Transcript

[Mike]

Randy's back, ladies and gentlemen.

[Ben]

I'll pay you three grand to kiss your car on tv.

[Mike]

And he goes, sign me up Dalton from Seaboz tv, crying.

[Ben]

That's my search history.

[CJ]

He told me the other day. He's like, bro, I'm getting death threats.

[Evan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ken]

What about that video last night? Whistle and diesel drop.

[Mike]

Dude kind of caught astray.

[CJ]

Can we burn Gavin's cowboy hat? We talk about.

[Mike]

Why would you say that?

[CJ]

It looks stupid.

[Matt]

Gav goes to Nashville once, and now he just wears a cowboy hat and boots constantly.

[CJ]

It's so cringe.

[Ben]

That is a stone in a glass house from you, Ken. That is a stone in a glass house, brother. Yeah. If you would have hated Nashville, dude.

[Ken]

Oh, dude.

[Mike]

Yeah. You would have hated so many hot moms there. You might have actually liked that part.

[Ben]

Maybe just emitting from every speaker in that town was an up and coming, talented artist that you would have just absolutely loathed.

[CJ]

Yeah, no, keep the country music away from me.

[Mike]

Yeah, you could have showed up, maybe tried to talk him out of it. Like, have you guys ever heard of Lil Peep, dude?

[CJ]

The guy, he loves Booby Ludelli.

[Ben]

Fat Nick.

[Mike]

Oh, fat, Fat Nick.

[Matt]

That's what I was looking for.

[Ben]

I did hear Booby Ludavelli song. It was on my New Music Friday, and it was actually a banger. Mike. Mike Dud. The fact that I can see the couch moving from that is concerning.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Do we end up in the garage so good.

[Evan]

I'd have to go on a d it if I somehow broke our asses through the floor for sure.

[Ben]

I think that would be the problem.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

You crack the trust, dude.

[Ken]

When we first built this, we had, like, some subs show up, and this one guy was huge. Like, I mean, he had to been £300, if not more. And we had just built this. And I remember there being this whole debate, like, it's going to be shorter up here because we got bigger trust because it's the span and all this. So I was like, well, I guess we're gonna find out.

[Ben]

Strong enough.

[Ken]

It was creaking. Still here.

[Mike]

So do we got a packed audience today?

[Ben]

Yeah. Holy smokes.

[Mike]

We really piled it in the podcast studio. We got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11. Well, 12. We got 12 people up here. We might be at capacity.

[Ken]

Well, Gavin was staying over here for, like, a week straight, so, I mean.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's.

[Ken]

Or maybe the trusts are a little weak now.

[Mike]

Are we started?

[Matt]

Yeah, we've been going for a while.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Okay. It's just a bad start.

[Mike]

I agree. I wasn't sure. Like.

[Evan]

Yeah, well, maybe do better next time.

[CJ]

So. Yeah, the Vikings are still doing great.

[Matt]

All right, welcome back to the Lifeboat podcast.

[Mike]

I don't think that makes it any. Let's go. All right.

[Ben]

Now it started.

[Mike]

Thanks for having us on, Ken.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You know, you wrapped your bike Minnesota Vikings themed and now we're losing. Dude, we've lost the past two games since you wrapped.

[CJ]

It sucked because I did do that four to five weeks ago and just like didn't ride the bike. And then now that I finally use it and posted it, we've been on a losing.

[Ken]

I think there's only one way to break this curse and. And I think we need to ghost ride your bike.

[Mike]

Yeah, it seems like the only answer.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You don't even ride combustion engine dirt bikes anymore anyways. You're a big electric guy.

[CJ]

Well, up until we pillage the Cheetos bike and turn it into a golf cart.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You were riding the E bike.

[Mike]

That's true.

[CJ]

Although I am part of that.

[Evan]

I mean, dude, it's insane how fully E we went. We just like don't ride our com.

[Ken]

It is strange.

[Mike]

Just don't like.

[Ken]

Honestly, I'm going to look back on 2024 and be like, that was the year that just like out of nowhere, everything was just electric, dude.

[Mike]

Electric.

[Ken]

We've been using it for. For our whole life.

[Mike]

Electric stuff used to suck though, and now it's like really good, you know?

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It like finally just caught up to the times.

[Ken]

It seems like there's so many different companies popping up that are making pretty much the same product.

[Mike]

There is definitely different tiers to it, but I mean, that's like anything. But with Stark bikes, it's crazy how it had of every other like manufacturer they are when they're a nobody and you got like Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, ktm. All these guys that haven't made something comparable and like they got like billions of dollars.

[Ken]

It is.

[Mike]

How does that work?

[Ken]

It is strange. Yeah. Honestly, they need to just put some more money into marketing.

[CJ]

KTM has a. Has an E bike and it is much closer to our E Rides or a Surron than it is to a Stark.

[Evan]

So I just saw that KTM just came out with their 2025 E bike. Basically, it's like the equivalent to the like 500 or the. The 450, like XCW or whatever.

[Ben]

Like a really big like a touring bike.

[Evan]

No, it's a full size, like trail bike.

[CJ]

See that? The one I saw two, three size so it's not that one. Must be a bigger one then the.

[Evan]

2025 like so we'll see. Obviously you're going to see the OEMs coming out with ebikes. Yeah, they have to.

[CJ]

I think they heard rumor of Honda. I don't really know what's going on.

[Ken]

With that but just a matter of time.

[Ben]

Do you think it's cuz there's not like a super cross class for them so they can't promote them in that way. Like they can't ride them on their biggest. So they're like eh.

[Mike]

It's got to be. I don't across their biggest stage.

[Ken]

I don't pushes their big market.

[CJ]

Probably their biggest audience.

[Evan]

I thought it was the most eyeballs.

[Ken]

Probably they get 25% or less of people who own a dirt bike watch supercross or motocross.

[CJ]

People that are going to go buy a brand new motocross bike.

[Ken]

Oh yeah, motocross bike.

[CJ]

I guess high percentage if you're look.

[Ken]

I guess I'm just generalizing like dirt bikes in general. Like so many people.

[Ben]

I totally agree with you. I think it's just like racing. It's like nascar. Like you think anybody buys a Camry because it's in nascar? No, no one has ever bought a Camry because it's a nascar. But it's like they're promoting budget and whatever.

[Mike]

Dude.

[Ken]

You're like dude, yeah.

[Mike]

When you're watching nascar. When you're watching NASCAR and they have like the body of a Camry on the Toyota car, you're like why is mine. And you're like yeah dude, my camera. I need. I must just be driving it different.

[Ben]

Yeah, you see like Camaro and all that. You're like wow, this is gonna be sick.

[Ken]

Dude.

[Mike]

I'm obviously into dirt bikes. Like that's like our world that we live in and even I'm not even that into supercross, but I am in to Hayden Deegan. I think that he's like kind of bridge the gap of personality and then supercross where you don't just have to be into like the racer to like watch him or follow him or be in dim. So I think you're going to like see maybe more and more racers like try and do that like get outside of supercross.

[Ken]

The thing is you got to be that guy even without his dad though, he's kind of got that. That celebrity like personality. The way he moves it just seems like he is. He's just a cool guy, you know. I don't know, it's like, very similar to, like, James Stewart back in the day. Like, he was a big deal in motocross. You know, I think that once Hayden gets onto the 450s, he'll be like, you know, the superstar or the guy who's like, he's obviously a professional motocross racer, but then he'll be out, you know, rubbing shoulders or elbows with, like, celebrities and stuff.

[Ben]

I think it's just rare to have a guy that's good on a bike and good on camera. So that's why it seems like it takes a while. You got to get, like, I don't know.

[Ken]

He's just got it. Yeah, he just got it.

[Evan]

Probably the most polarizing thing in Supercross right now is, like, when he goes to 450, you got a bunch of people that are like, yeah, he goes to 450 and plays the big boys. That dude's toast.

[Mike]

They've said that about him at every level.

[CJ]

I think he stays healthy, he's going to do good. If he goes down the road like Forkner, anything could happen.

[Mike]

I think there's so many people that just, like, want to see him lose just because of, like, you know, who he is. Yeah. And that's just, like, the nature of the beast, though. I don't know.

[Ben]

People watch.

[Mike]

I mean, at the end of the day, you want to lose.

[Ben]

You never know.

[Mike]

Yeah. Still watching.

[Ben]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mike]

Speaking of Internet drama, you know, we've been pretty vocal about the loss of someone real close to us.

[Matt]

Felt like a hole had been ripped right out of here.

[Evan]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

Oh, that sounds worse for you. I'm going to let you settle that for you, maybe off camera, but yeah. Peace has been restored in cormorant, I'm happy to say.

[CJ]

A hole that couldn't be filled.

[Mike]

I'm happy. I'm happy to say without further ado.

[Ken]

Oh, my gosh. So goddamn big.

[Mike]

Randy's back, ladies and gentlemen.

[Ken]

We got our crash test dummy back and we found out who stole him.

[CJ]

Real low life scumbag.

[Matt]

It was an inside job.

[Mike]

Randy's back, and he's already wrecking his leg.

[Ken]

Falling off again.

[Ben]

Ye.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Took the sign out. Ben, you're gonna step on the sign.

[Ken]

Seriously?

[Mike]

So heavy.

[Ken]

It just really makes you appreciate how much work our buddy went through. We found out who took Randy just actually a couple hours ago.

[CJ]

I want to help, but I figured.

[Ken]

I better stay Interesting how like, Ken comes all the way across the room to grab this thing.

[CJ]

Look at that placement.

[Ken]

Like he's. Get in Here.

[CJ]

Like, why you grab him like this? He grabbed him like a bowling ball.

[Matt]

Because it's 180 pounds of dead weight.

[Mike]

Yeah. So if you guys missed last week's podcast, actually, or you don't follow us on Instagram, we have posted several times that our test dummy, Reckless Randy, has gone missing. And it took us about a month to realize this, but we're at an event, it's called Heydays, and Randy was sitting in the passenger seat of our red mini truck. And then after the truck came home, Randy was not in there. After three weeks or a month, we realized that we started doing some research, and then we ran across whoever Randy's captor was, started him an Instagram page. Right. Called Randy Cormrad that grew very fast because we, were, like, fully convinced at this point. So whoever took Randy stole him and is, like, holding him against his. Like, basically holding him hostage. Right.

[Evan]

Well, if you look at the Instagram, like, it looked like he was having a great time.

[Mike]

Well, he was just making it look like that. So whoever stole Randy then created him an Instagram account and basically just made it look like Randy was on vacation. He was saying, like, Reckless Randy doesn't actually want to be a test dummy.

[Evan]

He wishes he could have the title of the seventh Seaboy.

[Mike]

Yeah. Like, he feels like he needs more credit for what he does. And was basically just, like, holding him hostage against us until Ken made a public love letter to him.

[Matt]

Not my love letter to give.

[Mike]

Oh, no. Yeah.

[Evan]

No. Ken never have a private relationship. The love letter was never made to Randy, but Randy said he would come back if Ken would do that. We did mention that on the last podcast. Ken not comfortable with that.

[Mike]

Yeah. So Ken was immediately like, Randy's worth $2500. Whoever stole him, we're gonna put him in federal prison.

[Matt]

Felony in the state of Minnesota.

[Mike]

He was even putting the value on the chair that Randy was sitting in.

[Ken]

Holding chair that he took to.

[Mike]

And he was like, that can bump him over. That could get him an extra 15 years for whoever stole them. So, like, Ken and Randy have a very special relationship. We'll pop up some, like, pictures, include clips. Obviously, like, that's Ken's personal life. So we'll try and keep that personal.

[Ben]

Not leave it up for a long time on the screen right now.

[Mike]

Yeah, like, still talking, still going. You know, we wanted to get Randy back, but really we had absolutely no idea who stole.

[Ken]

No idea.

[Mike]

We were speculating idea.

[Matt]

Some people in this room did who are sitting at the table, even though.

[Ben]

We didn't know who stole Randy. We looked everywhere. We were looking at the pictures, Google searching, trying to figure out what truck stop he was at. We uncovered every leaf.

[Mike]

Did we found out that Ken is a detective?

[Matt]

No, no. I. I got to say, our subscribers definitely helped with my. My investigating.

[Evan]

They.

[Matt]

They did give us some tips here and there.

[Mike]

Ken. So Randy was posted up in a casino gambling. And Ken, like, scoured the Internet of casinos that had this carpet, this, like, pattern on the floor.

[CJ]

Two patterns.

[Mike]

That's two patterns combined. And then he was looking at Google review photos and, like, cross referencing them, and then he ended up finding the exact pattern. Casino.

[Matt]

I thought I found the exact casino. And it turned out I was right.

[Evan]

You know the best part about all that? Like, when you're looking at, like, the power lines and all the clues you could look at, you found the truck stop.

[Chase]

Guess what?

[Evan]

Where it got us? Nowhere. I found the truck stop that Randy was at.

[Mike]

Okay, cool.

[Ken]

He kept going.

[Evan]

And then I found the casino he was at like, it was.

[Ken]

It was not gambling anymore.

[Evan]

You know, two steps behind it all.

[CJ]

And they were those gas station in Arizona and then a casino in Michigan.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So very far apart.

[Mike]

Like, so Randy. Randy was traveling the world.

[Evan]

Wow.

[CJ]

At least in the United States.

[Mike]

Well, from what we know. I heard that he got a Visa or he got a passport, credit card. Yeah, yeah. Randy's got a whole identity. Yeah, he's got a credit score and everything.

[Ben]

That's why the guy stole him.

[Mike]

Yeah. So obviously. You know, we did the podcast on it last week, and two things. They said, you guys know where he is, and you're just making it seem like you don't. Which was a lie. Partially.

[Ken]

Partially.

[Mike]

Partially a lie. The honest ones in the room did not know where he was. Good guys, everyone. That's not a zweasel and Zarette.

[Evan]

Yeah, basically only the two good prank. The two, like, real people who, not a troll on the channel, knew where he was.

[Mike]

Hey, you guys got us. Unbelievable. You guys got us turns of table.

[Evan]

There, dude, for real.

[Mike]

Oh, what was the second point? I lost my train of thought there. I was just thinking about how much of a weasel Evan was.

[CJ]

Well, were you just gonna say people were either happy that Randy was gone living.

[Mike]

Oh, two things. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. They thought that we took them, or they thought that Jake's sure broke at him. It was like one or the other.

[Evan]

And yeah. So Randy has and always has worn bums and still does wear bums, but then broke his bums. Sunglasses at the Skate park. And then was like. Was sporting some new ones and then had these, like, kind of these extra new ones. And so I. Jake was just getting like, obviously Jake has him.

[Ken]

He's in New bums.

[Evan]

And I'm like, I don't know anyone could order bums. But, dude, even I'm getting an adjustment by your dad the other day. And then he's like, by Ben's dad. And he's like, so, yeah, Jake's got Randy then. That's pretty funny. And I was like, does he like. Well, yeah, because of the bums, you know? And I was like, I don't know. But anyway, a lot of people thought that Jake was the captor. Yeah. Just because of the sunglasses.

[Mike]

We come to find out we were actually all wrong. And the captor is currently sitting next to Micah right now off camera. And it was our friend Matt. Ken, you could probably just tear up that. The papers that you had filed.

[Matt]

I think it might be too late.

[Ken]

Sorry.

[CJ]

Irreversible.

[Ken]

Last time you pull a prank on.

[Mike]

Us, huh, Matt, come on. Because I do have some questions.

[Evan]

Yeah, this is Matt. We met Matt through Rich. Rich is building the track. He needed some help.

[CJ]

He was puppies and coffee.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Evan just got shot 500 bucks.

[Evan]

Come on now.

[Mike]

What's up, Matt?

[Chase]

What's up, buddy?

[Evan]

How do you pronounce.

[Mike]

I'm sorry, Zyler. I'm sorry for what I indirectly said about you.

[Chase]

Dude, what you indirectly said about me was hilarious. I have.

[Mike]

I have no hard feelings. Ken's gonna curb stomp his ass whenever we said.

[Chase]

He said. This guy obviously doesn't have a job with all the time.

[Mike]

To be fair. To be fair, you were putting in some work.

[Ken]

What are you doing behind the video around like that?

[Chase]

So, I mean, Randy is, no joke, heavy.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Chase]

He's 180 pounds, hard to carry. I could not have done it alone. So I had an accomplice, too. But this. Shout out. Shout out to Chase. If he's going down, my boy. My boy's coming down with me. If we're going to prison.

[Ken]

Yeah, you know, he's going to. Sorry, what's it called when you, like, do a thing where, like, you're.

[Mike]

You're clear of the chart.

[Ken]

You turn in your buddy.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

A plea deal.

[Evan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ken]

Matt's already going into a plea deal.

[Chase]

Yeah. Chase is going down with me. Going down in a ball of flames. But he's really hard.

[Mike]

I actually didn't want to do it. Chase, the one behind it. You start switching up.

[Chase]

I'm Glad you had me on here. Sorry, buddy.

[Evan]

Honestly. And I do have to say, like, again, I am not a troll master, and I don't know if I ever will be. Matt just came up to me while we were at heydays Sunday. Everybody's packing up. He goes, hey, we're headed to California after this. What if we took Randy? And then at first I was just like, I don't know.

[Ken]

It's like, your kid.

[Evan]

Yeah, he's pretty heavy. And then I was like, yeah. I mean, how long are you guys going to be gone? Yeah, I'm, like, thinking about it, like, sentimental. I don't know.

[Ken]

He's got school starting next week, but.

[Evan]

Yeah, we know he's going to be heavy. But Chase and I will take him. We're going to California after that. We're going Arizona, wherever.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Evan]

And I was like, yep, do it, do it, do it. And then you came back to me like 20 minutes later and goes, Evan saw us taking Randy. So he's in.

[Ken]

Dude.

[CJ]

I walk up to the trailer and. And yeah, Matt's truck is parked next to the trailer. And there it's already on the trailer. And. And Chase is just like, basically look like you trying to move him in that chair a few minutes ago. Just like heads falling off, stuck in the truck.

[Chase]

Yeah. There's no way we could have got away with him without. Without fc and it's not smooth. And the problem you thought about.

[Mike]

You thought about just taking Ev too?

[Chase]

Well, I was.

[Mike]

He saw as they panic, they panick and shove him in the back of the trailer too.

[Chase]

I wouldn't want to have to carry ever out too.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Who do you think would be more dense to carry? Randy or.

[Evan]

For sure.

[Mike]

Yeah. But Ev's kind of like a little chicken nugget. It's like into a too much.

[Ken]

You won't say on camera, you or Randy. I'm wondering who's heavier.

[CJ]

Oh, me for sure.

[Mike]

Really?

[CJ]

Randy's only 200. He's skinny.

[Mike]

Are you 200, Ev?

[CJ]

No, I'm less than that.

[Evan]

Randy or about the dang 185.

[Ken]

You really are dense.

[Evan]

Randy's 185.

[Chase]

Is he really that heavy? I don't know how heavy.

[Ben]

180.

[Chase]

So the pictures where he was down at the water fishing. Chase was not around that time. And I was like, I have to get some pictures with him fishing. I carried him by myself down the dock, put him on the chair, set them all up, and then carried him back up the dock.

[Ken]

Your neighbors were thinking, yeah.

[Chase]

No one saw it. Thank goodness.

[CJ]

Body down to the swamp.

[Evan]

Honestly, a lot in pictures. A lot easier said than done. Because once everyone around here started realizing that Randy was gone, I was like, yo, the Instagram, dude, fire that thing up, man. Fire that up. And I'm like, dude, start doing some shit with them. And then you. You did so much awesome stuff with them for the Instagram. Like, way more than I was just hoping for pictures around the country. And then next thing you know, he's like driving stuff all by himself. Keep in mind, he doesn't have working thumbs or a brain.

[Mike]

Yeah, dude, I will tip my hat to you, Matt. Like, you did create something pretty funny for a lot of people to enjoy.

[Chase]

Yeah, I'm happy it worked out to.

[Mike]

Be on expense of Ken's love life.

[Matt]

I was on the edge of my seat, just, when's he gonna post next?

[Chase]

I'm so happy it worked out the way it did. Like, some of the posts I was super nervous about with like the. The background, and everybody's like, oh, we're gonna send GEO trackers. And I'm like, man, they're gonna find him for sure. And then when we went to the casino, I thought we were. I thought we were cooked because we had to go past security and they.

[Evan]

Had cameras everywhere and tell people like that you. You taking him do a wheelchair?

[Chase]

Yeah, wheelchair. At that point.

[Mike]

Well, I.

[Chase]

After the. After carrying him down to the dock, I was like, there's no way. There's no way we're doing this.

[Evan]

I just love it. It was actually really funny because I had even mentioned that to someone, but I was like, man, if it were me, like, knowing how heavy he is, I'd totally put him in a wheelchair. And then the next post, you had him in a wheelchair? And I was like, yeah, they're thinking.

[Mike]

So the whole time, though, we were saying, like, I figured Evan knew who it was just because he's a little weasel. Our thing that we always said was like, oh, it's one of Evan's buddies. And the reason I thought that was because he was in a wheelchair. And like, Evan's buddies back home are always hurt.

[CJ]

They're not.

[Mike]

They get so drunk. Drunk and the wheelchair to the party. So they wheelchair.

[Ken]

Hold on.

[Mike]

You gotta tell CJ about Slim's new thing.

[CJ]

So Slim, over the last like six months, he started with like a deluxe office chair to get around his garage like that.

[Ken]

What do you mean to get around his garage?

[CJ]

Like, from the fridge to the.

[Ken]

So he doesn't stand up?

[CJ]

No, he doesn't have To.

[Ken]

So he just hangs out drinking, and.

[CJ]

He wheels around, maybe working on stuff to turn a wrench, zip tie or something.

[Mike]

But whatever he's doing.

[Evan]

Whatever he's doing.

[Mike]

Said as soon as he steps up out of his house into his garage, though, he sits down on the chair, and then he can take it to, like, the mailbox.

[Ken]

Mailbox.

[Mike]

Or, like, over to the garbage.

[Evan]

And whatever he's doing in that chair, he doesn't care if he doesn't leave that chair till Monday.

[CJ]

He doesn't like to say that on.

[Ken]

The weekend, he sleeps in it.

[CJ]

No, I mean, he probably does get out of it. I think he's just like, when he has nothing going on for the weekend. But I don't give a shit if I don't leave this chair till Monday. He's just playing it by ear. Wait, okay, so with the office chair, and then he upgraded to, like, a normal wheelchair that you roll around. And then he. So he got rid of the office chair, and now he's upgraded to a fully electronic jazzy that he just drive around.

[Ken]

Shut up.

[CJ]

Like, with the little Joyce. Like Stephen Hawking. And I think his line was something along lines of life is too short to have to walk.

[Evan]

Wow.

[CJ]

It'S amazing.

[Evan]

So that's how we knew that it wasn't Slim.

[Mike]

No, dude, that's why I thought that it was Slim, because I knew. I knew that he got a chance, and he just had the wheelchair laying around now. So I was like, oh, dude, I bet that Slim's wheelchair.

[CJ]

That actually does make sense.

[Mike]

Slim gets a van. So he just straight up does not have to walk at all. He just drives his Jazz into his van.

[CJ]

Dude, that would be the episode.

[Mike]

I don't even want to give him that idea.

[CJ]

Yeah, he needs a handy conversion van.

[Mike]

Whatever.

[CJ]

Yeah, with the hydraulic lifts them right up.

[Ken]

Peter Griffin would do tell the story.

[Evan]

Of, like, when you guys were trying to get him to the casino. The security guards were like, what are you doing? And then when the gal asks what you guys were filming for, so just.

[Chase]

The casino after we went to the beach. So the beach again, Ken, was that actually in Florida?

[Evan]

No, no, no, it wasn't.

[Chase]

All right, so Ken was riding in. It was on Lake Michigan.

[Matt]

Right outside of Chicago.

[Chase]

Just outside of Chicago. So he was right. He nailed it.

[CJ]

It's a good thing no one knew where you lived.

[Chase]

Yeah. True. And quick backstory. Last night at Zorbas, Ken's literally doesn't know. Still doesn't know. We're hiding it. And he's going through this whole Instagram, showing me the pictures of how he, like, narrowed down the Michigan and narrowed down the. As soon as he got to the casino, he's like, yeah, this is a Four Winds in New Buffalo. And I was like.

[Evan]

And you're like, wow, can you.

[Chase]

He got it. And my head is literally exploding.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Chase]

But I have to keep it all together to, like, not lose was so hard. Impressive.

[Mike]

And then he's like, yeah, I got the security camera footage. Actually, I hoped.

[Chase]

I really hope.

[Matt]

Casino security. But the manager wasn't on duty when I called.

[Chase]

My gosh. Never called back.

[Mike]

Well, that said, Ken was hot and bothered about Randy's disappearance.

[Chase]

That said, going to the casino after the beach day, I was like, do we have to take him to the casino? So we go rolling into the front door in a wheelchair. He looks like a dead person.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Chase]

You know, his legs are just dragging.

[Mike]

Behind him behind the mask on him. He looks real.

[Chase]

Yeah, he. He's real in my life. He's real to me now. He's part of my family. My whole family knew about all of this. And they're, like, following Randy. My mom. This is a good one. Before I get distracted. My mom. Before anyone even knew about Randy's Instagram, I had two posts out. No followers. My mom followed it. I was like, mom, what are you doing?

[Ken]

Do what?

[Mike]

A supportive mom.

[Chase]

Get off of there. It's like a dead giveaway. She's like, oh, I know. So, but then the casino. We roll into the front thing, and they. You have to go through the. You know, the metal detectors and instantly goes off because he's all metal inside.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Chase]

And so they're like, whoa, whoa. What are you guys doing? We're like, all right, you know, we're kind of here. We just want to take some pictures with him at a. At a machine or a table or something. Whatever you guys think is okay. We'll let us do. We want to. We just want to take some pictures. Cause no trouble. And they were like, I'm not sure.

[Evan]

Yeah, I was just gonna say, relax. Take some pictures.

[Chase]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Be cool.

[Chase]

No. So we roll in. They end up like, yeah, okay, you can just go right here and take some pictures. And the whole security work, explaining this whole thing. And then finally they get real cool with us. Like, this is actually really funny. What's the. What's the channel? And I don't know a whole lot about, like, your guys's backstory, like, back in the day when you guys started, but Chase does. And I didn't Know this part and had me cracking up when I found out about it. The lady goes, oh, this is really cool. How can I find your YouTube? And he goes, it's Seabus Tibus. And I kind of looked at it. I kind of looked at him and I was like, that's not right.

[Mike]

But okay.

[Matt]

And so.

[Ken]

And then getting this.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chase]

And then afterwards I was like, what was that about? He's like, dude, they say it all the time to people that don't know. And I was like, that's actually really good. Pretty funny.

[Evan]

Check it out. Sebastievis.

[Mike]

So what were people DMing you?

[Chase]

Oh, my God. Everything from.

[CJ]

Well, DMing Randy.

[Chase]

Yeah, yeah, DMing Randy. The DMs are insane. I mean, we all give them to you and you can just go through.

[Mike]

I want to see. Can't see him right now. Yeah.

[CJ]

I was wondering if anyone would see you trying to get a photo. Yeah, Randy.

[Chase]

We were worried.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Like the casino, because there's, you know, people there.

[Chase]

We were very nervous. There was a lot of times the one that we were scared about was the casino and the skate park. The skate park was sketch because it was at a high school. And I was like, oh, no, there's a lot of people here who probably.

[CJ]

Follow the Sea Boys school with a dummy in a wheelchair.

[Chase]

And we're literally pushing him down ramps. Watching him just.

[Evan]

It was all yard sale because he like literally lost his head.

[CJ]

So I didn't get to see anything. Clip of him riding, just him laying on the ground.

[Chase]

The problem was it was hard to get the clip without one of us in it.

[CJ]

I was suspecting that golf cart video.

[Chase]

Was easy because we could get a run. It was at my parents house, down the big hill in front of their house. Chase literally ghost rode my dad's golf cart down the hill. I couldn't catch it, and it hit the trees and folded the whole top in. I have a video of my dad watching the video for the first time in the living room. He hadn't seen it. Hadn't seen his golf cart, had no idea it happened. And he's like, what was the Instagram again? And I'm like, oh, it's Randy Cormorant. And I literally get my phone and I'm like, this is gonna be good. And he literally is scrolling. And you watch his face. He's like, you son of a.

[Ben]

You wrecked my golf cart.

[Chase]

It was. It was so good.

[Ken]

No wonder my top of my goddamn.

[Mike]

You son of a.

[Chase]

We had to buy a new top for his golf Cart.

[Mike]

But it was worth it.

[Evan]

The dedication.

[Matt]

I gotta say, the beach one had to be the most pain in the ass to try and take that picture. Just dragging that across.

[Evan]

That's what he's saying. He did that without Chase on for that.

[Chase]

Chase was there. The fishing one. The fishing one was just me. Me and Chase wheeled that wheelchair down the Sandy beach probably 300 yards, and we were dying.

[CJ]

It's like when I was carrying Micah down the beach on my shoulders. When you had a. When your ankle was jammed up.

[Chase]

Are you replying right now?

[Mike]

Yo, so Spencer, our buddy Spencer, and he goes, yo, I'm good friends with the boys, and I want to prank out of them. Sell me Randy. Name a price. So I just DM the bag, I go 5K and I'm yours.

[Chase]

So there was. There's so many ways that you could play this right now. Yo, should I.

[Mike]

Should I DM Dalton?

[Ken]

Yeah. Yeah, you could mess with.

[Mike]

Oh, I'm gonna DM Dalton.

[Evan]

Yeah, you could mess with Jake.

[Mike]

Oh, should I mess with Jake?

[Chase]

Everyone thought Jake had him, and that's why we kind of framed Jake. And I apologize unintentionally. Well, kinda. Not really at first, unintentionally, but then when everyone was hitting us up and was like, oh, it's got to be Jake. It's got to be Jake, I was like, oh, we're definitely going to troll Jake now.

[Ken]

Well, we still got this whole weekend to mess with Jake.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

So, like, this pod doesn't go out till Tuesday.

[Mike]

What if you got a picture of Randy sleeping in Jake's bed without. Yeah, without Jake in there. And then you post it, and Jake will be like, all right, you guys, I swear, this is my fucking bed.

[CJ]

Or.

[Mike]

Or we do that to Dalton.

[Evan]

Dalton's gone for the weekend.

[Mike]

Don't go to his house.

[Chase]

That would be a setup.

[Mike]

I think Jake's would.

[Evan]

Jake's is funnier.

[Mike]

But we should do something to both of them.

[Chase]

I mean.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's actually hilarious.

[Chase]

Do I have both of them?

[Mike]

Yeah. Has anyone posted that Randy's here?

[Matt]

Jake's driving simulator.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

Does Jake have any security cameras?

[Evan]

The best part about all this, we don't even need to ask Randy for consent.

[Mike]

All right.

[Chase]

I don't know. I don't know. He's kind of a human. I'm still salty about the whole Instagram thing because he had more of a following than me in, like, 25.

[Evan]

Honestly, that's like. That's fair for you to be like, dude, like, I've been building my Instagram up for a little while now, and then Randy passes him in, like, two weeks.

[Chase]

No, no, less than two weeks. Yeah, way less than two weeks. When he passed me, I about deleted. Deleted Instagram. I was salty.

[Mike]

What should I dm? Dalton.

[Ken]

Hey, baby.

[CJ]

Hey, little truck boy.

[Matt]

Oh, what'd you call Thirst Trapoy?

[Mike]

Hey, cowboy.

[Chase]

I want to be on one of your new Thirst Trap videos.

[Mike]

Really?

[Ken]

Kind of gay. It's fine. Randy is gay.

[Chase]

He is. This whole time?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You're hauling him around.

[Evan]

All right.

[Mike]

I just DM'd up. Hey, cowboy.

[Chase]

So one thing I want to say on your pod and live for all your listeners and all your followers, okay? Do not steal. Okay. Yeah, I didn't steal Randy without consent from one of the guys. I know. It's kind of a ratty thing to do. Don't steal from these dudes. Don't go to heydays and think you're gonna walk away with stuff that's not happening.

[Mike]

Appreciate that, but it's gonna take a lot more than that to get out of what Ken's got filed. Yes. You know what?

[Chase]

That's all right.

[Ken]

We're gonna use you as an example, actually, Matt.

[Chase]

Oh, you're gonna use me an example?

[Mike]

I like.

[Chase]

I'll be an example.

[Ken]

That's perfect.

[Mike]

Yeah. Perfect. Yes.

[Evan]

I'll do two years.

[Chase]

Yeah, that seems, like, fair from, like.

[Evan]

Evan and I standpoint. Especially, like, I do have to applaud everyone who's just, like, relatively serious or dead serious. That was just, like, get Randy back.

[Ken]

Don't steal.

[Evan]

We appreciate that. And for those of you that didn't know who still ran, he really did appreciate that. But then I also appreciate people who just found the ultimate humor in it because it was an inside job, and it's so rare that I troll any of the guys. And again, this was mostly Matt's and Chase idea. But, like, the only other time that Evans trolled Ben was with liver and onions.

[CJ]

That was a good one.

[Evan]

Good one.

[Ken]

I helped you with that, didn't I?

[CJ]

We all did, like, six accomplices. How.

[Ken]

But.

[Evan]

Yeah, but that was actually a pretty good one. It is just. It's good to troll the troll masters, Ben and cj. They are good at what they do, and it's pretty rare that we do that. So that's why I was most on board. And it blew up. This is so funny.

[CJ]

It was so entertaining. Like, the last couple of weeks when the Instagram really blew up and just in the morning.

[Evan]

So satisfying.

[CJ]

Randy, any updates?

[Evan]

Every day, though. Every single day. Again, like, dude, I'm excited for Randy.

[Mike]

Back because, like, bro, Ken's workers, they're just as like much Internet detectives as he is. And I was like, we're paying you to work here, not find Randy.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And this is all you've been doing for the last two weeks. You've cost us more money.

[Ken]

Sounds ridiculous. I just honestly thought he was gone. Yeah, I just thought he was gone. I was like, they're just gonna run this Instagram for as long as they can to try and build as many followers. And us playing into it, we're never going to get them back. And I was kind of like, well, whatever. I just thought we were going to have to buy a new doll after.

[Mike]

Ken came out publicly and said, I'm going to send you to federal prison. And then Randy went quiet. I was like, oh, yeah, that guy's. That Randy's at the bottom of a. Of a lake somewhere.

[Ken]

I was more. So just mad we got stolen from at least. Thinking you got stolen from kind of pisses you off for sure. I mean, it definitely pisses you off, but, like, yeah, you know, Randy, pretty sentimental value to some of us.

[Chase]

There was never a plan to not bring him back. And actually, me and Mike talked yesterday before all this went down. He was like, well, maybe we just don't, you know, reveal it this weekend and we keep it going. And I'm like, mike, listen, I love you, but no way.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. You're sick of heavy, dude.

[Chase]

Me and Chase, our backs are broken.

[Evan]

That was the vibe I was getting. Yeah.

[Ken]

Sucks doing anything we could. Mike Tyson quote.

[Evan]

It's off my chest sooner than later. That'd be great.

[Mike]

Like, a couple weeks ago, I had this whole phone debacle, so I, like, had to use an iPad. I was an iPad kid for a couple days. A couple of weeks. Mike was the last person to use this iPad. It was, like, one of our company iPads, so I sign in under mine, but it still had Mike's iMessage on there. So, like, he was getting text while I was getting text for, like, a couple hours. Right. I was, like, trying to, like, get rid of, like, the overlap. Right.

[Ken]

All the photos and everything.

[Mike]

Everything. I could have read through all of your texts with everybody, but, like, I'm not a snoop.

[Evan]

I've been more concerning just that particular one. I don't really have anything to hide.

[Mike]

But I didn't know even a thing until you texted Mike. And I was like, I didn't even know I had Matt's number. And I read One message. And. And, dude, you said something related to this, but it was, like, in one ear, out the other. You weren't a suspect at that time in my eyes. And so I was just like, man, I really gotta figure out how to get Mike's phone disconnected here. That's the only thing I thought. And now knowing it, I look back at it.

[CJ]

But Uncle Rich called me, and he was kind of acting like he knew, and so then I almost spilled the beans to him. And then I realized, like, I was on speakerphone in the shop, and I just about, like, hung up the phone, so I didn't know who might be listening from the next room. Like, I almost had said too much. Turns out he had no idea.

[Evan]

I mean, no, I made a mistake. Basically. Matt's like, it was the first thing that you said were, like, hey, here's the plan. Probably just don't tell Rich.

[Chase]

Well, and it's not anything against Rich. It's not against anybody, but, like, the less moving parts, the better.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, dude, I understand that. Because, like, if we ever have anything planned, I don't. Less people, I try and tell, like, one person, cj. And then even if it involves, like, all right, we have to have, like, Evan and Ken do something. We don't even tell them until, like, the very last second. Yeah. At the chance that they could ruin something. Yeah.

[Chase]

Well, because it usually gets ruined.

[Mike]

It does. That's why I was so impressed that. That it didn't get ruined.

[Matt]

But I am surprised you were able to keep a secret for that long.

[Ben]

Same.

[Mike]

Happy to have you back, Randy.

[Chase]

Yeah, I'm happy.

[Mike]

Good prank, man. I. I honestly. I just didn't. I just didn't know that Randy would have this much of, like, an effect on our. Our lives.

[Evan]

Like, we. We hoped that this. It would go exactly how it went. What if?

[Mike]

I think it went better? Well, I think it honestly went better than what if.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Got, like, a feeling from him. Like, when you sit next to him, don't you just feel. You feel him?

[Mike]

Feel a presence, aura? What's up with that?

[CJ]

Aura?

[Mike]

Yeah, people keep saying, like, every time I go on TikTok, I see, like.

[Evan]

Clearly you don't got it then.

[Mike]

Yeah. What's that even mean?

[Evan]

It's kind of like when you do something and it just, like, works out really well, and you just, like, look really cool. Then it's like, plus, you know, that's aura plus a thousand aura.

[Ben]

So your aura is, like, your coolness or your lore behind you. It's like, kind of who you are and how you move. So if you do something cool or slickly, it increases your aura. But if you're, like, walking across the room and you trip, like, the girl across the room that might be watching you, like, she would think of you. Less cool drops.

[Evan]

You had, like, a C7 Corvette, and you're drifting back, and then you did one of those rollback, and then you did it, like, between two very expensive cars and just. And then did it away. Everyone would be, like, damn insane. Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah, dude.

[Evan]

Texas speed.

[Mike]

Nice.

[Ken]

Nice.

[Evan]

Yeah. Headers all the way back.

[Mike]

I was gonna say it had to been, but that would be, like, do.

[Evan]

Something really, really crazy that you shouldn't have even pulled off. And everyone's like, dude, that was insane. Then your aura goes up.

[Ken]

Mike, it might be time for you to get a C6. What's. What's the update on your. Your drift car?

[Evan]

Drift car got sent off to our boy Cody, and he pulled the turbo off of it.

[Ken]

So you're taking it off.

[Ben]

It's no longer turbo.

[Evan]

It'll be na. Yeah. It'll have exhaust that goes out the back instead of the hood. And they clean up the mess of a wiring harness mostly. It won't start on fire again, man, that really.

[Mike]

That makes me sad.

[CJ]

Save this clip a few months from now.

[Mike]

That was the best part about Mike's drift car.

[Evan]

Now, I know.

[Ken]

Flames, man. Some people shoot out their exhaust. Your car just lights on fire.

[CJ]

We actually sabotage it and light it on fire. It's super solid now.

[Evan]

Yes. I ordered more fire extinguishers than we should ever need in the next year Just so I could have them for the drift track.

[Mike]

Got them, like, placed around.

[Evan]

Yeah. I mean, I was like, no, they're.

[Mike]

Just all in his passenger, for the record.

[Evan]

Yeah, I have two in there.

[Mike]

Because my track record, we need, like, little fire stations around the. Really just around all of our compounds. That was something like, when I bought my house, I went out, I bought fire extinguishers. And then, like, Greta came home, and I, like, had to tell her where I put these fire extinguishers.

[Evan]

And then.

[Mike]

And maybe that's just something to grow and older, But I was like, why isn't this, like, more talked about? Because if something did go south and I just never, like, went out and bought fire extinguishers. Maybe it is just a known fact.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I don't know. But it seems like I'm also picturing.

[Evan]

Greta being like, you know, let's say you bought three or four fire extinguishers. For your house. She's probably, wow, why did you do that? Is our house gonna start?

[Mike]

She couldn't believe it, actually. She was like, this is just crazy to me that you think, like, you're actually worried about this.

[Evan]

You're like, no. Yeah. But you're not.

[Mike]

I've kind of been.

[Ken]

Grandpa's house burned down.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah, dude, that shit. Shit happens. So the other night, I was falling asleep, and I'd probably been like, asleep for like, 30 minutes, and then all of a sudden, I don't even know if I opened up my eyes or what happened, but I saw like, a movement in my room, and it scared the shit out of me. And I like, rocket out of bed and I'm like, looking around. I was fully convinced that, like, somebody broken into my house, because I saw just like, of a bunch black shadow moving through. And then I look over, I see my bedroom door is open. So then I'm really tweaking. So now I'm like, what the is going on? And I'm just sitting there silent, like, trying to listen to see if, like, there was, like, movement outside. And then, like, for some reason, just out of nowhere, it just goes, oh, my God. I left the grill on. Like, it literally went from getting woken up from a dead sleep to thinking somebody robbed my house to me just, like, immediately, remember, I left the grill.

[Ken]

That's amazing.

[Ben]

Did you leave it?

[Mike]

I left the grill.

[Ben]

Well, thank goodness you've got those fire extinguishers, my man.

[Chase]

Leaving the grill.

[Mike]

I left the grill on. I made a steak that night, and I wasn't sure my steak was going to be done, so I left it on and I went inside. And then I got a call from my mom. Totally got distracted. And then I fell asleep. Fell asleep and woke up from a dead dude. Like, I swear somebody's watching out for me. Yeah. Like, how crazy is that?

[Ken]

Was it still lit?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Wow.

[Ken]

It would have been hot. Grill crazy, right? Yeah.

[Mike]

So I, like, get out of bed, and I just. It just, like, hits me and I.

[Ken]

Was like, oh, my God.

[Mike]

I rock it out of bed. I run over, open up the sliding door. Sure enough, grill is on.

[Ben]

Steaks just about done.

[Mike]

Yeah. I turn it off, and then I, like, come back in, and I'm like, like, still, like, just like, kind of tweaking over what just happened.

[Evan]

Greta goes, what happened? You're like, my steak's well done now.

[Mike]

No. Greta goes, oh, what were you doing? And I was, like, not about to explain what I had just done. And I was just like, Just going to the bathroom. She was like, why were you going to that bathroom? I was like, oh, my God. I don't. Just go. You got more to explain. I was like, just go to bed.

[Ken]

Did she just go to bed then?

[Mike]

Yeah, and then I. And then I explained it, like, the next day. She thought I was being all sus. Yeah, clearly.

[Evan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

If you just said you were going to a bathroom that's right next to your room and you just, like, disappear outside.

[Ben]

Outside.

[Ken]

Little sus.

[Mike]

Yeah, you're right.

[Ben]

Since I've moved into my house now and It's. It's older, 69 years old, I have been a little bit worried about ghosts.

[CJ]

Like, they're not real.

[Ben]

Well, you never know. Ben just had a ghost and thankfully told him to turn off the grill.

[Mike]

I think I had a homie. I clearly did something good to deserve that.

[Ben]

And so, like, that's the thing is you can have different types of ghosts. Like, you have good ghosts, bad ghosts.

[Ken]

So do you feel your house is haunted?

[Ben]

I mean, no. Except sometimes the basement's a little creepy. Sometimes when you turn on the light or turn off the light down there. I don't.

[Ken]

You have to go through that basement, like, daily.

[Ben]

Yeah, Yeah, I just, like, turn off the light and, like, run upstairs really fast.

[Mike]

You got, like, seven windows that go directly out.

[Ben]

It's a little creepy. There could be ghosts down there. And then to help a laundry has got me watching ghost shows. And, you know, all those scary things could get lucky.

[CJ]

If you capture a ghost, you'd be the first person ever. Dude, like, it would be the best in your best interest to have ghosts in that house, because they've never existed anywhere else.

[Ben]

But people have been saying they've existed.

[CJ]

Well, they're liars, clearly.

[Ken]

So you don't believe in ghosts, Ev?

[CJ]

Dude, absolutely not. Show me one. Show me anybody that has any actual proof.

[Ben]

It's funny, Ev, because I saw this video and I thought I was like, oh, maybe this ghost is speaking to evil.

[Mike]

They want me to drink another whiskey. Dude.

[Ben]

That'S a weird impulse.

[Mike]

That is a weird impulse, man. Dude, hey, out of all the times that we've been ghost hunting and stuff, I have never had an impulse.

[Ben]

I want to drink that right now.

[Evan]

Right now.

[Mike]

But then you're gonna be drunk. It's the weirdest thing. Like, I want to do it. It. Can I just do it?

[Ken]

Oh, you might get drunk.

[Mike]

No, they're telling me we should do it. That'll be your third shot.

[Ben]

You've never done this before in A lockdown.

[Matt]

That's three.

[Ken]

That's three shots of whiskey you just did, bro.

[Mike]

It feels good. That's hilarious. Ryan. That was way too quick. That was great.

[Ben]

Well, you started talking about you had ghosts and then it made me think about my ghost.

[Ken]

Is that actually, is that a joke or is that actually from a real show?

[Ben]

No, it's really from the ghost adventures.

[Evan]

TV show bro Channel posted.

[Mike]

They cut that up like it was a joke. Yeah.

[Ken]

That's amazing.

[Mike]

It might have been. They.

[Ken]

They tried to sell it as real, I'd imagine.

[Mike]

Yeah, that had to have been a joke. There's no way.

[Evan]

What throws me off most about that is like I think I'd be embarrassed to be that guy because that's something. If a 17 year old did that, it'd be funny.

[CJ]

I thought it was hilarious.

[Ben]

What a 30 year old man.

[Ken]

100. See you doing that when you're 50 cracking that joke.

[Evan]

He's like, well, okay, as a J joke.

[Mike]

Yeah, hilarious.

[Evan]

Playing it off as serious. Like they want me to do it.

[Ben]

That your, your whole show is easy to do.

[Ken]

I'm sure you're. You're freaking trying to make it big on tv. You finally score a deal. You're on this ghost channel now, you're three seasons in and they want you to do this bit and you're like, all right, well I got a pretty decent thing going. I'm just gonna do the bit.

[CJ]

Easiest thing to hunt. Like you can make a career off of ghost hunting or sasquatch hunting and you never even have.

[Mike]

You don't even have to be good. You don't even have to be good.

[CJ]

Hunting anything else you actually have to catch or get what you're hunting.

[Mike]

I do believe in ghosts though. I won't say dude, the success to fail, right?

[Ben]

Yeah, dude, the guys on the third season of going to a non haunted house he's like, huh, how am I gonna make this interesting? I started drinking and then he's like, wait a minute.

[Mike]

Do you guys remember the stage of YouTube when they used to do like the Ouija boards?

[Ben]

Oh yeah, everything.

[Evan]

I mean Shane Dawson has a huge, huge, huge number of views just from his huge like ghost hunting as far as I know. Or at least I'll say. I don't think any of that's real.

[Mike]

Shane Dawson fan, aren't you actually don't.

[CJ]

Know who that is. Maybe if you popped up a picture of my reckon. Who the hell is he?

[Evan]

Yeah, you don't want to know.

[Ken]

You know who he is, I'm sure.

[Mike]

Yeah, that was a strange period of. Of YouTube though.

[Evan]

It was kids content and they just eat it up. Like 45 minute long videos of it looks like.

[CJ]

Oh, man. Drake and Josh, one of that one.

[Ken]

He's been big on YouTube.

[Evan]

He's. He's one of the OGs.

[Ben]

YouTube has suspended Shane Dawson's YouTube channel.

[Ken]

All right, for how long?

[Evan]

YouTube.

[Ben]

This is in 2020. He had in quotes, racism.

[CJ]

Oh, no.

[Ben]

His beauty channel. 3.7 million subscribers. We got more than that.

[CJ]

He has a beauty channel and ghost hunting.

[Evan]

Yeah. I was like, that'll explain.

[CJ]

It's going down all avenues.

[Mike]

I can see you doing that, Ev.

[CJ]

Dude. So since we got Randy back, does that mean we don't get to collab with Lil Mayo?

[Mike]

Yeah, we were.

[CJ]

I was gonna try to get Lil.

[Evan]

Mayo to like post like a meetup or something. Yeah.

[CJ]

Do you know who Lumeo is?

[Ben]

He's like, yeah, I am Lil Mayo, dude.

[Mike]

Yeah, Master. And Lil Mayo's too.

[Ben]

What would you do ab. If you could. If you could just start up your own channel. Can't be anything to do what we do. It's just like total side quests. What would you do?

[CJ]

I think I would just day in the life videos doing really random adventures. I came and think of one just.

[Evan]

Like, I like that local bar.

[Mike]

Today. I got wicked drunk.

[CJ]

I don't know, like riding around Jazzies with Slim.

[Ken]

That'd be a good video on it.

[Ben]

That would be a good video.

[CJ]

Taking three wheelers with cousin Joe to the gravel pit.

[Evan]

Yeah, I like that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Okay.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah, but you're.

[Mike]

You gotta like.

[CJ]

That's too.

[Mike]

I want to hear. Yeah, I want to hear it. If you were gonna go down like a completely different rabbit hole.

[CJ]

We have a pretty wide ride of.

[Evan]

What we do here.

[CJ]

How.

[Evan]

How far off base.

[CJ]

I mean, we do some pranks.

[Ken]

Yeah, we do everything you could do.

[CJ]

I don't think I'd really be too much of a prank troller.

[Evan]

No, I don't. I think you'd be more like, here's how to add this awesome new transition in Final Cut Pro X tutorial.

[CJ]

So like, you're talking like it was a. It was too much of a wedge, so we had to increase the transition.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Evan]

Here's how to speed ramp your clips in Final Cut Pro X very quickly.

[Ben]

Dude. I've been thinking about it for a long time, Ev, and if like, you know, it ever gets to where you get some extra time around here, I think you should start up your own channel. And it should be Evan Chefs and it should be.

[CJ]

You do some cooking.

[Evan]

I love that.

[CJ]

That would be good, dude. Like, me and Cody and Mike were talking about, we were doing all the meat nights. We used to really get crazy. Like, Cody was making meat dogs. So you just like, take a pound of burger. You just leave it as a circle, basically. And meat.

[Ben]

Are you, like, good at cooking, though?

[CJ]

Oh, dude, yeah. Jen the other day when she came in, she had chicken chili. So it's like white sauce chili. And she asked like, oh, I don't know if you guys have had this before. And I scoffed. I said, I'll have you know I won the chili cook off in 10th grade with white chili.

[Mike]

Did you really? Yeah. Wait, what?

[Ken]

Your dad make it?

[CJ]

No, no, no. I mean, and it was a group.

[Mike]

I feel like.

[Ken]

I feel like your dad would actually.

[Mike]

Be really good chili, man.

[CJ]

At school, it was actually a 10th grade, like, home ec or cooking class or whatever the heck it was. And there was like six teams or whatever was in cooking class, but we made a bunch of chili and whatever.

[Ken]

You won?

[CJ]

Yeah, we won. My group. There's like.

[Ben]

Who's your partner?

[CJ]

My homie, Ham Face, Especially.

[Ben]

Do you call him Ham Face?

[Evan]

That's his.

[Ken]

He's.

[CJ]

He's kind of pale white, and he has a pink, glossy face, built like.

[Mike]

Oh, damn, man. That is so unfortunate for him. Can you pop up a picture of him? Can we see him?

[Evan]

Something tells me he didn't love that name.

[Ben]

Probably hasn't been called ham face since 10th grade.

[Evan]

No, no, no.

[CJ]

It's in my phone as Ham Face. Like, he's Ham Face.

[Ben]

Still Ham Face.

[CJ]

His brother's name is Turnbuckle. They're twins. No idea why, but that's what stuck.

[Ken]

When he hit the turnbuckle.

[CJ]

I don't even know why. It's just. That's what.

[Ben]

What stuck.

[Evan]

That's amazing.

[CJ]

But yeah. And then this other kid named Justin, this other kid named Cole.

[Mike]

Oh, Justin. What an unfortunate nickname. That guy sucks.

[CJ]

Maybe it was Jason. Dude, it was another twin. Two of the people in my groups had twin brothers.

[Mike]

How much work were you putting into this chili, dude?

[CJ]

A lot of work. I looked the recipe up online and we used grouse, so I. We actually used grouse that I had hunted and shot and used that instead of chicken. So use the chicken recipe. Use wild game.

[Evan]

Inspirational. It was good.

[Mike]

Yeah, I love that.

[Evan]

And of course, if that were a real channel, it would be very different from what we do because, I mean, what. All we do around here is, like, eat hot dogs.

[Ken]

We have made Some grilling content before.

[CJ]

I was singing about.

[Evan]

We did.

[CJ]

Dude.

[Mike]

We did make a. And then Ken almost started our shop.

[Evan]

That was another. That.

[Mike]

What? Yeah, yeah, Kent. We went through this stage where we put, like, Yum yum sauce. If you go to, like, a hibachi restaurant, that kind of Yum yum sauce. We put yum yum sauce on everything. And we were cooking hamburgers, and Ken thought that it was a good idea to put yum yum sauce on the hamburgers.

[Evan]

A lot of them. And then make them into the hamburgers. Yep, a lot of it.

[Mike]

And it just started the whole flammable, dude.

[Evan]

It was like. It was literally like a bonfire in the grill. Licking at the shop, like, super windy.

[Matt]

And then building. It was fine. The worst it would have done was left some char marks.

[Evan]

But I'll just never forget you walking out the door and going, oh, fuck. Like, it's just this huge flames. Yeah. So, I mean, none of us really belong cooking, but.

[Mike]

But, yeah, with a name like that.

[Evan]

Yeah. Maybe Evan.

[CJ]

I can whip something up.

[Chase]

Yeah, Chef.

[CJ]

Something up.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

What's that other name you've been calling Ev?

[Mike]

Deb. Yeah. So Evan's haters started calling him Deb.

[Ken]

Short for Dude Evan bro.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I don't know.

[Mike]

I don't know who came up with it first, but it's, like, kind of, like, demoralizing, like, to take, like, a cool name like Dude Evan Bro, which I gave Evan that nickname, which is. That is a cool nickname name. And then just, like, simplifies it down to Deb. Deb. You take something cool and you just ruin it. Deb's always just kind of been like a. Like a meme name, at least in our friend group. Ryan had this chick that used to go, Deb. Yeah. That wasn't her name. He, like, bullied her out of high school.

[Ben]

She brought herself right into rehab.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Ben]

I didn't have anything to do with that. Dude. I didn't have anything to do with it.

[Mike]

So, so aggressive. Yeah, I don't stand for that, Ryan.

[Ben]

Yeah, he was going either way.

[Evan]

And also, she got help. Come on. That is pretty funny. Also, I don't know if we've ever said this, but you mentioned that you came up with Dude Evan bro, but he didn't, like, mean to. He wasn't even calling him Dude Evan bro. He was just calling him Evan. But Ben was chilling really hard, and.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah, Dude Evan bro. And, like, from there, it just stuck. It's just. That's just hilarious how Dude Bro Deb Little Debbie.

[Mike]

Evan's haters.

[CJ]

My favorite treats, though.

[Mike]

Yeah, you do eat a lot of Little Debbie.

[CJ]

Mainly cream pies.

[Ben]

I bought a double decker cream pie from the gas station. Twice was not as good.

[CJ]

Yeah, too much cream.

[Evan]

Too much. Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

In the pie.

[CJ]

Speaking of cream pies, where are you taking Randy for dinner tonight, Ken?

[Matt]

I don't think anywhere. I think Randy's staying right where he's at.

[Mike]

Oh, boy.

[Evan]

A little night in.

[Matt]

I did see one of our friends. He. He texted us this morning that he. He might have found a girlfriend for Randy.

[Evan]

See, that's honestly also another thing.

[CJ]

I don't think Andy's interested.

[Evan]

I just thought of it like halfway through it. Like, it would have been so funny if you somehow showed up with like a. Oh, yeah, I brought Randy back and he's got a girlfriend now. So you guys take care of. I don't know if they make. Do they make female crash test dummies when you were shopping?

[Mike]

It's a different kind of dummy. They don't call up the crash.

[Ken]

Yeah, they probably bought the same price.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah, maybe more.

[Evan]

Matt said there was talks about getting them a partner, but it was kind.

[Ben]

Of weird that you were carrying around like a life size human being doll. But that one doesn't look all that sexual. But if you had two life size human being dolls, that would have been weird.

[Mike]

Dude.

[CJ]

I'm pretty sure that it was on that. My strange addiction or something. The guy was dating a female doll and would bring her everywhere to dinner and stuff.

[Ben]

Yeah, I saw.

[Ken]

Like, imagine how much work that had to have been. Was his lighter, I'd assume. Unless he's into different. Kind of is.

[Chase]

What was it? Any more work than dating a real girl?

[Mike]

Than dating a wrong girl? Yeah.

[Evan]

And I would say, like, that's honestly. I mean, still very weird, but probably less weird than like, you know, there's the classic dude who was like in love with his Chevy Lumina.

[Ben]

Yeah. I was just saying.

[Mike]

What about the guy who's.

[CJ]

There's nothing wrong with being in love with a Chevy.

[Ken]

Blend in a little more being in love with your car.

[Mike]

How so? Like, like sexually?

[Evan]

Yeah. In love with them. Yeah, but he would. He would sit his legs under. Under the front.

[Ken]

Look at this guy.

[Mike]

You know, a thing or two.

[Evan]

Yeah, look, look, look.

[Mike]

I'm 27 years old. Is this real?

[Ken]

And I'm in a serious relationship with my car.

[Evan]

He's kissing the front bumper.

[Mike]

This can't be real. God damn, dude.

[Ken]

This guy's really passionate.

[Ben]

My handsome man.

[CJ]

I'm Gonna get a tetanus wiener because you were screwing your muffler.

[Ben]

He met Chase in a resale lot about five years ago. I can't remember what the. What it was called Hicksploitation, where you exploit hick people. Grinehart told us about that. But there should be laws against publicizing people like this.

[CJ]

I'm working.

[Ken]

I want to go on the.

[Ben]

That's what I mean. Well, I'm sure he probably.

[Evan]

I don't know what they offer them, but TLC has to be the best, I guess.

[CJ]

Hicks, this is like 15 years old.

[Ben]

Yeah, but that's. I'm sure they go to this guy who probably is in financial need, and they go, hey, man, we'll pay you three grand to kiss your car on tv. And he goes, sign me up. He goes, I'll say I f the tailpipe for five. And they go, deal. We would have done it for 40.

[Ken]

And then.

[Ben]

Then he's. Before you know it, kiss in the front bumper of a Chevy Lumina.

[Mike]

We could send a camera out tonight at 12am to find Evan out with his Chev out back.

[Evan]

Gosh, there's a hole. I got a whole.

[CJ]

It takes a lot of time to keep them all happy. You know, some gets jealous, give a little extra attention to the other one.

[Evan]

And that's one of many. Like, there's another substantial one where they're in love with this particular Ferris wheel, and they bought it. I took out savings and I bought this Ferris wheel. Like, I'm in love with it. I am sexually interested in this Ferris wheel.

[Mike]

What?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

How about, like, the one girl that used to eat drywall?

[CJ]

Bro, I swear to God, that was the one that I was thinking in my head. When I'm thinking about those, like, stuff.

[Mike]

Mattresses, there's, like, mattress.

[Evan]

Yeah, dryer sheets. Girl was just addicted to the flavor of the dryer sheets. I think that was probably one of the lighter ones.

[Mike]

And can you look up, like, the strangest, strange addictions. Why is Dalton from Seaboise TV crying?

[Ben]

Okay, so that's my search history. It was getting toast on one of his things. That was the search. You know, like, tick tock Search will sometimes say crazy things. That's what it was. It was adult from Seaboy TV crying. And I was like, well, I gotta click on this, because I always thought it was gonna lead to something.

[Evan]

There was a. A weird trend of tick tocks going around that said Dalton from C Boys TV has to go. And. And some of them got a weird amount of likes. And it's Just, like, for those of you that think that it ain't gonna happen.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Dalton's a huge asset to the team. I just want to. Great guy.

[Evan]

You can make those tick tocks if you want, but, like, they are invalid because, like, it's not real.

[Ken]

If we all didn't like Dalton, I mean, one of us cannot like him, but if the rest of us like him.

[Mike]

I always looked at those and. And wondered, like, which side they were taking. If they were like, like, Dalton needs to leave, as if they were saying, like, he shouldn't be dealing with it. Yeah, I wonder. That's like, I. I'm not sure if that's how they. They looked at it, both sides.

[Evan]

I was, like, kind of fired up about it, and I was like, dang. You know, some people are, like, really just saying whatever they want again, you know, behind a keyboard, whatever. And then Sydney's like, I think a lot of those people, like, they'll throw a like on because they're. They're here for the lore. They're here.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's probably true.

[Evan]

Yeah. They're here for the. The Randy being stolen. Whether no matter what side they're on, they're here for.

[CJ]

He told me the other day, he's like, bro, I'm getting death threats.

[Evan]

Oh, my gosh.

[CJ]

Yeah. He's like, I know they're not real, but it's still crazy to read what someone wrote.

[Mike]

Yeah. No, that's insane. I think what people don't realize, too, is, like, if our channel was all just, like, rainbows and. And butterflies of, like, having the exact same personality or. Or not showing, you know, when shit goes wrong or, like, things like that. Like. Like, it wouldn't be fun to watch. And it wouldn't be fun to watch if every character on the channel was the exact same. So that's where, like, when Dalton, you know, is. Is riffing with Evan, it's funny to show. Like, there's so many different, like, little side. I guess you could call them, like, side quest of C Boys tv that, like, if you're. If you're a fan that watches every single week, you would understand where, like, that's what makes our video so special. And it's like the different personalities that we have and like. Like, just, like, the different storylines. And it's like, you guys gotta let up a little bit on, like, the kid.

[Ken]

Yeah. He was just supposed to be, like, filming, not supposed to be on camera. And then it just, like, so naturally started, like, rolling into, like. We think it's camera we think that's.

[Mike]

Why we put it in.

[Ken]

And then, like, we just started getting on camera and then we were like editing. It's like, this is kind of funny. Put it in. And then starts snowballing. And now, like, poor Dalton's over here getting death threats. He's 18 years old. Yeah, he just graduated high school. Hard working, does a great job, does an amazing job. Dalton's the best, man. I've been saying it for a long time. Like, since after a month when we hired him, I was like, dude, that kid is a beast. Because he is. He's a freaking beast. Dude.

[Evan]

Dude. One thing to note, to do everything.

[Ken]

He's so good.

[Evan]

I just love, like, how the dynamic of everyone here. But then when he came in, the dynamic got even wider spread. That, like, dude, he makes me feel younger and older all at the same time. Like, some of it, dude, some of.

[Mike]

The stuff, I don't know what you.

[CJ]

Guys are getting into that he makes you feel that way.

[Evan]

Just some of the stuff he says.

[Ken]

Yeah, he definitely is a little bit more ear to the ground with the trends and whatnot.

[Evan]

But friends, you know the short shorts, those are.

[Ken]

Yeah, I'm glad those are gone.

[Ben]

Thank God. It's getting cold though.

[Mike]

He did. He did ask Ken, is there anything I could improve on after the first month of working for us and Ken said, said maybe wear a little less cologne too.

[Ben]

He did.

[Matt]

It smelled like a Hollister store for like a month.

[Evan]

Come on.

[Ken]

He was wearing a lot of cologne for coming and working at the shop. But, dude, I was to have Dalton on sometime.

[Ben]

We will.

[Mike]

Yeah, because I mean, in not defense of himself when Evan's sitting there, I.

[Evan]

Mean, oh, screw it. Like, next podcast. I think we're good for that. Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah, let's do that.

[Ben]

I was telling Dalton, I go, hey, man, people didn't like Ken just a very short 16 months ago, and look at him now.

[Ken]

Yeah, he's like a favorite on the Superstar. I told him too. I was like, dude, like, just because people are, like hating on you doesn't mean that you're not making a difference, you know, in the video or whatever. Like, you know, you're not really supposed to even be on camera. And now it's like your character, like, people are noticing you and like, you know, which is. Is really good, you know, And I'd say in terms of making a difference at the over in the video, whether people like you or not, you made a difference and you made some kind of form of entertainment. Kind of feels like WWE over Here. But it's real life. It's real life. Except between you and Dalton, I don't know who is the. The baby face and who is the heel? Heel. The baby face being the good guy and the heal being definitely the good guy.

[Mike]

I feel like. I feel like you're the heel, but.

[Ken]

Still, everyone's on your side.

[CJ]

Is it not fair to say that when I get into it with Dalton, that he literally starts it every time? Is that a fair observation? No. You guys don't agree.

[Mike]

I mean, every time would. Every time would be a stretch.

[CJ]

I definitely get into it and go back and forth, but I swear he just sets it up, like, tees the ball up.

[Evan]

And it's just.

[Matt]

I mean, almost like you inflame the situation, though, sometimes, too.

[CJ]

I'm gas. He's an already burning fire.

[Evan]

I think somebody else has to tell you that you're gas.

[Ken]

We'll say his truck. You know, he loves it, this truck. He's in, the cars. He spends all this time and money trying to make his truck cool. And quite frankly, he's watched Seaboy's TV since he was like, 10 or something like that. So, like. Like the beginning. It's so crazy. He works with us.

[CJ]

Water balloon at him when he was 6.

[Ken]

Yeah, that's true. Then he gets here, and you're just like, that thing's a piece of like. It's just like.

[Mike]

He's just like. I'm sure it hurts his feelings like that.

[CJ]

Gotta hear that once in a while, Mile, you know?

[Ken]

So I'm sure that doesn't make him like you.

[CJ]

Oh, Dalton loves me, cj.

[Ken]

Yeah, maybe, but we'll have to have him on. Speaking of people that don't like us. Segue, what about that video last night? Whistling Diesel dropped.

[Mike]

Dude kind of caught a stray.

[Ken]

Yeah, it definitely was a stray.

[Evan]

Was it a stray or what?

[Ken]

It was. Have you seen it yet, Mike?

[Evan]

No.

[Ken]

You know, we're minding our own business over here. And then he makes a video, and then he calls our mini truck not cool, which was like the.

[Mike]

That.

[Ken]

That's fine. But that hurt Gavin's feelings. Our mechanic, he's pissed about it.

[Evan]

I think the biggest thing again, what you explained to me, obviously, watch it right after this. But you were like, how? He was like, yeah. All they did was put a mini. Sorry, a Hayabusa truck. All they did was put a high boost engine in the mini truck. That's still cool.

[Ken]

They never said that, but they were, like, kind of mimicking us at the end. That's Where I was. Like, the mimicking makes it seem like, like doesn't like us, which is fine. I really don't give a. If he doesn't like us. I. I don't want anything. Yeah, I don't need anything from him.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, he's made, like, several comments, like, in his videos about, you know, being like, you know, I'm the. I'm the best YouTuber. Like, I'm the. What.

[Chase]

What did you.

[Mike]

What did he say at the end? Yeah, I will always be bigger and better.

[Ken]

It honestly is very light, but the subs are fired up, man.

[CJ]

It doesn't really matter because ours is faster and.

[Ken]

Well, that's what I said.

[CJ]

That's why it doesn't even matter, really what he.

[Ken]

That'. I. I just think, like, we should just run a drag race.

[CJ]

He would never do it, though.

[Ken]

Yeah, obviously not, dude. Freaking jet engines are slow. All right, Right here. Watch this.

[Mike]

Maybe there's something we can do to.

[CJ]

Give it a little more power so.

[Mike]

We can go, like, road speed, but.

[Ken]

Hayabusa.

[Evan]

Fire up the hayabusa.

[Mike]

Initiate the Viper 11.

[Ken]

Whose voice do you think they were mimicking there?

[CJ]

Kind of sounded like Ben.

[Ken]

You think they were making fun of.

[Mike]

Your voice, trying to fire up the Hayabusa?

[Ken]

Yeah, probably damn bad.

[CJ]

I just think it's funny. I don't really think it's.

[Chase]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Too malicious.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, I agree. I agree.

[Ken]

It's just. It's funny for sure. I think it'd be awesome if we raced them well.

[CJ]

Yeah, we'd win.

[Mike]

I think it'd be awesome.

[Evan]

To claim that the jet engine red Honda Acty mini truck is better. Is just like. I mean, they're just honestly two different things.

[CJ]

And it's not even faster. It's like, not even better in any way other than looking ridiculous.

[Mike]

I think that he probably looked at it and was like, oh, this would be a good idea on a mini truck, putting a jet engine on it. What looks the best?

[Evan]

Red.

[Mike]

Well, somebody already has a red mini truck. So I'm gonna get ahead of the comments of everyone being like, I copied Seaboy's tv and then I'm gonna throw a jab because he said some other YouTubers have done it, but theirs wasn't cool, so I'm gonna do that. So I think he said that to get ahead of the comments to make it seem like, like, his is better and that's why he did it.

[Ken]

He's definitely cool.

[Mike]

Oh, no doubt, no doubt. It's sick. But I agree. I think that's why he did that? Because he was just, like, trying to not have everyone be like, oh, you copied him.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And that was his, like, defense mechanism against it. But I've spent, you know, quite a bit of time with him, and I don't think he would say that, like, to our face necessarily.

[Ken]

I think it's just playing into his character, quite frankly.

[Mike]

Only one way to settle it, Ronald.

[Ken]

A drag race for things. Lips.

[Evan]

Yeah, maybe.

[Ken]

I don't know how fast you can really get going with a jet engine. Maybe after a hundred, he'll.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Ken]

Beating us. But, I mean, we'll have to go to, like, the salt flats if he's gonna do that.

[CJ]

How fast did he go in the video?

[Ken]

I'd imagine, like, it said 80. I think that's first kid.

[Mike]

He'd be better off putting wings on it, then take away, like, the fact of it being able to roll. Like, you'd be better off just getting.

[Ken]

Some actual lift and then challenge us to a flying race.

[CJ]

If you made that thing fly, I would, hands down, give them all the.

[Ben]

You got the coolest mini truck.

[Mike]

Yeah. That would be insane. It's the only mini truck that can fly.

[Ken]

Yeah. They're hell vehicles, man.

[Mike]

I think it's all fun and games. It's just, like. It's just funny that it's about a red mini truck at the end of the day. That's hilarious. Yeah.

[Ken]

I just had to bring it up because I know it's relevant right now and people are DMing us. People are commenting on our stuff, saying it. So I want to respond, but I think we got to run them in a drag race.

[Ben]

Mini truck combine.

[Ken]

Yeah. Winner gets to keep the other person's mini truck.

[CJ]

I bet he would love to squash ours. Yeah, that's a pretty good stakes.

[Ken]

Like, Gavin would legit cry, wouldn't you?

[Evan]

Look at this.

[Mike]

I do want to go on record and say I'm not pissed about it, but I will be pissed if we can't race him and beat him.

[Evan]

And you'd be even more pissed if we lost the race and then lost the mini truck.

[Mike]

Yeah, that would be bad. But then I guess maybe I could just build a faster one.

[CJ]

Then he would have grounds to stand on. We couldn't be mad if he says his is better and then he beats us.

[Evan]

That would obviously suck for everyone. Yeah.

[CJ]

Nothing we can do about it. We lost fair and square.

[Ben]

Then he gets to crush it with his tank.

[Mike]

I also got to say, he does have a nice hat. Oh, and. And one more thing. I did I did get a gift for you guys.

[Evan]

Oh, look at this.

[Mike]

I got the last one we got. What was that eight months ago? Three million.

[Ken]

Wow.

[Mike]

Let's go, Gavin.

[Ken]

Thank you. Hey. Four million subscribers, baby.

[Ben]

What are we celebrating with Corbel?

[CJ]

There's only one bottle. Came and get Liddy.

[Mike]

Yeah. So that's the thing. Eight months ago, that was what I could afford. Today, that's all the C Store had.

[Evan]

There we go.

[Ken]

There we go.

[Mike]

Well, hey, thank you, Gav. Thanks, Gav. Cruise. Crucial part of us hitting 4 milli, by the way, Gav. I will say that, dude.

[Ken]

Without everyone on our team, from obviously Dalton behind the camera and now kind of in front of it, the mechanics, the fabricators, Andy, Randy, Justin, all the designers, the team is pretty big nowadays, which, honestly, I don't think ever. Oh, no.

[Evan]

But sorry, that was insane.

[Ken]

Wouldn't be able to do it without everyone on our team.

[Evan]

We're doing a little start giveaway this weekend, so stay tuned for that. You'll see it on Thursday's video. And we have some fun fall gear that we designed. I don't know. You guys just got to stay tuned.

[Ken]

We're in it.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Start giveaway.

[Ken]

So start giveaway.

[Evan]

You guys have been, you know, like.

[Ken]

Merch will be available.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Longer than that.

[Evan]

We've been doing, like. Like some big giveaways, and we want to keep doing that, but we also want to, like, do some smaller, shorter giveaways.

[Mike]

And, man, I just dirt bikes, man. Just weird desire to grab that bottle and just start spraying it.

[Ken]

All right, so we were in Nashville this weekend, just kind of on a little trip for fun. We had our girls with and everything. I paid for the Airbnb and had, like, the insurance thing or whatever it is. You gotta put a deposit down in case you break. Yeah, security deposit. Ben is like, two in the morning one night. He's got all this champagne. He's, like, just about to pop it and start spraying it all over the inside.

[Mike]

Go.

[Ken]

Don't do that. Don't do that. Like, no, like, because, you know, it makes a huge mess. It's almost impossible to clean up. Last night, the very last night we're there, I'm tired as shit because we've been running around for four days straight, pretty much just walking around in bars. So I go to bed, wake up in the morning to find out, popped a champagne bottle and sprayed it all over the fucking place, dude.

[Evan]

He sprayed it. Like, won a damn NASCAR race.

[Mike]

Like, I don't know what it is about. Yeah, luckily, I got my security positive back. No, no, no. I did cleaned it. I did spray it, and I immediately was like, oh, CJ's gonna be pissed, right? So I go, Jeff, grab a rag. And me and Jeff wiped the whole kitchen down. It probably looked better than it did when we got there, but it is. It's just too fun.

[Matt]

Last weekend, normally, I'm the one booking the Airbnbs, all that.

[Mike]

Dude, that was hard, not having to.

[Ken]

I did not like doing that.

[Ben]

That.

[Ken]

I did not like doing that. I didn't know what I was doing. No one else knew what they were doing because I was leading it.

[Mike]

Yeah, dude, Ken, seriously, bro, appreciate you so much for every time we travel, you book everything, and that actually does not go unnoticed. No, it doesn't.
