[47:39–54:35]

Transcript

[Ryan]

I feel like you're just gonna.

[Ben]

Your baby.

[CJ]

You think so?

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, and it's a pretty sweet car now.

[CJ]

I watched that on the thing. I was like, oh, wow. That's actually like, it looked like, you know, you kind of. When you see it rolling on there, you're like, damn, that's a fucking built car, you know? Yeah.

[Ryan]

I love looking at it. Even when it's in the garage, sometimes.

[Mike]

It takes someone else driving your car, your bike, your whatever to be like, oh, I do love that. That is cool. Yeah, I made it that cool.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Kind of feel that way too. When some other guy starts test driving your chick, you know, start wondering.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, man, I really shouldn't have given that up.

[Ben]

You got the jaw drop from Ken on that.

[Ryan]

I haven't had that problem, but, well, geez, Ken was alone.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

That is a good thing to have. You said it like you. You have had that problem.

[Ryan]

Well, eventually one. I mean, at some point I did in my life.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Who hasn't, though? Ben. Ben hasn't.

[Ben]

Yeah, no, I have.

[CJ]

Oh, never mind.

[Ben]

I have. That's how me and my ex girlfriend broke up.

[CJ]

Oh, someone else was test driving her.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah, he didn't even. He wasn't even selling the car. They were just getting test drives.

[Mike]

Oh, no.

[Ben]

Oh, damn.

[Ryan]

That might be too much to put this early.

[Ben]

All right, guys, welcome back to the podcast.

[Mike]

Great to be back. What? I mean, I'm just kind of curious. What number are we on? 80 is exciting.

[CJ]

It is.

[Mike]

That's kind of what I thought.

[CJ]

80.

[Ryan]

I was just looking back through my notes as I was know, refreshing myself on the subjects I'd written down. It was kind of fun scrolling back and seeing all the notes that we've had for other podcasts. And I go, man, I can't believe that was 30 podcasts ago.

[Mike]

Dang. So you kind of keep them? I. I delete them as I go. Otherwise it'll get jumbled up in my brain.

[CJ]

I. I try to do that. I have a long list of notes, though, that I need to probably go through and clean up.

[Mike]

But like, I mean, that happens to me. I. I chuck stuff in the notes, like kind of content ideas based, and I dumb it down so much that I go back to it later sometimes, and I'm like, what was I.

[Ben]

What was my idea?

[CJ]

Dude, I remember I go by my notes every day. I'm like, what do I need to do? Like, I have, like, things to get done. Like, I got this week's video. Like, every segment that We've completed the segments we need to complete, video ideas, money that's owed to me, stuff like that.

[Mike]

Yeah, your notes are very similar to mine.

[Ryan]

Have you ever thought about getting a notebook? Like just a good old fashioned little, little book that you write down? No, really? I kind of, I thought it'd be kind of like fun and nostalgic to.

[Mike]

Do, you know, I mean, I have one. I have like, to do lists that are tangible and then to do list on my phone. The ones that are tangible are fun, but you got to, like, take them with you sometimes.

[Ken]

That's true.

[Ben]

It's kind of like a piece of paper saying a planner.

[Ryan]

Really? A planner? Because a planner seems too OCD to me. Like, I'm just talking like a book with all your stuff, all your notes in it. You know, he's got pages of basically what CJ's got in his notes, but, you know, just different pages.

[CJ]

Seems unpractical. You just have it right here, dude.

[Ryan]

My dad never really carries a notebook and doesn't have. He doesn't use his phone like that. So he'll write on 2x4s. He works in construction, so, like in the back of his pickup, he'll have like full house plans, like, written on the back of a little chunk of 2x4 wood.

[CJ]

Really?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Randy also doesn't put anyone's names in his phone.

[Ryan]

No, he knows everybody's number. If he was here right now, I'd be like, hey, who's, you know, know the guy that works details your car? You'd be like, oh, yeah. No, this boom dude that is. Hasn't called him in months.

[Ben]

That's like, such a strange talent.

[Ryan]

He said he, it started when you didn't have, like, caller ID in your phone, and he had to know the electrician's number because he was calling him ten times a day. And he's like, yeah, I just built up a memory of phone numbers.

[Mike]

That's wild.

[Ryan]

But he knows. I guarantee he knows every single one of your phone numbers off the top of his head.

[CJ]

That's pretty cool. I don't, I don't even know anyone other than my mom's phone number.

[Ben]

I, I, I know my mom's and I know Micah's. Micah's is super easy, though.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I know Ken's. If, like, if I was ever in a situation where it was where you.

[Ben]

Needed to leak it on a billboard.

[Ryan]

Like, where I was like, I need to call someone, but I don't know who I would call. Ken.

[Ben]

Speaking of Ken.

[Ken]

And if I tried to call you. You would not answer.

[Ryan]

Actually, you know what? After you said that one time, I felt really bad, so I put you on my emergency list. So it rings no matter what. I figure if Ken's calling me, I should answer no matter what.

[Mike]

That's nice of you.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So times have changed. Times have changed because he used to.

[Ben]

Not Kendrick's. How was your weekend, big guy?

[CJ]

Oh, yeah, Tell us about this. So big. Ken went to Vegas this weekend just to catch everyone up.

[Ken]

I himself, I had the best weekend you can possibly have.

[Mike]

And keep in mind, we waited. Keep in mind we made him wait to tell us about how his experience was.

[Ben]

Until now, I'm not sure if I still want to know.

[CJ]

Well, he's gonna give us. He's gonna give us an abbreviated, watered down. Watered down, cleaned up version.

[Ken]

The safe for public consumption version.

[CJ]

Safe for even our ears. We won't even know the truth. Well, let's hear it, Ken. What? What all went down there?

[Ken]

So I went to Florida. Is this thing. You buy a Bronco, you can go to these different little sites across the country, and you can, like, take their Broncos off road. So I did the one in. In Vegas. You could rock all around the desert. Old boy scout camp. And. Oh, did that for an afternoon and then went back to the hotel, did a little gambling, came up ahead, won a jackpot on a slot machine. And.

[Ryan]

No. How much?

[Ken]

Two grand.

[CJ]

Two grand.

[Ken]

That was my first hand pay I've ever gotten from a slot machine.

[Mike]

Wow.

[CJ]

So you left at that point? Or did you keep gambling and blow it all away?

[Ryan]

Oh, no, no.

[Ken]

I, I, I got that hand pay. The dude gave me some cash, and he said, hey, you still got a little bit of money on the machine. He unlocked it again, and then I took that cash, cashed it out, left.

[CJ]

Smart man.

[Mike]

That was like, I'm up.

[Ken]

I won. I got to get out of here.

[Ben]

Have you taken notes over there? Yeah, you do have to win first. You got to win first.

[Mike]

I was.

[CJ]

I don't know.

[Mike]

I'm extremely satisfied that you said that. I was not expecting you to be like, yeah, I pulled out.

[Ben]

So then what, you went and spent it all at the strip club?

[Ken]

Not all of it.

[CJ]

Really? Did you go, Ken?

[Ken]

No, I didn't.

[Ryan]

You had a little shave for consumption. Yeah, this is a safer consumption. His mother's consumption video.

[CJ]

Ken's got no reason not to.

[Ken]

It was a great weekend in Vegas. I'll put it at that.

[Mike]

That's man.

[Ken]

In and out in under 36 hours.

[Ryan]

No kidding. You were driving back just in time. By the time everybody else was waking up on Saturday morning, still got a.

[Ken]

A nice lake day on Saturday.

[Ben]

So you hit and run on them.

[Ken]

Oh, that. That is honestly the best way to do Vegas, I think. Get in at like, 10 o'. Clock.

[CJ]

Just one.

[Ken]

Hit it hard for 36 hours. Fly out at 10. Or not 10, 9am in the next morning or Saturday morning.

[CJ]

I think we should do that.

[Ken]

Yeah, it's the best.

[Ben]

I'm down.

[Mike]

I'm glad you had a good. I. I opted out of it when Ken was like, my trip's gonna be boom, boom, boom. I'm like, well, I. I don't even like gambling that much, and I don't know if that's enough time.

[CJ]

You've been waving around in the hallways.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Peeing, pooping.

[CJ]

You never know.

[Ken]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I think Ram has one of those camp things. It's called Ram Ranch.

[CJ]

You going to that? I'm not sure if I'm going to go, though.

[Ken]

I don't think I'm going to go to that.

[Ben]

Ryan got invited to that by some random guy on Instagram.

[Mike]

Well, I was like, ryan, I think Ram Ranch gets a legit invite, but Ken got invited by a random guy plus one. But yeah, Ken, you said you had a lake day Saturday, and then I was out on the lake with you on Sunday. You had scratches all over your back, like, from hands. So I don't know.

[Ryan]

What.

[CJ]

I don't know.

[Ken]

I don't know where that came from.

[CJ]

But that's the part that you can't tell about.

[Ken]

I. I don't know.

[Mike]

I don't either.

[CJ]

Was there, actually.

[Mike]

Yeah. And then that. He gave the same answer then, too.

[Ryan]

I don't know.

[Ken]

I. I don't know where those came from. Well, they're gone now, so.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah, they're gone now.

[Ryan]

Ken, you are a legend. I love your mystery. Do we want to talk a little bit about our weekend? So we cover.

[Ken]

So you guys went to Disney when I went to Vegas. How was that?

[Mike]

We're going here.

[CJ]

That's why I can.

[Ryan]

Yeah, some people go to Vegas and.

[Ben]

Get all drunk cleaning up our acts.

[CJ]

Ken.

[Ken]

Some of us making money.

[Ben]

I. I would say it was definitely one of the most interesting weekends of my life. It was a great time. It was a great time, but, like, looking at it, reflecting back on it, and just taking the entire situation as a whole. It is so hard to explain to people.

[CJ]

It was so strange what we were.

[Ben]

Doing and who we were with.

[CJ]

It was only strange because it was like you look at the group, it was. So we had the CEO of Bugatti with us. Yeah. He flew all the way from Croatia. He's worth supposedly $2 billion. He was hangs out with Elon Musk.

[Ben]

Is dubbed the Croatian Elon Musk.

[CJ]

Yeah, he's like the next Elon Musk.

[Ryan]

He spoke in Dubai in front of 15,000 people the night before he came to Disney with us.

[CJ]

Yes. And he shows up and he's hanging out with our stupid ass.

[Mike]

And I think to add, I gotta add something that you told me that this is his second vacation since his honeymoon.

[CJ]

First.

[Ben]

First vacation. This guy doesn't take vacations.

[Mike]

To me, before you get into it.

[CJ]

Around a lot of intelligent people. And now he's at Disney World with us, just waltzing around, going on rides.

[Ben]

So not only us, but let me, let me paint the scene of the entire group here. So it's us, me, C.J. and Ryan. Our dumb asses.

[CJ]

Yep.

[Ben]

And then Steve Hamilton, who is the guy who invited us. We've done a podcast with Steve. He's the owner of Custom Offsets and Fitment, who we've been working with for a long time. Anyway, Steve is such a g. But the dude's basically just a grown up kid. He's just a grown up kid. And, and, and he's cool. Oh, he's the coolest dude. He's the coolest. So we got us Steve, who's a grown up kid. He's saying. That's what she said. He's making sex noises. And, and like just like basically being like a 14 year old with us, you know, we're just walking around. And then we got his kids who are just spitting images of Steve. They're. They're actually 12 year olds and 12 year old kids. And then we got Frankie Lapena, who is one of the biggest Tick tock stars. And he also has, he is known for his dumper. He's got just the fattest ass.

[CJ]

Huge ass.

[Ken]

So I gotta ask, is it real again?

[Ben]

You gotta see it in person, bro.

[CJ]

You got it, dude. I'm not kidding you. We got back from dinner on the first night, he was like, I gotta find the gym, I gotta get. And like he was, it was 10:30, we had to get up the next morning. He's like, oh, off to go find this gym at our hotel because he had to go hit the squats.

[Ken]

Good for him.

[CJ]

Yes.

[Ben]

So Frankie's got like billions of views. Billions of views on TikTok. Like he's a massive, massive TikToker but even the fact that if you didn't know that he wasn't a tiktoker, you would see this guy and just stop in your tracks and your jaw would drop. And that's exactly what happened to every single person we walk past at Disney. So either they knew most famous guy.

[CJ]

I've ever been around.

[Ben]

They either knew him from TikTok, or they were just in shock of what they were looking at because his ass and his hips are so big.

[Ryan]

Jim Kardashian, dude, that's what they called him.

[Ben]

So we would walk, like, five feet behind Frankie everywhere, and Frankie's getting stopped for pictures left and right. And then the people that weren't stopping him for pictures were just, like, in awe of. Of what they were looking at. And then one guy would goes, holy shit, you see Jim Kardashian back there? But it was. It was. It was pretty funny, like, walking behind him, because then you could see all the reactions on people's faces in just shock. So we got us, Steve, his kids, Frankie Lapena, the CEO of Bugatti, and then a couple of other Steve's friends who were like, kids just like all of us. It was the strangest collective of. Of people, and we're just mobbing around Disney for two straight days.

[CJ]

But everyone had fun. It was. At first, I was. I was scared to talk to Mate, the CEO of Bugatti, because I was like, I'm just so stupid. I don't want to waste his time. I'm not even going to open my mouth. I'm not going to waste his time at all. I'm just gonna smile, give him a nod, let him do his thing, you.

[Mike]

Know, spoke when spoken to.

[CJ]

Exactly. But, I mean, we started warming up towards, like, the second day. We were chatting, like, everyone was having a blast. Like, I mean, was it just. It was a great time. It was every single ride at Disney World because Steve has this fast pass because he's a part of Club 33. So we would just go ride a ride. Wouldn't even wait in line for more than five minutes, go to the next ride. Like, we wrote every single big ride at Disney World we hit in two days.

[Ben]

We hit Disney World in two days. And normally it takes, like, five to hit all the rides. And Steve has gone there, like, a thousand times. Literally everything. Literally a thousand times, and knows every single fact about Disney, knows every single ride, every secret tunnel, and in, like, knew his way around Disney like no one else there.

[CJ]

It's awesome, though, when you do it with him. When you do it with him, you're just rolling around, like, it's like you got the park to yourself almost.

[Mike]

And I don't think they really do fast passes anymore. So the fact that you guys were like, there's two and a half hours for the wait, or there's five minutes and you guys got to.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah.

[CJ]

Steve is like, I mean, part of.

[Ben]

The group, and there's only like 3,000 people in the world that have access to.

[Mike]

I was jealous. I've been there once and I was jealous, but it looked like a really good time. And I was checking the snaps and stuff, looking at the crew, and I was like, kind of from the outside, I was like, what is this?

[Ryan]

What is going on there?

[Mike]

That's. I'm seeing who we are.

[Ryan]

Yeah, we felt that way.

[Mike]

Yeah. That is pretty funny then.

[Ben]

Yeah. And we're just rolling around together for two straight days, and the only thing on the agenda was just to have a good time. Like, no one was filming. No one was, like, trying to make anything of it. Besides for just, like, Steve hosting us at Disney World and everyone telling you.

[Mike]

Everything he can possibly tell you.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it was such a lifestyle switch up. Because we typically hang around kids our age, which just puts us in different situations. I mean, like, the last night we played, what was it, Sharks and minnows or something like that. We played in the pool, like, just played in this one for, like two hours.

[CJ]

It was.

[Ryan]

It was a blast, man. It was. It was a good, like, wholesome life reset.

[Mike]

Definitely.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I want to be like Steve when I grow up. Me too. Like, I want, like, he's got all this money, super successful, can do whatever he wants, but he is so chill. He's not walking around with, like, flashy, expensive clothes on. Whatever else. He's just rolling around just, like, cracking jokes. He's not worried about what other people think about him. He's just, like, treating everyone kindly. It doesn't matter if you're the CEO of Bugatti or our dumb asses. He's nice to you or whoever else on the street. It was just like. It was nice. I think that is one thing I really took away from it, because even the. The CEO of Bugatti, who's. He's got tons and tons of money. He even was like. So, like, if you would have seen him or even met him and talked to him, you wouldn't have noticed. You wouldn't have thought, this guy is a billionaire.

[Ryan]

He was wearing a Batman shirt.

[CJ]

He was chilling. He was chilling.

[Ben]

He was also 33 years with everyone.

[CJ]

35. He would talk with everyone and he was just. It was, it was just cool to see basically the people at the top just. You wouldn't even have noticed that, how they were, you know, who they are because they act so normal and. Yeah, no chip on their shoulder and nice to everyone.

[Mike]

And it's got to be one of the. They're not stuck up, most positive aspects that you could possibly be as a human, you know, super successful.

[CJ]

Very admirable.

[Ben]

Yeah, man. If. If I took anything away from it, it's like these guys at the top are no different than anyone else that we, like, hang out in.

[CJ]

And they're just smarter and work a lot harder.

[Ben]

Yeah, smarter and work. Yeah. But like, at the end of the day, everyone laughs at, like, I guess the people that we hang out with and mesh with. We all laugh at the same jokes. You're all kind of degenerates. And. Yeah, I mean, it was, it was pretty wild that we were able to, like, sit at lunch or dinner for two straight days with that group and, like, have the conversations that we did. I don't know.

[CJ]

He was asking about YouTube. Obviously, Steve knows tons, but mate was asking about YouTube and.

[Ben]

Yeah, I mean, he was. I think anyone in that position that's that successful is probably a curious soul. And. And like, he, one, treated everyone the same, but two, was like, very interested in and what other people did and like our lifestyle. And I thought the craziest thing was, like, when he was saying that. So he found out that we are YouTubers and. And we, like, showed him our channel and he subscribed.

[CJ]

Yeah, subscribe.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah. And he was like, oh, my God, look at all these views. And that's me trying to do his accent. And he's like, whenever we come out with a car, I always try and push YouTube. YouTube, YouTube. Like, that's the biggest and the best form of media right now and marketing. And it was just wild to hear, like, somebody that successful, like, kind of praise what you're. That profession.

[CJ]

He knew.

[Ryan]

Yeah, he understood it for sure.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah, bro, it's like, it's hard to explain because you had to be there to, like, experience it. It's just such a strange situation at hand.

[CJ]

It wasn't uncomfortably strange. It was just like you couldn't believe what you were doing. Yeah.

[Ben]

Pop up this picture that I had Ryan take. It's me and him sitting in like a teacup playing a Toy story game wearing 3D glasses. Yeah.

[Ryan]

I drank beer with him in a Fake German city.

[Ben]

Yep.

[Ryan]

Like, it's really odd, but, yeah, I.

[Mike]

Would say, like, overall, you guys were in such a fun, cool environment.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Disney World with that crew. Like, it's so random.

[CJ]

Yeah. I'm incredibly, like, grateful for that opportunity just because I don't know, like, when else you would ever get that chance. And it was just cool to be in the presence of people like that. And I was trying to just take as much as I could in, you know?

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I thought also bothering them. I was not trying to, like, hassle them.

[Ben]

Right.

[CJ]

I. I was. Yeah. You know, ask him questions like, so what do you think about Lamborghinis? Stuff like that. He said they all right because the.

[Ryan]

Guy drives a Bugatti every day.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So. And also another question. This just flatter me. Did you guys get recognized at all?

[Ben]

Like, three times, I think maybe three times. It was compared to his 300.

[CJ]

We go to Disney World where it's like, the most people ever, and we were hardly getting stopped. And I was like, God damn. If any. If now's like, now's the time someone say, what's up to me, like, so I can look cool in front of these guys, you know, not like. Like hardly any. I mean, there was people and they were nice, but. Yeah.

[Mike]

And that does go a long way.

[CJ]

Demographic at Disney World, that goes a.

[Mike]

Really long way when you're in front of. Not that I'm always, like, hoping for this, but if you're in front of so and so and then three people come and stop you within an hour.

[CJ]

It'S like, now's the time to do it. Make me look cool. Gas me up. Gas us up.

[Ben]

You know, a couple. A couple people did stop us and mate goes, oh, you guys do have some fans. It's like, we got a couple.

[Mike]

He's very humorous. Humorously sounds like.

[CJ]

Thank you.

[Mike]

Thank you.

[Ryan]

Yeah. To sum it up, though, my kid. My future kids aren't going to Disney without Uncle Steve.

[Ben]

That's what I was saying, dude.

[Ryan]

It for me.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yeah. Especially. Especially after that experience. Yeah. So shout out, Steve.

[Ryan]

I'll be there with my future little Jimmy. I'll be like, last time I was here, I was with the C. CEO Bugatti. What'd you do today, play with Legos?

[CJ]

Jimmy I works.

[Ryan]

Awful name.

[CJ]

It's gonna be a cool kid.

[Ryan]

You can just tell by his name.

[Mike]

So gun to your head right now. You have to name your firstborn in the next 10 seconds. What is it?

[Ben]

Oh, shit.

[Ryan]

Ryan. Ii.

[CJ]

I'd probably be something cool. Like, yeah, let's hear it. I don't want to say Axel, but, like, something cool. I was actually thinking. I always used to think Braxton was kind of a cool name, you know, but it's also kind of hard to say. And then Alex's sister, my girlfriend's sister, ends up having a child naming him Braxton. So I was like, well, that name's out there.

[Mike]

That's out the window. How about you, Ben?

[Ben]

I mean, I got a couple, but I don't want to air them out. I mean, yeah, maybe.

[Mike]

Okay, I. I guess I get that. Because for their answers, it wasn't very serious. Yeah, obviously it was.

[CJ]

I don't know. I think AX was pretty kind of sucked for him, though, because if he ends up being, like, a really smart guy and goes on to be a doctor. Dr. Axel, that's still a pretty cool name. Sounds like a cool guy.

[Ben]

I think your kid's gonna grow up and be a DO dj.

[CJ]

Yeah. I mean, we'll be lucky if he graduates high school, I'd say.

[Mike]

Stick with that. Axel Lotzer has a good. You know, that's just together.

[CJ]

There's a lot of people coming out. I mean, not coming out, but yo, New names Distracted. People are getting funky with these children's names nowadays.

[Ben]

Yeah. You know anyone naming their kids, like, Ryan anymore?

[CJ]

Ben. Like, that shit's boring. You're not naming them. That's like, thank God I kind of got a cool name. Like, you know, CJ is still hip with it, but Mike's Micah is a cool name.

[Mike]

It is. It's pretty funny that Micah is of a super unique name, and then Mike.

[CJ]

Is like, I guess, was Micah a biblical name?

[Ben]

Yeah, it.

[CJ]

That makes sense. I was gonna say, because not that there's anything wrong with your parents, but your parents are very traditional. You know what I'm saying? Like, so, like.

[Mike]

Well, yeah, I think they were like. Like, we want to name him something in the Bible.

[CJ]

Right?

[Mike]

And then only so many.

[CJ]

Probably the coolest name in the Bible. Yeah. It could have been John, but I'm sure Matthew. Matthew, yeah. Mike is a sick name.

[Mike]

I like it.

[CJ]

Micah Salmon.

[Ben]

I enjoy it.

[CJ]

Really cool name.

[Mike]

I mean. I mean, I could be named Evan Hugo, and my last name would still kind of carry Hugo Sandman.

[CJ]

Yeah, that is pretty sick, Bro. Maybe I name my kid CJ or something to abbreviate for cj just so he can be CJ the second.

[Ben]

Don't do that too well. I feel like, let the kid be his own.

[Mike]

Heard that already.

[Ben]

I. I Actually, when people do that and it's like Lil John, you know, you got Big John and Lil John.

[CJ]

And he ends up being a rapper. Yeah, he ends up being a rapper. God damn it.

[Ben]

No, you guys know what I'm saying, though?

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

The whole Junior, the third, whatever, this and that.

[Ben]

Yeah. In a lot of scenarios, you know, it is like, honorable.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

But I don't know, it's almost like then you're kind of just like keeping them, I guess, under your, like, or in your shadow maybe. I don't know. I don't know.

[Mike]

I don't want to offend anyone by saying this, but I think it's something that anyone with a non passed down name hears someone that's like, wow, that my full name is. Yeah, it's John iii. Because my, you know, grandpa John is a horrible example, but very good one. Like. Like, because it's the most. John is the most common name in the United States. And the funny thing is that fact.

[Ben]

Look that up.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

What's the. Okay. Wow.

[CJ]

To style.

[Mike]

And also the funniest thing too is Johnson is the most common last name.

[CJ]

Johnson.

[Ryan]

John Johnson.

[Ben]

Do you guys think that a lot of people are getting away from the biblical names?

[CJ]

Well, they say that.

[Mike]

I don't think they were ever.

[CJ]

50 of the people don't believe in God now. Yeah, I heard that too.

[Ben]

Is that true?

[CJ]

I don't know. We better look that up too. I don't know where we're getting these statistics, but it is funny that all of us heard that. It is weird to think though, how names, like, become outdated. Like you think of like Gladys. Like nobody's name in their.

[Mike]

Their Gladys. That's their child.

[CJ]

Gladys.

[Mike]

I feel like we could just list a bunch of names that are too old.

[Ben]

Or even Richard.

[CJ]

Like Richard who looks at a baby and names him Richard. Not that there's anything wrong with the name Richard, but like, because we just.

[Ryan]

Out of date our friends Richard.

[CJ]

Nowadays it's like serial number X, Y2, Jay Z.

[Ben]

No, it ain't.

[Mike]

That's. Dude, the funniest thing about Elon is that he changed. They changed the name to like something without numbers in it. Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure they like.

[Ben]

No, I don't think so.

[Mike]

I thought they did. I read something.

[Ben]

Oh, it's just pronounced. It's just pronounced a different way. Oh, what's the.

[CJ]

I thought it was just a palate, like, totally wrong. You're like, oh, yeah, his name's Eric. Then you. You look at like Axel. That's a Sick name. But it's like, now you got to follow that up with the second child. So what do you name them? Drive Shaft.

[Ben]

It's like you might hang on to something.

[CJ]

Steering wheel.

[Ben]

Just like.

[Mike]

I love that name.

[CJ]

Car parts.

[Mike]

Yo. Ball joint. Why?

[Ken]

I know some people that do that with their dogs. They're all named after car parts.

[Mike]

I like that. I mean, that's.

[CJ]

You can Honda one of them.

[Mike]

What's your take on that? Like, I think that you can name a pet anything. Well, obviously, you know, CJ kind of came up with the name Lunchbox.

[CJ]

That was fitting, though. It's.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So maybe you got to wait to name your child. Let them, like, grow into their character. And if they're, like, digging through the scraps, you're like, lunchbox.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

You know?

[Mike]

Well, that could. Yeah, but you wait. Yeah.

[Ben]

See, the first that they do.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

You name it like, barf.

[Ben]

I think it's even weirder, though, when people give. When they give dogs human names. A female dog. You named Kate. Yeah, like that.

[Mike]

I think that's kind of the only exception. Like, we ain't putting it past me. If I had a dog, I might name it Steve.

[Ben]

Okay, well, that'd be. Yeah, that'd be a great name for a dog, but.

[Mike]

No, I agree.

[Ryan]

An inside joke forever.

[CJ]

When I was growing up, our dog's name was Chloe. Oh, yeah. Chloe the Sharpe. Chinese Sharpe.

[Ben]

Yeah. I guess that's kind of human name. Like, imagine having a dog and naming it Ryan.

[CJ]

That'd just be weird.

[Ben]

I'm sorry. I don't know. I hate to keep it.

[CJ]

Just be setting them up at a disadvantage right from the start.

[Ryan]

It's such a stupid name.

[Ben]

Yeah, no, it's just a very human.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm sure we could think of a list. A list of names like that, but yeah, very human. Naming a dog Ryan would be super weird.

[Ryan]

What's your guys's take on, you have a dog and it dies, and then you get another dog and name it the same name?

[Mike]

That's weird.

[CJ]

Who do we know that does that? I have friends. Spill the beef.

[Ryan]

They're listening right now.

[Mike]

That's.

[CJ]

They do the same. Too many names.

[Ryan]

He's a good kid each time.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I think.

[Ben]

I think maybe the first couple is kind of weird, but then after like eight, it's like. No, that's just there.

[CJ]

You might have a problem.

[Mike]

Yeah, you're right.

[Ben]

Maybe, you know, so it might. It's like a. It's like a bell curve where it's, like, a little weird and Then gets to the top.

[Ryan]

And then after like 15, it's like really fucked up. About that many dogs.

[Mike]

Guys, I'm, I, I get where you're going at with like, I know you just chucked eight as, as a number, but like, you know, but like dogs lifespans that you're still like, that's a full human's life, you know?

[CJ]

Exactly.

[Ryan]

That's what we're saying. It's at the top of the bell curve. It was like, that was their thing. It's normal. But you get too far and then you're like, why'd they have so many dogs?

[CJ]

My gosh, I've really been getting tempted. Not. I'm not seriously looking into it, but I've just been getting served so many bulldogs on my Discover page on Instagram, I just keep looking at it. And then Alex and I are sending them back and forth. Just a big, you know, little. Just, I guess more of a brick. Meaty little brick.

[Ben]

How big?

[CJ]

You know, just like the, like, like the kind that rob deer to cat on. Okay, so an old English bulldog just like be beefy and just like, they don't do much. You know, just walk around, snort and stuff.

[Ryan]

They don't do much.

[Mike]

I would say, like, honestly, I would consider that a fun fact about you. Obviously you keep serving them, but you like them and CJ's. I always had a little special ugly.

[CJ]

But there's something cute about them.

[Ryan]

Isn't it funny how dogs match their owners, you know?

[Mike]

Right, I was going to say that.

[Ryan]

Before you said they were kind of ugly.

[Mike]

Before. Yeah, before you said the underbite thing too. But you know, yeah, bulldog. To me, a beefy bulldog embodies exactly what you.

[Ryan]

You are right in your jeter.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah.

[CJ]

Like, it looks really cool. Yeah.

[Ryan]

You have to quit caring about it so much.

[CJ]

But yeah, for sure. And like, no offense to you, Ryan, and this isn't really your dog. I already know you're a stepdad. But like, and I love Daisy mine. Daisy, Alondra's dog, Daisy. You know, it probably does, but it is kind of a girl dog. Like, when I think of Daisy, it's kind of just a girly dog. But Daisy is the cutest, sweetest, awesome, adorable, awesome dog. And if you ever need me to babysitter and we'll take her for sure.

[Mike]

She made us a little bit of money today.

[CJ]

Yeah, we even. Well, yeah, now she actually joined a union and now, yeah, we're paying her and she needed like a certain break time in between filming and all this.

[Ryan]

I heard they were talking to Lunchbox and trying to get caught up working.

[CJ]

With a lot of other dogs that work in film and commercials.

[Ryan]

Waffles.

[CJ]

Yep, Waffles. Our neighbor that we sometimes put on our Snapchat story. What kind of dog would you get, Ben, if you were gonna get one?

[Ben]

Probably like Greta's got a Bernie's mountain dog, Bridger. It's a cute little bastard. I love little.

[CJ]

Pounds.

[Mike]

Huge.

[Ben]

That's probably, I don't know, probably something like that. Really?

[CJ]

Really?

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

I need to get a bigger house.

[Ryan]

I was going to say big dogs are like, it's a rich person's dogs. You got to have a lot of money if you have a big dog.

[Ben]

Cuz it's very high maintenance.

[Ryan]

Yeah, they are.

[CJ]

What kind of dog would you get, Mike? I. I feel like you would just get like this, like. And don't take this the wrong way. It would almost just be a stray that happened to be wander around. You were out dirt biking and you're like, it's totally. And it just starts like hanging around. You're like, this is a good dog. And you just take it in and you name him Steve. You don't really know how old he is.

[Mike]

That's very.

[CJ]

You don't know, you know, where it came from. But it would end up being a fantastic dog. Like, it's just like chilling, you know, just the easiest going dog. I could see that.

[Mike]

Because I don't think I would go out of my way to get a dog. But obviously that's not really the point of the question. But that's exactly how that would go. And I've said it.

[CJ]

And it would end up being the best dog is what I'm saying. Like, it would be so well trained. It does seem like they're always grateful.

[Mike]

Sometimes I really like, especially in this conversation, I hate that I'm a cat guy. Doesn't mean I don't like dogs. I love dogs. But I want like basically the lunchbox scenario. I'm just like, you were allergic to lunchbox though.

[Ben]

You know, it's super weird.

[Mike]

I was like allergic to Bella, who was Ryan's dad's cat that we had here for a while. And I was allergic to Lunchbox. And now Sydney has a cat who I, you know, it's just don't like him that much. I love them, love them. Hair everywhere. Doesn't bother me anymore.

[Ryan]

Really.

[Mike]

Did I get over it?

[CJ]

You worked yourself. Yeah. You just.

[Mike]

That's what I mean.

[CJ]

It used to be like yourself. Oh man, I don't know if that's possible.

[Mike]

Allergy medicine every time I come over now. Never. And maybe if I like, you know, dude. And stuff them in my face, I'll sneeze about. It's super. I don't know, dude.

[Ben]

I forgot about Bella. I forgot that we had Bella. Bella living at the shop for like six months.

[Mike]

I loved by a car.

[CJ]

So. So there is. So Ryan's dad had this cat that was kind of just like a shop cat. And when we moved into our shop, she stayed with us here.

[Ryan]

Well, she lived at the house with us, and then we moved to the shop. And Randy, where was he living?

[CJ]

You moved back into a new house, but he didn't want to have the cat.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I wanted to wait till it.

[Mike]

Was t. White hair shedded, like. Anyways, I just hope for like a stray to fall upon us again. I would never go out of my way like, no, ain't nobody. None of us need more.

[CJ]

Another stray here.

[Ben]

What about the time?

[Mike]

I could.

[CJ]

But we should clear this up though, for a second lunchbox. We ended up putting him back with his family out in the wild. He had a bunch of wild cats and a family, and they stayed at this resort just down the way.

[Mike]

People feeding them.

[CJ]

Yeah, yeah. So anyways, he. He's still out there running around.

[Ben]

See, I don't think that we could get a shop dog or probably even a shop cat, because who's gonna, like, take care of it?

[Ryan]

The taking care of it is honestly hardly a problem. You just got food and water. But dude, Bella ruined so much stuff. She ruined seats in the boat. She ruined scratches on the top of the car. I guarantee, Mike, bless your soul. You take it astray and it climb. Ben finds it on top of his car one day or worse. Cj, not gonna be good.

[CJ]

You think I'd freak out worse than Ben?

[Ryan]

No, but your car's black.

[CJ]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

You know, like, there's too much stuff.

[Mike]

Going on and I can't even like, you know, it's funny is like, I can't even. We'll get upset about you guys having your cars in here. It's pretty funny I left my Subaru. I mean, it's like on a tangent. I left my Subaru in here all winter. And I loved it. We all kind of loved it look cool in there. But I was like, bro, no one really cared if they like, when the Lambo and the GTR in here. Everyone's a little nerve wracked for it, but I don't think anyone.

[CJ]

I don't Think so.

[Ryan]

Well, maybe not you too.

[Ben]

I mean, at this point.

[CJ]

YouTube, like, what do you mean? You're just like.

[Mike]

Oh, no, it's only. Yeah, it's only typical things. It's like just walking between them. You know, I make so many trips between them a day. And this isn't me being like, you guys need to get them out of here. Make so many trips between them a day.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Carrying a bag or something.

[Ben]

I get.

[Mike]

What, you haven't touched them. Yeah, but could happen. No, then that brings up that point is like, yeah, if I brought a cat in here and it walked on Ben's Lamborghini, that wouldn't work.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I mean, if it was mine, I wouldn't. I would feel the same way.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah. And then you constantly got to worry about it. Like, I'm right now like, oh, where's my dog at? Oh, I gotta feed him.

[Mike]

Well, actually, Ryan's dad once had a really good point. He was like, a dog is actually sometimes harder than a baby because you can take a baby into a restaurant, into the mall, into wherever you're going. You could take a baby essentially. Yeah, essentially. Yeah, you could essentially take to work. But a dog you can't take into a restaurant, you can't take in on vacation.

[CJ]

So you're leaning more towards the baby side now.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

You know what I could see? I could see Ken getting a dog that is just a stage five chiller. And he just sits in the merch bay with him.

[Ryan]

Ken is. That would actually be a great dog, dad.

[Ben]

Ken goes to the merch Bay, sits with there with him. Ken gets up, walks to the bathroom, goes with him, sits outside the bathroom. Ken comes out the bathroom, goes back to the merch bay, bro.

[CJ]

Ken's dog's name would be like Andre or something.

[Ryan]

What would you name your dog?

[CJ]

Andre the Poodle. Be so elegant.

[Ken]

No, I've never even thought about that.

[Mike]

Bailey.

[CJ]

That's Ken's mom's dogs.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's why it'd be funny if.

[Ryan]

He'S a liberal.

[Mike]

Dude.

[Ryan]

So rattle.

[Mike]

I shouldn't say that's what everyone wants. But, like, do you not want your dog to be a stage five chiller? I mean, I'm. Yeah, that's best case scenario. I would say so too.

[CJ]

And.

[Mike]

And sometimes since it's not, I would say one of my bigger fears with a pet, mostly a cat or a dog, is them having separation anxiety. I don't want that. Well, I've also heard this. When you leave a dog, it could be for five minutes Five hours, five days. They don't know, you know, when they, like, say goodbye, they don't know how long you're leaving.

[Ben]

You know what I mean? They don't.

[Mike]

You'll be like, goodbye. Kind of the same vibe, you know, I'm gonna miss you. Whether it's for five hours or five days. And they have no idea. Obviously, it's a dog.

[CJ]

Watch, like, tv.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Like, go on their phone.

[Mike]

But I just.

[CJ]

I guess you could maybe buy your dog a phone. Can probably get his dog a phone.

[Mike]

I think when. If your pet.

[Ben]

No.

[Mike]

Gets separation anxiety, it. It again, is like added stress to you instead of comfort when you do get to see it.

[Ryan]

That's what I'm saying.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I. I think with that is if you have, like, luggage or suitcases too. Like, they're just trained. Like, they see the suitcases.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. I packed my suitcase and Daisy saw me walk in with it and immed immediately, like, came over and was, like, pawing at me because she thought I was leaving again.

[Mike]

Oh, that's interesting.

[CJ]

She was actually sad that you were leaving. Yeah, of course.

[Ryan]

Breaks my cold.

[Mike]

Cold. For a second, I thought. I thought Ben was getting it. Like, I just don't want a dog that has, like, baggage, you know? Like, I don't want them to have a bunch of, like, going on in their past life. I need a clean slate. I just did. Yeah. For a second I was like, they got baggage.

[Ben]

Ben doesn't want to deal with that shit.

[Mike]

As nice it is to adopt shelter dogs. No, I don't want that. I don't want the baggage.

[Ryan]

All that passed.

[Mike]

Well, I can't believe that we're sitting here talking about. I've really enjoyed this. Talking about pets for the past 20 minutes.

[CJ]

Maybe we're extremely immature. Like, not only obviously immature in the way that we are very publicly immature, but maybe we are also immature as far as where we're at in life. Emotionally, we're like dogs. No way. We can't take care of them. Babies. Of course not.

[Ben]

I think it's just where we're at in our life.

[Mike]

I'm just laughing that we're, like, talking about that. Maybe we're.

[CJ]

Maybe we're in touch. Because I think a lot of people have kids that shouldn't have kids, and a lot of people have dogs that shouldn't have dogs.

[Mike]

A lot of people that shouldn't have kids, that keep having kids.

[CJ]

Most people that have, like, the most kids can't even seem to support one.

[Ryan]

What'S your guys's take on Dana White's slap league?

[Ben]

Dude is gnarly. Like, just standing up there and basically, if you go first, you're like, in. You have the upper hand, literally, for sure. But, you know, UFC is one thing, because it's got, like, the whole.

[Ryan]

It's common.

[Mike]

You can defend yourself.

[CJ]

You can defend yourself.

[Ben]

You know, if you're a good wrestler, then you have some kind of a better advantage than if you're a good boxer or vice versa. In some way. You know, you can defend yourself in some way. That one is just like. It's just not.

[CJ]

Yeah, I just, like, whoever.

[Mike]

I heard. I heard you, like, moan about that.

[CJ]

Because I can't even watch it, dude.

[Mike]

That's tough for you, man.

[CJ]

It constantly is popping up on my Instagram just because the people I follow will be resharing or whatever. And to be clear, like, if you want to go out and do that, go and do it. But it's very tough for me to watch someone get just. Just willingly take brain damage. And, like, you listen to these guys talk in the interviews, and you watch them, they are significantly worse than, like, boxers and UFC fighters. Even the way they talk, they're, like, slurring. They're all up. And like, obviously there's technique that goes into it. And maybe I'm completely wrong and this is slightly ignorant to say, but I think it takes more balls than talent to do that.

[Ryan]

I would agree.

[CJ]

And also a very good chin, because realistically, that. That is. Some people are just genetically or they just have a. I don't know what, you know, they can take hits like that, but he. Eventually that's gonna wear just like every other boxer or fighter you've ever seen in. In the history of ever.

[Ryan]

I haven't looked into it too much, but is there ways that you can. Like that. There are people. Those people are training. Other than slapping harder.

[CJ]

I don't know.

[Ben]

And always strengthening your neck.

[Ryan]

And who gets to slap first? How do they pick that?

[Ben]

I think it's. It's like.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

And what happens if you don't knock the person out? Like, you slap.

[CJ]

They turn around and hit them.

[Ryan]

And then do you get to hit them back? How many times you go back and forth, forth.

[CJ]

Tell one, tell somebody.

[Ben]

So it could. If you go first and you knock them out on the first one, you're good. Then you win, I believe.

[CJ]

Yeah. But then you go next round. Eventually you're not going to get to go first. So that's when it comes down to just Being able to take a slap.

[Ryan]

Dude, you know, like you ever shook a guy's hand and it just feels massive. Like it like he's a. A man of the land. Probably just got a strong hand. Imagine shaking that guy's hand. Bet you it's like Andre the Giant, dude.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

It seems like the bigger you are, the more advantage you have at it. But then again, some of those guys.

[Mike]

Up there, like, aren't they have their technique.

[CJ]

No, there's definitely a technique to the way they're like hitting it. Obviously they're swing. They have a lot of force and I'm sure you are perfecting that.

[Ryan]

Dude. There's no way I could stand.

[CJ]

But you can't flinch. If you flinch and then you get hit, you're just like flinch and then you have to take it again.

[Ben]

Really?

[Mike]

I actually haven't really.

[CJ]

You can't flinch because technically, you know, you look at fighting in general. Covering like boxers train. So if someone's throwing a hook at this side of your head, you go with it to lessen the blow. You know what I'm saying? So like, that's why they're like kind of moving, which I know very little, but like, so obviously if someone's going.

[Ben]

To hit you, you almost want to.

[CJ]

Take the slap and move with it to lessen the blow, but you can't do that. And if they detect that.

[Mike]

That is. It makes it worse. And maybe I don't know a whole lot saying this that other people do, but I remember seeing Mike Tyson and he trained his neck. Yeah, the biggest neck for these.

[CJ]

Like bridge roll.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

So I was watching super bad for your neck.

[CJ]

But yeah, he strengthened.

[Mike]

It's good to know because I'm watching him do it and he's like basically feet on the ground and then head on the ground.

[CJ]

It looks like he's about to break his fucking.

[Ryan]

Oh, my gosh.

[CJ]

Dude. Yeah, pull up the.

[Mike]

Yeah, you should pull that out.

[CJ]

You'd easily be able to find it.

[Mike]

I was really blown away. He did neck exercises, neck bridges. And then you look at Mike Tyson, you're like, well, his neck is massive. Like, he actually had the biggest neck in his weight class.

[Ben]

Yeah, the pictures of Mike Tyson when he was in his prime, like, shock.

[Mike]

So anyway, I didn't know that he did neck specific. I didn't know that he did neck specific exercises. And I was just like, blown away.

[CJ]

Yeah, like that. Look at that shit.

[Mike]

Does that not look like it would one hurt?

[Ben]

Look at. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Oh, man, he got that.

[Ben]

He looks like CJ's future bulldog dude.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I didn't know.

[Ryan]

Imagine going to fight so bad.

[CJ]

That's so bad.

[Mike]

I didn't know that was a thing.

[CJ]

They don't do that anymore, I don't think. But they have this thing called the iron neck.

[Ryan]

I've seen that one.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's for training your neck. When I was in hockey, my dad used to always tell me to. I don't know how he wanted me to necessarily do it, but he wanted me to strengthen my neck in case I'd get hit from behind because it would help basically protect you rather than potentially break it or whatever.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Mike]

Ken, I got something else for you to pull up.

[CJ]

Hey, how.

[Ben]

How much money do these guys get paid? Like, if. I don't think the slap league guys.

[CJ]

Are making that much money. That's the thing. Just like the UFC fighters that are, you know, below, like, which they. Is pretty public. Like, they're asking for more money. But I would imagine the slap league guys are getting paid very, very little.

[Ben]

From what I've heard Dana White White talk about is just like the. The numbers behind it, though, for, like, social media impressions, because it is extremely shareable.

[CJ]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And. And anyone can watch that. Like, anyone, whether you're into combat sports or not. And you can be pretty entertained by, like, whoa, what is going on? Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. I. I'd imagine, like, if he's doing it or getting behind it, there's got to be some reason, but.

[Ryan]

But people said the same.

[CJ]

For the record, I'm not saying it's not gonna be successful. I'm just saying I can't watch it.

[Mike]

Yeah, no, I. Oh, and I. And for the record, I'm saying the athletes maybe not getting paid, but Dana White is.

[CJ]

Yeah, somebody's getting paid.

[Ryan]

Somebody.

[CJ]

Yeah, it's on like, TBS. It's on TBS.

[Mike]

Sorry, I thought you were thinking TLC. Because TLC, Savage.

[Ben]

Oh, like, holy. My 300 pound life.

[Mike]

Yeah, they just exploit people.

[Ben]

Not 300 pounds, you know, my 600 pound life.

[Mike]

You know, you guys have a. Being the editors of this channel, you guys have a pretty good library of funny songs. Well, when. When the 600 pound person does anything, they put a funny song.

[CJ]

Yeah, dude, they do.

[Mike]

They don't feel bad about it for a little bit at all.

[CJ]

Yeah, you can really do someone dirty with the edit.

[Ben]

Is that what it is? £600? No, it's.

[Mike]

There's like a couple. There's like the show. There's so many. Dude, there's like a thousand pound Sisters, you know, like two of them. There's two, and they're like 1 600, and one's like 450, bro.

[Ryan]

Holy crap, dude. My thousand pound sisters. They are some big woman. Both of them together weigh over a thousand pounds.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Ben]

I mean, that's quite a bit.

[CJ]

It's reasonable now. She's not. She can walk.

[Ryan]

No, that's the other sister. I think one of the sisters is trying to slim up.

[CJ]

Yeah, obviously the other one on the left slimmed up.

[Ben]

Wait, another one of them were a thousand pounds?

[Mike]

Neither of them were a thousand pounds alone. But it's.

[CJ]

Dude, some of these people are at such a disadvantage, though, because of just their genetics. So, like, I would imagine if you're a thousand pounds, you, like, are at the furthest end of. Of a disadvantage. Obviously, you still just. You probably should try to do something to make your life a little easier, but, dude. Yeah, that's crazy. You could literally not do anything.

[Ben]

No, I don't think they do anything.

[CJ]

They wouldn't be able to even sit in this chair. Like, this chair would break. I don't even know if they'd be able to sit on the couch. The couch probably wouldn't be able to hold them.

[Ben]

Yeah, man. I think it gets to a point.

[CJ]

How do you bathe?

[Mike]

That's where I guess at the end of the day, I hope that shows like this, and I don't know if they are because I don't watch them, but I hope they're helping them.

[CJ]

You know, they're just making it worse.

[Ben]

That's what I'm.

[Mike]

I don't know if they're making. I don't think they're making it.

[CJ]

Well, I guess they are giving them money.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, they're. They're. I'm sure in the show they have like a trainer that's like.

[Ben]

Are that.

[CJ]

You think they're trying to swim them down? I don't think so at all. They're like, keep doing what?

[Mike]

I'm pretty sure that's the whole premise of all these shows.

[Ben]

I don't think they show just to exploit them.

[CJ]

I don't think.

[Mike]

I don't think it's completely.

[CJ]

Maybe we're gonna have to watch it.

[Ben]

I'm pretty sure. I mean, I could be wrong, but I have a very hard time believing that they're out there getting these women that they're making their money off of for. For being big. They're getting them trained.

[Ryan]

Maybe.

[Ben]

Maybe. Who were we with that?

[CJ]

I don't know if they were on the Film set of that of a show like that. Or if they were like relayed to somebody, but they were talking about, like how hard it is for everything they do. Like they need someone to help them, like poop and pee. Oh, my God.

[Ben]

Know what it was?

[CJ]

It was sexy. Oh, my God. Now I remember. I can't say, dude, there was these super heavy people. Like, I don't know if it was that extreme, but in order for them to have a child, like, the family members helped and like lifted up the role so they could. Dude, I'm dead ass serious.

[Ben]

For the show?

[CJ]

No, not for the show. This is just in real life. Sorry, someone. I heard somebody that is like a medical. Maybe we'll. Wow. I don't know who it was, but he was. Yeah, it's a up.

[Mike]

And we don't need to think about.

[Ryan]

That because quick, someone talk about something else. I can't get that.

[CJ]

You want me to show the video?

[Ben]

I understood the first time you said it.

[Mike]

No, when you said family members helped, we knew all we needed to know.

[CJ]

Must be working with a hammer to work through that fat. Because, I mean, you got to realize, like, you're going to be working with a nub by the time you have a pelvis hanging out like that. Think about it. I mean, like, you want the video.

[Mike]

I'm changing the subject.

[Ryan]

Thank God.

[Mike]

Just something real exciting. So I went to high school at a place called Holly High School. It wasn't anything to write home about. I enjoyed it. But they finally did something cool.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Mike]

Well, they painted a mirror of you in my eyes. They did something cool? No, they. You guys remember the. The dirt bike through the school prank? Dude, it's been done a handful of times, but do you remember just the one?

[Ryan]

Yeah, the one legendary.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I looked that one up, of course, had to rewatch it after I saw this and I was like, oh, yeah, this is just. This is the only one I remember. And then of course I'm looking on YouTube, there's like 20 other ones. So it's been done many other times. But I just got sent a nice video from my high school and they did that as their senior prank and they're. They're facing all the charges you'd think they'd face.

[CJ]

Yeah, what kind of charges? They wrote a scooter.

[Mike]

Well, no, I gave the buddy on the scooter some credit. We got a two stroke and he's revving it.

[CJ]

Oh, he did it.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, that's like those, you know, that's where I went to high school.

[Ben]

And I was so proud.

[Mike]

The two stroke homie. I was so proud.

[CJ]

Holy freak. How'd they not get stopped?

[Mike]

Dude, I don't know.

[Ben]

Well, man, we could get a steady.

[Ryan]

Cam on this guy.

[Mike]

Yeah, somebody could have been on a one wheel following him or something. But yeah, the scooter was. You know, the scooter was that.

[Ben]

But yo, there's a GoPro footage of the actual rider and. And he comes out of the school.

[Mike]

Wait, you. Are you talking about.

[Ben]

Yeah, this guy. And he comes out of the school and he like, grabs second and he almost hits a car.

[CJ]

Holy.

[Ben]

But then I guess they. They loaded up and they got caught in the parking lot.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[CJ]

So what happened?

[Ben]

They got pretty jammed up.

[Mike]

Like, basically, you know, like, they didn't.

[CJ]

Do anything that bad.

[Mike]

That's what's interesting. In a situation like this, the adults, you know, the principal, the. The vice principal, whoever else is in charge, they're like, we have to do something.

[CJ]

Right.

[Mike]

Because they could have to discipline. Yeah.

[Ben]

I mean, so you can't just ride a dirt bike through the school.

[Mike]

I agree.

[CJ]

He wasn't doing wheelies or for the record, reckless.

[Mike]

For the record. I agree. So they got iss which is in school suspension.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Mike]

I've tagged that a couple times. Not. Not crazy. No, you just sit in.

[CJ]

Oh, they didn't get the cops involved.

[Ben]

That's good.

[Mike]

Then that's what I. I'd say that's a fair. They threatened to, but then I was like, that's. Yeah, they threatened to. They're like, wow, we got to get the cops involved. And then it kind of pushed away from that like it should.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And they got in trouble, you know, walk.

[Ben]

He couldn't walk.

[Mike]

That's right.

[CJ]

Graduation.

[Ben]

And then anyone else involved like that, like holding the doors, couldn't walk.

[Ryan]

I think that's kind of messed up because that doesn't punish the kid. It only punished the parents. The parents are the only person that cares about the kid walking. I never gave a shit, but my parents wanted to see me walk, so that's a point. A little messed up because I know that's a standard punishment, but what do you do?

[Ben]

So that was for the senior prank.

[CJ]

That's why.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah. That's what they called it.

[CJ]

We drove a Golf that good. It's not really a prank. That's just like doing a stunt to me.

[Mike]

Either way, proud of them. Yeah, it is funny calling it like, that's our senior prank.

[Ryan]

I'm sure it wasn't our last collective prank, but it was like part of their little.

[CJ]

Like, a prank would be like, Saran wrapping the whole entire school or the front door so you can't get. You know, or something like that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I think for my senior prank, ours was. Principal's car got Saran wrapped, and somebody pooped underneath it. Oh, no, my friend. You guys.

[Mike]

You think?

[Ben]

You think?

[CJ]

So they got away with it.

[Ben]

He's so.

[CJ]

Dude, Saran Wrap in a car is actually kind of up. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Someone did it.

[CJ]

You can pull some paint off with that.

[Ryan]

It gets hot and stuff. And then it. I mean, you wrap some poop in there, too. That's not good.

[Ben]

When we were a senior, every. All the seniors would stay at the school on the last night. I don't know if that was a tradition.

[Ryan]

A little bit.

[Ben]

Yeah, I guess. Like, sleep there. Yeah. Sleep intense.

[CJ]

That sounds like, like, your bad idea for the. That the staff's asking for right there. Let them sleep in the school.

[Ryan]

We are getting.

[CJ]

Oh, whoa.

[Mike]

Outside the school.

[CJ]

Oh, outside. Outside. Okay. That's not outside.

[Mike]

Well, you know, it's like Black Friday. They don't let you in until.

[Ben]

But every single year, somebody would crawl up on the roof and get in trouble or do something or. And then that's when you would do, like, the senior prank. It was like, that time.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Ben]

And I remember everyone went to bed, and we're like, so what are we doing for the senior prank? And I think we'd, like, maybe did a couple different things, but, like, nothing too big. And then the next morning, like, words started to spread. Did you hear somebody pooped under, like, or in the. I think it was in the principal's parking spot. And everyone was like, who was it? Who was it? But we had this one friend that would poop on demand anywhere.

[CJ]

So you're looking pretty guilty.

[Ryan]

He's pretty. Red hands.

[Ben]

I don't think he ever admitted it, but he would just smile.

[Mike]

Very smart of him.

[Ben]

So we all know it was him, but I don't think he ever admitted it, which is so funny. But, yeah, I love that I want to say that's what.

[Mike]

I just love that.

[CJ]

I wish I could poop on demand.

[Mike]

I love that he stepped it up from. So what. What is our senior prank? You're all sitting there, like, hours into his own hands. Saran Wrap, the principal's car. Everyone's like, okay, it's like us coming up with ideas. All right, yeah, we got that. But, like, we got to step it up and then finish this thing.

[Ben]

And that's what he's doing.

[Mike]

With his poop, he's like, yeah, we.

[Ben]

Got to finish this thing just on. I think he even lone soldiered it. Really?

[CJ]

That's ballsy, man. That's smart, though. If you want nothing to get out, you got to do it by yourself, kind of. You got some trusting friends.

[Ben]

I think the year before, all the seniors brought their dogs or animals or pets to school.

[Ryan]

Like a health risk.

[Ben]

Yeah, probably, man.

[Ryan]

I'm getting a lot.

[CJ]

I like the idea of when you get, like, chickens or goats or whatever, and you number them like, 1, 2, 3, or you just do 1, 3, 4, and then. Then, you know, like, catch the goats. You're like, where's two? And they're still looking for it or whatever. Like, that's a classic.

[Mike]

Good one.

[CJ]

Obviously, that's been done tons of times, but that's just like a pretty. As long as the animals aren't getting, you know, hurt or whatever.

[Ryan]

But that's a good one.

[Ben]

What'd you do? Did you guys have.

[CJ]

I don't think we did one. I. I can't remember. I legit can't remember. I remember.

[Ryan]

I think we put. We put the golf cart inside our school. Like. Like a groundskeeper golf cart. Did a bunch of other lame stuff. No. Like craning the principal's car on the roof and stuff like that. You know, how the.

[CJ]

Would you even manage to do that? Like, you know, realistically, like, they don't leave their car there overnight.

[Ryan]

It's true.

[Ben]

Yeah. They're just asking for it then.

[Mike]

Yeah. I would say walking away from maybe this whole podcast, but Comment down below. I so curious.

[Ryan]

Senior pranks.

[Mike]

What your senior prank was, regardless of what it is and what it was, if it was the most savage one that you think has ever been done.

[Ben]

I saw that there was a school in Texas that had to call off graduation because 16 of their 30 students didn't graduate.

[Mike]

Just.

[CJ]

Why didn't they just let the 14 run it? I don't know.

[Ben]

They must have been like, it's not worth it.

[CJ]

Yeah, 16 more people makes it worth it. I don't know.

[Mike]

I'm a little worried because, like, is it just because they just didn't graduate, or was it because of a brain?

[Ben]

No, I think it was because of, like, grades and. And attendance or something.

[CJ]

Embarrassed. They were like, we're gonna slough this class off.

[Ben]

But I was like, what a terrible stat to get out on the Internet. Kind of teach for your town.

[Mike]

The fact that it got reported on was kind of sad.

[CJ]

50. 50 shot.

[Ben]

If your kids can graduate from our school.

[CJ]

Well, my kid graduated. I'd be pretty happy a bit. Good job.

[Ryan]

Beat the odds.

[CJ]

Yeah, you beat the odds, Ken.

[Ryan]

To wrap up, can we. Can we play that video that I sent you?

[CJ]

All right.

[Ryan]

This is bringing back an old segment. Oh. Called Idiots on the Internet or something like that. I can't remember what I called it. I don't know who these backyard Broncos guys are. I think they're Canadian, but God damn, are they hilarious, the group of them. Their group dynamic is insane. And the premise behind this is they're selling a car to this guy, and he came to buy it.

[CJ]

Okay, okay.

[Mike]

Have some trouble with that. Hey, there we go. Oh, hey. Hey. What are you doing? Hey, what are you doing?

[CJ]

Sorry about that.

[Mike]

It's already running, buddy.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[CJ]

Yeah. Oh, listen to that.

[Ben]

Yeah, it's.

[CJ]

Yes. Yeah, you're gonna have to get used to her, huh?

[Ben]

All right, I'm gonna back out.

[CJ]

It's a turd wagon.

[Ben]

You good, dude?

[Ryan]

I am.

[CJ]

Dude, I am so sorry.

[Ben]

Wait, who's the prank uncle? Dude, no prank with that guy. I think that was real.

[Ryan]

I think they were trying to sell the car. Like, okay, we did our. We had our phone with this car. We got to get rid of it. And apparently when you're trying to sell a car that you made it to a convertible probably for like 500 bones, that's the type of guy that shows up.

[Ben]

There's no way that was real. That's what I call bullshit.

[Ryan]

But there's no way.

[CJ]

There's already a shitty car. That's why they.

[Mike]

It's tough. You know, there's a problem when homie doesn't even bat an eye about the chopped off roof.

[CJ]

Roof.

[Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

But like, bro, that is what we would call a hermit. Like, he lives under a rock. I don't know if it stays.

[Ben]

I think you guys live under a rock for believing that.

[CJ]

Yeah, for good entertainment. No, no, no, no, no.

[Mike]

Hey, Ken, play it.

[Ben]

I'm not saying it's bad entertainment. I'm just saying do you guys actually believe that?

[Mike]

Here's why.

[Ben]

Here's.

[Mike]

This is just a really dumb ass, funny take as to why I believe it. Play it again, Ken.

[CJ]

It's when he turns the key double of times. Oh, hey, what are you doing, man? What are you doing?

[Mike]

Oh, it's because he doesn't even know how to start.

[CJ]

The car was running. It was just like a skit.

[Mike]

So anyway, here's why I believe it's real. Because of his hair.

[Ryan]

Dude, the guy.

[Ben]

I know the hair did kind of confuse me.

[Mike]

I know.

[Ryan]

Look at his hair. He's got the best bed head going on right now.

[CJ]

You know it's fake.

[Ryan]

I mean, okay, fine, it can be fake and less fun, but God damn, that guy really acted like a good weirdo.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah, he did great. If there's anything we can take away from this, like, acted like it's just a Civic.

[Ryan]

They chop the roof off. And for them, they do a lot of these. And if this one isn't real, which I agree, maybe it's not, but they get a ton of, like, iffy, funny interactions with people when they're trying to kick guys in the nuts for cars and stuff like that. And, you know, definitely worked. It's got, like, a ton of views.

[Mike]

And, you know, the way they, like, don't film his face, like, if you, like.

[Ryan]

Well, I don't know. It's just not as fun to be like, it's fake.

[Ben]

No, no, no, it's funny. It's funny. But, like, it just.

[CJ]

I gotta go. I got a meeting with the YouTube manager. Grapes.

[Mike]

On that note.

[Ryan]

All right, on that note, life is fake. I just.
