CJ
Ken, how has your vape journey been?
Ken
I fell off the wagon.
Ben
It was kind of like a coming out party for you there.
Evan
Do you have a military?
Ben
They just have a bunch of muske
Evan
people do ask what I am. Like what are you? Why are you so dark? And I'm like, no, I'm half black.
CJ
How about the security cam footage of Gavin Elan?
Ben
Dude, he's really lucky.
CJ
So lucky.
Ryan
All right.
Ben
Where's that Micah guy?
Ken
Oh, just running a little late.
Ryan
He's bringing a cat to the farm. I don't know if that's you.
Siege
Oh, no, we are getting that cat.
CJ
Dude. The farm is becoming a straight up farm.
Ryan
It is.
Ken
I am all for that cat. Like it's just going to get rid of the mice. Then maybe we can not have the.
Ben
No way that cat is going to get rid of all the mice.
Ken
Cat's ferocious.
Ben
You didn't do you see it doesn't look that ferocious.
Ken
Just a kitten right now.
CJ
If they don't get rid of the mice are our new Highlander cows. Will for sure scare them off.
Ben
Our new highlander cows.
CJ
Oh, it's like the Sounds sorry, but DJs new.
Ben
It doesn't feel that way, dude. I spend like an hour and a half a day with these highlander cows. Like whether I'm getting them hay, fresh water, all this. And I have two other guys helping me out.
CJ
Well, it's a lot of work. Your highlander cows.
Ben
It's a lot of work.
CJ
The only guy you should be looking at right now is your business partner.
Ken
Yeah, and I was. I was feeding them last night.
CJ
What about the other end?
Ben
Did Ken gave him some.
CJ
What about the Other seven nights.
Ken
Well, we weren't here for some of them. And then.
CJ
Have you been stepping out or stepping up?
Ken
I've been stepping, stepping towards.
Ben
He helped me one time. I asked him to move the ring camera, and it was like the biggest thing.
Siege
Well, I moved.
Ken
It's fine.
Ben
It's fine right here. It's just staring at a tree.
Ken
I had already moved it and I was like, oh, God, now I got to do it again.
CJ
Yeah, go on. Yeah. So we got two mini Highlander cows. If you guys. Actually, they haven't seen the video.
Ryan
They have.
CJ
It's coming out on Thursday this week. Essentially, me and Ryan went down and we picked up two mini Highlander cows from the airport. They had these things cargoed in, like, in a cargo plane flown in, and we picked them up from the airport, put one of them in the sprinter van, drove four hours. The other one did not want to get out of his kennel. You'll.
Evan
You'll.
CJ
You'll meet that one. And then, yeah, pulled a little prank on the boys on. On CJ and Ken. But I gifted them to CJ. I'm CJ's best man. And his soon to be wife was posting on Instagram, dropping hints that like, hey, cj, you should buy me this as a wedding gift. The best man had to come through, got a mini Highlander cow, which is super hard to get. They're like.
Siege
I didn't realize that.
CJ
Yeah, they're super rare.
Ben
Like, nice ones. Like what we got.
CJ
Yeah, they're super nice. They're super rare. They came from Seattle. Purebred, dude. And they are incredible. And they're about this tall.
Siege
Crazy lineage on.
Ben
She absolutely loves them, though. I mean, like, every night after work, she's. She's there. She's got, like a chair now that she sits, and she sits there with him.
Evan
I saw her driving in the other night, and I was like, what is. Where is she going?
Ben
Bobby Jr, he, like, just stands right next to her and will just, like, just stand right next to her the whole time. And drywall. He'll just like, rest his head in her lap. Like, they. They love her. Oh, absolutely love her.
CJ
Well, they are. I mean, they love everyone they love. They are very trusting, which, you know, we told them on the way here. We said, hey, Bobby, you're a great little, little cow, but, you know, there's some. There's some bad apples out in the world, you know, you can't be trusting of everyone.
Ben
Yeah, no, but I do agree, it feels like everyone has been helping to Some degree. And everyone cares about them. I, I can tell just like even like big ranch, like when I drive in, say in the morning to go like check on him or whatever, he's already out there, like just kind of like looking at them, like making sure they're just making sure they're good. And then like he went and got him a fan and like put it up on the fence and I feel
CJ
like we're first time parents all together.
Ben
Yeah.
Siege
Yeah, you're right. Everybody's just really hyper focused on them.
CJ
But everyone has like a different parenting style. Like it's, it's actually funny to see and we've never really had to all take care of a living being.
Siege
It is a new thing.
CJ
I was thinking about that and everyone when I would tell people the idea of like, yeah, we're. I'm surprising the boys, but mostly CJ with these two mini Highlander cows. They're always like, well, what are you guys going to do with them? And I'm like, well, after the surprise, we're going to just bring them to the farm, build them a barn and take care of them and let them live their lives. And they'll just be characters in the videos moving forward of just like we'll go and they'll be, go and say hi. Yeah, they're like, how are you going to like take care of them? I'm like, valid question. I'm like, valid. Is that, is it that, is it that crazy to believe that we can take care of two cows? But everyone that I told seemed to have zero faith in us. But I think we've been doing a great job so far. We're about a week in the happiest. They're happy, like I said, healthy.
Ben
Some of us have been doing a great job. Some of us have been spending a lot of time taking care of them.
CJ
Others have been moving.
Ben
Some people will go and pet, pet them when they walk by. But dude, I haven't even been able to go to the gym yet this week. Not once because I don't have time,
CJ
but because you got a chew.
Evan
Dad, I know cowboys don't go to the gym.
Ben
Really tough. Yeah, I know. I just gotta work on the land, throw hay bales.
Ryan
That's all you gotta do.
Siege
CJ's out there in the morning throwing hay bells.
Ben
When I was carrying buckets of water last night, I was like, well, I guess this is a workout. I was doing like laps, filling up their little pool and. But yeah, they are great. I do love them.
Siege
Siege. Who have you Felt that hasn't stepped up in this, this cow endeavor. You mentioned twice, some people have been taking care.
Ben
I don't know, I just haven't seen. I just, you know, the people that have really been doing a good job is Kieran and Damien. I would say I'm next in line as like obviously spending a lot of time taking care of them. Otherwise I don't know if anyone else is really like. You did set up the fence though. Ryan, on that first day, set up
Siege
the fan, spent eight hours shopping for, for them, drove 45 minutes to the vet to pick up their stuff.
Evan
Ryan has been going hard, dude.
CJ
The uncle that gets no credit.
Siege
I'm the guy. Like, I would have been the most adamant on we should not get these cows because I didn't want to take care of them. I was worried about the living creature factor of this.
Ben
So too, it's stress. It's stressful dud. I just want to make sure they're comfortable and happy.
CJ
The reality of it is, is that they're pretty high maintenance right now. Yeah, no, they have to be bottle fed right now.
Siege
Twice a day.
CJ
Twice a day. And then that's for the next like month and a half. And then once they're three, four, four months old, then they're just like kind of chilling.
Siege
Yeah, once a day or.
CJ
Yeah, they just check their water. They'll eat hay and, and kind of be more normal cows. Lot, lot less maintenance.
Siege
Yeah, but they're cute little now.
CJ
But Bobby, you have been asking for these.
Ben
I don't know if I ever asked.
CJ
How many times did he say? I said somebody should give us Highland cows.
Ben
I want them, but I don't. It's like a dog. Like I want a dog. But also.
CJ
Are you backing out on it now?
Ben
No, I'm not though. That's the thing is like, I wouldn't take it back now.
Siege
I wouldn't give them back, but man.
Ken
So you're saying I should cancel the chickens? That you've also been talking about what we should get.
Ben
See, chickens may provide a little bit more. More use, but also, Bobby, I feel like they're a little bit less work maybe. I don't know. But I wouldn't take them back for anything. And at this point, if we're gonna have, you know, people in place to like take care of them, let's just say a farmhand, you might as well have more animals, you know, like, because two little highlander cows is like pretty light work for a full time job.
CJ
What kind of animals are we thinking Here.
Ben
Then I think you'd have to do chickens. Like, they're useful, you know, like, you get fresh eggs. Why do you think I started with bees? Low maintenance.
CJ
You went from low maintenance to extreme. Arguably highest.
Ben
Like the cheapest, cheapest low maintenance to the most expensive, high maintenance. How expensive do one of these cattle cost? Explain.
CJ
So, like I said, like, these mini Highland cows are, like, super sought after. And they're damn near made in a lab of, like, making these Highland cows from a normal Highlander cow into a mini Highlander cow. What it is, I don't know all the genetics of it and how all the breeding goes and the IVF and etc. But these mini Highlander cows, they're rare because of just what they are. And they are so expensive.
Siege
I was disgustingly pretty surprised when Taylor told us. I was like, geez.
CJ
So one of these Highlander cows cost, I believe, like $25,000 a piece. That's not what we paid. We got a smoking deal for two of them. And that was. That was part of the reason why I wouldn't have done it at 25. I love you, Siege. But not. Not 50 grand worth. Yeah, it's insane.
Ben
So pretty cool, though.
CJ
It's pretty cool that they're like, that. They're bougie little bastards, but.
Siege
And they have a crazy lineage.
CJ
Their.
Siege
Their dad is like a ten million dollar bowl or something like that. Someone was saying, like, super, super sought after.
CJ
So, you know, like, all the pictures of, like, Highland cows that Ben has
Siege
hung up around his house.
CJ
I do. I have two of them in my house. I wonder if that's their grandpa.
Siege
That'd be sick.
CJ
It'd be so sick. But the legendary Ben, big Highlander cows that are, like, super photographed and, like, hanging up in houses. That's their grandpa, I think, or great grandpa, but like, the lineage of it.
Siege
And then also their brother and sisters, or brothers are Jake Paul's cows.
CJ
Yep. They're relatives.
Ben
No, I. I really do love them, though. I just want to make sure we get, like, a proper setup for them. Like a good barn and like, you know, proper fence. Give them. Give them a lot of room to run and do their thing once they kind of grow up and are out of this infant stage.
CJ
But they get to, like, 30 to 36 inches tall, and they obviously get super hairy, super fluffy, and then they grow their horns. So they were asking us, like, do you want us to burn the horns off so they can't grow the horns? And I was like, no. I feel like you have to have the horns. Like, that's. That's the look. So the hair goes over the eyes. They can't barely see. And then they got the massive horns, but they're minis, so they're like this tall. But they'll grow outward.
Siege
Get wide.
CJ
They'll get wide, but they don't really grow. So they're kind of the Evan. Evan builds. And then they'll have the horns. Sorry, Ev, how do you feel about this? At. You haven't said a single word. I'll. I'll pod.
Ben
Ev's been. Ev. Ev's. Honestly, I take back what I said. Everyone's been helping. Ev's been there with me. Helping.
Ryan
Well, I assumed you weren't talking about me. I thought it was just Ken.
Ben
Yeah, I was like, there's no way
Ryan
he's talking about me right now.
Ben
But, yeah, it's been. It's been pretty crazy.
CJ
Spany, did you go out to get milk?
Evan
No, I didn't get. I didn't try to milk them.
Ryan
There's only one other.
Siege
That's actually funny. So. So many people. And every time we tell someone about how we have the cows, everyone wants to come and see them. And Scott from Red river was there with his wife. He's getting dropped off because he'd take one of our cars, and his kids are in the back seat, and they go, they have cows. Let's go see the cows. Like, they're all excited. And one of the little one goes, can I milk it? And I go, no, it's a boy cow. And they go, why can't I milk the boy cow? And both me and his mom looked at each other, went, how do we explain this one? It was like a classic little kid thing. Why can't you milk a male cow? But spending. What can I guess?
Evan
I. I haven't tried. Not gonna try either.
Ben
So yesterday we were. We had to give them their shots. And it was tough as hell trying to find a vet around here to, like, kind of help us out. But I got one on the phone. Ryan went and picked up the vaccines. I was hoping they'd come out. It sounded like they were going to come out and do it themselves. There's like, oh, no, you just come pick them up. So Ryan went. Got him. I had my cousin come autumn who grew up on a farm, because, like, I was like, I don't know how to give a vaccine to a cow. We have three of them for each of them. So, like, me and Evan were, like, holding it, and they didn't really like the vaccines. But what she started telling us was like, well, you. What are you gonna do about the balls? Like, you're gonna have to get rid of the balls. We're like, what? Like, no, we're not getting rid of their balls. Like, that's just. Why would we do that? That's crazy. And then Big Ranch is like, if you don't get rid of the balls, they're gonna turn mean when they get older.
Ryan
I mean, he said aggressive, not necessarily mean.
Ben
I just. I'm just torn up. Like, I don't really want to get rid of their balls. I just feel like that's just too far.
CJ
Taking their man, like, what, do you
Ben
love these guys or not? You know, like, we already gave him a vaccine. Well, I was on the fence about that.
CJ
Yeah, they did ask.
Ryan
They.
CJ
They asked me that before. They were like, do you want us to burn the horns and do you want to cut the balls? And I was like, I'm gonna let their dad make that decision.
Ben
Thank you. I appreciate it.
CJ
Yep.
Ben
So, yeah, it's pretty torn up about
Evan
it keeping the balls, though, huh?
Ben
I don't know. I mean, it's. Yeah, I don't know.
Ken
I mean, what to do if we don't. Like, we can sell the sperm, then.
Ben
It's always about money with you, Ken. You don't care about their balls.
Ken
If we keep it, though, then we can sell the sperm and then we can make more little mini highlands.
Evan
How are you gonna get sperm, Ken?
Ben
They did mention that us breeding Highland mini Highland cows sounds like a ton of work.
CJ
Oh, my gosh.
Siege
Of course. Ken is pro balls.
Ben
That's true. Their dad, or one at least, Drywall's dad. Yeah, he's all about the balls now.
CJ
That's lineage right there. Yeah.
Siege
That's the one thing that one vet was all pissed off about to me.
CJ
That they still had the balls.
Ryan
Yeah.
CJ
Really?
Siege
So the balls. I was like, I don't know. Isn't that a personal parent decision?
Ken
I mean, when is the right time to cut them? Because, like, with dogs, you want to wait like a year.
Siege
Well, you don't want too long, otherwise you're going to end up being a full grown human, man. And then you got to get your freaking skin snip. Like a couple.
Ryan
A couple months.
Ben
She said we had, like a month, man.
CJ
It's like every. Every other vet you ask though has, like, a different opinion on these things. And, like, it seems like you don't really know much about them, being that they're like these rare little animals.
Ben
Yeah, I haven't gotten one straight answer. It's like, no, no, you can't feed them.
CJ
Hey.
Ben
And then it's like, yeah, so then give them a little bit of hay. I'm like, well, so which one?
Siege
Stepping out. I'm. I'm uncle now. I'll come in and play with them.
CJ
Become the cute little yeah too Ryan, you know, I'm the funko. Show up, give a little head scratch, maybe a little belly rub, and then I'm out. Uncles shouldn't be there making decisions like, do they get to keep their balls or not? You know, that's for their dad.
Ben
Yeah, I don't know. Comment down below. Do you think we gotta keep their nuts or, or, I mean, I don't know. It's like the professionals are like, you want to get rid of those soon?
CJ
I'm not too worried about Bobby, but drywall is a little, little feisty. And once he gets some horns bigger,
Siege
we have to put up a cinder block wall to keep them in, dude.
CJ
Yeah, so once he gets horns, then he's going to be, you know, who knows what he's going to be doing.
Ken
I was trying to bottle feed him last night. I was bottle feeding Drywall and then Bobby's over here trying to like steal the bottle out of his mouth.
Ben
If you have one bottle, it's is tough. They get jealous. Same with food. You'll give them two things of the same food and then if one of them is this, they're just, they just want to go to that one. I'm like, bro, you got the same thing right here.
CJ
They do say that they're like goats in the aspect that you need two. So when I was like looking into it, they're like, well, I'm glad there's two. We don't want to sell you one. We have to sell you two. The breeders request was to sell two to make sure that they're not alone. Little companion.
Ben
The boys, they are buddies. Always peeing on each other. Pooping on each other.
CJ
Yeah, they're just brothers.
Siege
Seeds. Were you worried about them being outside with the air quality this week?
Ben
It's just been, it's been kind of stressful. Like I'm thinking about them all the time. Like, I'm just like, ah. Like, okay, let's go change the water out. I hope they're not too hot. Like, let's get one of those little pools in there. Do they have enough shade?
CJ
Well, it's good. I mean, before you have a child, hopefully this can work. Some of the Some of the kinks out.
Siege
But with the, with, with the smoke. Have you guys seen that? The big fires. I'll come up kind of by you Ev.
Ryan
I gotta look at this right here. They say that the air quality chart 301 to 500 is hazardous. And right now at my house it's 1134.
Siege
Holy. So it's double what is considered hazardous.
Ben
You probably want to get home asap, huh?
CJ
How smoky is it? Like how far can you see?
Ryan
Ah, it's hard cuz I'm just seeing like Snapchats. But I mean it's like the equivalent of driving in a dense fog. Like Nikki's sending me snaps and it's like you can see the taillights of the vehicles like a little way.
CJ
So where are these fires?
Ken
So there, there's some fires that are by Ely, Minnesota and then there's also fires in western Ontario. Then they're just kind of all combining together.
Ben
What's up with all these? There's always a fire in Canada, but
Ryan
having one drier than right now and Ely's normal boundary waters in Ely. I mean it, it just.
Ben
What happens is.
Evan
I heard it.
Ben
Somebody who ignites it on accident.
CJ
I heard it's lightning.
Siege
Lightning, yeah.
Ben
Right.
CJ
Which makes no sense. Cuz if it's lightning out, isn't it raining?
Siege
I have always wondered about that.
Ryan
If.
Siege
If it's like a lightning strike on the back end of the storm or if it just gets ripping because it's so dry.
CJ
Which is crazy cuz it's been raining nonstop here. How is it dry?
Ryan
I.
Siege
It's not very dry down here, but up there it must be. But it's interesting because everyone always has an opinion on these fires. I feel like whether it be bad forestry management, whether it be, you know, all these different things, not logging it and whatever, but Ken's brother is a logger and literally went to school for arborism. Arborist. He's an arborist.
Ken
Something around those lines, something with arbor
Siege
in front of it. And anyway he has like talked about what they do. Like Canada like sprays the forest with glass fate, which is like a chemical to get them to forest to grow cleaner so they can go in and then log them easier. And then in Minnesota since it's like protected area, they won't let them log it. So the forest overgrow and the nature's way of clearing them out is a fire. So it's just kind of like a. It's. It's a bit of a double edged sword. Every time I hear about this there's like two sides arguing with each other about why the fires exist.
Ben
Dude, it's so hard to put a freaking fire out too. Ben and I know.
Siege
Yeah, exactly.
CJ
Dude, we need to. We need to donate some shirts to that area so everyone.
Ben
Oh yeah, everyone starts wapping it with their shirt.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
I posted that video on Instagram and it got 4.6 million views. 3.6 of them are calling you and I idiots.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ben
The other million. The other million are like, yo, that was mad impressive. Like, I can't believe they got that out.
CJ
What were we supposed to do?
Ben
Exactly. That's my. Yeah.
Siege
Fired up that you just didn't call the fire department, which you did. So that's the thing. They were mad about something you did.
Evan
Did.
Ken
I saw there was a. A video with one of the Minneapolis news stations they went up to and they interviewed like the forest management guy up in Ely and he said that fire might burn until it snows.
Siege
Yeah, I did see that.
CJ
I don't know.
Siege
You think he was being a little dramatic? Seems like he's being a little dramatic.
Ken
It is pretty remote there and a lot of that stuff is hard to access, so I kind of understand it, but.
CJ
Oh, I'm sure. Up in the Boundary Waters. Is it in the Boundary Waters?
Siege
Yeah.
Ryan
Yes. Yeah.
CJ
What are they doing about that? Only by plane, right?
Siege
Yeah, Plane, helicopter. Looks crazy.
Evan
Dude.
Siege
Crazy. Videos.
CJ
Pop up some pics of that.
Ryan
Have you guys seen the video of the train?
Siege
Yeah.
Evan
Oh, I saw that.
Ken
Yeah.
Evan
That was crazy.
Ben
They were so calm because they were. It seemed like they were waiting for the other train to pass. So that way the tracks would turn and then they could get moving again. Is that.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I don't know. 100 context. I just saw the clip.
Ben
It appeared to be.
Siege
Let me pull it up here for you guys.
Ben
So they're sitting in this.
Ryan
It's like out of a. A movie. Yeah.
Evan
I actually didn't really think that that was real. This could potentially over or take us here. This has gotten a little scary.
Ben
This video recorded by the crew in
Ad Read Voice
rural Ontario, Canada, Monday.
Ben
So it appears they're stuck waiting for another train to pass. So that way they can get going on the tracks. But there's wildfires all around them.
Siege
What?
Ryan
You're in a metal box that like doesn't burn, but how long until it gets hot?
Ben
You have nowhere to go too. You're stuck.
CJ
What about all the hoses that it takes to run the train? All the electrical?
Evan
Yeah. They could also have a barrels of oil on the Back. Okay, y' all need to hurry up here. Like, seriously. We're in.
Siege
I do love just how chill that guy is, but he's like. He literally says, this might overtake us, and it's just flames.
Ben
Flames around. Yeah. They're in the middle of a fire, dude.
CJ
I can't believe they would do that. That would even go through that.
Ben
I suppose if you're going fast, I don't know. Maybe you don't know it's there, and then you come up on it.
CJ
What about, like, your trees that are falling down like crazy?
Ben
Dude, I don't know. That's a good point.
Ken
I feel like the floor fire could warp the tracks or maybe do something to, like, the ties and.
Ben
It's a good point, dude. I don't know.
CJ
Yeah, the actual. The actual whales, that's not the easiest.
Ryan
I don't know if you guys have burned railroad ties, but they are made to not burn. They can burn well.
Ken
They've got so many chemicals in them to make them not burn.
Ben
Really? Wow.
Ken
Oh, that's just filled with it.
Ben
What you didn't see on that was the guy's like, hey, you guys gonna get going? Like, you could tell they were getting nervous. They're like. That was at the part where they finally see the train coming so they can get moving again. But he's, like, kind of swearing at him and stuff.
CJ
Let me see some. Some pics of, like, the boundary waters.
Ken
I'm trying to find some good ones, but it's all kind of, like, just smoke.
CJ
I saw one of, like, a. It must have been a commercial airplane going over what was probably Ontario of the smoke billowing above the clouds. So it had to have been getting into, like, the jet stream. That one.
Siege
Yeah. This is so gnarly.
CJ
It's just like, two fires. Two massive fires right now. That.
Siege
Yeah, this is Thunder Bay.
CJ
And it seems like Michigan's getting, like, the brunt end of it. Right.
Ken
Wisconsin to New York is kind of just bad.
Siege
So I saw a news story about how the air has a certain equivalent to smoking cigarettes.
Ben
Right now.
Siege
Right now? Yeah. Like, when you're outside, it has the same particles in it. Of PM 2.5.
Ben
How many cigs? Like, if you're chilling outside for an hour, you can kind of hear it in my voice, like.
CJ
Yeah, I think that was the bender that we were on.
Siege
Yeah.
Ben
Yeah, we did.
Evan
Just.
Ben
Yeah.
Siege
So, Evan, you said yours at 11.
Ryan
11:45, I believe it was.
Siege
If you're exposed to that for 24 hours, it's like, you've smoked 44 cigarettes.
CJ
Holy.
Siege
44 cigarettes.
Ryan
That's a Saturday night in the garage.
Evan
Yeah.
Siege
That's so bad. So, I mean, down here was in the like 500s, so we'll say 524 hours exposed. It's like 15 cigarettes.
Ryan
Yeah. Nikki sent me a snap this morning, and her eyes are just redder than the shipping containers. Oh. She's like, yeah, we're probably gonna go somewhere this weekend.
Siege
I was thinking that when you were like, yeah, I'm gonna go home. I'm like, they should probably come here. It's clearer here.
Ryan
Yeah, that was a hard thing. I just haven't been home for a
Siege
while, but I know.
Ryan
And I'm kind of the guy that's like, little smoke.
Ben
Yeah, you are.
Ryan
Nothing like, I gotta mow my lawn. Like, I have. I need to do. And then now I'm kind of thinking about it. Yeah. Maybe it's not good.
Ken
Like, did you. I know your sister just had a kid. Did they, like, leave the area then, or.
Ryan
No, they're. They're holding tight. It's like, stand inside air purifiers. Yeah, but I was thinking that too. I'm like, well, I'll just go home and swing through Walmart and grab an air purifier. Bet there are nothing on.
Siege
You better buy one here.
Ben
Get one here.
Ryan
Yeah, but I don't think we have to go too far. Like, I think even our cabin would, like, be a considerable upgrade still, like, bad.
Siege
But you're not downwind from it.
Ryan
But I think it would. Yeah. Knock the chart down a few hundred points.
CJ
Yeah. So what's going to. Couple cigarettes.
Siege
Shave a couple cigarettes off, get you a couple free ones.
CJ
You just can't smoke any extra cigarettes this week. Weekend. And then you'll be.
Ryan
Are you guys familiar with fight fire with fire?
CJ
I mean, they said it's like, covet the people that didn't get coveted or were least affected were the smoking.
Siege
Do you think it counts as two cigarettes or do you think there's like an overlap?
Ryan
Well, I mean, the cigarettes have a filter, so it's pretty much. Yeah, just eliminating the smoke, I think. Yeah.
Siege
There you go.
Evan
What's it. What's it level out to smoking a vape?
Ken
The vapes don't have a filter in them, though. I don't think the cigarettes do. So you're technically helping.
CJ
And Ken, how has your vape journey been?
Ken
I fell off the wagon.
Siege
You did well in Vegas.
CJ
Heavily in Vegas.
Ben
I just hit it a couple times.
Ken
I bought one.
CJ
Wait, did you Buy one or did Greg?
Ken
Greg bought one.
CJ
Yeah, well, Greg did a lot of that, Ken. Didn't have anything to do with.
Ryan
But what's your experience?
Evan
Excuse.
Ryan
And we were at the cow pasture yesterday.
Ben
Oh, you were hitting it yesterday.
CJ
Oh, I took Evans in front of Bobby.
Ben
Bobby.
Ryan
It was just one.
Ben
Just one bad example for drywall Ken. He really is a bad dad.
Ken
Hey, Ben said I bought these cows for cj, so.
CJ
No, I threw you in there too.
Ken
No, no, rewind it.
Ben
I'll take them.
Ken
Rewind it.
Ben
Take. I'll take drywall under my wing.
Ryan
Ken, I think that we should go in on a couple of hogs.
Ben
Yeah, you guys should get Harley. Oh, pigs.
Ken
I don't.
Ryan
You know, and those, you just feed them slop for a year and then you make some bacon and you wash
Ben
your hands, come home from the bar, lay down and start rolling around. End up sleeping in this.
Ken
I really don't like pork though. I like. I'd much rather get like a. Just a normal ass, like beef, cow. And then you have a full cow at the end of it.
Ryan
I'm down with that too. Get ahead of beef.
CJ
Imagine.
Ryan
Just as long as there's like an end. End game to it, you know, you just fatten her up, fatten up, you
Ken
got a full house good for a year.
Ryan
I like cheeseburgers.
CJ
That's what Jen, Chef Jen said when we introduced her to Bobby and drywall. She looked at him and like for me and she goes, are we gonna eat them? I said, what the is wrong with you, Jen?
Ben
It's not always one of them in front of them.
CJ
They were sitting there mooing, looking at us.
Ken
I feel like those cows wouldn't be good for meat cuz they're so small.
Siege
You wouldn't go be expensive Cheeseburgers by
Ryan
the most expensive, high maintenance cows that have the smallest amount of meat. Not a good idea.
CJ
It's a bad return on meat.
Siege
Vet number one did tell me that he said, you know you're not going to make any money doing this, right? And I said, no, it's for the love of the cow.
CJ
Nothing we do makes money. Losing money.
Ben
Yes.
Siege
Badass.
Ben
They're getting in trouble for this. Over in Pensacola Beach, Florida, the Blue Angels were flying over. There's a bunch of people and this guy just went too close. Like, really?
Evan
That was gnarly.
Ken
He was low.
Ben
I mean, I don't really see a problem with it, but like, definitely could have been bad. I mean, if he crashed
Ryan
coming out of there, it could have like. All right, Potentially been dangerous.
Siege
Listen man, if my hair gets charred off by a bro.
Ben
That fighter jet, that is crazy. No one was really freaking out though.
Ken
They're also extremely loud.
Siege
Yeah, that's got to be like ear piercingly loud. I did see the like the original article was like people enraged by Blue angel flyover, whatever, Something like that. And then it was like the video was that that you just showed CJ and then it was all the people cheering on the beach. And so everyone was like, they don't look too mad to me.
CJ
I feel like that's some Florida.
Ben
Yeah. I don't know.
Siege
That's some America. Benny, what do you think about that? You haven't said a word all day.
Evan
Junk out those in Canada.
Siege
You don't.
Ben
Do you guys have military.
Evan
Do you have a military.
Siege
Is it just Canadian?
Ryan
What do you call Canadian pieces?
Ben
They just have a bunch of muskets.
Evan
No, they're.
Ken
They ride around on horses all day.
Evan
Yeah, they ride around horses.
Siege
That's actually cool. The Mounties.
CJ
Yeah. Ev. Would you ever ride in a fighter jet?
Ryan
I mean I'd really prefer not to,
Ben
but if you had the opportunity.
Ken
Fighter jet or helicopter.
Ryan
I'm saying no right now cuz I know where this is going to get me.
Ben
Could you imagine.
CJ
Well, you know, maybe a once in a lifetime thing.
Ben
The footage he's riding in the back or whatever and then it still start going up. He's like. He's.
Ryan
Oh God.
Ben
He just going up. Bombing. They're doing loops and other things upside down. You see those videos where people pass out?
Ryan
I don't know.
Siege
I guess. Yeah. I don't know how hard to say.
Ryan
I probably. I would definitely try out one of those like the G force simulators or whatever. It spins you around and shit just to see like spin.
Evan
You tell you something on the ground
Ben
that seems more miserable than riding in the plane.
Ryan
I think it would be miserable but in my head less scary.
Ben
It but I just. I've never like things that just spin you like when we'd go to the amusement park, I liked roller coasters that went up and down.
Evan
Yeah.
CJ
Like the teacup.
Ben
Yeah. It's kind of like a lame ride. But I just was not a. I did not like getting spun.
CJ
Keep this guy like the teacup.
Ben
When you see the astronauts, when they put them in that thing, I was like that would be the worst.
Ryan
I feel like you're going so fast or however it works. I feel like it probably doesn't even feel like you're spinning. And maybe it does, but I feel like you're just so locked in. I don't know if you have the like dizzy thing.
CJ
It might feel so much.
Ben
You're, you're spinning so fast that it feels like you're standing still.
CJ
How many GS are those fighter pilots pulling?
Ken
For sure, over five.
CJ
In comparison, a 0 to 60 pull in like the fastest car. What, what GS is that?
Ken
It's like, let me, let me do the fighter pilot.
Siege
Point two, I think is something like
Ryan
what I'm pretty sure the hell camino is like four and a half
CJ
frame off the line.
Ken
A normal combat is five to seven. Hard defense or offensive maneuvers can be eight to nine. A F16 or F22 can do around nine.
Ben
Ryan, your Corvette's got one of those G meters. What do you think's like the most GS you've seen when you are really ripping it?
Siege
I seem to remember seeing like 1.2, something like that, which is pretty, pretty impressive.

Siege
Yeah.
Ben
Rear wheel drive.
CJ
What's like a plaid?
Ben
They say when that's acceleration. I'm talking like when you turn. I bet you get more of a G out of it.
Siege
They say CA ZR1 can reach 1.75 GS off the line.
Ken
Tesla Model Plaid is 1.3. Holy Bugatti. Chiron is 1.1. Top Fuel Dragster can be 5 to 6.
Siege
Yeah, they're like they're fighter jets with wheels.
Evan
They say when you ride a supercross track you get 5 to 10 GS on like the faces of the jumps. Like when you seat bounce a jump it like G's you out reds and especially like 5 to 10 G's.
Ben
Perfect. I'm sure it's like.
Evan
Yeah, yeah. It like launches you.
Siege
G forces are an interesting thing because like to say the probably the crash that Ben experienced was probably like a 50G crash. Which you know like the hoonicorn one.
Ben
Okay.
Siege
Something like that.
Ken
Or.
Evan
Or you 50 GS.
CJ
Maybe not out of all the examples we have. I don't know, we gotta bring that up.
Ben
When you said the crash, I'm like, which one?
Siege
My bad.
CJ
No, I'm just messing with you. Classic. It's the second time actually that I've heard that today that you've hit 50
Ben
GS on that crash.
CJ
No, that crash is brought up. I was at the Boys and Girls club for a meeting and this kid came up to me and he gave me a little unicorn.
Siege
Classic.
CJ
It was like. It's like the one you crash. Nice to snatch it out of his hand. Thanks, bro.
Evan
Put it in your pocket, buddy.
Ken
Assuming you're doing about 30 when you crashed into that, it'd be 15 to 30 GS.
CJ
You weren't coming to an corrupt stop.
Ryan
That's more than I thought it was going to be.
Siege
Yeah, but yeah, it's kind of about how long you can sustain G forces before you get knocked out. What's that?
Ben
Check this out. So they did a limited edition. They did a limited edition LEGO drop of the Hoonicorn. And I was like, oh frick, I gotta get one of those. And then they were sold out. I went to ebay and paid a little extra. Got it. Yeah, they sold out instantly. But I got two of them. So I was thinking, slide your buddy,
Evan
maybe you have a little.
Ben
Aiden, have him build it.
CJ
Yep.
Ben
And then we'll put it up on the shelf.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
Inside this weekend. And then I don't know, he'll have fun out hopefully. And then we'll throw it up on the shelf. Yeah, that's cool. Dude, that is corn replica Lego.
Ryan
Want to look closer? Look Ben.
CJ
Yeah, yeah, dude, Aiden will have that. Aiden, have that done. By the time you get all the groceries in.
Ben
We could ship the other one to Gavin and then Kevin's had a hard enough week. Yeah, we don't. He doesn't need.
CJ
That would be the straw that would break his back.
Ryan
Kent, hit a quick Google search. If they make a Lego three wheeler
Ben
set, you might be interested in doing that one.
Ryan
That would be pretty epic.
Evan
I'll build it if I have to.
CJ
Well Gav, you have to.
Ryan
We have to buy them another three wheeler and say the only way you get this is if you build this LEGO three wheeler.
Ben
But seriously, have to.
Ryan
I will if I have to.
CJ
Yeah.
Ryan
Stay here all night.
Ken
They make like a Batman three wheel thing. But that's just a Can Am spider. Effectively.
Ben
If it's got three wheels, he's in.
CJ
How about the security cam footage? Of Gavin Elin revving up the motor on the little contraption. Gosh, dude, he is really lucky. So lucky.
Ben
He is. We are.
CJ
We're lucky. Everyone's lucky. That was crazy.
Ryan
The way I've been describing it is, of all the crazy stuff we do that involves risk, that was, like, the most dangerous thing. That was the dumbest. At the same time.
Siege
The dumbest things always are the most dangerous, too.
Ben
Yeah.
Siege
Like, so, so often there is an overlap between those two words.
Ben
Dude. That's what I was thinking, too, is, like, it's just so easily something can go wrong, even if it was working for three hours prior.
Evan
I mean, dude, it's gnarly, but. And I showed my dad, and he was like. Like, he's like, honestly, I'm not surprised. He's like, you guys aren't baking cookies. Like, shit's gonna happen.
Ben
Yeah, 100.
Siege
You know, guys aren't baking cookies.
Ben
Happens even when you're baking cookies, bro. Is there, like, dents in the.
Ken
Surprisingly, no.
Ben
Not the floor cleaner.
Siege
I'm actually. I'm surprised they didn't carry as much velocity.
Evan
Yeah, but they sharp. Yeah.
Ben
They got you in the neck, dude.
Evan
The freaking. There's a chunk out of the concrete.
Ken
There was one that ended up by the fridge, too.
Siege
There's so many people in the shop that day, too, you know, like, someone could have been walking in the door at that time, or somebody could have been upstairs, like.
CJ
Or.
Siege
Yeah, the whole thing was frustrating.
Ryan
There were more people, like, watching, like, most things. We probably would have been standing around it.
Siege
Yeah.
Ryan
Like. Yeah, most likely. Like, it seemed pretty chill.
Ben
Austin cruiser's wife was standing off to the side because otherwise she would have been direct.
Ryan
Did you hear the last thing she said before we fired it up?
Ben
Is it gonna break?
Ryan
I should take my phone out and film this. Nah, just kidding,
CJ
dude.
Ryan
She was something like that.
CJ
Yeah.
Siege
Yeah, she was.
Ben
Well, you gotta be because. Because you didn't get hit. Like, we can all laugh about it and be somewhat happy about it because we got lucky.
Ryan
I'm just laughing because it was so gnarly. Like, it's just like, what else do you do? Just like, what the heck? Everyone's good.
Ben
So what do we say? We just scrapping that whole idea?
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
That might be a sign.
CJ
They go. They go. Well, you want us to figure out an alternative? I said, let's put a little time in between now and then, Let the dust settle out.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
And then we can make a decision.
Ken
I feel like if we're gonna do that, we have to buy like just a drum, metal, solid wheel. You should build stuff onto it.
Ben
No, Yeah, I didn't.
Siege
I don't like being in the suggestion department in the builds area because I'm an idiot. But I mean, they make flat belt wheel. Like that's, that's what the Indians use. It's just, it's just a belt drive for like a sawmill and like that. And they just make wheels. They're just a flat belt wheel.
Ben
Why don't we just build a catapult?
Ryan
I think the problem.
Ben
Old fashioned catapult.
CJ
Cj, after what we just talked about, you think we should recommend building a catapult?
Ben
I think a catapult would actually be safer than that.
Ken
What, what's the other word?
Siege
Trebuchet.
Ken
Trebuchet, bro.
CJ
Yeah.
Ryan
Maybe we've already talked about this on here, but that woman with the slingshot that takes the watermelon.
Siege
Yes.
Ben
No, I haven't seen it.
Siege
Oh my God.
CJ
Slingshots it out and it comes back at her.
Ryan
It's from like a reality.
Siege
Yeah, it's a reality.
Ben
Yeah, I've seen that. Where like you got the guy holding it, they sling it, it turns around, hits you in the nuts.
CJ
I mean. No, no, just look, you already know what's about to happen.
Siege
Something about all of these watermelons lined up.
Ben
What is this place definitely in England?
Evan
Yeah.
CJ
Oh, of course. There's a night there. Oh my gosh.
Ben
Was she knocked out?
Siege
Oh, it's just the most.
Evan
Right into the face.
Siege
She ate that watermelon, bro.
Ryan
I wonder if.
CJ
Because it was so hard.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, that was real.
Evan
That was on tv.
Ryan
But you know what I mean, like everything. If it didn't break, it might have been more. You know what I mean? Since it exploded so good. It might have.
Siege
That's a good point.
Ben
I'm talking. So that's the slingshot. That's a very good possibility with a slingshot. I'm talking catapult where it like. And then it throws. And we could throw it at the limo and see, we can.
CJ
Can we build a catapult that could launch like a washing machine?
Ben
Definitely.
CJ
Obviously a big wrench. I'll say.
Ben
Anything's possible.
Siege
Instead of building one, I just want to go out to this guy about 605 in the afternoon.
CJ
Yeah, I think we've shown this guy before.
Ben
Yeah. Never seen.
CJ
Yes. So we just need to have something that's a bunch of weight. Like we just put like a motor on one side. Right.
Ben
So when the arm comes up, good old fashioned catapult indestructible backspin. Plenty of space. Not standing right next to it.
Siege
Break the pieces, please. You son of a.
Ben
That was cool, but also very pretty, right? Yeah.
Siege
A trebuchet. It has something to do with the way that things go. Like, it's not in a c. In a straight line. I don't know. World record pumpkin chunking.
Ryan
3,000. Oh.
Siege
How many feet are in a line?
Ben
Got whipped.
Ryan
Is it 5054. 5254.
Siege
Holy.
Ben
Through it. Half a mile that would go. That would go into the town over.
Ryan
Ken. Feet in a mile.
CJ
Can you imagine? We start launching pumpkins at Jake Sherbrooke's cross town. Now, that would be a good prank. He starts getting hit with pumpkins from
Ben
so half a mile away that whatever we throw will land in his yard.
CJ
He's just getting pelted.
Ben
You guys see they have a new mayor race in Cormorant.
CJ
No.
Siege
Really?
Ben
Just had it sent to me last night.
CJ
And who's on the ballot?
Ben
Well, I didn't see who's on the ballot, but there's a new one coming up, and I think maybe Junior.
Siege
Bobby Junior said gonna say, do they allow cows?
Ben
They don't like people. They're discriminatory towards people here in Cormorant. So I think, how about a mini Highland cow instead of a dog? We've had dogs.
CJ
Yeah. And nothing in policy. Nothing changed.
Ben
Nothing's changed.
CJ
No.
Ben
You know, rest in peace, Duke. He's the first dog to actually make a difference. But since then, the others have just been laying around.
Ken
Khaleesi's been nowhere to be seen.
Ben
Yeah.
Ken
In town at all.
Ben
So I need a mini Highland cow in there.
CJ
I like that. I like that a lot, actually. And then I don't want to say it.
Ben
Saturday, August 15th.
Siege
Ken will start being like, oh, my son. My son.
Ben
Voting will open August 1st. Candidates nominations will be accepted from July 1st to August 1st. So we have time.
CJ
Like any good lobbyist, Ken, Any good shitty stepdad.
Siege
You come back once the kid starts being successful.
CJ
Yep.
Ben
We got to get our Highland cow in there.
CJ
I love that. That's a great idea. Cj.
Ben
I'm gonna text Justin, see if we can get in this.
CJ
What's, like a good slogan that Bobby could run on? Remove the corruption. Oh, it's not bad.
Ben
That's not bad. They probably won't like that. They'll probably change the voting again because they're gonna be like, oh, gee, he's talking on us.
Ken
Dave's just gonna pay him off again.
Siege
And Politics with balls.
Ryan
No, this is the cow's slogan, not Ken's.
Evan
Yeah, I like that.
Ben
Bobby Jr. Is running for mayor.
Siege
Dude, mess with Bobby. You get the horns. He doesn't have any yet.
CJ
Everyone's like, okay, dude, Bobby's gonna. He would be such a good mayor.
Siege
He would.
CJ
A mini Highland cow.
Ben
Yeah. Everyone else is like, the dog's been done. Mini Highlander cow.
CJ
Yeah. I mean, the. The last dog that was elected clearly didn't get anything done. What was it, a two year?
Ben
So Bobby's classy. Bobby's classy.
Ken
Yeah. They do the mayor every two.
Siege
We'll get him a little cowboy hat.
CJ
Everyone can get a cowboy hat that votes for him.
Siege
Whole town has to wear a cowboy hat.
CJ
Holy crap.
Ben
People would love it, too. They'd love it. Having them just roaming around, grazing on the grass.
Siege
And then CJ could spend every weekend for the next two years taking them out to parade, showing them off, doing all the things you have to do as a man.
CJ
Oh, yeah, because Dave Sherbrooke's doing that with his dog, and that's why it's such a flop. Well, Ryan, luckily we have a YouTube channel that we can not have to do the in person thing.
Siege
Oh, we're just. We're an Internet politician now.
CJ
Like Bobby jr. They go to X.
Ben
He stays in town.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
Trying to be some celebrity. He's just. He stays in town and gets stuff done. Holds it down. Holds it down.
CJ
And he's a local. Yeah, he lives in town, bro.
Ken
It's not something.
Ben
Dude's lived here, like, half his life already.
CJ
Yeah, actually pretty much born and raised with a little asterisk.
Ben
But, yeah, I think we got. I already texted Justin.
CJ
Yeah, we'll get. We'll get going on it.
Ryan
As long as Waffles isn't in the race, Bobby has my vote.
CJ
I'll tell you what, Waffles will not be in the race because that dude is going to be wandering off somewhere.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
He's not going to be anywhere. Anywhere close to corn rot. And if he is, he'll be hopping in some random stranger's car and getting a ride three hours away to get a ride back.
Ben
And then they're gonna have him on some lost dog form. Dude, I'm on Facebook the other day and in the Cormorant Lake Community Associate, Whatever page I see found this dog on the side of Highway 11. He seems lost and thirsty and very dirty. Does anyone know their owner? And then I comment. I'm like, yeah, you guys picked him up, like, literally Right in his front yard because he just rolled around. I'm like, this is his house right here.
Ryan
And then he assumes the worst, knows what he's doing. He's living the best life of a dog.
Ben
People are like, commenting, like. Like, wow, that poor dog. Like, I feel bad for him. Where's his owners? I'm like, I was so close to being like, no, he has the literal best life compared to any other dog. He gets to roll around, do what he wants, hunt, see people all day long. If he's thirsty, he goes and drinks out of the lake or a pond or whatever the hell. And obviously he's still getting fed and it goes home things at home. But, like, he's managed to walk around and not get hurt for.
Ken
He's almost gotten hurt quite a bit.
Ben
Yeah, but he hasn't, knock on wood. And that's a way better life for a dog than just sitting in a kennel all day, in my opinion.
Siege
100.
Ben
Yeah.
Siege
GPS dog collar on, like, they know where he is.
CJ
You know what's funny is I was on my way here to the pod, and in between the shop and Waffles house, there was a truck pulled over on the side of the road.
Ben
Oh, a lost dog.
CJ
And I was like, here we go. And I pulled up, and it was this lady that was, like, sitting there. And she got out, and Waffles is sitting there on them on the road. And so I pull up next to her, and she's like, do you know whose dog this is? I was like, yeah, this is Waffles. Go home, Waffles. And he, like, looks up at me, and then he looks up at her, and the door is open to the truck. Because she was like, gonna. And he. I just go, well, if you want, you can just bring him home. His house is right there. And she's like, like, pointing over there. I'm like, just get him close to it and just let him out. And he'll probably not go home. He'll probably just come back this way. But she was like, okay, well, I might need help getting him in in my truck. And I was like, I don't think you will. The door is open, and I just go, hop in. Waffles jumped in, and he's just covered.
Ben
Exactly. That's what makes it funny. All these people will come across them, and they're like, oh, my gosh, a lost dog. We need to. Which they're trying to do the right thing, but then they get Waffles dirty ass in this car. He was literally covered in Wet mud. He just came out of the swamp and then they throw him in their car just to find out he was literally in his yard.
CJ
Pretty much, yeah. He was just on his way home.
Ryan
You never see him happier, though. He'll go for a swim in the pond, just covered in mud and just smiling tongue out. Like, just happier in hell. He loves it.
CJ
But Waffles is. Is white. Is white as his table. And I. I don't think we've ever seen him. We don't have anything dirty enough around here, dude. Maybe. Maybe this chair on a good day.
Ben
Yeah, dude, Waffles is like kind of a once in a lifetime dog. Like, it reminds me of Earl, the neighbor's dog that married Tina, my family's dog, Tina. This was a long time ago, like 2019.
CJ
It's in a YouTube video at the wedding.
Ben
But, yeah, we were at the. We made a video, actually got married. But Earl was the same way. He would roll around and he just took care of himself, you know? Like, you didn't really know if he was coming home that night or whatever. Like, he just did what he wanted and lived till he was like frickin 13. But yeah, don't know. Like, those are like, you can't really. It's kind of like Doug, you just either get lucky having that as your dog, or you kind of get a little shit.
CJ
Just the ultimate good boy.
Ben
Like, a dog like that walks itself probably picks up its own poop. Like, just rare.
CJ
So our friend Jake's dad, Dave. Dave Sherbrooke. If you've been watching the channel, you know Dave, he turned 60 this week, and instead of throwing him a birthday party, he wanted to have a wake. As in a funeral. He wanted to have a funeral for himself.
Evan
So he could see it.
CJ
Yeah, so he could see it and what people would say about funeral. So instead of his birthday party, they all got together together for Dave's wake. And he came in in a casket, dude.
Ben
He had little signs out on the road, like, dave's wake. And it had like, the date. So people start texting Jake, like, hey, sorry to hear about your dad. Like, because everyone just assumed he was dead.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
You know, naturally you would. Yeah. But they're just faking their death. I just thought that was funny.
CJ
Did anybody hear anything about it? Well, I didn't hear how it went. Besides for the fact that he was hotter than hell coming in in the casket.
Ben
Yeah, I'm sure he was. It was out. We. We would have been there, but we were on my bachelor party, which you Guys will hear about next week. But just funny. It was kind of like a roast. From my understanding, Jake gave the eulogy.
CJ
And, you know, Dave was sitting there. It was kind of. Yeah, like a roast. Like.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
You know, he was sitting there just dying, laughing. Just sitting there. Yeah.
Ben
Pretending like he's dead in his cat.
CJ
I'm so glad I'm a part of it.
Ryan
How?
Ben
Then he'd peek up, thanks for coming. Lay back down.
Evan
How long was he in the casket?
Ben
Those guys, I heard he got hot and then had to just get out.
CJ
Yeah. So they brought him in. In the casket. In on a skid steer, I think. Right. Like on forks in the casket. Because you know how many guys. Well, they've made that joke before he goes, he wants us to be his pallbearers so we can one of his things up for the last time. And that'd be his casket.
Ben
When we drop it, we'd end up crashing the casket. Yeah, but you guys would probably crash the casket. That's the funniest line I've ever heard. He's so funny.
CJ
Dude, that is funny.
Ben
So, Spain, what do you think about your new car?
Evan
Oh, dude, I'm loving it. Yeah, dude, you loving it.
Ben
Proper rolling around town yesterday when you just rolled by me and you just had your arm kind of hanging out, like, dude, people are legit breaking their necks to turn around and watch you.
Evan
That's so cool.
CJ
Because it's cool. Well, I think they see you go
Ben
by, they're like this, like, literally watch the thing. Like, you'd have thought, like, the coolest Lamborghini you've ever seen drove by, but you better looks than that.
Evan
Better.
CJ
Yeah. I think most people are. Are thinking, man, this town's sure going.
Ben
Keep an eye on him. What is this guy doing? Is he scouting out? He's gonna rob us later tonight.
CJ
We said you should go and just cruise Ken's beach back and forth and just be, like, looking in people's garages.
Ben
Now what are these guys doing it? That's my friend. Spending just doing laps.
Evan
Ken's gotta explain.
Ben
Is it going?
Evan
No, it's been. It's been epic, man. It's been a good journey. It's a good daily. It's a really good daily, dude.
Ben
You know what I thought was kind of funny is so I, like, was reading through the AI will, like, generate, like, spark notes of the comments on the YouTube video. But, like, one of the frequently mentioned things was, like, people are excited about the new low rider and happy for you to join the community. They also state that you shouldn't be using the hydraulics while in gear as it can, you know. But it was just funny. I was like, damn, Even we have a portion of our audience actually is about the lowrider life, which is. I can tell why you would be. It's freaking sick. But, like, they're just like, oh, dude, finally you got a lowrider. Like, so you guys need to, like this, that and the other, like, it's just cool. It's just cool.
CJ
So you're not supposed to use it while driving.
Evan
That's what I've been hearing.
Ben
What I've been hearing after. It makes sense being that we broke.
CJ
Yeah, the shit makes a quick lot of sense. I was like, damn, this thing kind of burnt out quick. Which we will get fixed. We will get fixed. It's on the list of things to get fixed.
Siege
Pretty low on it, but it's there.
CJ
No, we have to, though. It's first priority. Don't worry.
Ben
We got to get your hydraulics back.
CJ
It's such a waste to have that thing sitting in the parking lot, not bouncing up and down.
Evan
Yeah, that thing should be out front of Zorba is just freaking going six feet in there.
CJ
And we are getting the. The Helmino fixed right now too. We got that dropped off. It's getting new lifters put in it, so.
Evan
Dude, I can't wait to cruise the streets with Ev.
Ben
Dude, how you guys.
CJ
Awesome lineup.
Ryan
I know.
Evan
I can't wait to cruise to Zorbas with the freaking. The green bastard and the hell Camino.
CJ
Oh, it's gonna be so legendary, dude. Yeah, People are just straight up gonna be keeping their kids inside.
Evan
Yeah. They're gonna be locking their door, taking
Ben
their keys out of their vehicles.
Evan
Yeah. Locking their doors and it.
CJ
Yeah, yeah. They are putting locks on their gas
Evan
caps, keeping the windows.
CJ
Steal their fuel.
Ryan
I gotta run that race fuel, baby.
Ben
Do you only run something now?
Ryan
Yeah, that's why it's so fast.
Ben
It's got a hot tune.
Ryan
No.
Ben
Did it actually have a hot tune?
Ryan
Yeah.
Ben
I didn't know that. So that's why you beat all the other.
Ryan
Well, no, I don't know what the actual. I think if there's extra horsepower, but it's like on aviation field, it needs to run 100, but right now it's 50, 51, 10, and 90.
Evan
Why?
Ben
Why? Why not just run.
Evan
How come mine can't?
Ryan
Because we had race car.
Evan
How come he got that?
Ben
Oh, Scott.
Ken
Scott told me. Is he running a race field? And I was like, I don't think so. I think it's 91.
CJ
That makes a lot more sense. I heard that, too. I was like, no, he's not running race.
Ben
Yeah. Why would we do that? That would be, like, just makes it more difficult. Like, why not just be able to fill it up with pump gas and drive it?
Ryan
Apparently, the guys that tuned it said this. That this is the way to make it run good and stay cool.
Ben
Well, yeah, definitely.
Ryan
They run cooler.
Ben
Stay cooler. Yeah. You could have done E85 when you.
Ryan
Realistically, for the amount of miles you put on it, like, yeah, kind of sort of worth it. It's way better than ethanol, which. Yeah, goes bad. Big pain.
Ben
It does go bad, but it is more accessible is the only thing. So if you're frequently driving the car, E85 is the way to go.
Ken
But I would say E85 has become rather tough to get, though, because it's like, where is there a gas station around here?
Ben
There's like, what about race fuel?
CJ
K.E.
Ryan
well, I can run a couple reliable aviation fields. You just go to the airport, and it's only. I don't even think it's six bucks a gallon, which isn't that crazy compared.
Ben
I mean, it's like four. Yeah. For 91 right now.
Ken
Yeah.
Siege
That's actually not as bad as I thought.
Ryan
And, like, if it was 110, you'd be paying 13 or something.
Siege
And I think you can. If you put that in a sealed container, it actually stores. Correct.
Evan
It's got to be in a metal.
Siege
Yeah, like a metal. Like a.
Evan
It can't be in a plastic jug.
Ryan
And they did say, like, you could run 91 in it. It. It'd be fine. Just like, if you're gonna get. After it get spicy.
Siege
Run, run good fuel, which you will be every time.
CJ
What if you got one of those little gas tanks for your truck bed?
Ryan
I might.
CJ
Wheelie could be dual use then. So spending have you been getting. You've been getting some messages, I saw.
Evan
Yeah. Dude, people are stoked that to know that I'm, you know, not for a fully white guy.
Ben
Oh, I'm sure they're stoked.
Evan
Yeah. And honestly, there's a lot of fans from the island where my mom's from, like, dming me, which is like, a Caribbean island.
Siege
That's really cool.
Evan
It's called. It's called Trinidad and Tobago, so. And, like, dude, I've got people, like, they're commenting this flag. They're dming me the Trinidad flag. Like, that's. People are actually stoked. Trinidadian I am half Trinidadian.
Ben
Yeah, you are, Absolutely.
Evan
I'm a churniman.
Siege
They say a Pretty Big island, one 1.5 million people for sure.
Ben
Then across the islands, it is actually amazing. Like, if you look at where people are watching the videos, it actually is
Ryan
all over the world.
Ben
Obviously they're more concentrated in certain areas, but, like, pretty much every place there's at least one person.
Evan
We gotta go to the island.
CJ
We have to.
Evan
We gotta go to the island and
Ben
then meet your family.
Evan
Dude.
CJ
What?
Ben
It's like freaking.
Evan
Eat some curry goat.
Ben
You've told us about. It sounds actually lit.
Evan
Eat some curry duck. Eat some curry goat.
Ben
You're saying they drink a lot of rum?
Evan
Oh, yeah, they. The punching rum. They love the punching rum. It's like 101 proof.
Ryan
How, like, far away is it? Like, how do you get there?
Siege
It's right by Venezuela.
Evan
It's far. Yeah, it's off the Port of Spain.
Ken
Just off of South America.
Evan
Yeah.
Ben
It was kind of like a coming out party for you there.
Evan
Yeah, dude. It was lit, everyone.
CJ
Because people have always asked, what are you?
Evan
People do ask what I am. Like, what are you? Why are you so dark? Why is your hair so curly? Are you Italian? Are you like Mexican? Mexican. And I'm like, no, I'm half black. I just really am.
CJ
And the only reason Spenny is as white as he is is because of his dad.
Evan
My dad, my mom is from a Caribbean island and my dad is the whitest guy ever.
CJ
Glenny is.
Evan
He is the whitest guy.
Ryan
Yeah.
Evan
Literally borderline albino. And he's got red hair. So, like, my cousins are darker than I am.
CJ
And your brother?
Evan
My brother's darker than I am too. It is funny.
CJ
I'm a hard one to sell.
Evan
I'm half. I'm half Caribbean.
Ben
Yeah, that's the truth. But I'd love to go and see,
Evan
check the island out.
Ben
Oh, that was so much fun.
Evan
It's crazy there.
Ben
I'm sure it is.
Evan
It's crazy.
Ben
Bikes there and stuff. Obviously.
Evan
I think I went when I was like 14, so I didn't ride dirt bikes, but they got like scooters and stuff and they gotta have dirt bikes, so. Yeah, and there's like just. There's like Rasta guys everywhere too, that are just cruising around, which are pretty funny to talk to. So.
CJ
Is that by Jamaica?
Siege
Venezuela. Venezuela, right off the coast of Venezuela.
Ken
Jamaica's further north.
Ben
Is it dangerous there at all or.
Evan
No, it's pretty. It's a third world country, so, yeah, it's Pretty dangerous.
Siege
What's a second world country? I feel like you only really talk
CJ
about first world and like Canada probably.
Evan
I don't actually know.
Ben
Oh, Canada's first.
Evan
I don't actually know.
Ken
There's like a team countries and there's like the B team countries and then there's the.
Evan
The sea team due to island rip would be freaking epic.
Siege
I bet you anything like Key west, but way better.
Ben
Probably I'll just ride a dirt bike around.
Evan
Oh yeah, you can literally just ride on the street.
CJ
Like you can be pretty sick.
Evan
There's just like fireworks stands everywhere and you can just buy fireworks and just light them off in the day, light them off at night. Like light them off right in the parking lot. Literally. Yeah, literally anywhere in the middle of the street, wherever the hell you want, you can just run. What? You can do pretty much anything you want, I think.
Ryan
So how many work thing in North Dakota, bro?
Ben
How many?
Siege
That sounds fun.
Ben
Aunts and uncles do you have there?
Evan
So my mom's got 12 brothers and sisters and I think there's four of them in Canada, so the rest is there. So there's like maybe nine.
Ben
So how did four of them end up in Canada?
Evan
So when my mom was young, both of her parents passed away. They ended up just shipping four or five of the sisters to Canada to go get schooling and get jobs and stuff. And so she was just one of the ones that got chosen by the family to go.
Ryan
Wow.
Evan
Yeah. And so she went to Canada, like the youngest. I don't think it was youngest, but she went to Canada when she was like 16 or 17 or something with nothing. She had never gone to another country in her life.
Ben
All by herself.
Evan
All by herself. Just her and her sisters jumped on a plane and freaking went Canada.
Ben
Like why'd they choose Canada? Is there like a problem?
Evan
It's just easy to migrate into, I think, I think is that's why. But it's just safe and.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
Did she speak English?
Evan
Yeah.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
Your mom's sharp though. Like she. You can just tell when you're talking to her. Like she's. She's sharp, like. Yeah, very smart. So it makes sense that.
Evan
But yeah, they came here with like no money and just went to school and freaking just climbed their ways up.
Ben
And what do you do when you show up as a 16 year old with no money to a country? I don't know, no guidance, like just
Evan
freaking go to school and get a job.
CJ
Yeah. So she would have been in what, high school?
Evan
Yeah, I think so. High school.
Ryan
Wow. This is probably a dumb question, but, like, what's. Is there, like, a native language? Like what?
Evan
I think it's Spanish, but I can't remember. But it's also. They speak, like, broken English there. Like, it's hard to understand people sometimes. Like, they're speaking English, but you can't understand them. Yeah, it's. It's.
Ryan
It's actually south.
Evan
Yeah. It's like yourself.
Ben
Yeah. You think you're. Do your, like, uncles or in them watch?
Evan
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ben
Actually.
Evan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ben
Dude, they're probably like.
Evan
Dude, they're hyped.
Ryan
Oh.
Evan
I mean, they've.
Siege
They've.
Evan
They've kind of like, followed my racing career. And they like dirt bikes and. And they like. Some of them have, like. I think one of my cousins had, like, a scooter and was, like, wheeling it and stuff.
Ben
That's cool.
Evan
So, like, they like it for sure. And then one of my uncles is a huge fisherman. His name is Uncle. Uncle Sipa. And he, like, is a big fisherman. So he. He's watching for sure. I think he watched the fishing episode and. And he's. He's like into the bikes and stuff. And they're into it for sure.
CJ
Yeah.
Evan
We gotta pull up, dude. It'd be so funny.
CJ
You gotta have a ton of cousins.
Evan
Yeah, I got a lot of cousins.
Ben
We'd probably have to bring your mom with.
Evan
Oh, dude, my mom would.
Ad Read Voice
If we.
Evan
If I was going, she would go 100 because she's always looking through.
Ben
Obviously, he's got to come with.
Evan
Well, he kind of sticks out. He's too white down there, man.
Ben
He's too white to your dad.
Evan
No, he is.
Ryan
He is.
Evan
Dude, he's too white. Last time we were down there.
Ben
You can't come here.
Evan
He's too white.
Ben
So what if he's. What do they do?
Evan
Last time we were down there, dude, we were outside this, like, this gas station and there's this, like, Rasta man who had, like, big dreadlocks and, like, you know, pretty Bob Marleyed out. And they, like, see my dad and they, like, got to him and he's like, hey, man, you're a white boy, man. You need to get a little bit of some boy. And they're just, like, ripping on him for being white.
CJ
He's like, oh, I burn. Yeah, burn.
Evan
Yeah, it's pretty funny, dude. They, like, they love. They're always razzing my. When we went down with my dad, they're razzing them so hard because he is literally the whitest guy everywhere we go. He's the whitest guy we go in the room. Literally.
Ben
Go to Canada, anywhere. He'd probably be the whitest. Yeah, but, dude.
Evan
Yeah, they love. They love us down there.
CJ
Your mom had. You have had. Met your dad and be like, they don't make them like you back home.
Evan
Yeah, no, it's funny. But, dude, that's pretty epic. Like, my uncles will, like, they'll, like, climb trees and grab coconuts, and they'll grab a huge machete and they'll hold it in their hand and they'll buck the top off a coconut, and they'd be like, here you go. And you drink it, the coconut. And they'll, you know, playing cricket on the beach. And, like, they love. They drink a lot of rum. They drink a lot.
Ben
So what are they pouring it in the coconuts?
Evan
I think they're just drinking it right
CJ
out of the bottle now.
Siege
You kind of got me pretty damn good. Delicious.
Ben
You were kind of on a rum, rum, rum kick for a little while. Isn't rum, like, extra sweet, though? Yeah, like, pretty sugary. So it's gonna give you a kind of a worse hangover versus. No, I mean vodka or tequila.
Ryan
Yeah, I like spice Drum, but I know there's, like, different kinds of rum. I don't. I don't really know how it works. I don't even know where it comes from. What. What makes rum do you know?
Evan
Dude, they eat kind of crazy. I don't know what they. I don't know what makes room. Cow tongue.
Ben
And, like, sounds like the liver king.
Evan
Yeah. Literally, like, my mama. My mom is, like, always. She's like, oh, I could go for some curry cow tongue.
CJ
Really?
Evan
Yeah. Or like, curry goat.
Ben
Have you ever seen those little babies?
Evan
It's gnarly.
Ben
It'll be like a little kid, like a baby. He'd sit in his high chair and it'll show like a mom, and she'll, like, literally give it a cow tongue or like a liver, like. And it looks. Yeah, it looks so good. Or like an octopus.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
And the. The little kid just. Just eats it up. Loves it. Absolutely loves it. And apparently there's a lot of nutrition and whatever in it. It's a very raw. It's crazy. I don't know the name, but I.
Evan
I think my mom would eat, like, everything back in the day, like, food. Chicken, goat. Like, like, she said that there'd be days where they'd go into the back frick. Chop the head off a goat and cook it up and eat it.
Siege
Cook up a little goat yeah, literally,
Evan
like, they just do big cookouts. They're all about, like, doing big cookouts and just slamming rum. You ever heard, like, those, like, don't know what they're called, but it's like a drum, and they're in like. Like asap. Rocky has them in some songs. It's like the steel drums. The steel drums. Yeah, they got those and they freaking play those and. And, dude, it's. It's a sick spot. It actually is cool. It's cool.
Siege
I want to go.
Evan
Yeah, we should. We gotta go. It'd be insane.
Ken
Rum is made from sugar cane byproducts.
Evan
Oh, sugar cane. That's right. Because my mom used to have to go and harvest sugar cane. Like, she would go out with a machete and chop it all down in a cow tongue.
Ben
They peel it. This is, like, a guy reacting, but this is a little kid, and look at it, how stoked he is. It looks disgusting. It's almost. It's almost gnarly giving it to him.
Ryan
But obviously it's like a johnson.
Ben
Yeah, I know, but she cuts it up.
Siege
Oh, so gnarly is really not right.
Evan
Oh, it's so gnarly.
Ben
I think she cooks it. So she cooks it up, but look at the kid. Just dig in.
Siege
Yeah, he went right for the fruit first.
Evan
People are doing it, though.
Ben
It's not that crazy. People are doing, like, a lobster and. But it's just like a whole food diet.
Ryan
It's just the mental thing, like how. How you're not, like, used to it, but. But it's just like, I don't know, like, you know, a bunch of other parts of a cow, like. Yeah, it's just normal. And so it's like, yeah, it is.
Siege
Kid's a good eater.
Ryan
Mental thing.
Evan
Yeah, it's normal. Like in Trinidad, if you, like, don't try it. They're like, come on, man.
CJ
You're not gonna drink it, man.
Evan
You're not gonna eat the cow tongue. And I'm like, dude, I don't know if I can eat that. Like, it's gnarly.
Ben
My cousins, they feed their kids, like, liver.
Evan
I don't think liver's that crazy.
CJ
Yeah.
Evan
When I was in Japan, I think I ate, like, heart. Cow heart, cow intestines, cow liver. And honestly, it's pretty gas. The best one was the intestines. Like, I ate it. And he's like, what do you think you just ate? And I was like, I don't know, like a shoulder or something. He's like, that was intestines. I was. Dude, that was the best steak I've ever had. It was so buttery. Dude, it was so buttery and, like, actually tasted good.
Siege
What a crazy content plan this guy's got.
CJ
That.
Siege
Oh.
CJ
What?
Ben
Yeah, this looks good.
Siege
To be fair, he's eating lobster for
Ben
lunch, but, yeah, they feed him just crazy stuff.
CJ
This is what Jen fed Dalton as
Ben
a kid, and Dalton's a beast.
Ryan
Dude, we should have Jen make us, like, some cow tongue and liver. And someday I would, too.
Ken
She just wouldn't tell us till after we're done with it.
CJ
What a crazy niche.
Ben
Pretty cool. So when you say the cow tongue, I'm sure they're onto something, dude.
Evan
Oh, yeah, no, for sure.
CJ
You know, there is a Taylor was telling me that Bobby and drywall, once they're over there, like, bottle feeding stage, obviously. Hey. But he was like, every once in a while, like, you guys could probably, like, just feed them whatever. Like, they could eat whatever.
Ryan
Yeah.
CJ
Pop Tart or something. But that could be. That could be. We bring Bobby a fricking crab leg,
Ben
and we got to feed them good food.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
Not Pop Tarts, but yeah.

CJ
had that bond yet.
Evan
But once you share a bag of Cheetos.
CJ
A bag of Cheetos, Polish it off,
Evan
roll around in the hay, and share a bag of Cheetos.
Ben
But, yeah, pretty cool.
CJ
Okay, well, I like that idea. I mean, I think we got some work to do with Bobby's campaign.
Ben
Got a lot going on. We gotta go to the Caribbean.
CJ
Yeah, we gotta go to the Caribbean. We got to get our. Our mini Highlander cow elected as mayor of our town.
Ben
Evan's got to go put out a wildfire.

Aiden's got to build that little hoonicorn.

Yeah, we gotta. He's gonna be hyped for that. He's gonna be big, big stoked for that.
Siege
We do have something to look forward to, though, in our old age. You guys see the new law that was passed in Minnesota?
Ryan
The nursing home drinking one?
Evan
Yes.
Ben
That was like.
Ryan
I thought we talked about that. That was months ago.
CJ
I don't remember.
Ken
I don't remember talking.
Siege
No. I don't know if we did.
Ryan
Well, comment down below. If we talk.
CJ
We talked about the nursing home, like STD problem.
Siege
Yeah. That everyone was in them.
Ben
So what. What's that. What's the deal with this drinking thing?
Siege
Minnesota just passed a new law that allows nursing homes to serve alcohol without a liquor license, which previously they weren't allowed to, meaning the old people couldn't drink unless they, like, brought their own bottle from the thing, but they, like, couldn't openly serve it.
CJ
So they were throwing, like, keggers in their rooms, like college dorm style.
Siege
Yeah, yeah, it was like. But they had to hide it from the ras. And.
CJ
But you could.
Evan
That's.
CJ
Couldn't drink. I don't know. You can.
Siege
You can't. They, like. It wasn't. There was no bar you could go to in your nursing home. Like, if you wanted to go somewhere and someone just mixes you a fucking drink or pours you a glass of wine, you couldn't have it happen.
CJ
Okay.
Siege
And now they can.
CJ
So is there, like, bars popping up in these things or what?
Siege
I guess. I don't know. It just was passed. But yeah, I mean, I could see them opening. I could see them turning, like, the physical therapy room into a bar probably.
CJ
Yeah.
Evan
Yeah.
CJ
Let's get rid of the weight room.
Ken
Just add a bar to the.
Siege
The card room, Take out the library, put in a bar.
Ryan
Bingo is going to be so much more lit now.
Siege
That's what I'm saying, dude. Imagine, you know, when you do those little nursing home tours when you're in, like, elementary school or middle school. You guys ever have to do that?
Evan
No.
Siege
They never took you into a nursing home and you had to, like, play cards with them or whatever?
CJ
No.
Siege
Mike is saying yes.
CJ
Really?
Evan
Many times.
CJ
Had to go in and play cards with them.
Evan
Yeah. Hang out with them.
CJ
Interesting. Yeah, no, they weren't doing that at my school.
Siege
Yeah, we would go in and we taught them about Farmville once.
Evan
Farmville used to rip.
Siege
We got them hooked on the farm bill.
Ben
You got. You came. You went into a nursing Home and
Siege
got him hooked on farmville. Yeah, I mean, I was sixth grade.
CJ
I wouldn't mind firing farmville back up. I wonder how my farm exactly is probably terrible. I know. I gotta check in on it.
Siege
It's kind of like those games you play where, like, you gotta keep checking in on them. But like this one, you grow a farm, it's like clash of clans with no battle.
CJ
But you had to go back and harvest your crop.
Siege
We love farming.
Evan
Dude, farmville was so fun.
CJ
Oh, it was so fun.
Evan
I miss it.
CJ
It was kind of like tiny tower. Remember that? Where you'd, like, have to, like, grow a business or, you know, like, tend to it. But, oh, farmville was lit. That was my first taste of, like, social media addiction because it's on Facebook. So you go in, check it out, check the farm, Next thing you know, you're scrolling, boom, they got you.
Siege
It's a good point, actually. They gotta put games on Instagram. Surprised they don't have anything like that. Go back.
CJ
They don't need to do anything.
Evan
The game is seeing how many reels you can scroll through in an hour.
CJ
Yeah. Literally, that is the game.
Siege
Life's all about just finding.
Evan
Ken's really good at it.
CJ
Yeah, Ken can consume his reels faster than most.
Evan
How many reels are you going through in a minute?
Ken
Oh, at least 69.
Siege
They should have a real counter.
CJ
Like, a real counter.
Siege
Reels you've watched in a day.
CJ
Yeah.
Siege
How many hours of reels do you think you scroll a day?
Ken
Maybe cumulatively an hour.
Ben
I don't know if Ken's a big. Necessarily Instagram.
Siege
You're right, actually.
Ben
He's scrolling all day long, but he's not really on Instagram.
CJ
He's not consuming the same things we are.
Ben
He doesn't really care about that. He's not on Tick Tock. He's not doing that kind of stuff.
Siege
There's always a lot of words on your screen.
Ben
Yeah, he's normally, like, reading information.
Ken
I'm looking at a million different things. Looking at some stuff on Facebook, look at some stuff on Instagram, booking flights.
Ben
The way he said that. Just imagine he's saying as he's bragging. I'm looking at, like, a million different things.
Evan
Looking at way more things than you guys. Way more. Way more different things.
Ben
Like, I can't even. I have so many things going on I can't even explain to you.
CJ
I think about just locking myself out of, like, Tick Tock and Instagram for at least, like, two days.
Ken
Just delete it.
CJ
I'M not sure if you know this, Ken, but like our business is kind of like ran off of it, so.
Ken
Tick tock.
CJ
Yeah, TikTok, I'm less worried about. But yeah, I don't know, I just need a good detox. I just heard that in a podcast too, actually. The guy that's trying to live forever, Brian Johnson, he was saying that. You guys see that? Brian Johnson, the guy that's legit trying
Ken
to live forever, doesn't have like some health condition.
CJ
He's got an autoimmune disease.
Ken
Yeah.
CJ
Some kind of like stomach. Stomach disease.
Evan
That's what I got.
Ryan
Say like his stomach's eating itself or something. Wasn't that like the headline?
CJ
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
Ben
But so what's he gonna do about it? Like try some new. Well, overturn it.
Siege
Yeah.
CJ
And I mean, like, you know, you know, you know how unhealthy people are. You know how many people have stuff like that that are gonna like, get it and it's gonna take over their life and they're gonna die way sooner. Where he looks at it like, okay, I'm trying to not die. I have this autoimmune disease. I can't get rid of it. It's incurable. But how much longer am I able to live, like a good life?
Ben
I'm sure he'll be able to combat it.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
Some way by doing some step settlement. Alleviate it to a degree.
CJ
And he, he was, he was saying, like, I've always joked that I'm trying to live forever and I'm probably gonna get hit by a bus.
Siege
I was wondering about that. You think he's like a tweaker in a car? Like if he's not driving a car, like, come on, man, I've been probably too healthy.
Ben
I want to keep his like stress and cortisol down so he's like not letting himself be stressed about anything.
Ryan
How old is this guy at this point?
CJ
He's like 45, 42 maybe.
Evan
That's what I do.
CJ
But he's got, he's got that like his. All the organs in his body were tested and I think he's like averaged out to like 20 year old.
Ken
Is this the same guy that was doing like blood transfusions with his sons?
CJ
With his 18 year old son? Yeah.
Ken
It's kind of up.
Ben
Okay, Is that up?
Siege
I mean, sucking the youth out of your child to live longer?
CJ
Yeah.
Evan
I don't know.
Siege
I'm gonna go with I don't know.
CJ
I mean, it's like people do like, no, his son was down like, like blood, like plasma.
Ben
If your dad Ryan was like, brian Johnson's not sick but. And I'm not.
Siege
Oh yeah, no, of course I would
Ben
do anything if it would potentially help him. You're obviously going to do that.
Siege
Of course.
Ryan
But it's different.
Siege
But if he just came to. If, if your dad came, you can go, hey bud, my kidney is only operating at like 75 efficiency right now. It's totally fine. I live forever with it. But could I have your kidney? So my body's just a little bit
Ken
healthier because your kidneys, Your kidney's only like 18.
Siege
No, I'm just saying like that's what it would be like. He's like, I'm 100% fine, but I just want a little bit of your youth. Just cuz I want to be even better. Like he didn't actually have a problem and need the, the blood of his
Ben
18 year old blood transfusion is not that big of a deal. Like people donate blood all the time.
Ryan
Yeah.
Ben
I mean you regenerate used for like something else. Yeah.
Ryan
A real reason. Yeah, it definitely was a luxury, a silly idea.
Siege
I mean. Yeah, no, I'm. I'm seeing what you're saying.
Ben
Mean, I don't know, I'm not, I'm not necessarily on either side, I guess I don't. I'm not like. No, I'm also not like that's.
Siege
I'm actually glad like because he has a few things he's posted about that have like been involved in my life and he's like researching them and I'm like, oh, this is good.
Ryan
Really?
Siege
Someone's gonna figure out some of these problems that haven't been solved yet. And so I think it's a good thing.
Ben
I don't really follow him. I just know who he is.
Siege
I see him on X whenever I open up. X every three months.
Ben
That's a toxic place.
Siege
That's a toxic.
Ben
You go to X. I still call it Twitter, but that's actually like bad for you. You talk about. You feel like you need a cleanse from whatever. Like if you're scrolling that that's bad. You're just consuming some of the worst stuff you could see.
CJ
Literally. It's insane.
Ben
It was like the Internet when you'd go on like a dark website back when you were like a kid, like your friend, you'd be at your friend's house like, oh, you haven't seen the horse or the video of the horse doing this to whatever. And you'd be like, what? And you'd pull it up and that was just.
CJ
Yeah, I don't really know too many people that use X. Like, neither on. On a daily basis. Like, that's what they check. Do you?
Ken
Every time I try and log in, I can't figure out my password. And the password reset doesn't work.
CJ
75. Like factor authentication things. He's got his so locked down, you can't even hit it.
Siege
I had the most surprising customer seated service experience yesterday. I've been trying to order us some stuff for a video off of Amazon, and I had to call because it was linked to my college email, which I haven't used in a long time. And all the resets would go to that, even though my phone number was attached to that. That one. So I couldn't make a new one because my phone number was connected to the old one. Pain in the ass. And it goes, call customer service for Amazon. For Amazon.
Ryan
They have, have.
CJ
They have.
Siege
They have a phone number.
CJ
Real people.
Siege
Yeah. And I went, me, this is gonna suck. I got the most well spoken, young, like, clearly young guy. It was the best customer service call I've ever had in my life, hands down.
Ad Read Voice
Wow.
Ben
They solve your problem.
Siege
10 minutes.
Ben
Wow.
Siege
He's on the phone. He's talking through it. It was the best customer service phone call I've ever had in my life. I was so impressed.
Ken
I told him that they're actually local too. They're in Grand Forks.
Ryan
Yeah.
Siege
No, he sounded like a kid from Grand Forks 100. I was like, dude, this guy sounds like he's my neighbor. He was so good. And he's like, oh, yep, okay. Awesome. Yeah, this was great. I got you. And I was like, dude, straight up, this was the best customer service I've ever had in my life.
CJ
Did you stay on the line and leave a review?
Siege
No, they didn't have an option for it. I would have given them five stars. I wanted to give him a tip. It was so good.
CJ
You know? You know what? You know what's crazy, Ryan?
Siege
Dead serious.
CJ
I saw a video one time of. Of Jeff Bezos talking on a panel. So, like, his big thing for Amazon is their customer experience, right? And so in a fantastic. In a board meeting, they were going over their customer experience wait time and. Or customer service wait time. And they were like, yeah, you know, we're still, like, flushing out the. The data that we have, but it looks like the wait times, like, around, like, like 45 seconds to get a representative. And he was like, well, let's check. And so they called and it was like a 10 minute wait time to get a representative. And so he was like, this is clearly still a problem. We need to like double down and make it an even better experience. Right. So like, they just like obsess over that. Which is wild that even at the scale, like the biggest company in the world, they can still have, you know, an actual human representative. Where I feel like, like most companies don't at this point.
Ben
Yeah. Whenever I have to use customer service, it always sucks when they're being too good. Okay, sir, well, I'm sorry that you're having that problem.
Evan
I hate that. Get right to it. It makes me more mad.
Ben
You don't need to like, say all this extra. Like, I get you're being nice, but like, let's cut this. Yeah, cut the 15 minute call down to seven for sure. You know, and then they're like, okay, sir, is there anything else I can help you with?
Siege
With?
Ben
No, no, that's all. And I'm like, trying not to be rude and hang up. Okay, well, thank you so much for calling today and using our service. We hope that you have a good day. I'm like, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, see you later. Thank you.
CJ
That'd be the shittiest job.
Evan
I just hang up on it.
CJ
Yelled at. Yeah.
Evan
I literally just hang up.
Ben
Help me solve my problem. So I'm not trying to be rude. Like, I'm also trying to be nice.
Evan
They're never gonna find you.
Ben
No, I'm sure they. Realistically, I'd probably be doing them a favor hanging up on them because they then don't have to finish their spiel.
Ken
They've got like a whole script. They got.
Ben
No, I know. Like, they're going through the screen.
Evan
I just up. I just hang up.
Ken
I'm always like, okay, problem solved. Thank you. And then just hang up.
Evan
Yeah, me too. I do the same thing.
Ken
Somebody like, oh, can you please fill out the survey? Blah, blah, blah.
Evan
And then don't forget, I've read us on Google. And yeah, the whole deal.
Siege
One of my buddies in college, his college job was doing customer service for a bank. And people would call in. He said, dude, the amount of wives that would call trying to figure out one of their husband's transactions. He said it was 75% of the job.
Evan
That, that's funny.
Siege
Wife or husband trying to figure out what the other one was doing.
CJ
Seriously?
Ben
Yeah, like, because they thought they were
Siege
sneaking around, sneaking money or, you know, they went on a trip and they spent money, like, something like that. Like it was. He said it was all husbands and wives calling to figure out what the other one was spending.
CJ
I mean, if that's not just total proof in, like, poor communication in a marriage.
Siege
He said a lot of times it was. He's like, you'd look it up and he would, like. Because they have to have access. Access. And so a lot of times they wouldn't. But he would have the two accounts and he would see them and he'd, like, look at the husbands or whatever. And it's like browsers or only fans or whatever, you know, like, they were spending money on things that Brad knew that they. The wife probably would. Was trying to figure out if he just broke.
Ben
Don't see anything here.
Siege
He honestly said he was like, I would try to bro out for the guy if he could, but he was like, if the lady had.
Evan
He knew the vibe. Yeah.
Siege
He knew if the man was in trouble.
Evan
It looks like he tried to buy a smoothie. It says a recurring subscription had.
CJ
Yeah. Looks like the restaurant is Braza.
Evan
Steakhouse.
CJ
Yeah,
Siege
must have been. Is. Is your husband hot? He's buying a lot of fans lately.
Ben
So, like, he would have to say the website.
CJ
Yeah.
Ben
What would they do?
Siege
I'm sure normally, I think pissed.
Ryan
Quick hang up.
Siege
He normally said they were like, all right, thank you. Because, like, they were. The suspicion was confirmed.
CJ
That's tough.
Evan
That is tough.
Siege
Turned it down.
CJ
I was younger then.
Siege
I was younger then. Since you've been seeing that. It's all over Instagram now. You were early on it, dude.
Ben
I turned.
CJ
I mean, it's never not funny.
Ben
It is. It's just so.
CJ
It's always funny.
Ryan
I just watched another video.
CJ
10.
Ben
15 million.
CJ
They offered you 15 million? Yeah, yeah.
Ben
Big college. Big college.
Ryan
See, he also, like, big capped on the fake jewelry.
CJ
Oh, wow. Who would have thought?
Evan
Dude, there's like.
Ryan
I think it was before the. That one, but he had, like, posted. I don't know if it was on live, but he's like, open up all these bags of jewelry, and they literally have, like, the price tags. And it, like, says what it is, whatever. The fake 79.99. But he's like, yeah, this is about a hundred thousand, like, going these rings. He goes through everything, and then people deep dove and just pull. That was like. Yeah, it was like 200.
CJ
There's, like, anything that guy says.
Evan
There's so many skits now about it. People are doing, like, cinematic edits of it and, like, like, funny skits of it. And there was one that was like, hey, hey, man, you got a second? Who are you and what do you
Ryan
do for a living?
Evan
He's like, ah. He's like, I'm. I'm a. I'm a college recruiter, actually.
Ken
For what school?
Evan
He's like, in Jacksonville. And then he's just like, oh, have you recruited anyone lately? He's like, I've been trying, man. He's like, I just offered a guy 15, 10 million, 5 million, something like that. They're like, did he take it? No, he turned it down. How long would it go to school for? He's like.
Ad Read Voice
Like.
Evan
Like this decade.
Ben
This decade or something? Yeah, dude. There's a thing called I turned it down daily, and they post it every day, which is hilarious. Every day I go to college. But I turned it down.
CJ
Oh, yeah.
Ben
I turned it down just to do this, just to grind from the rap.
Ryan
So you had an opportunity to do the driving thing.
Ben
Scholarship and everything.
Ken
Right?
Ben
I think it was, like, in Jacksonville. Yeah, a big. A big band in Jacksonville. It's a big college, though. And they offer me, like, 15. Some like, 10 million or something like that. Five million something. It's a pretty big discrepancy. A scholarship.
CJ
Okay.
Ben
But not $5 million pay for you.
Ad Read Voice
$5 million.
CJ
I'll play the.
Siege
Yeah.
Ben
Are we doing here? Like, one for y'?
CJ
All?
Ben
Like, you know what I'm saying? But I was so younger, like, I
Ken
didn't know what it was.
Ben
Are you sure they average you $5 million? I had to go to school for this decade, but you get 5 million. Yeah, it was somewhere. It was in the millions, though.
Siege
Dumb lie I've ever heard in my life.
CJ
Dude, we gotta buy one of those hats.
Evan
You see that?
CJ
They turned it down. Hats.
Evan
Turned it down.
Ben
I can't remember his name, but I found his actual Instagram, and he's like a kind of an underground rapper, and he's actually got a following. Like, there's people that listen to his music because. Because I commented one time, like, who is this guy? Like, where can I find him? And some, like, kind of or hood chick was like, of course you wouldn't know whitey. Like, wouldn't expect someone like you to know who this is. Like, that's how Glenn gets.
CJ
Glenn gets treated every day.
Evan
It is, dude.
Siege
Big boogie.
Ben
Big boogie. That's right.
Siege
1.4 million on Instagram.
Evan
Dude.
Ben
I kind of feel bad for him, but he did do it to himself.
CJ
Are you kidding me? This is the best thing that could have happened to that guy. Because Reputation.
Ben
Yeah.
CJ
He didn't completely drug through them. And you know, he doesn't have 1.4 million. Yeah, he bought that.
Ben
Like, watch, I'm gonna click this, click, click that picture and let's just see how he's got 10.8 thousand likes. He got 1.4 million followers, and he's
Siege
kind of popping even.
Ken
Then those likes are probably bought.
Siege
Yeah, 1600.
Ben
1600 likes. Like, bro, that's.
Siege
That Don.
Ben
That's how you. Damn, that's a nice ass car, bro.
Evan
I actually got some songs of his in my boogie.
Ben
Yeah, so you do listen.
Evan
I've listened. I've got a couple of his songs. I was just checking. I swear. I. I was wondering if it was the same guy. But yeah, he's not. He's not that bad at rapping.
Siege
I actually believe that he's.
Evan
He's actually got some heaters.
Siege
Dude, he turned down. He's got some heater million or something to rap. We better be good at it.
Evan
He's got some heaters.
Ben
We'll have to listen to his music. That's a badass 73 donk.
CJ
That's almost like a mix mix between Spenny's car and Ebbs.
Evan
That thing's sick.
Ben
Those are insane wheels.
Evan
I didn't know that that was the same guy, though.
Ben
Honestly. I like him. I think he's cool.
Evan
I like him.
Ben
I'm gonna listen to his music after this. I take back what I said. If he made good music music, my big be a legendary clip too. Like, that's one of the funniest clips of all time. Dude. I've been watching that. That clip is like two years old.
Ryan
It's. It's. There's a lot of clips like it for me, but yeah, when it pops up, I end up watching the whole damn thing.
