CJ
So you guys know I have like this weird reputation of breaking stuff.
Ken
Yeah, well, weird.
CJ
It wasn't my fault.
Ken
Never is, never is.
Mike
He's already looking at me like.
CJ
Debatably the rarest skateboard. Wally, why is Evan running around naked covered in honey?
Ken
I thought you said you're quitting Vape. Going to in six months be like, oh, yep, Lyme disease.
Ryan
Look at these guys. Tongues, Evan. The tongues of your ese have always thrown me off. I'm not gonna lie.
CJ
What's wrong with them?
Ryan
I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
CJ
Are they good or bad?
Ryan
Not going to say bad. I think they're weird.
Ken
Why do they go like they're popped, Mike. Yeah, you got to pop them.
Ryan
Yeah, I get popping. I get popping. Your tongues like Ryan's tongues are kind of pop, but like, why are they so freaking square?
CJ
So There's a little lip here and I could tuck them in and then tie it extra tight or they sit in front.
Ryan
What if you didn't do anything different besides just pulling them back? Would they just automatically go?
Evan
Mine just kind of popped naturally.
Ryan
So square.
CJ
Sorry my tongue offends you.
Ryan
It doesn't offend me.
Evan
Not the only tongue that offends you.
Dalton
Like weirdly vertical too.
Mike
Evan's. Evan's wearing outdated technology. Give him a break.
Ryan
Yeah. I just had a buddy that sent me a like a zoomed in video of someone wearing at knees and go, bro, do you remember when people used to wear these? And I.
Ken
Every day I have a guy that.
Mike
Wears them every day.
Ken
Yeah. You start buying them as investments though. Yeah, Yeah.
CJ
I have like three or four pairs I'm not really planning on taking out of the box unless there's like a real special occasion. Yeah. But the problem is is they're all my size because it really seems like a foreign concept to buy them, but I kind of want to collect them in a different size so I can wear all the ones I have because I actually really like to wear them. But I also think it would be cool to have one of each colorway makes total sense.
Ryan
Yeah. You wouldn't wear them because you couldn't.
CJ
Yeah. And I bought like literally all the Ryan Sheckler eight at knees I can find. I have spot.
Ken
Ken, can you look up how much those are going to be worth in 10 years?
Mike
Yeah, I mean Chad GPT it.
Evan
Let's see what your guys's favorite Google or Chat GPT says.
CJ
Hopefully they don't end up like my E Golf shoes that look mint and I walked about 100 yards with them and they fell apart.
Evan
Really?
Ken
Wow.
Dalton
Chat GPT is just giving me Ryan Sheckler net worth estimates, not even how much the shoes are going to be worth.
Evan
What's his net worth?
Dalton
6 to 35 million.
CJ
Quite a range.
Evan
You buying a pair of shoes and not wearing them seems like a not you thing to do. No, like that seems like something that you would make fun of me or better CJ for doing.
CJ
No. 100%. I'm not into just like collecting them. But now that I've bought so many pairs and realizing that like literally can't get them anymore, it's just like, ah, I have a hard time wearing this because when I put this on there, like might not ever be another brand new in the box one like this. I mean I'm sure someone somewhere has one maybe. But at least what I can just Buy. I can't.
Ken
You're just really in love with those shoes, huh?
CJ
Dude, they're so comfortable.
Mike
Is that really why you wear them? Because they're comfortable?
CJ
Why else would I wear them?
Mike
Because why are you collecting them? Clearly, if you think they're cool, Bought.
Ryan
Them to wear them and like them.
CJ
So much that I just bought all the pairs. And now that I found out I can't buy any more pairs, I have a hard time wearing my last three or four pairs that are brand new. So I didn't buy them intentionally to collect them. I just wanted, like, one of every color to wear.
Ken
I think you should start wearing, like, some hokas.
Ryan
If you wear hokas, obviously, that you cooked, bro.
Mike
Or those.
Ken
Yeah, you cook.
Ryan
You look ridiculous.
Ken
Oh, oh, wait.
CJ
I think I do know. I know what I know.
Ken
Like, if you want some comfy shoes, like, maybe you should just run these.
CJ
I bought a pair of these ones before.
Ken
Yeah, like those white ones for a tip. It was hocus. Yeah.
Ryan
What the hell?
Ken
For a tip.
Dalton
Yeah, I can definitely see you wearing these.
Ken
Story.
Mike
Let's hear a story. You bought a pair of shoes as a tip?
CJ
Yes.
Mike
Oh, how'd that work?
CJ
Because the. The bartender's shoes were blowed out, and I said, I'm not gonna give you a tip, but I'll buy you a new pair of shoes. Which ones do you want? That's what they picked.
Ryan
Freaking HOKA running shoes.
Ken
TP wears those? Oh, yeah, TP does.
Evan
TP can wear whatever he wants because he's so injured that, like, if he's got to wear comfortable shoes to not be in pain, I'm cool with it.
Ken
Yeah, it was pretty. Pretty unexpected to see tp, like the legend, hop out of his rental car wearing hokas.
Evan
You guys see his video about when New York, New York, Jim. When Jim York jumped the vet.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
Yeah. Ryan, can you imagine jumping your Corvette 110ft?
Evan
I. Dude, I can't imagine jumping anything.
Ken
110Ft, you land mammal.
Evan
Land mammal. Yeah, but. Yes. No. When I'm driving my Corvette, it doesn't seem like something that would jump very well.
Mike
If you watch the video, he damn near didn't make it too.
Dalton
He was disturbingly close to not making it.
Evan
What did they say his minimum speed was? Like 68. Or maybe it was 69, because that's funny. And he left the lip at 67.
CJ
Yeah.
Ken
Yeah.
Evan
He was like two miles an hour below the minimum speed that he had to hit.
Ryan
That's what I love about a lot of the stuff they do is like, they are calculated to an extent or just their years of doing it for so long, they know at the very least how fast to hit a jump at X trajectory.
Ken
Well, I mean, we saw how that went with TP's calculations on the. The 360 in the air.
CJ
A lot more variable.
Ryan
Everything he could besides.
Ken
I don't know. I think if you ask, like, anyone that knows, like, physics, they would disagree.
Ryan
Well, I guess no one asked anyone that knew physics because clearly we didn't. We were there. We didn't stop him.
Ken
What?
CJ
It gets easier to project, like, speed and trajectory in a straight line when you start spinning. It's kind of.
Ken
Yeah, yeah.
Mike
The spinning and the ice was probably the biggest thing, but he just barely clears it. But that's because he had traction control on, I think.
Evan
Yeah, traction control. Because I have, like, the PDR that shows, like, what the car is doing, like, what you're steering, how much throttle, how much braking put. And maybe they should have had, like, a Corvette guy there. Like, I could have been there to, like, help him. Help him. Because he had it in touring mode. It's notoriously. It's like damn near a Camry. It's a Corvette shaped Camry in touring mode. Like, it's so slow and so gutless. The valves are closing, the exhaust, like, the suspension. The traction control is like, the most limited version. I was just really surprised. And it probably happened. They probably had it all set up and they probably restarted the car to do something or somebody else hopped in it and changed something and then it changed. Like, I know how that happens. He was obviously focused on 110ft of different things.
Ryan
It does happen. Like, it seems like such a simple thing. Make sure the traction control is off. Before you try to go do donuts or whatever. Think of how many times it's happened to us. Oh, traction control is on. Sorry.
Ken
Yep.
Ryan
So, yeah, I could see that.
Ken
I just have a hard time believing that, like, those guys who jump more things and, like, do crazier things than anyone else would, like, make that simple mistake of, like, leaving it in touring.
Ryan
It's the first time, and they're probably.
Mike
Not familiar with a thing like that. They're used to just race cars that are always like that. Like, it's Corvette, it's ready to rip. What do you mean?
Ken
Yeah, maybe ready to fly.
Ryan
What do you mean?
Evan
None of his limos had traction control?
Ken
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. It was so gnarly. That was almost so bad, too. Like, what would have happened would he have just came to a stop. Would he have kept going? But like the front end would have. Would have would dug in and then like rolled end over end.
Mike
Like, only thing I know is Jim York would have been just fine.
Ken
Yeah, he would have been fine.
Mike
Just fine.
Ken
He's like that one guy that jumps like the crazy cars. Like we saw it at one of the Cletus events when that. Yeah, the guy jumps like a Crown Vic into other Crown Vics.
Ryan
Just like. Yeah.
Ken
And he's done. He said he's done it like 370 times or something like that.
Mike
Yeah, he would have just hopped right out and been.
Ken
Yeah, yeah.
Mike
He's just indestructible.
Evan
I don't know if it was the same guy or just a guy like him, but I saw him do it at like a county fair. They hoisted him up in a crane. He's sitting in the car and they get him like, you know, 65ft in the air and then they just drop him and he just hits like four cars in a little pile.
Mike
And then just way of doing that.
Evan
Like, this is like guaranteed car accident.
Ken
Yeah.
Evan
Like the best case scenario isn't even like you fly and land kind of on the wheels or like do something. It's just like you are just going to hit the ground.
Ryan
That just leaves the impressiveness factor out of it because like, he didn't do anything.
Evan
He had the balls to get in it.
Ryan
Yes, yes, yes. I'm not saying like he doesn't deserve any credit, but like when you're doing the one doing the jumping, like you're pressing the pedal, you're. You decided to true fear that car.
Ken
But that's a professional stuntman.
Ryan
I've seen that. Where they drop into the cars and the way the car is all crunch. Like, it literally looks so chill.
Ken
Yeah. There's like the one video, I guess, that Russian guy. We've talked about him on the pod before. But I mean, if you've ran across his videos, you know exactly who I'm talking about. But I've been seeing some lately. Like, I saw one where he was like hanging by the bottom of it over a lake and like then they just drop the car into the lake. I was like, okay, so once you're in the water, you got to swim out before the car crushes you.
Ryan
Same for the one that he did where he's just like sitting in a hole and they dropped the car and he just like ducks in the hole. I mean, some of those are just like, whatever. But have you also. I Don't know if this is new, but have you guys seen, like, he's also on, like, whatever drug whistle and Diesel's on, like, he just destroys cars. Really?
CJ
Oh, yeah.
Evan
Like, rage.
Ryan
So, yeah, Rage bait. But, like, I don't know, some of those.
CJ
Some of those cars, I need a translator when I watch it because sometimes he's saying stuff and I don't know what he's saying. And I'd like to know.
Ryan
But yeah, no, he's been on a little kick of, like, destroying the heck out of, like, pretty nice cars. Like a $200,000 Maybach.
CJ
Didn't they do one? They had like a chainsaw or a Sawzall or something in the dash while they're.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Ken
Drive to, like, that's funny.
Ryan
Rolls Royce. I don't know.
Evan
It's like, get them cheaper over there, dude.
Ken
Honestly, I saw that. And you don't know what they're saying and you don't know what the caption says because it's all in Russian. And. Yeah, I've just been seeing him, like, destroying cars and I figured he was just at that point in his career where, like, the gnarly stunts weren't enough for him. So he just need to feel something. And it wasn't even necessarily for, like, views. Like, he just, like, does crazy shit.
Ryan
Like that because, like. Yeah, you got people commenting all over and he's not even responding.
Ken
Yeah. Like, I feel like that guy's just a nut job.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
And he's doing that shit either way.
Ryan
Probably never going to go to Russia.
Ken
Really? I'd love to.
Ryan
Really?
Ken
I think it'd be cool. I think we go sherp across Russia for a video.
Mike
Be the longest fricking video ever.
Dalton
Take us like a month, I feel like.
Ken
And sherps do what, like 15 miles per hour?
Ryan
Yeah. West to east. How long is Russia?
Evan
Isn't there the whole map distortion of Russia, it's not actually as big as you think.
Dalton
Yeah, it's. It's smaller than you think. East to west, it's 5600 miles.
Evan
That's pretty freaking far. How much is the US? Like, 2700.
Ken
Right.
Dalton
New York to LA is 2700 miles.
Evan
Okay, so it's like twice as far as New York to la.
Mike
Taking a freaking shirt from New York to LA would be miserable.
Ryan
It would suck.
Mike
But speaking of nice cars, let's talk about it. Evan, how was the drive home in your new Lamborghini?
CJ
Best drive ever.
Mike
Was it?
CJ
Yeah.
Mike
A lot of people honking looking at you.
CJ
Honestly, I don't think anybody honked.
Evan
No, just pulled out in front of them.
Mike
Thumbs up.
CJ
Yeah, just like the standard, you know, it's a red Lamborghini, so a lot of phones out the windows. You know, kids in the backseat taking.
Mike
Videos, what the family and the homies.
CJ
At home think just pretty, pretty equal across the board. Everyone's just like, what the fuck? This is sick. Pretty much as mind blown as I am that I actually didn't.
Mike
What?
CJ
Yeah, I give my dad a ride.
Mike
What do you think?
CJ
He thought it was sick. I mean he was complaining about getting in and out and then I'd tell him like when he's going to get in, like, no, don't hold the window. You can't use the window as like support. Like here, let me help you. Yeah, I don't know, we just went for a little cruise, did a couple little poles or whatever. He's not like a big car guy. Go super fast, whatever. So it was parked like right on the road going into the golf course. I know a lot of his buddies and stuff. Like I think text him or whatever like what the hell is that?
Mike
Oh, it's Evan's new car.
CJ
Yeah, pretty much.
Mike
That's awesome. What? What Nikki and everyone else think.
CJ
Nikki loves it. Took little Aiden out for a rip. He was all hyped, I bet. Yeah, his eyes were getting all big. So anybody that didn't know that I got it.
Ryan
Those are probably.
CJ
When I. When I pulled up, everyone just was like, oh, you're driving the giveaway car. Nope, not the giveaway car. Oh, what is this? This is my car.
Ryan
And then you're like, what?
CJ
No.
Evan
Did you shoehorn slim into that thing?
CJ
He actually. No. He fit into bends though, so he probably should fit into this one. We didn't go for riding it. I just swung by his house real quick. He had just got home from Idaho, so he was all kind of all cooked up.
Ryan
Busy.
CJ
All cooked and busy. Yeah.
Mike
Have time for Evan and his Lamborghini.
Evan
Are you worried about like people back at home treating you different now that you're a Lamborghini owner?
CJ
No, I don't think so. I think I honestly everyone I think was just like stoked cuz now they get a chance to ride in a Lamborghini, which a lot of people never get that opportunity. So I don't think anyone is bummed about it or salty or whatever you want to say.
Ryan
Yeah, and if they were or even hinting at they were and they're not really, well then they're not like really your True friend. Yeah.
Mike
What you should have done is we should have got you a pretty small Lamborghini jumpsuit. And then you should have been wearing that the whole time when you were, like, surprising people, like, wow, this guy is just Lamborghini shoes. Like, everything's Lamborghini.
Ken
Such a loser.
Mike
Lamborghini sunglasses.
CJ
He would be a loser. It was kind of funny. I. I texted my buddy back five, six years ago. We played Forza a decent amount. And I was always running, like, Supras and Eclipses and, I don't know, STIs and like that. And he always was running Porsche 911s and he'd always rattle. He knew every fact about a Porsche 911. He doesn't have one. He just knew about him. And I had said something about, like, they're just so unrelatable. I'd rather, like, play the game with cars that I kind of see. Relatable. So then I. I messaged him that yesterday. I'm like, hey, remember when we used to play Forza? But I said I couldn't relate. And then I sent him that picture. He was hyped. He was super hyped.
Ken
He'd be like, so when did you turn into a douche then, huh?
Mike
Yeah, it turns out I can relate now.
Ken
We should play Forza.
Angie
I'm gonna.
Mike
I'm gonna drive the dude.
CJ
I seriously thought that as soon as I was, like, texting him that I'm like, well, I. I gotta fire up the Xbox and play some Forza. Rip a Gallardo around. Yeah. Yeah. Last time I had a Gallardo on a video game, I think it was need for Speed. Hot Pursuit.
Evan
That is the best need for Speed.
Mike
It's running good and everything, though.
CJ
I mean, yeah, throwing a few misfire codes.
Ryan
But really, I'm glad it's actually how. Throwing a code so we can diagnose it.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
But it goes away. It comes and goes.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
I don't know.
Ryan
That's almost worse. So mine was on my bike.
CJ
I'm not. I'm not too stressed about it. I did a little.
Mike
You got misfire codes on yours too.
Ryan
Has some throttle body codes, but they're on and off, so it's like classic. As soon as you try to go read it, then it's not there.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
When this. It keeps happening. When I have it in, like automatic and I'm going like 35 or 40 and it'll still be in like fifth or sixth gear, that's when it'll, like. It might just pop up a code.
Mike
Yeah. It might just be logging too much fuel.
CJ
Yeah. And I did some research and there's a lot of different levels of the code and there's flashing lights and all this. And basically what it's popping up is it like detected like a single misfire every 30 to 100 miles. It'll like rediagnose or something like that. I don't know. I was reading a bunch of forum shit.
Mike
Yeah, it's completely straight piped. It doesn't have cats or anything.
Ken
So that's true.
CJ
Yeah. Basically they said for that code would either like that commonly would be a little moisture that can get into like coil pack or the plug wires or something. Spark plugs could need to be changed or sensors in the exhaust could be like carboned up and shitty sensors could make sense.
Evan

Evan
Yeah, that would make sense.
CJ
It was all pretty minimal stuff. And then also the fact that. That the car ran absolutely flawlessly.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
And then the only other downside.
Mike
Put 91 in, right?
CJ
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is the AC doesn't rip that cold in it, which is fine. Cuz that's a windows down kind of car. Well, today I was caught in a torrential rainstorm too, so I had to have the windows up. That car generates some heat in it. Like if you just have no air moving. Like it is hot in there.
Ken
Really?
CJ
I'm like wearing jeans. I'm just sweating, like taking my hat off when I'm at a stoplight or the rain's not blowing in. I'm dumping the windows down. Just. Yeah, like I was about to take my shirt off.
Mike
Eight in the morning is at a stoplight. Everyone else going to work is in his Lamborghini. He's got his window down, he's shirtless.
Ken
Like, what the is this guy doing?
CJ
And then I guess one last complaint is I. I can't. I can't pee in a Gatorade bottle while I'm driving that thing. Okay. How often do you do that in my truck?
Ryan
Just, just.
CJ
Yeah, once per drive.
Ryan
Okay.
CJ
Back and forth, man.
Ken
You're making some good time. What?
CJ
Saves me a full stop. As long as I got a full tank of gas, I can make it the whole way.
Ken
And you don't think you can in that angle?
CJ
Dude, yeah, the combination of the angle and the cruise control. Because, like, to have to keep your foot.
Ken
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to kind of like perch your foot into the corner so that.
CJ
That's hard and also not something you want to just like spill piss all.
Ken
Over the inside of.
CJ
You don't want to do that either. Yeah, but yeah, like if you accidentally floor the Raptor, you have like a little bit of time. But if you just dump that.
Ken
Yeah, yeah, you're dumping.
CJ
I'm just not gonna pee in that one.
Ken
That's probably all right.
CJ
Yeah, that's fair.
Ryan
How many liters? That's a V10.
CJ
5.
Ryan
5 liter.
CJ
5 liters.
Ryan
5 liter V10?
Ken
Yeah. Dude, that is such a sick car. I think it's like timeless and the one that we found, like, we were, like, scouring the Internet for the last, like, two months, just trying to find, like, the coolest one, because, like, I don't know when you're looking for, like, that model, that a lot of them can just be, like, beat to shit or they can just be, like, bone stock. And when they're bone stock, they're pretty lame. And so that one we were originally trying to find, and we were going to wrap it so, like, you know, you can, like, get a silver one and wrap it. Wrap it purple or whatever we were going to do with it, but. And then when that one popped up, we were just like, oh, this is perfect. You don't have to do a single thing to it.
CJ
I honestly think it is perfect. Like, when I look at it, like, I love the wheels. Like, the wheels are sick.
Ken
Lowered. Yeah.
CJ
The sound system in it is sick.
Ryan
The screen, it's got. That's, like, one of the cooler. Well, not cooler parts about it, but they upgraded the screen to have bigger screens than most cars today.
CJ
I would say it is, like, a cooler part. Like, it's really sick because, like, obviously, a little bit of it seems a little. I don't know if dated is the right word, but, you know, like, the dash and stuff, compared to some of the new ones, it just seems a little older. But then you have this screen that does everything, and it's like, no, this is Brett. I don't know.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
Yeah. It's so sick. It's perfect.
Ken
It is nice. And a lot of times when they have, like, that kind of updated screen, it can just be, like, super janky. But that one's really nice.
Evan
It works pretty good.
Ken
Whoever we bought it from, clearly they cared enough about the car to, like, make sure that everything fit in it and done properly, which is good to see, because that can go. That can go one of two ways, you know, and it can just look, like, even worse. Yeah. Dude, I love that car so much. It looks so sick.
Evan
Hearing you pull in today was so sick. Like, it's just. You hear just a boom, boom, pulling in. I'm like, oh, yeah. Evan's back for the week in the Lambo.
Ken
Yeah, dude. No, I'm. I'm so stoked for you, bro.
CJ
Thank you, boys. Again. I don't think I can ever say it enough times, but, like, it's perfect. Like, any Lamborghini would be sick, but that thing is literally sick. Just so good.
Ryan
So fitting. I mean, it's a rock star car. We should go mobbing sometime. I don't know what that looks like next or what. I think I want to go drive. Drive our cars now.
CJ
I just want to drive like I don't have anywhere to go. Like I woke up at like 7:30 on Saturday morning and was just wired. Nikki's sleeping. I'm like whatever. I just.
Ryan
That's awesome.
CJ
Started just driving homey spots. Yeah, just pull up, rev it up in their driveway and they come out.
Ryan
Like what are you.
CJ
What is that? Because I didn't.
Ken
8Am and Evan pulls up in a red Lamborghini.
CJ
Like I didn't really tell many people that that knew. Like I was just like, knew I was going to town. So I'll just like pull up.
Ken
Yep.
CJ
Yeah, that was fun. Gave a few rides and such a.
Ken
Legendary Seaboise TV moment too. Like that one is going down in the history books of like. Remember that time that Evan got a Lamborghini? Like that's just crazy.
Ryan
Think there's like not that many people on the planet that have been truly gifted a Lamborghini. You know, you've seen David Dobrik do it a few Times. We've seen Mr. Beast do it a few times. Like you know, there you go. And I'm sure it's happened a handful of other times, but not a big handful.
CJ
And to think we're gifting a Lambo in the near future to one of you guys.
Ryan
Yeah, that is a little different with the giveaway. But I mean still it's. It's insane.
CJ
Well, speaking of gifts, I actually have a little gift.
Ryan
Boy me. You're making heavy eye contact for Mike.
CJ
So lately you've been collecting a lot of skateboards.
Ryan
Yeah.
CJ
Did you get your Tory Pudwell one by the way?
Ryan
Yeah, dude.
CJ
Cuz, how many of those are there?
Ryan
Like a hundred.
CJ
100?
Ryan
Yeah.
CJ
Well, this right here is a one of two.
Ryan
Holy crap.
CJ
Debatably the rarest skateboard ever.
Ken
Really?
CJ
Well, I don't know. How many skateboards are there only two of? I'm not sure. Maybe there's more. See, I don't know if you're going to want to skate it or wall art it or what you're going to want to do. I mean it's always fun to skate it. Oh, it's a one of two, Jimmy. Pro model.
Ken
Holy shit, that's good.
Ryan
Jimmy from Rednecks with Patriots.
Mike
How could I forget?
Ryan
Holy crap. That's hilarious.
Mike
That is amazing.
CJ
So the, the story behind it is I got the pop up ad on my Facebook feed to like create a skateboard I'm like, I wonder if this is real. So I. So I clicked on it and I'm like, what art am I gonna upload? And Mike had just sent me like that screenshot because we think it's so funny. And I'm like, I think I'll just click on that. And it looked too good on a board not to get that.
Ryan
Makes it even better because like, I. I love doing that. When you just like for a skateboarder, let's say you're just making some wall art, you need something for your office, and they're like, you can get another one for 50 off. And you just upload whatever funny ass things in your camera roll. And it just so happens to be this dude. Came there with his wife. He's the most redneck man there or something. But he got his jimmy stuck and his wife was just pissed. I don't even think he was supposed to be there.
Mike
I don't even think his wife knew they were gonna go mudding.
CJ
Yeah, that's the thing. Red rednecks will have mud chucks. A real redneck takes his daily.
Ken
And that guy, cigarette hanging out his mouth.
Ryan
Yeah, it was hilarious. And then we pulled him out and.
Ken
Then he drove right back into it.
Mike
His wife got mad and yelled at him and pushed him. Yeah, and then that cigarette was like.
Ken
Glued to his lip.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mike
Could not fall off.
CJ
So, yep, to in existence. I had to. I had to get myself one as well. Of course, not sure if it's gonna go on the wall or gonna skate it because we could always get another one. It might be kind of fun to skate. We'll see.
Ryan
Now. I would have put it on the wall. It's just such a good conversation.
Evan
Yeah, that's got to go in the living room.
Ken
I can't tell if he's cross eyed or if he's just looking down, but.
Ryan
I kind of want to find something going on. If anyone watching recognizes this man, I mean, I'd love to find out who it is.
Ken
Dude, that would have been even funnier if you would have had him sign it.
Ryan
Okay, maybe I'll do that.
CJ
I'll be reading the comments. Someone's got to know who this guy is.
Ken
Find this guy.
Ryan
I don't even. I mean, he could be from Texas. He could be from anywhere.
Evan
Yeah, that font.
Ryan
Yeah, the font is like my second favorite part.
CJ
Just did it the old school way where I typed Jimmy and just went down the road at which one looked like it belonged on a skateboard tail.
Ryan
I know how that goes.
CJ
Couldn't tell you what it's called, but.
Ryan
It seemed to fit so good.
Mike
How much that cost?
CJ
Like 50 bucks.
Ryan
Really cheaper than a normal pro model.
CJ
Well, I think for two of them, by the time it was said and done with, shipping was like 105, 110 bucks. So pretty. Pretty standard. Yeah, no problem.
Ken
Mike, your skate park is growing.
Ryan
It is.
Ken
Congrats.
Ryan
Thank you.
Ken
You were booted out of Ken's warehouse.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
And Mike's skate park found a new home.
Ryan
We had a temp set up. Temp home?
CJ
Well, the skate park is now the Chevy graveyard. It's kind of become a skate park, but.
Ken
But he's moving on. You're upgrading?
Ryan
I'm moving on. And I said this a couple times, either on the video or on podcast, but what I should have done from the start was just get a mini ramp, which is ak, A small half pipe. Should have done that from the start.
Ken
Not mess around with the big ramps.
Ryan
But we had a lot of entertainment. We had a lot of fun.
Ken
We launched R6 into orbit.
Ryan
Yeah, okay. That literally, like, that's my comment on our viral video of the R6 launching into orbit. And it's like that literally did make the skate park purchase worth it, seeing that thing fly up. But, yeah, we had a very legit skate park in the merch bay for a little while that disappeared. We bought some little mini ramps to make a ton of noise down here in the work bay, which we'll maybe still use in the winter. And then now we have a half pipe going out next week. And I fronted up some cash for a slab out back, and it's going to be very.
CJ
It wasn't going to be a slab until I bought the wrong paver block.
Ryan
Everything. You know how it goes.
Ken
Everything.
Ryan
It's like, yeah, Evan got the wrong paver blocks, but I was kind of in on that too. And next thing you know, they're like, these are wrong. Do you just want to pave it? Yeah, sure. We're just got concrete back there. It's going to be super legit, dude.
Ken
I knew it was getting legit as soon as that the concrete truck showed up. I was like, oh, Mike's really doing it.
Ryan
Yeah, we just did it right behind the shop here so that hopefully, you know, if you do it too far away, you don't use it. So, like, if you build a treehouse right out of your backyard patio door, you use it all the time. But if you build a tree house down the way from your yard, 100 yards away, you won't use it much.
Ken
It's a good example, Mike.
Evan
Build it and they will come.
Ryan
I did that. I felt bad. My dad built me this badass tree house. It was just far away enough from the house that I just like, didn't use it.
Ken
What?
Ryan
Nearly enough.
Mike
I always wanted a tree. I was growing up. You had a treehouse?
Ryan
I definitely obsessed over roof and everything. Yeah, I slept out there for like a summer. But then after that I just like. It didn't really. I went deer hunting out of it a few times.
Mike
How old were you when you slept out there?
Ryan
13, 14.
Mike
So like what'd you do when you were up in there?
Ryan
Like that's the thing.
Mike
Like anything.
Ryan
Yeah, it was just at the time where like I really so badly wanted to run extension cords down there, but I didn't.
Mike
And like, have like an Xbox.
Ryan
Yeah, I have an Xbox. So since I didn't get power down there, I just didn't really use it and I just felt bad. My dad put a lot of hard work into that.
CJ
Would it exist still?
Ryan
No. The trees just kept growing and growing and then it kind of like crunched up and then.
Ken
Really?
Ryan
Yeah.
Evan
Guess that makes sense.
Ken
The big oak trees.
Ryan
But yeah, like he. He used like old like windows from our house and we got our windows replaced like, and put like shingles on it.
Evan
And so it was legit?
Ryan
Yeah. Oh wow. It was legit.
Mike
Dude.
Ken
I always wanted a tree house. Yeah, I made a tree house like right next to my parents house. Me and the neighbor's kid did. It was just like a couple two by fours and like a plywood.
Ryan
Have you guys.
Ken
And that was about it.
Ryan
Have you seen what they have now? Those people will do it in their houses, but it's cool in the trees. It's like some sort of kind of stretchy nylon. Like rope. Like rope you would have on web.
CJ
They call it like a big web.
Ryan
Yeah, web. Isn't that sick?
Mike
Oh, in their house?
Ryan
Yeah, they do it in the house or like in a tree. But you can basically just web like a platform here, here, and then a huge one in some trees. And it's like if you do it tight enough, you just can't fall. It's sick.
Ken
Dude. We need to make a treehouse. I think on. On one of the properties. I think that'd be sick.
Ryan
A treehouse and then some web.
Ken
Yeah. I don't know what the hell we would do with it. It would probably just turn into extracurricular treehouse for certain people around here. But I don't know if we have any big enough trees, maybe at the drift. Oh, we got trees at the drift. Actually, that would be.
Evan
It'd be sick if it was on the island above it.
Ken
Oh, yeah, that would be sick.
Evan
It would be really cool.
Ryan
Yeah. If there's any place to do it, it'd be on the drift track. Hang out there. Like just the camera angles would be worth it alone.
Mike
That'd be the best spot until someone's up there.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mike
The tree gets hit and.
Ryan
Come on.
Mike
Thing goes down.
Ryan
Come on.
Ken
I mean, those trees are. Those trees are big enough that when you hit them, they're not moving.
Mike
You moved it quite a bit, but it went right back.
Ken
Yeah, it swayed. The craziest treehouse I've ever been in Washington. Grind hard. Plumbing co's.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
Wild. They have a couple of them, but one of them we went up into at night. And the only way into it is like across this sketchy ass bridge. They had like rope to get across this bridge. But just picture like a 2x4 bridge. You know, a bunch of two by fours lined up and it's still like swings. And then doing it at night, it was terrifying.
Evan
And they were way up in the trees. Like, not like your classic treehouse. Like 10ft off the ground. It was like 20. Yeah, 20, 30ft up.
Ken
Like if you fell out of that treehouse, you would die. And then their other one spins around the tree.
Ryan
They built it for a TV show before they did YouTube. They like GoT consulted because they built a cool tree house. And then this Discovery show or something along that line was like, hey, could you build another crazy treehouse and then we'll film it for a season or an episode or something.
Ken
Yeah. He had that bike that you could pedal and it would go up the road.
Evan
It's actually funny. I remember watching that on like the History channel. And it's so crazy that now we know him.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
Did you go up there, Evan?
CJ
Yep.
Ken
What did you think? You would have hated that, huh?
CJ
I mean, that kind of heights doesn't scare me as much as other kinds of heights, but yeah, no, it was sketchy. Like, it was raining a little bit. And I didn't do the big zip line.
Ryan
The zip lines they had going from the tree houses. One went over the house and then one went like even farther down to the ground, I think. Or to another platform. And we're like, okay, how do we do it? They're like, you just grab on to the handle and then go. And we're all like, dude, no, I mean, what you Just literally just swing 30ft in the air and just like, what if our hands get sweaty? And they're like. Well, no, just. Just hold on. You'll be fine. None of us did that. But then we did the one over the creek, which is almost just as scary. But you kind of start with your feet on the ground, and then it goes out to about 30ft. I did. That was like, biting me.
Ken
Oh, I did get bit.
Ryan
Yeah. And you did get bit. Terrifying.
Ken
Got to the other side of the zipline. Like, it was like, got bit and then kept going and then got to the other side, and it was just, like, coming in hot. And I was like, oh, this thing's coming in for. For seconds. I was just ready to pump that thing because I was like, dude, like.
Mike
Was it or how big was it?
Ken
Not that big. Like a smaller dog.
CJ
I'd call that a medium dog.
Evan
Bigger than, like, Daisy Bigger, you know?
CJ
Yeah, but. But it wasn't, like, appearing to be pretty aggressive. Like, maybe it was friendly, but you saw teeth and it was barking.
Ryan
I get, like, the guided zipline tours and all that. Like, that's different because you're tons of rules and safety precautions, but when you're just holding on to a zip tie. Not zip tie, zip line with two hands on the bar, I believe that you should be going into the water.
Ken
Yeah, but you gotta be, like, really weak to mess that up. Like, growing up, me and CJ's neighbor, I get the head zip line, and it's like, you would think that, but, like. Yeah, you just straight up, you gotta be have, like, Reese on your hands to, like, fall, because it's not like you're gonna get halfway into, like, a 15 second.
Ryan
That's true. You can make that first bounce. Like, you're good, but I just worry not so much about weakness, but about people with less coordination. You know, they kind of. You know people when they, like, get on a moped and then they shit the bed, and next thing you know, it's. It's in the garage door.
Dalton
Yes, Mike, I know you're talking about me, but, yeah, I'm. I did the seated one. I didn't do the handle.
Ryan
Oh, I wasn't specifically talking about you.
CJ
You did a seated zipline.
Dalton
The neighbor next to Ben and cj, they had, like, the. The one where you, like, hold on with your hands. And they also had, like a. Yeah.
Ryan
That was nice on it.
Ken
Yeah, we had a ball.
Ryan
The attachments. Yeah, you sit on it. You had the bar, you had the. The tandem.
Dalton
I know. I feel like with those zip lines, though? It's like once you get going, you kind of like, get this mentality of, okay, I can't let go right now. Otherwise, it's like a. A big drop. It. Like it mentally locks you in.
Ken
What? Nothing. I don't know.
Mike
Just everything's kind of funny right now. And then the way Evan just goes, someone said, just sit on it. And I look at Evan, he's already looking at me like.
CJ
You get into the CBD this morning?
Mike
Just a little bit.
CJ
I thought you were a little loose.

Ken
I broke into Ryan's house this weekend and found out that he's got the absolute mother load of snacks. Like an insane amount of snacks.
Mike
I'm not surprised to hear that.
Ken
But then, like, I can't. I can't even wrap my mind around how many different snacks you have, right? I walked in, expected him to be there. He wasn't there. No one was there. It was just his dog.
Mike
What time is it?
Ken
1:30 in the morning.
Ryan
Well, that's also was funny. He's like, you were like, hey, I got dropped off because you got jammed up in a pickle. And I'm staying at your house, Ryan. And I'm like, dude, bro, you live like three miles from Ryan.
Ken
A little farther, but I'll explain how it all happened. But basically I was at a wedding and Greta was supposed to go to the wedding with me. She didn't feel good, so she stayed at home. And she was like, I can drive you. And so like, after the wedding, we ended up going to like, out to the bars and we ended up at the Holiday Inn. And like, nothing good happens at the Holiday Inn past 1:00 clock. I was like, ah, this is probably when I better shut her down. And so I start calling my, my Uber driver, Greta, and she doesn't answer. And after she didn't answer on the first one, I was like, oh, she ain't answering.
Evan
Yeah, you know, So I call her.
Ken
A couple more times and I was like, oh, this is not good. I was kind of banking on her to be my driver, right? So I make a couple other calls. It's like 120 at this point, and it was not looking promising. I was just like trying to think of my options, right? Because it's like in our town, we don't have Uber, so you're kind of sol unless you find a ride. And so I was just like, I could walk from Holiday Inn to Greta's parents place. I guess my to be in laws.
CJ
Could have just got a hotel room there.
Ken
I could have. I did. That did cross my mind too. But I was like, I would rather just walk like five miles. And so I was like, I could just stay there.
Ryan
And.
Ken
And then I was like, yeah, maybe that's my best option. So me and my, my buddy Zach and then his girlfriend who live right down the road from him start walking. And it was gonna be like a two mile walk. It's pretty light work. Honestly, I was, I was cool with doing it. Yeah. And we like start doing it. We're still in like all of our wedding attire, right? I'm in like a suit and shoot, like dress shoes and like his girl was barefoot. And we're like walking on like basically just like the road. And there's a kind of like a scenic little lookout like, right. Like in between. And there's like this guy just like sitting in his car right there. And I was just like, yeah, he seems like a nice guy. Hey, can you give us a ride like two miles up the road? And he was like, yeah, that's no problem.
CJ
Because I was like, I mean, what was he doing?
Evan
Yeah, was he fishing or just hanging?
Ken
He had just got done with work. He worked there at Burger King. But what time is Burger King? What the hell he was doing? I don't know what the hell he was doing.
Ryan
Right.
Ken
But that'll. It'll play into my. Where I go with this. Right? Okay. And so me and, and Zach and Cielo, like, hop in. And I was like, well, if anything happens, like three of us, I guess, against like one, it felt pretty good about that. Right? And so like, we start going, and.
Evan
You'Re such a fighter.
Ken
So we start going. And he like, I give him like all the money in my wallet. I had like 33 bucks or something like that. So I was like, oh, this isn't going to get me very far, I guess to like. Yeah, I don't know. And he like drops Zach off. And then I was like, ah, just like, like four more miles like up the road. And I'm like the internal battle, like, do I have this guy give me a ride or do I just like walk the rest of the way or what do I do here? You know, I was just asking him questions like, you know, what do you. What do you do for work? And tells me I was like, what were you. What were you doing, like, back there? Like, some things just kind of weren't, like, adding up. And then at this point, like, Zach and his chick had hopped out, and I was just like, yeah, man. I just live, like, right here. You're good. Just drop me off, right? And it was at Ryan's house. Ryan's house. And he was like, okay. So he hops out. I give him all my money. It was like 33 bucks. And I was like, thanks, dude. It was pretty good for, like, three mile ride. I was like, thanks, bro. And I, like, walk up to Ryan's, fully expecting Ryan to be sleeping. It was, you know, at this point, like 1:45, 1:30 in the morning. And I, like, walk into his house and all the lights were on. No one was home. And Daisy was laying on the couch and just, like, didn't. She didn't even get up.
Evan
She doesn't bark at you?
Ken
No, she didn't bark at me. She just looked at me. No. So I went over, gave a little scratch, and then I was like, all right, let's see what we're working with here, Ryan. I just started raiding Ryan's, like, freaking pantry and just hit the absolute motherload. Like, have you guys seen the show? It was like when even Stevens, the Disney Channel movie, when even Steven's family went on, like, that family vacation. And, like, Beans, I think, opens up the pantry and there's, like, all the snacks. Do you remember that? That scene?
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
That was me walking into Ryan's kitchen.
Evan
Like, I picked the best house to break.
Ken
It was insane. Dude.
Evan
You know what's actually funny is Alondra had just organized the snacks, like, two days before because all of our cupboards were a mess. And she went through the whole house and organized them. It was like, the perfect time for him to be showed off.
Ken
Yeah, well, it was a good look, Ryan. But, yeah, I mean, he had. He had cookies, he had beef sticks, he had Bucky's Golden Nuggets. He had chips, he had Cheez Its. He had applesauce. Every kind of cracker you could imagine. He had all the pub mixes down here. He had all the. Every fruit snack you could imagine. Nuts, Rice Krispies, treats. And then in the fridge, he had, like, all these, like, applesauce things and then a bucket of cookies. What else did he have over here? Pickles. I piled like, 12 of those pickles in the least sus way. But, yeah, it was crazy, Ryan, so I really appreciated that. And then Ryan came and picked me up on his boat and gave me a ride home. So it was like the absolute plot.
Ryan
Dropped off on your dock where you still had to walk.
Ken
Yeah, I still had to walk. But dude, it was such a play. Ryan, I just, I just want to tell you I appreciate you for that.
Evan
I mean, the last time you and I texted individually was literally in June talking about work things. So to get a text from you at 1:37am Yo, I'm at your house. I'm. I'm in the bar right now reading this. Yo, I'm at your house. I need a place to stay. Lol. So I just quick send you the code to get into the house and then you go, bro, where are you, bro? Just fell down your stairs.
Mike
I did.
Ken
Yeah. When I was in Ryan's house, I was looking for him. I was like, why is he not here right now? And then I went upstairs and I was texting him, yo, I'm in your house. Missed a step, slid down his stairs. So I'm laying on the ground and I'm like, oh shit. I think I text, yeah, I just fell down your stairs.
Evan
Then he goes, someone saying your guest bedroom. Then he go, can you just give me a ride home? And tune. Actually, yeah.
Ken
That was so clutch.
Mike
Starting to make some sense now why you were late for golf with grandpa.
Ken
Dude, that was such bullshit. That was bullshit.
Evan
3:13Am you texting me, thanks for the ride home?
Ken
Yeah, I probably shut her. Yeah, yeah, I was. Yeah, by the time I got home, I think it was probably like four. Just think if I was falling asleep.
Mike
I called you. It was like 30 minutes out from the tea time. And he's like, hello? I'm like, so I take it you're still in bed.
Ken
I was like, yeah, what's the problem? But yeah, no, that was. They moved the tea time. I didn't find out then. I just looked like a pile of Showing up an hour late.
Mike
No, we waited for him.
Ken
But yeah, that was awesome. I love having Ryan as a neighbor now.
Evan
I know.
Ken
Especially finding that mother load. Dude.
Evan
Yeah, you guys are welcome. I've been trying to get everybody to come over and hang out. We got snacks, we got.
Ken
Why didn't you lead with the snacks?
Evan
I know I should, I guess.
Mike
We got snacks.
CJ
You got beers?
Evan
Yeah, I got beers. I got Tony's in the fridge. I got a mini fridge with Tony's stocked.
Ken
Vodka, tequila would recommend. If there's a place to leave a review. Ryan, let me know.
Evan
I'm going to get a guest book. Let's be Ben Every night he can't get home from the bar. Snacks are good tonight.
Ken
Yeah. So then I did end up getting home and I like walked into the house. All my lights are on at my house too. And I was like, what is going on right now? I. I just expected Greta just be like sleeping, you know, it's locked up. But she was just like fell asleep sitting upright.
Evan
No way.
Ken
Yeah, like waiting for me to call, but she didn't turn her ringer on.
Evan
Oh my God.
Ken
And so she was like, all the lights in the house were on. And then I like walked in and she just like opened up her eyes and she was like, oh my God.
Ryan
She knew right away.
Ken
She's like, how did you get home? And I was like, you don't? I don't. I'm not even going to tell you right now. It's such a long story. And then she like picked up her phone and she's like, did you call me 27 times? Okay.
Evan
We had a great time though. The tune Uber is great.
Ken
Yeah, that was fun.
CJ
Speaking of boats and so you guys know I have like this weird reputation of breaking stuff.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
Weird.
Dalton
You broke your car the first time you touched it.
Ken
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Literally.
CJ
So my buddy Slim got himself a proper fishing boat this summer or this spring. He picked it up just a little like early 90s. It's like a 16 footer, 40 horse motor on it. Just a proper fishing rig. And he has had it out eight times this year. Never had a problem with it. Runs like a top. So we're out at my cabin and he needed to get dropped off at the public access to pick up his truck to drive it back to the cabin. So he drives the boat across the lake. We're just pulling up to the dock. I hop behind the controls of the boat. He hops out onto the dock and before he could even get to shore, I whip a U turn and just crank the throttle wide open and the lower unit just explodes out of the boat. Like all the bad metal noises, I can't even. But. And just see Slim just slowly turn around. He's. Yeah. Halfway from the boat, from the dock to. To its truck. Just turns and just gives me that look like, really?
Ken
You rap ass.
Ryan
This guy.
Mike
So now what?
CJ
He's got to get a new lower unit. It wasn't my fault.
Ken
Never is. Never is.
Evan
I mean, is Slim ever went wide open throttle on that thing?
CJ
Dude, it. I literally we went wide open across the whole lake for like three miles.
Ken
To maybe rev it up, work into it.
CJ
I Don't. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I got after it a little too quick. I think it was just bound to. I'm sure it would have happened to him the next time he turned the throttle.
Ken
Yeah.
Mike
How much it gonna cost for him to fix that?
CJ
I think he figures he can get into a. A used lower unit of a junkyard motor for a few hundred bucks.
Ryan
It's the most expensive thing I've heard you say in a little bit. Yeah, buddy. Slim figure you get into a used lower unit for about 2, 300 bucks.
Ken
Just gotta go and hit a couple junkyards.
Evan
You guys even catch any fish?
CJ
Caught a few northerns. I caught a huge dogfish, which I don't know if you guys have ever seen a dog fish, but they are ugly. Ugly. And they're like a rough fish or whatever. You're not even supposed to let them go.
Ryan
You.
CJ
You need to like. Supposed to like kill them.
Ken
Oh, really?
CJ
My aunt has like a game came route and she feeds the foxes and stuff. So we actually just threw it out in the lawn and the foxes and the raccoons got after it. It was kind of cool, actually. Whole nature.
Ken
I didn't know dog fish were like invasive.
Ryan
Yeah, they're nasty.
Evan
It is weird because when you describe a fish as ugly, like a walleye is a good looking fish, you know, like, I get that. But ugly fish kind of are scary.
Mike
They're gross for sure.
CJ
Yeah, they're pretty heavy. They're kind of lazy. So like I've only caught a few my whole life, but they almost feel like you have a snag because there's a bunch of weight, but they don't fight super hard. And then when it comes up, it's like, holy, it's a big fish. You go, oh, it's a barker.
Ken
That's what they're called, Barkers.
CJ
Oh yeah. Dog fish.
Ryan
Couple fish in a lower unit.
Ken
I would love to go up to Canada and go fishing.
Ryan
Like lake of the woods or.
Ken
Yeah. Anyway, yeah, just like up north and get on a bunch of.
Ryan
I say we still got to go to the Hamptons to go tuna fishing.
Ken
That'd be fun too.
Evan
You can go tuna fishing in the Hamptons.
Ken
Yeah, New York. Jim keeps inviting us.
Ryan
He's invited us about 700 times. But then he shows the pictures of the tunas that his son's catching is like, you just forget how big we're reeling in fish that are that way as much as me. Damn.
Mike
Maybe more.
Ryan
Maybe more. Yeah. Yeah.
Dalton
Like they're as. They're as big as you though?
Ryan
Like.
Dalton
Yeah, massive.
Ryan
Like even as big as you. Tall.
Dalton
They're holding the tuna fish up by like a crane thing and it's taller than the fishermen.
CJ
And they taste good.
Ryan
Yeah, and they taste good. You get a freezer literally full. Yeah. How much meat is that? That's like as much meat as you get off. Like a deer?
Ken
Yeah, I think a ton. And you can get a lot of money for those too.
Evan
Aren't you scared of like the ocean, Ben?
Ken
Like why would you not be afraid of the ocean?
Mike
Yeah, I'm a little scared of water in general.
Evan
Yeah.
CJ
I like to see shore when you get out far enough that no matter which direction you look, you don't see land. When you start to feel real small.
Ken
What's the stat? Like how much of the ocean is unexplored?
Evan
Yeah, I think we know more about space than we do the ocean.
Dalton
We know more about the moon than we do the ocean.
Mike
Wow. Why?
Evan
Well, it's easier to lie about the moon.
Dalton
80% of the ocean is unexplored.
Ryan
Wow. Wow.
Dalton
It's just so tough to get to because it's like, it's so hard to get a like a submersible.
Evan
We should go throw a GoPro down and one. We should just like go out in a boat and like throw a GoPro down and we'll be like. We explored a new part of the ocean.
Mike
What's like the deepest a submersible can go?
Ken
I think. Yeah, you can hire like companies called like Ocean Gate. Well like documentary on that actually. I'm excited.
Dalton
Offering one way trips though. They're not, they're not a round trip.
Ryan
The deepest submarine dive in history was achieved by Victor Vescovo in 2019, reaching a depth of 10,928 meters, which is 35,853 3ft.
Mike
And he was in it. That's really how many feet he was in it.
Ryan
35 00056.
CJ
Convert that to miles real quick.
Ryan
So we have seven miles.
Ken
There's a part in the ocean that is that deep.
CJ
Oh, I think it's much deeper.
Ryan
Much deeper.
Ken
What's the deepest part in the ocean?
Ryan
It says the deepest part of the ocean is the Challenger Deep located, blah blah. Which is 10,935 meters.
Ken
Yeah. Okay, so was that.
Ryan
I guess they went to the bottom.
Ken
What's the submarine look like?
Dalton
That one probably didn't have any windows or anything.
Ken
Where is the deepest part?
Dalton
It's between like the. It's in the Atlantic between like America And Africa.
CJ
All I can think about is driving seven miles at 60 miles an hour.
Evan
And then, yes, this thing is whack.
Dalton
Look at this thing.
Ryan
Maybe there's a safety cable. Yeah, it's like a weird pod looking thing.
Dalton
$48 million, 27,000ft down.
Ryan
So, yeah, I mean, it basically says.
Evan
He went to the Puerto Rico trench. When Alondra and I were in Dallas, we went in an underground parking garage. But the parking garage above was, like, a building under construction. So it was, like, really scary when you drove in and then you went down. And we went down, like, 10 floors.
Ryan
Holy.
Evan
And it was an old parking garage because Dallas is really old. And it was very tight and small and dark. And it was actually like. We both got, like, really claustrophobic down there. And then you hopped in an elevator from about 1970 with a bunch of graffiti in it and then went up.
CJ
It's like being in an old, like, m shaft.
Evan
We had videos of us in gold creek climbing back in one of those abandoned ones. But you ever done, like, those tours where you go back in a min shaft or in a cave? Dude, caves are actually cool. Caves are sick.
Ryan
Super cool.
CJ
Caves scare me.
Ryan
When we were on our way to Missouri, there was, like, 79 freaking billboards for the same cave place.
Ken
Oh, yeah.
Ryan
I just like caves in general. But by the 75th one, I'm like, all right, I'm sold. Like, you. You boys trying to go.
Evan
But, yeah, you can take little.
Ken
Did you guys go?
Ryan
No, I actually did think about it.
CJ
Mike made a wrong turn, and we ended up at a zoo.
Ryan
There's peacock.
Ken
Saw that. What was that even about?
CJ
Literally one.
Ryan
One little. I watched you guys. I watched you guys with a big trailer pull away, and I'm like, damn it. And I turn around. Next thing you know, we're in a zoo. Like, peacocks running around in front of the truck.
Ken
Yeah, you guys sent that photo. And I was like, oh, these guys must not be trying to get home.
Ryan
Yeah, we still work.
Ken
Would you rather go up 5000ft, Evan, or down 5000ft?
CJ
Define the up. It's like, in an airplane year.
Ken
Yeah, but like, a sketchy airplane.
CJ
I'll go down.
Ken
Seriously? You would rather go down in a sketchy submarine than up in a sketchy airplane?
CJ
Okay, I was thinking, like, some abandoned m shaft or something. Would I crawl down in there or get into, like, this little two seater, four seater, sketchy airplane? I'll take the m shaft. But a sketchy submarine, That's a real pond there.
Dalton
You have, like, technical problems. With a sketchy submarine, you're just dead. Like, there's no recovering that. You have technical issues. With a sketchy plane, like you can at least glide to somewhat relative safety.
CJ
You probably vaporize quicker in that submarine. Yeah, you're going to have a violent. You know what's happening for probably a little bit before you dress the plane. So maybe I go with the quick one.
Ryan
With the submarine, you basically are like gone before you can even think about what could happen.
Ken
Could you get crushed at 5,000ft?
Ryan
Maybe.
Dalton
I mean, depends on how sketchy your submarine.
CJ
Well, yeah, you'd be toast.
Evan
Yeah, I think it would have enough.
CJ
Even if you didn't explode completely, you still would explode.
Ryan
Yeah.
Dalton
There is that. That kind of sketchy submarine from like the 40s on Facebook marketplace. I keep seeing.
Evan
Oh, I have been seeing that. Pull that thing up.
Ken
Let me see it. I haven't seen it.
Ryan
But also if we were just messing around and going like 10ft and.
Mike
Yeah, until you get stuck in it. It's got a slow leak. And then you can't go up and.
Ryan
Have to wait for it to fill out. Fill up before you go out.
Ken
Can. You know that lake that you were just at this weekend in Idaho, People keep.
Dalton
People kept saying that it's a. There's a military.
CJ
That's ponder.
Ken
And you were at different lake. We were at that point.
Dalton
I drove by that lake and people were saying like, yeah, it's like a couple thousand feet deep there. And the. The Navy like test submarine equipment there. Yeah, it was so crazy. Like there's probably a submarine just swimming around.
CJ
Yeah, they. Someone said that that Priest lake was like a thousand. Eleven hundred feet deep or something. Like, holy. That's. That's deep. Like, oh, that's nothing. The one down the road is twice as deep.
Ken
Yes. Well, like 1800ft deep.
CJ
I think 21. I think it's over 2000. I think Lake Superior's deepest spot is. Her deepest is like 8, 800 range.
Ken
Holy crap.
Evan
Because that's like 1100ft. It's the deepest. There's only four deeper lakes in the world.
Ken
Even swimming in that lake gives me the heebie jeebies. I don't like it.
CJ
You can see those creeps me out a little bit. So cool how that water is out there.
Ken
Okay.
Evan
Actually, this is. This is funny. I'm glad we can bring this up to me, long height and tall height don't make sense. Like to be driving a semi at 75ft is like, oh, you know, it's a big rig, but Then you get. If you get a. A 75 foot tall building. It's like really fucking tall.
Ryan
Yeah.
Evan
So then you, like, think about it like you're like, oh, damn.
Ryan
Yeah. You think about standing on the tip of the Empire State Building and obviously not thinking about falling, but thinking about swimming all the way down to the ground. That's a long ways.
Ken
With the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior, aren't there still, like, bodies that are preserved down there? Because it's so deep and cold?
Dalton
No bodies were recovered from it.
Evan
And the Canadian government passed a law in 2006 that prohibits diving on the Edmund Fitzgerald. What are they hiding?
CJ
It was up in.
Mike
No bodies were recovered. 29 crewmen.
Dalton
I have heard stuff about that where, like, if it's deep enough and like, where light doesn't penetrate down, there's not like that much decomposition on wrecks like.
Evan
That Davy Jones locker you have that.
CJ
CJ, what year was that?
Mike
1975.
CJ
That's not that long ago. For some reason, I thought it was much longer ago.
Ken
I thought it was longer, too. How deep is that thing down there?
Mike
530Ft.
Ken
And scuba divers can go that deep?
Mike
They had a submersible, U.S. navy submersible, discovered in November of 1975.
Ken
Yeah, I don't know, dude. Something weird about people that like to go down there. I feel like I used to work.
CJ
With this guy that would go up the North Shore and he would do like the free diving. So we just have like a snorkel on, see what he wanted to see, and then just like dive down. That seems like such a risky game to play. Like, I think he was around like two plus minutes. He could hold his. Hold his breath while swimming. I bet none of us could hold our breath for two minutes sitting here when you're swimming under pressure.
Mike
I couldn't even hold it for a minute.
CJ
I'd have to hit a vape.
Ryan
I don't.
Ken
I don't need air.
Mike
But you hit the vape.
Evan
How long do you think you go not breathing, only hitting the vape. You only breathe through the vape?
CJ
I could probably live for years.
Ken
Ken, did you. I heard you quit vaping.
Dalton
Who said that?
Ken
I thought you did.
CJ
No, I heard you were putting zins in between your toes now, keeping it discreet.
Dalton
That's just our filmer.
Ken
Our filmer do that?
CJ
I think they just said that was like a hockey player thing to do, but that wasn't even zins.
Ken
You never heard of kids doing your mouth?
Mike
Dude, you don't put it in.
CJ
I. I heard of Kid they used to. They'd put chew in between their toes.
Dalton
I always heard hockey players doing that.
Evan
So you could have a dip in while you're playing.
Ryan
Right, right.
Ken
Urban legend.
CJ
As a joke.
Ken
I've never.
Ryan
I've never heard of anyone doing that.
Ken
But could do that if you wanted. I thought you said you're quitting vape.
Dalton
Going to.
Ken
We all.
CJ
We all are, Ken. Just not today.
Ken
Just not today. Okay.
Mike
You've been vaping for Ken.
Dalton
When did Evan come around?
Ken
No, you were, bro. You were vaping on the big rig back in the day when C.J. put in it.
CJ
I bet you've been vaping longer than I have, Ken. I'm probably five years, tops. Probably less than five years.
Mike
Yeah. You're actually more of a vapor than Evan.
Dalton
I have had a. Not to change topics, but I've had a lot of Prius and Subaru drivers, like, telling me, you know, they're giving me, like, a. A finger. I don't know.
Ryan
They're like, which finger?
Dalton
It's like a middle one. They're usually pointing it up at me when I drive by.
Mike
Because of your Tesla?
Dalton
I mean, that's just what I've been driving in it.
Ken
But it's still.
Dalton
It's worse on weekends.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mike
People still hate you. I figured they would be over it because Trump and Elon kind of had their falling out.
Ryan
It's hilarious.
Dalton
It's just always people in Priuses or Subarus that do it.
CJ
Mike's driving his Subaru very obviously.
Ryan
Me. You can.
Ken
So, yeah, we had kind of talked about it a couple pods ago, but, like, in our area, a lot of people just come and live here during the summer. Right. So it's gotten very busy. But I have noticed if you're following somebody and they're like, legit going, like the speed limit, and you're going, like 4 miles per hour over. Right. So it's not like you come up really fast. But there's something about when they, like, pull over to let you pass that just pisses me off. Really?
Ryan
Yeah. I love.
Ken
I was going to say no. It, like, actually, like, pisses me off. I don't know why. It's just something like that. They're just being babies.
Mike
Like, they should be speeding with you if you're up on their tail, keep up with traffic.
Ken
Yeah.
Ryan
I look at people who pull off as smart people, people with common sense. They understand that you want to go faster. They don't need to. They're not going to. If I. If I go five miles an hour, Faster. You're just going to jam me up more because it makes it harder to pass you, maybe.
Ken
I guess.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
That's a pretty good way to look at it. I kind of look at it just as like, oh, my gosh, what are. What are even. Are they doing? Are they just out for a drive? Every time I see that, I'm like, are they just driving around for fun or what? Like, they don't have somewhere to be. Like, if you had somewhere to be, just go 5 miles per hour over like everyone else on the road.
Dalton
I came up on a lady doing 45 and a 60, and I was. That's probably the closest to somebody's bumper I've ever been on. So mad.
Evan
I agree.
Ryan
The most impressive tailgater I know. Yeah.
Evan
I am a bad.
Ryan
You do it a lot. I'm just saying you're the most impressive, like, your ability to drive that close to someone at highway speed sometimes and just be like, yeah, well, you should have moved over.
Evan
That's my main beef with that, is I am pulling. Which is not good because I'm pulling a large, heavy trailer, but they're just hogging up this lane and can very easily scooch over. And, like, I come up with my Dodge Ram with the headlights in their mirrors. Tow mirrors out, air horning at them. I just. I just want them to move.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
How close did you get, Ken, when you said that you were tailgating?
Evan
Yeah, I'm intrigued.
Dalton
Was probably within five feet.
CJ
Could you still read their license plate or.
Ken
You were so close.
Dalton
The hood blocked. License plate.
CJ
Okay. That's close.
Ken
Were you in your cybertruck?
Ryan
Yeah.
Evan
That's why he's getting so many middle fingers.
Ken
Yeah. Did this have anything to do with them flicking you off?
Dalton
No, no. The people giving me middle fingers, they're always, like, going the opposite direction.
Ryan
The cool thing about the cybertruck is when you let off the gas, like, you don't risk, you know, like, yeah, keep the same speed. It automatically breaks next person, like, flicks you off.
Mike
If they're going the opposite way, just turn around, fly up on their bumper, and then, like, get up next to them, be like, what the.
Evan
Like, freak out.
Mike
And they'll probably all just, like, coward.
Dalton
If I don't have something going on. I've considered it.
Mike
You should a couple times just go cycle.
Evan
Got something going on, though.
Ken
Just scared.
Evan
It would be pretty funny.
Ryan
Yeah.
Evan
I drove. Was going through DL on Saturday, and there was one of, like, the no Kings protests. And it was, like, right at the main light in Town. And I'm sitting there in my Corvette and they're like yelling at me. What standout car. They probably assume correctly that I don't stand with them, but they're like, h. Like, hey, hey. Like, look at me. I'm just sitting there in my car. Windows are up, there's 55% tint on it. Because I'm a stupid who wants to have a legal car. And so I'm just like sitting here, I'm like, I'm not going to be like the guy. Guy in the diesel truck in front of me. They rolled coal all over him. Because I just am not going to do that.
CJ
But I'm though.
Evan
Yeah, I'm just really not trying to like, get in a verbal back and forth with this lady.
Ken
I can imagine it sounds like your worst nightmare, just sitting there. Like, how many were there? I don't know.
Evan
A couple hundred.
Ken
What were they.
Evan
What were they doing protesting Elon and Trump? I think the funny thing about that is the person who organized it, they're protesting against oligarchs and I don't want to get political. They're protesting against oligarchs and large corporations and people ruling America. Who do you think organized this protest? The owner of Walmart. The owner of Walmart, who very clearly is affected by tariffs and other things that. That political. That the Republicans are putting on. That's why they motivate them.
Ken
Yeah, that's.
Mike
Wow.
Ryan
What.
Evan
There's always a motive.
Ryan
I learned. Yeah, we don't get too much into this. I learned the yesterday that they're like professional protesters, that there are people that. That trap. They go on tour to hit all the protests. That's insane.
Mike
What do they call those people?
Dalton
Professional idiots.
Ken
Homeless. Thank you. Unemployed.
Ryan
Antifa or what are they called there Is that.
Dalton
That's different.
Ryan
But people in there could fall into that category.
Dalton
I came across an Instagram page and it's a dude. He'll go to these protests, that guy, and then he'll find people who are professional prot. And then he'll go back like through other protest pictures and find them at all these different protests.
Mike
Crazy.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
It doesn't matter what the protest is.
Ryan
No, no, no. See, it's not so much that. I mean, in this case, they. There's lots of protests going on over the course of, you know, the past month to who knows how long, and they. They go around and they. They go protest the same or similar causes.
Mike
No, I'm pretty sure they're professional protesters that are hired.
Ryan
Oh, I agree with that too.
Ken
But like, they don't care what the causes.
Ryan
Yeah.
Mike
Come and help create chaos.
Ryan
Yes. But like you're saying that those people that are hired or that they don't care the cause, like they're showing up creating chaos. I'm not saying right wing protests and far left wing protests.
Mike
Probably not the right wing.
Ryan
No, right.
Dalton
There's. I mean, there's crazies on, on both sides. And it's like every. There's. Then there's like other people who are like, okay, we got to make this an absolute shit show, so let's. Cause like, let's start burning cars and all that.
Ken
That's antifa.
CJ
Let's do some looting. Let's need a tv.
Dalton
Go rob the Nike store.
Ryan
First taste I got of that was in one of my favorite movies, Hot Rod, when they were like walking like, da, da, da, da, da da. And it's all like, positive. And then someone like throws like a Molotov cocktail into a car and then everyone starts rioting and they're like. And then they all get out and they're like, damn, that got really dark there for a second. And then he's like holding a tv. He's like, yeah, man, I don't know what people were doing. Stealing shit. Looting is bad. That's just like taking advantage. Like, dude, I mean, I'm like, protest whatever you want. Like, I might be in a protest one day too. I don't know about what. But seriously, like, you can protest, but like, don't light cars on fire.
Ken
I don't know if I'm passionate about anything enough to go and protest. Like to stand out on the street and protest, is that making any kind of difference?
Ryan
I know, I feel like it's. This sounds insane, but if you want to make more of a difference, it seems like you could literally get creative and put just as much time and effort into whatever protest you're doing and go on to social media and try to build some sort of a following or create some sort of viral video about your cause impact.
Ken
Much more people sitting there hollering at cars, driving by, like, what is that doing?
CJ
I don't think you. I don't think they're going to convince anybody because I don't. I think people are just setting their ways to begin with.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
But when they look at like, no one's going to be driving and maybe be in the middle of the road, and then they're going to look over and be like, oh, I don't want to be a part of this. Like, it probably does more bad than good for their cause.
Ken
I think a lot of times too, is. Is like, if. If people do feel a certain way, very seldom do they want to connect themselves, like, to crazy, like, left or right wing people, you know, like extremist. It's. It's hard to get behind extremist in any fashion. Right. And so, like extreme sports, I'd say, but like 90% of people are probably like, right within the middle. Right. And then it's like the 5% extremist that are the loudest 5% extremists on both sides. Right.
Ryan
Like, if you rolled into the bar with like 20 of your good buddies and one of them was just belligerent, that kind of like contain your whole.
Ken
Group, like, what would you guys have to go and protest the Cormoran election?
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Mike
We did protest.
Ken
We did protest something.
Ryan
Yeah. Like, I don't know, it was more.
Ken
Sorry that we stand for. For, you know, our community and trying to get it to not fall into corruption.
Ryan
I'd go to like a daylight savings time protest if we. If we don't end this soon.
Ken
Yeah, I could. I can see that.
Ryan
I'd go to that.
Evan
I think it got shut down again in, like, in some upper court. Like, it was like, going to get through. Everyone's like, yeah, you got it. And it got to some random level of the 57 courts, and they were.
Ryan
Like, nah, I think that's the last I heard of it too. So kind of upsetting.
Ken
Who are they trying to protect?
Ryan
I don't know.
Ken
Who's profiting off of Big sale. Yeah, big sale.
Dalton
Big Clock is making all the money.
Ken
Yeah, Big Clock doesn't want it. It was a little while ago at this point, but yeah. Did you guys see my tick bite?
Evan
Oh, yeah. That was the one time you're actually gonna hang out with me when you didn't just want me for my snacks.
Ken
I was gonna hang out with Ryan, but I was just making dinner with Greta and I was just hot or something. I took my shirt off and she was like, what is that? And it was like a bite with a big ring around it. And I was like, I think I have like an ingrown hair. And she was like, that's not an ingrown hair. I was like, maybe a spider bite then or something. She's like, no, that's a tick bite. And I was like, I don't know if it is. And she was like, well, have you been anywhere that has ticks lately? I was like, yeah. Yesterday I pulled three off of my leg. She was like, okay, yeah, it's definitely a tick by then. I, like, look it up and like, it's like, exactly what it says.
Evan
Isn't the ring, like, when you know it's bad too?
Ken
Yeah, I think if it's like, it's got the ring, that's when it could be like a deer tick bite.
Ryan
Oh.
Ken
And that's when, like, if it's a deer tick bite, it could be Lyme's disease and Lyme disease you don't want to. With like, ruins people's lives. And so I was like, oh. So I went in. I was like, trying to call, like, my just doctor to get a prescription written up, but it was like Friday at like 8 o' clock and, like, looking up what I should do. And it was like, go to the ER and get, like, prescribed antibiotics. And I was like, oh, this seems so aggressive to go to the ER for a tick bite. But I was like, I also don't want to get Lyme's disease. So I went into the ER and they were like, what can we do for you? I was like, I have a tick bite. It was like the craziest thing you could go in for.
Ryan
Did you double check with them that that is the only option you had?
Ken
They were like, yeah, we. You know, it's best to get on it, like, asap, because if you, like, you know, wait outside of, like, 72 hours, you know, then it's. It like, gets out of the blood and into your joints and muscles and things like that. So it's like, gets progressively worse and you don't see the signs of. Of a deer tick bite if you have Lyme's disease until, like, months later. And then at that point it can be, like, too late. Wow. Yeah. So it's pretty crazy because, like, I just happened to take my shirt off and Greta saw it, but if, like, Greta hadn't said anything about it, I probably would have never done anything about it. And then just like, gone about, you know, my life. And then in six months, in six months, you know, if I were to have all these problems, be like, oh, yeah, Lyme disease. And I'm a pretty big anti. Antibiotic guy. Like, I fucking hate antibiotics. Try and avoid them at all cost. Antibiotics, like, are really, really bad for you. Like, they destroy your microbiome, and your microbiome is basically what, like, filters out good and bad bacteria, right? So when you take antibiotics, it just, like, it wipes out your system because it kills all the Bad bacteria, but you have good bacteria too, so then you're, like, much more susceptible to, like, getting sick and having, like, other problems. Right. So I. I really, really try and avoid them.
Evan
But also, that's how I knew it was serious when you're like, I'm going in to get an antibiotic. So I was like, oh, damn.
Ken
Yeah. You know, obviously, Lyme's disease is a lot worse.
Evan
I saw that a lot of celebrities have Lyme's disease because they go to the Hamptons, and there is ticks up there.
Ken
I think it's, like, a lot more common than you would think, especially being here. You know, dude, deer ticks are tiny. Yeah. They're easy to miss.
Mike
So it wasn't latched on you, though.
Ken
I never saw it, which is the craziest thing, because we were in the field filming the Teemu Typhoon, getting ran over by our buddy Jason's monster truck walking through the grass, and I was like, oh, there's got to be ticks in here. So when you're just, like, in an environment like that, like, it's, like, guaranteed, right? And so we got in the truck, and I was like, boys, I just pulled a tick off myself. Dalton and cj, Check yourselves for ticks. Right? CJ pulls over, pulls his shirt off. He's. He's checking himself right there on the spot. Right.
Mike
Not around with that.
Ken
And then I got home that night. I, like, took a shower. You know, I'm looking, didn't see anything. And then next day, that showed up.
CJ
Nikki found one in my belly button the other day. Belly button latched in. Yeah. It was just a wood tick, though.
Evan
So it had the big white ball on the end of it.
CJ
No, it wasn't sucking that long. It takes, like, 12 hours and for it to grow forth for him to start getting, like, a pumpkin seed.
Mike
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
CJ
But I have had those.
Mike
It needs to be latched on, like. But, yeah, it's interesting that you had the ring.
Ken
Yeah.
Ryan
I don't know, but maybe it was latched on and then, you know, brushed out.
Mike
We did find one crawling also. Like, after five hours later, we were just about home. I found one on my leg.
CJ
It could be, like, on the inside. He, like, crawling, too.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
Like, you take your shirt off and check you, but it's, like, on your shirt.
Ryan
But have you seen.
CJ
You know what I mean?
Ryan
That, like, bee stings, I think. Is that what doing?
Ken
Yeah.
Ryan
Yeah. So we have a buddy that. That they use bee stings to hopefully treat and eventually get rid of lyme's disease, and it's anywhere from one to five a day. It's like some people go their whole lives without being stung by a bee. And to be intentionally stung by a bee.
Evan
It's funny because I was watching king of the hill, and this was a big fad in the early 2000s was bee sting therapy. So Dale get buys a bunch of bees, and then he, like, breaks his arm, and he goes, he going to go to the doctor. He goes, I'm going to go to 12,000 doctors. And then he gets stung by a bunch of bees, and it doesn't fix his arm and he gets an infection.
Mike
But if it works, it works.
Ken
He texted me, actually, after I posted a story of that, and he was like, 1. Did you find the tick? Was the tick still on there? Cuz if you find the tick and you can pull it off and it's still alive or maybe even dead, you can send it in and they can test for lyme's disease. Oh. But then, two, he was like. He was like, if you weren't to. To catch that and you were to have that. This is what my girlfriend's doing or my fiance right now.
CJ
You got to pay for it.
Ken
It's been helping by the bees.
CJ
Lather yourself up in honey and honey and run through the.
Ken
Oh, no. Yeah, they'd probably do the same job.
Ryan
Yeah, let's just do a hundred things at once.
CJ
Why is Evan running around naked covered in honey?
Ken
Oh, he's got lyme's disease.
Ryan
I thought waffles was coming over.
Mike
I thought about getting some bees. I was talking to Cody about that.
Evan
Really?
Mike
You know, like, I think it'd be fun to have a. Like, a beat. One of those, like, things where they're all swarming around. You put on the suit and, like, you open up the thing and get honey.
CJ
I'll tell you right now, brother, those suits are not fun. Put one on when it's 90 degrees. Put a bee suit on.
Mike
Well, I was thinking I'd put the guard down, put the b things out.
Ryan
By the track, saying, like, just don't do it when it's 90.
Ken
Why are you wearing a bee suit, Evan?
CJ
We had to remove the siding off of a abandoned house, which we found out was completely infested with wasps. And my boss got a quote. Would it be to get an exterminator out there to fumigate the place? So the alternative was go on Amazon and buy a couple beekeeper suits, send Evan out and send. We just worked in beekeeper suits. And it happened to be, like, one of the hottest days of the summer.
Ken
How brutal was that?
CJ
It was horrific.
Dalton
It was horrible.
CJ
It was horrible. It was literally.
Ken
I can't.
CJ
Half hour and then go sit in the van for half hour with the AC on, chug like, four waters, and then go back out.
Ken
So what's a bee suit made out of? Like, how it's got to be thick enough, obviously.
CJ
I want to say the whole suit was pretty much almost felt like a thick canvas.
Ken
Hold on. What were you planning on doing with these bees, cj?
Mike
I just thought it'd be funny just to have some bees and, like, get the honey and, like, it'd be kind of fun. Put in the suit on and, like, dinking around with them.
Ken
I think you should.
Mike
I think I should.
Ken
Yeah.
Mike
When I put it in the middle.
Ken
Of the dirt bike, I was gonna say we got, like, the moto track, and we'll put it, like, a little Corner aside for CJ's bees. Yeah, beekeeper corner.
Ryan
I'd be fine with that. These mind their biz. Like, it's not like.
Ken
They'd just be like, you won't be.
Mike
Able to catch you anyway.
Evan
Except for that one bee in the movie. He stole that guy's girl.
Ryan
That's true.
Dalton
And we get fresh honey, too.
Ryan
What movie was that?
Evan
The B movie.
Mike
I don't know. I just think it'd be fun some talking to Cody about that, like, a month or two ago.
Ken
Sherbrooke. Yeah, Cody at Bees.
Mike
He told me you could give me some.
CJ
See, that's what I just found out about Cody.
Ken
A B plug. Yeah.
Mike
You just need people that know how to get certain things, you know?
CJ
Apparently they have a bunch of bees.
Mike
He said.
CJ
Cody just nonchalantly dropped that on me the other day or a month ago. He's like, yeah, I was just, like.
Ken
Taking care of the bees.
CJ
Like, how many do you got?
Ken
And it was.
CJ
I don't even want to quote the number, but it was an atrociously large number.
Ken
A couple hundred.
CJ
No, like, tens of thousands, I want to say.
Ken
Really?
Evan
That's a lot.
Ken
How do you.
CJ
I don't know.
Ken
Yeah. How's that work, then? Like, do you buy? You buy?
Dalton
I think you gotta buy, like, those.
Ryan
Boxes, and then, like, you're gonna need the boxes. Yeah.
Mike
And also, you could get the honeycomb and eat that.
Ryan
Ah.
Mike
I don't know if honeycomb tastes good. Does it? Like.
Ken
Like, why would you eat the honeycomb?
Ryan
I've seen people eat it.
Mike
It looks pretty sure people eat it and it looks tasty, though.
Evan
It does look tasty.
CJ
They sell it at Walmart. It's right next to the Frosted Flakes and the Fruity Pebbles.
Mike
Put milk Honeycomb.
Ken
I think you should get some.
Evan
Yeah, do it. Siege.
Mike
Well, I just texted Cody again. I said, hey, what's the status on these bees? So, I mean, I'm planning on it. Initially, I didn't say anything. I was gonna just, like, kind of put them out there and just kind of see what happened, but they still in route dog.
Ryan
The first shipment got jammed up by the feds. We'll get another one to you.
Ken
CJ's out there and his little beekeeper. Don't get over here. Don't stand there. But he doesn't. He doesn't get a su.
Mike
Sandals and some tiny little shorts. No shirt, standing behind. Just swatting, bro.
Ken
Keep it steady.
CJ
No, you're not supposed to swat at him, right? That's what they say. You're supposed to remain calm. I've watched enough Jackass with the bees where they always say, don't panic.
Mike
You could probably do some bee stunts after this jump.
Ken
The bees.
Ryan
The.
CJ
The bee Speedo. Remember that one? Yeah, that seems fun.
Ken
Crazy.
Mike
They put honey on his long.
Ryan
David Blaine did it too. You know, there's like, a tradition for people to do, but the way they, like, stack onto each other and then turn into, like, this. It doesn't even look like real.
Ken
Yeah. Are you guys allergic? Anyone? Allergic. I know your mom is. My mom's allergic.
Mike
I think I am.
Ken
She found that out when she was like, 45 times. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My mom was at the lake. I was with her, and I was like a little kid, and she got stung by a bee at the lake, and, like, her throat started to swell up. Ambulance came and everything, like, picked her up and then rushed her into Fargo. It was like, pretty gnarly.
Evan
Wow.
Ken
Didn't know that she was allergic.
Ryan
Allergic.
Ken
What is it? Allergic.
Ryan
Snow T. I do know that, Mike. It's because you said allergic like four times, like a 20 second span.
Ken
Okay.
Ryan
All I know is that if bees weren't here, neither would we be type vibes. I don't know, like pollinator flowers. Yeah, they just make, like, the world go round.
Ken
Which, now that's a protest worth going to. Yeah, like, say the bees.
Ryan
Save the bees.
Evan
Already been a protest.
Ken
Evan's going to put it on. Just found out he's like, a little bee protector.
Ryan
I like that we get a little Facebook group going. Hey, guys. Running a protest this weekend.
Evan
Peanut butter Is not a crime. It's just.
Ken
Bring your dogs.
Ryan
Bring your dogs.
CJ
I'm going to. I'm going to try to figure out how I can put waffles up against Ken in this next.
Ryan
Oh, my goodness. Those are fun.
Dalton
That'd be a. That'd be a great race, I think, dude.
CJ
I think Waffles would take it hands.
Dalton
I think that'd be a genuine, good competitor.
Ryan
Yeah, I agree.
Ken
Clean.
Dalton
Well, not clean, but.
Ken
Dirty.
Ryan
Boys, that peanut butter is sticky.
Evan
Can you imagine if the cormorant mayor race just turns into a real, like, Harlem Globetrotters versus the Generals thing where Ken is just the person that the dog runs again.
Ken
Losing.
Evan
Lose.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ken
Are you getting ready for your next campaign, Ken?
Dalton
Oh, yeah, I'm. I was born ready. I've been training all winter.
Ryan
Rig.
CJ
How do you train?
Dalton
Shaking hands, kissing the babies, the three 12:30 or whatever. Oh, yeah, the. The 12, three 30. Trying that.
Ken
Yeah. He's been walking uphill.
Ryan
He's got the Shoreline Impact Zone as hq.
Ken
We're.
Dalton
We're ready.
Mike
So Alex and I rode on a boat ride last night, and I took a picture of the Shoreline Impact Zone, and I had it queued up with, like, the NFL theme song. And I was about to send it in the group chat, and then I said, I'm not gonna just annoy Ken on.
Ken
Off camera. On a Sunday.
Mike
On a Sunday.
Ken
I got rid of it.
Mike
But it was funny.
Ken
It was just like NFL's greatest hits. Second to the Shoreline Impact Zone.
Mike
You know that there's a house popping up for sale, like, three houses down from Ken. I was like, how funny would be if I bought that house now. I just moved right next to Ken. You just can't get away from me.
CJ
Money bees in your boathouse.
Ken
Yeah. Cj, you could start. You could start your little bee farm at your house.
Mike
Start the bee farm at Ken's.
Evan
That's where the neighbors would draw the freaking line with us. You guys do all these things.
Ken
We're cool.
Evan
Now you have a bunch of bee.
Mike
Farm until you start bringing honey over to everyone. And they're saving money on honey. Because think how much money you probably spend on honey a year.
Ryan
Yeah.
Dalton
At least tens.
Ken
At least 10 bucks.
Ryan
That's my favorite thing. And then whenever you. Whenever you give honey to someone, you have to say this. This will pretty much last you forever.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
Well, yeah, because no one actually eats.
Mike
And it will last forever. Honey doesn't expire. Cody was telling me about it.
Ryan
It's just something that everyone that, like, gives out honey has to say, my.
Dalton
Mom bought, like, a gallon jar of honey, like, back when I was a little kid, and she's still. Yeah, that's crazy rolling through that.
Ken
It's a little.
Mike
I'd maybe just get a new one at that point.
Dalton
Oh, it was like the. The real like.
Evan
All right, honey salesman. There's nothing wrong with that honey.
CJ
He doesn't need to just get a.
Evan
New one, you guys.
Ryan
The shelf life is too damn long.
Ken
So honey never goes bad, huh?
Mike
Big honey needs to get rid of that. That whole narrative.
Ken
Yeah, dude. Big.
Mike
That's why honey sales aren't as big as they used to be.
Ken
Yeah, everyone has honey now, dude. Honey salesmen are just like, God damn stagnant. Big honey.
Evan
That's what Alex's gonna start calling you.
Ryan
That's what Gavin calls his chicks.
Ken
Okay.
Mike
Yeah, I'll keep you guys posted on my beehives stuff. Maybe we'll film it if I get some. Well, I am getting some. I'm just waiting on to get here.
Ryan
So wait on the plug.
Ken
Okay. All right, well, that's a wrap. All right.
Mike
We'Ll see you guys next week.
Ken
Oh, man.
Ryan
Love you guys. Take it easy. Don't let your meat love subscribe.
