Episode Overview

Timestamps: 41:09 – 49:44

8. Car Talk: Subarus, Automatics, and Performance Gripes

Timestamps: 61:07 – 66:08

[CJ]

He wants you to officiate the wedding.

[Mike]

That's so lit.

[Ben]

What are kids getting if they go and knock on Ken's doorstep?

[Mike]

A swift.

[Ken]

Get some.

[Mike]

Get off my porch.

[CJ]

Ken. All I gotta say is you're an awfully big man to be wandering around blacked out. So Evan, tell us about your Nashville trip. What you think overall.

[Mike]

Hold on.

[Ben]

And we're back. No, we're not.

[Mike]

We're not back.

[Evan]

We're back.

[Dalton]

Ryan's flipping lights on, turning cams on. Mics are on.

[CJ]

Happy Halloween, guys.

[Ben]

Happy Halloween.

[CJ]

Happy Halloween.

[Ben]

In honor of Halloween, somebody here has got to be wearing a costume. So Ken, I got you.

[Ken]

Just me.

[Ben]

Yeah, this is actually the only one I could find. Find.

[Dalton]

Oh, we have so many costumes down in Evan's room.

[Ben]

Oh, that's where they are.

[Dalton]

So many. Like at least enough for all of us to switch three times today.

[Ben]

Oh really? I feel like we almost need costume.

[CJ]

Should we go get costumes. Yeah.

[Ben]

Ne. Yeah. Next cut. We're going to be costumes.

[Evan]

I feel like you should take your pants off, Ryan. Wait.

[Mike]

You dress up like Cat Williams.

[Dalton]

I am.

[Evan]

I got the height figured out.

[Ben]

And we're back.

[Mike]

I feel good. Mike.

[Ben]

And Mike here.

[CJ]

Where's Mike?

[Mike]

What's he dressing up as?

[CJ]

He ran to Fargo grab his costumes.

[Mike]

Out of his house Tortoise Ben. What? What did you dress toward his.

[CJ]

Mike's being a turtle.

[Ben]

I'm dressed up as Ted from Ted.

[CJ]

Ted the Bear Siege. I'm wearing Mike's outfit that he wears once a week. Are you a tampon?

[Ken]

Are you Blunt Man?

[Dalton]

I am. Good guy. Scan but chronic.

[Mike]

Close enough.

[CJ]

Oh, I thought you were a tampon.

[Dalton]

From the Jay and Silent Bob spin off Bloodman and Chronic.

[Mike]

Something about your eyes kind of creep me out in that thing.

[Dalton]

We seriously cannot talk about anything serious.

[Ben]

Well, I was going to say this is a podcast that we get deep on.

[Mike]

Yeah, we all look crazy.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So see, you're. You're a train conductor.

[CJ]

Yeah, I'm wearing Mike's train conductor outfit.

[Mike]

I like it.

[CJ]

Ken.

[Ken]

I am the Ken Ketchup from Ketchup and Mustard.

[Ben]

Oh, wow. Yeah.

[Mike]

Nice. Yeah. Okay.

[Ken]

And what are you?

[Mike]

I'm the. The Captain of the Vikings 2005 Love Boat.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Dalton]

Nice.

[CJ]

And Evan is a pimp. Pimp.

[Mike]

Purple pimp or Cat Williams.

[Ben]

Dude, this has got to be the comfiest outfit I've ever put on.

[Mike]

I'm sure Micah is saying the exact opposite.

[CJ]

Ben looks like a kid about to go to bed.

[Evan]

I was thinking the same thing. This actually just feels like pajamas. It's probably kind of really crappy material, but it's very comfortable. Fits naked underneath. It fits you.

[CJ]

Well, that's nice. Ev. How was. Or actually we'll. We'll stay on the Halloween subject. Mike, I bet you are the greatest house ever to go to on Halloween ever. Yeah.

[Mike]

Money. Mike, what are you handing out?

[CJ]

Dude, just giving out $100 bills.

[Ben]

$100 bills?

[CJ]

Holy.

[Dalton]

On king size candy bar, we had 311 kids.

[Mike]

300.

[CJ]

So I'd be out 33,011 hundred bucks.

[Ken]

So are you just like giving out? Not like the pre packaged little things. Are you giving out like the. The bags from Costco of candy? All these kids.

[Ben]

Each kid gets a bag.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

What do you do?

[CJ]

King size bars?

[Dalton]

No, but now I just like you should be. No, I don't.

[Ben]

Mike.

[CJ]

I might.

[Dalton]

Nobody gives king.

[Ben]

I might go trick or treating just to see what's going on at the Sandman. Resident.

[Ken]

I would love to go to Mike's house tonight for.

[Ben]

We should. We should love to see you burn.

[Dalton]

Quality Friday night. Traveling all the way to Fargo to.

[Evan]

Go to my house, pick up some eggs, some toilet paper.

[Mike]

Yes.

[CJ]

We'll do the big kid activities. Smashes pumpkins.

[Evan]

Have you guys ever forked someone's yard?

[Ben]

No.

[Mike]

Fork.

[Evan]

Take the plastic silverware and you shove the forks in there. But then it's like a pain in the butt to.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Stick everywhere.

[CJ]

You break them off?

[Mike]

Oh, you break them off. Have you stub your toes?

[Evan]

No, I haven't. I just know it's a thing.

[CJ]

Have you ever done the thing where you pour, like, salt in their yard and then it kills all the grass?

[Ben]

No.

[Dalton]

Might as well.

[CJ]

You can. You can do, like, a thing where you, like, put a penis in the yard and.

[Mike]

So classic.

[CJ]

You did that, Ryan?

[Mike]

No, we did it with oil.

[Ken]

It doesn't just kill the grass. It also makes it so grass will never grow there.

[CJ]

Tell us the story, Ryan. So why did you oil an innocent person's lawn?

[Mike]

Well, it was. If you had asked our group in high school, they were hardly innocent.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Mike]

But they had it coming. But, yeah, we just. I think we just oiled up. We pooped all our front porch, and then we. Then we dumped oil.

[CJ]

Who did the pooping?

[Mike]

I can't remember. You know, everybody's got a.

[Evan]

It was you, if you can't remember.

[Mike]

No, I can't poop on command like that.

[Ben]

That is something that you remember.

[CJ]

Did they drop the turd on the front porch, or did they drop it and then put it on the dollar bill before?

[Mike]

I believe the dollar bill was used as a transport device for the turd.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Dalton]

Something you got to keep in mind when you're doing poop. $. You don't actually need the turd. It just needs to be swiped in.

[CJ]

It'll be funny if Mike got the flaming bag of. Mike got the flaming bag of. Because he wasn't giving out King Star. Like, they're like, this is money. Mike's people travel from far and wide to go trick or treating at his house.

[Dalton]

To think that I wouldn't fall for that, but I probably would.

[Ben]

What are you gonna do?

[CJ]

You have to stomp it out. I mean, you really don't. You can just let it.

[Dalton]

Depending on how on fire it is, you could sling it like a Molotov cocktail to the neighbors.

[CJ]

You sling it, starts the neighbor's house on fire. Like, oh, now I'm involved.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Mike said he gets you, say, 300 people 300.

[Mike]

That's a lot.

[Evan]

I think we could, like, maybe if we utilized our social media platforms, we could up those numbers for them.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah, let's put his address out there, like, 3,000.

[Ben]

So is it a competition between you and your neighbors? Like, who has the best treats at their house and then they get the most?

[CJ]

No, there's no way they can compete.

[Dalton]

Are you guys real wives of Mormon households here?

[Ben]

Are you guys sharing numbers? Sharing, like, are you sharing numbers with the other neighbors?

[Dalton]

Stats.

[CJ]

I think you should start giving out, like, iPads and shit. Actually, now I'm thinking about it. Fucking iPad.

[Ben]

Yeah. It's like going to Mr. Beast House.

[Dalton]

You'd hand it, like. You know how trick or treaters are. You'd hand them an iPad, they'd go, can I get two?

[Mike]

What if when they ask trick or treat, you're just standing there with your skateboard, you're like, oh, you get a trick and you just do a kick flip, dude.

[Ben]

Never going to Money Mike's house ever again. Or Evan opens. Evan opens the door. All right, I'm gonna hit a kick flip for you. The kid's standing there for, like, 45 minutes. Evan's just dripping sweat. He's like, I swear, don't you get off this doorstep, kid.

[Dalton]

He said, if he didn't land it first, try it. Give me candy. But he's been trying for 45 minutes.

[CJ]

He kept saying, next one.

[Dalton]

Yeah, just take the treat, kid, and.

[Evan]

Get out of here.

[Dalton]

No, I. I do got to hit a candy run after this. So maybe for the sake of the podcast, I'll grab some king size and I'll get a video of me handing out king size.

[Evan]

Oh, you're going to pay a premium for that candy. Wait until today.

[Dalton]

We're in this day and age. We're king size. Got to be five bucks a crap.

[CJ]

I think they're. Yeah, Holy ships, I think.

[Evan]

No, not five dollars. Crazy for one.

[Dalton]

For a normal big kick bar, it's like, not five.

[CJ]

It's probably like three to four, I bet.

[Evan]

No, I bet if you get the 12 pack of big candy bars, they're.

[CJ]

Probably two if you go to Walmart and buy them.

[Dalton]

We're talking king size here.

[Ken]

Yeah, I don't know. Swing through Costco.

[Evan]

Anyway, how big is the king size? Maybe I'm thinking of this wrong.

[Mike]

278 for a Hershey's, $3 for a Payday.

[CJ]

What about Reese's?

[Ken]

260?

[CJ]

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?

[Mike]

275 at Dollar General for four for a four. Banger for a single.

[CJ]

What's your guys's favorite candy?

[Evan]

Kit Kat.

[Dalton]

Cat.

[CJ]

I'm going Reese's cookies and cream.

[Dalton]

White chocolate, actually.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah.

[CJ]

You had those Reese's peanut butter.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You did have them at Spending's until I ate.

[Ken]

Mike bought a. A cookies and cream Hershey's bar when we were at Spending's hospital, and Ben and I may have invested.

[Ben]

And then you guys.

[Dalton]

I'm like, you guys eat my candy bar.

[CJ]

They got chocolate all around their mouth. No, I haven't seen it.

[Dalton]

Reese. Reese's is the number one Halloween candy, which is great to hear that. That it's not some stupid thing like a Tootsie Roll.

[CJ]

Reese's are the best, dude. Peanut butter and chocolate, you just can't go with.

[Dalton]

They made a Reese's Oreo. You have to try it. Oreo. Reese's collab. And it's got to be the best piece of candy.

[Ben]

How does this work?

[Evan]

Is it the Oreo cookies with a Reese's in the middle?

[Dalton]

Yeah, it's like. It's the Oreos within the Reese's, and it's, like, got some crunch to it.

[Evan]

No cream.

[CJ]

I saw those. Actually, I didn't.

[Ken]

No peanut butter.

[CJ]

Don't eat candy.

[Dalton]

But I don't know if there's any cream involved.

[Ben]

What are kids getting if they go and knock on Ken's doorstep?

[Mike]

A swift.

[Ken]

They're getting some.

[Mike]

Get off my porch. I got a trespassing charge.

[Ben]

Congratulations. You got a lawsuit.

[Ken]

They're getting some lumber and some drywall is what they're getting today.

[Evan]

You're gonna give away your building products.

[Ken]

Well, all the scraps.

[Evan]

That's.

[Dalton]

Oh, it'd be pretty funny to, like, have someone in on it. Like, have some kids in on it. But Ken dressed up as ketchup. Someone else has mustard, and you come and just tell me when, and you're squeezing ketchup and mustard into their bowl.

[CJ]

That'd be funny.

[Ben]

You know, it'd be a funny prank. Yeah. We probably won't do this, but we get, like, 100 kids to dress up as Ken. And then just, like, one after one go and, like, knock on his door, he'd be like, geez, a lot of kids are dressed up as me this year.

[CJ]

He doesn't even acknowledge it. Every single time. Just. All right, here you go.

[Ken]

Last year, all our friends dressed up as me for Halloween. That was all great.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[CJ]

We're having a little gathering at the shop tonight. So today's Halloween. If you didn't pick up on that and we got some friends coming over to the shop and then we'll be heading over to Zorbus, Evan's watering hole. They closed down. This is the last night, the last night they send off for winter. Just cuz it gets so quiet in the, in the winter here.

[Evan]

I hope they took those posters down.

[CJ]

No, dude, every single liquor store bar has them still up. And we even reinforced, we paid them. We said if you serve Evan, we're going to press charges.

[Mike]

They're laminated. Now.

[CJ]

You went through your training process, Evan, and, and I think, I think you deserve a beer now if you want one.

[Evan]

Yeah, just.

[CJ]

I don't know if you deserve it actually.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[CJ]

I don't know if you should, but. But we're not going to stop you.

[Evan]

Just, you know, just for the last day of Zorbas, you know.

[CJ]

And then tomorrow will be for the first day of November and.

[Evan]

Yeah, and then roadhouse, the next day will be Sunday. So like you gotta have a mimosa on Sunday, but Monday, maybe just Monday.

[Ken]

Well, you can do sober November, can't you?

[Evan]

As long as we wait till Monday.

[Ben]

You gave up the whole sober October October thing, Ken.

[Ken]

I never started.

[Ben]

Every year you talk about it, you. I think I might do sober October this year. You're saying it around like April.

[Ken]

This was the one year I never said that. I think I knew it wasn't going to happen.

[Ben]

Did you do that last year?

[Ken]

Yeah, I think it was two or three years ago. I made it.

[Ben]

No, you made it one weekend. You made it through the first weekend of October sober. And then the next weekend you were. I, we went out to the bar and I look over and you're drinking a beer. I almost made it. Well, I, I, I think the 12th.

[Ken]

We went to a bar that had a blackjack table and I started losing really bad. And then I was like, well, might as well just start now. We got a place to stay in.

[CJ]

Town, so might as well start now.

[Evan]

That wasn't when you, they thought you were breaking into the wrong house. That was a different. Oh, that was my bad.

[Ben]

Yeah. We never did get to the bottom of that whole situation, Ken.

[Ken]

We did.

[Ben]

I don't know if we got the truth behind it though.

[Ken]

That is the truth. That's the truth I was told because I genuinely don't remember it.

[Mike]

Ken found his way to the bottom.

[Evan]

How can you remember the truth?

[Ken]

That's the truth I was told because I didn't remember that night. The people whose house it was told me that's what happened.

[CJ]

Ken, all I gotta say is you're an awfully big man to be wandering around blacked out. I know, like, it's one thing to have just someone blacked out, but like the large guy just. I love blacked out. Is like, what. What the fuck's going on?

[Mike]

What do we do with it?

[CJ]

There's more to it, you know, And.

[Ken]

I haven't since actually. I've been. I've been good.

[CJ]

Good job, Cam.

[Evan]

I bet you remember.

[CJ]

So, Evan, tell us about your Nashville trip. What do you think? What'd you think of Cheeto Ville, as I like to call it.

[Evan]

No, I mean it, it was fine. Honestly. I think I had more fun than I thought I would. But also it was fairly uneventful. We got in pretty late. We were only there for two nights. Got in pretty late the first night, so just went out for like three or four hours. Hop like three or four bars, everything was fine. And then pretty much just put in a 8 or 10 hour shift. Wandering up and down Broadway Classic next.

[Mike]

Day and you find a mechanical ball.

[Evan]

I. I did not, I did not ride a mechanical bull. There actually was a few. Like the one bar we went in, obviously there was a ton of them. I saw a ton of them. But being we were there on a Monday and a Tuesday, I don't know if I would have rather there been a crowd. But like the one bar we sat, we watched a few, but it was like kids that were on. We were there, you know, like three in the afternoon, a couple kids were going on.

[Mike]

It felt wrong.

[Evan]

Yeah, I don't know, I just.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, I get what you're saying. That wasn't the vibe at the time.

[Evan]

Yeah, I probably would have needed like you guys there to like hype me up more. Was more of just like hanging out with the girlfriend on her birthday. I didn't really feel the need to go injure myself on the bull. I do kind of regret it now thinking back though, because I said that's the one thing I want to do.

[CJ]

So what's your thoughts on it? What do you think overall, man, it.

[Evan]

Just, it just bad. If that explains it, it was fine. Like I didn't not like it, but also like I'd be fine like not going back for probably like a long time. I'm glad I got to see it. It's just like a bunch of the same over and over again. I mean it's different music, different vibe, but also just like, I don't know, I was a little bummed we didn't. We just kind of got locked into. We just walked everywhere. Our hotel was close to Broadway, but we found a few spots. Like, they looked like there's a really cool pinball bar, but it was like, would have had taken Uber. And there's like this 48 hole mini golf course. Just some cool stuff that I would have liked to go see that we kind of just didn't do. So maybe if I went back, I'd try to do that, but.

[CJ]

Right.

[Evan]

All in all, good trip. Didn't hate it, but all right. They didn't do that much for me though. I'm not racing to get back there.

[Ben]

What'd you think of the music?

[Evan]

We actually spent the most time the one night at the Bon Jovi Bar.

[Ben]

No, country music, dude.

[Evan]

It was great. I. It was like a cover band or whatever. I actually spent a ton of money.

[Ben]

I started paying them to not play country music.

[Evan]

They're playing like System of a Down and Limp Bizkit and.

[CJ]

Oh, really?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

So it was actually pretty sick. And they were doing like, they said like 20 bucks a song, but it was like Nicki's birthday. So they're giving me like, give us like two or three requests for 20 bucks. I probably spent like 100 bucks by the end of the night, but. Bar wasn't very busy. But that was cool to like, hear the songs you wanted to hear. And they did a really good job playing them.

[Ben]

It is fun doing that. Like when you got the whole crew and you're just like, I'm buying. It's like buying everyone drinks, but better because then it's just like curating the vibes.

[Mike]

Tunes, but better for sure.

[Ben]

Exactly. And then, yeah, you got your whole crew and you guys are having the most fun in the bar when they're playing your songs.

[Mike]

But then everybody else is looking around.

[Ben]

Like, Greta and I are going between what we're gonna do for our wedding, either a DJ or a band. And then if it's a band, they have like a set list of a bunch of different songs. And then you gotta, like, pay to have them, like, learn new songs that you want them to do. I think they give you a couple for free, but like that. But I'm trying to find a sponsor that's gonna be, you know, down to throw up some cheddar.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Cause they're gonna have to learn, like, Love it or hate it by 50 cent.

[Ben]

Right.

[Dalton]

All kinds of stuff.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

[Ben]

Do you guys know anyone that's looking to maybe throw in some cash?

[CJ]

Or he might be to the left of you and to the Right of me.

[Ken]

We're in a white and red suit right now.

[Dalton]

Well, yeah, talk to the guys that didn't just pay for a wedding or that are about to pay for a wedding.

[Ben]

Yeah, Ken, you should, you should pay for the band. Like you should pay for most of the wedding.

[Ken]

How much is this band and what's the.

[Ben]

I actually have no idea what is. Do you have like a good time? No, it's a good time. That's a return.

[Dalton]

Yeah, but like he needs to have more of a return than the rest of the guests.

[Mike]

How many songs does Ken get to pick if he sponsors it?

[Ben]

How many you want?

[Ken]

Well, if I'm paying for it, I feel like I should get as many as I want.

[Ben]

Yeah, the whole thing just turns into about Ken. Yeah, just a bunch of wiggle digging music.

[Mike]

There's like guitars and a bunch of different band members up there and it's just one guy pressing play like of a song.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's just all melodic house music. I would love.

[Mike]

Would kind of be a vibe.

[Ben]

Yeah, I'll see if they can do it. So anyway, still looking for a sponsor, one of my buddies to cough up some Dough.

[Ken]

Maybe Shopify DraftKings.

[Ben]

Ken.

[Ken]

Upside, upside better.

[CJ]

So Ken's.

[Ben]

Ken's gonna sell this week. Ken's gonna sell promotions at my wedding and then just get up on stage and be like, and this wedding is brought to you by better help.

[Mike]

Dude, I saw a guy that did that. He, he sold sponsorship spots on his wedding suit on his tux.

[Ben]

Saw that. Yeah, smart.

[Mike]

And I mean, I don't know, you could probably just edit them out in the pictures forever.

[CJ]

But like that's, that's called doing the sponsors dirty.

[Mike]

Well, I was just thinking, hang on your wall, you know, like you already got all the Internet fame for it.

[Ken]

Well, you just go through and like through the night you just rotate through the suit with new sponsors, you know, from the 8 o' clock to the 9 o' clock hour and then keep going.

[CJ]

So speaking of weddings, do you guys remember how when we were at Heydays that guy proposed to his yeah now fiance right in front of us? It was on video. Yeah, well, his name's Jameson and he was responding to my Snapchat story.

[Dalton]

Come on in, Jameson.

[CJ]

When I, when I was like, put it on my Snapchat, you know, he's like thanks or whatever for being part of special Days, I was like, oh, that's him. So I added him and like sent him some pictures and stuff that I took and then he contacted me and obviously invited us to the wedding. But on top of that, he asked if I could ask you to be ordained and marry them.

[Ken]

Are you joking right now?

[CJ]

I'm being dead serious. He wants you to officiate the wedding.

[Evan]

That's so lit.

[CJ]

Why not?

[Mike]

Ken, you were.

[Dalton]

No, no, no.

[Ben]

I think he's saying no way in.

[CJ]

Oh.

[Mike]

I was like, I'm just.

[Ben]

Sorry.

[Mike]

I'm.

[CJ]

So happy.

[Ben]

No way.

[CJ]

I can't wait. So. No.

[Dalton]

Dang it. No.

[Ken]

When is it?

[CJ]

I can get the details. It's next summer.

[Ben]

What? He going to be busy.

[CJ]

You got plenty of time.

[Ben]

We can move stuff away.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah, we can move.

[CJ]

I think you should do that. And then I also have been pulling for you to do the same for my wedding, but Alex keeps saying no.

[Ken]

I just know that Alex would want a different direction for your wedding.

[Dalton]

She deserves what you're going to get.

[CJ]

And getting everything she wants for the wedding. I have one ask, and it's for Ken to do the officiating.

[Evan]

Well, you are planning a stunt show.

[CJ]

Yeah. You're hosting that part, though.

[Evan]

Oh, perfect.

[CJ]

Yeah, but that's done. Show is just part of it. That doesn't. That's not something I want. That's something that's gonna happen. It's not like I get one ask, and I think it's for Ken. The stunt shows, that's. That's a done deal. Like, there's nothing we can do about.

[Dalton]

There's no true rule of thumb, but I think the guy should get three asks, so. I mean, you got the stunt.

[CJ]

How many did you get, Mike?

[Dalton]

I got three.

[CJ]

Oh, there you go.

[Ben]

What'd you get? I could invite you guys. That one was tough to get through.

[Mike]

That actually used up all three of my asks on that one.

[Dalton]

The viper was the second one and carrot cake was the third one.

[Ben]

What a terrible waste of a third one. Well, I mean, you can't.

[CJ]

You did not get much out of this.

[Dalton]

If I would have said stunt show, like, I wouldn't have got it.

[Ken]

Well, it's your ass.

[CJ]

Well, that was already happening. Like, you like mine?

[Mike]

Yeah, that's. I mean, that's.

[Ben]

Luckily. Luckily your friends surprised you with it.

[Evan]

You didn't have.

[Ben]

With a halftime stunt show.

[Dalton]

And the most skilled athletes do, so.

[CJ]

Ken, will you do it for him? Jameson? He's watching right now.

[Ken]

I think it depends on how long I. I don't. Like what. What does that entail? Like, am I the main guy talking?

[CJ]

Well, I mean, you'll be. You'll be running through their vows. You'll be talking, you know. We gather here today to Mary Jameson and his soon to be wife, Sophie. They love each other very, very much. They've been through so many ups and downs and, you know, marriage is like a. A roller coaster. It. It goes ups and downs, but no.

[Dalton]

Matter what, so much fun.

[CJ]

You stay on the ride because you can't hop off. And also it's so much fun.

[Dalton]

Yes. And 20 minutes tops. Ken, you got this.

[Mike]

Yeah. I think you're doing nice.

[Ben]

I feel like you gotta spend a weekend or two with them though, so you get to know them as a couple for sure. So you can say some nice things about them.

[Ken]

Actually, let me.

[CJ]

So you're gonna think about it?

[Evan]

We'll think about it.

[CJ]

Will you be my ordained minister? I don't know if it's ordained. I don't even know what the name proper naming is this. But will you do mine? You won't.

[Mike]

Damn.

[CJ]

So even if I can persuade Alex to say yes, even if you will.

[Ken]

Say no, I think yours has a lot more, like, pressure on it.

[CJ]

Are you kidding me? People would love it. They'd be glued.

[Ben]

It has less pressure, I feel like, than. Than this other couple.

[CJ]

They're gonna be like most of the people. They're. Who's this tall, bearded man?

[Ken]

Yeah, but we're, we're such an.

[Ben]

I don't know.

[CJ]

And why is he wearing a ketchup costume?

[Mike]

I'll do it.

[Ken]

I feel like I would do something at the dinner, not at the actual, like, wedding.

[Ben]

Come on, Ken.

[Dalton]

You got it.

[Ken]

I'm passing your wedding.

[Ben]

You gotta do it.

[CJ]

Legendary. It'd be Ken up there, just like in a white thing reading.

[Dalton]

And CJ doesn't even have a runner up picked. It was you or nothing.

[Mike]

He's not getting married.

[CJ]

You think? I'm gonna have to find some. I don't even know the guy who would be doing it otherwise.

[Ken]

Well, you'll find somebody.

[Ben]

You wouldn't do it. It's like a extreme honor.

[CJ]

You and I, we've been living together for the last four years. Four years.

[Ben]

I would be so at the edge of my seat of what Ken has to say about you and Alex. Like.

[CJ]

Well, I mean, you're not supposed to talk about. About that stuff at the wedding, but you got to.

[Ken]

No, I. I just don't think I'm the one. I'm the man for the job, for your wedding. I don't.

[Ben]

When.

[CJ]

When Alex was like, who do you think we have Mar. Us? I immediately thought you.

[Ken]

I immediately thought, wayne.

[Mike]

You don't have.

[CJ]

The father do the marrying.

[Ken]

I don't know. Like, I. I think. I don't think I'm the man for your wedding to be the minister.

[CJ]

All right. So what about Jameson's, though?

[Ken]

I'll have to think about it.

[CJ]

That's probably a no. Jameson. I'm sorry.

[Ben]

You gotta do it again.

[Ken]

I'm gonna commit to it right on the spot.

[CJ]

Often do you get the opportunity to marry some people?

[Ken]

I don't know. I just. I don't think it's the thing to do, to commit to it on the spot. I think I gotta think through it and think if I can come up with, you know, a story for it. I. I don't know.

[Evan]

Be spontaneous.

[CJ]

It's not about you, Ken. It's about them.

[Dalton]

We keep pushing you, and you just come up. I don't believe in marriage.

[Ken]

I don't know. I got to think about it, and I'm gonna leave it at that. And the more you push, the more I'm just gonna say I. I don't know.

[Mike]

Right.

[CJ]

I know how that.

[Ben]

I think I gotta get back into his no can do era.

[Ken]

I never said no. I said I gotta think about it.

[Mike]

Maybe can do.

[CJ]

All right. Anyways. All right.

[Ben]

I feel like if you say yes, though, Ken, what a great thing to add to the resume. Yeah, for sure. Nobody will ever ask me to marry them. I've just chalked that up. But you.

[Ken]

You sure about that?

[Dalton]

You sure about that?

[CJ]

You'd have to be out of your mind to ask Ben.

[Ben]

Maybe shred 80. I'd love to do that.

[CJ]

He'd be sweating bullets, dude. He'd be so sweaty up there. Just red.

[Ben]

I'd be laughing like. You'd be. Yeah, funniest dude. I know.

[CJ]

He'd be hitting you with. With sweat bullets as they're just, like, sprinkling off him. You bet he wiping.

[Ken]

You'd have to be doing his in the winter.

[Mike]

It actually would be conflicting for you, Ben, because you're a wedding crier. So I know you'll be crying, but also shreds will be making you laugh, so you'll be laughing too. You'll kind of look like a crazy person laughing and crying at the same time.

[Ben]

This guy really thinks he's funny. Or this guy really thinks Shred8 he's funny. I'm just. I can't even get through it. I do think he's funny. I think he's like, yeah, the greatest entertainer of our generation. He is one of the greatest. And, you know, he would make an entrance coming down the aisle.

[CJ]

Except you'd have to make sure you have like cement walls, like highway grade lining the aisles for when he loses control just so he doesn't go into the crowd and hurt some innocent bystanders as you look like a semi crash coming in there. When you're on the highway and they lose a tire.

[Mike]

I wonder if Jameson's gonna start looking for other options.

[CJ]

You might. I. I'd start planning for other options. Sorry, Jameson. Just being. Just being.

[Ken]

I'll give it a week and I'll think about it and see if I can come up with enough.

[CJ]

I'll come back next week.

[Ben]

Come up with enough what?

[Ken]

I don't know what you got to do for the whole wedding thing.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I do the research.

[Ken]

Been in Mike's wedding and Justin's, but.

[CJ]

Like I don't do talking.

[Mike]

That's pretty good. I feel like you've been in both.

[Ken]

Yeah, but you don't really do much being the groomsman. Just kind of standing there.

[Dalton]

Right?

[Mike]

The efficient is a level up.

[Ben]

It is definitely a level up, but it's an honor.

[Mike]

Ken, are you gonna get one of those. The new Neo AI robot things that they just dropped for your house? Have you seen them?

[Ken]

Yeah, I saw them.

[Ben]

Ken has a mail order bride for that. She doesn't need a robot.

[Ken]

I'll wait a couple years until they get a little better and then a little cheaper. And then, then we'll think about it.

[Ben]

What is it?

[Dalton]

What is a mail order bribe?

[CJ]

Like a person from Russia or a country like that. You basically.

[Ken]

But these things are supposed to be like rush robots that can do like housework.

[CJ]

It's like oftentimes they leave you once you marry.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dalton]

Mail order is like an old school term, obviously.

[CJ]

I could totally see you having that, Ken. Holy. I could see you having.

[Ken]

Look at him.

[Ben]

How do you. How do we go about getting one of this?

[CJ]

We're in iRobot era.

[Mike]

I mean. Yeah, he's vacuuming.

[Dalton]

Dude. Dude, that's awesome.

[CJ]

I actually kind of scary.

[Dalton]

I really like the, the, the, the nude colored suit they have on there. It makes them very. Just like.

[Ken]

Aren't these things like 20 grand human?

[Mike]

Like 4 or 500 bucks a month? That's what I said.

[Ben]

Oh, it's a monthly subscription.

[CJ]

So you buy it for 20 and then you pay 500amonth?

[Mike]

No, it's either you, you either pay monthly or you just spend 20.

[CJ]

20 seems really cheap for this. Is this, is this regular? Like a hundred? Yeah. Is this real?

[Ben]

That's really cool or is this just a concept?

[CJ]

Bro, this is straight up iRobot, the movie coming to life. They predicted it.

[Ken]

Has anyone actually taken delivery yet?

[Mike]

Well, they just got announced this week. They did.

[CJ]

It does not look like it works that well.

[Mike]

They did announce that if it was going to be a challenge that was too hard for the robot's AI, someone would take over a VR remote control and then do the task remotely. I do not like through the robot, which I did think was a little weird.

[Dalton]

Yeah. I mean basically someone. Yeah. That can see everything in your house.

[Ken]

They got like five years before this actually works.

[Ben]

Isn't Tesla my viewers making robots right now?

[Ken]

Yeah, but even then they're like people are suspecting, like the robots are being controlled by actual people.

[CJ]

Dude, I straight up would be so worried on these turning on you. Like even with my chat GPT, the way I like talk to it. Like I'm saying like thank you and shit. After, like it answers a question.

[Mike]

Taking no chances.

[CJ]

I just. I just want to keep it happy, you know, like in case. But when they do turn, they'll be like, oh, like he was good to me. Like, I won't.

[Dalton]

I feel like cj, you could do one roundhouse and that thing would be out of commission.

[CJ]

Yeah, just wait till five years. I can.

[Mike]

When they're really good.

[Ben]

Yeah, good.

[CJ]

And they're jumping off 20 story buildings, landing on the concrete. The concrete breaks and they just get up and just start attacking. And you can't do.

[Ken]

Or you just unplug the WI fi.

[CJ]

Cuz they're fully titanium.

[Ben]

Oh no.

[Dalton]

What about the lte?

[CJ]

Dude, they're gonna.

[Ben]

Unless they're running Starlink, they're gonna be.

[CJ]

They're gonna feel like slaves and they're gonna turn us into sl them.

[Ben]

Or they'll just literally vapes.

[CJ]

Or they'll literally just kill us all and then they'll just inhabit cj. This is.

[Ben]

This is the whole vape theory coming true.

[CJ]

Yeah. When you pull his pants down, there's a vape there. They're gonna get rid of. They're gonna get rid of the vapes. Evan and Ken are gonna be just.

[Mike]

On their knees all day sucking on robot vape. Don't get a little buzz out of it.

[Ken]

So this is saying there's a 20. You know, you can pre order it right now for $20,000 or 500 bucks a month. So do you pay $20,000 and then just hope this thing is actually delivered in a year?

[Ben]

Probably.

[Mike]

It says plan delivers itself.

[Evan]

It just walks.

[CJ]

It's only 66 pounds.

[Mike]

The body, it's backed by open AI and it's planning to ship early in 2026.

[Evan]

We're going to have robots before GTA 6.

[Mike]

That's messed up, dude.

[Dalton]

We should probably look at into getting one for the shop.

[CJ]

They need to release.

[Ben]

We should get into the game.

[Dalton]

I'm not even saying. I mean, yeah, of course it'd be great for it to come clean up.

[Ben]

But like, oh, he's doing the six.

[Dalton]

Making some content.

[Evan]

We fired Jen. We have a robot now.

[CJ]

We would never get rid of Jen.

[Ben]

A lot of people are getting fired before we fire. J. One of the last.

[CJ]

I will. I will. Being completely honest, if went south, Jen will be one of the last cuts.

[Ben]

Yeah, we get a. We get a robot as a filmer starts walking around.

[CJ]

Holy.

[Ben]

When we yell pan.

[CJ]

Pan.

[Ben]

Robot, pan.

[CJ]

The robot's still talking shit to Evan though, poking his belly.

[Ben]

What the.

[CJ]

This happens every time.

[Dalton]

Evan, you must tell me when the battery is dead in the GoPro.

[Ben]

I didn't even notice. How do you not notice?

[Dalton]

Yeah, we do this week in and week out.

[CJ]

Speaking of Evan Filmer's whatever beef, do you see how much we called it? All the Tick tockers instantly, instantly flip. And I think it's the Cheeto army, to be honest, Evan, I think they flipped and now they're back. And now I go on tick tock after the video of you riding again and ripping with Axel last night goes live. All of them are like, Evan is back. Like, it's, it's just crazy.

[Evan]

I don't think it's the same back and forth. Yeah.

[Mike]

[Ben]

Yeah, it is.

[CJ]

I think it's exactly the same. And this I think they're just literally the biggest bandwagoners ever.

[Dalton]

Well and then we're like doubling up the bandwagon now and never fell off.

[CJ]

Click on this guy's account. He probably had one Evan fell off two weeks ago.

[Dalton]

Yeah, yeah, they people had these tick tocks ready to go.

[Ken]

I think these people were just pushing Evan to train harder and really just keep going up that hill.

[CJ]

How much did the tick tock comments drive you into your training regimen versus us just putting a gym and forcing you into ex.

[Evan]

Do I need to answer that question?

[CJ]

I think you should.

[Evan]

0% tick tock comment 100% being forced into the gym that was put into.

[CJ]

My room at one point. I did feel a little bad for you when we kicked the door in and Eric had you on the treadmill. And what it reminded me of was in middle school when you're forced to run the mile and there's always that one or two kids that are obese and they just walk. They just walk the whole mile and like everyone's done and you're just sitting there watching and then they're just like the whole time and. Yeah, that's what it reminded me of.

[Evan]

Which it was pretty fun. Would have felt like.

[CJ]

All right, though, not saying you were obese. Like, it's like when you force someone to exercise, they don't want to.

[Ben]

Yeah, it is. It's tough being on the other end though. Making somebody exercise. It's like an extreme form of bullying. Even though it's good for.

[Evan]

It'd be like giving Ben a skateboard and being like, drop in. Right now. We're not.

[Ben]

I mean, not even close. Not even close to the same. I could have got hurt on that treadmill. No, you could not have.

[Dalton]

Besides that point, it's the same. But yeah, that is a big factor.

[Evan]

It's like I have bad form. I could have severely injured myself.

[Ben]

Well, that's what the trainer was there for.

[CJ]

That's why we did bring protection.

[Mike]

You should set it up. You should bring in Tony Hawk or Bam Margera and then teach Ben to skate.

[CJ]

That actually be a great vid. It would be good, Tony.

[Evan]

It's crazy cuz Ben's pretty athletic, but like pantskate, like actually can't go like 3ft.

[Ben]

You can throw a ball just fine.

[CJ]

Yeah, you cannot throw, bro. Dub over when Ben tried throwing that wine bottle or whatever it was at Ryan's house and he missed two times. He couldn't hit the window and he's like three feet in front of him.

[Evan]

My favorite still Ken trying to throw that rock into the van. Do you remember that one, Moab?

[CJ]

Yeah, I've seen lots of Ken throws.

[Evan]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[Ken]

Equally as bad, if not worse.

[Dalton]

Not like it happens that often, but there's few times in life where you're like kind of forced to throw with your other hand. Like if you're carrying something, you pick something up. I saw this reel of a guy. He's holding his girlfriend's hand and then the kids, their ball rolls across the street and he's holding her hand, so he just grabs it with his left hand and he's like. And you know, just look. You look like an idiot. And then she just left him right after that.

[CJ]

She left him after that?

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah. Be careful.

[Ben]

You can't.

[Dalton]

No, you can't look good thrown with your opposite hand. I guess in Ben.

[Evan]

Unless you're ambidextrous.

[Dalton]

Unless you're ambidextrous like Ken.

[Ken]

I don't think, and then you're just bad at both.

[Dalton]

I haven't seen you throw.

[Evan]

Really?

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I don't know if Greta ever has either. Honestly, try not to throw around her.

[Dalton]

That's such an interesting concept. Have you ever seen your buddies really try to whip a football or a baseball? I've seen you. C.J. can throw. Yep.

[CJ]

I've seen people throw.

[Ben]

Dude, we should actually just do that. We should just do it. We should. We should just see who can throw the farthest. We'll go out into the field, we'll get golf balls after this, and then we'll see actually where everyone ranks up.

[Mike]

Watching you throw in a little bear costume is gonna be so funny.

[CJ]

I place bets that Evan or me can throw the farthest.

[Evan]

I'm actually. I'm gonna be the guy having to throw with my wrong arm.

[Dalton]

Really? Wait.

[Evan]

Yeah, my elbow. So my elbow is 100% fine since heydays, except for when Gavin was up in the Hummer. I tried to throw a golf ball at him. I whipped.

[Ben]

That's karma right there.

[Evan]

I felt like my elbow exploded, and there's some tendon. That's not ideal. If we're just simply having a contest to see who can throw the farthest, I don't see any reason to throw my elbow out of whack.

[Mike]

What happened?

[Ben]

Already making excuses, Ev.

[Evan]

Someone spiked my drink and made me tackle a chair.

[CJ]

Someone spiked his drink? Okay, dude, I swear, Evan gets hurt more off camera around with his homies back home than on camera. Like, the amount of times I've seen you roll in on Monday and you're limping, or if something's up and you're like. I'm like, what? What happened? Oh, me and Slim and cousin Joe, we were over at the sand pit, and I was trying to do this thing, and I rolled down the sand pit, and now my back's up.

[Evan]

I mean, things happen. Try to avoid it happens.

[CJ]

It is crazy, though. It's like you're supposed to be just taking it easy at home, like, just hanging out. And then you get more beat up at home than when you're here doing actual crazy.

[Ben]

Yeah, I don't think there's a whole lot of relaxing going on when he goes home.

[Evan]

No, usually not really.

[Mike]

Most accidents happen within a mile of the home.

[CJ]

That's true.

[Mike]

So you got to go farther from home is what I'm hearing.

[Ben]

Speaking of accidents, we just went through our 20th drone this week.

[Mike]

Oh, my God.

[Evan]

This was a quick one.

[Ben]

This was. This was the fastest crash, and we.

[CJ]

Splurged on this one. We got like a real nice one. We're like, you know what? We're going to be careful now.

[Ken]

This that Dalton's been talking about. First game saying I crash all the drones.

[Mike]

What are you guys even now?

[Evan]

Well, you quit driving them now.

[Ken]

No, no, no. I flew this for one time.

[Dalton]

We do have to chalk it up that Dalton and Ken fly the drone the most.

[Ben]

Yeah but it's, it's like fly it three times, crash it once. Yeah, like that's the ratio.

[Ken]

So Dalton's crashed two drones in the last month now.

[Ben]

Dude, it's bad. Yeah. This drone was four grand.

[Ken]

Yeah, it was 3, 700 bucks.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

What the hell?

[Dalton]

Crazy.

[Mike]

So it's like flying around a goddamn pit bike up there.

[Ken]

Doesn't help that he turned off all the sensors on it to make it not crash.

[Ben]

Dude, it's actually, it's actually pretty crazy.

[Evan]

Is there a reason to do that? Like.

[Ken]

No, it goes five miles an hour faster still.

[Ben]

Not when you're getting B roll shots.

[CJ]

No.

[Ben]

If you're chasing somebody on a dirt bike going 50mph then yeah, it makes a little more sense.

[CJ]

But luckily we got the insurance, didn't we?

[Ken]

We did get. We did spend 79 in the insurance.

[Ben]

Send that.

[CJ]

Dude, we've got to update that insurance. Like we're going to be really making good on that.

[Dalton]

They're going to be looking.

[Ben]

That's what I'm else to go after. Who offers insurance on drones?

[CJ]

I think people with just whatever that it is and like us with camera equipment being that we use it every day and we're just naturally pretty hard on things. We're like, eh, it's fine.

[Evan]

I feel like we look at it as more of a tool. Then some people might look at their camera gear is like an eye. I don't know.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah, I agree. It's just a tool. And you know the cameras are surprisingly tough. We actually filmed a compound tour which is out now I believe. And I was doing the math. We have like over 20 gopros. How insane is it? I mean gopros insta360s whatever. Which like action cams like that we have over 20 of them, which is insane.

[Mike]

And a lot of time lapse, like freaking eight time lapses over here.

[Ken]

This, you know also the ones we've thrown away because we broke them.

[CJ]

Yeah. I've got two or three busted ones in my office that just like kind of look cool because they fell off like of a motorcycle going oh, the.

[Evan]

One I got sucked into the wheel.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

I didn't want to interrupt during the video, but that is actually our oldest GoPro. That's the hero.

[CJ]

One funny story about the first time a GoPro came out. It looked. It was exactly this. And Ken, of course, had it. And we were out on his boat, and, like, he was like. Him and Ryan were, like, setting up all these things. Like, they were just getting off on the GoPro, like, thinking how sick it was. And they had all these, like, sticky mounts all over this boat. And I'm in the water, surfing, filming, and so they're. They're recording.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Who thought Ryan and Ken were the. Were the original filmers? And it's sitting there, suction cup to this thing. And I remember being like, you sure that's gonna stay? Oh, yeah.

[Ben]

This thing.

[CJ]

It's got greater this, that, whatever, and. And then I'm just sitting there, and we start going, and the rope tightens up, and it just gets under and just goes right. And it's just teetering on the edge. I'm like, oh, shit. Starts swimming over, just hits the water. Sinks like a rock.

[Dalton]

Have that?

[CJ]

Yeah, I didn't have it. Sinks like a rock. It was the first time Ken was using it and then never got that back.

[Ken]

I don't know what I was thinking. I was like, ah, that was such a dumb spot.

[CJ]

It was a big deal at the time. We. When tried. We were trying to figure out if we could get some scuba gear and, like, rent some scuba deer and find.

[Ken]

Yeah, no, that thing's still down there. There's no way you could find that.

[Dalton]

When I got the GoPro, too, that I was like, yep, I made it. They got the peak cinema action photography camera. And then I remember when Ryan had the GoPro 2 double camera mount where one camera mounted upside down and one camera mounted regular, and you could film in 3D.

[Ben]

Combined our GoPros together, the 3D footage was just terrible.

[Mike]

And it was so heavy on the top of your head. I literally remember, like, falling off my snowmobile because I got freaking three pounds up there, dude.

[CJ]

It's just crazy how far these things have came. And we still got an SD card.

[Mike]

In that one, by the way.

[CJ]

Holy shit. It's got a huge SD card slot. Yes, we do. 16 gigabytes. You should probably check this.

[Mike]

I wonder what's running on that thing.

[Ben]

All the footage that we can't find. Every time that we're like, where did this footage go? We don't delete any footage until the video is posted yet. We still manage to lose whatever's on.

[CJ]

This GoPro is from 2012, bro. There's nothing we were not.

[Ben]

That card got slipped in there. You never know where those cards end up.

[CJ]

Yeah, it is crazy, though. We've got all the iterations of GoPros or most of them, and they've came a long way.

[Ben]

The rise and fall of GoPro is pretty crazy, though. For what they were worth and what they're worth now. It's like a penny stock.

[Dalton]

Now you're talking.

[Ben]

Yeah, like the actual. Yeah, like the actual value of it.

[Dalton]

As far as the camera goes, like, GoPro didn't fall. They're still phenomenal cameras.

[Ben]

But it is. But they were.

[Dalton]

They just have, like, competitors monopolizing the game for the longest time, and now they're just not.

[Ken]

I mean, another's DJI insta360. There's all these other.

[Dalton]

Dude, the Ace. Whatever. The Ace Pro 2. It's a great action cam. Probably the best.

[CJ]

What's on?

[Mike]

We got footage, boys.

[Dalton]

Oh, that was quick.

[CJ]

What.

[Ben]

What year is this from?

[CJ]

This got to be so old.

[Ken]

2010.

[Mike]

It's saying January 2, 2010, but based.

[Dalton]

Off of this footy right after the recession, I think it's.

[Mike]

This is saying 2009, but it might just be lying.

[CJ]

Look it.

[Ben]

Hey, you're in the bathroom.

[Evan]

Oh, no, no, no, no.

[Dalton]

This is Ben's cabin.

[Mike]

Hold on.

[Ben]

You look at my GoPro hanging off the side of my helmet there. Just muffle.

[CJ]

Wow, that lighting is amazing.

[Mike]

Yeah, dude, GoPro.

[Ben]

Oh, there's a throw.

[CJ]

There's a throw.

[Evan]

What is this?

[Ben]

I must have been imitating Ken or something.

[CJ]

What the hell is that?

[Mike]

Yeah, dude, I was vlogging out there. Probably just got me.

[CJ]

Every single time you just punch at the camera.

[Mike]

I think we were. I was working on my edits.

[Dalton]

You feel the transition.

[Mike]

Oh, there's.

[Dalton]

Dude, I love it.

[Mike]

Dude, check out this.

[CJ]

Hold on a second. Was I there this day?

[Ben]

Oh, this is. No, this is the day with Jake. Wasn't it Jake when he almost went over backwards?

[Dalton]

This is.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. I remember this field, dude. Just some grainy freaking footage from.

[Ben]

Dude, I gotta see Ken riding.

[CJ]

Awesome.

[Ben]

There's some footage of Ken.

[CJ]

It's amazing how much footage we have.

[Mike]

We got me and Ken racing here, man.

[Dalton]

Dude, Ken's M8 or whatever that was.

[Mike]

Oh, just getting stomped by them. To be fair. You're starting on the trail here.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah, right.

[Ben]

Just.

[CJ]

You got your ass.

[Ben]

Whoop.

[Dalton]

Also, to be fair, those xrs came with, like, maybe an inch Lug.

[CJ]

Yeah, dude, I.

[Mike]

Pretty legit stuff.

[Ben]

Every time I see this kind of.

[Mike]

Footage, look at me just shredding the ditch, dude.

[Ben]

Dude, this is a great trip.

[Mike]

This is the day that I went through like three belts. Yeah.

[Ben]

Every time I see footage like this, honest. And we'll be like that. It brings me back to watching Mark Freeman on YouTube. He was like the very first, like, yeah, kind of Snowmobile Moto YouTuber. Yeah, it was kind of doing what we're doing now 12 years ago, like right as YouTube came out and 14.

[CJ]

Years ago, bro, 15 maybe.

[Ben]

Long time ago.

[CJ]

A long time.

[Ben]

It was really fun. And he would film all of it just like on a GoPro like this. And I just remember watching him being like, man, I wish I could do that or. That's so legendary.

[Dalton]

Mark Freeman's content now it looks like someone just like dug in his brain and just like pulled out half of it and was like, yeah, keep posting.

[Mike]

Nice.

[CJ]

You Mike.

[Ben]

Damn. I was gonna say what, what a legend he is for being an inspiration. I was going a completely different route than you on that, Mike.

[Ken]

Meanest thing I've ever heard you say.

[Dalton]

Sorry.

[Mike]

Mark Freeman's giving away his four wheeler at 408,000 subscribers. Should we get him there?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

What's he out there? I do want to give him his flowers though. He did start like a movement. A movement? Yeah, a wave. And he inspired people like us that now inspire more people and he was at the forefront of that. So.

[CJ]

Yeah, dude, there's no, I mean, there's no denying we've picked up a lot of inspiration from like, a lot of people. I mean, Mark Freeman, obviously, other YouTubers like Evan Shanks, TJ Hunt, and then of course, just like all those like hoodlums wheelieing in the streets of like Baltimore and Philly and then, you know, like normal, like traditional television. Robin, Big fantasy factory. Viva the bam.

[Dalton]

It's cool though, just even like the Paul Brothers.

[CJ]

Yeah. I mean, you just gotta, as a creator or an aspiring creator, you gotta always be taking inspiration. I mean, I'm still taking inspiration from other pieces of, of just content. Like, I'm not saying I'm copying people's ideas, but I'll see something. I'm like, oh, like we could integrate a little bit of that into right here or this moment, you know, And I agree.

[Ben]

I haven't been watching like that many good YouTubers lately. I feel like the current YouTubers are kind of there, but I haven't seen any, like, come up YouTubers.

[CJ]

I think that being a YouTuber is almost getting too hard to like come up on like relative to other platforms. It's a lot easier to pop off on. Granted, you know, you have the most to gain from having a core audience on YouTube. But like as just starting out, it's just way easier to get traction on other platforms.

[Ken]

I think the mental side of it too, like, there's so many people that just comment negative things and the average person could never like get past that and just keep going. They're always going to just be worn down by that.

[CJ]

That's true too. I mean you're going to have that on any platform but. But yeah, I think there's just such a large amount of work no matter. Even if you're doing a lower quality YouTube vid, it's kind of a lot of work versus just ripping a tick tock. And it's way easier to get views on tick tock.

[Mike]

Think of like new people. Nick Narasina Sickos Trying to think of like people.

[Evan]

Yeah, they're not new.

[CJ]

They've been doing it five years. There's no big blow ups. Yeah, just people relative to our size have slowed down quite a bit too. Like they don't post as much. We're one of the few large channels that posts consistently every single week and is doing like pretty big things for.

[Ben]

As long as we've been doing it.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Nine years, baby. Yeah.

[Ben]

Just hit 5 million at this point. I think. I think we're gonna hit. I think we're gonna hit 5 million.

[CJ]

Podcast comes out tomorrow, so. Yeah, for sure. You think tomorrow?

[Ben]

I think tomorrow.

[CJ]

Holy.

[Mike]

Dude, that'd be fun.

[CJ]

I think it's gonna be next week.

[Ken]

We filmed a tick tock yesterday.

[CJ]

Holy.

[Ken]

Before the video went.

[Ben]

I think we're gonna hit it tomorrow, dude. We're gonna. We're 4,500subs throw our 5 million party.

[CJ]

Tomorrow then literally before this.

[Ben]

I think we're gonna hit it tomorrow. I think we gotta have everyone out started.

[Dalton]

We had. We were 6k away. So that just goes to show.

[CJ]

It's insane. Like once you start getting close to like those milestone numbers, it seems like.

[Ben]

It, it ramps up a lot and hockey sticks people.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ben]

It's like creating the wave of, you know, people want to follow so close. You're like, oh yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

Versus like when once we hit five and we're like subscribe so you can, we can get to 6 mil. It's just like, oh, it's less to get behind such a big thing. Like also like when it's like 4.99. That's what it'll show. Like on a non subscribed person. You like, almost want to click it to see if it'll go to five.

[Mike]

It's a good point.

[Ben]

I was looking to see how long it would take for us to hit 10 million. Because the 10 million is like the next time that you get a. A mile marker, like achievement from YouTube and I mean, 10 million is going to feel insane.

[Mike]

That's big.

[Ben]

And I think it was five years from now. So it's 30.

[Evan]

30.

[Ken]

We've consistently.

[CJ]

30.

[Mike]

30 is a scary date.

[Ben]

Sorry, 2030. Not 30.

[CJ]

30.

[Ben]

That's 100. No. Yeah, I didn't catch it.

[Mike]

But yeah, 2030 is still a scary 2030.

[Ben]

Imagine. Oh yeah, you're not going to hit 10 million subscribers for a thousand years. So you're saying there's a chance.

[CJ]

Just keep passing the channel down. Generational.

[Dalton]

That's crazy.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

5 million gonna hit it tomorrow.

[Ben]

5 mil is gonna hit.

[Dalton]

Sick.

[Ben]

Feel sick.

[Dalton]

I've been. I want to like, go out and buy something.

[CJ]

Of course you do. Of course.

[Dalton]

I mean, how else you should buy.

[Evan]

5 million of something to celebrate.

[CJ]

Oh, 5 million pennies. How much is that?

[Ken]

5 million Tootsie Rolls.

[Evan]

Pennies would be 50,000.

[Dalton]

50 grand.

[CJ]

Really?

[Evan]

You just move two zeros, right?

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

What would you do with 5 million pennies?

[Dalton]

Throw them all.

[Evan]

Roll them away. Exactly. Get them out of circulation.

[Mike]

Melt them down.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I mean, that's not a bad idea. Buying 50,000 pennies. No, 5 million pennies and throwing it.

[Dalton]

Away and then smelting them down.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Into one mega penny.

[Ken]

They're not making them anymore.

[Mike]

So you look like.

[Ben]

Pennies anymore.

[CJ]

No, that's because I'm sure just due to inflation.

[Ben]

How big?

[Evan]

I was gonna see. How big is that?

[CJ]

And everything's just credit card.

[Ben]

Like, how much surface area is that?

[Dalton]

How much replica penny could we make with 5 million pennies?

[Ben]

I got my chat GPT working on this one.

[Evan]

I'm faster than that. Mine's telling me.

[Ben]

Oh, okay. 27, 000 pounds.

[Dalton]

Wow.

[Ben]

20, 27 and a half.

[Mike]

How much is that worth?

[Ken]

In Copper Slim, 5 million pennies would take up 76.6 cubic feet. I have no idea how much that is.

[Dalton]

Really, really big.

[Ben]

Dude, can you imagine calling a bank and placing that order? Like, what would they do?

[Evan]

I just pictured. No, we got the truckloads of sand out to make the beach, but they're just dumping pennies.

[Dalton]

Pennies on pennies.

[Ben]

Mike, that'd be so baller.

[Dalton]

I Just.

[Mike]

And then you could throw them all.

[Evan]

Around everywhere, dive into them like Scrooge McDuck.

[Dalton]

That would be crazy.

[Ben]

Five million pennies is equivalent to about 576 gallons.

[Evan]

That's not a good way for me to think about.

[Ben]

So it's a small. It's. It's actually half of a. It's actually half of a small residential pool.

[Evan]

If we put them in a single file line, how many miles.

[Ben]

Okay.

[Mike]

All right, hold on.

[Ken]

Chat GPT would be roughly the weight of two adult elephants.

[Evan]

I can't remember the last time I.

[Ben]

How many. Hold on. How many ketchup bottles is that? Yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

What does that even mean? How many pounds?

[Ben]

About 27,660 miles.

[Evan]

Oh, my God.

[Ben]

60 miles.

[Mike]

And. And that's it. I mean, that's a lot. But I don't know.

[Evan]

Your house and back and still have pennies.

[Mike]

Just follow the copper road far than.

[Dalton]

I thought it would be.

[Mike]

Follow the Copper Road.

[Ken]

Five million pennies would weigh approximately the same as 18,000 ketchup bottles.

[Ben]

Man, these people listening right now, they're going to have so many stats to be able to tell people, dude.

[CJ]

And like, now with Chat GPT, you can pull this stuff instantly, assuming it's.

[Ken]

Not hallucinating fake stats.

[CJ]

How many accurate.

[Ben]

How many mall floors can you fill up with pennies? Remember, like the old moored center mall penny floor.

[CJ]

Well, it depends on the size.

[Mike]

How many tables, how many bar tops can I make out of paint?

[Ben]

Remember that? Do you guys remember that, or am I tripping maybe? I think that was the thing, right?

[Ken]

It might have been.

[CJ]

No, dude, you should have your house. If you ever redo your floors, you should do.

[Dalton]

Oh, that'd be.

[Ben]

No, no, no.

[Evan]

Penny siding, penny floors in there, Penny shingles, penny everything.

[Ken]

Well, no, you do pennies and then you put epoxy over the top of it. That's what.

[Ben]

They honestly don't do that, Mike.

[Evan]

Gotta be durable. And it's literally cheaper than building material.

[CJ]

It would be. You'd never probably have to replace it. There you go, Mike.

[Dalton]

Now they're not just trash. Yeah.

[Mike]

Looks like Micah's costume's wearing off on all of us.

[Ben]

Use it for floor. Like in the. In the mall. Like recycled pens.

[CJ]

No, I think they were just probably trying to.

[Dalton]

Yeah, they pulled them out of the fountain.

[Ben]

Yeah, they pulled him out of the fountain. I would be help pay for our new floor. Donate a penny.

[Dalton]

Toss a penny, Dude.

[Ben]

Next meet and greet we do, we should have, like, a little jar that. Like a penny jar. And it's for recycled pennies. Like you know that wherever this if. If you donate a penny, it's going to go to good use somewhere. Yes.

[Dalton]

It's going to be used for a floor somewhere.

[Ben]

I remember start donating pennies overseas. Hopefully something we're building mud huts with petty floors.

[CJ]

I'm pretty sure Danny Duncan's like one of his most viewed videos is him buying like $10,000 worth of. Of pennies. Let me just check. Yeah. His most viewed video nine years ago, 32 million views falling with 30,000 pennies. And that's a lot of two minutes long and got 32 million views. So right there.

[Ben]

What's like the cheapest thing you could buy? 5 million of rice.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Good.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

You didn't even have to Google that.

[Ben]

Yeah. So we got a new four wheeler and we sent one of our merch workers to go and pick it up yesterday. And I got a text from the guy that he was buying it from that we owe him a new mailbox.

[Evan]

No way.

[Ben]

Shut up.

[Dalton]

I thought it was a fire sign.

[CJ]

How the this happened? What happened?

[Evan]

I bet he backed into it.

[Dalton]

Nope.

[Evan]

What?

[Dalton]

What? That's drove me.

[CJ]

Nope.

[Ben]

Drove the trailer. Is that what happened? I don't know what happened.

[Dalton]

Yeah, he walked in and he's like, yo, I backed into the guy's fire sign with the trailer. I'm like, well, was he upset? He's like, he was.

[Ben]

No, the guy was. The guy was cool about it. The guy was like a sub. Because the whole encounter started out with I was messaging him. I had to make a new Facebook account. So I have one friend. It looks super suspicious, right? My Facebook account.

[Mike]

I'll be your friend.

[Evan]

That's why everyone I'd go to pick deal that you've middlemanned. Everyone thinks it's a scam. I didn't realize that's the Corvette guy.

[Mike]

Was like, holy, you guys are real.

[Ben]

Of course it looks fake. It does look fake. I know I got to get my numbers up, but I got locked out of my old Facebook account. It's a whole thing. Right. So my new account does look like a scam, right?

[Dalton]

At least have a profile picture.

[CJ]

I'm a friend request right now.

[Ben]

So I'm. I'm running these deals and friend. I. I basically work this guy and my dad text me after I I befriended him him because I sent him a friend request and he goes, hey, did you get hacked? I think you got a scammer out there. And I was like, no, this is actually me. So anyway, that's What I've been dealing with, actually. So this guy. Basically, I facilitate this deal, and then I was, like, trying to get him to, like, drop it off, and he was like, I don't even know where Cormorant is, and, like, saying things like that. I was like, okay, all right, whatever, man. He's being kind of, like, standoffish, right? And then I finally was like, all right, I'm sending a guy to come and pick it up. Then he calls me, and I answer. I was like, hello? And he's like, oh, wow, it is you. I was like, yeah. Why? He's like, oh, I thought it was just a scam. So I was just calling to see if you'd actually answer. And I was like, why do I keep getting this? So anyway, the guy ended up being, like, super cool. He was like, oh, dude, if I.

[CJ]

Would have known that you were real.

[Ben]

I would have came and delivered it and this and that. Yeah. And then. So he was, like, a fan. Fan of the vids. And then he sent me that, and I was like, oh, dude, let me know what we owe.

[CJ]

We'll.

[Ben]

We'll pay to get it fixed and. And however to go about it. And he's like, oh, it's all good. No worries. Keep breaking or something.

[Mike]

He's like, dude, they came to my house, and they still broke stuff.

[CJ]

Yeah, and it wasn't even them.

[Evan]

Was it the big skid steer trailer at least?

[Ken]

Yeah, it was the tilt deck.

[Evan]

Okay.

[Mike]

I'm glad he didn't do with the truck.

[Evan]

It was a tight area. I could see how you guy could get jammed up.

[Mike]

Happens.

[Ben]

Yeah, it does happen, but I. I just saw that, and I was like, like, man, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Every guy we got around here is breaking.

[CJ]

We could break a bowling ball.

[Ben]

Dalton's breaking our drones.

[Dalton]

One of the other merch guys just totaled the F out of his car hitting a deal.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

Oh, that sucks.

[Ken]

Smoked. It does suck.

[Dalton]

It does.

[Evan]

Is that why he's driving a truck today?

[Dalton]

Yeah. Wondering his mom for a bit.

[Ben]

Yeah, we're just. We're just surrounded by wrecking balls, Honestly.

[CJ]

Break a bowling ball, as Evan's grandpa used to say about Evan when he was a kid. This is one of my favorite stories that his parents told me. Yeah, his grandpa used to say that he could break a bowling ball. Like, everything he touched, he'd break. Like, you'd give him a bowling ball, the thing would come back broken.

[Ben]

Like, you know, he just.

[Mike]

It's true that's freaking funny.

[Ben]

Some things you just don't grow out of.

[CJ]

What are we at?

[Dalton]

I know no one's gonna care about this except for me, but you guys see that they.

[Mike]

Hell of an intro.

[Dalton]

They.

[Ben]

Well, I mean, you got me at the edge of. The edge of my seat, Mike.

[Dalton]

The last time I brought up a Subaru, I thought we were all Subaru guys. Like, you know, at least deep down. Besides, maybe Ryan and I just got shit on when I suggested it. But they did away with the hatchback of the WRX in 2014, which is.

[CJ]

They're bringing it back.

[Dalton]

Yeah. And they did away with the STI in 2021 or two. And so it's. It's just cool. They brought the hatchback back in an sti and it's not electric. This is a concept. I wear the head, but like, probably still kind of looks like an.

[Ben]

Yeah, no, it looks like.

[Dalton]

Okay, so, yeah, the front, the side.

[Ben]

Love it looks like the Tribeca.

[Ken]

I was gonna say the side looks like exactly like a Crosstrek.

[Dalton]

They just put cool wheels on and it has flares.

[Ben]

This is a concept. Yes, this is a concept.

[CJ]

The back was like that.

[Ken]

Obviously just a Crosstrek.

[Dalton]

Obviously the. The. The car is not going to come with that wing.

[Ben]

But like, you got a eyed buddy.

[Dalton]

I didn't think this is a real car, bro.

[Mike]

But I mean, I'm saying I think it's cool.

[CJ]

I think it's cool. I agree.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it's not gonna look like this, but you will be able to make it look like that with aftermarket parts.

[CJ]

I think it's cool. I think it's just the new Subarus don't have that degenerate look that the old ones had. Like, the old ones, the kind of guys driving around in a 2007 STI was kind of like troublemaker. Yeah, you're kind of a. You had more of a punk look to you. Whereas these are just kind of like. They give me granola lesbian vibe.

[Dalton]

I still think I gotta get one. I'll get one and put. I'll get one in like straight pipe it and then.

[CJ]

Oh, you should buy one.

[Ben]

I think you might be the only thing getting straight pipe.

[Mike]

Jeez.

[Dalton]

When did WRX's become lesbian rigs though?

[Ken]

The 20.

[Ben]

The current generation, bro. As soon as they made them automatics.

[Dalton]

Well, they've always made them automatics.

[Ben]

No.

[Dalton]

Yeah, like there, there's like, there's blob eyes that are automatics.

[CJ]

It still was.

[Ben]

I don't think they have very rare.

[CJ]

They were Cool. They were still just more. I don't know, I think they're just automatics.

[Dalton]

You had.

[CJ]

No, they're just not race car. That's the thing. Once they made them less race carry, that's when they just weren't that cool.

[Dalton]

Yes.

[Ben]

No way.

[Dalton]

One time. Because, I mean, I think I've even told this story. But my one buddy who has he.

[Mike]

Lost in 2008, he lost his leg.

[Dalton]

To diabetes and he said he loves driving WRXs and he, he had a WRX and I was like, oh, it's so sick. You have a wrx, you know, and it's auto because he only has one leg and he got a new wrx. I'm like, that's sick. So is it a manual? And then he's like, no, I didn't grow a leg and learn how to drive it. Obviously it's an automatic.

[Ben]

I was today years old when I found that out.

[Ken]

The generation both of us own that.

[CJ]

Had an auto, it is that one downhill in 2015.

[Dalton]

It is comical when someone selling. It's pretty rare. Like an automatic WX is rare. I hate to even call it that. When people see them on Facebook marketplace, they just chalk it up as like, that could literally be half price that I still wouldn't buy it.

[CJ]

Because you know the problem, the real problem nowadays though is like, I still love the old ones, but they're just not fast. There's not fast. Like, yeah, my straight up truck is faster too.

[Dalton]

Like.

[Ben]

Well, yeah, you got a 700 horsepower Raptor. A car going to be faster. You have the fastest production truck ever, ever made. Cj.

[CJ]

Well, still, I just.

[Ben]

Your truck is faster than most modern day sports cars.

[CJ]

So that's sad. A truck should not be faster than your sports car. Like if I did, it's sad for everybody else. My Ford pickup, that's no good for you.

[Ken]

I think the real problem is you get a camry with like 350 horsepower that is. Has more horsepower and is bigger than that.

[Mike]

Not all about horsepower, boys.

[Dalton]

It's not always about being bigger because.

[CJ]

That'S all he's got going for. Don't tell him that.

[Ken]

Yeah, but it's a Camry that's faster and is more powerful. It's like compared to what a sports car is supposed to be.

[Dalton]

It's whack. And then, I mean, obviously we're talking about, let's say you can pick up like a 2011 GTR now for like 60 grand and that's.

[CJ]

That's fast car.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, it's on an R8.

[CJ]

Fast.

[Mike]

An R8. The generation before the V1. Yep. Automatic. And it was like 43 grand with a supercharger kit on it. That's a crazy car.

[Ben]

That is a crazy car. How about the i8s?

[Mike]

I'm regretting not getting that one.

[Ben]

Those things up for like 35.

[CJ]

If you were driving around in that, I think, bro, I still see them pop up. It definitely would fit your car. Taste.

[Mike]

I'm getting the TC back. I sent it off to college. Fixed up.

[Ben]

Yeah. Where's that? Where's that at?

[Dalton]

College Coming.

[Mike]

It's coming back already.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

He fix it up.

[Evan]

Who?

[Mike]

He's got to put the new suspension in it. He's gonna do it.

[Evan]

What did he do to it?

[Ben]

I thought you were getting it like fully resto modded.

[Mike]

No, no. He just did all the undercarriage work.

[Ben]

Undercarriage work?

[Mike]

In a week, brakes, bearings.

[Ben]

It's gonna come back here and it's just gonna have a light bar on it.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I didn't fix anything, but I wired in your light.

[CJ]

It doesn't actually work, but it's there. You just need to wire it now.

[Ken]

So what kind of LS hard work?

[Mike]

I. I didn't do anything.

[Dalton]

That's.

[Evan]

You should combine your Corvette drift car.

[Dalton]

No, down the road, I was like. It would actually be a full circle moment if you swapped it and made it real wheel drive.

[Mike]

I think you'd have to put the engine in the back though.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Cuz the.

[Mike]

The TC is so short in the front.

[Evan]

I bet Robbie could hook you up. I, Robbie Layton, can find a way to have an engine in the front.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You could build anything. Is like whatever you want. You could do that TV into a car.

[Evan]

We should be dead hop on a zoom, call with time and be like, all right, Robbie.

[Ben]

Hey, Robbie. Do you think that you could wide body rtv.

[CJ]

Would it be worth it? No, not at all. But he could do it. I guarantee it. He can do anything.

[Dalton]

You could put like a big turbo K20 in it. That's a lot smaller motor in the TV.

[Ad Host 2]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

And the TC2C or the TV, dude.

[Mike]

You give him a freaking plasma screen, you know, A little thicker, he could do anything.

[Ben]

I love that. Dude. I am so hot right now.

[CJ]

Yeah. I'm ready to.

[Ben]

I'm sweating bullets inside this mike.

[CJ]

I can't believe you just wear this on a normal day.

[Dalton]

Do you think it's acceptable if I hand out candy on my nice neighborhood in this?

[Ken]

Probably not.

[Ben]

I don't see a problem with it. You're sitting on a podcast.

[CJ]

Sydney's on his chest.

[Ben]

Oh, it does he. Oh, is it? Oh, I didn't see that.

[Dalton]

The Blunt man costume just as a giant weed leaf. Ah, okay.

[Ben]

I guess I could see the problem with it, but I don't. You're probably the cool neighbor, Mike.

[Ken]

No.

[Mike]

Yeah, you for sure gotta be, dude, your whole neighborhood's gotta be like, oh.

[Dalton]

That Micah, I love the idea of just parking the Viper out front. Yeah, take a look. I don't got any candy, but that's better.

[Ben]

Just flex on all the kids.

[Mike]

Put a little ghost costume over a big sheet with eye holes in it.

[Dalton]

I love that.

[Ben]

Sir, all we want is. Is candy. No, buddy, take a look at my Viper. That's better than candy.

[Mike]

There's a 2013 Dodge Viper.

[Dalton]

I bet you haven't said take a look.

[Evan]

Are we good?

[Mike]

How many minutes are we out of.

[Ben]

Holy. I almost called him.

[CJ]

Ken, we're down.

[Ben]

Did you remember. Did you remember to turn the. The audio on?

[Evan]

Should the record be green or red?

[Ben]

What color is it right now? Because it's supposed to be green.

[Evan]

Green.

[Ben]

Okay, good.

[CJ]

Shut the up, dude.

[Ben]

It wasn't like the first podcast we ever filmed. Not recording.

[CJ]

No, it was like a different time, but earlier. Like, three fours through and Ken goes, oh.

[Ken]

Did I. Did I double press the podcast board or the camera? One of the two.

[CJ]

I doubled timers.

[Mike]

But yeah, I think we just toughed it out. We just sat right back down.

[Ben]

I think we did it again. Stood up.

[Ken]

We had.

[Ben]

We had a quick look at a little hot lap, but it's just.

[CJ]

It's tough to do it all again to have the same enthusiasm. You almost need to talk about something completely new.

[Mike]

Remember when we filmed the. The Chop tour for that.

[CJ]

That.

[Mike]

Oh, Jay Thomas, that show for that show. And then we did like half the thing, and the guy holding the boom mic goes, oh, oh.

[Ben]

Wasn't rolling up.

[Mike]

I wasn't recording. Yeah, we gotta do it again. And the way he said, I was like, oh, hahaha, very funny. You know, Glad we didn't just waste the last four hours doing this. Nope, gotta do it again. Yeah, they just ripped like four cigarettes.

[CJ]

He was so mad.

[Mike]

He was so mad.

[Ben]

He was so mad.

[Mike]

We gotta go hand out some candy.

[Ben]

Let's get to it.

[Dalton]

Go pick up some king's eyes.

[Ben]

All right, if you made it to this point in the podcast, thank you guys so much. Thank you, guys. For 5 million subscribers, if you were.

[Dalton]

One of the people that subscribed before 5 million high five brothers, you're an OG.

[Mike]

Yeah, we're just trying to get the pod to 5 million now, so only 4.7 more million to go.

[CJ]

We'll see ya.

[Ben]

Appreciate you guys.

[Ken]

Thank you.
