Don't zoom in on it. That's all I got to say.

[Ken]

Yeah, that is atrocious. I mean it's also the seating position was a little crazy.

[Ryan]

Too.

[Mike]

I think I was about to stand up probably. I was, you know, just getting ready to. To get up maybe. I'm not sure what was going on there, but.

[Ben]

Oh, dude.

[Mike]

Sorry fellas.

[Ben]

I. I don't want to necessarily talk about them while they're here, but what's going on down there? Dalton's getting his truck detailed in our shop. I mean this is all good as far as I know by three high school kids that he went to school with that are younger than him. Like what an insane.

[Ken]

He's outsourcing.

[Mike]

I think there.

[Ben]

I love it. I love.

[Ryan]

They sold me 180.

[CJ]

They'll do my truck. I was like, I think they're doing a startup. I'm sure they'll do a great job.

[Mike]

Business.

[Ben]

Okay. So I like that. It was just, it was just funny. Have I met any of you guys? And they're like, no, we're just here ripping on Dalton's truck.

[Ken]

It's cool.

[Ben]

And. And Dalton the detailer is now outsourcing.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So I just really can't focus on anything other than Jack's freaking shoes. These are insane.

[Ken]

What?

[Ben]

So sick, man.

[Ken]

When are we going to draw the line?

[Ben]

Well, Ben thought he drew the line already and then he drew it again. He kept drawing it and wow.

[CJ]

Why do those Crocs look like child size? Yeah, they just look like a little bit. I think they look like Japanese shoes for some reason. Oh yeah.

[Ben]

Okay. That's what I was going to say.

[Ken]

Why do they not look like actual Crocs?

[CJ]

Yeah, they're just a little bit.

[Ben]

Are they real?

[CJ]

More. More tongue on them.

[Evan]

I. I think it's because of the wrap around like the, the perimeter.

[Ben]

Oh, they got some weight to them

[Ken]

cuz they're light up.

[Ben]

Yeah, true, bro.

[Ken]

Having light up shoes was lit. I had a couple pairs of light up shoes back in the day.

[Ben]

Pretty on brand.

[Ken]

You can't deny that is your brand. Lightning mc.

[Ben]

I've taken it over.

[Ryan]

Does Disney know about that or Pixar?

[Ben]

No, not yet. I'm sure I'll get something in the mail soon. Dude, I going to get a. Hopefully

[Ken]

a check as opposed to a cease and desist.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So I just posted a reel of the Lightning McQueen Porsche on Instagram and now, now the other Lightning McQueen are starting to fight in the comments.

[Ben]

Really?

[Mike]

Really.

[Ryan]

Like who was first like or.

[Ben]

Yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

It is crazy that after we wrapped your GT3RS Lightning McQueen, I see a reel of another GT3RS wrapped like that's cuz it existed.

[Mike]

I think he was Also doing donuts at a golf course parking lot, which is a pretty aggressive.

[Ryan]

No, that was not a Lightning McQueen one. But that was a red one.

[Mike]

Oh, sorry.

[Ryan]

That was a red Crazy Horse doing donuts at a golf course.

[Ben]

And everyone.

[Ryan]

And everyone thought it was me. Rightfully so.

[Ken]

It is kind of funny because if you don't look closely, there is an orange car with white seats. That could be mis.

[Ryan]

Yeah, an orange Corvette, isn't it?

[Ken]

I think it was like a McLaren or something else. You're making me so nervous over there, dude.

[Ryan]

I'm trying to get comfortable over here. This spot Mike's figure it out.

[Ken]

But yeah, it's amazing. Even. Even some of our good buddies have been like, bro, this was too far.

[Mike]

I agree.

[Ryan]

That was pretty aggressive.

[Mike]

You sent me a Snapchat of your car this morning with a one word caption.

[Ryan]

Well, I think to be precise, I said this is so gay. Lol and it was zooming in on my car sitting in the parking lot.

[Mike]

Dude, I swear I got just a one word version of it.

[Ryan]

But yeah, either way, maybe.

[Ben]

Okay. But yeah, so like last night I was like googling lightning McQueen cars, just seeing like, there's got to be a lot out there and we obviously have five of them. Dude, there is people. They've done it on Vipers, they've done it on Camaros, Porsches, BMWs, BRZ, Mustang. Like, there's a lot of people that have ripped this. This rap before, which I just, I didn't know.

[Ryan]

Look at you, Jack. You're such a trendsetter.

[Ben]

I thought I was the first one, to be honest.

[Ryan]

They saw you.

[Ben]

Did you actually think you're the first one? No, no.

[Ryan]

They saw the Tesla and they couldn't help themselves, Jack.

[Ben]

But I could see it. I could see people getting in the comments, being like, I was the original.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's like, what are we doing here, guys? I don't think anyone wants to admit to that.

[Ben]

Yeah, well, that's what I was gonna say. You know who, Congrats.

[Ryan]

You guys are all in.

[Ben]

You know who is the original? The freaking Lightning Queen cars movie.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And what's the Cars came out in like 2005 or 6 or something. So I bet that there's a lot of people that aren't even on the Internet bragging about it that have done this already.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

When the movie came out, believe my aunt had a Mazda Miata rap Red Lightning, McQueen wrap. No way.

[Mike]

How have you been keeping this for so long?

[Ken]

Well, I don't know. Everybody else would, but she had it and, and she.

[Ben]

Could you get a photo at one point? Not to maybe today, but I probably could.

[Ken]

Yeah. I'll see if I can get it by the pod. But she had a, a sticker that would go over like a window cling that would go over it when it was parked. Oh, so then she could have the eyeball.

[CJ]

Like a magnet.

[Ken]

Yeah, yeah. But I think, I seem to remember she got in trouble or something because it still had some banners. No, it had banners and stuff on it. Cops didn't like it and she was, you know, like a middle aged woman. So she was like, well, I'm not really trying to with the cops. So she had to like take some of it off.

[Ryan]

Makes sense.

[Ken]

But yeah, I'll see if I can find that. I kind of actually just remembered that. But it was so lit when I was a kid.

[Ben]

Dude. Dude.

[Ryan]

I mean it's kind of a trendsetter.

[CJ]

It's a great movie. It still is a great movie.

[Ken]

Yeah, Jack stole that from her newer ones.

[Ryan]

But yo, did you guys see the videos coming out of that like mudding four wheeler

[Ben]

hole?

[CJ]

Those guys were literally just running people over. They'd be like st on a body and just doing a burnout.

[Mike]

But it's those people fault for being in the way. Like, get out.

[CJ]

Yeah, but even if I was a four wheeler rider, I wouldn't be doing a burnout trying to win a race. It's a quad race. How much, how much?

[Ken]

How important is this?

[CJ]

It's not a. It's not a supercross championship, dude.

[Mike]

When all the spectators are hammered getting in the way.

[Ryan]

I mean over.

[CJ]

It is their fault for getting in the way. But even I guess I would be like, there's a girl underneath my four wheeler. I'm stuck on a rock.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And you're using her as traction.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Run over girls. They were saying like, yeah, the snowshoe.

[Ryan]

It was just crazy.

[Ben]

Meets rednecks with paychecks. Yep.

[CJ]

I mean I'd like to go to this like.

[Ken]

Like that.

[Evan]

What is that?

[CJ]

He doesn't even give a second, bro.

[Ben]

And people were honestly on their side too. They're like, I get accidentally hitting someone but then continuing no regard train roll over them.

[Ken]

Coming up on her mega quad here.

[Ryan]

Oh, she rolls it all the way down.

[Mike]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Ben]

Oh my gosh. That was not good. Oh, that was like worst case. He got so much more.

[Ken]

It is.

[CJ]

That's a four wheeler.

[Ryan]

That's not a quad.

[Ken]

That's a full.

[Ryan]

Wow. They really let. Let any quads in, huh? Bro?

[Ben]

Dude, she got some speed.

[CJ]

So dangerous.

[Ken]

It's an all fun.

[Ben]

I don't mean this in like a. Oh, you probably like quads. I bet you'd actually do very well at it. You know, get on a good quad. You've great. Well, Evans ran so many hair scrambles,

[Mike]

whatever can am like that are set up. Yeah, it seems like fun.

[Ryan]

I thought that this whole event was crazy. Just the fact that they were like using people as traction to keep going. But then I sat there and thought for another second and I was like, hm. I think it's even crazier that there's a four wheeler dedicated race and that

[Ken]

many fans came up to watch.

[Ryan]

Dude, I was like, how am I just hearing about there's a bunch? I mean people race four wheelers.

[Ben]

Still a series. Yeah. I mean it's not popular.

[Mike]

We just don't.

[Ken]

We just don't have a deacon of this country.

[CJ]

How much money was on the line?

[Ken]

A case of Keystone and a full take of gas.

[CJ]

It was for the love of it. Obviously. I'm all for it, dude. I think they need to bring back quads. But I just couldn't quite get behind the burnout on the. On the woman.

[Ben]

You saw that, bro.

[CJ]

That I was scrolling through.

[Ben]

I never saw a burnout on a woman.

[Ryan]

I mean,

[CJ]

and they're just like, like just rocking back and forth. Like if that tire hits your skin, it's gonna.

[Mike]

I was less worried about the tire, more worried about the chain and sprocket that's gonna cut your leg off.

[Ryan]

What about like the rocks that they're like in between? Like they're just.

[CJ]

Where's that at?

[Mike]

They're on rocks in Indiana or something.

[Ryan]

Dude, how are we just hearing about.

[CJ]

Cool, man.

[Ryan]

That thing is so gnarly. We gotta pull up next year.

[CJ]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Ken]

I don't want to take us back in time here, but this was my aunt's Miata. Check out.

[CJ]

Wow.

[Ken]

Check out how hard that. Gosh.

[Ben]

It's better than all of the ones we've done.

[Mike]

Well, I mean, not the best fitment.

[Ben]

No kidding. No, that's red wheels and the smile.

[Ken]

She still got it. That's 2024.

[Ben]

What?

[Ryan]

Ryan, this is insane.

[Ben]

Sorry for tripping, but that's sick.

[CJ]

That literally she really. Sorry.

[Ben]

Is the best thing ever. And the wing. The wing too. Like the wing we put on the TT is a joke. That wing's legit, bro.

[Ryan]

That's the same wing is Mike's Viper.

[CJ]

Yeah. And she even has the eyeballs and the red Wheels.

[Evan]

I think it's a mouth that the mouth makes it.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I gotta say this one way harder than I remember, dude. Holy. Yeah, right?

[Ryan]

You've really been sitting on this.

[Ken]

I had been sitting on that.

[Ben]

She still has it. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Dude, I didn't know you had an aunt that moved like this.

[CJ]

You didn't care to just mention that? Like, my aunt has the same setup since 2012.

[Ben]

I love that. Yeah, so she went with that, added the wing later, added the red wheel.

[Ken]

She's modding it.

[Ben]

Holy crap.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's my bad, guys. Honestly, I kind of forgot who's.

[Ben]

Who is this? What's your relation to her?

[CJ]

Yeah, great taste in cars, I'll tell you that much.

[Ken]

My cousin or aunt Robin. I honestly, I don't really know the exact connection, but. Oh, she's on my mom's side.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Ryan]

You guys must be really.

[Ken]

She's on. She's on my mom's side. I mean, the last time I saw the Miata, I. It was probably in 2012.

[Ben]

That's awesome. That is.

[Ryan]

That's crazy. That's a crazy find right there.

[Ken]

Anyway, back to four wheeling because four wheels.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think we got pull up. I think we got to pull up next year.

[Mike]

Where is that race, though?

[CJ]

There's a lot of people there. That was cool.

[Mike]

And race.

[Ryan]

Do you want to run it?

[Mike]

100%.

[Ryan]

All right. I was can in there too, on the Renegade.

[Ken]

If all it is is running over people in the mud, I can do that. Yeah, I did it to Mike that one time on accident.

[Ben]

I saw a joke too. Like, it looked literally like there's people everywhere and then there was just a stream of mud and everyone's like, that's just beer. It was dry before they got there.

[Ken]

Just beer. And piss.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah, and piss.

[Ryan]

Dude, I bet those people are still digging mud out of their ears. Yeah, like, when you're that muddy, we do it about once a. Once a year. Maybe once every two years where we get head to toe covered in mud.

[Ken]

It is always kind of fun.

[Ryan]

It's always fun. It's always a good time.

[CJ]

Like, I'm just going to get dirty. You're like, I'm gonna see how dirty I can get.

[Ryan]

Pop up the pick of us last year. Three wheeling.

[Ben]

Three wheeling.

[Ken]

Oh, yeah, that was fun.

[Ryan]

But like, you're. You're digging mud out of every crevice of your body for the next three days.

[Mike]

And then a quad Y shower with the pressure washer.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we don't talk about that.

[Ken]

It might be good mudden season now. We've been having some storms. Read, read. Timmers, the storm chaser was in our area this week.

No, he never. He never did respond to us. I was kind of bummed, but I really want to go storm chasing.

[Ben]

Chasing.

[Ryan]

Yeah. We got to figure out how to get a hold of him.

[Ken]

I'm sure we can. I mean, Nel did it back in the day. It was kind of last minute.

[Ben]

Let's just take the McQueen van and go rip.

[Ken]

That's what I did think. If he was like, yeah, you guys can come. Like, what are we. Like, we're going to have to take our own car. I go, what are we going to sacrifice?

[Ben]

We can't all fit in his. I don't. Yeah, whatever.

[CJ]

I think the car is fast enough. You can just outrun it.

[Ken]

You can just skedaddle around it.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah, or if you got, like,

[CJ]

a raptor, you'll be able to just bomb the field, because that's the thing. Tornado can just change direction.

[Ben]

Like, you're stuck on the grid.

[Ken]

TRX in. In the twisters, too. Yeah, Twisters. One was an iconic movie when he's bombing through the field in that truck.

[Ben]

Yeah. And beefed up.

[Ken]

But it was making me think, I guess, about two things, actually. I had a meeting with Sydney, Mike's wife, my sister at our house. And I was like, I need to get her home before this storm. Like, this big storm's coming. And so I go, you head home now, like, because it's going to get bad. And ended up just sending her straight through the thick of it. I, like, look at where she is. And it's Glendon. And then I look, and it's like, tornado warning in Glendon. Tornado on the ground. And she's like, I call her, and it's just like, where are you at?

[Ben]

Just cutting across from Glenn into.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

She's like, there. I'm in Glendon. It's pretty crazy right now. But she said she talked with you.

[Ben]

Yeah. And I was. Honestly, I feel bad because I was downplaying it. And then she FaceTimed me. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's a funnel. That's a funnel. It was literally.

[Ryan]

Oh, really?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Driving around.

[Ben]

I mean, you know, it didn't touch down or anything, but I'm like, oh, yeah, that was really close to being a tornado.

[Ryan]

Was it hailing?

[Evan]

Some of the hail that Fargo got last night was massive. I'm trying to.

[Ken]

Cue ball size is the biggest that I saw.

[Evan]

I'm trying to Pull it up. But the one Aaron had was massive.

[Mike]

Nick rivers posted a snapchat and it was big piece of hill car. Got much larger than a golf ball.

[Ben]

So big ups for the roofing, guys.

[Ken]

Yeah. Jeff was. He said he's like, you hate to

[CJ]

see it but damn, that is bad.

[Ken]

Yeah. That's gonna up your roof.

[CJ]

Baseball.

[Ryan]

You never know when you might need to save some hail for a cocktail.

[Ken]

So with the hail, what's your guys's thoughts on stopping under a bridge to get out of the hail?

[Mike]

And of course, if it's. Wait what?

[Ben]

I was like, if it's hailing and I have it and I have to

[CJ]

on the side to be pulling up to a bridge.

[Ben]

Yeah. I'm going to stop if there's room.

[Ken]

Are you. Are you going to stop in the middle of the road and block? No interstate.

[Ryan]

No, you can't do that. People do that.

[Ken]

And so that's where the thing. If you're the first guy there and you hit the shoulder, I think that's cool for sure.

[Ben]

As long as you're not in the lane.

[Evan]

I think the only people that can do that are motorcycle riders. Everyone else is just a And needs to just drive straight through it.

[Mike]

I agree. Ken.

[Ryan]

Oh, Ken. Not everyone drives a refrigerator.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Bulletproof car.

[Ben]

I was like, if you're driving a high end car, why would you keep

[Evan]

driving then you just drive away from the storm.

[Ken]

That's not exactly how it works.

[Ben]

What if you're in it?

[Evan]

Then you should be planning and watch the radar so you don't hit it.

[Ken]

It's funny actually, because the only Ken

[Ben]

had his car parked three hours before the weather even hit.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

If you're paying for insurance, use it.

[Ryan]

Ken is the most guy who's like,

[CJ]

we need to get everything inside.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like the most storm conservative person I've ever met.

[Ken]

There we go.

[Ryan]

If there is. If there is hail four hours away and there's a chance There's a chance that it could maybe like a 3% chance. That's enough for Ken to be like every vehicle inside.

[CJ]

I know, dude. Alex is the same way. Like she made me get up out of bed last night. We better put all the. Your truck inside. I'm like, I think it's gonna be fine. I do this all the time. So I get up, you know, walk outside, put it in the back building. And yeah. I just knew it was going to be for nothing.

[Ken]

But didn't even rain it.

[Ben]

No, I didn't even rain.

[CJ]

But yeah, Ken's the same way.

[Evan]

Like I planned for that. Like I knew, okay, I'm at home. Might as well just pull the car inside. And then like, if you're driving, that's kind of on you. Just use the insurance. What if you have to go to

[Ken]

work and go home?

[Evan]

Then you just use the insurance.

[Ryan]

Ken is such a.

[CJ]

But not the shoulder of under the bridge.

[Evan]

No. Because then all you're gonna do is jam up everyone else and you're gonna over four guys behind you.

[CJ]

If you're on the shoulder, how they can still pass.

[Ben]

How would you mess them up?

[Evan]

One person stops and then 15 other people stop, and then there's just.

[CJ]

No, I'm saying you're pulling off the road on the shoulder, so you're not blocking.

[Ken]

Yeah. For a little clarity on Evan, because he's kind of on my side. You're a. If you stop. But I agree with the shoulder method. What do you think about the shoulder?

[Evan]

Let me pull up.

[Mike]

And I guess too. So you're talking full blown big ass hail.

[Ben]

So you're a. Yeah.

[Ken]

Your hails or your car's taking damage. Hail.

[Mike]

Yeah. That's. Yeah. A little harder to drive through. But you definitely can't be stopping on the road. I guess what I was thinking of too, like a storm. When we drove home from that racetrack a couple weeks ago, it was really, really, really hard rain where even I had to going like 40 miles an hour. I could hardly see the hood of my truck. But there were cars that were just had their flashers on and were basically just stopped. And it's like, all right, we're on the interstate three lanes wide. You can't be in the fast lane not moving or pulling off on the left shoulder of the road. It's just rain. Be an adult.

[CJ]

I think Mike and I are just saying, like, you literally are not on the road. You're just off on the slant up of the bridge.

[Evan]

But one person stops and then another person stops and then it's a full blown traffic jam.

[Ken]

This. I agree. I love them. This is such a good debate. I'm so excited.

[CJ]

I don't think he understands that's like the thing if you stop on the shoulder.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Mike]

I still think you got to keep moving. Unless you're a motorcyclist who's like actually gonna die. But if you're in a vehicle as nice as the car is, I think you have to keep moving. You can't stop on it.

[Ben]

Okay, how about this?

[Ken]

Definitely can't. If you're in A driving lane.

[CJ]

Definitely can't do that.

[Ken]

I will hit your rear bumper.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, that's.

[Ken]

I will push you through there.

[CJ]

That's way worse.

[Ben]

The most competent drivers, who usually tend to be going a little faster could crash.

[Ryan]

Okay, what about this? What about this?

[Ben]

Not in a bridge. Can you pull over?

[Ryan]

Gas station.

[Ken]

Oh, I was thinking about that. Are you pumping?

[Evan]

I would stay.

[Ken]

Are you pumping?

[Ryan]

All right, Ken. Staying?

[Mike]

Absolutely. Not if you.

[CJ]

Absolutely.

[Mike]

You shouldn't even walk into the gas station. If you're done pumping gas while leaving your car at the pump, go park somewhere else and get the. Out of the way. You know, pissed off I'm. When I pull in and you gotta wait for five to 10 minutes, there's

[Ken]

a car park, someone's in there getting their.

[Mike]

What?

[Ryan]

What if you're filling up with gas but you don't need it?

[Mike]

No, no, I do it all the time. But I think I'm breaking the law. I leave the pump run, and to fill up a Raptor is going to take 10 minutes. I can go inside, come back out, and it's still not done.

[Ken]

That is the.

[Mike]

That's.

[Ben]

God forbid it quits pumping while you're buying your fruit snacks.

[Mike]

I mean, if it's 30 seconds. I don't eat fruit snacks.

[Ben]

Sorry.

[Mike]

No. If it's like for 30 seconds or May. I'm saying you stand by your vehicle for the 10 minutes to fill it, then you put the pump back, leave your vehicle parked at the pump, and then go in the station.

[Ben]

That sounds insane.

[CJ]

I just run in, grab my drink, I come out, it's almost done.

[Ken]

Probably done hailing.

[Mike]

You've never seen that before.

[Ben]

Yeah, they do.

[Ryan]

Are you talking. Are we talking hail or.

[Mike]

No, I'm saying in a normal day, people.

[Ben]

The debate has shifted.

[Ryan]

Interesting. I think people like that are just haven't made up their mind, and then they're just like, I better go.

[Ben]

Okay, I have done that.

[Ryan]

And it's a.

[Ben]

It's a mind makeup.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but you're. You're a customer of the gas station, they make money of you buying something. So you're filling up with gas. Oh, well, it's filling up with gas. I'll grab something. Oh, that's the problem there.

[Mike]

No, no, it's. When you're done pumping your gas and you stay parked. They have like, most gas stations have a shitload of parking spots, like up against the building. Oh, you could fill your vehicle, pull up to the gas station, and then let that guy that's waiting in the parking lot to pull up to the pump in. It's just like a respect.

[Ryan]

I get. I get you. Now you're saying when you're done pumping gas.

[CJ]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Leaving your car sitting there is a Cheeto move. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I follow. I agree. That pisses me off, actually.

[Ken]

That's like when we're on road trips and get the diesel guys going. Yeah, yeah, well, cuz, you know, I'm dealing with the truckers and whatever. But when I fill up, I will have to piss so bad. I'll fill up the truck, I'll run in, grab my vittles, come back out, unhook the diesel, be like, all right, we're ready to go. I've done most of the work here. We're ready. And then Mike's just, I'm gonna go get a snack.

[Ryan]

I'm like, what the classic.

[Ben]

Classic.

[Mike]

I'm at the Montana little slot machine.

[Ben]

That'd be half the. Half the time. I'd be like, well, Evan's still in there.

[Ken]

But if I called Evan and said, yo, we're rolling, he'd be like, let me just burn this hundred dollars in five seconds and I'll be out.

[Ben]

But yeah, nobody knows how to burn a quick hundred.

[Mike]

What if you're gonna say, make a quick gas station stop? Because I think I can stop pretty quick.

[Ken]

Yeah, you're quick.

[Ryan]

Any other, like, controversial topics that are everyday occurrences?

[Ken]

Blowing your yard clibbons into the road.

[Mike]

Unacceptable.

[Ben]

I mean, honestly, unacceptable.

[Mike]

Blowing your leaves into your neighbor's lawn, like, they're not going to notice. That's.

[Ken]

Dude, no.

[Ben]

I think if you blow your clibbons out into the road, you gotta, like, blow them back.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You don't have to blow way back in your yard. You just got to get them off again. Off the main road.

[Ryan]

Victory lap. At least around the property.

[Ben]

At least get them onto the shoulder of the road.

[Mike]

I know maybe people are really concerned about having the perfect lasers, but if you simply take the first three, like, passes of the mower and blow it in towards your own lawn.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Now you can blow back and it's like not going to make it to the road. So it's kind of just ignorant to blow right out into the highway.

[Ken]

I would agree.

[Ryan]

I don't know if that's controversial enough. I think everyone agreed.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ken]

I was intrigued. I knew that. I knew the hail thing would. But I'm just surprised the hail thing got Ken because the only person I've ever gotten this video from is Ken. Is Ken driving his focus hours? Well, My car's. My car's. It's like. It's like hailing. Dime size hail. Maybe less. It's.

[Evan]

And in that video, was I stopped under a bridge or was I driving?

[Ben]

No.

[CJ]

Well, I was.

[Evan]

I just kept driving through it because I was like.

[Ken]

Well, you did. You did.

[Ryan]

It's so Ken maxes out whatever kind of warranty or insurance plan he's on.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

If his door handle on his car even squeaks. Even squeaks the slightest bit, that is going back to the dealership. They're paying for the transport there and back. And.

[Evan]

Absolutely. You buy a brand new car, you expect it to be perfect. CJ's have problems with the truck window, and he's brought it back like six times, and they haven't fixed it.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

But his is a little bit more convenient. Yours has got to go like seven hours that way. And you're like, I'll chalk up a whole day just to get that squeaky door handle fixed now.

[Mike]

Must have a different program for that. I mean, the last. Didn't you have to fly to go get your car the last time?

[Evan]

Oh, no. I flew because it was going to be easier to go get it.

[Mike]

Didn't that what I just said?

[Ryan]

You flew to go get your car?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Because otherwise it is going through TSA to get your car. That's only two hours away.

[Evan]

All I'm saying is, otherwise I gotta pay. I gotta have somebody drive me down there and then go pick it up. Or I can just hop on a plane in the airport.

[CJ]

What was wrong with the car that time?

[Evan]

The stainless steel panel on the bed was, like, coming deglued and it was, like, falling off. So I had to, like, ship it down to Minneapolis, get it replaced, and now the other side is doing it. So now let's get shipped back down to Minneapolis and get that replaced.

[Mike]

But with how you operate, with wanting to maximize your warranties and whatnot, I had to bring you multiple times down there to pick it up. When your Teslas were bricked, they would send a wrecker out, pick it up, bring it there. But then you were required to go down there and pick it up to the point where I'm like, ken, you give me the number and I'm gonna start bitching at someone. If this is covered under warranty, why are we spending five hours?

[Evan]

Because.

[Mike]

To go pick this up.

[Evan]

Because they pay to bring it to the service center. They do not pay to bring it back to you.

[Mike]

But that's what you argue with them about and say, I'm a loyal Tesla customer.

[Evan]

That's how the warranty is written. Like, if it has to transported to the dealer for service, they will come pick it up, but they will not transport it back to you. You are responsible for picking it back up.

[Mike]

Bullshit.

[Ben]

I'm reading hot takes on Reddit and they're, like, pretty pretty basic. And then this one is just, everyone should get free Xanax when they go to the dentist. That is an insane hot take.

[Ken]

That is a hot take. I'm actually scared of the dentist. I've been to the dentist in, like, two years.

[Mike]

Really?

[Ben]

Yeah, I went on a good stint there, too. Like, I was, you know, growing up. My mom would make me go every six months, and then I went, like, a good three years without going.

[Ken]

Did you have cavities?

[CJ]

Scared of?

[Ben]

Yeah, I have cavities. Yeah.

[Ken]

I'm just worried that I'm going to, like, have cavities.

[CJ]

You want to get those fixed? If you did have.

[Ben]

It's. It's similar to, like, going to the doctor. Like, you.

[Ken]

You like this good news?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

When I. When I've had to go to the dentist, they have to, like, knock me out. I just pay the extra 500 bucks for anesthesia.

[CJ]

Honestly, I mean, that's not, like, routine cleaning.

[Mike]

I haven't had a routine cleaning since I was in high school.

[Ben]

Oh.

[Mike]

It's only when there's a serious problem and I need some shit yanked, and then I go, send me to the surgery center and knock my ass out.

[Evan]

It's kind of like one of things where you just do the routine cleaning that's kind of painless. You just sit there with your mouth open for 45 minutes than it is to just spend the extra money and do the surgery.

[Ken]

I think the problem for me originally was we were so damn busy. Like, I only will book an appointment like that on a Thursday because I know that every other single day of the week is completely fine.

[Ben]

And it sounds silly to say, like, oh, I'm so busy. I keep missing my appointments for a year or two. Right. But let's just say we're putting Ben's car up on a pole, for example. It's a big deal that's only going to happen one time.

[Ken]

Yeah, I'm missing.

[Ben]

I would call in and be like, sorry, I can't make it. I have something much more important.

[Ken]

Then I think I just. And then, yeah, then they called and they go, hey, bud, you missed your appointment. Let's make another one. And then I just, like. Then they start calling you, Miss that call, you're just, you're like, I don't even want to just be. I just don't want to call back.

[Ryan]

For what?

[Ken]

The dentist book.

[Mike]

The early morning when I was trying to get my fixed, it was like two months out. Every time you'd book, and then I'd even run by and we'd have nothing on the schedule. Yeah, just do it on a Friday. You'll be good. Then it would be Thursday before. Oh, no, we're flying to Washington this weekend or whatever. Like. All right, well, I'll just call and reschedule. Okay. That'll be three months later. Again. Again. Again.

[Ken]

That's what I'm saying.

[Ryan]

Oh, well, dude, I think that being a dentist would be the best, like, doctor profession. Like, you got to go through all that school. But dude, they have the best schedules. Like, a dentist that's, you know, put in his time. They're working like two days a week.

[Ben]

And it really does seem like a lot of, you know, when, like a surgeon has to come in, like, they have to, like, they show up because they need to do surgery, which a lot of dentists do. But most of the time they just show up and go, yeah, everything's looking good.

[Mike]

Or grab it with pliers and rip it out.

[CJ]

Yeah. But you don't have like anyone dying on your hand.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Like some life threatening. And even you need to save him right now. Otherwise if. Yeah, if you mess up, he's gonna die.

[Ben]

But even if it is looking bad.

[Ryan]

Pressure.

[Ben]

Even if it is looking bad, they're like, all right, this is standard procedure. We're gonna yank the one and they charge the.

[Ryan]

Out of you.

[Ben]

Yeah. But even though I was gonna say expensive.500 to get knocked out seems relatively reasonable, so. I see.

[Mike]

Yeah. Because I think, you know, the insurance will. Insurance will cover some stuff, but because it's like, like not essential.

[Ben]

Right.

[Mike]

For the anesthesia, it's like 5, 600 bucks.

[Evan]

Dental insurance is kind of where it only covers a little bit and then like, you're responsible for everything else.

[Mike]

No, like, the insurance for me, I had to get it. I had to get a tooth pulled. They pay to get it pulled, but they won't pay to get it replaced. You don't need it.

[Ryan]

I don't need to go to the insurance, but I've already paid my deductible for the year, so I'm gonna just run it up.

[CJ]

Yeah, I've been going to the dentist every week. I have insurance.

[Ryan]

It's covered.

[CJ]

I already hit my deductible.

[Ryan]

He's an insurance maxer. Yeah. I don't know. I used to want to be a dentist, but I think being a dentist would be pretty satisfying. One, like schedule two, make a lot of money. And then three, like, they're kind of like artist of the mouth. I think that'd be satisfying.

[CJ]

But you're always looking down into someone's mouth every day, which. Yeah.

[Ken]

And up their nose.

[Ben]

And then you got cleats. Brother who went dentist to youtuber. I mean, I think he's still a

[Ryan]

dentist, but yeah, it seems like he's running a pretty good program.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You know, like I look at that, I'm like, dude, this guy is running an awesome program.

[Ben]

Yeah, that is pretty funny.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

He's making content but still doing dentist stuff, which, like, more than pays the bills, that's for sure.

[Ken]

And he owns a car wash, dude.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

My dream's always been known to car

[Mike]

wash and a nascar.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Ben]

He's kind of got.

[Ryan]

I feel like you could kind of

[Ben]

got it figured out pretty easily. I feel like I would happily invest

[Ryan]

with you do by the way, call it Ryan's.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Would it be automate automated or would you have like actual hand wash? Or is it going to be like the thing where it's a touch where it's like.

[Ken]

No, I think, I think I'd like to do a mix where it's like. Like the bucky's ones where you pull in and there's a guy that stands there and pressure washes off your. And then it goes through scratch factory and then it comes out and then somebody wipes it down for you.

[Ben]

So. Yeah. And we have a local one like called dons and that to me is the best because at least if you power wash it before, the scratch factory isn't as bad. Bad.

[Ken]

Yeah, I think, I think that'd be a sick program or just a nice, nice touchless car wash. You know, just like the standard peel your wrap right off. Yeah.

[CJ]

Probably better.

[Ken]

Probably a better.

[CJ]

And also you don't have to manage it as much.

[Ben]

Yeah, but, but dude, you. You guys have seen it all the car washes popping up. Like the tommies, the zips, the.

[Ryan]

The.

[Ben]

The silver star. They're all touch. They're all scratch factories.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So, like, because most people don't really care.

[Ben]

They don't really.

[Evan]

It's because they can pump so many

[Ben]

more cars through those than they can so much faster.

[Evan]

Dude.

[Ken]

Randy hits the scratch factory every single day.

[Evan]

I do that every day.

[Ken]

And I'm like, can we get you A touchless car wash pass. So your car isn't even dirty. You cannot go through the scratch factory and then go back and then get that when it's dirty. But every single day he hits a

[Ryan]

car wash. That's pretty crazy. I mean and Ken dropping that. That he also does that. He's a subscription maxer as well.

[Evan]

I go through the. The scratch factory every day but I've got a wrap on my. I've got a PPF on my car. So you just leave it in the sun and then it just like melts the scratches away.

[Ken]

So you're saying that due to that ppf say it would be hard to damage.

[Evan]

Well it is like coming off.

[Ben]

That's going to withstand a donut like

[Ken]

a soft pastry wouldn't probably affect.

[Evan]

That's more of just a respect kind of thing again.

[Ryan]

It's like I would drive that thing through hail. I drive it through hail donuts, a little bread. Not on my car.

[Evan]

Dude.

[Ben]

I'm all about still. I still use whale of a wash. You know the. The true self serve. Like you can put quarters in. You can slide your card. Now I'm all about those.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Ben]

But gosh, are they shitty.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Like they're just grimy and musty and like all used.

[CJ]

Before we had our own shop. I would always hand wash my car because it just would turn out better and I didn't want to use a touch and. But it's always like you're there.

[Mike]

It's.

[CJ]

They're all. They always kind of happen to be in a hood.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And they've got.

[Ryan]

There's a little bit like maybe a

[CJ]

homeless guy walking around. And then there's like this one dude just kind of chilling that you're kind of keeping your eye on as you're

[Ben]

washing or the guy, you know. Yeah. The one I go to is a lot.

[Ken]

He's just watching guys bend over washing their car hoping to get a show.

[Mike]

But I use like that style one. I just bring my own. My own mitten.

[Ben]

Same. Yeah.

[Mike]

And then just only use the brush.

[Ryan]

I do love.

[Ken]

That's a good one. Bucket washing your car at the.

[Ben]

No, that's what I do.

[CJ]

We're like, it's. It gets jammed up and you're trying to use like the rinse but then it's still spraying like soap or some.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

It's just like this whole thing was a waste.

[Ben]

I get such a kick out of. So I come with like a bucket that.

[Mike]

That.

[Ben]

That already has water in it and soap in it and a Wash your

[Ryan]

own water to a car wash because

[Ben]

in order to fill it up with the pressure washer, it's a pain.

[Mike]

I just spray it with the foam and then use the foam on it.

[Ben]

So then, you know, you eat up a dollar trying to fill your bucket up. But just come with water. I come with the mitt. Right.

[Ken]

I must be driving really careful.

[Ben]

I come with the supplies. Yeah. I. And then at the end, I just get a crack cracked up at people watching me. Because then I pull out my leaf blower and start drying my car. And they're like, this guy's kind of

[Ryan]

got it figured out. Damn, Mike, I had no idea.

[CJ]

Washer and just do it in your driveway.

[Ben]

But I don't like doing it in the sun.

[Ken]

Yeah, the sun.

[CJ]

Actually, if you do it kind of at night, though, where it's dusk.

[Ben]

Yeah, actually, I don't mind doing a car in the sun, but my truck in the sun is like. I have to wash it in like six sections.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And you have to have four ladders.

[CJ]

I do it because it magnifies it.

[Ken]

It.

[Ben]

Yeah, right.

[Ryan]

Yeah. But just dries out, really.

[Ben]

I like going to the self serve a lot.

[Mike]

The self serve wash we have in. In Cloquet, it's got like six bays and then there's an outdoor bay. It's like a big.

[Ben]

That's where the mud guys.

[Mike]

Campers. But. Well, yeah, I think they pretty much discourage mud, period. But definitely at least for like RVs, campers, boats like that. So my dad would always go there a couple times a year and give the boat a good rub down. And he had done that, you know, a nice little Sunday goes, washes the boat. About half hour later, cops show up to the house. And he's like, yeah, what's going on? You're like, were you at the car wash? He's like, yeah. Apparently when he pulled out the pressure washer, hose looped around the boat motor.

[Ryan]

No.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he just, like paid for it and it was like, cool. I think the owner of the car washes, like, wanted it fixed and didn't really know what to do. So they like got the license plate, called the cops of it. Honestly, there could have been.

[Ken]

The pressure washer is still wrapped around his trolling motor.

[Mike]

But yeah, so, I mean, he paid for it. He wasn't like. He just had no idea. It was just funny. He's probably.

[Ken]

Oh, my bad.

[Mike]

Oops.

[Ben]

Have you guys ever seen anybody pull away from the gas station with the pump in it? Pump in it?

[Mike]

My dad's done that as well.

[Ben]

Done it.

[Ryan]

I've done it. What happened?

[Ben]

Did it.

[Ryan]

I think I did it in my lambo. In my huracan. I swear I think I did it in my huran.

[Ben]

Something tells me it had to have

[Ryan]

hooked in insane dude.

[Ben]

Something tells me it just lightly fell out then cuz otherwise you would have told us.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, I think it did.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Ryan]

It didn't.

[Ken]

It didn't pull the whole look down

[CJ]

off the ground and drive away.

[Ryan]

Mike. I wasn't jumping at the opportunity to tell you about that one.

[Ben]

No, I'm just saying like if it ever happened to somebody I would tell them. But I so badly want to see it get like hooked in there and the tension and doing like rip it off the gas.

[Mike]

That's why they put there's like a joint on the hose.

[Ken]

They're meant to like. Yeah, they're break away. So you didn't when you did it, it didn't break away, it pulled out.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think it just slot.

[Mike]

Oh, I almost did it a bushel of years ago. I can't remember. I was in the hurry to do something, pumped the gas while I was getting vittles, come back with armful of vittles, jump in the truck, put it in drive, start rolling away. And my girlfriend goes, are you going to take the pump out? I went, oh my goodness.

[CJ]

Did you just say you were pumping the gas and you went inside to get vittles?

[Mike]

That's what I'm telling you. It's acceptable if you're actively pumping gas while you're inside.

[Ben]

It's not.

[Mike]

You come back and then still pumping gas and you put it o.

[CJ]

Or even if it's finished while you're get out there.

[Ken]

It's not waiting for the pump to be done then putting it away then going inside. That's what's up.

[CJ]

I see. Okay.

[Mike]

I just, just either way, she saved me on that one. I totally would have drove off. So I was stoked about that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Tough look.

[Ken]

I think one of our friends did it back in the day when they were coming out to the lake.

[Evan]

They were like.

[Ken]

Yeah, we were just so excited they were coming down to hang on the weekend. They drove away with the pump in the thing.

[Ryan]

I feel like I've seen seen somebody do it where it actually breaks it.

[Ken]

Yeah, like breaks. It has like a joint.

[Mike]

I think I've seen like clips online, but I'm pretty sure most of them are set up because it'll be like car driving down the road dragging the whole hose And I don't know how likely that is that that's actually what would happen.

[Ryan]

We were gonna do that as a prank on Ken one time of like watch him go to the gas station and then go to the shop afterwards and like buy a hose and, and the nozzle and put it in and then run inside of like.

[Ben]

[Ken]

When Bobby's out buying Buffalo, he wants to know exactly where his money's going and make sure that he has enough in the bank to make it happen. And that's why he uses Monarch.

[Ben]

Monarch is the personal finance app that keeps track of your money so you don't have to. It monitors all your accounts, investments, saving goals and spending in one place, making it easy to stay on top of your finances.

[Evan]

Monarch is like having a personal financial advisor right in your pocket. It helps you keep track of your spending, stay on top of your goals, and gives you a clear picture of where your money is going all throughout the expensive price tag of hiring an actual advisor.

[Ken]

Use code wide [e-mail] to get your first year of Monarch Core half off. Off at just $50. That's 50 off your first year at monarch.com with code wide open.

[Ryan]

You drove off with the nozzle and then get his reaction to it. But then he started driving an electric car.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Way to go. That is. That's a funny prank though.

[Mike]

Yeah, now you just have to deal with an extension card.

[Ryan]

True.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's pretty funny too.

[Ken]

One of my buddy's cars got struck by lightning.

[Mike]

McQueen?

[Ken]

No, no, he's just. He's just driving down the interstate for the lake. I got struck by lightning and started on fire.

[Mike]

What?

[Ken]

Yeah. Burned to the ground.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[Ben]

What?

[CJ]

Insane.

[Ben]

Yeah, you almost forgot to add that part.

[Ryan]

What did it strike?

[Ken]

I think like the hood or something.

[Ryan]

And it started on fire?

[Ken]

Yeah, I think it started an electrical fire. And then I think like two summers later he was parked on the street that you and I live on and his car got sideswiped by a truck driver.

[Ryan]

Oh, that's tough. Tough.

[Ken]

So he's had some bad luck with cars. Real good guy, too.

[Ryan]

Getting struck by lightning is.

[CJ]

Yeah, I wonder what lucky.

[Ryan]

What are the odds of that? But you're more likely to get struck by lightning like five times than you are to win the lottery once or something like that.

[Mike]

No, I have heard that.

[Ben]

Maybe I'll take those

[Ken]

but you can buy more than one ticket that helps your eyes.

[Ben]

That's true.

[Evan]

One in 1.2 million.

[Ben]

Oh wow. That's. Odds are slim.

[Ryan]

And no, that's not. That's that slim.

[Evan]

And over the course of an 80 year lifetime, it's 1 in 15, 000.

[Mike]

That act that seems shockingly low.

[Evan]

This is chat GPT.

[Ken]

Are they only pulling people who run around with metal rods outside?

[Mike]

Was this like the knights wearing suits of armor?

[Ryan]

Okay, so are you aware I heard

[CJ]

this, but I thought I heard if you get struck by lightning once, you'll like get struck again. You're more.

[Mike]

I think it is more likely. That's what. How is that possible?

[CJ]

Just because you still have it in you or something? Like you're just like I got that lightning in statics just permanently in you that now you're just attracting it more or what?

[Mike]

There's got to be something about you that attracts it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Mike]

I've heard something like that.

[CJ]

You get struck by lightning once, you're

[Ryan]

check that struck again, dude. You got to have like a higher frequency after that though. You got to be rolling around a little different.

[CJ]

You got to have energy.

[Ryan]

Struck by lightning, that's an excess for life.

[CJ]

You don't need coffee, you don't need anything after that. You're just good to go.

[Ryan]

The only thing that happens after you get struck by lightning is you're more likely to get struck by lightning.

[Ken]

You gotta move, dude.

[Ryan]

You gotta be just like oh my gosh, this sucks.

[Evan]

Chat. Chat says yes you are. But only because people who get struck by lightning are typically more outdoorsy or

[Ben]

so it's just your life.

[Evan]

Like they're saying a park ranger, a golfer or golf course employee, a roofer, farmer, utility worker or mountain guide are the most likely to get struck.

[Ryan]

There's a. There's a park ranger I want to say in like Yosemite that's been struck by lightning like seven times. Can you look?

[Ben]

How does he look like, how is he alive?

[Evan]

Roy Sullivan is a park ranger who got struck seven times. Strikes are attributed to spending decades outdoors.

[Ryan]

Dude, talk about trust issues.

[CJ]

Like show though. Like if you get struck, doesn't it like don't you have like scarring or something?

[Ryan]

Well, what's the likelihood of living through getting struck by lightning?

[Ken]

They should put a little metal tip in their hat.

[CJ]

Oh wow. So he doesn't even.

[Ken]

He's looking pretty damn.

[Ben]

Roy Sullivan's kind of.

[Mike]

He's actually only 27 years old though.

[Ben]

It hyper aged him.

[Mike]

You Hear about. I think it was the first major golf tournament that John Daly ever won. So when he was, like, a kid and broke, some kid got struck by lightning on the driving range.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

And he donated his entire winnings to, like, the family or that kid. I think the kid lives. But whatever. Like, donated every. Which is pretty cool.

[Ryan]

Wow, that's. Can we get a fact check on that kid again?

[Ken]

That's really cool.

[Evan]

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

[Mike]

John Daly's first tournament major.

[Evan]

Sending you notes.

[Mike]

Lightning.

[Ken]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Evan]

It was a spectator was struck by lightning. Don't see anything about what you're saying, though. Oh, no. Yeah. Daily donated 30,000 to Weaver's family for a college fund for his kid.

[Mike]

I think the Cool P is the first time John Daly won any actual money.

[Ken]

So it was. Yeah. Like, a really big deal to him as well. That's really cool. Do you see his. Duncan act mad? He's like, ask for a Daily style with just a little bit of room at the top.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Ryan]

That's funny, dude.

[Ken]

He's really made a career out of being a drunk golfer.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Living the dream.

[Ben]

And think. I bet so many people told him that he would not be able to do that. And he did it and then kept doing it.

[Mike]

The only thing I kind of have with John Daly is like, I love John Daly. I think he's hilarious. Everything he's done. But sometimes when you hear the statistics of, like, what he says he consumes in a day, I'm like, I don't think you drank, you know, 48 Coca Colas and then had, like, 72 beers. Like, I just.

[Ken]

It don't even make sense.

[Mike]

A lot of liquid and, like, five packs of cigarettes. I'm like, that means you literally. Do you light one and throw it? But, like, there's, like, not enough time in the day to smoke seven packs of cigarettes or something. I don't know. Some of the stats just seem high, but I don't want to overthink it because I think he's a great guy.

[Evan]

Like, Ryan, your dad goes through an absurd amount of Cokes, but he only drinks, like, a quarter of it. And then he starts a new one.

[Ken]

One.

[Evan]

It's like, is that what John's doing or.

[Ken]

Well, that. I don't personally know my guy John, but if the reason Randy only drinks partials is because he doesn't want to drink, he's trying to cut down on how much he consumes. But he goes, if I'm going to have a sip of Coke, why have One that's been sitting on a 2x4 for an hour. I might as well have a fresh eat.

[Mike]

First sip is the best. I mean, I can relate with Mama

[CJ]

do, but yeah, that first. Yeah.

[Evan]

So the total number of cokes is probably the same, but the quantity of that coke is diminished.

[Ken]

Yeah. To say that he's probably. He might take down eight Coca Colas in a day, but he's really only consumed five.

[Evan]

So is that what Jon is doing? Like, is he ripping five packs of darts but he's only taking one puff off of them?

[Ken]

It could be.

[Ben]

Yeah, could be. It reminds me of in an interview when Snoop Dogg said that he smoked 80 blunts a day. And for the longest time the Internet was just like, bro, what the 80 blunts? And then he said people were acting like I'm some sort of machine. I was exaggerating. It's probably more like 15, which is. That's much more realistic.

[Ken]

Every famous person needs Micah around to call him on their. They're doing an interview with like.

[Ben]

Well, you can't.

[Ken]

Big thing.

[Ben]

You can't go on public and say you drink 70 beers a day. If you're not actually drinking 70 beers

[Mike]

and that are closed. Take one sip off the Coca Cola, like, that's fine. You can't be doing that with beers and claiming seven.

[Ken]

No, definitely not. Definitely not.

[CJ]

I go to the bar, I just sip off of 12 beers. I just slam 12 beers.

[Mike]

The only person I really believe the crazy statistics on is Andre the Giant.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

He's got.

[CJ]

Bro. Do you ever see the picture of the beer can in his hand? It looks like a mini pop.

[Ben]

Not even 8 out 6 ounce pops.

[CJ]

Apparently, like when they would drive them to like the shows in the limo, he was. Would crush like a. I don't know if it was like a 12 pack or a 24 pack just on the way.

[Mike]

No, I've seen that. Yeah, it was like an hour drive and he just crushed the 24. There's no problem, man.

[Ken]

Imagine if your girl dated Andre the Giant before you.

[Ben]

Oh, don't imagine that, guys.

[Mike]

I was just thinking how much piss that guy must have, but, yeah, I wouldn't like that neither.

[Ken]

You guys been hearing about all the heat in Europe?

[Ben]

What kind of heat?

[Ken]

I guess it's just like really literally there. Yeah, like, like also, weather is hot.

[Ben]

Can somebody tell me about the super El Nino or El Nina?

[Ken]

No, no, it's all. What's that big weather? Came up with it to have more to talk about.

[Ben]

I don't. I think it's like storm. It's going to be a wet year.

[Ryan]

It is so far, pretty wet if you ask me.

[CJ]

Dude, it's been raining all week.

[Mike]

Started super dry. I don't know, are we that far off like a normal or you can't check that like. Oh, at least for our neck of the woods.

[Evan]

I got a hot tape, I got a hot take coming up, but I got to verify the facts.

[Ben]

Oh, I'll take it.

[Mike]

I'm just saying it was super dry for a bit. Burning bands, all that. Now it's like raining a couple times a week. I don't know if it's that gnarly.

[CJ]

I actually did look it up last night.

[Ryan]

We're.

[CJ]

We're actually less than normal for June, but it does seem like it's been raining every day quite a bit.

[Ben]

All right, Ken's got a hot take for us.

[Evan]

Okay. US has all this air conditioning. Mean because it's so hot in Europe and they're so cheap, they don't have air conditioning.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Evan]

In 20, 24, 62, 775 people died from the heat.

[Ben]

Oh my gosh.

[Evan]

In Europe and Europe has more heat deaths than we have. Gun violence deaths.

[Ben]

Oh my gosh.

[Evan]

4, 000 people died from guns last year and they had 60, 000 people die to the heat.

[Ben]

That's insane.

[Ryan]

Hold on. No, where are you going with this?

[Ben]

He's just saying that Europe, it's not all.

[Ken]

It's cracked usa, rah rah rah, throw the tea in the ocean.

[Mike]

Europe bans guns, but they need to ban the heat. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Wait, are you saying that they need.

[Ben]

They don't need universal healthcare, they need universal air conditioning.

[Evan]

You just need freaking air conditioning.

[Ben]

That's crazy.

[CJ]

I couldn't do it.

[Mike]

Are you saying they don't use AC because it's bad for the environment?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Oh, really?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

They try to say bad for the environment. I didn't.

[Ken]

Yes, technically, but not really. I think if you use an air conditioning system 24 hours a day for your entire life, you put out less pollution than a jet does in takeoff. So like.

[CJ]

Well, Mike, how's that make you feel?

[Ben]

I like air conditioning.

[CJ]

All those jets you've bought for us?

[Ben]

Oh yeah. So many.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Mike, you gotta offset your carbon footprint. Yeah, I think you're gonna.

[CJ]

Without the AC for the rest.

[Ben]

Yeah. I was like, we'd have to fly a jet like every time we ever fly again to even offset like one year of Taylor Swift's touring.

[Ken]

Don't bring the Swift, dude.

[CJ]

Just Think about how much are you

[Ryan]

trying to get me in trouble, dude?

[CJ]

Honestly, I couldn't do it. Like straight up, no ac. I wouldn't be able to sleep.

[Ryan]

I'd be.

[CJ]

I'd look like hell. I'd look even worse than I already look right now.

[Ben]

Just wouldn't be able to see.

[CJ]

Dude.

[Ben]

When he told me the other day, he goes, yeah, so we're staying at Alex's dad's. Wayne's. Wayne keeps it like a fridge in there. And he's like. And I still don't sleep with covers and I still sometimes sweat a little hot, which is crazy because I run colds or.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

I don't know what it is.

[Mike]

It's been pretty crazy, but. But I have not ran AC yet this year. How.

[CJ]

That's.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's been cool at night.

[Ben]

You kind of get used to it.

[Ken]

Open a window.

[Mike]

Does open the windows and it is. And get the house down to like 60. Like we haven't been having nights that are 80 degrees. Really. I mean maybe a few, but not enough.

[Ben]

Like, how is he doing?

[CJ]

I had the door open when I was staying at my. My parents house. Well, my house is still being remodeled. In the winter I would open the door.

[Ryan]

Door.

[CJ]

There's a sliding glass door in the room. I was standing. I would open it and like cool the room down in the middle of winter.

[Mike]

Probably just makes the furnace pump hotter because you're.

[Ryan]

No, there's no.

[CJ]

It is an old house. It's an old house. There's not like central air or anything like that. It's just like a. You just turn the thing and it's like a floor heat thing for the room. So I had to turn that off. Yeah, I don't know, I just. I like it cold.

[Mike]

I might have gotten acclimated to the heat over the past few years though, because the room here is.

[Ben]

You definitely have a hot box. But I think, I mean it's like, like it's probably a good thing. Like that means like if we're traveling or wherever, you're like, oh, I thought it's fine.

[CJ]

Yeah, you're definitely less temperamental sleeping.

[Mike]

But Mike, would you agree every time we go somewhere, you switch the opposite beds and you make me go by the ac cuz you're like, I like

[Ken]

it way too cold, dude.

[Ben]

I have my house at 70 and I still am a little chilly. I just run cold. So whenever we're at the hotel, I always make whoever I'm with sleep close to the ac and it's usually someone like, well, Evan, you what? But Gavin's like, sick. We gonna be able to get the freaking snowflakes to fly out of this thing. And I'm like, oh, gosh. Yeah, he runs really hot.

[Ken]

I kind of do that to Spenny too. Yeah, I always said it too cold.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's freezing up here. Like when we're running a podcast, we'll turn the AC down, but then it gets. It stays on. So when I'm up here in my office editing on. On a Thursday, my office is like 62 degrees.

[Ben]

You can't close your do.

[Ken]

Steak is too buttery.

[Ryan]

No, no, it's. It's too cold, dude. It's actually, bro, sweating our sitting. They're just like shivering, dude.

[Ben]

We. We got more air conditioning in this shop than we ever had. And boy, is it nice.

[Ken]

Nice four hole mini splits.

[CJ]

We used to be sweating our incredible off. No shirt on up here, just dogging it.

[Ken]

On a Thursday used to be like, it would get up to like 90 degrees in here. One, we had the doors open a lot more in here. And then it gets humid. You trap the humidity. You can't cool it down at night. The slab gets. But I actually, I've been seeing different guys, like smaller YouTubers and they'll be like, how do I cool my shop? I'm like, Dude, $2,000 on a mini split is the best money you can spend, dude.

[CJ]

I slept over at Ken's house actually this weekend. Ryan did too.

[Ben]

How'd it go?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah,

[CJ]

his house was a little hot.

[Evan]

Like 68.

[CJ]

I. I had a hard time sleeping.

[Mike]

Really. I.

[CJ]

But it was very good, was fantastic.

[Ben]

And that's what I said to him. I was like, you should have been more drunk around.

[Ken]

I just passed out, dude.

[Ryan]

I saw like Snapchats at like 3:30 in the morning of Ken's house. Just bumping.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

But I didn't recognize a single person in the Snapchat. Who were those people?

[Evan]

Just the neighbors.

[CJ]

So, yeah, Ken, I'm looking around. It's probably like two in the morning at this point. Ken's gone. He went upstairs a while ago. He's just used to having people. Literally, the speakers are like, the whole house is shaking and he's nowhere to be found. I'm like tired. I wanted to go about an hour ago, but these people watch locked in. So I was kind of like trying to talk, whatever. And then I just was like, all right, we're just gonna go upstairs and go to bed. So me and Alex go upstairs, we get in our room the bed was shaking because he has so many subwoofers in the ceiling underneath it. So Alex is like, I can't do this. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I'm like, they'll leave eventually. Like 30 minutes, maybe an hour later, they finally dipped out of there.

[Ryan]

But did you lose anything in the process? Like a. Like a vase or something?

[CJ]

No, but I like to think I'm the first one to lay pipe in Ken's house, so.

[Ryan]

Ooh. I don't know if I'd say, but I'd say straw.

[Ken]

Maybe a little straw.

[Evan]

Maybe like a toothpick.

[Mike]

Mediocre wienering perhaps.

[Ryan]

All you have to ask Alex. At best, it's pretty good.

[CJ]

So anyways, I like to. Yeah, I definitely beat Ryan.

[Evan]

Do a fantastic job making the bed. The next day. I couldn't even tell you guys slept.

[CJ]

I thought you was out.

[Ryan]

Sorry.

[Ken]

We stripped the bed. We were like, you're going to want to wash the sheets.

[CJ]

Oh, I bet you want to know something. Is Alex, you and you and Alondra left before Alex and I. And Alex was like, I don't think that Ken wants us to strip the bed cuz I doubt he wants to remake it or wash the sheets. So then Alex put it back together.

[Ryan]

Perfect.

[Ken]

Dude, it was comfy beds though. Dude, it was comfy bets.

[Ryan]

I heard pretty good reviews.

[Ben]

Yeah, I heard.

[Ryan]

I've been hearing them actually from multiple sources. They must be pretty good.

[Evan]

Hey, what can I say? It's been for guests.

[Ken]

Casa Casa de Ken. Quite the. Quite the hosting place.

[Mike]

Something light for lunch today.

[Ken]

What are we having?

[Mike]

Lasagna. No, I absolutely love it. And it's completely up to who's eating, like on what your portion is. But there's something about an 80 degree day and a lasagna French bread lunch that'll really slow it down.

[Evan]

80 degrees with 80 humidity.

[Mike]

You know, it's very first world problems to not actually complaining, just stating that it's so good I'm gonna overeat meat.

[Ken]

It really is how it happens.

[Ben]

Yeah, it will do that to you. Like some of those heavy meals, you're like, dude, I mean, I don't even eat this good on Thanksgiving. For some of those. When she really balls out, me and C.J.

[Mike]

always, we just have the like the little kind of inside joke where it's just like, oh yes, something light where it's like pot roast and mashed potatoes and just a full Thanksgiving spread. Stuffing or whatever. Oh, yes, something like a salad to

[Ben]

start, a big slice of carrot cake to Finish it off.

[Ryan]

Off.

[Ken]

Do you guys see that video of that guy at Pike's Peak just missing the corner?

[Ben]

Can we watch that?

[Mike]

Pretty violent.

[Ryan]

That looks off.

[Mike]

He was okay, though, right?

[Evan]

He is so lucky that he just watch it.

[Ben]

I mean, that's the beauty of a, you know, I don't know, quality watching here.

[Ryan]

Is this a mudslide?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Is this a mudslide?

[Ken]

This isn't what I meant to show you guys, but I'm intrigued.

[Ben]

Trying to figure out what's moving and what's not.

[Evan]

Holy.

[Ryan]

What is.

[Ken]

Why are they still standing there?

[Ryan]

How is this happening?

[Mike]

Excessive rain on a steep slope.

[Ken]

Here we go.

[Ryan]

Oh, my.

[Ben]

There's an in my. Oh, gosh. Oh, my gosh. He got so lucky that he didn't fold it around a tree. Dude. Like, no major trees. He's chilling.

[Ryan]

What kind of car was it?

[Ben]

Looks like a really expensive race car. I think it was a Porsche.

[Ryan]

It looks like a McLaren.

[Ben]

You're probably right.

[CJ]

You okay?

[Mike]

I'm good.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Ken]

I mean, think about one being a spectator. See this guy? I want to go back to the in car. Leave this bankman. Leave in fifth gear.

[Ben]

Fourth gear.

[Ken]

Yeah. He just clicks fifth and misses it. Like, you have to be like, I'm going to go peel this guy out of his car.

[Mike]

Wonder if he blacked out and tried to downshift. And that seemed like a random time to grab fifth.

[Ken]

Well, I. I think he didn't know that there was a corner there. I'm assuming there's so many different corners. You just. He just made a mistake. But, yeah. What a crazy race to be running.

[Ryan]

Where is Pikes Peak?

[Evan]

It's in Colorado.

[Ken]

It's 20 kilometers long. I wish Spenny was here to tell us how far that is, but it's pretty.

[Mike]

14 miles.

[Ryan]

15 miles. 14.

[Ken]

It's missed a corner. Pretty freaking crazy, though. I'd love to go watch Pike's Peak. I think it'd be really interesting racing, honestly. I think just rally racing is probably the coolest type of car racing, dare I say.

[Evan]

I think it's got some of the highest consequences.

[Ken]

And that's why I think. I think you're on dirt, you're sliding around. The only bummer is it's timed, not bumper to bumper.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't know. I guess.

[Mike]

But sometimes they'll still end up dicing or like racing. Because don't they do, like, launches every minute?

[CJ]

Yeah, you.

[Mike]

So then, yeah, you can get into

[Ken]

a battle, but they do it around here. They do the Ojibwe rally But I just, I just don't want to hop in our shitty Subaru and wrap it around a tree. Like I just, I'm scared.

[Ryan]

It's pretty crazy how little you like see or hear about rally now that Ken Block.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Isn't around. I mean him and Travis Pastrana. But yeah, it is true. More than Travis Pastrana. Like Travis Pastrana does so many things and he's legendary and so many things. But that was kind of Ken Block's like name to fame you could call it where you know, he took that and then went with like all the gymkhana from there there. So you'd see like these rally cars and like these viral moments where rally just didn't have that before Ken Block and now you just, you don't see or hear. At least I don't. Maybe, maybe the sport's still doing good.

[Ken]

But I. Yeah, I hope it is.

[Ryan]

Which is kind of just like. It just shows like the impact that he had on it and the difference that he made.

[Mike]

Just imagine it's another one of those racing sports that is extremely expensive to do with. Not a lot of return.

[Ryan]

Yeah, dude, I.

[Mike]

Which is all racing. I'd probably.

[Ben]

Yeah. Like the, the racing didn't get any less badass. Like I follow a handful of like photographers that shoot the rally events because it's just some of the sickest photos ever. Like it's still sick as hell. But yeah, there's just no social hype behind it.

[Ryan]

It's hard to spectate.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You know, because like impossible. You go to a part on the racetrack and you might see them for eight seconds.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

You know, it's basically a thing you have to watch on TV or you have to just watch the recap of after the fact.

[Mike]

Was pretty cool when they do like the head to head at X Games.

[Ben]

Yeah, that was.

[Ken]

Oh, that was cool.

[Mike]

Which is almost like when I think of what rallying is almost not bad. It's like. But it was, it was cool.

[Ben]

It was really cool.

[Mike]

I think super easy to just digest because it's just a 1v1 race. It's like pretty apparent what's going on.

[Ben]

They should bring that back. But I also feel like everyone in X Games is always like they should bring this back and this back. Well, they obviously don't do it because of money and this and that, but they should bring it back.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Cool. Well, they just probably don't do it because of like spectator desire.

[Ken]

Right.

[Mike]

But it was different when it was at like the LA Coliseum I think is where they do it. But yeah, they'd go, like, in and out, like, now. X Games, I'm pretty sure, like, since COVID is like, just in different locations. Yeah, I mean, like, different events are just in different spots, and it's all spread out, so. So in a way, they could have a sick rally. But then you're spectating. How are you gonna.

[Ryan]

Oh, it's not all in one spot anymore. Really.

[Mike]

No. Unless things have changed again recently. But yeah, like, Moto X was out at Slate Ground, and then they'd have, like, skate park built somewhere.

[Ben]

Somewhere.

[Ryan]

And then kind of like Olympic style.

[Mike]

Yeah, kind of like that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

But who knows? Maybe now things will be back to normal.

[Ryan]

Kind of.

[Ben]

Yeah. We kind of hit the last couple sessions when we went to Us basically Bank two years in a row where they did all in one stadium.

[Ryan]

Dude, that was lit, which.

[Ben]

That was lit, too. But it's cool when they can spread it out a little more.

[Ryan]

That's got to be such a nightmare to get all the logistics lined up for in one spot like that. Because then you got, like, the skate ramp, then you got the skate park, like, bowl, and then you got Moto, like, the mega ramp.

[Mike]

What's crazy when you look at it in the Bank Stadium, how much space Moto took up. And then it was like the BMX dirt jump was just this little sliver. The skate parks look tiny, like, if you're not down there by them. It was just, like, crazy how the space would get used.

[Ken]

Skating's hard to appreciate from 500ft away.

[Ben]

It is.

[Ken]

And.

[Ben]

And the skate park looked tiny. And then once we finally rolled up there, we're like, oh, this park is massive. I'm just glad they're still doing it.

[Mike]

It's crazy. Now it's like teams. I. I can't even talk too much because I don't know exactly how it works. But now they're doing multiple X Games. It's like a series.

[Ryan]

Teams.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And then you get, like, a sponsor, and you basically hire your riders.

[Ben]

Or like.

[Mike]

Like, professional athletes would be paid. Like the Vikings paid.

[Ken]

They're interesting.

[Ben]

Yeah. So it's like, just trying to evolve.

[Mike]

Yeah. Very interesting concept. See, like, how it goes. Like, this is the first year they're doing it, but definitely interesting.

[Ryan]

Who owns it? Espn.

[Ken]

ESPN did buy it at some point. I don't know if they still do.

[Ryan]

Sold it up off.

[Ken]

It's crazy. I just saw Dave Portnoy just released his book, and I'd completely forgotten that he'd sold his company for, like, Couple hundred million.

[Mike]

Bar stool was like 80 million or something. I thought, yeah, look, fact check it, cuz I just saw this pop up on my, on my feed.

[Evan]

X Games is owned by a private

[Ken]

capital now, 551 million. And then he bought it back. Back for a dollar craziest business move of all time. He got the bag and the cake at the end.

[Ben]

Are you able to imagine. Elaborate on how he did that? I actually was unfamiliar.

[Ryan]

He sold it to I think Penn, right?

[Evan]

Pen. Pen Gaming, which operates like casinos and sports books and a bunch of other stuff.

[Ryan]

And he was essentially costing them more money by like being a part of their publicly traded company. Like anytime controversial, he would go on and say something controversial. It would, you know, crash the stock price or something like that. But essentially what the big deal was is I think ESPN came to Penn and they were like, hey, let's do a gambling deal together. That was worth like several billion dollars.

[Ken]

Yep.

[Ryan]

And they were like, well, we can't because we're, you know, essentially in bed with Barstool Sports. So they were like, okay, we have this billion dollar deal, but we can't do it because of Barstool. We could sell Barstool and go through, you know, probably a year of that, or we could just take the. This deal right now that's on the table. The table. Give Barstool back to Dave Portnoy and then everyone wins. So they. Half a day one, Dave won, he got it back. But Barstool was losing money. So like they couldn't like, you know,

[Ben]

probably even if they did much money

[Ryan]

out of it as they wanted. And then they were like, all right, this is going to take a long time to do that when this deal might fall through. So it just made more sense.

[Evan]

But.

[Ryan]

Which is crazy. But.

[Ken]

And I did see in there that they had. There's a clause that if Dave ever sells again, Pen gets a cut of the second sale.

[Evan]

But the ESPN deal that Penn made, they shut that down in 2025.

[Ryan]

What?

[Ken]

Really?

[Evan]

Dude, it only lasted two years.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Ryan]

What was, how much was that deal worth?

[Ken]

Who's running Pen? Bunch of morons.

[Evan]

It was valued at 2 billion over 10 years. But it only lasted two years.

[Ben]

Well, big ups to Dave Portnoy then. I love his pizza reviews.

[Mike]

One bite.

[Ben]

Yeah. Everybody knows the rules. That's pretty. I love that video. When, when he. I don't know when this was in the last couple years when he went into the office and he was like, nobody around here does anything and I'm gonna crack down and Figure out what's going on. And he just started ripping on people and then he's like, what are you doing? Why did you didn't even come show up yesterday? And just. He's just roasting everybody and they're all like 25 year old kids essentially compared to him. And it was just hilarious. And then you kind of realized that was why Barstool was losing money.

[Ryan]

Funny.

[Ken]

Yeah, There was just people there, just.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What are they doing now? Like what is.

[Ben]

Well, that's the thing. If you actually.

[Ryan]

I mean, I don't think it's what it used to be.

[Ben]

If you actually get into the nitty gritty, they have like side shows, spin off shows, talk shows, podcasts, comedy shows,

[Ken]

High Noon, they own High Noon or Surfside. And he also has the. His dog, Lucky. Lucky. Lucky something.

[Mike]

Lucky Strike cigarettes.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they definitely got a lot going on.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Not saying that. A crazy amount going on, but like.

[Ben]

No. Yeah. Like what?

[Ryan]

Have like a grasp on the Internet like it used to.

[Ben]

No.

[Mike]

I don't know if we can show it or want to talk about it. We can cut it, but you guys see that clip I sent yesterday? The Instagram reel?

[Ben]

Yeah. That was crazy.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ben]

Oh, we don't have to show it.

[Ken]

Yeah. I was wondering what the hell was up with that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that was insane. That just come across your feed.

[Mike]

I actually got DM'd it and it was only captioned lifewise open. I'm like, well, I got to see what's going on here. I don't know the context. I don't know who was in the right or if they're both in the wrong. But yeah, it was just a couple of chicks fighting and the one throwing down was wearing a life wide open hat.

[Ben]

She came out of nowhere too.

[Mike]

Just. Yeah.

[Ken]

If you're going to fight in your life wide open gear, we'd prefer that you win. Yeah, please don't.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but if I think she did secure the dub. Yeah, it's hard to say. I mean, I was pretty confused watching it, like what was going on on, you know, without the context of who's fighting for who. You know, who stole who's man.

[Ken]

Yeah, exactly. You just. You just really can't tell when there's that much fist swinging. And it's kind of the same thing. Like, don't ever get in trouble and wear your life wide open shirt in a mug shot.

[Ryan]

Do we have any out there?

[Ken]

You should send it to us.

[Ryan]

I mean, most people don't get to wear T shirts for mug shots.

[Evan]

I Feel like I've seen a couple of the guys like the body.

[Ben]

The chick gets resident.

[Mike]

All right.

[Ben]

Tits out. Out.

[Ryan]

No, Mike, they usually have to wear orange.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah.

[Ken]

What the.

[Ben]

You don't get to wear a T shirt.

[Evan]

I mean, maybe it's different elsewhere, but I know, like, around here, they typically. The mug shot is like, when you're getting booked into jail before you have

[Mike]

to, like, know you wear your normal clothes.

[Ben]

Right, right, right.

[Ken]

We have seen.

[Ryan]

There's got to be some out there.

[Ken]

Then code blue cam, you know, videos of people wearing life w. Open gear stuff, doing some bad stuff.

[Ben]

Please don't.

[Ken]

Don't do that. I love seeing be a good representative of the brand.

[Mike]

I've seen the life fight open stuff and a lot of bike life.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah?

[Ken]

Yeah. Which fun.

[Mike]

Yeah, I love it.

[Ben]

Yeah. That maybe I was like, I guess if you get jammed up doing a wheelie, then maybe it's kind of cool. Especially if you're wearing the legalized wheelie shirt that literally has a mug shot on it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Can't believe. Yeah, I feel like we'd see that.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I got this video of. Of some Tom Foolery on a motorcycle.

[Ben]

Oh, gosh.

[Mike]

Oh, is this a Karen trying to stop it or.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Ken]

I'm watching this, and I'm like, what the hell's going on? And then I realized that this is trying to stop him on the motorcycle.

[Ben]

At first, it looked like she wanted to be there, which is a horrible place to be whether you do or don't want to be there.

[Ryan]

What is this? But is this Bobby? Is this Bobby?

[Mike]

At this point when she's hitting him, she pretty much is. I feel like in the wrong. Like, I don't.

[Ken]

He's pretty quick on. And then the cops come and of course, go after him. Not the crackhead in the street, but Denver do better.

[Ben]

Denver.

[Ryan]

How's this play out?

[Ken]

That was. That was the end of it playing out. Cop runs up all pissed off. But I don't. I don't really know why it started, but I remember seeing this video off the original, and I'm like, what the hell is this biker doing with this chick on the front?

[Ryan]

I mean, this one's pretty hard to.

[Ken]

He rips a pretty solid heater.

[Ryan]

This one's pretty hard to argue on his. His point of like, yeah, she was just attacking me. When he just does the gnarliest bur.

[Ben]

[Mike]

He was sitting on the side of the road. I just was already on it.

[Ken]

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Laying the 360 heater was pretty awesome.

[Mike]

Awesome with her.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he definitely committed to it. Yeah, yeah, he committed to it.

[Ben]

That thing was barking.

[Mike]

Just say, you know how loud that was between the buildings and everything.

[Ryan]

Yeah. What's going on out there? And then you look out and you see a crackhead hanging from the front of a bike.

[Mike]

I'm not so solo as a crackhead. It could have been just a good old fashioned Karen.

[Ryan]

It could have been a Karen.

[Ken]

Just a good old fashioned Denver Karen.

[Ryan]

There's gotta be some.

[Ben]

I just have the most random stuff written down in my notes. Like I just have CJ while we were at dinner the other night. CJ to Justin. Yo, Justin, you should start feeding Hayes, which is his one year old son, liver. Ted's serious, he's like, you should start feeding him liver now.

[Mike]

Have you guys been seeing the people that eat the. So we just put meat in the jar and let it fester for like three months. Just like aged meat.

[Ben]

Yeah, I've seen it. Don't do that.

[Mike]

Don't eat it yet. Don't think that's a good idea.

[Ben]

Do you think it's a good idea where they.

[Evan]

Where it gets all moldy, then they cut the mold off effectively?

[Mike]

Pretty much, yeah.

[Ken]

Does the mold cook it or something like with the heat?

[Evan]

No, it like ages it. But that's not how you're supposed to do dry aging. I don't think.

[Ben]

I also have written down at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if we got GTA 7 before GTA 6 pre orders.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we talked about that last week.

[Ken]

We did.

[Ben]

We're excited.

[Ken]

Evan, why the does somebody pre order a digital video game that doesn't sound sell out.

[Mike]

Perhaps it would be that your download is absolutely locked in the second it goes live.

[Ken]

That does kind of make sense.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Which still seems like you'd have a lot. Yeah, I don't really know. And maybe they have some form. I think that's a great incentive. I don't know, I haven't looked into it. But maybe there's a package that you can get where when you start the game you have a car stuff.

[Evan]

But why if the game isn't going to be released for an another four or five months, what is the point of doing the pre order now and not just in another two months or three months.

[Mike]

I mean, I agree. I would say the same thing I already just said is maybe there's a package that gives you some that people would want. I don't know why.

[Ken]

Or just want to look at it on your.

[Ben]

Yeah, I remember looking this up and it was like for those who want to financially plan, like spend the money now and not later. Which doesn't really make any sense. But I mean I love that idea. At the end of the day, day, this game is so anticipated that people just want it to hit their downloads the second it goes live.

[Mike]

I'm gonna have to buy a hard drive just to download this.

[Ben]

Damn, you probably will.

[Mike]

I thought I heard it.

[Ben]

I thought a lot of people are gonna have to.

[Mike]

Thought it's over a terabyte.

[Ken]

Jack, get on in here. I guess if C.J. isn't coming back. Come on in, bud.

[Ben]

Yeah, take a seat.

[Ken]

I want, I want you to show off.

[Ben]

Stomp on in here.

[Ken]

Shoes off to the cameras.

[Mike]

Cuz like at this point like what's a Call of duty? Like four or five. 200 gigabytes?

[Ben]

Yeah, I think 400.

[Mike]

And I thought that this was like

[Evan]

absolutely on it chat saying 250. But I.

[Ben]

What do they know, Jack? So if you know, you just got to keep the mic close to you. You can wear the headphones if not.

[Ryan]

Perfect.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What's going on, Jack?

[Ben]

I'm just hanging around.

[Mike]

I have a controversial take from Jack yesterday at lunch.

[Ben]

Okay, let's hear it.

[Mike]

He said Poopies is his favorite Jackass.

[Ryan]

He did say that.

[Ben]

I love, love that. You know who would love that too? Poopies.

[Mike]

Nothing against poopies. I just. When I think of jackass characters or personalities of course he's like not even.

[Ben]

No, he's not even New age.

[Ken]

New age Jackass fan of thing for

[Ben]

you to say, which I think is. That's a fun take.

[Mike]

But did you see it?

[Ben]

I haven't seen it yet. No, but I watched. I don't know if you guys saw the one with Poopies where he went to Danny Duncan's house and filmed a video with him that really made Me, like, an actual. He's funny.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, what is the. What's the new Jackass like, ev. Because you went and saw it, right?

[Mike]

Yeah, it was kind of like a lot of just reminiscing over the years from the very start up until the current. So they kind of narrated, like, some old bits, some uncut footage, a little bit of new stuff. Definitely worth the watch.

[Ryan]

So they. They just reused old footage, or did they show, like, things that they never really released?

[Mike]

They showed stuff they never released. But if you were, like, a Jackass fan and, like, oh, that.

[Ryan]

You know the lore of it.

[Mike]

Yeah. Or like, you could find the clips are, like, out there online somewhere. It was just never, like, released on mtv or. I mean, maybe there was some stuff you had never seen, but I'm a big Jackass fan, and there was nothing that popped up where I'm like, that was old, that I'm like, wow, I never knew that happened. Like, it's all you would have heard him talk about in a podcast or you've seen the clips or whatever. But it was cool. I kind of just going through memory lane, if you will. I mean, because. What is it, 20something crazy? Well, I think it's. They're very, very, very late 90s, actually. I think when it started. So 99 would be, what, 27 years ago?

[Ryan]

So you think they're done? Yeah, that chapter's close.

[Mike]

They really did looks closed well, especially because they really didn't do a lot of new stunts. Like Stevo Knoxville. Those guys were, like, not out there there getting fresh footage, hurting themselves. Like, you could tell that ship has kind of sailed, which is understandable. Yeah, they've had a hell of a ride.

[Ryan]

What did Stevo just do? Oh, I just watched Stevo, for a David do bit, put a fishing hook through his. His cheek. You guys see that?

[Mike]

That was like an OG bit in Jackass, too.

[Ryan]

He just ran it back. Yeah, dude. What was it again?

[Mike]

What was crazy? I guess not to spoil it in the movie, but they originally, they had, like, a professional piercing guy come out in the boat with them, and they pierced him with the fish hook, and he jumped in the lake, and they filmed this shark bit. And then a day or two later, Chain's like, yes. Footage wasn't that great. You think you're cool if, like, you just. Just run it. Forget the piercing guy. It was just kind of weird having him there. Would be way better if we just do it. So they actually drive, like, four miles back out in the ocean and just fully run it. Back.

[Ryan]

Oh, really?

[Ben]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike]

So, I mean, he's done it a bunch of times now. If you say he did it again, he's just shoving fish hooks through his.

[Ryan]

Yeah, because he put the fish hook through his cheek and then he jumped in with the sharks, and the sharks

[Ben]

was the crazier part in my opinion. Fish hook through the cheek, you know, he got past that.

[Ryan]

But like, the sharks, dude, how does that heal?

[Ben]

There's a lot of cells in your. In your mouth.

[Ryan]

It just grows back in.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I was watching Keller's video. What the hell can Timmy do? He can put it.

[Ryan]

Timmy.

[Ken]

No.

[Ben]

So we haven't. Was he actually putting it through?

[Mike]

No, it's just blowed out for some reason.

[Ben]

Okay. So piercing.

[Mike]

Did he have a good reason for why it's like that?

[Ryan]

I can't remember.

[Ben]

Okay. His is just different. It's not a trick that everybody can do.

[Mike]

And. And it was low.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Like, what can he.

[Ben]

What can he do?

[Ryan]

Well, he was like, dude, I can. I can put like a toothpick in my. My nose. And I was like, well, how big's the hole? And he's like, oh, I mean, it's pretty big. And I was like, what else do you think you can put in there? I was like, you think you can put like a screwdriver in there? And he was like, I could try. So I got a screwdriver, and he put the screwdriver through. Through his nose.

[Ben]

So he basically has. He has like a septum piercing. Hole. Hole. Not from a septum piercing.

[Ryan]

No.

[Ben]

But it just so happens to be much larger than your typical septum piercing.

[Mike]

I couldn't believe it.

[Ken]

I was watching.

[Mike]

I couldn't either.

[Ken]

I've been hanging out with Timmy all weekend, and now he's sticking screwdrivers.

[Ben]

I think they said it in Keller's video, and whoever said it was like, that is the craziest thing you can do. And I thought it was like, he. He's a funny guy. You can do all kinds of stuff. But yeah, for him to just jam a mid sized screwdriver through his nose and just chill.

[Ryan]

Still was pretty surprised by that.

[Ken]

Yeah, it's hard to be surprised with Timmy because that guy keeps you on your toes.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Should we rip that grip tester, Ryan?

[Ken]

Oh, yeah, I kind of want to rip it with CJ because I feel like he's gonna be like a crap.

[Ben]

Well, I guess we'll test our grip strength in the next podcast.

[Ken]

Yeah, actually, Jack and I have a few games we've been working on that we. That we are ready to set up.

[Ben]

I love it.

[Ken]

I kind of want to run back the IQ test test, but I don't want to, like, I couldn't want to possibly skew with the results of Evan being the smartest. So funny.

[Ben]

I think we should. I want again, I want. I want to do, like the whole team. I don't, you know, like the wrenches. Yeah, yeah. Pton J. Yeah.

[Mike]

Dalton see Peyton having some hidden knowledge.

[Ben]

Yeah. So I would love to do the whole team and then we can kind of really see what's up.

[Ken]

Run it through. I. I wonder if there's any other challenges that like, you guys watching have seen scene that you want to see us do. Because I'm down. Not jackass challenges, but like, yeah.

[Ben]

100 meter dash.

[Ken]

Oh, yeah. We just do like a fitness grand pacer test out here every week.

[Mike]

Perhaps a case race.

[Evan]

Maybe like a blood test.

[Ken]

What do you want to test in the blood?

[Evan]

I don't know. CJ has always mentioned, like, he wants to see, like, who's got the highest testosterone.

[Ben]

No, he does. CJ's mentioned that about 9, 000 times, so we should just do it.

[Ken]

He's very confident in himself winning, I believe.

[Ryan]

Believe.

[Ben]

Yes, exactly. He's like, we got to get our sperm tested and our blood test and see how high our testosterone.

[Ryan]

You can do a sperm. Sperm race. Have you guys seen that?

[Mike]

Yeah, I did.

[Ken]

I heard it was faked. The one that was streamed. Yeah, it was fake.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised by that. Like, how?

[Ken]

I don't know. I don't know how that works.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

How does that work?

[Ken]

I saw that Togi just posted a video and the lady was like, your sperm is zero. Like, he's like, fully infertile,

[Ben]

disheartening.

[Ken]

It goes to him and his rolls. Roy, he goes, bro, that's just like, perfect because now I can't have a kid that God doesn't want me to have a little gremlin running around. So that's perfect to a T. And I'm like, that's a nice positive look.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

On that.

[Ryan]

I think that might be the side effect of, like, years of steroids.

[Evan]

All the drugs.

[Ryan]

Yeah, usually what they're. What they're saying could be a side effect.

[Ben]

Dude, did you see when he set up a restaurant in Bradley Martin's channel Gym, bro. It just reminded me of something we would do and then like it if we would, like if Ken had a gym and we set up a restaurant in there and then Ken went in there and then told everyone in there he's just like free gym memberships if you knock down these walls. It was so funny.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't think that was real, but yeah, it was funny. It was a funny idea.

[Ben]

Our seed.

[Ryan]

Yeah. No, no, no. Like, no, no.

[Ben]

I, I still use that term. Whenever something's not real, I'm just like, Damn, I got RC'd again.

[Mike]

I just had an RC clip pop up on my.

[Ben]

Evan loves showing me and I just

[Mike]

like he just kind of glares at me.

[Ben]

I'll never live that one down.

[Ken]

You got to question everything between AI and RC's man.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

I was talking to Spiny last night and he is back in his homeland, big fishing. And yeah, he went to like British Columbia and he is fishing for like halit and salmon in. But he was catching crab last night.

[Ken]

I know. That looks so sick.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that looks sweet.

[Mike]

Sounds itchy to me.

[Ken]

No, not the superior type of crabs. The British Columbia type.

[Ben]

Yeah, dude, he was on like that was a crazy boat. Like full blown gear. Camping out on like an island.

[Ryan]

I think we gotta go crab fishing in the deep sea.

[Ben]

Let's try salmon fishing in Michigan for first.

[Evan]

Well like fishing for grab. Isn't it just like pulling up pots or like is it like tuna fishing

[Mike]

Reaction cigarettes Y wear rain suits, always be wet.

[Ben]

Yep.

[Ken]

And have Mike row narrate it.

[Ryan]

Call him up. He narrates a Seabo video that actually be lit.

[Ken]

I love micro. Yeah, I'm a big micro fan.

[Ben]

He makes America go around.

[Ryan]

He's. Yeah, he's a true American.

[Ken]

You ever heard him tell the story about. He was in tv. Tv. He was like on qvc. He was like an overnight salesman. And I believe it was his grandma never really thought that he worked a real job and she was disappointed in him for never having this real job. You know, everything he did was kind of all on TV and whatever. And so when Dirty jobs became a thing, his grandma would watch and watch him do all of these hard, hard things, even though he was doing all of it. But really his job was to host the TV show. It wasn't that he was hosting the show. It was the most successful show on television at that time. It was that he was doing all of these dirty jobs and actually working hard for once. He said, he said he was like, yeah, my, my grandma said she was proud of me for being able to hard work, for being a hard worker. Not because of working grueling hours building a TV show, being highly successful. All that. But because of like scooping pig and crawling through sewers and stuff like that.

[Ben]

It's a great show. That was the epitome of a good idea for a show.

[Ryan]

Y.

[Ken]

It's on our. It's on our board. Should we should. Do I even say it? Do I say it and then someone else will do it and then.

[Ryan]

No, I think I, I think it's been done. But yeah, people have done it. But like, yeah, we've had this concept for a long time, long time that we go and work. Work hard jobs or Ken goes and works hard jobs is really.

[Ben]

I think we draw and each of us gets a hard job and you go film a segment out of it.

[Ryan]

But if, if anyone listening right now is like, oh, this I've got a dirty job. I've got a dirty job for you. Hit us up, let us know.

[Ben]

Preferably in the tri state area, but we'll travel.

[Ken]

Yeah, and really, really crazy ones would be great. Like yeah, we could shovel cattle, but

[Mike]

you know, gotta find the guy that changed the light bulb on the top of the. Of the.

[Ben]

I know, I thought that too. Like that one's not necessarily dirty, but that's an extremely hard job.

[Mike]

See, when we went to the racetrack down south the other day, they were working by helicopter.

[Ken]

By helicopter. The guy's hanging from a helicopter.

[Ben]

Working on a tower.

[Ken]

Telephone pole. Hanging.

[Mike]

New line. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Wow, that's pretty cool. That's a lot of trust in your pilot.

[Evan]

It's also right next door, like feet away from a active high voltage trans store.

[Mike]

Actually within, within reach.

[Ken]

In fact, you're actually touching it. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Holy crap, that'd be insane. Yeah, so hit us up, let us know or. Well actually we're going to link Jack's email.

[Ken]

Oh, we can do that.

[Ben]

In me up for please.

[Ryan]

Oh, don't say that, Jack.

[Mike]

Oh no.

[Ryan]

What are some of the signups that you've been getting?

[Ben]

I got a gay newsletter last time.

[Ryan]

Well, hold on now, is there.

[Ben]

It was not from me. Okay, pornhub. Just recently I got a verification email on. So please stop signing me up for stuff. But if you want to actually email, shoot me an email. I look at them all and this

[Mike]

definitely isn't going to encourage anybody.

[Ben]

Yeah, maybe, maybe we don't put that in.

[Ken]

We used to sign my, my buddy Blake up for farmers only all the time.

[Ben]

Oh my gosh.

[Ken]

It used to piss him off when we all got school emails. Bro, when you take your buddy's school email and start setting them up for like farmers only and farmer Wants a wife.

[Ryan]

That's pretty funny.

[Ken]

That's just good prank. Now that like, I feel like prank calling really a thing. So just taking people's email and signing them up for like at like a.

[Ben]

A festival. You just put a phone number in the porta potty and say like, call me. Yeah. Cuz that's a class.

[Ryan]

That is a classic.

[Ken]

That's og.

[Ryan]

I think Kens are. Ken was always like, I don't know, people getting my phone number. But we probably used to do that.

[Evan]

Apparently mine's in like a bar in Michigan or something. I just got a phone call about it last week.

[Ryan]

Is it. Is it c. Is it the classic Dumb and Dumber?

[Evan]

No, no, it's something. But we.

[Ken]

It was probably us.

[Ben]

Probably, yeah.

[Ken]

Do you remember which town in Michigan it was?

[Ryan]

Probably? Houghton.

[Evan]

No, no, the dude was blowing up my phone so I just blocked him.

[Ryan]

You weren't like, where'd you get this?

[Evan]

Yeah, and then he said like some bar in Michigan, Houghton. I don't remember what it was.

[Ryan]

It wasn't the last.

[Evan]

He called it out as a like specific bar and it was like in Michigan or something. And I was like, I'm just gonna.

[Ryan]

Right, so that's what I'm wondering. Remember what specific bar it was?

[Ken]

I don't know.

[Evan]

Remember.

[Ken]

Did you Google it?

[Evan]

No. No, I didn't.

[Ryan]

Didn't have service.

[Evan]

He was blowing up my phone. So I like, you know, you click on the button, then he blows it. You deny the call. Like it took me like three minutes to get to the screen or I could like block his number.

[Mike]

Yeah, it would have been hard to just airplane mode and then, well, just keeps popping up.

[Ken]

Did you try deleting your eim?

[Evan]

I did.
