Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Infamous Wine Night – Setup and Chaos

• Background of Wine Night

  • Their annual Wine Night tradition escalated each year: this time, it was hosted at Ryan’s house instead of the usual limos (04:14).
  • This year they upped the ante with glassware instead of plastic, huge amounts of spaghetti (10 gallons of sauce, 200 lbs pasta), and “fancy” touches like high heels and blouses (06:44).

• Escalation of Mayhem

  • The party quickly spirals: glass is everywhere, windows smashed, wine bottles and chairs thrown, and oceans of slippery spaghetti and sauce coating the floor (05:10–06:30).
  • Spenny in high heels—“I don’t even know why I was wearing the high heels … just funny” (06:47)—adds to the absurdity.

2. The Accident: Spenny’s Injury

• How It Happened (10:00–11:10)
  • Despite six cameras, they don’t have footage of the crucial moment.
  • Spenny: “I drive my front tire into the corner of the house...I start ripping a burnout...” He likely slipped in sauce, put his arm out to break his fall, and “my arm just went out the window...I look down and my arm is just completely sliced open. And I’m like, boys, hospital now.” (10:21, 10:45)
• Description of the Injury
  • “It’s definitely the worst injury I’ve ever had … it was like, a three-inch gap” (03:47).
  • Old, jagged, non-tempered glass made it way worse. “This is classic, Saw-movie grade glass” (11:13).
• Immediate Aftermath & Response
  • The group acts fast: impromptu tourniquet, rush to the ER in CJ’s brand new Raptor, all covered in wine and tomato (14:21).
  • “Red sauce ... a bunch of people run into an emergency room ... covered in red liquid. You have to be like, oh yeah. What just happened?” (20:10)

3. Hospital Chaos

• Local ER Fumbles & Delays (21:21–28:38)
  • Spenny sits for hours, arm “wide open, blood on the floor ... blood dripping off the table” (22:46), with little staff urgency or communication.
  • Tension with hospital staff over filming, visitor policy, and lack of information—Ryan gets physically removed by security due to suspicions they were filming (24:55).
  • Spenny: “I had one nurse ... can you, like, take these high heels off of me? They didn’t even know ... I'm covered in pizza sauce and parmesan ... it's starting to dry ... itchy and so rusty.” (26:41)
• Transferred to Minneapolis by Plane
  • After three hours, Spenny’s finally told, “we can’t do anything for you...we need to fly you to Minneapolis” (27:33).
  • Communication failure: crew only learns via Spenny’s last text, “Flying to Minneapolis,” and watching the ambulance drive to the airport (28:06).
  • Paramedics joke: “the pilot just texted and asked why our plane smells like spaghetti” (29:13).
  • Memorable moment: Spenny, unable to fully shower, spends the night reeking of “complete ass” (29:49).
• Surgery & Three-Year Recovery Timeline (41:41–43:24)
  • The injury: eight tendons fully sliced, one nerve (no feeling in thumb, pointer, middle finger), and a nicked artery.
  • “They're saying it might be three years till I might start having feeling in my fingers again.” (43:00)

4. Reflections & Mentality

• Positivity & Perspective
  • Spenny remains upbeat: “I’m not gonna let an injury stop me. And if you’re listening and dealing with the same, I hope you push through and get back to doing what you love” (49:36).
  • Gavin: “Just being in the hospital puts everything into perspective. I take this for granted. Getting to go home...doesn’t get much worse than that feeling.” (45:47)
• Assessment of Hospital Experience
  • Mix of appreciation for hard-working nurses and strong criticisms of administration/management; staff even encourage the crew to “say something about this experience” (47:17).
  • “Any time you can avoid going to the Detroit Lakes Hospital ... we have had nothing but bad experiences there.” (47:07)
• Lessons Learned
  • “If we take anything away from it, it's don’t fuck with glass ... No more high heels ... nobody should be wearing high heels doing the things we’re doing. Literally nobody.” (48:43, 50:34)

5. Back to Business As Usual

• Cboys Shrug Off Carnage
  • Spenny, post-surgery, is “right back into it ... literally right back into the action” (43:25).
  • Joking about laundry, high heels, spaghetti, helmets, and the pervasive smell of parmesan (49:10–51:12).
• Endless Accidents & Property Destruction
  • Extensive tale about buses and vehicles nearly taking out the neighbor’s property due to miscommunication (53:26–64:58).
  • A bus accidentally ghost-rides into a neighbor’s skid steer: “long story short, the bus ghost rides into our neighbor’s fence, through the fence, and then hits our neighbor’s skid steer...” (61:28).
  • The “neighbor just so happens to be a total G”—responds bemusedly and brushes it off (66:02).
• Ryan's Bad Week
  • Double Hummer crashes (deer hits)—“I think I have to be one of the only people to have crashed two Hummers within 24 hours" (71:48).
  • Massive house teardown, home renovation troubles, and the ongoing saga of paying for it: “It’s been financially destructive, so I hope we have cheap plans for the rest.” (82:44)

6. Classic Cboys Banter: Stories, Teasing & Recurring Bits

• The “wine night” circus brings neighborly confusion: “You hear screaming motors, fire alarms, smoke billowing ... then you see five people come screaming out covered in red spaghetti.” (86:36)
• Tales of ding dong ditch pranks escalating to the absurd—including a neighbor keeping a log of 200+ incidents (107:56–111:47).
• Running humor around Ken’s infamous adventures in Europe, alleged incidents with friends’ girlfriends, and the group gossip that follows. (“Ken started making out with my girlfriend. Boom, there it is.” 97:24)
• Ongoing “you have to laugh or you’ll cry” moments—about finances, property, and bodies.

[Dalton]

What is this moron doing?

[Gavin]

We're bombing through town. CJ's passing, cops parked at Taco Bell.

[Spenny]

My arm is just completely sliced open. Oh, and I'm like, boys hospital now. I've rode dirt bikes my whole life, and I could maybe never ride again.

[Ben]

Benny, what time do you want to leave at?

[Spenny]

I actually got my can to change mine.

[Ben]

What do you mean?

[Spenny]

I'm just gonna hang for a couple more days.

[Gavin]

Are you really? Yeah, why wouldn't you?

[Spenny]

Why are you so fired up about.

[Gavin]

Getting out of here? Dude, you are trying. You've been trying to leave since you got here.

[Ben]

I am good to stay.

[Gavin]

You've been trying to leave since you got here.

[Ben]

The furthest thing from the truth. I've been having so much fun.

[Gavin]

Shred AIDS has got to get home to buff things out. No, no, no.

[Ben]

Just say a word or two, we'll calm it down easily.

[Gavin]

The guy starts fires and then hits the road everywhere he goes. Yep. I mean, we know that shred8.

[Spenny]

He's been fighting fires since day one.

[Gavin]

Yeah, this guy's a firefighter.

[Ben]

I know how to put one out.

[Mike]

Let's just start out with Man, I Love you guys.

[Spenny]

Love you too, Mike. Dude, Love the people watching and listening.

[Mike]

Illegal to have this. As much fun as we've been having.

[Ryan]

Lately, I think sometimes it's not.

[Gavin]

You're right. I think some of us have been having more fun than others. Like all of us versus Spenny.

[Ben]

But sorry to hear that, Spenny.

[Spenny]

It's all good.

[Ben]

I think he's still having fun.

[Spenny]

I'm actually having a great time. Actually, I'm feeling great.

[Mike]

Where do we even start?

[Spenny]

Dude, where do we start?

[Ryan]

Is this Post Wine Night podcast?

[Gavin]

Post Wine Night? Yeah. This is the debrief, but it hasn't been put into the final cut of what we can show yet. So I don't know what the end of the YouTube video looks like as far as, like, what happened because let's just say YouTube has gotten pretty strict on us lately. We've had a couple run ins and they are our boss. And apparently you can't show somebody getting cut the way spending got cut on YouTube. They don't like that. So we had to like cut around it to make it YouTube friendly. I mean, either depending on how strict YouTube was. Like, either way, like, there's something that the world should not see and spend his injury.

[Spenny]

Dude, I don't even like looking at it. I like zooming in a photo of it. Like, oh, it just sends the hair on my spine standing up. Like, dude, it's scary to look at.

[Ben]

I can't stomach it. Dude, it's gnarly looking. It's definitely like when it's actually open, it's like a three inch gap almost.

[Gavin]

It seems like.

[Mike]

Well, if you guys remember, like when I ripped my knee open, it's like twice as bad as that.

[Dalton]

I mean, like 100 times.

[Mike]

I was gonna say, as far as an injury goes, it's way worse than that. But like, as far as, like, you know.

[Spenny]

Yeah, definitely. Definitely the worst injury I've ever had for sure.

[Ryan]

Should we run the people through, like play by play, how it happens?

[Spenny]

Yeah, let's run it through.

[Gavin]

Yeah. So on the last podcast, we had briefly mentioned at the end of it that we were about to go and film while Wine Night, which up until this point we are calling the best night of the year. Yeah, it's been like this ongoing thing. I guess if you're not familiar with it, like this would have been our third annual Wine Night. The first year. It started out just kind of as a joke, like in our limo that we had made where then it got toasted. And then the second year Was in a bigger limo that we had. Ryan was driving that one as well. It was a little bit gnarlier. And then this. This year, we're like, oh, we should do it in Ryan's house.

[Ryan]

Yeah, well, you know, I figured I'd banged you guys around in a limo long enough. I'll just have you over to my place and we'll host.

[Gavin]

So that was a plan. Well, I guess that is what we did. And it just escalated just quickly, way too fast. Where, yeah, things started getting thrown. Glass was everywhere. Wine bottles got thrown through windows.

[Spenny]

Chairs got thrown through windows.

[Gavin]

Everything.

[Ben]

Everything in sight was getting thrown.

[Mike]

And it's with the spaghetti on the ground obviously being in the sauce.

[Spenny]

Slippery than ice.

[Gavin]

Slippery than ice.

[Mike]

And also, I know Ben mentioned it, but I'm going to reiterate. There was glass everywhere.

[Spenny]

Everywhere. It was everywhere.

[Gavin]

And like, the. The previous wine nights, we actually didn't use glass.

[Spenny]

Always plastic cups. We always made sure they were plastic.

[Gavin]

Why did we go to Glass this year? Why?

[Spenny]

Yeah, why did we go to Glass this year?

[Gavin]

What were we doing? I did say to Evan when we were loading up at the Boys and Girls Club getting cups, I was like, probably go plastic. And he goes, no, we gotta go glass.

[Dalton]

Because we were breaking windows and we had glass plates. It didn't seem like the glass cups were gonna make, like, a difference.

[Gavin]

Yeah, I mean, there was a lot.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I'm the one that's like, no, we gotta get the glass. So it looked good. It was supposed to be real fancy and classic.

[Gavin]

And that made. I thought about that too. I was like, yeah, there's gonna be so much other broken. Which there was. So, I mean, that was just, like, one of many things that was broken, you know?

[Spenny]

Makes sense.

[Gavin]

Yeah. And then on top of that, there was 10 gallons of spaghetti sauce. 200 pounds spaghetti, dude.

[Dalton]

Well, it was 200 pounds uncooked. Correct.

[Gavin]

Yeah. And then.

[Dalton]

Which.

[Gavin]

So 400? Pretty much.

[Dalton]

Pretty much.

[Ryan]

About like, three big yetis full of spaghetti.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Bar right there.

[Ryan]

Hey, yeti's full of spaghetti.

[Gavin]

And then. Yeah, like Mike said, like, it all ended up on the ground. It was extremely slippery. Spenny is in his transition era, so he was wearing heels.

[Dalton]

He did have a nice blouse and high heels on occasion.

[Spenny]

I don't even know why I was wearing the high heels. I just thought it would be.

[Gavin]

You wanted to.

[Spenny]

That's why I did want to.

[Gavin]

But I thought about it.

[Spenny]

I was about the high heels, but not for any particular reason. Just funny.

[Gavin]

No.

[Spenny]

Not to look cute.

[Ben]

Are you sure?

[Gavin]

Why?

[Spenny]

Gab was cute. Was it working?

[Ben]

You got Mr. Sexy coming in.

[Spenny]

You were working.

[Ben]

Gabby, was it working?

[Gavin]

No. No.

[Spenny]

Those heels working?

[Ben]

Chill. Chill out over there, Spenny. Chill out. Keep going, though.

[Gavin]

So the craziest part is, like, we had, like, six cameras rolling, and we.

[Ryan]

Chaos.

[Gavin]

We still don't know what happened to Spenny, of how we know how he cut his arm the way that he did, but to our understanding.

[Spenny]

So basically, yeah, we were. Shit was going everywhere, and we had planned to bring the bikes and stuff inside. So I went out, got my bike, rode it in.

[Gavin]

I did, like.

[Spenny]

Did, like, a couple burnouts in the. In the living room, I think. Evan. Evan hit a burnout right there.

[Ben]

Well, the second I hear the 450 get fired up, I run outside and get the Thriller.

[Spenny]

Gavin's in there at this three. So we're just doing, like, some donuts and stuff. Just, like, on my living room.

[Mike]

Heavy limiter.

[Spenny]

Heavy limiter. Yeah. True Heavy limiter.

[Ben]

Just on it. Dude, I wasn't letting off. I was in that thing the whole time. I think mine was pissing you guys off more than anything.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Yeah. It was, like, insanely loud. Yeah.

[Spenny]

And then I was like, man, I should do a burnout. Like, I'm in Ryan's kitchen right now. I should probably do a burnout as you do.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Spenny]

So all the windows are smashed out to the lake. I drive my front tire into the corner of the house, and there's drywall on the left, and then the window right in front of me. And so I just start ripping a burnout and just not thinking anything of it. Everybody's laughing. We're having a great time.

[Ryan]

Smoking out the house.

[Spenny]

Smoking out the house.

[Gavin]

No one was laughing besides for maybe gaffing. Was nobody laughing on the other end of the house?

[Dalton]

No.

[Gavin]

Everyone was running every direction.

[Spenny]

Were people scared?

[Gavin]

Everyone was scared. Was it.

[Spenny]

Maybe it was me and you were loving it.

[Ben]

It was just us. Yeah, we were having fun.

[Mike]

We weren't upset.

[Spenny]

I was just scared. I was like, kill him.

[Gavin]

Kill the bikes.

[Ryan]

This video I took is actually, like, seconds before it happened. Basically, we're all hiding behind. I believe a term for it would be my credenza.

[Gavin]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I don't know. Some part of my house behind the credential.

[Spenny]

Oh, my God, dude.

[Gavin]

Oh, my God.

[Ben]

He just caked in Parmesan.

[Ryan]

And so this is what's happening seconds prior to it.

[Ben]

You love how I'm barefoot. I am barefoot.

[Spenny]

What are you doing, Gab?

[Gavin]

How are you barefoot?

[Mike]

I know so bad.

[Ryan]

And Ryan had see Dalton walks over to the corner to get the shot. Everything's flipping.

[Gavin]

Wait, the table. Who's running the table? He was running the table.

[Spenny]

It looked like Ben was running.

[Ken]

Is that me?

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And so then basically.

[Gavin]

Was that me? Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that was you. Look at that white suit.

[Spenny]

Ben pushed the table into us.

[Gavin]

Wait, let me go play back. Was that me? That was for sure you. No, that's Evan.

[Dalton]

Sounds like something I would do, but you guys are the ones.

[Gavin]

Look at that jacket.

[Mike]

That's you, bro.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, that's Evan.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Spenny]

It's funny that that's how smoke.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, that. That was. That was fractions of the second before what happened.

[Spenny]

So I'm hitting the burnout, and I'm like, this is lit. And then it was kind of getting smokey, so I was like, all right. Like, this is just like, we gotta shut it down. So I shut it down. And so what I think happened is because I. I didn't feel the cut and I didn't crash, so I don't really know when it happened. Like, Gavin could have flung a piece of glass off on his wheel, and it could have hit my arm and cut it.

[Gavin]

I could have. That's literally happened.

[Spenny]

Yeah. There's no way. So what I think is happening, I stepped off the bike, and my bike stayed standing up, and the windowsill was to my left, and I was walking, and I slipped and put my arm out to catch myself, but it went out the window and then went. And then I fell down and touched the windowsill. But then I was. I was chilling. Totally chilling.

[Ben]

I don't know if you were chilling.

[Spenny]

I was like, I gotta get out of the house. It's too smoky. So I start walking to the front door, and I look down and my arm is just completely sliced open. And I'm like, boys, hospital now. And I walk straight over to. I'm like, dude, you got to take your belt off and wrap it around this as tight as you can. And he's like. I'm like, dude, no. Like, you need to take your belt off right now. Like, we don't have any time to spare.

[Dalton]

Normally, he doesn't hesitate when you tell him to do that.

[Ryan]

These are like 19, I'd say probably 80s. Dual pane windows. Like, two separate frames that are apart with just a space in between. Like old style windows. No glass protection, you know, no tempering where they shatter into little things that don't hurt. Like, this is classic. Like, saw, saw movie grade glass.

[Spenny]

Big, like jagged pieces Just ready to cut. Just ready to cut.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Ben]

Sliced you.

[Spenny]

And so I don't know, we just took it too far and.

[Gavin]

But I think it was the high heels that really did.

[Spenny]

Yeah. The wine and the high heat and the spaghetti sauce on the floor. Like, I was slight.

[Gavin]

I mean, who would have thought that those high heels would be.

[Ben]

Evan, you gotta look at this one.

[Gavin]

You gotta take a look at this one.

[Ryan]

You know, when you look back at it, you really wonder what the were we doing?

[Gavin]

Oh, God, that is so bad.

[Ryan]

So I guess a picture, that outfit is going into the hospital with a four inch cut.

[Spenny]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Three inches up on your wrist.

[Gavin]

So let me. Let me backtrack. So this is, like, about where the. The cameras, like, stop, right? So, like, bad things have happened, right. In our videos. Like, when we're filming, usually the main thing, just keep filming. Even if you can't show it, just keep filming.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Gavin]

It was so bad. After seeing, like, I. I took one look at spending's arm.

[Spenny]

Ben walked over and tied a T shirt around it and tightened it. And then I was.

[Gavin]

Dalton puts the. The tourniquet on it. And then I go over, tie a towel around the actual wound.

[Spenny]

Yeah. Which was like, I. That's when I, like, actually screamed. I was like, holy boys. Like, we gotta go. This is. It started hurting.

[Gavin]

It was bad. Right. And I obviously had a good look at it and, like, where the cut was, like, that's like the epitome of where people die. Yeah, yeah.

[Spenny]

The artery right there.

[Gavin]

So I see that. And just immediately go into, like, fight or flight. Like, get this dude to the hospital immediately. Right. Like. Like cameras. And I even yelled at C.J. like, put the camera down and drive. Like, Because I was like, because, hold.

[Dalton]

On, I gotta go back and get my phone.

[Gavin]

CJ had to drive his truck, right. And so we had to. CJ had to run and grab his. His keys for his truck because his truck's sitting out on the road. And I was like, dude, just put the camera down.

[Ryan]

And like, for you to say that means a lot.

[Gavin]

A lot.

[Ryan]

Like Ken or even maybe me or Mike yelling that. It'd be like, okay, well, you know, we still have a couple more degrees of, like, you know, we can keep pushing the film for you guys to be like, this is.

[Gavin]

This is. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I was. I was full, full panic. But, like, between Dalton acting fast of, like, taking his belt off, wrapping that up too, and like, and then everyone coming together, and then CJ hopping in his truck. We're covered in wine and Spaghetti, head to toe. We pile in CJ's Raptor R. Brand new Raptor.

[Spenny]

I was stressing, too, before I got in. I'm like, cj, like, are you sure? Like, I'm going to destroy the seat. Like, I'm bleeding everywhere. I was stressing.

[Ken]

So then basically, we're ripping to the hospital. I broke about every law in the book, literally.

[Gavin]

Allegedly.

[Mike]

Then he did mention how impressed he was.

[Ken]

I drove around cars. I blew. I was going fast.

[Spenny]

He was doing it everything.

[Ken]

Good thing that Raptor R has 705 horsepower.

[Ben]

It was.

[Gavin]

It was like, to the point where, like. So we're on our way there. I call 911 and I'm like, open wound, open. Wind just got cut. It was an accident. But we're on our way to the er. Can you let them know we're coming? Because I didn't know the severity of, like. Like, how bad it was bleeding. Right?

[Spenny]

Yeah, we didn't know.

[Gavin]

We wrapped it up as quick as possible, but, like, we didn't know if it was, like, a cut artery or what, what the deal was, right? And he was like, yeah, I'll let him know that you're coming. Right? So we're bombing through town. CJ's passing cops parked at Taco Bell, like, outside. But I was just. Dude, I was kind of. If they. If they start chasing us, bro, bro, you gotta keep going. And then I'll call 911 again and say, all right, this is the thing. Turn your guys around.

[Ken]

I wasn't worried about it because we were so close to the hospital and they. And they weren't in their vehicle. So I was like, by the time they get in their vehicle, start it, catch up to me, we'll be literally at the emergency room. So I was like, whatever, we're close enough. So I just did it. And they didn't even ever come. Maybe they saw me just whip into the hospital. But, yeah, I'm like, driving like a maniac. And then Spenny's like, dude, cj, I'm sorry about your interior. And I'm like, bro, it's so. It's okay. But I get us to the emergency room, and I. I took a video of what the back seat looked like.

[Spenny]

Dude, I felt so bad.

[Ryan]

I haven't seen this yet.

[Spenny]

I felt so bad.

[Ken]

You don't need to feel bad about it at all.

[Gavin]

It's hard to describe to what the smell of spaghetti and wine is and the Parmesan cheese.

[Spenny]

Parmesan cheese is the worst part.

[Ken]

And we know what Happens if you don't get every little bit of it out because.

[Spenny]

And it's oily. It's an oily base.

[Ken]

So it just smells so bad.

[Mike]

Yeah, it gets worse and worse and worse.

[Spenny]

Oh, no.

[Ken]

It's like those.

[Gavin]

Oh, no.

[Spenny]

Oh, no.

[Gavin]

Oh.

[Spenny]

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry. I am so sorry.

[Ken]

It'd be one thing if it was, like, leather seats, because it'd be easy to get out, but it's got that, like, cloth slash suede center and then the.

[Gavin]

All that stuff.

[Ken]

And then Ben had it in the front seat, too. So, like, I get you guys there, and everyone. We're just sitting around. I knew that, like, we're gonna be sitting around for a while, so I was like, okay, we're not. I'm not doing anything at this point. So I went back and immediately cleaned it. Spent, like, two and a half hours cleaning that. Alex came over next day. Still smells like spaghetti. Just getting it professionally clean. And it's. Thanks. Red River Motorworks. It doesn't smell at all, so it's literally for nothing.

[Gavin]

Like, there's.

[Ken]

There's no damage at all, so you really don't have to feel bad.

[Gavin]

And even if there was, wouldn't be.

[Ken]

I mean, we had to get you there.

[Gavin]

Yeah, true.

[Ken]

So that was. It was totally worth it.

[Gavin]

It was. It was between hopping in the sprinter van or CJ's raptor, and I was like, well, we got to get there quick. Which one's the better option? In hindsight, the sprinter van. I mean, it just depends who was driving the Sprinter van. Like, you can drive a slow car fast or you can drive a fast car even faster. They'll both do the same.

[Dalton]

And the Sprinter also had a trailer on it, which would have been less than.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Gavin]

Oh, true. Yeah, that's. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. But, yeah, gnarly. So we get there, we rush. Rush spenny in, and you look like psychopaths. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Red sauce. So, like, think about that. A bunch of people run into an emergency room, one of them is severely injured, and then the rest of them are covered in red liquid.

[Spenny]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You have to be like, oh, yeah. What just happened?

[Spenny]

Dude, it was. We looked like psychopaths. I walk in there at the blouse and high heels on big gash.

[Gavin]

No.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Gavin]

I couldn't.

[Spenny]

Because we got there so quick. Dude, the boys worked so quick. I was probably at the hospital within, like, five minutes of cutting my wrist.

[Ben]

That's what I was gonna say.

[Gavin]

We were there 18, dude.

[Ben]

Like, I was Actually super impressed. Yeah. We call ourselves professionals for the line of work we're in, but, like, it actually made.

[Ryan]

That was real.

[Dalton]

Yeah, we went to Zorbas. You didn't even help them.

[Ben]

I was out of there pretty quick, but I was still super impressed by, like, how it went down. House is smokey. We got the tourniquet on him in 20 seconds, and then he's in the car in 45 seconds. Like, it was seriously quick.

[Gavin]

Yeah. So we get in there. They actually rush Spenny in because, like, every other time we've gone to the E.R. in our hometown, it takes, like, three hours just to get into a room. Into a room, Right. So they get spending in super quick, and we're like, all right, he's in good hands now. Should be good to go.

[Spenny]

Right?

[Gavin]

Well, they proceed to. To bring you in.

[Spenny]

Yeah. So I get put in, and I'm. They sit me down on the. On the bed or whatever, and there's, like, a table. I put my wrist on the table, and my hand is just stuck. Like, I can't lift it, like, at all. It's literally just sitting there. And I'm starting to freak out a little bit because I'm like, holy fuck. Like, I actually.

[Gavin]

Mobility.

[Spenny]

No, mobility. Couldn't move any of my fingers. Like, I couldn't even lift my arm off the table because it was just dead. It was, like, losing so much blood. It just seemed like it took way longer than it should have. They came in through the tourniquet on, and I'm sitting there, like, just in a crazy outfit. I'm sitting there for 20, 30 minutes. Next thing you know, I'm still sitting there, and the boys come in. They get kicked out for filming.

[Gavin]

Well, we weren't filming, so.

[Spenny]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

So after, like. And probably an hour, right. They finally.

[Ryan]

Literally over an hour.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

They got food for all of us. Went and got cleaned up. Like, I'm still waiting. I'm like, spenny's in there getting taken care of.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You know, he's. We're gonna have news here shortly. And then they let us back in.

[Gavin]

So they come out and they're like, all right, two of you guys can go in. Right? So we go in, and immediately walking in, they're like, you can't film. Which we know. And so. But I had the camera with, right?

[Spenny]

Yep.

[Gavin]

So we go in, I set the camera down, and then we're sitting there. You're.

[Spenny]

I'm still just bleeding everywhere.

[Ryan]

Wide open.

[Spenny]

It's wide open.

[Ryan]

His hands just sitting on the Table.

[Spenny]

No, not covered.

[Gavin]

No, it was, dude. It was.

[Spenny]

It was just. I sat there for, like, an hour and a half, wide open, blood on the floor, Blood dripping off the table onto the floor.

[Ben]

That proper protocol.

[Spenny]

There's no way.

[Gavin]

So we go in there, right? And we, like, see this, and they're kind of, like, coming in and out. And then after, like, 10 minutes of us being in there, doctor comes in, I think, sees the situation at hand. And then I don't know if they thought that we were filming and they saw how bad the situation looked, and they didn't want that to be filmed because it looked so unprofessional on their part, where then they just immediately freaked out at us. They were, like, freaked out.

[Spenny]

They're like, everybody out. I'm like.

[Gavin]

I'm like, no, no. Like, screamed. And then they're like, you can't be filming. And, like, I had the camera sitting in there, right? And we're like, we're not. We're not filming, right? If we were standing there, like, holding, like, talking to. Spending. They came in, like, obviously would have been one thing. So, like, they kick me and Ryan out. We. We walk out, spending, still sitting there, right? And then we're basically, like, sitting outside the hospital then for, like, the next hour to an hour and a half, and then this happens to Ryan.

[Ryan]

So then I'm starting to get. Obviously, leave it to your guys. Resident, you know, pusher. Yeah, Karen.

[Gavin]

I'm like.

[Ryan]

I'm like, all right. I talked to my mom. My mom works. I'm like, mom, what's the deal? Like, Spenny's been in here for two, two and a half hours. When we were in there an hour ago, like, nothing was really happening. His arm was blue because they had it tourniqueted, like, for so long. I'm. I'm, like, getting really nervous for spending. Like, I'm. I mean, you know, you don't. You kind of can expect the worst, hope for the best in moments like that. So I'm tweaking. I'm like, well, we need to get in there and see Spenny. Spenny's phone is dead. He's some of the only people in America that he knows. His mom's in Australia, his dad's up in Canada. So I'm like, all right, we got to go in and be with our boy. Because Spenny was like, thank God you guys are here. Yeah, I've been alone. So I go in there. The front desk goes, yep, go on back in. I'm like, all right, I'm gonna go see Spenny. I literally am about to turn the corner in his room. The one nurse sees me, stands up and immediately starts screaming bloody murder.

[Gavin]

Get out, get out, get out, get him out.

[Ryan]

Screaming at me. And I just freeze. It's been a stressful day. I'm like all on edge and I freeze. The security guard comes sprinting around the corner, probably expecting a chaotic scene. And it's me standing there wide eyed. And he comes up, right up to me and he goes, I don't know what's going on, but you need to leave. And I go, I need to get in there and see my friend. He's been requesting me. We've been in there.

[Gavin]

And she goes, get him out, get him out, get him out.

[Ryan]

Just screaming. And the, the security guard goes, I don't know, you seem calm to me, but you got to get out of here. And so I'm like, okay. So I walk out in the waiting room, I'm talking with the ladies at the front desk and they're like, we can't do anything up here. And I'm like, all I care is this many's getting good care. Like, I don't want to anything up for him, but I'm trying to like, get in there to make sure he's okay, get him a phone charger, see if he needs to call his insurance company, see, you know, whatever, be with my friend, which is legally required.

[Gavin]

And.

[Ryan]

And I had the hospital supervisor come down and she's like, yeah, you guys were filming, you can't. And I go, we weren't filming. And she goes, they think you were, so you can't go back there. I go, well, what if I am not going to be filming when I go in there? Like, you can take my phone. She goes, nope, sorry, you can't be in there. I was like, I'm literally like one of the only people in America right now that can be with him. She's like, nope, sorry, hipaa. Which is like, you can't talk about people's health and stuff outside of the hospital. I go, I literally brought him in here. I'm pretty sure he. I'm okay to know what's going on with it.

[Spenny]

I could hear all this going on outside too. I'm just like, I'm like asking. I had one nurse and I'm like, like, they gotta come in here.

[Gavin]

Like, yeah.

[Spenny]

And I'm just hearing yelling going on. I'm like, I knew exactly what was happening. I knew Ryan was.

[Ryan]

The boys are Fighting.

[Spenny]

Yeah. I knew they were trying to get.

[Ryan]

In, but because it been three hours, we weren't in that.

[Spenny]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What are you saying?

[Ben]

Are you freaking out about it?

[Spenny]

So I was freaking out, and then, I mean, at some point, I was just sitting there, and the one nurse came in and her kids were subs, and she. So she knew exactly who I was. I was like, can you, like, take these high heels off of me? They didn't even like, no, I'm sitting there in this stupid outfit, still, like, stressing, covered in pizza sauce and pasta sauce and parmesan cheese and spaghetti, and I'm like, can you just cut all this, all these clothes off me? Like, I just can't sit here any longer in this because it's starting to dry and get, like, itchy and so rusty. So then she, like, yeah, she cuts my shirt off, takes my high heels off, and. And then I'm, like, standing at the sink, and she's washing my hair in the sink, and I'm dripping blood all over the room because my arms still Cut.

[Gavin]

Cut.

[Ben]

The more I hear about this, the more this is not okay.

[Spenny]

It was bad. It was super bad. So then, anyways, I get cleaned up and doctor comes in and he's like, yeah, we actually can't do anything for you. Like, And I'm just like, I just. After three hours, I've just sat here for three hours. And you had, like, couldn't figure that out? So then they're like, yeah, we can't do anything. We need to fly you to. To Minneapolis. So now I'm really stressing because I hadn't even talked to any of the boys. Heightened, like, I'm like, oh, shit. Like, if they're flying me, like, this is actually pretty bad, that means that they can't deal with it here. So the. The pilots come in and they, like, grab me and they put me in an ambulance. I ride over to the airport.

[Ryan]

Keep in mind, they didn't tell us this. So the only reason we knew is Spenny got one text out before his phone died. Said, flying to Minneapolis. That's all it said. We watched the ambulance drive away, and we drove to the airport and saw him get in a plane. And we go, holy. He's flying to Minneapolis.

[Gavin]

That's how we figured out that he.

[Ryan]

Was going to Minneapolis. No one told us anything. They were like, oh, hippo, we can't. I go, what brought him in here?

[Ben]

So for all you guys know, he's about to lose his hand or something?

[Ryan]

Yeah, we have no idea.

[Gavin]

I mean, we don't know, like, the severity.

[Spenny]

You don't know what's going on, which was scary for me. And I'm just stressing big time, which.

[Ryan]

You're the most LAX guy ever.

[Spenny]

I know. So we get in the plane. They can't fly the helicopter, so we take the plane. Get in the plane. And I just remember, like laying in the bed and I'm like kind of like in and out. Like, I'm not in and out, but just so much shit was happening. I was just like trying to fall asleep, but like staying awake and falling asleep and staying awake.

[Ben]

Just stay alive.

[Spenny]

Just staying alive. Like, I felt like I was trying to stay alive. And all I remember is the one guy was beside me and he goes, the pilot just texted and asked why our plane smells like spaghetti. And I'm just like, yeah, it's a long story, dude.

[Gavin]

Did you explain it to him?

[Spenny]

Yeah, I did. I explained it to him.

[Mike]

You FaceTime me right before you're about to take off. These guys are like strapping, you know. Keep in mind, you're laying down, I'm.

[Spenny]

Laying on the bed strapping you in. I think so.

[Mike]

And you're just like, yo, these guys are so nice. And you flip the camera around. Yeah, these two guys, they're so nice. But I also have to say, like, we iterate all the time how bad the parmigian smells and all that. I had to shower two times to get it all off.

[Gavin]

Good showers.

[Mike]

And Spenny just got a wipe down and he had to spend the entire night smelling like complete ass.

[Spenny]

Oh, dude.

[Gavin]

That had to drive me insane, dude.

[Spenny]

I just couldn't maddening get the smell out of my nose.

[Gavin]

It was so. Probably because it was actually stuck.

[Spenny]

It was in my nose.

[Dalton]

I did feel kind of bad that at one point when you were laying on the ground rolling around, I dumped a full.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Jar of parmesan. Oh, just right.

[Spenny]

I know. It was in my eyes.

[Gavin]

On shower. It was so bad.

[Dalton]

It seemed kind of mean.

[Spenny]

I was choking on it.

[Dalton]

After everything that happened, I'm like. Like, that's the part. I'm like, man, I really wish I didn't do spins when spending's just like.

[Gavin]

It wasn't too bad except for the parmesan and Evan's just like, I remember watching you do that, Evan. And I'm just going in the air or something now. That's just bullying.

[Dalton]

It was pretty mean. Yeah, dude.

[Spenny]

I remember the parmesan cheese when you did that, it was like down in my throat. And I was, like, coughing it out because it went down so far. But, yeah, it was so bad. And then pretty much all I remember is just waking up the next morning and calling. Ben and the boys were on the way to the hospital. I just. We landed. Flew into the room, and we're going in the room, the O. R. Room, and it's just super bright white lights, and they push me in, and there's 30 people standing around because they're about to do, like, surgery on my arm.

[Ryan]

So they were already.

[Spenny]

They're ready to go? Yeah, they're ready to go. That's 30 people standing around. And the one nurse just goes, I got to ask, why the high heels? And I'm like, honestly, I swear, I'm not a psychopath. So you were still in them? No, they were in a bag. They were in a plastic bag.

[Gavin]

What, they pull it up.

[Spenny]

They had a plastic bag full. My belongings, and it was the high heels. My wallet.

[Ben]

Your blouse.

[Spenny]

My blouse. And my white pants that were cut off because they don't throw it out.

[Gavin]

Wow, that's crazy, dude.

[Spenny]

And I'm like, honestly. Oh, you can.

[Gavin]

Just saying that kind of surprises me in this day and age that, especially in Minneapolis, that a nurse would ask that question to a patient.

[Spenny]

I know. That's why.

[Gavin]

What's up with the high heel? You know, I don't know. It's just like.

[Spenny]

I think they just saw me.

[Gavin]

This day and age is not that. I feel like.

[Dalton]

Did you guys see that clip that buttery had with it? I don't spend it.

[Spenny]

Yeah, the dude was just like, a baby.

[Gavin]

Yes.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I feel like that.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Why? You can't ask. Why the diaper?

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Spenny]

So I just felt. I felt, like, more bad because I was just, like, wearing stupid. And they're probably like, what the hell is this guy doing? Like, obviously on. Yeah, what is he on? Like, is he on crack or something? And then I woke up the next morning, and all the boys were driving down, and I was just. Still hadn't had any surgery, and.

[Gavin]

Yeah, so they got you in there and they just cleaned it, right?

[Spenny]

They got me in there.

[Gavin]

They evaluated how bad it was. They realized that it wasn't a cut main artery.

[Spenny]

Finally took the tourniquet off. After four hours of having that thing on there, my arm was just like.

[Ben]

And it was sliced open. This four hours. It. I mean, there was nothing covering it.

[Spenny]

No, no, no. They covered it. They covered it.

[Ben]

No, I'm saying. Oh, when you flew.

[Gavin]

They did. Okay.

[Spenny]

They put a bandage around it. And stuff.

[Gavin]

Yeah. So we hop in the car, we drive like four hours down the next morning and then walk into the room expecting spending to be like, done with surgery at this point. Yeah.

[Ryan]

We thought we were kind of on like.

[Gavin]

A life flight is like, dire. As soon as possible, right? Yeah, it's gotta four hours away. Life or death. Right. So they wait. He waits like three or four hours at the actual er and then they life flight them down. So we were like, oh, this must be pretty gnarly if they're flying them down. If they can't, you know, put them in a ambulance or wherever they got to get them.

[Ryan]

Keep in mind, we have a good hospital in Fargo, like 45 minutes away by ambulance. We have like, the best hospital other than the cities. Like, if you're north of the cities, that's the best hospital in the area. You go, right, so like level one.

[Gavin]

Trauma, fly them down. Right. So we. We expect like, once we get there, he's got to be out of surgery and, like, you know, they hopefully fixed whatever, like the emergency was. Right.

[Spenny]

You're coming to save me and bring me home is the idea.

[Gavin]

We walk in. Oh, how you doing, Spiny? Just waiting for whatever they say.

[Ryan]

We're like, what do you mean waiting?

[Gavin]

Did they fly you down here because it was like an emergency?

[Ben]

Yeah. Are you getting pissed off at this point? Are you telling me? I know.

[Spenny]

Too nice.

[Ben]

Too nice. Oh, my God. I would have been juiced up.

[Gavin]

So pretty much we sit there for the next basically 12 hours, and they were like, yeah, you're up next. As long as nobody else comes in and needs a surgery that's more pressing. So, like down in Minneapolis, like. So Minneapolis is like insane ghetto. Right. A lot of spots. Right. I think, yeah.

[Ryan]

The whole.

[Spenny]

It's just like the whole country. It's just like any standard downtown, like.

[Gavin]

People are doing drugs, time area. Right. So, like, the ER down there has like, obviously an insane amount of, like, workload. Workload almost.

[Spenny]

People falling over his head, you know, more people, scooters, random stuff.

[Gavin]

Yeah, right. So that's why they wanted him to go down there is because they were like, you're going to be in the best hands possible. Because, like, these emergency doctors are like, the best in the country of like, you know, they're going to see the gnarliest wounds. And also there was a really good hand surgery down there. Right.

[Mike]

That's the only thing that made me feel better. I'm like, okay, cool. You've been here for 24 hours. But at least the so he gets.

[Gavin]

There, and you basically just kept getting pushed back. Like, somebody else would come in with, like a, you know, a worse injury that needed a surgery before him, Right? So we're sitting there all day, and he just went from, like, second in line to, okay, you're still second in line, but one more person came in, so now you're behind them. And like, that happened all day. And then eventually, like, the doctor came in and they were like, well, it's not, like, dire. Usually we would just send you home and have you schedule a surgery and come back and we would just wrap it up, you know, and. And have you just chill for the couple days until the surgery.

[Ben]

That's insane.

[Gavin]

So, yeah, hopefully they get you in tomorrow and we're like, you guys, life flighted him down here just to sit in a hospital for another 36 hours before this.

[Spenny]

Keep in mind, I hadn't eaten any food this whole time because I wasn't allowed because they were like, he might be in surgery. He can't eat or drink water. So I literally was just fasting. Fasting, like, from 9pm or whenever we started wine night. What. What do we start at?

[Gavin]

7? 6. Yeah.

[Spenny]

And we didn't really even eat. We didn't. Yeah, we didn't really. Dinner. So I didn't really eat dinner. And then I just like a day and a half, no eating. And just obviously I'm losing so much energy from my injury, too, and losing a bunch of blood sitting there. So the best part was definitely having the boys rolling in the morning because I was already, like, feeling rough. One of the nurses, like, cleaned me up a little bit more. Still hadn't had a shower and still could smell the Parmesan. But I. I had. Yeah, I got cleaned up a little bit more, but the boys came in in the morning, which saved the day. And my girlfriend, she flew down to also save.

[Ben]

I know you still have some meat sauce in your hair, though, dude. It took me at least hours. That was bad.

[Ryan]

[Ken]

When did making plans get this complicated?

[Gavin]

It's time to streamline with WhatsApp, the.

[Ken]

Secure messaging app that brings the whole group together. Use polls to settle dinner plans, send event invites and pin messages so no one forgets mom's 60th and never miss.

[Gavin]

A meme or milestone. All protected with end to end encryption.

[Ken]

It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone. Learn [e-mail] bro.

[Spenny]

So then, yeah, anyways, sit up in the hospital for like a day and a half. And then finally two days later, they're like, all right, we got a time. It's like 4 o'. Clock, we can get you in. So then I'm sitting there at the end of the day, I'm getting the surgery and they're telling Ken. So Ken's the champ for staying because he was taking care of me. He was like running back, taking care of me. And then my girlfriend Toleda, she was there and we're like sleeping in this hospital bed together.

[Gavin]

Together.

[Spenny]

And I'm trying to make room for her because I feel bad, but I, like, can't really move enough. So I'm laying half on her and she, like, didn't want to go to a hospital or to a hotel, which is hospital probably. Yeah. So we slept in the bed together for like a night. And then I got the surgery. And then they're like, all right, you got the surgery, we need to keep you here.

[Gavin]

Which is the third.

[Spenny]

Which is the third night. So then I was like, hey, like, I gotta sleep in the bed alone. Like, I just got surgery and I'm dying by this point. Like after the surgery, I'm on pain meds, like just like out of it, just destroyed. I'm just tossing and turning all night. Couldn't sleep from my arm. And then I woke up at 6 or 7am, took a shower. This is my first shower. So now I'm like four days later, I get my first shower, right? I could get a wash my hair, shampoo and stuff. And I'm like seven o', clock, I'm getting dressed, I'm all fired up to get out of there. And then they take like till like 1pm to clear me to leave. So I'm sitting, I showered and I'm ready to go, like all fired up to leave. And I can't leave till 1pm so then finally 1pm can and toleda drove me back.

[Gavin]

And so what they end up finding in the surgery.

[Spenny]

So, so in the surgery, they got in there and basically they told Ken, until you did that? They were going to be like, yeah, we get in there, one or two tendons, repair them, and we'll be out 15, 20 minutes. So I'm like, all right, no problem. I head down to the, to the surgery room. I was down there for three hours. Ken and Toledo were stressing out a bit, texting me, trying to see where I'm at and because, yeah, it's supposed.

[Ryan]

To be 15 minutes.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Spenny]

The doctor was like, yeah, 10 or 15, 20, maybe 30 minutes at the most. And three hours later, I come out and. And had eight tendons flow fully sliced, and then one nerve. And the nerves, the bat kind of the bad one, because. So I had no feeling in my. I have no feeling in my thumb, my pointer finger, or my middle finger. I can wiggle them, but I just don't have feeling. And then actually nicked the artery, which is the main artery that you can die. So just barely. Barely nicked it. Just enough. Yeah, literally just barely. Just slice it. And that's why it was bleeding so much, but not enough to. To be, like, super, super concerned.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Spenny]

So got insanely lucky. Got the 8, 8, 10 repaired and one nerve.

[Gavin]

And they say that if you get into, like, a good rehab facility, then you can get all the feeling back.

[Spenny]

They're saying, but they're saying not to three years till I might start having feeling in my fingers again.

[Gavin]

What?

[Spenny]

Yeah, yeah, they said three years.

[Gavin]

So full feeling.

[Spenny]

Full feeling, yeah.

[Gavin]

Yeah. But I mean, get all mobility back, hopefully the tendons.

[Spenny]

Hopefully, yeah. I mean, the goal is to get at least 90. Yeah, I'd be happy with 80, but at least 90.

[Mike]

We gotta get this guy some heated gloves. That's what I think about, like, in the winter, if it's cold, if you can't.

[Spenny]

You can't feel the feeling.

[Mike]

All of a sudden, your hands are super cold.

[Spenny]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That is wild, bro.

[Spenny]

Yeah, dude, it was a pretty heavy couple days. And then got out of the hospital Friday and started filming Friday afternoon again. Right back into it. Literally right back into the action.

[Gavin]

And.

[Mike]

And not just Friday freaking. Like, I mean, we've been filming all.

[Spenny]

Kinds, dude, every day.

[Gavin]

His girlfriend and parents are gonna yell at us. I'm gonna like, that spinny gets back. And I was like, how you feeling? So good, dude. Well, we got something for you. Yeah, let's run it. Is that okay? Toleda, his girlfriend, she's just sitting there, just like. You're supposed to be relaxing.

[Spenny]

You should probably be resting. Eh, I'm like, I was just too fired up to be back with the boys.

[Gavin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I feel amazing. Let's go. You heard it.

[Ryan]

Spenny actually was the most positive guy through the whole thing. Like, it made me feel better talking to you. And you were the one who was injured. Like, I would be freaking out. I talk with you, be like, nah, man. Dude, it's my job to get better Like, I'm going to do whatever I can. These doctors don't know me. Like, I'm going to work hard. I'm like, wow. Like, it's you. Your mentality on stuff. Like, this is really commendable. And, like, I'm just.

[Spenny]

The worst part was when the doctors were telling me, like, yeah, it's gonna be three years. Like, I really. I didn't have much to say to them when they're like, what are you supposed to say?

[Ben]

You're gonna. Yeah.

[Spenny]

Guys, three years.

[Ryan]

What do you mean?

[Gavin]

You need to frick off right now, dog. Don't tell me that. Don't tell me that. You know that's right. Gab would be saying, don't tell me that. They're just sitting there, just, like, not. Okay. All right, I guess I'm done then, right?

[Ben]

No, I'm just saying, dude, you're such an athlete. You'll be able to get it back.

[Spenny]

Yeah. Yeah. So it's been, like, maybe a week. It's been a week since it happened, so flying back to Canada, flying home now and been in the cast for a week. I can move my fingers, like, just the slightest amount, but it is the weirdest feeling. It feels like you're getting, like, shocked by. It feels like a shock in my fingertips.

[Ryan]

It feels so weird because, like, the Nervous.

[Spenny]

I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. It just.

[Gavin]

Wow.

[Spenny]

It just feels like my fingertips are shocking when I move my hand. So I've been wiggling my fingers a little bit in the cast just for fun, just to see what. What we're working with and.

[Ben]

What are you working with?

[Spenny]

I can wiggle every single one of them, which is good. And I can, like, pick. I can. Because I have no feeling, but I can say, all right, I want to wiggle my thumb, and I can wiggle it.

[Ben]

That bad girl moving.

[Gavin]

Yeah, man. I just. I'm just glad that you're okay. And, like, dude, just the atmosphere of being in a hospital really puts everything else in perspective of, like, this is, like, the absolute last place that you want to be. Yeah. And, yeah, I. I just think about, like, when I was going home to, like, shower and grab a change of clothes, then to come back to the hospital to meet you. I was just like, man, I take this for granted. Getting to go home and stay home versus, like, have to shower and then go back to my friend in the hospital. Like, it doesn't get much worse than that. Like, that feeling.

[Ben]

Shitty feeling right there.

[Gavin]

It's such a shitty feeling. And it just, like, it gave me a different perspective of, like, man, I gotta take, like, my health.

[Ben]

Be more appreciative.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Be more appreciative and not take it for granted. And along with, like, all my friends, too. But, yeah, it was. It was crazy, dude. It was. It was a crazy experience. I know for sure that any time that you can avoid going to the Detroit Lakes Hospital because, wow, we have had nothing but bad experiences there. And, like, I get it. Like, it's like an ER atmosphere of, like, it's crazy. These ner. These doctors and nurses are like, never know what.

[Spenny]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

You don't know what's gonna happen or what's gonna come in. And, like, I wouldn't ever want to be in their position, but just, like, the way that the hospital handled it was, like, insanely unprofessional.

[Ryan]

There was some sweet nurses in there that, like, really helps Benny. And then there was also a batch of people that, like, truly were, like, so unhospitable and so, like, angry. And I have not been yelled at like that in quite a while. It was. It was impressive, actually.

[Gavin]

But regardless, you know, I. I like, try and, like, tread lightly on that situation because, like, I don't know about, like, the bad karma of like, going exactly like a hospital like that where no one day you might need them. Yeah, exactly. But it's as far as just like the whole situation, like, how it was handled. It was. It was really bad on their part and they need to fix that because most people don't have a podcast to go and, you know, share their experience, like, to the world. Right. They kind of just have to just take it and move on. And even, like, I don't want to, like, out them, but even some of the employees of the hospital were like, you guys need to say something about this experience because this is how a lot of patients get treated and they don't do anything about it. And they were like, you guys need to do something about this because we don't agree with it either. Wow. So, I mean, just to hear that. Yeah. Kind of puts it in perspective, right? About maybe just like the overall management of it. But. Yeah, I would never want to be a nurse or a doctor because of those shout out moments that they have to save somebody's life and it's like high pressure. Right? Dude, I'm just glad that you're good, Spoonie. I am.

[Spenny]

Me too.

[Gavin]

Yeah. If we take anything away from it, it's don't fuck with glass.

[Spenny]

Fog with glass.

[Mike]

It's always tough when People are like.

[Gavin]

Well, this is your left hand.

[Mike]

For those of you that don't know, he's left handed.

[Spenny]

Yeah. Oh, man.

[Mike]

I was just like, little things. Just so many little things. I mean, whether you're on crutches or you're missing a hand, like spending's laundry sitting out after that. And I was like, oh, he's got to clean this up. I'm like, oh, yeah, he can't. You can't even fold the shirt, dude.

[Spenny]

That made me so happy.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Spenny]

Mike went in and I had a pile of laundry on the thing, and I walked in today and it was all folded and my socks, dude, the hardest is putting the socks together and.

[Mike]

All your socks were inside out. I was like, man, he would have never got these.

[Ryan]

He was ripping pull tabs, though. I got a video of them ripping pull tabs at Zorbs.

[Spenny]

It was a bad situation, but I hope there's people out there watching that could use the. The positivity that I had and the courage. Inspiration, man.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Spenny]

I mean, I'm obviously like, I'm dealing with a lot. I got. This is like, I've rode dirt bikes my whole life and I could maybe never ride again, but I'm not gonna let an injury stop me. And if you're listening and dealing with the same, I hope you push through and. And get back to doing what you love.

[Mike]

Stay positive while doing so.

[Spenny]

Stay positive while doing so.

[Ben]

Maybe stay in the gym and keep having fun too.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Love you, Spenny.

[Gavin]

You're a warrior.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm glad. Not that any part of it was good, but like, I'm glad that you're here and you're smiling and it was like the worst week ever. It put everything it did into perspective. I don't. It was gonna be pretty hard to get me down this week. After that, I was like, dude, I'm just. I'm just happy to have my friend and see you smiling, and that's really all that matters. Yeah, definitely. In hindsight, 2020, we were maybe not as careful as we should have been, but now that's just. It's good. It was a lesson learned. We're going to take it. Continue to be more careful.

[Gavin]

Thanks.

[Ryan]

No more high heels.

[Gavin]

Obviously, at the end of the day, it's like, no more glass. Nobody should be wearing high heels, doing things we're doing, you know, Literally nobody. Literally, Literally.

[Spenny]

No more high heels.

[Ryan]

Unless you're going to be training, spending. You got to train.

[Dalton]

What about the cowboy boots, though? I mean, those are borderline high Heels with Gav wears, they're just as slippery.

[Gavin]

Yeah, but that guy lives his life in the cowboy boost. They should trade an extension of his body.

[Ryan]

You're like a Runway model.

[Ben]

Yeah, they kind of are.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Spenny]

Really? The only thing that I changed from my day to day life was the high heels. And I had never trained in those, so obviously it's new terrain for me.

[Ryan]

You did hit a new zone. Spaghetti. Yeah, spaghetti was a new zone.

[Spenny]

Got a ride in Ryan's house, which was awesome.

[Ryan]

I actually, I tore it down today. I was like, this place, it hurts. Benny, I had him bring.

[Gavin]

There was really no cleaning spaghetti out of that place.

[Ben]

Sorry to change the topic. But still on the same topic, my helmet. Ryan, you know we found it, right? Did you hear about this?

[Gavin]

No. Yes.

[Ben]

It's in the back of the sprinter van.

[Ryan]

I'm glad you took something positive.

[Spenny]

How did you not know that?

[Ben]

Because we thought it was missing. Ryan told me they threw it away when Randy was cleaning for all the helmets.

[Gavin]

Gav was about to go to the dump.

[Ben]

I was. Yeah, I was watching back all my crashes. I was like, holy. Like, I've seriously taken so many damn crashes in this helmet. It's got to be, you know, hung up on the wall somewhere for sure. Like, actually has to, like. We're done wearing it now. It's downstairs right now. Let's definitely put it in a box here soon.

[Gavin]

Don't you worry about that, Gav, all right?

[Ben]

I'm not worrying.

[Dalton]

You gonna get a new one?

[Ben]

I mean, we got five more cut up, ready to go now.

[Gavin]

Should we talk about what happened this morning? Yes.

[Spenny]

Like, there's.

[Gavin]

Where do we even.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm intrigued. What the frick happened this morning?

[Ben]

Me and everyone just getting on good terms again. Are you sure you want to bring Ev.

[Mike]

Come sit here.

[Spenny]

It's been, what, three hours? And they've just been getting on good terms now.

[Gavin]

I don't even know where to start besides for, I guess at the beginning.

[Ben]

Yeah, go for it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we're all good stories.

[Dalton]

Start.

[Gavin]

So we are paving all of the. The farm property right now. So, like, everything that was gravel is going to be asphalt and it's all going to tie into the main drift track. So.

[Ryan]

Big moves.

[Gavin]

Big moves, right? Moves. Yeah, we've been. We've been saving up, putting money into a. A jar underneath, you know, in our closet for the last two years since we bought the property for this moment. So we got everywhere at the farm. If you guys know this, we're. We're hoarders Right. We don't throw anything away. Well, every time we get done filming videos, these vehicles end up somewhere on the farm. And now it's all getting paved. We have to move them. One of them being our school buses. Right. We have three school buses, two of them full size, one of them a short bus. So we start moving these buses around, not thinking anything of it. Like, we were just moving the vehicles at the farm for the. The asphalt video just to move them.

[Ben]

Super casual soup.

[Gavin]

Casual. Well, what didn't clock is we had Evan driving the short bus, pulling C.J.

[Ben]

Told me to hop.

[Gavin]

Pulling the full size bus, which Gavin is driving.

[Ben]

Yeah, the second.

[Gavin]

Because the full size bus wouldn't start. Right. Yeah.

[Spenny]

We needed somebody to steer the. But the big bus while the little bus.

[Dalton]

Extremely simple task.

[Spenny]

Extremely simple task.

[Dalton]

Probably the biggest steering wheel you've ever seen. You just a little left. It's a little right.

[Ben]

Exactly.

[Gavin]

Foolproof.

[Ryan]

Literal blind man could do it.

[Gavin]

He did. All right, so they. They pull it up, up through the farm property and. And park it on this hill. And then on the way, pulling it there from, like, one end of the property to the other. Evan was like, pulling Gavin around, like, these corners in this bus. Right. And so we could see it, but Dalton was sitting there filming on the other end, which was already pretty reckless.

[Spenny]

Because there was like, Ben's Lambo, CJ's Raptor on the drift track, Mike's drift car, the GMC. Like, there's a lot of rigs on the drift track, and you guys are blowing by them.

[Dalton]

It was all uphill once we left the drift.

[Ben]

That was the good part.

[Spenny]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

So I had to carry the momentum on the drift track.

[Gavin]

True. Yeah.

[Dalton]

Make it up this big grassy knoll.

[Spenny]

Which had to let alone the turn that Gavin had to make to get from the drift track to the hill alone. Almost piled him up. Was so scary because he drove into the trees. He drove into the trees?

[Gavin]

Really? Yes. Oh, I mean, yeah.

[Ben]

At least 20, 30 miles per hour. Dude. I'm yanking the steering wheel. Wish it had a GoPro on me at least, please.

[Gavin]

So, yeah, I mean, we're watching this, right? And I'm. I'm laughing just watching him try and make these. These corners. And so, like, I was scared. I didn't foresee that happening. I didn't think that you were gonna tip over a full size bus just on our trip track.

[Ryan]

Not a three wheeler. They're a lot more stable.

[Gavin]

Right. I honestly figured that when you were just going through, like, you were gonna just cut the corner too tight, and then, like, hit some overhanging, like, tree branches, and like, maybe, like. Like, sideswipe the side of the bus. Right. So we, like, end up getting up to where we were parking them, and Gavin's, like, crawling out the back of the bus, and I was just. I just yelled at.

[Dalton]

No, no, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're parked about side by side at this point.

[Spenny]

Yeah, they're parked side by side by side.

[Dalton]

So I can see. Oh, my driver window. Gavin is in the front of his bus.

[Gavin]

Right.

[Dalton]

But all the rope, like, 50ft of toe strap is slack because we're next to each other.

[Gavin]

Correct.

[Dalton]

That's when Ben tells us.

[Gavin]

So then I. I pull up. I pull up, right? And they're. They're right there, and I just go, yo, Ev, run that back. And Dalton will, like, just get in position and get a shot of you actually going up. Right. I was just thinking just swing back around and then just get a shot pulling them back up the hill.

[Spenny]

Yep. So Evan hears that. Fires.

[Gavin]

Evan hears, run it back. He fires up his bus, and he.

[Spenny]

Starts driving right slow. He started off slow, but you know what?

[Ben]

Let's go back. You guys knew I didn't have brakes.

[Gavin]

No, I didn't know. I did not know.

[Dalton]

You do have brakes. You gotta quit saying you don't have brakes.

[Ben]

Go put my Mike. Is there a break there besides the foot? But the foot brake doesn't work.

[Gavin]

Correct.

[Mike]

Footbrake doesn't work.

[Dalton]

Yeah, but the handbrake does.

[Ben]

I didn't know about a damn handbrake.

[Gavin]

Okay, So. I didn't know that. I didn't know that the brakes didn't work. I thought all was normal and the brakes were good. Yeah. And you could steer, and that was fine.

[Dalton]

We got there perfectly fine without breaks the first time.

[Gavin]

So.

[Ben]

Yeah, because you went uphill like you.

[Dalton]

Said, which we were gonna do again.

[Ben]

Keep going. I did not like coming around the corners.

[Gavin]

Honestly, I didn't. I didn't know about the brakes or any of that. I just wanted them to just run it back. Like, a lot of times, we'll just run things back, and Dalton will just get in another position and, like, actually get the shot. Like, we missed so many shots, Right? And you just. That's the beautiful part about a track, is you just go around it again.

[Ben]

That's correct.

[Gavin]

So that's kind of all I was thinking. And meanwhile. So Evan fires up, and he starts, like, pulling away. Meanwhile, Gav gets up out of the seat.

[Dalton]

Also, Gavin doesn't know how to open the school bus doors.

[Ben]

That's why I was also pissed off. I would have stayed in there. Help me open that damn door. I did not like being locked in there. The only exit point with for me was all the way in the back. That's why I was already back.

[Spenny]

How did you get in there in the first place?

[Ben]

Was already open. Then after we were going.

[Gavin]

He literally can't figure out the little child. Try.

[Spenny]

You can't figure that out.

[Ben]

He has a video on his phone of him just making fun of me.

[Dalton]

I do have that video.

[Gavin]

Let me out of this thing. Let me out of this thing.

[Ben]

Already wanting out. Help me get out, please. I cannot open this door. How do you open it, Ev?

[Gavin]

Oh, God damn it.

[Ben]

What do you do with it?

[Gavin]

Pull.

[Dalton]

We got to stay in there.

[Ben]

No, I do not want to stay in there.

[Ryan]

Why was that a scary ride?

[Ben]

Hell of a scary ride. I had zero brakes coming around that corner right there. I thought I was gonna pile it in those kids truck.

[Gavin]

So Gav's locked in this. I. I guess I didn't know about any of these problems Gav was having, right? But Ev just kind of starts pulling away. And meanwhile, Gav walks to the back of the bus, right? And I can see Evan about to, like, give it a little yank. So I yell at Gav as his head's popping out the emergency exit on the back. Yeah, as his head's popping out, I'm like, like, watch out. Because I didn't want gap, like, the bus to, like, yank a little bit. And then Gav's head halfway out that, right? And so from there, he just hops out.

[Spenny]

Hops out as the bus starts rolling away.

[Gavin]

Rolling away. And then I'm like, gav, he thinks you're in there. Gab, he thinks you're in there. And Gav's just standing there watching it, like, laughing.

[Spenny]

He's like, oh, no.

[Gavin]

And I'm like, no, Gab, he thinks you're in that. That bus right now. He thinks you're in that bus. Meanwhile, Mike's sitting right here, and Gavin just goes. Gavin just goes. Mike, go tell him. And I'm like, you go to run after him right now. All you have to do is just run after him. And. And as soon as he sees you, he'll stop. Mike go down. Yeah.

[Ben]

Him and Spenny are in the middle.

[Dalton]

But the mule goes six.

[Spenny]

But I.

[Mike]

And, yeah, I was going full speed, but I still didn't know why. I'm like, well, where's Evan bringing the bus and then Spenny's like. I'm like, Evan thinks Gavin's in there.

[Spenny]

And then I'm like, follow him.

[Gavin]

Go.

[Dalton]

I have, for the record, just because of previous stunts in these buses, no mirrors. I can feel the rope is tight, which means Gavin still there. All we got to do is one easy, simple loop around the property. Mission accomplished. So I really. My biggest worry was that pulling this bus is really a strain on the short bus. So I'm like, I just got to keep it to the floor or else.

[Gavin]

That's a good concern.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it's got to keep it. Keep it moving. Use the momentum of the hill and just keep going.

[Gavin]

Boy, did he ever keep it moving. Oh, yeah. So Evan starts driving, like, as you would imagine Evan would start holding it wide open. Ripping, Right? I'm watching this short bus pull this full size bus through our field. And then Evan hops up on the gravel road. That's like the community, the public gravel road that we share with our neighbors. And then he hops on it. Meanwhile, the big bus follows him for a little bit, and then it starts trekking down into the drive.

[Spenny]

Yeah. Going off into the ditch on the other side of the property.

[Dalton]

What is this moron doing?

[Gavin]

You know, we all know he loves.

[Dalton]

To hit the fucking ditch, but I'm like, just come on, Gav.

[Gavin]

Like, keep it on the road. So I know that Evan still has no idea Gavin's not in this because of how hard he's driving. And I'm just, we're going to be stuck. I'm just like, oh, my. This is so bad. I'm screaming, chase after him. Chase after him. Meanwhile, Spenny and Mike are chasing them down in the mule. Well, the mule goes 6 miles per hour, and you're in a skid steer. And I'm in this, right? So I'm tracking along at, like three miles per hour. Mike's going six. He's barely ahead of me.

[Spenny]

And Gavin standing around like nothing's even happening.

[Gavin]

No. Gavin starts chasing him down, but his pockets all full of, like, his wallet and stuff, right?

[Spenny]

He's running after him.

[Gavin]

He has six Celsius cans in his pockets. So he's running after him, just trying not to lose his pants, right? Like, looks like a hoodlum running with his pants around his knees.

[Ben]

Gosh damn it.

[Gavin]

And so basically, long story short, the bus ghost rides into our neighbor's fence, through the fence, and then hits our neighbor's skid steer he had parked there.

[Spenny]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

And so, like, Art hit the skid.

[Spenny]

Steer Plowed the skid steer, dude.

[Gavin]

And so, like, imagine that.

[Spenny]

Plowed it pretty hard.

[Mike]

Plowed all the fences over.

[Gavin]

Luckily, that slowed it down. Plowed through our neighbor's fence, smokes the skid steer. Evan hops out and goes, it wasn't me. It wasn't me.

[Dalton]

I said it once, but I'm like, well, obviously, obviously, it's that idiot. It's the idiot steering the bus's fault, not the guy toy.

[Gavin]

It's like.

[Dalton]

Like I said, big steering wheel, not that hard. We just already went around the whole drift track. He can clearly navigate corners.

[Gavin]

Correct.

[Dalton]

So how he found a way to swerve off the road and run into the neighbor's skid steer is beyond me because I did nothing different then than I did four minutes prior. And everything was perfectly fine.

[Gavin]

Yeah. And so basically, we then start evaluating what just happened.

[Dalton]

Well, after about 20 seconds, when the span. Gavin's not in the bus.

[Gavin]

It goes.

[Dalton]

From bro, bro, bro, to no, no, no.

[Gavin]

Dude, that wasn't.

[Ben]

I think this might be one of the funniest things to happen up here yet.

[Dalton]

And that's what pisses me off, is Gavin still thinks this is just a joke. This could have been so bad at this point.

[Ben]

Now it's funny.

[Spenny]

I got it.

[Dalton]

That's not good.

[Gavin]

Yeah, dude. So, so basically, it. It plows through, like, a couple fence posts.

[Ryan]

Here comes Ben finally coming in this kid's chair.

[Gavin]

Yeah, right. And here comes Ben and it plows. Yeah. What do I say? Rolling up. I was blacked out. I was like, no way. This just happened, bro.

[Spenny]

I got it. I got it on camera. I got it.

[Gavin]

God.

[Spenny]

I think Dalton started getting you there.

[Gavin]

Yeah. All right. So the bus plows into the skid steer. So this old, like, 90s model skid steer that's just made of straight steel.

[Dalton]

Thank God they built stuff.

[Spenny]

They are. If that was a new skid steer, that wouldn't have been good. But those things are so strong.

[Gavin]

So our neighbor skid steer is sitting there. It just plows into the skid steer. The skid steer stops it. We run up. We're, like, looking to see what all is broken. Obviously applied through two fence posts. But the skid steer is just sitting there. Just like, a little, like, cinder block. Right. Just stop this full size bus coming at it. And we're like, there's got to be something wrong with it. We're looking around, and we're like, this skid steer is completely fine. Didn't even have a scratch on it. It was unbelievable.

[Spenny]

They didn't even scratch the front of the bumper. On the. On the bus was like, total, like, cut off.

[Gavin]

Fiberglass.

[Spenny]

Fiberglass everywhere. Light was blown out. So this did some damage, but did some serious damage.

[Ryan]

Was fine.

[Gavin]

Just like you'd imagine.

[Ryan]

Embodiment of.

[Gavin]

Gavin just ate it. Oh. It was like if Gavin was sitting there. Yeah. What it would look like. Yeah. It would have stopped it. So our neighbor owns a sod field. So, like, he grows perfect grass. Right.

[Spenny]

Golf green.

[Gavin]

Golf green.

[Dalton]

Believe me, I. I know what a properly manicured lawn looks like. And he's got one going.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

40 acres of it.

[Gavin]

Yeah. It's a perfect pristine grass. Right. And his skid steer was just sitting right in line with what would have been a Runway for this runaway bus.

[Ben]

Literally perfect spot.

[Gavin]

Bus would have ended out up in the middle of his lawn. Like, it couldn't. Like it couldn't have been any better. Had gone any better. He didn't have his truck sitting there. He wasn't there. Like, there wasn't.

[Dalton]

And the crazy timing for the strap.

[Gavin]

To let loose when it did.

[Dalton]

You know, I could have been continually pulling it more. Like the strap came loose right at about the time it really.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Ran into all this.

[Gavin]

Yeah. There's a. Yeah. There's plenty of other things that could have hit. Like all of our.

[Spenny]

That's where his customers load up to imagine if it could have been there. Like, it could have comes flying around the corner. Nobody.

[Dalton]

I can't imagine what would happen. Gavin, when it came to.

[Gavin]

Gee gersh. My bad.

[Ben]

That's how I would have gone. I would take in the blame for it like a man.

[Spenny]

But you didn't.

[Dalton]

But you're not taking the blame for this now.

[Gavin]

He did take the blame for it. Sorry.

[Dalton]

I heard him say that.

[Gavin]

Yet Gavin calls our neighbor, and our neighbor just so happens to be a total G. He comes up, and Gavin tells him to be pissed. So he comes up and he's like, what the. I'm totally ruining this. Because this will be a good video bit. But the OGs that are listening to the podcast that watch the videos. You're getting a sneak peek of what's happening. It was just. I'm just. I want to tell this story because it was, like, the craziest thing that's happened. We've done a lot of insane stuff in the last week. This still tops it of just like a. A sheer accident that wasn't supposed to happen.

[Dalton]

Out of nowhere, I was genuinely shook. Yeah. Upset about it.

[Gavin]

This guy. Yeah. Evan was so.

[Ryan]

He.

[Gavin]

Our Neighbor comes up and. And he's like, what the. Of course this happens. You guys are always horsing around. And I'm just like, we are always horsing around. And I thought he was pissed. And then he. And then he goes, I'm just getting boys. I don't give a. Yeah. And he's just like, oh, this is. You don't. You don't even got to fix it. We'll replace the fence. Like, we're so sorry. He's like, replace. You don't. Don't worry about replacing the fence.

[Spenny]

You don't even got to fix it.

[Gavin]

He's like, don't worry, like. And so Evan's, like, away at this point. And Evan's walking up, and we're like, yo, yo, yo. Just pretend to be pissed when Evan gets up here. So he gets up, and he just goes, who was driving? Because the sheriffs are on their way. Oh, man. Look over at Evan. And Evan just goes. He was.

[Dalton]

I knew.

[Gavin]

Points at Gavin.

[Dalton]

Well, I was standing in the driveway and heard them all laughing and cracking jokes. And then when.

[Ben]

All right, Betty and I got to take off, guys.

[Dalton]

Good.

[Gavin]

You guys dipping? Yeah. For real?

[Spenny]

We do.

[Ben]

Yeah. It's 3:15.

[Gavin]

Get a gift.

[Ryan]

You gotta leave now.

[Ben]

Mine's still at five.

[Spenny]

Yeah, I changed my. I wanted to hang with the boys more. They'd been too nice to me.

[Ben]

Well, I guess we're both staying.

[Spenny]

No, I'm just kidding.

[Ryan]

Are you seriously leaving? Because you didn't get a gift?

[Spenny]

No.

[Ryan]

Oh, well, we'll get ac. Dude, I can get it installed.

[Gavin]

Yeah, we are.

[Ryan]

I'll get it installed, bud.

[Spenny]

Why are you trying to get out of here so bad?

[Ben]

No, not at all. I had a great week. That was actually, like, 10 days right there.

[Dalton]

Plus, I thought you preferred to miss your flight in Fargo so you could swing by your pals.

[Ben]

I do have a backup plan.

[Ryan]

That's good to have. That's good to have, bud.

[Gavin]

Let me finish this story. The guy comes up all pissed, and he goes, who's responsible for this? And Gavin stepped up, and he said it was me, man. I'm sorry. When you didn't have to, Gav. Wow. I mean, it kind of was. Kind of did happen. It was your fault, but there was a lot of fingers being pointed. And then when it came down to it, you stepped up and you took it.

[Ben]

Somebody just got to eat. If you have another person coming in, of course, we could bicker on our friend group, but if, you know, somebody's got to handle the situation, After.

[Gavin]

And if somebody's going to handle the situation, it's going to be Gavin Elon fixing your guys's mistakes.

[Spenny]

Yeah, I said. I said, what a typical. What a typical day. Evan and Gavin break a bunch of shit and Ben and the rest of the boys got to smooth it over for him.

[Gavin]

That piece of shit. And walked away.

[Dalton]

Really convenient though, that Gavin just spent like yesterday installing the post hole digger on the mini X.

[Gavin]

True it is.

[Dalton]

To put our signpost.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Which is going to be like 10ft away from that guy's signpost. So it's like.

[Spenny]

And you got to make it right. And give him like the auto gate too. The electric gate. You got to put the electric gate.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

You know, I'm not sure if we're gonna go that far, but. Sorry. But it would be nice.

[Dalton]

Maybe I'll offer to mo his lawn once.

[Spenny]

Dude, if you guys got him like, you know how, like, what's that donut place? Krispy Kreme? How they have like the hot and ready sign. If you had a sod. A sod sign that said sod ready and it flashed red for him.

[Gavin]

Dude.

[Ryan]

Pretty sick.

[Spenny]

All right, guys.

[Gavin]

Hell of a week. Later, bro. Love you. Good luck, shreds.

[Spenny]

Thank you, baby.

[Ryan]

Bye, Spank.

[Gavin]

Hey, keep her out of the rhubarb.

[Spenny]

Shred if you stand in trouble, okay, little buddy?

[Dalton]

I always do. I always do. Hey, you just stay out them heels, all right?

[Gavin]

Stay out of the heels, buddy.

[Dalton]

See you in a couple weeks, bro. Say hi to the Beavers. The maple syrup.

[Ryan]

Who's not bringing you guys to the airport?

[Mike]

They're taking my ram.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Oh, sick.

[Ryan]

And they pick it up later. Nice.

[Gavin]

See ya.

[Ryan]

Bye, Spenny.

[Gavin]

Later, dog.

[Ryan]

Take it easy, man. When those boys leave, it kind of just. It just like. You already miss them.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Dude, I love those guys. Yeah. I don't know if we financially real. I don't know if it can keep them around much longer. You gotta hit like a 10 day spurt, you know? 10 days on, 45 days off, 10 days on, 45.

[Dalton]

It's almost like going on a vacation that's so much fun the entire time. But when you get back home and everything settles down, it's kind of a sigh relief when the dust.

[Gavin]

Literally when the dust settles.

[Dalton]

I mean, after a few days of like settling and then you're ready for another vacation. But yeah, it's.

[Gavin]

Yeah, I mean, it's hilarious, dude. Like, hey, every time Gav's here, crash that piece of and walk away.

[Ken]

It was like a movie the way he hopped out of that bus too. Like it was just beginning to move right as he was like on his step out. Like it was just the smoothest step out and it's just like already moving. He hasn't even turned around.

[Gavin]

He's still looking at me talking as I'm just like.

[Ken]

And it's already going.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

It was like a movie.

[Gavin]

It was like a movie.

[Dalton]

So frustrated that I just don't think he ever comprehended how truly bad that situation could have been.

[Gavin]

Well, that's like, that's.

[Spenny]

Whoa.

[Gavin]

Everything he does out of everything couldn't.

[Ken]

Been any luck here.

[Dalton]

Not to mention because of the asphalt going in. There's a half a dozen merch workers with nice vehicles parked right, right there.

[Gavin]

It would have. If the bus would have gone around, it would have hit them.

[Ryan]

Yeah, true.

[Gavin]

We would have been buying all of our employees new cars. One of them has a damn Cadillac. Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Frick, man. Speaking of cars getting hit, Ryan, I saw your Hummer and I high key cried for you.

[Gavin]

Oh, yeah, sorry about that, Ryan. Dude, I have been a pretty eventful podcast. Yeah, no kidding.

[Ryan]

A lot of carnage. I guess. I. I'm not gonna say anything more, but I know I. At least I think I have to be one of the only people to have crashed two Hummers within 24 hours.

[Ken]

It's insane.

[Ryan]

We had the little yellow crash and then we had that.

[Gavin]

We'll see that in this week's video.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. Just. Just a bad day. Woke up early to go to the gym and better myself. And I came up behind this lady who was driving unreasonably slow. I don't know. Who wakes up at 7:15 in the morning to drive below the speed limit to work?

[Ken]

Senior citizen.

[Ryan]

Someone who's probably looking for deer, I.

[Gavin]

Guess maybe she was going slow because she saw some deer.

[Ryan]

Probably. And so I'm. I look in my rear view to make sure nobody was trying to pass me. I wait to crest the hill, throw on my blinker, and then it felt like my car got rocked by a 200, £300 animal.

[Gavin]

I mean, seeing. Bro picture, Ryan, it looks like an elk hit you.

[Mike]

Yeah, I was just gonna say it looks like it got rocked by a 500 pound animal.

[Ken]

Body checked?

[Gavin]

Yes. Or. Or a buffalo.

[Ryan]

Honestly, I.

[Gavin]

How did a deer cause this much damage? Can you pop it up?

[Ryan]

I can. I never saw the deer. And I turned.

[Gavin]

It was a deer. Are you sure it wasn't a. A Volkswagen like.

[Spenny]

Or like Brian Erlacher or.

[Ryan]

You know, honestly, I don't know it hit me. I got out, assessed the damage, took a snapchat and I turned around to go make sure the deer wasn't on the road. Cuz like it's kind of a dick.

[Gavin]

Move to hit a deer going to.

[Dalton]

Do if it was there.

[Ryan]

Well, I was going to drag it off the road. Like I would have taken care of it.

[Gavin]

Hit, dude, its head hit the front of your car right up on the quarter panel. And then the rear end came around.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

And the box body hit the door. Like that's the only way that it could cause that much damage.

[Ryan]

So I think too honestly, it's a bummer you didn't trip and hit my tire. It probably would have been fine.

[Dalton]

Your headlight fine.

[Ryan]

No, that's the worst part actually. Just the side of the headlight is cracked and that headlight is a part of the whole front end assembly. And it's like eighteen hundred dollars for one headlight.

[Gavin]

How does this work when you have two claims on your Hummer for deer in the last 12 months?

[Ryan]

Well, it definitely isn't gonna make it worth any more money, that's for sure. I don't know actually, I think it's fine. I think it's just another claim. When you, when you look up the carfax, it's gonna say two minor collisions.

[Ken]

Yeah, that'll be the issue.

[Mike]

So this is kind of what I was getting at when I was talking about the winner of the Lamborghini with the little metal plate.

[Gavin]

How it just hit the front, front.

[Mike]

Fender when you were like, yeah, I hit a deer. And I'm like thinking the Hummer's tough. And then I saw it went, oh my gosh, that's a lot of damage.

[Ryan]

Front bumper's crooked. The headlight, the fender, or the, the piece of the body line around the headlight, the hood is moved over the fender, the door, the rear door, and kind of that plastic piece up at the top.

[Gavin]

You damn near totaled this thing out.

[Ryan]

Hopefully. I'm really hoping it's totaled out. That'd be best case scenario.

[Ken]

What would you do?

[Ryan]

I don't know. Probably buy something that's not built like a fucking pop can. An H2 Hummer, I'll tell you.

[Gavin]

Yeah, I was gonna say just go back to what wasn't built like a pop can. And that's the original.

[Ken]

You could get like a 2009.

[Ryan]

I know. Honestly, I'm thinking about it.

[Ken]

But they're not cheap.

[Ryan]

They aren't cheap.

[Ken]

It probably cost more than what that thing's worth.

[Dalton]

Even we're coming into deer season now. At this rate, it's pretty likely you're gonna hit another. You don't fix it yet. You just run it for a bit. And then just so you don't have to have three claims, it'll.

[Ken]

You should do a military grade Hummer.

[Ryan]

I was kind of thinking about that. Like, I should either outfit this one like Mad Max style and really make it deer proof. Deer proof. Or I could. Or I could grab a Humvee. I mean, he really doesn't even like riding in this Hummer, so I can't imagine she'll like riding a Humvee either. What's the difference?

[Ken]

Do what Mark has with Humvee. But, Duramax, you're a Hummer guy. You've had every form of a Hummer. Besides that. I think it's the next step.

[Ryan]

Dude, those aren't cheap.

[Ken]

Complete the circle, Ryan. Nothing's cheap in life. And if you're gonna keep crashing them, it's not going to get any cheaper. So something like that. You could hit a deer and it'll be fine.

[Dalton]

Couldn't you just Humvee body swap this? Now that would be a cool.

[Ryan]

That'd be something cool, too.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Take all the. All the electric stuff, put that in the Humvee.

[Gavin]

That would be.

[Dalton]

I mean, just drop the body. Basically drop the body onto this one.

[Ken]

You'd have half.

[Ryan]

Robbie Layton. Yeah, he's gonna be the only guy that's gonna be able to figure that.

[Ken]

He'd be able to do it for cheap for you, though. He'd be able to do it right and good. And you wouldn't get.

[Gavin]

You wouldn't get reamed.

[Ryan]

Yeah. All I know is something's getting closer to the pole. It's either that Hummer. I'm gonna have to start working one to pay for this thing because it's not looking good out here.

[Gavin]

Yeah, right. You've been thinking about that one up. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I'm just like, dude, this thing, it's first thing my dad said. I send him a picture. He goes up bright. Time to put it on the pole then.

[Ken]

Yeah, dude, he was telling me that back before it was even crashed.

[Ryan]

Dude, he hates it because I just moved back in with him because I'm renovating my house after Gavin and Spenny and we destroyed it, and it jacks up the electrical bill.

[Ken]

How much?

[Ryan]

I mean, it probably adds, you know, like 400 bucks a month of electric bill or something like that.

[Dalton]

Really? Oh, I'd rather buy gas.

[Ken]

That makes me Wonder how much Ken's been jacking up the bill.

[Ryan]

It's a good question, Ken. Ken told me the last time he's like, oh, I spend less than 20amonth charging my Tesla. And there's like, actually no way. Because, I mean, I watch my energy bill and like, when I drive his.

[Gavin]

Charges, when it's not surging.

[Ryan]

Yeah. He has off peak and his battery is like half as big. Because this thing is the most inefficient brick of a vehicle that it, like, actually has the biggest EV battery out there. So it takes a lot more to charge to Hummer.

[Ken]

They got to stay inefficient in some way.

[Ryan]

Exactly.

[Ken]

Even when it's an electric vehicle, you got to still manage to make it expensive. Expensive to fuel up.

[Mike]

Can we watch the. I just didn't realize. Can we watch the video of your house, pretty much your entire house being torn down?

[Ryan]

Yeah, that then. So to kind of make matters worse is then I went to my house and it was planned on being torn down. So everything was going well there. And we started digging in. I mean, here's a picture of the wood, like, dude was so rotten in there. Actually, as we started digging into this place, Randy was like, I thought it was going to be not good. And it was worse than I thought.

[Gavin]

As in what? Like, you plan on getting rid of it anyways. Right.

[Spenny]

But you know, some people are like, really?

[Gavin]

You.

[Mike]

You went and tore down that.

[Gavin]

That was a nice house.

[Mike]

But it makes you feel a little bit better that it was a little more rotten than you thought.

[Ryan]

Some of the biggest, like, problems were is there was no insulation in the ceiling at all. The only insulation, because it was a flat roof and it was like an old style flat roof, was a 3 inch foam board. You're supposed to have like 16 inches of insulation, which explains why I could never heat it in the winter.

[Gavin]

Yeah, you've talked about that on the podcast multiple times. You had that thing just set at 85 degrees. Yeah.

[Ryan]

It never warms up.

[Gavin]

Never get above 70.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And so we start digging in and we're doing this, and Randy starts looking at the roof and the rest of the roof on the house. He goes, dude, there's no insulation in this. The only way we can even make it slightly thermal efficient is either building a second roof on top of the roof and covering your old roof or stripping down the ceiling even lower. But it's like low ceilings because you're.

[Gavin]

Only renovating half the house.

[Ryan]

Correct. I was only going to tear down the front and leave the back.

[Ken]

Because we thought now what are you doing?

[Ryan]

So we start digging into it and he goes, you know, he goes, you really should just take this all down. And I'm like, I'm in a destructive mood this morning. I go it take the excavator.

[Ken]

That's the right move.

[Gavin]

That was the right move.

[Ryan]

We're leaving the garage still. As far as I know when I left. Yeah, we're leaving the garage.

[Ken]

Just the garage but not the top.

[Mike]

When I watched the video back, I was like, the whole house is gone.

[Ken]

I was wondering where they. I was like, man, they really looks.

[Dalton]

Like they went past like one wall.

[Mike]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ken]

I was like, it looks like they went past the break point.

[Gavin]

But.

[Ken]

And I was like, how are they going to meld this?

[Ryan]

Like no. So it actually worked. Cuz they had done all the prep work to cut the house apart and. And it worked flawlessly. If the original plan was going to go like the front of the house just fell off and this was perfectly unscathed.

[Gavin]

Ryan's remodel.

[Ken]

I think you're doing the right thing, Ryan.

[Gavin]

I truly do.

[Ken]

Even before finding out it was rotten, you know you were talking about. I wasn't going to tell you what to do, but I was like, man, at that rate you might as well get rid of a whole new house. You were tearing like saving part.

[Gavin]

And Randy must have been so happy.

[Ryan]

Oh dude, he's so stoked, man.

[Gavin]

He had to have been like, you're.

[Ken]

Going to be way happier with the final product.

[Ryan]

I am, yeah. And so then the worst part is the kind of last thing on it because whatever we start digging in and we were going to use the old foundation that was underneath that part of the house because we were able to just put a floor over it. It's only going to be one story now. Yes. Whatever. We're like, oh, easy stuff. We dig in. The excavator guy goes, you guys seen this wall yet? We go, no. 4 inches leaning in. Like all the walls were basically starting to cave in on the hill. So they're ripping that foundation out too. Starting to dig more.

[Ken]

Just start fresh, dude. I think you just might as well get rid of the garage. Start fresh.

[Ryan]

I absolutely, I agree I should have. But I a considerable amount into remodeling the garage already.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Oh, that looks fun. Yeah. Yeah, that makes more sense.

[Ryan]

Like it actually looks nice now. Like the inside of the garage. The garage looks nice now. Oh, this is me walking through the house, going outside. It was kind of weird. It kind of looks Like a tornado came through. Except for it was just an excavator.

[Mike]

But it sounds like, again, you know, financially, more of a setback. But you're getting a basement.

[Spenny]

Yeah, it's like, is.

[Mike]

It's a ton of added square footage to this house.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That's awesome.

[Ryan]

It'll be good in the end.

[Gavin]

And you guys, what a mess.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So, honestly, bad day for Ryan's checkbook. Not. Not good.

[Gavin]

Yeah. But in the long run, that's way better because.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Gavin]

Because then you would have had, like, when it came time to sell, it's like this house that's kind of patched together.

[Ryan]

Totally.

[Gavin]

And you can. You can always just like, you know, when they do additions that you can just tell. Right.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

This one's going to be full construction.

[Dalton]

Insert the little Joe exotic meme.

[Mike]

I will never recover from this.

[Ryan]

From this.

[Dalton]

From the day. The whole day.

[Ryan]

This last seven days. Yeah, it's been. It's been pretty rough for the kid.

[Ken]

But it's going to push your. That's going to push your moving date back. Yeah, a fair amount, too. But like I said, I think you're doing the right thing, because I. I was kind of thinking to myself the whole time I'd just tear the whole thing down.

[Ryan]

Well, something that really got to me. CJ came over this summer. He goes, you know, this place is really nice. I like it. Whatever. You know, he's being a good friend. And when we came in for wine night, he goes, this place is kind of booty.

[Gavin]

It is.

[Ryan]

And I was like, yeah, he's right. It was more booty when it was stale and we hadn't been running the ac and it smelled like.

[Ken]

Smell bad.

[Ryan]

It smelled bad.

[Mike]

Kind of booty cheeks.

[Ryan]

Man with the dirt, it. So, I mean, the house is 70 years old. The roof hadn't been fixed in 35 years. There was no insulation. There was a lot of things that, like, truly needed to happen to bring it to the first century.

[Gavin]

What a day.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, it is currently 3 o' clock and it has been financially destructive, so I hope we have cheap plans for the rest.

[Gavin]

Could have been worse, Ryan. You could have had your Corvette parked in the employee parking and had a school bus run into it. Can you actually imagine? Everything Ryan owns, it got destroyed in one day. Oh, you didn't hear?

[Dalton]

Dalton was driving it earlier today.

[Ryan]

Honestly, that's fine. Whatever.

[Gavin]

At.

[Ryan]

At this point, it scorched earth.

[Dalton]

Like, how many minutes did you put in. Into the decision of. Yeah, we're tearing like half the house down to right.

[Mike]

Happened so fast.

[Dalton]

I think even an hour is a pretty quick amount of time to make that decision.

[Ryan]

I feel I would say less than eight minutes. Probably less than five. We got it. We started. They broke off the last section, and Randy goes, this is not good. We're just gonna be a lot of work, whatever. And I go, yep, tear down. Just keep going. And then they cut a rest. The rest of the roof. And. Yeah, it was.

[Gavin]

That had to have been music to his ears, though.

[Ryan]

Oh, he's so stoked.

[Ken]

Yeah, it had. It felt good for you, I'd feel.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was.

[Gavin]

It's.

[Ryan]

It was. There was the only part of the whole thing that I was really anxious.

[Gavin]

About of seeing how. How it looked under there.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Now I'm just worried about paying for it. So shout out to Shopify.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ken]

I mean, technically, you're in charge of how expensive it's gonna get. Just depends how nice you make it. Yeah, that's the thing.

[Ryan]

Like, if you just met me, just get a double.

[Mike]

The tough part is, I mean, there's still a baseline cost, and that baseline cost is.

[Ken]

Yeah, yeah, the baseline cost is definitely expensive. But I'm saying, like, yeah, it's how you finish. It's really gonna be up to you as to how much it costs.

[Gavin]

You know, worst case, Ontario. Ryan, leave it a blank lot.

[Ryan]

Park a camper on it.

[Gavin]

Well, not even. We'll let you use the houseboat. Yeah. Park it up front.

[Ken]

Then you go. You park your car there. You walk down to the houseboat.

[Gavin]

You already got a dock.

[Dalton]

You got a lift.

[Ken]

The houseboat won't fit in it, but you'll just, you know, anchor and boom.

[Gavin]

Yeah. It's not the worst option.

[Dalton]

Maybe pick up a dinghy.

[Gavin]

Yeah, you could even, like, I can.

[Ryan]

Afford a dinghy at this rate.

[Ken]

Depends how far out you want to be. I mean, you could anchor it, so it's, like, perfectly, like. You just walk right off your dock onto it.

[Ryan]

Right onto it.

[Ken]

House on the lake. No one's closer to the water than.

[Ryan]

You that's gonna get something. The neighborhood to talk about. I tear down my house and then start living on a shed on top of the water.

[Ken]

Yo, when it was spaghetti night and we were getting prepared.

[Ryan]

Oh, man.

[Ken]

Your neighbors come out because, like, I'm sure they're not used to seeing much action at your house.

[Ryan]

No, it's pretty quiet.

[Ken]

And then we're all run around, you know, setting, move. You know, there's cameras, there's. People are screaming. Some people are Are drinking wine. Everyone's in white. Everyone's in white. And everyone's got a place to be. They're back and forth, back and forth somewhere. Woman's clothes, you know, what is going on here? There's, you know, cameras, all this.

[Gavin]

And.

[Ken]

And I just got Snake this video of you talking to your neighbors.

[Gavin]

Oh, no.

[Ken]

Oh, it was hilarious.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I did talk with him. And honestly, we don't really see each other that much there. I'm never there because I'm either here or sleeping. And they don't operate on the same schedule as me. Basically, they live normal lives.

[Mike]

So when you're explaining it to him, I'm like, dude, all this is gonna be pretty chill.

[Gavin]

Weird.

[Mike]

Weird outfits. The cameras, some noise, some hooting and hollering, some broken glass. But when the rev limiters are, you know.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Smoke alarms. How many smoke alarms did you like going on?

[Gavin]

3, 4.

[Mike]

And when all that was happening, I mean, it sounded like World War iii.

[Gavin]

And.

[Mike]

And so it just. Then they're probably like.

[Gavin]

Like the escalation. It was so hectic, and it was just dark enough. Picture Ryan just going off of.

[Ken]

Ryan's in a suit.

[Ryan]

Just a disheveled suit too.

[Ken]

Those people work their whole life to be on the lake. They're very happy. And then Ryan moves in.

[Ryan]

Look at me.

[Gavin]

Look. Awesome.

[Ken]

Awesome. Retirement.

[Gavin]

They.

[Ken]

There. It's nice and peaceful. Beautiful views. Now it's the sound of screaming motors. And then, like, imagine that you just hear screaming motors, fire alarms, smoke billing out of the house. And then you see a group of five to five people come screaming out covered in. In red spaghetti.

[Gavin]

We gotta get to the hospital.

[Ken]

I fire up my raptor and floor.

[Dalton]

They heard it all the way there.

[Gavin]

Oh, yeah, dude. They're just sitting there. Like, who would have seen that coming?

[Ken]

What just happened? And then it goes dead silent.

[Dalton]

Dude, that's what I was gonna say. It was like, so eerie. So after the. It was like me, Gav, Ryan and Ken maybe that stayed to, like, load up the last couple things or whatever. And then just, like, standing there, it's like dead quiet. Other than smoke alarms going off, it's just. Yeah. The tire smoke coming out the windows, it was just like. I mean, what did the whole thing last? Like, 45 minutes of the most insane chaos. And then it's just like.

[Gavin]

On what just happened.

[Ryan]

It was eerie. Like, I mean, you're just.

[Dalton]

I'm standing scared for spending. Of course.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I'm standing in my living room, which is in shambles. I mean, there is just Stuff everywhere. There's literally a wine bottle stuck in the wall.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Actually, I'm listening to all the smoke detectors go off in, like, at different times. The smoke's billowing out of my house. We're all shuffling around on spaghetti, trying to figure out if our friend is going to be okay. It was, like, scary shout out to Randy. He cleaned up all that spaghetti and all the stuff because he didn't. He didn't know how long it was going to be until the excavator guy had a cancellation, so he had to go do something else. And so he cleaned up the entire house.

[Mike]

I felt so bad.

[Gavin]

I was just chilling, Right. You need to get him something nice.

[Mike]

I was just.

[Dalton]

Yeah, a wine and spaghetti dinner.

[Mike]

I'd say we do. I'd say we got to get him something nice.

[Ryan]

Look at me, dude.

[Gavin]

Mike.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's our content. But, yeah, so I felt bad, Ryan. So I was just chilling. I knew you guys were gonna be at the hospital for hours.

[Gavin]

What was that guy doing? What were you guys doing? We have to load up the dirt bikes.

[Mike]

But I was.

[Gavin]

That night. That was.

[Mike]

But I was like, dude, Ryan, you want me to, like, shovel this up? And you're like, no, the excavator is coming tomorrow.

[Gavin]

And, yeah, all right.

[Dalton]

Like, my clothes and stuff. I even asked him, like, am I cool to just, like, throw it, strip everything off and just left it inside the door. And that's kind of why. Why Gavin assumed his helmet was gone. Because we were basically told, whatever gets left in here is going to be gone, like, tomorrow with an excavator.

[Ryan]

It was my presumption as well. But, yeah, I guess excavator guy had.

[Ken]

A prior, you know, Would have been a really, really funny prank on the excavator guy is like, not have Randy, who's general contracting it there. And, like, you're kind of there.

[Gavin]

You're.

[Ken]

You have to tear down, do this, that, the other, and then have, like, Mark pull up and be like, what are you doing to my house? And then you just take off running, and they're like, God, like, they think they tore down someone's house. You know, that'd be hilarious.

[Mike]

You could get them to believe that. That'd be a great troll.

[Ken]

It'd be like Ben's Lambo startup.

[Dalton]

We did that one time removing siding.

[Gavin]

Really?

[Ken]

You actually removed someone the wrong house?

[Gavin]

Oh, yes.

[Dalton]

But it kind of buffed because we were doing, like, houses that were, like, repossessed or, like, owned by the city or whatever. So we were on the right block. And it was a house that had gotten repossessed, not the house that was supposed to have the siding taken off. So it, like, kind of buffed out.

[Ken]

Yeah, because it was like a city owned thing.

[Gavin]

Yeah, whatever. We'll just.

[Dalton]

I think basically how it buffed is the city was going to need it torn off, but they hadn't, like, okayed it yet. So then they're just like, well, we're not gonna pay for it. We're like, all right. So we basically did the work for free. It was something that should happen later. But that was a crazy call from our boss. He goes, where are you guys at? And we go, oh, we're just at the job.

[Gavin]

We're just.

[Dalton]

We're just about wrapped up for the day. He's like, well, I'm sitting here and I don't see anybody in this house. Is fully signed. Oh, I think you might be at the wrong house. He's like, I think you might be at the wrong house.

[Gavin]

Did you yourself? I would have.

[Dalton]

Well, no, like I said, it was still gonna, like an abandoned house. It wasn't like the neighbor's nice house, but, yeah, buffed.

[Ryan]

My God.

[Dalton]

Things happen.

[Gavin]

Well, I'd like to say that might be the only destruction happening on Ryan's shore, but, I mean, my house has still got to come down, so.

[Mike]

Oh, gosh.

[Ryan]

Yeah, something's happening.

[Gavin]

Well, I think you gotta drive a car through it.

[Ryan]

I did think about when. When we decided to take it down. I mean, it. It seriously was 8 minutes or less from the time we decided to take it down to then. And I thought about calling you guys and being like, get a car here now. Like, we got to do something.

[Dalton]

Get a.

[Gavin]

On our way, Ryan.

[Ryan]

But that part of the house is actually attached to the garage, which re really needed to stay. Really needed to stay. So then Randy and I talked about. He's like, if you hit that wall, it's going to pull on the garage. Because it was like two stories with no floor in it. So it was like twisting and bending. But yeah. So sorry about that.

[Ken]

No, it's all good.

[Gavin]

We.

[Ken]

Trust me, right? We got enough content.

[Ryan]

We did good.

[Ken]

Your house has done enough, buddy.

[Gavin]

Dude, it's amazing what these, like, tear down houses have done for us.

[Ken]

Big Ken's, iconic Ryan's. You'll never forget Ryan's.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Gavin]

Ken's gonna go down in the history books.

[Ken]

My house didn't get torn down, but it's still got farm animals put in it.

[Gavin]

Really nothing safe. Unless you're Mike and you move to a completely other town.

[Ryan]

Different state.

[Gavin]

Different. Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I've felt safe, but I still not.

[Ken]

Sure if I'd know how to get to your house if I had to drive there by myself.

[Mike]

You guys got my location.

[Dalton]

You know, every time I've had to pick you up a couple of times, I'm like, I need the address.

[Gavin]

So Ken's on his way to London right now. He's going to. Oh.

[Spenny]

I'm like, where's Ken?

[Dalton]

So did he find enough friends for those tickets?

[Ken]

No, he bought ten, by the way. He spent ten racks on tickets. $1,000 a piece, and he only sold four.

[Gavin]

I remember. Yeah, I remember hearing three of them.

[Spenny]

Scalping.

[Ryan]

Oh, dude, that was so nice. Again, he wanted. He wanted his buds to come.

[Gavin]

Yeah, Ken was coming.

[Ken]

He didn't ask us, though.

[Gavin]

He wasn't buying them for us.

[Ken]

He was asking the other. His local friend. Yeah, he didn't want us to come. Then they didn't want him. They bailed on him. He was like, you got to buy these, cj. I was like, nah, I'm good.

[Ryan]

I ain't going to London.

[Gavin]

You notice how we didn't even find out that he bought extra tickets until he needed to sell them?

[Dalton]

He ran it by me one night after four martinis, but other than that.

[Ken]

It was after they were still pending. You know, he had to. He had to sell them. I don't know. He probably sold them on, like, seatgeek or something.

[Gavin]

He was, like, lower in the price. But which sucks, too, because the bikes lost last weekend, and if they would have won, people probably would have been more stoked. Like. Like, people.

[Ken]

They're still. They were still in it, dude.

[Dalton]

They're still playing the Browns. We can't possibly lose.

[Ken]

They got pretty good defense, man. And, I mean, the people will know whether we won or lost after this came out. So I don't wanna. I don't want to talk too much.

[Gavin]

About it, but having any kind of hope.

[Ryan]

Shout out, Blaze, man, I can't believe he's a cheer harder.

[Ken]

He needs a cheer harder.

[Gavin]

Yeah, Ken's going back to Europe right now.

[Ryan]

I wonder what's gonna happen.

[Gavin]

Like, I don't know when he's coming home.

[Ken]

Well, do you remember last time he went to Europe?

[Ryan]

He damn near doesn't.

[Ken]

Well, he got hammered because he was young. You know, this was. It would have been probably, what, 18, 19?

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

It was then legal to drink there. So he started boozing. Probably drinking a little too much. Wine? Well, at the time, Jake was dating an older girl, our friend Jake Sherbrooke, and she was in Europe with Ken.

[Ryan]

Oh, you know, Ken was sliding.

[Ken]

He was. Because apparently he was kind of touching her ass or something. Do you guys not remember this? And Jake Sherbrooke called him out in our group chat, and then Ken was like, I don't really remember.

[Gavin]

And then.

[Ken]

You don't remember this.

[Gavin]

That's why Ken came home and was like, oh, I don't really remember. Yeah, he keeps saying, I don't remember. I don't know. And then.

[Ken]

And then Jake's like, I just remember being like, I don't see how a full grown man doesn't remember rubbing up on some holy.

[Ryan]

Ken does kind of do that when he is embarrassed. He goes, I don't remember that.

[Ken]

He might have actually been blacked out.

[Ryan]

He might have.

[Ken]

I mean, I don't care. I mean, it was just, you know, high school girlfriend, that stuff. That doesn't really matter.

[Gavin]

This round twos are.

[Ken]

Maybe we're sliding in, though, so who knows? Hopefully he doesn't get himself jammed up again.

[Gavin]

I mean, we know one thing, and that's Ken has some weird infatuation with our girlfriends or, like, his friends.

[Ryan]

We could say this, and we know he's not gonna listen.

[Gavin]

He's not gonna have no idea. And I don't want to say that.

[Ken]

Do you think he has an infatuation with him? I wouldn't say that. Maybe I think he feels comfortable around them. So, like, he's talking to him more than he would talk to any other female because he knows he knows them where.

[Gavin]

Like, I'm gonna go out on a limb just because I know Ken pretty well and assume he wasn't rubbing up on Jake's girlfriend's ass because he was trying to, like, smash or, like, do something like that. No, like, he wouldn't do that. But he just feels, like, comfortable around them when, like, he wouldn't necessarily do that, too.

[Ken]

Sometimes you pull your pants down.

[Gavin]

So what?

[Ken]

You know I'm kidding. You know, it is funny though, just the other day, you know, I still live with Ken. I go walking downstairs and Alex is. I think she's vacuuming, and Ken's there in his underwear, just doing something in the. In the living room. And, like, they're not, you know, completely different side. You know, Ken's got some balls on him. Like, so it's just like some major package hanging down. And, like, I don't care. I'm not worried about it one bit.

[Gavin]

But.

[Ken]

But, like, it is. I did think to myself, like, man, most people would be like, what the going on? I didn't think nothing.

[Gavin]

Like, I just was like.

[Ken]

I kind of chuckled to myself of anything. But, yeah, it's just funny. We're different, though, like, in terms of the way that we all probably react. But honestly, if. If I walk down there and maybe if it was any of you guys in your underwear, right, I'd maybe be like, what's going on here? But I trust Ken.

[Gavin]

I trust Ken, too. Yeah. He could take Greta on a. On a date for. He could take credit to Europe for a week, and I wouldn't be concerned about it.

[Ken]

You probably have a great time.

[Gavin]

But that's where Jake. Jake Sherbrooke saw that happening. He was like, all right, well, let me call Jake.

[Ken]

Let me call Jason.

[Gavin]

He was mad. He's gonna remember this. Let me.

[Ken]

Let me call him, because I don't want to talk. And who knows? Maybe we got to cut this. I mean, they're not together. High school girlfriends literally mean nothing. And I'm sorry if you're in high school, but until it goes past that, I just. Most.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Yo, what's up, dude?

[Ken]

Yo, tell me if we need to cut this from the pod.

[Gavin]

But we're.

[Ken]

We're live on the pod, and Ken just went to Europe. Do you remember last time he went to Europe?

[Gavin]

I do remember last time he went to Europe. He started making out with my girlfriend. Boom. There it is.

[Ryan]

They were making out.

[Gavin]

Hold up. Make it out.

[Mike]

There's no way that's where the beef started, bro.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ken]

See, I tried telling these guys about that. I go, you remember what happened last time? They didn't really remember for some reason. And, you know, of course Ken doesn't remember it.

[Gavin]

Yeah, no, that guy will never remember.

[Ken]

So they were kissing, huh?

[Gavin]

Oh, yeah. Big time. What?

[Ryan]

Oh, that's pretty up.

[Ken]

I didn't know they kissed.

[Gavin]

I thought he.

[Ken]

I thought he touched her ass. I couldn't really remember correctly.

[Gavin]

I think it was a little bit of everything.

[Ken]

I'm sure if you're kissing, you're gonna. You're gonna grab down there.

[Ryan]

What happens in Europe stays in that point.

[Ken]

Yeah. So. All right, well, that pretty much. That pretty much answers everything.

[Ryan]

Well, I'm glad we got that cover.

[Gavin]

And, you know, just had to re. Dig it up.

[Ben]

I'm glad we're putting it to bed.

[Ken]

All right, Doug. That's all right, bro. Well, that answers that.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Gavin]

I don't want to say Jake's lying, but I think he might be salty about it. And he was looking for his opportunity to get some revenge on the deal.

[Ken]

He's been waiting 11 years for this?

[Gavin]

I think so. Like, I. I don't know if I remember it quite like that, but then again, Ken's not here to defend himself, so. Whatever.

[Ryan]

You need to go to Europe.

[Gavin]

What up? Last thing.

[Ryan]

I don't know if you guys talked.

[Dalton]

About it on the pod today, but.

[Ryan]

That skid steer you hit, I don't.

[Dalton]

Know if this is gonna make it better or worse.

[Ryan]

That one's still my dad's.

[Gavin]

It's not Sam's.

[Ryan]

Oh, no wonder he didn't care about fixing.

[Dalton]

Always leaked hydraulic fluid out of the front, right?

[Gavin]

Yeah. That's all right.

[Ryan]

You gotta take it up with him, man.

[Dalton]

I'm hands.

[Gavin]

Oh, my.

[Ken]

It's just a little bit of pain on it. On the fork. It's okay.

[Gavin]

Hey, Jake. Jake, you know what's funny? After we did it, after we did it, we were sitting there and we just go, man, imagine how bad this would have been if our neighbor was like Dave Sherbrooke.

[Ken]

He would have ran into our fence.

[Gavin]

We literally said that.

[Ryan]

It would have been awesome. He would have hopped in his truck and ran over our offense.

[Ken]

It been eye for an eye for sure.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

All right. See you.

[Gavin]

All right. Yeah. Anyways. Yeah, later.

[Ryan]

That doesn't remind me. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna learn how to deer hunt because I don't know how to hunt that well, and I'm gonna kill a deer.

[Ken]

I would actually love to go get hunter safety with you, Ryan. I think that'd be fun.

[Gavin]

Yeah, Ryan, you got to do that because a big part of deer hunting is to manage the deer population, which.

[Ryan]

Clearly someone needs to do their job. Someone needs to get out there. We need to get kids into hunting. Because my Hummer can only take so.

[Gavin]

Much and they're not drive around.

[Ryan]

And I asked chat this morning, I said because I was all fired up.

[Gavin]

At the deer population as a whole.

[Ryan]

I said, what is the Most reported animal vs. Car collision? Deer by far.

[Gavin]

And then followed up with kangaroos, I bet.

[Spenny]

Sure.

[Ryan]

It doesn't even matter. Oh, yeah, kangaroos, actually. Yeah, it varies by region.

[Dalton]

Yeah, there's not a lot of kangaroos in Minnesota.

[Gavin]

Yeah, but if there was, Ryan would hit him.

[Ryan]

But yeah, I think we. That we need to do one of two things. Exterminate the deer or learn them how to cross the road when there isn't a 9,000 pound object hurtling. Between them.

[Gavin]

You know what, Ryan? I think that you need to just start putting deer crossing signs in safe places. It's a good idea, you know, to make sure that the deer are crossing proper in proper spots. Yeah, that's.

[Ryan]

That actually is a good idea. Because if so, if they had a crossing, then I would know where to look for them.

[Gavin]

And. And when you put up the deer crossing signs, like, you gotta do it right. You gotta have the dashes on the road, and then you gotta have, like, the. The post on the side so when the deer come up, they can press the button.

[Ryan]

A little squirrel running crosswalk.

[Gavin]

Yeah. Right.

[Ryan]

Yeah. No, I'm. Whatever it takes, man. Whatever. My Hummer can't take much more, and neither can I, emotionally. So. Yeah, we'll. We'll figure something out. But.

[Gavin]

Yeah, dude, you got to get into hunting, Ryan.

[Ryan]

Gotta do something.

[Mike]

Good idea.

[Ryan]

I. Seriously, I've filled my freezer two years in a row with freaking my car. Why do I need to go hunting? Is that actually legal? Can you take road like.

[Gavin]

Yeah, you can.

[Dalton]

You gotta report it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's. I haven't report. Well, I guess I reported my new insurance, but it's not like I called the cops. Like, there was no animal on the road. It wasn't.

[Dalton]

The DNR would, like, come out and tag it and stuff. Like, if you really wanted to, I.

[Mike]

Should say in the. If you can have it in season, I think, you know, you could put a tag on it if you had one.

[Ryan]

I hit it with my 12 gauge from the window of my vehicle. It's a little less.

[Gavin]

You can't do that.

[Mike]

Yeah, you can't do that.

[Gavin]

You'll learn that at hunter safety, Ryan. Really, you can't do that. You might be on a watch list. There's so much saying that you could.

[Dalton]

Take, like an hour class online, but I think you need to go sit down with the children.

[Ryan]

I actually do think, like, eight class.

[Dalton]

Hours and really go through.

[Ryan]

I think I probably should learn the most that I can.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

For your safety, hunting with me.

[Gavin]

That's the point of hunter safety. It's.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And I actually hit some clay pigeons. I don't know if that's, like, super hard to do if you've never shot a gun before, but I did hit a few.

[Dalton]

Were they in the air or.

[Ryan]

They were in the air. Yeah.

[Ken]

You're not a big gun guy, though, Ryan.

[Ryan]

I'm not. The world is safer with the guns in the hands of the right people, and I am not one of the right people.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ken]

I could tell like every time we've ever had guns and you have one, like when it's your turn to be working it, you're not super comfortable with it.

[Gavin]

No.

[Ryan]

And that's because I respect. I never learned. I respected it. And yeah, seriously, like, I think, I think people who want to own guns should own guns. But I don't know if the world is safer, you know, if you're the right guy having one under the bed. Like, I just don't know if me cortisol spiked the middle of the night after a branch fell on my roof, if I should be running around with an AK47, right, with a scope and flashlight, that's what I would use to protect myself.

[Gavin]

That's actually. So one time we basically ding dong, ditched Ken's bedroom. And so we go over there, it's like two in the morning, sneak up to his window. You like hear this floor start moving.

[Ryan]

Oh man.

[Gavin]

Light switch flip on. And then you just hear going up the stairs. He goes up on like the deck above his room and goes, get the off my law.

[Ken]

He's always just screaming.

[Gavin]

And at this point we're hiding in the bushes, right? And he goes.

[Ken]

Imagine the neighbors.

[Gavin]

Imagine the names as loud as he could, right? And so we're hiding in the bushes, and once it goes quiet, we just take off running, right? And then as soon as we take off running, we just hear him then running through his house, the front door. Next thing, I'm running towards Ryan's car parked like a block down, right? I look back, I just see Ken chasing after me. I'm full on sprinting. Ken's chasing me down. What was he getting a good thing? I don't know.

[Ryan]

Without good a shape he's in now, bro, he would have hawked you down like a freaking. What, what do they call corner? Cornerback. Cornerback. The person.

[Gavin]

Safety.

[Ryan]

Safety, sure. Yeah. Whoever tackled you.

[Gavin]

I. I get like me and Ryan. It was me, Ryan and Jake, right? And we get to Ryan's TC parked a block down, and we're trying to get in there. And at this point, Ken is getting closer and we're just like, the gig is up. Ken, it's us, it's us. Ken, it's us. And he gets up there and he still does the thing where like he gets up, but he's still super mad. He'd do this today. I think he might have grabbed me and like shake, shake. Shook me a little bit. Yeah.

[Spenny]

Why?

[Gavin]

And, and so he thankfully calms down. And anyway, we, we hop in and we, like, drive away. Like, jeez, man. He was pretty fired up, right? And we see Cody, his brother, the next day and go, did you hear about what we did to Ken? And he goes, did I hear about it? Yeah. He came and woke me up and said, give me your gun. Holy.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ken]

Could you imagine if he actually gave him the gun? He shot someone?

[Gavin]

Well, I mean, no.

[Ken]

Yeah, they knocked on my window.

[Gavin]

Cody. Cody can't. Brother who's much more just sane, goes, no, absolutely not. And Ken is like, there's somebody knocking on my window. And Cody's like, I'm not. No. Go back to bed. And then that's when he ran upstairs and then proceeded to go, get off my lawn.

[Ryan]

My God.

[Gavin]

So I do agree, Ryan. Certain people should not have them in moments like that.

[Ken]

Oh, that can be in jail right now.

[Ryan]

It would have changed my life, dude.

[Gavin]

How.

[Ryan]

What would we have done without.

[Ken]

Depends how good of a shot he is, though, so possibly could have been an even better story.

[Dalton]

If you were just wounded, he'd probably be out of jail by now.

[Ryan]

His butterfly.

[Ken]

I don't know. Like, if Ken hit me with. Got me maybe in the leg with, like, a shotgun bb, I definitely wouldn't send him to jail.

[Ryan]

No, I'm not pressing charges.

[Ken]

Yeah, no, it just like, yeah, Ken shot me one time, but whatever.

[Gavin]

Boy who cried wolf of like, you ding dong. I'm sure that's pretty common for like.

[Ken]

Actually, my mom sent me the link. It was some young kid that, you know, was ding dong ditching, and basically the neighbor shot him.

[Ryan]

Sad. Jesus.

[Gavin]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What was he doing? Ding dong ditching inside the house? Like, if your doorbell rings, are you gonna pop somebody?

[Ken]

Dude, it's just that that's the problem. And I mean, kids gotta be kids. Kids gotta be kids.

[Ryan]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ken]

Some kids on your street just dang dong get you.

[Gavin]

Whatever. What was the story you were telling the other day, C.J.

[Ken]

About owner. Oh, so, like, in high school, I never. Maybe I did do it one time I was with them, but I didn't physically ring the doorbell. But there was this group of kids, and they didn't drink or really do any of that stuff. But, like, their thing was like, we're gonna ding dong ditch this house. Like, they would do, like, pranks, kind of. Like they did this one so up, like, they'd like, poop on a dollar. They call it poop dollar, set it out, and then someone would pick it up. They'd be, oh, dollar pick it up. There's poop on it. And then they drive by Poop dollar and they'd roll out and like.

[Ryan]

Pretty funny.

[Ken]

Pretty funny. Obviously gross. You get feces on your hands. Debatably worse than, than underage drinking in high school, you know, because you're. You're kind of affecting other people at this point. The poop dollar, not so much innocent fun. And honestly, the ding Dong ditch, it got to a level where it wasn't innocent fun. So anyways, there is this one guy and his daughter was in, I think great above us. And the dude was just a hothead. And ironically he happened to drive a Hummer. He drove a Hummer H2. It was orange.

[Ryan]

It had.

[Ken]

It was the pickup one though.

[Gavin]

Whoa.

[Ryan]

But that's worth.

[Spenny]

Pretty sick.

[Ken]

I think it was even lifted, but it was on stock wheels if I remember correctly. So lifted on stock. But you can already imagine it can't have it all. Anyways, so it was always parked in his driveway. And they dang dong ditch him every night for, I believe, like over. I think it was like over 200 and something. Times like I. I'd have to double check. But anyway, so. And the guy never knew who it was, but like he was so close to like physically catching them every time. So it was like this game of cat and mouse. I went with one time to like witness this and I don't know, is.

[Gavin]

One, you know, starting to get a load of this.

[Ken]

You know, me and my, my group of friends, we're all acquaintances, but so we, we went and joined in. And I remember like army crawling through like this grass and like this whole thing and I'm like sitting across and the one kid goes up gets it. We're all out, we're running, get to the cars, you know, we just got our license leave. But this guy comes out hot. So I mean, it got to the point where like he had a paintball gone. Yeah, like he was doing a bunch of crazy stuff. Like I don't really understand why the guy just didn't disconnect his doorbell. But he was a hothead. Like, you could have legitimately just disconnected your doorbell. Don't go answer the door. They ring it when he didn't go to the door. You know, eventually it would fizzle out. But I think, I think that they.

[Gavin]

Might have just almost never learned they didn't have it.

[Ken]

He didn't have it in him to just chill the out and maybe like whatever he gave and realistically he did it to himself. He provided an extreme reaction. Like I'm talking, he's screaming, you Know all this calling the cops, freaking out about this ding dong ditch. They end up catching them. End up catching them. I think the cops maybe got involved in catching them or I don't really know, but they ended up getting to the bottom of it. And one of my, one of my buddies was. I. I don't really know how, how it really happened, but they boil it down to who the ringleader was, one of my buddies, ringleader and the ringleader of the operation. You know, there's a lot of people doing it, but there's kind of one guy and pressing the button anyways, they had to go and sit down with the police and all this. And as the story goes, his dad was like, what the fuck? Like, we got. He dang dong dish. We got to meet with the cops. All this because he like downplayed it when he explained it to, you know, I got caught ding dong ditching this guy's house. But this is extreme, you know, like.

[Ryan]

What are we doing?

[Ken]

We're really doing this. So they had to go with the cops. They had to like, meet and then he's there as well. So it's like his parents, him, the cops and this guy. And you know, his parents are like on his side as they're going there and they sit down and the meeting opens up and he pulls out this book and it's got. Every time he was dang dong ditch the time it happened in the date. And it was like for 270. It was like an extreme amount of times. And his dad just goes, looks at him like at that point he's like, I'm fucked up.

[Ben]

I'm.

[Ken]

I can't remember what like his consequence was. I don't think he ended up like really getting in trouble with the law any further past that. But he, There was some kind of situation. There was repercussions. That's all I know. And it's just a. It was a funny story and it, it's just a fellow hummer owner, but I always chuckle at him telling the part where. And then my dad just turned and looked at me. It might have been in the three hundreds. I. I don't remember the exact number. I remember it was an extreme number, though.

[Ryan]

I just don't piss. You'd be like, think you're siding with your kid? Listen, bud, we're gonna get this all smoothed over. Kids can be kids.

[Ken]

Well, you know how you would. You'd explain it to the cops. You know how you'd explain to the. Or to your parents? I mean, you'd be like, yeah, you know, I ding dong dishes and now I'm in trouble. We gotta go meet with the cops. And you know, you're. You're kind of trying to ease them into it, but the dude came with receipts and then he was fucked.

[Gavin]

Don't mess with a hummer owner. You don't know what those guys are gonna do.

[Ryan]

I think to leave us on this video is not us, but it's gonna give you a little teaser of what's to come. I'm just gonna leave us with that.

[Ken]

What the frick, dude?

[Ryan]

I'll see if I can zoom in.

[Ken]

He launched off boner aired, fell off the back, and then the quad kept going. That's actually sick.

[Gavin]

What?

[Ken]

I mean, if you would have landed been even sicker. That's the thing, dude. These golf courses, if you had a dirt bike, there's some pretty like prime natural jumps.

[Ryan]

I actually do not know what the frick this guy was doing. Freaking jumping his four wheeler on.

[Ken]

That's way worse than anything we've ever done.

[Dalton]

Maybe knew how to hit a jump on a four wheeler to begin with.

[Ryan]

It doesn't seem like it. For whatever reason. No audio at this tick tock. He is dude. But just no.

[Gavin]

Oh, unless he didn't know it was there. He can sneak up on a guy.

[Dalton]

Maybe doing a high speed.

[Ken]

No helmet it looks like.

[Mike]
