[Evan]

What changed now that you're not on the. On the juice?

[Travis]

I was kind of sick when we got back from Florida, which made me not want to drink.

[CJ]

Dude, good job, Ev. I'm proud of you for that.

[Travis]

It's been like three days.

[Ryan]

I'm back today.

[CJ]

I mean we're potentially going out to, to get some drinks with Travis Pastrana and you're saying no? Yeah, like that's, that's a lot of self control that you wouldn't have had four days ago.

[Ryan]

I'm proud of you. I really am. I couldn't even say no last night when I went out to dinner. They're like, you want a Winter meal. And I was like, yeah, absolutely.

[Travis]

Well, and I mean plus I'm trying to hit the vintage ride. I'm trying to ride some snowmobiles this weekend.

[Evan]

So I feel like Evan's got plans back home. That's why he's trying to. He's really turning it down to go hang with his boys. Not because he doesn't wanna.

[Travis]

It's a multiple factor thing.

[CJ]

We can just assume it's for the, for the alcohol. Freezing.

[Evan]

If I was sober for a whole year, I would break it to have a beer with Travis Pastrana.

[CJ]

Yeah, I feel like that's a pretty solid reason.

[Evan]

Yeah, like that's a reason that's worth.

[CJ]

Doing it pretty cool. I mean like the younger you would be absolutely appalled. Can you found out that you, you turned that opportunity down?

[Ryan]

Can you imagine telling 13 year old you, you're like, Travis is gonna call you up for a beer later today and you're gonna say no.

[CJ]

Yeah, me and C.J. were actually talking about this. So the other day Travis Pastrana texted Micah and was like, hey, I'm in your guys's area too.

[Mike]

It was out of the blue.

[CJ]

I'm in your guys area. Can I come to you guys shop and check it out? And like, it's bizarre for two reasons. The first one being nobody texts us and just says, hey, I'm in your area. I'm going to swing by.

[Evan]

Never happened.

[CJ]

We live in the middle of nowhere. It makes no sense for people to be in our area and want to swing by. And that's the first reason. The second reason being it was always like, I think everyone in this room's dream to go to Pastrana Land, like Travis Pastrana's compound, his. His shop. And still is. It still is, right? It's just bizarre to me. It's having. I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that he asked us to come to our compound.

[Mike]

Yeah, right. In most cases it would be like, hey, did you guys hear? Travis is just down the road.

[CJ]

We should hit them up.

[Mike]

Yeah, we gotta get them out doing something. So that was cool.

[CJ]

It was sweet to have him pull up to the shop. But me and CJ were driving from one of the shops to the other. And we drive past like this spot that we used to ride dirt bikes at, like when we were little kids. And like, it's literally just a ditch. It used to have like a little sand hill on it. Right. And C.J. was like, you know, it's funny because like back when we were riding the Sandhill. I used to always be like, man, I'd be sick of Travis Pastrana came here and rode this sandhill with us. Makes no sense. Why would he ever do that?

[Ryan]

Like a 13 year old's mentality. I was literally like a 35 foot tall sand hill. But you're like, yeah, he'd love to ride.

[CJ]

He would probably like this, right? Granted, we didn't ride the sandhill, but it felt. It felt like oddly similar to that feeling.

[Evan]

Yeah, it's like crazy that it actually was happening. But yeah, it's just odd that he would be in cormorant. There's really not much reason, but he's actually up here to do this big jump over in Detroit. Lakes on the lake. I don't know if we can say it or not. We're doing something. I don't want to say the whole plan. But yeah, he's got this like a pretty big jump.

[CJ]

C.J. says the whole plan. Anyway, I don't wanna. I don't wanna like spoil any details.

[Evan]

Much more to it, but we're gonna be there today and tomorrow to watch it go down.

[Mike]

But I didn't really realize, like just how familiar with the area he was. So there's a rally called the Ojibwe Forest Rally that he'd been racing since 2004. And he said that's where he performs his best. He's like, you guys have the best roads out here. I'm like, yeah.

[Ryan]

Who knew?

[CJ]

I was just laughing though. Somebody watching our videos. And then they. They go over to Travis Pastrana's video and he's in our hometown. And then like, they go to. You guys see, Weston Champlin was filming a video in Minnesota and they go to that and they're like, when did Minnesota just become like the spot to be doing like stunts?

[Ryan]

I thought the same thing.

[Travis]

How many places have ice and then you narrow it down. We're pretty.

[Ryan]

I know, but it's so cool because normally Minnesota gets like so overlooked. I feel like, like Wisconsin. Wisconsin's a place in Michigan. Are places of power sports.

[CJ]

You think so?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think so.

[Mike]

The up.

[CJ]

Minnesota does get like a lot of rap for being like, super cold. Yeah, it's super cold.

[Ryan]

Super fucking cold.

[CJ]

But whenever people are talking about, like, man, what's the worst place that we could go that's freezing and we don't want to go all the way up to Alaska. Minnesota sucks, doesn't it?

[Ryan]

Yeah. They should hear about North Dakota. It's even worse.

[CJ]

Yeah, right. Like Wisconsin sucks. North Dakota is even worse. But yeah, Minnesota is just like kind of like the spot to go, I guess now.

[Travis]

Yeah, I don't like this chair.

[CJ]

You don't know. Really?

[Evan]

Yeah, I don't really care for those either. Like they're just flat. Like that needs a better cushion.

[Travis]

Yeah, like.

[CJ]

You kind of gotta sink into it, Ev. But your belly might be hanging out.

[Travis]

When I sink into it. Then the. Yeah, then the butt. But slides right off. Yeah, it's terrible. Sorry, Ryan. Bad chair. Bad chair.

[Ryan]

It was a cheaper chair, so I'm okay with that.

[Ken]

Just got velcro on it or something.

[Travis]

On my ass or the chair.

[Mike]

We could use Ken's chairs. No, he's got a pair of five thousand dollar chairs.

[Ryan]

Hair.

[Mike]

Great.

[Ken]

I only bought one. My mom bought the other.

[CJ]

Why the fuck. I kind of want to dive into that.

[Ryan]

Ken, you have more money in two chairs than I probably have in furniture.

[Ken]

I got a specific look that I wanted and it was 4,500.

[Travis]

Are they flammable?

[Ken]

I mean, anything's flammable if you try hard enough. I actually felt like a real idiot when I picked it up. Cause I, I, I, I didn't hold.

[Travis]

It over your head.

[Ryan]

Wait, why? Because you were picking up a thousand dollar chair.

[Ken]

Because I didn't strap anything down and I just threw it in the back of my truck and the whole fucking thing just blew apart when I, the second I got on the highway. So I'm in Fargo. Just cardboard everywhere. Shit just flew and it was like.

[Ryan]

Not a good look. Strapping your $5,000 chair together in the back of your cybertruck.

[Evan]

Dude.

[CJ]

Just picture this. You're, I don't know, let's just say a 65 year old furniture salesman, right? You don't really know what the hell is going on with this new age bullshit, right? You have this guy show up in a refrigerator and he picks up a $5,000 futuristic looking chair and he throws it in the back of the fridge and rips off like that guy is still just wondering what's going on with the world that we're living in.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Did you pick up your trash off the highway?

[Ken]

Damn near almost got ran over about four times. But I did pick up all the garbage.

[Evan]

Job, Ken.

[Ryan]

It's scary being on the side of.

[Ken]

The highway in the city too.

[Ryan]

It's like, yeah. So where, where's that chair going? Your boathouse?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I haven't been to your boathouse yet, but I know our friend group you're.

[CJ]

Not going to be invited to.

[Ryan]

I'm not invited but that's what I'm saying. Like, I know our friend group and it seems like a place where the concrete floors and oversized fridge were like good decisions. But an expensive chair seems like scary. That close to the water with us.

[Ken]

I mean, you just have to have some kind of decency and respect and.

[Travis]

What?

[Ken]

And it doesn't have concrete floors anymore. Those got covered up.

[Ryan]

Oh, you didn't do that. What'd you do?

[Ken]

Lvp.

[Ryan]

Nice.

[Evan]

That was a good call, Ken. When looks way better looked. Yeah, I. When you were saying concrete floors, I was like, it's kind of. I don't know about that, but it looks way better with the wood. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Nice. Well, I'm excited to see it. Hopefully I get the invite. Sounds like I'm not, but seems like a cool place.

[Mike]

We're all just like full blown housewarming boat. Housewarming without you. How's everybody else's houses doing? You guys got good heat? Nothing's broken?

[CJ]

Yeah, I got a text from one of my tenants yesterday saying that his washing machine machine froze.

[Ryan]

Froze?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

So he's got the heat set super low.

[CJ]

Like the pipe into his washing machine froze.

[Ryan]

Damn.

[Evan]

So then what?

[CJ]

He's just one man. I did my books on my rentals the other day. We ain't making money, boys. Yeah, luckily they appreciate. But damn, they don't appreciate you, brother. Yeah. So I was thinking maybe I could get you over there to replace him.

[Ken]

Ken, I. I don't do that anymore.

[CJ]

But you would for a friend, right?

[Ken]

I don't do that anymore.

[CJ]

You couldn't just pick up an old trait?

[Ken]

What do you think? The last time I did that was. It was like five years ago.

[Mike]

You saying you forgot?

[Ken]

Let that be somebody else's problem.

[CJ]

But dude, it's been so cold. Like pretty much all of my rentals have had like some kind of like pipe freezing or some kind of issue.

[Ryan]

Has your house been good? Because your house is old. It's like 100 and some years old. It's been redone really nice.

[Mike]

But that's good. That's good. It's old. That's like over a hundred years old.

[Evan]

Is it scary living in a hundred year old house?

[Ryan]

There's got to be someone who's died in it.

[Mike]

Sorry, that's. Honestly, that stuff doesn't bother me.

[Travis]

As long as they got the body out, it's not that big.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Really? Does the ghost go with the body?

[Travis]

Well, I don't know, but it would suck if there was still a body in the house. That Would be.

[Evan]

That's borderline incriminating.

[Travis]

I just meant like if Mike bought a house after someone passed away in it, hopefully they got the body out.

[Evan]

It could be incriminating. They find a body in your house, you're gonna have some explaining to do. And if you don't know where it came from, you're really going to be in a pickle. Listen, I don't know what happened. Yeah, so they all say.

[CJ]

Is that the buyer's problem or the seller's problem?

[Travis]

Do you have a crawl space or an attic?

[Mike]

No. So it's been covered up that I know of. Yeah.

[Travis]

There's got to be a crawl space. There's always a crawl space.

[Mike]

If I find a skeleton, I'll probably like put it together like the ones in science class, hang it on a rod. Yeah, I just like studying the human anatomy.

[Ken]

It's a free Halloween decoration.

[Mike]

Yeah, exactly. A real skeleton.

[Ryan]

Can't put a price that.

[Mike]

From 1907, dude.

[Ryan]

Actually though, my house is when it's this cold, cuz it's been like 20 some below. And when you set the heat to. I normally have it set at like 69. You'll wake up in the morning when it drops down to 35 below with wind and it's just 65 degree in the house. The heat just never turns off all night.

[CJ]

Just crazy. Are you spending like a ton of money in gas or do you have gas or.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah, I just saved so much with my electric car, but yeah, no, my propane bill and my electricity bill are both nuts.

[Evan]

Ken, how is our house at holding heat? Good or bad?

[Ken]

The main floor is great. Where I live in the basement, it's freezing.

[Evan]

Really? I actually like it cold. I like it cold.

[Ken]

I've got a space heater like you guys could switch. It's in like the 50s in the basement. If I don't have a little space heater going.

[Steve]

Holy.

[CJ]

See your breath.

[Ken]

So earlier this week, CJ's girlfriend Alex, we show up at home and she's like, it smells like gas outside.

[Ryan]

Oh God.

[Ken]

So like, you know, I was like, oh, yep, that's definitely the smell of natural gas. So call, you know, of course you call them. And then they're like, get out of the area as soon as evacuate, evacuate. Don't turn any lights on or off, blah, blah, blah.

[Evan]

It's 10:30 at night, Alex is easily influenced and so she's immediately spooked. Like she thinks like she fucking forgot her phone in the house. Getting out so fast.

[Ryan]

And I'm over here. Like, like, I'm going to take a shower.

[Evan]

It is like, like, I'm not trying to deal with this shit right now. Like, you know, I don't think we need to evacuate the houses outside.

[Ken]

If that thing did catch fire, it would have just been a giant fireball.

[CJ]

So what happened?

[Ken]

They sent a guy out and it was like just leaking out of the meter, which thank God, because it's, you know, if it's past the meter, that's our responsibility. And he's like, well, I can't do anything, so I'd have to leave. But it was like on the meter it was leaking, so he just had to replace it.

[Travis]

You think someone was trying to sabotage you?

[Ryan]

Yeah, it seems like. It doesn't seem like the thing that would just start.

[Ken]

You've got a suspicious look in your face.

[Ryan]

Ken was just trying to tear down another house.

[Ken]

Would have been a nice insurance payout.

[CJ]

But I don't, I don't think you can go on your podcast and say that.

[Evan]

I mean, it didn't happen.

[Ken]

Insurance is for stupid people. If you.

[CJ]

Oh, okay, hold on. Keep going.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Ken]

You should be able to do something stupid in the insurance pays for it. So.

[Evan]

Yeah. So basically Ken and I waited outside the house for like an hour in our cars at like till like probably what, 11:30. It was just annoying because like I go to bed early typically, and I'm like, this is everything up? And it was all just a waste. And this. The thing is, is I already knew it was leaking the day before. I just didn't investigate it because Mike came over and he's like, smells like propane or something out there. And it was like just so goddamn cold out. And I was like in my boxers or something and I was just like, I'm not going to go out there.

[Ryan]

And doesn't smell like propane in here.

[Evan]

Fine, it's fine. So I just go to bed know this was like 24 hours later that Alex comes home and mentions it. And then I'm like, I should probably go look. I go out, look, realize it's coming off, that it's like walk inside, you know. Ken, is it bad if, you know, natural gas is leaking off that? He's. He was like, what? He like, you know, goes out there, looks at it, he comes back. Yeah, that's bad. I'm calling the calls them, they're like, evacuate the house.

[Ryan]

I'm like, godamn.

[Evan]

You guys didn't even know it, but this has been happening for over 24 hours.

[CJ]

I slept like we Got.

[Evan]

But yeah. So then we're sitting out there just wasting a bunch of time sitting there watching. A lot of things go wrong when it's this cold out. Like, vehicles don't want to run, obviously. House. It just really is hard on. On anything when it's negative 22 degrees out.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Evan]

It is amazing that anything can live outside, like deer, squirrels, rabbits, birds. I don't know how they do it. Fish, you know, feral cats, like, you know, just like lunchbox. Like, how do they do it? It's amazing.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Ryan]

Have you said you're doing a vintage ride this weekend?

[Travis]

Not particularly. Me riding a vintage sled, but just go show up on a sled and hang out.

[Mike]

Yeah, no vintage.

[Travis]

See what's going on. Yeah, no vintage sled.

[Mike]

For me, though, if there's one thing about a vintage ride, it's that you want to be sober. I know that's not why that's good.

[CJ]

Ev, that you're sticking with this trend.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I'm proud of you.

[Evan]

How many days have been like two.

[Ryan]

More days than yesterday? Just one day at a time.

[Evan]

Ryan, when's the last time you went two days without drinking?

[Ryan]

Until last night, then I think I'd had like four, but I don't know. I just. It was this habit. I just sat down at the restaurant and he went, you want a winter mule? And I said, yup. And then turn down a winter. It just showed up to my table and then I was like, I'm not supposed to be drinking.

[CJ]

Oh, really?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Are you not supposed to be drinking?

[Ryan]

Well, I'm not supposed. I'm not supposed to. As in rules that I've enforced by myself. Like, I'm just trying not to try to avoid.

[CJ]

Right? Yeah. Because of our challenge.

[Ryan]

Because of our fitness challenge.

[CJ]

Gotcha. Have you guys been working out?

[Evan]

Yeah, No, I have.

[Mike]

No, I thought about three and three.

[CJ]

So three and three.

[Mike]

I thought about it.

[CJ]

All right, so let's.

[Ryan]

I thought about it.

[CJ]

Let's maybe chalk that up as a quarter of a percent.

[Ryan]

[Ken]

Justin did give me a snap card and I was considering taking it and then I was like ah I I'll do that later.

[Evan]

You always work out another day.

[CJ]

I've been in the gym for the last week and dude it is weird how many subs are in like the gym that C.J. and I and Ryan work out at like the amount of place. Yeah, the amount of people that are wearing like the merch too. But it's like I've been in there at like 9:30 and it is like packed full of just like under 25 year old kids.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And I'm just like, PM, PM yeah. And I'm like, damn. Does nobody sleep anymore? It's like the most bizarre thing. Like, it's like popping.

[Evan]

Yeah, dude. When I was their age, like, it's. They probably don't need that much sleep and they're just. It's fun. You just go to the gym, you got all your buddies, you're just kind of like you're doing something a little bit.

[Travis]

They're not old enough to go to the fucking bar yet.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Travis]

What else are they going to do?

[Evan]

You know, you're doing something positive, but you're also getting to hang and kind of chill at the same time.

[CJ]

I was laughing though, last night. I was in there and there's just like a bunch of younger dudes in there and they all kind of have like the same haircut and. Yeah. Look the same. And then I was like, damn, dude, everyone in here just looks like Dalton. And then I go, holy shit, that kid looks like Dalton. And he turns around, it was Dalton. I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot. Dalton got a perm, bro. He looks like Napoleon Dynamite.

[Travis]

Don't forget about the spray tan.

[Evan]

Why do you think?

[CJ]

Did he get a spray tan?

[Travis]

Yes, he did.

[Ryan]

He said he did self tanner, but I don't know.

[CJ]

For his tick tock. Yeah, he got a spray tan for his tick tock. Yes, man. He's really. He's investing in his content.

[Travis]

He said he was looking a little too pasty.

[Evan]

I think part of the allure for Dalton's videos is being a good looking guy. So, like, he needs to really make sure he's keeping up on his looks.

[Ryan]

Top of his game.

[CJ]

Facial spray tans does help.

[Evan]

Facials, pedicures, facial curls in the hair, all that, I guess.

[CJ]

Yeah. If I had like a bunch of chicks that followed me and I was like a young dude, young strapping lad like Dalton. Yeah. Maybe care about more. A little bit more about that too, I guess. But yeah, I've just been rocking with the same tubby milk bag look. It's been on our YouTube channel for the last eight years and it's working.

[Travis]

You don't think a spray tan would have made a difference for you?

[CJ]

Chocolate milk bag.

[Mike]

There's a difference between, like really caring about how you look and then bringing it to the spray tan level.

[Evan]

Spray tan in the middle of February in Minnesota.

[CJ]

Everyone that I tell, like in the gym, people come up. I'm like, yeah, we're doing this 100 day challenge. And words kind of spread around like, some people come up and ask me about it now. Do I know.

[Ryan]

Many of my friends are hopping in on it.

[CJ]

Are they?

[Ryan]

Yeah. I got Blake in Arizona. Jeff and Fargo, like, people are. People are riding with us.

[Evan]

That's awesome.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Kind of like the whole team is doing it. Justin's doing it. Our chef Jen, said she was doing it.

[Ryan]

Gavin.

[CJ]

Gavin's doing it. Big wrench. Doesn't need to. He's got old band strength. He would, hands down, beat any of our asses, and he doesn't push three plates up. Yeah. Literally, dude. I wouldn't surprise me, but. Yeah. No. The whole team is getting in shape, but everyone I tell at the gym that, like, what we're doing, and then, like, the end, like, we're doing a bodybuilder competition that is, like, the cherry on top. Like, they're like, yeah. Yes, that. I hope you guys do it. I hope you see it through, because I'm like. And we're thinking about maybe doing a body competition. And they're like, oh, you have to do that. That'd be hilarious.

[Evan]

I don't know if we're thinking about it. We are doing.

[CJ]

I know. I think we. I think we've, like, it's. It's committed to it.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

But it was funny. No, we had, like, this. Our personal trainer come in that was doing, like, the body comps on us at the beginning of the week and taking all the stats of everyone, you know, with the little tape measure out, running around everyone's bellies and everything. And we told him what our idea was with the bodybuilder competition, and he. He thought that we meant just going to a bike.

[Evan]

We're gonna just watch it, like, sit in the crowd.

[CJ]

That's how we're gonna end. Yeah, yeah.

[Evan]

Like, nice. So you're gonna just, like, be in the crowd or something like that. He said we're like, no, no, no. Like, on stage.

[CJ]

And he's doing that, like, as he's, like, like, running the tape measure around my belly. And he looks up, and he's like, you can't believe it.

[Evan]

Yeah. Like, you're gonna enter in the competition. Yeah, dude.

[Mike]

Yeah, like, dude, we got. I gotta teach you guys the poses, which is, like, the one. You need two things, like, poses, the muscles in the spray tan and then the poses.

[CJ]

It was, like, three.

[Evan]

I don't think you need two things.

[Travis]

I don't think you just bundle things.

[Evan]

I think just to enter, you gotta have the spray tan and just know the poses halfway.

[CJ]

Yeah. Because I Doubt. They're like, send us a picture of what you look like.

[Ken]

I mean, he was saying you basically just have to register and you're. Yeah, you're in.

[Mike]

I just.

[Evan]

We just have a very funny.

[Mike]

It is funny, this regimen. Because then once he heard that, he's like, all right, so, like, how often will I be training you guys?

[Evan]

Yeah, at that point he was like, very serious.

[Mike]

You could swing by sometime, maybe train us once or twice, shoot us a text. And then he's like, what's, what's the meal plan? You guys want me to shoot you? Like, breakfast, lunch and dinner? What do you want to do for the meal plan? We're like, well, we got Jen.

[Ryan]

Jen will probably just cook.

[CJ]

Yeah, Jen, lay off on the carbs for us.

[Evan]

Like, bodybuilder competitions, they take it so fucking seriously. Back when I worked at a gym, like, any of those people that were, like, into it, it's such a big deal, but it's really not. It's like you're just going to a local. I'm sorry to belittle it, but you're just going to like a local fucking show. There's probably 20 people in the crowd and all of them are related to someone up on the stage.

[Ryan]

Well, making enemies with the strong guys before we go.

[Evan]

Good call. It's not like.

[CJ]

Interesting approach, interesting approach on this one. Let you solo, man. This mission, it's not like the competition.

[Evan]

Arnold Schwarzenegger sports is on.

[Mike]

I don't know if I'm sure you guys do, like, know who Sam Suck is. Yeah, like, he just, he won't be at our competition, but he just did, like, I. I guess, first bodybuilding competition and did all his full cut because he used to be a massive. And then dude. People just talk mad in the comments.

[CJ]

Really?

[Mike]

Yeah, I was really surprised, like. And I'm like, the dude's 23. This is his first bodybuilding competition and he is jacked as Jack gets. I mean, so are the other guys, but I'm just like, I just don't understand. Maybe you could hate on him for the spray tank.

[CJ]

Like, what are they?

[Evan]

I just, I just can't believe that that guy is that jacked and he is just entering now in his first competition. Like, what the was he was really training?

[Mike]

Interesting journey. Like, he. He just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger for like two years straight. And then he's like, this guy. Now it's time for the cut.

[CJ]

Mike, I love that you're not working out, but you're watching workout YouTube videos start. Mike's, like, getting in the. In state of mind.

[Mike]

Yeah. But then, like, I don't know, like, many people, you see those guys, and you're like, I. I don't even know if that's, like, feasible.

[CJ]

Like, can't even picture your.

[Mike]

Does that, like, look good? Like, I'm not, like, trying to figure out if he's attractive or not, but do.

[CJ]

Do people in general, they think that's.

[Travis]

A 3am on YouTube.

[Ken]

Imagine the Togi route or whoever that is.

[Ryan]

Yeah. He's on roids.

[Ken]

You know, gambling and toge is so funny.

[CJ]

All those guys are standing there shirtless, and Mike is also standing there shirtless. But, like, looks the way he does, and he's like, all right, I'm just trying to decide, like, who here I think looks at. And they're all doing their poses for Mike, and he's like, the judge, and he's like, all right, you definitely out.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. I'm just, like, picking which one I, like, maybe want to look like. I just.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I don't know if I can do the spray tan. I know I have to, but it's not.

[Ryan]

That spray tan seems like the easiest part. Even Ken's done it.

[Mike]

That's true, but I just feel disgusting.

[Ken]

For, like, 24 hours.

[CJ]

Well, Evan's gonna be sprayed.

[Ryan]

We gotta go to somebody that's given us bad spray tan, too.

[Mike]

That's actually.

[Ryan]

That's too thick, you know, like, get.

[Travis]

Canceled because of our bad.

[Ken]

We just gotta fly Lexi up here for.

[CJ]

Oh, Ken just wants to. Why Gavin's sister up for a day?

[Ryan]

That's the thing. She's too professional. She won't do a bad one. Like, you look just really tan when you did yours. We gotta find someone who was willing to mess it up.

[Ken]

Look, you're trying to look like just straight up orange.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Travis]

I think we should do our own spray tans. You can buy the tent on Amazon.

[Mike]

There you go.

[Ryan]

We could have Big Red set up his tent.

[CJ]

Can you big rats, can you put on. Bring your spray gun and bring your suit in today. It doesn't wear all standing there in our little speed.

[Travis]

Yeah, we all line up. So we just do it for efficiency. Like, right down all six, back and forth.

[Ken]

One person just gets, like, paint.

[Mike]

Yeah, Like. Well, that's what I was thinking. You guys could go first, because I want to do, like, either, like, purple or red, I think.

[CJ]

I don't think you get to pick your tints, do you?

[Evan]

You can do orange or kind of.

[Travis]

Orange Yeah, I want Mike to look like the couch.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's how you'll probably look like that, Mike.

[Evan]

We can do that.

[CJ]

Have you guys been seeing that our giveaway winners are becoming, like, a social trend. It's like a meme. Now.

[Evan]

How about the snowmobile winner?

[CJ]

Right. So, like, even before that, though, like, it's so known that the winners of our giveaways 98 of the time are not excited or they don't. They're just not gonna show their excitement. Yeah. I mean, might be ways of maybe not saying thanks or might be ways of not crying.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And granted, like, you won. We don't get to choose who wins. Completely random. You don't have to do anything. You don't. You don't have to say thanks. You don't have to be excited. Right. But people are on the Internet are, like, catching on to that, and it's becoming just like a trend.

[Mike]

They think they're the ones that are like, yes, they do. They do need to be excited.

[CJ]

Right. So the last snowmobile winner, and, you know, he was a nice guy and whatnot too, but he kind of just fell into the same bucket of, come on, man, just give us a tear. He's like, I'm excited, but I'm not that excited.

[Evan]

It is amazing how things like that just naturally happen. Like, how do we have this many in a row? There has been some that were really appreciative, you know, But I think regardless, it's a shocking.

[Mike]

Well, it's hard to say. Yeah. Like, not appreciative. I will just stick with the excited.

[CJ]

Yeah. I would say that they.

[Mike]

Almost all of them are appreciative the.

[Ryan]

Way that the excitement comes out.

[Mike]

Yeah. There's just so many. We catch, like, the. The sombre winner. He was at the bar, like, so many factors. And I do wanted the same thing. How it just like one after another, but maybe.

[Ken]

Do we have to try this? Do like calling the winner at a different time of day? Like, what do we got to do to hype them up?

[Ryan]

They're too sleepy at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

[Evan]

You guys remember that time we drove all the way, like, seven hours to deliver that snowmobile, and it was just awkward. And then we, like, the kid was like, oh, thanks.

[Ryan]

And then that one was the worst.

[Evan]

Like, we literally were there for like 15 minutes. We. We were, like, planning, like, hanging for the day, but it was just like that. It was just like that. Just quiet. And we're like, all right, well, we're gonna get out of Here. And then we hopped back in the truck, drove another seven hours home.

[Ryan]

Back home.

[CJ]

Did we ask him if he knew who we were?

[Evan]

I think we did.

[CJ]

Yeah, he did.

[Evan]

But, like, his parents are just like, no, he's just. He's just quiet.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, hard to hate on people that express their emotions differently. But it's been literally been that way since the start. The. I think the first giveaway winner was good, but I remember then the second one wasn't. And then we had Big Joe, which now he's an adult. He was a dude. He was stoked.

[CJ]

That's. That's how it started. We were like, this is awesome.

[Evan]

This is what super nice family.

[Mike]

This is a joke, but I'm going to blame it on Big Joe because he was literally levitating. He was jumping around his house screaming. His. His family was probably like, dude, you got to chill out. He was literally running around his house screaming because he was so excited. Never had anything.

[Ryan]

And he set the bar so high. And then whoever was after that really, I remember, wasn't excited. And we're like, damn, this thing kind of sucks. And then we gave it to having a blast. And having a blast was a great guy who deserved the snowmobile.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I'm blanking on him. I remember the meme.

[Ryan]

Having fun. Having a blank.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

With the snowmobile. Super nice guy. I can't remember his name.

[Travis]

Yeah, it is crazy, like, how much.

[CJ]

We imagine him listen to this, and he's just like, oh, yes, that I'm having a.

[Ryan]

Never knew. He's a meme. Good, good kid. Well deserving.

[CJ]

Great kid.

[Evan]

What about that one kid that was in Walmart and he had the mask on? It was just super awkward.

[CJ]

Oh, I forgot about that YouTube.

[Evan]

I just don't know what video it.

[CJ]

Is, but yeah, yeah. Probably a pit bike.

[Evan]

Maybe it was just a pit bike. Yeah.

[Ryan]

He was like, nothing to be excited about.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's right. We told him, and he was wearing a mask, and we couldn't tell if he was, like, smiling underneath the mask or if he couldn't just hear us. We were like, can you hear us? The audio coming through. And he was like, yep. And he just, like, kept walking. We're like, is this guy playing a prank on us right now? We're on, like, what, 35? This is our 35th giveaway easy.

[Ryan]

35 people.

[CJ]

What year do we start doing them? 20.

[Ken]

18.

[Evan]

I bet you we have seven good ones.

[CJ]

Yeah, I feel like we're due for one. So we're giving away Raptor R right now. If you think that maybe you out there watching, you're sitting in your car listening to this or laying in bed. Bed. Or whatever you're doing, and you're like, hey, I'm an exciting person. Or, you know, I might show my excitement on camera, try and get entered, win it. We do have one more.

[Mike]

We will announce the quad pretty soon here. And so hopefully they're excited, too.

[Ryan]

You're right.

[Mike]

I mean, how could you not be excited about a camouflage utility wheeler?

[CJ]

I'd be excited.

[Mike]

Really? We say that about every single one of our giveaways.

[CJ]

I don't know. Maybe it's just our demo.

[Ryan]

Just chill guys.

[CJ]

They're just chill guys.

[Mike]

Ryan, your comment. Your comment on the Raptor are like, reveal post on Instagram. I'm buying another trx. Like, that, to me, was just pure comedy. Like, whether you do or not, like, how does that. How do you think that thing compares to your trx?

[Ryan]

I think it's pretty similar because a Raptor always felt smaller and less powerful than my trx. Like, it just did. The TRX was the biggest. And Raptor and then like a normal truck. But this just levels up to, like, it feels like a TRX when you're driving it. Like, it feels really big on the road. Road. And you floor it and it gets really sketchy and light. I would say it's pretty similar, but you can't beat the Dodge supercharger sound.

[CJ]

You think it's that different?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Evan]

The Raptor is better. The Raptor R is better in the TRX.

[Ryan]

Well, that's because you love Raptors.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

But C.J. told me the other day, maybe I'm not a Raptor guy.

[Evan]

It handles better. Nicer interior. That's my two cents.

[CJ]

It's got rear wheel drive.

[Evan]

You can. Yeah, you can switch it in between. Rear wheel drive.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's true. I had to do the unlocker thing to do.

[Evan]

I remember the trx. Like, the supercharger had such a squeak to it. It was like, it did. Borderline would be like, is there something wrong with this thing? But it's just how it was.

[Ryan]

Hellcat wine.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Pretty sick, dude. It's pretty cool that they made the Raptor R. Yeah. Like, it's such a sweet truck.

[Evan]

And they discontinued the trx.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

It is bizarre.

[Mike]

Very bizarre.

[CJ]

The Rho, or whatever, the replacement couldn't compete with it.

[Evan]

So they were like, well, we better just.

[CJ]

Yeah, but they're probably gonna just come out.

[Mike]

They're competing with some Ford actually sells the Raptor.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah, but they'll probably come. I bet. Yeah, they'll drop a 700 or an 800 horse.

[Evan]

You gotta wonder though, because like if they're doing away with V8 engines due to emissions, that's.

[Ryan]

Back off now, I guess. Back.

[Evan]

That's good.

[CJ]

Oh, so it's just a whole marketing.

[Evan]

That's because different people now and different.

[Ken]

Different administrations have different rules and.

[Ryan]

Yeah, V8's back.

[Ryan]

H-E-L-P.com well, except for that Dodge Challenger EV. Dude, they just. I. I could have wrote the book for them on making that cool. It's exactly what it is. Except for with a thousand horsepower. Yeah, instead of like 540.

[CJ]

Oh, really?

[Ryan]

What were they thinking? All wheel drive. It's cool.

[Mike]

It's like six.

[CJ]

Oh, they made it our all wheel drive.

[Ryan]

It's all wheel drive.

[CJ]

That's lame.

[Ken]

And it's, well, you can say too expensive.

[CJ]

Oh, you. Oh, you can.

[Mike]

I have no idea. What Dodge is doing with electric Challenger because they're. They made. You know how it has the fake rev sounds. You can, like, turn it on. Like, they need to lean into it being electric, not make it electric and then lean into.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Trying to be a muscle car. You're right.

[Mike]

It doesn't make any sense. And then how, like, the gas version's coming out later.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It's just the weirdest thing. It's like coming out with a product that no one wants and then being like, we'll come out with the one that you will want after this.

[Evan]

Yeah. I just don't understand why you would take a sports car and then, you know, I can see why you'd make it ev, because EV has amazing performance, but you actually put a EV motor in a fast sports car. But you made us. You put a slow EV motor in it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Like everything else, EV is like, a thousand horsepower minimum. Like, Ryan's Hummer is a thousand horsepower.

[Travis]

What's the price point on it? It's got to be cheaper.

[Ken]

$80,000.

[Ryan]

That's like.

[Evan]

No, there's just one EV and they know.

[Ken]

They're trying to a Model 3 Performance, which is like 20 to 30 grand cheaper than that is. Also has more power and is faster.

[Evan]

Except you're driving around on a jelly, but.

[Ken]

But you're saving money and it's faster.

[Evan]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, it just doesn't really make sense. I like the idea of it. I think it's cool they did an electric one. They just should have made it fast. I agree with Ryan. 1,000 horsepower.

[Ryan]

Because, like, the 600 horsepower Hummers, like, I would have never gotten one if it didn't have all the power. Like, that's what makes that thing cool. Because there's probably nothing else cool about it that you guys will tell me about, but, like, the fact that it's.

[CJ]

Fast, it has that much horsepower.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It's so fun. Last night, I was in a hurry, driving fast. Dude, I think I drive that thing faster than my vet. It's just so easy.

[CJ]

Really.

[Evan]

Just quiet, too. You're just zooming.

[Mike]

Yeah, I guess.

[CJ]

Maybe I forget because it's so big.

[Ryan]

You can take her for a ride. You can take my Hummer. I'll take the urus.

[CJ]

All right.

[Ryan]

Month or two. You think we want to switch? Probably switch back in the spring or something.

[Evan]

I'll trade you the G Wagon for day. That'd be fun.

[Ken]

Me?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Well, I just gave it to Ryan.

[Evan]

No G Wagon for Hummer. No not the home.

[Ryan]

Oh, no. Sorry. You'd have to trade with me. I'm already driving.

[CJ]

Pretty soon the whole crew is just, like, intermixed.

[Ryan]

Well, not to switch gears too much, but when Evan was talking about the vintage ride. My buddy was at a vintage ride this weekend and sent me this video of this guy racing.

[Travis]

Oh, he hit the truck.

[CJ]

What the, bro? I was not expecting that.

[Mike]

I'm glad to see that he's on the ground far away.

[Travis]

And this is why you wear your tethers, kids.

[Evan]

That wasn't good.

[Mike]

That wasn't good.

[Evan]

Who's responsible for that?

[Ryan]

That.

[CJ]

I mean, the guy. The guy riding for sure.

[Mike]

The throttle just got stuck o.

[CJ]

That.

[Evan]

That was a trx, wasn't it?

[Ryan]

No, it's a rebel.

[CJ]

Dude. I hope nobody was in the passenger.

[Ryan]

So I asked my friend that was there One buddy was wearing a tether, and it didn't work. Supposedly old sled, but there was a lady sitting in the passenger seat, and she did get a little banged up, but she's all right. But, yeah, I mean, gnarly if I can get it right on impact there. Boom.

[CJ]

They're lucky that the ski didn't go through the window or something.

[Ryan]

Pretty solid.

[CJ]

The airbag definitely went off, though. It had to have.

[Ryan]

Can you imagine? You're driving down the road and you just get hit by a freaking. A freaking enticer or whatever the heck this thing is at like, 35 miles an hour from the side.

[CJ]

Dude, that is crazy.

[Travis]

Calling the insurance company. Yeah, I got hit by a snowmobile. Like, oh, how's the rider? Oh, he's fine. He. No one was on the sled. I just got hit by a sled.

[Mike]

I really wonder how that works for insurance. Is the. The truck insurance? It's like, he obviously doesn't have insurance on his vintage snowmobile that he's riding on a closed course.

[Travis]

That looked like a pretty makeshift track. But I wonder if it could come.

[CJ]

Back to the track, because, of course.

[Travis]

Property, which would suck, but.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that sucks.

[Travis]

You're going to shut down a ring on somebody. And, yeah, buddy was probably running the illegal tether setup. They probably say you have to have a tether. So he just stuck one on there.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Intended to hook into it. Classic.

[Ryan]

Probably a whole cluster.

[CJ]

Yeah. I can't imagine the insurance company is going to like that for the truck or, like, let it be.

[Ryan]

That's what sucks about doing anything. There's always somebody who will come after you, even if, like, the guy doesn't and whatever. Hopefully they could maybe settle it out of insurance, you know, that would just.

[Evan]

Suck because you weren't doing anything wrong or like it's like such a far out consequence, you know, it's like not something you would think of. Like if we were, if we were gonna duct tape the throttle of a snowmobile and send it off a jump and it for some reason went rogue and then hit a vehicle, I. I would be like, that's what you get.

[Ryan]

Yeah. For duck.

[Evan]

You know, that guy's just going about his business, just riding on a snowmobile course and, you know.

[Mike]

Right.

[Evan]

You really wouldn't have expected that.

[Travis]

Might just be a bad mechanic. And he had a bad throttle set up.

[Ryan]

It was cold. Maybe something froze on the throttle. You know, nothing works when it's cold. But yeah, bad luck's a doozy. Made me think of our buddy Steve. Steve Hamilton. He had his senna wrecked. Somebody else was driving it, got T boned. It's like one of very few car worth millions of dollars. And he just took delivery of his Hennessey venom. And he was like, yeah, well, this car is kind of like the American equivalent of the Senna and it's the same color. And he goes, well, we were driving a Texas Roadhouse when the Senate got t bone. So he goes, we might as well finish it off and like go to Texas Roadhouse on this one. Which made me remember that in high school I had like this girl that I liked, but she didn't like, like kind of like me kind of liked another guy. Kind of didn't like me. Yeah.

[CJ]

All right.

[Ryan]

We go to Texas Roadhouse. I'm turning like 16. They throw me up on the Texas Roadhouse stool. Everybody starts singing. I'm having a great time. And I look up and she's on a date with another guy. Like right across the restaurant. No, right there. And I went, fuck Texas Roadhouse. That like, that sucked. You know, they put me in this bad spot then.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's 100% their problem then.

[Ryan]

Well, that's what you, you think. You think there's no way it can be. Then two years later, me and this girl are dating.

[CJ]

Like the same chick.

[Ryan]

No, another girl. Sorry. Me and a girl are dating. Like we're, we're going steady. We go to Texas Roadhouse. Just by chance, one night we go to Texas Road. I have something to eat.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Next week breaks up with me.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's got to be Texas Roadhouse.

[Ryan]

And I legit after that. I would not step foot in a Texas roadhouse because I was so dishes about. I Was like, texas Roadhouse, bad luck.

[CJ]

Interesting.

[Mike]

You're over there, like, Steve. I get it, dude. Texas Roadhouse.

[Ken]

I did.

[Ryan]

I text him. I go, I get it, man. Texas Roadhouse, bad luck.

[Travis]

You just need to skip the buns. I think the. The luck is in the buns.

[CJ]

Yeah, right? Could it. Could it have been that she watched you house, like, 14 buns?

[Ken]

Oh, for sure.

[Ryan]

Probably. Dude. They got free refills on Mountain Dew over there. I'm sure I had 15.

[Mike]

The last time that we were at Texas Roadhouse, we recruited one or two gals for Gavin speed dating.

[CJ]

Yes, we've had pretty good luck at Texas Roadhouse.

[Ryan]

That's what I'm saying now. Love isn't dead. Neither is Texas Roadhouse. It's all good.

[CJ]

Yeah. What are the odds that, like, you got your heart broken at Texas Roadhouse? Twice. And we tried to recruit women from Texas Roadhouse to complete Gavin's heart, and.

[Ryan]

We get two of them. It just. I had to sacrifice that for Gavin in the future.

[CJ]

Yeah. I don't know. If I were you, I'd probably just keep your current girl away from Texas Roadhouse. You think? With your track record, I wouldn't mean. It's probably not.

[Ryan]

Probably not worth.

[CJ]

Probably not worth the risk at this.

[Ryan]

Point, I was kind of thinking that, but I'm not a Longhorn Steakhouse guy. Texas Roadhouse is way better. Hey, what are you doing?

[Mike]

It's Dalton. The guy with no wisdom.

[Travis]

He looks less ridiculous than he did last Monday.

[Evan]

Oh, my gosh. Pulling up.

[Dalton]

Dude, I'm so high right now.

[Mike]

Really?

[CJ]

Still? How did you get here?

[Dalton]

Teleported.

[Evan]

You drive yourself?

[Dalton]

My mom drove me.

[Evan]

Oh, nice. Where's she at?

[Dalton]

I told her to dip.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Dalton]

I'm stuck with you guys for the rest of the day?

[CJ]

Well, that's cool.

[Evan]

Whose responsibility are you?

[Dalton]

What?

[Travis]

Who's gonna keep track of you?

[Dalton]

Well, you.

[Travis]

I don't think you want that, bro. You're vulnerable, dude.

[Dalton]

I'll just be chilling in the background. I'll have a camera in my hand. I'll be all right.

[CJ]

Those two statements don't go hand in hand. Chilling in the background and have the camera in your hands doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

[Ken]

Do you really trust Evan to take care of you?

[Travis]

I thought he was exaggerating a little, but I looked into his eyes.

[CJ]

He's high.

[Evan]

How's it feel, Dalton? Do you like it?

[Dalton]

The wisdom teeth hurt, but, I mean, the high makes it better.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

All right, Dalton, you're being a bad influence right now.

[Dalton]

Sorry.

[Mike]

But yeah, like, once that. Did they give you any pain medication? Well, yeah, I was just wondering. Some people don't. Don't like it, some people don't take it.

[Travis]

He's got a permagrin on.

[Mike]

Yeah. Once that high wears off, make sure you get your medication and exactly when they tell you to because otherwise it'll really start hurting.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I'm gonna try to stay at the pain meds. Maybe take some Tylenol or something.

[Mike]

Okay, there you go. Exactly. So no pain meds for you.

[Ken]

How far post op are you?

[Dalton]

Like an hour or so.

[Evan]

Just pulls back up. Still pretty good. Pretty good.

[Ryan]

The way you're looking again right now is just so funny.

[Dalton]

There you go.

[Ryan]

Just don't overdo it because I overdid it with my wisdom teeth and it sucked. Dude. I. I got mine done on Friday, and then on Saturday I went snowmobiling because I thought I was good.

[Mike]

And what happened?

[Ryan]

Bad news bears. I got three or four dry sockets and it was like the worst pain ever.

[CJ]

So, Dalton, hold on. You were telling us a little bit that your nurse was following you on Tick Tock and Instagram for your thirst traps or something like that?

[Dalton]

Yeah, dude. I guess I woke up and I'm like, in a completely different room than I was when I started. And then like, this. This girl was like, yeah, I know who you are, or something. Like, I follow you on Instagram and I guess I don't know where it went. I don't really remember what I said.

[Mike]

She said anything.

[Evan]

She was kind of trying to put the moves on you. Anything.

[Travis]

Did you do this?

[CJ]

Yeah. So the picture. The picture that we saw, it looked like you were thirst trapping or like whatever the kids are doing these days. Like that.

[Dalton]

I thought about CJ and what he does, and I was like, yes.

[CJ]

Wait, so you do that?

[Evan]

No. When I'm making fun of him and all the other Tick Tock guys, that's.

[Dalton]

The first thing I thought of. So I did it. And I don't. I. Yeah. I don't know where it was. I think she.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Travis]

You should go make a tik tok right now before this wears off.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Might be your most viral one yet.

[Mike]

With you, I will some good lore.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah. What are you guys going to do?

[Travis]

You could drive right now. We should go do some stunts.

[CJ]

That's a good idea, actually. You could do it on the property so it's under a controlled environment. And you put a blindfold on, and Evan will tell you where to drive.

[Travis]

He could just flip that Mouth, brace off and he's got a blindfold on already.

[Ryan]

Mouth, don't hurt it.

[Ken]

Don't do that. Don't do that.

[Mike]

I mean, he's not going to die.

[Ryan]

That's. Imagine how Ken was with the propane. Stop.

[Evan]

Delicate with situation.

[Travis]

What do you think is going to happen if he's not wearing that kid? Probably fine.

[Ryan]

I do not want you to get hurt and then your mother have more to take care of. I'm really hoping you didn't drive here because I. I don't know if we.

[Ken]

Can take care of you.

[CJ]

Yeah, we don't want to. Let's just say take responsibility for you for the rest of the day.

[Dalton]

I'll take responsibility for myself.

[CJ]

Yeah, it looks right. Yeah, that's cool. Dalton, you kept your. You kept your mouth shut, right? Like when you were all drugged up, you didn't start saying anything or spreading any information, huh?

[Dalton]

Yeah, certainly 3ndas. Even if I wanted to say something, I literally.

[CJ]

Just making sure that no doctors or nurses know about you and Evan's little escapades when the cameras are off.

[Dalton]

No, none of that stuff. Speaking of which, I gotta go get camera stuff ready, but here you go.

[Mike]

See ya.

[Ryan]

You gotta go to bed, young blood.

[Ken]

Go lay down.

[CJ]

Is this.

[Evan]

No.

[CJ]

Serious?

[Mike]

I think.

[Evan]

Dude. Just a beast, dude. He's just a beast.

[Mike]

I never got put under when I got my wisdom teeth out. Really, really very whack. But so like that, me watching videos of people, like, just waking up has always been really entertaining to me. Cuz, like, well, what's the difference between.

[Travis]

Like, if you're more loopy if they don't put you under? Because then you're on all the laughing gas shit.

[Ryan]

Mmm.

[Mike]

I think when they put you under, you.

[Travis]

I second. I think you snap out of it.

[Mike]

Yeah, I was dazed for a second. I would say I was in a.

[Ken]

Daze, like for the rest of the day. Like I just went home, went to bed.

[Evan]

I wish we could have picked Canada. His wisdom teeth.

[Mike]

So, like, what's the difference?

[Evan]

We been with him.

[Mike]

Like when I had surgery on my foot, that's just like anesthesia. You're just out. And I remember waking up and being groggy because I think you're out so hard. Is that what it is? And then wisdom teeth, they wake up and they're like half in half.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It's different because I think some. It's something different with the face because I remember when I got my tonsils out, I wasn't. Wasn't loopy when I woke up.

[Mike]

Oh, because that was more of a.

[Ryan]

Oh, I don't know.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Travis]

I ate a bunch of brownies, like, right afterwards and got up. They were burnt. I got all the, like, burnt. It was like brownie rocks, like, down in my.

[Mike]

Nod you.

[CJ]

That was a good idea.

[Travis]

No one I didn't want to vape because I was worried I was going to get dry sockets. So I thought I would eat some THC brownies. So I thought I was being smart.

[Ryan]

Were you?

[Travis]

No. I had to. I was flushing it out with that little syringe they give you, and it was bleeding all over, I don't know, eight years ago or something.

[Evan]

I never got my wisdom teeth out.

[Ryan]

That's why you're so smart.

[Mike]

It's not that bad.

[CJ]

And I have my wisdom teeth too, Ryan. So what?

[Ryan]

That's what I'm saying. That's why you guys are smarter than me. He's back.

[Travis]

He doesn't even know he's been here already.

[Evan]

Just imagine what's up? Like a scenario where Ken's getting his wisdom teeth out, and we're like, oh, yeah, yeah, we'll pick him up. And you go to pick him over the door, and as soon as they bring him out the door, we put him into the car, and then we're like, oh, like, we do some kind of quick one on him. He gets, like, all dressed up as a clown. Like, I could just see us, like. Like just putting him in some goofy situation where he's like, if we were.

[CJ]

To do that, something tells me that we would, like, get in the. In between Ken and, like, his appointment and column and be like, all right, so let me explain this for YouTubers. Do the whole thing, and we put Ken under, and then we're fucking with them so hard, like, they don't even do the surgery. So he wakes up, we like. And then, like, the next day, he's. He's like, wow, it still feels like I have teeth back there.

[Evan]

Oh, no. Oh, yeah, go back in there.

[CJ]

Yeah, they didn't do the surgery. We figured that was too much of a liability if we were messing with you afterwards.

[Mike]

If you woke up and you're supposed to get your wisdom teeth out but you didn't, would you be like, oh, it kind of hurts?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You know, Ken would be like, ah, the guy have dry socks?

[Travis]

I got a broken river or something.

[Ken]

Well, thank God I did that 15 years ago.

[CJ]

So being put under sucks, though. Like, you just wake up so groggy.

[Ryan]

When was your last time when your.

[CJ]

Appendix I got put under for my appendix, and then I got put under for my hernia. That was a while ago. And then I got put under for my endoscopy. When they go into my stomach with.

[Travis]

A camera about the colonoscope.

[CJ]

No, I see why he prefers to be awake. I got a towel for that one. Bit onto it.

[Ryan]

Really?

[CJ]

No, I didn't need a towel. So we got a. A new bulldozer from our good buddy Rich. I don't know if. Did we talk about that on the last pod? So our friend Rich called and was like, hey, I've got this buddy that I sold my dozer to that's selling it. It's for a great price. You guys should buy it if you. If you're looking at doing any more track work. And we're like, yeah, well, yeah, it makes more sense because we spent 10, 15 grand on a rental last year. So we're like, if we're going to do that again this year. And Rich was selling for, like, 23 grand. So we're like, oh, it makes sense, right? So we're just like, all right, we'll take your word for it. Looks like a good dozer. If you say so. We'll buy it. So we, like, wire his buddy the money, and Ken lines up, transport.

[Ryan]

It gets to our shop, ship that sucker from Texas.

[CJ]

And it was 15 below out. And, like, the thing was just solid. It was, like, frozen solid. The gas was obviously frozen solid because.

[Evan]

It was gelled up.

[CJ]

The diesel. Yeah, it was like number two diesel. And. And it was straight from Texas. Couldn't have been any more pure.

[Mike]

But the best part, even more gelled up than the diesel, was the. What was the hydraulic fluid and that thing?

[CJ]

Hydraulic fluid.

[Mike]

Basically a giant hydraulic pump.

[CJ]

The batteries were frozen up. So, like, it was, like, so frozen solid.

[Ryan]

And it's a dozer. You can't just drag it inside.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Which is the problem with it.

[Evan]

That's where the best part comes in, is that the delivery driver, per usual, was so Russian, knew no English, and he's out there. He already unhooked the freaking trailer from his semi, and he's, like, ready for us to unload it, but the thing won't start. So I'm trying to explain to him it's not gonna start. Like, we're not gonna be able to get it going out here in the freezing cold. We need to get inside to this building. But he knows no English, and he's wearing, like, a full face, like, ski mask type of thing. And the way he Was like, no English. No English. Like, I thought he was Spanish. So then I take out my translator and I start, you know, typing in, like, okay, this, that. So I'm like, yo, S. You know, he starts speaking Spanish to this guy and then he just goes. He gets pissed. He goes, I'm rushing, bro. I'm Russian. They shakes his head and just walks away. So I have to, like, kind of.

[CJ]

Regroup after, like, happened to him before.

[Evan]

I have to regroup. I have to go get something again. He, at this point, he's in his truck, so I'm like, knocking on it. He, like, looks at me, doesn't even move. Comes back, comes out. I'm like, all right. Like, I'm trying to explain to him, we need to hook it up. And then you need to weave it into the building so we can heat this, you know, get it warm enough to then drive off the trailer.

[CJ]

Keep in mind, there's not a straight shot to back up a trailer.

[Evan]

Super wick. Like, just wacky things.

[CJ]

It's like a 90 degree angle.

[Evan]

Yeah. So then basically we get this guy to. He. He gets it in there after like, like 20 minutes of the door wide open in negative 15. So now the whole shop is freezing cold as well. So we get the thing down. We're sitting there and trying to get it going. End up spending like four or five hours with this Russian guy. So at that point, we're friends because I was like, you know, there's just some kind of, like. I'm so pumped. By the time he finally gets this thing in, he was like. He was driving, like, kind of like Ryan when he's mad, like, shifting into, like. Oh, yeah, either reverse or drive while you're still going backwards or forwards, you know, like. Yeah, just like. Like he was tick. Trying to get this thing in. Finally gets it in. And then I was so happy that he was happy. So we started hanging.

[CJ]

Brought him home, lunch in the G wagon.

[Evan]

He's got the FaceTime on. He's got his Russian friend. And, like, I don't know what the guy's saying. But the best part was he just kept getting a little angry at, like, Dalton because Dalton's just there filming the whole time. I'm just like. I'm just like. I don't even know what's up with this guy. He's just always filming stuff.

[Travis]

And he had that fresh spray tan on.

[Evan]

Yeah. He was thinking, what the frick is going on?

[CJ]

Yeah, he never really gathered it.

[Evan]

He never really gathered it.

[Mike]

The best part was, is that yeah. So he had to spend all day with us. And then it came time to shine. The dozer started. It was still angry, very angry. And then we got it off, and we're like, okay, yeah, you can come.

[Travis]

And get your trailer 8 inches at a time.

[Mike]

Yes, it was the. It just. It was weird. It would only move a little bit at a time. It took us hours. And anyway, you guys were talking to him, and then CJ had spent so much time with him that he was feeling really comfortable. And then you're like, dude, it's like he can't understand anything.

[Evan]

You could literally say whatever you wanted.

[CJ]

But, like, if you.

[Evan]

When you say it. When you say it, you just, like, nodded your head, like, and say just some gibberish. You'll be like, nod the head and agree with you.

[CJ]

So you. Like, I don't speak English, but I. I know what's. I know what's from SpongeBob, you idiot.

[Evan]

Probably.

[CJ]

He probably knew Doodle Bob, dude.

[Evan]

I think he lost a lot of respect, actually, when I did that one. I should have came up. I should have just said some gibbers. I should have just been like, my friend Evan loves rubbing peanut butter all over himself, and then nod my head, and he would have just gibberish.

[CJ]

That's just facts.

[Mike]

Oh, that's great. Yes. We got a dozer, so that's cool.

[Evan]

Yeah. Hopefully it runs.

[CJ]

Dude.

[Evan]

Seems like it's gonna run pretty much from the rip.

[CJ]

Like, the wrenches just kept calling it our new piece of scrap metal. Like, they were so confident that it was going to be just such a pile of junk and that we had just spent a bunch of money on something that was going to just never work. And they would have been. They would have been right.

[Travis]

Could still be.

[CJ]

They could still be right.

[Travis]

Supposedly 100 hours.

[CJ]

Supposedly it runs now. And Gavin said that he drove it a little bit, but you can't really drive it, like, around the shop because it would destroy the concrete. So I don't. I don't know how much we've tested it, but let's hope that Uncle Rich didn't rip us off.

[Evan]

How are we going to get that thing over to our other land? You can't just drive it in the ditch.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah, we'll just ditch it.

[Evan]

Okay.

[CJ]

Imagine we go across everyone's driveways. They're just cracked.

[Mike]

You were more or less not serious, but you're like, so what? What are we gonna do? Like, we gonna drive it over there? And I said I would go as far to say as I would be pissed if I saw someone driving.

[CJ]

No, we'd have to do it at night.

[Ken]

Yeah, I don't think we even could with how, like, steep some of those ditches are.

[CJ]

You just take the road.

[Ken]

Oh, yeah, just absolutely destroy it.

[Ryan]

Focus on the two yellow lines. Keep them in the center.

[CJ]

And there's no way that they would figure out who it was. Right. Starts. It starts at our farm and it ends at our track. And there's a dozer sitting in the middle of it. We're like, you have no proof.

[Ken]

Complete coincidence.

[Mike]

So why do they call them bulldozers? A genuine question. Where did the bull come from? We need to get to the bottom of this. Like an excavator. That shit is an excavator.

[Ken]

Also called a crawler.

[Ryan]

In 1886, a bulldozer meant a large caliber pistol and the person who wielded it. People don't wield weapons like they used.

[Mike]

To mass, that's for sure. Yeah, dude. When they used to just have shootouts, like, was that as real? They'd just be like, hey, man, you can't be doing whatever you were doing in my town, so meet me outside in an hour and then we'll just turn around and try to shoot at each other.

[Travis]

I've been watching westerns. Again.

[Mike]

No, I actually don't really like westerns. Again, like, that's why that doesn't make sense to me. Like, they walked out there and then just like, whoever can pull it out. How often was it that they would both end up being shot or that they would miss? And then I feel like I'd be.

[Ryan]

Really good in a duel.

[Travis]

No, you don't think I would.

[Mike]

I wouldn't.

[CJ]

You never see me move quick. No, we know. We know that you wouldn't, Mike. I would say that. Oh, did we start yet? I'm not ready.

[Mike]

Well, that's like. It's pretty rare that they show a duel again. These are the movies, but where they like shoot multiple times, it's always just like one shot and one guy hits and one guy doesn't.

[CJ]

I don't know, Mike. We'll have to. We'll have to get educated by our western friends next time we're out.

[Mike]

West didn't kill me because I had to stop watching. My pocket.

[CJ]

What are the odds?

[Travis]

Pocket watch. They didn't have stopwatch.

[Mike]

Yeah, sorry. Pocket watch.

[Ken]

Take this with a grain of salt. This is from Google's AI. Comes from the idea of using brute force to move things out of the way. Similar to how a bull Uses its horns.

[Mike]

That honestly, makes more sense than anything to me.

[Ken]

Take it with a grain of Salt.

[Mike]

It's Google AI, but it is what it is.

[Ryan]

Similarly, equipmentworld.com says the term dozer originally referred to as the steel plate and an operating mechanism attached to the front of what cat used to call a tractor.

[Mike]

Okay, so the dozer is. Originated from the blade. It was always, like, a crawler or a tractor. And the bull came from quite literally, a bull.

[CJ]

Dude. I'm so excited for it, though. I think it kind of unlocks a bunch of opportunities. Build really cool stuff that would normally maybe just take, like, more time than it was worth. Or in that, like, usually we'll have it for, like, a week or two. And we're like, all right, we don't have that much time. Just do this, fix that. Yeah, but now we can, like, build a new couple new tracks over at the land. We can fix the dirt bike track. We're gonna start riding more dirt bikes. I've been trying to convince Evan to ride more dirt bikes with me, so build a, you know, a couple more tracks.

[Ken]

The way you told me we were buying this made it seem like you. You did it in the troll tone. Like, hey, what do you think of this dozer? We just bought it.

[Mike]

Well, you spired it out.

[Ryan]

I was like, still doesn't know.

[Mike]

You know, it's a yes from me. And then, like, an hour later, you're like, bought it. And I was like, no, we did not.

[CJ]

Well, it's like, a $50,000 dozer. We paid 20 for it.

[Ken]
