Man, this is a Minnesota podcast. Sitting in an ice fishing tent talking about the weather. Yeah. I don't hold my nieces and nephews until they are old enough to take a fall. Canadian sound so ridiculous. No offense. I'm just surprised.

We're thinking about that. Yeah. Did you graduate high school? Yeah, I graduated high school. There's nothing wrong with that. Why do I seem dumb? For a limited time at McDonald's, Enjoy the tasty breakfast trio.

Does anyone have a true ice thickness? right now i mean we drove the four-seater razor out here it's it's looking like 12 inches so that's a lot very safe when you guys were rolling in the razor though i could hear it just do do do do yeah the ice dude the water moves in the hole we got some really important fish marking bobbers that we got chilling in the hole right now so yeah uh jason what are we fishing with none of us are really that proficient of fishermen we come out here for the good vibes and the good time but what are we going to catch tonight jostin because we got to catch a fish i swear if we come out here for this whole two hours when we don't catch a fish.

I'm going to be disappointed. I would also be disappointed. But we'll probably catch pike. There's a lot of walleye in this lake. There's croppy, bass, lots of sunfish. So we'll hopefully catch something. I caught five pike before we started recording. You got five fish already?

You keep saying that. Yeah, it wasn't on camera, so it doesn't count. None of them were big enough to really take a picture of. But, yeah, I got five little slime rockets. What are we doing if we catch a fish? Probably freaking out. Freaking out for sure. I'm not given.

Okay, that you can do that. that one, Mike. I'm just going to be bummed if we only catch pike. Like, we've got to catch something else. That you can fillet. Northern pike sandwiches after this. They're easy to catch and they're mean. So bony.

Pike fish sandwiches. Oh, oh, shit. Oh, that was a... No way. Ben's got that beginner luck with fishing, dude. I hope there's going to be a lot of that this podcast. Dude, Spenny, you look insane right now. Feels good.

It's the wrong color, but it feels good. Yeah, I don't know if, like, you're actually legally allowed to wear that fit. Yeah, well, I mean, we're ice fishing, so we gotta do whatever you want. All the rules apply, yeah. Penny's from Canada. When we were setting this up, Evan was like, no, let's not do it unless we're, like, in an ice castle or something. Like, you know, it'd be way easier to set up all the mics and stuff. I was like, fuck no, dude, we don't normally fish in an ice castle. We've got to come out here in Giants, or in Justin's, to be fair, giant double pop-up

10. But I think Evan was probably right that it was a massive pain in the ass to actually set all of this up. Well, Evan was afraid of blown away. Like, he mentioned it like multiple times. He goes, well, how do you stake your tent down, Justin? He's like, oh, you know, I just stake it down. And he was like, well, how good are the stakes? Like, I could tell that he

had some serious PTSD about this. I don't understand certain things with Evan. It's like, you'll never meet someone more careless in certain situations, but then... Hello? Who's here? The gentleman on your fishing license? Oh, my gosh.

I thought you were Dave. Every single one of us just puckered the moment you did. I had my fishing license. Dude, I legit, we're like fishing like 200 feet in front of Jake's dad's house right now, and I thought Dave was coming over here. He just comes out and yells at us. Get off. Get out of in front of my house.

We were laughing. Oh, that's what I felt too. Oh, no. We got a major pilot right here. Oh, dude, this is what I was wondering. like you got like six guys with rods down in a pretty small hole here like six guys one hole it's too

tight right like how do we avoid the problems here like we're gonna have issues that is not chill at all again I walked like 80% of it too you walk the whole way Ken? We're probably like a half a mile out from shore I saw somebody had a car on the lake

but I'm not quite that ballsy yet on your Tesla? Yeah yeah that's probably a bad idea we were laughing earlier like if the DNR you know came out and checked if we all have fishing license, which we do. But they would pop in, and we got like seven cameras rolling. They would be like, God, these motherfuckers don't do anything off camera, do they? Then we get them in the thumbnail again.

Justin, what's the biggest fish that you've caught ice fishing? Biggest I've caught ice fishing. I got like probably a 20-inch large mouth out of this lake last year. I've never got really big walleye. I just don't fish for walleye that much, but I've got nice pike. What you do have really big of is your boots. things are huge. Yeah, these are literally

says you, bro. Look at you. Hold on now, Mike. You're going to talk shit about my boots. I forgot I was wearing these. I legit was like just staring at your boots like, dude, those are huge. And then I really did look down.

My boots have been donated for our community use now. They have because you don't wear them. For the record, I understand why. I was walking here and my shins are fully blowed out. It's just chafing or what? Yeah, the way it just presses. your shin every time you step oh spennie what's that i think you're on bottom there i'm just getting tangled up on the weeds down there oh okay you drop too low drop too low gonna try to see if i can catch one of my

buddies again though wait so spennie do you go ice fishing up in can oh yeah we do some ice fishing but i'm in the city so we got to drive like two hours out of the city to get to the lakes and then you got to hike in like a 45 minute hike with the sled because we don't have snowmobiles is like as much as you guys do really well it's like we live so close to the national so you can't snowmobile, there's no motorized vehicles. So you got a manpower sled out there and then drill and go. How do you get the modellos out there? You got to pack them.

You got to pack them in. Backpack style. Anyone catch any of those modellos? Throw Ken Jimino or Modelo somebody? Ken didn't come here to fish. He came here to drink. My cousin is a fishing guide, and he is, like, he's dirty with the sticks, dude. Like, the kid catches the biggest fish I've ever seen.

I didn't even know that there were fish that big. Yeah, I fish pretty good. Lake of the woods. Oh, that's beautiful. What's he fishing for? Like sturgeon, walleye, pike, I don't know, big fish. But he keeps getting us, or he keeps asking us to, like, come up and film a video up there. But just haven't made it happen, but I think it'd be pretty sweet for a Seaboy's video.

I mean, I'll do like a solo trip, just tested out. Make sure that it's all right. Yeah. Yeah, the kid, like, lives and breathes fishing. like since we were like little kids i used to go up you know and visit them or do our like family shenanigans and uh he was fishing the entire time anyone was ever doing anything like since like we were like three years old and you're like come on man ride a dirt bike or something dude fisherman just love to fish i mean i see why honestly dude this is nice like we all got

tucked in here it's pretty sure you're away from everybody else you kind of just like well i was fishing i'm sorry i couldn't come home for dinner oh sorry i didn't come home for dinner oh sorry i didn't come home for somebody's kintaniera i was busy fishing sorry modella's on my mind i've been recovering from uh living mexican a couple couple days bro you're just in cabo cabo was sick but i just like got the true cobo experience and have been paying the consequences out my ass oh gosh yeah all week bro what bad what were you eating yeah so like in cop or like just in Mexico in general like when you go, as a tourist, your body is just not ready for the parasites that

Mexico offers, right? Those tequila parasites are real. The little worms in the bottom of the tequila right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, I mean, you kind of know it going in, right? People tell you, like, just don't drink, like, the water. Obviously, I'm not a big faucet water drinker to begin with, but they're like

And don't flush your toilet paper. No, that's allowed. Most of Mexico is not. Why? I don't know. They're plumbing can't handle it. They just, like, fold it up and put it in a little can. It's actually weird. Oh, shit. It's crazy. Yeah.

If you go, like, anywhere that is not a resort, they just fold up the toilet paper and put it in a little bucket, a little bucket right beside the toilet. So what happens if someone had, obviously, there's probably tons of people having tacos the night before, and what happens if you have a couple

too many, maybe some extra hot Diablo sauce? Like, I don't know. The toilet paper's got to be just stacked. Yeah, it gets stacked. God, it's got to stink. Is it, like, closed off, though, like a can? Oh, it's just an open garbage can. Bro, that's just gross.

That's how you go into a bathroom here. You're like, oh, this bathroom at the frickin' buckies was really clean. And I'm sure they're like, oh, yeah, they didn't clean out the toilet paper bin in that nasty bathroom. That'd be the worst. It reminds me of the story of one of my friends back when we were in elementary school. I remember I'm telling me about this time we went camping with this other kid. And they were, like, staying in this, like, obviously a camper. but, like, they weren't flushing the toilet paper,

so they were, like, throwing it in garbage. Oh, we caught one. No way, dude. No. Cop Ben. Lost him. Had him, but then we lost them. Oh, Spenny.

But anyway, so, like, they were, like, throwing it in this, like, little, like, basically a trash can, like, what you say. And, like, for some reason, he was sleeping in, like, a sleeping bag. And, like, he was sleeping on the floor, like, super close to, like, that trash can, I guess. He was there for, like, a week. But I just remember him.

telling me like yeah it fucking sucked it sucked and it smelled so bad and you know it just it was like one of those families that's kind of difficult to be around and he didn't really know until he was already in it you know camping and wherever they were camping and toilet paper and jars and that sounds tough but yeah that Mexico sounds very similar yeah yeah my i guess my experience wasn't quite like that but you're probably staying a nice place dude that wedding you're at was was insane it was insane yeah it was crazy it was it was crazy it was it was He was, like, hands down, like, the most insane wedding I've ever been to. What do you think that was a million-dollar wedding?

I don't know. It's hard to say. Half a mill? Half a mill for sure, I'd say. Really? Yeah. Oh, do you see the fireworks that they had and everything? What?

Dude, I can't wait for Monty Mike's wedding, though, because I heard he's going to top it. Mike's doing a mill. One mil. Yeah, I was joking about that. Like, oh, man, I better be sending videos and picks to Mike. But, yeah, no, it was crazy. Like, you got to. I guess putting in context, like, how wild it,

was like just after everyone got done eating dinner they just gave out bottles of casa azul which is like a three hundred dollar bottle of tequila and they just walked around and just like handed them out as just like a here we go let's get fucked up been in mexico that's like tito's yeah i think it's it's like uh you know pretty disrespectful to not be drinking tequila i'd imagine so like i was joking with uh my my girlfriend's cousin's boyfriend we're buddies And he was down there too. So we always joke, like, when we're out, you know, getting into it, like, drinking and partying together.

Like, the girls are always, like, keeping an eye on us because we're pretty rowdy. As they are, I'm pretty. And so, like, well, I always joke, like, yeah, we were the best behaved guys at the party last night. Like, you haven't heard people have been talking. So we were joking, like, the night after, like, this was a three-day wedding, right? So, like, three different events, like, three days in a row. And so, like, after the first night, we were just, like, joking with the girls. I was like, yeah, oh, you guys didn't see, like, yeah, me and Ryan were in the, the Cabo news

last, uh, for last night's party. Like, they just took a photo of a stand in there and, and just captioned it, like, best behaved men in all of Cabo, like, grace us with their presence. And actually what it said. No, we were just joking. Yeah, it was actually in there, Mike. Oh, we were just joking. Like, no, we were just like telling Greta and, uh, his girlfriend that.

And, and, uh, so we're, you know, we're laughing about it. And the girls, like, no, it's a joke at this point. but other people didn't right so like me and me and Ryan were kind of just like playing it out and like telling other people that like yeah like me and Ryan are in Cabo today like best behaved men and all of all of Cabo and people like wow that's that's crazy actually right you guys were terrible how bad is everybody else behaving right and we're kind of joking about this like you know all three days and and on the last night you know there's photographers everywhere so there was like four or five actual wedding photographers then there's a

person running around filming everything on an iPhone and then there's a person filming everything on an Android dude yeah right straight up vertical or like landscape vertical? Oh wow

my gosh vertical yeah was getting landscape? Yes there was probably people getting landscape too. What about drone guys any drone guys? FPV? No drone. Multiple drone guys. There was drone, there was drone. There was drone.

There was drone. They were doing the vows just like I'm standing there. getting a drink and the photographer comes up and is like, I love the way you're standing. Stay just like that. And I'm like, like, I'm kind of looking over, right? One eye closed looking for tequila. Yeah, I'm like, I'm ordering a drink and I have a drink in my hand, right? I'm like, okay, yeah, you like that? You know, oh, like this, yeah? So I'm standing there and they're snapping away, right? I was just enjoying myself. And me, and Ryan were laughing at each other like man they're probably going to take a photo of us tonight

and post it tomorrow and say well-deserved night off for the best behave met in Cabo right I'm editing the video yesterday and I just get a text from my girlfriend's brother who's got a bunch of friends down there and he just goes bro you're in Cabo today and it's this photo of me standing there striking a pose and it's in the newspaper look at me bro what the heck No, what the head? Why were you in the paper? Just for this exuberant wedding or what? No, I think they just...

I think they shot a bunch of photos and they happened to use one of you, which is insanely ironic. No, I think it was because, like, they were just like, yeah, I mean, like, such a well-behaved man. Like, we need to, we need to document this moment. Well, then it all made sense. Did they use your name? Yeah.

They knew it was you or they, it wasn't just like a guest? Yvonne. Why? Ben Roth. I didn't give them my name either. I don't know. They figure it out. No idea.

De list celebrities. was fine. Everyone's kind of going on a little trips here at the end of the year as far as I'm concerned, right? Mike, you're going in Florida. Yeah. Ryan, where are you headed? I'm not concerned.

I'm going to Cancun. You're going to Mexico. I'm going to Mexico. Good luck with that. Did you shut the country down? Are they going to be like, oh, no, another one is back? No, they should welcome you with open arms. Hopefully with a bottle of tequila. Kenjamin, where are you going? Are you going back to? Vegas because if you are, I'm going to send somebody

to keep an eye on you. He's going on these weekend trips to Vegas. I actually don't have any flights you're planning. I guarantee Ken, you should come with me, Alex, and Tint and Angela. Tint was trying to schmooze me into going to Florida. He wanted you to come back, huh? I think I will. He didn't even know Alex and I are coming. He just really likes you, Angela, and him.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Ken went to Hawaii with our buddy Tint and Angela last year. Yeah, we had a great time last year. But anyways, yeah, you should come with. Yeah, you should come with, too, since you don't have anything. Justin, you're having a baby. I'm having a baby. Well, my wife's having a baby, and I'm probably going to tell you. Justin might be having a baby tonight.

You had a burrito for lunch. What are you planning, Siege? I don't know. We're going to Florida, though. Like Clearwater or something? Florida sounds pretty nice. Yeah, you should come with. Because I'm either going to do that, or I'm going to be out on the ice fishing with Justin the whole time.

Yeah, because if you're staying back, then we're going to post up right in here. I'm just dangle. Did you guys hear about the one guy from Wisconsin? that went missing and they did like a full man hunt for him for two months and then they uh they ended up tracking him down and he faked his own death yeah he faked his own death in wisconsin and then they've ended up finding him but he was in a youtube video before do you hear about that oh i know what you're talking about yeah you didn't hear about that part of it they got him on an interview he's on like a man on the street interview and like let's say

stana monica i'm not sure but a warm area and some ladies asking questions and it's like what are you contemplating and he's like I'm just thinking about moving to the Ukraine and she's like why and she's like for a woman he's like okay and then like asks him a couple more questions and then he just bikes off and then they figured

out later that it was him shit I'm gonna be on news I'm he like played into it well yeah so I guess what's confusing about it so so he goes out like 45 and he had like a wife and kids that makes sense why he did it That sounds why he did it.

Because he was 45. He was just like, yo, I got to switch it up. He was trying to get out of his marriage. He was ready for a different life. I see where he was coming from. I mean, it makes sense. I guess he got quite as clear as C.J. Come to that conclusion real quick.

Sejian's like, yo, this guy's going to just get divorced. Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty heavy. Pretty heavy. I don't know then what happened. So how reason was this? No one knows what happened. No, no, no, I know what happened.

I was just trying to think of, like, why, like, what was going through his head. I put money on it. Okay, so the guy, what did you just say? I said I'd put money on it. That's exactly what happened. He was trying to get out of his marriage. He was sick of doing that. Yeah, so the guy met a chick online, right?

And he, she was from Georgia or Jordan. Georgia, right? He goes out on a kayak, and he, like, capsizes the kayak with all of his, like, wallet and phone and everything. and so it looked like he had like drowned and then he took a inflatable boat paddled back to shore and then he took like three trains Canada and then e-bike to a bus station crossed the border into Canada and then took a flight to Europe took a flight to Europe yeah okay so then when he did that though he backed up his computer and then they were able to like track his computer and so they knew he was still active I believe and then they emailed him like saying

saying like, hey, we know you're alive. Like, we just spent the last two months doing like a manhunt. Like, now you're in trouble for this and that. And then the guy, like, emailed back a video of him, like, in this apartment saying, like, I'm okay. I'm safe. I'm well. And then I thought that was the end of it.

And then they were still looking for them. So then I thought for sure, like the geogessers were going to be put on it. Like, where's this apartment? Like, how can we track him down? He also, he didn't need to break the law, though. He also took out a $375,000 life insurance. policy, transferred it to a foreign bank account, and then... Damn.

So he basically faked his own death and made the money off of his own thing. He didn't even give it to his family? Yeah, that's a legal. This guy's a dick. This guy's a dick. Seriously, it's wanting to leave, but then fake your death and put him through that. Going to Europe, I had, like, I had water damage on my passport, and I didn't get let through.

So he must have had, like, fake passports and stuff, too. You had water damage on your passport? I had, like, a minor water damage on my passport, and I missed a trip to Italy. for it what yeah i showed up at i showed up at the counter and i had already gone to like japan and france and stuff and i showed up at the counter like two hours from my flight and the lady my passport and she's like yeah we can't accept this and i'm like what do you mean you can't accept it like i just flew to japan like a month ago like what do you mean and she's like yeah like our airline won't accept this like you you can't fly and i'm like how like it just

did and then i just yeah i had to get another flight so i missed a flight and then paid another two grand. So, like, this guy must have had, like, some crazy passports or something. Oh, yeah. You didn't put it in rice or anything? Well, no, I mean, I tried, but it had, like, uh, the font was diluted. Those are the worst situations.

I would have gotten to a different counter. Yeah. Well, no, I tried. I tried. I tried. And then the manager came, and the manager was, like, getting mad at me. And they're, the first thing they were mad because my bag was overweight, and I was carrying, like, four bags, so they're just all pissed about that. And then the passport on top, it was

Like, yeah, they were like, I guess, I don't know, they just turned me away. It was weird. They said, no way is this guy getting in Italy. So I had to buy another flight that was like, I think it was $2,700 for another flight, like, five hours. Where'd you fly the moon? I was going Italy. Flights are expensive. It's like an 18-hour flight.

I guess, makes sense. Yeah, anyway, dude, what a weird man where he thought, like, yeah, I'm going to put my family through that rather than, like, ask for a divorce. That's a real asshole move. No kidding. I don't know if you can be much worse. Talk about like non-confrontation. Dude, fuck, that'd be Ken. Yeah.

I guess you can do that shit, dude. Ken's so non-conferation. Ken's over here, he's like, damn, that's a good idea. He said, 10 wouldn't leave the country. Just go to Vegas. What would be nice for you, Ken, is you could just go back to your original name. That would be easier. All you would have.

have to do who's just drop this new alter ego that you've kind of been pushed on shave your beard and life would be completely different i don't like i can go that far he's like i can take my death but i'm not shaving i did that once god remember ken shaved bearded that era this summer that was disturbing he showed up he showed up and we're all like bro what what what what what's are you going to look like i've been bob's burgers it made me feel uncomfortable just looking in the mirrors. Ken took all the mirrors out of the house during that month. Yeah, they just all managed to break. I don't know what happened. Dolan's got a pick of you. Show Ken, show Ken. Can, show Ken, get his face. Ken, how did you end up in that scenario? How did you end up with that

short of a beard? So it started like we had the goatee thing for Evan and Rich, and then I tried to trim it, and then I used the wrong, like, guard. So it was just way too short. So it was just way too short. and I was like, I can't just leave it like patchy. I had to go the whole way. Would you hit, you hit the number one on the beard by accident? I hit the number three when I was trying for the number 12. Thank you for that play-by-play. Dude, I was in Arizona this last weekend, and I forgot my beard trimmer.

And, like, I was pretty scruffy. So I was like, I probably, like, got to take care of this. I walked by, like, a barbershop. And I was like, well, they probably cut beards. And, like, why would I buy a whole other trimmer thing when I could just pay for a beer trim. So I walked in there and this old man at the counter

slaps me, you know? I think, I can't remember what movie they, but like, when they come in, they slap all the stuff on your face and lather you up with foam and... Did he sit you down at least before he sat down? I'm not sure if he just walks in. He sat me down. He sat me down. And yeah, dude, he like went through this whole thing

and like shaped up my beard. I was so nervous, dude. He started doing the thing where like they cut in like the line in your Yeah, I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to look so stupid. Did he do it with, like, the actual razor blade? Yeah, he did, like, a five-step process. Like, they do one of your hair, you know, where they do the big razor, or the big buzzer, and then the small buzzer, and then the scissors, and then they used, like, a skin one,

and then they used a straight blade. It took, like, 35 minutes. First of all, I thought. Yeah, it was awesome. Like, they just did it, and I thought I'd look nice. Like, I thought they did a good job. Did anyone tell you that? No

No I didn't actually I'm sorry And so it comes time to pay I'm like You know whatever It's just a little beard trim

It can't be that much 45 bucks Get your beard trimmed up In Scottsdale I'm glad it's an experience But that's steep Yeah It'd be kind of funny

If I went in For that Yeah You know Yeah Just give me Looking right boss And he's like

looking at me like, bro, you have nothing on your face. Like, just tweezers the one hair out. Yeah. Sends you on your way. Still $45 bucks. I wonder how much money I've saved in the last four and a half years not having to go to the barber once. Probably a lot. I was thinking about that the other day that like haircuts just aren't a thing for you.

It's kind of part of your daily routine. Yeah, every day. Shave it. Get a new haircut every single day. But like scheduling an appointment, whatever, going in for your tipping, all that. None of it. It doesn't exist for you. It had sent somebody a picture of me from 2015 today, and I had, like, the opposite.

Like, I had a hair on my head and nothing on my face. It was pretty strange to see. That makes me so uncomfortable. Like, somebody, I don't want to out you like this, but somebody sent a picture of you from 2015. No, I sent the picture myself. It's normal. Don't worry about it. That scared the shit out of me.

Don't worry about it. I didn't recognize you. No, I didn't recognize myself is what I'm getting at. I think you look better now. We got one more. Oh, let's go. Oh, baby. Let's go, Sreney.

It's big. Hey! What is that? Dude, that's a good-sized fish. Nice. Of course, the Canadian gets the first one. Oh, no. Oh, no.

He slipped away. Grab your pole. Does he still have your hook? No, he took it with him. He took my hook with him. And the whole rod? No, the rod's here, but he took the hook. He broke your line.

Damn. Catch him again. That guy's going to have a hook hand. Guess what? That'll shake it loose. Are we using barbs or are we playing for keeps or what? Those were, those were barbed. Well, we caught a fish.

Thank God. I didn't think we, I was starting to want it. Spenny, you kind of panicked there. Got excited, man. That's a lot of action. Yeah, well. I haven't seen action like that in a while. Yeah.

What would you say if we said doesn't count? I don't stand on anything for that. Yeah, you didn't pick it up. You didn't like hold it. Yeah, you got to hold it. Were you just like keeping it sitting there? Can't tell you, man. Yeah, what's your seat?

I can't tell you. He's been working. I can't tell you. Have you been working it? I can't tell you. Is that a fish right there? I can't tell you how I use my pole. Why not, though?

Because then I don't want to be the last guy to jump in. The last guy to jump in. I thought you said whoever doesn't cast the most has to jump in. Cast? Catch the most. We're in a fish house. Catch the most. You feel in our ice bag?

It would actually be pretty brutal ice bathing. Dude, rumor has it. If we stay in here long enough, a while Jake Sherbrook will pop out. through the hole. He'll just swim underneath and pop up. I wonder if Jake would come out here and cold plunge in this. At the end of the pod? At the end of the pod?

Somebody shoot him a text. Dude, cold plunges were, like, so popular last year. They still are popular. Are they as popular? I think so. I don't think everyone's talking about them as much because, like, it's either something you do when you, like, keep doing, or... Yeah, you kind of get over the fad.

I can tell you the one that I did last week, the few days after was the best I've felt in a long time. Really? Yeah, I got to keep up with it because, like, my back hasn't been hurting as bad. It's definitely worth it. Wow. What's, like, another health fad that's, like, come and gone that they figured out, like, wasn't good for you? Smoking cigarettes.

They used to think it was healthy for you. Really? Yeah. That doesn't really seem like it's healthy for you, but I do wonder that. Like, I'm a cold plunger. Like, I think they're good. But I wonder if too much cold plunging is bad for you. Like, if it's hard on your heart, if it's hard on your body, if it's hard on your nerve endings.

If it's probably hard on your nuts, dude. What's worse for your nuts? Heat or cold? Either end. Either end? Yeah, I think just doing both, like, they say if you wear a boxer briefs and they're too tight,

then your nuts can't sag and they get too hot. Really? And then it can, like, kill your sperm count and your testosterone. I think hot tubs are pretty bad for your nuts. I mean, it depends how long you're staying in. It really just boils down to moderation.

Yeah, I feel like moderation. Yeah, I mean, who knows, honestly, maybe cold punching every day. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes! Oh, my gosh. He's running away on you. Your little rod, it's bending.

Take the what? Oh, is it the same fish? Is it the same fish? Another pike. Let's go. There you go. Dude, the night bite. We're heating up, fellas. You got to hold it, Benny. Hey, here we go.

Nice. That's pretty awesome. It looks just like you're, Spenny, but it's not. It looks just like you, Ben. Kiss it. It looks, it's got your eyes. It looks just like you. Dude, they just are like angry.

He's just walking down, dude. He doesn't want you to take it out. Gosh, how funny would be if Ben got bit by this pike. Dude, this guy's clamped down. He ain't liking it. I think you got to let up, Ben, so he opens his mouth. You're squeezing them too high. It's like a dog.

You're like prying the tennis ball out of the dog's mouth right now. Two fish in 39 minutes. Pretty good. Not bad. Justin's like the ice fishing master out here. He goes by himself. How long can a fish stay out of water? A pike can stay out of water for a while.

Hold it really, really close to the camera. It is kind of small. Look at this thing. Insanely big fish. What is it? 45 inches? Yeah, at least 45. Could be touching 46.

You can tell by the way your hands go all the way around it. What are you doing? Are you, Ben, just stick? What are you going to do? Benj is like, so this is my pet now, right? You held it and then just stared into the hole and smiled. Oh, he's a floater. Killed him.

Nah, he's chilling. He's coming back for the Modellos. Yeah. And he's gone. Dude, you know one of my favorite ice fishing memories ever? Obviously, Jeff's fish. We've talked about that before. But when we came out here and Ken took a minnow shot with Fireball.

Oh, my gosh. And then he spits it back up. And he goes, oh, I hate cinnamon. Dude, yeah, Ken threw up. Was that for our one or two million? million and then I threw up after you started throwing up. Here we go. Come on, Ken.

Oh, oh, on the knee. On the knee. You didn't even... You didn't even swallow it, bro. I hate Fireball. I thought what? I kind of caused a chain reaction to that one. I think I threw up in the ice house.

I think another person... I at least made it outside. And then Randy sold the fish house. Yeah, we were borrowing. borrowing Ryan's dad's fish house and then he sold that motherfucker because it smelled like puke. Puk in there. He's like, really? I use this thing like twice a year and now it smells like

puke. Dude, that was sick. I see why people do it. You like that Spenny? How'd it feel to pet that little thing? Yeah, that was nice. Are we counting that as the first fish? I mean Spenny didn't hold his up to the camera so. I'd say Ben got the first one. I got mine up by the line

I'd say it's a half. It's a half for you. I do think Spennies was bigger though. Spennies was a little bit bigger than Ben's. Mine probably would have ate Benes. This was bigger, Spenny, yeah. Well, we'll know if we catch Spennings because he still has a hook hang out. It's going to become a lake-eyed a legend. Yeah, call it jingles.

That wasn't the Jeff's Fish Lure, was it? That was the Jeff's Fish lure. No. So, okay, guys, easy. Spenny doesn't know. It's like when a dog shits on your couch or something, but they don't know any better. So you did just shit on the couch, but... You lost one of the most legendary lures.

To be fair, that lure should have been on the wall. Yeah, it's really... Not to fish. Just the lure. That was a family heirloom. Was it? Yeah, I got that from my grandpa's, grandpa's sister's brother-in-law.

Probably fine. Yeah, it'll be fine. Yeah, don't worry about it. I'll catch it back. Don't worry. All right, yeah. Catch it back. The most epic thing ever.

Yeah, then we're all jumping in the hole. That would be electric. If you catch that same fish and it still got the lure in its mouth, we're all jumping in the hole. I'd probably pull up my whole bank account out and put it on red. You catch it, we're doing that. You know, Ken doesn't need an excuse to go to Vegas.

This is actually. probably a good time. Ken, I got a question for you. Fire away. We had Friendsgiving a couple weeks ago, and everyone was there, except for Ken. Some other people, they did a chili cookoff, and I went to that. I was going to go there for an hour, and then I was going to go to Friendsgiving, and

then it just turned into a lot of shots, and I didn't want to drive the 30 minutes into DL where Friendsgiving was, so I had to write that one off. You got some heat from the girls, Ken? Yeah, the ladies were... Well, I'd rather take some heat from the girls in a Dewey. They're pretty convinced that you're mad at them or something. Well, I mean, no, but Yeah. Why? Because they've been exploiting me on their TikTok page. Yeah. Oh, yeah, and they couldn't do it that night. Yeah. Let's just say Greta was more upset than anyone. Why? Because she

missed out on some TikToks? Yes. She had, yeah, let's just say a whole plan for it. You imagine her shaking you at like 1 a.m. being like, oh, this just isn't pulling the views I was hoping. Of course, Ken didn't show up. Yeah, no, Greto was like, telling me. me all these different TikToks that she wanted to film and uh she always wants me to hop in on them because for some reason i wonder why they do better they do better but uh thankfully she got ken to hop in on some of them when we were in nashville and they exploded they did they did insane numbers so greta doesn't even ask me anymore she's like what do you think ken's doing you know who the thumbnail guy is she's like you should invite ken over you're a little worried about that do you think ken no ken

go for it she's like you think ken would want to like go out to dinner with us wants ken to start third wheeling us i i might have to uh to put a stop to some of these tictox for a little bit i have been a little too exposed down there really can you elaborate on ticot you're exposed on ticot down there not for that chinese censorship app what's the deal with that i heard they were like going to ban ticot like for years now i just saw another thing are they actually going to like i don't foresee it i don't really either but they keep talking about it. They've talked about that on and off for like five years. I'm not really a TikTok guy, so it would literally be no hair off my chest. I hope it does. I know a lot of people

freaking love it. I hope TikTok is banned. Why? Because they keep taking your TikTok so you post up? Yes. That's a large, large part of it. Did you set up your Xbox yet? Yeah, Ben. You didn't set up your Xbox yet? I haven't set my Xbox up yet. Man, why didn't you set up your Xbox yet? Yeah, why? Well, I've been... I've been home one night in the last week. Yeah, because you don't have your Xbox set up. That might be part of it. I actually am super excited to do it, though. Dude, honestly, an absolute insane boys night would be fishing until about six,

and then we go get dinner somewhere, and then we go play Xbox. That would go insane. We could play Xbox on the ice, because you have a Starlink. We have generators. We could literally have Xbox on ice. That reminds me. That reminds me when we did the Igloo and we were watching UFC and we were playing what is a Nintendo Switch, that'd be so fun.

It's only going to take, like, three days to update my Xbox because it hasn't been turned on in, like, two years, but... What kind of Xbox do you have? If you just say, if you say 360 right now... No, it's, is it an S? It's the rectangle. They're all rectangle. Well, one's like...

It's the one that's shaped like a box, and it's a little more square. I actually just got the new Xbox because I was kind of dogging on it a couple of pods ago, but I was like, you know, I got to give it a try. These guys are all doing it. And then I had an old-ass Xbox. I had the original Xbox one, had to go swap it out, and I'm ready to go home and play the new Call of Duty. That shit was so fun.

You got back into it, huh? Yeah, so fun. I'm tearing it up, too. I hate to say it. Really? Taring it up. What are you running? Warzone, Team Death Match.

Just like any... Search? Just everything. Everything. I don't have, like, a game type. Gun game? Dude, prop hunt nights. When we used to play prop hunt at the college house,

that was so funny, dude. Yeah, that was fun. Limited laughs. Oh, that's the best. Do they still have that? Yeah, they brought it back for this new game. CJ won't say it, but I'm pretty sure that's why it got the Xbox. Just to play prop hunt.

Just solo. I can't take Mike serious right now, dude. Is that Ken's old jacket? No. That's not Ken's trash bag? Went over this. It looks like it, dude. Ken threw it away.

Ken, you threw away your trash bag? No, it's in closet. Oh, he still got it. Okay, good. I don't know why he's throw it away. I really should be wearing the big red hat. Oh, yeah, then it'd be perfect. It would actually been hilarious.

Jason, are you wearing Ken's underwear or did you end up? Mine's driving Ken's car. Ken's just a family, man. Only for another week, dude. Ken's pretty fertile for that. Ken, you really are a homie hookup. I swear, more people have driven my Bronco in the last six months than me. I believe it.

I put on maybe 500 miles on that thing, and it's had like 3,000 miles put on it. You kind of like that, too? Have you looked at it lately, bro? I have driven it all over $10,000, too, brother. I put like 1,500 miles on zip out of it from you. Oh, my God. Holy shit. You take it on a road trip?

It was just under $10,000 when I let you start driving it. Oh, bro, I think it's like $11.5 now. I have been taking it through holiday a lot, though. Have you noticed? It's been clean. I appreciate that. Oh, jam, you too. You have driven it a lot.

I think's going to eat an oil change soon. My gift, like, when I gave it back to you, it was going to be that I filled it up with gas and then maybe cleaned it a little bit, and now I'm going to have to get you an oil change, clean it, detail it because it's pretty dirty, and fill it up with gas. At least it's being used.

Oh, fucking. You're on top of the ice. Why am I not catching any fish? CJ's is three inches under the water. I was looking at the thing, I wonder which one was mine. Oh my gosh. Stop that down a little bit.

What temperature do you guys think is like really cold? Like when you walk outside, you're like, damn, this sucks. Because it changes now, like, you know, with the seasons, you kind of, you kind of get used to it, you know, where 30 degrees is super cold, and then 30 degrees is like... Spring day. Yeah, literally.

I think anything below zero, anything below zero is cold. Walked outside today, and it was six above, and the sun was shining, and I thought it was like 25 out. I was like, this is really nice. I know. I was just saying that to Ryan. When we were filming the mini-execators, no really snow on the ground, it was freezing that day, but realistically, it was.

It's like 25 with some wind. And now it's like negative five with some wind. I was going to say seven. Like if it gets below seven, then it's just pretty cold. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the wind. Man, this is a Minnesota podcast. Sitting in an ice fishing tent talking about the weather. Yeah.

What the fuck are we doing? You know what we just like say something to try to like troll someone and get them to have a conversation? I always say that. I'm like, dude, like however wind got invented, like it's so. bogus and then someone takes you seriously and they're like dude like no one invented wind and I'm like well yeah someone had to otherwise where would it like where would it come

from? Don't some people think that like windmills make it windier Oh yeah yes you can convince I mean it sounds like something you would convince someone up there was a whole thing on Pelican Lake a lake right over by us that when they put the windmills up there was like a whole community that was like

oh the windmills are making it windy around here never used to be this windy until they put the windmills in And they were trying to get them taken down, which is actually kind of insane. That's hilarious. To be fair, they're the ugliest thing on that. They ruin the view on that part of the lake. So, I mean, I kind of see where they're coming from. I don't think they're that ugly.

Yeah, I don't hate them anymore. I think they add to the landscape. They do think they're ugly. But when they started coming about, I remember being like, whoa, we got the big white windmills. And I still feel kind of that way about them. I view, like, some of these cell towers as more of, like, a visual nuisance than those windmills. I would agree. The hell towers are ugly.

Yeah, they all, yeah, they just look like that. Arell power is bad for your health, too. Like, they emit radiation. I mean, yeah. I think it's a conspiracy. 5G. Bro, I can't remember who we were talking. I'll debate this one to my death.

No, I bet. There's no shot that that's doing anything to you. It's way too low power. Like, radio transmissions need to be a way higher power amount to actually do anything to your physical DNA. Yeah, but what about the gay frogs? Yeah. What about?

Like, over, like, over the. the course of what? You will be exposed over your lifetime, you will be exposed to, it's not going to do anything. It's way too low a power to cause any kind of impact to your health. There's no shot. Man, I don't know, Justin, I could see in like 20 years people coming out, like the facts coming out differently from cell phones. There's been plenty of time and data to come out on it.

I don't think there's anything that's going to cause any damage. It's very, very, very low transmission power. Doesn't it say that you're supposed to like hold your iPhone? like off your body like even even in apples but what about when you when you're walking up to your car and you're gonna you don't have enough range

like you notice Astro start your car and if you put it to your chin then it'll work with that I don't think it totally works you never done it? I've never even heard of yeah it uses your head as an antenna both Ben and seizure look at him and he goes this explains so much

can't cause your head to grow Yeah, Ryan. That's why Ryan's how Ryan's got such a big knock. When Ryan was a kid, his parents had to park across the street. All right, honey, wake up and open up your mouth. Oh, that sounds sucks. You guys were talking about... That might explain a lot of his problems, no.

You guys were talking about 5G and your brains, but, like, I always wonder when I'm, like, when I'm, like, driving, I'll put my phone between my legs, and then I'm like, oh, yeah, I probably shouldn't do that because the, like, RFID or whatever, the... Yeah, they say not to put on your nuts, but I'm surprised that you would even think of that, Mike. No offense, I'm just surprised at you're thinking about that. Taken, yeah. You just don't seem like you would care. These pants have like RFID blockers.

RFID and RF are two completely different things. Either way, I just want my sack to be okay. I don't want it to get radio waves. You could freeze some sperm. They don't even have to worry about it, really. I've thought about doing that. What would you do with it? You just put in your...

Yeah, probably put it in my freezer. What do you mean? What would I do? You'd like that should go in a different freezer. You'd just get a little vial and then put it in the back. Dude, it's like pretty cold out right now. Like, we should... We could do it.

All right, guys. End of this podcast. Honestly, it wouldn't be a bad idea to freeze your sperm. I know. I've thought of... Like, it wouldn't. I've thought about it mostly because I've had a lot of problems, like, over the years. True.

Yeah, one time I got a hernia in my nuts. Third nut. one time I got a really bad cyst I still have that actually in my nut I thought the hernia and the cysts were the same thing no they were different really two different things yeah they were two different things two different nut related injuries yeah kind of strange so yeah I have I have contemplated that CJ

are you using it honestly I don't know if it would be yeah you used this thing of the puncher I would yeah is Greta into some weird shit punching your sack there's some guys fucking Mike Tyson down there dude Speed bag in it? Be like being kicked in the nuts or whatever. The old one, two, Mayweather on the sacks. Is she speedbagging it?

Just fucking. I love the triple-topser, dude. Is she speedbagging it? Hey, real quick. Is she speed-bagging? Ben just looks over and goes, yeah. And he goes, nice. Your girl isn't speed-bagging?

Well, I do go to hernia, so maybe I got something the same going on. Really? Do you have a hernia, too? I've had one since March, and I'm too scared to go. the surgery. And you have a third nut? No, just two. Like, but it's not out of your sack, because that happens. No, it's like groinel.

It's groinel. So, like, almost above. Dude, you guys have a lot of the same kind of... Yeah, me and Ben do. Kind of look alike, too. Ben looks more Canadian today, though. Yeah, he does. Yeah, you're looking like USA man here. Captain America. Do you think it's because you ride dirt bikes, dude?

Like, I never hear quad guys getting freaking hernius. Yeah, they... Say it. Say it. I've been riding a lot of quads lately. Is it been feeling better? Is that pre-re-repost-urne?

It has been feeling better, actually. Heard it here first. Quads cure hernias? So did we catch them all, or are they still down there? What's going on here? Actually, though, Justin, so I mean, like, when you... Are we just too late to the party? Oh, yeah, about an hour.

Interesting. Dude, this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I think I love... like ice fishing better than regular fishing. That's not an unpopular opinion at all. Yeah, because you're just chilling. Like you set up camp, you're just chilling in like a cool little fort basically for however long, whereas you're on a boat, it's hot, you're rocking. You're like, God, I don't know if I want to be sitting on the boat.

I want to be in the boat. Yeah. Or in the water, you know. I put my boat in this spring and the next time I touched it, I was taking it out. I didn't use it once. And I'm all fired up for ice fishing. I can't wait to spend some day. out here with Justin. Oh, yeah. Ripping some lips.

Spenny's fired up for it, too, I know. I've been off the fishing. I used to go a lot. I'm kind of retired, though. You're going to have to come out of retirement, I think, if you're spending more time down here. Yeah, I might have to. We've got to go spearing, dude. I still can't believe that you can't spear pike in Canada. That is such a, that's the best kind of... Spearing's probably more exhilarating. Yeah. Because then, like, when pike, you'd put a decoy down in there, and you can see the

pike come through and they just come in slow and then launch a spear at them. It's the best. normally actually when i fish in canada we're fishing at like 70 to 75 to 80 feet yeah you do you trout fishing yeah yeah yeah so quite a bit deeper like right now we're only fishing what 12 feet 12. 12.4 yeah this lake's only a deepest spot in this lake's like 19 feet yeah we're going like deep dude you guys hear that they sold our wakeboard boat they did yeah i did see that it went to some guy in philadelphia no way dude's sad to see a go but yeah i am kind of sad to see you ago but it's uh she was a great boat great boat but i think we might be able to build another one again so we'll have to figure out a color scheme if we did red yeah red would be sick all red red maybe that's good all red black interior why mess with perfection i wonder why that boat took so long to kind of sell like it didn't necessarily take that long i guess it was only it was listed in the off season but it didn't sell that first season you think because it was red and a lot of people don't want a big red

boat? No, because they say resale red. Big price tag. I think, yeah, it's probably a big boat, big boat, smaller market. Yeah, you're right. It's just expensive, but. Big boat. Yeah, shout out you motors, though, coming through for us.

Seriously, the best. The deal with that boat is, like, we got to design it, pick everything about it, from the size to the color of the interior, to the exterior. Like, they told us, like, don't spare any expenses, do whatever you want. We loaded it up. Yeah, because we were like, you know, are you sure we can. can do this. They're like, yeah, do that. And then we ended up, you know, ordering it up. And then, like, we got a call from the GM being like, hey, I noticed that you didn't have the

best stereo on it. So I just went ahead and upgraded that. It was like a $20,000 option. Like, just crazy. Like the boat had every spec possible. And then it was just like a marketing boat for Centurion and U Motors, which is the dealership. And it was just like kind of just a win-win for both of them because they have like demo boats for you know just like to get yeah to get people into it and so it was just like a demo boat to have some exposure for them and we got to use it and do whatever we wanted with it so awesome dude i love that boat hopefully get something very similar to it and maybe a different company but kind of worked the same deal so here's maybe my mildly hot take is i think that pontoon was way cooler than that boat really yeah that's good that pontoon is so bad

Because that makes one of us. I think it was tough. Like, you guys know me. I love pontoons. Pontoons are sick. This one was the sickest. Yeah. But, I mean, it's like you still can't beat a wake boat.

It's kind of apples or oranges, in my opinion. Yeah, it was kind of a similar deal with the pontoon. So the pontoon was like, gosh, I don't know, $250,000, $300. No. It was five, wasn't it? It wasn't $500? I think it was like $4.500. Whatever it was, was an absolutely insane.

amount and they kind of just told us like you know free rain at getting the craziest pontoon possible and uh yeah worked a similar deal so i think somebody's gonna buy that one too the thing about that is like there's so many guys out there that are just big dick swingers that want to have like the biggest boat on the lake and they don't they have so much including they have so much so much money they don't care like how much it costs as long as they have like the coolest boat on That's not quite us, but the first part. Yeah, I mean, like, that much for a pontoon, it's just crazy. But there's people out there.

There's a lot of people out there. Yeah, I always think about that when, like, Jetsky Ryan built the, like, Typhoon, the side-by-side jet skis, and the price tag on it is $250,000. And I saw what goes into building it, but, like, at the end of the day, like, it's just... Yeah, $250's really not that much, especially when you're in Miami. Dude, he could sell that thing all day for $2.50. Dude, I'm kind of bum that we're, like, past the fishing point. Like, I literally just put the rod in.

You're doing the first hour, Mike. I didn't know there was more rods. I was just watching you guys fish. This is not the fishing hour. It's the drinking hour. Speaking of, Mike, you've been sober for a while. How's that going for you? It's going good.

It's a lot easier than I thought it would be. There's one thing I know it hasn't helped you with, and that's your sleep schedule because that's still fuck. Sorry, Mike. I was just thinking about that today. It has not helped my sleeping schedule at all. A little, like, less embarrassed sometimes. in the mornings but yeah not not hungover that's that's one that's one plus how long have you been

off the off the booze now a month yeah like a month and a week it's pretty good mike is that the longest you've gone since you were like 16 no really no i didn't even start drinking until i was 19 okay so since you were 19 uh i don't know it has it's gotta be probably since i was 21 yeah i for sure 21 yeah so it's pretty monumental do you think you'll just live this way the rest of your life Are you going to go back to it? Time will tell. Time will tell.

Hey, I'm at three and a half months now, three and a half. No booze. What's your plan? I don't know. I think CJ's drinking tonight or tomorrow. I was thinking about doing it, but honestly, I'm fine with not. I'm probably going to just keep it rolling. The thing about doing it when?

I was thinking about breaking it. I don't, I'll for sure drink like New Year's, but I don't know. I just don't have any desire to, and I just like feeling great in the morning. sleeping good i don't know i can enjoy just anything especially when you like when you cut out so many like things in life like i when i did like so i went on like a three and a half day fast and like then i was on i still am on like a pretty strict diet it's like little things you appreciate so much more like just being able to drink a cup of black coffee in the morning you just appreciate so much and like you know just even like eating some fruit

Like, I don't feel the need to drink. Yeah, there's really no benefit for me right now. I will again in the future, but, yeah. I know props do you for sure. It's a long time. Yeah, that's a very long time. And I don't drink that much, but I know that I probably couldn't go that long without anything. It's really not that hard, though.

All it really is is just not doing something if you think about it. I think this is an easier time of year for that. Like, it's tough in the summer. Yeah, I mean, I didn't drink that much in the summer, though. I mean, I drink periodically, like maybe once every couple weeks, but, but yeah, I mean, it's definitely more of a fun time to be drinking, for sure. Yeah. Out on the boat, all that, but all I'm saying is you can have fun without drinking.

Yeah, you almost just have to, like, retrain yourself. Yeah, when you learn how to do that, I don't know, it's just best not to be dependent on anything. Was it hard, Mike? Yeah, even Mike's saying it's not hard. It was surprisingly easy. Just the lack of there of doing something. You just don't do it. Yeah.

but it does get harder in certain situations totally but then you think about like oh it's a lot harder on the boat i'm like gosh it's a good thing we don't live in florida but then also you like minnesota wisconsin like there's a lot there's a lot of drinking that goes on up here i mean especially in like fish houses right now in golfing like this it's always going down in the midwest i was sober for like five months i think and i broke my streak at nascar because it was just like NASCAR was such a drinking environment. Isn't it hard, though? It's like hard to break it though after a certain amount of time.

This goes with like anything though. Yeah, because you had a streak. And I was like, damn, if I made it through this, I could make it another two months easy of just like looking at like kind of like events. And I was like, I don't know if it's worth it. I don't know if it's worth it. And then I just like, fuck it. Well, you got to break it eventually.

Like that's the thing. But yeah, like, I'm like, I don't want to, but I will. I don't want to. Well, it's different. It's different if you quit drinking for a reason of you have a problem, or if you quit drinking for a reason of your health. True. And my reason that I quit drinking was because of my health.

And I did it in hopes that I would feel better. And I didn't end up feeling better. So I was just like, fuck it. I'm like, I'm like, I would rather do it to have. a better time in this situation that I'm in not being like dependent on alcohol to have a good time but it was just like it was pretty much just a straight up party so imagine just being at just like a college party that everyone is drinking at and you're the only one sober it's a little bit more difficult not not saying that it's like justified but yeah like it's like the saying

goes it's change happens when changing is easier than staying the same which is like the truth that at least for like i think like my situation and maybe maybe even mics so it makes it easy you know you're like well this is way better than continue doing whatever was going on so and you feel better yeah i feel better not i mean not 100% but definitely notice something you notice a change moving in the right direction and spennie doesn't drink much because of your health too right yeah yeah kind of an athlete well yeah that too drinking i don't know it it is fun. I feel like the hardest part. It's so fun. I feel like it's the hardest part is when you're with the boys and they like, they all know you'll have one. So they're like, oh, I have a drink.

But if they know, like, nobody goes up to CJ and is like, yo, CJ have a Tony, like crack a Tony because they know he's like not drinking it now. And that's what makes it the easiest for me is like all my buddies know that I don't really drink that much. So when we go out like they won't buy, like if they're buying shots, they'll never order me one because they know I probably, they just know I'm not going to take it and that's what makes it the easiest is like once you go sober for like a couple weeks then the boys will know that you're serious and then they'll like back it up kind of too even though they'll like give you shit and they're like dude you're gonna have a beer tonight but then they like we'll definitely back you up when we were in Nashville so we had all our girlfriends there

and uh my girlfriend's friend lives in Nashville with her fiance or boyfriend or something her husband I don't know and uh we were like sitting there at this bar and like just chilling and like it just got like quiet and the dude just like turns and looks at me super nice guy but he I remember this he just goes I'm sorry do you not drink I was like so I was like what it's so weird like

like if you for like different types of drugs and stuff like that people are like oh yeah no that's that's cool something about drinking man everyone's like no you gotta do it with me yeah it's like a good it's honestly a bonding thing for sure I like when you're like it is pretty it's fun to have like

beers with the boys and like if one guy's not drinking it's just like a different vibe but if all the boys are drinking then it's like kind of I don't know it just changes the vibes you don't want to kill though yeah it does

yeah like you if you're you know arm around each other you're like I love you man yeah both on that level it's kind of like yeah yeah yeah yeah you definitely are like

having more of like a like a bonding moment and then if you're sitting here sober you're like looking at like holy shit nothing is happening happening right now. This is the dumbest fucking thing I'm watching. You know, like, it's just, it's insane. When you're like sober and something, oh, fuck. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. No. Huge fish. It was probably just like a tiny perj. It's huge. Huge fish. I could see it on the mark and I was like, oh, that might not be bad. And then your rod bent over. Sorry, what? I'm just,

I was just, I was just, I was just thinking earlier, I was like, how funny would be like, we're talking about the deepest, like, emotional thing. And I was like, oh! I love how we, like, are all sitting back, and as soon as somebody hooks, everybody's just, like, we need things and we're eating for. Just to be clear, though, I don't, I don't care if other people drink. I think it's awesome. No, me neither. Yeah, I don't care. But it is, there is something about, like, drinking with the boys.

It's just, like, such a bonding thing. It is. It is, it actually is. I think the last time I drank, actually, was with you and Ben. It was us three just tearing it out. Dude, and we, yeah, we had the hot lap around the lake. It was so sick. So sick.

Like, yeah, that was, that was, that was one of my first times drinking in, like, months, I think. Yeah. But I'll, I will drink again. How'd you end up getting all piled up two nights ago? Oh, man. The little gremlin? Yeah. No, actually, the gremlin wasn't even trying to get me to drink it.

I think it was Ken. Really? No, look at that smile. What happened? I had my first day on the job, and he was all fired up, so he took me out and bought him. me a shot and package some orders and he was just like I do this with everyone I gave him two shots and he was just out of it dude I was actually hammered I swear by the time that by the time that shot hit your throat you were hammered no I'm not even lying it hit you so fast it was huge

and I was actually hammered it was a no it was a triple it was like a triple shot you don't drink much and you're you're kind of a skinnier guy I'm sure I am a small yeah I don't drink a lot and I'm a small guy little fella little guy one one one shot A shot of Rumpies and a shot of Yag, and you were... I was hammered. So you're saying that you think Ken's a worse influence on you than Evan? Just that night. Just that night, yeah.

That's a bold statement. Evan ordered the shot. I paid for it. There you go, Ken. Team work. Yeah, combo. But it was actually fun, though. It was pretty lit.

Like, I wasn't mad. And they were nice about it, too. They were like, hey, if we buy you shot, will you take it? And I was just like, yeah. But, like, I didn't think they were actually going to do it. And then they're, like, five shots showed up, and I actually had to take it. That's the thing, Spending. I mean, you come around and you're, like, not drinking, like, we'll respect it.

Then you drop a couple hints at me that you're like, yeah, I want to get hammered tonight, man. Like, come on, let's get a little juice to have. I like your voice, that's pretty close to what it sounds like. Yeah, you spend enough time with this guy, you'll start kind of talking like it. Dalton talks like you. Well, after you were here the summer and you left, I swear Dalton was talking just like you. It was like two months. It was two months.

Two months of Dalton talking, yeah. He's pulled back. I think he just wants to be you, but, or be like you, but. Well, to be fair, Spanney's a pretty cool guy, so I respect that. You might be one of the coolest, like, most chill dudes. I think you've got to back it up, though, with the skills on dirt by talking the way Spani does. Yeah. He's got the mix.

He lives a lifestyle, dog. He's got the mix of a Canadian-Californian. Yeah. It is. It's a crazy. It's a crazy combo. I'd say more just Californian than anything, but. Yeah, I've never seen anything like it.

Dude, actually, you know, you know what I'm hilarious, I do go back to Canada, and I hear like people talk and I'm like Canadian sound so ridiculous. Really? Like insane. How do they sound? Well they're just like I'll go to the bars with my buddies and they're like, hey, Spenny come over here buddy like let's take

a shot hey and I'm like I was like I hope I didn't use to sound like that because it's so bad honestly like now I get the South Park memes and I never got it before because I live there so I just heard it all the time like it was just normal yeah it was just normal but even now like I'll hear my mom or my dad say something and they're like they're like

what are you talking about and I'm like what the heck like that's not right then when you go back to callie do you feel like the callie guy sound weird yeah they do honestly like pretty much everywhere you go like you like even you guys have like your own little like lingo and like little key secret words and stuff and you have to like learn them and stuff I don't know it's kind of funny well shit should be shocking a tony or what Spenny's looking to get hammered tonight. CJ's like, yep. I break it after that.

I just break it. We got any more of those modellas out there? Let it rip Spenny, let's see it. I'll rip a shoddy. Just the coldest ever. That would be a cold. It's possible, but it's a painfully cold. Let me see one.

The beautiful thing about keeping your beverages in the hole like that, like that's going to stay not frozen. The ones you put outside are going to freeze. Hey, Mike. What's so funny over there, Ben? You want Tony, Mike? Why'd you ask me two times? That was a test.

Good job, you passed. I passed. If that was a test, I pass a lot of tests. Mike, you want a Tony? No? Is Jake Tony? I know he wants one. No, Jake bailed.

He says he's still packing orders. That's a test. Good job, Mike, you passed. This guy's rock solid, dude. Except I can't freaking catch any fish. You'll know. The time will come when you need to have a drink, and you'll be like, this is the time.

And you'll feel it. You'll feel it. You'll definitely feel it. Yeah, I do agree with that. I'd say right now it would be a good time to feel it, though. Oh, you're funny. You guys are just so funny. These are two fictional characters.

We have money, Mike, and Spenny. Mike's boots got to get in this. Yeah, no kidding. That is literally all Ken's collection. So, Ken, how much those boots cost such a curiosity? I actually got them on Stock X after the hype died down, so they got 150. Oh, wow. Not bad.

What was up with the hype? Like, was it a meme, or did people actually think they were cool? They just look ridiculous, so it just... Bro, I saw someone in the airport wearing them not too long ago, and I literally looked at the guy, and I was like, I was trying to figure out if he's trying to be funny or not, and I don't think he was. Like, he wore that shit in the airport? Why would you wear them in the airport? Imagine hopping on the plane, just clomping around.

Dude, they're so uncomfortable. Don't even finish it to see. I wouldn't wear those in public, for one, just because they're so ungodly, uncomfortable. And two, you just look ridiculous and attract so much attention. Dude, driving over here was a bad idea. I mean, I did, oh, you can't, you cannot feel any kind of pedals. Break and gas at the exact same time. Oh, that's kind of concerning, Mike.

I rode with you. I've heard so many times, like, when I broke my right foot, I, like, drove with my left foot. Because, like, what are you just not going to drive? And then I found out, like, a lot of people do that. I know there's different circumstances. It's illegal, isn't it? I don't really think it. would hold up if they did try to get you on it but like so many people hurt their right foot

and then they're just like yeah it's been so inconvenient not being able to get around and I'm like really you can't at least try and then there was a situation uh where oh well she has a baby she drives a baby around okay I get it then don't drive I wouldn't trust myself with my left foot with a baby in the car but with just myself like it's super easy you can just practice it for fun do you guys like holding babies no I don't hold my nieces and nephews until I like holding babies until they are old enough to take a fall. That's, I mean, super smart. I actually don't even think I've held, like, a newborn baby before.

Like, I'm missing anything. I don't think I've ever held one, ever in my life. I'm missing anything. We can see where Ben stands. I don't know. I kind of like it, but I haven't held that many. But I like, would you like anything? I don't know.

It's just like, it's just a weird thing to, like. It's like, it's like, you're very, you got to be, like, you know, dialed in. Like, I sit down, like, make sure I'm, like. Can't have a couple of Tony. Right, like, I don't want to, like, something to happen. Yeah, I would be scared. I'd be too scared. So you just make sure you're in a good spot, but yeah, it's crazy.

It's just super weird to say it. And then I thought about how, like, babies' heads smell good or, like, they, like, smell. All right, Mike, you, I don't know. You might be on a watch list after you're saying that. It's like, oh, dude, I sound like Joe Byron. Like, yeah, no, babies are just, like, the cutest. Dude, it doesn't have a smell to them, though. It's funny.

definitely like a new smell. Yeah. Smell like milk. Justin. Keep the kid away from the good. Yeah. I know what you. Give me snapping in the baby's head.

He's like, I don't need to hold it. I just want to smell them. Yeah, no, I don't know. I'm not a big baby holder. I also don't think babies are that cute. Dude, I think when people are like, your baby is so adorable. I'm like, we're not looking at the same baby then, oh?

Dude, I'm the same. I shouldn't say never, but most time babies aren't that cute and parents just hype up their kid. Like, you don't know how cute your kid is going to be. I can't wait for you to hype up your kid so hard. No, it's different when it's your kid. That's statement.

Yo, parents be hyping up their kids way too much. No, I don't know. I have like four nieces and nephews. And like I think I've been. And they're all mid, bro. No, they get to a point where they're like super cute at like two. One, one, you start seeing their potential. No, dead ass.

He's just disregarding one of them. He's like, yeah, not that cool. This one's got not much going for you. No, I don't know. It's just babies are just all the same. He's all looked the same to me. Yeah, they do. They look the same.

And, like, I don't know. I guess some are like a little bit cuter than others, but it's just like, dude, yeah, you got to act like, oh, my God. Your child is so adorable. Can I hold it? It's like, dude, I'm not even, I'm not even going to lie, Justin. I'm going to force you to hold it. all the time. Dude, I am not going to, I'm not going to hold your kids.

But unless you're, like, close with the baby, it's usually more polite not to ask to hold. Oh, yeah. Just, like, saying. Yeah, that's why. I think that's... Like, holding babies, sometimes don't ask to hold the baby unless you're like... Yeah, I'm not trying to smell the baby.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think that's a little bit... CJ's going to, like, wet, wipe that baby down from germs and shit, too. No, I won't. Yeah, you will. But... You're going to be such a helicopter kid or a parent. Yeah.

I don't know. I just don't really trust myself of, like, holding the baby, too, because I'm like, what if I had a heart attack right now and fell over? Like, I don't know. Whose fault would that be? Who else? No, it's the baby's fault? And then Ben wakes up in the hospital.

What the hell? You dropped the baby. The thing gave me a heart attack. No, I don't know. She could happen, though. It does come with a lot of responsibility, though, holding one of those things. I think about that, too, with, like, my future wife, mother of my children driving. Like, is that safe?

Yeah. These are things you can not worry out He doesn't like women driving Man, he's really digging himself a hole here He is really digging himself a hole Let's say one more thing I'm just saying like dude Car accidents can happen

It's the craziest thing You're like do girls really even need to vote Like come on? That's where he's going next No I don't It's literally it's nothing against Greta either Like it's just

She can happen It's just all of them It's not even I hate to say it, but just off of your driving record, the baby's probably safer with Greta. Yeah. You're probably safer with Greta, dude. I think you should be in the back seat.

I can't even ride in the front seat. Just stay in the back room. I can't even right in the distracting. Oh, you probably, honestly, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. Newborn, newborn kids, I understand thinking that they're not cute. They are, like, little strange-looking aliens for, like, the first three months. Probably six.

Yeah. I guess I'll find out here. The future father. But, like, you just, it's such a connection that you're going to have with your kid that, as a parent, you're just going to be like, yes, this is the most precious thing on the planet. And they certainly look a little bit goofy. But it's just, it means so much to you that that's why parents always are like more to you. I know, I keep hearing that, too. I've heard that so many times.

I was walking through the merch bay talking to a couple of the merch fillers and found out that one just had a kid a month and a half ago and I was like oh damn dude I'm sorry I didn't like do something for you like just finding this out now you can't feel like an asshole like you know he's been working for us for several months and I didn't like congratulate him because you know he's probably like walks in like you know expecting somebody to say you're pretty stoked yeah it's a huge you knew yeah I knew Damien and Darius had it yeah yeah I might have been the only one

I mean, I knew when they... Because I didn't know... This guy just hates kids. Did he tell you? Yeah. You know, I'm going to be a dad? I heard. Bro, you were born to be a dad, Justin.

Justin, you came out the womb ready to be a dad. I'm pretty sure my first words were a dad joke, unfortunately. It was probably really fucking bad. You ever seen National Lampoons? Yeah. I swear you're the guy. You're the main guy. Like, that's you, Justin.

Yeah, I think you're Clark Griswold. Like your sense of humor and the way you knack. Like whenever, I've watched all of the National Lampoons just recently, and I just am thinking of you the whole time. I'm like, dude, this is Justin. The scene at the opening of, like, when they're picking up the Christmas tree, like the quiet road rage. Like that, yeah, where like, I have to like act like, yeah, like, I'm like looking over. I'm smiling at my wife. Like, oh, yeah, it's fine.

Yeah. Like, just constantly being pissed, pulling underneath a semi, like, haven't done that, but might. Unironically, I used to be able to recite, like, most. of that movie. Have you seen all of them? I don't know, the first two. I haven't seen like all of the Vegas one.

You can. Vegas one's the best. Yeah, that's a legendary. I don't even know if you call it a series. Yeah, yeah, dude.

And like those are older movies, but they still hold up today. That's how you know they're good. Because normally like older like 1980s, obviously even later, even the 90s like the picture and just quality it's so not up to standard now or it's hard to watch. Yeah,

it's crazy how like you watch an older movie like anything that's from the 80s. It just looks great. and like back then that was like that was just like cream of the crop like crazy definition now you got like 4k on a phone screen i was working in justin's office i don't know i like working in justin's office it's like bigger and there's a person there to talk to so anyway i go in there and i was working and and justin had a call with a bunch of with a bunch of to use a derogatory term nerds but they what they were doing is they they have like Like, you know, why don't you explain what they do instead of me?

So they make a light-to-pick system. So it's when somebody scans an order in our warehouse, a light will light up on the warehouse location so that they can find it a lot faster. So anyway, a bunch of nerds created it. And then I think they're normally used to talking to people probably like us. They weren't expecting another nerd on the end of the line. And, bro, they were just absolutely kissing.

each other through the phone. They're like, oh my gosh, you answered my next question. Oh, nobody asks us questions like this. You are my favorite person to talk to. Every single thing that he just said is 100% true. These dudes were so stoked. And I was like uncomfortable. What were you talking about?

The one guy who was like the sales guy literally just moved out of the meeting. Like he started it. And he's normally like, all right, we're going to work through. We're going to take the complicated speak. and we're going to get it to somebody who can understand it. Like who just needs to buy it. And he just got completely bypassed and Justin just talked with them the whole time. And they were like, oh my gosh, we never thought about that.

This is perfect. You're perfect. You are the best customer. And it was so funny. I'm like, man, dude. Yeah, well. Yeah. Just two 65 year old dudes on the phone gassing me up because I'm asking nice questions.

I was like, oh, cool. Yeah. Have you ever heard of erodidium magnets? Erodium magnets? Let me tell you about them. Neodynium, by the way, but yeah, it was close. Yeah, they were, that was, the whole time I was on that gall, I just, like, kept looking over the top of my screen and looking at Ryan,

he's just like, Jesus Christ. I was kind of smiling. Ryan was not impressed. Does it kind of feel good to flex your big toe like that when you're, because you're used to dealing with pretty low-level, level IQ stuff on the daily. I won't lie. It was refreshing to talk about engineering shit again. Yeah, just get it out. It's definitely more fun to do what I do

now because I can talk engineering shit for three hours and then after that it just gets a little dry. I'm just glad that you weren't around when we took the IQ test. Dude, Justin would have probably scored last with the way the trajectory was. I think that IQ test was. I'm pretty sure like I took it after you guys did the like did it on the pot I scored like middle low of everybody's scores Evan was top

no it's Mike Mike was the smartest Evan Evan Evan was up top Evan was up top Evan came in and then you guys yeah he took it afterwards after consuming a recreational product and a couple tonies he sits down at the computer never seen Evan at a computer in his life

never typed on a dang keyboard ever Does he know how to type on the keyboard? I don't know I've never seen him on a computer. I love that someone the other day goes, Evan, what's the last time you used a computer? And he's like,

oh, it was just like whenever I was in the... Ice school. Yeah. And we're like, oh, okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah, we had to use computers at that place.

Yeah, you guys reevaluated like your entire life. And then you're like, eh, probably just... The test probably wasn't like that. That's also such a funny way. Everybody takes an IQ test.

It's all low. And it was like, nah, man, I'm not dumb. It's got to be the test. Yeah, it was fun. on wild acid. I mean, there's just no possible way that, again, it was just off one test.

There's just no way Evan and I was the smartest. Yeah, Ryan was dead bottom. Yeah, Ryan was dead bottom. No, I don't think it was dead last, was I? You were because it was your idea to do it and that you took last. I think we were all thinking like, well, Ryan's going to take first. You ever taking one, Spani?

No, I've never taken one. Spanney, did you graduate high school? Yeah, graduated high school. Hey, no offense. There's nothing wrong with that. Why do I seem dumb? No, I just you're like, you're a professional motorcross racer. Just the way I talked.

I couldn't remember. I remember you telling me something along the lines. My brother didn't. Okay. I just remember you telling me something along the lines of like, yeah, I was racing and I was gone. So like, and it's pretty common to not.

Like if you're a professional motocross race, you probably got better things going on than finishing high school. I was racing. Yeah. I don't know. No, my parents were like, they didn't even really,

they wanted me to go to like post-secondary too. They were actually mad that I didn't go and I went and raced and did, like dumb stuff. Well, I mean, it wasn't really dumb, but they were mad I didn't go to school. They were pushing school on me pretty hard. Because they had another shipment of Zins that they wanted you to push.

Remember that? Yeah. No, no, not the Zins. It was the chew. It was the chew. You were slinging chew. The flavored chew. Yeah, you ever hear that, Justin?

We already talked about it once, but I was basically, for sure. I was coming into the U.S. to race, and they banned flavored tobacco in Canada, so my parents were buying chew for me, and I was taking it back and selling it to my buddies. You're a drug mule, bro? No, it was just. It was just like coconut.

It was just bi-pack, flip it, you know. Yeah, just out of the locker. There's nothing crazy. Yeah, so they had bigger shipments coming in, and they planned that Spenny was going to go to college. They were like, you need to stay in school. We got big shipments coming in. We got to pick up a pallet next time we're down.

No, yeah, I did finish grade 12. Honestly, like, I wasn't the smartest kid, but I never skipped. But school was hard for me, honestly. I sucked at school. Like, I'm not very. very smart, but in the classes I was taken, I was, oh, I struggled. But I never skipped. I did all my homework. I never, like, faked sick or, like, skipped school ever. I always went and I was always like, because you're only going two days a week for racing.

Yeah, that's true. No, actually, I hated leaving. How much could you skip? I hated to leave to go to races because then I'd get behind. Yeah. The best I could learn, like, I'm such a hands-on learner. Like, I can't, like, I'm not very good with instructions. I just want to hands-on learn. So being in the classroom for me was like, like, I liked it. I wasn't saying it because I thought you were dumb or anything like that. I think you're smart, but I just thought you literally... Think I'm smart? Yeah, I think you're smart.

I don't think you're dumb at all. Ask them a question. Ask me a question then. I don't need to. I don't need to. Ask me a question that I was a pro-answer right there, bro. I don't need to. Spencer, what is the name of this shape that's all over the fish house?

It's got a name. Six-sided. Hexagon. No. Yeah, it's a hexagon. Pentagon. I didn't want to give you any hints because it was a pretty easy one. I thought you were talking about the triangles.

I did have to look at it and actually count them. I couldn't tell them. Hey, what's the strongest shape? Triangle. Nice. Who did 9-11? From a Canadian.

We don't have that in Canada. Do you know what 9-11 was? No, no, I'm kidding. Oh, okay. I was like, wow, that's crazy. They're all the second people's wearing an American flag suit. He doesn't even know what 9-11 was, imagine. We don't have that.

that in Canada. You don't have that. I love my C.G's like, oh, you don't? Even the terrorists are nicer in Canada. What's the fastest animal in the world? Cheetah? Ken on the way to the bathroom. Cheetah.

Cheetah? Is it a cheetah? Fastest animal? Yeah. Yeah, it's not a cheetah. Ostrich? Everyone thinks it's a cheetah. Is it an ostrich? No, it is a bird, though.

Canadian goose? I bet it's one of those, like, hawks type of things that Yeah. What are they called? It's a peregrine falcon. Yeah, it's a peregrine falcon. Yeah, like 112 or something. Dude, you can't determine.

I'm talking about a land mammal. Yeah, yeah, I wasn't even thinking about that. Well, we didn't say land mammal. We said animal. You can't determine how smart someone is by what they know. That's not a good judge of, like, how smart someone just naturally is. It's just, like, you know what I'm saying? Because then, like, knowing information doesn't make you smart.

What do you think, like, is the biggest determine if they're smart? If they can pan Panning's big Panning's big You know how like You're saying Delton just had a war flashback A trivia

Crackhead Is that like a trivia Head? They just know information It's no facts They're trivia crackhead But like I don't know There's so many different ways

You could determine If someone's smart though I'm not very book smart But I definitely have I feel like I got like some Knowledge though That's just like Yeah

That's just information I know It doesn't mean that you're not smart. No, I know. I feel like I have more, like, street smart than I would, like, just like, I would say, I would say that's the best way to, like, determine some of like, inherent. Yeah, it's like, how many Thai Lopez's courses every day? Knowledge, dude. Knowledge. Dude, that guy's still around, too. He's got some big mansion that he rents.

He makes this course and explains that, like, I don't own this because it's smart to not own this You know, to rent is smarter. Yeah. I don't know. And then, like, I see YouTube videos of people, like, talking shit on it. Like, why? When I was at the wedding, I was talking, like, everyone there was, like, weirdly rich. I'd imagine.

And I was talking to this one guy, and I shit you not, he flexed on me for 45 minutes straight about just everything that you could flex on somebody about. Isn't that annoying? Dude, it was so annoying. It was so annoying. But he was, like, showing me how, or he was telling me how much money. and doge he had, which I thought was a crazy flex. That is a crazy.

It's the worst when they like pull up the wallet too and they're like... No, no, so he was telling me, he could kind of tell I like wasn't really that interested or didn't care that much. And then he was like, fuck, how do I get him hooked? I'll show him. And then he was like, check it out. I'll just show you the wallet. And I was like, all right,

let's see it. And then it wouldn't load because you were in Mexico. I don't know, man. Doesn't seem like you got it. And it wasn't loading. Wasn't loading it. You can see. kind of panicking, like, refreshing it. You don't got to lie. I'm gonna go over here now. How much Doge did he have, though?

He was like, yeah, I got like 1.8 million in Doge. Wow. Dollars? Dollars. How the fuck? Why? And then it refreshed, and there was like 800,000 in it. And he was like, I have the other million.

And I can't remember what he said. It was like another, like, another, like, kind of funny crypto. Like to move it into or something like that. In Cheba or whatever? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what it was, but I was like, yeah, dude, I believe you. You're rich. Dude, everything, as far as stocks and crypto have been fucking through the roof in the last, basically last month. It's been insane. Good time for crypto. Good time for the crypto.

It's a good time to be in the stock market. It's a good time to be in crypto. Yeah. Why do you think that is? Just because people have faith in the economy? Well, Trump. With the new president coming in? For the, for crypto, I think it's like 90%. Yeah, because he had said that, you know we're trying to make america the crypto capital of the world and he wants to like get rid of the SEC regulations and all that yeah and like the other regulations in china and russia and like other like big dogs is kind of loosening and like you have like huge companies like black rock putting like a trillion dollars in or something wild dude if you think about it so it's like there's so many different factors but like you know how south things would have to go for

Bitcoin to, like, completely lose all of its capital. I mean, if it went down, then you'd buy more. That'd be the only thing. But, like, realistically, like, if you just put some money there and you're not planning on touching it for, like, 10 years, it's a great spot. I think that it's more of a risk to not own Bitcoin, personally. I think, like, everyone should buy a little bit because on the off chance that it goes to, like, an insane number, and maybe it replaces our currency one day.

who knows everything else is going electric or electronic so why why would or digital electronic but put a little bit into it at least me not own any any i agree bro money money mike dude i don't know any either i don't even mike invest in real assets he's like yeah i got my bitcoin shows up he's like yeah check it out i got like four of them it's like a pocket full of coins like bro the only bitcoin i know is like when patrick was trying to buy something from sponge but he didn't have a quarter so then SpongeBob gave him a quarter and they took it back and then bit it to make sure it was real. That's Bitcoin. That's Bitcoin. Oh. But yeah, no, I, I did. I just logged into my like Coinbase account the other day for the first time in like five years and my

Ethereum doubled and I was like, yeah, nice. That's about as far as it went. Would you buy in it? I don't know. 2000. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think we're good.
