  • “The more time that we spend with Rich and Evan together, the more that we realize that Rich kind of looks like just Evan's dad.” (Ryan, 03:06)

Transcript

[Ryan]

The last time I hung out with that crew, I got my appendix taken out the next day.

[Mike]

True.

[Ryan]

Like, the Latin root of most of these words, I guess you could say, like the northern root. Money Mike strikes again.

[Evan]

If the truck looked like that, can you imagine what I look like?

[Ryan]

I can't.

[Evan]

Thank God we don't have footage of that.

[Ryan]

That's what I like about you, Ev. You know, even when you're not on the clock, you're still practicing.

[Mike]

I just think you're being a puss.

[Ryan]

No, no, I think that we have puppies and coffee. This podcast is brought to you by Puppies and Coffee and everything else Ryan just said.

[Ken]

Rich is liking this. He's sitting in the. In the crowd right now.

[Ryan]

Shout out to puppies and coffee. If you guys like coffee. You're gonna love puppies and coffee. So it's. I'm not just saying this because the owner is sitting right over there, and we may or may not be.

[Gavin]

Does he have a gun to your head?

[Evan]

We may.

[Ryan]

We may or may not be in debt to him and need to give them 14 plugs throughout this podcast.

[Mike]

Rich got here on Saturday, and it's Friday, and he's got one day of dozing in. The rest are rain. Dude, this is crazy.

[Ryan]

Never rain this much. I swear, it's never rained this much in consecutive order. And then Rich gets here. Who's our track builder, Our good friend Rich.

[Mike]

Maybe.

[Ryan]

Maybe we'll have Rich come on at the. Throughout the podcast. But, dude, it is not stopped raining, and Rich is just chilling.

[Evan]

There was so much water on the patio last night. The worms were swimming. It was like 4 inches of water and there were just worms swimming.

[Ryan]

Is that how they ended up inside? Like, I saw worms, like, throughout the shop.

[Evan]

Yeah, I think that deck door maybe was letting in a little moisture. I don't know. They got in somehow.

[Ryan]

I can't imagine that you had a late night extravaganza out there and somehow left the door open off never.

[Gavin]

Maybe dragged him inside. No, Ken, I don't want to talk about it.

[Ken]

It's growing back, though.

[Ben]

I hate it.

[Ryan]

Honestly. It's kind of growing on me.

[Ken]

I like it.

[Gavin]

I wish I would have stayed Evan.

[Mike]

For at least another. I hate that you didn't leave your goatee for more than 24 hours.

[Ken]

The longest.

[Gavin]

Go trim it. But I trimmed it way too short. And then I was like, I got to go all the way now.

[Ben]

Really? So where. How did you get too short that you realize you had to take the whole thing off? No mustache Nothing.

[Gavin]

I grabbed the wrong guard. It was like, oh, the three guard, not the seven guard.

[Mike]

Classic.

[Evan]

Three is still pretty long. I cut mine at two all the time. And this is a lot more than. This is a two. That's probably three.

[Gavin]

Maybe mine's weird, but it was. It was this short, and I was like, ah, now I got to do everything that length.

[Mike]

When.

[Ken]

When was the last time you had your facial hair this short?

[Gavin]

Probably early college or high school.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Ben]

That's kind of crazy.

[Mike]

Dude, when you pulled up the other day, I thought you were just some random dude.

[Gavin]

I walked in the door, Rich didn't even recognize.

[Ken]

Eyes exactly like a naked mole rat.

[Evan]

Yeah, I'll admit that I. I was startled because I saw you sitting in your chair working away on your computer, and you turned around. It just took me a second to process. I just never. I. I didn't even know you back.

[Gavin]

Was it sad to lose one of the Evans. Did you have, like, a little PTSD from that?

[Evan]

I was sad. I thought you were going to be goatee gang for at least a week.

[Gavin]

Maybe I'll just grow it out and keep trimming that in.

[Evan]

I think it's a good look.

[Ryan]

So for some context, like. Like we were saying earlier, our friend Rich is here. He's our track builder. And the more time that we spend with Rich and Evan together, the more that we realize that Rich kind of looks like just Evan's dad.

[Evan]

Not my actual dad. Looks like he.

[Ryan]

No, he could be your dad.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Like, you guys have the same look. Yeah.

[Ken]

Pop the picture up. I took it as.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Identical.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

We were like, you know, looking at the two, we're like, damn, Rich, you and Evan. You could almost go on like a. Like a little boot camp with Evan and, like, you know, try and be him for a day or two, because he was, you know, hanging out with Evan and they were, like, going out, and he was kind of just living the Evan lifestyle, honestly. And then Ken was like, yeah, you know, I'll. I'll maybe go on the Evan lifestyle too.

[Ken]

Well, he just saw them going out to eat and drinking. He's like, I can do that.

[Gavin]

I was like, it. I got to trim my beard anyways. Might as well just do a goatee with Evan.

[Ryan]

And then we got him all dressed up the same and then kind of had.

[Evan]

Well, Rich also shaved his beard.

[Mike]

Right, right.

[Ryan]

And then made a. Made a day out of it. So I don't think the video is out yet, but extremely entertain. Beginning to see the three of you.

[Mike]

My favorite Part is, every time Rich is here, I mean, he's in the dozer. If you see him, you might see him standing next to or in a dozer. But this time we just, like, put him in, you know, kind of through the ringer.

[Ken]

But yeah, put him on a pit bike.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

He was saying today we, we went to a local establishment and had food and drinks for lunch. Pretty rare on a Friday. But he goes, man, I don't know if I'm cut out to be Evan for this long.

[Ryan]

Dude, I don't think anybody's cut out to be Evan.

[Ben]

And I was just thinking, man, heavy is the head that wears the crown.

[Ken]

Dude, everybody wants to be the king until feel the weight of the crown.

[Ryan]

This is nothing, Rich.

[Ken]

Just wait till it's Monday and it's time to film. That's when everyone else would bow out of being Evan. That's what divides Evan from being, you know, that's what divides the phonies from being the real deal.

[Ben]

You can't just have long hair and shave in a goatee and be Evan.

[Ken]

Yeah, just drink all weekend and then. And then you think, oh, I'm Evan.

[Gavin]

I couldn't handle it after 12 hours, I had to get rid of that thing.

[Ben]

So what did you dislike about being Evan the most? Like you, because you did not have the goatee for very long.

[Gavin]

You're always complaining about stuff. It's always other people's problems.

[Ryan]

You can only be a piece of shit for so long, dude.

[Mike]

I can't. I was waiting for you to be, like, still kind of playing into it. I thought, basically, I thought being Evan was like a little Cheeto.

[Ryan]

I. I thought for sure that Ken was going to, you know, adapt to the Evan lifestyle so much that he was going to fill his car up head to toe in the black ice. And that would have just been the. Just the air freshener. Yeah, yeah, Just the cherry on top.

[Evan]

Black ice is nice. I don't know.

[Ryan]

It ruins a car.

[Ken]

It ruins a car. Makes it smell cheap.

[Mike]

Yeah. But it goes away in like two days.

[Ken]

I don't know if it does. Cigarette.

[Ryan]

It's like smoking a cigarette in a car. You never quite lose that.

[Gavin]

It's like 99 gone, but it's never full.

[Ryan]

I agree.

[Ken]

Once it's in there, it's in there.

[Ryan]

I think that there's like a. A certain type of person that uses the black ice. And usually it's like if you never, ever clean your car and it just smells so bad, you have to cover it up with something.

[Evan]

Evan on the flip side, mine's filthy. Smells like black ice. No, truck smells like there's mushrooms growing.

[Ryan]

Because it's a work truck, Evan. And it gets abused.

[Evan]

Okay, so throw a black ice in there for everyone else's pleasure. That would like now at first.

[Ryan]

Then I show up to. To the shop every day, hop out, and feeling loopy because it smells so bad.

[Mike]

I get like that strong. What do you.

[Ryan]

Why do you like it?

[Mike]

Mike, I just think you're being a puss.

[Ryan]

No, no, I think that we have. I think that we have, you know, a nice truck. It's got 2,000 miles on it, and it's already getting a black ice thrown into it. Still smells like new truck.

[Ken]

It just. I agree.

[Mike]

After a while, you got so riled up. Like, I've seen you, like, trip about, like, way less about crazier things. So then we just started putting black ice in just to get you going, dude.

[Ryan]

Yeah, no kidding. It just doesn't smell good.

[Mike]

It's just funny. They're putting it in there. What are they even trying to do? Like, it's not even working. No, it is working because it was for you.

[Ryan]

Well, congratulations. I guess. It did. It did work.

[Mike]

Black ice air fresheners work.

[Ken]

Well, everyone comment down below. Do you guys think black ice smells good? And would you put it in a brand new.

[Mike]

No.

[Ken]

Ford.

[Ryan]

What you guys did.

[Ken]

Do you think that is a good.

[Ryan]

We did.

[Ken]

Would you do that as a listener?

[Mike]

No, it was the Cummins. I never did.

[Ken]

Okay, put it in the comments. Another new review.

[Mike]

Well, there's a work truck that has a lot more miles in 2000.

[Ben]

I have another game. You know, it kind of seems to be a bit of a tradition. Evan comes on the podcast and I have a little game for him to play. I'll describe a word or an item or a thing, and then you say your term for it. Your lingo, your secret lingo.

[Evan]

Okay, I don't think I fully understand, but.

[Ben]

Okay, how could I help explain better? I don't know, just because it's probably won't understand.

[Mike]

Dude, it's basically just like a game.

[Evan]

You say a word and then I say what I think about the word.

[Ben]

You don't know, like what you call it.

[Evan]

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

[Mike]

When someone says this, like, you say.

[Evan]

Couch, I say Chesterfield.

[Mike]

Sure.

[Ben]

Precisely that. All right, that's the first one. Speaking of the couch, A TV remote control.

[Evan]

Remus.

[Ryan]

Remus.

[Ken]

Where's the Ramon? The remus? I call it that.

[Evan]

Ah, man, I'm not even.

[Ken]

There's a Remus.

[Evan]

I think that just goes back to being a kid. We just. For some reason it was funny. Like, I think there was like a. I don't even know.

[Ken]

We just call it the room, call it the Remus.

[Evan]

Yeah, you do too.

[Mike]

For.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Evan]

What's your reason?

[Ryan]

Like we just did.

[Evan]

Because it was funny.

[Ken]

No, dude, I've just said that. That's just. Where's the Remus?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

I don't know where.

[Ken]

That seems interesting.

[Ryan]

Very bizarre. I guess that both of you. Like, I've never heard.

[Ken]

We call it the Ramon, too. Where's the Ramon? Where's the Ramon?

[Ryan]

What would you say when you know you might have done something to get yourself in a little bit of trouble?

[Mike]

Sounding.

[Evan]

It sounds like I got jammed up.

[Ryan]

Jammed up?

[Ben]

Micah was riding his dirt bike, he fell and he ripped his.

[Ken]

Trousers.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah. Trousers.

[Ben]

It was a very complex way of explaining it.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That was answering for you because you're slow today or something.

[Evan]

Well, I don't know. He could have ripped anything if he just flipped his bike over on the highway. But I have watched him rip his pants twice on Highway 11. Once on the 150, once on the 2 50.

[Mike]

What if I just flip my bike over in the highway but I didn't rip my pants? What did I do?

[Evan]

Probably lose your wallet.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Ryan]

Some people have a tight blank. Let me. Hold on.

[Mike]

Now.

[Evan]

That's what we're looking for.

[Ryan]

Yeah. Somewhere where you lose something in your.

[Evan]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

When you crash, your rig.

[Ken]

Piled up.

[Evan]

Piled up? Yeah, the same thing that I'm getting.

[Ken]

Well, piled up could mean a number of things. Like you could go out to Zorbas and. And blackout on a Wednesday at like 12 o' clock and then wake up at 10 in the morning not know what happened. And I got piled up last night.

[Evan]

This feels like, like. Like the Dating Game or like a game show where there's like catchphrases and we're supposed to be on the same wavelength.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's.

[Evan]

It's kind of complicated. You're just giving me little hints.

[Ken]

I'm surprised quicker at this.

[Ben]

Where would you go? To the local store. You got to pick up some Red Bulls and some vittles for the day. It's not the cornbread store.

[Ryan]

Oh, vittles. That was a good one, too.

[Evan]

Shit.

[Ryan]

Something for snacks.

[Evan]

Well, either the Dollar Genital or the Liquor Barn do.

[Ben]

Okay, how about if you already had your puppies and coffee? That's plug number two for the day. And you're about to.

[Ryan]

This is a good one.

[Evan]

Oh, man. I don't know. File some paperwork in the Oval Office.

[Ben]

No. Close. You're not near the Oval Office, and it's not even. So something might happen.

[Mike]

You don't make it to the toilet. You might.

[Ben]

Come on, dude.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Evan]

I know.

[Ryan]

What do I say?

[Ben]

You would pile up your shorts. I'm about to pile my shorts, which.

[Ryan]

I believe you did yesterday.

[Evan]

Okay. Yeah. That was actually so BS Dalton said next to me. I thought I had a little toot. I was like, oh, whatever. It's gonna be kind of funny. I might stink. Dalton off the golf carts. It's good for that boy. Probably should have been a little further away from me anyhow.

[Ryan]

It's good for that boy.

[Mike]

He leaned on everyone.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

He leaned his ass off the edge of the golf cart seat, farts, and then went, I just shit myself. I gotta go.

[Ken]

Oh.

[Mike]

Like, Dalton off the cart. And then he just was like, well, I'm not gonna shimmy back over and sit on it. So he just drives back with his, like, ass hanging off the golf cart.

[Ken]

What'd you do?

[Mike]

Where'd you go?

[Ryan]

Get a new pair of trousers? The reason that happened was you have a loose cj. Let him answer.

[Evan]

I thought.

[Ben]

Just for Evan.

[Ken]

Oh, we're giving him his own terms. Yeah. Yeah. He can't even do his own terms.

[Ben]

Yeah, I guess.

[Ryan]

Sorry.

[Ken]

I thought this was for all of us.

[Evan]

Well, I feel like most of these things you've said, I. I pot. I have multiple things, and I'm like, really? Like, which one?

[Ken]

How the do I know your terms better than you have?

[Evan]

I'm the one that just spittles them out.

[Mike]

You.

[Evan]

You absorb them.

[Ben]

All right? You're on the golf course. Your buddy shanks one into the pond. He's gonna.

[Evan]

I don't know. I thought you were gonna say, hit one into the rhubarb.

[Ben]

But now.

[Mike]

But you.

[Evan]

But. But you said, get into the pond.

[Ben]

Yep. So you're gonna.

[Mike]

You don't say this one much, but when you hit a golf.

[Gavin]

This.

[Ben]

I. This completely backfired.

[Ken]

I'm sorry, guys.

[Ryan]

I'm not. I'm having a hard time with this one.

[Ben]

Gonna have a turtle sucking on that ball.

[Evan]

I have never said turtle.

[Ken]

You have.

[Ben]

You have said that a million times.

[Mike]

So funny. Not a million.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I was like, this one, you know?

[Ken]

You haven't said it a million times.

[Evan]

Maybe I said it. I don't know.

[Ben]

Okay, well, not literally.

[Ken]

He didn't say it a million times. Ryan.

[Ryan]

This one is just.

[Mike]

I'll set you right Up.

[Evan]

I feel like you guys are setting me up for things I say when I'm at the bar. Now I have to remember it. It's okay.

[Mike]

I'm walking you into. So we're out at the track. It hasn't rained in a month. Oh, can't relate. Obvious.

[Evan]

Drier than a popcorn fart.

[Mike]

Yes, sir.

[Ryan]

You got that one. I don't think we've hit this one yet. And it's hands down the most said blank. My tire popped crepes.

[Evan]

Yeah, that was a good setup. That was easy. I could fill in the blanks there.

[Ben]

I guess I'm just off.

[Ryan]

Ryan's just throwing you on a wild goose chair.

[Evan]

Well, no, I just. Everything you said, I was just like. I don't know. I felt like there was multiple answers. I was trying to think of the best one.

[Mike]

What are we getting at the bar for drinks later? Reptile meets cocktail.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[Evan]

Cocktailians.

[Ryan]

There we go.

[Mike]

Making up your own words is fun, but it's not for everybody.

[Ryan]

Yes. So where do I get carried away with it?

[Mike]

But you, you're very tasteful.

[Ryan]

What's like, the Latin root of most of these words? I guess you could say like the northern root.

[Evan]

I don't even know, like. Like the remus. And most of them, I don't even know if I, like, invented them. I maybe just picked them up somewhere. I liked it.

[Ryan]

It's like when you hang out with, like, an old timer, you, like, pick a thing up or two, but when you hang out with, like, a northerner, you pick up a thing.

[Evan]

Yeah, like, for sure. My whole Cheeto thing definitely came from one of my old timer buddies. He said it a few times. It was funny, and everyone just up there started saying it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I guess we kind of missed that one, too. But that one's.

[Mike]

Yeah, we did.

[Ryan]

That one became a brand in itself. We can make it a snack brand.

[Ben]

It's a good idea. They could be a little orange puffs.

[Evan]

Dude, I love. People are, like, dming me and snapping me pictures of Cheeto trucks all the time. Or just bags at the store.

[Mike]

I can't help it if I pass a Cheeto truck. I just have to send you a snap.

[Ryan]

Same. I'm on your way to your place, Evan Cheeto. But this makes me think of you, brother.

[Ken]

It's amazing. They got a whole truck just to deliver Cheetos.

[Evan]

I mean, there's probably a whole circle.

[Ken]

Just put them other stuff in there. But they branded a Cheeto.

[Ben]

My new favorite one that we picked up is. Are you deaf? In one ear or stupid? In both.

[Evan]

Dumb.

[Ben]

Are you dumb in both?

[Evan]

What the.

[Mike]

Did I say?

[Ben]

God damn.

[Evan]

I'm sorry, Ryan.

[Ben]

I'm off.

[Evan]

What if. If we're. If we're quoting Gerald Smeltzer on that one? It's deaf in one ear or dumb in both.

[Ryan]

Ryan is all kinds of flustered.

[Ben]

Oh, dude. I've had one freaking drink, dude. I've been trying to hang out with Evan for, like, two hours.

[Evan]

Well, that's your problem. Two hours, one drink.

[Ben]

Yeah, you're right. I got all flustered. We go to the pub for lunch today, and that was when Rich was saying that he couldn't keep up with Evan. I'm sitting there, and then my doctor walks in.

[Ryan]

Do you have a doctor?

[Ben]

I do have a doctor now. I finally went to the doctor after a couple years sitting there, three o' clock in the afternoon, drinking. Drinking a beer.

[Ryan]

Yeah, well, that was.

[Ken]

He probably looked at you and was like, yep, checks out.

[Ryan]

She.

[Ben]

So.

[Mike]

Oh, she.

[Ryan]

It was like yesterday in yesterday's video when Evan was like, hey, Big hey, do you think that we should ask Big Wrench if it's okay if we bounce this turbo mini truck off the rev limiter? I was like, something tells me if you ask a mechanic that it's like asking a doctor. Like, hey, do you think, like, I should eat healthy or. Or is like, fast food okay?

[Evan]

I just feel like rev limiters are. Are there for a reason. You know, they're put in place.

[Ryan]

How's that gone for you?

[Evan]

Pretty well most of the time, except for on Subarus because they have a soft head gasket.

[Ryan]

How about the rev limiter on that motorcycle that you brought home that had four miles on it? Because, like, it's interesting because you said that you didn't do anything wrong to it, but other people had other things to say.

[Ben]

Dude, you know what I love ev. You just. Normally people would. On the weekend, they'd take a minute off from their job. In your case, your job is breaking things. But you just continue. You just kept going, dude, you said, hey, guys, let me take this project home this weekend. I'll bring it back up north. I'll take care of it. Don't worry about it.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that's what I like about you have. You know, even when you're not on the clock, you're still practicing.

[Evan]

It's such a fine line. I don't know what's on the clock, what's off. It's all blended together.

[Ryan]

Oh, I guess one thing before we completely move on. Yeah. I think that there's a reason that my truck smells so bad on the inside.

[Evan]

What is it?

[Ryan]

I let Gavin drive my truck to go and pick something up, and then on the way home, he, you know, swung by the local watering hole to pick somebody up that might have overserved himself. And then he was swimming in the swamp.

[Mike]

Swimming in the swamp?

[Ryan]

He picked Evan up from the bar at 2am After Evan was swimming in the swamp.

[Gavin]

I mean, hopefully.

[Ryan]

And for some reason, my truck smells like a swamp in. In Evan's nostrils, apparently, for some reason.

[Evan]

In my defense, it has smelled like that long before.

[Ryan]

Oh, I think that's the last time that you were in it. And you also manage your smells in here. I wonder why. Yeah, I gave a wet mole rat.

[Evan]

Riding dude opening day at Zorbas inaugural swim in the swamp. You gotta do it.

[Ryan]

Is that a new thing?

[Evan]

I mean, I might have invented it, but it's gonna stay that way. I can't believe how many cattails are in there. I don't know what happened with those.

[Ryan]

It was amazing. I. I came in there the next morning. It was like when we were 12 years old and would ride a snowmobile through the cattails. That's what the inside of my truck looked like. And I was like, what could have possibly happened last night, Gav? He's like, oh, I picked Evan up from Zorabuz. And I was like, I know exactly what happened.

[Evan]

If the truck looked like that, can you imagine what I look like?

[Ryan]

I can't.

[Evan]

Thank God we don't have footage of that.

[Ryan]

So me and CJ went on the local news this morning. Or, like, North Dakota Today, I think is what it's called. And the whole, like, news set. Right. Pop up a video right here.

[Mike]

Like, very, very well lit.

[Ryan]

Yeah. But, like, you're walking in, you're, like, looking around. You're like, oh, my God, we're going to be sitting on that couch. Like, you see, like, the backside. It'd be like, walking into, like, the podcast studio and, like, kind of seeing, like, what I'm looking at right now. Right. And then that's, like, when it gets real.

[Ben]

You're nervous.

[Ken]

Yeah, I was actually. Because it was live. Yeah. And, like.

[Ryan]

Like, I didn't really know what they.

[Ken]

Were gonna say or if, like, I was just gonna black out and forget how to talk.

[Ryan]

Yeah. You're, like, walking in.

[Ken]

I didn't want my voice to start trembling too, you know?

[Mike]

Like, I think with those, I was.

[Ken]

Actually, like, kind of nervous. I don't even know if there's that many people watching it, like, relative to.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ken]

Everything else.

[Mike]

But I think those, well, just like anything they live on. Like, I remember doing some interviews when I was younger and if you say like one dumb sentence, like, they're not roast you. Yeah. Like, because they just think it's normal.

[Ryan]

Oh, well, you went on. Yeah, that's right. When you went on the news for.

[Mike]

This, you say like one dumb sentence.

[Ryan]

Like, what'd you say?

[Mike]

I don't. I can't.

[Ryan]

You got roasted for it. Yeah, it was for the snowboarding thing.

[Mike]

You'll just. You're talking, you're trying to sound. And I do it all the time.

[Ryan]

I'm sure you just didn't like it.

[Mike]

You know, I get very nervous around YouTube because, like, we'll definitely use it.

[Ken]

You're right. If you mess up around here, it's definitely fine.

[Mike]

That's YouTube. That's. It's the whole personality. But then like on the news, like, I'll, I. I could be do killing it and then say something like kind of where it makes you guys go like this and you'll roast me for the next day.

[Ryan]

Try and find what Mike said when he was on the news.

[Ken]

I don't think you can find it.

[Gavin]

It's got to be old.

[Ryan]

Well, anyway, so it's intense. It is intense. It's very like nerve wracking because it is like a pretty high production. So. And like everything we do, you'd be like, aren't you on camera like all day? Yeah, you can always cut it in post if you really don't like it. So anyway, we like sit down and we're like talking to the news anchor lady and she's like trying to get to know us a little bit more because we're basically there for the scholarship that we're doing for NDSCs. So we're with the NDSCS lady too. And going into it, I'm assuming that they were like, hey, the Seaboys are coming in. They have a YouTube channel. And she was probably like, okay, I better do my research to like, kind of know like who these guys are.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And so we like show up and we're talking to this lady and she's like, yeah, yeah, I watched like one of your videos, like, where you like intro it with like a drone to cj. And we're both sitting there like, I was so confused.

[Ken]

She's like, yeah, it was like you and the drone. I'm like, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

So it was.

[Ken]

You just watched like a podcast that.

[Ryan]

It was one of the podcasts. And then we're like, oh, okay, yeah, that was one of the podcasts. Like, not like, the main thing, I guess, that we do. One of the things that we do but doesn't, like, necessarily, like, represent, I guess, like Seaboise TV brand. If, like, that's what we're.

[Ken]

She was like, yeah, that was crazy.

[Ryan]

I was like, yeah, I guess so. So she says that. And then we're like, okay. And then she was like, yeah, and then, like, you know, I was looking at some other videos, like the 300 foot slip and slide. And we're like, oh, no, this woman just went to the. Went to the page and then just hit very bottom.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

She was like, yeah. And then like a music video. And we're like, oh, my God. We're like, oh, my God. This is what. This is what? You know.

[Ken]

I know.

[Ryan]

Like, the first three videos we ever made.

[Ken]

Kind of makes some backhanded compliments in there too, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah. And.

[Ben]

And what you guys are doing is so cute. That's fun.

[Ryan]

I think I even said it to her. I was like, yeah, no, we. Those don't really represent us.

[Ben]

It is kind of an odd thing to explain because, yes, you did it, but also you did it like, six.

[Ryan]

Years ago, eight years ago in the NDSCs. Lady was like, super nice. And she was like, yeah, but, like, you know, that was just a building. Building block to where you are now. She was, like, trying to defend us and be like, yeah, but you guys wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for moments like that or videos like that.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Ryan]

And I was like. I was like, thank you for saying that because I was going to go home and, you know, delete half of our channel. Not actually, because, I mean, we said that, like, we have so many videos that are just, like, quite frankly, just cringy and embarrassing.

[Mike]

But, like, you're, like, late at night contemplating, you don't know where to do the cutoffs. You're just like, half. Yeah, half the back half.

[Ryan]

That gives us to four years ago where we got somewhat okay at making videos, but it was kind of like one of those, like, uncomfortable moments, I guess, of like, you know, she's clearly just trying to do her research.

[Ken]

Next time, we're sending Evan and Ken.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Ryan]

I. I don't think next week.

[Evan]

I don't think that's a good idea.

[Ken]

That would be fantastic.

[Gavin]

I mean, a long time ago, Jake and I did, like, a career day for a middle school morehead.

[Ken]

Oh, my God, Imagine that.

[Mike]

Why?

[Ryan]

What was the context of that?

[Ken]

You're trying to tell kids, like, oh, yeah, this is a career option.

[Ryan]

Be a YouTuber. That's terrible. Seems like a terrible set up in, like, a gymnasium. And you had like, how many.

[Gavin]

Like, a career fair, fourth or fifth grade classroom. They brought in, like, a bunch of different people. And we were.

[Ryan]

Gonna say, where are those kids now?

[Ben]

Jail. They're old right now.

[Mike]

I think sometimes people don't realize, and it's like, all these kids love the Sea Boys. And then they'll, like, ask us to do, like, you just get in certain situations where, like, I don't know if I'm the man for the job here, but I appreciate the time. Here's why Ken and Evan going on the news is a good idea, because we get something to laugh about for the next. That's what it is. We got it.

[Ryan]

We got it. The next PR opportunity we have, let's just.

[Ken]

They ask a question. Ken just goes, evan, you want to answer that? And Evan goes, oh, nope, you got it.

[Ryan]

Ken goes, next question, next question.

[Mike]

Because then if we just never said anything about it, they'd be like, dang, they made a fool of theirselves. But if we just then brought it up on the next podcast or something, we'd. You're like, yeah, we. It was an inside job. We knew. We knew these two couldn't talk.

[Ken]

I very well could have it up, though. It was. It was pretty easy to up.

[Gavin]

It's a whole nother level of stress when it's literally live. That thing. Your people are watching that.

[Ben]

I did look it up on Facebook here it has nine likes.

[Ken]

Wow, Fargo.

[Ben]

Local news blowing up.

[Evan]

Dude.

[Ryan]

I like doing things like that, though, because it puts us in front of a new audience. There's so many times that we're out and about and. And different people know us from different things.

[Ken]

Yeah, it was nice, too. Like, it was just like a different kind of uncomfortableness, you know, like. Like, it was like, normally you're kind of just comfortable. Like, whatever we're kind of doing for the most part. I mean, like, there's plenty of situations where you're not. But, like, it was just a different kind of uncomfortable because I was like, damn, I haven't been this, like, nervous for something in a while, actually.

[Ben]

I thought of that this morning when I was showering and I had a decision to make whether I was either going to go with you guys and be on the interview or I was going to come to the shop and get everything ready around. And I went oh, I'm kind of nervous for that. I'm just gonna text him, see if it's cool if I don't go and I. And I get everything figured out around here, and you guys are like, yep, that's cool. We'll handle it. And then about 25 minutes later, I was like, damn, one day, you know, maybe we'll be on the Today show or something. And then I miss those building blocks. I missed the building blocks, and now I gotta jump all the way to this, like, really stressful thing.

[Mike]

You know, luckily for you, Ken and Evan will be.

[Ken]

They'll be the ones on the Table Day show.

[Ben]

Thank goodness. Thank you, brother.

[Ryan]

I. I got asked to do, like, a TEDX talk.

[Ben]

Oh, really?

[Ryan]

Yeah, I. I was just like, oh. And I never, like, gave him. I never gave him a yes or no. And then I'm sure they just found somebody else. This TEDx, Fargo. I was like, well, how many, like, TEDx do they do, like, a year? Maybe I have some more time to, like, prepare. They were like, one a year.

[Mike]

Oh, wow.

[Ben]

And then you were the one. One guy for the year.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And I was like, that's a lot of pressure. And then I was like, how many people? And they were like, like, 4,000.

[Ken]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ryan]

Or 25.

[Ken]

What would you even.

[Ryan]

Or something like that.

[Ken]

I mean, you just go up and talk.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I guess normally there's, like, some.

[Ken]

Kind of learning thing, though, with those, like, you're trying to, like. Yeah. Teach the eye. You have, like, lessons.

[Mike]

You don't think Ben can.

[Ken]

Like, what's his woven lesson? No, you can be an idiot and still make it, or what? If I was gonna.

[Evan]

That's a valuable lesson to learn.

[Ryan]

If I was gonna say yes, I was probably gonna just have you do it, and you could have woven it in with, like, your concussions led to this.

[Ben]

They go back, will you do this? And he goes, yep, for sure. I'll be there.

[Ryan]

Well, I was gonna just commit, but. Because I think that would be, you know, more applicable to a situation like that. But also, it's like, we're kind of in a unique position for our area where I think it would still be interesting. But I've done a couple things like that, too. But, yeah, that one was, like. I was. I was, like, so nervous about it, and I just. I was like, I can't. I don't. I don't really want to.

[Mike]

Last night. Last night.

[Ryan]

And now I feel like kind of a. Because I was like, oh, that would have been a cool opportunity.

[Mike]

But hey, it might happen again.

[Ryan]

Maybe.

[Mike]

Last night, Sydney was like, you guys ever thought about like taking improv classes? And I was like, no, but I have.

[Evan]

You have?

[Ben]

Really?

[Mike]

Yeah, it's kind of.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, filming it would be. Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Filming it as a bit would be really funny too. And I don't think we really have the time, nor am I proposing that we actually just like take improv classes. But you'd think it would make you quicker, funnier, wittier.

[Evan]

Do.

[Ben]

Are the improv classes classes or is it just training?

[Ken]

I think you're just doing it.

[Ben]

You're just doing it. It's practicing. I would imagine that every day that.

[Mike]

The improv classes around here are like nothing like they are in like Hollywood. Not that I'm trying to go to Hollywood improv classes either, but that's where we'll.

[Ken]

The best place in the world.

[Ryan]

Did you guys take public speaking?

[Mike]

Yes, and I loved it.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Mike]

The only good training I ever got. Yeah. Dude, I hated it because once you get over the whole like, it was just a mindset thing, like, no, I don't actually want to be up there speaking to. But I only had like 30 kids in my class. But yeah, once you get past that and you're just like, screw it, just act like same for the camera. Just like, act like you're not awkward and then you're not. But if you think you're awkward, you probably are.

[Ryan]

My biggest thing is like, I just, I hated like talking about something that you don't care about. Like, it'd be so easy to go in and do, I guess Sea Boys or something that I actually know about. Not in front of them 4,000, but last speech.

[Mike]

Just ironic since I'm sitting next to this guy. I did my last speech on why you should wear a helmet when you ride motorcycle.

[Ben]

See, then that's.

[Mike]

It went great. Everyone's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you should. I mean, again, I'm speaking like 30 people and probably two of them rode motorcycles.

[Ben]

So can you imagine Evans in the back and he just like, it's like a full blown debate.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they're like, this isn't a debate, sir.

[Evan]

Yeah, kids, wear your helmet.

[Ben]

Wear your helmet. Do as he says, not as he does.

[Ryan]

Exactly. Sorry I'm late.

[Evan]

I was cranking my hog.

[Ben]

Is that what that shirt says?

[Ken]

Wow.

[Ben]

Where did you acquire that?

[Evan]

Well, where everyone gets everything nowadays. Ebay, the Internet.

[Ryan]

Yeah, the Internet.

[Mike]

Was it even.

[Ben]

What side of the Internet?

[Evan]

It was a straight up Facebook ad. Followed the link, it had a little shot, pay Two buttons.

[Jeff]

Done.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They make it awfully convenient. We gotta get on that. Are we on that?

[Gavin]

Yes. No. Yeah. Yeah, we are.

[Ken]

Dude, that's.

[Ryan]

That's a dangerous thing. I don't know if you guys have set up, but, like, if I'm just sitting on the couch, my wallet's over there. I just go, like, you can double click it twice and it checks out. I'm like, God, I didn't need that. It was so convenient.

[Evan]

Another novel. Don't even Shirt in the closet.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, Ryan, you're kind of off that now, huh?

[Ben]

Yeah, well, I figured out my goal was to have a new one every podcast, but it's like 25, 30 bucks plus shipping. It ended up being like 40 bucks an episode in T shirts that was coming out of the personal pocket.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ben]

And I was like, damn, this is kind of. This is kind of excessive.

[Ryan]

And nobody ever said anything about. Everybody hated. Ryan's wearing like, the, like, the most wax shirt, expecting everyone to be like, hey. And then the comments be like, hey, nobody. It's just crickets.

[Mike]

We used to. It does suck that you're like. You get the. You're kind of off that because now you just have like 30 shirts in your arsenal that you've already worn.

[Ben]

Oh, dude.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's bad.

[Ben]

I mean, also, maybe I just have matured and I think that they just aren't as funny. I just was going through a phase.

[Mike]

Now you drive Corvettes and wear jean shorts.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Ken]

First of all, yeah, you kind of.

[Ryan]

I think it works.

[Mike]

I'm.

[Ken]

You were prematurely wearing jean shorts before. Even the Corvette owners around get a walk through.

[Ryan]

You don't even have to stop wearing those.

[Mike]

Hopping out of the Corvette is so satisfying.

[Ryan]

Oh, and New Balances.

[Ben]

But this is the modern day young man's version of the Jord's.

[Ken]

Just wear them for forever now.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's a Jord summer, dude.

[Ken]

He'll never change his style. 60 and then that'll be the old style. The old man style.

[Mike]

Yeah, they're coming back cold around here.

[Ryan]

Do you guys remember when I got my Corvette and dressed up like a Corvette guy? And then we just happened to drive through Cormorant? We met a guy in a Corvette, three Corvettes. And I hopped out and I'm wearing like, the same thing that these guys are wearing. Like you.

[Ben]

And he was running legit.

[Ken]

It was pretty stereotypical.

[Mike]

My favorite part was when you were razzing the other Corvette driver for not having any Corvette gear.

[Ben]

He didn't have a Corvette hat.

[Ryan]

On, well, where's your Corvette merch?

[Mike]

And he's like, oh, it's. It's at home. Next time I see you, you better have it.

[Ryan]

He's like, yeah. I think he was like, no, I will, I will. Like, I usually wear it. Yeah. Because he, like, kind of got caught slipping. It was like one of those situations.

[Ken]

So I don't hop in mine without the hat.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So it was. It was funny because I have obviously been so excited. Get my car and all that. And, yeah. Alondra texts me, and she goes into Fargo and she goes, yeah, I saw a bunch of them driving around today. Which it just is a slight bummer. She doesn't know that's a bad thing, but, like, it was a slight bummer hearing that, like, a bunch of people have, you know, the same cars, you.

[Evan]

Whatever.

[Ben]

And I go, oh, well, they're probably not Z06s. You know, whatever. That's okay. So I hype myself up. The other day, she was at Target, and she sent me a picture, and It's a Corvette Z06 parked in a handicap stall with a handicap sticker in the window.

[Ryan]

So people.

[Ben]

Ryan and I went, damn.

[Ken]

Still a cool car.

[Ryan]

It's so cool. Handicapped people can't drive.

[Ben]

No, I just figured that it would just. It just kept the tradition on that old.

[Ken]

Like an old man.

[Ben]

Yeah, Someone that handicapped. Yeah, you're right.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

You don't have to be old.

[Ryan]

No, yeah.

[Ben]

Be young.

[Ken]

And it's just the implied that, like, only old men drive.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

It's like, it's not necessarily a young man's car. Like, it's like 40 plus.

[Ben]

To be fair, that guy that handicaps all. He was driving a red Z06 with the big wing and all that. I don't know.

[Mike]

Sorry.

[Ben]

Pocket.

[Evan]

Speaking of stall, I got a piss bad.

[Mike]

See ya.

[Ryan]

How about spot?

[Ben]

Yeah, sure.

[Mike]

Yeah. Parking spot.

[Ben]

That reminds me. I tell you guys about the fire that I put out and. And saved the neighborhood.

[Ryan]

No, you didn't.

[Mike]

That was cool. It was very.

[Ken]

I saw it on your Snapchat.

[Ben]

So I'm driving to DL, and on the left side of the road, they're like, the ditch was on fire. And I'm like, oh, that's. That's pretty weird. But, you know, ditches don't just start on fire. It's probably like a controlled burn or something. And then so I. I keep driving probably another, like, tenth of a mile. And then there's some guys, some plumbers that are out in the ditch, stomping out the Fires. So I whip around and I go, like, what's going on with the fire? And they're like, we don't know.

[Mike]

Plumbers putting out fires. What does this world come to? Sorry.

[Ben]

And so they were like, I don't know. We just saw it was on fire, so I whipped around and, like, tried to help stomp out the fire, but it was super windy, and it was growing towards the woods. Like, it was. It was expanding fast. And there's a house in the woods. And I was posted your shoes.

[Mike]

Literally posted my shoes in the trash afterwards. But sacrificed to put the fire out.

[Ben]

So I didn't really put it out. I think I slowed it down a little bit. But then eventually it got so out of control that I couldn't do anything. And then the fire department showed up and they put it out. And then after it was out, wasn't.

[Ken]

It the same guys that came when we were.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, it was the same guys.

[Ken]

And they were like, you again. You're starting to ditch on fire now, huh?

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

They all are looking at me like, oh, great, What'd this guy do? And they're like, he says that? Exactly that. He goes, oh, great, you again. I go, I swear this one wasn't me. And I'm like, we laughed about it. But he was like, what? What actually is happening? And I was like, I don't know. Just drove by, and the ditch was on fire.

[Ryan]

That is so bizarre.

[Ben]

The funniest part was there was a kid that was from Colorado, and he was driving to Minneapolis. And so it was. It was by chance he went out of the way to drive by our shop and see Cormorant and just kind of experience the area.

[Mike]

Right.

[Ben]

They were going to go get lunch in DL and as they're driving by, they see me parked on the side of the road, stomping out.

[Ken]

They're always up to something.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And so, like, I kind of thought he was local and so started chatting. He goes, no, I'm from Colorado. Like, I just got out of the car for the first time in 14 hours.

[Ken]

Like, wow.

[Ben]

And I just drove down the road and saw you stomping on a fire.

[Ryan]

I was like, damn, he's telling you this while his pant leg is on fire.

[Mike]

What?

[Ryan]

So what started that, you think?

[Ken]

Probably cigarette.

[Ben]

Either cigarette or, like, chain sparking on the highway, maybe. Oh, yeah, that'll happen sometimes.

[Ken]

That's one thing that you, Ken and Evan, you guys don't got to worry about starting a ditch on fire with your vapes.

[Evan]

I thought that's plus one for you guys.

[Ryan]

Eh, I wasn't quite sure.

[Ken]

There you go.

[Gavin]

I suspected that.

[Ryan]

So I walked into our storage unit yesterday. I saw this four wheeler sitting in there and then I double took and I was like, why do we have a 2008 Suzuki four wheeler that used to be owned by our good friend Justin when we first started the channel. If you're a real og, probably know what it looks like that Micah bought from Justin. Then it sat in the corner of our storage unit until we said, you got to do something with this. And then he sold it to Justin.

[Mike]

Actually, Justin, that's not true though.

[Ryan]

And I have a feeling Money Mike strikes again. Somebody bought it.

[Mike]

That's not true. You guys didn't make me sell it. I was offered to someone wanted to buy it, a close friend of mine. And I said, sure, I'll sell it to you. And then he said, I don't need this anymore. You want it back? And I said, hell yeah.

[Ken]

And why do you buy it back at full price?

[Mike]

No.

[Ken]

Oh, that's good.

[Mike]

Less.

[Ryan]

But what do you plan on doing with that, Mike?

[Mike]

Pro Spinning the block, dude.

[Evan]

I think it's amazing. Those.

[Mike]

No, that's a great wheeler here. I'm just like. I'm like on a nostalgic note. So like the only race squad now made is Yamaha. They make the Raptor and not even a race squad. And then they make. Yeah, the 450R. It's sick that they still do. No other company makes a quad. And the cool thing is is that that tooth in 2008 is damn near just as good as the 2023 we have in the garage. And I just wanted it back.

[Evan]

And it looks cool.

[Mike]

Sick quad. Yeah, and it's a sick quad, man. I don't know.

[Gavin]

Maybe a sucker, but you gotta have an accountant.

[Ryan]

Unreal.

[Gavin]

Prove your purchases.

[Ryan]

I would hate that.

[Ken]

He wouldn't be able to buy anything.

[Mike]

That'D be exactly like me. Asking my accountant is the same vibe as like asking the lawyer or this and that. Should I buy it?

[Ryan]

Oh, probably not.

[Mike]

I wouldn't recommend it. And then I'm just like, why'd I even ask?

[Ken]

Yeah, you already know the answer.

[Ben]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They say no. And then you're like, well, what the hell am I paying you for?

[Mike]

No, but yeah, our the homie Justin og Justin Hansen used to own it. And then I bought it from him and then I sold it to Ryan's cousin Justin Justin. And then he wrote it for a while and then sold it back to me.

[Ryan]

I just remember it, like, I just. I just thought it didn't run.

[Mike]

I think the last. No, it doesn't run. It was. Yeah, it runs now.

[Ryan]

It does.

[Ben]

Justin fixed it.

[Ryan]

Oh, okay.

[Evan]

Because you were debating there to say, like, if it was broken or not. Maybe. But then you came right back and said, it runs now.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Which means it clearly was broken.

[Ryan]

It was when he sold it.

[Evan]

That's why.

[Mike]

But, like, I don't.

[Ryan]

I remember it as Mike do something with this four wheeler because it was just sitting in the way. Broken for, like, two years.

[Gavin]

Wasn't like, oil drain plug, like, seized into it and you couldn't drain the oil out of it.

[Mike]

Oh, I hope not.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Been drained for, like.

[Ben]

Oh, you never changed.

[Evan]

I heard it was just cross threaded so hard that you just had to, like, tilt it to the side to get the oil out and put fresh stuff in.

[Mike]

I don't even remember.

[Ryan]

Maybe that's what they were doing.

[Mike]

It looks clean now. And it runs great.

[Evan]

It looks super clean. So who cares about the drain plug or the transmission on that Porsche?

[Mike]

It was like, it would. When we were jumping it.

[Ryan]

They watched the plastics.

[Mike]

It would kill itself in the air. And I, like, couldn't figure out why I was doing that.

[Evan]

It didn't sound dangerous.

[Ryan]

Yeah. And it's. But it's good now.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Have you jumped it?

[Mike]

No, I haven't jumped it.

[Ryan]

Did he ever?

[Evan]

I.

[Mike]

Probably.

[Ryan]

Okay, I guess the verdict's still out.

[Evan]

Rules full circle. Right back where we started.

[Mike]

I mean, dude, we're chilling. I mean, if I didn't have all these toys, what would you guys steal the motor out of?

[Ken]

It's true.

[Ryan]

It's true. That's a great point.

[Ken]

Mike's terrible financial decisions make a lot.

[Mike]

Of great content, and that's personal opinion.

[Ken]

The terrible financial decision that might be embellishing, but. But, yeah, no, they make a lot of great content.

[Evan]

So I'm just excited because I've always thought those quads were so sick. Never rode one.

[Mike]

Did it for Evan.

[Ben]

Did you hear that?

[Ken]

He thinks it's.

[Ben]

Did you hear that?

[Ryan]

Yeah, clip that.

[Ben]

Clip it. Put it out there. Dude, I think squads are sick.

[Evan]

I got no.

[Ryan]

Yep. Y. Y.

[Ben]

You said it, dude.

[Gavin]

I heard.

[Evan]

I think Suzuki.

[Ben]

I heard.

[Mike]

I've always thought those quads were sick.

[Ben]

Yeah, dude, you think quads are sick? No, that new T shirt. Quads are sick.

[Evan]

That Evan with.

[Ryan]

With Evan's, like, signature underneath it. Can we make it quad, quad are sick. And then signed off by Evan.

[Gavin]

All Micah, you got to design it. We'll have it out by next Monday.

[Evan]

Do I really need to admit I have. I have fun on a quad once in a while, you know? Have you.

[Ben]

It's okay.

[Mike]

You can have you guys. Evan Wheelie the R6 swapped Raptor, Yamaha Raptor quad. It is insane. I was like, I mean he's not, he's going to be able to wheelie it, but it's not going to be that crazy. And then it was insane.

[Ryan]

Speaking of quad wheelies or quad four wheelers, I just saw like this kit that like makes crotch rockets into four wheelers.

[Evan]

Really?

[Ryan]

I'm trying to get one.

[Evan]

We already did that.

[Ryan]

Yeah, but leaving the, the bike like you're leaving the bike.

[Evan]

I know, I know what you're saying.

[Ben]

I'm sorry.

[Evan]

Yeah. You're saying put a swing arm in a front end on an R6, then.

[Ken]

You don't got your motor. Swap.

[Evan]

Yeah, you just swap everything else. Which one's better, man?

[Ben]

Big Wrench and Gavin are going to be stoked.

[Mike]

Well, that's a kit though.

[Ben]

So that's what I mean. Yeah, they'll be way easier got that.

[Evan]

To look Sometimes those guys always still find a problem with the kit.

[Mike]

Where I go.

[Evan]

If it was you or I that ordered this kit, they still got the welders and the grinders and everything else out. Even it was a all inclusive kit, dude.

[Ryan]

Every time I show up and. And yeah, I think that, oh, this one should be easy. And then they're grinding and welding away. I'm like, what the hell? What are you guys even doing?

[Mike]

Dude, that's my favorite part is when I do go down there though, and they're like literally tossing sparks across the shop. Like hell yeah. These guys are doing shit.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

All they're doing is put together, putting together some pre made shelves. That should work perfectly.

[Ryan]

Don't do the Gavin is.

[Ben]

Gavin's cutting them apart and Brian's welding them back together.

[Ryan]

These guys, man, they are so good. We're sitting there just like, yep, yeah.

[Ben]

Look at all that work.

[Ryan]

They're like, these idiots think we're actually doing something right now.

[Mike]

Dude, Ben just sang Dracula, but he.

[Jeff]

Was like.

[Ryan]

I knew what you guys knew. I. I knew you guys knew what I was singing for a second. Yeah, I guess.

[Jeff]

My name is Jeff.

[Ryan]

So.

[Mike]

Brother.

[Ryan]

Hey, get out of here. So speaking of nascar, can we talk about that video of Kyle Busch getting punched in the face?

[Evan]

Yes.

[Ryan]

How funny was that?

[Jeff]

That made me the sport grow. You guys also made the sport grow by going there and not as much as that Though I got a side story. Not even close on the second day. So first day was Xfinity race. Second day was cup series at Talladega. Tala.

[Ryan]

We brought Jeff to Talladega.

[Jeff]

I can't thank them enough. I owe them my life for that.

[Ryan]

But anyways, big nascar.

[Jeff]

I was just taking pictures for all all the fans on their cell phone for the boys and the fans who came up and the people that were taking care of us in NASCAR leaned into me. They go, the only people that I've seen get stopped more in my entire life taking care of people at VIP is Bert Kreischer and the Sea Boys.

[Ryan]

We didn't pay him to come on and say that. That one.

[Jeff]

Is that. That is why we hit four airports every two feet. They got stopped at every place.

[Ryan]

It was wild. The nascar. The NASCAR love was crazy, though.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

The NASCAR love was insane. You guys just, like, got stopped by everyone. Pit road boulevard, vip.

[Evan]

Didn't matter.

[Jeff]

And then Brianna Chicken Fry is like, who are these C boys?

[Evan]

They got 3.5.

[Jeff]

I need to get my numbers up.

[Ben]

So.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that was a great time. That was a great time. Jeff. Whenever we lost Jeff, you just look up for an elevated surface, and he was probably up there dancing. And Jeff, we got invited back to nascar.

[Ben]

Oh, this is the best part.

[Evan]

I go.

[Jeff]

We go to Ryan's little sister's. Micah's girlfriend birthday on May 1st.

[Ryan]

Thank you. Thanks, dude.

[Jeff]

And Ryan leans into me, goes, guess the proposition we just got from NASCAR today. I'm like, what? He goes, fourth of July, Chicago, we're invited. And I go, sick. He goes, but we denied because we're gonna be on the sandbar in Pelican. And then he goes. And Ryan goes, I'm working on Daytona next year.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They were. They were talking to us, and they were like, would you guys want to come back? And Jeff. And Jeff, team loved Jeff.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Ken]

Are you.

[Ryan]

You're still friends with all of them, like on Snapchat and everything?

[Jeff]

Snapchat, reply to my story. They like my story. They go, I hope you're doing well. I'm, like, cheering for your Florida Panthers hockey team.

[Ryan]

Boys with all of them? No. So Kyle Busch getting punched in the face.

[Ken]

I. I imagine that's what it would have looked like if you two would have crossed paths. Exactly. That altercation.

[Ryan]

That's why we had security the second day. Otherwise, you know, Kyle literally, what, would have got punched in the face.

[Ken]

I think he caught wind that you were in town talking, too. So it was like. I mean, that's why they were like, yo, you guys need this security guy. What was his name again? Was the man.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Shout out Sam.

[Ken]

He wasn't as big as I was hoping, though. He was jacked, but, yeah, he would. Like, he would have for sure took down Kyle Busch.

[Ryan]

Do you guys kind of get it, though? After seeing, like, kind of what he did, and then. Then he gets in an altercation, and granted, he didn't start it, but he was, like, in his face. Like, you get why? Like, that's a meme to hate on him. And it's not even a meme. Like, that's why so many people hate him. Like, you know, Robin's racing, and then somebody passes him and then he just gets all pissed off, takes them out. Yeah. Took him out, spins him out, and then is like, what, what, What? I didn't do anything. And then he gets socked like he should have.

[Mike]

Legendary.

[Evan]

He got hit pretty good WWE to me.

[Ryan]

Oh, you thought it was staged.

[Evan]

That punch was soft. It kind of grazed off him.

[Ben]

He's a NASCAR driver.

[Evan]

Yeah, I get it. I get it.

[Ken]

I think he got him.

[Evan]

I thought that was still.

[Mike]

I think.

[Evan]

I think that they know that that clip's gonna go more viral than any normal race weekend. The best thing they can have is crashes and fights.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that'd be great. I agree with that.

[Ken]

Yeah, he still got fine. They still find them, But, I mean, 75 grand find, like, the racing, that's probably nothing.

[Evan]

Sponsor paid for. The guy that threw the punch didn't lose nothing.

[Ryan]

So that's what I thought.

[Ken]

It was awesome. He made himself look cool.

[Ben]

I'm now. Yeah, but that's the funny thing. So now they're asking that all the drivers are back from last week. They're asking, what do you think about Ricky getting fined? All this money and a lot of the drivers figured out that he got fined 75 grand, like, in the interviews, and they were like, they find him 75 grand. And all I've seen on NASCAR's, like, social media is that fight. It's like. It's kind of. It's kind of bass acords, you know?

[Ryan]

Wait, what? That is crazy.

[Ken]

They should be thinking they should be paying him. They give him a bonus.

[Ben]

Yeah, they should be giving him a bonus.

[Ken]

UFC in knockout bonus.

[Ben]

Trying to have a clean sport. You know, you've got giant sponsors that are paying millions of dollars to be a part of, like, a legitimate thing.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

But think about it.

[Ryan]

They're paying to get eyeballs. They're paying for attention. They're.

[Ken]

They still gotta find them, though, because they act like they condone that behavior, but, yeah, 75 grand's probably pennies to that guy and his team, for sure. His team for sure, with how much it costs to go racing, but still. Yeah, I was totally worth it.

[Ben]

I was pretty. I watched it live. It was legendary. I was hollering, like, when you're watching that live.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, I bet that was like watching a UFC fan.

[Ken]

They, like, followed him up with the camera and everything. It was like. It was like. It was like he was walking backstage at a wwe.

[Ben]

My favorite part, dude, is he parked his car in his pit stop.

[Ken]

That was a savage move. I thought that was amazing.

[Ben]

As far as it gets.

[Ken]

I never even thought of that.

[Ben]

I know.

[Ken]

Yeah, you go park your Rex car in their spot. Just get out and walk away. That's an Evan move. I could see you doing that. You hop out, they're like, get this.

[Ryan]

Thing out of here.

[Ken]

You just throw your hands and walk away.

[Mike]

Piece of.

[Ryan]

And then stepped away.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Dude, it got so many eyes. Like, I. Yeah, I feel like I want to start punching people.

[Ryan]

Do it.

[Ben]

Do it, Mike.

[Ryan]

Do it right now, Mike.

[Mike]

That's what I was wondering when you were talking. So I. I kind of missed that first part.

[Ryan]

Were you saying he just turns around, punches Evan square in the face?

[Evan]

I dodge it.

[Ryan]

And then it's just clipped like. Evans really had enough of Ryan's at family dinners.

[Mike]

Evan has, and he just.

[Ryan]

Oh, Micah, sorry.

[Ben]

Wait, why am I the menace at family dinners?

[Ryan]

I don't know. Apparently, like, you're not, like, condoning Micah dating your sister.

[Mike]

Yeah, but that wouldn't. I think that would not be a good reason for me to punch him.

[Ken]

He just punches them.

[Mike]

Yeah, but have you punched anybody in your life?

[Ben]

You might have been just pretty.

[Ryan]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Ben]

If you had your bodyguard punch him, you imagine.

[Ryan]

Imagine, go, beat this guy up. Goes and beats him up. I'm. I'm like, stepping back and I'm like, sam, get in there. Like, get in there.

[Ben]

That's the guy. Go beat him up. He goes, I don't know, man. He's not doing anything.

[Ryan]

He's like, what? Are you kidding? I thought I was just.

[Ken]

What are they paying you for?

[Evan]

Ben throws a drink at him now. Sam, do something.

[Ryan]

It wouldn't have been pretty. Cuz I would have had. I've, like, I talked. I talk so much. Like, there's no way that I could have just backed down. Especially, like, in front of my boys like that. Like, you guys would have just been just. Just fueling the fire.

[Ken]

I've been hilarious.

[Mike]

Kyle Busch is a lot bigger than you.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he's a pretty big guy. He's a pretty big guy. It was just so funny, though. I. I saw that video and I was like, there goes that boy again. Pissing people off.

[Ben]

There goes that boy. See, the bummer is, like, when a fellow racer punches him. It's like, nice, you know, two competing equals. But if you came up, I think.

[Ken]

They'Re just a team.

[Ben]

Bud Lights. It would have been after 19 beers.

[Mike]

Drink 19 beers.

[Ben]

If you came up to him after 19 beers, it would have just been assault.

[Mike]

Dude, why I just defending you, man. I don't even want to see anyone make you. If you were to be like, yes, I can. I'm like, I don't want to be a part of that.

[Evan]

Ben could drink 19, dude.

[Mike]

There's no way.

[Evan]

On a NASCAR Sunday.

[Mike]

There's no way.

[Evan]

There's like. There's like eight hours at least.

[Mike]

There's no freaking way.

[Evan]

Only two hour.

[Ryan]

You don't think I could.

[Mike]

No, I don't, but I'm not challenging.

[Ken]

I think you can do it in a day.

[Ben]

A day? Yeah.

[Ken]

Yeah, for sure.

[Mike]

19 Bud Lights. Have to be.

[Ben]

I would like to do a Sea Boys case race.

[Ken]

I bet you would, Ryan.

[Ben]

Pretty fun.

[Evan]

I will be so far ahead and literally pass out on 23. You guys will be on, like, five. I'm gonna race right through them and then just fall short. Just a victory.

[Ryan]

No, Mike. I guess you might be right. I don't know if I could do that. And if I did, it would be an ugly sight.

[Mike]

That's what I'm getting.

[Ryan]

It would be an ugly.

[Mike]

That's what I'm getting at.

[Ryan]

He's like, I don't know if anybody's.

[Ken]

Very pretty after 19 beers.

[Mike]

Yeah. To be fair, Cousin Joe.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, right. We were. We're at the snowmobile race. Levi Lavalley, snowmobile race. And we were talking with our buddy Adam, and he was like, yeah, dude.

[Evan]

Dude.

[Ryan]

My buddy that I brought with is passed out. Right? Or he's just taking a nap right now because he's drank 35 beers today. He got up at 6.

[Evan]

What?

[Ryan]

And started drinking huge. And it was probably. It wasn't even at this point. Yeah, yeah, he was. And he was like, yeah, he's actually drank 35 beers today.

[Ben]

Why did he decide to do that?

[Ryan]

I think there's a Saturday.

[Evan]

It pains me because I can't remember homie's name and I'm really fond of him.

[Mike]

Him.

[Evan]

We had some good times that weekend.

[Ken]

That. That. That was enough for Evan to like that guy. So he drank 35 beers a day. I like him.

[Ryan]

That was at.

[Evan]

I was around for a few of them.

[Ryan]

Yeah. So how many more did. Like, what was his number?

[Evan]

I can't be responsible for the count. I just know that every time we were around, there were beers going down well. And I think the prerequisites to that story is, like, they got jammed up, basically pulled an all nighter. They. They, like, they didn't sleep. They just drank for like 48 hours.

[Ryan]

The last time I hung out with that crew, I got my appendix taken out the next day. True story, dude. True story.

[Evan]

I literally heard that story from them. I don't know why I. Maybe I forgot. But, yeah, they told me that. I'm like, what are you talking about? Like, yeah, Ben told us. Last time he partied with us, he had to get his appendix removed.

[Ryan]

Dude, straight up.

[Ken]

They're probably pretty proud of that.

[Ben]

They were.

[Ryan]

We broke him.

[Ken]

We broke. You really haven't been the same since.

[Ryan]

No, I have not. And I told him that too. I was like, dude, you guys, you bought my life. My life has actually kind of been in the gutter ever since I hung out with you last. And I know people just say that as a joke, but I'm dead serious. Like, I've not been the same pretty crazy dude.

[Mike]

My favorite part was when we were at the after party or I stayed, you know, for after the races. There's a little after I stayed party. Gavin stayed too.

[Ben]

And then.

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't know why I called you.

[Evan]

I was like, which Gavin did you just call me?

[Mike]

Evan with a G. No, no.

[Evan]

Which am I? Gabby Wheeler? Gavin Wrench.

[Mike]

Gavin. I called you Evan with a G on accident.

[Ben]

Gavin.

[Mike]

Moving on.

[Ryan]

Gavin, what's your.

[Mike]

There was like, why was I.

[Ryan]

Why are you so offended right now?

[Evan]

I'm not necessarily offended, dude. I just need to know which one he was talking about.

[Mike]

Adam's girlfriend or someone was like. Like, this isn't my scene at all here. Like, all these, like, snowy races, everyone getting drunk. And then Slim walks over, dude, Evan's buddy Slim. Like, right after she says that, I'm like, oh, yeah, they are pretty rowdy. Slim walks over, literally, like, spits on us. And it's just like, these are my people.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Mike]

Yes, they are.

[Ryan]

Slim.

[Evan]

God bless Slim.

[Ben]

Yeah, God bless Slim. You guys. You guys are my people. Thank you for being here. You guys. You guys are my people.

[Ryan]

New giveaway Thursday.

[Ben]

Holy. It's gonna be a banger.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It's going to be the biggest bang a banger's ever been.

[Ben]

Bangers ever. Bang.

[Mike]

Shout out puppies and coffee.

[Ryan]

Shout out puppies and coffee. And rich. Shout out to you guys for listening and we'll see you guys next week.
