Massive.

[Ryan]

Big weekend coming.

[Mike]

Potentially the largest.

[CJ]

I did tell Gavin that you. You two could room together. Ken.

[Mike]

Something tells me Ken's already got his rooms booked last year.

[Ken]

So. Does Gavin have his own room?

[CJ]

No. I got him sleeping in your bed.

[Mike]

Nice.

[Ben]

Besides for every time that he moves around and he knocks something over because he doesn't know his own size, just

[Ken]

flails his arm around left and right.

[Mike]

So yeah, we go to Vegas this weekend for Ben's bachelor.

[Ben]

My Bach party. It's going to be a crazy weekend. I'm excited.

[Mike]

His planner book for four weeks now.

[CJ]

I think it's set up for. For an amazing time.

[Ben]

Oh, it's going to be an amazing time. It's so fired up thinking about it.

[CJ]

Great time. We got a good crew coming. You know, all the homies, pretty much everyone that you can think of that the listener or viewer has seen. Plus some more. It's a good crew.

[Evan]

I think this is the longest run I've been on without making an appearance in Vegas.

[Ben]

My. Mine too. I haven't been there in like a year and a half.

[Evan]

He was the last. I was with you guys when we were traveling last March. March.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Over a year.

[Evan]

Cheap car challenge.

[CJ]

So you guys have saved a lot of money not going.

[Ben]

It's been good. Yeah, it's been good. Haven't. Haven't wasted any money, lost any money. But yeah, I'm excited. We got a lot of good stuff planned. I'm just excited to have all my like, all of my friends together in one spot.

[Evan]

It's kind of crazy though, isn't it? Like kind of like two worlds colliding.

[Ben]

Oh, it's like seven worlds colliding.

[CJ]

Yeah. We got like 20 people coming. It's a big ass, it's a big crew.

[Ben]

It's kind of hard cuz like everywhere you go with 20 people, it's.

[CJ]

It's very impractical.

[Ben]

Yeah. It makes, I mean, very unrealistic. Getting into like restaurants or really going places with, with 20 people. It's like a classroom.

[Evan]

Like.

[CJ]

Yeah. It's like literally bringing a elementary class on a field trip.

[Ben]

Yeah, like straight up. But yeah, we're going golfing. We have like 17 times someone's going

[Evan]

to be done in the bar before the.

[Ben]

Literally just going off one. We were just closing up. 18, whatever.

[Mike]

Like the guy escorting you in or whatever. The bouncer. Okay. How many you guys got? Dude, it's just.

[CJ]

Keep going.

[Ryan]

20 guys in Vegas has to be

[CJ]

the equivalent of like, you just don't get let in.

[Ben]

Well, it's all about ratio. So it's like if you go to a club, for instance, with 20 guys, there's got to be like 40 chicks to 20 guys. Yeah. In, in the club for like 20 guys to get like let in.

[Ryan]

We're going to have a solid zero to 20.

[Ben]

Yeah. So negative. Yeah. And we've kind of always dealt with that. Like everywhere we go, obviously we got a big crew and never have any girls with us because our girlfriends like rarely travel with us because we're usually traveling for videos. So most of the time it's kind of hard to get in place. And then when our girls are with us, it's like you're fast tracked into these places. Like, oh, so this is what it's like to be a woman.

[Ryan]

That's why I think I had so much fun in Vegas the last two times that I went because there was girls there. So they were like, you guys want a table? You want to come into my house?

[Ben]

Definitely do the door different.

[Mike]

You have better attention.

[Ben]

Oh, the door, the door.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Dude, we should run this door party back. Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

I'll see if Nigel's DJing, he'll probably

[Mike]

make some calls for us.

[Ryan]

Ev. The, the cheeto wrap is coming off.

[Evan]

It is.

[CJ]

It's actually coming off quite nice, all things considered.

[Ryan]

What was the breaking point? Because you could have taken it off. You know, we said, like, what, a month or something like that, that you were, you know, you were going to keep it, and then after that, you were like, ah, I think I'm going to take it off.

[Evan]

Yeah. I mean, I just tried to, you know, just. You guys went through a lot of work to get it wrapped, so I just wanted to, you know, appreciate it, make it worth it. Yeah.

[Ben]

That is nice of you, which I was glad. I'm glad that you did that. You know, some people on this podcast don't look at it quite the same of, like, the efforts that we go through for these gifts, you know, having. Having the enjoyment and just pretending at least that you liked it. I appreciate that. You know, and it's. You know, it's not everyone on this podcast, but a couple people on this podcast.

[Evan]

Yeah. You know, some guys can't even make it 45 minutes without literally having a meltdown. So I felt like I did pretty good. Yeah, but.

[Ben]

And we actually never told you that you had to keep it. You could have ripped it off the day of, and we would have been like, well, you didn't want to roll around with a Cheeto wrap, but I think. I think you were just, quite frankly, too lazy to do it.

[Evan]

Not.

[Ben]

It is a lot of work up until this point.

[Evan]

It's not lazy. It's because the. They had to cut a bunch of the red wrap off underneath it.

[Ben]

Oh.

[Evan]

So it's like, it's still super.

[CJ]

But what do you think? If you were going to get it rewrapped, is there a specific color? Would you want to do red again? Or do you. Is there a different color in mind? I mean, you could do any color.

[Evan]

It would be the same color. Red, or slightly adjusted to, like, the Lambo.

[Ben]

Oh, you really came around to that red, huh?

[Evan]

I never didn't like the red.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Ben]

I thought it started out with, I don't even like red. You guys are the ones that, like,

[Evan]

okay, if I would have, like, went to a dealership, I probably would have bought a white. Like, I like a white truck.

[Ben]

I could wrap it white.

[Evan]

No, because Dalton has a white trade. I don't want to look like that.

[Ryan]

You could trade with Dalton.

[Evan]

Honestly, like, when I go home for the weekends, I literally. The truck stays in my driveway. I've even parked it in my backyard a few times. Really? I'm not trying to blow my spot up, but, like, I literally don't drive it. Anywhere around here is not so bad because there's not that many people in town, but back home, I literally, like, refuse it. To take it to Duluth or take it out.

[CJ]

It's too distinct.

[Ben]

What exactly are you concerned about or worried about?

[Evan]

Every time, like, if I go to dinner, I come out, and it's a full fan meetup. Not that I don't like to meet fans sometimes if I'm just having dinner with my girlfriend, it's just nice to, like, get in the car and go home and not have your spots. My spot blown up all the time.

[Ryan]

It does.

[Ben]

I can see. I can see the issue.

[Evan]

I do appreciate all the fans, and I'm not mad at anyone that came up and checked it out, but it's like I go take a dump at the Casey's gas station on my drive out, Trying to be in a hurry on a Monday morning and five cars blocking me in. Yeah, I do understand.

[Ben]

Yeah, I see the issues.

[Evan]

But, yeah, no, it was literally this morning. Went to the cormorant store, just had a couple kids just admiring it. They were cool. Whatever. And I was driving to the farm to do a couple things. I pull in, I look at it. I'm like, today is the.

[Ryan]

No.

[Evan]

Got right back in, pulled over here, and just started ripping it off.

[Mike]

I know you're planning on getting it rewrapped. I'll probably get ganged up on for this. What is wrong with silver? I'm like, dude, just peel. The red wrap is toasted.

[Evan]

Well, part of the reason is why I just don't really like silver. But it's not the worst. I kind of like that the wrap protects it like that. Silver is actually in really nice shape. It was, like, wrapped at what, like, 70,000 miles?

[Mike]

Yeah, it's in.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You're worried about your. You're worried about your paint, but you drove that thing literally into the ground.

[Evan]

No, but I feel like the wrap, like, the paint is so meant underneath it. It's like, someday, if I actually do want to sell it, you rip it off, and it looks really nice. Like, right now, I drive it, and it's, like, getting scratched by tree branches and stuff. It, like, doesn't matter.

[Ryan]

Protecting the wrap is.

[Mike]

That's true. If you're okay with, you know, like, how it has, like, the kind of line in the court, like, all the, like, grooves and lines have the rat blown out of it. But you do have a point. Yeah, you could pat. But I guess what I'm Saying is like, if you're okay with that looking like shit, it is still better off with the wrap.

[Evan]

Yeah, I mean, I am gonna patch it in. It's really just like the hood and the roof really got faded where the patches don't work that good. But on the doors and everything, like I said, you're not bandaids all over

[Mike]

it and it's not gonna rewrap it.

[Evan]

I don't know anyone else. I want to wrap my truck for free.

[Ben]

That'd be saying, I'm sure there's someone out there.

[Evan]

I just don't have, like five or ten grand to like, throw it. The wrap still. The red is for me, is still acceptable from 20ft away, it still looks fine. So it's like, I just. Other things I would buy before dropping a bag on.

[Ben]

I get that. No, I actually get that. I feel like it's like, pretty hard to justify. Like, 10 grand is so much money to be spending on a wrap.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Just to change the color.

[Mike]

Yeah, dude, I know. Whenever it gets into that five figure point.

[Ken]

Five figures.

[Ben]

Sorry, we're back to the figures.

[Mike]

No, whenever it does, I genuinely. You're like, dude, I could like, repaint the car for this, you know, if it wasn't like a high end car. But speaking of blowing up your spot, I have, like, I put some concrete in front of my house and I was like, I'm gonna park the Viper in front of it this weekend. It was super nice. Oh, it was not a good idea, dude. I had, like, people that weren't subscribers, like, stopping, which is. I like, it's fine. And then I had subscribers stopping, and Sydney's like, you gotta move that thing. But I was kind of like, I was like, letting my ego get to me. And I was like, I kind of like it. And then my spot got blown. Like, if people didn't really know where I live, now they do, because, like, people would drive by just to see it. And then the neighbor came over and was talking to me for a while and he's like, this is just a random story. But he's like, yeah, my. One of my buddies had a Viper.

[Ben]

He drove that.

[Mike]

You know, they got real wide tires on them, don't they? He drove it in the rain and crashed it. And I was like, yeah, don't tell me that. Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

Story as old as time on a Viper.

[Mike]

It gets better or worse. I'm like, did he total it? He goes, yeah, he died.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

And then I go, oh. He goes, yeah, I think he had a guardrail and got, like, pretty much decapitated.

[Ben]

Holy shit.

[CJ]

That's horrible.

[Evan]

Wow.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You're just in your front yard next to your noted.

[Mike]

And then, like, I was just about to get in it and leave, so be careful.

[Ben]

Yeah, you really do got to be careful on those things.

[Ryan]

It is actually. Even with the wang and all the

[Mike]

downforce, I'd like to imagine that was in an older generation.

[CJ]

Yeah, for sure.

[Evan]

Widowmakers kind of back to the 10 grand on a wrap. It's pretty sad day. I sold my dirt bike. I no longer own a dirt bike.

[Mike]

Whoa.

[Evan]

So, like, certainly before I could justify.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Putting a sticker on my truck.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

You acquire. Acquire a dirt.

[Mike]

And the people are wondering, what would a guy like you get?

[Evan]

Dude, I. I don't know.

[Ryan]

If.

[Evan]

Rocks. If Roxanne secures the bag, then a Suzuki.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Suzuki.

[Evan]

I don't know. I kind of kick start.

[Ben]

Kenny's gonna secure it. Okay.

[Mike]

So I suppose this podcast will have already gone out, but right now, Hunter Lawrence and Kickstart Kenny are one point away going into Salt Lake City, final round of Supercross.

[Evan]

This is Saturday. Is gonna be insane.

[Mike]

Whoever wins, wins.

[Ben]

That's best.

[Evan]

Yeah. Webb is like 30 something points back, which I don't.

[Mike]

So Evan and I have been rooting for Kenny since the start of the season. But then Hunter, for years.

[Ben]

He's an og. Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

He deserves.

[Mike]

And then Hunter Lawrence had never won a race up until this year because his brother's fast and his brother's out this year. And now Hunter won his first race earlier this year and has just been rolling. It's gonna be crazy.

[CJ]

I wonder if there's a way we could, like, watch that. You know how they have, like, those big TVs.

[Ben]

Yeah, that'd be fun. Let's find that.

[Evan]

Or in the game where the bookies are.

[CJ]

That's what I was saying.

[Ben]

Yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

Like, that's what I was thinking.

[Mike]

Yeah. Sports book can't be fun place. Dude, we got it.

[CJ]

And then you could probably bet on it.

[Evan]

Certainly.

[Ken]

And while they're playing this weekend, too.

[CJ]

That'd be fun, too. Yeah. I've been watching a lot of hockey. They're in the playoffs.

[Mike]

That's cool.

[CJ]

Which is great. But they're against the Avalanche right now, and I don't think they're gonna win. The Avalanche is really good.

[Ryan]

And Dallas was hurt, so that's. That's what the wild haters are saying there.

[Mike]

You heard it here. I was genuinely curious. I'm like, what is the Wild Chances And CJ As a Minnesota Wild fan says, the Avalanche might.

[CJ]

I think Avalanche are going to take it. If I had. If I was going to put my money on, I'd put it on the Avalanche.

[Evan]

They played last night again.

[CJ]

Yeah, they lost.

[Ryan]

What can you bet on in Supercross? We were just watching the. The Kentucky Derby and.

[CJ]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ryan]

Actually, dude, I'm in on horses.

[CJ]

We gotta talk about.

[Ryan]

I get why people blow their. All their life savings on horse racing.

[Evan]

I just wish there was more races.

[Ryan]

I know. Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. Dude.

[Mike]

I couldn't believe.

[Ben]

I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it either.

[Evan]

Two minutes.

[CJ]

You should have seen it, though.

[Mike]

I was curious about that.

[Ken]

There was races all day. No, just nobody watched it until I

[Ryan]

watched an actual three limbs.

[CJ]

Well, anyways, I've. I thought it was even shorter than it already was because. So, like, I would go to Ken's.

[Evan]

That's what she said.

[CJ]

We showed up to Ken's and we're sitting there and you basically got like a random horse if you put 20 bucks in the thing. I got three horses and all three that I draw, they're shown on the screen. Like, literally the worst odds, you know. But essentially I had the same amount of money as everyone else. I was like, well, I got screwed. I'm not gonna win anything. The race happens. It's basically like the straightaway, and they're at the end of the straightaway, and it pops up on the screen. It shows my horse is in the lead and I just jump up. I'm like, yeah, I'm cheering. And then. And then. I didn't realize they go around in a circle. I thought it was a drag race. Everyone just started laughing at me. I wasn't embarrassed, really, but it should have been an embarrassing moment. It was funny, though. Ben had it on video, actually.

[Ben]

Yeah, I did. I can pop it up here. But it started with, like CJ said, everyone gets their. Draws their horse out of the hat. And before the race even started, there was, like, this whole big debacle that went down before they got into, like, the shoots. And my freaking horse that I drew flipped over backwards before going into the shoot and hurt itself.

[Ryan]

Kicked him off.

[Ken]

Disqualified.

[Ryan]

Bucked off the.

[Ben]

The jockey that up, right? I mean, yeah, he was fired up. He would have won that, too if he wouldn't have just blown his load before the freaking shoot.

[CJ]

Like, as old as time.

[Ben]

And then.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And then I was like, do I get to redraw? And they were like, nope. Sorry.

[Ryan]

I was like, what the fuck?

[Ben]

Yeah, this is Insane. I'm bad at gambling. Bad at gambling. But at least usually I have a horse in the fucking race. This time I didn't even have a horse in the race. How crazy is that? Yeah, like I was like, I'm so

[Mike]

unlucky actually betting on a team that just didn't play.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

We almost got to back up a bit. So we filmed it. It was in last week's video.

[Evan]

We.

[Ben]

We show up to.

[CJ]

To Ken's basically first house party. At least first house party that we heard of and you know the great

[Mike]

bind themed the Kentucky Derby.

[CJ]

Yeah. So that's why everyone was dressed up.

[Ben]

I would say we more trespassed.

[CJ]

So we showed up.

[Ken]

Okay, continue. I'll. I'll let you. I'll let you do your.

[CJ]

Your story. We showed up, Ken's there with all his friends. His friends. Not his work friends. We're like his work friends.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So we walk in, we're like, what the hell is going on?

[Ryan]

Cuz we didn't know there was a

[CJ]

dress code, you know, realize, okay, everyone's dressed up for the Kentucky Derby and yeah, basically got to hang with Ken

[Ryan]

and his, his crew, his bachelor pad.

[Ben]

Congrats on the house, by the way.

[Ken]

It was actually. Thank you. It was actually a. A scope job is what it seemed like.

[Ryan]

A scope job.

[CJ]

Well, that was more of a.

[Ken]

You guys were scoping the place out.

[CJ]

Well, we would have liked to show up to the party regardless.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So anyways, we show up to this party.

[Ben]

That's more what it would turned into. Yeah. An invite would have been nice, but yeah, sure.

[CJ]

Check the camera situations. When I was at that party, I walked around the outside, looked at where all his cameras are. So that way I'd know.

[Evan]

That is pretty funny. Ryan had photo photographs. I did the same thing that we were at.

[Ryan]

It was actually that I was just standing looking at it and I go, damn. Like I've been to a lot of nice houses, you know, that are friends of friends or whatever, but I go, damn, dude. Like this, this is my boy's house. I was standing looking at it. I took a picture of it because it looked good. Happened to come in handy later when we were scoping out where the security cameras were.

[CJ]

So yeah, basically the reason we scoped out where the security cameras were is because obviously we had this housewarming gift. We order it like a. Like a year ago. And you guys saw it on the video. Ken, what do you think of it?

[Ken]

You shouldn't have. I mean, I just feel bad because I know Mac had to design that thing and he had to design the package of that thing.

[Ben]

We just, we just sent him the 3D rendering that we took of your body when you were sleeping.

[Ken]

Oh, that's even creepier.

[Mike]

That's the best part is when someone's like, oh, wow, it looks just like him. CJ goes, yeah, we 3D scanned his body.

[CJ]

So you didn't want it out front of your house, so.

[Ken]

God, no. I didn't want a marble statue with a twig and berries just proudly displayed.

[Ben]

I would not say berries.

[Evan]

Would you have rather had your truck wrapped like a Cheeto?

[Ryan]

It's a good point.

[Mike]

That's a great question.

[Ben]

Yeah. Which one would you take?

[Evan]

Honored to have that statue. And I would proudly show that off.

[CJ]

I'm actually going to take the statue. I want the statue at my house.

[Mike]

CJ did shake on it in the video.

[CJ]

I want at my house statue.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, I'll.

[Ken]

I'll deliver it to you. It's still strapped up and everything. We can go put it in the

[CJ]

rocks somewhere where the garden is. Break any sprinklers.

[Ryan]

Good point. If I wear. If I Google most famous statue of a man, it appears to be the statue of David. His dick and balls are out.

[Evan]

Small balls, though.

[CJ]

Yeah, he's got small beat on the nuts at least.

[Ryan]

And not a big.

[Evan]

Honestly now the English and like, some of the details that I know, me and Mike especially, were confused about after seeing these statues. It honestly looks, bro, you're doing great.

[Ryan]

Compared to this guy.

[CJ]

He looked at him.

[Ben]

He's literally got a button.

[CJ]

They got him inverted. He's fully inverted.

[Ryan]

It was cold out when they did a scan.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It looks like he almost looked at this statue. What is it called?

[Ryan]

The statue of David.

[Mike]

Statue of David. And then made it.

[CJ]

They just made it again.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

So I didn't realize the pose.

[Mike]

Yeah, the pose.

[CJ]

That's why he's doing that.

[Ken]

So I was as you guys are doing this, you cover up my cameras. And I was tweaking because some comments Ben was making on Saturday and just the general questions he was asking was

[Evan]

like, did you run us by a couple of those? Cuz I didn't hear them.

[Ken]

He's like, oh, that's a nice bed you got here. Which typically means if they ask a question ahead of time of, oh, how much does that cost? Where'd you get it from? How long did it take to get. Usually that means they're gonna with it. So I was like, oh, God, I'm gonna come up.

[Ben]

Where was your brain Going with what we were gonna do with your bed?

[Ken]

Well, I was just assuming. Oh, you're asking questions about my art as well.

[Ben]

Ken and I have. Those are genuine, genuine questions.

[Evan]

Supposed to be a conversation piece.

[Ryan]

He obviously appreciates the arts, but I know our gift was.

[Ken]

I know you're. You're process. When you're working on a prank, you're asking all these Ken periphery questions. Okay, if you think so low of me again. Well, I just know your process.

[CJ]

When we were at his house, he was following us around the entire time. Like, if Ben and I went upstairs, he'd just very shortly be up there. What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm just going to the bathroom. What are you doing in here?

[Ryan]

What?

[CJ]

I just washed my hands.

[Evan]

Did anyone use the porcelain? So I've heard a lot of stories

[Mike]

that it was one of the nicest bathrooms he's ever seen.

[CJ]

It was great. I will say your toilet was a little shallow for a guy.

[Ken]

It washes your ass, so it's fine.

[CJ]

Oh, I meant more so, like shallow in the front.

[Ken]

Yeah, because it. It's got the bidet on it.

[CJ]

No, I know.

[Ryan]

So it's shorter.

[CJ]

Like your wiener could just hang out the front.

[Evan]

Are you saying you have to, like, plug it like a cork? Like you need a tight seal?

[Ken]

No, no, because like, the bolt, like the opening pressure washing gets a little smaller.

[Mike]

Yeah. You get a long bowl, you're gonna have over.

[CJ]

You're going to spray. Yeah, I don't know. You definitely really got to like. You just got to like, really kind of tuck it in. You know what I'm saying? But anyways. Yeah. I will say though, Ken, you sure know how to throw one hell of a party.

[Ryan]

Dude, it was insane.

[CJ]

That was an insane party.

[Evan]

I saw.

[Ken]

I'm glad you guys had fun.

[Ben]

I heard that you were smoking cigarettes inside Ken.

[Ken]

We did smoke cigarettes.

[CJ]

You smoked cigarettes inside Ken?

[Ben]

Ken. I thought you weren't allowed. I thought we weren't allowed to smoke cigarettes in inside of anything. Yeah, the fish house.

[Ken]

It's on video. I lit the cigarette and then Gavin. I hand it to Gavin. Gavin starts smoking it, and then somebody runs up to him and rips it out of his mouth and runs it outside.

[Mike]

Thanks for calling.

[Ryan]

But you lit the cigarette.

[Ken]

I did light the cigarette.

[Ben]

On the stove.

[Ryan]

Which pro move.

[Evan]

That is so trap house.

[Ryan]

So trap.

[Ben]

Like cigarettes inside.

[Evan]

That's Ken.

[Ben]

You know, it's the stove light just is. I mean that it's hard to take you serious when you're making all these requests. Of us to respect your house when you're smoking cigarettes inside, Ken.

[Ken]

Well, you gotta. You gotta break it in, and then it's. Then you're done with it.

[CJ]

Ken, how are you feeling the next day?

[Ken]

Yeah, not too bad. I actually woke up, went to bed early. So that was.

[CJ]

Yeah. You were definitely.

[Ryan]

You weren't sore after falling down the stairs?

[Ken]

I. I was a little sore.

[Ben]

You fell down the stairs.

[Ken]

Well, I got. I got no handrail yet because it's.

[Ben]

I noticed no handrail is a serious liability.

[CJ]

I'm just gonna picture I took wood

[Ken]

steps and I just slipped and fell down him.

[Evan]

He did. He went down.

[Ryan]

It was.

[CJ]

He went down like a ton of bricks.

[Ryan]

They are slippery steps.

[CJ]

If there's one word that I would describe Ken with at his party, and it's bundled. He was bundled.

[Ben]

Bundled. Interesting. Okay, and then define bundled for me.

[CJ]

I. The only way I can really show it is just this picture.

[Mike]

I'd say, oh, my God.

[CJ]

His eyes were going two different ways.

[Ryan]

He looks.

[Ben]

He looks in the pocket.

[CJ]

Right? But he was bundled, and he was in a good mood. Though you did start going on, like, a big rant about how you hated plastic hangers, though, to everyone.

[Evan]

Is that two ladies, their legs slug across.

[CJ]

We're all smoking cigarettes at Ken's.

[Ryan]

Look at bundle, dude.

[Ben]

Bundled. Interesting word, cj Bundled.

[Ryan]

I kind of, like, he was just

[CJ]

like a shell of a human being.

[Ryan]

It's like you're so piled up that end up in a little bundle.

[CJ]

Bundle, dude. Like, he was melted into that couch.

[Ken]

So, cj, the next day, you know, we went to brunch, and.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Ken]

I see your. Your fiance's mom.

[CJ]

Okay. And what'd she say? Ken, I heard you were bundled last night.

[Ken]

She said, oh, I'm. I'm picking up some food for Ben and CJ and Alex. They're not. They're not feeling so hot today. But really, she was saying, we gotta have a conversation about this wedding because she doesn't want to see the. The Gavin intermission.

[Mike]

What? Huh?

[Ken]

She was not. Not thrilled about the idea of.

[CJ]

Do I get anything I want out of this. This wedding? Like,

[Ben]

it went so far that it had to go up to the higher ups of the. The food chain of the parents.

[Ken]

She, like. She said, we got to. We got to sit everyone down and have a conversation about it. Because she was not.

[Ben]

Because she. If, like, we're doing this. She wants it big.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's probably what.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's probably what she means.

[CJ]

She wants it big.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Ben]

She wants it insane.

[Ryan]

She's trying to not just have Gavin do it. She wants Dr. David there too.

[Evan]

Oh, a full on exhibition.

[Mike]

And this needs to be on the itinerary.

[Ryan]

Ken, it seems like you handled the party all right. Were your speakers blown?

[Ken]

Oh, yeah, we blew. Oh, just one of them.

[CJ]

Just blew them, Ken.

[Ryan]

Yeah, because Alondra was on music. I'm sitting there, we're outside, and it's so loud outside you can't talk. And the speakers are inside.

[Ben]

What?

[CJ]

Dude, it was so loud, you blew your speakers. Ken, this was the guy. When the neighbors came over, they were like, where's Ken? He was sitting like this.

[Ken]

Just one of them blue.

[Ryan]

Just one of them blue. So everyone was telling me to tell a laundry to turn the music down. And then every time you turn it down, you went louder. And then you come over and crank it up. You were in the settings cranking the woofers.

[Ken]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, it was lit, dude. There was. There was no. No arguing about that. It had the people moving.

[CJ]

Ken, you were like, flex on me too. Like, you were flexing on, like, well, Ryan, me. Like, you came up to me and you're like, try and beat this for your house. Like, and you, like, pointed at the speakers and I like, look up and then I just go, oh, I got three more in you. And you go, what? But I was just lying. But it was funny.

[Ken]

It's fun. Definitely fun having loudspeakers in the house. It was.

[Ryan]

It was fun as.

[Ben]

So what's it look like now? Like when you wake up the next morning and you're. You're walking around your.

[CJ]

Your.

[Ben]

Your new house that smells like cigarettes and you. I just need to, like, listen to something nice just to, like, soothe it. And you turn it on. It's.

[Ken]

I just put a different zone on. It's just one speaker. It was all good.

[Ben]

Were you reflecting with regrets?

[Ken]

Oh, why did I do that? But yeah.

[CJ]

Do you think this will be, like, what your house would be like all the time?

[Ken]

God, no.

[Ryan]

That's.

[Ken]

That's a. That's a one time party. It's at Ryan's house next year.

[Ryan]

So one party a week. Like, that's a Saturday.

[Ken]

No, no, no. It's a once a year. Kentucky Derby is only a one time a year thing. Well, obviously it rotate. It rotates host as well. Ryan, you're on duty for next year. So.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they already made a invite. I. I heard it was like, oh, who's having a party next year? And then. And then it was like, I think Ryan.

[Ben]

Ryan's like, I'll throw it. I'll throw it so I can get invited this year.

[Ryan]

All my boys are going to be invited. But no, it was on one of the guests of. Or one of the planners. More like of Ken's party. Yeah, his committee. His party planning committee. Because they did everything for you. It was lit. Ken was like the great Gatsby dude show. Well, he just was at his house, and then all the ladies brought food over and all that. I get the mom thing now. They take good care of you.

[Ken]

Actually, it was a laundry that wanted to do it, but.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, she does want to throw the party, and I'm pretty excited. I'm. I'm stoked. I'm going to have all you guys there. Dude, we'll burn the place down.

[Ben]

You know what you should do?

[CJ]

You should invite all of us. But Ken.

[Ben]

Oh, I don't know.

[Ryan]

I wasn't sending out the invite.

[Ben]

Ken's at home. I sent the invites out a year ago. Can you. Can't just blame the invites on the mail system.

[Ken]

Did you not get the invite to Ryan's party?

[Ryan]

Well, it's a year away. I haven't even sent the invites.

[Ken]

Invites got sent out yesterday.

[Mike]

I missed.

[Ben]

I guess I didn't make that one either.

[Ryan]

Don't worry, boys. If I'm in charge, you're getting invited. Ken. We'll see how your other parties are this year. And if we get invited, if you

[Ben]

start showing some appreciation towards your gifts.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So back to the gift. Sorry.

[CJ]

Yeah. None of those people got you a marble statue.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And chiseled.

[Ken]

Yeah. But having a statue displaying its twig and berries in my front yard in a neighborhood is not exactly the kind of vibe I'm trying to go for in my house.

[Ryan]

Again, it's art. And you could have clothed.

[Mike]

And you could have clothed it. I know you're a rational thinker sometimes, Ken. You could have clothed.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Trying to throw some Velcro underwear on there.

[Mike]

What if you got something better than Velcro underwear?

[Ken]

I. I just.

[Mike]

You're not thinking very critically.

[Ken]

Yeah, but I just don't want. That's not what I want.

[Evan]

I think.

[Ken]

I don't want that.

[Evan]

You could have themed.

[Ken]

It's kind of like one of those gifts somebody gives you and you're like, cool. I. I don't.

[Ben]

Okay, you can't be rude.

[CJ]

What would be a gift that you'd want to receive?

[Ryan]

It's a good question.

[CJ]

Genuine. Like, what is something that you would be happy if we got for you?

[Ken]

I don't know.

[Evan]

So hard.

[Ryan]

You'll figure it out eventually, I guess,

[Evan]

I guess we just got to keep trying, keep shooting from the hip and hopefully we, we get there. It's kind of like when you ask your girlfriend where you want to go to dinner and then you take her somewhere. It's never the, you know, quite the right spot. Yeah. But she won't give you input.

[Ken]

I just gotta say, like it's close, but it's like having a, just a dick and balls in my front yard is 10.

[Evan]

You could have.

[CJ]

Absolutely.

[Ben]

It was pretty small to every party

[Evan]

because you, you guys all work fancy outfits. You could have had a different outfits for your statue. Think about it, it would have been great. Everyone would have loved it.

[Ben]

You also could have put it inside too. We did give you that option.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Could have helped you move it to your back patio.

[Ben]

Yeah, we said we'll help you move this.

[Ken]

Yeah, I, I, I just moved it out cuz I didn't want that.

[Ben]

Like how legendary. You walk into somebody's house and they have a, a giant marble statue of themselves.

[CJ]

Well now imagine, take it a step further. How legendary is it? You show up to my house and I have a giant hand chiseled naked statue of Ken in my rock garden.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Ben]

So you want the naked statue at CJ's house where you don't have any control over what it's wearing.

[Ken]

Well, I said I just don't want it in my house. If you want it at your house, go ahead.

[CJ]

Yeah, so it's going to not do anything with it. The thing costs so much goddamn money doing a year.

[Mike]

I'm a little jealous. I was going to sick.

[Ben]

Oh, we could maybe do like a parade of home, you guys.

[Evan]

No, no, no.

[CJ]

It's going to my house. You guys were all like, oh, you taking to your house. And then I started saying like, yeah, of course I'm, it's going to be so sick. Now everyone's like, I wanted my house except for Ken, of course.

[Mike]

But I like that idea. Pray to home.

[Evan]

C.J.

[Mike]

locked it down until September 4th. Labor Day.

[CJ]

I'll run it till September 4th then. All right, fine. That's fine. At least for the summer. Then when everyone comes over, they see it.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, pictures with it.

[CJ]

I'll tell you some things that you could get me Ken that I would be happy about.

[Ken]

What's that?

[CJ]

You could buy my dinner. You could get me a case of beer, you could buy me a bottled water. I'd be happy about all of those.

[Evan]

I'd be stoked with the Same things.

[CJ]

Yeah. You know what? Pretty easy.

[Evan]

Please.

[CJ]

Gift card to Buffalo Wild Wings.

[Mike]

That's a title and thumbnail.

[CJ]

Ken's YouTube channel.

[Ken]

I buy C.J. a gift card.

[CJ]

I'd still be happy.

[Ken]

So stoked.

[Ryan]

Yeah, and I'd. I'd be just stoked with your presence at my party.

[Evan]

You know, presents presence.

[Ryan]

Like physical gifts. Being there being. Yeah, like, just, you know, having you around would be a gift for me. So you could come to my party that I'll invite you to. Unlike you not inviting us.

[Ken]

You guys were invited to this party.

[Ben]

The invitations were just the invitation, which is lost in the mail. Wrong.

[Ken]

Everything I say.

[Evan]

Never got an invitation. I'm like, 100, did it?

[Mike]

It was a hairy situation. I did lock down an invite. I wasn't a year.

[Ben]

Mike was invited, but he didn't go. The rest of us were.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, but, like, probably two months before it happened from one of your friends. I got an invite, and I thought she was inviting us to a party at her house, but it was actually with your address. And then I put two together, and then Sydney's like, I don't think we got the invite. And I'm not about going to parties that we're not invited to.

[Ryan]

Miss it. On the party of the century.

[CJ]

That is the number one rule, I guess.

[Ben]

Good point. That's why you wear a mustache. If you do go.

[Mike]

Is that what you did?

[Ben]

Yes. Ken didn't know I was there for 25 minutes.

[Mike]

That's pretty impressive.

[CJ]

When Ben took off his mustache, Ken was like, whoa, Ben, get out. That's what he said.

[Evan]

My camera is way more fine with a random stranger in his house than you.

[CJ]

Yeah, this Eduardo guy is. But he seems pretty. Pretty chill.

[Mike]

Ken's having his cameras AI write an algorithm to. To facial recognize just. Ben, call.

[Ken]

Call the cops immediately.

[Mike]

Immediately.

[Ryan]

Party at my house. Next year is gonna be crazy.

[Ken]

We might even burn the place.

[Ryan]

We decided we're either doing. We're gonna do either. Oh, burn it down.

[Ben]

No. He said, define we.

[CJ]

I said, what do you mean we?

[Mike]

I absolutely love to travel, but what I do not like is the bill that comes with it. The cost of traveling is high and I need to prepare my money ahead of time. So when the time comes to travel, I have the money set aside and that's why I love Monarch.

[Ben]

Monarch is the personal finance app that tracks everything accounts, investments, saving goals and spending. Get your first year of Monarch for half off just $50 with the promo code wide open.

[Mike]

Monarch keeps track of your money so you don't have to, which is something Money Mike definitely needs. Most apps only tell you what you've Already spent. Monarch is different because they help you set goals and prepare money for the future.

[Ken]

My favorite part is that Monarch has an AI assistant. I can ask questions like how much I spent on travel last year or if I can afford this trip to Vegas next month.

[CJ]

So use code wide [e-mail] to get your first year half off at just $50. That's 50 off your first [e-mail] with code wide open.

[Ryan]

Thanks, Mark.

[CJ]

Ken said we're gonna burn it down. What do you mean we? I don't know if you'll be there, Ken.

[Ken]

Yeah, Eduardo might make a. Ken's in there, buddy.

[CJ]

We're not that stupid. Not falling for that.

[Ryan]

First of all, I was smart, and I bought a house in the same neighborhood as Ben so he'll be up to no shenanigans because he doesn't want to drive property values down.

[Ben]

Oh, smart.

[Ryan]

Keep your enemies close and your friends even closer.

[Mike]

Can you imagine throwing a party, one party so hard that it drove your property value down?

[Ben]

Holy. Obviously, that's the same party.

[Ryan]

That's rapper type. Like, the rapper buys a house in a nice neighborhood. Or like Jake Paul when he used to throw the big parties in his neighborhood, and then the police would. News would come.

[Mike]

I can see it.

[Ryan]

I heard this quote the other day, and I. I kind of want to hear specifically one of your thoughts on where it came from. I don't know if you made it up or what, but the quote is, you'd cry if your ice cream was cold. And I was like, that goes hard. And I'm wondering where. I'm wondering where that was. I saw it on Tick Tock, a screenshot of it, and it was just. Had music in the background.

[CJ]

Oh, C.J.

[Ryan]

dropping bars. And it must have been a comment that was screenshotted.

[CJ]

Yeah, well, I heard that from the one and only. Who else but Grandparon? He said that since I was a little kid. But no, dude, some of these kids on Tick Tock will just, like, have like, a video of their dirt bike and be like, like, Seaboy's falling off. When I'm like, brother, first off, look at the analytics. We're not falling off. But second off, they're just saying it because then it gets like all these comments, all that, like. And people just love being negative. But anyways, I commented, you'd cry if your ice cream was cold. Because he was saying how he didn't like the last vid. And then literally he responds, omg. Like, I. I was just saying that to try and get Famous and like that. I'm dead serious. And then like, like, you know, then a bunch of people started like basically talking crap to him in the comments, but he still has it up.

[Ryan]

Support always wins as opposed to fake hate.

[Mike]

Yeah, it does remind me of when. What was when you asked the guy to take the tick tock down of the 47 when we were picking that up, you know, or someone, whoever picked

[Evan]

up when we asked him to take

[Mike]

it down and he like said he would, but he had so many views that he couldn't bring himself to do it.

[Ben]

Which one was that?

[Ryan]

When we bought the fake truck with the 4 7.

[Ben]

Glenn,

[CJ]

this is exactly what he said. Yo, CJ, sorry for the hate. Just trying to get popular. And then the next kid responds to that kid, he goes, damn, bro, you're fake as switched up fast.

[Ryan]

That's funny.

[CJ]

Oh, and then this other kick said, guess who is going to be on the podcast this week? Lol. Which is ironic. I wasn't planning on talking about it, but now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I. I just saw the quote. I actually saw another tick tock of the quote and I was like, damn, that's a bar.

[CJ]

There's like people folded under pressure. Don't switch up now. Anything for clout. Yeah, he's based. Omg, now you're apologizing. Like there's kind of like going after him.

[Ben]

But I think the thing about that though is like, I kind of just look at it like we have, you know, such a big audience and it's hard to please all of them week after week when we're doing it, like at the level that we are. Because at the end of the day, we're making content that we think is good. And if it wasn't, we would be the first people to say that. But that's just probably not the case. And they're the same people that are like, y' all are running out of ideas. When we do 100 people versus bulldozer a truck when that's just not the case. That's a good ass idea. That's just like the truth of it. Like, that's just a good idea. And we have videos doing. We have thousands of ideas. We're not running out of ideas anytime soon.

[CJ]

I think they just like, just having something negative to say. Like, honestly, well, it's the same people

[Ben]

that are just like, you guys need to ride dirt bikes. Go back to like riding dirt bikes and vlogging. And then as soon as we did that, they'd be like, wow, this content's getting a Little stale. All you do is ride dirt bikes and vlog.

[CJ]

They'd be like, wow, they can't come up with any new ideas. It's like, yeah, you're just not gonna win. So that's why I said you'd cry if your ice cream was cold, because they're gonna cry no matter what. People like that.

[Ken]

But anyone posting a negative comment, that's just gets way more traction and views

[CJ]

also saying, like, oh, yeah, no, exactly. And that's the thing is when they do that, then it's like it fires up the comments or whatever. And I swear, just. It's way easier to be negative than positive. And you'll see that with a lot of people. And it's normally people that aren't doing anything.

[Ben]

Yeah. I mean, I think it's always. Always people that aren't doing anything, but.

[Ryan]

And for the guys who want some dirt biking. Ice by sea. I see. I see the word dirt biking on this board quite a few times. Literally coming up this week. It's just 32 degrees out right now. Is. We got to get the track dialed in this week.

[CJ]

Yeah. But honestly, whatever.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I don't.

[CJ]

I really don't give a. We're gonna make the videos we want to make.

[Ben]

Yeah. Which is kind of the. The truth of the matter. Like, people that you think you can

[CJ]

make a better video than us, you should start making them, because I think we need more good YouTubers in the space. Honestly, it'll bring more people onto YouTube. It's only going to help us. And our videos are good. Suggest. I'd love it. If you guys think that you can make better videos than us, you should do it. Like, absolutely do it. It'll change your life for sure.

[Ryan]

You'll have a marble statue outside of your house.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

That you'll hate. And then give it back to whoever gave it to you.

[Mike]

That might be an anomaly. Ken is such an anomaly for that dude.

[Ben]

Ken, you really are in just such an island of your own here. Like, nobody listening to this podcast can relate to you. Like, not as single person listening right now is just like that exact same thing happened to me. Ken, I know how you feel.

[CJ]

You gotta be like the only person in the world to get a marble statue of himself and then hate it and be like, get it out of

[Ken]

here and just don't want it. We can move on.

[CJ]

It'd be like a. Remember that show Sweet sixteen?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

They're like, throwing this massive party, and then it's like, all right, you got to come out and see Your new car. And they're like, I didn't want the Audi, Ari.

[Evan]

I wanted a Lamborghini Huracan red. I wanted a pink tank.

[CJ]

The whole night's ruined.

[Ryan]

That was a crazy show. It was a crazy shows in those days.

[Ben]

It's kind of crazy to think that, like, producers were able to, like, coerce the. The talent or, you know, whoever they were filming, like, into doing the things that they did when, like, it's such a bad look on them.

[CJ]

I think they just did it. Some of these, you know, obviously some of them were.

[Ben]

But that's just. That is straight up reality.

[CJ]

This rich kid, your parents are gonna throw you this ex. Exuberant party. And they're. You're like, oh, sweet. And I get to be on TV now too, you know, like, absolutely true. But I never was really a birthday guy.

[Evan]

Really stay the same age.

[CJ]

Just wasn't. Yeah. Wasn't a birthday guy. I never really had many birthdays, like, parties.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Ben]

Siege.

[CJ]

I did, like, you know, when you were little, you'd, like, you know, have your friends go and you'd go bowling or something, but it.

[Ben]

Dude, we gotta throw CJ the ultimate birthday party.

[Ken]

I gotta make that up for you.

[Ben]

Like, birthday cakes, balloons,

[Ken]

fireworks.

[Evan]

How far out's your birthday?

[CJ]

May 15th.

[Ryan]

And on Friday next week.

[Ken]

Next week?

[Evan]

Oh, that's a while.

[Mike]

I mean, and. But CJ

[Evan]

with our crew just saying,

[CJ]

yeah, we'd have to go. Logistically, couldn't do it financially.

[Ben]

Impossible.

[Mike]

As CJ Sometimes say, you know, let's just. Just stay on our home turf and make a better video at home. We're gonna do that with your birthday. It's a Friday birthday, too.

[Ben]

No, Mike, we gotta go to a bowling alley at least.

[CJ]

I do love bowling.

[Ben]

Like, we have to go to a bowling alley if we really want to do it big. We're gonna go to Skate Land.

[CJ]

I would go bowling. I'll go to Skateland. I don't care.

[Ben]

Go to the pool. Community center.

[CJ]

That was fun.

[Ben]

We rent out the party room.

[CJ]

Yeah, like a hotel with a pool.

[Mike]

That would be good. And then ham sandwiches with Doritos on them.

[CJ]

Get Domino's pizza. That's.

[Ben]

That's what you get.

[Ken]

Ice cream cake, Domino's.

[CJ]

Then you got, like, Cheetos, Doritos, 2L a pop.

[Ben]

And then C will correct you what he really wants.

[Ken]

Do you want, like, Mountain Dew, Diet Pepsi, Ken?

[CJ]

Actually, if you give me an infrared scope, that'd be great.

[Ben]

Oh, I'm glad you asked.

[CJ]

And also infrared binoculars.

[Ken]

So like, a Diet Mountain Dew?

[Ryan]

No, he's on diet Coke.

[Mike]

Everybody gets party favors. Everybody gets a pair of heelys.

[Ben]

Yeah, when CJ's opening up his gifts, they're just like insane. Like thousands of dollar gifts. He's like, oh, I wanted these infrared binos. Thanks, ken. They're like 8000$.

[CJ]

It'd be close to almost as much as your statue.

[Mike]

Oh my gosh, I already have a date.

[Ben]

Just.

[Mike]

But thanks again, boys.

[CJ]

A Rolex.

[Ben]

He like keeps opening up and we're like, no, actually, who the bought this for him? Oh, he just started buying it.

[CJ]

I just gifted myself things.

[Mike]

A round trip PJ to wherever I want in the country. That'll come in handy. Yeah, those would be awesome gifts. Yeah, we'll throw you a birthday party siege. Well, unless you really. I don't know, there's plenty of moments in movies where like, don't throw me a birthday party.

[Ben]

Whatever you do.

[Mike]

And then they're like, throw them a giant surprise party.

[Ben]

Yeah. What's like the best birthday party you've ever been to? I think the best birthday party I've ever been to was when that dad flew us out for his son's 14th birthday on his private jet and then picked us up in a helicopter and then brought us into the mountains and we did a bunch of stuff and then flew us home on the private jet. Like, that was, that was, that was a pretty crazy birthday party.

[Ryan]

He dropped a snow from a helicopter.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

We actually still talked to Max, the kid that his birthday. He was with us in Florida when that whole kid debacle was going down with that woman and Ken at dinner. He was at that dinner. Yeah.

[Ryan]

That's funny.

[Ben]

That was a pretty crazy birthday party. I don't know if anything will ever top that, actually.

[Ryan]

No, I don't know if it's even possible to.

[Ben]

What?

[Evan]

Put cat food in my buzz ball.

[Mike]

I have a video of you, like,

[Evan]

and I'm like looking around because didn't

[Ben]

you put cat food in shred 80s mouth? Yeah, like, can you be that mad about it?

[Evan]

I look like backwash. I couldn't identify it. And I knew me and shred 80 were drinking. I'm just like, Gavin, I'm like, what is going on here? And I was still drinking it. You couldn't even taste it. Max is just sitting there grinning and he never said it. And finally I just gave up because there is. It was like half full with cat food. So I kept. Yeah, look at this.

[Ben]

Look at him trying to figure. Look, it looks like you're just like goldfish in a cabin, drinking out of it.

[CJ]

He wasn't done chewing, and just half his. His food went in the big pot. Who did this? You had enough of the buzz ball? No one.

[Evan]

What. What a waste.

[Ben]

I haven't had a sip of that. Yeah, he was. He was sitting there, like, after the podcast. He was like, dude, I put cat food in Evan's buzz ball. And I was like.

[CJ]

Was pretty funny watching you sip on it.

[Evan]

I think it was the next day that he told me. He told me at some point, but I don't think it was that night.

[Mike]

Night.

[Evan]

He's like, oh, yeah, I did put cat food in your buzzball. Nice.

[Mike]

Literally held it up for a minute.

[Evan]

I got pretty lucky with. Not for, say, like, we did a specific party, but, like, three years in a row. We were, like, in Vegas over my birthday. We always had a good time, like, going out to dinner and just like. Yeah, so not necessarily a party, but, like, I always had a very, very good time.

[Ryan]

What was the date transpiring on you getting hired officially? Was that your birthday?

[Evan]

That was my birthday.

[Ben]

That was.

[Ryan]

Yeah, your birthday in San Diego.

[Evan]

It was such a. I was in a weird state because I woke up feeling super sick that morning. So me and you, we went. We rode bike to, like, E Bikes. So I'm drinking a bunch of Dayquil, just trying to not feel like I'm dying, and then I start rolling on the mimosas at breakfast. So I think I was a little confused. And then, yeah, you guys gave me a job. It was a lot to process all that morning.

[Ben]

And you were like. We were like, well, think about it. I don't need to think about it. I'm calling my boss right now. Then you walked out. I walked out of breakfast and called your boss.

[Evan]

CJ's like, dude, just, like, actually, like, think about it for a little bit. And I actually listened to him for, like, 20 minutes. And we're in the RV and I actually texted him. Not that I didn't end up calling him. I have a good relationship with him or whatever, but I just wanted to, like, give him, like, more to respect, like, the biggest heads up. Like, I'm gonna be doing this, so, like, I'm not gonna wait a week or whatever.

[Ryan]

Yeah, then you can start playing immediately. Yeah. Remember, we're all sitting at breakfast where you, Ben, cj, me, and Ev. And then that was back when Mike was still sleepy, and we're sitting there at breakfast, and I go to the bathroom, and Evan's gone. He's over on the Phone. Talking to Nikki. Hey, yo. We just hired Evan. I was like. I was in the bathroom for, like, three minutes.

[Mike]

All right.

[Ben]

The time was right.

[Ryan]

The time was just right.

[Ben]

Was just right. Dude.

[Ryan]

Hey, man. Another Ryan's out of here.

[Evan]

I did feel a little bad because she's like. Like, we're not gonna talk about him. Like, not much to talk about. Like, that's pretty wild. I should have, like, let her feel like she was helping me make the decision, but it wasn't really a. Yeah, really an option.

[Mike]

You can't really say no to getting

[Ryan]

hired on your birthday.

[Evan]

Ironically enough, My pants on stilts that.

[Ben]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[CJ]

So you've been doing this for a while?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. Way before.

[Evan]

Because I was on all the nyquil and the mimosas.

[Ben]

I was a wreck.

[Evan]

And then Buttery had those, like.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. We're at Butter Bouncy stilts.

[Evan]

They got me running up and down the road. I'm jumping.

[Ben]

Were they bouncy stilts or were they just straight up drywall states?

[Evan]

No, no, no. They had a little spring in them, so, like, you could kind of run with them. And, like, we take, like, eight foot balance.

[Mike]

You were having fun. We were filming a podcast in the rv. Leave Evan and Medium unattended for, like, two hours. And.

[Evan]

Well, that was himself. And, boy, that. Yeah, he didn't help.

[Ben]

Yeah. Whoa.

[Evan]

No, not like that. Let's just say I left that basement confused. That sounded bad too.

[Ryan]

So many.

[Ben]

I actually don't know where you're going.

[Ken]

Can you explain yourself?

[Ben]

I think you've said too much.

[Mike]

What about that time Slim had a Friday birthday and you guys didn't leave your lawn chairs till Monday?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Slept in your lawn chairs.

[Evan]

No, it's just one of our favorite quotes of Slim's where, like, his dirt bike was broken, but we were going, like, on a camping trip or something, and we were all busting his balls because he wasn't gonna be able to ride with all. Ride with us all weekend. And he just had his crisper next to the lawn chair. And he just says, I don't give a if I don't leave this chair till Monday.

[Ben]

A legendary quote that we actually bring up at least once a week.

[Ryan]

We've got some shop remodels going on around here. We're just finally finishing up the conference room. But the best part about the shop has been the wash bay. You guys used it yet?

[Evan]

I have.

[Ben]

I used it the other day.

[Ryan]

You did a shitty job on. Your car is dirty by the time you got to the farm, I didn't

[Ben]

do the best job, I'll be honest.

[Ryan]

Which is not a credit to the supplies, which our boys at SS Auto Supply hooked us up. They're local guys actually out of Fargo, and they have, like, commercial cleaning products, so they gave us, like, the mixer so we don't use too much soap in the bottles.

[CJ]

The wash base dialed. Man, it looks so good.

[Ryan]

It does look good.

[CJ]

Looks so good. And it works phenomenal, which is awesome.

[Evan]

Oh, just. What do you want? Press the button, it comes out. It doesn't get better than that.

[Ryan]

A lot less soap. There was a couple guys myself probably included. When you would, like, mix it in the foam cannon, you'd like.

[CJ]

Yeah, they're pouring, like, half a bottle of soap.

[Ryan]

We're going through, like, buckets of soap weekly.

[Ben]

Wait, so on this new setup, you just press it once and it, like, auto fills.

[Evan]

No, Ben presses seven times. It doesn't.

[CJ]

It's not filling the bottle to the

[Evan]

top for the normal soap. It. It's pre diluted.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So like, I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

When you're doing the degreaser or the soap or the ceramic soap, you just, like, press the button and fill up your jug.

[Ben]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Ryan]

You don't need to add water anymore.

[Ben]

Oh, makes sense. Oh, yeah, that makes a lot more sense.

[Ryan]

Oh, because. Did you add water?

[Evan]

I did.

[Ryan]

Well, it's a nice setup, but it's not idiot proof, you know?

[Ben]

I guess so. All right, that makes it way more sense. Oh, that's a good setup, that. Dude.

[Mike]

That is.

[Ryan]

That's really nice.

[Ben]

That's dummy proof now.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

That.

[CJ]

You can't beat a hand wash. Like, you go to a touchless car wash. You go to a touch car wash, but just doing it the old fashioned way, grabbing the mitt, bucket of soapy water, and just spraying and wiping the thing down. You're not gonna beat that, man. It's just. That's the best way if you want

[Ben]

to get something therapeutic about it too.

[Ryan]

That's what I was.

[CJ]

It is. I enjoy it.

[Ryan]

I think it makes you appreciate your car again, you know? You get your hands on it. Dude.

[CJ]

Do you guys ever feel like when I have, like, a clean car, like, it's per. Like the inside's clean and the outside's clean. I feel like it runs better. Like, I'm like. I'm like driving the thing. I'm like. This thing's mint. Like, you know, I don't know.

[Evan]

Just.

[CJ]

There's something about it. And Obviously, that's just in my head, but it's like, there's something about it where I'm just, like, accelerating a little hard. I'm like, this thing's brand new. It's fine.

[Evan]

I feel like that after I change the oil in the Raptor.

[CJ]

That, too. That, too, for it.

[Evan]

But, like, it's not making it run.

[CJ]

No.

[Evan]

But I get in and go, oh, this thing's good for another hundred thousand.

[CJ]

Yeah, it just, like, you just. You just feel better putting your foot into it more. So, like, you're not like, oh, I don't want to drive it too hard.

[Ryan]

And I do. I do feel that way about at least having a clean car. It makes you like it again. Like, I don't think you realize, like, you get in your car, it's all dirty and dusty and whatever, and then you clean it out, and you're like, damn. Just like the day I got her. We're just finally finishing up the conference

[Evan]

room, but still can't find a door for my bedroom.

[Ben]

What is the status on the door? Right.

[Ryan]

That one's like 100 on me, for sure.

[Ben]

Like, when we did it, we go, all right, if we kick this door in, how fast can we have it replaced? And Ryan was like, a week, tops.

[Mike]

We're like, okay.

[Evan]

It truly doesn't bother me, and. And it's. I get more enjoyment, like, once a month. Just like, bringing. Bringing it back.

[Ryan]

Bringing it back up. No, that is actually on me, and I'm gonna take care of that within a month.

[Ben]

Within the next six months.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

By the end.

[Evan]

By the new year, I'll be pumped. That'd be cool. Yeah.

[Ryan]

No, yeah, that. That's my bad. That and there's something else broken, too.

[Ben]

Yeah. Things are looking good around here, though. We got a new conference room that is kind of just like a meeting room. We'll, like, sit down and throw ideas at the board. So we got, like, the world's biggest whiteboard.

[Ryan]

I'm pretty proud of that whiteboard.

[Ben]

Yeah, the whiteboard's awesome.

[Ryan]

It's as big as they make them in one sheet, six by 12.

[Evan]

Backlit?

[Mike]

No, it's not backlit, but it's magnetic. And glass.

[Ryan]

Glass. Magnetic glass. It erases so nice. It was. I'm not gonna lie. It was.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Can I. I'm curious. I want to know. I still don't know how much. All of it.

[Evan]

Just the figures.

[Ben]

I don't want to know how much. It might ruin my day.

[Ken]

Is it five figures plus?

[CJ]

No.

[Ben]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

A hundred thousand Dollar Whiteboard.

[Ben]

No.

[Ryan]

Well, you said plus.

[Ken]

Well, yeah. Five figures.

[Evan]

Okay.

[Ryan]

No, it was mid four figures.

[Mike]

Midfold. Holy.

[Ryan]

We got technically mid Upper Coro with install, so.

[Mike]

So close to five.

[Ryan]

It's closer to mid than it was to upper.

[Mike]

Nice. That's not bad. We got, like, Corbeau, who makes racing seats, hooked us up with a bunch of, like, red office chairs.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[Ben]

Twelve in those boxes.

[Mike]

Yeah. Dude, it's gonna look, like, insane.

[Evan]

I thought we were outfitting every car on the property with racing seats. The office seats are sick. But I.

[Mike]

You got a car we need them in?

[Evan]

No, not really. Miata's dial. So we're good?

[Mike]

Yeah, we already got them.

[Evan]

I'm just saying, I saw a lot of those boxes.

[Mike]

Yeah. Gaming chairs now.

[Ben]

So we probably will need seats, actually, for Evan's other car.

[Evan]

True. I've been getting a lot of. A lot of DMS poking about, like what this burnout car is going to be. And I wouldn't consider it a burnout specific build, but it's definitely going to shred some tires.

[Ben]

Yes.

[Evan]

I mean, when you say building a burnout car, there's a very special type of car that is like.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

That was made specific. Right.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

So, like, I'm not giving anything away, but I do clarify. Like, I don't want anyone to be super disappointed and be like, that's not a burnout car.

[CJ]

What's the difference between just a high horsepower car that can do a good burnout versus a burnout built car?

[Evan]

One big one is usually you got cooling. So when the tight cooling, but like, the tubs in the rear end so you actually shred the tires off and you don't ruin the car. You know what I mean?

[CJ]

Just cooling and then just having tubs in the rear.

[Evan]

I mean, kind of.

[CJ]

And obviously high horsepower unnecessarily high horsepower

[Evan]

with absolutely no objective to put traction to the ground.

[Mike]

Yeah, you. You know, really no need.

[CJ]

And what's the goal, like, in a burnout competition? Is it style or is it just who can burn their tires off the quickest?

[Ryan]

Good question.

[Evan]

I know that there's something to do with time. Almost like you don't want to blow them off too quick, but also not.

[CJ]

Oh, my gosh, you guys, I just saw the craziest video of this guy the other day. I gotta show you. He was doing a burnout.

[Mike]

Nice.

[CJ]

In a burnout competition, you're gonna laugh freaking ass off.

[Evan]

Oh, my God. Please tell me it's the Shelby that just. He doesn't do a burnout Yep.

[CJ]

I don't know what this guy was doing. Watch this you guys. You're gonna laugh.

[Ben]

Oh my gosh.

[Evan]

No, that's.

[CJ]

Look at him. Look at him in the driver's seat.

[Mike]

That's $125,000 truck.

[Evan]

He's just.

[Ben]

Oh, he's hammered. Oh, he's hammered.

[Evan]

I don't think he's.

[Ryan]

That's quite possibly. Dude.

[Ben]

He's hammered.

[CJ]

I think he's. He's just realizing he just drove a shelby into.

[Ben]

He's 100%.

[Ryan]

No way.

[CJ]

They put him in a.

[Ryan]

Is that Bones? That's Bones.

[Mike]

Who.

[Evan]

Hey.

[CJ]

Is one of our hoodies.

[Ryan]

No, they call him Bones. He's a local guy.

[Evan]

I think that was just when reality hit.

[Ryan]

Oh my gosh.

[Ben]

Dude.

[Evan]

He realized what he had done.

[CJ]

It actually doesn't look that bad. The damage.

[Ryan]

No. Really doesn't.

[Mike]

Or whatever. Yeah.

[Ben]

The. The In Sturgis. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Dude. I. I've. I've watched this video 15 times and never noticed this guy. He looks like Ken actually losing it in the driver's seat.

[CJ]

Ken's like how does that look like me?

[Evan]

Just the couch photo. Ken.

[CJ]

Sorry.

[Mike]

Man.

[Evan]

That was epic.

[CJ]

That guy was maybe bundled too hazardous. Trying to go home. But it turns out that he parked in the burnout pit.

[Ryan]

He didn't do anything. He didn't even do. That truck has like how many horsepowers? 700. Like it could easily do.

[CJ]

It was actually a pretty weak burnout. He just kind of forgot about the break.

[Evan]

He abs'd himself. I'm sure he was running the brake and then with the gas and then the brake didn't work.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah. I crashed in my garage with my Buick once. Same same thing.

[Ben]

I'm surprised his airbags didn't go off. Pretty good smack.

[CJ]

Yeah. Hidden off cement walls.

[Ben]

Never did.

[Mike]

You guys. You guys see this? Can you imagine being the Chevy driver?

[Evan]

I heard the Chevy driver was a cop. A lady cop.

[CJ]

Really don't know if that was true.

[Evan]

A lot of gets said thank God

[Ben]

there looks kind of like she would

[Mike]

be parked her Silverado on top of a sick ass. Hu on.

[Ryan]

Okay. I've got a crazy conspiracy theory on this.

[Ben]

How could you possibly have a conspiracy theory on this?

[Ryan]

The one thing that immediately discredits me is they don't have a better video of it happening. But it made such a spectacle out of it. Like they went and got a flatbed truck to pull it off. Like just throw it in reverse and back up.

[CJ]

I agree.

[Ryan]

The guy who was owns the Lambo classic. Florida Lambo owner Is like a business guru. And so he's got 15 videos of him walking around his car with his Lambo, all right. All cooked like this. And they left it for like, it took hours to get it off. They had a cloud come out.

[CJ]

Honestly, if it was my Lambo, I'd be like, just leave it. I gotta get my buddies over here to see this.

[Ryan]

Oh, 100. I do agree with that.

[Ken]

I'm sure they didn't want to talk. They wanted, like, document everything with cops and just so insurance could take care of it. But the way that guy acted in all those videos, pretty.

[CJ]

Probably totaled.

[Ken]

It probably is like the. Didn't even go through the glass.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

But I'm sure it.

[Ken]

I mean, yeah, it's probably total, but, like, it doesn't.

[Ryan]

It's. I would salvageable.

[Mike]

That brings everything. That brings up the scenario, Ryan. So in, I think the last one of the last David Dobrik videos. Yeah. This guy has like an old school kind of like muscle car. Yeah, I think it might be. And he rolls it pops out of gear, and it probably doesn't have a good E brake. And it rolled down the hill because it's in California. Onto the hood of a Tesla.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And then when they tried, they just. Just were like, all right, we're gonna back the Tesla out. And it's just so dumb.

[Ryan]

I don't think it was the Tesla. Getting out was smart.

[Mike]

Instead of having the person in the El Camino ready to hit the brakes when they backed out so it didn't roll again, he floors it out. No one was in the vehicle in

[Ryan]

front, and it was still in neutral.

[Mike]

Rolls back up onto it.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I was like, I don't know if that was intentional, but it was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. It was hilarious.

[Ben]

How'd they catch that on video?

[Mike]

Well, they didn't catch the initial thing, but then they went out when they. Yeah. So he tried to drive it out and then no one was in the car that was on top of the Tesla ready to hit the brakes. It was still in neutral with no one in it.

[Evan]

You guys see that in Colombia? That lady monster truck driver that just.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Drove through the crowd.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I thought you got mad.

[CJ]

Horrible.

[Ben]

No, no, no. The throttle must have stuck.

[Evan]

Yeah. Probably a vehicle malfunction. Yeah. Really messed up.

[CJ]

And he killed people.

[Evan]

Yes.

[CJ]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ryan]

What?

[Evan]

That is a good looking El Camino, though.

[Mike]

Why would you do that?

[Ryan]

He even had it there, but then he got nervous and threw it in reverse again. And Then it got speed. Whose car is that?

[Evan]

Roger, you can't park there.

[Ben]

We can lift it up.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's no good, dude. I've always thought about that when I'm at Monster Jam. I'm like, they could easily drive right over the barricade.

[Evan]

Apparently, there was just a dude that. They said they pulled his.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Monster truck license, but he actually rolled that one even. And what was crazy is now just today, I see a clip of Gravedigger. Same arena for sure. Probably the same day that, like, does the backflip, does the normal routine, flips his monster truck, literally comes up, like, 10ft shorter than the dude that did, like, the exact same thing.

[Mike]

And everyone was defending him because, like, dude, I know.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They're in the Civic Center.

[Ben]

Wait, this guy got in trouble for doing this?

[Evan]

Why?

[Mike]

Dude, I don't know.

[Evan]

Apparently too aggressive, they said too aggressive.

[CJ]

Like, in theory, launched up into the crowd.

[Ben]

Yeah, I mean, I get that, but

[Mike]

it's also like, how about don't do it in tiny stadiums like that.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, that. That doesn't really seem like it's quite his fault.

[Evan]

I don't know if that's.

[Ken]

It's just a mismatch.

[Evan]

Literally does the same thing. He just rolls one less time and stops right. Like, in that doorway. And apparently that was fine.

[Ben]

But, like, how much control do those guys obviously, like, when it starts going forward like that. But, like, what could he have done differently?

[Mike]

And that one is tough because, like, that one he just rolled and bounced on a jump. It's different if you have, like, a malfunction where your throttle sticks and then you just, like, ram into.

[Evan]

But they were saying. So, like, I don't know if this is true, but it actually makes sense. Is that all of, like, the professional Monster Jam trucks or whatever have, like, remote kills?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Evan]

Switches or whatever. So, like, when we're talking about that deal in Colombia.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Where that one just went crazy or what?

[Ben]

No, no, her throttle just stuck. It looked like an older monster truck.

[Mike]

Yeah. It wasn't a real.

[Ben]

It wasn't a real one. Yeah.

[Evan]

But it also the kind of. Kind of setup you'd see for, like, a burnout contest. Like, metal railing fence with the crowd standing right up to it.

[Mike]

Not even Jersey barriers.

[Evan]

And she just drove through it. So, like, bad deal. Yeah, really bad deal.

[CJ]

Dude. They've had, like, the same monster truck characters since I was a little kid. Like, they've always had Grave Digger. They. They had the dog.

[Evan]

They rotate y. There's, like, fresh ones, but you got to keep the classics.

[CJ]

Yeah, absolutely. I'm not, I'm not complaining about it, but. So is that the same team or how do you end up getting. I'd imagine it's got to be ran by the same team. Isn't it like still there?

[Ken]

It's like the same vehicle design, but it's. They rotate the drivers through it.

[CJ]

Well, obviously.

[Ben]

Yeah, different drivers.

[Ryan]

But you know what they need to do to Monster Jam is they need to WWE ify it. Like they need to have like. Yeah, they need to like make it a battle like stuff and then make it. It interesting to watch.

[Evan]

It has escalated a lot though. I. I don't know if it's the past five years or maybe longer, but when they have a big area, a big arena.

[Mike]

Oh yeah.

[Evan]

Some of the jumps and they're huge. They are doing is I remember watching as a kid and I mean, it's way different now. I mean doing the backflips and then literally jumping way over 100ft. Just a flat just in.

[CJ]

It's.

[Evan]

It's insane. They've definitely leveled up, but I imagine the trucks are there.

[CJ]

Way better suspension.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Way more power.

[Ben]

Yeah. They're all doing flips now, dude. They have a big ass truck to be flipping over.

[Ryan]

It's just a primal love of a man.

[Evan]

I think Travis was the first one to. To try it. If I'm. Maybe someone had tried it. But remember.

[CJ]

Yeah. On Nitro Circus.

[Evan]

Nitro Circus. So many years ago, he tried to. Tried to do one and landed right on the roof. Like it was pretty scary. I think I remember that. But now it's just like a normal thing. Like. Yeah, one of those shows everyone's doing.

[Ryan]

Everyone's flipping. That was back when they used to hype up a Nitro Circus episode for like weeks. Remember you'd see like the teasers on tv. You're like, oh, we gotta watch Travis's flip or the skate park.

[CJ]

Thank you to Ultra Pouches for sponsoring the podcast. One of the first things I do every morning is grab a cup of coffee. But I could do without the downsides. Like the energy crash and the stains it can leave in my teeth.

[Evan]

Code free [e-mail] Car skate park thing that Rob Dyrdek did a bunch of years ago Kickflip the Sonic Car TikTok search history while I'm in Here, the suggested things. One of them is Ben Roth sniffing his fingers.

[Mike]

That one's been in a search bar on like half the fan account videos. And I just don't understand it.

[Evan]

That search bar is always seeing some weird shit. I don't use TikTok much, but it's like, what does this have to do with the video and why?

[Mike]

Well, sometimes it's like dead on. It's like you watch a video and they're vague about something and then the search bar is exactly what you're looking for. And then other times it's legitimately like this C Boys wheelie to trx. And then the search bar will be C Boys. Quitting announcement.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, it's always that. I think people just click on it because they're like, what the.

[Mike]

Yeah, true. And then it gets traction.

[Ryan]

All right, here, here's Travis's flip. This is crazy. I remember this. Please work, please work, please work.

[Mike]

Bulletproof cage on this thing.

[Ryan]

I love. This is apostrona land too.

[Mike]

He came in just fast.

[Ryan]

Absolutely. Worst case scenario.

[Evan]

Well, yeah, and if you, you, if you see how they do them now. I mean, they're doing them off of like.

[Mike]

Well, they're doing like an enduro style.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Backflip where you go into it at like one mile an hour going.

[Evan]

But of course Travis is going to try to do it like big air. Massive.

[Ben]

Man. I can't imagine how that feels flying

[Ryan]

upside down towards the ground.

[Ben]

Yeah, well, just like the, the jolt impact, like those things are so aggressive.

[Ken]

They have to have like a. Some kind of crazy seat suspension, don't they?

[Ben]

Or something.

[Evan]

When you go upside down, it's right to the cage. But they might, I think. Don't they have like a suspended type of.

[Ryan]

Oh, isn't that all those guys that jump all those cars or something? Don't they have like a suspended.

[Mike]

But how would that work upside down?

[Evan]

Well, I don't know, but maybe it kind of works.

[Ken]

Or do they just put like a little bit of bubble wrap here and there and call it good?

[Evan]

That definitely wouldn't help strategy, but he

[Mike]

actually does that and maybe we've met. He probably mentioned it on the podcast. But like he goes, if you guys are ever in a pickle for something that you're scared to do, use a lot of bubble wrap. It is a one time use. He's like, but it works.

[Evan]

I've been thinking we need to debatably try that. Like a TRX jump, some bubble wrap, something like that.

[Mike]

Yeah, try it. Because you, you blow all the Air out. And you go, oh, that worked. And then you put new bubble wrap in.

[Evan]

Hey, Jack, order us up.

[Ben]

I mean, it makes. It makes sense.

[Evan]

Big bubble bubble wrap.

[Mike]

Perfect.

[Ryan]

I'm on it.

[CJ]

Do you even have oil changes, Ryan?

[Ryan]

No, they just keep adding oil to my car, not removing it. That's the problem.

[Mike]

So did.

[Ben]

Right.

[Mike]

Overfilled it it twice.

[Ryan]

There's dry sump oil pumps. It's part of the engine. And they didn't drain the oil from the oil pumps. So then when they re added the oil, they added too much oil, which caused it to push between gaskets and things. Like, it doesn't just get into the combustion chamber accidentally.

[Mike]

So they added too much and didn't account for the oil in the dry sumps.

[Evan]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

And you're saying they added the correct amount but had all the oil.

[Evan]

You're saying maybe be a safe, like a.

[Ryan]

A.

[Evan]

A blow by, like.

[Ryan]

And maybe there is. And that's how it got mixed into my combustion chamber.

[Ken]

But you're saying there's two. And they. There's two dry sumps, and they drained one of them, was it.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So then I brought it in. I was like, there's a problem. And then they fixed the right side, but they didn't fix the left side. It's either that or they just added too much oil to the engine a second time. So, yeah, bit of a deuce. They owned up to it and took care of it right away.

[Mike]

But what is taking care of it?

[Ryan]

I guess just changing the fucking oil again, bro.

[CJ]

I brought my truck to get the window fixed three times. They have not fixed it.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Evan]

So what's it do? It just doesn't work.

[CJ]

It gets stuck. I have to, like, grab it and pull it up.

[Mike]

It is pretty hard.

[Ryan]

That's fucking annoying.

[CJ]

And now it's. It's working, but it's like. Like, it's going so slow. I got a 2024 Ford Raptor. It should not be doing this.

[Ryan]

How the. And that's like, it's one thing because I go, my Corvette smokes. And they go, it ain't smoking now. And I go, okay, you're right. But, like, the window, they would just have to.

[CJ]

Dude, I don't know. The first two times, they were, like, trying to reflash something on it. I'm like, no, it's the motor. And then supposedly they replaced the motor, but I. I don't think they still don't work. But it's wasting my time because, like, dropping your truck off, you have to have someone pick you up? It's just this whole rigmarole.

[Ryan]

I demand a courtesy car, dude.

[CJ]

Fucking demand them some money for lost revenue, dude.

[Ben]

Every time I see you hopping in that car, Ryan, I just started pulling my phone out.

[Ryan]

It's probably smart, honestly. The clutch on starting does not engage correctly anymore. Like when I, like, stop at a stoplight and then start going, it kind of does this.

[Evan]

Like, time for some high performance parts.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm just. I'm just gonna keep going. They say it's fine, so I'm just gonna keep driving it how I have been. And if something happens, it's under warranty.

[Ben]

Did you have a warranty?

[Ryan]

Supposedly. That's what they say. But also, I mean, Chevy will do anything to get out of their warranty, I'm sure.

[Ken]

Didn't they do some, like, weird kind of stuff where if you sold the car within a certain time frame, when those came out, the warranty was just completely void?

[Ryan]

Yes, they did, which I was worried about. But my guy had it for six months, so we're good. Good. And he sold it for below msrp, which was also anti flipper.

[CJ]

Ryan, if you weren't gonna be a Corvette driver.

[Ryan]

Huh?

[CJ]

What would your car be if you were going to replace this?

[Ryan]

A Hummer Ev.

[Ben]

No.

[Ryan]

No.

[CJ]

Would you get like, a Tesla Model S? Plaid. So you had, you know, your electric.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[CJ]

Truck or whatever you want to call your bummer and the electric car.

[Ryan]

No, I'm done with the electric car. Although it is nice because gas prices are up. Up.

[CJ]

They are, yeah. So steep.

[Ryan]

It's pretty bad. But I. I don't know. I don't really have anything that I'm like. I must. Must have. The new TRXs are obviously sweet, but I'm. I'm not paying over MSRP for another one. You can only buy so many TRXs for above MSR before you get on

[Ben]

some kind of list.

[Ryan]

Yeah, exactly. They'll start directly emailing me, being like. Like the idiot list. I don't know, cj. Honestly, your. Your G Wagon has been appealing to me. That would be. I think that'd be a nice car. It's. It's rugged and it's off road, but it's luxury.

[CJ]

I'll sell it to you.

[Ben]

Right. You might have just talked yourself into it there.

[CJ]

Yeah. It's too bad your Corvette's broken. Otherwise I'd trade you.

[Ken]

Well, it's currently working and it has.

[CJ]

I don't want that thing.

[Ryan]

Dude. You seen what it's been through.

[Evan]

Would you sell.

[Ryan]

Buy it?

[CJ]

That My G wagon. Absolutely.

[Evan]

See, you're good. It's not more than msrp.

[Ben]

Ryan's like, if it ain't over msrp, I ain't interested.

[Ryan]

No, I'd get a red one.

[CJ]

It's a six year old vehicle. I'll sell you it for msrp. Absolutely.

[Ryan]

I'd go get a red G wagon.

[Evan]

If you want it wrapped, maybe we can get a deal. I need a wrap.

[Ryan]

It's a good point, actually.

[Evan]

A couple of red wraps. It looked great coming out.

[Ben]

I don't think we need any more red vehicles around here.

[Ryan]

No.

[Ben]

I feel so, like, dude. I. I think we are, cap.

[CJ]

We do have a lot of red. We have a lot. We could almost do, like, green, blue.

[Ryan]

I've had two orange cars. I've been trying. I've been trying to diversify. I have a green car and an orange car.

[Mike]

Ryan, you have been trying, like, the two orange cars, and then you pull up next to all the red cars, and you can just feel it. You can feel the energy. Wish that guy's car was red.

[Ben]

It's good, but I wish it was red.

[Ken]

Yeah, my Bronco's pretty close to red.

[Evan]

Good.

[Ken]

It's not, but it's closer to orange.

[Ryan]

You're closer to my boat, Ken. It's not a boat you want to be in, cj.

[Evan]

You gotta sell that G wagon. Because I want to roll around when you're in that yellow Gallardo.

[Mike]

I don't even. I'm not just hyping you up. Like, when Evan sent that, he was talking to you. I genuinely think that might be.

[CJ]

I think everybody Lambros for you to own. Sick.

[Evan]

Kind of like Gucci and Waka were the Ferrari boys. Just be the.

[CJ]

We'd be more than kind of lit up.

[Evan]

Except for if me, Mike, and Ben go driving in our red cars, you actually wouldn't see.

[Ben]

They hang back a couple miles.

[Mike]

The red mug.

[Ryan]

Yeah. When you guys did your little photo shoot outside of Zorbas and my car was just in the back. It just had a little wing and it was orange. I just. Just didn't. I was just like. I'm not. I'm just gonna keep it hidden. Just sucks.

[Evan]

Speaking of cars, were you having a transmission issue on the Viper that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Buff itself out?

[Mike]

No, I wish I'd be sick if

[Ben]

it just buffed itself.

[Evan]

Oh. I guess I meant did you fix

[CJ]

it all the way from last summer?

[Mike]

Yeah. I mean, I just, like, didn't get it fixed.

[Evan]

This is like synchro or something, right?

[Mike]

Yeah, synchro. No big Deal.

[Ben]

What does that mean?

[Mike]

It just grinds. Putting into fifth.

[Ben]

Oh, just if. Turn the music up.

[Mike]

And I've shifted like a baby, so it's fine. But if you were to keep doing it, it would probably like go out maybe.

[Evan]

Was that a good time to tell you guys? The. The. I think the synchros are a little jammed in. The drift truck. Does not like shifting into second gear.

[Ben]

I think it was always like that, wasn't it?

[Evan]

Perhaps. I just realized you got enough.

[Ryan]

You got the day.

[Evan]

We got it. I'm like, damn, they're grinding. I don't know. It's just like zero RPMs. It goes in pretty smooth. But if you're moving at it's violent.

[Mike]

A lot of stuff needs fixing.

[Ken]

You're saying your wheels are. Feel like they're gonna fall off too on that thing?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What?

[Mike]

Well, I got new wheel. They were like slightly used wheels. These like three piece rotiforms. And I put them on and they. They at very least need to be balanced to when I drive it. And I'm like, all right, this is bad.

[Ben]

Oh no.

[Evan]

The raptor experience.

[Mike]

Yeah. And he's an alignment and some balancing for sure. Maybe more. But the guy was like, yeah, the tires are like brand new on it. And then I'm like, they look like they have 40,000 miles on them.

[Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Mike]

Could be part of it too.

[Ryan]

But that could be the burnout.

[Mike]

And then like maybe if you saw Ben's story the other day. I just keep scraping my front lip so hard. But it's fine because it's already broken. But that one was probably my best work. Ben.

[Ben]

Dude, Mike's treating his. His viper like a excavator.

[CJ]

Taking things at an angle, bro.

[Mike]

Go drive in that zora's parking lot with that. And don't scrape.

[CJ]

You have to just go at different entrances.

[Mike]

I understand.

[Evan]

I think we need to try.

[Mike]

I understand that. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ben]

We could go out.

[CJ]

I just won't go down the.

[Mike]

Yes. As a low car guy, I understand how to take things.

[Ken]

You took it down the gravel one.

[Mike]

Yeah. And it was bad.

[Ben]

Mike. That was maybe just a bad idea.

[Mike]

Well, I.

[CJ]

There was no pickup near scrapes going down that well.

[Mike]

Then I'd say I'm doing pretty good. But there was no other parking spots. I would have had to park on the highway, which I should have done.

[Ryan]

I'm actually surprised you didn't. High center.

[Mike]

I did, but I didn't.

[Ryan]

You high centered as well.

[Mike]

That's what I'm getting going in because

[Evan]

it's where the sidewalk is legitimate. Six inches higher.

[Ben]

Yes.

[Evan]

Dude, I almost went in there with the Lambo, except for I kicked it into reverse and said, can't.

[Ryan]

Yeah, and that's saying something because sometimes you put Evan's car in reverse and it doesn't come out for a little bit.

[Evan]

I know. I just don't use reverse. And the car's been great. Not a problem in months.

[Mike]

That's where I was actually sad because when I scraped the front lip, I legitimately don't care because it's. It can get mangled. I have another one. It's okay. The rest of the car is fine.

[CJ]

Fine.

[Mike]

But boy, when I literally dropped off basically a curb just on the center of the car.

[CJ]

Was Sydney in the car with you?

[Mike]

No, but everyone outside at the patio at Zorbas.

[Ben]

Was Jake there? He would have loved it. No, the rolling Mike, before you swap that out, we should film a video, like, seeing how gnarly of scrapes you can do.

[Mike]

Well, I. No, I'm not trying to rip the bumper off, bro.

[Ryan]

Well, not that gnarly. Just like standard.

[CJ]

He's like, oh, I do that daily. Then.

[Mike]

Yeah, a little compilation I do. I split scrape going out of my driveway. It's too narrow, so I can't get an angle. You know, like the. The curb goes up.

[CJ]

So I start driving on the grass.

[Ben]

You just. You straight up. You start and end your day with just a gnarly scrape.

[Mike]

Yeah. It's kind of fun.

[CJ]

Like when he punches in and out.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

I think Ben was, you know, like, he says he pulls out his phone every time that Ryan starts his Corvette. But I think you were so excited to get down there in your little jelly bean. You basically framed on the drift wall and three wheeled drive drop dropped in. And you were so excited at Ryan's car smoking. Oh, I don't even know if you realize it. I was standing.

[Ben]

I do that every time. That thing's like a skateboard.

[Evan]

It's still kind of gnarly to just scrape and three wheel focus.

[Mike]

His GT3RS kind of looks like a jelly bean, too.

[Evan]

Oh, all right.

[Mike]

I mean, I love.

[CJ]

All right.

[Mike]

Podcast over as a GT3RS lover. I mean, I think.

[Ben]

Oh, thanks.

[Mike]

Beautiful cars in the world.

[CJ]

Thanks.

[Mike]

It does kind of look like a jelly bean.

[CJ]

Jelly bean, boy.

[Ken]

It's a good looking jelly bean. From a guy that's owned a lot of jelly beans.

[Ryan]

Yeah. A lot of not good looking jelly beans. Yeah. No offense.

[Ben]

It's got a little jelly bean s to it.

[Ryan]

It's a little jelly Bean. Ish. Yeah, he's a cool jelly bean. It's got arrow.

[Ken]

It's like a really cool Volkswagen Bug.

[Ben]

Or no, it's a bug with a wing on it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. I put a thousand miles on that thing since Thursday.

[Mike]

That's impressive.

[Ben]

In the last five days, she put

[Evan]

black polka dots and some eyelashes on that thing and it would look like a ladybug.

[CJ]

That actually pretty cool. Wait, then you and Jack could be twinning.

[Evan]

All right, Ben, earmuffs. Put that down in your notes.

[CJ]

I got it.

[Ben]

That's a really good idea.

[Ryan]

But a thousand miles does that. Do you worry that that will affect the resale?

[Ben]

I don't care about the resale.

[Ryan]

You're keeping it forever.

[Ben]

No, but I'm not gonna.

[Ryan]

No, but I'm not gonna not.

[Ben]

I'm not gonna, like, not drive it.

[Ryan]

I think that's a good mentality.

[Ken]

Okay, Now. Now that Ben has bought a GT3, the market will tank and then they're gonna be in not as expensive. So thank you for buying.

[Ben]

Oh, it will 100 guarantee. It happens every time. But yeah, no, I don't. I don't really care. Also, I don't really care about throwing donuts at it either. Ken, I'm still waiting for you to throw a box of donuts. I gave you. I gave you the clearance.

[Ken]

Well, I. I've got a different idea that I. I gotta get at least two other people involved in to make happen. But I got a better idea.

[CJ]

Don't say too much now, Ken.

[Ken]

And then I'll. And then I'll throw a donut at it.

[Ryan]

What's your beef with donuts? Like you don't do them in your vehicles. You don't.

[Ken]

No, no, no.

[CJ]

I just don't like the calories with the carbs.

[Ken]

I just don't like throwing at people's cars the way.

[Ryan]

But what about the inside of the. My car?

[Ken]

Well, you were throwing a donut at my car, so just.

[Ryan]

Or was it everybody else?

[Ben]

Did you not throw one? No, I didn't.

[Ryan]

And then a half custard filled donut came in and went.

[Ken]

I'm sorry about that. Right.

[Ryan]

I just like Dirty Dan and the boys.

[Ken]

When I see a good old dozen donuts flying my way, I just assume everyone's throwing Don.

[CJ]

Firing squad. This guy drives by.

[Ryan]

All you had to do was a little pressure washer. Jack and I had to detail it.

[Ken]

And it looks good now.

[Ryan]

It does. We missed the spot, though. The steering wheel still. The whole H3 is just. Or Hev is cooked flat with donut.

[Evan]

Just give it a good lick.

[Mike]

No.

[Ryan]

Stale.

[Ben]

Now I just kind of got a M3.

[Mike]

But.

[Ken]

What you kind of.

[Ben]

Well, I mean, like I said, I told Scott to, like, pull the trigger on one.

[Ken]

Oh, nice.

[Ben]

And then he was like, all right. Got it coming. Yeah. Like, it's on its way, but I haven't got it.

[CJ]

Colors.

[Mike]

Dang. Matte black.

[Ryan]

Shut up.

[Evan]

Four door.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's lit.

[Ben]

It's got orange interiors.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

M3s are four doors. M4s are two doors.

[Ben]

Okay. Yeah.

[CJ]

I personally think.

[Ben]

I don't. It makes no sense either.

[Ken]

I think the M4 looks kind of that out of proportion with two doors, but.

[Ben]

Yeah, I agree. It's kind of.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

An M3 kind of long.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So it's four doors.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Is it all wheel drive?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Nice.

[Ryan]

Really? So that's your winter car.

[Ben]

Yes, until I make it, like, super low with, like, a front lip on it that's that far off the ground. And I'm gonna tear every snow bank that I hit.

[Ryan]

That's. I think you've. I think you're entering into. There's a thing called the two car solution. And the key of a two car solution.

[Evan]

Like.

[Ryan]

Like Gallardo Raptor. Great. Two car solution.

[CJ]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Look good together. They serve different purposes.

[Ben]

Yep.

[Ryan]

To myself or cj, where we had big truck and then big suv. Bad two car solutions. Because you don't. You don't get any enjoyment out of driving the other because they're the same.

[Evan]

Right.

[Ryan]

And I'm worried that your two car solution. Not to sit on this new purchase of yours. Maybe you have two race cars now. Now. And then you're gonna have to venture into three cars.

[Evan]

Technically three race. I mean, is the. Is the blue jelly bean.

[Ben]

Oh, no, no. I'm gonna sell my focus.

[Evan]

Really?

[Ben]

I mean, I'm gonna trade it on it.

[CJ]

Smart.

[Ben]

Yeah. Ryan. I don't know. I guess I've had pickups.

[Ryan]

I've had pickups.

[Ben]

I've had pickups my entire life.

[CJ]

Like, Ryan needs a pickup. Ben needs a pickup.

[Ben]

No, I don't.

[Mike]

I guess.

[Ben]

You literally just sold mine, bro.

[Ken]

You didn't drive it for the last, like, years.

[Ben]

Yeah, I literally didn't drive it.

[Mike]

I didn't drive it for a year.

[CJ]

Pickup. Can I go and borrow the company truck with someone already using it?

[Mike]

I thought about that. Ben. I was like, ben's really gonna want a truck. And then I said, I had the same thought. I was like, wait, he hardly uses his raptor and he rarely borrows the company truck.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think you're maybe good without a pickup. I'm just concerned that it's gonna be too long.

[Mike]

And I'm concerned that is not enough.

[Ben]

Off Mike is like of course. What do you do with the other

[Evan]

five days concern something such as a you know, El Camino Ranchero, something like that. I have thought about it all the bases.

[Ben]

It's a good third edition that would have just gotten everything covered.

[Ryan]

Ev, we have made. We may have given you the perfect three car solution.

[CJ]

Ev does have that.

[Mike]

My theory is is that Ryan maybe wanted an M3. So

[Ryan]

I do like all cars.

[Mike]

Since you didn't have a good answer for that. Of all cars that you've sent like kind of shared you like check this BMW out pretty sick. And they happen to be kind of the M3 vibe.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I think I would go X5 or bigger. Got to ride an X6M last night. Who's Nicole's. Oh, fast dude. Yeah.

[Ben]

I don't know. I guess we'll see. But yeah, I had a truck for a year or I've had a truck for like five years and I didn't drive it for last year. So.

[Ryan]

I agree you probably should have a pickup.

[Mike]

But I mean I still agree with that.

[Evan]

And your Dakota still technically runs.

[Ben]

If you need still got that might bust it out. It was the. The best pickup truck.

[Mike]

Yeah. Just.

[Ben]

It's just the truth of it.

[Ken]

But debatable. My. The Yukon would have been perfect if the front end would have stayed together.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Well let's not get crazy now.

[Ryan]

Now that's gonna be sick though. So M3.

[Evan]

Why no surprise really. I mean I was surprised that you dropped it but just like such a thing to pull up. Kind of surprised you just surprised us like this as opposed to.

[Ben]

I don't know, I guess you guys with like a million things at this point. I don't know if it's like warranted.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's fair. I feel ya.

[Ben]

I got it more as just like a like a daily driver. Like try to keep on. I need like a. That like a vehicle to be putting like thousands of miles on in a week. Other than my Porsche.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's.

[Ben]

That was kind of more why it

[Ken]

does make sense now that you've had that car in your hands for a week. Like how's the suspension? Do you. Do you love it?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

How does it do around here?

[Ben]

It does fine. Yeah. I mean the suspension's like stiff, but so is any like stern but fair. Yeah.

[CJ]

Fast car.

[Ben]

So.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I think it's just Fine. Like it's comfortable. My only issue with it is like the bucket seats are just fixed seats and they're pretty vertical. But I've gotten so used to it at this point. So like you can't adjust the seats at all so you can slide it forward or back but they're fixed damn near at a 90 degree.

[CJ]

Yeah. Dude. When I hopped in there yesterday I was like damn.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Move these back probably.

[Ben]

But you get used to it. Yeah, I'm sure Big wrench could cut it. He could probably just cut it right here and then fiber hinge it back.

[Ryan]

There you go.

[Ben]

So I'd say that's like the only issue issue with it as far as like comfort goes. But got an exhaust for it. I'll put that on. It's gonna sound insane.

[Ryan]

Electronic again.

[Ben]

Yeah. With headers. So it's gonna.

[Mike]

Oh my God.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's gonna bark. Get those thrown on. Apparently they're like super easy to throw on because like the engines in the back on them. So all you have to do is just like remove the bumper.

[Evan]

Every exhaust we've ever tried to install has been super easy.

[Ben]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

Except for the Corvette. That sucks.

[CJ]

Do you have a tune for it knocked.

[Ben]

No. Doesn't need a tune.

[CJ]

Even without. With changing the headers.

[Ryan]

No tune.

[Ben]

I guess not. Huh.

[CJ]

That's surprising.

[Ben]

Dude.

[Evan]

I just. Of every vehicle ever has been. The exhaust isn't hard to throw on and it like it doesn't need a tune. But then it. Either of those things. I'm not calling cap.

[CJ]

I'm just saying normally catbacks don't need a tune. But you start monkeying with the downpipe or the headers or any of that or you just. Just take the cat out completely.

[Ben]

You're this thing still. It still has cats.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

But still like the headers, you know is.

[Ben]

Guess we'll see. But I think it's going to. It's going to sound like an F1 car.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's going to scream.

[CJ]

That'll be sick.

[Ken]

You got any wheels for it coming?

[CJ]

I don't know if you need wheels. I think you should leave what you got on it look good personally.

[Ben]

Good. Thanks.

[Ryan]

Speaking of BMWs and matte black, I saw this video. What?

[CJ]

It's a cop.

[Ben]

Oh my.

[Mike]

What?

[Evan]

What?

[Mike]

I didn't know they had cop cars like that.

[Ryan]

And so is it. AI no. Like it's so tough to tell.

[Evan]

Read something. There's nothing to read.

[Mike]

Is there any place.

[CJ]

No way. Hold on. Look at the way he hits the window. Go back.

[Ben]

Oh, hold on. No, because he doesn't put a kickstand down.

[Evan]

Yeah, it's fake.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. And the way he like, punches the back side of the car and then the mirror breaks.

[CJ]

I'm just saying, look at it. Like, most people would think that's real.

[Ryan]

That.

[Evan]

Speaking of weird cards, though, I got pulled over by a Yukon on 24s when I was in high school.

[CJ]

Was it like a drug enforcement agent?

[Evan]

It was. It was something they seized and then used for a bit of time before they. Sure. They auctioned it or whatever.

[Ben]

How confused were you when that was?

[Evan]

Technically, they didn't really pull me over that, but I like, ran a stop sign a couple blocks from the school. They followed me back to the school and then like, blocked me. And I get out going like, why? What the hell is going on here? And then it was.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You thought you were about to get like jumped or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Evan]

And it was. Yeah, it was a cop. And they just like scolded me for running the stop sign. I was like, yeah, I was late and buffed.

[Ryan]

They give you a ticket because they weren't those type of cops.

[Evan]

I mean, they probably could have. I think they just. I don't know. I rolled the stop sign. They just wanted to scare you. Tell me not to do that.

[Ryan]

That.

[Evan]

But it pretty much looked like Ken's rig for the whatever. Cheap, cheap vehicle challenge.

[Ken]

There are some sneaky undercover cops. I saw Camry the other day with like, pulled somebody over with lights. Just a normal ass car.

[Evan]

We have minivans up by Duth.

[Ryan]

I don't love that because, you know, there's like, anybody can buy cop looking lights. Like, what if. You know, what if a random car pulled you? Like, it's at night. All you see is some cop lights and you're like, that looks like a minivan.

[CJ]

I think there is like. Like some kind of way you can handle it. If you think it's. If it's like an unmarked cop car that you can call 911 and like, tell.

[Mike]

And they encourage you to do that.

[Ben]

Yeah. Until they're for sure getting a. You're getting pit maneuvered. When you do finally pull over, he's coming up 911. Yeah. I got pulled over in the SEMA truck one time, and there was no shoulder on the road. It was just straight up the curb. It was like the road and then curb, no shoulder. And the SEMA truck is massive.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And I'm like, I'm damn near taking up the entire lane. The way it is. And so there was like this little approach, like a block up. And I was gonna just pull off onto this approach. And so I did pull off onto the approach and the cop came up with his fucking hand on his gun and was like, get out of the car. I was like, bro, I was like, what yo? I've like, put my hands out. I was like, oh, what's the problem? And he was like like, why don't you pull over? When I got behind you, I was like, there was no shoulder. I would have literally been stopping in the middle of the road when this was right here.

[Mike]

It's insane. And they're like, well, I thought you were going to run. And you're like, that's on you, buddy.

[Ryan]

I'm in a giant pickup. You you'd catch me.

[Evan]

Did they eventually chill or was it a hostile?

[Ben]

It was pretty hostile for a while.

[Ryan]

He pretty much gave you every ticket in the book that he could for that thing.

[CJ]

No.

[Ben]

And then he like let me off like. Oh, completely. Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah. I think sometimes when they come up hot, just in my experience, and like they're in the wrong, if you're playing it cool, they end up kind of going a little bit easier on you. But if you go like start talking back to them, then they almost want, they want to give it to. Just be respectful and you might get lucky.

[Ben]

Geez, Mike.

[Ryan]

Jesus, Mike.

[CJ]

What is that number? 76.

[Mike]

76.

[CJ]

Damn.

[Ben]

Speeding.

[Mike]

Speeding ticket, no ticket.

[CJ]

How you need to get a better radar.

[Evan]

How big were you going?

[Mike]

I didn't have it and I, I. That's the part of my five car problem is that I need to get. Get five radar detectors. 67 and a 55. So nothing crazy.

[Ken]

1212. That's not, that's not.

[CJ]

How do you still have insurance, Mike?

[Mike]

Well, I don't know because how do

[CJ]

you still have your license?

[Mike]

Cutting me off like I didn't get any points on my.

[Evan]

So it wasn't even a written warning. Just.

[CJ]

It's cuz you're in North Dakota and you're getting pulled over.

[Mike]

And part of it. They were super nice.

[Ryan]

Speaking of not being chilled, this was actually in North Dakota. So by ass. This, it's during a Dewey stop.

[Ben]

You think that.

[Ryan]

No, I was. That he punches the cop.

[CJ]

That's a weak ass punch.

[Ryan]

Imagine how dumb you have to be to just wind up and give a cop a little sock on the shoulder.

[Mike]

Worst case scenario, he completely misses and just goes to jail for a while. I love best case scenario. He hits him square in the nose. And goes to jail for a long time.

[Ryan]

Yeah, exactly. It looks like it takes a while while. It's like car wrestling, but seat bel on. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Ben]

Car wrestling.

[Ryan]

Crazy show, by the way. But, yeah, I love these body cam videos. You feel kind of bad because it's probably somebody's, you know, bad day. But they're really editing them up now and making it. Making them funny.

[CJ]

It is crazy. There's so much like police vids and all that. I. I saw this one the other day. They must have stopped this drug dealer. And then while the drug dealers. In the car.

[Ryan]

Car.

[CJ]

In the cop car. His phone's there. And then people are calling.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[CJ]

And then the, like, they answer, and it's like. It's like two cops. And they're like, yo, what's up? What can I get you? What do you need? And he's like, I. Could I get a mid. Like, what, 20? Get me? Oh, 20 can get you that. Here, pull up, like, come meet us over here. And then, like, the person drives over and they, like, told the guy. He's like, yeah, we're talking with your customer.

[Ryan]

He's like, oh, no.

[Ben]

He's like a really funny. Don't.

[CJ]

Don't do that.

[Ben]

Don't do that to him.

[CJ]

And like, they're like. The cops are kind of like, oh, we did. Like, it was. It seemed pretty cordial for the thing. Like, it almost seems like they're friends, but they're taking him to jail. No, it was real.

[Evan]

I watched it multiple times, could not come to a conclusion. I think I'm leaning on that. It was definitely real, but some real. It was two different cops were both talking to the phone.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Evan]

And they sounded a bit different, but the person on the other end thinks they're talking to one. I'm like, that's kind.

[CJ]

No, I don't.

[Evan]

They just thought they were in a group, smiling kind of. And it was probably real, but I definitely questioned it. Yeah, I'm at the spot.

[Ryan]

What spot? Where you want me to meet you?

[Evan]

Well, I was about to pull up at the spot.

[Ben]

I'm right here, so.

[Evan]

So what you. What you looking for? What you trying to get? I'm talking at $7200, man.

[CJ]

So what you trying to get for the little 20?

[Evan]

You want a 7? You want a 7 or 3?

[CJ]

5 or 3?

[Mike]

5.

[Ben]

5.

[CJ]

They're trying to make it like, what the 7 is?

[Ben]

This is some me.

[CJ]

Yeah, some.

[Ben]

I mean, it's decent.

[Evan]

It'll get you by. I can do the seven for 20. I like. You got cash out? Yeah, I got cash out.

[Mike]

All right.

[Ben]

I'm about to.

[Evan]

Where you want? Where you want? You about to pull up to the spot? Yeah, right here on Mr. Yeah. Yeah, right.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Evan]

That's cool with me. All right. Hey, brother, I talked to one of your customers.

[Ryan]

Oh, say, say.

[CJ]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Ryan]

No, son. What?

[Ben]

They said they gonna meet you. They said they're gonna meet you on Elm Street.

[Mike]

That was the best reaction ever.

[Evan]

I think we played it on the pod before. But my all time favorite, favorite pull over body cam vid is still. Stop sign.

[Mike]

Yeah, Stop sign.

[Evan]

This is amazing.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

Why you stopping me?

[Ben]

Yeah, I'm about to.

[Ryan]

Huh?

[Ben]

I'm about to.

[Ryan]

What? I'm about to tell you. Stop sign,

[Ben]

man. I said I'm about to tell you. Huh? You say stop sign.

[Ryan]

No one said stop sign by you. Why you stopping me?

[CJ]

You made an improper right hand turn.

[Ryan]

When you turn into a new road,

[Ben]

you got to turn that closest lane.

[Ryan]

Sir, let me get my id. You for your part. I appreciate you, man.

[CJ]

Can you hear me?

[Ryan]

The beer as well.

[Ben]

Was he joking or did he actually hear stuff?

[Ryan]

Beer, the alcohol. He goes, can you hand me the beer? Hey, hold it. Don't be searching my car.

[Evan]

Get a beer in the cup holder. What's going on?

[CJ]

Now stay in the car.

[Evan]

I've seen a lot of like.

[Ben]

All right. I've seen the one on the right. That one.

[Ryan]

You know why plate covers are illegal legal?

[CJ]

Yeah, because. Oh, you do know.

[Evan]

No, no.

[Ryan]

The reason they're illegal is because elements

[CJ]

happen, like snow and rain and stuff.

[Ryan]

And the police have no idea what your place says.

[Mike]

Stop sign. What?

[Ryan]

What?

[Evan]

Stop sign.

[Mike]

What?

[Ryan]

What's.

[CJ]

I never said stop sign.

[Evan]

Oh, Oh.

[CJ]

I said the elements happen, like rain

[Ken]

and snow, and then they get on

[Ryan]

your plate cover and we can't read

[Ken]

what your plate says.

[Ben]

Wait, what? Stop sign.

[CJ]

Why do you keep saying stop sign? There's no way that's real.

[Evan]

There's. There's a ton of those in there. Some cops get pissed. Some cops will just, like start laughing right away.

[Ben]

Oh, they know the. They know the meme, bro.

[Ryan]

This is like telling C.J. a story. You don't hear everything. You just make up some random bit of information. The middle and go. He was in. He was doing what? But you'll have.

[Ben]

Well, it's when he's sitting on his phone and he's trying to fucking multitask. And it's like, bro, I'm going to Just stop telling you this story because it's literally not entering your brain right now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Ben went to the car wash and now his car is clean. Ben crashed his car? Where?

[Ben]

Into a Dairy Queen.

[Ken]

Why?

[Ryan]

Hold up, hold up.

[Mike]

Put your phone away.

[Ben]

Hold up, hold up. What now? All right, now, is everyone listening? Cuz I'm going to start the story over. So true. All right, well, I think we got a lot accomplished here.

[Ryan]

I think so too.

[Mike]

Do I gotta go do some spelunking.

[Ben]

The what?

[Evan]

Explore some caves, Ben.

[Ryan]

Oh, Spenny's gone.

[Ken]

We'll see Spenny shortly.

[Ryan]

Cave diving? Spinny.

[Mike]

Someone had the joke of, like, how you know your tunnel buddies if you hooked up with same girl as your buddy. If you're a girl and hooked up with the same girl, you're spelunking buddies.

[Ben]

That's what you're about to go into.

[Mike]

No, no, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go explore actual cakes. Caves at. I guess I don't. I have an hour till I.

[Ben]

Does anyone know what the hell is going on right now? Even got Jack throwing his hands up.

[Mike]

It was like I. I, like, killed Dalton the other day.

[CJ]

Stop sign.

[Mike]

I can't actually kill him, but we were out on the boat and I, like, went down the hatch. I'm like, well, see you guys. I'm gonna go boof some peptides. And it just brought him to his knees.

[CJ]

He's like, what the hell?

[Evan]

You're getting really out of pocket with this outro, man. One more.

[Ryan]

I love where this roadmap is. One more. Mike, give me one.

[Ben]

I don't know, man. I think we've heard what we needed to promote. Yeah, let's just end it here before Mike gets in trouble when he goes home. I was splunking. I heard you were splunking.

[Mike]

Just regular caves.

[Ryan]

Bye.

[Ben]

Okay.

[CJ]

All right, thanks for listening, guys. We'll see you next week.
