Stupid, for sure. I'd say so. Wait, try with the flaps down. Dude, you look like Elmer Fudd. You got the flannel and everything.

Ben, you steal a hat from your dad. Does the flaps do me any good? No. I think they make you look more stupid, so yeah. No. Well, we're back. hitting two weeks in a row this is really good for us i'm surprised i'm actually not surprised we set a goal and we're doing it but we're doing it we're switching up the the seating cj's over

there me and me and cj don't mix very well because our knees bump into each other so i mean cj's in the hot seat no no no no he's just sitting over there and i don't think we've ever ran this formation of of uh us four before we got big ken back in here feel like i should bleach this the seat before i really sit in it too much no it's okay It's been five to seven days. It's all the time. Because of the pink eye or because of something else? Because of the pink guy, basically.

There's Mike has something else going. I mean, I don't know, Ben, are you hiding something from us? Ryan, I can't believe that you didn't go more in on Mike last week. I mean, it's kind of tough. You know, like, what am I going to do? People want to hear that you're mad, that you hate Mike, and that if he does your sister wrong, you're going to beat his ass and put him in the ground. He hasn't done it wrong yet.

If he does it wrong, then I'm going to kill him. but he hasn't done it wrong yet i mean both you guys are walking a fine line you know mike's walking dying ryan's walking going to jail um like i mean it's just you know if someone oversteps yeah exactly we keep we hold each other accountable it's like a domino if one goes then all of them the whole family torn apart you know what i'm saying though is like when everyone asks you like so ryan how do you feel about that they'd so badly want you to just be like oh i'm so mad about it don't don't people come up to you in public and ask about it now yeah it's just a common thing at the grocery store they're saying oh i heard mike's day

your sister like yeah comments on my instagram actually i think i got in a couple it's pretty exciting i'm not going to lie it was actually pretty funny the fan page so i posted the video of ken he was just kind of b sing when we were setting up the christmas tree and i had audio and ken goes yeah it was all fine until he started talking to my mom and then we didn't really get along or something along those lines and the band page picked it up and goes damn mike or something like that just assuming it was like and i was done The only person Mike's going to have left after the sisters, cousins, and moms will be grandmas. Oh, boy.

Mike. Grandma Mike. Would Mike technically be our grandpa then? Not dating our grandma, Ben. I was just saying he's going to date someone's grandma. Oh, you didn't mean within the group. I don't know. Why, has Mike been into moms?

Well, you know, the one friend that doesn't hang out of us anymore. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Mike kind of fucked up that we just had Canada of the podcast and talked shit about life hey he's not here to defend himself so it's all good oh that's hilarious maybe you guys have to do that we'll have to hash it out they'll do a hash out podcast there's something to hash out yeah and then after that we're going to have on our our old buddy that left the friend group because of Mike's decisions with his mom

Mike's in back there just like I didn't do anything Well, I was just like, if you want to fabricate this story, you can. It's been pretty fabricated. I didn't do it. Anyway. So I almost bought a Lambo last week. In my favorite city in the world, that's partly why I wanted to buy it. Viva Las Vegas.

Vegas. God, I love that place. I didn't buy it. It fell through, so it's not even really worth talking about. But I was more excited to go to Vegas. Go back to Vegas. I was, like, equally as excited to get the last. Lambo as I was.

Just a quick 24 hours in Vegas. I love Vegas so much. Dude, it's probably unhealthy how much I love Vegas. We've only been there once. You haven't developed an unhealthy habit yet. That's probably true. You haven't like flown away for a couple weekends here and there just a quick gamble. They'd probably be unhealthy then if I started doing that.

If we had more time, I probably would. Just take like the Elysian flight straight there and back. Dude, it was just so much fun. We went to Vegas a couple weeks ago for Seema. and we didn't we i mean you can't really film it you can't like walk around the casinos and film yourself that's illegal uh so anyway we're kind of you know off just doing us and uh me ken and cj and then our buddy tint found a new newfound love for gambling i mean we've ken and i've had that love for a while that love has been there for a while

you joined yeah i found a same as tint tint loves loves gambling well dude we would just we would just sit down we find a nice open blackjack table and we would sit down and all four of us would just all throw in a hundred bucks and then we would just watch it ride where one of us might lose it in the first four rounds or one of us might go up and up and up and it was something new every single time which was really fun just like good time like it's one thing if you're just constantly losing but they the casinos just kept throwing us a couple dubs to have us keep coming back yeah it's like I would and now I'm hooked great so Like during the day, I would win.

I could, you know, make my money and then go back at night after we've been drinking for a few hours and just lose all of it. And I'd have to start the cycle over again the next day. That's why I steered clear of the gambling tables. The thing is, though, Ryan, you didn't have as much fun as us. You didn't have a lot fun. I guarantee you spent more money than we did that weekend, being that every time we would sit down to start gambling, you would just have to stand there and walk around.

And then you'd have to buy drinks and the drinks there are like $35 where we, We just get them for free. Yeah, but I mean, like we walked, it wasn't like we just stood there or stood there and walked around aimlessly. Like, we went and did things. We wouldn't have fun. It was fun walking around.

That's my favorite part about Vegas. The best part about Vegas is walking around. But I will say, last time wasn't as much fun as the previous times. And it wasn't because of like... Because of us? No, it wasn't. I'm not sure if it was because I've just been to Vegas enough times

or I've just kind of seen it all. but also realistically what it what it really was was I just was so sick I was like sweating and I was like I was running a temp and like I felt like shit the whole time so it wasn't fun like drinking and like having to walk soup like everywhere you'd walk so many miles a day but yeah so not kind of a little bit of a bitter taste about Vegas I'm like hesitant to go back but I mean when you were going to go for that car I was I was fucking down I thought it was just going to be me and you because like those guys were at the concert whatever I was like yeah

This is going to be great. We would have tore it off siege. We don't come back for a week. You guys don't hear from us. We pull a Dennis Rodman. Yes, exactly. It's just like that. Just leaves the Chicago Bulls and fucks off in Vegas for a week.

Dude, I think if anyone is listening to this and they're of age, you have to be 21 to even just get into the casinos in Vegas. So, like, don't go to Vegas unless you're 21. But if you have a group of boys and you guys have never been, nobody's ever been to Vegas. and you guys all go, I guarantee you're going to have a good time and just put, like, I don't know,

even 500 bucks aside to just, like, that's your gambling money. Because, like, dude, I think if you go, you got to just hit up the blackjack table because that was most of the fun that we had, I feel like. Yeah, yeah. And just, like, be okay with losing it.

Obviously, don't bet the farm. But, dude, it was a good time. I don't know why it was so much fun. Maybe it was because it was my first time. That's probably why. But you can literally get, it's like a city of no rules and no laws and it's like it just feels like everything you're doing should be illegal but it's just like accepted bagus is just such a different place like you can just

go to the local convenience store and get a twisted tea a 24 ounce twisted tea so like the weapon one for like two bucks for two bucks and then just walk the strip and you walk through the casinos and you can just like go anywhere and you're just like drinking a twisted tea and you're just like what is going on and like the people watching like you said it's just insane and we barely even saw half of it yeah what was crazy to me is like everything was connected and you never really had to go outside like you'd walk through a casino and then you'd be in a hotel and then you'd be in a mall with like really expensive stores that none of us would shop at and then you're in another casino and then there's a pool and it's just all this connected yeah that's pretty

labyrinth of stuff I'm ready to go back whenever me too honestly twist my arm oh fuck the podcast I wasn't that hooked on Vegas until the airport. We sat down at that slot machine and had the little song, the little hot stuff song, and we were all in the airport, like, cheering, making a scene. We were causing a scene, yeah, because Tim was winning. We were acting such a fool that security came up to us and had to check our IDs because they were just like, there's no way these guys are of age. They were just acting like children.

And then like other people would kind of come in and then like they would play the machine that we weren't playing. That one lady won. That one lady won. And normally people that were like gambling on the machine and then somebody came and like jacked it. Technically they'd be like all pissed about it. But we were like,

Let's go! I'm about a hot start ticket tonight. That sounds sweet. Oh, that was the best. Yeah. Maybe that's why, dude. We left on such a high note. I mean, it was fun the whole time.

Is that one last time you can gamble before you leave the state? That's true. Dude, that was so fun. You can go to local bars, Ben and, I mean, maybe not around here, but if you go not far from here, you can, like, gamble blackjack. I played in Duluth. It's sucked.

It's not the same vibe. Don't go to the same vibe. Don't do it. Go to Monoman maybe for a weekend. I don't know, dude. It just doesn't sound as fun. And if you're going to do it and try and be less of a D-Gen about it, you know, just, like, reserve it for Vegas.

Yeah, save you're going to do it. Do it big in Vegas. Save up all those, all your money. When we were watching, you're. Ryan's girlfriend's brother, right? No, Ryan's, hold up. He's not only looking stupid today. He's feeling stupid.

Let me restart that. Ryan's girlfriend's friend's boyfriend. There we go. It was just in Vegas, which is what made me think of that. And he went to the UFC fight this last weekend. That would be fun. Man, I had FOMO and I didn't even, I don't even know the guy. I was like, dude, that sounds so much fun.

I think next UFC fight that's in Vegas, we got to go. We do. And those fights were electric. That was probably the best UFC fight that I remember watching. I think that's the best pay-per-view we have ever bought. Yeah, it was fun because there was like quick fights too. You know, they were all like they went hard and it only went like two rounds deep. There's another big fight this weekend though, Jake Paul versus Tyrone Woodley.

That's right. Dude, who backed out again? Tyson Fury. Tommy Fury. Tommy Fury. Tyson Fury is like the legend. Sorry. Why do you back out?

He had some kind of infection in his liver or something like his rib broke or something like that. And the broken rib, yeah. I don't blame him for backing out, honestly, if he actually is, like, fucked up because you don't want to go in there, not at your best and then lose Jake Paul as a real legit, like Jake Paul, I would say is a legitimate box now. But as a real boxer, like that is all you do and you lose to him, you're just kind of kind of be a joke for the rest. You're never going to live that down. Yeah, nobody really puts respect on Jake Paul's name. I think they are now.

They're definitely afraid of them. And I think they should. Yeah, I mean, you should. He's a great fighter. But do you think that people say that about, like, Tyron Woodley, though, after Tyrant lost? No. He wasn't really a, he's not a boxer.

He's a UFC fighter, and he's known for, like, wrestling more so. you know with ufc there's so many dynamics to the fight rather than just boxing like you can't throw you know obviously kicks or you can't take people down use jiu jitzu and boxing and that's like a huge part of ufc like you don't you do have to be a well-rounded fighter but obviously if you are just you know if you're an expert in jiu jitsu you're going to be able to hold your own and probably win a lot of fights still whether you're a good striker or not whereas in boxing and you have to be a good striker. But anyways,

the only thing that's, the problem that Tommy Fury is running into is they were talking so much shit and like talking shit on Jake Paul like, oh, I could beat him with a cold, with one arm tied behind my back, and with like a broken rib. And then now he's like sick or has a broken rib.

He's like, I'm not fighting him, you know? So it's just like kind of played himself there. Yeah. But I don't blame him if he actually is. You never know, you know. But also maybe he is scared. I have no idea. I mean, definitely the YouTubers that started boxing kind of got, you know, more of like the normal crowd that wasn't really watching fights into watching fights.

But, dude, UFC, I'd say like the last six months we watch all the UFC pay-per-views. Dude, those are the big ones, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I should say that. That's like the most fun I've had in a long time just watching the fight the other night. Yeah, that's a blast, dude. It's so fun. It's nice. You just kind of get to chill in with the boys.

Everyone's just, it's just a good time. It was just, nothing too crazy. We're all just like cheering on. Yeah, it is electric. That's why I was like,

man, we got to go to one of these in person. It'd be fun to, like, play some bets and stuff. If you were in Vegas, obviously you could then. That'd make you even more invested in the fight. Yeah.

Obviously, we could do some bets this weekend on the Jake Paul, Tyrone Woodley fight. Well, I mean, between us, we can't, we live in Minnesota, and you can't bet online. Minnesota. I'm saying between us, but obviously I'm, I'm going to probably pick Jake Paul.

I don't know if anyone else will go against that. So Justin probably will. Definitely will. You will, Mike? Sweet. What are we putting here? 100 bucks? And I'm kicking the nuts. Do they have a sports book in Monoman? Ken, what's you deal with Monoman? You want to go to Monoman so bad, dude. I don't know. I've just never been there. I kind of want to. You've never been to Monoman? Never been there. That's why you want to go there. I think it's kind of like saying you, like, want to go visit Detroit. I'd never want to see Detroit. I think it's just, like, going to a place that, like, isn't really desired to go in terms of casinos.

Check it out, maybe. Yeah, I think, honestly, we'd probably have a good time. Especially if we took the limo there. It's not as much of a vibe as you guys think. Well, it's not a vibe. It's like a, it's like a, it's like a casino in the middle of a field. A native reservation casino, you know, and, like, they're just smoking in there, and it's not, like, super lit. It's not like Vegas fives at all.

Kenna love that, dude. You can smoke inside? Can you love that, dude? You can smoke at every casino. Well, you should love that then. Ken's just a vapor. You can do that pretty much anywhere. That's true.

I did see that tornado that ripped through Kentucky or wherever it was last weekend. What was you deal with that? Apparently, like, ripped the roof off the Corvette factory. What? I did hear that. It's a halted production for a week. Corvette prices just going through the roof. The week after I saw my Corvette.

Dude, Ben, you are the worst investor. I would consider myself top five. Worst of all times, yeah. There was, like, a picture of the storage facility with a bunch of corvettes and just the roof was gone. Yeah. Dude, that is seriously going to slow up. What's up? They were already slow as balls.

What's up with, like, natural disasters taking out Corvette factories and Corvette museums? You're right, dude. The Corvette Museum wasn't a sinkhole. The whole thing disappeared. You didn't know that? Yeah, like, probably 10 years ago. The whole Corvette Museum, like, rare, rare super rare corvette just fell into the ground like a long a long ways i mean not like to the

core of the earth but i mean like a good 50 feet yeah the fuck does that happen i don't i don't know who built that and was just like yeah it'll be fine i think it was like a water leak or something under it really yeah but just bad news bears so all the cars are just done yeah and then now they have some of them they kept them though they craned a bunch of them out of that hole and i think some of them got restored something like sat as is yeah they leave them as is that's terrible You guys ever hear about that old car that the guy put in the box, the concrete box and buried in the ground? Oh, yeah. I remember you a little bit telling me about this.

And so he, yeah, this guy. It wasn't even that cool of a car. Well, it was probably back then. So like in the 50s, this guy took this car and put it in a watertight, airtight, concrete box and buried it in the ground in, like Kansas for like some city event. He was going to pull the car out and it was going to look perfect. How many years later? I think like 50 years or something like that. Wow.

That would be an event. They pull this thing out. You know, they got a whole garage. What a spectacle. Yeah, so they pull it out. Wait, so hold on. They put it in the ground. So, yeah, they build this concrete box.

Okay. And then they put the car in it. Yeah, yeah. And then you seal it. And then you crane that down into the ground. And then that stays. Can you not watch TikTok right now, Mike? Can you turn your fucking ringer off?

So they crane this whole box into the ground and then they buried it. And so the goal is you to have this perfect. car that hadn't experienced anything. Wow, that'd been sick. So then they go down to pull it out, 50 years later, they crane it out and they notice a little bit of water leaking out of it and they opened it up in the whole thing groundwater got into it and just wrecked the entire car. Like it filled up with water and just rusted the entire thing.

But I think they left it as is because, you know, it's like this whole thing that they tried to preserve this car and then it couldn't. I was watching. That is crazy, dude, because I'd imagine that the- He'd been better off just putting it in a storage unit. Well, the concrete... It's probably driving it. The concrete cracks.

They didn't think about that? Yeah, I don't know. I think there was like plans in place, but yeah, they just didn't do a good enough job. They were stupid back then. I was watching TikTok last night and I came across the TikTok of Nipsey Hustle, RIP, talking about his brother when he was like 15 years old, his brother must have been a drug dealer or something like that who was like 18 older than him. And I don't know the context of it. So I guess the brother buried like a quarter million dollars in the mom's backyard.

What? And I don't know if the brother ended up. Cash then, obviously? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I don't know if the brother passed away or what, but they dug it up a year later. Just a year later. One year later. One year later. And half of it was molded.

Yeah. And it was like molded together. Well, he obviously didn't do it well about it. Like he didn't wrap it up. Yeah. Put in, like, a Ziploc bag or something? God, damn. I'd assume not, but then they, he was like, yeah, so then we had a quarter million dollars

spread across my mom's kitchen table and living room, all of us with blow dryers, trying to dry it out so then we could get the money dry or the mold dry or whatever and then peel the dollars apart without ripping them. Imagine that. Sounds stressful. Yep, you don't have to worry about that anymore with crypto. Bitcoin. You just hide your money in there, but you can't convert it.

from cash to people that's like that's what they say well and if no no no that's what they say about like nfts is like nfts is like the biggest form of money laundering now makes sense we should make an nfti of that pelican back there yeah that'd be good we could sell it for a million dollars yeah if not two if not two to ourselves and then we sell it as a discount and then we make money how you sell for what $10 that's a discount we sell it that $2 million yeah does anybody have any idea like how they launder money through NFTs

can you talk about that at all I don't I just know that they do that I don't I don't understand the logistics of how because like you still have to have a trail of like how did you buy that 10 million dollars you can like buy the Bitcoin and then you got to like do the NFT but

don't you have to show proof of income to buy the crypto no I don't think you have to do that with really any cryptos but you still got to... As long as you have the money in that. The cash has to end up somewhere. So you got to buy,

you got to trade the cash for crypto, but how do you do that? Like I can understand like how money laundering through like a, I don't know, like a laundromat or something works or a gas station, but... I think they just, I think the laundry and money laundering

doesn't have to do a laundromat. No, no, that's very, that's very common because it's a cash-based business or... Car wash or laundromat. That's where the term money laundering came from. because they'd use laundromats. I just got mobster educated. My bad, dude.

One of the most successful mobsters, I can't remember the guy's name, but what he did was bought a bunch of gas stations and was just charging tax on this gas, which wasn't real tax, and that's how they were laundering hundreds and millions of dollars. No idea.

That was a terrible explanation now, but I know like gas stations with like gas tax oh yeah I think I remember it was like a Netflix show or something yeah imagine having so much money you got to figure out how to launder it what a weird problem dude imagine having that much cash it's pretty useless it is kind of useless in this day and age I know a lot of drug aren't a lot of drug dealers using Venmo and can't you just transfer like Venmo that'd be sketchy because that that's still like a super long paper trail they'll find you normally unless you're really good yeah that seems sketchy pay your taxes go to church don't money launder not financial financial advice

not a certified financial advisor yeah so ryan you uh you went to put your exhaust on a couple days ago this is a pretty funny story god damn are you like trying to get like a re-up a third rendition of the dummy zone shirt with with that your latest stunt no dude i just was it an accident Or were you just doing this because you wanted the attention? I don't even know. Like, I don't know how someone manages to do this. Okay. I have noticed this in other parts in my life.

I am lazy. And in my laziness, I make more work for myself. Because you don't think. Because I rush through it. I'm like, I don't want to figure. I don't want to lay all the exhaust out. So then I. No way to cut it.

So what I did. You're putting an exhaust on your TRX. I'm putting exhaust on my TRX. And the bolts weren't really coming out. It was all tight. And I go, screw this, guys. Let's go get the saws all. So get the saws all and I start cutting.

And I go, well, yeah. So I start at the back and chop it all up and go, you know, start throwing it out the door. And I get it all taken off, get up to the cats. And I go, okay, I bought a cat back exhaust. So I better stop here. I go to put on all the new exhaust. And I realized that I was supposed to include the factory. pipes from the cat to the x pipe so there was like the midpipe there was about six feet of

exhaust that i cut off that i did not get with my exhaust kit and i had just a big saws-all mark you legitimately straight piped your your car yes on accident accidentally straight piping mic t r x so dumb but get to the best part yeah so i i put all the exhaust on hammered together and i'm like oh my god this is so dumb i fit all the pipes up so there's literally just like a slash through my exhaust where it's supposed to be so it sounds like a freaking truck with an exhaust league i have a video sounds like a oh one silverado just top in the high school parking lot yeah i have a high school this sounds pretty good what do you mean it when you had accelerated like clap

you know yeah it was so bad and i have a video of me sitting in traffic and you can hear like reverberating off the car next to me just sounding like crap and you're just revving it yeah just revving it so you can't embrace so i uh realize i'm gonna have to get this welded so i call the exhaust shop and i didn't really know i called a couple places like more professional places and they're like sure we'll get you in in three months i was like oh i can't wait till then so i end up working down the list and get to sketchier and sketchier muffler shops that i have seen probably going to get a better price on it too oh i did i'll tell you how much of us so I call and the guy goes, oh, yeah, you know, I explained to him what happened.

I go, yeah, I bought exhausts for my truck, but I accidentally cut the wrong piece. So I need this piece welded together. He goes, okay, yeah, yeah, no problem. We can do that. It's going to be 25 bucks. I'm like, Jesus. Okay, cool. Yep.

That's almost when you get worried. That's, I was a little bit worried, to be honest. And so he goes, so what year is it? And I go, it's a 2021. And he goes, no, what year is the vehicle? And I, like, was confused. I go, it's a 2021. Oh, I thought you were talking about what year is it today?

It's a 2021. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's a, it's a RAM TRX. He's probably confused. They go, it's a RAM TRX. And he goes, long pause. He goes, okay, yep, we should be able to get that. He's like, man, we really got a genius coming in here later.

The whole staff is like, oh, I got to come in to see this guy. They're taking bets on what are you going to look like? Dude, I feel like such an idiot. So I pull up to this place and hop out and I got my girlfriend's dog with me. I got a little golden doodle on the whole thing. Oh, my God. Freaking out. And I'm like, yep, here's the spot where it is.

Welded up. And he was like, all right, it's going to be $25. It should take me about 30 minutes. I go, all right, sounds good. My daddy should come through to pay that bill. Ryan walks up. Hold my little puppy. Got pink leash

I was like Oh my god And as I sat there And the guy came in He was like yep I also tightened up all the clamps They were really loose So I got that all tightened up

To make sure you know Keep watching on those But should be good to go So now I don't have an exhaust leak Nice guy 25 bucks too You get under there And you find out he just

Did like the Bondo Around He just taped it up Or something like that Gasket maker It was quiet Who cares Yeah I mean

it sounds good i i tested it and it seems to be good but it is nice now have an exhaust i feel like a real truck asshole now yeah but it actually does it fits the truck more because it was so fast but it was so quiet so it's nice to be able to hear the engine a little bit so it's interesting after last video i was reading the comments and uh a lot of people were just saying like you guys just like i don't care what you do like there's so many like this i don't care what you do like just like film like If you're just doing stuff in the shop, whatever, like yada, yada, and like to us, we're always kind of like, ah, seems kind of boring, slow, whatever, so we normally cut most of it or don't even bother filming it at all.

And I'm just curious, you know, like, if we should try showing more of that. But obviously, it's just not going to be a typical C-Boy's TV video, but we would totally be able to make more of them. I don't know. That's tough because, yeah, I think a lot of people would find it more interesting, but for It would also, like, limit, yeah, I agree. I think they'd get sick of it eventually. And I think, at least for me and you, we would understand this is, like, even when we drop a video that we're, like, not so proud of, it's like, we just call them, like, bass hits.

Like, yeah, it's a base hit. You know, it's not a banger, but it's a base hit. Like, that's, like, the hardest part is being, just, like, keeping ourselves excited about what we're filming. Right. Because we've done so much at this point. But it's like, yeah, people might be more intrigued to see it. But if we're not super excited about it, then. Yeah, but I mean, you put yourself aside.

If people want to see that. But that's the podcast. Like, yeah. And that might be a different channel. Like that might just be like a garage channel or something like that. I think like our videos are so refined and they have such a style to them. It's like, why switch it up now? doing us a disservice realistically because then it's like if you are new and you come across

the channel and then it's like a slower video you might be opted to not you don't understand you know you kind of want to keep it consistent of what you're going to get when you click on our video you know and that's what we have been at least trying to do like i mean i'd just be interested i guess obviously the people that watch the podcast will pretty much watch anything yeah those are like that we're there are die hard fans yeah subscribers yeah so i guess i would ask but i'd be curious you know drop it in the comments it's it's really fun reading the comments on like the podcast it's a lot of why i think there's they're more closer connection yeah there's just they're more uh in-depth comments i guess you know rather than just like this is a great video you know

it's like which i like those as well thank you but it's interesting like they normally have more something to say more critical things to say uh i also with that is um wow i just squeaked i haven't squeaked in a while i was doing pretty good Actually. You just finally damn near out of the woods with puberty. Might get a little bit more dick growth, though. Don't hold your breath, buddy. Yeah, I'm joking.

I think we're in such a weird, like when the camera comes on, it's like we're doing something for the camera, or we're explaining something or, you know, showcasing something, whether it's entertaining or explanation. something like that right so it's like somebody comes around oh not somebody one of us comes around with the camera and you're just like showing it it's like kind of it's like breaking that mold of what we're used to doing too which also might affect how we act when we're like not doing that then i don't know if it would help or hurt it but it would just be such a different style

format you know what I'm saying I was kind of just asking I guess because I saw it so many times and figured maybe we could explain it well dude the thing is though is we do everything we do so many random things and like that's the videos we just make it entertaining but like I was going to say maybe

maybe you know the answer is to try and slow it down slightly just you know pull it back a tiny bit slow it down um not be as critical with like the cuts but that that just be the only thing i'd say we could maybe do one thing i wonder about it's like you get a piece of pizza and you eat the piece of pizza and you go wow that was really good that's all the pizza you get you want more pizza then you get a full pizza and you have to eat the entire thing about halfway through

you're like there's a lot of pizza i don't want all those pizza it's like that with the video when you get that ran through version where everything is just the best and it's funny and you're you're hitting all the points you're like that was great i want more and when you when you guys watch it you're like that that was good i enjoyed every minute of it but if we started slowing it down and putting in lots of these things that a lot of people wouldn't find interesting do you watch a video and you lean back and go right i'm glad that's over i'm good yeah no i agree with that i'm not saying throw everything in no definitely not but i mean that's like a at that point do they click through it faster do they skip parts and yeah i mean that is about it like off i think i think i

think ours is a pretty good mix of both though yeah but it's like i don't know dude we've been doing it for so long and our style literally has not changed in like four years it's definitely evolved it no it's 100% involved but you know but it's all very similar yeah it's like a better crafted version of uh you know it's just constantly getting better and better and better yeah but like you guys say we'd love to hear what what what what do you guys yeah that was more so my definitely my uh question but um i mean david dobrick switched up his style so david dobrick he was like the king of vlogging for like four years or three years i don't like a bigillion views and then got canceled and then he took like eight months off and then he came back

and he did like a couple of the same style vlogs and then he like just completely switched up his format pretty much i don't know it i i honestly I was so used to his old format. I was that guy that didn't really like the new format because I liked the old one versus it being like refreshing. And my sister thought it was a breath of fresh hair. She's like, it's so nice. The switch up.

So there's so many different opinions. You get half people like it, half the people that don't. I mean, I personally like it. I can't say I've watched many of his new videos, though, since he switched. You know, you only watch YouTube, though. Do you watch any YouTube? Yes, I do. What's the last YouTube video?

And you can't say Doug DeMiro. That actually was the last video. What? Well, that doesn't particularly surprise me. Ken, do you watch our videos? Yeah. Okay. Did you watch, like, who else do you watch on YouTube?

Oh, God. I don't even know if I want to go through it, but. Why? I watch Steve, I watch Steve and Elk and. Speaking of Steve, totally off topic. here, but have we told the story of Steve? All right, guys, brief break in the podcast today to mention a word from our sponsor, Better

Now back to the program. Should we tell the story of Steve?

I wish Mike was here. In the last couple of months. Yeah, Mike wants to sit in on this one, Steve. So when we were getting our shop remodeled and built, which it was like a seven, eight month process, probably around then, there was two guys working on our shop, Dan and Steve, and they were just beauties. Great guys.

Anyways. Then there was Jeff. Then there was Jeff as well. He wasn't here as much. He was here probably half as much. But he was like the drywaller, and he would kind of work on his own. Anyways, we go and we're checking out this house

that's getting just down the way that's being remodeled. They had the whole thing gutted. And just Jeff is there. And we're in there, we're walking around. And we got to know, we got to know the three pretty well. We got to know them pretty well. We'd bullshit with them, talk with them. You know, we'd see them every day.

Yeah. Anyways, so we go and we tour this house. And I was really nice and all that. Anyways, Jeff is there. He's just kind of standing there in the kitchen. And we're about to walk out. And I see Ben and Mike. it kind of like whispering to each other and like chuckling i'm like huh i wonder what they're talking

about and then i keep walking and then right after that mike just walks up and goes and and keep in mind the guy in the that we've spent the last eight months with name is jeff standing right next to us mike goes see you steve walks out no no i literally like salute him see you see steve and like you said it like contact and all yeah i contact and everything he like doesn't say anything and I just I thought that you guys like yeah you should call him Steve that be funny and we walk out and I go why'd you say that that wasn't funny at all and you go what do you mean I go you called Jeff Steve and Mike goes and everyone bursts out laughing burst out laughing meanwhile we look over and Jeff is hopping in his pickup and he like tears out of there

slams it like he was pissed I don't know if he was pissed I don't think he was but it looked like he was so ever since then we've just been calling everyone steve actually everyone's steve your steve he's steve he's steve he's steve he's pretty confusing around the shop because i'll be in my office or whatever and then i'll hear one of these guys yell hey steve and i don't know if they're calling for me ken well that's the nice part is everyone you basically you get everyone's attention it's like uh it's like a corral of all of us i've started ignoring it because i guess so I don't know where I go. Yeah, I don't think I want.

I don't respond. And then you go, not you, Steve, other Steve. Well, it worked for a while. I did the same thing. I was like, I kind of started ignoring it. Also, based on the way you say it, I can tell if you're talking to Ken or me. That's true. Yeah.

Steven. So it's Steve, Stephen. I call my girlfriend Stevie. See, Stevie. So, yeah, now the actual Steve is kind of a legend. Like, yeah, Dan and Steve, the one that was working on a shop. Steve, he's the best. Jeff, this summer gave me, uh,

Now he plays into it. I can call him Steve freely. And he laughs. He gave me like a sandwich just with the two butt ends of the bread and then just butter on the middle. And then he's like, too, Mike, I'm from Steve. I still don't understand the context of that. Well, it's just a shitty sandwich.

Yeah. Just like, aha, thanks for calling me Steve. Oh, okay. Stupid Ed. Yeah. And then, and then. You just don't get a dude, do you? He's just, he hasn't lived enough life.

That's the problem. I'm a 2000s, baby. Born in 2000, leave me alone. Those kids, they're just different. They're just different, you know? They don't make them like they used to. I don't know, you know. That's for sure.

Dude, talk about, oh my gosh, man. But, yeah, I mean, when you're talking about like, hey, man, you're the dandum of my Steve. We've created quite a meme out of that crew. It's such a meme, and we talk about that a lot is, do other friend groups just make memes out of people? Because, like, we pretty much got a revolving door. of characters in our life that we just turn into memes behind the scenes we have so many like behind the scene jokes like editing last video i couldn't put 90% of that 95 99% of them in because no one would get it but the whole time we're laughing about it we're chuckling about

the whole time we're going to chop this tree down but it's like if i put this in the video no one is going to get it they're just going to be like what that makes no sense but like we have so much just like just lay And layers of just jokes that no one else would get. Just inside memes, dude. Our life is a massive inside meme. This is a big inside joke. Yeah, it's like for the record.

It is called inside joke, but we kind of twist it into like meming people. We have plenty of inside jokes as well, but it always revolves around a certain person that we all find really funny or peculiar or something. It's when they just slip up one time. And one of us happens to notice it. And then we mentioned it to the other.

And they also noticed it. And then it's like, oh, shit. They're a meme. But, like, yeah, some people listen to this shaking their boots right now. No, I think most of the time, like, 90% of the time, it were just strictly just giggling about it. And we love it more for it, dude. They're so stupid, too. Like, the jokes are so stupid.

I think you're talking about the people. No, no. No, like, the joke is so stupid. Like, if you try to explain to someone, they wouldn't. get it but it's just like we just have that chemistry i'm sure plenty everyone there's probably a lot of people watching that like they have their friend group and they're just i don't know it's just the best just chuckling when the whole day when i was at deer camp a couple weeks ago we were out at the bar that night we met this one guy who was seriously just a meme he was a walking meme

and we just made such a joke out of it and we went home and all of us are crying laughing about jack and i get i get to the shop on monday and i'm like i sit at everyone down. I'm like, you guys will not believe what happened to me this weekend. I give them the whole story. I tell them about Jack. Not even a chuckle. They didn't understand it in the slightest.

I was like, you got to be there. You guys just don't get it. Yeah. You have to be there. Yeah. That's one of those things that's going to come with age just knowing, you know, like, hey, this is a joke that, you know, you had to be there.

So I'm not going to waste telling other people's time. I wasted you guys' time. Then you start doubting your, no. Because then you, like, I've done plenty of time. Right after you do that, you're doubting yourself. Like, was it that funny? Like, I don't know. Am I not funny?

Like, what? God, that was stupid. Why'd I say that? What's a good meme? Like, we got to have a... I was trying to think of an example that we could explain in the next three minutes. Oh, we just have so many. They just cover...

I was going to say, okay, so this, you know, correct me if I'm overstepped in some turf here. But I'm just going to say it. We kind of made... Because we equally memed ourselves in this situation, the meme with... I don't know if we can talk about it. Can we talk about that? Fuck, I don't know. I didn't mean, yeah, no, I didn't get where you're at, but I just want to.

Yeah, yeah. I wonder if we can think of one, like, another one. Right. We just had to cut a whole bunch out because it literally would not make sense. Yeah, we would be just like, trying to figure it out. It would be like a joke that isn't funny, you know? And we don't want to. You have to be there.

We don't want to do that to ourselves. It's interesting. I think friend groups, there's a lot of friend groups that have that. Do you guys see, and like, I don't know if this is true or not, but the deal with Danny Duncan now. Bro, fucking Aaron, Sun Hat, Gary started this. He's like, bro, you're supposed to pay attention to me. He's supposed to pay attention to me.

It's a serious thing, but, and who knows if it's all real, I'm not taking sides, but, uh, fuck, dude, now it's like he's got all these girls coming out against them. Like, not necessarily saying, um, that he, like, assaulted them unwillingly or anything like that. But it's like, there were just underage girls that he was, like, talking to and maybe doing things he shouldn't do with. And with, like, Sun Hat Kid, he was able to respond. Right.

But with this, like, how do you respond? Dude, it's just, like, you, he opened up that door, and now fucking the floodgates are open. It's just like a fucking domino effect now. Sun Hat Kid was the wooden horse to get through the Trojan horse. Dude, he's got a pet. Anyone else that has an issue with Danny Duncan is like, now they're coming out, hopping out.

And I'm not defending. I don't know if it's true. I don't know of any of that stuff. If it is true, that's wrong. You know, you can't fucking talk to underage girls. That's fucked up. But yeah, I don't know. I just keep chuckling myself that fucking Sunhack kid.

Jim Hors. Yeah, man, it is. That kid. Dude, man, Danny Duncan's got to hate him so much. I'm sure. And you know, like, Sunhack kids is, now it's like he is just the thing of the past. It's all these new stories. I'm sure he's sitting over there like, hey, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm supposed to be the main story here. Yeah. Not these people. What about me? Yeah. They're like, oh, yeah, we don't care about you anymore. Yeah, I don't know, though. It's interesting because I feel like there's like, it's just like, and you don't know, like,

how many are true, how many are not true. And I'm sure, you know, just with situations across the board, with previous things that have happened with different people, it's like, I'm sure there was a lot of people that were, you know, being honest. And then there's also people that just want to get some clout or try to get some money or whatever. And then they come out with allegations or there's fucking crazy. You know, like it's just a thing with being a celebrity.

You can't slip up. yeah and especially doing something like that that's fucked up which i'm not saying did it who knows it was true but the allegations yeah it's not sounding good in general don't be a bad person but goes back to last podcast shit gets yeah yeah just don't be a bad guy it's also like people love to watch the downfall watch the downfall too yeah that's true granted i mean if you're actually a piece shit and you did something wrong then it's justified but it's like there's so many people that are just they're just praying that you fail and then there's also people that are like let's say you're not a danny fan but you literally don't pursue him but then all of a sudden you hear about that

and then you take the you take everybody else's side the hater side you know like you might not be that big of a fan but you also don't really like watch them or whatever and then you hear about that And you're like, yeah, and then you hop on the hater side. That's when. Yeah. I agree that people love, people love to watch a downfall. And I believe that drives a lot of it. But that being said, like, that doesn't excuse that someone should be, like, let off for a certain type of behavior.

You know, like, whether you like to watch a downfall and that's why it came out, like, you can't let the people love to watch a downfall. Be the narrative. Be the narrative of why someone came out. and you know that these girls that this happened to aren't aren't doing it for clout you know maybe maybe some of them see and then now they're like

dang someone else spoke out and like now I feel empowered to speak up because I'm sure it happens to people when you be scared you know I mean you think what something bad happens to you you're like oh wow I don't want to say anything but that's someone else does say something who knows yeah exactly so I mean it's really just like a sad

situation that I mean it's not for us to no exactly like you know obviously we got to stay neutral because obviously we're not the fucking judge we don't know the facts so exactly we just know what what has been you know came out and what has allegedly been said and happened or whatever yeah dude imagine being those chicks though going against like a cult army right yeah because he means got a diehard fan base yeah yeah that's a terrible thing you can't defend either side you don't know the facts yeah i agree i feel like it's just you got to say neutral and shit like that, I mean, at least until the fucking facts come out, more facts, you know.

Yeah, I wonder if in that situation or any of those situations, if they get a lot of DMs from said diehard fans. They do, they do. They get, like, oh, I'm sure, so much hate, hate, so many threats in people defending Danny because they think Danny's right and they think these chicks are just lying and they're, you know, I don't know. Right. So if they're not lying, though, imagine, like, how much.

much that would suck is you just got like an entire fan base just coming after you when you're technically in the right you've already been through yeah on lighter on a lighter subject back to the meme i have a good example of this now really gary v i granted i think gary v is a he's a publicly he's a national meme at this point but dude we have this we have this one joke between, it's mostly me, Ryan, and Mike. CJ mostly doesn't understand our memes. I get it. I mean,

it's just like... I just don't think of super. It's just silly. That's all. But there's this TikTok of Gary V. gone, or this dude imitating Gary Vee. Which is basically meming Gary Vee. He's the original meamer of Gary Vee. And he goes, but

are you happy? And it's just like... A whole bunch He does a whole bunch of them. But we thought that was the funniest line is when he goes but are you happy so when mics will just be talking and i'll just go silent i'll just go but are you happy in the gary b voice i think it's funny but you guys done it literally a hundred times i didn't think it was as funny as you guys obviously out the gate i was just like yeah it's pretty funny like that sounds exactly like gary that is a good example it's just like when when you find something about a person

that you find funny and it's not a flaw It's not like you're making fun of them. No, it's just like... But you find it funny, and then you just take that character trait of that person and exaggerate it. Mm-hmm. And then that is what they become. I feel like we, like, if there's someone in, like, our lives or area that we, you know, end up meming, it makes us like them more. Yeah, exactly.

You know, every time. We're more opted to, like, want to hang out with them or, you know, we just think higher of them. If you have a nickname in our group, you are in. Yeah. Like you're in, if you get nicknamed, just consider yourself good. The best are like the people who are like, they're hilarious to us, but they don't, they're not trying to be funny. They're just doing their life. Yeah.

That's the way to, that's the best way to put it. Like, Ken, you are fucking comedian. You don't even know it. You don't even have to try. Like, the way you're sitting right now, it's funny. And I wish that, you know, people could see it back here. But I just wish that the subscribers would appreciate Ken as much as we appreciate them. Because I know, actually, I'd say like it's like a half-half thing, but it still makes me kind of mad when people are like talking shit.

Some people just don't get it. They just don't get it. They think that he's a cranky man all the time and that's just not true. Only parley. I mean, what would you guys do if you had to make YouTube videos with Ben? But no, that's not the case. And he is genuinely very funny. So funny.

So entertaining. You guys wouldn't know who this is, but we got a buddy named Slick Rick. Oh, dude, I was literally going to say, like Slickrigg, hilarious. Hilarious. So funny. He's got a nickname. And every time we go, dude, slick, you got to come over, bro, and film with us. You're so funny.

The world would love you. I don't know about that. I don't know how the wife would feel about that. I'm not trying to stand behind the camera with you guys, but I'm not, I don't want to be in front of it. He's like the most Minnesotan guy ever with his freaking. fur coat i'd love to get slick and slim together i think that'd be pretty good amazing a great club two similar names too even yeah seriously so we've been talking about this basically since we went to florida but i've been saying it for a long time yeah you haven't saying it for a long time

i think we're ready to buy some land or something somewhere else and uh like commute back and forth you know maybe a week here three weeks there during the winter or two weeks here two weeks there in the winter just like somewhere warm just switch things up i mean we wouldn't like stop doing you know winter winter winter content or anything like that because i think you know obviously a large majority of our fan bases from the midwest and that's they they love that we do that like change with the seasons like you and i do too it changes the content you wouldn't feel like you wouldn't feel deprived of We would just open us up to more. It would give us more possibilities because oftentimes, I mean, when we get into the dead of winter, you know, at end of January when it's 30 below. And we like, dude, you can't do much when it's 30 below. Your car barely even starts. You can't go pros die.

Goal pros die. It's so hard on you. It's not really stand outside of film. People aren't excited about it. It's just like, I don't know. It kills the vibe. It kills the vibe. So we've been talking about maybe getting, uh, a piece of land or a compound or something like that in Florida or even Florida I think's the place Florida Texas somewhere somewhere warm but when we went to Florida it was like dude Florida is like our kind of people yeah you know I feel like Florida people and it's like a known thing they just don't give a fuck and there's a lot of there's a lot of YouTubers that come from Florida because you're kind of surrounded by that environment yeah I don't think we would really collab

with many no no it would just be we'd just be doing our same thing except it would be like summer you know how dope would it be to be here filming a snowmobile video and then we go to the other compound in florida and we can film uh a video that we would do in the summer except it's December you know because it's like i might have an idea or whoever has an idea and they're like oh like this would be a great idea we should do this well we got to wait because of the weather you know and it's like all right so we got wait six months and or in a sense it like closes your mindset because we don't come up with video ideas to do in the summer in the winter yeah I would be we we couldn't do them dude so

when we went to our florida video it's titled the thousand horsepower razor would which has like ken's racing it us going to florida the vibes are just high it was just fun because like it was just we were just it was easy to like be outside and like you know it was fresh it was refreshing that's love it well that's why it'd be I from a personal opinion I I think it'd be hard to say, like, wouldn't do much collabing because that whole video was like a collab. I mean, no, I'm not saying that. It's not like we're moving to collab. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

That was my point. Yeah, definitely. But Florida would be sick. I love, CJ has been saying this for a long time. Obviously, none of us are like, that would be, like, lame. I guess, like, I've always agreed, too. I just wasn't gung-ho about it. My favorite thing was when Ben, as soon as Ben got sick, like, right in the thickness of your sick, right in the thickness of your, right in the thickness of your, right in the thickness of your,

your sickness you were like screw this let's buy land wherever sell i don't care so Mexico texas yeah no actually though yeah it kind of all just hit me at once dude i used to be that kid that when i was growing up i this was like my place and i don't ever want to leave it and granted i still love it here but i think we've gotten to a point where we've seen so many different places when i come back here and i and i can see the environment that I was, like, raised in now that I live in, it's not as enticing and it's not as exciting to me as it used to be because now I'm old enough to know that I don't want to be stuck here for the rest of my life, surrounded with these people.

And granted, a lot of the locals are our friends and they're good to hang out with and we have, like, you know, a lot of great people around us. But there's also a lot of people that just, they just suck and they're just drained they just drain the life out of you and you see it especially when everyone leaves for the summer and it's just like you and the locals here in the winter and you go out to the same bars every single day and you see the same people and it's just like I know now that I don't want to be a local like I don't like you know what I'm saying though is like dude we have like three places to go to eat I mean I would say I mean

I understand what you're saying. I would say I'm on the opposite page. I love it here, dude. Like, I love, I'm proud to be a local and, like, be the lakes. You know, this, I think this is the greatest place to be in the summer, the fall. But I just think for content purposes and whatnot, it just would open us up to doing more things. Yeah, but it's like, yeah, but we're also not, if we're just staying here, I don't think we're, like, evolving or changing. No, I'm not, I'm not saying we stay here.

I think that I just, I'm just disagreeing on saying that you're not proud to be a local. I'm not saying I'm not proud to be a local. I'm just saying I don't want to be, I don't want to be a local for the next, you know, 70 years of my life just living here, just living here, seeing the exact same people going to the same places. Right. Every single day. Like, I don't know.

I feel like there's so much more to life than that. Yeah. Now that we're like in the position that we are. that like it's it makes sense to go somewhere else or like experience more i don't know i think just having more more options you know just not being here all the time and i walked into the bar the other day and i was we were talking about we were like yeah if we got like a place you know spend a week there come back or travel or do things like that and this lady over one of the local ladies overheard me saying that and she turned around she goes you're so full of shit

like just like dreaming like like like like right i mean dreaming bigger than than cormrott i think what you're saying and and the locals like a lot of them they just are like why would you do that well i'm i'm just i'm i'm just trying to say i agree with you on that like there is certain people but there is certain people that just are are like that everywhere but they have like there's a i wouldn't say a lot of them i'd just say there's certain people around that uh have smaller mindsets So you're just trying to get out of that small town mindset Is what you're saying But you don't have that

You're not stuck in a small town Like you don't have that small town mindset No I don't But I also don't want to be I don't want to be Constantly Surrounded by that I agree

I just didn't want you I guess I was just saying I don't agree with like The not proud to be a local part And I like a lot of the people Well I do too I know I like a lot of the people too Obviously

but then there's mostly just like the older crowd and shit and it's like you see that and I just know that I don't want that I'm just trying to defend you because I don't want this to come off the wrong way maybe 2% of people but everywhere you go Ben there's going to be people that you don't like but yeah I just didn't want to come off that way I'm not saying it's I'm not saying it's like our friends like obviously like the guys that we go out and we talk to at the bars and shit it's more along lines of like everyone. one else. Well, you get that everywhere. You could literally be in... I'm not saying that's why. I'm not saying the people are why. Well, that's what you just said. You did say that.

That's why I'm disagreeing with you. Yeah, yeah. Because I like the people around here. All of them? I mean, I don't have a problem with any of them. I like them all, I'd say. I don't either. No, it's just like there's the few.

I remember it, for example. You just don't like the haters. Smaller scale, like when I left, when I was done car detailing, most of them are they're happy they're like cool you know we'll still we'll see you around and then you get a few that are like really going to a new job and like they were so butt hurt that i was like quitting i'm like i don't like it here just as much as you don't like it here and so it's like it's maybe those people so what you're saying is you don't like you just are trying to avoid people with small mindsets yeah i don't even know if i would i wouldn't even say i wouldn't put a

title on it oh i think that comes down to two like think your parents have lived here for a long time um my parents you don't see your parents or my parents at the bar every night we go out to eat because it's like our escape we get here at well and we don't cook and we don't like to cook but like we get here at eight to nine p.m. we work till eight and then we rush to the nearest restaurant before the kitchen closes because there's no one here in the kitchen closes early and we eat at one of those few places so that's where you catch those people that are going to go, you know, they say those type of things because they might be a bit unhappy. But there's tons of people around here that have wildly

successful businesses and wildly successful things that they do and are, you know, quality people. But sometimes you just don't always see those people, which is what I feel like you run into everywhere. You can go to Florida and you could be right off the beach or, you know, and one of the highest. There's just negative people everywhere. Yeah, you're going to run into some lady and you're talking about how you want to buy a house. Start a new business. And she got, oh, no, that's, that's dumb. Like, I feel like you run into people like that everywhere.

I agree with that. I think cutting negative people out of your life is, like, a big thing. Like, I just don't fuck with negative people, you know. Yeah, I like positivity. And, uh, yeah. Even if they're not necessarily in your life. What has been? I'm saying, like, there's a lot of these people are.

hardly acquaintances some of the you know some of the small minded people around us i just uh i'd say that we'd be like part-time snowboard birds would be what what i would call us like we leave when there's uh in the winter when it's not uh it's necessarily a great time to be outside because we film outside and then we go to florida because it's a great place to be outside and it's also a lot of fun florida's got a lot of new stuff and different stuff that we can do to new videos new video ideas what has been nice for me to see out of you been because you know we've been friends for some years and and i've been fortunate to do quite a bit of traveling with my dad to florida and and seeing things and i was always like oh i just you know i'm excited to go places and every time

you were always most excited to come home which i can appreciate but now that we've started going to some places that really like are cool say uh utah or florida or even We were kind of all the jury's out on California. But, I mean, you know, different places like that where you go, man, I really like these places for what they're worth. It's been cool to see you grow and be like, you know what? Maybe Big Cormon isn't the only lake I can live on. Maybe I could live on stuff like that.

That is very true. I used to always be equally excited to come home, like halfway through the trip as I was to go there, which is good. Don't get me wrong. I still love it here. I'm just, I'm just to a point where I know that this isn't the only place in the world that we could thrive and be happy. Are you happy?

And yeah, I don't know, dude. It's just like we're in such a, we're in such an interesting position to be able to do this, to be able to even talk about buying a piece of, property or a house or something like that in Florida right now at the age we are and things like that and mostly like the work that we can do like most people when they do that like they just have to retire and then they do that whereas we can like we can our business our business will only get better and bigger and more entertaining if we do that yeah it'd be a nice element to the videos you know yeah and before before I honestly just didn't have the mindset to

want to even right to want to even accept that because I thought it was, you know, just outlandish and this was the best place in the world. Yeah. And we were like a little bit of a prideful, stay true to your brand thing. I don't know. I'm still staying true. No, no, no. I guess we were, the whole reason we never entertained the idea more was because we were just like, you know, we weren't worried that our content would go to complete shit.

But we were like, no, we got to, come on is where we make our best content, blah, blah, blah. But, no, you're right. I think, and the best part about it is now. is a better time than any. I think we can make it everywhere. Yeah, that's the way to say. Not California. Just not California.

We did not like California. I'll say it again, though. I loved California. I also agree that we couldn't make it in California. Mike, that's because you like Joe Biden. Just kidding, just kidding. Does he live in California? Yeah?

No, it's just his favorite state. Everyone there loves them. Gas has reached $4.50 a gallon. Do you ever think that would happen? The only thing that I will say is none of us. us ever want to leave here in the summer. No, we could never beat it. Someone could be like, hey, like, come to freaking goodbye.

We're like, oh, sorry, it's, uh, it's July. It's July. Dude, you just can't. It can't beat it. I've never understood when people take vacations during the summer months when you live here. It's like, why? This is the place to vacation too. Yeah.

But you want to know something that is nice, though, Ben, about like the small town and, and everything is just like, we walk in. Everyone knows your name. It sounds like that that sitcom from the 90s. Everyone knows your name. I don't know. What show is that? What show is that?

Cheers? Yeah, you wouldn't know. But it's like, where everyone knows your name? I'm terrible seeing. But anyways, calm down below if you know what that is. It's just nice walking in. Everyone knows your name. And hi, you know everyone on a first name basis.

It's just, I don't know. There is a nice community in that. And I really like that. that but yeah i agree i think just florida is gonna really open up our playbook so florida then florida i think unless you know mike you want to go to cali no no no no i don't want to listen mike you can go to cali can't go to antarctica we'll all go to florida well we still got a fun place so that's true i'm not married to the idea of florida either hawaii it is i am i don't think we can do it in Hawaii i think we could afford Hawaii Florida's got cheap flights screw that yeah

land is like in excess people don't seem to give a fuck around there just like here um it's nice also they don't have taxes um it wouldn't affect us but yeah true but uh i don't know i feel like florida's our best spot where else would you think i don't know i don't know the best thing is like i would consider myself open for the first time ever i feel like this one just exploring and finding other places and i don't know yeah well let's keep keep going on around and checking it out. I feel like this wouldn't happen until, like, next fall, though. Yeah, it would be pretty pointless to do it now because, you know, pretty deep into the

thick of it. Yep. And who even, you know, yeah. Who knows? I just wanted to say that because people are like, when are you guys doing this? You know, I didn't want to add. No, no, no, not just adding a little bit of a timeline to it. Just talking about the idea of it.

Yeah. It's definitely became more serious in the last week. Yeah. Which I'm very happy about, but Florida is actually pretty reasonable. price wise yeah yeah especially dude coming from around here i don't know if the rest of the united states is like this but like where we live it's such a like booming market for real estate right now because of the lakes area so it's like dude i i want to buy a house in the next six months i can't find a house for under like 600 000 that's like livable year round yeah you can't even live in it

year round right and um If it's on the lake, yeah. If it's on a lake. Yeah. And, uh, you go to Florida and $600,000 could get you quite a bit. Right now, who knows, who knows, if we wait for a while. You were looking, dude, there's like five acres and, like, decent houses. We'd all just, like, find a house, five rooms.

Maybe, maybe four. And then Ken and Mike would bunk it up, bunk beds. But. Why would we be doing that again? You nodded, you're not in your head, like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to their cousins and sleep together.

No, no. Ben's too gassy for me. Both farting your sleep. Both would be stinking of that room. We'll get installed some special vent fan for you guys and we'll call it a day. You guys have an exhaust fan in your bedroom. It's a backwards air conditioner. So it's taking air from inside the room and pushing it out.

Yeah, yeah, like an exhaust fan. And then the vent goes into Ken's room. That would suck so bad. And you guys make it like ass level Okay then I'm down with bunk and with Ben We have a vent system that vents in the Ken's room That'd be fucking hilarious Can't sit back there shaking his head

Mike that's your room too I don't know I wouldn't be sharing a room anymore No you can still sit together You're still buffets We're getting a three bedroom And then you're going to be race car Buckets Ooh

Yeah we do that It's a deal Well that's fun Yeah, that was good time. I think we're, I think we're good on today. We got to go film this video. Oh, yeah. We get to go film this video, which is going to be fun.
