We had like a designated smoking pit
outside the high school.
Shut up. If you guys weren't YouTubers,
what would you want your profession
to be? We started a band. Ken, can you
spin a track and we'll start singing? I think
that's the worst hangover I've ever seen.
The king of hangovers.
I don't actually know what happened on Saturday.
You've kind of been beating our stuff up, Spending.
This might be a hard thing to hear, but school is easier than life.
I was talking to my brother yesterday when I was in The Skiddy, and he heard the podcast about it, and he's like, dude, don't get the fake tits, man.
He's like, he's like, just don't do it.
He's like, then you're going to be, like, categorized as, like, a fucking mutant.
Like, people are going to be, like, you're going to be, like, one of those mutants.
He's like, that's just just so wag.
He thought you were contemplating?
Yeah, he thought I was serious.
Was the wooden dirt bike Cole's idea?
Mm-hmm.
He's fucking ripping him.
Dude, he loves it, bro.
I mean, the ice rink idea was, that's a great idea.
What's the ice rink idea?
So, I mean, you know how we always go on the ice in the winter with the studded tires?
My brother was like, dude, you guys got to do a video where you pull up to like a skating rink and rent it out, but then stut up the bikes and take them and run them in the...
That actually be sick.
In the ice rink, in the summer.
Think, we've never thought about, like, just doing our ice.
stuff in an indoor ring and then ironically i got a call from buddy spencer and he's like yo i talked to
the guy at fargo forest which i believe you talked to too and he's like yeah they'd let you do it like
in the arena i'm like even better and then he's so good one more yeah one more step he's like no he
wants you to do it like during a game yeah it would so at the very least i'd love to do it in the
arena like it's a great idea i told them we're down to do it but you got to at least let us
run a couple laps on the zamboni that'd be said yeah i've always
wanted to operate a Zamboni.
Yeah, can you just drive a Zamboni on the streets?
Some guy got a Dewey in some county on a Zamboni.
Impressive.
I think it was in Canada.
Of course it was in Canada.
Dude, we need to buy a Zamboni.
I lied.
The guy actually got a DUI on a Zamboni in Fargo, North Dakota.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Where is he driving it?
On the ice or on the road?
Oh, at the hockey rink?
I bet hockey arena, like, owners and staff have dealt with that a lot.
Like, people drinking while Zamboni in the ring because they're like,
Who's going to know?
The Zamboni guy.
Yeah, he's in the back, having a few beers.
Yeah.
I think that's a job you can comfortably have a few beers and do.
Yeah.
Okay, this, I'm not going to know of his name, but he looks hammered in that picture.
We probably was.
He looks pretty sad.
Well, where is he driving it?
I'm trying to figure out where in town.
Like, I feel like there's a few jobs out there that you can have a few beers and still do.
Like, I mean, there's more in a few jobs out there.
Mowing, obviously.
Evan's proven that.
Mowing is like it's almost a requirement.
Like being a doctor probably shouldn't have.
have a few beers and get in and do some open brain surgery.
I'd say the blue collar guys, they run beers.
Like my brother, he's a refridge guy.
And they go rip like two, three, four beers at lunch all the time.
Yeah.
Really?
Okay.
And he's running HVAC, correct?
HVAC, that's a two, three beer job.
No, I think electricians, you've got to be more dialed because you get zapped.
You'll, like, run a couple beers and you know, call me after lunch and be like,
yes, had a couple beers.
And like, you can tell he's kind of, you know, feeling up a little bit.
Going back to work.
What's another job you have two, three beers and still do?
Bartender.
Yeah, you could be a bartender.
You can buy them shots even.
I have a funny story.
Like when I started bartending at Zorbas, you used to back in the day
to drink while you bartend, but then that got cut.
And I was like, oh, that's so lame.
It'd be so great to drink while you bartend.
I get why it's a rule because then when I went to Wii Fest and I got a little
bartending gig for the night, they're like, yeah, yeah, just sling people drinks.
And then you can drink too.
Don't worry about that.
and I blacked out
while I was...
How many years ago is this?
I don't know, like six
and I blacked out while I was bartending
and I woke up with like 300 bucks
stuffed in all of my pockets
and I'm like, all right, not bad.
Seems like you did good.
See, that's what I'm saying.
The black out method works, bartending.
Oh yeah, bartending's for sure one of them.
What's one more?
I think it's more common than you guys think.
Blue collar boys for sure.
Roofing, you know, anything like that.
See, I would argue.
I'm just, I think it happens more than you think.
Like roofing maybe isn't a good one to have beers at lunch
because you're up on a roof, it's dangerous.
Like landscaping.
You can drink a couple beers and build a retaining one.
I'm going to go out on a little left field here.
I'm going to say marketing.
If you're in marketing, you can have four beers at lunch.
Yeah.
We're talking about what jobs you can have beers at lunch and still be good.
Sales.
Sales.
Well, at that point, you're just a client entertainment.
Yeah.
Cashier at the liquor store.
I don't want your dentist out ripping a couple of lunch beers.
Yeah, no, I think if somebody's up in your mouth.
The list of jobs you can't drink beers on is long.
Pretty heavy.
But like maybe your eye doctor, they could have a couple.
As long as they're not doing surgery, but like if they're doing the one or two,
you're doing all the work, dude.
They're really just sitting there.
They're just sitting there telling you if you can see or not.
Yeah, exactly.
You're the one doing all the work at the eye doctor.
Yeah, that's a good point.
But a haircut, you don't want your barber.
That's true.
They're doing the eye test and they're like, what are you seeing up there?
And he's like, I think it's an eight.
No.
I don't think it's an eight either.
He's like, oh, shit, you got me on that one.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Maybe I'm a little more piled up.
Barber's a fine line.
Like one or two might be fine.
Once you get past like three, then that haircut's going to be uneven.
Nothing worse than getting an uneven haircut, too.
I get self-conscious when I get them.
Yeah, you just kind of get flustered.
You get warm and you're like,
oh, dude, every time I get a haircut, there's like a sweet spot in like the awkward
stage of like post haircut i feel like maybe it's just my hair but it's like two weeks of like after
a haircut it's just not where you want it yeah isn't that weird how normally i didn't actually
think that until ken's mom before the wedding goes micha now don't go and do something silly like
get a haircut the day before because you're gonna look like an idiot good point and then i didn't
think about it but yeah i'm like actually there is that like fresh i just got a haircut type vibe
that it's like whoa man did she show up to your wedding and just go you didn't listen did you
Well, luckily, I played it kind of safe, and I got it five days before.
She was giving me all kinds of jokes.
Can I show up in Carhart?
And I'm like, you can wear whatever you want, Carol.
It's just an outdoor wedding, Carolyn.
So you blacked out bartending?
That's actually awesome.
Yes, but it was like I wasn't being paid.
It was at a music festival.
Oh, it was kind of like your pay was to.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, I probably had like 20 jello shots.
I mean, that, that, I feel like it'd be hard not to at Wife.
Serve one.
Wait, you were serving at Wife?
Exactly.
Why do I not remember you do that?
It was, um, I think the bar, it was the Moorhead Bar, uh, it got shut down.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You were working that?
Yeah, he just was like, you want a bartend?
Like, people will tip you.
And the booze is free, so you'll make a lot of money.
And then I blacked out and I like woke up.
I woke up in my blue van with a bunch of money in my pockets, right?
Right.
I'm sleeping on the velvet couch.
I saw it.
Now that you say that, I think I remember dragging you out of there.
Yeah.
Good guy, Ken.
Whenever Mike blacks out or anyone for that matter, Ken's there.
You know, he's the first one there to just be yanking you out.
My 21st birthday.
Surprise I made it out without like a spinal injury.
Yeah, I remember it.
Dude, he needs to go in the bathtub.
He can flip him over, flip him over.
He's going to choke on his poop.
He's just tacoed over the bathtub.
Yeah, literally.
And Ken is like, that's perfect.
He'll be fine.
I didn't.
I made it through.
I actually like vividly, vividly remember the next day.
kind of just nurturing you back to life.
Oh, my God.
And I'm not, I don't think I've ever seen someone so hungover.
I'm not joking.
I think that's the worst hangover I've ever seen ever.
Ryan's the king of hangovers.
Yeah.
Every time.
So bad, dude.
So bad.
He'll be downwind from booze and he'll get a hangover the next day.
I don't even bother texting Ryan the morning after him drinking because I just know he's just
you know, he's fighting the demons.
Dude, Saturday was so fun though.
Yeah.
When we hung out on Saturday, when Ben was at Weefest?
You and Glennie were tearing it up.
Yeah, dude,
Lenny and Ryan got hammered.
Your dad, pretty drunk?
Yo, him and Ryan were going drink for drink for like four, five hours, six hours.
Your dad was chilling, it seemed like.
Every time he jumped in the boat to go take a pee, he drifted 60 feet away from the boat.
We had to pick him up.
He didn't quite grasp the concept of like when you have to pee on the boat, you just hang on to the back.
He would jump off every time.
It was a super windy day, and he would drift that way.
I'd drift, you know, we'd basically drift apart.
and I'd have to go get him and go pick him back up.
It was so far that, like, he couldn't swim over.
We had to fire up the boat and do a loop and get him.
I honestly thought Glenn and I were having a pretty good time,
and then I tried surfing, and then I couldn't surf.
I was so hammered, I couldn't surf.
It was pretty bad.
Yeah, and I feel bad because CJ was kind of like not at the level that me and Glenn were.
So was Benny.
No, I was fine.
It really wasn't bad.
I was just your surf performance, I was surprised.
Dude, I felt so bad.
Ryan's a great surfer, and I literally was like, Ryan needs to go.
Everyone watched Ryan.
He's going to do great.
And then he just went out there and fell like three times.
I know.
And I kept going to go one more, one more.
I can get it.
No, dude, I mean, I'm a pretty good surfer.
That's a job you can do after a beer or two.
I just could not get my feet underneath me.
I don't know.
It might have been my driving comments.
The funniest thing when Ryan, the last time he went, he's like, I'll go one more.
And he goes and he falls and nobody was watching, but he goes into the water head first.
and then I like look away, look back
and his feet are up in the air
and he's flipping his feet in the air
Like he's doing a headstand
And he's kicking his feet above water
I was trying to swim down
I was embarrassed
We got home
And Londra was like
Oh Longbridge was so good last night
And I was like we went to Longbridge
Dude I don't actually know what happened on Saturday
I actually have a video of you Ryan
I do you're drunk man
Dude I don't know what happened
We ripped a bunch of pole tabs
And didn't win any
That's where all my money went.
Dude, I had like a couple hundred bucks that were gone, too.
I knew that something was going on when I was getting, when I was getting videos of Spenny's parents,
mostly his dad dancing to YMCA and like that's, you know, a pretty American song right there.
And the Canadians in the boat were just loving it.
Okay, that's just really hilarious that you say that, Ryan,
because I was like, I'm pretty sure the YMCA song is Canadian.
Is it really?
And people was inspired by a YMCA location in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Is it?
Oh, shit.
Oh, and then Trump kind of just.
Because that's why I was like, man.
He just,
he's really getting into this.
This must be a Canadian song.
Interesting.
Oh, he just loves like, that's like an old, what is that song from like the 80s?
Oh, my God.
I'm so nervous.
Oh, my God, dude.
Oh, no.
Dude, me and Glennie had the time of our life, but I just, I think I was trying to have fun.
Yes.
That's the vibe, dude.
Oh, yeah, that is good.
Ryan and Glennie were flinging their tongues out.
I actually never get anxiety because I just don't.
Who's moron, Glennie?
Oh, Glennie's tongue was firing, huh?
Ryan's a fucking rock star when he's been rocking out, bro.
I will say, though, dude, I love drunk me.
I'm pretty embarrassed about that, but at least it looks like I was having a good time.
Yeah, I don't, it's not much embarrassing about that.
Yeah, was Glennie kind of, like, hitting the, the emo?
Yeah, Glennie's got to be emote?
Yeah, it was just so far.
I think I just wanted to show Spenny's parents a good time,
so I figured I better just do my best to ruin it.
Oh, no, that's fun.
I thought you were being hilarious.
They thought you were so funny.
Really?
Yeah, they thought you were hilarious.
You were saying such funny stuff.
Like what?
You were like, I think at one point you were like,
Glennie, where did you find a burn?
I think you said that
No, I didn't know
Where did you find a burn?
Oh, I'm sweating
He was like, where did you find a burn, Glennie?
What?
What else do you say?
I can't, oh man, I can't even remember
But he was being so funny
What were you calling him?
Glenjamin, yeah.
Gensomen, Glennjamin.
No, yeah, you were being hilarious
Well, that's good to hear
I was feeling pretty bad about it.
I was like, oh man, hopefully Spenny's parents
I don't think I'm an idiot.
Dude, I thought you're so funny.
We've had a lot of visitors this summer
and I'd say our hospitality rating has got to be at five stars.
Yeah, I was going up for sure.
But I mean, we try and show everyone that comes to your good time.
And people, like, they might,
they have lots of things to say about how much fun and this and that,
but they're like, the hospitality is just insane,
which is good.
We're really doing that for Rich this time around.
Rich is here now, and we're going above and beyond for him.
Trying to make it worth his while.
Yeah.
Bro, we had five different groups of people here yesterday at the same time.
On Tuesday.
It was crazy.
On Tuesday.
Like, we had literally five different groups.
We had Rick'd off.
his crew.
Yeah, we from the music video yesterday.
The Beyond the Spotlight guys filming a podcast down below.
We had Noah cleaning the cars.
We had the Enduro guys show up.
And we had Grandpa Ron.
And all of them just kind of came.
We didn't, you know, it's like this place is just a revolving door.
It's crazy.
But I like it.
I'm glad that people have fun here and like feel comfortable and want to keep coming back.
So clearly we're doing something right.
It's sick.
that's the best part about this area in the summer too is there's so many people that just
you know kind of come to the lakes area and uh the shop is just kind of became like one of the
frequent stops we're pretty welcoming if you're our friend if you're a random person we've never met
we're not very welcoming so don't show up but pretty much all our friends are always welcome i mean
it's pretty much guaranteed a good time when they come over like they know something's happening
six days out of the week yeah if you come on a saturday in july it's gonna be good time yeah it's
almost guaranteed there.
And if something isn't happening, we'll get something going quick, you know,
like, pull out the, dig out the pit bikes and hit the pit bike tracker.
Yeah, that is, yeah, we don't, it's like, we don't like awkward silence around here.
Like, if not much is happening, we're like, all, what should we do?
Let's do something.
Yeah, let's do some wheelies.
There really is.
There's just so much stuff to do.
And that's the cool part about, like, the compound is, like, back when we're younger,
like, Fantasy Factory or Nitro Circus or, like, Viva Labam, like, all these different shows had,
like their compound that was you know the set of the show and we have like really capitalized
on just making our compound a constant playground of fun shit always happening i hate to be
cocky but i think we might have surpassed all of those compounds like i mean we got a drift track
we have a skate park we got moto tracks we got pit bike tracks we got fucking we got literally
all that shit like the fantasy factory is i come
and like was probably nicer but yeah we got like 40 we definitely got more shit to do here
than in the fantasy factory although i'd love to go there if it was still assembled but uh yeah and then
the crazy part is is you got the sickest surf boat and jet skis right there too five minutes away
not trying to be cocky i'm just saying i think we we finally we did it doing it hello you guys
it's hether mcdonnell and i have a juicy scoop for you on audible i've been loving the

I wouldn't say we did it.
We're in the process of doing it.
It's constantly building out.
Yeah, we're still doing a track right now.
We're building another track right now.
Rich is here extending our current track and then we're building another track.
I don't know how much we can say, but another version of a track.
I've been ripping the skiddy pretty hard, long hours in the skiddy trying to get her pieces.
Is that thing still going to be like rolling by the time you're done with it?
The skis steering?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'll still run?
Yeah, you kind of been beating our stuff up.
spending i feel like you know evans he doesn't like go under the radar like everyone knows that
he's beating our stuff up but you've kind of been like just sly about it where like you just hit it
and quit it real quick and then like we're on to the next thing and then we're like hey who destroyed
our lawnmower and then big wrench is like Spencer we're like yeah he's pissed full yeah we're like
oh jean you didn't have to pull out the whole name on us right there the full government name
and then we're like what's going on with the skid steer attachment
And Gavin is just like, yeah, Spenny fucked that one up.
I haven't really noticed it, but the wrenches are definitely,
they're the ones fixing this stuff.
They're taking names on what you're breaking.
They're keeping track, yeah.
It's because I had admitted it to doing it, though.
Well, that's good.
That's why.
It's because I told them.
I said, hey, I broke the skid steer.
Usually it just gets parked there and then nobody says anything about it.
That's when I have not happened.
The reason why they knew about the skid steer is because I broke it.
And then I was like, all right, I needed to use it.
So I had to fix it.
So I asked Gavin.
And I was like, what should I do?
You want to weld this or should I just go out there and fix?
So I just went out there and fixed it on my own.
Really?
Yeah, I needed to use it still.
Nice.
You're fixing.
You're fixing.
I'm breaking, but I'm fixing.
I want to fix the mower too, but I left back to Canada.
A lot of shit does get broke on the daily that's like not a part of the videos, not a part of, you know, content.
And it's just like, that's just the cost of running the operations around here.
Like there's something that is constantly being mowed or weed, or weed,
or transported dirt removal or moving things around it's just like such an operation that things
break so i understand that i don't really lose much sleep over that at all but uh it's just kind of
getting to the point where there's so many moving pieces and then when things do break and you're
like they're out of commission there for a little bit and then we got the wrenches on five other
projects and we are like yo can we get this fixed because it's got to be used to keep things
moving because there's just so many
moving parts around here. Anybody who farms
knows that drill, I'm sure.
The thing too is like, it's not
like sometimes stuff is like needs to happen like
that because we're filming and it needs to go and
when I broke the skids here, we were moving the cars
around so I was like rushing. I wasn't taking
my time. I was like ripping the
cars and the car slid back and broke the fork
and it was just like God dang
it like. I get it.
It's all it goes, bud. I was ripping to try to get
the stuff out and get the video
done with and. Yeah. No, it's
That's just kind of how it goes.
Like, if there's one thing that we are all okay with is, like, things are going to break.
Like, when I was growing up, if things broke, like, my dad would get so mad at me.
Like, if I broke things, and now I just know that it's just kind of just how it goes,
just wear and tear.
But it's pretty gnarly how much moving parts are going on.
Speaking of broken stuff, I'm trying to track down.
Okay, so Gavin hit the rail for the second time on my three-wheeler.
Totally fine.
Horrible crash.
Epic crash.
Bent the forks on the three-wheeler.
No big deal.
and he's like, I think he was trying to make a video segment out of it or something,
but he's like, Mike, I'm going to get you a new three-wheeler.
I'm like, full wheeler.
A full wheeler, like, I'm pretty sure you just bent the forks.
I don't think anything else is wrong with it.
He's like, yeah, but they're really hard to find, so I'm going to track down a new wheeler for you.
What do you want?
I'm like, I don't want another three-wheeler.
I just want this one fixed.
I just want you to not ride mine when you're trying to hit the rail.
And it was for a good cause, but long story short, he's like, yeah, the forks are really hard to get.
and so I just like didn't even look
I'm like yeah man I really wish I had some straight forks on this
I love this three wheeler
and then I go on eBay and they are
a dime a dozen
and I just like thought he would know
that they are like they used the same
only uses barn find parts
yeah exactly so they use the same
like not they're the non suspension for like
10 years on like a shit load of three wheelers
and so like I bought for
literally $65
and had my stepdad powder
code him and he just texted back and goes
where'd you find those
you should say a barn find
yeah you should be like oh I've been
doing a lot of barn finds like searching through them
and they were 600 but yep stuff
breaks anyway I was just like I feel like Gavin
should know that those forks for a diamond
doesn't yeah trying to buy me a new three wheeler
I probably shouldn't have said anything but speaking
of stuff breaking man how about that wooden dirt bike
we just uh
it's stronger than one would have thought
yeah like if we would have just
Kept riding it normally.
Anything but hitting gap jumps,
you would have been chilling on it for a while.
I think the wrenches could,
they're damn near Amish at this point.
Oh yeah.
Building wooden dirt bikes.
It looked fantastic.
Road great.
Spenny ended up cracking it,
breaking it on the jumps.
Just the way they used to do it back in the day.
Is that a wood?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They can fix it too to slap the metal swing arm back on there.
Oh, true.
Yeah.
You could just get the metal swing arm on it.
It'll be back.
That one was the quickest turnaround in a while.
Like usually like these projects
are taking like four to eight weeks a lot of the builds that they're doing and uh like
gavin will be on one big wrench will be on one and they kind of just like shift back and forth
of like when they get done but this one was just a quicker turnaround and uh i honestly just
expected them to make like a two by four ask frame yeah and then i was expecting two yeah make it
super janky and then when it broke them being like yeah what did you expect it's a wooden dirt bike
but like that just shows like the talent that they have and they don't half ass anything anymore
or not that they ever did but they just like they just don't they just won't do it like if they're
going to do it they're going to do it like 100% how it should be done which is awesome and when they
were like shaving the things down to get like the front fender yeah like the front fender that was
very legit it could have just been a plank it could have been a plank but they shaved it down to
look better and the frame wasn't going anywhere like the swing arm they had to it just had to be so
so thin at some point but uh like i don't know it just like blew my mind that they didn't just go
the easier route with like the time frame that they had but they still just made it exactly how
they would have made it in like four weeks but instead they just didn't just rushed through it but yeah
it honestly is impressive and you you said they built it how they should or something like that
which is funny because nothing we've ever given them is like normal.
Like the most normal thing that they've had to make in the last year
was the first ever Stark three-wheeler.
You know, like other than that,
it's pretty much uncharted territory.
Like,
who just builds a friggin' wooden dirt bike?
There's no forms to look at like,
how'd you build your wooden swing arm?
Yeah.
One thing after another, yeah,
with zero blueprints.
Figure it out as you've got.
Full custom.
100% full custom.
That's what,
I mean,
we get a ton of emails and DMs.
like, I want, like, a blueprint on how to build the Cummins Ranger, but, like, people don't
realize it would take twice as long just to make the blueprints because you're figuring
out as you go.
It'd be rad, but it's just hard enough just making it work in the time frame that they have.
But it was super fun.
I think we should fix it.
It's like a little Lincoln Log work of art, kind of art piece.
I agree.
It looks good.
Yeah, in the shop somewhere.
Dude, shout out CJ for finding my old dirt bike, too.
Yeah, dude.
What are the odds?
what are the yacht that is insane so ben's very first dirt bike it was a was a 2001 ttr 90
yeah that he had when he was a little kid and he would ride and then i'd ride my little dirt bike next to
him anyways i'm scrolling facebook marketplace like i do and i'm not even in the market for a ttr 90
or even really pit bikes in general and it just is on my home screen that's what i was wondering
a little blue dirt bike i go it looks like ben's old bike you know like click it i'm like man
This is the exact same year and everything, I think.
The seven, the seven, they're, like, so recognizable.
I see the stickers, but when I knew it was yours is when I saw the monster sticker.
I go, wait a second.
And then I saw the DC.
I saw the Sunstar.
Obviously, the seven.
I go, holy shit.
And it had the pro-taper pillow top grips.
And I was like, this is Ben's old bike.
So then that's why that one podcast, I just dipped out and I wasn't in it.
Oh.
Yeah, because I wanted to get this bike.
I was just worried someone else would, for some reason,
and buy it. So I was like, I got to get over there and pick this up right now because that thing's
priceless essentially. Yeah. It's definitely priceless. When we're filming and I don't know if
you said something regarding like dirt bikes or what or what the alley-up into it was, but I was
like if he's about to surprise me with like a new 250 dirt bike right now, like it'll be sweet,
but I don't know if I really need a new 250 dirt bike. I mean, it'd be like surprising you with
the Lambo.
No.
No, no, no.
No, I'd be stoked.
Well, I know you would be,
but I'm saying it'd be like surprising you
is something that you literally already have.
No, I would have just been like a little random, right?
Yeah.
And then, like, that's way cooler than any,
anything else you could have gotten me, honestly.
Like, it's priceless.
It's so sick.
I just can't believe it still has the same stickers on it that you put on as a kid.
The same grips.
No wild.
No other kid got their hands on it and just changed it all up.
Destroyed it more than I did.
think they didn't ride it from what I could gather is there it had exchanged hands multiple times because
obviously your dad sold that thing 15 years ago probably yeah so it's exchanged hands and it sounded
like it was pretty far away and then this guy bought it for his grandkids like it managed to get
back into within an hour radius of us I would say your face is that have to align for that to happen
because think like when I pick up a bike I have a wrap on it you know and then and then like let's say
there was a rap on it you probably wouldn't have known that that was Ben's no you wouldn't but I'm just
saying, like, yeah, it's just this little kid bike, you know, with the same stickers and all that.
But, yeah, no one modified it.
They didn't crash it and, like, have to put new grips on or decide to do, yeah.
All the plastic was just cherry.
It literally looked the same as when he was a kid.
Yeah.
Like the bend marks and stuff where it gets light.
It's cool.
And, like, I said it in the video, but the impact that that dirt bike had, like, that dirt bike got me and a,
riding dirt bikes, obviously, which became, like, me and CJ's thing together.
We met you guys because you guys rode four-wheelers.
That's what brought us together.
Back when you were more accepting.
Yeah, right?
You let anybody hang out.
Yeah, yep.
One thing after another grew into Seaboy's TV.
So it's like the little things from our past that built us into being where we are today.
If my parents would have never got me that dirt bike, like we wouldn't be sitting here.
Like we wouldn't have a chance.
Pretty crazy.
We just wouldn't have had the interest that, like, started, you know.
It'd be hard to make a C-Boy's TV channel on, like, tennis or something, you know?
Yeah, it wouldn't hit the same.
Soccer, what was your other sport, soccer?
Golf.
We do like that.
We do like that, yeah.
But it's cool and it's just like, it's just paying homage, I guess, to, like, everything.
And, like, you asked me, Ryan, if you could go back and tell yourself at seven years old or eight or nine when I was riding that dirt bike, where you'd be today.
I won wouldn't believe.
leave it because I always like dreamed big as a kid I was always taught that like like dream big and
you can achieve it and I always wanted the most in my life and I don't think that young Ben could
comprehend like where we are today and believe it honestly like it's crazy just like I guess what
we've been able to like achieve because of the love of riding dirt bikes is kind of how it started
and then one thing after another but like it's absolutely.
insane like what it's grown to and like it's all thanks to the people listening right now and like the
people that have subscribed and bought merch but like it's just wild to think that it all started
from just like the love of riding there might have a tear in the eye here after hearing that bin
I mean it's crazy dude it's it's it really is like it's special dude I can't stress enough too
I said this when you ask that but like CJ picking up a camera and like filming us like
We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for
CJ doing that too, which I think
doesn't get enough credit. And there's
the whole like, it's never too late
thing. I always tell people that too. So you got
that dirt bike at such a young age. And
for a split second, I was like, man, Ben's been
riding forever. Like, what's it going to
take to like get good? And I didn't get a dirt bike until I was
18 and I felt like I was too late
to the game. I don't know. I'm just
saying you, if you're 30 or
40, you could still get a dirt bike and
like be a part of the movie.
of how awesome two wheels is or filming is never too late i'm not sure if mike really ever did
get good he fucking rear-ended me today i got i got good i know somebody has to tell you that but
i got i got all right i got all right remember when he still rear-ended me though mike yeah because
you were in the way you were lapper bro lap traffic yeah dude that old that old ttr 90
does not stand up even close to a modern day pit bike dude it's kind of crazy
granted i mean you're running like a full bbr bill yeah full bill whatever
pit bike but but yeah dude that the 90 was still great though it still rips yeah it's all things
considered that to me is like a well same for like a stock 110 that's like a true pit bike
where you just kind of chill on it sit on it ride it the craziest part about that thing is i'm
pretty sure your dad bought it for it was either 700 or 900 bucks
back when you were a kid, and I ended up paying $1,200 for that thing 20 years later.
So that thing appreciated in value.
I'm, like, not surprised, but that's wild.
Isn't that crazy?
It just more so just shows the value of the dollar has just gone down.
Yeah.
I got to put that thing in a glass case.
I'm done riding after, after jumping it like that, breaking the foot peg off.
And then then it rear end and you.
Yeah.
Clean it up.
And then, like, when you build your house, do like, some kind of ledge that's, like, up high,
raised up and, like, have it there, like, in your house.
I'm going to pitch it to Greta.
She's probably not going to like it, but I'm going to say that dirt bike paid for this house.
I just, I know, it's like I can't wait for the, why?
Why do you want to display a dirt bike?
It's like an X-Games bike.
Or you could have, or you save it, and then your kids can learn out of ride on it.
That'd be cool.
It's like when, like, when you win a championship or something, you put your championship bike in the house.
Yeah, exactly like that.
TTR 90.
It's just like a small bike, too.
People are walking and be like, why is that little tiny bike up on your shelf?
It's not quite old enough to look like real vintage.
Yeah, it doesn't look.
You know, like when something looks old, so you're like,
oh, this is obviously a legacy piece,
but it's just kind of like a medium old dirt bike.
You're going to buy another dirt bike for somebody?
No, I got to.
She found my first quad.
Yeah, yeah.
He's going to buy it for me.
Yeah.
I think actually I destroy everything.
I don't think it ever made it out of my possession.
I think it just bored into the ground.
We were supposed to light it on fire.
My red renegade?
Didn't yours like go to the scrap yard or something?
I have no idea what happened.
to it, honestly.
You actually don't know.
I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure it went back to Seaberg's.
Okay.
Just now you motors.
How many?
I'm sure they gave me like $8 for it.
Ken,
how old were you when you got that 800?
First time I met Kenny had an 800 renegade,
which is a lot of power for a kid.
A big freaking.
I don't even remember.
I know they made.
Whenever Ryan got his,
that's when I got that one.
Mike,
you think he remembers it.
So like ballpark me,
I guess.
Like 12 or 13.
Okay, yeah, it's a lot of power.
Yeah, you weren't driving a car yet.
No, no.
And they just keep making wheelers and stuff more powerful.
Like, I love that 12-year-old age where you'll just get like a DM that's like,
yo, you only have a 250 dirt bike.
I have a 1,000.
And you're like, okay.
Yeah, okay.
I know this for sure, though.
I am going to teach my kids how to ride dirt bikes because if you learn how to ride dirt bikes,
you are light years ahead of other people with motorized skills.
I agree.
Driving cars, four-wheelerers or snowmobiles or anything like that.
But like dirt bikes, you get the balance.
You get your like situational awareness, hand-eye coordination.
I'd say everything, dude.
But specifically just like cars, it still blows my mind that like, let's say 14 is the first time you've gotten in a car.
And you're like, okay, we're going to put it in a drive here and steer it.
I'm like, what are you?
This should be easy.
That's actually a good point.
Well, like, the general majority of people, the first vehicle that they operate is a car.
Car's the biggest, it's the fastest.
It's the most, like, out of touch.
Like, you're way more out of touch with a car when you're driving it than you are with a dirt bike or a, like, a side-by-side little buggy.
It's kind of crazy.
A bunch of people who, like, legit don't know how to drive and are just figuring it out in a car.
I feel like riding bikes makes me, like, such a better driver on the road even.
Yeah.
Just because, like, I, like, know what it feels like to spin.
the tire so when I'm driving on like ice and snow and it's like super icy I know to like be super
light on the throttle so that I don't like spin the tires and slide into the ditch I'm always like
using my my like dirt bike skill like I'd say a lot in life honestly uh all right Ben's going to
buy a dirt bike as well he's gonna go buy spennie's first dirt bike but yeah dude like I'm thinking
even if you don't pursue like dirt biking like you're not like gung-ho all in like trying to
race or anything if you just have like a farm four-wheeler and you happen to put a lot
hours on that you're gonna like be better off dude my first ever rig that I would drive around
was my grandpa zero steer lawn mower bro I love that thing that's hilarious too like I used to
practice I go I want to mow the lawn so bad yeah but they wouldn't let you turn the blades
you're like seven and so I would just yeah it would just drive around but I would practice
going in lines without the mower on which to me is the most insane thing now they were all scared
of the blades yeah we're gonna do jump underneath it scared of me running the mower too
when I was young dude next time your parents come back we got
to ask him about you smuggling grisly how did we not dude i thought about it this week i was like
oh my gosh yeah forgot about that i want to incriminate him i wasn't sure it's already out there now
ryan you were saying you wish you had your first quad yeah my renegade remember that thing
but then we flipped it over backwards at uh that off road park when cody put diesel on his dirt bike
i love that that day is just known by that the sand day yeah snap the bar off and then uh yeah
I like snap the bars and the shifter.
Like the whole transmission, that was the problem,
is the transmission got like broke.
Holy shit.
Sorry.
Dude,
I texted my dad because I want him to come down and see the dirt bike because he's going to lock out.
And so I texted him and I was like,
yo,
are you coming out tonight?
I want to show you something.
And he was like,
probably.
And then like 10 minutes later it goes,
send me a sneak preview pick.
And then like 10 minutes.
later, he goes, I already saw your tat, my tattoo. Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell him about that too. And then the
podcast went live. Oops. Um, and I said, it's not that. Ha-ha. And he goes, what is it? Question
mark, question mark. Like, he's got no chill. Just say it's a vehicle. And then he just called me.
Say it's a vehicle, because then he'll for sure come. I mean, he definitely won't guess it's your first
dirt bike. He's going to be very surprised. I knew I shouldn't have said anything. I wasn't sure.
You know, he's not even thinking about work. Yeah. Tweaking on it now. He's going to be thinking
all about it. He's going to close the office early.
But yeah, I was riding that bike and my older brother ran into me and broke my foot,
told me I couldn't tell my parents.
And then we told this story, yeah.
Yeah, and then today when Mike hit me, I thought I was good.
But now I think my, my ankle's little jammed up.
You were so tangled up.
You were so tangled up.
Just pop up a picture of me laying on the ground.
Neither have you moved.
You were just like, you know, because.
You were down.
Yeah, you're done bad.
I was like kind of laughing, but then I walked up and you're like next.
Yeah, why were you sitting like that?
Well, because I was just tangled.
I was.
tangled up like on the ground and Mike was also tangled up and the bike was on my leg
and so my leg was kind of stuck and then you picked it up and I was just I don't know
you still laid there stayed in that position I was like oh he's he's tweaked on the ground
my ass my like it kind of hurts it does hurt right now actually just sitting there's got to be
sore I am sore I mean Mike just I honestly wasn't that tangled my foot was just on fire
I thought I broke it.
Well, just take your sock off so we can look at it.
Mike, I don't understand how you didn't see him and just like swear.
I didn't have my head up.
So you just looked down the whole time when you read?
Who said that?
You said you didn't have your head up.
I didn't have my head up in that very rookie.
Rookie mistake, Mike.
I agree.
How far ahead are you supposed to look like?
He wasn't that far.
He wasn't right at the bottom.
He was like a ways away.
We were concentrated on, we're like getting shots of single jumps.
So all I have to do is hit the.
two jumps in front of me and look good doing it that's it and so like i wasn't like yeah i guess
i just wasn't paying attention for potentially someone stopped at the bottom of the jump it is the
one thing that i notice is that there's so many people moving around it's hard to keep track of everybody
like when i'm riding i'm riding around the track but then somebody's like driving their truck
behind a jump somewhere else but we're filming on another jump like it you just never know it's so
hard to be aware of everybody because there's so many of us and everybody's riding around
and doing different stuff.
Yeah, you come over and there's like a guy on a three-wheeler parked in your landing spot.
I mean, the same, even that pitter track, like I've almost hit Gavin on the track.
I mean, that's the example.
But yeah, I would say, I mean, looking ahead is you want to be looking pretty far ahead,
but you hit the jump and then you're looking back to see if somebody's coming behind you.
It's another good thing that riding bike teaches you is to look ahead.
Yeah.
Like when you're driving, people, I think, like look just right in front of them.
You're supposed to look out?
I mean, I don't know.
Yeah, it was a big crash, though.
I was scared, honestly.
I thought you guys were joking.
It was a pretty uncalled for it.
It sounded like a big football hit, dude.
There was like this like, crash.
It sounded like shoulder pads.
Yeah.
Shoulder pads.
After it happened, I was just laying out of the ground going,
classic.
Yeah.
Classic.
Like, you're out doing like the least.
Minimal.
Yeah, the least risk or lowest impact thing.
And that's when it's.
It happens.
How would it feel, though, crashing that bike 15 years later?
Yeah, it felt good.
Brought me back, though.
There you go.
Definitely brought me back.
I was like, the bike that started it is going to be the one that ends it.
I've crashed pit bikes more than anything.
Pit bikes are sketchy, dude.
Yeah, it's the small wheels.
You can catch a rain run and be over the bars.
I always wanted a pit bike.
My parents would never let me have one because I was racing, but like, yeah,
pit bike, my dad's like, it's too dangerous.
That's where you're going to get hurt.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's a little ridiculous, but yeah, there probably is some truth to it.
We probably have had some of the worst injuries in Mike's knee.
Dude, how about, yeah, I just thought a TikTok the other day of Mike crashing.
My knee.
And it's so funny.
It was legitimately the first time I've ever rode in a 110.
Because right before it happened to, which I completely forgot about, is I go, you want
us to film it?
And you go, nah, it's probably not even worth it.
And I think CJ, or if I was filming, was like, we'll see what happens.
And then you hop on it.
You literally hop on it, go over a hill.
And then about 10 yards later, you whiskey throttle.
But I think I saw someone filming, so I'm like, well, I'm not going to do anything cool.
That's why I initially told them not to film.
So I'm going to ride like a goon.
So don't ride like a goon if you don't know how to ride.
You need to be good at riding to ride like a goon.
I figured that out quickly.
Yeah, and I broke my foot.
Yeah, did end up raking it?
It's right.
It was a severe sprain.
But yeah, you couldn't walk.
Even worse.
Yeah.
I hurt my hand on the pit bike.
Yeah.
Oh, you have a backflip in it.
It's a little different.
Well, I mean, I never get hurt on my big bikes, or like, rarely.
Go knock on that West Tower right now, brother.
No, yeah, I've crashed on pit bikes way more than anything, anything.
Cody's hand, too, and he back-lipped.
Yeah.
Cody back-clipsing his hand.
True.
That was almost bad.
Hitters can just bite you.
Yeah, they were like, they're just like dead weight.
It's false confidence.
Yeah.
False confidence, honestly.
You get on there, you think that you're good.
You get overconfident.
Like, you almost respect the big bike more.
Like there's also more room for forgiveness, more suspension, bigger wheel.
The suspension travel on a big bike does forgive you a lot.
Kind of like a bear on a unicycle on a pit bike.
You actually got a clutch too on those.
It's way easier to get off tilt too in the air.
That's the biggest thing.
For real.
Like, I don't know what it is about pit bikes.
It's the small wheels for the little bump or the big bumps.
And then you get off kilter in the air.
I don't know what it is, but just dead weight.
So we had We Fest this weekend, which is like the country music festival that's
our hometown line-up was pretty weak i'm gonna be honest but there was one artist that was in town
that i was super excited for and cj was there too the same night gavin adcock was so lit was he
dude yeah so he's like a up-and-comin country artist that's like pretty core country i would say
i think like country music has kind of like started to stray away maybe towards more like hip-hop
yeah more poppy he's like a rock star he's got like the country twang to him but yeah he's
the concert with a bottle of Jack
and he ended it
with the bottle of Jack gone
and he fucking threw that thing out into the crowd
like yeah he was he ended it drunk
yeah he was a rock like his whole
his whole band was sipping off the bottle
right and so I'm pretty sure all of them were drunk
and he he threw the bottle of Jack
jumped out into the crowd took his shirt off jumped out in the crowd
was running up through like the VIP section
got back to GA like jumped into the GA crowd
was singing secure
Security was losing their damn minds.
Yeah, I bet.
Because they were like, how do we control this, right?
And then next thing, you know, he's coming back through, like, walks them back through, like, the VIP.
And he's, he had to have been pretty larried up.
But I think that's just this thing.
And it was awesome.
And a lot of people afterwards, like, older people were like, oh, that was just too much.
That was.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And I was like, what?
That was the only good concert of the whole weekend.
The whole night. Yeah.
So it was awesome.
Like, if you're.
a country artist and you're trying to get the crowd into it get pissed drunk I guess and
freaking jump out there yeah jump out in the crowd it was lit and then treaty oak revival was lit too
they were really good they were so good they were so yeah you were there that night but like the whole
crowd of treaty oak revival was like throwing their beer cans and like water bottles up in the air
so you like look back and it was just like it was it was crazy it was awesome yeah man it's just
crazy how many subs i run and do at a country music festival like legit can't walk like five feet
without just saying what's up everyone was nice and it was it was awesome meeting everyone yeah
but it is insane there and a motorcycle race would have like top demo yeah it was fun there
because everyone's so stoked well they're larried but like everybody was so stoked between
meeting people that i hadn't met before and then everybody that we did know it's like a freaking
school reunion it's like a town reunion like everybody around here goes to we fest
Like, older people will come up in 40s or 50s or 60s and be like, hey, can I get a photo?
Like, my kids are big fans.
But for them to know that, they still got to like watch to be able to recognize you.
Yeah, at least recognize a face in the crowd.
Which is cool.
I think that it's like kind of just shows that the videos have like kind of reached like a family dynamic of the whole family can come together to like watch the vids.
That's my favorite part.
That's like, I mean, there's, I appreciate how anyone watches it, whether it's on a phone tablet with your family alone.
But, like, sitting down in your living room on a Thursday night and tuning in is my favorite thing to hear ever.
Yeah, a lot of families.
It's the best.
Yeah, that's the coolest thing ever.
Like, they watch it, like, it's their favorite show because for a lot of people and families, it is.
And, I mean, there's no cooler feeling.
Yeah, over 50% of our views actually come from a TV.
Oh, shit.
That's awesome.
Okay, so that's even cooler.
That's why, like, you're seeing now especially, I think just YouTube videos are becoming more of a production.
which you want to watch that on TV now.
Yeah.
And when you're watching on the TV,
then it's like you get the mom that's walking by
and she's always seen it.
And that's why we're getting more views now
and just more subscribers.
But now it's like, it makes sense, I guess, why more parents
say they watch them now and also they recognize us.
Yeah, 50%.
Holy.
I talk to a mom and a dad and they're like,
the videos are the only things that get my kids on the couch
at the same time as me.
Yeah.
They won't even sit down to talk.
me, but they'll sit down to watch the video every Thursday.
They're just, like, so stoked.
It was pretty awesome.
That is awesome.
I heard you guys always talk about Wii Fest, but I couldn't believe how big that
place was.
Even the stage, the stage is massive.
Like, I thought it was going to be a couple thousand people and nothing crazy.
This is like, it's a crazy festival.
Yeah, it's like 40,000 people come into our town.
And, like, the biggest town near to us, like, where a couple of us live is, like,
7,500 people.
So it's still pretty small.
So it, like...
Explodes.
Yeah, it explodes.
It's always sad, though,
because that means, like,
summer's pretty much over.
I mean, not really.
Not really,
but it is for most people.
Dude, I say that.
I say,
We Fest is the end of summer
and Haydays in a few weeks
is like,
it's full-blown fall after hey-days.
But, dude, the Saturday,
or no,
the Sunday morning after Wee Fest,
it was like 62 degrees
and cloudy and windy.
And I go,
like I said,
summer's over dude it's sad
it goes so quick it really does
it doesn't have to be over you know no we'll still
have good times but just like the generic
summer night of where it's like
85 degrees still at midnight and it's hot
it's calm out and everybody's around
car hearts are back on
I love that guy
you see that guy I know that guy yeah car hearts are back on
have you guys seen the uh American Rejects
band popping up and doing like the pop-up shows
in, like, fans' backyards?
No.
Like, all American rejects?
Yeah.
They wrote the song
Move along,
they have a bunch of classics.
Gives you a ton of fun.
I used to play Rooscape
while listening to that on Limewire.
Dude, holy shit.
That was a sentence.
That was such a sentence.
That was a crazy sense.
Back when Napser was free
and then they got sued.
Yep.
They've been doing pop-up shows
just in fans' backyards.
That's cool.
just as, like, basically, college parties.
But they get lit.
Really? Yeah, because, I mean, they're like a big band.
Yeah, no, they're huge.
They're huge, right?
And so they'll do a show in a fan's backyard,
and then it'll turn into, like, Project X.
Just, like, turn the house down.
Yeah, like, every time.
What?
That's what always, it intrigues me when a band,
let's say, a band that normally plays for 40,000 people,
or even 10,000 people.
And then if they play in the backyard of someone's house
and a thousand people show up,
which isn't even that much for their show.
It's going to explode a house.
So they've been doing it.
They'll pull into town and they'll post on their TikTok like,
all right, here's the address, be there tonight.
And they'll give like an hour heads up, two hours heads up.
And then, you know, a couple thousand people will show up.
How old are these guys now?
It's got to be in 40s, probably.
But it's pretty sweet, dude.
Like, it's really cool to see.
And they started doing this, I think, because they maybe weren't selling out big shows.
And now this kind of just like,
reignited yeah it's crazy like you were ones at the top and now you're back down again how
quick you can get back shot right back up to the top i mean i say it all the time it's just there's
always all it takes is one instance i mean you could go from being a guy in our video that everyone
hates and then in one moment everyone loves you yeah i mean the the tides change quick
and people forget pretty quick too yeah people forget very quick dude it's like which is sad
just go on ticot and just look up uh all american rejects
and it'll be the top one.
Yeah, this video's crazy.
Can you imagine going to a concert in the backyard
and only filming the lead singer?
That's what the drummer's been saying for years.
I didn't get any screen time.
You just stood there and only filmed him, nothing else.
No backyard party shot.
If you guys weren't YouTubers,
what would you want your profession to be?
Country artist or just some kind of musician.
I'd agree.
For sure.
That's what I said too.
I was like DJ.
Being a musician is so,
We were just hanging out with our new buddy, Rick Duff.
He wrote a song called Ford Ranger.
And it was, uh, the lyrics are based around our Ford Ranger.
And so Rick Duff was in town and we were filming a music video with him the other day.
And, uh, I was just like, I think that being a musician is the sickest thing ever.
You get to basically do nothing all day.
You show up for a sound check.
And then you get to do nothing for another couple hours.
And then you get to go and perform in front of a bunch of people that love you.
Like it's got to be like the.
coolest feeling ever like the most euphoric feeling ever to hear people singing back and obviously if
you're like not a big artist in general it's definitely like a hit to the ego i'm sure when
people don't show up to your show or don't know your songs you gotta work your way up but yeah yeah i mean
everybody starts at nothing and builds their way up so if you could build your way up to become
a big artist i think that would be so sick i mean i'm sure there's so much more to it and you're
constantly traveling around and all that but also at the same time it's like once you make it some of these
guys they only release maybe like an album a year if not an album every two years so like what you're
in the studio you got to write 20 songs i guess and most of the time they have ghost writers but uh i agree
it would be the best career it is hard to speak on the work they put in being that like everyone
would say the same about us exactly they'd be like what do you mean all you do is is make a fun
video and then do nothing else yeah and rick was kind of he's i mean he's like i see a lot of
similarities to YouTube obviously he's like the fun kind of comes first the point in the camera the
the getting the video out the get in the views he's like that's cool same with the song it's fun to make a
song get it out it gets the views and then he's like but then all of a sudden you need t-shirts and
you need someone to plan out your your tour and book your shows and same for like we need lots
of planning turns into a business really fast yeah i think that's just surrounding yourself with like
the right people and having enough of a business mind that you can right capitalize on it yeah
A performer would be the coolest thing, though.
Yeah, it would be sick.
We start a band.
We just, we just switch up.
Who do you think would be the lead singer?
Who's the best singer in the crew?
Probably you.
No, I don't think.
You got a nice voice.
I heard you singing the other day at lunch.
Thank you.
Ben doesn't know lyrics, though.
He makes his own lyrics up when he's singing.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
I don't memorize songs for shit.
That's what we'll make each show unique because each show will be different.
He's up there, it's true.
You never know what I'm going to say up there.
But, I mean, there's singing.
There's obviously rapping, too. None of us can wrap either, but...
Can you guys play any instruments?
The drums a little bit, the trumpet a little bit.
Okay, so Mike's on the trumpet.
Mike, you got...
I bet you can play the flute, said you've never played it, but you do have a guitar in your office.
Well, I haven't played that guitar.
Like, I could pick guitar back up, and I could not be lead guitar.
Uh-uh, but I could be back up.
I think it's easier now than ever to be a musician.
There's probably a lot more competition.
You don't even really have to have that good of a voice
Because they can just fix that and coached
The barrier to call yourself a musician
You really just need like I have one song on Spotify
That has a million views
And you can call yourself a music
I think if you have a social media mind
Then you can be a good musician honestly
Like I think that if you can just make good
TikTok content or Instagram content
And get people to care about you
Your music doesn't have to be that good
Gavin Adcock is a pretty good example of it.
Granted, he does have good music,
but the reason I found out about him is through TikTok.
Like, he's, like, posting a TikTok video every single day.
Doing crazy shit.
Yeah, just saying crazy shit, starting controversies.
Yeah, living like a rock star,
but he's getting people to talk about him.
And, like, I think that's kind of what you got to do.
I was telling Rick Duff that, too.
I was like, bro, if you're not posting on TikTok,
like you're immediately behind the rest of the guys that are
because it seems like that's kind of what's pushing things.
Yeah, dude, the short form content.
for sure.
And that's not all of it.
There are songs that prevail without having anyone know who's behind it.
It's cool.
We're at a point.
There was a stint where it's like, oh, yeah, you're trying to, yeah, you're just trying
to push on TikTok, though.
That's not going to, like, amount to anything.
But now, I don't think anyone can say that.
I mean, I think you got to do more than just push on TikTok.
But I think you should definitely.
That's one of your biggest tools right now.
And let's say that's where you're pulling your biggest numbers, but you're still making
songs.
Like, you can't shit on that at all.
Taylor Holder did it, that TikToker.
He went on, went on...
He kind of had a transition, too.
He went on TikToker to...
He went on tour with Post Malone.
Really?
That's sick.
I guarantee you.
He was sitting down and he figured out, he's like,
yep, musicians definitely the route to go.
Well, Alex Warren, bro.
Same with him.
Alex Warren was a YouTuber and then a TikToker,
maybe vice versa.
And then he switched to music and everyone
just shit on him and was like,
buddy, you're a TikToker, buddy, you're a YouTuber.
You can't make music.
And now he's like,
biggest artist of the last couple months.
Dude, his streaming numbers are insane.
Wow.
They're insane.
You got a song bigger than Drake's right now.
Dude, I think if you can blow up on, let's just say, YouTube, oftentimes those people,
like, you don't just have a team to do your shit.
You're the camera guy.
You're the fucking writer.
You're the producer.
You're the editor.
And you're the talent on screen.
So, like, anyone who can accomplish that, like, you got a pretty wide skill set.
And oftentimes, I think those people can move into different.
ventures and do well at them.
I mean, you just look at the line, like Taylor Holder, Alex Warren, Logan Paul, Jake
Paul, like a lot of big YouTubers.
I mean, they have been able to transition.
It is funny to think we are like one step away from essentially being able to be music
makers, like someone who could produce us and then us putting some time and planning
into lyrics and...
Dude, honestly, we have the rest of it.
I could see it happening too.
Like, I'd be down to make a good song.
It's just got to be good.
Yeah.
Like it's just got to be good.
Especially with like computers and AI now.
You can make, like, you know, the backbeat and all that shit.
I don't know.
We got a lot of tools.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, it might be, I think it's probably easier and ever to become a musician.
My brother, he writes music and he knows how to, like, produce and stuff.
I should just have him.
I don't know.
But it's got to be good enough where people can't roast you for it.
They're going to roast you no matter what right away.
Yeah, but if it's a good song, then people will actually be like, oh, it's a pretty good song.
I think it sucks.
Yeah, I mean, if it sucks, then you're really in trouble.
But I think even if it's good.
What genre are we going, you know?
Spenny collabs with Nickelback.
Dude, I think kind of a DJ where you're making like the noises would be the easiest.
Fucking put some noises together.
You got to have an ear for it, obviously, but.
Barely.
Yeah, some of these songs, dude.
We got mics.
We got mics.
Ken, can you spin a track and we'll start singing?
I don't know if I can do that.
Ken, I can't even spin a track back there, dude.
I think you're pro.
Well, we can get Justin to like, like ghost mix some of this stuff.
Dude, if Ken was, if we had a band,
Ken would be the bass player.
He would just say the whole time.
Glass is on.
Yeah.
He'd have his big horn hat on,
his big horn helmet.
There's this guy on Instagram,
just since we're speaking of music,
his name's Ari at home.
He streams.
He's a streamer.
He has his beats making,
like piano,
beat pad, whatever,
streaming.
And he just goes around NYC.
He finds people to rap.
And then he's like,
all right, what kind of beat do you want?
And then he cooks up the beat on the spot.
And then they rap,
and you just,
have to go check it out there is people who know how to rap and sing incredibly well this crawling
around n yc everywhere it blows my mind the talent that he finds on a daily basis and you just have
to go check it out it's so good are you at home guys that can freestyle that's a special talent
the problem is like those guys that can freestyle it doesn't necessarily translate and into be able
make like a good like hit song like a lot of these hit songs are just written by someone else and
then you go in you can have a literal shit voice and then the producer on the back end
adds the beats and all the other shit and then fixes your your sound and then it sounds amazing
i bet you the guy producing the song might be one of the most important pieces yeah if not
half of it you know you guys ever hear like juice world get up and freestyle though like some of
he was good some of his biggest songs are one take yeah you're really that's crazy yeah
what's you guys's thoughts on dead artists like juice world like their families putting
continuing to put out music after they're gone.
Yeah, I just saw a collab between X, X, X, X, X, and Juice World.
I don't know.
I mean, you know, obviously the producer made it, you know,
mashed them together to make them work because it probably wasn't recorded as one.
No, I think it's AI.
Oh, you think so.
I think a lot of it's AI.
I think a lot of the voice.
That's actually very possible, right?
I think, I think, I think a lot of it is.
I think, but some of it, some of it is like they recorded parts of a song
and they just hadn't put it out yet.
And they were looking to finish.
finish it or they were looking to have someone else come in
and help complete it, you know, be a feature on it.
So they have like this bank of half done songs and then they would sell them
to other artists that are still alive and then hop in on it and make a, make a song and
I think you just like leave it up to the fans, I guess essentially like, if it's good,
then like sure run it.
Like if it's not just a giant money grab and you're actually wanting to put their art
out there, obviously the families or whoever owns the rights are going to make money
off of it but like rappers just like record songs and then just like put them on the hard drive
well you know whatever they put them away that's it they don't see the light of day i think it helps
them live on i agree but um but also like yeah again if it's for a money grab or if the music's just
really shitty it's like what do you don't do that if it's shit song yeah you're gonna muddy up their
legacy yeah i do agree with that that it like does help their legacy live on but i think with
let's say juice world for the case he's released like more songs after he's been dead
than he has when he was alive.
Dude, he wasn't popping that long.
And my beef with that is, is they're literally called artists.
And artists have a vision for how they want their song to come out and be portrayed
to the world.
And maybe they never put that song out for a reason.
And it kind of was almost like their choice to not publish it.
And then now the family takes their name and just starts throwing stuff at the wall or
even just puts things out that maybe the artist, the person who created it didn't want.
out and then kind of gets all the benefit off it. I think that's like a weird place because I think
there's never yeah there's never a right in a wrong way to do it which is like the toughest part
because think like I've heard of stories where you have a buddy that wraps and I somehow get a
hold of a couple of his songs and I just put him on SoundCloud. I'm like dude my buddy's so good
but he's too scared to show the world I put his songs on SoundCloud even though he wasn't planning
on releasing them and they get a bunch of views and people are like damn yeah but if it's like
Miller and you're going to the family goes all right if we put out this song that mac never released
we're going to make 19 million dollars exactly money grab i think it's a dirty a dirty thing
that's also kind of like what stage of development were these songs they like were they just in the
studio one afternoon and just had some lyrics recorded or was it like this was part of an album that
was 75% the way there didn't get released a little polishing touches on it's a good point it's a good
point. I feel much more comfortable about like where they had a bunch of work into this rather than
it's just some random studio words here and there. That's like really like playing the song.
Ken's like, I don't feel comfortable listening to this one boys. But yeah, I feel you.
There's no right and wrong. Last one, but I'm just saying you could literally have that song in the
studio where you just sat. You're like, dude, I just walked in there and I was just goofing off
with my buddy. And then you make a hit. I don't know. There's no right or wrong way to do it.
I had heard somewhere that Lil Wayne had like an absurd amount of songs unreleased.
So I just looked up how many unreleased songs does Lil Wayne have?
And top answer was Lil Wayne is rumored to have over one million unreleased songs.
Oh my gosh, dude.
I think that's pretty inaccurate.
But a lot.
I've heard him say a lot.
Well, let's say even if it was a thousand.
Yeah, probably more than that.
I bet more than that, dude.
Yeah.
Because like they oftentimes, you know, they're recording all these songs.
then it's like they got to choose what's going on the album and i mean that guy's been popping since
what 2000s 2000s 2000s yeah yeah you know little wayne he used to be a part of that group what was
this what was this group's name again turk fit why is little wayne still popping so much because he's
just a legend dude when i was in middle school little wayne was the guy yeah he was like he was
the top rapper guy he's the hot boys yeah the hot boys that's what i thought are you calling him
little wayne i think the reason why they called him little wayne was because he was
He was like 16 at the time, but he was young.
He was little.
And I remember this music video, dude, they had the fucking PT cruisers and shit.
It was lit.
You had a PT.
Sold it.
That's lit.
What was the origination of Lil?
Why are all these rappers called Lil?
There's so many.
I want to know that.
How many rappers go by the name of Lil something?
It's got to be hard to come up with a good rapper name these days.
You put Lil in it and everyone's kind of like, okay.
Lil Ryan.
That works.
You're good.
That's actually not bad.
Big Ken.
Little man, Jay.
He was the youngest member of the time of the hot boys.
Okay.
On Spotify alone, in 2018, they were reported to have over 8,000 artists with Will at the start of their name.
How many of those are overlaps?
That's a lot, bro.
You're out here trying to get a trademark.
Or at least a domain.
I don't know if you guys watch it or not, but Tanner Fox just dropped a new video.
Really?
I haven't seen it yet.
I watched it, too.
This is a new GTR.
Oh, okay.
It's a GDR that he rebuilt.
Yep, saw a little bit about that.
And honestly, I was happy to see that.
I was like, because that was the kind of peak Tanner Fox days when he had guaxilla.
Yeah.
That thing is sick.
And, uh...
Yeah, rebranded the GTR.
How is it?
Is it sick?
I thought it was good.
Yeah, that was pretty good.
Yeah.
He did like a little, uh, Fast and Furious tribute.
Yeah.
To the Paul Walker original R34 or 32, but it's cool.
Yeah, Tanner Fox.
Making the comeback.
He was, he was like, the first YouTuber that we had.
had met. That was like how eye-opening it was. Like Jake Angeles. Yeah. Who also happens to be
scooters with him. But when we met Tanner Fox, we were like, holy crap, how was this even possible?
Like this kid is. He was like the first moving like this. Yeah. I think Tanner would even say this,
though. It's just like when you're that young and you're exposed to that much money and success,
I don't know how good it is for you, especially if you're not, I guess, mentally ready for it.
I think the last couple of years have been pretty tough for him
That thing is nice
He's been trying to figure out maybe his identity
That thing is nice
Holy smokes
And the toughest thing
And this happens at any age
But think it happens the most at around that 18 year old age
Is like how do you know who your friends are
You're your friend
You get a couple close friends
So you think
And then you let them live with you and stuff
And then like you just
You truly don't know who your friends are
I'd say it's like the make or break
You know like you have the friends that are out partying
and you could be out partying or you could be out doing other stuff.
It's kind of like the maker.
It's like the maker break a couple of years, 16, 17, 18.
Yeah.
And even if you're partying, like, you got to make sure those friends aren't just using you to party harder.
Party harder than they could have.
If they're partying with you and, like, taking care of you at the same time, it's great.
But a lot of times it's just like, yeah, my buddy, he likes to party, so I'm going to piggyback off him so I can party hard with him.
I don't really care how his well-being is.
I'm glad we weren't so young when we, you know, we were young, but I'm glad that we weren't so
independent and young when we made it, made it big.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's just like the internet's a pretty tough place to grow up if you're in front of that many
people.
Yeah.
Especially if maybe you are validating your confidence off of what other people have to say.
It was crazy, though, just like hanging out with them back in 2018 or 2019, whenever we became
2020.
2020 right before uh
COVID hit yeah just I guess I don't know
being exposed to like
I guess the success of
someone like that pop in that way
so eye opening I remember we went down there
and he had like his house he had a track
just like his whole operation was like whoa
he'd do it he's like oh this is this is possible
this is cool and he was just kind of a just a normal dude
did uh you guys see cleats new pool
yeah yeah that's sick it's so awesome too
the Chevy pool he made the
right decision go so hard so dummy hard obviously i'm not digging an in-ground pool for myself right now
but i'm like why didn't i think of that that's awesome when they walk by the hot tub here george goes oh
we should have done the hot tub in the shape of a turbo and i'm like damn that would have been a good
idea you think chevi's paying them for that no which is actually crazy they should be they should be
ben are you going to build your house sick like cleas yeah for sure um you're going to go lambo pool
that'd be sick
Lamborghini pool
That'd be a cool shape
That would be a cool shape
When Cletus was talking about building his house
He was like
I think I'm gonna just make it like
So sick
And do everything that I want to do
And hopefully my wife is okay with it
Which is exactly what I see he's doing
Insert giant Chevy pool
Yeah
It's so good
That's actually so sick
There's the happy medium
Because it's like
If you tell your wife
We're getting an in-ground pool
Yeah, she's going to be happy.
Well, like, people wouldn't know, though.
People would come over and they'd go in there and be like, why is, what's the shape of this?
From the house?
Yeah, you probably don't really notice it.
Even from here, how many years you got 1.6 on that?
It's a great title and thumbnail.
It's a good shape for a pool.
You got the sun deck.
You got the wider spot for volleyball, and then you got the deep end.
Looks better than a square.
Like the Dodge logo wouldn't be a very good pool.
Well, I guess then neither would the Lamborghini because it's just a badge.
Yeah.
Right?
I was thinking of the, I was thinking of the rambigini, it's going to be cool.
Yeah, you guys come over.
I got a Lamborghini pool.
You walk in.
My dirt bike is hanging right on the entry.
It's a nice pool, but the shape is just whack.
That's what it should be.
Did you guys see Hayden Deegan what he's building for his house?
Yeah.
I don't know if that was a joke or like, was he being serious?
I think he posted it.
It was just like a rendering.
It's on his Instagram.
But, uh, I mean, that's what a guy like Hayden Deegan should be building for a house.
And Ben, I think you should take note.
I agree.
Take note because you should have a dope-ass house like this.
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, we all should, but you're the only one building the house.
I might have to postpone it another year to go extra dope on it.
Tennis court, too.
We need a tennis court.
You can build some sweet stuff.
Obviously, if you have, like, a bunch of money, you can do anything with it.
But, like, people are just getting more and more creative.
Or, like, architects and designers are just getting, I don't know.
Some of these houses are just insane.
The internet and AI.
stresses me out like I was asking Sydney and she had a good point a normal answer was that's why
you hire architects that's why I hire interior designers but I'm like when the sky is the limit like when
you're learning like oh I didn't even know you could do that and then you learn about it when it's like
you're halfway into your house build and you're like oh I really wish I could do that but you have
concrete and metal and wood laid down like you can't just go back and like redo it yeah no people
are just getting more and more creative and maybe it's just because like you have access to it on the
internet where you can see what other people have done yeah but yeah that's true yeah you used to be
kind of only see like you could either see houses in person or in a magazine that was like it
you need good builders though dude you get some shit builders in there oh my god you'll have a mess
dude j's been hurt like even so like if you want to do some really sick shit you better
find some really good builders because there's a lot of people out there that can't even do
the basics.
Dude.
When my parents built their dream house, the one I grew up in, it was so bad.
There was so many things that went wrong.
And I was like, well, they should be on the line for that once I finally got old enough
to learn.
And they're like, no, they filed for bankruptcy and dissolved right after they built their
house.
Shut off.
Dude, that's what happened with my parents, too.
So, really?
Yeah, we're just literally shut out of luck.
And the window company went bankrupt afterwards so they can't replace them or any of that.
I remember that.
People are really hating that the podcast are too short because we're making the videos.
So, God damn long.
People are back in school.
They want to listen.
Who the hell's back in school?
I don't know.
College is starting up next week.
Like, I don't hang around really anyone who's in school.
And obviously, I don't have any kids or anything like that.
I forget.
Like, it'll be the middle of summer.
I'll be like, I think kids are in school today.
Like, I'll literally drive by.
I'm like, oh, must have no school today.
I'm like, oh, it's summer.
I asked my neighbor that.
Like, how is school today?
She's like, it's July.
Yeah, dude.
It's just crazy because I'm so uninvolved from it.
But.
But, like, I imagine kids are going to get back into school soon because I was reading comments.
I always read the comments or as many as I can.
So when you guys comment on this podcast or even on our YouTube videos, I more than likely will see them.
Yeah, I just see comments like, oh, like so excited, like, that this podcast dropped because now I can listen to it at school.
Like, you know, and I'm like, damn, kids are already firing up at school.
But, you know, one thing I do want to say, this might be a hard thing to hear.
but school is easier than life it sucks because like school is really boring but like just enjoy it
if you're at school dude it was so easy like i look back that shit was fun dude you were hanging with your
friends you were goofing off i wasn't really doing a lot either and i don't know you just like just enjoy
it man just enjoy your time in school and in the present hang with your friends i don't know with your
buddies every day imagine just like you had school coming up in a week it'd be pretty exciting go get to see the
friends again and you know that's a good way to look at cj i don't know if anyone out there looks at
it quite like that trust me when you get older though i wouldn't want to go back to school especially
college but like you look back at like high school middle school elementary school it's kind of
fun yeah football games on friday like that show was fun that shit was fun everybody's firing a big
party texting it out you're heading to somebody's house on a friday you did school was a blast
you're spennie you're selling copenhagen hey day he was just going to work but i was just going to work
Another day at work
Yeah, you can even make money at school
If you're a drug dealer
Well, I sold tech decks
Made some money off that
Really?
Actually, another thing I used to do
Is I used to sell them
Because I'd be on all these dirt bike races
I'd steal the cases of monster
And I would sell the monsters
That's a good idea
Yeah
Kids because like
Hot commodity
It's hard to go to the gas station
Low-cost business too
Yeah, two three bucks
Everybody wants an energy drink in high school
It was like the cool thing
To like have an energy drink on your desk
Dude really
When I was in high school
Kids weren't really drinking energy drinks
We weren't allowed.
My group, yeah, I remember they're pretty taboo.
Like, if you showed up drinking an energy drink,
it was like the same thing as fucking drinking a beer.
Yeah.
Like, they damn near were like,
really?
You know, just like the teachers, energy drinks.
I don't know.
It was just strange how, like.
There was one kid that came to my locker every single day,
and it's hilarious because his name was Kyle,
and he wore these purple, big Osiris, like, high top shoes.
Holy shit.
He and Evan would have been buddies.
Dude.
He was just such a goopy kid, and he would come up.
at like 1030 when we were switching classes
because he knew I'd be at my locker
and he'd come and be like, hey, can I get a monster?
And he like, sometimes he wouldn't add money.
And they'd just be warm?
Yeah, they're sitting my locker.
There's a hot monster locker.
And he'd buy one every single day.
Did you get shut down?
No.
Well, I mean, the principal actually
and then I had another thing where
like I went to Vegas for a race
and Glennie was getting those like
little cards with like the chicks on them.
Oh my God.
And I took those to school.
and I actually got sent to the office for that
because they found that I was handing them out to all my buddies
They were hand out porn at school
They're like where the hell are you getting all these cards
And I just bring a big stack
And just deal them out to all the boys
And just for free just trading cards
Yeah just literally trading cards
Has anyone ever called those numbers
Like one of those numbers and like what happens?
Bro like does it actually
Does that girl actually show up
Or do some people show up and just fucking
Inevitable cat
I don't think it's all
You get mugged
Take your money
Like, I think it's like, hey, call this number and, you know, a Lamborghini's going to pull up.
But then really just a civic pulls up.
Yeah, that's what I'd imagine.
They're, so some context for the listener.
There's like these basically Pokemon cards, but with women explicitly showing themselves.
No, it doesn't have their stats on it.
It's basically a guy.
And then it's got their phone number on it.
And then there's guys in Vegas, like on the sidewalks, like handing these things out.
Like, hey, you want this girl to.
pull up to your room.
But it's like 50 bucks supposedly.
I'm like,
but if you,
I think it's like,
most people know it's not real.
It's like 50 bucks just a little knock on your door and I think it's,
but what does happen?
I don't know.
I'm worried about the girls.
Like what a dangerous job.
Yeah.
Like you're just some random girl and you're going to show up to some dirty
guy's fucking room.
A lot of bad shit could happen.
Like I feel bad for the women that are in that position.
Hopefully they really enjoy their job because like the world's oldest
profession.
Another funny thing that was at our high school too.
is we had like a designated smoking pit outside the high school.
Shut up.
Dude, I had,
Shut up.
No lie.
There was a straight up smoking pit.
And there was a couple kids, I was in a, I was in like the low English class because
I sucked in English.
Because you only knew Canadian at the time.
Yeah, exactly.
There's a couple kids who were like, kind of like gnarlier dudes.
And this one kid would like, we would be doing like a test or something.
And he would, he was just like such a loose cannon.
And you would stand up.
and he'd be like, Mr. Mott,
I'm going for a smoke, and he would just stand up,
and he would walk out and go to smoke a dog.
And what would Mr. Mott, dude?
That's wild.
All right, like, you got to respect that.
That's back when you couldn't just hide a vape in your sweatshirt.
You know, you actually had to go outside of rip a dart.
You weren't heightened shit.
Like, literally, and then, like, he would show up late,
and the teachers would be like, why are you late?
And he's like, oh, I was just, I was finishing my dart.
And, like, they never said anything to him.
He was just like...
Was it legal?
Was he...
He wasn't even of legal age.
That blows my mind.
It was illegal to buy them, but it wasn't illegal to smoke them.
It's like having window tent.
Yeah.
Except for the opposite.
What age can you use tobacco in...
18.
Oh, really?
In Canada.
So they would just...
Some of the kids, I mean, like, every high school had, like, smoking pits, and you, like, knew
that.
It's a smoking pit.
It was just like...
Describe this to me.
It was, so, like, there's the parking lot, and then the school's right here, and there's,
like, a batch of trees.
So it was a dead.
designated spot established by the school for smoking?
Or was it just a spot?
That's where the kids were all the smokers went.
Oh, okay.
The principal and the school cop would go cruise by it at like lunchtime
because they knew like the kids were out there smoking.
And what?
Tell them to stop?
Want to make their presence on?
No, they wouldn't tell them to stop, but they would just be like making sure
they weren't like smoking weed or like doing drugs.
Just cigarette.
It's like obviously like that's where you would go to deal the drugs.
Like you'd meet in the smoking pit.
Makes sense.
Or like if there was ever a fight, they'd be like meet in the smoking pit and you'd go to the
smoking pit and that's how big was this
small bit? Probably like as big as just like
this room. Oh wow. It's pretty big pit.
And is it actually in the ground?
No, it was not an actual
pit. It was like we're like the, where there was like a drain
or something like a bad little couple trees. So you guys are
just standing in water? No, there was just a water.
It was just a little low, a little
wetland. Just a little low, a little low
It had a drain. There's no water.
There's no water. So you guys would just stand
around a drain. I didn't go into the smoking
pit. You sure know a lot about
it, buddy. I bet you were dealing
Monsters to him.
He's taking a troll by the smoking pit.
You're like, I'm not doing the deal out there.
Come to my locker, bro.
What about like cafeterias?
Did you guys have cafeterias in your school?
Yeah, dude.
Every school is a cafeteria.
Wait, what?
I love you, dude.
I love school lunch.
You didn't have a cafeteria?
No, no.
So we had, we had this restaurant called Cocoa Brooks.
Oh, that's cool.
And it was a pizza place.
It was in a tap.
Our school wasn't big enough to have that.
In your school?
In the school.
Big schools.
So all you had your choice was just a pizza?
No, no, no, no.
So they had, like, calzone, pizzas, they had banana bread, coffees,
but you had a standard hot lunch with lunch ladies, too, though, right?
No, no, no, no.
We only had that.
It was just, like, a little, interesting.
So you didn't have, like, a lunch lady's, no thing.
There was no buffet line where you just ran through.
No, it was called Cocoa Brooks, and you'd go up there.
You'd order a pineapple barbecue pizza or you, or you,
no, like, not just pizza.
They had, like, salads and, like, either that or you would pack your own lunch.
Yeah, or you packed your own lunch.
So you never had, like, chicken.
Like, chicken.
Today's chicken nuggets.
And you didn't have a plate with a little milk.
Dude, you know, I'd like to go back to my high school
and see if the school lunch still holds up today.
Oh, yeah.
Who is that?
Who is it?
Hello?
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
It's our buddy from Winnipeg.
Oh!
What up!
What?
What the break.
Is this a bad time show?
No.
You're just fine.
You drop in.
Holy hell, that's hilarious.
I was going.
Did they not tell you we're coming?
No.
No, I knew.
I knew.
No, Spenny told me.
Spenny knows.
I didn't know on the hour when you'd be here.
I could feel it.
I could feel it.
This is what we're saying earlier in the podcast.
People just drop in.
I love it.
It's just another day.
Hey, I got the same hat.
It's just another day.
What up, dude?
How's it going, brother?
How are you doing?
Yeah, come on.
All right, we got the whole crew coming through.
Let's go, love it.
Let's go.
How's it going?
Come on through, what's on, man?
Come on through.
Come on through.
Hey, thanks for coming.
Hey, how's it going?
Take a seat.
Yeah, take a seat.
Unbelievable.
But yeah, anyway, so it was sweet because we could eat in class, too.
I don't know if you guys could eat in class.
No.
But, like, we could literally, we could be in class and 30 minutes in, you're hungry and say,
hey, could I run to, like, the bathroom or whatever, you run to the bathroom, hit Cocoa Brooks.
There's a couple boys hanging out in the, like, the little, like, the, like, the little, capterio or, yeah.
Open all day.
Grab a slice of banana bread, head back up to the classroom.
What the fuck?
It was actually so sick.
Dude, Canada high school was lit.
I was on it.
You're selling me on it.
You didn't graduate, Spenny.
You could go back.
No, I graduated.
Oh, you didn't?
I thought you said you didn't.
No, my brother didn't.
But then he went back and got it after.
I was going to say, you still have a chance to go back and you like it that much.
I even had a sick wood shop teacher that we would be in woodshop, and we'd be like, hey,
is it cool if we run to McDonald's?
Yeah.
And he's like, yeah, just get me a double cheese.
What the fuck?
We would leave class for 30 minutes all the time
And go to McDonald's and grab my cheeseburger
He didn't care
Paying them off
It's always the like to shop
Well I had one shop teacher
That was the biggest cheese dick I've ever met
But the other shop teacher was the same as that
He let us do whatever we wanted
It was great
Build whatever we wanted
Yeah I want someone's shop class
To build another wooden dirt bike
Yeah yeah let's see if anyone
Can build a better wooden dirt bike than us
I mean ride it at your own risk
but I don't think anyone's building a better wooden dirt bike than maybe maybe an Amish colony
that's it but like straight up we got to go down there and maybe start seeing if they can do some
projects for us dude honestly challenge them the Amish those guys know how to work because they'd be
they want to make money they want to make a living I saw a pretty funny video the other day
it was going into an alish colony and just telling them wild things that have happened like yeah
did you guys hear and then and then showing him
an AI video.
Did you hear that, uh,
yeah, like a,
a pack of like rabbit dogs like
took over like the next town over
and then just show them a video of like
the dogs like going into bars and like kicking
people out like just like bizarre things.
That was a bad example.
Remember our Amish buddy that gave us this hat?
Peter Yodel.
He was a he was at WIFF.
That thing is pretty old.
Well, he left his Amish colony.
Now he's got a phone.
He's fucking head Wii Fest.
He FaceTime me when he was at Gavin Adcock.
And I was like, it was so random.
And I'm like, what are you doing?
He's all piled up.
And then I talked to him the next day.
And he goes, oh, fuck.
I don't even remember seeing at Gavin Adcock.
And I'm like, yeah, you called me last night.
Right here.
Hold on, let's hear this.
That crazy news about, so there's cats in the Olympics now.
Cats.
Cats.
Well, you can get these guys with anything now.
Cats in the Olympic.
So look, there's cats.
The kids is like this lit.
Kind of insane.
How do you train a cat, how do that?
This one's from America.
This one's from America.
There's a real sport now.
People are training their cats.
Go jump on me.
I mean, I think the guys not believe that.
Yeah, he's not.
But he's got to be like, how the hell do you make that?
That has to go.
Pretty serious Amish spec, though.
Dude, you guys remember when Nelk made that video with, like, they take the Amish guy to Miami?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
They get a bunch of backlash for that?
They did.
Yeah, they did.
And I think the Amish guy left in the middle of the night.
Like, he felt very uncomfortable.
He was breaking his rules, you know?
Yeah.
Which I think that's not cool to, like, take someone out of their religion or whatever and ruin it, you know?
I wonder if we could drop in, though, and, like, be like, yo.
For example, can you guys build us a woodener?
I bet you they would for sure.
Because, I mean, you can hire them to build you like late cabins and stuff.
I think like worst case in here.
They'll do these little homes.
Worst case, they would just say like we don't want to be on camera.
Yeah, no, it just literally shows us pulling up, giving them the assignment.
Yeah, and then coming back and be like, all right, let's see what they built.
It doesn't have to just be wood, dude.
They can build like anything.
They're super, like if you take like an old car, Grandpa Ron tells me all the time.
He's like, yeah, take an old car, bring it to the omens.
they'll have that thing looking brand new fully restored in like three weeks how did they do it
they do it they have a guy for everything they will build it themselves they're super good and they
they take a lot of pride in their work and they charge you an honest wage there we go that's where
you should have taken the hoon of what i think we do got to go venture out let's do it let's do it
that we can do that be good video i think it'd be great i like that idea yeah also yeah some good
builds. They probably got good eggs, too.
They got good wine, great meat, chicken,
bring it back for everything. Good cows.
Grandpa Ron said he got hammered off their wine.
Grandpa Ron used to hang with the Amish all the time.
Really? Yeah. Yeah, you do like business with them because like
basically he was doing some kind of job where say they're transporting groceries
from wherever to this grocery store and let's just say they didn't make it in a certain
time span. Then they would show up with like this truck full of let's just say peanut butter.
and no, we're not buying it anymore.
The grocery store says we're not buying it anymore.
So then they would sell it to the Amish then.
It would be like his job.
He would like go and like sell it to the Amish for like a quarter of the price or half the price.
They would buy all of it.
Interesting.
Yeah.
And they'd always pay in cash.
They'd always pay in cash.
They'd always pay in cash.
He said they got big money.
I'd be like, wait, you just pulled out an Amex?
What?
Yeah, I got to get through rewards.
The travel rewards.
All right.
Well, perfect, I love that idea, though.
Maybe drop a comment what we should have.
Have the Amish build us.
That'd be actually a really good title.
We had the Amish Restore the Hunicorn.
Not just kidding.
We got Robbie Leighton built the unicorn, but let's just say something else.
Another vehicle we have destroyed.
I have a Chevy.
We got them fix the wooden dirt by.
That'd be easy for them.
They'd have that done before lunch.
I mean, like, I'd like a list of things because they'll probably knock it all out in like a day.
Have them build us a couple ramps.
Imagine we drop off all of our broken stuff there.
None of it is like traditional.
And they're like, who are these guys?
And what are they doing?
Yeah, you can just fix it.
Drop off the boat card.
Ask them if they can make it float.
Probably could.
Okay, subscribe if you haven't.
We post podcast every Tuesday,
and we'll see you guys in the next one.
Take it easy.
Peace.
