Transcript

[Ryan]

All right, welcome back to the wide Jesus. Sorry, bro.

[Ben]

Might have to leave that one.

[Ryan]

Welcome back to the Life Wide Open podcast. Cut to Gavin and Evan.

[Ben]

You guys look good over there.

[CJ]

Okay, so it's Sunday night right now. We don't normally run pods Sunday nights, but the vibes. The vibes have been high. And we were just like, we. We had quite the weekend, as we'll get into in the upcoming hour here, and we were like, there's so many stories. We feel like we need to just sit down on the podcast and just share them all before we forget and before we mostly tell each other because, like, we kind of split this weekend. Mike and Ryan were doing their own thing, and then the rest of us were doing our own, so it should be a good one.

[Ryan]

Where do we start?

[Mike]

Well, Gavin got in, what, Thursday, Friday night.

[Gavin]

Friday night, yeah. Didn't see Mike until this morning.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah. There's some beef.

[Ryan]

There's some beef going on.

[Ben]

So Gavin got in on Friday night, and I left Friday night before you picked him up. And I don't know, I guess you kind of did, too, later. But I wasn't here until, like, today, midday. And you guys kind of told Gavin that we didn't like him anymore.

[Ryan]

Well, no, you just never have liked him. That's why you guys don't think the action.

[Ben]

Oh, so you told him that I've never liked him?

[Ryan]

Well, I told the truth because I'm a good friend and I hang out with him.

[Gavin]

He said all we are. We're just acquaintances.

[CJ]

To be fair, he kind of was the one that said it, and we were just like, yeah, you're kind of right.

[Ben]

Oh, yeah. So he said, why are Ryan and Micah not here?

[CJ]

Well, do they not, like, come?

[Ryan]

He comes up all the way from Colorado, and you guys dip.

[Ben]

How do we want to, like. I feel like Ken right now, but do we want to, like, throw it back and, like, do some track record here? Because, like, me and Gavin.

[Ryan]

Gavin's pretty.

[Gavin]

Takes off. No, I. I will get going. I mean, yeah, Ryan, first night ever. Ever coming up here. I'm trying to hang out with him, and, oh, he just leaves. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. Stuck with Ben and cj. And that was that. And that after that.

[CJ]

I love how he's looking directly at the camera.

[Ken]

I realized, hey, I was hanging out. You're stuck with Ben and cj.

[Gavin]

I was there. Well, I know, but I wanted to hang. Ryan's the one that formally invited me.

[CJ]

Should we just have Gav on press.

[Ben]

The Button where the crowd cheers.

[CJ]

What up, Gav?

[Ryan]

Gavin, the three wheeler. God.

[Gavin]

Put these on. Here we go. All right.

[CJ]

For those listeners wondering who is this guy shred 80. I'd say about a year ago, Gavin posted this video on YouTube calling us out for, like, not going on thin enough ice, where he proceeds to then drive his three wheeler onto the ice and then fall through immediately. And he was like, that's some real thin ice. And then a bunch of people were tagging us in it and I was like, I'm not sure if this is a joke or if he's actually like trying to call us out and start something here. And it kind of died there, Right? And then fast forward like six months later, Ryan is like, hey, yeah, I've been talking to that three wheeler kid that. That like called us out on the thin ice video and then fell through the ice. Yeah, he's gonna be here in like 45 minutes.

[Gavin]

That's how that went. Yeah, it was a friendly call out, but I knew the ice was. I knew the ice was thinner than anything you guys have been on before. So I did want to. Did want to teach you guys a thing or two, which I think we did.

[CJ]

So then Gavin shows up. Yeah, you showed us. Then Gavin shows up, we meet him. The first time ever meeting was on camera when we like roll up and this dude just had the best energy. And we pretty much been best friends ever since.

[Gavin]

Three wheelers.

[Ryan]

When you first pulled up, he rolls up in this 19. What is it, 1989 Dodge Cummins.

[Gavin]

Oh.

[Ryan]

Just burbling along with. He's got five three wheelers, like just throwing on this trailer, one on the back. They're all like kind of hanging off the side of the trailer, barely even strapped down. And he jumps out and he's this ball of energy. He's all sweaty. He's wearing jeans. It's like 90 degree out jeans.

[Gavin]

I drove halfway across North America with no AC.

[Ryan]

No AC.

[Gavin]

No AC.

[Ryan]

And he jumps out and he's just.

[Gavin]

Yes, Yelling, hey, man, I'm Gavin.

[Ryan]

And he's just screaming the whole time. I'm like, is this guy on drugs? I legit thought you were on drugs when I first met you.

[CJ]

And.

[Gavin]

I was pumped off my mouth doing lunchable. That's all I had.

[Ryan]

You were just being yourself. You were just being yourself.

[CJ]

But. And then we.

[Ryan]

We kept filming and eventually I was like, I wonder if he's just trolling us because it was like, you rolled up. We were filming.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And then I was like, he's Gotta be just trolling us. There's no way he's actually like this in real life. Cameras go off, we're done filming for the day, and you're still acting exactly how you act. I'm like, when is this guy gonna put the. You know, put his curtain down here? And just kept doing. It was about an hour later. And then we're like, you know what? You want to just stay for the weekend? We kind of like this guy.

[CJ]

Yeah, it was pretty funny because before that, we were like, well, how long's this guy staying?

[Ben]

That's right.

[CJ]

And Ryan's like, well, we were worried.

[Ryan]

Because there's, like, you know, random.

[Gavin]

Never know.

[CJ]

You never know.

[Ryan]

You never know.

[Gavin]

No, I had no plan. I didn't know where I was going to stay. I didn't know anything. Yeah, no, I could have drove to Fargo maybe, but I didn't really tell my buddy I was actually coming.

[CJ]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Gavin]

I could have gone over there if I had to, but.

[CJ]

Oh, no way.

[Gavin]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

So, yeah, I was asking Ryan. I was like, well, why is he coming here? And Ryan was like, oh, he's going to see a buddy in Fargo. And he was like, yo, I'll be close. Should I just swing by with all my three wheelers? That was a cap to this moment. I thought that's what you were actually doing.

[Gavin]

I stopped by and got a beer with him on the way out, but I haven't been playing much else. I was just kind of sending it up.

[Ryan]

Came all the way up from Colorado to get a beer.

[CJ]

So didn't you say before you got here, like, you were, like, an hour out, and Ryan still hadn't responded with, like, our address or telling you to really come? For sure.

[Gavin]

Yeah, I drove to Watertown or whatever the first night. 12 hours, 13 hours of driving, and I text him, I'm here. Send him a picture and everything of all the Wheelers. Leaves me on red. Leave me on red. Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

That's when you should have known what kind of person Ryan is.

[Gavin]

Oh, I got worried. I got worried right away. And, yeah, so freaking woke up the next morning, still didn't know. Still didn't know. Ate breakfast, 10:30, rolled around, start starting the truck up. Finally sent to me. I was like, oh, my gosh, I don't just have to drive around cormorant looking for him. And so got the address, pulled up, now we're here. Now we're here.

[Ben]

I mean, three times, hanging out later. Like, it's so fun that you made the impression that you did. And now, now we're here like three times later. We're like, gavin, you want to fly out? You want to do some three wheeler shit? And then you have no other answer.

[CJ]

Than, hell, yeah, dude, Gavin's our booty call. Fly out now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, like an Instagram model.

[Gavin]

That's what it is. I mean, three wheelers, though, baby, and having fun.

[CJ]

I called up Gavin last week and I was like, hey, bro, we're filming three wheelers on tracks. Do you want to come? And he was like, when are you thinking? And I was like, preferably fly you out in two days. And he was like, okay, baby, let's run it.

[Gavin]

Heck, yeah.

[Ben]

And then you're like, do you mind if we. Like, we haven't planned a flight home yet. So, yeah, just do your thing till we need you. And you're like, yep, I don't know when I'm going home.

[Gavin]

No, we're just hanging out, having fun, whatever. Right? Three wheeler. It's great, dude.

[Ben]

I almost want to hear. So, like, what. What happened today?

[CJ]

In.

[Ben]

In Gavin's words.

[CJ]

Which one? Which day?

[Ben]

Today.

[CJ]

Oh, today. What did happen today?

[Ben]

What happened today, in your words?

[Gavin]

We slept in a little bit, right?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

And I've been hearing a lot of stuff about you. It started off we were going to go searching for you.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah. We were going to break you out.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah. That's actually how the day started.

[Ryan]

You, Gavin shows up, and then you dip. Ryan dips. You guys are nowhere to be found. Per usual. Ryan did show up to do the filming, but he was not saying a second longer than he had to. You didn't even show up for work. What the hell?

[Ben]

Oh, wait, we were working on Saturday?

[Gavin]

Yeah, we're filming all day, bro.

[Ben]

That's my bad.

[Gavin]

Yep. Yep.

[Ryan]

So we were looking at your location. We were just seeing just a dot on the map and it was not moving. So we were. After 48 hours, we were like, we gotta. I don't know if he's okay.

[CJ]

Yeah, we were worried that you were.

[Ryan]

Being, like, held captive or something. So we legit were on our way to go pick you up, but then we saw that you were on your way here.

[Ben]

No, I was just hanging.

[CJ]

Well, we didn't know. We didn't know what the. What the situation was if she had you, like, tied up in a closet.

[Gavin]

We were getting worried. We were worried. So, yeah, that.

[Ben]

But then I can't complain that you guys had my back like that.

[CJ]

Yeah, we were gonna be there for you. Well, originally we were like, yo, how funny would it be? Well, actually, I'm. Nah, I'm gonna say this one. It still might happen.

[Ben]

No, I was just like, I was gonna come Saturday. I was like, well, I really want to hang out with Gavin. And then it's like the. Well, Gavin's gonna be there all week. You got a point. I guess. And then it's like, that's where. That's where it was. I was like, but I miss you, man.

[Gavin]

So does Evan like me more? He wants to hang out with me all weekend and week.

[Ben]

I think he does.

[CJ]

Who?

[Gavin]

I've been with you the whole time, you guys.

[Ben]

Dude, I love this.

[Gavin]

I love this.

[Ben]

Like, this whole, like, who's close? Who's more legit with Gavin. Dude. I guess I'm obviously after this weekend. Not. But before that, I was like, no.

[Unknown]

Yeah, we were.

[CJ]

Jeez, man.

[Gavin]

We were texting. Yeah.

[Ken]

I mean, we have a three wheeler bond that no one.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

No one else can compete with Gavin.

[Ben]

And Evan like that. Something really can't break down.

[Ryan]

Gavin and Ryan do now have a bond with the Hummer. Yeah.

[Gavin]

Oh, well, we don't want to get into that quite yet because I started off little hostile at him this morning. Yeah, gosh, I don't even want to talk about it. But we. We will go into detail. So I don't want to talk about.

[CJ]

It, but let me go into great detail.

[Gavin]

We will. So, yeah, Mike's.

[CJ]

He's such a podcaster.

[Gavin]

We see Mike's location. He's on the way back. So we're like, all right, we're good there. We're good there. Let's go find Ry. Let's go find Ry. So we're on our way to go get Ryan and he's doing the drive by in the Hummer. And I was like, holy crap, look at that piece. That thing is a piece.

[CJ]

That thing is a piece.

[Ryan]

That's the first thing he said.

[CJ]

He said, that thing's a piece from the back.

[Gavin]

No way.

[CJ]

That thing is a piece of.

[Gavin]

Surprised. It was moving down the road. Yeah, I couldn't believe it. Yeah.

[Ryan]

So he rolls up in a 1989 Dodge.

[CJ]

Coming.

[Gavin]

No AC. We pull.

[CJ]

We pull up to the shop and the. The Hummer's sitting there and he goes, no way.

[Gavin]

Didn't think it could stop without hitting the shop. And that's when. That's when Ben and CJ are like, just go in there and tell him it's a piece. And I was like, I don't want to be that mean. So we walk in There.

[CJ]

I don't want to do it.

[Ben]

All right, let's go.

[Gavin]

Start off. Hey, Ry, why. Why are you not being that cool towards me? And then.

[Ben]

I love that. I love that. By not being that cool towards me.

[Gavin]

And then it started to transform into, dude, your Hummer is a bit of a piece.

[Ryan]

He started going after it.

[Gavin]

It's not that nice. We don't like it that much. The brakes don't work. It's a piece.

[Ben]

And I've. I learned that if. If Gavin calls something a piece, it means it's. It's done for, man.

[Gavin]

If it's.

[Ben]

It's not good.

[CJ]

Gavin, you would never be seen driving a Hummer. Like that moment. Let me rephrase that. You would never be seen driving Ryan's Hummer.

[Gavin]

Yeah, I couldn't drive a Hummer.

[Ryan]

I think the best thing of it was we didn't really know where you're going with it, Gav, but you just, like, almost started producing, and you're like, I think you need to take it.

[CJ]

Over the rainbow rail.

[Gavin]

And then Ryan thought that this was, like, the big plan all along, but.

[Ryan]

It wasn't, and you just started, like, moving towards it.

[Ken]

All right.

[Gavin]

I guess it did escalate very quickly. Did start to feel bad when Ryan started to. I could tell. He's like, oh, this is real. Like, we're. We're about to do this, dude.

[Ryan]

I. But now you can't talk on Ryan Summer, to be clear, it's a unit and a legend.

[CJ]

It is. It really is.

[Ryan]

It.

[CJ]

It proved itself. I think anything that goes over the rainbow rail, that's like. That's the standard now. Yeah, like, if you.

[Ryan]

Standard, yeah, 100%.

[CJ]

So, anyway, yeah, no, a lot of respect for Ryan's Hummer now. Wow. How the. How the turns have tabled over the last couple podcasts.

[Ben]

The.

[CJ]

The Hummer, I swear, is just like the. The vehicle that just keeps on giving. It started out as a joke, and.

[Ryan]

Then it just is.

[CJ]

Well, it was stated, and now it's just a leg just trying to get around.

[Gavin]

It's a great machine. It's not a piece. Very luxurious, man. I take everything back.

[CJ]

No, it's great now.

[Ryan]

It's great. But anyway, so something I want to get into a little bit, Gav, because, you know, you've been a part of a few of. Well, I'd say a few of Our most viral YouTube videos you've been a part of, you know, and you just basically forced yourself into them and just. And you've been a star in them.

[Gavin]

You've done great.

[Ryan]

I mean, now. Now we're just begging for you to come back, but, you know, you're. There's just something about you that makes you different from everyone else.

[Gavin]

A good different.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Good difference.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yes.

[Ryan]

You just have such, like, positivity and such great energy and, and you just really contagiously fun to be around. And obviously you're unique. You're a redneck.

[Gavin]

Thank you.

[Ryan]

You're self proclaimed redneck.

[Ben]

Like an energy that you can't ask people to have, but either have it or they don't.

[Ryan]

You're interesting, you know, just as is. But the more I get to know you, the more interesting you get as I get to know more and more about you. So one of my favorite things about Gavin is, you know, you see him pull up in his. In his 1989 Dodge Cummins, which you know is a rust bucket. It's. It's, it's no ac.

[CJ]

Beautiful rig.

[Gavin]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Ryan]

But I could not believe he made it from Colorado here. And I didn't think he was going to make it back, quite frankly.

[Gavin]

I made it back no problem.

[Ryan]

Well, yeah, I was wrong. But you show us this picture of your family, I'm expecting to see fellow rednecks. The total opposite. The total opposite.

[Gavin]

They're all doing this. My stepsister. Dude, you brought it up, bro. No, I didn't want.

[Ben]

I was, I was thinking that too. I was like, are we doing this? It sounds like we're doing this.

[Gavin]

I wasn't even bringing it up.

[Ryan]

I was just saying you're.

[Ben]

What?

[Gavin]

Go ahead. No, keep going. No, I don't.

[Ryan]

You're talking.

[CJ]

I want to hear where you're going.

[Gavin]

I love that.

[CJ]

I love the counter.

[Ben]

Gavin's going on offense.

[Gavin]

Yeah, no, I'm not on defense anymore. Go ahead.

[Mike]

So.

[Ryan]

So he shows us this picture of his family, and they're like, clean cut, like very. I mean, they're not redneck. They're not redneck. They're wearing suits.

[Ben]

They mom's driving a loaded Yukon.

[Gavin]

The Jaguar.

[Ryan]

Oh. How so? My question, Gavin, you don't come from a redneck family. They're far from it. Were you born this way? Did you. At what age did you decide you're going to be a redneck? Because I know you're.

[Gavin]

You don't.

[Ryan]

You don't come from a redneck family, but you are 100 a redneck in my book.

[Unknown]

You.

[Ryan]

You earned the title. You had to work for it. Some people are just born that way.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Like, you know, that's I mean I. Waking up at 5:30 when you're in middle school to watch Monster Jam, that'll do a lot to you. I mean did you really 100. It's the best. I'd make sure. I'd wake up early to watch Monster Jam and watching Dennis Anderson and the Gravedigger. Just send it. Oh my gosh.

[CJ]

Gavin's parents are like, what the wrong with our son? Don't you think he's getting a little redneck? Yeah, baby. He's just finally finding something he's passionate about. He's just a stage.

[Ryan]

Chugging Mountain Dew and eating Doritos.

[Ben]

That's amazing, dude. So the Monster Jam infected you. I'd say you got a bit of Colorado ranch water in you too.

[Gavin]

Yep, yep. On the lake and stuff like that. So that was a big part of it. And freaking playing in the river all day. Wakeboard. I can throw the tantrum still here and there and get down on the hydrofoil, but how's that redneck? No.

[CJ]

You're just being a dick. That's what I found.

[Ben]

That's what I found fun about like watching some of your videos. Like you live in Colorado, there's mountains and this and that, what you get in Colorado. But you're still very similar to what we do around here. Lakes and redneck.

[Gavin]

What? You guys are rednecks?

[Ryan]

I, yeah, I mean I wouldn't call myself one partially.

[Gavin]

I'd say you guys.

[Ryan]

I mean there's maybe a little bit.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah, I think we do redneck.

[Gavin]

Okay.

[CJ]

But I don't know if I would say that we are by nature rednecks, but we're also pretty interested in like a lot of things. Like yesterday I go, gav, what do you think of Bugattis?

[Ryan]

The whole time when I'm hanging with him, I ask him things.

[CJ]

I was on, on Instagram, I saw one, I was like, gav, what do you think of Bugatti? And he goes, oh, those things. No, I got my dream whip.

[Ben]

I love that. See that's a very unique answer because most people like, oh, those are great, you know, whatever. But that's a unique answer.

[Gavin]

Yeah, I got the 12 valve Cummins. What else do you ask for? Well, I mean there's nothing else you can ask for in life.

[CJ]

Just a couple three wheelers to throw on the bed.

[Gavin]

Couple big reds, 50 every.

[Ben]

Every couple nights before I go to bed, I pray that Gavin finds some. Some two stroke barn finds.

[Gavin]

Yeah, dude.

[CJ]

So what's up with the, the whole three wheeler thing? Like where did that come from?

[Gavin]

All right, well, my dad just kind of told me about him when I was growing up. Never really saw him too much. Grew up on the dirt bike. Had the Yamaha 50 or whatever.

[CJ]

Like the Legend of three wheels. Yeah.

[Ben]

It's interesting that you didn't grow up. No, no, particularly, no.

[Gavin]

Yeah, didn't really. My dad just talked about him.

[Ryan]

This is what I'm going. This is what I'm saying.

[CJ]

He had to work hard to get.

[Ryan]

To be a redneck.

[CJ]

Other people are just born.

[Ryan]

He wasn't just born like. Like some of the other ones, you know.

[Gavin]

No, it didn't just happen overnight. It did not just happen overnight.

[Ryan]

And buy his own shitty truck.

[Gavin]

Oh, no, I had to. I had to go chase down these old farmers in the middle of nowhere. I mean, hey, don't call my truck shitty. It's not shitty. It might have a little rust, but it has a 12 valve.

[CJ]

Dude, how many times does CJ either called the truck a piece of. Or in a roundabout way.

[Gavin]

I think he's starting to get jealous because I know Ryan was wanting one and I know you were one. Everybody was wanting a first gen, so stop. Everyone's wanting a 12 valve or diesel. So don't go there. Don't go there.

[CJ]

Okay.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So you weren't born into it. You had to work for it, huh?

[Gavin]

Yeah. How to work for it? And so finally, I'm on the marketplace, on the good old Gunnison marketplace, and I see the three wheeler.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

No clue what it is.

[CJ]

What?

[Gavin]

What do you mean, no? Like, I didn't know. What, what size. I didn't know. No, no, I knew it had three wheels and it was red. That's all I knew, though. Holy sm.

[CJ]

Wheeler's missing a wheel.

[Gavin]

Well, I'd never seen one in person or anything, so this was crazy. I was like, wow, these really exist? These really? No. And this was, I swear, four years ago, five years, never seen one in person.

[Ben]

I was just about to be like. You were a. A little kid, though.

[Gavin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, 18. Oh, I was 18. No, I was 18 when I bought my first one. And so, yeah, I show up to the trailer park where it was sitting, right? And she. She.

[Ben]

She.

[CJ]

Pull into the trailer park and go, holy.

[Gavin]

I was like, what, home? Yeah. It ended up being my second cousin I bought it from. No, no. But, yeah, pull in the trailer park. She walks out. We can't get the thing started for jack. Crap. Trying to get it started.

[CJ]

Trying like, oh, my God, it's perfect.

[Gavin]

Oh, my God, it's Great. And so she can't get it started. It's just her. She's like, I need neighbor Billy Joe to come over and p. Pump her up for us or whatever. So he comes over fresh, comes over with the ether. No, not the. Either. Just a fresh can of gas and whatever. Throws a little gas in there. We're kicking it. Kicking. She starts up, starts purring like a kitten. But then they start having this conversation. Hey, I get half this money, right? No, Joe said, you don't get half this money. So, yes, they were. Oh, she. And I mean, they did participate in. Not recreational drugs, so little crackheads. But yeah, they were crackheads.

[CJ]

First three wheeler from crackheads.

[Gavin]

No. So they. She got very upset when they were trying to split the money. I could tell she was hostile about it, but I try to stay cool. I. I calm the situation. Joe ended up walking off. He's like, all right, whatever. Screw you. Keep all the money. So we start negotiating. She started at 500. I throw her 350. She says yes in a heartbeat, like, so.

[CJ]

Oh, yes.

[Gavin]

Yes. Like, she was getting ready. She already. She had her guy on speed dial, and she was good. She was heading down the street right as I said. And give it. Right As I said, 350. And so screwed up right there. Bought it for 350. Still the best thing I've ever done. Started the Three Blur collection right there.

[Ben]

Amazing.

[Gavin]

Yeah. You just started collecting them, started buying them, started killing it on the marketplace. I mean, if you're on it 24, seven, you can hit it. Whatever. $50, three wheeler.

[CJ]

It's just amazing to me.

[Ryan]

How old are you, Gavin?

[Gavin]

22.

[Ryan]

So they had discontinued making three wheelers probably a decade before you were even born.

[Gavin]

1987 in the US and then 88 in Australia.

[Ryan]

You know, book on them.

[CJ]

Yeah, thank you for that information.

[Mike]

How do you.

[Gavin]

How do you like.

[Ryan]

It's just. It'd be one thing if you grew up riding three wheels. And it's like, I just loved him. I have so much fun. But you just are like, I'm. I'm going back in time.

[Gavin]

Oh, 100. Well, first. Second. We got it out to the lake, we put it in the mud hole, sunk it about five feet underwater, pulled the spark plug, started up two kicks. After two kicks, she was running. That's when I knew.

[CJ]

Yeah. So I was. Three wheelers. I was gonna ask.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Have you wrote a four wheeler?

[Gavin]

No, I don't really like them. I mean, we just, like.

[CJ]

We try stability, safety.

[Gavin]

Nothing about them. And the guys that Ride them. Don't tend to like them that much. And kidding. Right. You gave me that shower. I love you. No, no, the outdoor shower. Hey, you know that you guys got it on camera. I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Ben]

But I mean, you still approach that in a really.

[Gavin]

No, don't put it like that.

[CJ]

What?

[Gavin]

When he had to give me the spray down. You know what I'm talking.

[Ben]

Yes, I do.

[Ken]

Ok.

[Gavin]

Okay.

[Ben]

I do know what you're talking about, Ken.

[Gavin]

Don't get excited over there, Gavin, but you.

[Ryan]

He's got a little bit left for you, Ken.

[Gavin]

You chill, chill, chill.

[Ben]

You referenced that like, let's say four times over the past year. You're like, oh, yeah, Ryan, we're legit because of the shower you gave me. And I was like, maybe.

[Gavin]

Don't say that. Don't say that. It was a real. It was a great moment. I mean, does it get much better? A four wheeler guy spraying down a three wheeler guy.

[Ryan]

Super soaking them?

[Ben]

Yeah, actually, we do have that clip, so we'll pop that up right there.

[Ryan]

So.

[CJ]

So this is how trike guys take showers. Very vital that they have a quad guy give it to them.

[Ryan]

You know, with how much love you have for your three wheelers.

[Gavin]

Yep.

[Ryan]

I. I can only imagine how hard it was when you watched that one burn down on the ice. What's the story on that?

[Gavin]

You.

[Ryan]

You were gonna tell me, but I said don't tell me until we're on the podcast.

[Gavin]

Yeah, I really don't want to talk about this.

[Ryan]

It's touchy subject.

[Gavin]

So. No, it sucks. I might, I might cry a little bit.

[Ben]

So let's go into detail.

[Gavin]

So, Ben, can we pop the video up? Oh, yeah, we can pop it right here. But Ben Snapchatted me because I posted a picture of us out on the ice fishing or whatever. And he's like, dude, stud those tires up. Up and freaking make a YouTube video. I was like, dang it, what am I doing? Just fishing. He's right. So a week later, I go home, I get home, stud the crap out of the 350x tires. I mean, we're talking, what, 300 screws in each tire? And she. I've never did it right. Oh, did it right. So put it on the ice, started leaking, started freaking pissing fuel. I was like, oh, this isn't good. She needs a carb clean because it had been sitting for six months. Didn't take it back up to Gunnison. And so I was like, ah, what do I do here? Do I film the video right now. Got good lighting. Looks nice out. Or do I wait until tomorrow? Clean the car. Be proper with her. Treat it like my baby. Like which she. Which she is. No, screw it. We're gonna rip it. So start doing my hot flaps, man. Feeling good. Still pissing fuel, but it's running great. So I'm like, it can't be that bad. Can't be that bad. I wrote it for a solid hour.

[Ryan]

Jesus.

[Ben]

Wrote it first because you're having fun. Studded tires.

[Gavin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. Oh, no. It was. She was cruising around. Ye. That's my baby right there.

[Ben]

That's his face for the whole scenario right there.

[Gavin]

And next thing I know, I was going mid wheelie. Feeling good. Started on fire while you were riding. Oh, no, right here. Midweeling, lit on fire. Nothing we can do.

[CJ]

Hold up a second.

[Ryan]

You have this on film when it burst into flames.

[Gavin]

Oh, everything's right here. Watch it.

[Ryan]

Play it.

[Ben]

Bro, you haven't seen the video.

[Gavin]

Thanks, man.

[Ryan]

I saw the Instagram clip, and here it is.

[Gavin]

Oh. Yep. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Went for the helmet. Oh, the helmet didn't put it out. Helmet would get it out. She starts igniting.

[CJ]

Dude, I thought the helmet definitely would have put it out.

[Gavin]

Whipping the chip over. Nothing happened there. Oh, he's going for the water. He's going for the water.

[Ben]

Ah, Turn it up, Turn it up.

[Gavin]

Yep. Oh, Trying to rip the tank off.

[Ben]

It happened so fast.

[Gavin]

Oh, way too fast. There's no.

[Ben]

No snow either.

[Gavin]

No, no.

[Ben]

An inch of snow would have been just fine.

[Gavin]

That's the 350. I'm here. No.

[Ryan]

Were you full?

[CJ]

Were you full? Panic.

[Gavin]

Oh, I was freaking out.

[Ryan]

What do you do?

[Gavin]

Right there. That's the king of the hill. That's the machine. Oh, it gets worse. It gets worse. I don't know. I can't watch.

[CJ]

Let me hear this.

[Gavin]

Wait. Oh, going for the jacket. Got the shirt off. Almost had it right there.

[Ryan]

How the does this not have more views?

[Gavin]

Oh. Oh, no. Gav, we need to back up. Yep, we need to back up. Oh, man. Wait, wait, wait for this. It's not doing. No, not putting it out. Just getting bigger.

[CJ]

Dude, how thick is the ice?

[Gavin]

It's only, like, 4 inches. Oh, that's why my buddy's like, get a log right now and break the ice. And we let it fall through.

[CJ]

You might save stuff.

[Gavin]

We were about to. Wait, wait, you got. She's still alighting. She's still light. Okay. You guys are gonna love this. Run by.

[Unknown]

Look at that.

[Gavin]

Just Frantic. Your hands are. Oh, yeah. Then there's me looking for. Oh, did you hear the no at the end? Yeah, it was not happy. And then we're on to the next morning. But yeah, she loved and flames. I should have just do a car. How many views that have. Not enough. I love how many views.

[Ryan]

9.5K views. If go watch that video after this podcast, guys. We're gonna put it in the.

[Gavin]

We're gonna.

[Ryan]

We're gonna link his channel in the description. You guys got to go throw Gavin a sub.

[CJ]

Go back.

[Ken]

Go back.

[CJ]

Click. Why didn't you title it my three years? I would have just Fire on ice.

[Ryan]

Go.

[CJ]

Go. Click on the. Click on Shred 80 and then check the thumbnail.

[Ryan]

Dude, that. That is way better of a thumbnail. Just had it on fire. Say three wheeler starts on fire while you're wheeling.

[Gavin]

Oh, we had it. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Where's it at?

[Gavin]

Right there. It's the ice skate one.

[Ben]

What?

[Gavin]

Bro, I know. That's dumb. I'll change it.

[Ryan]

Let's make a new one right after this.

[CJ]

We got you. We'll help you here.

[Gavin]

Damn it.

[CJ]

Dude, that was a great idea.

[Ben]

That was like a such a fun video to watch, and it felt like I'm like, oh, Gavin's got it. Like, it was a great idea. You executed it. It was just. It was a fun. It was a fun idea. Fun video.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[CJ]

Oh, that's pretty good.

[Gavin]

Me and I've had a little.

[CJ]

There you go, dude.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

That's right.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

You guys gotta chill. Chill, chill. No, we went and wrote some three wheelers together. No gap.

[CJ]

We're gonna help you out with. With literally just your title and thumbnails because, I mean, it's great stuff. You're incredibly entertaining and you got great ideas. I was telling you this the other day too. You don't just have to do three wheeler stuff. I know that's your brand. I know. I know you love from the 80s. I know it's gonna be hard to do anything, but that's the other thing, bro. You. You could do anything and make it entertaining. So, like, you might as well just stray away from just doing three wheelers, you know?

[Gavin]

Right. No 100%. That's why I'm trying to get in the jet Ski snowmobiles didn't work out that well for us, but yeah, we'll play around.

[CJ]

Yeah. Anyway, though, another thing that I wanted to talk about that I thought was just, like, so brilliant, and I mean, the View show is the scuba.

[Ryan]

What?

[CJ]

Three wheelers.

[Gavin]

What is that 65 mil. Holy.

[CJ]

Dude, pop that one up.

[Gavin]

Yeah, no, it went crazy. That's a big red for you, though. We put that thing probably under the water 100 times, I swear to God. 100 times and it still starts right up like nothing. Electric start everything. I mean.

[Ben]

And that's when you truly believe.

[Gavin]

Electric start. Electric start still work everything. Headlight will still. It does not make. Make sense from the hell. Yeah. So what the heck?

[Ryan]

Were they built different?

[Gavin]

They knew what they were doing, and then they started making. Making stuff a lot crappier. Just so people, you need to find.

[Ryan]

A girlfriend from the 80s, dude. Born in the 80s.

[Gavin]

Yeah, the way you talk about it, dude.

[Unknown]

So, yeah, I was gonna ask that.

[CJ]

What?

[Gavin]

Rob loves the 80s. Your truck. Your truck's from the 80s, okay.

[Mike]

Your wheelers from the 80s type of girls, you went to Gaff, dude.

[Gavin]

Well, she ain't 280. She ain't a lady. Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys. But, yeah, that's just how it goes. I mean, there ain't nothing wrong with the heavy.

[Ben]

I absolutely love the way you end stories. Like when we were talking about the. Your three wheeler starting on fire, the way you ended it was. Yeah, this was crazy. Should have cleaned the carbs.

[Gavin]

And that's how that goes.

[CJ]

But so are you in the market for like an 80s born?

[Gavin]

Nah, I like the 2000s. I'm right around. Right around my age.

[Ken]

Really?

[Gavin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Gavin]

I mean, the 80s are sick, but yeah. Yeah, it's a little scary once they get old.

[Unknown]

So.

[Ben]

What.

[CJ]

What's. Oh, really?

[Gavin]

I wouldn't know. I mean, just keep going. What are you gonna say.

[Ben]

Gav?

[Mike]

Dude, you're like Theo Vaughn. I keep thinking you're like playing a character, but the more and more you talk, the more I realize that you're real.

[Gavin]

I appreciate that.

[Ryan]

I've had people ask me, so is he like. What's he like in real life? Like, is he actually like that? I'm like, exactly like he. Just on a hundred percent of the time, all the time. It's amazing. So I don't know where. How do you get that? Because it doesn't really seem like you come from that. Like, were you like, what the. How do you end up like, dude?

[Gavin]

Just being happy, man. Having fun. I love being. Being outside, man.

[Mike]

Just.

[Ryan]

I love that.

[Gavin]

Having fun with my friends, doing anything. That's freaking fun. That's what it's about.

[CJ]

Yeah, but even when you're not, you're still pretty vibed up.

[Gavin]

You still got to stay stoked. Man, you're out here for another day. Have some fun, man. Just. I mean, even if you can just put a smile on your face, that's fun. So do that, dude.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ben]

That's why I always want to see you succeed more than a lot of people trying to do exactly what you're doing. I want to see you succeed. Because when it's all not there or when you get 900 views, you're like, dude, it's still so fun, though, and I love it. And I want to do that. Versus some people are like, yeah. I mean, I'm not getting good views, but I want to be big. That's not what you're about. No.

[Ryan]

Gavin's one of the. One of the coolest dudes. One of the nicest dudes I've honestly ever met.

[Gavin]

I appreciate it.

[Ryan]

I'm being dead serious. You're really. I mean, just one of the best dudes. I don't really appreciate it. Like, I don't. Have you ever had a single enemy?

[Gavin]

Not really, no. I. I'm. I don't like to hate people.

[Ben]

And you're not like.

[Ryan]

I mean, you not like.

[Ben]

You, like. You might get into, like, a bar fight, but you're probably not a fighter. No, I'm saying, like, the redneck in them. Like, if you have to.

[Gavin]

Oh, if I. If I had something happen, One of the boys or someone's punching one of the boys or anything. Yeah, yeah. Then you step in and do something.

[Ben]

But otherwise. Yeah, no fight.

[Gavin]

Yeah. No, no.

[CJ]

Last night, we were at the bar and I was talking with one of my buddies, and Gavin came out of nowhere. It was packed in there. Gavin came out of nowhere and, like, kind of bumped into him. And he, like, turns around and Gavin's standing there. Gavin's like, looking at him and he goes, what's up? Wanna fight?

[Ryan]

And I'm like.

[CJ]

I'm like, oh, my God.

[Gavin]

And he goes, I'm just messing with you, buddy.

[CJ]

How's it going? And I.

[Gavin]

And then he looks over and he.

[CJ]

Sees me and I' like, this is my buddy Gavin. And.

[Ben]

And he was kidding.

[CJ]

Jack was like, what's up? And Gavin's like, what's up, buddy?

[Gavin]

And then keep going, what's up, baby?

[CJ]

He's like, oh, man, Gav. I thought. I thought he had a little bit of hostility there where he was, like, kind of walking around trying to big dick and. And start beef. And then as soon as he said, no, I'm just kidding, buddy. And then, like, hits him on the.

[Gavin]

Back, just making another friend Just making another friend.

[CJ]

So speaking of going to the bar last night, we. So it starts out limo night, Ryan gone, Mike gone. We go lose some money at the casino.

[Ryan]

Dipped.

[CJ]

We leave the casino. We were like, what should we do? Like, the night's still early. Let's go surprise Ryan.

[Ryan]

Like, roll up on Ryan. So Ryan was in Fargo in the bar scene with his girlfriend and my girlfriend and, like, a bunch of other friends of ours.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So we're gonna roll up on them.

[Ryan]

Be filming, make a funny bit. It's gonna be awesome. Do a two hour drive, because we were already an hour out from Cornwall, so it was a two hour drive there just to go surprise them. Roll up on them.

[CJ]

We get about 20 minutes away from the bar, and Ken calls and tells Ryan that we were coming to find him.

[Unknown]

I did not call and tell Ryan. I called Ryan. First off, we left the casino. We're like, okay, let's go find Ryan and Fargo, let's go meet up with Ryan.

[Ryan]

I think it was pretty clear that.

[Unknown]

I have a surprise 15ft away from you guys when you guys come up with the surprise idea. So I. I look at my phone. I see, okay, Ryan left the bowler. I. I'm at a juncture where I need to either keep going where I'm going or need to turn, and I'm like, okay, where are you going next? So I find out, okay, he's going downtown, Fargo. So I have to keep going the other opposite direction of where I would have gone.

[CJ]

You honestly can say that you knew.

[Unknown]

I'm being your sober driver. Take it for granted. Wait, don't be thankful I'm sober driving you. Please.

[Ken]

Are you sober now?

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[CJ]

I'm saying, did you know that it was a surprise?

[Unknown]

No, I did not.

[Gavin]

Not. Yes, he did.

[Unknown]

That was not communicated with me. That's going to be a surprise.

[Ryan]

All right.

[CJ]

Okay, okay. Just feeling it out. Feeling it out. If. If it was a rat still up in the air. I don't want to accuse you of that, and I do appreciate you driving, but I just wanted to hear your side of it.

[Ryan]

How is. How is dry, dry January going, Ken?

[Unknown]

It is super annoying trying having to be sober driver. It sucks.

[Gavin]

You're doing good. Good.

[Ryan]

You're doing. Yeah. You're doing God's work, Ken.

[Unknown]

It is the worst thing being sober driver.

[CJ]

You gonna start drinking again?

[Unknown]

I. I was this close at the end of the night, trying to herd cats to get everyone all together so we can leave. Let's go.

[Mike]

Can you imagine you push your sober driver to Drink.

[Gavin]

He's got a whole limo full of pizzas.

[Ryan]

It's too hard.

[Mike]

Starts chugging.

[Unknown]

I'm trying to get all of you guys together so we can leave, and you're just scattering constantly. Ken, like, okay, you got 10 minutes. We're leaving. If you're not in the car, that sucks.

[Ryan]

Yeah, dude, I. I do want to say, honestly, much props and respect from me, and I'd probably say everyone else here, let's give him a round of applause. Ken, you know, out of everyone besides for Evan, I think you would be. I thought you were going to be the hardest guy just to quit drinking. I thought it'd be the toughest on you, but you really proved us all wrong.

[CJ]

Well, it's been like two and a half weeks.

[Ryan]

I guess it wasn't all of January.

[Ken]

Yeah, he didn't just go sober for 10 years.

[Ben]

Two weeks.

[Ryan]

We're clapping over you.

[Unknown]

Other people said they're gonna do dry January, and they made it three days, Ryan.

[CJ]

Happens.

[Gavin]

Yeah, Ryan, you really did.

[CJ]

You took my advice on that one. If you're gonna give up, you might as well just give up right away.

[Mike]

I knew I wasn't gonna make it, so I just quit on the first weekend.

[Ken]

That's the way to do it. Don't drag yourself along just for failure.

[Ryan]

But anyways, good for you, Ken. That's awesome. Takes a lot of mental. Mental power just to not do something you want to do. So it's good exercise.

[CJ]

So.

[Ryan]

So, Gavin, what do you like? What's like, your. Your goal with the channel? Because, you know, do you have a goal? Are you just doing it?

[Gavin]

I mean, just keep having. Having fun and keep growing. Just having. I mean, get some subscribers and keep having fun, keep giving you guys great content and just get crazier. Right? I mean, have fun with it.

[Ken]

Grower, not a shower.

[Gavin]

That's what we'd like to consider it.

[Ken]

Respectable.

[Gavin]

Yeah, but no, really, just have as much fun as I can as possible and see where it goes. Nice.

[CJ]

What'd you go to school for, Gav?

[Gavin]

Oh, this is a good one. So, energy management with an emphasis in business management.

[CJ]

And you just graduated?

[Gavin]

Yep.

[CJ]

What does that even mean?

[Gavin]

So oil and gas is the energy management part, along with a little bit of solar and some renewables and then business management.

[Mike]

So.

[CJ]

Energy management.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Yeah, that was. Yeah. I mean, they had me in there taking pre calc, putting numbers. I mean, they were throwing Z's and R's in there, and I didn't know what it meant, but I passed it.

[CJ]

I'm just trying to picture you showing up to like, what would you even do with that?

[Gavin]

What would I even do with that? I mean, maybe some three wheeler math if I have to figure out the conference or something.

[CJ]

But I'm more on like the energy energy side. Like you're showing up to like these, like these sustainable energy sites, like windmills and stuff.

[Gavin]

Oh, yeah. Well, that's what they wanted me to do. I just want to ride three wheelers and have fun.

[Ken]

Can you give me an example of three wheeler math?

[Gavin]

Three wheeler math. Oh, dude, there's a lot of three wheeler. I mean, I have to find the circumference for. I mean, how the three wheeler is going to wheelie. Find the circumference for how it's going to go through the ice.

[Unknown]

I don't think so.

[Ryan]

He studies before he hops on the thing.

[Gavin]

It's all about circumference. Yeah. You.

[CJ]

You are an animal.

[Gavin]

Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. So school animal school was fun.

[Ryan]

So was there a lot of heavies there that were into.

[Gavin]

It's Gunnison. So it was up middle of the mountains. We got some redneck chicks for sure. Yeah.

[Ryan]

They were loving you or what?

[Gavin]

Oh, baby. Oh, yeah, of course. I mean, yeah, you just go gab.

[Ryan]

Doesn't kiss and tell, but no, you.

[Gavin]

Go to the local power stop, the local bar. We have little gas station bar. You go flip for your drink on Wednesday night nights. Just go crush it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Have my lady pick me up in her big old truck. It's a little stick shift. It was great.

[Ken]

A big little stick shift.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Yeah. And then on the way home.

[CJ]

Hold on, you lost me here. You're flipping for beers.

[Gavin]

You flip for beers? Yep. And then you just get like what?

[Ken]

You flip a quarter. If you lose, you pay for the beer.

[Gavin]

If you win, you get it free. Yeah.

[Ken]

And you do that every single year?

[Gavin]

Every single Wednesday night, everything. Yep. Tequila shots. You got whiskey shots.

[Ryan]

Awesome.

[CJ]

What's beautiful.

[Gavin]

You guys come to Powers up in Gunnison. Let's do it.

[Ken]

Is it a fair price if you lose or do they charge you like double to make up?

[Gavin]

Oh, no, it's like a. It's like a what? $3 shot and then like a $2 beer. Normal prices. It's a gas station. It's a gas station. That seems. Oh, it's for.

[Ryan]

It's.

[Gavin]

I love it.

[CJ]

A gas station bar.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

Yeah, man.

[CJ]

They're doing different. They're doing it different.

[Gavin]

Hey, no, that's why I had my 21st at best. 21st the man could ever ask for.

[Ryan]

Get drunk, drive home.

[Ken]

That's what I say.

[Mike]

When you.

[Ken]

When you do, you put the pump in the Cummins.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Leave her running, run inside, flip for a shot in a beard.

[Gavin]

I've done that once or twice. Oh, yeah. Easy money. Because it starts at all. It's actually all day Wednesday, so you don't even have to be partying. But the party starts around 8:00 everyone starts just rolling. It's the whole town of Gunnison. It's the only bar we have, really. Everything else got shut down after covet.

[Ken]

We might have to go investigate this spot.

[Gavin]

Well, then we got the dirty Mo. The Alamo. You don't want to go there.

[Ryan]

Sounds like a place Evan would like.

[Gavin]

Hey, you would like. They're smoking darts in there. Playing pool. Pool?

[Ken]

I don't want to smoke darts.

[Gavin]

You want to play pool?

[Ryan]

Get his ass kicked if he showed up.

[Ken]

Wait, are you saying.

[Gavin]

What are you talking about?

[Ken]

No, I don't know. Carry on.

[CJ]

Yes.

[Gavin]

So that. Yeah, those are two bars and go have fun. Hey, I don't know. Gunnison. Quite the place. Just caps.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

If there's anything you could do while you're here on this trip, Whip, or even in the world, dude.

[Gavin]

What?

[Ryan]

What would you want to do?

[Gavin]

I think we already did it. I freaking went over the Smart or over the rail in a Hummer. I mean, how does it get much better than that? Does it?

[Ryan]

I don't know if it does.

[Gavin]

Does it, Rye? It does not. No. It was amazing. So. Yeah, I can't beat that. I don't. There's nothing else to do.

[Ryan]

I've done everything you want to do, dude.

[Gavin]

Yeah, basically, yeah.

[Ryan]

Got your dream whip.

[Gavin]

You got my dream whip? Yeah.

[Ryan]

Jump to Hummer.

[Gavin]

Jump the Hummer. Got some three wheelers. What else does a man need? What else? I mean, maybe a. Maybe a heavy back at home, but that's it. I'm kidding. We love them all, though. We love them all.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

Ain't that right Of. Sorry, Nikki. Grapes. He had to get away from you for a little bit. We were heavy hunting for only 20 minutes. It was only 20 minutes.

[Ryan]

The last, though.

[Gavin]

That's exactly why I ignored all the calls. Sorry.

[Ryan]

So you didn't find any heavies last night?

[Gavin]

No, there was a couple. One of them had a boyfriend. You saw that one? She was a semi heavy.

[Ken]

You like as heavy as a semi or like borderline?

[Gavin]

No, we're talking borderline heavy. Borderline heavy. She was cute, though. She was cute.

[Ryan]

You're very open about your preference in women.

[Ben]

Why.

[Ryan]

Why do you prefer the heavies?

[Gavin]

Dude, they're. I don't.

[CJ]

You just.

[Gavin]

You know, there's just nothing wrong with the heavy.

[Ryan]

Well, I'm not saying there is.

[Gavin]

There's nothing.

[Ryan]

I'm just. You seem to.

[Gavin]

I don't chase heavy. No. I don't chase them. They just. They come to me pretty easily. Not easily, but let's start. Let's go start up a conversation, buy a beer. I mean, it's game on. Yeah, but it get a little heavy, you get a little skinny. And there's nothing wrong with either. Okay. Gotta love them all.

[CJ]

You're a man of the people.

[Gavin]

A man of the people. Yeah.

[Ryan]

He has no prejudice.

[Gavin]

No.

[Ryan]

He doesn't discriminate.

[Gavin]

No. You got a little. Yeah. Heavy. 280 sh. Ain't a lady. 180. She's still fine.

[Ken]

That didn't rhyme.

[Gavin]

No.

[CJ]

Man, the wheels are spinning. But we ain't going anywhere.

[Mike]

Gav, I got something for you.

[Gavin]

So if you.

[Mike]

You ever heard of. This place is called. I gotta figure out how to work on.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah.

[Gavin]

We don't wanna. We don't want to talk about this. This makes me almost sick.

[Mike]

We don't. So why look at this?

[Gavin]

Because they're not getting rid of.

[Ken]

I was gonna say. Does it upset you?

[Gavin]

It does. It actually does. I mean to a degree. Because there needs to be somebody storing all of them. But look at that. That's all 1986 200x is sitting right there. One of them should be sitting right there. The rest should be ridden. Dude, how. How what?

[CJ]

First off, off, what is this place? And how did this guy acquire all of these? And why are. They are brand new. Looks like they've never been written straight out the crate.

[Ken]

Well, I'm sure a lot of them are restored.

[Gavin]

Yeah. No, he's got to have over what I want an easy five mil. Easy five million in there. So.

[Ryan]

Ah.

[Mike]

Dude, $5 million in three wheels.

[Ken]

20 grand a pop, right?

[Gavin]

Not 20 grand a pop. Those ones are running five.

[Ryan]

I'd say more like five.

[Gavin]

500,000. But five grand a pop for those 200 X's.

[CJ]

No, I bet. I bet there's more than that.

[Gavin]

Yeah, they're more so nice. They're just so nice, dude. Yeah, no, I mean all. It just depends.

[Ken]

But.

[Gavin]

Yeah. I don't know how he got it, but it is actually ridiculous. I don't. I mean, what the heck do you do?

[Ken]

Why is there a couple four wheelers down on the end I really. That is upsetting.

[Gavin]

He must be an everything type guy. There's a couple of them out there.

[CJ]

This might be a bad question, but how?

[Ken]

Both ways.

[CJ]

How does this guy restore something from the 80s with all brand brand new.

[Gavin]

OEM plastics and everything you can't ever do? I mean, unless you're finding them off an old three wheeler, they're not going to be oem, so they're going to be mayor or whatever, the aftermarket plastics and then everything else is going to be.

[CJ]

Aftermarket's brand new though. Like it looks like it's oem.

[Gavin]

Yeah, I mean they do. The guy, Jesse, Jesse Mayer does a great job of doing the plastics, but they're not original and yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. The guy that made this video, this old trike, he has a great collection. I mean just, there's a couple guys out there with stupid collections.

[CJ]

Man, that is insane. Where is this place? It'd be cool to see.

[Gavin]

Beautiful. Oh, I want to say like Wisconsin or something. Weird.

[Ryan]

What? That's close.

[Gavin]

Yeah, not too far from you guys. Look at those 200s's sitting pretty. Looking good.

[CJ]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Yeah, those things are sharp.

[Gavin]

250Sx. That's the best all around three wheeler ever made. Really? Oh, that's the one you were riding, the electric start.

[Ken]

Oh, look at that one there.

[Gavin]

ATC.

[Ken]

Old 250R.

[Gavin]

We need one of those. Look at that.

[CJ]

Batgirl G, what do you think of my three wheeler?

[Ryan]

That.

[CJ]

That is technically like a modern day phony wheeler, but it's a. It's a phony, dude.

[Gavin]

At the end of the day, it's rad. It's too much. It's too much. There's no need for that much power really. Unless you are planning on sending a motocross track all day. I mean that's the only time you need that much power on a three wheeler. So 250 would definitely be more reasonable. But 450 for making content, jacking around on all day.

[Ken]

No, I agree. Sometimes the three wheeler, the funnest part about them is just kind of putzing around or you know, have fun farting off. You probably don't get hurt. You tip over, do some little wheelies. When you get on that 450 trike, it's like you're going fast.

[Gavin]

Like it's hell's bell this. Time to go baby.

[Ken]

It's heavy. Big unit gab.

[CJ]

You would have loved our three wheeler 110 that we made.

[Gavin]

Oh, don't even talk to me about that. How sick was It.

[CJ]

Oh, so sick.

[Gavin]

Gosh dang it. Anyone jump it?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ken]

There was snow on the ground.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Okay, so no rail.

[CJ]

We're gonna build another one. But yeah, we're also gonna do probably like a 250 or a 125. Like a YZ125 or something like that.

[Gavin]

Sweet. With the YZB. The YZ would be sweet.

[Ken]

I think the 125 would be the ultimate trike build.

[Gavin]

That would be. That would be awesome. 250 would be beautiful too though, for.

[Ken]

Being fun to ride, you know, not the fastest one, just like the funnest one.

[Gavin]

Oh, yeah.

[Ken]

Well, how did. Wait, what did it sound like?

[Gavin]

Are we talking 2 stroke or 4?

[CJ]

2.

[Gavin]

Or is it the ring?

[CJ]

So gab.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So CJ was mentioning earlier that you are quite a bit different from the rest of your family.

[Gavin]

Yes.

[CJ]

What do they think of. Of your three wheeler passion? Well, just your redneck tendencies.

[Gavin]

Of redneck tendencies? Oh, crap. I don't. They think it's awesome. I mean, they all love going out in the boat and messing around at the lake, but I just take it to another level with playing in the mud and doing all the.

[CJ]

Like, when they're in the boat, you're on your three wheeler next to them. Scuba. Like scuba diving?

[Gavin]

I've done that once or twice. Yeah, I've been, you know, been down deep. But no, they love it. Everybody loves it. It's just different. For sure. No one sees three wheelers around where I'm at too much and so different. Cool.

[CJ]

But three wheelers aside, like, do you and the rest of your family, like, do they ever, I don't know, like go out and.

[Gavin]

No, I mean, they're pulling my brother's polar opposite party boy up at gcu. I mean, he doesn't give a crap about getting muddy. He would never even his hands under a three wheeler. But redneck crap, I don't know. That's what it's about.

[CJ]

You know what's crazy is the. The Tyler Stewart, the kid that is super good at surfing that we had come up and film this summer, is roommates with Gavin's brother. Really good buddies. Roommates know that dude?

[Gavin]

Yeah, they're like best friends. He would. Tyler went out to my mom's house with Logan and everything. That's.

[Ken]

Small world there.

[Ryan]

That is. They must just be thinking. Yeah, they just invite literally everyone out.

[Gavin]

You were with the Seaboys? No way.

[Ben]

Me too.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

One week after we had Tyler out.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I'm just curious going back to when did you decide you were going to be a redneck or. When did you notice you were a redneck? Did your parents, were they like, yo.

[Gavin]

Were they like. It's. It was Monster Jam.

[Ryan]

I had to been unfamiliar with buying cowboy boots for you.

[Gavin]

Well, that was the stock show. We still had the stock show around. That's where I got the first pair of boots. But yeah, D. I mean I was sitting on YouTube watching Mud Digger. Look at that music video. And then I loved all the mud trucks. Love the mud Love Day TVs. And it just went from.

[CJ]

What did you just say?

[Gavin]

Mud Digger Cole Ford. Oh, yeah.

[Ken]

You said you love mud trucks. No, no, no. What else you said? I love ATVs.

[Gavin]

All Terrain Vehicle.

[Ken]

That's a Trike's.

[Gavin]

An ATC. No, it's still an eight. First ever ATV. If you look up a three wheeler. Formal definition. First ever ATV.

[Ken]

All right, well that slide.

[Gavin]

Okay.

[Ryan]

Thank you.

[Gavin]

But yeah, that's cool.

[CJ]

That's cool.

[Ryan]

I guess I'm just interested.

[Gavin]

Whatever.

[Ryan]

And I think it's awesome.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like to be clear, I. I think being a redneck is. Is better than not being a redneck.

[Gavin]

Well, there's nothing.

[Ben]

Maybe I should.

[Gavin]

It's the best. That's the best thing. I mean, I wouldn't consider myself to be clear. I mean I'm. I'm pretty freaking damn redneck. But I got friends with. I'm friends with everybody.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

Nobody I'm not friends with.

[Ryan]

I agree. I'm not. I'm not bragging on you for being a redneck. I just am curious. Yeah, I think it's awesome. I think it's one of your better, better qualities, obviously being a great guy.

[Mike]

But.

[CJ]

But is being redneck a quality?

[Gavin]

It's more like a lifestyle.

[Ryan]

It's a trait. I'd say it's a trait in us for him. It's like lifestyle. Lifestyle.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You know what is interesting is I would say that the, the term redneck has a pretty negative connotation.

[Ken]

I agree.

[Mike]

I don't think it.

[Ken]

Not anymore. Nowadays. It's cool.

[Gavin]

It's cool. Yeah.

[Mike]

Anyone that's listened and thought that, that, that we were anyway hinting at that is. We weren't.

[CJ]

Yeah, I didn't mean it.

[Ryan]

A negative connotation. Yeah, exactly.

[Mike]

I think we were hinting at that being redneck is cool. And I love when you said that Gavin was a bot not built redneck.

[Ryan]

He's self proclaimed. Like he tells everyone I'm a redneck and whatever. That I would never just be like, you're a redneck.

[Mike]

It's kind of like my buddy Evan. Like, Evan grew up on a golf course, but he. He chose the streets to be a degenerate.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I blame my friends.

[Gavin]

At all. I mean.

[Ken]

I mean, I think I fall into that category.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They got a little in you. I think we all got. I got a little redneck.

[CJ]

I would say more hoodlum, though.

[Ryan]

Hoodlum.

[Ken]

Little degenerate.

[Gavin]

He's got that dirt.

[Ryan]

He's got that Philly bike life.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

With a little bit of, like, some Cali in them.

[CJ]

And.

[Ken]

Yeah. A little hood rat peppered into that redneck.

[Gavin]

Quite a bit of hood rat.

[Mike]

I think there's a lot of proud rednecks out there that go, you guys aren't redneck. But you know what?

[Ryan]

Yeah, no, we're.

[Mike]

We're journeying down the path.

[Ryan]

That's why I have to tread lightly when I say, like, we. We can't really self proclaim that we're rednecks because we just. We'd get torn apart that. We definitely got a little bit of redneck in us, though, because we love playing in the mud and we like big trucks and whatever else seems to be filed under the redneck category. But you guys got to figure it out.

[Mike]

Sure.

[Gavin]

Yeah. We dabble.

[Unknown]

Beers.

[Ken]

Rednecks like beers. We like beers.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Been known to crush a few.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

What's up?

[CJ]

We gotta come out to your stomping grounds.

[Gavin]

Why do you want to come out there, Ben?

[Ken]

Make sure no one gets stuck in nothing.

[Gavin]

You're not meeting my sister. Yeah. You can come out. Yeah.

[Mike]

Have you brought your sister up?

[Ryan]

Like, three times during this podcast?

[Gavin]

Because I don't want him to bring it up before. Yeah, no, I have to bring it up before.

[Ben]

You hiding here.

[Gavin]

Nothing. Gav.

[Unknown]

You wrote me into a FaceTime call with her and failed to mention she had a boyfriend.

[Ken]

Yeah. That was amazing. You should tell that what that was.

[Ryan]

It's on the video. It should. I don't know if it'll make it, but hopefully it will.

[Ken]

It was fantastic.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Basically, Ken was talking all this game about how hot Gavin's sister was.

[Ken]

I think I said she was perfect.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I've never seen Ken say such. Honestly, such. He was very highly rating her, so I just go.

[Unknown]

He pulled up her Instagram, facetimer. She's a dime.

[Ryan]

Damn it. Wow. That's what I was saying. So I go, facetimer.

[Unknown]

And then you say, yeah, I'll bring up and face him. You call her like, yeah, 10 times. Doesn't answer.

[CJ]

Then she Finally.

[Unknown]

She finally answers. Say a bunch of stuff. And then she pans over to her boyfriend just shaking his head.

[Gavin]

She's just like, ah, no, he's been watching.

[Ken]

What did you say, Gavin?

[Ben]

Oh, yeah.

[Gavin]

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.

[Ken]

This is my friend.

[CJ]

Friend.

[Ken]

My friend Kenny thinks you're really cute.

[Ryan]

That was. It wasn't.

[Gavin]

This is her boyfriend.

[Ryan]

It's a compliment.

[Gavin]

That's how it went. Shoot your thoughts, Ken.

[Ryan]

Good job.

[Gavin]

No, he was. No. Good job, Ken.

[CJ]

Yeah, but actually, though, if you got.

[Ryan]

Any more sisters for.

[Gavin]

Come on.

[Ryan]

For Ken.

[Gavin]

Dude, we do need to get you guys out.

[Ryan]

Imagine you and Ken being in laws.

[Gavin]

No, I don't. That'd be pretty sick.

[Ryan]

He's like, at first. No way, right? YouTube out slinging mud, driving three wheelers.

[CJ]

He's like, hi.

[Gavin]

You don't want to write three words.

[Unknown]

With me not saying that.

[Gavin]

What are you saying? Nothing.

[Ryan]

He's gonna be too busy riding your sister.

[Gavin]

Stop. Guys, chill. Gosh. Damn it. No, you guys would love.

[Ryan]

We do got to come up there, I think. Yeah, we got to come. We're going to bring the Valkyrie up there and probably leave it there with you.

[Ken]

What's it called?

[Gavin]

The power pump.

[Ken]

Pulling up to the bar on the motorcycle. Get some gas.

[CJ]

Get a power stop.

[Ken]

A flipper shot.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, we do.

[Gavin]

Oh, power stop. Yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

We do have to get the. The Tommy Cotto out to you. The gift.

[Ken]

Can we address that? Is it even called that?

[Gavin]

It's not even that Tommy Cotto.

[Ben]

The.

[CJ]

One that you hit the ditch in.

[Gavin]

Could I hit the ditch? Okay, go for it. Can I hit the culvert? I didn't see the cbert.

[CJ]

Dude, that's still the best.

[Ryan]

That.

[CJ]

That is, I think, my favorite, favorite scene in Seaboard's history to this day.

[Gavin]

It snuck up on me out of nowhere. I really didn't. I was so excited because that thing had good power for what it was. I was like, I'm gonna eat this ditch.

[Ryan]

No problem.

[Gavin]

I'm halfway. Good power.

[Ken]

We're sucking on the fuel line. I do feel kind of responsible because if I had maintenance the grass a little better around that culvert, he might have seen it, but it was. It was kind of covered. Like when you dig a hole and, like, cover it with leaves and someone falls in, it was kind of like that.

[Gavin]

It was a trap slack in that.

[CJ]

And he just bodied the windshield.

[Gavin]

Dude, I hit that baby hard. She started right up. Made for it, I guess. Gosh dang it.

[CJ]

No. We got to get that thing out to you, though.

[Gavin]

Was she running? Is she okay? I saw. Is she okay? Dude. Bro. No.

[CJ]

Not even in the slightest.

[Gavin]

How bad?

[CJ]

So bad.

[Gavin]

My God. What are we talking about, Dude? It's not.

[CJ]

It's not you recognizable.

[Gavin]

Well, I think it's all cosmetic. You were backing it up, right? No, no. Who was backing it?

[CJ]

Pulled it out and it flipped.

[Gavin]

That's all that happened.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it got crushed.

[CJ]

Then we. We drug it around upside down.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Like, at first, there was a trailer with a bike on top. Then there was a bike with a TR on top.

[Gavin]

Why would you just ruin it? What? It was such a perfect machine.

[Ben]

D's got a damn tear in his eye.

[CJ]

I swear I saw a tear fall down.

[Unknown]

He was trying to avoid getting his nipples pierced.

[Gavin]

Oh, that's right.

[Unknown]

That was part of that.

[Ryan]

I was selfish. Gavin. Honestly.

[Gavin]

That's all right.

[Ryan]

Down to.

[Gavin]

It's okay. At least we got the val still y holding true. We're going to get you find another Indian trike someday.

[CJ]

Indian tr.

[Gavin]

That's what it is. That's a dot. Indian tr. A feather. Oh, that's my. I thought he meant, like, an Indian motorcycle, but he was talking about what the heaven un real, Dude.

[CJ]

Gavin. Hey, Kev. Are you good?

[Gavin]

Kev, are you good, bro?

[Ryan]

He's legit sweating.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Gavin]

Yeah. I don't know what that was. Got to keep together. Yeah.

[CJ]

Cut to Ken right now.

[Ken]

That's how Ken looked trying to round us up at the bar last night. Just over it.

[Gavin]

All right. Oh, my gosh.

[CJ]

What were we talking about?

[Ryan]

Are you having a heart attack right now?

[Gavin]

Here. It was so good, though.

[Ken]

I'm sweating.

[Gavin]

No, nothing will be.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Three wheelers.

[CJ]

Oh, dude. Man, I think we wrap on that.

[Gavin]

That was pretty good.

[CJ]

That was pretty good.

[Gavin]

Good.

[CJ]

Wow. All right. Gav, you're a one of a kind, bro. We love you so much. Thanks for coming on the podcast.

[Ryan]

Give me some.

[CJ]

You guys made it here. Subscribe and we'll see you next time.

[Gavin]

Thank you.

[CJ]

Give me some.

[Gavin]

Give me some, baby.
