, what are you doing here? And start chopping it up with this guy and super nice dude and so he was like oh what are you doing i was like oh we're YouTubers and he was like asking a bunch of questions about that and i was like yeah how about you and he's like oh i worked for Airbnb i was like oh cool doing what or how do you work

remote or how's that work he's like yeah i work in like the luxury homes department of Airbnb i was like oh wow that's got to be so cool man like how did how did you end up in that position because he said he was like a like a executive like overlooked everyone in department. I was like, oh, how'd you end up in that position? And he was like, I started a company when I was 16 and I ended up selling it to Airbnb like four years ago. So in 20 or five years ago in 2017. And I was like, oh, wow. I was like, that's crazy. I was like, how did that happen? And he kind of gives me a backstory and everything and said they had like 3,000 or 4,000 like luxury home rentals all over the world, basically. Like Airbnb before it was.

was Airbnb before it was Airbnb yeah Airbnb basically just came in bought that bought the entire company out and then just rebranded it as like Airbnb luxury rentals or something like that and i was like talking to him for a while at this point we're buddies and i was like dude i got to ask like what did you what did you guys sell for and he was like oh man just uh i i can't say and i was like i was like understandable, understandable, and he was like, just look it up. And he was like, you just look it up after, after you leave. Look it up. Dude sold his company for $300 million to Airbnb.

I'm like, holy shit. He was a young guy, yeah. Yeah, he looked like he was 25, but he said he was like 35 or something like that. CJ doesn't even give him the respect, just bumps into him at the bar. I don't give a fuck how much money you got. I still said, sorry. I was, oh, sorry, bro. Yeah, kept going.

What do you mean? Yeah, I'm kidding. So, I'm like, that's pretty crazy. Like, this dude's a baller, right? And I start doing some more research on it. And I cannot find a single thing about him anywhere. And now I'm wondering if this dude catfish me. I think he was capping.

I, dude, I cannot find anything about him. Because he gave me his email, and he goes, yo, shoot me an email. And we can work something out if you guys want to get like a nice place. somewhere sick and everything but dude i can't find anything i know the story's real but i think this dude might have just came up with said he was that guy yeah that's genius it'd be so random to do though like why he was wearing he was wearing a mask in the bar which was pretty suspicious if you asked me he was the only one in the yeah higher bar seems like something

who would lie so now i'm i don't want to claim that he catfish me but it was I can't find anything on him. And you'd think somebody worth that much. You'd be able to find something. Maybe it's to go off the grid. That's the only other thought I'd have. Maybe, but I found, like, stories about the guy, the original guy, or pictures of the dude that started the company that he was telling me about, and the company that sold for 300 million.

It's not him. Oh, maybe. Man, sounds right there. And the dude told me, like, how he started. He was like, yeah, I was, like, 16. would go to Barbados and just like knock on doors because like my parents had like family friends houses in Barbados and that's the story of like

this dude that started the company but it's not him I'm so confused when people get rich they go back in age look at Bezos lately dude guy yoked I saw a really funny meme about that actually and he was like Mr. Jeff Bezos is turning into pit bull more pit bull Mr. Worldwide ever since he went out of space Can you imagine just living a different life in like a vacation destination town

Because you just meet different people every day or every time you go out You'll never see them again And you just come up with a different story That's what I started thinking then too Yeah it's got to be like if someone I'm sure there are people like that They have like a yeah it's almost like a social disorder You know like they get they get a kick they get their rocks off by like telling people different stories of how awesome they are and how successful they are who knows yeah who knows

i don't know i'm just glad that you guys made it out of there without getting your ass beat ken hitting on some guys chick no that chick was not into that guy yeah that guy was so oh yeah dude i thought that mike was going to get beat up because that guy was all mad at him and i obviously was just chilling back and uh it was me and ben with this guy and i like nudged ben i was like Yo, I think this guy might, like, start some shit with Mike. Be ready to go. Like, I was ready to, like, step in. Oh, it wasn't Ken?

No, it was Mike, dude. Oh, I thought it was Mike and Ken. No, Ken dipped out of there. He would not have his back. Bro, I just can't stand when, like, at first he's like, oh, I got a mullet too nice. And we, like, start. And then he gets a little, we're playing tiki toss. And he tries to do, like, special moves.

And he wasn't nailing any of them. And then this girl walks up and says, hi. And, like, it's almost like they were, they knew each other, but blah, blah, blah. and he's like, oh, you're a blow. Okay, and then he, like, starts saying hi to her, and then he was being just kind of a jerk. And then she, like, brings up how the last time she met him, he was being a jerk.

And, yeah, she's like, yeah, and he's like, what? That's pretty mean to say to a guy that you're sleeping in the same house with tonight. I was like, why do you? Don't hit on her after she calls you a jerk. And then, uh, did you say that, Mike? Did you say that to him? Say what?

Did you say, you can't hit on her after she calls you a jerk? No, totally silent And then he Like all of a sudden he just snaps Like after he saw that like Like listen Ken was just making small talk Oh yeah she was talking Because she didn't want to play like Tiki Tos or whatever

And making small talk and he wanted to play with me And then after like she just says that And then he like gets all sulky in the corner And he's just like You're dead to me You're like something like that You're not my friend now And you never were

It's like a 35-year-old man. And his name was like Tommy. And she's like, Tommy. Like, no, it's not like that. No, don't talk to me. It's fucked up. We got a mic goes over. And I'm just like trying to like calm him down.

And then you guys were, you guys were, well, even before that, you guys were trolling him that just, we do this to everybody. We're like, oh, yeah. That's true. Ben's actually 16. And he, like, freaked out. You don't know who I know around here. Did he, like, splash his balls or his dick to you or something like that? And that, what?

No. He did something weird. And then we're like, oh, that's fucked up. He's a minor. He's 16. And he goes, like, got kind of worried. He got really on edge. Well, you can't be in here drinking.

Like, you'd get in trouble then, too. I go, bro, who cares? This step away. He goes, you just don't know the people that know me around here. It's not cool. And then we kept trolling him. And he's like, so he's not actually 16? Like, God.

And then we go, no, he's 18. He's like, what the fuck? Dude, some people just, like, we just find ourselves in a really funny situations but the whole time i wasn't worried the dude was a little i was i was a little bit worried he was a pretty big guy and it's not like ken was gonna back back you up standing there so yeah me and cj would and cj's not trying to get bonged and i'm not i think the worst thing we were like on the deck the deck next to the water the worst thing he would have done is like chucked me into the water thanks mike i go throws up all i mean first of he's not he was not big enough to

throw like throw me into the water but if you like push me up against the thing and the whole time i I kind of thought it was Ken's, like, ex-cousin that's kind of a shitbag, but he's from Florida. I thought it was him because he kind of looked like him, and Ken was kind of mingling with him. So I go, wow, man, Ken's cousin really is a shit bag. Ken doesn't even want to stand by him anymore. The best thing about it, though, about any vacation, especially in areas like that, never see those people again. Yeah, ever. Probably ever.

I wouldn't care anyways. They were the ones being fucking idiots. Right, but, yeah. So what do you guys think about New Year's resolutions? Do you partake in them? Like, like, last year, everyone sets like, oh, I'm going to go to the gym four days a week. Which is so basic, but also. I know as an example, but do you guys set up that kind of stuff?

I've never, yeah, I've never set a New Year's resolution and kept it, no matter what it is. Besides last year, my New Year's resolution was to give up pennies. What does that mean, you may ask? Like, it's so funny. I'm sorry, it's just like, I just don't use pennies ever. Like, when I get a penny from the pay with cash, get four pennies back, walk out of the gas station, fling them onto the, just fling them onto the street wherever I'm at. Sometimes I just throw them in the garbage.

I don't care if there's cars driving by it. Well, no, I don't hit cars. Okay, that'd be funny if I did. But sometimes I just throw them in the garbage. Sometimes I'd, like, put them in a stack somewhere. Like, most of the time. Why don't you just put them in the garbage? A little free penny thing.

If there is one, I do that, for the record. If there is a penny thing in the gas station, I do that. But anywhere else, just chuck them. Throw them out the window, whatever you want. And then people are like, well, why don't you save them? Okay. Well, if I saved 300 pennies, like, that's a lot of pennies. It takes a lot of transactions.

What does that get me? Three dollars. Right. So it's like, I'm not saying I don't care about the little money. Like, I'll still pick up a nickel, which is ironic. But anyway, 300 pennies gets me like a monster. Who cares? Okay.

So anyway, I genuinely caught a really good time just whipping these pennies out. It's so fun. I would love to be just a bystander, seeing Mike walk out of the store just with a wad of pennies and just chuck it. Right. And I never have, like, more than five usually. Dude, I... It's in his little Subaru, boom, vaping. Yeah.

I got like a change, like, big old change jar from my uncle when I was just a little kid. I remember it had, like, maybe like this much change in it. But it was so fucking heavy. I was like, I'm fucking rich. I thought I was like a millionaire, you know? I was like, there's got to be, you know, probably not a millionaire, but there's got be so much money in here. Anyways, I always use that jar and I'd always put change in it.

That's also why I don't use pennies, because if you put pennies in your jar, it feels heavy. And again, not worth anything. So I have a big jar with no pennies in it. Right. I disagree, though. I agree with the pennies, though. Yeah, it's just fun. That's the most ironic, like, New Year's resolution that I just so happen to actually honor.

I love that. Well, that's a great New Year's resolution. Mike, I'm proud of you for honoring it. That one stuck with me for life, to be honest. Otherwise, you're anti-penny? Yeah. You're going to run a campaign one day. I'm not against, yeah, now I'm instead, before I was like, the U.S. should just stop making pennies,

which, like, I think a lot of people can agree on. But I might be sad if they do now because my entertainment will be gone. Mike, you should invest or get the app that just rounds up to the nearest dollar and then it invest. That's with a card, but yeah, I should. You know, so then it offsets all the pennies that you throw away. Right. Yeah, no, that's whoever invented that, that's smart. That's if you pay with a card, though.

Yeah, otherwise, yeah, I don't know. I'm not big on the whole New Year's resolution thing. I feel like you almost like, I think it's just better to set goals in general. Right. Yeah. I think definitely setting like a year goal and having like the one year. Like I have one year to accomplish this goal. Like last year I wrote down just a bunch of different random goals from my personal life to finances to YouTube, like the company goals and just different things like that.

And I looked back on it the other day after I realized that, oh, I should go and see if any of those, you know, after a year came true. or where I stand in it. And I think I, like, accomplished most of them. Yeah. I was like, damn. You know, when you set those, you kind of, obviously, you hope that they do come true. But I, like, specifically even rode down,

like, I hope I buy a C8 Corvette. And it's just different things like that. Because then once you write it down, then you're thinking about it. And then once you're thinking about it, that's when you accomplish it. Yeah, I think it's better to set, yeah, like to set a goal and then figure out how you're going to accomplish that

versus just saying, I want to do this, you know, because then it gets old. Gym, for example, I want to go to the gym three days a week, versus I want to make a transformation in my body. I want to look kind of like this guy. Yeah. And then how do I get there? That's true.

Because if you have no end goal, if that's just your goal to go three days a week, it can get loose pretty fast. Yeah, I was going to say, I wonder why New Year's resolutions typically don't get, like, met, you know? Where does it fall? I think maybe it's because everyone's set in, like, New Year's resolutions, they go, what's your New Year's resolution? You don't, like, really want it. You're just kind of like, oh, yeah, it'd be nice to do this. So you're not really about it.

Right. Like, if you really, really want something, I feel like you just would set the goal. That's true. It doesn't need to be here. Yeah, but it almost forces you to, which is probably good. And I think I've found when people set more unique New Year's resolutions, they get, like, they happen. Right. You know, when it's basic, then they're like, eh.

I just said that because it was New Year's. Dude, gym owners, I was thinking about this. Gym owners got to love New Year's. It got to. New Year's like the Black Friday for e-commerce, you know? You want to know what's weird though? It's like I've been going to the gym, and honestly I'm not seeing any new faces. Really?

Like, I mean, I haven't seen, doesn't seem any more busy. Doesn't seem anything. Maybe not then. I thought it would be around here, but I'd imagine in busy areas. Visier areas. Yeah, you guys got to start going to the gym. Yeah. We got this company plan that we're paying for.

I'm the only one using it. I don't think we really need it anymore. We also have a gym downstairs that we haven't even used. That's true. I worked out there every day you guys were going. One of them. It's probably why you're sick. That's why I was your body.

What are you doing to me? More mountain dew. Yeah, dude, I'm fading right now. Yeah, so after this, I was like, I assume you're going to need to go bundle up in blankets and hopefully sleep. Taking a nap. Yeah. I'm bad. Ryan's got the suds.

Got the suds. Stay tuned for the videos we got come rolling out in January. Yeah, we just got done planning a whole, I don't know how many weeks we just planned out, but we got a whole bunch of stuff planned. It's going to be lit. And, yeah, hit the subscribe button you haven't yet. Peace. Peace.
