[Dalton]

C. Details.

[Evan]

I'm engaged now.

[Ryan]

Congratulations.

[Dalton]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

It worked, dude.

[Evan]

Yeah, it worked. If anyone was wondering how it went, it worked, dude. It was. It was fun. It was nerve wracking. And it was a windy day and normally we'd be outside chilling and she's just in sweatpants and a big T shirt and she's like, why'd we even come to the lake? It's like not very nice out. I'm like, yeah, yeah, you're right. Wanna watch a movie? And then her friend came over and I was like, you got. You got a plan, right? So like, get her to get ready. I'll ask her if she wants to go to eat. And she's like, nah, I'm good.

[Dalton]

Oh, no, no.

[Evan]

And so I really did not know what to do, so I just kind of panicked and like ran away for like 25 minutes. And then like, put my nice shirt on. And then she's like, where are you? Like, I'm just hanging out outside. And then she came down and I was like, she's like, what are you doing? And then I was like, you should go put something nice on. And then I'm sure that gave it away.

[Dalton]

She kind of felt like you had said it was like gonna be this summer.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

And you waited until the last official weekend of summer. So I feel like she was like.

[Evan]

She packed two big bags of pretty much just clothes. That says a lot.

[Dalton]

Yeah, she was ready.

[Evan]

The best part was obviously doing it that she said yes. The other best part was Dalton was in a ghillie suit in the bushes for two hours. At least two hours. But he's like, I want to be early. I don't want to be ruffling around in there. He's in a full ghillie suit. He's got the one camera on the tripod for the video and he's shooting photos. Luckily it was windy, cuz, like, yeah, couldn't hear him. But oh, true. He killed the game as he does.

[Dalton]

How long were was he in the ghillie suit for? How long was he sitting in the woods?

[Evan]

He's. I think he slept in that.

[Ryan]

I had to shower with sandpaper to get Evan's stench of his room. Oh, yeah.

[Dalton]

Oh, because that's where the ghillie suit was.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was in his closet. It was.

[Dalton]

It was horrible. What's he doing with that ghillie suit in his closet?

[Evan]

Oh, that's. There's two closets in Evan's room, and one is his, and one is just for Seaboy's costumes and. And gear full. Yeah, we have a lot of. Yeah, a lot of costumes in there. One of them being the ghillie suit.

[Dalton]

I'm just impressed you found it. And that was a good idea.

[Evan]

It was.

[Dalton]

Because how do you hide a photographer in. I feel like any proposal now you have to have pictures of it happening. You know, the candid photos of it happening. So to hide a guy in a ghillie suit in the woods was a pretty freaking good idea.

[Mike]

I think that's, like, the definition of going all out. You're in the ghillie suit in the church, in the woods. Like, the only thing that would have made a difference if you would have climbed a tree. But, like, you were in that thing for two hours. Dude. I don't expect anything less out of Dalton. Not that Mike even asked him necessarily to go that hard, but I just. You ask him to do something, he's gonna go hard. That's just what he does.

[Ryan]

I think my favorite part of the whole thing was Dalton's Snapchat saying, this is the only. I know. That'd be late to his own proposal.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Because Mike is late to everything.

[Evan]

But I. And I, like, agree and can absolutely laugh at that. But also, like, doesn't really make sense. Like, when you're doing something like that, it doesn't always go to plan.

[Dalton]

Yeah. And it's not right at, like, a. It's not like, a hard deadline. 508.

[Evan]

Yeah. The only thing that was a hard deadline was when everyone was coming over. That's what I was most nervous for. I mean, a handful of people were even waiting at the end of the driveway for over half an hour. Just like, obviously, we're not going to pull up before it happens.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I know. Everyone was like, well, should we just go over there? Like, my mom and dad. So from my side, I'm trying to coordinate everybody there so we could have a nice little after party with all the friends. Everyone's like, all right, when should we come? And then. So I'm texting Sydney's friend Tess. I'm like, what's going on? And Tess is like, I don't know. Sydney's taking forever to get ready. And so it really wasn't your fault that you were late to the proposal. Late.

[Evan]

And then. Yeah, Tess even said, sydney's being so nonchalant, like, when she's getting ready. But then Tess did tell her, what is he doing? And she's like, I have no idea. So, you know, she's obviously not like, hurry up. Yeah, get dressed.

[Dalton]

Yeah. It's like, how do you tell someone? Like, all right, go, go. But, yeah, it was pretty funny. And so we're all sitting at the end of the driveway, like, staged up on the road, so then we could come and set the party up.

[Mike]

Just a caravan.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it was pretty awesome, though.

[Evan]

Like, the little afterparty we had was. That's why we're so tight. I mean, we work together, but we're also just like, straight family. And it felt like that.

[Mike]

Yeah, that was fun.

[Evan]

That was really fun. Went out on the pontoon afterwards and just had a night.

[Dalton]

Played Duck Duck Goose.

[Evan]

Played Duck Duck, Goose. Dude, the bonfire was just.

[Ryan]

People are like, wait, are we talking about the same game? Duck, Duck, Goose.

[Dalton]

Yeah, like the one where you on.

[Ryan]

The ground and then you run around.

[Evan]

Some of you may call it duck, duck, Gray duck, but you're.

[Mike]

Dude, people are, like, falling and, like, Gavin's got a bad T. He broke my tailbone.

[Ryan]

You.

[Dalton]

You sprained your pinky?

[Mike]

I fell and I went to catch myself, and I just. Like, you can. It's not nearly as swollen anymore, but it's still bigger.

[Dalton]

But. Yeah, it is, actually.

[Mike]

Couldn't really bend it for, like, a.

[Ryan]

Couple weeks, but Ken sat that one out, which I think he was smart. Good idea. Again.

[Ken]

Even Ryan's dad took a pretty tough tumble playing that.

[Mike]

The grass was just slick, man. And we were, you know, lubricated up and we were really, like, running hard.

[Dalton]

Yeah. I guess it is really a children's game. I guess you finally hit a time where you're just maybe just a little bit too frail. Yeah, no, that's for sure. I don't know if anybody caught anybody. No, we were also. We're also on, like, the same athletic playing field I think some people might think is an insult and some people might be a compliment.

[Ken]

I think two people got caught in the entire hour.

[Dalton]

Yeah, that we played. But it was a good time. It was. It was a. It was a good day. It was exciting day.

[Mike]

Big day. Yeah. Congrats, Mike.

[Evan]

Thank you on more good news. We just got back from heydays and it was flipping awesome.

[Dalton]

It was insane.

[Evan]

I am so thankful for everyone who can make it out. I wish we could do more meet and greets. I wish we could do more outside of Minnesota. Some people drove very far for it, but we really do do it big there.

[Ryan]

Yeah, somebody drove from California.

[Dalton]

That's California.

[Ryan]

California.

[Dalton]

We are not close to California. We're like, as far from everything as you can possibly be if you don't live in the Midwest, man.

[Ryan]

I'm honored. But you didn't have anything better to do?

[Mike]

No, nothing better to do. The man, dude.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was cool.

[Evan]

And that was, you know, we started asking questions, okay, well, do you have family up here or what? And he's just like, no, I just really wanted to meet you guys.

[Mike]

He was doing it, dude. That was.

[Ryan]

That was crazy.

[Mike]

But I mean, like, look at this video of us on the truck here. So rowdy.

[Dalton]

Everyone just going nuts being up on that truck with that happening. Like, everything we do, you know, even like a Instagram or Snapchat story, there's a lot of people that view it, but when you get a thousand or a couple thousand people in front of you, it's. It's intimidating, it's scary, but it's also electric, you know, buzzing. After that.

[Mike]

I normally get pretty nervous, like, speaking in front of a large group of people, but I wasn't nervous at all for that, really. Like, I wasn't. I was just in, like, a flow state. I was just, like, doing it and just talking, whatever, and they did great.

[Dalton]

I don't know.

[Mike]

It was easy. Like, they kind of already know you and you kind of know them in a sense, you know, like, it just feels like you're in front of your friends, but it was a group of random ass people that didn't even know who I was or only, like, kind of. Maybe that's true.

[Evan]

I don't know.

[Mike]

Just the fact that they're all there, like, you know, that pumped. I just kind of was like, it just felt like you're talking to your homies, even though there was a bunch of them.

[Ryan]

Dude, every time that I meet our fans, I'm always just reminded, like, how respectful they are. Well, Ken might say otherwise. Ken might say otherwise.

[Ken]

Some words to say.

[Evan]

I was like, let's hear it all.

[Ryan]

For the most part, they are very, very respectful.

[Ken]

There was a number of people that took the liberty that they were going to finger draw some things on the dust in my truck, and I got Pretty hot from that I haven't seen multiple times.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I haven't seen you that heated about anything in well over a year.

[Mike]

Couple years.

[Dalton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ken]

I mean, it's just like you don't do that to people's vehicles. You don't just draw on them in the dust. Yeah, I think it's totally fine. It's got full PPF on it, but it's just like a typical car thing. You do not touch or draw on.

[Ryan]

People'S cars for the most part. Like most people know that, but obviously there. There was a fair share of. I don't even want to say kids because like there was like full grown adults doing it.

[Ken]

Yeah, that was the thing that pissed me off the most was the. The 30 year old man that was drawing on my. My car.

[Ryan]

I mean, that's just crazy.

[Evan]

You're gonna fight me too, dude.

[Mike]

He like kind of stuff.

[Evan]

He kind of. He backed up and then eventually ran.

[Ryan]

Did you guys see the Tick Tock?

[Evan]

No, I haven't.

[Dalton]

Let me see.

[Ken]

I've heard of it. I haven't seen.

[Mike]

Let me see it. What? It's another him freaking out of people.

[Evan]

I was trying to find.

[Ryan]

No, somebody got it.

[Evan]

I'm not on like C Boys. Tick Tock. Like none of that comes up on my for you page. But I really wanted to see it here.

[Ryan]

Can get in here?

[Mike]

Yeah, you better be on camera to see it. Look at all these kids drawn on it.

[Dalton]

So the funny thing is. Oh. Oh, wow.

[Evan]

Wait.

[Ken]

They were fully getting in there.

[Evan]

They're almost like not even drunk. They're just like having their way with the car no matter what.

[Ryan]

I'm pretty sure that people don't look at a cybertruck as like an actual vehicle. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they think it's just like in their imagination, you know, so they're just like doing this, right? They don't realize that it's an actual truck. Like, people straight up don't think that. I don't know if that's cybertrucks are real or that cyber truck drivers have feelings. Like, like how often does somebody come up to you and say something about your truck? Somebody in like a negative manner.

[Ken]

When every time I go out, like, leave the cormorant area. And I've never had a vehicle where people are just so blatantly rude about it. Like, wow, that is the ugliest vehicle I've ever seen.

[Dalton]

And you're just like, thank you. That's my car. What's like, you should say to theirs. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yours is probably, like, the second ugliest.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Wow.

[Ken]

That Silverado you have out there is bone stock.

[Dalton]

Wow.

[Ken]

How lame.

[Dalton]

I mean, yeah, like, that's the thing. People are so freaking rude to Ken about his cybertruck, and it blows me away every time. It's like. It's like there's such this Internet meme or, like, thing that it's like, you say it's fake. It's like, yeah, they. They aren't real.

[Ryan]

Yep.

[Dalton]

And Ken isn't real.

[Ryan]

Okay, so pull up the TikTok.

[Dalton]

Oh, yeah. You can tell it got cut a little short because I think the kid got really scared, because the way that Ken comes up to, like, the kid is intense. Because you did this. How many times do you think you, like, yelled at somebody?

[Ken]

Probably 10.

[Dalton]

So another time.

[Mike]

Pretty funny.

[Dalton]

It was on Tik Tok, and then I. We commented on it, and I, like, laughed, and he was just taking a video of someone else doing it, and then he deleted it. So I'm really not sure why. Don't do that.

[Ken]

Do not do that.

[Dalton]

Don't draw me.

[Ryan]

Oh, what do you.

[Dalton]

Okay, hold on.

[Ryan]

It's so hot. So, dude. Okay, so that. That video has almost a million views.

[Mike]

Does it?

[Ryan]

Yeah. Where on TikTok?

[Mike]

Going viral. Ken. But.

[Dalton]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan]

But the thing about it, there isn't a single comment that, like, doesn't have Ken's side.

[Dalton]

Yeah, they're. They're, like, riding with.

[Ryan]

Taking his side or car.

[Ken]

People are very protective over their cars, and you just don't do that to cars.

[Ryan]

The top comment is just don't mess with Ken.

[Evan]

I've been giving it some thought, and you actually made a great point. Like, there's a. An aura around cyber trucks. And then also, unfortunately, the crowd was so big that the line took more than an hour, sometimes up to two, sometimes longer. And so when you're standing in line for that long, and I'm not justifying it by any means, but you just get. Some of the younger kids are just, like, kicking, you know, so bored or whatever. Just waiting, waiting, antsy.

[Dalton]

You're, like, excited for this moment. Yeah.

[Evan]

And so there's kind of, like, that part about it, and I'm just like, maybe. Did we ask for this? Like, I don't like. Because you go to the other booths, and if kids were riding on the. Any of the cars in any of the other booths, it'd just be actually uncalled for. But is it because we had such a big crowd and just so many people.

[Ken]

But they didn't draw on the Ford.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they got it out of their system.

[Evan]

That's true.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

What the hell, man?

[Ryan]

I mean my, my Lamborghini's gotten drawn on every year. My Corvette got drawn on. Like, I know how you feel, Ken.

[Dalton]

Did you yell at the kids too?

[Ryan]

I went up to one kid and I, I just said like, don't do that.

[Evan]

What are you doing?

[Dalton]

I think it's tough too. One person does it and then now all of a sudden it looks like this drawing board. Cuz there's a bunch of other stuff.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's it. Straight up. Looks like a drawing board. I don't know if you guys got a good look at it.

[Evan]

I got, I got a video before I actually didn't.

[Ken]

And it's completely covered.

[Evan]

Like.

[Dalton]

Like, oh my God, look at this.

[Evan]

Yeah. No, the whole car.

[Dalton]

There's just one that says gay with a dick. Like they just wrote that, dude. But my favorite part about the whole SC is to get to that point in line. You're waiting about two hours. So you stand in line for two hours waiting for that. You got an hour left. You're just finally getting near the booth and Ken comes up and yells at you. And then you have an hour to stand in line. Fuck. I'm going to go meet this guy and he's going to be there. One of you remembers me?

[Ken]

Like, there was one kid I. He claimed he didn't draw on it, but I watched him draw on it and I remembered the shirt and the hat combo and I was like. And I followed him like snake his way up there and he's like, no, it wasn't me.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Ken, you did double down on that kid. But he was pretty persistent.

[Ken]

I watched him do it.

[Ryan]

It wasn't me.

[Ken]

I watched him do it. And I remembered the hat.

[Dalton]

This guy actually. Oh my. Like he's a full grown ass man. Like, I'll give the kids some slack.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Like you're a grown adult.

[Ryan]

Don't be doing that hot time people.

[Dalton]

Like I keep right away was like, oh, yeah, you're right. Came back to reality. But that is funny.

[Evan]

What you got? What's he got?

[Ryan]

Like little mini donuts.

[Dalton]

No, cheese curds. Cheese curds in the dew.

[Mike]

Oh my gosh, Ken, it was really funny watching you go after the people. Honestly, they were, they deserved it. I agree.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It doesn't matter if it's a cyber truck. Shouldn't do that. Luckily I will say in which is in your favor is like your car's PPF and It's a cyber truck. Like, they can hit it with bats.

[Dalton]

And, yeah, it's literally fine.

[Ken]

It's totally fine. But it's, like, just the principle. Don't do that to people's cars. It's so disrespectful.

[Dalton]

Yeah, man. I haven't seen that fired up in a long time, bro.

[Mike]

When you watch that video, you can see how hot he's. Because red.

[Ken]

I was so hot. Like, I was pissed off, and I looked over, and I was. I was watching the kids.

[Ryan]

No, the whole time, Ken was. He was straight up seeing red. I was scary. And then some. Some kid put Ben on there, so it looked like I was signing it too.

[Ken]

Of course, somebody did write a phone number on my car, and I did sign them up for a few different, like, scams.

[Ryan]

So, Ken, that sold payback.

[Dalton]

Just enter their number in, like, an insurance quote.

[Ken]

No, that's. That's what I did.

[Dalton]

Because they just constantly call you. They never quit calling you.

[Mike]

That's some true revenge there, Ken.

[Dalton]

You thought that one out.

[Ken]

It's definitely not that. It's definitely one of their friends, but it's still just. It feels good, bro.

[Mike]

We were standing there for seven hours, right. Taking pictures, and the whole time, every time I looked at Kenny was just, like, looking at his cyber truck for seven hours, basically.

[Ken]

Like, it wasn't until. It wasn't until, like, noon that I think it really started getting going of people driving.

[Mike]

So five hours, then.

[Dalton]

Yeah. So only five hours of having to deal with people writing on it. I think learn some lessons. Maybe we'll just not use a car as a. As a thing for the line.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

I wanted people. I'm like. They stand in line for so long. I. I just want to give them something to look at, you know, we're like, be a part of the booth so they could see it. But maybe. Maybe a car wasn't the best idea. Apparently not. Ken's truck.

[Ken]

It's a learning experience.

[Dalton]

So did the kids.

[Ryan]

Ken's gonna bubble wrap.

[Mike]

I knew they were gonna. I knew they were gonna touch the Jeter. That's why I picked up the caution tape and everything that was. Not a single person touched it.

[Ken]

I think one finger swipe I saw on the wing.

[Dalton]

That could have been for me, probably, like, loading it or something like that. We'll take that. Do you guys ever remember a time when you were a kid and you taught, like, before you.

[Mike]

My dad would get mad. Yeah. I knew at a very early age.

[Dalton]

Yeah. That I remember being very, very young, and I drew. My dad had this blue Chevy or GMC pickup, and I drew, like, I love you, dad or something like that in it. You know, something like, I was just trying to be like a kid, you know? And he was. He wasn't like that at all. But I rem. That was the moment I learned that you do not touch a dirty car, you know, and, like, draw on it.

[Mike]

To be fair, though, at the same time, like, we're pretty hard on our stuff. So, like, they see that and think that they probably don't care at all.

[Dalton]

It's true. I was. Honestly, I was surprised that you cared that much, but it's just the principle.

[Ken]

You just don't do that to stuff.

[Dalton]

I did get to squash some beef at heydays, which was, I think, good. It was fake beef, but I did get to squash some bees.

[Mike]

Have beef with.

[Dalton]

Well, we. And honestly, kind of more like the. The people who watch us, I think, had beef with him.

[Evan]

Talking about Austin Cruiser, Oscar Cruiser. Gosh, it was great.

[Mike]

I've been over here, dude.

[Ryan]

What are you talking about right now? You had beef with Austin Cruz?

[Dalton]

No, I just told you. I got to squash before our community of people who watch us.

[Ryan]

I didn't know our community had beef with Austin Cruz.

[Dalton]

Really?

[Evan]

I would say not, no, currently.

[Ryan]

What are you talking about?

[Mike]

Yeah, he's came over to our shop.

[Ryan]

He's been here before.

[Evan]

I know. We. I wasn't there either for that, but I did the same with his wife. I. I, like, she kind of had, like. It's great to finally meet you. Yeah, you. You go ahead. But the. The fake beef of the jet ski jump.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[Dalton]

I was like, geez, come on, man.

[Evan]

Do you guys not remember that?

[Ryan]

I don't.

[Evan]

Okay. Okay.

[Dalton]

Every time that jet ski jump gets posted, everybody goes. He was copying Seaboard. Seaboard at first, which is slightly inaccurate. Fully inaccurate. Because he did it first.

[Evan]

Oh, wait. And I was like, kind of on the other page, where. When. When we. This is way back. Just remembering when we. It. Everyone's like, nice jump. Austin Cruiser kind of already did that.

[Dalton]

And he landed it.

[Evan]

Yeah. And then we're just like, man, I.

[Ryan]

Totally forgot about that.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I just remember seeing that video. And then we were like, oh, damn, we've wanted to do that.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Like, it's possible.

[Evan]

Exactly. And that's obviously how it goes. We've explained that before. Where you can do something if somebody already did it. Sometimes when the idea is really original and huge and maybe costs a lot of money, and then you do the same Thing probably pretty Cheeto, but if it's just something like, I want to jump a jet ski over a road too, then go do it, dude.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Who gives a shit?

[Dalton]

Yeah. And he had a good point. He goes, you know, I probably wasn't the first guy to ever jump a jet ski over a road.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

He goes. But I did have. I was the first one on video, I guess.

[Evan]

So.

[Dalton]

It is kind of funny.

[Evan]

Dude. He is. That was my first time meeting him. He's hilarious. One just his Canadian accents funny, but, like, the energy out of this guy. He's laughing and has all the energy, like, so. I swear he has more energy than any of us.

[Ryan]

Well, I think that might be for a reason.

[Dalton]

He. We went out, we took the Sherp to the party. Yeah. And he. He wasn't drinking, but he was slamming Red Bulls. I think we went like one to one on Tony's to Red Bull.

[Ryan]

I said, he saw him drink four Red Bulls.

[Evan]

Yeah. It was.

[Dalton]

Every time he had a fresh Red Bull, I was like, dude, this guy is on it. It was awesome.

[Evan]

And he was. Yeah. We let. We like, pulled up to the big afterparty in the shirt, and I'm like, this is how to do it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

And he's like, should we just run over the fence? Hey.

[Dalton]

He was so. Yeah. It was awesome.

[Ryan]

Well, I'm glad that you guys got that beef squash.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it was good. So I think we got to go up to Canada and do mudding.

[Ryan]

I told him that. I was like, dude, we got to come up. Our buddy Gavin, three wheeler. Gavin was just up there. Looked like a great time.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I was like, bro, yeah, sign us up.

[Dalton]

I think that's, like one of the only things, like, I think Canada has lots of really crazy rules with whatever the president guy named Trudeau people don't like. But in Minnesota, if you so much as touch a swamp or a cattail, it's like, straight to jail.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

But up in Canada, they just let you rip it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And it's.

[Dalton]

It does.

[Ryan]

That is like such a Canadian thing.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You must.

[Evan]

We got to go and make it happen.

Pretty happy about. I'm getting it framed right now.

[Dalton]

Oh, really? Yeah, printed out big.

[Mike]

Just like. Well, one big one. And then, like, one. Just like a. Like a smaller one for my office wallets. Probably not too late to add that to the order, but.

[Ken]

Yeah, you put it on your, like, visor.

[Dalton]

Yeah, I was gonna say, get the little thing. Put your visor.

[Mike]

God, she's just such a nice lady.

[Dalton]

Brought us cookies and everything.

[Ken]

Best cookies.

[Evan]

Too much salt in those things, man.

[Dalton]

Really?

[Mike]

Yeah, I love them.

[Dalton]

Maybe they may like the cookies.

[Mike]

So Alex liked the cookies so much that she took them home. She took, like, part of them home.

[Dalton]

No, that's what the cookies said.

[Evan]

That. I said that for Evan because he's just like, oh, Everyone always rants and raves about her cookies. And I say, it's my grandma's recipe. It's too much damn salt in those things. As I'm eating it, I'm like, of.

[Dalton]

Course he doesn't like.

[Evan]

Yes, there is.

[Ryan]

Of course he does.

[Evan]

Way too much salt in these things.

[Mike]

But it was funny when we were sitting there and, like, meeting the, like, just fans and stuff, People were like, hey, Evan, you're Cheeto. Like, some people are like, just like, kind of attacking him in that way, like, against him. And then like, there are some people that would come up and like, you could tell. Like, they just want to be like Evan. Or like, they want to just say whatever, like, to please him and kind of get on his side.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

This kid comes up, he goes. He shakes all of her hands, talks all of us. And then Evan's the last one at the end of the line. He goes, hey, Evan. And by the way, I agree. Everything's Cheeto. And then he just walks away like this. Like, everything. Yeah, everything's Joe. And I look at Evan, I go, do you see what you're starting? Everything's Cheeto now.

[Dalton]

Everything.

[Ryan]

But the way he said it just.

[Mike]

Is like, vibe and demeanor. He's like, everything's Cheetos. Everything is Cheeto. And he just walks away.

[Dalton]

Kind of like raising punk kids.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's just a pessimist to the world right there.

[Evan]

It really is funny. There's. There's a lot of. I mean, I'm just getting force fed hot dogs by kids and homies of all ages.

[Dalton]

I know, dude. I'm glad. Like, I don't have, like, my thing now, you know? Like, Ken's apparently drawn on his truck. Evans is Cheetos, so he gets lots of Cheetos. You got hot dogs. I missed lunch.

[Evan]

I can't believe you looped that in there. And I was Ken's. That's Ken thing now.

[Dalton]

Sorry don't with this car. But I was like, damn. You know, like, I wish. I wish someone would bring me something.

[Mike]

They brought you a couple mountains.

[Dalton]

I got two Mountain Dews.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah, there's. Yeah. Yep.

[Mike]

I got a hockey jersey. That is cool jersey. That was nice. A nice note. Evan got Cheetos. Cheetos. And then they'd say, you're a Cheeto.

[Ken]

You got all three sizes of Cheetos. Like the fun size and like the full bag.

[Evan]

No, he didn't actually. I took one of the bags home. Well, you don't want these. Wow. Evan Loves Cheetos. He just, he just had a lot. I also love Cheetos, man. Cheetos. Cheetos are so good. Super hot fire Cheetos, whatever. Those are flaming hot.

[Ryan]

Yeah, Cheetos are making a comeback. You're sponsoring Evans Wrap or.

[Evan]

It's like whenever. Yeah, whenever I hear people that are like, I don't really like Cheetos. Like, I don't like Cheetos, I don't eat them. I'm like, what? It's just like a pastime. Like Cheetos are Cheetos, man. They're not Cheetos.

[Ryan]

The thing about like the super hot Cheetos is once you start eating them, you like, can't stop eating them because like, then your mouth is on fire and like the only thing that like cools your mouth down is like another Cheeto.

[Evan]

I don't even know if it's real. You know, like the red 40 and all. They're really good. And then the next day you just hate your life on the toilet and you're like, what is the point of hot Cheetos?

[Dalton]

I mean, Ben, you're a year out now from your appendix being out. Do you miss spicy food? I know you miss a lot of things, but.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I miss spicy food so much, Ryan. Cuz you were big on the spicy food guy.

[Evan]

I heard you talking about the other day too. I. I assumed you did. You loved putting hot sauce and spicy food. You loved it.

[Ryan]

Dude, I used to put hot sauce on.

[Evan]

You weren't even out yet. You were like, let's just started, dude, saying you were like getting hotter and hotter, but you were just like hot sauce on. This is perfect. And this, with this hot sauce is so good.

[Ken]

Dude, it was special ordering, like extreme hot sauces.

[Evan]

Yeah, that was happening too.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, I'm still on the hot sauce. Why do you think that it's bad for you being on hot sauce?

[Ryan]

I don't know. I mean, Justin loved hot sauce, lost his appendix. Me loved hot sauce, lost my appendix.

[Mike]

I love hot sauce. I have quite a bit of hot sauce all the time.

[Dalton]

Do you still have your appendix?

[Mike]

Yeah. Well, cj, it's a little alarming. Like, is there a. Is that actually like a possible thing that comes with like super hot sauces?

[Ryan]

It's hard to say, but yeah. No, I miss hot sauce so much, Ryan.

[Dalton]

Sorry to bring it up. That's on me. It's just the year anniversary of it and I figured.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Happy one year anniversary to my body.

[Dalton]

To your appendix. Last thing about heydays, our buddy Taryn was out in the swaps, which is like the swap meet side of things. It gets to be a bit of a party late at night. And so he was watching this guy rev bomb his bike and got absolutely clobbered by it.

[Ryan]

I mean, shot in the crossfires.

[Dalton]

Yes. And so it happened. And he was telling me about it in the morning, and then this video started circulating around, and they're like, wait, that's Taryn. And so it got back to him, and he sent it to me. I'm gonna skip forward because it's basically just no way.

[Ryan]

Here he is in the red jacket.

[Dalton]

In the red jacket back here.

[Evan]

So it's a huge crowd. He was just. Just legit in the crossfire.

[Dalton]

Someone hit the ship just running the crap out of this thing.

[Evan]

Yeah, someone definitely came and shifted that thing.

[Ryan]

Look at.

[Dalton]

So happy. He's so happy.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[Dalton]

Slow motion, dude. Oh. I mean, he's just not in a defensive position at all. Tony in hand, phone in the other.

[Ryan]

Oh, he got in the nuts.

[Dalton]

He got bluish shades off his head, bro.

[Ken]

Instead of, like, caught him open.

[Ryan]

Why'd they cut the camera?

[Evan]

Okay. Also, I'm pretty sure you can't see it, but it looks kind of like the guy that was standing on the bike was one of shit.

[Mike]

He accidentally shipped it up.

[Dalton]

Yeah, he said it was all cool. They, like, talked about it afterwards. But yeah, he. It goes so fast from right there to just.

[Ryan]

Bro.

[Mike]

Oh, man, that's really funny.

[Dalton]

He. He has, like, a huge cut on his leg. It was like. It almost, like, cut off his balls, dude.

[Ryan]

That's why he should never stand in front of a rev. Bombed out bike.

[Dalton]

I know. I was like, dude, that one's kind of on you, man.

[Mike]

Standing there smiling, videoing it. Next thing you know, he's looking on his phone. It's getting closer and closer.

[Dalton]

Just pit.

[Ryan]

Does he have a video?

[Dalton]

I was like, where's your video of it?

[Mike]

Dude, that is so funny.

[Dalton]

Yeah. I mean, it just is awful. And then Chase sent me a video of the same party where some guys jump a dirt bike and they're riding two up, but then the one guy gets knocked out, and it's just. It's just not really. Yeah, it's pretty bad. I watched it. Now I got a Nicky feeling, so I don't even want to make you guys watch it and have a Nicky feeling, too.

[Ryan]

Oh, man, I'm so glad that I went to bed and didn't partake in any of those activities.

[Evan]

Did you yeah, that would have been a shame.

[Ryan]

Actually, I went to bed because last year, I'm still freaking, like, regretting what I did at heydays. Last year I went on a bender. I talked about it on the last pod. Yeah. So I shut her down at midnight this year.

[Dalton]

Wow.

[Ryan]

I shut her down with you, brother.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I just both passed out in the bed.

[Mike]

I was exactly the same time. I went to bed.

[Dalton]

Really?

[Mike]

And maybe 12:30.

[Dalton]

Wow, you're up. Later. I. I just was walking around one of the parties, and I was talking to somebody, and I just went, I don't think I've made a ton of sense for the last five minutes. I went, probably better just call it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Then I went back, and I was going to kind of just hang around the booth, and then we were out of beer and I went, all right, guess I'm going to bed. So it was a nice cutoff. Ken. You were out late, though.

[Ken]

I don't remember.

[Dalton]

I heard cowboy Ken was in full force.

[Ken]

I don't remember.

[Evan]

Oh, really?

[Ryan]

Really? You fully blacked out when I got.

[Ken]

Back to the motorhome. That I did.

[Evan]

Well, that's. Oh, okay. That's good.

[Ryan]

What were you up to?

[Ken]

I don't even know the second. Legitimately should have gone to bed, and I'm just walking around doing up to no good.

[Ryan]

Oh, I would have loved.

[Evan]

I saw a video of Ken pushing a stroller. I don't know what that was about.

[Dalton]

Really?

[Ken]

No, I was leaning on it.

[Evan]

Ah, got it. Well, I pulled up to the party and I just got stopped by a couple fellas right before I made it there. And I see Ken just. Just.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, cowboy hat.

[Evan]

Yeah, you're just. You're on a mission.

[Ken]

And then that must have been when I was leaving.

[Evan]

You got to the part. Of course. Yes, it was. I got the party. And they're like, yeah, dude, see that guy, that older guy, he pissed Ken off. He made him leave. And everyone's like, yeah, he made Ken leave.

[Dalton]

No way.

[Evan]

You did that?

[Dalton]

No, the older guy, random guy, did.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

But no, I was just drunk. And I was like, I. I gotta leave.

[Evan]

It's kind of what I said. So then I start chopping it up with said fella. And I was like, so you were just talking to Ken? He's like, oh, yeah. And he was like, really nice. He's really drunk. And he honestly, what? He wasn't annoying me at all. And they're like, dude, that guy you were just talking to, that's the one that made Ken leave.

[Dalton]

Damn dude, everybody noticed who you were talking to and when you left. That's crazy.

[Evan]

Yeah. And so then I was like, I don't think you see a big man. Honestly, I bet you Ken just wanted to check out. Who knows? Maybe already was checked out. But, yeah, it was just funny.

[Dalton]

The only thing that I heard was somebody who was around that booth comes over and goes, dude, I was watching my friend talk with Ken, and Ken was telling this story, and it went on for, like, five minutes. And the guy just stopped you and goes, ken, you're. What are you drinking? You're making no sense right now.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he's like. He said, you know, I'm building a boathouse, but I want my boathouse to look like my buddy's boathouse. But he hasn't bought his boathouse yet, so I don't really know what I'm doing.

[Ken]

I was. I was full, Micah, talking in circles.

[Dalton]

No, you were Cowboy Ken, dude. No, you put on the cowboy hat, dude. You become a different man.

[Ryan]

I saw the people are calling them Big K. Big K. Yeah. They dropped the en. You went from Big Ken to just.

[Dalton]

Big K, From Grant to Ken wasn't short enough.

[Evan]

Big K. Big K. I don't know why.

[Mike]

That's what they used to call Kmart.

[Ken]

Once you realize you're talking in circles, it's time for bed.

[Ryan]

And you know the worst part about it, Ken, is most times you don't even know.

[Ken]

Oh. You fully realize, like, oh, shit. I am too drunk to be.

[Ryan]

No, no, no, no, no. Most times. Most times, people don't even know.

[Dalton]

Yeah, true. That's why.

[Ryan]

So that was good on you, Ken. Do you remember coming in the camper.

[Ken]

At 4am no, that's when I black. No, I wasn't there.

[Ryan]

Hold on. I want to hear this.

[Mike]

Yeah, let's hear it. Hop on, Dalton. Tell it.

[Ryan]

Tell.

[Mike]

Right there.

[Ryan]

Ken comes in the RV at, like.

[Ken]

4:00Am it was 2:00. I have receipts in my phone, actually, because I lost my phone in the camper.

[Ryan]

Either way, it was late at night. He walks in, I hear, stumbling around, opens the fridge. Anyone want a dog?

[Evan]

He goes, makes a dog, goes to bed.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ryan]

I thought he was throwing hot dogs around the camper.

[Evan]

No, no.

[Ryan]

But he did rip off half of.

[Evan]

Micah's pocket dog earlier. Yeah, I mean, we. There's not even much to get into it. Yeah, it's.

[Dalton]

I don't.

[Evan]

I wouldn't say it's secret. He's just so overshadowed by me. But I got. I had a. Two dogs from the Joey Chestnut, and he's. Kobayashi threw a hot dog in the pocket, and it had a nice look to it. And then Ken comes over and just.

[Ryan]

So uncalled.

[Evan]

And I was like, I was hungry.

[Ken]

I was looking for a little snack. It was a nice little picnic.

[Evan]

I know.

[Dalton]

Just.

[Evan]

It's the principle.

[Ryan]

Hey, so speaking of hot dogs, another C Boys podcast. Here we go again.

[Dalton]

Hot dogs.

[Ryan]

Joey Chestnut just, like, walked.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Kobayashi.

[Mike]

Yeah, My theory was wrong. It was completely wrong.

[Ken]

He betting odds were right.

[Dalton]

Joey's just the best.

[Evan]

Yeah, that's true. And Kobayashi also, like, really did kind of put on for. For, you know, for. For him. He did it for him. He still wanted to break his own record.

[Ryan]

He kept going, but Mr. Chestnut just put on a clinic.

[Evan]

I think he brought, bought, beat his own personal record. But gosh dang, dude, Joey, they were talking about how they're like, yeah, ever since you learned how to eat like this. Because he doesn't do the dunk thing anymore. Like, hot dog, dunk the bun. Now he just does the whole thing and somehow is even faster at that. Even though he'd been eating it the other way.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Years and years.

[Ryan]

So analytical.

[Evan]

You should be a.

[Ryan]

You should be a commentator.

[Evan]

Yeah, I should be a commentator because, like, everyone's always like, you should join a hot dog eating contest. I'm like, dude, I mean, you're either good at it or you're not.

[Mike]

You have the passion for, but not the talent.

[Evan]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ryan]

So, yeah, you're like a motocross commentator.

[Evan]

Like. Yeah, exactly.

[Ryan]

Those dudes don't know how to even, like, like, drop the clutch without flipping her over, but they can. Yeah.

[Evan]

James Stewart doesn't know how to ride a dirt bike.

[Ryan]

Maybe not only.

[Evan]

But yeah, I could be a hot dog eating contest commentator for sure.

[Dalton]

So I found something kind of cool the other day. I found old aerial pictures of cormorant, but from like the 50s and 60s. And so I was really hoping to be able to see, like, where our track is, if that old farm was there in these. But it's pretty cool. Like, I don't know how they did this and how they pieced all these pictures together of apparently all of Minnesota. But there's a little spot down there. It all seems to be field, but you can see the road in to that. All those old buildings, the abandoned buildings that are in our.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, you track. You can, like, see the buildings more.

[Dalton]

Yeah. The trees aren't all overgrown over it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It is crazy to think, like, that used to be a functioning Farm. Wait, like right there, right in the.

[Dalton]

Middle, kind of the lighter colored field.

[Evan]

Is where the track is. And then there's like literal farmstead.

[Mike]

You can see where they had the house.

[Evan]

Yeah. It was almost open. Yeah. Not overgrown at all, huh?

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So that.

[Dalton]

That was from 8, 11, 1953.

[Evan]

That's wild. So in 1953, I'd assume this place was just all gravel, everything. Like there was not such a thing as a paved road.

[Dalton]

Paved road around here. Here's Cormorant in 1953.

[Ryan]

Holy. Looks about the same.

[Dalton]

Which kind of. It makes me laugh because. What. Other than the cormorant store not being there? It is literally the exact same.

[Ken]

I remember when we, my parents first moved out here, all the roads are gravel. They didn't pave any of this. Wow, that sounds late 90s, early 2000s.

[Evan]

Really?

[Dalton]

Really?

[Ryan]

Even the, like the highways, all the.

[Ken]

Highways around here were all gravel.

[Dalton]

And then here's Cormorant in 1974. It's looking a little more. The cormorant store is there, but still obviously gravel. And you know, I wonder if Those guys in 1974 would ever thought that there would be just a heated dog race. Mayor for dog mayor. Dog race. You know what I'm trying to say?

[Ryan]

I know what you're saying.

[Mike]

Zoom in over on pelican there in 65. Down by Zorbas.

[Dalton]

Yep.

[Mike]

So it looks like they had Zorbas there.

[Dalton]

Zorbas was there by the looks of it.

[Ryan]

Or at least a building that was a boathouse. That was an old marina.

[Dalton]

Oh, really? Yeah, it's kind of cool. So apparently there's a whole town used.

[Ryan]

To be on the left side over by Pelican. That's what Joe was saying.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Ryan]

The cormorant used to not be where cormorant is. And it all like burnt down or somebody burnt it down or something like that. Really?

[Ken]

Yeah. I was talking to a lot local last week and he was saying there used to be like three different bars, a couple different brothels, like right on that strip, going west.

[Dalton]

Brothels? Yeah, man. We've. I was like, dude, it's a good thing we don't have a brothel.

[Ryan]

My question is, like, where was everyone coming from?

[Dalton]

Yeah, seriously. I mean, way out here.

[Evan]

What's a brothel? Is that a soup kitchen?

[Dalton]

Yeah, yeah. Chicken brothel, something of the sort.

[Mike]

Still have brothels in, like Nevada. It's legal.

[Ryan]

Soup kitchens?

[Mike]

Yeah, soup kitchens.

[Dalton]

And this one's actually probably, I think, the craziest one because like, look at cormorant when it was dried up.

[Evan]

So much smaller than it was.

[Dalton]

This was in the. In 39 sandy beaches.

[Ryan]

Dude, where the heck did all this water come from? Like, there's. There isn't water anywhere.

[Evan]

It's a good question.

[Mike]

How the do they have a picture from 1939?

[Evan]

What?

[Mike]

That's the farm.

[Ryan]

That's the farm.

[Dalton]

Isn't that crazy?

[Mike]

That was 1939.

[Dalton]

Yeah. I can't believe that in night. When. When was flight invented, Ken?

[Mike]

I mean, they had it in like the.

[Evan]

I mean, you know, the Wright brothers.

[Ken]

Wright brothers were like 1910 something.

[Mike]

Because they're flying in World War II and 1903.

[Dalton]

It was. We're only been in the air for like 30 years, and now they're up there taking pictures of the whole state. So you can actually go online and find pictures, aerial pictures of your whole state. They did this through the years, so it's actually kind of cool. I was. I'm a little bit of a historian.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah?

[Dalton]

Yeah. I don't know. I think history of this area is cool. Maybe I'll put it in my book. Maybe I'll write a book about our history.

[Ryan]

You keep saying that, Ryan, but I don't know. I don't know if you're qualified to write.

[Dalton]

Well, it'll be fine because you're not qualified to read.

[Ryan]

No, dude. Yeah, I heard Ryan wrote a book. Can somebody read it to me? When's the audiobook coming out, Ryan?

[Evan]

Can you imagine the look you like really chirping Ryan for writing a book? Turns out I'd be stoked if he actually did.

[Mike]

I would be, too.

[Evan]

Yeah, that'd be cool.

[Ryan]

That'd be sick.

[Dalton]

You think people are still going to be writing books in 40 years? Like, why would you? Why would you?

[Evan]

Yes, But I also agree, like, there's got to be some dwindling going on.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

What do you think?

[Mike]

People love books. People, you know, people we hang around don't really read books, but.

[Ryan]

Yeah, my girlfriend does.

[Mike]

A lot of people are really big book readers. I'm sure it's definitely gone down a ton. Like, you look back, obviously, with the adventure of TV and Kindle, like all these new things that come out for entertainment. But back in the day, like, you'd watch, you'd read a book for entertainment.

[Evan]

Ryan says Kindle. Like, you still have to write a book for it to be on freaking Kindle, bro.

[Dalton]

My bad.

[Ryan]

What are you doing? Oh, I'm just writing like a Kindle story.

[Evan]

Oh, nice. What is that? It's like a book, but way different.

[Dalton]

Back in the day, like, now, if you spend too much time on, like, your phone or your iPad, your mom's liking, you're gonna write your brain. But, like, back in the day, do you think people like you should be working in the sawmill, not reading books? Or do you think books have always been, like, a good thing for your brain?

[Evan]

Because if you're a smart and a person full of wisdom, you probably read a lot of books and you want your offspring and other people around you to read books. But if you're like, I made a bunch of money working hard, you're like, stop reading them books. I could totally see it.

[Ryan]

I think, like, 95% of the most successful people in the world are always like, I read books, and that's a large reason that I'm successful. And then the other 5% are the anomalies.

[Evan]

YouTubers.

[Ryan]

Yeah, maybe. But I think it's just, like, a very common thing to do for successful people. I don't know what that is. I don't know if that means, like, retaining, you know, information.

[Dalton]

Yeah. What do you, like, what are you getting out of these books that you can't get out of something else? You know? Like, do you think now the new form of that is, like, people who watch YouTube and, like, actually watch the, like, the right videos where you can learn?

[Ryan]

Hard to say. I. I don't think that you retain as much by, like, watching just watching.

[Ken]

Reading a book, you're, like, fully invested towards reading that. Watching a YouTube video, you can be completely paying attention to something else and just have that on in the background.

[Mike]

For me, at least. I probably learn more with, like, a video or a film, because then I'm, like, listening and I'm watching. If I'm reading, I start just reading. But I, like, just start thinking about other things.

[Dalton]

The words.

[Mike]

I'll read, like, two pages. I'm like, what did I even just read? Yeah, like, I read it, but I didn't process it.

[Evan]

But I do the same thing. Watching videos as in, like, I've done. Yeah, you read the whole page and be like, how did I even just do that and not retain any of it? Yeah, but I mean, do that on a video too. You look away for, like, what feels like one second, and you're like, damn, dude, I just missed that whole minute of what he was talking about part of the video I wanted to see. And here you go redoing it. Just like, you reread it.

[Dalton]

Wait, what do you guys learn more by Doing, reading or what are the three ways of learning? Damn, we need a teacher in here. But like, do you. Do you learn more by doing or reading? Let's go with that for sure.

[Mike]

Doing.

[Dalton]

You feel like you're a doer?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I can barely read, so 100 a doer.

[Dalton]

You think you're a real.

[Evan]

Yeah, I'm definitely like a doer, but.

[Mike]

I mean, there's so much to that. I can't say most people, like, no matter what until you do it.

[Dalton]

True.

[Mike]

You don't know what.

[Ryan]

What. What you gotta do.

[Dalton]

I can't remember how they phrase the question properly. It's like, what would you rather do to solve a problem? Read how to do it, or just like, figure it out on your own and it's something to do with like your creative and mental problem solving? And I feel like we're all the same in that way. So you're getting hungry. Really hungry. Head to Jack in the Box and pick up a Smash Jack. It's a ju. Juicy, delicious smashed burger topped with cheese.

[Ken]

Pickles, grilled onions, and boss sauce.

[Dalton]

And it's now available on Sourdough.

[Ken]

The Smash Jack.

[Dalton]

Only a Jack in the Box?

[Ken]

Order one on the Jack app today.

[Evan]

The wrongs we must write, the fights.

[Dalton]

We must win, the future we must secure together for our nation.

[Evan]

This is what's in front of us.

[Dalton]

This determines what's next for all of us.

[Evan]

We are marines.

[Dalton]

We were made for this.

[Evan]

This year, Santa's bringing the power of.

[Dalton]

Energizer into his workshop. Whoa. The Energizer Bunny's got so much power.

[Evan]

Wait, he's powered up all the toys.

[Ryan]

I think that means we're done for the year.

[Dalton]

I love this bunny. He's the hardest working helper the North Pole has ever seen.

[Evan]

And he wants all your gifts to have the power of the number one longest lasting double A battery.

[Dalton]

So this holiday season, stock up on.

[Evan]

Santa's and the elves favorite battery, Energizer Ultimate Lithium.

[Ken]

Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

[Dalton]

Which is doing, doing.

[Ryan]

So many people might say that, but they don't actually do it.

[Ken]

I mean, to really do something right, you need to have a mix of everything. Yeah, do something. But you're not going to do it, right?

[Ryan]

The hell are we even talking about right now? What the.

[Dalton]

Sorry, I don't know. I thought we could really roll through with hay days and whatever, but wait.

[Ryan]

No, I. Yeah, no, it is. We're just like, I don't know.

[Evan]

And then Ryan says, I thought we could roll through with heydays And I was like, that. I don't know. That was a while ago.

[Dalton]

I know.

[Ryan]

What does that even mean?

[Dalton]

Yeah, I just. I. I thought that there would be a bunch of stuff that we could really, really go off, you know?

[Evan]

For the record, so did I. But here we are.

[Dalton]

I Talking about the three stages of learning.

[Evan]

Oh, man, that's.

[Ryan]

I brother. I do not think we're qualified to be talking about this.

[Evan]

I think that's the best part, is that we can't even remember, like, what they are, let alone give the definition, let alone, like, teach someone else anything.

[Dalton]

Apparently, it's three stages. It's not even three types, the three stages, just how you said it was.

[Mike]

Kind of what I was thinking, too. I feel like if you do. Yeah.

[Dalton]

Trying to be wisdom, dude.

[Evan]

And this isn't even, like, calling CJ out, but let's say CJ and I are putting together, like, these chairs. You'll kind of, like, you'll read the directions, too, but you'll skip a few steps. And then I'm like, damn it, cj Just read the directions. And you're not the only one to do that, like, because there's plenty of times I don't read the directions, but I always found in stupid little things like that, how to put together this chair or the desk or. I don't know. But if you just read the directions, and they're not too complicated, as in, like, too stupid. Some directions are from China, and whatever, you can't read them. You read the directions. You almost always get it right.

[Dalton]

If you're putting together a bookcase, are you guys reading the directions?

[Evan]

Yes, but I've. But I, like, learned the hard way.

[Mike]

No, I mean, it depends. If you can just look at it and see how it goes together. It's like, why the fuck would I read the directions?

[Evan]

But I just hate running into those things. Later on, you're like, wait, these bolts are too long for this part. Oh, I put. I use those bolts down there. And then here you are taking it apart.

[Dalton]

Taking it apart.

[Ryan]

Dude, Ryan, you'll learn this. Now that you're moving into a new house and you're getting furniture, bro, when you have to put together furniture, that can actually be so complicated, so time consuming, because there's, like, every bolt is, like, a different length and then every drawer. You have to do something before you put the drawer in. And then if you do that, and then you're missing, like, the peg on the back.

[Dalton]

Yeah. It's got to go together, like, in the right way.

[Ryan]

Such a Pain in the ass. I used to be, like, a big, like, directions guy, and then. And then I had to start building.

[Dalton]

Furniture, and then a bookshelf put you in your place.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Damn, dude.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. So that was. That was kind of my big turning moment. And then one time, I was actually, like, building something with big wrench. I think it was just, like, shelving for the. For the shop. And he was like, where are the directions?

[Evan]

Really?

[Ryan]

And I was like, chill. I was like, what do you need directions for? Big wrench? Like. Like, this dude can build anything out of nothing. And he was like, why are we doing this the hard way when there's directions somewhere? And. And then we went and found the directions and then had it banged out in, like, 30 minutes versus, like an hour and a half to get there.

[Dalton]

Of fooling around with it. See, that's. I would have thought he would have been a no directions guy.

[Ryan]

That's what I thought, too. I was kind of caught off guard there.

[Dalton]

Raw dogging it.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah, I was. I thought that too. But yeah, he was just like, no. Why. Why would I waste time by trying to figure it out?

[Dalton]

Figured out when I could just read the draft. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I was like, that's a great point. It's a great point.

[Dalton]

That is. You brought it up. I. I did buy a house, boys. You guys know. But I'm moving in on Tuesday, so.

[Ryan]

Tomorrow.

[Evan]

Yeah, tomorrow.

[Dalton]

Tomorrow.

[Ryan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Evan]

All right.

[Mike]

Exciting.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

That's wild.

[Dalton]

The whole time leading up because, like, you buy it and you do all the stuff, and then it's like, yeah, there's this date down the road. I'm like, well, we'll be ready by then. And then you throw in the chaos of our lives and remove. We. We. We could move in tomorrow, and we don't have anything, so you're not moving in. We're not. We'll start moving stuff in. We're gonna paint the walls first, and then. And then we're gonna move in. But I'm like, dang, dude, I need to buy a couch. A bed frame. I, like, have a bed, but I. I don't have a frame to put it on, dude.

[Ryan]

It's.

[Mike]

It's actually a lot of. It's kind of time consuming, and it's like. It's not, like, light decisions because you're like, okay, so I'm stuck.

[Ryan]

Like, this need to get.

[Mike]

This is gonna cost a lot of money you're looking for at a couch, for example. You're like, okay, so I want to be comfortable But I also want to look nice. And it's got to fit this space.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And then it's got to be the right color because we already have gray walls. We can't do a gray couch. You know, since, like, you start, like, looking, you're like, well, this isn't. This is going to look weird with the floor. It ends up being more than what you think, like, just the thought process. You're like, okay, well, if we do this, then the rest of this stuff has to tie in with this. If you actually are, like, you know, trying to make it all flow, and it ends up being kind of a lot of work. Like, it takes more time than you think. And then it's kind of gets to be an, like, this thing that's kind of hanging over your head, and you're just like, get around to it. I don't need to do it right now. And then you kind of just put it off, and you kind of just eventually do it. But if you can do it all at once, I mean, that's.

[Dalton]

Unless your girlfriend's designer. That's got to help.

[Evan]

It dead. Yeah. A lot. It helped, but, like, it still is. It's. I just was thinking back to the. You look so forward to the closing date, and you get to it, and you're like, sick. We can move in. And you almost forget that you have to buy a whole bunch of furniture.

[Ryan]

And then more work.

[Evan]

When you start to learn to buy the furniture, then all those questions that CJ just said come up.

[Mike]

You're like, this is a sick couch, but it won't fit.

[Dalton]

They don't make, like, a slightly smaller version.

[Mike]

I'm not trying to buy that. And then just, like, just. Yep.

[Dalton]

Yeah. And I'm trying not to let it, like, affect what I'm doing here, you know? Gotta be locked in.

[Evan]

It's another struggle, too. It's like, as we grow up, like, there's certain things. I mean, we always want to get to, like, our appointments and this and that, but sometimes you just gotta, like. Like, take a half day to, like, do what?

[Dalton]

Figure out your life.

[Evan]

Yeah. But, like, sometimes. I mean, to me, like, feels lame. Like, I don't want to take a half day to go pick up a couch.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Like, I don't want to do that. But, like, they deliver that stuff, right?

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's. That's, like, whatever you can do. Like, pay just a little bit more to just make it as easy as possible.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Yep.

[Ryan]

That's the one advice I can give you. And, like, a lot of times they'll be like, oh, you have to be home when they're, like, delivering that it. Call them and just be like, yo, give them the door code and then just change that right after.

[Dalton]

Be like, just throw the in the garage or whatever.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it is. Like, it's so time consuming and annoying.

[Dalton]

I remember you having to deal with that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

I'm like, yeah, yeah, you're right. They always want you there when they deliver it. Yeah, you're right, dude.

[Ryan]

It's fun, though. Like, honestly, you're gonna. You're gonna love it.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's kind of fun. You're right.

[Ryan]

Because it's just like, you know, it's just like building blocks of. Of your life and everything is like, you know, kind of something to look forward to once you're, like, are kind of like, building a space that, you know, you're making more and more yours.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And it's, like, you know, exciting to come home, too. And once it does come together, like, it'll come together, like, way longer than you think.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, I've been in my house for a year and a half now, and, like, just the other day, me and Greta, like, added some stuff to it, and I was like, this place. This place actually came together pretty good.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And like, up until that point, there's just like, like, awkward space everywhere because, like, you have nothing and you don't have, like, little things to put on. Places to, like, look nice.

[Dalton]

Decorations.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's just. Yeah, Decorations. And then after you do, you, like, go into, like, your mom's house or, like, some one of your friend's family's house, and you're like, you guys did a great job decorating it. Because I know that all this little adds up, it takes time. It costs money when it's just like this little, little thing sitting here doing nothing. But it's like, that cost a hundred bucks or fifty bucks or whatever it is, and it's like, hey, man, good on you because you did a great job here.

[Dalton]

Did it?

[Ryan]

I did. Like, when I walk into, like, your dad's house, I'm like, brandy, you know what? I know you're a busy guy, and this couldn't have been easy, so good on you.

[Dalton]

Yeah, that is true. My dad, for you guys to know is he builds houses. So I am kind of excited for that because I feel like I have a little bit of that side of creativity in me, so I'm excited to hopefully use that. And I might end up hating it. We'll see very soon. But I'm excited to try at least and see if I can make it our own.

[Evan]

And obviously, once you get it done, the rewarding feeling is it's pretty good. Hop back on that couch or have your first meal. Or, you know, I guess not your first meal, but that meal where it really feels like, wow, the dining room is set up. Yeah, you can't beat that.

[Dalton]

I did always think that people that decorated for holidays. I was like, why would you ever do that?

[Ryan]

That.

[Dalton]

And now I'm kind of like, I'd have trick or treat.

[Ryan]

Dude, I gotta do that now, too. I used to think that, too. I was like, why would anyone buy, like, Christmas stuff to, like, put around the house? Yeah.

[Dalton]

I was like, this is so dumb.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And then we'll, like, get, like, little Santas and put it there. And, like, I'm naming all the Santas or, like, the little, like, damn, dude. I'm like, I'm such a dude. But this is so great.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I bought that little 65 Santa to sit on my shelf.

[Evan]

It just seems like so much work. And then there's levels to do it. You can obviously get a tree, put some lights out front and put a few decorations up or whatever, but, like.

[Dalton]

Or you could have the whole, like.

[Evan]

Display, taking down all of your current decorations and then replacing them with Christmas ones, and then taking all of those down and replacing them with Easter ones. And, you know, like, I'm talking, like, almost all the decorations in your house being, like, themed.

[Dalton]

That's tough, man.

[Evan]

It's like, if that's what you're into, that's what you're into. Go for it. But, like, don't, I guess. Yeah, it can be fun.

[Dalton]

But I know for sure that one year my dad and I, when it was just him and I living together.

[Evan]

Just had a tree.

[Dalton]

No, we. We put up the 4th of July decorations and we took down the 4th of July stuff to put up Christmas. We didn't leave Christmas up until July. But I, like, I remember taking flags downstairs and being like, damn, probably should have done that sooner.

[Ryan]

That actually kind of fires me up for Christmas. Getting a good old Christmas tree.

[Evan]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Can't beat that.

[Dalton]

You guys do real trees or fake trees? Fake.

[Evan]

Either. Either. I think fake's way easier. Real is way cooler.

[Ryan]

I ain't trying to burn my house down.

[Dalton]

I thought about that. I was like, damn. I'm, like, in charge of something. Like when it's an apartment or something like that, you know, there's so many other people that could burn the Place down that you like. Yeah, it doesn't really matter. But now you're like, damn, this is, like, mine. That I could up.

[Evan]

I never thought about. I. I shouldn't say never, but, like, I mean, grew up getting real trees and. And it was never. It's like, oh, obviously we're gonna get a real tree. And. And it was never like, hopefully we don't burn the house down. I didn't hear that once, but you're right.

[Dalton]

I feel like we're. We're menards right now. Like, the season hasn't even started. We're talking about Christmas.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

I didn't know other places don't have menards. How do you live without them?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I think it's like a Midwest thing. Yeah.

[Mike]

Home Depot, Lowe's.

[Ryan]

I guess I have trick or treaters.

[Mike]

No, a lot.

[Ryan]

I guess you have.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Your whole neighborhood.

[Evan]

Like, nice neighborhood with lots of little kids. And we had, like. I wasn't there. We were in glamis. You count 86. 86 different kids or groups. Yeah.

[Dalton]

Holy. That's a lot of candy.

[Evan]

Yeah, I.

[Dalton]

We were looking at bags of Halloween candy was out because we were gonna buy it for heydays to have candy and thing. It was like 30 bucks for a bag of candy. I'm like, what the hell's going on here?

[Evan]

And then right after Halloween and obviously.

[Dalton]

Goes, yeah, it goes down, but you don't want to be the house that buys the old Halloween candy. And then.

[Evan]

But I got a question for you guys. Do you guys eat at your, like, dining room table? I know you guys have bigger. Bigger setups, I guess, than. Than where I'm in Fargo. Like, our dining room table is like this small circle, and we don't have an island. Just straight up. Don't eat at the dining room table, like, ever. Where do you eat at the. On the couch. You know, nice. Like, coffee table. Like, literally on the couch. And it's not necessarily because we have to have something on the TV by any means that's just gonna make sense. And so then I'm like, is this my life now?

[Mike]

Aren't you worried that you're gonna get it on the couch?

[Evan]

100%. 100%. Or if it's even later, like, I'll come home late. Like, I gotta eat, and then I'll eat in bed.

[Dalton]

Oh.

[Evan]

And I'm just like. Or let's say Sydney and I are eating together. I'll eat in bed. And she's like, don't spill on the bed. We just washed these sheets. And then I was like, I don't even want to eat in here.

[Ryan]

Then why do you?

[Evan]

Sometimes, if it's a really messy food, I'll just, like, stand and, like, hang out with her, you know, because it's only got a couple hours to hang out at night.

[Dalton]

It's true.

[Evan]

And. But, yeah, I'm just like, is this my life now? Am I, like, gonna be, like, a not eat at the. In the dining room type of guy?

[Mike]

It's pretty wild.

[Evan]

Yeah, I know.

[Mike]

It's like those TV dinners back in the day, how they'd all have, like, the trays and you'd sit there and watch TV and you.

[Evan]

Right, yeah.

[Dalton]

Like, we should bring those back.

[Evan]

You didn't have to watch TV to eat them, but I did. Like, those was.

[Dalton]

That was sick, dude. I remember going to my grandma's. She'd set you up, lean back in the old comfy chair.

[Evan]

Yeah, yeah, the tray.

[Dalton]

But like, the. The little trade thing. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[Mike]

Like, why was that? That was a thing. And then I think in, like, phones in the 90s, they were like, Everybody needs a no TV on at dinner. I remember my parents.

[Dalton]

Oh, really?

[Evan]

That rule, right? That's what I. It was even, like, pretty taboo. Like, in the morning, I. I liked having the morning news on, but I think it was the. The. The millennial in me. I'm like, I just want to watch TV while I eat breakfast. And they're like, well, you don't need the TV on.

[Ryan]

And.

[Evan]

But, yeah, especially, like, you know, then as time went by, it turned into, like, well, might as well have the news on for supper and whatever. Whatever's on Wheel of Fortune for us.

[Dalton]

Always, Grandpa. It was always. It was always something. Not. Not me. Now my family, like, back in the day. But, dude, now I. When I go in the sauna, I, like, want to watch YouTube. And the other day I sat in there. You didn't make it about 20 minutes in the sauna before. You're really ripping. I kept scrolling by videos, and I go, ah, this one's 25 minutes long, too. You know, too long. It's too much of a commitment. I scrolled for 15 minutes. Never picked a YouTube video because they were all too long. And then I. Like, the more I scrolled, I'm like, shoot, this one's 18. But I've already been in here for 10 minutes. So, like, now that one's too long. I never picked.

[Ryan]

You're really thinking that out.

[Dalton]

Yeah, well, I didn't really think about it as it was happening, but Then, like, I realized at the end that all I did was just scroll through YouTube and never picked a video.

[Evan]

I think about this stuff. You get home at, like, a little later. We're filming late. You get home at 8. Yeah. You got time to eat? You got time to chat? For chat, yeah. And then crush, you know, an episode or two of whatever you got. You were watching and like, that's really it.

[Mike]

Yeah, not much at all.

[Evan]

And so it's like, obviously I'm going to eat. Eat while I. While I watch that. And if it happens to be in the bedroom, then I guess. But yeah, I'm a messy person, so.

[Dalton]

I. I'm a messy person.

[Evan]

I get nervous about that.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I don't trust myself to eat on my couch.

[Dalton]

Really? So you eat at your dining room table or at your island?

[Ryan]

Both.

[Evan]

Yeah. If I had an island, bro, the island would be where I'd hang out. I'd be like, an island boy.

[Dalton]

I want to be sing it. But I really didn't want the audio out there, me saying that I could.

[Evan]

Sing it for you.

[Dalton]

Has anybody. You were saying that somebody clipped me saying if you're. If you ride a mountain bike, you're just trying to die. Has anybody seen any of those videos?

[Mike]

Yes. Really?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

You're just trying to die.

[Ryan]

Kill yourself.

[Dalton]

I think this was my actual term.

[Evan]

That's sweet. I haven't heard that.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

What are you doing riding a mountain bike? Are you trying to hurt yourself?

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And I think it's like a compilation of people, like, crashing.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

It's kind of funny, but we met two kids, they were mountain biking. And he even said he was like, yeah, it's a third time I've broken my arm this year.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Broke this one, broke that one, and then broke this one again. I was like, like, doing what? He's like, mountain biking. And I'm like, see, dude, we met.

[Ryan]

So many kids that had broken broken.

[Dalton]

Arms, broken feet, shoulders and everything.

[Ryan]

A bunch of jam ups. Honestly.

[Evan]

Yeah. Mountain biking, man. I follow this Instagram account called Pink Bike. And every bike, every year, it's like, it's one of the bigger mountain biking accounts. And they just repost everything post bunch of dope. And every Friday they post their fail Friday of all the mountain bike fails.

[Dalton]

Oh, my gosh.

[Evan]

They are new, you know, new. I'm sure they maybe pull from old, but like, it's a new compilation of at least 10 crashes every Friday. And some of them are so gnarly. And I'm like, I can't believe you Guys just post this every Friday, like, and people watching go, like, I still want to go mountain biking. Yeah, no, just seeing someone, you know.

[Ryan]

It is gnarly, dude.

[Dalton]

Aggressive on mountain biking.

[Evan]

Yeah, it does.

[Ryan]

Yeah. It just seems like that all you see is just slam.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

That is straight up all I see.

[Mike]

The worst part, and I'm gonna get crucified for saying this. It's not even that cool. Like, dirt bikes is so much cooler.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You can at least look, you know.

[Mike]

And I understand it's super hard, but, like, I don't necessarily, like, see a clip of some guy shredding down, like, hitting a mountain bike jump, you know, in the woods and be like, that's sick, dude.

[Ryan]

One time me and CJ were hanging out with our buddy Matt. Shout out.

[Dalton]

Matt, Matt, Matt.

[Ryan]

So he had this mountain bike that, you know how it have pedals on the top side and then on the bottom side you could have like the strap in feet.

[Dalton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Evan]

So not clips, but.

[Ryan]

No, no, no. It was just like strap in. So like. Yeah, it was like a foot loop. Yeah. Like, kind of like sandals. Yeah. We built this little plastic ramp at the bottom of the hill in the ravine actually behind Big Wrench's house now, right there. So like, Matt bombed the hill from the top and we, we built this plastic ramp at the bottom. And he smokes this plastic ramp on his mountain bike. And he like, kind of got off kilter and landed and then like, like just went straight into the trees. But his feet were still stuck in the pedals. Right. And so he's like in the trees with the bike on top of him. And me and CJ are crying, laughing, right as we do. Like, you can, you can already see and here me and C.J. just going, bro, that guy had so many upside down in the trees going, okay, I can't get my feet out. I can't get my feet out of the pegs.

[Mike]

God, that guy was funny.

[Dalton]

Those plastic ramps were such death traps. Like, I feel like everybody's had a good.

[Evan]

That's what I was wondering. Are you talking about, like, you guys built the plastic ramp?

[Ryan]

No, like the classic, like X factor.

[Dalton]

Yeah, the one just put in the sidewalk.

[Evan]

And I thought you had some.

[Mike]

We put sand inside it so it wouldn't move.

[Evan]

Good idea that. As of late, I've just been seeing some videos of surfacing around of people. You know, the classic 12 year old bike jump. So it's like a plank and some bricks, let's say.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

And I've been seeing dudes on, like, motorized vehicles, whether it's a moped, a dirt bike, or something in between. And they're hauling ass at them, and they're hitting them sitting down. If any of you guys have ridden could guess what's gonna happen, that's exactly what happens. Every time they d. And they're just like, eat all the shit. And they hit, they. I mean, the one that I saw looked like he was hitting at 30. Just this little wedge, and he's sitting down on a moped.

[Dalton]

Was he on, like, a freaking Zuma?

[Evan]

Yeah. And just got yardied across the pavement. And I'm just like, what are you? Or I've seen a few people hitting, like, skate ramps. You know, they're hauling ass at them, and it's like a little two and a half foot, you know, quarter. What do you think's gonna happen? You're gonna nose heavy.

[Dalton]

What is it with people jumping, man? I'm just not a jumper.

[Ryan]

No, you are not.

[Evan]

But that's. I guess what I wonder is that. So you're smart enough at least to, like, know that I can't. But even on the most proper jump, I'm not trying to obviously, put myself in a position to get hurt. So if I don't go too fast, I won't. So then what is. What happens when they look at this jump and go, that's the jankiest thing I've ever seen. I'm going to hit it at 40.

[Dalton]

I think that's because some people are cooler than me and have a little bit. They're just ready to send it.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

It's crazy, Ryan. It's like your body has a magnet to the ground. Like, no matter how fast you hit something, you always get just, like, that far off the ground.

[Dalton]

I know. What is that?

[Evan]

I don't know, dude.

[Ryan]

It's actually crazy. It's like, dude, just hit it faster, and you'll hit it, like, the right speed, but you'll just get, like, that high off.

[Dalton]

Like, are you guys, like, preloading off the jumps?

[Ryan]

No, it's like, you're just, like, trying to just stay low.

[Mike]

Like, he'd be the best freaking motocross right there.

[Evan]

But I would say, like, if you have to, you know, you don't have to preload, but if preloading is part of what we're doing to hit the jump, you're doing whatever the opposite of that is.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you're like. You're, like, taking all of it away.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Dalton]

Yeah. I don't know. Keep in mind, I, like, it's not just you.

[Evan]

It's not just you that does that. There's plenty of people that don't like being in the air.

[Ryan]

Jake's not good at jumping either.

[Evan]

And they'll suck it all up right as soon as you're coming in. So a combination of not going fast enough and sucking it up. Whatever. Sucking it down.

[Ryan]

Remember when we used to, like, jump the driveway?

[Evan]

And that was it at Jake's.

[Ryan]

And he would case it every single time, no matter how fast he go, he would hit it like, 50. He would go as fast as he.

[Dalton]

Could, come in fast, and then. Sorry. And as soon as he got to the lip, he'd, like, hit the brakes and let off and slow down.

[Evan]

Remember that? Very much of him hauling ass into it and then hitting the bread knob. But, I mean, I do remember when he, like, started to get. Get good, and then he would, like, clear the driveway, and then he had one where. Yeah, he had one where started to.

[Ryan]

Get good and he could finally clear that driveway.

[Evan]

Yeah. And then he, like, landed too deep, and then he's like, oh, hit my nut so hard. Like, we're gonna need a bigger jump, boys.

[Mike]

Need a bigger driveway.

[Ryan]

That was funny.

[Evan]

Quads, man. It's just also wild to think, like, I mean, if he really had to. If we were like, jake, three weeks from now, we're gonna challenge you to a quad race or quad Olympics. I genuinely think he'd be able to, like, pull his own, like, for sure. Yeah. But it is kind of funny to think, like, Evan and I, like, don't even really ride quads. And, like, I think we could give.

[Dalton]

Him a run bike away first. Yeah.

[Mike]

I mean, you guys, I just.

[Evan]

I'd love to do that. I'd be like, jake, let's. Let's fucking ride some quads together, dude. Yeah.

[Dalton]

But I love that you guys are coming around to quads, dude. They've.

[Evan]

I've always thought they've been fun, and they're fun in their own ways, but, like, here's the thing. A lot of our subscribers ride quads because it's just what you as a younger kid, if. If your dad's not putting you on a bike, he's definitely putting you on a quad. If he's into motorsports.

[Mike]

I think it's more so, like, if you grow up on a farm, you just kind of have a quad or, like a four wheeler, because it's more of a utility.

[Evan]

I grew up.

[Mike]

And you get to ride it because.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yeah. I grew up on a farm, and I grew up on Quad. Quads.

[Mike]

Yeah, because like, dirt bike's not for any real utility.

[Evan]

That's very true.

[Mike]

You know, why the hell did you.

[Ryan]

Grow up on a quad?

[Dalton]

It's because my mom works in a hospital with kids who have been injured riding things. I think a lot of them got injured on dirt bikes. And she was like, a dirt bike is more dangerous. And like, the. The thing was. And probably because my dad rode quads too, not dirt bikes. So, like, it probably just made sense that I was on a quad. But I always say when people like, what's more dangerous? Quad or dirt bikes? A dirt bike, if you ride it, you're gonna. Out of 10 times, let's say you're gonna fall five. A quad, you're gonna fall once. When you fall on the dirt bike, you might break your arm, collarbone, something like that. The quad will you up.

[Mike]

Especially if it's a four wheeler.

[Dalton]

Yeah, when they're four wheelers. Because, like, you can get away with so much on a four wheeler, and then they just bite back.

[Mike]

And I mean, if it lands on you, if it rolls over on you. I just remember when I was a kid, dude, that's why, like. Like, we never had a four wheeler. Just because my mom's side of the family, they were like all farmers and just like, oh, you. You heard about the Johnson's over there. They were over on the farm and the little boy was out on the four wheel and it rolled over on him. He died.

[Ryan]

You know, like, that would be the.

[Mike]

Story all the time, you know, and like, really scary. That'd be the situation. So, like, they just didn't want me riding a four wheeler.

[Dalton]

Oh, they made you cool and put you on a dirt bike, man.

[Ken]

I mean, Ryan, even you, you started off with a glorified go kart and you think for three hours. And we flipped it.

[Dalton]

It wasn't the first day that it.

[Ryan]

Was riding past my.

[Ken]

In my dad's driveway.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Were they watching when you totally.

[Dalton]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Ken, you were in it?

[Ken]

Yeah, Yeah, I was in totaled it.

[Evan]

How would you do?

[Dalton]

I would. I jumped the driveway and I just. We came off sideways, and it might have been because I was trying to drift and also jump at the same time, and we just flipped. Just. It just. We were going and then, yeah, Ken was with me. I've crashed like five or six times with Ken. It's honestly amazing. That guy gets in a car with me.

[Mike]

It's like the cut.

[Ryan]

What the heck are you doing getting in there, Ken.

[Ken]

It was Brian's new toy, and it Was fun.

[Dalton]

Yeah, we're just ripping around. Dude, it was sick.

[Mike]

How old are you?

[Ken]

Young. I don't even remember. A long time ago, though.

[Dalton]

Yeah. Pictures of it.

[Mike]

Like, what. How fast was this thing? Was it one of the ones that you could get at Fleet Farm?

[Dalton]

No, it was. What was the freaking name of the thing? I don't know.

[Ken]

Some Chinese thing that was.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it was like, pretty entry level go kart, but it had suspension and stuff. It was sick. And then I broke that one and we fixed it and we sold it, and then I got a. A higher horsepower one, but I never did flip that one. I jumped it a little bit, though.

[Ryan]

Did you ever hop back in the passenger seat with him?

[Ken]

With Justin? I did, cuz Justin also had one. Never with Ryan, though.

[Dalton]

Yeah, Smart.

[Ryan]

I can imagine. Man.

[Mike]

I remember when we were filming, it was actually like before our shifter cart video. It just never got. It got released after when we had the Cutlass.

[Dalton]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And Ryan jumped in the middle of the night and Ken was in the pack landing. Dude, like, it just.

[Ryan]

You hear it and it's just like airbags go off. Yo, the airbags. What? Did Ken say that? He says something. That's really funny.

[Mike]

Oh, I hit my head.

[Evan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Dalton]

Oh, my God. What?

[Evan]

The airbags.

[Dalton]

Oh, my God. That was so hot.

[Evan]

Wait, did Ken.

[Dalton]

Are you okay? No, I'm good.

[Ryan]

My face is.

[Ken]

No, I. I can't.

[Dalton]

You hit the windshield.

[Mike]

Holy.

[Dalton]

Go.

[Ken]

My face look like.

[Ryan]

Wait, what?

[Evan]

Dude, he's here.

[Ryan]

The windshield.

[Ken]

No, I didn't hit the wind.

[Ryan]

The airbag hit your face?

[Mike]

Yeah, I think that's what he said.

[Ryan]

Did your head hit the windshield?

[Ken]

No, I think it was the airbag exploded, but then like my face went.

[Evan]

Him compressing into it. Push the airbag up into the windshield. But yeah, we had just our iPhones or whatever and we had the flash on, and Ken, he was like, oh.

[Dalton]

There'S airbag dust in the air. My first airbag.

[Evan]

Yeah, I was good.

[Dalton]

I always remember your first airbag.

[Ryan]

I remember my first airbag.

[Dalton]

I was with you.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Was that. It was that red Jeep that looked identical to Mike's.

[Evan]

Never been airbagged, I don't think.

[Dalton]

Really?

[Evan]

Maybe. I don't know.

[Dalton]

I just hope it's intentional if you. When you get it. But I think it's like a. It's like a. It's like a staple moment of your life. You get the airbag and it blows all your arm hair off and your face stings.

[Ken]

It's much nicer with a Helmet on.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

It doesn't actually hit your face.

[Ryan]

Dude, when.

[Mike]

When my WRX airbag went off, it hit me so fast. I was like, did I get hit in the face or what the. It was like, so quick. Because you, you know, it's different, I guess when you're maybe jumping like something, you're kind of like, all right, but you're just cruising on the. In your car at 80 and just all of a sudden, bam. Like you're just like, what the just happened because you hit a deer stinging. Yeah, I hit two deer.

[Ken]

And then you can't see anything for a little bit.

[Dalton]

And yeah, because you were just ripping down the road, not expecting it. So. Speaking of the first. Your first airbag experience, the video of Justin getting his first airbag is one of my favorites.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, that was so funny.

[Dalton]

And it's when we drove a car into our friend's pond who ended up.

[Ryan]

This is a good thumbnail.

[Dalton]

Yeah, this was ahead of its time.

[Evan]

But yeah, that. That snippet that will watch shortly here when. Dude, Justin. I don't know. He just didn't know what he was in for. Justin's discomfort begins. Bro.

[Ryan]

Here we go, boys. Tit in the back.

[Dalton]

Should we hold the airbag?

[Evan]

It's not bad with a helmet on.

[Dalton]

I don't even know if you're going.

[Ken]

To need to get a run up. I don't even think the airbags are going to go off.

[Ryan]

Dude, he goes down the driveway. Dude, yo, yo, go back. I want to see what Tint does.

[Mike]

Tint's just like us.

[Ken]

I feel like t was even like, seat belted.

[Mike]

They hit hard.

[Dalton]

He.

[Mike]

Go back a second and then hit pause.

[Dalton]

I want to get Justin's face when the airbag goes off. The way he looks at it right there.

[Ryan]

It's not that bad with a helmet.

[Mike]

He's already chilling.

[Dalton]

Look at Jake's. Look at Justin's reaction to what is happening. And look at Jake's. He's like, nice. He's like, I'm. This was cool. All good.

[Evan]

Let's.

[Dalton]

Let's get out of the car.

[Evan]

And Justin's like, also what was kind of dope? Like, they didn't actually get hit by the airbag legs. No, because that's kind of nice.

[Dalton]

It was a light impact.

[Evan]

I think locked them and then.

[Dalton]

Yeah, it was all good.

[Ryan]

How did Justin end up in there?

[Mike]

He just volunteered.

[Evan]

He hopped in kind of one of those things. Ah, shoot. It probably isn't too sketchy. And then he got in and then regretted. I Love that.

[Ryan]

He goes, I don't even think we're gonna need a run up. They're already up on the road. And Jake goes, just a baby one. And he goes.

[Evan]

That was good.

[Ryan]

Everyone remembers the first airbag, but like.

[Evan]

So many bits on the channel, Seaboice TV's got a lot of them.

[Ryan]

Well, all right.

[Dalton]

Good times.

[Ryan]

I think that's a wrap.

[Evan]

Great times, man.

[Dalton]

Let us know your first airbag story. Don't go get in one just to tell the story, but if you got one, yeah, tell it because honestly, I feel like everybody's got a good one.

[Mike]

Boys.

[Evan]

Now I feel like I need one again. Hopefully it is on purpose with a helmet. I really don't think I have had one.

[Dalton]

So it's not that bad.

[Ryan]

Your airbag didn't go off when you hit the curb.

[Dalton]

No, no, that's good. That would have really told you when you.

[Ryan]

I guess when you hit the electrical pot.

[Evan]

That would have really sucked. No, no, no airbags. But just had a buddy reach out today. He said, got a free car for you. You want it? And I was like, yeah, you know, it's weird because, like, we used to just buy peanuts, like legit on the regularly or on the monthly or whatever. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, we could take another peanut. I don't know what we'll do with it. We obviously are kind of past those days, but sometimes Evan and I might just take it out late at night and then go toast it at the track.

[Dalton]

You might end up with your first airbag.

[Ryan]

There we go. All right, that's a wrap. If you haven't subscribe, hit subscribe. See you next week.

[Evan]

Later.
