Transcript

[Ryan]

You know what?

[Ken]

I'm gonna try the Jake Thomas Method.

[CJ]

No headphones.

[Ken]

No headphones.

[Mike]

Why?

[Ken]

Last week we, we filmed this TV show for our buddy Jay Thomas. He's our local radio friend. He's actually been a ride or die with us for a long time. Long time. But anyway, he does this show called Rides and he hit us up and was like, hey, I want to come to your guys's shop, show your shop, show all your cars and do everything like that for my show. And, you know, he's always had our back and we were excited for the opportunity to do something with him. So we were like, of course. Well, then afterwards we were sitting there talking like, hey, how long you been in radio for? He was like, 40 years. Like, no kidding? And so he was just, you know, giving us advice on. On how to keep a conversation going or come to something, like a podcast with, like, certain topics and then how to go deeper into them. But he was like, yeah, and if you're wearing headphones, I would just take those off. Feels a lot more natural.

[Evan]

Really?

[CJ]

So you thought more natural without the headphones?

[Ken]

Yeah, dude.

[CJ]

He can talk to himself. It's actually so easy. Like when we did a tour of all of our cars, and he goes and tours like, crazy, crazy garages where it's like the random dude with a big barn that's like outside in the country. And then you walk in there and it's got every piece of memorabilia and every car is pristine with like two miles on it. So we aren't really as like, normal clientele. But he was able to literally, like, talk to himself and just keep it going. It's pretty impressive.

[Ken]

Imagine doing a three hour show by yourself like three times a week. Oh, like, that's crazy. You know, 40 years.

[Ryan]

You know what I thought was the most. I said I shouldn't say interesting, but the most funny part was when we had to do the show three times. We had to film it three times.

[CJ]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

Because the first time I didn't have a mic. And they're like, go in there. And then they're like, oh, we should really have a mic on cj. Let's redo it. Redid it again a second time. I was like, okay, we knocked out of the park there. Thirty minutes later, guy just goes, oh, I wasn't recording.

[CJ]

It's literally his only job was he was sitting there with headphones on, holding a mic, recording and hit record the whole show. The whole damn show.

[Ryan]

It's funny. And we're like, okay, so we had to redo it, and so I have.

[CJ]

To make a purchase.

[Evan]

Ryan's buying another rights to another song. What song do you think it is? Comment down below. Can you imagine if that's what it was? He's like, I just got the, you know, 1.1% rights to toxic by Britney Spears. I think it's a good investment. I don't know.

[Ken]

That might be. That might be.

[Ryan]

I don't know about that song. That song is on it.

[Evan]

Well, that was maybe a bad example, but so many people, yo. Running up Chill bill for you, right? So many nice people for that one.

[Ryan]

It's pretty nice.

[Ken]

I heard Ryan on the phone a little bit earlier. I don't want to. I don't want to out what he's playing. I was in the bathroom and he was out on the phone with, like, this lady. It's on her leg. And I came out and. And listened to their conversation for like five minutes. And I was like, what are you buying?

[Ryan]

And maybe another Hummer.

[Ken]

Well, that's. That's what it sounded like when he was like, well, how shitty is the paint? Can you see the Bondo?

[Ryan]

That's what he said.

[Ken]

That's, like, how it was going.

[Evan]

Yeah, dude, I would.

[Ken]

I, like, this dude just never learns.

[Evan]

I mean, there's a lot of things that could happen that would make all of us laugh. But, like, yeah, if Ryan pulled up us unknowing with a new Hummer, we'd be like.

[Ryan]

And it was yellow.

[Evan]

Oh, man, that be great.

[Ken]

Like the same year Hummer.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, just the old school Hummer, because they do exist out there, like, still cherry. And the worst part is they're way more than ten grand, which is kind of a crime.

[Ken]

But I think Hummer the Hummer joke is just not fair anymore. You know, it's. It's. It's proven itself time and time over again. I can't sit here, I mean, and rag on it too hard.

[Evan]

It's damn near got. I mean, like, let's compare just as much fame as, like, the Lambo.

[Ken]

Probably more.

[Ryan]

More, more.

[Ken]

Way more.

[Ryan]

It's probably produced more hits and views, I would say.

[Evan]

Yeah, hit for sure.

[Ryan]

Probably ten times over.

[Ken]

Well, I wouldn't quite go that far.

[Ryan]

Like, it's memorable, you know, like, you.

[Ken]

Know, it's actually cool.

[Evan]

I mean, let's be real. Like, Ben's Lambo is very memorable. Everyone snapped.

[Ryan]

Not really, though. It's just like a stock Lambo as far as the Internet goes.

[Evan]

Well, yeah.

[Ryan]

You know.

[Evan]

Yeah. Within the group.

[Ryan]

Every YouTuber has a Lambo CJ. You got a wide body that. And like, I don't know, dude.

[Ken]

People have done that too. Nothing.

[Ryan]

The dually Ford Ranger.

[Ken]

That's cool.

[Ryan]

That right there. Like, that's, That's. Yeah. Which. That pulled the boat today, amazingly.

[Ken]

I would like to say I was surprised, but I would have been surprised if it wouldn't have.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I had so much faith in it. As soon as we dropped it down, I saw the way it was sitting, I was like, oh, this is going to be perfect. And like, I was honestly, it was very sturdy and it felt secure and normally locked in.

[Evan]

The last stunts that we did with it, you know, whenever we hooked the gooseneck up to it, it sits on its bump stops. And it wasn't.

[Ryan]

No.

[Evan]

And so, like, I don't know, my favorite part was when we're at the axis and the, the old guy, you know, he's. He's sitting there on his fishing boat waiting to load up, and he's like, well, what's that thing got for a motor? And we're just. We're so excited about the Ranger that we're like, oh, just a. Just a six cylinder.

[Ken]

Isn't it crazy?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

He was talking about the boat and.

[Evan]

Then we're on and on.

[Ryan]

Stock 99 Ford Ranger V6. It's the best, isn't it?

[Evan]

I was, I was talking about the boat.

[Ken]

I don't know. We just get so fired up over that thing. It just outshines everything in our eyes. When people are driving by looking, we're like, Ford Ranger 99. Only thing done to it is spacers. I think we got to put a different motor in it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I agree.

[Evan]

I think we need some real power.

[Ryan]

Diesel swap it. Like, imagine if that thing had a Cummins in it or a Power Stroke or a Duramax. I think a Duramax would probably be a biggest hit.

[Evan]

But, yeah, I genuinely don't know. But, I mean, I'm down for anything.

[Ryan]

Diesel Duramax swap. Ford Ranger.

[Ken]

Big Wrench is down.

[CJ]

Really?

[Ryan]

Yeah. We should do Max it.

[Ken]

So, okay, so we talked about bringing on Big Wrench. He's our mechanic, our fabricator guy. Like, what he's managed to build in the last 30 days should not be possible in 30 days. And we just keep throwing projects at them. And it's funny, though, because, like, some of them, for instance, the Hummer Pontoon, it was a Tuesday, and we asked Big Wrench if we could have it done by Wednesday night.

[Evan]

Just welded and welded and it was, it was more.

[Ken]

More of a question of how long do you think it would take? Do you think it could be done in two days? But apparently he brought that one to Evan and said, you're not going to believe what these idiots thought I could do in two days. And Evan's like rolling his eyes. Like, I tried telling him to be more realistic, but he did. To be fair, he got it done in three days.

[Evan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ken]

Which was amazing.

[Ryan]

You can't be realistic, though, when you want to make shit happen. Sorry to cut you off, Mike.

[Evan]

No, that's. I was just saying it's funny that, that he was consulting Evan about it because Evan is pretty easy going and he stands up for some. Some things he believes in, and some things he believes in that we do is just unrealistic deadlines and unrealistic pushing to make things happen.

[Ken]

I mean, to be fair, though, everything is unrealistic and nothing makes sense. And if you sit there and think about it too long, you're gonna talk yourself out of it because it's such a stupid idea. You might as well just.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're just wasting time. You better get started. Quit thinking about it and just do it.

[Evan]

So then we're just constantly. I mean, big wrench has. He's done so well. Obviously we knew he was going to.

[Ryan]

He fits in the crew so well too.

[Evan]

He's. He's not. Doesn't need the camera at all, but he really, like, he's. He's quite a bit older than us, but he really enjoys being a part of the finished product, which is so fun.

[Ryan]

I think he. I think he's enjoying working here. I mean, I guess I can't speak for him, but it seems like he's like, he's chilling dude. Like, he's having a good time. He shows up every day and he seems pretty. Like he's obviously in a good mood and I think he's having fun. I'm sure it's a big change from being like a race, you know, because it's probably very serious. You're like, okay, what do we got to do here? We're just like, what do you think? Put the toilet on the shifter car? Do you think we could do that?

[Ken]

And he's like, okay, yeah, it's free reign.

[Evan]

Partially because he really does have more skill and experience than us, and partially because it's like, well, we'd be doing the same thing. Just huck and pray.

[Ryan]

I think we could do a lot of these things. I just don't think we'd be able to make them happen as fast.

[Evan]

Right.

[Ryan]

Because we would have to spend way more time looking at it, figuring out, and then also consulting with other people. We'd have to, like, outsource fabricating and like, you know, stuff like that. Why?

[Ken]

Which is what we've done for the last six years.

[Ryan]

Yeah, exactly. But now it's like we just have him here and he just, like, he's so quick because he's got, I don't know, 40 years of experience of just fixing stuff and fabricating stuff and welding and whatever. And so, like, he just can crank them out.

[Ken]

Dude. I pitched him on this new toilet idea that I had.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

He legit looks at me, laughs, and goes, let's maybe wait at least a month between toilet builds.

[Ryan]

He's got his family at home that he needs to, like, explain what he did at work each day on the toilet, would you?

[Ken]

What'd you build at work today? Another toilet. They're like, sitting around another toilet. I know. I tried telling them. Try telling them it needs some time.

[Ryan]

Have me put nitrous on it this time.

[Ken]

Yeah. Remember back in the day when. When somebody would drive, like, their mom's car and the whole crew would be in it and you'd be ripping it and be like, damn, this thing's actually fast. Who would have known that Accords were actually fast? And it always changed. Like, I had this perception that, like, certain cars were fast when they actually weren't. And it was like every time Jake, our friend Jake, would drive, like, his mom's car or like one of his dad's workers cars or something like that, and he would just rip the shit out of it. We thought that it was fast, but it really wasn't. He would just drive it that fast. So now every time I see, like, Accords, I'm like, that things actually got some get up and go to it kind of do.

[Ryan]

That was the same thing with. With my friend Sean. He had a. A Focus, just a normal Ford Focus, but he drive it super fast. And I thought that thing was like, fast. I remember telling my dad, I want a Ford Focus.

[Evan]

I never necessarily like using Jake as an example. Like, he drove the Outbacks as fast as he could. I never thought those were fast. But then he had his red Grand Cherokee just like mine, but it was a V8 and he could drive that like. Like I was getting in a truck, like a trophy truck with someone. I'm like, you don't have to 100% throttle everywhere you go about the Ford Edge.

[Ken]

Remember the Ford Edge Days.

[CJ]

What was your guys's favorite vehicle you think you've owned?

[Ryan]

My Ford Raptor.

[CJ]

You do love your Raptor bad.

[Evan]

Probably my Subaru.

[CJ]

Which one?

[Evan]

Oh, yeah, the yellow one.

[CJ]

Not the Impreza I'd never had or whatever. The Legacy.

[Evan]

No, love that because, like, that was back in the day when it was, like, all I had. Love that. But no, I mean, it has nothing to compare to the yellow Subi.

[Ken]

Probably my Corvette.

[CJ]

Yeah, it was good rig.

[Ken]

That was a great rig. Looked amazing for the. For the time. It was, like, nothing like it. I had never experienced anything like it. Especially for the whole crew, too. That was, like, kind of like the first really cool car in the group.

[CJ]

Yeah, I feel like I've owned a Corvette now. Because you have.

[Ken]

That is the nice part, actually. We all kind of get to experience everything.

[CJ]

Yeah, I can tell people that. My friend owns a Lamborghini, you know, and I never had to buy it.

[Ken]

That is nice.

[CJ]

Yeah, Nice for me.

[Evan]

I got a surprise for you guys. Oh, just kidding. You already know what it is. But I have a surprise for everyone else listening, because I'm sure you guys have heard us talk about this in two years.

[Ryan]

We finally got our 1 million subscriber play button.

[Ken]

We did it, boys. You.

[Evan]

My favorite part is that all of us, at one point at least, have called it. Yeah, we got our 2 million play button. That's not because it came, you know, after 2 million. Yeah, it's. It's pretty sick. And I don't know why we finally got it now. Like, I don't know what happened. That they were like, cool, now it's good to go.

[Ken]

Yeah, but we got it. So you had to, like, reapply for it.

[CJ]

Yeah, I basically went through. Because the first time we applied, they said that we had unoriginal content. Right.

[Ryan]

It was some kind of air. Yeah.

[Ken]

I think the reason that they said that is because, like, sometimes when we use copywritten music, we'll, like, upload a bit of that, whatever we had edited to that song and then just upload it and see if it gets copywritten or not. And we had, like, two songs uploaded, and they were both copywritten, so we weren't gonna use them. And that was, like, the last two songs, I think, on the channel. Did they not do any, like, anything else?

[CJ]

They were just like, yeah, these guys got a million subscribers by uploading copywritten songs. Like, what?

[Ryan]

Did Matilda help you get that?

[CJ]

No, I literally just logged in, and it was like, apply. And then I did, and then I, like, Shot me back a code, and I put the code in and the shipping information. It just, like, worked.

[Ryan]

Can you order more of those? Can you? Or just get, like.

[CJ]

Yeah, you can.

[Evan]

That's more. Yeah, you have to pay for them. But then. So we get a little. Little, I don't know, piece of paper that says if you and your team want more email this email. That's it. That's all it says.

[CJ]

I'm going to. I have it in my room.

[Evan]

I am also going to. Maybe we should just all get.

[Ken]

Dude, I want one.

[Ryan]

No, I'll just have her. I just have Ryan do it, and he can get us all one, and.

[Evan]

Then I'll order it. I'm saying.

[Ken]

Yeah, like, how many do you guys want?

[Ryan]

I'd say 1.

[Ken]

11.

[CJ]

Big wrench needs one in his house, in his kitchen.

[Ryan]

Big Wrench has been a YouTuber for one month. He's already got a million play button.

[CJ]

It's on his fridge.

[Ken]

He's like, guys, I really. I don't want. I don't want this.

[CJ]

He's like, is this cool? We're like, yeah. I was listening to Theo Von Full Send podcast, and they were talking about teachers and. And stuff. You guys ever have a hot teacher?

[Ken]

Oh, they were hot. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Well, I think everyone has a hot teacher that you think is hot in the time. And then you, like, look back at the yearbook and you're like, oh, man.

[Ryan]

She was just hot because she was, like, a female. A female that was a teacher, you know, compared to the other teachers. And you, like, sat there and looked at her each day. You know what I'm saying?

[Ken]

Yeah, there was always, like, hot. I don't know if I actually even had a hot teacher, but there was always, like, hot teachers in the. In the.

[Ryan]

They were hot relative to, like, well, in the grade.

[Ken]

And then you were lucky if you got to be in, like, their class. Oh, like, one of those things. So it was like, only, like a. Like a mystery. Like, oh, man, I wonder what it's like to be in her class.

[Evan]

But, yeah, I agree that that is a scenario, but I did have one that was just. Just plain hot. Really?

[Ken]

Really?

[Evan]

Yeah. I feel like there's no. No two ways around it, honestly. Still is. She was a choir teacher.

[Ken]

Oh, okay.

[Ryan]

That makes sense.

[Ken]

Yeah. Was she cool?

[Evan]

Yeah, she was super cool. I think that's the worst part. The only way to truck through all the comments, especially when you're a hot high school teacher. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I think it would suck I'm not saying, you know, you don't prefer to.

[CJ]

Be an ugly high school.

[Evan]

I think, yeah, I think it would be. You can still be cool and ugly, but if you're cool and hot, you're. You're just getting bombarded by, I mean, high school boys, I guess, or maybe vice versa.

[Ken]

Dude, you gotta know that. I think like, if you're good looking and you. You're gonna be a teacher, like, you got to know that's coming.

[Evan]

That's true. I agree.

[Ken]

You know, it's almost. What.

[CJ]

It's funny. You got to know that high school boys are going to be hitting.

[Ken]

I mean.

[Evan]

Yeah. What do you expect? Like, it. Because I'm just saying, like, it happened and it happened so much and most of it's like 99% of it is all behind like closed doors, you know.

[CJ]

No one ever would ever hear behind closed doors. The.

[Evan]

The speaking.

[CJ]

Oh, not to her. I thought there was.

[Ken]

My buddy Ken knows a thing or two about hot teachers. No comment.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, we had a. We had a couple hot teachers at our school.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Ken knew him real well.

[Mike]

I think one of them, one of them got fired though, because they. What did they do, Mike?

[Evan]

No, I was, I was gonna like, kind of.

[Ken]

With one of the students.

[Evan]

No, it wasn't the tall bearded ones. Yeah, Ken. Well, it didn't help. The. Ken looked 21 when he was 16.

[Ryan]

They thought he was the janitor.

[Evan]

No, that was the other thing. Sometimes when you get. And this isn't just necessarily my school, but sometimes you get like younger, more attractive teachers. They like end up getting fired because they're.

[Ryan]

Seriously.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I mean, female teachers or male teachers. Because I feel like there is a little bit of like, if it's a male teacher, it's like, oh, that's up. And if it's a. It was a teacher, you're kind of just like.

[Evan]

Just like one.

[Ken]

Hooking up with the student.

[Evan]

A new.

[CJ]

Maybe not hooking up. A flirty.

[Evan]

No, with. Well, with another teacher there. Oh, they.

[CJ]

Two teachers can't.

[Evan]

They're both married.

[Ken]

Oh, one of those.

[Evan]

And then.

[Ken]

Wait, is that who I'm thinking?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Well. Well, how about when you were like, you had a teacher that, you know, would hang out with another teacher of the opposite sex. Like you had a female teacher that would hang out with like the other male teacher. And they could have just been friends, but like the entire class is like, I bet they're together.

[CJ]

I had two teachers like that. They were both young and we always. Everybody, you know, of course, was Making jokes. But the guy, I don't know if he had much, much skills. On. On. Yeah.

[Ken]

Much r. On.

[CJ]

Yeah. Not much, Riz. But they ended up getting married, so she worked out. Yeah. It's really funny because it was going down. Apparently it was going down, and I feel like we all knew it was.

[Ken]

But I saw this tik tok one time of a guy being like, all right, I know, I know. There's, you know, a bunch of rumors that you kids are spreading seventh graders that me and Ms. Johnson are. Are dating. And I just want to come up here, confirm that we are. And then he drops down on a knee and proposes.

[Evan]

What?

[Ken]

In front of the classroom.

[Ryan]

That's weird.

[Ken]

I was like, what? Couldn't think of anywhere better.

[Evan]

I was just going to say I'd be like, lame.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Wow.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

About bad proposals, but that's up.

[Ryan]

That's crazy.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I mean, maybe. I guess they're really about the kids school and stuff, you know?

[Ken]

I mean, I feel like you got to be.

[CJ]

God bless him.

[Ken]

My dad asked me. I was talking to him on the phone this morning, and he was like, hey, I'm gonna have some work done at this my land. What are you by so and so? You had him as a teacher, didn't you? And I. I almost couldn't even help myself. I was like, yeah, that guy. Oh, really? He's an ass. And then I was, like, trying to think. I was like, man, why did I hate that guy so much? Couldn't remember really why, but still something within me, seventh grade. I'm not gonna say what, but yeah. Don't really remember what the context of it was, but clearly it stuck with me enough for 12 years later to be like, tell my dad that. And then I, like, caught myself. I was like. And still use them.

[Ryan]

Still use them.

[Ken]

Don't let my opinion, you know, sway. I hate to.

[CJ]

His work might be decent.

[Ken]

Yeah. I hate to have this guy, you know, he could have been having a bad day back in seventh grade.

[CJ]

He could have had a bad year.

[Ken]

Bad year. Or a bad year, but.

[CJ]

But, yeah, he probably tells the same story about you. I had this one student, they'd think back and he goes, I don't really remember why I didn't like him, but.

[Ken]

That could be true. Yeah. Hot teachers. Bless them.

[CJ]

Bless them.

[Evan]

So I've been seeing. This is like a conversation that has been swelling up for a while. I've been seeing some tik toks and maybe some reels about it, but yeah, just dudes expressing themselves about how Much. They dislike the side by side community and they go off. But they have a lot of good points. And you know, at the end of the day I disagree with it because I love side by sides and I think they aren't the future, but they're a big part of the future.

[CJ]

Like what type of dude? I'm confused.

[Evan]

So it's like dudes that I would say they're like, you remember when Side by Sides were just like a Gatorade, you know, and they didn't. They went 35 and that was about it. And then, and then when the razors and stuff came out, it was cool. It was really cool for a little bit. And wow, okay, this is not a four wheeler.

[Ken]

It's cool.

[Evan]

And then he's like, now it's just getting out of hand. A lot of it comes down to like, I guess if you, if you don't have the money for it then of course you can complain about it. But it really has, it's came down to people spending 40, $50,000 for a OEM stock unit and now it's gone to like 40, 50, $80,000 maybe to soup up a razor.

[Ryan]

A lot of them are like 80, maybe some.

[Evan]

And some guy, they're kind of going after the guys that just drive them on the street. You know, they're pavement princesses, like side by side. Also going after the guys that are like building these $50,000 units and just rolling them down a hill like in one weekend.

[CJ]

Well, that's what they should do.

[Evan]

I was like, yeah, I can't imagine.

[Ken]

They'Re too stoked about it.

[Evan]

But yeah, it's just like he was just going off about it and a lot of good points that it's a little over the top, but I'm like, but what is it? I mean, just everything with cars you have like the guys who run the super crazy stance. I think that's lame. Well, there's going to be those extremists in every aspect.

[Ken]

But I mean, who, who's saying this? Is it like the, the banshee guy that is like probably or, or is it like a vehicle?

[Evan]

It's more like it, dude. It seemed more like the die hard quad guys. But the.

[Ken]

Yeah, I think you're a banshee guy that's got all this money into banshees and it's.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

So chromed up.

[Evan]

Or like a three wheeler guy who's just like a side by side wouldn't touch it.

[Ryan]

I drove the side by side home today and then you're Back and it was nice. It was a great cruise, except I would like a full windshield.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's a little eye watering when you're moving fast.

[Evan]

And you were allegedly going 90, that thing.

[Ryan]

I hit 94, dude. Holy. I had no freaking idea. Crazy.

[Ken]

I didn't know it went that far.

[Ryan]

I still had a little bit left in it, but I was holding my one hand. It was a little. Might be slightly bent. You pull the big jumps that you guys have done, and, yeah, that.

[Evan]

Dude, you pull a shifter car.

[Ryan]

I was thinking that. I'm like, God damn. I. It won't be the same.

[Ken]

Those things are amazing, though. Honestly, like, for what it is. You kind of just gotta respect it for what it is and ignore the fact that 50 of the time that you turn the key, something's gonna break on it. But, like, it. What you can do on it is pretty good. Ours is really good, though.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Like, I feel like we took off the metal kit or we put on a new roof, the metal roof. And it doesn't have the washers in between this.

[Ken]

That's what's rattling. But, like, you can drive that thing down the road like CJ and then you can go and jump it. Like Mike was jumping that thing, what, 100ft?

[CJ]

Yeah, that's what I mean. It's pretty amazing, though. It is an expensive unit. It literally drives like a car, has as much power as most cars, but yet has as much suspension as a trophy truck. And you can do anything with it.

[Ryan]

Solid rig.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And it's got a freaking Bluetooth radio in it.

[Evan]

I got to give a shout to Side by side blog boys for that cage. Oh, I just, like, hit him up. I'm like, dude, we need to cage. You know, Ken just injured himself this and that, and then they just hooked it up. So you guys need parts, go to them.

[Ryan]

I was gonna say, I love those guys. Got great vids, too.

[Evan]

I do, actually. Yeah, I love those guys. We've talked about them before. They're. They're a group of guys just like us. But I was. I was like a naysayer of the whole, like, live valve suspension. Like, ours is. Just has three settings, which is pretty dope. And then I know on the can ams they have like. Like, it reads 26, 000 times a second.

[CJ]

I was like, I think ours does too.

[Evan]

It seems like over presses, but, you know, seems like a lot of extra money for whatever. And then you use it and you're like, oh, this is the best thing ever. Yeah, it's comfort for whatever. Firm for big jumps. And it makes a difference.

[Ken]

Yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

There's like a whole community around here of guys with, like, rangers, and I've never seen them dirty. They just drive them back and forth to, like, the gas station because you hear them, like, whirring by when they go by, because the tire loud.

[Ken]

Yeah. You see rangers all the time now, I think.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Ken]

So do rangers get roped into the same class?

[Evan]

I think that kind of sparked it again. It was like you get. You get a bunch of guys that are using them as golf carts and. Yeah, and a lot of times, but. But at the end of the day, a lot louder, a lot faster, and a lot, you know, more aggressive than a golf cart. And, you know, you got guys hopping. Well, this thing's got ac and you.

[Ryan]

Probably do a lot more with a golf cart than most people do with a side by side Mike.

[Evan]

That's true. Honestly, I think we all do. We love around on golf carts.

[Ken]

Golf carts are some of the best vehicles ever made. They're like little chicken nuggets for the road.

[CJ]

Yeah, they're.

[Ken]

They're actually not meant for the road, but they're like little chicken nuggets with wheels.

[CJ]

Yeah. They don't have enough power to hurt themselves. Really?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

They're so dense.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[CJ]

Everything's close together. That doesn't really bend that easy. So you can really do whatever you want with them.

[Ken]

It's like Evan. It's kind of like Evan's like a human golf cart. Like, he's just kind of dense. He's built well. You can take a beating.

[CJ]

Well built.

[Ryan]

He maybe picked that up from growing up on the country club, maybe. Yeah, maybe two from the golf carts.

[Evan]

We were talking about. You know, we got a reckless golfing coming up at some point here, and. And we were talking about parking the golf cart on the greens. You know, if I were to do that, I. Maybe it seems kind of just. It does seem disrespectful, but. Okay, park it up there. It's not like you're gonna do a burnout. Evan's like, seriously, I'm not gonna be a part of that.

[Ken]

Well, he didn't want to be a part of any of the reckless golfing last year.

[Ryan]

You really did. Which.

[Ken]

Which we were very caught off guard by.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think he'd be all about.

[Evan]

It because we're like, yeah, we're like, dude, have some teas and just do. It's like three hours. That's the thing that we'll get kicked out soon.

[Ryan]

I'M worried about Grandpa Ron. If we bring him with reckless golfing, he's gonna have golf etiquette like Evan, because they like both would go golfing on the country club. And that's what we don't have. And that's why we have no sympathy when we get in there.

[CJ]

But I believe we have some form of like coarse etiquette like in all of our videos. Never any golf carts through or across the greens, like, stuff like that. We're never tearing up the lawn. You jump a golf cart off a bunker a couple times and you.

[Ryan]

No damage.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You know, I mean, it's never anything that there would be a trace of us being there. Which I believe there's art in that.

[Ryan]

I'd agree with that.

[CJ]

A taste.

[Evan]

Well, I just think we're.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Evan]

At the end of the day, we're not being dicks, like really to the property or definitely to people.

[Ken]

Yeah. We're just being reckless.

[Evan]

But going off that about Grandpa Ron, he's so locked in when he does shit. He's so locked in, you just delete everything out of his brain. And he just does it no matter who he's talking to. If you never seen him in his life, doesn't get that like, nervousness of. Well, I hope it's funny. Just goes for it.

[Ken]

If he's not on the. On his home country club turf, maybe.

[CJ]

He'Ll, you know, loosen up.

[Ken]

Won't think that way, but get him.

[CJ]

To a crappy local course. Yeah.

[Ken]

I mean, depending on when you guys are watching this, if you're watching it early, we might be reckless golfing right now. That's on the schedule.

[Evan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

Evan and I are going to need to be medicated for that.

[Ken]

Yeah. Ryan, you don't like doing that either. I feel like you just got to get a mindset. I was telling you guys, like, I think we got to start prepping like for the next, like a five day prep.

[CJ]

Prep.

[Ken]

Just get ready.

[CJ]

Get rid of all the cares in the world.

[Ken]

Yeah. Things are gonna break around here and it's gonna happen, but we're just getting in the mindset.

[Evan]

I love that idea. I'm just trying to think of, like how to do it. Because at the end of the day it really is easy to go cold turkey when you guys are doing pranks and when you're doing any of that stuff, just go. I don't care. None of these people are gonna see me ever again. Do whatever. I want that.

[Ken]

Yeah. We are blacklisted from like, mostly golf courses around, dude.

[CJ]

We were trying to go golfing last weekend, and we're like, oh, well, we could go over to this course. We're like, oh, you probably need a tea time there. We're like, well, we could go over to that local course. You don't need tea time there. Go.

[Evan]

Wow.

[CJ]

We're probably not allowed back there.

[Evan]

Pretty jammed up last time.

[CJ]

Yeah, we gotta start going. We gotta travel to go golfing.

[Evan]

Now.

[Ken]

That is a potential, though. Ev said we could maybe go up to his, but. Oh, my goodness.

[Ryan]

I mean, I don't know.

[Ken]

He sounded like more. More comfortable of the idea of that. He was like, then we could at least ask for forgiveness easier. I don't know.

[Ryan]

I don't know how that works. I think you're better off just getting in the truck and peeling out of there.

[Evan]

Yeah. The biggest thing is that. I mean, it sounds bad to say, but, like, I just don't want to get kicked out too early. They can kick us out, you know? I hope no one gets arrested. I'm not planning for that, but. Well, dude, we. It was so funny.

[Ryan]

Our.

[Evan]

Our buddy Connor the other day asked if. He's like, the next time you guys go reckless golfing, I want to come. We' that plenty of times before.

[CJ]

And I'm like, it is a common event that people want to be a part of.

[Evan]

And then Evan just. And then Evan. I don't know if he was just trying to scare him away or what, but he's like, well, are you, like, good to maybe get arrested? I was like, I'm not planning on that.

[Ken]

That's how Evan looks at reckless golfing. Like, parked within five yards of the.

[Ryan]

Green, you're getting arrested.

[Ken]

Cops are coming.

[Evan]

And then, yeah, you guys shank it.

[CJ]

Because you're a shitty golfer. Jail.

[Evan]

Forget to yell. 4.

[Ken]

That's two jails, man. I think that so many groups have came through a lot of these golf courses and done way worse things, like these bachelor parties and stuff like that.

[CJ]

Yeah. It's like people who actually truly don't care.

[Ken]

Yeah. Liquor it up, too.

[CJ]

Yeah. Once we ever talk about reckless golfing, I feel like somebody in a group will pipe up and go, oh, me and my buddies, we got kicked out on so and so's Bachelor Party. We went there and go, what'd you guys do? Oh, well, we rolled three golf carts.

[Evan]

They rolled multiple cards.

[CJ]

We left cans. Like, they just start saying some real, like, golf cart in the pond. Yeah, like, we left a golf cart in the pond. And we're like, seriously, be like, we need you to do reckless golfing. I don't know.

[Ryan]

I think we do a pretty damn good job.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

So last weekend, we. We flew up the winners of the 2 million sweatshirt giveaway that we did. So 2 million. 2 million subscribers sold a sweatshirt. Everyone that bought the sweatshirt got entered to win a weekend with us. Picked the winner, and we flew him and his buddy up. Total beauties. Total beauties. Good kids, 22 years old, honestly, just like us. Like, enjoy the same stuff. And they were just a good hang. Good hang.

[CJ]

I was telling someone that they were a little too normal for us. We like hanging out with weirdos we have the most fun with.

[Ken]

We do the weirder.

[CJ]

You are like, we appreciate it.

[Evan]

We're almost like all of our friends.

[Ken]

Right now are like, oh, that's why.

[Ryan]

So no one else hangs with me.

[Evan]

And this isn't a bad thing. I'm sure they are listening to this right now. We. We didn't meme them. We just had a genuine good time.

[Ken]

Well, they didn't meme themselves.

[CJ]

Yeah, you gotta meme yourself. Yeah.

[Ken]

And.

[Evan]

And they didn't give us any ammo.

[Ken]

Which is actually super surprising because we spent three days with them and they didn't. Yeah, they didn't leave us with anything.

[Ryan]

They were just normal dudes. Yeah.

[Ken]

They got to see the. The good, the bad, the ugly, all of it.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Ken]

They got a pretty true experience.

[Ryan]

The real experience. Yeah. So. So are we taking the Hummer pontoon out now? We ended up getting the Hummer pontoon registered as an actual homemade. As a pontoon.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So it's registered. It's got numbers. It is legal to take out on the water.

[CJ]

It is a legal boat.

[Evan]

And if we all don't know that's what.

[Ryan]

I don't know what they'll say when they see it, but. Because we'll have everything. But no, no, it's registered. It's everything.

[Ken]

We got it.

[Ryan]

We went through the work. We paid for it.

[Ken]

Just got a lot of insurance.

[CJ]

No, I don't believe you need.

[Ken]

And you don't.

[Ryan]

So we could take cars insured.

[Ken]

We could take. Maybe just leave that on.

[Evan]

It's gotta count for something.

[Ryan]

We could take that thing to sandbar this weekend, I think. I think that'd be funny.

[CJ]

Dude.

[Ken]

It would be so awesome.

[Ryan]

Everyone will be packed in there and like, we come rolling in with the Hummer. No, no, I mean at the sandbar. But.

[Ken]

Oh, yeah. I was gonna say, I don't know how many people we want. How many more people we want to be in there, we had, what, four? Honestly, you could probably put in quite a bit.

[Evan]

I think you could do 10. That's where I'd cap it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, for sure. 10 max.

[Evan]

It's fun to think of our dream of wanting to pull up to the sandbar with the pirate ship. And that's still a dream, but the next best thing is a black hummer with a pontoon connected to it.

[Ken]

Dude, the pirate ship. When people ask, like, what's your guys's long game? Like, how long are you going to do this? Till we get a pirate ship, man. That's. That's the goal.

[Ryan]

Then what? Well, we're going to sail around the world, be pirates.

[Ken]

What do you mean, then what? How much more could you do? We bought a pirate ship.

[CJ]

It's kind of end game.

[Evan]

That's what I mean. There you just become a pirate, you know? Yep. Get a parrot and cut your leg off. And I know.

[Ryan]

Well, they don't Commodore ships.

[Evan]

They get it bit off, but they.

[CJ]

Get a bit off.

[Ryan]

Yeah, sure.

[Evan]

Stereotypical thing for a peg leg. But anyway, Eye patch.

[Ryan]

Would you be a peg leg? I feel like you'd fit pretty well for, like, the peg leg.

[Evan]

Yeah, I'd do it. Is there actually only, you know how, like, in the. In the times of pirates, there's only one guy, like the captain actually get to, like, dress like that, like, with the true, like, Jack Sparrow hat.

[CJ]

Yeah. I feel like everybody else's is real grimy.

[Evan]

Yep. Just grimy.

[Ryan]

Dirty from cleaning the ship.

[CJ]

The poop.

[Evan]

Wow. Yeah, the poop deck.

[Ken]

If anyone out there has a pirate ship and they thought, hey, maybe. Maybe it's time to part ways with this pirate ship. We're in the market.

[CJ]

I. There is.

[Ken]

We're in the market.

[CJ]

There is a guy in Virginia and he makes them. His gig is buying old pirate ships. Not like real pirate ships, but old, like, you know, fun pirate ships and redoing them.

[Evan]

Wow.

[CJ]

And I hope they cost. Well, there was one that went around, and it. It was reasonably priced. It was not inexpensive. And shipping it across the country will also not be inexpensive. But, man, I tell you what, your guys's little bay over there having a big old pirate ship.

[Ryan]

It's gonna look nice.

[Ken]

Better.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ken]

The pinnacle of Pirates Bay.

[CJ]

Yeah, that'd be sick.

[Evan]

Or Pirate Butt Pirates Cove.

[CJ]

Oh, you're headed over to the Butt Pirates Bay. He's like, no, no, no, no, no, not that. How about pirate?

[Ken]

Yo, Couldn't we just get Big Wrench to make one, bro?

[CJ]

We make him a shipbuilder.

[Ken]

A big ranch could do it.

[CJ]

We need a. We need a pirate ship done by the 4th of July.

[Ken]

A big ranch. You got 48 hours. That should be enough, right? Him and Ev.

[CJ]

He's like, bending wood and stuff. I'll. I'll find that pirate ship and maybe on for sale.

[Evan]

The.

[Ken]

The issue isn't finding a pirate ship. The issue is buying a pirate ship and then being able to ship it here.

[CJ]

Yeah. And we don't really live in, like, a pirate ship territory. When you think of Minnesota, it's not really that common, so it has to be shipped from a long distance. And that's. It's really hard to get a large wooden ship long distance on land.

[Ken]

Like, you couldn't even run it up the Great Lakes. Well, you could. You could get it within four hours of us.

[CJ]

Our next RV trip is us conning in our. A pirate ship from the Gulf of Mexico up the Mississippi to home.

[Evan]

That sounds way more than like, yeah, we did an RV trip. Then it sounds more like a. I spent 50 hours camping in Antarctica. That sounds like.

[CJ]

I'm so excited about this right now.

[Ken]

How close could we get with the Mississippi?

[CJ]

Well, I mean, technically, the headwaters is just over yonder.

[Ken]

Could we actually go up the Mississippi?

[Mike]

You get to Minneapolis before there's like, a dam.

[CJ]

Pretty easy.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You can get north of Minneapolis for sure, but I'm not sure how much more north.

[Ryan]

Well, then it's not. That's it.

[Ken]

We gotta do it, dude.

[CJ]

Just. It wouldn't. Eventually, when we go no videos for like, five weeks, it's because we're traversing the Mississippi on a wooden ship.

[Ken]

How long would it take?

[CJ]

I don't know. Probably not a short amount of time. But it would be legendary. And we could just send Ken and Mike.

[Ryan]

Wouldn't be legendary with a GoPro on a stick.

[Evan]

So that. That, I guess that excites me because that means we have to get a pirate ship that at least has some accommodations. You know, it doesn't have to have, like, rooms on it, obviously, but it can't just be an open thing with just wood. Like, there's got to be. Yeah, like a sink.

[CJ]

Guys, I cannot explain to you how excited I get every time we talk about a pirate.

[Ken]

Yeah, dude, if you. I could just see us conning that bitch up the Mississippi.

[CJ]

Absolutely no experience whatsoever. Navigating a shipping channel in a large boat that we have no business driving.

[Ken]

So perfect. It's so good. I love it. Everything is just amazing about that.

[CJ]

I think we could do it, dude.

[Ken]

And then I just picture it when we're sailing in. It'd be like all of our friends and family there.

[CJ]

It'd be like Lewis and Clark or Christopher Columbus hitting America.

[Ryan]

The news is there.

[Ken]

The sure. They did it.

[CJ]

They did it. They really did.

[Ken]

Local Cormorant boys really did it.

[CJ]

And instead of being known for the jet ski jump, we're finally known for something noble.

[Ken]

Dressed as pirates.

[CJ]

We'd 100% have to dress up.

[Ken]

They just assemble.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Ken]

They disassemble it and they put it into the. The museum that's going to be built in cornbread one day around it like.

[CJ]

The frickin Yamkamp Center. Apparently the Scandinavian. The rumor has it, I think it's real that the. When the waters were high and this was some gigantic ancient lake that the. The Vikings. Vikings would come around here and they would like hook up to these different hills and like mooring points. I don't really know. I don't believe all of it. But there's a big ass ship in Moorhead that they say sailed here like huge. They built a whole building around it. So that'll be ours.

[Ryan]

We'll have that in Cormorant shaking his.

[Mike]

Head that that ship was actually built in Hawley, Minnesota. I'm sorry to trample on your parade but.

[CJ]

Well, I mean why did they build a whole building around it and make this whole thing?

[Ken]

They.

[Mike]

They like sailed the Norway back. They built it in this little potato shed and they sailed it all the way across the ocean.

[Ken]

That's legendary.

[CJ]

They deserve it. Build the building around them. I can't wait to have a little tin shed around our boat.

[Ken]

Can't stop thinking about it.

[CJ]

Me either. We gotta freaking end this podcast and go find a pirate.

[Mike]

I know the Mississippi. The only impede impedement that you have is St. Anthony Falls in downtown Minneapolis. You have to take it out, go around the falls, go back up and then you can go all the way to the headwaters.

[CJ]

Really?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Well, perfect.

[CJ]

We're gonna unload Minneapolis and then it's only a couple hundred miles interstate.

[Ken]

I can see the thumbnail already. Pulling our pirate ship with our duly Ford Rangers.

[CJ]

100% Ken. How many nautical miles is it down the Mississippi and how many locks do we have to go through and to get to New Orleans?

[Mike]

2,340. And there's nothing in between Minneapolis and New Orleans.

[CJ]

There's a bunch of locks and stuff. Right.

[Ryan]

That's going to take weeks.

[CJ]

I mean a thousand miles at what, 10 miles an hour?

[Ryan]

Oh, maybe two weeks.

[CJ]

How fast you think we're gonna go?

[Ken]

I don't know. I think we can throw at least a bigger M.O.

[Mike]

There'S 29.

[CJ]

29 locks, and that's that.

[Evan]

Yeah, that's definitely where the time hold up is, is those. I didn't even know those existed until our buddy Jet Ski down it, and he just spent. He's like, jet skis for an hour and then spends an hour in the lock, which would be unfortunate, but if it was a week, we could definitely do it. If it was two weeks, we'll have an Xbox.

[Ken]

We could do you think we could do it within five days?

[Evan]

Tempt me with that, Ryan.

[CJ]

Yeah, we're like, when we're planning the thing, we're right. We're going to edit all day Thursday. Friday, we're going to fly to Florida, hop on the pirate ship, and then drive it. And we got to be home by Tuesday night so we can edit or by Wednesday night so we can edit the video and get it live by Thursday. I'm like, guys, it is impossible to travel 3,000 miles by water in five days.

[Ken]

Evan says that. And we're just like, you, bro.

[Ryan]

You're always so negative.

[Ken]

You're always so negative.

[CJ]

Dude, we have to average 70 miles an hour on water. We're like, we'll do it. Put a 250 on the back.

[Ken]

Yeah, we look at big wrench 3, 400.

[Evan]

Do it right.

[Ken]

It's like, no.

[Evan]

Well, you guys are just asking me to mod a pirate ship. I don't do that.

[CJ]

I. I promise. I. I pinky promise I'll come back to this podcast next week with updates of a pirate ship and our journey.

[Ken]

Oh, man, Ryan, that was a tall order.

[CJ]

Yeah, but I'm spending all day in the car tomorrow with Ken driving around purchasing things from Facebook Marketplace.

[Ken]

Yeah. Good luck.

[Evan]

Wait, you guys are making moves?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

The lady at the bank today, when I drawed a significant amount of cash for a bunch of different things, she was like, what are you doing?

[Ken]

And I was like, don't worry about it. Mind your own business, woman.

[CJ]

No, but I didn't really know how to explain it without sounding ridiculous.

[Ken]

I'm kidding.

[CJ]

So I just did. But I do love the ladies over Midwest bank. Walked in belts didn't feel right.

[Evan]

Really?

[CJ]

Yeah, it's kind of a bummer they need to have the cookies.

[Ken]

Well, I'm.

[Mike]

I'm 0 for 1 on Facebook Marketplace purchases this week.

[CJ]

Ken, if we drive all the way to cities and someone's a no show, I'M going to have a freaking. I might have to walk back, have a stroke.

[Ken]

Ken, I'm very surprised that you would drive somewhere if they hadn't responded and bring Evan.

[Mike]

So. So the dude was a. A foreigner, and he was responding pretty quickly, and I just assumed, like, hey. I said, hey, can I meet you tonight? And he said, yeah. Then I said, okay, can I meet you at this time? And I was like, okay, I'm just gonna save time. Leave now. I'll get the address while we're on the way, and it'll be good. So, like, I want to bring Evan with because this dude looks a little sketch.

[CJ]

Oh, so you needed a bodyguard? Yeah.

[Ryan]

You thought Evan was gonna be able to handle him?

[Mike]

Well, he's got the hog. He's pretty big.

[Ryan]

So what, he's gonna hit him with his dick?

[Evan]

Helicopter.

[Ken]

Get.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's like this foreigner wanted sexual favors, needed to make sure he was satisfied but never showed.

[Mike]

Waste of time.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[CJ]

I mean, none of you guys commented on my shirt because we never do. But it says, wow.

[Ken]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[CJ]

We do. It says something about license to lift, and it's a forklift. But I saw a guy wearing a Hardy shirt the other day, and it said shaved and proud. Wow.

[Evan]

Wow.

[CJ]

And I went, I've worn a lot of aggressive shirts.

[Evan]

And he's talking about his sack.

[CJ]

And I don't know, I think it was about the hardy shaved meats.

[Evan]

I think of in any scenario, you'd wear that saying on any shirt.

[CJ]

And that's why I go, dude, I am. You're preaching to the choir here. But what possessed you to put on that shirt this morning and go fill your car up with gas?

[Ken]

Like, well, how about yesterday? Mike wearing his referee jersey.

[CJ]

Yeah, like, five to figure out that, like, I just looked at you. I went, good morning, Mike. Like, that was it.

[Ken]

I didn't say anything either.

[Evan]

Hey, Mike, you know, we have plenty of costumes from over the years. And I just, like, threw the ref jersey on because it was an XL and it was comfy. Oh, this is nice. And then I was like, I should probably take it off before I get roasted. Go downstairs, no one says anything. Go all day, no one says anything. Then I go, like, we go out in public, and then other people are like, you just get done with the game. And then I'm like, shit. The guys didn't roast me well enough to make me, like, really have an excuse to think of, like, taking it off.

[Ryan]

It was nothing out of the ordinary.

[Ken]

Not at all for us.

[CJ]

Speaking of shirts, Though. That's some nice merch over there.

[Ken]

Yeah, new merch drop. September 22nd.

[Evan]

As far as I know, that is the week after this comes out.

[Ryan]

September.

[CJ]

Did you say September?

[Mike]

This Thursday, bro.

[Ken]

This June 20th. June 22nd.

[CJ]

What's on September 20th.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So it's in two days from people, just podcast live.

[Ken]

Oh, man. What month?

[Ryan]

Fourth of July drop.

[CJ]

Mm, yeah. Fireworks.

[Ken]

Some good Fourth of July drop.

[Evan]

You guys already know a giveaway that you'll probably want to be entered in, so.

[Ryan]

Yeah, big giveaway.

[Evan]

You don't know what month it is. That's fine.

[Ken]

Dude, I don't know what day it is.

[Evan]

I don't even want to look at how fast summer's going.

[Ryan]

I know, bro.

[Evan]

I don't even. It's, like, sad, actually. It's one of those times when people talk about it and you get upset and you say, shut up.

[CJ]

Do you think life goes faster as you get older?

[Ryan]

Yes, 100%.

[CJ]

It does too.

[Evan]

Yeah, I think so.

[CJ]

I heard an interesting theory on that, and it was that when you are, let's say, 10 years old, a day is such, like, a large portion of your life, maybe that's backwards. When you're 10 years old, it's like a day, and it's a bigger portion of your life, but when you get older, a day is a smaller portion.

[Ryan]

Well, it makes sense if when you're older, one day is, like, a smaller percentage of the time you've lived.

[Ken]

So.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but when you're young, obviously, it's.

[Evan]

Like, oh, right, right, right. You know, And I think it goes. It goes down to, like, what you learn, you know, for. If you've been alive for four, five years and you learn X in a day, you're learning a substantial amount for how long you've been alive.

[CJ]

You guys remember anything from being five?

[Evan]

Yeah. Kindergarten.

[Ryan]

Really do. I think my earliest memory is, like, crawling around with a balloon.

[Evan]

That's actually crazy. Like, I definitely.

[Ryan]

Really?

[CJ]

That's your first core memory.

[Ryan]

I mean, I barely remember it, but I just have.

[Evan]

And you were five.

[Ryan]

Crawling like a. I don't know if I was five. I just remember it was like I had a little bell, and I was just, like, crawling, and there's balloon. It was like.

[CJ]

Baby. Baby steps.

[Ryan]

I have no idea. I mean, like, for some reason have a little bit of a memory of that.

[Evan]

Yeah. Having your first memories when you're three and four makes sense. But, yeah, if you were five, I'd be like, you missed out on something.

[CJ]

Or do you guys remember your first memory?

[Ken]

Man, I. I have certain memories back from, like, being like, 2 and 3 of, like, the moment, but not necessarily, like, what happened in it. But yeah, I remember, like, when I was 2, my dad would, like, put me on a little four wheeler. Like a Polaris four wheeler and then a snow scoot. I, like, remember driving around the lake on it.

[CJ]

Oh, that's pretty young.

[Evan]

That's pretty young, too.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Well, yeah, two's tiny.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You could drive.

[Ken]

I mean, I don't know about drive. I could go in circles.

[CJ]

That's pretty good, actually.

[Ken]

At least sit there and do something.

[Evan]

My first. My first was when I was three, and it was like the flood of 97, technically, 98.

[CJ]

You were three then.

[Ryan]

Were you sandbagging?

[Evan]

No, but I remember going on the street, just being stoked because the street was now a river, you know, like, the street was fully filled with water, and I'm just like, like, who. Who did this? This is pretty sick. And then just splash down on the street, and I'm like, I can't believe. Is it gonna be like this forever? And then they're like, no, it's flooded. I'm like, I don't know what that is.

[Ken]

Mike's crawling up on the dike, gets arrested.

[Evan]

No, dude, I just lived down, like, the road from cj. Like, the off. All of Fargo was flooded.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

I wasn't even close to the river.

[Ryan]

I remember. I wonder if there's anyone who has, like, memory of it all. Like. Like, they remember like.

[Evan]

Like popping up or, like, first day out.

[Ken]

Yeah, there's gotta be in this.

[Ryan]

Have some kind of.

[Ken]

Some. Yeah, there's gotta be. And. And I was thinking about that the other day. There's got to be people out there that can remember every single detail. Like, it's real time, like, playing it out. Like, this is exactly what I did when I woke up, and then this is exactly what I did that day.

[Ryan]

You have better memory of doing, like, a lot of the stuff we. We're doing right now. If you ever slow down, you know, you'll be able to almost, like, collect your thoughts more. Right now, it's just like, everything's going so fast.

[CJ]

I feel like in general, we just get fed so much info. Like, I. I've looked at Facebook Marketplace today, a significant amount. Like, I've looked at thousands of items. And when have you. You know, when in the past or in other parts of life, have you ever, like, had that much information just, like, thrown at you?

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah, I just saw a video about that too. Like, yeah, dudes. Like, I swear, I mean, I. I don't know. I'm not looking, but I probably consumed more content and things today than someone in, like, the 30s have consumed their entire life. Yeah, you get some radio and some dv, that's it. But then he also said something really funny. He's like, you know, like, I'm watching a video of, like, just a podcast clip, but then below it, most of the rest of the video is just, like, some mobile game that's, like, supposed to be satisfying. He's like, when did we decide that that was gonna be the way we were gonna digest content?

[Ken]

I was wondering the same thing.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

How'd we get that? Who decided that it works, though? Dude, how many podcasts have you listened? Dud with the little subway circle.

[Evan]

I disagree. I disagree that it works. As in, like, I'd listen to it either way because I think about it and it pisses me off. But then someone, yeah. Posted and was like, how we're gonna watch, like, movies in 2050, and you go to the movie theater and they're playing the. The movie in, like, this little streaming area, and the rest of it's just a mobile game replay or like, gta. Yeah.

[Ken]

Did you guys see that they're coming out with a new gta? Really?

[Evan]

I guess, Yeah, I did, but, like, to be honest. And we're talking about six here. Yeah. I never know if it's set in stone.

[Ryan]

GTA 5 came out when I was in the 11.

[Evan]

11 years ago.

[Ryan]

I think it was 2013.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

So, yeah, they've been working on it for 10 years, but essentially. But GTA 5 still makes a stupid amount of money every single day.

[CJ]

Yeah, they've been revamping as it goes, but still, it's like the same general game. If you start up the career mode right now, I'm pretty sure you play the same.

[Ken]

Yeah, I think it's all the online.

[Ryan]

There's. I mean, it's like a whole universe, dude.

[Evan]

Oh, there is more. I was always. I think the thing that wasn't selling me on GTA 5 was it the map didn't grow.

[Ken]

The.

[Evan]

The heist and the characters did online. Lots of cool stories, but the map, huge, dude. The new.

[CJ]

Look that up can. How much bigger the new GTA map is. And it's my favorite part is it's a Florida. Southwest Florida.

[Ryan]

Makes sense.

[CJ]

Yeah. Two times as big, but it looks even more.

[Ryan]

When's that come out?

[Mike]

Estimated 2025.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Ken]

Oh, so GTA.

[Evan]

Are we even gonna be around then?

[Ken]

Hopefully GTA 5 makes $2.5 million every single day. Still made a billion dollars last year.

[Ryan]

Holy. And that's an old game, dude.

[Ken]

That's 2013.

[Ryan]

People live their life, like, in that game. Like, they have jobs. Like, some people are like fast food freaking people. Some people are like pimps.

[CJ]

I've seen that.

[Ryan]

Like, some people are, like, the roles that work for the pimp. And, like, they have to, like. Yeah. It's like, all just role playing. I don't know why. I mean, it sounds kind of fun, but also, like, when I just do something in real life.

[Ken]

I don't know.

[Evan]

I think you sent it, Ryan. It was like this dude out on his yacht and he had an F40, a Ferrari F40, like, sitting on it, going to Morocco, F1, whatever. And then some tons of comments like, this is how you know you're rich. This and that. And this guy comments, I can't even afford this in gta. Which is saying something, because usually if you play it long enough, you can buy a tank if you want. Yeah.

[Ryan]

But everyone.

[Ken]

Yeah, I think with VR headsets, like, those kind of games are going to become so realistic.

[CJ]

Oh, this can be crazy. It's gonna be so cool.

[Ken]

Honestly, it really will be.

[CJ]

There's days I miss. I wish I had the time to play video games occasionally. I feel like it'd be kind of fun.

[Ryan]

I agree.

[CJ]

Like, lock in and be good. But the problem is, is now I'm so bad at them. It'd be way too frustrating. I couldn't go play Fortnite. I'd get wrecked. Yeah, I'd get. Just demolished.

[Ryan]

You would get wrecked Back in the day.

[CJ]

Yeah, when I tried to play.

[Ken]

Ken, do you still play? What is it? Plain simulator or farm simulator?

[Mike]

It's actually the lawn mowing simulator.

[Evan]

No, I thought it was a plane.

[Mike]

I haven't. I don't even remember the last time I turned my Xbox on.

[Ken]

Ken bought an Xbox and we were like, what are you going to play with that? Oh, I don't know. Only game he bought was. I thought it was. Was it plainer? Lawnmower.

[Mike]

I got the game pass. You pay like 15 bucks a month for you to never use it. It's the worst thing ever. But.

[CJ]

But you could get unlimited games.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Nice.

[CJ]

That's kind of cool. Speaking of crazy money, though, did you guys see that Happy dad? He sold 6 million cases of Happy Dad.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's wild. In two years.

[CJ]

And then now you start doing the math on. They sold it for $20 a case.

[Evan]

What do you think it cost?

[Ken]

What is this quick little bag?

[CJ]

6.

[Evan]

Like genuinely, what does it cost to.

[CJ]

$6 million times 20, I think.

[Ryan]

120 billion million. 120 million bucks on happy dad. You know, the only thing I'm confused. Why the is it not me in Minnesota yet? Like two turn. Tony has his own hard tea and it's in Minnesota already. Really? Yeah.

[Ken]

He's sending us some, by the way.

[Ryan]

Is he really?

[CJ]

Really?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Did you hit him up or what?

[Ken]

No, I don't know. His team hit us up and was like, hey, you guys want some free booze or something like that? You know, it was probably pretty basic sick. I was like, yeah, thank you, please. It is really interesting. I think there's like a lot of politics when it comes to the alcohol business.

[CJ]

I think it's super regulated.

[Ken]

It just seems strange that, like North Dakota, Minnesota, none of the states around us. I don't know about Wisconsin, but do.

[CJ]

You think it's regulated by alcohol companies?

[Mike]

Part of it's to do with, like, the alcohol distributors in different regions and all the different laws and like, who plays politics with who and triggering dumb.

[Ken]

It is cool, though. That's a lot.

[CJ]

120 million, dude, that's nuts for them already. Only after like two years. They're not even every state. They're not in Canada.

[Ken]

I think the thing about that, though, is you got to wonder how many people have, like, are a part of that pot.

[Ryan]

Oh, quite a few, I'm sure.

[CJ]

A lot.

[Ken]

It's like, definitely it's not an easy product to manufacture, and it's not an easy product to distribute, you know, like, so many people along the way are. Are getting their fingers in there somewhere out of it.

[Mike]

Average net profit on alcohol is 10 to 15%.

[CJ]

Really? So it's smaller than you'd think. It's not like a shirt.

[Evan]

But I'm sure there's things to look into and that we could benefit from it. But one thing that stokes me is that, like, we've never turned to investors. And, you know, one day we might have to. One day we might not have to. We have big ideas, but like investors with their hands in essentially your bucket.

[CJ]

That'S not scary business.

[Evan]

Scary. It can mean good things, and it a lot of times makes things possible that would never be possible.

[Ken]

But yeah, I think the thing about investors, if you're like bringing those or that kind of money in, if you need it, is like, you're probably doing something big and it's.

[CJ]

And if you have the right person who can Add more than just money.

[Evan]

If it's just money, they're not taking anything else away. Yeah, well, I, I put up 10% for this. I want like some decisions and then they like say no on one big idea and then you're like, I'm just glad we don't have to deal with it.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Just have to report to you boys.

[Ryan]

There was people back in the day that after our very first talk or whatever at.

[Ken]

They asked us to do like a TED Talk.

[Ryan]

And this one kid's dad wanted to like, asked if we needed like money for investing and for like obviously a percentage then. And we just said no.

[Ken]

But yeah, I think a lot of people listening right now too. If, if you want to start something or like, do your own thing, if you find the right bank, having a bank in your pocket can be like your greatest asset.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Like when we were trying to move into this shop and buy this shop, we're like shopping around from like a couple different banks. And like this one bank wouldn't even give us a loan for like $80,000 to buy the rest of the shop can. We had like all of it paid.

[Evan]

Off and we provided them with some very solid information and backing.

[Ken]

Yeah, yeah, it was like a fairly small amount of money that we needed to buy the rest of it against like a, you know, big asset like that wasn't asking for much and they wouldn't give it to us.

[CJ]

No. So frustrating.

[Ken]

And we like just went down the road, went to another bank and like, they laughed at that, like they couldn't believe that, like someone wouldn't. And we've been with them ever since. And like, they've taken care of us on a Friday morning.

[Evan]

Call them personal level.

[Ken]

Yeah. Need something by Friday afternoon. But like, I think that's super important. And if, if you can't get something done or if a certain bank doesn't believe in like the vision or won't give you money for, you know, some idea that you have or, or business loan, like, just go and find someone that will because they are out there.

[CJ]

My, My dad tells this cool story about when he was buying his first ever lake property. He was, he was young at the time and lake property back then wasn't like sought after. And so back then it wasn't like you put in a loan request at a bank online. You know, you drove around, you sat down, you shook hands, you put on a suit, like all that. And he said he drove from every bank from Fargo all the way down Highway 10 around and asked everybody for Money and they wouldn't give him same thing. He had more than like 50 down. They wouldn't give him this little amount of money he needed. And I may be exaggerating on how I remember it, but how I remember it is he said he was so sad. He was like almost crying or was. And the, the only thing that would make him happy is in his childhood he used to go through the Barnesville Dairy Queen and drove through the Barnesville Dairy Queen. As he was sitting there eating a peanut buster buffet, he saw another bank and he walked in there and they gave him the money. And then from there on out, it's.

[Ken]

Almost like the small town banks. If you get a personal relationship with that or with bankers like that, then it'll help you a lot more than bigger places is what we found. So anyway, it's kind of just some advice.

[CJ]

Well, business advice for you guys also.

[Ken]

Ain't nothing wrong with a little leverage here and there too. If you want to like put some money in and then loan the rest for a big idea or big purchase that you're gonna grow the business with. Like, ain't nothing wrong with that.

[CJ]

No.

[Ken]

Which I think people don't talk enough about enough. Especially with like real estate too. If you want to buy a rental house or some kind of property that's going to be making you money, put 20% down, finance the rest and then, and then have a tenant pay for, for your mortgage and have to kick.

[CJ]

Them out for smoking pot.

[Ken]

Might happen. Might happen. But like I think a lot of there's like this idea that a lot of people are afraid of debt and there is such thing as like good or bad debt.

[Ryan]

For sure.

[Ken]

Some people cannot handle that. But if it's like a cash producing asset or in our case if we were to buy something that's going to be making content, something like that. Nothing wrong with.

[Ryan]

I'd just say you better make. Sorry. I just say you better make sure it's a good. I, you know, it's a safe bet, you know, like if you're going to get a loan, like don't begin a loan for some stupid.

[Ken]

Well, I'm not telling you to go out and get like a crazy car loan at 12% but like for people that have a business.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ken]

You know, yeah, for sure.

[Evan]

I was like. Because it's easy to say it's got to be a safe bet. But I was like, calculated risk taking has got us to where we are today.

[Ryan]

Yeah. No, I'd say like, I mean going and getting a College loan and. Or getting a loan for like a business idea. Startup is about the same. Yeah, especially.

[Evan]

Yeah, especially if you put the same time and effort that you put into school if you do.

[CJ]

Exactly.

You know, I just always think of that you put a bunch of money into school, which. Nothing wrong with that. If you break down the money per class that it costs and the time, you don't even. Usually if you're going to university, you don't even want to know. And some of those classes are online and some of those classes you blow off because they're online now because of COVID And you're looking at $50 a session. Oh, you just paid $50 to sleep through class or go to class and not learn anything. Or it's maybe still learning something. It's just crazy.

[CJ]

Yeah, it is.

[Evan]

And you went to three classes today. Holy. Yeah, but yeah, you put that same into a business. I'm not saying to do that, but it could really benefit you if you have a solid stern idea that you.

[CJ]

Confident with and say you got a pressure washing company and you're like, man, I really need some money for the business. And you could buy a new trailer so you could do bigger jobs. That's a good idea. Buying. Using that money to put forces on your truck so you look cool. Not a good idea. You know, there's. There's smart, smart uses for everything. But maybe you're the guy with the pressure washing company driving around on forces and then everybody goes, that guy looks cool. I want to work for him. Don't let me tell you what to do. Tell yourself what to do.

[Evan]

Yeah, I always get a kick out of that. The guys, you know, they're starting whatever, carpenter, whatever, any business, and they're like tricking their trucks out. I don't hate it. I. I'm all for it, whatever. But like, they're tricking. Oh, the whole fleet's got to be tricked out too. My, like, I have my truck, which is gonna be the coolest. And then I have Donnie's, my right hand men. They're gonna have F250s and they're obviously lifted. They won't have forces on them, but they gotta be nice. Ain't no work. We're not doing vinyl floors here, which, like, you could just, definitely just do work trucks.

[CJ]

Yeah, I did. Like I heard our buddy Luke Paint, he has an excavating company and he has all black machines. He gets painted, he hangs American flags from them and they're always clean and stuff. And someone asked him, like, why do you spend all that money. He goes, well, I'm proud of my work, and I want my ma to show it and stuff like that. So there's. There's sides to the coins.

[Ken]

Yeah. I think there is something to be said about a guy pulling up to your house to give you a quote on, you know, some landscaping thing. And he's driving a nice truck. You can tell that he's got attention to detail, and his truck is clean. And maybe it's not overkill, but it. It looks presentable.

[CJ]

That's a good. Actually a good point. Even if you can't afford the nice truck yet, make your truck clean when they pull up. Even if it is the 90s Chevy. But if that. That's. That 90 Chevy looks like it's gotten a car wash this century.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You know, no attention to detail and.

[Evan]

Yeah, don't throw your Mountain Dew bottles and your Taquito wrappers in your passenger floor.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Or in the back of your truck bed.

[Evan]

I know a lot of people do that. Like Evan does it.

[Ryan]

We got a lot of. A lot of empty, twisted tees in the back of the SEMA truck.

[Ken]

Really?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

From what.

[Ryan]

I mean. What do you mean?

[Ken]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Evan]

I was gonna say probably end up there.

[CJ]

Who knows?

[Evan]

In the habit of cleaning that out once a week, even would do people wonders.

[CJ]

Yeah, for sure. Well, Ken, signaling to us that the cameras are too hot. We podcasted too hard today, boys.

[Evan]

Man, these summer podcasts are just getting off the charts, man.

[CJ]

We gotta crank the AC Ken's as.

[Ken]

Ken's back there fanning them in a workout. That seems like a good spot.

[Evan]

All right, subscribe. Drop on the 22nd and appreciate you guys listening.

[Ken]

That's June 22nd, guys.
