This might actually be the best invention I have ever seen.
I don't say ever, but go on.
Ever?
Snowplow, but for your hitch, and you're just drive in reverse.
And the person doing it right now is in a Ford, like, explorer,
and they look kind of goofy.
It does, it does.
But their driveway isn't super big, and it's actually working.
But what is the benefit to having it on the rear
and then having to drive in reverse?
Because you don't.
It's on a Ford Explorer right now.
I can't see this car with a front snow plow,
so it's like making the best of having a hitch.
Yeah.
So no like cutting or installing really needed.
You just pop it in.
That's crazy, actually.
Wow, us Minnesota and Midwesterners are pumped about that.
Man, the future is here and we just had a snow day.
You want to know what I'm pumped about?
Yeah.
Starting a podcast number 58.
Not only that, but getting an official.
Jamie Cam cut to Jamie oh yeah wave to the people a little thumbs up big Ken's got his own mic his own
camera can now that's so fun officially a part of the podcast we've been reading you guys's comments
and uh I mean we've been wanted to do it for a while but the budget was really tight with all the
ads that Ryan was doing so so they finally paid off they finally paid off yeah no we we we put
the money to use and got a mic and a camera finally read enough blue shoe ads yep yeah so
of.
Dude, that scared me.
Ryan was scared.
You want to know what's crazy?
The other day, I was actually just sitting with Ryan.
It was just me and him on the couch.
He tried getting you to take one.
Well, he goes like, hey, and look.
Next thing I know, he's hitting me with an ad.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
No camera and nothing.
Just reading him right to me.
I was like, bro, dude, it's just me and you.
Like, you don't have to do this right now.
You look.
The dude's an autopilot.
That's so funny.
I mean, yeah, look over.
Have you played fishing class yet?
And then you're like, no, why?
And then just full 60 second spiel.
Bro, Ryan, can we be honest here?
Yeah.
So you keep wearing these shirts.
Yeah.
And I know you go out of your way.
No, you don't think they're funny.
That's okay.
Let me finish.
Okay.
I don't understand any of them.
Oh, come on.
Like the last one, the Illinois, like basically.
I have mental Illinois.
That's what it was?
I never even saw that one.
Oh, wow.
Technically, I think you say it's Illinois, but.
Okay, so what is this?
Can we get to read on that?
Every single podcast, Ryan wears a different shirt,
and each shirt is like kind of a meme shirt or is like supposed to be funny.
It's supposed to be.
You would download a crappy JPEG of a monkey,
some dork paid $2 million for.
Oh,
it's a hit on like NFTs and stuff like that.
But this is the font and setup of like in the early 2000s,
mid-2000s when they were trying to say you wouldn't steal like.
There's a pirating DVD.
Yeah, it was for pirating DVDs, and it was basically saying, like, you wouldn't steal a pair of shoes.
And it was like, stealing, copyright infringement is stealing.
And it was just kind of like the whole thing trying to tell the internet that copyright is a thing.
Which everyone took as a total joke.
Yeah, it just turned into a big meme, but apparently not big enough for you to understand it.
I guess I was just too young for it.
Honestly, this one takes a little bit of thought.
I have another one down there that's a dog locked in a car and it says, I love hot dogs.
That's pretty spicy.
That's pretty easy to understand too.
Have you guys ever seen the Spotify show on Netflix?
It's like the start of Spotify, basically.
Well, the show is like basically the whole story of how Spotify started and then where
they are now.
Before Spotify came into the market, it was basically all pirating.
Yeah.
And this guy was like basically just pirating all of his music and stuff.
And he was like, I think there's like a market for this.
And then it just shows like the old music.
Yeah, per legal music.
A market for, like, having songs on your phone at all times or access to, I don't know.
Do you guys remember having to buy songs for like $1.25, like new ones would be $1.25.
Well, they used to be $99 and then they got sent.
No, it was $1.29.
Yeah, but I remember when they added that extra technically 30 cents onto it, as a kid,
I was like, pah, that hurts.
That, that's too much.
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of when you like stop.
That is too much.
And then you had to find alternative ways.
Like lime wire.
You had a resort to stealing.
Yeah.
No, no.
Limewire was long gone.
Yeah, it was a little, really?
I used it a bit.
Like that was long gone prior to them changing the rate of buying a song on Apple music.
But, dude, listening to iTunes or just music in general.
And when you had to pay individually for the song, it was like you would really put a lot of thought into it.
At least I would.
I was like, do I really like this song?
Yeah.
Well, I like this song in a week.
Like, you put a lot of thought.
you're like, 99 cents for the song.
And now things are different.
Debating the best they've ever been,
the most balanced with obviously you pay a subscription.
Do you think it's more lucrative now?
Like the artists are making more money now.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
They have to be.
Because I'm downloading a lot more in 10 songs a month.
And like that'd be technically $10 back in the day of 99 cents songs.
They aren't.
But no, no, there's no way.
They're not making money streaming.
They should be.
where they are, but they used to do CDs prior to that and that had to have been lucrative.
CDs?
Yeah.
CDs records.
Before that, Ben, there was records.
Yep.
Somewhere in between that, there was like, there was tracks and.
I guess with CD sales, you got to buy the whole.
It was like, otherwise you just had to listen to the radio and, and, you know, you hope for that song to come on.
But, I mean, realistically, I would imagine that you're, and they're still probably making a shit ton of money, probably less money today.
don't quote me because I really don't know, but that's what I would imagine.
So back in 1980, artists were making around like $15 billion off of the eight-track vinyl
and cassettes.
Wow.
It goes through a dip up until about the 1990s when cassette comes in and takes it over
and brings it back up.
Then CD kind of starts filling this chart.
And then Napster peaks it in like 1999 at $22.7 billion.
of revenue.
And this is not adjusted for inflation, I don't believe so.
And then after that, it steeply declines to 2015
where streaming starts to pull a little bit of money back,
but they're still not even close to where they were prior.
Dude, so I actually had Napster as a kid prior to having iTunes
because I didn't have an iPod or a Zoom.
So Zoom was Microsoft's version of an iPod.
Zoom?
Zoom.
Zoom.
Zoom.
Zoom.
Zoom.
Oh, it was a Zune?
It's Zoon, like Dune with a Z.
Okay, well, it was a Zoon.
So I didn't have one, so I didn't know how to even pronounce it.
But anyways, I'm pretty sure Napster went with Zune, but you could also use LimeWire,
which was like a pretty iconic illegal downloading website for music.
It was all free, but it would poison your computer with viruses.
Napster wouldn't do that, and it was free.
So you could listen to the music and download.
songs to your computer and all this stuff and even music videos for free but if you wanted to put
them onto your zoom or your iPod or whatever the hell you were going to connect it to then you had
to pay like i think it was 15 bucks a month okay which is quite a bit of money back in like the early
two thousands yeah like it was unlimited it was unlimited so as a kid that didn't have either of them
i would go like i would go skateboard in the morning i remember this as a kid i'd go skateboard out in my
driveway and then I would go downstairs and I would hop on the computer and I would watch
music videos and listen to music and play RuneScape. RuneScape was so lit. That's awesome.
Okay. How were companies like Napster like operating? They got sued. Okay. So it did catch up
to them. So it did. And then I believe that same guy who created Napster teamed up with Mark Zuckerberg
on Facebook. Am I really? I'm not 100% certain. I think they had some kind of run. Maybe we got a double
check that. Ken, is that true?
Kenney? I'm actually looking at something else.
Ken, was the guy that created Napser
and Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook?
Did they have some... There was an interaction. I thought
even in the movie on Mark Zuckerberg, they meet
and I thought they did some kind of business together.
I'm not the person asked. Or does he pass up on? You are the person asked.
You're Jamie, so look it up.
He just asked you. Not to call him Jamie, though.
You're Kenny.
I'll look it up.
My mom listens to this podcast, unfortunately, and she's going to actually probably call me immediately and freak out at this.
I was going to tell that story.
That's really funny.
No, this is a different story.
Up until November.
Like, you've only been a part of the family for a couple months, buddy.
You can't just be hopping on Ryan's stories like this.
This is a story about Ryan.
It's been going on for years.
It's not even a story.
Basically, I just remember when Ryan was like, dude, I've been like been charging 10 bucks a month to my mom's Napster.
For Napster.
For like three, four, five years.
The most recent.
It has to be a lot more than five years, bro.
$19.99 a month, every month.
And the last one that I have on my phone is 2020.
But they've been coming through more than that.
Can't figure out it to cancel it.
You go on your bill?
Yeah.
You go on your bill and it's like not there.
And then we go, can we cancel this?
And then every week or every month we'd get a test.
It's like on your phone.
Napster.
I'm pretty sure the guy was a con artist, man.
Some guy probably somewhere is just like picked up that bank account number and is just getting to my 10 bucks a month.
You've had that since you're in high school.
Yeah.
So is it still going?
It's still going?
No, it looks like it ended last year.
Wow.
Man, Napster fell off though.
When do you think you started that?
Let's just say it was going for at least 10 to 15 years.
I would say, no, I mean, probably when I was like 14.
So I'd say, yeah, good like seven years of Napster.
And I don't remember using it really ever.
that's insane so I still I mean they clearly were getting their monthly rate but like I don't get how they like that was the peak of paying music artists yeah like Napster did pay to people though I guess they must that seems like Napster came that chart looks like Napster came in and then took it all down yeah because I think a lot of the artists sued him because they were like you stole our music and gave away for free or after this is it this is in present tense but Napster pays an average of 1.9 cents per stream
Shit, figure out what it is now.
I bet you 1.9.
So that's what they were making.
Dated February 22.
I don't think they were paying them for how much is a stream per Spotify.
That's, I feel like it's got to be way less than a penny.
Yeah.
Napster was giving it to them good, dude.
Even if they're paying $10 a month at $1.9 a song, how do they still make money?
That's what I'm saying is like how does Apple iTunes make money?
Because I'm downloading like 100 songs a month and I'm paying $7.99.
I'm sure it's just like anything.
Like you probably lose money on the people that download a bunch
and then you make money on the people.
Like the average consumption of music,
you're probably not downloading that much music.
So you're still like downloading it to your phone.
Or it's just worth it to keep up with the other brands or sites or apps.
It isn't.
And then you keep people buying iPhones, whatever.
But I'm saying, think about it, dude.
If they were paying one cent,
and think how many streams did like little baby have this year he had you know like 20 billion
streams do the math on that that's still what like a couple hundred million dollars off
of just streaming yeah or it's their stock price like when Spotify picked up Joe Rogan's
podcast for a hundred million dollars their stock price went up don't quote me on this but
I think it was like two billion dollars worth like like their overall worth so it maybe
it's just that, like where they, it's kind of a wash on the actual streaming side of things.
I bet they're still making money on the streaming. This, this website's actually saying Napster pays the most
out of all the platforms. It says they pay. They're just working to get back to. 16 dollars and 82 cents per
thousand streams. $16 CPM per thousand streams. Apple music pays 783. Spotify is we start
uploading our videos to Napster. NAPster. 60 cents.
YouTube is 60 cents per thousand views
I guess
dang 16 bucks per thousand views
and if you had a song
keep in mind it'd have to blow up on
freaking Napster
16 bucks
what up guys go listen to this podcast
on Napster
Napster a hell of a plug there
Ryan you just gave me PTSD
I thought you're going in an advertising
I put on my podcast
it sounded just like I was like
what the hell is there an ad placed
within my headphones
we're about running up to that point

Hey, so what did you want to talk about?
Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi.
Yeah, Wagovi.
What about it?
On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you.
Oh, you're not?
No, just ask your doctor about Wagoe.
Yeah, ask for it by name.

Ryan starts running ads in our headphones.
This is just like, I mean, I know we don't really care too much about this,
but Megan the Stallion just came out and said that basically that Tori Lane shot at her,
which is, this happened in like 2020, but it blew my mind.
He basically, like, they came home from the club
And, because Megan the Stallion's a pretty big deal.
No, no, no, I think he shot her in her foot.
He shot her foot.
There were bullet fragments in her foot.
That means there was, there's no bullet holes in her foot.
There's a big difference.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's still bad.
They got home from the club and, like, she was, like, insulting him
and wanted him, like, open the door up and, you know,
maybe being a bitch.
And then just, and then, but then he just, like, you know, goes crazy.
No, and just said dance, bitch.
and shot five times and yeah he said dance bitch and then like insane and then he apparently
he paid her a million dollars or offered her a million dollars to not say anything i think in
the latest drake song he says something about magda stallion like capon what's the line exactly
drake wraps this bitch lie about getting shots but she's still a stallion
Wow. Drink is so weird.
He's so awesome, but...
Did you see his thing that he bought a diamond necklace
that has like 42 engagement diamonds?
And it's for the 42 times he wanted to propose.
42 times?
Yeah, it seems oddly specific.
Just oddly high.
He kept track all that?
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.
You think after 10, you'd be like, yeah, you know, I was...
I felt like I was in love, but it just...
And bought different rings every single time.
I think he probably just wanted a really,
expensive necklace. Yeah, and wanted some reasoning behind it. Wanted a good story so people
would talk about it. Makes a little bit more sense. You guys think Drake is overhyped. I think that
his songs are slightly, at least for my taste in music, they're a little slow and like kind of
just too like lovey-dovey and just a little bit soft. Like you're trying to get in your feels
almost, which I don't really want to do. But I do think that he's a legend in the fact that
everyone else loves them and clearly, I think he's like got to be one of the highest earning artists.
Have you guys seen Drake's plane?
I was just going to bring that up.
It's a charter like full on 747 Boeing.
Yeah, commercial plane for like 300 passengers probably.
Outfitted into a personal jet.
And I was going to bring it up because now he's not,
he was the only musical artist to have a plane that side.
I'm pretty sure they gave it to him.
Yeah, I think Boeing gave that to him, which at the time I remember when I saw that,
I was like, man, why would they do that?
But now every time I think.
I think of Blake, Drake.
Don't even remember his name.
Blake.
Now, every time I think of Drake, I'm like, man, I know that he's, like, big deal.
But then I think of his plane.
I'm like, who else just gets gifted a Boeing 747 that isn't, like, the greatest of all times in the eyes of, like, the masses?
Because nobody else has that.
Nobody else has been gifted something like that.
So maybe it's just, like, me conforming to the rest of society.
thinking that way, but I'm like, yeah, no, he is probably a goat because of that.
It was a gift from the Canadian air cargo carrier cargo jet.
It was used.
That's pretty cool.
It's like $100 million.
It's a $7.60s.
They just gave it to him.
Yeah, I forgot that it was a gift.
That's insane.
Because I was just going to say, DJ Cal had just posted a video of him like plane shopping
for basically the same size plane as Drake.
I'm like, yeah, that's, now someone else did it.
However, he's got to buy that shit.
Dude, I saw that video and I thought to myself,
and I'm not even throwing shade,
that plane has to cost so much money.
So much freaking money.
How does he have money to pay for that
on top of all the other useless shit he's probably paying for?
If there's anybody who's got streaming money,
it's got to be DJ Cald because he's just like,
slap the DJ Caled on that.
Slapped the DJ Caled on that.
When I saw that, all I'm saying is I was like, wow.
I had no idea these guys were making this type.
of money yeah because like that kind of money is ridiculous to buy the jet like let's let's say that
that jet is a hundred million it's a fuck ton of money yeah you got to pay to maintain it store it
fuel it fly it you got to have people to fly it yeah like it means just that would be a nightmare
in my opinion i guess it just goes back to man these guys got to be making so much money where
it's so easy to justify it because yeah it's a headache but like when they got that much money
It ain't a headache.
They got people for it.
I guess that's true.
I think there is something to be said about like DJ Cal, it's probably like,
I'm the greatest producer of all time.
I ain't renting shit.
I need myself a hundred million dollar jet.
True.
Dude, so speaking of planes and also renting stuff, like we got hit up by this.
I saw this.
I heard you talking about it too Ryan.
Just some dude that was like, hey, I don't know if he owns it or works for it,
but this yacht chartering company basically like renting yachts.
and went to the page and looked.
They have 114 pages of rentable yachts and sailboats,
and there's 24 on each page,
so they have like almost 3,000 yachts around the world that you can rent.
So what do you say to us?
Got to get you guys in for seven days.
And, I mean, I'm sure we're-
Like for free or we're paying?
I don't know.
Probably not for free.
Okay.
Look at the top result.
They sort by most expensive to least expensive.
This is assuming for seven days.
I think they're all kind of just around what's it going to cost
which I already know I have no interest at 945,000 dollars so basically almost a million
Ryan ain't paying for that right your ads Ryan and they ain't paying for a even 1% of it
so who is paying for that minute on that fucking boat yeah yeah yeah exactly not even a minute
we can look at it maybe then that one just that one doesn't even look real like you look at it
and it looks like just it doesn't look real so this dude
just hit us up and it's like, hey, do you want to basically pay to use my service?
I can read you the email.
It's pretty short-lived and boring, but...
Go to the 114th page, and then that's probably more of what the ones that...
It's a pontoon.
A 21-foot pontoon.
It's actually not nearly as bad as you'd think, but I went all the way to the last page
and then look for the cheapest one.
It's $1,350 for assuming seven days, and it's a zingy.
$1,300 for seven days.
It's a Lund fishing boat.
it's with a 90 horse on the back it's like a two uh like a two little bedroom like little
mini yacht yeah i was like for 1350 bucks mini yacht hold up pull up the photo pull up the photo
a mini yacht it does all say okay a pontoon oh so then the fishing house on it but that's what
i was wondering mini yacht it's a houseboat on a pontoon dude evan and i had a great idea
when we were searching up houseboats i was curious do we want to i was just about
to actually say this. Do we want to spoil it? Because some people like to steal our ideas.
You can't steal it because it's ours. Okay. Well, Evan and I were talking about how expensive it is.
Why is leaving me out? I was a part of this too. Evan and I and C.J. were talking about how expensive
it is to live around here. Yeah. And Evan said, I should just get like a houseboat type of deal and I
could park that out in front of the boys's house. Brilliant. And then live on it. I love that.
Genius. And I was like, yeah, well, sandbar, you could move around. It'd be lit. It'd be great. And then
he brought up a couple stories of ones he'd seen up on bigger lakes all that and he goes you know what
we could we could build one for here and then what did you say you go well we could just buy a skid fish
house and drag it on and then you could live in that right on a flat pontoon just two barrels and I said
what about one better you take an RV or like a toable RV and you back it onto the pontoon
you build a little deck around it so then from the water you got a houseboat right this is brilliant
Yeah, and then you...
This is brilliant.
I can't believe you guys came up with this.
You peter on over to the shore.
No, no offense.
You peter on over to the shore, and then you put it up, back the truck down, hook up, go out into the woods for the weekend.
It's Sunday comes around, back right on, you're back on the lake.
Is that legal?
Maybe.
Yeah, what if all you get to do is just...
The register is a pontoon.
Yeah, both the tires down are, like, strapped the tires to the pond.
Yeah, it's all part of it.
So, I guess my...
Sounds tippy.
Yeah, it does.
sound a little tippy, but it does sound pretty
lit, being right at the sandbar, you're all
doing whatever you do there.
You may be a little bit, you're a little bit
trashed, and then you're like, I can't
go home, I'm going to sleep right there
within your own house.
Or we're going to park it, we go and park it
right on the pond on the track. Evan lives on the
motocross track on the water.
That doesn't sound the 360 water property.
We start taxing Evan.
Do I really think we're going
to put a trailer home on a pontoon
and have Evan live in it?
Yes.
But what I did have an idea for was that we should do like a 24-hour or maybe 48-hour
houseboat challenge.
So we either rent one or we go somewhere that has one.
And we go and park that bitch out on the water.
Middle of summer.
And it's all of us.
And I'm sure one of us will leave because they will be so goddamn mad by the end of 10 hours of it.
That actually kind of sounds nice.
It'd be like the igloo challenge.
It'd be like the igloo challenge,
which no one actually pulled on that.
But the perfect transition.
Well, but to date, that was my one of my least favorite.
Actually, no, that was my least favorite video we've ever filmed and made the 24-hour
Igloo Challenge.
I think that to do it properly, that kind of idea, you'd have to do it on like straight
up the smallest boat possible.
Oh, yeah.
Like, whatever.
Make the suck.
I want room to like bring the pinball machine with.
I don't doubt that for a second.
I know that you guys couldn't.
bear to leave that. I think it would be awesome.
How about we don't try to make it to this
big suffering thing? How about we just go out and have a good
time? But then it's like what do we
put the time limit at? Is it like 48
hours shit? If we're having good
time, why do you got to leave?
We're having fun. Why are you leaving?
A girlfriend's are like, the video
was over four days ago.
We're just trying to challenge ourselves.
We're tubing.
Yeah, if it had like, you know,
if it was like a yacht and has jet skis
hanging off the side and shit, like
I mean, that would be considered leaving.
I'm not going to lie, man.
This thing is going to be far from a yacht.
Far from a yacht.
If we have a small window air for air conditioner,
we're going to be living very large.
The video is tied with like surviving 72 hours on a boat.
And then the boat is like freaking,
it's got jet ski strapped to it.
And it's got like a full living bar and bedroom.
Like a whole staff.
Yeah.
Oh, this is terrible.
I want to get off.
Count down the time.
You want to know something, Ben?
You said that the 24 hours in the igloo was the worst video that we filmed to date.
For one, I thought that was a lot of fun.
And for two, you want to know, I mean, this is a pretty bold statement because I'd really
have to look through the probably 400 videos.
I don't even know where we're at.
But this R6 quad swap that we're currently working on that we weren't even able to drop
this week because everything has been such a headache.
This is actually my least favorite video.
As of right now, I know we're probably
a third through it is my
least favorite video we've made.
I was about to say the same thing.
Bro, I've been not having fun.
Are the worst two videos
that I think we've ever made in our YouTube career.
It's not our worst video.
I say worst time making.
Worst time making.
It's going to be a legendary video when it's done.
But it's like we've just spent so much time,
you know, we're all kind of sitting around
trying to figure out like how to,
oh, how do we make this work, whatever.
And it's just so much time
to ultimately be,
cut down into probably like we we spent five days filming so far and we probably have four minutes
of a video just due to like the slow process of building this thing and it has been extremely
boring I told Alex she she asked me how my day was I said it was boring she asked me how
my day was again the next day I said it was boring and honestly I have not had a boring day
in a very very I don't even I don't know if I have had a boring day in six seven years
Like straight up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I know what you're saying.
When I think back to filming that video,
just like the different emotions that I got from it weren't like I'm bored or like this sucks.
Like I was anxious and I'm not an anxious person.
Very rarely do I like tweak on something.
But the fact of like being underneath that much snow and like on the lake and the on ice.
was a nice new twist but there was just like parts to it where it was like evoking new emotions
out of myself that I didn't even know existed and I was like I just want this to be over I I'm like
thinking of the worst possible options and like I'm in such a negative headspace you were I was just
like and I hate I hate being like that person or having that like mentality on something I was just
like I just need to like start over this is just not good
I need to get out of this place
and we couldn't and that's like
Well you could have laughed
I could have but like that wouldn't have been good
And car would have got wrapped pink
Right and it still did
Which is ridiculous
Still so stupid
But dude I have so much respect
For creators that do these challenges
For like 48 hours or 50 hours
Just to like meet the title
And thumbnail to like make it look good
Most of them aren't like life risking though
Like, I will say, if things did go wrong in the igloo, it would have been bad.
I felt like that igloo challenge was like kind of like life risking.
That was, but most other YouTubers don't have life risking challenges.
Right.
And the whole time, I just thought this is not worth it.
And it's a waste of our, like, waste of our time, but mostly like, I hate that we're even risking this.
Because like, the igloo could have collapsed pretty much at any given point.
It would have been bad.
It would have been really bad.
But it didn't.
You're right.
It stayed up for another week or two even.
We drove a fucking razor on top.
Afterwards, we knew that.
But like in the time, I was like, this is so stupid.
Like, just for like a short-term gain.
I don't know.
That's just kind of like my mentality in the moment.
So that's why I look back at it and think, like, the suck wasn't worth it.
I can respect your mentality of not looking for a short-term gain
because I'm the same way
I'm all about just
like this
YouTube game
or whatever else
kind of career you're doing
is a marathon
not a sprint
and I feel that
and I think about that
every day when we're planning
and just navigating our path
but I didn't feel that way
in that moment
yeah I was thinking like
if this shit fell
right now it'd be really bad
but I felt pretty comfortable in there
and it was a little scary
and I was cold
but for the most part
it was exhilarate
and I like the camaraderie of it.
And I thought it was really fun.
I honestly had a good time.
I would do it again,
but I just know there's really no point in doing it again
because it's like we can't make a video doing it again
and do it better because that was like top of the line.
We had a fucking Nintendo Switch, a keg.
We had a bar.
We had steak.
It was pretty awesome.
It was legendary, man.
It was legendary.
It was such a fun time.
That's why I like.
It was all built by us.
Yeah, that was sick too.
That's why I love the idea you just had with the houseboat.
thing because it's like we can't do the igloo again like we could make it bigger and better
and stronger but it's like what's the transition and i love that so how do you feel about
instead of being freezing being very very hot i can deal with that and mosquitoes mosquitoes
big bugs and possibly the boat sinking i can always put on a life jacket
you're a life jacket for like 48 hours i would dude some of those things honestly like some
things that we do actually kind of tweak me out where like I reflect back on I'm like man
I was pretty tweaked out on that thank God nothing went wrong but like I tried to play it
cool and then afterwards I was yeah we've talked about that before where it's like certain things
trip Ryan out that don't trip you out certain things don't trip Evan out that trip me out and
and just like it's so funny because we always go dude are you seriously tripping out about
this right now and you do this
you're tripping about this and you do that
I'd agree with that
I think it's how much time I have to like really think about it
I feel like the amount of time that you're immersed
in the stress is what gets to you
you can deal with like the little bursts of it
but if it's just like a constant looming thing
then that's when like being stuck in an igloo
stuff like that that's what gets to you
yeah Evans is really random he'll like
drive a spiked R6
100 miles an hour lay the thing down
rev limit do a wheelie but
like if the gas tank doesn't have the right thread bolt in it he's like this is ridiculous
he does his little throw him up but it's just that's that's what it goes i have things that
stress me out for no reason and i to go back on that would say that making these videos
has been the worst for me because i get stressed about one not feeling like we're all
utilizing our time and two being worried that it's not going to get done
and then three that when it gets done it's not going to work and all those things add up to me
and then come out in a negative way i'd say very well said it's like those emotions come out when
you have to worry about okay the time frame of it getting done and then like when you're looking
on your phone kind of like you're googling shit then you like i don't even know on instagram yeah
like no actually like that happens but also like and then maybe there's too many hands in the kitchen
at the time and and you're just like sitting there staring at it
and nothing's getting solved.
That is where...
That's what just gets like gets you all worked.
It gets me all worked up.
Yeah.
It's so stressful.
Dude, when we have off time though,
man,
I'd love just doing nothing.
Like just chilling.
Which is nice to see you come around to because there was many years.
I remember we would not like if we were just chilling like maybe a year and a half ago,
you would like stress out.
You'd be like,
we should be doing something.
There's something we could be doing around.
I'm like, dude, it's okay.
To be fair, we should have been doing something.
probably you're we should have been doing something but you can't always do something but on like a sunday
when me and greta are just chilling and she's like let's do this let's do this let's do that let's go for
a walk or like uh go and work out i'm like no no no i've been doing things no i don't want to do that
i don't want to do any of that i want to i want to chill shit now that you said that i think of the
opposite it's like still really yeah you've always just had a while yeah like a lot of energy
like a like on a sunday i'm like yeah what can we do what is there something
to do there's got to be something to do but I still like to chill I see you are a ball of energy Mike
you're up early in the morning one of those going at it two of those might have been lies no I feel the
same way then with the laundering I feel so bad because like I'll get home from a day here and I've
spent all day talking with you guys my best friends love it it's great but I spent all day talking
and doing things you know being in the car driving being outside I'm like active
and socially active and then I get home and I'm like I cannot wait to just watch TV and just
unwind a little bit but she's been cooped up working at home all day the only social interaction
she gets is with like her co-workers on Zoom and then I'm just like she's like hey how was your day
and I'm just like completely burnt out and I feel really bad I feel like that's a hard thing for
people who live different lifestyles you know yeah I think both sides are very relatable it's like a tough
balance.
Yeah, totally switching things up.
We've been thinking about going into the new year and changing things up around
the podcast studio here, like doing something different, either with the desk or completely
getting rid of the desk.
We're thinking about just going with couches, just like kind of making the environment,
the podcast studio, just like a little bit more chill.
Yeah, a little bit like more open and free, less like desky and set up.
but also more spread out
where Evan's sitting on the couch right now
which you guys can't see if you're watching on YouTube
he would be on camera in a sense
I'd be like very
I kind of like the spread outness
but obviously we haven't made our mind up yet
but we are going to be changing the set
I don't know what we're going to do with this sweet
like table that we had made
it's really cool but we definitely got our use worth
57 podcast 58
I wouldn't be mad about sitting on a couch while talking to you guys
this is great but if I can like
lean back yeah i think the thing about the podcast table is it is nice but it does feel like a little
i don't want to say formal but if it's in more of like a relaxed yeah setting like it might be
a little bit more like flowing and easy going almost and like less intimidating if we have like
guests or or like our friends just sit down just because like being up in minnesota as you guys
have seen like there's very few guests that we can have on here just because like the lack of
people to come on but we're like we have so many friends that have like interesting stories or just
honestly shoot the shit with us or funny that we're like dude you should come on our podcast and
let's just have a good time and like chop it up and then they sit down and it's like feels formal
yeah it feels you got the lights you got the cameras and uh it it's harder to have a conversation
versus just sitting on the couch or sitting down in the shop just shooting the shit so we're trying
to think of like how do we you know continue to make these programs but bring on just like our
friends to just have conversations with yeah it's just like what we were so before this we're sitting
down eating and me ben Evan and our boy fast where's downstairs and we were having this
this really funny awesome conversation we're like damn this would have been great on the podcast
but like you don't ever get into some sometimes you don't get into those either way we need more
cameras around the room you know like what do you think jamie
oh can't even be mad at the guy can't even be mad at the guy
Jamie
I got a couple more months of weeks of exclusivity
James
you actually can't have bushland I think technically online I am supposed to be
just drinking course well good for you
I got you drink course every day I do
the only thing you drink is course you don't drink water milk
pop nothing
My favorite, the small call out here was because it just cracked me up.
When you reach it in the fridge, you grabbed a Mountain Dew,
then you kept the door open with your forearm, grabbed a Coors,
looked at them both, put the Mountain Dew back.
It's time.
They both looked good.
You know, want to know the actual thing that was going on in my head is I recently started
drinking Apple Crown and Mountain Dews.
And I was like, I'm going to mix up an Apple Crown and Mountain Dew.
And then I was like, that might be a little extreme for right now.
So then I grabbed a beer instead.
It's a lot of sugar.
There's a lot of sugar.
You know, it is funny, though.
I will say with going back to the podcast, the amount of people that listen to it
that are actually like, you know, associates of us or acquaintances is alarming.
Like, I'll go places and now they'll be like, yeah, like, you know, your guys is issue
with the mechanic like did you ever get that solved i'm like uh did i tell you about this did you
like oh you know on the last podcast i'm like you listen to the podcast and they're like yeah yeah
listen to everyone i'm like oh my okay oh my i got straighten up on there i did that relationship uh
greta's mom listened to i don't know if it was a couple of them but the my dad podcast oh
and i was just thinking back like oh man we're good in that one
Don't go back any further.
Yeah.
So the other day,
Greta's brother got held at gunpoint and robbed in the cities.
What?
Yeah.
Jesus.
Yeah, dude, on the U of M campus.
Oh, her little brother.
That is not cool.
No.
I was hoping you were going to say, like, in Mexico or something like.
No, dude.
In Minneapolis.
Our guns last scary in Mexico?
He's gone to shit.
No, but it's a lot more likely to happen.
I don't know.
Maybe not.
Anyway.
Yeah, he was walking into his frat house, just like literally behind the house.
It was the other frat, wasn't it?
No.
Oh.
And, yeah.
Some guy was like, I hope I'm not like out of them or like they're upset that I'm
like telling the story.
I just think it's like crazy and it kind of just shows like where everything has kind of
gone to shit.
But especially, you know, close to us.
it didn't feel like Minnesota would like be like this but yeah he uh was like walking to his frat
house and this guy put down his window and was like come here and you know what do you do
when you're in an alley it was like a short like a tiny little alleyway and uh he like goes up to
the window and the guy pulls out a gun pointed at him and he's like give me your phone in your wallet
makes him open up his phone give the code and then go in
iCloud and delete his iCloud so like the phone is intractable and then he couldn't remember the
code so he like had him tell him like five times it was like i'm gonna sell the phone like i need to know
the code and then thankfully let him go yeah who knew that for getting your i cloud password which
happens every time would come in handy so did you not take his phone no he took his phone oh
he took his phone he took his wallet took everything oh i thought he gave it back his phone back to him
because he couldn't figure out the code no no no the guy couldn't
remember his phone code oh he asked him like five times what a fucking idiot it's got to be on top of
this type of stuff you're doing armed robbery in an alley something tells me the guys doing
armed robberies and alleys aren't the smartest guys to remember codes but anyway yeah isn't
that crazy in on campus or just off campus yeah i mean if that house is right on campus yeah
that is so messed up was it like someone his age our age no he said he was like an older guy
and I guess like the cops have been watching him
and there's like video cameras
of the incident and everything
but like he was in a unmarked car
didn't have license plate.
Oh no plates.
He's just driving around and now he's like at
at large technically
like he's probably still doing the same shit
so when that happened me and Greta started looking at
like the crime reports in the cities
and dude that's just like one of 50 things
that happened that day.
Yeah probably that hour
That's small, I'm sure, in the scale of it, which not to even try to minimize it, but that's crazy.
Like, that's got to be pretty scarring, obviously, for having a gun pointed at you.
You don't know if you're going to, you don't know if the guy's going to pull the trigger.
Right.
And thank God he didn't, obviously.
I guess it's definitely going to make it more careful.
I mean, I'm not saying.
Of what?
Of walking?
No, but I'm just saying, like, I don't think it's a...
It's just your living, like, situations.
Yeah, no, it's the worst.
But I'm like, if that's what it is going to be in Minneapolis, then that's what it's going to be.
And I'm just like, hopefully he's got his guard up.
I don't want that to, him to ever even walk over to a car that says, come here.
I love how Mike, I know what you need to do.
I love all Mike.
Hopefully he learned his lesson when Mike hasn't fucking.
A guy puts down his window, he points a gun at you and says, come here.
What are you going to do, run away?
Well, Mike would have been stressed for not being out after dark and wearing those type of clothes.
No, is that 1.30 in the afternoon.
Yeah, he shouldn't have been wearing those type of clothes, you know?
It was in the middle of the afternoon.
Wow, that's actually pretty much.
I'm not saying he learned his lesson.
I'm just like, damn, I bet he's going to be careful walking around now.
Like, not even, like, just...
What do you mean?
Like, he's not rolling around without his peace or his boys.
Right.
What do you mean?
Careful.
It's like where you live, I feel like.
Right.
So he's got to be careful.
How could, how, what would he have done differently?
I'm not saying he should have done anything differently.
I'm just dropped out.
See, that's what happened.
I go to college.
I'm just kidding.
I'm not saying you should have done anything.
Is what you're saying is like,
being aware of your surroundings
more? Just being aware that the
chances of that happening are
extremely higher than when he comes
home to DL when he comes home.
Oh yeah, yeah. That's what it's just like a
completely different living situation.
Oh shit, that actually happened to me. I've heard this
happening to people in Minneapolis like all the time. That happened to me.
What's super annoying,
I've talked to certain people that live in the cities that
completely deny the living situation.
being dangerous and I don't understand what do they live in Minnetonka yes yeah that's why
no no no the nicest city no I think it's people that live outside that don't want to recognize
what's happening in in the city almost or I think which is even more like delusional or worse
is that it's like a political stance where you don't want to admit that it is dangerous or that
like things are happening because it looks bad on your politician yeah I don't
agree with that, which I'm like, dude, at what point is it just not worth it?
Like, put politics aside, put pride aside, the pride aside, like, the safety of civilians,
random civilians in a town just because of like a certain policy.
Right.
Dude, I agree 100%.
Political agenda?
I don't know.
It's like they don't care about the integrity of their beloved city, you know?
They're just like letting it go.
Do you remember, Ryan?
I don't think they view it like that.
though they don't well obviously and i mean look at politics from either side and they'll both argue
yeah they'll both argue against each other and i don't think either probably right but um almost putting
a sense of like humanity aside and trying to make it something political when it shouldn't be that
no human should be put in that position like dude yeah can you imagine being held at gunpoint
Was he pretty jarred from it?
Was he pretty shooking up?
I think he's...
How's he taking it?
I mean, having someone point a gun at you
and not knowing whether they're going to pull the trigger
or not has got to be pretty...
It was pretty scary.
You know?
When it happened to me.
Jarring.
Yeah, I guess like...
Oh, that's right.
I was in a car.
No, you didn't.
They didn't really happen like that.
So I guess...
Oh, so him getting a gun pointed out of him
was different than mine.
Yeah, Ryan, you're being a little bitch.
What are you talking about in your Jeep?
Yeah.
He didn't have a gun in his hand.
Yeah.
He had a gun.
He said I win.
Oh, the guy pointed a gun at us.
What the fuck?
Is this too stupid?
Are you on camera?
No, he did.
He blacked up.
But he didn't point at you.
He pointed at us and I said he's not going to pull the trigger.
I know he won't.
No, he didn't lift it up.
Jesus Christ.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
No, it does.
It does.
Did he lift it up?
No.
Yeah.
He was fucking pointed out of us.
Was he?
I don't think he ever.
He ain't going to shoot.
No, he did.
I don't think he ever went like this.
Okay.
Next time when you tell the story and you go run.
had a gun pulled on him. The guy was this close to his head. And then I have to go, oh, no,
remember, he didn't even have a gun in his hand. Was Ben in the same car as everyone else?
He was in the back seat. He couldn't see. That's why he wasn't freaking out.
Anyway. So I do have something to say about the cities. This reminds me of a story that
actually Ryan and I experienced together. It was last year, last fall. And him and I and our girlfriends
went to a Vikings game. And we were staying in a nice whole.
hotel um just across street from the stadium and we go walking out on game day we're sitting there
waiting for like our uber or something or we were going to go get brunch doesn't matter and this guy
comes up that was supposedly homeless and uh he goes like you know hey could i get some money like
i'm trying to trying to get back home to see my my mama and he was like god he had to been in his
50s and like i don't know i'm actually kind of a sucker i give him
I normally give people money, but it just didn't feel right.
He got to me last, and I just was, like, thinking to myself, I'm like, God damn it.
Like, I can't keep just doing this.
And I just said, sorry, man, all I got is my card.
And he literally looked at me at this, he goes, motherfucker fucking white.
Oh, I just started screaming.
Freaking out.
Oh, motherfucker fucking white.
It's like, you have to take that word anymore.
You have to take that, that word out, beep it.
Like, it was a greg.
I actually, I haven't heard that word in a long time.
I mean, he starts calling us it.
and, like, creates a whole scene and we're all just like this.
And he just, like, goes walking away and we're just like,
he was so nice and polite asking for the money and he switched like this.
And I was like, bro, I went from being like, God, I feel so bad telling this guy, like,
no, I don't have any cash on me.
They're like, almost swinging.
Fuck that guy.
I'd imagine that even bigger cities are, you know, dealing with the same thing.
But it's like, how do you even fix that?
How do you fix that?
You can't give money out to people because then you create another problem.
It's just like, ultimately, it's just a societal thing.
Where does Minneapolis rank in, like, the most violent cities?
Honestly, God, I'd have to admit it's probably not even crack in the top 15.
I would imagine not, but it just really has gone to shit.
Really?
I think it is.
I think, like, number one, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, which I've actually heard St.
Louis is really bad. Memphis, a bunch of rent.
Milwaukee, that's.
Yeah, have you ever heard about the key?
You know, Minneapolis.
I haven't heard about him.
He was part of them.
Well, now, we don't want to spill the beans.
But you guys ever heard about the Kia boys?
Uh-uh.
So it's basically this group of young men in Milwaukee.
They're like...
Wisconsin?
I don't even know if I could say young men.
They are boys.
Like, young teenagers.
And they figured out for some reason how to steal Kiyas very easily.
And they steal these Kiyahs.
I was wondering how they got their needs.
name yeah the kia boys they're the kia boys we're the kia boys they're the kia boys
don't get a mix don't get twisted like we're the sea boys because we're the boys of kormont
they're the kia boys because they steal kiyas and drive them recklessly wreck them roll them
go like a hundred mile an hour that's kind of fun through like a 25 mile an hour like residential
zone they are so reckless and they have no care in the world and uh this YouTuber Tommy g
actually did a little segment he did a video with them
I have to check that out.
He does, like, these documentaries where he goes to the hood.
He's a really, I actually fuck with him.
I've seen a few of his other ones.
He's up and coming.
He did a video.
So, anyways, he goes to Milwaukee and he does this video with them.
They, like, fucking start ripping these cars.
How do you do a video with them, aren't they?
So, like, his channel?
Yeah, they were wearing masks.
Okay.
They had ski masks on, like, the kids.
Yeah.
And, uh, you just would have to go check it out.
But, uh, he does these, he started doing these documentary type of videos,
15 minute videos where he'll go and be,
with the Kia boys who are stealing Kia's
or he'll go and hang around
like a really big drug dealer
and like film drug deals
and everyone's masked up and like it's it's like a show
you would see on vice like vice yeah
where like and he's he does a really good job
because it just is very real
how does he get that shit approved with like a drug dealer
I and that's I don't know
I think you eventually develop a reputation
like he keeps it real and
ultimately a lot of these people
you know you've never been on camera you you're into money and making money or whatever a lot of people want to be like a star you know they feel cool whether their face is masked or whatever it's just like i guess i can understand
it hits them there but anyways he did this video on uh i believe it was in new york and the dirt bikes that are running the streets around there and the guy who was his main form of contact clearly watches our videos because he was wearing a sea boy's
TV dirt bike shirt. No way.
Dead ass serious.
Dead ass serious. The guy
that he meets up with and then brings
him to go meet with all the other
guys that are doing wheelies in the street
is wearing a C-Boys TV
dirt bike shirt. I swear to God.
That's so sick. Bro. I and I've
been watching his videos for like two months and then that
pops. I'm like
like that's pretty cool
but also I don't know. Pop it up
I will send you the link Ryan. You can put it on
the screen. Dude is wearing a dirt bike shirt.
Whoever that guy is. Yeah.
Is it, yeah, his name is that bike stuff?
Can we really plug him?
Can we plug him?
Is he getting in trouble?
I don't know.
He's trying to.
Whatever, we'll plug it.
Fuck it.
Yeah, nice guy.
And he's like, yeah, I had to copp that.
He copped the quad one too because he guys.
Let's send him some shit after this just because he was wearing it in that video.
And, uh, that's so cool.
I'm actually hit up Tommy G and say, yo, love what you doing.
Oh, so that'd be sick.
Yeah, do you guys like watch, like on that similar form of content, like real media right now is
definitely on YouTube, I would say, not the news.
and Andrew Callahan
like all gas, no brakes
he actually got like
a company bought that
whole channel from him
and he lost it so he can't do
why did that happen
basically he was like
just trying to make it
and they came to him and said
we'll fund all of this
we'll pay for you and a filmmaker
maybe two filmers and we'll get you an RV
and we'll pay for your gas
and I think that's about it
you know like fronted him
$20,000 to get going
and to film for the year
and then, like, something, I can't remember.
They screwed him over in the contract, it sounds like.
And then he basically had to, like, give up his all gas, no breaks channel, which is just a fun name.
That's so much.
This shit happens all the time in contracts.
If you don't have someone reading your contracts or if you're not reading them yourself,
you're fucking up.
Yeah, straight up.
How many stories have you heard of that?
He's like, uh, just channel five with Andrew Calhahn.
And like, dude, he did like a full documentary on O Block, like in Chicago.
He did, dude, like Tommy G did one as well.
It's like in Soblood.
Obloch is like a big community of apartments and there's like, it's like section 8 housing,
you know, like, it's very dangerous.
And it's just dangerous.
That's where like Chief Keefe came from and like, it's just dangerous.
In general, like there's like this building is like against this building.
They're not quite like that, but like, dude, people like they're shooting all over it.
And he like went and then he took him to a Cubs baseball game and all that.
Like he just does the media.
He covers the stuff that like no one's covering like going in.
in there with like legit gang members wow it's a little bit ingenious like it's not only going
and documented but then taking them to like a normal societal event that's some shit we do like
he just goes to uh like all the rallies and protests and and he never says anything bad about anyone
about any side about any certain this or that but he just ends up clowning like basically everyone
he interviews like it's not his main goal but it's like it's like it's like it's
It's very funny.
I feel like you could do that, Mike.
I would love it.
He's, but I'm not outgoing enough.
Like, I feel outgoing, but like, I'm not quick and witty.
He's, like, no, I guess you're right.
He doesn't really come off as, like, outgoing.
Yeah, I just love it.
It's very entertaining content.
I have a lot of respect for people that are able to go into situations that are going to be
uncomfortable.
Yeah.
You know, and especially for like the cameraman, too.
You know, it's like kind of one of those behind the scenes, things that do.
that do not get the respect that they deserve
because it's so awkward when they look at you
and they're like, you're fucking filming me.
Yeah, you're the one I have the problem with.
They normally have a problem with the camera guy
and you got to sit there and hold that shit on them.
And like if anyone's getting punched first,
it's the camera guy for sure.
Go either whack the camera or hit the cameraman.
A lot of times for YouTubers that
just are like a single YouTuber with a cameraman,
like Danny Duncan's a great example of it.
He's probably the biggest example of it.
they go around and if anyone presses the cameraman they get pissed and they they cover them
and like do not touch the cameraman or my camera it's your duty as and i mean you know i don't even
know who we're really speaking to but if you're a YouTuber and you are hiring a cameraman and you're
putting doing these situational vehicle or videos where the cameraman is in a opportunity to get hit
it is your duty to make sure they don't like i remember
pretending a goalie yeah i remember when
uh... logan paul and was was with jake ball
and jake was hanging around the shady character at the time and the guy went
after logan paul's cameraman and logan paul grabbed the fucking dude and slam them to the
ground i've seen that happen i've seen so many people like just defend their their camera
guys and because they respect them because you without them son i love that it's also a very
selfless duty it's a
This selfless dude, you get no fame and you're just, you're in the line of fire.
And it's like easy to, you can do a hundred things right and one wrong, you know, like 100
things right, delete the one clip you shouldn't have like bounce the shit, you know.
You fumbled the shot.
Yeah.
But I love that.
I love it's also, it's just like, I love how you said protect the goalie.
It's just like the goalie in a sense.
You can do 100 things right, block 100 shots.
But if you miss the three, oh, man.
One that matters.
Yeah.
That's so funny.
Unless you're a cameraman around here, then you get a.
attacked because you're probably also the one playing the prank like when ken threw that thing
at you no you were a bystander no you were a camera man i i will admit i slightly and i mean it was
kind of my instigation but uh it's it's different for our situation because we're all friends
right yeah but i see what you're saying if you're putting someone in the line of fire yeah you want
know something i i haven't been able to appreciate as much uh just lately and maybe it might be just
due to my coming of age.
Soccer.
No.
It's when people go out and they make videos potentially riling up someone just minding
their own business.
I say they go to Target and this guy is shopping and they're secretly filming them and they
very clearly instigate them to get mad and then they make this video on him.
But it's like this guy's really witty and he's quick with the comebacks and it's very
obviously that he's joking and the other guy doesn't.
and they basically make the other person look bad on video
and it's very easily for me to like watch it
and see and be like they totally just did that guy dirty
they set them up and I mean we've maybe done it a couple times too
I think it's considered punching down in the industry
it's like when the joke's not on you
you kind of are punching down and you know whatever
but I've had a hard time appreciating that lately
you know what I'm saying and I'm not even going to say
I'm not going to say YouTubers names that do that
but there's so many that have made such a large career off of it.
It's like, I think maybe I don't appreciate it as much because they're like,
I know how these people are living.
I'm like, wow, dude, like, you're a fucking millionaire and you go around to Walmart
and pick on these like people that are just trying to get by.
And then you set them up and then you make it big off of it.
And it's just like, I don't know.
And I used to, yeah, you can edit it and make them look bad, make you look good.
And that used to be my favorite type of content.
Right.
But now I have grown out of it.
Huh.
Because I don't know.
I just have a different look on it.
I don't appreciate it as much.
I think there's like two truths to that, like both sides, how you said, it is considered
punching down in the industry because it is.
And then there's also the side of some, it's all subjective.
Sometimes it's funny.
Sometimes it is funny.
And like how you said, we've maybe done it a few times because sometimes it happens when
we're like out and about us.
Maybe especially when like mic up.
for it or if you're out and they come in.
Creating a whole career off of it, completely different.
It's because then it's like they're up, they're way up.
Like they're making money and they're just always like, yeah,
another video of punching down.
Like it's different if I'm making fun of you because it's kind of like, you know,
we're in this together kind of thing.
But it's like not really that cool if you're like clowning random people.
Basically just taking.
Yeah.
That's a very grown up thing of you to say.
But I mean, it's 100% legit.
It's something I've recently realized because there's just.
people that I've watched for a long time
that I have a hard time watching.
And it definitely is changing.
People watching on YouTube,
it's shifting towards a,
I like how you did this prank on people.
No one got hurt.
No one got upset.
No one, whatever.
To be clear,
you mentioned Danny Duncan.
It's not,
I'm not even talking about Danny Duncan.
There's just so many other people
that do that type of content.
Danny Duncan is probably my favorite YouTuber still.
I think it's probably the easiest,
one of the easiest types of content to make.
It's not though,
but it just takes a certain,
type of person. You have to have balls. Yeah, no, for sure. But like, if you do, if you go up to
25 people, yeah, in reality, odds are that you're going to find one person that's going to give
you such a good reaction. You're going to go viral off of it. So it's like, it's just kind of a
numbers game. There's this guy on Instagram that I have followed and I think he's really funny.
And he does a little bit more where he makes fun of himself. And that's kind of why it's a little
funnier. Still, it's interacted with random people. But he goes.
to like a loz and he's smoking weed and he goes can i smoke this in here and like nobody stops him
and he just ends up getting wicked high and he like literally is at he's like can someone please kick me out
and they're like nah man you're good to do that in here just totally flipped it on they don't want to
even press them yeah they don't even want to probably whatever type of city they live in it's so funny
yeah they're like we got bigger problems to deal with man people are stealing stuff in here yeah they're like
we don't need to stop that i'm going to pull it up speaking of stealing stuff i saw Walmart
just dropped a stat that they had a billion dollars worth of stuff stolen last year.
I believe it.
Yeah.
And I heard that they were talking about potentially closing down their stores,
which I thought was major cap.
Yeah.
Major cap.
Certain stores.
So the dumb question.
Oh,
maybe it was certain stores.
But is Walmart worldwide or just U.S.?
Worldwide?
I don't know about,
yeah.
I know it's America.
Not a lot,
but there is it not allowed.
I think they tried and they kind of closed a few.
Can you imagine?
Not allowed
But yeah
So if it's like worldwide
But if that's just US
Like you know
That's a lot of stolen
What is Walmart's revenue
A year
Like is a billion bucks
For Walmart's revenue a lot
Yeah
They said a billion dollars
Was stolen
A billion
Dude there's there's some cities
Where they have like
Laws where they don't enforce
Certain type of crimes
Where like
So if it's like
If it's like under a certain dollar amount
they don't enforce it and I've seen videos of this it'll be like this guy comes in here every week and steals whatever and he's just masked up and like no one can stop him he just walks in takes shit leaves no one does anything they just turn the other cheek and the police don't do anything either yeah because they're like oh this guy just stole a bag of chips and a pop
the guy steals you know whatever but yeah he just walks in walks out wow and I think there's a lot of cities like that I don't know what exactly it's called it's like a
It's just like a petty crime.
Yeah, they consider under a certain dollar amount, maybe like a thousand bucks,
so they could steal like, wow.
I don't, and don't quote me on a thousand, but like a certain amount,
it was like, the dude had taken very clearly stolen.
Nothing's going to happen to him.
He does it every week.
But in fiscal year 2022, they did 572.8 billion.
Wow.
So how much was stolen?
Just a billion?
0.5% of the revenue?
That's not even a 1%.
Yeah, it's, yeah.
It's like 1% of 1%
Marginal.
Sorry, sorry, not even a full percent.
That's very marginal.
That's a lot still.
That's a ton.
Yeah, it's a lot of money.
But yeah.
No, I don't, I believe it.
Have you ever been in this?
A billion dollars.
Never even seen that ever.
It's only a billion dollars.
Like it would fill up like an arena of just stuff.
Yeah.
I mean, the bigger you get, that's just part of it.
But I've been like creating a folder on Instagram.
like of crazy videos, but like actually
crazy videos, you know, people getting smoked at the
a bunch of just crazy shit.
This too has got some fuck-up folder of people getting hit by cars.
Yeah, I mean, not, not, it's not a folder of people
just getting hit by cars or smoked.
He watches every night before he goes to bed.
As you will.
Yeah, I go through all 24 videos every night.
Okay, what's your folder here?
It's just crazy videos.
There is a lot of explicit.
Yeah, obviously.
Okay, where are you going on?
with this. I'm just wondering if you guys
want me to show them to you. Oh, can we?
I feel like this is when
you're young and you used to search on
YouTube like crazy videos.
I promise you these
will not be what you'd find
crazy videos.
Dude, they are.
I promise you, if this happened
to you, you'd go, that was crazy.
Oh my god
Straight into the top floor
patio door
And exploded probably in their living room
Like
Can you imagine that happening to you
Bro
Like it could have started the entire building on fire
To an extent
One really hurt someone
Yeah
I don't
I hate to be this guy
I don't think it's real
Really
Yeah it could be
How do you not think this is real
It's too far away
It just seems like
Two minutes
That seems real to me
Like can you imagine
Doing that on whatever kind of tractor that is
He's just like yeah I can finesse
Bounce it back on
How does this only have 4,300 likes?
Mike, don't you have a tractor?
You have a tractor
Oh dude Mark
You couldn't do that way
Mark you're a farm boy
Mark
Mark
Mark
Dude
God damn
Dude God absolutely
I love the caption
If your shit tore up, I'm going to stay away.
Come on, Mike.
Dude, the car meets.
When you just...
Did he just run over his leg?
Yeah, and then look at him just, kind of like walk away.
All right, I'll restart it.
Dude, I saw this one.
Oh, hold up.
That guy might have a broken neck.
So many people get run over by cars and are fine.
Hold on.
He got run over by a Chevy HHR or whatever the fuck that is.
I think it's a modest.
Maybe he broke his backer's neck.
Oh, he's back down, yeah.
He broke his back or his neck.
Oh, his face, dude.
No, he broke his back or his neck 100%.
Do you see the way he bended?
Oh, yeah.
Like, his collarbone?
Yeah, so, it's out of there, though.
His collarbone, something.
There's so many good ones, these.
Dude, oh, this is the best one.
That's the pants one.
Yeah, look, he looks up at the guy,
and the guy in the left is filming him right there.
And he's like, oh, shit.
Just he's got 30.
Boxers are wrong.
Is that like a southern thing
To do these car meetups and donuts
Oh my
I haven't thought that was funny
Bike in half
Dude I was just telling Vass to watch out
Not do this on our scooter
All right in front of the cop
Oh
He slid on his face
Dude he had the green light too
That cop was running a red light
you're trying to warn him she is.
Oh my gosh.
Banschy.
Go figure.
Oh.
Dude,
there's been so many times late at night we've been butt.
I fucking told you.
There's been so many times late at night.
We'll be buzzing home down the trail after like a long day snowmobiling in the mountains.
And we'll be just ripping.
Like 75 dark,
whooped out trail.
And there'll just be a corner that comes out of nowhere.
where I've almost done that and I always go
man that really really suck right now
pile driving to a bunch of trees at the end of the day
yeah this is a this I will end on this one
it's a four-wheeler clip that most of you should have seen
if you're into a power sport
but this dude bounces this utility four-wheeler
oh
wait
does it roll on them
it kind of does but actually the dude ends up being
all right so you got to be careful with those those actual four-wheelers not quads utility
those things roll on you you're in trouble i mean people die all the time especially the uh the
it's the going up the hill thing you can climb something and tips straight back or even sideway
yeah a collection i i promise like i only put like that's your bike mike i know dude he's on
the wise oh no he's got a chick on there yeah i already know what's going to happen and they're
having a good time now but
This poor girl.
What is she doing hanging around on this guy?
Oh my God.
But yeah, like right now he's kind of shredding.
Well, clearly he knows what he's doing.
Oh, I hate that you say right now.
So then they switch positions.
She hops on the back.
No.
He's going crazy right now.
He's doing the Evan arm swing.
Oh, my gosh.
Should he have her feet on the pegs?
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
Honestly, this is insanely impressive.
Wait, maybe they don't crash
And I just saved it
Because I was really impressed
There's gonna be Mike and Sydney
I was gonna say
They'd be really dumb to post all this
And not post
I agree dude
He's same bike and everything
Absolutely throwing down right now
Man this chick
Has got bigger balls than him
I wouldn't want to ride on the back of that thing
I was gonna say I must really like this guy
Well it's whenever I think of a ride or die
I just always think of that
It's like not that you know
Everyone wants a ride or die
But like whatever that is
That's right or die
I would
I wouldn't
I wouldn't even
I wouldn't even expect anyone
to do that with me
dude
Oh my gosh
Can we get the bowling sound on that
Oh
Gosh
How do people keep getting hit at these car meets
How do you show up
At a street
They just keep happening
Yeah I know
But how do how are you so fucking dumb
You're like
I'm gonna stand this close
Dude I get here
To this random amateur dude
Who just bought a charger
last week.
Literally.
We should do like a PSA
like a t-shirt
or some fundraiser
stop getting hit at car meets
or whatever.
What are those called again?
A PSA?
Street takeovers.
Street takeover, slide show.
I do want to go to one though.
I'm not going to lie.
It'd be so fun.
Is that like a southern thing?
I think it's more of a big city thing
because they can get away with it.
But yeah, I think southern
wherever a bunch of dudes
have stolen Hellcats.
seems to be a common theme.
It is always the Hellcats.
You always see a Hellcat doing it.
I think it's because you can buy like a 70,000
or a 170,000 mile Hellcat
with a salvage title for like 35 grand.
Yeah.
So it's like, how can you not?
It's also kind of like the gangster car.
Like if you look at like the hood wrappers,
they're all ripping around in Hellcats.
It doesn't matter as a charger.
It's mostly a challenger.
Mostly, most of the time, it's a charger.
Charger or the four-door.
It's a four-door.
When you see somebody getting smoked in a donut ring like that,
it's always usually a Hellcat Charger.
But it's like the neighborhood star drug dealer,
they all, like, that's when they feel like they, I don't know.
That's what you got it when you got that kiddy.
It seems like, it seems like that's how it is.
And it also seems to be that's how it is because of the way they talk about it in the rap songs.
But I'd say we've probably gone.
long enough today, wouldn't you guys?
Yes, sir.
We've gone deep enough.
It was a good one.
It was a good one.
Yeah, this was fun.
