I would 100 wear audios if they came back, but they went out of business or they got bought out.
Mike
Audio, audio, audio, audio shoes.
Ryan
They were like skate shoes.
Gavin
Maybe we could buy it.
Ryan
It's gone, Mike.
Spenny
You can't just Buy companies.
Gavin
Well, you can sled next went out of business and they were for sale.
Ryan
Did you consider.
Gavin
Yeah.
Ryan
How much do you think Slednex was worth?
Spenny
They were selling for $1 million.
Gavin
I think it was worth probably less than a million, but yeah, it's definitely.
Ryan
Worth less than a million.
Mike
But they sold for a million bucks.
Ryan
They didn't sell, did they?
Mike
I think to be bought them.
Spenny
Yeah. I thought, oh, that's sick. Yeah.
Ryan
But then they just decided to do nothing with the brand. Or were they worried about them taking their like becoming competition? They might start making mono suits.
CJ
They just buy like the IP rights for the films or what?
Mike
They got an Instagram with 100k.
Dalton
Last posted 20092024 Mike, I think instead.
Spenny
Of buying things, maybe you should stop being so cheap.
CJ
There's a rumor floating around.
Spenny
Yeah, you're spending all your money and now you're going cheap on us.
Dalton
It's not right.
Gavin
Mike, I could agree with that statement potentially.
Spenny
Rumor has it that you're not having an open bar at your wedding for.
Gavin
Me to do an open bar. Like full open bar through spankies. Like, I saw their prices. Like, why are we doing like eight bucks for a vodka drink?
Mike
You know, like, so they charge you full retail on.
Gavin
Yeah, yeah. And I was like, what's. Where's the happy medium?
Ryan
Like, yeah. So how much was that gonna cost? Thousands and obviously thousands, but like more than 5,000.
Gavin
I don't know. I. I hit up two turn Tony so there'll be like unlimited two turn Tony.
Ryan
Oh, let's go. We're good then.
Gavin
To me, that's.
Spenny
How do they feel about that? How?
Gavin
How to who?
CJ
The people catering.
Gavin
That's what I thought was funny. So I was like, how does that work? And then they're just like, oh, yeah, whatever you bring is free game.
Mike
Like, sick.
Gavin
So I could just show up with a bunch of crown bottles and Grey Goose bottle, you know, like, yeah, you.
Ryan
Just need some bartenders. I would just do that.
Gavin
Then.
Ryan
Yeah, you could literally go to the liquor store and just buy a couple cases.
Spenny
That's actually the case.
Dalton
I can help you. Boo shop if you'd like.
Gavin
The weddings that I've been to where there's just a counter full of like ice and booze. That's my preferred. Like, if you can make your own drink as stiff or is not as stiff. And you're never like, who. Who do I tip here? Or how much do I tip since the drinks are free or what, Whatever. But yeah, I got like unlimited Tony's that's actually lit and I might have a lead on. I'm gonna throw back and bring some Doc X.
Ryan
That would be pretty legendary.
Spenny
It's gotta be. They quit making it five years ago. Are you sure that's not.
Gavin
It's true.
Dalton
I'm pretty sure they still sell it.
Gavin
Wisconsin drink like it always has been.
Spenny
Really?
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Oh. So Mike's wedding is sponsored by Docx. Sydney's walking down with a big X on her dress. On her dress.
Gavin
Sydney and I's favorite pop is Dr. Pepper. So then I was just like talking to doc buddy Zach and I was like, could I have some for the wedding? And he's like, yeah, that's pretty lit. Yeah.
Mike
When I heard you weren't doing an open bar, at first it gave the like gut reaction, like, oh, that's weird, Mike's cheaping out. But then I thought about it. Neither of you guys drink. So I'm like, ah, okay. Like it's one thing if like you are gonna partake in the open bar, but the open bar was literally just for the guests.
Gavin
I think it's a shame. I just kind of was like in a weird position. I was like, so for me to do an open bar, it was would be like, you know, let's say five plus thousand dollars. Or if I didn't have the Tony's, it'd be a way different story. I'd get, maybe I still could get some kegs. I would love having.
Spenny
You wouldn't pay five grand for a guest to have an open bar if.
Gavin
It was five grand, maybe. Dude, I am just absolutely shelling money out.
Spenny
Oh yeah. It's a wedding.
Ryan
Yeah. I've been watching you the last pretty much five, six years.
Gavin
Just shelling.
Dalton
You're glad you bought those cars a couple months ago, huh?
Gavin
Yes, it is.
Ryan
Good thing you bought them because it.
Spenny
Probably would have never happened.
Dalton
Are all the parts bought for the Subaru?
Gavin
Yeah, for the most part, yeah. I got one big ECU purchase I got to do here.
Ryan
I mean the two turn Tony, that's a really good save.
Gavin
I mean, shout out to them, dude.
Ryan
They were like, yeah, we got that coming in clutch. But I mean, I gotta say, at my wedding there will definitely be an open bar.
Mike
Speaking of.
Spenny
Oh.
Mike
Let'S go.
Spenny
Yep.
Ryan
I'm engaged, guys. I got engaged on about five days ago.
Mike
So five days of engagement. How is it? Is it different?
Ryan
You know, I was a big advocate that it wouldn't be different because Alex and I had been dating for six years. But I will say it actually is different now.
Spenny
It does change things.
Ryan
It does change things. It does feel different, really. I was a big advocate that it wouldn't feel different. I was like, I mean, nothing's changing. We still live together. We still all these things. But it does. It does feel different.
Spenny
You look at things differently now that you're like. You do.
Ryan
But I'd say I just feel like a little bit more connected.
Spenny
Yeah. Congrats.
Ryan
Yeah, it was pretty exciting, so.
Gavin
And you pulled it off.
Ryan
Yeah.
Gavin
Dalton was hidden in a ghillie suit, as usual.
Ryan
Dalton, the freaking warrior soldier, whatever you want to call him.
Dalton
It was hot out too. It wasn't it?
Ryan
Yeah, I was sweating. Dalton was really sweating.
Mike
So you got him in the ghillie suit?
Ryan
Yeah, he was ghid up. He was in the woods. The neighbor sent me a picture so funny of him, like, ghillied up, like, hey, you know? But there's so much weird stuff that goes on over there. It's not that that far fetched, you know, so he's. They're just used to it.
Spenny
They were probably like, oh, damn, dude. CJ's really popular now.
Ryan
He's got paparazzi sitting there. But yeah, he sent me a picture of Dalton posted up. We'll pop it up on the screen. But yeah, it went good. So I had this plan. It was initially, I was going to get a dog. I had this dog all set up, and it was going to be delivered from Florida. It was like an English bulldog. And she. We've always wanted English bulldog. I was gonna get this dog. He was gonna probably poop in the yard. And then I was gonna do it there. And Dalton would have been there filming.
Spenny
He was gonna have the dog eat.
Gavin
The ring, wait for him to poop.
Mike
I don't know.
Spenny
I had a poop in the yard.
Ryan
Have Alex sift, and we were gonna film it and stuff. And how did the poop.
Spenny
Well, I just figured it'd be like.
Ryan
I would get her out in the yard because. Or I just. He doesn't need to poop. But I'd be, oh, my God, look at this poop out. You better double check.
Spenny
You know, now that you say this, it's probably good you didn't go, That's a little runny.
Ryan
Like, you think he's getting, like, eat something weird. I don't know.
Spenny
Nothing says love like sifting through your dog's.
Ryan
Yeah, well, it wouldn't be poop. It'd just be me.
Mike
No, you should have had the dog eat the ring and then you could have gotten it out of the pool and savage.
Ryan
Yeah. So basically end up pulling out on that just because a dog is so much work. And I don't know who would have taken care of it because I'm always gone.
Dalton
And she works.
Ryan
Is bummer because I was a sick dog. But anyway, so then I pulled an audible, and, you know, I was a little bit more freed up because I wasn't tied up to having to do it with this dog and making a video segment out of it, too. What she actually said after I pulled out on the dog, she's like, just don't, like, feel. Film it for a video. And I was like, okay. Yeah, I would never. So anyway, she was getting after me because there was, like, some sticks and stuff in the yard. And she's like, hey, you should pick those up. You should pick those up. There's, like, some weeds growing. Pluck those weeds. You know? And then I just kept putting it off, like, for three days, which is unlike me. And then till that Thursday when I was planning on doing it, so I had Dalton all stanced up in the woods. I went and picked up the sticks and the weeds, and I, like, dropped my keys. We had it set up where we were going to go out to dinner with her family, so that way she'd get ready. So it comes time to, like, get going, she gets all ready. For the first time ever, she's. She's ready, like, 30 minutes in advance.
Mike
Oh, man.
Ryan
Yeah. Which never really happens. Sorry, Alex, but it just never really happens. She's like, let's go over to my parents. We can all ride together. I was like, oh, man, my stomach. Like, I'm not feeling good.
Dalton
So you were the one pooping, not the dog.
Ryan
So then I just went and sat in the bathroom. I didn't even have to or anything. I just literally just sat there on the toilet, like, scrolled on my phone for, like, 20 minutes because I was waiting for Dalton to get there and, like, get situated. Then he was finally situated. So then I went out. All right, let's go get in the truck. Oh, my keys are gone. You know, I must have dropped them when I was picking up chicks.
Gavin
That was a huge part of your plan, was dropping the key? I can't leave without them. I just was curious. Did she just hit you with a let's just take my car?
Ryan
No, she didn't. I was just, like. I was, like, really frantic. I was like, we need to find them. I don't want to lose these. So then I get in the yard and it's like 92 degrees out and I knew exactly where I had to do it. But I'm like kicking around and she's standing on the concrete. I'm like, hey, like come help me look. You know, like we need to go. I need two people sifting through this. And she's like, it's hot. I'm going to start sweating. And then she's like, dirty too. I don't want to get dirty. Like, she's like, just got ready for dinner. I'm like, just help me out. Just help me out. Since finally gets over there. And then I just hit her with it and it went super smooth.
Spenny
Did you black out a little bit? You say everything that you wanted to say or did you think so?
Ryan
I might have went a little short, but I hit most of the points. Definitely did black out. I wasn't really nervous. I was just excited flat out the whole day of. And leading up to it.
Gavin
But then right before it.
Ryan
Yeah, right before is a little nerve.
Spenny
Wracking, a little shake.
Ryan
But I was nervous like a few days prior just because I was trying to line up all the details.
Spenny
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not necessarily nervous about what she's going to say. It's nervous about making it go right. Yeah. And there's so many moving parts of like making sure.
Ryan
I just wanted to go right and like her to be genuinely surprised. And she was, she was not expecting it at all. Which is exactly what I wanted.
Spenny
Yeah.
Ryan
And went perfect. Then I just had the sprinter van pick us up. Picked up her family, went out to dinner and then went home. It was pretty chill. And then everyone came over for the 4th of July except my cheap ass cousin bought a cheap bottle of champagne. And he even knew it. It was wrong. He was like, right away he's like, I'm sorry. I got the cheap. I don't know why I fucking.
Gavin
Oh, is it 8.95?
Ryan
Just got the cheap champagne. Cheap.
Spenny
Oh, dude. Okay. So like what Cheap cousin. Yeah.
Ryan
He even said right away, he's like.
Spenny
That'S what it's, bro.
Ryan
I don't know.
Gavin
Dead ass champagne intrigues me because it can cost like, you know, like two. I guess it's like wine. 50 bucks or literally $5.
Spenny
So whenever we have a big moment, like when we hit a million subscribers, we got this bottle of Dom. When we got our boat from U Motors, we bought the. The owner of U Motors and the general manager bottle of Dom.
Gavin
Our first milestone in sales. I remember that.
Spenny
Yep. First million dollars bottom bottle of Dom, right? And then you write on it like, first million dollars, first million subs, whatever the moment is. And it like a bottle of Dom is like a four hundred fifty dollar bottle of champagne. The champagne tastes the exact same, but it's what the bottle represents, which is just cool because then you just put it on the shelf and it's just like a piece of memorabilia, right? Well, I go to the liquor store, right, with like full intentions on buying it. And then I'm standing there with Greta and she doesn't quite think the same way that I do of like, you know, recklessly spending money for a good, good bit. Yeah, good bit. And she was like, oh, just get this then. And she got like the hundred dollar.
Gavin
Bottle of like, oh, that's not cheap.
Spenny
Yeah, but it's not that, right? And I was like, you know, okay, yeah, because. Got that. And then I was in the line and I literally look at Greta, I go, I'm such a cheap piece of shit. And she's like, what? What are you talking about? I was like, I'm such a fucking terrible cousin. I'm buying a hundred dollar bottle of. Of champagne when I should be buying that. And then I was telling her all the occasions, I was like, we bought it for this. We bought it for. That's what. It's not the money.
Ryan
It's just the fact that we've set the precedent of what is what we always get. And then it was like, oh, this one, this time is not worth that.
Spenny
And then she was like, she was like, I think, I think they'll still app it. And I go, man, so you were.
Mike
At the liquor store and you second guessed?
Spenny
Yeah, right.
Ryan
When he took it out to me, he was like, I'm sorry I cheaped out.
Gavin
Yeah, it was bad.
Dalton
Like you didn't turn back in the liquor store because Greta might be upset.
Spenny
We were running late. It was like a ton of people. There was a long line and I was just like, ah, it. I'm a piece of. I'm gonna just buy. I'm gonna cheap out and do this.
CJ
If anything, the bottles of Dom are the most convenient thing you can buy at the liquor store because it's right behind the counter too.
Ryan
Well, don't worry, I didn't expect anyone to get it for me. So I just went and bought one myself.
Gavin
I brought my own champagne too.
Ryan
And then I popped that. Wasted half of it just by spraying it. And that was that.
Mike
But it was pretty lit. That actually reminds me when I was kind of a part of the like, after party for Micah's proposal, I went to the store to buy meat for burgers.
Dalton
And somebody say, burgers, burgers.
Mike
And I just was an idiot. And I was looking at the meat and I was like, do I get the lean beef? Do I get the non lean beef? But for burgers you're supposed to get the meat with more fat cuz it sticks together and it tastes good. I got the lean meat and the burgers were dry.
Spenny
You ruined the party. I remember that.
Mike
Yeah.
Spenny
Do you remember how everyone had a terrible time?
Gavin
These burgers?
Spenny
Yeah.
Mike
No, but I remember biting into it and I go, I bought the wrong burgers. And then I was like all bummed out of myself for it. But he never knew until now.
Ryan
It's all good. I'm happy Ben did that. It made it funny.
Spenny
It was funny. I'll tell you what, I won't make that mistake again. In the back of my head I thought maybe one of the other boys bought one. I was like, ah, Ken maybe bought one, showed up. Ken, what you buy him? Oh, I just gave him a firm handshake.
CJ
I walked out the door, said, hey, congratulations guys.
Ryan
And he didn't even shake my hand. He walked out the door, just set.
Mike
It to the ring doorbell when destroyed the toilet.
Gavin
I gotta tell just like little proposal story that I thought was so funny. So Sydney's friend, friend of a friend, friend, they got engaged and they're like cow farmers. And you know, there's some interesting engagements out there. You see our proposals, I should say, you know, some people do in public, some people do it totally wrong. Totally right. Totally huge, totally small. But this couple was cow farmers and they were like tagging calf. So you know, they punch a little hole through the ear, tag it. And in order to do that you like put a knee down on the calf and then tag it. As he's doing that, he pulls the tag up and the tag says, will you marry me? And then he's like on his knee. And the photo is of him on his knee on a calf. What, the neck? Yeah.
Mike
Actually kind of awesome. The tag was a nice touch though.
Gavin
You got as cow farmers. I bet they love that. Their family's going to love that. That's funny. But for everyone else.
Ryan
But don't know.
Gavin
Yeah, I know.
Spenny
Little if you.
Dalton
God damn it. I was going to say it, but then I figured you can't Gemini.
Mike

Ryan
Here's something funny that happened the next so then we celebrate on the 4th of July. Everyone goes home that Saturday we go to go see my family because we haven't, like, seen them in person yet. And we pull up and, you know, eat breakfast and all this. And my mom's side of the family comes over. So everyone's there, and let's take a picture. So we all go outside, we're on the deck, and we're like, line up. Take this picture. And my brother goes, what are those? And everyone looks down, and there's a pair of woman's underwear on the deck. Woman's under, like, like, you know, like, kind of like, not necessarily super lingerie, but in between. It's a thong, not what Mike had in his dress. And I'm like, what the. Like, where did those come from? I'm thinking, like, I'm even confused. Oh, my God. Picks them up. Turns out they were in her pant leg from doing laundry. But it fell out when she was walking. Yeah, because, like, laundry was in her pants. And then it must have fallen out. And then it was pretty funny or whatever. So then we get in the car and she starts telling me this story. She goes, oh, my God. Just was telling me last week that happened to her at church.
Spenny
I go, holy.
Ryan
That happened to her walking down at church. But, yeah, I mean, so it happens a lot, but it was super funny.
Gavin
Yeah. If you could drop a dryer sheet out, but instead you drop a. Yeah.
Ryan
I mean, well, they're just, like, small, you know, like, they just get crumpled up, but.
Mike
So you guys kind of celebrated on the fourth go.
Spenny
Good.
Ryan
Yeah, you wouldn't know. Ryan didn't show up.
CJ
You know those people that actually like celebrating our. Our independence?
Mike
I do, everyone.
Spenny
We're proud of our country.
Gavin
No, that's what we celebrated. Independence. But we shamefully did not celebrate CJ's engagement.
Dalton
Yeah, I shot Nikki in the neck with a Roman candle. On purpose or no accident. How do you burned her dress?
Ryan
How do you manage that?
Dalton
Well, I was actually shooting Roman candles at the kids that were fishing at the end of the dock. So I figured if it went bad enough, they just jump in the lake. So I set the Roman candle on the dock, and I was holding it with my foot. It was just kind of shooting at their feet. And I think there were eight shots, and I must have thought there were five. So I took my foot off it, the next shot flipped it 180 degrees, and Nikki's sitting, like, five feet away, and it just blasts, like, burnt. She has, like, I don't know, what's, like, a little dress thing that you wear over your Swimsuit kind of COVID Yeah. Real thin material. So that's all, like, charred and burnt. Like, hit her and went up her neck. So she had, like, a little.
Spenny
Jesus.
Dalton
Not like a bad burn, but, like, all kinds of little, like, sparky.
Spenny
Oh, I can't imagine her reaction, Evan.
Dalton
What the. Yeah, she acted like I intentionally did it.
Mike
It wasn't my fault. Normally, Roman candles only have five shots.
Ryan
He did on purpose. Yeah.
Spenny
Yeah, it makes sense. You were technically. I mean, you were gonna hit someone.
Dalton
Yeah, but it was funny. It was like an old Western. I was young. Dance, dance. You know, you shoot at their feet and then they jump around. It was all good fun.
Ryan
Yeah.
Dalton
Dude.
Spenny
Fireworks are just a recipe for disaster. Because us being an example of, like, doing crazy shit every single week. Right. For these videos, it might be in a different form or fashion, but there's usually a lot of risk involved. Right. Most people living their average lives aren't doing risky shit on the daily.
Gavin
Right.
Spenny
The riskiest shit you're doing is driving to work, maybe in your car. So when you get, like, people that aren't doing a risky stuff and then fireworks, I feel like it's just a recipe for disaster.
Gavin
Yeah.
Mike
And you throw in a full day of drinking before, so they're pretty fearless.
Spenny
Like, things are going to go wrong.
Gavin
I always. Yeah. I say, like, the. The people who aren't safe or shouldn't be allowed fireworks are the same people who shouldn't be allowed to own side by sides kind of goes hand in hand.
Spenny
Kind of one of the same, honestly.
Gavin
You know, there's just people that just shouldn't be in, like, false confidence. 200 horsepower, side by sides.
Spenny
There's like, a certain length of watching fireworks where it's, like, cool. And then after a while, it's like, all right, what are we doing here?
Ryan
We're standing here for, like, an hour and a half watching them pop.
Mike
Yeah.
Spenny
And then when it does, like, a little bit more and you just hear like, oh, wow.
Ryan
When they're just popping and they're really loud and you feel them in the chest like that.
Mike
Yeah, the big ones.
Ryan
That's pretty. There's something about. There's a dopamine release.
Spenny
I feel like fireworks are just getting, like, more and more advanced now. You got, like, fireworks to music and it's all, like, choreographed, right? Yeah. It's like just becoming more and more of a production.
Ryan
Yeah. It is crazy. You're kind of just watching a bunch of bombs blow up in the air, like.
Spenny
Yeah.
Mike
When you're drunk. Uncle Timmy lighting Them off, you know, in the driveway.
Spenny
We went through a firework phase. It's probably good that we stop because, like all of our videos started getting demonetized by YouTube. They didn't like fireworks, so we. We stopped playing with fireworks kind of. But it was like progressively getting crazier and crazier because our friend tent would have like M80s on steroids. They were like coming in like the size of like a toilet paper, like roll. It would come in that, packed in it with a fuse that was just long enough for you to run away from it really fast. Yeah. So like what do we. We blew up the garbage can in our HOA parking lot, feet in the air. And then we blew the jet ski up, Blew the couch up the couch.
Gavin
The cushion landed on the roof. We found that incredibly satisfying.
Mike
We left that cushion up there till the blew it down.
CJ
We were so lucky that jet ski didn't break anything. Like that thing went so high and there was so much buildings everywhere, cars everywhere.
Ryan
We just always were like, eh, fuck it, we'll risk it. Just roll the dice.
Gavin
Yeah, yeah.
Spenny
Everything we did was like also in our old shop development that was like an hoa. So it was surrounded by like other shops that people owned. And so like when things went wrong, they were just landing on. On other people's roofs.
Gavin
This is what I think we should do. I say we push the limits. And I'm sure this is one been done before. Obviously in this video you see it. And two, everyone's had this idea. You get all your mortars, your cakes, your big cakes, whatever you want more. So cakes. And then you just get all your buddies like we have and you light them off all at once.
Ryan
Yep.
Gavin
I said that actually, dude, is so satisfying.
Ryan
When we were watching the fireworks show me Ryan, Randy, I said, what would the most fireworks ever lit off at once was.
Dalton
A lot went off at once.
Gavin
Oh yeah, that was like a full blown, like explosion. Gas explosion.
Spenny
I want to do that.
Dalton
Do the mad in the toilet.
Spenny
See, that is sick. It's like, why waste everyone's time of like, all right, at the end there's gonna be this huge payoff and that's what you're waiting for. Well, you might as well just. Just do it right away. Give them the pay.
Dalton
And Evans theory.
Mike
The city of San Diego show just bl all their fireworks at once.
Gavin
So they actually. Yep. So they actually did that and probably set a record.
CJ
Not intentional, but intentionally.
Gavin
But yeah, look at that. You can't even see anything.
Spenny
Yeah. So there's definitely A sweet spot.
Gavin
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Mike
For my dad to experience. We went to a fireworks show that was, like, plenty long, and he was like, oh, okay, I get it now. Like, it's only fun for so long when you're watching. When you're lighting them off, you can pretty much just do it all night. It's pretty fun, right? But when you're the one watching.
Spenny
I think I'm gonna have fireworks at my wedding, and I want to do it big, very short, and I'm gonna have you guys doing it.
Ryan
Oh, that'd be lit.
Gavin
I would love to. Would love to.
Mike
Heaven's like hell.
Dalton
Yeah.
Mike
You hear about.
Ryan
Evan's gonna aim it towards the crowd. I thought they were gonna dance.
Dalton
It's gonna spice it up a little bit.
Mike
I think we have some extras left over. I don't know.
Gavin
I wasn't gonna say it. I was like, I. I was gonna bring fireworks, too, but.
Spenny
Are fireworks expensive? I've never bought fireworks.
Gavin
I. I haven't either.
Dalton
Expensive enough that when they go off in, like, 30 seconds, you're like, damn, that was like, 100 bucks.
Mike
Yeah.
Dalton
20 seconds.
Spenny
So 100 bucks for a firework.
Mike
Like, a good. A good cake is like, 130. You can get some couple cakes that are like, 200 some. Something like that.
Dalton
It's like the classic thing, though, where the prices are astronomically high. And then the guy with an eye patch, missing fingers, selling them to you.
Ryan
He'S going to be, oh, but I'll.
Dalton
Give him to you. Yeah, 40% off.
Spenny
Oh, there's always.
Dalton
You're in there, like, crunching numbers, and you're like, buy two, get one free. And then.
Gavin
Yeah, so I was.
Mike
Yeah, you get three of them. You get the fourth of the combo.
CJ
You can only buy it for, like, two weeks out of the year.
Ryan
Ryan, how much do you think that fireworks show cost that we went to?
Mike
I know. Actually, how much was $15,500?
Gavin
That's, I guess, higher.
Ryan
That was really cheap.
Mike
Fireworks get for what? It was blown out of proportion because everybody watches a show and goes, wow, dude. Yeah, I heard the Lake association spent $23,000 on that. And then they go. Someone goes, yeah, you hear the Lake association spent 30 grand on these fireworks? And then someone goes, well, 30 grand, that's damn near 50. And then before you know it, the Lake association spent 150 grand on fireworks. Yeah, because the DL Beach. They posted in the paper, the DL beach had a certain amount of fireworks.
Gavin
It's cool they disclosed that, but. Yeah, I was wondering if it was Like Halloween candy. Like now can I go in and get fireworks? Like how cheap? Or do they just.
Mike
Yeah, it's a good question actually.
CJ
If you buy them now, but you don't use them till next year, do they go bad?
Dalton
That was one thing I was scared about is my Roman candles I was using. Some of them were like ancient. Six, five. Six years old.
Spenny
Oh, they're blowing out the sides.
Dalton
No, they never had a problem. But I actually set up a couple steel pipes to put the Roman candles in. So I attempt to not lose a hand. I was nervous, but I was like, gotta do something. Do a couple in the campfire too. That's always makes for a fun game of roulette.
Gavin
I don't know if Rome.
Spenny
At what point is it a weapon?
Dalton
Oh, it is just, dude, to me that's what fireworks are fun for. Blowing the stuff up or shooting your buddies with the Roman candles. But I mean, it's cool seeing them go up. But as far as me purchasing them, it's like you'd have to spend so much money to like impress your buddies. It's just like, I'll just buy $50 Roman candles and shoot my buddies rather than try to impress.
Ryan
More fun or kind of fireworks.
Gavin
I mean, we've been talking about fireworks for a while, but kind of back to what you said. When we blow stuff up, we've had more fun with let's say 20 mortars. 20 total mortars. And some. Some oversized M80s than, than we've ever had spending or someone else spending money.
Mike
Multiple thousand. Just.
Gavin
Just getting yourself a good mortar. Like 3 inch or 2 inch mortar or bigger if you can get it. And like launching like three of them off is the most satisfying thing ever. Especially when you put it in something and then explode it.
Spenny
Think of that guy that spent $15,000 on the fireworks, just like had a party and then when everyone was leaving, just gave everyone like 500 bucks. I would be like the equivalent, like, all right, did you have more fun watching the fireworks or would you take.
Gavin
The 500 bucks more than 30 people?
Ryan
If you were like, everyone would take the 500 bucks.
Mike
A big family, you know, like a big family event. If you're like a local, one of the big dogs around here, instead of it, you like auctioned it off to your friends and family. Or like there was a drawing where one person walked away with the 10 grand that it cost to throw. Like, think how lit that would be. Everybody would be vying for a ticket to the party. They'd be bringing you little gifts Hoping for a little extra luck, you know.
Ryan
Like, maybe you should do a raffle system at your wedding or just raffle.
Spenny
Off some money and then, like, auction.
Ryan
When you pay them, you should just pull your wallet out and, like, give them money out of your wallet to make it feel really weird. It's like, you know, it's different when you get it right out of the wall.
Spenny
I feel good about this.
Ryan
Yeah, congrats.
Gavin
That would be pretty funny to raffle off money.
Mike
Well, have you seen the things where people will do auctions for, like, which table gets seat first and stuff like that?
Gavin
Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
Spenny
Give away a pit bike.
Gavin
When we hit, we hit, like, pouring beer into it.
Spenny
Give away a pit bike at your wedding, Mike.
Mike
Yeah, Sell a raffle or something.
CJ
Get the drift car. BMW you're trying to get rid of.
Mike
There you go.
Spenny
Oh, come on now. What, are they gonna have to push it out of the driveway, by the.
Gavin
Way, turd get entered.
Ryan
No one enters.
Gavin
Yeah, literally, I have 211 guests.
Mike
211. You each get them to buy a thousand dollar ticket.
Gavin
Thousand dollars.
Mike
Give away a Lambo.
Spenny
Oh, yeah. Give away a Lambo.
Ryan
Yeah, you could. And just say none of the profits are going to me. It's just.
Mike
There is no profit.
Ryan
Oh, wait.
Spenny
I'm gonna just do something.
Ryan
Thousand dollar entry. That's insane, though. That's insane. That's a lot.
Dalton
I saw fair when I was a kid where they had a car where there was a few cars, and you pay, like, $5 and you got to hit it three times with a sledgehammer. But you should do that with the BMW at your wedding, dude.
Gavin
There we go.
Spenny
Recoup some of your costs. That's actually.
Dalton
Probably make more than it's worth.
Gavin
Yeah.
Dalton
Smashing it with a mallet.
Gavin
I would charge more for the first couple hits because breaking the windows.
Spenny
Yeah, that's actually a good idea. We got a bunch of good ideas flowing right now.
Mike
I love it.
Spenny
Like, these are all good ideas. I might save that one for my wedding.
Gavin
That's good. He's writing Give Pipbike away.
Mike
Speaking of the weddings, it's been a tough situation for Lana and I, and I think it's harder for girls. But now that everybody's getting engaged, obviously Lana's like, damn, we're the last one I can get. So I've been, you know, trying to up my game and trying to be.
Spenny
Yeah, right.
Mike
Well, I'm just trying to, like, show that I'm making an effort, you know? So, like, she doesn't feel. Feel like I don't care about her.
Gavin
Right.
Ryan
Fair to your defense, you have been dating the least amount of time though.
Mike
Exactly. So anyway, I sent her flowers today and then I put a little card on it that said, you know, like, hey, get ready for this date tonight. Your secret admirer, you know, trying to like do whatever. No. Cuz then I'm going to just pick her up and we're going to go on this date and you know, just be like funny. Right. I'm just trying to be funny. Which I'm not. So anyway, I just get a text from her. I've been waiting for her to get these flowers all day. She goes, lol, I kind of got. She works in marketing. Lol. I kind of got mad at the Pinterest team yesterday and they sent me flowers, sends a picture of the flowers. I go, huh, weird. Is there a card? She goes, oh wait, it's from the. It's from the team I work at with Pinterest. They sent them to me double doubles.
Gavin
Down that they weren't from you.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mike
Now she goes, oh wait, ha. It's from. From you.
Ryan
That's funny.
Mike
But I'm just like, damn, hold on.
Spenny
I think I have a stalker.
Dalton
Or maybe she wouldn't show you at all because it said secret admirer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gavin
That would be the biggest.
Ryan
You come home, all the flowers gone. Didn't get anything today? No, no, nothing.
Mike
I like, look at my email. It's confirmed.
Gavin
They have a picture of it on your front.
Spenny
Yeah. Must have been delivered to the wrong doorstep. Signed by.
Gavin
Yeah, airbags. Now, Ben, you were actually. Evan, I don't peer pressure many people, but I'm. I regret not peer pressuring you that day.
Dalton
No, it was like spending was on a mission to do a backflip on a pit bike and I just wanted to session the airbag so I figured there was no reason to do it in like that small window.
Gavin
Yeah, you kept saying that I don't want to jam you up, but like there was. We were just standing around. I just regret not peer pressuring you, but I know you can go.
Dalton
Want to go right after this?
Gavin
Sure.
Dalton
All right.
Gavin
I know that you are gonna do it, so. But we got airbags at the compound and then Spenny. Yeah, he hit it one time on the BMX and then was like, yep, I'm good for flips. Threw like 10 more flips after that. The next day, flew through another 10 and then did it on the pit bike.
Spenny
It is sick. Congrats on the Airbag, Mike.
Gavin
Thanks, bro. And then I did a backflip on a bmx. Nothing to write home about, but still, I've never been upside down successfully besides in the pond that one time. So it's just fun. And I, and I said this in the video too. Like it opens up a lot of possibilities for what you can do and what you like, hopefully can learn. And it also does open up a lot of possibilities to get hurt because like without the airbag, you wouldn't be upside down really at all.
Dalton
The airbag is just, I still think it's a little bit of false security, honestly. Like it's, yeah, 10 times softer than the ground. But I still think water or a foam pit is much more forgiving than the airbag.
Spenny
I'd agree.
CJ
Like just watching, I think it was one time Spenny like lost control of the bike and it was like, okay, if the bike didn't go a little to the left and he went a little right, it would have still hurt super bad having that land on you.
Ryan
I still think landing head first on this airbag is gonna be into a foam pit or clear water for sure. Water is gonna be the most forgiving.
Gavin
But water is just so much more work. You're dealing with a wet bike, you're all wet every hit, you know, like this we get a dry run in it. This we, we dealt with. The bag was probably like what, 125 degrees, baking the sun.
Ryan
But the thing with the bag though is you have obviously of the square bag, but then you have the landing so you can roll out and actually land it.
Gavin
Yeah, the landing airbag scares me more than anything because the big square one that we got, you just land in the middle of and you know things can go wrong. But chillin, you just land in the middle of it. But the angled one, if you like happen to land on the top and bounce to the bottom. And this one's not even that big. Like if you bounce from the top to the ground.
Spenny
Oh yeah.
Dalton
Is it 10, 10ft tall is the big one.
Gavin
Yeah. And then the eight foot magazine.
Dalton
Yeah.
Mike

Mike
Did you. Did you end up hitting a flip?
Dalton
F Went for one the night before and we set it up and probably should have hit the ramp a couple times. Like, Mike went right. I went straight for the backflip. And I was used to doing it off a ramp with no pop. And this ramp is literally a quarter pipe, so I, like, set myself. Dude, my bike went, like, 10ft backwards. Well, maybe not. Oh, whatever. Kind of like, he didn't work at all.
Gavin
Flailed into the bag, and then we had enough time to go. Oh, that's probably not good for the bike. Yeah.
Dalton
Like, I had landed on my head. Composed myself enough to hear my bike.
Gavin
Yeah.
Dalton
Landing and then getting throttled.
Spenny
Yeah.
Mike
You think you're working with, like, a backflip block right now?
Dalton
No, no, no. I don't really get that.
Spenny
I had it for a long time.
Mike
Really?
Spenny
Yeah. I used to backflip, obviously, on the tramp. I was trying to do it, like, on the ground and stuff for, like, flip wakeboard, backflips, skiing backflips, and then backflip on a ski, two skis, snow ski.
Mike
Oh, sorry. I was like, water skiing. I was like, how the you do a backflip?
Spenny
My bad, my bad.
Dalton
And then sick, though. We should look into that.
Spenny
I can't remember. Something just happened where then you get afraid of going upside down, and then you just lose everything. Like, it's like one sketch a million times that you've done it out the window, and you forget how. How it's done.
Mike
Who actually has a pretty surprising backflip is cj. You got a good rotation of a backflip on a trampoline. Sorry to, like, say surprising, but, like, I don't know. You're not really built like a gymnast, you know, so, like, for you to run up on a trampoline, just rip.
Ryan
I used to do a lot of back backflips back in the day. I could. I could backflip a wakeboard easier than, like, jumping away almost just because it.
Mike
Oh, yeah.
Ryan
It almost would just kick you into it. But, yeah, I spend a lot of time on trampoline. I could still rip a backflip on a trampoline, but we don't have one for good reason. That's not that.
Spenny
Well, yeah, last time, yeah, the tramp had to go down the road when my girlfriend was doing front flips.
Ryan
Yeah. She landed on the side of it.
Spenny
Landed a little front heavy in the springs. Landed front heavy and then rocketed forward and then hit her nose on the ring. And it was so bad. It was so bad. Like, broken nose. Like, right straight into the hospital. Black eyes, swollen raccoon. So bad. It was before you around, and we had the trampoline inside at our old.
Ryan
Shower net or anything just indoors.
Spenny
We were just like, february, this is the greatest thing ever. We have three.
Gavin
Three garage bays, give or take, and the trampoline took up two of them and the hot tub took up the other.
Mike
That was a wild time in our old shop.
Spenny
Like, when we had the tramp, though. It was the tramp and the hot tub inside, and we were just like, why did we not do this the second we moved in?
Gavin
I don't know.
Dalton
When I first started here, there was still a trampoline in the yard back lounge, but the wind tucked it and tossed it up into the pine tree.
Spenny
And we just left it there for, like, three months, crumpled up.
Dalton
The most use they got was when I was dragging it 20ft over so I could mow where it was sitting.
Gavin
We use it first. We took some corny ass merch photos on it once.
Spenny
Dude, I watched a crazy YouTube video the other day. It was our buddy OG Chauffin that we met at Rednext with paychecks, and it was him progressively getting more and more drunk and trying to drive around this racetrack.
Dalton
Dude, Jake just hit me with that idea, like, two weeks ago. And this guy did it.
Ryan
Yeah, I think he did it a while ago.
Dalton
Maybe Jake was ripping him off.
Spenny
I don't know, though. Like, I. I watched. It was wild, actually. Like, he's a really, really good driver, good wheelman, and, like, he could barely drive around the track.
Mike
Is he a lightweight, though?
Spenny
No, he drank, like, an insane amount.
Mike
Was he drifting or just trying to, like, run a fast line?
Spenny
He was just trying to run a fast line.
Gavin
It sounds really fun, but he was.
Spenny
Like, spinning out, like, almost drifting into the wall, like, ending up backwards on the track multiple times.
Mike
Oh, my gosh.
Spenny
Yeah.
Mike
How hard would be to find a track?
Spenny
That's what I was wondering. Like. Like, what track is. Is letting this happen.
Mike
That's awesome, actually, though, I don't know.
Spenny
If it's, like, a European thing that they're just more relaxed over there, but.
Gavin
Or if there's, like, dollars talk.
Spenny
Yeah, I mean, I'd imagine either way, you got to rent it out, but still.
Mike
So. So how'd it go? Like, what. What happened to him? What'd he do?
Spenny
Oh, like, he just got hammered at the end, and, like, he could literally barely drive around the track.
Mike
Someone riding with him? Because that would be the terrifying.
Spenny
Yeah, someone was riding with him, and he. He was like, I am never hopping in a car with you. Again, I guess if you're that hammered. Yeah, yeah.
Gavin
He got wasted and then someone literally did hand him the keys.
Mike
That's actually cool to see because normally, like, when they do the drinking and driving simulators, it's like, you know, the goggles with Vaseline on them or like a mirror in it so you can't really see. But that is like, true of a solid driver showing how much you can't. How much you just like.
Spenny
Yeah.
Mike
Control the car.
Spenny
I was pretty surprised, too, that, like, YouTube would, I guess, like, let that be. You think that they wouldn't want to promote drinking and driving in any same thing, form or fashion. But it was a good video, too. But I've been trying to watch and consume more YouTube and Instagram and like TikTok and things. Just keep my knife sharp, keep honed in. The amount of AI videos that I've been getting recommended is insane. I don't know if you guys even.
Mike
On YouTube or on TikTok.
Ryan
YouTube.
Spenny
YouTube is like straight AI thumbnails now, where that's like all I see on TikTok and Instagram. My algorithm is just like. I'm just like, in the AI algorithm. And most of them are like the gorilla.
Gavin
Those are funny.
Spenny
But, like, half of them are ads and I still watch them. Yeah. Because, like, you can just like, they're.
Mike
Coming for my job.
Spenny
If you're like a car dealership, like, you could make like a gorilla AI video. Yeah, yeah. Talking about that. And you just make it savage enough and funny enough. It's like, even though it's an ad, you're still going to like, watch it the same.
Gavin
That's what I mean. I do find just about the gorilla ones, like, they can. You can create a character to say, like, some savage shit, and it's not connected to a real person who. Who has friends and family. So, like, you can say like someone. I'm not saying. Yeah. I'm not saying to just like, have you. Yeah. Have your only comedy be, like, cancelable jokes and stuff. But, like, you can get away with.
Ryan
So much more than people.
Mike
Yeah.
Ryan
Well, so where are they making these videos? Because I'm an avid user of AI.
CJ
Google, VO3 or something.
Gavin
Yeah. Before you used to have to kind of send it. You would have to get your AI voice from somewhere. You'd have to get your AI video from somewhere. You might have to send it through another video thing. But now it's getting to the point where you just like, prompt V03.
Spenny
Yeah.
Mike
And it just happens that fast. That's what I tried it for, like, the Mike's viper thing. And it is actually more difficult, like, it was hard for me to get something that came out that was even slightly good.
Spenny
Yeah, yeah.
Ryan
I've noticed with AI that, like, if you're trying to generate an image, it's not nearly as accurate, at least with the Chat GPT stuff, as, like, if you just ask it, like a information based question or when people are cranking.
Gavin
Out like, like, oh, you made that on Chat GPT. But then what they don't say is that it took them, you know, seven tries to get to that image.
Mike
Yeah. Or they spent a ton of time on the prompt, like, because you can search in Chat GPT like other images people have created, and then when you click on, like, what they typed in to create it, and it's literally a book this long worth of, like, super descriptive information, you're like, oh, it's not as easy. But have you seen people have been doing it with cleat?
Spenny
Oh, yeah. With the giraffe.
Mike
A giraffe?
Spenny
Yeah. Squirrel.
Dalton
Or is a squirrel?
Spenny
Yeah. Pretty funny? It is funny. Someone just did it with Evan.
Mike
Really?
Spenny
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me pop it up.
Mike
Going to say they should make us, like, characters.
Dalton
Like, I don't like where this is going.
CJ
I just saw this yesterday.
Gavin
Are you talking about the one where he's.
Spenny
Yeah. What did sweet Veruca say?
Dalton
Daddy find me North Korea.
Spenny
It's like a battle cry. And when Veruca says, wait, so this.
Ryan
Is AI, I swear I saw him do this right after the cake smash.
Dalton
What the. I don't even know if I hate it. I just. It's really stupid.
Gavin
Do you know what that song's from?
Dalton
No.
Gavin
Willy Wonka from the Chocolate Factory.
Dalton
Maybe I didn't hear it right. Me and Mike did a little pull tab run last night.
Gavin
Yeah, it was quality time. Went into Zorbas with one goal to play Pull tabs with. Evan walked out 340 bucks richer.
Dalton
Wow.
Spenny
Say that me and Evan have the same success.
Gavin
It was just. It was like, that's how you want it to go. But it was weird. We just were like, yeah, should we put our, you know, a little bit of that winnings in this and then the next winnings in that? There's not much to it, but we were. We were just like, fricking dapping it up. We're like, this is going extremely well for us.
Spenny
Did you guys see the video of. Of the General Lee jumping that fountain? Yes. In that town flat. Yeah. It's a Flat.
CJ
The camera guy was seconds away from getting hit.
Mike
Oh, yeah, that too.
Gavin
He actually really was close.
Dalton
The camera guy must be related to Dalton. He loves being seconds, dude.
Gavin
The. The amount of general leaves are their Dodge Chargers. Right. That have been jumped to flat is a lot of that.
CJ
That one was like some other kind of car just in a body kit.
Gavin
But then that was very.
Ryan
Either way camera guy, he's like, oh, oh, dude.
Gavin
He barely. To be fair, he could have left his camera and got out of the way fast.
Dalton
Dude, look how quick that guy at the jean shorts is running.
Mike
It is a slam, dude.
Spenny
Yeah, it was a hard jump.
Ryan
How did they get this pass with the city?
Gavin
I feel like Evan could handle that. Oh, yeah.
Spenny
Ev could eat that.
Gavin
Yeah.
Dalton
Actually looks like a downhill landing from this angle.
Gavin
But also, the guy in the car is probably like, yes, I've done this 39 times.
Ryan
So they installed that fountain and this to celebrate they did that.
CJ
I think it was like some kind of.
Gavin
Makes you assume that.
Ryan
I mean, when you install a fountain in a roundabout, the next inevitable thing is to jump something, whether it's an evil Knievel.
Dalton
Well, we might think that way. I'm not sure if that's how like the town normally would think. I'm. But there's plenty of fountains that haven't been jumped out there.
Spenny
How many General Lee's are out there?
Mike
There's one in north side of DL.
Gavin
Well, we talking.
Spenny
No, I'm talking about, like, true generales.
Dalton
I saw a thing. It was one of the VIN wikis. I think they did that. But there were like over a hundred that were used for the show because obviously they cook them all the time. So they're obviously the good ones, stunt ones, but they were constantly, like, having to.
Gavin
But when they were doing the show, those were all, like, legit, you know, like Dodge Chargers, no body kit.
Dalton
Yeah, but I mean, there was only a few that were, like, really nice, and then the rest were just like.
CJ
Like, they were toasted by the end of the shoot.
Dalton
Well, yeah, but they also weren't like, fully tricked out to be as nice as, like.
Gavin
Right.
Mike
Yeah, like the one that you're seen driving in and stuff like that.
Spenny
When's the last time that, like, a genuine generally sold that was, like, used in the show? Like, how about Joe Dirt's Daytona that we saw at Sturgis?
Mike
Sturgis, yeah.
Dalton
Gas. Gas Monkey.
Spenny
Yeah.
Mike
How much did that sell for?
Gavin
400.
Mike
Oh, my God. Gosh.
Gavin
300 something.
Dalton
I think it was like.
Spenny
It was more than that.
Dalton
I thought it was right around a half a million.
Spenny
Yeah, that's a half a million. $500.
CJ
So only 17 of the General Lee's that were used in the shoot are still like in existence.
Gavin
That's pretty cool.
CJ
The most recent article I can see one came up for auction in 2018, but I can't find a price. Oh, two. 225 000.
Gavin
Oh dang.
Mike
A steal compared to the Joe Dirt.
Gavin
At 330K but also 225000 for something that there are 17 of, it's pretty good. There's only one Joe Dirt Rig.
Spenny
Oh wow.
Ryan
So hold on. That one wasn't destroyed or it was never jumped.
CJ
Like the 17 cars like survived. Like they weren't totaled in the the shoot. Like they made it out just fine.
Ryan
How many did they total?
CJ
Between 250 and 350 cars were more than a few different numbers. But yeah, destroyed, used in production. So only 17 are still in existence.
Gavin
Wow.
Spenny
They had a worse ratio than.
Ryan
Than we do Fast and Furious but.
Spenny
Like beat them every.
Dalton
How many years did the show run? It was like a series in like every episode had at least said.
Spenny
Did they have like one main stuntman like who was doing these jumps?
Dalton
That would be my dream.
Spenny
Sure.
Ryan
They had so many.
Spenny
That would be your dream. You are living.
Ryan
No fame, no anything.
Spenny
Just doing the jump.
Dalton
Yeah, I don't know. The guy was probably just chilling the whole time, drinking a couple beers. All right, time to jump the abandoned bridge.
Gavin
Yeah, we're going to film episode sixes jump today too if you want to knock that out. Yeah, couple more.
Mike
Can I have twice as many beers?
Spenny
Our buddy was getting a rope out from our boat at the sandbar the other day and sliced his hand open and CJ had to bring him to the ER.
Ryan
Yeah, that was on the 4th of.
Gavin
July, cuz what was like the prop was just that sharp or he was.
Dalton
C.J. revved it up.
Gavin
Right.
Dalton
You pull and I'll spin and prop and.
Ryan
Yeah, no, basically it was just so wavy with three anchors and the boat was shifting back and forth and it must have somehow shifted over enough to then just lightly loop the anchor underneath it. And there was so much going on. I didn't pull that anchor up. So I also don't know who did. So they might have pulled it the wrong way, which then even looped it more or could have originally looped it. But then there was literally like six drunk dudes fighting over who gets to hold the rope. Like literally. And then I just come to the back of them. Hey, just one person.
Spenny
What?
Ryan
I said it literally seven times when they were just fighting over the rope. And then they're all, like, swimming under. One guy smacks his nose on the. I don't know, something down there. He comes up bleeding.
Mike
Oh, my God.
Ryan
And he said that he was undoing it, and then someone pulled the rope tight, and then it basically shoved his hand up into the prop.
Mike
Oh, my.
Ryan
And that's how he cut it then, because he cut it up here. So someone pulled on it.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
Like, they were like.
Ryan
It was literally like zombies. Just like.
Spenny
And I'm just bad.
Ryan
I'm relatively sober, sitting here like, ah, yeah. Trying to get a hold of everyone, but also, like, keep it. It was just, you know, standard stuff. But, yeah. Then I brought him to the hospital after he bled for five hours at the house.
CJ
Your fiance put a bandage on his hand, thought it was fine for, like, an hour. And then somebody. Somebody finally looks at me. He's just got blood all over where he was sitting.
Spenny
It was.
Ryan
Then we got him another one. Then we gave him a beach towel. He bled through that. Then there after, he got, like, a puddle on the couch. It was like, this big of a puddle. Like, all right, we're taking the ER.
Spenny
Did he put up a pretty good fight?
Ryan
He did not want to go to the er.
Spenny
I can imagine he would.
Mike
He's a pretty tough guy, too, you.
Ryan
Know, he did not want to go.
Spenny
Farm boy.
Mike
Yeah, I don't need to go to the.
Ryan
I was like, bro, you're gonna bleed out at the.
Spenny
Like, you're losing.
Ryan
You're losing a fair amount of blood, and you're bleeding all over the house. So, like, I don't know what you're gonna do. Like, I wish I had some super glue. I would have tried super glue in it.
CJ
There was so much blood. I think that we'll just push the super glue straight out.
Ryan
Yeah, it was five stitches, so not. Not too bad. But, yeah, it was pretty fun.
Gavin
You guys ever done that? We super glued Cody's head shut once.
Ryan
When was that?
Gavin
He was rolling around on the hoverboard, and then he bonked his head on the hammer slogging table because he was crouched down like a little.
Mike
Oh, yeah. Back when you said amber slogging in the shot.
Spenny
Yeah, he went backwards into it, didn't he?
Gavin
He, like, zoomed backwards into it, cracked his head open, and we just super glued it. We were drunk.
Spenny
Did it work?
Gavin
It worked. It worked. And I've seen it work more than. That's the Only time I've done it to someone. But like, it, it does work.
Spenny
What a scary place to be on 4th of July though. Was it the hospital? Yeah, pretty busy.
Mike
Was it?
Ryan
I just basically brought them there and I was like, this is either gonna be a quick thing or it's gonna be. Yeah, you're gonna be here all night. They were there for like five hours.
Mike
No. And did you talk with them and you were able to go home?
Ryan
Yeah, they just told me, like, go home. Like, even if it's gonna take 10 minutes, we're gonna just have someone pick us up.
Mike
Oh, there you go. Because they both live in Deal.
Spenny
Yeah.
Ryan
So it worked out good.
Spenny
What do you think they did when he was sitting there, like bleeding out? Like when you're at the ER and you're waiting for five hours. Well, it was us.
Mike
We just made jokes and laughs.
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, we've been in that situation.
Spenny
Do they, do they come out and like stop it from bleeding? I don't know.
Dalton
It wasn't that bad in my experience. I was in that exact situation and they're icing me out there. Like I'm filling out like paperwork and I'm holding a towel, I'm bleeding out my forearm, which ended up being like a six stitch wound, not a towel on it. And after over an hour goes by, the secretary kind of like peeks over her desk and like realized how bad it was bleeding and then they like rushed it along. But maybe there is some level and they deem that I wasn't like needing immediate attention, that, yeah, I was just sitting there chilling and then they go.
Mike
In there, make sure you're bleeding. Yeah, just bleeding out onto the floor and shit, then they'll take you right back.
Spenny
Yeah, but they didn't leave your arm on the, on the table when you're filling it up. Puddle. Yeah, that's what happened when I went in for my appendix and like they didn't know exactly what was going on. So you, you go in for a CT scan to, for them to look and see if your appendix is like inflamed. And as soon as I got in there before they brought me back for the CT scan, like sirens were going off and like doors were slamming and I was like, oh, this doesn't sound good.
Mike
Over the same for me.
Spenny
So much pain right now. And they like, after like all these, you know, doors start slamming, nurse comes in and was like, oh, we just had an accident that we got attend to so we'll be in like when we can. And I think I was in the room waiting for him for four hours.
Gavin
Oh.
Spenny
Or something. Something.
Mike
Obviously, someone needed help.
Spenny
Yeah, exactly. They did. And they brought me in after, like, four hours of waiting in this room, scanned my appendix, and then they rushed me into surgery like, three minutes later because they were like, your appendix is about to burst. We have to do it immediately. Like, every minute that goes by is like, it could burst. And then they, like, sent me into surgery, and I was like, oh, thank God it didn't burst. Otherwise I would have been really pissed waiting in the.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mike
Lobby.
Ryan
What would have happened?
Mike
No, it's just really bad, isn't it?
Spenny
No, you get a really, really bad, bad infection because it. It's basically like your appendix is, like, holding all this, you know, infection. Infection breaks out on your insides, and they have to, like, drain it. And it's pretty gnarly.
Mike
Subject getting a woozy.
Dalton
Yeah, dude. I don't like the hospital. The doctors, and that whole situation freaks me out.
Spenny
I hate it.
Dalton
Internal stuff, as has always made me scared. It's just, like, serious, and sometimes you don't know what's going on, and then it's usually really bad when it happens, and I don't know.
Spenny
Yeah, it's. It's not a. Not a good place to be. Shout out to all the nurses and doctors in the ER that have to deal with that stuff.
Ryan
It's like those nurses that were here for Gavin's big stunt.
Spenny
Yeah.
Ryan
Like, it's a good thing they were here.
Gavin
Yeah.
Spenny
They checked him over.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mike
You watch a video and see how thoroughly they checked.
Ryan
You're good. He was smart. Gavin's always thinking. That's the thing about him, is he's thinking ahead, and he realized he's about to do a big stunt, and there happened to be two nurses that he was macking on at the bar.
Dalton
I wish he could have sat, because he really didn't. It was me and Spenny that brought them back for his own good.
Ryan
Okay?
Dalton
Gavin had no chance. So you and Spenny, on Gavin's behalf, we're just like, gav, they're coming. They're here for you. And, I mean, we kind of just lined it all up for him.
Ryan
Okay, well, you were wheeling the chicks.
Dalton
No, Gavin was trying and failing, and we're like, we got to get out of here. He's about to do the craziest stunt you've ever seen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We, like, hyped it up because he was all hot and bothered and flustered and two nice ladies he didn't know how to behave himself. And. Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah, that was one of my favorite parts, was when I showed up and they were there. You know, I. I met them at the bar. They're. They're nurses, though. So, anyways, after he explains, after he bodied the. The ramp, I saw the way they checked him over, and, yeah, it was thorough.
Spenny
That night, we. We went and grabbed dinner at Zorba's. And then Gavin was like, all right, I'm gonna invite those girls back over. So Gavin calls him up, hey, yeah, come. Come to Zorba's. We're just hanging out. They show up, walk inside. And I was like, all right, I think we're. I think we're rolling out. Gav, what's your plan? Gav's like, I'm coming with. Didn't want to be left behind. So we hop in the Sprinter, and we're rolling into town. And then Gav gets a call from these girls that he invited over.
Ryan
Why didn't he just bring them with?
Spenny
Dude, I think he was just short circuiting. He didn't. He didn't. Like Evan said, like, he didn't know, like, how to. How to handle.
Dalton
We were all standing there, like, I was with my girlfriend, and Jake was there with his girlfriend, and those two chicks were sitting there. And the Sprinter van pulled up, but Gavin was still inside. He literally looks at us and goes, I'll be right back. Runs out, jumps in the Sprinter, and the girl's like, he just left.
Spenny
And he did. So she called him, and boy, did she. She give Gavin a piece of her mind. I mean, rightfully so. I mean, he did just. He invited him over and then just dipped out on him.
Ryan
But she.
Spenny
And she was like, you're like, such a. Like. Like, you invite girls over, and then you don't even have the balls to, like, say goodbye. Like, I'll be right back in my ass. And then she just goes, we even came and watched your stupid ass. Little stunt. They called it a little stunt.
Ryan
That's what I thought was funny. And then I think she even said something like, you're not even a real redneck. Did you? Save it. I'm pretty sure you said, you're not even a real redneck, Which I was like, does this girl watch him online? Like, how are you hyper?
Dalton
It actually wasn't me. I forgot to ask. There is the off chance that Jake could have been in her ear, but I don't know. I. It might have been 100 her.
Spenny
It seemed pretty. Let me. Pretty genuine.
Ryan
Let Me hear it if she hit.
Dalton
Him with a fake redneck, though. You'd think that might have.
CJ
Did they say anything about the Lulu, or is it just kinda.
Ryan
I think they did.
Spenny
We're going to Zorbas and DL if you want to meet us there. What did you think about my stunt, though?
Dalton
It's pretty sick, right?
Spenny
No, it was lame.
Mike
Holy crap.
Spenny
Couldn't have. Cody, shut up.
Ryan
No, you couldn't have. Easily. Where's.
Dalton
What do you mean?
Ryan
Dea?
Spenny
Cody was the one that told me.
Ryan
That I had to leave right away.
Mike
Can we talk to.
Spenny
I thought you were coming to DL. Oh, my goodness. Are you a redneck?
Dalton
No, I don't wear Lulu.
Mike
Lemon, don't give me a hard time, okay?
Spenny
Let's. Let's hang out later, okay?
Dalton
I don't think so. Let me check the time. Absolutely not.
Spenny
Okay.
Ryan
That was funny.
Gavin
Let's hang out later. No.
Spenny
Okay.
Ryan
It's all right. Gavin will find another heavy when he gets back here.
Spenny
We're gonna have to get him and Dalton on to squash the beef.
Ryan
Yeah. So what happened?
Spenny
I don't know. Apparently they're beefing.
Mike
Maybe Gavin.
Dalton
Gavin had a meltdown because Dalton shot a little roost on him. It turned into an hour screaming match.
Mike
Oh, my God.
Dalton
With three people telling Gavin to chill. It's fine. Nope, he was not gonna chill. Can I say they were naked?
Spenny
Yeah.
Dalton
I was like, okay, I'll have to send this. I'll have to send this clip. We can put some little blurries. Dalton and Spenny are naked on their dirt bikes chasing cabin's on a three wheeler. This is like over a minute long clip. And they're just chasing him around, trying to spray them with mud.
Spenny
Why?
Dalton
Well, they wanted Gavin to get naked and hit the ramp. Also, they're hitting the freestyle ramp.
Gavin
Naked.
Spenny
What the hell are you guys doing?
Dalton
Love of the game.
CJ
What was the whole point of being naked, though, during all this?
Gavin
Love of the game, I mean, because.
Dalton
Like, just adding a little risk, like crashing on a dirt bike sucks, but, like, do it naked.
Spenny
So those two chasing Gavin around the fields.
Gavin
Betty told me that they cornered him eventually and then roosted the shit out of him.
Dalton
Yeah, he kept going and he finally just ran himself into a corner. It was so priceless. Like, up against the old limo and the. The tabletops here. And then a barbed wire fence. Like he just boxed himself in. Just two naked boys spraying you with mud.
Spenny
Then what?
Ryan
What'd he do? He was just pissed.
Dalton
Well, they sprayed him a little bit and then just laughed and Rode off and hit some more jumps. And I still thought everything was fine at this point. And then Gavin, I don't know why he focused in on Dalton so much because Spenny was also doing the same thing.
Spenny
But I think he likes Spanny. Yeah, he doesn't like Dalton.
Dalton
Yeah, he just said he hates Dalton.
Spenny
Yeah, he does.
Dalton
Not, like, said a lot of bad words about him.
Ryan
Like what? Like what? So he was actually pissed. I've never seen him.
Dalton
Actually, you. The only comparable time was when Dalton on his pipe. That was the exhaust.
Mike
What about when you took the picture of him in the shower?
Dalton
Okay.
Spenny
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dalton
Or that one.
Gavin
Yeah, that.
Ryan
So what do you say to him?
Dalton
He just literally just kept saying, dalton's a piece of shit. I hate you. Called him some, but screamed it loud enough so that, like, the whole county could probably hear. And everyone's just like, dude, just chill. And he just kept going on and on and on. And then finally we left the track and he gets back here and he starts doing it again. And then the funny part was, is Gavin sat down with me later and then sat down with spending, like all of us individuals. So do you think I was out of line, like. Yeah, you were. Well, I mean, I had to say something. I go, yeah, maybe once, maybe twice, but not an hour straight. Just broken record, repeat.
Spenny
I think there was more to it than. Than that. That's why I think we got to get them on. On the pod, squash the beef. I think it was a big culmination of the whole weekend coming down on Yav all at once.
Mike
But I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued.
Spenny
I'm intrigued. I haven't really dug into it very deep. I kind of heard a little bit from Dalton's side, a little bit from Gavin's side. But when Gav's back in town, he.
Mike
Comes back at the end of the week, right?
Spenny
Two weeks. Yeah. But, yeah, I think he'd like to.
Dalton
Pretend it never happened. Honestly. Well, I mean, naked.
Spenny
I don't know. I feel like he's more in, like, the non weird side of the story than Dalton.
Dalton
I don't know. It's pretty weird getting chased by two naked guys he didn't choose.
Spenny
I probably drive away, too.
Gavin
I think I would.
CJ
I think it's more weird for Dalton and Spenny that they were doing that together, I think.
Dalton
Was it weird that I was filming it?
Gavin
I still think the funniest part is, like, getting cornered. Can you imagine driving around our track and then somehow, well, you're on a three wheeler. It's easy to do.
Dalton
That's like everything.
Ryan
Not nearly as mobile, but it's like.
Dalton
Every horror movie ever or whatever. You're running. You're running and running, and either you. You roll your ankle and fall or you get cornered or the door's locked and you're just.
Mike
Oh, no.
Spenny
That's just how those three wheeler guys got treated. You know, once dirt bikes came out.
Dalton
They'Re kind of like the scooter kids at the skate park. When you pull up to the moto track on a three wheeler, it kind of everyone gangs up on you.
Ryan
Yeah, I've probably felt like his ancestors, Forefathers.
Mike
Freaking. Getting bullied.
Gavin
Bullied off the land.
Spenny
Oh, my God, was that a wrap?
Mike
Tune in next week when Gavin and Dalton squash the beef. I guess.
Spenny
Yeah, we can hear a little bit more of this story if you guys made it to this point in the podcast. Make sure you subscribe and we'll see you next week. We make a podcast every Tuesday.
Gavin
Have a good one.
