All the Epstein files, like, I don't know what to believe.
Is it a Roli?
No.
Can't afford a Roli?
They packing peanut it, us.
It got out somehow.
We don't know how they found out.
You can't say that out loud in public.
There's children around.
Did you know that Ken had a birthday party?
I didn't.
No, I wasn't invited.
All right.
Welcome back, boys and girls to the Life Wide Open podcast.
Yes, we got Ken, Evan, Ryan, and Ben.
Thanks for having me, Mike.
Yeah, of course.
How are you guys doing?
Doing good, brother.
How are you doing?
So good.
Like, Camel pants.
I put them on this morning.
I'm just like, uh, someone else is probably going to be wearing them, but.
No, camo pants, Ryan?
No, I wore a camel sweatshirt.
It's hard to mix the camos.
You should kind of look like.
And I actually thought about ripping that hoodie just to be funny.
And just, just dead wood on dead wood.
Double camo it.
Yeah.
Ryan, you are now the outfit of the day guy.
Really?
Yeah, like if I post a picture, like putting on a new monosuit,
people are just like kind of gay, huh?
Outfit of the day.
See, you're doing it.
You're doing it.
You're doing it.
The outfit of the days,
isn't it crazy?
Like how quickly that happens, you know, like,
CJ's just like, Ryan, what's up with the outfit of the day?
Snapchat.
And now you're just the outfit of the day guy, even unless, you know,
I start posting them to my snap story every, every day.
Like, this is what I'm wearing today.
Would be pretty funny.
So I've been on this, like, Tourette's TikTok.
where there's this girl.
I think her name is like Bailey,
but she has Tourette's,
and apparently she's super famous.
She got like 12 million followers on TikTok.
She used to have like a TLC show or something.
Greta was filming me in on it.
But she does Outfit of the Day with her boyfriend, Colin, Colin.
Does she yell Colin every time?
Yes.
It's like one of her triggers.
So now I'm on like outfit of the day TikTok because I like,
I watch all of hers because she says like the most outlandish shit.
Okay.
And now I think the algorithm thinks.
that this is what I want to see.
You're more on the Tourette side of TikTok instead of the outfit of the day side.
Yeah, more so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did she have the one have the show on TV on TLC?
Like Baylon out loud?
It's her.
That's her.
Oh, sorry.
My ears aren't working today.
It's okay.
Have you guys seen the Tourette's South Park episode?
If you haven't watched it.
All right.
Anyway, I don't think I have.
It's so funny.
It's so good.
You got to watch it.
Cartman pretends to have Tourette's and then he actually gets Tourette's.
Oh, really?
Tourette's crazy dude
I mean obviously
It's terrible for the people that have it
But like the shit that they say
And yet they're still just like
Running loose
In public
Loose
It's kind of like with Grandpa Ron
Yes essentially yeah
It's like grandpa you can't
You can't say that out loud in public
There's children around
Old people always say crazy stuff
Yeah they do
But like people with Tresti
obviously can't help it, right?
And they say some of the most vulgar shit you'll ever hear.
But I think old people just don't care.
But can they not help it or do they just use that as an excuse so they can say whatever they want?
That's fucked up, Ken.
That is pretty messed up.
That's what they cover in the South Park episode.
People with Tourette's?
Yeah.
I mean, are they just using that as a cover like, oh, I have Tourette's and then they just,
that's their, they're cute to just like get away with it.
That's what Donald says, what he says, a bad joke.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I just wonder, like, in the world of like, memes and,
TikToks like let's say the sound that's going around TikTok that like
FAA!
Sound like are they just watching TikToks and then it's going into their head and then they're
just putting it out to the world.
I don't know how the brain works dude.
I'm pretty dumb already.
It's a tough day and age to have Tourette's because like anything could come out.
Like anything.
You sang something?
Yeah.
Like you consume something on TikTok and then there's so much memes and funny sounds going on
TikToks.
And before you know, you're going six, seven and shit like that.
Gosh.
You know, I, uh, surf and turf combo?
Just speaking of that, Ryan, like, it's a young kids thing, right?
And we all had things that we said when we were young.
But I volunteer at church, right?
And there's preschoolers, so they are five years old.
And, like, to me, they're just babies.
Like, they don't really even know how to, like, say a full sentence.
And they're over here, like, six, seven.
And it's just the weirdest thing.
I mean, they're, like, they, to me, they're, like, toddlers.
And I'm like, how deep does this go?
I think it goes pretty deep.
But I think, I think, like,
it's finally coming to the point where now it's becoming not cool to say it.
You know, it's like the way if you're saying it.
Yeah, you're on.
It went too mainstream.
The five-year-old's an unc if they're saying it.
I agree, though.
Now it went Cheeto.
Yeah.
I also was cracking up the other day when we were filming, we were out on the road,
and we met these guys in the Budweiser truck.
They were delivering, they were stoked to meet us.
They gave us some energy drinks.
And then the last thing they say,
and tell Evan, he's Cheeto.
You know, that's a joke, but like the Cheeto army is still alive and well.
It's good to hear.
Yeah. Didn't that kind of feel wrong, Mike, when he was like, you guys want some energy drinks, some product?
And they slid the door open. I was like, I feel like we're robbing a bank right now or something.
Like a bank vault. Like a truck. Yeah. Like we can't give you any beer or anything. But we could, yeah, energy drinks or whatever.
And they just like ripped open the plastic on the palate and like pulled three energy drinks off and then gave them to us.
It's not, we don't need. We can go to the gas station right over there.
It felt wrong. And it also felt like I wanted to ask, but I didn't want to put them in an uncle.
uncomfortable position, but I was like,
yo, whose product is this?
Like, is a store going to be like,
yo, why are these cases
halfway, like, open?
Yeah, like, what?
Were we robbed?
Yeah, I did feel weird too, but I was like,
oh, thanks, dude.
Stolen product.
They probably just marked it down as like damage.
Yeah, yeah, probably.
Ryan got one and then he lost it and he was just blaming me
left and right.
I was not blaming you.
You were very accusatory.
I was going to blame.
somebody though that's for damn sure i you're like where where is my white what was a white gummy bear ghost
or whatever it was a white it was a white gummy did you take it did you throw it away i was like no i just
asked if you drank it because that that that but but yeah i was pretty accused you had the right
side of the fridge open and then you like close it run around the whole shop and then you finally
open the left side and there it was yeah i was fridge blind it happens every guy has it you look
in the fridge where's the ketchup you can't find where's the boiled hard boiled eggs where's the
Hard-poiled eggs.
No, yeah, where was my white gummy bear?
And I couldn't find it.
Ken, what about when you lost your wallet in the sprinter van and freaked out on everybody?
Well, I was trying to find my wallet.
Okay.
And you lost it.
I lost it.
And I'm, you know, trying to use the, you know, I had an air tag in it.
So I was trying to find it.
And everyone was like.
Which is unbelievable that you couldn't find it.
I know.
It's beeping.
It beeps.
And it brings you to within inches of it.
But you're bowling at China shopping in the sprinter van.
There's not room to move around.
To move around, we got helmets, we got all kinds of stuff in there, and you're just rummaging.
I eventually came to the conclusion that it was in my back pocket.
After you swore it, everybody.
I was like, be quiet.
I'm trying to hear where the beeps coming from because it was like close, but everywhere I went, it was like, it was right behind you.
It's always two to three feet away.
And I was like, what the fuck is this thing?
But how do you, how do you not check your pocket first?
It was in your pocket?
It was in my back pocket.
You mean where the wallet normally goes?
I miss that.
Yeah, but normally I'm trying to keep it in the front pocket.
Were you wearing your overalls?
No, I wasn't.
I was wearing some kind of joggers or something.
And so that's why you didn't know it was in your back pocket.
Usually your pants are so tight.
You know that there's something in your pocket.
And everyone else knows because it's skin tight pants and there's a bulge.
Like vacuum sealed.
His pants are usually vacuum sealed onto his body.
No, that was definitely a dumb moment.
I was like, wow, I should have just felt back there.
And we were really close to helping until you yelled, shut the fuck up.
And then all of us went, okay.
And then started talking constantly to make it harder to find.
Well, let's transition into another segment here.
Ken, it was your birthday yesterday.
It was a glorious day.
Very nice, very chill.
Finally, the most chill birthday I've had in many, many years.
That's true.
Yeah, we usually do a little something.
We're making an event.
God forbid.
Your friends celebrate your birthday, Ken.
You did catch a Seboy's Instagram post,
which is the first birthday post probably in many years that we've done.
I really enjoyed that.
I was like, we should really post something for Ken's birthday.
It's just sledge in it.
We have so many good pictures of you.
It's one thing I want to keep doing.
I notice like the sickos do it.
They just post a bunch of embarrassing pictures of each of the guys in the group.
And I loved it of Ken.
But Ken, you're continuing on the trend of a bunch of people wishing you have your birthday.
And then you just not say it.
That is fake news.
You didn't respond to Greta.
You didn't respond in our primals group chat or in our CFAM group chat.
That's what I thought.
I'm pretty sure I said thanks guys and then 15 other people said it.
Okay.
Let's find out.
I'm not seeing any thank yous.
This is not a new thing.
This is an every year thing you completely ignore everyone who says.
And keep in mind.
Did I take, man.
Ken, this is tough.
Right here.
C fam.
Happy birthday.
Ken, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point.
Heart, heart, heart.
From Greta.
Damn.
No response.
Radio silence.
And also, Evan had a good point.
He goes, you know, maybe Ken just wait until the end of the day.
It's a group chat.
It's not quite as personal.
He's just going to fire out of thanks everyone.
Okay.
Which would make sense.
All the people that text me individually, I did text back.
Okay.
When it goes in a group chat, it's kind of like, it gets weird.
I saw one that was on red right there.
Uh, Brandon.
You're going to have a lot.
Oh, Megan.
Megan.
Megan.
And Brandon.
I want to know who you did text back.
David, New York Jim.
Nice.
Brian.
The close.
Oh, I didn't sex out and fix back.
Okay.
On red on the fix.
Rich.
Rich.
Uh, Nick.
Well, if you didn't respond to Rich, you'd have been like, oh, you went big time.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, Mike.
Did you know that Ken had a birthday party last night?
I didn't.
No, I wasn't invited.
Ryan, did you know that Ken had a birthday party last night?
I knew Ken had a birthday party.
And on Tuesday, I said, Ken, what,
are we doing for your birthday this week?
And you said, uh, I don't know.
And then on Wednesday, I said, what are you doing?
You said, uh, maybe just grab some dinner.
And now on your birthday, I said, Ken, what are you doing for your birthday?
And you said, probably just grabbing some dinner with some friends.
And I went, don't fucking take it.
Yeah.
And went home and had microwave rice and a protein smoothie.
Your dad came.
I know.
Oh, shit.
My dad was invited, but I wasn't.
Yeah.
So it was a different group of friends.
They, she like, organized everything.
was like, sign out the invite, and she's good friends with Brandy's girlfriend, so.
Okay.
Yeah, I went to a different gathering last night, and then they're like, oh, I'm surprised you didn't go to Ken's birthday party.
It was.
And you were like, it's Ken's birthday.
And then they're like, oh, should I not have said something?
And I'm like, no, it's fine.
I'm sure it was a surprise, surprise birthday, maybe.
There was already a lot of people and they just split our table up.
Fuck us, Ken.
What the hell?
Is that supposed to make us feel better?
Is that supposed to make us feel better by not being invited?
Not being invited to your birthday?
There was already so many people.
None of us were invited to Ken's birthday.
Is that not weird to anyone else?
It was on a Thursday and you were all, you started editing.
Thursday.
You're still having problems.
It was kind of like, ah.
Nobody knows that.
Nobody knows that.
I had a lot going on, Ken, last night.
I would have hated to come.
You were having a problem.
Ken, whoever hosted your birthday or you should have.
the party started at five and nobody knew that there was problems with the video until I texted at 7.30,
two and a half hours after his birthday party was done.
It actually didn't start until seven and I knew you were still uploading.
So it was kind of like.
Okay.
So what about Mike and me and Ryan?
I didn't organize it.
I was told the time and a place and then we just showed up.
I did kind of feel bad about that because who organized it did extend an invite.
But then when you were so kind of apathetic about me being now, I was like, well, maybe just won't, won't bother you.
That you have time with your real friends.
But then I was like, shit, what if it's a fucking surprise?
And I just said no to the invite.
Yeah.
And then, you know, then you were like, oh, damn, where's Ryan and everybody else?
Gosh, that is too good.
Ken, I just love how mysterious you are year after year.
Well, there's no shots.
There's no shots forced down my throat last night.
So that was, really?
That was a positive.
It's an improvement from the last couple years.
Anything else forced down?
No.
Because normally, normally it's, oh, here's a shot.
Here's a shot.
Oh, take these seven drinks and it gets a little out of hand.
Yeah.
I would never do that to you.
There's a video of it.
There is.
That's a good point.
I think it was, I don't remember who sent it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That was a fun birthday.
Standing up in front of the entire restaurant and getting everyone to sing happy birthday.
Maybe that's why we don't get invited.
Makes sense.
It does make sense now.
It looked like you had a good time, Ken.
It was nice and quiet.
CJ and Alex showed up.
Oh, CJ was invited.
Salt on the wound.
Yeah, so we still got packing peanuts.
What?
There's one right by kids put over there underneath the bubble.
I'll be just walking from my office somewhere and I'll be like, what the heck?
I'll pick my feet up and there's a packing peanut on the bottom of it.
I even spent a good 20 minutes in here cleaning up like the remains of what was left over.
I think we did a bang up job cleaning everything up.
There's just, I mean, yeah, they're everywhere, right?
They keep coming out, but just like one at a time.
They're in like every nook and cranny of this building.
We did a good job.
Yeah, so if you guys saw the last video, we had planned on pranking our friend Jake.
So we're in this prank war.
Right.
So last October at this point, Mike bought 1,000 hot dogs, and then they expired.
They were in the back of his truck.
So we didn't know what to do with them.
So we dropped him off at Jake's doorstep thinking that he could freeze them and do something with him.
Well, he proceeded to mulch them up, put him in his dad's hydroceider.
and then he came to our compound and he sprayed the entire compound down,
all the cars, everything.
So our entire compound smells like hot dog water and it has little bits of hot dog everywhere.
Still, it's still like that.
It froze like pretty shortly after.
And so now when it thaws in the spring, it's going to just be nasty.
Yeah, it's going to happen all over again, right?
So anyway, we hadn't prank Jake back after that because we were just letting it simmer.
We were just like, you know, had our iron in the stove and we were just waiting for the right time to burn them.
And we thought it was fun.
They thought we were going to strike back within like a week or two.
And we're like, it'd be really funny if we just wait like three months.
Yeah, because he was so on edge.
And his entire team was on edge.
Jake had mentioned multiple times that he just wanted us to prank him so the anxiety of waiting for the prank could be done with.
Like he could go back to his normal life and be less worried about like leaving his shop for four hours at a time or going to bed at night.
And so we were waiting for the right time to strike.
And last week was 20 below out.
And we were like, all right, this would be a good time to prank Jake back.
We got Mike's water truck going.
We were going to go to Jake's compound and cover all of his vehicles in his parking lot with Mike's water truck water and make it look just like just a big ice cube.
A big ice cube.
It's like when a fire hydrant breaks in the middle of winter and it shoots all the water up and then whatever.
surrounding it, usually vehicles, have like feet of ice on them.
That was our goal to do to Jake's truck.
It would have been so great.
And yeah, so we are planning on doing that.
And the way that we were going to get Jake out of his shop was Jake and his crew are
rebuilding Dalton's truck right now or trying to.
And so we were going to have Dalton just like go with Jake to his truck and try and
figure out like the part situation and like film an update or something like that to get
them out of the shop, right?
Dalton goes over there and apparently was acting so suspicious that they put two and two together
that we were trying to prank them. They figured out that the water truck was trying to get back
in operating condition, which wasn't actually, it wasn't working at all. It started on fire in the process,
which is classic. Amazing. Another vehicle. Yeah, yeah. I got cut from the video, but if you use enough
ether, it's flammable. It's going to start on fire.
So Jake and his team
Like call us and they're like
Yeah we know what you guys are planning right now
Like the gig is up
We're like what the fuck
So then it pretty much turned into us
Just being like yo
How did they figure it out?
And we figured Dalton just told them
Yeah maybe spilled the beans
Spilled the beans because like
They're working on Dalton's truck
And we're like did he like trade information
Or
Like a deal on the train?
truck.
But it turned out to be a combination of things.
We actually still don't entirely know.
I think they just put two and two together because they,
because you and CJ had told them that you were going to soup the water truck up and
surprise me.
And then they came over to talk sunglasses and then they're like,
ask me what they're doing with the water truck.
I'm like,
oh,
we're just trying to make like an ice rink out in the parking lot.
And they're like,
okay.
The more information Tony gives,
the more I am,
I'm confused about where they're getting the,
information from. So anyway, we were like, all right, we're going to pivot. We're going to get them
in on the prank. So they think where we're going to start taking Dalton's truck apart. Because then they were
like holding Dalton's truck ransom. They were like essentially telling Dalton like, if you let these guys
prank us, we're going to dismantle your truck and send you part by part for the next month. And so he was
all tweaked out about it. And we were like, okay, let's let's like try and get them on our side.
like we're not going to prank them.
We're going to prank Dalton instead by actually sending him the parts, right?
A little ruse.
So while we were doing that, we're going to get them out of the shop, go to Jakes,
and starts pulling Dalton's truck apart.
Well, meanwhile, we're actually going to fill Jake's entire house up with packing peanuts.
The day before we were going to do that prank, they packing peanuted us.
They came to our shop and filled up my office, the podcast studio where we're sitting right now,
CJ's, Ken's, Ryan's office, all with packing peanuts.
So the night before we were going to do it to Jake, they did it to us.
And the only office they didn't packing peanut was Dalton's.
Was Dalton's?
And two questions were posed.
One, how on earth did they like, no?
Was it just coincidence?
And then two, did they take our packing peanuts?
That takes a little bit of planning.
It does.
You got to order those in, get them shipped.
It takes a minimum 48 hours to get those.
And they left the bags and we checked and Jake did order them.
So at this point, it's coincidence.
but court ruts too small to have coincidence.
How long did we have the peanuts on hand?
10 days?
Pretty crazy.
I think it got out somehow.
There's no way that's 100%.
100% got out.
It's not a coincidence.
We still actually do not know.
We don't know how they found out.
I'm sure we could like really press them and I don't know.
Maybe they would tell us, but.
But it's part of the fog of war.
It is part of the fog of war.
Exactly right, Ryan.
Whatever the hell that means.
But I think we'll find out.
out organically, which will feel a lot better.
But we don't know how they figured out our plan.
There's a lot of theories.
So we posted the video last night.
We said comment who you think the rat is.
A lot of fingers are being pointed at Dalton.
I would like to think that it wasn't him.
Like he wouldn't switch up on his team like that.
Could it have been the mailman or like the delivery guy?
That's what I was kind of thinking is.
I mean, we got a semi load.
Like you line sent an entire semi-truck of packing peanuts.
on a Wednesday to Cormront
and then call it five days later
they sent another half semi load
to Cormorant
but they'd have to know
but they're like what is going on
like why are is this little town
of 25 people get enough packing peanuts
to drown a city
unless the Uline rep told Jake
because the Uline rep
actually lives right next door to Jake's mom
Oh
new information unlocked
I just, I thought of that last night.
That's a good theory, Ken.
That's actually a really good theory.
Did the delivery driver ask what all these peanuts before?
I wasn't there when it got unloaded,
but I'm pretty sure that truck came straight from Wisconsin.
I'm not sure at the quantity that Jake ordered where that truck would have come from.
He might have got a local truck.
Can you imagine if instead of paging peanuts, we got cheese curds?
It was just a mix-up at the Wisconsin factory.
That would have been $40,000.
I was thinking about that as well.
I mean, you guys,
you guys obviously saw what the inside of your van looked like
after we put Cheetos and cheese puffs in it.
I was like, what if we would have fallen out
and spend like $10,000 on Cheetos?
Oh, my God, the dust would have been insane.
The puffs?
Yeah.
Oh, puffs, yeah.
A little more space.
Yeah.
Getting in your eye, that would have been bad.
Oh, it would ruin everything.
You'd have to burn the shop down and just start over fresh.
Jake called himself the preface.
Jake called himself the prank war champ of 2026.
He left the sign and he said prank war champ of 2026.
And we're like, buddy, it's fucking January right now.
Just getting started.
Yeah.
What are you doing, right?
So he called himself the champ and we're like, well, you can't do that.
And so we had to like really ramp it up.
And also it was a war crime to strike two times in a run.
Like he didn't let us like hit him back.
Yeah.
In between.
Which is, dude, that's, that's prank war one-on-on-one.
How stupid are you, right?
So it was like all rules out the window.
Yeah.
You should get a big trophy made.
It says Prang Champs 2020.
You know, he made a cardboard side.
I know.
I wasn't going to say it.
Maybe a plaque and what we give it to ourselves?
Yeah.
No, we give it to ourselves.
But then he'd be like, what is this?
And we're like, yeah, they sent it to us.
Who's they?
I don't know.
The committee.
Yeah.
The committee.

And then other people in our team that have also talked to other people in the community
are like verifying that he was the mole and I'm like, I just don't think he was.
I don't think so either.
I do get his concern about his pickup and I.
Pack up.
I get it.
Like he doesn't want like.
That's Tourette's.
You have Tourette's.
He doesn't want Jake and Tony to like just fully disassemble his pickup, throw it on his doorstep and say,
here you go put it back together but it doesn't fully add up and can something that particularly
you and i can relate on is that there's unintentional moles like i've ruined shit before all the time
and then it's it's like Micah why do you hate us you're a rat you're a mole and i'm like it was an
accident same thing happens at can like he slips and it sucks like just CJ's done it before
CJ has done it before and so and it it doesn't necessarily it it makes you a mole by definition
but not by intention, which is a huge difference.
I told Mike about Gavin's stupid three-wheeler and I was a rat for years.
Ben finally just doesn't really call me it too much anymore.
Why?
He literally just did.
That's when you started calling me, Z-Rat.
Z-Rat.
No, he was because I had to go.
I had that horrible experience buying the O-G, the Gavin Trike that he crashed into the ditch.
The guy was trying to take me in his car and go for a four-hour drive and stuff.
So it was a crazy day.
So then I like told Mike about it.
But, yeah, you were pretty upset about it.
Which one was that?
Which was Gabby?
The tow tower.
Oh, the mopeds.
Can I hit the ditch?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that one.
That thing sucked, too.
I actually, I don't remember.
I don't remember that.
That's like when you started calling me a rat because I told Mike about it.
It was like, the surprises on Gavin.
Yeah.
I mean, I get it as better if Mike didn't know, but I didn't think it was a big deal.
The issue with Mike knowing is a lot of times it'll end up on a story.
Yeah, it'll end up.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
or something like I'll fire something in the group chat and it's like yo the guy we're trying
to pranks in the group chat that you just sent the chat about like mike you have to unsend
this immediately yeah or when we're trying to pick up axel hodges to surprise evan with and then
when we're picking axle up mike is on his insta story reposting videos of axel being like yo headed
to the sea boys and he's sending them in our group chat that evans in we're like bro
what are you doing yeah and he wears axel pants that day he was throwing a lot of flag
True. But also is like our Instagram group chat that Evan could potentially check three times a day or one time in three weeks.
Also, Mike, Mike spilled the beans on the rich pickup.
I like the one where you're secretly picking up a wheelchair for Ken, but then posted the guy.
Yeah, that was probably my worst one.
That was crazy.
I sent it like to the group chat. I think it's almost better if it's on my story because again, Ken might watch my story two times in one day or once every two weeks or ever.
It's like it just doesn't click with you though Mike where you care enough to like think it through
Sometimes you got to wait until the content has already been published before you can post that those those stories or those snapschats
Well you just got to save it to your camera roll and then okay this is safe to post that's the interesting thing is it like 99% of time that is what I do
It's what we all do but realistically Mike I would actually
call it 65% of the time. Disagree. That's less than two-thirds. Still disagree. It's like we're not even
done filming something to open up Snapchat. Oh, Mike already posted this on there. That's not true. You guys joke about
that happening way more than it actually happens. I think you think it happens less than it actually happens.
I think I do it the most out of anyone. Well, yes. You guys joke about it happening way more than it actually
happens. Like you guys rip jokes about it all time. The joke
It's not even on my story.
I just live streamed the whole thing.
It hasn't even happened yet, and it's already on Mike's story.
Right.
We just to remind you not to, it's like,
oh, no, I get that.
I mean, it's like, yeah, you make jokes about the thing that someone's always effing up on.
It's fair.
But overall, like, I'd say Ken and I have effed up an equal amount of things.
Because.
Ken is so afraid now where he doesn't even, he doesn't even let himself find things out.
Yeah.
Because he knows how weak he is at keeping a secret.
Like he actually is pretty self-aware about it now where he'll like avoid
conversations if it's even in the wind.
I'll hear something.
Oh, this is going to be a secret.
Okay, let me just turn around and I'll go do something else.
I don't even know.
It's not even on.
It's not a secret that I can't know.
It's I don't even trust myself.
Well, sometimes it's like I don't need unless I am required to be involved in this.
It's like what's the point of even overhearing.
something because it's just all it's going to do is get me riled up or something or it's pretty
well-trained for me to get involved until we're filming the video or I have to go pick something up
or like arrange something it's just pointless you might as well just stay out of it completely
then you're not an accomplice in it as a multi-time offender like that is perfect that is what you and
I should be doing you get hit even harder with uh you know discipline as a multi-time offender so
like for example I'm I want to say it was the rich thing
Like when I everyone was like Micah he was the one you knew because of Micah right and then he's like
No it was actually CJ and then that just gets brushed oh it was me damn you know because he doesn't do it as much
What was the other one that CJ blew?
Yeah
He just literally said it out loud the Axel was it was the Axel?
Yeah he heard him driving by and CJ just blew the full load and he's like so how did you know how do you know axel is coming was it micas when he said that no it was CJ
And I'm like, thank God.
What did CJ Sam say?
Oh, I hope Axel doesn't mind the cold.
Yeah.
And I'm like, looks at me.
I'm like, and I look at CJ.
I was like, CJ, shut the fuck up.
What I wanted to say is, Ken, you think, you think that way now.
But even like two years ago, if you even heard whisperings, you were like this.
You were like a bloodhound.
And you're like, what, what's going on?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it?
And you couldn't help yourself but get, like, intervene.
Well, because it was probably about him.
So it's just like, unless you're directly involved in it, it's, it's just pointless trying to, like, figure something out.
You think that now, but two years ago, you, you literally couldn't help yourself, but, but figure it out.
But it's, like, you had to figure it out.
It's just growth and, you know, trying to.
It's gross.
Honestly, it's just way less stressful.
You keep growing your beard out, Mike.
You'll learn.
You'll be crazy.
Crazy personal development on Ken's end.
I think the issue is like we're not actors and everything is just a hundred times better.
Yeah.
If you are genuinely surprised, quite literally.
Always, right?
So it's for like the benefit of everyone, right?
Where if you don't know and you find something out, you're going to be surprised and you're going to be excited about it and you're going to give a good reaction.
And then a lot of times if you do find out, you have no reaction because it's not a surprise.
And then it's like we have nothing to work with.
Right.
I think all of us are on the same page when you see something that's, let's say it's directly
for you and you accidentally catch a whiff and you're like, that's my reaction.
If I like saw something that was being planned for me, I'm just like, ah, I wish I could delete
that out of my brain.
Yeah, again, like you said, we're not actors and it's just a hundred times better.
And the issue with it now is like there's so many moving parts and I don't even know how many
group chats I have that don't have one of you guys sitting.
All of them.
Yeah.
Like we have like 12 different group chats that just don't have one person in it.
Because like that's the person that's getting surprised, right?
So it's like when there's so many like cooks in the kitchen though, things just inevitably
get spoiled.
Damn, I didn't know you guys had a group chat without me.
Yeah.
And there's probably four things in the works right now, Ryan, that are related to you that you
don't know about that everyone else does.
that I'm hoping stay a secret.
Fuck.
Four?
Probably, honestly.
And that's why we brought Jack in now that nobody can find out.
Because it's like so many things get spoiled because like I need help planning things.
And, you know, that's when you got to get other people involved.
But you have to be specific on who you choose to help.
Yeah, dude, there's a science to this.
There really is.
There might be a group chat for a prank for you, Ryan, that I'm not allowed in for good reason.
It's like I only got involved in the actual group chat because I had to book his flights and all the everything else.
Yeah.
That's the only reason I figured that out.
You didn't tell me who I was booking a flight for until I got is like information.
It's like I was thinking of going and seeing a hypnotist because just yesterday I saw something I wasn't supposed to.
Ah!
I didn't even try.
Yeah.
I love that.
The number of us stress a hypnotist.
We need an in-house hypnotist.
There we go.
The men in black.
Gavin.
What about Gavin?
buddy the one that came here and had Gavin
birthing an alien or was that was good dude that was
crazy we were actually talking about that yesterday
I've been trying to get a mind reader
to come on the podcast but they don't
want to be recorded
I think it'd be funny if they're like a fortune teller
or whatever you know yeah exactly
I'm like no it's cool like you do your thing
and we'll just we'll just see
and they're like no we don't want to let the secrets of the trade
go so what about
Oz the mentalist is that the guy's name
yeah but you know there's like
performers then there's people who do it for the
love of the game. And I think we, we locally only have love of the game. Like the guy, the guy who
does the lie detector test, but trying to get lie detector tests as well, no one will fucking do it.
Everyone's a pop-up, I'm not going to pop up, not going to do it. Lie detector check on camera.
I go, what about this guy? And they go, he's not a part of the real culture. He's not even a certified
electrician or whatever the fuck it is. People are so against it. So you have to have the people in
California that are just doing it for acting. Why would they be against it? Because it's fake.
lie detectors are fake they're not admissible in court and that's been a thing for a while
that has been a thing because it's all based off of like heart rate yeah so you could either be trained
to not get excited and like fool it or train yourself to like spike your heart rate and then you
would get Gavin's on it like four Celsius deep everything this guy says is just off the charts
just says he's having a heart attack right now uh yeah I actually just saw a video about that with like
CIA agents.
Like they're trained to be able to pass.
Lide detectors, polygraph?
Yeah.
Thank you.
There's something like you can put a tack in your shoe and you just step on it.
There is something like all the movies or something have.
You imagine?
You're about to tell a lie so you just...
I'm sure you can do it a little more.
That's why.
Because you like raise your heart rate for everyone.
You fake the baselines and then like when the actual lies come out and then it's a...
It's already faked.
Fake the baseline so when the lies come out, nobody knows.
that's like if you're like always use eye drops but you're always stone no one will ever know your stone
no you no it's you never have to use the eyedrops they think that's just how you look yeah dude i looked up
the other day uh sidney's like how long's the longest someone's ever slept before oh yeah that's
interesting and they have never really done any studies but the one showed up then it was like
this so-and-so in 1962 slept for eight days straight but they were under hypnotization i'm like
eight days is still a long time to be sleeping it's not just coma
Yeah, I was like, can you imagine sleeping for eight days?
The dream, right, Mike?
The dream, actually, dude.
Not the dream.
I'd be hungry as hell when I woke up.
You'd be like a bear.
Evan couldn't make it.
Evan's a classic, wake up at three, roomage for a snack, and back to bed.
You know what else?
Evan, I got to apologize to you for, and I'm also really proud of you.
So we have the half pipe in the back of the shop, right?
And it's winter.
And we've had some fluctuating temperatures, right?
It's been negative 25, and it's been 3.
40 and we're getting snow and it's melting, whatever.
And the last three times now, maybe four, Evan has cleared the half pipe of snow.
Completely cleared it.
Use the torch, got it fully dry.
And then he goes, you should probably come over and we should skate it.
And then I'm like, yeah, yeah.
And I just get busy and then it snows again and then it snows more.
Like he's cleared it off four times.
You guys haven't skated at all?
We skated it once for like 10 minutes.
And then last, yesterday.
there was so much snow.
How long did that take you?
No,
a half hour.
Oh,
okay.
It's not too bad.
But it's not too bad.
But it's all cleared off,
and I just look at it and I go,
it's a shame.
We're not going to skate it.
I think we are this time.
We're going to have a...
We are.
I think we have a long stretch of warm weather.
We do.
It's been interesting.
We, uh,
this,
this winter's been interesting.
But yeah,
we have like a stint of like 35 degree days.
Yeah,
did you see that the other day, Ben?
Dalton heard you talking about you were going to drop in and then he,
decided he was going to try it and he just did it.
Luckily for you, it doesn't count until it's on the three foot, but he is a step ahead.
I didn't know we were in.
Yeah, I mean, it happened fast.
Competition.
The only guy I knew I was in competition with now is Big Ranch.
Big Ranch heard that I was going to drop in on the skate ramp.
And then he was like, drop it on the skate ramp.
I could go and do that right now.
And I was like, what?
You did say he used to be more of a street skater, but he thinks he could.
get it.
Big Ranch was a skater?
He was like, I could go and drop in on that, on that ramp right now.
And I was like, let's make this a thing.
Let's do a little bit.
And I thought that it was going to just fall by the wayside.
And I was never going to actually hear anything about Big Ranch skateboarding ever again.
So we get home from our trip the other night.
And him and Evan got into the road beers on the way home and the Sprinter van.
And I'm transferring footage up here.
And I just hear like laughing down below.
Gackling.
And I'm like, what the hell is going on?
You know, it's like 11 o'clock.
I walk back down there
and Big Ranch is skating around.
Him and Evan are skating around
in the bay, in the Pine Bay.
Holy shit.
I was like, what the fuck is going on right now?
He never would have guessed that he skated in his life.
He might be too important to let skate.
Yeah.
He got a family.
I was like Big Ridge, how many beers did you have
on the way home that you got home and said,
I need to ride that.
He said, well, we were trying to finish the case
and we haven't done, we haven't found the bottom yet.
We did before he left.
And how did his form?
look. There actually wasn't too much skating. I think. Yeah, he just knocked, he knocked the cobwebs off and then, you know, let that sit and then come back to it, you know, like an evolution. You didn't want to go too big, you know, in the first day back.
It was a classic mistake. The liquid courage for that type of stuff, like, I just remember having a point in my life where I'm like, I gotta stop skating when I'm drunk.
But you like, you want to. I didn't even quit drinking. Yeah, Evan, he does. He's just like, nah, you know. If he's, if he's, if he's, if he's, you know, if he's, if he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's.
He had six beers at the golf course.
He lets me know, not skating a night.
What about the other night?
I don't know.
No, no, no.
I was going to, no, it's the happy me.
If I have 12 beers at the course, I'm not skating.
Six?
But I knew you were going to Zorba's later.
Attempt a skateboard.
Oh, it's pocket.
Yes, the pocket thing.
But, uh, you to get loose.
It's just interesting, like Big Ranch with no beers, much safer to be skating, much, much
safer, but wouldn't be skating at all if he was on no beers.
Ryan said it.
I don't know if we should be letting Big Ranch skate.
Yeah.
But we should let him drop in once or twice.
Don't keep a man from accomplishing his dreams, Ben.
The thing about skateboarding, though, is like, it's not if you fall.
It's when you fall.
And what makes a good skateboarder is how good you are at crashing.
It's how good you are at falling.
Big Ranch got bodied on the e-bike.
He was fine.
I mean, he sat up against the building for a couple hours and-
banged up for a couple of weeks, but he ate it.
He did eat it.
Big Ranch is just super tough.
He's just like that old man's strength and old-man.
toughness, yeah.
We just got done with a little snowmobile trip,
and Evan did have a great point.
We were kind of like, oh, Big Ranch, you sore?
Because he came with us and was awesome.
And he's like, eh, not really.
I feel like this all the time.
And that, to your point, like, when we're skateboarding and falling,
like, Evan and I kind of just feel a little bit sore all the time.
No, I think we were talking about Ken.
Yeah.
Who at dinner was, like, in a whole different world.
My back hurts and this and that.
And I'm like, do you think he actually hurts worse than us?
Or is he just never used to any, like, physical.
inconvenience where like I wake up every morning and I fucking hurt but it's just been that way
forever forever but like some people are just like maybe not used to that I don't know I don't like
for me it's like I'm fine and then like the second we stopped moving and like sat down for dinner
right my back just like locked up and I was like I got to go lay down like it was it was fine
when we kept moving and then it's just you stop and it's just bad I wish I could like convey or like
just show how when we were out to eat we're all just like laughing and
Dude, you're just in the corner.
Like,
oh.
He's just like he just found out of his dog died or something.
Yeah, he was.
Yeah,
and we were weird.
He's just like,
playing music and you look.
I mean,
yeah,
okay.
Like,
we are all locked in and guys like,
we're putting on the coat
and we're getting out of here.
Pop up the video of him in the sprinter van.
Oh,
that was so funny.
Ha,
ha ha ha.
I love a Mike's geared up.
Yeah.
No, I was just trying to, like, sit there and not sit in an uncomfortable position because my neck was killing me.
Look, you make out uncomfortable right there, bro.
I do feel bad.
Like, it's not fun when your back fucking hurts, that's for sure.
Imagine how I felt, I guess, without spoiling too much.
Yeah, imagine how Ben felt.
We put in a pretty good shift on snowmobiles that were not optimal or long range.
And I think everyone was pretty sore.
but I had a stint of riding two-up with Ken.
You'll see in the video as to why.
And the thing about riding a snowmobile by yourself is you see bumps coming and you can
like use your legs to anticipate the bump.
And then you just like raise yourself up off the seat.
You let the snowmobile take the brunt of the impact, right?
And you're your legs to kind of take a little bit of it.
You're hovering.
And then when it's smooth, you can sit back down.
Well, when you don't know when that bump is coming because you have a,
a large man in front of you and you're just holding onto them for dear life because you're
hanging off the back of the seat. The only thing helping the impacts of the bumps is your spine
compressing a little bit every time. Every single time. When the two of you were on that sled,
we're talking full compression, no suspension. And then when you go into those bumps with double
the weight that should be on the sled, it actually amplifies it. I was thinking about you too.
Yeah, your spine was the only suspension. I did.
feel bad for Ken though because I was you know it's trying to watch the best that I could and when I
would see a bump coming up I'm just like using Ken as the suspension of like holding on to him
on to him hoping that he also lifts for this bump coming like a monkey on his back that
hopefully Ken stands up and and there was many times where like we're flying along this this trailer
this ditch line right and it's like bump after bump after bump right so you can you can only like
for like the first one or two until the snowmobile meets you at some point of coming up
and I was like yeah what the fuck slow down boom boom boom pause bounce on it bounce on it
so yeah that was rough but it'll it'll make more sense when you guys see the video see it in a
couple weeks here oh god good times though eh um mike what's that oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Read it to the mic, Ben.
Oh, my God.
This is so classic.
Relax.
Who cares?
I'm already late.
And then it's all of the numbers on the watch that are supposed to go around.
Just jumbled at the bottom.
Is it a roly?
No.
Can't afford a roly.
Are you kidding me?
It looks like it.
Well, it says relax, not Rolex.
Mike is like, okay.
Dude, I about had a heart attack.
I go, bro, that's got to be so limited edition.
You got to have a fucking swipe around your wrist here.
Oh, this is super sick, though.
Isn't that funny?
Yeah, I love this.
I think Rolex made a watch like that.
Really?
With all the numbers at the bottom that said, who cares?
I'm already late.
Sick.
I saw it poking.
I was like, holy shit.
I just thought it was too.
Holy.
Too fitting.
But then I also, I thought that came across as a little, I'm like, I'm not that
careless.
Like, I actually do care.
So then on the back, you can get an engraving.
And I said, just kidding.
I do care.
I'll try to be on time next time.
Really?
Yeah.
That's amazing.
I found one that it is.
A Rolex.
Oh, really?
$13,300.
That's a cool goal for me to have.
Like, I didn't realize that was real.
So to me, there's two different knockoff Rolexes.
There's like, let's say you get a GMT.
Like, you can get a watch that looks like a Rolex,
but they're just trying to look like a Rolex.
They're not trying to be a knockoff Rolex.
And then there's obviously watches that look like a Rolex
and then also say Rolex that aren't Rolex.
But they had a few watches that look just like Rolexes,
but they say relax.
So I wanted to get this one since I,
I didn't think that Rolex made a watch like that, but I guess they do.
There's so many counterfeit watches.
There's a lot.
But that's what I'm kind of getting at.
So is this would, this would be considered counterfeit?
No.
Yeah, this is kind of just a fun.
No.
There's so many like counterfeit Rolex watches.
Right.
That if you are a watch expert, you don't even know that.
Really?
Dude, it is insane how well they have just knocked them off.
And what are the price points on those?
I'm curious.
I mean, not the under box.
Well, there's like, they call them super fakes.
Those are like one to two thousand.
Okay.
And it's like you gotta get like microscopes and look at it.
Yeah, where you have to take it apart.
You actually have to take these watches apart to see the movements.
Yeah.
To see if it's fake or not.
Even some of these movements are like getting so good.
Really, really close.
That just seems insane to me.
Again, spending $200 on the one that looks like it, sure.
But spending $2,000 on the one that actually.
is conning people to think.
I know a guy.
I thought he had a bunch of different Rolexes.
And then I was talking to his kid and he's like,
oh, no, they're all fake.
Oh, what the fuck?
Dirty.
Like his kid rat in the mouth was like,
ooh, that is rough to hear, but.
Yeah, that is solely for like flex culture.
Like spending a little bit extra for it,
that's almost like you're trying to convince yourself.
Yeah.
I mean, you can get a full collection for like 10 grand
where you can't even buy one real Rolex for 10 grand.
All in the eye of the beholder.
I get it, but also like what's the point?
Like you're trying to like aspire to buy something,
not just buy the full collection.
It's kind of a weird thought process to me.
Yeah, to flex.

I don't even know like what statement I'm trying to make with watches.
I just genuinely find it fun.
I have like the one expensive watch Sydney got for my wedding.
The rest of them are like under $300 and they get lots of compliments and that's as far as it needs to go.
But do they say, oh, is that a 80?
And then you're like, no, it's this.
And then, ah.
I mean, sometimes.
But then I do think it's funny when I'm wearing the Casio mod, like, it's a Casio
watch that someone else modded that I bought for 300 bucks.
It's like, Mike's got an AP.
And I'm like, bro.
Like, it's not even like, they thought I had an AP.
It's like, no, I don't have an AP.
I didn't spend 60K on a watch.
And then I guess it's actually not obvious because like, Money Mike persona.
That's the thing.
That's the thing.
is when people are like,
oh, Mike's got, of course he has an AP.
Yeah.
That just would be insane.
Buy another car for that.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
I saw an interesting theory on TikTok,
and it was that the side of your car that your gas tank is on
is whether it's a girl car or a guy car.
Really?
Completely disagree.
That's zippers.
You're thinking of zippers.
Zippers is also as well.
But they say it started when there would be cars that women would drive
because they put it on the passenger side
because the man would get out and fill the gas.
Like Alonters Malibu, passenger side.
My Corvette, driver's side.
But it does get a little...
Because if it's a woman's car,
the man gets out of the passenger seat,
which I personally think he should be driving the car.
I think so too.
But the man gets out of the passenger seat, pumps gas.
I think a lot more, like, domestic cars
have it on the driver's side
and a lot more like imports have it on the passenger seat.
On the other side,
that's the side the steering wheels on in the country
it's made? Not necessarily.
What is the science behind
where they put the gas tank?
Probably wherever there's room.
You know, I always thought cars were on the
passenger side, but then I realize it's not.
Trucks, driver's side.
That's a man's car.
Should just be on the driver's side if possible.
But there's some engineering restraints, I'm sure.
I like that theory.
I've been looking.
Now when I look at a car, I go, is that a man's car or a woman's car?
Brian's just so, it's like he's really loving a car and he's conflicted because it's on the.
Yeah.
Oh, it's on the passenger side.
Can't.
Can't do her.
So besides for a Malibu though, like does that theory.
Yeah, it's been a whole, though.
Has that been a passenger?
But that's because it's an import like Ken said, because the steering wheels normally on the other side.
Your focus, have you even put gas on that car yet?
It's on the passenger.
Girl car.
My Broncos on the driver's side.
It is.
What side's the Jeep on?
Drivers.
So yeah, that just debunks it.
Yeah, that debunks it right there.
But Mike did hit a deer.
So I'm taking after Ryan.
How'd that feel?
I didn't like it.
No, it's not fun at all.
And I would blame myself.
I was sending a Snapchat to Gavin.
He was wondering how...
Shred Aide.
He is somehow always involved in a crash.
Oh, the wrench.
He was like wondering about how some of the builds worked out
throughout the day when we filmed,
but he was gone.
I was like, just giving him an update.
And I like was just watching it back and press send and boom.
Oh.
Like, you know, in that situation, had I not been on my phone sending him a Snapchat,
I would have probably slowed down enough to either do less damage or not hit it at all.
How did the Jeep fare?
It's all right.
It's one of those ones like, I don't think I want to make a claim.
I notice some more dense today.
You know the when you look at it.
Yeah, you start looking more.
The hood is cocked and the door is dented.
Oh, sure.
The funniest part was when I turned back, I won't show this because it's just kind of gross.
But I turned back to see if the deer was dead or not.
You know, if it's not, you go take care of it.
You go dispatch it yourself.
And then I get to town.
I've been driving all over town, go out to eat.
And then I realize there's blood all on the side of the car all over the wheels.
Oh, yeah, it's dead.
You did a number on that thing.
Yeah.
I was surprised the way you sent a text.
Oh, I hit a deer, blah, blah, blah.
and then you said like I saw the car and I was like oh that looks a lot better than I would have expected you smoke a deer and all that
It wasn't horrible fender grill light bumper door
It's funny that well that that's when you start getting fender door like that's when it really you know you take out a bumper and some front stuff
Just before I did that it was funny you were like Mike if you're gonna drive the Jeep it'd be cool to like soup it up I know you love like not leaving shit stuff
And so then I of course after I hit the deer I started looking for bumpers and I realized
I just don't really like
modded jeeps.
I actually, I prefer the way it looks like stock.
Unless you're going to go crazy
and make it like this overlanding sick rig,
I think putting like an aftermarket bumper on a jeeps
with a big bull bar or whatever is just pointless.
They have like 100 different bumpers for these things
and I maybe like one.
Maybe this was God's way of saying that you shouldn't be driving a Jeep.
But maybe that's just,
Hummer?
Maybe that's just you conveying that you don't want me to drive a Jeep.
I don't care what you drive.
I don't think God does either.
Oh, okay.
Just wait now, Mike, if you have one more deer, then people start going,
don't let him drive the company vehicles.
He's going to hit a deer.
He hit two deer in the last month.
You hit a one.
Mike hit two deer in the last month.
I missed.
You know, I literally hit the mirror.
Like, that'd be, that's like, because you were driving a nimble car.
Yeah, in the Corvette.
But the deer are getting dumber.
Like, CJ was driving the sprinter van back from our latest video,
and we had to lock it up everything flying multiple times
because there was so many deer that we almost hit.
And like someone would look out the front window and sure shit,
there's a deer standing in the middle of the road.
Like, they were close.
What are the odds that the two brothers of the group are just clocking deer?
I mean, it used to be Ken.
It's got a run in the family, huh?
My take is, is all the land around here that used to be hunting land,
they're putting sheds up on,
which we're partially guilty of.
But all the hunting land,
nobody fucking hunts around here anymore.
So all the deer that used to get clobbered by guns,
nobody's hunting,
and now they're just running around committing suicide
in the front of my car.
Get your kids in hunter's safety
and kill deer,
so I don't have to do it with my car.
What if you put...
I'll put a kid through hunter safety.
If you need money to go through hunter safety,
I'll then mo you.
How much is it?
Yep.
I don't know,
probably a hundred bucks.
100 bucks.
I'll then moe you 100 bucks
to get you through hunter safety
if you hunt in Becker County.
What if you just put...
There you go.
But, geez.
Like a steel bumper on your Hummer and then just plow over every single one of them.
I don't need to change my life for a dumb animal.
Well,
you can just pull them yourself for the Hummer either.
I think there is actually something to be said about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a pretty good point.
At least more around here.
If you look at even like where our farm is,
that whole field like somebody would have been out there hunting that shit 10 years ago.
And then now all the deer fuck around and reproduce and get stupider.
All the smart ones are hiding up in the Northwoods getting bigger.
And all the stupid ones are.
They're staying down here running at cars.
I'll tell you what.
There's one less deer after last night.
You took out one, too?
No.
No.
No.
No, I'm joking.
Oh.
There was one person in front of me.
I'm driving Ben's Raptor.
I'm coming back from Ottoman.
And this guy's like right in front of me and he's going like really slow.
Yeah, watching for deer.
It's super annoying.
50.
Yeah.
And he's got this brand new Chevy truck.
You know it's got the power.
Was it sick?
No, it was a brand new Chevy truck.
Sounds pretty sick.
Anyways, hits this deer and he goes,
Oh, boom, boom, boom, boom.
It was like slow motion in the air.
Oh, wow.
It lands.
And the dude just drives off and leaves it in the middle of the road.
He was probably pissed.
It's usually the case.
Yeah, you're so pissed.
You're like, don't even care.
And so then I went and I drug it in the, in the woods or whatever, but.
That was nice.
Yeah.
Dude, people are dumb.
Deer are dumb.
Oh, deer are dumb.
Yeah, people are dumb for hitting deer?
Why would you just leave it in the road for someone else to hit?
I do it.
You shouldn't do.
You shouldn't do that.
Normally you're so pissed off.
You're more like, oh, this freaking deer just hit my car.
And you're just so flustered about that.
You just drive off.
You keep driving.
Don't look at your car.
Luckily for me, both mine bounced back in the ditch.
That Hummer actually vaporized them.
There was nothing to clean up.
He needed another little rainstorm.
That was all the evidence was gone.
My immediate thought after doing it was, man, I wish I had my truck.
Yeah, I think we ate that.
That's more of the point I guess I was trying to make.
Mike, but you driving a Jeep is you got a pretty sick truck.
But then the thought after that was, man, I'm so glad I was driving a SUV or, you know.
Your truck would have vaporized it.
But then I'm like, what if I would have been driving my viper?
That would have sucked out underneath that.
That thing is so low.
Well, you're just going to take out all the deer in the winter.
So when the roads are nice in the summer, there's no deer to hit.
Yeah, that's how it works.
Everyone that makes the drive from our lakes,
area to the Fargo Moorhead, Fargo, North Dakota area.
We take the road called the downer road and the guys at the body shop are like,
oh, yeah, yeah, if you drive that road every day, it's not a matter of if, it's when,
which is so true.
You do clock a lot more miles, so.
Yeah, you do.
In doing so.
Well, it just scares me.
I don't know.
Like, I'm going to, it's not going to be the last year I hit.
I just hope it's in the truck next time.
Yeah, deer are dumb.
I'm just now I'm all pissed off.
You see the video about a deer, like,
broke the window to a bank and was just running around inside now they're robbing banks
yeah i have now they're robbing banks that one was pretty funny it just like flies to the window
well it's like lock them up it's the body cam of a cop like crawling through the window of a bank
because they're thinking that all this bank's like a robbery's in progress and it's just a deer
just sprinting around the lobby of this bank did he get to shoot it uh no they wrangled it and got it back
outside is that real or is that AI no it was like that's that
I thought it was before AI.
It's happened.
You can never tell these days, but it looked real.
Hot topic, but like all the Epstein files,
like I don't know what to believe because there's so much that can just be fake.
Yeah.
There's a website called, this is kind of crazy that someone made this.
It's called jmail.
And you go and they coded it like a Gmail website.
And you can go on to it and like search all of his emails like you're in his Gmail.
And you can search people and you can go to pictures,
It's pretty impressive that someone that they made it.
But yeah, jmail.world.
But there's what, like three million documents?
Holy crap.
So much.
I think they've released three and a half.
And someone had to go in and black them all out.
Well, they missed quite a bit.
Originally they redacted like so much shit.
And now this new wave that came out, there's a lot less that's redacted.
They also.
That it's less that it's like 30% and what's not out isn't going to come out.
Like now they've fulfilled or whatever.
That was 30% of it.
Man, that guy was a busy fucking guy.
I thought it was like over 10 million.
Like if there were 3 million pages or documents, it was like 10 million.
So they also did like the worst job possible of like censoring this stuff.
So you could just highlight it, copy and paste and then see what was underneath that.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Did you see they were talking about Pizza Gate?
Pizza Gate back on?
That was a big thing in when we were in like middle school.
It's confirmed that Pizza Gate was real.
Was real.
It was before.
And when you Google Pizza Gate, they were.
were saying it's like a debunked theory and there's like 11,000 references to pizza.
It's like, did you enjoy that pizza last night?
Mmm, it was sure cute.
Yes, the pizza party last night was so fun and yummy.
Yeah.
I guess the thing that I've taken away from reading a lot of the emails is like a lot of
them seem like damn near illiterate.
What do they do?
There's a lot of code code.
Yeah, they're just talking dumb.
It looks like a Chinese owner's manual.
Now that's a good read.
We need Evan to get in there.
He's the only one that can decry for it.
I did see this.
They think that there's these two guys are the...
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
That one is a good example of something I don't know is true.
That there's a theory going around
that the Island Boys are Jeffrey Epstein's...
Island boys.
Missedroon sons.
Island boy.
So, and if that were true, it'd be wild.
There's so many theories that I see a new one every single day
where it's hard to figure out.
which ones are real and which ones are fake.
Or which ones you should pursue.
The internet is just running with.
Essentially, you can say or do whatever you want at this point
because there's so many documents that unless you're really deep in the weeds of it,
how are people going to debunk it?
I guess besides for that website, I didn't know about that website.
I have to check it out.
But then did you guys, there just came out as of yesterday that his Fortnite
and he was playing Rocket League, like his account is active.
You know, they found his activation emails, and that account was in his emails,
and that account is still being played today in Israel.
It's just what they say.
Really?
Yeah.
As of like a couple weeks ago, he was playing Rocket League.
What?
Or somebody was.
Supposedly.
Somebody was with that account.
From Israel.
That's where the IP was.
I wonder if he's got good skins on Fortnite.
Yeah, I don't know, dude.
There's so much.
You know he's playing a Sabrina Carpenter.
You know he's running around in that.
Ken, do you think that he killed himself?
No.
So I don't know if you guys saw there was a theory that,
oh, he got swapped out with a body double.
And then in that last little trove of documents,
there was they tracked down the guy that made like an anonymous
4chan or Reddit post or something along those lines.
They were able to prove that he actually did.
And that guy did work for the jail that, you know,
where Epstein was at.
And what did this guy say, though?
He was like, oh, there was some suspicious activity in Epstein's area.
there was a guy that got brought in in a wheelchair
and then, you know, whatever
and then the next morning he's dead.
Like a van that wasn't on the schedule.
It's all very suspicious.
So do you think that he killed himself,
was murdered,
or is still alive living in Israel?
He did not.
He absolutely did not kill himself.
He might have been swapped out or he's like,
or he got murdered.
Or he's playing Rocket League.
I think he either got murdered or they,
swapped it out with a body double.
Because there was another picture of like his ear.
It's for sure one of those.
His ear looks a little funny in the death picture too.
And like again, you go down all the rabbit holes,
but they didn't even look close to the same when they look at the ear features and the nose features.
Yeah, I think he's still alive somewhere.
I saw a theory where they were just talking about on the autopsy,
the bones that usually break when you hang yourself, you like, there has to be so much like brute force or
impact of like, you know, doing it.
Sometimes one bone is broken.
Rarely two bones are broken, but in this case, three bones were broken, which is like
damn near impossible when you're paying yourself.
But that's where I wonder, was it even him?
Right.
Bro, there's so much crazy shit out there.
Think about how much Tom Foolery and secrecy are going on between this freaking 11 of us around
here that I don't even know about.
Like, think about the rest of the world, brother.
It just brings me back to, like, why.
I know this is before a lot of, like,
not weird shit, sorry.
I better, I better clarify that.
Not weird shit, but just like the prank,
just the pranks we're working on here.
Yeah.
You know, like, yeah, exactly.
Normal secrets.
But sorry, continue, Mike.
So it was a time in emails, like, 2013, let's say.
It was a time of emails, right?
But, like, didn't they know that all of these are like,
they just stay existing?
Well, why is you using Gmail?
Why isn't using, like, a private email?
genuine question.
I listened to this deal yesterday.
They were saying that every email that he would send it had like disclaimer on it.
Like you're supposed to destroy it.
And like if it ever gets used it any other way or whatever.
Okay.
They had a, yeah, a footing on all the emails.
Yeah.
It's prosecuted if this email leaves the intended.
That's just any email with a lawyer has that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Weird.
So I'm just,
doesn't hold up.
Is there even any like messaging platforms that exist today that,
wouldn't document everything in some sort of way on some server.
Like I'm genuinely curious.
Like if you like talk back and forth on WhatsApp and they needed to pull up those conversations
from seven years ago, do they exist?
Because on email they for sure do.
Like WhatsApp and Telegram, they're supposedly encrypted.
Right.
And they can't access it from their server side without the encryption key.
But how do you actually know that's the truth and not just like their marketing?
Right.
What have you been seen about it, F?
You're pretty deep into these areas of things.
Not really too much as obviously the random stuff that are like pop up on Instagram.
People reposting crazy stuff.
But I listened to like one podcast yesterday, like an hour podcast.
Nothing that we didn't just talk about.
Yeah.
What do you think?
I think he's probably still alive.
Really?
Yeah.
But I'm on the same page of like who knows like some of the stuff.
Like now you can just write the most outlandish thing because it probably was a lot of
outlandish shit happening.
And then you can write stuff.
It's like what really happened?
I don't know.
It's so easy for any kid that has Photoshop to make an email
and then just post to the world.
I mean, just chat.
Nobody does their due diligence to see if it's real or not.
And then it runs wild.
And then it is interesting if someone were to post something blatantly fake,
but no one was believing it was fake.
And then you're in the comment saying this isn't real.
Everyone's like, why are you defending him?
Right.
Yeah, you can't defend them.
And that's not the point, but it's more the point of like
just not believing.
everything you see.
Yeah, this is definitely a lot bigger than left and right.
I think there needs to be some arrests.
And I don't really care which side it's on.
And also, it was interesting.
Evan just posed, he's like, dude, like, what if, you know,
if it ever gets out that, like, he's alive somewhere, like, you know, confirmed.
Like, there's going to be, like, a worldwide manhunt.
But it's like, how can someone hide for this long when you're world, worldly known?
So then I said, I was like, if you have a shitload of money.
Been hiding?
He's been hiding since 2019.
Like the only way would be like a ton of people are protecting you.
That would be the only way.
There's no one.
But think about how many people he was associated with that have a reason to like keep that
that under wraps.
There's so many people affiliated with him where it's like they have every reason to either
kill him or make sure he's silenced.
And that's where I understand like just killing him.
That's why you can't rule that out, yeah.
Right.
Like for how many powerful and, you know, politicians and celebrities
and how many people were, like, compromised by things that he knew?
Then you wonder, was he such an asset to certain super mega powerful rich people
that if someone else that was also associated with him was like,
I got to take him out, would then they be targeting that person that took him out?
To protect him?
Yeah, being like, why did you take him out?
We needed him.
Because he's like an Israeli spy.
Such an asset to them in whatever ways.
Pretty crazy.
You got to wonder, like, is there things that the world will just never find out?
Is this one of them?
But it's like, this is one of those things that people have not moved on from,
where obviously it's so crazy in the things that he did justify people not moving on from.
But, like, in this day and age, the internet just like one thing happens.
this week and then next everyone forgets about it.
And this doesn't seem to be one of those things.
Like you go into like any politicians comment section on X thread or on an
Instagram post and that's like all the comments.
Top comments, right?
And it's been like that for a long time.
Can I see the government and higher ups just like never giving people what they want?
Absolutely.
Moon landing 9-11.
There's plenty of like controversial things that someone.
Someone's got the answer to, but they're still just, no one knows the answer.
Never finds the way of giving it up.
But also, like, say they do just release everything and then there's always going to be
that group of people or it's like there's something else back there that's just buried
evidence.
I mean, you never truly know, like, what is the truth?
Like, is there truly some stuff that's just, we'll never see the light of day?
Or is this genuinely everything?
There's no way that this is everything.
There's no way.
It's everything.
Oh, absolutely not.
With that, though, like Evan said, like this is all that's being really.
least like does it end here like do people now move on well when is this is this is the release of
of the of the files when it does it end end at this point and then people are like okay well we didn't
get our answers so we're going to just leave it well that's what i'm curious because like the clintons are
like they agreed to testify they were about to be held in contempt which would basically mean
that they could arrest them for not testifying and so then on the last day before they were held
in contempt they agreed to testify but it's behind closed doors
is nothing will happen and then yeah nothing nothing i'll ever call it happened yeah and everyone's always
like oh as soon as this happens like it'll all be exposed like i feel like there's been so many instances
like that in so many different you know events or or like hot topics that never come to light a day
i keep thinking about hot topic of course every time you say that i do too of course you want to get
back there and shopping right some black trousers with a few chains yeah you know what i just wonder if we'll ever
get the full story on is shred 80 and spennie in australia i've been caught dude i've been calling
trying to get updates i know and just wonder what's going on gavin's running around in that swim
shirt all week i know i'm just so intrigued i just can't even imagine what those two are up to well i
told i told him the like spenny should just put on a live stream and follow gavin around australia
and see what this dude does yeah i mean i could just see him ordering copy yeah oh boy you
Oh, good day.
I was under the impression that after you were like double digits,
like 10 years old, you're not supposed to wear a swim shirt.
Yeah, I just am really curious what his reasoning is, I guess.
I mean, it's Australia.
It's summer down there.
The song is pretty strong.
I'll tell you why.
Yeah, this dude's a ginger and he...
Yeah, he is a red hat.
He burns if he's indoors.
Yeah.
The son's probably intense in Australia, right?
This guy.
It's summer down there.
He looks like when you bring a little kid to the beach,
Like little kids just like lose all their shit, right?
So the hat that he has on has a strap.
Has a strap with a clip on it.
And then, uh, you got the sunglasses that also have the band around the back.
Crokees.
He can't lose the sunglasses.
Like he just looks like you dressed your three year old son to bring to the beach.
I love that guy.
I FaceTimed him last night.
Spenny was actually nice enough to just flip the camera around and just let me watch him in the wild.
What a treat.
Yeah, it was.
Did you screen record it?
Of course.
Looks like I can.
pretty good time.
So Spenny's brother lives in Australia.
So they're visiting him and riding.
And it's just so funny that he brought Gavin,
a little side mission,
but a pretty big side mission, actually.
He's ripping two wheels down there.
Yeah.
Down under.
Dude, I think we got to go to Australia, though.
100%.
Spenny was like, bro, come.
And I was like, oh, fuck, I'm just a little busy.
Yeah, they were like, dude, just come this weekend.
I was like, isn't it like a 24-hour flight?
Yeah, bro.
They were in the plane for 15 hours,
Great. That sounds like literal hell.
It is crazy.
Like the way Gavin posts when they're getting on, he's like, yeah, we're on the plane.
It's going to be a long 18 hour flight.
And then post basically the next day and was like, can you believe we're still on the plane?
I played Xbox for a few hours, slept, woke up, went to the gym and they were still on a plane.
We got a pretty deep roster of fans in Australia, though.
So I think if we do go to Australia someday, we'd be able to have a pretty good time.
This is actually the perfect time.
How many people have hit us up.
Like, hey, if you ever make it to Australia, hit me up, mate.
Yeah, I might.
Yeah, let me just pull it up here.
This is a perfect time for a little game I have.
Okay.
You're getting deep in those notes.
Holy crap.
Oh, brother, I've got so many notes.
All right.
A little game called Blind Ranking are top 10 subscriber locations.
Country?
By country.
By country.
This is for the main channel.
Okay.
So I'm going to give you a country and you put it in which position you think.
Got it.
Who's doing it?
Are we like just kind of everybody as a group?
And then I'm going to take a note of it here for you.
All right.
Let's go Australia.
Where do you think Australia ranks?
Three to ten.
Three.
I agree.
Three or four.
I'm going to say four.
I guess we all have to agree here, boys.
It's three.
All right.
We go with three.
We're going to go a little, a little different one.
India.
That's got to be 10.
Nine or ten.
Let's go eight.
India's got a ton of people.
It's got a lot of people.
But they don't speak English.
Should we go nine?
Yeah, let's go nine.
Canada.
Two.
Two.
Germany.
I'd say five or six.
Yeah, I'd say five or six.
I'm going to say six.
Six then.
Man, they love beer over there.
They still don't keep it cold.
And the cylindrical meat.
What is up with that warm beer?
I don't know.
That's the way they do it.
That's not how they.
They drink it so fast, they don't have time to get it cold.
That's funny.
Okay, Brazil.
I think that could be a top six one, too.
What do we guess the other one?
We put Germany at six.
You got to think UK and New Zealand are going to be like probably four or five.
I think eight.
Okay, Ken, you brought up the UK.
Where do you think the UK's at?
You have one, four, five, seven, ten left.
Four, four, four.
Sweden.
Oh, shit.
I would have put Sweden at four.
So we'll put it at five.
Seven.
Five.
Can you just put United States as number one?
Okay.
We'll just,
we'll put the U.S.
is number one.
You're right.
Can you imagine if it wasn't?
Number one.
The Philippines.
That's got to be number 10.
Yeah,
call it 10.
What are we missing?
There's only one left.
And there's last one is Indonesia.
Oh,
right.
You're going to stick that one at number seven.
Seven.
All right.
Yeah, our list.
New Zealand is not on the list.
New Zealand is not on the list.
Oh.
Surprising.
All right.
So how do we do?
All righty, let's pull it up.
Number one.
All right.
United States.
Nice.
Very nice.
Second.
You guys ranked at number eight.
Second is India.
What?
Wow.
That's fucking crazy.
They really do have so many people that they are number two.
That must just be shorts because the view duration is.
That could be.
Oh, that is.
Yeah.
That is.
Okay.
Shorts.
Exclude shorts.
This is why we do wish YouTube would split shorts, analytics and long form content.
Well, yeah.
but not clearly for this.
Then you were right on the right track.
Canada number three.
Then you had...
Still wrong, though.
Yep.
Then you had Australia.
Australia is all the way down in number five.
Australia and UK, we had switched around.
We were close with, yeah, Australia and UK.
And then, yeah, Indonesia, Brazil, Philippines, Germany.
Sweden last.
But I guess it's got to be a puppy.
But again, to Ken's point, the view duration is...
Yep, you can tell where they're watching...
So they're watching the full...
videos in Sweden, but Germany looks like just shorts, Philippines, Brazil, Indonesia, just shorts,
Australia, they're obviously watching long form. UK, they are, Canada, they are, India, they are not.
I will say we do a great job of with the shorts is you don't need to know English to watch
Seaboy's TV shorts, especially. I mean, there's just so many viral shorts, right? So I think that it's
going to get to a point, though, where you go on YouTube and it's all just dubbed into your language,
just captions.
I've seen that on a few videos.
I can't remember if it's either Instagram or YouTube.
It'll automatically change the voice into whatever your native language is.
Yeah, I think Instagram is starting to do that more.
But we've looked into it for YouTube.
And it's a service that you have to pay for.
And you have to pay for like every single minute, right?
So if we have a 50 minute video, it's a lot more expensive.
But they actually go in and like the AI your mouth.
And they have like voice actors.
So it matches the words that you're,
saying you're right Ryan but like think of SORA now they yeah now Saur's good enough they just take your
voice and no it's I've seen I forget what platform is on's they don't change any of the the video
side of it but they'll automatically translate the audio side of it right but we're just saying
they take it one step further and they they sink the mouth it actually works pretty good I think
yeah you're saying like YouTube will eventually just I think integrate that I think it will yeah
I think it'll be integrated one day but like that's the beauty of I guess the content that we make
is I think that it's going to be applicable to the entire world of like people that like,
you know, action sports and automotive content where as soon as they can somewhat understand
what we're saying, it's a pretty universal thing, right? But like a lot of creators are pretty
like niche focus to the country that you live in, right? Especially if it's like a political or like
in, I don't know. Well, that's why.
Or anything like that that's kind of like dependent on the area that you're in. Right. That's why we
never really could watch KSI because we couldn't understand him.
It's just speaking English, but UK.
But I mean, you know, that's pretty cool to apply to the rest of the world.
But actually what sparked this challenge for me was, which how many do you guys get
right?
I was going to, I was going to have the podcast.
One, bro.
I think we got one, right.
Damn, I was going to have the podcast donate $1,000 to each one of you based on
how many you got right.
But then I was going to have, if you got them wrong, you would lose money.
Yeah, we would be.
Yeah, we would have been cooked.
$9,000.
Oh, go figure.
We don't make any money from this podcast, Ryan Zeland.
That walks away with money.
You're welcome.
We got a freebie right.
That's it.
What started this is I looked at our total views.
Two billion views, boys.
Oh, yeah.
Two billion views on the channel.
That's pretty awesome.
Wow.
We just rolled over it.
Pretty cool.
I mean, we rolled over by 43 million views, which is a fuck ton of views.
But I mean, two billion.
I think what's really cool, though, is like a good chunk of those views come from
long form.
Yeah, which is of just a much better trophy.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a lot easier to get short form views.
And then it's even easier to get short form views that convert to subscribers.
But like, I mean, we can look at our stat, but I'm assuming like 90 some percent of our
subscribers come from long form.
Yep.
Just what you want.
Yeah.
Same with the views.
So that's pretty awesome.
Good stuff, boys.
Great stuff.
Absolutely.
We're going to go see CJ had an appointment with.
with his knife connoisseur.
So he's a knife dealer.
His arms dealer.
T-X-Kiboy.
Ah.
Ooh.
I'm just going to beep that.
All right.
People can think.
What'd you beep?
What he said or what he did?
Well,
maybe I'll put that noise.
He's even got the mic closer to it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Your loose hinder is what we are.
Why?
I mean,
yeah.
Should we?
That's safe.
Or at least just say it.
Fuck it. We'll get the podcast subscribers a heads up.
And what will we give them a little insight to the next giveaway that's going live on Thursday night at 7 o'clock with a new drop?

TRX's two separate winners.
And how much we spent on paint matching?

But either way, a lot of added value with the paint matching
because TRX is
