Transcript

[Ryan]

81 years old and we brought him to Vegas, and, boy, did we have a good time.

[Ben]

Well, you can't put a brick on the gas. It's not going to go anywhere.

[CJ]

Ev, you're on a diet.

[Ryan]

No, it's a good thing that you know how to fall and crash.

[Ben]

Yeah, that could have been Ryan.

[CJ]

The world's really hard when you're dumb, especially when you're friends with you.

[Ben]

But that's where we were committed. We were either going to double this money or lose the money.

[CJ]

Ev, you're on a diet. No, I've been hearing around town, there's, like, murmuring. I ate.

[Evan]

I ate chicken.

[Ryan]

One day.

[Evan]

I saw you eating fruit.

[Ryan]

Carrots is what threw me off.

[Evan]

Carrots are good. Carrots all the time, bro.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's still the a.m. evan's just finishing off a full pack of carrots.

[Evan]

That's the thing. I ate, like, a handful of carrots. It wasn't even a whole bag.

[Ben]

I don't know. Multiple people have seen the way you've been eating today, and without even talking about it to each other, all have just concluded that you're on a diet. Alex just came up to me. My girlfriend's helping cleaning the shop. She goes, it's Evan on a diet. I go, I don't know. Well, I saw him eating carrots and chicken today. I must be.

[Ryan]

Everyone's concerned about you. It was after this photo started going around. Oh, dude, I love.

[CJ]

Somebody asked, is that Photoshopped? And we go, no. Ben and I just found it at like 3am reading photos, and we burst out laughing.

[Ryan]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[CJ]

But do you feel better?

[Ryan]

He had half a bag of carrots.

[Ben]

And a chicken breast.

[CJ]

I mean, it's a good start.

[Evan]

Like a whole new man.

[Ryan]

Ryan, that's like saying, can you fill up a lake with one water bottle at a time? Like the equivalent of like, a couple carrots in Evan's body?

[Ben]

Yep.

[Mike]

Did you.

[CJ]

Did you just decide to take care of yourself after you annihilated the outside of your body on a hard object?

[Evan]

Yeah, that. That did suck. And I was pretty sore, so putting some good stuff in to, like, help my body recover is probably, like, a good idea.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

A couple carrots and a chicken. That'll should get me on the right path. Yeah.

[Ryan]

How you doing after that?

[Evan]

I think super good, honestly. It's been what, like five days? And I'm sore a little bit.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Evan]

But each day got better. Like the day after. Extremely sore.

[CJ]

I saw you in the morning. I Go have. How you feeling? He goes, like, I got hit by a truck. Oh, pretty much.

[Mike]

You were walking around like you got hit by a truck.

[Evan]

Yeah. It was like, never any intense pain in any one area. It was just all over sore.

[Ryan]

Where's your hurt?

[Ben]

All over everywhere.

[CJ]

After you crashed and you threw the, like. You know, trying to get air in your lungs with getting the wind knocked out of you is one of the worst things. But you just go, my insides.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

And I felt scared. I was very scared.

[Ben]

Exactly that.

[CJ]

There was internal injury, but now, after it has been proven that a couple carrots healed you, it's pretty funny for you to just rattle off my insides.

[Ben]

I was worried you, like, exploded an organ or something. I was like, oh, boy, here we go. We got to go in.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And then you just were okay. I was like, thank God.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Evan]

I was just, like, literally trying to get my air back. And then when I did, it just, like. It was almost just, like, numb. I don't know, probably from sliding in the cold water, too, but it, like, felt like my insides are all warm and they ached, but turned out to be nothing, man.

[Ryan]

Dude, it's a good thing that you know how to fall and crash, you know?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

That could have been Ryan. He was the one who was initially going to go across.

[CJ]

My head would have been chopped clean off. I mean, I could have done that.

[Evan]

I'd like to take credit for knowing how to fall. Dude, I hit the ice before I even knew I was going down.

[Mike]

I don't.

[Evan]

I got lucky. I put lucky on that one.

[Ben]

When I watch, I feel like you. You did. You felt as good as possible. Like. Like you, like, dove towards the ice, got above the ice shelf.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

The whole reason we were standing right there was because we were evaluating the ice, and Ryan was going to ride his quad across, and then we. Yeah, I don't think we should do it. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's not worth trying to get the bike out of there if it does sink. And all this, like, no need to make this video any more expensive. And then I just hear, look out at you. And then you start going across. And then.

[Evan]

Yeah, that's exactly it. I heard you guys talking about not doing it. I'm like, well, we gotta do it. I'll just go do it.

[CJ]

The bummer was it didn't even, like you said, look that cool because it wasn't hard.

[Ryan]

You couldn't tell because he wasn't supposed to go into the water.

[CJ]

Well, yeah, that part, obviously.

[Mike]

Yeah, it Was tough. So Evan's whole run up to that was he was riding over floating chunks of ice, but you can see the.

[CJ]

One rotates a bit.

[Mike]

You couldn't really tell. But my favorite part was when you. You show. Evan shows me this video, classic Instagram video, of people just getting wrecked, you know, falling on skateboards, bikes breaking their arms, falling out of cars. And then I'm like, okay, yeah, this is gnarly, dude. And then his clip comes up. I'm like, oh, you made it into one of those, like, Crash compilations.

[Ben]

One other thing that happened before that. So we're getting ready to go out film that day, and I don't know why it came up, but you were talking about. Have you ever seen that clip when Travis Pastrano was in, like, where were they? Like, Brazil, and he tried water skipping the pool, and he pretty much did the exact same thing as you.

[Evan]

You don't want to be water skipping with, like, a 90 degree. Not good.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's generally a bad idea.

[Ben]

And then it ended up happening, like, an hour and a half later.

[Mike]

Oh, you were talking about it before.

[CJ]

Before, dude. I was like, I think you crashed at the perfect speed. If you've been going faster, you would have hit higher and could have, like, you know, really, like, flipped over the bars or, like, you know, something else bad could have happened. And if you'd slowed down, you would have hit higher on your body and been, like, underneath the ice. So it is pretty crazy that by not reacting and doing anything, you hit at the perfect speed. If you watch it play by play that you hit and then you rotate up over the ice, almost cantilevering your energy off of it. Science. Yeah. You're like a cat, dude. It's crazy.

[Evan]

Get lucky once in a while.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I'm glad you're okay. That was gnarly.

[Mike]

Glad you're okay, brother.

[CJ]

So what'd you do this weekend? We. Me, C.J. and Ben were gone. But what were you two jabronis up to?

[Mike]

I was. I was freaking because you said you.

[CJ]

Were staying back and you were supposed to get your Jet Ski Winter eyes. I didn't see that happen.

[Mike]

No, I know. I was funny.

[Ryan]

I was walking. You said you were gonna get appointments done and winterize your stuff.

[Mike]

I didn't. I walked past the Jet Ski so many times, and I was like, I never winterized it.

[Ben]

But you were babysitting, you said.

[Mike]

Yeah, on Friday. Yeah, well, Sydney nannies and they. They had a Christmas party, so she's watching the kids and I'm there And then it was just funny because the kids were already in bed. I wasn't doing anything. And she felt fell asleep because I was like, yeah, you can fall asleep. And then they came home and they're like, oh, look who it is. Your babysitter, Mike. I didn't do it.

[Ben]

Had to be concerning for them. Yeah, the man in the house.

[CJ]

We should have came home earlier.

[Mike]

No, I mean, they were like, after the kids go to bed, you can have a couple beers.

[Ryan]

Now they're letting you drink on the job.

[Mike]

It was. It was good, but, yeah, not quite to the caliber of what you got. Whatever you guys were doing, I was living vicariously.

[CJ]

Man, we needed a babysitter. This weekend is what we need.

[Ryan]

That's what Grandparon came with for.

[Ben]

Was he babysitting us or are we babysitting him?

[Mike]

Be real. Who was babysitting who?

[Ben]

Nobody was babysitting anyone.

[CJ]

Anyone.

[Ben]

We were just running around, just. There's like a competition between who could be the bigger degenerate.

[CJ]

In fact, I said in the airport, since Evan and Mike aren't here, I think I'll take the role as lead degenerate.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Somebody had to do it. I took it with pride. I don't know if I lived up to the expectation, but I tried.

[Mike]

Yeah, you tried.

[Ben]

Yeah, we.

[Ryan]

So we brought me and CJ's grandpa Ron.

[Ben]

You guys have seen him in the videos.

[Ryan]

81 years old, and we brought him to Vegas, and we went there because it's always been one of our dreams to go to a Vikings game with our grandpa. Like, ever since me and C.J. were little kids, we just grew up watching the Vikings games with Grandpa Ron.

[Ben]

And he's a major, major Vikings fan.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Lifelong huge fan. He's been disappointed so many times.

[CJ]

So.

[Ryan]

So we always said, oh, it'd be so fun to go to, like, an actual game in person together with him. And then when this one popped up in Vegas, you guys know we love Vegas and Grandpa Ron loves Vegas. And we were like, wow, this is a great opportunity. So we went to Vegas, and, boy, did we have a good time. Dude, obviously, like, he's 80 years old. We should probably maybe go easy, maybe not stay out that late, not do a ton of walking because, you know, you're just constantly on the move. Dude, he put us to bed.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, every single night. Like, he was like, oh, you guys.

[Ben]

Are going to bed? Yeah. And then he'd get up before us, too.

[CJ]

That was his thing, too.

[Ben]

He's up at 6am and, like, I was trying to give him, like, the way out. Like, when we first, I was like, yeah, I'm pretty tired. Like, maybe we should just go to bed early just so we can, like, all have a, you know, full energy tomorrow to really hit it hard. Going to bed. Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah, we landed at midnight.

[Mike]

I was just gonna say you guys probably landed.

[Ben]

Yeah, we landed at.

[Mike]

But I do.

[Ben]

12:00 clock Vegas time, which would have been 2:00am Our time from where we came. And our grandpa then wanted to stay out another two hours.

[CJ]

He pretty much just seemed to draw the line at Taco Bell.

[Ben]

Yeah, he didn't. He's like, all right, let's go home.

[CJ]

And he dragged us around that town, showed us how to do it. Not that we really needed any advice.

[Ryan]

Dude. It was like the blind leading the blind. It was the blind. It was for our entire lives. Like, the family just thinks of Grandpa Ron as, like, the card player, gambler. Like.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And he's always wheeling and dealing. Right. So we've always thought that, you know, he knew a thing or two about playing cards and gambling. Right.

[Ben]

He does it a lot.

[Ryan]

I don't think he's any better at it than we are.

[Mike]

And we're.

[Ryan]

We're really bad.

[CJ]

Every person I talk to that sounds like they actually win in Vegas. Not us. But yeah.

[Ryan]

It was so funny. We were sitting there. We were sitting there and he was losing money, and we were losing money. I was like, well, I see where we get it from, huh, Grandpa? Damn it.

[Ben]

But we straightened it out. We straightened it out at the end.

[CJ]

We did. We put some money on the most boring Vikings game in the history of the world.

[Ben]

Yeah. We had five grand down on them winning by more than three points. And they did not win by three points. They pushed. They got three points. So we got our money back. Thank God. But they. They could have kicked that field goal at the very end and we would have. We would have won.

[CJ]

That was, I think, the nail in the coffin for me on being a Vikings fan. That was such a dick move of them. They could have just kicked the freaking field goals. Like a 28 yard field goal. And then they were like, just kidding. Let Squib kick it. And then they almost scored a touchdown on the return of that. So, like, it was bad. It was a bad move.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Keep in mind, they didn't score those three points until about whatever, like, three minutes left of the game.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And I was watching it back at home, and I couldn't help but laugh. Just zero score. Zero to zero. First score, second and I'm like, dude, the boys are just wanting a good time here. They're at the game, they paid a lot of money for the tickets.

[Ryan]

It was the lowest scoring game in NFL history since 2007.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Ben]

I mean, it couldn't be any lower scoring unless they got a safety. Yeah, but so we go walking out of there, we're like, well, I guess at least we got our money back. And then Ben and I kind of just like, bummed because we were filming this for a video too. Like, we were committed. We were either going to double this money or lose the money.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And we're like, well, red kind of is our color. Fuck it, let's go put five grand on red. So we, like, anticipate this. We tell everyone what we're doing. And, you know, this is probably, what, 5 o'. Clock? We're like, okay, yeah, let's go, like, get a good meal in us. Like, you know, we.

[Ryan]

We, like, we took our time.

[Ben]

We went to one because we were looking at the tables and we looked at another one. I feel like I was kind of like the one snooping it out. Yeah. All I was doing was going. And for one, you had to find a table that would let you 5k, so you had to go in the high limit rooms. But then I was just looking at if they were rolling reds or if they were doing every other. And that table that we saw that it had like six or seven reds in a row. So I was like, I don't know. I feel like red's hot here. Not that that meant anything just thinking about it.

[CJ]

C.J.

[Ryan]

Kept saying that, and he goes, I don't know. I think we need a table that's hot on red. I'm like, bro, it's 50.

[Mike]

50.

[Ben]

Yeah. But I feel like they just reoccur. Like, I don't know, man. I. I guess. And it worked, though.

[Mike]

It worked.

[Ryan]

It did.

[Mike]

I'm showing you guys doing all this research, going around and then being like, what is our second favorite color? It's black.

[CJ]

It was so fun. We walked in there and the high limit rooms all fired up. You know, everybody in there is betting big money. So we come in and we throw ours down. This guy, this random guy just kind of heard what we were doing and just followed us.

[Ben]

Kind of had a little bit of like. Like, posse.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Like, they were rolling around with us as we were checking because they heard we were about to do it. And then, you know, grandpa was making friends, talking to everybody. Well, he was telling everyone he's like, yeah, they're gonna put five grand on. They're nuts. They're nuts. They got. You see, they got this YouTube channel called C Boys. It's the best. But.

[Ryan]

But anyways, Andy's wearing a grandparents.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So Everywhere we went, C.J. and him were both wearing grandparents. It was funny.

[Ben]

Yeah. It looked like a family vacation.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

When we were walking in there to the table and we finally decided on a table, we're putting it down. CJ looks over and goes, oh, should we do black? I go, no. I don't remember doing that.

[Ben]

Maybe.

[Ryan]

Are you fucking serious, dude? We just spent the last four hours trying to find this table that's hot on red, and now you're asking if we should do black. It was.

[CJ]

There was a sweat.

[Ben]

Dude, it was. I couldn't look when it started spinning because I was like, oh, my God. And then.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[Ben]

And it hit. It just was electric.

[Ryan]

So electric. Yeah.

[CJ]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ryan]

Ryan just about got his ass beat by the. They were like, the casino.

[Ben]

You can't film the whole time. I've been like, before, it was spinning.

[CJ]

Sick about like that ending shot and getting that. Cuz how important it was. And the guy was coming around the table, coming to me like, stop, stop. You'll hear it in the video is him yelling. And then I kind of like move my hand to move it out in the way of him because he's coming towards me, like to grab me, and I move it. And then I hit the record button on my phone. So I had to go like this. And then I hit it again and we just like ran out of the room. And he was like following, standing, looking at us.

[Ryan]

They were pretty.

[Ben]

Well, we just robbed him of 5K. And then we just got away with filming the whole thing.

[CJ]

Dude. I was waiting for them to be like, he's got a magnet in his pocket. Like, they mess with it and like void our money. That's probably something those assholes would do. You know, they lose a little bit of money and then they try to get it back.

[Ben]

Yeah. You never know.

[Ryan]

I was nervous, dude, Grandpa Ron was trying to bodyguard you too.

[CJ]

He was?

[Ben]

Yeah, he was getting away.

[Ryan]

He was like a blocker.

[Ben]

81 years old. He's going to get in the way of this. This guy that's going after Ryan.

[CJ]

Yeah, but just like fakes a injury or something like that to distract him.

[Ben]

So that was a big win, though. We were pretty pumped by the time we did that. It was 12:30, so we had been anticipating it for roughly six, seven hours. Of, like, being ready for this moment, you know? So it felt great. Especially it put us back to even.

[Ryan]

Put us back to even. Can't complain about that.

[Ben]

Which was great.

[Evan]

Then what number was it?

[Ryan]

Like, Red 26.

[Ben]

Red 26.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I think there's a lot of happiness there. But I will say I was much more happy when we just got to our seats with Grandparon. We had the best seats. I just looked at Grandpa. I'll give you the video. But, like, he was, like, he was so happy. I've never seen him so happy before. He's just clapping and like, yeah, I. I have not felt that much joy in a while. I think, like, that might have been the most joy I can at least remember experiencing in a long time. I was so happy because he was so happy. And I look at Ben, and Ben just looks at me like, you're over there, Ryan.

[CJ]

I was an adopted.

[Ryan]

Ryan got adopted. And, man, did we make up for all the missed years of not having you a part of the family and just bullying Ryan's ass.

[Ben]

Like, well, it's tough when you got grandpa on around. Someone's going to be getting. I mean, everyone's getting there. Getting shit talked to.

[CJ]

Yeah, dude.

[Ryan]

We had to tell grandpa to step off him a couple times. You know, he's just chirping.

[Evan]

You did?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So, yeah.

[Ryan]

Kept bringing up that Ryan voted for Hillary. We were like, you got to go easy on him.

[Mike]

So you got induced into, you know.

[Ryan]

I don't want you. I don't want you to get bullied by the subs.

[CJ]

No.

[Ben]

There was this one line where Grandpa, someone said something about Ryan being dumb. And before that, we were playing blackjack and Ryan was being slow with, like, counting how much he had.

[CJ]

So he had, like, if I had.

[Ben]

He had 10 and a three and. And it took him a while to add 10 plus three. And grandpa just chimed in out of nowhere when we were eating like an hour later. Yeah, no shit. He's dumb. Guy didn't know how to add 10 plus 3. Like a hard line.

[Ryan]

I think he even drug his education and too. He couldn't believe that Ryan went to a private school. Tough out there, dude.

[CJ]

It's tough being stupid. The world's really hard when you're dumb.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Especially when you're friends with.

[Ben]

But that's what it was like growing up is like, you just. With all your cousins and like, I mean, you were dishing it out, but you were taking it at the same time.

[CJ]

Yeah. Like, the statement of the apple doesn't fall Far from the truth. Tree, bro. I was hanging out with the tree this weekend. It was like. It was crazy.

[Mike]

Okay, so grandpa took you into the family. That was nice of him.

[CJ]

I did get.

[Mike]

He's razzing you a little bit.

[Ben]

He did say.

[Mike]

So you got accepted. And what does that make Ken? Because I'm pretty sure he was there.

[Ryan]

No, Ken wasn't with us.

[CJ]

Ken only came and hung out with us when there was a meal involved. We said, hey, Ken, we need. Let's go to dinner. And he'd be like, all right, I'll meet you there. And then he'd leave immediately afterwards.

[Ryan]

Very suspicious.

[Mike]

First of all, Ken did plan this tr. Before anyone planned it.

[CJ]

He.

[Mike]

He bought a ticket to the game.

[Ben]

It was a vacation.

[Mike]

And there's some other.

[Ben]

Other friends.

[Mike]

Friends from the area that were going. So I don't. Honestly, I don't blame him for, like, going with them at all.

[Ryan]

No, I don't. I don't blame him for that, and.

[Mike]

I don't blame him for hanging out with them. But it is insane that he was, like, treating you guys like. Like some distant homies that he was okay to maybe grab supper with.

[Ryan]

Well, we were hanging out with his friends, and he wasn't even with us.

[CJ]

Yeah, we spent all night with one of them.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So we were like, like, where is this guy?

[Ben]

There was that cowboy convention in town.

[CJ]

The rodeo. Rodeo.

[Mike]

Pbr.

[Ben]

I mean, he's kind of a cowboy.

[CJ]

Picking up buckle bunnies.

[Ryan]

Yeah. He might have been looking for a barrel racer. If he. If he was.

[Ben]

I don't.

[Ryan]

You know, either way, I understand. You know, this is Ken's vacation, and he wanted to keep it far away from us. So just the fact that we were in the same town was kind of ruined his vacation.

[Ben]

Can we talk about when we first got there? And we were checking in, though? So. So we were standing there because we were waiting for Ben's brother to come and surprise grandpa, which grandpa didn't know he was coming. So we're just, like, killing time. We're kind of standing there, and this, like, dude and a girlfriend. And the dude's girlfriend, he clearly was there for the rodeo, comes up, and the way he was like, hey, what's up? And you were like, what's up, dude? I thought that you knew him personally, Ben. But anyways, so this guy comes up. Turns out he's a sub. Turns out he's a sub. And, like, they're chatting, and this guy's got his girlfriend with. And Ben goes, oh, you guys in town? For the rodeo. And they're like, yeah, yeah. And Ben goes, oh, perfect. Yeah. Ken's looking for a barrel racer this weekend or something like that. And then Ben. And then Ken just looks at this guy's girlfriend and just goes, what's your ig?

[Ryan]

Right in front of the sub.

[Ben]

It was asked her and she's like. And like we, dude, I'm in the background like this. I go, oh, I had to walk away. It was tough.

[Ryan]

I go, I'm really sorry about him. I go, ever since his speed dating, this dude has been.

[Ben]

He's an animal.

[Ryan]

Just weirdly savage with the women.

[Ben]

At least he was direct, man.

[Ryan]

I think he understood too. It was like something. Something weird about like these subscribers and their girlfriends being okay with Ken.

[Ben]

Yeah, the guy wasn't even mad. Like, I feel if for one, none of us would do that because we have a girlfriend, but if one of us did do that, they would probably not take it as lightly like, Ken can get away.

[Ryan]

It was like almost like kind of cocky, like the guy who was kind of into it.

[Ben]

I don't know if it was that. Just a lot more chill with it. He just laughed.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that was. That was out of pocket, though. We actually had to have a word with Ken after that.

[Ben]

You can't just do that, dude.

[CJ]

It was a good thing that Ken and Grandparon weren't together. You never know what would come of those two's mouth.

[Ben]

That's true. Yeah. Ryan, you were like freaking walking away.

[CJ]

There was quite a few times. It was tough too, because I was the filmer. So I'm like, I have to stay close, dude.

[Ryan]

Right?

[Ben]

So uncomfortable. Yeah, dude, he was so uncomfortable. And grandpa's just yelling like, just saying stuff that shouldn't be said in general.

[CJ]

Yeah. That only an 81 year old would say at times.

[Ryan]

Dude.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

These street performers, they're out here just trying to make a dollar, right? And grandpa Ron is treating them like they're like zoo animals.

[Ben]

Come on, Grandpa.

[Ryan]

Like, dude, he was being savage with.

[Ben]

Some of the stuff.

[Ryan]

He would say it was awesome though. What the.

[CJ]

It was awesome.

[Mike]

I love that. He's like, well, they're just performers. They're not. They're not real people.

[Ben]

That's not what he was bullshitting with them.

[CJ]

Yeah, they were. They were laughing back too. They understood. But actually, I think probably the most embarrassed I was was in the morning before the Vikings game, we had tried to get an uber for about 45 minutes. Couldn't and had to walk 4 miles to the stadium. And I don't think Ben passed a single person in a Raiders jersey without going, hey, man, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what's about to happen.

[Ben]

And he was talking. I had to tell him, like, dude, have you not seen all the videos of people getting in fights against other teams at NFL games? I told him when we got on the st. I'm like, listen, dude, you can't be doing that.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

When we're like, we're gonna get in a fight.

[Ryan]

Grandpa said someone will punch you.

[Ben]

Yeah, I know, but grandpa would have want. We're like, I just don't want to see this happen. This is a great day.

[CJ]

Well, because you're normally.

[Ryan]

Thankfully, we didn't have to deal with that.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Thank God. Where we were sitting. Where we were sitting. It was some pretty classy people.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

All Vikings fans.

[Ryan]

Yeah. There was more Vikings fans at an away game than there were Raiders fans.

[Ben]

Yeah. That's got to be Las Vegas's, like, game plan with, like, doing this stadium. Yeah. I mean, it's just like every home game, you probably have just whoever you're playing, fan base, come to Vegas, gamble, hang out, go to the game. Because it just makes another reason to go there, you know?

[CJ]

Yeah. Because, I mean, where do you want to travel? Cincinnati or frickin.

[Ryan]

There's, you know, those are our people there walking around. That's why I wasn't too worried about it.

[Mike]

A lot of Minnesota people around.

[Ryan]

Oh. There's just. I feel like anyone, even if you live in Vegas, like, you're kind of like, you know, an apple off the same tree. So I wasn't too worried about it.

[Mike]

That's true. They can't have this. Like, I shouldn't say, like, they can't have what we have, you know, being Vikings fans, like, being sad all our lives. But.

[CJ]

But.

[Mike]

But the Las Vegas Raiders weren't always the Las Vegas Raiders, not for very long. So, like, they don't have that. The roots.

[CJ]

That's true.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They have not all heard as long.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

And they have a stupid slogan. Just.

[Ryan]

Just win, baby.

[Ben]

Slogan.

[Ryan]

What should we do? How can we hype people up? How can we hype people up?

[Mike]

What.

[Ryan]

What about just win, baby? Okay. Is there literally anything else? And nobody spoke up and said anything. Pretty sure.

[Ben]

Well, we got to close this meeting down. Five minutes, so let's call it.

[Mike]

Evan was saying in his head when he's going across the ice, just win, baby.

[CJ]

Just win, baby.

[Mike]

Didn't work out.

[Evan]

I lost.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

That was a stupid slogan. And we have Skull, I Mean, I know people are pretty protective over that, but it's kind of an odd word.

[Ben]

Anyways, anyways, Anyways.

[CJ]

One thing I did learn in Vegas, though, is when I'm really hungover, my internal dialogue turns off. Like, you guys have that where you, like, talk to yourself in your brain as you're walking around. You guys all have that? Yeah, I think I saw an Instagram thing that like, 40 of people don't have an internal dialogue, which is really weird.

[Mike]

Seems insane.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[CJ]

What do those people do?

[Ben]

You're just saying, like, your brain works, not thinking.

[Evan]

No, it's on auto. In autopilot mode.

[CJ]

Yeah. Like, when you're walking around, are you having conversations with yourself in your head?

[Ryan]

Just thinking.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why it's hard to like. It is hard for me to even believe that. Cuz, like, you have a point there. It is just thinking, but it's.

[CJ]

Yeah, you're like, talking to yourself. Or like, all right, maybe you are sitting in the skid steering. You're like, all right, I gotta move this over there. And then you're thinking about like, okay, well, if I do it this way, it'll work faster. Like, you're trying to form a plan. You're right. It's thinking, but you're talking with yourself. It's the talking about yourself. Not just like, I go there.

[Mike]

But yeah, when you're. Wait, when you're hungover, it is just. I go there, it turns off. I eat this, I. I lay down.

[CJ]

I. I was walking around and I realized that I hadn't talked to myself in hours. And it was so peaceful. I was like, man, I'm better when I'm not talking to myself. You just, like, are just trying to survive, dude. And there's something beautiful about that. So I think I'm going to. Might try shutting off my internal dialogue.

[Ben]

It's got to be hungover more.

[CJ]

Yeah, I don't know if I can do that. It sounds miserable.

[Ben]

Yeah. I'm going on a health kick this week, dude.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

After this, I'm going. Yeah. I'm trying to be like, evan, eat.

[Ryan]

More carrots in the gym.

[Ben]

I'm getting a good meal in me. I'm going to sauna. I'd like to do a cold plunge, but we don't have a tub. Ordered one, though.

[CJ]

Go jump in the lake.

[Mike]

No excuses. Yeah, jumping.

[Ben]

I gotta go get a chainsaw.

[Mike]

True.

[Evan]

I'll take care of the hole. If you want one, Evan will go.

[Ryan]

Find one for you.

[Ben]

There's something worse about jumping in the lake, though.

[CJ]

It's just like, well, the water's moving that you gotta drive there.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's.

[Ben]

And it's like. It's just much harder. It is much harder hopping in there than hopping. Just a little manufactured tub pool. Yeah, a little pool with some ice cubes floating around it.

[Evan]

You could roll around in the snow.

[Ben]

I don't know if that's the same. I think you get like burns from that. If you were naked.

[Ryan]

I don't want to be anywhere near wherever CJ.

[CJ]

You imagine you see CJ rolling around in the snow bank naked.

[Ryan]

Well, I'm actually a little more concerned that Evan had the idea.

[Evan]

I'm starting to think if you came out of the sauna and you rolled in the snow, it'd stick to you. You'd stand up a snowman.

[Ben]

You could try it after this.

[CJ]

You ever do that in. In the hot tub when you're kids?

[Evan]

Yeah, just like jump in the snow.

[CJ]

Yeah, snow when you like try to run around. We used to do that all the time.

[Evan]

And sometimes the snow was hard. It was soft the other day. And now it's hard.

[CJ]

Hard.

[Evan]

And you just face plants getting your knees up.

[CJ]

What you guys used to do as kids, keep yourself entertained. My favorite thing to do is build snow forts.

[Ben]

Built some pretty crazy snow forts.

[CJ]

You were a snow fork kid.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[CJ]

And you build like a whole.

[Mike]

Oh yeah.

[CJ]

Runway or like jump.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[CJ]

Roof maybe.

[Mike]

Talked about it on here. But yeah, like each winter we would build like a crazy roll in for snowboarding. So one time we went to my. I was at always at the same buddy's house, which his parents hated.

[Ben]

Yeah. Up on their roof. You know how bad that is for the shingles and stuff.

[Mike]

Ladder up to the roof? I mean.

[CJ]

Yeah, I think.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[CJ]

Is it bad for the shingles or is that just what your parents tell you? So you don't play on the road?

[Evan]

Yeah, we depends if you're scraping.

[Mike]

We did no damage to the shing.

[Ryan]

You're skateboarding. I think it is.

[Ben]

I think it is. Damn. It's hard on the shoe. It's not necessarily. You don't want a bunch of traffic.

[Mike]

Yeah. The only thing that would have been.

[Ryan]

Hard, I think Big shingle has been manufacturing, planting these ideas.

[CJ]

The ladder companies hate him.

[Mike]

Yeah, I do remember doing that. We built this big rolling off the garage and it was sick. And then the next year, which we even had less snow. So we went around. We had a lawnmower and a two place snowmobile trailer. And we went all around town picking up their snow piles to build this 20 foot roll in for our snowboard jump.

[CJ]

Oh yeah.

[Ryan]

Weren't you on the news?

[Mike]

We made on the news.

[Ryan]

Were you the talker?

[Mike]

I was like, I'll talk. And it was the same vibe as. As what would happen today.

[Ryan]

It's the same exact. Oh my God.

[Mike]

What do you mean?

[Ryan]

Oh my gosh.

[Mike]

I would talk and you guys would be snickering in the background and I get done and then you'd be like, bro, you said why? You say. And then you guys would laugh and give me a hard time. Then we wait for it to come out on the news and then you do it all over again. But yeah, and then after, shortly after that, I forget what it was the same day. But the.

[CJ]

The.

[Mike]

My friend who. It was his parents house, he got all he had. He's a little bit of hot head and he got really upset and destroyed the whole run in.

[Ben]

Why your news interview?

[Mike]

But it was something like we couldn't agree on something and he like destroyed it. And he's like my house. And we're all like no, we worked so hard, dude. He's like, I don't care.

[Ryan]

Damn.

[Ben]

And then what that you just went home?

[Mike]

That was the end of it.

[Ben]

Are you guys friends after that or. No? Yeah, that kind of final straw.

[Mike]

We were still friends, but we're like, man, dude, you gotta get that anger under control.

[CJ]

I didn't find it, but I found this article that's written about you. So Seaboys tv. The C stands for chaos.

[Evan]

What?

[CJ]

Your cousin.

[Mike]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

She wrote a whole thing and I.

[Ben]

Think she would at least know that the C stands for cormorant.

[Mike]

Stands for chaos. Yeah, I love that. She's just trying to make a fun play on words.

[CJ]

But I thought it was fake, honestly. Because he said Sandman. Also says he a Taylor Swift fan and his favorite song is Cardigan. Okay.

[Mike]

She tw. Wow. She twisted my words up there like a true journalist.

[Ryan]

Would you have Ken help me out with this article?

[Mike]

I remember her asking me that goes none of my class thinks that you like Taylor Swift. What's your favorite Taylor Swift song? So I just said that, but that didn't mean that I. I'm a big swifty.

[Ben]

Nice. Is he coming? Dead on.

[Mike]

Big.

[Ryan]

Kenny.

[CJ]

What's up dude? We were wondering if you'd show up to this podcast.

[Ken]

Yeah, it looks like you've been going for a real long time.

[CJ]

We have been Going for a real long time. We've been missing you, though. How was your vacation? We talked about our vacation, but we also talked about how you weren't with us. So we just want to quickly ask how you.

[Ken]

I mean, I was with you briefly.

[CJ]

But only when there was a free dinner involved.

[Ken]

I had a good vacation, you know, I. I was down some money bad. And then ran it back.

[Ryan]

You did?

[Ken]

I got to even.

[Ben]

Nice.

[CJ]

Good job, Kenny. So proud of you. So anyway, Mike, you were a snowboarder kid.

[Mike]

Yep. I. And I was just like, little side note, I remember some moms like, oh, yeah, the kids played outside for three hours today, like three hours straight. And I was just like, whoa, that's. That's a long time. And then I started thinking. I was like, for one, no, it's not for two. We still do that. We like, you know, spend six, seven hours outside. And then I was thinking back to when I was a kid. I was like, wait, no, you put your snowsuit on.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You get dialed.

[Mike]

I would do.

[Ryan]

Put in a shift.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

This would make you guys laugh. I'll do weird shit. Like, when I got my snowsuit on and stuff, I would go outside and like, play whatever, build forts. And if I had to poop, I would just hold it because I didn't want to go inside. I was having so much fun.

[CJ]

For sure. I mean, it's tough to get off the snowsuit when you're a kid.

[Evan]

I thought for sure you were going to say I was just shit my pants.

[Ryan]

That's what I thought, too.

[Mike]

That never happened. But, yeah, I held it, like, sometimes, like, unhealthily long just so I could stay outside and keep playing.

[Ryan]

Dude, one time I was. I was skiing. I was like a little kid, and I didn't want to go inside when I was skiing, so I just. I just pissed my pants.

[Ben]

Really?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Rental boots?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

All.

[Ben]

All day?

[Ryan]

Yeah. What? I mean, I was like a little kid.

[Mike]

Like a little. Little.

[Ben]

You just pissed your pants?

[Ryan]

It was like, how little could you have been?

[CJ]

15?

[Ryan]

I don't know. Probably like four or five.

[Ben]

No way.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Did you still have diapers?

[Ryan]

No, I just didn't want to go inside, I guess.

[Ben]

You were skiing at 4 or 5 and you were just pissing your pants all day.

[Ken]

What did your parents say when you took your clothes off and you're just drenched and pissed?

[Ryan]

I think they're trying to figure out what was going on.

[CJ]

They were like, did you hit your head today? Okay. Probably. Damn.

[Ryan]

I kind of just outed myself there.

[CJ]

You had to be older than that.

[Mike]

But shortly after 7 or 10.

[CJ]

That's pretty wild, though. So you were.

[Ryan]

You were skiing at a resort or. I don't know, that seems.

[Ben]

Yeah. Well, no, now I think about it, I might have been one of it. Makes him feel better. Yeah.

[CJ]

How big is a four year old?

[Ryan]

No, I don't know. I. I don't know how old I was. I was pretty young.

[CJ]

I know that. And they were rental boots. You just returned them.

[Mike]

Yeah, I remember, like, here, like, hearing a friend that was like, yeah, like, I. My pants and it went down into my shoe and he showed me his shoes and it had stains on it. I go, yeah, like, how. How is your poop gonna get into your shoe? I was like, actually, though, like, you pooped your pants and now it's in your shoes. He's like, dude, it goes down your leg. Was it like runny? He's like, I don't know. It just ended up in my shoe. And I was like, there's no way that's possible. But, like, obviously it's gotta put him.

[CJ]

By the stain, the fact that he.

[Ken]

Kept those shoes too.

[CJ]

I know.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

That was his name.

[CJ]

Poop stain.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, that was.

[Ryan]

That would make so much more sense why you had a friend named Poop Stink Corbin. It would.

[Mike]

But Poop St. Corbin, as far as I know, never even pooped himself.

[CJ]

Oh, stolen valor.

[Ben]

He should have.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. Own up to the. As far as I know, he also did not like that name.

[Ben]

He probably did everything in his power to not himself.

[CJ]

What else you guys used to do as kids? Give me some kid entertainment.

[Evan]

PlayStation 2, PlayStation 1.

[Ben]

Evan's older.

[CJ]

I'd never had a PlayStation.

[Ben]

So you played Wii, Ryan?

[CJ]

We were. We were a Wii family. Like, instead of an Xbox, we got a Wii. And it was kind of like the thing. It would be like your kid asking for a dirt bike, and instead you get him a mountain bike.

[Ryan]

Like.

[CJ]

Like, it's lamer in every way. It doesn't do anything that he wants it to.

[Mike]

Yeah, but it's.

[CJ]

It's the same idea. It's got two wheels. It's a gaming system. My parents are like, how about a week? And then I was a Wii kid. So it's pretty tough out here for me. Explains a lot about how I grew up.

[Ryan]

Transitions. And we on the weekends, yeah, I.

[Mike]

Got to games so late. Like, we got a Wii, but like, of course, like two and a half years after they came out, when they came down in price.

[CJ]

So when we, like, were lame Then.

[Mike]

Yeah, when they were like lame and then I'm playing it, I'm like kind of feeling like should, should I be having this much fun? Like people.

[CJ]

It is kind of fun.

[Ryan]

You had to like.

[Mike]

Yeah. For like Dance Dance Revolution, you know, like two years later on like Black Friday, we get some mats and we're like playing the game and I'm like this is kind of fun. But like people used people did this like five years ago we.

[CJ]

Bowling was sick and the sports resort.

[Evan]

We peaked at that.

[Mike]

Bowling.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Wii Sports has a special place in my heart.

[Ryan]

At least Dance Dance Revolution, man, I haven't thought about that in a while. Did you guys have that in school?

[Ben]

Yeah, we had in gym class.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I remember I had that gym.

[Ben]

They had like the industrial ones. Like they like they called out and got like the like heavy duty. That was a big deal though.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What, what a short lived thing.

[Ben]

That wasn't that short lived though because they had stands popular since I think I, I'm pretty sure. Dance DDR. Dance Dance Revolution.

[CJ]

DDR.

[Mike]

You guys saw them in arcades, right? You're talking.

[Ben]

Yeah, like they were, they were in like the I think late 90s. Can you want to look that up real quick? And then I, I'm pretty sure then it went to like console so you could do it at your house.

[CJ]

And they're talking like arcade games.

[Ben]

Yeah, like there was the arcade one with like the bar and yeah. In case you fell off, I guess.

[Ryan]

You were DDR too hard.

[Evan]

Grab onto it and you can go fast.

[Ben]

Yeah, you'd like lift yourself off so you could have less pressure on your feet.

[Ken]

Came out in Japan in 98.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Released in North America and Europe in 99.

[Mike]

Wow. Wow.

[Ben]

I'm pretty right about that.

[Ryan]

I couldn't dance as revolutionary.

[Ben]

Evan New Evan just played Grand Theft Auto. He started at Grand Theft Auto 1, they did San Andreas, then he went to Vice City, then he went to 3, 4, 5 and now he's anticipating 6, 6, 6.

[Ryan]

He already asked for a month off.

[Ben]

In 2025 when it comes out.

[Evan]

Dude, I actually played some GTA 5 this weekend for the first time in probably six months. Just because of seeing the trailer.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the trailer for GTA 6 was the most viewed non music video video ever released on YouTube. So 72 million views in. In 24 hours.

[Ben]

So we had Luke Cullen, Kyle Cullen, he's another YouTuber, his brother who shoots all his videos and does pictures and stuff. We'd flew in him out and he was hanging with us for the week Just to just help. Help work and stuff. And so I spent a week with him. And that dude's a huge Grand Theft Auto guy. Would not stop talking about it. Like, he was pumped on it. And I. I was pumped to hear about it just because he was so excited. And he's like, how many. How many views you think this is gonna get in the first 24 hours? I'm like, I mean, I don't know. I'm sure it'll do.

[Mike]

Good.

[Ben]

I was not expecting it to break the record.

[Ryan]

That is insane.

[Ben]

Yeah. Did you guys hear what's actually happening now? So they had. Obviously, everyone's seen it. It's based on Florida and amazing.

[Mike]

Great.

[Ben]

And they are. They, like, took real life events that have happened in Florida and integrated it into the game, or at least just the trailer. So they had like the lady with the knife or whatever, the guy with the garden hose that was naked watering his lawn. The alligator, the dude with the tattoos. They took, like, real life people and put them in the game. Those people are now suing oh, my Grand Theft Auto. Because they want money. Of course they want money because they took them. And I don't know what's gonna happen.

[Ryan]

But, I mean, they had to have seen that coming.

[Ben]

You would have thought. But they must have just thought they were okay because it was many. It's all over social media, like a split screen of, like, the game and then real life, and it's literally spot on.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So honestly, I could see those people maybe getting like a million bucks or a couple million, because that's nothing to grant the doubt. I mean, they've been making like a million bucks a day since ever.

[CJ]

It's true.

[Mike]

You know, it's just one of those things, you know, if you, like, I don't know, use someone's logo, but you completely change it and you, like.

[Ben]

I think. I think they could probably beat them because I highly doubt those people. There's like maybe six of them. Like, you think they're gonna be able to come together and take down Grand Theft Auto and get. But also, I could just see them being like, whatever. Like, this is literally pocket change to us. Here you go. And then those people being all happy.

[Ken]

The dude suing Rockstar Games, his. His nickname is the Joker, and he's suing them for one to two million dollars.

[Ben]

That's literally probably.

[Ken]

This is what he looks like.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

No, that's the game version.

[Mike]

Game version. They actually did change all of it.

[Evan]

I think that was the real one, because the game version, he had yellow hair.

[Mike]

Well, the game version. I mean, the game version has barbed wire tattoo above his mustache. Doesn't have.

[Ben]

But they totally did copy it. But they might have changed enough to get away.

[CJ]

To get away with it.

[Ben]

And I mean, I just highly doubt that guy's gonna be able to get team of lawyers that's gonna be this.

[Mike]

But here's why I think they could end up with something. Because sometimes people. Sometimes people sue like Walmart for like 200 million.

[Ryan]

The thing is, though, is, like a lot of times not even people. It's like lawyers that are doing cases on pro bono.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

They sue for a shitload of money against these corporations and then they get a percentage of it. But, yeah, I mean, it's.

[Ben]

Anyways, it'll be interesting to see what happens with all that because. Yeah, it's kind of a big thing.

[Mike]

One thing coming out in 2025. One thing I can be sure of is that we don't have much time to play video games. But I think I got to make time to play that.

[Ben]

You need time to do all of your hobbies. You have more hobbies than anyone I know, and I love that. And because. Because I wish I had more hobbies, but I don't think I'm as optimistic about my time as you where, like, I would love to get into tons of different things, but I just know there's no point.

[Mike]

Yeah, I was like, well, we.

[Ben]

We go on your drift car.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think about that all the time. We got too much hobbies. What do I do? Well, can't just, like, get rid of them, you know, you actually, like. You can't just, like, stop liking doing something. No, I. I was cracking up about that all weekend. So before the guys had it out, we, like, went over to Jake's and he was drifting his Mustang. I brought my drift car.

[Ben]

Could have been Miata. Was there Ryan's tc?

[Mike]

Ryan brought the tc, which was very nostalgic. And I obviously could have been more prepared, but, like, the battery was dead. Okay, whatever. Like, I can jump in. Every time I started, everything was going wrong for me.

[CJ]

I ran out of fuel.

[Ken]

I was wondering why.

[Ben]

You should calculate how much money you have into the car, but then deduct it or divide it by the amount of times you've gotten to use it or just time spent driving it and see how much it costs every time you turn the key or at least try to turn the key.

[CJ]

The smile per dollar coefficient.

[Mike]

I got a long ways before I worked that number to anything.

[Ben]

Right now, right now, you'd have been better off. Off renting a Lamborghini.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And drifting it. You'd be way better off each time.

[Mike]

No. And the. Dude, I'm still in, like, in a position. Like, the worst part is. Is, like, I'm not saying I can't look back. Like, I can't sell. You can do anything.

[Ben]

Well, you can.

[Mike]

I could sell.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I could sell it for a loss. But, like, bro, at this point, like, there's no point in trying to. You know, what if that happens again with another car? Whatever. Like, I'm just gonna stick with it properly. Yeah. And do it. Good news is now it's winter, so don't have to worry.

[Ben]

Don't have to worry about trying to drive it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. It made it way funnier, dude. Like, that might have been the best part. That was better than the drifting. And in my opinion, I was chuckling. It was not.

[Mike]

I was not having it. But then until my hood flew open, I had to laugh.

[Ben]

That was the breaking point.

[Mike]

It really paints a good picture in Jake. Snap. One of my two laps. Like, I swing around like, I watched it 20 times, man. I did look good there. And then quite literally the next lap after that, I come around, the hood's up. The coolant is like, yeah.

[Ben]

At least you're saving money on tires because you never have the chance to turn them off.

[Ryan]

Dude, wait.

[Mike]

Yeah. Everyone in the drift scene is like, dude, just be prepared to buy, like, a million tires. But other than that, it's. It's super fun. Haven't had to really buy tires at all.

[CJ]

A lot of cool.

[Ryan]

There's one benefit.

[Mike]

A lot of coolant, though. She needs some love. The worst part is I got all kinds of people reaching out to me, saying that they can give it love, but I got trailer this way or that way.

[Ben]

Dump my money into it.

[Mike]

Yeah, I. Well, I'm willing to do that. I just wish I knew how to work on it myself or had time.

[CJ]

But it was that great. Another project that would be nice to tackle.

[Ryan]

Jake, Last time he was on here, he was telling us, you know, how excited he was for this Mustang build, that he's basically turning his daily driver into a drift car that he still plans on daily.

[Ben]

He still has a raptor. He still has a raptor. True. That thing was drifting like a freaking.

[CJ]

No, yeah.

[Ben]

No.

[Ryan]

He plans on daily in it. Oh, really?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And so he comes out and he's got his. He's got his E brake, and he's got a drift glove on.

[Ben]

Yeah. And you know, he had done like a thousand laps in preparation.

[Ryan]

He was dialed, he was tire out. And I was like, dude, I'm gonna be honest, this is the best you've ever looked at anything.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Riding or driving. I was like, you were, I think you were made for this, Jake. I loved hearing that. Yeah. You know, that fired him up. He was like, hell yeah.

[Mike]

All the time.

[Ryan]

Practice laps.

[Ben]

Who else has a spot like that where they can practice?

[Ryan]

Yeah. It was fun being back there.

[Mike]

Yeah. The best part too is it's, it's almost better than like a normal track because it's got like terrain change.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like the angles, sketchy areas and open areas.

[Ben]

Like it's better than just having an open parking lot. Yeah, for sure.

[Evan]

Stuff to go around, concrete barriers, stuff to run into.

[CJ]

Stuff to run into.

[Ryan]

Semi trucks, gas tanks.

[Mike]

Ryan did a full like callback like. Yeah, we have a clip legit from like that was probably filmed in 2016, maybe 2015. But he's drifting at Jake's dads and he's playing Chill Bill.

[CJ]

I listen to Chill Bill, like listen.

[Mike]

To Chill Bill over and over and just was just hanging it. I mean, as much as you can hang a front wheel drive car.

[Ben]

It's funny how those, the Miata and the TC made it through the day, but you're built ass drift car.

[CJ]

Well, I'm not.

[Mike]

Yeah. As far as reliability, like, it's no question that it's like so much farther below the TC or the Miata, but like I got no excuses.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I just can't believe it, man.

[Mike]

All we can do is laugh. Yeah.

[CJ]

You were good about one day.

[Ben]

I would have one. I'd be pissed, dude. I think I would have just. Well, you can't put a brick on the gas. It's not gonna go anywhere. I don't know what I would have done. I would have freaking posted for sale.

[Mike]

I don't, I can't accept that loss there. Yeah. The rest of the guys after you guys left, like, so what, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna sell it? What do you think you get for this? 15. And I'm just like, oh, probably maybe.

[CJ]

Shut up, shut up.

[Ben]

I don't think you'd even get 15.

[Mike]

So that's what I'm saying. I ain't trying to sell it and actually take like a 15 grand loss.

[Ben]

We can put up on a post or something.

[Evan]

I'll buy the motor out of it for the old Silver Rudy.

[Mike]

It's the only good part about the car.

[CJ]

Well, at least we Have a new thing to add. Obviously my stand up jet ski was pretty tippy. Top on the list of stupid things to buy that never worked. And then I had my Hummer, but that kind of redeemed itself, so it might have kicked itself off the list. But I think we can put tender. I think we can put your drift car number one. My stand up at number two. Yeah, I'm not number three. Yeah. What's number three? What's another shitty thing we bought that we hate?

[Ryan]

Probably Evan's like my raptor probably.

[Mike]

Like, probably the Mud Stang or Tiny.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah, the Mud Stain. Tiny got us through a tough time. Yeah, but the Mud Stain never did anything.

[Mike]

Yeah, and keep in mind, like, that was a while ago, but the Mud sting actually got motor swapped and we still have nothing good to say about it.

[Ben]

I like how you said Tiny got us through a tough time. Like Tiny was there for us.

[CJ]

It did. Dude, it was the spring, we had no money and we made like nine tiny videos.

[Ben]

Y.

[Ryan]

Tiny actually did come through 3500 bucks on that thing.

[Ben]

And we were like, I don't know if we can do this, boys. Like, we scraped everything together to buy a piece of. What were we thinking?

[Mike]

Are we really going to motor swap this thing? Is this what we're doing? We did like, you know, put our. Put our coins in. In that basket and did it.

[CJ]

And he got us through a tough time.

[Ben]

That was like a pretty viral video. I remember because it hit like 200k first, like couple days or something like that.

[CJ]

Crazy. I think if you look, those videos are one of the ones that never continued to get.

[Ben]

Yeah, they kind of just stayed maybe at 400.

[CJ]

Yeah, you're an audience for a Chevy of a lifted mud cars.

[Ben]

Smart.

[CJ]

Yeah. You look like you had something to say over there, Kenny.

[Ken]

No, I was gonna try and work.

[CJ]

Something in, but it didn't work. No.

[Ryan]

Ken, did you ever get that girl's.

[CJ]

Instagram, the one with the boyfriend?

[Ben]

Remember when we were waiting the barrel burner in the lobby? That subscriber came up to us and you asked his girlfriend for Insta.

[Ken]

No, I didn't.

[CJ]

Did she ever like DM you her friend's Instagram? She was pretty gung ho on setting you up with. With the pageant girls or whatever.

[Ken]

What night was that? I was.

[Ben]

First night.

[CJ]

No, the third night. After the steak place. You were running around.

[Ben]

Oh, I don't know.

[CJ]

I was trying to get him scared.

[Ken]

After the steak place. I know. I went straight back to bed.

[CJ]

I don't. I don't know.

[Ryan]

I don't know about that.

[Evan]

Went straight to bed after dinner in Vegas.

[Ken]

I. I swear to God, I got a little too drunk and new. I. I need to get out of here. I need to get out of the public eye.

[Mike]

How drunk was the guy?

[Ben]

He was wearing his shoes on his hands, his underwear on his head.

[Mike]

He had his.

[Ben]

Yeah, and he had like, Captain Underpants. That's what he looked like.

[Ryan]

Cabin underpants.

[Ben]

Didn't wear his underwear on his head, did he?

[Ryan]

Hilarious.

[CJ]

Who did, though? Somebody does in the cartoons.

[Ryan]

Ken with underpants on his head.

[Ben]

Like white underwear.

[Ryan]

All right, Ev, you got anything for us?

[Ben]

No.

[Ryan]

You gotta have something. Ev, come on.

[Ben]

Yeah. How are you such a. You talk. You could talk to a post. We get you on here. You don't say a word. We're like, hey, like, how. How are you feeling after your crash? All right? Then we look at you like, that's it. You go.

[Ryan]

Hits you with that.

[Ben]

Nothing more. Just to act like we're just hanging here. Get talking like you do.

[Ryan]

You good.

[CJ]

Do you want me to set the scene for you? It's 9:30pm you and Gavin have been drinking Coors Lights since 4:30.

[Evan]

Sounds like a good afternoon.

[Ben]

Sounds like a normal day.

[CJ]

Now everything is done and you are sitting at the bar downstairs. Close your eyes.

[Ryan]

You're there.

[CJ]

There's a pizza on the pizzazz.

[Evan]

Nice stuffed crust, I presume.

[CJ]

Sure, whatever you want it to be.

[Evan]

Pepperoni.

[Mike]

I see what you're getting at. Because I'm like, well, if that's the scenario. Evan's chatting, chatting our ears off. I don't know about what.

[Evan]

Why don't we do that on the podcast? Have beer and pizza.

[Ben]

Yeah, great idea. Holy shit. Oh, my God.

[Mike]

Have you seen them? I was cracking up the other day when we had just towers of orders. Again, thank you. Guys ready to go out the door Waiting for the ups, man. They're. Ken and his workers are just cranking it out. Crank. Like tons and tons of workers are.

[CJ]

Just cranking in the back, dude. They're just cranking.

[Mike]

And then Ben's like, damn, dude. These guys are doing, like, really good. You guys are. You guys might earn yourselves a little pizza party.

[Ben]

Ken said that to him.

[Mike]

No, no, Ben. Yeah, he was serious, dude.

[Ryan]

Ken was pissed. He was like, pizza.

[CJ]

That's it.

[Mike]

No.

[Ryan]

Ben, don't be saying that in front of them.

[CJ]

He ruined the quarterly surprise. That was their big Christmas party. He's gonna come back with a 2 liter amount. Doing some Styrofoam cups, dude.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Those kids are, like, buzzing after they heard pizza party. And Ken was like, shut up.

[Ben]

Now we gotta give him pizza.

[CJ]

Cut into our profits.

[Mike]

Best. Best I can do is frozen tombstone.

[CJ]

Those kids have done good. I saw this video on Instagram today and made me think of our boy Mike since, I mean, we haven't made fun of him in about 45 seconds.

[Ben]

What's the first thing that you think of when, like, he says something like this? What is. What are you envisioning? Yeah, you're seeing.

[CJ]

What are you. What are you. What are you picturing in your brain?

[Mike]

Yeah, Something to do with driving or, like. No. Unreliability in general.

[CJ]

You know, it could really be anything.

[Ryan]

Reliability. I love the self awareness, Mike.

[CJ]

My caption in the group chat to this was Micah on a casual drive to Fargo.

[Ben]

It's yellow too.

[CJ]

I mean, he wrecked really bad. Okay.

[Ryan]

But what happened?

[CJ]

Probably hit the throttle a little bit and just.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Ken]

Only thing that makes sense is a wheel locked up for no reason.

[CJ]

Basically.

[Mike]

Like, dude, there's people all over in the comments about this and that, and they're like, it was the. So many people are like, it was the camera that made him do that. I'm like, not even that. Yeah. So anyway, if you watch this with the sound, like, on and whatever, you can actually see him drop two gears and then go full throttle. So it's like, what do you expect is gonna happen? I tell.

[CJ]

Because it only makes noise. It doesn't.

[Ben]

Wow. That guy was just giving him a thumbs up because he was a cool car. He saw a guy filming and was like, I'm gonna give him some revs. Drop too many gears. It probably redlined. And then this tire speed couldn't keep up. So it was like hitting the brakes.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And it was already maybe a little slick or wet. That slid.

[CJ]

Shout out.

[Ryan]

Cj, you work for an insurance company?

[Ben]

No.

[Ryan]

Damn. That was a good analysis.

[CJ]

Shout out to the cameraman. Nailed that. Like, this guy is not hired to be here. And he nailed this shot so many times right here. The guy could have went down and we wouldn't be living with this legendary video.

[Ryan]

And then he goes out the window too.

[CJ]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[Ryan]

The guy went out.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, I thought the guy that hit went out the window. That'd be even Ryan.

[Ryan]

Dude, we should have brought Ryan to the Ryan convention.

[Mike]

That was weird.

[Ryan]

It had to have just asked you how it was, but I don't know.

[CJ]

What it is, but the Ryan culture has been building. Wait, which Is really nice because it's a tough place to be.

[Mike]

You should explain. All just one in the same dude. That's like, whatever, skater, whatever they did. You should briefly explain that. It's so funny when he does that. Ryan meetup.

[CJ]

Yeah, I believe.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

That's a real thing. That's not a skit.

[Ben]

Yeah, no, they did a real life.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Ben]

Meet up.

[Mike]

What did they say at the end? Like, they, like, do a plan. Brian.

[Ben]

No, Brian.

[Mike]

Brian's. I don't know. Everyone was doing it. Brian, now Ryan. Even though everyone there was named Ryan.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What's up with that?

[CJ]

The whole Ryan. Brian thing.

[Ben]

No, what?

[Ryan]

No, the, like, Ryan culture is growing.

[CJ]

Well, I just. I just think that Ryan's have been put down enough and we're finally ready to, you know, make our place in social media. Come on places like this podcast. Everyone's like, wow, what a stupid name. So we need a place to come together and hang out as Ryan.

[Ryan]

Is Ryan a stupid name?

[CJ]

Yeah, you told me it was like verbatim.

[Ryan]

I didn't actually mean that though.

[Ben]

Ryan.

[CJ]

Oh, it's just like the way that the words and syllables came out of your mouth and the way you looked me in the eyes and told me, wow, what a stupid name. That made me feel like maybe it was true.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ryan]

I was kidding.

[Mike]

You can, like, base it also, though, like, there's a lot of famous Ryan, so that. That's kind of where my brain goes like this.

[Ryan]

I mean, Ryan Reynolds.

[Mike]

Ryan Reynolds.

[Ryan]

Like, you're being pretty. Well, who else?

[Mike]

Who's the quarterback?

[Ryan]

Ryan Gosling.

[CJ]

Okay. Tana Hill.

[Mike]

And so there's. There's a lot of Ryan.

[CJ]

I mean, I mean, I would say the only famous CJ is probably a fake cj and that's in CJ CJ.

[Mike]

Ham, the legendary running back from the play.

[Ryan]

He's a fullback.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, he's a fullback. And then in that game. Sorry to go back to that. In the game, they're like, this is S. C.J. hams in the game. This is his first run of the season. I was like, what the hell have they been doing with him? This guy's a force to be reckoned with. Sorry.

[Ryan]

What about Evans?

[Mike]

There's. I'm just.

[Ryan]

Evan, whatever you do, don't say anything.

[CJ]

What?

[Ryan]

Okay, good.

[CJ]

Good job.

[Ryan]

You're following the rules. He said for himself, he's like, I'm.

[Ben]

Going to go on here and not say a word.

[CJ]

It's okay.

[Ben]

How few words I can say.

[Evan]

I haven't had anything to say.

[Mike]

There's not that many.

[Evan]

It's like, oh, I don't even know.

[CJ]

Classics.

[Ryan]

You almost started saying something.

[CJ]

I feel bad because on this.

[Ryan]

For.

[CJ]

On the first podcast, I didn't say a word. I was scared. And the less you talk, the harder it is to start speaking. Yeah.

[Evan]

And I'm not like. I'm just trying not to, like, jump over anyone. And you guys have been like, you're going to. And I'm interested in what you're saying. So I've just been sitting on the sidelines listening. Yeah.

[Mike]

Can you imagine if he wasn't. Yeah. I don't know what to say. I don't care what you guys are saying.

[Ben]

Give him a break. He's not on camera that much.

[Mike]

At one time in our lives, it was. That was a true statement.

[Ben]

Now it's not, though.

[Mike]

No, it is cool. That's. That's the fun part about being on camera, is that when you first start, you're like, do I sound like that? You know, we talked about that. Like, you. You really get over it, and you get over talking into the lens like it's a person.

[Ryan]

First time we ever met Evan, we were on our way to Idaho for a dirt biking trip, and our friend David asked if his friend Evan could ride with us there. Evan hops in that truck. Doesn't say a single word the entire way. Except for one thing. When Ryan pulled out of. In front of a semi, he goes, semi's coming.

[CJ]

Very calmly and quietly.

[Evan]

Dude, that was sketchy. I was sitting on the pass or the driver's side, like, looking out. I'm like, does you know how to drive? I've known you for, like, 20 minutes.

[Ryan]

We should have let you hop in. The drive seized.

[CJ]

We got chatting eventually, though, once Ben and Cody were sleeping.

[Evan]

Eventually. Yeah, it was me.

[Mike]

You.

[Ben]

What were you thinking? Were you thinking, like, these guys are a bunch of.

[CJ]

Yeah. And then later, that drive, we ran out of kind of. So I'm sure you were.

[Evan]

Well, I mean, it was my fault that we ran out of gas.

[CJ]

It was. We figured that out. That's good that you had a little bit of guilt in that, because otherwise it probably would have been pretty aggravating.

[Ken]

Didn't you say you held in that guilt for, like, quite a while?

[Evan]

Yeah. I didn't tell him.

[Ken]

Before you let it go, go, go out there.

[CJ]

I did see that today. Three years ago today, you came out and we filmed the original on ice.

[Mike]

Amazing.

[Ben]

He came out of the other. Three years ago today, you came out.

[Mike]

And hung out. You know, that's all right.

[Ryan]

Oh, that was only three years ago.

[CJ]

I guess so. Yeah. Micah was so hungover in that video, he didn't wake up until two.

[Mike]

Remember, I just clicked biggest YouTube video.

[CJ]

Ever at that point for sure.

[Mike]

Which is like. That's right.

[Ryan]

Honestly.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Talk about like living standard.

[Ryan]

You slept through that, dude. I forgot about that.

[Ben]

You couldn't get him up when you said, whatever, let's just do it right and do it right now and then.

[Mike]

I still love sleeping. Don't get me wrong there. I don't have crippling hangovers like that anymore. Try to be a little. Because honestly, like since I was just so bummed, like, yeah, or you get.

[Ryan]

Hungover when you're babysitting.

[Ben]

When you. He had a two beer limit. Yeah. How could he be hungover?

[Ryan]

That's what I mean.

[Mike]

I don't. He pushed the crippling hangover like that where you just miss. I mean.

[CJ]

Or your internal dialogue.

[Mike]

Turns out I felt like I missed.

[Ryan]

That's a new definition.

[Mike]

I felt like I missed a part of history because essentially, I mean, you did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

So I'm gonna phrase this question one way. You can take it two ways. Do you think that video did so well because you weren't.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

That's the first way you could take it is exactly how you all did. The second one is the second half of that video is us waking you up. And it adds a good dynamic to the storyline when you're watching go, wow, one of these guys was so hungover, they woke him up with a fire extinguisher at three in the afternoon. Pretty funny.

[Ben]

So true.

[Ryan]

It is.

[Mike]

Never know both ways.

[Ryan]

It is funny though, when you watch that back is it opens up with us trying to wake up Micah.

[Ben]

And then that's what our biggest viral.

[Ryan]

Video, our most viral video is us complete. That is not how like you're supposed to do YouTube and open up a video. And we. And I mean it's just kind of proof. It really doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want. But every time I watch that back, I. I'm always laughing like, damn, one Mike slept through this. And dude, this is.

[Mike]

Opened it up.

[CJ]

See what I mean? It could be option two. You never know. You could have started out with us trying to push. Start a shifter cart.

[Ryan]

Somebody just reposted like they just cut bits from that video and just posted on. On Instagram. And there was one the other day that had like 1.5 million likes on it and it was just like a cut from our video.

[CJ]

Evan's got, like, what, how many million now on your crash video?

[Ryan]

60.

[Mike]

Crazy. Between the last two ice, dude. Between that video and then the. The Smooth Operator ice video, Evan's had.

[CJ]

100 mil a week.

[Mike]

Yeah. We're about to hit a million, so if you haven't followed us on Instagram, I mean, please do.

[Ben]

So.

[Mike]

We. We just really want to hit a million. We've been grinding towards it slowly but surely. And those last couple clips of Evan on the ice, I mean, like, seriously, we went up, like, almost 100k in the last month, so.

[CJ]

Well, at least Evan's mutinous. At least he could still ride a dirt bike.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Evan]

Don't. Don't need to talk.

[Mike]

Don't even try.

[Ryan]

The dark is so long. You forgot how.

[Ben]

Starts talking backwards. Oh.

[CJ]

Close this out.

[Ben]

F. Do you have any people you want to, like, shout out, like, inspirations?

[Evan]

Inspirations in my life?

[Ben]

Yeah. Yeah. Like, I see this one guy, he's doing, like, all the same stuff as you. I'm. I can't tell if you did it first or if he did it after.

[Ryan]

You with a shout out, dude, to your inspiration. He's so confused right now.

[Mike]

He can't even do it.

[Ryan]

Dude, are you all right? You go on a diet. You show up, you don't know how to talk.

[Ben]

He hadn't been drinking today. He doesn't know how to function.

[Evan]

That is a big problem. I haven't been drunken, too. You need to get me all good for you. My circuit board. Short note.

[Ryan]

This is concerning.

[CJ]

I still like you, though.

[Evan]

Yeah, it's all right.

[Ben]

What?

[Evan]

I need to get off here.

[Ryan]

Oh, man. I'm not sure if you ever got on.

[Evan]

All right. What's up? Are we still doing this?

[Ryan]

I don't know, man. I don't know.

[CJ]

It reminds me of Ben, dude, when you were like, what are we doing? Is. We're very clearly doing something in Vegas. We're, like, walking to the game. What are we doing right now?

[Ryan]

Dude, I was lost without Ken. Ken being our travel advisor. Ken, your service is greatly appreciated.

[Ken]

How many times I explained to you guys, you have to go to Mandalay Bay and then you can walk across the highway? I explained that probably six times in the span of 45 minutes.

[CJ]

The problem was he wasn't listening. Exactly. Also, the problem was, is we had to walk three and a half miles there, so we had to be very, very sure that is exactly what we needed.

[Ken]

I said, get an Uber to as close to Excalibur as possible.

[CJ]

We tried those wouldn't pick us up.

[Ken]

You do realize there are tax out in front of the the hotel, right?

[CJ]

The line was miles long.

[Ryan]

All right.

[CJ]

Couldn't do it without you, Kenny.

[Ryan]

Well, on that note, Evan, thank you for signing us off or whatever that was.

[Mike]

Hey.
