I love you, Ken.

[C]

I'm sorry about that.

[D]

I did not expect.

[A]

Wow, what a moment. I'll drop in on a skateboard and I want to learn how to kick.

[E]

Flip on your New Year's resolutions. Can't be about skating.

[D]

When you almost ran into Ben's Lambo.

[B]

Today, that was pure ice, bro.

[A]

All right, Mike. All right, all right. Oh, let's switch up.

[E]

Come on in here, Kenny.

[A]

Oh, you gifts. Wow.

[C]

I went on the hunt for eggnog. I found Coors Light. There's no eggnog in town. It's all sold out, so.

[D]

That box looks heavy. Let's lighten it up a little.

[B]

That actually makes sense. So the C store had eggnog, but it was sold out?

[C]

No, they actually never had it.

[D]

Oh, really?

[A]

Thank you, Kenny.

[E]

I mean, it's Christmas.

[A]

He has been pretty good about it, though.

[E]

You have?

[A]

Yeah, he wants to be very inclusive.

[D]

Well, I offend enough. People with my farts are on you today, Ben, not me. I'm not gonna talk about my farts today.

[A]

Okay. Yeah, I'll take that.

[B]

Have they been bad today?

[A]

No, mine haven't been bad today, but.

[B]

He'S shameless when they do come.

[C]

The last two days, Ben, has been awful.

[E]

You're gonna get a bag of coal for Christmas, bud.

[B]

You know, that's what's cool though. Atrocious when we have seaboys meetings and life out open gear meetings and merch meetings and this and that Ben or anyone is allowed to fart as much as they want. You know, think if you did that in a corporate.

[A]

Talk about an employee benefit.

[B]

Right there, you did that, people would like, maybe laugh, and then they do it two times, and then they'd be like, you know, Gerald, we can't have.

[E]

You farting, ripping ass in a meeting.

[B]

It'd be awkward and that's it.

[A]

But I don't, I think you're forgetting that literally, you guys kicked me out of the room multiple times, but I'm not a part.

[B]

I don't care. I don't really care if anyone farts. Be honest.

[E]

We kick you out.

[B]

I really don't. I don't care at all if people fart.

[A]

It just really cool, Mike.

[C]

It just got a little smelly about midway through. We're like, okay, you, you got to do something about this.

[A]

Yeah. So I, I, I've been trying to bulk up, so I've been drinking more protein and, oh, it's been going to war with my tummy.

[B]

Oh, man.

[E]

And so is, is just no one going to mention my decorating.

[A]

The hard work I put in, it's really good, Ryan. Nice.

[E]

I put tablecloths over the table in the front. I hung wreaths and garland. I wrapped our dice over there. I'm pretty proud of this, boys. It's feeling very festive.

[B]

Honestly, I'm just going to apologize right now that we didn't say anything. Yeah, it does look really nice in here, Mike.

[E]

Thank you.

[B]

It's really good. And yeah, this is our Christmas episode. And guess what? I also have to thank Ryan for, for planning it so that it actually comes out on, on the week of Christmas.

[E]

Yeah, dude. Only two days before everybody's on Christmas break.

[B]

Like when we did our Halloween, you know how we were like, screw it, we'll put Halloween costumes on the day of Halloween when the podcast.

[E]

But it came out two weeks later.

[B]

And I'm like, I don't. Who cares?

[A]

But was that Ryan's doing? I think this, it just worked out that way, Mike.

[C]

I think we filmed it on Halloween, didn't we?

[B]

No, I, Yeah, I wasn't blaming that on Ryan.

[A]

No, this is coming out on Christmas because we just.

[B]

No, he.

[E]

Yeah, cuz I planned. And so we're doing the Christmas special this week.

[B]

These decorations.

[A]

Oh, this, this wasn't just by accident.

[E]

No, Ben, your mother worked very hard on all this. It's one of those things you don't notice till you get older.

[A]

Look at that. Look at that spirit. He came Home. And he didn't even. He didn't even thank me.

[D]

Doesn't appear.

[A]

Yeah. Thank you, Ryan. Not only is it a Christmas special, but it's our 200th podcast episode, boys.

[E]

Huge.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Against all odds on that.

[E]

What's the stat that you said in the beginning? Most podcasts don't make it 10.

[A]

2% of podcasts make it past 10 episodes.

[E]

How about that? We're at 200.

[B]

That's insane. That is 200.

[E]

And I think we're up, like, 125 or more thousand subscribers this year. So we've had a great year. Thank you, guys.

[B]

Really awesome, too. I mean, like, people are just, I guess, exponential growth.

[D]

They're.

[B]

They're tuning in. It's amazing.

[A]

Yeah, they're. They're coming back every single week.

[B]

I saw.

[A]

Pretty impressive because we talk about some dumb ass on this podcast. So shout out to the people that just keep tuning back, keep coming in to laugh.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Appreciate you guys. Appreciate you guys.

[B]

I saw a small, small handful of comments. You guys really dropped the ball not getting TP on for 199.

[E]

I know I wanted it and we wanted it.

[B]

You know, it's. He's a popular guy, but shout out to Travis pastrana For our 199th episode. Last episode. It was in a nice house and it was freaking hilarious.

[A]

Hey, Ken.

[C]

Yeah, I didn't think that was going to leak out there, but what. I was hoping to keep that under wraps.

[B]

What leaked out of where?

[C]

The whole, like, me doing whatever.

[E]

Oh, what happened last podcast, So I.

[A]

Wanted to follow up. Actually, Ken, I wasn't planning on hitting you with it right away, but. Did you end up closing the deal?

[C]

No, I. No.

[E]

Did you set up the tv is what he means.

[C]

No, I've not set up the TV yet. I got. I. I was planning on going there tonight.

[D]

Hey, does she have no TV at the moment?

[C]

It's just in a box. But, yeah, she.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

So she hasn't been able to watch.

[C]

TV in a couple weeks in that room.

[E]

She has other TV.

[C]

There's other TVs.

[A]

And is that why you wore your favorite overalls today, Ken? That adds some nice contour to what's going on.

[C]

Fitted.

[A]

Yeah, they're fitted. Is that why.

[C]

No, no, I just threw them on because I knew we were going to be running around outside.

[A]

Well, I was really hoping that you were going to have some details for us.

[C]

No details. Nothing's happened.

[A]

TV set up. Oh, yeah. Went. But I guess we'll have to tune back in on. On the Next podcast and get caught up with Ken about how the TV setup goes.

[B]

I was telling Sidney the story, and then, you know how everyone was like, oh, I bet you're not even going to set it up, Ken. Which if you don't have to hang it on the wall. Setting up a flat screen TV is, like, pretty easy. Legs on, plug it in. That's it.

[C]

Maybe connect it to WI Fi.

[B]

Okay, yeah, that. I would add that. But then think signing into all your apps, that might take a while to pain in the. All the streaming services and YouTube.

[E]

And I feel kind of bad because it's come over the holiday season now, but I. I recently have had to cut both my mom and my sister off of all the streaming platforms. I pay for every streaming platform. Not because I'm trying to flex on you guys right now, but I just.

[A]

There's a.

[E]

There's just a show on every freaking platform. Like, you just. You need to have them all.

[B]

The way I look at it is like the luxury that you want is to. Like, when you want to watch something, you're like, I want to buy it so that I can watch it.

[E]

I want Oreos with milk.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

And I don't care how fat they make me. Clearly this sweatshirt's tight. Okay. They didn't know my size.

[A]

Yeah, Ryan, you definitely haven't been quite as humble ever since this whole quad thing.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

So old Ryan. Old Ryan was just flexed on all the viewers by saying that you pay for every streaming service, but nobody watches more TV episodes than Ryan. Like, this guy has watched every series imaginable.

[C]

You can ask him any show, and he just says, yep, watched it, didn't like it. Or that one's pretty good, but gets pretty boring in the middle.

[A]

Like, you and Alondra have your ear to the ground.

[E]

Oh, yeah, dude. With streaming entertainment, they say TV isn't a bonding experience for a couple, and they're probably right. You know, you probably should do something that, like, grows you together and forces you to talk. But, like, we. We bond over TV and, like, the excitement. Like, she just texted me our last text message. I can't wait to watch our show tonight. That's the last message.

[C]

And what is your current show?

[E]

Dude, Fallout is coming out.

[B]

Wait, when?

[E]

So good.

[B]

The first season of Fallout was really good.

[E]

I like so good.

[C]

Actually, I think it was last weekend. It came out, didn't it? Wasn't it the 12th?

[A]

Check that out, dude. I think that you guys somehow have, like, a time machine for how much time you can spend watching TV when We live, like, the same lives. Like, we have pretty much the same schedule. And Greta and I will watch, like, one TV series, like a quarter.

[E]

What do you do between 9 and.

[A]

11Pm Actually, it's extremely inconvenient to me and Greta's personal time together, but I sauna every single night, and that's, like, an hour ordeal. And then by the time I'm done with that, there's an episode.

[C]

You can get an ep, just put a TV right outside your sauna. You can get an episode in.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

And you can put a little chair next to it so she can sit and watch with you.

[B]

But do you rip YouTube while you're in that sauna? So you rip a sauna every day? Yeah, give or take an hour.

[E]

Really?

[B]

You watch YouTube at least?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Or scroll, whatever.

[A]

But something's going on with my WI Fi and it's really been pissing me off where, like, if I have my phone at the bottom of my sauna, it won't get service now. I don't know, dude. I've actually been getting pretty pissed off. Like, I'll get in there, finally get comfortable, and then it'll start hitting the ring on me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm like, oh, my gosh. Then I'm walking around my basement trying to get a signal for it to load, and. And then as soon as it loads, then I'll, like, try and go back in slowly.

[C]

Go back over there.

[A]

Yeah, slowly over there. I know I got to get that. I got to get that.

[E]

I only sauna for 15 minutes, but it takes me an hour to find the YouTube video.

[A]

How are we living in 2025? Almost 2026, and you don't have service everywhere you go. In, like, five years, everyone's going to just be on a Starlink plan. Like, you're on Verizon plan right now. I foresee Starlink just, like, taking that over, and then anywhere in the world, there's going to be a Starlink satellite over you.

[E]

You're gonna have service be clutch in the mountains.

[C]

It is nice, like, going on trips. I got a little Starlink mini. Throw that in the sunroof, and then you just get perfect WI fi. The whole road trip.

[E]

It is nice.

[A]

Is that where the future is going? Because that makes the most sense. But I think they'll just either collab with Verizon or take over.

[C]

They already have. Like, if there's no cell service, you can send a text message over satellite.

[B]

Right.

[C]

And it's just that you just got to improve that signal.

[E]

Yeah, I think. I think it'll be a collab. They'll still have 5G waves turning the frogs gay and stuff. And then they'll have the satellites.

[D]

I almost forgot about those frogs.

[A]

Yeah, it makes a little bit more sense. Ev, didn't you just get a 5G cell tower put up by your house in your backyard?

[D]

I had a jail put up by next to my house. Really?

[E]

Did you really?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, how much was it?

[D]

The jail?

[B]

Yeah, you said I had a jail put up. I had a swing set put up next to my house. It was 2012.99. Yeah.

[A]

What is it?

[E]

Is the jail what you call your room when Nikki kicks you out?

[B]

Yeah, it's a shed.

[D]

Oh, yeah. No, no, no. Sell no gay frogs in my house.

[E]

But. But the jail. So they. They put a jail up next to your house.

[C]

So when you leave the casino, do you go there before you go home?

[D]

No, I try to avoid it at all costs, but it is concerning. When I'm sitting in my living room and you swipe over on Snapchat, it'll like. Location will be like jail.

[A]

Wow. Do you ever see, like, any runaways?

[D]

Dude? No. It's actually. It's bad. Like, when they get released, they just have to walk and then they just, like, wander, wait to your neighborhood. I don't think anything's bad happened, but they'll just be, like, wandering around waiting for someone to pick them up or whatever.

[C]

It's literally just like, they walk out the front door and they're just like, see ya. Yeah, it's not like, oh, you have a bus ticket or some way to get off the property. Literally just you walk.

[E]

Like when you respawn in gta, you're just walking out of the hospital.

[B]

Got a couple what you came in with? Yeah.

[D]

They usually have a plastic bag and a bushel of paperwork.

[C]

Damn.

[E]

Imagine how crazy it would be. You get out of jail and you walk by a house and it's Evan in the front yard.

[A]

Have you been to that? Yeah, his Lambo's in the. In the driveway. Have you been to that jail before? No, non. Voluntarily.

[D]

The old one or the new one?

[A]

The new one. Next to your house? No, because that would have been convenient. Like, you go to jail and you get let out.

[B]

Do you.

[A]

Are you calling someone to get a ride? No, I'm just walking home.

[B]

But you see, like, I don't. Obviously it's not a prison, so there's no yard or whatever. But you see the fellows out in the yard and you're mowing Sub Jerry, dude.

[D]

I would hate to make him jealous.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Do you guys remember that thing in. In school? You ever have it where, like, during homecoming, you would get sent to the jail? You remember having that? Oh, man, it was just my school. I was so fucking scared of getting sent to the jail.

[A]

What is that?

[E]

It was like a thing. It was like a fundraiser. Like, you nominated someone to go to jail. I don't even know how it works. No one ever picked, but, like, yeah, you would. So then you would go to this jail, and then you would have to, like, pick someone else to go to the jail cell. And it was, like, set up in the hallway in homecoming. Or maybe like a common spectacle.

[A]

Yeah, real jail. I mean, you get sent to real jail.

[E]

No, no, silly. It's. It's just. It's metal bars. It's like a little cage.

[A]

For some reason, I thought that it was a fundraiser of, like, an elementary.

[E]

Schooler off to jail.

[A]

Yeah. If you donate $20, it buys your raffle ticket. And on your raffle ticket, you can write somebody's name. And then at the end of the, you know, homecoming week, there's 500 raffle tickets in here. It raised $10,000 for the school, and one person gets selected to have to go and spend the night in jail.

[E]

No, it was kind of like the thing, you know, where. Where you could buy flowers for people at your school. Did you have that during homecoming?

[A]

Candy, Graham, Was that a candy. Yeah, we did flowers. Laffy Taffies, right?

[D]

Ours was candy cane on a thing.

[A]

Oh, dude, talk about how you could, like, let a chick know you send her a candy gram.

[E]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This was like the reverse. Like, if you wanted to with your buddy, you and your guys pulled together five bucks and sent your buddy to jail. Then he had to, like, do something. You had to, like, high five him.

[B]

And it makes sense. And since they were in school, they could just be like, yeah, that's what you have to do.

[E]

Yeah, that was sick. You got all class, so. Did you ever send a candy gram? You went to high school with your now fiance?

[A]

Yeah, but they don't do candy grams, like, outside of elementary school.

[E]

Oh, really?

[A]

That was at least where I went to school.

[D]

Yeah, we might have had it through middle school, but elementary probably, maybe middle school.

[C]

Mike did. I think we had that at all.

[E]

Holly had a bunch of weird shit going on.

[C]

We had other weird stuff, but you.

[E]

Guys had a bunch of weird shit going on over there.

[B]

I wish I could remember it. I guess Right before I graduated, they hit me with the men in black. Like.

[E]

Oh yeah.

[B]

Don't remember anything.

[A]

I think that might have been the drugs you did right after high school. I think you men in black yourself.

[C]

I don't remember any of that either. Like a joke.

[B]

I didn't fry my brain after high school. Ben.

[C]

No.

[B]

Hit a deer kind of in the Corvette.

[C]

Unfortunate.

[E]

Welcome to the family, brother.

[B]

Yeah, it was one of those where like you see it and if I really locked him up, I don't think I would have been in a pickle at all. But I'm veering to the left and the deer just swipes and smashes the mirror against the window.

[E]

Not just in any car.

[B]

In a 6 Corvette. In your vet the second day I was driving it, dude.

[A]

Congrats on the new whip, Mike.

[B]

Thank you, bro.

[E]

It's so awesome.

[A]

I actually completely approve of this purchase. It's a very money mic purchase. You know, it's a piece of. But it's an awesome whip when it does work. When it does work. And that has been most of the time.

[B]

Most of the time.

[A]

Some of your ownership with it.

[C]

I was very surprised when you said I hit a deer and. And the only thing that was broken was the mirror glass.

[B]

That's all I hit the deer with was my mirror.

[E]

Like I start building tougher and it was already.

[B]

That mirror was already broken so I had to do that. But then I pulled up to the C store the other day and I don't know what happened. The anti theft is freaking out. Wouldn't let me in the car. The doors wouldn't open. Ken may have smashed my window.

[C]

Engine was run. If I wouldn't have smashed that window, you would have still been trying to like fiddle fuck with that thing.

[B]

I don't know how I would have got it open.

[E]

So.

[B]

Yes, yes.

[A]

I'm not going to say like you.

[B]

Did me a favor. You. You smashed my window with a hammer. It's sitting outside with the window down.

[C]

I did you a favor and I saved you two hours of fiddle fucking.

[D]

Cannot put a price on that.

[A]

I knew you're going to say that.

[D]

So it was smart that it was the passenger window. So it's a little warmer when you're driving.

[B]

But I have the other funny thing is I've been driving it with a broken window a little bit because I did eventually get it working and now it's not working again.

[A]

Really?

[C]

It is actually not working.

[D]

I drove it here. You see it and now.

[A]

Shit.

[E]

I noticed that it was on the charger yeah.

[B]

So we got it working. Did some donuts today. I'm like chipper. I'm so stoked.

[E]

Understandably.

[B]

I drove it here, go back to get in it and nothing works. Oh, start nothing.

[A]

So keep this in mind for the listener. Mike's Corvette rear wheel drive Corvette has winter tires on it. And like nobody drives Corvettes in the winter. Mike is, which is why I think it's so sick. Like it's. It's just like he was driving in a full on snowstorm the other day. Like trucks were barely getting down the road and Mike's like busting through drifts in his Corvette. Like that's sick. And so that's why I'm extra proud of you.

[E]

Are you getting looks around town?

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[E]

Like are people stoked?

[B]

For the most part, yeah. I mean no one's mad.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like people like don't. They don't notice it, that it's not like it's a bright red or anything. It's black. But anyone else, not a red corp. Like I had two different instances where people in WRX were like, let's go race.

[E]

Come on bro. You got four wheel drive.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Such a WRX thing to do, right? Those guys are always trying to race.

[B]

But yes, C6 on Blizzax could be the move for sure.

[E]

The move.

[B]

And so now I just got to get it working.

[A]

Yeah, that would help also.

[B]

Only send me a DM if you know something. But I do need help on the C6 Anti Theft System because apparently it's a huge problem with the electronics.

[C]

I think you just need a new key.

[E]

Might have to do something with the salt and the water.

[B]

No, I drove it.

[E]

No, it could.

[C]

You know, most, most Corvettes are never driven in the rain and you're driving in the snow. I think that's your problem in the salt.

[B]

Yeah, it could be. It doesn't. It has the mild angle kit, so it doesn't have fender liners. So maybe even better. I don't know.

[C]

I lost my. When you use your, your wiper fluid and all of it just dumped out.

[B]

Yeah, that was weird too.

[C]

I'm like hilarious.

[B]

It's like.

[D]

What did you say when you were filling it?

[B]

It's probably a giant crack in the tank. But why did it only come out if I turned it on? Like added pressure. Then it all started squirting.

[E]

Because he just put water in it.

[D]

It's got to be. The hose was cracked. I'm sure.

[B]

But. Well, windshield wiper is not expensive. I was going to say No, I put the good stuff in there.

[E]

Well, you did, but the person before. Like, why is it. Why was that tank cracked?

[A]

Oh, I don't know.

[E]

I don't know.

[B]

It's a salvage title car, so spin crashed.

[E]

It's got a title that's a step up from your last one.

[A]

It was.

[B]

It was a huge step up. And I got the winter or the license plate. Winter ride or winter ripper. They don't. They just make you write two down. You know, me had to get it.

[A]

Customized, be a normal plate.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Damn, Mike, just in, like, two months, you went from not owning a Corvette to now owning more Corvettes than anyone else in the crew.

[D]

Well, no, he only owns one.

[B]

Again, I only own one.

[A]

Yeah, but you've owned two.

[B]

Oh, owned.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Is that true?

[E]

I have the. The vet cart.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

So it's a tie.

[E]

Such a tie. Someone's got to break the time.

[B]

Also, you kind of get the win there because you currently own both of them.

[E]

True.

[A]

Honestly, you know, it's more of a Corvette.

[B]

Half the reason that I own the Corvette right now is because of, like, after I posted that and everyone's just like, Gavin hitting it. It just really fired me up. Everyone's like, you need another Corvette. And I listened. I could see myself in another life being a Corvette guy.

[E]

Because you're a Viper guy. You're a Viper guy. You should get a. Go get a cheap Viper and then.

[C]

Rip that 99.99Viper with a ton of miles on it.

[B]

The one thing that makes the C6 drivable in the winter is that it has traction control.

[A]

Yeah. Is it sketchy?

[B]

Not really.

[E]

If you're, like, you're willing to only just be sliding around.

[D]

When you almost ran into Ben's Lambo.

[B]

Today, that was pure ice, bro.

[A]

Yeah. Mike almost. Mike almost rear ended my Lambo.

[D]

Really?

[A]

In the parking lot.

[D]

I have it on video, and it's so classic that you, like, look over at me and just, like, clutch down. The second you realize what's going on, your headed straight out of Lambo.

[B]

It was. Yeah, it was scary. And, like, I think we're all. We all know that it could happen at any moment. So if I was, like, about to hit, I don't know, like, the dually Ranger or the company truck even, like, it doesn't scare me that much. I'm not saying I'm driving around crazy, like, I don't care if I hit anything, but when you're sliding towards the Lambo, it's a different feeling.

[A]

I don't know, dude, it's just been like, so funny. Like, it would have been so funny. Mike gets this Corvette. It breaks in the cormorant store parking lot. We have to pull him back. After Ken smashes the window, he gets it running again, and then he drives it into the back of my Lambo.

[B]

That was the thought process.

[A]

Crazy. It's just hilarious. Obviously, I'm glad that it didn't happen, but I would have. I would have for sure gotten a good laugh out of it if it did.

[E]

And then you would have been pissed.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, it is what it is, dude. I kind of want to get like a WRX or something for the winter.

[D]

Really?

[A]

I don't know. Like, seeing Mike ripping around in.

[B]

Remember when Ryan was. I know we were on a different page, but when Ryan was like, what should I get for a winter beater? I'm like, dude, like a wrx? Everyone looked at me like, I was like.

[E]

Was that on this podcast?

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Speaking of. But speaking of your wrx, what's the status of that thing?

[B]

We. It's getting worked on.

[A]

When is that. When is that gonna be done?

[B]

It's just like, just. They're doing so much. They're taking their time and then they're building one other car from the ground up. And I was like, no, not.

[E]

I was like, oh, damn.

[B]

And then there was a hiatus. And then he told me that the guy that is getting this car built is sick. So they want to finish.

[E]

Finish his.

[B]

I was like, much respect. And it's like an insane C3 Corvette literally from the ground up. Sweet, crazy built motor. So I don't know. Subaru's on halt. We got all kinds of parts. A fresh motor for it, ready to go in.

[E]

Holy.

[A]

Oh, you're.

[B]

You're doing it. Yeah.

[D]

Is it a ripper?

[B]

I don't know.

[D]

I mean, you probably have.

[E]

I paid for ripper motor?

[B]

Yeah. Is it a ripper?

[D]

No.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Is it. Is it fast?

[B]

It hasn't even been in a car, Mike.

[A]

I think you build it.

[D]

Did you build the motor, Mike? Is it a stock motor?

[B]

I built the motor, but. Cool. We don't know what it's going to be at for horsepower until.

[E]

Really not at all.

[B]

I mean, we have a ballparks.

[E]

No, nothing.

[D]

I figured you may. Okay.

[E]

500. That's pretty good. Yeah, it's a good ripper, Ben. You know, you should get something cooler than. Than one of those. Those are cool cars, but you should get something more.

[B]

No, you should get a.

[A]

A C. Scion TC or what are we.

[C]

What about 90s Mazda Miata?

[A]

Yeah, I'm not stuck on that.

[E]

Like, you know, like the. This in the C6 realm.

[A]

Ooh. Hellcat.

[E]

Hellcat could work. Hellcat could work.

[A]

Boat.

[E]

It would be a big boat. You could get the. The Challenger, the Charger version, which would be all wheel drive. They put all wheel drive in there.

[C]

Hellcats. Hellcats are always rear wheeel drive. You can get a Trackhawk. That's a. That's a Hellcat motor.

[A]

Have you ever literally that. That is the exact same car I have right now? Pretty much, yeah.

[E]

Thank you. I owned an SRT once. That was a great car.

[B]

It.

[A]

It was.

[B]

But yeah, that wouldn't really make sense either. So what other.

[A]

I don't know. Something that's a manual. Yeah, something that is inexpensive.

[D]

A Supra.

[A]

Which is relative. I mean you can obviously buy an expensive wrx, but like manual. Ideally four wheel drive.

[E]

Lame.

[B]

If they.

[A]

I was thinking about a Focus rs. Sorry, Mike.

[B]

That'd be cool, but.

[C]

No, yeah, I. I wish I never would have sold mine.

[E]

Why? Because it's worth more money than when you sold it.

[C]

I. I wouldn't have lost money on it.

[E]

Like it's.

[C]

It's worth about what I sold it for. What was that? Probably six years ago now.

[E]

Same. That was same with my srt. Dude, those things just.

[B]

Yeah, they did.

[E]

Level.

[C]

I took that initial hit on the depreciation and now it's just at that level.

[B]

If they make that new hatchback STI that they. Which is similar to the blue hatchback, I will buy one.

[A]

I think that was a concept.

[B]

I know, but that's why I said if they make it.

[A]

And that nothing pisses my God more than when we call him out for getting RC'd or AI.

[B]

Bro, that is. That's not even the same thing. I did the research on it. You just. It's looked at the picture I showed you.

[C]

They literally took a Subaru Crosstrek, put a body kit on it and said, look at our new new car. That's all they did.

[B]

Okay, but there's so many varying levels of concepts.

[D]

Do you think you could buy the concept itself?

[B]

Yeah, I don't think I'd want to.

[A]

Why don't you build it?

[B]

You can't. Like if you built a Ford Raptor. It's not a Ford Raptor.

[D]

What is it then?

[B]

It's whatever you name it. Like Ford makes Ford Raptors. You don't make Ford Raptors.

[A]

Hey, you don't tell him what he does and doesn't do. All right.

[B]

Why not? So anyway, if they make it, I will buy it.

[A]

Yeah, we know that, Mike.

[E]

Somewhere in a boardroom that clip just played.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

And all the businessmen look at each other and go, one guy said he would.

[B]

They're like a dude wipe company. Yeah. And they're like, no, he said that about like a car, I think. Yeah, but we're gonna use that.

[E]

Well, you lost me a little bit there.

[D]

How did dude wipes come?

[B]

I don't know. It's like they're using it at a board meeting. Meeting. And it's. If they make it, I will buy it. They're like, see, this is perfect. Like, this is the type of guy we need and. But like, I'm talking, we need more of him.

[E]

Yeah, I see what you're saying was.

[C]

That a perfect segue into a dude dude wipes out.

[E]

We don't. We don't actually. We aren't sponsored by dude wipes, Ken.

[A]

You can't just. Does your life just revolve around promos, Ken?

[C]

Well, it's. Ryan's life does, and now it's. It's just slowly trickling into everyone else's.

[E]

Doesn't quite revolve around it, but I. I do. You know, last year I surprised everybody with gifts, but with tariffs.

[D]

Is the reason.

[A]

And you cheap bastard.

[E]

Credit card fees. We have foregone the Christmas special gifts this year.

[B]

Oh, I thought you were gonna say. But I did get like the whole group one little thing.

[E]

No, I actually, I was talking to GLD about getting us custom life wide open chains, but they said they couldn't do it in six days notice, so. Well, maybe next year you have something to look forward to.

[C]

And your butt is coming in what part of the sentence? Oh, it's just straight up, no gifts.

[A]

Butts can't come. There it is.

[E]

No, there's no but in this sentence. There is no gifts this year.

[A]

So what do you guys got going on over Christmas?

[B]

Ken, Ken, why don't you start?

[E]

Why don't you start?

[C]

How.

[E]

How is it living with your familia?

[C]

It's great. I can't wait to go. I'm going to Florida after Christmas, so.

[B]

But what about for Christmas?

[C]

We're just going to the sticking at the parents house.

[B]

I think all of us around here have very, like midwestern Caucasian family Christmases. Like, we don't do anything special.

[E]

We just do white Christmases.

[B]

Yeah, we don't do anything.

[A]

Did you need to throw that part in the race?

[E]

You got to pull the race Card on Christmas.

[A]

I'm having white Christmases.

[B]

I feel like a lot of other races celebrate Christmas better than we do.

[C]

What? Does race have to do anything with Christmas?

[B]

I'm sorry for calling white people Christmases bland. I'm sorry.

[D]

Explain to me a more spicy Christmas.

[B]

Let's say like a Mexican.

[E]

Mexican. For sure. It's going to be more spicy. Yeah. It's going to have more spice.

[B]

Yeah. And they're. They're probably like singing songs and we.

[D]

Have Christmas carols coming from the guy.

[B]

That hates Christmas music.

[D]

Oh, so you're saying theirs are better?

[E]

They do have Feliz Navidad.

[B]

Yeah. It's a banger.

[E]

It's a banger.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't know where I was going. I just think whenever you ask any of us what we're doing for Christmas, we always say going to the families and that's like it. Could you elaborate on that? Yeah. We got a tree, gifts, food, Hang out with my family.

[A]

So you're saying other races celebrate Christmas in a more extravagant.

[B]

That's not where I was going with it, but potentially, yeah.

[E]

I've been thinking about this and I do think that Christmas has lost its sparkle. Like in the 90s, early 2000s. Look at the Christmas movies.

[A]

I wasn't alive.

[E]

I know, but that. Exactly. They were so. They were just great, dude.

[A]

They were.

[E]

It was. Christmas was such a special.

[C]

Hallmark pumped out so many of the same movies just with different actors.

[E]

They ruined Christmas.

[C]

And now it's just a slop. Is doing the exact same.

[B]

No Christmas movies now are the guy.

[D]

That would like AI Slop.

[B]

Oh, my gosh. Zipper. Right.

[A]

Do you guys watch Christmas movies?

[B]

The classics?

[C]

Absolutely.

[D]

Does Home Alone count? Because in my book it does.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Home Alone's great. National Lampoons Christmas. Amazing.

[A]

Elf.

[D]

Nah.

[B]

Well, you know, besides what Evan just.

[A]

Said about this elf and. Why don't you like elf?

[D]

No, it's fine.

[A]

What?

[D]

It's fine.

[A]

What do you feel like? It's a derogatory term.

[E]

He just thinks it's up that he left all the other elves.

[A]

Yeah. Do you think that's messed up?

[D]

No, no, Buddy's good.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Is that his name? Buddy?

[E]

Buddy.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Buddy. No, it's fine. It's fine.

[E]

I just wasn't.

[B]

Rocket man, dude.

[A]

Buddy. Rocket Man. What a legend. I bet they have a legend.

[D]

Crazy Christmas.

[B]

You're right. I bet they do. I bet they have rockets. Like a rocket propelled Christmas tree that shoots up into the air, bro.

[A]

Ken, chill. What are you doing?

[B]

Ken?

[E]

He's just trying to spread Christmas cheer.

[B]

Well, it's not a Tuesday.

[C]

I'm not the Grinch over here. I'm trying to keep people happy while.

[D]

You'Re handing them bullets out.

[E]

So last weekend, Ken and I went to Vegas, which I feel like is a reoccurring subject.

[A]

Dude, I've heard that so many times this year.

[E]

I know.

[D]

This is insane.

[A]

I feel like the. I feel like a listener at this point. You guys get home and I'm like, tell me about your trip.

[D]

How are the doors? I just want to get to that.

[E]

Doors were standard. Standard doors this trip. Nothing too crazy other than the rodeo, bro.

[A]

The rodeo k to put his beard out for this.

[E]

All righty.

[B]

Shopify 2026 is the year you launch your business. The year you transform into an entrepreneur, founder, boss. Maybe you've got an idea you can't shake.

[C]

All right, now that my calves have grown so large, I'm thinking about starting my own online brand, Tree Trunk Trousers. For those people with big legs like.

[D]

Me, Shopify gives you everything you need to sell online and in person.

[C]

First.

[E]

This new year with Shopify by your side. AG1 is my favorite supplement. I love that it supports my immune system during the busy holiday season.

[C]

I love all of AG1's flavors, citrus, berry and tropical. But I think my favorite is still the original.

[A]

I've been riffing AG1 every morning. I've noticed that by taking it at the same time, it has become part of my morning routine.

[C]

Heading into the holidays, it can be hard to maintain a balanced diet and give your body the nutrition it needs. Thankfully, AG1 Next Gen contains more vitamins and minerals than ever before. And it's clinically proven to and it's clinically shown to fill common nutrient gaps.

[B]

That's drinkag1.com for 126. For $126 in free gifts for new subscribers.

[C]

I told you guys, rodeo is pretty lit. You guys all laughed at me. Everyone else came with that fun.

[A]

Oh, I believe it. I've been to a couple rodeos. They are lit. Those guys are sick.

[E]

First of all, like, I don't understand the rodeo I get. You know, horse, bull.

[D]

Would you just stay on as long as you can?

[E]

Yeah, but they only ride bulls for eight seconds. This but no, like the bull riding segment. Maybe it had to do with the beverages I was drinking, but felt like it was maybe 15 minutes long. Like there's probably what, 10 riders, 8 seconds a ride. They probably do it every minute.

[A]

There's more than that.

[E]

No, it was very short. There's barrel racing and there's double roping and roping and all the different things.

[C]

It's insane because these guys are doing it for like 10 days straight down there. They are like, it's a 10 day show and they just go night after night.

[A]

But it's a show.

[C]

Yeah, it's a show.

[E]

It's very performative.

[A]

Isn't it a competition?

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

What's a competition?

[A]

Was it pbr?

[C]

No, it's like it's nfr, the finals.

[E]

The one thing they have right, which is cool is they don't say like there's no point system or anything like that. It's money. So they'll be like, she's earned $185,000 this year. Like when they bring them out and.

[A]

You'Re just like, yes, dollar bull rider.

[E]

Exactly. So like you could go out there with some arbitrary point system, but they're just like, nah, here's a guy who's made $700,000 riding bulls this year and you're like, yeah, that's lit.

[A]

So that was hell of a way.

[E]

To earn a living for sure.

[D]

But phones are doing well.

[E]

The rodeo clowns are savages.

[C]

Rodeo clown, financially, yeah, I hope.

[B]

But I could see it. I could see a whole documentary about it and being like, rodeo clown did well. He's getting on, man.

[D]

I can see them like getting like pre gaming to go out there.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Psyching themselves up.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

You would definitely be a rodeo clown.

[D]

I think I would rather step into the rodeo ring as a clown than a bull rider. Your odds don't make me regret saying that. But I see that.

[E]

You see the little twinkle in Ben's eye right there.

[D]

I don't know why, but for some reason I think I have. I said like 1%. More odds for my terms. Maybe not in my favor, but I agree.

[E]

I think. I mean, if you're riding the bull 100, you are gonna get touched by the bull. But if you're the clown, like, there's really one on every couple runs and.

[C]

You'Re in the freaking barrel getting hit. That's true.

[E]

That you stand in a barrel.

[D]

I got my own barrel. It.

[E]

But the. The rodeo's got it figured out, dude. Like, there. There's the. The audience and the crowd, and every cutaway, they just find three hot chicks and just put them on the jumbotron.

[D]

You guys are so gross.

[C]

They. They did cut back to the same three chicks, like, multiple times.

[E]

Yeah, I don't remember, but I'm just saying they know how to make it a spectacle. You go to a freaking.

[A]

You are just a pig.

[B]

I'm on the defend.

[A]

Ryan.

[B]

A couple. I don't think he said it like he was expecting. Excited.

[E]

It wasn't like, oh, my God, the chicks. But it was just a better event. It was just a better event.

[A]

Sad.

[E]

What are they gonna do with a demo derby or something? They cut away to Bruce. Like, find the hot chicks, cut away the camera to them.

[A]

I know. I'm just kidding.

[E]

You know, like, you go to an NBA game, who do they show in the crowd? Celebrities and hot chicks. They've got the formula down. And so then you go to the rodeo. They follow that, and it makes people want to show up. It feels cool to be at the rodeo.

[A]

So what else did you guys do in Vegas?

[C]

Yeah, was gamble a lot.

[B]

Concert more fun lot. Dude. Bro.

[E]

We hosted a straight up meetup at the Gavin Adcock concert. It was lit. We walked out and one person stopped us for a picture as it was like a hallway. It got chaotic. It was awesome. It was so sweet, though. Everybody was good hammered.

[A]

That's cool. I saw a couple videos of Ken. Now you're just like big dogging on the tables. Ken, gambling, like $3,500 a hand.

[C]

Okay. So I got influenced into gambling. Basically every dollar I had on me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because. Oh, didn't you tell. You told me that you were going with like three grand.

[C]

Except I forgot to go to the bank, and I came there with like $300. And then I did like take out thousand dollars at a time per day.

[A]

So every time I'm playing with you, though, you're. You're playing like 25 hands.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

How did it go from 25 to a 3, 500 blackjack?

[B]

That's a pit bike.

[A]

Right.

[C]

I think CJ or Gavin or somebody told me, oh, you should just gamble everything.

[D]

You don't always listen to other people, though.

[C]

And I.

[A]

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

[C]

A lot of beverages at that point of the night and just put everything down on one hand of blackjack one. And you know, of course we're celebrating. And then Colorado. Gavin spills his drink all over the table in classic.

[B]

I was reviewing the footage and it was just unfortunate. He put his drink in the air and it looked like you tried high five his drink.

[C]

I did hit it. And then.

[A]

So you hit it.

[E]

You spilled it.

[B]

But I mean, probably shouldn't have been holding. Probably shouldn't have been.

[A]

50.

[D]

50.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Dealer had to shut the table down. Like they had to change out all the cards.

[D]

Did they pay you before they all this.

[C]

They did.

[D]

Oh, that would have saved. They would have iced you.

[C]

They. They paid me. And then we go to another table in a different pit and that. That dealer got rotated.

[B]

Did somebody save the video? Because it's. It is pretty comical. And CJ's just zooms in on his face right as it happens. The guy's looking at you guys like.

[A]

What the man here's what like, I don't understand is, dude, people spill on those tables 25 times a day.

[C]

Problem is we spilled on the cards as well.

[D]

They could have been.

[C]

So then they have. They have to swap all the cards out.

[A]

Got it. Okay, that makes sense. But I was like, dude, relax. This. This guy just won $3500 hand. His boys are celebrating. They spill a little drink on the table. The pit boss just comes by and they just wipe the table up. Like, people spill on those tables all the time. Yeah, that. It just happens. Right. But this guy was just sitting there, just like, couldn't believe what just happened. The. The dealer, I was like, bro, what the. That guy's deal?

[C]

I think it's like kind of a thing because they have to like change all the cards out of the, you know, the shuffler and all that kind of stuff.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And that makes.

[C]

It's like when it's out of like their normal rotation of replacing cards and they can't.

[A]

Then they can't. Well, they also like have the cards in their favor.

[C]

It's also like 10 o' clock on a Friday, Saturday night. It was busy. Busy.

[D]

What did you do directly after when gambled on.

[C]

On a different table.

[A]

Did you win?

[C]

Well, actually, I tried to wait in line to cash my chips out and then Line was too long, so I went and played bak. I did go up a couple hundred bucks, so.

[B]

Oh, even better.

[D]

So you're sitting on seven grand after that blackjack hand?

[C]

Yep. Then gamble a little more and then came home with three.

[D]

There's $4,000 discrepancy there.

[C]

Oh, I also. I did a $5,000 hand. I borrowed $5,000 from Dave.

[E]

Jesus.

[C]

Did it on a hand and lost it.

[A]

Also.

[B]

Just slides that one in there at the end.

[D]

Give me the card.

[C]

Give me.

[B]

Real quick.

[A]

Real quick.

[D]

Where'd you get that? What was the dealer showing?

[C]

I don't remember. It was.

[D]

You do remember. This hurts.

[C]

This one was late.

[D]

You actually don't remember?

[E]

I don't remember.

[A]

Yeah, of course he doesn't remember. It didn't work out in his favor. That's like him taking the tv. I don't remember.

[D]

Do you remember the one you won?

[C]

I don't remember what the cards I got on that one either.

[B]

Dude, this guy, post high school, you got a 17. And then they busted.

[C]

Oh, perfect. I don't remember what the video said, so. Okay, one other thing. We were. We were gambling to Aria, and Gavin turns to me. He's like, I'm pretty sure that's Zach Top next to us on the table next door to us. And I'm, like, looking through his Instagram. I was like, I can't tell if.

[E]

I've never heard of Zach Top in my life.

[A]

I was like, he wasn't saying, I sleep like a baby.

[C]

I'm looking at him. I was like, I'm looking at his Instagram. I was like, I can't tell if that's him or not. I eventually get up, go to a different table, and then Gavin goes over and talks to him, and it was Zach Top just gambling at a. Gambling at Aria.

[B]

Bet you the first thing he asked him.

[A]

You like three wheelers? Yeah.

[E]

Gavin went in there, one open table. Then the entourage of his crew was crazy. You just had a big crew.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

And then we had, you know, our 15 people. And Gavin just slips in there, hops on the table, plays with them, became boys with all of his boys. I don't really know if he got to be friends with Zach or Mr. Top, but. But he was pretty good friends with the rest of the crew.

[A]

Yeah, I heard that Gav hit it off with the bass player, was, like, a big fan. Oh, really?

[E]

That's cool. I didn't.

[A]

And Gav somehow got invited on, like, their party bus. That was. I don't know where what they Were doing or what? Where they were going. Well, I do, but I'm not gonna say. And then there are some videos. Yeah, but me and Mike weren't there. But I texted in the. In the group chat late at night, and I said, yo, for this video bit, put a thousand bucks on a roulette hand. And I was like, or $5,000 on a roulette hand, everyone. Each one of us puts in a thousand bucks. And then it'll, like, finish off this video bit. Well, I know that we won, but I haven't seen the money of our winnings, so I don't know how it went. Can somebody please tell me we did win.

[C]

Your cousin took the money.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I don't know what he did with the money after that.

[A]

My cousin is C.J.

[C]

Ryan, and I got paid out. I don't know where your money's at.

[E]

I demanded it on the spot.

[A]

Yeah, because that's the thing with this guy is, you know, that money's already gotten allocated towards other. Other bets. So that's when I'm. I'm just wondering how long until I get paid out on this deal.

[C]

I did see him wandering around the sports book before we left, so I don't know where that's at, but could be problematic.

[A]

Yeah, and it's gone.

[B]

When he's updating everyone on Snapchat, he's like, oh, you know, I'm 10 bucks up, so a lot of work, not much to show for it. And he goes, I think I'm just gonna go back to sports betting, which.

[A]

Which he is bad at, but he's not as bad as sports betting. Like, he still loses money on that, but he loses more money elsewhere.

[C]

The burn rate of sports betting is a lot slower. Burn rate of slot machines or table games.

[A]

Mike, we came out pretty good.

[B]

We came out great. And I was. You saw. I said, yep, I'll throw a thousand bucks in. And then I. I was, like, overthinking about it. I'm like, man, I hope they win. I hope they win. And I'm like, gosh, it's like, if we lose, they're definitely gonna ask for the money. But if we win, I didn't pay anyone yet. So, like, they could just take that money and be like, ah, like, you never sent me any money, man. We did the bet, but classic. Yeah. So I was thinking a lot about it, and then you guys sent the video. Ryan, great job filming, bro.

[E]

Dude, they do not like you filming in there.

[B]

They don't. They were, like, covering him up. Yeah, yeah.

[E]

The lady kind of like body checked.

[A]

Me need a grandpa Ron.

[C]

I was like, I needed a buffer. I was like calling in favors. We were asking people left and right, like, hey, can we film? Can we film?

[E]

And were you calling for favors?

[C]

I was. I was calling a couple casino hosts. So we were talking to pit bosses and everyone was basically saying, no, you don't talk to this person.

[E]

He walked in the high limit room. It's fucking super quiet up there. Like it's. People are there to work, dude. It's quiet and there's little rooms. Like every table has its own room. We've never been up there. We all stroll in post roadie, a whole bond. We're like, where's the roulette table? And the. The guy comes over in a big suit. He goes, there's no roulette in here. And we go, okay. And turn around and stumble out. It was pretty funny. Yeah.

[A]

I gotta track that guy down.

[E]

Your cousin? Yeah, he's not even. He's not even here today.

[A]

He's been awfully quiet ever since he got back and he owes me my money. He's been awfully quiet. Yeah. No. CJ texted us this morning and he said that he was down with the sickness. More sick today than he. When he had Covid and the boys were down when we. When we were all sick.

[E]

He sent us his in a row. His little whoop score. 1% recovery.

[B]

Yeah, that was interesting to me. It was. It was basically showing him that he was at like 1% of what he could be. And I don't know how it reads that, but it was like. It's like, find comfort in. There's 5% of people on the app are also at 1%. So you're not alone.

[E]

And I do, I do see that.

[A]

He did that need to be said for.

[E]

He slept from 4:43am to 10:18am Sounds.

[D]

Like a normal Zorbas night.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Sleep guys just. That's the problem.

[A]

Some guys just aren't built like you have.

[B]

I also didn't either that like, I.

[A]

I looked at it.

[B]

I remember one time Justin was like. I was working on some of the stuff for the merch shop and he's like, did you sleep last night? Like, you look super tired. And I'm like, no. Like I. I went to bed super late and then I'm like. But I, you know, I still slept till like 9:30. So I got five hours. And he's like, oh, you got more than me. Justin has a son that keeps him up at night. So I'm like, yeah, I didn't know.

[E]

Babies didn't sleep that much.

[B]

Some sleep for, like, seven, eight hours straight.

[D]

Well, I don't think they're often up a long time in the middle of the night. They just. They're up for a little bit. Snack and go back to bed.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

He'll say, like, oh, hey, can't argue with that. Hayes woke him up, needed to do something, and then Justin, what do you.

[E]

Need to do, baby? He should just sleep.

[D]

Probably has a diaper full of worrying.

[A]

About his taxes, making sure that they're getting filed.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

He's thinking, how can I further the corporate greed of my company?

[A]

You know? He's like, I'm a baby. But I know that when I'm 18 years old, I'll look back at today and be like, damn it, I should have bought a house that keeps a lot of babies up at night.

[C]

If only I would have bought bitcoin. When I was three days old.

[B]

Who.

[D]

Was the dunce that put the sticker on my door handle? It made a mess, left residue. And then I put Gooby Gone on there, and I was using the torch, and that's, like, such a mess now, and I'm not happy about it.

[C]

What did the sticker say?

[D]

Whatever brand those wheels are, I'm starting to think that it was either Ben or Dolly.

[C]

Could also be Micah, but it wasn't me.

[E]

Dalton, Ben's ignoring us.

[D]

I think it was him.

[B]

I think it was Ben. Just based on the fact that.

[C]

Did you put a sticker on Evan's door handle today?

[D]

I was walking with him when he noticed it.

[B]

Well, that's unfortunate. I've got residue on his handle from a sticker.

[C]

Ben, you never said.

[D]

No, straight up.

[A]

Wasn't me.

[D]

Okay, if it's that big of a deal, just look it up on the security cams.

[B]

Oh, true, true.

[E]

Remember that one time that CJ put a sticker on Ken's Tesla? I was thinking in the face.

[D]

I was thinking while I'm, like, running Gooby gone down my door and making a mess. I'm like, now I see why Ken was so pissed. I'm not actually pissed. I was just curious. It was Brian.

[E]

Oh, that's for sure Brian. Look at him looking around, looking for the.

[D]

For no reason.

[E]

He.

[B]

He went out all the way over.

[D]

There with malicious intent.

[E]

He did.

[B]

That is hilarious.

[E]

It's cool, though, that he picked you, you know?

[B]

And it's cool to see him out there doing stuff like that.

[D]

Like, beat on my tire first. Oh, no, maybe he's not. I'm sorry.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

What's he do? Why is he hiding behind my truck? What is he doing?

[E]

Maybe there's a sticker. You haven't even noticed yet.

[A]

I knew the stickers were three or.

[D]

A three pack, and I found two.

[B]

Oh, my gosh.

[D]

Oh, my God. You know what makes it better? When I walked into the shop, when everyone was gone, there's one person in the shop, Big Ranch. I go, some truck. You know, there's residue. Everybody goes, oh, here's some gooby gone right here.

[B]

Bro. That's also. It was funny. Like, you. You were asking everybody, who put these stickers on my truck? Who put in. You like, ah, you got your rags and your gooby gone, I guess you call it. And you went out there, and then you pulled up to the shop before the podcast, and you still had one on there. And I was like, damn.

[D]

I guess on the. On the rear passenger.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, you still had it on there.

[E]

And I was like, dude, I'm happy for Big Wrench if he. If this can give him a little chuckle.

[D]

All right, well, let's not tell him. Unless he hears this podcast and I'm going to seek revenge.

[A]

What do you think about doing?

[D]

I mean, I might just go with the classic lug nuts. I like that one.

[A]

As in removing them.

[D]

Yeah. Or you could always maybe cut out.

[E]

His catalytic converters and sell them for profit.

[D]

Yeah, exactly. I could cash out and then just blame it on someone else.

[B]

You could replace. You could, like, build pistons out of stickers for his car and put those in.

[C]

You just put a piece of tape across the door when he walks in.

[B]

That'd be so funny. Just a classic Saran Wrap across the doorway. Oh, what the hell?

[D]

I'd rather Saran Wrap the toilet when he set it in there than the doorway.

[E]

Ooh, that would be bad.

[A]

Can you imagine? Oh.

[C]

Oh, that's just mean on the cleaning.

[A]

Oh, no, it would not be, Ken. No, it would not be. What you did was mean on the cleaning lady.

[C]

In my defense, I didn't notice it when I flushed.

[E]

My defense. That's what a toilet's for.

[C]

When I flushed it, it did. I did not notice. It looked like that when I came back.

[D]

When you caught hang time off the seat, you should have thought to look at what had just happened.

[E]

We'll call you Rocket man, buddy.

[A]

Bro, we gotta give our cleaning lady. No, sorry. Let me rephrase that. You need to give our cleaning lady a Christmas present.

[C]

Okay? That bathroom has been way worse.

[A]

No no, it is not that. No, it is.

[C]

That was one of the least were bad times. That was not that bad.

[B]

Delusional. Wait, so I don't know if Ken still has seen it.

[A]

I'm delusional.

[C]

What did it look like? Because I. What I saw on Monday when I came back.

[A]

What did it look like? It looked like the 4th of July happened in the toilet.

[C]

There's a couple little brown specks when I saw it.

[D]

No.

[E]

Little.

[D]

No. It looked like you took a handful of mud and threw it at a. At a wall.

[E]

It looked like that video. And we took the one dirt bike out and everybody was covered in mud. That was the inside of the toilet bowl.

[B]

Dude.

[A]

It was the most atrocious thing I've ever seen.

[D]

And the way it adhered itself to the porcelain. No amount of flushes would knock it off.

[E]

No.

[A]

So bad.

[E]

Glad you think it's funny because it's not cool.

[C]

It wasn't that bad when I left it. Somebody else blew that thing out after that video.

[A]

Oh, really?

[C]

Yes.

[D]

Who here even has the technology to do that?

[E]

Capability?

[C]

It wasn't okay when I left on Tuesday. Was that Monday or Tuesday? I did that.

[D]

It had a full week to end here before she had to go in there with a chisel and safety glasses.

[C]

I was gone for almost a full week until I come back and you're like, oh, my God. That. That toilet got blown out.

[A]

It was blown out the whole time. I sent you a snap in the group. You guys saw the snap in the group chat and I sent a snap of the toilet and I said in all caps, ken Matthews, you assaulted this toilet.

[C]

I must have all caps. I must have clicked through that snap.

[E]

You watch any of our snaps? I.

[C]

Some of them might click through.

[B]

How do you know some of them click through?

[D]

What's going to get your attention enough to watch?

[C]

Well, when there's like a six frame video snap of somebody chatting, I'm like, okay, we're just clicking through.

[B]

Who does that?

[E]

And. And so when you see something.

[C]

Ryan showing his camo pants for one time.

[E]

One time. We've been over this.

[B]

That was like 20 seconds.

[E]

Actually, I. He's not here, but I think, judging by the comments, I think C.J. lost in that. I had to delete some. There was one that said the F word. That's bad that you. That you actually can't say the bundle of sticks one. Yes, exactly. That one, but with a Y at the end. Ass bitch wearing his Carhartt vest in his soft ass hands. No one would think this mother effer is in the trades at all. Maybe someone's bitch apprentice. It was something along those lines. It was, it was so bad. I looked at it when this one maybe has to go.

[D]

I didn't think he looked like a tradesman. I thought he looked like a. Like a granola Earthy.

[C]

It's like the Carhartt work in progress.

[A]

So anyway, I saved it. Yeah, I saved it.

[D]

Are you ready?

[E]

We can't visually. Are you ready for the sake of the people?

[D]

Oh, God.

[A]

Oh.

[D]

Are you proud of yourself?

[E]

It looks like a crime scene. Look at how clean the water is. That shows how hard on there that stuff is.

[C]

Yeah, that's my bad, boys.

[D]

High velocity.

[A]

You see why we had a problem with it?

[C]

Now that's my bad.

[A]

And do you see why we think that you owe our cleaning lady Heather.

[E]

A Christmas present who is a saint.

[C]

Okay, what, what are your suggestions then?

[A]

Oh, I don't know, maybe a Lamborghini.

[B]

Or like a virtual reality headset.

[E]

A what?

[B]

Virtual reality headset so she can imagine.

[E]

She'S somewhere else when she's cleaning up your next mess.

[B]

Or Lambo.

[A]

Yeah, I didn't mean Lambo.

[C]

Seems a little steep out of the budget. I guess.

[E]

A 75 foot long cleaning bowl.

[D]

Yeah. Some really, really, really high end cleaning utensils.

[C]

What about a gas mask? When she has to go into your.

[E]

Office, don't bring Ben.

[D]

Do you think they have like, like a golden toilet?

[E]

Golden wand?

[D]

I don't know. I mean, SpongeBob had a golden spatula.

[C]

Yeah, like a golden toilet scrubber.

[B]

Or you have like a sheath of like cleaning supplies that are really high end.

[C]

All just gold plated. Solid gold.

[B]

Yeah, or solid gold would be heavy.

[D]

I like where you're going with this. Maybe Johnny dang could ice one out.

[C]

Don't know who that is, but okay.

[A]

Yeah, give her a nice iced out toilet cleaner.

[C]

Yeah, just the most expensive one possible.

[E]

Maybe. Maybe. Honestly, this one's probably gonna be really, really hard for you.

[A]

But maybe just a thank you texture right now. Text her.

[D]

No, but you have to be specific what you're thanking her for.

[E]

Honestly, don't. I'm sure she's forgotten about it again.

[A]

It's gonna be like flashbacks. No, no, don't say thank you, Sam.

[C]

I was gonna say. I was gonna say thank you. I was just gonna say sorry for blowing out that toilet.

[D]

Sorry for the spackle.

[E]

It seems like you're proud of it now. It seems like one of those, like I'm sorry's.

[A]

Yeah, it seems like you're gaslighting. Yeah, gaslighting it.

[B]

Heather.

[C]

Okay, fine. I won't send anything. If we're gonna be. We're gonna play this game.

[D]

I think you need to get your own.

[C]

I'll do it in person. It means more when it's in person.

[E]

She actually. She quit. She said she's not coming back tonight. Well, that's.

[C]

That's because she had on Monday.

[D]

I don't know, Ken. I think you need to just take a little bit more accountability for your blowouts. Maybe occasionally you could just take the edge off. You don't got to fine tune it, but maybe you go, shoot. Maybe I'll just knock the edge off it.

[A]

I mean, it's insane, Ken. This. Like, this is. This is a criminal act.

[C]

I didn't even notice it. I just flushed that and walked.

[D]

What does your toilet look like at home? Have you ever peered inside? Is it just clean?

[E]

Evan. They had to move out of their home. They had to move out. It was that bad.

[A]

It's insane. This is insane, Ken. I'm just glad that you're taking accountability for your actions.

[C]

If Heather is listening. Heather. I am.

[E]

She's not.

[C]

Okay, never mind.

[D]

She's not.

[E]

But what would you say to her? What would.

[C]

Heather, I am sorry I blew out that toilet and I did not clean it for you ahead of time. Right away, when it was still fresh and would have been significantly easier to do. Sorry. What do you.

[A]

Would your chat GBT run out?

[C]

And thank you for making our shop a lot better than. What are you. What are you trying to.

[B]

I think that is.

[C]

Keep our shop.

[A]

You won't do it again?

[C]

I'm not gonna say I won't do it again.

[D]

Just clean up after your mess.

[C]

But I will clean up, clean you up after my message.

[A]

Okay. All right, Great. I think I. Wow. That was great.

[E]

That was great.

[C]

It's a moment of growth.

[B]

I like it. Yeah. I mean, we. We found out who put adhesive stickers on Evan's door. We found out who blew it out the. I can't.

[D]

That's actually crazy.

[C]

That is completely out of left field.

[D]

He has a big project he's working on.

[C]

Work.

[D]

Walks away from it to stick her up my fucking truck and then have the audacity to help me try to.

[A]

Clean it up and not claim it. And not claim his actions, though.

[D]

It's pretty fucking hilarious.

[E]

Ah. Yep.

[D]

It's funny. It's funny.

[C]

Good.

[E]

Thank you.

[A]

You should call him right now and just say, hey, I'm just sitting here. Don't say you're on the podcast. Hey, I'm just sitting here, and I'm trying to figure out who would have put that sticker on my truck. Do you know? Because I'm just trying to figure it out and then just be like, it's all. It's all good. If you don't know, just.

[D]

Hello. Do you know what.

[A]

What.

[D]

What kind of stickers those were that ended up on my truck? Well, you gave me the gooby gone in the court torch, but the gooey gun was flammable. And now I melted my door handle. So now. And it melted into, like, with a lot. I can't open my doors.

[E]

Can't open your doors because of what now?

[D]

Huh?

[B]

This.

[D]

This.

[C]

This is so tough.

[D]

So tough.

[E]

Ask who could have done it.

[A]

The stickers.

[D]

The damn wheel stickers. That. I don't know. I think it was Dalton or whoever. They put those stickers on my door handles, and then I was trying to clean it off. You told me heat it up with the torch and try to scrape it or to put the gooby gun on it. And then I put the goo. Well, yeah, I didn't know gooby gone was flammable.

[C]

It's oil.

[D]

Yeah. Now my wrap is melted. My door handle doesn't work. Oh, that's funny. Was it Dalton?

[A]

I. I have no idea, because I'm.

[D]

Gonna loosen his lug nuts up if it was him.

[A]

Well, you should do that. Anyway, you came in and you got it off.

[D]

I. Well, I got it off the one side, and then I found out this son of a. Put it on. On multiple doors. So then I was. I. I just put a lot of gooby gone on there, and I just hit it with the torch right away, trying to speed things up.

[E]

It says flammable right on that bottle.

[D]

I was irritated and didn't have time to read. But you didn't see who took those stickers?

[E]

I didn't see who. Who put them on your truck?

[D]

Well, I mean, yeah, I would love to know if you saw who put them on my truck, but I'm saying they were. All the stickers were in the shop in the work base, so I thought maybe you saw who stole the stickers.

[E]

No, I gave the one to Ben.

[D]

You gave. So it was Ben. I thought it was.

[A]

I swore Red one. I gave him a big red one.

[E]

I'm like, what do you want to do with this?

[A]

And I was gonna stick it. I was pretending to stick it on the. On the side by side, and he.

[E]

Grabbed it from me and threw in the Garbage.

[D]

Okay, So I should look at Ben, though?

[A]

I don't know.

[D]

Well, if you were. If you were a betting man, who do you think I should suspect?

[E]

Well, I would hate to throw anybody under the bus.

[D]

All right, well, I'll get to the bottom of this. I just. I, I, I. I'd hate to be the guy that did it.

[A]

Boy, I would too. I wouldn't want you mad at me.

[D]

I would never be mad at you. I know you would never do that. I know you'd never cause me to burn half my wrap off my truck, wreck a door handle right before Christmas. I have presents to buy in a family.

[A]

Yeah, that would stink.

[E]

I would have read the label first.

[D]

So you're telling me it's not the sticker applicator's fault, it's the gooby Gone guy's fault?

[A]

Well, did you not look at the.

[E]

Gooby gun like that stuff is happening?

[D]

Well, I looked at. It was running down my door. This thing's oily mess.

[A]

It's not good. No.

[D]

All right, well, we'll figure it out. All right, we'll talk to you later. Yep. I'll let you know.

[A]

Big Wrench. Big Wrench can't take accountability, bro.

[D]

I. I had, like, 30 seconds where I could not. I.

[A]

Go silent. We're all crying, laughing. He goes, you there?

[D]

Well, you guys don't help. I thought it was pretty funny. I was having a hard time. And then I look at Ben, and he's. He's laughing pretty hard. And that's not easy to hold the laugh in when your buddy's laughing.

[A]

Dude, that was funny, bro. Big Wrench is taking that one to the crave, huh?

[E]

I love that.

[C]

He goes, hello.

[E]

He was so confused as to why you would call him.

[A]

Oh, wow, that was good.

[E]

Last prank of 2020.

[A]

Yeah, that was hilarious. But, man, Big Wrench can keep a secret, huh?

[E]

I guess so.

[C]

Doesn't crack under pressure at all.

[D]

Hey, and he's kind of. What's the word I'm looking for? Is that gaslighting where he accused Dippy of being my fault?

[A]

Yes. He just got gaslit.

[C]

Manipulative.

[B]

Mm.

[A]

Dude, I love that.

[B]

Yeah, you're just like, yeah, it's. It's going bad. I'm jammed up. Burnt the door handle. And he goes, well, that stuff's flammable. Should have known.

[D]

It's actually not flammable because I did hit it with the torch after I put it on there.

[B]

It's just Gooey Gone is not flammable.

[D]

No. You know, it would make it work is fit if it was a flat surface, so the gooby gun could sit on it. But because it's vertical, it runs off. So you just have to keep spraying it over and over and over.

[E]

Yep, yep.

[B]

It'll be okay.

[D]

Sorry.

[A]

You kept saying gooby gone. And then he started saying, well, you should have read the label on the gooby go.

[D]

Yeah. So I'm probably gonna loosen his lug nuts.

[A]

Dude, big wrench. That guy's a steel trap. That guy was not cracking under pressure. Not letting that secret out.

[E]

All the pranks you're working on, you'll be able to tell him, maybe I.

[D]

Should drive to his house tonight and put one of those stickers on his door handle.

[B]

That'd be pretty funny.

[A]

After this. After this, I just.

[B]

There's one left.

[C]

There's more in the trash.

[D]

3 times 4 12.

[C]

Each one had all four colors.

[D]

Holy, there's a lot.

[A]

Line this truck up.

[D]

No, I can't, because I know how bad it is to get up. Yeah, just the. Like, I'd feel bad if his door handles are paint match, which, I don't know. Mine are just like the black.

[C]

Just put it on the window so you can at least like, razor it off.

[D]

Well, that's why I was thankful. He put one on the driver's window right where I'd look. But he peeled the top off.

[B]

He's thankful Big Red.

[A]

You should call him and thank him.

[D]

He peeled the top off the sticker so it was like just the protective over the logo so it wasn't sticky. If you're like me and basically live in activewear, you know, the struggle, the. The good stuff costs way too much. That's why I'm obsessed with fabletics. It feels just as good, as premium.

[A]

This was before your time, but as a prank, one day when Ken was working his old appliance job, we went to his parking lot where his car was parked in the employee parking the Escort. And we Escort Focus and.

[C]

And we covered the entire thing in post it notes.

[A]

Yeah, so we, so we put colored post it notes all over the entire car. Rough number, top to bottom. I don't know. Full whole car. The whole car, top to bottom. Right.

[E]

It was a pretty big expense at the time.

[A]

And then we sat there and waited for him to come out and get his reaction like, like, you know, shooting it like secretively from another car so he didn't know we were there. So he comes out, he sees it, doesn't give any reaction and then we see him pull his phone out of his pocket and he texts us and goes, you guys have 20 minutes to get this shit off my car, otherwise you'll pay. Or something like that. When he always gives his open ended threats. And then we sat there, I think sat there for a while and pretty soon he started pulling them off and then we watched him pull all of them off. And then he went to the car wash and then he texted us and saying that the post it notes left behind like a colored residue.

[C]

So it did leave behind some Color a little bit.

[A]

And that he was going to, like, sue us for the damages.

[C]

I did not say that. Didn't say sue.

[A]

He, like, said screw. And then he was threatening us for the damages of the post it notes. And I think we just said, go through the car wash again. And then he did, and then they went away.

[D]

But how much was that pallet of duct tape we got when we did the duct tape tires?

[E]

A lot.

[B]

Four grand.

[D]

That is a lot to get revenge on Big wrench. But, man, it'd be funny to wrap his truck up like a cocoon.

[A]

That would probably.

[C]

I think we got a deal on that. We got. It was only like.

[D]

No, you do the first.

[A]

You know, we bought it from you line.

[D]

You do the first layer backwards so the sticky never goes to it. And then he'd come out and look at it and think it was the.

[B]

Truck being a cocoon. Hilarious. But the. Just that first layer of it.

[D]

No, you do it backwards.

[B]

Yeah. Well, then you could just, like, you'd.

[E]

Cover it in probably right before Christmas.

[B]

Yeah. Covered in the really thin painters drapery, the thin plastic. And then you just make a giant ball out of it. Gosh, it'd be hilarious.

[D]

You could put a car cover over it. Yeah. As long as you cover everything. You never know.

[B]

But you could almost tape things in. But I'd be so funny if you.

[D]

Taped, like, his tools. His whole fucking toolbox.

[A]

Go into his toolbox.

[D]

So he can't just throw.

[B]

The tape.

[D]

Socket might be in there.

[A]

And then we tape. And then we put duct tape every square inch of his shop.

[D]

Gavin's in the background shaking his head because he has to use the same tools.

[A]

Well, not at our shop. We go to his. Oh, his personal. Yeah, we go to his personal shop.

[D]

We take his athlete snowmobile. Wrap that sucker up, too.

[A]

Yeah. This is what happens. Big wrench. When you put a sticker on his car.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

4,000 bucks.

[B]

That's just.

[A]

I want another duct tape to cover those two. No, that was enough. You could cover a whole building with that much duct tape.

[C]

Oh, I mean, that's. That those tires were, like, probably five inches thick.

[D]

Yeah. When you.

[C]

They were sick.

[B]

What if you, like, put something in between them? Like, if you put a bunch of, like, foam pieces and stuff, you could make a giant, giant ball out of his truck.

[D]

I think it would be perfect if it looked just like a truck, but fully.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[D]

Duct tape.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Well, don't give away all your secrets now.

[A]

We're gonna have to act fast on this.

[C]

Yeah, we have Till we've got four days, Christmas Day.

[A]

Even if he knows about the idea, it's still going to be in cool, incredibly inconvenient. You know, like, it doesn't matter if it's a surprise or not. It's one of those ideas where it's like, either way.

[D]

I think maybe to make it even better, we give him a really dumb task to do extremely early in the morning just to like get. Get his truck there, make it even more, you know, so he's a little like on edge, inconvenienced. And then he finds out his truck is duct taped. Like, come pick up the sprinter van at 3:30am and drive to Minneapolis airport.

[A]

Like, that's what I'm saying.

[D]

Let's wreck his day.

[A]

Dude, this guy is pissed off right now.

[E]

It's one measly little sticker on his door handle.

[A]

Let's him up three stickers.

[B]

Three. You're right.

[D]

You're right.

[B]

No.

[D]

And for the record, I'm not been mad this entire time. I just assumed it was someone that was sitting on this podcast, which is why I brought it up.

[B]

A little more of a reputation, you know?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

But I. I'm stoked. It was big wrench. Like, if it was. If it was Gavin Wrench, I'd be.

[A]

Pissed because you'd have to box him. What about you and Dalton getting in a boxing match?

[D]

I don't want to hurt the little fella.

[A]

Do you think so?

[D]

I don't know. He's got the reach on you, but.

[A]

You definitely got like the ball.

[D]

He's got reach, but when he gets caught with a compact uppercut to the chin, that might change his life.

[C]

He's definitely like a lot. He's very quick too, on. On his feet.

[D]

Plus, I don't know, he's kind of gangly. I could tip him over.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Once again, it depends.

[D]

Are we box? Yeah, I guess if we're boxing, you can't go to the ground, but yeah.

[A]

Scrappy little bastard. That's what you are, Evan.

[B]

As much as gotta be. Yeah, maybe I'll love to see that. I hope you guys don't box each other, but I do. I would love to see whether even, you know, if it's not on camera, but if I'm out there on the track and I gotta stop watching my phone. I love for you two to run a race.

[D]

Well. Yeah, that's. That's.

[C]

Yeah, Yeah, I would love to see you too.

[D]

I just don't want him to hurt himself.

[C]

I would love to see you two Run a lap around the track. You guys have been talking big on feet. No, just on bikes.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I swear, you don't listen.

[C]

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention at all. I zoned out for a second.

[A]

It's all good.

[D]

We're filming a podcast.

[A]

You got a lot of in that.

[B]

Gives him the head.

[A]

2026 is the year of Hugh.

[C]

TV was a little distracting for me back here.

[E]

It's a picture of earth.

[B]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

You got to draw the line. Line in the sand somewhere. And I don't think that I am going to let two of my friends box again. No one got hurt, but it's just like.

[B]

That's kind of what I was getting at. Like, I'm no pacifist, but I don't really like seeing my friends box.

[D]

Box.

[A]

I don't really like boxing my friends.

[B]

Yeah, Gav just said he doesn't really like boxing his friends, but, boy, is it entertaining.

[A]

It was entertaining. It was probably. It was like, looking back at the year, it was probably five top five in it. I think quad bit was top five.

[E]

Really? You think you're putting me top five?

[A]

Absolutely top five. I. I don't know. I just thought it was hilarious.

[E]

Okay. And I like that a lot of people hated it. Alondra was like. She actually genuinely asked me. She's like, are you doing, like, okay after this? Like, there's a lot of hate comments. I was like, is there a lot of hate comments? I thought people thought I was sick.

[D]

Dude.

[A]

There are so many people that said this was the worst bit you've ever filmed, and so many people that said this was the greatest bit you've ever filmed, which is great because it got an emotion out of everyone.

[D]

You're a true artist.

[C]

So, yeah, the thing about the boxing bit is everything happened so fast in that it was like. It was like 36 hours.

[A]

And we know Ken has a hard time paying attention.

[C]

No, it was like 36 hours from idea to them in a ring, he.

[E]

A little bit, and then before he.

[D]

Knew it was over.

[B]

Maybe that's what it is. Obviously, we do our best to plan, but I would say the boxing bit and the quad bit.

[A]

Yeah, you have to strike.

[B]

Happen really fast. My favorite is reading the TikTok comments, Ryan. Like, anything that involves you, you just, like, get a pass. Whether it's bad or good or cool or not cool or funny or unfunny. Everyone's just like, abbott. Like, that's quad.

[A]

That's.

[B]

That's what quad would do. That's what Quad does. He gets a pass now for everything.

[E]

It's really not four wheels down. It's. It's.

[B]

No, I don.

[D]

I don't like the four wheel sides.

[B]

No sideways. But I, I don't really like saying four wheels down. I don't know who.

[A]

Yeah, it's funny.

[B]

Who.

[A]

Quad. Four wheels down.

[B]

I just. It doesn't like. I love quad. Throwing up fours.

[E]

Four wheels down.

[B]

Pickle. Yeah.

[A]

Four wheels down. You know, Ryan, he doesn't get off the ground. Four wheels down.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. Because I was like, four wheels down means you never wheelie. But I wasn't thinking about jumping.

[E]

What's. What's probably one of your other. Your favorite bits of the year if you. If you had to pick. Being that after this we're gonna have the next podcast is the best of podcast. And actually it. I think it's one of my favorites of the year because just.

[A]

It's just a lot of.

[E]

It's just gold throughout the year. But what would you say is one of your best video moments of the year?

[A]

Oh, I. Dude, I don't remember what we did last week. Dead ass.

[E]

What did we do last week?

[D]

Video.

[A]

Oh, oh. Best video of the year. Are you asking Gavin three wheeler off against Dr. David best video of the year?

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

That was my. That was my favorite video.

[D]

I feel like can. You gotta think of a different. We all gotta think of a different. Yeah, we can all agree.

[E]

I agree.

[D]

That was top tier.

[C]

Putting Cheetos in the minivan. I had a fantastic.

[D]

You are one sick, sick fella.

[E]

I will say that probably the cheap car challenge was one of my favorite.

[A]

Part one or part two.

[C]

Just. Just like to set up part two.

[A]

Part two was I think our best video of the year as far as like ideas, execution and delivery. And that video got flagged for something. No, no, no, no. That one didn't. Yeah. It's almost got 5 million views. That one's crazy. The other one's got 7 million views is part one, the motorcycle part two. And the motorcycle part two is better than part one.

[E]

Remember, it's a wheel.

[A]

Yeah. But. Oh, man. The Gavin three wheeler off with Dr. David.

[E]

I was pretty damn good.

[C]

You cannot make that up him. That three wheeler going out the loading ramp.

[A]

I also think is one of the fan favorite videos of the or moments of the year. Just off of like what I see on TikTok and just comments is me driving the school bus with Ken in the backseat.

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

And Ken getting thrown up in the back seat like, bro.

[B]

Because that moment watching that footage back of that is like, is this real? I know these guys are always finding themselves in crazy situations, but seeing you bounce on those seats and against the roof like you were.

[C]

That hurt incredibly bad. Like, I. I was jammed up for probably two weeks.

[A]

I don't think anyone questions that. Kid. You got rag dolled, bro. That was good. I was just glad that you're okay.

[E]

Best build of the year.

[A]

Oh, Houseboat or the Harley. Or the Harley Davidson four wheeler? I was gonna say Harley Davidson four wheeler. Quality houseboat as far as everyone was involved, having a good time, and like. Like, from idea to execution to the video for as a whole. And it also turned out 10 times better than any of us thought.

[D]

Best build, in my opinion. 4.7Magnum.

[E]

I thought you were gonna say the LS Miata. The LS Miata was a great build.

[D]

Okay. That's actually the best build, except for it has crepe paper ball joints.

[A]

What was your favorite, Mike?

[B]

Dude, I. I always go back to, like, the cheap car challenge. That was super fun. And then, like, I don't know, underrated for me was still, like, when we built the half pipe in the back.

[E]

The two ideas that I think were my favorite, but they didn't work, actually happened in the last month. Breaking into the armored truck, I think on paper is a genius idea. I just don't think it went as well as we'd hoped. And the cheap versus expensive mega quad, those were like. I think those were so good on paper.

[C]

Armored truck was like, such a crazy situation of him just hitting the door and it just popping open.

[A]

Dude. So a lot of people actually really don't like that video because they thought that it was scripted and fake.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Which pisses me off because Gavin is so entertaining and he's so extravagant that people think that it's fake and that that's just how he is. That is how he is. And it's not scripted. It's not. None of it is fake. It just comes off so unbelievable because nobody knows a human like Gavin to be that. That extravagant, that insane.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And. And they didn't like that video because it was, like, all kind of centered around Gavin doing this. This feat of breaking into the armored vehicle. And I don't know, people just didn't like it. But you just don't know Gavin. And that's why you think that it's, like, set up. But, like, that's just how he is when the cameras are on or the cameras are off.

[C]

It was kind of insane. Like, we expected it to take him so much longer to actually like break into that thing where we had to like stall him.

[D]

But we thought it might be quicker for him with the shovel.

[C]

But like actually getting into that armored truck, we're like, oh, it's gonna take him all afternoon than the taking this thing out of the sandhill is going to take him 10 minutes. And it was just complete opposite.

[A]

So you know what's tough is like scrolling through all of the, the past videos of this year. I see the title and thumbnails, but.

[B]

I was just about to say the same thing.

[A]

I never remember the, the second part of the video and a lot of times third part of the video because we do so much and those are my favorite always. And those, those are like the fans favorite bits as well. Moments like that are just harder to title and thumbnail around. So as far as like when we're trying to make videos that are going to get, you know, as many people watching and most clicks. Right. But that's something that we're trying to integrate into the videos like for 2026 is having more like B type ideas be more title and thumbnails. And like a good example of that would be Money Mike's Junk Tank. We did that two years ago. It was just a backend bit. People loved it and we're like, oh, this is something that we could probably do again and do bigger and make more of a thing and then hopefully title and thumbnail around it. And we did see boy CB Junk Tank. Nobody knows what Junk Tank is besides for the people that watched it the year before. And it's like one of our biggest videos in the last month. So it's like it clearly works, working and that's something that we want to like build out more and more because like, like the builds and those types of videos are always super easy to title and thumbnail around. Whereas like the abstract ideas that we have of like that are more personality based like letting Ryan live out his lifelong dream of becoming a singer and.

[E]

Yeah, okay, yeah, it's hard to tie.

[A]

On the thumbnail around. Next time if we do something around it like quad, quads back or something.

[D]

It's a return of quads.

[A]

The return. The return of quad.

[B]

Viral.

[E]

Thought I was so off though. I mean I, I didn't, I didn't.

[A]

Know it was gonna take quads coming back in 2026, quad in Vegas. It's gonna go insane.

[C]

Quad's full album is coming out 2026, so.

[D]

So that's something I'm actually looking forward to. Quad's fourth reunion. Because that's gonna be something, a big one you don't want to miss. Yeah, yeah, we're ways out.

[A]

But you know, like the channel has evolved over the last eight years, nine years, almost 10. And now I think it's to a point where no matter what we do, people are going to watch. So it's like kind of gives us more creative freedom, which I'm excited about to. To be able to lean more into in 2026.

[B]

Right. And the fact that all of our videos, I'd say almost all of our videos, like they have that bonus bit, like all of our videos are titled and thumbnailed around one thing and they always come with one, two, three extra things. I mean that's just the beauty of it. And then we can test stuff and then it works and then move into title and thumbnailing around it.

[A]

Yeah, we got some great ideas already. The board's already full as far as ideas go for next year, so I'm excited. But yeah, we gained a million subscribers on the main channel. 500 million views, which is insane.

[E]

That's pretty wild. Yeah. Thank you to you guys. Yeah, that's especially thing I do. I love hearing when people say like, oh, I watch the podcast because I know like you those people are really.

[A]

And that, that's the thing too. Like for the podcast listeners. A lot of times we're like talking about, you know, what we're doing in like the next video or things like that where some people wouldn't want to. But I think it's like kind of a cool like exclusive look into it of like, I know these people clearly with us and they're gonna watch the videos or listen to the pod no matter what. It's cool to like incorporate you guys into our lives before the video goes on.

[E]

I promise we won't spoil the video. Like the video will still be good. We just give you like an inside look onto it.

[B]

And a lot of times when we talk about something that's coming up, we. It's because we can't help it.

[E]

Yeah, we're excited.

[A]

What was your favorite?

[D]

I'm pretty sure this was after the new year, but the old truck bit where I ended up where me and Ken had a car accident. So it's like.

[A]

And you slid into the chicken coop.

[D]

And I hit the chicken coop. It's one of those.

[C]

You also hit me.

[B]

We.

[D]

We really had just. It's just a very simple formula.

[A]

Yep.

[D]

Get in some four wheel drive vehicles, go have a day. It's my Favorite to participate in. And then. Yeah, I just think it's. It's a good time.

[A]

We got some ideas of that nature coming up next year that are going to be good.

[D]

Those are, Those are always my favorite. Like any time we just get two to four of the same or similar type machine, it could be a dirt bike or a car or a truck, snowmobile, and then we just like go get after it.

[A]

It's a foolproof idea because as soon as there's like three of us in different vehicles or on different vehicles, it's just gets rowdy and it gets chaotic. And that's when like the magic happens. It's hard to capture, which is a lot of times why we. We like refrain from just like letting all hell break loose. But I think we're at a point now where, like, we've gotten so much better at just capturing the chaos because we've been doing it for 10 years. Where now we can kind of like go back to the old ways of just like constant mayhem and being chaotic.

[D]

And I like how it kind of brings out like the one up. Like, yeah, if someone has a nice truck and a shitty truck, it's harder because you're like, oh, the guy in the nice truck, whatever.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

When everyone's playing with the same stuff.

[B]

Yeah, that's true. Bring some competitiveness.

[D]

Exactly.

[B]

That is. It's a good point.

[D]

Level the playing field. Bring out the competitiveness.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. That was a good one, though. Can you.

[D]

Can. Can.

[C]

I said the Cheeto bit when we.

[A]

That was good.

[D]

I just like the part that you put a bunch of wieners in there.

[C]

It was actually a decent amount of work because we had to stop. We. We stopped by a Walmart. We built up a. All the hot like we did. Our car had broken down, so we just steal the. The tow rig. Yeah, but it was just. It was a decent amount of work to try and like set that up and then get up early in the morning and then I intercept cj.

[D]

A lot of work. You had to push the cart from Walmart to the car.

[A]

I had to go to Walmart.

[E]

I had to drive our. It was like 20, 23 at 4 truck because our other car broke down.

[C]

Well, it was.

[E]

Sorry, Kenny. I'm sorry.

[D]

It was.

[C]

It was a little bit of setup. So.

[D]

Hey, speak it. Just because we've talked about the car tour a few times. Do you still think that I was being malicious when I threw that rock through the window?

[C]

No. Now that I review the footage, I freaked out a little too much.

[D]

I Love you.

[C]

I'm sorry about that.

[D]

I did not expect.

[A]

Wow. Did you see the connection that they just had? Play it back.

[D]

I love you, Ken.

[C]

I'm sorry about that.

[D]

I did not.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

I've ever seen in my life.

[D]

I would never try to hurt you intentionally.

[B]

Actually. Can that. It's because he's not hugging back. Actually, you're.

[D]

Well, that one I did. The first one, I was confused. I didn't know where we were going.

[B]

The second one, you didn't.

[D]

I went like this.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

How many did you.

[E]

A Christmas miracle.

[D]

Now you're just trying to get four.

[E]

A Christmas miracle.

[A]

What was yours?

[D]

Right.

[A]

Quad.

[E]

I don't think quad was my favorite, to be honest with you.

[C]

I think. I think it was the viewer's favorite, though.

[E]

I really loved.

[D]

Do we need to run the houseboat back just so I can be not sick.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

For that. Because I think I would have made it.

[A]

I think that made it.

[E]

Filming it. But God was rednecks with paychecks.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

That was that. The final product of. It was great, but it was a challenge.

[A]

We went to rednecks with pages.

[D]

Love to go to rednecks with paychecks just for the experience. Just to find out what's going on.

[C]

I wasn't planning to, but I went sober for rednecks with paychecks because I. I had to deal with you.

[A]

Well.

[D]

I had to double down for you.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Twice as drunk as he normally would.

[C]

I didn't start drinking until we got back to the airport on the flight home.

[A]

Dude, shred 80. Doing that hill on. In the Barbie Jeep. Going. Going down the hill in the Barbie jeep. Takes a cake for. Gnarliest I've seen all year.

[D]

No, dude, I. I've seen the footage. Obviously, I missed it there. I think him. Him bucking up to the rainbow rail multiple times. Yeah, that hill's gnarly, but that rainbow rail is really nice.

[C]

Okay. Going.

[A]

But the rainbow reel at least had a chance of success. I think it did. Like, I think. I think. I think you could have done it both times. I think he could have done. He could have done it on the first one, but he wasn't going fast enough. And he said that multiple times. He's like, I could have made it, but I. I pushed out and I let off that Barbie.

[C]

Gnarly is insanely steep.

[A]

You were crashing no matter what. I was on the.

[C]

I was on the side of the hill just trying to film it, and I was falling down the thing, and.

[D]

By no means am I taking anything Away from Barbie G Pill. I'm trying to put emphasis on how gnarly that Rainbow Rail actually is. Or spending just 50.

[A]

50, I agree.

[D]

I think is heavy.

[E]

I think if you put, let's say 25 people went down the barbe G pill. If you put 25 people on a three wheeler and they had to do the Rainbow Rail, more people would have gotten hurt there than they would have on the Barbie G Pill.

[A]

It's true. All right. I'm curious what Shred80 thinks was. Was the gnarliest stunt. Was the gnarliest stunt of the year. Hey. Huh? Oh, nice. I'll get Spenny in here. Let me FaceTime. Spenny, what do you think is the gnarliest thing that you did this year on. On Seaboy's vids?

[D]

Hitting the rail for the second time.

[B]

Hands down.

[A]

That's whatever. That's what ev was saying.

[E]

Have.

[D]

Do you feel that the Rainbow Rail is a more gnarly challenge than Barbie Jeep at rednecks with paychecks? 10 out of 10. I agree. That's what I said. Everyone else said the Barbie Jeep was more gnarly. I said Rainbow Rail. The Rainbow Rail you can actually die on. You're not gonna die during the Barbie Jeep. You might get really hurt, but you can actually die on the Rainbow Rail. I agree with you, Gav.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I. I don't know, dude.

[D]

I thought the Barbie Jeep hill was.

[A]

Was gnarly.

[D]

That was also a really bad one.

[A]

And then what. What was your favorite video?

[D]

Oh, favorite video that we filmed. Yeah, Cheap car challenge. You didn't enjoy Dr. David? No, I mean, of course I. Oh, I love Dr. David too.

[A]

I said that was my favorite video of the year. The Dr. David video.

[D]

That was just a big ass beating.

[E]

For me on that one, though. Took a pounding in that one.

[A]

Spenny.

[B]

What was.

[A]

What was yours? Benny. And you can't say wine night.

[D]

It probably the three stack tire.

[B]

Nice.

[E]

The three stack tire was gnarly.

[A]

Dude, that was so slept on of how gnarly that was.

[D]

What's that called?

[B]

Spending three stack splatter. Tire splatter.

[A]

Yeah, that was. That was gnarly. Okay. And then favorite vid. Mike's batch for sure.

[E]

Oh, that was a good. That is a good one.

[D]

He's just missing Mike's batch and wedding combo. Yeah, that was.

[A]

That was homie.

[C]

There's so many little bits.

[E]

Forget about.

[D]

I mean, the cheap car challenge was.

[B]

Really, really fun, but Mike's batch was.

[A]

Like insane, wasn't it? Me and you that were riding around on the stand up jet skis and.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And it was at night and we were just like, there's no way God isn't real. This is too crazy. It was a euphoric moment. It was literally both of us, like, together. We were like, this isn't real.

[C]

Yeah, bro.

[D]

It's just the craziest. Like, glassy sun, sunset, rip.

[B]

Like it just looked like it was.

[D]

Out of a movie.

[A]

Yeah. That was insane. That was a moment.

[D]

That was Mike's batch.

[B]

Was like a.

[D]

A really good time, dude.

[B]

I tell people, they ask how it was and I said I peaked because it was like the most fun I've ever had.

[C]

You know, Ryan, you're gonna have a. A tough time peeking for Ben and CJ's Bachelor.

[E]

I haven't been enlisted to do that.

[A]

Yet, but if they need.

[E]

If they need me, you know, if.

[C]

They need me, you're just the bachelor party guy now, though.

[E]

I don't get the pleasure of being a best man, but I do get.

[B]

To play at the bachelor party.

[E]

I. Spenny, I thought maybe you were going to say riding mopeds in Florida. That was a good time.

[A]

That was fun, too.

[B]

That was good.

[A]

Dude, there's so many things that I.

[D]

Oh, Redneck with Paychecks, man. Redneck with paychecks for sure. Almost.

[E]

That was on mine too. And I said least favorite to film, but probably my favorite to look back on.

[A]

What was your favorite moment from Rednecks with Paychecks? Gap have on camera. On camera or off camera?

[D]

From 20ft up there. From the top of Rich's. Another dude's razor.

[A]

Oh, watching Evan jump. Yes. That was crazy. I forgot about that one.

[D]

You didn't know I could eat a fall like that, did you? That was perfect. Tuck and roll off the very top of a razor.

[A]

Perfect, dude.

[D]

And then from the expert.

[A]

And then me and Shredded had stopped this guy from beating Evan's ass. He probably could have held his own, though.

[B]

So.

[E]

The single sentence together.

[D]

I couldn't have held another beer, not myself.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that was. That was a good year, boys.

[D]

I mean, honestly, there was too many good moments filming. Even Gav. I figured you'd bring up that time where you were on the track with your three wheeler and Dalton and Spenny were ripping. That was Gav's most terrified.

[A]

Most terrified moment of the season. He has nightmares thinking about that.

[D]

I don't think I've ever been that. That was. That's my maddest moment of the whole year.

[A]

Were you more Mad in the. Were you more mad than in that moment than you were when we were making you dig?

[D]

Oh, dude, you should have seen me light up, Dalton, that day. I was so mad. Yeah, nothing that compares.

[C]

Were you more mad about that moment or when you were getting chased around on the. The track off camera?

[A]

You be pissed at you, Cat. What moment are you talking about?

[C]

But I didn't hear you.

[D]

Ken, are you on the same planet as us?

[A]

How high are you right now again?

[C]

I didn't. I didn't. I didn't.

[D]

Have you been into cj?

[B]

Cbd.

[C]

I do have a CBD massage.

[D]

So why are you always bringing about these CBD massages?

[A]

What do they do?

[C]

It felt great.

[A]

All right, boys. Well, I just wanted to call and get your guys's. Get your thoughts on the year you're a big part of the channel success and. And look forward to next year. Love you, boys.

[B]

Oh, absolutely.

[A]

Get Spenny's little Canadian ass down here.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Evan just licked his lips thinking about it.

[D]

Dude, that was Ken. That was Ken. Why do you think he's working so hard on the Visa? Need some fresh meat.

[B]

Yeah. Dalton, what was. Later, boy. What was your favorite video to make?

[D]

And it better not be the cake in my face. Probably Cheap car challenge.

[B]

Yeah, that was fun.

[C]

You guys were absolutely vibing in that van.

[D]

We should shave our heads again.

[B]

I've literally, like. Yeah. I've never just felt more, like, free than that. Than that trip. Like, we were.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Shaving our heads and just like, we.

[D]

Were riding skateboards in random places.

[B]

That was so much fun. And it just like. Like, it was good to get out. And we all loved it and everyone loved it.

[E]

To get out and then get out.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Mike, you get so cooped up, you.

[B]

Know, get out of small town Cormorant every once in a while. And then what was your favorite video or video bit to watch?

[D]

Real versus fake unicorn. That put me in the dark.

[A]

Fudge, dude. I don't know.

[D]

I love them all so much.

[C]

It's.

[D]

Honestly.

[B]

Fair enough.

[D]

No, no, no. Lame answer.

[E]

Pick one.

[B]

Fair enough. Yeah. It's not that deep.

[D]

Just pick something. We all had the same thought.

[B]

We're just using it to, like, just resurface.

[E]

I don't know, bro.

[A]

Insane. All right.

[D]

I don't know.

[E]

I, like.

[D]

I legitimately cannot pick one.

[E]

I do respect that. You're like, oh, they were all good.

[B]

Yep.

[E]

As long as you aren't lying.

[B]

All right, Gab, stroll over there. I gotta ask you two questions.

[D]

Put your wrenches Away.

[B]

Yes, sir. I can.

[D]

Ask me more than two if you'd like.

[B]

All right, Gav, what was your favorite build?

[A]

Favorite build?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Don't say wooden dirt bikes.

[B]

That thing, bro, that thing was awesome.

[D]

The chain tensioner broke immediately afterwards.

[A]

Favorite build, in terms of how dialed it was, was the Stark three wheeler.

[E]

I agree. That thing was good. I thought the same thing about the Stark snow bike. I thought that thing worked really well too.

[A]

Yeah, it sure did.

[D]

Gnarliest thing I did.

[A]

That's easy. Box one of my best friends.

[B]

And what was your favorite video to watch?

[A]

Or the white monster bit? Yeah, that was special. I may have shed a tear.

[B]

Really?

[E]

Did you.

[A]

Did you cry watching it? Yeah, I mean, just, like, one tear.

[B]

But Ben's. Ben uses that on his. He's like, I make videos that people. They cry in, they laugh.

[D]

He shed the tear because while he was watching, he had that pile of cash on his lap. So rich. Sitting on the couch like Scrooge McDuck. Just bathing in it, making it rain.

[A]

Over and over again.

[D]

I lied. I actually do have one that trumps all of the.

[B]

All of the other videos.

[D]

My favorite one to watch. Remember when widow pilot couldn't find a three widow?

[A]

There it is. So his favorite was the armored truck.

[B]

No. First pir. Second pirate. When did we do humble the boat?

[A]

It was armored truck. It was armored truck.

[B]

Oh, I just remember when the first widow pirate got born. Like, we need.

[D]

We need to release the footage that was never seen that I filmed from inside the cab of the truck when Dalton was giving shreds instructions on how to do rollers. And the armored truck is running terrible. Gavin's to the floor. And the things backfired and whatever. And Dalton's getting visibly agitated, wagging him on. And Gavin is screaming.

[A]

I was screaming at me.

[D]

I know.

[A]

Cool.

[D]

I saw what was happening because it's what you do to me every time we do rollers. But it was way funner watching you do it to somebody else.

[A]

Yeah, I don't know. I. I think we just, like, didn't get that footage. Like, I. I saw it. I haven't seen it.

[D]

It's on my phone.

[A]

I know. I have.

[D]

Yeah, I filmed it on your phone you handed me.

[B]

I want to watch it now.

[D]

Film this.

[A]

Pop it up.

[E]

So this is some never before seen footage of Gavin's driving the armored truck.

[D]

Telling you to go faster.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Tell them.

[E]

Yeah, come on.

[D]

I go faster if I could. Out.

[A]

Fold out.

[D]

Come out here. I can't.

[E]

He's having so much fun. But he's so frustrated.

[D]

It was funny. I ran into the original owners of that armored truck at the bar last weekend.

[A]

Really?

[D]

So they sold it to Buddy for a thousand.

[A]

No. And what do we pay?

[D]

4,500.

[A]

Oh, that's all right.

[D]

And you know what? The. You know what? Buddy said that thing never ran worth a piss. The guy I bought it from goes, this thing ran mint.

[A]

He also was like. Like ghosting me when you were, like, on your way over there. And then he was like, sorry, I was doing my photo. Whatever.

[D]

So, okay, he freaked out a little less than I thought he did, but he. He was getting fairly frazzled by Don.

[C]

He got into it.

[A]

Ken, do you have any favorite Christmas sweets? Sweets, Toffee, the peppermint. Evan, I know you don't have any Christmas sweets. You eat all of them.

[D]

Catch me at the bowl of eggnog.

[A]

The sweets.

[B]

You ask Ken if he has any favorite sweets, and you ask Evan if he has any sweets, and then says he doesn't because he ate them all.

[D]

I'm not a sweets guy. Never been a sweets guy.

[B]

Sydney and I just made those almond bark covered pretzels.

[A]

Dude, those are ass. I'm sorry. Pretzels suck.

[B]

None taken.

[A]

People like pretzels.

[D]

Bullshit. First off, Dr. David brought us some of the best pretzels I've had.

[A]

Those are good pretzels. Those are good pretzels.

[B]

Also, once you just said pretzels were.

[C]

You know, I gotta say, the Alma bark pretzels, those are probably top five, man.

[E]

You know, I wish was here, cj Just slopping on a bag of nuts right now.

[D]

Oh, that boy loves nuts.

[C]

Nuts. He would have gone through probably two bags.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, this is a long podcast. He definitely would have broke back out the nuts to finish off the bag.

[D]

He would have been concerned to see Ben eating his jerky.

[B]

Yes, he would have been.

[A]

Yeah. So we actually have this theory that we've been talking about around the shop lately. So every two weeks, CJ gets a subscription of a bag of jerky that has.

[D]

No, no, well, six bag, basically.

[A]

Six bags of jerky. Right.

[B]

Bundle.

[A]

And it shows up in this. This bag.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Via Amazon or via.

[D]

And it's.

[A]

It's still to be determined whether it's via or via. We haven't figured that out, but it's. It's sent to CJ Lotzer every two weeks, thinking that it's something else he orders. He'll rip it open and then be like, more fucking jerky every single time. Like, it's every Two weeks. Like it's. It's gotten to the point where it's just entertainment for us of like, hey, CJ just got his bag of jerky. You guys want to get together so we can watch him open it thinking it's something else and then finding out it's more jerky.

[D]

Right. What he did was is he signed up for a free subscription, but it has like reoccurring billing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So. So CJ every single week was more jerky. And then is always disappointed thinking that it's like something else. He always eats it like his office is there in it is office full of beef jerky.

[C]

I guarantee what he did. He bought it on Amazon one time, accidentally clip clicked subscribe and save. Just defaults to every two weeks, which is most common. And that was just on his plan. That's what he did.

[A]

But he refuses that that's the case.

[C]

It actually is. It's really tough to figure out what you have on subscribe and Save, like find it on Amazon.

[D]

How expensive do you think that is? Less than 50 bucks. How much a month?

[E]

It's a pretty good.

[D]

What if we got subscriptions to it but got them sent here in CJ's name? So like every and. But we gotta somehow more beef jerky.

[E]

Than we can eat.

[A]

Dude.

[B]

It'd be just. Even if we.

[D]

Every two months, another bundle of jerky.

[B]

Yeah, every two days. I love that.

[E]

But you see the real kicker here is he's convinced that it's a PR package. He's convinced that it's. That's the company sending him the pr.

[B]

Yeah. And. But I'm not ruling that out. But that's what I thought maybe.

[D]

I mean, they could be persistent like you.

[B]

We really want BDCJ to try out.

[C]

This is exactly what CJ did. Subscribe and save and save 10%. That's exactly what he did.

[D]

How much does that cost per month?

[C]

33 bucks. No, 33 bucks a pop.

[D]

So every two weeks.

[A]

Every two weeks, spending 66 bucks a month. So on beef jerky that he doesn't.

[D]

Ken, can you sign us all up for a couple months subscription? I think we do this for the next two, three months.

[B]

Oh my.

[A]

It's still up in the air. I'm not really.

[E]

You maybe think they're sending it to us?

[A]

Because I know initially we probably earned.

[E]

A couple more months with the previous deal right here.

[C]

Actually. Really good beef jerk.

[A]

It is great beef jerky. So beef cake. It's started by a YouTuber. His name is. Name's Flair. It's great beef jerky. And initially we got it sent to us because flair's our boy. And now CJ is swimming in beef jerky. Like, he has like, a hundred bags in his office.

[E]

That's what I could grab.

[A]

Every time I walk in there and he's editing, he's eating.

[D]

I sneak a bag here and there.

[A]

Yeah, I do too. Every time I walk in there, I'll grab a bag because I'm like, he's not never gonna notice.

[B]

Notices he's gone nice about it. He lets. I've never seen him be stingy on it at all, obviously, because he has.

[D]

So much, but he is stingy on his nuts.

[B]

He is stingy on his nuts.

[A]

So because he's a germaphobe, that's why he doesn't want your hands.

[D]

Did you bring up the topic that he has his own fridge in the kitchen?

[C]

She does.

[D]

I've had to explain that to guests that come over. Be like, just don't touch anything in that fridge. Like, oh, what?

[B]

What?

[D]

Like, it's just cj. J's. Just don't go in there.

[C]

It's kind of funny that that's CJ's fridge in the kitchen. That it's not just in his office. Is that that fridge just should be in his office.

[B]

I never thought about it like that. Evan, you got a couple people shoot. You're shooting pool. It's right next to the pool table. And you're like, oh, yeah, yeah. That fridge. Free game. That fridge opposite of free game.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Don't touch.

[C]

They're like, good.

[E]

I didn't want all it is Vita, Cocoa, water, kombucha.

[A]

Is that his fridge?

[E]

Yeah, it's only his shitting it for the last.

[B]

I will admit. I. Whenever I want something to not disappear right away, I. I piggyback on that. I put it in cj.

[A]

That's my go to fridge to grab water out that.

[B]

I put the waters in there because I always know.

[D]

Well, now you figured waters are fair.

[B]

Waters are always fair. But I put the waters in CJ's fridge because they go a lot slower. I always know. I'll have a Cool. I'll grab the label maker.

[C]

There's always, like, the weird condiments and, like, the weird, weird snacks in that fridge that Jen specifically buys for CJ's on this.

[A]

He's on a specific diet, so that's why. That's why he has this fridge.

[E]

No eating on the podcast. I'm taking a hard line here.

[A]

I'm serious, Ken. I've Never put you hear my words together that it was his fridge, but it is only full of his.

[D]

And. And might I add, it took a crazy turn because that was. Was actually the Tony fridge that we used to drink out of. And then one day, it's all health food and no booze. I'm like, I don't get what happened here, but I'm staying the hell away from it.

[A]

Evan. Evan avoids that fridge like the plague, dude. He'll walk around the pool table the other way so he doesn't get close.

[D]

Well, it was because of CJ Having his own fridge. I went and bought my own fridge as well.

[B]

Oh, yeah, he's got his own.

[D]

Except I keep mine in. In. In the room at least.

[A]

Least imagine how rattled he'd be if he showed up tomorrow in that fridge was in his office.

[D]

Oh, I was just gonna say we should just fill it back full of beer again like it used to be, just full of Coors lights.

[A]

Anyone know where my nuts went? He send us a text in the group chat.

[D]

What's your New Year's resolution, Ben?

[A]

Oh, I'm actually trying to be more skateboard. Yeah, I will. I will. I'll drop in on a skateboard, and I want to learn how to kick flip. Flip.

[B]

Oh, my drop in will happen.

[E]

Very New Year's resolutions. Can't be about skating.

[D]

Sort of crazy, but also so accomplishable. You could do it in, like, no time.

[A]

I. Like, I'm a bad drop in the day.

[B]

The kick flips, we're looking at, like, six months.

[D]

The drop ins, more risk for injury, but easier.

[A]

Oh, I could drop in within five tries.

[D]

I think so. I think you could too. I'm just saying there's a chance I.

[A]

Might eat the first four.

[D]

The kick flip might take you a hundred or a thousand tries, but, like, there's not much risk for injury.

[A]

Yeah, dude, I'm bad at skateboarding.

[D]

Yeah, but I think you got it, though.

[E]

Either way.

[A]

I want to learn how to drop in. I want to learn how to kick flip.

[B]

Anything else?

[A]

I was gonna say I want to be more present. Like, I want to spend less time on my phone.

[D]

Dude, I'm down for you bringing more presents.

[A]

So that.

[B]

Yeah, that.

[A]

That's kind of what I'm thinking.

[C]

It does make a huge difference, like, just putting a time limit on apps, like having to consciously click the button to say ignore for 30 minutes or ignore for an hour.

[B]

I was always against that. And then I did it, and I.

[C]

It makes such a huge difference, I think.

[B]

So.

[D]

You're Saying if you click on the app, it doesn't let you in.

[C]

Like, you can only use the app for 30 minutes or an hour a day. And if you go over that, you have to say you have to consciously click ignore for an hour. Let me. Let me keep using it.

[B]

And then it just keeps you in check of, like, whatever. You could set that time limit at five minutes or five hours, but it keeps you in check of whatever you want your time limit it to be.

[A]

How about you guys?

[B]

Mine is nothing special, but it's just like, to post more. I don't like, post that much. It's like once a month on Instagram and then like Snapchat, I'm always behind. Like, just.

[D]

Just be more dialed and you're not behind on Snapchat.

[C]

You're posting things in the future.

[A]

You'll post it before it happens on Snapchat.

[D]

You're posting the idea.

[B]

All right, well, then I guess.

[A]

Yo, I just found out that everybody but got a new Lamborghini.

[B]

Huh?

[A]

Sorry. Keep going.

[B]

So to keep posting in the future. And then also I have this thought of like, like a perfectionist in some ways. And it's way better to just like, do a good job, do at the time you have, and then like, send it out or whatever, or order that product or, you know, like, post the video or do whatever you're going to do or even the fix, even if you're jerry rigging it. It's better to, like, get fixed than just not do anything at all.

[E]

Close your mental loops.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Just better to just. Yeah, like, just complete it at what it is and just be happy that you completed it versus being a perfectionist.

[A]

And stress yourself out and do more, think less.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. To dumb it down into four words. I completely would put that as one of my resolutions. How about you, Ev?

[D]

I really don't want to piggyback, but I agree. I've been. Been terrible.

[A]

Instagram, Snapchat, everything I bad on Instagram, you gotta post.

[D]

Yep. I haven't been posting. I haven't been posting at all. And so I want to get. Get back on that. And then I really just wanna. I wanna mess some bikes up. I'm really more hyped for wheelies. I got out on the ice and that literally fired me up so much. I got five minutes. My bike blew up is what it is. But, like, it felt so good. And I feel that, like, literally lit a spark so hard that, like, I noticed that I want to, like, I want to ride bikes, period. A lot. Every Discipline. But like, I am so stoked to do some wheelies. Like I don't know what I've been doing. I just been lacking.

[A]

I know what you've been doing. More of this, less of this potentially.

[D]

But yeah, get back on the social media game and do some wheelies and a lot of dirt bikes in general. Know riding in general. Honestly, like I've. I glanced up at that yfz, the, the quad.

[A]

All right.

[D]

And hell, I'm like, I wanna, I wanna have my track day with quads.

[B]

You might even catch the guy mobbing a side by side next year.

[D]

Whoa, no.

[C]

Did you say mobbing a quad?

[D]

Well, yeah, I've always said quads are gay, but I have fun riding them.

[A]

They are do. Everyone can agree with that. It is fun, dude.

[D]

They're fun.

[E]

They're fun.

[D]

They're fun to do donuts on. Fun. They're a cheat code for wheelies. And they're honestly super fun to hit jumps with. Maybe they just look bad compared to a bike. But quads are. They're all right.

[A]

All right.

[D]

Don't clip.

[C]

They're not as bad as some people say.

[D]

They're all right.

[E]

Ken, what's your New Year's resolutions?

[C]

I wanna really continue like doing my health thing and really try and dial in my diet. I think that's the, the next step of what I'm trying to do.

[D]

So what is that stuff you speak on of?

[C]

I've started going to more to the gym.

[A]

Not more. I've tried to started going to the gym.

[C]

I go to the gym every day.

[B]

Going a lot.

[C]

I. I stopped vaping.

[E]

Yep.

[C]

And now I think the next step is dialing in my diet.

[A]

You quit drinking beer too? Obviously you're drinking beer right now. But, but when, when you go to the bar.

[C]

I drink vodka.

[A]

Yeah, right.

[C]

I rarely drink beer.

[D]

I tried that, Ken, and it got me into more trouble.

[C]

I. I think it depends on like.

[D]

You can't always just replace beer with.

[A]

Vodka and expect nothing is gonna get set into motion with that.

[C]

But like, it depends on like what the, the liquor is made of. Like, is it potato? Is it grain? It. That makes a difference for you.

[D]

That's the difference of you running into a swamp.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You gotta ask ev when you're drinking this. Is it potato?

[C]

Is it potatoes or grain? That does make a difference though, Ken. I think that's, that's what I'm trying to continue rolling into for the next few days.

[B]

And I think it's okay to roll them in. I think that's Totally.

[C]

It's just building on what I've done already for this year, trying to, you know, make that next step for next year.

[E]

Lock it in.

[B]

Really lock it in. But also, I'd say you, like, you're vaping. Like, as long as you can continue on that, then that's the best news.

[C]

And I. I did do a blood test. I do have the results. I came back negative. I did. Yeah.

[A]

You had to get a blood test.

[B]

Well, because we're doing it negative for vape.

[C]

We're doing insurance. We're doing a bunch of insurance stuff.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[C]

When. When you actually complete it, which I did. And you haven't yet.

[D]

So any skate goals?

[C]

Maybe if I can ride more than three feet.

[D]

Oh, come on. That's too easy.

[C]

If I can just get flat and level down, I think that's good for me.

[D]

I think drop in our drift.

[B]

I'm not letting you drop a good goal. Oh, yeah.

[C]

Let me. Let me get flat and level down for more than three feet.

[B]

I don't know.

[E]

I think I might rather drop it.

[C]

Ryan, what are your skate goals for 2026?

[B]

My real ones, too.

[E]

My skate goals are to continue to just let skating progress without me.

[A]

This.

[E]

I felt like I really been holding the sport of skating back, so just let that keep going on and say goodbye.

[C]

And how excited are you for the quad world tour?

[E]

I'm gonna work on things that are more important.

[B]

And you're striking fear into this man's eyes with that statement.

[E]

My actual goals are trying to make some money.

[A]

Yeah. He's got to get his talent out on the road.

[E]

My actual goals, one is to ask better questions, more intellectual, and just. Just ask more questions, be more inquisitive on things instead of going like, yeah, right. You know, like, really get in to things.

[A]

Second scenarios.

[E]

Just like, in general, I think I take things for how people will tell them to me, and I don't ask them more about them. Like, if you're like, you know, I've really been enjoying the gym, I'll be like, oh, that's really cool.

[C]

Good for you.

[E]

That would be, like, my response instead of being like, really?

[A]

That's cool.

[E]

When did you start going, you know, like, asking a better question. Gavining or benter view or bentervy? I. I probably would prefer more towards the benter view, but, you know, we'll take what we can. Second thing would be, no, I want to, like. Like, eliminate social media at home. I don't want to do it much here, but I don't have a Problem with scrolling here too much because we're working. But when I get at home, sometimes it's just really easy to like just hit a scroll.

[A]

Digging into your TV time.

[E]

Yeah, it's taking, it's digging into my fortnite time and my TV really gotta.

[C]

Like make the most of your, your episodes.

[E]

Yeah, big screen time. I want to have big screen time.

[C]

Not absorb all of it.

[E]

But yeah, that's my less.

[B]

It's not like, like I really. Any of us are going to be monitoring that, nor will we be like, Ryan, what are you doing? But I'm just curious, like what would you implement to like do that?

[E]

Just normally when I'm. I pick up my phone and start scrolling on it, just not do it.

[D]

Yeah, Ryan, I love how you said that because that's exactly what I was thinking when Mike asked, like, what elaborate contraption you're gonna have to keep you from doing it. You're just like, I'm just gonna like not do it.

[B]

I think I've done it a few times where I, I'll. I'll drop my phone in the drawer of my desk and I kind of.

[E]

Know when you put it away.

[B]

Right. But then so many times I've ran down the stairs for something that's happening and it's not like I need to be filming this, but it's just like I need to.

[E]

How is my Snapchat gonna know?

[B]

Yeah, like, like you're. You find some. Oh, I've been looking for that. And then you like need to send a picture of it to your friend or to update them on something and then like, oh, well, I find I. I intentionally left my phone up there.

[E]

And now you're behind.

[B]

Yeah, now you're just like, well, if I would have just brought it with me.

[A]

My issue with that is whenever I try and do that and then I unsilence it, it's like, holy World War III just broke.

[E]

Oh, every time.

[A]

Every time. And then I'm like, I got a lot to catch up on. And then I'm like almost more. More stressed of like.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

Sorry I missed all this whole conversation, but here's my. Yeah, two cents in it.

[E]

But I think a lot of times I go, what's happening in the group chat? I pick it up, up. It's like one question and then the phone's open and then you just.

[C]

I see a lot more value in that in saying like just automatically at 10 o' clock your phone goes on. Do not disturb. Not like a location. Specific. Just like a time specific 10 o'.

[D]

Clock.

[C]

I am just unavailable.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like you guys already are. Because I send so many texts in our group.

[D]

You're the latest.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

You're the last.

[C]

I'll see something like 12.

[B]

Dude.

[A]

I'm just like laying in bed and something comes to mind. I'm just like, like, grab my phone. Like pretty much every single night, try and go to bed. My brain starts going. I grab my phone. Like still, like with my eyes closed. I'll feel around on my nightstand, grab my phone, and then just fire off a text to you guys.

[B]

I always wondered what it was, which.

[E]

I appreciate, cuz I just wake up to it. And then in the morning, I just handle whatever.

[D]

I figured you were up sitting at your desk with a cup of tea, fully alert. So it's nice to know that you were also tired.

[B]

I mean, obviously, like, I'm awake when you send most of them and like, sometimes.

[A]

Because you are the only one that ever responds. I know.

[B]

Yeah, I was like, sometimes I respond and then other times I might just be like, well, I'm in night mode, so I don't. I mean, I'll admit that. And then other times, Ben's firing such an insane or such a good or such an elaborate idea that it's just like. Like I read it and I think about it. I'm just like, we're gonna get back to that one.

[D]

I love. Yeah. The two screen, two full scroll plans at like 11:30 y.

[A]

It's more times than not I spent.

[C]

10 minutes typing this thing out.

[D]

And then most of us that are tired have to read it four times just to figure out what you said.

[A]

Most of it. It's got so many spelling errors and typos too. I'm. I'm typing it one eye open.

[D]

Say you're pretty. In depth with your text. Like you're pretty. Yeah, I just say, what's up?

[A]

I just start firing ideas when I am trying to go to bed, and then I just. I don't want to forget them. I don't want to forget them. And I also get excited about them and I want to share the excitement with you guys, hoping that you'll reciprocate the excitement and be excited with me. And then 98% of the time, it just goes up unanswered. Well, hey, until the next morning. And I follow up, like, schedule it. So did you guys. Hey, I'm not gonna start scheduling text Gavin. I don't know.

[E]

Text all the time.

[A]

I don't even know how that you can learn about. I would say you can schedule a text feature.

[B]

It's nice.

[C]

You push the plus button, scroll down the schedule, send, tell it the time you time and day you want it to send.

[A]

I need to start doing that for people like our accountant. Exactly, banker. Because I, I do the same to them too. Honestly, I do the same. Like I'll fire off ideas way too late at night. But the thing is, is I always say if they don't like receiving text like this, I don't think that we're a good match of for sure, like being in business together, like things like that. And I think about that too with like our other business partners or like things like that. I'm like, eh, I don't care. Because Greta's always on me of like, don't you think this is like super unprofessional and like not what you should be doing late at night of like bothering other people?

[D]

And I'm like professional.

[A]

I'm like, I get that Greta. And I always, I tell her the same thing. I go, if they get annoyed by my late night ideas that benefit all of us, like to, you know, whatever we're doing, then I don't want to, to. I don't want to be in business with them or be affiliated with 99.

[C]

We're not on the same wavelength 99% of the time. They always respond by 8am the next morning.

[D]

Right.

[B]

And it is a little different if you have like an idea or something. Like you really need to tell them regardless of what time it is. But I, I did think that like the scheduled text is like a good way to like our insurance agent is our friend and I'll text her at whatever time. And then I just. That's when I first started scheduling texts. I'm like, I guess I don't need to text her at Sunday at 8pm or whatever. But I find it really nice when they do respond. And then people are always like, you're always talking about insurance, like when we're out at the bar or something. But I'm like, well, it's a good time to get her done.

[A]

I'm sure a lot of people are like that though. You just like your, your brain starts working as soon as you start going to bed. And that's usually when I try and capitalize on it.

[D]

Trying to think if I could use this scheduling platform to mess with Big Rent.

[A]

Text him that, you know who I'm gonna do this to? I'm gonna schedule a text to go, go to Dave. Sherbrooke at 3am and just go, you up. And then he'll probably be up and then I gotta send a follow up and just be like, been working for two hours now. Was just wondering if you were getting at it already because he's like the big, like, oh, if you're not up at 4am working, you're a lazy kind of guy.

[B]

You can basically send it from like a year from now.

[D]

I want to sit down for 20 minutes and schedule out five months worth of text to Big Wrench every asking, what jetting for my 97 yz250 just randomly at 4am he'll be up at that time too.

[E]

Well, thought you were gonna say everybody's birthdays be lit. You just get all your birthday texts out of the way for the year.

[A]

That's a good idea, bro.

[E]

I've been saying this for AI. If. If someone texts you, hey, bro, send me that picture from last night. AI, your app, your phone should just pull it up and just say, do you want to send this picture?

[D]

It might pull up the wrong picture from last night.

[E]

You're right. But it knows that if Ben texts me, Ben's in the picture.

[A]

Ruin Evan's life.

[B]

All right, I just scheduled a text to you, Evan, that says you up at 11:59 on December 31st.

[E]

Hell yeah.

[D]

Oh, I will be.

[E]

It's New Year's.

[D]

I will be. I'll be noodled, but I'll be up.

[B]

Oh, come on now.

[A]

You gotta go on your phone right now and schedule a text. Text at 12 o', clock, 1201 on January 1, 2026, and just be like, yeah, bro, what's up? And then you just schedule a text.

[E]

Oh my God. Oh my gosh.

[B]

You know, that's just silly. But I. I like it because, because.

[D]

You know what, we can milk this out, but by 1203 or 4, I want to say happy New Year's.

[B]

Well, you. You could schedule that.

[D]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

Yo, that's actually a pretty funny idea. What if you did that with Big Wrench, where you schedule a text, just like at noon you ask him a question, and then at like 12:20 you send him a follow up question to that, but in kind of like a condescending. Yeah, condescending. Assuming this is what he's gonna say and see how long every 15 minutes gets in increments.

[D]

I just want to ask him tasks like I want to pick a day four months from now to go get spark plugs at L M and then.

[A]

And then, hey, how good does it feel when you walk into the. Into the shop? He goes, got you those spark plugs.

[D]

Some reason I needed a half a dozen BR9s in. In August.

[A]

And you go, you go, oh, wow, Big ranch. How inconvenient was this for you to go and grab? And he's gonna go, pretty inconvenient. I wasn't planning on going to town, but I figured it's pretty bad. If you needed them at 5am you'd be like, perfect. Remember that sticker you put on my door handle?

[E]

Well, boys, that's.

[A]

What a crazy way to. To utilize scheduling.

[C]

Thank you for an amazing year, guys. We love every single one of you. And thank you for everything, for watching all of our content.

[B]

Let's go. 2025 was the best year of my life, and I hope your guys is too. I mean, it wouldn't be possible at all without you guys watching the podcast, listen to us talk every week, and watching the crazy videos that we've been putting out all year. So appreciative of everyone. That was not as nearly as good as Ken's.

[A]

All right, boys. Peace. We'll see you in 2026. Actually, he's not gonna make it. He pissed his pants. He pissed his pants. He actually pissed his. He pissed his pants.

[B]

Wait, dude, he ran out of here like there was something wrong.
