[Ben]

love a man with a quad bro. That have a little gay twist to it.

[Ken]

It is a quad song, I guess. I mean, it makes sense.

[Evan]

Couple people are going on blast for what they've done. Yes.

[Mike]

Oh, well, I got a shop.

[Ben]

Dudes just love shops.

[Ken]

And.

[Mike]

And we really love shops in the Midwest.

[Ben]

I bought a car.

[Ad Voice 2]

No.

[Evan]

No way.

[Mike]

No, no. Don't tell me now.

[Evan]

All right, welcome back to the Life Wide Open podcast.

[Ben]

We have a bag.

[Ken]

Whoa. Thank you for opening us up.

[Mike]

Hitting it from the back.

[Ben]

Thank you.

[Ken]

The front. Mike.

[Mike]

Hell of an intro.

[Evan]

Came backside of most of the cameras,

[Mike]

so thanks for having us. Hope you're ready to do some Googling today because we're probably gonna need it. I'm.

[Evan]

I'm ready to chat. GPT. I'm ready to call out a couple people. Oh, I got a couple people on blast.

[Ben]

Yeah, Ken's coming with receipts today. I know that I'd hate chat.

[Ken]

GPT.

[Evan]

Oh, no. I. A couple people are going on blast for what they've done. Yes.

[Ryan]

Fired up.

[Ken]

At least.

[Dalton]

I. I know I'm one of them, but I'm excited to see where.

[Ben]

What happened?

[Ken]

Let's hear this.

[Evan]

So Evan has been driving my Bronco for the last few weeks because he neglected his own raptor. And it's. My Bronco started having some issues and

[Ben]

he worked with the ops.

[Dalton]

Don't forget that part I did not work with.

[Evan]

So drop it off the dealer to get some issues Fixed. And they tell me one the driver's seat is blowed out.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Ken]

That's actually true.

[Mike]

You have that and written?

[Evan]

No, it just had a small tear in it. But I was like, just replace the seat cover.

[Ryan]

Maybe it was the knife. Your knife friend.

[Evan]

The actual problem, which they said they have never seen before on a Raptor.

[Ryan]

I hate when you have a problem and someone goes we've never seen this problem before.

[Ken]

Like shut the up.

[Evan]

The Entire. The entire rear axle is blown out.

[Ryan]

What?

[Dalton]

That's what I was telling you. There's oil leaking out of it.

[Evan]

They said the only thing holding the wheel on was the brake rotor.

[Ben]

That's what I thought.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

How the frick did that even happen?

[Evan]

Yeah, they said they've never seen that before.

[Dalton]

Well, I mean, definitely from when you've caught air in it.

[Evan]

I haven't jumped it in like probably two years. I know. Probably a year. Last time that thing saw the air, we didn't have a paved driveway.

[Dalton]

I mean, do you think that I somehow managed to.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Dalton]

Snap the axle driving down the highway?

[Evan]

Yes, I do. You managed to break everything in the dumbest ways possible.

[Ken]

I would say he probably wasn't driving it down the highway. I bet you you were doing some,

[Evan]

some dirt highway or what was it?

[Dalton]

Bro, there is no way I. I'm

[Mike]

actually on your side. But your track record speaks so well.

[Dalton]

I know.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

I literally have no legs.

[Evan]

I told Jake and he's like, yeah, I don't even know how you would do that.

[Mike]

I don't either. That's what I'm getting.

[Ken]

That stuff doesn't just break driving down the highway.

[Dalton]

Like I've broken the rear axles in a Jeep and in my Chevy cooning them off road.

[Mike]

Right.

[Dalton]

But like that has to be from taking an impact at a. At an earlier point. And it just somehow made it this long. Well, if they've never seen it, there's no way it happened from normal use.

[Evan]

What, what's your definition of normal?

[Dalton]

The frickin cruise control from point A to point B.

[Mike]

You should have put a dash cam in there, Ken.

[Evan]

I should have.

[Ken]

Well, you kept getting those notifications.

[Evan]

Didn't you drive it every time you drove that thing? I got a notification that there was something wrong with it continuously until we brought it into the dealer, which was. And I never got any of those notifications before you started driving it.

[Dalton]

Bro, it's just like the craziest coincidence. I. I know it's hard to believe for anyone, even myself, it's hard to wrap my head around.

[Evan]

He told me they have to replace everything from the drive shaft between the drive shaft and the wheels. So, like, the brake rotor and caliper is cooked. How many miles are 23,000 miles?

[Dalton]

So it's. That's actually impressive under warranty, though luckily,

[Evan]

he said they're going to figure out how to warranty it because that's not an item that should be warrantable.

[Ben]

That's good.

[Evan]

Like, it's under warranty, but it's like, that's not an item they ever replace under warranty.

[Ben]

So it's. It's not going to cost you.

[Evan]

It shouldn't.

[Ryan]

Well, then if you get the bill, it won't be so bad.

[Ken]

You could just send the bill to Tony and Jake. They'll pay for it.

[Ben]

That's a good point. It's a good point.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Who is responsible for this.

[Mike]

This bill?

[Ben]

If there is one, I want to

[Evan]

say the guy that was driving it.

[Mike]

Or you could split it four ways

[Ben]

or you could maybe get Gavin.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, Gavri Ken and Ev Ryan.

[Ryan]

And then. Well, I drove it like last fall, so I was probably honestly harder on it than Evan.

[Evan]

You dropped this thing off with basically no gas in it. It has 16 miles of range.

[Dalton]

That seems shorter than when I dropped off. I swear it had 40. But it was like, in a pinch. I told you I was going to get it detailed. I was going to fill it up. And then you're like, oh, Jack's at the dealership right now. You got to go meet him. So then I just went there.

[Mike]

Yeah, you did have a big day that day.

[Ryan]

Have a bunch of fuel in it.

[Dalton]

I mean. Yeah, I mean, I still plan on getting it detailed for you, you know, once you get it fixed properly.

[Mike]

All right. You got anybody else on your list?

[Evan]

Oh, we'll save that for later on.

[Ryan]

Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. Suspense retention bonus. Good job.

[Ken]

I'm trying to think what I did. I'm like, is it me?

[Evan]

No, it's not. It's not usage. And nobody else asked because it's. It's going to be unexpected.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Evan]

Okay.

[Mike]

It's always so interesting.

[Ben]

I am on my. The edge of my seat when you don't know.

[Mike]

Like, I got locked out of my WhatsApp account the other day because some of my messages, I guess, went against the community guidelines. And now my account's under review. I'm like, I thought you could send anything on WhatsApp.

[Ben]

I don't.

[Ken]

You sending my.

[Ben]

That's what I'm getting at.

[Mike]

I don't think That I sent anything incriminating or anything like that I shouldn't have. We just use it for sending designs and stuff back and forth.

[Evan]

I thought that stuff wasn't, like. They sold it as it's encrypted and they can't view it on that.

[Mike]

So anyway, I just thought that was weird, so. Oh, that's a little bit of a setback.

[Evan]

Like, that's what they advertise it for. It's like, secure communication that they can't view view.

[Mike]

And it's been great for.

[Ken]

That's actually wild.

[Mike]

Communicating with our merch team and stuff. But now I'm locked out of it.

[Ken]

I have a buddy who got. He's not, like, on social media necessarily, but he just uses it to, like, communicate. But he's on. He got his Snapchat and just for messaging with, like, another buddy, like, to sell him a gun. Like, he was selling one of his guns to.

[Mike]

Fully banned.

[Ken]

Got fully banned. Like, the Snapchat's just gone. He can't even make a new one. Just happened like, a month ago.

[Ryan]

The worst part is you lose all your stories or your snap memories, which

[Ken]

is a deuce, and you can't make another one. That's actually the second friend I have that.

[Ben]

Yeah, Cody.

[Ken]

Well, Cody. Oh, third and the.

[Dalton]

Oh, yeah.

[Ken]

Like, it's been years for him. But, like, straight up, they just make. I don't know, they remember your IP and you can't make another one.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, yeah, it's. It's similar to, like, losing your phone number. Like, you essentially have to get a new phone number and you have to register a different phone number with that account.

[Ken]

So you just have to get a whole new.

[Mike]

Cody registered his Snapchat account to his dad's number. Since his dad didn't have Snapchat.

[Ryan]

That's why it came up in his dad. It was like, add Cody's dad on Snapchat. I was like, I don't think I'm gonna do that.

[Ben]

Okay, that makes a lot of sense, too. And also, I have a couple numbers for Cody. And occasionally, like, on Mike's bachelor party, I tried calling it facetiming. I tried facetiming Cody because Cody was sitting at the other end of the boat and we just kept, like, messing with each other. And I kept, like, you know, like, chirping them, basically. And I was gonna. I was gonna FaceTime him, wait for him to answer, and then chirp him, say something. And so I'm sitting there, I hit FaceTime, and then I'm looking across the boat, waiting for him to see that I'm FaceTiming him. And then him look up at me and I was getting like, getting ready to, you know, flick him off or something. And I looked down after like 30 seconds of Cody not answering the phone, I was like, oh, he must not have his phone on him. I look down and it's Cody's dad. Just like, like, just straight face staring up at me. Cuz I have my phone down here. And I look down, I go, whoa, what the. He's looking at me. And then I'm looking at him and I'm like, oh, this is going to be funny. So then I walk up to Jake and Cody. I get up and I walk across the boat and I just put my phone up, still on FaceTime with Cody's dad, and into Cody's face and Jake's face. And then they see who's on FaceTime. And then they start crying, laughing. They're like, what is going on? The whole time none of us said anything to Bruce. That's Cody's dad. He didn't even say a word. He wasn't like, hey, what's up?

[Dalton]

Nothing.

[Ben]

He was just like, I didn't say anything cuz I was like, what, what am I going to say? Like, oh, I thought you were Cody. You could say, hey, been like, aren't you with him? And then they didn't say anything. We just all sat there and laughed and pointed at it basically. And then I was like, all right, see you, Bruce. And hung up. So imagine how confused he was by that. Yeah.

[Mike]

And I answer his call, the Sherbrooke's. They're pretty funny.

[Ben]

Yeah. So anyway, every time I, I try and get a hold of Cody, I'm not sure if I'm actually, I'm talking to Cody or Bruce now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I have your mom in my phone is Micah's mom. And it's been pretty close where I've almost called her instead of you.

[Mike]

Oh yeah, that makes sense.

[Ryan]

Bad name.

[Mike]

I have a couple of people's moms in my phone as that.

[Ken]

It's such a pain in the ass when people like change their number because then I have like Cody Sherbrooke 1. Cody Sherbrooke 2.

[Ben]

Yeah, Cody Sherbrooke, new.

[Ken]

Cody Sherbrooke, newest. And I don't know if he's necessarily changing four times, but like, especially when

[Mike]

it's someone that like offers services, let's say they offer car detailing and they get a phone, new phone number. And you're like, I Want to get my car detailed? And you text them, and then you're like, yeah, they never got back to me. And then you found out you texted their old number.

[Ken]

I don't know how, but some kid called and left a voicemail yesterday, and it was the first time. I think my phone number has been leaked.

[Mike]

You've been pretty good about that.

[Ken]

I get those. Really?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I know you guys. Your guys's numbers have all been kind of out there, but blown out. Mine, that was the first time. And I was like, oh, I paid

[Evan]

a service to work. It worked. I haven't gotten sick. Like, now I just get normal spam calls.

[Ken]

It costs.

[Dalton]

I paid for the same services, Ken, and it hasn't worked.

[Ryan]

He just took his money calls, find

[Dalton]

the stuff that they were supposed.

[Mike]

Would you be okay disclosing what that is?

[Evan]

No free plugs.

[Mike]

Okay, that's fair.

[Ken]

That's the.

[Mike]

I just.

[Ben]

What was it?

[Dalton]

Can, like, 100 bucks a year?

[Evan]

Yeah, it was like one or 200 bucks for a year or two.

[Ken]

Ken's was so bad, though.

[Evan]

Mine was real bad.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yours was bad.

[Ben]

You want to hear something crazy? Is one night I got a phone call, and I don't really get phone calls that often, so I answer it. I'm like, hello? And he's like, whoa, hey, how's it going? I was like, who is this? And he's like, this is so and so. Would you be interested in this product? And I was like, how'd you get my phone number? He's like, dude, I'm going to be honest. I work at a company that erases data off the Internet. So, like, I work at that company that Ken just mentioned that he probably hired the fuck. So he was like, essentially, I just go in and, like, erase your data, but I can find anyone's information.

[Mike]

And he was a fan.

[Ben]

He's like. He's like, on the back end of it, bro.

[Ken]

He should be fired from his job. He's doing that.

[Ben]

I know. I was like, I. I literally go, bro, what the.

[Ryan]

Like, can you delete mine, please?

[Mike]

Be in the hand.

[Dalton]

I said that.

[Ben]

And he was like, well, maybe if we work a deal, like, with his product. And I was like, yeah, I don't know. He was a nice guy. So I. I heard him out, but he was like, well, you want me to wipe your. Your information off? I was like, yes, please. He was like, all right, well, maybe we can work a deal. I was like, well, I'll just hire your company then.

[Mike]

Oh, I do. I. I'm genuinely Entertained by it. I don't get that many. I get a lot. I just had, like, a kid call me. He goes, I'm 13, huge fan. Looking for an internship, bro.

[Ben]

Like, you're what, middle school? Like a middle school internship?

[Mike]

I know.

[Ken]

After school program.

[Mike]

Yeah. I was like, can you imagine? Yeah, we'll fly you out.

[Ben]

We'll. We'll.

[Mike]

Yeah, we'll put you in the shop. And he's 13. I mean, yeah.

[Ken]

Like, a Jen could teach him.

[Mike]

Well, yeah, I mean, I got a job when I was 14, too, but, like, it's got to be something local, kind of under the table.

[Ben]

Maybe like a pizza shop, Dairy Queen, dishwash action. You know, you have to be a certain age to get a job. Like, what is it, 16? 15?

[Evan]

In Minnesota, it's like 14 with limited hours, and then I think 16. They can work normal hours.

[Ken]

Yeah, I was working. I think I like, 15 in North Dakota. Like, just unlimited hours. You could work as much you wanted.

[Mike]

It is obviously difficult when you can't drive. You know, when your parents got to bring you to work. Like, it's cool having a job, but, like, sometimes it's just for character development.

[Ben]

Yeah, I was. I was working at the c store at 13. My only mode of transportation was dirt bikes. So I would say I was just riding my dirt bike from my house to the C store for work.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, that's like bushes.

[Ben]

And then I got jammed up with the cops, and that put a really. To my. Yeah, they had.

[Mike]

I got to lower my hours. Sorry.

[Ken]

It had to have meant something to him, though. When you're like, I'm just trying to get to my job. Like, if I was. I was wearing a sheriff, and I'm pulling a kid over, and it's like, okay, he's going to work at the cormorant store. Like, I would be so much more lenient than just like, he's clearly just out ripping up. Like, the dude's just trying to make some money. He's working a job.

[Ryan]

You lived eight miles from the C, so we're supposed to bike there every day.

[Mike]

I'm just using this to get to work. But on the weekends, my boy Ben's having a heyday on his dirt bike in the ditches.

[Ken]

Used to.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Ryan, what do you got here? These guys are funny.

[Ryan]

Okay, so when you talked about, like, putting kids to work, this is Robinson Truck and Repair. But they got these little kids, and I was thinking, I mean, if we're gonna hire a fleet of middle schoolers, we just have them do little ads like this.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Is your truck stuck in a ditch and your boss is being a bitch? We can help you with your truck.

[Ken]

Maybe you need a tow and your wife's at home.

[Mike]

We can can help you with your

[Ben]

toe here at Robinson. We understand Rainers toe. The truck's got to go.

[Mike]

We have a 24 hour record.

[Ryan]

We can get you hooked up and

[Mike]

get those viewers moving.

[Ben]

So give us a call. We do it all.

[Mike]

And don't get stuck in your truck.

[Ryan]

He almost held it into the end. Yeah, they have a bunch and they're blowing up on TikTok 1.31. A lot of million view videos out there of these two.

[Ken]

That's awesome. But yeah, maybe we have them. We fly them out and have them do a merge plug.

[Ben]

Every other word would be beeped out.

[Mike]

Right. I mean, it reminds me of the girl.

[Ken]

It's kind of funny though.

[Mike]

Little Mason, you know, he was just. He was just a good old boy, I mean, who was like ripping decent swear words and man, were we entertained.

[Ken]

He's actually. I don't know if he's 22.

[Ben]

He's graduated.

[Ken]

He's old, though. Like, I think he's over. Yeah, he's got to be 22. You're probably right, Ryan. He was the one who delivered our sand for our beach when we were building the pond. And we. So, Mason, for like a backstory, like one of our fifth videos, we just went and rode with some subscribers that had invited us out. You know when you only got like 5, 600 subscribers and someone reaches out like, hey, you want to come ride with us? And they live like an hour away. You're like, yeah, sure. So we go and we went riding with them and there was this little kid there named Mason. He's just a hoot. He was just funny and was kind of out of potty mouth. And now he's full grown. So anyways, he's. He shows up in this big dump truck full of sand, like, Mason.

[Ben]

Yeah, what's up?

[Ken]

What the hell? You know, it was. It was awesome.

[Mike]

Yeah, we see him around whenever we. We. Whenever we part out old trucks. He shows up to buy the parts.

[Ben]

He's still like 14 tops in my mind though.

[Ken]

No, he's. I'm pretty sure he's a kid.

[Ben]

Dude, he has kid.

[Mike]

No.

[Ken]

Are you sure?

[Mike]

I'm not sure, but okay.

[Ken]

I don't want to spread misinformation, but I'm pretty sure I saw on Facebook he was a kid.

[Ben]

I guess it wouldn't surprise Me. But people like that are just, like, forever kids in your mind.

[Ken]

Let me just double check this.

[Mike]

Yeah, definitely something we should get to the bottom of.

[Ken]

He just goes out. He's like, dude, why did you tell everyone I have a kid?

[Evan]

You ready for the second call out?

[Ken]

I'm ready.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I kind of am.

[Evan]

So somebody around here, they kind of take it upon themselves to make sure the shop is clean and organized. Oh, and they are. Some would consider a plate. Leave your dishes out. They will certainly yell at you.

[Ben]

Okay, I don't know where this is going.

[Ken]

What is this?

[Ben]

I have no idea.

[Evan]

So Evan pointed out to me.

[Ken]

I know where it's going.

[Evan]

Evan pointed out to me, hey, check who left this plate on the table over here one day after lunch.

[Ben]

Holy.

[Ryan]

I left one plate out.

[Mike]

That's your profanity.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. One plate out. Heaven forbid. How about the dishes that lay all over the place every other day? I know. That's actually funny.

[Ken]

I think it's me.

[Ben]

What is going on?

[Evan]

So I checked the security cameras.

[Ben]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Mike]

What's in the box? A plate.

[Evan]

An empty plate that they left behind.

[Ken]

Dirty.

[Ben]

Who's.

[Evan]

Dirty plate.

[Mike]

Who's they?

[Ken]

Okay, so we're all eating lunch.

[Evan]

Oh, I got to be.

[Ken]

There's a real mystery here.

[Evan]

Holy.

[Ryan]

We got. We got lunch cam.

[Ken]

We're all.

[Ryan]

We got lunch cam.

[Ken]

Everyone's got plates. Everyone's eating off the plates.

[Mike]

Yeah, Various areas. Oh, man.

[Evan]

They get up from their. Their lunch spot, and then they go sit on the couch, and then they walk away.

[Ben]

Oh, who was it? Who was it?

[Ryan]

Ken Ryan.

[Ben]

Oh,

[Ryan]

heaven forbid. A guy forgets a plate one time, the sink is full of dishes. Every single morning I come in here, I use one plate, one fork a day, and the place is a mess.

[Evan]

This is Evan. He was the one that pointed out to me, and I was like, okay, I can take a look at the camera. And I was like, it. Pulled the plate aside. We'll pond and bring it up.

[Ryan]

That is funny. Well, that. That's a good reminder that I.

[Evan]

Pick up your damn dishes.

[Ryan]

Pick up your damn dishes. And that I am also not perfect. Surprising.

[Mike]

I know you get a little leeway because the stuff we were watching on the TV was very, very exciting. We were reviewing some footage from video. Yeah. From last week.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And. And we. Yeah, yeah. It was trx.

[Dalton]

I actually did say that, too. Exactly what you're saying, Ken.

[Mike]

Immediately.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

We were excited.

[Dalton]

Like, there was a lot going on that day.

[Mike]

We were watching it on the TV because we were so Excited to watch back what just happened. So that's just how you know that it was legendary. At least it felt legendary to us.

[Ben]

Hey Ken, what's the saying about throwing stones when you live in a glass house?

[Evan]

Eventually your glass house is going to get stone thrown at it. I know.

[Ryan]

Well, I try to brick up my house. I try to stay bricked up, not glass.

[Ben]

Ken, I actually thought that you were going to come at somebody else on the podcast for a different reason. Not to just keep oh, man of, of fury here, but did you ever get to the bottom of who threw up in your wheel well?

[Evan]

I actually didn't, no. I, I kind of just left it at where it was.

[Ryan]

He doesn't have camera coverage there.

[Evan]

I don't.

[Ben]

That one's gotta ee alive, huh?

[Evan]

Yeah, it actually doesn't because it's. It's just funny.

[Ken]

Really.

[Ben]

Somebody throwing up in your fish house wheel well.

[Evan]

It's on the out. It's on the outside though. It's not. If they threw up on the inside to be a different story, you'd know who did it then it's on the outside. So it's kind of like eh. It's just pressure. Wash it off and it's fine.

[Ken]

Yeah, I will. I, I know I. It probably seems like it was me, but I, I will tell you, it wasn't me. I did throw up outside of your fish house because we were, we were over there one night and we were all drinking, whatever, and then I went over to Dave's fish house. Our buddy Dave, he had his fish house next to it. Dave fed me a pickled northern. So what a pickled northern is. Imagine you catch a fish, you don't cook it, you just put in a pickled jar. So like you fillet it. It was like a big chicken strip. I didn't realize it was uncooked. And he was just like very proud of it. Like, hey, I got pickled northern. You, you want some?

[Ryan]

And he's a good cook.

[Ken]

He had just recently. He is a very good cook. So I take his word for it when he says something's good, I'm like, I really trust him. And he is all. He had also just given me a. So I was like, oh man, I feel like I gotta, I can't tell this guy. No. Everyone else like, no, no, no. And you could tell he was kind of like, oh, like I wanted someone to try my pickled northern. Well, I ate it. It was so bad. Disgusting.

[Mike]

I can't wait.

[Ken]

A pickled northern. I just want you to know, like, imagine catching a northern mic. You fillet it and then you just take the.

[Mike]

The meat I've been eating and put

[Ken]

it in a pickle jar. You don't cook it.

[Dalton]

It's not what's up, Brian? You don't need to.

[Ken]

It's so bad.

[Dalton]

Just let it sit for a week and it's dial.

[Ken]

Well, anyways, I ate the whole thing 30 minutes, maybe an hour later.

[Mike]

That's. So it was more like.

[Ken]

They start talking about how it's not cooked and all this. I'm like, oh, my God.

[Mike]

So it was a nauseous thing. I was like, it probably just didn't sit right in your stomach because if

[Ken]

it was an hour later, it was that it was. It was of multiple reasons. But basically, we walk out. Alex is going to drive me home. I threw up outside of her car, and her car was parked so far away from all the ice houses because she's so afraid to be. She thinks if, like, she parks next to ice house, like, everything's gonna fall through. So, like, wow, you legit have to walk like a football field.

[Ben]

I was wondering why you guys are. Yeah, like a hundred yards away.

[Ken]

Yeah, exactly. So anyways, I threw up by her car. I didn't throw up in your wheel well.

[Evan]

I. I just knew that you were not feeling the best that night, so I. I just had to throw it out there. I do know at least four other people were also not feeling the best that night.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Ben]

It was like eight people.

[Dalton]

There were.

[Ben]

They were like half of them were throwing up.

[Evan]

Well, I think four of them. And it was. It's whoever also ate Dave's soup. It looks like they ate the soup, ran outside, and just immediately threw it up.

[Mike]

A lot of throw up going on out at Ken's fish house last weekend.

[Ryan]

But you like it?

[Dalton]

Pickled fish is delicious.

[Ryan]

I could see you, like, I could see that being a snack.

[Mike]

You kind of open it up a little bit. Because I've never had northern, but I heard like, northern's pretty. Not good fish to eat. Definitely edible.

[Dalton]

Super false.

[Mike]

Really?

[Dalton]

It's like, just as good as walleye. There's just more bones in it. So it's like a pain in the ass.

[Ken]

Gets a. I've eaten northern plenty of times. I just have never eaten pickled northern after 12 beers.

[Dalton]

But pickling them is good because you can leave a lot of little bone. They dissolve out.

[Evan]

Really?

[Dalton]

Yeah. That's why pickling, like, nice pickling.

[Mike]

Pickling.

[Dalton]

My grandma used to make it the best. Me and Cousin Joe would just rip a bunch of northerns and she had this big like one gallon jar, pickle jar, just filler full and. Yeah, I don't know, it was like a week or something.

[Evan]

You guys ever run ludfisk?

[Mike]

Not on purpose.

[Dalton]

I'm not a fan of that.

[Mike]

No. Like I grew up.

[Ryan]

That's a northern.

[Mike]

My grandpa cooked it for like every holiday and there my dad loved it. Yeah, yeah. And it just looked like gross. Like cleared. You have to eat it.

[Ryan]

No, like there was no other food.

[Mike]

No, no, no, no. Just many, you know, potatoes and meatballs and all that and ludfisk and. And I'm like, it looks disgusting. It smells disgusting. Like, why do we eat it? And then they tricked me one time and they like mixed it in with my mashed potatoes and then I ate it.

[Ben]

I was like, why would you do that?

[Ken]

And you liked it?

[Mike]

It wasn't that bad. Yeah, I don't.

[Ben]

I don't even know if I know what you guys are talking about.

[Mike]

You could look up a picture.

[Ryan]

Nationality. Are you never question that. I've never.

[Mike]

Norwegian. That's where lutefisk is.

[Dalton]

I know. Are you the Lutheran church in town?

[Mike]

Every year they dinner.

[Dalton]

I don't know what the exact.

[Ryan]

That's a very like balls mashed Scandinavian thing and lutefisk.

[Mike]

Yeah. Left. It's not good. Left.

[Ryan]

So they got left.

[Mike]

That's fire. I'm sure lots of people listening do know says it's like potato based tortillas that you like can put brown sugar and butter on or regular sugar or cinnamon.

[Ben]

Oh, so good.

[Ryan]

Ben. What are you?

[Ben]

German?

[Mike]

Really nice.

[Ben]

I think German and Swedish.

[Evan]

Dried whitefish usually code cod is decent.

[Mike]

Cod's decent.

[Evan]

Wait, they dry it and then they rehydrate it.

[Mike]

But yeah, one of my grandpa's like, yeah, we're having lutefisk pudding. I'm like, you should never make pudding out of fish ever. Ever.

[Ben]

What about tapioca? You guys like tapioca?

[Dalton]

Absolutely. The best pudding.

[Ben]

I love tapioca.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's interesting. It did get a little. I got thrown off one time when they were like, yeah, it's frog eyes and stuff in there. Frog eggs, when they put in there. But it's not. It's just like little.

[Dalton]

I don't know what the hell it is.

[Mike]

I don't know what it is either. It's like boba, but smaller. I don't know.

[Ben]

Oh, I love bobas.

[Mike]

Really?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Those are so good.

[Mike]

I don't know if I love bobas. I'VE never tried it actually.

[Ben]

What? You never tried a boba?

[Dalton]

What's a boba?

[Ben]

It's like the little balls that like dissolve in your mouth and they give

[Mike]

you extra big straws.

[Ryan]

Pause.

[Ben]

Oh, but you get it for like, you could get it like Fruity Tutti or whatever too.

[Dalton]

What kind of bars are you.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you know, you know those balls

[Ben]

at Fruity Tootie yogurt place.

[Evan]

Tootie Fruity Tootie.

[Ben]

[Ken]

Ben's favorite bar.

[Ben]

[Mike]

Probably run some tapioca back.

[Dalton]

Butterscotch pudding, though.

[Mike]

What?

[Dalton]

Tapioca all day?

[Mike]

Well, I mean, if you had.

[Ad Voice 2]

You're.

[Mike]

You're ranking them. Sure. But like, you're just not gonna eat butterscotch pudding. So good.

[Ben]

Well, boys, I hate to interrupt a good conversation. I bought a car.

[Mike]

No, don't tell me now.

[Evan]

You're just gonna tell us before you get it.

[Ken]

No, you got it.

[Mike]

Okay. Also.

[Ben]

You guys want me to tell you?

[Ryan]

No.

[Evan]

Honestly, no.

[Ken]

Yes.

[Evan]

No.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Evan]

Absolutely not. I just want to wait till you have it.

[Dalton]

All right, Ken.

[Ben]

So I will. I will say this. It's in Florida. We're going to have to travel to go and get it. I think it's. I think it's better to go there.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Get it from the dealer and then mob it around Florida.

[Mike]

Yeah. And it's better than it being in like bum tits somewhere else where we would never travel. We're going to go to Florida.

[Ben]

We are going to Florida. We're going to Florida in a couple weeks.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Cletus's race.

[Mike]

Right?

[Ben]

I mean, I could.

[Evan]

No, don't. Don't tell everyone. That ruins the surprise.

[Ken]

We'll just let everyone guess.

[Mike]

I think I like not knowing. Unless it.

[Ben]

Okay, I won't tell you. I won't tell you.

[Evan]

Little red rigs.

[Ken]

It's a red Volkswagen Beetle.

[Mike]

Well, I mean, yeah, we can probably guess. Also, we all share the C Boys YouTube account. So when I get in my truck this morning, like I'm on the C boys account. It keeps our for you page very fun. And you guys know who Doug demero is. He reviews cars. So I like start my truck and Doug demuro reviewing a car that I won't name because I don't want to maybe spoil it. I don't know if that's it was you watching it and it. I just watched the whole video on my drive just reviewing a car.

[Ken]

You know, I actually do that quite a bit it too because with YouTube Premium you can just lock it. So like it was soothing. There's like YouTube videos I will just listen to just cuz like I don't really got the time to watch but like I can still listen and get the gist of it.

[Mike]

I have like a little magnet on the center console. I like peek over every once in a while. But yeah, it was so fun. I was listening to Doug Demiro. He has podcasts. But I was listening to his review like a podcast. I was just cracking me up.

[Ben]

You guys know how like Instagram has the for you page or your. Your discover page and you can scroll through and whatever is on the discover

[Mike]

page is like what you are.

[Ben]

That is your personality for the time being.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ben]

Like mine is a certain car. Bernie's Mountain Dogs. I don't.

[Ken]

I don't know.

[Mike]

Actually Ben showed me and it's like an absurd amount of Bernie's Mountain.

[Dalton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

So it's this car, Bernie's Mountain Dogs and then houses.

[Mike]

Let's just.

[Ken]

Just everyone has to open, take a screenshot and that's the.

[Dalton]

Whatever.

[Ken]

The first thing there is, Evan, is

[Ben]

like, I plead the pit and then

[Ken]

send it to Ryan.

[Mike]

Okay. Mine's looking pretty good actually.

[Ryan]

It kind of is making me look like I'm looks maxing. The top one is how to reach your full attractiveness potential.

[Ken]

I'm not surprised. Let me see.

[Ben]

Evan Screech.

[Dalton]

Why is that?

[Ben]

That Kind of like says what your personality is at the time, being what you're interested in. But being that we all share the same YouTube account, whenever I go onto the YouTube page and I scroll, I see what everyone else is interested in.

[Mike]

Kind of guess who's watching.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah, I know. Like, oh, Mike's looking at getting an exhaust for his Viper. CJ must be trying to figure out what to invest in for stocks. Mike is looking up bitcoin stuff or Ryan's looking up bitcoin. It's like I can just scroll through and know exactly. And also just going to the searches too.

[Mike]

Oh, the searches are very incriminating. I mean, not actually, but I feel

[Dalton]

like I might have influenced the music that the.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah, and the music.

[Mike]

Yep, yep.

[Ben]

The music taste. Lil Peep music video popped up. Oh, Evan and Dalton must have been playing pool last night.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

There's so much good stuff on there. I love it. I really enjoy sharing an account with you guys.

[Ben]

I mean, yeah, I think it's. I think we. It's overall a pretty good curated feed.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, we all are into

[Ben]

similar things pretty often though. Like, CJ will send a video in the chat that I've already watched because it's just like we're just on the same algorithm, so it's serving the same stuff.

[Ryan]

It happens a lot in the Instagram group chats that we have. Like, you'll send something and then like three things above that I will have sent it or someone else will send it.

[Ben]

Okay, so let's see. We'll. We'll know in the next couple weeks what the car is.

[Mike]

Heck yeah.

[Ben]

I think it's. I think it's more fun like that if I.

[Ken]

Everyone's got a gag.

[Evan]

Are you driving it back or you haven't shipped?

[Ben]

Well, I mean, I'll have it shipped. We'll go. We'll go and take delivery of it in Florida. Film a video. Unless everyone else buys cars in Florida.

[Ryan]

I'll buy a car in Florida. It's gonna remove a couple zeros from what you bought. But I'll buy something in Florida.

[Mike]

I would too. That'd be fun. We don't all have to.

[Ken]

Everyone buys like thousand dollar cars and then Ben's got like this. Another minivan.

[Ben]

Mike.

[Mike]

Yeah. I was like, we, we. There's passenger seats we could roll together.

[Evan]

I was looking at an auction site this morning and like one of the auction places in Texas is literally just pickup truck after pickup truck, and the one in Miami is just like strictly exotic sports cars. It was kind of sick to watch.

[Ryan]

I'm actually really jealous that you got into that. I've been trying to get into the vehicle auctions forever, except for, I don't know, it's hard to find a deal on there. I thought it was just cheap cars, but it's really not.

[Evan]

I was amazed, like, what these pickups are going for. Like, they're buying these trucks at auction for, like, what People are buying them either brand new or used. Like, they're not making that much money.

[Ben]

What is it?

[Mike]

This auction site called?

[Ryan]

Manheim.

[Mike]

Manheim. So that's pretty known, right? Yeah, the. So, like, when you're buying it from there, it's like buying it kind of like from a dealer.

[Ken]

It's.

[Mike]

Right. It's a little bit like.

[Ken]

It was like, you have to be a dealer.

[Ben]

Dealer to dealer to dealer.

[Evan]

It was like just a generic at 4, 2500. Went for like $110,000. It's like, there's nothing special about this.

[Mike]

Ken was showing me. I've never seen anything like it. You know, like, if you went on. Let's say you're bouncing between cars and bids and bring a trailer and you wanted a Rolls Royce, it's going to be like, one every couple months maybe. I don't know. Not often. And Ken shows me. He's like, watch this. He types in rolls Royce. There's 22 rolls Royce is like, either up for auction or about to be up for auction or within the next month.

[Ryan]

That'd be a sick commuter car for you.

[Mike]

I'm gonna need a roll.

[Ben]

Mike buys a Rolls Royce.

[Mike]

There's just. There's, like, levels to it.

[Ken]

Mike would buy, like, a 2001 Rolls Royce.

[Ryan]

Still sick.

[Ken]

That's like.

[Evan]

I was looking. Those Conan they had on there were sick. Like, there was a couple.

[Dalton]

Cool.

[Ryan]

They're a half a million dollar car.

[Evan]

No, these things are going for, like 180 to 200.

[Ben]

That's a Ken car.

[Ryan]

That is a camp.

[Ben]

A Rolls Royce. Cullinan knew.

[Evan]

They're like half a million.

[Ken]

Someone driving him around, what a drop. He doesn't drive.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah. I think those tanked.

[Evan]

Those. Those things tank like a rock.

[Ben]

I think most cars do more than others.

[Ryan]

Unless you sell or never sell. Never lose if you don't sell.

[Ben]

Good point.

[Ryan]

Speaking of, I got rug pulled.

[Ben]

Ah, you were so rich.

[Ken]

Yes.

[Mike]

What happened would be the definition of it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think so. So my girlfriend Alondra sent me this tik tok, and it was like some chick talking, and she was like, this Is going to make you rich. Buy this crypto. It's something. It's tied in with the oil reserves, I don't know, complete. And I go, h it. Okay, I'll. I'll throw a little money on it. So I. I watched it, and it slowly is growing throughout the day. Like 2x3x4.4x. I'm like, I'm a genius. This is awesome. I look at it and it jumps up to 11x. I had 11x my money, and everyone was telling me to sell prior when I was at, like, 2x.

[Ben]

Yeah, well, so keep in mind, we're sitting in a meeting and Ryan is like, holy boys. I bought this meme coin and it's worth $4,000 right now.

[Mike]

It's quatted.

[Ben]

And we're like, how much did you put in?

[Ryan]

They quatted.

[Ben]

He's like, $1,000. And we're. We're all like, sell, bro, sell. And he's like, no, it could go up more. 25 minutes later, he goes, Holy boys, it's worth $11,000. And we're like, sell, bro, sell. And he's like, imagine if I would have sold when you told me to last time. I'm riding it. And we're like, okay, he's got a good point, I guess. And then probably, what, eight minutes later, you were like. You were like. And it's worth $3,000 again.

[Mike]

So you're still up? Please tell me.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm up.

[Mike]

He held.

[Ryan]

I'm up 3,600 bucks.

[Ken]

Do you think it's.

[Evan]

Oh, so you're still holding?

[Ryan]

Plus, I sell my thousand diamond hands.

[Ben]

Ryan.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm just gonna keep hanging on. But it was such a ride, dude.

[Evan]

That was. It was crazy.

[Ryan]

11x. It was like gambling. But I mean.

[Ben]

Yeah, but you actually made money for the first time ever.

[Ryan]

Exactly. Yeah, exactly. It was like running roulette. But instead, I picked the right number for a little bit. That was pretty lit. Honestly, I bought a couple other ones too, because I was like, this is fun. They keep going up. This one's up 170, 68% since I bought it.

[Ken]

What?

[Ben]

It actually amazing.

[Ken]

What are you buying, right?

[Ryan]

I can't really say. Don't even want to say because they

[Ken]

are complete tank by the garbage.

[Ryan]

Let's put it this way. One is this bullshit tied to the oil thing, which is absolutely not. And then the other one is named after one of the new emojis that apple just released.

[Ben]

What's like the market cap on these?

[Ryan]

Well, it changes. I own 477,000 of this one. And I didn't put nearly that much money in the market. Cap is because keep in mind million. There's a billion billion in the circulating supply.

[Mike]

Some of these meme coins are worth, you know, like one coin is like.00001 fractions of it.

[Evan]

I'm still diamond hands in Doge as you have to. I genuinely have to, because I bought it at 43 cents and it's now worth less than 10.

[Mike]

That was the first time I'd ever heard of a crypto meme coin. Well, that too. A shitcoin anything.

[Ben]

I mean, you had to have heard about bitcoin back. We were buying Bitcoin in 2016 and

[Mike]

R. When did you buy Doge?

[Evan]

We were at a dinner and Ben and I were like, jokingly buying and selling it. And then I bought it and then it just tanked you.

[Ben]

Have you heard of day trading?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. So Ken and I were dinner.

[Mike]

Oh, I do remember that though. The first time that I. I bought Ethereum on Coinbase in Ryan's basement back in like 2017, a while ago.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It was awesome.

[Mike]

Yeah. And it did not pay off really well.

[Ben]

What if you would have held onto it?

[Mike]

I mean, I did still have it

[Ken]

roughly worth around the same.

[Mike]

I went up like a thousand bucks. Yeah.

[Ken]

Ethereum with inflation, dude, not. Not a good investment.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

At the time, I just wish I would have bought bitcoin. Ethereum did nothing. Bitcoin did something with Bitcoin.

[Ken]

Actually, as low as it is right now, if you bought Bitcoin in 2021, you actually would have paid more than what it's worth right now.

[Mike]

Yeah, Ben, like, it did go up, but I remember I bought like one Ethereum for like $1,200. And what's it at now?

[Ken]

1900.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Bad investment.

[Ben]

I see your point, Mike. You bought right at this little peak right here because that's way. It's like back down to 100 for

[Mike]

not knowing your things. People are like, yeah, Ethereum is like. It's like the little. Little little brother to bitcoin. I'm like, okay, that's gonna be good then too. But it just like, didn't.

[Ben]

When Ryan was saying that about the. The meme coin that he was buying yesterday, I was like, the only people that make money on any kind of meme coin is the people that find about. Finding find out about it early. Or the people make it or that make it, obviously. And that's the rug pull. But it seems crazy that Your girlfriend, of all people, would be like, she's

[Ryan]

tuned in on TikTok, on the pulse, on Tik Tok.

[Ben]

It doesn't seem like in her realm of. On her for you page.

[Ryan]

I think it was extremely inflammatory statements like, trump is going to make you rich with this meme stock. You know, like.

[Ken]

Well, you actually kind of followed through to some degree if you would have sold.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it did kind of work. Still up 300%, which, if you were thinking about if it was a safe investment, would be crazy.

[Mike]

Can't put a price on that.

[Ryan]

You really can't. Speaking of really poor investments, I have a stat that may. May surprise you, but may not. About Minneapolis. Minneapolis users spent 14.3 million, which is more than any other Midwest City. In 2025, Minneapolis is ranked as the fifth highest spending per capita city in the country.

[Ben]

On of.

[Ryan]

On of.

[Ken]

Some horny over there, huh?

[Ben]

Yeah, they got a bunch of bread down there all the day, all the daycares.

[Dalton]

Free money.

[Ben]

Spend that money somehow, Dude, I'd be blown.

[Dalton]

Yeah, so might just be a way of, like, washing the money. They're just washing it into, like, their own accounts.

[Ken]

Oh, true.

[Ben]

Oh, that's a good point.

[Ryan]

Do you unlock a new scale?

[Ken]

Wow, that was actually a good point.

[Ben]

Maybe that. Maybe.

[Ryan]

Maybe that's what it is.

[Ken]

There's got to be.

[Ben]

Next thing you know, cuts.

[Ken]

Evan's on the news. They're like, we have Evan Chef here

[Ben]

to bring you another.

[Ken]

He's a different perspective that we haven't thought of.

[Ben]

Nick. Shirley comes and interviews Evan. So what was that point you were saying about the. Of course.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

I have, like, zero proof, zero facts. I just threw a random conspiracy out there. My God, he's on to something.

[Ryan]

It's good for a couple million views on Tick Tock.

[Evan]

Hey, some of these crazy ones, they turned out to be true. You never know.

[Ben]

That is true.

[Ryan]

I was gonna bring up a crazy conspiracy, but I think it should.

[Ben]

What's it regarding?

[Ryan]

Well, that the moon is cheese.

[Dalton]

Oh, that is.

[Ken]

That's the stupidest theory I've ever heard. The moon is cheese. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[Evan]

How do you know it's not?

[Ken]

That's a good point, Ken.

[Evan]

Have you ever been there?

[Mike]

Oh, I suppose. And it's that.

[Ken]

No way.

[Mike]

And it's that color because it's already moldy.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You know, like the Statue of Liberty.

[Ken]

Can you imagine one giant thing of cheese floating in space?

[Dalton]

Have you never watched Wallace and Gromit?

[Ben]

No.

[Dalton]

There's a Whole episode on this. They build a rocket ship, stock it full of crackers, and shoot up to the moon because they were all out of cheese at home.

[Mike]

That's peak claymation right there.

[Ben]

So, Ryan.

[Ryan]

Yeah, bud?

[Ben]

We actually got a game for you.

[Dalton]

Oh.

[Ken]

Oh.

[Ben]

All right, Jack, if you want to bring these in.

[Mike]

O.

[Ryan]

Is it piss?

[Dalton]

Bull piss.

[Ryan]

Okay, I know what this is.

[Mike]

This looks fun.

[Ryan]

All right.

[Mike]

All right.

[Ben]

Ryan is our in house Mountain Dew lover. So in front of him, we have five different variations of Mountain Dew. The first one being Sundrop, second one being Mellow Yellow, Shasta, Mountain Rush, Mountain Dew, and Mountain Lightning.

[Mike]

All righty.

[Ben]

They're all mixed up. We're gonna see if he knows the difference between any of them. Shasta.

[Mike]

Dang, I almost forgot about Sundrop.

[Ken]

Remember Shasta? And which is the one Evan peed in?

[Ben]

Was that number three?

[Dalton]

Which one? Did I not?

[Ken]

Oh.

[Mike]

Oh, gosh. Do you remember the Snoop Dogg ads for Sundrop?

[Ben]

Drop it like it's hot.

[Ryan]

Should I throw out a guess just based on appearance?

[Ben]

I mean, that would be insane if you. If I totally did. Not the visual.

[Dalton]

I think you should do it. And we. Whatever. But we can't.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. But then it also would be insane if you, like, got them almost right or all right. By appearance and then tasted them and then got them all wrong or something.

[Ryan]

This is gonna be hard. Yeah, it's gonna be really hard.

[Ben]

Right down. Down in your notes.

[Ryan]

It tastes like off brand, I'll give you that.

[Evan]

Is it still carbonated, or do they get flats already?

[Ryan]

They're still carbonated.

[Ken]

Okay.

[Ryan]

I'm rocking Mountain Mountain Rush with that.

[Mike]

You can drink them all. You could switch them around.

[Dalton]

You know, set it, like, on the choice.

[Mike]

Yes. For now. You can switch these around later.

[Ken]

Ooh, he's got Mountain Dew out of the way.

[Ryan]

This isn't my final answer, Right?

[Mike]

Not final, but he thinks he may have found the Mountain Dew.

[Ken]

That's probably Sundrop.

[Dalton]

Maybe we need to get him some nuts or some bread or something.

[Ken]

I can just tell.

[Ben]

I mean, this guy loves Mountain Dew.

[Evan]

Didn't the Sundrop have, like, a distinctly different flavor?

[Dalton]

Yeah, my Sun Drop is completely different. Not in comparison.

[Ken]

It's almost like squirt, isn't it?

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dalton]

Sundrop is like a lemon.

[Mike]

Lime.

[Ben]

Okay. Ryan, how you feeling about this?

[Ryan]

Not good. I'm just really glad none of them were pickle juice. I was really expecting to get a shot of pickle juice on one of these. Okay.

[Ben]

All right, so let me reiterate this. Ryan loves Mountain Dew. Drinks it every single day. So let's see if he actually knows the difference between all the different variations of Mountain Dew for different brands.

[Ryan]

This one was actually, surprisingly, Mountain Dewey.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Ben]

Wow.

[Ken]

That would be the Sundrop.

[Evan]

What makes it Mountain Dewy?

[Ben]

If it was Mountain Dew.

[Mike]

But I've heard pretty good things about Mountain Lightning. I wouldn't be surprised if they were pretty close.

[Ken]

Straight up. Whose favorite drink is Mel?

[Dalton]

About that.

[Mike]

Yeah, because. Oh, it's so good for how cheap it is.

[Dalton]

Yeah, you get it in a 3 liter and it's flat before you even.

[Mike]

Who buys? Literally, you shouldn't be buying three liter bottles of soda.

[Dalton]

That's how they sell it.

[Mike]

But what about cans?

[Dalton]

Yeah, but like, at the dollar store would sell like, three liters of three

[Mike]

liter bottle of Faygo. Can't go wrong. Yes, you can.

[Ken]

You like Mountain Lightning? Ev.

[Ben]

No.

[Dalton]

Oh, not particularly. I mean, I drank it as a kid. My grandma would buy like, three liters of pop, and they'd just be so flat by the time you get into them.

[Ryan]

Okay, I gotta admit, complete hip shot. I was hoping that they were going to be like, Mountain Dew diet and, like, a couple other things like that, as opposed to just Mountain Dew and Mountain dude knockoffs.

[Mike]

That'll be for a sequel. We can do different variations of Mountain Dew.

[Dalton]

How will you know which one? Code Red and Limewire and.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah, you're right. That would be pretty easy.

[Ben]

Okay, the guesses are in. How you feeling?

[Ryan]

Did I get any right?

[Ben]

You did.

[Ryan]

Okay, six.

[Dalton]

If you confused Mellow Yellow, that's for actual Mountain Dew. That's gonna be like.

[Ryan]

That's gonna be a. Yeah, that's gonna be.

[Mike]

No way.

[Ken]

All right, Ryan, to be fair, I

[Ryan]

never drink any of them other than Mountain Dew.

[Mike]

As a Mountain Dew guy, you're not drinking any of these.

[Ryan]

Okay. Yep, I. I'm locked in. Lock it in.

[Ben]

All right, I will say this, Ryan. You got two out of five.

[Mike]

Okay?

[Ken]

Not just like, Evan and his beer.

[Ben]

And arguably the two that you should have gotten. Right.

[Ryan]

Damn it, you did.

[Ben]

Oh. Let's go. All right, the first one you said Mountain Rush.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Ben]

That's Sundrop. Okay, so you got that one wrong. The second one you said is mellow Yellow. It's mellow yellow.

[Ken]

Let's go yellow.

[Ben]

The third one you said was Mountain Lightning. It's actually Mountain Rush. The fourth one you said was Mountain Dew.

[Ken]

Yep, It's Mountain Dew.

[Ryan]

Yes. Let's go.

[Ben]

His Sun Drop. It's actually Mountain Lightning. So the two that you should have got right. You did get right, Ryan. And you're actually a Mountain Dew guy.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Congratulations. Congratulations.

[Ryan]

And the best part is, is I got to drink a bunch of Mountain Dew during this podcast.

[Ben]

Dude, how could it get any better?

[Ryan]

I'm all hyped up on Reboot and Mountain Dew.

[Dalton]

I hope they can, like, get along together.

[Ryan]

Oh, what do you mean? A lot of carbonation?

[Ben]

Reboot, Mountain Dew.

[Dalton]

I don't know. They just might be, like, chemicals or something in them that don't.

[Ryan]

This one is distinctly Mountain Dew. Like, this one, when I drank it, I was like, this one is Mountain Dew. Like, it felt. The way it interacts with your body.

[Ben]

You just feel it gave you tingles.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

So that.

[Ryan]

That was awesome.

[Mike]

I do.

[Ryan]

I feel like I should have played Sundrop. Right. But, you know, you live and you learn.

[Ben]

Well, it's all right. I think you did pretty good. Congrats, Ryan.

[Ken]

Thanks.

[Mike]

But nice.

[Ben]

Yeah, I've brought it up, but we. We just dropped an energy drink called Reboot Wide Open. In collaboration with Reboot, we got three of our own flavors. They're amazing. We've been drinking it for the last, like, six to nine months probably. And, yeah, we're stoked. It's so good.

[Mike]

So they come in tubs or packets. The packets are obviously more convenient. The tubs, you get a lot more. So each serving is 140 milligrams of caffeine. So it's nothing too crazy, but I'd say it's like, the perfect amount. But if you have a tub of it, you can mix it stronger if you want, or lighter.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's cool, though. I mean, we love energy drinks, and we've wanted to do something in the energy drink space for a long time, and Reboot as a partner just made the most sense. And also, most energy drinks are really unhealthy for you. And Reboot is not. Is. Which is great. It's got creatine and it's got alpha gpc. Yeah. So you get, like, mental clarity. You get focus. You get, obviously, the energy boost from the. The caffeine, and it's. It's not bad for you.

[Ryan]

I love that Alex. I was talking to her this weekend. She's like, when CJ drinks Reboot, he. He's like, talkative. Yeah, You. You get talk.

[Ken]

I get pretty talkative. Yeah.

[Mike]

But I mean, the biggest thing for me was, like, the convenience, cuz, like, I would make special trips to the gas station just to grab energy drinks for the next day or day or two. And now, like, I don't do that. You just mix it on the spot and you're good.

[Ben]

It's way cheaper, too.

[Mike]

Wherever you have water, you can make it.

[Ryan]

The packet thing, at first, we were all a little skeptical, but it really. Once you just start carrying around a

[Ken]

water bottle, I always have a water bottle with me.

[Mike]

Same. Or if you can have reusable water bottles. Yeah.

[Ben]

The thing about it, though, is it just tastes so good. Like, all the flavors for the original, like, reboot packet that you can get. You can get seven flavors in it. But we test it all.

[Ken]

It was fun. We had a bunch of flavors.

[Mike]

I think we tested, like, 20 different flavors. And so we'll.

[Ken]

We'll.

[Mike]

We'll probably come out with different ones and, like, limited edition flavors and, like, staple flavors. And I don't know. There's 10 to choose from right now. Three reboot wide open flavors.

[Ben]

But everyone that we've had try it, that's, like, obviously the first thing that they say is, wow, this tastes amazing. Which is obviously what you want to hear. And it doesn't have a bunch of preservatives and, like, color.

[Ken]

It's about as clean as it gets.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

No artificial dyes or flavors.

[Ryan]

So straight off the spec sheet, Kenny,

[Ken]

do you see this right here? That's from you, Ben. I'm still bleeding from when this dude cut me two, three days ago with his knife because he's. He's not certified, and he's flinging it around.

[Dalton]

That's why there's a old band aid on the floor.

[Ken]

I took it off because I. It was sliding off. I was going to pick it up, but was I going to put it

[Ben]

in trouble for a.

[Dalton]

This isn't a swimming pool. You can't just leave your band aids floating around.

[Ken]

Where did you want me to put it? I was not going to put it right here. And then. So I just threw it on the floor. I'll pick it up so you can

[Evan]

forget it on the floor.

[Ken]

I would say I made the least amount of mess at anyone.

[Ben]

Yeah, I'm not proud of this, cj.

[Mike]

But you didn't just whip it out and stab the guy.

[Ben]

He put his hand into my knife.

[Ken]

Hey, as the knife holder, it's your responsibility to make sure you don't cut anyone. Unless you're purposely trying.

[Dalton]

Digress a little. Ben, you have a knife. You don't need to yell.

[Ken]

Yeah, watch out, Evan. He might cut you.

[Evan]

I know.

[Ken]

It's flinging around.

[Ben]

I had the knife obviously flicked, and I was.

[Evan]

You're stabbing.

[Ben]

I wasn't Stabbing. I had it static. It was static.

[Ken]

I'm in the middle of opening.

[Ben]

CJ put his hand into my knife.

[Ken]

I think I was already opening it. He came in with a knife and just cut.

[Ben]

He was flinging his hand around, and I just so happened to be flicked.

[Ken]

It's called snapped, Ben.

[Ben]

Snapped.

[Ken]

Sorry.

[Ben]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Ken]

He's not. You don't even say it right.

[Ben]

Well, I'm not a knife guy. I just. I was gifted a knife. C.J. gave me this knife.

[Ken]

So I'm starting to regret it.

[Ben]

But. Dude, how many people have tried giving you a knife in the last two weeks? A lot.

[Mike]

Well, here's the thing. How many more are gonna. That's what I imagine.

[Ken]

I. I actually really appreciate it. There's so many. I'm very surprised at how many people that watch our videos and listen to our podcasts are knife guys. And there's a lot of, like, custom knife builders. And like, a lot of people want to build me a knife and give it to me. And, like, I really appreciate it. And I've. I've received so many, though, just in the short amount of time that I don't want. People, like, spend their time and money building me a custom knife because I have almost too many now. Like, I went from just like, discovering this new hobby, and now I have 80 knives. And I've been, like, trying to, like, every day gift them to other people and whatever. And then I really appreciate everyone who reaches out and, like, wants to either send me a knife or whatever. It's really nice. You. But just give it to someone else. But yeah, it's. It's crazy. It's the amount of people that seem to love the knife stuff because.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And I gotta say, if I didn't,

[Ken]

I didn't expect that.

[Mike]

If you are gonna gift CJ a knife, it shouldn't be a fixed blade knife as there's a time and place.

[Ken]

A lot of knives blade knives, but

[Mike]

you can't snap a fixed blade knife.

[Evan]

I want to see CJ have a knife for every day of the year if he can grow his collection of that.

[Ken]

I don't even have anywhere to put them right now.

[Ryan]

You could build an armory in your house.

[Ben]

Well, like, what are you.

[Ken]

Because I know that I'm very limited on space.

[Mike]

Kind of a shame.

[Ken]

Living at my house.

[Ad Voice 2]

Have a toteful.

[Dalton]

She get some glass cases and have it set up, like, know a knife shop.

[Ben]

So that is the thing.

[Ken]

You walk into my house, it looks like it's like a knife Shop doesn't

[Dalton]

have to be by the front.

[Ken]

I'm standing behind him. Like, which one you want to see?

[Mike]

He's got a cash register for some reason.

[Ben]

The kitchen counter. You. You hollow out the inside of it.

[Ken]

Oh, I am remodeling. I could do that, right?

[Evan]

Just throw out all your plans to the basement and turn that into your little knife gallery.

[Ryan]

It'd be a write off.

[Dalton]

You got to have a man cave somewhere in that house turn into a knife shelter.

[Ben]

I don't know if you can write off a passion, Ryan. Yeah, yeah,

[Ken]

it is funny. I saw this video the other day. It was like, when people say it's a write off, like, oh, yeah, just. Just buy it. It's right off. Yeah, well, I still have to pay for it, buddy. It still costs money. It's. The government's not just paying me to, like, I'm not just not. It's not free money. It's not really the same, but.

[Ben]

Oh, it's a write off. It's free.

[Mike]

Yeah. And I love when people joke about that. And some. It's interesting to think some people actually think a write off means that it's free.

[Ken]

When it boils down to it, yeah, there's definitely benefits, but it's not like it's just free.

[Ryan]

All the write offs I've been writing off weren't free.

[Ken]

I'm still bleeding, Ben. I'm bleeding. I'm going have to go in. Just kidding.

[Evan]

I'm not going to get stitches like three days ago.

[Ben]

How crazy would that be?

[Mike]

I would roast you for the next year and a half.

[Ben]

You got stitches, goes in and they

[Ryan]

put the band aid on them in the. In the hospital. They just put line for five hours and they go, yep, here's a little Neosporin and a superhero band aid.

[Ben]

Just give it to me straight, Doc. Am I gonna lose it? Lose it?

[Dalton]

Am I ever gonna be able to snap it again?

[Ben]

So you've been. A lot of people have came out of the. The woodworks, though, like, it's like Good

[Ken]

Stash people.

[Ben]

A bunch of new friends.

[Ken]

A lot of new people just hitting me up, offering to make me knives, offering to send me knives, tell me what knives to get. And then also just like, friends that I'm like, friends with on Snapchat will just, like, send me throughout the day, like a video. Them just snapping it. Like, I got a buddy who's an electrician. He just sent me one the other day. Him and his Milwaukee knife just snapped it and then like.

[Ben]

Well, that's what I've been seeing now. So many people on Tick Tock, like, snapping it. You're. You're like the snap guy.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's.

[Ben]

It's just a video of somebody snapping it. And it's tagged CJ Lozer. Yeah, I really.

[Ken]

That's awesome, man. I'd take honor.

[Mike]

Yeah. I mean, that's a hell of a lot cooler than freaking hot dogs play that much.

[Ben]

Everyone's got their thing, you know, you have snap, the knives. Mike, you got hot dogs.

[Ken]

Ryan, you got the hair and the

[Mike]

Mountain Dew and the singing.

[Ben]

Have you been seeing the hair comments? What are the comments?

[Ken]

What are the comments saying?

[Ben]

I just had a podcast just. They are literally just saying, like, nice hair. I like that it's a compliment if anything, but.

[Mike]

But it might not be, but you never know.

[Ken]

I think I wish I had hair. Like, you rhyme.

[Ben]

I would been seeing comments that literally just say hair.

[Ryan]

That's pretty funny.

[Ben]

Like, there's nothing to it. It's just hair.

[Ryan]

I was just in a podcast sales meeting with, like, all of the people that, like, work on the back end of the podcast. There's like 35 people in the meeting. And the lady who was, like, running it was like, yep, this is what the Life podcast talks about. And recently, Ryan's hair sitting there in

[Ken]

the meeting, his hair up, like, slicking it back.

[Ben]

Like, if I would have been.

[Ryan]

Got to explain an inside joke to him. My hair does look crazy. So I'm like, oh, fuck.

[Mike]

And if we would have been in on it, we would maybe laugh a little bit, but you're just like. They're like, yeah, tell us about that.

[Ken]

Well, this is my hair, so I like sponsorship, bro.

[Ryan]

Who's going to sponsor me?

[Ben]

Yeah, well, right. Cbdcj.

[Ken]

I did write you a new song about.

[Ben]

He's been cooking. Yeah.

[Ken]

Have you heard it really?

[Ryan]

No, I haven't. I must not have Recorded the master.

[Ken]

Well, so on one of the reboots, I believe it's the raspberry iced tea flavor. There's a scan code, and if you scan that, it brings you to a new Quad album.

[Ben]

That's right.

[Ryan]

That I've been working very hard on.

[Ken]

Actually, most. Most songs I. I wrote and produced, but one of them, actually, Jack. Jack did, really? Yeah, Jack. So I'll actually play you the one Jack wrote first here.

[Ryan]

I. I do want to say, before we move on, a quads profile has 11,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

[Ken]

Great. Well, you're going to have to add these songs.

[Ben]

Congrats.

[Ken]

Good job, Ryan. Proud of you, man.

[Ryan]

Thanks, bud.

[Ken]

You worked very hard for this. All right, so anyways, this is Quad Life. Jack made this one. I'm going to just kind of skip around through it. But it's a lit song. It's a lit song. Okay.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Quad in the building.

[Ben]

SE Boys tv, let's ride.

[Ryan]

Little shout out. You guys have to pay for that.

[Ben]

I love my quad get engine go loud Mud on the T. Snow flying

[Mike]

in the cloud Four wheel spinning While

[Ben]

I'm ripping through the town See Boys tv. Yeah, we shutting it down. I love my quad.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

The throttle stay pin full sand rider with the whole dang crew in life wide open.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You know, that's the bow. Ain't nothing in the world like riding my quad.

[Ken]

All right, I'm gonna just fast forward to a spot that really threw me for a loop that Jack had wrote.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Is Jack.

[Ken]

It threw me for a loop because I just wasn't expecting. But it's really funny.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Ken]

And I mean, you know, I guess he's kind of.

[Ben]

I don't know.

[Ken]

This is a song about you, Ryan. How much you love your quad and the things you do on it.

[Mike]

Gosh dang.

[Ben]

It was almost. Bro, bro.

[Ken]

So funny. Oh, my God.

[Ben]

We were listening to it back, and Jack was like, all right, I got one. I got one written here. We're listening to that. Have a little gay twist to it. Yeah.

[Ken]

It is a quad song, I guess. I mean, it makes sense.

[Dalton]

The only thing I noticed it was missing is, like, a line about I left my key on, so my battery's dead.

[Ken]

There was some lines about hidden reverse, but it just wasn't really working, you know, like, have, like, being a reverse quad guy, you know, like, need to have reverse on a quad.

[Mike]

So you pulled that one?

[Ken]

No, it just didn't flow that one. No, no. Key stuff.

[Ben]

I think we did. We did pull it, though, Ryan.

[Ken]

We did we? I. I told Jack might not be

[Ryan]

good for quads brand.

[Ken]

I told Jack, I said, hey man, like we really gotta probably take the gayness out of that one. Like I just take like it's a great song. It's a great song and I'm just envisioning like, you know, and there's nothing wrong with being gay, but I just envision most of our listeners and viewers like listening to it in their vehicle and like who really wants to as a straight man listen to a song about pretty boys over there, you know?

[Mike]

Yeah, it's just not true.

[Ken]

Or like a cute dude standing on the dock over there.

[Ben]

I guess I was more thinking about it from Ryan. Yeah, yeah, true.

[Ken]

I was thinking for like mass.

[Ben]

The mass listen, if they're listening to

[Dalton]

a song about four wheelers, they might.

[Ken]

Possible. Yeah.

[Ben]

But that was the thing too is like Ken kept pushing this, you know, new direction and like rhetoric on the producers, you know, because he's trying to get.

[Evan]

We're trying to appeal to the masses and you know, just try and get these album listens up and.

[Ken]

But I don't want to, I don't want to put something out there that the fans aren't going to like.

[Evan]

We're trying to show who quad really

[Ken]

is and all about just maximizing revenue and distribution. I'm over here.

[Evan]

I don't want to People all of a genuine.

[Mike]

On your own time here.

[Ken]

Yeah, we're going to.

[Evan]

People are all about the like the genuine thing, things that quad wants to sing about. And I, I just think pulling that's going to be. People want to hear what quad really wants to hear.

[Ken]

Let's just imagine you don't even listen to the podcast. You scan that, that raspberry ice tea thing. It brings you to quads thing. There's a picture of Ryan with his hair and it's all slicked back. It's all slick back. And then you're like listening to the song. You're like, damn, this is actually a good ass song. You're now two minutes in and starts talking about there's a cute boy over there. You're like, did I hear that right?

[Ben]

But then it keeps going. It keeps going.

[Ken]

Like maybe I didn't hear that right. And then all of a sudden it's like cruising past some boys at the gas station. They're screaming, no way. And then it goes. Pretty boys love a man with the quad. I think be like, all right, I'm not.

[Ryan]

Can you just unintention perform that in front of grandpa Ron.

[Evan]

What.

[Ken]

What the.

[Evan]

I think we just unintentionally, like, made a song that people are gonna be like, searching for for the next couple years unless we.

[Ken]

So do we leave this? What do you guys think?

[Ad Voice 2]

We.

[Ken]

I mean, we have the option. We have a. We have a. We have a version where the pretty boys and the cute boys staring are.

[Evan]

I think we. We gotta save it. Coded the album.

[Mike]

There you go.

[Ben]

This guy's always maximizing profit.

[Ken]

What do you think about. What do you want? What do you want?

[Ryan]

I'd prefer the. The quad.

[Ken]

Your face is on the.

[Mike]

Where instead of boys, they say girls.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, maybe. Maybe just focus on what's important, which

[Evan]

is the showing authentic quad.

[Ken]

The song talks about quads for three minutes. And, I mean, I will say that sometimes the. The boy factor with the quads does come with it.

[Ryan]

Who was the cute boy you were writing about, Jack?

[Ken]

Was it you?

[Mike]

Hey.

[Ken]

He's just a ghost rider. He's just a ghost rider.

[Mike]

That's pretty sweet, though. I did forget about that. The QR code on the Raspberry T does pretty sick.

[Ken]

I think every QR code actually brings you to a different thing, but. So you have to buy them, scan them, see what it does. But, I mean, you can listen to Riot, to Quad on Spotify, Apple Music, anywhere that you can listen to music. You don't have to buy the reboot.

[Evan]

Maybe for the next. Next album, we'll. We'll show the full release of the song, the original cut.

[Ken]

There's another song blowing me out here. There is another song here that. That we don't even need to play, but it's. It's another song that I wrote. It goes back to your rock sl. Screo. Sl. Punk style that, you know, you became famous for. And it's called Hands off the Hair. Quads Law.

[Ryan]

All right.

[Mike]

I can't.

[Ryan]

I can't wait to hear the final version on this.

[Ben]

Just give it, like, a little preview. Okay.

[Ken]

Yeah. Just a taste or even taste.

[Mike]

Just the intro. The intro of Hummerheart goes so hard.

[Ken]

You see the curls.

[Dalton]

But you don't understand. But you don't understand the rules. This ain't just hair.

[Ben]

This is quiet.

[Ken]

Kind of like motley cru.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I'm really glad because you guys. You guys could have done me so much dirtier with the lyrics. Like, I just. Every time the lyrics go, I'm like, oh, man. This is what rhymes.

[Ken]

There is one. One of my favorite lines is. Let me see if I can get to it.

[Ben]

Ken is obviously not Trying to work hard during. He has to. So as Ken's or as a quad's agent, you know, he's been trying to get him gigs for the summer, but he doesn't want to be like working every weekend. So he's just been asking like an astronomical rate to try and get just one person to get my bread up. Right.

[Ken]

So he has his bread up.

[Evan]

Quad is in high demand, Extremely high demand. We've only got select openings left.

[Ken]

So I actually had a friend hit me up. They wanted you to play at their little brother's 15th birthday party. It was a family birthday party.

[Mike]

That sounds about right.

[Ken]

Last Sunday I said I don't think. Think it's gonna happen.

[Evan]

Sorry, he's already booked up.

[Ken]

Well, also Ken. Ken's gonna get pissed if. If I start booking him and then it's like I'm cutting him out.

[Evan]

Quads. Quad's exclusive. We can't have him going to every little event left and right.

[Ken]

Imagine Ryan just showing up on his own time by himself with his one speaker and the Bluetooth mic to. On a Sunday night to some 15 year old birthday party. That's just the family there. Not even friends. Just a family gathering.

[Ben]

But if.

[Mike]

If we really wanted to get it going, could bring two speakers.

[Ryan]

All right.

[Ken]

I gotta find this line though.

[Ryan]

Good. Stereo, audio.

[Ken]

That's my favorite line. Bathroom counter looks like a salon war zone. Three kinds of gel and a chrome tooth comb.

[Mike]

Oh, chrome comb.

[Ben]

Dude, Ryan does not want to give us anything.

[Ken]

Here, here.

[Ben]

Oh, he doesn't want to play into this. He's just like. If I don't react, if I don't say anything until.

[Ryan]

Quit talking. No, no. I love, I love those songs. I think it's. It was a great expression of what the person I have become. Except for some parts. Jack. And then. I think it's. I think it's. I think it's good. I. I think it's. I think it's really good. We're going to expand the audience. You know, I think, I think Basement Riot was received well. Obviously Hummerheart, that's a staple.

[Ken]

That's.

[Ryan]

That's mainstream and so it's hard to capture lightning in a bottle so many times, but I think we've done it again.

[Ben]

Yeah, I mean, it'll be interesting to see where your career goes, Ryan.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's just really interesting to see what I will be doing next. I just can't even imagine what I possibly will do. How could we go up from here?

[Ben]

Oh my God.

[Ken]

I mean, there's Plenty of places we can go around.

[Ryan]

Oh, I know.

[Evan]

We're working on Quad at the Bank Stadium for the fall.

[Ken]

So opening for like a big concert or something.

[Evan]

No, no, he's the headliner.

[Ken]

Let's be real. He's probably going to have to at least be a runner up like today.

[Evan]

No, no, no. People are that interested in seeing Quad

[Ken]

live right before some really big person. And then Ryan has to go on right before when everyone's finally filled in, like, waiting. Who's this guy?

[Ben]

We watched a hockey game at the shop this weekend. A state high school hockey game.

[Ken]

It was so lit.

[Ben]

I don't know the last time that we all got together to watch something. And it's. It's pretty funny that it was like. It was a high school game. Minnesota State hockey is like the biggest thing in Minnesota.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And more had the school or town just like right down the road from us went there and they were. They're working everyone and they were in the state final. So like the whole crew got together to watch it together and it was lit. Dude.

[Ken]

There's just nothing like Minnesota high school hockey. They were playing in the XL center where the Wild play. The professional team there was. Every seat was sold out over like 20, 000 people there. For a high school hockey, that's crazy. I mean, it's just insane. And. But both teams that were playing, I mean, they're so good. It's unbelievable how good these players are. I mean, a lot. Like, I think like four different kids from each team are going D1. And I mean, I'm sure they're gonna go to the pretty check, but yeah, it's cool. Yeah, it was fun to watch.

[Ryan]

It's kind of like how Texas has like high school football. That's really hockey. Hockey is our.

[Mike]

I mean, I suppose people do that all the time. They transfer schools just for the sport that they're playing. They do that all the time in Morehead.

[Ben]

Yeah. And Dalton actually used to play for Morehead. So we're like sitting there with them and he's like, oh, yeah.

[Ken]

These are like, knew those kids.

[Ben]

My buddies I used to play with. But I think it'd be fun to go if. If they go back next year. I feel like we. We gotta go. That'd be so fun, dude. I know one thing for sure. And people hate Edina. And I don't. Like, you don't even have to be from Minnesota, apparently, because I was looking at like tik toks. They were all on my for you page after watching the Game. There's a bunch of different clips. And I started reading, like the comments on these tik toks of just random Minnesota state hockey teams, like Naughty, Naughty Dinah. And they're all just Dinah. That's kind of funny unrelated to them even playing. And then I read one that was really funny that just said, I'm a 41 year old woman that lives in Arkansas and even I know. Fuck you, Dinah.

[Ken]

Damn.

[Mike]

Yeah, I have seen plenty of tiktoks about that.

[Dalton]

There is a big discrepancy though, in some of these schools. Like, you get a War Road or Roseau or something like, I don't know, because there's obviously what, three different.

[Ken]

More smaller town categories.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

But I'm saying, yeah, these small towns against these big cities.

[Ken]

Yeah, it's awesome.

[Dalton]

Very small money against huge money. And yeah, you get some rivalries going there.

[Ken]

Which is cool.

[Dalton]

Which is awesome to see the little guys come out once in a while.

[Ken]

Yeah. And beat them. Yeah.

[Dalton]

Because War Road did.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

War. Yeah.

[Mike]

So a Dinah has a hockey team.

[Ben]

Yeah. And they're like, really good.

[Ken]

I mean, they probably have so many kids going out for their hockey team and make so many cuts. Like, you know, it'd be very hard to make it on high school.

[Dalton]

What section or is Edina Double A?

[Evan]

Same as Moorhead.

[Dalton]

But that wasn't the final game.

[Ben]

No, they played more, had beat them more.

[Evan]

Had played a diner the night prior.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Who did they beat in the final?

[Ben]

Morehead beat?

[Dalton]

It wasn't Minnetonka.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

But War Road won for single.

[Dalton]

Yep.

[Ben]

Well, I got a shop.

[Ken]

Oh, yeah, Mike, you bought that?

[Evan]

Congratulations.

[Mike]

I didn't buy it. I didn't buy it.

[Ben]

I saw your snap story, Mike. I was very confused. I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, I saw it. And it was just Mike standing there being like, well, I just moved into my new shop. I'm like, what the. You got a shop? Mike, like, usually this is like a decision that we make together.

[Mike]

Right, Right.

[Ben]

Of like, hey, we just got a new shop and I saw Mike was getting his own and I was like,

[Mike]

well, I mean, it's like similar to like buying a house. It's not a decision we'd make together.

[Ben]

Well, every shop that we've gotten up until this point. But it's a week.

[Ken]

This is.

[Ben]

Yeah, no, I know this is your personal shop, but yeah, I have a

[Mike]

one saw garage and I've been looking for a shop for a while, but I don't like. Evan made a good point. He's like, really?

[Ben]

You build Equity and really just build one or.

[Mike]

But, you know, which is true. I just don't know what I want

[Ryan]

to do right now.

[Mike]

So I'm renting one at srd, which is the first drift track that we went to before we had our drift. We still go there to the drag strip and stuff. So that's where it is kind of

[Ken]

on the way, though.

[Mike]

Yeah. Pass it every day on my way home. But my favorite thing about, like, getting this new shop, and it's similar to, like, your knife story. Like, people just kind of get on board, especially bros, dudes, males that are just like, yo, cj, it's dope that you're in the knives. I was at church, and this dude

[Ben]

just, like, it's dope that you got.

[Mike]

Congrats. Congrats on the new shop. And, like, I've only seen him, like, a couple times, and I'm assuming you saw my story. And then I'm getting, like, text, yo, bro, congrats on the new space. And I'm just like, heck, yeah. Like, this is dudes supporting other dudes getting their. Their own shop space.

[Ben]

Dudes just love shops, and we really

[Mike]

love shops in the Midwest. It's obviously not a Midwest thing, per se. There's shops everywhere.

[Ken]

But especially when you're a guy who is a Motorhead.

[Mike]

Yeah, I know.

[Ken]

You're a motorhead. You got.

[Mike]

It's damn near like, the pinnacles.

[Ken]

Cars, trucks, whatever. You know, weird things you bought off Facebook Marketplace. You need somewhere to store it.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it's got to be convenient because, you know, of the location being next to the guy that's, like, fixing.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ken]

Mike's got all this broken. He's, like, perfect now moving right over here.

[Mike]

Yep. Originally, that will fix. I made a couple calls on some shops in Fargo, Moorhead, which is where I live, and everything was falling through. Oh, we got rented out. But there was a shop right next to Red River Motorworks, which we go to all the time. And I'm like, how perfect would that be? And again, for. For all everyone, if we needed to hide a vehicle there, bring the giveaway vehicle there. I really wanted it, and I was ready, and they rented it out. I'm like, how nice would that have been? So the next best option was bringing it to or having a shop at srd, where my Corvette is now. So, like, bring the cars there, and then they can just. And there's a guy who details cars right next to me.

[Ken]

That's.

[Mike]

That's nice.

[Dalton]

So in other words, zero excuses for your drift Cars to like, not be

[Mike]

just, I'd say zero excuses. The tough thing is is need a

[Ken]

lot of your stuff over here though, still.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. So, like, it'll be like I'll park my Subaru there when it's done and then like, maybe one day I'll drive my Viper there and then take the Subaru.

[Ryan]

That makes sense. It's like your GTA garage that you've got, like, you've got garages around the.

[Mike]

I'm not really going to do that much in it as far as spending

[Dalton]

time, but it's nice. It's kind of like me not bringing my snowmobiles down here. Like now you can.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, that too.

[Mike]

Yeah. Stuff hidden and also just like. I just imagine this guy. I mean, you guys know, am I

[Ben]

going to do with your snowmobiles?

[Mike]

We'll run him over with a mega quad now, literally.

[Ben]

No, but that's what you run.

[Ken]

Yeah. Evan, before. Evan would ghost ride in front of it.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah. But I.

[Mike]

You guys know I don't move very fast and I'm not like that good at. I'm not that good at wrenching. Right. So, like, between those two things, like, I just. I want to get like some stuff. Like I want to powder coat my wheels on my Harley. But Lord knows, if I took my Harley apart in the shop, I sit

[Evan]

there for a while.

[Mike]

Yeah, it just would be. And. And I don't want it in anyone's way. And this is the way. Or even like my three wheeler. I waited so long to put those forks on that Gavin bent when he went over the rail, took it apart, the bearings just flew apart. I don't know how like Matt Armstrong does it when he's building these vehicles and he. And he like, ha. He has to wait for parts all the time. But like, how do you do these builds when the part you need is two weeks out?

[Ken]

Like, it's let alone just juggle. Knowing how to work on a Bugatti versus a three wheeler, completely different thing.

[Mike]

And then like knowing what part you need and where to get it and like. So anyway, it's just interesting. I'm trying to swap the forks on my three wheeler and it takes me a week and a half because I had to wait for the part to come from California.

[Ken]

It really will be nice for you though, because, I mean, if you're excited, you spend a lot of time in Fargo near your house. Driving out here is an hour. So it's like, if it's the weekend or, you know, you can kind of Just zoom over there and spend the afternoon.

[Mike]

That's the plan.

[Ken]

Next thing you know, you'll have a little bed there and then you'll have a TV and he'll build a kitchen.

[Ben]

And I said that to Sydney.

[Mike]

I was like, to me it just makes sense, like to have a couch, outdoor rug and a tv.

[Dalton]

Probably a couple of skate features.

[Mike]

Yeah, I know, I thought that too. That that actually might. If I'm going to build more skate features, it's going to be in the Merch Warehouse. But I said that to Sydney and she's just like, what? What do you need that for? That's just gonna make you spend more time there, just chillin.

[Evan]

Just your man.

[Mike]

And then I said, I like reverse psychology. I'm like, no, that's for you. So that I can come wrench and you can watch Netflix or whatever. And then I can be productive and everybody's happy.

[Ben]

Smart.

[Mike]

Yeah, man.

[Ben]

Mike, you got so many different zones. Just another zone.

[Mike]

Just another zone.

[Ben]

Yeah, another zone.

[Mike]

I'm excited though. I'm really excited. And just like having a heated area to park your rigs, you know, your

[Ben]

garage at your house.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, I can't fit my truck in there. I let Sydney park in there. That's what you do. This is one style garage. Also if Sydney. I leave, you know, before Sydney, so I get out of her way.

[Ryan]

But if, oh, if you had to leave because you stack up just the one doll. So it is nice to have your own space. Like we do. We do everything in the shop and there's always somebody making a mess, whether they be leaving their plates around or something else. And so it is nice to have a zone that you can like kind of hone in. And. And yeah, you just are like if something moves or if you didn't put your tools back, like it's because you didn't. And so you can just kind of lock in and have. Have your own zone, which is. It is a nice thing.

[Ben]

Yep. Well, Mike, you know what they say about more space, more things. You're gonna fill it up. Yeah.

[Mike]

Luckily it's not quite big enough. I'll fill it with my stuff and then it will be full.

[Ryan]

How big is it?

[Evan]

40x60, which that is pretty good size.

[Mike]

Which in your head is a lot bigger than you think. I think we're tainted. We have some pretty big shops now with like the Merch Warehouse. You walk in there and it makes every other shop seem small.

[Ryan]

But that's as big as like over there. You fit eight cars in there. Or something like that.

[Evan]

If you needed a boat and a couple of cars.

[Dalton]

I'm just waiting for that one moment where you have the best intentions to do something the night of, and you borrow a couple of tools from our mechanic over there at the farm who doesn't like when anyone touches his stuff. And then you might happen to perhaps forget those tools at that shop. And then when he needs them. Oh, my goodness.

[Evan]

I. I've started texting Gavin, hey, I'm borrowing this tool. Yell at me tomorrow if I don't bring it back right away.

[Ryan]

That more difficult step to just bringing it.

[Evan]

But it keeps me more honest so, like, I don't forget it. Like, oh, it's in the backseat of my car or something. So I'm like, okay, I got to

[Ben]

make sure where we lose a camera bag for, yeah, eight months.

[Ryan]

What else did we lose up there? Wasn't like, a speaker or something like, that was the.

[Evan]

The amp for the speakers downstairs.

[Mike]

The one thing we need.

[Ben]

Oh, Mike got stuck up there for

[Mike]

a while in the frunk. Yeah.

[Ben]

Remember that? Let's see if Mike can fit. We shut

[Mike]

because we had to press the front. So, like, just, like, imagine almost fitting somewhere there, and then someone pushing the last 10 to get her latched.

[Ben]

Yeah, we went through that to see, like, things that Mike could fit.

[Mike]

I'll still do it.

[Ryan]

I.

[Mike]

Did I ever get in the frunk of your cybertruck? Do you have a frunk on your side?

[Ken]

You easily fit in a cyber.

[Evan]

Yeah, it's a little longer, a little skinnier. I don't know if you.

[Ryan]

Mike's a little skinnier than he was back then.

[Mike]

True. Not any longer, though.

[Ken]

Ben, does your new car have a frunk?

[Evan]

Don't disclose that information because it narrows it down. I don't want to know.

[Ryan]

I love this.

[Ken]

There's a lot of frunks.

[Ben]

He doesn't even tempt himself because there's

[Evan]

no point in telling us, like, just a little morsel of information. Just keep it completely more of a surprise.

[Dalton]

Even though you know 100 what it is.

[Evan]

Yeah, I don't, but I know what it probably is, but I don't know for sure. If he gives a little bit of information away, Be like, okay, it's one of two things. Probably one thing.

[Ken]

I mean, if you want.

[Ben]

I'll just.

[Ken]

I'll just.

[Evan]

No, don't. I don't want to know.

[Ryan]

Tell him.

[Mike]

Yeah. He waits just after the pod and just tells.

[Evan]

Just ruin the secret.

[Ryan]

Just tell him right now.

[Ken]

C5 Corvette.

[Ben]

It's a.

[Ken]

He's supposed to be the guy around here.

[Mike]

Gosh, that's good.

[Ken]

Stepping on his toes.

[Ben]

All right, boys. Well, on that note, I guess we'll see. I guess we'll see. Or I guess you guys will see and Ken will see. I'll just tell the rest of you guys later after this podcast, okay?

[Mike]

Okay.

Yeah.
