Transcript

[A]

Oh, my God, man. Ev, I just gotta say, I could see you getting into drifting after today.

[B]

I think I did get into drifting today.

[A]

Yeah, for sure. Like I'm saying, you might be going to the track, bringing that Miata on a trailer, going all over the country.

[B]

I mean, a little traveling circuit, dude, I'd be down. It's literally like a rush. And I don't even. That was pretty low horsepower car.

[A]

And yeah, it was fun, dude. I was. I was cheesing the whole time. Before you hopped in the driver's seat.

[C]

Me and Evan drove it home after the whole drifting day. We drove the Miata home, and I'm driving, Evan's in the passenger seat. I go, man, I kind of want to just drift this thing. And he goes, yes, dude, drift the on ramp. Drift the on ramp. I look over, I go, you know what, Ev? You and I are on different levels if you think that you can drift this entire on ramp.

[A]

He probably could.

[C]

I know he could, dude. Second gear. It was truly amazing.

[A]

And that thing didn't even have an angle kit, so it was amazing that it was doing as well as it. It did, you know? And then you got Mike's full on race car over there, just spitting and sputtering, blowing smoke. It looked like a chimney.

[D]

We brought the trailer for the Miata to come home because we assumed it was going to be broken. But who knew that Micah's car wouldn't even be able to run up on the trailer?

[C]

I mean, I knew. I had a feeling. I had a sneaky suspicion. But I do feel bad for the kid. That might be why he's not here right now, is he's busy crying about, you know, spending all the money on. On the car. And then he just gets made fun of the whole time.

[D]

I know how that feels.

[C]

I mean, it's tough.

[A]

I mean, you guys kind of do.

[C]

It to yourself, because if you do and then. And then we're in the position of.

[D]

Like, you know, you got to make fun of us.

[C]

Have to.

[A]

Like, no one tells you to buy those things.

[D]

No, I agree. It. That is why it hurts so much, is because you're not mad at your friends making fun of you, and you're not even really mad at not working. You're just disappointed or mad at yourself for making a bad purchase. You just feel dumb. And that's really what gets to you.

[A]

I think when it's really funny, though, is when the rest of us are like, I can't believe he's gonna. Gonna actually buy that thing. And Then. And then we're like, I wouldn't buy that. And then they buy it anyways. And then just. Still just ends up being. Sucks, like a disaster. And you're like, dude, I saw that coming from about 10 miles away.

[C]

Or we hype them up to buy it and then buy it. Then we're like, man, what an idiot.

[D]

So nervous bringing that Miata home because I went alone, and we'd have a bad track record of coming home with vehicles that turn out to be shit. And I was like, that's not going to be me.

[C]

Well, to be fair, Ken has a bad track record.

[A]

You.

[D]

You're right. You're right.

[A]

You have.

[D]

Personally, I. I didn't want to add to the record and be lumped in with Ken's bad Facebook Marketplace pickups.

[C]

I'll fill the audience in here. This is usually how it goes. If we find something on Facebook Marketplace, go, hey, can somebody go to two hours away and pick this thing up? Right? Kind of go, yep, I can do it.

[D]

I'm already taking my Tesla to the cities because it's broken again.

[C]

I'll pick it up while I'm down there. We're like, all right, great. Here's all the information on it. I pretty much know nothing about it. So you have to take it upon yourself to make sure that this is a good purchase.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

But at the end of the day, you. You make the call. You're there. You make.

[D]

See it? Yeah. All we see is pictures.

[C]

So pretty much every single time Ken's ever done that, I'd say. I would say conservatively, five times, maybe, maybe 10. He comes back and the thing doesn't run. And then we ask him, well, did you drive it?

[A]

No.

[C]

Did you start it?

[A]

No.

[C]

Well, did you ask any questions? No.

[D]

Ken, what type of gas does it take? I don't know.

[C]

So that's pretty much our experience.

[D]

But to be fair, we've sent them on a lot of shifter cart pickups, and those can be the most finicky rigs.

[C]

Well, his excuse there is he doesn't fit enough.

[A]

That's valid, but no. This Miata, unbelievable car, good rig, $4,000. It's a 1990. It's got over 29, 89. Oh, it's an 89.

[D]

That explains.

[A]

And it's got over 250,000 miles on the clock. I think it does have a new engine in it.

[D]

It does. With a mismatched top end.

[A]

It rips.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It's just a great car. And I never quite understood why people like Miatas But I could confidently say I would buy, I'd buy one for myself. A little get around the convertible is what makes it fun too. It's just a ripper, man.

[D]

You're enjoying the Shriners.

[C]

Yeah, I was just going to say the same thing. C.J. and his other Miata drivers with their little top.

[A]

Well, when I was driving into DL the other day, I end up passing two other red Miatas, both on separate, separate instances. And I go, I get like pumped. I'm like Miata, yo. And they're just like, like confused, you know. And then the third person was. Or the second person.

[D]

What's the demographic of a typical. They were like Miata driver.

[A]

I think one was like a 55 maybe. I'd probably say 65 plus year old man. It was a new Miata. Kind of, kind of lame. Can't beat the classics. But the other one was a woman who was probably around the same age, 65 years old.

[C]

It seems like when you see most Miatas these days, maybe it's just now that we're, we are Miata owners. But like everywhere I go, I really.

[A]

Red Miata makes sense. They're great cars. But I don't know about the new ones.

[D]

Yeah, just the automatics.

[C]

I think it's something fun about it being like a stick shift. And obviously the top down, they added.

[A]

Too much technology to those new ones.

[D]

You know, like, like a working radio.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

AC that turn on the headlights don't.

[A]

Flip up and down, you know, that's.

[C]

The windows that you don't have to roll.

[A]

Yeah. And I just don't like that their top works. Like it's not ripped kind of.

[C]

Like now that you own a Miata, everywhere you go you notice Miatas, right? Y same thing with. I went to try and find a bed the other day so I went furniture shopping, bro. I had no idea how many furniture stores there were until you start looking for a furniture store. They are on every single block, if not to a block.

[D]

Really?

[C]

Oh, that's a little aggressive. But it's crazy.

[A]

There's a lot of them.

[C]

There's a lot of them.

[A]

And you go in and it's quiet in there.

[D]

Yeah, it's such an odd dead. I mean, I don't know if like they were in there playing Limp Bizkit and stuff, but like a little bit of ambiance would be nice.

[C]

It's just like every single one is going in there, going out of business always. That's just their marketing.

[D]

Always going out of business. And then they come Back because that going out of business sale saves them.

[C]

Well, we didn't say when we were going out of business, but at some point we are going to.

[D]

Did you cash in on the free cookies though?

[C]

I did not. But the bed that I bought, dude, I just have trust issues when it comes to these certain like retailer spots because they could slap any price on them, of course. And, and the bed that I bought was like marketed at seventeen hundred dollars, but originally it was three grand.

[D]

Oh, wow.

[A]

And I was like half off.

[C]

This seems like ridiculous. They had to have just slapped that price on there and been like, but today it is half off interest. We should do that with like our.

[A]

Merchant thousand dollars T shirt. But we're going to sell it to you for $27.

[D]

No, dude, that's what people do when they do multiple entries. You know, like they'll do on drop day. They're like 10 times entries today only.

[A]

I think that's so dumb.

[D]

It's just a gimmick because everybody else just offsets your chances of winning.

[A]

It pissed me off if I was a person that bought something like when you. The original thing and then it's like the last day and they're like, we're giving you 10 times entries. I'm like, what the, dude? I already bought my thing. And then I've seen like 75 times entries. Yeah, well, people do that, but I don't think it's. It seems like most of the people that are doing that aren't doing a very good job of like.

[C]

I think we've actually done a pretty good job of. Of setting ourselves up by not doing like the 45, 000 times entries on this certain day. Because people then just wait for it.

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[C]

And then.

[A]

And you did it last time. They're like, well, I'm not going to buy now because it 10 times entries. And they're gonna wait till the next time. So you're really not benefiting yourself. It still ends up evening out. Especially when most people have reoccurring customers.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So that's why I just like staying consistent. You know what you're gonna get. We're not gonna pull some rug out.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

We're not gonna pull something and make you have to buy again or whatever. Like, I don't know. It's just. Yeah, I agree though. I've never liked that. But yeah, furniture stores, man, it's it. I kind of like it in there. I do too. It's relaxing.

[C]

There's something nice too about being able to like see what you're buying and absolutely sit on it.

[A]

Like, that's important.

[C]

Everything now is all online, dude. And I was like, this is kind of refreshing, actually laying on the bed too, because I asked. I was like, hey, Ken, where. Where do I buy a bed? And he was like, well, I bought mine online. And I was like, you didn't want to lay on it first, but you said you. You researched reviews for three weeks.

[D]

Oh, shit. So you were solely going off what someone else said? Yeah.

[C]

And how is it?

[E]

I love it.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[D]

Ken's bed is comfy. I laid on it once. I took a nap after a long day on CJ's boat. Too much sun. It is.

[A]

It is crazy, though. Like, you got a lot of options and a lot of them are. You ever notice that, like, you're looking at a couch and it's like, this is an expensive ass couch, but you can just sit on you. You can tell it's, like, just not as good as the one right next. That only cost maybe 200 more or even the same price. It's like some of it they're passing off is garbage nowadays. I feel like an old man saying this because my parents always say it, but, like, it's true.

[C]

Furniture in general is just overpriced.

[A]

Yeah, for sure. Like, so overpriced.

[C]

I couldn't believe some of the prices on these things.

[A]

I was like, for what, a fucking stool?

[D]

Literally.

[A]

A little coffee table is, like a hundred bucks sometimes probably more, but, like, I got the cheap ones and I. I thought it was overpriced, but then.

[C]

It'S like, they can do that because then they're just capitalizing on people that want to be in person or.

[A]

I don't know. I think it's just as much online, and you end up getting it. And typically the online stuff is what's. What's not good. You end up having to send it back.

[C]

I watched this Family Guy episode where they went and looked for new beds, and he, like, brought his whole, like, night get up and was eating berries in bed.

[A]

Can he pause for a second? Did you, like, deliberately watch this episode? Because you're like, I'm going bed shopping tomorrow. I gotta watch you're, like, family episodes. And it's like, Peter goes bed shopping. Oh, this one's perfect for me right now.

[C]

Get me in the mood. Fired me up.

[A]

This applies to me.

[C]

Yeah, no, it was weirdly convenient. And he, like, eats the berries in bed and, like, gets done making a mess and then, like, stands up and goes, well, Lois, I Think we know which bed we want. And then she goes, all right, I'll order it right now. And then orders it on Amazon or wherever.

[A]

Oh, yeah, I suppose you could just go online. Yeah.

[D]

But that's why they say they'll match any online price in store.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

At least get your business.

[A]

You gotta. When you go in there, you kind of got a wheel and deal them.

[C]

Like, you got to be like.

[A]

Like, don't even give them the sticker. Just be like, what can you do for me here, man?

[C]

Can you negotiate?

[A]

Yeah. Really? You can negotiate? I negotiated couch, table, bed sets. I've. Every single piece. I. I get it below sticker. Really? Yeah.

[D]

No, yeah.

[A]

You just say, what can you do for me? And they come down.

[C]

Really?

[A]

Yeah. You say, I don't know. You know, I'm looking at another place. It's a little bit cheaper. I mean, this. This is nice though, too. And they're like, well. And you know what. What can you do? Like, is, are you guys firm on this or how, you know, what can.

[D]

You do for me? And just, boom.

[A]

No, I'm not amazing. I mean, I'm not saying you're getting a ton of money off, but they'll knock it down a fair amount. I'm not kidding you.

[C]

Pretty much anything is negotiable.

[A]

I mean, you go to the grocery store, you can't really.

[C]

Well, yeah, not that kind of farmer's market.

[B]

You could.

[A]

But basically, if there's a salesman, you can negotiate. That's the way you gotta look at it, man. I have a.

[C]

A good buddy that's.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I mean, he's a manager now, but he was a dirty car salesman. Just a greasy bastard. Right.

[A]

And.

[C]

Yeah, and the greasiest. You know, he's always doing you a favor. He's never kicking you in the nuts, but. But he's always telling you about another story of somebody he did kick in the. Right.

[D]

About me. He got such a good kick in the nuts on me a couple deals ago that he actually helped me out on this last one.

[C]

No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. But, you know, some people just have that, like, they just have that wheeling and dealing. You know who's really good at that is Ben Mala, the YouTuber. But he's like a real estate guy, and he's just, like, turned YouTuber. Insanely entertaining. If you guys haven't checked him out, check him out on YouTube. But he pretty much just, like, said, like, anything is negotiable. And he. Any offer he makes is like, 75 of what they're asking, and then he just goes up from there.

[D]

Really?

[C]

Yeah. But you wouldn't believe how many people will just be like, they're having a bad day, that they need the money or. Or, you know, their price is already ridiculous. And then you just come in, kick them in the nuts a little bit, and then they'll come down.

[D]

It is kind of funny. I have had a few interactions with a bad negotiator, actually, on my Volkswagen. Bless them, they're still happy with it. He just sent me pictures of them enjoying it. But anyway, he was like, I have.

[B]

Never sold anything to anyone and gotten pictures of them enjoying it.

[D]

Well, that's.

[A]

That's because yours is junk. It blew up as soon as they started it. They bought a dirt bike from you. They turned, and it just bl up.

[B]

I do immediately block them after I sell something, but he.

[D]

He came in, and he was like, burner phone. How about 2900 bucks? And I went, no. And he went, okay. I was like, no, I'd like to say around 3,500. He goes, okay, give me 3,500 bucks. I was like, well, geez, I probably would have came down, like 3,300 at least, you know?

[A]

Well, they were sold on, and.

[D]

Yeah, they weren't.

[A]

Who knows? Maybe you were already selling pretty cheap.

[D]

Yeah, I was. Dude. As a collectible, they got a good deal.

[C]

I don't know if Collectible.

[B]

Because it's old.

[D]

Just because it's old doesn't mean it's a collectible.

[A]

Just a old.

[C]

They actually sent you a picture?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Top down or what?

[D]

No, it's just parked top down. They brought. They drove it over to Red River.

[A]

Did they get that belt fixed on it?

[D]

Yeah, they did, but.

[C]

Hold on. They sent you a picture of it sitting in. In.

[D]

At Scott's.

[C]

At Scott's.

[D]

Yeah, they did it over. They dropped off. I forgot a garage door opener and a contact case. So then they sent. They were like, brought it over to Red River. We'll make sure to service it here. Because I put in a good word for Scott.

[C]

You know, one time. This is kind of random, but one time, one of our friends bought this truck, and the old owner kept the keys, and the truck got stolen out of his driveway.

[D]

No way.

[A]

Twice? Yeah, no, twice.

[B]

What?

[D]

We still have the keys to our old Chevy. Oh, our Duramax.

[A]

We should steal it?

[C]

No.

[A]

That was, like, the guy's plan. Like, he does that, I guess, all the time.

[D]

What?

[A]

So I was actually pretty good friends with. I Still am. But I remember him telling me the story at the time, I was in high school and he had his Duramax sitting there in the driveway and he just heard it start up like at like three in the morning. He goes and looks out the window and the guy's backing it out of the driveway. He took, just left with it.

[D]

So what was his plan? Like did he took it back And.

[A]

I think he like, I don't remember if he like tried spray painting it or something and changing the wheels, but then he just like thought he was just gonna like have it and he just parked it back at his house where he bought it from or whatever. And. Yeah. So basically, long story short, you definitely don't want. If you buy something off Facebook marketplace, you def. Like for instance, a car especially, you definitely don't want them to know where you live. Because that might have been. Because then he just. Yeah, but he sold twice, stole it two times and then the cops, I think he went back to jail an idiot. Yeah, talk about being a dumbass.

[C]

Yeah, that's pretty stupid.

[D]

One time my parents were gone so I'd snuck out. I believe Micah and I were hanging out and it like ended up ice storming. You know when it rains in the winter it gets really icy and I was driving home at like 3:30am and it was so icy I couldn't make it up the turn to my like turn left, you know, you kind of have to go up a little bank. So I was sitting on the side of the road like kind of trying to figure out what to do, how to get up to my corner or make my turn. TC in my tc.

[C]

That thing could barely drive on dry roads.

[D]

Exactly.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And so I'm sitting there and I see these headlights coming up behind me and I go, okay, I'm not going to do anything right now. I'm going to wait it out. So you know, he goes by me and that's everything's good, buddy comes by me, obviously, same thing happens. Tail end of this Duramax slides down inside, swipes me right on the side of the road and then the guy just floors it and takes off.

[A]

He's probably all hambon leaving the roadhouse. Yeah.

[D]

Like 3:30. So he, he was. We figured out in the morning, 3:30 in the morning, I was just a dump.

[A]

I remember. Sent pictures. Yeah, yeah.

[D]

And I'm like, oh my God, I just got hit. Couldn't chase him down cuz my car wouldn't hardly move, you know.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

So anyway, we're just like oh, man, what are we gonna do? You know, I call my parents, they're pissed cuz I snuck out, like this whole ordeal and I kind of remembered. I was like, all right, it was a white truck with like a black toolbox in the back. You know, there's like 17 people that live around here. So I go drive by the roadhouse. The next morning, There he is, 11am, sitting at the roadhouse, Big scratched on the side of his truck.

[A]

Was he working or drinking?

[D]

Drinking.

[C]

Wow.

[E]

Hold on.

[C]

May. Maybe he brought his truck back there in case the little rat that he hit the night before was gonna come and claim that he was on the road and he was gonna say, no, my truck never left the parking lot.

[D]

Well, maybe he could have been smarter and like talk his way out of it. But anyway, we brought it up and he was like, drunk and so the guy admitted he was like, yeah, I don't remember driving home last night.

[C]

I hit you?

[A]

Oh, no.

[D]

Worst part is it was his buddy's truck. His buddy was working in the oil fields and he went, I'm gonna look cool for this chick that he was taking out. So he borrowed his buddy's truck without asking, banged it all up, had to pay for my new door.

[A]

Oh, so what, made it cash or.

[D]

Yeah, we. He ended up being like, you know, this is bad, bad situation. So we worked it out.

[C]

Does he still live around here?

[D]

I guess. I don't know what he drives now.

[C]

But you.

[A]

Who is it? I'd like to maybe tell me off camera, you don't know.

[D]

I literally don't know his name. I was pretty young.

[C]

Wasn't the guy that came to our shop and did the burnout.

[D]

Dr. Phil.

[A]

Yeah. Could have been his friend, though.

[D]

Could have been.

[C]

Because it was like a similar truck to that, wasn't it? But yeah, man, I bet you were rattled.

[D]

So I can say I've gotten hit by a drunk driver. I was super rattled, dude.

[C]

Getting sideswiped. And then they like dip take off.

[D]

Because I was sitting. Like I saw the headlights and then I kind of just like went down on my phone and wasn't paying attention. Then all of a sudden, crash noises. So Ben, when you said, like, once you start really looking for something, you know, CJ's notice more Miatas. You notice more furniture stores? Yeah, I noticed more trucks with red wheels. I've seen like three or four trucks with red wheels on them and they all look.

[A]

Yours looks the best by far, let me tell you that.

[D]

Yeah, I think. I think yours maybe does look the best. Out of all of the ugly trucks with red wheels I've seen.

[A]

Thank you, guys.

[C]

It's actually the nicest thing you've said about it.

[A]

I've seen a couple. I don't know if they deliberately tried to make it like our SEMA truck, but it was, like, smaller wheels.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

And it just.

[D]

We did kind of forget when we made fun of Ben's truck. I completely forgot that I was also a partial owner of a vehicle with red wheel.

[C]

Still are.

[D]

Still. Still am. I still are.

[A]

But I don't know. I feel like the. The red on the SEMA truck looks great. And also, Ben, you know, your wheels have came around. I think they're nice.

[B]

Let's not forget about the bourbon, which also has.

[A]

Well, the bourbon is. It looks fantastic. From the start, I didn't have to warm up to it. It just looked good.

[D]

But I was shopping for wheels for my truck the other day, and I actually was nervous picking them out. I was like, oh, my God, if I get ugly wheels, my friends will make fun of for sure. And I was like, this should be a fun experience. But I had just. I was in the back of my head. I'm like, I can't get these.

[A]

They.

[D]

The spokes, you know, are curved. They'll make fun of me for that.

[A]

Why don't you just get what you want, Ryan?

[D]

Well, that's a good point.

[B]

Probably no winning, no matter how cool they are.

[D]

You're right.

[B]

We're gonna pick them apart.

[D]

Yeah. But it's actually surprising. There's more ugly wheels than there is good ones. That's for sure.

[C]

Most people that buy aftermarket wheels, they just don't have. Most don't have good taste.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

It's surprising.

[A]

It is.

[C]

It is.

[D]

I feel like when it comes to putting wheels on your car, it's. It's kind of like. Like getting plastic surgery, like a boob job. It shouldn't look fake. It look. It shouldn't look out of place. You know, like, when you put wheels, it should look like they meant. Like the car should have came that way.

[A]

That's one way to look at it. But if you have an extreme enough build and extra extreme enough build, you can. You can pull off something crazy like white wheels or whatever, you know, and it looks. Yeah. Or triple D's. Whatever. Whatever you, you know, want to compare it to. But, yeah, no, it is. It is tough. That. That's a serious process. I remember when I got my wheels for my gtr, I didn't put a whole lot of thought In I, I just knew I wanted this type of brand and I asked, you know, I messaged him and was just like, I want the perfect fitment or whatever. And it was like the cheapest version of what they sold because they sold pretty like high up wheels and they, they made them to the spec that I needed. But I remember I was like, I'm gonna do. Instead of being basic and getting black, I'm gonna get. I think it was like, that's right. Like I don't even know what it was.

[D]

Machine Silver.

[A]

Yes, silver or something like that. And I go and I'm like pretty excited. And I put them on and everyone's kind of like, no one even said they look bad. No one said they look good.

[D]

That's like, this is.

[A]

That was bad. I was like, God damn. I just, I should have done a little more research or put a little more thought into this. And then I got them powder coat.

[D]

Now it looked good, but they do look good now.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Like Ken's Tesla wheels are fire. Perfect.

[A]

It's. It's very hard to, to nail it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It takes a little bit of time and, and studying and just research. Like that's the nice thing about Fitment Industries and like custom offsets is you can kind of see their showroom. They don't always have everything, but if you just google it and then I'll just scour, you know, for.

[D]

You can normally get a good idea of at least what you want.

[A]

I used to do it for weeks, but now I don't buy wheels because.

[D]

I don't need to buy anything.

[A]

I don't sell anything either. So I don't sell anything or buy.

[C]

Anything or mod anything.

[A]

Yeah. Now I keep my truck stock.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm. I'm more mature than you, Ben. I don't need to roll around in my lifted up truck with red wheels letting everyone know, hey, I'm here. I'm fine with just rolling in quiet, no exhaust and you know, parking and just, you know. Yeah.

[B]

Sometimes you want it to blend in better when it's stoved off in the rhubarb.

[C]

That too.

[A]

I too, but you know, I'm fine with that. You know, just walk in, let my personality do the talking.

[C]

Yeah, you're so humble.

[A]

Well, you know, you can try to strive for that. I know as you get older, you're still a young, young guy.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I do feel like I'm picking a thing up or two. Just, just a thing up or two from you.

[A]

Try to pick up more, you'd be a Lot better.

[D]

So Canada got some pretty exciting news. There is a new self driving service. And don't worry. Yes, it is an electric video. Excuse me? An electric vehicle. It's called Sex La. And it is a self driving car.

[C]

Sex.

[A]

Hold on. What?

[D]

Yes, it is a. A self driving sex positive Robo taxi.

[C]

Oh, Ken's. Ken's favorite thing.

[D]

That's a lot of words.

[E]

Service.

[D]

More accurately, a way for people to service themselves while using an automonous autonomous pod service.

[A]

Do we not have a camera again?

[E]

Shoot.

[A]

Oh my gosh.

[B]

You have to service yourself in the sex car.

[D]

It does say to enjoy a revolutionary masturbate. Masturbatory experience. God, I can't read today. Sorry.

[C]

So hold on. You can just jerk off while it drives you.

[B]

Can you bring a friend?

[A]

That seems a little weird. You're driving around town jerking off. Seems I'm into some weird, but that's just weird.

[C]

There's gotta be some law about not.

[A]

Being able to do that.

[D]

About jerking off as you're driving around. It's got tinted windows.

[C]

Comes with tinted windows.

[A]

They get pulled over for a window tin. You got your dick in your hand. Your pants are in the back.

[D]

You're like, are you getting an accident?

[A]

Geez Louise.

[D]

Pants are on your ankles.

[C]

Is this all lotioned up? Is this real?

[D]

Yeah, it's a Motor Trend article.

[C]

Oh, okay. So it's looking.

[B]

That's a car.

[D]

No, that's not the actual car. It's. It's down here.

[C]

Got a long car right ahead of you.

[E]

You know, I don't want to throw anyone's idea, like say anyone's idea is a bad idea, but that's just a bad dumb idea.

[A]

Really not into that.

[E]

No, that. That's just a dumb idea.

[D]

Which part?

[E]

The whole start to finish.

[B]

I mean, I think a sex car is a great idea, but a masturbation car?

[E]

Sexcar, fine. A masturbation car. That's just dumb.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

I've definitely heard worse ideas.

[D]

You ever jerk Ken while you're. While Elon's driving you home? No, but you totally probably.

[A]

Yeah. The best time to do it. You're in safe hands.

[D]

Yeah, you're in safe hands. You've got the big screen right here.

[A]

Two different safe hands.

[B]

How are the roads tonight?

[A]

That makes me think, you know, we got AI coming. It's only a matter of time until we have like these basically almost human versions of robots. You ever seen the movie Irobot or even Ex Machina? How long until that's a thing? And I mean, some people might get into an intimate relationship with a robot. Like imagine that. I wouldn't be surprised.

[B]

Especially the Vapors.

[A]

All you can hope is is an intimate, you know, two way relation. He's gonna be losing.

[C]

As soon as.

[A]

Bro.

[C]

He doesn't want anything to do with this.

[A]

The robot. And X Machina is pretty good looking, I'm not gonna lie.

[B]

Can't say that.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah you can.

[A]

You look at it. Pop it up on the screen. That's a great movie.

[B]

I guess some of those robots in Austin Powers were kind of hot too. The machine gun.

[A]

Oh, yeah, of course. Right.

[E]

I gotta stop. Ex machina.

[A]

Ex machina.

[D]

Whatever.

[A]

Okay, sorry. That's a great movie. And yeah, it's really interesting.

[C]

Yeah, I could totally see it.

[A]

I think that will happen, honestly.

[C]

Are all robots gonna have vapes though?

[A]

You know, I guess I was not thinking of like the slave driving robots. I was thinking of just like nice ones that, you know, you'd maybe want to be around.

[D]

I can't wait for that to be a South park bit. You know, eventually they'll pick up sex robot slaves on vapes. Know that it started here first.

[A]

Yeah. Or Simpsons. Simpsons has done everything. It's like you. You name an idea, Simpsons already did it.

[D]

Yeah. Because they've been on TV for like, I don't know why, like 30 years.

[A]

Probably more than that. I think it was like 87. Jesus. They started someone. Let me just double check. Dude, that's.

[C]

That's kind of all jammed up back.

[A]

There to be putting a show out for that long. But I mean, you know, so Simpson's start date was December 17, 1989.

[D]

So as long as our Miata has been alive.

[A]

But it.

[D]

Simpsons have been going.

[A]

But the Simpsons began in 1987 as a cartoon short. And they decided to make it into a show in 1989. So that's a long time to be. And I mean, they're constantly coming up with stuff, which makes sense why they've done it all, but.

[C]

Yeah, but some of the things that they've predicted are just like.

[A]

It is weird.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Pull some up. Pull up like the craziest Simpson predictions.

[A]

Yeah, Simpsons predictions. There's tons of them.

[B]

I can just see Ken, the neighbors looking at them. Why is Ken taking his fifth loop around the block?

[D]

You know, like when you take another laugh because the song that you really like, you're jamming to. And you want a little more time in the car. Kids gotta do it for jerk.

[B]

Yeah. People start locking their doors. Like someone spinning the block. Oh, man, there's checking. Gonna rob us tonight. What's going on? Just having a wank in the back.

[A]

The Tesla driving sound. Put dub this over. Just rolling by.

[C]

It's got a little fireplace going on.

[D]

Oh, who hawked a loogie on the end of my driveway?

[A]

Had the window open.

[E]

They predicted Disney would buy Fox. Richard Branson would start a space company, Trump would be president. There's a lot NSA spying on the public.

[D]

I guess I could see that one coming.

[E]

Rise of video chat. That's got to be an old one. Pandemic takes over the world.

[D]

Also kind of could see it coming.

[E]

World cup scandal. How many.

[D]

How many times do you think it's like life imitates art, you know, Like Richard Branson sitting there eating Cheerios, watching the Simpsons and goes, oh, look, I started a space company on the Simpsons. I might fuck around and do that.

[E]

I feel like some of this, you know, they just put out so much content that, like, for every they predicted 99 misses, there's got to be one that just hits.

[B]

That's what I was thinking, what Ken just said. You do enough things like you're gonna hit it a few times.

[A]

Yeah, I agree. Yes. Yeah. But. But also, some of these are just more than coincidence. I feel like there's got to be better examples. But anyways, you guys know how I.

[C]

Was kind of telling you guys about the tenant that I had that I was, like, constantly getting calls about the first one being, like, smoking in the unit and the other tenants were saying that it was smelling like pot? The second one.

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

Evan, were you. I wasn't over there and hanging out.

[C]

I have a couple. I have a couple tenants. No. And then. And then, like, parking in the wrong spot. Basically just get, like, getting calls from.

[A]

Like, all these stones. Parking the wrong spot. Geez.

[C]

Well, I got a text from them the other day.

[D]

From the tenant or from someone else in the building?

[C]

From the tenant. Oh, that was like, hey, I came home from work and one of the other tenants was having my car towed out of the parking lot. I'm so sick of this. I'm moving out. Which I was like, okay, sounds good. Because great. I was getting all these calls.

[A]

Like, I was like, yeah, they were.

[C]

A problem as of last week. I was like, I probably gotta evict them. And then they text me that.

[B]

Is that legal to just tow someone's car?

[C]

Must have been parked in the wrong spot.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Still think you'd have to have, like, be, like, the property owner, not just the neighbor. Being.

[A]

Yeah, I have no idea.

[C]

I have no idea. And they were like, I'm so sick of this. Which I don't entirely blame. Yeah, you get in your car towed, but you. Granted, I guess you park in the wrong spot anywhere. Yeah, you're gonna get your car towed, but that's pretty lucky. The wrong spot, you're getting it towed.

[D]

Well, if you didn't like her, I was gonna say you could have Ken caller and, you know, try to calm her down. I know, I know it sucks when your car gets towed, but it's okay. Go over there with a company credit card and pay for it.

[C]

I've been there.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, that's probably best case scenario though, like if you evict someone. I've heard stories of them, like, up the place because they're mad. You know, they still have a certain amount of time to move out and they just, you know, throw. Put holes in the wall or whatever and then leave. And then you never get. Maybe they don't even pay your last. The last month or whatever of rent. And then you got all these. They tear it up, you know, so that's good because it was mutual. Oh, I'm sorry. Well.

[C]

Well, yeah. I mean, and having to evict someone, you have to take them to court and go through that whole process. Yeah, it's a total pain in the ass. So, yeah, it was pretty lucky on that.

[D]

And it was technically on the hook for rent too, right?

[A]

Yeah, but probably ain't gonna see it maybe.

[D]

Technically.

[C]

I mean. Yeah.

[D]

Obligated.

[C]

Better. But yeah, I was pretty. I was like, no shit. I was so surprised.

[D]

Love it when a plan comes together.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I was like, damn, dude, that's a.

[A]

Good way to get out of it. You just have someone else go over there and start messing with their shit. And they're like, I need to get out of here. Secretly make them want to leave. And you're like, oh, what? I can't believe that's going on. That's bogus. I'd get out of there too.

[C]

You have their car towed, you're paying to have it towed.

[A]

I was gonna say, I don't think you have to pay for it. In my experience. I have a buddy that once had another one of my friends cars towed. And the person who called the tow truck company didn't have to pay a dollar, just the person who got their. Their vehicle.

[D]

Oh, really?

[A]

Really.

[C]

And then they paid for it out of pocket, I take it.

[A]

Well, not in that instance, but. But I think, you know, most people would have to just pay out of their own pocket.

[E]

I know a guy who's gotten his car towed and it's the person who gets their car towed that gets to pay for it.

[A]

Yeah, that's really been confirmed.

[D]

Oh, damn. That's like a double. Just a double kick in the nuts. Not only is your car gone, but then you got to pay for it too. It makes sense when the city tows your car, but when your neighbor Toes or your friend tows your car, you.

[A]

Want to know what the triple kick in the nuts is?

[D]

What's that?

[A]

When it's an all wheel drive car and they just tow it from the two front wheels and fuck up your whole, the transmission drivetrain.

[E]

I think you can go after the tow company for that.

[A]

I have no idea.

[B]

I thought most towing companies literally are like, we are not liable. Like if they rip your bumper off, towing it up, that's on you. Your car was too low. In my experience anyway.

[D]

I don't know.

[C]

From my understanding too, I believe that is the case.

[A]

Yeah. I have a feeling it'd be kind of hard to get them to.

[D]

You guys ever seen those, like, intense repo videos? Not the show on TV when.

[A]

Yeah, that was a good show. Yeah, but when you were in. I was in middle school, I thought it was real and I was like, this is insane. It was so funny.

[D]

Every single time there's a fight or some just crazy extending woman with a fire extent.

[A]

I remember this one video. They put Vaseline all over the guy's handles after they like took the car. I don't know, they had like some kind of beef with them. It's so funny.

[D]

Oh my gosh.

[C]

What about, what about Dog the Bounty Hunter?

[A]

That was real.

[C]

That was a great show.

[A]

Was that how real that was?

[D]

Was it really?

[A]

I mean, so it does seem real.

[D]

You think?

[B]

But you know, those were real criminals. Oh, I, I, that they were trying to hide.

[D]

You know, obviously I'd agree with that.

[B]

There were certain parts of reality TV in it, but no, I think it was real criminals that they were actually.

[A]

That was a great show. Is Dog the Bounty Hunter still alive?

[B]

Yeah, but I think his, his wife passed away.

[C]

Yeah. Oh, really?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

What are you, what are you laughing about? Evan?

[D]

Just.

[A]

Fuck.

[B]

Those are some big boots.

[C]

I was waiting for it and someone.

[B]

Had to say it. My God.

[A]

That's why I was looking at him. I was waiting for him to say it. I was like, he's gonna say it.

[D]

Give him enough time.

[B]

Rest in peace.

[A]

Yeah, Rest in peace. To Beth.

[D]

I used to Think it was real, but it's like Patty Mayo or something like that on. On YouTube where he does. Where he goes in and, you know, basically is a bounty hunter. But those are fake.

[A]

Those are so fake.

[B]

Like, after, like, I watch family, three of them, they get into big fights.

[D]

And yeah, he wasn't that good of an actor when I first started watching him, but I still see, like, his videos come up through the Discover feed, and it's like 10 million views. So it's working for him.

[C]

It's amazing how in the moment you don't realize how. Or back in the day, you don't realize like, how scripted and fake that shit used to be. And then you watch it nowadays and you're like, how. How did anyone even believe any of this?

[D]

I think reality TV people in the early 2000s or mid 2000s had it so easy because nobody knew they ever questioned it. Yeah.

[A]

You wouldn't even question it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Now just so much out there.

[D]

Enough people did it bad that now you realize it and you're just like, okay, this isn't. Isn't real.

[A]

I think I was thinking about this on my way back out here today. It almost seems like produced. Like when a unscripted. Let's just. I'm putting my fingers up. Unscripted reality TV show is the way it's produced. When it's over produced, everyone just knows it's. It's not real. You know, you're like, oh, I was the camera there, you know, I think that's why you're seeing such a rise in just YouTube videos. Like, people like seeing the real, you know, and it's pretty at least, you know, I. That not to toot our own horn, but our stuff is. It feels real and it is real, for one. But, like, you know, it's like it's. It's got this raw. It's not so overproduced where you're like, feeling like, oh, they set this up, whatever, you know.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I think people are. That's what they like nowadays. Yeah.

[C]

Like, people just took it too far. Like, reality TV just took it too far and. And people just, like, lost trust in it.

[A]

But people are getting smarter now too, and they've been exposed to, like, what. What real looks like. And then you go and watch the. What you thought was really, like, this is.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, stuff starts not lining up and whatever. And I don't know, it's still entertaining. Like, even when you watch, like, Fancy Factory, it's, like, so clear stuff. Like, I was watching it is A couple of months ago, I just watched every episode just because. I don't know, I just go at night. I'd watch, like one episode or two episodes. And I remember this one shot. So Rob, like, goes in and hits drama's door, glass door, with like, a. Like a bulldozer or something. And he comes running out. He's got this. This gold Rolex on. And I was like, keep an eye. Because I like watches. I was like, oh, no, he's got a gold Daytona on. And it cuts back to Rob. And Rob is stand on things like, we're going racing. Is this pit bike race episode. And it cuts back to drama. He doesn't have his watch on anymore.

[D]

So, you know, I was like, between the.

[C]

So.

[A]

So it almost felt like they were like, oh, we missed this talking scenario. So I need you to stand back over here up against this wall and just talk in this direction. But he didn't have his watch on that day or whatever. And it was. And then it cut back and he had his watch back on.

[E]

Oh.

[A]

So I was like, damn. I'm surprised. They, like. I suppose they were just like, whatever, we just got to run it.

[D]

But that is interesting. I love noticing little misses and I'm not talking.

[A]

No, I love that show. It was a great show. But it is interesting to, you know, look back on.

[C]

You know what's amazing is that Tom Cruise does all of his own stunts.

[D]

Ac of him jumping off the motorcycle and just eating it.

[B]

No, but it was the most race. What about graceful crash, though? Yeah, like, it was a hard crash, but he, like, held his composure. He was all rigid, and I thought it was amazing.

[C]

I didn't see that.

[A]

Was it him? That was on the side of the airplane, too? Yeah, that was him.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, my. Pull that up. I couldn't remember which actor it was, but I remember thinking, geez Louise. They were like an airplane. They must have had him, like, strapped in some way. But he was, like, supposedly holding on. But it was still crazy because they take off on this airplane. He's like, holy. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

That's so sick.

[A]

It was nuts, dude.

[C]

There's another one where he jumps off of this massive FMX ramp into, like, a canyon and then just parachutes away.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

But there's that. Yeah, no, we don't pull it up.

[A]

Here it is right here. Tom riding Bruce performed his most dangerous stunt yet. This guy should be on Jackass. Holy land.

[D]

Crap.

[B]

Real textbook.

[A]

This reminds me of ebay Motors. They got the tent in the back. Everyone's watching.

[D]

He does it? So methodical.

[A]

He's 60.

[D]

Not bad.

[A]

Holy smokes. He's 60 years old doing this. That is so cool.

[C]

Okay, did you pull up the airplane one? You know what else is crazy is that they allow him to do it.

[D]

No kidding.

[C]

You know, there is something to be said about, like, I do my own stunts, but are you gonna tell him?

[A]

Yeah. You're gonna tell Tom Cruise?

[C]

No. Well, yeah, you're not. But think, bro. They've got, what, a hundred million dollar budget on this movie and they've already spent 90 of it. And they're just getting the last shots and then he goes and does that and then he hurts himself or something happens and they have to just like, cancel the entire.

[D]

True. Even something as simple as, like, if he broke his arm, like, not even catastrophic, but he's got a broken arm. And they're like, great. Well, now we can't shoot for nine months.

[C]

Yeah, you're out there. Yeah.

[D]

Broken.

[C]

So I'm just like, very surprised that he, you know, is allowed to do it by the entire production team. But maybe that's like, the beauty of, like, using Tom Cruise then you. You get to, like, use the marketing of, like, he did all of his own stunts.

[A]

All right, watch this. This is from Mission Impossible. Tom Cruise. So they had some kind of strap.

[D]

Look. Oh, my gosh, dude.

[A]

So obviously strapped, but still. This is insane. It doesn't even matter if you're scrap. Look at that. That's him.

[D]

It looks like they just have a ratchet strap slammed in the door. That is so crazy, dude.

[A]

Because just think.

[C]

So he had to sit up there.

[A]

Holding on to that for quite a while.

[D]

You knew that. Took an hour to set up, too.

[C]

And then he had to probably.

[A]

I wonder if he was able to, like, let go and then.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Or if they had to hold on the whole time and then down.

[D]

I feel like you wouldn't want to let go because then you'd be like back there, you'd be like, flapping against the side of this plane. What are they gonna do?

[B]

I think they could have pulled him in that door, right?

[A]

Well, maybe, I guess. Yeah, maybe.

[D]

Maybe still.

[B]

Yeah. Can you imagine landing. Yeah, like landing, holding.

[A]

Dude. You know how fast that airplane's going? And it just go like, it almost would, like, you open that door. I don't know. That'd be quite the.

[B]

But you can open doors on like.

[A]

Yeah, but that look like a Boeing.

[B]

Well, obviously, because he's acting so he can't, like, wear a helmet, but like, all those stunts, like the one where he crashes the dirt bike like he's crashing on dirt or whatever. Just no helmet. Yeah, and, like, same with, you know, the BASE jump one we just watched. No helmet.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah, you're right. Something that even the most gnarly dudes would normally wear a helmet for. He's out there. No helmet.

[A]

Ev.

[C]

I could see you being a stuntman. You and Mike.

[B]

I'm awfully short to be a stunt double, though. Like, who could I fill in for?

[D]

Dude, Tom Cruise is, like, 5 or 6. Yeah.

[B]

But he does his own stunts. This one is amazing.

[A]

Wow. Is this an older movie?

[D]

I think it's just a recording.

[C]

What is he riding? No way, dude.

[A]

Ours nuts.

[D]

He's like, I'm good, yo.

[C]

Watch that, though. Like, the.

[D]

This is the oddest fall I've ever seen in my entire life.

[A]

Oh.

[D]

The tire, too. Like, that's not good. This is worst spot to be on a bike.

[B]

He's lucky as.

[C]

Oh, my God came out. Wow.

[A]

Dude.

[B]

Amazing that.

[C]

He had to have been younger then.

[A]

Yeah, he was. It looks like it.

[E]

That. That was posted on YouTube seven years ago, so.

[D]

Oh, he was only 53.

[B]

What movie did that say?

[D]

2013.

[E]

So Oblivion.

[D]

10 years ago. Oh, he was only 50.

[B]

We're coming up on that.

[D]

Maybe 49.

[A]

Isn't he part of, like, that sign Scientology?

[C]

Yeah, he is.

[A]

That might be part of his. Why he's able to take a fall like that and just be fine.

[D]

The blood of young children.

[A]

They're doing some weird over there. That's helping them.

[C]

Is that Scientology?

[D]

I don't know if that lizard people, all the whole gang.

[C]

Ken, what is Scientology? Like, what do they preach? Why do they get such a bad rep?

[E]

Because they're. I don't want to say anything because I don't want the Scientology people going after. Those people are batshit crazy.

[A]

They're actually worried about you.

[E]

Say, like, negative things about them, and then they, like, follow you and they do, like, intimidation tactics.

[A]

Something shows up at home. Tom Brady stand in the driveway like this.

[C]

Got a bat, throws a football through.

[A]

His window, kicks Ken's ass, and leaves.

[E]

Like, if you guys watch the series on people leaving Scientology.

[B]

Tom Brady or Tom Cruise?

[A]

Tom Brady. I'm pretty sure it's Scientology. I'm pretty sure Tom Brady. Will Smith is Tom Cruise. I, I, Maybe I'm wrong with Tom.

[C]

Did you say Will? Will Smith is.

[A]

Yeah, Will Smith is in Scientology, too.

[C]

Really?

[A]

At least at one time. I don't want to.

[D]

We better lock in that Aaron Rod. No grouping everybody in the top.

[A]

Tom Brady.

[D]

Tom Brady kisses is his kids, though. And that's always rubbed me the wrong way.

[A]

Why?

[C]

Cuz you wish.

[B]

Like on the lips? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe like the forehead or the cheek side. Yeah, not on the lips.

[C]

Like a little hug.

[A]

That's.

[D]

That's fine. But like, come here, son. Laying a fat one on him. That ain't it. No, there's like, he took a really weird, like, picture. What are you. What are you thinking about right now? I don't even want to say it. They took a. He took like a Instagram story, and it was like his son was sitting on his lap, but they were like, straddling. Like how like you and Nikki would straddle at the beach. Like, you're sitting behind her and she's sitting in front, like laying down in between your legs.

[B]

Did he have a boner? Like I would.

[D]

I don't know. I didn't. Didn't ask him.

[A]

That was a little weird.

[B]

No, but it is kind of weird.

[D]

What are we finding out on the Scientologists?

[E]

Tom Brady. Not confirmed, not denied. So I don't know.

[A]

There is some rumors, though. Okay. One.

[E]

One says Catholic, one says Scientology, so.

[C]

Oh, really?

[A]

But Will Smith, I know he is. And Tom Cruise, then. Yeah, for sure.

[B]

So you can't be religious and be in Scientology? Yep, those things clash.

[E]

I don't know. Yeah, they are members of the Church of Scientology.

[A]

Ben and my grandma. And not our grandparon, but who our grandma was. Our other grandpa who hasn't been on YouTube. They used to be. They used to be Scientologists. They were part of the church. And they would, like, go down to California when Ben and my parents were kids, and I don't know, like, they'd, like, do stuff down there. But I guess eventually they just said, this is too much for us. Like, it wasn't as weird, at least back in the day.

[B]

What kind of stuff?

[A]

I don't know. They don't.

[C]

I. I asked this, and there's never.

[A]

There's very vague answers, but. Oh, you know, we just do stuff.

[B]

So they were uncomfortable. I don't know what done. They don't want to tell.

[A]

I don't know, dude. But all I know is it apparently got too weird for them and they called it. They're like, we're doing this anymore?

[C]

Me and CJ's parents were down there with them. Like, yeah, it was in California. It's like, you know, hey, we're going to California. We can go on a vacation. But then they're also, like, going to that church. They couldn't go in. Like, our parents couldn't go into the church. They would have to sit on, like, the church steps while our grandparents would go inside.

[A]

That's kind of.

[C]

We're not, like, committed to the church. You can't go inside the church.

[D]

They offer you guys any, like, Kool Aid or anything like that?

[A]

Well, not us. We weren't there. But. Yeah, I have no idea. Apparently. I wouldn't. I wouldn't doubt if there is maybe some going on, because they clearly were like, this is. I guess they. That's all I. They just said it got to be a little weird, so we called it. But it wasn't weird. Apparently when they were. They say it wasn't, you know, like.

[D]

It wasn't weird when they were first joining.

[B]

Well, what is it?

[C]

Or what do they. What do they do?

[A]

Or what?

[C]

Like, what do they preach?

[D]

Science.

[E]

They're very secretive, but it's kind of like one of the things was there's an old man who, like, basically owned this ship, and he, like, brought all the. This was like, in the 60s.

[B]

He, like, says, Noah's Ark.

[E]

L. Ron Hubbard, like, brought all these, like, younger people on the ship. And it's just weird. There's. There's Netflix series on it.

[D]

Like, Epstein.

[A]

Oh, really? Maybe I'll go watch that tonight.

[C]

You guys see that? Somebody was buying Epstein island for, like, 60 million.

[D]

Really?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Does it come with the children?

[A]

Unbelievable. Le.

[D]

Hopefully not. But actually, who's buying that? Like, who. Somebody who has $60 million. Why aren't they, like, I'll go buy another island. That wasn't insert words about Epstein's island here.

[C]

Supposedly turning it into a resort island, so. Oh, that's where it gets even more. Who's gonna want to go.

[D]

They are, for sure. Flying out future presidents where the next.

[B]

Fire Festival is going to be.

[C]

They're prepping.

[B]

I did hear that they were going to.

[A]

That'd be the same guys doing it. Don't tell me. Yeah. Billy is doing it again, guys.

[B]

Such a doorknob, Billy.

[A]

What is he. He thinks he's gonna do it again.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And pay back.

[C]

He owes, I think, 20 million or something.

[D]

A ton of money.

[B]

Honestly, I think it's more than.

[C]

I don't know. He said he's gonna. He's gonna fix the mistakes they made. There's no way that he makes the same mistakes.

[A]

I agree.

[C]

There's no way that points.

[A]

And he does have a reputation now. I mean, he has a pretty bad reputation, but at least everyone knows what it is. And you're kind of like, damn, it might actually work this time.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Even if it is a bad experience.

[A]

I almost want to go. Because if you're, you know, legendary, see it.

[E]

But if it goes down worse than the last one did, how legendary would that be, dude?

[D]

Then you're there.

[A]

You know what we should do is send Ken with a vlog camera to Fire Festival.

[C]

Would you go?

[B]

I'll come with. I'm dying.

[E]

Where's that? Bahamas.

[D]

Yeah, I think he likes the Bahamas.

[E]

God, that'd be kind of sick. Even if it did just go down terribly, Ken's there.

[C]

He's like, okay, we're sleeping in our tent right now. The tent's blown away. It's storming real bad.

[B]

That was so gnarly. I've watched that documentary multiple times.

[C]

A good one.

[A]

They have two different ones.

[B]

Yep, Yep. And just. I can't imagine being there. Like, true chaos.

[D]

It looked like chaos, you know, trying.

[B]

To get any water, food, and they're showing, like, a little bit of lettuce and a tomato that they're getting.

[C]

I don't know.

[D]

I did hear that it was portrayed a bit worse.

[B]

That would make sense. The documentary would really make it.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

The worst.

[D]

Because he was in jail at the time. They're like, this guy, we're gonna make him look like an idiot.

[B]

They did a good job at that.

[D]

They did, for sure.

[C]

Honestly, I guarantee that Fryer Fest 2 will be more of a success than the first one because the dude is not trying to have that happen again because it's like, you would never come back from it if it happens twice.

[A]

You guarantee it?

[C]

I would guarantee it's got to be better.

[A]

This is going to be click.

[C]

Dude.

[B]

After he got. After the fire Festival thing went to hell, like, he got jammed up right after again, for more fraud stuff.

[D]

You.

[B]

So, like, how. I don't know. Do you think he's ever actually going? Maybe he's gonna do things right. It's like he's gonna fraud his way forever.

[D]

Basically what he said is he just lied to the investors about what he was going to use the money for. And if he hadn't lied to them about what he was gonna use the money for, he would have been totally good.

[C]

Yeah, that was the illegal part. Hosting a shitty festival.

[D]

That is not illegal.

[C]

Lying to investors is.

[D]

Yeah, Evan. At least in his situation.

[C]

Ken, be honest. What are you doing in Vegas tomorrow?

[E]

I'm going to the Ford Bronco off rodeo. I.

[D]

Off rodeo.

[B]

I knew there was cowboys involved.

[C]

Ken. Ken, Is going to Vegas by himself for two days.

[D]

Well, I asked.

[E]

I asked Mike, and Mike was like, yeah, that'd be fun. Maybe hold off on booking it. I. I don't know if I want to go yet. And then so I was just like, it. I'm just gonna book it. If Mike wants to go, he can go. If not, that's fine. Mike never booked anything that he told me of, so I'm just gonna do it.

[A]

Good for you, Ken.

[C]

Good for you, Ken, for going. But where are you going? What are you actually doing? Be honest.

[D]

But what is it? It's actually to test the limits of your Bronco. Although, thankfully, you're in a position that you've already tested. Done that kind of.

[E]

But yeah, it's basically, you go there, they show you all the. Oh, the. The marketing. This is what your Bronco can do. And then drive around an off road course for a day.

[D]

And then are you gonna flex on everybody and be like, my. I already did this in my Bronco.

[E]

No.

[C]

Which Bronco?

[A]

You should show them pictures of yours.

[D]

Make sure you take a picture of that dent in the side of it. So you go, yeah, I got this off roading one day.

[B]

My friend was actually the one driving it.

[C]

But wait, which. Which. Which Bronco do you get this from? Like, the Raptor Bronco or.

[E]

No, the first one.

[C]

Dang.

[D]

So you get one for the Raptor too?

[C]

Wait, anyone that buys a Bronco can do this?

[E]

Yeah. Yeah. Mike could have done it if he wanted, but he. Wow.

[D]

I wonder how many Bronco people know that.

[E]

They give you, like a little mailer, then they put you on an email list when you buy the car.

[A]

So it's free.

[E]

Yeah, you gotta fly there, but that's.

[C]

Pretty good for free.

[D]

No, Ken and I did that for his Focus rs and it was fun as shit, except for I didn't know how to drive a manual. So it's really embarrassing when you're doing a track day in a car that you're supposed to own and you don't.

[B]

Know how to drive your science in a manual. No, no. This whole time watching you e brake it around, I thought it was at least a manual.

[D]

Oh, bro, I might delete that part. So people still think I'm cool. No, it's a bit unfortunate.

[C]

I think it'd be a great video if we went there and like, all these Bronco owners are going through this off road course and they're going like 3 miles per hour and they're like, look at the flex on this one. Wow.

[A]

This is insane.

[C]

And then we go there. We're just like jumping over 60.

[A]

Like that's not what you're supposed to do.

[D]

I remember in the Raptor one where they were explaining us that you did get to jump the Raptor. Do you get to jump your Bronco?

[E]

I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing. You should say I'm just showing up there.

[D]

Yeah, you gotta beat the out of that.

[E]

I paid the 50 bucks for insurance.

[D]

No way. $50 for insurance?

[E]

Yeah, with like a thousand dollar deductible. So you can up the car and.

[D]

It'S for 50 or for $1,050?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

That's worth it.

[D]

Total 100 worth it. Ken, you should go in there and just crank a left hand corner and roll it.

[C]

Oh my God. If you do that, I'm going to be so bummed that we were not there to like witness it. But if you come back and you tell us like, yeah, I told total out of Bronco.

[D]

Amazing, Ken, I'll give you the 50 bucks for the th.50. If you total out a Bronco.

[C]

Just have somebody just iPhone it. Yeah, just an iPhone matter if it's vertical. Just iPhone it. But you got to h the out of.

[A]

And he's like, then he has to have evidence that he actually was doing a Bronco off.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Now he's like, Ryan and Ben and I, we're going to Florida to hang with Steve Hamilton and we're going to, to, to Disney World. He invited us to Disney World. He's part of this like exclusive club that he was talking about on his podcast with us. And we're going this weekend. I guess a bunch of other YouTubers are going to be there. I don't really know much.

[D]

No, I don't really know much.

[A]

Yeah, I don't, I don't. So I mean we'll, we'll be able to talk more on it next podcast, but it gives you something to look forward to. I don't know if we're going to be able to film it. It's kind of the deal because like there's going to be other YouTubers there. I think, you know, we're, we're like real. No, I'm not saying they aren't. But like how we are off camera is very much so how we are on camera. Like it's not any difference. Whereas I don't know if they would want us like vlogging with them or like, you know, imagine if someone just pulled up on. You're just filming Them, you know, when you're with them.

[D]

Could also get a little weird being say it is 10 YouTubers. So there's 10 people filming this thing.

[A]

I think the ones are gonna. At least the supposed list that I saw. I highly doubt they're gonna be vlogging.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

If anything, maybe. Maybe Steve screw well because, I mean.

[D]

He just set up the whole trip. Yeah.

[A]

He's paying for it, so he should be the only one vlogging, if anything. But it'll be interesting.

[C]

It's. It's definitely a random crew.

[A]

Yeah. It's like a real mixture.

[C]

It's a real mixture.

[A]

I'm excited to meet all those. I'm big fans of everyone that. At least the list that I saw. But also, I have no idea if they're actually going to show up. So we'll see. Either way gonna be fun because, I.

[C]

Mean, we'll talk about in the next part.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

How it goes.

[A]

It sounds.

[D]

Yes. You'll just have to subscribe.

[A]

It's funny, people keep asking, you know, I was getting a haircut today. She's like, you got any plans for this weekend? I'm like, oh, I'm actually going to Florida. Oh, what are you doing down there? Going to Disney World. Oh, really? Who You? Who you going with? Me, my buddy Ben and Ryan.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Why are you going to Disney World? I was like, oh, well, this guy invited us and he loves Disney World. He has these, you know, crazy. Then it starts to make more. More sense.

[D]

So you and your buddies are going to Disney World because some guy invited you?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Are you sure about that?

[A]

I know I. I oftentimes think, man, she's got to think I'm just lying. She's got to think I'm just lying, but I'm telling the truth.

[C]

This is pretty weird things.

[A]

A lot of complex. Yeah. It's just like trying to make himself sound like he's doing stuff. He's constantly got all these things, you.

[D]

Know, it can be a tough balance.

[B]

Come up with a better story than going to Disney World with my buddies.

[A]

Yeah, it does sound pretty random.

[B]

I mean, it sounds like a blast. But yeah, you're really gonna stretch the truth on something and like, sound exotic. Like maybe anything.

[C]

How long?

[D]

I'm going to. I'm going to Vegas for a Bronco Romeo.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Something ridiculous.

[A]

You know, I just imagine Ken walking around Vegas. Imagine, like far shots, like set up very nice, like a movie. And it's just Ken walking. He's got a briefcase and he's got his, like. Like a cowboy Hat on. It's kind of below his eyes. It's like. It's him checking in. Hello. Mr. Matthews takes his coat off, hands it to him. He, like, hops in the elevator, press the button, closes the door. Just going up, checking into his room. It's like this long sequence of miss. Like, just mystery. You're like, what is this guy doing?

[C]

What is he doing?

[A]

What is he doing?

[C]

Next shot, he comes out wearing a Ford shirt. You never know this guy's next move.

[D]

I feel like it will be kind of fun, though. Like, you like Vegas. You'll be able to go there. You get a little gambling in. Solo gambling, peaceful. Then you go out, drive some cars, gamble a little more, come home.

[E]

Sounds I'm in and out in 36 hours.

[A]

I'm cracking jokes, but I'm highly jealous.

[D]

Yeah, it sounds very fun.

[A]

It does sound nice.

[E]

In and out. Enjoy Vegas for an afternoon. Go back at the lake.

[D]

Yeah, sounds pretty good plan.

[C]

You're gonna be able to figure it out.

[A]

You're gonna be moving light, you know, like, you're gonna be so nimble, like, you can do whatever you want because you don't have this. This crew or, like, people like, let's go over here and film this, or, let's do that, or this.

[E]

Don't have to worry about having anyone miss a flight or pissing on your.

[A]

Getting lost in the hallway.

[C]

It.

[D]

It is kind of nice. I mean, yeah, everything's more fun with friends, but. Yeah, you don't even have to, like, if you want to go anywhere to dinner, you don't even have to ask anyone. You're just like, I want to go there. And then you go, yeah, you're gonna.

[A]

Be traveling light, Ken.

[D]

You should dress, like, really fancy. And then people will just, like, start wondering, like, who is this man of mystery? And then maybe you'll start getting free it.

[C]

I'm not sure if you're gonna look too out of place in Vegas if you're just fancy. I think we look out of place in Vegas because we're T shirts and jeans.

[E]

Maybe you're in a hoodie on the strip, and you're like, who is. What is this person doing?

[D]

You should wear your cowboy hat.

[E]

Good idea.

[C]

And I would.

[A]

If you're going to a Ford Bronco Rodeo off.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You should be very western.

[D]

You took the Ford out of that, and you just said, I'm going to a Bronco rodeo or whatever the off. Whatever they call it. People would be like, oh, man, this guy's a cowboy. Can you kind of got like the stature of a bull rider.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like.

[D]

Or like a bronco rider. Like, yeah, I'm going to ride the most high end bronco training course.

[C]

Did you read the fine print? Are you sure that you're actually driving broncos and not riding?

[A]

It shows up. It's a full on rodeo.

[D]

No, it's all. It's a horse camp.

[E]

I, I didn't look into it that far, so maybe.

[C]

Oh, my God. Can you imagine?

[A]

It'd be amazing. Ken, if you're sitting at a blackjack table, make sure you have your cowboy hat on. Wear it the whole weekend. And whenever anyone asks what you're in town for, you say the rodeo. That's it. People will immediately have respect for him. Like, this guy's a badass. Because, I mean, I've been in Vegas when we have at least been in Vegas multiple times when like the rodeo's there. Like they got the PBR bull riding and they're all walking around their get up like they got their boots on. It's hotter. And shadow, they're wearing jeans and like, you know, they're flannel and they got their hat on.

[C]

Those are those guys.

[A]

I don't about the second to last guy you want to mess with in Vegas. Right behind UFC fighters.

[D]

Yeah, I was right behind a legitimate UFC fighter.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They, they demand respect. So you just got to say you're in town for the rodeo, but just.

[D]

Don'T say it to another guy wearing a cowboy hat. Yeah.

[A]

They go, oh, what? There were another cowboy hat guy sitting next to you. He goes, what are you in town for? You go, oh, what? How the hell did this get on my head? Someone set this on my head. I'm just here visiting.

[C]

What are you in town for? Oh, there's a convention of this new car coming out that you can jerk off in and it drives you around town. And I'm a representative for them. I'm doing endurance testing.

[B]

The cowboy hat in the back seat of Bronco. What's he doing in there?

[C]

Dude, my buddy Ryan wrote a, wrote a bull one time.

[D]

I hate when you tell people that actually ride bulls that. I wrote a bull here.

[A]

Show the picture, Ryan.

[C]

Anyone that rides bulls knows how gnarly it is. And you rode a bowl, dude. You rode a bowl.

[D]

That's like walking up to Ken Rockon and then going, my buddy C.J. rides dirt bikes. Yeah, buddy.

[C]

All right, well, there's no easy way to get on a bull there. Every bull is gonna be gnarly.

[D]

There's just some bulls are 450s and some are 1 10.

[A]

For sure. For sure.

[C]

But, dude, that bull could have you up. Could the bull before you, or did that guy mess the guy up real bad? That was an actual, like, bull rider.

[D]

I don't know. Yeah, his face and his collarbone stuff. Not good.

[C]

That was insane. That was hands down the craziest thing I think, that we've ever done on the channel.

[D]

That's a heavy title.

[C]

I think so.

[B]

Highest consequence. I mean.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You're out of control.

[D]

Yeah. That is the one scary thing. You're basically just hopping on this thousand pound thing that you have no control over.

[C]

Well, good luck. Good luck this weekend, Ken, and whatever your Vegas endeavors are.

[E]

It's just for a Friday. Just for a Friday.

[D]

One night.

[C]

All right.

[D]

That's all the Broncos can handle. All righty. We'll see you guys next week. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe if you haven't already.

[C]

Peace.
