A
Well, welcome back to the Life Wide Open podcast. We're joined by a little bit different of a crew today. We got Ken behind the keyboard back there, Mike over here. Gavin, three wheeler. Gavin and Ev. But you know what? I want to skip all the BS today, and I want to dig in to what matters. Gav, you found the girl, your dream last night.
B
What are we talking about, Ry?
A
Well, do you remember meeting her at the bar?
B
We'll start with saying yes.
A
Okay, so last night, Gav was talking to this nice lady, and he know they were getting along, all that, right? Nothing too out of the ordinary. And then she happens to mention that she owns a Powersport dealership and sells Hondas. And I watched Gavin roll around on the floor in shock because he was so excited.
B
Honda's, man. I don't know what to say about that, but she was talking about the red stuff, and I got carried away.
A
So, Gav, what. What. What did you think when someone comes to you and they say, yeah, I am actually a dealer. I'm a fun dealer of Hondas.
B
You know, I start off with getting mad because they don't sell three wheelers anymore.
C
That's what I was.
B
That's not cool. So then we start into that conversation. They tell me they're too dangerous, and then nothing goes good after that.
C
So you dropped the ball on the woman of your dreams every time.
D
Technically, she wasn't the woman of his dreams because she doesn't sell three wheelers.
B
That's that.
D
I mean, what are the odds? You meet, like, a girl that's like, yeah, I got a power sports dealership. We mostly just deal three wheelers. I mean, you'd have to get on a knee.
B
Duh.
A
I mean, yeah, instantly, yeah, 100%. But I did think, man, I overheard that conversation. Conversation. I was like, man, Gav's got to be on cloud nine right now.
B
I didn't even know what to say. What do you say, Jeremy? Basically, yeah.
D
It's been a ripper of a weekend. We finally got the Hummer pontoon back on the water, but, like, to the sandbar. It was an hour trip to the sandbar. And it was the most. Honestly, one of the most epic experiences of the summer.
C
A true voyage.
D
Yeah.
A
I tried to not, you know, be too overbearing with my nervousness, but I was so anxious the entire time. You're. You're driving that thing. And I. I felt a little bit of responsibility being it's my car that nobody's paid me for, and I'm listening to the To. To the welds cracking and popping on the Hummer as we're floating over 30ft of water in the middle of the windy lake. It was the most nerve wracking thing we've done in months.
B
At least we had the AC and the jams tuning, man, I'll tell you that.
A
That's true. I think that's what everybody brought up when they see that you still got AC in that thing. I was like, of course. Heated seats too, for when it gets cold.
C
And it was really awesome to like, see, like everybody was driving by to wave and thumbs up and take pictures. But they all just kicked up a big wake for us to have to navigate in this pontoon.
A
I know that was the worst part. Every boat would come right at us and. Which was fun. You know, it's fun like waving everybody. And it was fun being on a. A boat that drew attention. But basically we were trying to avoid waves because the waves are the enemy of that pontoon thing. Everybody would just drive right by at like 10 miles an hour and just kick up the biggest wave. And every time a wave would hit it, you hear the wells go. And it was flexing. It was bad.
C
No, the aluminum was flexing so bad. Like, I could tell, Ryan, you know, you were stressing pretty good, but you also weren't projecting it too much. Like I could, I could tell. And I tried to be a little reassuring, like, that's aluminum. It's got some flex.
B
That was a funny conversation. Yeah. I was all sure. And I'm yeah, it's supposed to flex. Ryan comes back saying, I just hope it doesn't flex too much.
D
That's what it was. You go, aluminum can flex. And you're like, yeah, tell it.
A
So we're coming into the access and it was a little chaotic, right? There's people that are pulling their boats in, some people are pulling their boats out. All that. I got Evan Gaff on the tiller.
C
The dream Team.
A
The dream Team.
D
Oh, come on, Give me a break.
C
Dream team of your worst nightmares.
A
We're coming in hot. Because we knew the four wheel drive doesn't work that well in the Hummer and we knew we were going to have to hit the access hard to make it up. This bolt pulls right out in front of us. In that moment, Gav panics and then hands the tiller over to Evan.
B
Correct.
A
Hit the shoreline crooked. All this tomfoolery. Well, anyway, during that moment, I was holding on to my phone, you know, kind of got my screen must have gotten unlocked. Anyway, I accidentally called Big Wrench, our Mechanic, at about 6:30 in the afternoon. And we never call him when he's.
C
Not here for when there's not an. Yeah, it's always an issue.
A
We call, we go, hey, hey, man, like big ranch. We need help with this thing. So as I can assume, he's sitting at his son's baseball game and the phone rings and he sees Ryan's calling and he goes, ah.
D
And he knew what we were doing.
A
Yeah, he knew what we were doing. I think he was a little nervous about it too. And I gotta imagine he just sat back in his chair, went, ah. And so turns out he thinking the.
B
Tooth going down, dude.
A
I go, oh, hey Brian, how's it going? He goes, hey, what's happening? Because in the background, all I heard was Evan and Gavin screaming at each other. The Hummer revved out to the moon, the tiller revved out to the moon, and us scraping and banging into the dock and land. You knew he picked up that phone and had a panic attack.
B
Dude, he got Ben watching the whole thing.
C
Yeah, I can't imagine from Big Wrench's perspective. I mean, just like when the outboard comes out of the water and it's over revving and then we got tires burning, we have pontoon scraping on concrete and then like a lot of hollering.
A
And now what tops it off is Gav on the tiller first and going, evan, I'm scared. You do it, you do it, you do it.
B
Dude. I was, I wanted to give it full throttle, but I didn't want to hit the ground. And then everyone's like, who cares if we hit ground? I was like, yeah, that's a good point.
A
I don't know why you were so scared of that thing, Gav.
B
Dude, that's a big 115 horses right there getting ready to run up on some concrete. That's a little scary.
C
I mean, clearly you blacked out when it mattered. But we had a plan. You were gonna run the throttle and I was gonna run the trim.
B
It didn't work out that way.
A
Tin Pano, I think that was two men on a one man job right there for sure.
C
No one wanted full responsibility for that. No, we would have gotten stopped. Me and Gavin would have just been pointing at each other.
B
Was him. He was touching the motor.
D
One of, yeah. One of many shenanigans we do have planned. And it went well, honestly. Thank the good Lord above that. We didn't sink. I mean, that was just my thought. It wasn't Like a.
B
It was. It was.
D
It was like a. It was like a good or bad situation. You know, it either goes well as in we like make it there and we make it back, or, you know.
C
You can think the Lord for getting us through that one. But I'm giving a shout out to Big.
D
Yeah.
A
Yeah. I think that was far more than he ever expected that Hummer would be put through.
C
Yeah, I mean, we kind of. We have the pond. We were. Yeah, we'll put it in the pond. It'll be cool. It'll float. Yeah, I don't. I don't know if you knew that was going to happen.
A
And then after it went well, we're like, we're going to Big Corm. We're going to take it out on the big lake. And he was like, wait, wait, wow. Well, I don't know about that, but it worked flawlessly. So that. That's pretty great.
B
Well, now we got to figure out a way to get two motors on, man. We gotta. We got a wakeboard behind.
A
Oh, it isn't fast enough for you now, gal?
B
Dude, I want to see it come up the plane. That's what I want to come over the wake and start.
C
To be honest, I would like it fast.
D
It's not fast enough.
B
Is there no chance?
A
No, it's not. But Hummers aren't fast on land, let alone in water.
B
I mean, that's a good point.
A
That's a. That's a lot of weight to try and get out of the water. And on plane, I mean, that's heavier than our Centurion.
D
When you say on plane, that that is the biggest factor. I was like, why is this thing, like, so slow? It's because it doesn't plane out like a boat.
C
Yeah.
A
Because it has a Hummer drag.
B
So what would happen if the tires weren't on it?
D
It would help.
C
Oh, you wouldn't be able to drive it down the road.
A
It wouldn't be good.
B
Okay.
A
I did think about that. If you almost had like an any level type of lift, they could suck the tires up and then you could really get going. If you built like a skid plate and then an any level lift that sucked the tires up be pretty great.
D
Let's just say our Hummer pontoon with an unlimited budget would be something. Something of an awe.
C
I almost think, though, that anything we add to it almost takes away from what it truly is. Yeah, a Hummer with pontoon.
A
That's it.
B
Just.
C
It is what it is.
B
When you say it like that, it probably should only go 5 miles per hour.
A
Exactly.
C
It's perfect.
D
So a little bit of a transition then into our sooner shenanigans coming this week. Like, we're going to try to do the snorkel three wheeler, which Gavin has done four times now. I kind of want to pick your brain about what. Explain what that is and how you came up with the idea and kind of the first, like, things that you ran into trying to literally scuba dive a three wheeler.
B
All right, so it all started when I figured out the power of a Honda. These things are indestructible. I mean, I sunk it down on the river one time. I was like, oh, I ruined this thing. Then pulled the plug, let the airbox dry a little bit. Fires right back up. You can't kill them. All right, so that's. That's where the first train of thought came. And then it was like, I want to go deep with this. I want to go further. And then I was like, ah, let's go across the lake. Now we're here. So I want to do 10ft at least. Probably 10ft from the air box to the top of the water or whatever.
A
So we're working on setting up our snorkel kit. Gav, be honest with me. How much time did you put in your snorkel? It looked like you spent six and a half minutes on it.
B
Six and a half.
D
Based on the explanation you just gave me, I feel like I laid out the most, like, beautiful question for you, and you're like, yeah, went underwater. Hondas are sick.
E
No, no.
B
Yeah. So then. Then the idea came that we just want to go really deep with it. And so we're gonna attach the snorkel right to the air box, go 10ft up, 7ft up, whatever we can, and drive fully underwater. Because it's a Honda. I mean, it'll stay running. So the biggest thing that we did have problems with was being able to stay on the bottom. So then when we added the tank tracks, our other problem was that we couldn't get the front tire to stay down. And so we try to fill it with water. Couldn't find a guy to fill for. Fill it with water for us. So Randall, sandbags didn't work out, and now we're here.
D
Oh. So the front tire being that they. They are big on three wheelers, had that much buoyancy?
B
Oh. Even deflated. Even deflated all the way. Even deflated all the way. Yeah. Still trying to pop up on you. And then my lake isn't like a lake out Here, it'll just drop right down and it'll be a weird divot. Blah, blah, blah, blah. We're out here. It's going to be nice and smooth gradually going in. So that's what's going to help huge as well.
A
So you have confidence in this.
B
This out here with standing on the sandbar and stuff today and seeing, like, what your beach is like. Yeah, we got this.
D
I mean, and another fun thing for me was, okay, where do we get scuba gear? We looked it up. You know, we're pretty good. Everyone gets on their phone. Where do we get scuba gear?
B
Shenanigans. I pulled some shenanigans and I. Let me hear what you guys are thinking.
D
So then I was like, okay, so. So Gav, being in Colorado, like, was able to rent some, but obviously had to look around too. Well, we. I didn't know this. This is a cool factor and a scary factor. We ordered, like, scuba gear off of Amazon. It's not real, but it's like you could order like a. A tank that you. That you can fill up and. And that you can also order the thing to refill. Refill it and all this. And I was like, I mean, it wasn't cheap, but I'm like, you can just get this off Amazon. Why is no one talking about this?
A
Well, that's the thing is. So I called the scuba shop, right? And we. We've kind of had a couple run ins with them before, you know, at different events. So I thought we're like, hey, you know, we got a little friend on the inside. He'll be cool about it. I had no idea scuba people were so protective over their sport.
B
Oh, man, we had to pull some shenanigans, man. We had. We told one shot. Oh, gosh, I hope they don't tell them. Oh, yeah, no, yeah, we use this for an air cannon. And then we just had to go use the other. We had to go get the BBMC or whatever it's called for the. The bpc, I think it's called for BBC. You hear that? My God. God. No. But then we would just tell them that we're using it as a prop or whatever, and then we put both them both together.
E
Really?
B
Yeah.
A
See, I called my guy and I said, I have my buddy coming up from Colorado. He's only here for just a few days. You know, we're going to be really crunched for time. It'd be great if I could come and pick up the scuba gear prior to him coming. Well, is he scuba certified? And I go, oh, yep, yep. He's got his certification. He does out in Colorado all the time. You know, out in Lake Mead and all that. He's scuba. I had a whole story built up, and I was like, he's gonna buy this for sure. He goes, yep, yep. That sounds so great. I can't wait to meet him and talk scuba. Just have him bring in a certificate. And I go, no, no, no. We don't have enough time. I better just come in and pick it up before he goes, why? I can't send out the scuba gear without a certification.
B
Dude, they're crazy about it. They are.
C
It's a tank of air. It's free.
A
That's what I said. We're gonna hook them up to a welding tank and send them down there and hope it works.
B
Gosh.
D
Well, that's what I think. I think the thing that keeps them in business is, you know, dudes with Tippman 98s trying to fill their CO2 tanks to shoot more paintballs, you know, like. Like, I don't think they're filling that many scuba tanks or renting out that many.
C
But in this back of the woods.
D
No, no. Surprised that he needs your certification.
B
That's how they are. They don't want us just going down looking for the Titanic with no certifications.
A
Dude, too soon.
B
I wasn't supposed to say. Not like that.
C
Don't you remember what happened? They exploded.
D
Ah, Evan, get with it. They imploded.
A
Cripes.
C
I'll drink to that.
A
Gav, do you ever feel a little self conscious about. About, like, possibly filming anything that's maybe questionably illegal in your videos? Do you ever feel like you're going to get jammed up?
D
Like, obviously. Right.
B
I feel like I'm going to get jammed up all the time.
A
I feel like every video. I feel like rappers can get away with talking about illegal.
B
Yeah.
A
And just not get in trouble for it.
B
Y. What's up with that?
C
Some of them. Some of them get jammed up as of late.
D
As of late? Yeah.
A
Oh, they're cracking down on the rappers.
C
I mean, the whole young thug.
D
Yeah, Young thug, for sure.
C
Yeah. Big.
A
He caught like, a RICO charge, which is like, was literally invented to combat mobsters. I feel like that's pretty extreme.
C
Allegedly, they're running some sort of a operation such as that. Big things. I don't know. You got to be careful, though. You got to be careful.
A
I was scrolling through Tick Tock and there is actually this TikTok rapper, and he straight up did a whole video. Oh, wait, it says this video is unavailable, so it was taken down, so we won't be able to watch it. If I can, if I can find it, I'll put it back up. But this, this rapper is rapping exactly how to do credit card fraud.
C
Tommy G just did a video with the dude.
D
Yes. Yes, he did.
A
And he step by step the whole thing.
C
I have a hard time. Like, it seemed very, like, authenticious.
A
Yeah, Authenticious. Define good work.
B
Authentic.
C
I don't fucking know. But no, it seems so legit. But, like, I don't see the guys, like, not masked up. He's not like. And he's just telling you, like, and he's. I don't know. They're just like, doing it on film. Like, watch this, like, transaction. Boom, boom. Swipes the fake card, goes in, buys free pizza.
D
Yeah.
C
I'm like, this doesn't. Can't.
A
And it wasn't even a good rap song. Like, it was actually more of just a lyrical way of telling you how to commit credit card fraud.
D
No, I love that. Like, the fact that he's then exploiting, like, okay, well, if you can say, like, you know, I got guns and stuff and I got. I got this and that, all legal things, then he's like taking it 10 steps further and just be like, I'm going to tell you how to do something illegal to a table and then see what happens. Might. Might have been an experiment. I'm not. I'm sure he's not trying to get arrested, but it's almost seems like it's a social experiment. Can I make this fly?
C
It's a bold move.
B
It's a very bold move. It's just kind of testing the boundaries probably, you know, film. Film out what you can do.
C
But you, like, test the boundaries. You hit the boundary and you're all jammed up for a long time.
B
Getting jammed up.
D
Of all crimes to, like, go down for. It wouldn't be credit card fraud, which again, is just stealing. Stealing is like one of the more like, I can't make it on my own, so I'll just steal your money. It just isn't.
B
Oh, you just can't do that one.
C
Yeah, I don't like that. You can't steal from the working man. Maybe like a Snickers from Walmart. Like, I won't judge you too hard. I'll never do it. But I wouldn't, I wouldn't be mad. But if I find out you, like, stole a bike from someone's front yard, you're a piece of crap. Yeah, you don't do that.
B
Tell them.
C
I don't like thieves and I don't like litter bugs. Yeah, there's no reason to litter.
A
Nothing worse than thieving.
C
No, I agree.
D
It's nothing quite worse than it. Besides, like, serial killers, there's nothing worse than people that just steal from the working man.
E
Have.
D
Have. You were with me when I did this, but I got a call the other day from the.
A
The.
D
The Clay County Sheriff's office, and, you know, it gave me flashbacks to, like, when I was younger, I'd get a call from the sheriff's department, and they would. You know, it'd be something that I was, like, maybe potentially involved in.
A
Nothing crazy like having your subwoofers too loud.
D
Yeah, yeah. It's like we're a. You know, were you. Were you with the. The fellows that were throwing fireworks at the park? You know, stuff like that.
A
Okay.
D
But anyway, flashbacks to that, but I'm. I'm getting a call from the Clay County Sheriff's Department. I'm like, well, I was like, dude, answer it. It's going to be. Just answer it. So I answer it.
C
It was like the jail recording. Like, press button to accept call.
D
So then. Yeah, so then it was like, press button to accept call for the jail. I'm like, okay, well, cool. Someone in jail is calling me.
B
This is so Mike would answer the phone. It was so great.
D
I got, you know, hello? And he's just like, hey, you still. Are you still with dad?
B
And I just.
D
Oh, man, did I ever want to troll him? Did I want to roll that with. You know, But I couldn't waste his minutes.
B
Yeah.
D
Oh, that was his. Next thing. He just goes, I just added four more minutes. You still with dad? And I was like, listen, you got the wrong number. Hang up. Call who you got to call, because you only got three now.
A
Like, someone from jail called you, and.
C
It happened so quick. Like, that quick, like you said, are you with dad? I'm out of. I got four minutes.
D
Yeah. And he's like, you know, assuming that.
C
Yeah.
A
He was like, well, fudge.
D
Why did I dial the extra zero or whatever?
C
We kind of just like. I was like, what was that? What was that? Yeah. What just happened?
D
It was just too good. I'm just, like, picturing you being in jail someone and trying to call your dad or your sister or your mom or your loved one, your significant other, and just messing up with Micah.
C
Yeah, it can't be that easy to get minutes in there. I mean.
D
No.
C
Get money somehow. God knows what he had to do to get those minutes.
B
Seriously, Only God knows. Not good.
A
Gav.
B
Talk to me, Rye.
A
Did you really spend 24 hours on your wheeler?
B
I did not leave that bad girl once. I, I pooped on it, I slept on it, I ate on it.
C
Monitor next to it.
B
On it. Dude, what do you want to see? What do I have to show you.
C
To prove to you? No, no.
B
It was so gnarly. But I did not leave that three wheeler. I blew up a brake ride too. She was, she was ticking. But yeah, I ran her for probably six hours all through the hills.
C
I thought you couldn't kill a Honda.
B
Well, this one. I I, when you don't do an oil change in the spark plug, looks like freaking.
C
That's been your sales pitch. You don't need to change the oil and the spark plug doesn't matter.
B
All right? We don't want to talk about it. And yeah, so blew the motor and then midnight came around. All right, hop on the next big red. So hopped on another big red. Sadly, that one is a little bit smaller. And I somehow slept on that thing for about 15 minutes.
C
Wait, did you keep it running the whole time?
B
Oh, no, we turned it off. We turned it.
D
That, that was my favorite part. When you were like. I actually, we were like, well what, what did Ty do? Filmer, Your buddy Ty. What did Ty do? Well, he stayed in the truck right next to me and you're like, I actually got more sleep than them cuz they forgot to bring sleeping bags.
B
Freaking idiots. Dude. They didn't think we were camping or something. Guys, they were like, well, we're starving. I'm over there with my beef, my beef jerky or whatever. Freaking happier than hell.
D
No, that was too good. Like the fact that they came unprepared. Like they could have brought anything and rubbed it in your face. Let yet you you're rubbing in there.
B
And I was in luxury. Well, not really. But yeah. And then the next morning, that was, that was brutal. Just because we, we woke up, it was 7 o', clock, 6 o'. Clock. Whatever it was, we're like, all right, we want to be done at noon. Well, we didn't start until 4 the previous day, so we had to go all the way until 4:30 all day.
A
What the hell did you do?
B
Dude, we got a game of baseball rolling. Just had a good day with the, with the fellows, man. I mean that's what it's about is getting outside with your friends and having fun, honestly. So.
A
And that's Gav's sales Pitch.
B
So look, look, look. Check it out. So look, this is doing the wheelie right here. Going up. Sorry, fellas. And then look, sleeping in the. Sleeping back. I'm giving you the breakdown right here, okay? Sleeping, sleeping. Doing the wheelie.
D
More riding.
B
Course riding. Okay, look, there's the baseball right there. See? And then look, I got a good look at the. You like the swing?
A
I'm just more impressed you didn't crash this entire 24 hours.
D
Yeah, right.
A
That's what the title should have been, is not crashing my three wheeler for 24 hours.
B
Damn. That's pretty good, huh? Yeah. Last two hours are definitely getting scary because we were still riding around, but I was like, ah, whatever, right off the bat.
A
You did almost crash. Would you have started over? Would you have cut that clip?
B
Oh, I had to start it over. No, just. Yes. Because we were probably two hours in. And just to prove to myself I can stay on this three wheeler for 24 hours. I know I could actually do probably longer than I could do 36 hours. That'd probably be where I'd be really sick of it.
A
True story. I really respect that out of you, but why?
B
Because. Why not.
D
Content, baby.
B
Content baby. No.
D
If it makes it.
B
And I don't know, just. That's probably something. As a kid, just dumbass little Gavin just having fun. What would I want to do? I want to stay and sleep on my big Red. Yeah, I want that, right? I don't know, man. I spent so much time with my three wheelers, and I'm just like, oh, why not spend a little bit more?
C
Did you have to spend some time apart?
B
No. No. Well, I was able to shut up. I could stand up, I could do everything.
C
But, like, afterwards, you, like, you just went back like everything was normal.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
What do your other three wheelers think?
B
Not happy 250 yard. Wasn't having a good time. Oh, baby girl.
C
You've been kind of bad to her, though.
B
Do you want to talk about that? What do you think about that?
C
I think you ruined him. What a piece of art.
B
Dude. You know I was gonna ruin it the minute you saw me hit that freaking water hole in Moab, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
No, honestly, I. I knew before you even had it that I was gonna go sell.
B
It's still running great, though. I mean, that power band's still there. She's still wanting to fight.
C
Oh, yeah.
A
You never had to fix it.
B
Oh, no. I still need to put a base cask in it, but that's it, though.
C
Yeah.
A
Honestly, though, I would have been more disappointed if you didn't ride it and you didn't beat it up.
B
And that's all I was thinking about, especially at Trike Fest. I was like, what would Ryan say to me right now? Treat it like it's a dirty princess. And that's what was in my head the whole time. I mean, dude, I rolled that out in the race. Whatever. I hopped right back on it. We didn't. I don't know why we never posted a clip of it. But the front brake was locked up, but I didn't notice it.
A
And.
B
Oh, yes. Yeah. I didn't know what was going on.
C
My wheels not spinning.
B
You didn't know exactly. Just wait.
C
Just wait.
B
I couldn't tell it wasn't spinning because the back was just going like this. I was like, shit, I blew an axle out or something. I don't know what's going on. I thought I bent it too much center south. And turns out, yeah, the front's all locked up. I'm all trying to help. Back in the race, front's going boom. And then I crash again or whatever. Something happens. Some guy runs over. Dude, you know, your brake cables just jammed up, twisting. That was fine.
D
Finish the race.
B
Finish the race.
D
Oh, hell yeah.
B
Yeah.
C
Did you win?
B
No, no. Third place for my first race ever. Yeah, Last place. There was. There was three people for the 250R class.
C
Three people.
D
Y Y. I. I appreciate you for prefacing that there's only three because there's a lot of fellas out there that wouldn't they go, yeah, yeah, it wasn't too bad. Third place. And then we'd go, dude, not bad for your first race. And then you just wouldn't say anything.
B
Dude, no, I suck, dude. I got the whole shot kind of. And then the kid clipped me. And it was all my fault, pretty much. But that was.
A
That wasn't somebody on like a 70.
B
Oh, that was so. That was in the second race. So the first race was just a 250 art class or whatever.
C
You got beat by a Honda 70.
B
Oh, dude, he ran me off the road. These are some bad freaking dudes. You guys are gonna come out for a damn extra probably what that is.
C
A 310 built billet fucking cases.
B
These guys have 200cc 70 frames that weigh like, what, half the weight and they're freaking set up for flat track running this. These guys are crazy. Then they're going to smoke a cigarette in their shorts and tank tops two seconds later. It's ridiculous.
C
Unfortunately, I'M sick of hearing excuses.
B
Come out and race next year.
C
All right.
B
Come on, Trike Fest, dude.
C
We'll see you there.
B
It was a hell of a time. Yeah.
D
Gav went to Trike Fest and he was a bit of a celebrity there. I guess.
B
We had a really good time, for sure. Everybody was very awesome and. Can't beat that. You can't beat a crowd like that. Hopefully we can get the fellows out there and show you guys a little bit of the real Trike life.
C
Did you have one of the cleanest 250Rs?
B
It was. Everybody was trying to buy it, but probably my big. Oh, yeah, everyone was trying to buy.
A
My favorite part is, Gav told us this weekend, everybody was trying to buy it at about 75% of retail value.
B
That was the biggest problem.
D
Yeah, they're like seven grand.
A
Come on.
B
How could you say no?
D
And you're like, dude, what? I just got it and it's worth more than that.
B
Exactly. But, guys, seriously though. And. But the biggest hit was probably my 87 200X. And the story behind that is freaking awesome. So I just got done having lunch at Qdoba. Pretty average day. We're like, shit, we need to get something filmed or whatever. It's coming up on Wednesday. We need one last bit. Coming home from Qdoba or see a headlight of a three wheeler. I go, Ty, flip around. I saw a 200x headlight. Flip around, flip around. We keep going. We lose track of this guy. We're coming up over a hill. We come to a dead end. It's right or left. I was like, all right, shit. What do I do? I didn't see him anywhere.
C
It's not a dead end. It's a T. That's a T. It's.
B
A damn T. It's a damn T. So I get out and I go, look up right. I go, ty, I don't see him, right. So we go left and right. We go down the street about half a mile. Discount tire sitting there on a trailer. All right, 200x. I couldn't believe it. Just gorgeous. I talked to the guy, hey, would you ever sell. Would you ever say, I'm all pumped up all. I'd probably consider selling it.
D
No way.
B
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And he goes, this is the last year they've ever made. And me thinking, all right, it's got to be the 86. All right? Because that's one of the last years they were made, though. No way. It's an 87. So I said, hey, would you take 500. He goes, ah, 750 right now. But then I shook his hand, and I'm walking around it for a second, walking around it for a sec, and I look at it, I go, this has a key. And I go, I think it might be an 87. And I look down. 1980 freaking 7, fellas. Only 2,500 of them made. It was the most ridiculous thing ever. And then I'm over here at Trike Fest, and I had my good buddy Mitch or whatever that I just met there. He would. Kept bugging me, bugging me for it. And he looks back at me and he's just like, hey, I'll give you six for it right now. He's like, I'll give you six grand for it right now.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
Guys, we're ready to drop high dollar cash on this thing. Oh, yeah, there was one selling six grand. Way worse shape for like five grand. Way worse shape. Didn't have the headlight or anything. Oh, yeah. I had to turn down six grand. Yeah, you love going like this to me. I was like, oh, I can't do it, though, because everybody else was telling me, you're not gonna find another one, Gavin. You're just not gonna.
D
Definitely.
B
Yeah.
C
So that you can't build a collection if you sell them off.
B
Exactly.
A
But you can't be a hoarder if you sell something.
B
Damn right.
D
The fact that you had that big of an offer for it and weren't and didn't sell it, with props to you.
A
Do you just walk around with a couple hundred bucks in your pocket all the time?
B
Gotta have like 300.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Always gotta have 300. But the biggest part of it is honestly staying consistent on the marketplace. You got to check it whenever you're taking a piss or whatever. Just roll on it real quick. Type in through or type in 12 valves. We'll see what's up. The best find I probably honestly has my 12 valve is everybody was scared to buy it. Kid had it listed originally, like 15 grand. Right. Just everyone was so scared to buy it because there's. You can't see how many miles are on. Kid was probably lying to me when he said there was 250 on. There's probably closer to half a mil. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The brakes were a little shot, but I didn't really realize that. And Gab doesn't use them.
D
I didn't realize that. No shit.
B
Yeah. And so I checked it out. That turbo spooled right up, and I was like, oh, baby, we got a cab this girl. So I bought that. I was like, hey, five grand. Paid five grand.
D
No way.
B
Haven't changed the tires on it. Gave it one oil change, and it's been the best machine ever for about five years.
A
You drove it all the way here, didn't you?
B
Yep.
A
One guy from here to Colorado.
C
Yeah, AC works good, too.
B
What's that? Yeah. Wait.
D
Do you own any vehicles with air conditioning?
B
No. No, no. Well, sadly, my first 12 valve. So I have two 12 valves.
D
Yep.
B
The first one that I crashed in the wall used to have ac, but I discovered it doesn't anymore.
D
Okay. Yeah. Yep.
A
Were you crashing to a wall?
B
You know the story.
C
I mean, I recall, but I'd. I'd like a refresher.
B
Okay. So coming up over a hill, I'm a decent. I'm a pretty freaking good driver. I'll say it. No. To some extent. To some extent. And just like a driving man. Or through the mountains and highways or whatever. I had. I've been looking at my gauges or I had. Have been looking at my phone. Either or I. I don't know. I'm gonna be honest. I hope the insurance company's not watching this. So I'm coming up over a hill or whatever, doing 70, right. And I look up a foot in front of me, just at a complete stop. I'm coming in probably weighing what, what, £6,000 with a freaking metal cattle guard up front. I'm going to smoke anything in front of me. Smoke anything. So I lay on the brakes right before. I'm like 6 inches. A foot before in front, a foot before hitting them. Take it hard left. Thankfully, the 12 valve had a little.
A
Bit of stance to what was the complete stop? The traffic.
B
Only the right lane that came to a complete stop.
A
Oh, traffic. Okay, okay.
B
But only the right lane. So I took it hard left.
A
Yep.
B
Wait, wait. Let me keep going. Once I took it hard left, I took it so hard that I am now going sideways. I am now going sideways, hit the wall straight on like this. So I'm going like this. Going like this. Doing really well. I'm like, okay, I'm driving out of this right now. Looking really good right there. Hadn't even hit my face or anything.
D
And I'm confused. You actually hit a wall or a.
B
Car eating along the wall. And car in the right, Car in the left lane. Right. As I'm getting ready to slow down, a complete stop. Smokes the bed. Smokes. Smokes. Oh, my gosh. I don't even want to talk about it, but smokes we'll keep going though. Smokes the bed and then throws me into full360. Put my head in the steering wheel. Bent the hell out of the steering wheel. Like, get up. Bloody lip or whatever. Looking around, looking around like, holy shit, what just happened? And then I'm looking at my rearview mirror.
C
All right.
B
Everything's looking okay. Truck's still running. Turn the truck off. That's not my spare tire, is it? Is that a Mercedes right there? Oh, yeah. Right in the back for Mercedes. Just watching Mercedes. Okay, so moral of the story. Come to find out that everybody stopped in the right lane for some ducks. The cops were already there trying to get the ducks out of the highway. The cops saw it all happen. Yep.
A
Really?
B
And I got to take it for falling too close. And that was.
D
That could have been worse. But yeah.
A
And my liability insurance doubled.
B
Exactly. Smoked a 12 valve. Probably the cleanest 12 valve in Colorado.
D
Really?
B
Oh, yeah. 150000 miles on it. All original paint. Probably the prettiest paint. Yeah. Smoked it. So.
C
150000 miles is low when it comes to 12 ounce.
B
I mean. Yeah, I'd say that's not even running yet.
D
That's. Oh, that's not even broken in the heat cycle. Just got done.
A
Could someone. For me, what's the. What's the laws of. You know, when something happened so long ago that you can't get in trouble for it anymore? Is that seven years, five years?
C
It all depends. It depends on the.
A
On the crime.
C
It really does.
A
Let's say your buddy accidentally crashes a pickup. Allegedly.
C
I can't talk about.
A
Into an alleged bridge and allegedly causes significant structure damage.
B
Wow.
A
What would be the typical time that you could speak about that?
C
In general, US Federal law has a.
A
Statute of limitation for five years unless there is specific legal language for offenses that stretch beyond that time. For example, murder. Okay, well, he didn't do that. So I guess you guys will have to tune back into the Life on Open Podcast 415, something like that. And we will. We'll have a good story for you guys. You better subscribe and one day you'll get to hear the story. I have something. I would kind of like to talk about it with CJ a little bit just because I kind of want your opinion. I feel like. Gav, do you do drugs?
B
No.
A
You don't?
B
Nothing.
A
See, and that's why I think a lot of people would think that the. The way you are and how happy and bubbly and energetic you people probably think you do.
B
Dude, Mountain Dew and freaking. Just stokeness on being here, honestly.
A
And see, I love that. And we were. We were talking about it and someone said that they're like, dude, seems like Gav's all tweaked out on Adderall all the time or something like that.
E
I thought it was cocaine when I first met you.
B
Nope. Nothing. I just. I don't know, just very blessed that, like, to have fun and just. I mean, my biggest say on it is sleep good, eat good, and get in the gym. That's what I mean. That. That'll keep you going and keep you want.
C
Yeah. You've been here for three days. We ain't been eating good, you ain't been sleeping, and you ain't been in.
B
The gym sticking the same thing.
E
This guy has been really breaking his. His regimen.
C
But, yeah, is it our fault? Are we bad influence?
B
It's the week and I got here Friday, man. We're starting Monday tomorrow.
E
Yeah, it's true.
A
A little way in the gym.
B
What's up? I tried.
C
I was getting 6am we'll see you there tomorrow morning.
B
That's a little early, but we can push that.
C
I ain't gonna be there.
E
I'll throw some weight up with you.
B
Let's run it. I see you, cj. Pull up. Contest the guns. Going.
D
Pull up.
E
I think I'd be able to beat Gavin in a pole.
B
How many you got?
E
I don't know. I've never maxed out, but I'm just.
C
Saying there's no way you have, bro.
D
I've never.
B
I've never been like, how many pol.
E
Pull ups can I do?
C
You do pull ups till you're tired and then you let go. That's maxed out.
E
That's not how I do it. I just do like 10, I guess, like. Like, if you really want to dig deep, I don't know, I can maybe do like 20. But the only reason why I think I'd be able to beat Gavin and Pulps is because I definitely weigh less than him. So I'm pulling less. Less weight. But I bet you anything he is two times stronger than me.
B
You definitely got me there. Two. Pulling 230 pounds up a lot.
E
Like, I for sure probably beat him in a pull up.
C
So for me, it's like, I never did pull ups as, like, a real workout. Like, it was always as a competition. It was like every time I've done right for you pull ups, it's just like, how many can you do? Like, you just want to know.
E
I honestly I don't know. I bet you I could do 20 right now for sure.
C
But 100 bucks?
E
Yeah.
B
Really?
E
I'd put 100 bucks. I could do 20 pull ups right now.
B
You think you would tap out at 20 because I might be able to do 21.
E
No, I'm just saying I could probably do 20 for sure. I could maybe do 25. I don't know, like, okay. But I, I, I'd put 100 bucks that I could do. Do you want to do it after this?
C
Yeah, I cross my mind.
B
Shake it, Shake it, Shake.
E
I mean, I'm down if you are.
C
But is it who does more or just if you do 20, you get 100?
E
I wasn't saying more. I was just saying if you do.
B
Ask me how much.
C
Yeah, no, no, yeah. So, yeah, if you do 20.
B
No, you, I think you're kind of an athlete.
E
I think I could do 20.
C
Like, I, yeah, no, I, I think.
D
Wow.
B
I haven't just changed mine real quick.
C
Yeah, yeah. You know, for sure. Yeah. 100. 100 bucks.
B
You are doing it. Go ahead, shake.
E
Yeah.
C
All right.
A
Under the podcast, the outro will be a little pull up contest between you two.
E
There we go. No, not pull up contest.
D
Sorry, sorry.
E
If I can hit 20.
B
Yeah, for sure.
C
Yeah. Everyone knows I can hit 20.
E
I can't believe you didn't think I could do 20. You just bet a 100 bucks that I couldn't do 20, but you're like, I got 20 in the bag.
B
How do you feel about that siege?
E
I'm a little confused on that.
B
I would be too.
C
Well, in the same way that you said gavs or you're smaller than gav. Like, I feel I'm smaller than you. Honestly, I probably do weigh more than you, but I'm definitely shorter.
E
No, you don't. You know, I weigh 184 pounds.
A
Really?
C
Okay. I'm down a little bit. Like, I'm a buck 75 right now.
E
Wow.
C
But I, you know what? I was guy, I was running 180 all winter for sure. And then.
B
Wow, you bulked up a little bit. Eh?
E
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good.
C
Mainly in the tummy.
B
That's not bad.
C
I heard, like, girls are into like the dad bod beer belly thing now. Like, six packs are kind of lame.
B
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Dude, you put two guys with a fine belly on a bummer out in the middle of the way going to.
E
Sandbar on a bummer.
B
Good luck keeping the ladies away.
E
Yeah, I mean, you guys, there were a lot of of women on the top of the Hummer.
B
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And their boyfriends were over watching.
E
Were there really? They had boyfriends?
B
Yeah. They were cool though.
E
Well, yeah, obviously they're sitting up there, but who didn't want to sit on top of that thing, right?
B
Be a little alarmed if my girlfriend was sitting on a bummer.
E
I would too.
C
Especially with you.
E
If it's not my bummer, I'd be like, that's not good. She probably ain't coming back.
B
Not looking great with Evan I up there.
C
I got all dvd.
E
So.
B
Rye.
A
Yeah, buddy.
B
How do you feel about three wars nowadays? I just gotta ask, baby. Well, see I, I, it's almost been a year since I came up here last. I'm gonna, I just want to know basically all your guys perspective on them now that we've became friends.
E
I think they're freaking cool. I just don't think I should be riding one guys. I can respect them and I, I really, I think they're cool.
A
Absolutely.
E
But the last thing I need to be doing is, is getting on a three wheeler and hitting some jumps.
B
So do you just feel like the tippiness is just not. Nothing's right about it. Right.
A
I feel like that might be the.
E
Last vehicle I would want to jump.
B
Hey, I like to hear that. It makes me feel better.
A
I feel like it just, it's just like got all of the bad qualities of a dirt bike and the bad qualities of a four wheeler.
B
Okay, you ready for the best answer?
D
What?
B
Yes, go ahead. Ev.
C
Always loved them. Hey, I don't, I don't know if I've said this before. It was my first off road vehicle that I ever rode. My, my grandpa Honda 110. Man, I don't know the year late, late was 70s, late 70s, probably early 80s, early 80s. 82, 83 maybe. I don't know, ATC 110. It could have no suspension, balloon tires, high low range tires. Yeah, okay. Yep.
B
Probably 70s, later 70s.
C
That was, that's what started the whole thing for me was that three wheeler.
B
Probably one of the raddest things about it all for me is that they are what started all the ATV and all that kind of everything for that manner.
C
Well, no, I mean the motorcycle.
B
No, no, no, no for, no, no, no for like the atv. No, for like being able to ride in winter. That's what big thing behind three wheelers was, is we need something that's going to sell in winter. And that's what exploded on the ATV side or whatever. I mean there was no, side by sides. It was dirt bikes and then three wheelers.
A
So they didn't make four wheelers. They. They went from two wheels to three wheels.
B
Exactly.
A
Really?
E
It just seems like four wheels would have made more sense.
C
You can't add two things at once.
D
You.
C
You add. You add one, but it.
A
You could add one axle.
B
They weren't thinking like that. I don't know. They were wanting to get rad. Yeah, they were wanting to get rad. And so that's probably one of the coolest things, is that's what started it all. And, like, hearing f story. I've heard so many stories. That's what kids grew up on. Like, older generation, even kids.
E
They're now full grown men. But, yeah, y. Yeah. Yeah.
B
You know. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Kids grew up, and then they're now they're freaking men.
C
They're old and they're dying now, but they're 50s.
B
It's what started it all. That's what's rad to me. It is.
A
It is nice to hear you excited about something, Gav. Yeah, Gav, you kind of got me in some trouble this weekend.
B
What do we got going on, Ry? You.
A
You call everybody baby.
B
I tend to do that.
A
You go like, give me some, baby.
B
You like that?
A
It's like, with Gavin's baby energy, I have started to call people baby.
B
Good.
A
My girlfriend has not appreciated me calling anybody within shouting distance baby.
B
Right. What's up, man? Who'd you call baby? Like, girls?
A
No, no, no. No girls. But, like, ev. I'm like, hey, hand me a tea, baby. Gav, come over here, baby. Like, stuff like that.
E
Well, that's ridiculous that she doesn't like that.
B
If you were going around calling other.
E
Girls baby, I could. I could see that.
A
That's true. I mean, I definitely can understand that, but I think. I think there was a. A slight tinge of jealousy. Yeah, no, I. I do, but it's just. It's tough to overcome the baby ratio.
C
It might devalue the baby.
E
That's probably what's actually going on.
B
Yeah, I think you're right there.
D
Ryan's baby guy. And now, Gav, you are turning him into a big baby guy.
B
What's up, baby? It's just fun to say, dude. Sorry to get you all tangled up in that mess, though.
E
Yeah, that's what happens when you hang.
B
Out with you trying to not burn Cormont down.
E
I don't know if you could say you're trying. You're working on it.
A
You're doing your best. I would say you're darn near trying to burn Cormorant down.
E
He's just so pumped that you're.
B
Oh, I know, I know. I'm taking all the blame for everything.
C
From Colorado to Cormorant and everything in between. Right? Yeah.
B
It's all just going to hell. Like, how do we keep it under control now? Evil.
C
There is no control.
B
Yeah, he was walking in, he was like, are you sure we're not brothers and something. I was, I have, There might be a bloodline down there, man.
C
I, I, I think we got some of the same trousers. I mean, jeans.
B
Damn it. Yeah, no, we're, we're trying not to burn it down.
A
You two have been a little dynamic duo. Like, cuz you're always sitting next to each other in restaurants and I have been cackling, laughing at you, dude. Cuz you two bust each other up and one of you spits out your food, your drink.
E
I'm sensing a little bit of jealousy out of Mike over there.
B
Oh, no, Mike's all about like, Gavin.
E
Came to town and now. Yeah, and now, and now it's like he's just been chewed off to the side and, and Nevin's like, hey, Gav.
B
Come on, let's, let's go, let's go.
E
Get lunch, just me and you.
C
Hey, we're just lucky that you guys already had bunk beds in my room because me and Gav were gonna build some last night.
D
Were you?
B
Yeah, we got the guacamole and the nachos going. I was like, oh, we need bunk beds. Oh, wait, we got bunk beds.
E
Did you sleep on the bunk beds last night? Just because, like, you know, we got that.
B
Well, you know. Yeah, we hit the sauna and stuff and then. Yeah.
A
Why are you still sleeping in a bunk bed?
E
But we've offered, we've offered to get you set up with a frigging queen size, get you a king size bed in that room.
C
So. I mean, most bunk beds people think is just two twin beds maybe, or something small. This is like a bigger bed. I'm not sure what the next size or two size. A full, maybe even a queen.
A
I don't think it's a queen.
B
It might be close. It's a close queen. Close queen.
D
Hey.
C
Well, I know I'm a short fella, but I can lay sideways damn near on it.
D
Really?
C
Yeah, so it's pretty good.
D
Okay.
C
The top acts as a shelf, like, like the top bed. I, I throw up there oh, yeah.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
Your hat.
C
My hats. My. My garbage clothes. No, not much.
A
Trash.
E
Hot Pockets.
C
Oh, yeah. Leave snacks. You know. Goldfish. Right.
E
Empty tea cans.
C
And then also, I've. I've found out, I didn't know this, that when you're using the lower level bed, that the upper level bed is a great point for.
B
For what?
C
Angling the position of your body when. When you're aggressively napping with your significant other.
B
You know, I feel like there would be multiple that. Okay, okay.
E
That makes sense.
B
Keep killing the bunk bed life. You might have had a cheat coat.
C
You know, Like, I feel like it.
E
Would get in the way a lot, though, because you couldn't even go all the.
C
Like, I'm five foot five.
E
I'd be like constantly. Yeah, I suppose maybe it works for you, huh?
C
Yeah, no, it works. Really?
E
All positives.
C
Yeah. No negatives.
D
Really?
E
You come over, like, next time you come over to the house, you look in my room. It's just a bunk bed.
B
Dude, that'd be hilarious.
C
My girlfriend wanted me to buy a sex swing. I purchased a bunk bed.
E
Be kind of nice. Like, you get kind of uncomfortable sleeping next to each other. Just one goes up top. You're still in the same room.
C
That's one step away from two bedrooms in the same.
E
Yeah, but it's still not two bedrooms.
C
Slightly better.
D
Yeah.
B
Oh, my gosh.
A
It is funny walking into Ev's room and he's just got his bunk bed in there.
C
It keeps me young.
E
There is something keeping you young, Ave, that's for sure.
C
I don't know what it is.
E
I think we all need a little bit of what Evan and Gavin have.
A
I agree.
E
Whatever you guys got going, man, honestly.
C
I don't think you guys can handle it.
E
I don't think we could either.
B
Very few can. It's not for everybody. There's a jam up left and right all the time. But.
E
This weekend, bro, you guys just had a real bonding moment that happened, and now you are going to be inseparable for life.
C
The scary thing is, is I felt that way the last half a dozen times we've met, but this week has.
A
Really been really connected.
B
It was really, honestly, the first time I ever came up here and I was talking about this rainbow rail. I don't want to do a rainbow rail. I don't do rails. I don't jump.
E
I thought you're going to say rainbows.
B
No, no, no, no. And so, yeah, we're hanging out over at the. Getting dinner or. No, no, we're getting lunch. Over at the pit. Okay. And Ev won't stop talking about. He's like, dude, I went to sleep last night. Not okay. We got this with rail. We could do this rail. I was like, all right, Ev. All right. He's like, if anyone's gonna do it, you're the three wheeler guy. You got to hit it first.
C
Yeah, I wanted it, but yeah. No, it wasn't my.
B
We'll keep going. We'll keep.
C
It's all you.
B
Yeah, exactly. Well, you know how it is. Or you.
C
I didn't know if it was possible. I needed a true guy Re Wheeler guy to show me.
B
So we show up and we're looking at. I was like, nope, not doing it. Not doing it. But I put my tennis shoes on just in case I was. In case I had a change of heart. Ready?
A
That's the riding.
E
I made sure to put my tennis shoes on.
A
I even tied my laces.
C
He went from the crocs to the tennis shoes.
B
Yep. Yep. Dude. I was like, it's game time maybe, but I really don't want game time maybe. And just light it up. Back and forth like, holy shit, he's about to do this. He looks at me one last time. He's sure, Gaff, you could do it first. And I go, ev, let me do it. Next thing I know, use second gear. Full throttle over rainbow rail. Best feeling I've ever had. And Ev saying, you got it, man. That's. That's when I knew. I was like, this is not gonna be good.
E
Like, what do you mean by his.
B
Confidence and him telling me, oh, we got this.
E
And then you listening and me believing.
B
Oh, we probably do got this. There's a chance we don't.
C
But he knows that if I'm gonna encourage him, I have.
E
He's in good hands.
C
He's in good hands. I support it. And I know he's got this better hands than most.
B
Like the 450 jump, too. When I cleared the 450 jobs. Oh, that's a big girl.
E
But I was like, dude, man, you know, I can't say that. I look at Evan and think I'm in good hands.
B
I can't believe I look at him and think that either. But there's just something about. I mean, and it all just wraps around to surrounding your people, surrounding yourself around people that you want to help make yourself better and be cool. And I don't do all the fun stuff with. And that's just one of the biggest examples right there. Just surrounding yourself by people that want to Push you and stuff like that.
A
Would you consider Evan to be an enabler?
B
Oof, I think I would.
E
Or more of a leader?
B
A little bit of both, definitely. Probably.
A
Who's leading when you two are going into something?
C
Is it.
B
You know, I don't feel that way. Ah, we're tag teaming it, but Ev has more experience, so I'm listening to him a little bit more, but I'm still trying to chirp.
C
Okay, Gav, you're confused.
B
Go ahead.
C
No, no, Like, I. I don't think I have more experience and I don't think you should trust me as much. I thought we were on the same page. Like we're going in this together, but this is. You're following me. I don't like that.
B
Well, just keep thinking we're on the same page.
C
All right, we'll run it. No, it is, though, for real. Like, the energy you got, you build off other people's energy. You do something crazy. I want to do something crazier. I don't know, you just. It's fun, right?
B
Yeah. No, you can't beat that.
E
That's good. That's good.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah, it is.
B
Does it make you guys ever want to try and go do the stunt here and there, like.
C
No, I know it does, okay. Because the entire Seaboy squad was wheeling in your yard for hours.
B
Oh, man, was that the best side I've ever seen, though. Did that make the heart?
C
I shed a tear. Ben was smiling, doing wheelies, drinking a Celsius. Ben was smiling, I shed a tear.
E
Oh, my God.
B
Why?
A
You cracked a smile.
C
Well, no, it wasn't just. I meant while doing the Wheeler, like. Yeah, it was amazing.
B
Oh, yeah.
C
The whole squad.
B
No, you can't beat that, right? That's what it's about right there.
C
I could never get the whole squad to do wheelies on a three wheeler. We show up to your place for a few hours, everyone's running.
E
Well, we only have a hand like one three wheeler, Ev.
B
Well, that probably the first one has.
C
Like 20 based off of this. You're suggesting we buy more?
E
Not necessarily, but heck yeah.
B
Dude, that was. That was rad. Have you guys all just on Wheelers, Everyone having the blast? Can't beat that. And you guys, that's all you guys need to go out and mess with. That's what it's about right there. You won't see more joy than just boys messing around on some old wheelers or anything. I mean, even if you have a freaking pedal bike, get outside and have fun with your friends. Right? Gosh damn.
D
Absolutely.
A
Is Outside paying you to tell people to go outside? Yeah.
B
No. Yeah. Is that your paid endorsement? G. Outside is nature's pain gap. Feeling my energy, man. Feeling my energy. I don't know. I love it. It'll do something to a man, I'll tell you that. Spent a little too much time up in dirty Gunny.
C
What's the dirtiest thing that's ever happened up in Gunny?
B
We don't want to go that.
E
Dude, I kind of wanna. I want to hear this.
C
Let's unpack it.
B
Like what? Tell me. Tell me what you want to like. What kind of story would you like to hear here?
C
Well, you just dirty. Yeah.
B
The dirtiest.
A
But what is.
B
In what manner? In what manner?
A
So just give. Give the people a 5 second description of Gunnison.
B
So Gunnison is not on the main highway up to the mountain.
C
It's off the beaten path.
B
It is off the beaten path.
A
Is there an asphalt road that goes there?
B
There is, but it says it's a single lane. Oh, yeah. It's not the big old three lane highway up I 70? No, you're taking the single lane up 285 straight to Gunny.
A
Okay.
B
It's paradise. But man, will that change a man. Let's keep on going. And so, dude, dirtiest story, man. I don't know if that's appropriate, dude. I don't have too many dirty stories. I mean, we try to keep it pretty classy in the mountains.
E
I'm glad.
B
One of my favorite.
C
Why can't you keep it classy in cormorant?
E
Yeah, I was gonna say I'm glad you breakfast in the mountains.
B
We like to keep it classy.
A
We get down here in the slums of cormorant.
B
I just let it loose. Don't say that. One of the best things. No, this is one of the funniest things that's happened is just on the trails and some girl comes up to me. Did. Did you make that? What are you talking about? I have no clue what she. That three. Three woke and trap. Did you make it? What?
A
Gavin, did you tell that woman that you invented the three?
B
So do you know how to make them? Oh, this is mine. Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
Oh, I. I started showing for a sec and that was the end of it. She got. Then she went off. She thought I was a creator. Three wheelers.
C
That was anti climatic.
E
You're going somewhere like that.
C
I thought you're gonna have her piled up on the back of the video.
E
Yeah, same.
B
That's where I Thought he was going, yeah, she was one of the Gunnison hippie chicks. Yeah. You know.
E
Oh, she wasn't a heavy. She was a hippie, dude.
B
There's a difference.
E
Yeah, I mean, there's. They're polar opposites. I'd go to say 100.
C
You ever take a nice young lady on a night out on the town on the three wheeler?
B
Oh, 100. That was probably one of the best things. Just cruising up to Hartman's with old lady on the back of the Big Red. Go cook a nice burger on a rock.
E
You cooked a burger on a rock.
B
You know what I'm saying, though?
C
No, no, I don't think anyone does it exactly.
B
No.
C
Did you start a fire?
B
No, I just put the grill right on. Right there on top of the rocks.
C
Oh. Oh, you're on a big rock.
B
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, yeah.
A
I thought you were cooking on a rock.
C
Yeah. Because I've heard of people, like, cooking an egg on hot asphalt, so I envision you cooking a burger on a hot rock.
B
No, no, no. It was. I got my little girl set up there.
C
You know, where do you put the grill if you got a girl and the three wheeler?
B
And it's a big rock? No, how big is the rock out there?
C
You have a grill in your backpack?
B
Yeah.
C
Are you spongebob?
B
You guys are throwing this story all over the place.
C
No, I just want to know the little thing. You're going on a sweet little date. You got yourself a Big Red, you got yourself a cute gal, and you probably got a grill, A barbecue grill.
B
No, I have a grill right there.
C
Oh, you leave it out there?
B
No, no, I bring it the Big Red up, get everything loaded on, and cruise up the hills.
C
But where's the grill?
D
When you.
C
Where's the grill?
A
Do you pull a trailer?
B
No, it's in the back. The Big Red. Big Red has a big compartment. Oh, you guys. No, but gonna send. Yeah, that's all you got to do out there. There's no big parties or anything. You got to go outside, you got to catch a fish, and you got to go hang out.
A
Yeah, there's that outside plug again, dude.
B
You guys, no, we're trying to get the kids outside.
C
How do you feel about kids with iPads?
B
Terrible. Makes me want to go up and see how far I can pun it.
A
The kid at that point.
B
Gosh damn it.
C
No, it shouldn't be the kid. The iPad or the parent.
B
Maybe not the kid. IPad or.
C
Give him a three wheeler. Don't kick him. No.
B
Yeah, damn. Give him A fishing pole kid's on.
E
The iPad after he breaks his collarbone. The next day it's back on the iPad because he broke his collarbone.
B
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
C
Yeah, that. I was thinking about that. You know, we give away the, the pit bikes and it'd be cool if you did a three wheeler giveaway, but you can't do that. You can't give a kid a three wheeler.
E
He did.
B
I did.
C
Oh, I'm sorry. I missed that part.
B
Yeah, yeah. We bought a van, so we did a giveaway. Yeah.
C
And he's okay, so.
B
Yeah. Oh, he's alive still. I told him, stay in second gear. Do not leave second gear. Keep your feet on the pedals and you're gonna be good.
C
He wasn't an iPad kid, I hope.
B
Ah, he didn't know how to do carb clean. He might have been an iPad kid.
C
You're telling me that you gave away a wheeler that needed a carb clean? You are every Craigslist guy ever.
B
It's.
C
It's minute. Just needs a carb clean. You won the grand prize.
B
It just needs a carb clean. We made sure to get. No, no, I was just talking to him about carb cleaners. We made sure to give him the cleanest.
C
Really?
B
We had that thing started.
C
The cleanest carb.
B
Shut up. No, start it up first, pole man. No, we treated him right, but no, that, that, that was a scary thing about it. He had no clue. He hopped on that thing and he did not know what he was doing. He took a hard Lucy and it wasn't looking good for him off the bat.
C
Lucy.
D
Shut up.
B
Yeah. What the. Do you always call left Lucy? You got to hook Lucy, man. Oh, that one does not taste right. All right. But yeah, no, then after that we got, we got him to keep his feet on the pegs and dude, stay in second gear. Got the hang of it. Did a couple willys with the kid, sent him off the 185.
A
I'm. I'm really excited to see you to do a pull up. Not contest. Sorry. I'm excited to see CJ do 20 pull ups.
C
Yeah. After CJ goes like there's no wage on what I can do, but obviously I'm just going to try to do better just to be a douche.
B
That's cool if you have.
C
I'm not sure if I can. C.J. hits the gym. But you're what, five, six days a week in the gym?
E
No, it just depends on the time. Lately I have been going to the gym a lot but you do. Other times it'll be like four months without even going.
C
Oh, really?
E
Yeah, yeah, it just goes back and forth.
B
Good, cj.
C
But I see you all the time. When, when There's a quick five, 15 minutes of downtime, you just zip over, hit a couple.
E
Yeah, I try to.
C
Lifts, whatever. I think that's almost better. If you blend it through the day, like five times, you just wander over.
A
Definitely better than nothing.
C
Oh, better than nothing.
B
For sure.
E
I'd agree.
B
How do you guys feel about working out? Does it actually help you get through? Like if you work out in the morning or night, what's that like for you? What do you prefer?
E
I think if I work out during the day, preferably morning, it just like you feel like you already got a good victory under your belt.
B
Ready to go. Yeah, that's the best.
E
Like you could do like a normal full day. But if you like mix in a workout, like an actual. You went to the gym, you really feel like you did a good job.
B
You'Re ready to start kicking ass.
D
Right.
E
You didn't leave anything unturned that day. At least that's how I feel.
B
No, I feel the same way. What do you got to say about it, Ev?
C
No, I hate the gym. I don't enjoy it.
B
And so what do you.
E
We're all drinking water there.
B
What do you think about. Sorry. Yeah, no, but for real. But I.
C
The same thing that C.J. just, just, just described. I would get that out of hopping on my dirt bike and just ripping the track for 30 minutes straight. 10, 20 laps, whatever. Just ride till I'm exhausted. And I feel satisfied from that.
B
But it's also screwed up because you're also just one of those natural born athletes that doesn't really. You could go sleep on that couch and drink Cheetos and nachos, all eat Cheetos and drink, drink Gatorades all day and go perform like hell of an athlete on the track 20 minutes later. Yeah, but. Cuz that's just you. There's just dogs like that, I guess, huh?
C
I do what I can.
A
I just. It's so hard for me to like when I wake up, I normally get so excited. Not excited maybe isn't the right term, but I'm like ready to go get to work. Like we have a gym here and never use it because I get to work and I go, all right, going to do 10 minutes of things on my computer, then I'll run down there and work out. And it's like you get started with the day and then it's too hard for me to quit and go work.
B
I feel that.
A
But I always feel better when I do. I wish I was better at it.
E
Just got to dedicate yourself.
A
It's true.
B
All it's about, really. Yeah. Well, final question.
D
Yeah.
B
How do you guys think Scuba Steve is going to work? We. I just want to know right before we do this. Yeah. What do you guys all think?
E
I think that. Yeah. I mean, it just depends on location. I think it's going to go well because we have big ranch.
C
I was gonna say we have the number one guy in the country for.
A
Driving a three wheeler underwater.
C
Well, that too. I was gonna say the number one guy in the country for building a machine that is gonna operate in water that should not be near the water. Like the Hummer.
A
Yep.
C
Brian's the guy. He's gonna make it happen. We got the ultimate driver and we got the ultimate builder. I don't see where we could go wrong. It's gonna go wrong, but I don't.
E
Know where it's gonna actually do it. Or someone else going to do it.
B
Oh, I'm doing it.
E
You're the one going to go underwater?
B
Yeah. Let's go.
E
Okay.
A
Well, I believe the beauty of a Honda is you could do it multiple times.
B
Right. Oh, no. We'll pull the plug. We got. Yeah.
E
Well, I was just. No offense. Take this. I shouldn't say no offense because then you know what? I just shouldn't say it.
C
Offender. Say offend them.
E
I. Gavin, give me how many.
B
You just.
E
Maybe someone else should drive the three wheeler.
B
Oh.
E
Like it just.
B
You're a fantastic.
E
You're a fantastic three wheeler driver. Rider.
B
Okay.
E
But you just haven't successfully.
C
Yeah, you're right.
E
What Steve did. Maybe we need a different rider. Maybe we need a different ride. Just. I'm just throwing it out there.
C
Maybe kind of like the water. Consider.
D
Remember you.
C
You couldn't quite get the water skip. And then Ken came in.
B
Yeah. Kill it.
C
So I kind of. Maybe Ken would be the guy for this job.
B
Ken, how do you feel about scuba diving?
A
I've never gone scuba diving or anything like that. Snorkeling.
C
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Gav hasn't scuba dived either.
B
Legally. No. We're gonna defy the odds and we're gonna have a hell of a time doing it. And we're gonna make it across, fellas.
A
All right, first, let's go do some pull ups.
Episode: "Micah Got a Call From Jail" (July 25, 2023)
In this lively episode, the CboysTV crew—Ryan, Gavin, Evan, Ken, and Mike—deliver a classic mix of offbeat storytelling, mechanical shenanigans, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes. The group covers everything from near-disasters with their “Hummer pontoon” creation, to tales of three-wheeler obsession, random jail phone calls, the eternal Honda debate, and the unique energy Gavin brings to the crew. As always, the energy is irreverent, quick-witted, and packed with inside jokes.
On the Hummer pontoon trip:
“I was so anxious the entire time... listening to the welds cracking and popping on the Hummer as we're floating over 30ft of water.” — Ryan (01:56)
On rental shop hassles:
"I had a whole story built up, and I was like, he's gonna buy this for sure. He goes, 'Just have him bring in a certificate.'” — Ryan (12:00)
On content boundaries:
“I feel like I'm going to get jammed up all the time.” — Gavin (13:57)
On the jail call:
"So then it was like, press button to accept call for the jail. I'm like, okay, well, cool. Someone in jail is calling me.” — Micah (17:39)
On three-wheeler life:
"I did not leave that bad girl once. I pooped on it, I slept on it, I ate on it." — Gavin (19:15)
Marketplace vigilance:
“You got to check it whenever you're taking a piss or whatever. Just roll on it real quick.” — Gavin (27:47)
On three-wheeler evolution:
“They went from two wheels to three wheels… they weren't thinking like that. They were wanting to get rad.” — Gavin (38:50)
On infectious positivity:
"With Gavin's baby energy, I have started to call people baby. My girlfriend has not appreciated me calling anybody within shouting distance baby." — Ryan (39:43)
Pull-up Bet:
"I bet you I could do 20 right now for sure." — CJ (34:46)
This episode embodies the heart of CboysTV: creative ridiculousness, tight crew camaraderie, a love for machines (especially Hondas), and contagious energy—especially from Gavin. Whether sharing near-misses or stoking new bets, the group’s stories underline the importance of adventure, not taking life too seriously, and making the most of every ridiculous opportunity.
For listeners: Expect a blend of mechanical chaos, throwback ATV lore, bromantic energy, and unapologetic fun—a recipe that’s made Life Wide Open a hit among fans of action-packed friendship and wild stories.
