Whoa. What the heck's why with this wheel? Oh. Oh. Did someone smash this thing? No, but I did break it. How do you manage to break a chair, Mike? Well, when you needed to eat hot dogs, you and Ryan, I wanted you to have comfy chairs and I'm bringing them down the stairs.

And I'm like, huh, not bad. I only broke one of the ten wheels on the chairs. Man, Ryan, you have been, you guys have really put in some work over here. You got broken chair and a broken mic. Oh, geez. Yeah, I didn't even notice the zip ties. Yeah, we're switching it up a little bit. It's interesting having Ryan over here and Ben over there.

Yeah, this is nice. We'll see how long I'll last over here until CJ kicks me out because we bump knees the whole thing. Yeah, we're both spreaders. Oh, true. We just sit really wide and it's just not a good combo. Like, even like if we're sitting in the backseat of like a pickup together. Yeah, it's bad. I know.

I will agree. Yeah, normally the third man is is the one who ends up getting it the worst. Yeah. Because we both just spread. I feel like with the group you have strategic people that you want in different positions of your life. and I would say being in the back of the truck or maybe even sleeping in a bed. Ben is his predator in bed.

Like his legs, Jesus. His like legs are going sideways. Don't drag me into this, Ryan. Yeah, you want to share like the backseat with Micah or a bed of Mike. Even Ken do not want to sleep with Mike.

If we have to, if we're staying at a hotel. No. Not that there's anything. You just snores so loud. You can't even share the room with them. Yeah, but the thing about sleeping.

next to Mike, though, in the same bed as if he is snoring, you can shake him and the dude sleeps so hard he'll just stop snoring, but like doesn't wake up. It's like a Yeah. It's amazing. I just tell you, yeah, I was like, go over there, light kick,

light shove and I should stop. Yeah, but it's like you gotta get out of bed go and shove you like roll you over. Yeah. Yeah, but Mike doesn't also like fall asleep until like two hours after everyone else. So you should be like pretty deep into your sleep at that point. That's true. Mike, your sleep schedule is so messed up.

Annihilated. Dude, I like see the cameras of you up at like 8 a.m. It's crazy. Not getting up for the day, though. Dude, how are you like functioning and then waking up? Because usually we'll like start filming at like 10 and we'll wake you up at 10. How are you functioning on two hours at sleep? It's pretty rare that I get only two hours of sleep, but you do it.

I still feel like you get the sleep in. You just get it in at a different hour. There was one time last two weeks ago And I was working on the merch drop That I legitimately got two hours of sleep And it was brutal And it felt so weird the next day But if it's like four

Four and a half to five hours of sleep Totally good Weird that I do it from You know five to ten But It's a weird schedule man That's not always how it is But

I feel like it's just a creative mind Like it's always Yeah when I get checked in on my computer It's just that's I hate it to be honest but that's when my productivity is at its peak. It's so weird. Me and CJ used to edit the videos like entirely by ourselves,

so I would take one and then he would take one like the next week. When we would do that, we would have to spend basically like 24 hours straight editing. You could start at like 7 p.m. on a Wednesday night and you'd edit basically for the next 24 hours straight. A legit cannot believe that you guys did that for years. For years. And then eventually we just got to the point.

We were like, dude, this makes no sense for one of us to do. do the entire thing and then when we're editing like the other one's just like chill and kind of just like a waste of time for the other person but ever since yeah it started splitting way more refined now yeah it's more refined and the quality of the edits are like way better because you're not running on zero sleep trying to be creative i felt like it was the old days though just so last video uh when we were preparing for our black friday drop ben and i were both here editing at until 6 a.m. Yeah, we were here until 6 a.m. That was the funniest thing, too, because I'm here too working.

I go, I'm going to work as long as they work. I already know I'm going to be up late. And it's like, here comes four. Damn, dude, I might go to bed. Here comes five. Here comes six. And I was like, dude, now they're out walking around. I'm going to bed.

They got a second wind. I didn't. They did. Yeah, I was driving home and there was people jogging. I was like, huh, man, this is odd. I've done that in a while. That was sweet. It feels good to just see everybody grinding,

which obviously for Black Friday to make everything happen, we had to grind, and it was so fun. Yeah. It was fun to see. You got Cody in here helping. Everybody comes together. It's so awesome. I was thinking, do they still do, like,

they obviously still do, like, Black Friday sales at, like, brick and mortar stores, so, like, Walmart or, you know, wherever. Do they still do it, like, where they just open the door? They have it way more. Because you never see the video as though, like people getting tramped like people would get messed up that was like the biggest thing it was like Thanksgiving 6 o'clock getting trampled just trying to save 100 bucks on TV I think I think it came and went

because all these companies had to fix it they bit off more than they could choose so it it like started for a while it was just like midnight no it wasn't midnight it wasn't black Friday started like 6 a.m yeah and then they started moving it to midnight and then people were like starting to and then it was getting earlier 7 p.m. on Thursday that's eating in people's Thanksgiving so anyway it just got so ridiculous that people were like eh also who's going to a store to like you might as well just go on amazon or walmart dot com wherever and just get the sale there get the same probably same price things have changed but then he's going to ship you yeah i don't know i was thinking about that because you never see those videos anymore

no that had to have happened for a really long time because that was like the rage for i don't know i remember it like in when i was in like middle school yeah i was just like i'd like go with like my friends or like their parents and just just because I was like this is going to be lit like everyone like saying me and my me and my buddies would stay up all night of course because they're getting early and early we would go to fargo and just drift around in the parking lots until the stores of course you open wait wouldn't there be a bunch of vehicles in the parking lot like not really you know just the vehicles of the people that are standing in line but it's not feeling the parking lot up per se so no joke just go drift around I love finding out about

Mike's like troubled past Troubled. His bad boy passed. Back when he was drifting in parking lots. His Buick LaSabre. And his one friend smoked a marble red when he was 15. Whoa. He died.

So where's the little weasel? He's downstairs working. Okay. Got his tail between his legs. A little rat. Does his haven't admitted that he's a weasel yet? No. He hasn't.

So he still thinks he's good. a weasel or not you just are one yeah but has he admitted to his fault or does he still think that he he went home for thanksgiving so in the video the whole reason that i got my nipples pierce which i lost fair and square but we had to run because evan chimed in and altered the whole competition and he was supposed to get his his peers with me that was part of it and no he's not yeah and it was weird because like before we we didn't see the footage so i i was like i swear i remember him saying like Like, if I win, you guys got to both get it done. But I didn't want to, like, fully, like, lean on them.

But then I saw, obviously, when it got chopped up. So he's caught red-handed. It's tough because he, I think he did say that. But he didn't win. I feel like if you hop in a competition. He threw up. That's also true. Yeah.

Either way, I don't know. I don't know. I don't be getting his nipples beers. I think, I think he got into it. I will admit, I definitely. I definitely may have chopped a couple things out of the videos that basically just made it like more blurry of like, well, was he a part of it or not? Uh-huh. But I think, no, he definitely knew what he was getting into.

And then as soon as he found out that he had to, there was consequences. There was consequences. That's when he backed out. And it's like, I don't know. I just think it's like super weasily. I can already see it now Bust in the nipple shop again With Evan

With Evan I can already see it now I don't know how it's going to happen But like I'm feeling I'm sensing some The universe is pushing him Towards the second nipple piercing

But the main thing I can't believe Is just that rhyme beat me in a race I don't know what the hell dude I gave up But also I don't know where you pulled that out It's like this dude Developed some superpowers

When we were running bro i haven't ran in probably since i think it just middle school basketball it had to it just came down to you legit just didn't want it more than me 100% and i don't know how much you didn't want it but i really did not want it i could feel it when we were running stride in stride it sounds so funny the way you guys are explaining it like you wanted the win but the way you're explaining i was running so hard like i did not want it i did not want the consequence it was like there was a person chasing me imagine how funny it would have been it would have been such a dick move but when we were running next to each other i thought about tripping you i thought about it too i thought about it was so funny

for the video but then it was just like fudge like that'd be i don't know it's like it'd be like cheating or like i thought about pushing you into like the ditch yeah thought the same thing too trying to like jam you up when we're at the mailbox but i was just so focused on not throwing up after eating five hot dogs and then running half a mile sprinting half a mile but dude it you know in the video it happened so fast but we for about a little under a quarter mile were stride in stride right next to each other like it was a very like ricky bobby moment that's right the music was going finish line i love the way that you edit it like it was already lit and looked like yeah that was the best part of the video i thought when we were running in the

flashbacks it's like this is all on the line right that's when i was fully engaged i was like I am really disappointed in myself that I stopped like I don't know I just thought I had more willpower than that I normally do it's just like the circumstances I don't know what the fric happened dude I gave up and I'm honestly pretty embarrassed about that I quit yeah like I could have at least there was just so many factors I could have been there I could have been I could have beat you I also at least could have been like at least right behind you I'm just so disappointed and myself for stopping running. Dude, I think if you would, if you would,

no, he was, he was ahead. You had the head start. But I gave up or I had started to give up on the run and you were like 25 feet ahead of me. I was so far ahead of him at the start. It wasn't on camera, but yeah. And I can tell you probably in your head were like, wait, like if I don't actually, if I lose this race, like, there's no like, yeah, but Evan Hopp, there's none of that. It was game over.

It was also a little bit demotivating for me because I was thinking to myself, okay, he beat me in the backup challenge and he beat me technically in the hot dog eating competition and then it kind of got screwed up with like Evan hopping in if I win this like it'd be really it'd be kind of lame which you beat me or a comeback victory yeah you beat me but like it would have been like we just spend the rest of the day doing challenges I felt like you ultimately won everything but also you did outrun me like I just I you I don't know why I quit I was probably we were when we were running next each other there was like one time you kind of like misstepped and you fell back like six inches and then you did it again yeah that's right and so that literally right there i was like

all right i got this and i kept going that's awesome if that hadn't happened i don't know how many how much longer i could have kept at that rate yeah that was electric that was fun that was like an inhumane it felt very wrong the entire when i was running i was thinking this is inhumane yeah it really was dude every single challenge i guess not the backup challenge but especially like the uh longest to last in the water challenge that one just felt like Like, I was like really mean for doing that to you guys. That was great. You got your payback.

It definitely had like fear factor vibes. Yeah. You know, just nasty challenges. Yeah. That show was crazy. Like they would have people upside down, like strapped in a car under, like, like, be underwater, dude. Like I for, I could not do that.

I could probably hold my breath for, let's say, 40 seconds right here. But if I was in that situation, I'd be five seconds to be like panicking, dude. I'd go, I just, I'm not a water guy. Did you ever get hurt on that show? I think I'm sure they had. Is that the first, is that the first experience you had? That's funny. I use that word with Joe Rogan.

Yeah. Like, it was back when he's everyone's first experience. That was his first thing. Like actually. It's so weird. Notable. Watching him with hair.

Yeah. You know? Like it really is. It's like, oh, that's Joe Rogan. He looks better with a bald head. I agree. Yeah. Some guys just look better bald.

Yeah. A very small amount. That dude's full-arm bald too. and like somebody did die in a tie version of the fear factor show you know what okay but it wasn't the american one what happened he got hit by a barrel during a stunt what i don't know how you get hit by a barrel just killed i'd imagine that was just like such like think about how corporate that probably was because there was so it was such a big show and how many like legal advisors and safety people that they had on set at all times that were probably just like tweaking.

Oh, I'm sure. But I feel like also back then, like things were more loose. They just, and I think that's just a fact. Yeah. Like everything's really tightened up because obviously people did probably get hurt. Yeah. Like people don't mess around. They couldn't even do that now, right?

Yeah. They couldn't do a show. Like even some of the stuff they had to eat. Yeah. Like you probably couldn't do a show nowadays because people be like, oh, you can't eat live worms. That's animal abuse. It's like, legitimately people would do that. And that's, that's, like, another way, like, kind of stuff changed, but...

Yeah. I think everybody's kind of a little wiser. I was watching YouTube before I came here, and I came across this video of Mark Rober's shop. Holy crap. He's got a full-on... It's pretty cool. Dude, it's insane. You guys got to watch it.

And then on top of that, I've been watching a lot of fantasy factory lately. I don't know why. Just, like, when I was sick, I just started watching them. I was like, I'll watch every single one, because I haven't seen them all. And I started thinking, this shop is great. But I think we got to think about building something even bigger. Like after watching that like both those, I'm like, God, this place is kind of small. I like where your heads at.

I mean, why don't we have a phone pit? Like, why don't we have a phone pit in our shop? Right. I just don't know if we have room. That's exactly it. Yeah. Like we should be able to like do some cool shit in here. We can't do any cool shit in here.

Because we got all of our stuff. I want a freaking skate park in the shop. Okay, we need an indoor pool, a foam pit, a skate park, zip lines. It's not that this place is small. It's just so filled up. It is. We have maximized a lot of the space. I think we need to do one that's like four times the size of this.

Dude, I've always thought there's this old abandoned building in a town near us called Tools and More. Tools and More has been a host of shitty places that have gone out of business, but it started as a furniture store. and that thing's pretty big dude it just doesn't have high ceilings but other than that can you imagine like the races like you could have in there we can bring back to crazy carts but that place is probably like i don't know like 50 000 square feet or something like that dude's got like that loading dock in the back yeah it'd be it's about as close as it's going to get for an abandoned warehouse as far as that goes we got the room we got the land like that's what i'm thinking we got to like build something on there i like that idea we build that and then we also build another strip and then

then use that for like we either like rent them out or sell them there you go that'll finance the five million dollar shop that we have to put a phone but yeah no I I totally agree I feel like we're uh goldfish and every time that we increase the size of the bowl we just keep growing and getting more creative and stuff like that and this and this shop really is uh it's like business you know that's what it would be it's like it's still useful but yeah you got the offices is the podcast studio the merch bay like it really is about half like strictly business for sure no we definitely need in the next shop though to get just like more work space because if we ever start a project oh yeah dude in it if it's there for like more than a week everything else just like

kind of becomes a mess around it because there's just no room so it's like you're like kind of like every time we think about starting a project we're always like is it worth it Is it worth it? Yeah, because then it's like basically takes like, let's just say, one fourth of our production area and then it's just out of the question. Yeah. So I think the next shop we need to have a spot dedicated to just builds that can take a long time. And then we also need to just hire a full-time fabricator and mechanic.

And then just constantly have them on cool builds. Yeah. I think that's the next step. We've got to find a good one. A good one. And somebody who's also like good on campus. camera and mostly just like can work for us like full time and kind of just like chip away at yeah yeah always be working on one project and then maybe if there's like a hang up we start

the next one but i don't know i think that's like our biggest hold up right now would be our mechanical and fabrication skills i agree a hundred the skills but also like the time you know like we're pretty capable at not fabricating but when it comes to like if we need to build to another trike and a big wheel Yeah, we can build. We can totally do that. Even that, though, it's like we've got to take a full day. It'll probably take you and I or whatever, a full day to do that.

Yeah. To be fair, I am pretty impressed with how much we have learned in the last five years. Like, we went from hardly knowing how to change the oil on a dirt bike to, I don't know, you know, build the three-wheeler downstairs and stuff like that. Like, we've improved. Not a ton, but we've improved. Dude, Ryan fixed a clutch on a Harley. It took me three tries. I did get it figured out.

I was impressed. That's something a mechanic would do. Yeah. Also, though, we've never really put like a huge emphasis on the actual like build side of it. Mostly because we haven't done anything like that crazy. But I think we build like the cool things. But then where we excel is like ripping them and like the camaraderie of like having fun with it. Exactly.

Yeah. So if like we can show the actual build process of it, maybe it's on a second channel even that's like more like dives in deeper into it like C-Boys T. garage but yeah i think that's that's a huge when we get into that it's going to be like a major expansion because when you can do more unique just like one-off crazier builds that we're unable to do right now yeah dude because videos are going to pop off like we're going to go insane we're we've had pretty well bad luck with how they run but pretty good luck finding some really unique stuff on facebook marketplace but then yeah it's like the step past that is a major step past that where we have these ideas in our head just bringing them to life is hard you

can't just assume that you're going to find it on facebook marketplace one day i want an all-wheel drive corvette oh they're making one hose already really well yeah but electric no one that you could like hoon you yeah like you take like an off road yeah like weston made the c5 one that he bought but like that but it's got all-wheel drive and i can daily it in the winter put a snowplow on the front of it oh my gosh that'd be amazing that'd be a sweet that'd be a sweet that'd be snowplow in front of Ben's Lambo. That'd be insane. Did we just come up with a new video idea?

I don't know where you'd... So we'll go down with a saw and cut some spots so that we could just put it right to the frame. So then we can just weld it straight to the frame. So it's going to basically just be a snowplow for the rest of its life or a salvage title. I had to get a new back bumper for my GTR so you can get a new front bumper. I'm sure it will be just the same price.

I was like we're throwing it around. What is it? Front bumper's got to be like $10.000. And, dude, I do it, but my car just doesn't work in the snow. So, like, I'm sorry. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, it's a fair, fair point. I think we should actually start finding, like, a really good fabricator, though.

And he can't be shitty. Right. I think that's an experience, you got to be able to, like, either live around here or live here. Like, it's going to be a full time. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 100% would pay you salary. That one dude that's coming up to do the R6 squad, he might be our ticket. He might, we'll see how he does. but that's obviously he's familiar with R6 swaps but maybe he'll be really good at a lot of things

a pretty gnarly builder scrolling through his Instagram on all his builds got us pretty hyped up and he's a youtube so it's like he'd kind of it'd be maybe it'd be a good blend I don't know but speaking of YouTubers that have crazy setups did you guys see dude perfect's headcourt not I don't know if it's a headquarters or if it's just like a their amusement park yeah yeah yeah dude That place is insane. I'll pop a picture of it up here, but what? Is it real? I think it is.

I think the news articles maybe like misconstrued it a little bit. I think that they, that place isn't like their filming setup. Maybe I'm wrong. But I think they bought it and they're basically turning into like, you go there to like do fun things, kind of like a sky zone or even like Chuck Echise is a terrible, a terrible comparison.

But it's more of like a business where like, hey, do you want to go to dude perfect? You know, and then you go and you shoot hoops And you jump on trampolines And you do stuff like that I think it's more of a thing like that Not a good idea Or maybe it is there like headquarters like this

Which that place is so big I feel like that'd be just overkill But yeah I would say you're right It's like a place for people to come Yeah I think it's like a brick Not a I guess a brick and mortar Physical location that you can sell product Or sell a good time

Host a birthday party there That's exactly what it's getting that would be the most We should start hosting birthday birthday here and we'll have you manage it myself yeah no yes so you just have pizza i'd be pretty good at it but i wouldn't like doing it mike mike gets all the kids in the razor sends him around the track you're about one time that you were you were bringing someone a ride in our maverick and you backed into that grandma's oh my gosh have we told that yeah yeah so funny yeah so like they came over and they were local old shop yeah they were locals so like we

We'd seen them around plenty. The kids were, they've watched the videos. And we don't do this anymore, but I was like, I'll obviously be careful. We're going to wear our seatbelts. I'm not going to, I'm just going to, whatever. It was a different time. Yep, it was a different time. And I just straight up backed into this grandma's car that the grandma that brought the kids over.

And I, you know, felt so dumb. There's just no, nothing, no excuse. What did it do to her car? It just, you know, like, dented the front bumper. Like, a perfect dent, a wheel, the Maverick. sized wheel. He broke it made. Yeah, it basically just like shattered it. I just remember it being one of those ones, you know, when you like pour steamy water over it and then suction it. Pop it out. Mike pours water over and gets a plunger. Oh, I'll fix it for it. Pulls the paint off. She just was not,

I was, you know, clearly felt bad. And she goes, ah, no big deal. We came over and wanted to ride. She was like, I'll say I got hit in the Walmart. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, I think that is what she said. Classic. What the heck? Yeah, that was. Good thing we had a cool. She had a cool grandma. Yeah, she was chill with it. Gavin texted me after the last video of us destroying his three-wheeler that we gave him. And he was like, dude, my Chinese moped. How is she? Is she okay?

And I was like, no, she is not okay, dude. She's totaled. And he was like, oh, no, like undrivable. And I was like, yeah, bro. Dude, it hardly drove before. I hope you had insurance on that thing. And he was like, I didn't. And I go, okay, put insurance on it on Monday.

and say it was in a hit and run. He was like, okay, okay, yeah, I'll do that. Progressive, State Farm, anything, just get it. How are he supposed to pick up all the Gunnison girls, dude? Oh, he'll figure it out. Yeah, I'm sure he'll figure it out. I did do a little research post last podcast about the Taylor Swift thing. So I was thinking all those people waiting for Taylor Swift tickets.

I'm like, man, a lot of people took their time and, you know, spent all day waiting for these tickets. I looked it up in 14 million people were trying to buy the like 2 million tickets. You have a better chance of getting into Harvard. 2.4 million tickets. You have a better chance of getting in a Harvard than you do getting a Taylor Swift ticket. Holy crap, which is pretty wild. Is that true? The internet told me in the internet. Is that true at all? I don't know. Because I guarantee I could not get into Harvard. I feel like I have a better shot of getting the ticket. 100% could. That's true. Yeah. Anyway, so the average U.S. income is $221 per day.

They just search the average. I figured the average person spent eight hours waiting, figured they wasted the whole day between waiting and then being upset about it. Yes. So during that day, the total lost GDP of America of these 14 million people was three billion dollars. No, I'm sorry. The total GDP loss was $3 trillion. No.

three billion it was no yeah yeah Ryan's got zero I even put in the freaking little things anyway three it was three billion dollars and I thought lost that day three billion wow that's ridiculous that's crazy no way you know what's funny oh

so I was watching the VMAs just the other day and Taylor Swift was winning everything dude Taylor Swift is popular even though you don't like her I don't have a problem with her I didn't realize she was like she wins everything and like my girlfriend is the opposite of Greta and she was like

oh man like why is she always winning like they shouldn't she shouldn't be allowed to win anymore like what like she's too good she's not allowed to win awards but it was it was actually really surprising so it makes sense like she clearly is I mean she's just a superstar yeah like a superstar amongst the superstars is what I'm saying yes she sold 2.4 million tickets tickets at $300 a piece how much is that I think that's like 700 million Wow. It's got to be the highest grossing tour. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy.

Bro, I, and it's just her. Yeah. That's true. It's not like she's like a band where you got the Tommy Lee on the drums and whoever playing guitar. You know, it's like that you got to split it with. It's just her. Yeah. Me and Greta watched the documentary.

She's, Greg has probably seen it 14 times. But I watched it with her the other day. And it's, it's really interesting actually because Taylor Swift, although she's extremely popular right now, like, she's really had like waves of like, come up. And, like, probably three years ago, like, people hated her. Yeah. Kanye did it.

Dude, her and Connie got this big feud. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Kanye started out by taking her... I thought he made that bitch famous. Took her award. He said... Took her award. And she was 17 or 19 or something.

Like, super young. Oh, so it was a long time ago. God, yeah. Yeah, but you have Kanye come up, bro. You win an award and you have Kanye come up and take it from you and say that Beyonce deserves this award and you're like a teenager. Yeah. Like, what the...

What? What would you be thinking? Like that would be such an insane moment. And then, geez. Yeah, when you put it that way. I'd be scared.

I'd be scared. That's crazy. Yeah, but I guess like, yeah, the whole Kanye thing. And then like 10 years later made the song, I made that bitch fame.

And then, yeah, like everyone was like, yeah, he did. He did make that bitch famous. I think, yeah,

for a while in that song, a second. Why is she famous? Yeah. Dude, Kanye is crazy, bro. He's got like D platform, dude

Yeah, like major Kicked off man Yeah, I've still seen some stuff I feel like Isn't there people are saying It was a strategic way to get out of all of his contracts And that's why he said that Maybe he's pretty whack

But I feel like Kanye goes on these episodes Like at least once a year Of just like going around and saying like the craziest shit And then it's like people almost forget that he's crazy And then the next time he does it They're like, I can't believe this It's like, what do you mean? He does this, like, once he does it, twice a year.

Yeah. But I think the worst part is when he's kind of spitting game, you know, like he's saying agreeable stuff and he's kind of like hyping everybody up, I don't know, when he was like saying he was going to run for president. Like there's a stint where he's like talking pretty straight and then he'll go and then tip over the edge and start saying crazy shit. And then everybody has to go, ah, he's crazy again. Dude, that would suck so much.

And like all the stuff he leaked about like Kim Kay when, when they were like going through their divorce and everything and it sucks so much just like having your like anything you ever told the guy or like any kind of secret that he had you when he's going through these episodes you got to be like no no don't say it's not kidding i hope he doesn't pick me dude he must have been so torn up i just didn't think he would i thought he was too too too uh much ego too big of a man to just like i thought he was going to be like yep you know f her f p davidson just just that and but no he's he like would be kind of a crybaby about it dude he's got like the emotional strength of a first grader exactly like i just was surprised to see at how horribly he was handling the divorce

i don't know i also kind of like connie because he's extremely entertaining yes so it's like kind of a catch 22 it's like he is crazy but he's also entertaining i think he's still a legend yeah i love his music yeah amazing music so i'm trying to find this clip kanya calls into the freaking the charlemagne The God podcast or something. Calls in. There was something. Dude is such a loose canon. Yeah.

I'm legal. My wife is out here fucking a white boy with a tinnish penis and you won't help me. My wife is out here fucking a white boy with a tennis penis. And you're telling me that's your friend. I was going to be told you. It's entertaining. Yeah, he's so dang funny. He's a loose cannon, though.

All right. Well, should we have my dad on? Yeah. he's proud right now yeah he's been waiting for his moment to shine all right dad hop on hop on a special guest appearance special guest special guest people uh have been requesting for like to have someone's dad on yeah i thought it'd be a good twist on the podcast and um you've sat in probably 75% of the podcast audience chairs so not that many are pretty close makes makes sense to have you on well thanks boys yeah welcome happy to be here how's it feel to be sitting on this side pretty cool have you

have done like a radio show before you're i have like this you have i started my practice i was on the radio a lot oh really got experience doing what telling the message really yeah yeah 25 28 years ago is it kind of nerve-wracking going on the radio though knowing that it's like live as you speak it was yeah you can say whatever you're very stressful and then you just call me and be like Ryan cut that that is the nice part about this you got to be careful Ryan's pretty good at chopping it up making people look bad just makes my dad look so dirty because I'm dirty no I do that he wouldn't do that to me all right dad so we thought that it'd be an interesting take on your opinion on just like everything that you've witnessed over the years between everything we used to do like before we would film

and then the early days of our YouTube channel and obviously like as we've started the podcast and all the stories that you've heard behind the scenes and everything. But I don't know. I just want to get like your take on kind of everything that like goes on. And I think the people would think that's super interesting too. They always kind of like your standpoint of like everything that you witness us doing day to day and back when we were like kids just starting. Well, first of all on behalf, I think I'm speaking on behalf of all the parents. Everybody's just so incredibly proud of what you guys have done.

You know, I remember when you started doing the screen printing in our furnace room, you know, and in bed's bedroom, and there'd be, you know, six, seven of you guys in there, you know, and then it moved to the loft above the garage, and I had to put up with Micah living above the garage for a whole summer. I'd literally have to move his car every day so I could go to work. And then from there, it went to, you know, the show. over the old shop and now to what you guys now you guys are talking about you know you need 50,000 feet so it's just amazing absolutely amazing and then you know that's not talking about the cars you know I used to think I needed cars and snowmobiles and fast motorcycles and I had all of that and it's like when

you guys started this thing it's like I can just sit back and watch and I get more thrill from that than having all this stuff myself. I was thinking the other day, how often do you see a Lamborghini in the lakes area? I mean, I've been here 30 years. I never saw one. Yeah. And now, you know, we get to see one every day and then I get to drive one. Yeah.

I was like, hell, it's just been amazing to watch you guys. So good job. Hey, thank you. Wow. Okay, we didn't bring them on to pump up our tires. but okay so what was everyone's thoughts more so in like the beginning because obviously you guys had to been really confused like what the frick is going on because you know yeah like some of the first weekend cj about a camera also you you saw like that was like your first time seeing an inside

look to like what we were doing true when we were just like out messing around and like having fun but like before that you know like nobody is like seen documented yeah so what are the boys up to you know like what was your so here's what comes to mind i I thought you guys were just wasting your time until we went to Idaho on a trip and you missed out on that call from that MTV. That's right. And I thought, oh, shit, wow.

This, this, they're gaining traction here. I don't know what it's about. And then the next thing that happened was, guys had a drop and I don't know what you collected maybe 18 grand or something like that and I thought oh I get it this this has potential to do something and then you know so one of my mentors said there's different levels to look at you know when you're building a practice I'm a chiropractor you can have a vision that's as big as your community it can be as big as your state that's the next vision you know yeah yeah and then you can have a national attraction people fly in from around

the country or you know what's the top you can you can have a global impact you know 100% and when i started seeing addresses on your merch going out to germany in new zealand in australia in canada it's like oh my god these guys have something that they don't even realize they have a global impact now it's just a matter of scaling it you know and it's been awesome to watch it's so true about the going back to like it's as big as your i guess like as you want to make it and i always tell that uh because there's like local rappers and stuff and fargo and like they're a local rapper and they're like trying to you know take off for instance and they're like yeah i like need to, they're making songs about Fargo and stuff.

I'm like, dude, like, and they're asking everyone to, like, listen to it and reshare it. You got the internet. You got the world at your fingertips. And that's, that's the beauty of, like, today, you know. And you guys have that machine. It's running. Yeah.

It's absolutely amazing. I was up early yesterday. I was up at five and I watched Tim drive in at six, you know? And, you know, that brings up another message that you guys can send to your viewers. You know, it's like. You didn't get here by accident. I watched you guys grind hard. You know, I've watched him come home on the cameras at 3 o'clock in the morning, a lot, you know.

And so you got to have a vision, but you don't get there sitting on your ass and just thinking about it. You guys have action. And so I was up early yesterday. I was watching this guy, and he talked about, you know, your ladder to success. And he said, the top of your ladder. needs to be above the clouds and you know what's up there you know where you want to go you just don't know what it takes to get there but you got all these steps to go through and you just focus on the next step and the next step and as you get closer to those clouds that will reveal itself

you know eventually so yeah you guys have been awesome to watch what's your like favorite thing that we do well i can tell you what my least favorite okay you know you guys before i stepped up you guys were talking about having uh can come and do his reveal of the note neck brace thing yeah you know and i think i'm speaking on behalf of all the parents there as well you know it's i just i played this game long enough you know we can get into it you know i was on i was on a course of seeing the world on either a snowball or two wheels and then a snowball wreck just definitely was a defining moment. You know, when Ken broke his neck, you know, that as a parent,

that is what I, I live in this world of people that have injuries and now 30, 40 years down the road, they're dealing with them every day. So that's my biggest concern is you guys getting hurt, you know. And now you're bringing in, you're bringing in talent that's way better than you and way skilled, more skilled than you. Also little weasels. Well, yeah, that's a talent. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Evan is amazing. I mean, he is. He's amazing to watch. So what was your question? What, what, uh, oh, just like what, what do you most enjoy? I figured that was what you were going to say. Yeah. On, on like the lease and joy.

And I agree completely. Like after, especially after like the Ken part, all the parents in like, basically anyone close to us, whether it was like, texting or calling or like in person they were like i love what you guys do but watching that makes all of the rest like hard to watch yeah and not worth it yeah when i got that call from you he said dad come come and check out ken he just hurt his neck you know i've taken care of ken for a long time so i know his neck and he was leaning back on that couch and his neck was swollen out to here.

Yeah. And I'm like, you guys, get your asses back here and get him, you know, take him in, you know. Yeah, you didn't know. That's the bad, that's negative. But the great thing is, you know, just I love success. I love, you know, I wake up every day trying to be more successful. And to see you guys, you know, like I've already said, you know, I just love the idea of striving for success what's next so that's what's it's not about the cars it's not about the money it's it's

seeing you guys evolve and i see you guys sit down here and you can just spark up conversation and it just rolls well that's that takes talent that just doesn't start you know and you know my mentor also told me those that can move the move um people with a message that's a form of power you know so you guys have a lot of young people watching you for example i just talked about you guys work you work your asses off you know what and it it bugs me to know that there's worker shortages out there and people are sitting at home on their ass it's like get up and get moving and you guys can be an example of that and you are an example of that you know your your message is far-reaching in that respect as well.

People, I read those comments, you know, these kids that have had, you know, whatever, parents die or divorce and all the shit that we come into nowadays. And you guys can make them laugh and cheer them up and, you know, give them a better day. That's why you're here, you know. That's why you're here is to serve, you know, we're all on this planet to serve people. So ultimately, you guys are served. people through entertainment yeah hopefully making them happy uh you know i see the crowd that shows up at some of your events it's like some of these kids you know they just need need a little little bump

little boost little inspiration as to what's possible i mean you guys had came from families that are successful yes we saw like the success but also we didn't have like any like kind of handouts or anything like that's my point that's where i was going do you remember when i was I had to have been, what, 13 or 14 years old, and I rolled Sam's four-wheeler and I broke like the plastics on it. Yeah. It was like 800 bucks. I didn't have any money.

And you made me go and get a job, which wasn't even legal to get a job. I had to have been 13 at the Cormorant store and I would ride my dirt bike to and from work. And then basically I've had a job ever since then. Probably had to work like three months for that 800 bucks just to pay for the freaking plastic. and plastics. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But everything after that,

I mean, just like having a job and the same thing with like all the guys, you just bought it. And we just bought like we bought our cars. We bought our dirt bikes and four wheelers and everything. So like nothing was ever.

You worked for Dave. Yeah. And then I was working for Dave. And I don't think I don't think I ever told you this. I don't think he did either. But one day, I knew you had to be to work at seven. And it was like 10 after seven.

He's still in there sleeping. So on logs. Oh, man. Oh, it's been like the one day. I kicked the door open, I said, get your ass to work. And then I called Dave. I said, Dave, let him have it. Make sure my son fears his life.

Oh, he did. And he did. I still remember it. Yeah. Yeah. You know? So you were part of the, yeah. No shit.

Yeah. I talked about that story on this podcast before. No kidding. Yeah, I called him in advance. I said, Dave, no, this is a learning lesson. Let him have it. going to be 20 minutes late. I was like 18 minutes late and Dave comes in just screaming and I was like, fuck this guy. I was like, I worked for him for four years and I'm 18 minutes late one time.

And then I think he put you, this guy behind. I think he put you on just a shit job scrubbing those pads that were sitting in the swamps. God damn. You know? Yeah. That was a defining moment in my life. I swear to God. After that, I remember vivid. him screaming at me and I remember just being like dude I was 18 minutes late and this is how I was being like treated for it I am one never working for somebody because of how terrible of experience I had just throughout the years but mostly in that moment and two I was like when I have employees I am not going to treat them like this I will not like shit happens and you're 20 minutes late I am not going to treat

a 17-year-old kid in such a way of just, like, disrespect. Like, there's just, like, no respect. So the fact that you actually put them up to it. Put them up to it. No, thank you. Thank you. Because that was, like, such a defining moment in my life. Which is so funny.

It's so funny. I've had beef with Dave ever since then, but it was you behind it. That's hilarious, actually. It's got to be kind of cool for you just because you grew up dirt biking. You're a huge. I mean, like you were saying earlier, you were so. super into snowbelling and motorcycles and now it's like you pass that down to ben and he's basically made a career like he's technically i mean he's a professional in his own way with it you know

like he's not out racing or doing uh x games but he's getting paid to yeah so i mean it's like it's a lot of the lake yeah getting paid to have fun yeah that's pretty cool yeah we've always man we've gone on some crazy adventures throughout the years though but like back when i was One, two years old, you'd put me on the snowmobile, and I'd sit in front of you and hold on to the bar. Yeah, I had that switchback and it had the loop on it, you know? We put on hundreds of miles. Thousands. Oh, yeah.

Thousands. Yeah. Rodin trails. Yeah. And leading. I hate trails now after that, though. We like, yeah, we put on so many miles on trails. And then once I was like old enough to just ride my own snowmobile, I was like, I don't really want to ride trails.

You're like, I want to go somewhere else. Yeah. Kind of over this. So do you remember in any moments Probably when Ben was a little younger Maybe when we were doing a YouTube thing That you wanted to step in Just be like hey buddy don't do that

I'm coming back from the Cormorant store in the car And he pulls out of the trail That goes down alongside the road In a snowmobile and he was little I mean little Had to stand up Yeah On the sled

Like my feet wouldn't touch the running boards if I was sitting And I'm going 55 miles an hour in the car and the snow bill is you know dude you were just ripping I had that 550 fan just wound

and I'm trying to think okay so how am I going to deal with this one when we actually get home and meet in the driveway I just smoked him on the way home yeah he didn't know I was behind him yeah you know so I'm like how do I keep the lid on this kid

and well by that time he was too far out of the box I was a riper I remember you getting home and just screaming at me. Oh, you were so mad. I was just so dangerous. I mean, he's got a row of trees on this side and a highway with cars coming at him on this side. You're like 70 pounds.

Yeah. No control over it at all, really. You know, I knew at that point there was just no stopping it. It's funny, though, because I was just a chip off the block in that aspect. I was like, what do you mean? You do that. We do that all the time when we're together. You're mad because I was alone, technically not following you.

I was like, this is not fair at all. It was like, how are you yelling at me for going fast when you taught me that? Wouldn't as well taken. Do you feel like your, was mom like, Jason, seems like, I wonder where he learned that. Yeah. You know, she was always good at that. I feel like there's like the phrase you get your payback for the way you were. Yeah.

Do you feel like you're getting your payback now? Yeah. Do I stress you out? You know, like I say, When I see you guys doing wheelies over black ice, it's a half inch thick and falling through. Yeah. Yeah. No.

I just know that eventually we run out of rope and, you know. Yeah. I think we've been, we've done our best in the last few years to try to reel in the rope as much as we can. I think you have. I'd agree with that. You know? Yeah. Yeah.

I'd agree with that. Man, back in the early days, though, I can't imagine. That's what I mean. I just, I'm trying to think back to us when we were like, you know, 19, 20, 21, didn't really know anything about anything. And we were just doing whatever and then filming it. And like, I, my mom still says like, she'll text me before she watches the video. I was like, are you okay?

Like if it's about something, I'm trying to think of one that maybe happened. Like with my backflip, Jetsky, she texted me before like, before I watch this, are you okay? And I was like, yeah, I'm good. And she's like, okay, then she can watch it. Otherwise it stresses her out too much. You know what used to piss me off. Randy was always so much better at this than me. I mean, he was so good.

Like, you guys would total something out. Okay. What do you mean? Wood? What are you talking about? You guys would wreck something terribly, you know? And Randy's just like, oh, okay, you know, let's replace it. And he was just always so much cooler about you guys wrecking shit than me, you know.

You'd wreck something and I would just be pissed. Yeah, I know. Like, I was just terrified to just tell him I broke any. Like your dirt bike or something. Like when he broke, you know, your brother broke your ankle or whatever you guys did. Yeah, but I remember like breaking snowmobiles like as a kid too. Oh man, I was so scared to come home and tell him. It's the worst.

I think I'm like got to be the complete opposite of that though. You are. Yeah. And I don't get you guys because it's like you relish when something's broken and you look forward to destroying something. Well, it's kind of fun. Have you ever done it? No, my conservative mindset is just take care of stuff and, you know, pamper it and, you know. Yeah, but like, who cares?

Like, it's just like, it's just stuff. Well, that's what makes you guys great is because you know that you can replace it, you know, with something even better, you know. It's like when you're burning the bumper off your GTR siege, I'm like, what the hell? I always wanted to shoot flames out of that thing. What's funny, though, is most people probably think that way. and then so most people watch it and they are like it's entertaining because they can never see themselves doing it but then in your it kind of pisses you off watching it too it's like i don't know i think that's maybe you know what keeps some people coming back is the entertainment factor

and then the disbelief of some people in certain aspects but yeah you used to get so mad at me when i would break something and i that was another thing too i i just remember I always being like, shit breaks, it happens. I'm not going to, like, get too hung up on it. Yeah, I'd all go work 75 hours to pay for this handguard at the Cormoran store. Yeah, I was like, I'm paying for it. Like, what's the big deal? That's funny.

So, um, you'd kind of mentioned, like, the adventures that you've gone on, whether it's on two wheels or snowmobiling. What, what have you done, like, 50 states on it, on a motorcycle? Forty-eight. 48 states and then, for some reason, I didn't get into Alabama. I was like, oh, okay, you didn't hit Alaska or something, but no, Alabama. No, I've been to Alaska. Yeah.

When I remember, like, that was an amazing trip. As a kid, I remember you just like going on like two week motorcycle trips and then you just like come back and you'd be home for like a week and then go on like another two week motorcycle trip. Where were you going? Like, why were you doing that? Like, where were you going? What was the drive? Yeah. I guess you know I don't know because I sure don't have it anymore but I just remember you like

yeah like you didn't used to do that and then you got a motorcycle and then you were just like gone for the next five years yeah so I bought that BMW GS which is kind of an on off road but it's just a it's a touring beast and um I don't know I put 100 thousand some hundred and some thousand miles on that bike went to Alaska went to every province in Canada. It's like I would study an area. Okay, so I read this book, the drummer of the band Rush.

That's what started it. Guy's name is Neil Pertt. He's dead. Just died. I read this book. It's called Ghost Rider. Basically what happened in that book is Neil Pert's daughter

died in a car accident and his wife died of cancer all within like two years. He quits the band. And gets on a GS adventure motorcycle BMW and he tours all the provinces in Canada up to Alaska, comes all the way down into the states. I think he goes all the way down to the tip of South America. And he documents this trip in the book.

And I'm reading this book and I'm thinking, God, I would love to see and experience what he experienced. So I go and buy that GS, went to Alaska, went all the way up to the Arctic Circle, a little village called Inovic, as far as you can go on a motorized vehicle, went through a thousand miles of permafrost, you know, over permafrost road. Just amazing. You were just like addicted to it. I was addicted to it. This was a 10-year run.

Wow. Just do it by yourself? Most of it was. So when you're like just hauling down the road, road on a motorcycle at any given point where you're like one this is like kind of dangerous but two that's like i'm kind of over this like after a hundred thousand miles on a motorcycle no i don't know there was such an adrenaline rush i think it's 500 miles across this frozen tundra road that's built on the tundra and then i get up there and i'm checking into this camp it's not even a campground it's

just a place to pitch a tent, you know, and everything, because it's permafrost, everything is built off the ground. Yeah. Like the houses are all on stilts. Even this little campsite was a wood platform built off the ground because the heat of your body would sink you in permafrost, right? You're so far north that, you know, like TV dishes normally are like this up into the sky, you know, like your dish network you're so far north they point down what it's so strange oh it's just goofy stuff like that that you experience in these adventures didn't you blow a tire on that trip like in the middle of the 500 miles so i get up to this little eskimo village and the guy goes how's your trip i said it was good it's all it's all inuits and there's one spot halfway across where there's gas station to fill

up so this road is made out of crushed shale and it was like razor blades on that tire okay and i i get back across the permafrost 500 miles to what's called klondike corner which is now tar again it's it's the alkan highway and and i look at my tire and it's gone i mean it's just fred showing and i am still a day from Alaska too you know I'm a day from from a town a civilized town and I'm I'm like this is never going to get me there and so I'm driving down the road and sure enough it goes flat in the middle of nowhere I'm in the middle of nowhere I'm I'm 150 miles from tok Alaska so my dad's a world traveler and he always said you know when in need the right people show up. So I'm sitting there for probably three hours because it's fault. All the tourists

from that go to Alaska, they're all, they're all back down. This is like the first week in September. And this guy comes by and he's, I said, I got a flat tire. I don't know what I'm going to do. He said, I'll see if I can send you some help. And I'm sitting there. So now three hours have gone by. Oh my gosh. So he's going to send you help. You're just stuck on the side of the road. I'm just sitting on the side of this gravel road. Do you have a phone? There ain't no service up there, even if I had it. What the heck, okay.

So you're literally by yourself. Now listen, when they need, the right people show up. I'm sitting there. It's like, what the hell am I going to do? Here comes this truck, this county truck with a Tommy lift on the back of it. The guy goes, we're going to take care of you. Well, halfway between Glondike Corner in Toke, Alaska is a main service. Alaska Highway Department Service Road.

Basically, these two guys live there year-round and they just keep the road open so that people can get through. So I was about a half hour from that. Anyway, we get the truck, the bike in the back of the truck, we get back, the guy gets on a satellite phone, calls into a guy he thinks in Tok Alaska has a tire for my bike. Wow. he says i think he drives a bmw but we'll call him so he calls them on the satellite phone yeah i got a spare

tire in my shed the guy goes hey you can take my truck gives me his truck i drive to tok alaska with the rim off the back of the bike this guy puts the tire on the rim didn't quite fit but he made it fit and I drive back, put it on the bike, and I take $200 bills and I lay it on the counter of this guy that gave me his truck. It's the least I could do, right? And then I get on the bike and I drive, I get to Fairbanks where I'm going to have new tires put on, and I open my saddlebag and there's those $200 bills. You stuck them back in there, you know?

So back to your question, what, it's just stuff like that. It was just so cool, so many cool experiences, people, just, you know. And then you meet other bikers and just awesome. So what about the one story of the one night that you were going and then that car passed you? Fourth of July, we closed our office for like 10 days. And I thought, I'm not going to sit around. I get on, I had an FJR, Yamaha. It's a crotch rocket, touring crotch rocket, just a missile.

I want to go to Seattle, experience Washington, see the mountains. And what instigated that trip was I was watching this thing on the Discovery Channel about these four guys that died on Mount Hood, which is in Washington. And I was looking at the scenery and the beauty. And I thought, oh, man, that's beautiful. Maybe I'll do that. And this is like in January I'm watching this. Maybe this summer I'll do that.

So then get out there, I look at Mount Hood, drive along the Columbia River, go to Seattle, and just beautiful. You know, just absolutely beautiful. Now it's July 3rd. I wake up and I'm in Oregon. And at the time, Oregon had a rule or a law that you couldn't pump your own gas. You had to have a attendant fill up your motorcycle or your car. So anyway, I can get the hell out of this state.

It's July 3rd. I got to be out of the state by July 4th because you can't count on any mom and pop. Gas station being open. So it's like, okay, I'm going to haul ass across Oregon. It's just before dark. I'm going down the road. And this grand dam comes up, whoa, comes up behind me, goes around me. And he's hauling ass down this tar road.

And I'm thinking, okay, I'll just get. get behind this guy, and he's doing, I'm looking down, I'm doing 105 miles an hour. At night, too? At night. Jeez. Just before dark. Yeah. Dusk.

And I thought, this is stupid. So I back off, I ride in about 10 minutes later, I come across this, what looked like a cow. It was like you took a watermelon with all your might and threw it at a concrete wall. It was, the only reason I knew it was a cow, because I could see it was a, a big bowl head, you know, with that fuzzy forehead. And otherwise, there is just, I got the brakes on and I'm just navigating through this pile of exploded cow. It was, you guys have no idea.

And then I look out in about 100 yards out into this field is this car on fire. And I'm like, I'm not going out there. But this. Middle of the night of this one? It's dark. Yeah. Yeah, it's dark. And I hear this.

woman screaming. Oh, geez. It was horrible, you guys. I had PTSD, and I still kind of do when I think about it. And I thought, I got to go help her. She was sleeping in the back seat. It crushed the top of the car down and broke his neck. And she was trying to get him out of this burning car. And I'm walking up assessing this thing, and it's like, oh, I have to help her. So she couldn't get him much. She couldn't get the door open, you know. And so I put the shield down, and I got all my body armor on and my gloves, leather gloves, and I put my shield on on my helmet, and I'm, why the hell with this door? And I thought, well, maybe it's locked.

And I reach in, and it was locked. You know, and flames are blowing over the top of this guy in this car. It was horrible. Jesus. And I get the door open, and then I, I mean, you are so full of adrenaline. I grab this guy. and I go to rip them out of that car. Well, the seatbelt is on him, you know.

So now he's laying out of the car. And reach in through these flames and I, and I undo the seatbelt and I pull him on. I could see right away. He's got a broken neck. Yeah. He didn't make it, you know. He didn't make it.

It's like, by this time, there's other people walking up on the scene and I just got out of there. You know, I knew they were going to take care of him anyway. And I get back on my bike. Now, you guys don't know what an adrenaline rush is until you go through something like that. It was, I get to Twin Falls, Idaho, and I'm just driving slow, and it's pitch black. It's midnight, now July 4th, and I get pulled over by a highway patrolman going too slow on the freeway. And I told him what I just experienced, and he says, go get a hotel, buddy.

Yeah, just go to bed. Yeah. And I go into this hotel parking line, I'm thinking, I'm not going to pay 150 bucks. for a hotel and go, I'm not going to sleep. I can't lay there anyway. So I get back on the bike, go to Jackson Hole, have a little breakfast, go through the Yellowstone Park, end up in Glendive, Montana that night, you know, just all on adrenaline, you know. Jeez.

You know, you hear about guys doing iron butts, which is a thousand miles in a seat, you know, without, you know, you get off to fill up with gas, but a thousand miles in. a day. Yep. I did 1,800 miles that day. Oh, crap. Yeah. Man.

Yeah, it was just an adrenaline kick for 10 years. It's just awesome. So you did that, Uncle Buck, your brother. He's done like what, all the way to like Argentina on a motorcycle? I think he did, yeah. Like this son. And he had an experience where he's on this road in Mexico. And these Mexicans are holding a two by four with spikes.

so you could not drive through on a motorcycle right yeah and he gets off his bike and and i think he bought him off for 50 bucks and they let him go and they had a family on the ground what what we had a family they had a family and they had them like laying face down on the ground holding them ransom holy crap my brother knew you know he had everything yeah it's kind of hidden sketchy area And kept a $50 bill because he kind of was probably suspecting. Anyway, he came back. He had PTSD for a while. Yeah, I bet.

Was he able to pay off for the family that was laying there? I don't know. I think he just got on it. He got 50 bucks easy. You go, amigo. And he was like, I'm out of here. Holy shit. So that's why we do this stuff, you know.

Grandpa did the same shit too, didn't he? Yeah. Like all over the country, all over the world. Yeah, he's 74 years old, just drove his motorcycle down to And then I talked to him last week. He says, yeah, I think I'm going to ship my bike over to Europe. Man, I wonder if I'm going to do that one day. That's why it's your vagabond adventure coming?

Yeah, I don't know. It sounds like I got the same jeans. I got the same adventurous soul. I don't know. I don't know if I haven't much though. Was it your dad the one that was on the sailboat? Yeah. Yeah.

That's a great story. Yeah, that's too much. Yeah. We won't get into that. That's a whole other podcast. That again is PTSD. You know, when your dad's missing for 21 days, they find them washed up on a beach in the Louisiana bayou.

You know. Yeah, that's crazy. It's crazy. I can't wait to see where you go on your motorcycle, Ben. You know? On my dirt bike? Yeah, your dirt bike. Probably not very far.

I don't know. I don't really have much of like a desire to even get a motorcycle. Not yet. Maybe one day, though. This is cool. It's kind of fun to do. something different. Here's some cool stories.

I hadn't heard any of those, but I feel like we've had a million conversations where you tell stories. Yeah, I would say that that's the tip of the iceberg there. Yeah. Again, man, it's just, it's been so fun hanging out here. Thanks for letting me come over and just hang guys. Of course. We miss when you come over on Fridays and grab a beer and hang out with us.

Remember when he used to come over for like a couple months there and then on a Friday would, hey, is it cool if I drink a bubler? And then after a couple months, he goes, how much? alcohol is in these. I go, there is none. There's no alcohol in them. And he's like, oh, I was still getting a bus. I could have swore I was getting a bus.

Because, yeah, you'd be like, oh. Hey, you probably. I mean, I might have two of these and I'm like, go for it, man. There's no sugar. Oh, that's funny. I got more stories, you guys, when you were little. What kind of stories? Yeah, what are we talking about here?

Well, I remember the time that CJ puked across the whole back of my car. Dude, you are You're a puker Dude, I got car sick So we were on a dirt bike trip in Ely And it was just like This really windy road And I was on the very back

And it was super hot I remember And I kept saying I was like You didn't say nothing I said Can we put the window down? I swear to God

I said can we put the window down It's like when he puked He did this But it was like It compressed it And we had puke Just in the back Like, how did they...

How did they... And there was puke on the dash. Yeah, I pooped all. It was like... Oh, my goodness, dude. Everyone in the car is covered. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that was embarrassing.

Not really, but that was funny more so. All right. Well, on that note, I think we're going to wrap up the podcast. If you made it this far in the podcast and you're not subscribed, hit subscribe. And we'll see you guys next time. Peace.
