I've seen you flush $5,000 on pole taps. I wouldn't be able to afford to do that if I fixed my truck. You made a deal with the ops. I did. Without even us intervening, I'm sure they're pranking you. You could have a Coors and a Keystone, and you wouldn't know the difference. Guarantee I do. Basically drug your package across the top of Ken's head.

Evan had his nuts out in front of our grandma. Give you a little taste of your own medicine. Dude. Super Bowl was the league. Sunday was a big one. Sunday was a big one. Hanging all with Grandpa Ron is always a big one. I think someone poisoned me.

You were Hamboni. Was it the little one? I think it was the two Miller Light pregames you had at four. That's what started it all off. Well, that and the three drinks in the car ride to his house. No one celebrated. No one celebrated the Super Bowl quite like of. I think that might have seen it on video.

That might have been the only way to really get through what you had to do. Actually, they would have already seen it. Yeah, they would have seen. They would have seen it. That means they would have already been scarred as well. Hopefully they can see that my friend Ben was feeling awfully loose as well. I don't know if I want you referring to me in that manner, picturing what you were wearing and then picturing me also being awfully loose.

You were the second loosest of the night. I'll give you that. Yeah, we did it pretty big. I was pretty much chalked up the entire night that I was going to be doing what Evan had to do, wearing the little outfit, we'll call it. The Borat outfit. So I was like, okay, well, this is going to be me. I guess to make it hurt less, maybe I'll have another beer.

Another beverage. Make it less embarrassing. I was actually feeling confident that I was going to win. That's why I was like pre-celebrating. Yeah, it was crazy how the tables turned from you were the expected winner to then you took last. You know what's crazy, actually crazy is Evan was, had his nuts out. in front of our grandma. Dude, I kept looking at the word contained.

I will say that is not pretty much out. Her grandma is not surprised by what she sees come out of us. She is conditioned at this point. I think she still has to be. That was some of the most outrageous behavior I have done in. Honestly, I was wondering if you would have been better off naked. Like, wearing that thing made it even more insane. You're more confident.

It would have definitely been way weirder if I was just saying. It would have been way weird. Chips and queso naked. Well, and a CJ was like, whoever loses has to be naked running around the house. And I was like, well, keep in mind, we're still at our grandparents' house here, C.G. And also in a neighborhood. Another thing, though, is that we were like, well, if they're fully naked, we have to do a lot of blurring. And after that little strang got placed on Evan, we're like, yeah, we're still to do a lot of blurry.

The issue with it is just really, you know, how fine, detailed the blurring has to be. because of how graphic all of it was. Like, Evans walking this way, you're going to have to blur. Then he's spinning and he's walking the other way and you're still going to have to... You're just going to have to... The whole thing is after he's blurred. If he's in the frame, it has to be blurred.

It doesn't matter which way he's pointed or where he's going. We just only... Which way he's pointed. We just blur his face for the entire segment and leave the rest. Just for his... Yeah. Dignity. I can't remember who said it, but I think they're like,

oh, we're surprised how he's... like quick you put it on but I was like I have to do it no matter what and I honestly felt that you guys were going to feel a lot more uncomfortable looking at me than I would feel wearing it I think you're right I thoroughly enjoyed it in the least gay way

possible it was just hilarious I'm not sure how the girls felt Alex didn't really have anything to say I don't she seemed pretty unfazed by it but but she lives with you yeah when you got close to Sydney she I just she screamed like there was a giant Sydney yeah yeah

She let out of a scream like there was a mouse crawling up her leg. Maybe a little mouse. What a laundering of it, Ryan. She was pretty shocked. I think she's been fairly conditioned over the years all of our girlfriends and fiancés have. But yeah, I think she just averted her eyes, which was good. That was good.

I didn't need that image in her brain, you know? Gotta say it's probably in there somewhere. Because, you know, all I'm saying is it burns in really fast and it's hard not to look at least once. It is kind of like a... Like a car crash. They weren't drinking as much as we were too. Yeah, I know. That's kind of dumb with that.

Respectfully, Evan, Alex can look all she wants. I'm not worried about her seeing that. Thinking anything poorly of me. Damn. Sorry, Ev. Well, you're like, we're going to men in black, I'm like, what are you worried about, Ryan? What are you worried about? I don't know, just her mental health.

Yeah, I am a bit freer than you, you see. You are a lot furrier than me. Do you use nair? How do you? No, I just am not nearly as furry as you. So I will say this, though, when Evan was doing all this, I said, Grandma, well, before it happened, I said, Grandma stayed downstairs. She said, I'll be fine.

And I said, I think you're underestimating what you're about to see. And then it happened, or it was in the midst of happening, Evan wearing his outfit in the kitchen. And I said, Grandma, I am so sorry. And then she said, I've been married to your grandpa for 40 years. I've seen worse. And I said, there's no way. And she said, well, I shouldn't say worse.

But I've been conditioned. And then the next morning, when we were leaving, you know, I gave her a hog. And I was like, all right, love your grandma. Thanks for having us. Like, that was so much fun. And she just said, you guys are crazy. And that's what I left on. You guys are crazy.

I did think that. I mean, we like college parties. at their house. We took Grandpa Ron out gambling and bar hopping on a Sunday evening. My personal favorite moment from the whole night that I don't completely remember, but there is a video of it, is where I fall down the stairs into Ben, but Ben thinks it's Grandpa falling down the stairs.

We do probably have to get up. Grandpa, are you okay? I mean, it's just me. I'll explain what's going through my mind here. I'll do what I came running in. I'm like, oh my God. And I will say exactly how this happened. We're standing at the.

the top of the stairs, Ben's walking down, Evan's right behind, and Grandpa and I are going to be the last ones down. And I go, hey, watch out because there's a bunch of stuff on the stairs. You know, like, I'm concerned. You know, we've been out all night. And so I go, hey, careful on the stairs. And Evan, I think heard that and then swan dove off the like third stair from the top. You just jumped. You heard it, you heard be careful. And he's drunk. And you went, never mind. He's very reverse psychology. I think I just wanted to prove like, I'm not going to trip and fall.

I'll just fall. It'll be fine. Well, yeah, I mean, this was about five minutes after Evan put his head through our Sprinter van TV. Oh, yeah. That was awesome. Yeah, but you put your elbow through it. Ben.

Oh, we have a, we have a, true. Oh, we have a conversation. What, Ben? Who pulled my pants down in the sprinter? Luckily for you. It's hard to say. I don't remember that. Okay.

I mean, bro, as you guys know, this is a lot of this. is documented because we film a lot of our lives. So Evan's pants were down. I couldn't tell if you were trying to pull him back up, Ben. I was trying to pull him back up. Why would I want his pants down? Why would I have pulled him down myself? You pulled your pants down and then you basically drug your package across the top of Ken's head.

No, I didn't. That's how you hurt Ken's neck. Yeah, you, I don't really know, but I know you for sure somersaulted over me. I'm pretty sure I have it on video. With my pants on. No, I don't know if they were on or not. I wasn't quite paying that much attention. It almost looks like that first video.

So like, he was. My pants are down and Grandpa's hand on my arm, which is concerning. I think we were just trying to corral you. Okay. You were pulling them up. You're pulling them up. Hey, you got your pants down right here. You pulled them down on video here.

That is not me. It looks like Ben's pulling. Ben's pulling. First of all, you are sheaped. Look out the window. Look out the window. Mike's accelerating. Oh, you're right. He accelerates.

Yes. He accelerates all. That's still just a punch. You just swung your arm by the end. You just swung and punched it. I was trying to catch myself. I think I'm trying to get your cheeks out of Ken's face. Literally, I'm going to go 50-50 on you, boys.

You pull them, replay third down. Evan punches the spray. Grandpa's there and you got your dick out again. He does a front flip over Ken landing on his head. And we're like, geez, this dude is destruction. left and right. And then we proceed to walk into my grandparents' house and they have an entryway into the basement from like the garage.

We were sneaking in the basement door. Yeah, we were trying to sneak in and not waking up grandma. You guys were in the garage just cackling. I didn't know what was going on. That's why I originally started filming. You guys were sneaking in the garage like you were some college kids just cackling in the garage. So let me preface this.

Before we watch the video, I'm standing at the top of the stairs talking to Evan and Grandpa Ron, right? And then Ryan is like, be careful walking down the stairs. I hear him saying that to my grandpa Ron. Well, next thing I know, I'm walking down. I get taken out from behind. I don't know what's going on. All I know is somebody fell at the top and took me out at the bottom, right?

So my mind, my mind immediately goes to, holy shit, grandpa Ron, just ate shit on the top of the stairs and slid down the whole thing and took me out in the process. Obviously, that's not what we're about to watch. Let's just watch it in its full 25 seconds of glory. Whoa, Grandpa! You okay, Grandpa? You look him dead in the eyes. You look Evan in the eyes. You're okay, Grandpa?

No, I looked down. I looked down expecting him to be under me because I just got taken out. You thought all three of you went down. And I looked down, right? You know, okay, grandpa? See how I look down? I expect. to look down and see Grandpa Rohn piled up underneath.

He scared the shit out of me because I was in the house, settled in on the couch. I jumped up and ran over because I literally thought he fell. I've known Ben for quite a handful of years at this point, and I have never seen the look of such concern on his face. I mean, yeah, your 83-year-old grandpa that you just took out to the bars and then you bring home at 2 a.m. falls down the stairs. You're going to be concerned.

I know, I know. But we've had scary moments and incidences and whatnot, And that was just the most concerned, which is right. And then we have P.OV2 from Ryan. I was a little late, which is my bad. Okay, well, that's okay because, like, so was I kind of. I didn't really get all of it. But I love how you pan to grandpa.

And he goes, I'm up here. Yes. You can't be able to? I'm up. You know, you're saying it's soak up. You okay, grandpa? Like our 85-year-old grandpa just fell out. You okay, grandpa?

Do you notice how I didn't spill my beer? Watch this, though. Wait. I just texted you, Micah, Evan in the sprinter van. Something more concerning. Like, his fall was bad. Okay, look at Evan pouring beer in his face right here. He's rolling head first down the stairs.

Oh, my God. Yeah, you were head first. Coors like in the eyes. I was thirsty. He was like in the eyes. Look at that. So I want to also point something out. You were hitting your head so much that night.

Oh, my God. I know. I actually have been dizzy ever since. The wall that Ben falls into is a concrete wall. And look how the pillow perfectly caresses Ben's head as he softly lands into a few pillows. Like it could not have been any softer of a landing. It was like you just like laid down in bed.

You go, ho. Oh my gosh. So you smacked your head there, Evan. But then you also threw your head through the TV. Oh my God. Oh my. Oh, my. Stop him.

Stop him. Okay. We're like, stop them, stop them. Did my eyes go cross? Look at the wind. Look at the wind. Like, you are a wild animal. And then on top of that, when you teabagued Ken, you went from your nuts on top of Ken's head to the top of your head on the hardwood floor of the sprinter van.

Bro. I don't think that that's, it's kind of like wrestling, you know. I mean, there's some give to the screen. That's better in the floor. It's better in the stairs. I had your full weight was on my head, though. Yeah, all of you. Ken wasn't even concerned that your pants were down.

He was more concerned about his neck. I apologize, Ken. Dude, what a beautiful break on that TV, though. Couldn't be more dramatic. Yeah, it was dramatic. And we broke two TVs. Luckily, our mechanic, Gavin, had broke that same TV a year back or so. So he actually is very familiar with how to replace it,

which he said isn't actually the easiest task. I can't imagine. It's almost like you have to disassemble the entire back end of that. thing. The way you look at the camera. You kind of like, you kind of looking awesome. You look through the camera, but you're like,

I mean, business. You are fucking awesome. Yeah, that was, uh, that was hilarious, boys. Like, you guys really did it big with the stairs and the TV and the other TV and Dude, Grandpa Ron stayed up until like four in the morning. Yeah. Playing pool. Yeah, I know.

We had to tell us. All right. We got to shut this down. I must have lost every game of pool. I played that night. Because all I had in my Venmo was 100 bucks CJ, 100 bucks band, 100 bucks Micah. No, the reason why you were Venmoing me was because I was giving you cash.

Oh, yeah, playing Blackjack. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I just had like a half a dozen plus $100 venmos to someone or another. I will say, I'm glad they didn't have all that. Like those are college bars.

I haven't been back to them since a year or two out of college. And they didn't have all the slot machines. They had the blackjack table, but it wasn't nearly as big of a deal. Nobody really played it. But half the bar is slot machines now. Is it? Really?

Yeah, the whole back wall, the whole entryway of sports bars, slot machines. And then the whole back wall of Fort Knox's. They used to have arcade games that they just ripped out and put slot machines in their place. Or a fucking table for people to sit around and talk with each other. God forbid. We got to gamble now?

There's nothing wrong with gambling. There isn't. Yes, there. Yeah. I will say, dude. I thought you guys would be excited about something like that. Listen, you are a sick of. We are a sicko.

We are big gamblers, but it is insane. How much gambling is now a part of, like, culture. Like, you go on Robin Hood, they have prediction markets. The same thing as gambling. It's a fucking investing. You know, like, every football. And I'm not saying we're some goody two shoes that we don't do it. I'm probably the worst.

But, like, it is insane. I think Ken's the worst, but it is insane. Yeah, Ken actually is the worst. He's always playing Blackjack. You guys are both bad. But. He was playing Blackjack on his phone. we were playing blackjack and real life.

That's because I ran out of cash. No, Ken was gambling on the Super Bowl and he was sitting there and he wasn't getting enough of a dopamine hit, watching the Super Bowl. Hanging with his friends. And hanging with his friends. So he was gambling on his phone. Playing blackjacket. You were a sick, Ken.

The first three quarters was kind of a snooze fest. Nothing really happened. It wasn't more into the first. But, I mean, you got polymarket. You got all these different prediction markets, which are supposedly not gambling, but they are. you're just betting. It's crazy as a society how much it is now a part of it. And I will say, as someone who loves to do it, is definitely not good for society. I know. And like, where do you draw the line? I think I have enough control to like gamble and bet within what I can

afford to lose. But like a lot of people don't have that. And I think play prize picks, bet on sports, play blackjack, do your thing. But only gamble like, you know, those extra funds that it's okay if you lose. You know, like, just have like a fun fund that you understand. You're probably going to lose it. But, I mean, if you lose that, you can dip into the, like, car payment to try to win the funds back. See, that's the thing. But, like, now you're seeing the problem in America.

It's so accessible now. It's so accessible. I mean, between Kenson, they're playing blackjack on his phone. Like, he used to only be able to lose thousands of dollars going to Vegas. Now he loses thousands of dollars while he's losing thousands of dollars watching the Super Bowl. I didn't lose thousands of dollars. I didn't lose thousands of dollars. I made thousands of dollars.

But you could have. I could have lost, but I didn't. It's just, it is wild. I don't know. What's your guys' thoughts on like the whole prediction market? Dude, it's every, every single app. And like Ryan said, Robin Hood, an investing app is now just turned into a, it's got the prediction market side of things, which is essentially just gambling.

Yeah. That should not be in front of you. That's not investing. There's a big difference between buying stocks and guessing on who's going to, to win the coin toss, you know? I think it's like, it's just so accessible. Yeah, that's the thing that's becoming crazy. And, uh, I just watched an interview the CEO of Charles Schwab, another investing brokerage, like Robin Hood. They were asking him if he was going to do it. And he was like, no, like, I don't think we should, but we might have to just do to like the competitive nature

of the business. I mean, everybody needs their cut. You know, like every, every app wants their cut. So it's just more and more. Well, I mean, they're just trying to maintain market share. Yeah. It's, Everyone else is there mostly. Yeah. If everyone else is doing it, they have to do it. Otherwise, they're going to lose clients. Exactly. Isn't that what peer pressure is?

Everyone else is doing it. You should tell them that. But anyways, yeah, I don't know. I just made me think about it. I guess this isn't as much as I thought. Investing $5 a day over 10 years with 6 to 8% annual returns could yield around $27,000. It doesn't sound that bad. $5 a day?

$5 a day. I was thinking, I was like, what if you gamble $5 a day? But you're gambling way more than that. You're going to $5 a minute. If you were gambling, Ken, there's no way it was limited to five bucks a minute. Oh, God, no. I know. I agree, though, CJ.

I think it's like, where do we draw the line in society here? Everything is gambling. Like, are I going to be, like, gambling in my car? Like, when you're, you're changing a lane? Like, are there, is there going to be a gambling lane? Oh, maybe I don't know what that. Like, you turn on your fucking blinker and it's like, gamble this. Playing.

On their teslas and shit. Like, is there going to be a gambler's lane? Like, you can. pull over and like instead of having the toll lanes it's like a gambling lane like you pay five bucks to get in it and it might be faster it might be slower you got to spin the wheel and if if it lands on green or something then he gets a speed 50 miles an hour or gas pump and they got a freaking little casino thing running in the gas pump so you can gamble while you're pumping gas either free gas or double the price or double the price there we go I'd try every time we know you would have

that's what I'm saying here it's crazy I even thought that about just Just having bars or TVs and bars. There's a new bar that reopened by us. And the old bar had like two TVs in it. It was inconvenient if you were trying to watch a sports game. Now there is legitimately 75 TVs on the wall. You go in there and there's a TV in your whole peripheral view. And it's fucking like chive TV on too.

It's just like Instagram Reels going ham. It is the vibe of a sports bar. I mean, it depends what the vibe of the bar is. Yeah, I don't have a problem with the TV. I don't have a problem with any of them. But it's like you're sitting in the bar and then everybody's sitting there kind of watching the TV instead of talking with each other. It's like you can't even just drink and talk with people. That bar did do a good job.

They made the TVs well above your normal eye level. So you do have to like consciously look up to watch it. That's my problem. My eyes just keep going up. Could be. You guys hear about our boy Stefan Diggs, ex-Minnisota Viking, how his Super Bowl game went? Well, first of all, he didn't play that well. And then apparently...

You could tell how well we watched the game. Exactly. Apparently he didn't. And he's currently facing charges for felony strangulation of his chef, which is pretty fucked up. You can't strangle your fucking chef. Unless they burn something. Strangle the neck that feed you. I'm kidding. And then at the start of the game, he's walking around and he had his, because he's currently dating Cardi B.

Wow. He and Cardi B are together. He bought his baby mama front row seats. And then there was a video that was released of him walking by and like holding her hand. And then she goes, I love you. And then he like says something back. And then Cardi B left halfway through the game. Oh my.

And then Stefan Diggs didn't go to the $1.5 million after party she threw for him. And then now they don't follow each other on Instagram. Wow. So he lost the Super Bowl and his chick. Wow, Ryan. You are and deep in the social media mud for that one. I had to go down some. freaking rabbit holes.

But I was just like, someone was like, damn, Stefan Diggs lost the Super Bowl and his chick in the same night. I was like, what? And then I figured out

he's also facing jail time. Can you imagine blowing off a $1.25 million party? Can you imagine spending $1.2 million on a party? Nope. No, that's pretty fucked up.

And then, yeah, the strangulation of his chef is just, that's crossing the line. Can you see CJ? What do you mean? This isn't gluten free. Yeah,

can I get some more context on that? Where's my cash shoes? So he had two women, two children born in April of 2025. Different mothers, different mothers. And then with Cardi B, he had a son in November. But then it looks like there was another kid around that same time with Drake's ex-girlfriend, who is a model. Four baby mamas knocked up in one year? Yeah, yeah.

Well, he had four different women in one year, four different baby mamas. but he has two other kids prior to that. Just wear a fucking pull-out. It's pretty impressive, though. So, like, honestly, I cannot even imagine juggling that many women. It's pretty cool, though, that Cardi B was even sticking with them that long. I mean, yeah. But I guess if you're a rapper like her, she's probably, this is a different world, but.

Yeah, that's insane. That is insane. So, yeah, I mean, on top of that, being a great wide receiver, you have to have that multiple baby mamas, but then also an assault charge on your. Yeah, and Tony O'Brown. That's some, that's just like him. Did he have an assault charge? He murdered somebody in like the back alley.

Really? After, uh, after some like Twitch stream. Eden Ross through. That was post NFL career. But yeah, you're probably right. It was like a month ago, right? He was on the run. He was like in Dubai or something.

It's crazy. Or allegedly, allegedly he did that. I don't know. Shot at him or something. I don't know what he did. Jesus. Yeah, it was pretty aggressive. But CTE, you know.

So that's why we're trying to protect you from head button TVs have TVs with the softest thing I hit my head on that night. That's the concerning part. Yeah, we need to put you in a helmet. We don't know if that's like a strap. We still get the football helmet rolling around somewhere. We can just have you wear that all day. If I walk into the bar wearing a helmet and a bib, they're going to turn me out the door.

There's a lot of places around here that just wouldn't, honestly. It lets you be for a second. I don't think anyone would ask too many questions. Something to look into. Get you to wear a helmet for a month? Remember that prank that we were going to do to Jake? Oh, you're on the water? Water truck?

Did you guys try it on me? Kind of. Did somebody attempt to think about trying it on me? With what? When I was clearing around the snow around my Corvette, there was a perfect square. Because I plowed with the skid steer when it was really warm out. It was like 40 degrees. Oh, it was like, I'm talking like a perfect rectangle of ice around the Corvette.

Yeah, it was slush. It was literally like six inch deep slush and I scraped around it. Weird. I'm talking like a literal perfect three. I'm telling you how it was possible. I took the skid steer bucket and I got as close as I could to your car without hitting it. And then what was left froze. Oh, that makes sense.

It was just so weird because like we had that wood down there. And then it was like, Mike, you're kind of spilling the beans. Yeah, fuck, we should have done that. I don't think I am. It's a pretty good idea. Yeah, we should have done that here. We did. That's on us, guys.

That's on us. But didn't we literally explain this in a video? Yeah, we were going to spray his vehicles with the water. That's what I thought. When it was super, super cold out. So it's fine because in order to do this, we're going to have to wait another year. It's not going to get that cold again. Anyway, my wishful thinking.

I think it's going to get cold again. Negative 30 like that. It happens every winter. I know. One of my buddies is like. I don't know if it's, spring is here. Starting something new can be scary.

You unfriend him? No, he's a good enough friend to keep around. Delusional. I know. I was like, bud, it's not spring yet. Who said this?

Our buddy, Jeff. He was like, spring is here. And I was like, ah, it's not. And I don't think he was like,

commanding that spring is here. He just was like spring. It feels like spring is here. Whatever, what punkstafani Phil say? Uh, he, Pucks of Toney Phil is a fraud.

The other little marmits or whatever the fuck he is are, we're good, but he's been wrong out of like eight out of the last 10 years. All right. Tantani Phil hasn't been right. What is this? Look it up, Ken. Punks Tampani Phil?

I don't even know how to say his name. You don't know who Pung Satani Phil is? But there's been other Puxatani Fills. Is he the guy that yells the weather? No, bro. It's go rain. This is hilarious because Ryan is clearly very passionate about Pung Satani Phil. And then the other day, Sidney goes, I'd love to go out there when he does that and, like, meet him.

And you should wait for a real rodent that he knows the weather. I'm like. My chat, GPD's loading. I don't know about. Is it the, is it the, is it the ground hunt? Puxatatatatini Phil saw his shadow. which by folklore means we're in for six more weeks of winter weather. Yes, but see how many times Puxetani Phil's been right.

It's pretty funny, dude. It's fucking hilarious. How did they get started doing Punks-Tafani Phil? And then figure out who was the Phil's before? Is this real? Yeah. How are they? Are you under a rock hitting me?

You live under a rock. How do you not know about Paxedani Phil? I guess I've never seen it happen. I'm with you, Ben. I've never seen it happen. You know what exists. I know it exists, but I never. You started 1887.

It's only been around. for 1887. We know that it's a thing we've just never heard of fucking Phil. Here's the thing like Puxetani Phil's in like Pennsylvania or something and he's doing a whole forecast for the entire country which does not apply.

What is this guy? Why does he deserve? I'm reading the farmer's almanac. You can't stop me. He's only been accurate 35 to 40% of the time according to chat GPT. Exactly. So that's great news then for us.

If he saw his shadow, that means that we might have a show. We might actually be hitting straight. But look about it the other rodents. The other ones better. Can I see a video of this? Can I see it in the action? Flipping a coin. What rodent is this?

Yes. He always comes down to... What is he again? He's a groundhog. So you're saying you hear about this groundhog and the winter thing, you know, seeing a shadow or not, but you had no idea what his name was. There's no way that this is the only one. It's just like a thing. If the groundhog sees his shadow. I can't even say his name. How you say it?

Pucks or tony. Pucks atone. What? Pucks atone. I think. Yeah, there's not a chance in hell I could have fucking ever I thought it was Punksiton. Like, if you put a gun to my head and you said what is the groundhog's name, zero percent chance I would have been able to say it. I don't think that it has to be the one groundhog. But here is Taney Phil.

It's Punks. Punks at Tons. Yeah, he said Pucks. Punksetani Phil. Yeah. And I've known about Pung Satani Phil since like fourth grade. And have you seen him in action? Yeah.

Look at this old time. Well, he's getting it. I mean, they show him on the news every single year. Oh, I don't watch the news, Mike. But you didn't, when you were a kid? They didn't play this on like... Yeah, like WDY. What are these?

The Amish? My Coupe. Yeah. And they do it different in Pennsylvania. Back down. There's a shadow up here. Get ready for six more weeks of winter this year. Does he even look around and see his fucking shadow?

Or did they just make it up for him? This is a hoax. I mean, yeah, it's all just for show. It's like a tradition. Like, where are they getting this information? I think it's all just complete bullshit. shit. It's just for fun. It's like, it's one of those things where they just do it for fun. Like, why do we have a dog mayor? It's because it's fun. No, because we believe in his,

hands on. There's like, it's because his owner had a bigger pocket book. Ask your AI if there's other groundhogs involved with this other than Phil. Yeah. Because I've always heard, I've always heard this thing my entire life about the groundhog seeing his shadow. But I always assumed it was just like, I don't know. Like every farm might have a groundhog. It's. like, oh, I wonder if the groundhog saw a shadow. That means his winner. I never thought it was solely based off of one Phil. Phil.

Yeah. One rat. I don't think that's a crazy take at all, but it is just one. It's punk satanee, Phil. Yeah. It's like the farmer's almanac. Like, his one guy sitting there, a farmer sitting there writing in his almanac. Can look that up as well.

Are we just, is your Chad, GTPT on fire right now? A lot of gallons of water. It's thinking. Chad Chachy PT is saying there's either 80, 92, or 67. It doesn't know. Maybe we could try good old-fashioned Googledge. Google says 80. Thank you, Jack. 80. There's 80? No, there's been 80, I'm assuming. There are multiple groundhogs and other animals that predict with over 80 rodents specifically. That are like televised?

Just like that can. When they say 80 different rodents, what does it look like for all these different rodents? Do they all come out and they get held up and then some man in a top Pat says, he saw his shadow. Are there other... Dude, think I'll lit that show. Other vibes, too. Do they do, like, maybe like a heavy metal show? Check my wigs of winter.

A quad concert. Yeah. It literally just comes down to, is it cloudy or is it sunny that day? Whatever day they do it. That's all it is. Is that actually what it is? Well, you don't see your shadow nearly as much when it's cloudy. But are they actually looking for a shadow?

Or is some guy in a room just being like, just say he saw a shadow? They're probably just picking whatever they want. want to pick that day. Well, they're not very good at it because that's what I'm saying. 30% accurate. I got it. 30% of the time they're right every time.

I got to give it to Evan and I take this one on the chin. I was completely wrong. It says on February 2nd, there is no central spectacle event. Rather, Groundhog Day involves roughly 100 different animal predictions across the United States, Canada and beyond. But this one is the big one. Yeah, the Pennsylvania. That's the one they always tell us about.

That's the one they always televised. It's just like a hot dog eating contest. Is it a Tautonny Phil, man? He's famous. But is there, like, a form that all these groundhogs are on that is like, all right, what are we saying this year? Are they breeding the groundhogs for better predictions? Did we see our shadow or not here? So we're all on the same page.

I always looked at it as kind of this wise tale where, like, you grow up on the farm or whatever. And you just kind of hang out, and it's on whatever groundhog days. And you're just, like, looking around, where's that groundhog at? And then, like, that's what I thought it was. Like, it's just like a wise tale thing. And then obviously, someone. one's going to have a specific ground hug, apparently pucks it. How do we know, how do we know the guys running these events aren't also betting on the events

and then fixing it? Well, Ken, we know. Probably nowadays, yeah. We know what you would do. Dude, sicko. Did you guys see during the Super Bowl? The streaker. So he's done it twice now where, like, the odds are, you know, very high on if there's a

streaker. And he'll bet a large amount of money. And then he goes in. streaks it and then all the fines and bail is always less than however much he bet yeah which is pretty crazy i think he's smart hustle i think his fines was like 40 grand or something and he made like 150 that's a good deal you think that like you think they'd void that bet yeah like it wouldn't because you know like in sports you can't interf well you can't like you're betting on yourself then i mean there's so many ways around i guess you're right well

you can bet on yourself you're a boxer did you see that he had i'm pretty sure you can bet on really you're gonna win oh that's cool did you see that uh made him wrong that he had someone go out first and then get tackled. So all the security went over there and then he ran out. Did you guys see the video? Yeah, the video is awesome. He posted the, uh,

his, his meta glasses today. Yeah, that's how he made it like so far because, you know, but he had wheels, dude, he was running.

Yeah, he was moving. And then he saw the football, whatever the name of the football player coming. And then he just looked and then he just like, slid and laid down. He was like, I'm not trying to get lit up by a guy and pat.

Why? Why did that guy take it upon himself to stop the streaker? Why not? people, man. He's a corner. They're fast. They're, yeah. No, I know, but there's like 25 security guards chasing after him.

Those guys aren't that fast. For like the lore of the streak. I would have let it keep going. Let it keep going. I'd been like, let's see how long this can go. I wouldn't intervene. I'm 50-50 because I'd be more like stoked if I was on the field, let the guy do his thing.

But also. Light him up. To be legendary. Yeah. Just blow his head off. Just a civilian while you're fully. If everyone's a football fair, he'd run from the sideline. Who was that?

I take my helmet out of. Long snapper. Can you imagine the thrill of streaking the Super Bowl? No, and hearing the stadium light up, everyone goes, I was exhilarated in Grandma's kitchen. Evan wearing that little outfit, streaking the Super Bowl. With that, you might catch a couple more charges.

That'd be more charges, yeah. Indecent exposure. saying people used to streak and they would be naked. Wouldn't they? But now they don't. This dude just ripped their shirt off. I was like, that's what there's a lot of comments that were fired up.

Like, hey, did we, uh, did we change the definition of streaking here? I would say if it would have been Evans' little singlet thing, I'd consider that streaking. So yeah, streaking should be primarily minimal clothes. But then what do we call it if you're fully clothed? Just run in the field at that point. Did you see the guy running the field? It's called sports. Yeah.

Trusspassing. Yeah. Just trespassing. Dude. I think it used. used to be, like, if you were a streaker, it's like, that guy's sick in the head. Now it's like, you're a streaker, it's like, okay, so why'd he do that for the internet? He was just trying to get some Instagram cloud.

He was trying to get whatever cloud. Back in the day, they were, like, doing it for possibly the love of the game or just because they were, they were just a sicko. Perhaps a drunk bet with their buddies. Yeah, that too, like, a lot smaller things to do it for, but. Yeah, the guy that did it is the guy that has the Bugatti that Matt Armstrong is rebuilding right now. Oh, really?

That's like the legendary Bugatti. Yeah. That's right. That was crashed because they, I don't know if you guys seen it. No. No. That one is legendary. He just like somebody pulled out in front of them and he like teaboned him, but it's like a $6 million dollar Bugatti like super rare Bugatti.

And after he crashed it, he bought it back from insurance for like $2 million. And then it was going to cost him $2 million to have rebuilt, I think, by Bugatti. And he was like, oh, I'll just have Matt Armstrong, the YouTuber do it. And then Bugatti, the CEO who we were in Disney World with of Bugatti, went like on social media and was saying, you don't have the tools to rebuild it. It's going to be a safety hazard. Like there's only two places in the world that can take a Bugatti apart from like

separate the motor and transmission from the tub. And like you physically can't do it. They're doing it and they're like 3D printing all the parts because Bugatti will not sell them the parts. I know it sucks because I like Matei and I'm a Bugatti guy. You know, like I'm a fan of him or whatever. but like there was a whole thing about how you couldn't move the two separate parts of the car. And they used a caster wheels from the bottom of a trash can to move around. So it's interesting because it sucks because I get it for him.

He doesn't want to rebuild Bugatti that like could be cobbled together and not safe at 200 miles an hour. I think it's more just like the brand image aspect of it that like you can't rebuild this in your garage. And also especially can't 3D print the parts. Exactly. But also, Matt Armstrong is an insane use case. Like, Big Ranch probably, well, sorry, Big Ranch. Big Ranch probably couldn't rebuild a Bugatti in our garage. But, like, Matt Armstrong can.

He could. His sticker. Anything is possible. You're right. You're right. It is interesting because he's like kind of clowning them and, you know, it gets more engagement. But he's also like, but we're still open to if they want to come and help us.

It's like, why are they going to want to help you now, like after all that? But it's pretty cool watching Matt Armstrong because some, things like they had like a leak in one of the radiators on the frari and they just jb welded it so there's that like not kosher and then there's other things that they go in there and they do it better than how it was before and also his sourcing parts is just incredible i mean we have to source a lot of parts around here and it's like moderately difficult he's got to source parts for you know cars that they only made 200 of sometimes yeah i think uh stradman showed how difficult it is because he was trying to rebuild that ferrari for cheap that michael b jordan crashed or whatever and then

and how it's like not working. So when they put those cars back together, let's just say Matt Armstrong or or Goon Squad, they're building them. And obviously they're building them for YouTube and like kind of getting them done. And it's a rebuilt title, whatever. But like I'd be curious, like you have one that was never crashed in that one.

You drive it. Well, it's like our builds, you know, like they look good and they work. But like you couldn't build a bunch of them. I think it's- Also like case to case. Like I'm sure. or they have some that's like, dude, that's rough. And then they have other ones that are just like, wow, that thing's fully back to life.

It looks mint. I was just thinking because it'd be sweet. I wonder if I could buy one from like Goon Squad or something. I know. And just like if they ever are trying to liquidate, they got a bunch of dope vehicles. I think in the space we're in. And maybe it'd be a good price and maybe it makes sense to give me a little bit better of a deal because, you know, it's going to another channel.

I think in the space we're in that, that does make sense. Yeah, it would be very interested in that. But yeah, like typically, like when I'm looking at cars, I don't want to repeat. title, you know. But it would almost be better knowing... And those guys built it. You know, versus buying a rebuilt title from a dealership where they're like, yeah, we don't know much of...

Yeah, you don't know who built it. They also don't care. Yeah. I think these guys, like the YouTube rebuilders, probably do a lot better job than some of these shops. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. It is on camera. They got their name publicly on it versus someone who's like, let's just make it look

good and get it out. Or let alone, like, a lot of those cars, they don't even have a disclosed. that they were crashed, you know, like it gets crashed, and then you end up finding later on, you're modifying the exhaust. Like, oh, this thing's been crashed. Yeah. Like, but it's cool. Like, the community is very support.

Obviously, you have a lot of people that are like, bro, like, why would you do it like that, hating? And then you have a lot of other people. Someone will say, hey, I was a tech here at this, and this is how you do it. And then everyone will upvote it. So it goes to the top. So he sees it. And then he's like, thank you for everyone upvoting it.

Now I know how to fix that part. We've been caught up on this since the last video. That's sick. And it's like, so there's just so many stuff. He's, I don't know, he's pulling crazy views. Crazy views. Yeah, I think with the Matt Armstrong case, though, is like, he obviously does enough to get the video done on, like, the main channel of, like,

get in the car from wrecked to drivable condition. It looks good. It's YouTube worthy. You know, it looks good, but it probably doesn't have, like, all the bolts in the fender liner. It's probably missing some of the parts on the trunk. And then he has a second channel that I watch all the time that I almost enjoy. more because it's like more behind the scenes of like all right we just got all the parts in to finally

finish the g wagon build and it's not worth like showing on the main channel but it's like yeah we're going to get this thing you know buttoned up and then finish the build completely i think the issue with it at this point is a lot of those guys are so big you can't just sell a piece of shit that isn't fully done or it was half-assed when they were building it and then expect whoever buys it to not just be like, oh yeah, I bought one of his rebuilds and it's terrible shape. Yeah, that's all you need is another thing, man. Because if you're the buyer, you'd almost have to

Yeah, I think a lot of them have a name to uphold and a reputation and you're not trying to screw over your fans that you sell some. Yeah, it's interesting. If not even a creator bought it, if just a random fan bought it, but made a video on it, made a halfway decent video, that video would blow up regardless

of how many followers they had if the build was bad. I think it's, you know, obviously it's not the same in all cases, but rather than just a sketchy shop that does a sketchy rebuild of it, and then they're just like wash their hands of it, it's the next guy's problem, which a lot of people come out and make videos on those, but people don't care as much, obviously.

Gavin and I were just talking about, would you rather own a body shop or a mechanic shop? You have the mechanic shop where you send them on their way, like the car's fixed. If the motor runs, it's fixed for the most part. And if it doesn't run, then they'll come back. But a body shop, you got people that are picky. Like you might do a nine out of ten job and someone says that looks amazing and then someone else looks at the same job and goes like I'm not impressed with that work at all

Whereas like a mechanic shop like it's pretty straightforward Either one of them sound like a nightmare to own it'd be a lot like being a house builder like a contractor It's very subjective right you know like some people are like oh that's that looks great and other people are like this is not right at all You know like it would stress me out like doing that. Even like the mechanic shop, like you fix one thing and then the next day something else breaks. And then they're like, oh, you did this, which then broke this thing. It's like you can never win in some of those situations. Yeah.

Kind of like two separate worlds of problems, though, body shop to mechanics. It just makes me think of like all like the paint match TRX's. That was a huge undertaking. Yeah. How much money was that again? The bill was just shy of 22,000. 22,000 to paint match to TRXs. That shit's insane.

Yeah. And once they showed the photos, they had the doors off. It looks amazing. It looks amazing. And they did a great job. Like fucking 22 racks. I did not expect that. I thought 11 for both.

Yeah. So it's like bumpers, fender flares, grill. The bottom of the doors too. Vents on the hood. It's a lot of doors. It was the whole thing. I think it was worth it. I think it was worth it.

But like straight up, the TRX should not. It should just come. It should come. Like it's a hundred thousand dollar truck. Why is it? there any plastic on the outside. Well, right, and it's not going to come, like, as paint matches we got it, because, like, they just never do that.

But why do they got that black strip on the bottom? Yeah, it's so dumb. And then the matte black fender flare is like, what are we doing? I think it's because they want to hide rock chips. Like, that truck just throws up so many rocks. Like, mine literally was cooked. Your rear quarter panel, like, basically your bedside on your first TRX were cooked. But you also drove gravel roads every day.

True. But not much. And I'm sure you were ripping. Bahadry. Yes. Of course. You also had wheels that stuck out. All right.

Yes. But you know what I mean? That over time, the bottom would just like chip away. And so I'm sure that's it. They used to do it on old chabs. They'd put the plastic across the bottom. That's true. Yeah, suppose.

Evan and I saw two clean Tahos on after Lou. There was one. It was really clean. It had just a speck of rust on the front of the rear door. And it was pulling into the drive-thru at McDonald's. And about 30 seconds later, and even cleaner one drives out to drive-thru. I don't get a guy.

Do you imagine our state Monday morning? Holy fuck. Yeah, I'm running on four hours asleep, throwing my twisted tea away at the McDonald's and just excited beyond belief. We were enthralled with that, that's for sure. I can imagine. I think you should get like a Tahoe Ev,

maybe like an 04. Bourbon or a Tahoe with like 26es on it and have it like lowered and maybe it's like a white Tahoe with white big wheels like that. The thing is, is you guys are the people that think I like the big wheel. Especially that guy. It's like a huge misconception that like I like

donks more than like any of you guys. Like I look at him and I'm like maybe perhaps. Like I think I feel the same way that you guys do like. I think it's cool. Well, to be fair, we don't know. Why don't you get one? We need to get CJ a don't.

I don't necessarily like love Tahos and shit like that the way you do. I would rather just to have a crispy clean tawha. It doesn't need to have white 26es on it. For me to think it's sick, I guess is what I'm saying. I'm not, I mean, you can appreciate it in a stock form, but I was just saying it'd be even sicker. So you do like dogs? I think it's cool.

Okay, okay. He's projecting on you. I think it's cool. No, but I mean, yeah, I'd love to run back another hinder finder. Yeah. The white one was legendary. Did you see Sean's the guy that built the diesel drift? Yeah, it's super sick.

So sick. Pop that up, Kenny. The eight to one. That thing is amazing. Yeah. What I'd really like is a 90s, a 90s. A 90 Chevy. I don't know if RestoMod's the exact right word,

but, you know, with a modern 6-liter, maybe 6-2, Supercharger, tuned up, I think that would be like, like a pickup or... This is escalating quickly. Yeah, probably... Six-two with a supercharger is about as big as it gets. Restle-Lod.

It's just like a current... A current Chevy motor. I'm not even saying, like, a little VET motor or whatever. I don't even know what leaders those are, but yeah, just like an LS swap into an OBS, is what I'm saying. So sick. But I've also never been a big bourbon or Tahoe guy.

because where the fuck am I going to put my dirt bike? All right, Ken. That's what we needed to see. Let's watch this whole 41 minute video here. Go do is Instagram. Oh. See, CJ, tell me that wheel setup being way more lit than a donk set up. I mean, it's definitely more of a performance setup for sure.

Dude, like, that might be the most evan vehicle I've ever seen in my life. Obviously, besides for an El Camino, donked out and Lamborghini Gallardo. but third up, this thing is perfect. I put that at number one. Above an El Camino? Yeah, I don't know. I've only seen him drive the El Camino like twice. But what about his Lamborghini Gallardo?

Same. I'm scared for the day I come back to the shop and you got fucking 26es on the Lambo. Don't even think about it. Yeah. Don't even think about it. If it has 26s, you wouldn't drive it or what? That's just the next idea. I really think we need a dunk out of Evans Lambo.

I would never do that. It'd be messed up because it would just ruin it. Like, this is such a proper car. He's got to come, he's got to bring that up. Yeah, I agree. But we also, oh, it's so sick. You need one. You're going to want to buy it, aren't you?

I think we should. I mean, I think we should build one, maybe. Let's just think of one good reason not to. I can't. It's a practical rig. It can hold damn near everyone. But think about how many subwoofers you could put in the back. Oh. Half a dozen 15s.

A couple L brackets on those on the drift rig. add another alternator just in case. And then you could put, we can lay cement down and then do it on top of the cement so it had like a real foundation to just vibrate everything else in the car loose. That's what those guys do. Like our buddy Mark used to build vehicles for subwoofer competitions. You're saying you would ratchet strap the windshield in place so it wouldn't blow out. Really?

And they would put concrete in the car. Wow. I didn't know that part. Concrete? Yes. Like the floor? Why? Apparently it was it was better for the reason.

As soon as you surpass good sounding music, what the hell is the point? I watch them all the time. You know, the hairs flying around or they dump a bag of chips and it's floating? I think the love of the game. You know how freaking expensive those vehicles are? And it's just like absurd. Well, you remember seeing them at Seema. Yeah.

Yeah. It was kind of sick. Honestly, I was pretty stuck. That was like the first time I've seen a bushel in. Dude, when I was in high school, one of my buddies had like a 99. Tahoe with like subwoofer setup like that. Like I think there was like 15s or something. And then like some 12s, it was too much.

It was straight up too much. I couldn't ride in it with them. And then also to top that off, it was on like 24s that were white. It was white. It was pretty fucking sick actually. So you really just want me to buy your buddies Tahoe? That thing's long gone. But, uh, but yeah.

You don't hear like you used to drive around town and there were just all at most stoplights. There would be one part. Every once in a while you still do And honestly, you say that And some guy had blown out Buick That should not have had the subs That probably had in it And one reminded me of my high school career

And two, made me happy Just classic Trunks blown out But Justin's BMW Yeah, we had It was like the epitome of us He legitimately rattled that car apart Like it fell apart due to the subwifers

And then if you rode with him, you know, that he's just ripping it the entire time, like the subs, from the second you get in to the second you get to wherever you're going. It doesn't matter how long of a drive it is. If it's an hour long drive, you're going to be listening to the subs on full volume the whole time. And it's like, Justin,

I know your subs are super loud, bro. Let's maybe just tone it. I don't know if we need to do this. How many of those? Two, 12. He had two 12s, but he had two competition 12s. Same subs that are Ryan's Pondoon now. No, no, no.

Out of the boat and made waves on the outside of the boat. That was fucking awesome. Even Randy's coming around to that. He goes, you know, that was pretty cool. Like when you were doing it, I was kind of a little bit nervous because it was just our boat driving around and like the whole lake could hear the subs. He goes, now looking back, that was pretty cool. It's like, how do you make it more obnoxious for everyone on land? Yeah.

Bigger subs. Oh, man, that was so awesome. You sitting there. All the cans would be rattling around. A can with a quarter full would rattle out of the cup holder. That's freaking awesome. See, and this is the, that's awesome. This is the epitome of why people do it.

is like you see the look on Ryan's face how he's smiling thinking about that can rattling out of the cup holder it's just why it was lit too like if it was the right mood having those things going when you had the volume cranked made it more lit you don't hear a single lyric no it's just so even makes more because you're like in there with a bunch of people partying yeah you're not yeah not a driving in a three hour it was great that's where I thought it was the most funny is that you you would just look for any excuse to go driving. driving so you could blare your subs. And then, like, I remember when I was on pizza deliveries,

and I obviously have a giant sign for where I was delivering pizza and a number to call. And they would call in and be like, the bro and the maroon Buick's got a chill on the subs. Because you were just blare in them. And I couldn't chill. So we got more calls, you know, like I would turn it down for the night. And then I'd back to delivery the next day. And they'd be like, bro, the guy drove by again, could hear it in my house.

Like, why is that piss people off so bad? drove by my house and I heard it. He's shaking everyone's china on their house. Mike, those pizzas had to have been cold by the time that they got to wherever they were going. If you were the delivery man. I mean, you have the heater bags. It's still only good for an hour. Mike trusted the heater bags for three hours.

Mike had to go to the gas station and maybe wash his car a little bit. My ice cream was melting. I would have got fired so fast if that were the case. The only time I delivered cold pizzas was when I told this story before, but I put my car in the ditch, I left it in drive since it wasn't moving because I was in a panic. And I grabbed my snowboard out of the seat and then like shut my doors and then my door is locked. And I'm like, my car's in the ditch. The pizzas are in it and I'm locked out.

And it's in drive. Yeah, and in drive. And my boss is like, what does? Yeah, that's insane. Why don't you grab your snowboard? You're not just locked out of the car. It's in drive. That is funny though.

That in a panic situation, I left the Hoonah truck, the 4-7, Cheeto truck. in drive when the wheel fell off because it was at a complete stop. So I get out and I'm like jacking it up or whatever. It starts moving. And then it starts going. That was amazing. So, I mean, it happens when you're flustered. I can understand.

That was the only time I delivered cold pizzas. I love the joke, Ben. But yeah, I would have got fired if I would have done shit Ken was saying. Going to the gas. Like, you can't just go fuck off. You got to deliver the pizzas. Also, you want good tips. So like every minute counts.

And the faster you get it there. What kind of tips were you getting like a buck? Dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At that time, five bucks was a good tip. Five bucks, you were like, let's go. Those people are bawling. And then, like, you might catch, like, not that uncommon for someone to be like,

keep the change and they would just round up. It was like a cent. Yeah, I mean, like, it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They might write a check for 37 and the total was 36 25. Recollecting checks? Yeah, yeah, whatever, yeah. I suppose.

Checks were way relevant. They would pay a phone. They would pay when you would pay when you. would deliver. Yeah, it was actually way more common for checks and cash than it was to pay over the phone when I first started. Pre-Uber Eats days. Yeah. It's a lot's changed. And Uber Eats is like just coming to the area that I live in, the town that I live in. It's pretty small town. And I think there's like, there's got to be like one person that delivers. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, well, you got to see if they're on the other side of town because if they are, it's just you're going to have to wait. You're probably

behind somebody else in line. But I, dude, I'm still mind blown every time it gets delivered. my house. I'm like, holy shit. We're living in the future. Bro, when a laundry night figured out we had it, I don't think we opened the fridge for a month. We just, we door-dashed everything. It was awesome. The one guy is just straight from Zorbas to your house. Yeah, just all the bars and restaurants backdows. Calls you up. Hey, you guys not home tonight? You okay, does wellness check on me because I didn't order any food.

Yeah, it checks in. You should probably just work a deal with him, cut out the middleman. Yeah, I'm probably right, honestly. Just text them, yeah. Doesn't Walmart deliver? Groceries too? They do. They deliver out here. I actually haven't used that one, but

Nikki does it all the time, and I'm just like, go to the fucking store. Like, it drives me nuts. She literally is not doing anything else. I'm like, we're 10 minutes from Walmart.

Just go and get it. And I don't want some weirdo touching my groceries anyhow. What's it cost? It's free. No. If you have Walmart plus, it's free.

Well, I don't subscribe to that, so I'm sure she's paying. I get your point, though, I'm just slightly more. It's not. You got a tip on whatever.

The city. It was always like, we have delivery. Oh, I don't, I'm like, why are we always doing delivery? It's like five minutes away. Plus, I like to browse. Same. But, you know, we're just, we live in a place where, like, to go get, you know, most things, you got to travel a little bit.

But, I mean, if the store is five minutes away, like, I don't mind driving. The good thing about getting it delivered is you are a little more selective with what you get because you don't browse. That's true. You don't hit the or. at the end of the aisle. Because you've already added them. That's true.

I would never go or place a Walmart order without Oreos. But, you know, something else of the sort, an ice cream bar or something like that, you know? Ken, how many subscriptions do you think you have? Netflix, YouTube TV. It's going to be a lot, boys. HBO. No, I don't have that one. I got Walmart Plus because it's free with my American Express card.

Disney, because that's free with my American Express card. Express card. Blue? Yeah, the Disney bundle. It's free American Express. I'm like, how often are you going to Disney? You need a subscription. Oh, Spotify.

Do you have Coinbase one? Oh, I do have Coinbase, yep. Yeah. I think that's it. I bet you could add five more on there. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Definitely five more.

I always get an ad for, I don't even know what it is. I don't want to plug them either, but one of those companies that like, oh, sign up for our subscription to see what you're subscribed. Yeah. And I'm like, I should really do that, but I'm going to forget to cancel that subscription after it cancels all the other ones. But I'd imagine that I have so many subscriptions that I don't even know exist. Yeah.

Just go through your credit cards. Oh, yeah. Oh, don't forget about the car wash too. Oh, yeah. I forgot that one night when we were drinking beers, I got a peacock subscription so we could watch Supercross. But forgot I had done that. So then I was still like asking Slim for his peacock account so I could watch Supercross at my

house and then finally realize that like i i've had my own subscription for like a year ESPN no i don't know don't subscribe to either those i think you know i get ESPN with the disney bundle but it's ads do you have any news sources that you're subscribed to no right you got to like all the streaming subscriptions i know you have if you can subscribe to it i have yeah ryan's definitely got the most i do yeah for 100% premium on everything right uh i did run hulu with ads for a while but I recently upgraded. I'll tell you this. The only subscription that I use on a daily basis that I think everyone in the world should have is YouTube premium.

I agree. I'm dropping the ball on that one. It's so good. And it's cheap. It's cheaper than Netflix. It's cheaper than Hulu, all these apps that you might use once a week, right? If you use YouTube every single day like I do. Like, yeah.

100% worth it. No ads. YouTube TV is by far the best. like TV streaming subscription, I believe as well. And it's a double, a double whammy with like YouTube. I know there's YouTube music too, but you can access all the songs with YouTube premium.

When you have YouTube premium, you can listen to music and then you can shut your phone off. Okay, so I guess what I'm getting at is, yeah, like you can't listen to music with Netflix and Hulu, but you can with YouTube. It's a good point, Mike. There's a lot, but yeah. You can't listen to Life Wide Open podcast on Hulu.

Exactly. Yeah. One day you will, though. I think that it's going to be Netflix is going to continue to take over the streaming platforms of YouTube and Spotify. I bet. I don't think Netflix is taking over. I think they're going the other way. We've basically just gone full circle and now it's your cable again.

Maybe not going down, but their content is becoming such Netflix exclusive stuff and everyone else is everyone has their own apps. No, I think that Netflix is going to like give creators deals. So you just release your podcast. Prime has already done that. Prime bought, like, Ryan Tran's Penny series. They bought a shitload of Mr. Bees videos. And they're just playing them on there. At first I got excited.

And then I was like, oh, these are just YouTube videos that they paid for, you know, re-licensed, which makes sense. I did see that Netflix's share of streaming time is down, but stock is up. Do with that what you will. I just saw this chart where it was like of the content on Netflix, what's like produced by Netflix? It's like the percentage is at like at an all-time high.

because it's like Disney Plus and Paramount and whatever. Everyone just does their own. That's all I meant. Yeah. Can I ask Ben why you had four crispy? Oh, but before that, this is going to be relevant to what we were just talking about. Ryan, I saw you got a gift in the mail from Spotify.

Oh, yeah, I did. Ryan Iworks. The Armchair Athlete Rapped Awards 2025. What? Spotify sent me a wrapped gift. And I wasn't sure if it was for the podcast or being qualified. or just for my alter ego, Ryan, I guess. Can you imagine the songs?

Did the songs exist on Spotify yet? No. Can you imagine? Ryan and his agent are the laziest artist in existence, apparently trying to get their music to the world. I do got a phone. But how funny would it be if it was for Quad? You don't even have songs on Spotify.

The armchair athlete raptor? What that is this a joke? I actually don't know what the hell it was for. What is the card set to me, not to the last? LifeWitome podcast, but the box was addressed to the LifeWit Open podcast. Oh. And what did the little card say it was for the top? I was listening to the most sci-fi and action audio books, which I have never listened to

a moment in my life. Okay, so that is the reasoning behind it. So I didn't bring it up. I actually was the box that was sitting right here for like three weeks. I never brought it up because it never made any fucking sense to me. I guarantee this is why they said, all right, who do we send this award to? And they say, well, how about we send it to the game? guy that we send the money to every month.

Oh, that's a good idea. That's a good idea. That's solid gold. Ryan I works. The only one making money here. I think that part makes sense, but then the armchair athlete wrapped awards. Maybe they just saw how athletic I am. I feel like giving someone a trophy that's like armchair athletes, like almost offensive. I think that's a joke.

Do you want to receive an award for sitting in a chair? Slimwood. Have you seen your award? Do you have an award? Do you have a piece of solid? gold Spotify. This thing is heavy. It's pretty nice.

Well, let's get to these beers over here before they get warm. What do we got going on? So Ben made an accusation earlier that Keystone was the worst beer. And I love Keystone. And then I told him, you could have a Coors in a Keystone, and you wouldn't know the difference. And I said, I guarantee I do. Are these they labeled? Do you got drink it and tell which ones are they labeled with like a one?

Is this for me? Yeah. Oh, nice. Nice. All right. All right. So we have four different beers here. Coors, Keystone, Bush, and Miller.

I'm not a huge beer drinker, but I feel like I can decipher which one is which. And I know Evan can. That's not a question here. But Evan said that you will not be able to tell the difference between Coors or Keystone. And I think I can. Is there a difference?

Yes, people out there you say, of course there's a difference. Sure. I'll admit there's a difference, but can you taste it? No. I don't know. All right, we're about to find out. I'm the judge over here. I got the list.

I think you guys should all do it. I'd like to, yeah. Let me have it. I'll do it. Ooh, this is actually going to be way harder than I thought. You're going to guess that? Right, right away, you're going to guess what you think it is? No, can I, can I try it first?

I can tell which one is the Miller from over here. Damn your drink, half of it. Oh, God. This is actually way harder than I thought. Oh, I know that one. Yeah, we'll give you bonus points if you can guess all of them have. You can have another one of whatever flavor you guess right. Yeah.

But if you get them wrong, you don't get any beers. This is very hard. Okay, I think I got her. Nice. All right. I straight up can't tell the difference. Send it back over here. That is interesting that you guys are struggling to decipher on Miller.

I thought Miller would have been a clear outlier. Because I like all three of these beers except for Miller. Miller. Okay. All right, Ben's two swigs in on all four beers. He's got his list. Evan made his list pretty quick. You ready?

I'm ready. At the edge of my seat over here. Should I say it? Yeah. All right. The first one is Coors. Okay. The second one is Keystone.

The third is Miller and the fourth is Bush. Okay. Miller, Keystone, Coors, Bush. Am I fucked? What's the answer? No, you guys both have Keystone as number two. So there's that. Who's got the answers?

I have the answers, but are, you're going to guess? No, I'm, I'm, I'll just let them do it. I have no clue. I have no fucking clue. Evan just astonishingly zero out of four. Then I would switch it to Bush, Coors, Keystone, Miller. Still wrong.

All that beer drinking, you can't tell a single one. He likes the effects, not the taste. Did I get any right? What was yours? Coors, Keystone, Miller, Bush. Okay. Of course, correct. Then Bush, which could be pretty easily mixed up with Keystone.

I agree. Then Miller. Then Keystone. You got two, right? So Miller was number three. So, Ev, you just said. So Bush is now your favorite beer. Oh, yeah.

You're a Bush guy now. You're no longer a Keystone guy. I don't like Bush. You just said, I love that taste. You did say that. Oh, I know that one. It really did taste like a Keystone. For a second there.

That's so interesting because if someone was like, hey man, do you want a Miller? I would, I would legitimately say, I'm good. And now I feel like an idiot. I will say this.

They all taste the exact same. That's what's thrown off. They're very close. Yeah. I think when you drink them out of the glass. Questioning life right now. Stone was the last one. I also think there's a huge difference when you're five or six in.

That's when that taste really starts to matter. Well, no, I think the taste only matters on the first. one. Dude. Why would it matter after four or five? This is why it's important.

I got a little tummy and five or six beers is a lot so they got to taste premium. Here's the piss. Well, yeah. I mean, I max out of like three. That's not how things work. You want to what I think is the most important thing? How cold it is. Yes.

The coldest, whatever one's the coldest is probably the best beer, at least in my opinion. And I think there might be something to do with if it's out of a can, a glass, a bottle, if it was, you know, poured into the bottle or if it was poured, you know, like those tasted really good for some reason. I'm not necessarily, I haven't been drinking a lot of beer, but it's beer. Sometimes I get kind of beard out. Like, they just, I don't know. I've never ordered a Miller Light or drank a Miller Light outside of a music festival where it's 95 degrees and the beer is half warm anyways. So normally I thought, oh, I just don't like Miller Light. And then I had this one, which is straight out of the fridge and it was good. You can have another? I probably will.

You're going to finish those? You're going to have them. Let me take a sip of number three when you get it over here. Here, sidebar, though, for a TikTok, we should honestly just have a straw into four different cans and have Evan fucking. We'll do it again. The straw is going to throw off the taste. It will, but we'll do them fresh out of the fridge. I just hate that I hate that I know.

What if you just blindfolded him? I hate that I know now. You just do it in a box and the box is open to the camera, but he has the straw into him. I don't know. I'm sorry you think maybe there's a little dish soap left in this cup. This Keystone ain't tasting right. Okay. Well, all right.

I don't know what that proved. I don't know if that proved actually anything because I was wrong. And Evan was more right. Evan was more wrong. It did get you to take a sip of beer, which is good. And it brought Keystone awareness. And next week, Ryan will be doing this with Mountain Dew. Oh, yeah.

What about like Diet Coke, Ryan? I've seen the videos of people trying like Diet Coke from McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, out of a can, out of a bottle. I guess you're a Coke I don't like Diet Coke And I think I'm like normal Coke Could you do it with normal Coke? No

I maybe Maybe a can versus McDonald's But other than that I mean yeah Shit tastes different Out of plastic or metal Like that's why it's different Or a bottle you open and close

Like a can you open it once It just sits there But every time you open the bottle It goes like And it loses its carbonation There was this old timer I used to work with That lived off of Coca-Cola

and he would go into a gas station, he'd buy a full 12 pack. He would take a drink off one can, throw it out the window, take another can, take a drink out of it, throw that out the window, maybe get to the third one. And if he decided, he go, they're all bad. He'd throw the whole box out the window. He just liked littering. Yeah.

Seriously, he'd just throw him out of the window. He was so anal about his food. I seen him do the same thing with two orders of chicken wings because he was going to bring him back to the hotel and keep him. He eats one chicken wing pitches him, goes to the other box. They're fucked. Throw him off the window.

You know how annoying that be to, like, date someone like that? He'd also buy almond Hershey's bars, but he didn't like nuts, and he'd suck the chocolate off the nuts and then spit the nuts on the floor because he said the chocolate was better. He's making life so much harder than it eats to me. But the thing was the first time I saw him do it, because he's maybe he's missing teeth to begin with. What a prima don't.

I thought he was spitting his teeth out. He probably was. It was no good. It was the omens. Dude, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. What the fuck's wrong with this guy? Shout out, Chet. R-I.P.

All the chickens that have to die to make a couple trays of wings, and he eats one and goes, they're all bad. And I'm, like, the most anti-litter guy around. Like, I don't litter. But when I'm driving a vehicle down the freeway and this psychopath, where he's just throw, like, there's literally nothing I can do. If I yell at him, he might throw me out of the window. So, hold on.

Were his taste buds that dialed? that he could taste the difference of a good Coke out of a can versus a bad? And that's the thing. It's not like he was pissing money like he was, you know, living on a budget, spending his money on this stuff. So I don't know what the disconnect was. Well, what would he say? I don't know.

He'd just say it's bad Coke. There's a bad Coke. The whole box is bad. Or the chicken is just bad. I don't know. How do you end up dying? I just, he was just rotten, I guess. Holy shit.

He just hit his body shut down or whatever. Okay. Ryan's dad, he loves Coca-Cola, but his go-to is the bottled Coke. And if he's working on a project and you go to that project, he's a contractor and say we're walking through a house that he's showing us that he's building,

there's Coke bottles in every single room. Like half full? Not even. Not even. Like three-four's full. Like he drinks the first quarter of it, which I thought that this is what that guy was going to be. Like he would do that too.

And then set it down and then moves on to the next one. Oh, I need a Coke. and then cracks a new one. Like every single room has like three different Coke bottles. Like you'll just drink the first sip and then crack a new one. That's his method of not like when he says he's cutting down on pop, he won't finish. Now he's down to cans.

But like he would normally just finish the whole bottle. But he's like, all right, I don't need to drink anymore. So I'm just going to not finish this drink. Still going to have another one in like an hour or two. But like that's his way of like not drinking as much. I just assume he always wanted the freshest Coke possible. So he would take the first couple of sips and then be like, I'm done with this. I can't let it sit for more than 10 minutes.

No, not 10 minutes. But, yeah, no, he's not going to, he's not like a, oh, I'm just going to drink a warm Pepsi because I'm not going to have a warm Coke rather because I'm going to have a not. Can you imagine? He's just the Pepsi? I don't know why I blacked out. Sorry. But like, yeah, he would be like, well, if I'm going to have a pop, it might as well be cold and fresh. So if it's been sitting on the shelf or on the thing for, you know, an hour and it's warm,

you just like, I'll just go grab a freshie. It's mainly the Coke guys against Pepsi. Like, I like Mountain Dew, way more than mellow yellow. But you know what? When I go to the restaurant and they bring me a mellow yellow, it's fine. But the Coke guys, if they say we have Pepsi, they're disgusted. Yeah, no. See, I'm not like that.

But I'm lucky because I like Mountain Dew so I can switch. I like Coke and I like Mountain Dew. Yeah. That's a balanced life right there. It is, exactly. Because then it would suck if I liked mellow yellow and Coke Because like then you go to another restaurant, you're fucked Who the hell likes mellow yellow?

Yeah, Mountain Dew. I don't know. I think it's got to be regional. Maybe, maybe. I don't know. But it's like Pepsi. For some reason Pepsi is a big company. I don't know who the hell is drinking it.

Dr. Pepper. No, Dr. Pepper's their own thing. Really? They are not owned by Pepsi anymore? Pepsi just distributed it. Huh. Because I think it's Kuregg and Dr. Pepper the same company? I did not know that.

I wonder there's such a force. I thought Dr. Pepper was just floating Pepsi along all this time. Dude, pop is so strange. So good. It's really bad. It's been on the decline since 2000. Wow. Pop consumption.

Seems like they're doing fine. Ryan is doing everything. I'm not saying they're not doing good, but it's interesting. Yeah. A lot of people now will drink energy drinks where maybe a few years ago would just have some some pops. We'd walk in the gas station and there's like the two doors that have all the pops in them and there's like four doors that have all the different varieties of energy drink

and white gummy bear cooler of just like mountain dew yeah that is interesting think as like you got to get up early it's either coffee or like mountain dew or you know obviously coke whatever but coffee or mountain dew and now it's like coffee or whatever energy drink you want yeah i feel like i rarely see anyone drinking pop anymore like i mean obviously like you drink pop ryan randy drinks pop but like when I was a kid, everyone drank pop. Like, I probably drank a pop or two a day. I probably drank a pop a day. You know, like, at least.

And like my parents, like, we just had it. Like, I feel like it's just kind of crazy how it's been on the decline. Ben's like not in my house. I'll do like a Celsius or a monster a day. Yeah. Shut. No. How about when you were a child?

How about when you had a coffee or a monster of Celsius and a coffee all before 9 a.m.? Yeah, that was. That was insane. And then you had a second coffee at Starbucks. That was crazy behavior, Ken. You had, what was it, 900 milligrams of caffeine? Before lunch? I was tired.

I was just trying to be. I don't know if that's going to help. When was this? When CJ was getting his wisdom teeth out? Ken was caffeinated as well. He was caffeine maxing, really. Yep. On the Shred 80 program.

Which I'm pretty concerned about our buddy, shred 80. What was he doing? 1,200 milligrams of caffeine a day? Like 4 Celsius? It's a good moderation. What's the Celsius? 300 or 200? The big ones are 300.

The little ones. 200. You know, it varies. I don't drink Celsius. There was one exploded in my back seat, and I had to think for a second, and I looked in the bag, and there was a Danish. Shred 80 left his bag in the back of my Raptor. How long was it in that?

A long time. I just hadn't got to the bottom of the mess, and then, yeah, exploded Celsius all over my seat. There are heaping mounds of bottles and trash in Evans Raptor, but now that I hear that you're this big non-littering guy, you can't blame him. No, you can't hate a guy for that. Yeah. You just live in your littering. So, Ev, you are making a deal with the ops.

I am. Oh, sorry, let me rephrase this. You made a deal with the ops. I did. So Evan is having his truck worked on by our buddy Jake. We are currently in a prank war with. I'm very nervous. As a trade for something.

And we don't know exactly what that something is. I was going to hold his keys hostage after I let them. peanut us. You know, it's hard to say. It's hard to say. It's not hard to say. I'm saying. For debate.

Okay. So, Evan made a deal with Jake's team. They're going to fix his Raptor. But here's the deal. I think it's going to be deeper than they think. You have a car bomb in there. No, no, no, no, no. Once they start getting into it, once they get out of their shop can explore.

It just needs a lot of love. Since I've gotten that truck, I've put 90,000 miles on it. And I haven't done anything, but two sets of tires and, and, uh, and, uh, some soft brake lines. How many oil changers? Oh, one every 10,000? Nah, every 7,000. I underestimated how little maintenance you did on that.

Yeah, there's not been a serious thing. But, like, the front end, it's got about 160, 165,000 miles. The front end is just blow it out. Like, I can't go over 70 miles an hour in it at the moment. The heat, yeah, it's bad, like really bad. The ball joint, like they're not there. Well, good thing you drive like a grandpa. Well, I have to.

It's not even an office. Well, yeah, it works out, though, for your driving. And then, uh, and then, uh, and then, uh, no heat. None of that. The lack of. Yeah. Yeah, the lack of heat. And then on the reverse side, right, lack of air conditioning. Yeah, but the air, it will, the heat's more of a problem. But yes, it's both. It's, it's the climate control.

Okay. And then the, um, I thought that maybe because the raptors are notorious. Oh, yeah, the exhaust shield, but that's nothing. I just neglected that. Your backup camera occasionally causes the radio not to work. Well, maybe. We don't know that. and they're not even going to probably get into that. That's a whole separate issue. Power steering pump.

Sorry. Crack tail light. The, the, God damn it. No, they're notorious for power steering pumps going out. Like,

CJ blew it out before I even got it. However, but it was fixed. We gave you new one. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Yeah, right.

I'm just saying they're notorious. That's like a first-gen flaw. Like the power steering pumps, half revs at full crank. It's just, problem is, is I don't think it's actually the power steering pump,

which is a reasonable fix. it sounds like it's actually the whole like steering rack, which from Ford cost is like $2,500, just for that steering rack, which I think they're thinking that they're going to put a couple hundred dollar power steering pump in this thing and it's going to work, but I don't think that's the problem. So you're saying you have to cut a bigger deal with them?

No, no, nope. The deal's already made. They're going to fix it all. Man, imagine how nice that truck would be if you just fix the things when the maintenance came up or when they broke. Just took care of it? Right.

Or just. However, I didn't. I made it this long. And now I'm saving myself probably upwards of $5,000 right now. You can't put a price on $5,000 for driving a truck. By making a deal. No air conditioning. Can't go over 70 miles per hour.

The ball joints really got bad within the last month or two, though. That was extreme. The heat thing, pretty crazy. I've went three with three Minnesota winners. Three Minnesota winners. I just don't understand it. I've seen you flush $5,000 on. pole taps.

I wouldn't be able to afford to do that if I fix my truck. Hey, and you know what else? That's a lie. It's the priorities. You would rather just spend your money on gambling and other recreational things. No, I was thinking about my future knowing that it would get fixed. And how has that? This is just a dumb luck situation where I'm very stoked.

It's happening. where Jake and Tony offer a way to fix your pickup for a little information. Is that what the deal was? No, it was for keys to their truck that I stole and I was going to hold them hostage to give back to you guys. And I just go watch the video, Ken. You know, it's just hard to say if you can believe what you see. You think I gave them information.

I think the verdict still is out. You can never believe everything you see on the internet. But I'm pretty stoked to get the Raptor back up in tip top shape. but I'm also a bit nervous. You think they're going to fuck with it? Perhaps. Honestly, it could happen. Perchance.

I mean, they already told me it's going to be like at least like two weeks. They can do a lot in two weeks. What if they wrap it pink? Honestly, I think they're going to already put that into existence. I'm like, God, I just hope they don't fucking wrap it pink. What if they paint it? I'm like, you guys are going to make them rapid pink. It's not even going to be them.

You guys are going to step in and be like rapid pink. And then it's just going to be like, God damn it. Now I have to drive a silver truck because I'm going to rip it off. immediately. And it's like, I actually like the red. And now I'm going to have to drive a silver truck. So. Because I'm not going to spend $7,500 to rewrap it.

You don't think you would like if we donked it? That would be funny. Okay. See, here's the thing. If you donk it, it'll be great. I'll burn the tires off. Everything will be great. And then I can go back to the way it was.

If it goes wrap pink, it's just never going to be red again, unless you rewrap it for, for, forever. Who would put it back to the way it was? I think so. There's just, like, other cooler things. Spend money on the Lambo or do, or, like, even literally just buy a whole other suburban or anything. Rather than, like, take my daily and buy something else. Like, I think the first-gen Raptor really is the perfect truck. Contrary to what I said about, like, I haven't fixed anything,

but I would always reason it's an affordable truck to fix. You know, it's... If you wanted to fix it. Especially when you don't. But I mean, it's a good old fashion. It's a V8 with a 6 speed transmission. It's not twin turbo V6 with a fucking 11 speed or whatever the hell are in. Like, it's just way less.

It's just a perfect truck. I agree. It toes great. They towed way better than Ben's Raptor. It does tow, but it's sacked out. So I don't know. I just think it's a perfect truck. It does everything I want it to do.

So I'm like, I might as well just keep putting that. I'm running over 200 for sure. Oh, so have that by spring. Can't maybe not. Do you think are you worried about possibly falling in love with Ken's Raptor when he borrows it to you? Ooh. No, I'm not waiting. I don't see it.

Falling in love, but it seems like a little go kite. My Raptor just kind of like becomes the rig that everyone drives when their vehicles are in the shop or broken. I only get to drive it like every couple months. It is nice if you can. Whenever you guys call your Bronco Raptors raptors, raptors, I get they are raptors, but it always throws me off. I never did that. It's a Bronco Raptors. We've caught Ken even calling it a truck before.

Big difference. You can't call an SUV a truck. I think he got a severe spanking for that one. You did verbally. Yeah, that one's just a little far-fetched. Yeah, I did stretch it a little bit on that one. Plus, you've seen the way that Tony's been twisting up Raptor frames lately? You know they have possession of mine?

That's true. They might jump it just for fun. What if it comes back in worse shape? That'd be a funny prank. It's more fucked up and it's like, well, this is what you get for not fixing it. Comes back with a Cummins motor in it. Ken, you're coming up with good ideas. We put Gavin's old Cummins motor in it.

It would... Yeah, that would suck. That would suck. It'd be like, prank me on the El Camino. Because it's awesome, but I don't rely on it every single day. The Raptor's just like shoving a stick in someone's spokes. Like, it's really wrecking their day. You have to drive your Lambo.

Yeah, when it's 20 below out. Put winners on it. It's fucking. rear wheel drive, bro. And I know Mike does it with his core. It's just not a winter car. You just need to put a new battery in it and it's good to go. That gives me way more traction on the ice.

You're right. Well, it's good thing. It's basically spring. There's no ice on the roads anymore. And you know what? Honestly, it is so by far the nicest thing I've ever had. I never thought I'd own a freaking Lambo. I don't want to fucking wreck it.

That's valid. For no goddamn reason. Like, both of you guys literally slid off the road, like not even moving. you didn't have the right tires on it. And now I'm going to pull this thing out, and I'm going to be right where you guys were. I want to make it out the driveway. That's true.

You would know very quick. I'm just trying to, like, at least make it until summer. And then I can enjoy it. But if I pile it up now, I'll have to daily drive the El Camino. I wouldn't mind that, honestly. It's great car.

I'll do it if I have to. I would have to switch the wheel set up, though, I mean, why? Well, that's why when you're like, if you guys don't, you hit it, even the one time you're like, bro, I got like the same size tires on my Lamborghini, and I'm like, I don't think so.

And they were parked next to you're like, oh, yeah, those are way. Like, dude, they are actually absurd. You feel it all. Dude, you really do. And in that El Camino suspension, it's, you know, not exactly modern. Existent. Yeah, it's a rough ride. But can't put a price on style.

It's true, man. When you love donks the way that you do, you're willing to sacrifice. I do got to get a second battery in there, too, for the stuff. I only bang for like 30 seconds and I start getting interference from the alternator. Yeah. Do you think if you ever got another vehicle? So say you get a fourth vehicle

like you're talking about getting a Tahoe. Would you do a red one? I think you got to stay with red at this point. You have three red vehicles. No, no, no, no. I actually have a fourth red vehicle. You guys just like don't know about it. I have a 65 Plymouth.

It's fucking sick. Just sitting in storage back home. So yeah, you have a fifth red vehicle. I think you got to stick with red. You've also got that Buick. just sitting in the field. What type, it's not red. It's like maroon, isn't it there?

That's just pure. You guys happen to notice that anything Evan cares about, we have no idea that it exists. Would you like me to drive the whole Plymouth out here next summer? I don't think that you'd let us be around it. I would. I wouldn't look at it. I'd take you guys for a ride.

Touch it. We're going to film a video one day where we go up to Evan's stomping grounds and we break his shit. That's my breaking everything. Everything I've worked my whole life for just gone and seconds Ben just happier in hell

Happier than a pig and shit Oh is this a really Is this that nice snowble you were talking about And just kick the windshield of it It's like God It's a good idea I probably do deserve it honestly But nothing's off limits

Vehicles like your plumbing Family heirlooms Could be broken I can take care of the plumbing Oh Oh Oh And that actually is a

side note on that Plymouth that is a family heirloom is a little my grandpa's stepdad whatever he passed down yeah yeah that's why i haven't took it out because there was a time where i was going to like motor swap it and do stuff and then it's like it's just vin matching all original type of thing where it's like now that i have other stuff that's cool and like it's not even worth don't even look at it just don't even look at it leave it under a cover it's under a roof you're good drive it once a year and let her sit Little investment sitting there, Rav. It's only investment if you sell it, I ain't going to sell it. I'll pass it along.

Net worth goes up in value until we have something to do with it. Give you a little taste of your own medicine. The barn it's staying and falls on it. Ben hits it like you hit the chicken coop. I accidentally hit the brakes late. Well, as long as that video, I get the revenue from, then we'll call it even. Because that's usually all it works, right? I break and.

Yeah, we'll see. I don't know if that would be. We'll see if that'll cover it. I don't think you want to make that deal. Oh, shit. Got a lot to think about. Yeah, we do. Maybe not that much.

I think we got to go and really get to the bottom of this, this beer situation. And I don't know if the evidence is there. I think maybe things have been tampered with and we just can't be sure. We could try what Mike said. After five, it's different. So we'll try that. Yeah, we'll get right to it.

And honestly, I mean, given the circumstances, is Evan, I am happy for you for your truck. It's awesome to see it get some maintenance. It's a little scary that who is coming from. It might impact the rest of the crew, but we don't know yet. We might have to hop in on it, if anything. He's at the most risk, that's for sure. Yeah, that is true.

Unless Evan put a car bomb in his Raptor, then they're at the most risk. It's going to come back looking like Ben Subaru. That's what I'm scared. We have, like, cameras on their shop. We call them over the things in there. They were like, all right, everyone's out of the shop, right? they're like, yeah, what are you got going on? See this?

What is that? That's our shop. It's our detonator. Film their reaction. Yeah, that would definitely be pretty good prank to get them back. I just hope they surprised me with how awesome it is. And not surprise me with what the hell did you do. I guess we'll see about that.

Only time will tell. Time will tell. And we might have to intervene. You're definitely fucked. You're definitely fucked. You're just telling you are. You're going to have to. Without even else intervening, I'm sure they're pranking you.

Well, as long as you drive my Bronco less than Gavin did, it's probably fine. Well, he's probably going to be driving for a while. How many miles was that? Like 10,000? Gavin drove it for six months. Miles. I don't remember what the mileage was. I would be curious, though. If they do destroy your truck, you could always head over to CYCV.com and get
