what is that a drone yeah but why oh god dude i do not know if this is a good idea
kens crashed the drone like three times in the last like month and if you crash it again like
You know, I've just been thinking a lot, like, how can we take this podcast to the next level?
And I think, like, the camera work, imagine having the drone, just filming the whole thing.
I love that.
It won't affect the audio.
No, it should be fine, honestly.
It should be good.
Anyways, I'm going to click Go Fly.
Let's see how this goes.
Watch this thing just zing straight into the ceiling.
I'm pretty excited now at this point.
CJ, have you ever flown the drone?
It's working.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Is it recording?
Yeah, yeah, we're going.
All right, guys.
Welcome back to the life on open podcast.
Hold on, man. I got to pan over to you.
What the fucking A.
I really don't fly this thing much.
All right. Hey, guys. Welcome back to the podcast.
Thank you for listening.
Today we got our good friend Justin Hansen on.
He was our second ever guest.
No, second ever podcast.
First ever guest.
And he's back.
Yeah, a little bit breezy in the studio today.
We got a high chance of blizzard here in Cormoron, Minnesota.
If you look to our left here, it appears really nice and aquatic,
but I promise you it's frozen on the top of that later.
All right.
Then on the other side of the podcast.
Oh, no, pan that one.
My bad.
We got C.J.
How's it going, guys?
Otherwise known as our drone operator, also on a cameraman.
And then Micah.
And we're going to get another turn.
We have Ryan's sister, Ryan's girlfriend.
Peanut Gallery.
My girlfriend, she looks like she's maybe scared for her life.
Yeah, do some trick.
Get it in there.
Get it in there.
Get it closer.
Hold on.
It's trying to land itself.
It just hold up.
Is someone recording this with a, record this by the phone?
Oh, Ryan's got it.
Wait, why's it going up?
Get it more interactive with the guest.
Yeah.
I'm trying, but it doesn't like having a ceiling three feet above it.
Mark looks like he could use a haircut.
Let's give him a quick trim off the top.
Hey, well, it was...
Oh, okay.
Put it in sport mode.
I got this thing in fast mode.
Oh, jevis.
Okay, here we go, guys.
You guys get to see our whole podcast set up today.
There's all the more reason to watch on YouTube.
Okay.
I'm going to move in above the camera.
No.
Above the camera, I got it.
I got it.
I'm an expert drone operator.
What's up, baby?
You look good.
Alandra.
Sydney.
Okay.
Mark?
You got the camcorder right behind you.
Hey, I'm going to fly this into the merch shipping operation right now.
Dude, if this works.
Oh, fuck.
See, I get mixed around on the sticks.
Like, which, holy fuck, I'm close to the wall.
I get mixed around on the sticks as far as...
It's all right.
It's only sheet rock.
Oh, you're good now.
Hey, Ryan, maybe go get a...
Holy Fudge, guys.
We're really in this.
We're in this.
Normally, we can't fly this thing in an open field
that might have, like, one pine tree on the other end,
like 200 yards away.
We'll manage to crash it every single time.
But CJ's manning this thing pretty good right now.
I'm not trying to, like, throw shit.
Well, normally...
Oh, there's Ken.
He's got to be confused.
Spotted.
Look at Ken.
Ken's spooked.
Ken had to some little smart remark
And he got the hell out of it
Oh, he's gone
Good to see him taking the trash out
Because he walked right past the trash this morning
Put two things out
And he just walks right past and goes to the shop
I'm like, you could have just taken it dude
Like you have a Bronco
So
All right, let's go check out how these kids are doing
This is how you monitor
How people are working
Without them knowing that you're there
Yeah, totally inconspicuous
Oh fuck I think oh holy fuck
That was really fun
So we got Ken's down there shipping orders from the merch shop, and he's got four of our younger good buddies in there working away.
Ken's a little sweatshop.
It looks like they're doing pretty good.
Yeah, they've shipped out, I'm not going to lie.
Like 800 orders already, and it's only been about a day.
Hey, yeah, that's right, you little shits.
Get back to work.
We've got a live view of the minions.
It's kind of weird not being able to hear the hovering of the drone right now.
Dude, I'm really, I should be an FPV.
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm going to crash this thing now.
We should get an FPV.
We've been saying that forever.
I think FPV drones, like, you know, the ones that.
Is that those like, yeah, they can swoop and go around it.
All right.
No, because it's like, it's like a GoPro connected to the drone.
So it, you know, it pan.
The tilt's with it, yeah.
You see, I mean.
Flip over.
Oh, but I.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
There's lights there.
I genuinely think the FPV drones are like the future of action sports.
Like the dirt bike clips with the FMX ramps they have with that.
CJ, you got a big future ahead of you.
Pretty soon they're going to be slapping full-on cameras on them.
Oh, yeah.
Are you flying it back up here?
Yeah, I just have to check for myself.
If I crash this drone, don't worry, guys.
We'll take out of Ken's paycheck.
Okay.
He's the only one.
You can hear it again now.
Actually working right now.
You guys get to see, like, the shop, like,
never before oh my gosh oh it just buzzed the wall bro you were probably an inch away from the wall
i got to land it back where i took it off just for my own like ego i guess all right don't hit the
cam holy shit i'm so impressed you guys i think you just witnessed history i think you're right
the first ever let me just let it land the first ever podcast segment filmed with a drone
That was amazing.
Thank you, guys.
That was so cool.
Talk about entertainment.
That was great.
Speaking of, like, first ever and, like, landings of sorts,
Justin, you're a smart guy.
Was the moon-rent landing real?
Let's just get right into it.
I don't know.
Is this not the most American thing ever to fake that, though?
They were probably like, oh, well, the Russians made it first.
Well, we'll just say that we landed on.
the moon and then we'll just fake that we put a flag on it but i think we actually did it why then
why have we never been back or have we been back i don't think we've been back right uh no point
yeah what's i mean kind of been there done that yeah but if you can make it there once why would
you just be no no point going back i'm just waiting for like one of the you know one of our local
billionaires on planet earth to just like open an amusement park there or something like how cool
would that be if there was like a roller coaster on the moon that would be dope i was
be dope. I was listening to a podcast with Elon Musk and the guy asked Elon Musk, is this
Mars travel going to just be for like the Uber rich and wealthy to escape Earth? And he said, no,
actually the quite opposite. If you're rich, why would you want to leave and have the possibility
of dying? He was saying that there's a 70% chance that he'll make it to Mars in his lifetime,
but he was like, we don't even know if you can get back yet. Once you get there, you're going to be
working around the clock setting up camp it's going to be like terrible living no one's going to
oh they're talking about it's going to work yeah so he was like why would the uber rich want to go
to mars when you might die or you got to work like the entire time if if a billionaire wanted to
live somewhere super like cold hot and desolate they could just live in the middle of a desert
and they don't it's just it's just the adventurous type where it's like i want to be the first guy
to walk on mars but until there's really like tons of resources
or the ability to like colonize it
I don't think people are going to be on Mars for a while
well uh speaking of colonizing land
quick announcement
what did you do this morning Ben
um
what did you sign your name
well don't tell him about that but
oh the other thing
dude you know you the blank
colonizing land
I'm not that well I think it was yesterday morning
what are you saying
shoot dude he's just really
I've been stranded at the IWorks House for last.
Colonizing land.
You just signed your name on the new land that we bought.
We bought 40 acres.
It's super exciting.
Right, right.
I wasn't sure if that's what you were talking about or not.
Let's get in that.
Actually, after you talk about where you, Ryan, Alonja, and Sydney have been for the past 20, was it, 48 hours.
You've been stranded out on Ryan's point, as you saw in the, I don't know when this podcast dropped.
But when we had to go save Ryan and Jake, you got to.
You guys were literally stranded out there.
Yeah, it was that road.
Ryan said in there like he was about to goze over.
Ryan's been snowblowing.
Ryan's been snowblowing for, I don't know, collectively 10 hours in the last two days.
Jesus.
No, you snowblowed from, what was that, 6, 7 a.m. to 2?
Yeah, I guess, yeah.
In a big-ass tractor.
It's just today, yeah.
Insane, you got to pop up that picture if you saved it, how deep the snow is.
So it wasn't even like snowing.
I think it snowed an inch or.
two, and that road, as you guys saw in the last video or two ago.
Holy, it looks like no one, it blows over for one day and it looks like no one lives there
in the winter.
What would have happened if, like, an emergency happened?
Like, let's say Micah had a heart attack.
We would have had to call, we would have called you guys.
What, I would come and got you on my snowmobile?
I suppose that's literally the only option.
We don't have the Maverick with tracks anymore.
Right.
And, yeah, I was just going to say the Razzie.
Ambulance sang getting through that shit.
That drift was four feet.
eat tall.
I mean,
you could call it,
if it was so bad,
you could call it helicopter.
That's true.
Hellie.
That'd actually be pretty
badass besides for the heart attack part.
It'd be like 30 grand,
but you could do it.
Health insurance now.
Wait,
does health insurance
cover helicopters?
Well,
thank God we got health insurance
after Ken's birthday party.
Seriously.
Those guys must,
what did you say again?
Helicopter wouldn't have flown yesterday.
Oh,
what you have done?
What do you have done?
Drive it out there.
Dude,
I got the trailer and that's just there's no way.
I would have came out on my
snowmobile with one of those shitty-ass little plastic sleds with the little rope and I was just
hung it behind and just fucking slew with my bouncing yeah but uh yeah so we got out finally after
a day and a half thanks to Ryan uh so now can we get to it oh yeah the land the land the local
colonizer over here the local you know I've just been out planting my seed I didn't know if that's
what you were oh I was like oh yeah I'm calling thought he was saying
That's like, that's what colonizing means.
It doesn't mean planning flowers, man.
You're like creating a community with your seed.
Ben's colonizing his new neighborhood on his 40 acres of land.
Yeah, no.
So we just closed on 40 acres of land.
That's if like our shop is right here and then there's like a little sliver right here where there's a house,
we bought 40 acres right here.
So it's pretty much right next to our shop.
It's perfect.
Because what are the odds?
Like the, literally.
We got so lucky.
No one really sells anything around here and for it to be right next to us.
And also, we got it for a good ass deal.
It's got a really good deal.
I don't know.
Like, we literally it was up on like the market for like two minutes.
I don't know how we just, we just got really lucky.
Someone tipped us off.
I feel like it could have really ran up if we wouldn't a snake when we did.
Yeah, it did.
And then they did this.
So if anybody out here is going to buy something that is,
under like in you know there's obviously not much supply so like the demand of trying to buy a house
or a piece of property right now is huge and so if you want to buy something really bad put into it
an acceleration clause i believe it's called where basically if somebody's baiting against you
or offering making an offer on a piece of property or house as well if you have this clause in
um basically it'll take their offer and then add like two thousand dollars or a thousand dollars
whatever you want to do so then your offer immediately is just above theirs so then the seller will
just be like well i don't want to mess around with it too much more they're going to offer more
two thousand more than they did so i'll just sell to them that's what happened with us so it didn't
otherwise like if we wouldn't have had that they would have just been like oh another higher offer
we'll just take that one isn't it nice though you guys like to see a plan coming together and
working like we've been making noise here for three years trying to get our neighbors to sell
and we finally got one down you know it's just it's just a matter of time we're going to start
weeding them out slowly take over yep drive them out of town yeah it's the best dude I love it
I love it seems like the locals have been extra spicy at us lately too so it's just great that
we're kind of like planting our seed even deep there you go like planting our seed Jesus yeah we're
like buying up around here so yeah we just closed on we didn't want to
get too excited we haven't even looked at the place yet or explored it at all
which from yeah yeah from the road you can like see everything that you're getting but we have not
explored it so yeah we have to do that in the video like woods swamp which normally you wouldn't
want swamp on your land but for us we're like fuck yeah swamp like we can drive through that you know
it's perfect yeah so it's it's uh it's gonna be sweet so you have to i don't know if that'll be
out by now but if not something to look forward to i guess yeah because i mean just to put
into comparison like what Ben was drawing out like what we have now is tiny compared to what
that is. We have two acres. We have two acres. Our track is built on one acre. Right. So, you know,
we'll pop up a picture actually. This will just put it into comparison. Thank you. Put it into
conspiracy. Conspiracy. We didn't land on the moon. It didn't happen. We're going to colonize
our land. No. So this is how, what our chunk of land looks like compared to the new spot. So
Obviously, it's a little bit of an upgrade.
People are like, what are you going to do with it?
We're like, I don't know.
We'll figure that out that we get 40 fucking acres, dude.
It's going to be fun.
Dude, imagine the pit bike track you could make on the whole thing.
Okay, so then that part almost stresses me out.
That means we have to like, I mean, love to have rich back.
That means we got to like basically redo all the hard work that we just put in on the old one.
Granted, we could dial in it in it.
So that's why I'm happy.
Start fresh anyways.
You guys could put it back in.
the woods where there's that like hill going up and down that would be so sick yeah that would be
dope or at least part of it so i think and then on like the other half we were talking about this
you know we're going to build a little neighborhood we're all going to have our houses move our
this is like a long-term plan yeah all you ladies sitting there you're going to love to hear this
where we're going to build some houses right just five houses for all of us like a cul-de-sac
yep a cul-de-sac so this is going to be kind of a little colony like a like a cult some people
me call it. Anyway, so we're just going to basically provide, then we'll have our kids there,
and it'll be great for them because we're going to put up a bar, a strip club. And then what was
the other one? I couldn't remember. It was a bar strip club. What was the last thing you need? A casino.
Oh, casino. Yeah, definitely not a school. You know, they'll just, we'll keep shit close and
everything's within arm, arms of reach. They'll all be homeschooled, technically. Have a great upbringing,
yeah. But they'll be able to, like, bounce around between, like, the bar to the casino to the strip club.
I just grabbed the domain and stuff for Colony Boys TV.
Oh, that's great.
Oh, hey, people are like,
what are you going to do when YouTube's done to pass it off to our kids?
You're going to be real degenerous with the upbringing they're going to have.
Cambering, strip clubs, and the bar.
All the necessities.
Cormorant does need a strip club, though, just saying, like, that plate,
it would pop off in the summer.
All the people run around here with money?
Can you imagine?
I would be great.
The ball is going to dance, but bad of the dancers.
We'd probably put you out there, Ben.
It'd be greasy.
Honestly, no offense to the locals.
Well, actually, I shouldn't say that because I can't even think of any local that would be like, yeah, I'd love to be a stripper.
We'd have to fly them in.
Might be worth the investment.
It's just another venture we could look out.
It's the most ridiculous visual is just like the 14 residents of Cormrott all in the strip club watching somebody who flew in from Vegas for $5,000.
And like, this is the life.
Well, we'd have been up there, though.
Yeah, true.
We'd have been, like, a little marble bag with his fucking,
whatever you got going on down there.
Yeah.
Speaking of marble bags.
Oh, geez.
Dude.
Pro, I could, for some reason, I was imagining you in a leather print marble bag, so.
You were imagining them just like.
Sorry, not leopard.
I meant leopard.
Leopard.
Sure.
That works, too.
Yeah, so there's this show that I've been watching.
Actually, I just watched.
I binged it last night.
I've been telling you to watch this for the past two weeks.
So good, dude.
Pam and Tommy.
It's on Hulu.
And it's the story of Tommy Lee, who's the motley crew drummer.
And Pamela Anderson, who is an actress in Baywatch.
And just like, she was just like known for being hot, basically.
Yeah.
Dude, it's the craziest story.
Yeah, it's just, I think it's really exciting for us because, like, for one,
they're doing a great job of, like, making the show.
But also, like, we know who Tommy Lee is from, you know,
watching the dirt.
and obviously listening to Motley crew music
but we didn't grow up in that time
where we got to watch it all happen in the moment
and obviously everyone knows what Pamela Anderson
and is whether you know what she looks like.
You've heard the name.
You just know she's like known for being hot basically.
Yeah, dude, you mentioned you were like,
dude, it was just genius of them.
Yeah, genius.
For both of their careers.
Yeah.
But when you watch it back in the Hulu documentary
or whatever you want to call it,
it's like they weren't even thinking about it from like a career standpoint they were just like
I think they're just maniacs they were just that crazy yeah and it and it shows dude he was like
the epitome of a rock star yeah living that rock star lifestyle just blowing money drinking
dude I was watching I was watching it thinking like no one acts like this anymore I feel you can't
yeah I've said it once before but cameras yeah you'd be freaking in trouble pretty quick you hear
stories about people back then and it's just like it's so much it's just like tears above what happens
yeah because you get away with so much yeah but but think about this they end up kind of getting
in trouble with i mean not necessarily probably helped them ultimately but in the time it seems
like it ruins their relationship because they have this sex tape and uh there's like this worker that
he doesn't pay ends up breaking into his house and stealing his safe and in the safe there's a sex tape
and it was like the first like viral celebrity sex tape because they're
put it on the internet it was like right it just happened to be like right in the pocket
of time when the internet was like this thing and no one knew what it was which it also makes
the show really interesting because it's like you know they're like what's the internet yeah and
then you know they show that and like the computers and how slow it was but it just took
off basically by by storm yeah it's it was really interesting hearing people talk about the internet
because they were like they were scared of it they had absolutely no idea it didn't
make any sense to them and they thought it was like useless almost you know and imagine thinking that
these days it's kind of like people think the same thing about like crypto and actually right right it's
kind of what people say about crypto right now yeah i think uh so CJ just kind of outed the show but also
not really not really i'm saying i think that was really important but yeah like how crazy is it that
they didn't understand the internet at all 1995 around when we were being born besides
Ben over here
But no, it is weird to think about
The internet was just the thing
And they're all like so intrigued by it
And now like imagine your life without it
It wouldn't even work
Dude when I
How fitting is it that the first thing
To blow up on the internet
It was a sex tape
I mean I think it was just one of the things
But yeah
It was like
I didn't even know that was a thing
Isn't it weird
Yeah
Well right we didn't like
We were young
But I do remember
It's funny because like
I see the computers on that show
And my dad had like
A computer
like that he was like one of the first people or not first people but he was probably one of the
early adapters to the computer so he had this old i don't i think it was a windows computer it was
white and it looked just like the ones in the show thing was like the biggest hunk of junk oh yeah
because he kept it for so fucking long and just like you were saying earlier every five years it's like
it's like it was like back then i swear it was like every year so like dude i swear it was like
2000 fucking three and we were I had to deal with this like
1994
like Windows computer that had dial up connection
and it was so slow
it had a handle you had to crank it didn't have that but it was so
fucking so it was literally useless it was complete garbage
what was like the first things you guys used to look up on the internet
or on the computer you get access to it so my family
do you guys remember addicting games
oh yeah that was the shit
I never could play it on my computer, but I'd go over, like, my friends.
I'd go to the library.
Because I had this fucking dial-up computer.
It was terrible.
Oh, it wouldn't even load.
Dude, it was useless.
So, like, for the record, you had an old computer dial-up doesn't make it any slower.
I stayed up, we had, like, a computer in, like, 2013.
So it was, like, a new laptop.
Like, plenty of speed and shit.
We still had dial-up.
We live in the country.
And so I'm like, this computer sucks, dude.
It's so slow.
It's just, like, tying up the phone line.
dude i can't make a call who even has landlines anymore though so it's like thing of the past
yeah it is crazy how far it's came in what 15 years 15 yeah so i mean back to the point of
doubling every two years yeah landlines are fun though fuck it we'll be on mars tomorrow let's do it
what was the first thing you ever searched up then uh dude i was on this oh do you guys remember
line rider yeah line rider that was big on that people still use that today uh i was really big
on, I was in second grade
and I wanted to get a pocket rocket.
It was like a...
Are you going to say something else?
It was like, hold on.
No, it was like a no.
Yeah.
Um, and then I, I just remember looking up like boobs.
Yeah.
Dude, you want, funny story.
I swear to God.
I don't know what grade I was and I was young, though.
And the very first, like,
bad thing I ever looked up was literally Pamela Anderson, boobs.
Actually?
How full circle is that?
No.
strange, yeah.
But, yeah, I was just like a little kid.
I had to have been fucking...
Why, why?
So, yeah, I was like, did you know if she was a...
It's just like a name you here.
I don't know.
It's just a name you here.
I'm not talking.
I think mine was probably the same thing.
Yeah, it was just a thing.
People would just, like, you heard, like, older people like,
oh, yeah, Pamela and you just type it right in on Google images.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dude, you'd get all sweaty.
Do you think kids still do that?
Or do you think they just dive into the deep out of the best of those kids probably got way too
much to look at it.
Oh, yeah.
accessibility is just bad for kids at this point it's like
was porn still a thing though back like way
I don't think you had videos I think I don't I don't fucking know
it just seemed like images on Google images
dude I think I you know how many people
how many people how many guys listening right now are probably like yo I did
everybody did who didn't yeah who didn't
that's might maybe Mike because he was at the library
but what did you know
were you living up boobs at the library
no
and then printing them off
printing him up bringing him home
I'd pay it's like 10 cents to print off a picture
the librarian just comes over like
oh what you print he's just like
it's fine
no no I did not do that
dude you can't go to the library
and do any of that
don't even just just stick to the script
at the library
just stick to what screen
this guy knows from experience
no I think my first thing was
MSN messenger
pop on there because that was way before you had a phone
what is that
it's uh i mean just a chat room but like it was on for me it was just only with my buddies
yeah or like or girls or whatever but like it was just like getting on xbox now you just get
on you guys gonna be on tonight that's what you that's what was it was called MSN messenger i thought
was something else at least that's what i use like it's like the modern day discord it was just
quick like boom boom boom yeah it was basic is instant messenger i thought it was called modern day group
chat to be honest you could just hop in because you could and you had to do that at the library
I did that at home dial-up.
Can you imagine?
I, like, tied up the phone lines.
Yeah, totally could.
Tied up the phone line so that I could talk to my friends that were at school that I
talked to all day.
Yeah.
I want to be a part of it, you know?
Yeah.
I was like the opposite, I guess.
I never saw the value in that.
But something that did work out in my favor was literally we canned our computer and got
Wi-Fi right in the perfect pocket of Halo 3.
So, like, I got an Xbox, had Xbox Live, and I got to play that in, like,
the old age totally kind of off topic but so you got rid of your computer and then got
Wi-Fi yeah well he got rid of that one got a new one that could yeah work with WIFA yeah
WIFA WIFA but yeah man we've came we've came so far yeah HAL 3 still goaded though that's
probably the greatest I know they shut down the servers like a month ago I saw so sad but I
actually started playing when we took like a slight break at the beginning of the year I
brought my Xbox one over here and like pay
paid for Xbox Live again, got back on my old account.
There was, like, friends that, like, I went to high school with.
They were, like, playing it.
And I hopped in there.
They were like, what the hell?
Like, and we were all chatting and, like, I was playing Halo, um, whatever the new one is.
And we played it for like, yeah, maybe.
And I played that for like, fucking week.
And I got bored.
And I was like, fuck this.
I got a kick out of walking, because I have to walk past CJ's office to get to mine over here,
right back here.
And, uh, I still think it was so funny when I'd walk by your office.
I just see your headphones sitting there and you'd be gaming and talking.
And I'm like, CJ on live right now.
Like, it was just so random to see.
Yeah, you run that kick for about a week.
Yeah.
Well, it was just, CJ's playing Xbox again.
Yeah, that's true.
No, it was got the same vibes.
The fun part was talking to them, but honestly, it just kind of got like old because it was
like, and there's nothing wrong against video games.
I think they're fun.
But I guess for me, it was like I had, I still have stuff I need to do.
And when I'm playing that, it's like, I'm,
I'm working at leveling up or getting this thing done,
but it doesn't matter.
It has nothing to do with real life.
No.
So it's like, sweet.
I just got leveled up and got this new thing or whatever.
That literally did not help me at all.
You got to take the fucking headset off and put the controller around
and then go do whatever else you're supposed to do.
And it's just like, eh.
So it was hard for me, but I used to be a huge gamer.
Like, fucking loved it.
Can you imagine making millions doing that?
I would love that.
That'd be great.
That's the most.
That actually sounds like.
the best form of income for entertainment it's tough though because they have to go for so long
yeah but i mean if you like playing video games and you like talking then it's and so i think
then again i don't know it's it's everyone's probably like oh i bet making youtube videos are so easy
and yeah exactly that's my point yeah so i think for the people that have the personality to do
it it's good but going back to wouldn't it be sick to make millions yes but like a lot of people
you either have to look at gaming as it's for fun or what you what you did
well it's not a job until it's a job like but looking at it that way is a high high risk once you start
once you start making money at something and you rely on it as your only source of income or your
main source of income it becomes job oh for sure what i'm saying it's like it's obviously if you
love doing that more than anything in the world it's still amazing but it it becomes job unless you
just make a fuck ton of money right away and you get to go fuck off but to achieve that still is big right now
yeah i think so huge oh yeah there's so many different ones
ways of streaming they have uh i was listening to stevo's podcast and he had annie milanacus on i don't know
if you guys remember oh i didn't listen to he used to have a m tv show uh back in like 2003 through i
think 2007 so wild and it was it ran in like the same era of vive leban and so as you can imagine
little cj that's like what i grew up watching um but dude he's so fucking funny his show had
so many funny bits it was also really weird though at times yeah but anyways he was like one of the
early pioneers he was before youtube he was putting like videos online and like people would like
just like youtube yeah and then youtube came out and i think he i think he got picked up for an m tv show
before youtube was really a thing because youtube was like what 2006 or seven something like that six
i don't know but i mean you know so he got picked up and got his MTV show but he streams nowadays
and what he does is it's called i rl streaming or live streaming and basically what it is
is they have this backpack on
and there's like a camera above their head
and they literally just fucking walk around
and interact and do things.
So IRL means in real life.
It doesn't show his face?
It does.
It's like it's really interesting, dude.
It's been going on for a while.
Well, because when he started streaming,
he actually used to just carry his phone around.
And I mean, at this point he has like a,
I'm not sure what it's called,
but like a chronic illness or disease
that makes him look and act.
or not, I don't know, act, but look younger.
That's my choice.
But he used to just walk around with his phone
streaming his whole day for like
10 hours, 5 hours.
But Andy Milanochus has a disease that basically
when he was like 35, he looked
like he was 16.
Yeah, something like you stay.
Yeah, it's really weird, but it made for an awesome TV show
because he'd look like, he probably looked younger
in 16, like fucking 14.
Yeah, but he's like fat.
So he looked like this fat little 14 year old
and they would do like these funny bits
where like he would be like selling beer at like a lemonade stand and like people would come
like you can't be selling this he's like get out of town lady like he would have funny
ass things that obviously a 14 year old couldn't come up with like funny jokes and then oh god
there's so many fun the lemonade beer stand bit is one of the best yeah i'd yeah he had this one
he had this one i'm going to stop here after that but he had this he had this one where uh he's like
out on the streets of New York, and he goes, I was like, hey, would you like to be in my interview?
And, like, they feel bad.
So they're like, oh, yeah, sure.
And then they're, like, sit down at this table.
And it's, like, on this busy sidewalk in New York, two chairs.
There's, like, this table, like a pitcher, a water and two glasses.
And they're like, all right, uh, what are we doing?
He's like, uh, well, ask me a question.
And then they'd be like, uh, so what are we doing out here in the cold?
And he'd just go flip the table and be like, this interview is over.
And, like, run off and, like, the people be just sitting there in this chair, like, don't know what to do.
And they were, like, walk away, like, just confused as fuck.
And I'm going to post that on my Instagram, actually, because that was the funniest shit.
Like, I remember rolling on the floor laughing at, like, this stuff.
Like, honestly, that is seriously what, like...
He was ahead of his time.
Those type of shows raised me, though.
Like, it's so weird.
Like, early, like, or mid-2000s, early 2000, MTV was the best.
Oh, yeah.
That was, like, YouTube nowadays, I feel like.
Yes.
You know?
I think one day ahead of now, 10 years, let's say.
I think CJ could be a producer.
Not could be.
I'm not saying you would be, but I'm saying like, yeah, like you grew up on it.
And now after doing YouTube, I think you could be a producer.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Or multiple good shows.
But for starters, many seasons of a really good show.
Thank you.
I don't know what it would be.
It's really funny because I've never thought about that until right now.
I was thinking about that.
The other day, I was like, God, what is, like, the one thing, you know, like, everyone's kind of got their thing, like, they get to, like, take away from our YouTube channel.
And it's, like, obviously, you're an amazing design.
Like, everyone's got traits, but it's like, what's your strongest thing?
And I was trying to think about that.
I was like, honestly, I think maybe just producing.
Like, I'm not necessarily, like, an amazing, amazing editor, but I'm, like, pretty good at, like, visualizing and making it come together on camera, maybe.
You've always had that like, whatever you call it, that like 30,000 foot view of like, this is what this is going to become.
And I don't know, you just always have such a great way of like laying out that path of like, okay, this is how we're going to get to exactly what it needs to be.
Dude, in the last podcast, when you guys were talking about jackass and how you guys all grew up on like jackass, that was, I was thinking the same thing.
I'm like, man, Siege, you have always, whether you intended to or not like, you were always so good at like spotting the things that this is going to be really.
funny if whether it goes good or bad
no matter what the outcome's going to be great and
your words are so like outcome focused
you would you would be a great producer
for thank you Justin yeah and your ability
to push through it yep like the
vision and then the ability to push
everywhere it's needed yep it's great
thank you appreciate that guys that's really nice
you to say you don't have to cry
dude
I think I'm going to start
we've gotten to the point
where
I think
this is good and bad
thing i think we run into this a lot where we can almost because we've been like making the
videos and editing and we kind of know like the behind the scenes of it you almost know right away
if it's going to be good or not and like we often catch ourselves like if something's not going
well almost just like almost giving up on it and just be like fuck it let's just do something else
like let's stop wasting our time let's think of something new whereas like micah and ryan
especially are like no let's just figure this out like
because we're already started like let's just do this and then most times after it gets put into
into post production and everything we're like damn this is actually yeah yeah you know so it's
like it's good the balance of that it's it's really good and yeah it was like a lot of times
those situations push for other situations that would never have happened it's really weird it's kind
like it's kind of like after we filmed the jet ski razor we were sitting there like frick we flew all the way
out here and shit wasn't cheap we filmed that video it was probably five minutes worth of the
content most of it was just impossible to film yeah it was just super hard and it was kind of like
all right that was that and we're like we got to make another thing out of this but we had no
connections in miami we really didn't have anything to do i was like honestly i feel like if we
just go to the beach and we have the camera i know some interesting characters are going to come
up to us and it literally just all happened right there in front of us yeah right but even before that
i remember we're literally all four of us just walking like no it's no plan no idea what to do we're just like
we're not vatali we're not ross creations we're not danny we're not whoever goes to the beach and
make shit happen but i mean i'm sure it goes for the same for them like they go there until
shit happens and then it did so that's super fun to do like if you're in a good vibe i feel like
shit just is so easy like i love it when we're like vibing like honestly like this podcast right
know everyone's in a good mood so it's just going really well it's just vibing yeah definitely and we have
justin on too because he's our boy vibes vibes doesn't you vibe in that it's because it's saturday
i'm vibed dude i'm vibed out dude it's because it's saturday how five are you i'm pretty vibed
honestly like seven out of ten vibes the vibe not bad hey uh when do you guys want to grab us
some schmidt yeah i was gonna say can we get a refill on the schmidt these guys are these guys drink
well justin well actually all of us we just started a couple weeks ago we switched over to smit not
not full time but well we found out
that all of us have
Shmits.
Wait, do all of us?
Yeah.
Our grandparents grew up on
Schmidt beer.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, but we also
are all related
to a Schmidt.
Yeah.
So, thank you.
Me and CJ's grandpa Ron.
It's our duty.
Me and CJ's Grandpa Ron,
who we surprised him
with the TV.
CJ smashed his TV
and then we came out with a new one.
Everyone loved Grandpa Ron.
He's a Schmidt.
That's his last name.
Thanks, Tommy.
Justin.
My mom was a Schmidt.
And then my mom's maiden name is Schmidt.
Yeah.
Dude, what?
Hey, cheers.
And they make a hell of a beer.
Hey.
You think we could get Schmidt to sponsor us?
Probably, maybe.
Maybe. That'd be lit, dude.
That'd actually be pretty detrimental to our health.
Yeah, then we have to start drinking Schmidt beer.
Oh, God.
That's what I was going to say.
So, like, the vibes are high because we got a big old, like, we have a good night plan.
We got a great audience out here right now, as you saw from the drone footage earlier.
But on top of that, you know, like, we have a fun time ahead of us.
Like, nothing too serious.
We're going to hop in the limo.
Bowling, go bowling, go to the golf simulator.
We got a case of Schmitts.
I'm going to bring the camera with just because I feel like it's going to be.
If you shoot as many strikes, so CJ shoots a strike that I get on video.
And then he goes, well, video the next one, I'll get another strike.
And then you're like, video the next one, I'll get another strike.
And he took your shirt off for that one.
And I was like, no, I respect it.
Then you get the strike.
And I was like, do whatever you want, man.
And then he takes his pants off for the next one.
Doesn't get a strike because he falls face first.
I was going on.
Imagine if he would have.
And either way,
you got to go balls out on the next one.
Is what a three strikes called.
A turkey?
Not bad.
I was going for five.
No,
I got four.
I got four in a row.
You got four in a row.
And it was weird because you just naturally took your phone out.
But then that's why I kept escalating.
I was like,
well, fuck,
I took my shirt off for that one.
It was crazy.
And then he had like no clothes on and he was just flinging balls everywhere.
But now we got blacklisted from that bowling alley.
We got to switch it off.
up now, though.
To a difference.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We got blacklisted.
We're going to a different one.
We got blacklisted from the last one.
They did not.
I do have a slight concern, though, because it's like, I mean, we fucking tear it up when
it comes to golfing.
On the golf carts, we tear it up.
Oh, shit.
Should we bring our own golf cart?
Yeah, I don't probably.
It's an indoor golf simulator.
That's such a good video idea.
Holy cow cart to bring indoor golf simulator.
We got it.
They have like double wide doors.
We're like, probably, you're like, in your gear, you got your clubs.
They're like, oh, what are you doing?
Yeah, I'm going, I got the golf simulator at 630.
Nobody steal this.
Let's do that.
That's good.
Just keep playing dumb, too.
That's so good.
If we could get somebody at the, wherever we go in on it, that we could get the golf cart inside.
Dude, yeah, I'm very excited for a golf simulator.
I've never done a golf simulator before.
I thought I was okay at golf because you guys, you had the golfing videos.
I'm like, yeah, I should get, I should get decent at golf.
You bought a golf simulator?
So I just built a golf simulator in my bait.
No.
I went golfing.
I am atrocious.
Can't be worse than me.
It's going to have to get insurance.
I didn't need to interrupt.
No, head to head tonight on who can score a worst golf simulator.
The golf simulator is so different.
I don't really like them for the record.
It is a little weird, but it's fun because it's more so just chilling.
Ryan and I went to one in the city's a while back.
Shout out Ryan.
Shout out of Ryan.
There he is.
Just walking in.
So, yeah, that's kind of our plan for a night.
Should we have Alex hop on?
Yeah, I was going to say, so we got, there's a lot of people commenting about, like,
you should have, like, your girlfriends on or your dad or whoever.
So we brought my girlfriend's dad.
We got my girlfriend, Alex, in the crowd tonight.
Do you want to come on up, babe?
Taking my schmits with me.
Oh, actually, no, no, no, we were going to have CJ step out.
I just leave.
We all get up, all the girlfriends take over.
That would be interesting.
That would be interesting.
I don't know if any, what would we talked about.
This is a little test run, I guess, mostly, but also keeping casual.
You guys match, though, so that I like that.
Yeah.
We got sand, desert tangling.
What's up, baby?
Oh, hello.
How's it feel?
Kind of overwhelming, but I'm glad I'm next to my Benny.
Just got to talk right into the mic, and you're good to go.
Okay.
The subtle direction.
All right, so those of you guys that don't know, this is Alex, C.J.'s girlfriend.
I got to, like, get used to hearing you guys through this.
Yeah, you got talking more into the mic, though.
And definitely hearing yourself.
I mean, that's talked to it all the time.
Everyone's like, is that what I sound like?
Yeah.
You get used to it, but not in one podcast.
I love it, dude.
I do, too.
It makes you feel very immersed into the conversation.
Like, just say something in the mic bed.
I feel like a lot of girls don't like their voice, though.
They always say, I think a lot of people.
I think most people, I don't know if I'd say that's like a girl thing.
I think most people are, once they, especially if you hear it back on video,
then like talking to a.
camera and then watching that back like uh most people like oh i hate that and that's taking us a long
time now we're so used to it i think it's oh yeah well it's it's the laugh on camera well the laugh is
tough because if you're so into the moment then you don't you don't think about it and you might
just let out just the most atrocious laugh and you listen to it back and you're like holy
is that what i sound like that does happen a lot with us like in a group i cut that out a lot of
times editing because I'm like dude I was listening to this I would be like man these guys are
fucking annoying yeah but in the moment we're just like hysterically laughing and you can't help it
that's one thing you too have in major common is the hyena laugh and I don't say it like it's a bad
thing because you guys when you laugh really loud high pitch it's obviously whatever's going on
it's so funny yeah I think it's important though I think it is too and my favorite thing is that
you also do this editing I don't have this I'm not like loud like that when I'm editing
even if it's the funniest thing I'm just like laughing but you guys are laughing out loud
I can hear you from your office and I can hear you from your office and I love it because I go
of course if it's funny that's the best that's the best that's always a good when you're
you're just dying Ryan and I Ryan and I can you know downstairs and we go
tonight's going to be a good video yeah usually if CJ's laughing out loud I'll get out in
this floor creak so yeah you got to watch let me see this and the same with
I'll be laughing.
I'll hear C.J. Popp is head in.
What are you adding right now?
That's the best.
All right.
So, Alex, we basically just wanted to have you on here to interrogate you and make you feel incredibly uncomfortable.
Please do not.
I'm just kidding.
I'm joking.
That's what she was worried about.
I was.
No, we just wanted you to come on to give.
I think people are always curious what, like, the, what the girlfriend's point of view.
Point of view and think of, I mean, I don't know, just like everything.
that goes on around here yeah and you've you've been a part of how long you guys been together like
three years now three years so you got you were around a little bit before that even and yeah you know
so you've been a part of it since relatively the beginning so like a good question would be um
that you know like we're pretty closed off like as far as like ben micah like we kind of stay here
we don't really we don't talk to a lot of people i don't know like outside like um so like what's like the
what's like your friend's take on on like the YouTube thing like how do they when you tell people like
oh I'm dating a YouTuber like how is the how's the take it's really hard to explain honestly I think it's
really hard for you guys to explain what you guys do or like the types of videos that you guys do
and then amplify it by 10 when someone asks me about it because I'm like oh I can't explain this at all
really you think it's more hard for you to explain yeah sometimes
it is absolutely what do you tell people um you know i just say like i kind of go like the creator route
i don't know you just say i'm a creator they're influencers god i think okay i don't know well i feel like they
a lot of the attention for the girlfriend or at least a significant other oh he's a YouTuber and then
the next question might be they make it money i feel like no they either know who we are or they think
we're bums yeah or they ask like oh do they do that full time yeah like yeah how does that work so
here's a funny story about this so Alex just recently I don't know a month or two ago got a new job right
I'm not gonna say where it works just for purposes of that but anyway so they all like go out
well not even that but just I don't know anyways they go out to this like team dinner thing
really fucking nice restaurant like this guy bawled out like he
He treats his employees really, really, really well.
But I was going to be late because I had to finish editing a video,
upload it, and then drive an hour in Fargo to go.
So we walk into this nice-ass restaurant.
Of course, I have to be like, I barely ever dress up.
So I'm, like, trying to find my dress clothes, like throw it on.
I feel like I look like shit.
And I come in late.
Yeah, exactly.
It was like this super, super nice dinner.
And that's where it gets hard to explain because I'm just like,
he literally doesn't have a choice to be late right now.
Like, however long it takes him to edit a video is how long it's going to do.
they just don't get it either but uh anyways she had already told everyone at her work that i was
like this YouTuber and they kind of like picked up on it like they received it pretty well i thought
yeah absolutely i mean they were all they all thought it was super cool but i think they've all seen
you previously like before but so then i think they looked me up or whatever yeah but so i show
up and like i was just so it like there's this the question that came up was so you drove a uh
a car through the car wash today or something like that or i don't know
know why and I was just like god damn it like the fucking worst example of like what kind of content
what you do yeah I was like god damn it like it just sounded so like stupid yeah so stupid the way
they were like and then they're like uh the guy goes well tell me more you know like because
they're interested so I try to explain and I do I don't know why it was like the one time in my
life I got nervous and she even noticed I got nervous like I could feel my face getting red
and I just did a god awful job of explaining what we do here what did you say I don't fucking know I blacked out
I rambled that nervous he absolutely blacked out I've never seen him like be so timid of explaining
what he does or like how it like how he does it and he got really nervous I don't know why but then again
it was like something that was so new to me too so I get done like telling all these people whatever
the fuck I was jabbing on about and then I come back to earth and I look around I'm like
Everyone's got an even more confused face on, and it was just quiet.
Oh, shit, dude.
God, damn it, dude.
Yeah, it was pretty fun.
God, damn it.
And it's like you, of course, you were trying to be respectful on one,
but it was a guy that you weren't necessarily trying to impress.
No, I was just trying to be cordial.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That night was to blend in.
I wasn't even going to talk.
I was going to shut my mouth and sit there and be here.
How do you, yeah, I mean, how do you explain it for most people to one,
make sense of but to respect in the slightest way
without coming off like a total asshole and just be like
we get this mini subscribers and all this shit
there's no way to do that you have to watch the video
and get the that's the other thing is people don't get it
without watching it because they don't know the dynamic
yes and they don't know that we're not just we're not just
it's more like a group of friends and the camaraderie
car through the car wash just just do it like that's our big stunt
like it's like no it's it there's a story
behind it 10 who's one of the members that you will not understand within the first 40 episodes
you have to watch like 100 to even understand the guy and then like it's just not I don't know
and I did a terrible job of explaining because I was trying to just keep it as simple as possible
and yeah it was pretty it was pretty embarrassing and what did you do Alex were you just
there like she was just like this I honestly just started drinking my espresso martini so
quick because I was like oh my gosh I've never seen him get nervous before so now what though
do they understand it? Do they watch it? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Literally, I think as soon as someone,
like, even anyone that I talk to, like, about, like, my boyfriend or things like that and they
don't know, like, who he is or what, like, you guys do. As soon as, like, they watch a video or something,
then it, like, clicks in their head. They're like, oh, like, they're YouTubers.
I like that. I think usually it does take, like, one video. But, yeah, I think it's really
hard for people to understand that you guys do it full time. It's so weird to think, though,
dad too i feel like at the start yeah god damn they were so confused oh i literally thought i didn't have a job
i think any parent right away would just be like okay what does he do like what kind of job is that
does he make a job i don't think like can he make a living yeah they just thought i was fucking around
like this is just something we did for fun yeah and it's like but not like now you're saying but
no now they now they understand but you know yeah it's hard i think for people to perceive
All right, I got something so crazy right now for Alex.
Oh, my God.
It's more bad for me than it is for you.
My face is going to get so red.
All right, so I don't follow Alex on Instagram.
That is rude.
Right?
But I think it is rude.
I promise you it's rude.
So I think at one point you followed me and I think you unfollowed me, which I was happy about.
So to preface the story
I don't know if I followed you before
Like I know it follows whatever
A big deal
Like not a big deal
But anyway
I feel so bad about it
My ex-girlfriend
Had a little bit of beef
With you
Like where the fuck is this going?
I guess what I'm saying is
Keep going
I'm interested
I'm interested
Like
I like my
Like
I'm not going to preface it
But like I think at one point
I unfollowed you
Because I think at one point
I did follow you
Anyway
Oh, she straight up made you unfollow her?
That's why she's your ex-girlfriend.
I don't think that's the case.
But anyway, I don't follow Alex, and I haven't for a long time,
and I felt really bad about it.
So it's like, why don't you just randomly follow her?
But at that point, when I noticed it was, like, too late.
And so it's like, well, why don't you just randomly follow her?
So I was waiting for, like, a funny time like this, not particularly for this moment.
You're going to follow me.
Yes, I'm going to follow you.
You don't even have to follow me back.
Can you imagine if you were just sitting here and I had my phone out, and it just said,
Micah, Sam, and followed you.
Oh, wait, you still don't follow him?
not right i think she unfollowed me but i'm saying for a good reason i'm sure she came across me
one day and goes damn micha doesn't follow me and then like unfollowed me did you know that did you know
just say you know i didn't yeah i know oh you do know no no say i was like say you know i want
hold up do you know or not i'm so confused i don't know oh you didn't know who gives a fuck about
anyway anyway so you didn't know i'm that's what i'm getting at like a fall is a follow but i'm saying
in our group, like, I felt so bad, but I noticed this, like, six to seven months ago.
Yeah.
And I was like, it is kind of like a big family.
Like, yeah, like, it's like you got all of us because we always have to be together.
And then you got, like, the girlfriends are coming in.
And then, I mean, for most part, they're all friends.
It's a way out of your shoulders.
The group right now is.
But, uh, well, dude, there's been a couple renditions of the, the family that have not
meshed.
Yeah.
to say it lightly.
Yeah.
That was awesome.
It was pretty entertaining.
That was a confession.
I feel,
I feel ready.
Glad we clear the air there.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I was super mad about it.
I felt a little tension there.
So is it hard dating CJ being that he's an idiot and all?
It's a challenge when it comes to like scheduling and things like that.
But honestly, it's the moms.
Like moms love my boyfriend.
honestly that's hard yeah have you guys ever seen this guy at a bar and moms come around
i have they love him he's a he's a mommy magnet so yeah definitely the big the biggest challenge i
would say is you know the moms i think that's a good thing are you like there could be worse challenges
but absolutely i'm not going to disagree does that worry you clear oh i was like clearly a little
bit yeah that you guys nothing to worry about that doesn't worry you i mean sometimes they
are really hot moms that doesn't matter though no it does not worry me no but actually though besides
for the moms um i would say a lot of people probably again don't really get like the schedule
thing like you guys can't make it to like a lot of your girlfriends like family events sometimes or
you know certain i don't know events or holidays i think that is definitely a big one like whether
thanksgiving or christmas like you guys aren't able to just like come to all of like our family like
dinner and things like that and it can be really hard i think what you're saying also is just like
we're always got to be ready at like the drop of a dime like like you might be like oh we got like an
opportunity to film this really quick like for example back to miami like we found out in and
literally an hour later scheduled the plane ticket or the flights and left the next hour it was like
she thought i was coming home that night and then nope i'm going to my amy yeah exactly so it can it can
be a challenge like why because it's like so you feel like in the dark or why is
is it why is it why is that i think it's just probably hard i don't know sometimes when like plans change
really quick it can be like it can like feel overwhelming or something when he was just like oh
we're going to go to florida tonight i'm like oh okay like that's a bummer but like of course
i know that like it's for a video so i totally get that but right away when like we first started
dating it can be really hard to like grasp that and like just be like oh okay like this is how
his schedule's going to work and it's going to be all over the place and i like you know
and supposed to be like supportive of it but like now it's much easier to just kind of like go with the flow
it's probably especially because like where we're at it's like everyone kind of has a pretty set and
stone schedule like around our neck of the woods like yeah you know so most people have like they come
home at 530 and like we watch we make dinner and then we watch tv and go to bed you know yeah so everyone else
is doing that like plan of vacation together like as a couple or things like that but like all of you guys
have to kind of figure that out, you know?
So I would say that can be a challenge.
What is like your first thoughts when we first started dating?
You know, you like started coming around.
Were you just like, what the fuck is going on?
I want to preface that me and Alex have known each other since I was like eight years old
and you were like 12.
We have a picture of, yeah, like we were like little kids and we've known each other
for so long.
So then the fact that we kind of obviously went to.
college and because she was friends with my sister and we like kind of you know didn't see each other
forever and then you started talking to cj my cousin and business partner and you like to start
hanging around us i was like Alex anchor it was honestly so weird because it's just so random
so close like friend groups wise but like we had never hung out or like met each other or
things like that and so it was kind of actually weird when we met and i saw her at a bar and
I walked up.
Yep.
And I asked him actually on our first date,
on a party bus with all of my friends.
And he came wearing baggy dress clothes.
I know it's hilarious.
Couldn't fucking find my dress clothes, dude.
So he's wearing his dad.
I was wearing, like, literally the fucking worst.
Absolutely bring up a photo right now.
You need to see this baggy.
Where you're dead.
Yeah.
Well, for one, how much that suck?
Like, I'm sitting here.
It was back when we print her own shirts.
And she asked me to go on this party bus.
Cold called me up.
And I was like, I mean, yeah, sure.
She's hot.
I'll come with.
so like I was like and then I don't hear anything from her for like the next full day and then it's like I was supposed to meet her at like six o'clock or seven o'clock and I'm still printing shirts I texted her in the middle of day you didn't respond so I was like oh maybe we're not doing it anymore whatever I'll just keep working and then you text me when I got like an hour to be there and I'm already an hour away from Fargo so like I was like God damn it drop everything hop in the car speed all the way town can't find my fucking dress clothes throw my dad's on and I I show up
I don't know who the fuck dresses up for a party bus.
But I'm like, who are these kids?
They were like men, but men and women.
But who are these guys?
They must be some high class people.
So I show up in like literally the worst dress clothes ever.
I look like shit compared to everyone else.
I didn't know how to tie a tie.
I know how to tie now.
But I didn't know how fucking tie a tie.
So I just like, fuck it.
We're running without.
And yeah, I mean, it still worked out, I guess, in my favor.
I think so.
I think it did.
Yeah, it did.
But I mean, and I know you spoke on.
one podcast about this
but we originally
I just remember it so vividly for some reason
like it was one of my core memories
we're at the Fargo Dome big arena in Fargo
and it was cold
and you were trying to film a video bit
and you go man should I call this girl
that I've kind of kind of kind of
I just met her
I just met you at like a bar
like the weekend before and you were wearing this like
fur coat and you had your nails done
like very like you know
done up and I was like man that girl would hate coming to monster jam I should invite her that
would be a funny bit so I like tried inviting you to like get you to come like an hour before
and then she's like I can't I can't swing it but it would have been amazing imagine like and I wasn't
even planning on she was just like I'm gonna bring her here and it's gonna be a funny ass bet you
she gets swooped up by the grave digger yeah no I actually I would have but my hair was like
kind of greasy oh that's why you didn't go no yeah 100% otherwise I would
I think it was.
We just asked like, I mean, do it.
I needed a shower, Ben.
Like, sometimes girl's hair.
Ben's like, imagine how do you get greasy hair?
Imagine how legendary that would have been.
If I could, we could have been like, yeah, our first date, CJ took me in a monster jam.
It would have been.
And it would have happened.
So funny.
Yeah.
But it's so funny that you asked me.
Yeah, I guess.
And you did.
I remember you like calling her.
Yeah, you did call me.
Yeah.
I remember standing in my kitchen being like, oh.
Monster jam?
This is weird.
Why?
that that you thought it was weird no and then i also took it obviously insulting because i was like
oh this guy invited me on this date just to like make a fool out of me because he knows that i
would like maybe look out of character because you know you did say we're going to be filming
i mean that was kind of my goal but i didn't know you at the time i knew why you were doing
you just appeared like you shouldn't be there at monster gym yes it would have been funny i love the
honesty yeah amazing could you see yourself Alex ever
becoming more of like a character in our videos?
Absolutely not.
No, I'm not as creative as you guys.
You don't have to be.
You're just the character.
You just get involved whether you like it or not.
Just like Mark and Tint and Ken.
Yeah,
he doesn't want to do this.
I've had a couple people come up with you.
You think he wants to be here.
I've had a couple people come up to me like girls and say like that I'm funny.
But I think it's just funny because like in most bits that I am in the videos,
it's like me being mad or something.
Yeah.
Like, you know, at one time when you.
Oh, you guys tell the story really well, too.
Yeah.
You know, like, yeah.
One time I put chickens and goats.
I mean, it's chickens.
In the boys' new house, if you saw the video.
They were mad, but they thought it was funny.
More funny than mad.
Alex was like 99% mad, one percent funny.
I was mad because I cleaned.
She was in tears.
I cleaned the day before, right?
He had just, scary.
Yeah, like you guys had just thought the house.
cleaning. Yeah, and I spent a full day cleaning. I'm not kidding. I wiped the walls.
Like, that's everything. She was working really, really hard. I rewiped them. Yeah, I mean, you guys cleaned up.
I, yeah, I remember walking in the house and I was so mad. I left and, like, I cried. And then it, like, has, like, a shot in the video of me, like, peeling out of the driveway.
Well, I guess that's that. Everyone thought, like, for sure it was fake. And I was like, no, like, I was very mad. And I was absolutely over it. I, I saw Alex when I was going back to the house.
and she was doing a solid 70 miles an hour down our, like, 30 mile an hour road.
Well, Ken, don't incriminate her.
Allegedly.
So I was like, okay, something's up here.
I wasn't mad until she was mad.
And then she was mad.
And I was like, God damn it.
You guys just pissed off my girlfriend.
Yeah, exactly.
I remember that.
I cleaned it, though.
Yeah, yeah.
It was all cool.
You watched the carpets and everything.
And I didn't go that far.
And, well, you blocked off the bathroom.
I think I was mad because I envisioned.
chicken chickens crawling over like the bathtub and like the sink and everything and I think that's
what like really just made me mad but then you were nice enough to block off the bathroom so
that was good what can I say right that was uh now it's down in history yep pretty sure someone
put it in their book yeah but again best prank I don't know what book but somebody book definitely
something that a lot of girlfriends don't go through so right it's just it's different but
now I've learned to definitely go with the flow and like it's just all part of part of it and
Most of it is really fun.
That's good.
That's good.
Yeah, you get to have a fun time.
Isn't it fun dating someone?
No, it is.
Where you never know what's going to happen next.
It is.
Yeah, I mean, you take the good with a bad, but obviously it's got to be more good.
Yes, absolutely.
Right.
I mean, it's fun.
Right.
Can you imagine going back to a, uh, like, no, I already know what you're going to say.
Like a nine to five guy.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Wouldn't it.
It'd probably be nice in some aspects.
Don't get me wrong.
But.
No, it's so fun hanging out with all of you guys.
And I don't know, like, I see all of you as, like, my close friends now.
And I get very, like, protective over you guys and, like, your channel and, like, things like that.
I don't know.
I think I've definitely gotten protective over it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was just going to say that.
You're invested.
Because I see how hard you guys work.
And so, like, yeah, if someone uses the word, like, stunt or, like, for instance, like, oh,
they're stupid video, not stupid videos, but, like, they're stupid ideas, like, crazy ideas.
I'm like, no, you guys don't understand, like, how much thought.
went into that video or like how many outcomes like they had to like think about like okay like
if we do this if we do that you know so thank you thank you thanks it's cool to hear from you because
you're nice to hear you're one of the i mean 10 people that really see it maybe less i'd say exactly
so there's there's so much thinking and yeah people think that like when you guys do jumps or
something it's just winging it but it's very calculated i would say well i don't know if i go
okay not calculated but you guys i don't know about jumps yeah
So I definitely find myself getting protective over, you know, people saying things about your videos, if it's ever negative.
Not that it is.
Thank you.
That is nice to hear, actually.
Yeah.
It is.
Well, we got to get bowling.
So sorry to cut the podcast early.
Oh, yeah.
Shit, we got to leave.
Literally one minute.
Did you fire the limo up?
Oh.
Oh, that's cool, baby.
So Alex, seriously, thanks for coming on.
I know, you know, my face got a little red.
I don't know.
Oh, wait.
I have one more question.
Whoa.
Whoa.
What, uh, did you watch the, did you watch a YouTube video of ours before you started dating?
No, I didn't.
And everyone finds us shocking.
I still remember not like barely watching your guys.
I feel like normally like if someone starts like potentially talking to someone, they like scope
them out on social media.
I have a hard time believing that.
No, I, no, I feel really mean.
Obviously Instagram.
Like we follow each other on Instagram.
But I'm not kidding you.
I remember when we first.
started seeing each other and i didn't watch the videos i don't know why that might
have been better you were never just like maybe all well i'm not doing anything for 15
minutes i'll watch what this guy is all about that's funny actually i don't know yeah all right
we got we're going bowling those schmits are hitting my brain just quit all right we got
we got 630 t time at the golf simulator we're not we're not bringing the golf car this
