Mike
I'm really glad. I'm okay. That was. That was wild.
Ben
What do you have against people's privacy?
CJ
And he crashed. And all of us just turn and look at big wrench.
Ken
Like, what the heck?
CJ
Why'd you build that? You want to know one time when the intrusive thoughts crept in?
Ken
You have to sign a waiver. I've actually never been to a Monster Jam.
Ben
No, man. They just walk in and hand you a beer.
CJ
The Sea Boys is a cult.
Ben
It didn't work.
Ken
The worst comment that I read was, even if you would have made it, I'm not sure if it would even have been that cool.
Ben
Oh, I read that.
Ken
And then I thought of Mike doing that and went, damn.
Ben
Wow.
Ken
That really.
CJ
I don't think people appreciate the rail slides as much as they should.
Ken
I mean, if somebody was in person to witness that and how gnarly it is, like up close.
CJ
Just go stand next to the rail. The rails up here. Okay. So he's going to be grinding up there on that, like.
Mike
Yeah. Like, for some reason I remember being way more nervous to like jump the jet ski over the ponds, you know, into the thing. Even though that was like pretty low risk.
Ken
That was a guaranteed crap. You've done some gnarly.
Ben
You really have.
Ken
I mean, it's definitely gotten to a point where, dude, there's no. No arguing the fact, like, we've done some crazy shit. Yeah.
Ben
Yeah.
Ken
Some shit that deserves respect.
CJ
I was wondering that.
Ken
So many things.
CJ
Who else on YouTube has like a catalog like ours where you can scroll through and be like, holy shit.
Mike
I just.
Ken
None. None. No, there's no way.
CJ
Yeah.
Ken
Because I mean, week to week to.
CJ
Week to week to week.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
Back to back.
Ben
That one Russian guy.
Ken
Yeah, yeah, dude, I saw one today of him.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
Jump between two buildings. Yeah.
Ken
With like a 10 yard run up.
Ben
Yeah.
Mike
And I'm bouncing ass car.
CJ
Yeah.
Ken
I got to just.
CJ
He wasn't even wearing a helmet, bro.
Ben
He wasn't?
CJ
No. He just crawls out of the, like, the car is literally ripped in half. Damn near. And he just crawls out the windshield.
Mike
He's like, runs off.
Ben
Dude, that was the most gnarly thing I've ever seen. Not only did he crash into a building at 15 miles an hour, he then fell four large stories to the ground.
Ken
How is that guy?
CJ
Okay? Like, he does that all the time. He was in a hospital for a while. Like he was hospitalized. Cuz he broke his back or something.
Ken
No.
CJ
And he's just right back to it. He's fine.
Ken
The thing about everything that he does well, it seems like almost half of it is like, the purpose is to fail.
CJ
I don't know. No.
Ken
Where he broke his back. He jumped into the ice. Like, the car.
CJ
Jumped the car.
Mike
1. He was all right. He tried to do this huge gap.
Ben
Into a river that's right across.
Mike
Across the river. And he didn't even come close.
Ben
Okay, look at how gnarly this is.
Ken
Maybe it's when he doesn't come close. That's where I was.
CJ
Like, buildings abandoned or is this what it looks like in Russia? God damn.
Ben
Oh, like, that is violent. And then here, I'll go to the next.
CJ
Just the building crash was violent.
Ben
Look at this, dude.
Mike
That's what I mean. It crushed.
Ben
Like, dude, the homies filming gotta be like, I. I know how crawls, right?
CJ
He's out, bro. Helmet, dude. Russians are built different.
Mike
They're cheering.
Ben
He was running away from the pain there for sure. But, I mean, I know how I felt watching Micah crash. And compared to that, that was like taking a spill on a tricycle. But, I mean, I know how I felt watching that in the, like, sick to my stomach feeling in my gut and in my core. I was like, this was awful. So I can't. This is. That's too much.
Ken
Let me see some other accolades of this guy. What else is he.
Ben
Oh, this one's pretty crazy. And he's driving a Miata. Convertible.
Mike
No, Case.
CJ
I don't think the point is to fail. I think he has to either make it or he died.
Ben
Exactly what that was like, purposely fail. I was like, no, he couldn't even.
CJ
Get someone with a camera moving. He had to set that up on a tripod. Like, same here.
Mike
He has a bunch of those just jumping over.
CJ
That guy's built.
Ben
Yeah, he's built different.
Ken
Let me see the. The yellow car. One the only.
CJ
The sad thing, he's only getting 55k likes on these things, bro.
Ben
That was close, dude.
Mike
The other wild thing about him, unless he's hurt, he's pretty consistent on putting a content out.
Ben
Yeah, this is when he broke his back.
Ken
Yep, yep, yep.
CJ
Yeah, he goes to just flat.
Ben
Oh, like, that is.
Ken
How would that have gone better?
CJ
Yeah, no, it's broken.
Ben
I mean, hopefully making it, but still, it's.
CJ
He did make it kind of.
Mike
Watch the ice one.
CJ
I know what you're saying, Ben, as there's no easy landing to en as far as like, like, like that. You're just like that. You're still.
Ken
You're still just head on collide.
Mike
That's a good example.
CJ
And what do you find to drive the other car.
Mike
I know.
Ben
And I love how the bracing was just a two by six strapped to the roof.
CJ
Those old Russian cars that just.
Ben
This one's crazy too.
CJ
From the 60s.
Mike
Oh my gosh.
CJ
We got 333, 000 views.
Ken
Like what?
Evan
This literally looks like he's trying to kill himself and fail.
CJ
He doesn't have that many videos because I'm sure they all get taken down.
Mike
Yeah, that's a lot of these.
Ken
That is what it looks like failing. That's the best way to put it.
CJ
He's just to go back to Mike's jump. Like, Big Wrench spent like two, three days building this contraption out in the hot heat.
Mike
I mean probably another two or three days kind of engineering sourcing. Engineering the.
CJ
The stuff, you know. Obviously we had told him like, this is what we wanted to. To be. So he spends all this time like making it and then imagine like you go and do that and you crash and all of us just turn and look at Big Wrench.
Ken
Like, what the heck?
CJ
Why'd you build that?
Mike
Can you imagine? Yeah, I was saying, like, if I got out, I'm big.
CJ
What the heck?
Mike
Well, there's really only person to blame, obviously. Big Wrench.
Ken
We all just like ignore them for the next couple days. What the heck?
CJ
Big Wrench. Why'd you build that?
Mike
He's like. He walks over. Do you want me to start on? No, no, take a break. We don't want to repeat it. Last time. I'm just putting the running boards on the ram. I'm really glad. I'm okay. That was. That was wild. Just like I do honestly, every video cracking up reading the comments. But people were pretty hard on me still for what happened.
Ken
What do you mean, dude, Our comments.
Mike
No, it was like I never ever take them to heart. I mean, you maybe for like a second.
Ken
What really say?
Mike
Well, you know the one that was like watching Mike do shit is like.
Ken
Oh, setting for a fact.
Mike
It's like settling for a heavy.
Ken
Yeah.
Ben
Damn, dude. He was.
Mike
But that one like made me laugh. That was funny. But then, yeah, like a few other people are like, just bummed that like Evan wasn't doing it. And then I just wanted to comment so bad. I'm like, honestly, the dude does everything, but he doesn't do side by sides. I love for him too, a reason for it.
Ken
Well, he is the smartest.
Ben
He is the smartest.
Ken
Talk about that.
Mike
Yeah.
Ken
What is. What is up with that?
Ben
I Don't know. I.
Ken
There's gotta be something wrong with that.
Ben
Are we sure the test isn't backwards?
CJ
I'm wondering. Oh, I know it's not backwards, but I'm wondering if it's. Ryan.
Ken
Yeah, Ryan. We know it's not back hater to, like.
CJ
I don't freaking know, man.
Ken
We took an IQ test on the last podcast, and at the end of it, we stayed to the end was us finding out that Evan scored the highest.
Ben
He was convinced that it was a prank and it was not true that he scored the highest.
CJ
So just if you missed it, the rankings as far as Highest to lowest IQ amongst the boys was Evan at 112, Mike at 110. Ben and I tied at 102. Big wrench had a 107.
Ben
Yep.
CJ
Ken at 100 and Ryan at a 97.
Ben
I can't remember the term, and this is probably because I'm freaking stupid.
CJ
But it.
Ben
It's like, you know what people say about you? You become. You know, it's.
CJ
That's true. Yeah. Now that you, like, you feel like you've been deemed like, he is less stupid.
Mike
Yeah. You were going to say, like, now.
CJ
He'S just listening to anyone.
Mike
I thought you're going to say all, like. All these years of us calling you stupid, like, is obviously why.
Ken
No, clearly we were just right like that.
CJ
All those years of us telling you were stupid.
Ben
Called me a lot of things, but I was never the stupid one.
CJ
No, we did say you were a dummy, dummies.
Evan
That's true.
Ben
I did.
CJ
That's not nearly as harsh as. Yeah, you're stupid.
Ken
Downright stupid. I'm sorry about him.
Mike
He's just stupid.
Ben
My buddy Brad took it and got a 130.
CJ
What?
Mike
Yeah.
Ken
Is that a genius level?
Mike
Yeah, I think above 130 is.
Evan
I still don't understand how looking at pictures and deciding can judge your IQ from that.
CJ
All right. Okay. And that's why you're at 100.
Mike
Nothing to say on that one.
CJ
You know, you can't really expect you to understand that.
Ken
My girlfriend's brother was telling me about it's called the Mensa Society, where if you score in, like, the 99 percentile, society reaches out to you.
Ben
What do you do?
Ken
Like, smart people.
Ben
But I was like, drink the blood of children and stuff like that. It seems like a cult.
Ken
Yeah, it seems very culty. Yeah. It seems like the social elite. Can you imagine that fucking club hanging out with those assholes?
Ben
No.
CJ
Everyone trying to say the smart one.
Ken
Wrong thing.
Ben
Can you imagine how they treat me. They would treat me like a monkey.
Ken
I actually don't know if you could even have a conversation with them. Right.
Mike
It would just be like a grown up. It'd be like a grown up version of like, I used to be in this like math magicians. And then you just go to other schools in their gyms and like, do contests. Oh, you were magician when I was way younger. Because I'm not, I'm way not math oriented now or like when we, you know, go to state for your like, geography project or whatever. You're just surrounded by like a bunch of other people.
CJ
When was this? When was 8 for a geography high school.
Ken
And I say, no, no, no.
CJ
In junior high you were the part of the math magicians.
Ken
Not even mathletes.
CJ
Are you saying like, so you were in elementary school.
Ken
You're part of the math second smartest.
Mike
Well, that could be a.
Ken
Pulling numbers out of a hat, dude.
Mike
Yeah, we did a, we did solve any problem, even if it's unsolvable. We did like a, a project. Like, you know, a trifold cardboard thing. That's all it was. So, you know, it was like fifth grade on Pearl harbor and we went to state.
Ken
What'd you figure out, like, what was so great about your project?
Mike
I don't know. We just, it like, it. The presentation was good, the information was good and they sent us like, you know, to regionals and then to state. Then I'm like, and I, you know, me and my two buddies just like get together because we got to pick partners.
Ken
Yo. You had to have been riding the coattail of one of your buddies.
CJ
Must have been proud.
Mike
No, I'm saying, like, we were all just like none of us were smart.
Ben
And it just turned out everybody else. And I'm like, focus on, we can't.
Mike
Go to Nationals, dude.
Ken
One of, one of your guys. Mom had to have made it, right?
Mike
My mom did help me a lot. Yeah.
Ken
I always laugh at like the hasbulla meme of like walking down the hallway with the project board, going into your mom's room at 10 o', clock saying, can you, can you help me with this project do in the morning.
Ben
Those were the most stressful nights. And I was always like, night of like, mom, it's nine o'. Clock. We got to go to Target and I got to put a project together tonight.
CJ
I remember some people had like super like artistic parents or like whatever. Like it was just so clear that their parent did all the work and. And then you have like the other kid and he's got like a frigging car. Like a shoebox. Yeah. You know, like he like puts some stuff in.
Mike
I mean, especially with like the, the wooden cars or whatever.
Ben
You.
Mike
You have the ones where the kid did it all. You have the ones where the kid did it with his dad and then you had the one with the dad with all the woodworking tools who did all of it.
CJ
Yeah.
Ken
Like a freaking race car master fabricator. It's like big wrenches. Kids, they'd have like a little two stroke motor in the back.
Ben
Back. On the mathletes thing that you went to, I was really good at spelling and I got to like the finals in the spelling bee. And then I purposely tanked it because I didn't want to have to go up on stage and say it in front of people. So you just had to go, I don't know.
Ken
I don't know, man. I felt like you just lying, telling.
CJ
That, oh my God, yeah, I was going to do good, then I purposely bombed it. Is that what you did on the IQ test?
Ben
Yeah. I didn't want to make you guys feel bad.
Ken
You just didn't want the pressure. You knew people would treat you differently. You were.
CJ
I didn't want them to treat me like a genitals.
Ken
They have been, dude, people have been treating you differently.
Ben
Even just around town, you know, people are like, watch out for him. You know, make sure he doesn't like help him.
Ken
Stupid.
Mike
Oh my God. Sad.
Ken
Yeah.
Mike
I don't know.
Ken
I. I've never really had the whole spelling thing. I would confidently say I'm the worst speller. Ken, pop up a word and let's do like a little spelling. B.
Evan
Pneumonia.
CJ
I think I could spell that.
Ken
Okay. All right, let me try. N, U.
Evan
Wrong.
Ben
You're not going to Nationals.
Ken
C.J.
CJ
P. N E, U M, O N I A.
Evan
Correct.
CJ
Nice.
Ken
What?
CJ
I'm at the top tier of 102.
Ken
I always laugh when you're like on the phone and you're giving like a. Some kind of letters and numbers, but over the phone they're like, oh, can you use like a word affiliated with that is with that letter P? You know, pneumonia just always come up.
Ben
With really difficult ones, you know, X like in xylophone, you know which one.
Ken
I always mess up is psychology.
Mike
So you're always missing those silent P's. Yeah. Yeah.
Ben
Well, to prevent us from being exposed about how dumb we are, I will change the subject on us here. And it was funny. You were talking about a cult or a secret society. I Guess the men's society isn't necessarily secret, but. You guys ever heard of the term like drinking the Kool Aid was about the cult where all the people drank the Kool Aid and I didn't know.
Mike
That was actually from.
Ben
Yeah, from that.
Mike
I just thought, oh, they're drinking that Kool Aid, you know, means like they're believe in whatever they're putting out. Yeah, it's from a thing.
Ben
Yeah, it's from the cult leader made people drink the Kool Aid and then they. I don't know what he put in it. Probably freaking antifreeze or something like that. And then they all died. Like a lot of them like 900 or something that it was crazy. But some of the cult survived. The cult had a basketball team and the basketball team was at an away game and they weren't there for the ceremony where they all drank to Kool Aid and died. So they left.
Ken
Oh, what culture? What is this?
Ben
The cult is the Joe Johanians or something like that. Let me pull it up. Sorry.
Ken
Jehovah Witnesses.
Ben
No, that's a different one. Jonestown.
CJ
Take those two.
Evan
Yeah, he poisoned it with cyanide.
Ben
Cyanide? Yeah, they all drink cyanide, but yeah, apparently the Colts basketball team survives because the game was out of town. Jim Jones, did the cult leader just.
Ken
Forget that the basketball team was out or was that part of it?
Ben
I don't know. Maybe.
CJ
Why do you want to kill everyone?
Ben
Yeah, true.
Mike
Because if you're going to do it, you like got to get everyone.
Ben
Yeah, you would get everyone to go.
CJ
One time I remember years ago scrolling on Twitter and I just saw this random tweet by a person I didn't even know. I just said the Seaboys is a cult. Really?
Ken
Kid from DL.
CJ
Yeah. What?
Ben
Really?
CJ
Yeah, we're not a cult.
Ken
And you know what was interesting is it was before we had a YouTube channel. Oh, that just shows that people call.
CJ
Oh no, we had a YouTube channel.
Ken
I remember I was very. I remember I was in high school. So I mean if we did it would have been for like six months.
Ben
Interesting. So why did he say that?
Ken
I don't know. I guess we kind of do have some cult like characteristics.
CJ
Do we though?
Ken
I mean we're a tight knit group.
Ben
All focused on the same mission.
Mike
That's funny. We do it. We don't think that we have like some initiation for our friends, but apparently we more.
Ken
You can't join it unless we let you in.
Ben
Can look up the definition of a cult, please.
Ken
Hold on, hold on.
CJ
Double check. This here.
Ben
If a cult is considered a religious organization, can we become 100% tax deductible?
Ken
That's a good idea.
CJ
Holy. That's very smart.
Ben
It's just Google cult definition.
Evan
I can't type for a second.
Ben
Falling apart at the goddamn scenes over here.
Evan
A great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work.
CJ
Anything could be a cult.
Mike
Yeah.
CJ
At that definition.
Ken
I think it's just if people get offended by getting called the cult. Like, realistically. Realistically, does anyone actually want to be called?
CJ
No. It has a negative connotation for sure.
Ben
So.
Mike
Yeah.
Ben
I mean, if you don't get upset when someone calls you a cult, then.
CJ
You should just call other people cults then. Then maybe they won't look at us.
Ben
You know, like on the other gate. The, like the side by side guys.
CJ
Speaking of the side by side guys. So we're going off to Bristol. We leave tomorrow morning. But by the time that this podcast comes out, we will have already returned. Returned. But Evan's racing in the Cletus McFarland Bristol 1000.
Mike
He's got some pretty good competition too. Really?
Ken
It's pretty much just all racers.
CJ
There's a few other YouTubers, like Demolition Derby Roman Atwood, which would be cool to meet him.
Mike
A lot of the people that Cletus invites for the races are like, repeats. It's kind of crazy. I don't. I mean, I don't have any.
CJ
I can't believe we got invited back, honestly.
Ben
Glad we did.
Mike
I.
Ken
After Ken's performance last time, hit those barrels.
CJ
God damn.
Ken
That was when he pulled off the track three times. Hot.
CJ
His chair. His chair did break.
Ken
It broke. But every single person on that entire racetrack went over 180.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
Other chair broke.
Ken
Dude. Haley and. And Chase are actually kind of. They were actually kind of fired up about that. Well, that is their thing. And they're, like, obviously competitive. And then Ken is just pulling on and off the track.
CJ
He's hitting every barrel.
Evan
One time I had a barrel.
CJ
Barrel exploded that was electric. And then it got stuck under his car and he drug it around for two laps.
Ken
We were in tears.
CJ
We were in tears. I just hope that this race goes. I don't even care about the result, but if it can be half as funny as Ken's, I'm gonna be very happy.
Ken
Oh, dude. You know, Evan's gonna run that crowd.
CJ
Like, is he gonna be spinning people out? Is he gonna be driving like an.
Ben
I don't know. I. I feel like he's just gonna be driving real hard. He's just good at taking an old vehicle and running it hard.
CJ
Yeah. But I feel like part of his driving is, you know, and he's running someone off the road, I think.
Ken
Oh, yeah. He's not gonna be out there. He's not gonna be out there making friends.
CJ
Like, I wouldn't be surprised if someone tries fighting him after the race. Like, he gets out the car, and they, like, who even knows? Like, it'll be really funny if that actually happens, because, like, we're saying this all right now on Friday, September 1st.
Evan
But what if we give Evan a bonus for every car he spins out?
CJ
Jesus. I think that for sure won't be getting let back in. Yeah, that would make a great video. But I. I mean, I don't want him to hurt anyone.
Ben
Yeah. Or mess up Cletus'.
Mike
So we got to. We got to decide how to decorate his car. And I think we should paint it, like, his white or his red Aetney.
CJ
I think that.
Mike
I think we should call. And we should call the car the red at me.
Ken
I don't know, though.
CJ
At the same time, I was thinking about it. Is it kind of noobish to paint your car? Like, I know, like, they. If you want to decorate it, you can. But, like, I just remember we spent, like, I don't know, a couple hours maybe. Maybe a little more doing ours. And then Brian Deegan showed up, like, right before the race, and he just grabs a can of spray paint that we had left over, just writes metal militia on the hood, and hops in and takes first.
Mike
Yeah.
Ken
Yeah. It's Brian.
CJ
I just feel like maybe decorating it sounds, like, a little lame.
Mike
Like, is it Heavy D's car?
Ken
That's true.
CJ
He decorated the.
Ken
And he got taken out last, like, the first three minutes. Those guys might actually have a point.
CJ
I'm just saying is maybe we just go up there, and Evan just writes.
Mike
Like, chef, I think we should just put. It pops so much. Like, there's a bunch of people. There's a bunch of people that watch it on pay per view, and it pops a lot.
CJ
See, boys, tv.com on people watching.
Ken
Is that a red Aetney?
CJ
Yeah.
Ken
The reason why we cracked wearing the.
CJ
Red Aetney joke is because Evan always wears these red etnees, and then he has, like, a red hat that he wears. So it's like the bottom he just capped off on both ends with red.
Mike
And then he drives the Miata.
CJ
He hops in the Miata.
Ben
We should have made a big ha for the top of It.
CJ
Yeah, the Miata looks like he's driving his shoe.
Ken
Well, I've been trying to actually get one of those Napa hats. Dude. I've been trying to get one of those forever. If anybody out there knows or has one or can find one, big play, big play. Hit us up, because I've been in.
Ben
The trucks outside of Napa. Dude. No.
Ken
They stopped doing that.
Mike
Yeah.
Ken
So they're like.
Mike
The old ones were, like, legit.
Ben
Yeah.
Mike
Fiberglass in. Oh, wow. Or some maybe.
Ken
I don't know.
Mike
Very cool. It could be magnets, but I feel like they get stolen if they were magnets.
Ken
Yeah, that's probably true. I wanted to do it for the Ranger, but we're gonna do another Ranger video, putting a new motor in it and. And get a freaking.
Ben
Get it by that.
Ken
I just think it'd be so funny for the Dually Ranger to have a red hat or. Or just like some Seabois type hat on the top flat brim. I think that'd be dope. But you might actually have a point to that, cj. But the more you decorate the car.
CJ
The worse you do.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
And I just remember, just. He just walked in. Like we were, like, decorating this thing. Like, it was like a Brian.
Mike
That's all. I don't think there's any truth that Evan's gonna drive the car. I was gonna drive it. Like, we don't have any control.
CJ
No.
Ben
I don't know.
CJ
I mean, I'm just saying.
Ken
CJ's not superstitious, but he's a little suspicious.
Ben
I always. Yeah, I don't want to say what I was just thinking out loud.
Ken
Hey, Ryan.
Ben
That's good.
Ken
I know that's hard for you sometimes.
CJ
You might be getting smarter. No, say it to a point.
Ben
No, I don't want to. I changed my mind. I do have a little game for us to play. Speaking of flying.
Mike
Love games.
Ben
So we all know that Ken will be sitting first class eating filet mignon on whatever shitty airline we're taking there. But we will all be stuck in the back like the poor commoners we are.
Ken
Well, I don't know about you guys, but me and CJ will be for sure.
Ben
For sure. So with that, who you sit next to on a plane is a big deal. You know, you. You could have a good person or a bad person. So we're going to do a blind ranking test. I'm going to give you five options, and you have to put them one through five of where you. Who you'd most rather sit By. But the thing is, you don't know what's coming, so you might put someone out of one. But there could have been something better. Okay.
Ken
Okay.
Ben
All right, first up, we have an overly influential influencer chick. She's snapping pictures, talking to the camera, just being. Being an influencer. Where you put her one through five.
Ken
When I think of that, I think of, like, an only fans girl that.
Ben
Isn'T good enough to have her own private jet.
Ken
I was going to say. I was going to say, like, goes on podcasts and starts getting, like, inspirational about being an entrepreneur.
Ben
Okay, so yeah, she's on a.
CJ
Sounds like it'd be funny to sit next to.
Ben
Okay, that's one way to look at it.
Ken
I'd probably put her out of three.
CJ
A.
Ben
Three. Okay, you're going right down the bill. Next up, overweight guy or gal.
CJ
How big?
Ben
Like, we're talking spilling out of the seat. Real big. Oh, five. Five?
CJ
Yeah.
Ken
There might be a baby on here somewhere.
CJ
Dude, I think I'm gonna go four.
Ken
I'm gonna go four.
Ben
Okay.
CJ
I'm already squished on those next to a normal person. Like, if there's even a bodybuilder next to me or someone kind of jacked.
Ken
You'Re just like, yeah, no, if it's.
CJ
A bodybuilder, I wouldn't want to sit next to anyone bigger. I didn't want to be discriminatory towards, like, overweight people, but I was just saying in general.
Ben
Third option, empty seat one. That's your one.
Ken
There might be a trick.
Ben
I don't know.
Ken
One. Yeah, I'd say one for sure.
Ben
That's. That's probably pretty true.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
The guy who snuck in shooters from the duty free section.
CJ
Free boost.
Ken
Oh, two.
Ben
See? Could have had him, should have had him. And then number five, guy who takes his shoes off on the plane.
Ken
Oh, five. Okay. My ranking was actually pretty good then.
Ben
Pretty good.
Ken
Yeah.
Ben
Didn't. Didn't you take your shoes off on a plane once?
Mike
Oh, I've done that before.
Ben
You take your shoes off on the plane?
Mike
Yeah, only if I'm super sure that my feet don't smell. If my feet smell, then it's like suicide.
Ken
The only person that above you that shouldn't be taking their shoes off on a plane is Ken. He's got the stinkiest feet of anyone I've ever smelled.
CJ
Ken was the most mad about me right now.
Mike
Dude.
Ken
He tries to.
CJ
Why?
Ben
What is it you're wearing? Gosh dang, $200 Adidas shoes. Why do you need they were $60. They're netting. Why do you need your feet out of them while you're sitting?
Mike
It's just comfortable, Ken.
CJ
We should get you Air Force ones. I can't wear, like, high top Air Force ones.
Evan
Too narrow for me.
Ken
Can you start wearing sandals? You got to let those dogs breathe.
CJ
Like thong sandals, you know, just a little separation.
Evan
On an airplane, it's gross when you take your feet out and it's fine. Like, it's gross.
Ben
It's just. You could leave it.
Evan
But then you start, like, just moving them around, putting them on stuff, and just like, that's nasty.
Ken
What are you putting them on?
Evan
Like, you put them on the seat in front of you. You just start touching stuff.
CJ
I don't know if I did that, did I?
Evan
Yes.
Ken
Oh, okay. I didn't know that somebody in mine was all mad.
CJ
Yeah, I don't think it was sitting next to me.
Ben
That time was big on plane etiquette.
Ken
Remember that? What was that one?
Ben
Dude, it's. Do you guys ever have, like, intrusive thoughts? You know, like, where you just really wanted. I don't even know. Like, you're. You're in a crowd and, you know, you yell. You're like, driving down the interstate. You're like, I wonder what would happen if I hit this approach. That's fast speed, right?
Ken
That's usually mine.
Ben
Or just veered into a telephone pole. You know, weird stuff like that. I was driving the skids tier today, and I was looking at this little trailer house that they moved in on the way between the two shops, and I went, what if I just drove this thing right through those people's house?
CJ
Yeah, I could do it like that. Could.
Ben
Isn't it weird that you're able to do anything you want?
CJ
You don't. You refrain from it?
Ben
Yeah, I mean, I want to. Yeah. How sweet would that be?
Mike
I feel like you're, like, not normal if you don't have at least like, one of those a day. Whether it's just, like, blurting something out or.
Ben
Yeah, just saying something real out of pocket.
Mike
They do it in, like, TV shows all the time, you know, it's like they flash and it. It shows you, like, having a heated conversation, and then you just, like, get up and just punch him in the face. And then it, like, cuts to, what? What are you doing?
Ben
Yeah.
Ken
Yeah, I think about that. I think about that a lot of how much trust you have in other people driving down the road. Yeah, Yeah, I agree.
CJ
That's what I think.
Ben
And everybody's on their Damn phones and drinking.
Mike
But it is interesting that. Yeah. That it's just a universal. You stay in that lane, I stay in this lane. It's such a simple thing, but it's also, like, so incredibly important.
Ben
I think that was one of the weirdest things about growing up is, like, realizing that not everything is meant to, like, protect you from it. Like, you can actually do, you know, like, our door today, I opened it on the cold storage barn and it fell off. And I was like, what the fuck? That they shouldn't have let that happen. There should be a stopper. And I was like, well, I guess should have known not to open it that far. Like, there's so many things in life that you can just do. Isn't that amazing?
CJ
Yeah.
Mike
The door fell off.
Ken
Oh, my gosh. That was.
CJ
You can make anything happen.
Ken
That was so deep.
Ben
I do really want to drive a skid steer through a house, though. I was just looking at. I was like, look at this shiny new trailer that I could just.
CJ
I don't know if the skip.
Ken
I don't think it would work quite that way. I mean, I drove our skidster through Mark's playset. Still on a playset because of that.
Ben
I mean, it'd still be pretty funny. You really tear it up.
Mike
Yeah.
Ken
Unless somebody's sleeping in there.
Ben
I did think about that, and that was the first part of veering back onto the road.
CJ
So if someone wasn't sleeping in there, though, then you're just driving right through their house.
Ken
Yeah.
Ben
If there was no cars in the.
CJ
Driveway, possibly making it in one end, out the other, and then going straight home. And they're never going to know.
Ben
Ideally, yes. No ring doorbells. Catch me.
Ken
It doesn't even have to be intrusive. Like, we can make that. You want that thought a reality? And drive that skid steer through the chicken coop.
Ben
I know, but I don't want to scratch up the skid steer.
Mike
I thought you were going to say, I don't want to scratch up the chicken coop.
Ken
Yeah, it'd probably be fine.
Mike
Yeah, I think it'd be fine if.
Ken
We put something over the front glass.
CJ
I'd say the limo would be better for that.
Ken
What is crazy, though, is how many people you see why I see it. I guess driving around in my truck, I'm a little bit higher than everybody. Most people. And how many people are on their phone?
Ben
Dude, it's so bad.
Ken
Like, everywhere. And you don't just see that stop lights. You see it driving down the road. If you're Driving down the interstate next to him.
Mike
I've been out on a motorcycle. You know, you're. You're also. You're not even looking at your radio. You're. You're really anything, you're just looking, then you really notice it.
CJ
Yeah.
Mike
Which also makes me more scared.
CJ
Yeah.
Mike
Motorcycle.
CJ
But you want to know one time when the intrusive thoughts crept in? When Ryan slapped Greta's ass.
Ben
There wasn't any thoughts in my brain. I just did it accidentally. I thought it was Alondra.
Ken
You know, now that I know Ryan's iq, it does make me feel a lot better because it feels less premeditated, you know?
Ben
Yeah. No, that there wasn't a coherent thought that I could put together. There was no math.
CJ
He was looking at it and he was just like, I want to do it, but I don't want to do the consequences. And he said it, doing that thing.
Ben
It was a long term game. This whole IQ test thing, now you just think less of me. I'm stupid. You're like, oh, it's fine.
Mike
Yeah, no threat.
Ken
Yeah. Yeah. I do actually think about that more than I probably should.
Ben
Really?
CJ
Yeah.
Ken
Just doesn't feel like, you know, as soon as Greta's around and you're around, I'm just. I'm just on guard now. I'm like, what's going to happen? This. This happens when I'm in the room, Right.
CJ
What happens if you go to, like, the bathroom or something?
Ben
I don't know, man. Sorry. You can trust me, bro.
CJ
That's what they all say. Yeah.
Mike
Okay. So, Ken, what is it with you and, like, just budging into the bathroom even when the door is closed?
Evan
Well, you don't always know if somebody's in there.
CJ
What?
Mike
That's okay. That's what I'm wondering.
Evan
Because sometimes people leave the door shut.
CJ
And you're like, yes.
Evan
And there's nobody in there.
Ken
Yes.
Evan
That's why you just lock or not.
CJ
I do not.
Evan
And sometimes nobody answers.
Ben
How long do you give are you.
CJ
Doing in there, Mike? Where you don't hear him knock?
Mike
He doesn't knock for me. I'm not going to exaggerate it. This has happened three times to me where I'm just like. And actually two other times where I was just shitting with the door open that I get. You walk up on me and go, oh, I'm like, I sorry, I didn't think anyone was here. But then the other three times, even.
Ken
If that's so strange, I feel that's.
Ben
Too much for me.
Mike
No, I.
Ken
With the door open, I can't stop.
CJ
With how many people come through here.
Mike
But then the other three, he, like, just, like, walks in. It's just like a swift walk up, grab the door. Oh, you look so surprised. And then I'm like, what? Why did you swiftly walk in like that?
CJ
How far?
Evan
Why don't you lock the door?
CJ
Like, is he.
Mike
I guess I just don't. But a lot of us fair.
Ken
I never lost the door.
Mike
It's just when it's closed.
Ken
Yeah, it's our shop. I don't feel like there's just random nerds walking in most of the time.
CJ
Well, there is nerds, though.
Mike
But, yeah, usually when the door is closed, it just means. So, like, again, I'm not saying I've ever heard any knocks. And then we're at the Sugar Sean fight. We got a whole bunch of people there, and Sydney and Angelo into the bathroom. And then Sydney's like, oh, Ken just walked in on us. But, I mean, we were.
Ben
Whoa.
Mike
And I was like, what if the door was closed at a party? There's not no one in there. Like, I just don't know how that happens.
Ben
Ken, what do you have against people's privacy? I don't know. Are you trying to catch a peek?
Evan
There's just got to go. And what are you mostly.
Ken
What are you going to do, Ken, if somebody's sitting on the can, you have to go.
Evan
Some people, like, just don't. They. They go out the bathroom through Evan's room, and then that door is just shut for, like, two hours.
Mike
It doesn't happen.
Evan
That does.
CJ
Just sitting out there for two hours waiting for someone to come out.
Ken
Can we talk about why we got, like, quite possibly the worst toilet paper of all time?
Ben
Yeah, what our budget is. The budget?
CJ
Well, we've been spending a lot of money on rails.
Evan
Who ordered that stuff's trash?
Mike
No, no one ordered it. We ran out of toilet paper. So I go to the C store, the only store that sells toilet paper around here.
Ken
Dollar General.
Mike
Yeah, I know. I didn't go that far. It's too far for me. Then I grabbed toilet paper, wildly expensive, bring it home, and I go, well, this is absolutely the most money I've ever spent on the shittiest toilet paper I've ever bought.
Ben
So bad I can't even blow my nose in it.
Mike
Yeah, you got to quadruple that ish up.
Ken
It's almost a hazard to use.
CJ
See your hand through it when you're holding it.
Mike
No, that's worse than you see Your hand through it.
Ken
Worse than school toilet paper.
Mike
You know, the school toilet paper was pretty bad. Comes in those giant rolls. It was worse than that. And then I'm like, yeah, just very regrettable. It's a mistake I'll only make once.
Ken
Dude, I went such a long time without, like, taking a public dump.
Ben
Man, I'm proud of you.
CJ
I used to have, like, a fear of that, too.
Mike
Yeah.
Ken
I mean, like, when you're younger and you're not, like, out and about as much as we are now, like, you're just going to school and.
CJ
Yeah. You just never do.
Ken
It's just like. Well, it's just you to work it into your routine.
Mike
You just didn't do it or you. Man, I mean, I'll tell you one thing. Your life is 100% a lot easier if you do take public.
CJ
Well, you eventually have to.
Mike
Yeah, but I mean, that's what I'm saying. If you have, like, little to no issue with it, your life is way easier. It might not be as.
CJ
I think a fear of pooping in public bathrooms is, like, a pretty normal thing.
Ben
Yeah.
Mike
I'm just saying, I think your life is easier if you can get over.
CJ
That fear or if you can't get over it. You still probably have a pretty easy life because that means you're constantly getting to chill at home. Just like, sorry, I want to go out.
Ken
I haven't dumped it.
Mike
I can't risk it.
Ben
Gotta plan my day. I was watching TikTok today, and I honestly think that monster truck drivers are the most insane people on the planet. Like, when you watch what they are doing in these giant things, you almost kind of forget. It's like the razor, you know, you forget that there's a human in there that, you know, you think you hit some rails and it's lame because you can't see them. And they're not riding a dirt bike. But what these guys do on these monster trucks is fucking nuts. Ken, I'm going to airdrop you this photo.
CJ
I agree. I feel like when they flip and land on their roof and shit, and then they bounce and they go back, like, that's probably equally as much for us as what you deal with. They're strapped in a lot better, but still, like, it's got to be so jarring.
Ben
Yeah. They're still landing to their cage even.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
When you land on the tires, the bounce has got to be like.
Mike
That's why I was so fascinated once. I finally, like, saw a video of what it's like inside one. Like, Their heads, you know, within their helmet, they can't move one inch. Which I didn't know what this was either before the razor thing, but like a Hans device, I guess. It's like brace that also connects, like, to your harness.
Ben
Oh.
Ken
To stop from, like, doing what I did in the mini truck.
Ben
Whip in, move like this far.
Ken
Super whiplash. As a man who's driven a monster truck.
Ben
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Ken
For the ebay motor shoot. Terrifying.
Mike
You can't see.
Ken
You can't see at all. It's like, picture just being in a normal truck, but you're 10ft in the air and you have no idea where the tires are or how far out they are or what's in front of you or behind you because you can't move your head. Like, you are, like, in position. So if it does flip, you don't break your neck or get a super bad concussion. But with that, you can't see any. You can't see at all. That's what makes it's the wildest thing.
Ben
Ever even more crazy because you watch.
Mike
These guys and they somehow have finesse.
Ken
Like, that is insane.
Ben
He blew the front wheels off of it. Like.
CJ
Like, I don't know what. The suspension looks stiff. It just bounces.
Ben
I mean, I think it's like.
CJ
That's gotta hurt.
Ben
Yeah. There's no suspension on the back cage. And I think you forget because I have chills watching this. I think you forget because they're a bigger machine, but I mean. Yeah, that's like 50ft in the air.
Ken
I think that is insane, dude. I think that a lot of people think that this is like, what it would be like to sit in our field watching us film.
Ben
It's just some monster jam, dude. I wish we had one of these. Think big wrench can whip one of these up by next week, I'm sure.
CJ
Dude, these things are just toast after each event. It looks like.
Mike
Yeah, literally started on fire in the.
Ben
Air, but yeah, they're rolling these things and then they just keep going.
CJ
Right now he's just pedaling it out.
Ben
What?
CJ
I just don't think the drivers are getting enough credit, you know?
Ben
I agree.
CJ
Like, the driver, you got to be built a certain way to be able to just take those impacts for one, but then also have the balls to go in and just send it like that.
Ben
And then the knowledge to know, like, when you. When they're doing the nose wheelie, they're shifting from reverse to first Clutching. Yeah, clutching it like, it's intense.
CJ
I see you Being a monster truck driver. Ryan. Really like, the fact you said this gives me chills. Watching. It's like, Ryan.
Ken
You know, Ryan Anderson is gonna be at Bristol.
Ben
Really?
Ken
Yeah. Racing in the Cletus race.
Ben
Let me shake your hand. I want to shake your hand. Grave diggers.
CJ
The most famous monster truck.
Ben
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah.
CJ
What did they do that made them so famous?
Ben
Marketing, man.
Ken
Dude, I just.
Mike
Check this out.
Ben
Look at that C Boy CD ripoff logo on it.
Ken
The VP Racing fuels.
Ben
What?
CJ
Like, dude, I like that he's got the Cadillac Odds body.
Ken
Oh, yeah.
Ben
And then he's just like, it. It shows over. He's already won. And then he's like, let me just quick total this thing out.
Ken
Yeah. That is insane.
CJ
Look at how packed. Dude.
Ben
People love Monster Jam. There's nothing more American full house dude than Monster Jam. Does Monster Jam even go to Canada?
Ken
How do they have, like, arena awareness.
Ben
To know where they are?
CJ
You could just jump right into the stands and kill, like, 30 people.
Ken
Yeah, because those arenas aren't that big. Like, they're doing it on a football.
CJ
Field or if, like, a tire came loose.
Ken
Yeah, but think about that, dude.
Ben
Yeah, that's not. They block off the, like, lower 10 rows, but you'd be, like, up in those 10 rows in, like, two seconds.
Ken
Yeah, look. Look that up, Ken. See if there's ever been a monster truck that launches into the stand.
CJ
Sure. There's got to be. There's gotta be.
Ken
You have to sign a waiver. I've actually never been to Monster Jam.
Ben
No, man. They just walk in and hand you a beer.
CJ
Yeah. General it's like, seven ticket.
Evan
You're agreeing to any liability.
Ken
Heavy D used to do that, but I'd imagine it was so taxing on your body. He was probably like, I could go into recovery videos, get more views and not damage my body every single time that I hop in the seat.
Evan
I remember there's a kid in 2009 that died when a part flew off of one.
Ken
Oh, really?
Ben
So it's gone.
CJ
I'd imagine that's one of those sports that's actually evolving because technology is getting better. Whereas, like most sports, it almost seems like they are starting to taper off.
Ben
Like, yeah, how's a basket? You're not gonna get any better.
Mike
How's it gonna get any rounder than that?
CJ
You know what I'm saying? Like, they're doing more insane because of technology. Whereas, like.
Ben
Yeah, you're right.
CJ
Like, you look at, like, motocross, obviously they're doing crazy, but I don't Know if it's, like, advancing.
Ken
It was level.
CJ
Yeah, exactly. Like, I remember. Like, I feel like once TP hit the double back.
Ben
Yeah. There can only get so light. Yeah. And so good. I mean, when you're talking about crashes into the stands there, that happened at a NASCAR race, and it was nuts. They have, like, a tall safety fence that protects the crowd, but a bunch of parts and I believe went through the fence. But watch this crash. Look at that.
Mike
Oh, my gosh. Dude.
Ben
Like, what the.
Mike
He literally barrel rolled over.
Ben
And, like, look at all the parts that go flying in the crowd. I think everybody was okay.
Mike
Oh, my God.
CJ
How about the drive?
Ben
Oh, geez, dude. What? I talk about a kick in the nuts there.
Ken
So they're going, what, like, I mean, 200.
Ben
Yeah.
Evan
Just under 170 to 210.
Ben
That's what I mean. Yeah. They're turning left. But if you've ever been to a race, it's so intense, like, it doesn't capture it on tv. You hear the noise. It's like, turn left. But when you're there.
CJ
Oh, and how steep the banks are, which we'll see this weekend. Like, walking up it. Yeah, it's steep, but, I mean, there's multiple. There's been multiple, like, NASCAR deaths over, like.
Ben
Well, Dale Earnhardt is probably the most.
CJ
He's the most notable.
Ben
Yeah.
Ken
What happened?
CJ
Just crashed in the race.
Ben
Really bad crash. And. But, I mean, honestly, just. It was the way he was hit, and now it's someone. Probably a lot of video was like, yeah, a ton safer.
Ken
They've.
Ben
Well, obviously, the cars have gotten better at, like, breaking apart. And then now they added all the walls have, like. Like, cushion in them. So when you hit it, it's not a concrete wall. Like. Yes. Someone commented that they're like, the walls aren't as forgiving as the Freedom Factory. I was like, the Freedom Factory is literally a concrete wall with dirt behind it. Like this Bristol. You could probably drive a Crown Vic into it wide open and be fine just because they're mean.
CJ
Last year at Bristol, gets spun out and go head on into the wall.
Ken
Yeah. What did they start doing since Ken raced?
CJ
I think after Haley's crash, they changed some stuff up.
Ken
Do they have cages in them?
CJ
Like, full cages? I think Ken had cages.
Mike
Yeah.
Ken
Yeah. I've actually never been to a NASCAR race. That's one of those things, too. That would be cool to see.
CJ
When I was a kid, my mom's side of the family always had NASCAR on. They'd be making, like, bets and stuff. On it, I guess.
Mike
Yeah. Some I never really got into, but I'd love to go.
CJ
It's a very long race, you know.
Mike
Yeah.
CJ
How many laps is Cletuses? Thousand.
Mike
I don't know.
CJ
Imagine we should tell Evan it's a thousand laps.
Ben
You get them really stressed out.
CJ
He'd be like, we'll pack a cooler.
Ken
For me in there.
CJ
Multiple vapes still takes first.
Ken
Peak performance.
Mike
Yeah.
CJ
Right here. Watch this.
Ben
So look, you see Kevin kind of squeeze in.
Mike
Oh.
CJ
Like this is bristle.
Mike
Holy crap.
CJ
Dude, it's like she's in first here.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
Spawn out. Oh.
Ben
Holy crap. That was so bad. That looks gotta suck for her, too. Is like, this is exhibition type of. She's racing against professional drivers and professional cars, and then she's got to go out and do this with a bunch of jackasses and Crown Vicks. It is kind of tough. I mean, Cletus has talked about, you know, making it safer and stuff like that, which I think he's doing a good job of, but. God, that's tough.
Mike
I mean, we always hope for a little bit of barrel hitting and bumping and rubbing, but. Yeah, no, never any like that.
CJ
That's.
Mike
Yeah, it's just not. That's not entertaining. That's more like. Yeah, I mean, everyone's okay.
Ben
Admittedly. I'm sure everybody who's watching NASCAR is waiting for a good wreck. Because you're so detached from the people, you know, you forget that it's a human in there and whatnot. Yeah.
CJ
We probably look at it a little bit more different.
Ben
Yeah, exactly.
CJ
You used to watch for the crashes.
Ben
Yeah, for sure. Because I was like 11.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
What you care about, you know, you don't really think about things. You guys ever seen the trophy truck, like stadium truck racing? Dude, that is the coolest version of racing ever. We need to get one of these. It's like our Ranger that we have.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
Except for on steroids and a little.
Mike
They just. I love how they have, like, their tracking and they just have wedges like they're jumping.
Ben
Just junks.
Mike
All asphalt. They just have wedges.
Ben
No landings.
Ken
Oh, look at these dudes. Yo. When I first saw this, I thought that these were RC cars. I was like, no way. This is real.
Mike
They just jump and.
Ben
Because it's sponsored by Traxxas. But look when they turn through these. Not this corner kind of.
Ken
It does there a bunch of people.
Evan
Look at that.
Ben
They got working suspension freaking on three wheels.
CJ
What's up with the penguin at the bottom of this?
Ben
It's it's like a meme.
Ken
That's just how these videos are, bro. If it's not a penguin, it's. It's somebody playing a game. Like the. The line rider game. Yeah.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
I don't get it.
Ken
I don't get it either.
CJ
Our attention. That's short now.
Ben
I think so.
Ken
Yeah.
Ben
I mean, I'm not gonna lie. When I first watched this, I was waiting for the rest of the newt. Newt meme.
Ken
Look at that boot though, dude.
Ben
That's so sick.
Mike
And sometimes they land perfect and other times they land so sketchy. But most of the time I think.
CJ
This is kind of motors these things have in it.
Ben
I don't know, but probably V8.
Mike
Look at that, dude.
CJ
And this is Cletus driving.
Ken
Yeah.
Mike
Is this the video when Cletus spins out?
Ben
No.
Mike
Basically Cletus entered one of these races and it was like his first or second race and then he did really well and was in first. And then on the last wedge he jumps and spins out. Oh. Right before the finish line. Like no joke, 10ft before it. He was gonna win, man.
CJ
That's the definition of racing.
Ben
Yeah, like this is freaking racing. Cletus is such a good driver. I don't know why this is ended so way.
CJ
Oh, so that's what the penguin is supposed to do.
Ben
Yeah, it's supposed to be like a two second meme, not a ten minute dj.
Mike
The level one memer.
Ken
Well, why is every video that you click on have a meme on the bottom?
Mike
I mean it's not everyone, but it is a concerning.
CJ
I think it's for the attention.
Mike
It's like basically they have those like story time tiktoks and then.
Ken
Yeah.
Mike
It's just someone like hopping across a thing on like Minecraft or something.
Ken
Like Tomb.
CJ
Tomb Racer.
Mike
Yeah. And then they're like the meme of. Well, I guess someone's like we're gonna be watching like full feature films at the theater and they're gonna have like.
Ben
Yeah.
Mike
Underneath it because our attention span so f. Which I mean it is. But those videos piss me off.
Ben
This is.
CJ
I agree.
Mike
General consensus for that too.
Ben
But it is like slightly stimulating. Yeah, it works. I gotta admit, I've watched more Family Guy clips with frickin the blade game at the bottom than not.
Ken
Yeah. Mine's always like Joe Rogan clips.
Ben
Yep.
Ken
Where he's sitting up there like spitting wisdom up top. And then you got like the. The truck that's like going down and.
Ben
It'S like things with low gravity and.
Ken
I always find Myself watching it, listening to him, but just waiting truck to miss, like, the landing and then go through. And then they do them with.
Ben
And whenever Theon goes off the rails, then the truck starts crashing.
Ken
We should. For this whole conversation, you should just overlay a clip.
CJ
The retention's, like, 100%.
Ben
I was thinking about doing it on the ads since everybody skips through Subway Surfers.
CJ
Yes.
Mike
You reminded me when you brought up Theo Vaughn. You guys gotta go watch The Hill Brothers 2 on YouTube. In the middle of the video, ph, Axel's dad, like, falls in the. In these, like, thick, like, thorn bushes. Just pop it up.
Ken
Just pop up the video.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
Dad, are you okay?
Mike
So Axel rolls up on pH, tangled in the thorn bushes with the bike on top of him, running. Kind of a panic.
Ben
Watch how chaotic. Axel stops the wheels here. Literally just almost puts his hand in there.
Ken
Pick up my bike, bud.
CJ
Are you okay?
Ben
I'm good.
CJ
Okay. No way, dude.
Mike
All right, ready?
Ken
All right, I'll get you, K. Don't worry.
Ben
So this is like a super giant thorn bush. So that's why he's not moving, dude.
Mike
He's all caught up into it. Oh, it's like the wor. I mean, you could fall in any other bush and it'd be, like, not nearly as bad, but they can hardly pull him out.
CJ
So have a cigar in his mouth.
Ben
Yeah, that's my favorite part, dude. He comes, he's got to save the cigar.
Mike
CJ hasn't seen this yet, has he? Oh, man, you're gonna die, dude.
Ben
Get forward, get forward. You gotta prick her on your neck.
CJ
Get that thing off.
Ben
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You okay?
CJ
Yeah. You know what, dude? You scared the out of me. I couldn't see.
Ben
I know.
CJ
That's why I said go next to me.
Mike
Oh, dude.
Ben
Hey, pull this on my back.
Ken
I'm good, guys.
Ben
You're right.
Ken
He couldn't make it. Phone.
CJ
I'm sorry, dude. I told him to go next to me. Sorry, dad.
Ben
Ph, dude.
CJ
I got that. That guy's a meme.
Ken
He said he's gonna rip up this.
Mike
So he's gonna go try again.
CJ
Oh, my God. He's gonna go back in. I'll be. Look at.
Ken
Just can't make that up.
CJ
Dude.
Ben
I feel bad. Laugh. No, you're done.
Evan
The second time is so much worse.
Ken
He's already shirtless, too. Yeah.
CJ
Are they out?
Ben
What, the.
Ken
Pants?
Ben
Poor guy.
Mike
Dude, the thorns are just grabbing him.
CJ
You guys, I'm getting so pissed.
Ken
I saw a clip of this on Instagram, and it was just Right before he fell into the. The bushes. And I go, what were they doing letting that homeless man ride. Ride the dirt bike?
CJ
It is funny.
Ben
I mean, yeah, it's funny. You've got to feel bad, but.
CJ
Oh, my God.
Ben
That's what I'm saying that that stuff is.
Mike
If.
Ben
If he's that cut up from it, you know, it's bad.
Mike
Yeah.
CJ
Oh, I'm sure it hurt terribly.
Ken
I love that he's wearing those sunglasses too. Like, it's hard to take.
Mike
You can't.
CJ
You almost think that wasn't real. It was like.
Mike
Right. You just can't make that up.
CJ
You can't make that up.
Ben
The funny thing is the oval. Get that man off the bike.
Ken
Well, he watched it.
Ben
No, it was. He was commenting about Joe Biden, but that's a senior citizen.
Ken
Okay. So this video is 7:30. I wonder how long this. This clip of him is.
CJ
Like, there's not even a trim or nothing.
Ken
It's always. Yeah. They're out here, like, doing, like, the gnarliest on their bikes.
Mike
That's why this video going in the.
CJ
Bush was the best part.
Mike
It's a beautiful thing. Yeah. I mean, I'm glad they added all this just raw. But you gotta go watch it.
Ben
It's so fun.
CJ
What else happens after this? Keep playing it. We can cut it, but I just gotta see this.
Mike
Yeah.
Ben
What the. Oh, poor guy. Dude.
CJ
I. I actually really enjoy watching the dirt shark videos of just.
Ben
Yeah.
Mike
I mean, they're really, really, really high quality.
CJ
I just love the creativeness, too, of, like, the tr. You know, it's like the definition of free riding most time.
Ben
Yeah, exactly. I think they're probably some of the best moto.
Mike
Yeah.
Ben
Footage out there. Like, I don't really know who's making edits like that.
Ken
It's cool because, yeah, granted, he does do some, like, gnarly. But it's more. It's more creative in the lines that they, like, put into it. Kind of just shows, you know, it's not about, like, doing triple backflips.
CJ
Yeah. It's, like, not less serious almost. It's just fun.
Ken
That's almost like where everything is coming to. Like, you can only get so much gnarlier. Exactly. And doing, like, crazy shit where you, you know, you got to put a little bit more, like, creativity into it. I remember when we were talking with Greg Godfrey, he started Nitro Circus and. And just asking him, like, how do you. It had to have gotten to a point where, like, every single thing you guys did was, like, getting so Much gnarlier and gnarlier. And he was like, yeah. That's when we like more. More creative filming where like the intro of one of the movies is like every single thing going over jumps all at once. And it's like a helicopter coming through filming it.
Ben
I mean, that's kind of where it's got to go. You either get gnarlier, which we know how that goes, apparently not very well, or you try to get more creative. So it's all about finding a little balance between it.
Mike
You know, I just saw like a clip of. They had like a VX1000, which is like the skate go to skate camera. They had it fly in on a drone. So the guy skates up, it flies in on a drone, the guy grabs it and finishes the clip.
Ken
Stuff like that.
Mike
You know, people are always pushing the boundaries for what an edit can be.
Ben
I feel like skate's always at the forefront of that. Like that's where all of the good ideas for snowboarding and moto and stuff like that. I feel like it all stems from the way that skate is filmed.
CJ
Dude, it's crazy.
Ken
Some of those FPV drones.
Mike
Oh man.
Ken
I know like how legit those.
Mike
I think those.
Ken
You should get one of those. Yeah.
CJ
Who's gonna fly it? We can't fly the normal.
Ben
Normal.
CJ
Every time it crashes, I can fly it.
Ben
Yeah, well, every time Ken flies it, it crashes.
CJ
Yep, it's in the trees.
Evan
Ben crashed it once pretty bad.
CJ
Everyone's crashed.
Mike
Yeah.
Ken
Yeah. We've gone through so many drones.
Mike
That's why I was.
CJ
That's harder to fly.
Mike
I don't know. But like, you know how DJI has like the. They have their fpv, their consumer fpv and then they have. Oh, do they handle. So yeah, that appeals to me. But then I'm like, well, is it Cheeto? Cuz anyone who was good is like building their own. But then they have this like handle that's like a wee stick that you legit fly with. You put the goggles on and then you just like tilt your hand forward and back and I'm like, is that. Would that benefit us or is that true? Yeah. Is that just kind of a gimmick? And one thing that's always discouraging is when people are like, oh yeah, definitely get a simulator and spend some time in that. Which there's nothing wrong with that, but it's like, that sounds so boring, but it's going to save you a lot of money.
Ben
Money crash.
Mike
It's the same for like, although We've talked about this. We really would like to get, like, a drift race car simulator. But even that, they're like, yeah, spend 60 hours in the simulator, and you'll be way better at drifting.
Ben
Oh, that shit's expensive.
Mike
Yeah. I mean, you're looking at, like.
Ben
But we have access to a track and stuff like that.
Ken
Yeah.
Ben
At least a county highway, you know.
Mike
But I think that that is what's cool, is, like, you can download, like, most. Even, I'm pretty sure sandbag, you can download, like, that track layout, really into a certain game.
Ben
Oh, wow.
Mike
Have practice. That's appealing.
Ken
It's like golf courses. Yeah.
Ben
Yeah, I know. I put a feeler out in one of the Facebook groups, and everyone was like, yeah, I got a sick one. It's $72,000, like, moves and stuff. I was like, oh, we don't.
Ken
Yeah.
Mike
Holy.
Ben
We got to take some zeros out of that, brother.
CJ
You.
Ken
You kind of mentioned it with the FPV flyers. Like, the hardcore guys wouldn't think that, like, an FPV that you could just buy and. And start flying with, like, isn't cool.
Mike
Yeah.
Ben
And.
Ken
But me and cj, we' conversation the other day about just, like, certain groups that are, like, the purists, like, the hardcore guys being, like, anti. Other people or, like, any kind of innovation and things like that and not being a part of, like, those groups you, like, look in and you're just like, why.
CJ
Why do you.
Ken
Why does it matter so much to you? It's just.
Mike
What are you guys talking about again?
CJ
If anything?
Ken
Skateboarding is what we were, like, originally talking about, and that's how it came up of, like, the guys that got TV shows.
Mike
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Ken
Kind of revolving around skateboarding, like, Ryan Sheckler and. And Bam Margera and like, people like that that, like, made, like, I guess, money from. From skateboarding. And then, like, the purist, like, hated them for it. Yeah.
Mike
Because they were making community.
CJ
Didn't, like, because they were going mainstream. They don't, like, like, mainstream. Kind of like how Evan hates, like, mainstream. Like, like, he thought Machine Gun Kelly was cool until he went mainstream.
Mike
It is tough.
Ken
I mean, Evan's pretty pure when it comes to, like, the things that he likes. He hates when people come in and, like, try and evolve it or, like, change.
CJ
Yeah, he's hardcore.
Ken
Yeah, he's part of that hardcore.
Mike
Everyone has, like, whatever it is, like, some part about them that, like, wants some brand or musician or someone to, like, stay a certain way. I mean, it's it's tough when, like, your favorite music artist goes mainstream, or at least when you think they do.
Ken
I guess I just don't know if I, like, really care that much about something in particular that I would, like, actually get upset about.
Ben
Yeah, I'm trying to think of something.
Mike
No, I mean, yeah, not get upset. I just remember, like, I was a huge Logic fan when he was, like, dropping mixtapes. Oh, bro. He went full mainstream. I still think he's very talented, but he's like, yeah, he doesn't make the same music he does anymore. Skizzy Mars, he never went mainstream, so he still makes just.
Ken
He never really. I wish he would have.
Mike
Right.
Ken
He doesn't even make music.
Mike
No, he did just drop a song last Friday. Yeah, check that out.
Ben
That's what I mean. I feel. I'm like, damn, he's so talented. I wish that more people listen to him and he'd won. Mainstream, mainstream.
CJ
How the hell did that guy not become a bigger thing?
Mike
I don't know.
CJ
He was huge.
Ben
Him, Mike Stud.
Mike
Yeah.
Ben
Like, Easy, Easy Jeezy went mainstream. Like, it was literally Skizzy and G Eazy, and then they were, like, going along and then. Dude, he stayed the same.
Mike
GZ went the chokehold the G Eazy had on us for a little bit there with his, like, first album.
Ben
It was nuts, dude.
Mike
Like. And then he just, like, yeah, went mainstream and then just.
Ken
What's he up to now? Does he still make music?
Mike
I think he features on a few here and there. And I think he's still, like, just as talented as he ever was, but he's just not.
Ken
I feel like guys like that, you always just hear about them getting into, like, drug problems and things like that. Like, I think that's what happened to Jeezy and that's what happened to Skizzy Mars, I guess. I don't know about.
Ben
I don't know about a lot of mental health stuff that he had to deal with, and that's why he took a lot of years off. I don't know about Jeezy. I don't know if he got into drugs.
Ken
What I shouldn't say, what did Jeezy get into?
Ben
Did G Easy get addicted to drugs?
Mike
Yeah, I think he's always done drugs.
Ken
I'm awesome, kind of.
Evan
I got convicted of assault and drug possession in Sweden.
Ben
What kind of drug possession, though?
Evan
Like, he's got a little pot, 1.5 grams of Coke.
Mike
See, he's talked about that in songs. I was like, I feel like he's always done cocaine.
Ken
I feel like anyone that goes to Sweden gets in trouble for drugs though.
Ben
Yeah, it's one of those mess around there.
Mike
Well, I mean, yeah, it ain't gonna be us. We're not gonna sell out nor start doing hard drugs.
Ken
I don't even know what that looks like. We just sell our shops and move to la.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
What does sellout look like?
Mike
No, I mean it can look like a lot of things, but. Yeah, what, what our big sellout looks like? Yeah, I don't know, like our content would have to change so drastically.
CJ
Maybe we start slanging some like shitty NFTs.
Mike
Right. And then our content is just like, like takes a hard left into. I mean in order to be a.
CJ
Sellout you have to like be bigger than. Than you are. You were, but then also like and more successful. But you're now not doing what you were like cool for.
Mike
Right?
CJ
Yeah, you know, initially got cool for, I think.
Ben
And there is a difference between selling out and evolving.
Mike
Yes, absolutely. And they can be meshed together as well.
Ken
Our version of sellout would be just making shitty TV shows or like, like network coming in and like buying us and then we make shitty stuff. I think that that would be like we all get like a big way.
Mike
More money, but we're just making like.
CJ
A TV show and then it all dies.
Ken
Yeah, that and you got quite a bit, I think. Well, I guess I don't know about going to YouTube, but I mean you would see, you know, people that would be like popping off and then they come in and make a shitty show or something like that and then next thing you know, they suck.
Ben
Stay true to yourself.
Mike
Well, it's great to be a part of another one. Thank you guys for listening. Subscribe if you haven't and we'll catch you next week.
