A
Oh, what's up, Daisy? Are we back?
B
We rolling? Yeah.
A
All right, Daisy, speak. Brilliant.
C
All righty, guys, welcome back to the Life Wide Open podcast. This is our third reiteration of trying to get into the podcast.
A
Right. I swear, now, Ryan, if you hit us with an ad, dude loves them.
C
I just love reading ads the whole time. It's my favorite part of the podcast.
A
To be fair, Ryan is paying our bills, so I do appreciate that, Ryan.
B
We've seen a few comments about it, and now you. Now you guys are getting after him. That's the funniest thing.
A
Guys, look, we got some overhead here, okay? Evan breaks a lot of shit. He's not cheap. Fortunate for us, Ryan's paying him.
C
Somebody's got to bring home the bacon around here.
A
Wait, this money's going to us? Because I thought you were just pocketing it. I haven't seen any of it. I thought.
B
All right, well, then we're doing no ads in this episode. None.
C
You won't hear me read an ad today.
A
Yo. Thank God. All right. Okay, so speaking of calling my co host out, I'm going to start with something that has been very personal to me, and I kind of dragged you guys into it because I've been trying to get to the bottom of it for the past, like, three weeks now. I walked into my office on a Saturday morning.
C
Oh, no.
A
And there was puke on my floor. I was very confused, as you can imagine. And I was like, what. What happened last night?
D
That.
A
Why would. Why would there be throw up in. In my office, right? So I start, like, asking the guys, like, hey, did you have, like, a dog over here, like, this early this morning? Did you happen to throw up in my office? You know, I'm just going around asking everyone, and C.J. and he's very confused, and Ryan and. And Ken and Evan, and I go, well, there's only one guy left. I go, there's only one person it could be, right? The last guy. So I go and ask Mike, hey, did you throw up in my office? And Mike goes, no. Why would I throw up in your office? And I go, what the. Okay. All right. Well, everyone said no. We go about the day. And Mike then comes to all of us a little bit later and goes, who ate my rice? And I'm like, the rice that's been in the fridge right next to my office?
B
Yep.
A
And I'm like, dude, I don't know. I did not eat your rice. I hear. I hear Mike go to everyone else, did you eat my rice?
B
I didn't go to everyone.
A
But I'm pretty confused, right? And Mike is finally like, geez, dude, you're making such a big deal about this throw up. I'll just clean it up if you're going to go around talking about it all day.
B
And I'll. This happened. So then I'm starting, like, 20 minutes.
A
I'm starting to feel a little bit guilty because I'm like, man, maybe I am making a big deal about this. I'm accusing everyone. Like, I don't. I still, like, maybe some random dog walked up in my office and threw up. Anyway, so the following. As random dogs, the following Thursday comes along, and I'm sitting there editing the video, and I'm rolling my chair around, and I hear. Keep hearing, like, a crunch. And I'm like, what? What is that crunch? And I finally look down and, like, get real close to the carpet, and I'm like, oh, my God, there's rice in my carpet. So then I'm like, whoever threw up in my office must have ate Mike's rice and spilt it sitting at my desk. So I go, well, we got security cameras for a reason. So I start looking, and thankfully, the corner of my office is right at the edge. Right at the edge. Who did it? I see somebody sit down at my. At my desk. Why does he have his flashlight on? This is my personal space. Keep this in mind, all right? I feel very violated at this point. Did you not know that there was. I see somebody come in. I see somebody come in.
B
Oh.
A
I go, I knew it. I knew it. There was somebody sitting at my desk eating rice at 2:45 or whatever time it is. AM and this goes on for about 15 minutes. Keep in mind, just enough time. Just enough time to eat an entire bowl of rice, okay? And I'm like, that son of a. Who could it be? Because Mike had some friends over that night. And I go. I go, mike had friends over that night. I guarantee they ate Mike's rice and then sat at my desk and ate Mike's rice and then threw up on the way out, right? So I go, all right, we got other security cameras. I'm gonna look. Okay, here it is. Walking out, walking out. More reflective. And at this point, I'm like, hold. Wait a second.
C
Who's this reflective man?
A
And then I see him come in. There's the culprit. Look at this fucking idiot. Dude, look at this guy. Look at this guy. He's still holding the bowl of rice. He's still holding it.
C
The most impressive part Is not only did you blackout so hard that you ate your own rice and accused everyone of everyone else.
B
I didn't accuse everyone of eating my rice.
A
Just me and bed. And then you screw up in my office.
B
I don't think I threw up either.
A
Because you also don't think you ate the rice.
B
No, no.
A
Something's not adding up here.
B
Things are changed. I'm ready to fess up. For sure. Okay.
A
I'm here for it.
B
I. When I cleaned it up, I have.
A
Been going straight up, Mike. I. I went full on, like, Nancy Drew mode there for a couple days.
B
Totally did.
A
Absolutely.
B
Which is how you figured it out. And. And no, I was not lying to you from, like, a pathological standpoint.
C
Just that you didn't want to admit it.
A
No, no, he was just black.
B
No, because I did have convinced Ebrev.
A
Right. Maybe there's something to be said about that. After I got to the bottom of it, I was a little salty, I'm going to be honest. But I was like, the dude's not a liar. I think he was just that drunk. He straight up doesn't even know he's not a liar.
B
But also, it was just an idiot. It was like me not wanting to believe it, but it was the fact that I did have friends over that I was like, ah. So then I went to clean it up because I knew it was still my responsibility. It was clearly not Ben who spilled it. And then as I'm cleaning it up.
C
Out of his guts.
A
Spill.
B
Whatever. I look closely at it, because if it is throw up, I'm. I'm clearly like, yeah, that's fucking gross. Even if it's mine. I cleaned it up and it looked like it was just a spill. Just the way I looked. A spill of yum yum sauce, bro. On the rice.
A
Oh, that.
B
So I. It might be weird, but it's probably mine. And as I'm getting closer to it, I'm like, this is. This is the. The rice. The yum yum sauce on the rice. So then I'm cleaning it up. I'm like, thank goodness this is an actually throw up. You could just tell it was just yum yum sauce and a little bit of rice and a couple steak pieces. Right then and there. I was like, that's me. That's the rice, bro.
A
Okay, that actually does make me feel better.
B
So then it would have felt weird because that was the day that we. The. When we filmed the last podcast with your. Or a couple podcasts ago with your dad. Your dad was Here even kind of roasting me too. And I couldn't bring myself to fess up then and there because you didn't.
C
Need to fess up because everybody knew it was the only one here after.
A
10Pm to be fair, I was watching the cameras because I went home and went to bed early that night and I kept getting motion things and I'm like, what? Oh, going on.
B
See, we get those on this camera.
A
I, I do. I set it up.
B
Oh, nice.
A
And it was like 1am, 2am I'm sitting there, I'm watching the cameras because there's this group of random ass dudes I've never seen before in my life. And you two aren't anywhere to be found. You were gone. And there was this group of random dudes hanging out. They picked up our camera. They were walking around checking stuff out. I'm like, who the fuck are these guys? And I'm kind of just watching them and I'm watching them and then finally Mike and Evan come rolling in. That's what they look like. And then, you know, some time passes and I was like, all right, they're there, everything's good now. I was at first like, yeah, well, at least I felt.
B
No, it's just funny that the worst thing that was happening was me making Ben's office my personal.
D
Right.
C
Why Ben's office though?
A
Yeah, why my office, Mike?
B
Now kind of hearing this unfold and truly like, you know, seeing that camera footage of me in there, that's like entertaining to me. I know it's still not cool, but.
A
Like when you get so nerve wracking.
C
Why Ben's office though?
B
I don't know. That's what's entertaining to me. Like, why did I grab. I'm going to grab my rice and go. Ben's office is looking comfy. I want to sit down on his desk. Spill. Right.
A
It's like when your boss is out and you don't take a shit on his desk.
B
No.
C
But instead you just didn't have to say, puked on his floor.
A
Yeah, he'll never know it's me.
B
No, that's.
A
On your desk. And you're just playing it off and you just see the camera footage.
B
No, it's, it's, it's pretty.
A
Get up. You see his face through the window. Well, hold up. What, you do a face backwards. My favorite part though was.
B
No, wait, sorry. Before you say that, I'm sorry, Ben. I'm not. I would never maliciously also do anything in your space, but I do find it so Funny that. I just was like, yeah, I'm gonna eat this rice in Ben's office and just make it home.
A
I appreciate the apology, Mike. You know, I just. This is just a suggestion. And it's not my gun. It's not my. You know, I don't have anything to do with these guys.
B
Just have Ben pull the trigger.
A
But no, I was saying. Where are you going with this? Well, you got, you know, a couple of hooligans that like to have these late night runarounds with some randoms at the shop. Yeah. Maybe don't have the AR15 just chilling on the wall in your office.
B
Oh, dude, we're not. Dude, I mean, we're not. I don't know.
A
Valid point. Call of Duty. They're gonna say, I don't remember. It wasn't me.
B
All right.
C
Is all wrapped up, dude.
A
I don't fucking know. I was watching the cameras.
B
I would say that's a maybe valid concern. But also, if you actually have to be, like, worried about that or if you actually think that an accident like that would happen, kick me out of the business right now.
A
No. You know what I'm saying? Not actually, but. No, no, I've surprised us before, but.
B
Like, to what caliber?
A
Kidding. I'm just kidding. It was the wrong choice. What caliber, though?
B
No. Oh, yeah. We had the one running with the 22, but it could get worse.
A
Not worried about that. I'm not worried about that.
B
That's too funny.
A
He's just cracking the joke because that's what I think of, like, right where the throw up was right in front of the AR15 that's hung on your wall. So I was like, damn. No, it is looking at the gun. It is. Yeah. It is concerning.
C
We'll get you one of those fancy ones where it's locked to the walls.
B
Dude. It's fine, though. Like, the buddies I had, most of them were in the military, so they.
C
Know how to use it.
A
Those guys seem pretty big. Yep, they were big. No, they were just, like, jacked. Like, I always watch them because I was.
B
It's actually the.
A
Are these guys, you know, like, get over, you get all these. Not. What's going on to shop. Is there a party there without me there? And I click. And the only people on the cameras are people I've never seen before. I'm like, is someone else having a party at our shop?
C
Valid concern.
A
He's watching for an hour and a half straight. Dude, it was kind of nervous. Well, no, I didn't. So I didn't See you guys. For a while. I was like, well, they gotta be there. And I was watching your guys location and then I was. You guys were over at the track when I looked at it. So you must have been ripping the shav like you like to do at late hours of the morning and. Or early hours of the morning and these guys are kind of wandering around. It was like for quite a while and I was just winding down for bed and I started just being like. I feel like someone needs to like be there. This is kind of making me nervous. No, it was fine. But you know, you've never seen him before. I. I actually got up and put my pants on. I was going to go over there. Bro. You could have stopped his pants.
B
I can't believe you held out on that.
A
Could have stopped this entire rice debacle.
B
Yeah, you could have stopped that.
A
The reason why I stopped was because I then saw your guys location. You then walked back in because I was watching the camera size. Oh no. We're in good hands now.
B
Yeah.
A
Evan and Mike. So we thought, yeah, we can get off this whole thing. Mike. I thought it was hilarious. I don't. I. I think you should throw up in Ben's office more often, quite frankly. I like it over there. I like it. You know, just don't accuse me of eating your rice or I would.
B
See, that's. That's. I know who m. Yeah.
A
At the end of the day, did my rice out? No. He came up so hot, dude.
B
No, I did not.
A
You're like Patrick in that spongebob. They're stranded and they only have two chocolate bars. And Patrick eats his chocolate bar and he's got it all over his mouth. He goes, hey, do you eat my chocolate?
B
I was that hot. I wasn't like, did you eat my chocolate? I was just like that. I was like, how's that going? Did you guys know where my rice went?
A
Hey.
B
Hi. Oh yeah. I was yelling, did you eat my.
A
Rice or do you know where it went?
B
My eyebrow down like this.
A
Hey, you were mad. You were mad because typically either Ben or I throw out your food or your hat half drinking coffee or whatever the hell you're saving in the fridge because it sits in there for a week. So you probably. You probably thought that we threw out your rice which was only like a day or two old, which was all valid.
B
Yeah.
D
And it.
B
Dude. So it makes just hot giant puzzle of making. It got solved. Of making me dude.
C
This.
A
The whole debacle. We could name Rice gate. Rice gate.
C
Rice gate.
B
Man.
A
I'm glad we got that settled. I'm glad that we got the beef squash. Mike.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
Stay out of my office, man.
C
Puts a little, like, gate on it. Like a childproof gate, you know, you have to, like, use a couple.
A
We can't go over there. It takes two brain cells.
B
It's like, I don't have to stop.
A
I don't.
B
Yes. I don't have to stop.
A
A little bit of a puzzle.
B
Like, I don't have to. I don't have to stop. Micah. I don't. I don't care.
C
Squeeze and pull.
B
I don't care if Micah comes into my office. But, like, yeah, the gate totally stops. Blacked out. Micah. You just can't get in.
A
Micah and Evan both.
B
I just can't do it.
C
They're both up there, both working on it.
A
Good stuff. I don't know a whole lot about this. I don't want to go too in depth with it, but there's basically this new program. It's still in beta, but it's like an AI program that is wicked smart. I don't know how it does this, but you guys are going to be absolutely mind blown when I show you what it does. I think this is going to, like, completely change, honestly, everything. This is the first time that I've ever seen, like, AI where I'm like, oh, wow. This could completely replace industries of, like, again, I. I don't know, coding. I don't really understand AI in general, but I had a friend show me this and I was mind blown. And so I wanted to just pull it up and show you guys this because I know you are going to be mind blown. You ready? Watch this so I can type something in and it'll basically give me a real time response. Write me a short story about a man that has a hog but also has an extreme anger problem.
C
Put in whiny.
A
Are you doing anonymously? Or like, where are you getting this from? It's just the first thing that came to mind. John has always been a bit of an odd duck. He loved hogs and had one of his own, but he also had an extreme anger problem. We're working on it. Ev. Whenever something didn't go his way, he would fly into a rage and those around him would quickly back away. No one is specific here. All right. Okay. So that's just like, hog was the.
C
Only thing that could calm him down from his outskirts.
B
He would take long walks with it, and the hog seemed to know that John needed it. It would lay its head on his shoulder. And John would. I didn't know it was that long.
A
Whoa, Hey, we're not getting into the specifics here.
C
One day, John was walking with his hog, and another man bumped into him. John was about to explode, but the hog saved him from himself. Wait. It jumped in between him and the other man? John suddenly remembered the calming effect his hog had on him. He took a few deep breaths and realized that it had been about to make a huge mistake.
A
It basically responds to whatever you type in there in real time.
B
And this is just one avenue of AI, you know, like, there's. There's, like, writing, and there's, like, visuals. There's, like, videos. There's, like, deep fake, you know? Yeah.
A
It's amazing. I wish I had this when I was in college. Dude, holy shit. I never write me essays and stuff. You can change things over here, but I think you can set it to, like, write you an entire story type in there. What's the. What's the easiest way to make money?
C
Who is the YouTube channel? CD.
B
What?
C
What?
B
C Boys TV is an American YouTube channel run by the Tyler brothers Logan and Stupid. Stupid feature a variety of content such as vlogs, gaming, and more. Their channel was created in October 2016, which is true. And currently has over 4.3 million subscribers, which.
A
All right, it's still a little stupid. It's in beta still. This thing is. It's got the hog story down, you.
B
Know, but that's how I also feel like a lot of the AI, like, almost everything that's out right now as far as AI is like, it's in beta. It's in beta, which I don't know what that means, but, dude, I feel.
C
Like this will just get really good, and it'll almost, like, write your text for you. You know, there's like, predictive test text, and it kind of sucks ass now, but, like, you'll probably be, like, able to text, can you grab me? And it'll just, like, fill it in, right?
B
Because when Ben types something out, it really just fills in details around what he said. However, it was all grammatically perfect.
C
Yes. Pretty.
A
Ask the AI system why Micah threw up in. In your office. Why did Micah throw.
B
It's so specific.
C
It's gonna think you're a rock.
B
This is an impossible question to answer given the limited information. You would need to ask Michael why he threw up in order to get an answer.
C
We did ask him. He won't admit it.
B
Yeah, I lied about it.
A
Okay, hold up. Write me a story about a business partner who got drunk and threw up in his partner's office. All right, this will be the true story. Since no one seems to know it.
B
This is the accurate story.
C
John had known his business partner, Joe for years. They had worked together on many projects and had been successful in their career. One evening, Joe and John decided to celebrate the success of their latest project with a few drinks. Neither of them intended to drink too much, but before long, Joe had had a lot, much more to drink than John. Joe, uncaring uncharacteristically and still drinking, decided to head back to the office to continue the celebrations. Noticing how much Joe had to drink, John wanted him, warned him against going back to the office. But Joe insisted he was fine and made his way there. By the time John arrived, it was too late. Joe had gotten so drunk that he'd been sick all over John's office and was passed out on the floor with a bowl of rice. John was beyond furious and horrified with the.
A
Oh, right, Shut up.
B
No.
C
Oh, this is a huge mess. That one could potentially hurt their business if word got out.
A
Yeah, what were you two sneaking off, going back to your office for? Joe and John.
C
John was able to clean up the mess, but it didn't solve the underlying problem. Joe was too drunk to work, and John had to find a way to keep the company from damaging damaging business. He decided to put an embargo on the office, only allowing himself Joe in.
B
What? That's beautiful.
C
Yeah.
A
Yeah, I'm gonna start doing this.
B
So that's what I love about it is, like, you give it a little something and. And it gives you a very proper, well worded, with big words, grammatically correct response or paper or story to anything.
A
I'm gonna start using this for all my podcast responses. You guys are asking me a question. I'm like, one sec.
B
Ben's like, yeah, but I mean, and that's just one avenue of like, AI, like, that's wording. It can write you stories. I remember Ryan mentioning something a while ago about, like, lawyers using. Using it.
C
Yeah. So I saw a thing on, like, Twitter and it was basically like, all you had to do is like, type me a lease. And it would just like, type up a whole lease agreement in like a second, which you would normally have to pay like, thousands of dollars for.
B
Right. Which for stuff like that. It makes sense. It's almost like all that information is cut and dry so that the. I could do that to it, like.
C
Some days off of old information.
B
I worry that, like, one day, not to a full extent, that I could take my job. It's insane.
A
I mean you just.
B
Now you can go to jumping. No, no, no, no. Just the graphic design. O but you know, you go to a thing and then say like create this and then it just does it.
A
Create a logo.
B
It just does it. Obviously it doesn't fully take the job of, of the creativity mind of a human, but like it could, you know, it could take the generic logo illustration right out of artists hands, which is.
C
Kind of cool, kind of wild because creativity is like the hardest thing to make up. Like you can't. Well, I guess apparently you can, but you can can't code creativity, right? Coming up with something new. It could probably just reuse old stuff.
B
Or I guess that's kind of what it does. But it produces so many different versions of it that either one you're bound to like or two, you're bound to take inspiration from.
C
So are you telling us on this very podcast in this one 40 minute span that you threw up in Ben's office and you're also easily replaced by the Internet?
B
I think so.
A
Not doing yourself much faster.
B
I know.
A
Like I started diving into giving advice.
B
Tip of the iceberg on this AI.
A
Stuff, which I just. It's a computer, it's ushering a computer. We took Mike, you guys would have.
B
Hey, all I gotta say is a computer can't throw up in your office and lie about it.
A
You are right.
C
You are right about that. I'm just. Mike, you are truly an invaluable member to this team too funny.
A
God damn.
C
But it is funny.
A
Just showing all of his cards. Good thing you don't work anywhere else, Mike. You convince them to be like, yeah, you know, we don't need him. Which is not over here. I was talking to Justin or our good friend Justin. He is a electrical engineer in a place that he used to work at. I was always like, so like what project are you working on? And one time he was like, oh dude, I'm. I'm building this robot actually that is supposed to be like so smart. He can do this and this and this. And I was like, isn't that your job? He's like, yeah. And I was like, are you building a robot to take over your job? Like self sabotaging. He just, he just starts taking his time. He's like, I'm going to take my whole career.
B
No, I remember him talking about that. He genuinely was building a robot to like replace what he does. But luckily he can keep building robots to do more jobs. But still code that Was accurate.
A
This. This robot is going to have a real temper problem. It's going to be hard to work with.
B
And if you rush him, he's going home early.
C
That's what God did when he made Evan.
A
So what's the deal here? We got a little trip plan for the end of the year. Little celebration. We're taking. We're taking the first week off of the. Of the year off. The only week we take off for the whole year. Where are we going? We're going to Florida. Who's all coming for that? And my real question, before we even get into that, are we leaving our nipple piercings in, or are we taking them out? Because I'm not trying to be the only guy there have took his out.
B
Okay, I took mine out.
A
Yeah, I took mine out, too. No, you didn't. Yeah, I did.
B
Mine fell out, and I just didn't.
A
Want to put it back in.
B
Yeah, I took mine out.
A
So no nipple rings. All right. Okay. Well, that answers that. Are you take. Hold up. What do you mean? Are you taking yours out? Well, I was gonna be. Dude. How I viewed it is like, dude, if we roll up to a beach bar, all of us.
B
You're right about looking cool, huh?
A
No, I was just thinking about it, like, realistically, what's the point of me keeping my nipple ring in at this point?
C
Just to be the laughingstock of people.
A
You know, you're not going to be a la. So that's what you thought?
B
That's kind of what I mean. I'm like, Ryan.
A
No, no, no. I was just like. I don't know. I don't really see a point of keeping it in at this point. All right, well, I. I kept it in because I thought that the only reason all of us should have them is if we did, like, a shot of all of us having our nipples pierced, which we never ended up even doing.
C
Didn't you guys even get a picture?
A
No, we did.
B
It's kind of sad.
A
We need to make. I'm not gonna lose my. Actually, we need to make a Instagram reel of all of us going, like, really quick of us all screaming, getting our nipple bears. Dude, it's, like, actually wild to think that, like, all of us have. Pretty crazy had our nipples pierced, though. It's like a year ago, though. If you said that you'd been, like, under what context?
B
Like, well, that's what I mean. Even at a younger age, let's say, like, at 14 or something, I'd be like, yeah, one of the strive never, ever Ever. It's just, like, off the list. Yeah. Something like girls do, but.
A
Well, I'm just glad because only Ken's going to be the only one there with the nipple piercing.
C
Are you going to keep yours in?
A
I took them out. As soon as I heard yours close up. As soon as I heard that those two took theirs out, I was like, it's done. It's a done deal. And I took it out and I had to take a pliers and like, unscrew was super in there and it felt weird, but I was like, I don't want to have up nipples because I hear that's a thing. It's a permanent hard and they are kind of up. I'm not gonna lie. I would say, yeah, mine is messed up.
B
Yeah, mine looks.
A
Well, I have two of them. Rocker. That's why I was kind of trying to get an assessment. But realistically, Ken's only one nipple ring. Evan, yours fell out. Should we just have Evan hop?
C
Yeah, have a hop on here. We'll have the nipple boys on for a little bit.
A
I can get off. I got pee. I got to pee, preferably. Guys, I know this has been a long awaited thing. We said we're going to wait till 150,000 subscribers, but we are gaining subscribers at an alarmingly slow rate on this podcast. So we're going to bring Evan in to say some really important stuff. Evan, get in here. I know you've been dying to talk, man. Ever since last podcast. You had a lot to say there too. Hop in, bro. You're not gonna take your shirt?
B
Wait, you guys got him a shirt? And he rolls up wearing a pretty sick shirt, too?
C
Nice.
A
That's what I'm talking about.
B
Dick, too.
D
I thought this one was funny because it says do milfs, not drugs, but I like to do both.
A
You do in fact, do that.
B
Wait, you got that pre broke, huh?
D
Dude, I got so caught up in the T shirt, I forgot I was standing over a plastic chair. And the second I sat down, I felt the leg almost kick out.
B
Did you have that pre broke?
A
Yeah, I took a side. Oh, that's what you were. I got too aggressive with this. I had to tape it back together. Together. All right, so real talk here. What do we got going on here for the end of the year? Little celebration we always take. For those of you at home, if you aren't aware, we always take the first week off of the year to go on vacation and just do whatever. Do whatever the hell you want. And we're going to Florida but it seems like there's this whole divided thing. It's like, Ben, you're not coming. You and Gret aren't coming? No, no, no, no. It's like, who wants to go on vacation? I was like, oh, I don't know, man. I might not go. No, I'm coming now. Oh, you are?
C
Yeah, yeah.
A
So is your girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We booked the tickets last night. Mike, you're not coming or what? No way.
B
No, I wanted to. Things didn't work out.
A
Fair enough.
B
But it's looking forward to the time off.
A
What are you going to do? That was my thing. Like, with all of you guys leaving, I knew if I just stayed back, I would kind of just like end up hanging out at the shop. Kind of just like doing what I normally do. And I was like, oh, man, I got to like, take advantage of the off time in some way.
B
I mean, I feel like I add more stuff to my to do list every day than I complete, so I'm gonna take that time to do that.
A
Also, no days off with Mike do.
B
Love chilling at the shop. I mean, you guys know like 365. Genuinely love chilling at the shop, but I'll just chill back.
A
Mike chills at the shop.
B
Dude, I own this fucking place.
D
Don't worry, Mike.
A
4:00Am he's roaming it.
B
I own this place.
A
Keeping an eye on all the zombie.
B
So Evan will be. Evan will be back here with me and we'll just keep an eye on it. Dude, we have like 19 things to fix. The razor needs to be fixed. The banshee really needs to be fixed. The throw.
A
Do we have so much broken.
B
Needs to be fixed. Like, the list goes on and on. Like I said, add more stuff to the. So anyway, just going to say back.
A
Just going to.
B
Just going to grind. Just going to chill, to be honest.
D
The real question is, how do you guys feel about me and Mike holding down the terrible week?
A
Terrible. Doesn't feel very good. Not proving yourself well at all. I might change the codes and lock you guys both out.
B
Yeah, that'll be really funny.
A
Like, I mean, obviously security here just to stay out and don't let these two in here.
B
I'm just imagining you. So, like. Yeah. What security would you send?
A
Like someone that actually rust 100? Well, his name's Ross, actually. But Russ, I would.
B
It wouldn't stop me.
A
Russ would have some other things to say. What are you gonna do, Mike, if we have security posted up at the door? What are you gonna do?
B
Outsmart them?
A
House.
B
How So I know the place ten times better than they do.
A
What are you gonna. Like, like, what's. Give me a game plan.
B
I mean, I would run, trick him. I would. I would try multiple times.
A
He's like a fox.
B
Yeah, dude.
D
Find your way through a bowl of rice. How are you gonna break into the shop with armed security?
B
But it's also funny because if you guys have hired security, it's like. It's like, I don't get in trouble with the cops. Like, my name's partially on the building, so it's like, I'm not going to go to jail. So it's like, I just have to outsmart these guys.
A
We're going to set the DNR up. They'll find a way to ticket you.
B
Although you guys are just like, I. You didn't. We didn't say who we hired. Yeah, they're going to beat your ass if they catch you. We'll hold down the fort. Whether you guys believe it or not.
A
I don't at all. Let's just send the carpet cleaners in before we come back.
B
Yeah, if you guys want, that'd be great. Carpet cleaners. Ain't no harm done.
D
Yeah, just book that, actually. Yeah, just get that locked in.
A
Take all valuables out of here. So. So did you guys see in our Seaboz TV DMS that kid that. Well, I don't even know if he's a kid. He might have been a man, but he hit us up and said that there was a Corvette Z06 coming in.
B
I saw Ben sent it, and it. It is some pretty monumental information as far as.
A
Yeah, if we could get that, that'd be sick, dude. And I. I know I talked a little bit of trash on the. On the Z06 Corvette initially.
B
I don't know.
A
This might have been a couple months ago. I. I am, because I saw the video, and honestly, they're. They're sick. They're so sick. And I never said they weren't sick. It was just like, for how much money they were. I was like, why would you buy a Corvette for that? You could buy something, you know, like a exotic or whatever. Something a little bit cooler. But I don't know. They're pretty damn cool. Well, we. I think someone needs to take it up on the. If we have an allocation sitting there. And they're like, hey, do you want this or not? Someone needs to grab it.
B
So he basically said he was legit. It's coming in.
A
It's like, that's.
B
I didn't even Know what color?
A
He says black.
B
And so that's a big deal. I mean, I know you've been just trying to get your name in for one, but you guys, both of you keep saying, like, someone needs to jump on that. Like, I'm gonna be honest right now. It's not gonna be me. Yeah, I love it. But of course, like, it's not gonna be me. It's not gonna be Evan. So, like, let's. Let's start kind of narrowing down on who. Who would take that out like that. Sorry.
A
He's not.
B
He's not mine is.
A
He put his dirt bike in the passenger seat.
B
Yeah.
A
Just imagine, dude.
D
The only car I'm driving is an El Camino.
A
I don't even think that's a car.
B
I don't even know if it is a car.
A
That's not a car. That's a truck.
D
What are the requirements?
B
I just got there.
D
Two wheel drive. That sounds like a car to me.
A
It's a pickup car. No, if it has a bed, it's a pickup.
D
But the cab is a car at the front.
B
Huh? It's car. That's always going to be up for debate.
A
That one's up for debate. No, I think Ryan's taking it. I already pledged him to it.
B
Yeah, that's what I'm kind of getting at. I was like, well, it seems like you two checked out kind of when the real. They became real. And then you're like, ryan. Yeah, that's you then, right? Yep. Yeah.
A
Dude's got all this Coors money. Dude. Ryan's gonna be like, rich friend Ryan. He's gonna be like 2000 Coors Light and bluechew. He drinks a lot of Coors Light, and then when he gets home, he always pops a Blue Chew.
B
Man, it sucks getting roasted on the podcast, especially when you're not on it.
D
The liquor makes it not work, but the bluechew does.
A
It's a collaboration.
D
The way the liquor. The Blue Chew collaborates.
A
In my tummy. They came in as one. If this doesn't get us blocked, dropped from our contracts, I don't know what will. They'll pay us double to shut up. Driving this home.
D
Looking like 2005. Gucci Mane in the Hummer.
C
I'm only six feet away. Okay, you guys should talk me this much just because I don't have a mic.
A
We're not talking. We're just talking.
D
Dude, I compared you to Gucci mane. That's a good thing.
A
I'm sorry, guys.
B
It's okay.
A
I don't know what's going on with this podcast? No, but I do want to take back what I said about the Corvette. CJ, I think 6 Corvette is really cool, bro. You were killing me tonight.
B
It came and went.
A
This dude, bro, this guy gets a perm, and he's a goddamn comedian. I don't. The perm has to do with anything.
B
Dude, get it together, bro.
A
I don't know. You guys are like, sorry.
B
You're good. All right, so now that we finally have not been Evan on the podcast, you know how you're kind of the troll master, can we just bring up briefly the story of Evan, like, kind of getting you? Because, like, I'd never get.
D
No, not kind of getting.
B
Yeah, yeah, getting, getting.
D
I got him good.
A
Yeah, I got. I can tell it.
D
I think you should tell it.
A
All right. Okay. So in the last podcast, we were talking about Liver King, and I briefly mentioned that the other day I had liver, and it was terrible. The story behind it is it had to have been at least six months.
D
Ago, Honestly, maybe nine months ago.
A
It was a long.
D
It was the hog day when that started.
B
Oh, okay.
D
It was that same meal.
A
What a glorious memory. When we found out that Evan was a fraud. We'll get into that later. But Evan is like, yeah, liver is good. I'm going to order it here on the menu. We're out to eat. And he gets it. And I must have just been on the other end of the table, but Evan, I guess, gets it, and he finds out that it's the worst meal ever. He choked it down. And then I missed that. He was like, this is terrible. And I must have gone, hey, how is it? And you. You went, it's so good, dude. I'm gonna get this every time. And then CJ and Ken both chime in like, dude, I had a piece. Is delicious. And I was like, oh, I'll have to try that. So then for the next six months, Evan, every single time we went to eat, Evan was like, hey, you gonna try that liver and onion? And I'm like, I'm not really feeling it. So finally, the other day last week, we're out to eat, I order it, and Evan is sitting over there just like. Like, in disbelief that I finally ordered.
D
Yeah, I never said anything all day, though. You did it on your own accord.
A
Cuz you'd said, like, probably 35 times like, dude, you should really order.
D
But only, like, it's really good.
B
We went.
D
I didn't want to overdo it. And just.
A
Yeah, you didn't have to get it. Just a beautiful a.m. it was done flawlessly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like a long play and so much respect for it. And I order it and I get the meal and I take a bite, and I literally put it into my mouth, and I was, like, chewing it. Oh, my God. And I look over and Evan's filming me. And he goes, how is it? And I immediately go, no. Oh, no. This was a troll the whole time. He's getting better. He's getting better because he's been a weasel little rat for the longest time. And he. He trolled me after six months, and he put in the time and he put in the work and he got me. And honestly, probably more respectable than Evan doing it.
B
Ken.
A
Yeah, I was going to say this is a collaborative effort.
B
Yeah.
A
You got to hand it up to Ken. Ken didn't ruin it, which is equally as amazing. He didn't spoil the beat. Yeah, yeah. I couldn't believe it. I was just in disbelief that Evan1 got me. And then I look over and Ken is pointing and laughing too. And I was like, no, wait, this was a collab effort. And then CJ's laughing, Mike's laughing, and I was like, wow, the whole team was in on this except for me. So, like, I got to tip my hat to you, Ev. Seriously, well thought out, well played, and I actually have respect for you.
D
Thank you, Ben. That means a lot coming from the troll master. It took me six months to get one, but I got it and it feels so good.
A
Crazy. You got me still, weasel.
B
Oh, my God.
D
Call me whatever you want. I still got you once, rat. That's fine.
A
Weasel. Piece of shit.
D
It's not the same when you call me a rat, but you don't do this.
B
Oh, that's the worst. When he just looks at Evan, goes.
A
You gotta get in here, Ken.
B
CJ's got a piss.
A
I got pissed, too.
D
Hey, just don't, don't, don't use the toilet. Septic's full, man.
B
Septic is full.
A
Times are tough.
B
Yeah. So, cj, how am I related to this? I was wondering the same thing.
A
I was wondering the same thing.
B
I genuinely think CJ just hyped up Ken to be. He goes, you need to be in here. This is about you. It's not about Ken at all. Doesn't have anything to do with Ken. He just needed to pee really bad.
A
Do you remember when you ghost rode the Indy across the driveway and then it launched off of the chump?
D
I'll never forget.
A
Over the trees that was my first stunt. Was it?
D
I think when I came aboard. Yeah, I think that was like the first thing we did.
A
That's right. It was just me, you and cj. Everyone else was.
D
I was sick.
A
Yeah. That video basically got posted in a Polaris indie Facebook group that loves these snowmobiles.
B
Very specific.
A
Very specific. But, like, I went and looked at the comments. There was 330 comments on this. And there's like a thousand members of this group. Of this.
B
Oh, my gosh.
A
Yeah. Of this indie group. So I was like, man, they are very passionate about.
D
I bet they didn't say nice things about me.
A
They weren't super happy. So Most of the 330 comments are just negative. Like, you know, old guys like, oh, disrespecting such a beautiful machine.
C
These things are the best thing ever.
A
Yeah. There was parts left in that, like, what. What a waste. This thing could have lived for another 50 years. Which is what I was expecting kind of reading the comments. But what I thought the funniest comment was is this guy goes into it and he screenshots the thumbnail of the Polaris Indy being lifted up by the helicopter. And he goes, I hope this makes some more people cry. And then he links the video to it with the thumbnail of it, because that's an indie getting. Yeah, yeah.
B
It's like, what is the.
A
Yeah, he just wants to see the.
C
World burn, I guess. Like, just. Just let him have his day.
D
Whatever happened to freedom? Like, if you buy something, can't you do whatever you want with it?
A
Yeah, you would think. But there's still going to be people offended by that. By, like. I mean, the same thing with yesterday. Like, why were you so worried about us launching that R6? Because it was, can't we do what we want with it?
B
That one had true. It's the emotional ties. The one.
A
It's like, if you have emotional ties to it, though.
D
Yeah, no, I had emotional ties to that R6. You know, we've been through a lot, but if we're being real, we were launching it into the neighbor's lawn. That's the part I was sketching about. But we can cut that.
A
It's not as lawn.
C
Cj, you fucked up this chair.
A
There's a complete wheel just missing off of it. Easy with the potty mouth here, buddy. All right. So the other day we were talking on the podcast about stories that have happened that we, like, held from our parents. But off the podcast afterwards, Evan came up to me and was like, dude, when you guys Were talking about this. I had the funniest story of when I was a kid and I was like, stop, stop, stop. Just tell me on the podcast. I've been waiting for this moment. Ryan's been like, oh, we're holding out till 150. So I've been holding this for a while. But where were you going with that story?
D
I was younger, I was still in high school. And I would sneak out all the time. Like all the time. Go hang out with my girlfriend, hang out with whoever, just do whatever I wanted. And one night I. I sneak out and my girlfriend would pick me up a couple blocks down the road from my house. I'm walking down the sidewalk. It was kind of irrelevant, but like a cop drove by and it's like 11 at night. There was maybe curfew, so I was a little sketched out.
B
How old were you? Like young?
D
16, 17.
C
Okay.
D
And so I kind of like dip around this bush, whatever. Like go back onto the sidewalk and roll my ankle on a, on a crack.
B
While you're getting picked up?
D
Like on my way to get picked up.
C
Yeah.
D
Like 11 at night, I just snuck out of my parents house. I walk a couple blocks, see a cop drive by, and then like just roll my ankle so bad and like it hurts terrible. I like limp over, get it, get in my girlfriend's car, like go back to her house, stay the night there, taking ibuprofen. And it hurts so bad. Like I think I need to go to the hospital, but I'm like, I can't just go to the hospital and then tell my mom. What? So she, my girlfriend drives me back home at like, I'd always sneak in at like 5, 6 in the morning before my parents would get up for work, go to bed for an hour and then go to school. So I sneak back in the house immediately, go to the bottom of the basement stairs, make a bunch of noise or whatever.
B
And besides this part of this. But that's, this is a decoy then for you. Yeah.
D
So it's actually like 10, 10 hours after the, the injury happened. I recreated the injury in my basement going down the stairs.
A
Oh, like you fell down the stairs?
D
Yeah, or something. I just said. Well, it made sense. Like I rolled it on the edge of a sidewalk. So I'm like, I rolled it on the edge of the stair.
A
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
D
And mom brought me to the hospital. My foot had like a hairline fracture in it, so like not that big a deal. Got put in a walking cast or whatever.
B
A boot?
A
Yeah.
B
But you Broke your. I just love how you broke it. Like, sneaking out. It wasn't no shenanigans or anything. Like, there was no. At this point, were you even running from this cop? Like, you were just, like, moving quick or what?
D
Yeah, exactly. Like, I was.
A
No shenanigans at all. He was just speed walking away from speed walking.
D
The only shenanigan would be, like, if our town had a curfew and I was out, like, too late. Maybe the cop would have stopped me, but I don't think he was even looking at me or knew I existed. It was just in my head, like, oh, I gotta be sneaky. Go over here. Oh, my ankle.
A
So you faked rolling your ankle down the stairs for your mom to bring you to the hospital, and she never questioned it?
C
Nope.
A
Does she know it to this day or she listening?
D
I did tell her, like, oh, like, years later. Like, probably my early twenties or whatever. When you, like, you tell your parents all the. You got away with one of those things?
A
Yeah.
D
Gotta get that hair. I did this and that. Like, her hinges on her garage door squeak like crazy because no one's there to WD40 them anymore. I used to keep those things just greased.
B
Okay. That was a complete other side of the spectrum. You're like. Yeah. You know, you're like 25. Guess what? You know why your garage door hinges never squeaked? It was me the whole time.
A
He's like, no way.
B
Oh.
A
Oh, you were doing it to sneak out?
B
Yeah.
D
I keep the doors lubed up so they didn't.
B
It didn't cross my mind.
A
I thought you just. I thought you were just greased. Oh, you did too.
B
I thought you were just being nice.
D
Just grease on my list of chores. Grease the hinges.
B
Yeah.
A
Mike's trying to go now. Yeah. Joke's on you now that I'm at the house.
B
So you did that so you could sneak out? I'm surprised you used a garage door to sneak out, but that's smart. No, not at all.
D
But the one time it backfired. Exact same scenario. I'm getting brought home at 5:36 in the morning in the middle of winter. And I'm coming in the backyard. I. I'm looking at, like, our kitchen window from about 75 yards away, like, through the bushes. And I see a face looking out the window like. And there's lights on in the house. I'm like, oh, my God, they. They seen me. So I'm wearing basketball shorts, and I did have a jacket on, but I'm, like, laying below the four foot snowbank that the snowplow left. And I'm just high. I peek my head up, it's like, oh, it's still there. And I duck down. And then after like 10 minutes, I hear the snowblower running in my driveway.
B
Okay.
D
I'm like, this is really bizarre. And I look up a little more and I can see my dad snow blowing the driveway in the front yard. And I'm hiding in the bushes in the backyard. And then I really look at the window and realize that's like a life size window cling of Santa Claus and it's made to look like his hands. And he's peeking around the window. But I was so nervous when I saw the face. I just ducked right away and I'd look up and see it and oh no, they're still looking. So then I realized I live my dad. I waited. It was like a video game. My dad's coming down the driveway and I just wait. And as soon as he turns his back, I just shoot right in the house behind him.
B
You came home early enough in the morning that he was snow blowing.
D
He got up to snow blow before work, I guess.
A
Ryan, hop in on this one. I got one more, one more sneak out story to tell. All right.
C
I pick up my brother from the bar.
A
Okay, all right. No, you can stay. Evil. I was, I don't know, sophomore in high school. And I had Ryan and my buddy Sam over. They come over, we're hanging out and we had like a couple of girls that were neighbors. And I think we must have like snuck over to the girl's house and we were there. I should say I was there till like maybe two or three. And then I went home, went to bed. The next morning I wake up to my dad standing over me being like, get your ass out of bed. We're having to talk. And I'm like, oh, this isn't good. I'm like trying to think of like, what do we do? Did I get caught? I'm looking, I look over and like the guys are like sleeping and I'm like, they're here. Like what? What happened? And long story short, I leave. These guys stay and it's like 5 o' clock and they're, they're hanging out at this girl's house and this girl's dad comes down and like catches them.
C
Like all in bed together at like 5am too. It was like an unreasonable time for him to be awake.
A
They're like all in bed together popping bluetooth. This girl's dad and My dad were. Are, like, best friends. So he's like, ryan, Sam, I think you guys should leave. Like, go home right now. So Ryan is. Sam, leave my. He probably, like, calls my dad and tells him. I was like, hey, I just caught, like, so and so, like, like, in bed. Whatever sent him home. And so.
C
And his daughter had went to bed, too, so it was like, the friends that had really all messed up. So, Jimmy, her dad wasn't mad, and then your dad wasn't really mad because you didn't mess up and his daughter didn't mess up, but we were just the idiot friends that messed up.
A
Yeah. So I wake up, and my dad is like, like, questioning me, like, what was going on last night? And I was like. I came home, I went to bed, the rest of the guys, and. And, like, he was like, okay. It didn't really, like, care. And he was like, all right, let's. Let's go. We're going up to Ely, which is, like, northern Minnesota, right? So. So this trip was, like, planned, but he was like, all right, let's head out. We're going up to Ely. And when we leave, I hadn't really said anything to Ryan or Sam. Yeah.
C
I think your dad took you out of the room to go have this talk, and then you guys basically left briefly after that. We were tired from being up all night, so we just woke up and you were gone.
A
Yeah. So I'm gone, and I'm, like, way up north without cell service. Ryan is back home. Like, where did Ben go? He just disappeared. Cj, The. The creative genius he is, comes up with engaged to possibly the best troll of all time. He goes, oh, yeah, you didn't hear? Yeah, Ben got sent off to a boys camp.
B
No, you would say that. That's.
A
Hop in on this.
C
Yeah. So he goes, oh, you guys said. To a boys camp up in Ely. And I go, the best part was.
A
That I knew there was a boys camp up in Ely. There really is, like, a boys camp where they send troubled kids. So, like, he's going up to Ely. Yeah, he's going to a boys camp. I guess he's gonna have to spend school year there. And Ryan felt all bad, and so I'm.
B
It was right before school, Labor Day, something I did. Yeah.
C
And so I'm texting Ben, yo, dude, what's up? All this stuff. Ben's got no cell service, so he's not responding to me. And I'm like, oh, no. Oh, no. So me and the other guy are freaking out.
A
We're on Our way up. And my dad was like, hey, you should text Sam and tell him that I'm pissed and I'm going to tell his parents. And I'm like, like, that seems, like, a little far. I know. And he was like, no, it'll be funny. I was like, okay, you guys, really?
B
Yeah.
D
See where he learns from dad?
A
So I text Sam, and I was like, just letting you know, my dad's gonna tell your parents.
C
And he goes, no, if you don't tell him first. That was.
A
Oh, is that.
C
Yep. We had to tell the parents first.
A
Oh, God. Okay.
B
So then Sam, I'm sorry, when he said that, like, what did. Like, what was he gonna make? What was your plan to tell your parents?
C
Like, you know, I think kind of the pitch was like, your parents are gonna find out. It's gonna be a lot better if it comes from you to probably try to teach us a little lesson in honesty. And I'm like, that I'm dying. I was like, I'm not gonna hanging out.
A
Caught the week before sneaking out, so.
C
I was already in the doghouse, dude. I was a repeat offender. You were getting life in prison.
B
Are you ready to be it?
A
I told you, at the end of that day, I just kind of let you ride it out because it was entertaining for me.
C
Before I went home, you were like.
A
Hey, I didn't want you to spill the beans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I text Sam that. And then probably, like three minutes later, I text him back, dude, I'm just kidding. Like, he's not gonna tell anyone. You're good. And he. So I send that three minutes later, and he text me back two minutes later and goes, dude, are you kidding me? I just told them. They're so. They're so right to him and told them, yeah, yeah. Sam gets grounded for, like, the next month. 2 months. Phone taken away. He was like, all right, well, this is my final message. Like, I'm getting my phone taken away. And my dad is like, damn. He's just, like, kind of silent after that, you know?
B
He's like, he. He responded to him in three minutes. Couldn't have predicted that.
C
Dude. He just went right. Just told him right away.
B
That is something like him to do.
A
So funny.
B
Nothing wrong with that. Either be honest now or later, but you got to do it eventually, but in three minutes.
A
And I was good, too. So you never. That never went anywhere.
C
You never never told him? My whole family was in town. It was Labor Day weekend. It was like, this whole thing.
B
Thing.
C
I was like, I am not going down.
A
Dude, my dad still laughs about that. Him and his buddy laugh about that. Saying, I walked in there, I was naked. No, I'm just kidding.
C
The little story embellishers.
B
They are.
A
Dude.
B
I can't say there's a reason.
A
Yeah, say it. Say it. Say it.
B
They.
A
They had their tents pitched.
B
We'll see you later on.
C
Freaking story embellisher. Don't do it, Evan.
B
They.
A
They intense fish.
B
Did he say that? He did.
C
Yes, but we did not. We did not. Oh, man. On that.
A
I haven't heard that side of the story. All right, dude.
C
On that note, this one's been a ride, fellas. You truly, you got to see a late night conversation with the boys. So thanks for watching, thanks for viewing, thanks for subscribing. We'll see you next time.
B
Peace.
